There was nothing strange in the palace at night, there was no movement at all. There was no arrival of Feng Xi, and everything was as calm as before. Di Xin and I sat in the palace waiting for Feng Xi's arrival, but we didn't see Feng Xi until midnight.
I don’t know what time it was, but Di Xin and I snuggled together and fell asleep.
It was the next day again, and the sky was still bright. The two eunuchs who called Emperor Xin to go to the morning court came again, and again softly called Emperor Xin to go to the morning court. Emperor Xin also got up sleepily, sitting up straight and stretching, while
muttering,
"This damn Feng Xi was so lonely that she didn't have a good night's sleep. When they caught her, they had to fry her until both sides were golden and throw her into a casserole to make soup."
After I heard Di Xin's voice, I couldn't sleep well and sat up.
"Yes, Your Majesty, now that we know that what Feng Xi is carrying is not Your Majesty's child, it's time for us to punish her."
"My queen, my child, and my concubine's family, I want to get them back together with her. By the way, my concubine, you still have trouble moving, so you'd better lie down quickly!" Di Xintou
He turned to me and said.
"It's okay. I'm not sleeping well anyway, so I'll just accompany the king to freshen up!"
"This morning at court, the lonely king discussed with the ministers the matter of making my Daji his queen."
"I have thanked the king. But it seems that Feng Xi will not come, right? Why not let King Wu Cheng return after guarding for two days? After all, the barbarians on the border have recently attacked and he still needs him to guard the country? There is a protector of the country.
It’s okay to be here.”
"Yeah, I listened to my beloved concubine. I didn't expect Daji to be so sensible and know how to help me plan the court affairs." Di Xin looked at me with a smile and said.
"I am worried about the king and think about what the king thinks! The king is my husband and my heaven. Of course I have to share my worries with the king, and the king is my most important thing. Don't you think so, king?"
Then, we saw Shaman in front of us being pulled away by two eunuchs, then bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, it's time to get up and freshen up. Don't miss the morning meeting."
Di Xin got up, and then his two maids washed him, put on his court clothes, and kissed my forehead.
One of the two eunuchs said,
"Your Majesty and your Majesty are so loving, I am so envious of you, old slave."
Di Xin looked at the eunuch and said,
"If you talk too much, give me a slap."
"Oh! Isn't this old slave happy in his heart?"
"Forget it, your Majesty, hurry up and go to the morning court!" I said quickly.
"Beloved, please don't run around this time. Not every time you are in trouble, the lonely king can rush to you in a hurry."
"It's hard for me to walk? How can I run around?"
"Then the lonely king has gone to court early."
After saying this, Di Xin strode out of the palace, followed by the two eunuchs.
In this way, I just stayed in Di Xin's palace, waiting for him to come to court. After all, I had difficulty walking, so I didn't mess around.
When it was almost noon, I got up. I ordered Yuli to put on beautiful clothes for me, and then I dressed up. But I still didn’t see Di Xin come back. In the past, Di Xin had already returned to the palace by this time.
Ah! I wonder if something happened today. I was not in the mood to eat lunch, so I just asked Yuli to make some pastries, and then sat in the main hall stupidly waiting for Di Xin to come back.
Not long after, Di Xin's chariot arrived at the entrance of the palace. I quickly put down the cakes in my hand and prepared to run out happily. I hugged him and asked him why he came back so late. I actually forgot that I couldn't move my legs freely.
Walking, my feet were like weighted shot balls, and I fell heavily and fell to the ground. It happened that Di Xin had just walked in the door, and he dared to run over to help me. Then he looked at the two maids beside me, and then
He looked at Yuli again and shouted sternly,
"Don't you want to live anymore?"
"Your Majesty, this has nothing to do with them! It's because I miss you so much. Seeing you coming over, I was so happy that I forgot that I can't walk freely now."
Di Xin helped me stand up, and I sat on the chair. At this time, I saw a person following Di Xin. I was very familiar with this person's face. It was Ao Shun's face. But this face
It has already passed its thirties, and it looks like it should be more than forty years old. It still carries some vicissitudes of life.
The man looked at me and bowed and said,
"Bigan pays his respects to the empress."
Did I hear that right? Ao Shun actually became the most loyal minister of the Great Shang Dynasty. This is so funny!
"Daji, why are you so stunned? Why don't you ask Uncle Wang to sit down?" Di Xin asked, patting me.
"Oh! I'm so rude, Uncle Wang, please sit down quickly."
"Thank you, empress!" Bigan said with a bow. After saying that, he held his sleeves and sat aside.
I looked him up and down, and then said,
"Uncle Wang, please don't be offended. This face of Uncle Wang is very much like an old friend of mine. It makes people feel very friendly, and it made me confused for a moment."
"Oh? Is it really that similar?" Bigan asked.
"Yes! It's not like that, it's just the same person." I replied.
"It is an honor for me to be my old friend."
"By the way, Uncle Wang, you rushed to look for Gu again today. What do you mean?" Di Xin looked at Bigan and asked.
"Oh! It's the matter of the Star-Zhaing Tower that Wei Chen mentioned to you last time. I see that the Star-Zhaing Tower is still being built and has no intention of stopping! There is also the matter of the king's appointment in the morning, the establishment of a new queen.
The old minister has no objection to the king establishing a queen. However, Empress Jiang has died less than three years ago and has not passed her filial piety period. I am afraid it is particularly inappropriate to establish a queen at this time. Your Majesty." Bigan also looked at Di Xin and said with his hands bowed.
