Fortunately for Feng Yanghou

Chu Rui in the past, now King Ji Yue.

The warm breath permeating the room, the chirping of insects in summer nights, and the floating dryness are subtle and hard to find.

The night is as cool as water, and even the few shadows turning under the oil lamp are warm.

He immediately concentrated, and couldn't help but think of Ji Guo's past.

At that time, Chao Gui hadn't married, her tutor hadn't died, and Chu Rui hadn't left the country to study...

Obviously everything is like a dream, but he didn't realize the joys and sorrows caused by his fate, and it was so embarrassing in the end.

No one wants to be controlled by someone for the rest of their lives, let alone that person is a royal family member of Ji Kingdom.

He hopes that one day those who are shackled by obsessions can escape from the sea of ​​suffering. Even if they fence their yards, it is better than drifting away and burying their conscience.

"Chu Rui, don't do stupid things anymore. Zhou Rao is strong, this is an indisputable fact... If you insist on going your own way, you will only end up costing the lives of the subjects of Ji Kingdom. The scene of mourning - I don't want to experience that kind of scene anymore gone."

He didn't know how to dissuade the stubborn King Jiyue in front of him, saying "Chu Rui", in the eyes of those around him, he was using the name of senior brother to teach him to rein in the precipice.

It was too late for everything.

Chu Rui heard the words, smiled and did not speak.

After a while, Chu Rui stood up and walked around behind him, and even put his arms around his waist, causing the person in his arms to tremble in a daze.

"Brother, don't move. Let me hold you for a while. These days, I really miss you."

He was surrounded by Chu Rui's arms, and his back was pressed against the broad chest of the person behind him.Chu Rui's heartbeat was trembling, as if he was afraid of being ruthlessly rejected.

He could not respond to Chu Rui's affection for him.

However, he couldn't bear to push away a scarred and decadent prodigal son, Chu Rui's fate should not be like this.

He stiffened.

Chu Rui's hands circled tighter and tighter, "Senior brother, I can't go back. Do you know that the reason I live is your safety and the desire to restore Jiguo. I specialize in power and rely on the kingship. However, I always put Ji Guo as the most important thing. Zhou Rao wants to attack Ji Guo, so do you want to abandon Ji Guo?"

Yes, he should have known earlier that among the nations there is only political scheming, which ones are allied, and which ones become the target of public criticism... All of this has never been relied on benevolence and indecision.

He is indeed too stupid.

Conspiracy and paradox that was about to come out—he suddenly woke up from his worries.

Chu Rui, who was closest, stared at his trembling eyelashes, "Brother, let's restore Ji Guo together. Ji Guo, only you can save it."

Chu Rui lazily pressed against his shoulder, raised his head slightly, and said quietly.

He frowned upon hearing this, as if he was struggling in a dark abyss.

Ji Guo... As Ji Ren, how could he completely abandon it?

He raised his head from the swaying lights, sighed secretly, "I, what should I do."

His answer brought an intriguing smile to Chu Rui's lips, "Brother, you don't need to do anything. Let me bear those bloody and cruel infamy. You just need to be your servant." That's right."

Chu Rui still maintained the posture just now, and his gaze was as doting as before.

The lights are luxuriant, and the shadows reflected on the door lean on each other, which is very enviable.

With his hands behind his back, Ji stood in the courtyard, his dark eyes locked like an ancient well without waves, facing the cloud and mist, he was very indifferent.

"General, it's getting deeper and deeper, Master Hou has already fallen asleep." Seeing this, Lu Yi who was beside him immediately stepped forward to block the shadow on the door.

It's coming, it's coming.

He didn't know Chu Rui's plan, but he knew that once he was marked as "recovering the Ji Kingdom", it was inevitable that he would not end well.

Before he could realize it, Chu Rui had already grasped his weakness.

If he has been doing nothing, Ji Guo will disappear behind the curtain of history forever with the fleeting time.

However, resistance is already digging its own grave.

Why bother.

Since there are some conspiracies that cannot be escaped, then all the favors and debts owed after that should be recovered from him.

He clenched the cup tightly in his hand, turned around, and blew out the light that illuminated the room.

The night quietly diffused, wrapped in thick clouds, without starlight.

There were faint sounds, the rustling of leaves, and the flapping of birds' wings by the secluded lake in the palace.

When the time was up, Queen Su gently raised her eyes to look at the sky beyond the window lattice, with maternal kindness in her gestures.

At this moment, Axiu happened to put on a dress for the lady who was standing by the window sill and blowing the wind, while Su Shu's arms rested on her lower abdomen, and her fingers seemed to be casually and deliberately clutching the corners of the clothes that were hanging down.

She only knew that the one thing she was thinking about tossing and turning was to let the baby in her womb be born smoothly.

However, she still has long-cherished wishes and unfinished business.

