oh!Nangong Xiuqi and Wang Rujiao snorted softly at the same time.
Xiaobi smiled and said: Miss, don’t worry, I didn’t say that the young master is back.
Wang Rujiao blushed and scolded: Damn girl, you are smart, go out quickly!
Xiaobi ran out with a smile. Nangong Xiuqi was also quite embarrassed at this time, standing there and wondering what to say.
Wang Rujiao smiled as if nothing had happened, and said: Brother Qi, you heard it just now. The whole city is searching for your traces. I think you will be here in the past few days, okay?
Well, okay...Ah, no, no, I can't stay here.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded but suddenly remembered something again and said quickly.
Ah…then…then where are you going?Now there are searches everywhere outside, it is very dangerous for you to go out.Wang Rujiao said anxiously.
No, if I don’t leave, I will implicate you.
Nangong Xiuqi said anxiously: The officers and soldiers outside will find this soon.
It turned out that when Wang Rujiao mentioned the search for traces, Nangong Xiuqi suddenly thought of something, that was, she was spelled by the ghost mother of Mingshan. No matter where she went, she knew her whereabouts. It was because of this that the mistake that happened to visit the palace at night. Although Nangong Xiuqi still clearly remembered that the ghost mother of Mingshan had been severely injured by her, her limbs were all destroyed, and her chest was even printed with a palm. Logically, she had no hope of survival, but she was not 100% sure.
It is precisely because she dared not conclude that the ghost mother of Mingshan is dead that Nangong Xiuqi was worried that her whereabouts would be discovered, which would attract a large number of officers and soldiers. This would not only affect Wang Rujiao and her family, but also put sister-in-law and the others in danger.
Thinking of this, he could no longer stay, so he immediately told Wang Rujiao a brief reason and was about to leave.
But Brother Qi, where can you go now?
Wang Rujiao grabbed Nangong Xiuqi and said: Besides, you have been here all day. If they knew your whereabouts, they would have come long ago and there would not be any movement yet.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that Wang Rujiao's inference was also very reasonable, but there was also a possibility, that is, the reason why they had not found this was because the ghost mother of Mingshan was severely injured and had not woken up. Once she woke up, her whereabouts would naturally be exposed. Therefore, with the hidden danger of the ghost mother of Mingshan, she would always be in a state of no escape.
Sister Jiao, if this hidden danger is not eliminated, we will never have peace.
Wang Rujiao was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then said: Then do you want to go to the palace again to get rid of this hidden danger?
Nangong Xiuqi gritted his teeth and said: That’s right, that’s all!
good!Brother Qi, it’s true that Brother Qi that my sister likes. You didn’t disappoint me.
Wang Rujiao approached Nangong Xiuqi and whispered as she stroked his face with a slender hand.
After Nangong Xiuqi was slightly surprised, he felt relieved, thinking that Sister Jiao’s personality was indeed very different from other people. If it were someone else, such as Sister Liu Fengzi, he would definitely not let himself take risks with tears in his eyes, unlike Sister Jiao’s implicit encouragement.
Sister Jiao, then I'll go.
Silly brother, look at the sun is still hanging in the West Mountain, how can you go?You should sit here and rest for a while, and then go there late at night.
Haha, Sister Jiao is right!Nangong Xiuqi was embarrassed to scratch his head.
Wang Rujiao gave him a coquettish look, then walked out of the room and called Xiaobi to bring some wine and food. Soon, four or five exquisite dishes were placed on the small sandalwood round table. You can tell that the taste is definitely not wrong when you see it is good.
When the last plate of dishes was served, Xiao Bi took out something mysteriously from behind, shook it in front of Wang Rujiao and Nangong Xiuqi, and said with a smile: Look, I will bring you this thing.
The two of them looked closely and found that Xiaobi was holding a bottle of wine. Although she hadn't tasted it, the round luster emitted from the crystal clear porcelain bottle could tell that the wine here was not the ordinary wine sold on the streets and alleys.
Hey!Where did you get Ah from?Wang Rujiao's tone was quite surprising.
Xiaobi said proudly: Mr. Nangong is here, so I will definitely not be happy without wine, so I went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine treasured by the master. At that time, Chen's mother was discovered. She was shocked and thought that the lady was actually drinking. Fortunately, I was smart and said that the lady had itchy skin and needed to apply it with wine, so I sent Chen's mother.
Wang Rujiao smiled and said: Not bad, you are smart!While saying that, he poured a cup for Nangong Xiuqi.
Of course!Xiaobi raised her head and said proudly.
Wang Rujiao sat down calmly, looked at Nangong Xiuqi with a smile, then glanced at Xiaobi, and said slowly: Brother Qi, when did you take this girl away?
Ah?Ahem...
Nangong Xiuqi, who was having a feast, was stunned when he heard this. Then the wine and food that had not yet completely eaten him suddenly choked in his throat and coughed violently.
Xiaobi blushed and said coquettishly: Miss, what were you...what were you saying?
I said let my brother Qi take over your Yuanhong.Wang Rujiao smiled faintly.
Ah…Miss, you, you…
Xiaobi covered her face with her hands so embarrassed that she stood there without moving.
Why... Wang Rujiao deliberately elongated her tone and said: Don’t you?
Me, I...I don't know... Xiaobi's mosquito-like voice floated out from her fingers.
At this time, no one could see that Xiaobi was willing, but she didn't dare to admit it due to the girl's shyness.
In fact, for her maid, it was a blessing to give her body to her master's man, at least a hundred times stronger than marrying a rough servant. What's more, Nangong Xiuqi was born into a noble family. Although her fortune is not good now and she is in a tragic situation of family destruction, Xiaobi witnessed his strength with her own eyes. The admiration for the strong naturally made her feel a little strange about Nangong Xiuqi. So when Wang Rujiao proposed to let Nangong Xiuqi take her Yuanhong, she was extremely shy and also had a little joy.
