Chapter 106: Chapter 106 Recommendation

Emperor Yuan Jing woke up from his sleep. The empty hall was silent. The eunuch who accompanied him was sleeping on the small table.

There were no concubines or maids in the bedroom. Emperor Yuan Jing had been abstinent for more than 20 years. The bedroom of the emperor had become a forbidden place for the concubines in the palace.

The concubines' feelings about Emperor Yuan Jing's practice of Taoism can be summarized in

one sentence:

Scholars study hard under the lamp - their livers explode (Bao Gan)!

Naturally, there were complaints, but Emperor Yuan Jing never paid attention to the opinions of the concubines. As an emperor with many children, concubines had long been dispensable. If he had practiced Taoism 20 years earlier, the ministers would have died for his advice. "Your Majesty is awake?" The eunuch slept lightly and woke up immediately, rushing to the dragon couch.

"What time is it?" Emperor Yuan Jing pinched his eyebrows.

"One quarter of the Yin hour." The eunuch said, turning around and picking up the teapot on the small stove, and poured a cup of warm water for Emperor Yuan Jing.

After serving the emperor for so many years, there are some trivial matters that do not need to be asked.

Emperor Yuan Jing drank the tea and slowly exhaled: "After the ancestral worship ceremony, I was restless and went to Lingbao Temple. I want to follow the national teacher to practice Taoism and calm my mind."

The master and servant just walked outside the bedroom, and suddenly heard a loud bell sound spreading through the night sky and every corner of the palace.

The palace entered a state of preparation for war.

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and saw a team of imperial guards running wildly, with a panic expression.

The leader of the imperial guards shouted: "Your Majesty, there was an explosion in Sangpo, the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple was destroyed, and the three hundred imperial guards on duty died, and no one survived."

Emperor Yuan Jing was stunned.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Notify Wei Yuan and bring people to the palace immediately; notify the national teacher to come here to see me; notify the supervisor... and tell him that the Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple has been destroyed."

....

That night, the sorcerer of the Sitianjian woke up for no reason, panicking as if the world was about to end.

....

The first to arrive was the female national teacher, who came flying in the air on a seven-star sword.

Wearing a lotus crown on her head and a Tai Chi Taoist robe, with wide sleeves fluttering, a fairy-like aura came to her face.

She was a woman whose age could not be seen, with a beautiful face and a noble temperament. She had the fair skin of a young woman, the charm of a mature woman, and the elegance of a person who was out of the world.

Her beauty was like a thousand mountains and a thousand layers of snow, which was out of reach.

"National Master..." Emperor Yuan Jing opened his mouth and sighed, "The things under Sangpo have come out."

The female national master nodded slightly, and her voice was ethereal and crisp: "I already know."

Wei Yuan arrived later, bringing two golden gongs on duty at the night watchman's office, as well as two adopted sons, a total of four high-quality warriors.

In addition to the masters in the palace, a group of warriors with monstrous fighting power and the leaders of the human sect surrounded Emperor Yuan Jing and rushed to Sangpo.

More than a thousand imperial guards gathered on the shore of Sangpo, holding torches, and the high-quality warriors serving in the army gathered and waited for Emperor Yuan Jing. The Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple no longer exists, the high platform is half collapsed, and broken wooden beams are floating on the water.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yuan Jing's eyebrows jumped fiercely and shouted: "Where is the magic sword."

A leader of the imperial guards clasped his fists and said: "People have been sent to retrieve

it."

Emperor Yuan Jing took a deep breath, walked to the shore, stretched out his hand, and bent his five fingers.

A clear yellow light lit up from the bottom of the water, and a three-foot-long copper sword broke through the water and flew into the hands of Emperor Yuan Jing.

After a careful inspection, Emperor Yuan Jing breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the magic sword was intact.

Stepping on the Seven-Star Sword and holding Fu Chen's arm, the peerless master flew over Sangpo and froze in mid-air, saying:

"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual in Sangpo."

Nothing unusual... Emperor Yuan Jing's eyes darkened a little.

