Living forever in the deep palace

"Even if you were exiled, you shouldn't have left so hastily. The decree came in the morning, and the whole family left the imperial city in the evening?"

Su Chen came back from outside.

The commander of the three guards seemed to have disappeared from the face of the earth, along with his family.

He felt something was wrong.

He walked around the palace again, trying to look for the five red robes, but he couldn't find any of them, even though he had heard that they appeared in broad daylight.

pharmacy.

Su Chen looked at the door that was not closed tightly and felt confused.

……

Too much.

"When I didn't see you, I thought you ran away because you owed money. At that time, I was surprised why you didn't come to say goodbye to me. Although you are stingy, you are also loyal..."

A snowflake fell on Su Chen's hand. It was unknown where it came from, but it was the color of blood.

Su Chen was a little dazed.

"You're suffering so much in this palace..."

"Hahaha!"

Open it and take a look.

"There's no rush to pay back the money."

There are tens of thousands.

"Master Xu, it's time to bask in the sun again."

"Look at you, you're such a coward! You're a second-rank cultivator, how can you be so afraid of an ordinary person? If there's someone, just eat him!"

"It's boring to be alone here. I might as well go home and use the money to adopt a child so I can have a future..."

Hundreds?

"Hehehe, it just so happens that I haven't eaten enough yet!"

In the pharmacy, Su Chen leaned against the door, waiting for customers to come as usual.

Little tiger.

He would not close his eyes even if he died.

However, no matter how thick and powerful the wind and snow are, they cannot blow away all the injustice and darkness in this world.

Without the seed of immortality, he would be afraid that he would be one of the unfortunate people who disappeared inexplicably.

Maybe someone came here to get the medicine himself.

"So... no one... has returned home..."

I can vaguely see it.

"I don't know, Xiaoxuanzi, how are you now?"

However, on this day, Su Chen stood outside the palace gate, holding a pottery jar containing a hundred taels of silver he had saved. After a long wait, no eunuchs left the palace carrying their bags...

Time and time again, after saving someone, he refused to pay and just smiled and hugged Su Chen's thigh.

The treebeard surged.

Cleansing the five internal organs was still the same as before, progress was slow, and even the first "heart" was not cleansed halfway.

"Ugh!"

Two demons burst their golden armor and laughed wildly. One was a golden lion with blood-red hair and red eyes, and the other was a ferocious bull with skin as green as iron.

Bright and dark.

Just as Su Chen was sighing.

"Little Fengzi..."

"It's not just the palace that's eating people, this entire imperial city is eating people too."

Ask the palace steward.

Xiao Fengzi owes the pharmacy a lot of money.

Little Leo.

He was wearing coarse linen clothes, his hair was unkempt, his nails were dry and cracked, and his palms were covered with calluses and grime that couldn't be washed off...

boom!

The carriage stopped suddenly.

Already left the palace.

soon.

boom!

The carriage fell apart.

"Master Xu, I am leaving the palace. His Majesty has been merciful and has allowed a group of eunuchs to leave the palace early, and has also given them some money to settle down."

"You've become a practicing eunuch. Your good days are almost over. You survived the life-stealing magic incident two years ago, but you couldn't escape this real demonic chaos."

Su Chen gave a forced smile.

"why."

Su Chen became more and more silent.

They were refugees who had fled to the Imperial City, hoping to survive. But how could they have imagined that they would not die in the natural disaster, but in the way of life they believed in...

the next day.

"Great."

Su Chen sat beside him, chatting about family matters as he did in the past.

……

"Hehe, I knew that Master Xu is kind-hearted and won't let Xiao Fengzi die of illness."

He closed it tightly when he left.

This place is a garbage dump.

If Su Chen had not experienced Tianwu, Tianluan, and the two Jianwu periods, he might not have known about this place.

Many eunuchs stabbed him in the back and called him a good-for-nothing, but Su Chen knew that he had a younger sister who lived in the imperial city, and he had asked someone to bring all his money to his sister.

