Chapter 44: The Shadow

"On the twenty-third day of November in the sixth year of the Apocalypse, the emperor collapsed in Lingfeng Temple due to heart disease, and the doctors were powerless to return to heaven, and the prince was sad and could not hold it, and he was seriously ill for three months. The ministers were terrified, but fortunately, the crown prince returned to his destiny and succeeded to the throne.

The first emperor collapsed suddenly and was attributed to the five elements. The number is Emperor Guang, and he is in Nanling......"

I don't see where the sun is, I don't see the dossier of the day, knowing that what I wrote is not the truth, but Mrs. Xie still wrote down these respectfully and replaced the original dossier in the dark grid.

"It's the first year of Longyu now, hahahaha......" A gloomy hoarse laugh came from the shadows behind Mrs. Xie, who hurriedly hid the replaced file in the sleeve of his robe, as if he was afraid of being seen by the figure behind him.

After a hurried bow, Mrs. Xie left. Before leaving, I did not forget to carefully put the pen on the inkstone.

And at this moment, in the Weiyang Palace, Xuanyuan Jue is very irritable, for no other reason, since Zuo Cheng ascended the throne, he has played the matter of him reaching the age of marriage, not once or twice, but doesn't he know the thoughts of this group of people?

But right now, although he is able to pro-government, but the military power he handed over before is in the hands of Gonggong Dan and his group, and he wants to get married, the next step is not to wait for a prince who can succeed to the throne to get rid of him?

"The first emperor died, as a son of man, how can I not keep filial piety, I am determined to mourn for the first emperor for three years, Lord Zuo Cheng, let this matter go first."

Xuanyuan lowered his head, and his face suddenly showed a sad look, these days, because of the initial recovery from serious injuries, the succession to the throne of the great unification of the affairs is complicated, he has lost a lot of weight, at this moment, it seems more and more that he is mourning for the death of the first emperor.

Hearing this, although Gonggong Dan was displeased, he had no choice but to lean down, listening to the ministers say in unison, "Your Majesty is benevolent and filial", holding the hand of the dust trembling, and the feeling of being respired by someone back is really unpleasant.

At the same time, in King Kang's mansion, Xuanyuan Qi was still doing her homework in the study, originally she was playing chess with Gongyi in Yunjiu Academy, but who knew that Yu Qinglin came out of the palace and brought her a lot of homework for no reason, not to mention, and "robbed" her of the game of chess with Gongyifei.

And in the Yunjiu Courtyard, Liu Shi, Gongyi Fei, and Yu Qinglin sat around the tea case, only the three of them, no maids, little maids, and even Mrs. Yan was invited to Fengju Pavilion by Liu Shi.

"What? Emperor Guang was killed by the new emperor?! Yu Qinglin's eyes widened, and the white porcelain cup in his hand was knocked over to the ground by a wrong hand, and he fell to pieces.

Killing his father and killing the king, he just resigned for a few months for a temporary matter, how could Xuanyuan Jue do such a thing? Or rather, he's been planning for a long time.

However, the most important thing at the moment is the safety of Liu Shi and Gongyifei. At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and the two saw that Xuanyuan Jue was seriously injured and in critical condition, and when they rushed into the Daxiong Treasure Palace, then Dan Gonggong also rushed to the Lingfeng Temple with several monks. Thinking about it now, the unintentional glance has given people a reversal of black and white, and if they really want to be investigated, the two of them may be at a loss for words.

But now the two of them are safe and sound, it is expected that it is Xuanyuan Jue's instructions, but in the long future, in the final analysis, no one is more reassuring than the dead.

"Mr. Yu, if something happens to the two of us, please take care of them." Liu Shi said, and even bowed deeply to Yu Qinglin together with Gongyifei.

This kneeling is for reluctance and reassurance. Mrs. Yan, Xie Jin and Xu He are indeed people who can be trusted by life and death, but the more one person knows, the more dangerous it is.

The more dangerous it is, the more implicated it is. King Kang, Taifu, and Han Guo, no matter which side they are, they will not let them get into danger.

After being silent for a long time, Yu Qinglin seemed to be hesitating, his eyes that had always looked down on the three thousand floating dust stared at Liu Shi for a long time, and finally he stretched out his hands and helped the two of them up from the ground.

"What about Xie Jin and Xu He? Don't you really tell the two of them? ”

Liu Shi heard Yu Qinglin's question, and there was a relieved smile on his face. "The new emperor transferred one of them to Taichang Temple, and the other was the newly appointed governor of Zhitu......"

At this point, Liu Shi suddenly remembered the scene when he was summoned to the palace a few days ago.

"Liu Shi, do you really want to resist the decree, and you don't want to enter the court as an official?"

"Your Majesty, it is enough for you to have Xie Jin and Xu He, the small people are not able to use their civil and military forces, and it is a blessing to be able to serve His Royal Highness King Kang."

He resolutely rejected Xuanyuan Jue, and still honestly served as his companion in King Kang's mansion.

Seeing a hint of confusion flashing on Yu Qinglin's face, Liu Shi shook his head, and his right hand unconsciously touched his chest.

"When the new emperor was still the crown prince, he often came to live in King Kang's mansion. Although everyone was just a young child at that time, he was already quite kind in his words, and I believe that he will be a wise man who can make the people live and work in peace and contentment. Regardless of why he did that in the first place, Xuanguo needs him ......"

It was dull for a long time, until Yu Qinglin's fingers inadvertently touched the purse on his waist again, and he thought thoughtfully.