Wei Yuan turned around and asked the generals of the Imperial Guards: "Where are the bodies of the dead and wounded soldiers?"

More than a dozen bodies were carried up, and their deaths were exactly the same, with dried flesh and blood, like mummies that had been weathered for decades.

"The rest of the soldiers died in the same way as them." After a general reported, he looked at Emperor Yuan Jing cautiously: "Your Majesty... We did not notice any strong enemy

invasion..."

The leaders of the imperial guards knew that the real reason for this change might be related to the accident at the ancestral worship ceremony the day before.

They also had a more frightening guess. The reason why the Mulberry Lake exploded and the patrol soldiers died suddenly was probably not because of the invasion of a strong enemy, but because there was some secret hidden in the Mulberry Lake.

Although the generals had guesses in their hearts, as subjects, they knew what to say and what not to say.

Emperor Yuan Jing looked at the corpse sharply, turned his head, and stared at Wei Yuan's face: "Wei Yuan, come with me to the imperial study."

.....

The curtains of the brocade bed were low, and sandalwood was burning in the bedroom.

The princess was awakened by the bell. The moment she opened her eyes, she did not put on her clothes, but drew out the long sword hanging on the bedside. In the sonorous sound, she rushed into the hall in her white inner garment, which outlined her exquisite and protruding

figure.

The tall and cold beauty, holding a long sword with a cold glow, had her black hair scattered like a waterfall, slightly lazy and messy.

The white close-fitting inner garment outlined her well-proportioned figure. She was not the kind of weak woman, but exuded the sexiness of a gym beauty. If Xu Qian'an were here, he would sigh: This woman is a perfect match for me.

"Your Highness..."

The maid in the side hall was also awakened, ran over in a panic, and grabbed the princess's

palace clothes.

"Change into tight clothes." The princess's beautiful eyebrows revealed majesty. Changing into light and figure-flattering clothes, with a crossbow on her left waist and a musket on her right waist, and holding a long sword in her hand, the princess led the guards and rushed to the bedroom of Emperor Yuan Jing.

The princess was stopped by the imperial guards who were guarding the emperor's bedroom. The more it was at this time, the more the princes and princesses could not get close to the

emperor.

Who knows if a certain prince was plotting to force the emperor to abdicate.

The princess did not force her way in. She glanced at the imperial guards and saw several familiar figures, night watchmen and high-ranking warriors in various armies. What happened... If it wasn't for a strong enemy, the imperial guards in the palace would

never ring the bell to warn... But if it was an invasion by a strong enemy, the scene seemed too quiet, and the people from the Imperial Observatory didn't come...

The princess held the sword and thought carefully.

At this time, the crown prince of the East Palace and several princes and princesses also came

with people.

"Huaiqing!" The crown prince was dressed in military uniform and looked serious.

"The situation is unknown for now." The eldest princess said concisely.

The second princess with charming peach blossom eyes saw that the eldest princess was

dressed in tight clothes, and her eyebrows were less cold and more fierce, as if she would hit someone if she disagreed with someone. She opened her cherry mouth and finally chose to

remain silent.

There was something important today, so I was too lazy to argue with Huaiqing.

A quarter of an hour later, the door of the imperial study opened and the eunuch in blue came

out.

"Duke Wei..." The eldest princess had the closest relationship with Wei Yuan, and could barely be considered half of Wei Yuan's disciple.

Wei Yuan sighed, "The Yongzhen Mountain and River Temple collapsed. It was done by thieves, but they have long disappeared."

The princes and princesses exclaimed. The Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace narrowed his

eyes, suppressed his inner emotions, and stepped forward: "Is it related to the ancestral worship ceremony that day?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and glanced at the Princess: "Your Majesty ordered me to replace out the truth and catch the murderer within half a month. I will tell Your Majesty frankly that this

case is not easy to handle..."

He shook his head and left.

The Princess' eyes flickered.

The door of the Imperial Study opened again, and the eunuch wearing a black gauze hat and a camel-colored dragon robe came out.

