Chitose words

Chapter 414 Trust
When Concubine Wan Shu entered the inner hall of Zhaohua Hall with the perfectly cooked ginseng soup, Xie Zhao was opening the window and quietly looking at the snow on the treetops in the courtyard outside the window.

Seeing this, Wan Luoer subconsciously exclaimed in surprise.

She took three steps at a time, stepped forward, and carefully placed the priceless ginseng soup on the coffee table. Then she approached the window and tentatively stretched out her hand to half-cover the window.

"Your Highness, it's almost sunset. It's the time when the warmth turns cold. The wind is the worst when you come late. Don't get cold."

Xie Zhao was at ease and slightly lost in thought.

When she saw that the window in front of her was closed, she didn't say much.

Since she entered the Mahayana realm at the age of nine, she is no longer afraid of the alternation of cold and heat.

Unexpectedly, now at the age of twenty, he has no internal energy and is weak. His body bones are not even as strong as Wan Luoer, who has never practiced martial arts.

From a person who has always taken care of others to a person who requires others to take care of him at all times, this contrast is quite hard to get used to.

Xie Zhao chuckled lightly, like the most obedient patient.

"I'm fine, I just got up and looked at the snow outside the window."

She sighed softly: "Speaking of which, the Southern Dynasties have seen a bit more rain and snow in the past few years. The auspicious snow heralds a good year, so this year's crop harvest must be good."

Concubine Wan Shu held her right arm with a smile and said crisply:
"With a thousand years of age taking care of our Southern Dynasty territory, the fertile soil of Tianchen will naturally have smooth winds and rivers, and the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe."

Wan Luoer's words came from the sincerity and from the bottom of his heart, and there was absolutely no intention to flatter others.

However, she saw His Highness Chitose shake his head slightly, and for a moment she didn't know what His Highness meant.

Xie Zhao was helped back to the coffee table by Wan Luo Erxu. She looked at the steaming ginseng tea on the coffee table expressionlessly. Knowing that it was brought to her by Emperor Jing's personal instructions, she suddenly asked:
"What is Fu Jingyan doing?"

Even if she is the emperor's sister, it is obviously very inappropriate to address the emperor by her first and last name.

But Concubine Wan Shu, as the emperor's favorite concubine, didn't seem to find anything offensive in Xie Zhao's words.

She carefully divided the pot of ginseng tea into small white jade cups, respectfully handed the small cup to Xie Zhao's hand, and then answered:
"Your Majesty was in Jiuchen Hall this morning, perhaps to meet with courtiers or handle government affairs?

Luo'er had not seen His Majesty in the afternoon, but I guess today is the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, and tomorrow is the birthdays of His Majesty and His Highness.

Your Majesty attaches great importance to this Qianqiu Banquet, and he should be calling the stewards of the inner court to prepare for the banquet. "

Having said this, Concubine Wan Shu took a careful look at Xie Zhao's face, trying to bridge the gap that had long been as deep as a chasm between her siblings.

"I heard that His Majesty is planning to do something special this time on the fifth day of the first lunar month, presumably to find a thousand years old, and I am extremely happy.

In the past two years, His Majesty has often suffered from nightmares at night, and has developed new symptoms of migraine and heart palpitations. Perhaps he has really realized his mistake."

The more Wan Luoer said this, the more guilty he felt, and the weaker his voice became.

The emperor certainly had a hint of remorse, but so what?
Could it be that just because he regretted, felt pain, and felt sad, the pain and near-death that had previously been attached to Chitose no longer existed?

Xie Zhao smiled lightly when he heard this.

Being able to find her, the emperor was naturally extremely happy.

After all, Emperor Jing's great cause of controlling the "Luoshu Mantra" and unifying the four realms would be like a broken arm without her internal strength cultivation that reaches the heaven and earth.

As for the emperor and her birthday celebrations tomorrow, the fifth day of the first lunar month, he will definitely take this opportunity to tell the world the "fact" that she has "voluntarily" left the Shentai Palace.

Xie Zhao didn't want Wan Luoer to be in trouble, so he didn't want to say anything more.

Wan Luo'er was Fu Jingyan's personal maid when she was young, and now she is Emperor Jing's favorite concubine Shu Fei, so why should she embarrass her.

Therefore, she just asked calmly: "Besides the courtiers, who else will he invite to tomorrow's Qianqiu Banquet?"

Concubine Wan Shu thought for a moment and replied:
"I heard that there are still royal clan members. However, the clans whose fiefdoms are too remote have no time to notify.

I heard that all the royal relatives in Zhaoge City, as well as the royal relatives and clans in the six surrounding counties of Zhaoge, have received His Majesty's decree and can come to Beijing to pay tribute this time. "

The Tianchen royal family was relatively tolerant towards the royal family, but there was an ironclad rule that the family members were not allowed to leave the fiefdom without an edict, let alone enter the capital.

This time the emperor actually issued a decree, allowing the emperor's relatives from the six counties around Zhaoge City to enter Zhaoge during the first month. This is indeed a rare and special event for the emperor's birthday banquet.

Xie Zhao shook his head and laughed, knowing that he couldn't wait to make her departure from Shentai Palace a fait accompli in front of the civil and military officials of the court and the royal family and nobles.

However, Jing Yan was still too whimsical.

The successive goddesses were women with extremely special fates found by the high priest of the Shentai Palace through divination and divination using the stars as a guide.

The goddess has a revered status in the Shentai Palace, equivalent to the high priest.

In the past thousand years, Tianchen in the Southern Dynasty had only produced three goddesses.

If you want the goddess to take off her divine robe and enter the mortal world, there is only one possibility, that is, the goddess herself is voluntary——

This is just like the first two goddesses who voluntarily took off their divine robes and entered the world of mortals, and married into the Fu family of the Southern Dynasty royal family.

Not even the high priest of the Shentai Palace can depose the goddess, let alone the emperor in the earthly world.

Fu Jingyan had a lot of ideas, but as long as she didn't nod, his "ideas" could only stop at thinking.

So to be honest, Xie Zhao was also a little confused.

As the emperor of the Southern Dynasty, Fu Jingyan knew the taboos about goddesses.

Since he held the Qianqiu Banquet with great fanfare, he would not fight an unprepared battle.

So what kind of trump card does Emperor Jing hold to ensure that she, a disobedient goddess, will cooperate with him in performing the drama he planned at the Qianqiu Banquet, instead of flipping the table in front of the court and letting him work hard? What about all that goes down the drain?

Fu Jingyan had a determined look on his face before, so he must have some tricks up his sleeve.

However, he was very vigilant and did not say a word. It seemed that he was afraid that she would be prepared and ruin his plan.

Xie Zhao chuckled.

She was a little curious.

What kind of trump card could make Fu Jingyan confident that he could use it to force her to bow her head and surrender.

Seeing her silence, Wan Luoer urged carefully:

"Your Highness, this wild ginseng is very rare. It strengthens the body and replenishes energy. Please take some of it."

Xie Zhao smiled and said with a smile:

"Luo'er, I'm going to tell you the truth. I'm not getting enough of it now. Drinking this ginseng tea won't do any good. Instead, it will add to Luo Luan's burden."

She thought for a while, then smiled and said softly:
"What's more, the water Jing Yan offered is really disturbing."

Concubine Wan Shu thought of the cup of tea dripping with the strange poison "Sad Flower Suffering Moon" that Yuan Ai personally presented two years ago, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Your Highness, she no longer believes in His Majesty.

Thank you Baozi for bringing me the monthly ticket that won’t cry~
