Daqian Night Emperor

Chapter 229 The five internal organs are the furnace, and the physical body is the great elixir!
Nowadays, many people come and go in Chengping Palace.

But at this moment, Ji Haoyu completely ignored the benevolent and humble image that he had worked hard to build up, and in public, he punched and kicked his fourth brother Ji Qingkong.

No one dared to stop him, and no one dared to offend the Second Prince at this time.

Ji Qingkong held his head with both hands, curled up without saying a word, not daring to resist at all.

But the anger in his heart was no less than that of his second brother.

"Zhao Qi'an, I will never forgive you!"

Ji Qingkong's eyes were almost spitting fire, and the violent emotional fluctuations made his heart hurt like a knife.

How could he not know that he was tricked by Zhao Qian'an!

No wonder, no wonder the Zhao family promised him so many benefits just by asking him to bring the person into Chengping Palace within the specified time.

It turns out that he had already decided to make me the scapegoat!

What really made him angry was that the fetus in Qin Muwan's belly showed signs of being in danger.

How much did they pay for the birth of the Holy Child?
Hundreds of thousands of lives, decades of operation in Jingzhou...

If the holy fetus is not preserved, all this will be in vain!
And all this was just because the Zhao family punished their retainers? !
Ji Qingkong found it hard to accept the thought that he was inadvertently used by the Zhao family and became an accomplice who destroyed everything with their own hands.

He suddenly hugged Ji Haoyu's thigh that was kicking at him: "Second brother, second brother...listen to me, I have a way, I have a way to save the emperor's sister-in-law!"

Ji Haoyu immediately stopped what he was doing and looked at him with a look of doubt and disbelief: "You? What can you do?"

Ji Qingkong's face was bruised and swollen, and he said hurriedly: "Guan Yunzi has been refining the elixir for eighteen years under the order of the emperor. Now the elixir is ready and has been sent to Kyoto City. It is in my father's study. The elixir will definitely save my sister-in-law!"

The elixir of immortality?

Ji Haoyu instantly understood what Ji Qingkong was talking about, and his expression immediately became gloomy.

In order to protect his son, he was willing to do anything, even kneeling down in front of his father and begging.

But will the Emperor... really agree to give him the elixir?

How could the elixir that Guan Yunzi, the leader of Taoism and the first pillar of the country, spent eighteen years refining be an ordinary thing?

That was what my father had always dreamed of, and it was his hope for achieving immortality.

On one side is the emperor's grandson, and on the other side is his own elixir of enlightenment...what will the emperor choose?
When Ji Haoyu thought of this, his face suddenly darkened.

He knows his father too well!

If Emperor Tianwu could bestow the elixir, he would not be the Emperor Tianwu!

Ji Qingkong had a chance to catch his breath. He wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, took a deep breath, and as if he had made up his mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll go steal!"

Ji Haoyu widened his eyes and looked at Ji Qingkong suddenly.

Ji Qingkong smiled sadly and said, "Since this matter was caused by me, I will go and steal the elixir to save the emperor's sister-in-law. If the emperor finds out, everything will be my fault. Can the emperor still kill me? At worst, I will stop being a prince!"

Ji Haoyu never expected that Ji Qingkong was willing to do this.

He looked at the blood on Ji Qingkong's face, raised his hand and wiped it off for Ji Qingkong with his sleeve.

In the end, Ji Haoyu said nothing, just sighed and patted Ji Qingkong on the shoulder.

……

When Ji Qingkong left Chengping Palace, a group of people came from the direction of Kunning Palace.

He saw the Phoenix Chariot from a distance and quickly retreated to the side of the road.

The phoenix chariot hurriedly passed by him, and no one seemed to notice the Fourth Prince standing on the side of the road, and it hurried towards the direction of Chengping Palace.

After the Phoenix Chariot passed by, Ji Qingkong stood up and looked in the direction where the Phoenix Chariot had left.

In this deep palace, the only one who can travel in a phoenix chariot with such grand ceremony is the Empress, the mother of the country.

Empress Wu, as the mother of the second prince, is now sixty-five years old. She usually lives in Kunning Palace and rarely comes out. Now even she has hurried to Chengping Palace. It seems that the matter of Chengping Palace has spread in the palace.

Ji Qingkong withdrew his gaze, turned and left.

But the direction he was heading was not the imperial study.

Steal father's elixir of immortality?

But the question is where did the elixir of immortality come from?
It is true that Guan Yunzi was ordered to make elixirs, and it is also true that the Xuan Dao Sect sent people to deliver some elixirs to Kyoto City some time ago.

