Three days have passed.
As soon as the crown prince was established, the old emperor who seemed to be still healthy and strong some time ago immediately returned to the depressed state before Yin Zhaoxian came back, or even worse.
Two years ago, the old emperor was confident that he could live for at least more than ten years, and he was even more confident that he would find an immortal and obtain the elixir of immortality within this time.
The old emperor was also very lucky. When he devoted his energy to seeking immortals, a lot of the information he learned showed some traces of immortals. Although it seemed out of reach, it was enough to confirm the existence of immortals.
This gave the old emperor the idea of immortality and eternal imperial power in the world. The two sons of King Wu and King Jin were indeed not mediocre, but in this case they were both an eyesore.
I just didn’t expect that a land and water ceremony full of opportunities would hit the old emperor so hard that his body collapsed and the path to immortality seemed to be invisible.
Although some of the few Celestial Masters who stayed in Kyoto had some abilities, the old emperor, who had seen the methods of real immortals, could no longer look upon them, and he knew very well that those few people could not refine the elixir of immortality.
What made the old emperor even more desperate was that his physical condition was worse than he imagined. It was fine when Yin Zhaoxian vigorously rectified Wanzhou, but it went from bad to worse after that.
At this moment, in the imperial palace of Gyeonggi Prefecture, in the emperor’s bedroom, Emperor Yuan De was lying on the bed and resting with his eyes closed.
Although the weather is not too cold, Emperor Yuande is very afraid of the cold now, and the entire palace is warmed by the charcoal stove.
Although Emperor Yuande had just finished drinking the medicine, he was very tired, but due to neurasthenia, he could not sleep with his eyes closed.
Ji Yuan was in the palace at the moment, standing next to the old emperor’s bed and watching him.
The various guards in the palace are naturally of little use to people like Ji Yuan, but the emperor who occupies the throne is actually related to the destiny of humanity and the country, and he is surrounded by the aura of crape myrtle, which can ward off evil spirits to a certain extent. Avoid evil spirits, but now the aura is much weaker.
“Hoo…ho…ho…”
The old emperor couldn’t sleep after all. He opened his eyes again and looked at the top of the bed, panting and dazed.
Ji Yuan will be very curious about what he is thinking.
In his previous life, he probably didn’t come into contact with many people in this position. However, looking at him now, he found that whether he was a farmer who worked hard all his life or an emperor who was involved in the fate of the country, he was always a person before his death. Looks like, maybe the latter is even more in decline.
“Hey…is anyone…here?”
The old emperor suddenly asked hoarsely.
The old **** who was a little sleepy immediately woke up and walked to the bed with small steps to respond in a low voice.
“Your Majesty, the old slave is here!”
The emperor looked at him and shook his head, with a desolate look in his eyes. In fact, Ji Yuan was standing next to the old eunuch, but the old **** was leaning closer to the emperor, while Ji Yuan stood with his hands behind his back. of.
“Your Majesty, what do you need?”
The old **** asked again cautiously. The tiger’s death will still have its power, not to mention that the emperor is not dead yet.
But the old emperor did not look at the old eunuch. Instead, he opened his eyes slightly, looked next to the old eunuch, and stretched out a trembling hand, trying to grab something.
The **** Li Sizhe looked to the side and then scanned the surroundings. There was no one else except himself.
“Your Majesty, may I ask you a question?”
Ji Yuan’s plain and gentle voice suddenly reached Emperor Yuan De’s ears, causing the latter’s eyes to widen and his breathing to quicken a little.
“Hoo…ho…ho…please, please!”
Ji Yuan smiled.
“Mr. Lu should have asked you a question in front of the palace, but in the end you were destined to be different. I can bring him here again. Do you want to meet him?”
“Ho, **** ho…can, can you bring me back to life?”
Hearing the old emperor’s question, Ji Yuan also shook his head.
“Life and death are the cycles of heaven. Your Majesty has now run out of fuel and energy. You can survive for a while, but it is too late to regain your vitality.”
