The Neon Tower

When the emperor returned to the palace, he went to the other courtyard on a whim, and found that Zhao Tan was not in the room. In a rage, he asked all the court ladies and guards guarding the other courtyard, but no one knew the answer?

"Feng Zheng!" The emperor tilted his head and shouted.

"The servant is here." The old eunuch Feng Zheng bowed down respectfully and replied.

"Immediately send a team of people to search in the palace and make sure to find him."

"Yes."

"Wait..." The emperor hesitated for a while: "Don't say anything, if it reaches the ears of the elders of the clan, Zhao Tan will never regain his freedom..."

"The slave understands."

The emperor sighed, thinking that usually Zhao Tan stayed in only a few places in the palace. . .It shouldn't be hard to find him.Seeing that he was not sleepy yet, he simply went to the queen's place to see Xiao Yuxun.He himself felt that he was strange, and it was not the first time he became a father. When he took the throne, the elders of the clan said that they wanted to spread their branches and spread their leaves to increase the popularity of the royal family. They chose three concubines to enter the palace. So far, there are three princes. The little princess, but he is particularly concerned about the old Wu Yuxun. . .He obviously didn't want the queen to give birth to a prince. . .

When I came to the door of the Queen's bedroom, I saw that the guarding eunuch was about to make an announcement, the emperor made a "shh" gesture to stop him, but seeing him showing an indescribable expression, the emperor frowned slightly, and didn't pay much attention Then stepped into the door.

"You're crazy!" The emperor's extremely familiar voice came from inside the room.

"Why not?" The queen's shrill voice sounded in the room.

The emperor gave a wink from behind, and the accompanying guards immediately led the order to retreat outside the palace door. The emperor was left alone in the empty courtyard, standing still and listening to the conversation in the room.

"How can the son born in this palace bow down to Qi Menglin, that bitch's child."

"But Yuqing is Brother Huang's child, and Yuxun...is my child."

what?

"My child will be the crown prince, no one can stop me!!!"

"The most poisonous woman's heart, you not only want to use me in your feelings, but also want to use our children to climb up step by step."

The door of the room opened with a "snap", and the emperor appeared in front of the two of them, his face completely dark: "You two...you are really sorry for me."

"Your majesty..." The queen was so frightened that her legs gave way and she sat straight on the ground.

"Brother Huang..." Zhao Tan called out softly, thinking to himself: Oh no, the last scene that I don't want to happen is finally coming.

"Do you still recognize me as your imperial brother? You are my twin brother, another me in this world, but you... actually betrayed me by doing such an outrageous thing?"

"Betrayal?" Zhao Tan sneered a few times: "Didn't you also betray me, so you can call yourself Zhen so far? You are so great, don't you think of me, the way you protect me is to push me into The abyss, and you!!!" Zhao Tan pointed at the emperor, gritted his teeth with hatred: "To monopolize all the benefits?"

"I've been working hard to make it up to you."

"Put away your fake mercy! If you still care about brotherhood, you shouldn't sit on the throne, let alone marry Ruoning!!!"

Zhao Tan rushed forward and wrestled with the emperor, both sides refused to give way to each other, and beat each other fiercely.Just as the two were fighting inseparably, a small exquisitely carved wooden box rolled down from the emperor's pocket. Seeing that the emperor was distracted and wanted to pick it up, Zhao Tan snatched it quickly and took a few steps back to break it. Open that little box.

In the box, there was a black pill lying flat and steady, and it was obvious that it was not a good thing.

"What is this?" Zhao Tan held up the box and asked the emperor, "We are brothers, but now, you want to poison me to death?".

The emperor wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve: "So what if I want to poison you to death? Who asked you to join forces with this woman to betray me! It seems that I really treat you so well, so good that you even love me!" Dare to touch a woman? Let alone poison you to death, even if I cut off your head, it's just a matter of moving a finger."

Yeah?A soreness surged in Zhao Tan's heart. In the face of power and authority, twin brothers are just like waste.

Since you are not benevolent first, don't blame me for being immoral.I used to think I knew you best in the world. . .But now you feel very strange.Zhao Sheng, when did you become so unrecognizable?

"Kill him." The queen said breathlessly from the side.

"Shut up, bitch! You must be the one who seduced Zhao Tan."

"It makes sense, since you don't care about brotherhood at all, then your death... is better than my death." Zhao Tan looked at the shiny black pill with distracted eyes.

Seeing that the situation was not right, the emperor wanted to call someone out of his wits, but the queen covered his mouth and nose, and directly pushed his head back to the ground.

