Chapter 306: Three Dukes and Nine Ministers
The pill that Jiang Lisheng fed to King Zhou was only the Guyuan Pill, which could preserve his remaining vitality and prevent it from being lost, but it could not really save his life.
She could see that the man was dying.
Unless she takes out another piece of immortal grass.
But can the immortal grass be taken easily? People from the immortal sect should not interfere in the affairs of the emperors of the mortal world, especially affecting the emperor's life without authorization. She cannot decide whether to take the immortal grass or not.
She sighed, "My energy has been sucked dry. Only the Immortal Grass can save me."
Wei Qinglan naturally saw it too, knowing that she had half of the Immortal Grass. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Save his life first, and we'll discuss it later."
Jiang Lisheng nodded and urged the trembling old eunuch beside him, "What are you waiting for? Go find someone who can talk. It can be the Third Lord you mentioned just now, or the Crown Prince."
The old eunuch naturally could not make the decision himself. From what the two men said and from their expressions, it did not seem like they came to murder the king. He was also at a loss at this moment and could only reluctantly trust them. After all, all the guards in the palace combined could not beat these two men. Just now, the man waved his sleeves, and all of them were forced to move. How could he contend with the power of the people from the Immortal Sect?
So he nodded quickly and told the eunuch beside him, "Go and invite the three officials."
As for the crown prince, there is no need to invite him for now. The king said that he should let the crown prince reflect on himself. The crown prince has submitted memorials countless times, but the king has been determined not to see him.
Several young eunuchs responded and left in a hurry.
Jiang Lisheng felt a little tired. He walked to the table, found a chair and sat down. He said to the old eunuch, "Is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
She urged her spiritual power, drew two arrays, and killed those people. She felt that all the food she had eaten in the East Palace had been digested. Now she was waiting for the Third Duke to come. I was afraid she would have to wait for a long time.
The old eunuch was shocked. He didn't expect that she would actually want to eat at this time. He could only say, "Yes, yes."
He ordered, "Go to the imperial kitchen and get some cakes."
Someone went immediately.
Jiang Lisheng felt that he was on the right track, and treated her much better, "Thank you."
The old eunuch shook his head, "No, you're welcome."
He looked at Wei Qinglan, thinking that these two immortals seemed different from the immortals in the legend. However, apart from the Feng family, he had never seen any other immortals. Since the four realms signed the agreement, the immortals would avoid the human capital and no one would come easily.
The noise in the palace was so loud that it was impossible not to alarm the court officials in the capital. The three ministers had been paying close attention to the palace's movements, but since the Heavenly Master led his troops away, the king had been ill for many days and had not attended the morning court. They did not know what the situation was in the palace. They only knew that the Imperial Hospital examined the king every day and changed countless prescriptions, but the king did not get better.
The three officials are old, and they have recently found that their health is getting worse. After examining them, the people in the Imperial Hospital said that it was because of worry and overwork. How can they not worry? In the capital today, the king is ill, the crown prince has been ordered to reflect on himself behind closed doors, the court is tired of politics, and the court officials dare not easily express their opinions. After all, because of the burning of the city, the blood flowed into the Golden Palace that day, and they are all afraid.
Now everyone is watching and waiting for a turnaround, whether good or bad.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge commotion in the palace today. The residences of the Three Dukes were the first to get the news. The Grand Tutor, the Grand Preceptor, and the Grand Guardian hurriedly got up from their beds and rushed into the palace. The Nine Ministers were also afraid that something big might happen, so they hurriedly dropped the government affairs in their hands and hurried into the palace.
Not long after, a group of people came to King Zhou's bedroom.
The old eunuch had just ordered someone to bring tea and snacks. Jiang Lisheng had just finished eating when she heard hurried footsteps coming from outside. She turned her head and looked, "Someone is coming so soon?"
The old eunuch immediately went out and saw that, as expected, all the three dukes and nine ministers had arrived. He immediately felt relieved and stepped forward to greet them, "Grand Master, Grand Tutor, Grand Protector, you are finally here. Something big has happened."
On their way to the palace, the court officials learned that two people from the immortal sect had broken into the palace and killed the people left by the Heavenly Master. They were not very angry, because the Heavenly Master's people had always been suppressing them. The court officials did not agree with the burning of Hexin City, but the Heavenly Master advised, and the king insisted on his own way and saw blood in the court, so the court officials dared not speak out. Later, the Heavenly Master suggested sending troops to Yunshan City. The king gave the order, and no one dared to say anything. Now that the Heavenly Master has left Beijing, she still left guards to guard the palace and suppress the court, which made them feel quite powerless.
Now, all the people were killed by two people from the immortal sect who suddenly broke into the palace. For a moment, although they did not applaud and say that the killing was well done, they could not be angry even if they wanted to.
The three dukes looked at each other, and the Grand Tutor spoke: "What happened? Is the king okay?"
The old eunuch said: "The king is still unconscious, you will know when you come in and take a look..."
The three ministers nodded and entered the King of Zhou's bedroom.
What I saw were two young people sitting at the table, a man and a woman, both very young. The man was drinking tea and the woman was holding a piece of dessert in her hand. Both of them looked very relaxed, as if they were at home.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment for a moment.
Looking at the king again, he was lying on the bed, looking skinny.
Everyone was shocked. The Grand Master hurried to the bed and asked, "Why is the king in this state?"
The old eunuch held back a handful of bitter tears, "Since the Heavenly Master left, the king has become increasingly thin. The imperial doctors took turns to check his pulse and said that the king was suffering from various kinds of fatigue and his heart blood was depleted. They tried countless prescriptions, but none of them worked..."
"If that's the case, why has the king refused to see us despite our repeated requests?" asked the Grand Tutor.
The old eunuch was about to cry. "The king is in a daze every day. The people left behind by the Heavenly Master said that the king is recuperating recently and is not suitable to meet with court officials. Naturally, this old servant cannot make the decision..."
The Grand Master was angry. At this moment, he felt that the two people from the immortal sect who came here had done a good job in killing the Heavenly Master's people. He asked again, "Why is there no imperial physician now?"
The old eunuch didn't know either. "They are probably on their way. You arrived too soon. But the girl from the Immortal Sect fed the king a pill. The king looks better than before, although he hasn't woken up yet..."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master suppressed his anger and bowed to Wei Qinglan and Jiang Lisheng in a serious manner, "I heard that you two are from the Immortal Sect. May I ask your names?"
Wei Qinglan stood up, "Kunlun Wei Qinglan."
Jiang Lisheng put down the cake in his hand, "Qingxu Jiang Lisheng."
The names of Kunlun and Qingxu are not unfamiliar in the mortal world. When the three dukes and nine ministers heard this, they were all shocked. They did not expect that these two young men came from the two major immortal sects of Kunlun and Qingxu.
The Grand Master said quickly, "So they are the two immortals from Kunlun Qingxu. I wonder why they broke into the palace and killed so many people?"
Wei Qinglan said, "We originally came here for Yunshan City's Yun Family's affairs. We first went to the East Palace and met the Crown Prince. Now we are here to see the King. We didn't expect that there was a sinister formation set up in the palace. In order to break the formation, we killed the people guarding it."
