The harem is extremely quiet, like a pool of stagnant water, and there are very few maids.
Confusion appeared on the faces of Emperor Chu, Han Zhiyun, and Fei Ling'er. In the past, the harem was full of laughter and laughter, and the girls worked together to create new wines, danced on the piano, and sang poems.
But now, it seems desolate and deserted, which makes people feel unreal. Compared with the prosperous divine capital of Luoyang, the depths of the harem are like a deserted land that no one cares about.
The three of them took the lead to go to Ningxiang Palace. Although they found no trace of the women, they finally saw the figures of the chambermaids. Suddenly seeing the arrival of Emperor Chu, the four chamberlains were frightened. They moved forward and knelt down to salute.
"Slave~"
"No need to salute, tell me where are all my beloved concubines now?"
Emperor Chu's expression was solemn and majestic, and his powerful voice echoed. The four people were trembling, and the leading maid's voice was trembling.
"Your Majesty, all the ladies are practicing in seclusion. Since the Queen, Shangguan, and the prince disappeared, the ladies have started to retreat. I haven't seen them for a long time."
"Closed-door practice?"
Emperor Chu turned around with a flick of his sleeves and said in a loud voice: "Send orders to Xiao Guizi to come to Ningxiang Palace to see you immediately!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, I'm afraid the steward may not be able to come!"
The little eunuch who was kneeling on the ground whispered, fearing that Emperor Chu would be blamed, he did not dare to breathe out while crawling on the ground.
"What's wrong with Xiao Guizi? Why can't you come?"
"General manager, he, he..."
"Say, hesitating and hesitating, what a shame!"
Emperor Chu was a little angry, not because of the little eunuch, but because of the people who kidnapped Nangong Xi. They made the Chu State Palace lose its vitality.
In the past, Ningxiang Palace was the most relaxing and comfortable place for him. Every time he came there, he felt like going home, surrounded by women and laughing again and again. But now everything was gone, and the entire harem was enveloped in a depressing atmosphere.
It makes people a little breathless.
"Your Majesty, the general manager has been appointed for a short time. Eunuch Hai has always been in charge of all affairs in the harem!"
"Xiao Guizi is not going to die soon?"
Xiao Guizi was the first person to support Emperor Chu when he traveled across the war continent. He had always been loyal, and even to protect Nangong Xi, the three of them were seriously injured. How could they suddenly die soon? This shocked Emperor Chu.
"Zhiyun, Ling'er, you two go find other concubines and come to Ningxiang Palace. I'll go check on Xiao Guizi first."
Emperor Chu was originally planning to call Xiao Guizi to come and ask him to send someone to inform Diao Chan, Wang Zhaojun, Lin Jun, Chen Yuanyuan and A Cihai of the arrival of the other girls. Now he can only let Han Zhiyun and Fei Ling'er go.
The two women bowed and saluted, and left with the two palace maids. Emperor Chu glanced at the little eunuch kneeling at his feet and said: "Lead the way and go to the Prison House immediately."
Two chamberlains led the way. Within a moment of burning incense, Emperor Chu came to the outside of the prison palace. This is where the eunuchs of the palace lived. Xiao Guizi, as the palace manager, was of course among them, but he lived alone in a courtyard.
.
A little while.
Arriving at Xiao Guizi's courtyard, two chamberlains came forward to report: "Master Manager, Your Majesty is here in person!"
The sound echoed under the sky. After a long time, the door opened and a figure appeared. Emperor Chu looked at it intently and was shocked.
Xiao Guizi was only in her early twenties, but the figure in front of her was a twilight old man, skinny as a stick, with gray hair. No wonder the two chamberlains said that he would die soon.
"Slave Xiao Guizi, please pay homage to Your Majesty!"
Seeing him bowing and saluting, his figure was on the verge of falling. Two chamberlains came forward to help him. Emperor Chu raised his hand and said, "No need to be polite, tell me what's going on with your body!"
