Emperor Xuanyuan's birthday was not only taken seriously by all the officials of Xuanyuan, but also a week ago, envoys from various countries were sent with treasures to congratulate him.

In a stone chamber, a man wearing a golden mask sat at the upper seat, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"Why has Chu Yunge been dead for so long, but the one in the palace is fine?"

"Master, I have heard that Prince Gen recently brought a foreign man into the palace. Since then, the Empress has not summoned the imperial physician again. Now...now...Your Majesty stays in Fengci Palace every day."

The man in black who was reporting the situation felt a tingling sensation on his scalp. The one in the higher position was not someone to be trifled with. If he took a wrong step, it would be a dead end.

After reporting tremblingly, he lowered his head and waited for his master's decision.

"Oh? Prince Wen brought a stranger into the palace? Did the spies in Prince Wen's mansion send back any news?"

"My lord, the informant lurking in Prince Gen's mansion... has disappeared long ago. I think he was eliminated..." The man in black's voice grew smaller and smaller, and cold sweat broke out.

The man in the golden mask stared expressionlessly at the people below him. The man in black knelt down and admitted his fault: "My subordinates have failed to perform their duties well. Please forgive me, Master."

Just when everyone was terrified, a giant python appeared from nowhere and quickly wrapped around the man in black.

"Master! Please have mercy on me. I know I am wrong."

The binding became tighter and tighter, and the sound of bones creaking could be heard. Blood vessels could be clearly seen on the exposed skin of the man in black, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he would die at any moment after the blood vessels burst.

"Such an important matter, why didn't you report it earlier? You! Damn it!"

The remaining four people lowered their heads and dared not say a word. If they opened their mouths to beg for mercy when their master was angry, they would suffer as well and could only wait for the trial in agony.

As soon as the words fell, the python raised its head and bit the man's neck...

The sound stopped abruptly, and the python slowly let go of the man in black!

"Go and find out for me what exactly happened these past few days! I need accurate information as soon as possible."

At this time, someone hurriedly came with a letter and asked for a meeting, looking very anxious.

"What's going on?" The man in the golden mask had a headache. Things had been going badly for him lately! He felt like someone was plotting against him in the dark.

"Master, something has happened in Li Country. According to reports from Li Country's spies, the incompetent emperor and crown prince of Li Country were assassinated not long ago!"

The teacup was crushed directly: "What did you say? Tell me again, what happened in Li Country?"

"My lord, the king and the crown prince of Li have both been killed."

"The Li Kingdom's palace is heavily guarded. Who has the ability to kill the Li Kingdom's monarch? Is there any leak in the information?"

"Master, it is true. The Li Kingdom is in mourning. All civil and military officials are supporting the Fourth Prince. It seems that he is following his lead. It seems that he will succeed to the throne after the mourning period."

"What about that person? Is there any news about him?"

"No news. The Fourth Prince's men are currently arresting the secret guards. I guess he won't dare show up for the time being."

"Get ready, I'm going to Li Country tomorrow!"

"Master! No! His Majesty may summon you at any time. If you leave without reason, it may arouse unnecessary suspicion. Please think twice."

"Do you know how important those things are?"

"I understand. Master, please be patient. Our people are already searching and we should have news soon."

The messenger looked at the corpse on the ground, his heart skipped a beat, and he felt that his neck was not safe either.

"I'll give you three more days. You must find him and escort him safely to Xuanyuan. Do you understand?"

"Yes! I'll do it right away." If it weren't for the special communication channel, he felt that his brain was not enough to resist the master's anger.

The man in the golden mask glanced at the people below and asked, "Has anything happened to Xuanyuan recently? Answer honestly. If you conceal anything, you know the consequences!"

The man in purple was sweating profusely. He thought he could get away with it today, but he never expected to have to face the wrath so soon.

"Master, several of us...several of our...secret agents were eliminated overnight..."

"... "

There was deathly silence in the stone chamber.

"Who did this?" After a while, the man in the golden mask spoke softly, and he did not seem angry at the moment.

"My subordinates have traced this matter and it may be related to King Guang."

"King Gen! What a great King Gen you are! How dare you go against me!" The man with the golden mask narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a dangerous aura.

.........

In Prince Gen’s Mansion, Xuanyuan Gen had no idea that he had been targeted.

He was currently dressing Lu Beichen, and was quite pleased with his work: "Beichen, this suit is practically tailor-made for you. Ling'er will surely be delighted when she sees it."

"I say, are you sure you want to propose marriage today?"

"Today, all the civil and military officials are here, and envoys from foreign countries have also come to celebrate your birthday. Since the emperor has promised you a promise, there is no greater sincerity than proposing in public. I think that in the face of the promise and the people present, even if the emperor is unhappy, he will definitely not be able to save face. In addition, with the queen mother's support, there should be no objection to your marriage with Ling'er."

Lu Beichen was secretly complaining. If the emperor heard this, would he think he had given birth to a rebellious son? This was completely a betrayal! He was helping others plot against him.

Xuanyuan Gen was in a good mood. The chaos in Li Country was a big blow to Ouyang Yuan. He felt relieved as long as there was something that could make Ouyang Yuan feel upset.

And these are all the masterpieces of Lu Beichen and his wife. Just for this, he has to do his best for them.

"Then it'll be hard work."

"I'll go with you." Honggu's voice suddenly came from the door, and he walked into the house after a while.

The neatly dressed Hong Gu no longer showed his former decadence. He looked very energetic. He was wearing a white robe, which matched his white hair, giving people a sense of immortality.

Lu Beichen was already familiar with the procedure and stepped forward to salute: "Greetings, Master."

"Okay." He still couldn't believe that all this was real, and it felt like a dream.

He was in Li Country yesterday, and he is already in Xuanyuan today. This speed is simply unparalleled.

After digesting it all night, he roughly accepted the reality. Not only was Xuanyuan Ling not an ordinary person, but his apprentice who showed up out of nowhere was also extraordinary. His endless methods were similar to Xuanyuan Ling's.

He went on to talk about what had just happened: "I will go with you. Your parents are not here, so I, your master, will be your guardian. As long as you don't think I am embarrassing you, it's fine."

"Master, why do you say that? I'd love to have you here." The title of Medicine Saint might not be known to some common people, but it is well-known among the royal nobles. Many kings have wanted to win him over, but unfortunately Hong Gu was used to being idle and could not stand any constraints. No matter who invited him, he refused them all.

"Senior Medicine Saint, I was narrow-minded yesterday. Please don't hold it against me."

Xuanyuan Gen was a little surprised that Hong Gu could stand up, and his impression of him also changed. Perhaps he had misunderstood him in his previous life.
