Capital.

Imperial Palace, Upper Forest Palace.

The majestic old man in a brocade robe sat gloomily on a mat covered with cattails, and not far from him there was a silver basin with a large piece of crushed ice, which had melted nearly half.

Summer, night, stuffy and hot, humid and heavy, as if there was going to be rain.

The cattail grass exudes a faint fragrance and repells mosquitoes.

This is a special product of Yunnan, and it has been a tribute in all dynasties.

The mattress may seem inconspicuous, but it has a lilac fluorescence, and you can lie on it for a long time, so you can clear your mind and not have nightmares.

These two things, in terms of cost alone, are worth five or six hundred taels, and they have no price.

The emperor's use is all of the highest quality, although looking at the simple score, the inside is really luxurious.

The old man sat on his knees with his hands on the table.

At over 90 years old, he can no longer work, and this year, he has lost most of the affairs in his hands to his son......

Right now, what he fancies is nothing more than the Zhen family.

"The Zhen family has been a loyal servant of mine for life, so let's go with me......"

"I should remove this sorrow for future generations......

Both hands slapped heavily on the table, and the candlestick, which emitted a faint cold light, jumped up and made a loud noise.

"The Emperor's ......"

Outside the door, the personal eunuch called softly.

He was always outside, and when he heard a noise, he always had to ask a question or two.

With two weak gasps, the old emperor sat down on his knees again, turning his head to look outside.

"It's you, I'm fine."

"It's late at night, you can rest too, we're all old."

The eunuch hesitated, and wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it again, he still didn't say much.

"No...... St. Ann! ”

Stunned, the old emperor smiled.

"Little Guizi, you also came to this with me."

Xiao Guizi still insisted:

"St. Bow?"

The old emperor suddenly felt extremely bored, and waved his hand.

"That's it, I'm here!"

Xiao Guizi lowered his head and stepped back, and at this moment, the old emperor said again.

"Wait, little Guizi, let's have a good chat with the master and servant."

Xiao Guizi looked up, answered, and came back.

Patting his side, the old emperor motioned for him to sit down.

Eunuch Gui sat down on his knees, sitting upright, and straightened his back solemnly.

This is good etiquette that has been cultivated by decades of training.

"You have seen Concubine Zhen back then, my Concubine Zhen...... You've seen it too. ”

For some reason, the old emperor suddenly mentioned this.

Eunuch Gui did not answer, he knew that the lord did not like to interject at this time.

The old emperor didn't expect him to answer, and went on.

"Thinking about sixty years ago, before I first ascended the throne, I was the second prince, and I saw her in the Shanglin Yuan Flower Viewing Dynasty at that time, and I saw her ......"

With a little vitality on his face, reminiscing about the old emperor in the past, his smile was so warm.

“…… I fell in love with her at first sight, among so many eunuch women. ”

"She was holding an azure umbrella with auspicious clouds, wearing a purple skirt, and a string of agate on her left hand, standing alone in the shade of the tree, smiling shallowly."

"I still remember that day when she smiled, somehow, it entered my heart, and I can't forget her."

"Ha, now I've almost forgotten what she looked like at that time, just that smile, I will never forget it for the rest of my life!"

The old emperor coughed suddenly, and the eunuch Gui beside him hurriedly held a cup of herbal tea and served it.

He took two sips of the porcelain cup, feeling bored in his heart, he shook his head and pushed it away.

Today, he had a feeling that he had to talk to someone.

These words may have been hidden for too long, too deeply, and now they can be heard by this servant who has followed him since childhood.

"Later, you also know, I went back to invite my mother, went to inquire about her, and the Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion was hired."

"She could have been queen, after I ascended the throne...... But Zhen Jiaquan was too heavy, I was frightened, I was terrified, so I found a reason to belittle her......"

"Ha, she was young at that time, and she was pampered, and she was not convinced, and she didn't give me a good face again. I deliberately chilled her for a few months.

