Chapter 8: A courtier becomes a thief
On the way back when King Huai sent Diexi back, he watched her bow her head all the way and whispered, feeling very uncomfortable, and wanted to open her mouth to comfort, but she didn't know where to start.
Diexi said goodbye to him quietly and walked into the Prime Minister's Mansion quietly. King Huai looked at her slender back, and it didn't seem like the child he was spoiling and tired of. Her back stood straight, her steps were steady, her head was slightly raised, and she was so awe-inspiring that she wanted to say goodbye to him.
Xi'er, you won't regret it, after so many years, you should have gotten used to me.
King Huai prayed in his heart, turned around and went back to the palace lonely.
Diexi returned to the room, Jingqi still wanted to tease her, looked at her serious appearance, and asked her timidly, "What's wrong?" Unpleasant with His Highness? ”
"Do I know King Rui?" Diexi sat under the window and looked at the bright moon in the sky. In her last life, Master told her that if she was hesitant to do something, she should look up at the sky, and the sky was still bright and the moon was still bright. There is no difference between tonight and yesterday.
Jingqi seemed taken aback, trembling and trying to change the topic, "Did Your Highness say something?" Oops, caring is messy. ”
"Do I know King Rui?" Diexi retracted her gaze, forced her gaze at Jingqi, and asked again word by word.
Jingqi's face was anxious, and he knelt on the ground with a puff, "Little Miss, what are you asking for?" ”
"That's the acquaintance, is that what happened?" Diexi sighed, has he already drawn the line? Yes, he called himself Miss Bai, what did he still expect.
"Little Miss, there are two people in this Prime Minister's Mansion that you can't mention, one is your biological mother, the fourth lady, and the other is King Rui."
Diexi glanced at the door and closed it tightly. Only then did he squat down, looked at Jingqi levelly, and said softly, "Sue me, what's going on." ”
Jingqi sighed heavily before saying: "You were only five years old when you first entered the palace, and you went around in the harem, and when you were brought to the master, you were dirty and dirty, not to mention, and there were injuries on your body, the emperor and the lord asked you what's wrong, you said that you saw a beautiful man from the sky, fell from the tree with a stumbling foot, and asked the emperor if he could marry King Rui."
Everyone thinks it's funny, and then they always call you into the palace, and you always run after him. It wasn't until two years later that he was crowned king at the palace banquet, you accidentally fell into the water and fell ill, and after that, no matter how the queen mother summoned, the lord always said that you were sick and couldn't get out of bed. ”
"Overboard? What's going on? "Diexi is a little puzzled, doesn't Bai Shaoxi know how to be water-based?
"His Royal Highness King Rui said that it was a slippery road in the cold and accidentally fell into the water, but everyone said again that King Rui hated the prime minister, and you were the child of the prime minister and the fourth lady, so he deliberately pushed you into the water, but he was found to find a set of excuses." Jingqi's words were conclusive, as if he had already made an assertion.
Diexi thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "I'm hungry, let's make a bowl of noodles for me." ”
Jingqi pouted, and the second monk was confused, and went to the kitchen suspiciously.
Diexi sat back then. She didn't believe that the mysterious Feng Xiuyun would be so reckless, he knew about it early in the previous life, but he used her for three years to kill himself as a light guard. He made the best trick to kill people with a knife, how could he be stupid enough to do it himself.
Cheng had already had a marriage contract with King Rui's biological mother for a long time, but he regretted his marriage because he fell in love with his mother. King Rui's biological mother entered the palace and was favored and named a virtuous concubine, but she was stabbed out of the past, and finally died of depression, and he also fell from the emperor's favorite son to an abandoned son who everyone can bully.
As much as he hurts, he hates as much. His mother died in childbirth during childbirth, how could he compete with the prime minister? The father's debt is paid by the son, he knows his identity, he will definitely let himself be close, let him love, and let himself go into his prepared grave!
Feng Xiuyun, you are a fox, cunning and treacherous, cold, ruthless, with a bloody mouth that kills people, weaving a net of fascination, and rounding up your favorite prey. The scarlet mouth, bloody and bloody, exuding deadly poison, made himself willing to die without a place to be buried.
