Earth Immortal Righteous Path

Chapter 219 Emperor Collapse
Beijing.

Imperial Palace, Shanglin Palace.

The majestic old man in a brocade robe sat slumped on a mat covered with rushes. There was a silver basin not far from him, and there was a large piece of crushed ice in it, which had melted nearly half.

In summer, the nights are stuffy and hot, the humidity is heavy, and it seems to be raining.

Cattail grass exudes a faint fragrance, driving away mosquitoes.

This is a special product in Yunnan, and it has been a tribute in all dynasties.

The mat looks inconspicuous, but it glows with lavender fluorescence. If you lie on it for a long time, you can concentrate and avoid nightmares.

These two, in terms of cost alone, are worth 600 taels, and there is no market for the price.

All used by the emperor are top grade, although looking at the numbered musical notation, the inside is really luxurious.

The old man leaned on the table and sat on his knees.

He is over ninety years old, and he can no longer work hard. This year, he has left most of the affairs in his hands to his son...

Right now, all he is looking at is the Zhen family.

"The Zhen family has been my loyal ministers for the rest of my life, so let's go with me..."

"I, I will relieve this worry for future generations..."

Both hands slapped heavily on the table, and the candlestick emitting a faint cold light jumped up, making a moderate noise.

"My lord..."

The personal eunuch outside the door called softly.

He has been guarding outside, and when he hears the noise, he always wants to ask a question or two.

After gasping for breath twice, the old emperor sat down on his knees again and turned his head to look outside.

"It's you, I'm fine."

"It's late at night, you should rest too, we are all getting old."

The eunuch hesitated for a while, and wanted to persuade him, but after thinking about it, he still didn't say much.

"No...Saint Boon!"

After a while, the old emperor smiled.

"Xiao Guizi, you're doing the same thing with me."

Xiao Guizi still insisted:

"Saint Boon?"

The old emperor suddenly felt extremely bored, and waved his hands.

"That's all, I bow to you!"

Xiao Guizi stepped back with his head bowed, at this moment, the old emperor spoke again.

"Wait, Xiao Guizi, let's have a good chat, master and servant."

Xiao Guizi raised her head, responded, and came back again.

Patting the position beside his side, the old emperor motioned him to sit down.

Eunuch Gui knelt down, sat upright, straightened his back solemnly.

This is good etiquette created by decades of daily training.

"You have seen Concubine Zhen Gui back then, and Zhen Gui Concubine...you have also seen it."

For some reason, the old emperor suddenly mentioned this.

Eunuch Gui didn't answer, he knew that the Lord didn't like to interrupt at this time.

The old emperor didn't expect him to answer, so he continued talking.

"Thinking back 60 years ago, before I ascended the throne, I was the second prince. At that time, I was admiring the flowers in Shanglin Garden, and I saw her..."

With a bit of vigor on his face, he was recalling the old emperor in the past, his smile was so warm.

"...I fell in love with her right away, among so many court ladies."

"She is wearing a sky-blue umbrella with auspicious clouds, wearing a purple skirt, and a string of agates hanging on her left hand. She stands alone under the shade of a tree, smiling lightly."

"I still remember her that day, that smile somehow got into my heart, and I can never forget her."

"Ha, now I've almost forgotten what she looked like back then, but that smile, I'll never forget it for the rest of my life!"

The old emperor suddenly coughed a few times, and the eunuch Gui beside him hurriedly offered a cup of herbal tea.

After taking two sips from the porcelain cup, feeling bored, he shook his head and pushed away.

Today, he has a feeling that he must find someone to talk to.

These words may have been hidden for too long and too deep, and now, only this servant who has followed him since childhood can hear them.

"You also know what happened later. When I went back, I invited my concubine mother to inquire about her, and Zongzheng of Xunzongren's mansion hired her."

"She could have been a queen. After I ascended the throne... But the Zhen family has too much power. I was terrified. I was terrified, so I found an excuse to demote her..."

