Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 971 Where is Zhizhi?
Lu Xi stretched out his hand to check Emperor Yuan Wu's pulse, but was knocked backwards by an internal force, hitting the bed with a sound.

There were all Eunuch Lu's people outside, and no one had any reaction to the sound.

"This movement is too big. Our family has to go and guard it in case something happens to His Majesty. Please be alert and don't let people come in casually." Eunuch Lu glanced around, gave a few instructions, and gently Open the door and walk in.

Ling and Lu Xi wanted to hide, but Eunuch Lu knelt on the ground, changed from his previous behavior, and said anxiously: "You two, are you the people sent by His Highness King Qi?"

Ling, who was ready to go, looked at Lu Xi, who was almost knocked out of breath, and looked at Eunuch Lu in unison, with inquiry in his eyes.

Eunuch Lu hurriedly explained: "Zhan Lujian, Your Majesty asked the commander to take Zhan Lujian to Prince Qi's Mansion just to report the news. You should be King Qi's people, right? How is he doing, Your Majesty?"

Ling didn't say anything, and Lu Xi spoke: "Who are you?"

Eunuch Lu hurriedly said: "Our family is Lu Xing who is served by His Majesty."

Lu Xi said with some suspicion: "How many times did the late Emperor want to kill His Majesty with the Zhanlu Sword?"

Eunuch Lu wiped his forehead: "Five... times."

Lu Xizai looked at Eunuch Lu carefully and seemed to be confirming Eunuch Lu's identity.

Ling said: "He is the real Lu Xing."

Lu Xi finally dispelled his doubts and said: "After the Duke of Yue saw the Zhanlu in the hands of the Jinwu Guard Commander, he knew that His Majesty might be in danger, so he sent me and I to confirm that we are the secret guards of Prince Qi's Palace."

After a pause, Lu Xi continued: "Your Majesty, he was poisoned, but when I was trying to detoxify him, there was a strange inner force in his body that rejected me. What did he drink, Your Majesty?"

Eunuch Lu didn't have time to say more. He took out a handkerchief and handed it to Lu Xi tremblingly, saying: "In order for your majesty to visit the imperial concubine, the queen mother used Lingling girl to blackmail your majesty into drinking a bowl of fun medicine. Your majesty felt that things were not right. It's not easy, so while I was wiping my mouth, I spat a little of the medicine onto the handkerchief, please take a look."

Lu Xi took the veil and while inspecting the contents on it, asked, "Where did you go just now? Why weren't you with His Majesty?"

Eunuch Lu said: "In addition to forcing your majesty to consummate the marriage with the imperial concubine, the queen mother also threatened your majesty to release Princess Yuzhen and Duke Qi. Just now our family arranged for people to handle these two things."

"Your Majesty suspected that someone was using the Yu family to plot against the Queen Mother, and tried to persuade the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother did not listen at all. Later, Your Majesty also found out from the Queen Mother's mouth that someone was giving advice to the Queen Mother behind her back."

"That man not only tricked the Queen Mother into agreeing to the Yu family's conditions, but he even guessed the tactics His Majesty might use to resist."

"In order to save Miss Lingling, His Majesty had to be threatened by the Queen Mother. The only thing he could do at that time was to use the Zhanlu Sword to warn. Fortunately, the Duke of Yue understood it, otherwise..."

The more Eunuch Lu spoke, the more frightened he became, even a little incoherent. He stared closely at Emperor Yuanwu, who was being supported by Ling, for fear that some immeasurable accident would happen to His Majesty whom he had served his entire life.

Lu Xi examined the medicine stains on the handkerchief for a long time and said in horror: "This is not a fun drug at all, this is a poison I have never seen before!"

Eunuch Lu fell to the ground and said sadly: "The Queen Mother...how could he use poison on his own son?"

Lu Xi said: "From what you just described, the Queen Mother must have been taken advantage of. Her Majesty must be detoxified as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous."

Eunuch Lu panicked and said: "Our family will go to the imperial doctor right now."

Lu Xi said: "Wait a minute, your majesty's poisoning must not be leaked. As long as your majesty does not wake up, the assassination of the Qingning Palace and the poisoning of your majesty will most likely be exploited by someone with ulterior motives. No matter who is blamed for this crime, everyone will suffer." Can’t live.”

