202 The King of the Dead 2

"Who's pretending to be a ghost there!"

The third prince's eyes widened in shock, but no matter how much he searched, he didn't see anyone else.

[No fuss about the host, you can't see me, you can only hear me.] ]

This so-called Mingjun cultivation system is naturally Yao Rong.

After receiving the memories and the plot, she has been thinking about how she should complete the mission.

The advice given by the system is to borrow the corpse to resurrect the soul, or attach it to a small animal, or use the dream technique to enter the dream of the three princes.

But Yao Rong felt that none of these three methods were suitable for her.

After careful consideration, she decided to disguise herself as the Ming Jun cultivation system, accompany the three princes, and guide the three princes little by little in the form of issuing tasks.

After the shock, the third prince calmed down.

He felt that this self-proclaimed "system" ...... Person? Let's just be human...... Every word she says is strange and incomprehensible.

Maybe he didn't sleep well today, so he hallucinated. The three princes comforted themselves and climbed down the tree with their hands and feet.

[Now release the main quest 1: Save Gui Sheng who is about to be pushed into the water.] A quarter of an hour is limited.

Complete the mission to get a starter pack and 100 points, and there is no penalty for failing the mission. ]

The third prince's brain was buzzing, and he almost didn't stand firm.

"What did you say, Gui Sheng fell overboard!?"

The third prince asked urgently, but received no response, only a huge red arrow appeared in his mind, as if to guide him to find Gui Sheng.

The third prince didn't know if the system was lying to him, but he didn't dare to gamble, and he couldn't afford to gamble.

A year ago, Chunyu, the palace maid who delivered him and took care of him growing up, was when she went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive things, in order to save the punished little palace maid Que'er, she made the concubine unhappy and was beaten to death.

Later, Que'er had nowhere to go, so Gui Sheng brought Que'er back.

Now the only person who remains by his side is Gui Sheng......

The third prince opened the gate of Changxin Palace, stumbled out in the direction pointed by the arrow.

As the last rays of the setting sun set, he finally saw the cotton cloth and charcoal scattered around the lake, as well as the corners of his clothes that were floating in the lake, through the lanterns hanging on the promenade across the lake.

"Gui Sheng!"

The third prince rushed to the lake, waded through the icy water, and reached out to pull Gui Sheng's arm.

If Gui Sheng was still awake, this move might be a bit risky, but at this time, Gui Sheng was already unconscious, and the three princes dragged Gui Sheng to the shore with all their might.

He was so tired that he couldn't breathe, but he didn't care about resting, he threw himself in front of Gui Sheng, and pressed Gui Sheng's chest with both hands: "Gui Sheng, Gui Sheng, wake up quickly!" ”

Gui Sheng spat out a few mouthfuls of water, but showed no signs of consciousness and did not respond to his call.

[The host completes the main quest 1 and gets the Starter Pack and 100 points.] ]

Strange voices rang out again.

As if grasping at some life-saving straw, the third prince said urgently: "You must have a way!" You must have a way to save Gui Sheng, right? ”

[The Starter Pack has been opened for the host, and the host has been given the Water Drop Pill.]

Falling Water Pill: As long as there is still a breath left after falling into the water, you can come back to life by taking this pill. ]

A black pill appeared in the palm of the third prince out of thin air.

[Host, hurry up and feed Gui Sheng the Falling Water Pill.] ]

The third prince still had no choice but to trust Yao Rong.

With trembling hands, he broke Gui Sheng's jaw and threw the pill into Gui Sheng's mouth.

The pill dissolves in the mouth.

In the next moment, Gui Sheng's breathing returned to calm, his body temperature slowly rose, and his pulse became stronger. He opened his eyes, looked at the third prince in a daze, and said in disbelief: "Your ...... Your Highness...... How did you end up here......"

The third prince raised his hand and wiped away the water stains and tears on his face: "I ......"

