Chapter 35: Affair in the Palace
When Bai Nanxiang got the spirit beast, a spirit beast brought by the Miaotong faction this time also caused a small impulse in the Inhuman circle after it appeared in the auction hall this night.
That's a snow-white dragon!
It has been a long time since there has been a flying dragon on the Jiuhua Continent, not to mention what kind of magical power it has, just such an image is fascinating!
What's more, the dragon is extremely powerful and fast, and it is one of the most powerful spirit beasts recorded in the Inhuman World.
Because of this, the price of that dragon is extremely high, and the auction time is also extremely long, and you can bid for a few days after it is only unveiled tonight, and the final price will be announced at the end of the meeting ten days later.
But in just one night, the price of this dragon has been speculated to a full three million taels of snowflake silver.
News about the dragon also reached the palace.
Imperial City, inside the Imperial Study.
The emperor, who was nearly fifty years old, had gray hair, and was still in good spirit, raised his hand angrily and slapped his palm heavily on the fold in front of him.
"A mere spirit beast was sold for three million taels! My treasury only collects 80 million taels a year! How many people in the world are still hungry, the military department and the household department cry with me every day, and my army's salary is reduced again and again! ”
"These aliens! They dared to sell a spirit beast for three million taels! Do they still have people in their eyes, but there are still me?! ”
A short and fat eunuch with a white face and beard on the side, seeing that the emperor was angry, hurriedly dusted his hands tightly, half-bowed, and hurriedly persuaded.
"Ouch, long live the lord, watch your hands carefully, don't get angry."
The emperor was angry, and he couldn't listen to the eunuch's advice at all, and his face was so cold that it made people feel frightened.
"They only rely on some skills, and they dare to act rampantly! Disobedience! Lawlessness! If it weren't for Taizu's edict, I would have tolerated them! ”
The eunuch bowed his body, cleaned up the folds in front of him for the emperor, and promised without repeating himself.
"Long live Lord, don't be angry for those fatherless and kingless things, it's not worth it."
He only said these two words over and over in his mouth, not because he didn't know how to persuade, on the contrary, at such a time, he knew that everything he said was wrong except for empty words.
Eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics, and today's majesty is a holy lord with big ideas, and in his capacity, if he crosses the line, he may be killed.
All he could do was wait for the emperor to calm the anger in his heart.
Fortunately, this emperor is not a lord who likes to anger people, and after getting angry, he sat on the dragon chair and slowly calmed down, picked up the fold and forcibly endured his anger and looked at it again.
The night is getting deeper.
The bright moon fell quietly through the gap between the windows into the mirror-like floor tiles of the imperial study, and the ground was divided into squares by fighting with the candle flames.
Goo Goo - Goo Goo - Goo Goo -
The unknown call of night birds can be heard from afar.
I don't know how long later, outside the partition of the imperial study, the figure of a small eunuch flashed softly.
The old eunuch frowned and glanced at the emperor, who had calmed down and was carefully watching the folds, and quietly retreated out of the imperial study.
A little eunuch outside the imperial study had an anxious look on his face, and whispered a few words in the old eunuch's ear.
The short and fat eunuch clenched the dust in his hand, and after a little hesitation, he walked back to the imperial study with a bitter face.
This time the emperor noticed his movements, but he didn't look up and still looked at the fold in his hand, and said.
"What's going on again?"
Only then did this question come out, and the short and fat eunuch knelt on the ground with a 'poof'.
"Long live the lord, just now someone from Yonghua Palace came to report and said...... Say ......"
He didn't say the rest of the words for a long time, the emperor was already in a bad mood tonight, and he was even more irritated by his stammering, so he threw the piece in his hand on the table and looked at the eunuch with a cold face.
"What do you have to say, what does it look like?"
Only then did the short and fat eunuch turn his heart sideways, his head hit the floor tiles, and he said in a trembling voice.
"The people from Yonghua Palace came to report that Ning Cairen was caught by Zhao Guifei for fornication, and at this moment those two people are being locked up in Yonghua Palace, Zhao Guifei asked Long Live Lord to show them, how to deal with these two people."
Whoa—
The old eunuch's voice fell, and the folds of a table were connected to the pen stand inkstone, and all of them fell in front of him, and two of them flew directly to his head.
was smashed twice, and the old eunuch didn't dare to raise his head, and his kneeling body became lower and lower.
Behind the desk, the emperor had a gloomy face, did not say a word, stood up and walked quickly outside the study.
The old eunuch also got up in a hurry, secretly shouted badly, and followed the emperor out of the imperial study.
In Yonghua Palace, the lights are bright at this time.
Zhao Guifei, who was over thirty years old, sat on the couch with an angry face in a regular dress, gently rubbing her temples.
In the courtyard outside the house knelt a young woman of about seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in a thin veil and with a pale face, and a young man dressed as a eunuch and his body trembling and straining to the ground like chaff.
"The emperor has arrived—"
An announcement was heard in the distance.
Hearing this, Zhao Guifei quickly stood up from the couch and walked quickly to the palace gate, and saw Gong E carrying two lanterns leading the emperor to walk in her direction.
Zhao Guifei bowed down from afar, and waited for the emperor to get closer before she spoke softly.
"Greetings to the Emperor."
The emperor walked up to her, and he had no intention of reaching out to help her, but he still pressed his temperament and made a casual movement to get up, and without saying a word, he walked quickly into Yonghua Palace with his feet raised.
The Emperor walked silently to the two men who were kneeling on the ground, raised his foot and kicked the young woman without warning.
Bang –
This kick was used with great force, and the woman was kicked and smashed to the ground and made a very loud sound, but she didn't dare to make a sound, and as soon as she stabilized her figure, she immediately got up and knelt again.
The emperor looked at her coldly, and it took a long time to raise his hand and point to the young man on the side, and his voice was cold.
"You, look up."
The young man fell to his knees and shook into a ball, his head not raised, but the cry began first.
"The emperor spares his life, it's her, yes, Ning Cairen seduces me, the emperor ......"
Before he finished speaking, the eunuch on the side had already walked up to him, grabbed his head by the collar, and slapped him twice by the way.
This was originally a man who looked delicate, had white skin, and looked refreshing, but at this moment, the man's face was snot and tears, his forehead was bruised and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot mixed with saliva, which looked extremely wretched.
The emperor glanced at it and found that it was an unknown face, only to feel distraught, and his eyes looked at Ning Cairen who was kneeling on the side again.
"You're just for this?"
Ning Cairen knelt on the ground, his body shook, and he spoke in a tone like ashes.
"It's the concubine who has been blinded, the concubine has failed the emperor, and the concubine deserves to die."
Listening to Ning Cairen's words, the emperor suddenly felt disheartened, and he no longer had the desire to interrogate, so he turned around gloomily.
"Pull it down and find out where this person comes from, who let him in! I'm going to be punished heavily! ”
Boom!
As soon as the Emperor's words fell, there was a burst of smoke around the young man who was paralyzed like mud on the ground.
When the smoke dissipated, there was no longer a young man in Yonghua Palace, only Ning Cairen was still dead and kneeling on the ground, listening to such movements, he did not move his body......
