Chapter 34: Chaos Begins

Just like that, Gu West Wind and Monkey officially joined the Seven Kills Camp and continued to cultivate with Huang Xin. The difference was that Master had changed from Huang Xin to twenty-nine people. Twenty-eight constellations also participated in the cultivation of the two..

After entering the Seven Kills Camp, the training was even more rigorous. In addition to martial arts training, one also had to learn more systematic movement techniques, concealment, assassination, and all kinds of hidden methods..

In this process, the pain of flesh and blood is also a common occurrence, Gu West Wind two people were tortured to death, strength also increased day by day.

painful and happy.

Half a year after Gu Xifeng and his wife entered Seven Kills Camp,.

Inside the Imperial Palace of Taichu Dynasty, the atmosphere was tense and oppressive. The palace maids and eunuchs were more cautious than usual, afraid of making mistakes..

The only man in the Central Plains who dared to call himself emperor was currently lying on the dragon bed in his bedroom. His body was extremely weak, and every attendant around him was cautious and serious. He waited on his left and right carefully. If he was not careful, he would be killed..

More than a dozen imperial physicians were sweating and discussing the treatment plan in fear..

Several imperial concubines were standing on both sides, their expressions were very complicated, full of anxiety, fear, sadness and other emotions, but they dared not show them..

The two princes waited outside the palace. Second Prince Li Zhongkun paced anxiously, his expression full of worry..

First Prince Li Boqian was more composed and stood at the door expressionlessly waiting..

Taichu Emperor Li Jianshen was over half a century old, but he was not in a hurry to establish a crown prince. The position of crown prince was always empty..

Li Jianshen succeeded to the throne at the age of 20. He had no major mistakes in his life, but he was not very wise. During his reign, it was very common to sell officials, fish and people, and disregard human lives in Taichu territory. The court was polluted and the people suffered..

Fortunately, the neighboring countries are relatively stable and protected by the Galaxy Sect. In recent years, there has been no major war. Although the lives of the common people are difficult, they are free from the disturbance of war..

Chief Imperial Physician Sun Peizhi hurried out of the palace. He sighed and said to the two princes,"His Majesty is seriously ill this time. We can't save him even if we try our best. I'm afraid…".

First Prince Li Boqian raised his arm to stop Second Prince.

"Second brother, how dare you barge into the palace without Father summoning you! You better stay outside obediently. If Father wants to see you, I will definitely summon you..

Li Boqian frowned and looked at the Second Prince with displeasure..

" But, Imperial Brother!" Li Zhongkun wanted to say something, but when he saw Li Boqian's angry eyes, he waved his sleeves and walked back..

He didn't see Li Boqian giving Sun Peizhi a meaningful look. Sun Peizhi returned to his bedroom with a solemn expression as if he had received a mission..

" The Imperial Advisor has arrived!" The eunuch outside the courtyard shouted loudly..

An amiable old man wearing a white starry robe entered the courtyard, and the two princes immediately stepped forward respectfully..

"Greetings, Imperial Advisor..

The two of them were almost in unison, and the old man waved his hand slightly and said,"Don't be too polite.".

The person who came was the current leader of Galaxy Sect, Chen Yaoguang. Galaxy Sect was now the Grand Protector of Taichu Dynasty. Several leaders had been appointed as Imperial Preceptor by Taichu Emperor. Because Taichu had not yet established a crown prince, the status of Imperial Preceptor was still above that of a prince, only inferior to the emperor himself..

" How is Your Majesty?" Chen Yaoguang was also anxious..

"Father's illness is very serious this time, and the imperial doctors are somewhat helpless..

The eldest prince's face was sad, his sleeves gently brushing his eyes..

" Why is Your Majesty's illness so sudden? It's only been a few days…" Before Chen Yaoguang could finish speaking, the bedroom was in chaos..

