Mobile phone synchronous reading, please visit
There was an air of despair in the dormitory of the Qiongtai Palace, and Bao Xi, who had survived from the border of death more than two months ago, had only been pushed into a situation of isolation and helplessness until this moment, like a hoarse cry in the wilderness, but he could only let himself fall into an endless state of exhaustion.
Ji Gongyan's moodiness is already a well-known thing in the whole dynasty, and his threat to Bao Xi with Twenty-Seven is not just a threat, Twenty-Seven is already the last fortress from which Bao Xi has no way to retreat, if even she is lost, she can't imagine what kind of sorrow and darkness her future will be passed away forever.
Bao Xi gritted her teeth, climbed up along Ji Gongyan's body, let go of the arrogant posture she had tried her best to maintain in the past, untied the clothes on her body for him, caressed his burning skin with her lips and tongue, and soothed her restless and anxious heart because of anger inch by inch.
Bao Xi's movements were slow and light, grinding away all the patience on Ji Gongyan's body, he pulled her over and pressed her on the bed, without all the premonitions, and went on a rampage, making her feel a tearing sensation from the bottom up, her hand tightly grasped the futon on the bed, biting her lower lip to prevent herself from making a little noise. Seeing such a compliment, Ji Gongyan felt more and more angry, and her movements became more and more violent and disorderly, making her whole body twist like a conditional launch, but she was pressed by Ji Gongyan's sturdy body, spreading her out to bear such pain and unbearable.
He thought that if she would say a word begging for mercy, he would let her go.
But she didn't, her stubbornness reached a point that he couldn't imagine, and this anger made neither of these two people feel even a little pleasure from it.
The person who was tortured was Bao Xi, but the person who admitted defeat was Ji Gongyan.
He stepped back from her body, the blood was soaked in the white bedding, scattered into red blood flowers, Ji Gongyan pulled over and threw his own clothes aside and put them on his body, looking down at her, "Don't think about dying, otherwise how can the widow do the worst to Twenty-seven." ”
Bao Xi looked at Ji Gongyan like a dead man, and there was no halo in his eyes.
"Do you think it's great not to be afraid of death?" Ji Gongyan looked at Bao Xi and asked, "There are a hundred ways for widows to make you more uncomfortable than death, don't try to live in a harem without widows, pleasing widows is the only thing you should do!" When he had said this, his clothes were fully dressed, he flicked his sleeves, looked at his appearance, and strode out of the dormitory, without even saying a word of comfort.
In Ji Gongyan's opinion, Bao Xi was originally a person who would never intersect with herself, but in order to save her father from entering the palace and became his woman, now her only purpose has been achieved, so she no longer has to bother to please her king, whether she is alive or dead has probably been put out of the way.
In fact, compared to the unbearable life, death is the easiest thing, maybe the praise who has gone through the ghost gate has long understood the stakes involved.
Ji Gongyan would never have been able to tell Bao Xi about the Bao family, but now that he was angry and robbed him of all his sanity, he said that, and he didn't feel the slightest guilt when he looked at her in a mess under him. She didn't make him feel guilty at all, he didn't know what a woman who didn't love him was worthy of his softness, he had tried to give her everything she wanted, but he now knew that maybe she wouldn't appreciate it in this life.
As for what he said to Zheng Boyou, because he didn't want to embarrass him, he chose to retreat step by step, he thought that it was just an unconvincing excuse. Everyone wants to look a little better than they really are, and Bao Xi is just an ordinary woman.
Maybe she never wanted his heart or his place, all she wanted was to prove herself.
He never thought about who she was fighting with, and he never thought about why she was so hard, and chose a way to live so hard.
Ji Gongyan stepped out of the Qiongtai Palace, and the night had gradually fallen.
The sky was slightly dark, and the candles in the palace were already burning, which made today's royal court look a little different from the past, people came and went, Situ dispatched all the people who were in charge of music to go to the front hall to play music and dance for the princes who were already sitting in the guest seats, Qi Bo asked Uncle Zhao who was sitting beside him a little restless at the moment, "Lord Shangqing, is this king coming or not?" ”
"What are you anxious about?" Uncle Zhao asked, his expression was very calm, "All the princes are here tonight, is it possible that the king will still be absent?" ”
"That's hard to say!" Qi Bo shook his head, he didn't know if others could do this matter, but Ji Gongyan's words, with his temperament, he was absent and absent, "I heard that the king went to Qiongtai Hall in the afternoon and never came out again, I'm afraid it's ......"
"Nonsense," Uncle Zhao scolded, "Bao Niangniang is in charge of the spirit card service in the ancestral hall, how is it possible?" ”
Qi Bo wiped the sweat from his forehead, and still felt that what others couldn't do didn't mean that Ji Gongyan couldn't do it, there were a total of three days before and after the ceremony, and tonight's dinner was just a routine hospitality for the princes, because Ji Gongyan didn't appear for a long time, and the work of presiding over the overall situation fell on Shen Hou's body, and he kept whispering urging the female palace around him to see where the king went, why hadn't he arrived at the front hall yet, and the time was not early at this time.
"The king has arrived!" The attendants on both sides of the hall shouted, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.
