[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Chapter 5: Deep Palace Resentment

Shangguan Jinhong was not such an impulsive person. Moreover, before coming in, he suppressed his nausea and talked briefly with his two "teammates" about clearing the customs. They all agreed that no matter what happened there, they had to endure it and find out the situation first.

But Gang Leader Shangguan really overestimated the limit of his tolerance. He thought he should be very tolerant. He could tolerate Elder Tianji being one step ahead of him in the weapon rankings, tolerate people like Long Xiaoyun calling him a brother, tolerate Lin Xian'er being so smart that she thought she could control him, and tolerate the reputation of Xiao Li's flying dagger that never missed a target being an eyesore!
It's so funny. Shangguan Jinhong is already forbearing if he doesn't bully others. No one should bully him! He kneels when others sit? He listens when others talk? He still forbears even in such a situation?

I can't stand your grandma's legs!

Unless he's dead!
Zhaoyang Palace was in chaos. Three or five personal maids rushed to the front. A dozen eunuchs appeared out of nowhere. For a moment, they shouted "Madam," "Imperial Physician," and "Go and report to His Majesty!"

The concubines who were sitting upright could no longer sit still. They were all pale and trembling. They looked at Shangguan Jinhong as if she were a monster! The brave palace maids could still protect their masters, but the timid ones had already taken advantage of the chaos and ran away!

Shangguan Jinhong is worthy of being Shangguan Jinhong. His reaction is faster than that of ordinary people. After throwing the queen away without saying goodbye, he left two innocent teammates behind and used his light skills. In three or five breaths, even his shadow could not be seen.

Li Xunhuan and Wuhua looked at each other.

Wuhua nudged Li Xunhuan with his elbow and whispered, "Should we go together?"

As long as Li Xunhuan also said he wanted to leave, he could run faster than Shangguan Jinhong.

Li Xun Huan shook his head and said thoughtfully, "This incident happened suddenly, and it was not us who did it, so there is still a chance for it to turn around. If we follow them and run away, we will really become accomplices."

Wuhua was silent for a while. Although he had changed his clothes, he was still bald. His eyelids were slightly drooping, hiding a gloomy and cruel look. He said calmly, "If these people are held accountable, and they can't catch Shangguan Jinhong, and they use us as a scapegoat, what should we do?"

Li Xunhuan said, "When that time comes..." Before he could finish, he heard the eunuch's shrill voice saying, "The Emperor has arrived..." The voice was particularly drawn out.

I saw dozens of guards with swords standing on both sides, and more than 20 eunuchs and palace maids surrounded a middle-aged man in bright yellow walking quickly. From a distance, I heard him call out, "Zi Tong!"

The queen fell into the arms of the palace maid, trying her best to raise her head and weakly called "Your Majesty". Her hands dropped and her head tilted, and it was unclear whether she fainted or died.

Upon seeing this, the emperor immediately jumped up and cursed: "Are you all dead? Why don't you carry the queen into the bedroom and treat her properly? How can she lie at the door of the palace like this? Imperial physician! Where is the imperial physician? Come and see how the queen is doing? If my Zi Tong has any accident, I will let you and the entire Imperial Hospital be buried with him!"

A group of people were busy like ants, some were carrying people, some were repairing the door, and the imperial physician followed behind in fear. The concubines also seemed to have found a backbone, and they all cried one after another, telling the whole story. The emperor was really furious, and ordered the guards to search the whole palace and dig three feet deep to find Shangguan Jinhong, and cut her into pieces and minced into meat sauce!

Li Xunhuan and Wuhua said nothing and stood aside, watching the situation. Ah, here he comes, the emperor who seems to be mentally unstable is looking over here!

He is coming, he is coming, he is stepping on auspicious clouds, no, he is walking towards me with the gait of a dragon and a tiger!
The emperor solemnly, cherishingly, lovingly took the hands of the two people and placed them on his chest, smiling and saying softly: "The two beauties are frightened. I know that the thug was born in the countryside and is very brave. It is his temper to suddenly attack and hurt people. It has nothing to do with the two concubines."

