end of days

Turning around to look, it was Ling Luo who was at a loss.

"Uh... Excuse me, you continue...continue..." He raised his legs and wanted to leave, but suddenly turned back as if thinking of something, "That... Your Majesty, he can't stand you now... that...you know Come on, I'm leaving."

-------------------------------------------------

After being disturbed by Ling Luo, Xuanyuanhen lost interest and could only let Zhuo Ran go with a dark face and a cold snort.

Zhuo Ran was still panting, staring at Xuanyuanhen with a pair of phoenix eyes.

The hall was silent for a while.

"That... Concubine De has been here?" Unable to bear the weirdness of the atmosphere, Xuanyuanhen finally opened his mouth to break the embarrassing silence.

"Yeah." After straightening out the messy clothes, Zhuo Ran leaned on the bed weakly, but in his heart he cursed the "lunatic" beside him angrily.

"Didn't do anything to you?"

This time Zhuo Ran didn't pay attention to him anymore, Xuanyuan Hen was making fun of himself, seeing that Zhuo Ran was really fine, he tossed his sleeves and left bitterly.

"Zhen will come again." Before leaving the door, Xuanyuanhen finally dropped four words, but Zhuo Ran held his breath reflexively, as if being restrained, he couldn't breathe.

As soon as he went out, Xuanyuanhen saw De Yu waiting at the door with a serious expression, as if something had happened.

"Master, someone is checking on the hidden guard."

A few words, but Xuanyuanhen's face changed drastically.

"Let's go back first."

The existence of the dark guard is a taboo, and someone investigating the matter of the dark guard undoubtedly touched the foundation of the Xuanyuan Dynasty, so Xuanyuanhen would never ignore this matter lightly.

"Prepare some daily necessities and send them to Quehua Hall. It's too deserted, and it really doesn't feel like a place to live."

As they walked, Xuanyuanhen suddenly said these words, which surprised De Yu. I don't know if the master has noticed his unusual care and concern for Zhuo Ran.

"Call a few more maids to go there, Ziyin alone must be very difficult, and I'm afraid she won't stay for long, pick the better ones, you should understand what I mean."

"I understand." Shaking his head, De Yu still firmly remembered Xuanyuanhen's instructions.

Back in the Imperial Study Room, De Yu hurriedly submitted the secret report from the Ministry of Chen to Xuanyuanhen.

"Tianji Building?" Xuanyuanhen stroked his forehead, it seems that things are really not easy to handle...

"I didn't expect the forces of the rivers and lakes to get involved."

Who doesn't know the status of Tianjilou in the Jianghu! !Although Tianji Building only buys and sells information, its pervasive ability is enough to calm everyone down.

Xuanyuanhen knew in his heart that if Tianjilou had no intention of controlling the martial arts, the current martial arts would be in a different world.

But why, such an undisputed sect, became interested in the hidden guards. If it was a business, it would not be justifiable, because it seemed that Xuanwu had not found the client.

"Master, from the perspective of a slave, at this time, I'm afraid it's still related to Mr. Zhuo." De Yu thought for a while, and finally said his guess.

"Oh? How can you see it?"

"Because the first movement of Tianji Building was the dark alleys near Cheng's rice shop," De Yu paused, and continued, "And, their actions started from the day Mr. Zhuo entered the palace."

"Hmm... makes sense." Xuanyuanhen pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

"As you said, since there is no entrustment, then it is Yang Yifeng's own idea? What is the relationship between Yang Yifeng and Zhuoran?"

Zhuo Ran's life experience seems to be more and more elusive. At first, he was just a martial arts fighter, but the more you study, the thicker the fog around him becomes.

"Perhaps...it's not what the landlord himself meant." De Yu has always believed in a principle, if there is really no connection between the two, then it means that he must change his mind.

"That is to say, there is another person between them..."

Xuanyuanhen understood De Yu's meaning, it seemed that there was a little light shining in the mist, and what they had to do was to grab the thread, Xuanyuanhen suddenly felt a flash of light.

"Then... this person is likely to be the real owner of the Tianji Building!"

As soon as the words came out, Xuanyuanhen suddenly felt enlightened.

De Yu also suddenly realized, and said: "The servant will ask Xuan Wu to check Yang Yifeng's recent whereabouts."

Just as he was about to lift his foot, he heard Xuanyuanhen say in a deep voice, "Don't be careless, this is just a possibility. If it wasn't for this reason, then what we have to face is a much more serious test!"

That's right, if it wasn't for Zhuoran, then it must be for the purpose of seizing the foundation of the Xuanyuan Dynasty. This possibility obviously makes people more nervous.

"Keep an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion. There are still the remnants of the past. If the Tianji Building is only for Zhuo Ran, it's okay, otherwise, I'm afraid there will be another bloody storm!"

Xuanyuanhen's mood became irritable for no reason, and his tone gradually became a little impatient.

"I—I don't want to use an iron fist in exchange for submission!!!"

Xuanyuanhen was tired, in fact, as long as the world was peaceful, he would be more happy to be a kind emperor, even though he couldn't go back a long time ago.

Seeing the deep annoyance in Xuanyuanhen's eyes, De Yu couldn't help being moved, this throne is really difficult to sit on!

