Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 222 Escape!
"Haiqing is like my brother, my beloved relative, how can I ignore his position for a little profit?"

Inside Chengping Palace, Ji Haoyu walked hurriedly, his face full of grief.

Behind him, Ji Qingkong was scolded but he had a smile on his face, as if he didn't take Ji Haoyu's words to heart at all.

Ji Haoyu scolded: "Next time, don't do this without my permission!"

So let's just forget about it this time?
Ji Qingkong smiled even more and said with a cupped hand, "Father, that's right."

Ji Haoyu didn't even scold his fourth brother as usual, or correct his way of addressing him. He asked anxiously, "Does this Ruan Yu...really represent the intentions of the Duke of Donghai?"

Ji Qingkong laughed and said, "I dare not guarantee it, but Ruan Yu told me so himself. I heard that the seal of the Duke of Donghai is on him, so I think he is not making false claims."

Ji Haoyu was silent.

To be honest, his relationship with Zhao Qi'an has been good recently, and he even took the initiative to try to draw Zhao Qi'an into the core circle of his power.

But all this is based on the fact that Zhao Qi'an is the young master of the Zhao family in Donghai.

What he wanted was not the support of Zhao Qi'an, but the support of the Donghai Zhao family, which was wealthy enough to rival a country.

But what if... I could directly get the Duke of Donghai to support me?

It’s no wonder that Ji Haoyu would have such thoughts.

At least on the surface, the head of the Donghai Zhao family is the Grand Duke of Donghai, Zhao Wanjin.

The head of the family... is definitely more powerful than the young head of the family, right?

Ji Haoyu couldn't help but complain in his heart, thinking: "The disagreement between his father and son puts me in a dilemma."

But on second thought, how could the relationship between him and his father be any better than that between the father and son of the Zhao family?

If the father and son of the Zhao family are not in harmony, then the emperor's attitude towards himself... is indifference.

Sometimes, indifference is more hurtful than hatred.

Ji Haoyu felt a sense of sympathy for Zhao Qi'an and couldn't help but sigh.

No matter how much empathy you have, you still have to consider reality, right?

Now there is a rift between him and his grandfather, and he has been dissatisfied with his grandfather's behavior for so long without considering him. It is time to urgently need another powerful ally.

The Duke of Donghai is a very good candidate.

The reason is simple: he has money.

Although money is not omnipotent, but with money, he can let go and realize his ambitions, instead of being in the embarrassing situation where he seems to be powerful but is completely dependent on the Left Prime Minister and falls into decline instantly if he leaves the Left Prime Minister.

He didn't want to kick his grandfather out, he just wanted to have a force around him that could check and balance his grandfather a little, and to gather a team under his command that would be completely loyal to him.

At least my grandfather can take his thoughts into consideration when making decisions again.

It was also because of this that he had the opportunity to meet the Zhao family's worshiper!
But at this moment, suddenly there was an explosion from the front courtyard.

"boom!"

Ji Haoyu was immediately startled, and all the fat on his body trembled.

He stared in the direction where the sound came from, recognized it as the direction of the Golden Phoenix Gate, and then quickened his pace and rushed towards the Golden Phoenix Gate.

When Ji Haoyu hurriedly arrived, the scene in front of him made him stunned. His face suddenly changed in shock. He felt a chill running from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and the blood in his body turned cold.

……

"boom!"

A sound like thunder resounded throughout the Taiping Palace.

The dozen or so wooden barrels that were neatly arranged on the cart suddenly exploded.

The sudden explosion caught Ruan Yu, who was standing by, by surprise. He was stunned for a long time and his heart skipped a beat.

"Oh no, the Enlightenment Tea Tree!"

He didn't even have time to think about why the buckets of water exploded for no reason, and immediately rushed towards the cart.

When he entered the palace, he placed the box containing the Wudao tea tree seedlings on the cart. At this moment, the sudden explosion sent the box flying into the sky.

Although the Wudao tea tree is a treasure, it is just an ordinary tree. Not only is it not very strong, but it is extremely delicate and can be killed if you are not careful.

But fortunately, the box fell onto the lawn in the flower bed and the box itself was not damaged.

Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief when he picked up the box.

Just as he was about to open the box to check, he suddenly heard several exclamations behind him.

"Miss!"

He looked back and saw a group of palace maids coming not far from the entrance of the Golden Phoenix Gate behind him.

Walking in front was a woman in gorgeous clothes and jingling jewelry.

Just by looking at her attire, one could tell that she was definitely not a palace maid or a court lady, but must be a noble lady in the palace.

