"What?" Xia Shiqian narrowed his eyes and said, "What does King Liang mean?"

"Don't panic, Your Majesty, it won't be too much trouble," Li Yan said with a smile back, "It's just that when the Emperor writes the letter of credence, he only needs to change the word "hundred years" to "eternal life."

Xia Shiqian rolled his eyes, and readily agreed. Now, if he hesitates a little, Feng Rongyue will change his mind immediately. What is the difference between a hundred years and eternity? It's just Feng Rongyue in disguise Just to test.

At this moment, Xia Shiqian was shocked again. He saw tender green shoots emerging from the water in the clay pot just now. What kind of seeds are these?How can it sprout so quickly?

He didn't even have time to ask questions, because the seed was still growing, slowly growing slender branches and curly green leaves, and the leaves slowly unfolded, it turned out to be a round and tender lotus leaf! "This is, this is the lotus leaf!"

Immediately afterwards, the remaining seeds sprouted out of the water one by one like mushrooms after rain, and soon there was a pot full of lotus leaves, and everyone was dumbfounded.

However, it's not over yet, I saw a twig slowly pulling out from the lotus leaves, and a pure white bud slowly emerged from the top!At this time, Xia Shiqian and the palace people of Beiyan were already stunned. For them, the lotus only existed in their memory or in the description of the old man. The desert lacked water, so where could they afford to grow a lotus?However, hundreds of years ago, the totem of their belief in Beiyan was the ninety-nine 81-petal lotus!

Since Li Yanhui fell into the mysterious underground passage last time, she became suspicious of the lotus flowers carved everywhere there, and later saw that there were still lotus flower patterns in various palaces.But in Nuo Da's Beiyan Palace, he just couldn't see a real lotus.

This lotus must have a very important meaning to Bei Yan!

I saw that Xia Shiqian was already obsessed with the little flower bud, his eyes were wide open, without blinking.

The white bud is like a graceful girl, slowly stretching its layers of petals shyly and timidly.Xia Shiqian couldn't help stretching out his hand, wanting to touch it, to see if it was real or just his hallucination.

However, before touching the hand, Li Yanhui protected the flower, and then said with a smile, "Your Majesty, I still want to ask the Emperor for one thing." Xia Shiqian still stared at the flower, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ?”

"I don't know if I can let the king meet the empress dowager of your country?"

As soon as these words came out, Xia Shiqian looked distressed, and said in his mouth, "Well, the queen mother is ill, I'm afraid it's not suitable to see guests..." Before he finished speaking, Xia Shiqian stopped, and saw Li Yan go back to the Shuangxiu The long hand was placed on the blooming lotus flower, as if strangling the neck of a beautiful woman, as if the flower would be cut off with a little force, Xia Shi hurriedly changed his words, "Fortunately, these days please Take the medicine, the queen mother has recovered a lot, and after I arrange it, the king of Liang can go to see her."

Li Yanhui's hand loosened slightly, and said with a smile, "Then the emperor must hurry up, otherwise it will be bad if you miss the flowering period."

"Yes, I'm going to make preparations now." Xia Shigan turned around to make arrangements, and before leaving, he still reluctantly looked at the white lotus, Li Yanhui, secretly amused, and said, "What's so special about this flower that you let him Will you compromise like this?"

Long Zhen stepped forward, carefully looked at this unusual lotus, and said, "It is said that thousands of years ago, the founding emperor of Beiyan fell in love with a beautiful girl and married her as his queen. There are countless battles and countless murders, so he has nightmares every night, cannot sleep for a long time, his body will soon be overwhelmed, and his body is getting weaker and weaker. His queen came up with a way to find this kind of lotus seed in the palace. Planted in every corner, the pure white nine-nine-nine 81-petal lotus is like a sacred object to suppress evil spirits. Since then, the founding emperor has never had a nightmare again. Later, Beiyan regarded this lotus as a national treasure There are lotus flowers carved in every corner of the palace, but something happened later, those lotus flowers all withered and withered overnight, and since then, lotus flowers have never grown in Beiyan again."

"So that's how it is." Li Yan smiled back, "When did you know so much?" And the picture of five bulls last time was also the same, he hadn't found that painting yet, Long Zhen already saw something wrong at a glance.

"Of course my uncle taught it." Long Zhen said confidently.

"Another day, this king will definitely meet you, Uncle Tang Wang." Li Yan replied pointedly.

Baozhu and Qinghe had been circling the magical lotus flower when another guest came to the yard.

"His Royal Highness, can I have a private talk with you?"

The person who came was the Second Highness Xia Shiwei.

Li Yan looked back at him, he seemed to have worn down a lot after not seeing him for a few days, his face was tired, his eyes were reddish, and he felt powerless even when he spoke.

"Second Highness, what's the matter?" Long Zhen had already led everyone out, Li Yanhui and Xia Shiwei were the only two in the room, Li Yanhui asked, "It's just you and me now, if you have anything to say, it's okay .”

