Chapter 409: Things are man-made, and I am the sky
I don't know what kind of madness Emperor Jing smoked, obviously their sister and brother are now at the point of hating each other and distrusting each other, but he has to come to Zhaohua Hall every day to "point out" and be an eyesore.
The emperor didn't do anything, just sat quietly on the side of the desk to review the chapters, or deal with the time between government affairs, and stared at Xie Zhao thoughtfully and slightly.
However, since he was almost strangled to death by Xie Zhao last time, Emperor Jing may have been frightened, so he always sat far away, sitting in the outer hall across the palace tent, and would not be too close to the inner hall where Xie Zhao was like last time.
Not only that, since that near-death experience, the Son of Heaven has always been accompanied by two top masters, Zeng Yixuan or Zou Wuxie.
The gentleman did not stand on the dangerous wall, he was never alone again, and he stayed alone with Xie Zhao in the Zhaohua Palace.
Accompanying the Son of Heaven today is the number one master in the sleepless city of Zhaoge's inner palace, and the "Grand Duke" has been poisoned.
- It is also the one who fought with Xie Zhao who sneaked into the palace in the Chonghua Hall a few days ago.
If it weren't for Xie Zhao's use of the "Sword Immortal Mound" Fuji City's Su Xue swordsmanship to bluff Zeng Yixin at that time, making him hesitate for a moment, plus her self-created light skill "Returning to the Buddha Tanxue" is really mysterious, I am afraid that she would not have successfully escaped so quickly.
Once a poisonous eye looked at the nose and nose and eyes, like a motionless clay figure.
He bowed slightly, standing a few feet behind the Son of Heaven, like the most ordinary cautious and groveling servant in the palace.
But in this city that never sleeps, no one dares to take him seriously and only treats him as an ordinary minion.
The emperor watched the recital for an hour, and his eyes were slightly sour.
He lifted the teacup on the table, took a shallow sip of the hot tea that Yuan Ai had just poured in, and then seemed to remember something, and turned his head to ask Yuan Ai, the chief administrator of the inner hall who was standing at the door of the hall.
"The three-hundred-year-old treasure mountain ginseng in that treasure house has ever been boiled?"
Yuan Ai hurriedly bowed down and replied:
"Back to Your Majesty, that cherished wild ginseng tribute is still carefully boiling in His Majesty's small kitchen at this time.
The imperial doctor said that the longer this kind of treasure is boiled, the better the effect.
So Concubine Niangniang is watching in person, and she must have to wait a while before she can send it to Chitose. ”
Emperor Jing Jing shook his head lightly when he heard this, and smiled very reassuringly:
"Luo'er has always been careful in serving the soup and medicine, and with her watching, it will not be bad."
Unexpectedly, there was a very soft, very cold laugh from the inner hall.
"Why do your majesty bother with this? You took Zeng Lao and Zou Lao, mobilized thousands of forbidden troops, and surrounded the south of the city with such a big battle to force me to show up and bring me back to the city that never sleeps, presumably it will not be to let Niang Niang condescend and serve me every day as a courtier? ”
Xie Zhao really felt bored.
If it is said that the emperor still has a sister-brother friendship or guilt for her, she believes it;
If it is said that the emperor does not want her to die, and hopes that she can be "obedient" and obedient, she also believes it.
After all, she is self-aware, and she is still "useful" now.
It's just that now, the relationship between them has long been separated from simple siblings, mixed with too many subjective and objective factors.
The emperor ordered someone to take out the wild ginseng that was hundreds of years old in the treasure house of the inner court of the city that never sleeped, and he would never simply make up for his sister, who was "disobedient to discipline".
Emperor Jing was silent for a moment when he heard this.
His inky pupils gently shone towards the shadowy figure behind the draped gauze tent.
"Sister, I'm too careful. I just want to replenish your qi and blood, and I have no other intentions. ”
Xie Zhao chuckled, and her voice came faintly from the inner hall:
"Oh, is it? I thought it was Your Majesty who came across something incomprehensible or difficult to understand when he was studying the Sanskrit secret scroll, and wanted to order me to solve your doubts. ”
The emperor was silent for a little longer this time.
"If that's the case, what Sister said is right, there is indeed something I can't understand about that Sanskrit volume, but I don't know if Sister Ah is willing to solve my doubts?"
Xie Zhao smiled faintly and shook his head without a trace of hesitation.
"I don't want to."
Fu Jingyan didn't get angry when he heard this, he just pulled the corners of his lips slightly and smiled.
