The Queen's Guide to Wealth

Chapter 21 Lead the way
The sky is getting brighter, and the insects are quiet. As the sun leaps out, the temperature begins to warm up.

Jin Bo rubbed his stiff hands and feet, stood up and punched to stretch his muscles and bones.

The cubs in the corner huddled together, sleeping soundly, thanks to the thick clothes she picked up yesterday, they couldn't wear them, and they were perfect as a quilt to keep out the cold.

Nod the head, no more, no less, the condition of the two injuries is also very stable.

Only Xie Qiming still had a high fever, twitching from time to time, and talking nonsense.

Jin Bo tore off a cloth towel to cool him down, and as soon as he touched his forehead, the system popped up a reminder.

"Hyperthermia, risk of organ failure, encephalitis."

The treatment methods are listed below, as well as the herbs that Jinbo can find around.

Jin Bo hesitated, this person is a trouble, whether to save or not.

On the emotional side, this person is Jinbo's uncle, and there is an inseparable blood connection no matter what.

On the rational side, this person is the key person who coerced and kidnapped Jinbo for rebellion. If I rescued him, I would only get more involved with them and cause trouble.

Jin Bo is a person who is afraid of trouble, and likes to make quick decisions when doing things, hesitation is not in her character.

These thoughts were only in her mind for a moment, and in the end she couldn't leave Xie Qiming waiting to die here, so she got up and went outside to look for herbs.

After leaving the broken hall, it was foggy outside, the heavy rain yesterday made the air very humid, and the cold feeling pierced the bones.

Jin Bo shuddered, wrapped his coarse clothes tightly around his body, and groped around the ruined hall.

After a night of gnawing by the worms, the originally barren imperial city will look even more dilapidated. Under the pressure of the towering altars all around, it makes people feel that the imperial city is crumbling, as if the breathing is heavier. It will collapse immediately.

The four gates of the imperial city were crowded with people, all of them were officials and gentry who were "invited" by the eldest prince Jin Xiao a few days ago to watch the emperor's funeral.

The originally glamorous characters are now disgraced and haggard.

The gates of the city were not open, so they could not go out, but they also worried about whether the fire that burned the city would burn their relatives, friends and property.

It's hard to hide the urgency, but they don't know that this imperial city is the safe place, and the capital of Dayou has long been a purgatory on earth.

These people originally had great energy, if united as one, it would be enough to affect the rise and fall of Dayou.

But they have lived the days of abundance and comfort for a long time, and they only want to be comfortable, and they have long forgotten that a beautiful and rich life requires management and struggle.

After being at ease for a long time, the greed and desire in human nature have also corroded some beautiful characters.

So when disaster strikes and the climate changes suddenly, they are afraid and start shrinking their heads.

Push all the blame on a child to shirk his responsibility and cover up his incompetence.

It made a thriving dynasty collapse and crumble in just eight years.

But the people standing on this pile of ruins, without knowing it, set fire to the city, killed the king and seized the throne, thinking that they were trying to set things right.

But they don't know that this way can only make it collapse faster, and also bury themselves in the ruins.

Some people may have seen through all this, but very few are willing to stand up and correct it.

Xie Xian is such a person, but he also has selfish intentions to help Jinbo to the top, and the development of the matter is beyond everyone's expectations.

In the hall where the coffins were kept, only the emperor's coffin stood there alone.

The hall was full of smog, incense candles and paper money for sacrificial offerings were scattered all over the place, and from time to time, furtive court ladies and eunuchs picked up gold and silver utensils from the ground and hid them in their bosoms.

There were also those who fought for the objects, and the people lying on the ground with blood on their faces did not know whether they were dead or alive.

Suddenly, a few guards with weapons broke into the hall, and the frightened ladies and eunuchs knelt down and begged for mercy, thinking they were here to hack and kill them, they dared not breathe.

The guards didn't even look at them, and walked straight towards the emperor's coffin.

Without further ado, he lifted the lid of the coffin. Although the corpse in the coffin had been embalmed, it could be seen that it was very rough, and a stench spread.

Those who were close couldn't help retching twice, and the kneeling court ladies and eunuchs knelt on their own knees, not daring to move.

I don't know if they were frightened or frightened, but it was the emperor's coffin. Are these people crazy, and dare to desecrate the emperor's body?

The guards held their breath and reached out to dig into the coffin.

He fished out all the gold, silver and jade objects, jewelry and jewelry placed around the corpse, even the soul-repelling beads stuffed in the mouth of the corpse.

A younger soldier said: "Brother, it's unfortunate to take this one. Be careful that his ghost haunts us."

But he saw the man holding a pearl the size of an egg in his hand and looking at the light.

"What are you afraid of him doing, look at him like this, he has been hollowed out long ago, our brothers have been protecting him in this imperial city, and we won't be able to pay him for three to five years.

I heard that the elixirs he took every day, in exchange for silver, could feed a village for more than a year.

We only took some to be buried with him, and it was considered as payment for these years.

Besides, it wasn't us who killed him, and we can't find revenge on us, so don't be afraid of him. "

As soon as the words fell, the corpse suddenly shriveled, the originally bulging abdomen collapsed quickly, and a puff of gray-black and foul-smelling smoke spewed out from the mouth.

They were so frightened that they ran away, hiding behind the pillars and watching the coffin.

Seeing that the smoke had dissipated and there was no abnormality, he boldly stepped forward to search again.

The kneeling court ladies and eunuchs were relieved to see that these people were not coming for them.

There is also someone who pointed out, "A strong man, there are jade pillows under the head of the corpse, gold bricks under the feet, and gold, silver and jade articles under the body, all of which are valuable treasures."

The man looked for his reputation, and saw that the person speaking was a white-faced eunuch with delicate skin and tender flesh. Although he didn't like these intersex people who were neither male nor female, he still gave some advice.

Reaching out without hitting the smiling face, he hummed: "You are so cute, come and help me, and I will share some benefits with you later."

The eunuch smiled happily, got up and walked forward quickly nodding and bowing, showing his ability to flatter and flatter.

"Don't dare to take advantage of the strong man, just ask the strong man for mercy, and spare the slave's dog's life."

He kept his hands and mouth, talking about all kinds of high hats and rainbow farts in turn, boasting that a few men who can only kill are the only ones in the world, and there is no such thing in the sky.

Although everyone knew that it was sycophancy and not sincerity, but they were still flattered and elated.

The originally eerie atmosphere became much more harmonious, so that the corpses turned back and forth by them didn't look so scary anymore.

Seeing that the atmosphere was in place, the eunuch asked in a low voice: "When the strong man leaves, may he take his slave with him?"

Hearing this, the man stopped his movements: "You want to go out, and we also want to. The four gates of the imperial city are guarded by the eldest prince's party, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. We can only wait for a few days."

The eunuch was overjoyed when he heard the words, and smiled all over his face: "I know a small way out of the palace. If all the strong men are in a hurry to leave the palace, I am willing to lead the way."
