Chapter Fifty-Nine: The Ghost King

Bao Xi didn't get up to greet him, but after hearing the words of the Youwang, he hummed, indicating that he knew. Not to mention that in this palace, even if an ordinary husband's husband returns from a trip, this is also

It's too cold. But the Youwang seemed to be used to it, and he didn't show any impatience.

He whispered to the palace maid next to him, "Did the queen smile today?"

The palace maid shook her head helplessly.

King You sighed, and a palace maid brought a chair and put it next to Bao Xi, and King Zhou You sat on that chair.

"How is the Queen?"

"Okay!"

"But there are palace people who don't take care of it?"

Listening to King You's words, several palace maids next to them were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and looked at the queen tremblingly. Youwang has always been cruel and domineering, but he has taken great pains to praise him, and he is obedient. If the queen nodded at this moment, I am afraid that several of them would immediately be in a different place.

"No!" replied, again simply and indifferently.

The palace maids who knelt on the ground breathed a long sigh of relief because of these two simple words, and their lives were saved.

"What is the queen, since you entered the palace, Lone has never seen you smile. ”

The queen waved her hand to signal the kneeling palace maids to get up, and then still replied coldly, "The concubine doesn't smile in her life!"

Youwang Huo got up, he was born to be a noble king, and no one had ever dared to treat him so indifferently.

He thought about it for a long time, and thought a lot, why didn't she like to laugh? Was it because she had a miserable background and was so depressed? Or was it because she left her hometown and suddenly entered the palace and felt insecure? But she had been in the palace for seven years, and she had been gentle and petty with her, and she had never been harsh, and she had abolished Empress Shen and the prince of prominent families for her, and set up her son Bofu as the prince. She is now the queen of this Great Zhou, one person under ten thousand people, and her status could not be more noble. In the past few years, my gentleness and thoughtfulness still can't warm up this cold stone?

He once asked her what she liked. He thought that even if she said that she wanted the moon in the sky, he would try his best to find it. As for her, she just replied to him indifferently, "The concubine has nothing to do!" because there is nothing to do, there is nothing to be happy about. So he can only be indifferent to him all his life? Even if he builds a platform for her and makes beautiful clothes, he can't get her a few reviews in the end.

But even though he was angry to the extreme, he still couldn't bear it in his heart. Although he is the king of this world, he has fallen into her prison and become her slave, but the funny thing is that he has always been willing. It's a curse that can't be broken.

The face of the Youwang had obvious anger, and it was more of a sorrow, which did not belong to the sorrow of an emperor. In the end, he just flicked his sleeves and softened his tone, "I'll come to see you another day!" After walking a few steps, he instructed the palace people, "Wait for the queen, if you neglect it, you will be punished with death!"

The palace people who had just stood up were prostrate on the ground again, "Yes!" They are all people who have been in the palace for many years, and they know better than anyone else about the cruelty of the Youwang, and the Youwang is only their current master.

"This compliment really doesn't laugh. Ximei couldn't help but sigh, and couldn't help but look at Mo Li on her side with her spare eyes, whether it was the previous life or this life, as long as he was willing to take a step towards her, she would not hesitate to complete the remaining ninety-nine steps. It's just that she lost at the starting point in the last life, and in this life, this life doesn't even seem to have a starting point. It's not just hers, it's Taoyao's.

"I have met this person once, and at that time, she was sent to the palace this week as a gift by Bao Guo. Tao Yao only saw a side face at that time, which was not real, she only remembered her eyes that looked down on everything at that time. At that time, I heard that it was a beauty dedicated to the king by a defeated country, but now I think it's her. The wind blew the curtain, and she saw her sitting faintly like that, not crying, not making trouble, not laughing, as if the noise and excitement of the world had nothing to do with her, and even her own life and death had nothing to do with her.

Tao Yao thought about saving her at that time, she was just a girl at that time, but unfortunately she became a victim of the war. But Lu Zhudao stopped her, he said, everyone has their own fate, and she can't change it. At that time, she had not yet awakened the memory of her previous life, so she naturally did not understand what fate was. She stubbornly wanted to rescue Bao Xi, but was knocked unconscious by Lu Zhudao and carried back. When I finally woke up, I had no choice but to stop it.

"War has always been cruel, but it is just the law of the jungle. You've seen it, let's go!" Mo Li had no special feelings about this.

"Hmm!" Ximei's eyes are just a grape that can't be eaten, and it's the best story. If this Bao Xi first entered the palace, he would be like those concubines of King Zhou You, gentle and flattering to the king, and tactfully acknowledging joy, this Bao Xi will be like what is sung in the play, only the newcomer laughs, and whoever hears the old man crying will soon become a forgotten old person in this deep palace, probably because of her coldness and alienation, so that this Zhou You King has the desire to conquer the melting iceberg.