This...isn't that good?Nangong Xiuqi said a little embarrassedly.
Wang Rujiao covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised: Oh, when did my brother Qi become a good person? Even the woman who came to the door dared not ask for it?
Although he was just a smirking tone, Nangong Xiuqi's blood and energy surged up immediately after such aroused spirit. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was extremely dissatisfied and said: Sister Jiao, what are you talking about?My Nangong Xiuqi dared to break into the palace, but he didn’t dare to accept the Yuanhong of Xiaobi, the girl?I was just afraid, afraid... Speaking of this, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
Huh...
Wang Ru smiled like a cunning fox. She blinked her eyes with a cunning cunning and said: What are you afraid of?
Cough cough... Actually, I'm not afraid of anything, I just think it's not suitable... Nangong Xiuqi said ambiguously.
Hearing this, Xiaobi's pretty face couldn't help but change color slightly.
Indeed, for a woman, especially a woman with a good appearance and a bit proud, being rejected is an embarrassing thing, and even considered a great humiliation!
Although Xiaobi is just a maid, she is considered a servant, but as a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion and is also a personal maid of the prime minister's daughter. Her status is definitely different from that of the maid of ordinary wealthy families. Her high spirits are not inferior to that of ordinary wealthy families.
At this time, Wang Rujiao stopped her smile, stood up slowly, moved her lotus steps, walked to the square table in the corner of the house, uncovered the red silk sprig covering the animal skull, and said softly: Brother Qi, do you know why I put such a thing here?
Nangong Xiuqi looked at Wang Rujiao's expression, then looked at her hand stroking the animal skull, and thought to herself: Because you like it.
Wang Rujiao looked back and smiled at him, saying: Not bad, I like it!This is the skull of the prairie wolf. Putting it here makes me feel a kind of power and a kind of strength.That kind of instinctive blood courage and fighting made me feel infinite freedom in my heart.
These words were said softly and ethereal, as if they were muttering to themselves, or as if they were telling others. Xiaobi on one side was confused. Although she was Wang Rujiao's personal maid, she had never heard the lady say this before. She only knew that her lady was very different from ordinary daughters. Whether it was personality or hobbies, she knew nothing about why.
Nangong Xiuqi seemed to have some insight at this time, and slowly took a sip of wine and said: Sister Jiao, I understand what you mean.
Wang Rujiao gave a praise, then turned her eyes to Xiaobi. Nangong Xiuqi smiled, put down the wine glass, reached out to take it, and pulled Xiaobi, who was standing aside, into his arms.
Ah… Xiaobi, caught off guard, screamed in fear, but then she covered her mouth tightly, for fear that someone outside would hear it.
At this time, Nangong Xiuqi truly regained his nature. His big hand frivolously raised Xiaobi's pointed and curved chin and said with a smile: Little girl, are you willing to give Yuanhong to this young master?
Xiaobi's cheeks were flushed. Although she was still a little angry at this time, she nodded slightly. A humming sounded overflowed from her throat, and then she shyly turned her face to the side, and her slightly naive breasts were fluctuating violently.
In fact, compared with Wang Rujiao, Xiaobi's appearance is really nothing special, and she is young and has a slightly immature body. Therefore, it is difficult for Xiaobi to attract Nangong Xiuqi's attention when she is with Wang Rujiao, so he has never been involved, not because he is concerned about Wang Rujiao.
Nangong Xiuqi's two-colored hands patted Xiaobi's tender body for a few times and let her go, chuckled and said: OK, I'll take your Yuanhong in a while.
Wang Ru nodded with a smile: That's good!But I want to hear your specific plans.
Nangong Xiuqi was stunned and puzzled: What are your specific plans?
Um!
Wang Rujiao slowly walked back to the table and said: You heard it just now. In a few days, my father will ask us to move and leave Jing'an City. Look...
this…
Nangong Xiuqi thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said: Marry a chicken and follow the chicken. You are my wife, of course you can't follow your parents' home.
Wang Rujiao stared at Nangong Xiuqi in a daze, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, she rushed into Nangong Xiuqi's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her elixir lips pressed tightly on his mouth. After a slight moment, Nangong Xiuqi responded like a hot fire. The two of them intersected their lips and teeth, and their body fluids were lingering each other, and they couldn't tell each other. They ignored the fact that they were blushing with shame, turned their faces but glanced at Xiaobi from time to time.
The sun is falling in the west, and the palace is in the palace.
Although the sky has not completely turned black, it is already brightly lit here, and various palace lanterns, large or small, reflect the magnificent palace like daytime. Emperor Li Xuan was sitting lazily on a soft couch. Compared to the previous time, his body was thinner and his face became paler. His eyes were almost sinking deep into his eye sockets, completely withered.
Master Yu, how has the Zhaixing Tower been built?Li Xuan's breathless voice floated out of his dry mouth.
Back to the emperor, the main project of the foundation was basically completed.Yu Huatian replied respectfully.
Li Xuan frowned slightly and said: Why haven’t the foundation been built until today?Are you, the creator, not doing your best?
Yu Huatian knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed: I must not dare. The Zhaixing Tower project is really huge, and the silver and manpower are not enough, so...
Li Xuan said unhappily: I have ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 200,000 gold coins to you and collect 800 laborers. Why is it not enough?
The emperor clearly explained that although the Ministry of Revenue allocated 200,000 gold coins in silver, the situation has been quite uneasy since the start of construction of Zhaixing Tower. First, there were conquering the demon temple, and then rebels raised troops, which made the government and the public uneasy. The prices among the people soared, and even more serious, there was a shortage of materials. Therefore, the various materials for building Zhaixing Tower were always in a shortage, and it also took time to transfer from other places. In addition...
OK OK OK!
Li Xuan interrupted Yu Huatian impatiently. I know everything, so I should hurry up and build it.
Obey the subject!
