Chapter 56: The Devil's Trail

"It started a year ago......"

"A year ago, my father suddenly became seriously ill, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless, and then put the emperor list to find a capable person, not to mention, there are really people who dare to reveal the emperor list, but that person also cured his father, but after the father, his personality has become eccentric, and his behavior is very different, and the killing is several times more than before, above the court, the former soldier squire was ordered by his father to punish the nine clans because of his collision with his father, and then his family disappeared overnight, so as to avoid suffering, his father also killed before, but it never happened, Therefore, I was not at ease, and a few months ago I sent the guard He Chong to investigate, but he suddenly ran out of the inner courtyard of the palace in the middle of the night, and shouted monsters in a panic, and reported to me...... Say that the father is a monster! Later, he vomited blood and died violently, I was taken aback, although my father's personality has changed greatly, and he has become a lot of murderers, but I have almost daily contact with people, and it is impossible for any monster to change, so I secretly sent someone to investigate! But the result ......"

"As a result, everyone either disappeared mysteriously or went crazy, so I became more and more sure that there was something bad in the palace!"

"Until eight months ago, I vaguely saw a person in the upper study, that person was covered with black gas, his face was red, and he actually sucked the blood of the palace maid!"

"As soon as I saw the light of that man, I knew that it was the same person as my mother, and that such a monster was in the palace, and I became more and more uneasy! Only then did I correspond with my mother and tell her what happened! ”

"There are demons in the palace, and my mother can't find any traces! Mother didn't dare to act rashly, saying that she was going to find support, and it was a month long that you didn't come until today! ”

"Didn't the red-glowing man notice you?" Tao Yunqing asked out loud, even if a person who cultivates immortals has not generated divine consciousness, his spiritual sense is superior to that of ordinary people

The second prince pondered for a moment and said, "I think I found it!" But as for why he didn't do anything to me, I don't know! The amulet that my mother left for me before she left has never been triggered! ”

"And what about the man who healed your father's illness before?"

"He was named the head of the Tai Hospital by my father, and he is still in the Tai Hospital!"

"I've seen that person, it's just a little monk at the fourth or fifth level of qi refining, and he can't drive away things, so I didn't move him for fear of startling the grass and snakes! I can bring him with me whenever you need him! He Miaoyu said

Tao Yunqing nodded, then groaned, and said, "Don't touch him yet, I'll go over and take a look at him tonight to see if he's making trouble!" ”

He Miaoyu nodded in agreement

Throughout the afternoon, Tao Yunqing had a hidden aura and wandered around the palace, it stands to reason that the cultivation realm of the cultivators in the capital of the Wu Kingdom will not exceed the Jindan, this is the world, and there are not too many resources to support the cultivation of cultivators, so his strength is hidden, and there is no need to worry too much

But no matter how much he searched, he couldn't see the anomaly of this palace

The old emperor he hasn't seen yet

But come to think of it, it is not impossible for a mortal emperor to be controlled by others

Soon, the time came for the evening

There were few stars in the sky, only a bright moon hanging high, and the occasional dark clouds drifting by

A gust of wind hit, and it was not so cool, but mixed with a smell of blood

Tao Yunqing came to Tai Hospital

He easily found the monk He Miaoyu was talking about

This person is a little old, his beard and hair are all white, it seems that he should be sixty or seventy years old, he looks like a loose cultivator, and his Dharma clothes are not glamorous, but very simple

Tao Yunqing looked at his strength, and sure enough, it looked like he was around the fourth layer of qi refining

None of the consciousness has been generated, but the alertness is still quite high

There is a guard formation in the courtyard, which is used for anti-surveillance, but it is very low-level and not very useful

He sat at the desk, shaking his head and reading a thread-bound book, which was a classic book of cultivating immortals, green and pine, not advanced, but he read it with relish

As for Tao Yunqing's appearance, he didn't notice it at all

Tao Yunqing monitored him for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more he was a low-level Qi refining stage cultivator, without the slightest abnormality

But it still cannot be ruled out that his concealment skills are very high

In order not to startle the snake, Tao Yunqing pushed out first

On the way back, Tao Yunqing always felt that something was wrong, it was not the monk who brought him, but this palace

The monk's sense of vigilance was far away from the mortals, and he sensed that something was wrong, but why it was wrong, he didn't know, and he wandered around the palace again

He was a little impetuous

Especially in places like passing through the emperor's bedchamber

"If there is no problem with all the people, then this emperor should be the biggest problem!" Tao Yunqing thought to herself

Come to think of it, it's time to meet this mortal emperor

But he wasn't in a hurry

The next day, news came from Li Chengqian

The emperor is coming

Tao Yunqing smiled slightly

When He Miaoyu heard this, she looked cramped and uneasy, and she wanted to hide

The second prince said: "Mother, my father knows that you came back to see me, he has been waiting for you for so long, you escaped this time, what about the next time?" What about next time? How long are you going to run? ”

He Miaoyu's face turned pale

But in the end, I decided to meet each other

But this was only one day, until near the evening, when a trumpet suddenly sounded: "The emperor has arrived!" ”

A group of people flocked to him, led by a spirited old man, who was dressed in a yellow robe, with a Land Rover and a tiger, looking full of majesty

He is the current saint of Wu State, Li Yuanjin

He looked a little thin, like an ordinary old man, with only a pair of eyes, deep eyes like the sea, and some indescribable domineering

Tao Yunqing was afraid of revealing something abnormal, so he also bent down and saluted with the others, for fear that the people he brought would be people from the Demon Dao, so he didn't dare to release his divine sense

"What about her?"

