Lu Zicong didn't know how long he and Lu Jiu had been in that underground palace.
Fortunately, they did find the Book of Immortality among the many treasures.
It turns out that the drop-shaped jade pendant that Lu Jiu placed with Sikong Qingying was the key to unlocking the book of immortality.
They didn't spend much time looking for the treasure, but they spent a long time looking for the Book of Immortality among the treasures.
The Book of Immortality is indeed what Lu Jiu said.
The first volume is Qi Men Dun Jia, Starry Art of War.
The middle volume is a peerless martial arts.
The second volume is a unique medical text.
Without thinking, Lu Jiu gave the second volume to Lu Zicong. The first volume remained in the underground palace where the treasure was hidden, while he took the middle volume away.
He wants to practice peerless martial arts and go to Miaohua Mountain to seek revenge on the person who destroyed the entire Lu family and killed his parents.
During the civil war within the capital, Lu Zicong and Lu Jiu came out of the underground palace in Lancun near the capital of the capital and were able to see the light of day again.
The atmosphere in Lancun was very tense.
Lu Zicong and Lu Jiu, two outsiders, were rejected by the originally simple people even for a temporary stay.
In addition, everyone's eyes when looking at them were full of unkindness and doubt.
Lu Zicong was very surprised. After he successfully rescued the old man suffering from rheumatism, he learned from the old man... that a civil war had broken out in Dajing.
The soldiers on the border rose up to rebel against the current emperor.
Not only that, Lu Zicong was surprised to find that in the past few months when he and Lu Jiu were looking for treasures underground, earth-shaking changes had taken place in the capital, and even the emperor had changed.
The current emperor turns out to be the good king Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
This was expected by Lu Zicong, but Lu Zicong did not expect that Xuanyuan Mingzhao would ascend the throne so quickly.
Lu Zicong asked about the reasons for the rebellion in the border areas, and the old farmer told him the reasons for the rebellion in the border areas.
What about forcing Yin Ziheng, the patron saint of the capital, to death, what about seizing the wife of a minister, what about collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country...
One by one, he was talking clearly and clearly, and Lu Zicong was stunned for a while.
Lu Zicong simply couldn't believe that the person the old farmer was talking about was Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
Although he didn't get along with Xuanyuan Mingzhao for a long time, and Xuanyuan Mingzhao was quite scheming, but he wasn't as miserable as the old farmer said.
Moreover, he had seen the situation between Xuanyuan Mingzhao and Sikong Qingying. In that scene, Sikong Qingying did not look like someone who was occupied by Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
People are obviously willing to do so.
Is this an excuse for traitors to rebel?
Just talking about the incident where Lu Zicong saved Song Qing by mistake, Lu Zicong felt that there was an inexplicable fate between him and the former good king, the current emperor Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
Now, after he learned about the civil strife in the capital, he also planned to go to the imperial capital of the capital to have a look.
After Lu Zicong got the news he wanted, he and Lu Jiu left the old farmer's home.
After leaving Lancun, Lu Zicong asked Lu Jiu beside him: "Xiao Jiujiu, now that you have obtained the Book of Immortality, what are your plans in the future?"
Lu Jiu's face was full of determination: "I plan to return to Xuanming Palace to practice with great concentration, strive to achieve great success as soon as possible, and go to Miaohua Mountain to seek revenge on that old man."
Hearing this, Lu Zicong slowly frowned.
When they first got the Book of Immortality, both Lu Zicong and Lu Jiu had seen the peerless martial arts in it, and it was not difficult to practice. Besides, Lu Jiu was extremely talented, and he might be able to achieve great feats in a short time.
And that peerless martial arts is indeed extremely powerful.
There is no reason why such a powerful martial arts should be so easy to practice, because the ancestors of the Lu family had sealed up the Book of Immortality for unknown reasons. Lu Zicong always felt that there was something wrong with the Book of Immortality.
In fact, he didn't really want Lu Jiu to practice, but he knew that he couldn't stop Lu Jiu's belief in revenge, so he didn't try to persuade him. He only hoped that one day Lu Jiu could understand it - what his parents wanted was definitely not to let him
Revenge, but let him live well.
