Chapter Ninety-Nine: A Request for Marriage
Ouyang Lefeng just wanted to say something, but suddenly found that the palace gate was violently pushed open, and then all kinds of colorful snakes swarmed in like a tide!
Ouyang Lefeng was suddenly frightened and his legs and feet weakened, he finally understood why those people outside were so frightened!
The Imperial Study.
The emperor is discussing disaster relief with Wen Taishi and several other important ministers of the court, although the casualties in various places are not particularly large, but after all, some places are still more seriously affected, and people still need to do things such as house damage.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Gonggong Liu rushed in unusually, knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, please forgive the slave for disturbing the emperor, but something happened in the East Palace!" ”
Liu Gong abides by his duties on a fair day, and rarely has such a gaffe, so the emperor didn't care about this, but just frowned and asked, "East Palace?" Isn't the prince already healed? What's going on again? ”
"Your Majesty, a lot of snakes suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the East Palace, biting a lot of people, but I don't know why, the number of snakes is still increasing." Gonggong Liu's hands hidden in his sleeves trembled slightly, God knows that when he learned that Yun Yuexi had an accident in the East Palace just now, he suddenly felt very uneasy for some reason, so he chose to risk his life to rush into the imperial study.
Because he only has one thought, Yun Yuexi must not have an accident.
In fact, Gonggong Liu also felt very strange afterwards, why did he do this, if Yun Yuexi died, then wouldn't his secret be kept?
But people always make some decisions subconsciously, and such decisions will change their lives to some extent.
Therefore, when Liu Gonggong knew why he did this in the first place, it was a long, long time later.
That's just an afterthought.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Chen Li, who had rarely appeared in front of everyone since he became the chief ceremonial director of Qin Tianjian, also broke into the imperial study with the guidance of the little eunuch, not caring how many people were around, Chen Li said in a panic: "The emperor should hurry up and go to the East Palace to have a look!" ”
The prince dared to do something to his little junior sister!
When Chen Li arranged for the little eunuch in the East Palace to send him the news earlier, Chen Li rushed to the imperial study almost without any delay, because he knew that the only one who could stop the crown prince was the emperor!
At this moment, there is only one thought left in his heart, if there is anything wrong with the little junior sister today, even if he is punished by God, he must use what he has learned all his life to make the prince's life worse than death!
"What the hell is going on?" Seeing Chen Li appear, the emperor's heart was faintly uneasy, after all, this chief ceremonial secretary is in accordance with the fortunes of the country, could it be that something happened to the prince's side?
"Wei Chen just watched the will of heaven and calculated ......" Chen Li seemed to hesitate, but finally made up his mind and said quickly: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has committed the wrath of heaven!" ”
"Heavenly Fury?" The emperor stood up suddenly, immediately slapped the case table fiercely, and then said angrily: "Gonggong Liu, drive the East Palace!" I want to see what the prince has done to anger the heavens! ”
And at this moment, the capital has also been in chaos, because the snakes that should have hibernated in the winter all crawled out of the hole for some reason, and the people were frightened by these snakes to hide in Tibet, lest they be accidentally bitten by poisonous snakes, but those poisonous snakes seemed to not see others at all, and crawled straight forward in the direction of the East Palace.
"What's going on?" Everyone was talking about this strange scene, and the sharp-eyed man suddenly pointed to the sky and shouted, "What do you see is that?" ”
Everyone looked up and found that the sky that had just cleared up today did not know when a cloud similar to the Buddha's side face appeared, which looked particularly sad under the refraction of the sun.
The people panicked, and at the moment they didn't care that the streets were crawling with snakes, and they knelt down and kowtowed, asking the Buddha for forgiveness.
However, this spectacle quickly disappeared, and then the heavy snow, which had already stopped, suddenly came again with a cold wind, and someone covered his mouth and muttered, "Damn God...... This is damnation! ”
Of course, the emperor and his entourage who were rushing to the East Palace also saw this scene, although Chen Li couldn't see it, but there was a little eunuch who described it in his ear, and hurriedly said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the top priority now is to go to the East Palace as soon as possible to see what happened!" ”
The emperor's face was gloomy, and his footsteps kept rushing to the East Palace, and when they saw that the East Palace was almost full of snakes, they only felt frightened, and the ministers who were afraid of snakes had fainted directly in fright.
After the cleaning of the Imperial Forest Army, the emperor finally stepped into the palace where the prince was.
"Yun Yuexi?" At a glance, the emperor saw Yun Yuexi sitting in the corner of the palace with a cloak, her left arm was already drenched in blood at this moment, and she seemed to feel no pain at all, and subconsciously pierced the hairpin into her arm, and the pair of blood-red eyes with blood-stained plain clothes looked particularly shocking.
"Xiaoshio!" Ruan Anjun, who was following behind the emperor, immediately exclaimed in surprise when he saw Yun Yuexi like this, and then he didn't care about anything else, and rushed directly towards Yun Yuexi.
But the poisonous snakes surrounding Yun Yuexi all entered the attack state in an instant, vomiting blood, and stared at Ruan Anjun fiercely, as if as long as Ruan Anjun took a step closer, they would attack.
The most terrifying thing is the giant python that coiled around a few times and protected Yun Yuexi in his snake body.
