Moisture is silent

The sky is bright and it is still a scorching autumn day.

In the deep palace, Emperor Qing woke up drowsily, his extremely tired eyes fell on the face of the noble concubine who was waiting by the side.

"Your Majesty." The imperial concubine looked at Emperor Qing worriedly, and gently reached out to help him.

Emperor Qing sat up, supported his forehead and said in a hoarse voice, "Where is Yuxiu?"

A trace of sullenness flashed in the imperial concubine's eyes, the damn Princess Yuxiu hasn't come yet!Your Majesty should punish that dead girl.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the concubine has been sending people to guard the gate of the princess mansion for the past two days, but Princess Yuxiu has never returned home. Since going out with the Taoist priest two days ago, she has never returned to the mansion." The noble concubine couldn't help panicking, if Princess Yuxiu didn't return for a long time, it would delay His Majesty's condition, what would be good.What a daring princess, knowing that His Majesty needed him and the real person, she unexpectedly left the capital at a critical moment, making her impossible to find.Really confident.

Emperor Qing let out a long sigh, expecting that it was his conversation with Yuxiu that day that made Yuxiu feel bad, that child is not... a cruel person.He believed that Yuxiu would not really leave the capital.

He is weak and weak now, but he can feel that there is no cure, but if he wants to return to the battlefield, he may really die.Damn it, Wu Dongguo only had a truce for a few days, and then launched an attack again, but he couldn't do what he wanted.

Now far away in Luoshui City, the one who led the army to fight against the enemy for him was actually his confidant Fude, who is that Fude, eunuch, eunuch.He trusted Fude, but if it wasn't a last resort, he really didn't want an eunuch to be a general.Moreover, Ford is older than him, how long can he last?

"Is there any news from the battlefield during the day I slept?"

The noble concubine dodged her eyes and said timidly: "Return to your majesty... The emperor of Wu Dongguo personally marched, treacherously and cunningly attacked the east and west, and captured the next...Mianzhou Prefecture, and it was too late when the soldiers of Luoshui City rushed to support. General Fu was in chaos. slew one eye..."

Emperor Qing stared angrily, trembling with anger: "Mianzhou! You even robbed me of Mianzhou!"

"Your Majesty, calm down! Your Majesty, calm down! The imperial doctor said, you can't get angry!"

Emperor Qing pushed him away with a palm: "Help me up, I want to go to court!"

"Your Majesty...you have to think twice. You are already so weak, and there are so many young officials in the court. Your Majesty should send someone else. The second prince and the fourth prince have already come here one by one. Wanting to share His Majesty's worries and difficulties, the two princes took the initiative to invite Ying to go to the battlefield to repel Wu Dongguo. My concubine would rather have them go than bear His Majesty's hard work."

Emperor Qing raised his hand to lift the vase, stood up and faced.

The morning came late this day, and it was almost noon.

Emperor Qing's red eyes glared at every official in the court, and finally fell on the prince's face: "Wu Dongguo has occupied our Saihe Mansion, Huan'an Mansion, and Mianzhou, and now Luoshui is in danger! The emperor of Wu Dongguo personally marched like a tiger. You Say, how should I defend Qing Kingdom?"

"Father, my son is willing to go to Mianzhou and Luoshui in person to resist foreign enemies!" The second prince was the first to come out, his face full of anger and courage.

Emperor Qing nodded in satisfaction, although this son was born of a humble court lady, with mediocre civil and martial arts, he was still somewhat bloody.

The fourth prince then came out: "Father, my son, like the second brother, is willing to go to the battlefield and fight to the death against the Wu Dong thieves!"

Emperor Qing smiled comfortably: "Okay, he is indeed my good son. I am really afraid that I will end up like this, and I will have to drag my sick body to go on an expedition again. Fortunately, I still have two sons. A filial and brave son."

"Father!" The crown prince plopped down on his knees and kowtowed heavily: "I am willing to go! I swear to the death to repel the Wudong barbarians, take back my Daqing rivers and mountains, and never let the Wudong barbarians snatch away my Daqing tiles again! Please, father!" The emperor is perfect!"

"Okay! This is my prince!"

Emperor Qing was overjoyed, and suddenly he let go of the big stone in his heart. No matter how Confucian the prince is, he is not an idiot. He believes that the prince is just inexperienced. When he really goes to the battlefield to practice, he will definitely perform well.

"I have decided that the prince will personally lead the army to Luoshui for support this time, and defend the enemy with the border soldiers. The second child, you will go with the prince. There is also Cai Shengqi from the military department..."

Emperor Qing was in high spirits, ordering troops and generals.

The prince who returned to his original position was in a trance, feeling cold in his heart.He really didn't want to go to the battlefield, but he had no choice. It seemed that his father would not die for a while... and his second and fourth younger brothers were aggressive.If he doesn't show any more, he will only disappoint his father, and when the time comes, the crown prince's position will be unstable, and the result will still be miserable.

