Chapter 038: The Imperial City Reappears with Lotus Lanterns
When Yanjia Village celebrated, as everyone knows, an earth-shattering thing happened in the imperial city thousands of miles away, that is, the palace change!
Because overnight, in all the tombs of the entire imperial city, countless extremely ferocious corpses suddenly came out, surrounding the palace, and there were countless lotus lanterns floating in the sky, these lotus lanterns continued to emit a strange fragrance, and the people in the whole city became weak after smelling it.
Therefore, the royal guards who originally guarded the palace and all the soldiers of the army stationed in the imperial city became decorations, and they all collapsed to the ground one after another, without the slightest ability to resist.
When they learned that they had been poisoned by the corpse in their bodies, and that they could only get the antidote by giving up resistance unconditionally and choosing to surrender to the new emperor, most of them had to compromise and only after signing a surrender agreement and swearing allegiance to the new emperor did they get the antidote.
Subsequently, a man without limbs was carried into the palace by a group of dead corpses, announcing his official accession to the throne and becoming the new emperor of the Lotus Kingdom.
If Ghost Rose is here at this time, you will be surprised!
Because this person is the beloved she killed with her own hands in order to help him relieve his pain, and he is also Li Jiaxi's biological father.
That is, the man who was chopped off by Lan Guifei and cruelly soaked in the lotus pond in her back garden.
"What! Lee! How are you! You...... Aren't you dead! ”
When Concubine Lan Guifei was dragged into the palace by the corpses, she was shocked and pointed to the man without limbs who was placed on the dragon chair in front of her, and shouted in a lost voice.
"Haha...... Thanks to you, if I don't die, there will be a blessing, no, I have become the king of these dead corpses by chance. I'm here to settle an account with you today! When you chopped off my limbs, you said that since you can't live an ordinary life with your beloved, then you should be a queen vigorously. Now this world is mine, since you love me so much and want to be a queen, then you have to chop off your limbs, and you don't have limbs like me, right? Yes...... Haha......"
Since Li Zheng had no limbs, he could only lean on the dragon chair, staring at the disgraced Lan Guifei, and said cruelly, and laughed extremely arrogantly after speaking.
"Ah...... Don't! Kill me! I don't want to be a queen anymore! You let me go! Please, Li Zheng! Oh! No, please be gracious to the emperor! ”
"Do you know begging for mercy now? Back then, I begged you to let Xuan'er go, didn't you still poison her? Later, I begged you to kill me, so that I and Xuan'er could not live together, but when you asked to die together, instead of agreeing, did you chop off my limbs? So what kind of thoughts do you have today to seek to fulfill your death? ”
Li Zheng glared at Concubine Lan with disdain and roared.
"Your Majesty! Am I wrong? Have mercy on me and give me a happy end. I don't want my limbs to be chopped off, I'm afraid of pain! I'm really scared of pain! Don't chop off my limbs! Please, Your Majesty! ”
Lan Guifei kowtowed desperately and said, and fell backwards with a frightened face, her mouth kept begging for mercy, and her whole body was trembling, obviously really frightened.
"It's too late for you to beg me! Since you're so afraid of pain, I'll let you enjoy what really hurts! Come! I cut off her limbs little by little with a knife to prevent her from fainting, and stimulated her with chili water to keep her awake at all times, so that she could feel the process of being cut off little by little. Then soak in a large jar filled with chili water, and place it next to my dragon chair, and I want all the ministers to know the fate of not surrendering to me! Haha......"
Li Zheng glared at Concubine Lan with contempt and said in a tough tone.
"Subordinates obey!"
Several royal guards came up and forcibly dragged Concubine Lan, who was crazy and begging for mercy.
"Don't! The emperor is gracious! Please! The emperor is gracious...... Yes...... Ah......h
On the way Lan Guifei was dragged out, her miserable begging for mercy and screams could be heard throughout the palace, and it was not until the last heart-rending screams sounded that she fell silent, obviously fainting in pain.
After that, Li Zheng summoned Prime Minister Nangong Mo again.
"Wechen...... Nangong Moshen...... See the emperor, my emperor...... Hooray, hooray! ”
Nangong Mo almost crawled to Li Zheng on his knees, his voice trembled, and he barely said the words to meet the emperor. Because of Lan Guifei's screams before, he was completely stupid!
He never imagined that the palace, which had always been under his control, would change overnight.
I thought that Jun Wuregret had disappeared, and he also knew that Liansheng Tianzi was pregnant in Yanjia Village, as long as he strategized, over time, the whole world would be his, who knew that such an ending would occur.
He didn't count a dead man whose limbs had been chopped off would come to fight him for the world, but he didn't have the slightest ability to resist.
He didn't know what kind of adventures this Li Zheng had encountered over the years, lying on his salary and hiding his guts, so that he could turn over and occupy the imperial city and become the emperor!
He can even manipulate the dead corpses in the tomb to attack the imperial city. What's even more bizarre is what happened to those lotus lanterns flying all over the sky? What kind of master is the strange poison inside!
