Chapter 709: The Queen Mother's Worries

Liu Xiu immediately asked Yu to turn the pen and replied to the Son of Heaven. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info His Majesty's kindness, the minister is grateful. The title of the king of Chu was received by the ministers. As for the resignation of the three dukes, the minister did not dare to say anything, the minister only had one suggestion, if His Majesty could not make a self-determination, it could be discussed at the court meeting, and the minister believed that many talents in the three mansions and nine temples could naturally give His Majesty a proper advice. Even if the Three Dukes decided to resign, they could let the ministers know that this was their own will and not the result of other external pressures.

Liu Xiu then said that His Majesty wanted to come to Chu to pay respects in person, and the ministers were deeply grateful, but the state affairs were heavy, and His Majesty had every opportunity, so how could he leave lightly. His Majesty's intentions, the ministers and the Chu Wangfu all comprehend, just ask Your Majesty to give priority to state affairs, make more arrangements, and recover Jizhou as soon as possible, so as to fulfill the unfinished wishes of the first emperor and the first king, which is enough to comfort the heroic soul. Although the ministers are not sensitive, they are willing to inherit the will of the previous kings, do their best, and when the vassal kings and ministers gather in the king of Chu, they will consult with them thoroughly, and strive to raise more money for His Majesty for the use of the military.

Liu Xiu kicked the ball kicked back by the Son of Heaven. According to the rules, there should be no less, and I don't want any of what I shouldn't want. You don't want to give someone a voice, and I don't need that extra favor. Come to the memorial in person, or be exempt, I can't afford it.

When Xiao Tianzi received the reply, his face was red and white for a while, and he understood the true meaning that Liu Xiu had hidden under the respect. Not letting him come to the scene to pay tribute to the King of Chu represents Liu Xiu's attitude towards this matter, I am not rare, and I don't want to give you this opportunity to atone for your sins, to make it clear, I will never forgive you. This matter is not over, don't think that you will give a few more counties to Chu State. Reward more and make up for your sins.

From the calm words, Xiao Tianzi felt Liu Xiu's anger. These anger does not diminish because it is latent in the heart, on the contrary, because it is brewing, it is more scorching, and once released, it incinerates everything.

Xiao Tianzi shuddered.

……

In the Chamber of Secrets. Xiao Tianzi and Yongshi sat face to face, and Yongshi, who was hanging the curtain and closed his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, even in the dark. Her eyes are still sharp, as if they can pierce people's hearts.

"You're afraid." She whispered.

Xiao Tianzi, who had been sitting cross-legged and seemed to be very calm, trembled his eyelashes. also slowly opened his eyes, he was forced to look at by Yong's eyes, and lowered his head. "Yes, I'm scared."

"Look up." Yongshi said sternly, "Fear is also a kind of power, you can turn him into an enemy, or you can turn it into a use, it depends on whether you can defeat him." The path of cultivation is extremely difficult, and without the courage to rise to the occasion, you will not be able to achieve anything. She said word by word, "Cultivating the Tao is cultivating the mind." ”

"Thank you for your teachings." The little emperor bowed and bowed. He sat up straight again and closed his eyes. Yongshi nodded with satisfaction, and was just about to re-enter the silence, but she heard some movement, and she listened attentively for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Someone is coming, you go out and drive him away, don't let him know about my existence." ”

Xiao Tianzi opened his eyes in surprise, but he didn't dare to argue, and hurriedly got up to greet him. As soon as I walked out of the door of the secret room, I saw three petite figures standing in the doorway. The one in the front was the Empress Dowager Song, behind her were two palace maids holding the lamp, and more than a dozen officials and chamberlains stood in the distance, silent.

"Queen Mother, how are you ......?"

Empress Dowager Song slowly walked over, "Your Majesty, what are you doing here?" ”

"I ...... I want to be quiet. Xiao Tianzi quickly calmed down and raised his voice, "If there are many events today, I can't sleep at night, so come here and sit down and pray to Lao Tzu and Futu, hoping that they can bless me." ”

"Really?" Empress Dowager Song walked to the door of the secret room and was about to step in, when Xiao Tianzi was startled and hurriedly opened his arms to stop at the door. Empress Dowager Song didn't speak, just looked at him quietly. Xiao Tianzi's face was swollen and red, but he was shocked by the gaze of the Empress Dowager Song, and he put down his arm and put it aside. Empress Dowager Song walked in slowly, but she didn't scream or shout as Xiao Tianzi estimated, she walked back and forth twice in the secret room with a radius of only two steps, and walked out unhurriedly, and said lightly, "Are you meditating, or practicing?" ”

"This ...... Is there a difference? Xiao Tianzi was uneasy in his heart. He didn't know why this was the case, there was only one exit from the secret room, not even a window, although the Empress Dowager Song did not have a palm lamp, but with the help of the outside light, she could already see the inside roughly, if there was a person staying inside, the Empress Dowager Song would not see it without reason, and if she saw it, she should not be so calm, at least ask who this person is. But the Empress Dowager Song didn't ask anything, which was too weird. Xiao Tianzi was surprised in his heart, and while answering the words of the Empress Dowager Song, he secretly glanced at the secret room. This glance startled him, the secret room was empty, and there was no figure anywhere.

A chill rushed from his back to the back of his head, Xiao Tianzi opened his mouth wide, looking at the empty secret room in disbelief, there was only one thought in his mind, could it be that I had seen a ghost?