Li Xuan took a deep breath, sat on the soft couch a little depressedly, waved to Yu Huatian and said: Master Yu, come here!
Yu Huatian quickly took two steps forward and put his ear close, but heard Li Xuanwei breathing: I don’t know what happened recently, but I feel that the pill you gave you seem to be less powerful than before. Why is this because of Ah?
Yu Huatian naturally knew this reason. No matter what kind of drug is, how powerful it is, once taken for a long time, the body of the taker will naturally develop resistance, and the drug power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, he dispensed Li Xuan with more potent drugs every once in a while, but in recent times, he delayed the refining of medicine due to his busy construction of Zhaixing Tower.
Of course, Yu Huatian naturally would not tell the truth about this reason. He thought for a moment and said: Go back to the emperor, this medicine has been refining for a long time, and it is estimated that the medicinal properties have been weakened, so...
Before he finished speaking, a delicate voice came from behind: Since you know why don’t you refine a new pill for the emperor?Master Yu is too unwilling to take the emperor's needs into consideration.
Without looking back, just listening to the sound and the fragrant wind that came from afar, Yu Huatian knew that the visitor was the emperor's favorite Concubine Wen Shu. At this time, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Beloved concubine, you are wronged by the national master. Recently, the national master was busy supervising the construction of the Star Piercing Tower, so he delayed the refining of elixirs."
The emperor is wise!Yu Huatian thanked Li Xuan in panic for speaking for him.
Oh, Your Majesty, you haven't been to someone else's Wuyang Palace for several days. You are neglecting others. Now you don't speak for others, and you don't follow Ah...
Concubine Wen Shu rushed to Li Xuan's arms like a gust of fragrant wind, her voice extremely coquettish.
Cough cough... I'm busy lately, don't mind my beloved concubine... Li Xuan said with a dry smile.
Yu Huatian laughed in his heart. He knew that the emperor could not satisfy Concubine Wen Shu because he did not have enough medicine, so he had no choice but to avoid it. So he thought about what kind of elixir he should give the emperor next.
Then Master, you must go to someone else tonight, otherwise I won’t agree.Concubine Wen Shu said with adorability.
That's it...
Just as he was worried about how to answer Concubine Wen Shu, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly came from outside: Princess Baoyue has arrived... Li Xuanru was rescued and hurriedly said: Hurry up!
Now Princess Baoyue is deeply trusted by Li Xuan, and she also holds heavy troops. Her power can be said to be at its peak. Her prestige among the ministers is increasing day by day. Concubine Wen Shu didn't dare to act cute in front of her, so she had to shut up obediently.
My son, please see the father!
Baoyue was wearing military uniform and clasped her fists and said: Shu Erchen is in her armor and cannot salute.
Haha, it's exempt.
Baoyue is petite and strictly speaking, an undeveloped girl will definitely look out of place when wearing thick armor. However, this outfit is not like this now. The silver-white armor is obviously customized for her. It is exquisite in style and is dressed in close body. The lower edge of the armor is like a skirt, and it is heroic and charming.
My beloved concubine, you go back first, I want to talk about something.
Concubine Wen pouted, looking very unhappy, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to glance at Baoyue with a little dissatisfaction and stood up angrily.
Baoyue Ah, what is the government’s affairs these days?Say it to me.Li Xuan said lazily.
It turned out that since Baoyue risked his life to break out of the besieged imperial city, brought in rescue troops, and defeated the Nangong family's troops, Li Xuan trusted her more. In addition, he felt uncomfortable in his body, so he gave Baoyue the position of governor of the country, who was fully responsible for handling all matters of the court. He basically ignored everything, but just listened to Baoyue's report every few days.
Thanks to my father, everything in the court affairs has gradually stabilized, and Jing'an City has completely restored normal order. Most of the prefectures in the country have basically not been affected by the rebels' uprising. It can be said that our Huatang has basically recovered from the war of the rebels' rebellion.
OK, very good!Baoyue Ah, you did not disappoint your father...
Li Xuan said happily: What reward do you want?Father satisfy you, haha.
It is the child’s responsibility to share his worries with his father and emperor, and he dare not take credit for his merits and seek rewards.
Li Xuan nodded in approval and suddenly sighed: Oh, if Prince Lier had half of you, he would be able to do it...
Humph, if he is not good at it, why not ruin him?Pass the throne to this princess.Baoyue said in anger.
Li Xuan sighed for a while and said: Baoyue Ah, you must assist your brother in the future, do you know?
My child obeys the order!
Baoyue responded with a crisp voice, but he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart and said to himself: Old man, I am working so hard for you, are you still thinking about passing the throne to that incompetent thing?Since you are so ruthless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous, hum!
At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and said: Oh, by the way, Zhennan...oh, how is Nangong Lingkong doing?
Baoyue and Yu Huatian looked at each other, exchanged glances secretly, and then heard Baoyue say: Nangong Lingkong's thief attempting to escape from prison has been killed!
What... what... Li Xuan stood up from the soft couch in shock.
It turned out that it was Bao Yue's idea to destroy Nangong Mansion and imprison Nangong Lingkong. Li Xuan actually didn't want to do this. Although he was also concerned about the power of the Nangong family, he still thought about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.
In fact, when Nangong Lingkong's two younger brothers and son rebelled, Li Xuan confirmed that this matter was inseparable from him. He even believed that he deliberately led his troops to fight and used the empty military force of the court to instruct his family to rebel. However, when he led his troops back, he did not seize his throne. Instead, he killed his relatives for justice to help him quell the rebellion. This made Li Xuan stunned and realized that even though the rest of the Nangong family had the intention of rebellion, Nangong Lingkong, as the Marquis of Zhennan, was definitely loyal.
