Qi Jun watched as Zhibai used a small knife to carve out small dragon heads, several sections of dragon body, and dragon tails from the tortoise boards.The knife technique is rough, but it's just a similar shape. The dragon's tail is carved like a fish's tail, and the dragon's body is fat and bulging like a pot cover. Although it has claws, it looks like a turtle.

But Qi Jun was not in the mood to make fun of him at this time.The doors and windows of the inner hall of the observatory are closed tightly, and the sky is getting late, and the hall is getting darker and darker.Everyone was led by Feng En to guard the entrance of the outer hall, and there were only the two of them in the huge hall.

Zhibai threw the carved objects into the gold plate in front of him.This is the gold plate that Zhen Mingzi used to hold the nectar from the sky in the Taoist temple. It is two feet in diameter and three inches deep, and it contains clean water.The dragons carved from tortoise shells are scattered all over the place, half submerged and half floating in the water.Zhibai returned his hand and wiped his fingertips with a knife, a few drops of blood fell on the tortoise shell.

Qi Jun took a slight breath.The tortoise shells that were originally floating in the water started to move, as if they were living things, they joined together to form a rough "dragon", but with a round belly, it was quite different from ordinary dragons.

"Bring the Lizhu." Zhibai stretched out his hand without looking back, and Qi Jun quickly handed him the Lizhu that he had secretly picked out from the crown.Since the Longevity Festival, Emperor Jing'an cherished this court crown very much, not because it was not easy to wear it for big occasions, but now that he was ill and lying in bed, Qi Jun was able to steal Li Zhu out.

Zhibai's bloody finger pressed on the Lizhu, and there was a soft pop, and a black light and shadow broke out of the pearl, circling erratically.Zhibai raised his hand and pointed at the gold plate in the seal seal, the black light shot into the body of the "dragon" in the gold plate, with a bang, the tail carved from tortoise shell patted on the water surface.

"Is this—alive?" Even though he had already guessed, Qi Jun was still taken aback.If you don't see it with your own eyes, how can you imagine a dead thing suddenly becoming a living thing.

"This is Ji Diao." Zhibai's voice sounded erratic in the empty inner hall, "The dragon head and turtle body are called Ji Diao. The so-called Yun Conglong, unfortunately there are only tortoise shells in the palace and no keel. This object has been carved. Fortunately, this object is also a dragon descendant, and it can barely be used to move clouds. It’s just that it’s not a real dragon after all, so I’ll do my best. From now on, no foreign objects should disturb me. Your Highness will protect me. "

The calm water surface in the golden plate began to bubble up like a spring. Qi Jun looked down and found that the bubbled water was actually the map hanging in the Beigong study—the outline of the land of the Sheng Dynasty. On it, it is clearly separated from the calm water surface next to it, and the Jidiao carved from tortoise shell is located in the northwest.

Qi Jun bowed his head and looked down.The turbulent water surface could no longer reflect human figures, but the water seemed to be soaked with ink, and a black patch appeared.He looked carefully for a while, only to find that the Jidiao carved from tortoise shell was moving slowly, and as it moved, the black mark in the water also moved southward slowly.It was only then that Qi Jun understood that if he knew that Bai said it was moving clouds, then this black patch was the thick rain cloud pressing down on the northwest area.He raised his head to look at Zhibai, Zhibai's eyes were slightly closed, his hands were clasped up and down, sweat beads oozed from his forehead layer by layer, and then rolled down his cheeks, looking extremely strenuous.Qi Jun's gaze swept between his hands that were clasped empty. The light was dim and he couldn't see clearly. He felt that there seemed to be an endless vortex in his hands. He listened carefully, as if there was still the whistling wind coming out.

Ji Diao moved slowly from the northwest, dragged the dark cloud across the map and approached the southeast, and saw that he had already reached the coastline, when he suddenly heard a faint noise coming from outside the hall, Qi Jun listened carefully, only listening to Feng En's voice Gao Yang: "Princess Concubine, Your Highness has ordered you not to enter unless you are called."

"Go away!" Zhao Yue had no scruples, "I want to see His Highness, who dares to stop me! Could it be that you, a slave, are going to commit crimes? Someone, drag him away!"

Qi Jun's expression changed suddenly, and he saw that his white eyelids trembled slightly, obviously he was also disturbed.Beads of sweat rolled down his face, and his hands were trembling non-stop, as if there was something rushing out instead of void between the palms.Ji Diao was already halfway out of the coastline, and was about to drag the rain cloud to the deep sea.

