Chapter 266: This heart is ruthless, and it is difficult to find it in the world
Bao Xi subconsciously brushed the hair in her ears, she met Ji Gongyan's gaze, with an imperceptible smile on her face, bowed slightly, and then asked, "King?" She stared at the food box in his hand, and for some reason, she waited for Ji Gongyan to speak with a suspicious look on her face.
"Tomorrow morning, I will go to Dazai Palace to help my mother spread the word!" Ji Gongyan looked at Xiren and ordered, Xiren nodded and retreated, letting the entire hall out, Bao Xi took two steps in the direction of Ji Gongyan, and suddenly stopped, she didn't know what to say to him. It turned out to be so strange after a long absence, she looked at him and sighed slightly.
"Hungry, aren't you?" Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and asked, put the food box on the table, sat down on the chair, and stretched out his hand to ask Bao Xi to sit down, "Taste it, taste and discord?" ”
"The King?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan a little puzzled, sat down opposite him, picked up the chopsticks on the food box, just some porridge side dishes, the taste is extraordinarily light, but this porridge must have been boiled for a long time, the fragrance is overflowing, with chicken soup under the rice, the meat flavor invades the rice, the rice fragrance stays in the broth, the two complement each other, complement each other, exude a mouth-watering temptation, Bao Xi took a sip, the aroma came to the nose, wrapped the taste buds, she swallowed the porridge in her mouth and asked, "There is King Lao." ”
"I'm afraid that those chefs don't cook it to your taste, so they cook it yourself." Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and said, she didn't know that he still had such skills, she lowered her head and said softly, "The gentleman is far away from cooking, and the king's good intentions are upset." ”
"It's worth it to do anything for you," Ji Gongyan smiled slightly, stretched out his hand to grab Bao Xi's delicate hand, she pulled her hand back with force, and then he looked at her and sighed, "If Uncle Zheng doesn't say it, the widow won't know that you have done so many things for the widow!" ”
"Harem girl, born and paid here, everything should be done." Bao Xi bowed her head and said, "The king doesn't have to mind, now that the king has made me a queen, the queen should always be a queen." Withstand gossip and stormy waves. The day before yesterday, I think about it now, it is too hypocritical, and I hope that the king will forgive me and forgive him for the crime of disrespect. ”
Bao Xi accepted the throne, but she did not accept the king, this Ji Gongyan knew in her heart, like Coptis in her mouth, and the bitter taste of choking spread. Maybe Bao Xi didn't know that after she left the palace with Zheng Boyou that day, she had accepted this man from the bottom of her heart, and she had already accepted such a fate when she was forced to be taken out of the palace by him, and decided to go with him for the rest of her life. The only pity is that the siege of Ho Jingcheng and Bao Hongde exposed the lie of their fake death, which made Yi Jiu anxious to search the two, and Bao Xi knew in her heart that the two of them must not be able to escape if they were tied together.
She handed over her body to him, which was a kind of promise and gratitude, and then left the hiding place to find Qin Hou to trade, not thinking about doing anything for the king anymore, but to keep Uncle Zheng, a dignified seven-foot man, determined to be lofty, and to be a daughter, they should not be tied up. Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi's eyes, he found that she didn't know herself, he wouldn't tell her these things, since she chose to stay, there were countless possibilities between them.
The position of queen is not praised, and no one can take it.
"If the widow had come back a little earlier, these things could have been avoided," Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and said, "The things that were delivered to you that day, the widow didn't expect it to be such a huge burden, the widow looked at you too strongly, thinking that you couldn't bear anything, and it won't be in the future." ”
Bao Xi shook her head, "Now that Bao Xi is still alive, it's not too late." ”
"When the widow was trapped in Daze, he dreamed of you one night." Ji Gongyan said, his eyes drifted into the distance, Bao Xi repeated the name of the place in his mouth, and asked puzzledly, "Daze?" ”
"In the northern part of Dongyi, there is a place called Daze. On the same day, the widow and Zheng Qizhi captured the capital of Dongyi and did not find the Dongyi monarch, and someone came to report that the Dongyi monarch had fled to the land of Daze. In order to grab the first credit, the widow led a team of soldiers and horses to Daze to pursue the Dongyi monarch, and Zheng Qizhi stayed in the city to collect the Dongyi capital and soldiers and horses, but he didn't expect that this matter was the plan of Dongyi, Daze is a chaotic land, just like the fog blocking the way, ghosts and ghosts, our army is trapped in Daze, camped, and cannot come out. Ji Gongyan explained to Bao Xi, "I didn't realize that I was highly poisoned at that time, and on the fifteenth day, the poison was near death, and someone saved me." ”
"A woman?" Bao Xi asked.
Ji Gongyu nodded, "It's a woman!" ”
Bao Xi responded, "In this way, the king is also supposed to allow her to be his wife, and now that I am the master of the harem, I should meet her." ”
"This person ......" Ji Gongyan hesitated for a long time, not knowing whether to say or not, "You can avoid it, it's best to avoid it." ”
"Why?" I don't know why.
