His Majesty the Emperor, who returned to the imperial study from the early dynasty, was in a very good mood, naturally because the queen's health had improved, but the most important thing was that the thieves hidden in the palace had already been subdued, and the original gloomy look immediately turned from cloudy to sunny, which was a visible change to the naked eye.

However, if people are unlucky, they will even plug their teeth with water.

The joy in His Majesty's heart came quickly, but it also went quickly.

The personal attendant who was waiting in the imperial study suddenly broke in without any rules at this moment, took anxious small steps, and shouted in a voice that was so sharp that it was broken: "Your Majesty!

Hearing this ugly cry like a duck, His Majesty the Emperor instantly darkened his face, frowned, and was about to scold, but the next words of the chamberlain made his face change greatly, and he suddenly got up, only to feel a feeling of dizziness hit his brain, and he was almost knocked down by the steps under his feet.

"Your Majesty! The Queen Mother vomited blood! His Excellency the Medicine King said that the Niangniang's condition has worsened again!"

Although the tone and expression of the waiter and even the appearance of rushing in in a hurry were quite funny, these words made His Majesty the Emperor feel like he was struck by lightning, and he slapped the waiter away, and His Majesty the Emperor hurriedly walked out of the imperial study with a pale face.

When he came to the queen's bedchamber, from a long distance, His Majesty the Emperor heard the familiar voice, and cried very heartbreakingly.

His Majesty the Emperor's mood became chaotic, a wave of anger rushed to his mind, pushed away the palace maids and guards who came up to salute, he hurried to the palace, and saw the medicine king Chenru was treating the queen who was in pain on the bed, and sweat beads were hanging on her cheeks, and shouted angrily: "What the hell is going on! Hasn't that monk outside the mountain been caught! The thieves hidden in the capital have also been killed, why is Ling'er's body problem!"

Medicine King Chenru's expression was also a little dignified, he tried his best to appease the power of the riot in the queen's qi sea, until the faint aura that was about to tear up the entire qi sea was suppressed, and the queen's expression gradually eased, no longer so painful, he exhaled lightly, turned around and waved his hand at His Majesty the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, maybe we were wrong from the beginning, there is definitely more than one monk hidden outside the mountain in the palace. ”

"What do you mean by that?"

Medicine King Chenru looked at the sleeping queen mother, and continued to wave his hand and said, "I also thought that the arrest plan of the head of the Jiang Courtyard was foolproof, especially after the monk outside the mountain who was hiding in the palace appeared. ”

"But during the period when those people outside the mountains in the capital were ambushed one after another, and the big fish in the palace were also captured alive outside the south city gate, I was negligent for a while, so I didn't take care of Niangniang's situation all the time, but now it seems that there should be another mysterious person in the palace who urged the vague breath in the sea of Niangniang's qi, which made Niangniang's condition worse. ”

"Since the monk outside the mountain is already outside the southern city gate, there is no possibility that he will do it again in the palace, only because there is more than one monk outside the mountain hidden in the palace. ”

His Majesty the Emperor was silent.

He quietly looked at the queen who was breathing steadily on the bed and her face was very pale, waved his hand slightly, and motioned to the medicine king Chenru to talk in detail outside the palace.

Ordering those palace maids to serve the queen, His Majesty the Emperor stood under the corridor outside the palace and said softly: "That is to say, when the big fish in the palace appeared at the south gate, in this palace, there were other thieves lurking, waiting for the opportunity to move, and it is very likely that the big fish that came out of the head was just a bait, and the real dangerous person was still hidden in the shadows. ”

Medicine King Chenru said: "It is inevitable that there is still a second monk outside the mountain hidden in the palace, as for which is stronger or weaker than the monk outside the south city gate, it is not yet known, but it is very possible. ”

The monks outside the mountain themselves have mixed breaths, and if they practice some kind of hidden magic, it will indeed be difficult to find them in the huge palace.

If the monk outside the mountain who appeared outside the southern city gate and crossed the threshold of the Five Realms was just a bait existence, then one can imagine how powerful the person who was still hiding in the palace must be.

Although the Medicine King Chenru is also a great monk of the Five Realms, because of his lifelong study of medical skills, in fact, his strength is not very strong in the Five Realms, but because of the identity of the Medicine King, he has to have some more special means than ordinary Great Monks of the Five Realms.

