Chapter 238: The whole nation mourns for Emperor Wu, and the evil woman is imprisoned in the scarlet prison
"Mammy, he is..."
Looking at the little boy's pretty face pretending to be calm.
Li Xingluo took a while to react before he realized that the voice was somewhat familiar.
The reshaping of the body slightly changed the timbre.
But there's nothing wrong with that tone of voice.
She was a little surprised: "Little spirit?"
The little boy snorted and said nothing.
Pu Mingzhu smiled: "It's more than just a little spirit."
Li Xingluo looked around and asked, "Are there any others?"
She was surprised enough.
Although she still didn't quite understand what Pu Mingzhu's difficulties were, but since her first trip to the Ruins of the Gods, she was at least certain that Pu Mingzhu was absolutely kind to her from the bottom of his heart.
After she came back, Pu Mingzhu’s death has always been a concern for her.
We also discussed with Xiao Qi Ling about letting him experience the life of a living person.
Two wishes.
All of this was completed quietly by Qin Muye.
But from what Pu Mingzhu said, it seemed like there was a third surprise.
But after she thought about it, it seemed that there was no third person worth resurrecting.
Of course, this is only limited by the ability of the Living Puppet Technique.
If she could really bring back the dead, she would certainly hope that Pu Wanjun would come back as well.
It’s a pity that after more than 20 years, his soul has long since departed.
and so.
Who else could it be?
Li Xingluo was a little confused.
Pu Mingzhu just smiled slightly, took out a box from his arms and handed it over.
See what the box looks like.
Li Xingluo's heart skipped a beat. This kind of box is specially used to hold Gu.
So, what kind of Gu could it be?
She was a little nervous and opened the box carefully.
There really was a remembrance Gu inside.
She glanced at Pu Mingzhu.
Pu Mingzhu gave her an encouraging look.
Li Xingluo took a deep breath and placed the Memory Gu between his eyebrows.
next moment.
Her consciousness was immersed in the Kunjing Palace more than 20 years ago.
Her eyes were getting redder and redder.
Pu Mingzhu couldn't help but look at Li Zhiyi not far away.
Li Zhiyi frowned and quickly put on an indifferent attitude.
a long time.
Li Xingluo took off the Memory Gu, looked at Pu Mingzhu, and then looked at Li Zhiyi.
He burst out laughing.
But soon he lay down on the desk and burst into tears again.
Pu Mingzhu did not stop her, but just patted her back gently.
Then he glanced at Li Zhiyi who was still pretending to be cool.
Li Zhiyi was also a little bit distressed by her crying, so he pretended to be reluctant and walked in front of Li Xingluo. He pinched his throat and said in a mature tone: "You still have to control your emotions and don't let your mood fall."
"Uh-huh!"
Li Xingluo cried and laughed while wiping away tears: "Don't worry! I can control it completely, Xiaoqi...Brother! You don't have to worry about me anymore."
"Ok!"
Li Zhiyi nodded coolly: "Your study was not in vain."
Finish this sentence.
He didn't say anything.
To be honest, he has not yet accepted his identity as Li Zhiyi.
Because... he hasn't remembered the things he forgot, but he judged that this was true from the information he got from Pu Mingzhu and Memory Gu.
In addition, he already had a good relationship with Li Xingluo, so he accepted the identity of his brother.
After changing his body, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Because he had studied emotions before, he could interpret them from the perspective of an absolute bystander. After losing his physical body, he cut off all emotional signals interpreted by his physical body.
but now……
Can this kind of inexplicable emotion make people cry so easily?
want to cry.
But not painful.
Even happy.
Emotions are more complicated than I imagined.
Seeing that Li Xingluo had stopped crying, Li Zhiyi said calmly, "Just review the memorials. Don't lose your duty as a king."
"Ok!"
Li Xingluo smiled, picked up the pen and dipped it into the ink that Pu Mingzhu had just ground. While reviewing the memorials, he smiled and said, "Brother! Now that you have regained your body, it's just the right time to make up for the missing twenty years. Let your brother-in-law take you shopping tomorrow!"
