() A strange scene occurred near the capital of the Ming Dynasty. Pedestrians on the roadside ran around as if they had seen ghosts. After a while, thousands of cavalry appeared behind them and passed by in an instant. Take a closer look and see if they have anything on their crotches.
Instead of horses, they were ferocious wolves. No wonder the people nearby seemed to have seen a ghost and ran away. What if the wolf got out of control and went crazy and started eating people.
It was Liu Yu and his party who passed by. Riding on the Wind Wolf, the group rushed on their way crazily and arrived at the foot of the capital in less than three days. Perhaps because what he knew from his memory was far less reliable than what he had seen with his own eyes, Liu Yu looked at the scene in front of him.
This grand building always feels more majestic than what I remember. The tall city gates and deep city walls will definitely kill all the major cities I have seen in my previous life.
"Who are you, stop! This is the capital city of the Ming Dynasty. Who are you? Please tell me who you are!" The guard captain did not dare to loudly stop them from entering the city, nor did he dare to show too much. He could afford such a mount.
It is indescribable to be either rich or noble. In a kingdom like the Ming Dynasty, how could there be such cavalry? Even in the dynasty, such cavalry were rare.
"Oh! Isn't this Captain Zhao? Why, don't you recognize him?" Liu Yu, who was looking at the city wall from behind, sighed with emotion. When he saw that he was stopped at the city gate, he immediately walked forward.
"The Third Highness, you are the Third Highness!" Seeing the young man sitting on a purple-haired lion, he was clearly the Third Prince, but his expression was completely different from the submissive look he had back then. For a moment, Han Ying did not dare to
Got it.
Looking at Han Ying, an acquaintance, Liu Yu perked up and said, "Colonel Han, it's been so long and you haven't been promoted, and that guy named Wu hasn't let you go yet!"
Han Ying was a little lonely and said helplessly, "The Wu family is a Ming Dynasty family. Even if Master Wu wanted to let me go, he didn't say anything and no one dared to be friends with me. Now I, Han Ying, have no future and can only defend the city."
The door is open."
Han Ying has some talent, but he was sent here because he unintentionally offended the Wu family. He was originally very high-spirited and was appreciated by his superiors in the Forbidden Army. However, the Wu family demoted him to guard the city with just one word.
The door is closed.
"Alright Captain Han, I have something else to do, so I won't disturb you anymore. If you need any help, just come directly to the prince's residence." But after a while at the gate of the city, Liu Yu didn't want to continue talking nonsense.
There are still many things to do when you get there.
"Oh" Xingfeng also reacted immediately, waved his hand to indicate to his subordinates to let him go, and said at the same time, "Okay, Third Prince, walk slowly!"
After entering the city gate, Shen Conglin, who was very upset, asked, "Your Highness, are we going to the Prince's Mansion?"
"No, let's go directly to the palace." Liu Yu led the people in the direction of the palace and said slowly, "Father, the illness is a bit strange. I'll go and see if I'm really sick. Otherwise, wait until Zhao Guiren reacts.
Even if we are strong and not afraid of her, we will inevitably make some mistakes."
The palace guards are not like the city gates. The guards guarding the city gates are the Imperial Guards, known as the elite among the elites of the Ming Dynasty. When they arrived at the foot of the palace, Liu Yu was stopped again, but Zhou An on the side murmured to himself:
"The Praetorian Guards are nothing more than that!"
As the emperor's personal army, the imperial guards naturally recognized Liu Yu. Who would dare to stop the third prince of the Ming Dynasty from meeting the emperor? There was no obstacle for Liu Yu to enter the palace, but it was not easy for his subordinates. Most of them were left behind
Once outside, Liu Yu could only bring a few people in, and even the weapons were confiscated.
Of course, as the most elite force in the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Guiren also put a lot of effort into the Imperial Guards. There were quite a few people in the Imperial Guards. As soon as Liu Yugang entered here, someone sneaked away to report the news.
When they arrived near the Yangxin Hall in the inner courtyard of the palace, Liu Yu and his party were inspected repeatedly. The place was guarded by high-ranking masters and imperial guards. The old eunuch who was close to him even kept all the food brought in, including things that the emperor might come into contact with.
I also checked everything carefully to avoid any mistakes, and the most important thing was to be on guard against that poisonous woman.
When the old eunuch heard Liu Yu's arrival, he dropped what he was doing and ran out in a hurry. Seeing Liu Yu who was stopped by the imperial guards and imperial guards, he immediately said excitedly, "Your Highness, Third Prince,
You are finally here, I am here to meet His Highness the Third Highness!"
Seeing the person coming, Liu Yu showed a slight smile, "Eunuch Xiao, long time no see. These days are going well!"
"Thank you, Third Prince, for thinking about me. Everything is fine with this old slave, even Your Majesty... Well, Your Highness should hurry up and follow me." This old eunuch was obviously not familiar with Liu Yu. After seeing Liu Yu, he immediately
He took his hand and walked inside.
