Chapter 64: Blood Compensation - The Secret of Immortality

Cold, cold in blood crawled up like a worm. Fingertips, skin, intestines, neck, the itchy cold densely covered every inch of her body, from the surface to the inside, not letting go of any part of her body.

Breathing became shorter, pupils constricted, chaotic breath crashed in the chest and lungs, and hideous bloodshot crawled out of the bottom of the eyes.

In the dark secret room, under the stagnant candle flame, Miyue was suffering silently, the strange feeling was torturing her entire body, and a deep fear also emerged from her eyes.

"It's time...... It's time......" Mi Yue's voice trembled, in fact, her body was also instinctively confined, but the divine brilliance of the crystal coffin suppressed her, so that she couldn't even be confined.

The coldness and pain of the body of "Ah Zheng ......" began to eat away at Miyue's consciousness from all directions, and extreme anxiety and fear filled all Miyue's remaining consciousness. Mi Yue knows, she knows, it's time, it's time......

Ying Zheng hadn't come to see her for more than seven days, her body couldn't help it, and after the sultry coldness passed, it was the beginning of the real horror.

Although she couldn't see it, she could really feel that her blood was slowly darkening—the blood poison was about to attack—Miyue was afraid, she was afraid of everything, she wanted to save herself, but she couldn't, she couldn't move when she was confined in the crystal coffin.

A trace of wrinkles silently appeared in the corners of Mi Yue's eyes, and the subtle wrinkles that suddenly appeared on the smooth skin instantly lifted the suppressed fear in Mi Yue's heart.

"Nope! No! Mi Yue's eyelashes fluttered weakly, and her eyes struggled with girlish fear and despair.

Immediately afterward, the surface of her skin began to fold and decay in large areas, and at the same time, her fair skin was a dry yellow-black, like a patch of rust on the white wall, but soon, the mottled rust was like a tide around Miyue's body.

Her torso was shrinking, her breasts were falling, her hair was drying up—Miyue's entire body was rapidly decaying, as if she had quickly crossed a hundred years at this moment, and her whole person was directly stepping towards desperate aging and decay.

"Nope! No! No! Mi Yue's lips couldn't move, but she was screaming hoarsely in her heart, screaming with the most unmanageable fear.

But the screams were all in vain, and the decay spared no effort to devour her youth and countenance, without a little pity.

The sound of hurried footsteps echoed in the claustrophobic darkness, and the figure of a man suddenly appeared in the moon-white candlelight.

Ying Zheng held a wine glass in his hand, walked quickly to the crystal coffin, glanced at Miyue who was rotting in fear with extreme disgust, and then poured a whole glass of bright red wine into Miyue's mouth without hesitation. His movements were very tough, and he didn't care about the slightest liquid flowing from Mi Yue's mouth, and even opened his eyes, unwilling to look at her ugly appearance that was as rotten as a monster.

The blood flowed into the mouth, driving away the blood poison that was surging wildly in Miyue's body. That's right, what Ying Zheng poured into Miyue was not red wine, but real human blood.

Human blood is the only way to suppress the blood poison in Miyue's body.

The traces of decay gradually faded from Mi Yue's body, and every part of her body, her skin, limbs, and hair, was gradually restored, restoring her original beauty.

The spots in her eyes faded, and Mi Yue's eyes bloomed with the charming red and dark blue, but she was expressionless, and her beautiful heterochromatic pupils stared at Ying Zheng's face in distraction, staring at Ying Zheng's away gaze.

The blood has been drained, but Ying Zheng's hand has been holding the empty cup and has not moved. The remnants of blood slid down Mi Yue's lips and flowed all the way to the bottom of her neck, drawing a twisted but vivid line of blood.

- Mi Yue looked at herself in the mirror, a trace of bright red blood slipped from the corner of her lips, mysterious and bewitching.

She picked up a silk towel to wipe the blood from the corners of her lips, put on a new charming lip makeup, and smiled at the mirror.

Then Mi Yue turned her head and glanced lightly at the little palace maid who fell to the ground, her eyes calm. She raised her left hand lightly, and thousands of wisps of magic blue energy overflowed from her blood, condensing into a purple-red flower ball, and when her palm danced, the beautiful flower ball fell towards the palace maid on the ground.

