Chapter 124: The Last Descendant of the Royal Family
Cheng Yangxi's auspicious day to worship the royal family of Southern Wu and set up a son of the opposite sex was chosen half a month later.
In the past half a month, the imperial court specially sent a doctor to the Huashi Dan Pharmacy to popularize the various matters that need to be paid attention to in worshiping the royal family temple to Cheng Yangxi.
For example, before the sacrifice, one had to go to the royal temple to bathe and fast for seven days.
Cheng Yangxi listened to it loudly.
These red tapes, for him, are even more difficult than the college entrance examination that year.
After eight days of hard work, Cheng Yangxi followed the doctor to the royal temple.
This is the real purpose of Cheng Yangxi.
In the first two days, Cheng Yangxi behaved in a proper manner.
In these two days, King Wu will also personally come to the royal temple to bathe and fast, and then stay for half a day.
After the third day, King Wu would only come to bathe when it was close to dusk, and then return to the palace.
In the words of King Wu, he was devout enough to the royal ancestors.
However, for the sake of the country, he had to hold a morning pilgrimage in the morning, and he had to review the recitals most of the day, so he could fast in the palace.
Where did the officials of the royal family temple dare to refute?
So, from the third day onwards, most of the time in the royal temple, only Cheng Yangxi and the officials of the royal temple were there.
What Cheng Yangxi does every day is also extremely simple, which is to take these officials to "hang out" in the entire royal temple.
After two days of shopping, Cheng Yangxi finally had a clear grasp of the terrain and layout of the royal temple, the location of the guards and the shifts.
On the evening of the fifth day, Cheng Yangxi, accompanied by several officials of the royal family and temple, returned to his room after bathing and fasting.
Still fastening the door, Cheng Yangxi became invisible and jumped out of the window.
The observation of these two days made him understand that in this royal temple, the only time period when he had the opportunity to go out was the hour before dusk after eating until dark.
This is the time when officials and guards eat and change shifts, and both the probability of officials and the degree of guard patrols are the lowest.
Coming out of the room, Cheng Yangxi avoided the officials and guards he happened to encounter from a distance, and appeared in a corner of the royal temple.
There is a very large courtyard with a palace in the middle.
Within 100 steps of the courtyard, there is not a single building in sight!
The courtyard is backed by a cliff, nearly a hundred zhang high, and ordinary people can't climb it at all.
Outside the courtyard walls, there were three rows of twenty guards patrolling back and forth.
At the entrance of the courtyard, there were two columns of five guards each.
This is where the only royal descendant of the Great Zhou Dynasty of all the five kingdoms lives today.
In the words of the colorful butterfly, not even a fly can fly.
However, this is only relative to normal people.
Cheng Yangxi stood incognito from a distance, watching the three rows of guards patrol back and forth.
When two of the three rows of guards passed by, Cheng Yangxi made a mistake and instantly appeared under the courtyard wall.
A swallow drilled over the courtyard wall, and Cheng Yangxi landed steadily in the courtyard.
In the courtyard, I have to say that the decoration is quite luxurious, with rockeries and waters, flowers and green spaces everywhere.
Even, you can see that there are a few beautiful maids in the palace who are busy.
However, I don't feel any life.
There were signs of dead air everywhere.
Cheng Yangxi walked towards the palace.
Today, he must succeed.
For this reason, he was ready to use illusions, even the Divine Soul Clone Technique.
Just when he came to the gate of the palace, there was a long and mournful sound of flute in the palace.
Cheng Yangxi is also a person who has played various musical instruments for thirteen years under the education of Brother Leng.
Especially in the seven years that Brother Leng lived, every night, he could almost hear Brother Leng playing the jade flute.
Brother Leng's flute is very distinctive.
It's all that sad and lingering tune.
And today's flute sound also has something in common.
From the sound of the flute, Cheng Yangxi heard a sorrow that bordered on despair.
It's like a bird with broken wings in a cage, and it can't escape if it wants to, and it can't die if it wants to.
After listening to it for a while, Cheng Yangxi felt a little uncomfortable.
This kind of tune, listening to it too much, can really make people depressed.
After the song was finished, a deep sigh from a man was heard from the palace: "Alas!"
After this sigh, a childish voice sounded: "Father, why do you always sigh?"
The man's voice said, "Ning Ning, even if I tell you, you don't understand." ”
Ning Ning asked: "Father, are you unhappy because I am not born to you? Then it would be good for you and your mother to have a few children! You give birth to a few big fat boys, and then when they grow up, you can tell them every day!"
The man let out a bitter laugh.
At this moment, a female voice as crisp as a yellow bird said: "Husband, if you are bored, the concubine can talk to you." If you feel that the concubine is not doing well and is annoyed, you can have a few babies with the concubine. When the time comes, you say to them. Hehe, husband, the concubine really wants a few babies!"
The man said, "Don't mention this matter again!"
The woman said, "Why, husband, do you think that the concubine's body is not good-looking? Or do you dislike that the concubine's body was given to you by the king, and you feel that the concubine's body and mind are ill-behaved?"
"Don't be cranky, I didn't mean that. The man said.
The woman said, "No, husband, you don't have to apologize. ”
"The reason why Ning Ning came to you is because the king wants to arouse your heart of care and make you want to have children. ”
"The reason why the concubine came to her husband's side is also the king's order, first, to monitor you and prevent you from committing suicide, and secondly, it can be regarded as maintaining the last bit of blood of the Great Zhou royal family. ”
"But, husband, have you thought about it? Are you not going to have your own descendants because the world wants to use the bloodline of your Great Zhou royal family?"
"You are the only one left in the Great Zhou royal family!"
"Do you want your ancestors to cut off their children and grandchildren?"
"Far away, are you worthy of your parents?"
"Didn't your parents know about these things in the first place?"
"But they still gave birth to you!"
"For what?"
"For that little bit of hope!"
The concubine believes that one day, the world will be unified and the emperor will be sealed. ”
"And the blood of the Great Zhou royal family is no longer needed. ”
"At that time, your descendants will be able to live like normal people. ”
The man said in a deep voice: "Enough, don't say it again! I said, I won't touch you, let alone have offspring!
"Well, let's not talk about that. The woman's voice was also mixed with a hint of tiredness, "Then let's go in and eat, life will have to pass." I won't let you die, and I don't dare let you die. Whether it's out of selfishness or righteousness. ”
The man said, "I know, you have to watch me for your family." Don't worry, I'm not going to die. ”
