Fortunately for Feng Yanghou

Bitan Hanou, the purpose of entering is a piece of green and fluffy lotus leaves.

By the secluded pool, someone stood alone, looking at the distant mountains, like a withered lotus.

Chu Ai did not come from a respectable family, and being promoted to be a servant in the palace is the ultimate. He thought that he would be able to keep his holy favor forever, but he didn't want a Feng Yanghou to appear out of thin air and take away his way of wealth and honor, so that he would never be able to again. promotion.

But now, Queen Su is pregnant, and she never waits to see herself... Chu Ai never thought that one day she would repeat the same mistakes and struggle in Zhou Rao's palace.

"Chu Ai serves the king, the king summons you." The palace servants who were saluting walked behind Chu Ai.

Chu Ai looked up in confusion, surprised and unbelievable.

What Chu Ai should have thought of was that King Zhou Hui still had a relationship with him.As long as King Zhou Hui hasn't despised him, he still has the strength to stand up.

Even though, in his own eyes, King Zhou Hui, who was always far and sometimes near, was erratic and elusive.

Chu Ai took a step forward to follow the palace people, and when he passed through the arch, he happened to miss Feng Yanghou, who came with the internal guard, so it was a different route and different destination.

At the end of July, when the scorching sun was in the sky and the vegetation was scorching, King Hui of Zhou suffered from a cold because he was sitting alone in a secluded place.

Inside the Mingguang Hall, there was no one around.

Qi Xin took the decoction he handed over, the concoction was rich and bitter, "Aiqing, isn't there any decoction that smells better?"

He saw that Qi Xin's face was stiff and full of complaints, obviously he was afraid of taking bitter medicine.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head and jokingly, "I didn't expect that King Zhou Hui, who is so powerful in the court and made the world's faces change, would be as afraid of taking medicine like a three-year-old child."

After saying that, he went to the Tan case, found the candied fruit in the blue and white porcelain jar, and when he handed it to the person in front of him, seeing Qi Xin hesitated a little, he smiled and said: "Don't worry, the guilty minister promises to keep this matter secret."

He promised solemnly, Qi Xin stared into his dark eyes, seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, then took the candied fruit from his hand, closed his eyes and drank the bitter medicine in the bowl.

It's really bitter - Qi Xin hurriedly threw the candied fruit into his mouth, but the bitterness entered his throat for a long time, making him frown.

Looking back on the past, how long has it been since I tasted this unpalatable taste?

From the day when I ascended the throne when I was young, and my sick father poured bitter juice on my head and face, I knew that if I wanted to stay away from this disgusting feeling, I had to be so strong that I was the only one. , No one can do anything to get himself.

Qi Xin turned his eyes, staring at the pensive looking man opposite, and groaned in his heart: Now Qi Xin can actually affect other people's emotions, revealing another side buried deep in the haze...

Before I knew it, I was about to get lost in the man's eyes, which were as clear as the bright moon, and my feet were sunken, unable to extricate myself.

Qi Xin looked at him for a moment, and he lowered his eyes for a moment, feeling confused inside.

The seemingly non-existent gaze always moved to the top of his head inadvertently, and then turned to his eyebrows and eyes.

He took the empty jade bowl from Qi Xin's hand, and before he had time to ask if there was anything inappropriate about him today, a maid in the palace came to Qi Xin's ear and said a few words.

"Heavenly Dao Pagoda..." Qi Xin raised his eyebrows, changed his face completely, and glanced fiercely at the maidservant.

He heard the word Tiandao Pagoda, and the hand that put the jade bowl froze in place for an instant.

The maid bit her lips tightly, her slightly round body tremblingly rolled on the ground, her eyes were full of nervousness and fear.

"Return...report to the king, the blood-refining viper that was in charge of suppressing the demon way...is missing!"

"Waste——" Qi Xin heard the words, the anger in his heart suddenly ignited, he slapped the chair hard, and the teacup that was warming was swept to the ground, with a bang, the hot water and porcelain scattered splash.

The maid's cheek was scratched by the flying porcelain, and she crawled over tremblingly, crying uncontrollably: "Return, I hope the king will forgive me! Slave, I will definitely find the blood viper, and I will never disappoint the king!"

"Find it?! Everyone has escaped, what's the use of that viper? What's the use of you trash!"

Qi Xin frowned, the murderous intent in his eyes startled thousands of waves.

Blood-refining viper, Yaodao... He squinted his eyes.

"My lord, please spare me, I don't want to die yet!" The palace maid was begging for mercy desperately.

He kept silent, trying to hear the reason clearly, but found that Qi Xin had gotten up angrily, and wanted to kill the maid in front of him with his sword.

"Wait a minute." He stretched out his hand to stop it, and bowed his hand, "Your Majesty has just taken the decoction, so don't get angry and affect the curative effect."

Qi Xin turned his eyes when he heard the words, and after a long time, the grip on the sword hilt was finally loosened.

