Chapter 158: The Mother Doesn't Serve (End)
Recently, Li Hongsheng has been very unsatisfactory.
He always felt that these people who served him were orchestrating him behind his back. But when he rushed over in a rage, there was no one there.
After many times, Li Hongsheng felt that he had hysteria, but he was very clear about the discussions he heard.
There were even a few times when the chamberlains were in front of him, and he felt that everyone was talking about him.
For this reason, Li Hongsheng was furious, but the scared appearance of everyone made him feel that it was really his own imagination.
In this way, Li Hongsheng has to endure these close discussions every day. It's annoying, and people are a little crazy.
Zhang Minting is not very good, and Li Hongsheng's favorability towards her is completely zero now. If you don't have favorability, you won't get rewards from the system, and the bad thing is that many of the system's rewards are time-sensitive.
When the statute of limitations expires, she will have to buy it again, but now that there are no bonus points, she can't buy it at all.
Xi Jiang received news from the palace in King Jing's mansion.
"I've just made a little effort, so I can't resist it?" Xi Jiang shook his head, he was also a person who had been lucky, how could he be so capable.
'Xi Jiang, you have to move quickly, your body won't last long. Xiaobai jumped on the dresser next to him and said.
Xi Jiang walked to the candle flame and burned the letter, "Don't worry, I'll go see them tomorrow." ”
The next day, Xi Jiang asked Meng Huaijin to take Li Jifeng to the military camp to have a look, and after dividing the people, Xi Jiang entered the palace and went to see Zhang Minting first.
Before approaching the Qianhe Palace, there was a sense of gloom, and there were many weeds growing sparsely on the stone road.
After entering the Qianhe Palace, the sense of desolation is even worse.
It was obviously a warm spring, but the palace of Qianhe showed a withered yellow trend, only a few dots of green were sparsely hung, and the once delicate precious flowers and plants in the flower bed were also growing in a mess.
The palace maids and chamberlains serving in the palace were very lazy, unaware of the scene in front of them, and gathered together in twos and threes, talking and laughing.
Seeing that Xi Jiang was coming, everyone hurriedly threw down the things in their hands and walked to Xi Jiang to salute.
"I've seen the imperial concubine."
"Where's Concubine Rong?" Xi Jiang asked.
"Back to Niangniang, Concubine Rong is in the palace. In the past six months, Concubine Rong has hardly been out of the dormitory. ”
Xi Jiang followed the palace maid all the way to the front of the palace, on the stone steps outside the palace, there are footprints left by the last rain, and the root of the wall of the palace is also full of dust, which looks like it has not been cleaned for a long time.
The palace maid stepped forward and pushed the hall away, and a strange smell mixed with sweat came to her face.
The palace maids all subconsciously wanted to cover their mouths and noses, but when they saw Xi Jiang, they just frowned, and everyone didn't dare to make extra moves.
"Niangniang, Concubine Rong doesn't let us enter the house during the day, and usually lets us go in and pick up our clothes at night." The palace maid was afraid that Xi Jiang would blame her, so she explained.
Xi Jiang didn't say anything, and stepped into the hall.
Entering the palace, the unpleasant smell became even stronger, and Xi Jiang searched for a while in the hall before finding Zhang Minting in front of a bronze mirror covered with black cloth.
Zhang Minting at this time is completely different from what she has seen in the past.
She held a wooden comb, like a beauty combing, and combed her long hair, but the picture was not beautiful, but it made people feel a little scary.
He had white hair that reached to the ground, and his exposed arms were wrinkled and thin. Where does this have the appearance of the country and the city in the past, even the old woman on the side of the road is better looking than her.
'Xiaobai, why did she become like this? Xi Jiang asked.
She thought that Zhang Minting was a decline in appearance, but this was not a decline in appearance.
This is a total destruction of appearance!
That's what she is. Xiaobai, who returned to the system space, said, "She has been bound to the system for more than 70 years, and she has done more than a dozen tasks before and after. Her previous appearance was all maintained by system rewards, but now that there are no system rewards, she will naturally change back to the way she was. ’
But isn't she a soul? Xi Jiang asked.
'It's the soul wearing! But she's just a stowaway, not like us who has legal procedures. The body she wears does not match her soul, and after entering, the body will reject her soul and age rapidly.
The reason why you are not rejected by the body is because the original owner still has a connection with the body, and she has voluntarily lent the body to you to use. ’
After a while of communicating with Xiaobai, Zhang Minting also discovered Xi Jiang.
