Text Chapter 192: Enter the palace and face the saint
Just when Ling Tiansu was pondering how to formulate a plan to find out the hiding stronghold of the Hades Clan, there was important news from the palace.
Guozhang Zhao Xuan is critically ill!
Ling Tiansu was very puzzled, although he was seriously injured, it was by no means to the point of endangering his life.
After more than ten days of continuous efforts and treatment by the imperial doctors in the palace, the injury was originally stabilized, but not long ago, the injury of the national abbot Zhao Xuanji deteriorated rapidly without warning.
The imperial doctor in the palace was caught off guard, he had never seen such a strange image, and he looked through the ancient medical books one after another, but he still had no idea where to start, and he could only see that the national ruler was withering and helpless.
Today, the saint announced to the world, looking for famous doctors in the world, and decreed that as long as he could save the life of the abbot, he would directly seal the official position of the imperial doctor from the third grade, and reward him with a thousand gold.
And at the same time, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never met before, was in a hurry to enter the palace to face the saint.
Ling Tiansu, who received this news, sank in his heart, and the situation seemed to be happening beyond his prediction.
First, he didn't expect that although the people of the underworld seriously injured Zhao Xuanji, they still had a way to kill him, and they ...... It seems to be more powerful than he imagined.
Second, he didn't expect that the current saint would actually summon him into the palace at this time, could it be that he was already suspicious of him, and he had something to do with the big monument and the underworld?
In any case, the holy order cannot be violated, since it was the Holy God himself who ordered him to be summoned to the palace, even if he was unwilling, he had to temporarily put down his plan and enter the palace to face the saint.
Under the costumes of the maids, Ling Tiansu changed into the dark four-clawed python robe.
This python robe, the day after he returned to Beijing, was sent to the palace by the father-in-law in the palace, he remembered that when he took the python robe, he just glanced at it casually, and he didn't like it, so he threw it into the wardrobe casually.
Ye Gong was furious when he saw it, and he was furious and reprimanded him a few words, but he didn't take it to heart at the time.
When he returned to the room again, the black python robe was taken out of the wardrobe by Ye Gong again, and it was neatly and neatly laid in the corner of the room, with tears in his old eyes, and he stretched out his thin old hand to caress every inch of the python robe.
Later, Ling Tiansu learned that this python robe was given to his father Ye Wuxiu by the Holy Lord as early as fourteen years ago.
It's just that after a delay, it was delayed for a full fourteen years, and it could no longer be handed over to Ye Wuxiu.
The old man couldn't see his son wearing this python robe with high spirits.
From then on, Ling Tiansu let the python robe hang in the room and never threw it into the wardrobe casually.
It's just that I never thought that I would put on this python robe so quickly.
Ling Tiansu sighed, then raised his boots and walked away from the door, looking at the newly worn black soap boots on his feet, which were the unified official boots of the Great Jin officials, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking of the woman in red, the soap boots on her feet seemed to be somewhat similar to his.
When he went out of the room, he came to the waiting hall and saw the old eunuch who had been waiting for him, and ...... His grandfather Ye Shen Float.
Ye Shenfu looked up and down at Ling Tiansu, who was wearing a python robe and had a new look, and there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes, but he hid it perfectly.
He said lightly: "The old man entered the palace with you." ”
Before Ling Tiansu could answer, the old eunuch spoke in advance: "I also hope that the old prince Ye will forgive me, and the saint will decree that only Ye Xiaoshizi will be summoned, and no one else will be allowed to accompany him." ”
The old eunuch's tone was respectful, and although he held the holy decree in his hand, he bowed his waist deeply, for fear of provoking the slightest displeasure in front of him.
Although his tone was respectful, Ye Shenfu's face still sank.
During this period, the Holy Lord suddenly summoned Ling Tiansu, and Ling Tiansu himself felt something strange.
How can others not notice it, so they naturally don't worry about their grandson entering the palace alone.
But this short-sighted old eunuch actually dared to stop him! Is it true that if he has not held a knife for many years, he will not be able to kill anyone?
The murderous aura revealed by Ye Gong's sharp old eyes frightened the old eunuch into a cold sweat, and his back was instantly soaked, and he knelt on the ground without thinking about it, and cried in a low voice: "Old Lord Ye is angry! The old slave is just acting according to orders, and he has to obey, and I hope that Old Prince Ye will not embarrass the old slave anymore, if the old slave is not doing well, this head will be cut off and kicked by the group of little eunuchs when he goes back." ”
Ling Tiansu couldn't stand it anymore, but he didn't sympathize with this old eunuch who worked for the saint.
But it was really that the cry of this old fellow, who was neither male nor female, was too ugly and harsh, which made him goosebumps, and then he said: "Okay, grandpa, isn't it just to enter the palace to face the saint? ”
Seeing that he was a grandfather and grandson, it was rare to be so well-behaved, Ye Shenfu's anger suddenly dissipated, and his expression eased slightly, but he still said with some unease: "Can you do it alone?" You have never entered the palace, the water in it is too deep, the old man is afraid that you will not be able to cope with it, otherwise, I will let the shadow attendants follow, they will disappear without a trace, come and go freely in the palace, will not be discovered by outsiders, and can protect you at any time." ”
Ling Tiansu's heart warmed slightly.