[The host cannot disclose the existence of the system to anyone.] ]

The third prince subconsciously looked at Gui Sheng.

Gui Sheng didn't seem to hear this voice at all.

The third prince changed his words: "I quietly ran out after you." Gui Sheng, I'll talk about these things later, I'll help you go back to rest first. ”

The water pill could save Gui Sheng's life, but there was no way to cure the disease, Gui Sheng walked back to the palace with force, barely changed into clean clothes, and fainted again, lying on the bed shivering from the cold.

The third prince closed all the windows, ran to the next room again, and brought his quilt to Gui Sheng, who still shouted coldly.

There was no charcoal in the palace, only some firewood left, just when the third prince was thinking about whether to use firewood to make a fire for warmth, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and ran out of Changxin Palace, and came to the lake again in the dark.

The cotton cloth and charcoal that Gui Sheng received were still scattered around, and the third prince breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, everything was there. He crouched down, picked them up one by one, and made a charcoal fire out of the undamp charcoal.

The charcoal distributed to him by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the lowest charcoal, and no palace people with a little status will use it. When the charcoal fire dispelled the cold, it also rose so thick that it was choking.

But even with such inferior charcoal, there was only such a small bag in the Changxin Palace.

The third prince put the charcoal basin next to Gui Sheng's bed, moved the position to make sure that the smoke and dust would not smoke Gui Sheng's eyes, and whispered, "This should be warmer." ”

[A merciful king should have a loving heart.]

To encourage the host to keep up the good work, the system rewards a lucky draw entry and 10 points.

Is the host going to draw now? ]

The third prince was stunned: "...... Be. ”

[Lottery in progress......]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining 2 thermostatic quilts and 10 catties of silver silk charcoal of the best quality.] Does the host want to use it now? ]

The third prince said "yes" again.

The charcoal basin that had been smoky and burning suddenly lost its smoke and dust.

The third prince picked up the small wooden stick that had been thrown next to him and tried to poke it.

The charcoal is broken and has a smooth texture, much like the legendary smokeless silver silk charcoal.

He reached for the quilt again.

The appearance of the quilt is still tattered, but the cotton core, which was originally cold and hard and no longer has much warmth effect, has regained its softness and warmth.

The third prince looked at Gui Sheng and made sure that Gui Sheng was asleep, so he left the room lightly.

[Can you trust me now?] ]

The moonlight flowed down like water, and the third prince sat on the cold steps and asked in a low voice, "Gui Sheng can't hear your voice, right?" ”

[Of course, in this world, only you can know my existence and hear my voice.] ]

"Excuse me...... Are you a god? ”

[I'm not a god.] ]

The third prince said in his heart that he could predict Gui Sheng falling into the water, that a water pill could appear out of thin air, and that he could quietly replace charcoal and quilts......

Isn't this a fairy trick?

He pursed his lips, thinking about how to ask so as not to anger him: "Are you human?" ”

[Yes.] ]

Knowing that the other party was a human, the third prince breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably: "Then why do you call yourself a system." ”

[This brings me to where I came from and who I am.] ]

Yao Rong opened the Dafa of flickering: [Have you heard of the deeds of the founding emperor of Daye? ]

The third prince said honestly: "No. ”

[At the end of the previous dynasty, the heroes were divided and wars broke out, and Emperor Taizu was escorted by cool officials to dig a canal, and he dug up the Heshi Bi, which had been missing for thousands of years. Since then, Emperor Taizu has been like a divine helper, unifying the north and south in just ten years and establishing Daye. ]

The third prince frowned slightly: "You mean ......"

