Chapter 18: Breaking into the Secret Room
Everyone followed the prestige and gathered on Emperor Jiushu again.
The envoy looked at it, and he remembered that it was this person who grabbed the sleeve of the dancing girl just now. I didn't pay attention to it just now, but now, he saw the pair of purple eyes clearly.
Looking at the entire Yeyang Kingdom, there is only one person with a pair of gorgeous purple eyes.
That is the famous Nine Princes of Yeyang Kingdom!
The most I have heard of the Nine Princes is to conquer the Four Kingdoms, and in his eyes he is only a martial artist, so naturally he will not put it in his eyes.
"What are the Nine Princes laughing at?"
"Children dare to show off their tricks, they don't know what they can do!" Di Jiushu glanced at his eyes, the breeze blew his hair, and in the darkness, the purple gem on his forehead was dimly shining.
"What did you say?!" The envoy's face suddenly fell.
The queen couldn't help but worry, "Nine Princes, are you sure to solve this problem?" ”
Emperor Jiushu poured a glass of wine unhurriedly, and with a push of his palm, the glass of wine flew towards the envoy.
The envoy is also a person with an inner bottom, and after reacting, he hurriedly went to pick it up, and he couldn't bear the strength of catching it with one hand, so he could only protect the wine glass with two hands, and as a result, he spilled some of it on his sleeve in embarrassment.
"Lord Wang, what is this for!" The envoy felt humiliated and was a little annoyed.
"Don't you want the answer, this king gives you the answer!" Emperor Jiu stared at him coldly.
The cold momentum made the envoy winch.
The courtiers present were even more puzzled when they heard this, and stared curiously at a glass of wine in the envoy's hand...... The answer?
The envoy wasn't happy either, funny, that's the answer?! "Huh! Is the Ninth Prince fooling him as a three-year-old child? ”
"This king has already given you the answer, but you don't look at it, and in the end you still say that this king fooled you, and now it seems that this king has a higher IQ than you for three-year-old children!" Di Jiushu leaned back on the soft chair, one hand resting loosely on the edge of the armrest.
The messenger took the glass of wine in his hand and looked down.
The silver cup is smooth, the wine is fragrant, and the bright moon is sinking under the wine impartially.
The messenger was amazed! Some incredulous: "This ...... This...... How can it be...... How is this ......?"
His eyes widened in panic and he began to mutter to himself.
Everyone present, except for Emperor Jiushu and the parties, was stunned! Haven't figured it out yet!
"This king has borrowed the moon for the messenger, and how to bring it back is the messenger's business."
"That's it, it's like this! Ha ha...... This is the problem that stumped everyone in our country, but it was easily broken by the Nine Princes! Master Borneo's life of cultivation is not as good as the Nine Princes' short twenty years! Hahahaha......" The envoy laughed sadly and knelt on the ground, "Yeyangguo is really talented, and he has no eyes and beads, and he dares to get an axe, please forgive the queen!" ”
"The messenger is also bent on solving, and there are extenuating circumstances, and you are not guilty." The queen raised her hand and asked instead, "This palace wants to do many ministers who are curious about how the prince borrowed the moon, so the ninth prince might as well demonstrate it for those present." ”
"Brother Nine Kings uses a glass of water to sink the moon, this is a fable taught by the master." Children are children after all, and they say whatever comes to mind.
After the meeting, the ministers lowered their heads shamelessly: "......"
"Queen, there is one of the most gorgeous gemstones in the world, which can change different colors at different temperatures, and the craftsmen have taken advantage of this property to carve it into a bracelet that can be worn so that the body can be distinguished according to different colors. Bearing the king's holy will, I am here to dedicate it to the queen. ”
The messenger opened the treasure box, and the bracelet was indeed beautifully made.
The palace maid presented the things, and as soon as the queen held it in her hand, the table suddenly turned warm yellow, and the temperature was yellow, which was wonderful and praised!
"Sure enough, it's a good piece of jade!" The queen praised again and again, and almost immediately liked the bracelet.
Happy, he rewarded the envoy with a jade Ruyi that he had collected for many years. Ruyi is a nobleman in jade, not to mention blood! A jade Ruyi for such a bracelet can be regarded as bartering!
When the messenger got something, his face was brightened, and after thanking him, he strode back to his seat.
Of course, the offering of treasure will inevitably add a little more luster to their country, and occasionally there will be one or two tricky questions, but the prince and the courtiers are not vegetarians, and they have answered each other!
After a while, the palace ladies and fathers-in-law around the queen were full of all kinds of treasures in their hands.
"After watching the performance for so long, everyone is tired, the palace has prepared exquisite food in the West Flower Palace, and please move to the West Flower Palace."
"Congratulations to the queen mother, Chitose Chitose Chitose!"
The queen gave up and left.
"Why is the mother sighing?" The father-in-law was a little puzzled, "This year's backyard will be very smooth, and the envoys have also presented rare treasures, is there anything else that Niangniang can't rest assured?" ”
"It's just because there are too many rare treasures, but it makes this palace a little overwhelmed." The queen smiled and said as she walked.
