Madam, protect me!
Chapter 346 The Queen's Choice
In Zhao State, forced kissing is an "indecent crime" and is punishable by imprisonment for up to five years or criminal detention depending on the seriousness of the case.
This is the law that Li Nuo just revised.
There is no distinction between men and women.
Her Majesty the Queen forcibly kissed him without his consent.
She broke the law.
Because the circumstances are minor, the offender shall be detained for not less than five days but not more than ten days, and shall also be fined.
This time, Li Nuo didn't give her any relevant hints.
But he didn't have time to verify whether the molestation was effective. Yi Ren strode in, forced them to separate, glared at them, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Li Nuo looked at the beautiful woman and said, "If I said that Your Majesty is helping me practice, would you believe it?"
After a while.
Li Nuo sat on the steps outside Zhaoyang Palace and looked back. The door of the palace was closed tightly and no sound came out. He didn't know what they said inside.
He really didn't expect that the Queen would help him like this.
But just because I didn’t expect it, it might actually be effective.
If you were molested, just molest it. It wasn't the first time. Last time Li Nuo was trying to save her, this time she was trying to help Li Nuo.
After going back and forth, the two people were considered even.
In Zhaoyang Hall, Song Yiren put her hands on her hips and said angrily: "Even if you are helping him practice, can't you use other methods?"
Zhao Zhiyi shook his head and said: "We have tried other methods just now, but they have no effect. I can only make this last resort."
Song Yiren said angrily: "Then you can't, you can't..."
Zhao Zhiyi looked at her and said: "To express my apology, I will help you prepare for your wedding. Although I don't know how grand your sister's wedding was when she married him, I guarantee that your wedding will be more grand than theirs." grand……"
"..."
Song Yiren's lips moved, and she could no longer say any angry words. She asked in a low voice: "You, have you eavesdropped on our conversation?"
Zhao Zhiyi said: "I heard it accidentally."
Song Yiren looked at the ground, thoughts racing in her mind.
He was supposed to be her husband, and she was supposed to be the eldest lady of the Li family. Even if someone else stepped in, she still hoped that her wedding could be the grandest and most honorable among them.
But she also knew that this wish would be difficult to realize in Daxia.
The wedding of Li Nuo and Song Jiaren Li Anning was arranged by the Emperor of Daxia at the Daxia court.
Even her wedding was planned by the court, but it could not be more grand than the wedding of Princess Daxia.
But it's different in Zhao State.
Zhao Zhiyi is the emperor of the Zhao Kingdom. She will do whatever she says. It is really possible for her to realize her wish in the Zhao Kingdom.
After a long silence, Song Yiren pursed her lips, looked at Zhao Zhiyi, and said sheepishly: "I'm sorry, I didn't know you were helping him practice. Your attitude just now was a bit bad, don't worry..."
Li Nuo sat on the steps for a while, and then the palace door opened behind him.
The Yi and the Queen walked out of it arm in arm, and Li Nuo was stunned.
The relationship between women is sometimes really difficult to understand.
Zhao Zhiyi is not an all-around person like Phoenix. Therefore, even though she and her husband met every day for half a year in Zhao Guoguo, they did not develop any friendship. On the contrary, they even linked arms because of this conflict...
Could it be that there is no acquaintance without fighting?
Her Majesty the Queen forcibly kissed Li Nuo without his consent. According to Zhao Guoxin's law, she had to be imprisoned for at least five days. However, as the victim, Li Nuo was willing to forgive her, as long as she reflected in the royal study for an hour. Just pay attention next time.
The moment she stepped into the royal study, the code finally changed.
As expected, her portrait appeared on the code.
Zhao Zhiyi looked at Li Nuo and asked, "Is this okay?"
Li Nuo nodded and said: "Although the improvement in cultivation is very weak, it is indeed useful..."
In fact, because of his impure motives, his cultivation level has not improved at all, but her portrait is more useful than simply improving his cultivation level.
Song Yiren then remembered something, looked at Li Nuo, and said with a mysterious face: "Guess who I just saw on the street!"
Li Nuo asked: "Who?"
Song Yiren said: "The old man who told me my fortune!"
In fact, she was about to tell Li Nuo about this just now, but she was interrupted by that incident.
