Chang Feng hurriedly leaned his ears over, and after Apricot muttered in his ear for a while, Chang Feng got up and left the 'Treasure Jade Pavilion'.

After Chang Feng left, Apricot clapped her hands, and the two men suddenly walked out from behind the screen.

"The two of you quickly spread the news of the 'Amaterasu Treasure Box', and said that the 'Amaterasu Treasure Box' has fallen into the hands of the government and will be sent to Luoyang tomorrow."

The two of them nodded yes, and then left the 'Treasure Jade Pavilion' quickly.

After the two left, Apricot quickly wrote a note, then went to the backyard, grabbed a carrier pigeon, stuffed the note into the bamboo pipe on the pigeon's leg, and then released the carrier pigeon.

It's night, Luoyang Palace.

Li Longji sat on the dragon chair, and in the main hall stood Li Qi, Yang Guozhong, and the eunuch Xuanzhi.

"Back to Your Majesty, Zhengyang County ordered Li Canghai to be sick in bed, and now he has fallen into a coma and cannot come to receive the order." The eunuch knelt on the ground and said.

"What's going on? Why did he fall unconscious? Li Longji frowned, seemingly displeased.

"This ...... The old slave is also unknown, and it is said that he was seriously ill. The eunuch replied.

"Alright, let's go down." Li Longji waved his hand and said unhappily: "How can this be reasonable, when I can use him, he is seriously ill, it is simply unreasonable!" ”

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that this Li Canghai must be in vain, and he is worried that he will be exposed in front of His Majesty, so he pretends to be sick, in order to escape His Majesty's punishment!" Yang Guozhong took the opportunity to speak.

"Lord Yang, have you seen Li Canghai?" Li Qi asked.

Yang Guozhong shook his head, stroked his beard and said, "This prime minister is the chief assistant of the country, how can he know a little Jiupin county magistrate?" ”

Li Qi smiled slightly and said, "Since Lord Yang has never seen Li Canghai, how did he know that he has a false name?" ”

"Li Canghai is not sick sooner or later. It was too much of a coincidence that His Majesty fell ill when he came to Luoyang. If he didn't deliberately feign illness, why didn't he come to Luoyang to meet the saint? Yang Guozhong said.

"Lord Yang's words are too arbitrary. Li Canghai's serious illness was confirmed by the eunuch himself, so how could it be fake? Although he is now seriously ill, as long as he recovers. Naturally, you can come to Luoyang to face the saint. On the contrary, Lord Yang, what is your intention to slander Li Canghai so much? Li Qi sneered and asked.

"Lord Wang, what do you mean by this?" Yang Guozhong is not a fool, how can he not hear what Li Qi said. This is clearly saying that he deliberately did not let the emperor see Li Canghai.

"This king recommended Li Canghai because Li Canghai does have his ability, and he can help the saint find the elixir of life. But Lord Yang, you have tried your best to obstruct this matter from the beginning, and this king would like to ask Lord Yang. What do you mean by that? Li Qijian raised his eyebrows slightly, and shouted coldly.

Li Longji, who had been silent, instantly turned ugly after hearing this.

He stared at Yang Guozhong deadly, without the slightest warmth in his eyes, as if he was looking at a corpse.

Yang Guozhong's forehead was stared at in a cold sweat, he knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed, and said, "Your Majesty." The old minister doesn't dare! King Jianning is spewing blood! The old minister is loyal to His Majesty, and I beg Your Majesty to see it! ”

Li Longji turned a deaf ear to his words. His main concern at this time was immortality, and whoever prevented him from seeking the elixir of life was his enemy.

"Guozhong, how about you explain to me what King Jianning said?" Li Longji stared at him and suddenly asked disapprovingly.

Yang Guozhong knelt on the ground, his body trembling constantly. There were even large beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, his eyes gurgled, and he cried: "The old minister has no second thoughts about His Majesty, the old minister is just worried that Li Canghai will delay His Majesty's search for the elixir of life, the heart of the old minister." Heaven and earth can be learned! If Your Majesty doesn't believe the minister, the minister is willing to die to prove his innocence! ”

As he spoke, Yang Guozhong got up and collided with the coiled dragon pillar in the main hall.

Bang~

With a muffled sound, Yang Guozhong's head suddenly shook with blood.

The corners of Li Qi's mouth couldn't help but hang a sneer, and he could see at a glance that Yang Guozhong was not hurt too much, but the blood flowed a little more.

However, these are enough for Li Longji.

Li Longji didn't seem to expect that Yang Guozhong would really touch the pillar with his head, he frowned, and said: "Guozhong, I naturally believe in your loyalty, and I have never doubted you, why do you bother?" ”

Yang Guozhong couldn't wipe the blood on his face, knelt on the ground and cried: "Your Majesty can trust the old minister, and the old minister is worth dying." The old minister is only afraid that after he dies, he will no longer be able to serve His Majesty! ”

Yang Guozhong beat his chest and paused, as if it was really the case, if it weren't for Li Qi's early understanding of his personality, I am afraid that he would have thought that he was really a great loyal minister.

"That's it, since Li Canghai is unconscious, this matter will be put aside for the time being." Li Longji rubbed his eyebrows and sighed to himself: "How can it be so easy to live forever? ”

After a pause, Li Longji said: "Tomorrow, the envoys of various countries will gather in Luoyang City, and I will set up a banquet to entertain them. Guozhong, how are you preparing for this? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this matter has been done, Your Majesty can rest assured!" Yang Guozhong replied respectfully.

"I believe in your abilities. It's not too early, so you should go down and rest early. Li Longji said lightly.

"Yes, the old minister retired." Yang Guozhong glanced at Li Qi, bowed his head and retreated.

After Yang Guozhong withdrew from the main hall, Li Longji brushed his beard, looked at Li Qi and said: "Son, among the many emperors and grandchildren, I believe in you the most, I will leave the matter of finding the elixir of life to you, you don't want to disappoint me!" ”

Li Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground and said respectfully: "Rest assured, Grandpa Huang'er will definitely do his best to find the elixir of life for Grandpa Huang!" ”

"I believe in you. Ahem~. Li Longji nodded, and suddenly coughed violently.

"Grandpa Huang, do you want to let your grandson come to the imperial doctor?" Seeing this, Li Qi hurriedly asked.

Li Longji waved his hand and said, "No need, I will go to see Concubine Ai in a while, just take a break, you go down first." ”

Li Qi frowned slightly, but the emperor's order was difficult to disobey, so he had to nod and withdraw.

Outside the palace gate, Huangfu Kun, who was dressed in armor, was patrolling back and forth.

Seeing Li Qi coming, he hurriedly walked over.

"Lord Wang, you frown, you seem to have something on your mind?" Huang Fukun asked.

Li Qi looked around, and said with a solemn expression: "Something is wrong, according to the eunuch Xuanzhi, Li Canghai is seriously ill, and now he is in a coma, and his life and death are unknown." ”

"What?" Huangfu Kun was taken aback.

"How is this possible? Canghai's body has always been very good, but he was so seriously injured in the underground underworld palace that he couldn't kill him, how could he suddenly fall into a coma? Huangfu Kun stared at him and said in surprise. (To be continued.) )
