Chapter 10 Cleansing the Pill
The empress paused and asked everyone, "Zhong Aiqing can hear it, my Yu'er will correct her mistake and say that she accepts any punishment." ”
The ministers knew that the empress would be overly concerned about Lin Chu's affairs, and looking at her nonsensical behavior, they couldn't figure it out, and they didn't dare to speak with their heads down.
"Well, my son has such a broad mind, I am very pleased, I feel that I should not only be punished, but also rewarded!"
The empress waved her sleeves coldly, "Come on, read the things I gave to Yu'er to everyone." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mei'er, the empress's personal palace maid, came over with the holy decree and read it out.
"Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said: The imperial daughter Lin Yu is both talented and beautiful, intelligent and agile, and generous, and is deeply loved by me. Now canonized as the lord of He'an city, give He'an a city, and call it King Yu in the future, Qin this! ”
The empress propped her forehead and said to Lin Yu with a sneer, "Yu'er, do you like this reward?" ”
When Lin Yu heard Mei'er read out the holy decree, he was already frightened into a cold sweat.
The empress was planning to expel her from the battle for the throne completely, and let her stay in He'an's one-third of an acre of land henceforth.
Far away from the capital, he can no longer disturb Lin Chu.
She looked at the empress in disbelief, and stumbled and said, "Mother, queen mother, my son is stupid, I don't know what you mean." ”
At the same time, Yin Su Shudie, from the second grade Shuntianfu Mansion, also stood up.
"Your Majesty, this must not be done! If the second princess is canonized as King Yu, then who can afford to be a prince in the future? ”
As soon as these words came out, there were many discussions among the officials in the court, and it was obvious from the public opinion that there were not a few people who were inclined to Lin Yu.
Yan Panlan, a scholar in the cabinet of Zhengsanpin, also said to the empress,
"Your Majesty, at present, none of the princesses have been tested by the Silver Peak, and no one knows which princess will be recognized. It is really unruly to rank the second princess outside the position of the prince now! ”
"yes, yes!"
"The Second Empress is not only the highest level of divine power among them, but also a god-given divine power. If she didn't go to the test of Silver Peak, how could she pass the test alive with the other two. ”
Lin Chu smiled, she knew that the emperor was partial to Lin Chu, but she didn't expect to be so blatantly partial in front of everyone.
Through their conversation, Lin Chu also remembered that when every country wants to establish a prince, the imperial heirs have to pass the test of the silver peaks in the South Underworld Forest.
There is a pagoda in the Silver Peak, this pagoda is only five stories high, but each floor is an independent space, and no one knows how big it is.
There are countless spiritual treasures inside, but in proportion to the spiritual treasures, there are many mechanisms.
Only the heir who has passed the test of the five-story tower can smoothly inherit the throne.
Of course, the predecessors also tried to let the heir of the emperor who was not tested, but who would have thought that the country would have suffered from natural disasters since this person succeeded to the throne, and the people were in dire straits.
No one can say why.
It is precisely because the treasures in it are so rare, especially the treasures of the fifth layer are difficult to find for thousands of years.
Therefore, there are not a few people who enter the tower every year, but very few people can come out alive.
Because from the moment they step into the tower, there is no turning back, and the only thing that awaits them is to pass the level and die.
At the cost of a fresh life, it is to get a few dead things.
As a god, she has an incomparable reverence for life, and Lin Chu can't understand this kind of behavior.
Lin Chu listened to the noisy discussion in her ears, she was very curious about what the empress would do in the face of this situation?
The empress in front of her still maintained the posture just now, she just looked at the civil and military officials in front of her quietly, her red lips spit lightly, "Are you done discussing?" ”
The empress said lightly, but everyone had a sense of tension about the current enemy and shuddered.
"So what's your idea?"
"Back to Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is too early to decide the candidate for the prince now, and it is most fair to let the royal daughters pass the test of the five-story tower."
Lin Yu looked at Su Shudie gratefully, fortunately, there were still many ministers in the court who supported him.
Today it is necessary to convince the queen mother to change her mind.
Otherwise, she Lin Yu would really have to leave the capital and stay away from the battle for storage positions.
A treacherous sneer flashed on the empress's face, and her willow eyebrows rose up, "Fair? Then when you tried hard to make Lin Yu the princess before, why didn't you want to think about how to write the word fairness? ”
Su Shudie lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the empress, "It's the minister who didn't think about it before." ”
"But now Chu'er has no internal strength at all, so how can I compete fairly with Yu'er?"
Hearing the empress's words, there seemed to be a hint of loosening, Yan Panlan hurriedly replied,
"Back to Your Majesty, although the eldest princess does not have the outstanding ability of the second princess. However, if you rely on the stimulation of the pill herbs the day after tomorrow, you may be able to strengthen the physical body, and there is no precedent for passing through the pagoda by relying only on the flesh and blood. ”
The empress looked at Yan Panlan and thought for a while, then slowly spoke,
"Oh? Pills and herbs, even Aiqing thought so, and I had no reason to refuse Yan Aiqing's proposal. Then, I decided to give the pill to Chu'er, so that she could compete with Yu'er more fairly. ”
Hearing the empress's words, everyone was completely stunned.
There are only 5 marrow washing pills in total, and there is only one in the Middle East, which is still the treasure that the empress got when she passed through the fifth-layer pagoda.
This only one marrow cleansing pill can be called the pill of the town country, should it be handed over to Lin Chu like this for a person with no internal strength?
Empress, what are you kidding?!
Everyone finally understood why the empress suddenly decreed that Lin Yu would be crowned King Yu, which was to force them step by step to hand over the marrow cleansing pill to Lin Chu.
Yan Panlan wanted to tear her mouth apart, she just said casually, who knew that the empress would really dare to hand over the marrow cleansing pill to Lin Chu.
If you knew earlier, she wouldn't have said anything if she was killed!
Lin Yu clenched her fists fiercely, she gritted her teeth and glared at Yan Panlan.
It's really not enough to succeed, but more than to fail.
Yan Panlan saw Lin Yu's gloomy eyes, trembled, and hurriedly replied,
"Your Majesty! The pill of Zhenguo is handed over to others so easily, this, this is not in accordance with the rules! ”
"Who told you that it was the pill of Zhenguo, it was the pill I brought back, I can give it to whoever I want, are you questioning what I said?"
The empress's voice was oozing with anger, and the invisible imperial power around her body shrouded everyone.
"The minister has no such intention, the minister deserves death, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive me."
Everyone lowered their heads, eager to dig a pit and hide in it, praying that the empress would not be angry with her.
But Lin Chu could still raise his head to look at her easily, who knew that the empress did not have any angry look on her face.
Instead, you can find time to wink at yourself.
The empress spoke to her, "Don't be afraid! ”