If he doesn't go to this war, he has to go.

The crown prince secretly hated why Yuxiu wanted to go back to Beijing!Why did Yuxiu want to rescue her father!Why didn't he heed the suggestion of his staff at that time, and be more ruthless and decisive!

The crown prince was extremely helpless, far away from him, Ning Shizi narrowed his eyes slightly, and sneered sneeringly at the corners of his mouth.The eyes that secretly glanced at Emperor Qing were thought-provoking.

Outside Beijing, Lushui County.

Lushui County is close to the capital, and the small county is more prosperous than other places. There are also several places of interest in the county, the most famous of which is the Lushui Taoist Temple with a history of hundreds of years.

A young man in sapphire blue brocade was walking on the mountain steps and eating beef cubes. A young man in black beside him was carrying a bamboo basket, which contained several freshly picked wild fruits and seedlings of unknown plants.

Looking at the sunset, the young man couldn't help sighing: "Today wasted another day. The nearby monk temples, Taoist temples, and suspicious places have been searched all over, and nothing has been found. The more this is the case, the more suspicious it is. How should I find clues now?" ?”

The man in black next to him took off the water bag at his waist and handed it to the young man, then said: "It is not the strangest thing that Yun Jinrong's soul can't be found. The most suspicious thing is that even if there are no old ghosts left, there is no new ghost .The huge capital city, plus neighboring counties, villages, etc., are too clean."

The young man drank the water, and the light on his lips shone brightly, "I think there must be suspicious villains hiding near the capital. Or, there is a forbidden formation specifically for undead."

"Formation?"

"Yes, Uncle Cang Yun taught me many types of formations, among which the formation of devouring souls and refining evil skills is a forbidden technique."

"It's not impossible."

"Based on Brother Yun's current cultivation, let's search again, and we will definitely find clues."

Yun Runsheng nodded, and the two continued to walk forward. Suddenly, the boy stopped.

"Wait, if there is a formation that devours the soul, Yun Liu and Master Yun who have been following us are safe and sound. In the entire capital, they will become the last undead."

That Yun Liu immediately said: "I didn't sense any uneasiness."

The boy continued: "Tell me, will the other party know how powerful you are, so they have been avoiding you?"

"Most likely."

"Then let's wait and see."

On the same day, the boy and Yun Runsheng returned to the mansion. As soon as they arrived, Emperor Qing sent someone to order that within three months, Princess Yuxiu was not allowed to go out without permission, unless Emperor Qing personally summoned her.

In the room, Song Yuxiu looked impatient: "Think you can control me? It's really annoying."

"So why don't you get angry. What should we do or what should we do."

"Hahahaha, I got good news. The crown prince has finally gone to the battlefield. He is a worthless waste. If he had half the courage of his father, he would not have lost Mianzhou now! I really don't understand, just because it is the empress. What if it is the crown prince? The crown prince, the son of heaven, should be obtained by those who can. The prince's temperament and talent are not for the emperor at all. If he becomes the emperor, it will be the suffering of the people. In a few years, let alone Wu Dongguo, the rest of the countries are covetous How can you miss a good opportunity. Even at sea, I'm afraid I have to start all over again."

Yun Runsheng looked at the boy quietly without interrupting.

The young man didn't say anything, although he was disappointed with Emperor Qing, he still recognized Emperor Qing's ability in his heart, as well as his heart of worrying about the country and the people.

Yun Runsheng was speechless. Anyway, he had no feelings or feelings for Qing Guo.He is completely indifferent to wars between nations.People fight with each other, that's idle, no matter how they are killed, they will not be extinct.

"I think that person won't do anything if I'm around." Yun Runsheng said suddenly.

"Do you want to go by yourself?" The young man understood immediately.

"That's right, I'll go first, and I'll come back to you later."

"...Hmph, it doesn't have to be like this, we can wait slowly, I don't believe that person is more patient than us. The capital is like an empty city now, and there are no dead spirits. It is said that since he came for the dead spirits , then you should leave the capital, it’s easier to go to other places to do evil. Now unless a plague breaks out in the capital, there is no soul, so what is his purpose?”

"There must be a purpose of staying in the capital, a very important purpose."

"Yes."

"So, I'll leave tomorrow morning and give him a chance."

"...Then you have to go back early and don't go far."

"Don't worry, with you here, that's where I want to go back."

"Big Brother Yun..."

In the house, the man and the boy couldn't help but embrace each other passionately.

At dawn the next day, Yun Runsheng left the princess mansion alone.

For five days in a row, Yun Runsheng did not come back.

Even Emperor Qing couldn't help summoning Princess Yuxiu: "That Master Yun has left?"

