Chapter 620: The Contest between the King and the Ministers (4k words)

Feng Qingyan and the others got off the bamboo raft on the shore of Qianshan Lake, and then passed through the dark black fog forest, and smoothly entered the forest outside the Ten Thousand Demon Palace.

As he walked forward, he looked at the surrounding scene with a clear face, and he was no stranger to this place.

"Sister Yan, I didn't tell them that you were here, only Uncle Xiaoshan and a few people know about it, if you go over now, they will definitely be surprised." Nuan Zhi quietly leaned into her ear and whispered.

"Okay." Feng Qingyan pursed his lips, although he only answered one word, but the smile on his face was very gentle.

The Ten Thousand Demon Hall is a very large palace, and the woods outside it stretch for thousands of miles, and thousands of ghost people choose a place to live and build a small village, where they are self-sufficient, and they are in harmony in the past.

When Feng Qingyan came to this vicinity, they were all shocked when they saw her, and they were stunned for a long time, but after a moment, there was a burst of joy in their hearts.

"Lord of the Castle!"

The people who saw her put down their work one after another, and they all hurried towards her, with a kind smile on their faces, and they looked like an amiable and good person.

"I'll just come and see you, there's nothing else, you have to keep busy." Feng Qingyan pressed her hand towards them, at first she thought about a lot of things to say to them on the road, but after arriving, seeing their appearance, she forgot all the words in her mind for a while.

She talked to them briefly a few more words and cared about them, and then Xiao Shan and Canghu, who heard the news, rushed over, with happy smiles on their faces.

The children always like to be around the wind and clean their faces, and the playful Liuyi also took the initiative to mingle with them.

Feng Qingyan had nothing to do, so he sat with them and gave the children some specially brought candy by the way.

Although she will be fifteen next month, she is only a child who is about to reach her death, even if her mental age is already more than fifteen, but when she sees these children, she still likes them in her heart, and she is willing to let them pester her.

——

Go to the capital, idle king's mansion.

After bathing and changing clothes, Fifteen, who knew a little about medical skills, checked Ye Yunshen's condition, and when he knew that he still had internal injuries on his body, his expression was also slightly stunned.

"It's just a cold, just ask someone to grab a few pairs of medicine." Sitting on the cloud couch, Ye Yunshen stretched out his hand and gently pulled his sleeve to hide his white wrist.

"Yes." Fifteen didn't dare to ask anything, but just reported: "My subordinates will prescribe a prescription in a while." ”

The four dark guards of the Xianwang Mansion, the fourteenth, fifteenth, Shadow Wind, and Shadow Moon, were all trained by Ye Yunshen at the beginning, and there are some things that need to be done without Ye Yunshen going to say it clearly, they all understand it themselves.

Fifteen quickly retreated, and Ye Yunshen sat alone on the cloud couch, raising his hand, and his slender jade fingers brushed over a pot of red plum blossom trees beside him, not knowing what he was thinking.

Not long after, the butler walked in and said, "Lord, someone has come to the palace, saying that His Majesty wants to announce you." ”

Yeyunshen's eyes sank, and with a flick of his jade fingers, he withdrew his hand from the red plum tree, brushed off a few red plum petals, and then got up and walked out calmly.

"Get ready, enter the palace in a while."

Sooner or later, Ye Yunshen didn't think about escaping, and was even ready to face it.

After entering the palace, Ye Yunshen went straight to the imperial study, and on the way there, he saw Wei Qifan and the fourth prince walking by not far away, the two didn't know what they were talking about, and then he looked away with just one glance.

"Devil's ginseng is used in medicine, but I've heard of ......"

Wei Qifan smiled lightly, and continued to walk forward with Su Shi'an, through the past two months of getting along, the two have become friends, and they often meet and talk.

Su Shi'an was very good to Wei Qifan, Wei Qifan was very unaccustomed to it at first, but then slowly, she accepted his kindness, and even took the initiative to approach him.

"This devil ginseng is rare, I've only heard of it, and I didn't have any hope, cough cough ......" Su Shi'an was weak, three steps, one gasp, nine steps and one cough, especially in this winter, the cold wind blew a little and coughed, but he insisted on accompanying Wei Qifan out.

"Fourth prince, it's really troublesome for you, look at the weather ......" Wei Qifan's expression was apologetic, and he wanted to say something to Su Shi'an, but his eyes inadvertently caught a glimpse of the night clouds that were walking not far away.

After her eyes fell on him, she couldn't take her eyes off for a while, her expression was slightly stunned, and the words she was about to say suddenly stopped, and her steps slowed down involuntarily.