"Ha, she was young at the time, and she was too spoiled. She was not convinced, and she didn't give me a good face. I deliberately left her cold for a few months.

Sure enough, she was favored all the time, and she always thought she would be the queen. In the past, she made a lot of enemies. Now seeing her down and out, they all came to make trouble for her.

In order to temper her temperament, I deliberately went out of the palace and went to the south of the Yangtze River for a swim.

Remember, it took several months to come back!
In just half a year, she has lost weight, just like a wilted flower in the garden. "

Sighing, the old emperor stood up, walked to the side of the bookcase, opened an unlocked wooden box, and found a thick and neatly folded silk.

There are some embroidery on these silks, but unfortunately none of them are finished, obviously they are all semi-finished products.

Seeing this, the old emperor sighed again.

"After all this hard work, she learned to behave well later on. She knew that she wanted to please me. In order to flatter me, she went to imitate female reds on purpose. She was so big that she couldn't even embroider an oriole well. She wasted three hours. A hundred sheets of silk."

"It's a pity that later on, she didn't look as good-looking when she smiled as before, and she always felt a little less interesting. I now know that when she smiled in the past, it was the wife who smiled at her husband, and when she smiled later, it was the concubine trying to curry favor with the emperor."

"I've worn out her temper, and also worn out her heart. What is left to me is just an ordinary concubine."

"Later, I abolished the empress three times, but I didn't let her touch the golden seal, and I didn't let her take charge of palace affairs once."

"She has also learned to be smart. She is a completely different person from before. She is extremely cautious everywhere. She is afraid that someone will plot against her... During the six months when I was not in the palace, she must have had a bad life."

Eunuch Gui suddenly said.

"My lord, your empress has suffered a lot of grievances, and when you are not around, no one will protect her.

Although the concubine's surname is also Zhen, it was not easy to help her at that time, and she had to avoid suspicion in many matters. "

The old emperor nodded.

"I didn't expect her to be so stupid...Fortunately, she's not so stupid. After suffering a loss, she looks like a serious concubine."

"A concubine should look like a concubine, not like a concubine, who will stay for a long time."

"Actually, it's not that I don't regret it... I regretted it then!"

"At that time, not long after I ascended the throne, I was still the Marquis, and the Zhen family took the lead. The Black Ice Terrace found out about the Zhen family. This is a big family that has produced immortals, but it has recently fallen into disrepair."

"My mother's concubine's surname is Zhen, and my imperial concubine's surname is also Zhen...Why don't I know the details of the Zhen family? It looks like a businessman, but in fact, the Zhen family is a family of immortals. Longevity, maybe he is still practicing in seclusion there now!"

"I'm afraid! I'm really afraid! What is the Son of Heaven, in front of those immortal families who can easily live for four or five hundred years? So I dare not let the daughter of the Zhen family take the post."

"Sure enough, the Zhen family is a scourge. I didn't expect it to be wrong. It's a big deal for five sons to win the heir apparent!"

"That's why I can't help but give her to die...not a simple death, but leave this embroidery behind."

Rubbing the last pair of bloody silk cloths in his hands, the old emperor seemed to have returned to that night again.

"I asked her to choose the way to die. She would rather be in the rain, or ice water. After being frozen overnight, she would have a high fever when she returned home. As expected, she died. Finally, she embroidered this for me..."

"I'm in my seventies and eighties, who should I embroider for?"

On the silk, it is embroidered that a man and a woman met for the first time in Shanglin Garden outside Jinling City more than sixty years ago...

Unconsciously, tears fell down, and the old emperor's hands trembled.

"Now, she's gone, and I'm coming soon, soon, she's waiting for me below, I know."

"I know……"

Holding the embroidery tightly in his hand, the old emperor came to the window and looked into the distance.

A flash of lightning flashed by, and it began to rain lightly.

The old emperor stared fixedly out of the window, the raindrops hit the window and fell into the house, wetting his clothes.

"My lord, the rain is coming in!"

