Lonely Immortal

In the palace of Dayan City, the old emperor has made up his mind.

"I have made up my mind, no need to say more!"

I don't know what the old emperor thought of, but he suddenly rejected the proposal of the empress dowager.

He had agreed to it before, how can this be reflected? But he really rejected the proposal of the empress dowager, why?

The empress dowager was extremely shocked. She looked at the old emperor in great confusion. The old Taoist of the sword path remained silent. He had been here with the old emperor and the empress dowager for a while. He didn't think about the selection of the prince, because he didn't care about it, and it was not his responsibility. His mind was all on Bai Feiyan.

He didn't know why Bai Feiyan didn't reply to him. This was not like Bai Feiyan's usual style, but he couldn't continue to send more messages, so he could only wait patiently.

"Your Majesty, how can you go back on your word?"

The Queen Mother was extremely dissatisfied after being shocked, "Your Majesty, do you know that a king never jokes?"

The old emperor didn't say anything, his face was tense, he was unwilling to use the Queen Mother's method to select the martial arts champion, this matter was so strange, the old emperor seemed to have changed into a different person, he was fine just now, but in the blink of an eye, his face changed again.

At this time, the head of Zhongjiandao finally noticed this, he glanced at the old emperor, his eyelids jumped, the old emperor's complexion was not right, there was a dark cloud on his head, and his eyebrows were dark blue, what strange changes had occurred?

He couldn't help but step forward and grab the old emperor's wrist. The old emperor was frightened by this sudden action. He was about to scold, but the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao shouted coldly in a very serious manner: "Your Majesty, don't move!"

The old emperor was actually stunned by this cold shout and didn't dare to move. The head of Zhongjiandao frowned and thought, and seemed to feel something was wrong. He couldn't help but raise his hand and press it on the old emperor's vest.

With a bang, the old emperor spurted out a mouthful of black blood instantly.

"Bold!"

The empress dowager stood up in shock. What was she going to do? Could it be that the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao was going to murder the emperor?

But the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao raised his hand to stop the empress dowager's impulse. He looked very solemn and said: "Empress Dowager, the emperor has been bewitched and cannot be approached. He is now temporarily deprived of his mind..."

Before the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao finished speaking, the old emperor screamed and then fell straight down.

"Your Majesty!"

The Empress Dowager and the Empress were both horrified and rushed over. The old Taoist who was in the sword way obviously did not expect that this witchcraft was so domineering that he could shatter the old emperor's mind from his hands. What kind of evil way was this?

"Quick, go and get the imperial physician!"

The Empress Dowager was anxious. After all, the old emperor was her son, but the old Taoist who was in the sword way saw a sachet on the Empress Dowager's waist at a glance, and he pulled the sachet off in an instant.

"You are so bold, what are you going to do!"

The Empress Dowager was horrified again, but the old Taoist who was in the sword way seemed not to hear it. He picked up the sachet and looked at it for a while, then raised his hand and pointed at it, and the sachet burned with a bang.

"Hahahaha...hahaha..."

Suddenly, a sound like a demonic wind spread in the hall.

"Li Da?!"

When the Empress Dowager heard this voice, she knew it was Li Da's voice, and she was horrified again.

"Hehehe... You have harmed me for so many years, and you finally got your retribution. You and your son, as well as you, the old Taoist, all wait for death!"

Li Da's voice spread arrogantly in the hall, and then the voice gradually dissipated, and the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao suddenly became extremely ugly. He groaned and staggered back.

The empress dowager also felt a blockage in her heart, and then her eyes went black, and she fell down.

This time, the old emperor, the empress dowager, and the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao were all tricked. I don't know what kind of witchcraft this is, and I don't know who in the world came up with such a domineering and vicious trick, and they were all knocked down in front of the old Taoist of Zhongjiandao.

"Someone, someone, come!..."

The queen was the only one left crying. She was fine, which was strange. She was probably the farthest away and didn't talk much. She saw everything that happened just now and was very scared.

Fortunately, she was far away and couldn't interrupt the conversation. It seemed that she had escaped. Otherwise, they would all fall down at this moment.

