Phoenix Fight: The First Concubine

Chapter 120
Su De responded: "This old slave understands that he must do a good job in this matter, but the palace doesn't know what the impact will be if this person disappears."

Xiao Mingrui's eyes brightened, and he brushed off the dust that didn't exist on his body: "It's just a court lady, what's so strange about being poisoned to death?"

The weather in March in Yangchun is already full of spring, and people in the streets and alleys have all put on bright and bright spring clothes, no longer wearing the stupid winter clothes.

At this moment, the city is full of flowers, and the girls and daughters-in-law on the street are also wearing peach red and willow green jackets, wearing flowers in their hair, and three or five go shopping together to buy rouge and gouache.

In the deep alley, there are flower sellers yelling and selling apricot blossoms, peach blossoms, begonias and rhododendrons. The fresh and delicate flowers really make people happy.

In a quiet alley in the east of the city, most of the people living here are ordinary people from the capital city. In this place close to the outer city, the people who come and go are small businessmen or citizens, and there are very few big figures.

At this moment, an unremarkable black-painted carriage slowly drove up the alley, and the carriage slowly stopped at the door of the fifth house in the alley.

The coachman jumped down from the carriage and knocked the knocker on the door.

Not long after, an old man emerged from inside. He looked at the man. He was short in stature, and his small eyes shrank a little. There was a nervous light in his pupils, and he said, "Come on, come in quickly."

The coachman came in with his car. The house wasn't too big, but it was about the size of five people. As the car stopped, two people got out of the carriage.

One of them was wearing a bamboo hat, which kept people from seeing his face clearly, but just judging from his figure, he could be regarded as a man.

The other person is a girl wearing a new clean cotton single pink jacquard jacket dress, her figure seems to be much thinner, and her delicate and tender face has also become much haggard during these days.

"Hey, it's really Miss Mingyan. We've seen you, and we're all so worried!"

The old man stepped forward and shouted.

On the other side came a pair of young couples, both of whom were ordinary people. Although they were dressed in gold and silver, they still couldn't avoid those slick eyes and the occasional timid eyes of men wearing bamboo hats.

"Isn't it?" Another old woman came over with concern, wiping her tears: "Girl, you can be regarded as coming out, the old woman treats you like a girl, and I heard that something happened to you, I almost cried blind .”

He said enthusiastically: "You still have the place where you live, don't worry, you go back and continue to live, it's the same as before."

Xie Mingyan's heart, which was originally very cold because of suffering enough in the cold palace, suddenly felt warm at this moment.

There are still good people in this world!

She looked up at the sun above her head and felt alive again.

No matter what, as long as you come out, you have a chance.

She looked at this family and thought, don't worry, when I become rich in the future, I will definitely not let you suffer!
She decided that as long as Xiao Mingrui still needed her, she would be able to sneak into his harem and become a concubine in the future.

Although this blow made her realize that she had seriously underestimated the imperial power before, it also made her yearn for prosperity and wealth even more.

Be sure to look good to those who look down on themselves!

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xie Mingyan wanted to go back to his room first.

The man in the bamboo hat standing aside just nodded, and said: "For a while, you don't want to go anywhere, wait until the wind blows. I'm going back to report. If you need anything, just tell the coachman Lao Zhang." .”

Xie Mingyan also knew that now was not the time to go out, so he said very gratefully: "Please trouble this elder brother to go back and thank the second master, just say that Xie Mingyan is very grateful to him for his kindness, and he will definitely repay him with all he has in this life." .”

The man in the bamboo hat gave an expressionless hum, and left without saying anything.

Xie Mingyan was bored, shook his head and went back to the room.

This is a place that she recognized in the palace as a eunuch as her younger brother, and then arranged for him to buy property for his family.

These people are also the family members of the little eunuch Li.

Living here appears to be the Li family's place, but it is actually her Xie Mingyan's house.

Here, as usual, Xie Mingyan was very happy.

"Your family are all good people, and good people are rewarded with rewards." Xie Mingyan said happily to the family.

Moreover, she hid some things here, the most precious and important things.

