Rebirth of the Anti Demon Gate

In the demon country, the relationship between the emperor and empress has always been the most keenly pondered by many ministers.When talking about their current demon queen, the ministers always have endless things to say.The girls of the Murong family of the Mermaid Clan used to cover their faces with black scarves before they got married, but their demon queen, even after entering the harem, still showed her face to others.Everyone is very curious about the appearance of the Demon Empress. It is said that even in Fengzao Terrace, she hides her face all day long, and the only ones who can see her face are the Demon Emperor and his personal servants. In the past 15 years, the Demon Emperor has never stayed at Fengzao Terrace except for his wedding day.Some people guessed that the Demon Empress might be too ugly, so she was ignored by Her Majesty.But what is puzzling is that the rewards to Fengzao Palace have never stopped. Every time there is a tribute, Ji Nanfeng always sends the best to Fengzao Terrace.Over the years, the Demon Emperor Xinna has had countless concubines, including the deceased Mrs. Jia Rong, and the now vigorous Mrs. Qin Se. However, no one can shake the queen's position.For example, today, on the Demon Queen's birthday, the Demon Emperor specially held this grand banquet for her. All the officials congratulated her, and even the four Demon Kings were present. This is enough to show that the Demon Emperor attaches great importance to the Demon Queen.

In the audience seat, the Demon Empress and Demon Emperor sat side by side, accompanied by other concubines on both sides.All the officials were seated under the stage headed by the four kings. Among them, the Shark King was the most proud and his face was flushed. The Eagle King and the Wolf King were fighting for wine, and only the Fox King sat lonely in his seat.

Lan Xuanqi remained silent, the sense of loss exuding all over her body was incompatible with the lively atmosphere at the banquet.His thoughts are not here at all, Xuan has been missing for a few days, he has searched almost the entire imperial city but there is no news, as if this person has never existed before.For the past few days, he has searched without eating or drinking, his body has reached its limit, he has not slept for several days, and he does not want to come to any banquet today at all.It happened that he was sitting diagonally opposite Princess Tianmu and his son-in-law, An Yi. Seeing An Yi's familiar face, his yearning for the other person became even stronger.

Mu Ziqian did not ignore the gaze cast from the opposite side, that gaze was clearly looking for the shadow of another person on his body.Fifth Prince, what virtue and ability do you have to let so many people feel sad for you, it is the same in Anguo, and it is also the same in Yao Country.

Thinking of Xuan who was trapped in Chonghua Palace, Mu Ziqian had his own hesitation.He is very clear about the prince's affection for the fifth prince. If this matter is reported to the prince, the prince will definitely order him to rescue the fifth prince.If there are two ways to save people, the first is to rescue people directly, not to mention whether they can escape from the demon country, this method will inevitably expose their replacement plan, and the demon country will have an excuse to attack Anguo again, so His Royal Highness will never use such a method.The second method is reverse replacement. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will order him to switch with the fifth prince again, the fifth prince will be the son-in-law, and he will be replaced by the current Prince Xuan, accompanying the Demon Emperor.This method has two advantages but no harm. First, it can save the Fifth Prince, and second, it is easier to inquire about important news if you get close to the Demon Emperor.Comparing the two methods, the prince must give up the former and choose the latter.

Why does he have to be that person's substitute every time, just like that person's shadow, without a bit of self.Mu Ziqian had a grudge in his heart, for the sake of the crown prince, he could be the fake son-in-law for the fifth prince, but he didn't want to be the male favourite of the demon emperor for An Yi.Because he knew that if he really became the Demon Emperor's man, then An Qi would never want him again.An Yi is a hurdle between him and the prince, as long as An Yi is there, His Royal Highness the Prince will never look at him.Now that the fifth prince is in the hands of the demon emperor, as long as the prince does not come to the demon country, he will never know that the fifth prince is here.

It would be more beneficial for him not to report or save him. Presumably the Fifth Prince would not dare to reveal his true identity to the Demon Emperor. After confirming the position of the fifth prince, he doesn't want to be the shadow of others.

After making up his mind, Mu Ziqian decided to completely forget about meeting Xuan this morning, as if it had never happened.

After thirty days of drinking, the atmosphere gradually heated up, and the ministers below also got rid of their restraint and began to interact.The demon queen who was sitting in the upper position finally breathed a sigh of relief. She actually didn't like such an occasion, even though the banquet was to celebrate her birthday.

"My queen doesn't seem very happy." Ji Nanfeng held the wine in his hand and stared at the woman sitting beside him.She was wearing a red golden phoenix palace dress, her long silver hair was tied behind her head with a pearl hairpin, her dark blue eyes were like the sea, and a black veil blocked most of her face.

"Today is the concubine's birthday, and His Majesty specially arranged such a grand banquet for the concubine, how could the concubine be unhappy." The demon queen's gentle voice fit her quiet personality very well.