It is no exaggeration to say that Li Xunhuan's hand that was held was numb from the fingertips to the shoulder, and his stomach was cold and nauseous. He tentatively pulled his hand away, but the Dog Emperor actually held it even tighter. Li Xunhuan was angry and wanted to vomit, and also wanted to laugh, his face turned red.

In fact, the emperor was not ugly. He was in his thirties or forties, with a high nose and big eyes. His skin was white and transparent, and he had long nails on his hands. He was a very delicate man, but also very good at annoying people.

He raised the corners of his mouth, leaned forward slightly, and whispered in Li Xunhuan's ear: "It seems that Li Tanhua still can't forget the fame of the previous dynasty." He smiled and said: "Well, if I let you go, are you willing to offer yourself to me and still call me Brother Xuanlang? Hmm? Little Li Tanhua?"

It’s fatal!
Li Xunhuan got goose bumps all over his body, a chill ran down his head, and his throat rolled several times.

What a damn dog game! It's fine to let him enter the harem, but why do they have to copy his original identity? He almost has a psychological barrier to the title of Xiao Li Tanhua!

Brother Xuanlang, ugh!
"Your Majesty." Wuhua had no psychological barriers at all. Instead of pulling her hand back, she rubbed the bright yellow brocade. Her voice was soft but not effeminate, cold but not arrogant. She said slowly: "Your concubine..."

Li Xun Huan turned his head in pain and closed his eyes, unable to bear to watch or listen any longer. This monk was so scary, he even used the word "minister" in such a short while!

Wuhua said, "I watched the queen being seriously injured, but I was powerless to save her. I feel very uneasy, and I don't know how she is now. Sigh." His face was full of compassion, and he sighed deeply, tears seemed to well up in his eyes, but he changed the subject and said, "Now the queen is not feeling well. Who can take charge of such a large harem? I am new to the palace, and all I can rely on is your majesty's favor. I am really terrified."

The emperor held his hand and shook it vigorously, saying with deep affection: "My beloved concubine is still so kind-hearted and sensitive. I still remember the day when I went to Shaolin Temple for a visit during my southern tour. My beloved concubine was playing the zither in the meditation room. I was moved by the sound of the zither, and that was when I first met my beloved concubine. That day was truly the luck of my life!"

At this point, the emperor seemed to be deeply touched and could not help sighing: "My beloved concubine is outstanding in appearance, character, and Buddhism. She is also good at calligraphy, painting, playing the zither, poetry, lyrics, and tea. She is truly a famous person of her generation! Unfortunately, the old monk in the temple was blind and passed the throne to a stinky monk who is inferior to my beloved concubine in everything. I know that my beloved concubine's sensitive and thoughtful heart knot was formed from that time."

Even Wuhua's eyelids twitched after hearing these words, and he began to feel uncomfortable all over.

The emperor was still in a state of relaxation. After sighing, he immediately said, "Pass on my decree to confer Wuhua the title of Miao Fei and grant her the right to live in Fuhua Palace. Oh, yes, my beloved concubine, Li Guiren." At this point, he rubbed the back of Li Xunhuan's hand with his fingers several times, "She is also an elegant person. Living with you in Fuhua Palace, is my beloved concubine satisfied?"

Wuhua forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty has given me this gift, and I dare not refuse it."

Li Xunhuan watched all this in amazement and felt that the world had gone crazy.

……

The Palace of Vanity is indeed very flashy.

The palace was built beside a pond, with a garden full of fragrant grass. With the setting sun, every blade of grass and every tree was golden in color. There was nothing magnificent in the palace, but everything from the bed, table and chairs to the cups, plates and bowls was ordinary, and even a man like Li Xunhuan, who was born into a noble family, could not help but admire it.

If he still had the mood to admire.

The eunuch just delivered an order, saying that the Empress was seriously injured, and Your Majesty needs to stay by her side. He will not summon them to sleep with you tonight, and let the two of you... The young eunuch was stuck here, and couldn't find a suitable address for a long time, so he just used "the two of you". In short, he asked them not to be sad, and that Your Majesty would come to accompany you when he is free.

Li Xunhuan was very grateful to him!