Li Nuo's face moved slightly. Judging from the results of his fortune telling, there was no doubt that the old man must be the Yin Yang family of the sixth realm.
The Yin and Yang family in the sixth realm have a unique ability, which is that they can transfer their life span to others. It complements the ability of the code, and Li Nuo must find a way to get it.
The National Master of the State of Zhao is also a Yin Yang family in the sixth realm, but his status is too special. He has dedicated his whole life to the State of Zhao. Even the Queen must maintain enough respect for him.
Li Nuo couldn't attack him, otherwise even the queen's reputation would be affected.
But this sixth realm Yin Yang family is a very good target.
Zhao Zhiyi looked at Yi Ren and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
Li Nuo said: "A very powerful Yin Yang family, his cultivation level may not be weaker than that of a national master..."
After listening to what he said, Zhao Zhiyi thought for a moment and asked: "If the Yin and Yang family in the sixth realm put all their efforts into it, can they calculate the outcome of the inheritance in advance?"
Li Nuo said: "It depends on which country it is. If it is a small country, the loss of some lifespan of the Yin and Yang family in the sixth realm can be calculated, but they will definitely not be able to calculate the national destiny of the five major dynasties... "
The Emperor of Zhao is in the sixth realm, and he is responsible for the destiny of the country and the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people.
The national master of the Zhao Kingdom is only from the Yin Yang family in the sixth realm. If he can calculate the result of seizing the heir, the princes will not have to worry about it for so long. They can just ask him to calculate the fortune.
Even if he risked his life and forced the settlement, there would be no chance for the secret to be revealed.
Thinking of the old fortune teller, Li Nuo looked at Zhao Zhiyi and said, "How about your Majesty do me another favor..."
Not long after, Li Nuo and Yi Ren left the imperial study.
Zhao Zhiyi took out a piece of letterhead from the book and stared at the content on it.
Master Gongsun has been by her side since she was very young.
Could it be said that at that time, she would have reached the result she has today?
This is something that even the national master cannot do.
Could it be that her cultivation level is higher than that of the national master?
Then there are only saints from the Yin Yang family.
She watched helplessly as Master Gongsun's body was burned to ashes by the flames, and her ashes were scattered into the river according to her request during her lifetime.
Master Gongsun is dead, but there are more and more mysteries surrounding her.
Should she listen to the words in this letter?
Soon, she made her decision.
For Zhao Guo, I can only...
…
The streets of the capital.
"Test your fortune and calculate your marriage!"
"No money required!"
"One hexagram and ten texts, no child or old man can be deceived!"
On a street corner somewhere, in front of a fortune-telling stall, a pair of old and young people looked at the passers-by and shouted a few words from time to time.
The common people glanced at it from time to time, but few came forward to tell fortunes.
If it was the old man who told fortunes, they might still be a little interested, but sitting in front of the booth was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, which was hard to believe.
Less than half an hour later, only two customers came to the door. After hearing that the little girl was telling fortunes, they shook their heads and left.
The girl sighed, turned around and asked, "Grandpa, aren't we leaving?"
The old man shook his head and said, "I'm not leaving."
For the Yin Yang family, one can see a person's future with just a few clicks.
No matter where you go, this doesn't change.
Compared with the established destiny, the unknown destiny makes him more curious.
In the morning, he did a fortune telling for himself.
It's a good time to go out today.
No guests came to the door, so the girl played with the copper coins in her hand out of boredom.
Suddenly, she saw a shadow appear in front of her.
Several figures in official uniforms with knives on their waists stood in front of the table. A policeman led by them looked at the grandfather and grandson and said: "Stalling is not allowed here, come with us..."
The girl looked back at the old man.
The old man counted with his fingers, with a somewhat stunned expression on his face.
Not really.
The reason why it can't be calculated is not because of the Onmyoji itself, but because the matter involves a strong person of the same level.
In the capital of Zhao State, there were only two such people.
After excluding his old friend, only Her Majesty the Queen remained.
And who is behind the Queen, even the children on the streets of the capital know.
He stood up slowly, put his hands behind his back, and said, "Let's go."
The grandfather and grandson were imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment for an hour for unlicensed fortune-telling and were fined ten cents. They were released an hour later.
