Li Yu was immersed in the bath pool, and his mood was gloomy. He has no relatives in Dijun, and only one of them can help him, and his only role is to shrink in the dragon seat of Jianleng Nuoda every day and be Nangong Ming's puppet. He understands that everything in the past cannot be returned, and Uncle Wang's long-cherished wish to revive the dynasty is too high for him, and he can't even protect himself. At this moment, he misses Ni'er and Xuanming who are far away in Chunyue, he regrets that he insists on leaving Chunyue, and he can't escape Nangong Ming's palm, but at least he can still rely on Ni'er and them there, and he can stay away from this gloomy and annoying person.

Li Yu thought so, but his hands couldn't help scratching his body, looking down at the water, originally his body had recovered from the last injury without a trace, and it was much tighter, but in the past two days, it has become more and more obvious to give birth to a lot of red spots, scratching is useless, it is useless to soak in the water, only to feel a burst of stinging itching.

He scratched so hard that he became more and more anxious, and finally he couldn't help but shout: "Come on!

Several maids came up to wipe and change his clothes, invited him to sit on the couch, and brought him plasters to apply the red spots on his body. The plaster exuded an indescribable fragrance, it was given to him by the Dark, asking him to apply more on weekdays, he didn't feel anything except pungent before, but today it was extremely painful to apply, he couldn't help but suck in the cool air, and raised his hand to open the maid's hand.

"Let me do it. A clear voice said. One of the maids stepped forward, took the plaster, and squatted down in front of Li Yu. When she raised her hand over, Li Yu still subconsciously blocked it, but the other party only insisted softly, and he got out of the way.

The maid's hand was extremely soft and delicate, and she blew gently while applying it, although it was still painful, but the fingers that touched the skin were a little cool, and with the same cool breath, Li Yu accepted it.

Only then did he notice the delicate and beautiful face of the maid in front of him who was different from the others, and when he looked closely, it turned out that the maid in the white gauze skirt was actually the county lord of the Ice Land that day, Bei Mingling.

Li Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "You are the county lord of Bingyi, you shouldn't do these things." ”

"Nothing undesirable. When I was in Snow Country, I used grease to smear the wounds of frostbitten chapped snow people, and they said I was the most effective. What's more, my emperor has shown mercy to my people when they are in danger, and my father and I should repay it, and since I have promised, I will not be a county lord but a servant girl at this moment, and I will serve my emperor wholeheartedly. The girl in front of her spoke naturally and frankly.

Li Yu listened, pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Actually, you don't have to, you should know that it is not me who is in charge of state affairs now." ”

"I only know that the Imperial Family of the Nine Lands is the Li family, and my emperor adheres to the mandate of heaven, and is the supreme of the Nine Lands today, the guardian of the people of the Nine Lands. ”

Li Yu couldn't help laughing again, "Don't you know that you and I are the same, but in fact we are just protons?"

Bei Mingling raised his face to look at him, and still said indifferently, "For me, this is not important. I'm here to do my best, and I know that the snowfolk can be saved, so that's it. My emperor must also have personnel to work hard for, as long as I think about them and do what they can do, I have no regrets. ”

What can we do for them? Li Yu couldn't help but be silent and think about this question when he heard this. Thinking about it, Bei Yingling in front of him stretched out his hands and hugged him, "Okay, I'll help my emperor to rest." ”

He stood up with her, beside him a pleasant fragrance, and he looked sideways at her, the girl beside him should be older than him, and her slender figure stood half a head taller than him.

The next day, however, he was awakened from his sleep by a stinging pain and was amazed.

Some of the red spots on the original body showed scars like wounds, some of which were faintly visible, and some of them were like festering sores, wrinkled and pus.

Li Yu was at a loss, only to feel more pain, and in a panic, a man with round cheeks walked in.

He stepped forward head-on, bowed to Li Yu with a smile as usual, and said, "My emperor, today the Ministry of Rites accompanied the emperor to rehearse the canonization ceremony, and Huang Yong came to respectfully ask my emperor to move to the imperial platform." ”

"Huang Ji, what's wrong with me, call someone to take a look!"

Huang Yu straightened up and looked at it, and said with a smile: "My Emperor, it's okay, this is the recurrence of my Emperor's old injury, later, it will be good to bubble in the medicine pool again." Huang Ji has always reminded my emperor to soak in the medicine pool regularly, but my emperor is always reluctant to ......"

