Chapter 170 Cannibal Monster

Before Xie Ruitang finished his cup of tea in Qinghe Palace, Xie Ruibin and Concubine Yuan arrived at Qinghe Palace together.

"Isn't Concubine Yuan ill? Really, Sixth Brother, why did I alert you too?" Xie Ruitang quickly stood up and gave up his seat.Concubine Yuan and Concubine Ji were close friends, and Xie Ruitang respected her more than the queen.

Concubine Yuan held Concubine Ji's hand, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "My illness was all caused by that person's anger. As soon as Bin'er said what her true face was, I guessed that you could make her suffer! With this Good news, my illness is not completely cured yet?"

Concubine Ji didn't know what was going on and looked at her son with confusion.Xie Ruitang took out the elixir recipe from his arms and handed it to them: "This is the elixir recipe that the Taoist priest made for Concubine Ji. I have this person under control, and I will go in and talk to him when the elixir is delivered today. Ji’s confrontation.”

The faces of the three people changed as soon as they saw the medicine. Concubine Ji chanted Buddha's name repeatedly: "Amitabha, Amitabha! Tiger poison does not eat its own kind, is Ji's still a human being? The next four people can still find it directly. The baby girl in her belly is still alive. I don’t know how many stomachs to open, it’s really a sin!”

"She is really a temptress! The emperor is now like this because he was deceived by her! Come on, Prince, I will go with you and tear off her skin to see if it is completely black inside!" Concubine Yuan said As he spoke, his eyes turned red.No matter how much the emperor dislikes her, there is only one emperor in her heart.

Xie Ruitang supported Concubine Ji's shoulders, and said to them: "You are waiting for me to come back in the palace. If you go, wouldn't it be embarrassing for my father to beat each other face to face? And I guess my father has eaten this kind of food too. Pills, no matter what, I have to save some face for my father."

Concubine Ji and Concubine Yuan looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces changed: They had never thought of this just now. Yes, if the temptress had allowed the emperor to take this elixir, the emperor would be so angry that he would probably turn his anger on the prince. , it is also possible to kill him and silence him.

However, if he informed the emperor quietly, he was afraid that Ji would make up excuses to fool the emperor, and most importantly, the Taoist priest would probably retort.well!What a dilemma.

Just listen to Xie Ruibin say: "Third brother, I'll go with you! I don't believe that my father would kill two sons at once. Between the two of us, I can be a bad person and you can be a good person, so that my father can One step down.”

After hearing the first one, Concubine Yuan clapped her hands and applauded: "Yes! You go together, son, and you scold that temptress for me!" Xie Ruitan knew that their mother and son were sincerely helping her, and she secretly made up her mind that no matter what happened, Even if I risk myself, I still have to keep my sixth brother safe.

The two brothers were discussing, Chang Le came in quietly and said, "Your Highness, Taoist Zixu has entered the palace."

Xie Ruibin quickly called a tall chamberlain in and told him: "Ah Rong, go help Chang Le, don't let the Taoist priest run away!"

This Ah Rong also has an older brother named Ah Mao. The two brothers were orphans. The Yuan Mansion adopted them since they were young and allowed them to practice martial arts.Unexpectedly, the two brothers were extremely talented in martial arts and came out on top among the guards of the Yuan Mansion.At that time, Xie Ruibing was weak, so the Yuan Mansion sent Ah Rong to the palace as a chamberlain to protect the sixth prince, while Ah Mao served as the chief guard in the Yuan Mansion.

Ah Rong nodded and followed Chang Le out.Brothers Xie Ruitang and Xie Ruibin also hurried to Wuying Hall.Wuying Hall is filled with smoke, as if you have arrived at a Taoist temple.

Outside the palace, the chamberlain Qiu Ning stopped them: "Your Royal Highness, Your Highness Prince Cheng, your Majesty and your concubine are practicing Taoism. You two are not allowed to enter unless summoned to disturb them."

When King Cheng was about to get angry, the prince stopped him and said to Qiu Ning with a smile: "Master Qiu, my two brothers have found an elixir of immortality and want to present it to their father in person. Please go in and spread the word."

Just as Qiu Ning was about to prevaricate, he saw the old Taoist coming over with a tray, followed by two chamberlains.Qiu Ning was just about to let the Taoist in, but then he heard the prince say: "It just so happens that the Taoist is here. You might as well let the Taoist test the elixir in person. If my father likes it, this prescription will be your blessing."

Before the words were finished, the prince and King Cheng pushed Qiu Ning away and strode into the Hall of Martial Arts.Qiu Ning was about to stop him, when he saw the emperor from a distance, the crown prince said loudly: "I see my father!"

