Chapter 3: Leaving You an Empty Palace
Shi Luo's head was aching so much that he thought he was about to die from being hit by a rock, so why was it still hurting so much?
No, why am I so unlucky? Where did the stone come from? Shouldn't everyone be unconscious now? Why would someone throw something from a high altitude?
The headache had just subsided a little, and before I even opened my eyes, a flood of memories began to emerge in my mind.
Very good, very good. I was indeed crushed to death. I am no longer in the apocalypse. I have traveled to a country that did not exist in history, Daqing.
Ahhhhhh, I’m actually traveling through a book again.
The most amazing thing is that he actually traveled through time and space and became an emperor. This emperor was also called Shi Luo, a ten-year-old puppet emperor.
Why could he become emperor at the age of ten? It was because the queen died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to Shi Luo. The emperor at that time truly loved the queen, so Shi Luo was named crown prince as soon as he was born.
After serving as the crown prince for three years, the emperor died of an epidemic.
The three-year-old boy naturally became the emperor. Before the emperor died, he appointed his younger brother, the King of Qi, as regent.
The three-year-old emperor is completely useless, and the King of Qi can be said to be a man who can cover the sky with one hand.
Originally, the regent was doing well and there was nothing wrong with it, but the late emperor left an imperial decree that when the little emperor turned ten, the position of regent would be removed and the little emperor would take full control of the imperial power.
The late emperor had good intentions, but who knew that this imperial edict would become the death warrant of the young emperor.
After tonight, tomorrow will be the little emperor's tenth birthday. According to the content of the book, the regent will find someone to disguise as an assassin and assassinate the little emperor at the birthday party.
In fact, even if the little emperor was not assassinated, he would not survive tomorrow. The current empress dowager, the second empress of the late emperor, had always wanted her son to become emperor, so she secretly gave the little emperor a chronic poison.
The little emperor was poisoned to death today because the dose of poison was high enough, otherwise Shi Luo would not have been able to get through.
However, it was useless for Shi Luo to travel through it, because this body was indeed poisoned to the bone marrow and could not be saved. There was no spiritual spring in the space that could revive the dead. But it didn't matter. With Shi Luo's strong soul, this body could still hold on until dawn.
Shi Luo thought that since he was already here, he couldn't come in vain, so he took advantage of the dark night and strong wind to put all the things in the palace into the space, which could be regarded as revenge for the little emperor.
At that time, no matter whether the regent successfully rebels and becomes emperor or the queen's biological son becomes emperor, they will have to face a palace with nothing. It's so cool just thinking about it.
After all, the young emperor had been the emperor for several years, and the regent and the empress dowager did a good job on the surface. No servant in the palace dared to disrespect Shi Luo, so no one dared to stop Shi Luo from going anywhere.
Shi Luo possessed all the memories of the young emperor and knew the layout of the palace very clearly. Shi Luo did not allow anyone to follow him, and secretly cleaned out the emperor's private storehouse, the private storehouses of everyone in the harem, the imperial pharmacy, the imperial study, and the imperial kitchen, even the fabrics used to make clothes for the maids and eunuchs were not spared.
Originally these places were guarded by people, but isn’t tomorrow the little emperor’s birthday? A birthday banquet will be held then.
Also, because the Regent wanted to rebel tomorrow, and thought that it would be easier to assassinate him with so many people, he made the birthday banquet very large. As a result, everyone in the palace was busy preparing for the birthday banquet, and even half of the patrolling guards were gone, so naturally they were more negligent. That was why Shi Luo was able to receive the things without being discovered.
However, precisely because there was a birthday banquet tomorrow, there were so many good things in the imperial kitchen, so Shi Luo was particularly satisfied with collecting them. Although the imperial kitchen was bustling with people, and it would be particularly difficult to collect things, he still tried his best to avoid people and cleaned the imperial kitchen thoroughly.
