60: A bet

No one could have imagined that when the queen saw Ling Ziling, the first thing she said was to ask her why she hadn't committed suicide. In an instant, Ling Ziling's small body couldn't help but tremble violently, her face turned pale and pale, and she felt as if there were a thousand huge stones, pressing her back, so that she couldn't even breathe.

"Queen Mother, please forgive the sons and daughters for asking more, why did Ling Ziling commit suicide with her innocent body?"

Xiao Sheng raised his head and used a clear voice to break the tense atmosphere in the warm pavilion, which was almost frozen. In an instant, the rest of the people in the warm pavilion looked sideways. Liu Gonggong's eyes were full of disdain, sarcasm, and banter. And Prince Xian's eyes were full of uneasiness and worry. As for Ling Ziling, her eyes were already full of tears.

The queen also glanced at Xiao Sheng, and said slowly: "Old Fourteen, you feel very dissatisfied and want to speak for the remnants of this Spirit Sect?"

As soon as these words came out, Prince Xian and Gonggong Liu couldn't help but feel a chill on their backs. Beads of sweat the size of soybeans oozed from the corners of his forehead. Especially Prince Xian, he couldn't wait to rush forward and cover Xiao Sheng's mouth with all his might, preventing him from speaking again.

Xiao Sheng bowed his head slightly and said, "Erchen doesn't dare." However, the court has rules and never kills innocent people. Erchen dared to ask, what crime did Ling Ziling commit?"

The queen smiled lightly and said leisurely: "Back then, Ling Zhiling was so rebellious that she dared to assassinate the emperor, which was the first crime; Although my Dahao Dynasty ruled the country by law, it also ruled the country with filial piety. Mother's sin and daughter's compensation, heaven and earth. Ling Ziling not only inherited the responsibility of the deceased mother, but instead used the fox to charm the lord and seduce the righteous qihou, which led to the ruin of the righteous qihou and shook the stable overall situation of 'the famine is ruled by the desolate people, and it will not change for a hundred years', which is the third crime.

With these three sins in her body, if Ling Ziling still has a little conscience, she should immediately commit suicide to atone for her previous sins. If you are afraid of death and greedy for life, can you escape your responsibility?"

Xiao Sheng raised his eyebrows upwards and argued: "Governing the country with filial piety only advocates filial piety, not mandatory. In the law of the Dahao Dynasty, there is no saying that the mother sins and the child must pay for his life. Moreover, Ling Ziling was kidnapped by Niu Lao, and she was the victim. Niu Lao's disgrace was caused by himself, but he couldn't blame other innocent people. ”

The queen gracefully picked up the tea cup placed next to her and gently flicked the tea leaves floating on it. While blowing cool air with his gorgeous and plump lips, he said leisurely: "Oh, the fourteenth emperor." According to what you say, it means that this palace is wrong, this palace has wronged Ling Ziling, and this palace is making trouble unreasonably?"

Although the tone is light, the voice is even more pleasant. But when everyone present heard this, they all subconsciously felt that their hairs stood on end and their scalps exploded. Only Xiao Sheng is the only exception. He looked directly into the queen's eyes and said in a deep voice: "Erchen doesn't dare to be presumptuous. Erchen is just judging things by facts. As for the merits, people in the world have their own opinions. ”

"Judge things by facts? Who will judge things with you? And the queen? Do you have the qualifications? Old fourteen, what stupid are you doing? In front of the queen, the people of the world are a fart!" Prince Xian secretly lamented loudly. He had already heard it clearly. It doesn't matter what one crime is or what crime is two. The queen wanted Ling Ziling to commit suicide, and the real reason was the third sin.

The five marquis of the Eastern Wilderness were all drawn by the queen. The policy of "the famine is cured by the famine, and it will remain unchanged for a hundred years" was also proposed by the queen. Now that the righteous Hou Niu Lao is ruined and killed, it is like a slap in the face of the queen.

Although the queen had a good approach, she suppressed it forcefully before the situation deteriorated, and finally stabilized the situation. But such a bad breath, even ordinary people can hardly swallow it, let alone the queen, the queen opened her mouth to ask Ling Ziling to commit suicide, which is already considered to be in the face of the Eight Sages King, and it is very polite. Otherwise, directly order the subordinates to drag Ling Ziling out and kill him with a cane, where does Ling Ziling have the ability to resist?

Xiao Sheng was brought over by Prince Xian. But Xiao Sheng continued to contradict the queen like this, in case the queen was angered, maybe it would also affect Prince Xian himself. In desperation, Prince Xian had no choice but to stand up and play a round.

Prince Xian accompanied the smiling face, bowed and said, "Queen Mother, please calm your anger." That's not what Old Fourteen meant. Actually, alas~ Although Miss Ling Ziling has a big sin, she should indeed commit suicide immediately to atone for her previous sorrows. However, her time was running out anyway. The queen mother is merciful, so let her be spared for the time being. ”

"Oh, time is short?" the queen put down the teacup, turned her eyes, and asked, "What's the matter?"

The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sect conceived the Nether Bead with her own body. If the bead does not leave the body, it will continue to absorb the vitality of the mother, and eventually cause the mother to die due to the loss of vitality. However, if the Nether Bead is separated from the mother's body, the mother's vitality source will suffer irreparable serious damage, and in the end, it will not survive for more than a year. Therefore, the Holy Daughter of the Spirit Sect, who was chosen as the pregnant mother, never lived past the age of twenty.