"quick!"

The queen's breath and voice swept over Zhao Tan's ears again, telling him rationally that if Zhao Sheng didn't die, he would really have nothing, and he would not be kind to himself, even himself. . .Why bother to be merciful?

Zhao Tan walked over in three steps, grabbed the emperor's neck with his hands, and forced him to swallow the pill.

It wasn't that the pills took effect immediately, but the emperor was unconscious at that time, so Zhao Tan tried to hold the emperor's breath with his fingers until. . .The breath is really getting weaker and weaker, gradually disappearing.

People just leave slowly like this, without any sense of reality.

"Hurry up, change clothes with him." The queen said again.

"He's your husband, aren't you sad at all now that he's dead?"

When he said these words, Zhao Tan already felt that his heart was twisted into a ball, like a cloth towel, dripping with blood, the pain was so painful that he couldn't breathe but he didn't show it on his face.

"Stop talking nonsense!" The queen said in a low voice: "I married your elder brother, do you know how I have lived in the past ten years?"

"My lord." A familiar voice sounded from outside the door, and a figure flashed in from outside.

"Xingzhi?" Zhao Tan asked in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"The minister has been near the prince all the time, but he didn't show up. The people outside the palace have all inhaled the ecstasy, and they will wake up after a stick of incense. The prince quickly changed his clothes, and then, you are the current emperor."

"what?"

"That's right, it's better for you to be emperor than him to be emperor."

"No, this is treason." Zhao Tan walked aside and looked warily at the two who made this suggestion casually.

"No, he is the one who rebelled, not the prince... No, not the emperor."

The people outside really woke up after a stick of incense, and they had no idea that they had been asleep.After hearing a shout, they quickly rushed into the empress's dormitory. At this moment, they saw that the emperor was covering the bleeding wound on his right arm and protecting the empress behind him, while the "King Ming" was already standing upright. Lying on the ground, the leader of the guard came up to test the breath of "King Ming", and reported to the emperor that he was dead.

Xing Zhi cleaned up all the evidence against the master outside, so as to ensure that the master can sit on the throne with peace of mind.

When Concubine Ning got to know the news that King Ming was executed on the spot, it was half a month later when a confidant eunuch next to Eunuch Feng came to report.After listening to what the little eunuch said, Concubine Ning felt that she was about to faint.

"Impossible, how could the emperor execute King Ming?"

Didn't this just say to find a way to help King Ming fulfill his wish and release him from the palace?

When she came back to her senses, Concubine Ning found that her lower body was already wet, and the severe pain in her abdomen made her scream out loud.The Taoist nuns in the Taoist temple had no time to find the stable woman, so they crowded around the bed in a hurry.

"Little eunuch, Your Majesty has fetal gas, and she is about to give birth now, so hurry up and call the imperial doctor who is in charge of taking care of your Majesty, remember, don't say anything."

The "body" of "King Ming" was not broken into thousands of pieces as the edict said, but was placed in a secret room in the imperial study room intact.The first emperor was once addicted to alchemy, and built a cold and dry secret room in the imperial study.At this time, the inner incense burner has been removed, and a gilt crystal coffin and a simple but luxurious altar have been relocated.

The emperor found several books on embalming corpses in the library and studied them for two days and two nights. When he returned to the imperial study, he found a strange thing.

This corpse has been left undisturbed for two days and two nights, but there is not even a single spot on it?The skin on his body is still full of elasticity, his face is only a little pale, and his whole body looks like a scorpion. . .Like just falling asleep.

The emperor recruited Xing Zhi who was hiding on the roof to study Zhao Sheng's body together, and saw that Xing Zhi was wearing a pair of white silk handbags and twisting Zhao Sheng's head from side to side.

"Master, what kind of poison did you give him?"

"The poison he prepared, I just repay him."

"It doesn't look like he was poisoned to death. According to the villain, he was poisoned by a Gu."

"Gu? What Gu?"

"Please look, Your Majesty, the back of his head is here." Xing Zhi pointed at the upper part of the back of Zhao Sheng's neck with his finger: "Here are two scars like tooth holes."

"so..."

"My Majesty, he...may not be dead yet."

Xing Zhi said a word: "This kind of Gu is very likely to have an antidote. If he wakes up, I'm afraid the master will fall into a situation of eternal doom again."

The emperor remembered that when he was traveling in the clouds, he passed a place where the jungle was dense and mysterious.People at the foot of the mountain said that there lived a gang of robbers who could use Gu to harm people.