At this moment is the key to success or failure, Qi Jun walked lightly towards the gate of the palace, trying to stop Zhao Yue.But before he reached the door, the closed door was pushed open with a bang, and Zhao Yue's voice came in without any concealment: "Your Highness! Where are you, Your Highness!"

Qi Jun almost wanted to yell and tell her to shut up!In the silent hall, Zhao Yue's voice was particularly sharp and piercing. Zhibai behind him suddenly made a puff, and when Qi Jun turned his head, he saw a mouthful of blood sprayed into the gold plate. After sending it before, it opened weakly.A gust of wind suddenly blew up in the hall, and all the surrounding furnishings were blown down, making a crackling sound.Qi Jun was almost unable to stand due to the wind, and he hugged the pillars in the temple fiercely to stand firm. Then he saw that Bai had lost consciousness and fell backward like a scarecrow, and was blown away by the wind.

If it hits the wall—Qi Jun didn't think much about it, let go of the pillar and rushed forward, hugged Zhibai and curled up into a ball.There was only a muffled sound, and his back slammed against the wall, causing Qi Jun's chest to twitch, and he almost vomited blood.Fortunately, the wind came and went quickly, and the long windows on all sides were blown to one side, and the wind stopped.It took Qi Jun a while to catch his breath, and he looked down at Zhibai in his arms, his eyes were closed, and the blood at the corner of his mouth was particularly glaring on his pale face.

Zhao Yue outside the door was also blown by the wind and rolled directly down the steps. A cup blown out by the wind just fell on her head, making her dizzy. Just wanted to go into the hall: "Your Highness, what are you doing!"

Qi Jun stood up reluctantly, and growled in a low voice: "Feng En, go get the imperial doctor!"

"Ahem——" I don't know if the movement of his standing up caused Zhibai to jerk, Zhibai coughed twice, and opened his eyes feebly: "Your Highness, there is no need to call the imperial doctor."

Qi Jun only felt that his voice was as weak as a kitten meowing, and his heart ached: "You are hurt, please ask the imperial doctor to diagnose the pulse and prescribe a prescription for recuperation."

Zhibai smiled wryly: "The loss of cultivation base cannot be repaired by medicine stones, just let me have a good rest."

Qi Jun felt that the person in his arms was as light as a piece of paper, fearing that another gust of wind would blow him away, he quickly and carefully supported him: "Okay, I'll send you to rest now—" Looking up, the whole The main hall seems to have been copied, where can people live there, "Go to the East Palace, it's easy for people to tidy up here."

"Your Highness!" As soon as Zhao Yue entered the inner hall, she heard Qi Jun say that she was going to the East Palace, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Zhibai lying in Qi Jun's arms, showing a handsome and delicate profile.Zhao Yue felt as if a fire was burning straight to his face, and his voice subconsciously became sharp again: "Your Highness, what are you doing!"

"Shut up!" Qi Jun's face was terribly gloomy, "Feng En! Send all the palace people who trespassed on the star observatory today to the Clothes Bureau. board!"

"Your Highness!" Zhao Yue was startled and angry, and the clothing bureau was bitter and tiring. She brought all her confidantes and palace maids today, and sent them all to such a place. Who would she use?All the people around the princess were punished, so where is this embarrassment going to go!

"Your Highness, I just want to come and see His Highness. I heard that His Highness took the medicine in the Imperial Hospital. I'm afraid that His Highness might feel unwell--" Zhao Yue stopped Qi Jun, and watched Zhibaitou leaning on Qi Jun's shoulder, being caught He guarded it carefully and couldn't help being jealous, and couldn't help pointing at Zhibai anymore, "What are you doing, Your Highness? This, this is immoral!"

Snapped!Qi Jun couldn't bear it anymore, held Zhibai in one hand, and slapped Zhao Yue like lightning with the other hand: "Shut your mouth, if you don't know how to be cautious, go back to your mother's house and learn the rules!"

This slap was not heavy, Zhao Yue only had a slight red mark on her face, but the meaning of this slap frightened her: "Your Highness, you—" You are a princess, but you were The prince slapped me across the face!And what does Qi Jun's words mean?Send her back to her mother's house to learn the rules?The crown princess is not allowed to go home after entering the palace, and sending her back to her natal home means that she is going to be divorced?

