Chapter 163: The Queen Mother's Ambition
"What do you mean?" The witch was slightly stunned, then looked at Yun Yuexi viciously and said, "You have long suspected me?" β
"I'm the old man's proud protΓ©gΓ©, if I can't even tell the taste of Gu, I'm afraid that if I don't need to speak, the master will also expel me from the master's door." Yun Yuexi smiled slightly, and slowly walked a few steps before saying: "The reason why I went and returned was because I smelled Gu here, although I really don't understand why Concubine Xue sent me here, but what you said just now can be regarded as answering my questions, since Concubine Xue wants you to raise me into a Gu, then this hatred must be counted." β
"Do you think that if you control these Gu people, I won't be able to deal with you?" Although the witch was a little stunned at first, she quickly reacted and said with a cold snort: "Yun Yuexi, even if you are smart, you must understand that Jiang is still old and spicy, and you are still far behind!" β
As soon as the words fell, the witch pulled out a bamboo flute and whimpered.
The six secret guards who had just appeared, plus the red jade, the red kite, and the mulberry ghost, were all guarding Yun Yuexi's side, cautiously staring at the movements around them.
Soon, there was a sound around him, it was obvious that there were a lot of things crawling over, Hongyu, who had always hated reptiles the most, only felt that her hairs stood up, but Yun Yuexi said with a smile: "You don't have to be so nervous, don't you think your young lady can't protect you?" β
"Miss, let's go now!" When Hongyu saw that the ground was crawling with rats, she only felt that her scalp was about to explode, and said in a trembling voice: "The slave really hates these things the most!" β
"You say, if a fire burns down here, will the Queen Mother be angry?" Yun Yuexi didn't seem to see those things, looked around at the cold palace, thought about it and said, "It's just that it doesn't seem to be the time to set fire yet!" β
"Miss, hurry up and think of a way, the slave really can't stand it!" Ruby simply closed her eyes as she watched the rats crawl towards them.
"Hehe, these little treasures will treat you well." The witch laughed as she looked at the group of people on the other side as if they were facing a great enemy, and the sound sounded as ugly as a sawn stick.
"Ignorance." Yun Yuexi snorted coldly, and took out something similar to a whistle from her sleeve, but with a light blow, those mice suddenly stopped motionless.
"You ......" The witch was slapped in the face now, and naturally refused to give up, but no matter how she played the bamboo flute, the rats still stood there motionless as if they hadn't heard.
Seeing this scene, Hongyu and Red Kite glanced at each other, and suddenly drew their swords at the same time and stabbed at the witch, and the Sang Ghost and the other secret guards naturally spared no effort to rush forward, the witch was just disguised as an old man with a broken arm, and now her life is worried, where can she take care of anything else, she can only deal with it with all her might, and she didn't forget to shout: "Sang Ghost, you are still a person from the rivers and lakes, and you are actually bullying more and less!" β
"You don't talk nonsense, our young lady said, deal with your own enemies, and fools will fight you fairly." Hongyu's anger at the scare of those rats all came out, and her sword moves were extremely powerful, not caring if she would be hurt or not.
At this moment, Hongyu only knew in her heart that she must cut down this dead old woman, and even used mice to scare her!
Just when there was a fight in the cold palace, the hall was already full of people, and everyone had already arrived, and Mi Shi appeared with the Chang Emperor Ji, but some people who were not used to seeing Li in the past deliberately said some sour words to stimulate Li, which made Li Li also grit his teeth, but he had no choice but to endure it.
The emperor and the queen naturally arrived at the main hall together, and the queen mother also appeared after a while, but the emperor's mood didn't seem to be particularly good, so he just said some high-sounding blessings and announced the start of the banquet.
Soon, a group of dancing girls walked to the center of the hall, and began to dance with the music, everyone was a little restrained at first, but seeing that the queen and the four concubines were talking and laughing, and several princes were also talking and laughing, they slowly relaxed, and soon the whole hall was a peaceful atmosphere.
"Why didn't you see the third child?" The Queen Mother turned her head to look at the emperor and said with some displeasure: "Didn't you say that the third child has returned to Beijing?" β
"I just sent someone to say that it was already on the way, but I haven't arrived yet." The emperor drank a glass of wine, then played with the wine glass, and said to the queen: "Today is the New Year's Palace Banquet, you should pay attention to help the prince choose a concubine." β
"The concubine understands." In front of everyone, even if the relationship between the emperor and the queen is incompatible, it will play the illusion of harmony between husband and wife, so the queen smiled and said: "Seeing these people than the young ladies of the flowery family, this palace feels a lot older, and I have always heard that the daughter of the royal historian is extraordinary, I don't know if this palace is fortunate enough to listen to it?" β
"The queen is serious! Weichen, let the little girl go down and prepare! "Being named, Wang Yushi can't say that the queen, in order to attract the person you fancied, you actually let my daughter be a stepping stone, it's too much!
All he can do is let his daughter perform the piano!