Because of this, Li Xuan naturally felt that he did not want to hold Nangong Lingkong responsible, but Baoyue insisted on punishing his crime on the grounds that the crime of rebellion in Huatang Law must be implicated in the nine tribes. In addition, he also advocated that although Nangong Lingkong did not participate in this rebellion, who can guarantee that he will never rebel in the future?
Especially now that most of the Nangong family are killed, can he be indifferent to Nangong Lingkong?
So Li Xuan was shaken, but he still couldn't bear to kill Nangong Lingkong here, so he took him to prison first and then talked about it later.
Of course, in order to attract the remnants of the rebels, especially Nangong Xiuqi, it was announced to the public that he was about to be executed.
Li Xuan was stunned for a while, and finally fell down dejectedly and said: This... Why... Nangong Lingkong Ah Nangong Lingkong, I didn't want to kill you, why did you escape from prison...
Father, are you okay?
Li Xuan shook his hand and said: Forget it, it’s over. Since Nangong Lingkong has rebelled, the rest of the Nangong family cannot stay. How are the revenge of the rebels chasing?
My father, the rebels are no longer the same now, and the extermination is only a matter of time.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then lay down a little tired, waved his arms weakly and said: Okay, let's go down.
Baoyue and Yu Huatian responded together and then stepped down. Then, as soon as they walked out of the door, they heard Li Xuan say again: By the way, Baoyue, does your aunt Princess Clin have whereabouts?
Not yet, Father.Baoyue said lightly.
Oh, I got it, go down!
In fact, Baoyue knew that Clin was probably dead. That time she met Clin in Jiyan Palace in Guichou City. Although she did not admit that she was Princess Huatang at that time, and it was indeed not like a lie from her expression, but by intuition, Baoyue felt that she was her aunt Princess Clin. Later, in order to kill Nangong Xiuqi, she didn't care about this person who might be her aunt. Finally, she saw with her own eyes that Nangong Xiuqi and this person who might be her aunt were involved in an underground lake by a giant python. Although Nangong Xiuqi was not dead, he had deep skills after all, but Clin was probably not so lucky.
Baoyue didn't want to tell Li Xuan the truth about these words, because she knew that her father liked him very much. If she knew that she had killed her, even if it was unintentional, she might have affected her current status.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Baoyue walked on the pebbled garden path without getting rid of it. Yu Huatian followed her carefully, and seemed to dare not leave without permission without her order.
Master Yu, what do you think of Prince Li Li?Baoyue suddenly said something stupid.
Yu Huatian is so cunning, how could he not understand Baoyue’s thoughts?
To be honest, he did have a sense of awe of Baoyue. Although Baoyue was young, like a green apple, with the contacts these days, Yu Huatian felt that this woman's outstanding ability to deal with things, her high social skills and her fierce and vicious heart were all necessary factors for those who accomplish great things, so this forced him to move closer to Baoyue.
Please forgive me for your old minister and say frankly that His Royal Highness is greedy for playfulness and extravagance, and he is really unable to bear the important task of the future emperor.
Baoyue Baixian's delicate face showed a satisfied smile, and her tender lips opened gently: Is the national teacher also feeling Ah?
Not only do I think this is true for the ministers in the court.
Alas, it’s a pity that my father doesn’t think so, but instead makes us help the prince with our heart. This... Baoyue wants to say but stops but still feels unfulfilled.
Yu Huatian thought about it, and of course he understood what Baoyue meant. This girl wanted to take the prince and replace him, and she had a great ambition, so he quickly calculated the current situation and made plans that would be the most beneficial to him.
Um?
Seeing that Yu Huatian didn't say anything for a moment, Baoyue snorted faintly.
Yu Huatian wiped a layer of fine cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: The prince is incompetent to rule the world. Only like you, Princess, can you take this responsibility, but, just...
Just what?It's just a female spoiler, right?
I will never think this way, just other people in the court...
You don’t have to worry about other people, I just ask what you think?
I am willing to follow the princess!
Baoyue suddenly turned around, staring at Yu Huatian with a pair of wonderful eyes, as if she wanted to read something from his face.
Not long after, Baoyue giggled and said: OK, very good!This palace will not treat you badly.
Thank you Princess!
Baoyue nodded and seemed to say inadvertently: I heard that you have been preparing elixirs for your father?
Go back to the princess, this is indeed true!But recently I was busy supervising the construction of Zhaixing Tower and did not prepare new elixirs for the emperor in time. The emperor just said this when he summoned his ministers.
Baoyue smiled and said: National Master, this is yours. It is important to supervise the Zhaixing Tower, but the father's body is even more important!He must be happy physically and mentally.By the way, there is Concubine Wen Shu. Her father is in poor health, so she is not good. You saw it just now. She has been depressed recently, hilarious...
Yes, I will definitely prepare new elixirs as soon as possible.
At this time, Baoyue's smile subsided, stared at Yu Huatian's eyes and said word by word: Remember, the pills prepared this time must be better than before, and the power of the father's emperor is revealed again. More importantly, the pills prepared this time cannot be used for only a period of time like before, and must be effective every moment until...
Yu Huatian's heart was shocked. Baoyue's meaning was already very obvious. She wanted to murder her father to usurp the throne and seize power. This was a big deal. Yu Huatian suddenly felt a chill on his back and felt a chill in his heart.
And just after he was stunned and lost his mind, Baoyue had already walked away, leaving only a string of sweet voices floating over from afar: I am waiting for your good news Ah!Huh...
Looking at Baoyue's back floating away, Yu Huatian stood silently for a while, stunned for a while, finally made up his mind, and then turned around. The deep and quiet path was left with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing leaves, like a faint wave, indicating that a bloody palace struggle was coming...
Xiaobi smiled and said: Miss, don’t worry, I didn’t say that the young master is back.
Wang Rujiao blushed and scolded: Damn girl, you are smart, go out quickly!
Xiaobi ran out with a smile. Nangong Xiuqi was also quite embarrassed at this time, standing there and wondering what to say.
