Chapter 18: Temporary Tranquility

"Queen Mother!"

Zhengde woke up from his nightmare, waved his hands behind his back, and screamed in horror.

"I'm here. Don't be nervous, I'm here! My baby! A warm embrace gently hugged Zhengde, so that Zhengde's emotions quickly calmed down.

He raised his head and looked at Empress Dowager Zhang in surprise: "Queen Mother, you, you're not dead?" ”

"No, thanks to Di Renjie, the queen mother finally got rid of the control of the wicked. It's like a nightmare that you will never wake up to. I knew exactly what was going on, but I couldn't change anything. Good thing I've gotten rid of it now. Child, I hurt you, are you feeling okay? Empress Dowager Zhang hugged Zhengde with tears in her eyes, and said while crying.

Zhengde touched his lower abdomen with a blank face, there was still a wound there, but it had already scarred. There are still some painful sensations, but they are no longer serious, after two breaths, the burning sensation is gone, and now he has no other problems except for some fatigue.

"I, I'm fine!" Zhengde shook his head and reacted: "Queen Mother, you, weren't you poisoned by Di Renjie?" ”

Empress Dowager Zhang shook her head solemnly: "That was a plan set up by Di Renjie to let me fake my death and deceive the person who secretly controlled me." I don't know the specifics, Li Xiang may understand better! ”

"Then I misunderstood my eldest brother?" Zhengde was dumbfounded: "But, but why did the eldest brother lie to me after the villain died?" ”

"That's what he did to inspire your fighting spirit. Haven't you noticed that you've awakened a new war spirit? It's not a heritage war spirit, but a war spirit that truly belongs to you! Empress Dowager Zhang said.

Although Zhengde's strength is very scummy, he still understands the basic method of inward vision, and he immediately looks inward, and finds that his originally broken dantian has been completely repaired, and an active war spirit seed is sleeping in his dantian. This is the inevitable reaction of the war soul after it has just awakened, as long as he cultivates hard, he will soon be able to completely awaken the war spirit, which truly belongs to him.

"Big brother is for me? Me, what the hell did I do? I scolded Big Brother! Zhengde slapped himself hard: "Queen Mother, where is the eldest brother?" I'm going to apologize to him! ”

Empress Dowager Zhang was obviously very satisfied with her son's reaction. In her opinion, both their mother and son were greatly favored by Tang Dou, and if her son was indifferent to Tang Dou for the sake of the so-called emperor's face, she would be angry.

"Di Renjie has already left after sending you over. I don't know the specifics, but I only woke up a little earlier than you. Li Xiang is outside, you can call him to ask! Empress Dowager Zhang said.

Zhengde nodded, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Li Xiang, Li Xiang!" I'm awake, I'm awake, you come in! ”

Li Wei heard Zhengde's voice outside, and he also breathed a long sigh of relief, and hurriedly went in: "Your Majesty, you have finally woken up!" ”

Zhengde stopped Li Wei's action of saluting himself: "No need to be polite. Li Xiang, where is my eldest brother? What's going on? Tell me quickly! ”

Li Wei knew that Zhengde was going to ask these things as soon as he woke up, so he was prepared and explained: "Things have actually begun to be laid out from the time we saw the fake. Later, in Cining Palace, after we discovered the abnormality of the Queen Mother, Di Renjie secretly told us that the Queen Mother might have been controlled. But in fact, Marshal Sun and I don't know too much about the details, everything is operated by Di Renjie. In fact, when Di Renjie explained everything to His Majesty before, Marshal Sun and I just instinctively believed in him and cooperated with his action layout. If it weren't for his explanation, we would only be half-aware. ”

"But we know the medicine that the Queen Mother takes, it is a kind of fake death medicine, and it is specifically for people with elven blood, the purer the bloodline, the better the effect." Li Wei smiled bitterly: "But I always thought that the fake death pill was actually a real poison." However, because of some particularities of the elf race, after being poisoned by this drug, after taking the antidote within a certain period of time, you can come back to life. Di Renjie also explained to us the characteristics of this medicine later, which really scared us, but fortunately everything went well! ”

"The person who controls the Queen Mother has not yet been found. We estimate that it is a very special kind of war spirit, which can invade the body of others with its own soul, so as to achieve the purpose of control, but once the target dies, then that person should also die. It's just that this is just our speculation, so we can't completely let our guard down yet. However, Di Renjie has one inference that I agree with, that is, it is impossible for people who have no spiritual flaws to be invaded. The more determined you are, the less likely you are to be invaded! ”

"Well, it's all my fault. It's because I'm not determined enough that I'm getting into so much trouble! Empress Dowager Zhang sighed reproachfully.