"That's right, that's good." The corners of Ji Nanfeng's mouth rose slightly, "I didn't expect Yun Chu to come too, it's the empress's face."

The person the Demon Emperor mentioned was the man standing beside the Wolf King, Situ Yunchu, the next head of the Situ family.Although Situ Yunchu has not yet taken over the position of Wolf King, he has already shown outstanding talent when discussing affairs on weekdays.He is young and mature, resourceful and resourceful, but his temperament is withdrawn, he likes to be quiet and not noisy, and he basically does not participate in banquets like this.The Demon Emperor knew his temperament well, so he let him go without forcing him.

"Young master Situ can appear, and the concubine is also surprised." The demon queen's eyes flashed, "It must be for the sake of the emperor."

"..." Ji Nanfeng just smiled and said nothing.

"I heard that the emperor brought a person from outside the palace a few days ago and placed him in the Chonghua Palace?" The demon queen asked while adding wine to the demon emperor. His Majesty bestowed Chonghua Palace on her, but His Majesty did not agree to it. But now she is bestowed on a woman outside the palace, which shows that this young lady is deeply liked by His Majesty."

"Does the queen care?" Ji Nanfeng smiled, "I have never seen the queen care about it before when I was a concubine."

The face of the demon queen changed slightly, but she soon returned to her smile, "there have been many visitors from Fengzao Terrace in the past few days, all of whom are talking about the pink beauty of your Majesty. When Madam Qin Se went to visit, she was blocked by the guards. Do not care."

"They went to disturb you, this Qin Se is getting more and more ignorant, I have spoiled her." Although the Yaohuang's voice was reproachful, the expression on his face was extremely doting.

"It's okay, Mrs. Qin Se is also concerned about His Majesty." The demon queen smiled faintly, "I don't know when Your Majesty canonize the newcomer. Since you live in the palace, you must have a title."

"The empress has always been generous, I'm really pleased." The Demon Emperor sneered, "I have my own ideas about the canonization, and I will decide later."

"Yes, my concubine obeys the order." The demon queen bowed her head and said nothing, the emperor and queen sat side by side, respecting each other like guests, until the banquet was over, no more words were spoken.

Back at Lingyuan Terrace, Zhao Cheng waited on Ji Nanfeng to change his clothes. Seeing the displeasure on his master's face, he felt uneasy.

"Zhao Cheng, can you send someone to follow the son-in-law closely?"

"It has been arranged properly, Your Majesty can rest assured." Zhao Cheng brought tea for the Demon Emperor and stood by his side, "It's just that the servant doesn't understand. The Emperor has already found out that Mr. Xuan is a member of the Nanjiang Palace. Why don't you let him go? Did you arrange for him to meet the son-in-law today?"

"Zhao Cheng, you've been by my side for so many years, don't you know what I want?" Ji Nanfeng put down his teacup.

"Your Majesty suspects that Young Master Xuan has something to do with the son-in-law, so you deliberately probe?"

"That's exactly what I mean." Ji Nanfeng's mouth twitched, "If they are related, the son-in-law will definitely take action, and then both will be eliminated; if they are not, then they will be kept in the Chonghua Palace for later use!"

"What should the fox king do? It seems that he is still looking for it. The son-in-law has seen Mr. Xuan today, and the news is likely to spread."

"No, if the two of them have nothing to do with each other, An Yi will not talk too much about Xuan's affairs. He has a special status, so he naturally knows how to protect himself." Ji Nanfeng couldn't help but smile when he thought of the scene when the three of them were together in the morning. .

"Your Majesty, you are laughing, did you remember something funny?"

"Today, the Empress asked me to give the beauty of Chonghua Palace a title, how do you think I should respond?"

"In the past few days, many empresses have expressed great concern for the people living in the Chonghua Palace." Zhao Cheng heard the joke in Ji Nanfeng's tone, "Mrs. Qin Se even went to the slave to inquire."

"Oh? What did you say to her?"

"In the heart of the emperor, no one can replace Madam. There is only one Madam Qin Se."

"You are very good at talking." Ji Nanfeng stood up and walked to the window. The fantasy lotus in the ink pool outside the window was in full bloom, and the breeze slowly sent wisps of dark fragrance. "Today, I serve you in the Chonghua Palace."

"What!" came the sound of a teacup shattering on the ground behind him, "This slave deserves to die, the emperor forgives me."

"Are you so surprised?" Ji Nanfeng turned to look at Zhao Cheng who was kneeling on the ground, "This doesn't seem to be my first male favourite."

"But..." Zhao Cheng said hesitantly, "Your Majesty, he is a member of the Fox King, so he must be sent back."

"That was in the past. From tomorrow on, he will be my Mrs. Chonghua..."
