After the pianist left, Huang Xue continued to play with the crystal clear jade pipa there. Suddenly, she found that there was a white flaw in the core of the pipa's body. This flaw is very small, it should be the size of a soybean, and it is really difficult to find if you don't look closely.

With this great discovery, Huang Xue suddenly became more interested, so she put the pipa in front of her eyes, carefully trying to see the shape of the flaw.

As she stared at the blemish, she felt the white thing seem to start squirming, and then, as if a suction was creating to draw her mind in.

Huang Xue was startled, and hurriedly distanced herself from the pipa, and the attraction disappeared suddenly, and the feeling just now was like an illusion. She felt strange in her heart, and leaned her face up again, and suddenly, a calm voice sounded in her head: "Who is so annoying, disturbing the rest of the slave family." ”

Huang Xue was taken aback, this voice was too familiar to her, who else could it be if it wasn't Hu Yumei. She said a little nervously: "Hu Yumei, you're not dead yet?"

The voice sounded again: "Who is Hu Yumei? Who are you?"

Huang Xue was stunned when she heard this, and then said: "I am Huang Xue, also known as Su Daji." According to her thoughts, if Hu Yumei heard the name Su Daji, she was afraid that her emotions would fluctuate a little, so she listened carefully to that voice.

"Huang Xue?Su Daji?Why do you have two names?Is Hu Yumei also your name?" The voice was still so calm, without the slightest fluctuation.

Huang Xue also began to be a little puzzled at this time, so she said, "What's your name?" Are you Hu Yumei?"

The voice replied, "My name? Strange, why can't I remember it? Hu Yumei's name is pretty good, is it my name?"

Huang Xue's heart moved, could it be that she was burned by the fire released by the cannon that day, and Hu Yumei lost her memory and hid in the jade pipa?

In fact, her guess, although she missed, was not far off. The jade pipa was originally an ancient artifact, and it has long had spirituality, that is, the often said instrument spirit, which absorbed a lot of yin qi in Xuanyuan's tomb, including the seven emotions and six desires mixed in the yin qi, and became Hu Yumei.

was burned by the true fire of samadhi that day, and what was refined was only the seven emotions and six desires in it, so Hu Yumei disappeared. But Hu Yumei disappeared, but the purest instrument spirit of the pipa did not disappear. The spirit of such an ancient magic weapon, let alone the small flame of Huang Xue's samadhi true fire, is that Taishang Laojun put it in the gossip furnace to refine, and it will take at least seven hundred and forty-nine days. Now talking to Huang Xue is the machine spirit she accidentally awakened.

After the conversation, Huang Xue was even more convinced of her guess. The consciousness in this lute, with no memory and no wisdom, is basically harmless to itself. For the sake of convenience, she named the machine spirit Yu'er.

She asked Yu'er how to renew the strings of the jade lute, but Yu'er didn't know, but said that if there were suitable strings nearby, she would be able to feel it.

In the next few days, with Yu'er here, Huang Xue was no longer bored, and she held the jade pipa day and night.

After a few days of communication, there is a big gain, with the help of Yu'er, she can incorporate the pipa into her divine sense, and she can also take it out at any time. She had seen Hu Yumei use this trick, and every time she flipped her hands, the pipa would appear in her arms. However, at this time, the string of the pipa was broken, and it was useless to take it out, of course, if she was really willing to use the pipa as a hammer, it would be a very convenient tool.

In the past few days, the king of Shang has come to see her a few times, but she is not happy. She felt that King Shang had a lot of things on her mind recently, but when she asked a few questions, King Shang refused to tell her, and she felt that King Shang was no longer as close to her as before.

In mid-May, news came from the palace that Xibo Hou Jichang entered Beijing to congratulate the Shang King on his birthday, and made a special trip to bring some Xiqi specialties as gifts for Huang Xue.

Huang Xue was quite happy about this, aside from Xibohou's status in the god list, just saying that he saved the life of the Su family was enough to make her grateful. So, she made a special trip to ask the king of Shang to have a banquet for Xibohou in the palace and express her gratitude to Xibohou in person.

The king of Shang was also clear about the events of the day, and naturally there was no reason to refuse, so he readily agreed.

At the banquet, the king of Shang was not in high spirits, said a few polite words, drank a few glasses of water and wine, and went back to the study.

This morning, he had received news that Nanbohou E Chongyu would arrive at Chaoge tomorrow, and Dongbohou Jiang Huanchu still had six days to go. The more victory is in sight, the more cautious it is to avoid showing your feet and falling short. There are still some arrangements to be made in the merchant village, so as not to be suspicious when Dong Bohou passes by, he will not see the prime minister's business. As for Beibohou Chonghou Hu, that kind of dispensable character, who cares? Love doesn't come.

As soon as the Shang King left, Huang Xue and Ji Chang seemed much more natural, and Huang Xue thanked him, but also asked about Ji Kao and Ji Fa's recent situation. Ji Chang also told her some strange things about Xiqi, and the two chatted happily.

