Chapter 285: The couple's emotional sublimation event (I)
end!?
Hearing this, Di Hui pursed his lips. Although Lian Qiao's words made him wonder if he was too sensitive because of the disturbance caused by the Mobei barbarians at His Majesty's wedding banquet yesterday.
After all, when a master from Zhijing entered the capital, he had to report to the Dali Temple, the Shen Ce Palace, and the Commander-in-Chief of Yan.
But after thinking about it, Di Hui looked down at the ordinary long sword on Lian Qiao's waist.
The sword is Lian Qiao's own, not the standard one in Dali Temple.
Lian Qiao came from Tianzhi Pavilion, so many people in Dali Temple said that Lian Qiao's sword must have a great origin.
So after he started to teach Lian Qiao, Di Hui couldn't help but ask about this one time when the master and disciple were drinking.
Then Lian Qiao pulled out the sword. It was just an extremely ordinary sword, even a little rusty in some places.
Lian Qiao also told him that the best sword in Tianzhi Pavilion was in the hands of his sister, and his sword was just an ordinary iron sword, a defective product worth one tael of silver in the blacksmith shop, but if used well, this sword could cut iron like mud.
Di Hui didn't ask Lian Qiao why, but he looked at Lian Qiao.
He believed what Lian Qiao said was true.
Just as he chose to believe his own feelings at that moment, and also believed Lian Qiao's first-hand feelings, instead of denying his own feelings.
So after thinking about it, Di Hui looked at Lian Qiao and said, "Can you feel it again?"
Lian Qiao was stunned for a moment, not quite understanding, but thinking that it was okay to listen anyway, she nodded and said, "Anyway, I'm just strolling around, feeling it while I walk?"
Di Hui nodded immediately.
Nothing in the capital is trivial, especially when it involves such a big matter as the Great Master of the End!
Don't be careless!
Especially since Di Hui just felt uneasy for no reason. This was an intuition he developed after working on Dali Temple cases for more than ten years.
…
There was heavy snow in the capital area.
Thousands of miles away in Shu, the weather was sunny and a little cool, but not too cold.
Therefore, Fang Wenhe did not wear many clothes. He was still wearing the same clothes as a Confucian scholar. He was still so gentle and elegant. Whenever he met someone, no matter who the other person was, he would always bow before talking.
In front of the Shu Palace, a eunuch was shocked when he saw Fang Wenhe bowing to him. He quickly bowed back in surprise and said, "Oh, Mr. Fang, this is not allowed. I am not lucky enough to receive your bow."
Fang Wenhe smiled softly: "Eunuch Han is the prince's close attendant, he can bear it."
Eunuch Han was happy to hear this, but he couldn't show it, so he said immediately: "Mr. Fang's words are very heartwarming. But go in quickly, the prince is waiting for you."
Fang Wenhe nodded slightly.
Afterwards
The city gate, which was no less magnificent than the Chengtian Gate, suddenly opened.
Just slightly open
Fang Wenhe saw the man standing on thousands of steps hundreds of meters away.
As the palace gate slowly opened.
Fang Wenhe also noticed that the man was looking at him.
Sudden!
It was as if Fang Wenhe saw a huge dragon roaring and flying into the sky, and suddenly landed at the palace gate!
A huge dragon was standing right at the entrance, as if it had three pairs of pupils in its eyes. The dust stirred up by the wide-open city gate was like the breath exhaled by the dragon. The fangs in its mouth and the sharp claws on its claws were clearly visible, looking extremely ferocious.
And the huge dragon was staring at Fang Wenhe.
One of its claws was even placed on the palace gate, as if a dragon was opening the palace gate!
oppression!
And it's terrifying!
bump!!
The city gates were wide open.
Fang Wenhe smiled slightly as the dragon in front of him suddenly disappeared.
Fang Wenhe also walked straight towards the stairs.
The scale of the entire Shu Palace is no less than that of the Luoan Daxia Palace!
It is even more magnificent and huge than the Great Xia Palace, and the steps are higher and more numerous, as if standing on it, you can overlook the world.
Walking out of the city gate, Fang Wenhe saw dozens of officials standing trembling at the bottom of the steps.
Behind the officials.
They are all black-armored warriors!
Full of murderous intent!
There was a man in black armor holding a big flag. The flag had a black background and only one big word "Xia" was written on it!
At the end of the list of civil servants on the right, Fang Wenhe noticed Mi Wanjun, who looked terrified.
