Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi in the mirror, smiled slightly, stood behind her and took out a comb from his arms and gently combed her hair, this action frightened Bao Xi, her person sat forward in shock, and her body became a little stiff, "Uncle Zheng!" She exclaimed in a very serious voice, "You have exceeded the rules. ”

"I bought it outside the city, I think it is very worthy of you," Zheng Boyou said, he handed the comb in his hand to Bao Xi, it was made of brass, with hollow carvings on it, and the inside was inlaid with precious stones and jasper, Bao Xi took it in his hand and asked, "When did you see that this palace likes such complicated things?" ”

"Your dagger." Zheng Boyou said.

Bao Xi looked at the comb on the table, even if this comb was bought by chance, Bao Xi couldn't believe it, copper products are not like other things, ordinary people can't afford to do it at all, not to mention that this kind of hollow process can't be carved later, it can only be cast in the early stage, and it can be done at one time, so don't look at this small copper comb, the process is very complicated, "Uncle Zheng still gives it to Twenty-seven, right?" Or the eldest lady, give it to the palace, I'm afraid it's not suitable. ”

"You take it," Zheng Boyou said, and put it on the table, "Qi Ji won't marry into the palace again." ”

"I know," Bao Xi nodded.

"You already knew?" Zheng Boyou asked.

"Of course, it's later than Uncle Zheng," Bao Xi suddenly stood up and looked at Zheng Boyou, "The king said that Qi Ji died because of the water and soil, in this case, I wanted to persuade the king to marry Qi Ji with good intentions, but I didn't want to become a move to harm her now!" ”

"Died of unadaptability?" Zheng Boyou sneered, "I saw someone stabbing Qi Ji with a dagger, do you know what kind of dagger it is?" He looked at Bao Xi and asked, this question made Bao Xi feel shocked, subconsciously stepped back, and shook his head.

"It's like this comb, full of precious stones and jasper! This was originally a congratulatory gift I planned to give to Qi Ji for her new marriage, but now, you can keep it! Zheng Boyou's voice said in a low voice, but Bao Xi felt that someone grabbed her throat and couldn't speak, the dagger was found in the king's tunnel, if the murderer was not the king, it must be someone in the palace, she calmed down, looked at Zheng Boyou and pursed her lips slightly, "Who did you talk to about this?" ”

"No one," Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and said, "I just want to hear what you have to say?" ”

"As you can see, I have nothing to say," Bao said.

"Since you can't tolerate her, why did you persuade the king to marry her that day?" Zheng Boyou looked at Bao Xi and asked.

"Otherwise, how could this palace get the Qi country?" Bao Xi looked at Zheng Boyou and said, "If I don't go to Qi State, who will protect me if Mrs. Richu deals with me?" ”

Zheng Boyou took a deep breath and nodded slightly, "In front of you, I'm so useless?" ”

"Yes!" Bao Xi nodded, "Isn't it?" You can't even deal with a mere Zheng Qizhi, and you don't dare to dig up a sudden son, in this case, I naturally want to find another ally, and if necessary, I can show softness to Bao Hongde! ”

"Praise Hongde!" Zheng Boyou's hands were clenched tightly together, and then slammed them on the table, "What did he do to you, you actually ......"

"Forced by the situation, Uncle Zheng also needs to see the situation clearly!" Bao Xi didn't look at Zheng Boyou talking, but tied his hair in a bun to himself in the mirror, smeared rouge, soaked his lips red, put on earrings, and then put the jasper bead hairpin on his head, and returned the copper comb to Zheng Bo's hand, "Now that this palace is a country, it is no longer the woman who did not even have a title back then, Zheng Bo does not care about your safety, but also takes into account the future of this palace, your gift will not be accepted by this palace, what you are unwilling to do, this palace will do it for you!" She stretched out her hand and looked at Zheng Boyou, "Uncle Zheng, please!" ”

Zheng Boyou stared blankly at the comb in his hand and nodded, "Niangniang has changed." ”

"People will become, this palace is also forced to be helpless, if you want to live, you always have to have some means, in this world, you don't treat people well, people will treat you well!" Bao Xi sneered, his eyes were full of cold expressions, this kind of Bao Xi Zheng Boyou is too unfamiliar, Rao is heavy makeup can't get rid of the level difference that rejects people thousands of miles away, he came out of Bao Xi's room, walked out quickly, this heart fell to a low place, and shattered.

Bao Xi took out her dagger, looked at it carefully for a long time, and didn't know who forged this dagger? There was no mark left on it, so I had to wait for a while for Ji Gong to come back and ask again.

The confrontation between Ji Gongyan and Wen Shuo made him very dissatisfied, Wen Shuo recommended Bao Hongde as a general to Ji Gongyan several times, and Qi Bo who was present was eager to please Bao Xi, so he naturally spoke for Wen Shuo, and the two strongly persuaded Ji Gongyan to use Bao Hongde as a general and lead the Qin soldiers to fight in the north of Jin. Wen Shuo and Qi Bo glanced at each other, and Wen Shuo asked puzzledly, "Why is this king reluctant to use Bao Hongde?" ”

"I'm afraid that he won't worry about him leading troops to fight in northern Jin, right? After all, this person used to be loyal to Qin Hou, what if he defected? Qi Bowu guessed to himself, this made Wen Shuo shake his head, feeling that this must not be the reason, "I'm afraid that this matter will have to be considered in the long run, if it returns to the pickaxe capital, it can be supported by Zhao Shangqing and Yu Shangqing, and the king still has to use praise Hongde." ”

"That's exactly what I thought!" Zieber nodded, brushing his beard.