She turned her head slowly, and an old face as dry as a skeleton startled Xi Jiang. It was obvious on that face that the skin was beginning to age and dry, clinging to the bones.
Seeing Xi Jiang coming, Zhang Minting instantly became emotional, and her big but aging body did not allow it, so she fell directly to the ground, and her skin chips fell to the ground.
Xi Jiang hurriedly took a few steps back and moved a little farther away.
Zhang Minting on the ground looked at Xi Jiang, and the skin on her face began to pull strangely, and she could see from her eyes that she was very angry, but she couldn't say a word.
She couldn't say it, Xi Jiang had to say a few words.
"Do you know what you look like now?" Xi Jiang looked at the black cloth covered with a bronze mirror, "I think you know." However, it's all your own doing. ”
After speaking, Xi Jiang turned around and walked out of the main hall, leaving Zhang Minting alone to look at the gate of the palace angrily.
After Xi Jiang left, the palace maids closed the door again, and Zhang Minting was forever isolated from the outside world.
The next target is Li Hongsheng.
Li Hongsheng still lives in the former Qianyuan Palace, and the scene here is completely different from Zhang Minting's Qianhe Palace.
The ground was cleaned, there was not a trace of weeds, and the palace maids and attendants were also very conscientious, but when Xi Jiang arrived, there was something different in their eyes.
After entering the Qianyuan Palace, no one asked Xi Jiang, and Qin An, the closest chief servant to Li Hongsheng, directly brought Xi Jiang to Li Hongsheng.
Li Hongsheng's pupils were dilated, his hair was scattered, his clothes were not neatly dressed, and his mouth kept thinking about something.
He happened to pass a stone staircase, there was a stone on it, and the attendant next to him wanted to touch it, but Li Hongsheng immediately dodged in fear, and he also tripped over the stone and fell to the ground, very embarrassed.
It seems that Li Hongsheng himself knew that he was embarrassed, sitting on the ground, furious. But none of the chamberlains dared to step forward, and if His Majesty were angry and wounded them, they would have nowhere to reason.
"Your Majesty is already on the verge of collapse, is Niangniang's revenge enough?" Qin An asked respectfully.
"Qin An, do you think enough is enough?" Xi Jiang looked at Qin An and asked.
When Xi Jiang saw Li Hongsheng just now, he received a reminder from Xiaobai that the task was completed, and Meng Wan'er let Li Hongsheng go.
She let him go after all.
Qin An frowned, pondered for a moment before replying: "After all, he is the king of a country, and what he did to Niangniang before was indeed extremely ruthless, but as the emperor of a country, he still has to be somewhat decent, not for him, but for Mingde." ”
Xi Jiang looked at Li Hongsheng in the distance and said indifferently: "That's enough!" ”
After saying that, Xi Jiang turned around and left.
Qin An and the attendants bowed deeply to Xi Jiang until they couldn't see Xi Jiang's figure.
Half a year later, Xi Jiang's physical condition deteriorated sharply, and he became thinner and thinner day by day.
The Meng family and the Jingwang Mansion even used the power of a country, but they never found a cure.
Two months later, the first snow of the year turned the world a silvery white color.
Xi Jiang leaned back to Li Jifeng and sat in the courtyard, looking at the snowflakes flying in the sky.
In the distance, Meng Changqi and Meng Huaijin frowned rarely, and Qian and Shan Yunzhu leaned on their arms and cried silently.
"This year's snow is a bit heavier than usual, and the snow is even more beautiful. The people can survive the winter in peace, right? Xi Jiang's voice was extremely soft, and only Li Jifeng, who was nearby, could hear it.
Li Jifeng said in a low voice: "Don't worry, mother, the imperial court has made preparations in advance this year, and the people will definitely be able to survive this cold winter." ”
"That's good."
When Xi Jiang said this, his voice was much softer, and he spoke softly again after a long time: "Can't ...... With you...... Grow up, resentful? ”
Li Jifeng, who was behind him, shed tears uncontrollably, swallowed hard, and said normally: "Don't complain." Being your son is the greatest blessing in your child's life. ”
That's good!
A piece of flying snow floated in front of him, and Xi Jiang wanted to reach out to catch it, but before he could touch the flying snow, his arm fell weakly and naturally.
At this time, Li Jifeng dared to cry out loud and cry!
In the future, there will never be anyone who spoils him like his mother.
