The Four Concubines

Daqin Tianwen five years in July

There is only one month left before the grand meeting of all nations, and envoys from various countries have arrived in the capital one after another. There are two things that the people of the capital must do every day. The other thing is to wait for a book called "Mythology" to be published and serialized.

The author of "Mythology" is unknown, but with its unconstrained imagination and eclectic narrative style, it has been strongly sought after by the people in the capital, and it once became the top topic in the capital.

"Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!" Yun Xiao lay on the side hall of Weiyang Palace with her face covered in pain.

"Hold on, great writer." Xiao Chuo lowered his head to blow tea and said without looking at Yun Xiao.

"Wugou! It hurts!" Yun Xiao looked at her eldest grandson Wugou tearfully.

Changsun Wugou turned a page of the book in his hand with a chuckle, gathered his collar and ignored Gu Yunxiao.

Seeing the movements of the eldest grandson Wugou, Yun Xiao immediately fell silent.

Cough... She was a little too much last night.

"Okay." Zhou Si withdrew the needle and said without emotion.

In the first few days, Yun Xiao just hummed a few words, but from a certain day onwards, her reaction was very exaggerated. Zhou Si thought it was because she didn't know how to measure it properly. It was found that Yun Xiao went to Changsun Wugou's side to dispel the gu and maliciously act cute.

Ha ha... This emperor really knows how to play.

"Report!" The voice of No. [-] sounded outside the house.

"En?" Yun Xiao pressed the needle with one hand, raised her eyebrows, "Go in."

"Another mission has arrived today?" Yun Xiao picked up the teacup.

No. [-] knelt down and cupped his fists, "Yes."

"Where did it come from?" Xiao Chuo asked.

"It's two countries in the East China Sea." No. [-] answered truthfully.

"Oh?" The corner of Yun Xiao's mouth curled slightly, "Gao Li and Yamato?"

"Yes." Number One replied.

Yun Xiao smiled and took a sip of tea.

"Your Majesty." No. [-] said, "The envoy of Yamato... said he wanted to see you."

Xiao Chuo glanced at No. [-]. This time, he remembered that No. [-] still paused when he spoke for the first time.

Yun Xiao sighed softly, "I'm afraid it's not 'want'."

No. [-] looked up at Yun Xiao, then lowered his head, changed his words and said again, "The Yamato envoy asked to see the emperor at the post station, and even beat Li Shilang."

"Crack." Yun Xiao put down the teacup.

"It's not like the usual you. You usually say something, why did you start to use vague words today, and the specific situation should be more than that." Yun Xiao frowned dissatisfied.

Number one's anomaly today is too obvious. When he explained the matter, he even explained the result. This is not his usual style.

"Oh, it's pretty neat." Luo Shui's voice came from outside.

After entering the house, Luo Shui looked around, walked to Xiao Chuo's side, took Xiao Chuo's teacup without avoiding danger, and drank it down in one gulp.

Xiao Chuo glared at Luo Shui.

Luo Shui smiled and said to Yun Xiao, "Someone is looking for you outside."

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows.

Qiu Shi's voice just came in, "Your Majesty, there are two female officials asking to see you outside."

female officer?The Li family sisters?

Yun Xiao was puzzled, former officials were not allowed to enter the harem, but Xiao Chuo gave his token to the Li family sisters to allow them to come in, this was the first time they used it, what's the big deal?

"Let them in." Yun Xiao said.

Zhou Si nodded to the others in the room, wanting to leave first.

"Ah, don't be shy." Yun Xiao looked at Zhou Si and said, "Don't be so extravagant, my life is in your hands, and these things are nothing more."

Zhou Si and Yun Xiao looked at each other for a moment, then turned and sat aside.

"My lord, Li Ran begs to see the emperor." Li Ran's voice came from outside the door.

"Come in." Yun Xiao responded.

"Yes."

Li Ran pushed the door open and was taken aback when he saw so many people in the room, he immediately knelt down to salute.

"Get up, you don't need to be so polite." Changsun Wugou said first.

Yun Xiao looked at Li Ran who was alone, and looked out, "Where is your sister?" The two sisters are usually like conjoined twins, and Qiu Shi also said just now that they are two female officials, so it was Li Ran who came in.

Li Ran's eyes darkened when he heard Yun Xiao's words, and his breathing became a little heavy.

Yun Xiao wondered, today one or two are so abnormal?

"Call Li Su to come in." Yun Xiao shouted directly to the outside.

"See the emperor, ladies and gentlemen." Li Su was still as usual, with a faint smile on his face.

"Get up and tell me what's going on." Yun Xiao looked at the two of them.

"Going back to the emperor is just a small matter..."

"Yamato's envoys are too deceitful!"

Two voices, two very different contents.

Yun Xiao looked at the two sisters, then turned her attention to No. [-], "It seems that you are talking about the same thing..."

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Yun Xiao frowned, "Say it! Are you all dumb?"

"Let me tell the story." No. [-] lowered his head and told the ins and outs of the matter.

Yun Xiao raised her eyebrows, and scanned the three of them again, "Is that all?"

Number one looked up at Yun Xiao, then lowered his head again, "Yes."

"Just such a matter, what can't you tell me?" Yun Xiao looked at the three of them puzzled, "Or do you think I will not give you an explanation because the other party is an envoy of a country?"

The three of them stopped talking again.

A similar incident happened once when the first emperor was in power. A minister accidentally bumped into a foreign envoy, but was dragged out and beheaded by the first emperor involuntarily.

Yun Xiao's face was a bit ugly, "We have been doing business for a few years anyway, and I am so unreliable in your hearts?"

