She had never seen these old men before, and they were obviously not the Ouchi guards. Although the Ouchi guards were strong in martial arts, they were not that old.
Looking at these old men, all of them looked as sad as if their parents were dead, as if they didn't even pay attention to their mother-in-law. It was obvious that they had a great background.
She was as smart as ice and snow, and she vaguely guessed that they were the Dragon Guards of Tianwu Palace.
Eunuch Ma smiled and said: "Madam, this is your Majesty's oral order. Our family has no choice but to obey it. As for the reason, please ask your Majesty personally."
"Are they here to protect me?" Concubine Yue Xianxiancong pointed at the eight old men.
Eunuch Ma nodded: "Yes."
Concubine Yue's beautiful face remained calm as she said calmly: "Where is the Snow Palace?"
Ma Eunuch's frosty brows twitched and he shook his head: "We don't know where Lady Snow is. Your Majesty only ordered us to bring people here."
Concubine Yue nodded gently: "Well, there is Eunuch Laoma!... Your Majesty, will you come over tonight?"
"Mother, we don't know." Eunuch Ma shook his head and smiled.
Concubine Yue nodded: "Okay, I want to take a walk, do you want to follow me?"
"Yes, let's start today and never leave your mother's side." Eunuch Ma said with a smile.
"It's up to you!" Yue Fei Yingying stood up and walked slowly forward along the cobblestone path, passing by clusters of flowers, calm, calm and elegant.
She held the piece of plain paper in her left fist, which had been crumpled into a small ball, and her bright eyes were twinkling, like ripples of light.
Every time she thought about what was written in the letter, she gritted her teeth, but she was also afraid. This master was really powerful. If he really wanted to kill her, he would not even bother.
The top priority is to find a master to protect yourself, otherwise your life will be in the palm of others' hands and your life will be in danger at any time. Such masters are really a disaster!
The letter said that the Fang family could not be attacked. Fortunately, the Fang family was here, and they had a talisman. However, if something unexpected happened to the Fang family, it would be an unjust death.
But is Concubine Xue dead or not?!
While she was walking leisurely on the path, she was thinking and considering in her heart. Thinking about how to deal with it, the best way to deal with it was to get rid of that person!
All sects are useless in the face of absolute strength, but there are many masters in the palace, and the Tianwu Hall enshrines countless masters. If they want to kill someone, they will never be able to escape.
But it's a pity that I can't assign these people to do things. They only take orders from His Majesty. They can only convince His Majesty, but if that happens, His Majesty will have doubts.
Although you still have a child to protect yourself, your majesty will not do anything to yourself, but it is better not to rip it off, and it is best not to let your majesty know.
The night was dim, the Moon Palace was brightly lit, and Concubine Yue was sitting blankly in front of the dressing table putting on her makeup, with her mind wandering, when suddenly a leisurely voice sounded: "Your Majesty has arrived."
Then the sound of footsteps came, and a heroic old man wearing a bright yellow gown slowly came over. Concubine Yue stood up and stepped forward and bowed: "Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianmi waved his hand: "Okay, no need to be polite...just step aside."
Everyone retreated in silence, and in a blink of an eye there were only two people left in the hall. Emperor Tianmi slowly walked to the table and sat down with a gloomy face. He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then put it down on the table with a "bang"
Go up and hum: "What the hell, these slaves are getting bolder and bolder!"
The atmosphere in the hall suddenly became solemn, and Concubine Yue's heart sank. She walked gently to his side and said softly: "Your Majesty, is there anything that doesn't go well with you?"
Emperor Tianmi glanced at her and hummed: "Nothing!"
"Which minister is acting stupid again, or are they doing things poorly?" Yue Fei asked softly, picked up the teapot, and poured another cup of tea.
Emperor Tian Mi said coldly: "They all regard my tolerance as soft-heartedness, and they all act unscrupulously and can do anything!"
Concubine Yue advised softly: "Why should your Majesty be angry? The dragon body is important...Besides, it's not too late to find out first. Maybe they are also unjustly accused."
Emperor Tian Mi looked at her coldly: "Yue'er, how are you doing today?"
Concubine Yue smiled softly and said: "Your Majesty scared me. Why did you suddenly send someone to protect me? Did an assassin come in? ... It doesn't matter if I have something to do. If you disturb the child, I will never redeem myself!"
