C407 Drop down

"Rou Er, don't be in such a hurry!" Xiao Zhenhai quickly called his maidservant to support her and said, "Rou Rou, you're right. The Fourth Prince is my future son-in-law. I will do everything I can to save her. Don't panic. Take good care of your health."

"En!" Xiao Rou nodded her head vigorously. "Fourth Prince is relying on Father."

Xiao Zhenhai hurriedly left the Xiao family's residence with Xiao He. His expression was incredibly serious and his brows were tightly knitted together as he said, "He Er, explain this matter to me in detail again."

"Yes, Father."

On the carriage that hastily rushed to the Imperial Palace, Xiao He narrated the matter once again.

Xiao Zhen Hai slapped his thigh and said, "The Fourth Prince has been tricked by the Ninth Prince and Lian Meng Yue!" He'er, after you enter the palace, immediately go find someone to investigate the whereabouts of that palace maid called Hui Zhi. If you die, don't let the corpse go. "

"Yes, Father." Xiao He clenched his fist and said, "Such a meticulous person like Fourth Prince is indeed rare. Not only that, but his strategy is also first class. However, he has repeatedly lost to Ninth Prince and Lian Meng Yue!"

"We can only blame them for being too crafty. They had been too good at acting in the past, and their foundation is much deeper than we imagined. To pull them out would be a difficult matter!" Xiao Zhen Hai said.

"Then what should we do?" "Recently, I've been teaching the thirteenth princess swordsmanship at Yi Xiu Palace. I've been observing her from the shadows, and I've been probing her. Although the emperor has never mentioned this in the imperial court, the empress dowager means that the eighth and ninth princes have the greatest chance of victory. The fourth prince's successive defeats are no longer within the consideration of the emperor."

Xiao Zhenhai's face revealed a cold smile. "Until the very last moment, no one knows what will happen."

The carriage continued to move forward along the path, the wheels of the carriage started to make sounds.

At this moment, in the Imperial Palace.

After drinking some medicine, Zhou Cheng Emperor laid down to rest, but the injury to his calf made him a little uncomfortable. He called for Feng De Gui, vented his temper, and said, "Send my order immediately, flatten Bird Lake!" "I, the Son of Heaven, have been wounded like this in my own palace."

Feng De Gui's forehead was covered in sweat as he said, "Your Majesty, the late emperor once said that the Sparrow Lake is the foundation of the palace. Only by keeping a corner can we ensure the safety of the four palaces."

"Keep the four palaces safe? What I have experienced today is the greatest humiliation! Where is peace? "

"Your Imperial Majesty, Adept Xuanwei has arrived!" At this moment, a voice called out from outside the hall. It was followed by a loud and clear voice.

"Immeasurable Buddha."

He saw a Taoist in a white daoist robe and holding a horsetail whisk walk in.

When Zhou Chengdi saw Daoist Xuanwei, he hurriedly sat up. "Adept, why have you come?"

A few years ago, the Emperor was obsessed with Taoism and invited the Taoists to the palace. He even invited the Taoists to the palace, trained in the Imperial Palace day and night, and also trained in medicine, among the Taoists who entered the palace was Daoist Master Xuanwei. The empress dowager bitterly advised him, and also joined with Xiao Zhenhai and others to advise him on how to destroy the Taoist.

The court ministers were afraid that the emperor would be controlled by Daoist priests, so they later proposed that the entire country's Daoist temple be dismantled, and that all the Daoist priests in the capital be chased away.

However, at that time, a portion of the people, led by Ninth Prince Feng Yunzheng, believed that exterminating all the Daoists would be against the will of the heavens, and would allow the Buddhism to grow on its own.

When he saw that the emperor was injured, he shook his head and sighed. "Your majesty, I didn't expect that I would arrive too late. I guess it's impossible to avoid such a calamity happening to your majesty."

"This is the calamity? What do you mean by that? " Zhou Cheng Emperor asked as his heart tightened.

"Your Majesty, don't worry. This is a pill that this Penniless Priest refined in forty-nine days. Your Majesty, please consume it first." Daoist Master Xuanwei took out a blue medicine bottle and handed it over with his two hands.

"I just happened to have consumed all my pills and sent them over to you. I was injured and was in urgent need of these pills. Feng Degui, water." An expression of joy appeared on the Emperor's face. After consuming a pill, he actually felt his throat lubricate, and a moment later, he felt a comfortable feeling spread throughout his body.

"How does the Emperor feel?" Adept Xuanwei asked.

"Very good! "Since Taoist Master has rendered meritorious service to us by refining medicinal pills, we will definitely reward you with it." The Emperor's mood was finally slightly better.

"Being able to refine pills for the emperor was something this Penniless Priest had cultivated for several generations. This Penniless Priest does not dare to ask for his reward. "Your majesty, in truth, this humble Taoist's visit today was not as important as the gift of pills. The most important thing is to help Your Majesty resolve his predicament." Adept Xuanwei's face was somewhat grim.

"Eliminate disasters and solve difficulties? What do you mean? " Zhou Chengdi asked urgently as he thought about the sinking of the floating boat.

"Does the Emperor still remember that direct daughter of the Prime Minister Lian's, Lian Xiyue?" Adept Xuanwei slightly closed his eyes, his fingers forming seals as he spoke.

Zhou Cheng Di nodded. "Does her injury to me have anything to do with it?"

"Exactly." Adept Xuanwei nodded.

"She did it to me!" Could Fourth Brother's analysis be correct? "

"Neither." "Your majesty, do you still remember that day when she caused that withered tree to meet with spring? That hundred year old tree met with spring because of her. When she left the Heavenly Prison for two days, that old tree's foundation actually crumbled and collapsed with a loud bang. "

Zhou Chengdi nodded. "I have a deep impression of this matter. I feel that her bearing and appearance are extraordinary, and I intend to bring her into the harem. However, she's still not too old yet, so we'll have to wait for a while."

Sighing heavily, Daoist Xuanwei said in a heavy tone, "Your Majesty, you absolutely cannot! Her fate is incompatible with the Emperor's. If the Emperor were to think too much, he will definitely invite disaster upon himself. Today's matter is a warning from the heavens to the Emperor.

"Is there such a thing?" Zhou Chengdi looked surprised, "Could she be a bane star? "Will I be in trouble if I get close to him?"

"She is a lucky star. If it was a Bane, how could he make a dead tree meet its spring? This Penniless Priest had already calculated in detail that there would be another person appearing during this Lunar Mark. However, this person is indeed not His Majesty. "

Zhou Chengdi pursed his lips as he pondered over this matter.

Daoist Master Xuanwei continued, "If the Emperor is unwilling to let it go, within ten days, another calamity will occur. By then, this Penniless Priest won't be able to do anything about it."

After a long while, Zhou Cheng Di finally sighed and said, "Forget it, since that's the case, I won't think about it anymore. I'm not a perverted and retarded king of a woman, so let's just drop this matter and not bring it up again in the future."

"The Emperor is truly wise and wise. This is the fortune of the Great Zhou. Long live and long live the Emperor!" Adept Xuanwei was overjoyed. He knelt on the ground and called out loudly.

Xiao Zhenhai and Xiao He got off the carriage, crossed the True Sun Sect, and headed straight for the Imperial Palace.
