Chapter 166 Borrowing from Heaven for Another Fifty Years
Zhuque Street, Xue Family.
Late at night, there was a faint light on the Xue family's backyard, and faint cries could be heard coming from the backyard.
"Huang'er, my Huang'er, you must survive this ordeal." The wind-stained woman, with gray hair on her temples, lay in front of the bed and cried bitterly.
The man in his twenties was lying on the bed sickly, his face was pale.
The maid helped him lean against the bed and drank a bowl of something red.
The pale lips were stained with red soup, leaving a trace of bright red.
It seems a bit intrusive.
"Mom, have you lived longer?" Xue Huang asked vainly.
He heard that boy's blood can prolong life. He drank a bowl from time to time in the past few days, but there was still no sign of improvement.
There are two little beggars hiding in the basement of the Xue family.
"How can it be so easy to borrow a life? You need people with extraordinary luck, deep blessings, and good horoscopes to successfully borrow a life. And these people, who generally come from well-off families, are not willing to borrow a life?" The woman sighed lowly. tone.
A trace of cruelty flashed in Xue Huang's eyes.
"I am the only heir of the Xue family. It is their blessing to extend their life to me. Who dares to refuse?"
"Don't they want to regain the former dynasty? Ahem..."
The man was coughing violently. He was also coughing, and his mouth seemed more and more leaky.
"The people are all white-eyed wolves. Back then they were eating from my Xue family, but now they are praising Emperor Beizhao. It was Emperor Beizhao who usurped the throne and overthrew the Xue family!"
"How can the ancestors of my Xue family feel at ease?"
A group of people were kneeling in the room.
The first few old men had gray hair, and their eyes were filled with hatred.
In order to restrict the Xue family, the late emperor spared the Xue family's life, but did not allow the Xue family's three wives and four concubines to flourish.
The Xue family suffered heavy losses when the country was destroyed.
In these years, relying only on his first wife, he managed to give birth to two sons and one daughter.
Unfortunately, only Xue Huang survived.
What is even more distressing is that Xue Huang has been married for ten years and still has no children.
Emperor Xuanping sent people to monitor the Xue family all the time. Only late at night did the Xue family have room to breathe.
"Master, how are the preparations going?" Xue Huang asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone whispering a report outside the door.
"It's done."
"The longevity extension is successful, I just have to wait for the sacrifice tomorrow." The little maid replied in a low voice.
Xue Huang's eyes burst with joy.
Everyone in the room cried with joy: "We are saved, our Xue family is saved."
Xue Huang's face showed joy: "Princess Zhaoyang, her birth date is very good, and she is Emperor Xuanping's favorite adopted daughter. If you can lend her longevity, you will definitely get some luck."
"It's still possible to severely injure Emperor Xuanping and make Emperor Xuanping miserable!" Xue Huang sneered.
"Damn Emperor Xuanping, you must also experience heartache."
"Princess Zhaoyang is lucky to lend her life to the Xue family and restore the Xue family royal family."
The white-haired old man burst into tears.
The woman immediately said: "Let people prepare what is needed for tomorrow's sacrifice, and then report it to the Ming Emperor."
"I, the Xue family, want to pay homage to the Xue family's imperial mausoleum."
"Although the Xue family is the founder of the country, they have not offered sacrifices to their ancestors for decades. Does Emperor Xuanping want to stop him?" Xue Huangqiang took a deep breath and immediately asked someone to send a letter to the palace.
At this moment, the emperor looked at the request before the case and sneered.
"It's really ridiculous. The Xue family has perished. Why do we still pay homage to the imperial mausoleum?"
"Okay, if you want to die, I won't stop you."
The emperor immediately said: "The Xue family wants to pay homage to the emperor's mausoleum and ancestors, so let them do it."
"I will also send all the old ministers of the former dynasty to my colleagues to pay their respects. I will not pursue any investigation or condemnation." The emperor gave him a great gift with a stroke of his pen.
The eunuch looked at the emperor. Is His Majesty confused?
On weekdays, Your Majesty may be wary of the Xue family contacting old ministers. Now, are you mad? ?
