390 Royal Choice of Concubines 2
"Father, there are enough women in the son's mansion, so let's have a spell competition, just to justifiably eliminate some, and the son's ears are also cleaner. The third prince said a little irritably.
"Emperor, the queen mother was originally optimistic about Ling Chen, but I heard that he was pregnant with a royal child, do you want to eliminate her too?" the queen said casually.
"Father, mother, and royal children are gone. If she can win the spell competition, she will still be a woman in the Three Kings' Mansion, and if she can't do the Three Kings' Mansion, she won't raise waste. ”
"Emperor, how could it be gone, it's a sin to not take care of the royal heirs, you don't want to pursue it. The queen asked with interest.
"Queen Mother, things are very complicated, and Erchen hasn't figured it out until now, and when Erchen understands it, he will talk to his father and queen mother in detail. There is not a single woman in the fifth brother's house, let's talk about the fifth brother's concubine. The third prince didn't want to say more, so he shifted his target.
"Yes, Lao Wu, in previous years, you were a heel and disappeared, and this year you didn't leave to care about your marriage, and the entire Red Eagle Continent is sending girls with high skills and spells into the capital, waiting for the spell competition to be elected to the royal family. This is also a major event related to the royal secret room, which opens every three years. ”
"Father, as well as the eldest brother, second brother and fourth brother, the retainer already has a favorite person, and the retainer doesn't want any powerful woman. ”
"Nonsense, your elder brothers are sick and walking, only you and the third child are normal, the father has reached the age of the Zen throne, the royal secret room has not been really opened, and the emperor of the father has done it in vain for decades. ”
"Father, how can you say that, one year and three years. How come the Chamber of Secrets hasn't really been opened yet? The fifth prince asked.
"Old Five, every year you are indifferent to these things, and you don't know the legend about the secret room. The royal secret room seals the secrets of this continent, there are five layers of secret rooms, and your queen mother's magic is strong back then, and your mother has not even opened one layer. There are already countless treasures and things in this layer alone. Over the years, no woman has been able to surpass your queen mother and open the secret room. ”
"Father, these sons and daughters already know, can the secret room only be opened by women, can't we?" asked the third prince unconvinced.
"Emperor, this is the law passed down from the royal family. The emperors and princes of the past dynasties, as well as those who were unconvinced and did not believe in evil, were all blocked by the huge magic power before they reached the secret room within a hundred steps, and they often had to be raised in bed for a long time. As a result, the body's aura stores are also impaired. These are recorded in the vault on the first floor. It is also the family rules that we must keep in mind when our royal family inherits. ”
The emperor said slowly, with deep helplessness in his expression. These words resonated in the ears of the third prince, and the scene said by the emperor seemed to be a familiar experience. He didn't know how he could feel this way, and looked at the people around him suspiciously.
Sitting in the corner is the eldest prince, a stupid person who never knows the taste of sorrow, and on the other side is the second child, who is in his father's imperial study, but his heart does not know where it is, and what is still carved in his hands. Then there is the fifth child, the prodigal son who sat here for the first time, and his expression was very serious and dedicated. The third prince felt inexplicably troubled in his heart, and he always felt that he had lost something in his head?
"Third Emperor, it's not the first time you've heard of this, why do you still look like that. In previous years, the women in your house have tried, and they can't even get close to the periphery of the secret room. This year, I will call Ling Chen to come over and try it, she is a descendant of the Ling family's manor, maybe there will be some amazing performance. It's just that I don't know if she can raise her well after a miscarriage. The queen looked at the third prince suspiciously.
"Ling Chen?" When the third prince heard Ling Chen's name, his head thundered as if he had been struck by lightning. What had happened in the Ling family's secret room was like water bursting into his consciousness all at once. The third prince hugged his head and screamed in pain.
"Ahhh
"Quickly send the imperial doctor over!Emperor, what's wrong with you, what do you remember?" the emperor anxiously ordered, and then asked worriedly. Of his five sons, only two are normal, but he can't lose one.
The eldest prince over there was so frightened that he cried. The second prince glanced at the emperor and queen with annoyance and left the imperial study. He didn't dare to be interested in these things, everything was fake, only happiness was true, and happiness had to stay away from the court, this was the advice of his mother and concubine rooted in his bones.
The fifth prince looked at all this coldly, and after leaving Ling Xi's courtyard, he mobilized his own people and began to re-investigate the death of his mother and his own injury by spells. After checking and checking, they all found that this is not something that can be done by spells on this continent. He originally wanted to wait for Ling Xi to come back to discuss, but he was summoned into the palace by the emperor. Seeing the appearance of the third prince, he suddenly remembered Concubine Zhen, who was the mother of the third prince.
Back then, she and her mother were selected into the palace together and became the women of her father who had just ascended the throne. It was also in that year that the queen opened the first floor of the secret room, thus establishing the queen's position.
