Empress work daily

Chapter 13 Fall
The Winter Clothes Festival is approaching, and the full moon in the sky is somewhat bleak and deserted.

Wanfu Palace is brightly lit, and the bright light hits people, but like the moonlight in the sky, it is not warm but cold, making people feel infinitely chilly.

Looking at the two clowns cowering in the corner, Ji Qiang wanted to end all this as soon as possible.

With the same thought, there was Ji Hua who drew his sword and walked towards Liu Shengshi.

This princess, who has always been high-spirited, has a bit of vicissitudes of footsteps at this moment, her back looks slightly decadent, and her sword hand is extremely tense.

History is always strikingly similar and ironic.

When Ji Wei approached Liu Shengshi step by step with her sword, what flashed in her mind was not how she fell into the trough now, how she would turn around in the future, and how she should clean up the mess for her daughter... At this moment, scenes appeared in front of her. Yes, it's all pictures of Taizong holding a sharp sword like her back then, walking towards her lover step by step... No, it should be said that her appearance is the same as that of his mother back then.

But very different.

No matter how poor Fu Ziyu was born back then, no matter how low his status was, when he met her, he was innocent. How could he be like this despicable and shameless villain in front of him, who ignored the love of the late emperor, disregarded human relations, and did such a thing that both humans and gods indignant!
When the cowering Liu Shengshi realized that Princess Wei was going to put him to death, he immediately rushed to Ji Yu, calling "Princess Princess, help me" over and over again.

The dark red blood pattered along the silver blade, landed on the ground, and quickly gathered into a large piece of shocking spots. Ji Yu almost passed out, and under several complex emotions, he suddenly lost his voice.

Ji Hua had never felt so weak, as if all her strength had been drained, before she even had time to look at her daughter, she suddenly fell limply to the ground, crying uncontrollably.

It took a long time for everyone to hear her saying something like "Sister, Meier is sorry for you".

Seeing that she missed the late emperor, Ji Qiang didn't bother her, and just stood aside and watched the play quietly.

After learning from the pain for a while, Ji Wei got up, pulled out the long whip around her waist, and walked towards Ji Yu step by step, with the same look and actions as before.

The only difference is that the long whip replaced the long sword.

When the first whip fell hard, the dumbfounded Ji Yu immediately screamed piercingly, running around with his head in his arms, just like a lunatic.

After ten lashes, Ji Yu's skin was ripped apart.

After another ten whips, Ji Yu was dying.

Ji Qiang didn't call to stop, nor did he come forward to beg for favors or anything. Ji Wei couldn't let go, and slowly turned to the place where Ji Qiang was standing, knelt heavily, and bowed down.

"Ji Yu disregards human relations and caused chaos in the palace. He deserves to die! Ji Wei taught her daughter inappropriately, which caused disasters. He deserves to die! Please also consider the sake of the same clan and blood relationship, and forgive Ji Yu. Order. The minister is willing to disarm and go to the imperial mausoleum to protect the ancestors."

"If I remember correctly, this is the second time my aunt has begged for mercy from me for my daughter."

Ji Qiang said this very calmly, without any sarcasm.

Although Ji Hua's body trembled, she remained in her original state.

"My aunt and cousin should move out of the Longevity Palace and return to the Princess Mansion for a long time. It is said to the outside world that we will choose a husband for my cousin."

Ji Qiang didn't mind being with the mother and daughter for the last time to maintain their family relationship. She understood that there were very few so-called family ties in Ji Hua's sign of family ties.

The current situation is just an expedient measure after the confrontation between the two sides. It is related to the dignity of the late emperor. This matter is destined to be buried under this moon sky.

Therefore, Ji Qiang didn't see much sincerity from Ji Hua's "thousands of thanks", but instead sensed an uncontrollable hatred the moment she raised her head.

Now, how Ji Qiang did such a game, and what kind of "fools" Ji Yu and Liu Shengshi did in the chess game, Ji Wei has already clearly understood, and the doubts of the early court have also been easily resolved. Regarding Ji Qiang's deep scheming, In addition to being amazed, Ji Hua also had deep fear and doubts.

Will such a person become a wise king?
It was the first time Ji Hua had such vacillating thoughts.

……

The dust settled down for the time being, and the "old disease" that had been in his heart for two lifetimes dissipated for the time being, Ji Qiang walked aimlessly, and unknowingly entered the imperial garden.