But if it’s not the Immortal Pill of Immortality, how would Ji Qingkong know where it is?
Even if it was, the elixir would probably have been swallowed by my father as soon as it was delivered to Kyoto City. How could it have been left in the imperial study for someone to steal?
He cheated Ji Haoyu!

But it doesn’t matter whether there is an elixir of immortality or not. Even if there isn’t... he can “refine” one.

As long as the fetus in the emperor's sister-in-law's belly can be saved, why would the second emperor care whether the elixir presented is an elixir of immortality?
Ji Qingkong knew that this action was very risky. Once his second brother and father asked about it, the lie would be exposed.

Then, there is a high possibility that my true identity will be exposed. Once my abnormality is discovered by the national teacher, the five marquises and the like, my end will be disastrous!
But the incident happened suddenly, and this was the best solution he could think of at the last minute.

He had no choice but to do it. At this point the most important thing was to preserve the holy fetus!
"This matter is not so easy to expose. Second brother thought I stole the elixir from father to save people. How dare he go to father to ask?"

Ji Qingkong murmured to himself, comforting himself.

Then, without any hesitation, he strode towards his Taihe Palace.

……

Chengping Palace, inside the sleeping palace.

Qin Muwan was lying on the bed, her face pale, beads of sweat the size of beans rolling down her forehead.

Several palace maids stood at the foot of the bed, lifted the quilt, and from time to time took out blood-stained towels and threw them into the copper basin. Soon the clear water in the copper basin was stained with deep red.

The Fifth Marquis Qiansui sat beside the bed, pressing Qin Muwan's wrist with his slender fingers, continuously transferring his own spiritual energy into the imperial concubine's body.

But his brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and a hint of confusion flashed across his unsightly face.

There's something wrong with the fetus in the imperial concubine's belly.

No matter how much spiritual power he transferred into the imperial concubine's body, it was completely absorbed by the unborn fetus.

You have to know that the spiritual energy he transferred would have burst the body of even a celestial warrior to death.

But the unformed fetus in the imperial concubine's belly was like a bottomless pit. It not only devoured the spiritual energy he passed on, but also continuously devoured the mother's blood.

If he had not taken action to save the imperial concubine's heart, the imperial concubine would probably have died by now.

But what puzzled Wu Hou Qiansui was that there was clearly something strange about the fetus, but no matter what means he used to investigate, he could not find out what was strange about the fetus.

If there is any difference, it is that the imperial concubine's baby grows much faster than ordinary babies.

Logically speaking, a fetus of five or six months old should not have fully taken human form, but the fetus in the imperial concubine's belly was already fully developed, with a nose and eyes.

"Is it innately magical?"

The Fifth Marquis had some vague guesses in his mind, but he was not quite sure.

There are many people in this world who are born with supernatural powers.

Some were born with the innate ability to spit water and fire, some were born with pearls, and some had four eyes with double pupils, wings, and other innate supernatural powers. These people were different from ordinary people when they were born, and their future achievements were mostly far beyond ordinary people.

It is rumored that the founding emperor of the Daqian Dynasty, Guiyuan Emperor, was a congenital supernatural being with four eyes and double pupils.

It is not just the Daqian Dynasty. Among the emperors of all dynasties, there were many people with innate supernatural powers.

For this reason, innate miracles are regarded as auspicious signs.

The Fifth Marquis had never expected that the Second Prince's offspring would be so extraordinary. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that if this grandson could be born safely, the position of crown prince would probably be settled.

It’s a pity that all this is based on the premise that the emperor’s grandson can be born safely.

But now it seems...the situation is not optimistic.

The Fifth Marquis glanced at the people in the hall, and saw that the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital were standing beside the hall trembling with fear, not daring to breathe.

No one discussed how to treat the Second Imperial Concubine or how to save the fetus in her belly.

When the Fifth Marquis's gaze fell on an imperial physician, the physician would immediately lower his head and remain silent.

Among them, there may be people with real talent and knowledge.

But they dare not treat it!

Once the prescription is released, if the emperor's grandson is not saved, they will all face the unprovoked disaster of having their property confiscated and their clan exterminated!
The Fifth Marquis sighed softly and looked at the maid in green guarding the bed on the other side. He vaguely remembered that she was the personal maid of the Second Imperial Concubine. He waved at her and said, "Come here."

The maid in green hurried over, her eyes filled with tears, and choked up and said, "Eunuch, please save my queen."

"I'll try my best."

The Fifth Marquis agreed and then said, "I'll give you a prescription, please write it down..."

The maid in green wiped her tears and nodded hurriedly.

The Fifth Marquis recited the ingredients in the prescription one by one, and the maid in green wrote them down carefully, repeating them silently in her mind several times, for fear of missing or making mistakes.