The moment the flower ball touched the palace maid, a strange purple-red light came out thinly, covering the palace maid's whole body. In the shroud of demonic light, the fainting palace maid gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a thin purple flower together with the flower ball.

Mi Yue didn't look at it, but just hooked her fingers, and the purple flower flew up and landed on the huge palace wall of the Mi Palace.

On the golden palace wall, there are countless purple and red demon flowers......

- "Ah Qi...... I have read the political documents submitted by various parts of the country, and the situation is quite stable. Ying Zheng, who had just ascended the throne, sat in the cabinet, reading the imperial book and political documents, and said to Bai Qi, who was standing beside him: "There is no big movement in the border city......

"Nope. Xiang Yu and Liu Bang were dedicated to guarding the border city, and they didn't react......" Bai Qi said.

"Good...... You pass on this imperial edict of reform on my behalf. Ying Zheng took out a golden edict and handed it to Bai Qi, saying, "Passing on the emperor's decree, I will reform, increase the national tax and military service throughout the country, change the two times a year to the state treasury in each city to four times, change military service to hard service, levy 2,000 people per city, and send it to the Afang Palace project site to serve......"

"If any city disobeys the emperor's order, you will personally lead the army and attack the city for the crime of rebellion to impose national taxes and men, and if all the cities compromise, then increase the national taxes and labor in the next month...... Increase their burden again and again, force them to rebel step by step, and then suppress and convict them, so that they can gather enough financial and material resources, as well as the most important manpower...... By the way, for the border city, we must do a good job of blocking information, and we must not let Xiang Yu and Liu Bang perceive the situation in the inner country......"

"I understand...... Azheng, don't worry. Bai Qi replied in a deep voice.

"And ...... As I said last time, I can't live in such a big place alone, and some areas in Xianyang Palace can be sealed...... For example, Wei Gongyu. ”

"Hmm......" The eyes hidden under the battle helmet flashed unconsciously, and Bai Qi nodded heavily.

"There are too many courtiers and guards in the palace, I don't need these, just leave the necessary servants, and all the others will be abolished...... I don't want to see so many ants in the palace. ”

"Understood...... What about the palace maid? Bai Qi suddenly asked.

"Of course, it must also be removed...... Why do you ask? ”

"I heard...... The Empress Dowager Miyue has to change a batch of palace maids every seven days, and the palace has always prepared a batch of spare palace maids for her......" Bai Qi replied.

"Change the palace maid?" Ying Zheng's eyes flickered and said, "Let's withdraw too, she doesn't have much time to use the palace maids......"

"Good...... Then I'll arrange ......" After saying that, Bai Qi turned around and left the palace cabinet. And Ying Zheng continued to look through the political documents of various places...... Review to see if there are any noteworthy details.

And at this moment, the voice of the courtiers came from far away from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Miyue asks to see you." ”

"Exactly." Ying Zheng paused for a moment, and then said loudly.

And just as the words fell, I saw a small purple-black bat flying in through the crack in the window, flying to the pen and ink in front of Ying Zheng, Ying Zheng's eyes were slightly down, looking at the strange word "Mi" on the bat's outstretched wings. Immediately afterwards, a large number of identical carried bats crashed open the window, swept in, and flew around Yingzheng.

The bats swirled and converged, and a strange purple demon light flowed between them, and in an instant, the purple halo engulfed the bats, and they appeared into a beautiful woman with two pupils.

Mi Yue's beautiful eyes smiled, looked at Ying Zheng quietly, and sat down on the golden collapse where Ying Zheng was sitting.

Mi Yue, who was dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, leaned on Ying Zheng's body in an extremely bewitching posture, her slender hand was lightly rested on Ying Zheng's shoulder, her red lips leaned close to the side of Ying Zheng's eyes, and she breathed softly:

"The new emperor ascended the throne, very dutiful......"

Ying Zheng sat calmly, chuckling at the corner of his mouth: "Are you here to supervise me in handling state affairs?" Equalizers. ”

"Well, supervise whether you are idle, ignoring government affairs and playing with court wine." Mi Yue breathed beside Ying Zheng's eyes, smiling rather than smiling.