Later, the queen's only child was born stupid, and her mother died without waking up. The mother of the second prince also lingered on the bedside and died after a few years. The mother concubine of the fourth prince disappeared inexplicably. Only she escaped into Buddhism because she was jealous of her later concubines.
When the fifth prince found out here, his suspicion of Concubine Zhen was even greater. This time the entire continent chose a concubine, and it was also the first time for the court, if it weren't for the hurdle where the father and emperor reached the Zen throne, they would not have accepted the world's powerful beauties into the imperial city with such fanfare.
When the imperial doctor arrived, the third prince had already recovered, and his head didn't hurt so much, but he was still confused, and he didn't talk to anyone and thought about things dementia. The puppet is generally allowed to be fed the pill by the imperial doctor.
"Back to the emperor, the third prince should have been erased from his memory, and then suddenly remembered it due to fate, causing a large fluctuation in spiritual power, and people have a short period of discomfort, most of which are severe pain in the head. With the chaos of sanity, if it is a person with poor spell attainment, it is very likely that he will be stupid and stupid in the future. The imperial doctor was busy treating the third prince just now, and when he was done, he reported to the emperor, knelt on the ground with his head bowed and waited for the finish, only to find that the big prince who was crying over there had a snotty face, and he knelt down again in front of the queen's feet in fright, and kowtowed vigorously to forgive his sins.
"The queen mother forgives her sins, the old slave is blind and has offended the eldest prince. ”
"Whether this palace can forgive you or not depends on your own performance. This palace just wants to ask you, is the stupidity of the eldest prince also the same as the third prince? As long as you answer truthfully, you must not hide it, and this palace will forgive you for the crime of disrespect just now. ”
"Return, go back to the queen's mother, is the eldest prince the same as the third prince, this old slave can't be diagnosed, when the eldest prince came into the world, the old slave has not yet entered the palace. But the old slave heard from his ancestors that as long as he could get the Three Souls Pill, a disease like the Great Prince would be cured. The Imperial Physician said with trepidation.
"What is the Three Soul Pills? Tell me specifically, the most important thing that the royal family lacks is gold, silver and jewelry, as long as there is something on this continent, the palace can get it. The queen said hopefully.
"Back to the queen's mother, if the old slave remembers well, it should be to replenish the soul, strengthen the soul, and... Soul rejuvenation, this is the Three Soul Elixir. But the ancestral inheritance said that no one on this continent could refine this high-grade elixir. ”
"Then how did your ancestors pass it on?" the queen roared angrily just after having hope and being doused with cold water.
"Back to the queen's mother, how many generations of things have been passed down by the ancestors, the old slave can't tell. ”
"Ahhh The imperial doctor had no choice but to get up and go over to treat the third prince.
The third prince had a headache when he heard the Three Souls Pill, and he only felt that the name of the Three Souls Pill was very familiar, but he smashed his head with his fist, but he couldn't remember anything anymore. The memory in his mind came to an abrupt end here, which made him full of irritability, and he didn't care about the emperor and the people in the imperial study, so he ran out of the palace with his head in his hands.
"Old Imperial Doctor, what you just said is true, as long as you find the Three Soul Pill, the Great Prince will hopefully get better. The emperor didn't care about the three princes, and asked calmly.
"If you go back to the emperor, the old slave doesn't dare to deceive the emperor and the queen, the old slave is also a parent, how can he not understand this pain. The Three Souls Elixir is a legend and a hope. ”
"Old Imperial Doctor, will the things that the Third Lord forgot have anything to do with the Three Soul Pills, just now before he ran out, he seemed to shout that he had seen the Three Souls Pills. The queen asked, thinking about it.
"Queen Mother, this old slave doesn't know. ”
"Come on, go and find out where the three princes have been some time ago?" the queen ordered, and then left the imperial study with the stupid eldest prince.
"Old Five, why didn't you change sex this year, who did you just say that you already have a favorite?" Seeing that only the fifth prince and himself were left in the imperial study, the emperor remembered what he had just said and asked.
"Father, my son-in-law was killed by a spell some time ago, and he almost couldn't wake up for a long time like his mother. The retainers don't want to get involved in the affairs of the court, and they don't dare to be interested in the throne, but they have let our mother and son go. How the mother died back then, and how the sons were hurt, these sons have to figure it out. As for the person who Erchen likes, he will naturally know when the spell competition comes. ”
"Is it Ling Xi, the head of the Lan family?"
"Father, yes or no, it is the choice of the son, and the son will not marry her in this life. ”
"I have no objection to Ling Xi, it's just that she had a marriage contract with the third prince before, and now the third prince still thinks about her, have you thought of this?"
"Why should Erchen think that Ling Xi's father and mother are back now, and her marriage should also be decided by her father and mother, what does it have to do with others. ”
"Ah! The second eldest of the Ling family is back, and that Lan Mengdie is also back, what time is it? The emperor was puzzled.
