Dragon Fate of Shan Hai Ji

So, half an hour later, the news that Le Yue and Du Shizi had evil things around them spread throughout the harem.

At the dawn of the month, Concubine Song Xian, Concubine Zhuang De, Concubine Zhou Shu, and Concubine Li Hui brought a group of female officials and concubines to visit the Queen's Huangyi Palace.

"Although the empress dowager told us not to worry about this matter anymore, rumors are spreading in the palace now. It is said that Le Yue and Du Shizi are indeed a bit evil. Sister queen, you are sitting in the palace, and the sisters are really panicked, so we have to go to the palace again." Come here and discuss with the queen sister, what should we do?"

The queen is not a person with her own opinions. Not long ago, Wanying secretly reported to her the news she heard from Bian Zhang Lianliu. She was actually very scared in her heart, but she could only force herself to comfort everyone: "The Queen Mother The empress has already ordered that this matter should not be mentioned indiscriminately, and the palaces have sent additional patrol personnel. This palace feels that since the emperor and the empress dowager are relieved to let them live in, nothing will happen."

Concubine Song Xian said in a low voice: "Sister Queen, do you think it is safe to arrange them to live in Leqing Palace?"

The queen had difficulty answering for a moment.

Concubine Li Hui said: "Today, I went to sit with the concubine, and I felt that the princess Chu Ling asked a very correct question. The prince is clearly both civil and military, with impeccable morals, and he was born by the eldest princess. With half of the blood of the royal family, why do the emperor and the queen mother still believe that the strange and unknown Le Yue is the blood of the royal family?"

Concubine Zhuang De whispered: "Huh? Haven't you guys heard the latest rumor? I heard that the crown prince was not born to the eldest princess at all, but the illegitimate son of King Anshun and a folk woman."

In the shadow of the lights, a three-colored phoenix spread its wings on the beam of the queen's house, flew out of Huangyi Palace, flew over the high walls of the imperial city, and flew into the courtyard of Wutong Lane.

It landed in the courtyard and turned into a girl in a brocade shirt. A girl in the corridor ran towards her lightly: "Sister Huangzhu, could it be that dragon and the unicorn tortoise are causing trouble in the palace?"

Huangzhu shook her head: "No, Huangling, is your lord here? I want to ask you what we should do. Now I am the only one in the palace. Brother Fengwu doesn't care about the emperor, and brother Fengtong doesn't care about the prince. The emperor If you want to confess blood to that Le Yue, don't you just give up the altar to the dragon?"

Huang Ling blinked: "Your Majesty has already rested, he said don't worry about this matter for now. There is an ancient god in the dragon, we can't beat it, we will wait for the reply from the heaven before we make a fuss. As for the emperor, Brother Feng Wu said, the emperor will not fight again. Nothing can go against the destiny."

Huang Zhu was helpless: "But what exactly is destiny?"

Huang Ling replied blankly: "I don't know about this, but I think everything is under the control of the king, so don't be impatient, sister."

Huangzhu looked at the sky speechlessly: "Okay, then I'll wait for your superior to dispatch." Transformed into a phoenix again, flapped its wings, and flew back to the imperial city.

In the middle of the night, Zhao Yuan gently crawled out of Le Yue's pillow, and it heard some unusual movements coming from the direction of the apse.

It passed through the wall and came outside the hall, and was lightly poked twice on the shoulder.Lin Jing flashed out from behind it, gestured softly, and pulled it towards the apse.

In the barren courtyard of the apse, Lian Liu, Bian Zhang, and a few people dressed in inner guards formed a circle and lit the fire. The strong scent of pine filled the air, and a fire was burning blazingly.

The flames rose for a long time, and the inner guards surrounded the fire with bronze mirrors half the size of a man. The fire light was refracted by the bronze mirrors and shot straight into the sky.

Zhao Yuan wondered: "What kind of ceremony is this?"

Could it be that these people are holding some secret ceremony for that fake well?Lin Jing didn't know either, so she simply took Zhao Yuan and sat on the roof to watch.The firelight refracted by the copper mirror turned yellow, illuminating half of the sky.

At this time, Bian Zhang, Lian Liu and several other inner guards lit some strange lanterns, and one, two, three strings of light balls dangled up into the sky one after another.

