CHAPTER XXIV

On the top of the nine-step stone staircase, the flying willow pill, the water of the pond pavilion is reflected in the green pine, bamboo and cypress.

On the nine-fold stone steps, build one side around the water platform, on the water platform stands a delicate and exquisite pavilion and pavilion, on both sides is the quiet and beautiful pool hall water corridor, the hall is about more than ten meters high, four cornices are hung with copper bells, the breeze blows, it is "ding ding dong dong" to play up, the carved dragon that rao the roof of the wall is built, the scales and claws are dancing, the whiskers are flying, as if to take off and go away.

The princesses of all the countries who were wet and hard from the lake and climbed the shore, their original pretty faces were washed white by the cold lake water, and they were like hanged ghosts, panting, rolling their eyes and sticking out their tongues, walking slowly like turtles, and staggering onto the water platform.

At that moment, they were all choked with tears, and they couldn't help but want to blow their sore noses for the difficulties they had along the way.

- Paralysis, although I knew that Emperor Jing of the Dao was a shaking S, but I still didn't expect him to "play" them so hard at the beginning, so they can still play happily together in the future!

When the other Hubu Shangshu had just secretly sent the four unconscious princesses of the small country to the shore for treatment, he inadvertently looked back and saw that Princess Bao Dai was still pestle on the bow of the ship like a wooden stake, and he couldn't help but tighten his face.

He swept away the hot wind with his sleeves in a fake way, but secretly vigilant around, secretly glad that he had a lot of eyes when he landed on the shore just now, and deliberately picked a piece of rockery surrounded by trees, and now with this layer of cover, he can avoid being discovered that he is cheating.

However, this "evidence" of cheating refuses to disappear, does she plan to continue to prepare for the pit of officials? He cautiously glanced at the pavilion water platform, then tiptoed back on the boat, stepped forward in a very angry manner, lowered his voice and asked as calmly as possible: "Princess Bao Dai, didn't you just go on a trip?" Why don't you hurry up and occupy the place, I don't see that everyone is almost halfway there. ā€

Yu Ziying had already heard his footsteps and remained silent, but only then did he turn his head to look at the Hubu Shangshu.

Compared with the young and indifferent of the Ministry of Rites, he is more sophisticated and cautious, his face is about thirty years old, the corners of his eyes are not too small to have fine lines, and he has two eyebrows and beards, neat and tidy, and he seems to have a straight face, but in fact his eyes are delicate and cunning, which is really slippery and elusive.

"About half a month ago, did you do something that you still regret to this day?" Yu Ziying said.

As soon as these brainless words fell, Tobe Shangshu was stunned, and then twitched the corners of his mouth with a strange face: "Princess Bao Dai, what do you mean by this, do you still want to participate-"

"Ziluo has an ugly face, died five days ago, your sins and accounts, and the things of half a month ago, have been covered by evil spirits, and the disaster is enough to the lifeline." Yu Ziying's lips were buzzing, with a touch of bewitching red, and her face was cold.

The son fell ugly and died five days ago...... Tobe Shangshu's eyes widened, and the surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he heard her repeatedly mention "half a month ago", and his heart "groaned", like a heavy stone almost out of breath, and his legs were soft and crisp.

"You-how do you know, no-" Hube Shangshu came back to his senses in an instant, and glared at Yu Ziying with a sharp face: "What do you want to do when you secretly investigate my family's affairs?" ā€

He is now thirty-seven years old, but now he has only one child, born in the main room, now only fifteen, is the eldest son and sister-in-law, but over the years he has not only given birth to a son, fourteen years ago he had a beautiful concubine who was pregnant with a son, but in his birth suddenly thunder and lightning, the weather was bad, some people this is a sign of disaster star, at that time he did not believe it, but when the baby was carried out from the delivery room by the midwife with a pale face......

When he saw that the baby had three arms and two legs, and its appearance was as ugly as a monster, he was immediately stunned, and then thought about the calamity he had heard before, how could he tolerate such a monster as a son with a bright future for his dignified ministers, and immediately his heart was furious, and he fell to death on the spot.

