Chapter 38 Arriving at the palace!

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

It was already late at night, but the oil lamp in the imperial study was still on, and Emperor Hui was at his desk reviewing memorials.

The old eunuch next to him stood silently with his whisk in his arms, covering his mouth and yawning from time to time.

On the lamp, a moth was constantly spinning around the lamp, making a "buzzing" sound. The bored old eunuch wanted to reach out and swat it to death, but was afraid of disturbing Emperor Hui, so he could only stare at it with squinted eyes.

Hold it.

"Pfft."

Finally, the little thing threw himself into the light and was burned to death.

Suddenly, the old eunuch's brows relaxed, his squinted eyes gradually opened, and he seemed to finally feel comfortable.

But this slight movement made Emperor Hui, who was concentrating on reviewing the memorial, come back to his senses. He opened another memorial with a writing brush and asked without raising his head: "Li Quan, what time is it?"

The old eunuch quickly replied: "Your Majesty, it's midnight, you really should rest."

"It doesn't matter, you can go down first. There has been a flood in Lanzhou recently, and I still need to arrange disaster relief," Emperor Hui said.

The old eunuch looked at the figure in front of him that he had grown up watching since childhood, and sighed: "Old servant, please stay with your majesty."

"good."

Emperor Hui didn't say much, but then he suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have the people from Qintian Prison come back?"

"Your Majesty, not yet." The old eunuch said cautiously.

"Um?"

Emperor Hui raised his head and frowned slightly. With the speed of Qin Tianjian, he should have been back in half a day, unless...

"Wow——"

At this moment, the oil lamp on the desk suddenly burst into flames, and a red fire dragon spiraled out from it and floated in the imperial study room.

"Who the devil dares to break into the palace?!"

The old eunuch shouted, pulled out a narrow sword from his fly whisk, and stepped in front of Emperor Hui.

He turned out to be a martial arts master!

"You...who are you?"

Emperor Hui looked at the blazing fire dragon in the air, with a look of shock on his face. This was the first time in his life that he had seen such a strange look.

After all, in the palace, the fire of mortals is at its peak, and demons and ghosts cannot get close at all. Even if a cultivator enters the palace, he will be suppressed by the fire of mortals and the luck of the emperor, and lose all his magic power, just like ordinary people.

This led to the fact that as an emperor, he had not actually seen any magic, at most he had only heard about it.

"Aren't you looking for me?"

The fire dragon looked down at Emperor Hui condescendingly, and the flames around him "chichi", making a majestic sound.

"You...you are Bai Ze?! How did you enter the palace!" the old eunuch shouted in horror, and the hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

He is not afraid of death.

He was only afraid that the sword in his hand could not protect the person behind him.

"I can come whenever I want, who can stop me?"

The fire dragon glanced at him, then stared at Emperor Hui with his eyes like flaming dragon beads, and said lightly: "Whether the national destiny will last depends on God's will and the people's hearts. Those who work hard and love the people will naturally last forever. If you want to suppress the national destiny through external objects,

, extending the country to Zuo is nothing more than a fool’s dream.”

Emperor Hui trembled, thinking deeply, then took a deep breath, cupped his hands and said, "I... have been taught."

The fire dragon circled in the air and said: "I see that you are diligent in government affairs, manage the country reasonably well, and can barely be considered a good emperor. I will spare your life today, but... you can be exempted from death penalty, but you cannot escape from living crime!"

"

Wow!

As soon as the words fell, the flames surged, illuminating the entire imperial study room, and even the firelight was reflected outside.

"There is an assassin!!"

"Protect Your Majesty!"

The guards shouted loudly outside, and then the sound of rapid footsteps and the sound of armor clashing came from far to near.

However, what is the use of this?

Distant water cannot save nearby fire, and even if it comes, what's the use? As long as the flame is strong enough, it can also evaporate water!

"Boom!"

The old eunuch knelt down directly on the ground and kowtowed with tears in his eyes: "Please have mercy, sir, and let your majesty go! I was the one who slandered your majesty. The blame lies with me. Your majesty is innocent!"

"Bang bang bang!"

He kowtowed so hard that his forehead bled.

"Li Quan!"

Emperor Hui shouted, pulled him up, then took two steps forward, held his head high and said: "Today's matter is just a matter of victory and defeat. Since you have come to kill me, I have nothing to say, so let me do whatever you want."

Deal with it! But please don’t hurt the innocent people in the palace.”

"good!"

The fire dragon's eyes glowed brightly, and then it swooped down and penetrated directly through Emperor Hui's body!

Emperor Hui's body froze.

"His Majesty!!"

The old eunuch let out a shrill roar and quickly came to help Emperor Hui, but found that there was no wound on his chest.

"Wow!"

The fire dragon circled in the air and dissipated, leaving only a majestic voice echoing in the imperial study.

"Three years of your life will be cut off, a small punishment but a big punishment, so you can take care of yourself."

After a few seconds, Emperor Hui slowly lowered his head and looked at his chest, while large beads of sweat fell down his forehead.

"I...am not dead?"

He said in a trembling voice, and then his legs weakened and he fell to the ground. The old eunuch's legs also weakened and he sat on the ground, feeling like he was surviving a disaster.

The master and servant sat on the ground and looked at each other. After being silent for a while, they both burst into laughter!

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

No matter what, it is a great joy to save a life. Is there anything more joyful than this?

"boom!"

"Your Majesty, we are here!"

At this time, the people in the royal study were kicked away, and a group of armored guards with knives and spears rushed in.

"It's okay, let's all go out."

Emperor Hui glanced at everyone, waved his hand and said.

"Yes Yes Yes!"

"I resign from my humble position!"

The guards quickly retreated, even closed the door, and then ran away anxiously.

They suddenly broke open the door and saw His Majesty and the Chief Steward sitting on the ground without any image... Is this what they should see? They saw something they shouldn't see. If they don't run away quickly, their lives may be lost.

"Li Quan, tell me, am I really deprived of three years of my life?"

After a long time, Emperor Hui asked.

The old eunuch was silent for a moment and sighed: "Judging from that person's magical power, I'm afraid... it's true."

"Well, you should pay a price for doing something wrong. If someone offended me, I'm afraid his head would be cut off. In comparison, that person is already very tolerant. I would like to thank him for not killing him.

"

Emperor Hui took out a breath and chuckled.

The old eunuch nodded silently.

"I just don't know how he entered the palace." Emperor Hui had doubts in his eyes.

It stands to reason that no matter how strong the monster is, it is impossible to completely ignore the flames of the imperial palace. At least there will be conflicts.

But that person came in silently, and the palace's mortal fire showed no reaction at all.