Emperor Tianmi snorted: "I also suddenly thought of it, so I sent someone over to prevent someone from taking advantage of the loophole and frightening Yue'er!"
Concubine Yue smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty."
Emperor Tianmi said: "Yue'er, I took Xue'er to a nunnery outside the palace today."
"What?!" Yue Fei was startled, her face changed drastically, she covered the cherry mouth and shouted: "Sister Xue, she...she...?"
Emperor Tian Mi snorted and said, "I have been having nightmares these past few days, so I asked her to recite sutras for me for a while, as a way to pray for me!"
Concubine Yue nodded slowly: "So that's it!... Your Majesty has worked so hard. I thank you on behalf of the child!"
She was worried and didn't know whether it was true or not, but it sounded like Emperor Tianmi was trying to prevent Concubine Xue from causing trouble, and was worried that something might happen to the child, so he sent her out of the palace in advance.
However, she had already received the news that Concubine Xue had indeed been poisoned. The poison was so violent that there was no cure, and there was no possibility of survival.
But there is some mystery in the emperor's words. Concubine Xue is really dead, why do you need to say these words? It seems that this master took Concubine Xue away, and maybe he has met the emperor.
Because of the existence of eight dragon guards, she had not dared to act rashly. She did not send anyone to inquire about the Snow Palace for fear of arousing suspicion. Seeing that her guess was correct, the emperor would not send dragon guards here for no reason.
Emperor Tianmi's face was gloomy, like a ball of fire hidden in his body, ready to be released at any time. He was already majestic, and it would be terrifying to be angry at this time.
However, Concubine Yue was not afraid at all and said softly: "Your Majesty, what do you think we should name our child?"
"It's not too late to talk about it in the future." Emperor Tianmi shook his head, stood up and said, "I'm tired today, so I'll go back and have a rest first. You should also have a good rest, don't be too tired."
"Your Majesty, why don't you rest here?" Yue Fei said softly.
Emperor Tianmi waved his hand, turned around and walked out. The sound of footsteps sounded, and Concubine Yue followed him outside the palace. He saw a large group of people, including about fifty old eunuchs in purple clothes, standing outside.
She recognized at a glance that these old eunuchs were all dragon guards of Tianwu Palace. Standing there they seemed to blend into the night, making it difficult to really notice them.
They formed a circle around Emperor Tianmi, as if they were facing a formidable enemy. They slowly walked out of the Moon Palace and disappeared into the night.
Concubine Yue frowned in thought. It seemed that the emperor was also afraid of this master. I wonder if he would send someone to assassinate him. There were many masters in Tianwu Hall, so they must be able to kill that man.
She thought about it and stamped her foot angrily. Where could this Fang Huaixue find such an outstanding master? It seemed that if she wanted to kill that person, she would need a profuse master to take action.
Thinking of this, she returned to the main hall, wrote a few words under the lamp, and then asked a personal maid to come in. After giving a few instructions, she lay down to rest.
She was sure that the emperor knew what she had done and was very angry, so she left the Moon Palace and stopped staying overnight. However, she was still angry and worried that something might happen to her body.
She shook her head and sighed. The opportunity was rare. If she didn't take this opportunity to deal with Fang Huaixue, there would be endless troubles in the future, and she might even endanger her own child!
After Emperor Tianmi returned to his palace, he stamped his feet, picked up a jade cup and threw it to the ground. Although the carpet was thick, the jade cup still fell into pieces.
He shouted angrily in a deep voice: "Have you found out? Has anyone been to the Snow Palace?!"
The figure flashed, and a gray-clothed eunuch suddenly appeared and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, I found out clearly that he is a guest of the Fang family, his surname is Li Zhanran."
He has an ordinary appearance. At first glance, he looks middle-aged. There are only wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and the rest of his face is flat and smooth. However, upon closer inspection, there is vicissitudes of life hanging between his eyebrows, which are the traces left by the years. His eyes are vicissitudes of life and peaceful, and he is obviously an old man.
eyes.
His voice was soft, his tone was soothing and calm, and he had a magnanimous demeanor, but there was no trace of personal emotion in his words, and he was fair and peaceful.
"Fang's guest!?" Emperor Tianmi turned his head and looked over.
"Yes." The eunuch in gray nodded gently.
Emperor Tianmi chuckled, shook his head and said: "How can a guest from the Fang family be so capable!?"