Thinking of what this man did in the capital, and how he was sent to the Shu King's palace at a cost of millions of gold to show his loyalty after returning, I guess he is probably serving as an official in the area bordering Tubo now. And serving as an official in such a place, he would be beheaded within half a year.
But Fang Wenhe just glanced at Mi Wanjun. There was no need to think too much about this person.
Walking to the front, Fang Wenhe bowed to the man standing thousands of steps above.
But he hasn't spoken yet.
I only heard the eunuch Han say loudly: "Mr. Fang, we can go to the fifth floor for a conversation."
Upon hearing this, Fang Wenhe bowed to the King of Shu and walked up the stairs.
One hundred steps per level.
Five floors equals five hundred.
Every time I walked up the stairs, I felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
After walking for a while, Fang Wenhe stood at the 500th step.
At this time, the King of Shu also spoke softly: "Wenhe."
Fang Wenhe was at the end after all, so even though he was far away, he could still hear it clearly, and immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty."
After saying that, Fang Wenhe raised his eyes and looked at the King of Shu.
The King of Shu was seen standing upright, wearing only a jet-black robe with a purple glow in today's weather. The robe had no extra embroidery and his chest was bare, and it was obvious that he was not wearing anything underneath, revealing only his strong muscles.
Under the breeze
The Shu King's robe fluttered in the wind, and his messy hair also blew in the wind. The Thirteenth Prince of Daxia had a firm and resolute face and a cold gaze. He stood on a high place where he could see the entire Yizhou City.
At this moment, the King of Shu looked forward and the deep voice appeared again: "How much?"
Fang Wenhe replied: "Half done."
The King of Shu looked down at Fang Wenhe and asked, "How many people?"
Fang Wenhe replied: "Four are at the highest level, twelve are at the ninth level, and twenty-one are at the eighth level. A total of thirty-seven people."
The King of Shu looked at Fang Wenhe and asked, "How many people can return?"
Fang Wenhe replied: "No one can reply."
Huh~~~
At the moment Fang Wenhe finished speaking, the dragon that had disappeared suddenly appeared behind the King of Shu, with its mouth wide open, and its multi-pupil eyes staring at Fang Wenhe murderously.
The King of Shu spoke at this time: "I can't hear you clearly, go up one level."
Fang Wenhe smiled and bowed, "It was my voice that was too soft, it's not the prince's fault."
When the King of Shu heard this, he suddenly smiled and looked at Fang Wenhe. His pupils were extremely cold and indifferent, and he just looked at Fang Wenhe as if he was without a soul: "There are so many martial arts masters, and there are still four of them. It's not even 10%, but only half of 10%?"
Fang Wenhe immediately said, "Yes."
The King of Shu laughed, then looked at Fang Wenhe and said in a low voice: "That's enough!"
Fang Wenhe bowed without saying a word.
To slay a dragon, one and a half out of ten is indeed enough.
only
Fang Wenhe looked at the King of Shu who was looking north towards the capital, and seemed to see the huge dragon.
At this time.
The dragon soared into the sky, riding on the clouds and mist, roaring as it looked towards the capital.
…
Xia Fengxiang, the great emperor of the Xia Dynasty and the only true dragon, had already arrived outside Chengtian Gate.
His red clothes were particularly eye-catching under the white snow. He held an umbrella with one hand to prevent the snow from falling on him.
Sudden
Xia Fengxiang seemed to sense something and couldn't help but look towards the southwest.
But after just a glance, Xia Fengxiang looked at the white and silver makeup in front of him, and couldn't help but asked in surprise: "The Queen's favorite mutton soup is at Jiuyufang, right?"
Xia Fengxiang was accompanied by two plainclothes Huanglong Guards. One of them was Shao Hongzi, a ninth-rank swordsman who had failed in his attempt to assassinate the Eighth Prince and surrendered to the Empress. The other had protected Su Changan in secret for several months. When he heard what the Empress said, he nodded immediately and said, "Yes, he is at Jiuyufang."
Xia Fengxiang nodded: "Let's go over there."
The two of them didn't say much, just followed respectfully.
"On a snowy day, you need hot soup."
Xia Fengxiang looked at Bai Xue in front of him and thought of his enemy Su Changan.
Um!
That enemy might be in Lingqi Pavilion right now, thinking about drinking mutton soup!
But after thinking about it, Xia Fengxiang suddenly realized that the enemy might be thinking about eating mutton hotpot!
But no matter who he is, bring him some mutton offal soup when you go back!
Su Changan was lying on the floor in the hall. The floor heating was warm so he didn't feel cold, but he watched the heavy snow falling outside.
