Chapter 46: After the Fact

The guards of the king of Dongping pulled them up, and before they could stand firmly, Xie Roujia was held in the arms of the king of Dongping county.

"It's okay." He patted her on the back and said.

Xie Roujia breathed heavily, her ears buzzed, and her mind went blank, as if repeating the scene where Zhou Chengzhen let go and fell, but it seemed that there was nothing.

I don't know how long it has been, but the hand on her back has always been patted lightly and unhurriedly, from the initial lack of feeling, gradually feeling the rhythm, feeling the sweat on her clothes, feeling the cold, and her body is finally freed from the forbidden curse.

Maybe it was because she had been stiff for too long, numb and soft and almost unsteady on her feet, she couldn't help but hug the king of Dongping County tightly.

It's okay, it's okay.

Shao Mingqing, who ran over, watched the two hugging each other stop, and swallowed back the sentence Xie Roujia that came to his mouth.

It's okay.

He let out a long breath.

………………………………………………………….

Standing on the edge of the cliff in the bright sky, I still can't see the bottom clearly, and the clouds are still shrouded.

This is the most remote and steep part of the West Mountain, which has always been inaccessible, and this cliff is even more precipitous, and the guards have tried back and forth many times but have not been able to climb down, and the stones thrown down have not echoed for a long time.

"Look no further." King Dongping said, "He can't survive such a deep cliff, not to mention that he was hit by two arrows, of which the back of the heart is fatal." ”

The guards answered the order and summoned the team to close.

"Your Highness."

Xie Roujia and Shao Mingqing walked over from the side.

"What's wrong?" Dongping Junwang said.

"Look at this." Xie Roujia said, taking out two things from her arms and handing them over.

The First Emperor!

"This. He stuffed it for you. King Dongping immediately thought of it.

The First Emperor Ding was taken away from the palace by Zhou Chengzhen, because his body was stiff and unconscious, and he didn't know when he actually stuffed it into her.

"You take it and hand it over..."Xie Roujia said, and before she finished speaking, she couldn't help but exclaim when she saw the king of Dongping raise her hand.

The First Emperor Ding fell into the cliff and disappeared from sight in a blink of an eye.

"What are you doing?" She asked in surprise, "This is the First Emperor Ding, why don't you hand it over to the new Emperor." ”

Even if it wasn't what the emperor wanted, this was something that their father and son and even many people had been scrambling to find for so many years, how could they say that they threw it away?

The king of Dongping looked down the cliff.

"This kind of thing only appears once, and it makes three generations of His Majesty fratricidal. I don't know how much blood has been stained in the past thousand years. It is not evil in itself, but it is impregnated by people's evil thoughts and greed, and it still lets it go out of the world, which spares people's hearts. and that it will not be desecrated. He said.

Let it disappear with Zhou Chengzhen.

Xie Roujia looked at him. I looked at the cliff again. smiled.

"Let's go, then." She said.

When I returned to the capital, the lockdown had been lifted, and the frightened people walked from their homes to the streets. Soon the bells of the temple in Beijing rang, announcing the news of the emperor's great trip, and after two days of banning, the people in Beijing had already guessed, so they were not too alarmed.

The next thing is to announce the evil deeds of the crown prince Zhou Chengzhen, the emperor's funeral and a series of other things, and when these are done, it is already in the first month.

Because of the emperor's new funeral, this year's life in the capital is much more deserted than in the past, but because the new emperor is undecided, the private dark tide is surging.

But none of this has anything to do with Xie Roujia and others.

Xie Wenjun took Mrs. Xie to leave the capital and go back to Pengshui after announcing the emperor's funeral.

Under the arrangement of the five princes, Xuan Zhenzi took his disciples to attend the emperor's funeral, which can be regarded as calming the doubts of the people in Beijing about Qingyunguan and restoring the reputation of Longhu Mountain Taoists.

Xie Roujia took advantage of being held hostage by Zhou Chengzhen to recuperate at home for almost a month, and did not see any visitors.

Anyway, Anding Wangfu has almost no entertainment because the princess is not in good health, and there is nothing strange about everyone.

When the king of Dongping came back, he heard laughter coming from the courtyard.

"The princess of the county and Shao Daochang are playing cards." The two girls laughed.

"Daoist Shao is here?" The king of Dongping asked, nodding his head without waiting for the girls to answer, "It's time to come." ”

Should come? Why?

The girls were puzzled and watched the king of Dongping walk in.

Xie Roujia is throwing down the cards to grab Shao Mingqing's cards.

"You're a fool! Show me! I don't believe you won. She said.

Shao Mingqing sneered.