"Oops! Uncle Wang, why are you so verbose? The late emperor told me in his dream that this Star-Zhaing Tower can guarantee the prosperity of the country. The queen has been dead for so long, and the lonely king also feels sorry for her, but this harem
You can't have someone in charge! Uncle Wang, why don't you just spend two days of leisure, playing the piano, planting flowers and other things? Why do you care about so many things? "
"You, aren't you afraid of being infamy for all eternity? If I don't care, what face will you have for me to see the emperor of the Yin and Shang dynasties in the future after death? How can I have the face to meet my brother Di Yi?" Bi
His face turned red with anger, and it took him a long time to hold back these words. He looked at Di Xin tremblingly and replied.
"It's all my fault. I would have listened to Uncle Wang and thought about it carefully. Isn't this enough? Uncle Wang should stop irritating his nephew and make him angry." Di Xin replied.
"Well, I won't disturb the king and the empress anymore. I hope the king will think carefully about what I said and make a decision quickly. I will leave first." Bigan stood up and bowed to Di Xin and said.
"I have written it down." Di Xin replied.
Bigan dragged his steps slowly and prepared to leave Di Xin's palace. It seemed that Di Xin was very angry!
I shouted quickly,
"Prime Minister Bigan, please wait!"
Bigan turned to look at me again,
"What are your orders, Madam?"
"Come here!" I shouted.
Yuli walked in,
"Yuli, hurry and prepare the chariot to take the Prime Minister out of the palace."
Yuli turned around and trotted out of the palace. After a while, the chariot I usually sat in arrived.
Bigan looked at me,
"How can this happen? How can I sit on the queen's chariot?"
"Prime Minister, it would be better if you don't dislike me." I replied.
"Yuli, hurry up and help the prime minister get into the chariot!" I looked at Yuli and said again.
Bigan bowed and said,
"My lord, thank you, empress!"
I looked at Bigan and smiled slightly, and Yuli helped Bigan get on my chariot.
After Bigan left, I thought to myself that Bigan died because I cut out his heart in the end! Even if I were an ordinary person, I would not cut out his heart and give it to myself. What about Ao Shun? I don’t know that I can.
Will it change the ending of Bigan dying after I cut out his heart?
"Daji, Daji is not as good as...,?" Di Xin looked at me and said, but he only said half of his words.
"It's better to talk about building the Star-Zhaing Tower slowly, and there's no rush to establish the rear." I replied following Di Xin's words.
"My beloved concubine really understands justice."
"But Your Majesty, there is one thing that cannot be delayed, and that is Feng Xi's matter. Your Majesty needs to post a notice immediately to apprehend Feng Xi. Otherwise, we will have trouble sleeping and eating every day, and will be frightened, right?"
"My beloved concubine is absolutely right."
"Come here!" Di Xin shouted.
Two soldiers walked in, bowed and said,
"What is your order, Your Majesty?"
"Go ahead and put up notices all over the city in Chaoge. No, there are notices in the palace as well. In short, they will be posted all over Chaoge. Attached is Feng Xi's portrait. As long as she can be captured, regardless of life or death, she will be rewarded with thousands of grain fields."
A hundred boxes of jewels and shells." Di Xin said.
"It's the king."
After the two soldiers left, Di Xin looked at me,
"My beloved, now we have nothing to worry about."
I looked at Di Xin, nodded slightly and said,
"Um!"
I don’t know if this is right or wrong. If the Star-Zhaing Tower is built, Bigan’s death will not be far away. I really can’t bear to see Ao Shun from three thousand years ago, when Bigan’s heart was gouged out.
Death. And whether I want to be a queen or not is not that important to me. In fact, I don’t care much about the position of the queen. Even without these two things, the decline of Great Shang is inevitable.
A few days passed like this, and even though the announcement was posted, there was still no whereabouts of Feng Xi. It was as if Feng Xi had evaporated from the world, with no trace left.
Early in the morning, God Xin went to the morning court, Tu Tu Gong and Ji Kao came to see me. I was sitting alone in the main hall eating melon seeds. Seeing Tu Tu Gong and Ji Kao coming over, I looked at them happily.
"I haven't seen you for a few days, why are you willing to come and look for me?"
The landowner smiled and said,
"I and Ji Kao have been busy these days! They are both looking for good remedies for you so that you can walk."
"Yes, what Ji'er Tuguigong said is true. We also went to Qianyuan Mountain to find Taiyi Zhenren!" Ji Kao said quickly.
"Oh? Can you heal me now?" I looked at them and asked happily.
"Hey! Taiyi Zhenren can't make you recover as before! But I will continue to look for ways to help my son recover. My son, don't be too sad." Tu Tu shook his head and sighed.
Although I feel a little sad, I can't show it in front of them! After all, they have done enough for me.
I smiled and looked at Tu Tu and Ji Kao,
"Look at me, I have food and drink all day long, and I can even ride on a chariot when I go out. I'm not sad!"
"That's good, that's good! I'm still worried that Ji'er will get emotional! By the way, there's one more thing that can make Ji'er a little happier. On the way to Qianyuan Mountain, Ji Kao and I passed by an unknown
When we were at the mountain col, I detected Feng Xi's aura. It was on the border of Chaoge, and I guess that Fengxi hasn't left Chaoge yet," Tu Tu Gong said.
"This is really good news. Tomorrow, you, the land lord, will lead the way and order Huang Feihu to lead troops to encircle and suppress that mountain col." I said.
"I accept my order," the Earthly Lord replied with a smile.