The immortal road should be far away, once wrong, once compassionate, dyed all over the entanglement, and now I realize that it is a little late?

"Okay, I promise."

On the other side, in the Lingfeng Temple, Master Jingsheng passed away, and a new abbot was also elected, and that person was the senior brother of Zhenzhi, a fat-headed and big-eared monk.

"I didn't kill Master, how could I kill Master?!"

In the meditation monastery in the back mountain, Zhenzhi was beaten by a group of monks, and the raindrops were the key points everywhere.

"Amitabha, why did Master accept such an ungrateful disciple as you?"

Grinning, like the joy and compassion of a Maitreya, Zhenzhi's senior brother, the current presiding officer of Lingfeng Temple, stepped on Zhenzhi's hand, and the force was slowly exerted, crushing back and forth, obviously painful, but Zhenzhi didn't say a word, biting his arm, biting blood oozing.

"Don't tell me the whereabouts of the white glazed magic beads, don't blame the senior brother for not thinking about the same family!"

The host lifted the back of Zhenzhi's neck with one hand and lifted him up halfway. Yi Jin tightened his throat almost like a rope, and he felt a fishy sweetness.

He suddenly understood why the master insisted on letting him leave before he sat down, and he had integrated the white glazed magic bead into the flesh and blood of his right arm with the secret technique of Brahmanism.

It's a pity that he is still a step late.

Compassion, great goodness, ridiculous to the extreme, keep saying that you are for the world, but in the end it is only for yourself.

Zhenzhi raised his head desperately, and there was a whirring sound in his throat, and the host thought that he had figured it out and wanted to confess, so he let go of his hand. Unexpectedly, Zhenzhi squirted a mouthful of blood from his mouth in the face, and in the blood, there was also a broken tooth.

"Hehehehe, Amitabha, then let Master and his old man's last wishes!"

was sprayed with filth, the host was not annoyed, but the joy became more and more obvious, smiling, regardless of the injury of Zhenzhi, whether he was dead or alive, directly grabbed his tattered clothes, and dragged him to the small entrance of a dungeon that was opened, and the strength of his hands was relaxed, and Zhenzhi was thrown into the so-called dungeon by him.

The moment the entrance closed, with the faint light, the last glance before falling asleep, Machi caught a glimpse of a stone statue in front of him, a faceless Buddha statue with no facial features.

It's time for more leaks, but Xuanyuan Jue is still in the dormitory approving one piece after another. It's not that these pieces are in urgent need of an answer, but only if he keeps himself busy, busy criticizing them, he won't let himself be cranky.

He didn't understand, he obviously planted the mother Gu of the same fate Gu for himself, and he personally ended the life of Emperor Guang who was planted with a child Gu, why was he so safe?

The blood gushing out of the wounds in the heart and abdomen that day, the cold after the blood loss, although it was momentary, was not an illusion.

Thinking to himself, the pen in his hand, which had just been as fast as the wind, gradually slowed down, until he finished the last stroke.

"You all stand down...... Xu watched too many pieces, and Xuanyuan felt a sour and swollen pain in his left eye. He waved his hand to the palace maids in the hall and signaled to them.

Tonight, all the palace maids in this hall are extraordinarily beautiful, if they were not intentionally arranged, they would never be so presumptuous on weekdays. After all, when the first emperor was there, he hated such a beautiful warbler and swallow the most.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are outside." Xu He, who was waiting on the side, saw that Xuanyuan was tired, so he also made a joke and retired first, tonight, he was on duty.

"Hmm." While listening to Xu He's reply, Xuanyuan raised his right hand and gently rubbed his left eye, and responded indifferently.

When Xu He also retreated to the outer room, the palace ladies blew out the lights and candles in the hall and retreated one by one, Xuanyuan Jue collapsed on the dragon couch in the dormitory as usual, and he didn't even take off the robe on his body, he felt a sense of drowsiness.

This is not the feeling he should have when he is about to fall asleep, but his dizziness after a busy day of government affairs.

I can't sleep, I want to wake up but I can't open my eyes. After feeling the soreness of his left eye just now, he rubbed it, but it had no effect, and now, on the contrary, it was a dull pain.

Isn't his left eye, which was suddenly healed, going blind again?

The slightest wisp of pain, with the passage of time, did not mean to disappear, but intensified, completely disturbing Xuanyuan Xuanyuan's hazy sleepiness.

However, how can this pain now be compared with the pain of his eye-gouging at the beginning?

It was also at this time that the voice of a deep voice sounded abruptly in his ears.

"He is worthy of being the king of a country in Xuanguo."

This voice is no stranger to him. Back then, when he stepped into Yanyuan Terrace and hesitated whether to stab the dagger in his hand repeatedly, it was also this voice that bewitched him on the side.

"Kill him, kill him, kill him......" The confusion and urging one after another, the ghost sent him to make him already determined to kill at that time.

It's just that Xu He's timely appearance also made him not start at that time. But this big mistake of killing his father and killing the king, he still made it three years later.

"Who are you?! Who are you?!! ”

One rolled over neatly, and drew the sword from the scabbard that hung beside the couch.

In the darkness, there was no sound but the sound of his own heartbeat.

Xu was afraid of alarming Xu He, who was staying outside, and thought that he might be too tired, and he didn't know it when he had a nightmare, Xuanyuan put the sword back again.

The sword is in its sheath, and everything is silent. The voice rang in his ears again.

"I'm you, Xuanyuan."

Xuanyuan didn't look back, for he caught a glimpse of a shadow-like figure standing behind him in the bronze mirror, close to his ear.