Sure enough, she was usually favored, and she thought that she would be the queen everywhere, and there were many enemies in the past.

In order to sharpen her temperament, I deliberately went out of the palace and swam around the south of the Yangtze River.

Remember, it took months to come back!

In just half a year, she was emaciated, like a wilted flower in the garden. ”

Sighing, the old emperor stood up, walked to the edge of the bookcase, opened an unlocked wooden box, and found a thick silk neatly folded.

On these silks, there are some embroideries, but unfortunately they are not finished, and they are obviously semi-finished products.

Looking at these, the old emperor sighed again.

"After this hard work, she also learned to be well-behaved, and knew that she wanted to please me, in order to meet the music, she also deliberately went to learn female red, so big one, even a yellow bird can't embroider well, and three hundred pieces of silk were wasted before and after."

It's a pity that later, her smile is not as good as before, and she always feels a little less interesting. I know now that in the past, when she laughed, it was her wife who smiled at her husband, and then she laughed again, it was the palace concubine who was currying favor with the emperor. ”

"I have rubbed her temperament, and I have also rubbed out her heart, and what I left for me is just an ordinary palace concubine."

"Later, I deposed the queen three times, but I didn't let her touch the golden seal, and I didn't let her take charge of palace affairs once."

"She has also learned to be smart, and she is like two people before, and she is so cautious everywhere that she is boundless, for fear that someone will calculate her...... During the half year I was not in the palace, she should not have had a good life. ”

Eunuch Gui suddenly spoke.

"The emperor, the mother, she has suffered a lot of grievances, and when you are away, there will be no one to protect her.

Although the concubine Niangniang is also surnamed Zhen, it was not easy to help her at that time, and she had to avoid suspicion in many matters. ”

The old emperor paused.

"I didn't expect her to be so stupid...... Fortunately, I haven't been stupid yet, and after suffering a loss, I look like a serious concubine. ”

"A concubine should look like a concubine, unlike a concubine, she will stay for a short time."

"Actually, it's not like I don't regret it...... I regretted it right away! ”

"At that time, not long after I ascended the throne, I was still waiting for the master, and the Zhen family came up, and the black ice platform found out about the Zhen family, this is a big family that has been out of immortals, but it has recently fallen down."

"My mother's surname is Zhen, and my concubine is also surnamed Zhen...... How do I not know the details of the Zhen family? It looks like a businessman, but in fact, the Zhen family is a family of immortals, and there have been several generations of immortals! Mortals are easy to grow old, immortals live a long life, maybe they are still living there in seclusion and cultivating! ”

"I'm afraid! I'm really scared! What is I, the Son of Heaven, in front of those immortal families who can live for four or five hundred years at every turn? So I didn't dare to let the daughter of the Zhen family take the back seat. ”

"Sure enough, the Zhen family is a scourge, I didn't expect it wrong, I came up with a five-son heir, what a big deal!"

"So I can't help but give her death...... I didn't die simply, and I still had to leave this embroidery. ”

With the last bloody silk cloth rubbed in his hand, the old emperor seemed to return to that night.

"I asked her to choose the way to die, she was willing to be drenched in rain, or ice water, frozen all night, and when she went back, she had a high fever that did not go away, and she died, and finally embroidered this for me to ......"

"I'm seventy or eighty, who will embroider it for?"

On the silk, embroidered is more than 60 years ago, outside Jinling City, in the Shanglin Garden, a man and a woman met for the first time......

Unconsciously, tears fell, and the old emperor's hands trembled.

"Now, she's gone, I'm fast, I'm fast, she's waiting for me below, I know."

"I know ......"

With the embroidery in his hand in his hand, the old emperor came to the window and looked into the distance.

A bolt of lightning flashed, and it rained lightly.

The old emperor looked fixedly out of the window, and the raindrops hit the window, fell into the house, and soaked the placket of his clothes.

"Emperor, the rain is in!"

Eunuch Gui stepped forward to remind him that he knew that the lord was not in good health and could not be exposed to the rain.

