He Yu sighed, sat on the ground, opened another jar of wine, and took a gulp: "If I wanted to plot against you, you would have died in my hands with so many opportunities at the beginning. I would not have charged into battle to help you defend this country and almost lost my life."
"He Yu." Emperor Tianshun looked at the still hazy figure in front of him and murmured, "I am wrong."
He Yu was startled and when he looked in his direction, he found that he was already lying on the ground and sleeping.
He shook his head helplessly. After so many years, why is he still like this? He Yu placed him on the low couch next to him and turned to leave.
After a while, Emperor Tianshun, who was lying on the couch, slowly opened his eyes. How could there be any sign of drunkenness in his clear and bright eyes?
He Yu, you are still alive, you are still alive.
When the queen came to the imperial study, Emperor Tianshun was already asleep. She ordered the palace servants to clean up the wine jar on the ground. At this time, Emperor Tianshun woke up slowly: "Queen."
"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."
"Your Majesty, what's going on recently? The news of your suspension of court has already reached me."
"It's my fault that I made the Queen worry. I've made you worry about it before the end of the month." Emperor Tianshun said with a little apology: "I'm fine, Queen, you should go back and rest!"
Ever since the Gu worm incident, Emperor Tianshun was unwilling to get close to her. Whenever he saw her, the scene of the Gu worm being taken out of her body flashed through his mind, and he felt extremely disgusted.
The queen knew what he was thinking, so she returned to Fengyi Palace.
"Your Highness." The nanny whispered, "Your Highness, the Emperor doesn't care about you as much as before."
"Hmph, so what?" The queen sneered, "Do you think I care about you?" She looked at the baby in the cradle and said with a smile, "I only need the princess, as for others, they are not important."
"My queen, you don't have a legitimate child. If the emperor dies one day and the queen succeeds to the throne, according to Concubine Zhao's character, she will want to get rid of you as soon as possible. What should I do then?"
"Don't worry. It's not the time to fight to the death. Even if it comes to that time, I will naturally have a way." No one can hurt her child. No one can.
Two days later, He Jingheng did not receive the emperor's edict of guilt, but received a letter from his father.
He Jingheng looked at the letter with a frown on his face.
"What?"
Shang Ruoyi asked in a low voice when she saw him like this.
"Father, go see the Emperor."
"so what?"
He Jingheng handed the letter to her directly. Shang Ruoyi read the contents and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder my father didn't have any intention of plotting."
"What's the meaning?"
What else could it mean?
Prince Dingguo was definitely a top-notch warrior, but when it came to scheming, he was no match for Emperor Tianshun even if all his heads were put together.
"My father, considering the royal family's reputation, does not want to pursue the matter too much and asks us to accept the imperial edict brought by Lord Xu and return to the capital." He Jingheng's voice was low, full of anger and unwillingness.
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this: "Father is thinking this way, what about you? What do you think?"
"I will never return to the capital unless I see this edict of apology."
Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly and said, "When a general is away from home, he will not be able to accept the military orders. You should learn more from your father."
Shang Ruoyi's words made him laugh out loud.
"I think the same as you do." Shang Ruoyi said seriously, "If we go back like this, the Dingguo Palace will still not be able to get rid of the crime of conspiracy. Since he forced this hat on our heads, we should take it back the way he forced it on us."
At night, figures shuttled through the jungle like ghosts.
At the other end of the forest, there was a woman lying on her back on a white tiger, with Yuntian standing behind her.
늀At this moment, a figure rushed out from the woods and flew towards her, and Shang Ruoyi suddenly opened her eyes.
"My dear Yunqi, I meet the late Consort."
"It is daytime, and I am honored to meet the deceased concubine."
"I am Zhou Yu, and I am honored to meet the late Consort."
"I am Ye Xu, and I am honored to meet the late Consort."
······
Only one hundred Iron Feather Guards actually passed this assessment.
"Not bad." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "Looking at your body movements, you have gained a lot during this period of time."
"Thank you, Princess Seiko, for your guidance." Hundreds of voices echoed throughout the forest.
Shang Ruoyi looked at them and whispered, "From now on, you are no longer the secret guards of Dingguo Palace, nor the Iron Feather Guards."
"Princess Seowon, what are we then?"
"Suzaku."
What?
"The Vermillion Bird is an ancient mythical beast that can both bring peace to the four directions and drive away evil. I want you to be like the Vermillion Bird and become a sharp blade that brings peace to the four seas. Can you do it?"
"I will follow the order of the Queen!"
"I will follow the order of the Queen!"
"In order to test your results, I will now assign you your first mission." Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "You 100 people, form four teams, and go to the capital to get a few things without disturbing others."
After a few days, news of theft spread from the palace.
Emperor Tianshun looked at the note in his hand and almost fainted with anger.
"He Yu, He Jingheng, I want to kill you! Kill you!"
He saw that the place where the jade seal was originally placed was now empty, his heart tightened, and he hurried forward. He saw that the black box next to the jade seal was still there, and the tiger talisman inside was still there. He finally slowly let go of his hanging heart.
Picking up the box, he frowned. The weight was wrong!
He quickly took out the tiger talisman, only to find that only half of it was left.
Emperor Tianshun couldn't help but tremble all over. He took away the jade seal and half of the tiger talisman. What were they going to do with the Dingguo Palace? Do you want to be emperor?
"Your Majesty." Concubine Zhao walked in with her belly bulging: "What's wrong with you?"
At this time, Emperor Tianshun's face turned pale and he said in a cold voice: "Get out! Get out!"
Concubine Zhao was shocked. She had been in the palace for so long, but the emperor had never treated her like this. What on earth was going on?
But even though she felt doubtful and aggrieved, she had no choice but to obey.
When they walked out of the palace, Concubine Zhao looked back at 깊 fiercely, then turned around and left quickly.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the jade seal and half of the tiger talisman brought back by Zhuque, her eyes full of smiles.
He Jingheng smiled and said, "If you do this, the emperor will probably go crazy."
"What's the big deal if he's crazy? You guys are just too honest. Why should you listen to everything he says? We're both human beings, so why is he so noble? Isn't he a mortal?"
He Jingheng looked at her and for a moment felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
"So, you founded Suzaku to do these things for him? What's the difference between this and the Dark Guard?"
