Chapter 58 The Widow Knows Your Secret
After dinner, it was still dark, so Yin Quan did not let his men follow him, and walked alone to the back garden of the palace. Of course, from the surface, there was indeed no one guarding Yin Quan behind him, but if there was really an assassin who dared to take action, I guarantee that
Yin Quan was already knocked unconscious and dragged away before he could even get a hundred steps away. No one had tried it in the past few years, and each death method was more tragic than the last. Later, no one was willing to try it, because everyone who tried it was reincarnated.
Yin Quan came alone to the strange stone forest by Tongxin Lake in the back garden. There was a secret underground palace under the strange stone forest, which was where Zhu Tianba used to heal his injuries. After Zhu Tianba recovered from his injury, Yin Quan let him live in the palace.
Zhu Tianba left the palace these days, saying that he had something important to do, and would come back in a month. But the day before yesterday, he sent a message through a vampire bat, saying that he had something important to do in Huzhou, and asked the prince to wait a little longer.
Sitting on a strange rhinoceros-like rock, Yin Quan smiled. These strange stones came from various states in the Great Shang Dynasty. Even if they were half bought and half snatched, they would cost more than hundreds of thousands of taels. Of course, Yin Quan knew it well.
None of my men were good men and women, so they naturally robbed more and bought less. Otherwise, tens of millions of taels of silver would not be able to buy these stones.
But Yin Quan doesn't care about the feelings of these people. What can I do if I rob you? I only blame you for your bad life. Who made me fall in love with what you have in your hands? Don't talk about a few stones. Wait someday.
I have taken over the country, and your life is still in my hands!
The most beautiful stone in the strange stone forest is undoubtedly the stone named Tiannu Watching the Moon. It was originally produced in Tianjing Lake in Mingyang Mountain. It was obtained by Qiu Jie, the Duke of Lu State, who loved stones as much as his life. He worked hard to get it and placed it here.
Beside the Moon Quiet Pond in the back garden of the Duke's Mansion, my treasure is as precious as my heart.
Diao Xionggui, the deputy general manager of the Pingxi Palace, went to see Lu Guogong Qiu Jie and said that the Pingxi Palace was willing to pay one million taels of silver to buy the piece of Heavenly Lady Watching the Moon. Qiu Jie insisted not to sell it, but Diao Xionggui didn't talk nonsense. He sneered a few times and walked away.
A few days later, Qiu Jie, who couldn't sleep, obediently sent someone to deliver the stone to Prince Pingxi's Mansion, and also attached a sincere letter, saying that the prince liked this stone, so how could he spend money to buy it?
Aren't you going to slap me, Qiu Jie, in the face? Swords have been given to heroes since ancient times, and it would only make sense to give such a precious stone to the prince!
Now that the powerful Duke of Lu has made such a start, it is even more difficult for the other princes to say anything. If you have strange stones, just offer them to the prince as soon as possible, otherwise wait for the prince to send someone to your house to "buy" them.
When you are young, how do you look good in terms of face? In fact, whether you look good on face is a secondary issue. The truth is that the prince gives you money, do you dare to ask for it? Are you really afraid that you will lose your life if you take the money?
There is also a strange stone in the strange stone forest, which comes from the house of Liu Biguang, the Marquis of Chiling. Of course, Yin Quan did not ask for his stone in vain, and gave Liu Biguang four beauties and three thousand taels of silver.
The prince fell in love with this stone and didn't send anyone to snatch it away. Liu Biguang was so grateful that he came to the prince's palace in person to express his gratitude. Yin Quan stayed with him for a light meal and some friendly relations. He might be able to use it when he goes north to Yong'an in the future!
Because of a stone, two people have a friendship, so it is not a loss.
Of course, there are also those who are ignorant. For example, the Zheng family in Chixia County, Lingdong Road, which is engaged in silk business, is wealthy and has an in-law who is the Minister of War in the court. They don't take Yin Quan seriously at all. You give us money to buy stones.
No, we have plenty of money, and we don’t bother to curry favor with you, King Pingxi. The Emperor is far away, and Chixia County is more than four thousand miles away from the Southwest Road. No matter how long your hands are, King Pingxi, you can’t reach Lingdong Road, right?
Yin Quan, who was slapped in the face, did not say a word. After a while, the Zheng family in Chixia County suffered an inexplicable fire. The mansion covering an area of hundreds of acres was burned to the ground. The stone that the prince wanted was burned to the ground in a month.
