Chapter 31 Return to the Palace
The imperial palace is heavily guarded, with a sentry every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. There are also royal guards patrolling back and forth, searching for traitors who may be hiding in the palace!

"Hurry up and support us! There are rebels trying to break through the gate and escape from the palace..."

Light and fire signals shot up into the sky.

A team of guards passed by Su Chen quickly. Soon, bursts of screams were heard. Several heroes and demons were dragged out and hacked to death.

There are three guards in the imperial city.

Secret guards, royal guards, and assassination guards.

Now that the dust has settled, let's go out together to defend the Daliang Palace.

"There are so many rebels. The palace is really dangerous right now."

Beside Su Chen, the dark-colored eunuch who cursed and killed the guards couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes."

Su Chen also agreed, without any awareness at all that he was the number one traitor and was being wanted.

soon.

Familiar with the imperial palace, Su Chen rushed to Qianyun Palace, which was the residence of Empress Dugu. Princess Yunyang grew up with Empress Dugu, so naturally she also lived here.

"I'm here to deliver the palace badge. The things the princess is going to buy are here."

Su Chen came to the steward's office to deliver the items.

at this time.

Inside Qianyun Palace, there were faint angry roars.

"Bastard!"

"A bunch of trash."

"A third-rank marrow-washing master slaughtered three thousand of my warriors, and in front of the queen, he was allowed to carry out the corpse of the purple-robed eunuch Zhang Gui so brazenly?"

"You are just a top third rank, and the whole country has searched for you, but there is no trace of you at all? Are you here to do nothing?"

"Ahem...the reputation of Daliang is about to be shattered to pieces by these two dog eunuchs!"

In Qianyun Palace.

The Jianwu Emperor, whose face was pale, weak, but extremely angry, was pointing at the red-robed officials of the imperial palace and the three guards commanders in the room and shouting and cursing at them.

The three guard commanders all felt aggrieved and couldn't help but make excuses.

"Your Majesty, this thief Su, who turned wind and rain into swords, is only a third-rank master, but he already has some of the aura of a first-rank junior master! Not to mention that I'm waiting, even a second-rank master may not be able to stop him..."

"not to mention."

"Three days have passed. I'm afraid this thief has already escaped, like a dragon entering the sea. I don't know where in the nine counties of the world he has gone..."

"not to mention."

"Now there are rebellions in all nine counties of the world..."

Jianwu became increasingly angry.

"Go find it!"

"You must search all nine counties to get this thief's head back to me! I will also have Zhang Gui torn into pieces by five horses. I trusted him so much..."

The roar of Emperor Jianwu made the eunuchs and guards outside the Qianyun Palace dare not even breathe.

Outside Qianyun Palace.

After Su Chen completed the task, he left.

Along the way.

He has already found out.

Xu Ge, that is, the eunuch he pretended to be, was a young black eunuch in the Imperial Palace Pharmacy. After completing his task, he could go directly back to the pharmacy to take care of the herbs.

I'm afraid no one could have imagined it.

He, Su Chen, the world's number one traitor, actually turned around and sneaked into the palace again.

Emperor Jianwu probably could not have imagined that Su Chen, whom he wanted to get rid of as soon as possible, was just separated from him by a door.

It didn't take long.

Emperor Jianwu drove away from Qianyun Palace.

On the carriage.

Emperor Jianwu, who was about thirty years old, started coughing violently and even coughed out pieces of his internal organs. His eyes were gloomy and his expression became more and more angry.

"This body is dying."

"It looks like the throne will be replaced again..."

"Fortunately, the offspring I left behind are fine."

He looked in the distance in the direction of the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace, where his son and daughter were. ...

……

The palace pharmacy occupies a large area and is located in a relatively remote area. It was originally under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Medical Bureau, but many chores were outsourced to the eunuchs in the palace. It has its own medicine field, responsible for growing some simple medicinal herbs.

"Boy, you are not dead."

The person in charge of the pharmacy's chores was an old eunuch wearing a green robe, not a proper blue-robed manager.

His name is Chen Ge.

She had been in the palace for fifty years and had gone through four dynasties, including Emperor Liang Yu, Emperor Tianwu, Emperor Fei and Emperor Jianwu. Although she had no spiritual power, she was very experienced and lived a comfortable life in the pharmacy.

"Since you are not dead, give up the fantasy of currying favor with Princess Yunyang. There are not so many opportunities. Do you think you are Zhang Gui and can be appreciated and soar to the sky in an instant?"

Chen Ge said in a sarcastic tone.

Su Chen nodded obediently.

Subsequently.

Thus began my days at the palace pharmacy.

The only eunuch in charge of the palace pharmacy was the old eunuch Chen Ge, and his two other eunuchs, none of whom had any cultivation and were not taken seriously by the palace at all. The pharmacy had not been closed down because the emperors had changed too frequently in recent years and no one had taken care of it.

It is called the palace pharmacy, but when a real noble falls ill, they will directly contact the Imperial Medical Bureau. Their pharmacy is for treating ordinary eunuchs of low status who have headaches and fevers.

"Has this kid changed his personality? He actually started working peacefully in the pharmacy."

Chen Ge was a little surprised, then nodded.

"Alright."

"An ordinary eunuch must have the consciousness of an ordinary eunuch. If you don't have the talent for cultivation, following a nobleman will lead to your own death."

"Good job."

"I don't have many years left to live, but I regard you as the true successor. When the time comes, you can wear a green robe and live a comfortable life in this palace even if you can run a pharmacy."

Chen Ge, with a head full of white hair, patted Su Chen, who was dispensing medicine for a sick eunuch, and patted his shoulder.

"Yes."

"Mr. Chen, I have figured it out."

"It's too dreamy to be a prominent figure. It's better to run a pharmacy."

Su Chen's smiling face.

The palace is now in turmoil and undercurrents. Although this pharmacy is not taken seriously, it is the perfect place to hide.

The seventh year of Jianwu passed quickly.

Spring passes and autumn comes.

Year by year.

Time passed, and soon it was the ninth year of Jianwu.

now.

Emperor Jianwu's health was getting worse day by day.

Among the nine counties in the world, three counties on the border directly fell apart and broke away from the control of Daliang. They became independent in the hands of the remnants of the three major factions in the martial arts world and the aristocratic families with ulterior motives.

A county in the north directly established itself as the State of You.

A county in the south was swallowed up by Daliang's neighboring country, Da Zhou.

There is another county in the southwest, which has become a chaotic place where Daliang, Dazhou, and Youguo are struggling.

The tenth year of Jianwu.

Heavy snow fell and swept across the palace.

"It's just a little cold. Take these medicines for three days in a row, and you will be cured..."

"Thank you Mr. Xu!"

The young eunuch thanked him profusely.

Su Chen sent away the last eunuch who came to treat the patient, stood up and looked towards the direction of the imperial study.

just now.

A team of guards escorted the luxurious carriage towards the imperial study. Su Chen could vaguely see that the person sitting in the carriage was the prince who was only thirteen years old.

"It seems that Emperor Jianwu is going to 'pass on the throne'."

"Three years have passed."

"He finally couldn't bear it anymore!"