Hearing Emperor Chu's inquiry, Xiao Guizi fell into memories. On that day, Nangong Xi, Chu Chen, and Shangguan Bangning were kidnapped. He tried to stop them but was seriously injured.
I thought it was just an internal injury that had not healed, and I would recover after a period of adjustment. However, I did not expect that my body was deteriorating, and the true energy in my body was constantly losing. My cultivation level had dropped from the upper level of the Martial Saint Realm to the lower level of the Martial King Realm. Even my body functions were rapidly deteriorating.
, the whole person is aging rapidly.
When Emperor Chu heard Xiao Guizi's memories, his expression condensed, and he thought to himself that maybe he could use his injuries as clues to find the assassin who abducted the three people.
"Little bitch, check Xiao Guizi's body right away to see what's causing him to look like this!"
"Hey, the system is scanning, host, please wait!"
"Hey, the system scan was successful and the demonic energy of death was found in Xiao Guizi's body!"
"The devilish energy of death?"
"Little bitch, do you know the source of the evil spirit of death?"
Emperor Chu asked. In the past, when Gai Yan was killed in the Forest of Demons, no death demonic energy was found on him. At the same time, he did not know where Nangong Xi and the others were.
Various signs indicate that the person who came to Luoyang, the capital of the gods, to kidnap Nangong Xi and the other three people, and someone else, someone with the evil aura of death, must have something to do with this matter.
"Demon?"
Emperor Chu first targeted the demons, but he soon overturned his idea. The forces behind the Great Qin Empire were the Excavation Corps and the Soul Emperor Palace, which had nothing to do with the demons.
The whole thing became more and more mysterious. Who was behind it? Emperor Chu could not help but worry that this was another long-planned conspiracy.
"Hey, remind the host that the evil spirit of death is evil, a domineering and destructive energy. The system cannot find the source of the breath in Xiao Guizi's body, but this evil spirit of death is nothing in front of the host."
"The source of immortality in the host's body is the nemesis of the evil energy of death. As long as the host swallows the evil energy of death in Xiao Guizi's body, his body will soon return to its original state."
Xiao Jian's voice sounded, and Emperor Chu nodded gently. Since the traces of the assassins cannot be found, the days are long. As long as they exist for nine days and ten earths, one day, they will have to pay a bloody price for their actions.
The most urgent task now is to save Xiao Guizi first. Although he is a slave, Emperor Chu does not intend to give up on him.
It was easy to save him, so why not do it? The assassin failed to kill Xiao Guizi with one strike. Emperor Chu would make Xiao Guizi become the assassin's nightmare in the future.
I can't get rid of it forever, my mood changes when I talk about it, and I feel anxious all day long!
"Xiao Guizi, I will help you heal your internal injuries. Remember, after you recover, you will spare no effort to track down the whereabouts of the assassin."
"I want to settle old and new grudges with them one by one!"
As he spoke, Emperor Chu's vast zhenqi was released. When he raised his hand, Xiao Guizi's figure was suspended in the void, and two zhenqi palm prints were slapped on Xiao Guizi's back.
The source of immortality in Emperor Chu's body was moving, his palms were pulled away, and two huge masses of black aura were continuously pumped out of Xiao Guizi's body.
"Whoa!"
Emperor Chu's sleeves fluttered, and the black aura in the void disappeared and quickly sank into his body. The demonic aura of death wandered around. Facing the devouring source of immortality, it was like a mouse meeting a cat, scurrying around in the meridians, but in the end he could not escape death.
, were wiped out.
"Xiao Guizi, I give you the elixir in this jade bottle to restore your strength as quickly as possible. I am waiting for you to bring good news and find the whereabouts of the assassin."
The vast sound echoed, Emperor Chu retracted his arm, ripples appeared in the void, and the waves of true energy spread and disappeared under the sky.
"I thank Your Majesty for your kindness in reincarnating me. I will definitely find out the whereabouts of the assassins and have them shattered to pieces!" (To be continued)