"Isn't there any other way? Every time I soak in that fishy pool of green pulp, it really makes me creepy and disgusting! And every time I use it, I feel drowsy and sleepy, like I have lost my soul......" Li Yu finally knew the effect of the pool, but he still resisted it very much.

Huang Yong shook his head and said, "The previous time my emperor's injury was too serious, and Huang Yong searched for the Nine Lands Healer Warlock to obtain this method. This method really has the effect of returning to heaven, otherwise how can you get better so quickly and thoroughly, Emperor Wu. However, once this method is used, after the injury is healed, it is still necessary to continue to soak the medicine, otherwise it is very easy to recur. In addition, there is no better prescription, and my emperor still has to focus on his body. ”

"Well, I really didn't want to use that thing anymore...... So...... So let's take me to medicine. Li Yu hesitated and replied with a look of annoyance.

Huang Yong still said respectfully: "My emperor, the canon is imminent, or ask my emperor to go to the imperial platform with Huang Yong first, and we will use medicine again after we come back." ”

"Who is this enshrinement?" Li Yu asked indifferently and angrily. He had actually been told a long time ago, and he just wanted to resist.

He smiled and said, "My emperor knows that the canonization is the current commander of the country and the prime minister, Lord Nangong. ”

"Even if you are the commander and the prime minister, he has the final say on everything, what else do I have to canonize? Do you want to give him this throne too? Okay, okay, just give it to him, so that I will have no more trouble!" Li Yu raised his voice and said depressedly.

"No, no," Di Ji immediately lowered his voice and dissuaded, "My emperor doesn't dare to talk nonsense, be careful that the wall has ears." This canonization, our emperor should have known in advance, and canonized Lord Nangong as the 'father' of my emperor. ”

Li Yu stood up suddenly, his still childish face was full of irrepressible anger, he had grown up, but at this moment, his torso, which was covered with red spots and scars, couldn't help but tremble, his chest rose and fell rapidly, and he gritted his teeth and burst out words word by word: "'Father Shang'? He is an auxiliary minister, treacherously harming our clan and the Yushu royal family, taking advantage of the fisherman, and using me as a puppet to control the government, and now he wants to worship him as his father, is he crazy? You said that you are okay to assist your father and the emperor, and to assist me, but you are still helping him like this, have you become a gang with him?"

"My Emperor," said Huang Yong, with a serious tone, and comforted, "how can Huang Huang not think about my emperor." My emperor has gradually grown up, his blood is strong, and the ministers understand my emperor's feelings. It's just that the situation is forced to inevitably compromise and seek perfection, and please forbear with my emperor. ”

"Since I was a child, the emperor and the queen mother have told me that I am the heir of the true dragon and the descendant of the Li clan of the Heavenly Mandate Monarch. Now I am told to recognize the thief as my father, although I am still young, but I also know how to be honest, if I do such a thing, how can I be worthy of the ancestors, worthy of the emperor and the queen mother who died in vain!" The young Li Yu only shouted angrily, but his voice trembled.

"My emperor," Huang Yong still lowered his hand and whispered, but his tone became a little gloomy, "The first emperor endured all his life, and he always thought about the Zhongxing Dynasty in his heart. ”

"My father endured all his life, and in the end he didn't end up ruining his family, so why bear it! I will never open my mouth to worship him as my father, and neither can 'Shang Father', if I want to die because of this, let me die!" the young Li Yu shouted, and tears finally slipped out of his tearful eyes. He felt strongly the anger burning in his heart under the long-suppressed and fearful feelings, which was only like a flame in his heart in the past ignorance, but now, perhaps as he grew older and experienced many things that his peers could not imagine, he became more and more aware of his miserable situation, and this anger burned him even more uncomfortably.

The corners of his mouth still pulled a smile, and he said slowly and quietly: "My emperor and the former emperor are really more and more similar in some places, and the former emperor just refused to listen to Huang Yong's words...... Since our emperor is stubborn, he will not say more, he can only ask my emperor to close himself in the palace and think carefully, whether he wants to listen to my ...... or not" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left, "As for the medicine, wait for my emperor to think clearly, and then use it." After walking a few steps, Di Yu turned his head slightly and said a flat word, then turned his head and left, leaving Li Yu to sit down paralyzed.