“Then…then why…”
Ji Yuan knew what the old emperor wanted to ask, so he smiled again and answered.
“It’s okay to bring him here and let you scold him a few words. It will help to relieve some of the knot in your heart. In your current state, he should still be willing to see you.”
While the old emperor was talking to Ji Yuan in a trance, the **** Li Sizhe next to him looked at the emperor and then at the empty surroundings, with a hint of panic rising in his heart.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what’s wrong with you? Your Majesty?”
The old **** waved his hand in front of the old emperor’s eyes, but the old emperor’s eyes were not focused on him at all, as if he was ignoring him.
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, who are you talking to? Your Majesty…”
The old eunuch’s voice could not help but become louder, alerting the palace maids and eunuchs waiting outside. Two palace maids and two eunuchs hurriedly trotted in.
“Eunuch Li, what happened?”
Li Sizhe looked at the emperor’s bed and said to several people with an extremely ugly face.
“Prepare the king ginseng soup. Your Majesty may be in trouble. Hurry up and call all the princes, adults, and ladies in the harem! Hurry!”
“Yes! Yes!”
Several eunuchs and maids looked shocked and ran out in a hurry. After receiving the news, the palace guards and guards outside also hurriedly dispersed to pass the news.
Ji Yuan looked at the direction in which the **** and the maid were leaving, and then at the concerned **** Li Sizhe beside him.
“Your Majesty, do you need me to find him?”
The old emperor looked at Ji Yuan in a daze, took a few breaths and asked.
“You, who are you?”
Old **** Li Sizhe hurriedly walked to the front of the old emperor’s line of sight and responded in an aggravated voice.
“Your Majesty, this is an old slave. This old slave is Li Sizhe! Your Majesty, you don’t recognize me? I am an old slave…”
The old emperor was furious, and in excitement he reached out his hand and swept it to Li Sizhe’s side.
“You…go away…”
The old **** was so frightened by the old emperor’s glare that his heart trembled, and he shrank and hid to the side.
Ji Yuan looks at this old eunuch.
“Your Majesty, please don’t be angry about your current situation. Eunuch Li is also concerned and will be confused. He can’t see me. As for who I am? Haha…”
Ji Yuan couldn’t help but smile again.
“Your Majesty, do you still remember the moon cake that was not caught in the court?”
Ji Yuan originally wanted to joke, “Did your Majesty drink that mooncake soup?”, but after thinking about it, he decided not to irritate the old emperor.
“Oh…that’s it…immortal master, you…”
“Since I have shown up to see Your Majesty, I naturally have some affinity with Your Majesty, but it is not what Your Majesty thought.”
At this stage, Emperor Yuande also understood, and raised his hand tremblingly in salute.
“Excuse me, Immortal Master, please go and invite Immortal Master Nalu…”
Ji Yuan also responded with a salute.
“Your Majesty, please hold on. Mr. Lu is a master of immortality in the world. It may not be easy to find him, so Ji will go.”
After saying this, Ji Yuan walked out. In the eyes of the old emperor, Ji Yuan’s figure faded in a few steps and disappeared quickly.
“Hoo…ho…hoho…”
The old emperor lay back on the bed again, looking out of breath due to the physical exertion caused by the excessive excitement just now.
……
As time passed slowly, people inside and outside the palace also received the news and rushed over.
“Father! Your Majesty”
“Your Majesty”
……
As voices of genuine and false concern came, many relatives and ministers of the emperor rushed over.
Before, Emperor Yuande was too annoyed and refused to let anyone accompany him. Even Concubine Ren only came to see him in the morning and evening. But now he suddenly heard a summons from the palace, and everyone hurried over.
These are just the ones that came quickly, there are more people on the way.
After the old emperor looked at all the people coming, he closed his eyes again to rest and said nothing more.
A **** carefully brought a century-old king ginseng soup over. Concubine Ren took the initiative to pick up the spoon and prepared to feed the emperor the ginseng soup. However, she saw the old emperor waving his hand, indicating that it was not needed yet.