"Your Majesty's forgiveness!"

The three hurriedly said.

The eldest grandson Wugou got up, walked to Yun Xiao's side and sat down, raised his hand and patted Yun Xiao's hand lightly, Yunxiao glanced at the eldest grandson Wugou, and his face softened.

"The grand meeting of all nations is coming soon, I know what you are worried about." Changsun Wugou looked at the three of them and said softly.

"I also know what happened in the previous dynasty, but this time they were the first to make mistakes. Yun Xiao is not the former emperor. You all know how protective she is."

Li Su hurriedly said, "What the Empress said is that we are wrong."

"Hmph." Yun Xiao snorted heavily, and looked at the Li family sisters coldly.

Li Ran frowned, stood up and looked at Yun Xiao like pouring beans and said, "Your Majesty, don't blame my elder sister for being perfunctory, she doesn't want to cause you trouble, this matter is still my fault, I can't swallow that breath..."

"When did I let you swallow your anger?" Yun Xiao said lightly.

"Eh?" Before Li Ran finished speaking, Yun Xiao suddenly interrupted her.

Yun Xiao turned his gaze from the three of them one by one, sighed and said, "Okay, let's all get up first."

Li Suhe got up on the [-]st.

Yun Xiao looked at No. [-], "You knew that the two of them came to look for me, so you told me that."

Number one bowed his head and remained silent.

Yun Xiao looked at Li Su again and raised her eyebrows, "What about you, you are afraid that I, like the late emperor, will kill your elder brother and this younger sister for the sake of Daqin's face." Yun Xiao was just wondering which servant Li is. , It happened that the sisters of the Li family came, come on, don't think about it.

Li Su bowed his head slightly.

Yun Xiao finally looked at Li Ran, "And you, after knowing what happened, you came to the palace to seek an explanation."

Li Ran's face was full of displeasure, but he still bowed his head obediently, "It's my minister who is being reckless."

"What's so reckless?" Yun Xiao said calmly, "I think what you did was quite right."

"Huh?" Li Ran was stunned.

Yun Xiao looked at Li Su again, "I don't care how the first emperor handled this kind of thing, but now that I am the emperor, these things have to be handled in my own way. Daqin's face was never given by anyone, but by ourselves fight!"

"In an island country, the combined population of the whole country is not as large as that of the state of Daqin. You can do whatever you want just because you are an envoy? How dare you openly molest the daughter of the prime minister's family and beat up court officials? Such an envoy, I have to be fine." Eat and drink for him?"

Yun Xiao sneered, "What are you dreaming of? I, Da Qin, treat people with courtesy, but not just to be bullied casually. He dares to beat you at your house, so you still treat him with a smile?"

Yun Xiao looked at the Li family sisters with a serious face and said, "You are officials of Daqin internally, but you are the face of Daqin externally. If they dare to hit you, they are hitting me in the face of Daqin. It is useless for scoundrels to calm down. Sharing worries for you is not the same."

"You can do whatever you want. Whether it's an envoy or a prince or something, if you dare to act wildly in my Great Qin, I will break his legs. I will bear the consequences!"

Li Ran and Li Su bowed their heads, "Your ministers are to be taught."

"Number one." Yun Xiao said again.

"The subordinate is here." No. [-] responded.

"Leave a message to Changsun Wuchen to ask him to send people to surround the station of Yamato's envoys, and if anyone inside dares to come out, they will be tied up and thrown back." Yun Xiao said.

"Yes." Number One took the order.

Yun Xiao saw what the Li family sisters were going to say, but her heart twitched violently.

Yun Xiao pinched the position of her left chest and heart, her back was numb as if there were countless bugs crawling, Yun Xiao's face turned pale instantly.

"Yun Xiao?" Changsun Wugou immediately noticed Yun Xiao's abnormality.

Zhou Si got up and walked quickly to Yun Xiao's side. As soon as she grasped Yun Xiao's wrist, her face became serious instantly.

Seeing this, Xiao Chuo got up and walked towards Yun Xiao.

"Here we come." Zhou Si said suddenly.

coming?

Xiao Chuo's face darkened, he turned his head to look at the sisters of the Li family who hadn't left yet, and said, "You guys go back first... Before you go back to the mansion, go see Changsun Wuji first."

The sisters of the Li family bowed and resigned. They knew that this was not the place for them to stay, but...to find Changsun Wuji, Li Ran deeply felt that he would not be able to leave the Changsun's mansion properly today.

"How is Yun Xiao?" After the two left, the eldest grandson Wugou asked hastily.

Zhou Si shook her head, "It's nothing, it's just the resonance of the Gu insect."

"Wu Feng is here?" Xiao Chuo said the name.

Zhou Si nodded, "En!"

"How long will it take for the Gu in Yunxiao's body to be completely discharged." Changsun Wugou suddenly panicked.

"At least half a year." Zhou Si gave a conservative time.

"Too long..." Changsun Wugou murmured.

"Ugh! Ugh!" Yun Xiao groaned, clutching her clothes with one hand, and tightly clutching the teacup on the table with the other, her vigorous fingers turned white.

When Changsun Wugou heard Yun Xiao's voice, his heart tightened even more, it was different from the exaggeration when he was expelling Gu, those two voices just now were suppressed!

"Yun Xiao, how are you?" Changsun Wugou asked anxiously.

Yun Xiao looked up at her eldest grandson Wugou, with a grin on the corner of her mouth, before she could open her mouth for the word "it's okay", her heart throbbed again, Yun Xiao stared, and she fainted.

The author has something to say:

I already reminded "Qin", but you didn't expect it to be "Mythology"!
