Volume I: 14 Retribution

When Xiao Yingfu fell asleep peacefully, the group left the Heart Cultivation Palace. The queen stayed to take care of Xiao Yingfu, and Xiao He said goodbye to the queen and hurried back to the house.

Everything is so strange today! Xiao Yingfu, who should have been poisoned and unconscious, actually woke up at this time, but looked energetic, and he was a little more energetic than in the previous two years. Originally, he could ascend the throne as soon as he died, and the queen mother could also be promoted to the queen mother. Now all the plans have come to naught, and Xiao Er'er must be to blame for all this, and what is even more infuriating is the immortal chief in the family! What exclusive secret medicine? What can't be cracked? Now it has become a laughing stock!

"Yanhe Immortal, something happened!"

Xiao Heli returned to the Moon Tower, pushed open the door on the second floor and shouted loudly. This Moon Tower is located in the back garden of the Prince's Mansion, and even the Crown Princess is not allowed to enter without Xiao Heli's permission. Now even if Xiao Heli shouted loudly, he didn't have to worry that anyone would hear him.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince! What's going on? It will take two hours for this seat to refine this furnace of Miaohua Pill? If the prince is not in a hurry, can you wait a little longer? When the golden pill of this seat is released, this seat will go over to greet the prince as soon as possible. ”

"What kind of prince are you, I ...... now."

"Your Majesty! Long live my emperor, long live!" Yan He hurriedly knelt down and bowed, and shouted three times in his mouth, and was pulled up by Xiao Heli before he kowtowed.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is still my father! That old man is still alive, and he is alive better than ever! Now he has woken up, and this is all thanks to your poison! Didn't you say that there is no antidote to poison in the world? How did he not only be unraveled, but also made the old man in better health than before?"

Xiao Heli's eyes were bloodshot, and if there were no eye sockets to block them, he would probably have stared out.

"The prince is angry, the prince is angry. It is true that the medicine of this seat is not a mortal world that can be cured. Unless ......" Yan He hesitated for a while, but when he saw Xiao Heli's murderous gaze, he hurriedly said, "Unless the other party gives His Majesty the Immortal Family Pill." For this poison that ordinary people can't cure, the immortal family still has some methods. It's just that the cultivation realm is not allowed to intervene in the change of mortal dynasties, and if he does something royal about it, it will be a violation of the taboo in the cultivation realm. At that time, this seat should convene the world's Taoist friends to crusade together, and the prince of Wanwang will be angry. Although Yan He's tone was cautious, the implication of his words made Xiao Heli very useful. In this way, no matter who the forces behind Xiao Yingfu were, it would be untenable for them to use the medicine of the cultivation realm to help Xiao Yingfu.

"Your Highness, I will accompany Your Highness into the palace tomorrow to investigate the condition......" Before Yan He finished speaking, there was a muffled sound from the Dan furnace behind him. A puff of green smoke slowly rose from the Dan furnace.

"Let's go now. Yan He frowned and shook his head, and said helplessly.

After a while, the two came to the Heart Cultivation Palace.

Yan He imprisoned the people around him, and then walked to Xiao Yingfu's side in the dormitory. After injecting spiritual power into it, his face gradually showed a strange color.

"Your Highness, I just used my spiritual power to probe and did not find that there are elixir ingredients in Your Majesty's body. Could it be that the other party is not a cultivator? Could it be that there is something wrong with the development of my poison?"

Yan He withdrew his spiritual power and walked back and forth in front of the dragon couch, always puzzled.

His own Soul Breaking Pill of Bliss itself is a mortal herb used, although it has been a little longer, it will eventually belong to the world. At first, it will be pleasant to take it, but if the toxicity invades the bone marrow over time, it will be a dead end. If this Xiao Yingfu hadn't been an emperor, I'm afraid he would have died a long time ago. This is also thanks to the use of countless precious medicinal materials by the imperial doctor in the palace, which helped him to save his breath and barely hold on to today.

But now, Xiao Yingfu's breath is smooth, where is there still the appearance of a dying wood? Even if he lives for another fifty or sixty years, it will not be surprising.

Yan He said goodbye to Xiao Heli, and paced back alone in the night breeze while thinking. The palace guards saw that he had a gold medal from the Prince's Mansion hanging on his waist, and he had just accompanied the prince into the palace, so they did not stop the interrogation.

Out of the noon gate, Yan He walked slowly along the palace wall towards the Prince's Mansion, he couldn't understand why Xiao Yingfu, who was obviously going to die, suddenly recovered?

