Zunhua Palace is the dormitory of the Emperor of the Dove, before and after three into the palace courtyard, the east side hall is the main hall of the Inner Palace, except for the emperor's trusted ministers, outsiders are not allowed to enter. The west side hall is the imperial study, and the five south-facing Taisho palace rooms are the inner sleeping palaces.

Because Empress Hua Yao did not like to inlay gold and dot emerald, Emperor Fa Jiu ordered people to remove the white marble and Cheng mud stone brick floor, and replaced it with gray and cyan bricks. Take off the beaded door curtain, replace it with bamboo curtains, and use ancient pottery-colored bed bedding, which is elegant and comfortable, and the ancient meaning is super vulgar.

The flowers and trees of the Birch Palace** are blooming gradually.

Recently, Emperor Dove is not very good, the doctor told him not to move more, this morning he committed a head disease, his body is becoming more and more weak and lazy, and he rests in the inner hall.

Empress Hua Yao was busy for an afternoon, and then went to the outer hall to rest, and ordered someone to open the door of the palace, and the bamboo curtains were rolled up, revealing half of the garden.

Qianji Ruochen stood and waited on the side, Empress Hua Yao leaned on the soft couch embroidered silk satin, lowered her head and played with the spiritual light gold on her wrist, the dazzling gold made her arms thin and delicate, and asked Qianji in a leisurely voice: "Ruochen, Zi Ning went to the Houshan Spirit Cave with the Emperor, is there any news at this time?"

"Please let the empress be relieved, and the person sent to report back, the absolute emperor has relieved the 10,000-year-old snow lotus anger on her body, and it must be no big problem. Zi Ning is really rich and prosperous, he was rescued by the Emperor twice, and he also got an ancient Pixiu immortal pet. It has spread in this palace, and I don't know how many people are amazed and envious. Qianji gently draped a green peacock feather feather over her, "As soon as the ten thousand years snow lotus is served, I'm afraid that even the old injuries have healed, and the empress doesn't have to worry." ”

Empress Hua Yao sighed faintly and said, "I have carefully hidden her for sixteen years, just because I don't want her to get into trouble with these things. Alas, in the end, there is still no way to hide. Jing Mu closed his eyes, a lot of things have happened one after another recently, and he just feels powerless.

The incense in the warm pavilion made my head dizzy, and the spring time became longer and more boring. The cold clouds and mist at the peak of Shu Mountain appeared in her mind, and she sighed in her heart, even if she took a breath of cool breath in the wind, at least she was a little fresh.

Qianji came to her and whispered: "Zi Ning has been getting close to the Absolute Emperor in the past two days, does Niang Niang want her to go to Kunlun? Or the son of Tanglin will be the Zen Divine Monarch and send Zi Ning to Penglai to be a concubine?"

Empress Hua Yao's eyes flashed, and she shook her head and said, "She can't go to Penglai, let alone Kunlun." This palace doesn't want her to have anything to do with the immortal clan, so it's best not to cultivate for the rest of her life and be a mortal. ”

In that year, the Immortal Dao Realm and the Heavenly Demon fought each other, and the Immortal Clan destroyed six gods and twenty-four god monarchs, and the scene was extremely tragic. Empress Hua Yao was originally a female disciple of Shushan, and she fell in love with Shushan Sword Zun Shenjun He Shen, and the two originally planned to get married after the Heavenly Demon War, but who expected that Sword Zun He Shen would die in battle. Empress Hua Yao was pregnant and couldn't return to Shushan, so she had to secretly hide in the small country of the Dao clan and gave birth to Zining.

Kunlun, Penglai, and Shushan were all hit hard, and Shushan sent people to find Empress Hua Yao to return to the sect, but she was already disheartened by the death of Heshen and did not want to return to the immortal clan, so she married Emperor Fajiu.

The Immortal Clan has a great responsibility, Empress Hua Yao didn't want Zining to cultivate, and secretly sent her to Lin Chuniang to raise, only wishing that her daughter would be safe and secure for the rest of her life, be an ordinary mortal, and never get involved in the disputes of cultivation in the Immortal Dao Realm. Now Kunlun and Penglai shoulder the heavy responsibility of guarding the immortal realm, especially the Kunlun Peerless Emperor, and the burden is not light. Zining is with him, it is a curse and not a blessing!

"Then the matter of choosing a concubine ......" Qianji frowned and said: "Hua Yan will definitely take the opportunity to make things difficult for Zining, and Niangniang must be on guard." ”

As he was talking, the figure of a girl in dark yellow clothes flashed out, approached Empress Hua Yao, and whispered in a deep voice: "The emperor invites Niangniang to the inner hall." ”

She is the maid Mo Yikui, who caused trouble with Zining in the library the day before yesterday, and was blamed by Qianji and stayed in the Zunhua Palace to serve. When she heard what Empress Hua Yao said just now, her heart sanctured, and she was secretly anxious: "If Zining doesn't cultivate for the rest of her life, when will she be able to become the head of Shushan and revitalize the sect?"

