In an instant, Sun Lang's mind turned like lightning as he quickly pondered.
First of all, Empress was not weak in martial arts.
Secondly, as the mother of the nation, she was in charge of the Imperial Seal of the Imperial Seal.
It was an Imperial Army seal, and it was of extremely high quality.
After all, Houtu was founded on martial arts, and the Imperial Army was a powerful country. Hundreds of years of subtle influence was enough to form new traditions and etiquette. The various political, military, and sacrificial items in and out of the Empire had gradually become part of the Imperial Army. Empress' seal was a treasure of the Imperial Palace. It had been made into the Imperial Army by the Sacred Artifact Supervisor hundreds of years ago to show her majesty and nobility as the mother of the world. Of course, it was not known for its strength, but rather for its beauty, charm, and defense. After all, the Empire did not need Empress to fight.
In fact, one of the most important uses of Empress' seal was the permission to have sex.
In other words, if the Emperor wanted to have sex with any concubine tonight, just flipping the plate was useless. After flipping the plate, the eunuch had to organize this matter into a document and send it to Empress Empress. It was to tell her that her husband wanted to have sex with this little bitch tonight, and she had to take out her seal to stamp it. This meant that this sex had been approved by Empress, who managed the affairs of the Imperial Palace according to the basic laws, and that they could have sex.
It was a kind of green feeling.
After all, there was a difference between the inside and outside. The Emperor ruled the world, and Empress managed the Imperial Palace. Thus, if the Emperor wanted to have sex with anyone, he had to get Empress' approval … even if it was just a procedure.
That was probably what was going on … It was precisely because of the various considerations of its function that the Sacred Artifact Supervisor did not design the Empress's Seal with great power and offensive capabilities. After all, this was the Seal of Forgiveness, not the Overturning Heaven Seal.
But it was still Empress' seal.
Regardless of its power, its specifications and quality were naturally extremely high. This was because its owner and user was the noblest woman in the Empire.
In other words, its energy level and attribute strength should be one of the top Imperial Army.
This meant that Her Highness Empress would also be resistant to the Great Health Force.
This would ensure that she would not easily turn into a river flowing east under Sun Lang's touch.
It was just that it would become very, very strange.
She would feel a strange yet familiar throbbing from the bottom of her heart, as if she had returned to the days when she was still young, when she was burning with passion, when she had an endless and incomparably distant past.
After all, Empress Empress had also reached that kind of lonely age. The Emperor had wanted to live forever these years, and had mysteriously gotten together with The Devil Yuan Zu. It was estimated that they had long become friends who abstained from sex. From this, it could be seen that Empress must have been intolerably lonely all year round. She did not dare to look for a lover, but she had probably practiced the One Yang Finger.
Hmph, hmph, hmph, hmph.
A cold light flashed in Sun Lang's eyes.
There was a saying that anger arose from the heart, and evil grew from the side of courage.
He did not have the slightest good impression of Empress. There was no need to mention the old grievances with the Emperor that were as deep as the ocean. Now that this woman was so aggressive and had delivered herself to his door, he felt that he needed to teach her a profound lesson. Of course, he would not be so stupid as to make any obvious physical contact with her.
There was a kind of martial arts technique in this world called the release of zhenqi.
Just like the One Yang Finger and the Six Meridians Magical Sword of the Duan family in Dali, it shot out vigorous internal energy. Its power was incomparably strong, and it hurt people invisibly.
And Sun Lang, this man, could do even more terrifying things.
After all, with his martial arts cultivation, the release of zhenqi was not difficult at all. He could even freely change the nature of his zhenqi. He could shoot out incomparably sharp invisible sword Qi that could cut gold and jade. He could also shoot out mellow and mighty healing zhenqi that nourished the heart and meridians. He could also shoot out that kind of cold and indifferent healing ray.
Of course, the last one only existed in theory and imagination.
After all, in these two years, he had been disgraced by the Great Protection – Strength. All day long, he had been thinking about how to solve this curse that made people despair. How could he dig deeper into its greater use?
Only when he was bored to death would he find joy in the midst of suffering, and casually fantasize.
He had even imagined a move that would continuously shoot out the Great Protection – Strength sword Qi from all seven hundred and twenty acupuncture points on his body, and launch a large-scale saturation bombing move.
He called this move the [Twenty-fifth Sword – Protect the Water Resources and the Common Future of Mankind].
Of course, with the addition of the Sacred Fire Sword, the [Twenty-sixth Sword] was not far away.