I think that Yan He poisoned more than a dozen villages, and then he was convinced that his medicine could kill people invisibly. Now that he has been cracked so easily, how can he not feel discouraged?

"Where are you going?"

A voice sounded, and Yan He originally let go of his divine sense to pay attention to his surroundings, but when he heard this, he suddenly changed color.

"Who is it?"

An extra whisk of dust appeared in Yan He's palm, and the spiritual light on his body suddenly appeared. Although he couldn't be sure where the other party was, his first reaction to stimulate the aura of the body protector was also the most normal performance of a monk.

A black-robed masked man slowly walked out of the darkness on the opposite side, with no blade in his hand and no spiritual power fluctuations on his body.

"Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"

The black-robed man obviously didn't want to answer, but walked in slowly, touching Yan He's tense nerves with every step.

"One step further, you're welcome. Yan He saw that the other party was still five feet away, so he shouted.

But the black-robed man didn't pay attention to it, and still walked towards Yan He step by step.

"Puff puff!"

Three spiritual energy fire bombs shot out from the dust of Yan He, shooting at the head and chest of the black-robed man and the dantian respectively. It was only before this fire bomb could reach the figure of the black-robed man that disappeared on the spot, and the three fire bombs flew out and turned around and flew in the direction of Yan He.

Yan He's fire bomb was activated before he used his divine sense to lock on to the target, although the black-robed man disappeared, but unless the fire bomb burned out, it would not disappear without hitting the target.

Now that the fire bomb suddenly turned around, Yan He immediately took a step forward and turned over and jumped away.

No matter what magic method the opponent uses, since the fire bomb turns around and flies, it is designated that the opponent's position has changed. Yan He dodged his original position at this time, just to avoid being attacked from behind.

Three fire bombs flew under him, and as soon as Yan He landed, he heard three explosions behind him. When I looked back, I saw a black scarf and a masked face in front of me. Behind him, a flame burned out of thin air, and it was the blue spiritual fire contained in his own fire bomb.

"You are also a Qi cultivation period cultivator, I don't know what to call you, what kind of situation has your cultivation reached now?"

Yan He put away the momentum just now and smiled awkwardly. If you are a bystander, it is estimated that you can only describe his current expression with a smile on his face.

"My cultivators don't need to know. I just want to ask, Daoist friends are also cultivators, why do they want to meddle in the affairs of the ordinary court? Do Daoists want to break the rules?"

The black-robed man didn't make a move, but his voice gave people a cold feeling. It's not so much that the other party is asking, but rather that it's questioning. Although Yan He felt uncomfortable, he knew that he was not the opponent of the other party, if he said that most of his cultivation energy was spent on alchemy refiners, then it was estimated that it would be okay to bully some newcomers in the early stage of Qi cultivation by bullying his colleagues. If you encounter a sword cultivation in the middle stage of qi training, especially if you are good at martial arts, then let alone winning, it is reluctant to retreat with your whole body.

"That's what Daoyou said. I know the rules, so I don't dare to use elixir to harm people. Previously, the prince found it below, and all he got were some mundane pills. It's not a break in the rules. Yan He threw the main house directly, and then he had a flash of inspiration and immediately understood the reason. So he said: "Yan has eyes but no beads, I don't know that there is such a capable person as Daoyou behind Your Majesty, and I was lost for a while, and I hope that Daoyou will atone for his sins." This is a little bit of heart, and I hope that Taoist friends will forgive. ”

Yan He took out five medium-grade spirit stones and offered them with both hands. This is all he has accumulated over the past 30 years, and it is a pity to give it away, but if he can buy his life, these expenses are worth it.

"What a big deal, Daoist friend thinks that five medium-grade spirit stones are worth one of Daoyou's lives?

The black-robed man did not accept the spirit stone, and as soon as the words came out, Yan He was so frightened that he almost collapsed.

"Fellow Daoists, forgive me! Although the little one is a late stage of Qi cultivation, he has failed to take refuge in the sect in the past few years, and he can't see that he can't build the Ji Dan, so this body cultivation will stop. thought that he could survive for more than a hundred years, so he sought some wealth in this mortal world. I really don't know that I have offended the forces protected by Daoyou!"

Yan He prayed again and again, and now he regrets pursuing this wealth. If he had the opportunity, he would rather go to the mountains to live in seclusion, at least to ensure peace for a hundred years.