Later, it suddenly appeared in the strange stone forest of Pingxi Prince's Mansion. Rumor has it that after Yin Quan saw this stone, he laughed very happily and said: "Give me something, and you must give me your life!"
Prince Pingxi is a dandy who doesn’t know how to reason. Apart from the late Emperor Hui Zong, is there any other dandy in this dynasty who is more like a dandy than this dandy?
If you dare to reason with him with your mouth, his response will definitely be fists and knives. It is not difficult for a person to do a bad thing. What is difficult is to persist in doing bad things for a lifetime. Unfortunately, Wang Yinquan of Pingxi is this kind of person.
To sum up, there are not many people in the entire Great Shang Kingdom who dare to reason with King Ping Xi, but there are only a few people such as Yin Guang, Yang Jingzhong, and Tang Fulong. Yin Guang dares to reason with Yin Quan, even if he has no power, he is still the emperor.
Yang Jingzhong dared to reason with Yin Quan because he stood by the emperor's side, while Tang Fulong dared to reason with Yin Quan because he was an uncrowned king who had both power and no desires.
Of course, in addition to the above three people, there are a few people in the court and in the world who can talk to Yin Quan, but they have to be pushed to the last resort. Yin Quan is not a fool, and he is not willing to provoke these people, at least
We can't provoke him yet.
Looking at these stones from all over Dashang, Yin Quan seemed to see the whole world. Yin Guang stretched out his hand, grasped it, looked back at Tongxin Lake, and said with a dreamy smile: "You are all mine!" After a while, he looked back at Tongxin Lake.
Dumbfounded, Yin Quan suddenly felt that he should go to Dexian Academy. The last time he went there was two months ago.
As soon as Yin Quan jumped down from the stone, two little maids thoughtfully came to greet the prince carrying two pink butterfly palace lanterns. Yin Quan followed the two little maids with cheerful steps, and suddenly felt that he was young again, like
Back to the age of sixteen.
That year, he saw Ximen Yuxue for the first time. At that time, she was like a fairy who had been banished to the mortal world. Her beauty was breathtaking and unparalleled. That year, he was not King Pingxi, but the prince of Pingxi.
He vowed at that time that he would marry this heart-wrenchingly beautiful woman as his royal concubine!
Two months later, he got his wish, but as time went by, his love for her gradually faded. No matter how beautiful the orioles snatched from outside were, they were not as beautiful as Ximen Yuxue. After all, there was a saying in the market: Dashang
Three beauties, Yuxue is the leader.
It stands to reason that Yin Quan should be satisfied with marrying the most beautiful woman in the world at that time. However, his love for her is fading, even though she has the most beautiful face in the world. After having more women outside
, he discovered that he wanted more than just beautiful women, he also wanted the feeling of conquest.
His father was the Prince of Pingxi. Before his death, he could not win a hereditary replacement for him, so he became the Prince of Pingxi County. He was forced to be demoted to a hereditary rank. His son's generation could only be demoted to the rank of Duke. He was unwilling to accept it.
Of course I am not willing to give in. In terms of appearance, talent, and ability, you, Yin Guang, can't compare to me, Yin Quan! Why can you, Yin Guang, be the emperor if we are all descendants of Taizu?
When Yin Quan was walking on the road to Dexian Courtyard, the huge palace was already brightly lit, and the maids, maids, eunuchs and servants who had met the prince hurriedly knelt on the ground. Everyone was afraid of the moody prince.
Yin Quan simply ignored these servants who were as humble as ants.
According to the "Regulations of the Great Shang Zongfan" formulated by Taizu of the Great Shang Dynasty, the prince's palace can have twenty maids and twenty eunuchs. However, when the palace secretary selected people from the palace to serve in each prince's palace, the eunuchs and palace maids all cried.
He didn't want to come to Prince Pingxi's Palace, so he bribed the palace manager and tried every means to avoid being selected into Prince Pingxi's Palace.
Finally, some mediocre-looking maids and poor and ugly eunuchs were sent to the Pingxi Palace. The most ridiculous thing is that when the late emperor was still alive, he wanted to give Yin Quan a bearded dog, but the animal ended up holding the late emperor's dragon in its mouth.
He wailed at the edge of his robe to show that he did not want to come to Pingxi Prince's Mansion. Those who took pleasure in misfortune gave Yin Quan the nickname "Prince Goubuli".
