Falling from a height, stumbling along the way, it is inevitable to get injured, especially Emperor Liu Renxiu, who was originally protected by the crowd. As soon as there was any movement, the secret guards would rush to him first.

So as they slid down, he was squeezed in the middle.

When everyone hurriedly got up to check on him, he was found to be dead with a blue face.

Everyone helped him to calm down, and it took him a while to recover.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Prince Hexian and Xuan Zhenzi.

"Uncle? Who is this? Where is this?"

The old prince Hexian glanced at Xuan Zhenzi and introduced him, "This is my uncle, your seventh great-grandfather. He is now Xuan Zhenzi of the Xuantian Sect."

Liu Renxiu was shocked. "So the Xuantian Sect's Xuan Zhenzi Zhenren is actually the Seventh Master. Was it the Seventh Master who saved me?"

Legend has it that the Seventh Great Grandfather was obsessed with cultivating immortality and Taoism, and ran away from home at the age of ten. It turns out he joined the Xuantian Sect. Could it be that he knew the royal family was in trouble and came back specifically to save him?

Xuan Zhenzi said, "Now that the royal family has suffered a devastating disaster, I won't harp on any more. Now that you're here, hurry up and find out if the Cui family's Saintess has any information on how to detoxify the haunted house's poison."

Only then did everyone realize that this was actually an underground study.

It turned out that when the fire broke out in the south of the city, Xuan Zhenzi and the old prince Hexian happened to go to the imperial mausoleum. After returning to the capital, they found that the plague had suddenly broken out in the capital.

After investigation, Xuan Zhenzi recognized that this was the poison of the haunted house.

The poison in the haunted house has always been untreatable. The person who poisoned it didn't leave anyone any chance of survival. It's simply insane.

To detoxify, Xuan Zhenzi first thought of the Ghost Valley Old Woman. Not knowing if she had a solution for the Haunted House poison, he hurriedly wrote to ask, but he didn't hold out much hope.

Even if the old woman Guigu had a way to detoxify, it wouldn't quench thirst. It would take at least three or four days for the Xuantian Sect to reach the capital. The people of the capital had already been poisoned for a day and a night, so it was too late.

Xuan Zhenzi suddenly remembered the study of the Holy Maiden of the Cui family in the palace. Perhaps this omnipotent Holy Maiden knew the antidote to the poison in the haunted house.

Forget it, let's try it out.

So he and Prince Hexian hurried into the palace. Even though the palace was already in turmoil, they had no time to spare and headed straight for the secret room.

The underground study of the Holy Maiden of the Cui family is located right below the Xianji Palace, ten meters deep, with layers of stone slabs and rice-slurry soil stacked on top.

The Immortal Palace is also the residence of the Cui family saint girl in the imperial palace. It was built by the emperor specifically for the Cui family saint girl.

No one knew what method this saint used, but she actually connected a water mirror between the underground study and the Xianji Palace.

Sitting in the underground study, I can actually see everything that happens in the Xianji Palace.

While they were looking for a way to detoxify the poison in the book, Prince Hexian looked worriedly at the emperor and others in the Xianji Palace who were in danger.

When he saw the Grand Princess ordering people to shoot, he got anxious and didn't know what he hit or touched. It was as if a self-destruct device was activated. He heard a "boom" and a hole appeared at the upper part of the secret room. Then there was a "plop, plop". Then he saw His Majesty and others falling down.

Looking at the hole again, after a burst of "crackling" golden light, it returned to its original state.

Prince Hexian saved everyone by chance.

However, after this shock, the water mirror disappeared.

Although everyone couldn't see above, they could still hear the "dong dong dong" sound of digging and pounding the ground.

Fortunately, the stone chamber was deep enough, and covered with stone slabs and rice paste soil, which were used to lay the foundation when the Xianji Palace was built. So the eldest princess couldn't find anything, and she didn't suspect anything when she saw the rice paste soil and stones.

After hearing Xuan Zhenzi's words and knowing that it was indeed the poison from the haunted house, everyone's faces became solemn.

Liu Renxiu looked at Xuan Zhenzi and asked, "Is our Liu family's kingdom going to be destroyed? Is there really no cure for the poison in the haunted house?"

Xuan Zhenzi shook his head: "I once divined and saw a glimmer of hope, but I don't know where it is. Let's look for it quickly, maybe it's in this secret room."

In fact, he knew that if there was any hope of survival, it would probably depend on his junior sister to take action. The junior sister had obtained the Heavenly Book and recognized it as its master, but now the junior sister was far away in southern Xinjiang...

Just as everyone was busy flipping through books, Zhu Beichen slowly woke up.

He was originally with Eunuch Hai and also fell down, but it just happened that he was at the bottom and Eunuch Hai was at the top, so he served as a cushion for Eunuch Hai.

After being hit by Eunuch Hai's fat body, he fainted again due to his already low blood sugar.

When he woke up, he saw a big night-shining pearl and thought he had arrived in the underworld.

But is the underworld so smelly?

When he saw Eunuch Hai coming out of a corner surrounded by curtains, he was supported by a guard, who was even helping him pull up his trousers. But he didn't even have the strength to pull up his trousers.

He finally came to his senses and said quickly, "Quick, boiled mung beans in vinegar can cure the poison in the haunted house."

Everyone looked over immediately, and His Majesty asked in a trembling voice, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Zhu Beichen briefly explained Dr. Li’s discovery.

Xuan Zhenzi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Junior Junior Sister is the chosen one recognized by the Heavenly Book. Her medicine book must be what the Heavenly Book says, so it can't be false. But how do we get out now?"

Just now, Prince Hexian accidentally activated the mechanism and saved His Majesty and others, but he also destroyed all the passages. They are now trapped here.

Zhu Beichen glanced around. It was a square room with a row of bookshelves against the wall, a table, a chair, and a couch. There was nothing else.

He took a deep breath, then nearly vomited. It stank.

Zhu Beichen quickly covered his mouth to suppress the discomfort in his stomach, then said: "It's not stuffy here, which means there is a vent. If there is a vent, we can find a way out.

Here, everyone is trying to find a way out.

Song Jinxiu searched in vain. She stood on the roof of the Hall of Supreme Harmony, looking down at the entire palace, wondering where His Majesty might be hiding.

A rockery? The lake bottom? Or had he left the palace through a tunnel?

There is a tunnel in this palace, otherwise how did Ji Zhengyu and the others get in?

Song Jinxiu listened to the sounds of fighting in the distance. It seemed that the fight between Ji Zhengyu's men and the remnants of the King of Wei was nearing its end, so it was time for her to take action.

Song Jinxiu narrowed her eyes. She was short of manpower and did not confront them head-on.

You have to know that there are more than 400 men in black in the palace. With only about 30 of them, they could easily fight their way through, but if they killed them one by one, it would be like a tiger being outmatched by a pack of wolves. Moreover, there were more than 100 soldiers from the Xishan Camp chasing them.

However, Ji Zhengyu killed the eldest princess, which gave her an opportunity to sow discord and kill someone with a borrowed knife.

It was true that she had spiritual power, but without Su Mo by her side, she had to use it sparingly. She hadn't found His Majesty yet, and didn't know if he was injured, so she couldn't abuse her spiritual power.

If you can't use spiritual power, then you can only use your wits.