After returning to the room, she found that there was indeed no change here, so she looked around first, and then began to look for it.

After a long while, she got under the bed and found the items she had hidden in the interlayer of the bed board.

This is still her cosmetic box, which contains some items she brought from modern times, and some of the cosmetics cannot be retrieved this time because they are placed in the palace.

But there's still a part of it left.

The phone is out of battery, and it's useless to ask for it, but the most important book "Zheng Shuo Twelve Emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty" is still intact inside.

This made Xie Mingyan breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as this thing is still there, there is hope for everything.

Opening the book and reading it, she frowned and thought for a while: It seems that my original plan is not going to work.He shouldn't have come out to speak at that time, otherwise, he is still doing well in the palace now, how could he suffer so much?
Xie Mingyan carefully put away his things, ate a meal, chatted with the Li family members, and fell asleep early.

On the second day, there was nothing unusual about her, she just asked someone to fetch the banknotes she had saved, and planned to take the banknotes and leave after a while.

She felt that Luo Wang would not let her have an accident anyway, so it might be arranged in another courtyard of his.

Xie Mingyan is very confident. She feels that as long as she puts in some effort, sooner or later King Luo will fall in love with her.

As for Murong Wei, she simply ignored her.

How could an ancient woman defeat a time-traveling woman?
Xie Mingyan thought that his idea was correct, but he just had to beware of some unforeseen situations.

After three days in a row, finally one day, that mysterious man wearing a hat reappeared.

"The prince asked me to take you away."

Xie Mingyan's eyes lit up: "Really, where am I going this time?"

The man said nothing.

Not getting an answer from the other party made her very embarrassed. "Oh, I asked too much. I don't have anything to pack. Wait for me for a while, and I'll pack up."

The man in the bamboo hat sat down at the table on one side, looked at the incense burning in the smoker cage, and swept it with his big hand.

Soon, the smell of the incense changed.

Xie Mingyan, who was packing her things, suddenly felt a little dizzy, and when she felt something was wrong, she saw the taciturn man appear in front of her, looking at her expressionlessly.

This was the first time that Xie Mingyan saw the appearance of this person clearly.

It was none other than Wu Jing, the leader and guard next to Xiao Mingrui.

Xie Mingyan panicked for a while: "You, what are you going to do?"

Wu Jing glanced at her indifferently: "Take you where you should go."

As he spoke, he waved his hand down with a knife, and Xie Mingyan was directly knocked unconscious.

Wu Jing shook his head, he didn't look at Xie Mingyan's clothes and jewelry at all, but quickly took out her most precious makeup box, which now contained some books and some banknotes.

"My lord, do you see?"

There was a trembling voice outside.

Wu Jing put down his bamboo hat, turned his head and said coldly: "You have done a good job, what is left here will always be yours."

The old man appeared tremblingly at this moment, looking at the things in this room, as well as the jewelry, gold and silver, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

Wu Jing glanced mockingly at Xie Mingyan on the ground.

nice guy?

Oh, then she didn't know that the so-called good family in her mouth had taken all the things she left long ago during the period when she was thrown into limbo.

When Wu Jing appeared, the family wept bitterly, thinking that she had hired someone to take revenge.

Unexpectedly, Wu Jing was also thinking about Xie Mingyan. Under the threat of their lives, the family naturally had no morals, so they quickly agreed to cooperate, and obviously fooled the naive Xie Mingyan into thinking that this was a big deal. The family is the living ** of the legend.

He lowered his head, picked up Xie Mingyan, and went out.

The coachman, Lao Zhang, appeared in his car. At this moment, a man in black got out of the car. Seeing Wu Jing, he asked in a low voice, "This family?"

Wu Jing said coldly: "You can arrange it. Of course, don't attract the attention of the government."

"Subordinates save money."

Soon, Wu Jing took Xie Mingyan away from this quiet alley, and went to a Huangzhuang outside the city of Luowangfu.

On the second day, two masters ushered in here, King Luo and Princess Luo.