The equalizer laughed...... I'm not interested in those things......" Ying Zheng smiled, spread out the political document in his hand, and said, "What, do you want to check the notes of my correction again?" ”

"Hey." Mi Yue chuckled, stood up from the golden collapse, dressed in a gorgeous palace dress, she twisted her graceful waist, her steps turned down, and walked in front of Ying Zheng: "You are in charge of state affairs and government affairs...... I won't interfere with you. ”

"Is that good...... As a member of Qin and Chu, you have the same power as the emperor in your hands, and you can even initiate a national assembly to abolish the emperor......" Ying Zheng said.

"I'm a woman, what do I want so much power for? Besides, as you know, I've always wanted you to be emperor. Mi Yue's posture was fluttering, her beautiful face was facing Ying Zheng, and her eyes were affectionate and confused.

"I know ......," Ying Zheng's dragon eyes stared at the beautiful and sultry face, and said, "Then why do you have to be this equalizer?" ”

"Sense of security...... The sense of security that a woman needs...... "Mi Yue looked at Ying Zheng with her pair of demon red and dark blue pupils, and smiled.

Ying Zheng's eyes flickered faintly, he calmed down, and asked with a chuckle: "You are the queen mother of the king of a country, do you still owe any sense of security?" ”

As soon as Yingzheng's words fell, Mi Yue's smile changed suddenly.

"Yingzheng, do you have to ridicule me like this? Or do you really intend to make me your mother forever? Mi Yue frowned, staring angrily into Ying Zhengming's eyes.

Ying Zheng also stared at Mi Yue, silent, but his eyes were a little complicated, and then, he said quietly: "Heaven is reasonable, the queen mother, of course, will always be my queen mother." ”

Mi Yue's eyes trembled slightly, she stared at Ying Zheng resentfully, and turned around violently, transforming into a purple-black Mi pattern bat, flying away from the Xuan window.

Looking at Mi Yue's departure from afar, Ying Zheng's heart couldn't be calm, but he still calmed down......

"Come out...... Ying Zheng said coldly.

A moment later, the ghostly man walked out from behind the cabinet door and stopped delicately at a distance of five feet from Yingzheng.

"I didn't want to peep, I just happened to meet it......" Bian Que looked at Ying Zheng and said.

"Say it...... What are you here for......" Ying Zheng asked coldly.

"Seven days later, there will be a rare full moon...... I'm here to remind you...... If you want to do it, don't miss this opportunity......" Bian Que said quietly in a ghostly voice.

“…… I know," Ying Zheng replied softly, looking at the open window with complicated eyes.

- Mi Yue lay on the mat bed heavily, not knowing whether to be sad or angry, but she felt very powerless, obviously she had this peerless face, why should she be trapped in the love network and suffer.

So she didn't leave the palace, didn't even leave the bed, just lay on the bed for seven days, as if she was numbing her emotions with silence.

As soon as people calm down, it is easy to fall into memories - the past years float in Miyue's eyes, little by little.

She recalled that Ying Zheng had been led by her since she was a child...... Ying Zheng's biological mother died when Ying Zheng was born, and the old emperor wanted to find a concubine from his three palaces and six courtyards to take care of the prince, and the concubines were all pampered women, who wanted to do such a troublesome thing as taking care of children.

But fate was destined in the dark, and the imperial concubine Miyue, who was very bored at the time, fell in love with this bright-eyed baby at a glance and volunteered to take care of him next.

Since then, Mi Yue has spent almost all of her time on this naturally bright-eyed child...... Finally when he grows up......

Those memories are vivid, no matter how long it has been, Mi Yue clearly remembers that he was once a child, but he declared to her at the age of three that he would become the king of heaven and earth!

"Report to the Empress Dowager, the emperor has arrived-" The palace maid's voice was like thunder, and she woke Mi Yue up from her long memories.

"How could he come...... Mi Yue was surprised but happy in her heart, she faintly heard Ying Zheng's footsteps echoing outside the palace, and even heard Ying Zheng order the palace maids to retreat......

But Mi Yue found that she had been lying in bed for the past few days, never going out, forgetting to make up, and her appearance was embarrassing.

"Your Majesty, don't come in! I just woke up, and I didn't make up ......," Mi Yue called anxiously, and then immediately turned over and got out of bed, and went to the mirror to tidy up the makeup she had indulged in for a few days......

Looking at himself in the mirror, no matter how beautiful his face was, he was overwhelmed...... So Mi Yue was anxious, and while she quickly dressed up, she was worried that Ying Zheng would suddenly come in......

But something more sudden happened......