Wen Taishi hurriedly grabbed Ruan Anjun and said in a loud voice: "Miss Yun has actually lost her consciousness now, if you get close, you will only be bitten by those snakes!" When the time comes, Miss Yun will come to her senses, but I am afraid that she will feel guilty! ”
Wen Taishi only felt that today was really an eye-opener, he had lived for so long, and he had never seen such a huge python, not to mention that his eyes were still glaze-colored, and he didn't know what he thought of, Wen Taishi suddenly turned his head to look at Chen Li and asked, "Mr. Chen, the giant python with glass-colored eyes...... Is it the ...... recorded in ancient books?"
"Glass?" Chen Li suddenly grabbed Wen Taishi's arm excitedly, and asked again and again, "Are you sure your eyes are glaze-colored?" What color is snakeskin? ”
"Sure, the snakeskin is grayish-brown...... It seems to have some gold as well. Wen Taishi glanced at it again, and then he was sure that he was not mistaken.
On the contrary, Ruan Anjun, who was pulled by Master Wen, turned his head and said excitedly: "Don't care what color, does Mr. Chen have any way to save Xiaoxi?" ”
"The old man can't do anything," Chen Li didn't mind Ruan Anjun's attitude at all, and sighed before saying to the emperor: "Your Majesty, the giant python with glass-colored eyes will become a dragon after shedding its snake skin nine times, and this python is now faintly golden, which means that if it fades its skin again, it can fly into a dragon." ”
"Is it really a dragon?" Wen Taishi couldn't believe his eyes, and looked at the python again, only to find that the eyes of the snake looked at the world, as if he didn't take these people in his eyes at all.
"Why is Yun Yuexi here?" Although the emperor was shocked by what Chen Li said, his eyes were also stung by Yun Yuexi's appearance at this moment, and he suddenly roared angrily: "Where did the prince go?" ”
"Father! Father! Hurry up and help me! Hearing the emperor's voice, the prince's voice came out of the closet, only to hear him screaming in horror: "Father, Yun Yuexi doesn't know what to sprinkle on me, those snakes are all biting me, father, save me!" ”
The prince, who has been afraid of snakes since he was a child, was actually very scared the moment he saw snakes, but he didn't expect those snakes to crawl towards him when they came in.
At the beginning, he also called many guards to chase the snake, and he himself thought about walking to Yun Yuexi's side first, but he didn't expect Yun Yuexi to always stay awake, even if his arm had been stabbed with a hairpin, he kept staring at him.
And the python that suddenly appeared almost swallowed him in the stomach, and in the end he had no choice but to hide in the closet, and closed the door tightly, lest the snakes get in.
"Yunyue Xi!" At this moment, Ouyang Haoxuan, who was covered in blood, suddenly appeared in front of the group of snakes with a murderous sword in his hand, and when he saw that Yun Yuexi was injured like this, he suddenly threw away the sword in his hand and strode over.
"His Royal Highness King Xuan!" Everyone watched Ouyang Haoxuan walk over, and immediately opened their mouths nervously: "Be careful!" ”
"Get out!"
"Don't!"
The python sensed Ouyang Haoxuan approaching, just raised its head and opened its mouth towards Ouyang Haoxuan, Ouyang Haoxuan's fluttering "roll" and Yun Yuexi's hoarse "don't" sounded at the same time, and the python seemed to feel something, bowed its head slightly towards Ouyang Haoxuan, and then slowly released the coiled snake body, and soon climbed out of the window and disappeared without a trace.
And since the python left, all the little snakes seemed to have received some instructions, and soon disappeared completely, shocking everyone and looking at the empty ground, as if what had just happened was just a dream.
"Xiao Xi'er, I'm sorry, I'm late." Ouyang Haoxuan didn't care about everyone's eyes at all, gently hugged Yun Yuexi, who was almost completely unconscious, in his arms, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm late...... Sorry ......"
"Hao Xuan ......" Yun Yuexi's eyes slowly returned to clarity, and when she saw the familiar face in front of her, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely fainted.
"Father, the son wants to marry Yun Yuexi." Ouyang Haoxuan wrapped Yun Yuexi in his cloak, walked to the emperor with her in his arms and knelt down, and said in a deep voice: "Please fulfill my father." ”
"Let's go and treat Yun Yuexi's injuries first, and I'll talk about this later." Of course, the emperor could see that their feelings for each other were not ordinary, otherwise Yun Yuexi, who would not even be able to get close to Ruan Anjun, subconsciously protected him when he heard Ouyang Haoxuan call her, but there was always a trace of displeasure in his heart, although he didn't know why, he just subconsciously didn't want to marry the two of them.
"Father! The son wants to marry Yun Yuexi. Ouyang Haoxuan hugged Yun Yuexi tightly, and repeated firmly with a light in his eyes: "Erchen can't allow his loved ones to be remembered everywhere by people with hearts, and even hurt him so much, please fulfill my father!" ”
At this moment, several people who followed the emperor subconsciously glanced at each other, and finally Ruan Anjun spoke: "Your Majesty, although Taifu Yun is not here, the old minister is also Yuexi's maternal grandfather, and the minister implores the emperor to marry His Royal Highness King Xuan and Yuexi." ”
"Are you trying to force me?" The emperor's suppressed anger slowly soared, and a pair of eyes poked at Ouyang Haoxuan's body like sharp blades, and said coldly: "Yun Yuexi is so seriously injured, it is more important to treat the injury first." ”
