Although the snake slough is only a small piece the size of a palm, Xia Shang believes that even so, some clues can be seen from the above records.
But when Xia Shang saw the pattern on the snake's slough, his brows had already knitted together.
Just as Qin Zheng said, when she saw the snake slough, she found that it had obvious signs of being burned, causing the snake slough to be riddled with holes and the gold patterns on it to be blurred.
Xia Shang didn't get any news from it, not even a clue.
This naturally made Xia Shang feel disappointed.
But then I thought again, if the words on the snake's slough were really burned by the thunder, it might not be a bad thing.
At least there is no need to worry about trouble arising from the leakage of the general outline of the Heavenly Book to the Japanese.
Thinking of this, Xia Shang's mood gradually calmed down, he held the snake in his arms and remained silent.
Looking at Xia Shang's expression, Qin Zheng beside him couldn't help but ask: "Where did you find this thing lying on the ground?"
Xia Shang didn't hide it. He said honestly: "On that person's body, it's inside the lining of the golden robe he wears."
"I didn't expect that he actually carried it with him. Is this really the outline of the legendary Book of Heaven?"
"It doesn't matter whether it is the general outline of the Heavenly Book. If it is really burned that badly, no one will be able to get any information from it."
"That's such a pity..." Qin Zheng agreed lightly, "If you can get the general outline of the Heavenly Book, maybe you can become as powerful a figure as Emperor Taizu."
"Becoming a person like Emperor Taizu? I have never thought about it." Xia Shang suddenly felt very tired, thinking that after taking such a big risk, what he got back was a useless thing.
Thinking about it, Xia Shang took out the snake slough again and pointed to the brazier not far away: "Burn it."
Qin Zheng was stunned: "Burn it? What is recorded here is the general outline of the Book of Heaven, something that everyone in the world dreams of."
"They have all been burned. There is no point in keeping them. It is better to burn them with fire and cut off the thoughts of the people in the world."
After listening to Xia Shang's words, Qin Zheng took the snake's slough, then stood up and went to the edge of the brazier, throwing the snake's slough into the fire.
Seeing the small half of the snake sloughed off and quickly turned into ashes in the flames, Qin Zheng sighed regretfully: "Hey, the great outline of the heavenly book, how many people are willing to risk everything for it, I never thought
In the end, it ended like this. I am afraid that there will never be any general outline of the heavenly book in this world, right?"
Xia Shang sat beside the bed, looking at the flame from a distance with a gloomy expression.
Qin Zheng turned around and saw that Xia Shang's face was not good. She returned to the bed with concern and held Xia Shang's hand: "What's wrong with you?"
Xia Shang stared at Qin Zheng closely without saying a word, his expression a little strange.
"You...why are you looking at me like that?"
"Everything that happened today must have shocked you, right?" Xia Shang's voice changed and became much gentler.
Qin Zheng was slightly startled, as if she didn't expect Xia Shang's mood to change so quickly, but she quickly accepted the other party's concern, and her expression softened a lot: "Yes, today... no, it's what happened last night.
It's really scary. I thought the palace would be the safest paradise in the world, but I didn't expect those Japanese people to be so bold. But fortunately for you, now, there is actually nothing to worry about."
"I'm sorry...I failed to protect you..."
"Okay, why...why are you saying sorry?" Qin Zheng was a little surprised, but also very satisfied, and lowered his head a little shyly.
"You are in a very dangerous situation now, and I can't do anything for you."
"If you are really willing to do something for me..."
Qin Zheng was half-ashamed before she could finish her words, but Xia Shang's hands wrapped around her shoulders along her waist. Under a thin layer of red gauze, a big hand wriggled gently on the woman's back,
The delicate touch made Qin Zheng's cheeks blush even more. Then the other hand gently hooked the belt around her waist, and Qin Zheng couldn't help but exclaimed softly: "Yeah!"
Qin Zheng's hand immediately pressed Xia Shang's hand through her clothes, and then stared at Xia Shang shyly: "What are you doing?"
Xia Shang smiled and came to Qin Zheng's mouth, blew air and said softly: "What else can I do? Of course I will make it up to you."
"At this time...you were not just injured..."
"You have already said that you have arranged everything outside. I don't have to go anywhere. As for my injury, it has healed a lot now. There is no problem in serving you, my queen."
"Oh, don't make trouble, it's not a good time now..."
Qin Zheng struggled for a while, but Xia Shang blew again in his ear.
For a moment, the young girl seemed to be electrocuted all over.
As if, Xia Shang's body stiffened and he was pounced on little by little. Then, the smell in the palace had changed.
A little palace maid walked into the palace carelessly. She was about to call the queen when she suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the palace.
The little palace maid was also alert and immediately realized that something was wrong. Standing outside the screen and seeing the two entangled figures behind the screen, she immediately blushed to the base of her neck, snickered and ran away.
The little palace lady did not go far, but outside the side hall of the queen's palace, she met the imperial doctor who had just come out.
The little palace maid hurriedly stepped forward and asked: "Mr. Liu, how is General Hou's injury?"
The imperial doctor sighed: "General Hou is really a god. With such a serious injury, most people would have died long ago. Unexpectedly, General Hou not only did not die, but his wounds were still healing rapidly. After this, after my treatment, General Hou is already dead."
There is no danger to life."
"That's good."
"Well, I still have to go to the Queen's side to get my orders back."
With that said, the imperial doctor was about to head towards the queen's palace.
The little palace maid hurriedly stopped her and said hurriedly: "Hey, hey, there's no need to return to life. Your Majesty, I just want me to tell you, you can leave on your own after you treat General Hou."
"real?"
"of course it's true!"
The imperial doctor hesitated for a moment: "Then I will take my leave first."
After saying that, the imperial doctor turned around and left the palace.
The little palace maid watched the imperial doctor leave and looked at the scene she just saw with a very gossipy smile on her face.
"Why are you laughing? You are so happy."
Behind him, another maid came out of the side hall and patted the little maid on the shoulder.
The little palace maid was startled, slapping her chest and scolding: "There is a ghost in you every time you startle, you scared me to death!"
"I think you're the one who has something wrong with you. Why would you be so frightened when I slapped you like this? Tell me, what bad thing did you do?"
The little palace maid carefully looked around, pulled the other person under the eaves of the side hall, and whispered: "Shh, I really saw something terrible. If this thing gets spread, all of us will lose our heads."
"It's mysterious, what happened when you fell to the ground?"
"Before, everyone speculated that the Queen and General Hou... now look at it, the one in the back room is the Queen's true love."