Outside the palace, Ji Yuan walked towards the Earth Temple with great purpose. Although he told the old emperor that it was difficult to find the old beggar, Ji Yuan had already expected the whereabouts of the old beggar.
It’s hard to say if the other party has left Dazhen, but since he knows that they must be in Dazhen, Ji Yuan predicts that Lu Niansheng must be in Gyeonggi Mansion when Emperor Yuande is about to die.
Maybe after visiting Ju’an Pavilion in Jizhou, the two beggars rushed to the capital.
In this Gyeonggi Prefecture, the one who has the best relationship with Ji Yuan is the burly Land God of Gyeonggi Prefecture. This Land is considered to be the strongest among the land gods Ji Yuan has seen in these years.
When I arrived at the temple, I didn’t even walk into the temple hall. I just sent the message into the temple. After a while, the earth **** showed up to meet Ji Yuan.
It’s still that tall and sturdy figure, it’s still the same beard with green eyes, it’s still the same cane that looks like it can be used as a heavy weapon, as soon as the earth **** appears, he smiles and holds his hand towards Ji Yuan .
“Mr. Ji, what do you want from me?”
Ji Yuan quickly returned the gift.
“I’d like to trouble the landlord to help Ji find someone, that old beggar, who should be in Gyeonggi Prefecture.”
“Oh, how difficult is this!”
When Digong’s cane hit the ground, a circle of ripples immediately rippled out. It was a bit like the change when Ji Yuan used Jingshen, but it was different.
“Found him, he has not disappeared, Mr. Ji, come with me!”
Tu Di Gong put his arm on Ji Yuan’s shoulders, and the two of them fell into a trance and escaped to the ground. After a while, they escaped by a bridge in the west of the city. They happened to see two beggars, old and young, taking a nap under the bridge.
“Uh, Mr. Ji is also in Kyoto?”
The old beggar rubbed his eyes and asked in surprise.
“Hey, Mr. Lu, come with me.”
“Where to go?”
Ji Yuan looked at the little beggar and then at the old beggar, and asked a serious question in his heart with a smile on his face.
“It’s the palace, I’m here to invite you, will you give me face?”
“Mr. Ji’s face…of course I have to give it to you!”
The old beggar hesitated and took possession.
In the palace half an hour later, several princes and concubines were already in the palace, looking for Shuyuan www.zhaoshuyuan. com and some important ministers including Yin Zhaoxian, and many ministers and relatives of the emperor were standing outside.
Ji Yuan led the old beggar into the palace, while the young beggar stayed in the Tutu Temple.
When the two of them walked to the palace area, they saw the underworld servants waiting outside. It seemed that the end of the old emperor was really approaching.
However, the old emperor will not enter the underworld after death. Due to the influence of the Zuo Qi of the Dazhen Kingdom, he will first enter the Ancestral Temple and then the imperial mausoleum.
But this means that the underworld house is more spacious, and there will still be accountability for the things that happened during the lifetime. It is just because the spiritual place is protected by the Da Zhen Kingdom Zuo Qi when it is placed in the Ancestral Temple. It will not be directly destroyed by the underworld punishment, but it can ensure that Get through this.
Compared with ordinary people, of course there are advantages. As long as the great chastity is immortal, the royal family will definitely not be short of paper money, tribute and other things in the underworld. But when the life of the underworld is over, the soul of the earth will still be transformed into the earth and the soul of the sky will return. God, the so-called eternal enjoyment of the Ancestral Temple is just a fantasy of the royal family in the underworld.
Ji Yuan and the old beggar came in. No one else could see them, but the old emperor could see the two of them slowly walking to the bedside from blur to clarity.
It’s just that the old emperor’s condition is worse than before, and he can’t muster the energy to speak much.
“Ginseng, ginseng soup!”
The old emperor finally spoke, and the ginseng soup that was always warm was carefully fed into the old emperor’s mouth by Concubine Ren.
The hundred-year-old ginseng soup was taken up in one breath, and the old emperor’s face suddenly turned rosy.