Li Zhiyi frowned slightly: "How long have I lived? Do I still need to make up for my childhood?"
Li Xingluo smiled and said, "Whether it can be made up or not depends on your mood. But now that you have a physical body, you will eventually have to integrate into the world of mortals. It is still necessary to get more familiar with this world in person, don't you think?"
“That makes sense!”
Li Zhiyi nodded and complained dissatisfiedly: "This Qin Muye is really outrageous. I am already this age, and he still arranged a child's body for me."
Li Xingluo couldn't help but smile. She could guess what Qin Muye was thinking.
Arranging an adult's body can naturally do more things.
But it will also leave many shortcomings.
Anyway, Qin Muye can refine a new body at any time. If Li Zhiyi really doesn't like being a child, he can just refine a new one.
Looking at the two relatives who were lost and found.
Li Xingluo felt like he was dreaming. He pinched his face, and the feeling of happiness gradually became real.
She dialed the communication device hanging on her ear.
"Makino!"
"Yeah! Do you like it?"
"like!"
Li Xingluo paused and added, "I like it very much!"
Qin Muye smiled and said, "Then hurry up and finish approving the documents. I'll finish my work. You have to thank me when I get back!"
Li Xingluo's cheeks turned red. If it were any other time, she would have already used aggressive words to greet him.
But now that Pu Mingzhu and Li Zhiyi were here, she actually felt a little embarrassed.
at this time.
A voice was heard from outside the palace: "Your Majesty! Feng Shan, the former chief of Yongzhou in Lingnan, comes to ask for an official position!"
Li Xingluo: “…”
She smiled.
that's nice!
……
Qin Muye sat up from the recliner.
He glanced at Li Hong, whose face turned pale from crying.
I had prepared some sarcastic remarks, but seeing his state, I didn't say them in the end.
After a long time.
Li Hongcai heaved a sigh of relief and managed a smile: "Is this the farewell gift you prepared for me?"
"Yeah! Count how many presents there are in total."
"several……"
Li Hong was in a daze for a while, and waved his hands helplessly: "They are all good, let's not worry about the number!"
My son, who committed suicide to save his sister, is definitely one of them.
This is the eldest son and the most intelligent of all his children.
He was also the one that made him feel the most heartbroken and guilty.
This is certainly a gift.
There is also Li Xingluo and her relatives who will accompany her for the rest of her life.
that's nice!
For a moment, Li Hong felt that his life seemed complete.
But then he fell into extreme loneliness.
Because he knows.
What I just saw was just a perfect picture. I was not in that picture, and it was impossible for me to appear in it.
Therefore, what has just been achieved perfection is not one's own life.
His lips moved.
But after struggling for a long time, he swallowed his words.
Qin Muye knew that he wanted to see his and Pu Wanjun's two children.
Unfortunately.
He couldn't say it.
In other words, he didn't dare.
Qin Muye hesitated for a while and said, "It just so happens that a group of foreign ministers have arrived from Daqian. Should I arrange a ceremony to welcome them?"
Do you want to show filial piety in front of the hall again?
Li Hong forced a smile and said, "No need! He's going to die soon, there's no need to trouble yourself like that."
Qin Muye said in a deep voice: "In fact, your life span is mainly limited by your body. Now that I have made a breakthrough in the Living Puppet Technique, I can actually..."
"No need!"
Li Hong smiled and waved his hands: "I have to go down quickly to accompany Wanjun. She has been waiting for me for more than 20 years. She must be impatient, right?"
Qin Muye: “…”
Forget it.
The entanglement here is too complicated.
He didn't want to judge anymore.
only……
Seeing that Li Hong was obviously disappointed, he could probably guess that Li Hong's time was almost up.
For an emperor, this was an undisputed death.
But for a father, his later years are bleak.
Li Hong turned his head and said with a smile: "Muye, thank you!"
"It should be done!"
Qin Muye sighed lightly.
Li Hong said in a deep voice: "You should stay in Kunjing Palace tonight!"
"Ok?"
Qin Muye suddenly frowned: "You wouldn't..."
