Early the next morning, Xu Tong arrived at the gate of the Forbidden Palace.
After these days of chaos, the court finally resumed its administration.
Today is the first day that Empress Dowager Shengci officially attends court.
This time she did not sit behind the dragon chair, but sat on it openly.
It seems that he wants to take this opportunity to declare his status.
But the effect was not ideal. Although the ministers were very sure of the Empress Dowager Shengci's move to depose the emperor, they were very dissatisfied with the Empress Dowager Shengci's buttocks sitting on the dragon throne.
Even though you have supported three emperors in your life, the real power of the court is always in your hands.
But your ass really can't sit on this chair openly.
Therefore, in the court, no matter how the Empress Dowager Shengci guided the topic, the courtiers who controlled public opinion would not pick up the conversation. Instead, they kept recommending Prince Gong as the new emperor.
This is probably something that the Empress Dowager Shengci never expected.
But can this be accomplished? Of course not. When you, Prince Gong, come to power, I will be thrown into the cold palace to retire. This is something that the Empress Dowager Shengci cannot tolerate.
Therefore, the content of today's court meeting is naturally complicated and boring as you can imagine.
"Buzz!!"
Xu Tong pushed open the door of Qintian Prison and bumped into Li Xi who was cleaning the room.
The two of them looked at each other and stared at each other. Li Xi's expression was dull for a few seconds, and the tears in his eyes could not help but roll down his cheeks.
“Brother Marco!!”
The person he was calling was Brother Ma, but his enthusiasm was no less than when he saw his own father.
"younger brother!!"
Facing Li Xi's enthusiasm, Xu Tong also cried with joy. Although there were no tears on his face, his hoarse and choked vibrato sounded like there was already a scene in his chest like a surging river.
For a moment, the two of them stood together, their faces filled with the joy of meeting again after a long separation.
This is not just superficial, but the voices in my heart are almost the same.
“How come this guy isn’t dead yet??”
Not only was Xu Tong depressed, but Li Xi was also unhappy.
But the outstanding acting skills of the two made the guards patrolling around them deeply moved by their brotherly love.
"Ahem!"
At this moment, an untimely cough interrupted the two people's cries.
Looking back, the two of them were staring at each other. Xu Tong was frightened, and Li Xi was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Fu...Master Fu!"
The person walking in front of me was none other than Fu Anning.
"What kind of behavior is it to cry and cry? All the work that needs to be done has been done??"
Fu Anning scolded him coldly.
Neither of them dared to look up. Xu Tong stared at Fu Anning's shadow with squinted eyelids.
I couldn't help but wonder whether the person in front of me was the eldest princess or someone else.
But one thing he can be sure of is that this person is definitely not Fu Anning.
"Master Yang was killed by a rebellious minister and traitor. Now Qintian Supervisor is very busy with work. You two must work more carefully in the future and never be careless."
"yes!"
Fu Anning nodded, glanced at Xu Tonghou and said, "Come in with me."
After saying that, he walked into Qintian Hall first. Xu Tong walked in and carefully closed the door.
I saw Fu Anning sitting on a chair, scanning Xu Tong up and down: "Have you brought everything I asked you to bring?"
I don't know why, but when he heard this sentence, Xu Tong felt more at ease and nodded: "I brought it here, but..."
"But what??"
Fu Anning frowned.
"But I didn't say anything. I was just a little unhappy when I heard you say that one person has one share of dragon energy."
Xu Tong lowered his voice and couldn't help but swallow after speaking.
She silently observed the changes in the expression of the princess in front of her with her eyes.
This is a kind of temptation. These two people are already well-known figures. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are land gods.
But Xu Tong wanted to try to see if the two of them were really as omniscient as the rumors said.
After reading through the Plum Blossom Yishu for so long, even the Life Eye Qimen has been upgraded to level 4, but even so, I still need to calculate the results myself when divining the divination.
Therefore, he concluded that even land gods like the princess and Taoist Xunlong could not be considered omniscient and omnipotent in everything.
If that were the case, the two of them wouldn't need to use their little minions to convey news to each other.
The eldest princess was silent for a while, and finally said: "I understand."
As the eldest princess walked up to Xu Tong, Xu Tong could feel a pair of eager eyes staring at his neck, and he could even hear the sound of swallowing.
"Help us do things and we won't treat you badly."
The eldest princess casually threw the two keys on the table: "The things on the second floor are all good things. Go and see for yourself."
After saying this, Xu Tong felt a heat on his neck. When he lowered his head, he discovered that a cut had opened on his neck. Blood was flowing out from the wound. He didn't know when it had soaked half of his collar.