"Listen, everyone! If even a single word of today's matter leaks out, you can't live!" Qi Jun glanced around with a full face, and the palace servants brought by Zhao Yue were struggling and crying, refusing to be taken away. , was also frightened by him at this time.Although the clothing bureau is exhausting, as long as they are alive, maybe one day the prince will calm down and the princess will be able to bring them back; if they die...then only the palace of the king of hell can go.For a while, everyone silenced their voices and were honestly dragged down.

Qi Jun hugged Zhibai and left, Feng En trotted all the way to follow, only Zhao Yue was left standing alone in the garden of the observatory, covering her face with one hand, staring blankly at Qi Jun and Zhibai getting on the chariot After the car left, she felt that the night wind blowing over was icy cold, which made her heart feel cold.

The fairy master practiced for the heavy rain in the northwest, and the news of his exhaustion and illness spread like the wind in the palace. After a few days, the northwest rushed to play, and the heavy rain went all the way to the southeast. disaster.

As soon as this memorial entered Beijing, there was an uproar in the court. Emperor Jing'an came to the East Palace to visit Zhibai in person, and ordered that the observatory must be repaired immediately, and it should be more refined than before.

Since Zhao Yue came back from the Star Observation Tower that day, Qi Jun has locked her in the room under the pretext of recovering from illness. Take someone to serve her.It was said to be serving, but it was actually under house arrest. She was so angry that she could only throw a few cups in the room to vent her anger. When she heard about the memorial from Northwest, she realized what she had collided with. Emboldened.

Wenxiu came in with a bowl of medicine, saw Zhao Yue sitting in a daze on the couch, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth: "Princess, it's time to use medicine." An extra three points of Coptis chinensis was added, which was specially ordered by Qi Jun to "remove the anger" of the princess.

Zhao Yue looked at the bowl of medicine, wishing to splash it on Wenxiu's respectful face.It's just that she didn't dare.Since entering the palace, although the queen has often lost her temper with her, she is her own daughter-in-law after all, and she always thinks of her when she has any good things; He lifted her up, so she really didn't know that Qi Jun would use such a thunderous method to deal with her.Now that her confidant in the palace has been demoted and she is under house arrest, she is really a little scared, and a little sad in her fear—her father fought bloody battles at the border and won a big victory. She is so cruel!

"The concubine should hurry up and take medicine, otherwise if she feels unwell, the servants who serve her will offend again, and she will have to send a few to the clothes washing bureau." Wenxiu was really happy, because she was beaten up by a board before Not getting up, let her lose face, now it's Zhao Yue's turn.

"Where is Your Highness?" Zhao Yue pinched his nose and poured the bowl of bitter medicine soup into it, and asked Wenxiu under pressure.

"The maidservant is only serving the princess, and does not know the whereabouts of His Highness." Wenxiu bowed calmly, and went out with the medicine bowl.Hearing the sound of falling things in the room, she couldn't help showing a smile, handed the empty bowl to the little palace man, and asked casually, "Your Highness is still in the fairy room?"

Xiao Gongren shook his head: "Not here—"

Wenxiu immediately quickened her pace.Seeing and taking care of Zhao Yue was a pleasure, but it also reduced her chances of serving Qi Jun. In addition, Qi Jun is always in Zhibai's room these days. As for what to say in the past—well, let’s just say that the princess is losing her temper again.

"Your Highness is going to the Observatory." The second part of the little maid's words made Wenxiu stop abruptly: "What are you going to the Observatory for?"

"The observatory has been repaired, and His Highness will send the immortal master back."

"Then—did His Highness tell you when you'll be back?"

"My maidservant heard Feng Neijian's order to send the dinner to the observatory..." the little palace man muttered, seeing Wenxiu's complexion darken, he swallowed the last half of the sentence.

Wenxiu involuntarily raised her head and looked in the direction of the observatory. Don't you get bored of what His Highness does with the immortal master every day?Calculate that he has not been in the room of the Crown Princess or Liangdi for a month or two, doesn't it mean that His Highness doesn't want to...

Qi Jun didn't know that Wenxiu was counting the frequency of his intercourse, Zhibai had been raised in the East Palace for more than ten days, and he was still sickly looking pale as paper.The observatory has been repaired, and it is more beautiful than before, and it looks more and more sick.

"It's better to call the imperial doctor to check the pulse. They say that the vitality is depleted, so the medicine can also replenish the vitality?" Qi Jun felt worried, "There is nothing else in the palace. There are a lot of century-old wild ginseng. Useless?"

