Chapter Ninety-Two: Tea Together
For some reason, Li Chengzhou could feel his strong attitude through his words, and he seemed to hate the people of the Burning Cloud Empire to the core.
"They deliberately killed the local merchants, the purpose is to replace them, if Li Ling still dares to think of this country in his heart, he must not have a deep friendship with them, I am afraid that he has already colluded with that group of people, but he should have this fate, why should he ask for help?"
Li Xuan has never made a gaffe, and this is the first time he has been so out of shape.
raised a glass to dispel his sorrows, but he frowned, but the sorrow in his eyes was even stronger.
With the strength of wine, Li Chengzhou deliberately asked him about Li Ling.
"I'm just an idle prince, I don't know what kind of background the Nine Emperors have, so it seems that you don't like him."
Suddenly, his face changed suddenly.
It was as if he was talking about some plague god, but it quickly subsided.
"This is the secret of the royal family, and it is also the sin left by my father, but this is a matter of opinion, and what I know is also the most widely circulated rumor."
Suddenly, Li Chengzhou was interested, and then looked at him with anticipation in his eyes.
Li Xuan didn't worry about it anymore, and immediately informed Li Chengzhou of the rumors he knew.
"It is rumored that the mother concubine of the Nine Emperor Princes is not an ordinary human, but a merman in the sea who can use illusions to confuse the original father and emperor through her own illusions......"
Although there will be some immortal cultivators, they are also very few.
But Li Chengzhou heard of the merman for the first time, don't all people live in the sea? And how can you live in the royal family?
Li Xuan continued to tell the story of the year.
Concubine Li Ling was loved by the emperor, and it didn't take long for her to favor the harem, which made everyone fearful.
At that time, the emperor didn't even want to go to the early dynasty, and only wanted to linger with his beloved concubine, which also caused countless people to be dissatisfied.
But later the emperor seemed to be hunting, and the merman lived in the sea, and was afraid of fire by nature, so he accidentally touched the fire candle, set the entire dormitory on fire, and finally accidentally burned to death in the dormitory.
Although Li Ling was the ninth prince at the beginning, his body was very weak, and even the national teacher asserted that he could not live the weak crown.
And his mother concubine is the rumored shark person, the harem woman naturally did not dare to raise this person, and the emperor also remembered his mother because he saw him, and he didn't want to see things and think about people, so he let him go to the sect to practice.
"He's been gone for years, and no one knows his whereabouts, or hears from him, and it's as if we've been dead in our minds."
A sudden variable is the most terrifying, and at this time, Li Chengzhou suspected that Li Heng might have a big problem.
It seems that since he appeared, the group of assassins has disappeared smoothly, and an arrogant empire like the Burning Cloud Empire can compromise with him and sign a contract, and he is extremely mysterious.
"But isn't it said that the merman is afraid of water? Will it also get wet and manifest itself? ”
At this moment, Li Chengzhou was very curious, if Li Ling had the blood of a merman in his body, he would definitely become the target of everyone.
"It is rumored that mermaid soup can prolong life, and even immortality, if there are really words and other effects, how can my father have Li Ling with that woman?"
The doubts in Li Chengzhou's heart were solved at this moment, but he secretly thought in his heart that maybe everything was related to the Nine Emperor Princes.
"You don't have to worry too much these days, it won't be long before the new emperor is decided, I always feel that the appearance of the Nine Emperors is not for the throne, maybe there will be a deeper purpose."
Li Chengzhou's face showed a hint of gloom, but he had also enlightened for a long time in this wine game, hoping that Li Xuan would know how to advance and retreat, and look at this matter with a normal heart.
The next day, Li Chengzhou practiced swords in the courtyard, and the housekeeper immediately came to report.
"Lord, the Nine Emperors asked to see you, saying that they hadn't seen you for many years, and they wanted to catch up with you."
Suddenly, the movement of his hands stopped.
Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief, it seems that the Nine Emperor Princes are not really here to visit their relatives, but more like they want to play something.
"You go and bring out the best tea in the house, prepare it in the study, and the king will change his clothes."
The housekeeper nodded again and again, and then Li Chengzhou took the things in his hand, went to the room to change into a set of regular clothes, and soon came to the study.
At this moment, the housekeeper had already boiled the water, and Li Chengzhou came to retreat with a familiar appearance.