After walking out of the Criminal Department, the old fortune teller glanced at the palace, with a strange smile on his face, and whispered: "Good boy..."
…
Zhaoyang Hall.
The portrait of the old fortune teller finally appeared on the codex.
Although Li Nuo does not have the Yin Yang family's cultivation in his body at this moment, he has a wealth of knowledge about the Yin Yang family.
The Yin Yang family is extremely mysterious, and the books he has read only have the most basic introductions.
Taking advantage of the one-day validity period, Li Nuo planned to digest some of this knowledge.
Within the Yin Yang family, there are several major factions, each with different theories. It was precisely because of the differences in theories that the original Yin Yang family went from unity to division.
Each of these major factions has its own theory, but generally speaking, it can be divided into two factions: Northern and Southern.
The Northern School is an optimistic school and believes that although destiny is determined by heaven, the Yin and Yang family can change it against the will of heaven.
For example, according to Yin Yang magic, someone has one year left to live, but the Yin Yang family can make him die a few months earlier or extend his life for a period of time.
The Southern School is relatively pessimistic, believing that fate cannot be changed, and that the actions of the Yin Yang family to change fate are included in the greater destiny.
They firmly believe that the outcome of this world has been doomed since its birth.
The Southern School also believes that there is a Creator above the sky.
And this entire continent, even the entire world, every plant, every tree, every mountain, every stone, all life and non-life, was created by the Creator, and this Creator is the source of all destiny.
Legalists have a similar view.
In order to promote their own ideas, the ancient Legalists also preached that all the laws of this world were formulated by the Creator, and Legalists were the carrier for the Creator to maintain the rules, so that all countries would respect Legalists.
There are also legendary calligraphers who have the same view.
The Yin Yang family only sees the future, and at most it can increase or decrease a person's life. The calligrapher can rewrite a person's specific life with just one pen, making a beggar become an emperor, making the emperor a beggar, and making a saint lose his cultivation. , making ordinary people become saints in an instant, even making living people die and the dead resurrected...
The world is created and destroyed in just one word.
Calligraphers believe that there is also a Creator, but they have a different view from the Legalists. They try to make people believe that the world is actually a book, and all destiny has already been written in the general outline...
As night fell, Li Nuo rubbed his dizzy head.
The Yin Yang family in the sixth realm was really too knowledgeable. Under Li Nuo's active exploration, all his life's knowledge and insights poured into his mind, making Li Nuo's thoughts extremely confused and he stopped exploring on his own initiative.
No wonder the Yin and Yang family went crazy until the end of their cultivation. To the end of their cultivation, each family would almost invariably think about who I am, where I come from, what is the nature of this world, and how does it work...
Even the Yin and Yang family in the sixth realm don't know the answers to these questions.
Perhaps, only when he enters the seventh realm can he unveil a little of the mystery of this world...
Li Nuo no longer thinks about these problems. Instead of thinking about philosophy, it is better to play a few games of backgammon with her, and whoever loses will kiss the other person.
When he used to play with An Ning, whoever lost would take off a piece of clothing, but now he and Yi Ren have not reached this level...
…
As the time entered June, the lines of people queuing up to complain gradually disappeared at the entrances of the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple.
In the past half month, nearly a hundred officials and dignitaries have been dealt with by the court.
The officials of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have greatly improved their cultivation, and the number of officials who have broken through is more than ten.
This was the first fire that the Queen lit after she came to power.
Her second passion was medical reform.
The Queen has officially issued a decree to accelerate the medical reform. The first batch of state-owned medical clinics in the capital are almost completed to ensure that every common person has access to and affords medical treatment.
In addition, many reforms of the imperial court are also progressing steadily.
Zhaoyang Hall.
Li Nuo looked at the numbers on the almanac and saw that they left on the sixth day of the first lunar month.
Today is the ninth day of June. It has been five months since he and Yiren left home.
In the past half month, he had dealt with many officials and dignitaries, and his cultivation level had improved slightly. His lost life span had all been made up, and even more.
The reason why life span has increased so quickly is due to the modification of the law.
He has verified that it is indeed possible to obtain greater benefits by amending the law and increasing the prison term.
