"Your Majesty? Your Majesty" the maids and eunuchs both knelt down and shouted.
The emperor jumped up and touched his body. His first reaction was that he was still alive. It seemed that he was not even injured at all. He couldn't help shouting: "Where is the Black Lotus and Agarwood? Where is my destiny?"
At this time, a beauty dressed as a queen came over after hearing the sound and shooed away the palace man with strange eyes. She thought for a while and tried to whisper: "Your Majesty is asking about the sacrifice to heaven half a month ago.
"What? I've been unconscious for half a month." The emperor was stunned. He couldn't imagine how harmful such a long power vacuum would be. He woke up again and grabbed her shoulders. He shook her like a drowning person grabbing a life-saving straw: "Yes, yes,
How is the sacrifice to heaven... going? How is it going?"
The queen endured the pain. She was not the emperor's first wife and did not dare to show any pain. She whispered: "It rained heavily and a bolt of lightning struck the Temple of Heaven. Your Majesty, you fainted."
"The imperial doctor said that you got sick from overwork and were frightened by the rain. The black lotus and agarwood were chopped into ashes by lightning, and the sacrifice to the sky was over. I'm afraid..."
"Several imperial doctors also checked your body and found that you were injured by lightning. I'm afraid you are the only one." She hesitated, not daring to look at the emperor's face.
"I...what's wrong?" The emperor said hoarsely, his eyes cold.
"The imperial doctor said that your vitality has been greatly reduced and you only have three years to live." The queen turned pale and flushed, and her voice was very low: "And the kidney water is damaged, so you can no longer have sex..."
The emperor was stunned: "I only have three years to live...can't have sex? But I don't have a son yet...will my lineage end here?"
The young queen did not dare to respond, knowing that she might not be able to have a future, and could be adopted by a branch of the clan. However, this situation undoubtedly took another pillar out of the precarious building of the Xiang Dynasty, and I am afraid it is really going to end...
“Why did God do this to me——”
The emperor was not aware of his wife's separation. He just cried and laughed, wandering around the palace like crazy: "Ah, it's not my fault, it's fate, it's Taizu's fault, it's all you who forced me to——"
He was making a big fuss with disheveled hair, and even found a sword and slashed everywhere, as if there was an imaginary enemy in the air, shouting nonsense: "And you, if you dare to attack me...I will kill your whole family, I will kill your whole family...I will
I want the men in your family to be slaves forever and the women to be prostitutes forever..."
"Has your Majesty lost his mind and gone crazy? But he seems to be sane...or is it because the shock was too great and he just vented his anger?" The queen was also stunned by this scene. She did not dare to face the crazy emperor and ran away from this gloomy place.
In the dormitory, I breathed a sigh of relief when I went out to see the sunshine.
But when she saw the palace people looking at her with strange eyes, she quickly sternly said: "Today's incident is not allowed to be spread to the outside world. If I hear even the slightest bit of news, you will all die."
"This slave dare not——"
The eunuchs and maids fell to their knees one after another, dripping with cold sweat. They knew that this was because the new queen was tolerant, otherwise the queen would have killed her on the spot: "Thank you for your kindness, queen..."
The young queen also looked pale and didn't pay much attention to this. She took the jade chariot back to her palace. On the way, she suddenly remembered the vision she saw in the Temple of Heaven during the Spring Festival. She thought to herself: "Is it true that it is as rumored that your majesty did something against the will of heaven?"
Heaven's punishment? Rumors have spread all over the city in the past half month, saying that His Majesty has lost his moral character and that destiny lies with Han..."
"No wonder my father secretly told me that our family must make preparations in advance. The younger sister who was originally going to marry into the palace to consolidate her position has been sent to the south by the family to secretly confess to the new emperor of the Han people. I heard that the Han people are not good at quality women.
Rejected, I have agreed to take it in, my sister is settled, and it is normal for the family to diversify their investments...but what should I do?"
"Your Majesty? Your Majesty? Your bedroom has arrived..." the palace maid reminded in a low voice.