Sporadic snowflakes fell from the sky, getting bigger and bigger. The white snow stained the dirty black blood in the burial ground.

"Over the years, they have been using the money you sent them with a clear conscience. I originally wanted to ask Xu Han to arrange an errand for you outside the palace, so that you could personally..."

"Come to think of it, the last time I saw you, you had already become a practicing eunuch. You came looking for me and took away a lot of good medicine from me, saying that you would pay me back double when you took off..."

The wind howled and whistled violently, and the countless lives that died unjustly here seemed to be telling their story of injustice.

However, the route from the palace gate to the imperial kitchen does not pass through the pharmacy.

"Really picky about food."

He waited and waited!

"Why is Mr. Su here? Why is Mr. Su here?!"

He roared at the top of his lungs, his face was ashen, his body was shaking, and he was as soft as mud.

This piece of land was barren, dark and sticky, with shallowly buried corpses, their remains exposed, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Su Chen was amazed.

He couldn't deceive himself.

"Maybe they really did go home."

A carriage, filled with the smell of blood, came galloping all the way in the night. The second-rank red-robed man driving the carriage was terrified and trembling.

"If I had known this back then, I wouldn't have helped you and your sister detoxify in the library, and nothing would have happened today..."

The demon is coming.

"But I am a human being."

far away.

Su Chen couldn't quite recall what was going on.

In the carriage, there was the rustling sound of people eating.

Seeing that there was no one around, Xiao Yangzi came over with a lunch box.

"Mr. Su?!"

In addition to the freshly roasted chicken and several exquisite vegetarian dishes, there was also a heavy purse filled with silver and copper coins.

Thousands?

The demons are yelling and cursing.

Wake up.

"See how long you can stay hungry."

"No."

"They must have all gone home."

"I want to kill someone."

Silent.

"died."

They are refugees.

"starving."

After looking at the clay pot and seeing that the meat and milk were still inside, Su Chen closed the lid again.

Murderous intent surged in him, and his eyes grew increasingly cold.

"Eating these leftovers every day is meaningless. When will I be able to eat the flesh and blood of a second-grade or even first-grade cultivator?"

Xiao Yangzi, the eunuch working in the imperial kitchen, was pulling a cart of vegetables past the pharmacy and greeted Su Chen.

finally.

The red-robed man screamed in fear with a shrill voice.

Su Chen didn't recognize most of the corpses here.

In order to support his sister, he owed debts, borrowed money, was dishonest, and did not manage the affairs. He was often beaten half to death by the manager.

Su Chen stretched out his hand, trying to close the eyes that were staring at the sky with anger, unwillingness and despair, but time and time again, he couldn't close them.

Walking in the deep palace, Su Chen came to a remote place. It was even more deserted than the library. No one was willing to come here, and it was unknown to most people. Even many blue-robed men didn't know about it.

Su Chen stopped in front of the disemboweled body of a young eunuch. His round, chubby face was filled with anger, unwillingness, and deep despair.

"I'll definitely give it to you next time!"

He leaned against the stove, on the recliner, and fell into a deep sleep.

"Are you Mr. Xu? Save me, I'm almost dying of illness..." That night, the frail young eunuch, with a high fever, collapsed at the door of the pharmacy.

These two were honest kids. Because they owed a debt, after finishing their chores, they came to the pharmacy and wanted to work as interest, but they were driven away by him.

Just say.

Wait until the sky becomes bright and drowsy.

"It would be better to die."

Perhaps because of Xu Han, no one was forced into the pharmacy this time.

I can't close these eyes.

Su Chen solidified this palace gate, a massive gate of ten feet, which had withstood countless attacks from masters outside the palace. But in his eyes, it was like a terrifying maw swallowing up these unfortunate people, allowing only entry but no exit...