I once said that I would let him go, but now I still can't help but want to take a second look, looking at his resolute back when he walked, and suddenly I didn't know what to say.

Once, she saw that there was light in his eyes, with an unconcealable heat, but now there was only sadness spreading from the bottom of her heart, telling her not to be delusional anymore.

That man was good, but he couldn't belong to her.

Su Shi'an's gaze followed her gaze, and when he saw Ye Yunshen wearing a moon-white brocade robe, he couldn't help but chuckle: "It's rare that the idle king is back, but no one even notices it." He didn't wear the red clothes of the past today, but changed to a white dress, which not only added a bit of everyone's nobility, but also still made it difficult for the girl to take her eyes off, I almost thought I had recognized the wrong person just now. ”

The girl here is also Wei Qifan alone, when she heard it, she suddenly came back to her senses, then withdrew her gaze, and then smiled with her: "Yes, I almost thought I was wrong, but I heard that His Majesty summoned him back to Beijing a long time ago, and now he has only arrived, I'm afraid it's too late." ”

"I didn't see the county lord." Su Shi'an's sick and pale face weakly evoked a smile, "The county lord is stunning, and the idle king is also a hero, and he is sad to pass the beauty pass." ”

Wei Qifan's expression changed, she didn't want to hear anything praising her demeanor, and the others were just fine, but this sentence actually came out of Su Shi'an's mouth, inexplicably, and she was very uncomfortable in her heart.

"What county lord? Your Royal Highness has not forgotten that she is the witch of the ghost clan, maybe she has been bewitching the idle king all along, otherwise how could His Royal Highness, who has never been close to women, be so fascinated by her? ”

There was still a bit of jealousy in her tone, Su Shi'an was stunned when she heard it, and then smiled weakly, and said with a pale face: "What kind of person is King Xian, he is afraid that he is not bewitched by others, but he still indulges himself even knowing everything." If he has to choose one of the beauties, he just chooses the beauty who brings disaster to the country and the people in other people's mouths, but what's wrong with this? It was originally a choice between two or the other. ”

These words fell on Wei Qifan's ears and made her heart move slightly, but before she could taste anything, she heard him say again: "I really envy the idle king, who does not value his name or profit, and lives a chic and casual life." If I had the right to choose, I would have chosen the person I like......"

"Huh?" Suddenly hearing him say a few words about the person he liked, Wei Qifan was stunned, she turned her head to look at him, but saw him coughing violently, and his body almost didn't stand firm, but Wei Qifan raised his hand to support him.

"Go and call the Imperial Doctor, go quickly-"

The two palace maids behind him were a little flustered, one supported Su Shi'an, and the other went to call the imperial doctor.

……

Ye Yunshen came to the imperial study, far away before entering the door of the main hall, Gonggong Lu who was standing at the door saw him when he looked out, and then he turned around, took two steps forward, and said to the Nanyue Emperor who was standing on the top and was writing carefully: "Your Majesty, the idle king is here." ”

Hearing this, the Nanyue Emperor's pen action suddenly paused, and then a drop of ink fell on the rice paper, gradually blurring, and this rice paper was so wasted.

"Have you seen Lan Tilt?" As he spoke, he placed the brush on the table, then reached out and pulled out the discarded piece of paper, and looked at it carefully with his eyes open......

"I didn't see the county lord." Father-in-law Lu replied.

A few big characters on the rice paper are written "Jing Zhong to serve the country", the pen is vigorous and powerful, when the pen is hooked, the pen is still a little majestic, and now the first three words have been written, although it looks good, but it was ruined by the last drop of ink of the word "country".

The Nanyue Emperor didn't know what kind of emotion was in his heart, he just looked at those words and sighed: "It's a pity." ”

As soon as he raised his hand, the rice paper in his hand was thrown on the ground, and he sat down on the dragon chair and said, "Let him in." ”

After Ye Yunshen walked into the main hall, he directly bowed to the Nanyue Emperor with the courtesy of the former monarchs and ministers.

And the Nanyue Emperor, who was sitting on the top of the throne, looked at the person who saluted him, he didn't know what he thought, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his mood couldn't help but become dull, and for the first time, he let Ye Yunshen kneel like this, and didn't let him get up.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and the monarch and the minister who used to talk about everything have long been rusty, and there is a gap in my heart.

Ye Yunshen not only resisted the decree when he was in the three states of the secluded realm, but also blatantly helped the ghost clan, for what he did, the Nanyue Emperor was angry more than once, but he had nothing to do with him, he could only accumulate those unquenched anger in his heart, until now.

As for what the Nanyue Emperor did, Ye Yunshen probably wouldn't buy it, so it is completely inevitable that this monarch and a minister will come to this point.