The maids on the left and right hugged Empress Hua Yao into the inner hall, Emperor Hair Dove was lying on the couch, his face was haggard and gray, an old palace lady stood beside him, and the little maid on the other side held a jade plate in her hand.

Several medicine bowls and utensils were placed on the couch table, and a strong medicinal gas filled the hall, which was mixed with the agarwood pieces in the incense burner, exuding a slightly pungent smell.

Emperor Fa Gu raised his hand weakly, "Hua Yao, after this half a month, Luo Xi is going to marry into Kunlun, this king thinks that he should always prepare a golden and jade dowry in advance, and ordered someone to make these things, you can help take a look." "He was injured by the unicorn beast, although it was not fatal, but it hurt Zhenyuan, and he was weak to speak.

The old palace concubine stepped forward and saluted, and said with a smile: "We have made these things by the best jewelers in the country of Fa Jiu, and please take a look at them." As she spoke, she stepped back, and the little maid took a step forward, knelt down in front of the low couch, and held the jade plate high above her head.

Gong E placed a mat on the couch on the west side, Empress Hua Yao sat down slowly, and the old palace concubine hurriedly handed over a cup of Yimu Fairy Grass Red Flower Tea.

She turned her eyes lightly and glanced at the jade plate, which was some jewelry with golden jade hairpins, in the shape of a butterfly and a flower, shining in a bright color of gold or white.

Lazily raised his hand and said, "Where did you get these vulgar things, how could people in Kunlun Wonderland wear such jewelry, this palace thinks it's inappropriate." It is better to use Lingjing golden silk phoenix feathers to make a few small and unique hairpins, scatter some fairy energy, and look crisp and clean, which is much stronger than the jingling of gold and silver beads, and the eyes are full of fragments. ”

When Emperor Hair Dove heard this, he nodded and said: "This jewelry is only worn in the country of Hair Dove, and when I went to Kunlun, Luo Xi used these things, and it didn't make people laugh." He raised his hand and ordered the little maid to take back the jade plate.

The old palace concubine sighed and said: "The emperor is injured, and we don't understand this, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions, in the end, it is still the mother who has insight." The old man turned around and ordered the craftsman to remake the jewelry, Miss Luo Xi married Kunlun, everything had to be arranged properly, and she couldn't be talked about. He raised his eyes and looked at Empress Hua Yao, and said: "The selection of concubines in the palace also requires the mother to bother more." ”

The corners of Empress Hua Yao's mouth hooked up a deep smile, raised her hand to pick up the Yimu Fairy Grass Safflower Tea, slowly exhaled the heat, and said for a while: "The matter of the concubine, this palace knows it. ”

Emperor Hair Dove said suddenly: "Speaking of choosing a concubine, Zi Ning, who stayed at the gate of the palace, heard that she got a fairy pet. Such a clever girl should be sent to Penglai as a congratulatory gift. ”

Empress Hua Yao put away her smile, put the teacup on the low table beside her, put her hands together, lowered her head and stroked the embroidery on the cuffs, and was silent for a while. Seeing this, Chihime hurriedly took the teacup, replaced it with a jasper square bowl with some rose-purple fruit syrup in it, and brought it to her with both hands.

Empress Hua Yao dug a mouthful of fruit syrup with a porcelain soup spoon, swallowed it slowly to moisten her throat, and said in a light tone: "The emperor is busy with cultivation on weekdays, and it is good to raise it with all his heart in the past two days. ”

Emperor Hair Dove was injured by the fall of the unicorn beast, Princess Tong was afraid of ghosts and frightened, and the people of the Dao clan and the big and small caves were gloating. Next, the palace chose a concubine, Fang Luoxi got married, and if something was wrong, she was ridiculed to the end.

Emperor Hair Dove smiled dryly: "Hua Yao is right. All kinds of details in the palace have to be done by you, if you don't have the power to control the situation, the palace doesn't know what kind of peach it will become. ”

Seeing him say this, Empress Hua Yao coughed slightly, and instructed everyone: "The emperor is tired today, you go out first, and the palace will talk to the emperor." As he spoke, he nodded, and the two maids came up and took away the medicine bowls and utensils on the table.

When the palace ladies withdrew, Emperor Hairdove frowned and asked, "Hua Yao, what do you have to say to this king?"

Empress Hua Yao was silent for a long time, pushed the golden chuan on her wrist, raised her eyes and said, "Emperor, Ruochen went to the meditation building yesterday ......"

The words stopped, and Emperor Dove's gaze froze, staring at Empress Hua Yao silently.

After a while, the muscles on his face trembled, twisted his body and struggled, and said, "Jingxin Lou, Qianji saw that ink-colored bat painting!" His eyelids couldn't help but jump, his left and right fists clenched, and he lowered his head and panted heavily.