At that time, the concubine had just woken up in a daze, and when she saw her child in the porter who had not even whimpered and had been thrown to death, she went crazy and hanged herself on the beam of the house the next day.

This incident touched him very much, and on the one hand, he blamed himself for being impulsive, and on the other hand, he was also afraid that he would kill the child with his own hands, so that he was determined to pay attention to the fact that he would never have another child in this life.

However, after so many years, he thought that this matter had long been forgotten, but unexpectedly half a year ago it accidentally caused a concubine to become pregnant again, when he was like a thunderbolt, until a few months after pregnancy, he has been restless, sleepless, the whole person has lost weight, he has been dreaming of his dead child's dead eyes that are not blind, in a trance, he is like a demon, so he boiled a bowl of abortion pills, and then poured into the mouth of the pregnant concubine with his own eyes.

However, the concubine was already seven months pregnant, and the fetus was undoubtedly the most dangerous at this moment, but at that time, he was like a demonic obstacle, regardless of it, forcibly executed, and after a night, when he was fully awake, he heard the bad news from his subordinates - one corpse and two lives.

At that time, a deeper sense of guilt than he had been a dozen years ago had almost overwhelmed him.

One corpse, two lives, he did evil!

This child may not be a monster like the previous child, but because of his cowardice and fear, he actually killed his own bed and his own son with his own hands, and he regretted it, and his intestines were blue!

"There is no need to investigate so much, your red veins run through the pupils of your eyes, the sinister appearance, the horizontal lines in the middle of the person, and the loss of two children, as far as ten years ago, nearly half a month ago." Yu Ziying didn't even bother to lift her eyelids.

The fingers of the Hubu Shangshu hidden under the red robe trembled, and the whole person was stunned.

"The clouds are thick and the sun does not see the light, and the light is away from the yin, but all the small, remote and dark places are avoided to save their lives." Yu Ziying doesn't care whether he believes it or not, she should only look at the face and save this risk for him, after all, now is the time to employ people, no matter what else happens, this person will have a lot to do in the political affairs of Chaoyuan State, it is useful to keep it, and it is a pity to abandon it.

"What are you, who are you, what the hell are you talking about? I—I don't believe it, you're talking nonsense! Tobe Shangshu's eyes were red, and even though he was angry with his eyebrows, he forced a hard breath with emptiness in his nose.

Although her words are mysterious, but the head of the household is still diligent and knowledgeable, and he can basically understand it thoroughly, but this transparency makes him chill and frightened, and he will only write it down so carefully if he is dizzy.

"I say it, believe in you, and do it as you will...... If you die, I will not have time to worship. Yu Ziying said seriously.

Poof-As soon as Tobe Shangshu heard this poisonous word, he was like being punched hard, and almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood.

——

Seeing that the hour was almost up, Yu Ziying Shi Shiran got off the boat, leaving only Hubu Shangshu to stay on the bow of the boat like a wandering spirit.

- He was obedient and told him not to go to the shade, he really chose to be exposed to the sun.

Yu Ziying was very "moved" by the consciousness of Hubu Shangshu, and while looking for a place to settle down on the water platform, she was also thinking about another thing.

The "light pink" princess said a word in the water is transliterated "yan", whether this is a person's name or a country name, or some kind of code she can't figure out, but these four people can make this kind of blatant assassination incident, must have a mortal heart, at that time Yu Ziying's underwater questioning was a trick, and when her psychological defense was lax, she could confide in a word, if they waited for them to go ashore and rebuild their psychological defense, it would inevitably fail to achieve the effect of her questioning in the water. It is more likely that they will be killed directly.

But she can't just kill them, the five of them disappeared from the water at the same time, and if the other four find out that they were killed, she will not escape the suspicion, and she also intends to set up a drama to lure the snake out of the hole.

"Sure enough, it's better to look it up literally first......"

The background names of these princesses are not clear, and this matter has to obtain a detailed list of countries from Emperor Jing.

