The guard who committed suicide was carried down. After Liu Huo heard the report, he didn't say anything, just frowned, then waved his hand and sent the servant who reported the report down.
After Duanmu Yunji returned to the palace, she did not seek explanation from the emperor. She felt guilty and was afraid that a thorough investigation of the matter would reveal the truth. Liu Hongjing happened to be upset about the princess' affairs, so she did not ask too much about the matter.
Although she was a little sad to lose her grandson, she couldn't help but feel ecstatic when she thought that Liuhuo's great cause would soon be completed and she would be the high-ranking empress dowager. "I have waited too long!"
Early that morning, she stood under the cherry blossom tree in front of the porch, smelling the fragrance of the cherry blossoms, closing her eyes slightly, and fell into fantasy again. She saw Liu Huo wearing a dragon robe, sitting on a dragon chair, and attending the palace with all the civil and military officials.
Long live the mountain, and a proud smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Empress!" A sinister voice sounded behind her, frightening her to her senses. She turned around angrily, only to see Tong Fu'an kneeling in front of her.
"Why did you come into the palace? Come in and talk!" Duanmu Yunji looked around, waved her hand to dismiss everyone, and brought Tong Fu'an into the palace.
Tong Fu'an was hunched over, clutching his chest and coughing uncontrollably. He looked like he was seriously ill and stood pitifully in front of Duanmu Yunji.
"Are you injured? How could you sneak into the palace? Are you not afraid that the emperor will kill you?" Duanmu Yunji asked.
"Your Majesty, this slave was hurt by Princess Dongling's little hooves. She couldn't help but stab him, and he also went crazy and messed up his meridians. Now he urgently needs to practice martial arts. If he doesn't return to the palace, it will be inconvenient for him to find medicine." Tong Fu'an's silver basin.
His face was pale, like a ghost from hell.
Duanmu Yunji looked at her and suddenly shuddered. She asked: "Is the medicine attracted by the human heart?"
"Exactly." Tong Fu'an replied.
Duanmu Yunji frowned and fell silent. After a while, she asked: "Do you really need this medicine?"
"Otherwise, I won't be able to reach the level of Dacheng. Your Majesty, if I don't practice harder now, I won't be able to defeat the sword array of those girls around the prince. The prince is about to do something, so I'm very anxious." Tong Fu'an said.
"It's just that it's too unsafe for you to win people's hearts and practice kung fu in this palace. Have you forgotten the last time? Didn't you almost die?" Duanmu Yunji said in embarrassment.
Tong Fu'an smiled sinisterly and said: "Last time, the slave killed someone, so it would naturally attract attention. Now the slave wants to hide with the queen, and the queen will provide the medicine for the slave. Who dares to say anything if the queen kills several people?"
Duanmu Yunji fell silent. After all, killing someone is not just crushing an ant to death.
"Empress, since you are in trouble, I'd better find a solution on my own. It's a pity that I can't help the prince at the critical moment." Tong Fu'an hit a thousand and wanted to retreat.
"Wait a minute." Duanmu Yunji stopped him. "There are a few empty houses in the backyard of the side hall. If you live there, don't go out and walk around, so as not to cause trouble." She picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and drank slowly.
Swallow said.
"Thank you, empress." Tong Fu'an was overjoyed. He exited the palace, glanced at the palace maids and eunuchs outside, and warned fiercely: "Who dares to talk nonsense outside, be careful with your life!"
The maids and eunuchs were so frightened that they all lowered their heads and remained silent.
Tong Fu'an went to the side courtyard in a big way. Duanmu Yunji immediately sent several young eunuchs and maids to him for his dispatch. Tong Fu'an was naturally proud.
As soon as he sat down, the door was kicked open and Liu Huo stood at the door with an angry face. Tong Fu'an jumped out of bed and knelt down to worship.
"Your Majesty."
"Humph! Do you still have me as the prince in your eyes?" Liu Huo sneered.
Tong Fu'an hurriedly asked: "This slave has always been loyal to the prince and the empress. Why did the prince say this?"
"When you return to the imperial capital, you can't even see my face. What do you mean?" Liu Huo asked.
"I knew you would come, so I waited for you here, saving some distance. I'm seriously injured now." Tong Fu'an covered his chest and coughed.
Liu Huo frowned and looked at him for a while, then asked: "Where is the princess? Didn't you Feige pass the letter to bring the princess all the way back? Why don't you see her?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the princess will be delivered to the palace by His Royal Highness himself soon." A sinister smile appeared on Tong Fu'an's lips.
"Oh?" Liu Huo didn't understand what he meant.
Tong Fu'an said: "The princess threw away the antidote in her hand and prepared to rely on her will to survive the full moon night. She didn't know that the pain of Heart-biting Powder was getting worse every month. She was there on this full moon night."
I can bear it."
"She lost the antidote?!" Liu Huo was surprised.
"Yes, Your Majesty, but Your Majesty, there is no need to worry. The antidote slave will still be here for several months, so you just wait for His Highness the Crown Prince to deliver the Princess to the Palace in person." Tong Fu'an took out a medicine bottle from his arms.
, presented to Liu Huo.
Liuhuo took the antidote and recalled the scene when the prince delivered Luo Lianyi to the emperor that morning. He imagined that he stood at the gate of the palace holding Luo Lianyi and handed her into his arms. He couldn't help but "Haha
” burst out laughing.
"Is the prince happy?" Tong Fu'an looked at him flatteringly.
"Well, okay, you have done a good job this time, and I will not treat you badly, hahaha -" Liu Huo laughed. There were footsteps outside, and a little eunuch stood at the door tremblingly, holding a
Covered plate.
"Your Majesty." He knelt down on the ground, his body trembling wildly, and his face turned pale.
Liu Huo looked back at him and knew what he had sent. He touched his nose and strode out of the room. The little eunuch trembled even more after he left. "Father-in-law, your things have been sent here."
His teeth were chattering and he looked extremely frightened.
"Bring it in." Tong Fu'an sat back on the bed, his voice sounding like it was coming from hell.
The little eunuch wanted to stand up, but he couldn't. He knelt down with the plate in his arms and crawled to a place a few meters away from Tong Fu'an. He put the plate on the ground and looked at Tong Fu'an with fear.
"Bring it here!" Tong Fu'an glanced at him, and the little eunuch collapsed immediately. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed violently: "My father-in-law, have mercy on my life! My father-in-law, have mercy on my life!"
"Come here!" Tong Fuan's eyes showed a fierce light.
The little eunuch's hands were shaking wildly. He picked up the plate but couldn't hold it firmly. The plate fell to the ground and his bloody heart fell to the ground.
"Ah——" the little eunuch screamed and fainted.
Tong Fu'an glared at him, slowly got off the bed, picked up the heart on the ground, wiped it with his sleeve, then put it into his mouth, chewing it deliciously.
The little eunuch regained consciousness a few minutes later. He suddenly raised his head and saw the young man with white hair, face like a silver basin, and red lips eating people's hearts one by one. He couldn't even scream. Once again
He fell to the ground. Hearing the noise, Tong Fuan looked down at him and saw that his eyes were bulging and his pupils were dilated to the extreme. He was obviously frightened to death.
Tong Fu'an ate the last bit of meat in his hand, then squatted down, stretched out his hand, turned his palm into a claw, and stretched it towards the little eunuch's chest.