In Qingxiang Palace, a cool breeze comes quietly.After being exposed to wind, sun, frost and rain, the Qinyuan flowers should have been defeated, and the ones that should have been crushed into flower mud have already been sprinkled into the soil.

She couldn't sleep all night, burning candles.

The next day, all the daily food and clothing that should be prepared arrived at Qingxiang Palace.

Axiu stepped forward, handled all the details, and checked every detail.

"My maidservant has seen the empress queen. Empress queen, this is what the king ordered, and I ask the empress queen to take a look at it one by one." The maidservant linked hands and smiled.

Queen Su looked at her, but couldn't remember which house she was a servant girl.

"Let's put these things on the table." Queen Su stared at her one more time, and the servant girl met her gaze, her eyes with a faint smile seemed to be able to penetrate all barriers, causing the hearts of those watching to collapse.

The maid leaned back and said, "Yes, empress queen. This brocade is soft, empress empress must take a closer look at it, especially the carefully forged phoenix crown."

The words deliberately emphasized by the maid made Queen Su doubtful and curious.

Queen Su approached the table covered with soft brocade, and found the phoenix crown placed in the red lacquer box.

"This phoenix crown..."

She looked at the thing in her hand, but found a slight color difference in the back corner of the jade crown. She stretched out her hand and pressed it, and a hidden compartment was pushed out, and a small piece of silk script lay quietly in the dark compartment.

Queen Su lowered her head, and after unfolding the silk book, she retreated in shock as if she had encountered a huge change.

"Your Majesty?!..." Axiu hurriedly supported her.

Who put this silk scroll in?How could the servant girl from just now be involved in this matter?

Queen Su's lips turned pale, she sat on the edge of the bed and looked around, panicking, as if she was being spied on all the time.

At that time, the morning mist had already dissipated like the mist on the lake, covering the city and palace gardens that stretched for hundreds of miles with a layer of warm broken light.

Feng Yanghou got up a little late today, and it was already past three quarters when the heavy palace gate opened.

He climbed up the stairs along the glorious Danbi, stepped on the long vermilion carpet, and stood still in front of the Qingxiang Palace. It took a long time before he stepped into the painted red threshold.

"My queen, the Marquis is here."

Feng Yanghou, who was dressed in a brocade robe, was standing not far away. As soon as Axiu saw him, he went into the inner hall to report.

Axiu invites the empress who is pregnant with Liujia from the inner hall.

When Su Shu walked three feet away from him, on her delicately made-up face, her black eyes covered the haggardness of yesterday.

At this moment, all the servants and servants in Qingxiang Palace have retreated, including the close maid Axiu.

In the huge palace, he was the only one left facing Queen Su, looking at each other in silence.

"Master Hou, would you like to hand over the Rhinoceros Grass?" After a while, Su Shu took the lead in breaking the mysterious atmosphere.

He didn't expect her to ask him for something so straightforwardly.

"Why did the empress make such a statement?" He frowned when he heard the words. The Qingxiang Palace had too much eyeliner, and if he was not careful, he would be caught. Soon, unwarranted charges would follow one after another.

"Master Hou, help me... I beg you..." Empress Su had tears in her eyes.

He couldn't help but ask, "What happened to the empress? Can the empress explain the ins and outs to the Marquis..."

The purpose of Queen Su's request for the rhinoceros is the chronic illness she was born with.However, he remembered that Queen Su was never afraid of life and death, so how could she be so flustered in such a short period of time?

"It is true that the Marquis does not have the spirit rhinoceros. If your empress is in a hurry, please tell me the reason."

He didn't know whether Queen Su was frightened or threatened—feeling like walking on thin ice, Queen Su still insisted on refusing to say.

"Your Majesty, this Marquis will try his best to find the Spirit Rhinoceros." Now he can only comfort her like this.

"The envoy of Rouli came to the royal city this morning. The civil and military personnel of the whole dynasty are present, and this Marquis has to go there as soon as possible." He bowed to her apologetically, and then walked out of Qingxiang Palace.

Su Shu turned around, lowered her eyes when she was holding hands, her eyes were dim.

"Niang Niang..." Ah Xiu whispered worriedly.

Su Shu leaned against the bedpost and stood up straight. Hearing this, she raised her hand to stop Axiu who was about to support her, and clenched her hand involuntarily.

When it rains heavily, the weather is very cold.In the gray sky, a slightly bleak sun was revealed.

The lifeless sunlight sprinkled on the eaves of the hall was dim and dull, as if it could plunder the brilliance on the glazed green tiles at any time.

Just after Si time, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt and sat in the huge hall, forming two factions, the civil servants were on the left, and the generals were on the right.

Envoy Rouli sat on the right side of His Majesty Dan's head, turned around and looked from a distance, and there were two generals in armor.

Ji looked up and saw King Zhou Hui sitting at the top and Feng Yanghou standing beside him.