The imperial kitchen was the last stop, but he was not afraid of being discovered. After all, as long as no one was found to be visible when collecting things into the space, no one would think of Shi Luo. After Shi Luo collected the things, he listened to all kinds of screams of seeing ghosts in the imperial kitchen, avoided the people rushing here, and quickly returned to his bedroom, the Yangxin Palace. It was not that he did not want to go to other places, but this body could not hold on any longer.
When Luo returned to the Yangxin Palace, he was still unwilling to give up, even though he had just received thousands of boxes of gold, silver and jewelry, tens of thousands of pieces of silk and satin, countless delicacies, and various medicinal supplements.
But none of these can make up for the regret of his one-day trip to Daqing. After all, no one knows whether he can travel through time and be reborn again. Maybe he will really die this time.
In this regretful state, Shi Luo slowly died with reluctance.
When I opened my eyes again, it was 1972.
Ah, in my memory, my name is still Shi Luo, and I have always depended on my grandfather.
My grandfather used to be a businessman, so of course, only Shi Luo knew about this now.
At that time, the situation was chaotic and there were many wars. After my grandfather started from scratch, he didn't dare to show off. He didn't buy any property with the money he earned, but exchanged it all for valuable things such as gold and silver.
My grandfather's business requires him to travel all over the country, and he is busy and tired every day. In addition, he is always well-dressed when he goes out, but he is always dusty and exhausted when he comes home.
To outsiders, he looked even less like a rich man, and they thought he had no real job and was never at home.
At that time, anyone with a little money would be plundered by their respective forces, so even if my grandfather had money, he didn't dare to spend it lavishly. In addition, my grandfather was cautious and tight-lipped, so no one around him knew that he was rich.
Not long after the original owner's mother was born, my grandmother was stabbed to death with a dagger by a robber while she was out shopping.
From then on, my grandfather became more determined not to show off his wealth and became more low-key in his daily life.
They were so low-key that even their own daughter, the original owner's mother, didn't know that their family was actually a wealthy family. She always thought that the original owner's grandfather went out to do odd jobs to earn money to support the family.
The original owner's mother suffered heavy bleeding when giving birth to Luo. Although she was saved, she still suffered from a chronic illness and passed away when the original owner was three years old.
Before the original owner's mother passed away, she gave her grandfather a jade pendant in front of the original owner. The front was engraved with the word "Phoenix" and the back was a phoenix pattern.
He also told my grandfather that the original owner's father's surname was Feng, and that this jade pendant was left to the child by the original owner's father. It should also be a symbol of the young master of the Feng family. The original owner's father also knew of the original owner's existence, and had secretly come to see the original owner several times before, and gave him gifts several times. He also said that the original owner's father loved the original owner very much, but could not accompany him to grow up because of special reasons.
After the original owner's mother passed away, my grandfather would see a package half a person's height at his doorstep on the morning of the 15th of every month. It was signed with the word "Feng", but he never saw the man who delivered the package.
When the original owner grew up, he ate the wrapped chocolate and asked his grandfather what his father was like.
The grandfather told the original owner that he had never seen the original owner's father. It was once that he had been away for three months and when he returned home, the original owner's mother suddenly told him that she was pregnant.
My grandfather said that he was very angry at the time, but no matter how he asked, the original owner's mother refused to tell him who the child belonged to. He asked her to beat the child, but the original owner's mother disagreed. He had no choice but to tie the original owner's mother up and take her to the hospital.
Grandpa took the original owner's mother to the hospital, but the doctor said that Shi Luo's mother's body might only have this one chance to get pregnant, and if she didn't want it, she would never have another chance in the future.
When my grandfather heard this, he didn't dare to make a strong decision. After discussing with the original owner's mother, he decided to keep the original owner.
Later, when my grandfather realized that the situation was not right, he reduced the number of times he went out to make money.
The situation outside was getting more and more tense. One time, the package sent by the original owner's father also included a house deed in Beijing with the original owner's name on it and a letter. The house deed was the title deed and land title to the house where the original owner and his grandfather currently lived.