"Your Highnesses, His Majesty invites you."

Led by the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, the eight princes and princesses who came to check the situation entered the Imperial Study together.

The emperor's desk was placed in the front hall, empty. The eunuch led them into the inner

hall, where the curtains were hanging low. Emperor Yuan Jing was sitting cross-legged on a cushion, and opposite him sat a beautiful female imperial master.

The two were not far from each other, keeping a distance between Taoist friends discussing

Taoism.

Over the years, Emperor Yuan Jing followed this female imperial master to practice Taoism, and the effect was very good. At the beginning, Emperor Yuan Jing was burdened by government affairs, and his hair turned gray early. In his early thirties, his temples were

already white.

With the twenty years of practice of this Taoist master, his hair turned black, and his blood and health improved.

The prince secretly wanted to curse her with a figurine.

The other princes' impressions of this Taoist nun were half admiration and greed, and half

awe and disgust.

"Imperial Master, I am still uneasy." Emperor Yuan Jing broke free from his meditation, opened his eyes, and sighed.

"Your Majesty has a heart disease, and you need a heart medicine to cure it." The female

imperial master spoke, her voice carrying the sweetness and texture of a mature woman.

"I do have a heart disease..." Emperor Yuan Jing stared at the beautiful face of the Taoist nun

and smiled, "I have been waiting for the imperial master to practice dual cultivation with

me."

Hearing this, the faces of the princes and princesses suddenly became strange.

Only the eldest princess and the crown prince remained calm, and their minds were very deep.

Ten years ago, Emperor Yuan Jing proposed to practice dual cultivation with the imperial master, but the imperial master did not agree. Emperor Yuan Jing issued an edict to make her

a fairy concubine.

The imperial master still did not agree, and Emperor Yuan Jing still relied on her to practice immortality, so he had to give up.

Outsiders only thought that Emperor Yuan Jing was greedy for the imperial master's talent

and beauty. Perhaps there was a reason for this, but it was definitely not the main factor. The princes and princesses knew their father best.

There were three thousand beauties in the harem, what kind of woman could not be obtained?

The princess who was praised as the most beautiful woman in the capital was a member of the

palace. But Emperor Yuan Jing, who was already abstinent at that time, did not touch her at

all.

What my father dreamed of was immortality.

Emperor Yuan Jing did not care about not getting a satisfactory answer. He opened the curtain

and led a group of children to the front hall. He sat high at the desk and said, "Don't worry,

everything is fine."

As the eldest son and the leader of the princes and princesses, the prince bowed and said, "Father, is it related to the abnormality of the ancestral worship ceremony?"

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned and was unwilling to explain.

The prince gave the second princess a subtle wink. Princess Lin'an, who was wearing gorgeous

palace clothes and charming appearance, smiled, took the teacup from the eunuch, twisted her waist and came to Emperor Yuan Jing, and said coquettishly:

"Father, Sangpo is a forbidden place for our royal family. What kind of thief can sneak into Sangpo and destroy the temple of Emperor Taizu? Can he sneak into Lin'an's mansion?" On her charming and beautiful face, she frowned and looked pitiful and scared. The second princess was the most favored because she knew how to act coquettishly and how

to please Emperor Yuan Jing.

Emperor Yuan Jing was a strong and controlling person. He might not like the talented but domineering eldest princess, but he definitely liked the weak and harmless second princess who relied on himself and acted coquettishly.

The emperor, who had black hair and looked like he was in his prime, patted the second

princess's hand and comforted her, "Nonsense, the palace is a forbidden place, how can thieves come and go as they please."

The crown prince started the fight, the second princess assisted, and the eldest princess

stepped out and saluted, "I just met Duke Wei at the door. He expressed his difficulties to me

in a subtle way. I guess he wanted me to help him plead for a few more days."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yuan Jing snorted.

The eldest princess continued, "Father, I happen to know a master of solving cases. If he can

participate in this case, he will definitely be able to get to the bottom of it within half a month."