Despair came faster than expected.

Li Yu was confined to the dormitory for two days, and the scars on his body were festering uncontrollably. At first, he ordered the palace people to bring in the imperial doctors to check on them, but these quacks were obviously helpless. When he uncovered the wound on his body that was wrapped up, Li Yu didn't dare to look at it directly, and he didn't even dare to let the imperial doctor and the palace people beside him see it.

The wounds all over his body had festered, turning into bloody pus, and the bright red flesh under the white skin that had been rolled up at the edges had gradually turned black everywhere. Li Yu could almost smell the smell of the fish on his body, and he was afraid that after losing the maintenance of that pool of strange medicine, he would be such a ghost, or even a rotten flesh.

The pain was eating away at him more and more violently, at first he gritted his teeth and endured it, but the injury quickly spread, and now he just rolled over and immediately his heart contracted in pain, hissing his teeth and inhaling cold air, and screaming out.

"My Emperor," Bei Yingling, who was standing beside him, looked at him worriedly and anxiously, and said helplessly, "Just follow what Lord Huang said......

Li Yu, whose face was as pale as paper, fell on the couch, the sackcloth was wrapped around the wounds on his body, he was like a small beast bitten by poisonous insects all over his body, and the pain was full of beads of sweat the size of beans, but he couldn't move, almost trying his best. He had experienced hellish torture in a dark chamber, but he didn't expect him to fall again so soon. His originally delicate face had also crawled with scars, and he ignored it, just stared at the void in despair, muttering to himself, "What can I do for them?"

Under the continuous pain of bone erosion, his consciousness gradually became numb, and in his blurred vision, Li Yu saw a white-robed figure who came to the front of the couch, he tried his best to open his eyes, and Xuanshu's calm face slowly became clear.

"Holy Messenger...... You're not dead?"

"My emperor, Xuanshu is blessed by the gods, and it is not so easy to die. Xuanshu said as he leaned down to examine his wounds, and then his body was stunned, and his face was surprised.

"Ah......h

Xuanshu, who had a solemn expression, sighed deeply and shook his head.

"Holy Messenger...... Help me......"

"You are an emissary, you can see that this is ...... Is it witchcraft?" Bei Yingling, who had been standing, asked in a deep voice.

Xuan Shu nodded very slightly, and said, "My emperor, do what you say." ”

"You're not a holy envoy of the Divine Sect, a double cultivator, isn't there any other way?" Li Yu asked with annoyance.

Xuan Shu in front of him didn't speak, just looked at Li Yu and shook his head.

"You said you wanted to protect me...... But I can't save me every time," Li Yu said desperately, "Nangong wants me to worship him as 'father', how can I ......" he said, a deep sense of humiliation welled up in his heart, accompanied by pain all over his body, forcing him to burst into tears.

"My emperor, now you have to give in for a while, you should know that the destiny of heaven is difficult to disobey. The corners of Xuanshu's mouth seemed to twitch slightly, and he stood expressionlessly, and his tone did not fluctuate.

He tried his last bit of strength to resist in frustration, but a new wave of piercing pain invaded, he couldn't help but raise his head, his eyes were round, the barrier in his weak heart finally collapsed, and he roared in a dumb voice: "Call Huang Ji, call Huang Ji!"

With only the sharp pain left in his consciousness, Li Yu was helped into the dim room by someone. A familiar, disgusting stench like a decaying battlefield came to my nose, and bubbles bubbled in the pool filled with thick dark green mud in front of me.

The naked Li Yu was covered in scars, and bloody pus flowed down from the scars, just like the appearance of surviving on the battlefield that day but dying.

But at this moment, Li Yu couldn't care about anything else, his heart actually longed for the pool of mud, he desperately got away from the person holding him, and staggered into the pool alone, trembling and lying down.

"Ahh

Although the pain continued, the viscous mud that soaked in his body was clearly relieving the pain, and he could even feel the itch of the festering wound that had festered earlier. The eyes that were about to close suddenly opened again, and he felt something slippery and inexplicable wandering around him again, but he couldn't manage it so much, and the drowsiness came to him, and he closed his eyes again and fell into endless darkness.
