Eunuch Tong was originally fighting with Sima Xiangnan, but unexpectedly, a dense rain of needles suddenly fell from the sky. He dodged one group and then another. He had to jump with all his strength to avoid it. However, the alley was too narrow, and he couldn't care less.
Having acquired a hidden weapon, he could not ignore Sima Xiangnan's attacks. What scared him the most was that Sima Xiangnan tried to tear off his veil several times to reveal his true face, assassinate the emperor's appointed doctor, and implicate the queen and King Jing.
This guilt is something you can't just walk away with.
In desperation, he had no choice but to run away. Fortunately, Sima Xiangnan did not pursue him. When he came out of the alley, they also stopped chasing and went back home.
Eunuch Tong returned to Qingning Palace in embarrassment, and inevitably received some complaints from the queen. After Eunuch Tong returned to his residence, he closed the door tightly and sat on the bed alone, with a gloomy and terrifying face.
After sitting for a while, he took out a scripture and began to ponder it. The title on the page was "The Divine Art of Ice and Fire". "Why can't you break through the last level?" He murmured to himself, his eyes as unfathomable as a cold pool.
Putting down the book, he took off his shirt, sat cross-legged naked, and began to practice. After a while, white mist rose from the top of his head and gradually filled the room. There were patches of ice on his face and body.
The whole person is like an ice sculpture, looking extremely scary.
Slowly, the ice cubes melted, and pieces fell on the bed and on the ground, gradually melting into water. The extremely cold temperature in the room rose rapidly. After a while, Father-in-law Tong's body was dripping with sweat, and his eyes that were closed suddenly opened.
, the eyeballs are protruding, the eye sockets are blood red, the veins on the forehead are also unusually bulging, the temperature in the room has risen to a completely different world from the outside world, and the water from the melted ice cubes on the ground has evaporated in an instant.
"Ah -" Suddenly, Eunuch Tong let out a weird scream, and after the scream, a mouthful of blood spurted onto the opposite wall. "Cough, cough, cough -" He coughed repeatedly and fell into a sluggish sleep on the bed.
"Master! Master!" Several eunuchs in black broke into the door and ran to the bed to help him up.
"Master, how are you?"
"After all, I can't pass the last level, cough cough cough cough cough cough cough" Eunuch Tong was out of breath.
"Master, don't be impatient. It's very dangerous for you to force yourself through the barrier like this!" said the little eunuch.
"But master won't be able to deal with some people unless he masters the magical skill of ice and fire. The queen is pressing hard, so master has no choice but to fight tooth and nail." Eunuch Tong's face was filled with sadness.
"Master, can I help you?" The little eunuch looked at him worriedly. Eunuch Tong's eyes fell on his face, and after looking at him for a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but this smile was extremely sinister, like a sinister smile.
"Master——" the little eunuch called him tremblingly.
Eunuch Tong suddenly stretched out his hand and pinched the young eunuch's neck.
"Master!" The other little eunuchs standing nearby were too frightened to move.
"Didn't you say you wanted to help me become my teacher?" Eunuch Tong's voice was sharp and unpleasant.
The little eunuch who was pinched by him struggled in fear and was speechless.
"I once heard my master say that if you want to forcefully break through the barrier, you have to eat the hearts of 99 eunuchs alive. Since you said you want to help me break through the barrier, give your heart to me!" Eunuch Tong said.
Then, the other hand was already grabbing at the little eunuch's heart like an eagle's claw.
"Master!" Seeing Eunuch Tong holding a bloody heart in his hand, the other eunuchs were so frightened that they crawled towards the door.
Eunuch Tong stared at them with wide blood-red eyes and shouted sharply: "If you don't want to give your own heart, go and get one for me every day!"
"yes!"
"yes!"
Several people rushed out of the house, and after running a few steps, they all fell to the ground, as if they had not yet recovered from the extreme fear.
In the room, Eunuch Tong stared at the bloody and still warm heart with trembling hands for a while, then closed his eyes and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, he had chewed up the whole heart and swallowed it, his mouth full of blood.
It was ferocious and terrifying, and the dead little eunuch beside him was looking at him with round eyes.
"Master doesn't want this either. Go ahead and reincarnate. Don't enter the palace again in your next life. Be a normal man and a commoner. Never enter the palace again." He stretched out his hand and closed his eyes.
, then got up from the bed, carried his body out of the house, walked to an ancient well in the backyard, and threw the body in the well.
Returning to the house, Eunuch Tong continued to meditate and adjust his breathing. The room was filled with the smell of blood, and Eunuch Tong's smooth, pale round face looked even more eerie under the pale moonlight.
Xiaozhu quietly went to the prison late at night. The jailer had already taken care of her, so he didn't embarrass her.
"Your Highness." She walked to the door and looked at the prince who was leaning against the wall with dull eyes and stubble on his face. Her lips trembled slightly and her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Liu Fan raised his eyelids and asked: "How is the emperor's condition?"
"The emperor's illness has improved." Xiaozhu said.
Liu Fan nodded slightly and took a long breath.
Both of them stopped talking, Xiaozhu stood quietly, and Liufan closed his eyes, as if he was asleep.
Two lines of tears fell from Xiaozhu's eyes. Seeing him in such pain, she really wanted to tell him that the princess had been found and entered the palace, but she didn't dare to say it. She didn't dare to say anything.
"Your Highness, it is better to find the princess now than to find her. If she enters the palace, will you accept it?"
When Liu Fan heard what Xiao Zhu said, he raised his eyelids again.
"The emperor's condition has improved. Even if he can't see the princess, he will slowly recover. So Xiaozhu thinks it's better if he can't find the princess now. At least His Highness won't despair." Xiaozhu continued.
Liu Fan looked at her, his eyes narrowed in pain, and said: "But it will be half month soon. What should I do if she has a toxic attack? What should she do without me around?"
Xiaozhu bit his lip and lowered his head, avoiding his gaze and stopped talking.
"Even if others can't find her, you have to help me find her, otherwise you won't come to see me again." After Liu Fan finished speaking, he leaned against the wall again and closed his eyes.
After Xiaozhu stood for a while, he turned around sadly and left gently.
Liu Fan opened his eyes and watched her back go away. He suddenly let out a cry, hit the wall with his fist, and blood flowed down the wall.
"Your Highness!" Xiaozhu whirled and ran back when she heard the cry. Looking at his bleeding fist, she squatted on the ground, grabbed the bars of the cell and cried bitterly.
"Your Highness!" Xiaozhu looked at the jailer standing next to him and used the sound transmission method. Liu Fan frowned and looked back at her.
"I will bring her to see you. If you pretend to be sick tomorrow, I will try to bring her to see you. But remember, you must control your emotions and never reveal her identity." Xiaozhu said.
Liu Fan looked at her doubtfully.
At this point, Xiaozhu couldn't bear to hide it from him any longer, so she continued to transmit the message secretly: "She has entered the palace, and the emperor's illness was cured by her."