Accompanied by a full moon in the sky, a group of supporters followed silently behind him. Ji Qiang raised his head to look at the bright moon, then looked behind him, before looking around.

Although she is a human being in two lifetimes, she does not come to this place often.

Therefore, the imperial garden in my memory has already looked like a long, long time ago.

Based on her current location, the center of the imperial garden, the Octagonal Pavilion named Shuimu Ziqing is the center, and to the east are Tinglan Waterside Pavilion and Luoxiaju, two quiet and leisurely courtyards.

Tinglan Waterside Pavilion is surrounded by active springs. In autumn and winter, a thin layer of white mist often forms on the surface of the water. Being in it, people will mistakenly think that they are in Penglai Wonderland.Luoxiaju is her father, King Xia's long-term residence after moving away from Guanju Palace, surrounded by dense peach forests, all of which were planted by King Xia himself.

From the Qing Dynasty to the west, Shuimu has been the cool place for the entire imperial palace. With the two pavilions of Peony Pavilion and Yixin Xiaozhu as the center, it almost covers the viewing water system of the entire imperial city.

To the north is the masterpiece of Song Gantang, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, and the Huayintai, which was repeatedly criticized by Tang Chongjian, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households. It is connected to Nishang Hall, a palace feather that was also criticized by Tang Chongjian.

To the south is a tall tower called the Moon-Worship Tower. Further south of the Moon-Worship Tower is the residence of the main palace husband, the Guanju Palace, and the East and West Six Palaces that spread out from left to right with Guanju Palace as the center.

It was late at night, but the garden was not dark, and there were stars everywhere.There are lanterns on the trees, stone lanterns in the grass, and even white or pink lotus lanterns swaying on the water.

After wandering around, Ji Qiang found a stone bench to sit down and rest his feet.

"Brother, what do you think of what happened tonight?"

Her sudden opening really startled Chu Lingxiao who had followed all the way.

What happened tonight, he went through five minutes, guessed seven minutes, and thought all the way, and he has fully understood it.

His Majesty played a big game of chess, and even he himself was one of the chess pieces.

"May I ask Your Majesty, how do you plan to set up the Qilin Guard?"

Ji Qiang said with a smile: "Naturally, elder brother is the head of the unicorn guard. There are no more than twelve members, but each of them must possess unique skills. As for their names and where they came from, it is natural that elder brother should worry about it."

"Your Majesty, you want to... Your Majesty... But..."

Chu Lingxiao was incoherent in shock, just thinking that he was just a pawn in the whole matter, but now the pawn has been replaced by "At that moment, he just became a very important pawn in His Majesty's hands", And it is absolutely true that His Majesty intends to establish personal guards.

This is really a game within a game, interlocking.

Mother is right, His Majesty's mind is beyond human reach.

Today, she is only 14 years old.

Ji Qiang looked dignified, and slowly got up, because of the terrain, he was able to look at Chu Lingxiao at the same level.

"There are only three members of the Ji clan up to our generation. If Ji Yu is a waste, if my elder brother refuses to be my right-hand man, then I will really be alone."

The words almost made Chu Lingxiao's eyes blush. His chest heaved violently, and he boldly looked at Ji Qiang. The girl in front of him who called herself "Zhen", his only sister in the world, truly regarded him as his support.

Today, they met for the first time.

At that moment, the heat surged all over his body, as if the blood was about to burst out at any time, which made Chu Lingxiao deeply feel the meaning of blood connection.

Ji Qiang was also excited, but she was forbearing enough and still looked calm and peaceful.

"Chief of the Kirin Guard, Chu Lingxiao, thanked His Majesty for his kindness, and I would like to stand on His Majesty's saddle horse, and we will advance and retreat together!" He swore.

"I don't want my elder brother to be a pommel horse, and my elder brother to be a famous official and mighty general, and share the country with me!" she promised.

The two brothers and sisters looked at each other for a long time until a chill came over. Ji Qiang looked at the sky and found that it was too late, so he ordered Shang Liujia and others to lead Chu Lingxiao to rest, while she walked towards the Moon Tower alone. One person follows.

Although the moon is cold, it is round, just like her state of mind at this time.

I heard that watching the moon in the Moon Prayer Tower is a different scene.

The two monarchs and ministers came to the downstairs of worshiping the moon not long ago, but before they climbed the building, a white shadow suddenly appeared.