Therefore, one of the great wonders of Pingxi Palace is that the maids in the palace are generally plain-looking and far less beautiful than the maids. However, Yin Quan does not care whether he is following a maid or a maid. One day, the whole world will belong to the few.
I want to see how you palace ladies and eunuchs who don’t want to come to Pingxi Prince’s Mansion can hide in the sky?
Yin with a smile on her lips
Quan, had arrived at the gate of Dexian Courtyard, and unexpectedly found that the door was closed. Yin Quan's face suddenly turned cloudy, with a look of displeasure on his face. The little maid Mo Ya, who was holding the palace lantern, was always good at observing faces, and when she saw that her master was not
Happy, he hurriedly knocked on the door and shouted: "Sister Liuli, open the door quickly, the prince is here!"
After a moment, there were chaotic footsteps inside, and a palace maid and four little maids hurriedly opened the door of Dexian Courtyard. When they saw Yin Quan standing outside the door, his face as heavy as water, the palace maid Liuli and the maids panicked.
They knelt on the ground together and said loudly: "See you, Your Majesty!" Liuli kowtowed again: "I didn't know that Your Majesty was coming. I closed the door early tonight. Please forgive me!"
Yin Quan glanced at the plain-looking palace maid Liuli, snorted, bent down, leaned close to Liuli's ear, and lowered his voice and asked: "You are so loud to see the prince, are you afraid that the people inside can't hear you?"
What, is it possible that your princess is stealing a man in there? Has you become so panicked?"
Liuli knelt on the ground and trembled into a ball, kowtowing repeatedly, "Your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, your Majesty, she is not feeling well today, so I closed the door early. If I had known that Your Majesty was coming today, I would not have dared to close the door even if I was beaten to death."
!”
"Okay, I'm kidding you, are you so scared? I'm not a man-eating beast!" Yin Quan stretched out his hand, gritted his teeth and slapped Liuli's face hard several times, "You're such a good slave.
, if she dies one day, I really have to ask you to bury her!"
Liuli, who was kneeling on the ground, had tears streaming down her face and kept kowtowing, not daring to say another word. Yin Quan snorted coldly and winked at one of the maids, asking her to look at these palace maids, except Mo Ya.
People walked towards Runyu Pavilion in Dexian Courtyard. Ximen Yuxue usually lived in Runyu Pavilion.
The little maid Mo Ya held a lantern for the prince and arrived at the entrance of Runyu Pavilion. Yin Quan looked back at her and smiled warmly, "Okay, you go!" The little maid was flattered and quickly gave the prince a blessing, then walked backwards out of the yard.
, after leaving the yard, Mo Ya patted her chest with her hands and thought to herself, everyone said that the prince is fierce, but the prince looks so handsome when he smiles!
Standing at the door of Runyu Pavilion, Yin Quan smiled inexplicably, and then asked: "Yuxue, have you gone to bed? Are you feeling unwell? I'm here to see you."
Soon, the lights in the room were lit. Princess Ximen Yuxue was wearing a pajamas. She took it out sleepily and knelt down to salute, "I see you, the prince! I don't know that the prince is coming tonight. I don't feel well."
If you feel comfortable, go to bed first."
Yin Quan gently supported Ximen Yuxue with his hand and said in a gentle voice, "Excuse me. Xue'er, are you feeling uncomfortable? I have been busy with government affairs for a long time and have not taken good care of you. Look, you are haggard and thin.
Already."
Ximen Yuxue's hands shook. She hadn't heard him speak so gently for a long time. She raised her head suspiciously and looked at him. After a while, her mind returned to clarity and she said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late and it's cold outside. Come in and talk.
.”
Yin Quan's arms naturally wrapped around Ximen Yuxue's waist. Her delicate body suddenly stiffened, but she immediately pretended as if nothing had happened. The two of them cuddled up to the bedside of Babu in the inner room of Runyu Pavilion. Yin Quan sat at the bedside.
Beside the bed, I glanced at Ximen Yuxue's somewhat embarrassed expression under the dim light, and suddenly asked through gritted teeth, "Do you feel good about stealing from men behind closed doors?"
Ximen Yuxue was caught off guard, her face turned pale with fright, and she knelt down in front of Yin Quan, trembling all over, "Your Majesty..."
Yin Quan suddenly raised his head and laughed, "It doesn't matter, I already knew it!" Yin Quan picked up the half-naked Ximen Yushuang and threw her on the bed, slapped her hard on the buttocks, and smiled ferociously.
Said: "Only this is exciting! You bitch who steals a man behind my back!"
