In the Yongyang Palace of Yujing, there is a side hall that is rarely visited. This palace was originally called Fenghuan Hall and was specially built by Emperor Bai Jiang for his beloved wife, Lixu. However, Lixu died of illness soon after Bai Jiangxi ascended the throne. .Therefore, he renamed the side hall where no one had lived here to the Si Nian Palace, which means "Thinking of the Splendid Years" to commemorate the memory.
For thousands of years, the successors of the Baijiang family have adhered to the ancestral precepts and have not allowed any descendants to live in this side hall. Gradually, even the palace officials who came to clean and repair have withdrawn. Now in front of the court The stone bricks on the ground have long been cracked by tree roots and wild vines, and the vermilion paint on the palace walls has fallen off in pieces. The courtyard covered with green vines is even more crowded with mosquitoes and flies, and overgrown with weeds.
However, this place provided an excellent place for Gao Li to place Ning Yue under house arrest. He had already secretly ordered people to remove all the dead vines and weeds in the courtyard, and repaired all the damaged parts of the palace. So much so that in Ning When Yue followed him into the Sinian Palace for the first time, he thought he had gone to the wrong place.
In addition to being unable to leave the Sinian Palace all day long, the red-haired girl living here is not subject to any restraint or supervision at all. There are groups of palace servants to serve her daily life every day. It does not look like she is under house arrest at all, but she seems to be a bitch. A distinguished guest was invited to be a guest. However, Ning Yue did not feel relieved because of this. On the contrary, she was losing weight day by day.
Gao Li seemed to have set up some kind of barrier in front of the palace, so that Ning Yue could no longer perform even the simplest breath. The palace walls were high, completely cutting off contact with the outside world for the girl trapped inside, and also causing her to gradually change. I became restless and would wander around the courtyard whenever I had free time, hoping to find a way to escape from here.
On this day, the girl climbed up to the top of the rockery in the garden alone and was in a daze. The name Si Nian Palace seemed to be specially chosen for it at this moment. As long as she closed her eyes, the generals who used to be in Mulu City would The days when Yan and Qi Ziyin listened to the tide together, stole persimmons, and crossed the sea, will clearly appear in her mind.
Perhaps, this is what people call the Splendid Years...
Ning Yue thought to herself, buried her head in her arms, and let out a long sigh. Thinking that she might never meet her companions again in this life, the girl's nose immediately became sore and she began to sob silently.
"Why, who bullied you?"
A voice suddenly sounded from behind, causing Ning Yue's shoulders to tremble suddenly. Looking out from between the gaps in her arms, she saw Gao Li standing under the rockery, looking at her with a gentle face, and immediately shook her head. Face past:
"None of your business!"
The red-haired girl didn't know why the other party was so kind to a prisoner, but she vaguely felt that he must want something more from her.
Gao Li was stunned, but he smiled indifferently, then waved his hand and ordered his followers to retreat:
"The daughter of the chief priest is really upright. I wonder if she is still used to living in the Si Nian Palace these days?"
"You don't have to worry about whether you're used to it or not! If you fart, let it go; if you don't fart, get out of here!"
"Isn't it inappropriate to talk to your benefactor like this?"
"You put me under house arrest and still have the nerve to claim that you are this girl's benefactor?!"
Ning Yue didn't want to talk to the other party anymore. She felt extremely disgusted even hearing one more word from him. Before she finished speaking, she jumped down from the top of the rockery and ran away towards the palace without looking back. She wanted to Avoid the other party’s entanglement.
But Gao Li caught up and grabbed the girl's sleeve: "Don't leave in a hurry. Don't you want to ask why I must keep you in this palace?"
These words were like a sharp arrow, directly hitting Ning Yue's already fragile heart - indeed, although the other party was a deacon under Kun Jie, he had been in the past few months since he left the cell and moved into the Sinian Palace. , I have never heard anyone mention the word "red-haired witch" again.
The girl also understood that since Kun Jie was able to plant his own spies in the land people's palace, if he knew his whereabouts now, he would come non-stop. But Gao Li seemed to intend to use this to prove to her , it is not just a loyal dog under Kun Jie who obeys orders.
Therefore, since the other party does not want to sacrifice his life for Kun Jie, what is the reason for locking Ning Yue in this Si Nian Palace?
After thinking about this, the red-haired girl's originally fast pace gradually slowed down. She stood at a distance of more than ten feet from the other party, turned her head and stared into her blue eyes and said:
"Then you will make your words clear today, otherwise you will never bother me again!"
Gao Li laughed again when he saw this:
"Why are you in such a hurry? I have never hosted a banquet since the girl came to this Si Nian Palace. You have lost a lot of weight recently, probably because of the neglect of the servants. Today I specially ordered the imperial dining room to prepare a few side dishes. , just talk about your inner feelings."