There was a hint of pleading in Li Hong's eyes: "As my son, please send me off for the last time!"
Qin Muye couldn't hold back any longer: "Just leave? There's still a section..."
"My life has been complete, and the remaining regrets cannot be shaken. I can leave today with some dignity."
"Then Lu Lu and my uncle..."
"Just tell them about my death tomorrow."
"..."
Qin Muye didn't know what to say.
Li Hong seemed to be much more relaxed: "I will draft an imperial edict later. The death of the retired emperor is a rare happy funeral since the founding of Daqian. After he is buried in the imperial mausoleum, the whole country should remove the mourning clothes and celebrate for three days."
Qin Muye was a little sad: "Okay..."
Li Hong added: "You pay for the celebration!"
Qin Muye: “…”
No?
Are you just thinking about my money?
"Makino! There are a few more things!"
"You say!"
"Buried together with Queen Pu..."
"No problem! I can convince Xing Luo!"
"Emperor Wu's posthumous title..."
"Here you go! If Emperor Wen hadn't been taken, we would have given you Emperor Wen's place."
"After Daqian, it will be handed over to you and Xingluo."
"Don't worry! I promise not to follow the path of killing the Kingdom of God."
"That's good!"
Li Hong stood up tremblingly: "Old Hong! Change your clothes and burn incense to send me off!"
Eunuch Hong wiped the tears from his face and said, "Yes!"
The incense is the soul-soothing incense produced in Nanzhao.
It can help people relieve the pain at the time of death and produce mild hallucinations, allowing the target to recall all the good things they have experienced in their life until the remaining soul burns out.
After changing his clothes, Li Hong just sat on the cushion, looking at Pu Wanjun's spirit tablet quietly.
There was a smile on his lips.
Sometimes tenderness and sometimes youthful vigor flashed in his eyes.
Qin Muye was sitting not far away, not knowing what to say. He could only be thankful that the soul-soothing incense had not expired.
at this point.
He began to understand why Qin Kaijiang treated Li Runyue like his legal wife.
To be honest, he is a vengeful person and has not forgotten the harm Li Hong has caused to his wife.
But when seeing Li Hong off.
But at the same time, I feel like it’s not completely impossible to let go.
He didn't speak.
I didn’t want to interrupt Li Hong’s wonderful carousel before his death.
Just sit there quietly and watch his life slip away.
Time passed bit by bit.
midnight.
Suddenly, three auras appeared in the yard.
Qin Muye looked outside and saw Pu Mingzhu and Li Xingluo, brother and sister.
They all guessed what had happened and their expressions were quite complicated.
Seeing Li Hong in a trance, they did not choose to go into the house.
Just stood outside the door and bowed deeply.
Qin Muye sighed secretly.
This worship.
Only worship the emperor, not relatives.
After worshipping, they just stood there quietly.
Until Li Hong's soul disappeared completely.
At the last moment before the soul dissipated, Li Hong held Pu Wanjun's spirit tablet in his trembling arms, his skinny cheek pressed against the words he had carved on it with his own hands.
She whispered in a very small voice: "Wanjun, I just dreamed that the two children forgave me."
Finished this sentence.
There was no breath anymore.
A faint golden light emanated from between its eyebrows and flew towards the south.
That is the direction of the Imperial Temple, which has been merged into the Xianliang Temple.
From today on, his limited intelligence will always protect his descendants.
……
Three days later, the whole world was in mourning!
Li Hong's funeral was grand.
Almost all the civil and military officials in the court fainted from crying.
Maybe someone inside was just crying politely.
But there is also real emotion.
Anyway.
Shen Kui almost cried himself blind.
Qin Kaijiang was also extremely sad, and his peak war god-level true energy almost went out of control, which frightened all the foreign officials and masters in the city, and they rushed over to watch the ceremony.
A teahouse somewhere.
Looking at the huge funeral procession on the ground and the people wiping tears and mourning along the way.
Yin Yanshu looked a little solemn.
This was the first time she saw the ministers and the people supporting a king so much.
Such a scene has hardly ever appeared even in the Daluo Dynasty.