"Idle King." With a soft call, the Nanyue Emperor was in an unclear mood and had a cold meaning, "What about Lan Tianyou?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, she didn't go back to Beijing." Ye Yunshen's two hands were held in front of him, and he didn't raise his head when he spoke, and his tone had long since lost his former respect, and some were just indifferent after temporarily bowing his head, not moving like a mountain.

"Where is she? Didn't I tell you to come back together? She is still the lord of Lan Tilt County in South Vietnam, and her uncle is the secretary of the Ministry of Rites in South Vietnam......"

The Nanyue Emperor's tone was filled with forbearance.

"Back to Your Majesty, she is in Chu Xiguo, and the minister did not inform her of this matter. In addition......"

After a pause, Ye Yunshen straightened his back slightly and raised his head: "Lan Tian is still not the county lord of South Vietnam, I believe that Your Majesty will know better than the minister, didn't Your Majesty have already ordered to declare to the outside world that the county lord of Lan Tian has already been taken away by the evil demon and died?" ”

The words he said fell into the ears of the emperor, and it was not impossible for someone else to drag him out and behead him in a fit of anger, but he was an exception.

"Idle King, you are getting more and more bold." The hands of the Nanyue Emperor were clenched together, the bone fingers were slightly white, and the trembling hands represented the forbearance in his heart.

He was angry in his heart, not only because of Feng Qingyan's failure to return, but also because of the attitude of the night clouds.

He ignored his will and didn't bring Feng Qingyan back, but he still talked to him like this, was he too used to him all these years, so that he was so lawless? Does he still have an emperor in his eyes?!

"Huh." Suddenly, there was a sneer, and Ye Yunshen couldn't help but sneer, "Don't be bold, how did you lay down the world of South Vietnam for Your Majesty?" ”

The Nanyue Emperor's hand clenched tightly and let go, it was impossible for him not to hear it, Ye Yunshen's words were a blatant reminder to him, if it weren't for him Ye Yunshen, how could Nanyue have the current world, and how could he, the emperor, become the monarch of such a big country?

Of course, this point has always been remembered very clearly in the heart of the Nanyue Emperor, so for so many years, he has always understood that he can't easily move this person in Yeyunshen.

He alone can take over half of South Vietnam.

The Emperor of Nanyue suppressed the anger in his heart, and forcibly squeezed out a smile on his face, "I still thought that if Lan Tian returned, I would decree that I would marry the two of you, one of you is my famous idle king in Nanyue, and the other is not only my honorable county lord of Nanyue, but also the terrifying ghost city lord in recent months, so, how can you not be a good match." ”

His tone and attitude softened, compared with his previous attitude towards his marriage with Feng Qingyan, Ye Yunshen didn't understand the forbearance of the Nanyue Emperor.

He also took a step back, his tone and attitude were a little more respectful, and said: "Since I know that Your Majesty has this good intention, the minister is here to ask Your Majesty for a reward, today it is better to plan to give the minister and the Lord of Lan Tilt City a marriage, although she is not there, but the minister will take it for her." ”

The Nanyue Emperor's mouth opened slightly, but he couldn't say a word, he could notice that the person in Yeyunshen's mouth was talking about the city lord of Lan Tilt, not the lord of Lan Tilt County.

The difference is only one word, but it is a world of difference.

"Idle King, are you gaining an inch?" He asked.

"How could Your Majesty say that?" Ye Yunshen asked in a hurry, and said: "It was His Majesty who said that he wanted to give marriage, and the minister just took advantage of the situation." ”

The Nanyue Emperor flicked his sleeves and snorted coldly.

He thought about it again, and always felt that Ye Yunshen's words were not right. Feng Qingyan is the city lord of the ghost clan, and Nanyue can't control her marriage, but if he is willing to give Ye Yunshen and Feng Qingyan a marriage, then as long as Feng Qingyan takes it, it is equivalent to the marriage between Nanyue and the ghost clan.

There are pros and cons to this.

For the Emperor of Nanyue, as soon as his will is given, if Feng Qingyan, who is the lord of the ghost clan, accepts it, it is equivalent to that even the ghost clan has to give Nanyue some face.

Even, Ye Yunshen said that this was taking advantage of the trend, which could be regarded as catering to his meaning, as if to tell him that you are the king, and my minister is a minister after all.

At this point, the Nanyue Emperor was more satisfied.

But on the contrary, if this is done, it also means that Ye Yunshen can marry Feng Qingyan openly.

Taking a step back like this can not only please the king, but also hug the beauty, is it a good show to kill two birds with one stone?

Wrong, the three-win-win drama is still to come.