Lian Liu and Bian Zhang tucked the hem of their robes to the waist of their trousers, flashed out of the courtyard of the apse, walked out of Leqing Palace quickly, and then ran on the silent road. After running a long distance, the two suddenly started shouting.

"Apparition—!"

"A miracle!!"

"Emperor Taizu has appeared——!"

"Xiangguang! It's Xiangguang! The emperor Taizu has appeared——!"

Zhao Yuan was dumbfounded, Lin Jing hugged her belly and laughed on the roof.

She pulled up Zhaoyuan: "Ordinary people are so interesting, it seems that the emperor really wants to use Le Yue to deal with the prince." She raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Let's just help them and let these mortals see, what is apparition?" !"

The Queen slept very restlessly. She dreamed that there was a huge ghost floating above the Leqing Palace. King Anshun and the Crown Prince were cut by the ghost in mid-air. When she was about to breathe out, the Prince held a sword, He slashed towards He Shao who was sitting on the throne.

The queen screamed and sat up suddenly, and the little maid hurriedly ran to her bed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty! The Emperor Taizu appeared in Leqing Palace!!"

The queen put on her outer robe and ran down the corridor holding the hand of the little palace maid. Sure enough, she saw the direction of the Leqing Palace, and the sphere of light was circling in the middle of the day.

The queen involuntarily supported the pillar beside her, and the little palace maids and eunuchs knelt down and kowtowed to the ground. Those light spheres seemed to be manipulated by an invisible hand, and connected into a figure in the middle of the sky, a flow of gold. A ray of light surrounds it, outlining the horns and claws.

The queen covered her mouth, desperately suppressing her exclamation.

That graphic is clearly, clearly a dragon!

Lin Jing stood on the roof clapping her hands and laughing: "Zhao Yuan, you draw a dragon really well, it looks a bit like yourself."

Zhao Yuan smiled embarrassedly in the middle of the sky and said, "It's okay."

Lin Jing flicked her fingers, and the dragon shadow was winding in the air. She giggled and said, "Shall I draw a unicorn for fun?"

The string of Kongming lanterns moved in response to the sound, and Zhao Yuan said, "I'll help you draw."

They were having a good time, when a voice shouted from far away: "Don't go too far!"

A flame rushed towards the Kongming lanterns, Lin Jing drew a strip of light and flicked out the phoenix fire: "Ah, finally a little phoenix showed its head."

A three-color phoenix spread its wings and flew over, transformed into a girl in colorful clothes, standing in mid-air, with an angry face: "Our lord knows that you are not good enough, so we don't bother to pay attention to you, so don't be too ignorant."

Lin Jing smiled and said: "We have all entered the palace, and Lord Feng asked you to be phoenixes. Is he too lazy to care about it, or is he afraid?"

Huang Nu's face turned green, and she threw a ribbon fiercely. Lin Jing threw a long whip, wrapped it around the ribbon, and said with a smile, "Look carefully, this time the emperor ordered someone to deliberately create a false appearance to help Le Yue. It’s just icing on the cake by the way. It seems that the current emperor doesn’t like Phoenix anymore. You want to beat me to accompany you, but the scene of our fight will probably be regarded as a miracle of Taizu’s apparition to cheer for Le Yue. Don’t blame me for not reminding you. ~~"

Huangnu was so angry that she almost vomited blood.

A distant voice said slowly: "Princess Lin, why should there be trouble at this time?"

The ribbon in Huang Nu's hand was infused with a burst of mana, and with a light twitch, it returned to Huang Nu's hand.A crimson figure stood behind Huang Nu, Huang Nu looked back and saw him, and immediately called out: "Brother Tong." She hid behind him.

Lin Jing and Zhao Yuan stood side by side, and greeted Feng Tong with a smile: "Long time no see."

Feng Tong smiled and said: "Long time no see, Princess Lin is still beautiful, oh, Brother Zhaoxian seems to have grown up a bit." With a wave of the wide robe sleeve, the Kongming lantern went out and fell, and the fire on the ground also gradually weakened and extinguished.

Lin Jing clapped her hands: "Forget it, Le Yue's miracle is enough tonight anyway."