In June, Jingshi has entered the height of summer, and the scorching sun bakes the earth, making people not have the courage to step out of their homes. Diexi hid in the house, but because she had too many classes to make up, she was really tired and couldn't move her mother.
At night, the temperature dropped slightly, Diexi was still practicing, and there was a knock on the door suddenly, she and Jingqi glanced at each other, both with puzzled faces, what would happen if this was ordered.
The little guy outside the door had fine sweat on his forehead, and replied respectfully, "The master invited the little lady to the study to talk." ”
Diexi was even more strange, and a sense of foreboding surged in her heart, could it be related to King Huai's marriage proposal?
Entering the study, the prime minister was still reviewing something, and casually pointed to the seat on the side for her to sit down first. To tell the truth, although the emperor and the prime minister do not agree with each other, these two are indeed making a difference in their strength for Daning. Looking at the prime minister's stern face, Diexi couldn't help but show a smile, he is the prime minister's child, and he is really proud.
After a while, the prime minister put down his pen and looked at her, and asked softly, "Shaoxi, you have been feeling better these days." ”
"It's all good, Daddy Xie cares."
"That's good." His eyes flashed with a hint of obscurity, and he asked again, "You...... Meet the King of Wisdom again? ”
"Uh......" Diexi showed a look of panic for no reason, and shook his head again and again, "That day, I went to the restaurant with His Royal Highness King Huai to eat, and I just met King Rui by chance, and I said hello and left without speaking." ”
"But......" The prime minister paused, frowning slightly, as if it was a little difficult to judge, "but he went to ask the emperor for marriage last night, saying that he wanted to marry you." ”
"What?" Die-hee sat up almost immediately, "How is that possible! ”
"Fortunately, His Royal Highness King Huai received a tip, and he also went to ask for marriage earlier this morning, but King Rui's skills are superior, and when he asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye to the Queen Mother, he opened his mouth to the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother promised him as soon as she was happy."
He ...... I'm going to...... Married to him? Diexi only felt that his heart was about to skip out, did he start again? Started digging a big pit again and waiting for yourself to jump?
Seeing that her face was pale, the prime minister seemed to have taken a reassuring pill, slowly stood up and walked to the bookshelf, turned to her and said, "Shaoxi, you come with me." ”
He gently turned a white jade vase on the bookshelf, and the bookshelf slowly moved a gap to reveal a secret room inside.
Diexi was not shocked, in the previous life, in order to investigate whether the Prime Minister's Mansion was involved with the anti-party Shenwei, he also secretly sneaked here and opened this secret door. It was in this that there was no abnormality that he judged the innocence of the Prime Minister's Mansion.
I didn't think that this life was brought in by my father, maybe he wanted to tell him some secret. Diexi thought, no longer hesitating and quickly followed.
The prime minister didn't say anything, and when she came in, he closed the secret door, the secret room was not big, only about twenty square meters, he walked to the opposite wall by himself, took down the torch hanging on the wall, and then turned the bracket ninety degrees clockwise, and the whole wall suddenly shook together, and one end of the wall was moved open a thin crack that could only be entered by one person.
"Hurry in, it'll be closed soon." As he spoke, he took the lead in carrying a torch.
How...... How is it possible, how can there be a secret room here! I've checked it carefully! Diexi was shouting in her heart, but her feet didn't obey and almost rushed into the crack with a run.
The wall behind him slowly closed, and the new room was shrouded in thick darkness, and the only light was the torch in the prime minister's hand. Diexi only felt that her body was damp and cold, as if she had entered a small stone room, the walls where the firelight hit were rough stone walls, and the roof of the room was not high, only about two meters, and she felt very oppressive.
The important thing is that when you enter the stone chamber, you immediately smell a strong smell of fire oil.
Diexi's cold hairs stood on end, and the ominous feeling became more and more intense.
The prime minister gave her a dark look and put the torch into a depression in the wall. Immediately, a tongue of fire spread along the ditch in the wall, and a bright red color was emitted on the entire wall, and Diexi's eyes were firmly fixed on the head of the tongue of fire, watching it slowly dissolve along the four walls, and finally illuminate the entire stone chamber.
And the exported graphics were what shocked her the most.
That's the Shenwei Totem!