Ji Gongyan said, "She can detoxify, she can use poison, stay away and be careful, it's always good." ”
"Since she can use poison, I am afraid that it is impossible to prevent it, and it is better to open the city gate to greet her, but it will make people have nowhere to stay," replied Bao Xi, who guessed that this woman was the person she had seen in her dream that night, and although she was a little unhappy in her heart, there was no expression on her face, "shall you bring her to see me another day?" ”
"It's okay," Ji Gongyan had to say, "She is the younger sister of Chuhou Xiongyi, and her name is Xiong Ning." ”
"Xiong Ning?" Bao Xi felt that this name was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of anything else for a while, "Chu Hou's sister is not small. The king is now reusing the state of Chu, but borrowing Chu to fight Qin? ”
"That's right," Ji Gong nodded.
"The king is not afraid to lure the wolf into the house?" Bao Xi asked, this was the case with Qin Qi that day, and it also caused the disaster of destroying the city, and now I am afraid that the consequences will be incalculable, and this matter needs to be further investigated.
"The lead is the lead, this emperor's order is determined by heaven!" Ji Gong said.
"Why is the king so negative?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "The king was originally a person who did not believe in the destiny of heaven. ”
Ji Gongyan shook his head, showing a helpless expression in his smile, "Xiong Ning is not Chu Hou's biological sister, but if you want to be named a lady, you must have a suitable birth, and you want to come...... There was no Chu Ji in the widow's palace, so Xiong Yi recognized this sister. ”
"This isn't the first time the king has used this trick." Bao Xi paused for a moment, understood, and nodded.
"There are some things that the widow wants to tell you rather than you hear from others in the future," said Ji Gongyan, "and he took a sip from his cup, and felt that he was very nervous. ”
Bao Xi saw it in her eyes, felt pity in her heart, wanted to stretch out her hand to hold him, wanted to snuggle in his arms, but she couldn't do it, and finally just said stiffly, "Please speak, king." ”
"Xiong Ning's real name is Jiang Huachen, and she is the daughter of Qi Chenggong." Ji Gongyan told Bao Xi about the matter, and Bao Xi was stunned when she heard the name, "Huachen? Huachen of Huachen Palace? ”
"Yes!" Ji Gong nodded.
"But Huachen Hall was built in the period of the first king, and this Jiang Huachen should be the same age as the king, right?" Bao Xi is a little uneasy, such an important woman is afraid that she also occupies the most important position in Ji Gongyan's heart, if so, she will definitely be defeated, Bao Xi seems to have no care about Ji Gongyan's sole favorite, but her mind is also very careful, so that the price she can pay is the status of Sheng Ji's honor.
"Yes, that hall is also a widow," Ji Gongyan nodded, "Jiang Huachen is the daughter of Qi Chenggong in his later years, and Qi Chenggong's wife is Wang Ji, known as a jealous father. At that time, Qi Chenggong mistakenly believed his wife's slander and burned Huachen's mother alive. After her death, Qi Chenggong realized that this matter may not be related to Huachen's mother, for fear that his wife would be so cruel to the young Huachen, so he entrusted Huachen to his father early and fostered him in Chencang Mountain. ”
"Emperor Yan once tasted a hundred herbs, but unfortunately most of the handwriting has been lost, Huachen is the true inheritance so that he can solve the poison of the king's body?" Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan and asked, that day he heard from Uncle Zheng that Ji Gongyan was highly poisoned, but now he returned safely, there must be a reason for it.
Ji Gong nodded.
Bao Xi sighed, "In this way, it can be regarded as the Heavenly Blessing King." ”
"It's not simple," Ji Gongyan took Bao Xi's hand and clenched it tightly in the palm of his hand, as if he was worried that she would leave once she let go, "Jiang Huachen reached the age of marriage, and his father brought her into the palace, because Mrs. Qi was favored, his father has always regarded Huachen as his own, and the widow and Huachen are like sisters." When she was older, Mrs. Qi became more and more favored, to the point where the queen mother could not tolerate it. ”
"So the Queen Mother wants to get rid of Mrs. Qi?" Bao Xi asked, she knew a little about this matter, except for Mrs. Qi's method was to order Qi Chenggong to lead troops to fight in Dongyi, but this battle was defeated, Qi Chenggong was poisoned and died, and Da Zhou was damaged, this matter caused even Mrs. Qi, and she was angry in the palace in a few days, "Fake Jiang Huachen's hand?" Bao Xi asked in surprise.
"That's right," Ji Gong nodded.
"The concubine heard that Qi Chenggong was poisoned and died to cause the Qi army to be damaged, so the disagreement between Qi and the DPRK has been a long-standing feud, could it be ...... This Qi Chenggong also died at the hands of Jiang Huachen? Bao Xi felt unbelievable, she thought that she was like a rock, but when she killed Bao Hongde, she still hesitated again and again before telling him to flee again and again, which caused too much unnecessary trouble to herself, and Jiang Huachen was able to make a move on her father, this heart is so ruthless, I am afraid that there are few people in the world who are the best.
