"Your Majesty King Ding, please be clear to me. It's not that the general is trying to stop you. It's actually an order that I have to carry out." The guard leader is young, has a handsome face, and his words and deeds have the unique characteristics of a descendant of aristocratic families and nobles. smell.

But facing the menacing royal relatives, the leader still couldn't help sweating on his forehead. He eagerly explained that his background and strength would not play any role at this moment.

When King Ding heard this, he sneered and asked: "The order? Whose order? What is our relationship with His Majesty? When I heard that His Majesty was ill, I came over to visit him as soon as possible. This is a blood relationship, who can stop it? The palace is in charge. It’s the Queen Mother, don’t tell me, it was the Queen Mother who gave the order to prevent us royal relatives from visiting Your Majesty!”

Hearing this, the leader of the guards sweated even more on his head, but he could only bite the bullet and said: "It is the Queen Mother. Please, Your Highness, please retreat temporarily. As long as there is a change in the order, I will send someone to invite you all as soon as possible." ”

"Queen Mother?" Prince Ding raised his eyebrows slightly. He had already made a guess about this answer. He came here twice before and already understood most of it. The reason why he is still asking now is to avoid leaving any trace and pretend to be confused on the surface. , "Really the Queen Mother? This is strange, but since it is the Queen Mother's decree, we can't break in, but you should go in and report, saying that I, Li Duo, am worried about the Emperor's dragon body and want to see the Holy Face."

"You must obey." Seeing that King Ding's tone had become calm, the leader of the guards breathed a sigh of relief and complied with his request.

However, he knew very well that King Ding's request would not succeed. Several prime ministers had made similar requests before, but they all failed, let alone a prince like him.

On the surface, the prince and the emperor are blood relatives and have a closer relationship, but things in the Tian family are different from ordinary people. There is often a gap between blood relatives, which is not as clear as the relationship with the ministers.

but. These thoughts can only exist in the heart, and the guard leader will not say them out. If he refuses, he doesn't know how the prince or king opposite him will hate him. In comparison, running errands and asking questions are nothing.

In fact, even he, the commander of the palace guards, could not see the emperor and could only be informed outside the palace. The people in the palace. They are also under strict control. I heard that Eunuch Wei personally supervised them. Not to mention secretly spreading news, even one more word or one more look would be discovered. There were already two Xiaohuangmen and a palace maid, so they were Killed with a stick.

Sure enough, the final news came that King Ding's request was still not granted. The prince could only shake his head and left with the other royal relatives with a look of regret. Looking at him, it was obvious that he was quite concerned about the emperor's safety.

"In this royal family, there is still family ties after all." Many guards thought this when they saw it.

Little did they know that when Prince Ding was returning to the palace, he went straight into a private courtyard in the backyard. Laugh out loud!

This smile lasted for several breaths and then stopped. There was still a little bit of rosiness and lingering joy on his face.

"Even the Queen Mother wants to block the news. In this case, the emperor's situation must be very dangerous, and he may have met with misfortune! In this case, the only obstacle is that young boy. What else is there to worry about?"

Thinking like this, King Ding paced the courtyard repeatedly, back and forth more than a dozen times, and finally suppressed his excitement.

After a few more breaths, he adjusted his breathing and returned to the prince who showed no emotion or anger, and then left the independent courtyard.

Strange to say, King Ding laughed so loudly in the courtyard before, but the guards and servants outside the courtyard didn't hear him at all. When they saw him coming out, they all went over to salute.

Nodding, King Ding said: "Invite Mr. Luo, Mr. Wu, Mr. De and several Taoist priests over."

"Yes." After listening to the instructions, several servants nodded immediately. After it was time for tea, someone came and filed into the private courtyard.

Some of these people were wearing Confucian robes, some were wearing cloaks, but most were wearing Taoist robes.

A total of seven people walked into the courtyard, and the fifth person to arrive was none other than Taoist Master Feihu of Fengling Dao.

After they walked in, they entered the room one by one. The room was spacious and bright, with many tables and chairs set up. There were tea sets on the table next to the chairs, which were steaming hot.

The seven people bowed to each other and then took their seats. The leader, King Ding, smiled, greeted twice, and then recounted what he had seen and heard in the palace.

Speaking later, he analyzed: "The Queen Mother did not even allow the royal family to enter, which shows how bad the situation is. The king also received news that in order to block the news, even the servants in the palace were killed with sticks. This shows that this time The emperor's fainting is not a trivial matter, it is probably a God-given opportunity. I wonder what you think?" After saying this, he looked around at everyone with a look of anticipation.

None of the seven people present made a sound immediately. After a while, the person closest to King Ding said: "Your Highness is so sure that the emperor's fainting is not trivial. Is it possible that he has some information that we don't know about? On the day the emperor fell into coma, the sky in the capital changed. There was a flash of dark thunder, which seemed to be a supernatural power. If the prince knows the inside story, I hope he can tell him. "This man is about forty years old, has a Chinese character face, has a long beard, wears a big cloak, and looks majestic.

