"Dragon Lord wakes up, God gives you a blessing? This, such a big thing, no one noticed in advance?"
Who said that because Dragon Girl is young, there is nothing to worry about? This is obviously recognized by God!
How can a Taoist who discovers such a major event continue to make elixirs in peace?
"You two are guarding the alchemy furnace here, and no one is allowed to come near it, you know?" After giving these instructions, the Taoist quickly left the hall.
It is not far from the emperor's palace.
Because of his special waistband, he was let through when he encountered patrolling guards on the road. However, when he arrived at the emperor's palace, he was stopped by the eunuch who was on duty today.
This eunuch was somewhat respectable in front of the emperor. He was less than thirty years old, he was kind and upright, and he looked like a good person.
At this time, facing the Taoist's request, he just smiled and said: "Master Huo, our family can only help with other things, but in the middle of the night, the emperor has just fallen asleep... You, don't
It’s hard for our family. In another hour and a half, it will be time to go to court. At that time, if you have anything to do, it won’t be long before you report it to the emperor, right?”
The Taoist frowned: "This matter is related to the safety of the world and cannot be delayed. I also ask my father-in-law to go in and report it immediately. After another hour, I'm afraid it will be too late."
But the eunuch didn't listen to this at all. The minister liked to scaremonger and make even more exaggerated statements than this. He had heard of them all. If he was like this and refused to say anything to him, he just asked him to go in and report it at this time. This man got
The crime was a small matter, but it was a big deal to implicate him, and the eunuch didn't want to take the risk.
However, this man was an alchemist, and he was really capable. Several princes and princesses relied on the elixirs he made to survive their early deaths, and the emperor also relied on this elixir to maintain his health. He did not want to offend him, so he said helplessly: "Master, you are the same as me."
Let’s talk about what an important matter it is! We serve the emperor, are loyal to the emperor, and are the emperor’s close people. How can we leak it after learning what you want to say?”
"You didn't say anything, you just let our family disturb the emperor's rest. Is it okay for you to say this yourself?"
"If I tell you this, I will harm you." The Taoist said coldly: "There are some things that you can know and I can't."
"There are still some things that I know you cannot know. I remind you that you must inform the emperor immediately about this matter. If you are ignorant and it really delays the matter, the responsibility will be on you!"
"You!" When he said this, the eunuch immediately blushed and pointed at the Taoist: "You" for a long time, but he didn't dare to say those curse words.
With a flick of his sleeves, he turned around and walked inside.
After entering the door of the outer hall, the little eunuch who followed him was very smart and tried to persuade him: "This man looks weird. He suddenly came here so late and insisted on seeing the emperor. Is there really something big and important?"
"The emperor attaches great importance to it anyway, so why not report it? The responsibility lies with him anyway."
The eldest eunuch cursed a few times in a low voice, holding a breath in his chest, indicating that he had an unreasonable intention, but he stopped again when he thought of the way the Taoist looked at him coldly just now.
"That's all, let's go in and report him. He has nothing important to do. I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to spare him. It won't be too late to deal with him then!" Because he was a little afraid of the Taoist, the chief eunuch finally chose to enter the inner hall, but
My heart was silently cruel.
The emperor's palace is not as magnificent or majestic as outsiders think, but it tends to be simple and comfortable.
There is also a sleep-aid incense burning next to it. The light aroma is not pungent. It makes people feel comfortable after smelling it.
At this time, under the golden brocade quilt, the emperor was frowning and sleeping uneasily.
The chief eunuch walked up to him, knelt down, and called softly: "Your Majesty?"
Seeing that the emperor did not wake up, he called out again: "Your Majesty!"
"Huh?" After another call, the emperor woke up faintly not long after falling asleep. He didn't get up immediately, nor did he get angry, but asked coldly: "What's the matter?"
The emperor knew that there was nothing serious at this time, so it was impossible to call him. To put it mildly, unless the queen was dead, or even if Concubine Wu was dead, she would not be woken up, and she would have to wait until tomorrow to report to the court.
"Master Huo suddenly asked for a meeting, saying that he has something extremely important and must see you immediately to report to you." The eunuch replied in a low voice.
"Let him wait in the outer hall." The emperor hummed and sat up slowly.
The chief eunuch then stood up and waved his hand, and immediately the palace maid and eunuch quietly came up to help the emperor dress and put on his boots.
The Taoist who was called to wait in the outer hall was quite restless, frowning as he waited, staring in the direction coming out of the palace, very anxiously.
After a while, several little eunuchs came out, and the emperor who walked out of the palace, being supported by the big eunuch, looked over with a calm expression.
"Tell me, why do you want to see me now?" The emperor was a little unhappy because he was disturbed just after falling asleep. Although he was not angry, he still asked directly.
The Taoist glanced at the others and hesitated.
"Just say it." The emperor said.
The Taoist then said: "Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Just now when I was refining elixirs, a strange phenomenon suddenly occurred in the Dragon King's Palace. A dragon spit out jade beads!"
After saying this, the emperor immediately stood up and waved his hand.
All the eunuchs, including the chief eunuch, all retreated.
The emperor's face was slightly sullen. At this time, his whole face fell and he did not speak. He only listened to the Taoist continue to say: "This is the legal system of the previous dynasty, specifically in response to the Dragon Lord. I immediately calculated and found that this is the time when the Dragon Lord wakes up."
Xiang, God has blessed a new king, and all the demons have a master again!"
"You said the Dragon King is awake?" The emperor's eyes flashed coldly. He walked a few steps and suddenly asked, "Didn't you say she was just the Dragon Girl?"
"She is a dragon girl, but a dragon girl can also inherit the water palace and become a dragon king. This demon is different from a human, so how can there be any gender distinction? They all judge status based on strength."
The Taoist replied in his heart, but did not say the words out loud.
After all, in this world, there has never been a case of a woman inheriting the throne in the previous dynasties or in the current dynasty. If I say it, I am afraid that it will cause trouble, so I simply shut up and wait for the emperor to figure it out.
After a while, the silent emperor looked at him again: "I know about this."
Just as he was about to wave him away, the chief eunuch came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Yu and Mr. Liu are knocking on the door outside the palace to ask for an audience."
"Don't leave yet." The emperor immediately woke up and pointed at the Taoist: "Since everyone is here, let's simply resolve this matter."
Then he said to the eunuch: "Go out of the palace in person, take my instructions to Luo Pei, and ask him to enter the palace immediately without any mistakes!"
"Yes! My slave, go now!" The eldest eunuch knew that he had encountered something big, and he didn't even dare to take another look. He immediately responded and hurried out.
