Living forever in the deep palace

The palace is heavily guarded, with a guard post every five steps and a sentry every ten steps. There are also guards patrolling back and forth, searching for traitors who may be hiding in the palace!

"Hurry and support us! Rebels are breaking through the gate and trying to 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, imperial 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-skinned eunuch who cursed and killed the guards couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes."

Su Chen also agreed, without any awareness that he was the wanted traitor.

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 must buy are here."

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

at this time.

Inside Qianyun Palace, there was a faint roar of anger.

"Bastard!"

"A bunch of trash."

"A third-grade marrow cleanser slaughtered three thousand of my assassination guards, and even allowed him to brazenly carry out the corpse of the purple-robed eunuch Zhang Gui in front of the Queen?"

"A mere upper third rank, the whole country searched for him, yet there was no trace of him at all? Are you just here to eat and do nothing?"

"Ahem... Daliang's reputation is almost being shattered to pieces by these two dog eunuchs!"

In Qianyun Palace.

Emperor Jianwu, whose face was pale, weak, but extremely angry, was pointing at the red-robed eunuchs in the room and the commanders of the three guards and shouting 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, may be a third-rank master, but he already has some of the aura of a first-rank junior master! Not to mention my waiting, even a second-rank master might 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 hidden..."

"not to mention."

"Now there are rebellions in all nine counties..."

Jianwu became increasingly angry.

"Go find it!"

"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 trust him so much..."

Emperor Jianwu's roar made the eunuchs and guards outside the Qianyun Palace dare not 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 small eunuch in black at the Imperial Pharmacy. After completing his tasks, 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 number one traitor in the world, turned around and sneaked into the palace again.

Emperor Jianwu probably couldn't 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 seems that the throne will be changed again..."

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

He looked far away in the direction of the 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, which is responsible for growing some simple medicinal herbs.

"Boy, you're not dead."

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

His name is Chen Ge.

She entered the palace for fifty years and experienced four dynasties, including Emperor Liang Yu, Emperor Tianwu, Emperor Fei, and Emperor Jianwu. Although she had no cultivation, she was old and experienced, and she lived a comfortable life in the pharmacy.

"Since you're not dead, give up your fantasy of currying favor with Princess Yunyang. Where can you find so many opportunities? Do you think you're Zhang Gui, who can be appreciated and soar to fame in an instant?"

Chen Ge said in a sarcastic tone.

Su Chen nodded obediently.

Subsequently.

That was the beginning of my days at the palace pharmacy.

The only eunuchs in charge of the palace pharmacy were the old eunuch Chen Ge and his two other eunuchs. They had no 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 should have the consciousness of an ordinary eunuch. Without the talent for cultivation, following a nobleman will only lead to death."

"Good job."

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

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've figured it out."

"Being a prominent figure is too dreamy. I think running a pharmacy is a better way to go."

Su Chen looked grinning.

The palace is currently in turmoil and undercurrents are constant. 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, the three border counties 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 sinister families.

A county in the north directly established itself and was called Youguo.

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, Da Zhou, and You Kingdom are struggling.

The tenth year of Jianwu.

Heavy snow fell and swept across the palace.

"It's just a slight cold. Take these medicines once a day for three consecutive days, and you'll be cured..."

"Thank you, Master Xu!"

The young eunuch thanked him profusely.

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

just now.

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

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

"Three years have passed."

"He finally couldn't bear it anymore!"