The young queen woke up from her deep thoughts and confusion and turned to look outside the jade chariot. The palace was filled with magnificence and noble splendor, which seemed like a dream, becoming absurd and unrealistic.
The queen gritted her teeth and entered the bedroom. At this time, it was drizzling outside. When she saw the queen coming in, all the maids in the palace knelt down. The queen smiled unnaturally and waved her hand: "You all go down, I want to be quiet."
"
"Yes" All the palace maids withdrew.
The queen wandered for a few steps, then sat on the couch again, staring into the distance and just lost her mind. When the surroundings gradually became quiet, she sighed softly.
Things in the harem, the queen passed by, were full of contradictions - the cold palace, poisonous wine, Bai Ling, these were not unfamiliar to her, and she also went through a difficult journey to reach the position of queen.
But now, she feels that all this is such an illusion, just like a dream.
If the dragon energy is gone, what kind of queen will there be?
She paused, then stood up and wandered around again. After a long time, she gritted her teeth and took out a mirror.
"Although it is taboo to check the dragon's aura, if you find out, even my queen will be punished, but at this time, can you still keep me in the dark?"
Immediately he put his index finger into his mouth, bit it, blood oozed out, and wiped it against the bronze mirror.
The bronze mirror lit up, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of torrents were revealed. Only half of the torrent was cut off, and the remaining half was just like a stream, white and red, with billowing gray and black.
Below, a red dragon had turned into gray and black, groaning. She felt that the dragon's energy was declining, and the red phoenix in the mirror was also shrinking. She took a step back and stopped watching.
Feeling helpless and helpless, there was only a faint sigh for a moment.
Xiaozhou·Xinhou Mansion
In the middle of the night, a scream of "Ah" came from the backyard. A lamp was lit in the master bedroom. A red gauze dress was put up to cover the white body. She supported her husband with concern: "Are you having a nightmare?"
"no……"
Zhang Weicun just waved his hand and rummaged around under his pillow. When he found the Emperor's Seal of the Two Prefectures of Xiaoxiang, he found that one of the jade seals had lost its aura. He was stunned: "It's just like in the dream... how is it possible?"
Hong Xiao asked in confusion: "Husband, what's wrong with this seal?"
"I deliberately did not give this seal so that Ye Qing could not communicate with the dark side dragon energy. The yin and yang of the lower earth did not match the upper earth. Even if he bought the cave sky, he would not get the benefits of the yang transformation of the lower earth..."
"As for the real person after Yanghua, the people of Hunan always have their hearts set on me. It's like borrowing a chicken to lay an egg... Now that the jade seal has changed, is it possible that this guy overthrew the Xiang Dynasty in a few months?"
"Even if I also brought my troops to Xiaozhou to replicate the victory, it still took two years... How could there be such a gap? Moreover, even if the dynasty is replaced, there is a gradual process. It is impossible for destiny to change overnight... What do I think?
It doesn’t make sense, what happened to the Hunan Dynasty down there?”
Hong Xiao's eyes flashed slightly when she heard this, and she thought that it was no wonder that when she asked if she would give this jade seal, her husband put it away on the spot with a look of treasure on his face, and all the details were aligned in his heart.
At this time, when she recalled that her husband had not told her these important things, she was inevitably a little unhappy. However, Hunan women’s habit of having their husbands follow their husbands made her just try to persuade her: “It may not be like this. Yin and Yang are so unpredictable. It may be some other problem.”
."
"People don't understand your women's ways." Zhang Weicun waved his hands and paced back and forth in the room, worried: "If I lose the talent support of Xiangzhou's Xiatu Yanghua, it will be like losing one of my wings, and I will still be a Marquis of Xiangzhou.
?My father-in-law, Uncle Xiang, is not investing in Xiaohou. Is it possible that I will marry again..."
When he woke up, he saw that Hong Xiao's face was very ugly, and he smiled coquettishly: "Madam, I never meant this."