Throwing this extremely dangerous gay thought to the back of his mind, Sun Lang dodged Empress's attacks, and at the same time took in the expressions of everyone present. Not to mention the palace guards, most of the first rank ministers standing here were exceptional martial arts experts. He could not let them see him.
Great Menstruation!
Sun Lang staggered back, and with the help of the Sacred Fire Sword, the constantly changing Great Protection – Strength was able to silently adhere to the hard and smooth stone floor. He had already seen through Empress Empress's martial arts, and had already predicted her next move.
This was his greatest gain in the Great Desolate Mountain. When one's martial arts reached a certain level, their abilities were no different from myths and legends. The martial arts of the world no longer had any secrets in his eyes. After seeing through the opponent's martial arts and the characteristics of their movements, all of the opponent's actions and actions were already within his grasp.
It was almost the power of prophecy.
As expected, Sun Lang slightly changed his posture, and Empress Empress followed his script and stepped forward to attack without hesitation, and just happened to step on the footprints left by Sun Lang.
Then, nothing happened.
Sun Lang sensed the obscure fluctuations of the Imperial Army, which disappeared in a flash.
It was clear that the Great Protection – Strength was not as effective as it should have been, or it could be said that its strength was too small, so much so that the furious Empress Empress had overlooked it. After all, her mental state was currently very agitated.
Since that was the case, then let's try this. How about three times the strength?
Sun Lang was just about to double his strength when at this moment, a violent coughing sound rang out.
In the direction of the dragon bed.
This sound was so familiar that when it landed in everyone's ears, it was like a clap of thunder.
Empress chasing after Sun Lang, Sun Lang dodging Empress, the spectating officials, the vexed Crown Prince, the anxious palace maids and eunuchs, and the palace guards at a loss — everyone's expressions froze.
Empress Empress suddenly turned her head, and His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince looked as if he had been struck by lightning.
Everyone else had different expressions on their faces.
At the first moment, everyone's expressions were instinctive. If this scene was recorded, it would definitely be able to depict the various expressions of the Imperial Palace and the treacherous schemes of countless people.
But in the next moment, everyone's expressions became the same.
Joy, agitation, and disbelief.
Empress Empress could no longer pay attention to Sun Lang. She immediately turned around and charged toward the dragon bed. His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince also scrambled forward, and the Princes all appeared extremely excited and filial. The Imperial Physicians and Divine Weapon Great Eunuchs were also rather excited. This concerned their lives and futures.
"All of you, get out of the way!"
Empress Empress rushed forward and called out, "Your Majesty!
Your Majesty! "
The Crown Prince and the many Princes called out affectionately as an accompaniment.
Several white-haired Imperial Physicians wanted to confirm His Majesty's condition, but they could not interfere. This was because other than Empress, the Crown Prince, and the various Princes, the leaders of the other dynasties were all itching to move forward. Everyone was fighting to be the first to express their concern and loyalty to the Emperor.
Sun Lang stood in the distance with his arms crossed, still watching coldly from the sidelines.
As a member of the Royalist faction, Lord Wen Kuanfu had been suppressed by many factions over the past few days. Naturally, Sun Lang's henchmen had also been making a ruckus. His relationship with Sun Lang had always been poor, and the recent days had been especially difficult. Now that His Majesty, who had been unconscious all this time, finally had a reaction, it really made him feel refreshed.
Moreover, it was a good thing. His Majesty had a reaction, which meant that the day of his awakening was not far away. If the Emperor woke up, it meant that Sun Lang's ambition to seize power had officially been thwarted. Lord Wen felt extremely happy. Once he was happy, he wanted to find Sun Lang to share the joy in his heart.
"General Sun, this is truly worthy of celebration."
He said with a fake smile. "His Majesty is unconscious, and the people of the court are in turmoil. Everyone's hearts are empty and feel that something is missing. Now that His Majesty's condition has improved, it means that the turmoil for a while is about to come to an end. Those demons and monsters who want to fish in troubled waters will finally be declared bankrupt. General, you don't seem very happy."
Sun Lang glanced at him and sighed.
Lord Wen still remembered this guy's violent behavior a few days ago in the Royal Palace where he had sent Li Tonggu flying with one slap. Seeing this, he took a step back and said warily, "This is the Royal Palace. Don't mess around."
Sun Lang's eyes showed pity. "Lord Wen, aren't you still afraid?"
Wen Kuanfu did not understand. "What do you mean?"
Sun Lang shook his head. "Look, so what if His Majesty wakes up?