The emperor was wearing a Taoist robe and a square hat. He was really no different from a Taoist priest.The concubine Ji next to her was also dressed as a Taoist nun with a plain head and a plain face. She was a plain girl, so she put a lot of powder on her face. From a distance, she could smell the scent of incense mixed with the fragrance of flowers.

When the emperor saw his two sons coming in with Taoist Master Zixu, he smiled and nodded: "What a coincidence, you guys came together." Cao Baoli and Rong Cheng, who were standing next to the emperor, both glared at Qiu Ning.It was this boy who failed to stop Concubine Ji last time and allowed the woman to rush in. After arguing with the emperor for a long time, the emperor actually allowed her to come and practice Taoism with him every day!Fortunately, Concubine Ji has no backer. She can't be a monster under her nose. She is just trying to protect herself, so Cao Baoli can forget about it.

Now Qiu Ning let the crown prince and Prince Cheng in again.Cao Baoli thought dullly: Could it be that I fell in love with him because he was stupid?

"See you, Father!" The two of them walked up to the emperor and saluted.

The prince did not mince words and said directly: "Father, I recently heard someone passing on a recipe for elixir. The method is so cruel that it is unheard of. I have copied it here for my father to review."

Cao Baoli reached out to take it, but without thinking, the prince passed him and handed it directly to the emperor.The emperor didn't care. After reading two lines of words, his face changed color.

King Cheng continued sincerely: "It is said among the people that the demon who took this elixir is hiding in the palace. If this demon is not punished, the people will be uneasy, Father!"

Concubine Ji, who was sitting silently next to her, suddenly felt that something was wrong. She stared at the elixir prescription warily, wanting to grab it and tear it up.

"Taoist Priest, it's up to you to speak!" The prince glanced at Concubine Ji and said coldly.

King Cheng kicked the old Taoist's leg, and the old Taoist who was standing next to him knelt down with a "pop".Seeing Concubine Ji's glare, the old Taoist felt miserable: he was caught by the prince and had to reveal the recipe. He thought that if he met the emperor and the concubine denied it, the concubine would definitely protect him.

Unexpectedly, before entering the palace today, a guard hurriedly brought a piece of poison and asked him to take it in front of him. He said that if he told the truth in front of the emperor, he would have the antidote. Otherwise, today next year, it would be his. death anniversary
The old Taoist gingerly raised the tray above his head and cried: "Your Majesty, the Concubine Ji took the pain-retention pill, which is this medicine! The medicine is derived from the heart-blood of the five girls. One time of taking the blood can be used to refine ten pills..."

The emperor staggered and almost fell backward. Cao Baoli and Rong Cheng quickly supported him.The emperor glanced at the prescription again and couldn't help but retched while supporting Cao Baoli.With a trembling hand, he pointed at Concubine Ji and said, "You, what you asked me to eat, was this Beauty Pill? You monster! You tricked me into eating human blood!"

When the emperor said this, Cao Baoli and the others, who were full of doubts just now, all understood what was going on.

Rong Cheng gloated and said, "Concubine Ji, you said you were devoted to the Tao, so His Majesty agreed to let you enter this sacred place. Unexpectedly, you came here to act as a monster and harm His Majesty!"

Rongcheng's words reminded the emperor. When he saw that his two sons were still waiting for him to speak, he hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! Prince Cheng, Prince Cheng, you should drag her out and kill her out of anger. Don't let her get dirty." After leaving this pure place of cultivation, I don't want to see her again!"

Concubine Ji's face was as white as a piece of paper. She sat on the ground in despair. She suddenly aged several dozen years and became a dying old man.When the emperor saw it, his face changed color with fear, as if he had seen a real monster.

Concubine Ji didn't want to say anything.In the past, this man who would hide in her arms whenever he was helpless, now looked at her like a monster, which made Concubine Ji feel a little funny.Anyway, she was carrying a life on her back, so what did it matter if she ate a few more people?Anyway, her whole family is dead, so what's the point of taking her life?
King Cheng called Ah Rong and Chang Le from outside the palace, and dragged Concubine Ji and Lao Dao out together.

Soon, the entire harem knew the news.Everyone was horrified, and it was passed around, and eventually, it turned out that Concubine Ji was a cannibal.

Concubine Ji recited the Buddha's name twice more and said to Concubine Yuan, "The palace is finally clean."

Concubine Yuan sneered and said: "If we drag away the eunuchs around the emperor, this palace will be really clean!"
