Greetings, Ninth Uncle

"Just now the father-in-law has passed the letter, and the prince is going to the Qianqing Palace to meet the saint."

Cheng Yujin responded, took a fan from the side, and gently fanned the two children. For some reason, she sat for a while and felt uneasy. The palace maid took the fan in Cheng Yujin's hand, and after Cheng Yujin carefully instructed, she led the person out. She took two steps and suddenly stopped: "No, why did the emperor call him to the Qianqing Palace? Didn't the emperor live in the Yinghua Palace these days?"

Chapter 144 The Finale

The palace maid didn't expect this, she frowned when she heard Cheng Yujin's question, and shook her head: "I don't know."

Cheng Yujin felt inexplicably uneasy. The people around the emperor in the palace came to call. Whoever didn't go immediately when they got the news, why would they think about other things carefully. Cheng Yujin immediately called the eunuch who was in charge of inquiring about the news and asked, "Who entered the palace today?"

The eunuch thought for a while, and said, "If you go back to the Crown Princess, I will rush the Xu Sanren into the palace today. Oh yes, King Shou is here too."

"Chongxu Sanren, King Shou..." Cheng Yujin's intuition was that it would not be a good thing. Recently, Shouwang and Chongxu Sanren got very close, and often went together to pour the emperor's ecstasy soup. The emperor was obsessed with the way of longevity, and he was a little confused at first, but now he was controlled by Chongxu San and Shouwang, and he became more and more ignorant of world affairs, and outsiders could not contact the emperor at all.

According to previous experience, after King Shou and Chongxu Sanren entered the palace, they would always stay in the palace for several hours. Today, they only entered the palace at Wei Shi, and now before You Shi, most of King Shou and Chong Xu Sanren are still in the palace. The decree announced that Li Chengjing went to the Qianqing Palace, was it really what the emperor said?

Cheng Yujin asked, "What is the reason for rushing into the palace today for the Xu Sanren?"

The eunuch scratched his head, not quite sure: "It seems to be for the longevity pill. Ten days ago, Chongxu Sanren received a big reward for refining longevity pills for the emperor. Today seems to be the day of offering pills. King Shou entered the palace with him. Most likely it's also for entering Dan."

"Changsheng Pill?" She had never heard of this elixir, and Cheng Yujin asked, "Where did the elixir come from, and have you offered it before?"

The eunuch shook his head: "No. This is the fairy magic that Chongxu Sanren was instructed by the immortals in his dream recently. Today is the first time that the Sanren has presented pills to His Majesty."

Cheng Yujin sat for a while, then suddenly stood up: "Not good!"

The people serving around were taken aback: "Prince Concubine, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yujin didn't have any thoughts to explain to the servants. She hurriedly ran out with her skirt on, and shouted loudly, "Prepare the sedan chair and go to the Qianqing Palace."

Cheng Yujin's heartbeat was extremely intense, if she guessed correctly...the emperor should be dead by now.

Alchemy has always been a matter of luck. The Taoist threw a bunch of materials into the alchemy furnace that he did not know what it was, and who could guarantee what would be produced. However, there are countless kings who dared to offer and eat, and died because of erysipelas in history. Most of them are chronic poisoning, so the alchemist is safe and sound, but the emperor ate this today, it is not guaranteed that he will die immediately.

That's why Li Chengjing was called to the Qianqing Palace, not the smoky Yinghua Palace. If Cheng Yujin guessed correctly, King Shou and Chongxu Sanren poisoned the emperor. They were afraid of being held accountable, so they sent the emperor to the Qianqing Palace and called Li Chengjing to see him under the guise of the emperor. Li Chengjing was called to the Qianqing Palace unprepared. If he was immediately caught up in the death of the emperor, and Li Chengjing was at the scene, wouldn't he be speechless?

Cheng Yujin couldn't even think about it. She was sitting in the sedan chair, her hands shaking so nervously. The sedan chair walked faster than herself, Li Chengjing didn't leave for a long time, she might still be in time.

At this moment, Li Chengjing has entered the Palace of Heavenly Purity.

The Qianqing Palace was quiet at the moment. The grand and solemn imperial palace in the past was surprisingly quiet at this time, as if it was deliberately suppressing something.

Since the emperor's personal discipleship, the people around him have been replaced by Taoist priests, and the former eunuch-in-waiting was also stopped by the Chongxu Sanren on the grounds that he was not allowed to go in and disturb the emperor's cultivation. The emperor spent most of his time under the eyes of the Chongxu Sanren. The emperor and the courtier of the dynasty, the eunuchs of the Qianqing Palace who used to be unparalleled, also lost their power, and hurriedly fawned on the vain people.

It's not a day or two to rush the emptiness, the scattered people, the foxes and the tigers, and call the wind and rain. At this moment, the Qianqing Palace felt a little desolate.

Li Chengjing still climbed up the stairs steadily, the eunuch guarding the palace gate saw it, and quickly opened the palace gate for Li Chengjing: "His Royal Highness, Long Live is already waiting inside, you just go in."

Li Chengjing smiled at the eunuch and said, "It's work."

Li Chengjing lifted his robe and stepped into the high threshold. The eunuch guarding the door quietly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could restrain the expression on his face, the prince suddenly stopped and turned to ask him, "Why is the palace so quiet?"

The eunuch guarding the gate did not expect the prince to turn around suddenly, and his heart almost jumped out of fear. He tried his best to suppress his face, bowed his head and said, "After Wanzai announced His Highness, I suddenly felt sleepy, so I went to the West Hall to rest for a while. Wanzai said that there is no need to report outside when the prince comes, just go to Xi Nei to see Wanzai."

"So that's the case." Li Chengjing looked at the eunuch guarding the gate with a faint smile. The eunuch guarding the gate almost thought that the prince found something, but the next moment, the prince walked to the west hall with no hesitation.

After the eunuch who guarded the gate could not see the prince's back, he finally dared to let out the remaining half of his breath. Fortunately, it was just a false alarm, and the prince did not find out.
