Chapter 223: The Ceremony of Worshipping the Heavens

"In this way, I have to thank Uncle Huang for my mother." Zhao Chengxi's words were quite gnashing his teeth. This person is not ambitious, but he still has to whitewash a layer of hypocritical kindness on it, which is really disgusting.

Zhao Chengxi was originally worried about whether he and his mother really had anything, but now it seems that it is really unfounded. How could the queen mother take a fancy to such a despicable villain.

Zhao Zhangmou turned a deaf ear to the ridicule in Zhao Chengxi's tone, and said on another topic: "Speaking of which, I didn't expect Your Majesty and Cheng Que to have a fate, and Cheng Que respects Your Majesty very much." ”

It's a lie to me.

The corners of Zhao Chengxi's mouth raised a trace of arc of unknown meaning: "It is indeed fate." However, I used the prince to infiltrate the palace, but I am afraid that the prince is holding a grudge. ”

Zhao Zhangmou saw that Zhao Chengxi didn't enter the oil and salt, and he didn't want to bother to speak: "Since Your Majesty is here, you will live well in the palace, as long as Your Majesty is obedient, don't make trouble, and when the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is over, this king will arrange a good way out for Your Majesty." ”

"In this way, I have thanked the imperial uncle."

Zhao Zhangmou didn't take Zhao Chengxi's yin and yang weird reply to heart. He didn't think that Zhao Chengxi would be stupid enough to fall into the net, he had to let people take a good look at her.

--

Zhao Chengxi didn't expect that the first person to come to her was Ah Jing.

"Ah Jing, long time no see." Zhao Chengxi was very calm when he saw Ah Jing again.

"Your Majesty, Ajent has come to plead guilty." Ah Jing bowed his head and knelt at the foot of the hall.

"Please? What are you guilty of? If so, I am not your master, and I am not qualified to blame you. Zhao Chengxi spoke lightly, without sadness or anger.

"Ah Jing does not ask His Majesty for forgiveness, but His Majesty rewards him, Ah Jing is ashamed and dare not accept it, and asks His Majesty to take it back." Ah Jing presented a long brocade box with both hands.

Zhao Chengxi took the brocade box and opened it, and it was indeed the jade silver hairpin inside.

Zhao Chengxi picked up the silver hairpin, and the jadeite inlaid on it was crystal clear in the sun, and the jade color was dripping.

Zhao Chengxi rubbed the fine jadeite, and the slightest coolness seeped from his fingertips to his heart.

The human heart is flesh and blood, how can it really be unfelt when betrayed by this.

After a long sigh, Zhao Chengxi said slowly: "Ah Jing, now that the matter is over, why don't you tell me what you have done." ”

It seemed that he didn't expect Zhao Chengxi to make such a request, and after being silent for a long time, Ah Jing said: "That assassination was not to take Your Majesty's life, but to let your subordinates save Your Majesty so that they can stay by Your Majesty's side." ”

Zhao Chengxi's eyelids narrowed slightly, the scene of the assassination was still vivid, and Ah Jing saved her at the last moment, it turned out that it was just premeditated and acted on the spot.

After successfully staying by His Majesty's side, his subordinates followed His Majesty out of the palace and learned that His Majesty had already known that Meng Xiang had been poisoned and that Meng Xiang was about to recover. The subordinates told the prince about this matter, and only then did they ......" Ah Jing wanted to speak and stopped.

Zhao Chengxi closed his eyes, thinking that it was Ye Wanwan who reported the news, but he didn't expect it to be Ah Jing.

Zhao Chengxi's hoarse voice helped Ah Jing take what he didn't say: "It was only then that King Yue made another trick and caused Meng Xiang to be poisoned." ”

"On that day, his subordinates went to see Ye Wanwan with His Majesty, deliberately claiming that there were assassins and opening up guards to facilitate Ye Wanwan and His Majesty...... Sex. ”

After that, the subordinates saw that His Majesty had a great relationship with the Hou Ye, so they asked the palace people to bully Lou Shu in private, and then let His Majesty know about it, so that His Majesty felt pity for Lou Shu. After that, his subordinates instigated Lou Shu to get close to His Majesty. Later......" Ah Jing paused, sighed, and then continued, "On the night when the Hou Ye came to the summer resort, His Majesty and Lou Shu were together. The subordinates pretended to pass on the holy decree and said to the Hou Ye that His Majesty would not see anyone, which made the Hou Ye feel sorry for His Majesty......"

"Enough!" Zhao Chengxi was furious, and threw the silver hairpin in his hand violently, and the fine jade was shattered.

"I gave you not only this hairpin, but also my trust. It's just that I'm blind and blind...... Today, the relationship between you and my master and servant will be over. ”

"It's Ah Jing who has the trust of His Majesty. But please Your Majesty don't blame Lou Shu, he doesn't know anything, he just simply wants to stay by His Majesty's side. On that day, His Majesty fled the summer resort, and Lou Shu was forced to confess by Luo Sha and died at the hands of Luo Sha. Please forgive your Majesty for Lou Shu's loyalty. ”

"Lou Shu is dead?" Zhao Chengxi thought of the man who was like a frightened bird, cautious and cowering all day long, but for her to dare to take risks to send her out of the village, and even lost his life because of her.

"Yes, his subordinates have buried him well, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Let's go." Zhao Chengxi suddenly had a sense of exhaustion that she had more than enough strength to spare, she just wanted to stay quietly, think about nothing, and do nothing.

She was in a high position, above 10,000 people, and she was supposed to protect her people, but she was always being protected.

But Zhao Chengxi knew that she had to pull herself together.

The battle for life and death is just around the corner, and if she loses, more will die because of her.

In this battle, she can only advance, not retreat.

The ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens is coming in a blink of an eye.

Early this morning, Zhao Chengxi was aroused by the palace people to wash and dress up.

Zhao Chengxi didn't resist either, her purpose was just to show up at the Heaven Sacrifice Ceremony, and the rest would be arranged by Zhao Zhang.

When the palace people retreated, Zhao Chengxi looked at himself in the mirror intently, and raised his eyebrows unconsciously.

It's pretty good.

The people in the mirror are cloudy, the hair is green and bright, and the tails of the eyes are smeared with a touch of crimson, as if stealing the clouds at sunset.

In the past, women's clothing was mostly plain-faced, but it is the first time that they have been dressed up so carefully as they are today.

Perhaps the last time.

Zhao Chengxi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

The swaying of the sideburns made a clanging sound with Zhao Chengxi's movements, which was very pleasant.

"See the prince."

The salute of the people in the palace outside the palace came, Zhao Chengxi got up and walked out, and sure enough, it was Zhao Zhangmou who came.

Zhao Zhangmou looked Zhao Chengxi up and down, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is worthy of being a lovely daughter." ”

Zhao Chengxi had long since stopped bothering about Zhao Zhang's plan to be polite or not, calling these inconsequential issues, so he glanced at Zhao Zhangmou for a while: "Is there something wrong with King Yue?" ”

Zhao Zhangmou replied: "Your Majesty is at a prime age, and you have already found a lover, why don't you find a paradise and live a happy life with eyebrows on your face?" ”

Zhao Chengxi's face was calm and his expression was indistinguishable.

Zhao Zhangmou speculated on Zhao Chengxi's thoughts, and said: "If Your Majesty is reluctant to be prosperous and rich, and you can continue to live in Jingling City, this king can be crowned Your Majesty as a free king, not only to protect the country, but also to have whatever Your Majesty wants." One person is below ten thousand people, at ease, carefree, why not? ”

Zhao Chengxi laughed sullenly. Not to mention, this kind of life sounds pretty good.
