The palace maid Xin Jiu was still chattering, when she suddenly heard several other palace maids screaming in unison: "Is it Botuo? is it really Botuo?"

After the screams, several palace maids had earthy faces, trembling all over, unable to move.

Zixi happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, and was puzzled, pulled the collar of the fox fur, walked straight to several palace maids, and asked, "What are you all talking about?

Several palace maids became more and more nervous and trembling, thinking that the heroine was taking a nap at this time, and she had not taken a nap today.

"Madame...... I...... I ......" The palace maid Xin Jiu swallowed and vomited, and stopped talking.

"What's all the fuss about?" and said, "What is it Bo Tuo?"

"Madame: I'm afraid of scaring Madame when I say it......" The palace maid Xin Jiu shrank back, looked at the thief, and said timidly.

"It's okay...... I'm not scared, and I don't blame you for saying it and scaring you. ”

"Mrs. Yubao: Just now the slave maid went to the imperial dining room to prepare dinner, and met Xin Liu from Wenyu Palace (we haven't seen each other for a long time), so she took the slave maid's hand and quietly chatted with the slave maid......

"What are you talking about? Zixi urged.

"Yes, ma'am. Xinliu secretly told the slave maid: ...... in the city Lost babies in town...... All...... It's all for ...... To Berta ...... Bo Tuo dug his heart and ate it. The more the palace maid Xin Jiu spoke, the more timid she became, and her voice became quieter and quieter.

It turned out that the one who was called Xin Liu was the palace maid who served Ye Li in Wenyu Palace, and when Qu Yi proposed to give birth to the baby's heart, she was on the spot, and she was paralyzed on the ground in fright. Although Yeli vetoed it at the time, he later adopted Qu Yi's suggestion. Therefore, the loss of the baby in China, Xin Liu also guessed nine out of ten. She had nowhere to vent her panic in her heart, so she asked Xin Jiu for a discharge. Bixin Jiu likes to chew the root of his tongue, and he came to secretly tell the palace maid next to him, but he was overheard by the quilt Zixi.

When Zixi heard this, he felt like a blow to his head, and he was dizzy: "What did you say? Give it to me...... Say it again to me!"

"I heard...... I heard that the babies lost in the city were eaten by Bo Tuo. Xin Jiu shrunk his shoulders and snorted.

"This ...... How is this possible?" Zixi heard it clearly this time, and suddenly his face turned pale, and a cold air swished up from the soles of his feet, cold all over his body, and his body shook and fell backwards.

This frightened several palace maids, and they were frightened and in a hurry, and they hurriedly helped Zixi into the bedroom.

Zixi was frightened, fainted, and didn't wake up leisurely until the evening, but remembering that Yeli dug the baby's heart and ate it raw, he shuddered and sweated, and Yeli's last position in Zixi's heart also collapsed.

Seeing Zixi wake up, several palace maids sighed and relieved.

The palace maid Xinjiu brought a small bowl of glutinous rice porridge to feed, Zixi only took a few small bites, then pushed it away, and couldn't eat it.

After two days in a row, Zixi still couldn't keep his spirits up, and his mind was depressed and sluggish all day long. On the third day, it was reported that Zai Fu Duo Yi had entered the Huining Palace and announced that she had received the edict.

When Zixi heard the news, he got up in a panic and dressed up, dressed in a vegetarian body, and led all the palace maids out of the palace to kneel to receive the edict.

I saw Duo Yi unfold the edict and read it out loud: "Fengtian carrier, Botuo edict said: There is a former dynasty (noble) Mrs. Xi, since the filial piety system, day and night for the Daxing ancestor Botuo burns incense and chant scriptures, Qi prays for the health of the soul, so that the gods lose weight and mourn, Si Cheng is enough to move the Wensheng Wuzu, so that all the people respect and obey." From now on, pardon the period of filial piety, and do not let you worry. Te Wai Si Zhi, this pardon is issued. ”

After reading it, Duo Yi said, "Mrs. Xi, please accept the holy decree." ”

"The surviving man Zixi took the order. Zixi raised his arm and took the edict.

Duo Yi lost no time in flattering and said: "Mrs. Xi is now full of filial piety, and her wealth in the future is limitless, and I hope that Mrs. will help her more in the future." ”

"Where is there any wealth to speak of for the surviving, since Botuo has pardoned me for the period of filial piety, please also ask Lord Duo to say a few more kind words in front of Botuo, and ask for an edict for the surviving people, and grant me permission to leave the Tiandu Holy Palace as soon as possible and return to Stu City, so as to live the rest of my life. ”

"How could Madame Xi say this?" Duo Yi said in surprise, "Now Madame Xi is a collection of thousands of graces, Bo Tuo is about to give the newly built golden platform to Madame Xi with her own hands, how can Madame Xi say the words of leaving the Tiandu Holy Palace?"

"Lord Duo: The surviving person has been unwell recently and can't talk to Lord Duo, please forgive me. Zixi saw that his words were not harmonious and did not want to talk more, so he ordered, "Xin Jiu, send Lord Duo for me." ”

"You don't have to send each other, the old minister retires. Seeing that Zixi had ordered the eviction of guests, Duo Yi was bored, made a slight salute, and left with a disgraced face.

Duoyi returned to Wenyu Palace to reply to the decree, and gave the edict to Yeli 1510.

Yeli carefully inquired about Zixi's recent situation, and when he heard that Zixi was sick, he was very anxious, so he wanted to visit Huining Palace in person, raised his legs and walked a few steps quickly, and suddenly took it back stiffly.

It turned out that although Yeli was eager to see each other, he was afraid of being underestimated by Zixi, because he remembered that the last time he went out of Huining Palace, he made a vow: After the completion of the Golden Terrace, he will go to see her Zixi again, and now that the Golden Terrace has not been completed, he is naturally embarrassed to see it.

