Chapter 1120 The National Preceptor Who Was Backlashed

Bai Ruozhu has been staying in the cell. The food sent to her was pretty good, but she basically didn't move. Instead, after observing that there were no guards nearby, she took something from the space to satisfy her hunger.

Half a day later, Liu Tong appeared again and told Wu Zhishang's fate with an apologetic smile.

"Mrs. Jiang, the emperor sentenced Wu Zhishang to death with a cane and executed him on the spot. The corpse is probably thrown out of the palace by now," Liu Stone said.

Bai Ruozhu chuckled lightly, "It doesn't matter if you die, sometimes death is luckier than life."

Liu Stong trembled. Why did he think Bai Ruozhu used some medicine on Wu Zhishang? If Wu Zhishang was alive, would life be worse than death?

"Also, I heard that the emperor went to Concubine Liu and said that she did not abide by the rules in the palace. He directly punished her for three months without allowing anyone to visit." Liu Stone spoke more cautiously. He felt more and more that Bai Ruozhu was not simple. Even though he is staying in the cell now, but it is only for a few days, it is better for him to build a good relationship with him.

Bai Ruozhu was a little dissatisfied. She was only banned for three months? Concubine Liu is still too cheap. But no one is allowed to visit for three months, so this is a great opportunity.

Liu Tong reported the situation to Bai Ruozhu, then bowed and went out, making him look like Bai Ruozhu's subordinate. Ning Yu in the other cell was listening with his ears pricked up. The more he listened, the more puzzled he became. Could it be that Liu Tong was actually Bai Ruozhu's subordinate? Subordinates?

In the blink of an eye, one day and one night passed. Bai Ruozhu stayed in the prison for two days. At night, she hid in a corner and took a bath in the space when no one was around. So even though she was in a damp cell, she was in high spirits. Okay, not affected at all.

The next afternoon, the Queen Mother went to the Tianlao in person, took Bai Ruozhu out, held her hand and said, "Good child, you have been wronged."

Bai Ruozhu smiled at her, "It's okay, Captain Liu takes good care of me."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother took note of the eye-catching Liu Tong, and soon asked the emperor to promote him. Therefore, when Liu Tong met Bai Ruozhu on patrol in the palace, he would treat her with the same respect as if he met a benefactor. Of course, these are all things for later.

The emperor asked the shadow guards to check the relationship between the Bai family and the Astrology Tower as quickly as possible. In the end, it was determined that only Bai Ruozhu asked Ning Yu for help when he rescued his younger brother, and other matters were related.

At this time, the emperor had no choice but to believe the results of Ning Yu's formation. Although he still held out hope in his heart, he felt that maybe it was not Ning Yu and Bai Ruozhu who designed to frame the late emperor, but there might also be something wrong that made this happen. the result of.

After thinking about it this way, he felt much better and decided to see the Imperial Master and ask about what happened back then. The Imperial Master knew many things about his father.

The emperor went to the Astrology Tower to ask for a meeting with the Imperial Master, but the Imperial Master still refused to see the guests on the grounds of seclusion.

"Hmph, am I not qualified to see the Imperial Master? The Imperial Master is getting more and more arrogant!" The emperor said coldly, ignoring the child's objections, and walked quickly towards the secret room where the Imperial Master was retreating.

He said to the Imperial Preceptor inside the institution: "I haven't seen the Imperial Preceptor for a long time. I wonder if the Imperial Preceptor would like to see me?"

These words were already very serious. The voice of the Imperial Master inside the door was a little hoarse and tired, "Your Majesty, I am in seclusion and it is really inconvenient for me to move. Please forgive me."

"Just ask the boy to open the mechanism. The Imperial Master doesn't need to move. I can take a look at you and feel relieved." The emperor said.

"This..." The Imperial Master hesitated, "The mechanism cannot be opened from outside."

An angry look flashed in the emperor's eyes, and he winked at the shadow guard next to him. The shadow guard floated towards the door of the machine like a ghost. The child next to him, who was so fast, didn't have time to warn him. The next second he heard the sound of the machine door, and the door was closed. opened!

The Imperial Preceptor's face still showed shock, then anger, but soon faded away. After all, the emperor had seen him like this.

"Master, why have you become like this!" Even though the emperor was always calm, he was also confused at this moment.

The last time he saw the Imperial Preceptor last year, the Imperial Preceptor was still in good spirits. Although his hair and beard were all white, he still had a childlike appearance and an air of immortality, and his eyes were extremely bright. But at this moment, if he didn't look exactly the same, he would really think that the national master in front of him was fake!

Sitting cross-legged on the ground is a rickety old man. His hair has fallen out and his eyes are dim and dull. His face, which had almost no wrinkles at all, is already covered with wrinkles, and there are also many age spots. The skin on his face is... Falling loosely.

His originally strong body was reduced to a handful of dead wood, and his robe became empty. The hands exposed outside the sleeves were as skinny as chicken claws, and there were many age spots and wrinkles on them.

The Imperial Master came back to his senses and quickly returned to his usual indifferent expression, but his current appearance did not really have the smell of being out of the world, as if he would be taken away by the God of Death at any time.

"Weichen leaked too many secrets, so he suffered backlash. Weichen didn't want the emperor to worry, and he was also afraid that my little apprentice would be sad, so he went into seclusion and didn't want to see anyone." The national master explained slowly, "And my body now has already I can’t do anything anymore, let alone divination, and I’m no longer worthy of sitting in this position of National Preceptor.”

The emperor, who was originally confident and confident, was suddenly speechless. He didn't expect that the imperial master would become like this. His actions just now seemed a bit unreasonable.

"Master, please don't think too much. There may be a way to recover you, and I will also find a way." It took the emperor a long time to speak.

The Imperial Master sighed softly and said: "That kid Ning Yu got into trouble. He is too young after all. He can only see the superficial appearance, which may not be accurate. Otherwise, he can take over my mantle. Please take a look, Your Majesty." For my sake, please forgive him for being unreasonable."

"Does the Imperial Master know what he said?" the emperor asked.

"I don't know, but I once thought that he would be in trouble because of his words." The Imperial Master shook his head with difficulty.

…

Soon, the story of the imperial master's backlash spread from the Queen Mother's mouth to Bai Ruozhu's ears. Bai Ruozhu was also surprised, but was he really punished by heaven for spying on heaven's secrets? So if you say this, as long as you are a national teacher, you will not end well?

But how to explain those who died well? Are they all liars with no ability?

The day after Bai Ruozhu was released from the prison, Ning Yu was also released. He went back to the Astrology Tower to find out about his master, and cried bitterly. After that day, he seemed to have suddenly grown a lot, as if It's like growing up ten years overnight. Of course, this only refers to the state of mind.

Bai Ruozhu stayed in Cining Palace for another two days before the emperor allowed her to go home, but he also gave her a good beating. She deliberately agreed and seemed to be quite frightened.

But she also thought privately that neither the emperor nor the queen mother wanted to admit that the late emperor had done something to transfer the curse to the cursed Princess Jade Temple. It was just like hiding an illness and avoiding medical treatment. How could Princess Jade Temple's illness be cured?