Wang Rujiao smiled as if nothing had happened, and said: Brother Qi, you heard it just now. The whole city is searching for your traces. I think you will be here in the past few days, okay?
Well, okay...Ah, no, no, I can't stay here.
Nangong Xiuqi nodded but suddenly remembered something again and said quickly.
Ah…then…then where are you going?Now there are searches everywhere outside, it is very dangerous for you to go out.Wang Rujiao said anxiously.
No, if I don’t leave, I will implicate you.
Nangong Xiuqi said anxiously: The officers and soldiers outside will find this soon.
It turned out that when Wang Rujiao mentioned the search for traces, Nangong Xiuqi suddenly thought of something, that was, she was spelled by the ghost mother of Mingshan. No matter where she went, she knew her whereabouts. It was because of this that the mistake that happened to visit the palace at night. Although Nangong Xiuqi still clearly remembered that the ghost mother of Mingshan had been severely injured by her, her limbs were all destroyed, and her chest was even printed with a palm. Logically, she had no hope of survival, but she was not 100% sure.
It is precisely because she dared not conclude that the ghost mother of Mingshan is dead that Nangong Xiuqi was worried that her whereabouts would be discovered, which would attract a large number of officers and soldiers. This would not only affect Wang Rujiao and her family, but also put sister-in-law and the others in danger.
Thinking of this, he could no longer stay, so he immediately told Wang Rujiao a brief reason and was about to leave.
But Brother Qi, where can you go now?
Wang Rujiao grabbed Nangong Xiuqi and said: Besides, you have been here all day. If they knew your whereabouts, they would have come long ago and there would not be any movement yet.
Nangong Xiuqi knew that Wang Rujiao's inference was also very reasonable, but there was also a possibility, that is, the reason why they had not found this was because the ghost mother of Mingshan was severely injured and had not woken up. Once she woke up, her whereabouts would naturally be exposed. Therefore, with the hidden danger of the ghost mother of Mingshan, she would always be in a state of no escape.
Sister Jiao, if this hidden danger is not eliminated, we will never have peace.
Wang Rujiao was silent for a while, as if thinking about something, and then said: Then do you want to go to the palace again to get rid of this hidden danger?
Nangong Xiuqi gritted his teeth and said: That’s right, that’s all!
good!Brother Qi, it’s true that Brother Qi that my sister likes. You didn’t disappoint me.
Wang Rujiao approached Nangong Xiuqi and whispered as she stroked his face with a slender hand.
After Nangong Xiuqi was slightly surprised, he felt relieved, thinking that Sister Jiao’s personality was indeed very different from other people. If it were someone else, such as Sister Liu Fengzi, he would definitely not let himself take risks with tears in his eyes, unlike Sister Jiao’s implicit encouragement.
Sister Jiao, then I'll go.
Silly brother, look at the sun is still hanging in the West Mountain, how can you go?You should sit here and rest for a while, and then go there late at night.
Haha, Sister Jiao is right!Nangong Xiuqi was embarrassed to scratch his head.
Wang Rujiao gave him a coquettish look, then walked out of the room and called Xiaobi to bring some wine and food. Soon, four or five exquisite dishes were placed on the small sandalwood round table. You can tell that the taste is definitely not wrong when you see it is good.
When the last plate of dishes was served, Xiao Bi took out something mysteriously from behind, shook it in front of Wang Rujiao and Nangong Xiuqi, and said with a smile: Look, I will bring you this thing.
The two of them looked closely and found that Xiaobi was holding a bottle of wine. Although she hadn't tasted it, the round luster emitted from the crystal clear porcelain bottle could tell that the wine here was not the ordinary wine sold on the streets and alleys.
Hey!Where did you get Ah from?Wang Rujiao's tone was quite surprising.
Xiaobi said proudly: Mr. Nangong is here, so I will definitely not be happy without wine, so I went to the kitchen to get a bottle of wine treasured by the master. At that time, Chen's mother was discovered. She was shocked and thought that the lady was actually drinking. Fortunately, I was smart and said that the lady had itchy skin and needed to apply it with wine, so I sent Chen's mother.
Wang Rujiao smiled and said: Not bad, you are smart!While saying that, he poured a cup for Nangong Xiuqi.
Of course!Xiaobi raised her head and said proudly.
Wang Rujiao sat down calmly, looked at Nangong Xiuqi with a smile, then glanced at Xiaobi, and said slowly: Brother Qi, when did you take this girl away?
Ah?Ahem...
Nangong Xiuqi, who was having a feast, was stunned when he heard this. Then the wine and food that had not yet completely eaten him suddenly choked in his throat and coughed violently.
Xiaobi blushed and said coquettishly: Miss, what were you...what were you saying?
I said let my brother Qi take over your Yuanhong.Wang Rujiao smiled faintly.
Ah…Miss, you, you…
Xiaobi covered her face with her hands so embarrassed that she stood there without moving.
Why... Wang Rujiao deliberately elongated her tone and said: Don’t you?
Me, I...I don't know... Xiaobi's mosquito-like voice floated out from her fingers.
At this time, no one could see that Xiaobi was willing, but she didn't dare to admit it due to the girl's shyness.
In fact, for her maid, it was a blessing to give her body to her master's man, at least a hundred times stronger than marrying a rough servant. What's more, Nangong Xiuqi was born into a noble family. Although her fortune is not good now and she is in a tragic situation of family destruction, Xiaobi witnessed his strength with her own eyes. The admiration for the strong naturally made her feel a little strange about Nangong Xiuqi. So when Wang Rujiao proposed to let Nangong Xiuqi take her Yuanhong, she was extremely shy and also had a little joy.
This...isn't that good?Nangong Xiuqi said a little embarrassedly.
Wang Rujiao covered her mouth and pretended to be surprised: Oh, when did my brother Qi become a good person? Even the woman who came to the door dared not ask for it?