The temperament of a strong country.
This is definitely the temperament of a strong country.
Even though it has not achieved the status of a fairyland, its upright national character cannot be denied.
Moreover, she had been asking around for information about Qian State's experiences before and after Li Hong ascended the throne in the past few days, so she knew very well why today's funeral was so grand.
More than twenty years.
From near collapse to peak prosperity.
He promised the demon tribe a happy ending in exchange for twenty years of stability for the people.
Although a lot of military expenditure was spent, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment.
Then, with a series of tactics of division and winning over, plus a final decisive battle that took place in an unknown location, the evil official's infiltration over the past 20 years was exposed overnight.
A perfect chess game.
Fortunately, this emperor died. If he had lived a few more years, no one knows how troublesome the country would have become.
"cut……"
Pu Chang couldn't help but sneer: "An emperor of a country bumpkin dynasty actually dares to put on such a big show, as if he has accomplished some great feat!"
Yin Yanshu couldn't help but frowned: "How do you know that he didn't achieve great achievements?"
Pu Chang spread his hands indifferently: "It's just a pill land. Even if they are given time to develop a fairyland, their national strength is not even one-tenth of our Daluo Dynasty. How much can they do?
Look at this specification.
If you don’t know, you might think he is the greatest emperor in history!”
Yin Yanshu: “???”
The world is so small.
No matter who comes, it is impossible to achieve one-tenth of Daluo's national strength, right?
Has this person become stupid from the acupuncture, and the space in his head has been occupied by muscles?
At this moment.
Han Zhen said, "I don't think this emperor is that bad..."
Park Chang snorted, "He's far inferior to our Emperor Sejong!"
Han Zhen nodded in agreement: "I also think that Emperor Sejong is invincible!"
Next.
The two men began to excitedly discuss how powerful their Emperor Sejong was, their voices almost shouting, causing the other people watching the ceremony in the teahouse to glare at them.
If the imperial court had not labeled these foreign officials as extremely dangerous individuals and issued an order not to conflict with them.
I'm afraid they would have started cursing a long time ago.
Park Chang and Han Zhen were not embarrassed at all. They just regarded the public's gaze as admiration and envy of the people of their superior country, and discussed even louder.
Yin Yanshu had a headache, but didn't say much.
Because this is Luo Guoren's habit, she also likes to talk so loudly, but she just doesn't like talking to Park Chang.
And she also felt that Emperor Sejong was very powerful.
But she felt that the old emperor of Qian Kingdom was no less capable, and even stronger.
Because both parties are facing the same problem.
The country's strength is supported by external forces.
Li Hong was able to manipulate the evil officials and the gods' messengers at will.
Although Emperor Shizong of the Daluo Dynasty was a wise ruler who greatly enhanced the country's strength, the fundamental problems were not solved at all, and there was no intention to solve them.
Not only was it impossible to fully control the vassal states, but even the court of Luo State was still influenced by the will of various forces.
She was wondering if Li Hong could do a better job than Emperor Sejong.
But she just thought about it and dismissed the idea.
The Daluo Dynasty is the greatest human dynasty today.
Why did I compare Qian Kingdom with Daluo Dynasty?
but……
One thing is certain, the threat from Qian State is greater than imagined.
Others can ignore this kind of threat.
She can't!
Yin Yanshu's gaze quickly fell on the front of the funeral procession, or to be more precise, on Li Xingluo.
This woman is too pretty.
Although she looks dignified and majestic, she seems to have the demeanor of an empress.
But her intuition told her that this must be a woman who is a pervert to the core.
Don’t say anything else.
Just by looking at her qi and blood, you can tell that her married life must be extremely harmonious.
No wonder she could be so infatuated with Qin Muye and support her to become the empress.
Yin Yanshu has confirmed it.
If you want to control this country, the key lies in the Qin family and his son.
Because even though the Qin family's military power had been disbanded and Annan's integrated military and political power had been disintegrated, it was still the most influential force in the military.
The old emperor is undoubtedly very charismatic. As long as the old emperor is around, the Qin family cannot rebel.