Ling Ziling, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Sect of this generation, has been refining the Nether Bead since she was still in her mother's womb. So far, eighteen years ago, the beads have been conceived and matured, and they can be "ripe and falling" at any time. At that time, Ling Ziling can only live for another year at most, and she will die.

Xiao Sheng had told Prince Xian about the above information before. Of course, in order to win the Netherworld Pearl, it is necessary for the Mother of Pearl to obtain the man's pure Yang Yuan Essence as a prerequisite. This matter was a little embarrassing, Xiao Sheng didn't say anything. Now Prince Xian is 1510, telling everything he knows.

After the queen listened, Yurong smiled lightly. Xiang Ling Ziling asked lightly: "Is this really the case, is there nothing wrong?"

Ling Ziling lowered her head and looked at the floor and said in a low voice, "Yes." The people did not dare to deceive the queen. ”

"Alas~ In this way, you are also a poor child. The queen sighed softly, but her smile remained unchanged, and she asked lightly, "So, when will the Nether Bead mature and can be removed?"

Ling Ziling agreed in a low voice: "In a few days, the people's daughter can't say." But...... It's probably around the mother's birthday. ”

The queen bowed her head slightly and said with a smile: "Okay." Since your time is running out, then this palace will not pursue your three major crimes. After a pause, he shouted, "Little Yunzi." ”

Liu Qingyun took half a step forward respectfully, bent down and said, "The slave is here." Mother, please command. ”

The queen said lightly: "Pass the decree and let the four marquis of the Eastern Wilderness get ready." Half a month later, at the birthday banquet of the main palace, let them each send one person as a representative to come out to compete. The winner rewarded the Nether Orb and married Ling Ziling. People get two things, and good things come in pairs. ”

As soon as these words came out, all of a sudden, everyone present was taken aback. Ling Ziling shouted in a lost voice: "Ying, Ying, Marry, but the queen's mother, the people's daughter...... Folk Girl ......"

The queen said with a pleasant face, and said slowly: "Your time is short, if you don't even have a person around you to see you off before you die, wouldn't it be desolate? You are young and have never enjoyed the joy of family in your life, so you are so alone, wouldn't it be a pity? The four marquis of the Eastern Wilderness sent representatives to compete in front of the emperor, and the winner will definitely be a hero." Having such a hero of the Eastern Wilderness as your husband, even if it's only for a year, it's your luck. ”

After a pause, the queen smiled again: "Ling Ziling, this palace said these words for your own good." You can't help but appreciate it. ”

Ling Ziling's heart was in turmoil, obviously she didn't want to, but the queen had said it to this point, what else could she do? If she insisted on refusing, it would definitely anger the queen, and when the time came, where would she have her good fruit to eat? But if you say yes...... Ling Ziling finally came out of the tiger and wolf's den in the Eastern Wilderness, how could she still be willing to go back?

"Haha, Queen Mother, are you joking?

Xiao Sheng smiled slightly, took half a step forward, and said, "It is really touching that the queen mother thinks about Miss Ziling like this. However, if you want to talk about heroes, Erchen feels that the world is big, and the place with the most heroes is none other than Zhonghuan and Luo Jing. As for the Eastern Wilderness...... Haha, not afraid to boast. Their so-called heroes, I'm afraid that even Erchen, the deposed prince, can't compare to it. ”

The queen raised her eyes, glanced at Xiao Sheng again, and said lightly: "Old Fourteen, the palace has also heard about the recent incident between you and Lao Jiu." The nickname of the abolished prince who chews the root of the tongue can't be deducted from you. But you also have to know. Dingyuanhou's level of ability is nothing at all. If you think that you are really invincible in the world, hehe, old fourteen, you are still tender. ”

"Erchen naturally didn't dare to say anything invincible in the world. However, in the wilderness, Erchen really didn't take them seriously. Xiao Sheng's demeanor seemed to be very modest, but his words were very tight, and he didn't back down even a step.

The queen stared at Xiao Sheng with both eyes, and after a long time, she suddenly smiled. said: "Hehe, old fourteen, your temper is printed in the same mold as the Mu family's sister." If you don't hit the south wall, you won't turn back no matter what. Well, since you're so confident, do you dare to make a bet with Hongu?"

Xiao Sheng smiled calmly: "The queen mother has orders, and there is nothing disobeyed by the sons." ”

The queen picked up the teacup again and took a sip. said indifferently: "Old Fourteen, you should be sixteen years old next year, right? At this age, according to the rules of the ancestors, you can no longer stay in the palace, you can move out and build a mansion by yourself."

In this way, this palace allows you to participate in a competition to win pearls on top of the birthday banquet. If you can really defeat all the representatives of the four marquis of the Eastern Wilderness, not only the Spirit Ziling and the Netherworld Bead will belong to you. The palace also gave you a kingdom as a fief.

But if you are defeated...... Old Fourteen, you can go to Zhongdu to cultivate your mind and temperament for a while. Wait until this impetuous mind is smoothed out, and it's not too late to come back. ”

It turns out that the so-called Zhongdu is the location of the ancestral mausoleum of the Dahao Dynasty. Going to the capital to cultivate one's mind and temperament is to be assigned to guard the mausoleum, which is equivalent to being imprisoned in disguise. What can come back after smoothing out the mind, it's all nonsense. It is conceivable that if Xiao Sheng is really sent to guard the mausoleum, then even if he dies of old age, it will never be possible to wait for the appearance of the edict to return to Beijing.