Ling continued: "The Duke of Yue has led the Qilin Guards to wait outside the palace to ensure that no one fishes in troubled waters and takes the opportunity to initiate a palace coup. However, he cannot come in easily, otherwise he may be charged with treason."

Eunuch Lu said in a panic: "What should we do? Your Majesty's dragon body is very important. People outside can't come in easily, and people inside can't get out easily. This... what should your Majesty do?"

Before Lu Xi entered the palace, Feng Xiang and others informed her of possible situations and solutions.

So she quickly reviewed the current situation and her expectations, and finally came up with a solution.

"The movement in Qingning Palace was caused by us. The purpose is to increase the alert in the palace to prevent anyone from fishing in troubled waters. It can also play a role in external communication."

"There is a fire in the palace. Although foreign ministers cannot enter, people from the clan can visit the palace without guards. The eldest princess will definitely enter the palace."

"The first thing you have to do is to find a way to inform the eldest princess and ask her to stabilize the queen mother. At this time, the queen mother must not make any mistakes, so as not to affect the treatment of your majesty."

"Secondly, the Great Qin Heavenly Prison is located in this heavily guarded imperial city, and King Qi and King Xingyang have sneaked into the Heavenly Prison through Miss Xiao Qian. You should quickly find a way to tell me what you just told me. Let King Qi and King Xingyang know."

"Finally, the security in the palace is very tight right now. If someone is hiding in the palace, he will not dare to act rashly."

"We must take advantage of this opportunity to find Miss Lingling, lest the criminals seize the opportunity and move Miss Lingling to a more hidden place, giving him a second chance to threaten His Majesty."

Eunuch Lu asked: "How did you know that Miss Lingling is still in the palace?"

Lu Xi said: "Can a living person be taken out of the palace so easily? If you keep arguing with me, she may not be in the palace soon. Go and do these things quickly, do them quietly, don't call anyone Got it."

Eunuch Lu hurriedly went to do it, and Lu Xi concentrated on detoxifying Emperor Yuanwu, but when she asked for his pulse again, she was bounced away by a strange force.

Lu Xi clicked his tongue and marveled: "Logically speaking, if His Majesty was infected by this strange poison that he has never heard of or seen before, he should have already... But why does this strange phenomenon happen?"

Because he couldn't ask Emperor Yuanwu's pulse, Lu Xi didn't dare to feed him the antidote rashly. He was about to give him an injection to seal his meridians and slow down the flow of poison.

However, before the needle penetrated Emperor Yuanwu's acupuncture point, a strong force suddenly burst out from Emperor Yuanwu's body, and Lu Xi and Ling were directly bounced away.

Immediately afterwards, Emperor Yuanwu suddenly covered his chest/mouth and spit out a large mouthful of black blood.

A closer look revealed that there was a dark insect in the black blood. It squirmed twice and then stopped moving.

Lu Xi was stunned: "Wake up... wake up?"

Emperor Yuanwu's sinister gaze immediately swept across the two of them like a knife.

Lu Xi knelt down and explained: "We are from Prince Qi's Palace and the Duke of Yue. The Duke of Yue sent us to confirm His Majesty's safety."

Emperor Yuanwu was about to say something when another mouthful of blood spurted out. He covered his chest/mouth and could not recover for a long time.Lu Xi said cautiously: "Your Majesty, you are clearly poisoned by a strange poison. How come...you are cured by yourself?"

After asking this question, Lu Xi felt that he was even more stupid and stunned than Ling beside him.

But she really couldn't suppress the shock in her heart - that poison, she only touched a little water/stain on the handkerchief, and she knew it was a tricky and domineering poison.

Logically speaking, if she hadn't seen a ghost, Emperor Yuanwu would have burped long ago.

how come?
Suddenly spit out the poison?

Then people wake up?
It’s so unbelievable, it’s like a ghost!

Ling pointed at the pool of dirty blood spit out by Emperor Yuanwu and said, "How come the bugs your Majesty spit out look a bit like the poison raised by Miss Lingling?"

When Emperor Yuanwu heard this, he suddenly stood up from the couch, but his movements were so violent that he stumbled to the ground.

Zero went to help him, but he pushed him away.