"No, no, how can it be the mother's fault. It's the sons who are at fault! "I am holding my mother's hand, and only if I lose it once, will I know the importance of family affection and family in my heart. Zhengde held his mother's hand tightly, for fear that his mother would disappear as soon as he let go.

Li Wei also agreed with Zhengde's words: "Weichen also thinks that the Queen Mother can't be blamed for this, and Di Renjie is right." Since His Majesty will awaken the true war spirit of his own, it means that we may have really been wrong back then. We need to ask the ancestor about this matter, but unfortunately we can't contact the ancestor now. ”

"By the way, what about the Inheritance Artifact?" Zhengde asked.

"This!" Li Wei said with a strange face: "I don't know why, the inheritance artifact follows Di Renjie, no matter where he goes, the inheritance artifact will follow, and others can't touch it at all." So I let him take it with me for the time being. As for the inheritance of the war spirit, it seems to be integrated with the inheritance artifact! ”

"Inheritance artifact follows big brother?" Zhengde also looked weird, and then laughed: "Follow it, just follow it, anyway, I think the eldest brother is right, what I need for my Tianwu inheritance is not a inheritance artifact, but a humerus minister like Li Xiang, the marshal, what I need is for me to work hard, and what I need is the positivity of thousands of subjects." If there is no artifact, there will be no more, and it just so happens that the eldest brother especially likes to collect things like heaven and earth treasures. Just give it to the big brother! ”

Zhengde can see it. After all, because of this inheritance artifact, he almost lost his mother and lost his life, plus his character was already free and easy, so he didn't care about any inheritance artifact at all, so he naturally didn't feel anything.

Li Wei is considered an enlightened prime minister, and he is also a personal disciple of the old ancestor Xue, after listening to Tang Dou's analysis, he recalled some of the words that Xue had said when he taught himself back then, and also felt that it was a mistake for those Tianwu ministers to strip the inheritance artifact from the Yunqin Emperor.

But it was easy for him to give up and pass on the artifact, but it was difficult for him to agree to give the artifact to Tang Dou.

Even if this artifact is not used in the future, it is also a national heirloom left by the ancestors and ancestors, Li Wei is not as a loser as Zhengde, give this thing away, and there are so many antique ministers, they must know that Zhengde has given away the inheritance artifact, and all the death is absolute!

"Your Majesty, this ......" Li Weigang wanted to persuade, but was interrupted by Zhengde.

"Li Xiang, don't talk about this, tell me where my eldest brother is, I want to apologize to him. I misunderstood him! He's not here now, he must be mad at me. I have to apologize to him! Zhengde woke up for a while, and now he has regained some strength and stood up.

"Your Majesty, Di Renjie is meeting with the ambassadors of the HRE Kingdom!" He hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Originally, he had already retired from the courtyard we arranged for him, and the sand girl had also left the hospital, and now all of them have moved to the post station of the envoy of the HRE Kingdom!" ”

Zhengde was packing his clothes and preparing to go out when he stopped, and looked at Li Wei in a daze: "How many days have I been in a coma?" ”

"Three days!" Li Wei stretched out three fingers.

"Oh my God, big brother must be angry with me. Is he going to ignore me in the future? No, no. I want to see Big Brother right away! Li Xiang, you quickly arrange for me, I want to see my eldest brother, now, immediately! Zhengde estimated that it was the first time in his life that he gave such a serious order as an emperor, but unfortunately the content of the order made people unable to complain.

When Li Wei saw Zhengde's appearance, he knew that he couldn't stop him. Regardless of whether Zhengde has awakened the spirit of war, whether he has awakened to the responsibility of being an emperor or not, but his nature is difficult to change, this wonderful emperor's temperament has come up, and the possibility of sneaking out of the palace by himself is absolute. Rather than letting this self slip out and cause big trouble, it is better to cooperate with him.

"Wechen will arrange it immediately!" Li Wei nodded and went out to make arrangements.