Feng Tong smiled: "About tomorrow morning, the emperor will issue a decree. The day after tomorrow will be an auspicious day, and it should be the day to recognize relatives by dripping blood."

Lin Jing stared at him keenly: "What are you planning?"

Fengtong spread her hands innocently: "Nothing, just like what Huangzhu said just now, Lord Feng ordered us not to conflict with you for the time being. Brother Zhaoxian and Princess Lin can rest assured, Le Yue should be able to recognize the marriage ceremony by dripping blood. successfully passed."

Lin Jing clasped her arms around her chest, raised her eyebrows, "Then your crown prince will be in danger."

"Oh? Princess Lin thinks so?" Feng Tong smiled faintly again, "It's too early to tell the outcome. Or, God's will has long been doomed."

He turned around and walked away slowly on the clouds.

After floating a little, he turned sideways again, "Also, brother Zhaoxian, it's already at this time, why do you still have to let others do everything for you?"

Zhao Yuan's heart was stabbed.

Lin Jing curled her lips: "Didn't Mr. Feng leave everything to you little phoenixes?"

Feng Tong let out a long laugh: "Princess Lin is right." She left with Huang Zhu on the cloud.

In the early morning of the next day, Eunuch Bai, the head of the inner court, held the imperial decree in his hand and went to Leqing Palace to read it out in person.

The imperial decree said that at midnight last night, the emperor Taizu's miraculous miracle appeared, and the emperor felt that the emperor Taizu's decree was an authentic temple, and a blood-drop blood recognition ceremony will be held in the temple tomorrow at Fengshi, and all officials in the court will witness it.If it is found that Le Yue is fraudulently impersonating the royal blood, he will be immediately pushed out of the Meridian Gate, punished by Ling Chi, and the remaining bones will be hung on the city gate for a month, as a warning to everyone else.

Le Yue kowtowed and accepted the imperial decree.

Lin Jing muttered: "What does the emperor mean? He secretly created false miracles, and the imperial decree viciously said that Le Yue would be hacked into pieces. It's too hypocritical."

Ying Ze said disdainfully: "A mortal. This is a mortal."

The queen lingered at the fork in the road for a long time, and finally walked in the direction of Fengqian Palace.

The smell of medicine that lingers all year round is still permeating in Fenggan Palace, no matter how much incense is burned, it can't cover the smell.

In the outer hall, he could hear the familiar cough, which seemed to be even more severe.The empress felt sore, and without waiting for an announcement, she rushed to the inner hall and opened the crystal curtain.

Seeing her, He Shao, who was leaning on the imperial couch, froze for a moment, stood up and said weakly: "Queen, the sun is so strong today, why are you here? Sit down and cool off."

The queen threw herself to the side of the imperial couch, tears streaming from her eyes: "Your Majesty, what should you do with your concubines?"

He Shao was a little puzzled, and asked in a harmonious voice: "Queen, what did I do to make you so flustered?"

The queen covered her mouth with tears rolling down her cheeks: "Your Majesty, why can't you take good care of your body? What prince, what Heshi's bloodlines, I don't want to see them, I just want to stay with the emperor until I grow old... ..."

He Shao couldn't help laughing: "Queen, these words shouldn't have come out of your mouth. If there is no prince, what should you do if there is no prince?"

The queen buried her head in his arms, weeping uncontrollably: "Your Majesty, don't say unlucky things... Without the Emperor, there would be no concubines. Where the Emperor is, so will the concubines."

He Shao sighed lightly: "You are a queen, you can't be so childish."

The queen raised her tear-stained face and looked at him closely: "The emperor is the concubine's husband, why can't the concubine say that?" She leaned into He Shao's arms again, weeping.

He Shao raised his hand to stroke her temples, recalling that when the queen first married him, she was only 13 years old.

She is the grand master's daughter, spoiled since she was a child, wearing a heavy wedding dress, pretending to be sitting in a well-behaved manner, but her eyes are secretly looking around curiously.

He Shao still remembered that she grabbed his clothes and asked, "Are you the emperor? You don't look much older than me, two years old, or three years old?"

"From now on, I'm the queen? Then when I talk to you, do I have to call myself a concubine, or can I say 'I'?"