Murong Wei didn't have any doubts about Xiao Mingrui's request to come and see how to plant corn and sweet potatoes. She only thought that he was planning to take a short rest for a few days before taking office.

When they arrived at Huangzhuang, the stewards of the Zhuangzi had already come to welcome them. When they saw Xiao Mingrui, they smiled flatteringly and said, "Your lord came just in time, and the Zhuangzi is planning to plant corn. Don't you want to see it? It's just that the villain is afraid of it." That place is dirty, my lord."

Xiao Mingrui waved his hand and said, "It's just right, I'm going to take a look."

Murong Wei wanted to follow along to see, but Xiao Mingrui asked her to prepare, saying that there was a guest coming today.

Murong Wei didn't know who he was going to invite, but after hearing what he said, she didn't ask any more questions, went to the mansion prepared by Huangzhuang, and ordered the kitchen to take the menu prepared by Xiao Luzi and prepare the dishes for the guests.

Su De followed Xiao Mingrui and went all the way to the village. When he arrived at the field, he saw that many farmers had already planted the fields and prepared to plant corn and sweet potatoes.

Xiao Mingrui looked at this golden crop that had proved to be very productive last year, and he was also looking forward to it.

He has already planned to ask the imperial court to promote this crop, at least now it can be promoted in the north.

In the past, although some people planted sweet potatoes and corn in the south, farmers did not understand the planting methods of sweet potatoes and corn, so the yield was very small, and not many people planted them.

Xiao Mingrui just wanted to use the facts to prove that the output of this product is very large. If it can be promoted now, it will not be too late, and it can catch up with the late ripening.

He didn't come here to play around, he asked carefully, he had an idea in his mind, and he was also happy thinking about the future prospects.

"Master, are you tired too? Why don't you take a rest first?"

Sood asked in a timely manner.

"Ok."

Xiao Mingrui now wants to see what Wu Jing brought back to him.

Yesterday Wu Jing did not return to the palace, but stayed in Zhuangzi.

And Xie Mingyan and the things she brought were put away by the people who stayed here, and now they are all locked in the secret room.

This has to be opened by the master Xiao Mingrui himself.

Su De accompanied Xiao Mingrui to the prince's other courtyard in Huangzhuang, and Xiao Mingrui didn't stop until he reached a remote courtyard in Dongkua courtyard.

Wu Jing had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw Xiao Mingrui stepped forward and knelt down on one knee, he said, "It's a blessing to bide your life."

Xiao Mingrui praised: "Are you still worried about my lord's affairs? Let's take a good rest for a few days, and then go back to the palace."

Wu Jing nodded calmly and cupped his fists: "Thank you, my lord. People are inside, please, my lord."

Su De stepped forward and opened the door, went in and looked around.

The decoration in this room is very simple. It looks like a Buddhist hall. After entering the door, there is a Buddha statue in the middle. nothing else.

Su De stepped forward and turned the Buddha statue in a circle, and soon, a passage appeared above the ground.

From here, one can see that there is a staircase below. At this moment, there are several hidden guards standing in the passage, kneeling down to salute Xiao Mingrui.

"right here?"

"Yes, Biao Xia was afraid that she would escape, so he locked her here."

Xiao Mingrui entered this place after Su De made a fire, and when he got to the bottom, it happened to be a dungeon.

There is a closed stone gate next to the dungeon, Wu Jing said in a low voice: "My lord, there are the woman's things inside."

Xiao Mingrui looked at the closed iron gate in the distance of the dungeon: "Is she still alive?"

Wu Jing shook his head and said, "I've been making noise all the time, saying that I want to see the prince, and that..."

Wu Jing wanted to speak but stopped.

Xiao Mingrui thought of all kinds of strange remarks made by that woman, and asked in a deep voice: "What did you say, just speak up."

"She said you'd regret it if you didn't see her."

Xiao Mingrui sneered, regretting, is she going to say things that she knows about the future again?

After a while, he turned to look at Shimen, took out a key with a strange shape, and opened Shimen.

Su De guarded the door and did not go in.

Stepping into the stone gate, the inside is actually very simple, it is just a study with a very ordinary layout.

