Chapter 101: Su Daji's Fox Nightmare (16)
Daji (i.e., Hanruo) returned to the palace, and Di Xin was reviewing the recitals in the Nine Rooms, next to which a pile of bamboo slips was piled up like a hill.
Daji tucked her skirt lightly, sat down on Di Xin's left hand side, took the food plate handed by Bai Lu, opened it gently, and a tempting aroma came to her nose.
"What kind of soup did you bring today?" Di Xin closed the book he had just approved, and a smile tugged at the corner of his mouth.
Daji estimated the hour, and every day when he felt sleepy, he brought a soup to nourish and relieve his fatigue. A woman is not interested in her man, which can be seen from these details.
"The four gentlemen stew wild mountain soup. The autumn weather is dry and dry, the king is very hard every day, the wild pheasant is rich in nutrition, the meat is delicious, the soup of the four gentlemen is neutral and righteous, tonifies the spleen and invigorates qi, and it is drunk at this time. Daji said, and took a bowl with a silver spoon and handed it to Di Xin.
"Four gentlemen?" Di Xin raised his eyebrows in confusion.
"It is ginseng, poria, atractylodes, and licorice herbs, which are of great benefit to the human body. The soup is warm but not dry, tonic but not harsh, and is most suitable for daily nourishment. Daji told the story. Just kidding! She's the most famous Chinese medicine doctor of a certain era! What is a mere Four Gentlemen's Soup to her?
But Di Xin didn't think so. Di Xin's idea was: Daji, a prince and noblewoman, in order to nourish his body, put down his body, and secretly asked the medical officer to do how much homework he did, so that he could make soup for him so often in different ways. The fresh soup was immediately in his mouth, but this affection lingered in his heart. The corners of Di Xin's mouth curled slightly.
"King, I went out of the city today and met Jiang Guoshi. Seeing that Di Xin was happy to eat, Daji told him about today's events by the way.
There is no impermeable wall in the world, rather than letting the other party know some one-sided information and secretly guessing, it is better to take the initiative to say it and eliminate the possibility of misunderstanding first. The idea of wanting the other person to trust themselves unconditionally no matter what happens is stupid. What qualifications does a person who does not care about other people's ideas and does not even bother to explain a sentence ask others to trust him unconditionally?
"The common people are important?" Di Xin muttered after hearing this, frowning his heroic thick eyebrows slightly.
"Yes. Jiang Ziya can't disobey his master, and we must not let him become our enemy, only by giving him a new reason, at least so that he can be impartial and neutral, then we will win. Daji smiled slightly, and two shallow pear vortices rippled on the side of her cheeks, looking sweet.
Di Xin's eyes were dazzled by Daji's smile, and his hand holding the soup bowl accidentally hit the corner of the desk, and he was slightly pained. Fortunately, the soup was not spilled, and there was no gaffe. He quickly retracted his thoughts, and after a little thought of Daji's idea, he felt that it was wonderful, and his eyes sparkled when he looked at her, "Your idea is very good!"
Di Xin originally thought that he would kill Jiang Ziya if he couldn't do it. But how difficult it is to kill a person like Jiang Ziya, who is superb in Taoism! If he can't hit it in one fell swoop, I'm afraid he will face his crazy counterattack. And if you want to kill him in one fell swoop, I'm afraid only a saint-level person can do it. Not to mention how much it costs to pay, there are only a few saints, who would have such a mortal enmity with another saint of the same level?
Daji smiled softly and mentioned another thing casually, "Great King, when I came back, I saw that Doctor Li seemed to have gone to the place where Xibohou lived. β
"Oh, he went to see Xibohou and reported it to me. Di Xin thought that Daji was afraid that his people would be bought by Xibohou.
"He's already asked Dr. Li to see him three times this month, right?"
"Yes. As people get older, they get sick. Dixin didn't find this strange. Before my father died of illness, he asked the medical officers to take turns guarding it all day and night!
"Xibohou is old, and he doesn't know how long he can live, he has hundreds of sons, should he be at the bedside?" Daji looked at Di Xin with a smile.
Di Xin looked at Daji's crescent-like eyes and instantly understood what she meant.
"That's right, if the father is sick, how can the children be happy and unconcerned regardless of the question! β
"King, Xibohou is recuperating in Chaoge, and Xiqi has to be taken care of. I heard that the eldest son of Xibohou, Bo Yi Kao, is unparalleled in filial piety and righteousness, and has the style of a gentleman, and his second son, Ji Fa, is heroic and martial arts, and likes to walk around and make friends, so why don't you let Bo Yi Kao'an guard Xiqi, and Ji Fa brings his other brothers to the court to sing songs to their father to fulfill their filial piety?"
Bo Yi Kaoren is more than weak, but not brave. Ji Fa is both civil and military, and likes to "make friends", which shows that he likes to form parties and is ambitious. If Bo Yi Kao is allowed to come to Chaoge, Ji Fa will inevitably take over Xiqi's affairs, and if there is any accident in Bo Yi Kao, Ji Fa will be in power and will become a much greater threat than Bo Yi Kao.