When the princesses of all countries finally arrived on the water platform, it should have been a beautiful scenery. Taste the peerless color, and revert to the posture of the city, "the beauty is near the water, but now it has become a fallen phoenix with decadence and malaise, and the fur of the whole body is wet with "beautiful curled beads, sitting deep and frowning, but seeing the tears wet, I don't know who I hate".

The envoys of all countries were invited by Emperor Jing and set up seats in the corridor, and some special people were invited to the carved dragon wall pavilion where Emperor Jing was located.

The summer sun is like a tiger, shining on the surface of the lake, Emperor Jing stands on a towering high place with his hands, a crown dress makes him noble, he stands in the thin sun of the faint light transmission, his face is as cold as snow, he swept them with a full momentum, and then opened his lips: "Perseverance, rotten wood does not break, perseverance, gold and stone can be carved, today the widow has seen the perseverance shown by the princesses of all countries, and the widow wants to find a heart contract, similar to the person who is in harmony with God, but can stand on the side of the widow with his head high, it is a weak and retreating person." ā€

Everyone was stunned, and looked up at Emperor Jing who was as unfathomable as a phantom, and secretly wondered in their hearts - could it be that he was explaining the intention of this question to her and others?

However, the four patients who knew the truth of the Tao heard the words, but they sneered and complained one after another.

- Hypocrisy! BY jealousy

- Shameless! BY arrogant

-! BY Lust

- Nima! BY angry

At this time, the overseer of Dongchang folded his sleeves with both palms, smiled and narrowed a pair of kind eyes, bent down slightly and saluted: "At present, the princesses present are all blessed people who have passed the test, come here, take the princesses down to change their clothes first......"

Well? Is that the end of it? The women were stunned for a while.

"Wait, Your Majesty Emperor Jing! We are here to join the family, not to be humiliated, although I do not deny that you have some truth, but I think your examination is not too rough, we are all princesses of a country, and ordinary women, I hope you can use a more normal way to "communicate" with us. ā€

Emperor Jing looked at the princess who was in her early stages, she was a very beautiful and outstanding woman, about seventeen or eighteen flowers, some people said that women are like water, with the tenacity of water, the clarity of water, the gentleness of water, and the tranquility of water, and she happened to be a woman made of water.

She looked at Emperor Jing with her head raised and was neither strong nor weak, her eyes seemed to be infused with all her strength, shining brightly, her eyebrows were lightly swept and lightly applied, and her red lips were a little crazy.

"Normal? Also. A voice of ambiguity and indifference sounded, and few people could hear the ulterior motives contained in it.

Emperor Jing only glanced at her face casually, then looked away, naturally he didn't see the slightly lost wry smile in the eyes of the princess made of water, but Yu Ziying was in full view.

- The princess who dared to call Emperor Jing in public was either too stupid or too scheming, she made a note for her to be observed later.

Emperor Jing actually responded to the princess's request, which surprised the princesses of all the countries below, and they frequently peeked at her with a colored look.

One is to admire her courage in expressing her opinions in public and emphasizing the dignity of the princess, and the other is to wonder that Emperor Jing would talk to her, could it be that she has something peculiar and attractive?

——

Yu Ziying was first led by a few ordinary Gong E, and then turned a corner in the corridor, Gong E handed her over to the chief housekeeper who had been waiting around the corner in the morning, and after he respectfully saluted Yu Ziying and said hello, he took her alone to a very remote and hidden courtyard room to change clothes.

Yu Ziying didn't need to guess to know that this was all an arrangement privately instructed by Emperor Jing.

When she saw that there were a hundred sets of brand-new gorgeous clothes and beautiful clothes neatly placed in the room, Yu Ziying's expression froze, and she suddenly felt very speechless.

- What is the swelling of Ni Coal's immediacy of being raised?!

There was no one in the room, Yu Ziying picked out a set of clothes casually, so that when the screen was taking off a coat, he only heard a "pop" sound, and was restrained by a cold and violent force, and fell back directly and hit the bed.