The woman had a bulging belly, obviously a pregnant woman.

At this moment, she was holding her stomach in a daze, obviously frightened by the sudden explosion.

Under Ruan Yu's gaze, he saw the noble lady's belly wriggling, as if something was about to burst out.

But the next moment, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because he saw... the woman's crotch was gradually turning dark red, and blood was flowing out!

Obviously, this scene was not only noticed by Ruan Yu, but also by the palace maids surrounding the woman.

One of the maids in green clothes was so anxious that she cried, "Come quickly... someone come quickly! The imperial concubine is bleeding!"

Imperial Concubine?!
Ruan Yu couldn't figure it out for a while.

But at this moment, I heard an angry voice behind me:

"Someone, capture that thief for me!"

Ruan Yu turned around again, only to see two men standing in the corridor behind her.

Ji Haoyu's face flushed red, his expression ferocious, and he pointed at him fiercely.

Ji Qingkong stood behind Ji Haoyu, stunned. It was obvious that everything he saw was completely beyond his expectations!

Ruan Yu's mind went blank until the guards in the Chengping Palace rushed towards him with weapons. Only then did he realize what was happening and yelled:
"Unjustly accused!"

……

On the other side, the princess's mansion.

Zhao Qi'an was not the only one in his study.

When Zhao Qi'an was conducting experiments on rabbits, Zhao Nishang was almost stunned as she watched it all.

Zhao Qi'an said calmly, "When I got this statue, I sent it to the Worship Hall and asked the worshippers to study it and figure out some tricks."

Zhao Nishang stared and asked, "Is the flesh-and-blood monster created by this statue afraid of sound?"

"Not the sound."

Zhao Qi'an took out another white pill from his sleeve, held it between his fingertips, and placed it in front of Zhao Nishang, saying calmly, "I once intercepted the thunder of the heavenly tribulation and gave it to Taoist Huanglong to refine the 'Thunder Tribulation Pill'. However, once the heavenly tribulation ended, the power of the intercepted heavenly thunder disappeared in an instant, and in the end, I only refined a furnace of useless pills."

"When the worshippers were studying the statue, they accidentally discovered that when the Thunder Tribulation Pill exploded, the statue actually had the idea of ​​'escaping'."

"What it fears is the remaining power of heavenly tribulation in this Thunder Tribulation Pill."

The flesh and blood of the "Spiritual Lord Above the Three Lamps" is sealed in this statue.

It is "living" flesh and blood.

Zhao Qi'an had known about this matter for a long time.

But most of the time, this statue is like a dead object and does not move at all.

It was only this "Thunder Tribulation Pill" that produced a reaction.

Zhao Qi'an thought that perhaps, although the "Thunder Tribulation Pill" was wasted, it should still have some power of the heavenly tribulation. And this power of the heavenly tribulation was exactly what the statue feared.

Zhao Nishang finally understood why Zhao Qi'an went to Taoist Huanglong to get this "magic pill" which had no power at all.

……

Inside the Chengping Palace.

Ji Haoyu was distracted, staring blankly at Qin Muwan who was not far away, looking at her expression full of pain, looking at the blood flowing down her skirt...

At this moment, he only felt that he could not hear any sound, and all the sounds around him seemed hazy under water.

"Unjustly accused!"

It was not until a loud roar from the man who was surrounded by the Forbidden Army not far away that Ji Haoyu came back to his senses.

At that moment, he felt a surge of heat rushing to his forehead, the scenery in front of him was spinning, and he staggered and was about to fall to the ground.

Ji Qingkong behind him was quick to support him.

"Father, father...are you okay?"

Ji Haoyu's face turned pale, he closed his eyes tightly, and he felt completely hopeless.

That is, that is his prince!

No, no, that is his throne!
He had a son when he was fifty years old. Can he have a second child in this life?
It's ruined, everything is ruined!

What is the East China Sea Zhao family, what is the alliance, what is the check and balance...

It's all useless!

He suddenly opened his eyes, and a force burst out from his body from somewhere, and he actually broke free from Ji Qingkong's hand that was supporting him.

He took a few steps forward, stiffened his neck, veins popping out, and roared with all his strength:
"Kill without mercy!!!"

The imperial guards, who received the order to "kill without mercy", did not hold back at all and directly attacked Ruan Yu.

Several long spears stabbed towards Ruan Yu, each one aimed at the vital points.

Ruan Yu was immediately furious and waved his hand to beat back several guards.

"not me!"

He shouted angrily, venting his frustration.

