Chapter 22 Unkind and unjust(1/2)
A palace with gold bricks and jade walls, pillars and painted phoenixes, and palace maids standing quietly.
A beautiful woman wearing a bright red dress and a golden branch on her head was holding a letter. Opposite her, outside the screen, stood a bent guard.
Wanwanliu frowned, she pondered for a moment and then said: "I don't want people to know about the consort. If the emperor knows about it, it will definitely damage my reputation!"
"I understand!" the bent guard said, "but that man also has a son, the son of the consort, how should we deal with it."
The woman's beautiful face was filled with indifference, and she said slowly: "Isn't it true that the son of the consort can only be born in this palace? You are so stupid to ask."
The consort's son can only be born to her in the next life, so the son born to the Qin family cannot exist in this world.
What a cruel order, what a cruel heart!
"I deserve to die, I will do it now." The guard knelt on the ground and said.
The woman waved her hand: "Do it cleanly and don't get discovered. If the consort knows about it, warn him not to meddle in his own business. I guess he doesn't want me to know about the existence of that country woman."
"yes!"
The guard bowed and retreated.
"Please come and see Mr. Gong Si. I need his help if I need anything."
As a princess of the Great Zhao Kingdom, Princess Jinde has considerable power and is even related to practitioners. Mr. Gong Si is a practitioner.
…
…
Long Tu looked at Chen Ke who was inquiring about the details of the law and said, "Is there another grievance?"
Chen Keqian smiled and said: "Not yet, I just want to ask first. I can't afford to offend the emperor's relatives, and I don't dare to interfere."
After hearing this, Long Tu nodded and said: "Chen Ke, the law is not the only thing in the world that can restrain people's hearts, but the law is the most just method."
"As the person who revise the law, this government will abide by the law closely, but there are also some parts of the law that are not satisfactory. There will always be lenient interpretations of the law when dealing with powerful people."
Chen Ke said: "I know that your Excellency is an honest official and a good official. If the law cannot control it, I will take care of it!"
"You?" After hearing this, Long Tu smiled together with Bai Huwei and said, "You are just a small servant, not even a catcher. How do you get to the capital where the third-grade people are walking around in the third-grade city?
Guan? You don’t understand, some people are just kings!”
Chen Ke said: "I am a practitioner. I have transcendent power. I will enforce the law! I will enforce the laws of heaven and the laws of man!"
"Are you a practitioner? When did you become a practitioner?" Long Tu asked in confusion.
Chen Ke was moved in his heart and asked: "Sir, have you forgotten that I learned to cultivate immortality from Mr. Li outside the city?"
Long Tu frowned, turned to look at Bai Huwei and said, "Do you remember Chen Ke told me that he cultivated immortality?"
Bai Huwei shook his head and said, "I don't remember."
"I don't remember either. I thought it was because I'm old and my memory is failing." Long Tu looked confused.
Chen Ke was really confused at this time. Did the teacher pick off these people's brains and dig out the parts about him? Why did they all forget the existence of the teacher!
Chen Ke felt a sense of loneliness at this moment, and the teacher seemed to have disappeared from this world.
"Sir, you have forgotten that I also told you about practicing immortality together." Chen Ke said again.
Long Tu said: "It's not the magic that your uncle from the Wang family taught you. Bai Huwei and I know that we can't learn it."
"There is really nothing left. Even Master Longtu and the others have forgotten the Taoist teachings taught by the teacher."
Chen Ke felt strange in his heart, but also a little excited. All these situations can prove that his master is an old god!
"Lord Longtu, I'll take my leave now."
"The magical means are so wonderful."
Chen Ke shook his head and walked out of the lobby.
Long Tu asked from behind: "Remember to come back and be on duty in the afternoon."
"I can't forget it!" Chen Ke replied.
Long Tu had a strange look on his face and asked Xiang Baiwei: "What old immortal do you know?"
Bai Huwei said: "Two days ago, there was a liar pretending to be an immortal master in the west of the city. His legs were broken, and he has never heard anything about the immortals again."
"Sigh... It seems that the cross tattoo case has dealt a big blow to Chen Ke. Please pay more attention to him if you have nothing to do." Long Tu thought that Chen Ke was a little dizzy from the blow.
On the way back, Chen Ke already had some basis for speculation in his mind. He felt that the teacher must have cast a magic spell to make these people forget his existence.
Even Master Long Tu, who has such a majestic spirit to ward off ghosts and gods, cannot escape the teacher's magic!
Chen Ke is more confident in the supreme Taoism he has learned. Although his spiritual veins are blocked now, Chen Ke feels that he can definitely become an immortal through cultivation.
Back at the inn, Sister Qin had already packed her things and was just waiting for Chen Ke to come back.