Even with the martial arts in the Book of Immortality... Lu Zicong was afraid that Lu Jiu would not be a match for the monster in Miaohua Mountain.
In this regard, Lu Zicong could only think of a solution in private. He even thought that at worst, he might be able to help Lu Jiu by studying the poison techniques in the Book of Immortality.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, go ahead."
"What about you, uncle? What are your plans?"
Lu Zicong looked in the direction of the imperial capital of the capital and said: "I plan to enter the imperial capital to see the current emperor... Speaking of which, the current imperial concubine, the wife of the emperor who was 'occupied' by the emperor, Sikong Qingying, is also yours.
Friend, you don’t want to see her."
Lu Jiu thought of Sikong Qingying, and a trace of confusion appeared on his handsome and extraordinary face, and he shook his head: "No, she is now an imperial concubine, and she must have what she wants. I, a sloppy person in the world, can't help.
What's the big deal? Uncle, just say hello to her for me."
Lu Zicong looked at it and sighed in his heart, his little nephew really cares about Sikong Qingying.
Otherwise, there would be no way to talk about status and inferiority.
It's a pity that that person is now the emperor's man, and Luohua is ruthless. In love, his little nephew may never be able to be consummated.
"I will."
"Little uncle, take care, see you soon."
Lu Zicong also mounted his horse: "See you later... Xiao Jiujiu, remember, you must tell your uncle before you take revenge."
Lu Jiu nodded, then pulled the reins of the horse, spurring the horse and horse under him, and galloped away.
Lu Zicong looked at his back, let out a long sigh, then looked away, and led his horse in the opposite direction, heading towards the capital of the capital.
Because of the civil war in the capital, the inspections in and out of the imperial capital were particularly strict.
As an outsider with no way around, Lu Zicong was naturally stopped outside the city gate. Not only that, the other party even regarded him as a suspicious person and wanted to imprison him in a prison.
Green shirt, jade crown, bixiao.
This is the signature of the Jade-Faced Miracle Doctor Lu Zicong. When Lu Zicong took action to solve the plague in the Imperial Capital, people in the Imperial Capital already knew about the Jade-Faced Miracle Doctor, but now they blocked him outside the city gate. Lu Zicong was very depressed.
At this point, he had no choice but to tell his family name, and when the other party heard that he was the Jade-Faced Miracle Doctor, and after confirming over and over again that it was definitely him, their attitude immediately changed, and they treated him as a distinguished guest and introduced him into the imperial capital.
Lu Zicong took the opportunity to make a request to see the current emperor.
The city guard did not refuse. He only said that he would report it to the police and asked Lu Zicong to wait patiently.
In fact, the current atmosphere in the Dajing Palace is not good either.
Internal and external troubles broke out at the same time. This was something that Dajing, which had been at ease for more than ten years, had never encountered before. Even Xuanyuan Mingzhao felt a little in a hurry.
He was very busy and had to summon the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss multiple response plans within one day.
And Xuanyuan Mingfeng went to the battlefield in person as he told Xuanyuan Mingzhao that day, commanded the soldiers of the capital with military orders, and fought against the border rebels. Unexpectedly, he actually had a talent for fighting.
After his appearance, the overwhelming anti-military force on the border was curbed, and the two armies entered into a confrontation for the first time.
Because of this, Xuanyuan Mingzhao temporarily gave up the idea of his own expedition.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao was busy in front of the palace for several days and nights without sleeping. Sikong Qingying was in the harem. Although he was also worried about the affairs in the front hall, he still forced himself to eat when he should, drink when he should, and sleep when he should.
After all, she still has two children in her belly. She can't just care about her own feelings, she should think about the two children.
But even so, she was very concerned about Xuanyuan Mingzhao's situation and urged the palace maids and eunuchs to send food and refreshments to Xuanyuan Mingzhao every day. If it weren't for her supervision, Xuanyuan Mingzhao would most likely have skipped even these.
At this time, Xuanyuan Mingzhao must have no intention of caring about the harem. Among the harem, the Queen Mother was the most powerful.