"I haven't seen him for many years, Uncle Huang is still as radiant as ever, and he doesn't look a little old on this face, but he is as young as our nephews."
Hearing this, Li Chengzhou's face showed a faint smile, but he knew in his heart that he took the initiative to find himself polite, and he must have something to ask.
"It's true that I haven't seen you for many years, I never thought that you were still a doll, and in a blink of an eye, you have become an adult, but after so many years of practicing outside, you can see your fairy appearance."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and then Li Chengzhou poured the hot water into the cup and soaked it.
Immediately afterwards, they took out the prepared high-quality tea leaves, and the two discussed the work of making tea.
"This hot water can't make the coffee table give off the best aroma."
Li Ling suddenly dissuaded Li Chengzhou's actions, and Li Chengzhou tacitly retracted his actions.
I saw him lift the kettle and shake it gently, and then open the lid to dissipate heat.
"Good tea can only be tempered by waiting for the best temperature to be able to quench the aroma, but the tea on the Emperor's Mansion is really superb."
Just by the tea leaves in this tea box, you can see that his family is rich, and Li Ling showed a look of expectation on his face.
Li Chengzhou twisted the tea leaves, then put them in his cup, and poured the hot water into the cup.
"This king is old, and he doesn't pay so much attention to drinking tea, but he just wants to take advantage of the best kung fu to strike while the iron is hot, so that this tea can be flavored in the hot water earlier."
The implication is that he wants to take advantage of the fact that everything is still not settled before the dust settles to elect Li Xuan as the new emperor.
But the person in front of him smiled and shook his head.
"I prefer to wait for the best time to have tea, and I just want to have tea."
This surprised Li Chengzhou.
originally thought that the two of them were going to continue to play dumb riddles, but he couldn't sit still and expressed his heart bluntly.
"I know in my heart what Uncle Huang thinks, I haven't appeared in Kyoto for so many years, how can I come to fight for the throne because the emperor is dead? After many years of field practice, I have already cultivated an unusual mind, and I have no intention of taking the throne. ”
Although he was revealing his intentions, Li Chengzhou sounded a little weird.
Although the emperor died, he was thinking about family affection and affection, which were also his biological parents, why did he have a sense of alienation?
Isn't it that he has been resentful of the emperor for not caring about his life and death for so many years? Isn't it because the emperor is afraid of seeing things and thinking about people, and when he sees him, he thinks of the woman he loves and is too sad?
"But you suddenly appeared here, as if you broke the rules in your heart."
Chapter Ninety-Three: Showdown
He has been cultivating outside the Qing Dynasty for many years, and he naturally has his own rules in his heart, and now that he has broken the rules and come to the world, he must have something important to do.
Seeing that Li Chengzhou was so straightforward, he just sneered.
"You haven't appeared for many years, since you have no intention of taking the throne, but you suddenly appeared, you must have your own purpose, but why do you want to kill the emperor?"
What Li Chengzhou said was very important, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have been panicked for a long time.
But Li Ling was able to drink tea here as usual, and he couldn't see a trace of waves.
"You arranged the assassins that day, right?"
Seeing that Li Chengzhou asked so explicitly, he just shook his head.
"Naturally, these things have nothing to do with me."
Seeing that he didn't admit it, Li Chengzhou's face became a little gloomy.
"If I hadn't asked like this before, I can ask you today and there is some evidence, when I found those assassins, I also saw you, a person who has been cultivating for many years, how could he appear in the Sect Division?"
This made him feel a little surprised, but he didn't expect that he still showed his feet.
But Li Chengzhou suddenly pulled the sachet from his waist, then put it in front of his nose and inhaled it violently, and slapped it on the table.
"When those assassins came to the Workshop Division that day, I arranged for a few clever and sensible girls to receive them, and in the end all those girls were killed, but there was a faint fragrance left on their bodies, which was no different from the fragrance emitted by your sachet."
This spice is so special that it is impossible to buy it except for its own proportion.
"The spices on your body are not usually visible outside, even if you take the same material, if the ratio is different, it will produce different effects."
These words aroused his interest, and Li Ling put down the teacup in his hand and looked at Li Chengzhou with a happy expression.
"It seems that you are smarter than you imagined, but you are so smart and found out so quickly, but it makes me feel a little surprised, I thought you had to find some clues and stay up for a few more days."
There was a look of indifference on his face, as if killing people was just a routine for him.