Su Changan suddenly sat up: "Let's have mutton hotpot. It's warm and we can drink mutton soup."
Having said this, Su Changan looked at the cat on the side.
Maomao had given up playing Go by this time, and was instead playing catching stones with the priceless pieces.
Compared to when he first learned Go, Maomao now looked very confident and was able to move the chess pieces with ease.
After the empress left, Xuanxia and others in Lingqi Pavilion naturally stopped restraining themselves and stood by Maomao, watching how powerful he was.
Maomao was not satisfied with just five or six chess pieces. After a few attempts, he was able to grab more than a dozen chess pieces from Xiangluo and the others.
Hence.
There was the sound of those priceless chess pieces falling lightly and crisply on the floor, and some chess pieces even rolled out into the snow, as if they had been thrown away casually.
Su Changan felt helpless when seeing this scene.
Yan Ruyu's heart trembled slightly when she saw this.
However, Su Changan looked at the smug cat's expression and said, "Cat, you can put some normal herbs aside. They can be used as dumpling fillings."
Maomao, who was about to grab the chess piece, couldn't help but look up at Su Changan when he heard this.
This caused the chess pieces to crackle again. You have to know that these chess pieces are limited in number, and if there is a slight crack on one of them, the whole thing will be damaged, so you must not be careless.
Everything I owned in the past was carefully treasured. Nothing like the cats I have now.
But Maomao didn't seem to care at all. After thinking for a while, he looked at Su Changan and asked, "A tonic?"
After saying this, Maomao raised the corner of his mouth, and suddenly, he saw several medicine bags in his hand: "These can all be put into the dumpling fillings, and they are all very nutritious!"
Su Changan heard it and said immediately: "Take it back. If you take it out next time, I will ask Aunt Sun to confiscate it all from you!!"
Hearing this, Maomao puffed up his cheeks and waited for Su Changan.
Because Maomao remembered that his centipede was confiscated by Su Changan! !
Seeing the cat getting angry, Su Changan said helplessly after a moment: "I'll return the centipede to you later, but don't think about turning it into wine or something for me to drink, I don't need it."
Hearing this, Maomao's eyes began to light up, and she looked at Su Changan with gratitude.
And the next second, it was as if he had thought of something and was about to speak excitedly.
But before the cat could speak.
Su Changan immediately said, "It's not okay to make soup or porridge for me to eat!"
Hearing this, Maomao's face was filled with unhappiness.
Su Changan looked at her like this and was helpless again: "But you can give it to Aunt Yan and the others. Doesn't Commander Li Xizhi like to drink your wine now?"
Maomao sighed, stood up and looked at Su Changan. After looking at Su Changan deeply with a decadent face, he walked towards his room. But when he reached the middle courtyard, he turned his head and looked at Su Changan: "Why do they all like it, but you don't want to drink it? Ruyu and Lianwei like to drink it."
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at the stubborn cat, thought for a moment and said, "Cat, be obedient. Don't think about making me drink poison. I won't drink it."
After hearing this, Maomao immediately said, "Then don't drink it! Never drink it for the rest of your life!!"
Su Changan nodded with certainty: "Well, I will never drink it in my life."
The cat's cheeks puffed up completely and it turned and walked away angrily.
Su Changan looked at Mao Mao's back and smiled smugly.
very good!
I won this round!!
Thinking of this, Su Changan lay down again.
It’s still early, so there’s no rush to prepare things for hot pot.
But looking at the snow outside.
Su Changan wondered what Xia Fengxiang was doing on such a snowy day.
While thinking about this, Su Changan couldn't help but think of the Eighth Prince.
There are many ways to kill the Eighth Prince.
Or rather, there are just too many.
But orthodox means are not enough. After all, the Eighth Prince is a prince, and it would be too slow to convict those people.
So after talking with Xia Fengxiang in the morning, he decided to wait until the Eighth Prince left Beijing.
only
Su Changan did not expect that the matter between the Eighth Prince and Yelu Gu would suddenly spread today.
At first he thought it was Xia Fengxiang who did it.
However, Xia Fengxiang shook his head and indicated that he did have this plan, but he wanted to do it after killing the Eighth Prince.
So, this made Su Changan curious.
However, Xia Fengxiang seemed to understand something. She mentioned Fang Wenhe to Su Changan and told Su Changan that Fang Wenhe had told her before leaving that the Eighth Prince had a chess game and that the Eighth Prince would end up in disgrace.
Moreover, Xia Fengxiang also explained to Su Changan very clearly what this chess game was about.