But now the old emperor is gone.
She checked many details and finally came to a shocking conclusion, that is, Li Zhixuan might not have usurped the throne by imperial decree, but fell into the old emperor's last gamble.
If Li Zhixuan can do it well.
He would not give Li Xingluo any chance at all.
in other words.
Li Xingluo is not the best choice, it can even be said that it is just a helpless choice.
Combined with the sudden appearance of the Great Saint Temple...
She didn't know why Li Hong disliked Li Xingluo so much. The situation seemed extremely complicated.
But if we assume that Li Xingluo is the descendant of that group of beggars, then everything makes sense!
But in this case.
It’s hard to explain why Li Xingluo is still sober now.
How can the bloodlines of those sects resist the temptation of vows?
this country.
There is no reason why it cannot become the Kingdom of God!
So why is this?
Yin Yanshu thought of a very powerful explanation. The Qin family was the force that Li Hong left behind to monitor Li Xingluo. He used the Qin family, which had the greatest power to subvert the country, to monitor Li Xingluo, who was the most mentally unstable.
Use marriage to bind them.
In order to secure her throne, Li Xingluo would certainly pretend to be submissive to her husband and forcibly restrain her desire for the ultimate power of will, and persist until the power of the Qin family is completely disintegrated.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Because Li Zhixuan died, after she took over, the policies she implemented were still aimed at undermining the Qin family's military power.
This……
What a ruthless woman!
So much the better!
The two forces of imperial power and military power check and balance each other. The current Qian Kingdom seems stable, but in fact the string is very tight and may break at any time.
As long as you grasp the key issue, you can solve it without bloodshed.
What's the key?
Qin Muye!
As long as Qin Muye is under control, everything will be fine.
What is the key to controlling Qin Muye?
The corners of Yin Yanshu's mouth rose slightly.
Because she thought of a perfect entry point to take down Qin Muye.
Bai Yuji!
This is Qin Muye’s first wife, and she is raising Qin Muye’s only son.
If I were Li Xingluo, would I be able to bear it?
If one day, Bai Yuji and her son were suddenly captured and imprisoned.
And this suspicion happened to fall on Li Xingluo, and I happened to help her rescue the mother and son.
that……
With the support of the Qin family, the Daluo Dynasty will definitely get the biggest piece of the pie!
Yin Yanshu raised her lips slightly, and then looked at Han Zhen: "Has the Jiuxiao Creation Pill been delivered?"
“It’s been delivered!”
Han Zhen quickly said, "It was taken by Li Xingluo's maid Huanxi."
Yin Yanshu showed a satisfied smile.
Last night, she sent Han Zhen to deliver a pill that was said to be nourishing, but it was actually a Jiuxiao Creation Pill.
Taking the Jiuxiao Creation Pill can increase the probability of a peak master breaking through to the God of War level to 70%. However, the medicinal effect needs to be exerted intermittently within a year. Even if a person at the God of War level takes it, it can only improve one small realm and continue to nourish the body.
Li Xingluo is now a top master. After taking the Jiuxiao Creation Pill, as soon as he reaches the bottleneck of the God of War, he will definitely go into seclusion to break through. Then, when he finds that the effect of the medicine cannot keep up, he will come out of seclusion.
By then.
He pretended to be Li Xingluo's man and went to cause trouble for Bai Yuji.
After Qin Muye finds out, he will start to doubt Li Xingluo. Then, when he realizes that Li Xingluo has been in seclusion for such a long time but has not broken through the God of War realm, the seeds of doubt will take root and sprout.
perfect!
Yin Yanshu smiled and said, "Han Zhen, you continue to observe. If Li Xingluo shows any signs of seclusion, notify me immediately!"
"Yes!"
Han Zhen nodded respectfully and watched Yin Yanshu and the other person leave.
Subsequently.
He found a quiet place and rang the communication device: "My Lord, my princess is ready to harm you. I informed you as soon as she left. Do you think I did a good job?"
……
After the state funeral, the mourning clothes in Kyoto were removed and the city turned into a celebration.