"Queen Mother, have I told you about my eldest brother? I'll tell you! Zhengde quickly said the grievances between Tang Dou and the Sun family: "Queen Mother, what do you think I should do?" I want to do my best to help my eldest brother, and I don't think there's anything wrong with what my eldest brother did. Is it so difficult to get a child to recognize his father? Family honors, traditions, are stubborn and useless. Although the Sun family is loyal, I don't like their style very much, I must change them! ”

Seeing that her son wanted to do something so seriously for the first time, and this matter was also related to his benefactor Tang Dou, Empress Dowager Zhang naturally did not object, but still reminded: "Son, you have to understand the status of the Sun family in Tianwu, everything can't be rushed, and it is most appropriate to use gentle means." Don't shake the foundation of Tianwu, otherwise your resistance will be even greater. You have to remember that it is the principle of heaven to let that child recognize his father, but if you shake the foundation of Tianwu because of this, then the person who stops it will be the entire Tianwu Dynasty. There is no affection above the court, you have to understand this truth! ”

"I understand. But as I said, I want to be not only a successful emperor, but also a humane emperor. I don't believe it, ruthlessness is the true son of heaven! Zhengde's immature face showed a mature and resolute light.

At that moment, Empress Dowager Zhang was stunned.

This look looks like the first emperor.

"Son, you've grown up!" Empress Dowager Zhang smiled with relief.

…………

In the inn.

Four men were drinking, glass after glass. A few women sit on one side and eat the dishes, one plate after the otherβ€”or rather, two women, one panda, one big and one small. The elf beauties are always so elegant.

"Xiao Di, what did you do to Emperor Tianwu? Before, you were still walking with a knife in front of the emperor, why are you a civilian again? My brother was in a bad mood when he saw you for the first two days, so he didn't ask you. Now it looks good, can't you talk about it? Liu Qiyue put down the wine glass in his hand and asked.

"That's why I deliberately kept a straight face two days ago. I didn't expect you to gossip after a little relaxation today! Brother Liu, can you stop gossiping so much? Tang Dou rolled his eyes angrily.

"Huh? Did you pretend it two days ago? Liu Qiyue said in shock.

"Nonsense, the other three brothers can all see it, but you don't see it! Should I say you have a big heart, or do I say you have bad eyes? Tang Douwei laughed.

Liu Qiyue looked at the other three, and when he saw that the three of them couldn't help but nod their heads, he shouted angrily: "You still say that you are brothers, and you actually join forces to lie to me together!" It's so unbelievable! ”

"Qi Yue, Xiao Di's matter must be related to some secrets of the Tianwu Imperial Family, how do you ask him to answer? Don't forget that Xiao Di himself has no camp, but we are from the HRE country. There are secrets he can know, but we can't. Xiao Di didn't avoid us, it was friendship. But if you ask too much, you're crossing the line! Yi Youlian began to preach again.

However, this time, Mu Shaobai and Diego both nodded in agreement.

Liu Qiyue actually didn't have any malicious intent, he just didn't think of it so much for a while, and he just cared about Tang Dou. After hearing Yi Youlian's words, he immediately understood, cast an apologetic look at Tang Dou, and then raised his wine glass: "Okay, it's my brother's fault." Punish yourself with three cups! ”

"Don't, how can you punish yourself for drinking? It should make you can't drink for three rounds! Tang Dou slapped Liu Qiyue's hand and said with a wicked smile.

"It's extreme, it's extreme!" Mu Shaobai laughed and coaxed.

"You don't want to be so cruel, right?" Liu Qiyue screamed.

Sha Yunyue looked at Tang Dou and his party with a smile on the side, she knew that Tang Dou was really relaxed at this time. Although Tang Dou has a good relationship with Zhengde, in Tianwu, he only has a good relationship with Zhengde. Although Li Wei and Sun Nansong are good people, they are even more qualified ministers of Tianwu, and they have already fought several times with Tang Dou, if it weren't for Tang Dou's good methods, I am afraid that they would have been wiped out by Li Wei and them at this time.

In Tianwu, Tang Dou was very tired.

At this time, there is no intrigue, only laughter and slapstick between friends.

Sha Yunyue could feel that Tang Dou was laughing from the bottom of his heart at this time.

"Sister Sha, what's wrong with you?" Chihuo ate it and gave control of her body to the soft girl with satisfaction. The soft girl rinsed her mouth hard and removed the smell of meat, and asked Sha Yunyue curiously.

"It's nothing, I just think it's too little time like this. I really don't know when we will be able to live such a simple life together forever! Sha Yunyue said.

The soft girl's eyes also showed a look of yearning.

"Big brother, big brother! Where are you? A babbling voice broke the atmosphere. (To be continued.) )