Hearing these words, King Ding's thoughts jumped and he said calmly: "I don't know much about this matter."

At this time, it was Taoist Feihu who asked: "My lord, you went to the palace to ask for an audience with the emperor, but you failed to do so. However, I heard rumors from people that Qiu Yan was summoned to the palace a few days ago. Is it true to stay in front of the emperor?"

"This king is also very concerned about what Mr. Wu said. He specially asked someone to investigate and confirm that it is true." When talking about the name "Qiu Yan", King Ding showed a little solemnity on his face, "Qiu Yan was called into the palace. It happened shortly after the emperor fainted, and even the Prime Minister was blocked outside the palace. Only he could enter. I am still investigating the reason behind it. "

After hearing the answer, Taoist Master Feihu nodded and stopped asking further questions.

"We need to find out more about this matter, but there is something more important. Even if the prince is in charge of the divine weapon in the future, if this matter is not dealt with stably, it will be the source of disaster." Another person spoke. This person was thin and wore a square scarf. , wearing Confucian clothes, with a pair of narrow eyes, a mustache, and a sharp voice.

King Ding was not surprised and asked directly: "Mr. Luo, are you referring to the national war?"

"It's a national war!" The thin man known as Mr. Luo touched his beard. "No news is allowed in the palace. Even the prime minister cannot know about it. In the short term, it only isolates the inside and outside of the palace. , but as time goes by, people's hearts will inevitably wander, and then the frontline troops will become a big problem. Since ancient times, when the country builds its troops but the leader is weak, the results are not very good. The prince should have stopped this early. "

"Of course, I am also paying attention to this matter!" King Ding said, but frowned, "However, it is too early to think about this now. Before that, we must first find out who the emperor's nephew is. What’s going on?”

…

This meeting lasted for about a meal. During this period, King Ding was mainly talking, while the other seven people were listening, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two, but most of them still asked questions, but they gave King Ding a lot of hints.

After waiting for a while, the excitement in King Ding's heart had dissipated, replaced by the eagerness to confirm the emperor's situation.

On the other hand, the seven people, including Taoist Feihu, did not leave from the main entrance and back door of the palace, as if they disappeared out of thin air.

After a few breaths, Taoist Feihu returned to the courtyard where he had been living and sat alone in the courtyard.

"The situation is chaotic now, and the prince you selected this time is really likely to succeed."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind. In the empty yard, a figure slowly appeared. Accompanied by the sound of running water, a stream of water outlined an outline in the air, revealing a human shape. It turned out to be a figure wearing a The man in Taoist robes had a handsome face and looked to be in his teens.

Taoist Feihu said without looking back: "You still don't like to knock on the door and arrive silently and invisible. If you fall into the ban of Pindao, don't complain."

The young Taoist priest smiled and said: "You also know the rules of the Water Disaster Way. There is no way to bring blessings and disasters, but people call for them. How can disasters knock on the door in advance? Besides, I followed the flying dragon across the continent this time. You You already know, why do you need to say more?" His feet were already stained with water, but his figure was condensed.

Feihu shook his head and changed the topic: "Is it because of the emperor that you came here this time?"

"Yes, a few days ago, such a strong cause and effect fluctuation could be sensed by anyone with a little cultivation. How could I miss such a thing happening in a place like the Imperial City?" the young Taoist priest said, his nose twitching. "It is indeed interesting. There is still a clear smell of warning, threat and suppression in the remaining aura. I think that on that day, all the extraordinary people in this city who have done anything strange should have been affected. No wonder there will be no one to protect the emperor."

Having said this, he smiled and said: "By the way, what did the prince you were assisting say? He wouldn't deny such an obvious thing, right? Although it was an unimaginable existence in the starry sky that directly intervened, but if Without the bloodline introduction, it is impossible to control the power of the master directly at the real dragon in the palace. "

Taoist Master Feihu sighed, and then said: "It's not all because of threats. Throughout the ages, there have been countless killings of brothers, fathers and sons, and blood conflicts in the Tian family of this dynasty. As long as the foundation of the dynasty remains unchanged and relies on the dragon The extraordinary people who are angry will not interfere too much, otherwise there will be no coups in the history books, let alone coups, not even the change of dynasty will happen. "

At this time, the young Taoist priest came to sit in front of him and said: "Whether it is a change of dynasty or a bloodline coup, the reason why extraordinary people who rely on dragon energy are allowed to indulge is not due to cause and effect? ​​What if Emperor Darui had not made some changes? , causing the country's cauldron to move unexpectedly, creating the appearance of a great dispute, and resulting in great cause and effect. How can an extraordinary person fail to save him? "(To be continued...)