This matter was even more serious. However, soon, the guards and the palace maids and eunuchs all came. They were also extremely shocked. The emperor and the empress dowager were both unconscious. As for the life or death of the old Taoist, they didn't care much, but after the imperial doctor came, they naturally had to treat them all. In this way, the palace instantly became chaotic.

As for the martial arts examination and the dethronement of the prince, it basically came to an end, and the queen also summoned the ministers to the palace to discuss countermeasures at this moment.

At this time, all the court officials came. As the most important person in the court, the cabinet minister and the nursing imperial teacher, he was naturally the first to bear the brunt. He was the father of the queen and the father-in-law of the emperor. When he learned about what happened in the palace, he was naturally very anxious.

"Is what the Taoist said right?"

The old masters of Zhongjian Dao never tell each other names, and even the imperial masters don't know how to call each other. But the queen just said that it was Li Da's conspiracy to frame the emperor and the empress dowager. The old master said it was some kind of witchcraft.

"I don't know about this, but that's what he said. Now the imperial doctor has also looked at it and said it's very difficult to handle."

The queen pretended to be calm. She had never taken care of things, but suddenly everything fell on her head. She had to pretend to be calm.

"Where is the prince?"

The Imperial Master felt that he had nothing to say to his daughter. This daughter had always been weak in character and was unable to speak out, so it would be better to let the prince make the decision.

"I have already summoned him. He should be on the way."

"Well, that's good. Let's make a long-term plan when the prince comes."

The imperial master obviously still planned to wait for the prince to come and take a closer look at how to make a decision.

At this moment, all the ministers are here in the palace. Most of these ministers are on the side of the prince. Of course, if something happens to the emperor, the princes will definitely show up. As for the military exercises, If it is naturally postponed or even cancelled, and the emperor falls and the whole group is leaderless, then generally only the prince, the crown prince, can make decisions.

Anyone with some brains will know what is going on, but the Queen is a brainless woman. She thought it was Li Da's conspiracy, because Li Da's voice did appear in the hall, so since It was Li Da who came to take revenge on the emperor, so there was nothing surprising about it.

But she also saw Li Da's voice coming from the sachet on the Empress Dowager's waist. How come the Empress Dowager's sachet had Li Da's voice? This was what she couldn't understand, and she didn't say anything about it. She always felt that it would be inappropriate if the Queen Mother was implicated in this matter.

Just imagine, this sachet is already some kind of poison, but this poison was actually brought in by the Empress Dowager. If the Queen Mother hadn't brought it in with her, it would not be easy for someone outside to bring some kind of poison in. That would be It was checked by the guards at all levels.

But who dares to search the Empress Dowager’s personal belongings? Therefore, this matter involves the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager herself has also been tricked. It is obviously not the Empress Dowager who wants to harm the Emperor. Besides, why does the Empress Dowager harm the Emperor? That's her biological son!

As for this group of court ministers, they don’t have any good suggestions. They are basically no different from trash. If they were not trash, they would not be where they are today. The emperor is too suspicious and will not reuse good ministers, nor can he use traitorous ministers. The emperor doesn't know how to reuse him, so he is just a bunch of mediocre ministers.

These mediocre ministers are still whispering, making this place a bit noisy. The emperor and the empress dowager are still unconscious and need to rest, but these people don't care about this. What they care about is that if the emperor has to drive, If it collapses, then the prince will ascend the throne immediately?

This is a bunch of ministers and a king. The emperor is not dead yet, but these people have started to have various ideas. This is a bunch of mediocre ministers. The imperial master does not seem to care about this. As long as the prince succeeds to the throne, he will The Imperial Preceptor can continue to be the Imperial Preceptor, and may even have greater power. You must know that the Prince is his grandson, so he will naturally speak to him.

At that time, given the prince's character, major matters in the court would basically be decided by his imperial advisor. This is why he was not in a hurry to inquire about the emperor's condition, but instead was anxious to summon the prince and others into the palace.

The imperial doctor said that there is nothing that can be done for the emperor now, so the imperial master must have felt that there is nothing that can be done. Since the emperor's death is imminent, what is the point of considering other things?

But this matter is somewhat interesting. The Imperial Master did not know that the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were bewitched, and this matter was obviously not planned by him.

It is even more impossible for the prince to plan this matter, so who is the person who planned this matter? I am afraid that only the Empress Dowager knew about this matter, because she was the only one who knew the origin of the sachet. However, the Empress did not think of it at this time, and even subconsciously hid it.

