Chapter 206 Meng Po (14)
He turned around and looked at the palace maid who was sleeping in the room.
He rubbed his hands guiltily.
This body is not hers, and she can't control the strength well. I hope she doesn't hurt anyone.
Tonight, when the Southern Emperor lifted her veil, she smelled a faint scent.
There is moisture from soaking herbs and another fragrance.
If she hadn't smelled this fragrance, she wouldn't have been suspicious just because of the smell of medicine on him.
Rebirth incense.
This treasure, revered as a golden rule by Taoists, has the miraculous effect of bringing the dead back to life.
And if used by living people, it can prolong life.
Rebirth incense.
Road.
He believes in Taoism.
The reversal of the situation was really related to him.
I just don’t know why Princess Yinghua was involved with them.
And in this game, what role are you playing unconsciously?
So, she chose tonight when everyone would be relaxed to come out.
This way, it is less likely to be discovered.
Where is it?
There are only a few halls in this palace, just follow the light source.
The biggest and brightest one is where the emperor stays.
Finally, she saw many guards standing outside a not-so-big palace. The emperor should be inside.
But how does she get in?
Even though she had hallucinogenic pills, they were limited in quantity, only three. They could deal with the guards at the door, but not the numerous checkpoints inside.
When she was at a loss, a person came out.
He is slightly plump, with a fair complexion and no beard.
He is the chief eunuch beside the monarch of the Southern Kingdom.
She had seen him.
Just now when we were seeing the emperor off, we saw the leading eunuch waiting at the door.
I just glanced at it casually at the time, but I didn't expect that this would give her an opportunity.
The eunuch walked out directly and no one stopped him. It must be because he came in and out frequently.
While he was out of the guards' sight, Yue Niang took out a pill and crushed it in her hands.
It jumped out and scattered on the eunuch's face.
"Listen, you are now following the emperor's orders. Take me to see the emperor."
She explained it to him word by word.
The drug is extremely effective and can make people hallucinate instantly.
"Yes, I am here on the orders of the Emperor to take the Empress to the forbidden room for a chat."
Forbidden room?
Sure enough, she guessed it right.
This may be the breakthrough.
"Let's go then."
Upon hearing this, the chief eunuch led the way for her.
He looked normal, without revealing any clues.
It is still a genuine product with no deductions. Look at the effect, it can be done whatever you say.
The guards guarding the door saw the eunuch come back with a woman.
They didn't know the person, but they still followed the rules and asked diligently.
"Father-in-law, who is this?"
One of them was afraid of offending an important person, so he asked carefully.
"How dare you! This is our queen, please get out of the way."
"Yes Yes Yes."
The two men knelt on the ground and admitted their mistakes repeatedly.
"Forget it. I just arrived. It's not your fault if I can't recognize you."
He winked at the people next to him and told them to get up.
"Everyone, get up."
The eunuch understood what he meant and said, "Be smart next time. If you admit your mistakes again, watch out for your heads."
After saying that, he walked in with Yue Niang in a swagger, and no one tried to stop him.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor is inside. I am not qualified to enter."
The eunuch led her left and right, and finally stopped in a corridor.
I pointed out a location to her. After crossing the corridor, she would see a black room, which was the forbidden room.
"Okay, then you wait here."
Go to a quiet place by yourself.
The corridor is very long and winding.
But apart from this one, there is no other way, and Yue Niang’s direction is very clear.
After about a cup of tea, sounds gradually came into my ears.
It sounded like the last cry of a dying person.
The monarch of the Southern Kingdom was inside, and the voice didn't sound like his.
Is there another person?
With every step, the sound became clearer.
Moreover, there are not just two of them.
She also heard a third voice.
Arrived.
Less than three steps in front of him, there was a low hanging plaque on the door, which read "Forbidden Room".
This forbidden room was carved out of a semi-open cave, and there was a bottomless black tunnel from the outside to the inside.
Yue Niang approached him step by step.
The cave had a strong echo, so the soft cloth-soled embroidered shoes that I hadn't taken off came in handy.
The voice inside came out without any scruples.
"Why did you faint so quickly today?"
The voice sounded familiar; it belonged to the Southern Kingdom monarch who had just separated from her not long ago.
"How long has this child been able to hold out?"
It was not as gentle as when he spoke to her. At this moment, I don’t know if it was because of the stone walls of the cave, but it was cold, hard and gloomy.
"If you continue bleeding like this, it won't be more than a month."
It was the third voice.
"No, he can't die now."
The emperor's voice was filled with anxiety. "Prince Anyang has only been back in Beijing for a few days. He has been guarding the border for ten years. We can't ask him to collect his son's body as soon as he returns."
Son of King Anyang.
So, the whimpering she heard was from him?
What is the Southern Emperor going to do?
Prince Anyang is his younger brother, and Prince Anyang’s son is his nephew. Why would he want to harm his own blood relative?
It is said that the royal family of this southern country has had few descendants since their ancestors.
In this generation, there were two sons. The elder one inherited the throne, and the younger one became King Anyang.
And now the monarch of the Southern Kingdom is even over 40 years old and has no children.
Yes, none.
Not even the princess.
Yue Niang just remembered the importance of this point.
The emperor had no children and was not in good health.
But the emperor's younger brother had a son.
Even if you use your toes to think, you should be able to understand the fear in the heart of the Southern Emperor.
In addition, it is suspected that King Anyang’s biological children are among them.
If she heard correctly, the emperor and the Taoist priest who came from nowhere, the owner of the third voice, conspired together to plot against the son of Prince Anyang.
But the reason for doing this is extremely intriguing.
First, the emperor's lack of offspring was too harmful to the state. If something happened to the emperor and there was no heir, it would easily lead to civil unrest.
Therefore, if the monarch of the Southern Kingdom is not a born foolish and incompetent ruler, he should choose a child from the royal family as his heir even if he is unwilling.
Then isn’t the son of his younger brother, King Anyang, the best candidate?
Why did his words reveal the fact that they had been plotting to murder this child?
Secondly, since there was no heir, why was the child raised in the palace?
What about Prince Anyang? Did he know what happened to his son?
I just heard that he had been guarding the border for ten years. Did he send the child to the palace because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to be raised well at the border?
Of course, this is just her personal guess.
After all, no parent wants to be separated from their child for so long.
Third, what were the emperor and the Taoist priest conspiring about?
What do they mean by "blood-letting"?
