Chapter 168: Careless
The Xue family’s ancestral tomb exploded.
After the explosion, he returned to Beijing angrily and knocked on the door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
The onlookers were all pointing and saying: "The former emperor's mausoleum was blown up?"
"It exploded! It was struck by lightning! It must be because he did too many evil things."
"It is still the current emperor who is the best and brings benefits to the people."
The people were talking about it, pointing fingers and almost poking a hole in the Xue family's spine.
There was a crack in the door of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery's Mansion.
He was forcefully pushed away by the Xue clan members.
"What are you doing? What are you doing? How dare you break into the Marquis's mansion!" The doorman's face changed drastically and he shouted angrily.
The leading woman kicked the doorman away.
"Damn it! They actually tricked the Xue family!"
"Get out here, you old bastard!"
"How dare you cheat me of any money? Get out here." The Xue family led their men directly into the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery.
Pei came hurriedly and saw the Xue family coming in a mighty and angry manner.
"You are so good, Pei, you deliberately revealed Lu Chaochao's birth date and deceived us!!"
"The old lady still accepted 50,000 taels from the Xue family. She is such a wicked person. It was actually the result of lightning that caused the imperial mausoleum to be struck by lightning!" The woman wiped away her tears and pointed at Pei and cursed.
Pei was stunned: "I didn't lie to you, that's Lu Chaochao's horoscope."
"Bah, you still dare to lie! Her horoscope and her personal belongings were thrown into the brazier, and the imperial mausoleum was blown up. You must want to harm the Xue family!"
"A bunch of conscienceless people."
The old lady came over in response.
Madam Xue pointed at the old lady and cursed: "You rotten heartless thing, selling your granddaughter's life for money, you rotten heartless thing."
The people were secretly lying at the door and were shocked when they heard this.
"Is this something a grandmother would do? Using her granddaughter's birth date to borrow her life?"
"Rubbish, a whole family of rubbish."
The old lady was so angry that she fell backwards: "You..." They agreed to keep it a secret.
"Keep it a secret? What secret do I need to keep? The royal mausoleum of my Xue family is gone, and Huang'er is dead! It's all because of your damn life-borrowing!" She only knew that the problem was with her birth date, but she didn't know the specific reason.
“Pay back the money.”
“Smash!”
"Smash it hard for me." The woman was determined to break the jar.
With a wave of his hand, the servants of the Xue family started to smash and destroy things crazily in the Mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery. Pei wanted to stop them and was slapped twice.
"Women are the most vicious. Selling your child's birth date to borrow his life span, only you can do it!"
Mrs. Xue was furious.
She was supposed to be the empress dowager, but now, all is gone.
"Stop, stop. Is there any law?" The old lady was holding a cane and couldn't stop them at all.
"I've given you Lu Chaochao's horoscope, what else do you want to do?"
"We didn't lie to the Xue family!" No one listened to the old lady's explanation.
The Xue family needs to vent.
They smashed the mansion of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery to pieces, and only when the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery brought his men back home did the Xue family take the money and leave.
The poor and brave Marquis's Mansion was hit even harder.
That night.
The last orphan of the previous dynasty is gone.
Xue Huang died suddenly.
The bloodline was cut off and the emperor's worries were gone.
When the emperor heard the news in his study, he couldn't stop smiling.
"Princess Zhaoyang's second birthday is approaching. Let's celebrate it in advance tonight and set off fireworks all night long for the whole nation to enjoy." The emperor waved his hand.
The Xue family bloodline was cut off and the imperial tomb of the previous dynasty was bombed, but he was not gloating over it.
Lu Chaochao looked at him in confusion. My birthday is still two months away.
The emperor hummed happily.
The prince led Lu Chaochao out of the palace and they arrived in front of the basilica.
"Your Highness, please stop. No one is allowed to come near without His Majesty's order." The guard stopped him.
The prince nodded slightly.
He looked at the top of the nine-story pagoda with a dim gaze.
"What's on the tower?" Lu Chaochao looked in the direction he was looking.
The prince touched Chaochao's head.
He looked at the top of the tower with a gloomy expression, and when his eyes fell on Chao Chao, there was a hint of tenderness in them.
"Something very important."
The prince took her out of the palace and sent her to the Lu family.
Xu invited the prince to have dinner at her house. Lu Chaochao looked at him expectantly, and the prince readily agreed.
During the meal, Lu Chaochao happily held the bowl and ate.
When you raise your head to drink water.
Seeing the prince taking a bite of rice and a bite of vegetable seriously, he was stunned for a moment.
She remembered that one of her disciples also had this habit.
One bite of vegetable, one bite of rice, and a sip of soup after the meal, never breaking the routine.
While she was distracted, she saw the prince finish his meal and pick up the bowl of soup.
Take a sip and put it down.
Lu Chaochao tilted his head. The disciple was called Chongyue. God of time and space.
How could it be the little prince?
The little prince is just a poor creature whose body was possessed by someone else.
Lu Chaochao shook her head, her disciple was a god.
"Has Chao Chao checked Ping'an's pulse?" The prince asked casually after the meal.
Xu was stunned for a moment, then shook her head.
"When I was still in the Marquis' Mansion, I had the habit of checking Ping's pulse every month. But at that time, my relationship with Lu Yuanze was bad, so the matter was put on hold."
"I never thought about it after I left the house. It was my fault." Xu suddenly remembered that the mansion had not yet hired a permanent doctor.
She asked hurriedly and nervously, "But is there anything wrong with Chao Chao's body?"
Chao Chao has never had a headache or fever, the only time he has had a stomachache is because of eating too much.
Rub it twice at night and it will return to normal.
The prince pursed his lips and said, "Don't check Chaochao's pulse. She, there is something wrong with her body." Seeing that Xu's face suddenly turned pale, the prince hurriedly said again.
"But it won't affect your life. Don't worry, Madam Xu."
"Chao Chao's physique is different from that of an ordinary person. If outsiders were to notice this, I'm afraid it would cause trouble."
"If Chaochao feels unwell, send someone to the East Palace to look for me. Don't let the doctor take my pulse." The prince said seriously.
Xu's heart was pounding like thunder and she was in a panic.
"Is Chao Chao really okay?"
"Please rest assured, Madam Xu. There's nothing serious for now." He nodded and left.
Xu was extremely upset, but she did not dare to call a doctor.
Lu Chaochao saw that his mother's eyes were empty and she seemed to be in a daze.
She silently reached out, stole a chicken leg and hid it in her arms.
At night, Xu dismissed her attendants and personally helped Chao Chao wash and dress.
When I washed up, I looked carefully and found nothing unusual on my body.
After Chao Chao fell asleep, Xu sat blankly in front of the bed.
Strange?
What's different?
Xu couldn't help but put her hand under Lu Chaochao's nose and breathed.
She breathed a sigh of relief and smiled helplessly, thinking that she was really crazy. Why did you think of feeling your breath?
He casually placed his hand on Lu Chaochao's chest.
The smile on his face slowly faded.
Her expression changed slightly. She undressed Lu Chaochao and carefully lay on top of her to listen to her heartbeat.
calm.
Deathly calm.
The beating that should have come from my chest was now silent.
Xu suddenly covered her mouth and gritted her teeth to hold back the scream that was about to escape from her throat.
She was shaking all over and tears were streaming down her face.
His eyes were fixed on Lu Chaochao.
Fine and dense goose bumps appeared on my body.
"How...how could there be nothing?" Xu's whole body was trembling, and she covered her chest with trembling hands again.
No.
Really not!
How could Chao Chao have no heartbeat? ?