But then he looked at Li Chengzhou with envy.
"Do you want to hear something false, or do you want to hear something true?"
Suddenly, there was a strong playful atmosphere on his face, and seeing this situation, Li Chengzhou didn't talk nonsense.
"You must have something unusual to do when you come back from dinner, I want to hear the truth, I want to know your motive for killing."
Originally, Li Ling still showed a look of expectation on his face, but the next moment he suddenly became indifferent.
"Then today I will tell you that I killed the emperor, and the death of those girls was purely accidental, but the real damned person is already dead, if I were not forced to keep his blood in my body, I would not have appeared here, as for the throne, of course I have no intention of arguing."
For a person like him, who cultivates immortals, he has long been beyond the world, and the throne is certainly a symbol of supreme power in the eyes of ordinary people, but for him, one finger can crush an emperor to death.
"You've probably heard rumors about why I'm cultivating, but is that really what the rumors are?"
There was a hint of indifference and anger in his eyes, and he immediately said the things of the year without a trace.
"My mother used to live by the sea, but she was just a fisherwoman, and if she hadn't met that beast, she wouldn't have died early......
When the emperor came to the beach to inspect, he unexpectedly met his mother, Caixia.
Caixia was born very smart and refined, and let the emperor fall with just one glance.
The emperor's sweet words coaxed Caixia into the palace.
At first, in order to adapt to life in the palace, Caixia began to constantly correct her habits, and gradually became the imperial concubine of the six palaces.
But later, the emperor was restrained by the ministers, and many ministers successively admonished him.
"Because my mother's concubine is alone, the women stuffed in this group of ministers will naturally not make any progress, which also makes them very anxious, for fear that their eyeliner will be useless."
Even the queen's mother was very timid, but the queen, as the head of the palace, had long been accustomed to this kind of warmth and coldness, so she didn't let her family go to the emperor.
But the other backers behind the non-frequency have long been unable to bear it.
"Due to their continuous admonition, in the end, the Dog Emperor could only agree to snub my mother."
Although Caixia, who was left out in the cold, was a little resentful in her heart, but if you think about it carefully, since she chose to attack and have a husband with everyone, she should have expected such a consequence.
In those days when she was alone in the empty room, Caixia washed her face with tears all day long, and it was not until a magpie flew in the palace that she gradually changed her mentality.
It didn't take long for Caixia to start vomiting and have a pregnancy reaction.
"But after neglecting my mother for two months, my mother began to have obvious signs of pregnancy."
After the imperial doctor's examination, it was found that Caixia was pregnant, and the emperor at that time was overjoyed and continued to favor Caixia.
The two of them were like glue, which attracted the dissatisfaction of more ministers, but they did not dare to act rashly.
The harem concubines came up with endless means, all wanting Caixia to lose this child, but this child was blessed with a great fate, and in the end, not only did it take root, but it was also a dragon that everyone feared.
"My mother was soon called a demon concubine by this group of people, and they said that my mother was a female mermaid in the sea who would use illusions to confuse people, so the Dog Emperor would stay by my mother's side and linger."
But in fact, it was just this group of ministers who were afraid that in the end, the two would be favored by the emperor, and the son would become the crown prince in the future by virtue of his mother.
The ministers who were originally like a plate of scattered sand are also in perfect harmony at this moment.
The emperor couldn't stand the fact that this group of ministers always came to make trouble, and in the end he could only open one eye and close one eye.
"He knew very well that once he lost the assistance of this group of ministers, he would eventually lose the world, he was powerless to fight, and finally he could only choose to agree, so he came up with an idea, pretending to go out hunting, but in fact settled in a nearby mountain villa, but he didn't want to get blood on his own hands, so as to comfort his heart."
Li Ling's face became very indifferent, but his eyes were full of hatred, which was rarely seen in a person with self-cultivation.
Just after the emperor pretended to hunt, he arranged for the empress to kill his biological mother.
Caixia didn't know the specific situation, but when she heard that the queen wanted to set a fire, she was immediately afraid.
But Caixia didn't know that the queen didn't want to kill an innocent person at all, even if she knew that this woman would end up above herself, but she didn't want to be a sinful person.
"My mother mistakenly thought that the queen had done everything, so she hurried to find the emperor, and after several turnarounds, she finally found the dog emperor in the nearby villa."
