Volume 1: The Swordsman of the East Chapter 53: Torture from the Emperor
"What protection? I need your protection?"
"And you leaked the plan. I was the one who proposed this plan!"
Inside Chuxiu Palace, Dongfang Qing muttered to himself.
But think about it, it does make sense. The emperor only has four great spies under his command, who are barely capable enough.
Only four people, plus Princess Yunluo, are needed to complete this plan, so he is not needed for the time being.
It is natural for the emperor to worry about the plan being leaked.
After all, this is a huge event. If we win, everything will be easy.
Once you fail, there will be no recovery.
Thinking of the power in Tiedan Shenhou's hands, plus the ten generals, a million soldiers in his hands, and 13,000 financial resources, even if there is a rebellion, he can definitely defeat everything.
You only have one chance.
But this is not what makes Dongfang Qing angry.
What really made Dongfang Qing angry was the emperor, who used his power for personal gain and deliberately placed him in Chuxiu Palace.
This emperor definitely has bad intentions.
"I never thought I'd have the chance to live in the imperial palace harem!"
Thinking that this was the harem, Dongfang Qing was a little excited.
But when I thought about the fact that I didn't have the tools to commit the crime, I felt bored again.
You might even be disturbed by the emperor!
"It's a bit uncomfortable! No! It's very uncomfortable!"
Dongfang Qing was speechless. He sat cross-legged on the phoenix bed and began to practice.
Ever since he knew that Tiedan Shenhou was severely injured by his attack, Dongfang Qing felt much less pressure.
After all, he had only broken through one extraordinary meridian at that time, but now he has broken through two, and he has greater control over the power of heaven and earth.
The power of the moves has also increased significantly.
According to his calculations, one extraordinary meridian would increase the strength of a move by about 10%, and two would increase it by 20%.
With the power of his sword technique increased by 20%, he can kill anyone who stands in his way.
It can be compared to the extremely powerful true qi of Tiedan Shenhou.
After all, it is the power of heaven and earth, and it has infinite uses compared to true qi. This is the privileged ability of a high realm.
"With more energy, my moves will be more powerful!"
With this idea in mind, Dongfang Qing began his journey of cultivation in the deep palace.
"The Emperor has arrived!"
But before Dongfang Qing could practice for too long, he was interrupted by the voice of a eunuch.
Before she stood up, she saw the emperor cautiously walking into the inner palace and staring at Dongfang Qing.
"The Eastern Sect Leader hasn't rested yet, so I asked someone to make some bird's nests to nourish the Sect Leader!"
As he spoke, the emperor waved his hand, and a young eunuch lowered his head, holding a meal tray and walked in with small steps.
On the dining board was a jade bowl carved from green jade, with intricate and exquisite patterns, showing luxury.
"I noticed that the Eastern Patriarch liked the color green, so I decided to use a green jade gilded bowl!"
The emperor smiled as he slowly walked to the table, took a small spoon, and put the bird's nest into the jade bowl bit by bit.
"Your Majesty...what are you doing?" Dongfang Qing was speechless.
We just met today and it’s starting already?
No, even if you have met him ten or a hundred times, you can't be so casual.
Or are all emperors like this?
"No need to call me the emperor so politely. My name is Zhu Houzhao. The bird's nest is ready. Come down and have some. You are a little skinny! You must have suffered a lot when you were a child!"
The emperor had an admiring smile on his face, which seemed quite considerate.
"???"
"I think you don't think I'm too thin, but that I'm too flat!"
Dongfang Qing cursed in his heart.
After thinking about it, I decided to get rid of the emperor as soon as possible. He was an eyesore no matter how I looked at him.
Dongfang Qing got up from the bed, walked to the table, picked up the bird's nest, and frowned suddenly, thinking to himself: "Will this emperor drug me?"
Dongfang Qing stopped when the bowl reached his mouth.
In novels, no matter how great your martial arts skills are or how immune you are to all poisons, if you are poisoned by certain drugs, there is no cure.
What if this thing really does contain medicine, what will happen to him?
Thinking of that scene, Dongfang Qing shuddered.
