Chapter 92: Where the Taoist Monk Returns to the Peach Planter III
Since taking the elixir, lead and mercury compounds have begun to turn over the rivers and seas in Li Chun's stomach, and the sulfur is fanning the flames, which is even more powerful, tirelessly, day and night. Dongdong such as hardware and eight stones also took the opportunity to set up camp in Li Chun's belly with great interest, and even if he had his own territory, he began to recruit troops day after day to expand his strength. As a result, Li Chun's stomach became a battlefield where all forces stirred up and competed with each other, which hurt Li Chun.
The pain, the pain day by day, gradually consumed Li Chun's health, and at the same time, gradually increased Li Chun's temper.
Pain, unspeakable pain, needs to be vented, unbelievably vented. venting, only venting can make Li Chun's pain temporarily relieved.
People with different identities, statuses, and personalities have different ways of venting: students who are disgusted with learning may vent their damn textbooks on the ground; In the face of vexatious students, the teacher's way of venting may be to expel them from the class; The way the company's employees vent may be to talk bad about the leader behind their backs; The boss's way of venting is to shout at disobedient employees in person; Housewives may vent by smashing dishes and bowls, or chattering and scolding; A hot-tempered husband may raise his fist high...... Smashing glass, kicking doors, hitting walls, drinking, fighting, and even screaming at each other can be one of the ways to vent.
Of course, these are ordinary people's ways of venting, and Li Chun is not an ordinary person, but an emperor. Therefore, Li Chun's way of venting is not ordinary at all, but very special and cruel: killing!
"Kill him, kill this useless minion!" Li Chun's hoarse shouts echoed in the Zhonghe Palace. With Li Chun's hoarse shout, a little eunuch in yellow was beaten to death in front of Li Chun. To death, this little eunuch didn't understand what he had done! Because, perhaps, he didn't make a mistake at all! Perhaps, a word, an inadvertent action, a look, an expression, a cough, or even a slightly heavy breath may anger the irascible Li Chun, thus causing death for himself!
Several eunuchs walked into the main hall silently, lifted the gradually cold and stiff body with expressionless faces, and then retreated silently, for fear that one would accidentally anger the plague god on the bed.
Looking at the little yellow robe that was lifted, all the palace maids and eunuchs had the illusion that the person who had lost his life was themselves. They have long since remembered that this is the first person to be innocently killed, and who can guarantee that the next one will not be their turn?
"Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger", who would have thought that the Tang Dynasty Emperor, who was wise and martial in the past, would become a short-tempered murderer just because of that handful of white powder.
The last afterglow of the setting sun slowly climbed up the palace wall, sprinkling the last ray of light all over every corner of the Zhonghe Palace, and the golden sunlight gently caressed every frightened face. The day that is about to pass is so long and torturous for everyone in the Middle Temple! Fortunately, no matter how long and tormented the day is, it is about to pass, and the night, the lovely night, is coming.
Perhaps, when the morning sun rises again, everyone in the temple will no longer have to be afraid, let alone suffer in pain, because, tonight, everything will come to an end. That person, the one who was on high, the one who terrified them, the one who could decide their life and death at will, would lose the life he had once lived. Of course, it will not be the end of life, nor because of terminal illness, but because of murder! Tonight, the lord of the night is not destined to be suffocating darkness, but to another, more brilliant color, blood-red red!
That person, the person who was about to pierce Li Chun's heart with a sharp knife, the person who was about to kill the monarch, was hiding behind the pillars of the Zhonghe Hall at this moment. In fact, he had been hiding there for an entire afternoon.
Except for Li Chun, who was lying stiffly on the dragon bed, everyone in the Zhonghe Palace, including every palace maid and every eunuch, knew the existence of this person, and of course knew what this person was going to do. However, no one tried to stop the plot to kill the king, and no one felt anything wrong, they just looked at the man behind the pillar with anticipation and pity, hoping that he would do it sooner and end this painful ordeal as soon as possible.