Since the code was passed, it shows that it also felt that the original sentence was too short.
A sentence of thirty years in prison can add one month to one's life.
What surprised Li Nuo even more was that after he revised the upper limit of prison sentences, the upper limit of life span that the death penalty could increase also changed.
It seems that in the eyes of the Code, the death penalty should not increase life expectancy any less than a prison sentence.
When the maximum prison sentence is five years, the death penalty can only be increased by ten days.
When the maximum sentence is ten years, the death penalty may be increased by twenty days.
When the maximum sentence is fifteen years, the death penalty may be increased by thirty days.
If the prison sentence is later increased, the life span increased by the death penalty remains unchanged.
In other words, an ordinary prisoner can add one month to his life at most.
Twelve death row inmates can extend his life by one year.
He had always felt that the code was too stingy. A prisoner's life could only be exchanged for ten days for him, and it did not take human life seriously. Now it seems that he did not master the method at the beginning.
The ability of the code needs to be developed by oneself.
After returning to Daxia, the first thing he wanted to carry out was the reform of the law.
At the beginning, officials from the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Zongzheng Temple were too busy.
But these days, there aren't many new cases.
Li Nuo's cultivation and life span have almost stagnated, and it's time to go back.
In the imperial study room.
Zhao Zhiyi was correcting the memorial, his arm trembled slightly, and a ball of ink smeared on the memorial.
She stood up and asked, "Are you leaving?"
Li Nuo nodded and said, "I have been here in Zhao for almost half a year, and it's time to go back."
Zhao Zhiyi said nothing more, just asked: "When are you leaving?"
Li Nuo said: "Tomorrow."
She raised her head and blurted out: "So fast?"
Without waiting for Li Nuo to answer, she lowered her head again and said to herself: "You have been away from home for so long, you should have wanted to go back..."
She thought for a while and said, "I will arrange for someone to take you back."
Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "No need."
Although there was only less than half a year between coming to Zhao and returning to Daxia, the situation was completely different.
Yi Ren is already a martial arts master in the fifth realm, Li Nuo himself has a cultivation level in the fifth realm of Legalism, and the Strategist has reached the peak of the fourth realm. The only one who can pose a threat to them is the sixth realm.
Unless she sends them back in person, the guards in the fifth realm will have no effect at all.
Zhao Zhi realized the strength of the two of them and said: "Then I will send you out of Zhao country..."
Li Nuo wanted to refuse, but Zhao Zhiyi did not give her a chance to refuse and said, "That's it."
Li Nuo didn't say anything else. With her escort, it would save them a lot of time on the road.
Because they were leaving tomorrow, Zhao Zhiyi asked the imperial kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal in the evening to see them off in Zhaoyang Palace.
The three of them drank a lot of wine. Although Li Nuo was drunk, he did not use his true qi to sober up.
There should still be some atmosphere on the night of farewell.
Yiren also drank so much that her face flushed. After the farewell banquet, Zhao Zhiyi took her hand and said, "You are leaving tomorrow. Let's sleep together tonight. I still have something to say to you..."
Song Yiren did not hesitate, nodded, and said, "Okay..."
A moment later, in the Queen's bedroom, Zhao Zhiyi looked at Song Yiren and asked, "When do you plan to get married? I will ask the Ministry of Rites to prepare for you in advance?"
Song Yiren asked uncertainly, "Will the Zhao court agree?"
Zhao Zhiyi smiled and said, "I am the Queen, they have to listen to me. If they don't agree, I will make you a princess, so they have to agree even if they don't agree..."
Song Yiren hugged her arm and was moved: "Zhiyi, you are so nice..."
Zhao Zhiyi waved and turned off the lights, saying, "Go to bed early, you still have to travel tomorrow..."
The two of them lay on the bed, sleeping next to the Queen of the Sixth Realm. Song Yiren was very relieved and fell asleep soon.
As her breathing gradually became stable, Zhao Zhiyi's eyes slowly opened beside her.
It was late at night.
Zhaoyang Palace, another room.
Being in the palace, in the Queen's bedroom, Li Nuo naturally didn't have to worry about any assassination. After returning to the room, he fell asleep drunk.
He didn't know that a figure had quietly come to his bedside while he was sleeping soundly.