After finishing speaking, the man raised his hands and clapped his hands several times. As crisp applause rang out in the courtyard, a group of palace slaves were seen filing in from outside the garden. In a short time, the table was set up in the garden. Come with plenty of delicious food.
After all, it had been a long time since she had eaten properly. Ning Yue could smell the strong aroma wafting from the table, and her stomach could not help but growl. Although she was a little worried about whether the food had been tampered with, she still couldn't help it. Knowing that if he didn't eat this meal, he wouldn't be able to ask the other person why, so he calmed down and sat down without hesitation.
"That's right. Let's try this dish first. Its name is the Eight Treasures Honey Palm, which is based on the black palm of the right forefoot hunted in Tongyan Mountain, supplemented by walnuts, almonds, wolfberry, coix, sunflower seeds, and lotus seeds. , red dates and longan are soaked in honey and then steamed and smoked. It is fresh and fragrant, crispy and smooth, and is a great tonic for the body."
As Gao Li said this, Ben himself picked up a piece of bear paw cut into small squares and placed it in the girl's bowl.
At first, Ning Yue just wanted to get rid of this meal as soon as possible. Who would have expected that the bear palm seemed to explode in her mouth as soon as she took it into her mouth, and the fragrance was overflowing. Even in Jia Yunzhai, the girl had never eaten like this. The delicious taste aroused my appetite, and I ate three or four pieces in a row.
"Try this red squid fin again——"
Seeing that the girl did not resist, Gao Li raised his chopsticks and reached for another plate. However, this time Ning Yue shook her head and put down the bowl and chopsticks in her hand:
"If you treat me with so many delicacies from the mountains and seas, do you think I can finish them all?"
"It doesn't matter if you pour it out before you can finish it. These things are the ingredients prepared by the imperial dining room in the palace. Even if I eat them day and night by myself, I can't finish them. It's better to share them with the girls. "
"You are quite generous. Do you really think of yourself as the emperor living in Yujing?"
The girl snorted disdainfully, but immediately made the other party laugh and said:
"Now, all that is left of the Bai Jiang family is an idiot who doesn't understand anything. Although he is sitting in the position of emperor, he has long lost the status of emperor. You are right, in Yujing now, I am the only one who has the power to call myself the emperor!"
"Only in a place like this where there is no one around would you be so brazen and talk about sex?"
Ning Yue sneered fiercely, showing no mercy. This made Gao Li's face flash with a hint of displeasure, but soon he nodded in agreement with a self-deprecating look:
"In this world, a man as ambitious as me only thinks about two things: money and supreme power. That's why we need Miss Ning Yue's help!"
"Me? Help you? I don't even have the ability to escape from this palace right now. I don't want you to die soon. How can I help you?"
"Since Miss Ning Yue has been with Kun Jie before, she must know that there is a holy city left by our ancestors in this world, and there is a secret hidden in the city that can help me dominate the world -"
Gao Li stopped beating around the bush and went straight to the point. Only then did Ning Yue finally understand that the person in front of her had somehow learned of the existence of the ancient city and planned to seize it before Kunjie. Previously, I used myself to enter the Holy City and obtain the legendary ultimate power!
"I don't know where the holy city is."
The girl immediately shook her head and denied it. But the face of Gao Li opposite him was full of disbelief:
"As the daughter of the high priest Feng Weishu, and having lived in Cangliu City for so many years, you always have the opportunity to understand something. Besides, if you don't know anything about this, why would Kun Jie use so many We will use all our manpower to search for your whereabouts in the land kingdoms?"
"That's because I-"
Ning Yue wanted to say that Kun Jie sent people to arrest her because she had his blood. However, before she could say anything, she suddenly became worried - if the greedy Gao Li knew her true identity, There is no guarantee that he will not get into trouble and lead to even more difficult troubles.
Unexpectedly, the eunuch in front of him keenly captured the change of expression on the girl's face: "Because what happened to you?"
"Because he wants to use me to threaten my father in Cangliu City, that's all!"
Ning Yue had no choice but to cover it up in a hurry. However, the other party didn't believe it at all:
"Don't lie to me again. Due to the eruption of lava under the sea, the current Cangliu City has long been turned into a ruins under the Chanying Sea. The great priest Feng Weishu is probably dead now! Since you know this secret, One of them is no longer alive, so it makes more sense that Kun Jie tried every possible means to capture you and take you back. You can't know everything!"
