Time continued to pass, and the smiles on the faces of the three people gradually faded. When two hours passed, their faces became as stiff and ugly as coffin boards. Ming Aoyou became like ants on a hot pot, saying: "
What's going on? Why hasn't Jingting woke up yet? Could it be that she... won't, definitely won't."
Thinking of the horrific consequences, Ming Guoguo turned pale with fright and quickly shook his head, as if to drive the thought out of his mind.
No wonder he was so anxious. The life in Ming Jingting's body was completely normal at this time. Her breathing was even and her pulse was steady and strong. Every time she exhaled and inhaled, there was a sense of heat. But for some reason, she didn't open her eyes. It was like
Lying there motionless like a living dead.
Even Lu Chen remembered wandering around and said to himself: "How could this happen? Jingting's body has obviously returned to normal, why can't she wake up?"
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A knock on the door sounded outside, and a moment later, a palace maid said, "Mr. Lu, your Majesty invites you."
"Say I'm not free."
Now let alone Dongfang Longba, even the King of Heaven, he didn't want to talk to him. The young man outside the door did not pursue him for being rude to the emperor, and continued: "Your Majesty said it was about your unconscious friend, maybe he can help
.”
Two gleams of light shot out from Lu Chen's eyes, and he said in a serious voice: "Is it Dongfang Longba's fault?"
"You said it was the emperor who kept my sister awake, so I went to fight with him." Ming Aoao's eyes were red, and his whole body was like a lit gunpowder keg that could explode at any time. Lu Chen grabbed him and said: "
You wait here first, maybe Jingting will wake up soon, and I'll go meet the emperor and find out what his purpose is."
Lu Chen looked at Ning Xiaochuan again, and the latter nodded, indicating that he would be optimistic about Ming Aoguo.
When I came out of the room, I saw a palace maid in a red dress. The palace maid was slightly hunched, making the slightly exposed gully on her chest more obvious. The palace maid was twenty-eight years old, with an oval face, and especially a pair of watery eyes.
Talk the same.
Lu Chen didn't even look at him and said, "Take me to see His Majesty."
"yes!"
The palace maid made a blessing and led the way with her lotus steps. Each step she took was very small, but the frequency of her steps was very fast. It looked like she was trotting. Under the leadership of the palace maid, she quickly arrived at the emperor's house.
Royal study room.
A man wearing armor and a sword hanging from his waist came over and said, "Young Master Lu, your Majesty has been waiting for a long time. Please come in as soon as you arrive."
Lu Chen entered the imperial study room expressionlessly and saw Dongfang Longba sitting in front of the desk.
He held the book in his hand and read it with gusto. As soon as he raised his head, he saw Lu Chen standing at the door. He quickly put the book down, with a smile on his face, stood up from his seat and said, "Here he is..."
"I have met your Majesty." Lu Chen bowed deeply towards Dongfang Longba. Although he had countless questions in his mind, he also wanted to ask him how he knew that Ming Jingting could not wake up and whether he had done something wrong. But he
But he didn't ask a question. It wasn't that he wasn't in a hurry, but that he didn't dare. Now he was not alone. Once he angered Dongfang Longba, everyone might be buried with him because of his impulse. Therefore, Lu Chen was already prepared.
No matter how Dongfang Longba humiliated him or what he asked for, he agreed without hesitation.
"There are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be polite to me. Come and sit down."
Like a puppet, Lu Chen came to the chair next to him and sat down. The chair was very soft and covered with precious nine-tailed fox fur. Dongfang Longba personally made Lu Chen a pot of tea and gave him a cup, saying
: "This is Yunding tea. There are only three plants in the entire dynasty. Even I only have one or two tea leaves. How do you like it?"
When the tea is poured into the cup, the mist rises and floats above the cup like a cloud.
Lu Chen looked at Dongfang Longba suspiciously, not understanding what the other party wanted to do. What made him even more surprised was that Dongfang Longba was very polite to him, and could even be said to be flattering. When talking to him, he called himself "I" and was not at all superior to the emperor.
taste.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster, but he really can't figure out what Dongfang Longba is going to do.
Under the attention of Dongfang Longba, he took a sip and drank it into his stomach. He didn't feel anything at first. When the tea entered his taste buds, suddenly, a strong fragrance rushed back into his throat. He felt as if he was flying up.
Same as cloud top.
“Great tea!”
Lu Chen couldn't help but praise. Hearing his praise, Dongfang Longba smiled brightly and said, "It tastes good. Apart from me, I only gave this Yunding tea to you."
"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty. I wonder why Your Majesty called me here."
well!
Dongfang Longba sighed and said, "If it weren't for Ming Jingting, even if I asked someone to invite you, you wouldn't come back, would you?"
"Don't dare!"
"I know you dare. In fact, I know that many people in the entire dynasty do not take me as the emperor seriously. Some of them are willing to listen to Tianbao Pavilion, some are willing to listen to Yaowang Valley, and some are willing to listen to Shengtang. As an emperor, I
He's just a puppet."
Lu Chen opened his mouth, and suddenly his whole body became cold. The other party even told him this, was he trying to kill people and silence them?#160;#160;
Whether it is the royal family or other powerful forces, the more you know, the more dangerous you are.
Lu Chen really wanted to cover his ears and say that he couldn't hear anything, but that might make him die faster.