There were not many books placed on the bookshelf, and Xiao Mingrui saw a black lacquered cloud pattern box placed in the middle at a glance.

He stepped forward and opened the black lacquer box, and inside was a pink cosmetic box with a unique style but very beautiful, with a strange cat pattern printed on it.

Xiao Mingrui looked at it strangely for a while. Of course, he was mainly thinking about what that strange woman valued so much.
Soon, he saw a book wrapped in oiled paper.

There were some strange bottles and cans beside him, Xiao Mingrui glanced at them, but he didn't know what they were.

A cell phone with a strange shape next to it caught his attention, but it was a pity that it was out of battery, Xiao Mingrui only saw the Arabic numerals on it, and he was still at a loss as to what it was.

But when he opened the oiled paper and finally saw the title on the cover of the book, he was shocked.

"Speaking of the Twelve Emperors of the Great Qin Dynasty"...

I don't know how long it took before he finally picked up the book and started flipping through it.

The speed of his browsing skipped from the ancestors at the beginning, and stayed directly on the father's dynasty. The more he looked at him, the more serious his expression became, until he saw a passage at the end, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted in shock: "Impossible!" , it won't be like this!"

Su De outside didn't know what happened inside. As time passed, Xiao Mingrui appeared in front of him again after a long time.

At this time, his expression was frighteningly cold, and his handsome face lost the ease and smile it had just had, but was gloomy.

"What about that woman, take me to see her!"

Su De shuddered, he felt an evil spirit appearing from the prince, which shocked him very much.

I don't know what the prince saw, but he actually had such an expression.

The iron gate at the end of the dungeon finally made a sound.

Xie Mingyan, who was bored inside, suddenly opened his eyes, sat up straight, and looked towards the door.

After a few clicks and a harsh creaking sound, the iron door was opened.

Xie Mingyan squinted her eyes, covered her eyes with her hands, and only after a while did she see the man in front of her clearly.

Xiao Mingrui was dressed in an autumn-colored coiled dragon and cloud-patterned collar, and he was wearing black face boots with a powder foundation, and his black hair was tied with a purple gold Dongpo crown. At this moment, a pair of star eyes on his handsome face were full of evil spirits, and he was looking at him coldly. Xie Mingyan seemed to want to choose someone and devour them.

Xie Mingyan shivered.

She held back her panic and raised her head, "Meet you again, my lord, I don't know why you brought me here? If I'm not wrong, you should have read that book, then you must know that I It's true. I said you..."

"To shut up."

Xiao Mingrui looked at her coldly and disgustedly. At this moment, Xie Mingyan had chains on his feet, so he couldn't go far at all. He walked into the cell that was too clean, and ordered Su De to close the door. .

After everyone was far away, Xiao Mingrui took out the book hidden in his arms, "Is this the book you were counting on? Tell me, who made this up for you? It's not true, right? ?”

He simply did not believe that anyone would have such a thing.

"Your Highness, wake up, can this kind of thing be made up? You can see the printing date on the back of the book, it is already 2020, do you know the Western calendar, the current Western calendar is only 1524, now you understand me Have you said something? I didn’t want to say it at first, but now I have to say it. In fact, I came back from hundreds of years later.”

Xie Mingyan looked up at him proudly, "I advise you to let me go, because I know the future of Daqin. With me, I can help you win the throne, avoid the dynasty's demise, and make you become the king from ancient times. The greatest emperor ever!"

Xiao Mingrui turned to the publication date and was silent for a long, long time.

He just watched Xie Mingyan's arrogant words without saying a word.

"Do you think you can change history?"

"Why not, history is created by people."

Xiao Mingrui lowered his head and turned to a certain page, looked at a passage on it, turned around after a long time and said, "This world can still function without anyone."

Saying that, he went without looking back.

Xie Mingyan looked at him in astonishment, and it took him a while to react.

Facing the closed iron door, she shouted loudly: "You can't do this to me, I can help you, Xiao Mingrui, you bastard, it's useless for you to get that book, without me, you still can't change anything !"