Gao Li's words immediately caused a buzz in the girl's mind - although she already knew that she and Feng Weishu were not related by blood, and they had been tit-for-tat before, after all, the other party had raised her for more than ten years and had also treated her. She was loved very much. Now that she suddenly heard that she was no longer alive, Ning Yue still found it difficult to accept:
"You're talking nonsense! There is clearly a barrier protecting Cangliu City...could it be Kun Jie's fault again?!"
Suddenly learning that her hometown had been destroyed, the red-haired girl's face was filled with endless sadness. Soon, she realized who was the culprit that caused all this.
Gao Li seemed to have revealed this news to the girl intentionally, and took the opportunity to fan the flames: "So what? Now if you don't know the whereabouts of the Holy City, how can you be Kun Jie's opponent even if you want to avenge your father?" "
Ning Yue understood that no matter how hard she explained, the other party would never believe her. Instead, she changed the subject and asked loudly:
"But even if I know the whereabouts of the Holy City, what can you do?"
Gao Li put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and smiled: "It's okay to tell you. Now that idiot emperor of the Great Sheng Dynasty is obeying my words, the only thing missing now is the power to make the world fearful. As long as I can find it first The Holy City possesses the ultimate power of our ancestors, and no one in this world can be my opponent!"
"Does this mean that you want to take a piece of Kun Jie's pie? How could he agree?"
"When did I say that I would share my food with others? I suffered a lot back then, even at the cost of mutilating my body, and sneaked into Yujing alone to work as a slave. I finally climbed to where I am now step by step! But he What about Kun Jie? In addition to squandering the money that I racked my brains to send from the palace, not only did he never say a word of thanks, but he intensified and used me like an animal. The divine power of the ancestors belongs to me alone. The same goes for this world! It’s all mine!”
Gao Li said, his eyes could not help but shine with a fanatical and paranoid light, "No matter Kunjie or people on land, no one can order me to do anything! I am destined to become the new master of this land, and all living beings will You will crawl at my feet!"
Looking at the man in front of her who was about to fall into madness, Ning Yue couldn't help but sympathize with her. After a moment, she asked again:
"You are deliberately making an enemy of Kun Jie here. Aren't you afraid that he will be suspicious?"
"How can he have doubts if he is not aware of it? Not long ago, Kunjie led his troops to attack an isolated island in the sea where landmen are inhabited. He has no time to care about my affairs! Besides, even if he knows now, I don’t have to be afraid at all!”
As Gao Li said that, he stretched out his hand and pulled hard on the hook belt around his waist, and took off the thick winter robe in front of the girl! Ning Yue exclaimed and immediately put on a defensive posture However, I saw that the other party was not trying to do something evil, but was wearing a snow-white robe under the outer robe, with a soaring cloud dragon embroidered with gold thread!
"Do you know what I am wearing? This is the dragon robe of the emperor on land! The idiot emperor of the Bai Jiang clan has already agreed to hand over the jade seal of the country as soon as this year's New Year is over, announcing to the world that I am the Zen leader. !By then, even if Kunjie wants to touch me, he will never be able to defeat the entire army of the Great Sheng Dynasty!"
Ning Yue couldn't help but feel a little afraid - all living beings in the world can hardly escape from the inner demon of grievance. They are always weighing their efforts and rewards in their hearts. Once the fragile balance between the two is no longer, they will quickly fall into panic. , it is difficult to extricate yourself from the emotions of anger, resentment and hatred.
"Oh, by the way, there is one more good thing I want to tell the girl."
Gao Li laughed until the veins on his forehead bulged, and it took him a while to return to normal. Ning Yue had an ominous premonition in her heart, and asked warily:
"What good can happen?"
But the man opposite took a step forward and bullied her: "On the day of my Zen, I will announce to the world that I will marry a new queen. And that new queen will be you. Both you and I have a longer life span than people on land." It will last for a long time. If we can work together, we will surely create an immortal foundation!"
After hearing what he said, the red-haired girl's heart suddenly thumped, and she stepped back: "You should give up on this, I will never agree to marry you!"
"Don't worry, there are still a few months, and I will slowly change your mind. After all, you can't go anywhere right now!"
Gao Li didn't take it seriously at all, revealing his true face hidden under the hypocrisy, "Do you remember what I said before about the land-based island that Kun Jie attacked? I heard from him that there seemed to be people living on that island. This brat who likes to wear white clothes seems to be the young master of Ye Kingdom. If you want to ask me to find out more about that brat, you'd better be obedient. I'll give you a few days to think about it carefully!"
"Zi Yin? Is the person you are talking about Zi Yin?"
Hearing this, Ning Yue's shoulders immediately trembled involuntarily. However, Gao Li refused to say another word. He just walked past her arrogantly and walked straight to the door of the palace without looking back. one time.
