Chapter 373: For You (Three Watches)
The courtyard was empty, except for a skeleton hanging in the middle.
Judging from the tattered clothes, it seemed to be a young man, but his flesh had been corroded, and he could hardly see his original appearance.
All over the body, the most serious injury is the face.
It was as if someone had slashed at that face with an axe, and the flesh and blood on that face were so blurry that it was difficult to distinguish even the facial features, let alone recognize who it was.
Underneath the corpse, there was a bronze jar.
The edges of the bronze jar were the color of dried blood.
A heavy, pungent smell of blood, spreading from it!
But that's not the worst of it.
Because on the ground around the corpse, there were several skeletons!
Just one glance at it shows that it is also a human skeleton!
Unlike the hanging corpses, the bones on the ground were all left, and it looked as if they had been dead for a long time.
Such a scene shocked the few people who walked in!
There was a dead silence in the field, and the space seemed to freeze.
I don't know how long it took for Emperor Jiawen to come back to his senses and suddenly shouted:
"Bring the queen to me!"
The Son of Heaven was furious, even Rong Jin, who had protected the queen before, finally couldn't bear it, stiffened his body, and helped the queen over.
The queen's eyes were still closed, as if she had completely fainted.
Emperor Jiawen stared at the skeletons, and the blue tendons on his forehead burst out:
If the queen is still not awake, continue to fight!"
Everyone was shocked.
Emperor Jiawen actually ordered someone to beat the queen?
It's madness.
How could Rong Jin get this hand, and he couldn't watch others do something to his mother, so he hurriedly blocked in front of the queen, knelt down and said:
"Father, the truth of the matter has not yet been clarified, if you treat the queen mother like this, it will hurt the queen mother's heart!"
Emperor Jiawen stepped forward quickly and kicked Rong Jin on the shoulder.
"Get out!"
Rong Jin didn't dare to resist, and was directly kicked aside.
Emperor Jiawen raised his hand and was about to slap the queen in person!
Situ Xingchen was standing next to her, although she didn't want to get involved in it, but at this time, she couldn't help herself.
Seeing that Emperor Jiawen had already picked up the queen with one hand, Situ Xingchen finally spoke:
"Your Majesty thinks twice! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is right, nothing is clear yet, why don't you wait until everything is clarified? When the time comes, if the queen is really guilty, it will not be too late for you to punish it personally. β
Emperor Jiawen paused.
At this moment, the queen who had fainted suddenly woke up.
She slowly opened her eyes and saw Emperor Jiawen's face close in front of her, and a trace of confusion flashed in her eyes.
"Your Majesty..."
Then, as if she had just discovered that she was being held by Emperor Jiawen's collar, her face was full of horror and panic.
"Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?"
Emperor Jiawen sneered and pushed her directly to the ground.
"What good things have you done, don't you know yourself!? You'd better tell me what the hell is going on!"
The queen fell to her knees, only concerned with tears, and kept crying about her ignorance.
"The concubine doesn't know... The concubine really doesn't know..."
Emperor Jiawen looked at Rong Zhen:
"Rong Zhen, you say!"
Rong Zhen took a step back timidly, his lips trembling.
"Your Majesty, there is something strange on this bronze jar. β
Chu Ning walked to the bronze jar and carefully inspected it, his face solemn.
"This thing looks like... The Force that can devour people. β
Hearing this, Chu Liuyue couldn't help but walk over.
As soon as she got closer, she sensed a cold and cold aura oozing from the bronze jar!
The next moment, that aura enveloped her!
"Yue'er, danger!"
Seeing this, Chu Ning immediately wanted to pull Chu Liuyue away.
Chu Liuyue shook his head and motioned for him to wait a moment.
Then, she felt the Force in her body, shrouded in this breath, and began to move!
She looked into the bronze jar.
There was a mixture of black and red, and the aura suddenly became stronger!
Her eyebrows frozeβthis breath was actually trying to forcibly strip her Force from her body!
She didn't hesitate to step back!
After moving away from the bronze jar, the aura quickly dissipated, as if it had never appeared.
However, Chu Liuyue felt a chill in her heart.
- Just now she was just standing next to her, and she was greatly affected, not to mention the person who was hanging directly above the bronze jar?
And!
The man was scarred and bloodstained, and it was clear that he had been cut from many wounds before he was alive - blood dripped from it, and the Force was naturally harvested cleaner!
Chu Liuyue could almost conclude that that person was constantly devouring the Force, and finally died of exhaustion!
No, it's not just that person!
Those white bones around should be the same!
Chu Ning pulled Chu Liuyue and confirmed that she was okay before he breathed a sigh of relief.
"This bronze jar is a great evil thing, you must not come near it again. β
Emperor Jiawen frowned and asked:
"Chu Ning, what did you just say about the bronze cylinder?"
Chu Ning explained.
β... Therefore, this bronze jar should have been deliberately placed here by someone to devour the power of other cultivators. β
"And so it was..."
After hearing this, Emperor Jiawen did not have a look of shock on his face, but seemed to be sure of something.
"I've heard something like this in the secret history of royalty. As long as you collect enough power, this bronze jar can be upgraded to a higher-level primordial weapon. Whoever can become its master will be able to obtain all the power contained in it, and greatly improve his cultivation..."
Emperor Jiawen's words made the people present creepy.
Such a method can be called vicious and ferocious!
"And those who know this... Except for me, there is only the queen!"
Emperor Jiawen's words were like a thunderbolt, and he suddenly cleaved down!
All eyes were on the Queen!
Chu Liuyue's heart suddenly changed.
No wonder as soon as Emperor Jiawen came in and saw the bronze jar, his attitude towards the empress became even worse.
It turned out that at that time, he had already decided that the queen had done all this.
"Si Huijing, I can't imagine that you can do such a thing in secret!
When Emperor Jiawen thought that he had shared a bed with such a woman for several years, he was furious and wanted to vomit in disgust!
The queen's face was dead, and she couldn't say a word of argument.
Rong Jin also panicked, and couldn't help arguing:
"Father, even if the queen mother knows, it can't prove that this is what the queen mother did!
"Yes, the queen mother is already the mother of a country, why is she still not satisfied?"
Rong Jiu suddenly spoke, looking at the mother and son condescendingly, his eyes were obscure.
"She did this, of course, not for herself, but for the sake of the noble crown prince, the imperial brother, you!"
Rong Jin was shocked!
