Chapter 12: Secrets
After Li Yun'er entered, she saw her father half-lying on the dragon couch, and hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects. Then he stood aside with his hands down, and took the initiative to tell his father what had happened in the past few days, especially the exposure of his own immortal cultivation. Emperor Li Shien, after listening to this, pondered for a moment, and before he could speak, he saw Zhang Qiang running in in a hurry and told the emperor, "The eldest prince Li Jianmin and the princess Zhang Liru ask to see."
"Hmph, let them wait outside! You now send someone to recruit Li Yuanqing in. The emperor snorted coldly and ordered Zhang Qiang.
"Don't be afraid, what are you afraid of, the people concerned are all dead, only your eldest brother and sister-in-law are not dead, oh, and Wei Dong's kid! He's okay, right?" the emperor said half-jokingly, "I'll let me slap your eldest brother and your sister-in-law later, silly boy, it's okay, I gave you this secret book of cultivating immortals at the beginning, and let you cultivate immortals, just to let you have the power to protect yourself in the future, and also to let our Dongchen Xing's immortal cultivation flame not be extinguished, not to make you cowardly and afraid!"
"Yes, father, but I always feel unstable in my heart!" Li Yun'er replied.
"Alas, you immortal cultivators have always had a very good premonition, but since it has happened, it's useless to be afraid, it's better to face it calmly. The emperor patiently persuaded his daughter Li Yun'er.
After hearing this, Li Yun'er pondered for a while, "Well, I got the tip of the bull's horns! Father, you have to scare that Zhang Liru fiercely later, this woman is talented, but her mind is poisonous!" Li Yun'er pouted and said to the emperor.
"I know, if I were ten years younger, I wouldn't kill her! But now that I'm older and soft-hearted, I always want to see you three brothers and sisters in harmony. The emperor shook his head and said to Li Yun'er.
"Father is not old, just right! With you, the eldest brother and sister-in-law can't stir up!" Li Yun'er said with a smile.
As soon as he said this, Zhang Qiang came in again to announce that the second prince Li Yuanqing had arrived.
"Let him in!" cried the Emperor in a loud voice.
At this time, the sky was already bright, Wei Dong yawned and walked out of the door, starting the day's morning exercise. After going out, I saw that Sima Bin was already standing under the big pine tree, and the ashes of my mother were buried under the pine tree, and it seemed that Uncle Sima missed my mother again.
Wei Dong didn't cultivate first, but walked up to Sima Bin and told him everything about yesterday, including what he overheard under the windowsill. Sima Bin listened as he asked for details in detail, and his face changed color several times.
Wei Dong stared at Sima Bin strangely, and asked curiously, "Uncle Sima, are you a chameleon?
Sima Bin beat Wei Dong angrily and said, "What's the point, you still have the heart to joke with me!"
"Uncle Sima, is 'Auntie' in danger? Then don't worry, 'Auntie' is so powerful, no one has beaten her!" Wei Dong said with some ignorance.
"No one can beat it! What about the 'god'? Can she beat the 'god'?" Sima Bin whispered.
Wei Dong looked at Sima Bin in surprise, his mind full of questions.
"You've grown up, it's time for you to know. Sima Bin said softly, "Do you think that our Dajin Kingdom, as well as the Wa Kingdom in the east, the Qiang Kingdom in the west, the Di Kingdom in the north, and the Barbarian Kingdom in the south, this is the whole world?"
"Isn't it? that's what is written in the history books!" Wei Dong said a little unconvinced.
"There is an artificial forest from north to south on the west side of Beidi and Xiqiang, and there is a huge barrier in the forest that separates our five countries from the west, and we can't go out, and those over there can't come in. Sima Bin began to speak to Wei Dong slowly.
"Where is it to the west, is there a person, is there a country?" Wei Dong asked very curiously.
"It's called the wilderness, it's vast, and it's much bigger than our five nations combined. There are very terrible creatures in it, called fierce beasts, which are not at all something we can fight against. Perhaps only the 'gods' can subdue them. Sima Bin explained to Wei Dong with a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Well, that barrier is there to protect us! it's the 'gods' to protect us. Wei Dong exclaimed with some excitement.
"Yes, it's like a sheepfold!" Sima Bin said with some deflatedness.
"Sheepfold, you mean we are sheep!" Wei Dong looked at Sima Bin in surprise, "You mean that in the eyes of the 'gods', we are sheep!"
"Let me tell you again, Li Yun'er's supernatural abilities are called 'cultivating immortals', and in ancient times, there were many people like Li Yun'er, all over our 'Dongchen Star'. And this kind of person has a unified name: called 'immortal cultivator'. Sima Bin was cautiously telling Wei Dong a secret story, "Later, it seems that the 'gods' came, defeated those 'immortal cultivators' in the land, and led our 'Dongchen Star'.
"Is Dongchen Star the earth under our feet? It turns out that we live on a star!" Wei Dong asked Sima Bin with wide eyes, "Is that 'god' good or bad?"
"If you are obedient, he will give you a bone, and if you are disobedient, he will kill you!
"Uh, that must be bad, and we're not dogs?" Wei Dong said affirmatively.
"The most important thing is that the 'gods' forbid us mortals to 'cultivate immortals', and once discovered, we will kill them!" Sima Bin made a gesture to wipe his neck at Wei Dong.
"What should I do then? What about 'Auntie'?" Wei Dong was really anxious when he heard this.
"Now there is no solution, if I am the emperor, I will slaughter the eldest prince and the princess first, so as to prevent future troubles. But our Imperial Majesty is getting older, the softer his heart becomes! I think the eldest prince is unreliable!" Sima Bin said helplessly.
At this time, the eldest prince Li Jianmin and the imperial concubine Zhang Liru both knelt tremblingly under the emperor and listened to the emperor's reprimand.
The more Emperor Li Shien spoke, the more angry he became, grabbed an incense burner next to him and threw it at the eldest prince Li Jianmin.
Li Jianmin didn't dare to dodge, and a 'bang' hit the door of his head. Blood flowed from his head in an instant, and he kowtowed in fright to admit his mistake.
At this time, the emperor's anger subsided a little, and he asked Li Jianmin to bandage his head.
In the end, Li Jianmin and his wife were asked to think about it behind closed doors for three months, and they were also ordered not to test the medicine without permission in the future. After the couple kowtowed and thanked them, they were escorted back to the mansion by Jin Wuwei.
After the couple left, the emperor told Li Yun'er about cultivating immortals to the second prince Li Yuanqing.
Li Yuanqing looked very frightened and wanted to step forward to persuade his father, but the emperor stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "Don't mention this matter again! You are a good boy, you will take care of Yun'er more in the future." And that Sima Bin! You should send someone to Sima's house tomorrow to propose marriage! Yun'er is tired of being with him all day long, and it can be regarded as a shame to be thrown home. ”
Li Yuanqing grinned and bent down to 'lead the order'!
Li Yun'er, who was over there, blushed with shame, and shouted, "Father!" and rushed out of the main hall.