"Actually, in my opinion, those people are not so smart that I can't even notice them. The biggest possibility is that they are here for Zhuo Ran..."

Xuanyuanhen waved his hand and signaled De Yu to step back first. His mind seemed to be entangled by something—it was so messy, it seemed that he should really think about it.

De Yu walked to the door quietly, but suddenly thought of something, even though he knew that Xuanyuanhen needed to be quiet at this moment, he still couldn't help asking.

"Master, it's almost fifteen again, Ziquan Palace..."

"...Hurry up and get someone to clean it up, and then seal the Ziquan Palace and don't let anyone get close."

"Yes!" The rules are still the same, but I don't know who will live in Ziquan Palace.

This has been a practice since Xuanyuanhen ascended the throne. In the past two years, he just let himself clean it up quietly. Until last year when he cut off all the influence of Empress Dowager Liu, Xuanyuanhen even ordered people to seal Ziquan Palace directly in mid-March. .

It seems that he is welcoming some distinguished guest.

Even De Yu himself had never seen any guest from Ziquan Palace.

However, even if he was puzzled, De Yu knew that the things he shouldn't ask were absolutely taboo, so he just closed the palace door quietly as usual, and then arranged the things that Xuanyuanhen asked one by one .

Xuanyuanhen sat alone in the imperial study room, he didn't review the memorials as usual, he just sat quietly, as if he was thinking about something, but when he looked closely, he found that his eyes were blank.

The emperor in charge of the world was just in a daze. His pupils without focus made the emperor seem confused, like a lost child.

For a long time, only a sigh was heard.

---------------------------------------------------------

Zhuo Ran leaned on the soft bed, trying hard to gather a trace of true energy, he knew the innate temperament of true energy in his body.

Innate zhenqi is the treasure that everyone desires in the martial arts world. It is taken from the heaven and the earth when it is the most yang and the most prosperous.

Ordinary people's inner breath is generally obtained through acquired practice, and it is powerful but mixed with many other things, so it is not pure enough.

It is also because of a coincidence that Zhuo Ran got this aura that is easy for ordinary people, but it is difficult to control.

Xiantian zhenqi is more like spiritual breath than real qi. In layman's terms, it has something similar to consciousness. Unless the master can fully coordinate with it, it is impossible to use it at all.

Therefore, the counterattack force of innate zhenqi is particularly strong. When the practitioner's physical condition drops to the limit, it is completely unable to restrain the movement of innate zhenqi.

This is also the reason why Zhuo Ran is so easily obsessed.

After a long time, Zhuo Ran just gave up his efforts, and there was no response, but its existence could be felt everywhere, like a dormant winter insect.

Zhuo Ran clenched his fists, is there really nothing he can do...

The brazier in front of him suddenly made a "beep" sound, interrupting Zhuo Ran's thinking.

Recently, it seems to be getting more and more afraid of the cold.

Thinking of this, Zhuo Ran unconsciously wrapped his arms around his shoulders. In March, it is natural to be a little cold, but there is still a brazier in this room, and he is also surrounded by a thick fox fur.

However, the coldness lingered like maggots attached to the bones, rather like the cold coming from the bones.

"What's the matter, do you still feel cold?"

As soon as Ling Luo entered the door from the outside, he saw Zhuo Ran trembling tightly clutching the corner of the fox fur, frowned, walked over and took Zhuo Ran's hand.

It was so abnormal, when I went into the room, I took off my coat and still felt a little hot, but Zhuo Ran was so cold.

After feeling the pulse, it seems that there is nothing serious, but Zhuo Ran's hard life for many years has consumed too much mental energy. He was supported by internal energy before, but he has not shown much, but now he is getting weaker and afraid of the cold.

If this continues, I'm afraid...

"What's wrong? But it's not good?" Looking at Ling Luo's tangled eyebrows, Zhuo Ran felt a little uneasy.

"Ah, it's okay, the foundation is too thin, I'll give you a prescription to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the talents, and you can look at it in a few days."

Seeing the obvious boredom on Zhuoran's face, Ling Luo was a little amused. When she fell asleep, she didn't know that Zhuoran was such a person who was afraid of taking medicine. Every time she saw the black medicine juice, her face turned black. Hurry up. The soup in front of the above is gone.

Ling Luo was sure that if Ziyin hadn't been watching closely every time, she wouldn't have been able to get into Zhuoran's mouth, I'm afraid, it would be a pain for the flowers and plants in Quehua Palace.

Seeing Ling Luo laughing more and more happily, Zhuo Ran felt annoyed for no reason.

Since the first time he tried to secretly pour half a bowl of medicine that he couldn't drink into the flower pot and he found out, every time he took the medicine, he would see Ziyin staring at him like a thief.

It wasn't until he saw his hair stand on end, and helplessly picked up the medicine bowl and drank Ziyin in one gulp, that he put away his eyes that were more white than black.

"Hahahaha——" Ling Luo gradually laughed out loud, this Zhuoran was really "impressive" more and more.

And Ling Luo's laughter stopped abruptly until Zhuo Ran couldn't bear it anymore and pressed the hot tea bowl on his head, and then replaced it with screams.

Even Ziyin outside the door could hear clearly, and then showed a clear smile.