Only the imperial tombs still retain the atmosphere of a funeral.
This is also the content of Li Hong's will. After his death, everything will remain the same, and the new emperor will only need three days to see him off.
However, having said that, many civil and military officials volunteered to stay and see him off.
Until three days later.
Li Xingluo announced that he would go into seclusion again to break through to the God of War realm, and let Qin Muye continue to supervise the country.
Not long after the news spread, a person disappeared from the manor where the temporary embassy was located.
……
Nanwu City.
"boom!"
"boom!"
"boom!"
The knock on the door was extremely subtle.
Bai Yuji was immediately delighted. She glanced at her son who had just fallen asleep, tiptoed to the door, and gently opened it.
Seeing Qin Muye looking at him with a smile, he immediately smiled.
She scolded, "The child is asleep, you can just use the communication device to call me, why bother..."
Qin Muye interrupted with a smile: "I think knocking on the door is more ceremonial. I like the feeling of standing in front of the door and waiting for you to open it."
Bai Yuji's eyes became more gentle.
She had always liked listening to his inexplicable words, and she still liked it now.
She bit her red lips lightly: "Then let's go to the isolation...ah!"
A low cry.
Bai Yuji was picked up by the waist.
She hit Qin Muye's arm lightly: "You're going to die!"
Qin Muye smiled without saying anything and carried her to the next room.
Put on the sound insulation.
It was a long-lost fusion of soul and desire.
in fact.
It wasn't particularly long.
A full hour passed.
Bai Yuji half-closed her eyes and nuzzled into Qin Muye's arms: "Didn't the old emperor just pass away? Why did you come here at this time?"
Now that the remnants of Nanzhao were living better and better with the support of Nanwu City, she could not bring herself to address Li Hong in a too disrespectful manner, so she always used "Your Majesty". After Li Hong abdicated, she changed it to "Old Majesty".
Honestly.
She also hoped that Qin Muye would look for her more often.
I was also surprised to see Qin Muye today.
But this timing is still somewhat inappropriate.
Qin Muye grinned: "The main reason is that a little villain will come to find you later, so I have to come here early?"
"Little villain? Who is it? Isn't there a silly fox protecting me?"
"You'll find out later!"
"All right!"
Bai Yuji kissed him lightly on the cheek, then sat up and prepared to get dressed: "Son should wake up in a quarter of an hour, let's go out!"
"Don't!"
Qin Muye grabbed her soft arm: "I'm still thirsty!"
Bai Yuji rolled her eyes at him charmingly: "There's only a quarter of an hour left, play with the kids first and wait until the evening!"
"But I can't wait!"
"Only a quarter of an hour..."
"As long as you perform well and vigorously enough, time is not a problem!"
"you……"
Bai Yuji's eyes also showed a hint of anticipation, but she spat softly: "What a filthy bastard!"
……
Playing with kids is tiring.
Especially when accompanying someone who is particularly naughty.
Obviously, Qin Mubai is it.
Although his physique was much stronger than other children of the same age, he still had to climb up and down a lot, which still made Qin Muye worried, so he escorted him all the way.
It was not until late at night that the boy fell into a deep sleep.
Qin Muye took a long time to recover.
He exchanged glances with Bai Yuji.
A smile flashed in the eyes of both of them, and they left the room tacitly.
But it happened at this time.
A breath of air was approaching quietly.
Qin Muye cursed inwardly, then turned into a hairpin and inserted it into Bai Yuji's hair.
Not a moment later.
A figure landed in the yard.
Bai Yuji looked her up and down and found that she was not the Yin Yanshu that Qin Muye described.
But...
A trace of fear and vigilance suddenly appeared on her face. She glared at the other party and said fiercely, "Li Xingluo! What are you looking for me for? Aren't you afraid that Muye will know? Can you afford the consequences?"
The corners of Yin Yanshu's mouth rose slightly.
It seems that I was right!

Brothers, take a short break today.
I sprained my waist yesterday, and the pain was unbearable when I was typing.
I am short of 3,000 words today, and I will update more in the next two days to make up for it.