And this was a new corpse that had just been thrown in and had not yet rotted in the cold winter. The stench of blood, mixed with the smell of a rotten corpse, was a pungent smell that went straight to the top of his head.

This little emperor, who was even more evil than a demon, was actually rescued by him in the library with his own hands.

"Hey."

Wait until night falls.

He was silent.

Su Chen took the food box and handed the purse back.

Its daybreak.

Xiao Yangzi is gone.

He also disappeared, just like Xiao Fengzi and the others that Su Chen was familiar with, disappearing without a trace.

"Perhaps you don't know yet, but long before you entered the palace, your sister was driven out of the house by your adoptive parents and froze to death on that snowy night..."

"Give!"

"Xiao Fengzi and the others are gone."

This little emperor allowed the Western Factory to become more powerful, and he was arrogant and domineering, bullying all the officials. He turned a blind eye to the crumbling situation of Daliang, as if he was hoping that Daliang would be destroyed.

They stood up, and two second-grade demons pounced towards Su Chen.

Su Chen even found out the three guard commanders, whose only remains were their bones, along with their families, but he did not see the five red-robed ones.

Two ten-foot-tall inhuman black shadows jumped out, laughing ferociously. The bright snowy night reflected their ugly faces, which were also wearing golden armor representing the emperor's personal guards.

The palace maid Chunyan liked to pester him and asked him to bring back a string of candied haws when he went out of the palace to buy things.

"The Man in Black Clothes Under the Moon... Young Grandmaster Fengxue..."

He hadn't expected this to happen.

The body was frozen.

Staring at the palace, Su Chen waited silently, but Xiao Yangzi's body had not appeared yet.

Su Chen continued walking.

Su Chen walked deeper and deeper, and the silence became louder and louder as he walked. He saw many familiar people.

I won’t give it even if I have money.

"Daliang lost three of its nine counties, and the remaining six were also in turmoil. Natural disasters and demons continued to plague the land. The earth froze and the people were displaced. He didn't care at all. Instead, he ate vegetables in this cold winter."

After two days and one night, Su Chen's hand holding the pottery jar dropped, and the one hundred taels of silver that he was going to share with Xiao Fengzi and the others still could not be given away.

He returned to his original appearance, with skin as white as jade, eyes as bright as stars, and black hair. He stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a dark color, like an immortal from heaven, or an evil demon descended to the world.

The remains were perfunctorily buried, and their faces, which had been eaten beyond recognition, still showed traces of fear and despair.

"There's someone! There's someone at the mass grave!"

Su Chen paused, remained silent, stared into those angry eyes, and continued to tell the story.

thump!

When the second-rank official in red robe with gray hair saw the dark figure under the moonlight in the snowy night, his eyes went dark and he felt dizzy. He fell to his knees and almost fainted from fright.

"You've finally been transferred from a eunuch who collected horse manure to a lucrative job in the imperial kitchen. Show some respect to the steward so that your work will be easier..."

Recently, for some reason, many familiar faces have disappeared, and a new batch of eunuchs has arrived in the palace.

Such a huge palace, if not defended, would be loose and the military discipline would be unclear.

"Perhaps, only by severing the seven emotions and cleansing the six desires can I become a carefree immortal?"

Nothing to do.

"Little Emperor, I still owe you a sword strike. This sword should have fallen on your head two years ago!"

perhaps.

The newly appointed commander of the three guards never took care of anything. He was just a figurehead and followed the little emperor around every day. No one knew what he was plotting.

It is also called the mass grave in the palace.

"That's not bad."

"The Imperial Palace... is it eating people again?"

"Mr. Xu, please save me again, I'm dying..." Another night passed, and he collapsed in the pharmacy again with his bruised body.

"He is... he is..."

The wounds on their bodies all looked like they had been eaten by huge beasts, and many of their bodies were twisted and deformed. Only demons, and extremely powerful ones, could do this.

He knows.

Tonight, he didn't know whether the little emperor would live or die, but he was finished.