A trace of folds flashed in the corners of Mi Yue's eyes, without warning, but it was very real. All of Miyue's movements stopped when the slightest fold appeared, and her whole body seemed to be still.

Mi Yue looked at the wrinkles that flashed on her face in a daze, and her heart fell into the abyss of fear.

"How...... How could it be ...... "With the constriction of her pupils, fear continued to amplify in her heart" right...... It's been seven days...... It's been another seven days......"

Mi Yue suddenly noticed, but it was too late...... Ying Zheng is just outside the door and is about to come in, what is she going to do now? What could she do?

Mi Yue stared at the wrinkles on her face in the mirror in horror, not knowing what to do, but she absolutely couldn't let Ying Zheng see the wrinkles, and she definitely couldn't let Ying Zheng see her like this.

Yes, no matter what, you can't let Ying Zheng see her like this! Mi Yue held her breath, stared at the bright mirror, and surged the magic blue energy in her body to heal the wrinkles, trying to use the magic blue to forcibly suppress the blood poison in her body that was about to thin her hair.

Thousands of wisps of demon blue energy overflowed from Miyue's blood, condensing to the disgusting folds at the corners of her eyes, and the folds gradually became lighter under the pressure of demon blue, and it seemed to really work......

But all this is just the struggle of the drowning person before he is drowned.

Seeing that the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were getting shallower and shallower, but in an instant, another wrinkle appeared on Mi Yue's face, and Mi Yue's expression that had just revealed a hint of joy was instantly reversed, but before she could react, another wrinkle appeared on the bridge of her nose...... Immediately afterwards, the forehead, neck, and fingers, trace after trace of folds appeared, like a mirror suddenly appeared a thousand cracks......

"Don't! No! Don't ......" Mi Yue was frightened, she kept trying to cover it with her hands, to smooth out the wrinkles that appeared on her body, the magic blue energy in her body was released without reservation, but it was useless, no matter what she did, she could only struggle, no blood would work, only blood was the antidote......

Wrinkles were dense on Mi Yue's body, and at the same time, the withered dead gray appeared on her jade skin, with mottled spots spreading rapidly on her skin......

"Don't ...... No...... No! Mi Yue could feel that it was not just her appearance that had changed, the crazy coldness had already flowed in her blood, but what could she do, she didn't know what to do, she could only cry, powerlessly and constantly stroking her crazy aging body with her hands......

Fear and despair ate away at her consciousness and soul.

"Don't! I don't want it! Mi Yue burst into tears and suddenly shouted as if she were tearing. But as soon as she shouted, she suddenly realized that she subconsciously stopped all her movements, and even held her breath.

Mi Yue turned around slowly, and at this time, her body was already extremely old, and she could only lean her back and snoop timidly with her gray eyes......

Ying Zheng stood in front of the pavilion door like a stone statue, looking at Mi Yue with a dead silence, and the bright pupils of the two dragons flashed with an incomparably complex light.

At the moment when she saw Ying Zheng, all the consciousness and all the souls of Mi Yue's whole person were completely shattered in bottomless despair - Ying Zheng saw it, and her extremely ugly aging appearance was seen by Ying Zheng!

Mi Yue lowered her gaze, not daring to look at Ying Zheng at all, she only felt an indescribable feeling of suffocation, pressing on her heart, making her unable to breathe. The aging body cowered in the heavy palace clothes, and a distraction, the aging Miyue fell to the ground.

Mi Yue instinctively wanted to moan, but she forced it to suppress, she didn't dare to make a sound, she didn't know what her voice had aged now, she was afraid that Ying Zheng would hear that hoarse and harsh voice...... Just like that, she didn't get up after she fell, but cowered on the ground, covering her ugly self at the moment with a wide palace dress.

Ying Zheng was still silent, even he couldn't be calm in the face of the scene at this moment...... He kept staring at the extremely ugly aging woman in Miyue's clothes, breathed heavily, and then said slowly:

"Miyue, is that you......"

However, Mi Yue hid in the cover of the palace clothes, and did not dare to say a word, but could only be frightened and desperate, sobbing and trembling.

"What do I ask you! Is that you? Miyue! Ying Zheng suddenly raised his voice and asked heavily. Mi Yue, who was so frightened that she cowered under the palace clothes, couldn't help but tremble. But she still didn't say anything.

