"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Bad news! Butler Zhao … Butler Zhao, he … "
Not long after his conversation with Li Junxian, Li Er was preparing to leave Ganlu Palace to rest in the rear palace when a young eunuch came running over, shouting at him as he ran.
Li Er stopped in his tracks, looked at the young eunuch, and asked in a deep voice, "Zhao Song? What happened to him? "
The eunuch panted and quickly replied, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Zhao … he … he seems to have gone berserk due to improper training! Right now, his room is like a furnace and no one dares to go near it! "
Li Er was shocked and said, "There's such a thing? Quickly summon Wang Jian and Wang Gang to the Minister of Internal Affairs! "
If something had happened to other eunuchs, Li Er would not be so concerned. But Zhao Song was different. Putting aside his martial arts, Zhao Song was an old man by his side. He had been by his side ever since he was still the King of Qin. It had been almost five to six years.
It was said that the Emperor was heartless, but that also depended on the person and the time. Right now, Li Er was not willing to see something happen to Zhao Song.
"Yes! Your Majesty! "
The eunuch had the ability to observe people's expressions. He could see Li Er's anxiety and quickly bowed in response before going to pass on the decree.
Li Er frowned and ordered the eunuch beside him, "Prepare the carriage for the Minister of Internal Affairs!"
…
In the west of the palace, there was a short building complex. That was the Yeting Palace. It was where the palace maids and the family members of the officials who committed crimes lived. To the north of the Yeting Palace was Taicang and to the south was the Minister of Internal Affairs, where all the eunuchs lived!
When Li Er hurried over from Taiji Palace, the two eunuchs he summoned were already there. They were middle-aged men in their forties and fifties and wore loose white robes. They had an elegant demeanor and stood out from the crowd. When the two of them saw Li Er, they quickly walked over and bowed, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Although the two of them were highly skilled in martial arts, but no matter how powerful they were, they could not surpass the secular imperial power. Especially in the face of Li Er, this powerful and iron-blooded Emperor, they did not dare to have a trace of neglect.
Li Er nodded and asked directly, "How is Zhao Song now? Why don't the two of you go in and help? "
One of the men with slightly darker skin cupped his hands and smiled bitterly. "Your Majesty, before you came, the two of us had already checked on Steward Zhao's situation. It's not that we don't want to help, it's just that our abilities are limited and we can't help!"
Li Er was shocked when he heard that. He said in surprise, "Even the two of you can't help?"
The other consecrator shook his head helplessly and said, "Your Majesty, Head Steward Zhao's martial cultivation is already slightly higher than both of us. Now that the vital energy in his body is rampaging wildly, if we want to use external forces to help, we must find a martial arts expert who can completely suppress the vital energy in Head Steward Zhao's body. However, only a Great Grandmaster can do this. With the strength of both of us, if we rashly intervene, we will only harm Head Steward Zhao ~! The only thing we can do now is to see if Manager Zhao can make it through! "
"Great Grandmaster ~?"
When Li Er heard that, he couldn't help but frown deeper. There were only three recognized Great Grandmaster experts in the world — Spiritual Master Ling Xu of the Celestial Master Sect of Longhu Mountain, Abbot Xuan Kong of the Shaolin Temple, and Tujue Nation Master Wu Jie. Now, one of the two Great Grandmasters in the Central Plains was gone, leaving only Abbot Xuan Kong of the Shaolin Temple. If Li Er gave an order, Xuan Kong would definitely do him a favor. However, was there really enough time?
Li Er, who sat on the world and had hundreds of thousands of soldiers in his hands, was at a loss at this moment.
"Wang Jian ~! Zhao Song was fine before. How did he suddenly become like this ~? "
After thinking for a while, Li Er frowned and asked.
"This …"
The two consecrators of the imperial family looked at each other. Finally, the slightly darker and older consecrator stepped forward and cupped his hands.
"Your Majesty, Manager Zhao's meridians are full of Genuine Qi. At first glance, it seems to be a sign of a breakthrough. However, the total amount of Genuine Qi in Manager Zhao's body is definitely not enough for him to break through to the Great Grandmaster realm. After thinking about it, I feel that the violent Genuine Qi in Manager Zhao's body seems to have been formed after being forcibly compressed before suddenly going out of control ~!"
Li Er was stunned. He suddenly remembered the lie Li Zexuan told in the imperial court after he destroyed the Seven Cultivators of Virtue Sect.
Seeing Li Er's gloomy face, Wang Jian thought that he had said something wrong and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, it was just my humble opinion. I don't think Manager Zhao would do such a thing without common sense ~!"
Li Er's face darkened and he said in a deep voice, "No, you're right. Zhao Song really did do such a thing without common sense ~!"
Previously, Li Zexuan mentioned the Genuine Qi bomb in the imperial court and told a big lie to deceive everyone. Later, only the two of them knew about the gunpowder. Zhao Song didn't know about it, which led to the current situation.
Li Er was really anxious and annoyed now.
"Ah ~?"
Wang Jian and Wang Gang were dumbfounded. They never thought that this unreliable guess would become the truth.
"I'll go in and take a look ~!"
Li Er thought for a while and was about to enter the house.
Wang Jian was shocked and hurriedly stopped him, "Your Majesty, you can't ~! Manager Zhao is not conscious at the moment and his Genuine Qi is still in a violent state. It's very likely that he will accidentally hurt Your Majesty. Besides, this house is very hot at the moment. Your Majesty shouldn't go in ~! "
"Your Majesty's body is priceless. Please think twice ~!"
The accompanying eunuchs and maids stopped him in unison.
Li Er was helpless. He sighed and said, "Then you two stay here and take good care of him. You must protect Zhao Song's life ~! When he wakes up, inform me as soon as possible ~! "
Wang Jian and Wang Gang naturally cupped their hands and said yes.
…
Qin Mansion.
Although it was late at night, it was still brightly lit.
"Zhuang Qi, why hasn't Master come out yet? He's been in there for almost a day ~! "
Outside a house in the backyard of Qin Mansion, a group of anxious people gathered. There was Madam Qin, Qin Huaiyu, and the maids, servants, and guards in the mansion. At this moment, Madam Qin glanced at the tightly shut door and asked the burly man beside her with a worried expression.
Zhuang Qi was not sure himself, but he still forced himself to be calm and said, "Madam Qin, don't worry.
Master's body has been getting better day by day for the past few months. Ever since he started practicing Tai Chi, his old injuries have been recovering faster and faster. It must be a good thing that he suddenly went into seclusion today. Who knows, maybe Master will be able to recover to his peak strength this time ~! "
Madam Qin wiped the sweat on her forehead and sighed, "I only hope that Master can be healthy. As for the strength of his martial arts, I don't care about it ~!"
At this moment, Qin Huaiyu came over and patted Madam Qin's shoulder, comforting her, "Mother ~! Father will be fine ~! Go back to your room and rest ~! I'll stay here and guard ~! "