Xia Shiwei sat on the stool, bowed his back slightly, and clenched his fists tightly, as if he had to use a lot of strength to open his mouth, "His Royal Highness, please save Jinse!"

"Jinse? Where is she?" Li Yan asked back.

Xia Shiwei said, "She is in the Queen's Lotus Palace."

"How did you know?" Li Yan asked back, he asked Zhao Feng to investigate countless times but failed to find it, how could Xia Shiwei find out?

Xia Shiwei was silent for a while, and said, "I installed someone in the queen's palace. Yesterday, the person sent a letter saying that Jinse is going to die. I really have no other choice. You are his elder brother. When you come to Beijing I heard her mention you many times on Yan's way, I think you will save her, right?"

From this passage, Li Yanhui heard a lot of information and asked, "Why are you so concerned about her affairs? Since you are so concerned, why didn't you help her when you saw her in distress? What is your purpose? "

Xia Shiwei opened his eyes wide, opened his mouth again and again, and said after a long time, "If you want to help, you can help, if you don't want to help, then just pretend that I believe in the wrong person. She is in the secret room of the queen's bedroom." After speaking, he left up.

Li Yan sat back in the house, pondering for a long time, he knew that Jinse was in Yuzhu's hands, but he couldn't find the exact location where he was being held. Can he believe Xia Shiwei's words?

Zhao Feng came out from the dark and said, "My lord, let the subordinates go down for a walk."

Li Yan pondered for a while, and said, "Let's go together tonight, but we have to find a way to lure that woman out."

In the evening, Li Yan asked Qinghe and Xia Shiqian to pass on a message, saying that in order to thank Beiyan for taking care of her during this time, Liang Wang specially presented some treasures to the queen and all the empresses tonight.

The concubines in Beiyan's harem had already heard about King Liang's name, but because Li Yanhui's noble status was different from that of men and women, these women did not dare to approach at will. All of them flocked to the emperor, hoping that they could see the baby's appearance, and the intention was to get a share of the pie.

During this time, everything went smoothly, Xia Shiqian was in a great mood, and with a wave of his hand, he ordered all the concubines and concubines in the palace to participate in tonight's treasure presentation.

Looking at the pile of exquisite gift boxes in front of her, Long Zhen asked, "What are these?"

Li Yanhui was thinking about what to do at night, when he heard his question, she answered casually, "It's just something that women like, it's not worth anything."

Seeing that he was absent-minded, Long Zhen knew that he had something to hide from her, so she walked over and asked, "You're not such a person looking for trouble for nothing, tell me quickly! What are you going to do tonight?"

Li Yan looked back at him, fell back on the chair, and smiled, "Guess!"

"I guess, you must be a thief!" Long Zhen approached him and said in a low voice with absolute certainty.

Li Yanhui's smile deepened, he took out a beautiful small bottle from his pocket, put it in front of Long Zhen, and said, "I'm giving you a small gift, can it be regarded as not knowing?"

Long Zhen took it, unscrewed the lid, and a faint fragrance wafted out. At first smell, it was a bit like the cold fragrance of peach blossoms, so she asked, "What is this?"

"Perfume." Li Yanhui took it from his hand, stood up and said with a smile, "Let me teach you how to use it?"

Li Yan lifted up the sleeve of one of his hands, sprayed it on the inside of his wrist, then quickly wiped the perfume on the inside of Long Zhen's other wrist, then he held up the stick The two wrists covered with perfume passed Long Zhen's pulse at the side of the neck behind the ears one by one.The two were very close, from a distance, it was as if Li Yan was holding Long Zhen's hands and pressing them against the wall.

The faint cold fragrance of peach blossoms lingers around the two of them, if there seems to be no connection, Li Yanhui picks up a strand of Long Zhen's hair and asks softly, "Do you like it?"

Long Zhen's hands were still being held by Li Yanhui, the distance between the two was too close, Li Yanhui's own grassy scent mixed with peach fragrance made Long Zhen a little dazzled, subconsciously said, "I like it."

Li Yanhui couldn't help pecking him lightly on the lips, and then asked, "What about this? Would you like it more?"

Although Long Zhen was distracted for a moment, she soon came to her senses, pulled away his hand, and patted Li Yanhui's cheek, "Don't use beauty tricks! I won't take this kind of thing, tell me quickly, you What exactly do you want to do?"

Seeing that she couldn't get past it, Li Yan could only sigh, and said with a smile, "I'm going to visit the Queen's Lotus Palace at night, so I want to ask for your help."

"Speak!" Long Zhen took the perfume bottle at the side, put it under the table and sniffed it lightly, then squinted at Li Yan back.

Seeing his unconsciously seductive, Li Yanhui's mouth was very parched. She turned around and picked up the cold tea kettle on the table, and drank three cups before feeling better, "Tonight's You can help me host the treasure offering meeting, it will take half an hour at most, and help me hold back the queen."

Long Zhen put the perfume into her purse, and after thinking about it, she understood, "You held this treasure offering under the guise of giving gifts to the women in the harem, but you really only want to hold the queen alone? Is it just you? Is it possible? dangerous?"