Yao Rong intercepted his words and said in a tone of great affirmation: [That's right. There is a saying in the world that has been passed down for thousands of years: and the family's bi, the jade seal of the country, can win the world. ]

[People in the world think that the preciousness of He's Bi lies in the fact that it is the imperial seal, but they don't know that it is because there is a Mingjun cultivation system in He's Bi. ] ]

The third prince blinked, and he didn't know whether to believe or not: "I have never seen any heirloom jade seals. ”

[Before Emperor Taizu died, he ordered Qin Tian to calculate a hexagram and calculate that there would be a catastrophe one hundred and fifty years after Daye's inheritance. Once this catastrophe is not overcome, Daye will perish, and the world will once again fall into war and displacement. ]

[I owe Emperor Tai a favor.] He begged me to wake up after a hundred and fifty years and help the Daye royal family survive this catastrophe. ]

[And you are the one I have chosen.] ]

[I will train you to become a generation of Ming Jun just like I did when I cultivated Emperor Taizu.] ]

The Third Prince: "......"

"Anyway, thank you for saving Gui Sheng."

[No thanks.] ]

Yao Rong reminded: [The falling water pill can only save his life, not the medicine. His body was already uncomfortable, and falling into the water could have aggravated his condition. ]

[However, as long as you complete the task I have issued, you will be able to obtain the right herbs for the symptoms, and you can also obtain various materials to improve your living conditions.] ]

“…… Why should you help me? ”

"I mean, saving Gui Sheng and obtaining herbs and supplies doesn't seem to have anything to do with cultivating Mingjun."

[Helping you solve your troubles and taking care of the people around you are all necessary emotional investments in the early stage, and they are also to win your trust.] ]

[Besides, having a good living environment allows you to put all your energy into studying.] ]

The third prince was in a trance.

Yao Rong smiled and asked deliberately, "Do you know what Mingjun is?" ]

The Third Prince: "...... Why me? ”

He hadn't read much, but he still knew what "Mingjun" meant.

[You are the best fit.] ]

If it were an ordinary child, he might be excited by Yao Rong's words.

But the third prince didn't believe it at all.

He was sober and sane.

He was born in the cold palace and grew up in the cold palace, he neither had a powerful foreign family to rely on, nor was he valued and favored by the emperor, and the six arts of the gentleman were even more incomprehensible. Except for the fact that he has half of the royal blood in his body, he does not have any capital to become an emperor.

He didn't even have the ambition to become emperor.

After all, a person like him, who is even struggling to live well, what qualifications does he have to think about the throne? That's too self-indulgent, too whimsical.

However, the third prince will not say what is in his heart.

What if the system listened to him, became disappointed in him, abandoned him like a magpie, and chose to help other princes?

Gui Sheng has not yet passed the danger, no matter how this misunderstanding was caused, whether the system is lying to him or not, now he needs the help of the system.

[For the sake of the host being frightened today, the system will give the host a pot of ginger soup for free, please go to the kitchen to get it by yourself.] ]

The third prince got up and walked to the kitchen.

There weren't many containers in the kitchen, and the eyes of the three princes quickly locked on the crockpot.

He lifted the lid of the crockpot, and the rich smell of ginger soup came to his nose.

Although it was not the first time to witness the system's means, the third prince was still shocked.

He took out a bowl, poured ginger soup into the bowl, and tried to take a sip of it, almost choking.

Yao Rong seemed to know what he was thinking: [The ginger flavor is heavy, and the effect of repelling cold is good.] ]

The Third Prince: "......"

What can the three princes do.

He could only pinch his nose and pour it all down in one go.

[Remind the host, it's the time of day.]

How could a valiant king not have a strong physique, and ask the host to settle the dinner on his own.

Completing the task rewards three herbs for treating wind, cold and cough and 10 points, and there is no penalty for failing the task. ]

In the middle of the night, Gui Sheng really had a high fever.

The third prince had already obtained the right medicine through the task, he wet the towel with cold water, wrung it out, put it on Gui Sheng's forehead, and hurriedly ran to the kitchen to decoct the medicine.

Finally, the medicine was decocted, and the sky gradually brightened.