"The queen mother doesn't have a double phoenix cup, it's better to take it out later, let those people see it!" Emperor Changxin didn't know when he followed, and he was caught off guard.
"I've seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!" The father-in-law of the first palace saluted in fear.
Only then did the queen remember, and smiled gracefully, "It's still the emperor's good memory!" ”
"It is the duty of the sons to share the burden for the queen mother." Emperor Changxin was sad for a while, "I don't know when my father appointed Rong Xun to me as the crown princess." As soon as he thought of the woman who had just rubbed him being caught in his hands, Emperor Changxin couldn't help but burn with anger!
"Don't worry, the emperor is coming."
"Really?"
"When did the Queen Mother lie to you?"
"Thank you, Queen Mother!"
“……”
West Flower Palace.
As soon as the queen took her seat, the emperor rushed over, which was somewhat unexpected.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"
Yeyang Guojun went straight to the queen, helped her up, and said gratefully: "The matter of the backyard party just now, the queen has worked hard." ”
"It is the concubine's job to share the burden for the emperor." The queen shook her head gently.
The emperor smiled, sat on the throne, and then waved down: "Get up without courtesy!" ”
"Emperor Xie!"
"Mother." The maid who had been ordered to fetch things rushed back.
The queen nodded, nodded to the emperor, and the emperor shook her hand.
"The treasures you offer today are all eye-opening, and the good things are to be shared by everyone. The palace suddenly thought that the harem of the palace has always treasured a double phoenix cup, thanks to everyone's dislike, the palace also took it out to offer a ugly look. ”
Double Phoenix Cup? The emperor sighed after coming back to his senses, and whispered in the queen's ear, "The queen has taken out all her belongings." ”
"This wine glass looks gorgeous, with two phoenixes coiled, and the workmanship is indeed fine, but it is a treasure if you insist on it...... Please forgive me for being clumsy. The envoy raised all the envoys' doubts at once.
The queen was not in a hurry, "This wine glass does not look like much of a point on the outside, but the beauty lies in it!" As long as the wine is poured into it, you can see the double phoenix sinking to the bottom, and the other phoenix flying south, vivid, as if the double phoenix swimming under the water glass. ”
"Is it really so amazing?!" The messenger was a little eager to try!
The queen handed the wine glass to her father-in-law and nodded.
My father-in-law immediately went down with a wine glass to demonstrate to those people!
After the wine glass was filled with wine, it was really as the queen said, the two phoenixes and the phoenix, the magic axe, which was amazing!
………………
"Keng......" Ji Yun dodged the last arrow with a smile, covered his arm, and retreated.
It was a safe journey, but when she relaxed her vigilance, she didn't expect that there would be such a hidden place!
Tonight, I went around and around here for several hours, but I didn't even see the shadow of the golden cicada.
Could it be that Emperor Jiushu was not placed in the secret room at all?
Ji Yunxiao thought about it carefully, and felt more and more that according to Emperor Jiushu's character, the more valuable things are, the more likely they are to carry them closely!
Damn, the last time she had such a good opportunity, she didn't even think of a body search check!
has a headache, she has just experienced a big war, and her physical strength is no longer able to support it.
went back like this, and she was a little unwilling.
finally waited for this opportunity, but in vain, she was a little unconvinced!
Ji Yun smiled unwillingly, and wanted to inquire more in the secret room. As soon as she stepped into one of the innermost chambers, her eyes were immediately drawn to the huge bead on the wall.
Such a big night pearl, even in the jade-producing Cangyun Kingdom Palace, she had never seen it, she didn't expect that a small secret room in the Nine Kings' Mansion would be arranged with such a luxurious thing for lighting!
It seems that this secret room is not ordinary!
With keen observation, Ji Yunxiao looked around left and right a few times, and finally found that something was wrong with the beads.
Holding the pearl in her hand, she tried to move left and right, but she didn't expect to really find a mystery for her, this bead turned out to be a living thing!
Following the internal texture, the palm of the hand quickly rotated a few times, only to hear the sound of "rubbing", and there was an extra dark grid above the wall!
Inside the dark compartment lay a vermilion lacquered wooden box.
Ji Yunxiao cautiously tested the area around the wooden box, and only after making sure that there was no mechanism did he pick it up and open it.
Golden Cicada!
Ji Yun smiled and was happy, it was finally not in vain!
Just as she was rejoicing, a cloud of black gas suddenly appeared at the base of the wooden box. Suddenly, a black spider the size of a baby's palm crawled out and tightly occupied the golden cicada in its eight claws!
The eyes the size of charcoal grains stared at Ji Yun in a daze, and when Ji Yun laughed, poisonous silk squirted out of the spider's mouth like arrow water!
Ji Yunxiao was caught off guard, the poisonous silk was spraying on her hand and arm holding the wooden box, and as soon as it touched the skin, it melted into the skin like ice and snow!
Ji Yunxiao's arm was numb, as if she couldn't hold the weight of the wooden box, and the box slipped straight out of her hand.