"Come with me. ”

The black-robed man's fingertips condensed a little spiritual power, tapped twice at the meridian acupuncture points on Yan He's body, turned around and walked towards the side of the alley. Yan He knew that the spiritual power of his body was sealed, and it was not possible to break through it for a while. So he picked up the spirit stone that fell on the ground and hurriedly followed.

After a short time, the two came to a lake.

The black-robed man waved his hand to conjure up a flying boat, and the two of them stood still on the deck, and the flying boat slowly rose in a cloud of mist, and did not stop until it was seven or eight hundred feet above the ground.

"Tell me everything you know, and I'll let you go back if I'm satisfied. ”

The black-robed man sat on the deck, waving an extra coffee table. He took a cup of hot tea and took a sip slowly, staring at Yan He with a pair of eyes.

The two of them were suspended in the clouds in the night sky, but there was a different scene in the Yecheng Palace at this time.

Although Xiao Yingfu, the emperor of Beiji, closed his eyes and rested, he could not sleep. It seems that I have been lying down for too long and should go out for a walk. It's just that it's getting dark, and it's inevitable to go out a little weird at this time. In order not to disturb the queen, he had to lie quietly with his eyes closed. Then someone came in, and heard the palace people whispering to the prince, Xiao Yingfu knew that his son was coming.

It's just that with a burst of red light in his eyes, Xiao Yingfu didn't know anything. When he regained consciousness, he hurriedly got up to check. Where is there still a prince in this dormitory? In addition to the palace people who are keeping vigil, there is only the figure of the queen lying on the dragon bed.

In the night wind, Xiao Yingfu sat on the edge of the bed, puzzled by what had just happened. While thinking about it, a yellow robe was draped over his body. When Xiao Yingfu turned his head to look, he was the queen.

"You've only taken care of me these days, go and rest. I remembered to sit down for a moment. Maybe I miss the prince too much, right? Just now I vaguely felt that the prince was coming. ”

Xiao Yingfu gently patted the queen's plain hand, turned his head and looked back at the night outside the window.

"Your Majesty misses the prince again, so it's better to let him succeed to the throne as soon as possible, and we will also learn from the folk couples to return to the countryside. ”

When Xiao Yingfu heard what the queen said, he held her hand with emotion, and his heart fluctuated.

After decades of court life, he already had a sense of a serious illness. If you can take the queen and a few concubines to the countryside, and watch your son inherit the throne and become a virtuous monarch, it should also be considered a kind of enjoyment.

Xiao Yingfu sighed as he got up and wanted to send the queen back to the dragon bed. At this moment, the sound of a woman crying was faintly heard in the dark night. Listening carefully, Xiao Yingfu and the queen couldn't discern the direction from which the voice came.

"Boom...... Boom...... It's been more than a decade and I still haven't found my head...... Boom...... Boom...... The Queen Mother loves me the most, how can I see the Queen Mother without a head...... Boom...... Boom"

When Xiao Yingfu and the queen heard this, their faces changed greatly, and they hurriedly summoned the palace people to come into the dormitory. But no one heard anyone crying, and the guards on duty searched the palace all night, but they never found anything unusual.

But Xiao Yingfu and the queen still heard the sound of a woman crying, and when a group of palace maids and eunuchs were close to them, this voice was still crying.

For a while, the entire palace fell into a strange atmosphere. The old story of more than ten years ago has been spread privately.

More than ten years ago, the Queen Mother died. More than 5,000 people in the palace died. It is said that at that time, only four of the emperor and queen and the crown prince and princess survived. The entire palace was filled with corpses, and the current palace maids and eunuchs were all added later.

It is rumored that there were eunuchs who colluded with the guards to rebel at that time, but it was the queen's mother who did not disclose their identities, so that all the people in the palace could be buried with dignity.

Now the emperor and queen have heard someone crying, could it be that the palace lady who was less restrained that day, is this coming back to cry out for injustice?

Xiao Yingfu and the queen were in a panic all day, but somewhere in the palace, there was a green-shirted woman who was losing her temper.

"What kind of bullshit story? The head is gone, how do you make this palace maid cry? Make up nonsense and don't make drafts! This girl almost didn't laugh out loud a few times. Transmission of sound into the secret has made you such a scourge, it is estimated that it is the first time that the world has been opened. ”

It was Qin Xi, who had lived in seclusion on the island for ten years, who spoke. At this time, she was holding a wooden figure that was less than a foot long, and kept cursing.