"Is it true that I can't eat anything on the plate? I'm so hungry, my mother said, I'll be hungry for three days, but I can't help it now."

"Your Majesty, you should eat a little too. Well, people outside will listen to you and guard the door. If you are caught stealing food, my mother said, I will be crippled."

When Concubine Xian Defei entered the palace, she cried and made a fuss, and was punished by the Queen Mother to copy scriptures in the Buddhist hall.He Shao still remembered her red and swollen eyes when she broke into Fengqian Palace to drive out his virtuous concubine Defei, with resentment and grievance in her eyes.

After copying scriptures in the Buddhist hall, she stopped crying and making trouble. The undisguised resentment in her eyes had turned into grievance and despair. She just asked with that look: "The concubine doesn't want to share the emperor with others, but the emperor It is the emperor, and the concubines can only be divided with others. I am the queen, in the emperor's heart, I am different from them, right?"

How old was she then?fourteen?fifteen?It's been almost ten years now.

These years, he was weak and did not pay much attention to the concubines in the harem, including the queen.

Many years have passed, the queen is no longer the innocent and arrogant girl she was back then, but in her heart, perhaps like thousands of ordinary women, she has always loved her husband sincerely.

But as the emperor, when his life was about to come to an end, he didn't know whether he could keep the queen happy for the rest of her life.

If they are destined to be husband and wife again in the afterlife, they would rather just be ordinary people, ordinary people, and stay together until they grow old.

The queen left Fengqian Palace, she was depressed and depressed, so she abandoned the imperial chariot and walked slowly back to Huangyi Palace. The weather was hot, so she took a detour near the imperial garden, and saw a group of people hurriedly walking towards the other side. , the person surrounded by the crowd seems to be the prince.

The queen asked, "Is the prince the one who passed by?"

The little eunuch replied: "Reporting to your mother, it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The queen was puzzled: "Look at the direction he is going, it is neither Fengqian Palace nor Huangci Palace, where is he going?"

Wanying said in a low voice: "Empress, servant girl, boldly say that the prince may be going to the Sirong Palace of Concubine Chen."

The queen has also heard a little about the rumors about Princess Chu Ling and the crown prince, so it seems that the rumors are true.She thought to herself, that princess Chu Ling really had some tricks, and she just hoped that nothing scandalous would happen.

The empress has a lot of things to worry about recently, and she forgot about the matter of seeing the prince going to Sirong Palace not long after.In the evening, the Empress Dowager ordered Zhuying to come and spread the word, telling her to go to Huangci Palace and not to bring so many people with her.

So the empress only took Wan Ying with her, and when they arrived at Huangci Palace, the empress dowager chatted with her a few words, and said with a smile: "By the way, empress, today Ai's family ordered someone to take care of the old things. The jewelry given to me is no longer suitable for my age, why don't you take a look and see if you like it, and wear it."

The queen quickly said: "Since it was given to the empress dowager by the first emperor, how dare the concubines wear it."

The queen mother said: "It's just a few hairpins." She took the queen's hand and said, "You can choose one with me."

Entering the quiet room, the Empress Dowager suddenly ordered her left and right to retreat, close the door, and no one was allowed to enter without a summons.

When there was no one around, the Empress Dowager signaled the Empress to follow her behind the curtain of the quiet room, and said solemnly: "Empress, the Ai family asked you to come here under the guise of choosing jewelry, because they think that since you are an Empress, there are certain things that you should let I know. Now King Anshun is in control of the government and has a large army in his hands. The emperor is weak and unable to rule. Fake is not important, but he has King Dingnan behind him. Du Xian is not as arrogant as Mu Yan. He hides his strengths and bides his time in Nanjun, and his strength is not necessarily weaker than King Anshun. Le Yue's competition with the prince is actually King Dingnan and Anshun Wang Zhizheng. What Aijia said is clear enough, you should understand."

The queen's heart was beating wildly, no matter how stupid she was, she fully understood the intentions of the queen mother and He Shao at this moment.

"It's just that the queen mother used a tiger to deal with a jackal. After the wolf is dead, will the tiger turn back and devour the Lord?"

The queen mother was very satisfied with the queen's question, she sighed and said, "I don't need to think about it for now, do you think the emperor still has a choice?"