In the end, he said secretly: This has been the case for nearly two years, so why care about these few days, and when it comes to the ceremony of the Golden Stage, wouldn't it be better for me to personally invite her to the Golden Stage?

Yeli made up his mind, and he was much calmer, and he never took the words of Zixi wanting to return to Stu City in his heart. Then he sent an edict ordering the imperial doctor to go to Huining Palace to diagnose Zixi's illness as soon as possible, and to ensure that Zixi could attend the inauguration ceremony of the Golden Terrace on the day of the "Xiangyou Festival".

Later, Yeli sent an edict to the duoyi: 1. From tomorrow, the finishing project of the golden platform should be stepped up and must be completed before the "Xiangyou Festival"; 2. The master of ceremonies should prepare the cloth decoration of the golden platform, such as putting up lanterns and building colorful tents; 3. It is said that the ministers of civil and military affairs of various counties and prefectures can bring their dependents to the holy palace on the day of the "Xiangyou Festival" to watch the inauguration ceremony of the golden platform, so as to show that they are happy with the people and celebrate with the whole world.

Duo Yi obeyed the command, withdrew from Wenyu Palace, and conveyed the will of Yeli.

Qu Yi temporarily served as the superintendent of the Golden Terrace, and received the edict of Duoyi, which not only made the craftsmen and laborers rush to work day and night, but also coincided with the good weather, and worked hard, and finally five days before the "Xiangyou Festival", the Golden Terrace was completed.

The master of ceremonies began to decorate the gold table, and lanterns, ribbons, red ropes and other decorations were all in full swing.

The ministers of civil and military affairs of various counties and prefectures also prepared enough gifts, brought their families, and rushed to the Tiandu Holy Palace one after another to participate in the inauguration ceremony of this grand golden platform.

And the various places in the holy palace have already been arranged, and the flying ribbons and red lanterns in the sky show the extraordinary festive atmosphere of the royal family.

In a blink of an eye, the day before the "Xiangyou Festival", the weather was sunny and the wind was cold.

Yeli decided to go to Huining Palace in person and invite Zixi to participate in the grand ceremony of the Golden Terrace, so he got up early, finished washing, and looked new under the careful makeup of the palace maids. I saw that he was wearing a vermilion and purple fleece robe, lined with snow-white silk jackets, and a pair of mink fur jaw boots, which made him look more and more energetic.

The night is in a happy mood, and I can't help but walk to the big bronze mirror on the ground, looking left and right, shaking my sleeves for a while, pulling the jacket for a while, and turning around for a while...... Just like the New Year's child put on new clothes, he was very satisfied, and he was hypocritical in every way.

But at this time, suddenly a palace guard came to report: Dahu Tu led Lord Ghost and the blood chief to ask for a meeting outside the palace.

When he heard the news at night, he immediately swept his head, and ordered the three of them to enter the palace with a calm face.

After a short time, Qu Yi led the ghost and the blood to enter the palace and bowed his head.

But I saw that the armor of the ghost and the blood Wuyan were broken, covered in blood, and they looked embarrassed.

Yeli was surprised and asked, "Why did you two become like this?"

"Qi Qi Botuo: Linjiang County has been taken away by a group of thieves, all the soldiers have been killed, and only the ghost is left to break out of the siege. Qu Yiyu said, obviously he had received the news in advance.

"A gang of thieves, so powerful, so many soldiers who can kill the widow?" Yeli was shocked.

"Qi Qi Botuo: The leader of that gang of thieves is named Duan Siping, he has a magic spear in his hand, which can fly in the air to kill people, and ride a dragon horse under his crotch, with horns and scales, and can also fly away in the air, and the small ones and others can't resist it, so the whole army is annihilated. The ghost crouched on the ground and said in fear.

"It seems that the evil god from which mountain is the enemy of the widow. Yeli sighed helplessly, "That's it, the widow just wanted to get some gold from that Linjiang County at first, but now that the Golden Terrace has been built, there is no need to fight with them." Oni: The widow will not cure your sin, so stay by Dahutu's side in the future and listen to it. ”

"Great grace to Sheboto. The ghost kowtowed again and again to thank him and stepped aside.

Ye Li looked directly at Blood Wuyan and asked, "Blood Chief, why did you become like this?"

Blood Wuyan knelt on the ground with his knees folded, and said with a sad face: "Qi Qi Botuo: Since the small clan returned to Tatibao, because of the great loss of troops, he was often harassed and sneak attacked by the Yifen clan and the merchant clan. Just over a month ago, the combined forces of the Yifen clan and the Shangliu clan captured Tatibao, driving out all our people, and the father and son of the Yanqi elders were also killed in the chaos. Xiao Fan escaped the pursuit, so he wanted to come to Tiandu to go to Botuo, and happened to meet Lord Oni on the way, so they came together. Now that the small domain is desperate, he still hopes that Botuo will take in the small domain for the sake of his former service. ”

"I see...... It's a pity that the father and son of the elder Yanqi. Then you...... From now on, stay in Tiandu, and then the widow will give you an official position. Yeli sighed sadly, and then instructed Qu Yidao: "Dahutu, you take them down first, wash off your bad luck, and then participate in the inauguration ceremony of the Golden Terrace tomorrow." ”

"No!" Qu Yi bowed his head and responded.

The blood flowed together, and he kowtowed and said: "Xie Botuo is a great grace! Xie Botuo is a great ......."

Under the guidance of Qu Yi, Xuewuyan climbed up and retreated with the ghost.

The blood did not show the country, the family died, and finally lived in the country of Beiji and died of old age, and the pride of the year was like a cloud of smoke dissipated.