Thinking of this, he immediately said to His Majesty the Emperor: "After finding out that the vague aura that exists in the sea of Niangniang's qi belongs to the monks outside the mountain, I began to do some research on this matter, and maybe I can find out the monks hidden outside the mountain through a medicinal incense. ”

This is a kind of tracer incense that the medicine king Chenru has researched in the past few days to fit the mixed breath of the monks outside the mountain, because it has not been tested, whether it can be successfully done, there is no complete certainty, and when he researched this tracer incense, the arrest of the monks outside the mountain in the capital has already begun, so there is no use in the front.

Now that there was an unexpected situation, he thought he could give it a try.

But thinking that he didn't have full confidence after all, he told His Majesty the Emperor the truth about the shortcomings, and it was up to His Majesty the Emperor to decide whether to use the tracing incense to find another monk hidden outside the mountain.

After all, if the tracing incense does not work, then it will inevitably startle the snake and cause many bigger troubles, and may even force the other party and accelerate the death of the queen.

His Majesty the Emperor did not hesitate for too long, and said: "Just do as you say, since the thief wants to separate the bait, then there must be a limited distance between the vague aura in the sea of urging qi, and he must be hiding near this dormitory, and it may even be the people in those guards and palace maids." ”

Although the palace maids and chamberlains who can get close to the queen, and the guards who patrol outside the harem gate wall, have all been replaced, there is no guarantee that they are absolutely safe.

Medicine King Chenru naturally knew about this, and immediately took the order and left.

The use of tracing incense to find the traces of monks outside the mountain needs to be carried out secretly, everything is for the safety of the queen's mother, and you can't rush it.

During this period, Jiang Tingyu and Xu Hexian also escorted Zhuge Dan into the palace gate and met His Majesty the Emperor.

A treacherous palace turmoil silently opened the curtain when dawn came.

......

In the deep prison of the Xuan Zheng Division.

Zhuge Dan's fat body was lying on the damp haystack, his already white face became even more pale and bloodless, panting slightly, his eyes were half-open in a sluggish state, and he looked at the blue-gray wall very sluggishly.

The prison in the Xuan Zheng Division is not the dirtiest, but it must be the most unpleasant.

The bad smell is not the rancid stench of various smells mixed together, but a disgusting smell that has deteriorated with the accumulation of blood over time.

Although there were some changes in the process, Zhuge Dan still fell into the hands of Xu Hexian.

Since it is suspected that there is another big fish hidden in the palace, Zhuge Dan, who is the only living mouth, is a very important condition.

Zhu Zaitian followed Xu Hexian, came to the prison, and saw the monk outside the mountain who secretly made the capital smoky.

The fat body, the fair face, and the languid look could hardly connect him with the terrifying monks outside the mountain no matter what.

Zhuge Dan didn't react to the arrival of Xu Hexian and Zhu Zaitian, but just turned sideways slightly and changed to a comfortable posture.

The prison of the Xuanzheng Division is definitely the most heavily defended place, and in the face of those prisoners who have cultivated strongly, there will also be special means to block the opponent's sea of qi, otherwise even if it is a strong prison, it will be difficult to trap the powerful cultivators.

The sea of qi is in the dantian, so the most effective way to block the sea of qi is to use an iron hook to penetrate the cultivator's dantian, which is a very cruel and dangerous thing.

But those who can use this method are undoubtedly extremely powerful beings, and they are not so easy to die.

And Xuan Zhengsi's prison also has the formation technique laid by Cao Rushan, unless he is a great monk of the Five Realms, it is impossible to escape, and Zhuge Dan was almost abolished by Xue Wang, and there is no cultivation in the Five Realms, in fact, he can't do anything, so even if he doesn't use an iron hook to pierce his dantian qi sea, he has no ability to escape from the prison.

Xu Hexian put his hands behind his back, looked at Zhuge Dan quietly, and said flatly: "If it's just you, it's indeed a bit stupid to make trouble in the capital, but I'm curious after all, how did you not show any horses in the palace?"

Zhuge Dan may not be particularly smart, but he is definitely not an idiot, and in the face of Xu Hexian's questions, he didn't even bother with it.

Xu Hexian exhaled slightly, and said: "Actually, I hate the cumbersome things of interrogation, and it is difficult for you to cooperate easily, so I won't say more, I have time to spend slowly with you, as a guest, I will serve you a big dish to taste the taste first." ”

Zhu Zaitian opened the prison in silence and walked in, he could imagine what kind of torture this monk outside the mountain would face.

If you talk about the means of torturing people, in the entire Jiang country, no one dares to say that it can be stronger than Xu Hexian.

He is really capable of making life worse than death, making prisoners physically and mentally broken, and falling into the abyss of despair and fear.