However, at this moment, there was a loud bang on the roof of the palace, and a dark blue scythe was heavily opened by a dark blue scythe.

Along the gap, the brilliance of the full moon fell like ice and snow, and it shone squarely on Miyue, who was cowering on the ground!

The white-haired, black-haired, ghostly man half-squatted on the edge of the gap at the top of the palace pavilion, and quickly gestured with his hands against the gap.

With the swipe of his fingers, the magic blue energy condensed in his fingertips overflowed, and he was sealed along the trajectory of the man's fingers, and in an instant, a dark green mysterious magic circle was sealed, and the man immediately took out a crystal clear colorless crystal from his arms and aimed it at the core of the circle.

"The immortal dead, the gestalt of the full moon, the lost crystal, illuminates the heart of the end of all evil. The starlight, the flowing fire, the blue light, and the holy light turn the sacred into shackles and seal the boundless realm of the demon spirit. ”

The man chanted the incantation quickly and rhythmically, and the crystal in his hand emitted a brilliant divine light in the circle.

The light ingested from the opening, constantly reflected and intertwined, and the chains shaped like light were bound around Miyue's body. Immediately, Mi Yue, who was cowering in the palace clothes, let out a burning groan of her soul.

"Ancient Magic: Demon Binding Crystal Coffin" The man chanted the last spell as he threw the crystal in his hand.

I saw that the crystal crystal scattered the brilliance while falling in the intertwined brilliance, and finally landed on Mi Yue, who was trembling on the ground, bursting out a large crystal brilliance.

The brilliance disappeared, but a huge crystal coffin appeared in everyone's eyes, and the aging Miyue was lying quietly in the crystal coffin, unable to move.

"Presumptuous! Who told you to do it! Ying Zheng looked up at the people on the top of the pavilion and scolded angrily.

Bian Que and Bai Qi jumped down from the gap and landed in front of Ying Zheng.

"I'm sorry, Ah Zheng...... But just now was the best opportunity, if you don't seize it, it will be difficult to imprison the Empress Dowager's ever-changing demon path......" Bai Qi bowed his head and explained.

Mi Yue, who was lying quietly in the crystal coffin, couldn't move, but she could still vaguely see and hear the situation outside the coffin, when she heard what Bai Qi said, she couldn't help but feel a chill in her heart, the previous fear and panic faded away at this moment, and another kind of despair swept through her heart - she really didn't expect that Ying Zheng would actually attack her!

"But I haven't seen it yet! What is the situation! I haven't asked her what this ugly look is! Ying Zheng opened his pupils angrily and roared angrily, as soon as he saw or thought of Miyue's old and ugly appearance in front of him, a kind of ignorant karmic fire ignited in his heart that could not be quelled.

"No need to ask, I know why." Bian Que on the side said quietly, "She took Xu Fu's blood elixir, and her body suffered from incurable blood poison with medicinal properties......"

"Blood elixir?" Ying Zheng's tone calmed down a little.

"An ancient and evil mystic...... The blood elixir can essentially alienate human blood, so that people can obtain long-term youth and immortal appearance, but at the same time, it will also make people's blood suffer from incurable blood poison, if you do not take human blood regularly, blood poison will erode the human body, decaying people's lives at an unimaginable speed, and the intuitive phenomenon is extremely rapid aging......"

Ying Zheng calmed down...... After listening to what Bian Que said, all the confusion seemed to be explained...... Why does Miyue age instantly? Why does the palace change palace maids regularly? Why can Mi Yue live for so many years but her face is immortal? And Xu Fu, who had been in trouble for Qin Chu for ten years, why was he able to sneak into Xianyang Palace through Miyue in the first place?

Bian Que walked to the crystal coffin step by step, took out a small tube of human blood from the medicine box, and poured it into the mouth of Mi Yue, who was sealed in the crystal coffin, and watched Mi Yue's decaying body quickly change back to its young and beautiful appearance after being nourished by blood. Then he turned his head and said with a ghostly breath, "So...... Everything has a price, and behind the immortal face is the compensation of sad blood. ”

Ying Zheng suddenly became extremely calm, he looked at the peerless beauty in the crystal coffin with an expressionless face, and the dragon's bright eyes exuded an unspoken hatred......

——Just like three years later, Ying Zheng took back the wine glass hanging on Miyue's mouth, still glanced at Miyue expressionlessly, and then turned around and left with a low step.