Looking back again, I found that the princess was gone.
"Buzz..."
Li Xi poked his head out of the door: "Brother Ma? Brother Ma?"
Just after shouting twice, I suddenly saw Xu Tong's face, and I was instantly startled: "Brother Ma... are you still alive?"
Xu Tong stepped out from the shadows, but his face showed a sickly paleness.
"fine!"
As soon as the words fell, Xu Tong's eyes darkened and he fell to the ground.
In my sleep... a familiar wailing sound sounded in my ears again.
A door full of rust opened.
The guy with a face exactly like his own sat elegantly in front of the piano, tapping the piano keys lightly with his fingers.
"You are in danger now."
He raised his head and looked at Xu Tong, with a complaining tone, he lifted up his cuffs and saw a burnt scar on his gray arm.
"This is the price for helping you last time. You shouldn't have summoned me during the day."
Xu Tong licked the corner of his mouth, feeling that his throat was so dry that he wanted to spit out fire. When he saw the glass of wine on the piano, he knew that it was not real, but he still stepped forward to pick up the glass and drank it in one gulp.
"If I didn't do that, I would be a rotting corpse now, and oh, by the way, even my soul might end up on someone else's dinner plate."
After speaking, he raised his glass and said, "Have some more, it tastes really good."
"I don't care about what happened last time, but I don't hope that next time, your current body will not be able to fully inherit my power, so..."
The Demon King moved his face closer, and his expression gradually became ferocious: "So, I ask you, little guy, to find a secluded corner and live quietly."
"Can I understand that this is a kind reminder from you??"
"No! You should understand that this is my last warning!"
When the Demon King finished saying this, he snatched the wine glass from Xu Tong's hand and pushed it hard towards his chest. The next moment, Xu Tong's consciousness gradually began to recover.
"Brother Marco, Brother Marco!!"
The urgent shouting in his ears made him slowly open his heavy eyelids.
As the blurred vision began to focus, Li Xi's face appeared in front of Xu Tong's eyes.
"Huh, Brother Ma, you're finally awake. You didn't know that you almost scared me to death just now."
Li Xi said and quickly picked up the soup bowl on the side: "Quick, drink some more. Someone from the Tai Hospital came just now. They said you were anemic and prescribed a lot of medicinal soup for you. I..."
Li Xi said, checking the left and right, and then whispered: "I also stole a century-old wild ginseng... root from the Imperial Hospital, and added it to it, which is guaranteed to be a great supplement."
Xu Tong nodded, picked up the bowl and drank heavily. He was sure that this stuff was a great tonic. After all, Li Xi's nose was still bleeding.
After taking a large bowl of medicinal soup, Xu Tong felt much better.
He reached out and touched his neck and found that the wound had healed.
"How long have I slept??"
"Two hours."
Xu Tong nodded, scolding the eldest princess for being such a crazy bitch, and almost sucked himself dry.
If he smoked it once a day, even if he had a dark constitution, he wouldn't be able to withstand her mistreatment.
Li Xi looked at Xu Tong who woke up, and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing that he didn't seem to wake up completely, he didn't open his mouth.
He just told Xu Tong to have a good rest and walked out with the bowl in hand.
After Li Xi went out, Xu Tong held his chin in his hands and thought about his current situation.
His current situation is that he is surrounded on all sides. Not only is he caught in the cracks and may be easily crushed to death by the opponent at any time, but he also has to find a way to seek a possible comeback.
Thinking about it, Xu Tong sighed and turned his eyes to the two keys on the table.
"Kaka..."
The twisting sound of the iron door slowly sounded. When the door was pushed open, a musty smell of books poured into the nose. This was the second floor of Qintian Prison.
It is also the Qintian Supervisor who keeps the most confidential documents in the world.
Normally, it would have been impossible for Xu Tong to come in with his identity, but now both keys fell into his hands.
"Xiangxi... Yin Yang Cave..."
Looking at the geographical tags posted on the file shelf, Xu Tong began to search for them.
"found it!"
Finally, Xu Tong found the location of Xiangxi on the left side of the bookshelf. No matter what, it was still a worthwhile trip to find the information he was looking for.
However, just when Xu Tong was about to reach out and pick up the file above, his expression suddenly froze because he saw a bloody hand pressing on the file first.
"If I were you, I wouldn't get this file, at least not directly like you are doing now."
The familiar voice made Xu Tong's scalp feel tense for a moment. He turned around slowly, and a blurry outline of flesh and blood in the shadow gradually became clear.
That person is none other than Fu An Ning, Lord Fu, who has gone and returned!