At this time, the princes came one after another, waiting outside to be summoned.

"Let the prince come in."

The imperial master gave an order, and the guards immediately went to summon him.

No one objected when the Imperial Master did this. In fact, the Queen should be the one who made the decision at this moment. The Queen had not decided which prince to let in first, but the Imperial Master actually let the Prince in first.

Soon, the prince came in. He was in a hurry and looked worried. It was obvious that he was concerned about the situation of the emperor and the empress dowager. When he came, he had already heard that the emperor and the empress dowager were. He fell down due to some kind of poison. The situation was extremely critical. Therefore, he rushed over without even having time to tidy up his clothes. He was wearing simple clothes and looked no different from a martial artist.

"Yuanhong, you are here!"

The imperial master was overjoyed when he saw his grandson coming.

"Well, I met the Imperial Master and paid my respects to the Queen!"

The prince came up to give the court a courtesy, and then asked, "Grandpa, how are my father and grandma doing?"

It turns out that the prince's name is Li Yuanhong. He looks very domineering and has an imperial temperament. It is not surprising that so many court ministers support him as the prince. Although this prince is already over forty years old, he can't look past him. He is in his twenties and has a handsome face, and he seems to be calm and confident. He really has a good image.

"Come on, let's talk inside."

The imperial master took the prince's arm and led him and the queen into the inner room. After entering, there was an obvious stench here. The stench of corruption was so pungent that the prince couldn't help but frown.

At this moment, the emperor and the empress dowager were both lying on the couch. Their faces were green and yellow, and they were dying. It seemed that they would die soon.

Seeing this scene, the prince's eyes clearly showed pain, but his expression was still extremely calm. He walked to the emperor and the empress dowager in a few steps, sat down, picked up their wrists and explored them.

After this investigation, his expression suddenly changed drastically, because the pulses of the two people were extremely weak, and they were almost extinguished and dissipated like the wax torch that was about to burn out.

"What did the doctor say?"

At this moment, Li Yuanhong acted like a monarch. When he asked, the palace maid and eunuch immediately felt the monarch's authority. They quickly came out to explain the situation. The imperial master and the queen stood aside without saying a word. Seeing that the prince was so calm, They were naturally very pleased to have such a kingly attitude, and the queen also breathed a sigh of relief, but the Yan Dynasty could be regarded as having a successor.

"Let the doctor come over."

Li Yuanhong said in a deep voice again.

"yes……"

The eunuch hurriedly went to summon him.

Not long after, the imperial doctor came.

"The humble ministers see the Queen, the Crown Prince, the Imperial Master..."

"Okay, come here and talk!"

Prince Li Yuanhong waved his hand impatiently, asking the imperial doctor to come forward and speak with less complicated etiquette.

The imperial doctor walked over tremblingly. He was completely helpless now. This kind of voodoo was not his specialty and he had never heard of it.

"Have you ever summoned Tai Hospital for consultation?"

The prince asked. Obviously, the prince Li Yuanhong was very familiar with the affairs of the court, and he immediately asked the key points.

"The ministers have gathered together. They were just discussing the condition of the Emperor and the Empress Dowager..."

The imperial doctor quickly replied.

"What's the result?"

Prince Li Yuanhong asked coldly.

The imperial doctor was immediately in a dilemma. He was afraid of being asked about this matter because there was no result.

But since it was the prince who asked, he could only answer truthfully.

When the prince heard this, he was not angry. Instead, he waved his hands and said, "Then you go down first. You can discuss it carefully and give me an answer that satisfies me!"

The imperial doctor was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that the prince would let him go so easily, but he was naturally overjoyed, but he didn't dare to show it. You must know that the emperor was critically ill at the moment. If he dared to be overjoyed, he would be courting death.

"Yes, that minister will retire temporarily."

Upon hearing this, the imperial doctor immediately retreated, but he probably won't appear here again.

Whenever the emperor dies, his entire family will be exterminated. No one in the imperial hospital can escape. The euphemistic name is that he will be buried with him. In fact, the royal family takes this opportunity to kill people and silence them, so that these imperial doctors will not be able to escape. The story of how the emperor died was leaked.
