"Where's the Fourth Prince? Didn't you tell me that he has arrived in Beijing? I want to see him."

Somehow, Emperor Kang, who was extremely lonely, suddenly remembered this prince who had been neglected by him for many years and sent to the frontier.

"Your Majesty..."

Eunuch Zhang hesitated for a moment and then changed his words.

"Your Majesty, Your Royal Highness has just arrived today. He is probably attending the enthronement ceremony. I will let you know when the time comes."

Emperor Kang snorted coldly with an annoyed look on his face.

"You change your mouth very quickly."

Eunuch Zhang replied humbly.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but I can't help it. I'm afraid that others will listen and say that I'm disrespectful in front of the new emperor. I have to live, right?"

Kandi wanted to have a fit, but couldn't find a reason, so he could only hold it back. At this moment, his heart was full of resentment, and there was no one to talk to. After thinking about it, he finally remembered someone.

"Let Concubine Jing come over and chat with me."

Concubine Jing was the mother of the fourth prince Li Heng. She was also a peerless beauty captured by Emperor Kangxi during his campaign against the Yan Dynasty. She had an introverted and gentle personality and did not fight or rob her. Emperor Kang had not seen her since the fourth prince was demoted to the frontier.

Eunuch Zhang was slightly shocked and then replied.

"Your Majesty, you have forgotten that Concubine Jing has passed away for more than two years, and it was the Imperial Master who recited the liberation spell for her back then!"

Only then did Emperor Kang remember that something like this seemed to have happened. He had been practicing asceticism in Taihua Temple and hadn't paid much attention to it.

He thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't find a caring person. Finally, he sighed deeply and said,

"It's better to be the queen. Thinking about the poisoning at the prince's banquet, I must have fallen into the prince's trick and wrongly blamed her. At that time, I wish I could have seen her for the last time..."

He regretted and recalled the glorious past. Empress Liu supported him without hesitation and helped him conquer the battlefield to dominate the world. He had also been brave and fearless, but since he was in danger in the Taikang Mountain Fire, he had fear. Fear The glory, wealth, and supreme rights you possess will eventually be lost.

"No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot withstand illness and cannot escape death."

He sighed in loneliness and fell asleep unknowingly. When he opened his eyes again, he saw Li Yunxi standing in front of him wearing a dragon robe, looking down at him. Next to that person was Concubine Shu wearing the imperial robe of the Queen Mother.

show off! Definitely showing off!

He thought angrily, and wanted to yell and get out, but a piece of old phlegm got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't help but cough violently, one after another, and he couldn't speak at all.

Looking at Emperor Kang like this, a complex and unspeakable look flashed across Li Yunxi's face. His peach blossom eyes reflected Emperor Kang's current pitiful appearance - his mouth and eyes were crooked, his face was haggard, and his body was shaking like a sieve due to coughing.

This once all-powerful monarch is now like a candle that has run out of oil and may be extinguished at any time.

Li Yunxi lowered his eyes and said as if he felt guilty.

"It seems that my father is very ill and needs to be nursed back to health."

Eunuch Zhang helped Emperor Kang up and used a spittoon to help him catch the phlegm. Then he turned his head and said to Li Yunxi with a worried look on his face.

"Your Majesty, you haven't recovered from your illness yet. It's better to stay away from your Majesty and wear a mask to avoid mutual infection!"

Emperor Kang, who was already sulking, became even more annoyed when he heard this. He pushed away Li Yunxi who was trying to help him rub his chest, and cursed with a heavy breath.

"Stop being so hypocritical. Why do you think I am so sick? It's not because of you unfilial piety. You are all looking forward to my death!"

Facing Emperor Kang who was seriously ill, Li Yunxi seemed to have no intention of showing off his rhetoric. He took a deep breath and spoke calmly.

"Yes, my son and I are unfilial. In the eyes of my father, your noble life, let alone sacrificing hundreds of babies, is nothing even if it is tens of thousands of human lives? But, have you ever thought about it, even if my son and I are not filial?" Even if you come to stop it, you won’t get what you want.”

Kandi was a little confused and asked, "What do you mean?"

Li Yunxi continued: "My son personally interrogated the imperial master. The story is very twists and turns. I believe my father will be interested."

Then, he ordered the young eunuchs to move their chairs, cross one of their long legs, and tell the story in a leisurely manner.

The national preceptor was originally named Cheng Feng, the son of an unknown minister in the former dynasty. Because his father was implicated, he was dragged to the river to be beheaded. He was accidentally rescued by Gou Chen and joined the Dark Snake.

Later, Cheng Feng was commissioned by Gou Chen to go to Jiuxian Mountain to explore the secret of Cangmen's immortality. He pretended to be a desperate man who was being chased by officers and soldiers, and won the sympathy of Cangmen disciple Zhang Shengqi, and successfully entered the Taoist temple to become a disciple.

However, the master had a grudge against Cheng Feng and only taught him some superficial skills but not the real essence.

Later, Zhang Shengqi was expelled from the sect for secretly drinking the master's wine. Cheng Feng became more and more dissatisfied with the master and wanted to seize the Cang Sect secrets and the treasures handed down from generation to generation for himself.