With the old eunuch's guidance, Liu Yu and his party moved forward without any hindrance. Along the way, Liu Yu asked the old eunuch, "Eunuch Xiao, why are the guards here so tight? It was not like this before~!"
The old eunuch sighed and said with some reluctance, "This is also a last resort. His Majesty suddenly fell down, and His Highness was not in the capital. I did this to prevent any unexpected events."
"Just in case something unexpected happens?" Needless to say, Liu Yu also knew who he was guarding against, and then asked nervously, "How is the father's situation?"
"Your Majesty's condition is not optimistic. The imperial doctor diagnosed that it was a relapse of the old disease. According to the old slave's experience, your majesty was obviously poisoned. Therefore, the old slave suspected that the imperial doctor had been bribed. But the old slave was just a eunuch, even if he had doubts
, and have no right to pursue it. We can only strengthen our vigilance to protect His Majesty’s safety!”
Everyone knew who the mastermind behind the scenes was. Liu Yu sighed slightly. "Eunuch Xiao, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard work. This is the duty of the old slave." The old eunuch didn't care much about Liu Yu's words. Instead, he complimented him, "On the contrary, when the old slave heard that His Highness was in bed, he showed his power and showed off his power. The brats of the Yan Kingdom
Big head-hugging rat scurrying around”
"Eunuch Xiao, not long ago, His Highness led an army to annihilate the Yan army and took back the Tianbi Pass. He even seized the Qingfeng Pass of the Yan State!"
"Ah! Your Highness, is this true?" Looking at Liu Yu in surprise, the old eunuch shivered and really didn't know what to say. Staying in the deep palace, the old eunuch's information was not very smooth. Don't say he was here.
The eunuch himself, even Zhao Guiren had just received a secret report from his subordinates and was now hiding in the palace and furious.
"Yes." Liu Yu nodded slightly and introduced to the old eunuch, "This is Li Xuan, Xiantian Dzogchen, the commander of my Jinyi Guard!"
"Innate Dzogchen?" The surprise brought by Liu Yu today was enough for the old eunuch to digest for a while. Although the old eunuch had already reacted, "Your Highness, what is the position of the commander of the Jinyi Guards? How come this old slave has never heard of this official position."
"This is an official position created by me. It's normal for Eunuch Xiao to not know about it!"
"How can this be done, Your Highness? Commander Li has profound skills and should be treated as a national scholar. How can he be given a position at will?" Such a master would be like a jade pillar in the kingdom, even in a weaker place.
In the dynasty, that is also a high standard of treatment. The imperial master of the Ming Dynasty is only at the peak of the eighth level of innateness. Why is the third prince just given a perfunctory position?
Li Xuan grinned slightly, and then said respectfully, "It is my honor to serve His Highness."
Li Xuan's words frightened the old eunuch even more. He was a congenital high-level master whose eyes swelled to the top of his head. Judging from his attitude towards the third prince, he was very respectful and respectful, and it was not like he was pretending.
At this moment, the old eunuch no longer dared to look at the prince with the same eyes as before, and even his actions became much more respectful.
While they were talking, several people had already arrived at their destination. When they opened the palace door, they saw the middle-aged man with a dark face lying on the bed, who was Liu Yu's current victor, Ming Emperor Liu Wei.
As soon as he came in, the old eunuch knelt down beside the bed and whispered, "Your Majesty, please open your eyes and see that the third prince is back, back!"
Liu Yu did not pounce on him, cry and make a fuss about the deep love between father and son, but calmly said to Li Xuan, "Go and see what's going on!"
"Nuo" After hearing this, Li Xuan immediately stepped forward to make a careful diagnosis. As Li Xuan checked, his brows became more and more wrinkled. Then Li Xuan stood up and said with some worry, "Your Highness, according to your observation, Your Majesty should
I’ve been hit by the “Heart-Eating Powder”, I’m afraid I won’t be able to survive for a few days!”
After Liu Wei became critically ill, he was closely guarded by the old eunuch. Even Zhao Guiren did not know what the situation was. As for the unlucky imperial doctor who treated the doctor, he had been beaten to death by the old eunuch. But the key point is that the old eunuch did not understand medical skills.
, Liu Wei was just unconscious all this time, so there was no big problem. The old eunuch just sent people to search for famous doctors to treat him, but he did not expect that the situation was so critical. Suddenly the old eunuch became a little sluggish, not knowing what to do.
Li Xuan's words could not help but make Liu Yu frown. Then he took out the few remaining detoxification pills and asked, "Yellow-level detoxification pills, what do you think about it?"
"This Heart-Eating Powder is also a yellow-level poison. His Majesty has been poisoned for a long time, and the toxin has penetrated deep into the heart and bone marrow. Your Highness's detoxifying pill can only suppress the toxin for a while, but it cannot clear it."
Afterwards, Li Xuan swallowed and looked at Liu Yu cautiously, "Your Highness, even if you take the detoxification pill, your Majesty will not be able to survive for a month!"
