Chapter 205: Hungry for Three Days
Although he knew that the prince of Beiyao had sent General Qu Kequ, a subordinate official of the East Palace, to come to Dongyan, Emperor Dongyan was not forced to summon him by rumors outside the palace.
The first is the sudden appearance in the imperial study, Emperor Dongyan felt that his authority had been provoked, and someone could come and go freely in the palace. The second is that he wants to brake with static.
He guessed that the Northern Crown Prince deliberately asked an unknown person to send the Golden Seal of the Northern Crown Princess over to test his reaction. Otherwise, why did he choose such a time, when several Dongyan princes were vying to marry Chai Fengyin, when he already suspected that Chai Fengyin was a spirit girl......
Thinking of this, Emperor Dongyan frowned, if Chai Fengyin is a spirit girl, what about Lou Xinyue? Elder Yan Song was convinced that Lou Xinyue was a spirit girl!
The same five elements of spiritual power, the same talent, the same alchemist...... Two spirit girls?
No matter how many spirit girls there are, in short, we can't let them fall into the hands of other empires!
It's just that which prince to point Chai Fengyin to, Emperor Dongyan couldn't make up his mind for a while, and the reason why he couldn't make up his mind actually included a little bit of ambition that was faintly crazy in his heart-
Why must his son marry a spirit girl? Isn't he able to do it himself......
"Your Majesty, the queen asks to see you."
Emperor Dongyan raised his eyes to look at the chief eunuch who came in to report, there was still unrestrained eagerness and madness in his eyes, and slowly calmed down his mind, he calmly ordered:
"Let her in."
Empress Dongyan was soon invited into the imperial study, and after the ceremony, she saw that the emperor was staring at the excerpt and did not look at her, and she couldn't help but feel angry, but when she thought of what she wanted to report, she was a little weak. Thinking of Chai Fengyin, who didn't know where he was imprisoned, and the Nine Emperor Princes who were locked up together, many thoughts came to her mind for a while, and the queen didn't know which one to say first.
I didn't hear the following for a long time, and Emperor Dongyan raised his eyes very impatiently, "Does the queen have nothing to report?" ”
"The concubine has something to report...... I don't know what the emperor plans to do with Chai Fengyin and the Nine Emperor Princes? "In the end, her son's affairs are more worrying to the queen, not to mention that if the emperor is angry when he hears another thing, it will be even more difficult for her to intercede for her son.
"I have my own plans for this, and the queen doesn't need to remember it."
As soon as he heard that it was for the marriage of the eldest prince and Chai Fengyin, Emperor Dongyan immediately frowned and said unhappily: "There is nothing else, the queen will step down." ”
The queen asked unwillingly: "Is the emperor already planning to point out Chai Fengyin to the Nine Emperor Princes?" ”
"Do I have to marry Chai Fengyin to the eldest prince and the ninth prince?"
"Apart from the Nine Emperor Princes, is there anyone else who dares to compete with the Great Prince?" As soon as the words came out, Empress Dongyan suddenly thought of Gu Shenqing, the fifth prince, and he seemed to have expressed his intention to come to Chai Fengyin.
The empress's words made Emperor Dongyan's face sink, although he dared to compete with his son, he did it, but he couldn't say this kind of thing. He hated the queen in his heart, and his tone was very indifferent:
"What I decide, it's not the queen's turn to make irresponsible remarks. Get out! ”
The power of the emperor is not something that ordinary people can bear, the queen is stunned, but there is still something that has not been reported, and she can't leave for a while, "The concubine still has a matter to report, and the female official who just went to Cangmang Mountain to pick tea came back and said that Cang'er Snow Bud is missing a ......"
"Say it again! What do you mean it's gone? ”
"That's it...... It's just two spirit tea trees, and somehow one is missing...... Ahh
"There is one less spiritual tea, and you haven't reported it in time! What are you still doing here? Don't go check on me yet! ”
"Yes......" was thrown to the feet of Empress Dongyan, and the folded paper inside was scattered. Empress Dongyan lowered her head, and her eyes were suddenly attracted by the content on the paper.
Isn't this the marriage letter of the Empress Dowager Beiyao?
Emperor Dongyan noticed the empress's gaze, and suddenly recalled that there seemed to be something wrong with the twist and turn that he had just thrown out. However, he didn't panic, and only ordered the queen in a deep voice: "Stand down!" In the future, you don't have to be responsible for the affairs of Lingcha. ”
These words made Queen Dongyan angry in her heart, she didn't have to be responsible, was she going to hand over the matter of Lingcha to that slut in Xianli Palace? The queen has always been responsible for the matter of spiritual tea, why is that slut!
It's just that Emperor Dongyan is really angry at this moment, and the queen doesn't dare to say more. Seeing that the music on the ground suddenly flew into the emperor's hand, a shadow of the Ming Emperor flickered in front of him, and Emperor Dongyan had disappeared in the imperial study. In such a hurry, I am afraid that I have gone to the vast mountain.
Emperor Dongyan did go to Cangmang Mountain. It is not an exaggeration to say that Cang'er Xueya is Dongyan's national treasure, and it is not an exaggeration to drink it all year round to wash the essence and expand the spiritual vein, like Zhu Yuanye and Chai Xueyan, but they are eighteen-year-old great spirit masters who are humanized as geniuses. However, the princes of Dongyan, such as Gu Yingfeng, Gu Hansheng, and Gu Shenqing, who drank Cang'er snow buds all year round, had already advanced to the spirit king at the age of eighteen.