"This palace wants to know, what is going on with that painting, when did the emperor have a friendship with the heavenly demon?" she said in a cold tone, deliberately emphasizing the word "friendship", and her eyes became sharp.

The Heavenly Demon and the Immortal Clan are mortal enemies, and the Shushan Immortal Zun Heshen died in the hands of the Heavenly Demon. As long as she thought of it, even her palms were cold.

Emperor Hair Dove slowly raised his head, a panic flashed in his eyes, and he said in a trembling voice: "Hua Yao, this king is also forced to be helpless. Although the Heavenly Demon is currently sealed by the enchantment, his strength is unstoppable, and sooner or later he will subdue the entire Immortal Dao Realm. This king can't open his eyes and watch the lives of the Hair Dove Kingdom be ruined, if he doesn't surrender to the Heavenly Demon at this time, hundreds of thousands of people will all die tragically. ”

Empress Hua Yao was silent, her face was pale, and it was extremely ugly, her husband, Emperor Dove, really betrayed the two immortal clans and joined the heavenly demons!

"Hua Yao, you have to be considerate of this king. Emperor Dove showed a painful look on his face, turned over from the couch, rolled his body to the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "This king doesn't want to be like this, but when I think of you and Tong'er, this king can't ignore it." ”

Empress Hua Yao's heart was like a knife, and she slowly shook her head and said: "Emperor, the immortal clan has paid a heavy price for guarding the entire immortal realm, but you ......" Her head was dizzy, and she almost fell backwards.

Later, for the sake of Zining, she left all the responsibilities of the immortal clan and willingly married the small country of the Dao clan, just wanting to live a peaceful and stable life, and then ignore the grievances between the immortal clan and the heavenly demons. But at this moment, a deep despair invaded her, and her heart was extremely sad, "Heshen, why, you died because of the Heavenly Demon, but I can't avenge you, I can't even avoid it!"

"Hua Yao!" Emperor Fa Gu struggled to prop himself up, and threw himself on her lap, his face was like a blank piece of paper, "I know you hate the Heavenly Demon, but the Immortal Clan's fight against the Heavenly Demon is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg, more than ten years ago, the Six Gods and the Twenty-Four Divine Monarchs were destroyed, isn't it a painful lesson? Hua Yao, the Heavenly Demon hates the Immortal Clan, as long as we surrender and stay in the Dao Clan forever, we will definitely be able to keep the Fa Gu Kingdom. ”

Heshen's blood-stained figure appeared in front of her, and Empress Hua Yao's eyes lit up, and she said: "This palace and the enemy do not share the sky, and this matter must not be tolerated. Even if the Immortal Clan is finally wiped out, the Immortal Clan will also live and die together!" Although she had already been discouraged and didn't care about the affairs of the Immortal Clan, she couldn't make her grovel to the Heavenly Demon.

"Poof!" A puff of blood mist erupted from the mouth of the Hair Dove Emperor, staining the corners of her skirt red, "Hua Yao, this king begs you, our Tong'er is still young, you can't watch her being burdened by the immortal clan and being killed by the heavenly demons!"

Thinking of Princess Tong, Empress Hua Yao's mind suddenly sobered up, frowned for a while, and asked: "There is one thing I don't understand in this palace, since the emperor is not optimistic about Kunlun, why did he marry Fang Luoxi to the Absolute Emperor? Tong'er is your daughter, and so is Fang Luoxi, don't you worry about the Heavenly Demon dealing with Kunlun and destroying Fang Luoxi together?"

Emperor Fa Gu was stunned for a moment, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes, he hurriedly coughed twice to cover up, sat on the couch with his body propped up, and said with a sigh of relief: "This king married Luo Xi to Kunlun, it is really for the sake of the emperor. In the future, the Heavenly Demon will rule the Immortal Dao Realm, maybe for the sake of the Fa Gu Kingdom, he can let go of the Absolute Emperor ......" The reason is far-fetched, but he can't think of any other reason for a while.

Empress Hua Yao looked at him for a long time, suddenly snorted coldly, and said, "The emperor is resting, the palace has a headache, and Ming'er will come to visit the emperor again." As he spoke, he got up and looked down at the bloodstains stained at the corners of his skirt, feeling a little dazzling. His eyes were cold, and he commanded loudly: "Ruochen, help the palace to go back and change clothes." ”

When Empress Hua Yao left, Emperor Fa Gu leaned on the palace bed alone, and he really spent a lot of effort to play that tragic scene, and deliberately hurt his heart, so he spit out a mouthful of blood. He raised his eyes to look at the fragrant flowers and trees outside the window, his eyes revealed a gloomy coldness, and he muttered to himself: "Hua Yao, this king will definitely send your daughter to a good place!"