His sister is really as concise and straightforward as ever
It doesn't mean to turn around smoothly at all, and it won't please anyone.
"Well, since Sister Ah is unwilling, I will naturally not be disrespectful to Sister Ah or persecute you, and we will come to the future."
When Xie Zhao heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly inadvertently, as if he had heard something funny.
"How long is it coming? Therefore, His Majesty intends to imprison me in the Zhaohua Hall all the time.
Do you think you can hold me up for the rest of my life, or do you think you can hold back the mouths of this guy? ”
Fu Jing said calmly: "Sister, you are serious. I just want to take you back to the palace and spend time with you. ”
"Snort."
Xie Zhao shook her head and smiled, she asked with interest:
"Before I could think of how to derive the internal force in my dantian for my own use, His Majesty naturally wanted to 'gather together' with me.
It's just that I'm a little curious, if I wait for the day when I'm useless, what does Your Majesty plan to do with me? ”
Emperor Jing took a deep breath, as if he was holding back his anger.
"Sister, you have never been so mean to me in the past."
Xie Zhao nodded calmly and praised himself without any burden.
"Because I am not a mean person, naturally I will not be mean to Your Majesty.
Now it's just telling the truth, isn't it that Your Majesty has been on the throne for 95 days, and he can't listen to the truth? ”
Emperor Jing's eyes were gloomy, and there was an indescribable emotion in them.
"Okay, it's good if Sister is happy."
Xie Zhao said lightly: "But I'm not happy, the city that never sleeps, and you now, make me extremely disgusted." ”
Such disrespectful words, but when it came out of her mouth, it also made the Son of Heaven helpless.
Emperor Jing was quiet, and actually smiled abnormally faintly.
"Then I have to wronged Sister Ah for a while, and after a few years, Sister A's temperament is settled, and I will choose a good horse for you.
At that time, Sister Ah will be able to leave this city that never sleeps that you 'hate' and live in the eldest princess's mansion to be married. ”
Xie Zhao almost laughed.
The emperor is really a good calculation!
This means that when her internal force is drawn out and the divine power of the "Luo Shu Mantra" of the Son of Heaven is achieved, her "tool" is not a completely useless waste material.
It may also be possible to use waste and marry with the emperor's favored family as a royal princess, so as to consolidate the imperial power for the Son of Heaven and bring in the relationship between the powerful ministers.
I haven't seen him for two years, and Fu Jingyan is really getting more and more complete.
She laughed and said: "Your Majesty is very thoughtful, but you seem to have forgotten that if the goddess of Shentai Palace wants to get married, she needs the high priest of Shentai Palace to burn incense and bathe in the sky after divination and sacrifice to the sky, and the heavenly blessing can only be done after signing auspicious signs."
Your Majesty thinks that if it weren't for me personally nodding, the high priest of Nanxu would have been ordered to perform a heavenly sacrifice for His Majesty? ”
Emperor Jing laughed and said, "Sister is right, if the goddess of Shentai Palace wants to get married, she naturally needs the high priest to perform divination and astrology to worship the sky. ”
A flash of madness flashed in his eyes.
"However, what if Sister Ah is no longer the goddess of Shentai Palace by then?"
Xie Zhao frowned.
"What do you mean?"
Emperor Jing replied gently: "I don't mean anything, it's just that this afternoon, I have issued a holy decree to comfort the four realms.
The eldest princess of Tianchen, Fu Jingci, has worked hard for the country and the people for many years, and now she is close to the age of Shuanghua and the crown, and the age of flowers can not be delayed.
So you yourself decided to officially take off your divine robe on the occasion of this year's birthday, that is, on the fifth day of the first lunar month one day later, and leave the Shentai Palace to return to the Zhaoge Imperial City. ”
Fu Jingyan pursed his lips and leaned gracefully on the back of the chair behind him.
"Sister, in another day, the four realms of the world will know that you have voluntarily resigned as the goddess of the Shentai Palace.
And you have worked hard for half your life, presumably even if the subjects of Tianchen hear this news, they will only be sincerely happy for you.
From now on, you will no longer have anything to do with the Shentai Palace, and your marriage will naturally only be decided by me and the Imperial Family's Clan. ”
A touch of coldness flashed in Xie Zhao's eyes.
"Your Majesty really thinks that this thing can be as Your Majesty expected?"
The Son of Heaven chuckled.
"Things are man-made, and I am the sky."