The Queen Mother is also a person who knows the importance of things. Although she hates Sikong Qingying extremely, it is a fact that Sikong Qingying is pregnant with twins and grandsons. Therefore, she did not do anything to Sikong Qingying secretly. Instead, she warned others and also
No hands or feet are allowed.
He even hinted to those people that if they want to get rid of Sikong Qingying, they have to wait until the child is born.
This was only in the early stages of the civil war, and the Empress Dowager would have thought about this.
Now, seeing the unstoppable anti-military forces in the border areas, the Queen Mother has long been panicked.
And today, she actually wants to persuade Xuanyuan Mingzhao to move the capital and leave.
The frontier is on the westernmost side of Dajing, and the imperial capital of Dajing is on the north. Now that the rebel forces in the frontier have invaded the central part, the Empress Dowager actually wants Xuanyuan Mingzhao to move the capital to the farthest east side from the frontier.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao naturally ignored her stupid and fearful opinion.
At first she wanted to see Xuanyuan Mingzhao, but Xuanyuan Mingzhao still wanted to see her, but later she simply let the guards blast her away.
You must know that when the current Queen Mother was not the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother's mother clan was the sworn enemy of Xuanyuan Mingzhao's grandfather's family. After the Queen Mother became powerful, in order to understand the hatred she had harbored for many years, she did not hesitate to kill Zhongliang and also wanted to kill Xuanyuan Mingzhao's grandfather's family.
The collapse and collapse caused Xuanyuan Mingzhao's mother-in-law to change from an official lady to the daughter of a criminal official. That was all. The Queen Mother deliberately made an exception and asked the emperor to bring the daughter of a criminal official into the palace to facilitate her torture.
The brothers Xuanyuan Mingzhao were murdered by the palace maids and eunuchs when they were young, so they had a close relationship with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was also closely related to the death of their mother and concubine.
As early as when Xuanyuan Mingzhao ascended the throne, Xuanyuan Mingzhao wanted to settle accounts with the Queen Mother, but after he ascended the throne, too many things happened, so he temporarily put it aside.
And now, the bad idea put forward by the Queen Mother to shake the morale of the army has once again aroused Xuanyuan Mingzhao's murderous intention...
……………………
Throughout the Dajing Empire, due to the civil war, many citizens were silent and frightened when going out. A silent tension filled the entire Dajing.
Today, Princess Mingfang, who had not been to the palace for a long time, suddenly received an invitation from the palace.
From the royal grandmother who loved her the most.
She was a little surprised, but she was also very scared and worried about the civil war in the capital, so she pretended to be calm and changed into a gorgeous dress and prepared to go out.
It happened that Yuchi Weiran came back from outside and was exhausted.
Yuchi Weiran returned to the gentle and elegant young master he once was.
It seems that the pain, despair, and unwillingness I experienced before are gone.
After experiencing so many things, the gentle smile on his face finally became much more real than before.
Now, his heart is harder than before, and his youthful edges, deep love, and extreme hatred have all been deeply buried by him.
He is now Yuchi Weiran, a humble gentleman, Yuchi Weiran who is as gentle as jade.
Even when he saw Princess Mingfang, a person he hated, the smile on his face still did not fade away: "Princess, where are you going?"
Princess Mingfang hadn't seen Yuchi Weiran for a long time. She suddenly saw him and felt very happy: "Yuchi, Grandma Huang has asked me to enter the palace. Do you want to go with me?"
As the owner of Eagle Eye, the most important intelligence agency in the hands of Emperor Dajing, Yuchi Weiran also knew a lot about the affairs of the imperial palace.
He knew that the Queen Mother... no, it should be the Queen Mother now. She wanted to persuade the emperor to move the capital to the east.
Now when he heard what Princess Mingfang said, he could probably guess why the Empress Dowager asked Mingfang to enter the palace.
I'm afraid they want to take Mingfang with them to escape from the imperial capital of Beijing, which they think is about to be captured, and go to the east.
These grandparents and grandchildren are really equally stupid.
However, the Empress Dowager was really loving towards Princess Mingfang.
The smile on Yuchi Weiran's face got a little thicker: "Princess, if you step out of Yuchi's house today, you will never come back again."
