The day before the ceremony, Duke Li from the palace came to Prince Rui's residence and said that the emperor wanted to see Prince Rui, so he specially sent someone to invite him into the palace to talk.
Nangong Yan feels inexplicable. There should be nothing to say between them.
Duke Li held the dust in his hand and said in a sharp voice, "the king's slave is just a messenger. The emperor said if you don't want to go."
It seems that Nangong Xuan is also very self-conscious. Nangong Yan just wanted to say no, but suddenly thought of Ji Qingxue's saying that his life was not long, so he said in a deep voice: "I know. When I change my clothes, I will follow you into the palace."
Duke Li nodded: "the servant is waiting outside."
When nangongyan returned to the star picking Pavilion, he saw Ji Qingxue teasing the snow on the bed.
"Ah Xue." Nangong Yan stood there for a moment before entering the house, "I may have to go into the palace. If I come back late, you'll go to bed first and don't wait for me."
Ji Qingxue turned to look at him and wondered, "what happened in the palace?"
"No." Nangong Yan shook his head, "he said he wants to see me. I want to see him. It doesn't matter."
Ji Qingxue smiled and said, "go early and return early."
Nangong Yan's eyes were full of tenderness, and his voice was unconsciously lowered: "OK, I must go early and return early."
Nangong Yan didn't go to the Moon Palace after entering the palace. He couldn't help feeling a little strange: "this is not the way to the Moon Palace."
Duke Li showed him the way. He leaned over and said, "the emperor is not in the Mingyue palace. Please come here."
Jain tower.
This is the tallest building in the whole imperial palace. Standing on the roof, you can bring the whole Kyoto into your eyes, but it is a forbidden area of the imperial palace. No one is allowed to enter except the emperor.
Nangong Yan also wondered why he chose such a place.
Duke Li took Nangong Yan to the door, consciously stepped back, bent over and saluted, "the Lord is not a place where slaves can go. The emperor is waiting for you inside. Please go in."
Nangong Yan is a mist now, but he can't go back when he comes, so he pushed the door and went in.
There was nothing in it. The lamp next to it was slightly on. Nangong Xuan stood in the center and looked at him silently: "you're still coming."
Nangong Yan said calmly, "you asked me to come here. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Nangong Xuan turned and picked up the torch to light the remaining lamps. After a while, he asked, "do you know why I treat your mother like that?"
Maybe it was just a thing of the past for him, so when he mentioned it, he could look like there were no waves.
For a long time, Nangong Yan spit out three words coldly: "immortal medicine."
All emperors wanted to live forever and had this dream, but the dream was to wake up after all. Heaven and earth cycle, four seasons are orderly, and who can really live forever.
After a while, all the remaining lamps in Nangong Xuan were lit. He blew out the fire. Then he said to Nangong Yan, "I really want to talk to you today. Come with me."
Then Nangong Xuan grabbed one of the lamps and moved to the left. At this time, a secret path appeared in front of them.
Nangong Xuan went down first. Nangong Yan had doubts on his face, but he still followed up. He had a hunch that there might be a shocking secret in the depths of the secret way.
Nangong Xuan came to an underground city, which was dark. After Nangong Xuan lit the lights inside, Nangong Yan was deeply shocked by the scene he saw in front of him.
There are rows of beds here, which can accommodate at least 100 people, and there is a small table on the right where you can see. There are a lot of medicinal materials on it. Everything here emits a pungent smell, which makes people feel sick.
What makes Nangong Yan feel very uncomfortable is the countless cages hanging in the air, and the people in the cages are very scary, like monsters born in the dark. If ordinary people saw these, they would have been scared out.
"Here is..."
Nangong Xuan said faintly, "I spent nearly three years building this underground city. This is the place to study immortal medicine."
Nangong Yan was shocked in his heart, but he didn't understand the voice and color on the surface: "is the person in the cage the object of your experiment?"
Nangong Xuan seemed very disdainful: "they are just failed experiments."
If you look closely at the people in the cage, it's normal that they lack arms and legs. Some people's whole face is festered, and some have strange shapes. They look like demons in hell, all of which are caused by undead medicine.
"I wanted to get a complete prescription for immortality, so I forced your mother imperial concubine like that. But I didn't expect that she would rather die than hand over the complete prescription."
Speaking of this, Nangong Xuan began to gnash his teeth. He didn't understand. He handed over the prescription and asked him to create more undead troops. In this way, Dayan will be invincible and invincible.
When he unified the world, he would make her the queen. Why not? But she refused to give herself the prescription.
"If she were willing to help me, I might have dominated the world." she kept saying that she loved herself, but she didn't have reservations about herself, so this woman's words can't be trusted.
Nangong Yan looked at the rather unwilling expression on Nangong Xuan's face and said calmly, "have you ever thought that this prescription is incomplete."
The immortal prescription was incomplete. The prescription Chu Yushang gave to Nangong Xuan was all she knew. She didn't cheat Nangong Xuan. Nangong Xuan didn't believe it all the time.
Nangong Yan's words made Nangong Xuan's face show a stunned expression. He murmured in a low voice: "originally it was incomplete?"
"When ah Xue and I were in the Wuling family, I heard her grandfather say that this undead medicine has always been banned. It is precisely because of its incompleteness that it will cause greater harm to the human body. That woman just doesn't want you to commit any more sins."
"Unexpectedly... Is that so?" Nangong Xuan suddenly became a little trance.
"I think she should have told you and advised you, but you won't believe her and go your own way. Such medicine can't succeed."
Nangong Xuan suddenly looked up with a strange look: "who said, although I haven't been able to develop a complete undead army, I haven't got nothing. Do you think I really only train those waste eagle eyes?"
Looking at the empty underground city, Nangong Yan suddenly felt flustered. The quilt on the bed still had very messy marks, indicating that someone had been living here all the time.
So... What about the people living here?
Nangong Yan suddenly stared at the people in front of him, and his voice trembled: "where are the people here?"
Nangong xuanjie smiled: "it seems you found it."
Nangong Yan became more and more flustered. He forced himself to calm down: "you said you wanted to see me today. You just wanted to find a reason to keep me away, didn't you?"
"Yes." this was his purpose, and there was nothing to hide.
"You let the people here go to Prince Rui's house?"
At this time, Nangong Xuan still said, "I do all this for you, Yan'er. You will become the overlord of the world."
Nangong Yan took a long breath, and then clenched his fist. His voice was as cold as ice: "if anything happens to ah Xue, I will go with her. At this moment, I really hate my Nangong surname and your blood in my body."
Then Nangong Yan turned and ran away. Ah Xue, you must wait for me.