"It's a little hot. I'll eat it after it cools down. Your Majesty, it's too late. I need to rest!"
Dongfang Qing made it clear that he wanted to see him off.
The emperor said, "No, I just tasted it for you, it's not hot anymore, it's just right to eat like this!"
"Besides, I saw that the Master had no mood to sleep during this long night, so I put aside state affairs and came to talk with the Master!"
“???” Dongfang Qing felt uncomfortable after hearing the emperor’s words.
This guy actually tasted it for himself?
You're still talking to me, but where are you looking?
By now, he knew very well what the emperor's son was planning, and the aura around him suddenly became colder.
He exerted a little force on his feet, and his true energy suddenly burst out.
“Ka-ka-ka…”
The finely polished, patterned floor cracked directly.
Cracks spread everywhere like a spider web.
It made a terrifying sound, as if a huge monster was about to crawl out from under the floor.
Seeing this scene, the emperor shuddered suddenly, looked at Dongfang Qing's cold face, and then hurriedly said goodbye.
"Huh..." Dongfang Qing breathed a sigh of relief. He felt more tired than the last fight.
I kind of have the urge to find Zhu Wusi and fight him to the death.
The emperor, who had walked out of Chu Xiu Palace, breathed a sigh of relief at this moment: "It seems that I was too anxious. That's right. Sincerity can move mountains and open rocks. For such a fairy-like person, I should take my time!"
As he spoke, an intoxicated smile appeared on the corners of the emperor's face, and he muttered slowly: "She is indeed a fairy-like figure. Even her anger is so perfect!"
Fortunately, Dongfang Qing can't read minds, otherwise, the emperor would probably be chopped into pieces.
But for some reason, Dongfang Qing had no intention of falling asleep at all.
I always feel that life in this palace will be extremely difficult, like being a bird in a cage.
"Four major spies, Cao Zhengchun, please hold on tight!"
Dongfang Qing prayed secretly, this is really not a life for a decent person.
Sure enough, early the next morning, the emperor appeared directly in Chuxiu Palace, followed by a group of eunuchs and palace maids, each holding a large box in their hands.
"Master Dongfang, did you sleep well last night?" The emperor's voice came slowly.
Then, the emperor pushed the door open as if he was entering his own backyard.
“Crack…”
The door opened, and the emperor walked in. He waved his hand, asking the maid behind him to carry the box inside. Then he said, "I notified the clothing bureau last night and made a set of clothes for you overnight. Open it!"
Following the emperor's voice, the maid respectfully opened the box and took out a set of green robes.
The gown was embroidered with phoenixes, delicate patterns, fine embroidery, and glittering accessories, exuding luxury.
But Dongfang Qing, who walked out of the living room, frowned fiercely.
This is a red dress!
It was even more luxurious than the "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" robe he had worn in Qun Yuwan.
Even the patterns were woven with gold threads, sparkling in the sun, and were extremely eye-catching.
The pearl accessories alone are estimated to weigh no less than ten kilograms.
This almost made Dongfang Qing collapse.
He glanced at the emperor coldly, waved his hand, and the luxurious green robe floated lightly into Dongfang Qing's hands.
Then Dongfang Qing didn't make any movement, only a "swish" sound was heard.
The man in green phoenix robe was torn into pieces by five horses.
He is not one of those delicate people who would fall down with a push!
Also giving away clothes?
"How can ordinary clothes be worthy of this leader? You'd better not bother me, otherwise... BOOM!"
With the sound, a big hole was punched in the wall beside by Dongfang Qing's palm.
The noise was terrifying.
This scene shocked everyone present.
After they reacted, they hurriedly guarded the emperor.
The emperor trembled violently, took two steps back with a pale face, waved to the eunuchs, and watched Dongfang Qing disappear before his eyes.
"So you think ordinary clothes are not worthy of you!"
The emperor seemed to be thinking about something, and nodded in agreement: "That's right, ordinary clothes can't match your beauty."
"However, one day, I will definitely gather all the famous weavers in the world to weave a piece of clothing worthy of you!"