"Concubine Ai is reasonable, just do it!" Daji and Di Xin discussed these two people, and in Di Xin's "dream", it was Ji Fa who took away his world. Although Ji found that he had not yet expressed his ambitions, Di Xin was still very jealous of him. So as soon as Daji spoke, Di Xin knew what she meant!
The attendant who sent the decree carefully held the decree and stepped out of the threshold of the Nine Halls.
Di Xin stared at Daji for a long time, and then said, "Daji, you have changed!"
"Huh?" Daji looked at Di Xin suspiciously, wondering why he suddenly said such a thing.
"I can't tell why, I just think you've changed. It seems to have started after the three of them followed Bo Yi to take the test. β
In the past, Daji was charming to the bone, but now she makes people feel very cold, like the snow in the mountains, which can be viewed from a distance and appreciated closely, but not blasphemed. Obviously it is the same face, the same person, Di Xin even knows her rouge mole a few centimeters and inches behind her ears, but she gives people a completely different feeling before and after.
"What if...... What if I said, I wasn't me before?" Daji hesitated for a moment, then decided to tell SΓΉ Dixin everything.
In this era, it is not the future generations who do not believe in ghosts and gods. Immortals, gods, humans, and demons coexist in one life, and immortal cultivators walk everywhere. Wen Zhong, Huang Feihu and others are all the humerus of the country with profound Taoist skills, and many famous cultivators are in high official positions in the court. There are rumors of monsters popping up in the world every once in a while, and there is often solid evidence. There is no obstacle to people's acceptance of demons and monsters. Daji didn't think that Di Xin would be estranged from him because of this.
Besides, Daji's suspicion of Di Xin is not so simple. He was most likely reborn, with some memories of his past life still in his head. Because he often looks at everyone around him with refined eyes, and sometimes after dealing with something superficially, he will send someone to investigate the private reaction of the person involved. Sometimes, there are complex expressions that are difficult to understand about certain things.
The most important thing is that Daji had discovered that Di Xin secretly recorded some strange things, and then quietly burned them. For example: "In May of the year of Wuzi, Ji Chang rebelled", "In August of the year of Gengyin, Taishi died in battle", "In November of the year of Xinmao, the song of the dynasty was broken, Shang was destroyed, and it was burned", "In the first month of the year of Renchen, Zhou Li" ......
Daji saw the remaining characters from the bamboo slips that Di Xin had not burned and deduced the complete sentence. These words are bits and pieces, these things have not happened yet, and if it were anyone else, they would definitely not think of it. But Da already has memories of her past life, and it is easy to restore them.
To be able to write about these things, Di Xin is either a cross-passer, or he is reborn. Judging from his love for the Shang Dynasty and his adaptation to this era, Daji boldly speculated that he was the reborn Emperor Xin. As for why he didn't directly prevent himself from entering the palace, it was probably because he was not reborn from infancy! Just like himself, he also wore it from halfway, not from infancy. In addition, he may not have found out that Daji in his previous life was a demon until he died.
Sure enough, Di Xin did not show fear and avoidance, but was shocked, and then realized. He grabbed Daji's slender hand, held it in his warm and generous palm, and said softly sincerely, "Sue me, what's the matter?"
Daji told her about the fact that her body was invaded by the nine-tailed fox.
No wonder! Di Xin hugged Daji tightly in his arms. She couldn't do anything but watch others do things against her will with her body, what a terrible thing for a weak girl!
"Don't worry, it's all over, and I won't let this happen again. Di Xin whispered to comfort Daji, and at the same time, his heart shook the earth.
If Daji has been possessed by a fox demon, then in that dream, Daji, who was still scolded as a "fox spirit" after death, has he also been possessed? As soon as people see the reality clearly, they will find out a lot of clues from the reality, and all kinds of irrationalities that have been ignored before have appeared. Looking back on that "dream" now, Di Xin feels that it may not just be a dream, but a real life.
When Daji used the nine-tailed fox to show off to Daji, he told Emperor Xin that he was the hallucination of the nine-tailed fox planted in his mind by Empress Jiang and his two sons, and Di Xin had a strong killing intent towards the fox in his heart. No wonder he asked Feishuang and Bai Lu about it later, but they couldn't ask anything, and Jiao'er and Hong'er also had evidence that they didn't go to the palace for two days. He was wondering how his son, who had grown up since he was a child, suddenly became like that!
No wonder in that "dream", those people did not regret it at all after the fall of the Shang Dynasty, and scolded Daji as a monster. Perhaps, that's the reality! No, that's the reality. Di Xin felt that his mind had never been clearer than it was now.
Dare to? Dare to harm the country of the big merchants? Okay then! I must let her soul fly away and pay the price! Di Xin hated in his heart.