[Congratulations to the host for completing the decoction, and reward breakfast for two and 10 points.] ]

A pitch-black food box appeared in front of the three princes.

The food box is ordinary and has three layers.

On the lower floor, there are two bowls of thick millet porridge, the rice grains are full and expanded, and there is a layer of light rice oil floating on the porridge surface, and the rice fragrance is accompanied by the rising heat.

In the middle layer, there are side dishes for porridge to eat, which are in excellent condition and very appetizing at first glance.

The top layer is filled with jujube cakes.

The third prince opened it and glanced at it, with a smile on his face. Originally, he was still worried about how to solve breakfast, but he didn't expect the system to solve it for him directly. These foods are light and nutritious, and the portions are also sufficient, which is suitable for Gui Sheng to eat now.

The third prince carried a food box and a medicine bowl to wake up Gui Sheng.

Gui Sheng crawled up in a daze.

Seeing that breakfast was so sumptuous, he felt a little strange in his heart.

The third prince casually confused and asked about Gui Sheng's falling into the water.

Gui Sheng covered his head and recalled.

When he got out of the cold palace, he went straight to the Internal Affairs Office, and finally received the supplies, and he walked back with his things.

As he approached the lake, he saw two eunuchs standing in the corner chatting, a little far away, and he could not hear what the two were talking about, and he did not want to get into trouble, so he hastened his steps and left the place as quickly as possible.

As a result, as soon as he walked some distance, two eunuchs rushed up from behind, covered his mouth and dragged him to the lake......

Recalling this, Gui Sheng's head began to hurt again: "If His Highness hadn't arrived in time, the old slave might have drowned in the lake." ”

The third prince handed the cold medicine to Gui Sheng and asked him to drink the medicine quickly, and then sleep well after drinking the medicine: "The most important thing for you now is to take care of your body, everything else is secondary." ”

The medicine for wind and cold had a calming effect, and Gui Sheng soon fell asleep again.

The third prince walked out of the room with the empty medicine bowl, and his face turned cold a little.

Obviously, the two eunuchs were killing people.

When Gui Sheng passed by the lake, the two eunuchs were probably plotting something. They weren't sure if Gui Sheng had heard what they said, and they were afraid that the matter would be revealed, so they simply didn't do anything and killed Gui Sheng to prevent future troubles.

There was only a short time between when Gui Sheng passed by the lake and when Gui Sheng was pushed off the lake.

The more decisive and ruthless they are, the more they show that what they are plotting is extraordinary.

If they knew that Gui Sheng was not dead, would they give up?

If those people were a little more vicious, maybe even he wouldn't let him go. Because those people have no way to guarantee whether Gui Sheng will reveal the matter to him, and whether he will also be an insider.

He didn't know who was standing behind those people, but seeing that they were acting so rampantly, their master must have a high status in the palace. Is it difficult to quietly kill a prince who grew up in a cold palace?

Thinking of this, a wave of anger rose in the hearts of the three princes.

He and Gui Sheng have never harmed anyone, all they ask for is "peace", but now, there is no way to guarantee even "peace".

He couldn't save Aunt Chunyu.

By the time he learned the news, Aunt Chunyu had already been beaten to death.

Is he going to sit back and watch those people kill Gui Sheng now?

No, we must not sit idly by.

If he didn't know anything that would keep him and Gui Sheng safe, he would definitely ignore it. But in this case, if you still pretend to be a quail, you probably don't even know how you died.

But what could he do?

He didn't even know what those two chief eunuchs were like.

Suddenly, as if remembering something, the third prince tentatively said, "Do you know what all this is all about? ”

[I know.] ]

"Can you tell me?"

Yao Rong confirmed to him: [Are you sure you want to know?] ]

The third prince nodded, and his tone was firm: "Sure." ”

[Okay, you can buy the truth of the matter from me with 100 points, please ask if you want to buy it.] ]

The third prince couldn't wait to say, "Buy." ”:,,
