Chapter 209: King Xuan returns to the palace
How could Shi Hanshui not see it? That day, he had already noticed Zixuan's strangeness in the cave, and he was more eager than anyone else to rescue the prunella grass, and this affection was not simple.
Zixuan was too young after all, he saw that Shi Hanshui didn't speak, so he opened his mouth and said with emotion: "Master, the disciple and the sister of Xia Kucao are like brothers, we have become brothers and sisters when we go up the mountain, the disciple's heart is like a knife at the moment, the senior sister must still be alive, she is waiting for us to rescue, you are her dearest master, you will definitely not abandon her, and I hope that the master will be perfect, and allow the disciple to go down the mountain to find the junior sister." ”
The words have been said very clearly, Shi Hanshui didn't know how in his heart, and this matter could only be handed over to him, nodding his head, he saw that Zixuan's eyes were shining, he didn't know why he was quite unhappy in his heart, and he didn't know why.
Zixuan closed the door, feeling quite apprehensive in his heart, he had deliberately not inquired about the news of the world for so many years, and now he was like a world away when he re-entered the mortal world, and he didn't know if those people in the past could let go of those things.
Ten years of practicing in the mountains is like a day, and the experience that was too complicated seems to be forgotten now.
After packing his luggage, he said goodbye to Master and the others, and then went straight down the mountain.
When passing by Tucheng, I was really thirsty, so I went to a nearby tea shop to drink tea.
As soon as I sat down and took a sip, I listened to the table next to me. There were two men and one woman sitting at the table, and the men were all dressed as ordinary people, but the women did not look like serious women, and they were extremely revealing.
"Alas, I heard that no, the emperor has announced that the world is going to welcome the queen, it has been almost ten years, I heard that there are only a few people in the emperor's harem, and there are very few concubines, this queen must be the best among people. ”
"That's not, alas, I heard a few Taoist priests say that the emperor's new queen is a fox demon, and her appearance is extremely charming, the emperor fell in love with her at first sight, and she is now sparing no effort to hunt for treasures among the people, most likely to please the fox demon!"
The woman suddenly sighed, leaned on the body of the man who spoke, weak and weak, and her eyes were extremely charming, and gave the man a fragrant kiss and coquettishly said:
"What is the appearance of the concubine, and the guest officer is also worried about the fox demon?"
The man was immediately happy, kissed back, and was arrogant: "How can I let you be a national beauty and a natural fragrance, what kind of fox spirit do I want, do I think my life is short?" Hahaha——"
Ji Zixuan frowned slightly, what queen, what fox demon? Could it be that something big has happened in the palace recently?
Before leaving, Shizun did not reveal much, only the place where he could hide people in the Three Realms and not be searched was the only place he could go.
Zi Xuan thought about it, could the place where he could go without being searched was this palace?
But what does this matter have to do with Xia Kucao, the new queen was born unknown, and everyone speculated that it was actually a fox demon, which means that this woman has no background and is not the daughter of the powerful in the court, and Xia Kucao is missing, and the master can't find her, this time is also the same, it may be related to Xia Kucao, no matter what, there is a little opportunity can not be missed.
Zixuan walked out of the city gate, and saw that there were a lot of notices posted on the city gate, one of which was a document announcing the closure of the world, and the other was a document that was purchased with a lot of money to find the world's treasure.
All of a sudden, the treasure appraisal conference became a lively place, and everyone took out what they thought was a treasure to identify, hoping to be sold at a high price.
Zixuan went all the way to the capital, what he saw along the road felt more prosperous than ten years ago, the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, that person was afraid that he was dead?
He...... It was the pain in his heart, when he first heard the news of the new emperor's succession, he seemed to have taken off his guard, the initial hatred, disgust, and resistance were not worth mentioning, after all, the deceased was gone.
Zixuan stood in front of the gate of the palace, took out the heavy gold medal from the baggage, and shone in front of the guards, and everyone immediately knelt at his feet with stunned expressions and said in unison:
"I've seen King Xuan. ”
Yes, he is the emperor's fifth son Ji Zixuan, the younger brother of Ji Zigong and Ji Zilong, these two people fought to the death, and in the end, it was the eldest son of the emperor who was the crown prince at that time, and his eldest brother Ji Zigong won.
There is nothing to be thankful for, there is not much friendship between the princes, let alone any family affection, they are all half-fathers, with little connection, and the mothers are even more deceitful, competing for favor every day, since childhood, in this environment, there are very few people who can still believe in family affection.
Ji Zixuan looked up at the red wall, if his mother was born in an ordinary family, she would be happy and safe, but unfortunately she was favored by the emperor and lost her life, looking forward to it every day, waiting for it every day, the emperor's grace is not lacking, but the enemies are a lot, but in the end she died in the hands of her beloved, just because of the endless speculation and slander, love is simply the funniest joke in the world in this palace.
Ji Zixuan's heart was sad every time he took a step, ten years, a whole ten years, he thought that he would never step into this palace again, but he still came back, his palm was pinched out by his nails, Mother, son is back!