Although he was just a smirking tone, Nangong Xiuqi's blood and energy surged up immediately after such aroused spirit. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he was extremely dissatisfied and said: Sister Jiao, what are you talking about?My Nangong Xiuqi dared to break into the palace, but he didn’t dare to accept the Yuanhong of Xiaobi, the girl?I was just afraid, afraid... Speaking of this, he actually felt a little embarrassed.
Huh...
Wang Ru smiled like a cunning fox. She blinked her eyes with a cunning cunning and said: What are you afraid of?
Cough cough... Actually, I'm not afraid of anything, I just think it's not suitable... Nangong Xiuqi said ambiguously.
Hearing this, Xiaobi's pretty face couldn't help but change color slightly.
Indeed, for a woman, especially a woman with a good appearance and a bit proud, being rejected is an embarrassing thing, and even considered a great humiliation!
Although Xiaobi is just a maid, she is considered a servant, but as a servant of the Prime Minister's Mansion and is also a personal maid of the prime minister's daughter. Her status is definitely different from that of the maid of ordinary wealthy families. Her high spirits are not inferior to that of ordinary wealthy families.
At this time, Wang Rujiao stopped her smile, stood up slowly, moved her lotus steps, walked to the square table in the corner of the house, uncovered the red silk sprig covering the animal skull, and said softly: Brother Qi, do you know why I put such a thing here?
Nangong Xiuqi looked at Wang Rujiao's expression, then looked at her hand stroking the animal skull, and thought to herself: Because you like it.
Wang Rujiao looked back and smiled at him, saying: Not bad, I like it!This is the skull of the prairie wolf. Putting it here makes me feel a kind of power and a kind of strength.That kind of instinctive blood courage and fighting made me feel infinite freedom in my heart.
These words were said softly and ethereal, as if they were muttering to themselves, or as if they were telling others. Xiaobi on one side was confused. Although she was Wang Rujiao's personal maid, she had never heard the lady say this before. She only knew that her lady was very different from ordinary daughters. Whether it was personality or hobbies, she knew nothing about why.
Nangong Xiuqi seemed to have some insight at this time, and slowly took a sip of wine and said: Sister Jiao, I understand what you mean.
Wang Rujiao gave a praise, then turned her eyes to Xiaobi. Nangong Xiuqi smiled, put down the wine glass, reached out to take it, and pulled Xiaobi, who was standing aside, into his arms.
Ah… Xiaobi, caught off guard, screamed in fear, but then she covered her mouth tightly, for fear that someone outside would hear it.
At this time, Nangong Xiuqi truly regained his nature. His big hand frivolously raised Xiaobi's pointed and curved chin and said with a smile: Little girl, are you willing to give Yuanhong to this young master?
Xiaobi's cheeks were flushed. Although she was still a little angry at this time, she nodded slightly. A humming sounded overflowed from her throat, and then she shyly turned her face to the side, and her slightly naive breasts were fluctuating violently.
In fact, compared with Wang Rujiao, Xiaobi's appearance is really nothing special, and she is young and has a slightly immature body. Therefore, it is difficult for Xiaobi to attract Nangong Xiuqi's attention when she is with Wang Rujiao, so he has never been involved, not because he is concerned about Wang Rujiao.
Nangong Xiuqi's two-colored hands patted Xiaobi's tender body for a few times and let her go, chuckled and said: OK, I'll take your Yuanhong in a while.
Wang Ru nodded with a smile: That's good!But I want to hear your specific plans.
Nangong Xiuqi was stunned and puzzled: What are your specific plans?
Um!
Wang Rujiao slowly walked back to the table and said: You heard it just now. In a few days, my father will ask us to move and leave Jing'an City. Look...
this…
Nangong Xiuqi thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and said: Marry a chicken and follow the chicken. You are my wife, of course you can't follow your parents' home.
Wang Rujiao stared at Nangong Xiuqi in a daze, with a strange light flashing in her eyes. Suddenly, she rushed into Nangong Xiuqi's arms, wrapped her arms around his neck, and her elixir lips pressed tightly on his mouth. After a slight moment, Nangong Xiuqi responded like a hot fire. The two of them intersected their lips and teeth, and their body fluids were lingering each other, and they couldn't tell each other. They ignored the fact that they were blushing with shame, turned their faces but glanced at Xiaobi from time to time.
The sun is falling in the west, and the palace is in the palace.
Although the sky has not completely turned black, it is already brightly lit here, and various palace lanterns, large or small, reflect the magnificent palace like daytime. Emperor Li Xuan was sitting lazily on a soft couch. Compared to the previous time, his body was thinner and his face became paler. His eyes were almost sinking deep into his eye sockets, completely withered.
Master Yu, how has the Zhaixing Tower been built?Li Xuan's breathless voice floated out of his dry mouth.
Back to the emperor, the main project of the foundation was basically completed.Yu Huatian replied respectfully.
Li Xuan frowned slightly and said: Why haven’t the foundation been built until today?Are you, the creator, not doing your best?
Yu Huatian knelt down in a hurry and kowtowed: I must not dare. The Zhaixing Tower project is really huge, and the silver and manpower are not enough, so...
Li Xuan said unhappily: I have ordered the Ministry of Revenue to allocate 200,000 gold coins to you and collect 800 laborers. Why is it not enough?
The emperor clearly explained that although the Ministry of Revenue allocated 200,000 gold coins in silver, the situation has been quite uneasy since the start of construction of Zhaixing Tower. First, there were conquering the demon temple, and then rebels raised troops, which made the government and the public uneasy. The prices among the people soared, and even more serious, there was a shortage of materials. Therefore, the various materials for building Zhaixing Tower were always in a shortage, and it also took time to transfer from other places. In addition...
OK OK OK!
Li Xuan interrupted Yu Huatian impatiently. I know everything, so I should hurry up and build it.
Obey the subject!
