back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 556

Lu Chengqi's madness was subsiding, he didn't expect Wang Ting's vitality to be so strong.He should have been shot more than a dozen times just now, and there are estimated to be no less than ten fatal injuries, but he is not dead yet!
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...Qin Yikang's family...is...innocent...you don't want to..."

Wang Ting seemed to have aged dozens of years all of a sudden, and his whole body was emptied, like a deflated balloon.Strangely, none of his wounds bled, which is a miracle.It's a pity that miracles can't save him, Wang Ting died before he finished speaking.Maybe it was a person who was about to die, but his words were kind. Wang Ting had occupied his wife and children for 30 years. Before he died, his conscience realized that he had held on for so long in order to ask for Lu Chengqi's pardon.

Lu Chengqi didn't have the panic after killing, nor the pleasure after killing, only endless sorrow.If I knew this earlier, why bother?But in this way, the Skynet will be restored, and it will be sparse but not leaked;Wang Ting killed the court official and pretended to be him to enjoy wealth for more than [-] years. In the end, he died because of his evil deeds.The causal cycle is not cool at all!
Lu Chengqi said lightly: "I won't embarrass innocent people, you can go at ease..." After finishing speaking, Lu Chengqi wiped his eyes to prevent him from dying in peace.

Maybe it was because he had been in one pose for too long, or maybe he had experienced life and death again in just half an hour. Lu Chengqi was extremely tired both physically and mentally. After standing up, he felt a little dizzy.Trembling, actually a little unsteady.

And his personal eunuch Gao Hao only had the strength to get up from the ground at this moment. Seeing Lu Chengqi's appearance, he shouted loudly: "What are you still doing in a daze, quickly help Your Majesty..."

The servants and maids with trembling legs only realized it at this moment, and they swarmed forward, trying to help Lu Chengqi.Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "Go...to the Imperial Medical Academy and call the imperial doctor over!"

Gao Hao immediately said to a servant next to him, "Hurry up and call the imperial doctor!"

Lu Chengqi shook off the servants and didn't want them to support him. He walked to Han Feng'er, looked at Han Feng'er who had passed out, and felt guilty in his heart, and said, "I don't care, I must save her! Without her, I'm afraid I have already become a prisoner..."

Xu Chongguang was used to seeing big scenes, so he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, and Director Xu..."

Lu Chengqi scanned the surroundings, only to find that Xu Jingchun was also passed out in the Daqing Palace. "Today's injured soldiers will be healed by the imperial doctor. All rescued soldiers will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver!"

500 taels is enough for a family of three to spend five years.Lu Chengqi knew that if he wanted to buy people's hearts at this moment, the only way was to reward him heavily.No, as soon as Jinkou opened, the imperial guards and imperial guards all cheered and jumped. "Pass down the decree and order the Supervision Department to arrest the people in the palace of Taipingfang, and not one person will be leaked! After the review, they will be punished with crimes. Innocent servants, don't embarrass them!"

After Lu Chengqi finished giving orders, he whispered to Gao Hao: "Help me out of here..."

Gao Hao felt sorry for Lu Chengqi, quickly supported him, and slowly left the Daqing Hall.

"The emperor drives!"

"Congratulations to the emperor! Long live my emperor!"

After half an hour of suffering, the civil and military officials who escaped outside the palace breathed a sigh of relief.If the little emperor dies, the world of Dashun will change.Fortunately, with the protection of the ancestors of the Lu family, Lu Chengqi was fine.

"Looks like it's time to have a son..."

Lu Chengqi's injury was caused by "playing handsome" when picking up the gun.I didn't feel it before, but after relaxing now, I felt numbness and swelling in my ankle.

In the Daqing Palace, the imperial guards began to clean up the items after the war.When they pulled out the Hongxiang-style rifle stuck in Wang Ting's body, a huge amount of blood suddenly spewed out from Wang Ting's body, spilling it all over the ground.If Han Feng'er is still awake, she will definitely explain: this is the result of retrograde qi and blood, there is no blood in the internal organs of the torso, and it is all forced into the limbs and skin.And without the internal factors, the blood flow back, naturally like a volcano, bleeding out.This kind of martial arts is actually exchanging one's own lifespan for skill.Retrograde once, life reduction is certain.No wonder Wang Ting's body, which looked like a young man's, shriveled up like that.

After Lu Chengqi returned to the Hall of Renming, Zhou Zhiruo was startled when she saw Lu Chengqi's pale face: "Your Majesty is sick?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of War rebelled, and I almost died in the Daqing Palace..." Lu Chengqi pretended to be relaxed, "It's just a sprained foot, it's okay!"

Zhou Zhiruo was terrified: "How is the Daqing Palace now?"

"Qin Yikang has given the leadership, and the chaos has stopped." Lu Chengqi sighed, "Oh, Zitong, you don't know that Qin Yikang is the mastermind of kidnapping and trafficking children. What's even more amazing is that this person was originally a robber in the forest. In place of him, today he is actually an official to the Minister of the Ministry of War..."

Zhou Zhiruo helped Lu Chengqi to sit down distressedly, and then said to Gao Gao: "What are you doing in a daze, go ask the imperial doctor!"

Gao Hao said: "I have already invited..."

Zhou Zhiruo said angrily, "Then why don't you fetch a basin of water?"

Lu Chengqi was afraid that Gao Gao was inexperienced, so he ordered: "Go get a basin of cold water."

"Your Majesty, you are sprained, how can you use cold water?" Zhou Zhiruo said anxiously, "Get a basin of hot water!"

Lu Chengqi smiled wryly and said, "Zitong, you don't know about this. If you apply hot compresses, your feet will swell. Putting cold water on your feet will stop the internal bleeding and inhibit the swelling."

After hearing this, Zhou Zhiruo said in doubt, "Really?"

"Why would I make fun of myself?" Lu Chengqi said seriously.

"What about ice cubes?" Zhou Zhiruo asked.

Lu Chengqi was a little surprised: "It's better to apply ice, but there are still ice cubes in the palace?"

Zhou Zhiruo hurriedly said, "Go to the snow pond and get some ice!"

It turns out that there are ice cellars in Dashun Palace.Cross the stone bridge in front of the imperial dining room and enter the snow pond.During this period, thick doors lined the road, hundreds of light corridors, and one drum pavilion on the left and right of the halfway.This ice cellar was originally a cellar used by the former royal family to store ice for summer. It is buried deep underground and is cold all year round.In midsummer, the former emperor would take ice and put it in the hall to cool down.It's just that in Dashun, few emperors did this.At most, it is just digging ice to make dishes, so this snow pond does not have as many ice storages as before.

Xuechi, which is derived from "Snow Cellar and Ice Sky", is an elegant name for ice cellar.Inside the cellar, only four walls about three feet high are exposed on the ground, without windows. The arch coupons are all made of bricks, and they are jointed with white lime, which is very strong.The cellar door is more than three feet thick, and its sealing and heat insulation performance is very good.Even in midsummer, the ice cubes don't melt.

In addition, the ancients also used nitrate to make ice. As early as the previous dynasty, someone discovered the method of using nitrate to make ice.Up to now, merchants and hawkers use nitrate to make ice and add fruit or juice, which is very similar to the cold drinks of later generations.Of course, the price is not cheap.Lu Chengqi also ate a few times in the palace.It's just that he didn't know that the ice came from the ice cellar.