This is his grandfather, his own grandfather, although he is dissatisfied with him a lot on weekdays, and hates iron but not steel.
But at the critical moment, he still cares about him very much, for fear that his grandson will be hurt in the slightest.
But...... Can't you cover up when your old man sends someone to protect him?
Where is the old eunuch kneeling?
Isn't it even more serious that the holy decree clearly states that only one person will be summoned and no one else will follow, and you will not go alone, but you have sent a group of shadow attendants to follow?
In front of the old eunuch, is it really good to flout the holy decree like this?
Having said that, this was the first time he had seen a person who had given a decree kneel down to someone who received it, and it was a real insight.
Ling Tiansu smiled bitterly: "It's really necessary, the palace is not a Longtan tiger's den, besides, I'm not a child anymore, so I don't need to protect me like this." ”
Calm down, Ye Shenfu thought about it and felt that he was a little too concerned, this is not good, this will only pamper the child, if he uses the shadow to pull the tiger skin in the future, it is not good.
That's it, let the child take care of the things he causes, right?
After all, if you can protect it for a while, you can't protect it for a lifetime.
"Well, be careful yourself. ”
After leaving the mansion, with the support of dozens of black-armored soldiers, he got into the carriage.
The wheels were rolling, moving forward extremely smoothly, Ling Tiansu sat quietly in the carriage, closed his eyes and thought deeply.
The first time he entered the Yong'an Imperial City, he didn't feel a trace of nervousness, he had experienced life and death, and in this undercurrent of influx, it was easier to correct his position.
The carriage passed through the bustling streets, the hustle and bustle gradually receded, and there was no longer a trace of the noise of the market, and the road was bustling and lively, as if it were far away.
...... All it was was the sound of wheels pinching the gravel and the metal of the armor rubbing against the dozens of ironclad soldiers walking.
Ling Tiansu slowly struggled his eyes, lifted the corner of the curtain, and looked through the car window.
Looking at this glorious palace calmly, the carriage stopped at the palace gate, and was stopped by the palace gate guards for routine inspection.
I saw one of the black-armored guards take out a golden token, and the guard in charge of the inspection saluted respectfully, waved his hand, and let him go directly.
Not surprisingly, Ling Tiansu was arranged to meet the saint in the imperial study.
Under the leadership of the old eunuch, Ling Tiansu slowly entered the study.
The white jade paved floor, the carved red windows, the sandalwood incense burner, the glazed painted screen, along the line of sight, there is a fast golden, embroidered golden dragon pattern tablecloth on the desk, and a golden dragon chair is placed behind the desk.
The middle-aged man made on the dragon chair is naturally the lord of a country in the current Great Jin, Qin Bu.
However, the current saint has taken off the purple gold dragon robe, a simple bright yellow single robe.
Although he has entered middle age, His Majesty the Emperor is very handsome, and the shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes do not give him the meaning of old age, and he looks more mature and charming.
He was holding a jade brush and was concentrating on reading the recital.
Ling Tiansu was slightly stunned, a little surprised, but it was not because of the majestic Son of Heaven who was sitting on the dragon chair, but the purple-clothed woman beside the Son of Heaven who was carefully grinding ink and her eyebrows and eyes were gentle.
Qin Ziwei.
Today's Qin Ziwei has no veil on his face, the scars on his face have long been repaired, and his skin, which is as white as a hard-boiled egg, is not reminiscent of the sword wounds that this face once had suffered so severely.
She was born beautifully, and her beauty was far better than that of the princess Li'er, who had a domineering personality.
She is quiet and leisurely, tender and graceful, as if she is like a light cloud covering the moon, and fluttering like the snow of the wind.
When she saw Ling Tiansu walk into the study, she bowed her head lightly and nodded slightly at him, revealing a kind and gentle smile.
His Majesty the Son of Heaven did not raise his head, but he took in this series of subtle movements, and the corners of his mouth were quietly hooked, outlining a meaningful arc.
When he raised his head again, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly dissipated without a trace, his eyes stared at Ling Tiansu below, and he slowly spoke, his tone was not angry and arrogant: "Ye Ling, since you are wearing a python robe, why don't you kneel when you see me?"
His Majesty's voice was slightly hoarse and magnetic, and there was no joy or anger to hear.
Since ancient times, monarchs and ministers have seen each other, and ministers have knelt down to kings, which is a matter of course.
And since Ling Tiansu has put on this python robe given by the Son of Heaven himself, it is to admit that he is the minister of the Great Jin Dynasty and the minister of Qin Bu, the son of heaven.
It is not a wise move to offend His Majesty, the Son of Heaven who covers the sky with only one hand, as soon as he enters the palace.
Ling Tiansu smiled slightly, bowed slightly to His Majesty the Son of Heaven, who was sitting on the dragon chair, and said, "Minister Yeling, see Your Majesty!"
Although he said that he would see His Majesty, his back was slightly bent, but he still had no intention of kneeling.
The Son of Heaven's Qin Bu's eyes narrowed slightly, and his wise eyes exuded a dangerous light.
Qin Ziyu, who was closest to him, knew that this was a phenomenon of his father's anger, and his heart trembled slightly, he really didn't want the young man who had healed her face injury to be angry with Long Yan because of such a trivial matter, and the extremely hidden Chaoling Tiansu made a color, and his water-colored eyes were faintly worried.