Li Xuan took a deep breath, sat on the soft couch a little depressedly, waved to Yu Huatian and said: Master Yu, come here!
Yu Huatian quickly took two steps forward and put his ear close, but heard Li Xuanwei breathing: I don’t know what happened recently, but I feel that the pill you gave you seem to be less powerful than before. Why is this because of Ah?
Yu Huatian naturally knew this reason. No matter what kind of drug is, how powerful it is, once taken for a long time, the body of the taker will naturally develop resistance, and the drug power will be greatly reduced. Therefore, he dispensed Li Xuan with more potent drugs every once in a while, but in recent times, he delayed the refining of medicine due to his busy construction of Zhaixing Tower.
Of course, Yu Huatian naturally would not tell the truth about this reason. He thought for a moment and said: Go back to the emperor, this medicine has been refining for a long time, and it is estimated that the medicinal properties have been weakened, so...
Before he finished speaking, a delicate voice came from behind: Since you know why don’t you refine a new pill for the emperor?Master Yu is too unwilling to take the emperor's needs into consideration.
Without looking back, just listening to the sound and the fragrant wind that came from afar, Yu Huatian knew that the visitor was the emperor's favorite Concubine Wen Shu. At this time, Li Xuan smiled and said: "Beloved concubine, you are wronged by the national master. Recently, the national master was busy supervising the construction of the Star Piercing Tower, so he delayed the refining of elixirs."
The emperor is wise!Yu Huatian thanked Li Xuan in panic for speaking for him.
Oh, Your Majesty, you haven't been to someone else's Wuyang Palace for several days. You are neglecting others. Now you don't speak for others, and you don't follow Ah...
Concubine Wen Shu rushed to Li Xuan's arms like a gust of fragrant wind, her voice extremely coquettish.
Cough cough... I'm busy lately, don't mind my beloved concubine... Li Xuan said with a dry smile.
Yu Huatian laughed in his heart. He knew that the emperor could not satisfy Concubine Wen Shu because he did not have enough medicine, so he had no choice but to avoid it. So he thought about what kind of elixir he should give the emperor next.
Then Master, you must go to someone else tonight, otherwise I won’t agree.Concubine Wen Shu said with adorability.
That's it...
Just as he was worried about how to answer Concubine Wen Shu, the eunuch's sharp voice suddenly came from outside: Princess Baoyue has arrived... Li Xuanru was rescued and hurriedly said: Hurry up!
Now Princess Baoyue is deeply trusted by Li Xuan, and she also holds heavy troops. Her power can be said to be at its peak. Her prestige among the ministers is increasing day by day. Concubine Wen Shu didn't dare to act cute in front of her, so she had to shut up obediently.
My son, please see the father!
Baoyue was wearing military uniform and clasped her fists and said: Shu Erchen is in her armor and cannot salute.
Haha, it's exempt.
Baoyue is petite and strictly speaking, an undeveloped girl will definitely look out of place when wearing thick armor. However, this outfit is not like this now. The silver-white armor is obviously customized for her. It is exquisite in style and is dressed in close body. The lower edge of the armor is like a skirt, and it is heroic and charming.
My beloved concubine, you go back first, I want to talk about something.
Concubine Wen pouted, looking very unhappy, but she didn't dare to refuse, so she had to glance at Baoyue with a little dissatisfaction and stood up angrily.
Baoyue Ah, what is the government’s affairs these days?Say it to me.Li Xuan said lazily.
It turned out that since Baoyue risked his life to break out of the besieged imperial city, brought in rescue troops, and defeated the Nangong family's troops, Li Xuan trusted her more. In addition, he felt uncomfortable in his body, so he gave Baoyue the position of governor of the country, who was fully responsible for handling all matters of the court. He basically ignored everything, but just listened to Baoyue's report every few days.
Thanks to my father, everything in the court affairs has gradually stabilized, and Jing'an City has completely restored normal order. Most of the prefectures in the country have basically not been affected by the rebels' uprising. It can be said that our Huatang has basically recovered from the war of the rebels' rebellion.
OK, very good!Baoyue Ah, you did not disappoint your father...
Li Xuan said happily: What reward do you want?Father satisfy you, haha.
It is the child’s responsibility to share his worries with his father and emperor, and he dare not take credit for his merits and seek rewards.
Li Xuan nodded in approval and suddenly sighed: Oh, if Prince Lier had half of you, he would be able to do it...
Humph, if he is not good at it, why not ruin him?Pass the throne to this princess.Baoyue said in anger.
Li Xuan sighed for a while and said: Baoyue Ah, you must assist your brother in the future, do you know?
My child obeys the order!
Baoyue responded with a crisp voice, but he gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart and said to himself: Old man, I am working so hard for you, are you still thinking about passing the throne to that incompetent thing?Since you are so ruthless, don’t blame me for being unrighteous, hum!
At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly remembered something and said: Oh, by the way, Zhennan...oh, how is Nangong Lingkong doing?
Baoyue and Yu Huatian looked at each other, exchanged glances secretly, and then heard Baoyue say: Nangong Lingkong's thief attempting to escape from prison has been killed!
What... what... Li Xuan stood up from the soft couch in shock.
It turned out that it was Bao Yue's idea to destroy Nangong Mansion and imprison Nangong Lingkong. Li Xuan actually didn't want to do this. Although he was also concerned about the power of the Nangong family, he still thought about the relationship between the monarch and the ministers.
In fact, when Nangong Lingkong's two younger brothers and son rebelled, Li Xuan confirmed that this matter was inseparable from him. He even believed that he deliberately led his troops to fight and used the empty military force of the court to instruct his family to rebel. However, when he led his troops back, he did not seize his throne. Instead, he killed his relatives for justice to help him quell the rebellion. This made Li Xuan stunned and realized that even though the rest of the Nangong family had the intention of rebellion, Nangong Lingkong, as the Marquis of Zhennan, was definitely loyal.
