Chapter 49: The Moon
Yi Zhixing returned to the palace for more than half a month, the moon and evening arrived, the palace hall was noisy, and the people who came and went were the monarchs of the small countries who were subdued before the disappearance of the Son of Heaven. Although tonight is a feast for the beginning of the festival, it is actually a feast for the small state to hand over the territorial rights. Since then, this group of weak countries that had long been subdued by the Yin State became a subsidiary city-state of the Yin State, abandoning the name of the country and completely subsuming it into the territory of the Yin State. As long as he is willing to submit, the reigning people of various countries can continue to enjoy the status of their original territories, but the original lord can now only be called the lord of the city, and the real power of his jurisdiction can be regarded as in name only, but the name still exists.
Of course, there are also some recalcitrant people in the countries, they are not willing to be just the lord of a district, and they still stubbornly adhere to their usual propositions after repeated negotiations, they are unwilling to give in, and this leader is the target that Zhilan wants to get rid of today, the monarch of Lu Guo, Lu Yu.
"This person is stubborn, and he is the backbone of the Lu State, and his courtiers dare not disobey him, once this person is eliminated, the ministers of the Lu State will also obediently ask for surrender. I don't want to use my troops to crusade against Lu for the time being, since you are alive, you must have the value of your life, I don't raise waste, you must secretly get rid of this person tonight. ”
The Son of Heaven on the high position looked at the main hall and instructed the woman beside him who poured wine for him without a smile.
Following the light of his eyes, what Zhi Lan saw was a slightly cold king with a shelf, obviously, he was forced to come tonight, compared to the laughing king who passed the cup and cup on his side, he really seemed to have a lot of backbone, and he was unwilling to bend his brow to the Yin country, even if his actions would one day lead to a war between the two countries.
The next moment, Zhi Lan instantly withdrew her eyes, and immediately put down the wine jug in her hand, and the veil fluttered in the occasional breeze.
"Monarch Yin, you can send a powerful man to assassinate this person, why bother me? Besides, are you sure that this person is lustful for women, or are you so sure that I am so attractive? It is a great honour for Your Majesty to appreciate me so much. ”
As soon as these words came out, the Son of Heaven glanced sharply at the face of the person beside him, and Zhi Lan's provocative gaze clashed fiercely with him.
"Adulterer, you had better know whether the word 'toil' applies to the relationship between you and me. You're just a prisoner of the rank who I want to keep my life for, and you don't need to beak it when I order you to do it! Also, I just don't have a girl at hand, so I reluctantly use a low-grade person like you, you don't have to think too highly of yourself! ”
"Your Majesty, why are you so quick to get angry? Anyway, there are countless pairs of eyes looking at it, and you don't want to show your feet just like that. ”
Although Zhi Lan's face is now covered by a veil, Yi Zhixing can still see the ridicule behind his veil, Zhi Lan's tone is always so annoying, and his phoenix eyes are always unknowable cunning, somehow, Yi Zhixing secretly feels that his mask will one day be completely destroyed by the person in front of him.
The Son of Heaven drank all the wine on the table, and then put the empty wine cup under Zhilan's eyes, and motioned for her to continue pouring the wine and waiting.
Zhi Lan smiled instead of being angry, and then poured the wine in his hand into the wine cup of the Son of Heaven.
"Your Majesty, let the concubines serve you."
When the wine was only halfway through, he heard a soft sound and looked up, and it turned out to be Concubine Wen. But at this time, she was wearing a lake-blue chest-length skirt, gentle and lovely, and her conversation was as elegant and timid as before. If Zhi Lan's tone is like stepping on the heart of the Son of Heaven, arousing a thousand layers of anger, then the words of the person in front of him are a light breeze, leaving only elegant comfort and fragrance.
Therefore, when he saw Concubine Wen, the lips of the Son of Heaven obviously had an upward trend.
"It's okay, there is Concubine Lao Wen, these minions in the palace are all clumsy now, and I am really bored. Go down first, and then I will call you to serve when I need it, and remember, keep your duty, for the kings of all the nations are present today, and you need to serve your master properly, and if something goes wrong, I will not let you go. ”
Yi Zhixing said coldly, both in and out of his words, he was dissatisfied with Zhilan's remnants and warned her about her future behavior, because this woman had repeatedly done things that were unexpected, this was the first formal alliance between the Son of Heaven and her, and it was also the last test of her attitude.
The moment Zhi Lan got up, it was the moment when the cold warning of the Son of Heaven quietly reached her ears.
"Your life is given by me, and your life is precious, whether you want it or not is entirely up to your own will. But I have to warn you that you better not try to disobey my orders, or you'll pay more than just your life, you see? ”
Zhilan owes herself, and her eyes are stained with provocation.
"The little girl didn't understand."
The phoenix's eyes were narrow, Ying Ying smiled, and Zhi Lan left immediately.
Concubine Wen always stared at this person's figure, and somehow, she always felt that this woman's voice and figure seemed to be slightly familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but when she withdrew her eyes, she saw that the face of the Son of Heaven was dyed with iron blue.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly, is there any discomfort in your body? The concubine should hurry up and get you a doctor. ”
Mo Xiru asked anxiously, all the doubts about the masked palace maid were now foggy because of the Son of Heaven's face, but his careful gaze made Yi Zhixing forcibly calm down.
"It's okay, I'm fine, maybe it's because the wine is too strong, Concubine Wen doesn't need to worry too much."