He crawled towards the pool of blood on his hands and knees. He didn't mind the dirt. He reached out and dug into the blood, picked up the little bug and put it in his hand. Tears suddenly overflowed from his eyes.

He had seen this bug.

One time when Zhizhi was talking about practicing Gu skills, he told him that every person who practices Gu will have a Gu pill, which is not only the crystallization of a lifetime of skills, but can also save the Gu master's life in critical moments. It is equivalent to a precious life-saving barrier.

At that time, he thought the Gu Pill was like an elixir, but later Zhizhi showed him the Gu Pill, which turned out to be a cute little insect.

It's exactly the same as the one in his hand...

He had seen it with his own eyes.

Did Zhizhi give him all the life-saving things?
What about Zhizhi?

What to do with Zhizhi?
The queen mother said that Zhizhi had been poisoned by the poison that was specially designed to defeat Gu masters. Can Zhizhi survive without the Gu pill?
Emperor Yuanwu went crazy and grabbed Ling's clothes and asked hoarsely: "Where is Lingling? Where is my Lingling? Have you found her?"

The more Emperor Yuanwu talked, the more frightened he became. He had been poisoned, which meant that the person behind it wanted his life.

In this case, does the so-called transaction still exist?Is the condition he agreed to to his mother still useful?
Will they allow flexibility?
Emperor Yuanwu was like crazy. He grabbed Ling's clothes and asked sternly: "Have you found my spirit?!"

The servants outside are all our own people. They have received orders and will not come in rashly even if they hear the movement inside.

Therefore, they were completely indifferent to Emperor Yuanwu's roar.

Lu Xi quickly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down first. Only you can find Miss Lingling."

This means that it was not found...

Emperor Yuanwu almost collapsed when he heard the news.

Lu Xi took the opportunity to tell Emperor Yuanwu about the situation and what she had ordered Eunuch Lu to do.

Emperor Yuanwu had ferocious veins on his forehead. It took a long time before he slowly calmed down. His fingers drew blood from his palms as he forced himself to calm down.

After a long time, he looked at Ling and Lu Xi and said hoarsely: "Get up first, don't kneel. Tell me, where is Concubine Xiao?"

Ling silently reached under the bed and pulled out the unconscious Concubine Xiao. He pointed at the embarrassed Concubine Xiao and said, "He is here."

Emperor Yuanwu asked: "What are your names?"

He knew that this was someone from Prince Qi's palace. He had seen him before, but he didn't know his name yet.

Lu Xi respectfully replied: "He is Ah Ling, the secret guard of Prince Qi's Palace, and his subordinate is Lu Xi, the guard of Duke Yue's Palace. Because his subordinate knows medical skills, he was sent to the palace."

Emperor Yuanwu took a deep breath. It was obvious that he was suppressing his anger. He said coldly: "Find a way to wake up Concubine Xiao. I have something to ask her."

Lu Xi was very efficient in his work. He directly pulled out the hairpin from his head and stabbed it into Concubine Xiao's body.

Concubine Xiao is awake.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he ran into Emperor Yuanwu's inhumanly angry eyes, and he was so frightened that he almost fainted again.

Emperor Yuanwu clamped her cheeks, his eyes bloodthirsty: "I will only ask you once, where is my Zhizhi! If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"

Concubine Xiao was originally an embroidered pillow with a fierce look and a tender heart. After being frightened by Emperor Yuanwu, she actually revealed Lan Lingling's hiding place: "In...in the secret room where Zhenli and Duke Yue were that night..."

Because of what happened to Princess Zhenli and Lu Mingyong, that courtyard has long been classified as a forbidden area. Although it is heavily guarded, if you can sneak in without the guards, it will not be easy to be discovered.

But Emperor Yuanwu didn't believe it. Regardless of whether his Zhizhi had been locked there before, he was definitely not there now.

The fact that Concubine Xiao mentioned that place so easily meant that there must be a conspiracy there. Once they went there, there might be quite serious consequences.

For example, because they went there to save Zhizhi, they killed Zhizhi instead.

Emperor Yuanwu had no evidence, it was just his intuition.

But he trusted his instincts, because it was about his beloved Zhizhi, and he trusted his instincts.

So, where would Zhizhi be hidden in the tightly guarded imperial city?
