Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1762 Conflict
Emperor Ying was a hardworking emperor. Many court meetings were held in Efang Palace in a year, but these court meetings were also divided into levels. Among them, the court meetings held at the beginning of each season in spring, summer, autumn and winter were relatively large in scale, and they could be called grand court meetings.
But among the many court meetings, only the annual New Year's court meeting held in the first lunar month is the most grand.

Every year in the twelfth lunar month, princes and kings from all over the world will bring their families to Beijing to congratulate Emperor Ying for the New Year. Emperor Ying will summon these princes and kings in the Ganquan Hall of Afang Palace and announce some major events of the year.

The rumored dispute and engagement between Da Si Ming and Shan Gui happened in September, three months later, the Da Qin Empire ushered in the new year.

But for the subjects of Daqin, this new year is destined to be not very good.

Because the emperor is sick.

After her master and Shan Gui got engaged, Ying Baoyue returned to the border. Around mid-October, she received a letter from the palace saying that a round of fierce quarrel broke out between her master and the emperor in the palace. The emperor was furious, and her master refused to budge, causing everyone in Efang Palace to be in danger.

The fuse of the matter was that Emperor Ying fell ill in early October and started taking pills despite her master's dissuasion.

Ying Baoyue was very worried at the time, and wanted to go back to the palace, but during that time, Xirong was like a chicken blood, harassing the border endlessly.She could only write a letter to her master first, asking if she would like to go back and see a doctor for Emperor Ying.

But her master wrote back and told her not to go back, and not long after, the news came that His Majesty had gotten up normally and started to go to court again. Ying Baoyue breathed a sigh of relief and continued to concentrate on military affairs without asking about this matter again.

Three months later, the new year is coming, she finished her military affairs and returned to Efang Palace to celebrate the new year.

But when she met Emperor Ying, she found that things were not as simple as she thought.

Emperor Ying's face was sickly, and he still looked sick.

Her master stood beside Emperor Ying, and his face was not good-looking.

The Great Court Meeting was presided over by the emperor and the national teacher together, but the two of them didn't say anything during the whole process.

When it came time to toast, because Emperor Ying was in poor health, her master asked the palace servants to replace the wine in the wine bottle in Emperor Ying's hand with buttermilk, but Emperor Ying snatched the wine bottle and looked at the imperial teacher gloomily , Drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

The voices of people in the whole hall suddenly disappeared, only the sound of silk and bamboo can be heard.

Disharmony between the emperor and the national teacher is a big problem, not to mention that the relationship between Emperor Ying and her master has always been a rare harmony between the national teacher and the emperor, and the two have hardly had any quarrels on the surface.

But at this time, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is a problem between the national teacher and the emperor.

There was no sound in the hall, but at this moment, the king of Nanchu stepped forward to toast at the right time, breaking the awkward atmosphere.

The seating order of the New Year's Grand Court Meeting is that the princes and kings are in front, and the courtiers are in the back.Among the courtiers, the civil servants are in front and the generals are in the back.

So although her military rank was not low at that time, she was standing at the back, and the order of toasting was also behind.

But just after Emperor Ying had finished drinking Nanchu Wangjing's wine, he suddenly looked at her who was standing behind the crowd.

Ying Baoyue's heart skipped a beat.

The position of the emperor's throne is very high, and it can be seen from top to bottom, but if you don't look for it deliberately, it is impossible to see her at a glance.

Most of the people here are practitioners, and they all noticed Emperor Ying's gaze.

"You're back?"

Emperor Ying's eyes were like eagles, looking down at her from above.

The emperor had already spoken, so she naturally couldn't pretend to be dead anymore, so she walked out of the crowd and bowed, "Your Majesty, are you looking for a minister?"

Emperor Ying didn't speak, just stared at her, the man raised his head and drank the third glass of wine in his hand, "I haven't seen you in three months, you seem to have lost some weight?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern, but the ministers have not been reduced."

"Really?" Emperor Ying watched her quietly, "Do you still remember what the widow told you three months ago?"

She moved her hands holding her fists, and said calmly, "My minister is dull, I don't remember."

There was a slight uproar all around.

All the people here are human beings, although it is impossible to know what Emperor Ying said to her, but they can all hear that she is avoiding the emperor's questioning.

"Don't remember?" Emperor Ying looked at her and narrowed his eyes.

He doesn't actually look old.Practitioners reaching a certain level can delay the aging of the body. Although the gap in talent did not make Emperor Ying look like Ji Mo at the age of 30, he only looked like 20, but at that time Emperor Ying always maintained his middle-aged appearance. Even if he is over half a hundred years old, there are only a few wrinkles on the back of his hands, and he is not old.

But at this moment, Ying Baoyue suddenly discovered that Emperor Ying's eyes were different from before.

His eyes became more like an old man's.

The emperor sitting on the throne stopped looking at her, and looked at the national teacher beside him, "Is Baoyue seventeen this year? It's time to get married."

"Baoyue is my only apprentice, and her husband and minister are still watching each other."

Her master replied.

This statement has been used for several years, and it is no different from usual.

But Emperor Ying took another sip of wine, and said calmly, "There is no need to choose, there is a good marriage waiting for her here."

There was a commotion among the courtiers and princes in the hall, they all thought that the emperor was going to give her a marriage.

But Ying Baoyue suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.

She remembered what the emperor said to her at night three months ago.

She didn't tell Master about that.

Above the main hall, her master's face turned pale, but he still suppressed his emotions and asked, "Which son is the marriage His Majesty mentioned?"

"Hmph, which son would dare to marry her?"

Emperor Ying drank the wine in his glass and looked at her.

"Embracing the moon, marry the widow."

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop, and even the court musicians who played the music stopped.

At that moment, Ying Baoyue suspected that she might be the calmest person in the palace.

She was not worried about Emperor Ying going crazy, but worried about her master's reaction.

"Your Majesty..."

Before she could raise her head to see Master's face clearly, a strong force suddenly pushed her out of the hall.

"Enchantment?"

She stood in surprise at the gate of the hall, but the gate of Ganquan Hall in front of her was slammed shut.

The soldiers outside the hall were terrified. The chief of the Jinwu Guard rushed up the steps in three steps and two steps. Looking at her standing outside the hall, he asked in amazement, "His Royal Highness, what happened?"

"Escort!"

Before she had time to answer, the soldiers had already rushed towards the closed palace door, but the next moment, the wailing of the soldiers sounded around her one after another.
Ganquan Hall was like an invisible barrier, and all the soldiers outside the hall could not take a step closer. Those who rushed forward were all bounced off, falling and bouncing on the steps like fish after tail.

All the ministers except her were locked in the hall together with the princes and kings. It was very quiet inside, but at this time it also started to be noisy.

"Senior Commander, what are you doing!"

"Bastard, Lin Shubai, are you planning to rebel?"

There were countless people knocking on the door and wanting to go out, but the Ganquan Temple was like a huge can, wrapped in an enchantment, people outside could not get in, and people inside couldn't get in.

"This……"

The head of the Jinwu Guard was stunned, and he drew out his sword to cut the barrier in front of him, but with a click, his sword was blocked by another sharp sword.

Ying Baoyue stood in front of the palace gate holding his sword, closed his eyes, and said.

"Don't bother, it's useless."

Even the heavenly ranks cannot break through this barrier.

To this day, Ying Baoyue still remembers the shock she felt when she stood outside the Temple of Ganquan.

Because that was the place where she first saw her master inside the Great Wall of Eternal Night...

Use the power of man and god.

　This plot can be viewed in conjunction with Chapter [-] of the first volume, the marriage proposal. I wrote about it at the time