At this time, Mo Xiru no longer has the ability to give the Son of Heaven a refreshment, and even makes the Son of Heaven feel a little depressed and impatient inexplicably. Sure enough, women still have to be compared with Zhilan, if Zhilan is on the side, then all the women in the world will be able to enter the eyes of Yi Zhixing.
Zhi Lan left with inexplicable pleasure, when she left, she was indeed aware of the face of the Son of Heaven, and she could feel the burning gaze cast by him, and she had to admit that she still had a slight chill for her unscrupulous behavior, but if she could see the angry face of the Son of Heaven, Zhi Lan seemed to have nothing to scruple about, and the desire to see the angry face of the Son of Heaven was absolutely above all the horror.
The woman walked briskly, and in the meantime, after the king's seat.
"Xun Guojun, why don't you listen to persuasion? If you don't drink these ten wines today, we will make you look good." ”
"Yes! Drink it up! How can a king not drink wine! If you don't drink it, you won't give us face! If you don't give us face, how can you stand in our ranks? ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I don't drink a drop of wine, as I do on weekdays, and I hope you don't have to embarrass people, and from tonight onwards we will no longer be kings......"
The monarch of Xun Guo looked embarrassed, under the deliberate bad intentions of the kings around him, he still insisted on the habits he had cultivated for a long time, but after hearing his words, others were even more arrogant, and even pushed him, the new monarch of Xun Guo was already weak, and he couldn't compete with their group of reckless people.
"Tell you to drink, you drink! Why, that's it! ”
As he spoke, they forcibly poured the wine in their hands into the mouth and nose of the Lord of Xun, and the wine was spilled, and the Lord of Xun was so embarrassed that he coughed violently on the side.
"Look at his virtue! How can it be so useless! Hahaha! Useless fools! ”
Obviously, not only is the small territory of Xun State causing the unscrupulous rest of the surrounding countries, but also Yi Li has openly insulted the king of Xun State, so that now everyone dares to step on it.
Big countries bully small countries, and small countries bully weak countries, the way of this world is to invade and abuse, and it is quite unreasonable.
Zhi Lan, who witnessed all this, was unhappy, for her, the humiliation of the king of her own country was undoubtedly equivalent to the entire Xun country being trampled on the soles of her feet by others, as a citizen of Xun country, she couldn't see the fate of her family and country, but when she saw her stop immediately, her cold eyes immediately attacked the kings on the side.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the palace of the Yin Kingdom, and I hope that the kings will not pick quarrels and provoke trouble, if you annoy the new monarch above, you are afraid that ten countries will not be enough to compensate."
Zhi Lan didn't want to wade into this muddy water, but the Dan heart was still angry after seeing the humiliation of the king of her country.
As soon as the words fell, this group of bullying monarchs stopped pouring their hands on wine, and immediately turned back and looked up and down at this unexpected Mo celebrity.
"Which thing are you! I have been taught a lesson here! ”
"You should know why you came here tonight, and now you are the only one who dares to call yourself me in the palace of the Yin Kingdom, right? Since you are so bloody, you are not as good as the monarch of Yin Guojun shouting in person, and then you dare to be as arrogant as the monarch of Xun Guojun who is suitable for bullying Xun, I will bow down to you. ”
Zhi Lan did not salute this person, but stood firmly in place, her eyes were cold, neither arrogant nor humble. And her posture is quite like a big palace maid with a lot of position in the palace, and now this king has indeed been in a hurry for a moment.
"You...... Who the hell are you! No matter how I say it, I am also a guest invited by the monarch of Yin State, you ...... How dare you scare me! Aren't you afraid that I will inform you of the Son of Heaven, and when the time comes, you will not be able to eat and go around! ”
"Oh? In this case, then you can try it and see who is the one who can't eat and walk around in the end, except for the Son of Heaven in this palace, you dare to dictate to me. ”
Zhi Lan sneered and raised her eyebrows, her eyes were filled with deep ridicule, and her mighty and unyielding appearance really had the demeanor of a high-ranking person. Anyway, she is used to being upside down in this palace, and now it seems that it has become easy to be handy.
"Your Majesty, look! Isn't that the maid who just served you? How ...... she?"
At this time, seeing Zhi Lan standing in front of the monarch's seat, Concubine Wen was quite surprised, and hurriedly called the Son of Heaven beside her to visit.
Noticing Zhi Lan's existence, Yi Zhixing's eyebrows were inexplicably stained with three points of resentment, he thought that Zhi Lan was completing the order he had previously given to get rid of the Lu Guojun, but Zhi Lan did not reach the Lu Guojun seat at all, and even left the seat soon after. Yi Zhixing didn't know what his behavior was, and he didn't know that Zhi Lan had been using his majesty and fabricated body to be in front of the guests he had invited.
In the end, before Zhi Lan left the king's seat with the same cold steps as before, it was obvious that the group of monarchs who would only bully the weak would not dare to appeal to the king for their rude sins when they saw Zhi Lan's posture, what if this woman really had a prominent position in the Yin Palace? What if she is the palace maid most valued by the Son of Heaven? In case she has a personal affair with His Majesty...... Aren't they bored with their group of foreign guests? It's a pity that this group of monarchs who never dare to offend the powerful don't know that Zhi Lan is nothing at all, she is not even a person in this palace, so that some time ago she was still a criminal prisoner wanted by Yin Jun.
However, after that, they would never dare to provoke trouble against the lord of the Xun country.