It's just that you can avoid the matter of serving the emperor on the first day, but you can't avoid it on the fifteenth day! Xiao Li, who was able to remain calm and composed despite being killed, was so worried that the whole room was spinning like a top. Wuhua, however, was not anxious. Not only was he not anxious, he even pulled out a zither from somewhere and played a song of Xiang Fei Yuan, which was considered a daily routine.

Qi Jue Miao Seng might not be a good person, but his professional skills are still impressive. He played the song "Xiang Fei Yuan" so plaintively that even people who don't understand music would feel an unspeakable bitterness in their hearts when they suddenly hear such a song.

The palace maids had been sent out early, and there were only the two of them in the room.

"Master is in a good mood." Li Xunhuan stopped spinning the top, leaned back in his chair and sneered.

Wuhua did not take it as an offense, and smiled faintly: "The situation is very good now, so I am naturally interested."

"The situation is very good?" Li Xun Huan asked, "But I don't know why it is good?"

Wuhua said: "Does Li Tanhua still remember the task assigned by the game?"

Li Xun Huan said: "She is the last laugh in the harem struggle and the mother of the country?"

Wuhua said: "Yes, then I would like to ask Li Tanhua, where is the Queen Mother now?"

Where is he? Lying on the bed.

Others could not see Shangguan Jinhong's move, but the two of them saw it clearly. Even if it was used on a warrior who had been training hard since childhood, he would have to lie down for ten days or half a month. The queen's delicate body would only last for two days.

Wuhua added: "Once the queen dies, the six palaces will be without a master, and our chance will come."

Li Xun Huan listened silently and looked at Wu Hua intently. Wu Hua still smiled and said, "Does Li Tan Hua have any advice for you?"

Li Xun Huan said, "I dare not. I just suddenly thought of a question. In this game, does it mean that one of us three will be the mother of the country, or all three of us will be the mother of the country?"

If it's the former, it's fine. But if it's the latter... Shangguan Jinhong has already run away!

The piano music stopped abruptly.

Wuhua stood up. Li Xunhuan had already walked to the window and said to the maids waiting outside, "The tea is getting cold. Please get me some hot tea."

The maid took the order and left. The next moment, a dark shadow came in.

Shangguan Jinhong looked a little embarrassed, but fortunately he was not injured. Of course, the guards couldn't catch him, but if they came in groups, it would always be troublesome to encounter them, and Gang Leader Shangguan was not particularly good at light work.

Wuhua couldn't help but frowning when she saw him: "Why are you back again? The guards here work in three shifts. If you get caught, no one can save you!"

Shangguan Jinhong walked around the room, picked up the teapot on the table and took a deep gulp before saying, "I tried, but I couldn't get out."

"can not go out?"

"The wall here is not high, it's easy to climb over, but I'm blocked by an invisible wall! There's no way out!" Shangguan Jinhong was obviously angry, veins flashing on his forehead: "It seems that this ridiculous task must be completed."

Li Xunhuan and Wuhua were both shocked. Originally they were thinking that since they still had their skills, if things really became irreversible, they could just leave. Who could stop them?
But now, the game has completely imprisoned them here. Want to leave? There's not even a dog hole for you!

Shangguan Jinhong suddenly looked at Li Xunhuan and said coldly: "I have heard what you just said. I have an idea, an idea to quickly pass the level."

Li Xun Huan asked, "I wonder what method it is?"

"I have observed that there is not a single expert in the entire palace. Why don't you two help me kill the emperor, and I will ascend the throne."

"When I become emperor, I will make you queen."

This sentence was said to Li Xunhuan.

Li Xunhuan was stunned.

Even if he was beaten to death, he would never have thought that Shangguan Jinhong would say such words to him one day.

Shangguan Jinhong said to Wuhua: "You acknowledge me as your foster father now. When I ascend the throne, I will make you the crown prince, and then I will abdicate to you. You can then honor me as the queen mother."

"Finally, you can find a son to abdicate and have him respect you as the Queen Mother. This way, we can both be the mothers of the country and have a bright future. What do you think?"

Wuhua was also stunned.
