Food bloggers made fortunes in ancient times

The young eunuch followed Fushou's instructions and stood guard outside the Xianyou Palace. No matter how hard the concubines in the harem begged, he remained impartial and unmoved.

He only said: "Your Majesty has only left the Imperial Concubine, and we dare not disturb her at this moment."

The prince was annoyed by their noise and frowned, saying, "Silence."

When the concubines saw the prince's expression, they immediately shut up. Even the prince was asked to leave by His Majesty, let alone these unfavored concubines.

They just weren't willing to accept it.

The Crown Princess stepped forward and comforted them softly.

Then, there was silence for a long time.

Everyone looked at the tightly closed palace door again, feeling uneasy and wondering what His Majesty would say to the Royal Concubine.

Inside Xianyou Palace.

The old emperor covered his chest with his hands and gasped for breath, as heavy as a bellows.

Shu Changyu gently stroked the incense burner on the bedside. When he was thirteen years old, he accidentally learned about his life experience.

He was unwilling to give up and wanted to find the truth, but almost lost his life at the hands of Kang Yinan.

During the years of recuperation, he read countless medical books and poison books, but was still unable to find a poison that could kill people silently.

The old emperor was suspicious by nature, and even his daily food had to be strictly tested for poison by the eunuchs. It was extremely difficult to kill him.

It was not until two years ago that he learned about an alchemy material from a sorcerer - mercury.

Interestingly, he discovered that this mercury turned into a colorless, odorless and highly toxic substance when exposed to heat.

And it can be extracted with just cinnabar.

The detoxification method is also extremely simple, all you need is a bowl of mung bean soup or milk.

Ha, I’ve never seen a simpler way of killing than this.

Shu Changyu was even still not satisfied that the old emperor died so easily.

The old emperor's eyes fell on the red rope at the head of the bed. He exerted his last bit of strength and raised his hand to pull it.

As soon as the old emperor raised his eyelids, Shu Changyu guessed what he wanted to do, but Shu Changyu did not stop him. He just looked at him quietly with a playful smile.

"Jingle Bell--"

"Jingle Bell--"

There was still silence outside, no response.

The old emperor finally gave up hope.

At this time, the Immortal Master, no, he should be called An Qi.

"Master." An Qi came up and said, "We have to hurry up, otherwise people outside will become suspicious."

The imperial concubine finally came back to her senses from her shock. She wanted to step forward, but she was timid. With tears in her eyes, she urged, "Yu'er, leave quickly. I'm still here..."

Shu Changyu lowered his eyelids, and his thick eyelashes blocked the shadows in his eyes.

The old emperor held on to his last breath and uttered two words: "Bitch!"

Before he finished speaking, Shu Changyu grabbed the old emperor's neck, a sarcastic smile appeared on his lips, and he said coldly: "You are still so foul-mouthed when you are about to die."

He was even annoyed that touching the old emperor would dirty his hands, so he lifted the old emperor from the dragon bed and threw him to the ground.

Shu Changyu raised his foot, stepped on the old emperor's face and crushed it.

The imperial concubine witnessed this scene, and a complicated expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Feeling the soles of the shoes rolling over his face, the old emperor's chest heaved with anger. He had lived a glorious life and had never suffered such humiliation.

Suddenly he felt that he couldn't breathe, his pupils suddenly constricted, his eyes widened, with endless anger and unwillingness, he died with his eyes open.

An Qi walked up, felt the old emperor's pulse to confirm that he was dead, picked him up, threw him on the dragon bed, and covered him with a quilt.

Shu Changyu took out a clean white handkerchief from his bosom, wiped his hands gently, and said slowly: "The imperial edict left by the old man is in my hands now. If you want to leave the palace, I will help you."

It's a way of repaying her for giving birth to me.

The imperial concubine bit her lip and shook her head, "I won't leave."

Shu Changyu seemed to have expected this and said, "Whatever you want."

There is no conflict of interest between the imperial concubine and the prince. As long as the imperial concubine does not make trouble, she can spend the rest of her life safely in the palace.

At this time, the imperial concubine hesitated and said, "Yu'er, if possible, please take care of Zhao'er, he is your brother..."

A trace of mockery flashed across Shu Changyu's dark eyes, and he interrupted her coldly: "I don't have a brother."

The imperial concubine's face turned pale instantly, and her voice choked with sobs: "It's my mother who is sorry for you."

Shu Changyu's expression remained indifferent: "If that's the case, there's no need to say more."

She just wanted to survive, there's nothing wrong with that.

Shu Changyu would not hate her, but he would not accept her either, because Zhou was his only mother.

An Qi urged anxiously in a low voice: "Master, it's time to go."

The imperial concubine showed reluctance on her face, and two lines of tears unconsciously slid down her cheeks. She said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Yu'er, go, I'm here."

Shu Changyu looked at her deeply, then took a step and followed An Qi out of the palace.

They had already made a plan. Even if the imperial concubine did not show up tonight, there would be an insider to help them escape.

As soon as they stepped out of the bedroom, the prince came up with a frown and asked, "How is father doing?"

The Immortal Master bowed first, then shook his head, and said with a heavy expression on his face: "His Majesty asked us to come out first, he has something to discuss with the Imperial Concubine alone."

Soon, the concubine's grief-stricken cry was heard from the bedroom: "Your Majesty!"

At this time, Shu Changyu, An Qi and others had already disappeared without a trace.

As for kneeling down to worship the old emperor, that was impossible.

In the dark night, several figures approached the city wall silently like ghosts.

An Qi had been waiting here for a long time. When he saw Shu Changyu coming, he said softly, "Master, everything has been arranged."

Shu Changyu responded lazily: "Yeah."

"Boom, boom, boom--" The sound of heavy funeral bells came from the palace.

Upon hearing the sound, the guards at the city gate knelt down and sobbed quietly.

An Qi held a rope with a hook and threw it hard. The hook at the other end of the rope was accurately stuck in the crack of the city wall.

He pulled the rope hard to make sure the hook was secure, then handed one end of the rope to Shu Changyu.

"Master, please."

Shu Changyu held the rope tightly, stepped on the uneven parts of the city wall, and climbed up nimbly.

His movements were light and agile, like a nocturnal cat, quick and steady.

Afterwards, An San and others also got the ropes and climbed up the city wall silently.

The rope swayed gently in their hands, like a thin thread floating in the night breeze.

The night provided them with the best cover, making their movements almost blend into the darkness.

When coming down from the city wall, An San, who was the last to come down, first took away the hook hanging on the wall, clasped his fingers tightly around the cracks in the stone, stepped on the city wall, and climbed down directly.

A short whistle sounded from behind. Shu Changyu turned around, looked at the blurry tall figure, and shouted, "Third Brother."

"It's me, hiss." Shu Changsheng suddenly slapped his face and complained, "Why did you come just now? I've been squatting here all night, and there are so many mosquitoes."

He untied the horse ropes from the tree trunk and led three horses.

"The horses are ready for you, let's go."

Shu Changsheng didn't know what shocking thing Shu Changyu had done. He just followed his instructions and brought three horses to wait for him outside the north city gate tonight.

"Did the death knell in the palace just now ring? I counted nine. Did the emperor pass away?"

"Yeah." Shu Changyu replied perfunctorily. He climbed onto the horse's back and said, "Third brother, let's go."

Shu Changsheng said: "Take care."

"Take care." Shu Changyu said, and rode away quickly.

An Qi followed closely and asked, "Master, where are we going next?"

There was endless darkness ahead. Shu Changyu looked up to the north and said, "Let's go to the northern border."

Go and retrieve the military token left by his father.