Because of this, Li Xuan naturally felt that he did not want to hold Nangong Lingkong responsible, but Baoyue insisted on punishing his crime on the grounds that the crime of rebellion in Huatang Law must be implicated in the nine tribes. In addition, he also advocated that although Nangong Lingkong did not participate in this rebellion, who can guarantee that he will never rebel in the future?
Especially now that most of the Nangong family are killed, can he be indifferent to Nangong Lingkong?
So Li Xuan was shaken, but he still couldn't bear to kill Nangong Lingkong here, so he took him to prison first and then talked about it later.
Of course, in order to attract the remnants of the rebels, especially Nangong Xiuqi, it was announced to the public that he was about to be executed.
Li Xuan was stunned for a while, and finally fell down dejectedly and said: This... Why... Nangong Lingkong Ah Nangong Lingkong, I didn't want to kill you, why did you escape from prison...
Father, are you okay?
Li Xuan shook his hand and said: Forget it, it’s over. Since Nangong Lingkong has rebelled, the rest of the Nangong family cannot stay. How are the revenge of the rebels chasing?
My father, the rebels are no longer the same now, and the extermination is only a matter of time.
Li Xuan nodded with satisfaction, then lay down a little tired, waved his arms weakly and said: Okay, let's go down.
Baoyue and Yu Huatian responded together and then stepped down. Then, as soon as they walked out of the door, they heard Li Xuan say again: By the way, Baoyue, does your aunt Princess Clin have whereabouts?
Not yet, Father.Baoyue said lightly.
Oh, I got it, go down!
In fact, Baoyue knew that Clin was probably dead. That time she met Clin in Jiyan Palace in Guichou City. Although she did not admit that she was Princess Huatang at that time, and it was indeed not like a lie from her expression, but by intuition, Baoyue felt that she was her aunt Princess Clin. Later, in order to kill Nangong Xiuqi, she didn't care about this person who might be her aunt. Finally, she saw with her own eyes that Nangong Xiuqi and this person who might be her aunt were involved in an underground lake by a giant python. Although Nangong Xiuqi was not dead, he had deep skills after all, but Clin was probably not so lucky.
Baoyue didn't want to tell Li Xuan the truth about these words, because she knew that her father liked him very much. If she knew that she had killed her, even if it was unintentional, she might have affected her current status.
After leaving the Yangxin Palace, Baoyue walked on the pebbled garden path without getting rid of it. Yu Huatian followed her carefully, and seemed to dare not leave without permission without her order.
Master Yu, what do you think of Prince Li Li?Baoyue suddenly said something stupid.
Yu Huatian is so cunning, how could he not understand Baoyue’s thoughts?
To be honest, he did have a sense of awe of Baoyue. Although Baoyue was young, like a green apple, with the contacts these days, Yu Huatian felt that this woman's outstanding ability to deal with things, her high social skills and her fierce and vicious heart were all necessary factors for those who accomplish great things, so this forced him to move closer to Baoyue.
Please forgive me for your old minister and say frankly that His Royal Highness is greedy for playfulness and extravagance, and he is really unable to bear the important task of the future emperor.
Baoyue Baixian's delicate face showed a satisfied smile, and her tender lips opened gently: Is the national teacher also feeling Ah?
Not only do I think this is true for the ministers in the court.
Alas, it’s a pity that my father doesn’t think so, but instead makes us help the prince with our heart. This... Baoyue wants to say but stops but still feels unfulfilled.
Yu Huatian thought about it, and of course he understood what Baoyue meant. This girl wanted to take the prince and replace him, and she had a great ambition, so he quickly calculated the current situation and made plans that would be the most beneficial to him.
Um?
Seeing that Yu Huatian didn't say anything for a moment, Baoyue snorted faintly.
Yu Huatian wiped a layer of fine cold sweat from his forehead and said hurriedly: The prince is incompetent to rule the world. Only like you, Princess, can you take this responsibility, but, just...
Just what?It's just a female spoiler, right?
I will never think this way, just other people in the court...
You don’t have to worry about other people, I just ask what you think?
I am willing to follow the princess!
Baoyue suddenly turned around, staring at Yu Huatian with a pair of wonderful eyes, as if she wanted to read something from his face.
Not long after, Baoyue giggled and said: OK, very good!This palace will not treat you badly.
Thank you Princess!
Baoyue nodded and seemed to say inadvertently: I heard that you have been preparing elixirs for your father?
Go back to the princess, this is indeed true!But recently I was busy supervising the construction of Zhaixing Tower and did not prepare new elixirs for the emperor in time. The emperor just said this when he summoned his ministers.
Baoyue smiled and said: National Master, this is yours. It is important to supervise the Zhaixing Tower, but the father's body is even more important!He must be happy physically and mentally.By the way, there is Concubine Wen Shu. Her father is in poor health, so she is not good. You saw it just now. She has been depressed recently, hilarious...
Yes, I will definitely prepare new elixirs as soon as possible.
At this time, Baoyue's smile subsided, stared at Yu Huatian's eyes and said word by word: Remember, the pills prepared this time must be better than before, and the power of the father's emperor is revealed again. More importantly, the pills prepared this time cannot be used for only a period of time like before, and must be effective every moment until...
Yu Huatian's heart was shocked. Baoyue's meaning was already very obvious. She wanted to murder her father to usurp the throne and seize power. This was a big deal. Yu Huatian suddenly felt a chill on his back and felt a chill in his heart.
And just after he was stunned and lost his mind, Baoyue had already walked away, leaving only a string of sweet voices floating over from afar: I am waiting for your good news Ah!Huh...
Looking at Baoyue's back floating away, Yu Huatian stood silently for a while, stunned for a while, finally made up his mind, and then turned around. The deep and quiet path was left with only the rustling sound of the wind blowing leaves, like a faint wave, indicating that a bloody palace struggle was coming...