Eunuch Gui stepped forward to remind him that he knew that the Lord was not in good health and could not be exposed to the rain.

Seemingly not hearing what he was saying, the old emperor muttered to himself in a low voice.

"That night, the freezing rain she drenched was also this cold?"

The wind and rain gradually became stronger, and the raindrops poured into the window, covering the head and face in a burst.

However, the old emperor didn't seem to react, and was still looking there.

Eunuch Gui knew where he was looking, that was where the imperial concubine was standing in front of the lord, drenched in ice water that night.

After an unknown amount of time, the old emperor's head and face were all wet, with rain dripping down, but he remained motionless.

"Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Gui finally realized something was wrong.

Stepping forward and gently pulling, I suddenly felt something was wrong.

He also practiced martial arts for many years.

He snorted again and checked carefully before falling to his knees trembling and crying.

"My lord, you have gone..."

In the distance, the sound of wind, rain, and thunder rang all night.

……

"Three tremors of the emperor's star, the starlight is scattered, and the Lord of Heaven collapses..."

"Today, I have returned to heaven!"

Zhen Qin is carrying a guqin on her back, standing on a high place, looking at the bright starry sky.

This is the peak of Yuqing Mountain. It is cloudless all year round and has a wide field of vision. It is a good place for stargazing.

"This is the empty period of power change. The hidden lines planted by the Zhen family before can be moved!"

Zhen Qin said coldly.

"Yes, my ancestor."

A middle-aged man behind replied respectfully.

"Also, don't call me Patriarch in the future. I look like I'm only 20 years old. You look older than me, so it's not appropriate to call me that."

"Well, you follow them too, call me the lord, it sounds kind..."

Knowing that his ancestors were reminiscing about the days when they were the leader of the Yuqing League, the middle-aged man who was disliked and looked old, reluctantly agreed.

"Yes, Confederate."

"Well, let's go."

Zhen Qin waved in satisfaction, but still didn't look back.

"Is it so easy to take advantage of my Zhen family's cheap?"

"Even if you are the Son of Heaven, you still have to pay something. Spit out everything you eat from me, and return everything you take away from me!"

"You fight the country, but you often need the Zhen family to contribute. When you run out, you want to kill the donkey. It's not that cheap!"

"Originally you still have three months to live, but for the sake of my Zhen family, I ask you to die!"

The young man's face was a little pale, and he covered the back of his left hand, on which there were faint sores with pus.

"What a scourge. Since ancient times, heavenly immortals have not been allowed to enter the world lightly, otherwise there will be a scourge. I don't want to be treated like this now."

Fortunately, human beings have mastered martial arts, are reborn from a drop of blood, are ever-changing, have holes within their holes, and are almost like ancient gods and demons, with an immortal body.

Zhen Qin's own precious light loomed, forcing the sore into her left hand to prevent it from spreading.

To kill the current emperor of the Central Dynasty with a curse, and make him lose three months of life, first of all, he must face a powerful force in the world where the three talents of heaven, earth and man are in harmony.

The caster will definitely suffer from the punishment of God, with malignant sores on his back, exhausted heart and blood, restlessness, confusion, and finally committing all kinds of stupid actions to bring about his own destruction.

However, for Zhen Qin now, this is nothing.

With the recovery ability of his immortal body, he can dissolve the counterforce in less than ten days.

Originally, it was not directly taking human life, but only losing three months of life, so the damage suffered was far lower than imagined.

Even so, Zhen Qin was in pain, feeling anxious, as if her internal organs would be burnt.

This is an illusion, caused by a large number of human thoughts breaking into the immortal body.

"Hey... just left the customs not long ago, and I have to go back again!"

In terms of healing, it is natural that Yuqingdao is better, there is a special cave.

During this period of time, he needs to stay peacefully in the cave, to dissipate the thoughts lingering on the wound, as well as the shadows that loom over from somewhere...

"By the time I leave the customs again, the Zhen family must have been ruled by the river!"

　Although it is a little late, but 3400 words are sent.

　　Did you break your promise?
