Seeing this,

Marquis Zheng immediately stepped forward,

Picked up Tiantian in his arms,

And anxiously asked;

"Are you alright?"

"......Grandma."

At this moment,

After seeing this scene,

Hu Bamei was stunned for a moment, then was about to rush up, but Xue San grabbed her wrist.

After all, a married daughter is like spilled water; moreover, Bamei's brain has always been a bit lacking. After struggling for a bit and finding that she couldn't break free,

She stopped struggling.

On the other side,

A'Da, seeing that his grandma's face was covered in blood, immediately let out an angry roar. He thought it was Zheng Fan who was trying to harm his grandma, so he rushed straight towards Zheng Fan.

Previously,

Fan Li, who had shared pancakes, stewed potato mud, and bought a lot of food on the street with A'Da,

Unhesitatingly threw a punch, hitting A'Da directly in the abdomen.

At such a close distance, such a sudden attack,

Even the strongest master would inevitably suffer a setback and be unable to defend,

A'Da was directly knocked off balance by Fan Li's punch. His body twitched, and he bent over.

Fan Li unhesitatingly followed up with an elbow strike, slamming it hard on A'Da's back.

"Bang!"

A'Da was knocked to the ground.

Finally,

Fan Li reached out and scratched his head, smiling with a simple and honest expression.

He raised his foot,

And stepped on the back of his newly recognized good brother.

Si Niang helped Grandma up and first tested her pulse. It was very weak and erratic.

At this moment, Si Niang forcibly inserted a silver needle into the back of Grandma's head. The end of the silver needle was connected to a silk thread, which was wrapped around Si Niang's fingertips. As her fingertips trembled slightly, the silver needle also trembled.

"Hoo..."

The originally listless Grandma suddenly took a long breath, her eyes opening wide in horror.

Si Niang flicked out a medicinal pill. This pill had no effect on ordinary people, but at critical moments, it could consolidate the foundation, meaning that when you were hanging on by a thread, it could maintain your life.

The pill entered her stomach,

Si Niang said in a low voice:

"Calm your mind and spirit, close your six senses, and sleep for three days to escape danger."

Grandma immediately did as she was told, and instantly wilted.

Seeing this, Si Niang pulled out the silver needle, retracted the silk thread, and shouted to Xue San;

"Place her on the bed and feed her some porridge for the next few days."

Marquis Zheng, holding Tiantian, after confirming that Tiantian was alright, turned around and looked at Grandma's situation,

Then he asked Si Niang;

"What happened?"

Si Niang replied: "Perhaps too many great experts and too many forces have left marks on Tiantian's body or fate. When the old woman was reading her fortune earlier, she was essentially pulling on all aspects of her Qi at once, and suffered the reactions of those presences.

Causing the old woman's Qi to become chaotic,

It's not a big problem,

She won't die."

Zheng Fan nodded.

The foundation of a person is the physical body. Martial artists are actually a cultivation path that constantly pursues the strengthening of the physical body;

Outside the physical body is the divine sense, which is the path that qi refiners and Daoists like to take, pursuing the strength of the inner self;

Beyond that,

Mysterious and profound,

Is called Qi dynamic,

It can exist, it can also not exist. Those who can sense it cannot show it to others;

If you say it's useful, it's quite useful. If you say it's useless, it doesn't seem wrong.

Just like when Zang Fuzi entered Yanjing to cut off the Great Yan's dragon vein,

Did it have any immediate effect?

But those who can participate in it will inevitably be affected by it in the dark.

The heir of the Prince of Jingnan,

Is an uncertain chess piece in the political situation of Great Yan,

Back then, Du Juan died on Tianhu Mountain, but she cut open her belly before going up the mountain, leaving behind Tian Wujing's嫡di son.

Any normal person understands the impact that the existence of this child will have on the Jingnan Army.

And those who care about this child are not only the Yan people, but also some existences from other countries and other forces.

Because at this time, the Yan Kingdom already possessed the strength to subvert the entire East, or rather...勢 shi (momentum)!

The old woman entered it, became involved in it, and then suffered a backlash. From the perspective of a hindsight strategist, it is actually not difficult to understand.

Xue San carried the old woman on his back,

And sighed;

"Alas, the happy event hasn't even been held yet, and we almost had to hold a funeral first."

Fan Li on the side said:

"A happy funeral."

……

Yanjing,

The Imperial Palace.

A small sedan chair left the palace gate.

In an instant, this news began to quickly spread to the desks of some people in Yanjing City.

Even though disasters are frequent now, even though the "people living in misery" are visible to the naked eye, no one can deny that the current Great Yan is the most powerful country in the entire East.

The emperor of this country also has the most powerful authority in history.

But,

He,

Is old!

Old age not only means the decay of the physical body, but also has a sense of "ending."

In fact, after the emperor entered the rear garden for recuperation, although on the surface, he was still the supreme ruler, and his will was still the most powerful thunder in this country;

But in some details,

Some gaps have inevitably appeared.

