Chapter 249: The Old Thing Returns
At the moment.
"Second Highness?" The father-in-law who was keeping vigil had just waited for Mu Zhengyun to sleep, and when he went out, he ran into Mu Feng who came in a hurry.
"Father, he ...... Have you ever gone to bed? Probing in, there were only a few faint candles left in the Heart Cultivation Hall at this moment, and Mu Feng frowned slightly.
"Oh, it's really a coincidence that the Second Highness came down, Your Majesty, he just fell asleep, and the Second Highness should come back tomorrow morning." The father-in-law bowed his head slightly, and replied with a smile on his face towards Mu Feng.
"Yes...... Father-in-law, I have something important, can I bother you to go in and talk about it? Mu Feng said again with a handful of hands towards his father-in-law.
"This ......," the father-in-law was a little embarrassed, "Second Highness, don't you know, I was disturbed by that gang of thieves last night, but Your Majesty didn't close your eyes all night, and now I just fell asleep this time, ...... Aren't you embarrassing the old slave......"
"......" heard the words of his father-in-law who kept vigil, and Mu Feng also knew his difficulties, but ......
Seeing that Mu Feng hesitated left and right, but his feet did not move for half a minute, the night watchman secretly thought for a moment and then spoke again: "Second Highness, what is the urgency?" If there is, you may be able to inform the old slave first, and then the old slave will convey it on your behalf when His Majesty wakes up. ”
Seeing that there was no other good way left and right, Mu Feng hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "Then it's bothering my father-in-law, in fact, it's not a big deal, I'm just looking for something but I can't find it for a long time."
"Oh?" A trace of curiosity flashed on the father-in-law's face, "I don't know what kind of treasure it is, but it is so loved by His Royal Highness II?" ”
"It's not a treasure, it's just an elixir, it's called Wuji Dan, I don't know if my father-in-law has ever heard of it?"
"Wuji Dan?!" The father-in-law, who was still in the sky a moment ago, suddenly changed his expression when he heard these three words.
"How?" Seeing his father-in-law's reaction, Mu Feng suddenly flashed a hint of surprise, "Father-in-law has heard of Wuji Dan?!" ”
"I didn't ...... No, no. Hurriedly hiding the different color on his face, the father-in-law of the night vigil tried his best to force himself to bring a smile, "The old slave is a minion, how can he have heard of such a baby." ”
"Really? But why ......" Sensing the abnormality of his father-in-law who was keeping vigil, Mu Feng had a trace of doubt in his heart.
"Second Highness!" The father-in-law of the night vigil suddenly interrupted Mu Feng's words, "You see that the time is not early, it is unreasonable for His Highness to stay in the palace late at night, and the old slave will send the second highness to him." ”
"I ......" Mu Feng didn't ask the doubts in his heart, but he was given an "eviction order" by his father-in-law in disguise.
"No, this father-in-law must have something to hide from me, but ......"
Looking at the insistence on the face of his father-in-law who kept watch, Mu Feng felt that even if he continued to stay here, he couldn't ask anything, so he glanced at the Heart Cultivation Hall behind him again, then turned around and left......
Looking at Mu Feng's back as he gradually moved away,.
"Come in." At this moment, a slightly muffled voice suddenly came to mind in the Heart Cultivation Hall behind him.
Hearing the voice, the father-in-law of the night watch was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted, and then quickly pushed open the door of the palace of heart cultivation that he had just closed with his own hands, and stepped into it......
"Your Majesty, didn't you sleep?" The father-in-law of the night vigil bowed his waist slightly and walked quickly to Mu Zhengyun's bed.
"I want to sleep, but it's hard to sleep when I'm so disturbed by you!" Mu Zhengyun glanced at his father-in-law beside the bed and said coldly.
"Disturbed Your Majesty's sleep, the slave should die! The slave deserves to die the most......" said with a look of panic, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and kept bowing.
"Alright, alright." Mu Zhengyun waved his hand impatiently, "Last night's incident has just subsided a little, what's going on?" ”
"It's... It's ......" The father-in-law wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his words were a little hesitant.
"What is it?! If you have anything to say, don't babble! The expression on Mu Zhengyun's face became more and more ugly, just by seeing the expression on the face of this minion, he knew that something must have happened to him again.
"It's the second prince, he ......" said the father-in-law tremblingly, he has been by His Majesty's side for many years, and he is extremely well versed in the truth that a companion is like a tiger, not to mention this matter......
"Feng'er? What happened to him? Hearing that the matter was related to Mu Feng, Mu Zhengyun's expression changed slightly for a moment.
"His Royal Highness asked the minions about the ...... Regarding the whereabouts of Wuji Dan. After saying this, the father-in-law seemed to feel that his upper and lower lips almost did not obey the call.
Outsiders may not know, but he who has been by His Majesty's side for many years knows the inside story, when the life of the concubine was hanging by a thread, and the emperor almost went crazy and sent people to look for Wuji Dan, he was also present.
At that time, even if many years have passed, he does not dare to forget the slightest bit.
It was this Wuji Dan, and the people below searched for several years before they were finally found, but when it was sent back to the palace, the concubine Niangniang ...... But it has long since disappeared.
This is the destiny of heaven, but ......
Looking at the Ninety-Five Venerable in front of him, whose face was cold and even majestic, his heart flashed for a while, and the most primitive fear came from the bottom of his heart.
The emperor was furious, and the corpses were floating for thousands of miles......
Thousands of minions, imperial doctors, and even soldiers who shed their blood for the royal family on the battlefield disappeared into the world overnight because of this Wuji Pill.
Since then, everything about the concubine has become a taboo in the palace, and as for the three words of Wuji Dan, it is a taboo among taboos.
The stars are tossing and turning, the years are passing, and a new generation is replacing the old.
Now in this palace, there are fewer and fewer people who know about that incident back then, and when I thought that this matter was quietly buried in the long river of history, I didn't expect it......
Now, many years later, someone will open this matter again, and now...... even involved the second prince.
That's thousands of souls and blood! After so many years, will that scene from that time be repeated today?
Sure enough, with the three words Wuji Dan, the atmosphere in the hall instantly dropped to a pole.
Mu Zhengyun, who was lying in front of the bed, seemed to be so cold at the moment, and there was hardly a trace of temperature above his pale complexion.
Just like the look on that night many years ago......
In the huge Heart Nourishing Palace, there seemed to be a strong bloody aura floating at this moment, which was almost suffocating.
"At dawn, send someone to invite the second prince over."
After a long time, Mu Zhengyun, who had been maintaining a posture, slowly opened his mouth, and as soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand to his father-in-law on the side, and then lay back on the bed again, and then turned his back......
The father-in-law who bowed slightly and walked out of the Heart Cultivation Hall quickly was still in shock for a long time.
Thinking back to the scene when His Majesty spoke just now, the tone seemed to be ...... Peaceful?