Since Zheng Boyou left, Bao Xi became more and more worried in her heart, since this dagger was found in the tunnel of Huachen Hall and Qiongtai Palace, that is to say, this dagger is likely to have something to do with Jiang Huachen, that is, Mrs. Chu, if so, the person who went to Zheng Di to kill Qi Ji was also sent by Mrs. Chu, and the assassination of the accompanying army must have a great relationship with Mrs. Chu, and Bao Xi suspected that Zheng Qizhi was colluding with Mrs. Chu...... Zheng Qizhi killed Qi Ji? Bao Xi was shocked but shook his head, there is another possibility: the king killed Qi Ji with his own hands!

Bao Xi didn't dare to doubt Ji Gongyan anymore, and decided to ask the dagger about it clearly, if Mrs. Chu really colluded with Zheng Qizhi, then Zheng Qizhi was definitely not the most suitable person to go to the north of Jin, the Jin State now has a good relationship with Zheng Qizhi, and then Zheng Qizhi has won the trust of the Chu State, then Zheng Guo will really run through the north and south, and the entire west is only the weak Great Zhou Dynasty and the Qin State that has just been in the change of power, the two big countries, and the rest of the small countries are all gathered together and are not the opponents of the three kingdoms of Jin, Zheng and Chu. The state of Qi was isolated in the east, and had just suffered from the war, so I was afraid that it would not be able to help the DPRK.

Zheng Qizhi's ambition is not only in Zheng Guo, but in the world.

Bao Xi felt extremely frightened by this discovery, which meant that sending Zheng Guo to send troops or Chu to send troops was basically the same result. Bao Hongde's move must go, she thought of this and immediately brought a bamboo slip to write a letter to Yu Shi's father and Uncle Zhao, who were far away in the court, asking the two to recommend Bao Hongde as the general who led the army this time. The messenger Xiuxiu sent it out, and Bao Xi noticed that her hands were full of cold sweat, and she sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at herself with heavy makeup in the mirror, feeling uneasy, the country of the Great Zhou Dynasty is really never at peace.

Ji Gongyan came back from the front hall, and was angry, when he heard the footsteps of the king, Bao Xi got up and turned to Ji Gongyan, "The king is back?" ”

Bao Xi's appearance startled Ji Gongyan, "You...... Why do you dress up like this? ”

"Me?" Bao Xi pointed to himself and asked suspiciously, then looked at himself in the mirror, suddenly laughed, and turned to Ji Gongyan, "Uncle Zheng came to pay his respects in the morning, and I cleaned up a little to receive the queen, the queen is no better than the woman who did not have the throne at the beginning, it is not good to meet the minister at will, right?" ”

Ji Gongyan laughed out loud and pinched Bao Xi's nose, "The widow almost thought that the widow had entered the wrong house. ”

"King," Bao Xi suddenly changed his tone and called out seriously, which made Ji Gongyan frown, as soon as he heard this tone, he knew that Bao Xi was going to talk to himself about something serious, once he opened his mouth to say something serious, there would often be disputes, today he had suffered a stomach for Bao Hongde's matter, if Bao Xi mentioned it again at this moment, he didn't dare to say how he would answer, fortunately, Bao Xi was not going to say about this matter, but took out a dagger, "Does the king remember who this dagger was given to?" ”

"How could you have such a thing?" Ji Gongyan took the dagger from Bao Xi's hand, looked at it carefully and asked, Bao Xi returned truthfully, "On that day, Zhao Shangqing transferred Bao Hongde to the internal post as a guard with a knife, and threatened the concubine three or four times, so he had no choice but to go to the king's tunnel to find this thing for self-defense, but it also has some effect, if the king thinks it is not suitable, this dagger concubine will be returned to the king." She handed the dagger to Ji Gongyan with both hands, Ji Gongyan took the dagger back, pulled out the blade and put it back, sighing, "This dagger is not suitable for you, and the widow will make another one for you another day?" ”

Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and nodded, "King Xie, I just don't know who made this dagger?" ”

"Jiang Huachen," Ji Gongyan didn't hide his praise, "When the queen mother was able to get rid of Mrs. Qi, she sent someone to cast a reward for Jiang Huachen and the widow, and we each have one, this one is the widow, and her other is in her hands." ”

Bao Xi was shocked in her heart, and her face turned pale.

Ji Gongyan held Bao Xi's waist and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"The one who killed Qi Ji, and Mrs. Chu...... I'm afraid it has something to do with it! Bao Xi said, the fact that she least wanted was verified, this made Ji Gongyan also feel a pang in his heart, no matter what, he refused to believe that Zheng Qizhi would betray him, and at this moment, the naked facts are in front of him, Bao Xi will not talk nonsense at will, if Mrs. Chu is related to Qi Ji's death, is it difficult...... Mrs. Chu, Jin Bo and Zheng Qizhi have all reached a line?