He could only try his best to keep calm and pretend to be listening attentively. At this moment, Lu Chen was thinking, if the emperor killed him and begged him to let his family go, he would agree, right? If Dongfang Long
What should I do if Ba doesn't agree to it?
Send a dragon-suppressing stake and a new method of alchemy.
If the other party still refused to let go of his family, Lu Chen vowed to make the other party splatter with blood even if he tried to break his body into pieces.
"Lu Chen, I want to make a deal with you." Dongfang Longba's eyes were solemn as never before, and his voice brought Lu Chen back to reality. He sat up straight, ready to meet the harsh conditions offered by Dongfang Longba.
"I hope you can build a family in the imperial capital. The bigger the family, the better."
"Build... build a family?"
Lu Chen opened his mouth wide, with surprise written all over his face. For the safety of his family, he was ready to accept any harsh conditions from Dongfang Longba, but in the end, the other party actually asked him to establish a family. Is this considered a request?
Are you hallucinating?
Lu Chen pinched himself violently, and a burning pain came from his thigh. The clear pain told him that this was not an illusion, this was real.
Calm down! Calm down!
Lu Chen calmed down his ecstasy, and started to run his mind like a machine, analyzing the purpose of the other party. Even if he beat him to death, he didn't want to believe that Dongfang Longba simply asked him to establish a family. His mind was spinning.
Turning around, he finally found the answer.
Dongfang Longba now has an embarrassing status. He is the emperor, but is not taken seriously by others. He is eager to grow stronger. In order not to be hindered by the three major forces, he needs other people to disturb their sight. And Lu Chen is
The best candidate, he has a dragon-suppressing stake and a new alchemy method in his hands. These treasures are coveted by the three major forces. Once he is pushed to the forefront, he will quietly strengthen the royal family.
After understanding the other party's thoughts, Lu Chen also had confidence in his heart. In fact, even if Dongfang Longba didn't push him to the forefront, he would still be the target of the three major forces. Now at least he has the thigh of the royal family to embrace. Although the royal family has
Thighs are not the thickest, but mosquito legs are legs too, not to mention that the royal family are much thicker than mosquito legs.
Now that he knew the other party's intentions, how could Lu Chen be willing to suffer a loss? A look of embarrassment appeared on his face, his brows furrowed in a Sichuan shape, and he said: "Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to, but it's too difficult to create a family. First of all, choose
Land is a problem. Secondly, establishing a family house requires a lot of money, and I am poor. Thirdly, building a house requires craftsmen. I am not familiar with the royal capital, and I have offended many people.
It’s hard to find someone to help. It’s hard to make a fool of myself without rice. It’s not that I don’t want to, but that I really have no other choice.”
Seeing Lu Chen crying, Dongfang Longba's cheeks couldn't help but twitch. He didn't know that this guy was negotiating terms with him. But in order to divert the attention of the three major forces, he endured the bleeding in his heart and said: "I will help you solve these problems.
.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, I have a small request."
Lu Chen rubbed his hands and said: "I want to build an alchemy pavilion. Can you send someone to fix it for me then? It's best to get some ground fire and an alchemy furnace or something. No matter how good the quality is, I'll give it to you."
Don’t dislike it.”
"Do you have any other requests?"
Seeing Dongfang Longba's face as dark as coal, Lu Chen quickly shook his head. While slandering the other party for being stingy, he also swore to the sky: "I, Lu Chen, swear to God, as long as your majesty can revive Jingting, I will
I will work hard to create a noble family in the royal capital."
Immediately his serious expression turned into flattering, and he said: "Your Majesty, can you revive Jingting?"
"Lu Chen, do you think Ming Jingting didn't wake up because I did something?" Dongfang Longba said with a faint smile. At this moment, he regained a little pleasure.
"Isn't it?" Lu Chen's eyes widened, feeling vaguely that he had been cheated.
"To tell you the truth, I didn't do anything. Now Ming Jingting has all the normal life characteristics, but she can't wake up. In fact, when you got the holy liquid back, I knew it would be like this. Because back then I, Dongfang
The same is true for our ancestors."
"Then your majesty's ancestor is awake?" Lu Chen stretched his ears and listened.
"Of course, the holy liquid can indeed resurrect human flesh and bones, but it cannot revive a dying person. If you want him to revive, you need one more thing, to be precise, a pill."
"Elixir?"
"Yes, the soul-inducing pill is needed to completely restore her soul and wake her up completely. My ancestor of the Dongfang family was in the same situation as Ming Jingting, and it was only after he took the soul-inducing pill that he woke up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice."
Lu Chen bowed deeply to Dongfang Longba. Seeing him being so solemn, it was Dongfang Longba's turn to be surprised and said bitterly: "As long as you don't blame me, I will be satisfied. I just said, I am the emperor
In the eyes of many people, it is nothing more than a decoration, and asking you to create a family is just a last resort. I need someone who can attract the attention of the three major forces and slowly develop their own power. And you..."
"And I have the dragon-suppressing stake and a new alchemy method, which can attract them."
"That's right." Dongfang Longba nodded. Seeing Lu Chen with a calm face, he was surprised and said, "Lu Chen, don't you blame me?"
Lu Chen shook his head. He really didn't blame Dongfang Longba at all. On the contrary, he was very grateful to him. In fact, even if he didn't establish a family, he would still be the target of public criticism. Now that Dongfang Longba supports him, he has become a tool to divert his attention.
, but he can also use the other party as a shield. Who can tell clearly who has more advantages?