What's even more infuriating is that this strange poison, although taking the antidote, will attack every other day, and it must be relieved by taking the antidote again, that is to say, he and all the ministers, as well as the army, do not dare to resist forcibly at all, because before he really gets the antidote that can remove the toxins in the body at one time, he can only swallow his anger and surrender to this emperor who has no limbs.
At that moment, he was looking forward to the success of Tianzhi in Yanjia Village, which was thousands of miles away.
Because maybe only the real Son of Heaven can resolve this crisis in the Lotus Kingdom, but he also understands that even if the Son of Heaven is born, it will take at least ten years for the Son of Heaven to be born and grow up to have the ability to compete for the throne, and before that, he can only endure it.
"Nangong Mo, your two younger sisters liked me back then, you should know it. But for the sake of your father's position, you must send them to the palace to participate in the draft! Later, I had no choice but to let Xuan'er conceive my flesh and blood, so as to dispel your desire to let her enter the palace. Who knew that Lan'er was going to kill Xuan'er in a fit of rage! However, you obviously knew, but you turned a blind eye and let Lan'er come to the house. Fortunately, Xuan'er had a big life, and was rescued by a Dao aunt, who not only saved the child in her womb, but also learned a martial art, and lurked beside Lan'er, enduring humiliation and burden, always ready to find an opportunity to avenge me. The worries of daily life are frightened, and you have to pretend to serve Lan'er who separated me and Xuan'er wholeheartedly, all this suffering is caused by your indifference and greed for power! Therefore, I will depose your position as prime minister today as your retribution for your ruthlessness! ”
Li Zheng stared at Nangong Mo, who was trembling all over his knees, and said with great resentment.
"The emperor is gracious, please listen to Weichen tell the truth, and it is not too late for the emperor to order the removal of Weichen."
Nangong Mo made a desperate bet and pleaded.
"Oh? What is the truth? Listen, if one is false, your limbs will be ruined as well! ”
Li Zheng squinted his eyes and threatened.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen did know that Lan'er was going to kill Xuan'er, and Weichen was also a little selfish at that time, so he didn't stop Lan'er from doing it in person, but secretly sent Dao Gu to appear, saved Xuan'er, and did his best to save her child, as well as teach her various martial arts and survival skills, and helped her kill the ghost rose next to Lan'er and replace it. All this was arranged by Wei Chen, if the emperor didn't believe it, he could summon that Taoist aunt and ask him. Please ask the emperor to investigate, although Weichen is at fault, it can be regarded as atonement! ”
Nangong Mo was sweating profusely and explained truthfully.
"Oh? Is that really the case? Good! Naturally, I will send someone to check, and if it is true, you will be considered a great achievement, and I will not be guilty of the past! Still let you continue to serve as Prime Minister. If it is false, you know the consequences! I will definitely make your life worse than death, except for Xuan'er, your family is all over the house! Finally, I will ask you again, is what you said before true? ”
General Li Zheng asked suspiciously.
"Back to the emperor, Weichen has nothing to say, please check it clearly! From now on, I will definitely swear allegiance to the emperor, and there will be no two hearts! Otherwise, the sky will thunder and thunder, and five thunders will hit the top and die! ”
Nangong Mo hurriedly kowtowed again and said, and swore a poisonous oath to prove his innocence.
"Good! Since you dare to swear to God, I will believe you for once. Because the immortal heaven of the Lotus Kingdom is very effective, once you regret it one day, you will definitely not die well! I am now sending you to take Queen Xuan'er and my prince Jiaxi back to the palace as soon as possible, this is a test for you, if there is any mistake, go and accompany Lan'er to spend the rest of your life! Stand down! ”
Li Zheng nodded and said, he believed in Nangong Mo for the time being.
"Thank Emperor Longen, Weichen will definitely live up to his mission, and will not take Queen Xuan and the prince back to the palace, and Weichen is willing to apologize with death! Wechen retires! ”
Nangong Mo hurriedly kowtowed again and again and said gratefully, wiped the sweat from his forehead after speaking, and retreated backwards.
The other royal guards and corpses also retreated respectfully, and Li Zheng was the only one left in the entire hall.
"Xuan'er, you must not have imagined that I asked you to kill me so that I could be freed, but I actually lied to you, that is because I accidentally got a Heaven-defying Exercise, and I need to fake my death to practice, and the cultivation process is extremely bloody and cruel, in order not to worry you, and even to prevent me from cultivating, I had to hide the truth. Fortunately, I finally survived and survived. Although I don't have limbs, there are almost no people in this world who can beat me, plus I still have tens of millions of dead guards, who can help me in this world! In the future, this world will be me, you and the emperor Jiaxi! Follow me and be happy. Haha......"
Li Zheng stared at the sky outside the main hall and said with some guilt.
After finishing speaking, I saw him silently recite in his mouth, and suddenly his body rose into the air, flew back and forth in the hall a few times, and disappeared very strangely......
