Chapter 11 Change of Dynasty
Su Chen turned back to the library.
This night passed.
Everything is settled.
However, the imperial city is destined to no longer be peaceful, and countless powerful people involved will lose their families and lives.
The sky is bright.
Su Chen was awakened by a smell of blood in the library.
In the courtyard, Zhang Gui was standing, quietly watching the several herbs planted by Su Chen take root and sprout, and new green branches emerge under the thick white snow.
“Are the herbs ripe?”
Su Chen was somewhat delighted.
After all, this second-grade Heart-Eating Powder is his most powerful weapon.
"You weren't arrested?"
Su Chen was a little bit unbelievable.
No matter what, Zhang Gui, as the deputy chief eunuch of the Imperial Palace, participated in the palace change last night. Even if he was hiding his whereabouts, it would still be easy to settle accounts with him.
"The old emperor doesn't have much time left to live."
Zhang Gui suddenly spoke.
Su Chen was very confused.
Last night, the rebellions of the two princes were suppressed. With the Purple Robe First Warden around, how could the old emperor...
"Hei Yuan took action?"
Su Chen looked at Zhang Gui inquiringly.
"Yes."
"The old emperor, in the imperial study, his demonic heart was pierced and he has returned to his dying state. I'm afraid he will die today."
"This is a great gift from Heiyuan to the two princes."
"But I didn't expect that the Purple Robe First Supervisor could actually kill the strongest person in this generation of the Tianshi Mansion, the top-level Ziwei Taoist, and the two princes were also killed..."
"Now, the First Chief Steward and the Second Red Robe Master have gone to see the new emperor..."
The old emperor is dying.
This was something no one had expected. Even the purple-robed First Supervisor who was so brave last night and slashed out with the wind and snow sword to kill the top-level first-rank official probably did not expect this result.
However, the two princes in white robes with dragon patterns had been killed.
There is no new emperor in the imperial city...
"some."
Perhaps guessing Su Chen's doubts, Zhang Gui sighed and gave a slight hint. Su Chen instantly remembered the noble young man who once wanted to ask for the recipe from him.
"Seven princes?"
Zhang Gui left.
He is also going to support the new emperor.
No one knows whether it is sincere or false.
At least, peace returned to the library.
"What does the ebb and flow of the tide have to do with me?"
"I hope that this spike of grass will never be of use to me."
Su Chen dug out the herbs and injected three streams of immortality true qi into the main ingredients of two portions of Heart-Eating Powder. In a blink of an eye, a century-old precious medicine was born.
And then.
The second and third bottles of Heart-Eating Powder appeared.
at the same time.
Su Chen clearly felt that the recovery speed of the immortality qi in his body had slowed down a lot.
"So as the immortality qi is used, the speed of recovering new immortality qi will become slower and slower?"
Su Chen didn't care. He had a long life and could recover his immortal qi.
In a blink of an eye.
A few more days passed.
There was no news of the new emperor ascending the throne or the old emperor passing away.
On the contrary, Su Chen's "Six-foot Golden Body Technique" has reached the late stage of the fifth level, which is seven times the level of qi and blood in the flesh and blood realm of a martial arts prodigy. The surging qi and blood seem to want to boil and burn.
Even though Su Chen searched through all the ancient books, he could not find any record of such a situation.
Even the old demon Gu Jue did not seem to have such abnormalities when he was in the fifth realm.
It seemed that he was the only one in this fifth level, the flesh and blood realm. Winter was finally over.
In the twenty-fourth year of Tianwu, it was the first day of February.
A whole month had passed since the palace change that night, and the world had changed.
"The new emperor ascends the throne!"
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
Dozens of miles away, Su Chen looked at the Golden Palace from afar and seemed to be able to see the bewildered Seventh Prince sitting on the throne, enduring the kneeling worship of all the ministers in the hall.
He is just a puppet.
Because he did not get the recognition of the Purple Robe First Supervisor, the world's top-ranking official.
But the change of dynasties is real.
The concubines of the former emperor who should have been banished to the cold palace were now banished to the cold palace, and those who should have been executed to accompany the late emperor were now here to accompany the late emperor.
The harem became much quieter.
But it won't be long before new beauties enter the palace and become beauties, concubines, royal concubines, or even queens.
"None of this has anything to do with me."
Su Chen started fiddling with the flowers and plants again.
Of course they are all poisonous flowers and weeds.
"Master Su."
Xu Xiaohan walked into the library.
Concubine Zhang has long become a thing of the past.
But without the Fifth Prince, there is still Concubine Zhang as a backer. She is a third-rank master and the deputy chief steward of the Imperial Palace. Such a young Zhang Gui has already grown into a mountain in herself.
Zhang Gui was promoted again.
It's not really a promotion. The red-robed steward who is in charge of all matters of the Shangwu Bureau has committed a crime. Now all matters of the Shangwu Bureau, big or small, are controlled by Zhang Gui.
Even Xu Xiaohan became high-spirited.
He was dressed in a blue steward's uniform, with a group of black eunuchs following behind him, looking at Su Chen with fear. They were obviously puzzled as to why a eunuch dressed in black could make their steward Xu so respectful.
"Has the new emperor's reign title not been established yet?"
Su Chen wiped his mouth. His appetite had become more sophisticated recently. He was not interested in the wide variety of meat dishes and only tasted a few vegetarian dishes.
"That person doesn't allow..."
Xu Xiaohan spoke in a low voice.
The first purple robe supervisor.
Now, he has almost become an emperor above all other emperors.
The old emperor could still suppress him, but the new emperor is too immature. A dissolute prince who only knows how to indulge in romance and never accomplish anything got the throne inexplicably.
How can we take back the power from the hands of the world's top leader?
"Back off, I need to rest."
"When there is time, ask Zhang Gui to collect some seeds of exotic flowers and plants for me."
"I know."
"After the Fifth Prince died, the perfume and soap businesses all went into his hands. He is undoubtedly the richest businessman in Daliang. I won't give him any money or anything."
Su Chen gave two instructions.
This made the newly-entered eunuchs following Xu Xiaohan in the courtyard tremble with fear.
Eunuch Zhang Gui is almost a palace eunuch.
This person actually dared to speak like this, and he was wearing a black robe. It seemed that he had no cultivation or power at all.
Aren’t you afraid of death?
"Yes."
"Master Su, do you have anyone you like who can serve you?"
Xu Xiaohan signaled to Su Chen to choose one of the new eunuchs behind him, but Su Chen shook his hand and refused. He didn't like anyone being in the library, and he didn't like anyone staying with him.
After all, he has too many secrets.
Xu Xiaohan took the young eunuchs away.
"Eunuch Xu, who is this person? What a grand scene! I think he is just Xuanse. He is obviously at the bottom of the society like us..."
A young eunuch asked a question.
"Do not ask."
"You only need to know that Master Su thought it was easy for him to get the deputy manager's green and red robes. It's a pity that Master Su didn't like you. You missed the chance to soar to the sky."