"You..." Princess Mingfang looked at Yuchi Weiran in surprise. She didn't understand how they were so good to each other. Why did Yuchi Weiran suddenly say this?
"Yuchi, I just came to the palace to see the emperor's grandmother...why did you say such a thing?"
Yuchi remained unmoved, the smile on his face remained: "This is what I have wanted to say for a long time. Princess, the Yuchi family does not welcome you. The Queen Mother may have to take you to a safe place. I am now
If I divorce you, if you meet a suitable man outside in the future, you can get married directly without having to worry about me as your ex-husband."
"What are you talking about? Yuchi Weiran, what are you talking about? Who said that I am going to leave with Grandma Huang? Who said that I am going to remarry? You...have you ever loved me?" What kind of man?
Can he tell his wife to marry another man without changing his face?
Yuchi Weiran's words almost drove Mingfang crazy. She didn't understand, how could he say such words so easily?
"Love? Princess, do you think I will fall in love with a femme fatale who killed my own flesh and blood?"
"You, you really still miss that bitch Sikong Qingying, but her child is your child, not mine? I also had a miscarriage, why don't you feel sorry for my aborted child, instead?
She is thinking about that bitch all the time!!! Haven’t you seen it by now? That bitch is a disaster! She defeated Young Master Wenyu to death before entering the Yin family, and defeated him even more after entering the Yin family.
General Yin is dead, and now, huh, even my sixth brother's dynasty is involved because of her. Look, what do people outside say about my sixth brother? That's not my sixth brother's fault at all.
It's that bitch's fault. How could you like such a bitch? Yuchi Weiran, why am I inferior to her? Why are you obsessed with only remembering her?"
"Are you done?"
What Princess Mingfang just said was full of indignation, her huge breasts wrapped in gorgeous dresses kept rising and falling, her face, which became more and more charming and charming due to the night of sex, was flushed with anger, and her eyes were beautiful.
Her beautiful eyes stared at Yuchi Weiran.
Completely opposite to her, Yuchi Weiran's tone was very calm from beginning to end, with a faint smile: "What you are carrying is not my flesh and blood, why should I feel bad? How can those bastards be worth my heartache? You
Asking you how you can't compare to her? I'll tell you right now, you can't compare to her in any way... Besides, in fact, princess, you are the real person. Xiaoying can't bear the name of a bitch.
It would be more appropriate for you to use it yourself." Yuchi Weiran was determined to break up with Princess Mingfang, so in this case, he might as well tell everything.
Anyway, when Xuanyuan Mingzhao put him in high esteem, he would never suppress him for a little person like Princess Mingfang. Yuchi Weiran was very confident.
Yuchi Weiran's words made Princess Mingfang feel ashamed and angry: "What did you say? You actually said that my child is a bastard? That is obviously your child, Yuchi Weiran, and you actually called your own child a bastard? I have always kept myself clean.
How is it possible that you can do everything you can, you... you spit on others, if you continue like this, I will definitely let Grandma Huang and Brother Six punish you for your offence!!!" Her head was dizzy with anger, and her eyes began to turn black.
This is a dream, it must be a nightmare. How could Yuchi, a gentle and gentle man who could be called a good man, say such things to her? It's terrible. This dream is too terrible. She must wake up. She must wake up.
"Should I say you are naive or stupid? You don't even know who is sleeping with you every night, haha... I, Yuchi Weiran, have brought it upon myself to marry a woman like you. However, after today, you and I will
People, marriage between a man and a woman have nothing to do with each other."
Yuchi Weiran said decisive words in a gentle voice.
"You..." Princess Mingfang couldn't bear the blow anymore, her vision went dark, and she fainted.
Yuchi Weiran watched her fall coldly from the side, with a hint of sarcasm in his brows. After watching for a while, he said: "Here comes someone."
After the guards of Yuchi's family appeared, he said casually: "Send her to the Empress Dowager."
This woman made him sick, and he hoped to never see her again in the future.
……………………
At the same time, Xuanyuan Mingfeng, who was fighting the rebels on the front line of Dajing, suddenly returned.
"Your Majesty, General Ming would like to see you."
