Ganlu Hall·Back Hall

In the bathtub, the steam was rising. Su Zhao closed his eyes tightly, beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and temples, and the skin on his chest and back was as red as cooked prawns.

At this moment, Su Zhao's body, limbs, and meridians are also expanding. The impurities and toxins in the blood are being separated little by little. The elixir enters the body through the pores and is absorbed by the bone marrow. New blood is continuously regenerated to replenish the body.

Missing part of blood.

I don't know how long it took, Su Zhao slowly opened his eyes, looked at the bath water that had turned black, frowned, and got out of the tub. At this moment, the young man's skin was as white as glass and jade, and he took a towel and wiped it.

Get down and put on your clothes.

"The blood-rich realm has been broken through, and the marrow-replacing realm still needs to wait for a day or two." Su Zhao put on his belt and thought.

At this moment, Su Zhao was startled when he heard the sound of bells coming from the direction of Xuanle Palace, and his expression returned to normal.

Mrs. Su Guo was so sad that she vomited blood and died. Although it sounds a bit ridiculous, it is not eye-catching considering that he was in front of the coffin a few days ago and fell ill after vomiting blood.

At this time, the eunuch outside said: "Your Majesty, Qu Kai has been outside the palace for a long time when he came back to resume his duties."

Su Zhao nodded, took the sword, and walked out of the back hall with a smile on his face.

At this moment, the sky was already dark, and in the palace locked by the parasol trees, a few lights were lit.

"The matter is done." Su Zhao asked in a low voice with a gloomy face.

Qu Kai cupped his hands and said: "Everything has been done, but I was blocked by the young master in the process. The young master said that he would report it to the king and punish us for our crimes."

When Su Zhao heard this, his expression was slightly strange and his eyes were thoughtful.

As for his half-brother Su Ming, it's not that he doesn't know how to eliminate the root causes to avoid future troubles, but... he wants to fish!

Without comprehensive techniques, he would not launch a rash attack. For example, for the Buddhists in the west of the city, he just sent General Peng and Cai to closely monitor them.

Now, he wants to catch Yuan Bin.

As he secures his position as the king of Su State, the precarious situation he had before has disappeared. Now, he must maintain the overall stability of Su State and cannot rashly overthrow the situation.

At least, he had to wait until Yuan Bin's counter-intentions were revealed before he could legitimately uproot his influence!

"How is the rectification of the imperial guards going?" Su Zhao pondered for a moment, then asked about another matter.

Qu Kai cupped his hands and said: "Three hundred elite soldiers have been selected. They are all loyal and courageous men who can be relied upon by Your Highness."

Su Zhao nodded and said: "I previously established the Palace Division, and now I have also formed the Guard Division, with you as the capital division."

If Yuan Bin is eliminated, he will gradually adjust the Soviet imperial army, release the two generals Peng Yan and Cai Kuang, use their sons to serve as the front division of the palace, and use Qu Kai as the guard division commander, which can be regarded as a loyal and brave victory over Qu Kai.

A sincere return.

In Su Zhao's vision, the Second Division of Guards in front of the Forbidden Army Palace would command the Imperial Army, and then gradually change the Sima into a military and political department similar to the Ministry of War, with the Privy Council in charge of military orders. If there is an opportunity in the future, he would gradually reform this crude system.

The official system consists of three provinces and six departments.

Of course, such reforms are not possible at the moment.

"Thank you, sir." Qu Kai said with an moved face.

In this era, it is important for scholars to die for their confidants, and Qu Kai had done some dirty work for Su Zhao before. It can be said that at this moment, he has been completely tied to Su Zhao's chariot.

At this moment, the eunuch's voice sounded outside the palace, "Your Majesty, Your Highness the eldest princess wishes to see you."

Su Zhao was silent for a moment, knowing that he was probably here for Su Ming, so he told Qu Kai to leave.

Not long after, a young girl in a plain skirt, as quiet and elegant as the orchid in the empty valley, walked slowly into the hall and stood not far away.

The girl has soft eyebrows and soft black hair. Even though she is dressed in plain palace clothes, she can't hide her beauty and softness.