But no one present listened to his explanation.

Ruan Yu was so depressed that he almost vomited blood.

What a great injustice!

He didn't want to resist, he just wanted to explain things clearly. This was not what he did at all, and he had no reason to do such a thing.

At this moment, the maidservant in green clothes cried, "Your Highness, the Queen... the Queen is dying!"

Ruan Yu's heart skipped a beat.

But when he looked towards Ji Haoyu, he only saw a face full of hatred.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that no matter how much he explained, it was useless.

That woman is really the second imperial concubine!

In other words, the child in her belly is the second prince's offspring?

The Second Prince was fifty years old and childless. Now he finally had a child. But if he died today...

Who can imagine the second prince’s anger now?

It doesn’t matter whether I am the murderer or not. If I surrender now, the Second Prince will definitely kill me first before the Astronomical Observatory can find out the truth!
After realizing this, Ruan Yu stopped explaining and rushed towards the Golden Phoenix Gate.

He wants to... break out of the palace!
……

Once Ruan Yu made up his mind, he no longer hesitated.

He clapped his hands together and said silently in his heart:

"With the help of wind and thunder, magical powers are easy to perform!"

The two palms were separated, and there were two characters condensed by light and shadow in the palms, which were two seal characters - "wind" and "thunder"!
The next moment, his speed increased dramatically and he rushed directly into the sky. The sound of wind whistling and thunder could be faintly heard. He passed through the layers of encirclement of the imperial guards and rushed out of Chengping Palace directly.

The imperial guards immediately drew their bows and shot, but none of them hit the target.

"Go after it!"

Ji Haoyu was furious and immediately ordered the imperial guards to surround and kill Ruan Yu.

But at this moment, an extremely anxious voice came from the side: "Second brother, save the emperor's sister-in-law first!"

Ji Haoyu then calmed down a little and turned to look.

At some point, Ji Qingkong had come to Qin Muwan's side.

He seemed like a completely different person at this moment, with beads of sweat on his forehead, an expression of extreme anxiety, and even some gritting of teeth.

No wonder as long as he brings Ruan Yu to the Golden Phoenix Gate at the appointed time...

I have been tricked by the Zhao family!
Not only that, more importantly, the Zhao family is going to ruin their own plans!
The holy body has not yet been fully developed, Qin Muwan must not be in any danger!

Ji Qingkong was really anxious this time. Seeing that Ji Haoyu was still struggling with the unlucky guy Ruan Yu, he hurriedly called him to come over and save him first.

Ji Haoyu finally reacted and hurried over, shouting at the people around him: "Why are you all standing there? Go get the imperial physician... No, go get the Fifth Marquis!"

……

escape!
Get out!
At this moment, Ruan Yu had only one thought in his mind.

No matter how arrogant he was, he would never dare to stay in the palace for long.

Fortunately, although he is not very powerful in the realm of supernatural powers, the supernatural power he obtained by digging out the secrets of the human body is the "Wind and Thunder Control Method", which is a first-class supernatural power in the realm of supernatural powers when used to protect himself and escape.

It is precisely because of his mastery of this kind of magic that he was able to gain the ability to fly for a short period of time.

But just as Ruan Yu was speeding above the imperial palace, he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis from below.

He only had time to look down, and caught a glimpse of a cold light rising into the sky from the corner of his eye.

Is that... a gun?

"boom!"

The gun roared like a dragon, carrying with it an extremely powerful spiritual force, and stabbed towards his chest.

Ruan Yu was horrified and in a hurry, he quickly clasped his hands together.

His figure suddenly rushed forward and appeared several meters away in an instant.

He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, but then he heard a voice behind him.

"Wind and Thunder Control Technique? Not a bad magical power."

Ruan Yu's body suddenly became stiff. He slowly raised his head and saw a figure appear in front of him.

He was a tall man with arms much longer than that of an ordinary person. He was wearing a dark purple palace robe with delicate golden cloud patterns embroidered on the collar.

Although her hair and eyebrows were gray, her face was like a peeled egg, white with a rosy glow, without a single wrinkle.

The eunuch raised his hand and the spear flew from somewhere and landed squarely in his hand.

It was not until then that Ruan Yu saw clearly the spear that had just attacked him.

The spear body is like white jade, and a lifelike dragon is climbing up the spear body, with three points and two edges.

The thirty-six divine weapons of Tiangangpu——Panlong Spear!

And there was only one person in the entire Daqian Dynasty who could use this gun.

The head of the East Factory, the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department - Live the Fifth Marquis for Thousand Years!