You bare your teeth at me, and when I look at you, you retreat timidly. What does this mean?
It means that whether His Majesty wakes up or not, you are very afraid of me. No matter what, your Master Sun is still your Master Sun. From this point of view, I am very happy. "
As a civil official, to be beaten to a pulp by a military official's words, Wen daren could be considered the shame of the literati. This time, he still didn't get any benefits. He was so angry that he was trembling. He pointed his sword at Sun Lang and was just about to say a few harsh words to reprimand him for being arrogant and despotic, when Sun Lang had already retracted his gaze.
He said in a low voice, "Quiet."
The gentle and powerful voice exploded in everyone's ears, calming the chaotic scene. Everyone looked at him, looked at General Shentse, whose expression was as calm as usual.
"Her Majesty Empress, His Imperial Highness The Crown Prince, and all the other princes, I can understand your joy, but His Majesty's health is more important. You should move aside and make room for the imperial physicians. Compared to visiting His Majesty, we need to know the true condition of His Majesty's body and not be in a mess."
He walked forward, "Imperial physicians, take His Majesty's pulse."
The Crown Prince immediately moved to the side obediently. The other princes didn't really want to move. Sun Lang made a sound of agreement and said, "This prince is dilly-dallying. Could it be that he is stalling for time and doesn't want the imperial physician to treat His Majesty?"
The prince shivered, "No, no!
Don't speak nonsense! "
After saying this, he quickly fled to the side.
Her Majesty Empress looked at Sun Lang. The hostility in her eyes did not lessen at all. Instead, there was a hint of arrogance and pride. It was as if she was mocking Sun Lang's previous domineering actions. You took advantage of His Majesty's coma to act tyrannically in the palace and even provoked me. Now that His Majesty is about to wake up, what are you going to do?
How stupid.
Sun Lang laughed coldly in his heart.
The Empress took Sun Lang's silence as a sign of weakness. The corners of her mouth were still slightly cold. Then, she moved to the side and continued to stand by the Emperor's side … She did not retreat, but only made room for the Imperial Physician.
The experts from the Imperial Academy of Medicine and the Ministry of Imperial Finances quickly came forward.
After a moment of diagnosis, they looked troubled.
Empress urged, "How is His Majesty's condition?
What happened just now? "
They exchanged glances. The imperial physician said, "Your Majesty, His Majesty's spirit has improved. His reaction just now is a good thing. Judging from this, he will soon recover his consciousness, but …"
Doctors were afraid of the word "but".
Empress frowned, "But what?"
The imperial physician hesitated for a moment and said with a bitter face, "The treatment is about the root cause. His Majesty is in a coma because of his injuries. The power of wood is strange and changeable. It is constantly multiplying and replicating. Most of His Majesty's energy is used to fight against the power of wood, so he fell into a deep sleep to maintain his spirit. Now that His Majesty is getting better, it is actually the increase of his spirit, but his injuries …"
He hemmed and hawed. Empress listened for a while before she understood, "In other words, His Majesty's improvement is due to his own good fortune and the blessing of the ancestors, but you are still helpless?"
The imperial physician and the others bowed again, "We are incompetent …"
The topic returned to the previous one. Empress glared and was about to scold them again. Suddenly, she saw the emperor's eyelashes tremble. The emperor of the empire slowly opened his eyes.
His voice was a little hoarse.
But it still contained the power and majesty to control the country and rule the world.
He said, "What … What happened to me?"
The eunuchs and palace maids all knelt down. The Empress' eyes were instantly filled with tears. The Crown Prince and the Princes squeezed over. Even a few important officials in the court couldn't help but bow.
In any case, Li Guangyuan was still the legitimate emperor of this country. He had a high prestige. Just by waking up, he could easily stabilize the turbulent situation.
Sun Lang had been watching coldly from the sidelines.
Some things might not be real just by imagination. Only by experiencing it personally could one know how big the threat was.
The emperor's injuries were still not getting better. The imperial physician had said clearly that as long as the power of wood was not removed, the emperor would still have to lie in bed and struggle. But even so, once the emperor woke up, Empress was no longer panicking. The crown prince was panicking. Some of the ministers who had begun to waver and ponder instantly made up their minds … This was the power of the emperor. This was the orthodox power.
This great enemy could not be underestimated.
General Shentse's heart calmed down.
The assassination was just a trick. Now that the emperor has woken up, it is the second step of your plan, right?
It's okay. You can take it slow. Let me see what you can do.