"Sister, how come you have time to come to my place?" Su Zhao asked with a slight smile.

Su Zijin sighed quietly, moved her lips, and said, "Are we really going to go to the point of killing flesh and blood?"

Su Zhao frowned, walked to Su Zijin, and asked, "Who told you this?"

"It's Su Ming, right?" Without waiting for Su Zijin to answer, Su Zhao already answered. He frowned and thought, "This little brother of Gu is really quite clever at such a young age."

In fact, just as Su Zhao thought, after Su Ming was placed under house arrest, he had people report to Su Zijin.

"I..." Su Zijin said softly: "After all, Su Ming still has the blood of the late monarch on her body. Even though her mother is unkind, he is still a child."

Su Zhaodao: "That's why I didn't let anyone deal with him as well."

Of course, if Yuan Bin uses this as a banner to rebel, he can justifiably eliminate the trouble.

In fact, in addition to Yuan Bin, there is another consideration. If both mother and son die suddenly, and rumors are like knives, he who originally occupies the moral high ground will be passive... In short, he also has to consider some impacts.

"But brother, can you guarantee that he will grow up?" Su Zijin raised her head and looked at the boy quietly.

Su Zhao smiled softly, held the girl's slender shoulders, his stern eyes softened a bit, and said: "This... doesn't depend on me, but on whether he is calm or not."

In this era, humanities were similar to those of the Spring and Autumn Period, with various countries fighting each other. There were also some people who went into exile in history. A few years later, they came back with a large group of party members to engage in the prince's revenge drama.

Well, this Su Ming, his uncle is still the current king of the Wei Kingdom. Su Zhao's eyes were deep again, and he thought: "We need to prepare for a rainy day."

Just when Su Zhao was distracted, the girl opposite heard Su Zhao's words and was silent for a long time. She raised her pretty face. Under the willow leaves' thin eyebrows, her eyes were as clear as the water of Xiaoxiang.

He looked at the young man with stern eyes and thoughtful eyebrows, and said quietly: "Brother... he has grown up."

That autistic young man who was clumsy and inarticulate began to become more scheming and manipulative after he took on the responsibility of the country.

Hearing these words, Su Zhao sighed. The emotions of the past and present life were all mixed up. He hugged the girl into his arms and said softly: "Sister, you are the only relative I have."

The girl rested her head on Su Zhao's shoulder, her eyelashes were slightly drooped, and her fine eyelashes covered her bright eyes. Although she closed her eyes, there was an unreasonable peace in her heart.

She is not a pedantic person, she just doesn't want Su Zhao to be blinded by power and lose his true heart.

Fortunately, my younger brother is still the same brother Zhao who wanted to be hugged when he was a child.

However, it didn't take long for Su Zhao to let go of the girl. With a strange look on his face, he said in a clear voice: "It's getting late. Sister, please go back and rest early."

Su Zijin lowered her head slightly and said "Hmm" without saying a word. She turned around and quickly walked out of Zhongyuan Hall. Under the light of the lights, she could see her cheeks were as red as rouge, and the red glow had spread to her earlobes.

Su Zhao looked at the girl's leaving figure, took a deep breath, suppressed the three levels of body refining to exchange blood, and turned around to enter the inner hall with the blood surging like a torrential river.

Yellow paper, talisman pen, cinnabar, clear water...

Su Zhao took off a piece of white paper, pressed it with an inkstone, and filled it with ground cinnabar with a brush. He concentrated on it, his consciousness concentrated on the tip of the pen, and he traced the memory of his past life on the white paper.

Not long after, Su Zhao waved out the various runes one by one, and the inspiration flashed away.

"Bingxin Talisman, in the previous life, the old man who was suspected to be from the Yuanfu Sect met me, Dao Zuo, and chatted for a few words. Seeing that I was depressed and hiding my heart, he gave me this Talisman. As expected of the Nine Sects of the Taoist Sect, this Talisman does have miraculous effects.

"Su Zhao put down the cinnabar pen, looked up, and found that it was already midnight.