Qi Xin glanced over him, swept over the maid's head, and then landed on Eunuch Zhang standing outside the hall, and said in a gloomy voice: "If you don't want to die, you can go down and get a hundred punishments with the stick."

Sticks full of barbs, a staff of one hundred is the tragedy of being beaten to death with random sticks.

He pursed his lips. In the end, he watched the maid get up and walk out slowly, trembling all over.

In front of the furious monarch, no matter who it is, it is not allowed to intervene in the life and death of others at will, otherwise, it will only be self-defeating.

When the maid stepped out of the palace gate, Eunuch Zhang raised his hand, and soon, two guards carried the maid to the corridor.

Before it was dragged to the execution place, the palace maid fainted.

He looked at the figure of Qi Xin walking forward, the temperature of his fingertips dissipated, and his heart felt cold.

This kind of chill is the exaggeration of the king and kingship.

"Ah..." The shrill screams echoed outside the Ming Guang Hall.

In front of Majesty Dan, there were constant palace servants covering their pale lips, bursting into cold sweat.

There was a meaningful look in Qi Xin's eyes, he stepped out of the palace gate with his legs, and the palace people who bowed their heads joined hands, their trembling shoulders couldn't hide their terrified mind.

"Look for Gu, digging three feet into the ground will also find that monster way for Gu!" Qi Xin glanced lightly at Eunuch Zhang who was crawling underneath.

At this moment, the man in the black hood who was hiding in the corner turned around, with an extremely cold and charming smile on his face.

"Master Hou, please stay safe."

A light greeting, lightly, made the outline of the visitor clearly visible.

The light in front of his eyes dimmed, and the voice in his ears seemed to come from an extremely distant place, and the people and scenery in his sight shuttled and changed inexplicably, as if being dazzled by a glass lamp.

At this time, he stopped, stood under the corner of the eaves, and suddenly turned to the man in the black tent who was approaching him.

"Taoist Yuan Yin." He still smiled like a spring breeze blowing willows, calmly.

The woman stood half a foot away from him, her face was hidden in the shadow of the backlight, and she couldn't see clearly, but her figure and temperament became tit for tat.

She walked out of the haze with sarcasm in her eyes, "Master Hou just watched that maidservant die tragically in front of the palace gate, and he didn't move at all?"

He couldn't help frowning.

"From Ji Kingdom to Zhou Rao King's Court, I thought that Lord Hou would be able to make every step of the way to help Ji Kingdom prosper and restore righteousness. Who knew, Lord Hou would live a good life while guarding King Hui of Zhou."

"If you are in a high position, you will seek political affairs. If you are not in a high position, you will not seek political affairs." The woman folded her arms and smiled lightly.

He didn't know what the purpose of this woman standing in front of him was.

After the woman finished speaking, her gaze came leisurely.

"How did Taoist Yuan Yin escape from the Tiandao Pagoda?" He was curious.

"It seems that Lord Hou is very interested in me." The woman walked to his side and grabbed the flowers and leaves on the branches.

He also looked at her with a smile, "Your majesty has been using that blood-refining viper to suppress the girl, but the girl frequently appears in the palace... Come to think of it, the viper can't suppress the girl."

"Since the girl can escape, why do you still stay here?" It was this matter that he was puzzled from the bottom of his heart.

He looked up at the woman straight up.

"I like the beauty of Zhourao's palace. There are too many interesting things hidden in the dark abyss in Zhourao's palace. It has been decades, and I am tired of Sanmiao's commandments and shackles."

The woman spread her arms, and the elegant black belt was woven with silk ribbons, and when blown by the wind, it spun like a black feather.

Hearing this, his eyes froze.

"Don't worry, I won't cause any big storms in Zhou Rao's palace for the time being."

"Thinking about it carefully, I have saved quite a few people." The woman whispered, "Your Majesty, do you know that the Blood Viper requires five virgins every month?"

"worship……"

Worship is to satisfy one's hunger.

"Actually, King Zhou Hui next to you is much crueler than me." The woman gently put her hand on his shoulder, "Don't worry, I will help those souls who died in vain punish him."

When the woman said this, the smile on her face became even more terrifying.

"Master Hou, I advise you to stay away from King Zhou Hui."

"After all, you are not Chu Ai's stupid servant."

……

In the early morning of the next day, he opened the door and went out, and the shadow of a woman in a black cloak appeared in front of him from time to time.

The daylight was not very bright, so he entered the palace, found a secluded path, and walked all the way to the king's bedroom.

He didn't know the nature of the woman who claimed to be "Yuan Yin Daoist".

If she wanted to kill the king, why did she tell him in advance?If she wanted to take this opportunity to help Chu Ai get rid of him, why did she tell him to beware of King Zhou Hui and be careful in everything?He couldn't figure it out.

Logically speaking, his existence should be obliterated, not sheltered.

More and more, he wanted to uncover her true heart hidden in the illusion.

Therefore, the choice he made at the moment was to explore Ming Guangdian.