"You're playing tricks." He said, "Recognize the reality, you are stupid, lose time and time." ”

Xiaoling and the girls on the side covered their mouths with a smile, or Xie Roujia saw the king of Dongping come in first, and everyone was busy.

Shao Mingqing gave a salute.

"Why did you come back so early today?" Xie Roujia asked, taking the tea and holding it to him, with skillful and casual movements.

"The enthronement of the fifth prince is only a few days away." The king of Dongping County said, "This kind of thing should be avoided by the children of the clan. ”

Sure enough, the five princes are the new emperors.

Xie Roujia and Shao Mingqing were not surprised.

The king of Dongping County thought of the words of the five princes in the imperial study.

"Uncle Nineteen, that elixir is really effective." He said, his eyes lit up, "Although I don't know if I can live forever, I feel very strong and energetic these days, and I am not tired at all when I am so busy and staying up late." ”

King Dongping smiled.

"Your Highness, it's a heavy responsibility, the more pressure you have, the better your spirit." He said.

The five princes were a little eager to try.

"Uncle Nineteen, it's better to let the princess refine a few more Dans..."He said.

"Your Majesty, the First Emperor Ding is gone." The king of Dongping County said, "Complement each other and are indispensable." ”

The five princes looked regretful and hateful.

He also sent someone to find the cliff, and it was really laborious to go down to the cliff, not to mention that the First Emperor Ding was not necessarily on Zhou Chengzhen.

"If Your Majesty is interested in pills, it is better to let Xuan Zhenren try it first, after all, he is the authentic Dan family." Dongping County King said.

Gen Zhenzi.

Although it is said that the emperor did not die by taking pills, in the end, it was also because of the opportunity to take pills.

Compared with immortality, it is more important for him to sit firmly in the position of emperor now.

"That's still it, I'm very content with everything at the moment, and I don't want to ask for it for the time being." He laughed.

Now we are content because there is still unfinished business, and when one day everything is under control, people's hearts will be insufficient.

Therefore, the First Emperor Ding must not stay.

Otherwise, Xie Roujia, who used the First Emperor Ding to refine the elixir, would never be able to get rid of it.

Or, Zhou Chengzhen took the First Emperor Ding away and gave it to Xie Roujia at the end, also because of this?

"Oh yes." The fifth prince said, interrupting the distraction of the king of Dongping County, "Xuan Zhenren resigns to leave Beijing and return to Longhu Mountain." ”

Going? It's time to go, once the Son of Heaven and a courtier, originally Xuan Zhenzi has served the Son of Heaven for two generations, and it is not impossible to rely on the new emperor with this accumulated popularity, and then pass on the mantle of the national teacher, but it is a pity that the emperor was poisoned and died, which made the new emperor taboo.

"Your Highness, is there something wrong?"

Xie Roujia's voice said in his ear, and the king of Dongping looked over.

"Did the fifth prince ask about the First Emperor Ding?" Xie Roujia asked, a little worried in her eyes.

At the beginning, it was his father and the king of Zhenbei who took care of the first emperor tripod, but it was lost, and he was suspected by the emperor for so long, and now the first emperor tripod disappeared when he tracked it down, even if it was said that he disappeared with Zhou Chengzhen, the emperor was suspicious, and now the king of Dongping County and himself are still husband and wife.

King Dongping smiled.

"No, the fifth prince didn't ask, he asked about Xuan Zhenzi's whereabouts." He said.

Where does Gen Zhenzi go? Xie Roujia was immediately attracted and left behind the worries of the First Emperor Ding.

"Xuan Zhenren wants to resign and return to Longhu Mountain, and the five princes hesitate to keep him." The king of Dongping County said, looking at Shao Mingqing.

Shao Mingqing coughed lightly.

"Yes, I'm here to say goodbye." He said.

Xie Roujia stared at him.

"So you're not here to play with me?" She gritted her teeth.

Shao Mingqing smiled.

"Isn't that too late to tell?" He said.

"So Xuan Zhenren has made a choice?" Dongping County King said.

Shao Mingqing nodded.

"Master said that if we can get through this catastrophe this time, our Dragon Tiger Mountain can be regarded as resurrecting from the dead, the old glory has reached its peak and is dead, and the new avenue is about to start again, this time it is a broader avenue." He said, "So he wants to go back to Longhu Mountain to concentrate on cultivation and practice in the red dust." ”

"To put it bluntly, I just don't want to serve the emperor anymore." Xie Roujia said, "What about you? Are you going to follow along? ”

"Of course I want to cultivate, I'm a Taoist." Shao Mingqing said with a smile, "No matter what I entered the Tao for, whether I had to do it or seek wealth or wealth, but since I made this choice, I was willing, and I can't count because I was forced to do it." ”