To put it simply, first spread the news of what the Eighth Prince has done over the years to take away his title of "Wise Prince", and then the three courts will hold a joint investigation.
But during this period, the Eighth Prince did not have to be alive because he "escaped".
So the common people don’t know where the Eighth Prince escaped to, but the results of the three-court trial will come out and the evidence will be brought out.
This plan is actually very simple. Su Changan listened to it and thought it was nothing.
After all, at this point, there is no need for the Eighth Prince to go through so much trouble.
Unless you need to use the Eighth Prince for other purposes.
However, Su Changan did not think too much about it. After all, he just had to follow the steps now. If the Eighth Prince did not escape himself, he would be forced to escape. Then Su Changan would take action.
As for what he said, he went to kill the Eighth Prince or something.
Don't be silly!
Su Changan is the queen. Doing things like that are what those brainless male protagonists do. Can he do that?
Although Su Changan admits that he is not smart, he thinks he is a great male protagonist.
He couldn't go alone to do something that could be done with Yan Yunxiao leading the troops. Even though he was now at the sixth rank and always felt like he was about to make another breakthrough, that wouldn't work for him.
The Eighth Prince had been assassinated by several ninth- and eighth-rank masters before, but all attempts failed!
Think of this
Su Changan yawned and stopped thinking about it.
Instead, he was wondering whether his wife had worn the gloves he had made.
Thinking like this
Su Changan looked at the heavy snow outside and wondered what Xia Fengxiang was going to do. What did he have to do in the imperial study today?
Thinking about it, Su Changan felt a little
After all, January 2nd is not New Year’s Day, so there is not the festive atmosphere in the palace as on the second day of the New Year.
But after all, yesterday was the wedding of His Majesty and the Queen, so many palace servants in the palace were very happy.
Now, because the examination is about to be completely ended, everyone in the palace is doing his job and everything is in order.
Although the mess left behind by Li Nishang could not be completely solved overnight, it was finally being dealt with. Many palace servants had their grievances redressed, and because the Empress Dowager ordered compensation, they worked even harder.
Especially the flower room.
Everyone in the palace knows that although Lu Cai and Lu Diao Si, who are now out of the palace on business, are not in the palace, the imperial edict of reward is kept in the Empress's palace. When Lu Diao Si comes back, he will change into a purple robe all of a sudden.
Therefore, although Lu Cai is not in the palace, those who are trying to curry favor with him have already begun to make efforts.
The old palace maid in the flower room who had been kind to Lu Diao Si rose to a high position because of this, from a low-ranking palace maid in the flower room to the person in charge of the flower room.
And this old palace maid was also very clear about the Empress's Lingqi Pavilion. Although she did not ask for it, it was Lu Cai who told her before leaving.
Therefore, this old palace maid was very sensible and would send a batch of flowers to Lingqi Pavilion every two days.
In particular, they would carefully select some plum blossoms, and then put all their efforts into arranging them beautifully and send them to the Queen Mother of Great Xia, the master of the harem.
And today.
The same is true in nature.
Just when Su Changan saw that it was almost dark outside and was thinking about making dumpling wrappers and hot pot.
Flowers from the greenhouse were delivered.
The conch also came back with it.
Xiangluo went out to see the cat. It was said that when Su Changan was not in the palace a few days ago, and perhaps because of the preparations for the wedding, the palace gates were kept open, so the kitten ran in.
Anyway, there were palace maids in the palace, so he was kept.
But these are just small matters.
But looking at the style of the palace maids playing with flowers.
Su Changan inexplicably thought of Lu Cai.
I also thought of the letter that Lu Cai had asked someone to bring back.
I thought of what the child said in the letter, 'Your Majesty, please be good to His Majesty. When I come back, I will bring you and His Majesty some delicious food from Rao Jiang.'
Su Changan couldn't help but smile.
but
Thinking of Lu Cai
Thinking about the child's life experience, what he did after returning home, and what Su Changan heard from Yan Yunxiao, Lu Cai was going to do when he went to Raojiang.
Su Changan sighed.
It was after that flower-sending incident that the child's life completely changed. He was such a cheerful child.
Su Changan couldn't help thinking this as he looked at the pots of flowers being sent into Lingqi Pavilion.
but
While thinking this, Su Changan was stunned for a moment.
Because he suddenly remembered that during the last Double Ninth Festival, Xia Fengxiang seemed to have gone about his business without saying anything to her.
And at this time.
Su Changan saw Lian Wei coming back.
After blinking his eyes, Su Changan moved his gaze from the palace maid to Lian Wei.