Tao Yao didn't speak, but just followed the two out of the palace together. Her heart turned a thousand times. She remembered the matter between herself and Di Xin, who had abolished Queen Jiang for herself, and then made a wine pond for herself, and then the song of the dynasty was broken and Shang was destroyed. The history is so similar, and now that the people are not wrapping their stomachs, the demise of Zhou is not far away.

If perdition is Zhou's fate, she can't change it. Even if she could, she couldn't change it, because it would ruin more lives. That's why in the last life, she knew that what was waiting for Di Xin was death and the fall of Shang. She couldn't say or do anything, she could only go with the flow, even add fuel to the fire, and the most important thing was that she didn't see her heart clearly at that time.

When the three of them left the palace, they found an inn and rested.

Tao Yao lay on the bed, looking at the bed curtain in a daze. She was still thinking about that compliment. She was afraid, afraid that Bao Xi would be another self. Only when the country is destroyed and the city is destroyed can you see your own mind clearly, and by then it is already too late. She wanted that even if she couldn't change her fate, she could at least let them have a happy time before the country collapsed and the city was destroyed, and then walked across the Nai He Bridge together, met in the next life, and became ordinary men and women in the world.

She waited for twilight to fall, then quietly went out.

She didn't know that the moment she opened the door, the person in the room next to her had already noticed it, and followed her all the way back to the palace.

Tao Yao did not hide this time, she arrived at the queen's palace familiarly. At this time, Bao Xi had already retired from everyone and was ready to rest.

Tao Yao saw her at this time, her expression was still cold, compared to herself, as if she was the person outside the world.

"Queen!"

"Who are you, how are you here?" Bao Xi's expression did not show a trace of fluctuation, as if she was chatting with a friend who often came to visit the door.

Tao Yao was afraid that she would be frightened at that time, which caused her to exclaim, attracting many palace people, and also posted a soundproof note outside the door. In this way, it is redundant. This praise is not only cold to the king of You, but also not eager for everything.

"I'm just an outsider, and I'm here today to talk to the queen. ”

"Hmm!"

"Although King You is not a good king, he is impeccable to the queen. ”

"So what?" Bao Xi glanced at Tao Yao, this was the first person to bluntly say to her that King You was not a good king, although this was indeed true, but ordinary people would not dare to be so outspoken.

"And what about the Queen?"

"I, I have been this gift since the moment of the defeat of the country, and I have never had the right to choose. My existence is just to calm the national disaster," Bao Xi lowered her eyebrows lightly.

"If it weren't for these tragic antecedents, would the queen have fallen in love with the king?" Tao Yao wondered if the two of them were two opposing sides from different positions, which caused this incompleteness.

"But there are no ifs. How do you ask me to answer your question that can't happen?" Bao Xi is really indifferent and congested, this conversation is directly taught Tao Yao's heart is panicked.

"So if soon, Zhou Guo is broken and King You dies, what should you do?"

"He is already dead as the emperor of a country, what can I do? My body is like catkins floating in the wind, and my heart is like duckweed chasing water. Although she was still faint, Tao Yao found that when she heard that the king of Youwang died, her pupils shrank significantly, and she was not without the slightest position of the king in her heart. It's just that her heart is too bitter, she has been lonely since she was a child, and then she was finally adopted by her adoptive parents, and because of the defeat of Baoguo, the prince killed her adoptive parents in order to dedicate her to King You.

"Although King Youwang is the cause of your suffering in this life, you should also know in your heart that all this is counted on him, and it is unfair to him, isn't it?"

Bao Xi frowned, as if she was thinking about what Tao Yao said.

Tao Yao looked at the woman in front of her who was even frowning, no wonder the king of Youwang would fall for her like a demon, and even when she saw her, she wanted to brush away the sorrow between her eyebrows.

"You might think that if he hadn't defeated Bao, you wouldn't have been given as a gift, and your adoptive parents wouldn't have been killed. But if he is defeated, perhaps his people will be sent as a gift to the kingdom. It's just that you have different positions, and there is no one right or wrong in this matter. Why waste the little time you have left torturing each other? ”

"Why do you say that? What do you know? Is the Zhou Kingdom going to perdition?" Compared with the previous indifference, Bao Xi was a little anxious at this time.

"There are a lot of things I can't say, I just hope that you face your heart squarely and don't wait until that day really comes, to regret it!" Tao Yao didn't say the last sentence, but her heart was bitter and painful. If you had seen your heart earlier, even if you knew that your fate could not be changed, you would not have wasted your last time doing nothing. At least have more love and sweetness with him.

Tao Yao finished speaking and left. After Tao Yao left, Bao Xi has been in a trance, suspecting that a conversation just a conversation is just a dream of his own, a dream hidden in his heart that he dare not face.

Mo Li, who hid his breath on the roof, was relieved to see that Tao Yao just said something to Bao Xi and didn't do anything.