And there can be no complaints!
With the lead of Wang Yushi's daughter, many girls from the family were naturally not to be outdone, and they invited themselves to perform their talents, which was not lively for a while.
And those court wives are naturally secretly paying attention, but they just think that these girls can't always be looked at by the royal family, and with so many good attention, maybe they can become their daughters-in-law?
"Mrs. Yun." When a woman from a family finished performing, the emperor suddenly opened his mouth.
"Wechen is here!" Yun Yi didn't dare to drink more, so when he heard the emperor call his name, he hurriedly got up and saluted.
"Why didn't Yun Yuexi come?" The emperor swept many times, but never found that Yun Yuexi appeared, the banquet was already halfway through, if someone came, how could it not appear?
"If you go back to the emperor, yesterday the son and daughter were summoned into the palace by the eldest emperor, so they didn't come to the palace with Weichen." Yun Yi realized that Yun Yuexi did not appear, and couldn't help but glance at Mi, but Mi Shi also looked confused, as if he didn't know why Yun Yuexi did not appear.
"The people in the old palace said that the Queen Mother and Concubine Xue wanted to see Yun Yuexi, so they took them away." The Elder Emperor Ji now knows the truth about Brother Yun'er's death, so his face is cold, and the words he says are also cold, without a trace of warmth.
If she had left Brother Yun in affection, but in the days when she raised him, Brother Yun brought her a lot of laughter, and it was also the best years of her life, but she didn't expect that it was the Queen Mother who had been comforting her at the beginning who ruined all this!
"When the chief ceremonial secretary came to the mourning palace, Yun Yuexi left." The Queen Mother glanced at Concubine Xue and said, "Concubine Xue, have you ever seen Yun Yuexi?" β
"Back to Niangniang, the concubine and Miss Yun sat in the imperial garden for a while, and then separated." Concubine Xue replied softly: "The concubine thought that Miss Yun must have gone back to the palace of the eldest emperor immediately, who knew that Miss Yun didn't go back?" β
"Concubine Xue is really good Yaxing, this day is so cold that this king's Xiaoxi'er is blowing cold wind in the pavilion in the imperial garden?"
To say that in this palace, who dares to call himself the king in front of these concubines, I am afraid that except for Ouyang Haoxuan, he will not think about it.
At this moment, Ouyang Haoxuan sat lazily in front of his position, staring straight at Concubine Xue with a pair of beautiful eyes and said: "Concubine Xue, if there is anything wrong with this king's Xiaoxi'er, this king will definitely slash Concubine Xue's mother." β
"Your Majesty!" Concubine Xue was shocked by Ouyang Haoxuan's serious tone, and looked at the emperor with a pale face, as if she was really wronged.
"Old Seven!" The emperor didn't expect Ouyang Haoxuan to be so faceless, so he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows and said, "Let the guards go to find it, be sure to find the eldest lady of the Yun family!" β
The emperor spoke, and the leader of the Praetorian Guard naturally immediately went out to make arrangements, and for a while, the entire hall fell into a very strange silence.
Ouyang Shijie and his mother Xue Guifei glanced at each other, quickly got up, and said to the emperor with some excitement: "Father, the son has got a treasure, and I ask the father to allow the son to present it." β
"Oh? What treasure? Of course, the emperor couldn't be affected by such a thing, so he said with interest: "I'm ready." β
Cold Palace.
No matter how powerful the witch is, she can't withstand so many masters, so she still loses the upper hand in the end and is finally subdued.
Seeing that all those rats disappeared without a trace under Yun Yuexi's whistle, the witch snorted coldly and said: "The skills are not as good as people, the king is defeated, I have nothing to say, Yun Yuexi, you kill me!" β
"You can't die right now." Yun Yuexi narrowed her eyes, looked at the witch son coldly, and said, "Over the years, those ministers who have opposed the crown prince and the queen mother, I'm afraid that they were not only killed by the witch doctor sent by the prince?" Did you also intervene in this?
"The Queen Mother wants to control the world, do you think she can tolerate the existence of people who oppose her?" The witch's eyes have lost their brilliance, and it seems that there is hope for survival, so she knows everything.
"The Queen Mother has controlled me for so many years, just so that one day she can control everyone, and those who oppose her, even if they are honest ministers, will die."
"Among these people, is it also the emperor?" Yun Yuexi didn't expect the Queen Mother's ambition to be so big, if she wanted to control the world by herself from the beginning, why did she still keep the emperor's life?
"Yun Yuexi, you are really smart, the emperor already knows that he is not the biological son of the Queen Mother, their mother and son have already been separated, where is there any affection at all?" The witch sneered and said, "This woman has been calculating all her life, and in the end she even has to count her own son, it's really sad!" β
"Miss! You see! Yun Yuexi was still pondering the witch's words, but suddenly heard the cry of the red jade, turned her head to look over, and saw that a raging fire had already broken out in the distance, her heart jumped, and she couldn't help frowning and said, "Whose palace is that?" β
