As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden thunder in the sky, and then a gust of wind and rain rushed in. Huidao couldn't help but shudder. Looking at it, the sky and the night were mixed together, and there was only a faint glow. He couldn't help but stop talking. After a long time, he saw Taoist Mengxi.
He looked pale and smiled again.
"You don't have to be too panicked. There are strong winds and thunder, and a sudden change in the sky is imminent. If the acting king has no chance, how can he deserve this change?"
He smiled, was silent for a while, and finally did not continue on this topic. He just said: "Those ghosts and gods are wild gods. They occasionally think about their luck, but they don't know how to respect them. They dare to kill the king and backfire."
"Even if the Hundred Gods Riot was fierce at first, most of them were wiped out in one go. This is the unfathomable power of God..."
Huidao seemed to be feeling something, and his tone was full of emotion.
At the same time, Su Ziji also stood under the eaves and looked into the distance. The raindrops fell from the eaves and fell to the ground with a crackling sound.
There were bursts of thunder in the distance, rumbling and rumbling. Although it was very far away, it was shocking and made people tremble in their hearts.
Su Ziji watched quietly and suddenly smiled.
"Most of the evil consequences of destroying the temple have been wiped out, and the remaining ones don't have much time to live. No matter who comes to power at this time, they can easily clean up the situation..."
Just when he was in a happy mood, a maid came quickly and saw the king. She didn't even bother to salute, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the princess is pregnant!"
"What?" As soon as the emotion disappeared, Su Ziji immediately turned his head and strode inside.
"Quick! Quick!"
Not far from the assassination of King Qi, a restaurant has been requisitioned. There are many armored soldiers, all holding swords, and the place is completely surrounded. The sound of horse hooves is endless, and people are constantly coming over in a hurry, getting off the horse. At this moment, several more
The man came quickly on horseback, urging his horse constantly.
"Father, father-in-law! Be careful! Slow down!" The little eunuch who was following him was frightened and reminded him while urging his horse to follow.
The rider running in front was dressed in the uniform of a great eunuch. He had a kind face and kind eyes, but at the moment his face was gloomy and he looked anxious. He was none other than Eunuch Zhao, who had been keeping a very low profile recently.
The former leader, the Great Eunuch, has been staying in his small courtyard during this period. Regardless of whether he is still in charge of the power secretly, he has indeed disappeared on the surface.
But now, when there was such a big event as the assassination of King Qi, he rushed over quickly. This made the onlookers secretly surprised, wondering whether the balance of power in the palace was going to change again.
"Leave us alone!" Eunuch Zhao ignored the exclamations of others. As soon as he rode his horse to the restaurant, he reined in the mount in a dangerous posture, turned over and dismounted, and waved away to help the little eunuch.
Walking towards the door.
As soon as I walked over, I saw the soldiers standing on both sides of the column, each holding a long sword in his hand and looking at him like a tiger. It was a scene of solemn killing. This was not surprising.
There are already several doctors whispering under the eaves, seeming to be discussing the properties and prescriptions of medicines. People are coming and going, some are carrying water, some are picking medicines, and some are cooking stoves. The aroma of medicines has filled the hospital. This is normal, but it is just visible.
There were several Taoists inside, which made Eunuch Zhao's eyes flash with surprise.
"Zhao, Eunuch Zhao..." Ma Shunde was coming out of the restaurant, and when he saw Eunuch Zhao, his expression suddenly changed.
"It turns out that Eunuch Ma arrived early, how fast!" Eunuch Zhao's expression did not change and he said, "I am here for a visit, what happened to King Qi?"
Saying that, he stepped inside.
Ma Shunde's face turned pale after being glanced at by Eunuch Zhao. He could only follow, but he felt extremely aggrieved.
The assassination of King Qi seemed to have nothing to do with him, but when King Qi was assassinated, he happened to be nearby. Even if it had nothing to do with it, based on what he knew about the emperor's character, he would most likely be angered...
No, although he has made a comeback, Eunuch Zhao, who has learned a lesson, has been keeping a low profile and dormant. Does this sudden appearance in front of people mean that something unthinkable is about to happen?
Obviously, Eunuch Zhao has become more powerful again.
Obviously, he had already ordered the young eunuch to return to the palace to report. If the emperor did not express his anger, all he had to do was let himself enter the palace and report in detail. But now he sent Eunuch Zhao, which was enough to show that the emperor was already suspicious.
There are many differences between eunuchs and ministers. Life and death, honor and disgrace all depend on the king's thoughts. When he thinks of this, Ma Shunde has a bitter taste in his mouth.
But facing Eunuch Zhao who came with the order, Ma Shunde had to brace himself and talk to Eunuch Zhao.
"Yes, I was also ordered to investigate the robbers. When I heard that King Qi was assassinated, I quickly took my bodyguard to protect the king. I have already sent people to properly arrange for King Qi."
As he spoke, he seemed to have taken the credit for himself.
"Really?" Eunuch Zhao said with a sad face, "I don't know what King Qi's situation is like, but our family is very anxious!"
After exchanging a few words, the two of them passed through the lobby and arrived at the backyard.
"Eunuch Zhao, it's too late for other imperial doctors, so we have invited the famous nearby imperial physician Xu Xiaoliang. It is said that he is a good teacher. He is diagnosing King Qi's pulse inside... Hey!"
Ma Shunde led Eunuch Zhao to the door of a room. He wanted to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say. After hesitating for a moment, he had no choice but to step aside and let him in.
Who told Eunuch Zhao to act according to orders?
Eunuch Zhao gently pushed the door open and went in. This room was probably the residence of the restaurant owner. It looked clean and tidy. There were a few candles lit in the room. Although it was not very bright, one could clearly see the situation on the bed while standing at the door.
There were armored soldiers and young eunuchs guarding the bed, and there were a few Taoist priests beside them. The leader looked familiar, and he looked carefully. Isn't this Liu Zhan and Liu Zhenren?
I didn't see the doctor Xu mentioned just now, but several Taoists, especially Liu Zhan, are proficient in medical skills and have life-saving elixirs on their bodies. At this time, they may be more useful than ordinary doctors.
Eunuch Zhao ignored the others and strode over directly.
When he arrived at the bedside, he saw King Qi lying on his back, his face pale and almost without blood. He couldn't help but feel frightened. He actually understood the emperor's intention. If something happened to King Qi, it would be a big disaster. He didn't know how much bloodshed would be caused.
rain.
Eunuch Zhao calmed down and carefully placed his fingers under King Qi's nose while still breathing.
King Qi's chest also rose and fell, although it was weak, but at least he was still alive.
Eunuch Zhao looked at it and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief. The situation of King Qi could not be settled, but as long as he was still alive, he could explain it to the emperor when he went back to report.
"I wonder what's going on with King Qi? Our family has to go back to the palace to report to the emperor." Although he checked his breath and knew that King Qi was still alive, it was definitely not enough to just bring back such a perfunctory answer. Eunuch Zhao directly asked the people present.
.
Ma Shunde was behind Eunuch Zhao at this time and was silent when he heard these words.
Liu Zhan raised his eyes and glanced at Eunuch Zhao, and muttered: "I'm not an imperial physician, and I can't say for sure, but I have a life-saving pill that has been taken by King Qi. His life will definitely be fine. As for other things, I have to give him a life-saving pill."