Finally, the Fifth Marquis glanced at the group of imperial doctors who were shaking like sieves, and said to the maid in green: "Most of the herbs here are available in the Imperial Hospital. But the few herbs I will tell you about later, you should get them from the treasury, don't make the mistake."

He took off his badge and threw it to the maid in green.

After the maid in green took the badge, she thanked him profusely and did not dare to delay any longer, and ran out in a hurry.

When she ran out of the hall gate, she ran into the second prince Ji Haoyu.

Ji Haoyu was fine, but she was knocked and fell to the ground.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

"Go do your thing."

Ji Haoyu had heard a few words outside the hall before, and knew what the maid in green was going to do. He didn't care that she had bumped into him, and told her to go down quickly.

Only then did he turn around, hunched over and said, "Mother, be careful with the steps."

"What time has it been!"

The elegant woman behind him shouted angrily, then walked quickly into the bedroom.

When the woman stepped into the hall, everyone in the hall stood up and saluted: "Greetings, Queen!"

Although Empress Wu was over sixty years old, she was in very good condition. Apart from some white hair on her head, there were no wrinkles on her face, and her former charm could still be seen.

She was quite dignified, and as she looked around at everyone in the hall, she snorted heavily, "Why be so polite at this time? If you can't protect the emperor's grandson, I will hold you accountable!"

Everyone in the hall was silent and dared not respond, and hurriedly went about their own business.

Empress Wu walked towards the bed, and the Second Prince hurried forward to support her, but she threw her sleeves away and said, "I am not old enough for this!"

She came to the bed, and the Fifth Marquis Qiansui stood up and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Her Majesty the Queen."

Only after seeing the Fifth Marquis did Empress Wu's expression ease a lot. She held the Fifth Marquis' hand and asked anxiously, "Fifth brother, my grandson..."

The queen, who is the mother of the country, treats this eunuch as brother or sister.

If this matter were to get out, I'm afraid everyone inside and outside the government would be shocked.

But everyone in the hall seemed to be deaf and chose to pretend not to hear.

Ji Haoyu, who served beside Queen Wu, knew some of the inside story, but he just kept his head down and said nothing.

The Fifth Marquis Qiansui shook his head silently.

Seeing this, Queen Wu's eyes immediately turned red, and she murmured, "How could this happen? How could this happen..."

The Fifth Marquis simply bowed silently, then sat back down and continued to supply spiritual energy to the Second Imperial Concubine.

In fact, there was something he didn't say. In fact, the emperor's grandson was fine, but the imperial concubine, as the mother, could not hold on any longer.

The fetus in the imperial concubine's belly was devouring the mother's blood and energy in an almost predatory manner, and the Second Imperial Concubine's mortal body could not bear it at all. If he had come a step later, the Second Imperial Concubine would probably have been dried up.

"At this point, your Majesty and Your Highness should make plans as soon as possible." The Fifth Marquis Qiansui looked at the mother and son and said calmly, "If I take action now and kill the son and save the mother, the imperial concubine still has a chance of survival. If it's too late, I'm afraid there will be two lives lost."

Ji Haoyu's face suddenly turned gloomy, but he still didn't give up and asked: "Fifth Marquis, is there really no hope of saving the prince? Didn't you just ask Xiaoqing to get the medicine..."

Wu Hou Qiansui shook his head: "It's just treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

Just a few words made Ji Haoyu feel like he was struck by lightning.

Just at this moment, his sleeve was grabbed weakly by a hand.

He looked down blankly, only to see Qin Muwan lying on the bed, her face pale, her brows furrowed in pain, beads of sweat the size of beans constantly flowing out of her forehead.

But she still held on to Ji Haoyu's sleeve tightly, and said weakly, "Protect... Protect the emperor."

These three people made Ji Haoyu burst into tears immediately.

After a moment, he wiped away the tears from his eyes, turned to look at the Fifth Marquis, and said firmly: "Fifth Marquis, if we delay for a little longer, there may be a chance of a turnaround."

Just as the Fifth Marquis was about to speak, Empress Wu stepped forward and pleaded in a pitiful voice, "Fifth Brother!"

He could only sigh and nod, "I'll try again."

……

In the Taihe Palace, Ji Qingkong sat cross-legged in the hall and raised his hand to slap his chest:

“The heart is the medicine…”

"Liver is firewood..."

"The lungs are the tripod..."

A "medicinal fragrance" gradually filled his body.

As time passed, Ji Qingkong's face gradually became hideous, as if he was in great pain.

Along with this, there was an increasingly strong medicinal fragrance on his body. This fragrance permeated the entire hall, making people feel intoxicated.

He...wants to use his own internal organs as a furnace to refine a "physical pill"!