Before noon, Xuanyuan Mingzhao fell asleep from exhaustion in the imperial study. The maids and eunuchs outside did not dare to disturb him. It was not until Xuanyuan Mingfeng came back that they went to the imperial study to report.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao woke up with a start. He rubbed his eyebrows and opened his eyes. His eyes were not confused as if he had just woken up, but were as calm and calm as ever.
Although he was surprised in his heart as to why Xuanyuan Mingfeng suddenly came back, he didn't show any signs of it on his face. He just said in a deep voice: "Xuan."
Xuanyuan Mingfeng still wears a mask on his face.
His current identity is that of a martial artist who was taken over by Xuanyuan Mingzhao. Because his face was burned, he wears a mask all year round. In addition, before that, Xuanyuan Mingzhao also let a well-known general in the dynasty appear on the surface.
He regarded him as his adopted son. Because of this, he was able to command the capital's army without revealing his identity as the seventh prince.
"Xiao Qi, why are you back?"
As soon as he dismissed the palace maid and eunuch, Xuanyuan Mingzhao asked.
Xuanyuan Mingfeng did not salute and sat directly beside Xuanyuan Mingzhao: "Sixth brother, the leader of the rebel army said that he wants to have a confidential talk with you."
Nowadays, there is a civil war within the capital, and the other three countries outside are watching eagerly. If this civil war continues, it will be really unfavorable for the capital, very unfavorable.
"Rebel leader? Humph, I hate that so many people in our Dajing dynasty have been engaged in a civil war with the rebels for so long without knowing the origins of their leaders. It's really ridiculous... He was born in sorrow and died in happiness. If Dajing can live in peace for a few more years,
I’m afraid that the country will really be destroyed.”
After sighing somewhat gloomily, Xuanyuan Mingzhao said: "Does he want peace talks? Or does he have some other conspiracy?"
"None of this is important, Sixth Brother." Xuanyuan Mingfeng shook his head, looking a little strange.
"Nonsense, why isn't this important? This is the top priority right now!" There is no emperor in the capital who is as unlucky as him. As soon as he ascended the throne, disasters occurred one after another.
"No, Sixth Brother, you see, this is a letter that the rebel leader gave me to bring to you. After I read it, I never let anyone else read it, and I rushed back to find you personally.
"
Xuanyuan Mingzhao took the letter from the rebel leader from Xuanyuan Mingfeng, and stared at Xuanyuan Mingfeng with some doubts in his eyes like a deep pool: "Is there something wrong with this letter?"
Xuanyuan Mingfeng sighed: "Brother Six, you will know after you see it yourself."
With doubts, Xuanyuan Mingzhao opened the letter.
As soon as he opened it, before reading the contents, he gasped.
"This...this handwriting is...but, how could it be...how could it be him..."
Xuanyuan Mingfeng said helplessly: "Brother Six, have you seen it too? This is the purpose of my coming back this time."
After Xuanyuan Mingzhao read the letter Xuanyuan Mingfeng brought back, he was silent for a long time and asked Xuanyuan Mingfeng to go down and rest.
And he took the letter and read it for a long time.
Finally, he put the letter under the memorial, got up and left.
There is a Yuhua Hall in the palace. In the Yuhua Hall, living water is introduced from the hot spring into the palace and poured into the Yuhua Pool. This is also where Xuanyuan Mingzhao and the others go to bathe on weekdays.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao had been busy for a long time and was extremely tired, so he went to Yuhua Pond to take a bath.
A huge gilded animal head hangs on the pool, and gurgling water pours down from the wide open mouth of the animal head.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao took off all his clothes and stood under the beast's mouth, letting the warm water flowing from the beast's mouth flow onto his back.
The bronzed and toned skin was looming in the pool water, and the long hair that was usually tied up by a hairband was let down, adding a bit of softness to his cool and handsome face.
The woman in white gauze by the pool had a look of infatuation in her eyes. She slowly got into the water and leaned towards Xuanyuan Mingzhao.
Xuanyuan Mingzhao was closing his eyes and relaxing in the bath, when suddenly a soft and warm body was pressed against his back.
He suddenly opened his cold eyes, lowered his eyes, and saw a white wrist.