Ji Zigong didn't expect Ji Zixuan to come back, he pretended to smile and stood up, walked down the steps, and held Ji Zixuan's saluted arm with one hand:
"The fifth brother doesn't have to make this big gift, since I ascended the throne, you have never returned to the palace, it's really ruthless, and I don't come back to see my brothers, now it's hard to come back, the ceremony is exempt, tonight is a banquet, our brothers have a drink." ”
Ji Zixuan nodded: "Everything according to what the emperor said, I don't like the high walls of this deep palace, my brothers all know, I have not been proficient in management since I was a child, and I don't understand human feelings, I am used to it, and now when my brother is short of people, I can't help my brother in any way, this day of idle clouds and wild cranes is very suitable for me, and my brother is just passing through here this time, so come back and take a look, and worship my mother by the way, my brother doesn't have to make a big fanfare." ”
This is true, Ji Zigong patted him on the shoulder and smiled, although this Ji Zixuan has been favored by his father since he was a child, it is a pity that the murder case many years ago was a knot in his heart, since that day, his father has given up on him, and he is no longer among the threats of the crown prince.
Now called a brother and a brother, it is also to give the immortal family face, he cultivates immortals, if he succeeds, the foundation of the Ji family for thousands of generations in the future will also be protected, if nothing is done, there is no threat to him Ji Zigong, after all, he Ji Zixuan has no power in the court, and the power of the mother family was wiped out ten years ago, and he can't turn over.
After Ji Zixuan said goodbye to Ji Zigong, he went to the imperial mausoleum, and his mother should have entered the mausoleum with his father, right?
But standing in front of the imperial mausoleum, Ji Zixuan knelt there and cried like a child, without concealment, with a lot of tears in his nose, and the small yellow flowers on his hands scattered all over the ground.
The caretaker of the Yellow Tomb told him that his mother was not buried in the Imperial Tomb, what happened?
When his mother died, he was just buried hastily, and someone told him that when the emperor died, his mother would be buried in the imperial tomb with the emperor's body, how could there be no now?
Ji Zixuan immediately returned to Lishui Bay on the mountain behind the palace, where there was still a lonely tomb, which was overgrown with weeds, and swayed with the wind when it came.
Ji Zixuan knelt on the grave and cried, in his impression, the mother and the father were extremely affectionate, and the father and mother were also very fond of him and his mother, although the mother concubine's family was not extremely high-powered, but it was also the fourth rank in the court, even if she was at fault, the family would not be implicated, how could she not even be qualified to enter the imperial tomb.
Now this barren grave grows grass, it can be seen that it is declining, no one remembers his mother at all, let alone be worshiped by incense, he cultivates immortals outside, how can he always see, how lonely it should be for his mother to sleep here alone, his father is really so ruthless?
Ji Zixuan slowly tended to the barren grass one by one, the past was vivid, and the concubine's smile and smile were still remembered, so bright, so brilliant, like a person, and that person was missing.
Summer grass sat on the stool and kept kicking her toes, she was very hesitant, not knowing what the result would be now.
Ji Zigong has been gone for a long time, but there is still no movement, always pinning her hopes on others will really make her anxious, but there is nothing else she can do but wait.
She stood up and circled around the table, hoping that this would reduce her anxiety, and the eyes of the people on the beams of the room were so dazzled that they couldn't help but roll out of the window. Startled the summer withered grass, it turned out that the dark guard had been on the beam of the house.
She just had a doubt, and hurriedly stopped him, but he ignored it, pretending not to hear and ran away, and Xia Withered Cao looked at his hand and cut it, and ran faster than a rabbit.
Strange, is the thing in her hand solved or not, or, is it useless?
It's a pity that she made a deal with Ji Zigong, she wants to save Bichen and Jian Yang now, even if she is released, she will not leave.
When Prunella was drinking water, there was movement outside the door, Prunella thought it was those familiar people, and hurriedly ran over to open the door, the door opened, but there was no one, the chest suddenly stuffed, poof, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the door frame, instantly felt the sky spinning, unconscious fell down.
When Ji Zixuan came back, he saw that there was already chaos in the palace, and everyone was rushing away, as if facing a great enemy, Ji Zixuan curiously grabbed a person: "What happened, why are you all panicking?"
The man hurriedly saluted and said: "Report to King Xuan, the little one was about to pick up the folk divine doctor, the queen suddenly fell to the ground, the imperial doctor was helpless, the emperor was furious, everyone was doing things with their heads, King Xuan still avoided it!"
After the man finished speaking, he rushed away, Ji Zixuan was stunned, and he couldn't figure it out, what queen fell to the ground, and even the imperial doctor was helpless?
He just went to worship his mother concubine, and when he came back, such a big thing happened, this harem is really a place of right and wrong, but in this way, it is okay to take advantage of the chaos to quickly search around to see if there is anyone he is looking for in the palace.
Ji Zixuan stood on the beams of the house, watching everyone go in and out, and the folk Lang Zhong came and returned disappointed, but he didn't step out of the front door, and they were all locked in the small black room.
Ji Zixuan shook his head, he had the courage to come in, but he didn't have the ability to go out, the imperial doctor couldn't heal well, didn't you come to send him to death, this emperor's heart is the most difficult to guess.
