When the first rays of sunlight shined through the clouds to illuminate the whole palace, the monkey stood up lazily on the eaves and stretched.

At this moment, he saw from a distance that Ruexiang's maid was standing in the attic a hundred feet away, watching him.

He was slightly stunned.

After a brief meeting of glances, the maid hurried down the attic.

"What's wrong?" asked Tencang.

"It's nothing, I'll come when I go, don't make a noise. With that, the monkey sat down cross-legged. Immediately after, he left a phantom, and his real body quietly floated in the direction of the maid.

The sentry guarding the perimeter did not notice anything unusual on the eaves.

......

Opening the door, the green-clothed prime minister took the red plate containing various pastries from the maid outside the door, turned around and walked to the round table step by step and put it down.

"Your Majesty, the pastries are ready and ready to be delivered. ”

"I see......" Rue Xiang sat on the couch, her hand hidden in her sleeve holding a handkerchief, twisting and twisting.

The red lips were pursed tightly.

There is no way back, so I can only give it a go.

In essence, Rue Xiang didn't think it was a big fault to let the monkey and his party enter the palace, because they would not stay, let alone pose a threat to the daughter country, at best, they could only be regarded as passers-by. As the old department of Huaguo Mountain, he is just doing his best to be a landlord. The reason why the monkeys must be eliminated is only because of Nuwa Niangniang's taboo.

But Nuwa Niangniang is her benefactor, so why not a monkey?

Regardless of whether the poison was effective for the Heavenly Dao cultivators, poisoning the monkey would never be feasible for Ruexiang.

Her perception determined that she couldn't do such a thing.

If she had to choose, Rue would rather be convicted for it. But, I'm afraid, I'm only afraid...... Even if Rue Xiang is willing to bear the blame. It doesn't help. Because Nuwa Niangniang said: "Someone will clean up your mess for you......"

After so many years, Rue Xiang knows the meaning of this sentence deeply. As one of the ancient powers, Nuwa Niangniang can do what she says.

Even if she really disobeyed Nuwa Niangniang's intentions, probably, it would only set off another dispute. In the end, it will be a hard-fought confrontation between Nuwa and the monkey. This is something Rue doesn't want to see anyway.

For the sake of the present. Maybe all that's left is to take a risk.

......

On the other side of the palace, in a no-man's corner, the monkey stood quietly with his hands crossed, looking down at the maid kneeling in front of him.

"You say, your majesty asked you to tell me?"

"Yes. The maid kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty has explained, and in a while, she will personally send the poisoned pastries to the Great Sage." At that time, the Great Sage only needs to pretend to eat it, and then be furious. ”

The monkey looked at the maid meaningfully: "Pretend to eat it?"

"Yes. The maid nodded and said, "Your Majesty said, with the cultivation of the Great Sage." You must be able to hide from everyone and pretend that you have already eaten the pastry. The Great Sage Master used to be a Heavenly Dao cultivator, even if the poison was ineffective against the Great Sage, it should be reasonable. At that time, as long as the Great Sage was furious and claimed that the pastry was found to be poisonous, then naturally no one would know that the Great Sage had not actually swallowed the pastry. The stakes are high. Please also ask the great sage to cooperate. Great kindness, the daughter country is grateful. ”

Look at the maid. The monkey's eyebrows are furrowed.

What's going on? Predicting that you are going to be poisoned, and you teach yourself how to deal with it? Is it driving people out in disguise? Why doesn't it feel like it?

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly took out a piece of jade slip from her sleeve and offered it with both hands, and said, "The slave and maid have no lies. This is the jade slip that the slave maid contacted His Majesty, if the Great Sage does not believe it, he can directly confirm with His Majesty. But...... Your Majesty is now staring at him. I'm afraid the Great Sage will have to wait a little longer. ”

"Is there anyone else staring?" took the jade slip, and the monkey took it in his hand and looked at the sunlight carefully: "Your Majesty is still being held hostage? Who wants to poison Lao Tzu?"

"Your Majesty said that this is a family matter of the daughter's country, and she can't say it explicitly. In addition, His Majesty implores the Great Sage to do so no matter what. Do not hurt the sisters in this daughter's kingdom. ”

After staring at Yu Jian for a long time, the monkey snorted helplessly: "Okay, I promise her." Turning my face, I took the person with me. ”

"The slave and maid have thanked the great sage for His Majesty's great kindness. The maid bowed deeply again, and said, "The slave and maid came secretly on the orders of His Majesty, and if they leave for too long, I am afraid that they will be detected, and then they will ......."