When the wise and martial emperor "ages," even the ministers and subordinates who are loyal to him will instinctively begin to look for the next ship.

Even if they still maintain their absolute loyalty, what about their subordinates?

This is a situation that no one can control or solve, not even the emperor himself.

He can now mobilize a garrison outside the capital to directly wash a minister's residence in blood,

But cannot stop,

The various yamen under him from beginning to show signs of change.

The red-robed eunuch was the closed-door disciple left behind by the Palace Grandfather before he went to Tianhu Mountain.

However, unlike that Palace Grandfather, this red-robed eunuch did not inherit any official position. He seemed to only be responsible for managing his belongings in the palace where that Palace Grandfather used to live, and for making that rice cake at a fixed time each year.

The red-robed eunuch left the palace and went to the rear garden.

The Crown Prince of the East Palace glanced at the person kneeling in front of him to report, and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.

And Ji Chengjue, who had just returned from the Ministry of Revenue, holding his son, smiled after seeing this note and threw it into the candle next to him.

Many people knew about this, but almost everyone chose to pretend they didn't know.

Because, on this matter alone, it is impossible to take any action at all.

Around midnight,

The red-robed eunuch took the sedan chair and returned to the palace.

There was a curfew in the palace, but he had a token, so the palace gate guards opened the gate and let him in.

This action actually showed a mentality of not fearing being known.

However, the lake surface of Yanjing had been forcibly silenced for too long by the oppressive atmosphere from the rear garden, and after the war against Chu, most people's minds had also returned;

Therefore,

Even the slightest disturbance is particularly noticeable.

Everyone is restraining themselves,

One is because His Majesty is still here,

As long as that being can still open his eyes,

He doesn't even need to speak,

Just a look is enough to make everyone in Great Yan lower their heads.

On the other hand, it is no longer a secret that the two great princes and two great marquises are entering the capital.

Some people are helpless about this, such as Ji Laoliu's faction;

Some people are rejoicing, and that is the Crown Prince Party;

And many people are a little depressed.

The merit of supporting the dragon seems dangerous, but frankly speaking, the only options available are the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, fifty-fifty;

Who doesn't want to flex their muscles and earn wealth for themselves and their families for the next Jiazi cycle (60 years)?

But,

When those two princes and marquises enter the capital,

Everything will probably be settled, and everyone really has no sense of existence, so naturally there will be no chance.

However,

This is just the surface phenomenon,

Behind the scenes,

There will always be wind,

Blowing silently,

The wind comes and goes without a trace.

………

The red-robed eunuch personally pushed open the palace gate and returned to the palace.

Inside the palace,

It is very empty,

An alchemy furnace that hasn't been opened for a long time, a small kitchen, and the rest are filled with bookshelves.

This place retains the original appearance of when the Palace Grandfather was here.

The red-robed eunuch first closed his eyes, then took a breath, and then slowly opened his eyes, looking at the rice cake placed on the chopping board that he had cooked before leaving but hadn't cut open.

The little eunuch shook his head,

And said;

"In this world, many people can come and go without leaving a trace. Their methods can be extremely clever, but I didn't leave any restrictions in this palace, nor did I leave any strands of hair.

Before I left,

I steamed a rice cake here,

The door of the palace was opened, or the window was opened, or the tiles were lifted,

In short,

Someone came in,

Because,

The fragrance of the rice cake

Is a little bit fainter than when I came back."

As soon as the red-robed eunuch finished speaking,

Two gray shadows appeared in the northwest and southeast corners of the palace.

This is a technique of qi refiners, Mirror Flower, Water Moon, to hide themselves;

This is the imperial city,

And the techniques of qi refiners are being used,

Meaning that these two shadows are likely to be eunuchs in the palace, and even, judging by these methods, they must be red-robed grand eunuchs at least.

Moreover,

They seem,

Not to have come from the same path, but are coincidentally the same.

The little eunuch did not go up to break the restrictions of the two,

Appearing very calm,

He sat down cross-legged,

Reached out,

And lifted the chopping board,

Inside, there was a groove. In the groove, there was a booklet separated by a piece of parchment.

"I won't ask you which family you are from, nor will I ask who is standing behind you.

But,

I probably know what you want to find;

Actually,

I don't need to cherish this thing, especially for you.

Because I know that those who are most afraid of this matter being publicized are actually the masters behind you.

Want to see?

Want to know?

Even,

Want it?

Feel free to say it directly,

I am young,

Maybe before entering the palace,

I even called you two Grandfather, Ancestor. Perhaps one of you has touched my head and asked me... if my body felt lighter?

Hehe,

Want to see it?

Take it then."

The red-robed eunuch reached out and threw the booklet up,

It landed,

Opened,

On that page,

Only a short line was written,

Yet it was so shocking:

In the spring of the fifth year of Jingzheng, a gentle south wind came, and azaleas bloomed.