Zhibai curled up under the quilt, it was almost March, but he was afraid of the cold: "The hundred-year-old ginseng has no spiritual energy, it would be better if it had a thousand years..."

"Tell Dianzhong Province to find a way to find it!" Qi Jun immediately turned his head and told Feng En, "Find someone to dig ginseng in the northeast mountains! If anyone gets it, they will definitely be rewarded!"

Feng En hurried to spread the message.Zhibai smiled while stuck in the quilt: "Thousand-year-old ginseng is hard to come by, so I don't need to work hard. I'll take it easy and cultivate it."

Qi Jun just felt irritable: "If it wasn't for Mrs. Zhao, I wouldn't be here!"

Zhibai half-closed his eyes: "Going against the sky, there is always a price to pay." He sighed softly, feeling that he had lost his money since entering Beijing.Xingtie, Zhanlu, and Shooting Sun Arrowhead, none of the cultivation bases gained since then have been retained, but the vitality of the former mountain cultivation has been lost a lot.

Qi Jun felt that Zhibai's sigh was pulling his heart like a thread, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his face: "Stop talking, so you can give birth. I have sent people to look for spiritual objects everywhere. , if you can get a few truths, it will be beneficial to you." He suddenly thought of something, "If not - I will try to send you to the father? Didn't you say that the dragon spirit of the father is very beneficial to you? benefit?"

Zhibai still shook his head lazily: "Right now I'm a bit weak, and I can't meditate. Even if Your Majesty has dragon energy, I can't absorb it. What's more, Your Majesty—"

"What now?"

Zhibai paused for a moment, then shrank back under the quilt: "It's nothing, it's a little cold. Your Majesty is the virtue of water, and his dragon aura is cold, which is not very good for me at this time."

"Then what should I do?" Qi Jun really lost his mind, "Why don't you wear the sun-shooting arrow?"

"Too domineering." Zhibai half-closed his eyes, "I was able to hold back when I was healthy before, but now I can't."

"Is there no other way?"

Zhibai sneered: "The solution, I'm afraid there is only the method of dual cultivation."

Qi Jun was taken aback: "Shuangxiu—the method?"

"Yeah." Zhibai casually rubbed on the pillow, "Shuangxiu is two people who share their energy and work together. If I am too exhausted to practice on my own at this time, it is the best way to do it when I am in harmony. My partner's vitality circulates around the sky, and it can also carry my vitality with me, so I don't have to practice it myself to benefit."

Qi Jun opened his mouth and said after a while: "Only the method of dual cultivation?"

Zhibai was about to fall asleep again, and said in a daze, "Right now, I can only think of this method. If not, taking the thousand-year-old ginseng and ganoderma will benefit a little, or else, I have to rest slowly..."

Qi Jun gritted his teeth and made up his mind: "In this case, I will find one of the palace servants to be with you!"

Zhibai opened his eyes in amazement: "Wait a minute, Your Highness! What I need right now is Yang Zhengqi. Your Majesty is not good because of his body of water virtue. If all the people in the palace are women, they are born with Yin bodies, and dual cultivation is useless. "

Qi Jun was dumbfounded: "So, do you want to - do you want to double cultivate with a man?"

"Well, men are yang, if you want to replenish yang, naturally you have to double cultivate with men." Zhibai was a little out of breath after saying these few words, closed his eyes again, and curled himself up a little tighter.Qi Jun subconsciously reached out to shake his hand, which was cold to the touch.He touched Zhibai's arms and cheeks again, and they were all equally cold, no matter how many charcoal pots he put to warm him up, it was useless, even holding the hand stove, Zhibai's body was also cold.These days in the East Palace, when he fell asleep, his breathing was light and his body was cold, sometimes Qi Jun was almost afraid that he had lost his breath.

Zhibai hid his face under the quilt again, his body gradually trembling.Qi Jun was suddenly nervous: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing—" Zhibai felt weak, "It's too cold, you can bask in the sun during the day to replenish your yang energy, and it will be stronger at night. Your Highness, go and rest."

Qi Jun frowned: "Feng En, go get more hand stoves! The earth dragon is also burning hotter." These days he was busy with political affairs, and he never stayed in the Zhibai room at night, so he didn't know that he still had this problem.

Feng En sent four hand stoves in a short while, all of which were stuffed under Liao Zhibai's feet, and the earth dragon made the hall even hotter, but he trembled even more. Obviously, these were useless.Qi Jun hesitated for a moment, lifted the quilt, got in and hugged Zhibai.
