The Proof of the Heavens Begins with The Legend of the Condor Heroes

Chapter 107 An Assassination
What does death feel like?
Fang Hao now generally feels loneliness, darkness, and decadence. He is like a drowning person who can only watch himself as his consciousness fades away bit by bit and he slides step by step into the abyss.

This was the second time Fang Hao activated his ability of "time travel". Compared with the last time when he traveled through time and space in confusion, he was not awakened until he was on the fleeing carriage and awakened his ego consciousness.

This time when Fang Hao traveled through time, he was already a martial arts grandmaster, a person who had reached the end of martial arts in the low-level martial arts world.

My body, will, and spirit are much stronger than the first time I traveled through time.

Therefore, Fang Hao witnessed very clearly that his indestructible body was instantly turned into dust by the turbulence of time and space when he broke through the boundary.

The pain that penetrated deep into his soul, although only lasted for a moment, made it almost impossible for Fang Hao to control himself.

Then, Fang Hao realized that his soul was put into a new body. An indescribable warmth melted Fang Hao's adult spiritual consciousness.

Fang Hao knew that this was an instinctive protection of the fetus by the mother. Otherwise, Fang Hao's spiritual power at the grandmaster level would be enough to burst the brain of this young embryo.

This is the "mystery in the womb" that great practitioners who reincarnate must experience.

According to the mysterious information conveyed by the Universal Divine Dice, the so-called "time and space travel" is not about random objects, but "others" in another world.

Therefore, Fang Hao does not have to worry about the incompatibility between his spiritual soul and the physical body he is in. After all, "he and I are me", which is also the magic of the supreme artifact, the Universal Divine Dice.

Although Fang Hao already knew about the existence of the "mystery in the womb" from the information conveyed by the Universal Divine Dice, the "him" in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes only solved the "mystery in the womb" when he was about five or six years old.

"I don't know when the 'other self' in this world will be able to awaken the 'self-consciousness'." Fang Hao sighed and immediately fell into an endless sleep.

……

In the 61st year of the Qing Dynasty, in the Imperial Palace of Kyoto, in the side hall of the Hanguang Hall
A woman who was dressed very simply, with a simple wooden hairpin in her hair, but whose natural beauty could not be concealed, was standing by the bed of a little person.

He was a very handsome young man, about ten years old, currently lying on the bed, with a frown on his brow and sweat pouring down his face. He seemed to be trapped in some unspeakable nightmare and could not wake up for a long time.

"Father! Mother! Save me!" the young man muttered in his dream.

The woman in plain clothes and wooden hairpin frowned, put down the ancient book in her hand reluctantly, stood up and tucked the quilt for the young man lying on the bed.

Afterwards, the woman sat down again, picked up the ancient book in her hand, and began to read it with relish.

It seems that in her eyes, studying and taking care of the little person in front of her are equally important things.

But if you look closely at the woman's face, you can see the worry inadvertently revealed between her eyebrows.

All this shows that although she was very worried about the child in the bed, she had to pretend to be calm.

Because this is the imperial palace.

The richest and most dangerous place in the world.

The woman in plain clothes knew this very well, but she was most annoyed by these intrigues.

So she used this stupid method and brought the child directly to Hanguang Palace.

Then, I read books and waited for the final result.

After all, she is the current Emperor Qing's concubine, and this child is also one of the few flesh and blood of Emperor Qing.

Those people will give her a satisfactory answer.

……

Raindrops fell from the tips of the yellow glazed tiles, forming a curtain woven by raindrops. Behind the heavy curtains sat the most powerful women of Qing Kingdom.

The kind-looking old lady at the top is none other than the mother of the current Emperor Qing, the former Princess Cheng and now the Empress Dowager.

At this moment, the Queen Mother half closed her eyes and said lightly: "Queen, tell me, what's going on?" The woman in palace dress with a dignified appearance, phoenix eyes and red lips, and cautiousness and restraint between her eyebrows, was the Queen of the current dynasty.

After hearing what the Queen Mother said, the Queen said slowly, "The Imperial Physician said that it was a poison called cat buttons. After this poison is mixed into cakes, it looks colorless and tasteless and is extremely difficult to prevent. Chengze became like this because he ate a cake with cat buttons on it."

"Someone secretly poisoned and murdered the prince in the imperial palace. Queen, you are responsible for this matter!" The Queen Mother's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, showing the majesty of the royal family.

"It was because of my daughter-in-law's failure to supervise me that people with ulterior motives took advantage of me." The queen admitted frankly.

After she said this, the Queen Mother felt a little guilty.

The old man knew very well that the turmoil that took place in the capital of Qing Kingdom four years ago resulted in almost countless deaths and bloodshed among the supporters of the Queen's lineage.

Even within the imperial palace, a group of palace maids and eunuchs were purged, which greatly reduced the queen's power in the palace, thus affecting her control over the inner court.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother's tone slowed down slightly and asked, "Who did it? Have you found out?"

"My sister-in-law is already investigating, and I think there will be results soon," said the palace.

The "sister-in-law" that the Queen refers to is of course Princess Yongtao Li Yunrui, who is the younger sister of Emperor Qing and the daughter of the Queen Mother.

Originally, it would be more effective if the investigation and trial were handed over to the Control Yuan.

However, since this matter involves the prince being poisoned, it is better not to make this scandal public.

Princess Li Yunrui has the trust of Emperor Qing and has been given jurisdiction over the inner treasury. She has many talented people under her command, so it is only a matter of time before the truth is uncovered.

Speak of the devil, and here he appears. Outside the Hanguang Palace, a woman in a light pink dress walked in gracefully.

The eldest princess is only in her early twenties this year, which is the most beautiful time for a woman.

She has a graceful figure, picturesque features, but a timid and love-inspiring demeanor, making her look like a fairy in a painting.

"Mother!" Li Yunrui greeted the empress dowager and sat down beside her.

The Queen Mother said nothing, but just looked at her coldly.

The relationship between the mother and daughter has not been good in the past two years because Li Yunrui had previously fallen in love with a poor boy named Lin Ruofu, and had an affair with him and gave birth to a daughter.

This made the empress dowager, who always attached great importance to etiquette, furious, and she threatened to skin Lin Ruofu alive.

Li Yunrui begged desperately, and the empress dowager had no choice but to let Lin Ruofu go. However, her attitude towards her daughter who got pregnant out of wedlock was naturally not much better.

Seeing that the empress dowager was obviously impatient, Li Yunrui stopped keeping her in suspense and told her the results of the investigation in detail.

The person who poisoned the palace was a maid in Concubine Shu's courtyard, but the mastermind was Concubine Tang from Ningcui Palace. It is said that Concubine Tang was from Nanzhao, and the poison was a specialty of her hometown.

Now that the real murderer has been found, the next thing will be easy. It's just a matter of arresting him and waiting for His Majesty to deal with him, as well as appeasing Concubine Shu.

Not long after, Eunuch Hou hurried into the Hanguang Palace and brought the expected bad news.

Concubine Tang - died, died under the "cat button" she brought from her hometown.

The person behind the scenes died, perhaps by committing suicide by taking poison, which can be regarded as an explanation to all the distinguished people present.

But everyone knows that this matter is not over yet.

But for Concubine Shu, who had no family power, the matter was over.

All she wanted was a result, and this result was not bad for her.