It is conceivable how much Emperor Dongyan attaches great importance to Cang'er Xueya. Now that one of the two plants is gone, of course he has to find out for himself. However, Lingcha grows in the forbidden land, guarded by the enchantment set by Lingzun, not to mention foolproof, at least without Lingzun's cultivation, it can't enter. Now that there is suddenly no one, Emperor Dongyan said in his heart that this matter is quite strange.
He naturally couldn't think of Chai Fengyin's head, after all, he didn't know that this Cang'er snow bud had already disappeared when the accident happened in Cangmeng Mountain. However, he thought of Beichen Bi's head, and he had heard that Prince Beiyao was arrogant and arrogant, maybe he asked him to do it......
Emperor Dongyan went to Cangmang Mountain to check, and of course Empress Dongyan, the person in charge, could not go away. It's just that when she was about to leave the palace gate, the queen's eyes flashed in front of her eyes the marriage letter on the fold just now.
I thought that those rumors outside the palace were just rumors that some people wanted to save Chai Fengyin and deliberately released them, but I didn't expect that there was really a marriage certificate. Since the marriage letter is true, then the envoy sent by the prince of Beiyao is also true.
If the prince of Beiyao really has the heart to marry Chai Fengyin, I am afraid that he will come to Dongyan in person in the near future. Since the emperor has withheld the national letter, he must have other plans.
I remembered what the emperor said just now, in addition to the eldest prince and the ninth prince, the emperor also considered marrying Chai Fengyin to other princes...... Of course, other princes are just wishful thinking on the part of Empress Dongyan.
With these speculations, after leaving the palace, Empress Dongyan was not in a hurry to go to Cangmanshan Mountain, but went to the Great Prince's Mansion first.
……
In the Lifan Palace in the northwest corner of the palace, Chai Fengyin closed her eyes to absorb the weather aura and cultivate, and occasionally felt Gu Yingfeng's gaze fall on her, gently and softly, and did not make people feel disturbed.
It's been three days since they've been here, and for three days, they haven't eaten at all. Chai Fengyin is okay, because of the relationship between cultivating Tianyin Decision, she no longer needs to eat grains and stomachs after the Bigu period.
As for Gu Yingfeng, Chai Fengyin opened his eyes and saw a haggard face that could not be concealed, although his spirit looked acceptable, but he couldn't stand it, his lips were already white and skinned, and a circle of scum appeared on the side of his mouth.
"Miss Chai." Seeing Chai Fengyin open his eyes, Gu Yingfeng greeted with a smile.
Although the two were in the same room, they didn't communicate much. Maybe it was his question that annoyed her, Gu Yingfeng thought, because after that, Chai Fengyin had been meditating and cultivating until now.
Xu is warm and pure smile touched a certain string in Chai Fengyin's heart, and the next moment, a quenching spirit fruit with a strong aura was thrown into Gu Yingfeng's arms.
Gu Yingfeng was refreshed when he saw the fruit in his arms, naturally not because he had something to eat, but because he was grateful that it was Chai Fengyin who cared about him. But when he looked at Chai Fengyin again, she had already closed her eyes again.
"Thank you, Miss Chai." There was no response, and as expected, Gu Yingfeng was not disappointed.
But before he could eat the fruit, someone came. It's been three days, and finally someone is here!
Not only did people come, but hearty meals were also delivered. As if to make up for the guilt of the past three days, a group of palace maids and eunuchs who served the food rushed in. After a while, the empty hall was filled with the tempting aroma of wine and food, and a large table of eight immortals was filled with delicious food with both color and flavor.
After the dish was served, Emperor Dongyan also came in. He Shi Shiran walked to the top and sat down, and let Gu Yingfeng and Chai Fengyin take their seats.
Gu Yingfeng picked up the right position and sat down, but Chai Fengyin did not sit on the left, but sat down in the lower seat facing the door, that is, directly opposite Emperor Dongyan.
These two positions were originally one of the most respectful and the other the most humble, but Chai Fengyin sat down calmly, but his momentum was not much shorter. On the contrary, it is like two people playing against each other, Emperor Dongyan holds the white son first, and she holds the black son later. Although one after the other, it is not yet known who will lose and who will win.
"Let's eat."
Emperor Dongyan's gaze fell on Chai Fengyin unabashedly, he naturally did not miss Chai Fengyin's special temperament, the decision originally made because of the words of the concubine, but now he was shaken by the desire and ambition in his heart.
"I've locked you up here for a few days, is Feng'er complaining about his father?"
"How so?!"
Gu Yingfeng hurriedly put down his chopsticks, and Zhengse replied: "On that day in the main hall, it was the son-in-law who disobeyed his father's will, no matter how my father punished me, it was the son-in-law who deserved it." It's just that the sons did not regret what they did that day, and asked their father to forgive them. ”
The latter sentence seems to be more than just for him, Emperor Dongyan turned his eyes to look at Chai Fengyin opposite, but saw that she was carrying a wine jug and pouring herself a drink, so chic.
"Feng'er, go see your mother, she is worried about you, she hasn't slept well for many days."
Gu Yingfeng glanced at Chai Fengyin, and asked hesitantly, "Father, can Miss Chai also leave the palace?" ”
"What if I say I can't?" Emperor Dongyan's face was expressionless, and his mood was unpredictable, and this question obviously needed to be answered carefully.
Gu Yingfeng's eyes flashed slightly, paused, and immediately replied: "Father forgives the sin, and the son wants to stay." ”
"Stay?" Emperor Dongyan sneered for a moment, "For her, can't even your mother take care of her?" How did I raise such a rebellious son like you who indulged in children's love! ”
"Go back to your prince's mansion and reflect on it! Without my will, you are not allowed to take half a step out of the house! ”