The gray-clothed eunuch smiled slightly and said softly: "Your Majesty, there are vast wilderness hidden in dense forests, and huge snakes hidden in deep swamps. We must not underestimate the martial arts heroes."
"Hehe, what a guest from the Fang family!" Emperor Tianmi sneered.
The gray-clothed eunuch shook his head and said: "The Fang family has always treated people with sincerity and suffered countless losses. However, they have also formed good relationships with many top masters. However, I didn't expect that this guest surnamed Li, Mrs. Wu, would be so shocking.
.”
Emperor Tianmi said coldly: "Can we kill him?"
"I don't know." The eunuch in gray shook his head and sighed: "He can come in silently, his cultivation is amazing, and he is a threat to His Majesty."
"Just kill him!" Emperor Tianmi said coldly.
The gray-clothed eunuch shook his head: "Your Majesty, to deal with such a master, it is useless if there are few people, but it is useless if there are too many people."
"Just go with more people!" Emperor Tianmi said.
For such a person who poses a threat to himself, he must either adopt it for his own use or eliminate it, otherwise he will not be able to rest at ease.
The eunuch in gray sighed: "Your Majesty, there are too many people, and there are not enough guards in the palace. Wouldn't it be dangerous if he tried to divert the tiger away from the mountain?... Now that we are on guard, it will be difficult for him to come in. Your Majesty, don't worry.
"
"In this case, there is nothing to think about?" Emperor Tianmi said coldly.
The gray-clothed eunuch said: "Such a person is transcendent from the world and cannot be suppressed forcefully. He needs to learn the methods of the Fang family and treat him as a national scholar. He will naturally repay him as a national scholar. Your Majesty is wise in the world and has a broad mind. Still,
The best is to be gentle."
Emperor Tianmi pondered and shook his head: "Looking at the tone of his letter, it's obvious that he doesn't take me seriously. Even being gentle will not help."
The gray-clothed eunuch sighed: "Your Majesty, think twice. If you want to kill him by force, the gains will outweigh the losses... You only have one chance. If you can't succeed, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles!"
"Humph, we can't keep this person!" Emperor Tianmi said coldly.
The gray-clothed eunuch said: "Then we need to be extremely careful in our actions, lurking in it unknowingly, and pretending to be someone else. If things don't go well, there is still room for change."
"Well, you should be responsible for this matter!" Emperor Tianmi nodded, shook his head and let out a long sigh: "Oh, it's all my fault for being careless. I didn't expect Concubine Yue to be so vicious!"
"I don't know what's wrong with Concubine Xue," the eunuch in gray said softly.
Emperor Tianmi shook his head: "I'm sorry for Xue'er. I only thought that Xue'er would not harm Concubine Yue, but I never thought that Concubine Yue would harm Xue'er instead!"
The eunuch in gray said warmly: "Since the matter has already happened, Your Majesty does not need to blame yourself too much. Concubine Xue will not blame Your Majesty."
"It's all my fault for indulging Concubine Yue too much!" Emperor Tianmi shook his head and sighed, "If it weren't for my son, I would have..., hum!"
The eunuchs in gray remained silent, honest officials found it difficult to deal with household affairs, the harems of all dynasties were full of conspiracies and intrigues, and the fierceness of the struggle was no less fierce than in the court, and no dynasty could avoid it.
Concubine Xue and Concubine Yue were both strict and fair, while the other was as cunning as a fox. Concubine Xue was in power and would not hurt Concubine Yue's life, but Concubine Yue would never be soft-hearted when she was in power.
His Majesty also understands the key point in this, but he just ignores his feelings and fails to make a decision.
There is a Taoist temple outside Bailing City. It was originally deserted and deserted, but after the death of the previous Taoist priest, there were no successors, so it became deserted.
Moreover, Nanli worships Buddhism and Taoism is not popular. People only go to Buddhist temples to ask for blessings and send incense and not to Taoist temples, so no one cares about this Taoist temple.
In the past few days, it has become lively. A group of people came and occupied the Taoist temple, which made the originally empty Taoist temple popular and really lively.
However, these people are a bit weird. The men are a bit feminine and the women are pretty. They are all beauties of average to above average appearance. Although Bailing City is a big city, it is impossible to find so many beauties at once.