But only empty echoes echoed her.

Xie Mingyan was at a loss, despair and depression attacked her.

She felt incredible.

How could he refuse?

Previously, she thought that Xiao Mingrui locked her up because he wanted to imprison her freedom alone.The purpose is for her to predict the future and know the future.

But now.

Why isn't he tempted? Which man can refuse those beautiful prospects?
Only she can help him, can't she?
Echoing from the empty room and the cold iron windows was her hysterical cry.

It shouldn't be like this.

Is this the end of her time travel?
This shouldn't be her life.

Since you can travel through time, shouldn't you do something?
You can't just cross over for no reason, right?

This matter really confuses her.

When Xiao Mingrui left this place, Wu Jing asked, "My lord, how will this girl be arranged?"

Xiao Mingrui thought for a while, then clenched the book in his sleeve, his fingers tightened, and it took a long time for his lips to open: "Just lock her here..."

After taking two steps, I thought of something, but stopped again: "Change to another place, lock it in a room, and seal everything around."

He left here with a sullen face, but his heart was really a mess.

Sometimes, knowing the future is actually not a good thing.

The more you know, the more burden you have on your heart.

If you want to avoid things that may happen, but you don't want to, you will have a burden.

Sometimes, he wished he hadn't read the book.

"Where's the princess?"

"Go back to the prince, the concubine is in the main room at the moment, commanding people to prepare the banquet at noon."

"Well. Go and see when Master Zhou will arrive."

Xiao Mingrui was in a dispirited mood, so he went directly to the study to pick up the book, and read it carefully from beginning to end.

Looking at him, he began to frown, unhappy, especially every time he saw a paragraph of it, he couldn't accept it.

At last he put away the book, hid it, locked it, and never read it again.

Rubbing between his eyebrows, Xiao Mingrui felt bored and tired for no reason.

I don't know how long it took, Su De said softly at the door of the study: "Master, it will take another hour for Master Zhou to arrive."

Xiao Mingrui responded, Su De came in, lifted a copper pot from the exquisite small stove in the side room, poured some hot water, the western towel was soaked, tried to see that the temperature was almost there, and twisted it over.

"My lord, please be comfortable for a while."

Xiao Mingrui didn't object, and covered his face with a western towel, the warm breath soothed his restless mood, and he didn't remove it until the temperature of the towel dropped.

"Sud..."

He paused, not knowing where to start.

"master?"

"Su De, tell me, if one day a fortune teller tells you that your friend will have a disaster in the future, will you tell him?"

Su De looked at Xiao Mingrui in surprise, wondering how the master would say this now.

But he was indeed a good eunuch, and he began to think of the reason why Xiao Mingrui asked this question.

"It's hard for this old slave to decide. After all, it's hard to tell whether it's true or not. What if the fortune teller is a fool? If I tell others, who knows what the situation will be? I'm afraid I will offend others. "

Xiao Mingrui frowned: "Then what if this person is a very accurate fortune teller? But the other party is not someone who would believe such things."

Su De smiled and said: "Then don't talk about it, ask the fortune teller, how can you avoid this matter, wait until the matter is over, if there is nothing wrong, don't talk about it, if there is something wrong, then tell your friends, isn't that all right? "

Xiao Mingrui glanced at him, his eyes lit up.

"That's right, it doesn't matter if you don't say it."

Now that he already knows some things, can he still sit back and watch things happen?

That woman was right... History is made by people.

If he really became the emperor in the future, wouldn't he be able to change the fate of some people?

He doesn't believe that the world is the same layer.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mingrui felt the sullenness in his heart disappear a lot, and a smile appeared on his face.

"I'd better go and see what the concubine has prepared, and it's better to meet the master's wishes."

Su De didn't know why Xiao Mingrui was troubled, but judging from his appearance at this moment, it was obvious that he was in a much better mood.

When he went to the main room, Murong Wei was in the small flower hall on the west side, facing the food list and instructing the cook to prepare this and that.

Just at this moment, strands of golden sunlight dimly illuminated half of her face through the newly replaced green screen window in the flower hall.