Seeing Chen Ke coming back, Sister-in-law Qin said again with hesitation: "If that doesn't work, let us go back to our hometown. It will always be a trouble here. If he really knows about it, it won't be good for you."
Chen Ke shook his head and said, "If you haven't sold your property, it's okay for you to go back. But if you sell all your property, you won't have a place to live after you go back. How can you take care of Xiaobao? He is ungrateful and covets glory and wealth. If you sever ties with him, then
Just stop talking to him."
Mrs. Qin glanced at the little treasure in her arms, with a look of reluctance on her face. But the reality told her through actions again and again that Chen Ying was no longer the Chen Ying who regarded her as a treasure in the past.
Chen Ying is now the consort of the dynasty, a powerful figure, and is no longer a young scholar from Junjiang County. He is no longer a man who would blush even if he talks about love to her.
"Why does a person change so much!" Ms. Qin shook her head and couldn't believe it. Even though she was scolded by Chen Ying many times, she still couldn't believe that all of this was true.
With a cold light in Chen Ke's eyes, he said: "People's hearts are inherently changeable. Wealth and power can make one person become another person. Sister-in-law, stop thinking about him and make peace with him. If he dares to be aggressive again,
Then report it to the official and let him realize his spring and autumn dream!"
"Um!"
Mrs. Qin nodded heavily.
Su Zhao packed up his things and headed out of the city with Qin and Xiaobao.
A salesman standing opposite the inn saw Chen Ke, Qin and Xiaobao leaving with packages on their backs. With a smile in his eyes, he left the stall and headed towards Dongcheng.
Walking through the halls and alleys, we came to a deserted courtyard.
"They're gone!"
Chen Ying walked out of the house with a look of hesitation on her face.
The salesman said at the head: "Let's go. I can see clearly that it was that boy who sent them out of the city."
Chen Yingdao: "Very good. There are many people staring at me on the road, so it's best to leave. It also saves me trouble!"
The salesman responded to the order and left again.
A person walked out of the room again. He was dressed in light white clothes and had long hair hanging down his head. There was only a purple gold copper ring, which tied a strand of black hair down behind his head.
"Brother Chen, why bother with such a trivial matter? The princess is a generous person and won't argue with you. It's just concubinage. What man doesn't like three wives and four concubines? Just let the princess look away."
The man in white said with a smile.
The gloomy look on Chen Ying's face disappeared, and she said with a respectful smile: "Brother Sun doesn't know something. This matter is too complicated. Every family has its own scriptures that are difficult to recite. I don't want to hurt their mother and son until the end."
The man in white smiled and said: "When you enter our Ansheng Palace and learn the immortal magic, even the princess will give you face. Then we can bring them back."
Chen Yingdao: "All this will still trouble Brother Sun."
"Easy to say, haha..." The man in white smiled.
After talking to the man in white, Chen Ying felt a lot more relaxed and returned to the princess mansion with a smile.
As soon as she opened the door, she saw the beautiful and noble princess sitting beside her. Chen Ying's heart sank slightly because the princess's face was sarcastic.
"What's wrong, Your Highness?" Chen Ying leaned over and gently touched the princess's shoulder.
The princess regained her expression and said: "The prince-in-law is really a good man. He has a good wife and filial son at home, but he still comes to provoke me, a lonely man!"
Chen Ying's heart was shaken, and a dry smile appeared on her face: "Did the princess hear some nonsense again?"
"I don't dare." A sneer appeared on the princess's face, "I have hidden it for you, but if she lives, she will be your eternal scandal. You don't need a concubine! If you want to be a commoner, I will help you.
But you still want to be a highly respected minister, with power in your hands, and the aristocratic dignity of being a relative of the emperor, so then deal with her properly!"
Good solution!
This sentence made Chen Ying's heart tremble. He twisted his stiff neck and said in a dry voice: "Princess, what do you mean?"
The princess turned her head, stared into Chen Ying's eyes, looked at him, and said word for word: "I made it very clear, you will go to jail, you will have no concubines! You choose one!"
Chen Ying's face darkened, he clenched his fists and had a cold sweat on his forehead.
After a moment: "Okay, I will do as your Highness orders!"
The princess smiled and said: "This is my good husband. As for your son, you can consider him your godson in the future, and I will treat him as your biological son. Go ahead and don't let me down."
"Yes!" Chen Ying had a cold look in his eyes.
Xianglian, don’t blame me for being ruthless, but it’s just that it’s hard to give up the position of consort!
Being able to keep a son already made Chen Ying satisfied. As for Qin, he could only say I'm sorry and I'll pay him back in the next life!
After Chen Ying left, the princess leaned against the bed with a sneer in her eyes: "I will treat him as my biological son only if he lives. If he can't live, there is nothing I can do about it, my consort!"