"Go, everyone goes. I will never punish you." The emperor's eyebrows showed a smile.
Borrow it, borrow it.
Whose one do you want to borrow? Why don't you borrow Chao Chao's? ?
Are you kidding me? Even after his death, the late emperor would come up to ask for his dreams and ask me to treat him with care. Can you succeed in extending your life?
I want you to see with your own eyes how the Xue family will destroy itself!
Save you guys from worrying!
The emperor waved to summon the secret guards. Although he knew that Chao Chao was powerful, he did not dare to take it lightly.
"Wait until daybreak and invite Chao Chao into the palace." If Chao Chao is in trouble, he will immediately send a signal to interrupt the other party's wish to extend his life.
"yes."
At dawn the next day, Lu Chaochao was invited into the palace.
Lu Chaochao rushed into the emperor's arms like a little pony: "Emperor daddy..."
"Oh, my darling. Come on, let me hug you and see if you're fat?" The emperor picked him up, and hey, this little guy is really strong.
"Liangqin said, girls can't say they are fat!" Lu Chaochao said in a milky voice.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything. So good..." The emperor liked it more and more.
He immediately carried her out and went up to the highest building in the palace.
The prince also followed him, and when he saw the nine-story tower, his expression darkened slightly.
His fists were clenched quietly.
"What kind of tower is this?" Lu Chaochao looked at the nine-story tower in front of him in surprise.
The nine-story tower is extremely strictly guarded. In addition to the visible ones, there are also many hidden guards.
"In this tower, the sacred objects of Beizhao are enshrined. They are the things that Xiyue coveted last time. The sacred objects are the things that the royal families of Beizhao have protected for generations."
There were heavy guards outside the nine-story tower, and only the emperor and the prince could enter.
The emperor carried her up to the tower step by step, followed closely by the prince, and the eunuch waited outside the tower.
"This is a place only emperors and princes can enter. On the top of the nine-story tower is the Heart of Beizhao. It has been guarded by Beizhao from generation to generation. Passed down from generation to generation, all we know is that the Heart of Beizhao is waiting for its owner."
"It is rumored that Beizhao was originally a barren swamp with no grass growing and no living beings could survive."
"It wasn't until Beizhao's Heart came that this land came to life. The land was filled with flowers, and all living things could breathe."
"Of course, it's just a legend." The emperor smiled.
The prince looked at the tower intently: "Maybe it's not a legend?" The voice was low and could not be heard clearly.
The emperor only took Lu Chaochao outside and did not enter the tower.
The Xue family's imperial mausoleum is not far from the capital. Standing in the nine-story pagoda, you can catch a glimpse of some noise.
"The sacrifice has begun." The prince calmed down his emotions and spoke calmly.
At this moment, the Xue family was also in a state of excitement.
"Emperor Xuanping actually asked his old ministers to sacrifice together..." Xue Huang's eyes filled with tears.
Once there were emperors and ministers, but now we do not recognize people from the previous dynasty.
At that time, the Xue family ruled the country brutally, and the late emperor rose up to resist and overthrew the tyranny.
In order to avoid greater turmoil, major positions were left to cronies, so some old ministers were retained.
In order to beg the late emperor to spare the lives of the Xue family, the old minister had already made the late emperor jealous.
At this moment, when they saw the Xue family's imperial mausoleum, the eyes of the veterans all turned red.
After all, he is the king he once served.
Both groups of people were all in tears.
The master was holding a fly whisk and wearing a Taoist robe. He was chanting something in a low voice in front of the incense table.
Everyone in the Xue family knelt in front of the incense table, with Xue Huang kneeling at the head.
"Bring the things." The expert stretched out his hand.
The woman handed over Lu Chaochao's handkerchief.
Then he lit the yellow paper with Lu Chaochao's birth date written on it together.
Throw it into a copper basin.
"Drip your blood into the copper basin." The expert said loudly.
Xue Huang quickly cut his finger and squeezed the blood into the copper basin.
Borrow your life and start. (End of chapter)
