The Buddha is actually me

Chapter 563 The Truth Behind the Death of the Late Emperor

There was silence in the Jade Pavilion.

But a chill arose in everyone's heart. Even the most innocent Ali couldn't help but shiver at this moment.

He gave his daughter a highly toxic drug, causing her to suffer inhumane torture. After the poison had been digested, he drained her bones and blood to make an elixir of life.

"The amount of immortality wine is not small. One cup a day is required for 9981 days to achieve complete immortality and eternal youth. Therefore, Princess Yuzhen will also have to endure 9981 days of torture with the deadly poison and undergo surgery to dig out her bones and let her blood 9981 times..."

Such an experience was frightening even for Zhang Jiuyang, who had the current concentration.

Even a tiger will not eat its own cubs, but the old emperor could be so cruel to his own daughter. Such torture is chilling to think about.

He looked at the quiet beauty in the coffin who seemed to be in a deep sleep. Her skin under the long palace dress was flawless and white, and it was so delicate that it was hard to imagine that she had been subjected to torture comparable to lingchi, which was like being cut into pieces.

"But why did Zhuge Yu say that the old emperor died suddenly after drinking the Immortal Wine?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly asked, according to the Moon Goddess, the old emperor had found a way to neutralize the poison brewed by the immortals, and should be immortal now, so why did he suddenly die?
"Because although Princess Yuzhen had extremely strong vitality, she couldn't stand the toxicity of the Immortal Wine. She was always being dug up and her blood was taken. Even the most vigorous vitality would eventually run out. When she drank the 42nd cup, she couldn't stand it anymore."

"She was dying at the time and begged her father not to save her. She also hoped to be buried with her mother after her death. But the late emperor, who had enjoyed the benefits and gradually regained his youth, would not listen to her."

A chill flashed across the Moon Goddess's eyes as she said, "In order to keep his daughter alive so that he could test the drug to detoxify her, he decided to turn her into a zombie..."

Zombies are a very special kind of existence. Their souls are gone, but their bodies are immortal and can be greatly strengthened.

Even the most ordinary zombies have bodies that are invulnerable to swords and guns, and their lifespans are extremely long, comparable to immortality.

However, after turning into a zombie, only the previous obsessions remain. Even if he cultivates his soul again, he will be a different person.

Just like the zombie who only knows thunder magic, he was once the founder of Feixian Cave, Master Zi Lei, but after escaping from Penglai Fairy Palace, he never returned to Feixian Cave and had no feelings for the sect he founded.

Although they are the same body, they are two different flowers.

The old emperor's move was extremely vicious. If Princess Yuzhen was turned into a zombie, it would be more difficult for her to be poisoned to death, and she would be able to survive the Immortal Wine that would follow.

"In order to refine the corpse, he used his imperial power to forcibly borrow the treasure of the corpse-driving lineage, the Longevity Coffin, and sent people from the Jingye Division to create natural disasters everywhere, taking the opportunity to collect a large amount of resentment from the dead souls and inject it into the coffin to speed up the corpse refining. Soon, Princess Yuzhen really became a zombie."

"Such despicable behavior is unworthy of being a king!"

Even Shao Yun, who was calm by nature, couldn't help but curse. He now finally understood why his father joined the White Alliance and gave up all his wealth and glory to rebel.

“Haha, but those who play with fire will eventually get burned. What the old emperor didn’t expect was that Princess Yuzhen’s resentment was too strong. After turning into a zombie, she actually broke free from her restraints.”

"That night, the palace was stained with blood, and countless people from the Jingye Division were killed or injured. The old emperor was sucked dry of all his blood and died suddenly!"

"Deserve it!"

"happy!"

Ali and Shao Yun sighed at the same time, especially Shao Yun, who looked at Princess Yuzhen with a hint of gratitude in his eyes.

The other party also helped him avenge his father's death.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded slightly. It was said that after a person turned into a zombie, he would subconsciously bite his blood relatives first. Princess Yuzhen not only turned into a zombie, but also suffered inhuman torture from the old emperor. She would definitely seek revenge.

"But Princess Yuzhen had just become a zombie at that time. Although she managed to kill the old emperor by surprise, she was suppressed by the people from the Imperial Observatory who came over. By the way, the leader at that time was Zhuge Yunhu."

“Later, Princess Yuzhen was locked up in the Longevity Coffin in the Jade Pavilion. Zhuge Yunhu specially set up a dragon trap to suppress it with the power of the Shenzhou Dragon Vein, and mobilized the evil spirit in the cold palace as a barrier to prevent ordinary people from getting close.” Zhang Jiuyang nodded. This explained it. No wonder the evil spirit in the cold palace surrounded the Jade Pavilion like a whirlwind. Once ordinary people got close, they would feel cold all over and subconsciously want to stay away. If it was at night, they would encounter a ghost wall.

"Normally there are many secret guards around the Jade Storage Pavilion, but they are all gone today."

The Moon Goddess smiled and said meaningfully, "It seems that your Majesty intends to let Master Zhang meet this Princess Yuzhen."

Zhang Jiuyang's eyes were deep, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"Okay, I've told you everything I found out about Princess Yuzhen."

"These things are palace secrets. Because they involve the scandal of the previous emperor, they are not recorded in the books. The file that Zhuge Yu found did not record the whole truth. It only said that the emperor died by drinking the wine of immortals."

Dying from taking an elixir of immortality and testing the poison on one's own daughter, cruelly turning her into a zombie and then being bitten to death in the end, are two completely different concepts.

No matter how bold the people of Jingyesi were, they dared not record the entire truth.

There wasn’t even any file on the Immortal Wine in the Imperial Observatory. No, maybe it was not that it wasn’t there, but that it was hidden by Zhuge Yunhu.

You know, from the time the old emperor first met Empress Zhaoyuan, to when he later led the people to suppress Princess Yuzhen who had turned into a zombie, and set up the dragon trap and the jade storage pavilion, he was a participant and witness.

Combined with Zhuge Yunhu's recent performance, Zhang Jiuyang has developed a strong curiosity about him.

This contemporary supervisor, the patriarch of the Zhuge family, who is nicknamed a sick cat by the world... is definitely not as simple as the rumors say, and his cunning is simply unfathomable.

What exactly does he want to do and which side is he on?
"Why didn't the new king get rid of Princess Yuzhen after he came to power?"

Zhang Jiuyang grasped a key point. The previous emperor was bitten to death by it. So after the new emperor came to the throne, how could he tolerate a terrible zombie sleeping beside his bed?

Aren’t you afraid of following the old emperor’s example?

"I don't know about that. Maybe you can ask Zhuge Yunhu. I think he must know more than me."

The Moon Goddess shook her head and said, "But that guy is really shrewd. I have dealt with him several times and never got any advantage from him. I even suspect that he is a fox in disguise."

Zhang Jiuyang nodded without saying anything else. He looked at Princess Yuzhen for a moment, then turned and left.

He saw what the emperor wanted him to see.

Zhang Jiuyang already understood why the other party let him into the Cangyu Pavilion, but this matter could not be made clear yet.

"Wait a minute, there's a third thing. Can you please tell me all at once?"

Seeing him preparing to leave, Luna shouted hurriedly.

Zhang Jiuyang paused, and then said calmly: "The third thing is to ask you to pay more attention to Princess Yuzhen in the palace for me, and tell me in time if there is any situation."

"No problem, what's the time limit?"

"Watch it first, and I'll tell you when I've thought it through."

Moon God: "..."