"Well, he went out of town on business to help a friend find something important. He won't be back for a month or two."

"Oh."

"Yuxiu, do you still have the elixir?"

The young man smiled, "If the father wants it, I will have it. It's just that I have to remind the father that the elixir is most effective for the first time, and the effect will gradually decrease after taking too much."

"Hey... I know."

"Father, take care."

The emperor looked at the young man who left, hesitant to speak.

Yun Runsheng left for fifteen days in a blink of an eye, and Princess Yuxiu was always in the mansion.

Suddenly there was a battle report from the border.

Luoshui City fell!

"...The crown prince's reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. General Fu guarded Luoshui City for two days and two nights. The women, children, old and weak in the city resisted desperately. General Fu was shot to death by the enemy. Luoshui City was defeated... and finally fell..."

"Damn—" In the court hall, the emperor was furious. He drew out his sword and slashed at the soldiers who came to inform him.

The soldier's face was ashen, motionless.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty suddenly came to their senses, and several old ministers rushed out to stop the mad emperor. Shizi Ning was a well-known talent in the capital.Seeing that the Son of Heaven was angry and wanted to kill someone, Concubine Ning immediately jumped out to stop him: "Father, think twice! Father, you must not!"

"Hey!" The Son of Heaven yelled angrily, and suddenly he tilted his head, spat out a mouthful of dirty blood, and fell to the ground with a bang.

"His Majesty!"

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

"Hurry up and declare the imperial physician!"

In the princess mansion, Song Yuxiu who was bored was studying the paints sent by the fourth princess.He picked out every bottle of paint and tried again and again to make a mark that he could understand.

These paints are bright and bright. He casually painted the roses in the courtyard. On the pure white rice paper, delicate red, bright yellow, deep purple, light pink, milky white, colorful flowers are blooming brilliantly, lifelike and extremely vivid.

Suddenly, the boy's writing hand trembled, and a drop of ink stained the flowers, making them all filthy and ugly in an instant.

The young man put down his pen and closed his eyes: "Father..." He clearly wanted to be indifferent, but why did he always have the feeling of being connected with each other.Is this the involvement of blood?

In the house, the boy's figure disappeared.

The young man appeared in the palace and went straight to Emperor Qing's bedroom.

In front of the bedchamber, the inner three floors and the outer three floors of the Guards were tightly surrounded, and outside the boundaries, there were civil and military officials, children and concubines of Emperor Qing silently kneeling everywhere.

Song Yuxiu suddenly appeared, disturbing the silent atmosphere.

"Princess Yuxiu, please stop, the imperial physician is currently diagnosing His Majesty, no one is allowed to enter!"

Song Yuxiu's gaze swept over everyone, but did not see the imperial concubine or empress.

"Go and inform the imperial concubine, I have a pill that might be able to save my father."

The commander of the guards did not change his face: "The imperial concubine ordered that no one is allowed to enter!"

"Including me?" Song Yuxiu stared.

"anyone."

"Princess Yuxiu, the guards are also obeying orders, hey, why don't you come with us and wait quietly outside, praying for the emperor's blessing." Concubine Ning suddenly came over and tried to persuade her.

Song Yuxiu didn't even look at him, "No one can stop me, if Emperor Father has something good or bad, I..."

hum-

The angry boy flickered suddenly, his pupils dilated unbelievably, and all the voices stopped abruptly.

There was a dead silence all around.

The palace door creaked open.

An old man came out on his knees, weeping sharply: "Your Majesty... has passed away!"

That sharp voice echoed outside the palace for a long time, Song Yuxiu's mind was buzzing all the time, she just felt that the voice was so far away that it seemed that she couldn't really hear it.

What did he say?

His Majesty……

How is Your Majesty?

Your Majesty... is dead...

what for?

"Wooooow... Your Majesty!"

"Wow, Father!"

The concubines, princesses and princes outside the door suddenly burst into tears, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty followed suit. For a while, the huge venue was filled with the sound of mourning.

Snapped.

The chaotic teenager suddenly came to his senses, staring blankly at the weeping people.

Father... is dead.

just die?

Not a single last word was spoken to him.

Shouldn't be.

Should not!

Shouldn't have died so soon.

He thought that with him around, his father could at least live another year, two years...

many years.

If he had better pills and better methods, he actually didn't care. He was magnanimous and generous. Although he was very dissatisfied with his father, it was because of his biological father's blood connection and the friendship that gave birth to him and raised him. For the sake of pampering him, he is willing to take it out.

He really wants to take it out.

Give him to eat, eat enough, as long as he has, he will give, keep giving, as much as he wants, just let him live, he will give, give it all, live for one more year, live for ten years ...

As long as he has, he is willing!

"Father!"

Heavy rain, pouring down.