"You go back first. ”

The maid got up and saluted cautiously, then took two steps back, turned and hurried away.

Holding the jade slip, the monkey's brow was tightly locked.

"Family affairs in the daughter's country...... Mutiny? No, she should have asked me for help. After thinking for a long time, the monkey could only shake his head helplessly: "I don't understand." ”

In the breeze, the figure slowly faded, leaving only a phantom, quietly returning the way it came.

......

When the monkey returned to its original place, attached to the phantom left by it and opened its eyes, Xuanzang and the others in the house had already gotten up.

The roller shutters were fetching water from the well in front of the door.

When he jumped down from the cornices and stepped into the hall, the monkey happened to see Xuanzang sitting at the round table in the room looking at a red book with relish, with a rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

The two maidservants had entered the house at some point, and were changing the sandalwood in the incense burner. The fragrance that had been burning all night, but had faded away, spread again.

"What kind of book is this?"

"The book that the roller shutter will find in the drawer over there, this ...... It should be a book unique to the daughter country. ”

"What are you talking about?"

Closing the book in his hand, Xuanzang sighed softly: "Some women's reasoning is very unique, and it is really unheard of and unseen. It gave the poor monk some inspiration. ”

"Oh?" the monkey grinned as he picked up the fruit on the table and took a bite, "Then you had an epiphany?"

Saying this, the smile on Xuanzang's face immediately retracted slightly, and slowly shook his head.

This should be expected. If you can read a book and Pudu, will Pudu still get Xuanzang?

But then again. What about the sacrifice that I originally said, what about it?

The monkey quietly glanced at Xuanzang. I saw Xuanzang staring at the books lying on the table, they were already in a trance, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Forget it, let's leave it alone.

That queen Rue is also an old acquaintance, and she is not bad for her own gang. It's a bit unrighteous to use her daughter's country as an experiment. Besides, listening to the meaning of the maid's words just now, Rue Xiang is also anxious now, so don't make a mess. I'll have to pretend to notice that the pastry is poisonous and make a fuss with them.

Anyway, Xuanzang was forced to come by himself, so forget about the sacrifice.

The monkey thought to himself.

......

On the long palace road, Rue Xiang was dressed in a costume and walked slowly with an expressionless face. Behind him was the female prime minister. There were also six maids, two of whom carried red wooden boxes full of delicate pastries.

"It should be reasonable that His Majesty left the table last night and did not return, and came to apologize early this morning. It stands to reason that the demon monkey will not be suspicious. After all, they didn't shy away from the food and drinks we gave us at the banquet last night. ”

"The elixir given by the mother. The minister had ordered the water to be turned into water and mixed into the pastries. ”

Speaking of which. Niangniang's elixir is really powerful, colorless and tasteless, and there is not the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power. Even the people who knew that the poison in the pastry did not notice anything unusual. No matter how high the demon monkey's cultivation is, it can't be discovered before the onset of the medicinal power. ”

"The minister has already ordered to go down and let the ministries prepare secretly. As long as the demon monkey is poisoned. All forces immediately converge in one place......"

"Of course, it's better to poison them all. It should be a bit harder though. I don't know how long it will take for this poison to attack, or how long it will take for the demon monkey to notice something strange after eating it. Just in case, the minister thought that he should let the demon monkey be the first to eat the pastry as much as possible. After all. He is the main combat force of the other party. If the others are not poisoned, we may be able to fight, but if they are not poisoned...... When the time comes, I am afraid that it will not only fall short, but also cause death. ”

Along the way, the prime minister kept telling Ruxiang in her ear, but Ruxiang never said a word.

In the blink of an eye, the group had come to the attic where the monkeys and others were staying.

"Her Majesty has arrived—!"

A long skirt crossed the threshold, and Rue Xiang silently saluted the monkey, and the monkey returned the salute casually.

The other people behind the monkey, the people behind Rue Xiang, etc., also bowed according to the etiquette very tacitly.

All this is done in silence.

Between the gestures, the eyes of the monkey and Rue Xiang staggered. In this brief moment, Rue's gaze moved slightly to the left. Standing behind her left was the green-clothed prime minister.