The banquet was about to disperse, Ji Chang looked at the waiter Gong E on the side and didn't pay attention, and suddenly said: "Concubine Su, when the old minister came to leave, he calculated that it was a little difficult to return to Xiqi this time, if it was necessary, please ask Niang Niang to help you with one or two." ”

Huang Xue was shocked when she heard this, and suddenly remembered that in the list of gods, Ji Chang had indeed been imprisoned in Chaoge for a long time, and he had caused Bo Yi to die. However, she also remembered that Ji Chang would be detained, and she was framed by traitors and Daji, and now it was Zigan who was in charge of the court, so where did the traitors come from? She was Daji, how could she frame Ji Chang?

Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Uncle Ji don't worry, there should be no twists and turns in this trip, if Uncle Ji is in danger, my niece will definitely help." ”

Ji Chang nodded when he heard this, and said, "I just hope that the old minister's calculation is wrong." ”

After saying this, the two talked a few more words, and the banquet dispersed.

On the second day, Nanbohou E Chongyu arrived at Chaoge and met the king of Shang, who was overjoyed, praised fiercely, and gave a lot of fine wine brocade.

On the fourth day, Beibohou Chonghou Hu arrived at Chaoge and met with the king of Shang, who took the time to meet and praised a few words.

On the fifth day, Jiang Huanchu, the marquis of Dongbo, arrived at Shangzhuang, but learned that the old prime minister Shang Rong had died of illness. He didn't suspect it, the old man in his eighties, he was fighting for his life, and he earned it by living one more day, and it was normal if he didn't fight for a day. He also specially put two pillars of incense in front of Shang Rong's spirit, but at the same time, he was also relieved in his heart, whether he died, there were some secrets, and it was safest to take them below.

On the sixth day, Jiang Huanchu, the marquis of Dongbo, finally arrived at Chaoge and met with the king of Shang, who did not receive him on the grounds that the dragon was not in good health. That night, the ministers of Jiang Jia's family went to the post house where Dong Bohou lived to pay a visit, and it took more than two hours before he came out.

Early the next morning, Dongbohou sent a post to visit Prime Minister Zigan, Wucheng Wang Huang Feihu, Chengping Wang Wei Ziyan, Anping Wang Wei Ziqi, and Yaxiang Jizi, but they were not seen, and Jiang Huan Chu already felt that something was wrong in his heart.

In the afternoon of the next day, Dong Bohou set up a banquet to invite doctors Fei Zhong and You Hun, and after the banquet, Jiang Wenye personally sent the two doctors back to his house and offered 200,000 silver coins to each person.

In the ninth year of Emperor Xin, on the third day of the sixth month, it is advisable to go to office, go to Liang, open the market, and Anxiang, and it is not suitable to sacrifice, break ground, and migrate. This day is the thirtieth birthday of the son of the current great businessman.

In the afternoon of the same day, the prince of Shang was feasted in the Xianqing Palace, and all the ministers of the court and the four princes of the world attended the birthday celebration.

At the end of the day, the prince of Shang was brought by Huang Guifei, the mother of the West Palace, and Concubine Su of the Xinqing Palace, and appeared at the banquet on time to accept the congratulations of the ministers.

Dong Bohou saw that his daughter Queen Jiang did not appear by the side of King Shang, and the uneasiness in his heart became even stronger, and he hurriedly glanced at the doctor Jiang Jia on the side. Seeing this, Jiang Jia hurriedly cleared his throat, stepped forward and said loudly: "Minister Jiang Jia, I wish the king Shenwei will always be there, and his longevity will be in harmony." I wish you all the best of luck and good health. The king, I don't know where the queen is, why don't you come out and let the ministers congratulate you?"

As soon as he said this, the audience instantly fell silent, a few days ago, the king and queen of Shang had some incidents, and the ministers all knew about it. But the queen and the king of Shang have been together for more than ten years, and it will not be a big deal, and it is normal for the husband and wife to quarrel. But now that the king of Shang has a big birthday, the queen and the queen have not been able to attend, and this matter is not simple. Now that someone had asked, everyone looked at the king of Shang and waited for his answer.

King Shang smiled faintly and said, "In my palace, there is no queen anymore, how can I come out and congratulate you?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and Jiang Jia hurriedly said, "King, what about Queen Jiang?"

King Shang frowned lightly and said, "I didn't want to say such a disappointing thing at the beginning, since you are in a hurry to know, then it's okay, while everyone hasn't drunk yet, Jiao Fang, announce the decree!"

Hearing this, the chief manager Jiao Fang took a step forward, took out a scroll of holy decree from his arms, slowly opened it, and read it out: "The edict of the Emperor of Heaven said: Today, the queen Jiang will lead the assassin into the palace, assassinate the holy driver, and commit the heinous crime. Thinking that he has been driving for many years, he went to the position of the East Palace and gave him a poisonous beast without punishment. The crown prince Yin Jiao, the second prince Yin Hong, took away the prince's position and was demoted to the common people. Chin this. ”

At the holy decree, the ministers all gasped and stood on the spot, unthinkably that a king would dare to do something rebellious, which was really appalling. After being stunned for a moment, everyone looked at Jiang Huanchu, the Eastern Bohou on the side, he was the queen's father, and he didn't know if he knew about it.

When Dongbohou Jiang Huan Chu heard this, his mind was foggy for a while, and his body took two steps back, but fortunately, Jiang Wenye on the side held it and did not fall to the ground.