As if not hearing what he was saying, the old emperor muttered to himself.

"That night, she was drenched in ice and rain, was it also so cold?"

The wind and rain gradually became stronger, and the raindrops hit the window, splitting the head and covering the face for a while.

However, the old emperor didn't seem to react, and still looked there.

Eunuch Gui knew that the place he was looking at was there, and the concubine was drenched in ice water that night, and she was standing in front of the Lord.

I don't know how long it took, the old emperor's head and face were wet, and rain was dripping down, but he still didn't move.

"Emperor?"

Eunuch Gui finally realized that something was wrong.

stepped forward and pulled gently, and suddenly felt that something was wrong.

He has also practiced martial arts for many years.

He sniffed out again, examined it carefully, and then fell to his knees trembling and weeping.

"Lord, you went to ......"

In the distance, the sound of wind, rain, and thunder rang all night.

……

"The emperor star is shaken three times, the starlight is scattered, and this lord of heaven collapses......"

"Today, it's time to return to heaven!"

Zhen Qin carried a guqin on his back, stood on a high place, looking at the bright starry sky.

This is the peak of Yuqing Mountain, cloudless all year round, the field of vision is empty, and it is a good place for stargazing.

"This is the hollow period of power replacement, and the dark line that the Zhen family planted before can be moved!"

Zhen Qin said coldly.

"Yes, Ancestor."

A middle-aged man in the back replied respectfully.

"Also, don't call me my ancestor in the future, I look like I'm twenty years old, you are older than me, it's not appropriate to call me that."

"Well, you follow them too, call me the leader of the alliance, listen to the cordial ......"

Knowing that his ancestor was nostalgic for the days when he was the leader of the Yuqing League, the middle-aged man who was disgusted and looked old reluctantly responded helplessly.

"Yes, Alliance Master."

"Well, go ahead."

Zhen Qin beckoned with satisfaction, still not looking back.

"Is my Zhen family's advantage so easy to take advantage of?"

"Even if it's the Son of Heaven, you have to pay something, spit out everything you eat for me, and give it back if you take me!"

"You fight the country, but you have to contribute to the Zhen family, and when you run out, you want to unload the mill and kill the donkey, it's not so cheap!"

"Originally, you still have three months to live, but for the sake of my Zhen family, I still ask you to die!"

The young man's face was a little pale, and he covered the back of his left hand, which was faintly covered with poisonous sores and pus.

"It's a curse, since ancient times, immortals must not be lightly involved in the world, otherwise there will be a curse, I don't want to have this treatment now."

Fortunately, the immortal martial arts are complete, the blood is reborn, the changes are ever-changing, there are tricks in the know-how, and the self-existence is almost like an ancient god and demon, and there is an immortal body.

Zhen Qin's own treasure loomed, forcing the poisonous sore into his left hand to prevent it from spreading.

To curse and kill the Son of Heaven of the current Central Dynasty and make him lose three months of life, he must first face a strong force in the dark of the combination of heaven, earth and man.

The practitioner of the spell will be damned, with poisonous sores on his back, exhausted of his heart and blood, restless, delirious, and finally all kinds of deaf deeds and self-destruction.

However, for Zhen Qin today, this is nothing.

With his immortal body recovery ability, he will be able to dissolve the power of countermeasures in less than ten years.

Originally, it was not a direct loss of human life, but only a loss of three months of life, because the damage suffered was far lower than imagined.

Despite this, Zhen Qin was also in pain, feeling scorched, and it seemed that her internal organs would be scorched.

This is an illusion, caused by a large number of humane thoughts attacking the immortal body.

"Alas......... It's only been a short time since I got out of customs, and I'm going back again! ”

In terms of recuperation, it is naturally better to have Yuqing Road, and there is a special cave house.

During this time, he needed to stay in the cave in peace, dissipating the mental power that lingered in the wound and the shadow that overcame him......

"When I go out of the customs again, the Zhen family has already been ruled by the river!"
