Chapter 531 Investigate the news
Star Ji City, the imperial palace.

Spring is waning, and the huge palace is cold and quiet, like a golden cemetery.

crunch.

Outside the Hall of Mental Cultivation, two young eunuchs walked through the thin snow with their heads bowed.

"Xiao Luzi, the palace has been quite quiet lately. Let's have a chat."

Shhh!
Xiao Luzi's face changed drastically, and he quickly raised a finger to signal him to shut up.

"Chat? Are you crazy! Where is this place and what time is it now? You still dare to inquire about news indiscriminately."

"I haven't lived enough. If you want to die, don't pull me."

cut.

The other little eunuchs disagreed.

"Don't blame anyone. I didn't mean to ask for news for anyone. It's just that the weather is too cold and there is no one around me to talk to. I feel a little panicked."

Speaking of this, the two happened to walk to a remote corner of the temple.

The man turned his head and looked around.

"There is no one else here, let's just say a few short words, it's okay."

After speaking, he quietly stuffed a silver coin into Xiao Luzi's hand.

The silver ingot is bright and still has body temperature, and it is even more heavy to hold in the hand.

Xiao Luzi was startled, he hesitated for a moment but pushed back.

"What are you doing? You don't have to work for nothing, take it back quickly, I can't take this."

"Accept it." The other little eunuch blinked at him desperately, "It's just a sentence, God knows this matter, you know it."

Xiao Luzi looked around in a panic, and was relieved when he saw that there was really no one around.

He subconsciously weighed the weight in his palm, and couldn't help lowering his voice.

"Tell me, what are you going to do?"

If it was too embarrassing, he immediately let go and turned around to leave.

When the other party saw this, a trace of complacency flashed in his eyes.

"Aren't you usually able to enter and leave the Hall of Mental Cultivation? You must have seen His Majesty. Some nobles want to know how His Majesty is doing now."

Since the opening of the dynasty at the beginning of the year, except for opening the pen and making an appearance at the ceremony of establishing the crown prince, Emperor Changxing has been resting for the rest of the time, and refused everyone's visits.

Not to mention those anxious and fierce people, even the little eunuchs who work near the Hall of Mental Cultivation haven't seen him for a long time.

The little eunuch lightly shook Xiao Luzi's hand holding the silver again, and said with a light smile, "In a word, it is yours, it's as simple as that."

"This..." Xiao Luzi looked a little embarrassed.

"I'm only responsible for cleaning the front hall, and I can't get close to His Majesty's bedroom. Eunuch Chang Lu and his little apprentice have always been watching there, and no one can get close easily."

The other party was not discouraged, "Then you have seen or heard the figure and voice of His Majesty, right?"

Xiao Luzi pondered for a while, "I haven't seen His Majesty this month, but as usual, I can hear His Majesty coughing and throwing things from time to time. By the way, there is also the comforting voice of Eunuch Changlu."

The little eunuch cheered up, and quickly asked: "Is His Majesty coughing violently? Do you smell blood or something..."

As they talked, the expressions of the two slowly changed, and there was a chill behind their backs.

Looking up, several guards armed with sharp weapons came out from nowhere, staring at them expressionlessly.

It’s over.

Xiao Luzi's legs went limp, and the silver ingot in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

No no.

They were quickly dragged away with their mouths covered, and the world never saw these two again.

Inside the hall.

The doors and windows were closed tightly, and the smell of medicine was so strong that it was almost suffocating.

hum.

Emperor Changxing just woke up.

He held his head in pain, smelling the weird smell of medicine around him, and the mania in his heart surged up again and again.

what.

With a roar, he suddenly stretched out his hands and frantically moved around.

However, everything that can be touched has either been smashed long ago, or has been removed by Changlu.

Emperor Changxing grabbed it wildly for a while, but he didn't catch anything.

In a fit of rage, he had no choice but to grab the medicine pack on his forehead, wanting to tear it off.

"Your Majesty!" However, before Emperor Changxing could make a move, the shocked Chang Lu had already rushed over like the wind, and quickly grabbed his hand.

"Your Majesty, this old slave knows that you are not feeling well, but Master Hongguang said that it takes at least two quarters of an hour for the medicine to take effect. For your dragon body, please bear with it as much as possible."

As he spoke, the old eunuch pointed to the hourglass not far away.