Ji Gongyan had a calm face, and walked towards the hall step by step, with an angry aura that did not retreat around his body, so that the princes on both sides were afraid, and even his breathing became cautious, and now that the two countries are at war, no one wants to lead the war from the Qi country on the edge of the Bohai Sea to themselves, and everyone bowed and said, "Long live my king." After that, they each bowed their heads and sat in their seats, looking at their noses and noses, and looking at their hearts, Ji Gongyan did not speak, and he never moved.
"The princes came to Haojing thousands of miles away, and the journey was tiring, and the widows set up a banquet here to catch the wind and wash the dust for the princes." Ji Gongyan sat in his seat, raised the wine vessel in his hand and drank it all, and all the princes followed with a drink.
During the banquet, the princes stood up in turn to toast Ji Gongyan, and several times Qi Bo also wanted to stand up but was held down by Uncle Zhao.
"Lord Shangqing, why are you doing this?" Qi Bo looked at Uncle Zhao and asked, "Could it be that my Qi country is implicated in the war, can't I be allowed to say a word?" ”
"Don't you see that the king is in a bad mood today?" Uncle Zhao said, "You embarrassed the king in front of all the princes in such a grand manner, do you think he can let you return to the Qi country as you wish?" It is better to wait for the banquet to disperse, and then you will talk to the king about this matter in private. ”
"Privately?" Qi Bo snorted coldly, "You have to have private time!" It's been more than three days since I entered Haojing, and I invite you to see the king every day, and I'm turned away every day......" He was halfway through his words, looked at Uncle Zhao and said, "Isn't it that Duke Zhao is now the position of Shangqing, and in order to keep his title, he forgot the original intention of being an official?" ”
"Qi Bo......" Uncle Zhao wanted to give another advice, but Qi Bo didn't give him this opportunity, he stood up straight and looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "King Qiqi, the ministers have something to do!" ”
"Today's banquet is to entertain the princes who have come from thousands of miles to Haojing, and there is something to discuss tomorrow morning." Ji Gongyan looked at Qi Bo and said, leaning lazily on his chair, he didn't move his chopsticks to eat a bite of food from beginning to end, he kept drinking, and his face was flushed after drinking.
"I'm afraid that Weichen can't wait!" Qi Bo said, "Now that my Qi country is at war with Dongyi, I am only afraid that Qi has no generals and no one can lead the army to resist, so I ask the king for permission to return to Qi and lead the generals of Qi to resist foreign invasion!" ”
"Qi Bo doesn't have to worry," Ji Gongyan waved his hand, "The widow has already made arrangements for you, and now the army of Zheng State has arrived in the territory of your Qi State and taken over the military power of Qi State with the widow's documents." Zheng Qizhi is leading his troops to fight against Dongyi, although Qi Bo is at ease to participate in the ceremony of worshipping the heavens in my pickaxe capital, the princes are all your old friends, and now it is rare to gather together, why don't you take this opportunity to reminisce about the past? After he finished speaking, he laughed, and several princes who were doing it had no choice but to echo and said, "Zheng Guo has always been full of talents, Qi Bo is assured to participate in the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens here, if Zheng Guo is defeated in the near future, we are willing to lead the army to Qi to resist the invasion of Dongyi!" ”
Among the princes present, only Zheng Boyou poured himself a drink, neither looking up at Ji Gongyan nor looking at Qi Bo, he wanted to stay out of the matter and constantly dilute his sense of existence.
Qi Bo almost flipped the table in front of him, slapped the table and shouted at the few people opposite, "It's not you waiting for the territory to be invaded now, talking such nonsense. After that, he looked at Ji Gongyan and said, "The king, please forgive me for speaking bluntly, that Zheng Guo Zheng Qizhi is just a pampered sick young master, if it is a marching formation, he will be able to talk eloquently, and there is no doubt about it; But if it is really on the battlefield, this kind of white-faced scholar must be unreliable, and it is a hand-to-hand fight of life and death to kill the enemy. He also asked the king to be sympathetic to the people of Qi and let Weichen return to Dongyi to lead the army. ”
Ji Gongyan squinted his eyes and looked Qi Bo up and down, "I don't know if the widow has since been, Qi Bo has also become a general who leads the army to fight?" Today's Qi country is so short of talents, has it reached the point where Qi Bo personally went into battle to kill the enemy? ”
Qi Bo's hands were clenched tightly together, staring at Ji Gongyan, without the slightest fear, "Dongyi has been at odds with my Great Zhou for hundreds of years, and as the head of the Qi country, I will definitely protect the country with death!" Even if you go into battle to kill the enemy, why not engage in hand-to-hand combat? He said bold words, full of enthusiasm, if it weren't for this situation, this scene would definitely win the applause of the whole house, but it is a pity that the current gathering in this hall are just some spectators who have no urgent urgency, waiting for how the plot will develop, they hold their breath and concentrate, and the hall is extremely quiet.
"It's rare for the princes to gather together, we might as well say something happy," Ji Gongyan yawned, looked at Qi Bo and said, "These beating, killing, unlucky, don't say it!" He waved his hand, and insisted on pressing the topic of Qi Bo, and everyone looked at Qi Bo who was angry, for fear that he would turn the table on the spot without giving Ji Gongyan face.