" Oh no, His Majesty is dead!" A mournful eunuch's cry came from the bedroom. The bedroom was already crying. Concubines, maids, and eunuchs were all prostrate on the ground, crying desperately..

Three people rushed into the bedroom.

:.

Taichu Emperor Li Jianshen, who had been lying weakly on the dragon couch, had a pale face. His cheeks were sunken and his eyes were wide open. He stared ahead blankly and was no longer breathing..

When the two princes saw this scene, they immediately fell on the corpse and cried loudly..

Chen Yaoguang frowned as she looked at the corpse, deep in thought..

"Two Princes, please excuse me. There is something fishy about this matter. Let me take a look at Your Majesty..

The two princes cried and retreated, making room for the national teacher..

Chen Yaoguang stretched out a hand, and a gentle inner force wrapped around her palm, sweeping across Li Jianshen's head, chest, and abdomen..

Chen Yaoguang frowned even more and turned to look at the two princes..

" Your Majesty didn't die of illness, but of poisoning! And it wasn't a poison, it was a chronic poison. It wasn't supposed to kill you. Just now, Your Majesty took a poison called Instant. This is the real cause of death for Your Majesty.".

When the First Prince heard this, he suddenly flew into a rage. He looked like he was crazy. He pointed at the people present and said angrily,"Speak! What did you give Father to eat?" The imperial physician fell to his knees and all of them went limp. Sun Peizhi's voice trembled as he said,"Your Majesty just drank a bowl of medicinal soup that we prepared.".

"Take down all those who have come into contact with this medicine, from medicinal herbs to boiling medicine to feeding medicine. Torture them and find out the truth!" All those who were present and related to the medicinal soup were taken away. None of those who had come into contact with the medicinal herbs survived. These people would probably end up in a very miserable situation..

Finding out the truth is important, and the emperor's funeral cannot be delayed. The ceremonial officials rushed to the scene and began to prepare for His Majesty's state funeral in an orderly manner..

At this time, besides the funeral, the most important question was placed before Taichu Dynasty. Who would inherit the throne?.

I don't know if it's because the sun in Taichu is full of yin and decline. The Empress Dowager and Empress died one after another. The emperor has not re-named the Empress among his concubines. At this time, there is no one in charge in Taichu..

Chen Yaoguang, as the Imperial Advisor of Taichu, was not allowed to participate in the family affairs of the emperor, so she was arranged to rest in a side hall..

At this time, the inside and outside of the imperial palace have been dressed in mourning, the emperor's body in the bedroom has begun to clean the body small coffin, stuffed into the nine holes jade, the emperor's golden nanmu coffin has been made by skilled craftsmen before Li Jianshen died, at this time stay in the funeral palace.

The chief has deduced the auspicious day for burial, which will be announced to the world after dawn tomorrow..

Although the Taichu Emperor's funeral ritual system was less than one-tenth of that of his heyday, it was still extremely complicated and everything was carried out in an orderly manner..

The two princes, already dressed in sackcloth, stood outside the palace.

"Brother, who killed Father? I wish I could eat his flesh and drink his blood..

The second prince Li Zhongkun clenched his fist and said fiercely.

"We're still investigating. Fortunately, Imperial Advisor saw that Father was poisoned, so we could report it in time. Otherwise, with the medical skills of these quacks, we would have really thought that Father died of illness. Second Brother, a country cannot be without a monarch for a day. We brothers don't hide anything. What do you think?" First Prince Li Boqian asked sincerely..

"Imperial Brother, you are the eldest son, so of course you will inherit the throne. I will be an idle prince. If Imperial Brother thinks highly of me, give me an official position. I will do my best to assist Imperial Brother. Everything will be arranged by Imperial Brother..

Li Zhongkun looked very honest and said his thoughts..

Li Boqian patted Li Zhongkun's shoulder heavily with both hands and said loudly," My good brother, there are only two of us left now. If you and I work together, we will definitely live up to our ancestors 'legacy!".

Everything seems to be in perfect harmony..