"Look, the sand will be drained right away. How about the old slave help you take it down as soon as the time is up?"

Emperor Changxing had been mad for a while and was already exhausted, so he remained silent at this moment, just raised his head and followed Changlu's hand to look at the hourglass.

However, seeing this made him even more ashamed.

The hourglass is placed not far away, at most half a foot away.However, when Emperor Changxing looked over, he could only see a blur.

Not to mention the sand, you can't even see where the hourglass is.

"Your Majesty?" Chang Lu's heart dropped, he couldn't help stretching out his hand and shaking it in front of Emperor Changxing's eyes, "Can you still see the hourglass on the Baibao Pavilion?"

Emperor Changxing didn't make a sound, and sat limply on the dragon bed, looking lifelessly at the golden and emerald roof of the palace.

After a while, he said hoarsely, "There was a lot of movement outside the hall just now, what happened?"

After finishing speaking, Emperor Changxing couldn't help laughing wryly.

In the past few months, his headaches have become more and more severe, and sometimes he even has nosebleeds for no reason, and his vision has become more and more blurred, but perhaps it was a blessing in disguise, and his hearing has improved several times.

Whether it was inside or outside the hall, he could hear every sound clearly.

"This..." Chang Lu's heart twitched slightly.

He stayed by the dragon bed all the time, and really didn't pay attention to what happened outside the hall.

The little apprentice was very clever, so he quickly slipped out to inquire about the situation, and came back in a while to tell the truth.

Ha ha.

Emperor Changxing sneered, his eyes were shining with a dangerous red light.

"How many times is this the first time? It seems that everyone is looking forward to my death."

whee.

Chang Lu laughed habitually.

"Your Majesty, don't think about it too much. You are the head of a country's king and family. Every now and then, you send people over to ask questions, just because you care about you."

After speaking, he looked at the sky outside and quickly changed the subject.

"Your Majesty, look, the spring hunting is coming soon."

"As long as Your Majesty waits patiently for a few more days, and wait for Master Hongguang and the imperial physicians to develop a cure for the disease. At that time, the old slave will go to the royal hunting ground with Your Majesty for an outing, and see Your Majesty show off your majesty with your arrows."

Humph.

Emperor Changxing glared at the old eunuch angrily.

He just had a splitting headache, not Alzheimer's.

In my heart, I knew the reason why the concubines tried their best to inquire about him.

"What is Concubine Tianqing doing these days?"

Chang Lu was slightly taken aback, "Returning to Your Majesty, the imperial concubine, as usual, has been practicing martial arts and riding horses in Qingyun Palace, and has never left the palace gate."

Changxing's face softened a little, "If everyone else is like her, then I will feel much more at ease..."

The master and servant just chatted without saying a word, and the time passed quickly.

It didn't take long for the last grain of sand to leak out, and Chang Lu hurriedly helped the master remove the medicine that had been applied to his head.

call.

Emperor Changxing heaved a sigh of relief.

The topical medicine was extremely smelly and heavy, and it was still hot. It was like wearing a torture instrument when it was applied to the head.

It is an insult to the majesty of the emperor.

If it weren't for Master Hongguang who is deeply loved by the people and is one of the few Taifus who can be counted on.

Otherwise, Emperor Changxing would have killed him a long time ago just based on this trick on his head and publishing articles in newspapers without authorization.

"What is Master Hongguang doing now?"

whee.

"Your Majesty, Master Hongguang came here once in the morning, but you fell asleep with difficulty at that time, so the old slave didn't bother you."

"Morning," Emperor Changxing frowned slightly, "Did he say anything?"

"The master didn't say anything," Chang Lu shook his head, "he just said he would come back tomorrow."

Speaking of this, the old eunuch hesitated for a moment.

"Your Majesty, the master has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for everything, and the old slave saw him with a happy face in the morning, maybe he has found a cure for His Majesty."

"Really?" Emperor Changxing knew that it was unlikely, but he still couldn't help being refreshed.

"Then what are you waiting for? I'm awake now, and I feel better than ever. Hurry up to the Tai Hospital and find the master."

"Your Majesty," Chang Lu wanted to persuade, "You just woke up, why not..."

"Stop talking nonsense," Emperor Changxing roared, "Go quickly."

Chang Lu secretly sighed, and waved to the little apprentice not far away.