Li Yuanjin came to the door and asked

"Father, mother is inside!" The second prince followed behind him, and at this time he stood up respectfully and bent down and said

Li Yuanjin walked to the main seat, touched the chair, and then brushed his sleeves and said to his attendants: "You guys go down first!" ”

"Yes!"

Everyone retreated to the door

Tao Yunqing followed the second prince and stood aside, he is now the second prince's person, so he doesn't have to retreat

"Miaoyu, since I'm here, won't you come out to see me?"

The emperor said to He Miaoyu in the inner room

He Miaoyu sighed lightly, what should come is still coming, and walked out of the pavilion

"The concubine has seen Your Majesty!"

He Miaoyu came out in a plain robe, knelt down in front of Li Yuanjin, and bowed slightly

Li Yuanjin's gaze stayed on him for a long time before he said, "Good, good, good!" ”

When he said this, his tone seemed to contain anger, and there was also a little sourness

He Miaoyu frowned slightly, and she couldn't say anything for a while, so she was stunned for a long time before she spoke: "You, are you okay?" ”

Li Yuanjin walked up to her, looked at her, looked at her like that, looked at her like staring at a stone statue

"After so many years, you are not old, but I have become a bad old man!"

There was silence in the hall for a moment

"Father, let's let my mother get up first!" The second prince opened his mouth to break the silence

Li Yuanjin didn't speak, snorted lightly, got up from the chair, walked to He Miaoyu's side, stared at her eyes and asked, "You said back then, you have already seen through it, and now what are you doing when you come back?" ”

"This ......" He Miaoyu was speechless, and many things were already unclear between them

"At the beginning, for you, I didn't even want this Wu country, and said that I would take you incognito and be a pair of fairy couples, but what about you?" Li Yuanjin asked again

"As soon as you left, leaving Qian'er alone, have you ever been worthy of him over the years? Worthy of me? ”

"Humph......"

Li Yuanjin didn't wait for He Miaoyu to speak, snorted coldly, and walked away

"Let's drive back to the palace!"

There was a trumpet outside, and He Miaoyu was still kneeling on the ground, tears in her eyes

"Mother, Father, he just cares too much about you......" Li Chengqian picked up He Miaoyu, comforted her, and helped her back to the room

Tao Yunqing was a little surprised by this scene, and said that the royal family had no family affection, but this old emperor didn't seem to be like this

After a while, the second prince came out of the room

"Let Momorochi laugh!" The second prince bent down and saluted

"Where, looking at the situation, the second prince, your mother and father had a lot of stories back then! Can you tell me about it? ”

"This ......" the second prince hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Okay, it's good for the Taoist to know a little more!" ”

He invited Tao Yunqing to sit down and told him about his mother and the old emperor

That goes back a long way

Li Yuanjin is not the emperor, at that time, he was young and frivolous, fresh clothes and angry horses, was the most outstanding prince of the previous emperor, once led the troops to fight against the Hu people in the north, pacified the war of Wu and so on, it was because of his excellence, so he was calculated by the prince at that time, in a battle of 10,000 people, his subordinates, but also a shadow placed by the prince at that time, actually ventilated to the enemy, he was seriously injured, and escaped with all his subordinates loyal, it was this time, met He Miaoyu who was in the northern grassland at the time, she saved him, Young boys and girls, love for a long time, and later they returned to Kyoto, the old emperor learned the truth, exiled the prince at that time, and later, because of his great military achievements, he was made the prince by the old emperor

But later, there was a problem with He Miaoyu's teacher, she wanted to go back, and Li Yuanjin actually gave up the position of prince and wanted to go into hiding with her!

This incident angered the previous emperor, he couldn't afford to be ill, and he was about to return to the west, and at this time, other princes who coveted the throne also came out of the hole at this time, and later, Li Yuanjin with the assistance of his younger brother Li Yuanji, that is, the current Prince Cheng, swept away all the princes, and for a while the blood stained the capital, dominating the capital

Li Yuanjin was proclaimed emperor in this battle

At that time, He Miaoyu was still there, but not long after she became emperor, she disappeared

"My father is a legend all his life, I only have one eldest brother, but he was born when his father was a teenager, you know that people like us are all known about personnel in the palace maids, so there is no emotion at all, my eldest brother died in his thirties, after my mother left, my father did not set up another concubine, but this palace seed, many people can't help themselves, even if my father, he is above 10,000 people, this is the case, if it weren't for all kinds of political marriages, I'm afraid he wouldn't have a prince behind!"

When the second prince talked about the old emperor, there was a hint of admiration in his mouth, and his father was indeed worthy of his pride

The history of the Wu Kingdom, Tao Yunqing is not clear, although he was born here since he was a child, and he used to wander when he was a child, but he heard people curse this emperor

But it's normal, the people only care about their own lives, the Son of Heaven pays attention to his own authority, no matter how prominent his achievements are, no matter how glorious his history, it is all for himself, except for the saints, no one is not for himself

After listening to the story of the old emperor, Tao Yunqing chatted with the second prince for a long time before going down to rest

Today, it seems that this emperor does not have the breath of a monk!