It's just that this swearing obviously has no effect, because Xiao Yi is listening to Yan He's brainless narration on the flying boat.

This is also a strange person. When he was a child, he was a small person in the market, and he learned a little yellow and white art from the elders in his family, although he couldn't be rich and expensive, but there were still a few big families who were willing to find him for alchemy.

Later, Yan He got a strange book, and he really learned some methods after coming and going. Decades have passed, and he has really become a mid-stage Qi cultivation cultivator. Seeing that he was getting older and older, and was about to become a casual cultivator in the late stage of Qi cultivation, Yan He was thinking about finding a sect to successfully build a foundation, and then let his cultivation go further, but as a result, his qualifications were not looked down upon at all.

In the end, there is no shortage of benefits, but I really don't catch it at all. In the end, he ran to Yecheng for two years, and finally got the prince's appreciation. For more than a year, he provided poison to the prince and refused to break the rules of the cultivation realm, but he never expected that today would make Xiao Yi ruined.

"Tell me about your fire spirit bullet, how can you chase after me?"

Xiao Yi casually gave birth to a spiritual power fire bomb and looked left and right. Seeing this, Yan He hurriedly took out a piece of jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Xiao Yi with both hands.

"Sir, this is an exercise I have acquired. Because of my limited ability, I didn't get the essentials for decades, and I couldn't show it in my casual practice. In a hurry, take it out to save your life, say a big disrespectful word, today you broke it with one move, and you are a master at a glance. Mr. Xiaojing, this is what I should do, who made you spare your little life?"

When Yan He saw Xiao Yi take the jade slip, he was overjoyed in his heart, and said casually. saw that Xiao Yi was immersed in the jade slip, and he didn't mean to pay attention to him at all. After a long time, Xiao Yi slowly opened his eyes, took out a piece of yellow paper from the storage bag and floated it in front of Yan He's eyes.

"If you want to live, you can sign it. Otherwise, it would not be too much to die for all these things you have done. Xiao Yat said in a calm tone, but it sounded like a thunderbolt from the sky to Yan He.

"Oath Scroll!" Yan He trembled and caught the yellow paper, the words on which were shocking.

"It's just that in the future, if you do a good job, it will definitely be much better than your current life. Tsukidan or anything will not be short of you in the future. ”

Yan He signed his name when he heard this, and tears filled his eyes. He doesn't know whether he will be happy or sad in the future, and he doesn't know if he will be more relieved to die now. This name fell on the oath scroll, and he could only obey Xiao Yi's orders for the rest of his life. There was no more freedom, but he survived......

Watching the yellow paper dissipate between heaven and earth, Xiao Yi nodded with satisfaction. With a wave of his hand, the boat slowly flew towards the north.

Seven days later, Xiao Yingfu and the queen died together, and before he died, he kept chanting the names of his eldest brother and the former emperor. The palace people who had seen the tragic situation of the two were frightened by their miserable death and couldn't eat for a few days, not so much that they died of illness, but that they were exhausted and exhausted.

Seven days and seven nights of sleepless confession, how many imperial doctors are helpless. Until the last moment, I was wrong.

The crown prince has not come to visit the palace in the past few days, and now that the emperor has died, he should be the crown prince, and if nothing else, he should succeed to the throne. It's just that the eunuch who went to the prince's mansion not only didn't invite the person in charge, but also brought back a shocking news. The prince also returned to heaven in the back garden.

For a time, the government and the opposition were in turmoil, thanks to the collective election of Xiao Hexin by several important ministers led by Shangguan to inherit the throne, which kept the peace of the Beiji government and the opposition.

The new emperor ascended the throne, and three days later there was a secret room in the palace.

"I arranged to take care of it on the island. Even if we're not there, we shouldn't be abandoned. When you want to go back, just report your name. ”

"Where do you think this is? This is royal, and it's the mundane realm. It's a bad rule to meddle like that. ”

The green-shirted woman was nibbling on a leg of mutton while glaring at Xiao Yi.

"Cultivators don't meddle in mortal things, but if they meddle in their own family's affairs, they shouldn't make trouble, right?"

Qin Xi glanced at Xiao Yi, lowered his head and continued to nibble on the leg of mutton, and muttered in his mouth: "People are royalty, how can it become your family's business?

Xiao Yi straightened the portrait and looked at it carefully for a long time, then turned around and pointed behind him with a smiling expression and asked, "Do you look like it?" I said that I am the former prince Xiao Heyi, do you think I am a family matter?