The monkey suddenly knew what the maid said, "the one who is staring at His Majesty".

To take her down, the monkey is a matter of minutes. However, after all, it is someone else's land, and others have already made a decision, and it is not good for him to overstep his responsibilities.

Raising his hands, the monkey just smiled and looked at Ruxiang, ready to play a play that had already been promised.

Since the monkey had already greeted everyone, Xuanzang, Tianpeng and others were also watching coldly.

"I'm sorry for yesterday's feast. The king had to leave the table because of something important, so that he neglected you, and today, I am here to apologize. ”

The monkey waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal." Who doesn't have a bit of a?"

"Great Sage Xie is considerate. Rue Xiang was slightly blessed, and then took the box containing pastries from the maidservant, put it on the table, and opened the two food boxes with her own hands. The movement was so light that there was no sound.

"Great Sage, this is a pastry made by this king himself, a little heart, and please don't shirk it. After that, Ruxiang said to Xuanzang and the others: "Let's try it too."

Xuanzang and the others looked at the monkey intentionally or unintentionally.

For a moment, the entire hall was silent, as if everything froze.

The green-clothed prime minister still maintained the smile he had at the entrance, but his brows furrowed slightly.

It is undeniable that at this moment, her heart is full of apprehension. From the moment she entered the door, she felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Could it be that Her Majesty has already leaked the news to the other party?

The prime minister's heart was extremely anxious, but in the current situation, she could only pretend that everything was as usual.

The monkey scratched his cheek and said, "I don't like pastries very much. ”

"The Great Sage doesn't like to eat pastries, I like it. Since it is His Majesty's wish, it is inconvenient for me to refuse. As he spoke, Canopy rolled open his sleeve and stretched out his hand.

At this moment, the green-clothed prime minister's brows furrowed even deeper, and his hands were clenched tightly.

If the canopy eats it first, it attacks first, but the monkey doesn't eat it, and then it ......

Before the canopy could touch the pastries, the monkey reached out and stopped him: "People mainly want to give it to me, why are you in a hurry? I don't usually like to eat them, but since they were sent by His Majesty, there is no reason not to eat them." ”

As he spoke, the monkey reached out and picked up one of the pieces.

The green-clothed prime minister's brows trembled slightly, and his eyes widened.

For some reason, Xuanzang's face standing behind Tianpeng gradually became a little ugly. However, at this time, the attention of everyone present was on the monkey, and no one noticed this slight change.

With a grin, he looked at Rue Xiang, and glanced at the prime minister, consciously or unconsciously, and the monkey put the pastry to his lips.

At this moment, the monkey quietly used a spell to forcibly evaporate half of the pastry, and then used a trick to quietly conjure up half of the cake. With the crushing cultivation, such a cumbersome chain technique, the monkey was completed in an instant, leaving no trace.

Take a bite and chew carefully.

None of those present noticed the change.

Rue Xiang looked at the monkey with her eyes slightly wide and waited.

The prime minister slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The monkey eats the pastry, and in this way, the matter is already half the battle.

She smiled and took a step forward, picked up one of the food boxes, and said with a smile, "You are really envious of us." After following His Majesty for so many years, speaking of which, no one in this daughter country has ever seen His Majesty cook in person. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have known that Your Majesty is so good at cooking. ”

As she spoke, she took small steps to the canopy, which was the second in the ranks, and looked at the canopy.

After Tianpeng reached out and took out a piece, he quickly walked towards the black bear spirit that was ranked third. At the same time, she was quietly looking at the canopy with her peripheral vision, holding her breath.

Just as Tian Peng was about to put the pastry in his mouth, the monkey suddenly stared at him and threw the pastry in his hand to the ground!

"What is this? You actually poisoned it?"

Under a loud shout, Ruxiang, who had already expected all this, stood still, and the female prime minister hurriedly took a step back, ready to dodge, and the other people who came with him did not react, but just looked at the monkey with a little horror.

Reaching out and grabbing it, the golden hoop rod had fallen into the monkey's hand.

Just as the monkey was about to take the opportunity to make trouble, a feeling of dizziness hit, and Xuanzang, who had never touched the pastry from beginning to end, shook his body and fell to the ground with a "bang".

For a moment, all the people in the entire hall froze. (To be continued......)