Some people saw it from a distance, but these people had extraordinary magnanimity. When they wanted to get closer to have a look, someone would suddenly appear, block the way, and give a warning.
As a result, people became more and more curious. There were extraordinary martial arts figures, but none of them could come within a mile of the Taoist temple. Once they entered the circle, they would be knocked unconscious and thrown out.
At first there were still people who were unconvinced and wanted to try it out. Then one day, the person who had fainted woke up without his martial arts, which frightened all the people in the martial arts community. They were deprived of their martial arts just for the sake of curiosity and excitement. It was really too much.
Not worth it anymore.
After the Qingfeng Taoist Temple became quiet, the surrounding area became a restricted area. However, there were always some top masters who were unconvinced and regarded it as a challenge. They went secretly, but in the end they were still disabled. The most powerful person was
Feng Zhijian in Sword Journey to the Eight Wildernesses.
This Feng Zhijian is extremely skilled in martial arts and swordsmanship. It is said that with his martial arts, once he enters the Fang family, he is enough to become a first-class worshiper. However, he is naturally arrogant and will never enter the Fang family as a guest. He is also considered the overlord in Bailing City, but he did not expect that
, he actually folded here!
Feng Zhijian's broken halberd rang a bell for everyone, letting them understand that this was no joke. Once he really invaded within one mile of Qingfengguan, he would definitely end up being abolished. There would be no luck, unless his own
Wu is stronger than Feng Zhijian.
Qingfeng Temple is divided into two courtyards: the front courtyard is the Taoist temple, and the backyard is the residence. The Taoist temple is not big, so it would be a bit crowded if there were more than a hundred people living there.
Some new houses were built around the Taoist temple, where the guards lived and guarded the Taoist temple.
Those women lived in the front yard of the Taoist temple, but the back yard was extremely quiet. There was only one female crown wearing a feathered coat who lived there. She was beautiful and beautiful, and she was Xue Fei.
Li Muchan moved the entire Snow Palace here. He tried his best to get them out of the palace one by one. Then he passed through the Fang family and hired a motorcade to drive them to Bailing City. When they arrived at this Qingfeng
Look at the footing and place it properly.
The early morning wind came slowly, blowing a small bamboo forest in the backyard. This small bamboo forest was located in the southwest corner. There were about thirty or forty moso bamboo trees. A gust of wind blew and rustled.
Concubine Xue wore a jade-white Taoist robe and stood quietly by the bamboo forest. Listening to the rustling, she sighed leisurely: "Since we have left the palace, why bother bringing them here?"
Li Muchan wore a purple robe, stood beside her with his hands folded, and said with a smile: "If they stay, they will only die. Can you bear to hurt them?"
"Alas..., the lives of the people in the palace are like ants." Concubine Xue shook her head.
Li Muchan smiled: "So it's best to take them with you. No matter inside or outside the palace, you will always be the imperial concubine."
"It's already come to this, and you still have to take care of me!" Xue Fei glared at him angrily.
Li Muchan smiled and said, "You still can't let go, right?"
Concubine Xue hummed: "It's all out. If you can't let it go, you have to let it go."
Li Muchan smiled and said, "If you can't let go, I'll find another way to send you back."
Concubine Xue rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Do you think the palace is your home? You can come and go when you want?...I am only worried about one thing now, which is that it will bring trouble to the family!"
Although she didn't want to come out, Li Muchan forced her to take her away, and she gave in half-heartedly. She could feel his overbearing love and she melted. She couldn't resist, so she stopped resisting. Instead, she felt a little satisfied.
Li Muchan smiled, shook his head and said, "Why do I come here? I just want to keep an eye on the Fang family and rescue people directly if the Fang family is in trouble."
Concubine Xue rolled her eyes at him and said nothing more. He could bring herself and the entire Snow Palace people from the palace, and believed that he could also save the people in Fang Palace, so she was a little relieved.
Concubine Xue hummed: "You wrote two letters, one to Concubine Yue and one to His Majesty, right?"
Li Muchan nodded: "You are smart, how did you guess it?"
Concubine Xue said: "I'll know after asking the guards...what did the letter say?"
Li Muchan smiled and said: "I told the emperor that you are not feeling well, go to the temple to rest for a while, and then go back later. Please ask the emperor not to send anyone over, and I told Concubine Yue not to deal with the Fang family, so as not to make mistakes.