"What's wrong with you?" Empress Dowager Song pushed Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Tianzi suddenly woke up, and instinctively shook his head again and again, "I'm fine." ”

"Nothing? What's the smell of medicine? Empress Dowager Song frowned lightly and asked with concern, "Are you injured?" ”

"I didn't ......" Xiao Tianzi was just about to speak, when he suddenly remembered a thin mosquito voice in his ears, he listened for a moment, and then forced a smile and said, "Queen Mother, I am cultivating, this is the taste of the elixir used." ”

"Pills?" Empress Dowager Song shook her head puzzled, "It's the first time I've smelled such an elixir, I don't know what it looks like?" ”

Xiao Tianzi hurriedly took out the ointment prepared for Yongshi from the corner of the wall and handed it to the Empress Dowager Song. Empress Dowager Song stretched out her finger and picked a little, sniffed it at the end of her nose, and nodded. She suddenly rushed here today, because the last time she smelled this smell from the music in the hands of Xiao Tianzi, Xiao Tianzi has not said, she took it to heart, these two days carefully observed Xiao Tianzi's whereabouts, knowing that he will come here every night, at least an hour, more than two hours, sometimes he does not return all night, for fear that he will be lured by the evil way, so he suddenly came to check. Now that he saw that Xiao Tianzi was indeed meditating in the secret room and cultivating his mind, and he also saw this ointment, the doubts in his heart had been basically solved, so he was not interested, asked a few more words, and left.

After sending off the Empress Dowager Song, Xiao Tianzi still palpitated, and he hurried back to the inner room, but saw Yongshi sitting there motionless, as if he had never moved. Xiao Tianzi was surprised and delighted, "Master, just now...... What's going on? ”

"Nothing, just some stealth tricks." Yong said.

"Invisibility?" Xiao Tianzi's curiosity was aroused, and he begged, "Master, can you teach me?" ”

Yongshi raised his eyebrows, he wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he smiled again, "Of course it's okay to teach you, but you don't practice enough now, and you can't do it so well." I'll explain the truth to you first, and when you get the skills in the future, you will naturally be able to apply it proficiently. ”

Xiao Tianzi was overjoyed, and listened attentively to Yong's lecture on the truth of stealth, and after Yong's demonstration to him, he seemed to have gotten a novel toy, and he almost couldn't wait to demonstrate it. It's a pity that there is no one else here, and he can't verify whether what Yong said is true or false.

Yongshi told him the principle of stealth technique, just to stimulate his interest in cultivation, seeing that he was so curious, he looked like he couldn't wait to show off, and he was a little worried, so he sternly said to him, "Although stealth is a small technique in the Daomen, it is almost a miracle for ordinary people. Don't tell anyone about it, or it will be hard to hide my whereabouts. ”

Xiao Tianzi nodded again and again, swearing to the sky that he would not dare to leak any news. Only then did Yongshi let his heart go, and asked again, "How could the Queen Mother know about cultivation, listen to her tone, look at her appearance, and seem to have cultivated the Tao?" ”

Xiao Tianzi smiled slightly, and told the Empress Dowager Song that she was not favored by His Majesty and could only cultivate for self-entertainment. At that time, the Empress Dowager Song didn't have any thoughts, and the realm of cultivation was good, but later with him, the queen's position was stable, and she didn't spend any more time on cultivation, and her Taoism stopped at the beauty and beauty skills, and there was no new progress.

Yongshi was a little surprised, although the Empress Dowager Song's Taoist realm was only entering the door in her eyes, and it was not at all possible to enter the house, but it was rare for a person who could get such an effect just by meditating and pranayama without being instructed by a master.

"Could it be that the road is really simple and easy, but can it be sustained?" Yong muttered to himself.

Xiao Tianzi didn't hear clearly, and asked curiously, "Master, what did you say?" ”

Yongshi was thoughtful and didn't answer Xiao Tianzi, but just shook his head.

Empress Dowager Song left the Laozi Temple, returned to Changle Palace, and immediately called the imperial physician Yoshimoto.

Empress Dowager Song smeared the ointment left on her fingers on a piece of silk and said to Yoshimoto, "You smell it, can you know what kind of ointment this is, what is the use?" ”

Yoshimoto took the silk silk, sniffed it carefully for a while, and said with confidence, "Although the minister can't know all the medicinal materials, judging from the two that can be identified, this should be a medicine for external injuries." ”

"Trauma?" Empress Dowager Song frowned. The smell in the secret room is very strong, and it can be seen that there is a lot of medicine, but Xiao Tianzi moves freely, without any signs of external injury, is there anyone else, but it happened not to be in the secret room at that time? The Empress Dowager Song didn't say much, let Yoshimoto step back, and pondered for a long time. Recalling Xiao Tianzi's expression at that time, she felt still uneasy, and decided to find time to take a look again. She is not afraid of anything else, but she is afraid that Xiao Tianzi will be led into evil ways by traitors. Two days ago, when Xiao Tianzi was choosing a palace maid in the palace, she paid attention to this problem, when Emperor Xiaoling was in power, he was led astray by Yuan Hui, and often did some things that were difficult for people to accept, indulging in lust, not only ruining the body, so that she died at a young age, but also made her the queen feel lonely.

Liu He will definitely enter the palace to be the queen in the future, she doesn't want Xiao Tianzi to be seduced by those bad women like Emperor Xiaoling, go astray, and die young, and she doesn't want her daughter to be the queen mother at a young age like herself, the queen mother is not as good as the queen after all.

---Yoshimoto took the silk silk, sniffed it carefully for a while, and said with confidence, "Although the minister can't know all the medicinal materials, judging from the two that can be identified, this should be a medicine for external injuries." ”