"I am your real wife"
Hongxiao looked seriously into his eyes and sighed: "I know that my husband is thinking about his old relationship, so he doesn't want to be laughed at, right?"
"That's the truth. I love you the most, madam." Zhang Weicun looked deeply convinced. He touched the imperial seal with greatly damaged aura in his sleeve, as if touching the sick and damaged skin of his beloved woman, and sighed secretly.
Endless.
The value of a seal is not in its material but in its luck. Originally, this seal had both the luck of Xiaoxiang and the country, and was not inferior to the jade seal passed down by the Duke of Han Dynasty. But now it is far inferior... Even if the jade seal of the other party is still missing a corner, it is made of gold.
It is inlaid, but it is more noble than my own jade seal.
This seemed to cast a shadow on the "one way to the north, one to the south" strategy of dividing the world that the two families had just reached, and he regretted selling the Xiangzhou Cave to Ye Qing.
"The original idea was to trick Ye Qing, so that I could borrow the resources of the Han State and enjoy the profits... If I had known that something would happen to Xiatu, I would have preferred to wait until Yanghua this year before selling, but now I would have lost money..."
The hero was thinking like this, but he couldn't tell it, and he had no regret medicine to take. He was depressed for a while. He could only try to comfort himself and look forward. At least he was more powerful than the other princes of only one state, and he had been in the secret treaty of national energy in the past two years.
Able to acquire a new piece of land to the south...
Since the little fox encouraged him to go to war with Chu, it was his own chance. No matter how cunning the fox was, he couldn't defeat the old hunter, right?
He regained some confidence and said to his wife: "It's okay... you go to bed first, and I'll ask someone to find out what happened in Xiangzhou."
The door closed with a creak, and the sound of hurried footsteps faded away.
The candlelight dimly illuminated the empty room, and Hongxiao sat alone in the gauze tent, looking at the dim window lattice, listening to the thin sounds of autumn insects outside, and after a long time they both let out a faint sigh.
Inside the ship
Jia Xu and Ji Caizhu walked side by side.
"This support does not bring much wealth." Jia Xu said: "——I think that although the fleet has fought for a long time, it has gained a lot of reputation and supplies, but it is no longer cost-effective.
After that, he added: "Let's go, let's discuss it with the lord."
Ji Caizhu forced a smile and did not answer. He walked side by side with Jia Xu and looked secretly. He saw Jia Xu's eyes with a cold light. Ji Caizhu couldn't help but think to himself: "What is this poisonous man thinking in his heart?"
Just as he was thinking about it, he had already met Ye Qing. After listening to Ji Caizhu and Jia Xu's detailed explanation, Ye Qing was silent for a long time, then frowned and said, "I understand what you mean."
As he said that, he took out the jade seal and saw that the spiritual light on it gradually became pure green.
"My ships are supporting everywhere. In fact, even saving ten states is not as practical as annexing one state. Outsiders laugh and call me a fool."
Jia Xu smiled: "That's true, but for doing this great thing, my lord not only gained fame, but also gained a lot of heavenly merits, and the states also had to bleed, so it's not a loss."
"It's just that after a long battle, although the casualties of the soldiers were not heavy, they were exhausted for a long time. At the end of the strong crossbow, the arrow could not penetrate Lu's silk. My lord, please be clear."
This is actually a gentle reminder.
Ye Qing thought about Jia Xu's words for a while, then smiled and said: "Not necessarily. In terms of materials, we have obtained a lot. It can be said that if the Han Dynasty has reserves for the next ten years, we will not have much money if we continue to do so."
"Tiangong is still a bit biased. Tiangong and heavenly favors are still different - these rescues are more about heavenly favors." Ye Qing leaned up and said.
Seeing that the two of them had a clear understanding, he just smiled and thought to himself: "In order to be favored by heaven, it is necessary to break through the foreign realm - Sichuan Lin Notes These days, there has been a lot of news, I really don't know where the incarnation is, what a mess
how's it going?
Because we are separated by two domains, there is a delay in information.
