The concubine is addicted to the world

Chapter 349, conditions (two more)

A few guards in the long pavilion were standing more than ten meters away, and a figure in a black long gown leaned quietly against the railing, holding a handful of fish food in his hand, and sprinkled the fish food little by little in his spare time.

Many schools of fish jumped out of the water and competed with each other. The man seemed to be in high spirits, staring at the water closely.

Suddenly there was a sound of footsteps, the corner of the man's mouth curled up, and he pretended not to notice that he threw the fish food in his hand into the water.

Qi Yao walked step by step, and saw the man with long hair reaching his waist, jet black and beautiful. If you didn't look carefully, you might think it was a young man.

Taking a closer look, you can see the bony bulge on the wrist, with clear veins.

"Emperor Dongchu, it's a pleasure to meet you."

The man clapped his hands, and suddenly turned his head. His face was indescribably weird, half green and half yellow, and his face was covered with bloodshot eyes like a big spider web.

There is only one eyeball on the face, but the other side is very hollow, dark and bottomless, this appearance is three points more terrifying than a ghost.

When the mouth opened and closed, there were actually two tongues, which made the scalp numb.

"Daoist Tianshu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Qi Yao glanced lightly, and was not frightened by this appearance.

Daoist Tianshu was very light, and sat opposite Qi Yao in the blink of an eye.

"Emperor Dongchu is worthy of being the overlord of the world. His unconcealable aura is only convincing. I heard that Emperor Dongchu has been asking around for the whereabouts of the old man these days?"

The voice of Taoist Priest Tianshu was as dry as a dead branch, and there was a piercing gritty feeling in his ears.

Qi Yao nodded, "Yes, I do have something to ask."

"Hehe, there is no need for the emperor to say more, Empress Su is dead, I am just a mortal, how can I save my life?"

Daoist Tianshu waved his hand, "Since you have a sympathetic knot, you should know my rules. Although I paid the Ning family a favor, I don't owe you. The transaction between you has nothing to do with me."

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, "How can the Taoist priest be willing to help? Since the Taoist priest can turn the stars around and recruit people's souls back to their positions, it should not be difficult for the Taoist priest."

"Since the Taoist leader knows that I have traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, I am determined to find the Taoist leader at all costs, and seek the Taoist leader's fulfillment."

Daoist Tianshu sneered, "Qi Yao! Although you are the overlord of the world, what can you do to me? Although I am not talented, I have everything. I can't be busy with you."

Qi Yao's throat tightened, "The Taoist priest has experienced the pain of losing his wife once. To me, the Su family is better than everything."

Daoist Tianshu looked at Qi Yao coldly, "What does that have to do with me? The Su family can still stay in the world. If it weren't for someone's life for another life, do you think there is Lu Ning today?"

Qi Yao raised his eyes, and Daoist Tianshu said again, "It's God's will that she was severely punished. If I save her, won't I be against God?"

"Taoist!" Qi Yao said anxiously, "If the Su family can survive, I am willing to shorten my life by 20 years."

Daoist Tianshu suddenly stopped talking, and took a deep look at Qi Yao.

"I have absolutely no lies. If my sincerity can impress the Taoist priest, I am willing to pay all the price."

"You understand the truth." Daoist Tianshu smiled, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the sky, "You are the emperor's fate, I'm afraid I can't stand the emperor's luck for these 20 years."

There is a folk legend that if you ask the Taoist priest Tianshu for help, you must contribute 20 years of life. According to rumors, the Taoist priest Tianshu has used the fate of others to prolong his life so far.

No one knows how old Tianshu Daoist is.

Seeing that Taoist Tianshu's tone was a bit loose, Qi Yao's heart relaxed slightly.

The corner of Tianshu Daoist's mouth curled up, and he outlined a wicked smile, "If you have the heart, how about making me emperor, and sharing the world's hegemony with you."

Qi Yao pursed his lips tightly, and Daoist Tianshu also looked at Qi Yao seriously, and the two looked at each other, neither of them to be outdone.

"What I want is to share, but not to replace it. Since you have given me a lifespan, I have no blessing to enjoy it. Isn't it a waste?"

Daoist Tianshu's tone was quite sarcasm, "Which is more important between the world and you, the Su family and you?"

Qi Yao choked.

"Go back and think about it carefully. There are only ten days left. The food and drink are served here. It doesn't matter if you stay for a few days."

Daoist Tianshu continued to lean on the railing, grabbed the fish food and sprinkled it down little by little.

"It's better for you, you can be free all day without worrying about it, you don't know what troubles are, what's so good about being a human being, hey..."

Tianshudao let out a long sigh.

After a long time, Qi Yao turned around and left, telling Ji Wuyou what the Taoist Priest Tianshu had said.

Ji Wuyou frowned, "He really dares to drive, and he is not afraid of losing his life!"

"If he doesn't nod and agree, all previous efforts will be in vain." Qi Yao stared at the table, and soon fell into deep thought.

Ji Wuyou was also silent, the last chance was in front of her eyes, if she missed the seventh day, Su Han could only be Lu Ning forever.

"The substitute has been prepared. Huazhu will teach the rules and etiquette in person these few days. It should be no problem. As for the Taoist priest, as long as the emperor makes a decision, the minister will follow and support him."

Ji Wuyou said slowly, compared to letting Qi Yao live like a dead body, 20 years of the emperor's position is not enough.

Qi Yao hummed lightly, "I know."

The Empress Dowager Lu's movements were very swift and violent, and several civil and military officials in a row put pressure on Emperor Yusheng, who had no choice but to set the date on the sixth day of the next month.

Lu Ying was so happy that she almost jumped up, "Great, I'm finally going to be the princess."

Meng's face was sad, "The good marriage has now become a happy event, it's too unlucky, I really wronged you."

Lu Ying shook her head, "How could it be, as long as you can stay with Shizi, this little grievance is nothing, it's just that Lu Ning got married for nothing, and she wanted to marry me on the same day!"

"Ma'am, the palace is here to hire you." At this moment, a servant at the door said.

Meng Shi nodded, "I'll come right away, the days are really tight, hey."

Lu Ying was full of joy, waiting so hard for this day to finally come, and couldn't help but follow.

There were two hundred dowry gifts in the courtyard, which were extremely luxurious, and the most conspicuous thing was the phoenix crown that was placed at the front.

The rest of the big boxes were all tied with red silk, and filled the entire courtyard. There was a Xi Po singing flattering words, and everything that caught the eye was red.

"Congratulations to the second lady. This is a dowry gift personally given by the emperor in the palace. It shows how much the royal family values ​​the eldest concubine."

Seeing the betrothal gifts in a courtyard, Meng felt relieved and had a smile on his face.

"reward!"

"Oh, thank you, Second Madam!" Xi Po said.

When Xi Po began to sing the betrothal gift, everyone gave Lu Ying a look of envy for the guards, and the happy Lu Ying couldn't hold back her smile.

"There are rewards for everything!"

The sound of gongs and drums outside was very lively, Lu Xiaoyin frowned slightly, "What's the sound?"

Luxiu raised her eyes to look at Lu Xiaoyin, she felt better after several days of rest.

"Yes...he's here to hire Miss San." Luxiu gritted her teeth.

boom!
The bowl in Lu Xiaoyin's hand fell to the ground and shattered into several petals, and she reprimanded sharply, "Nonsense, the prince still values ​​filial piety, how can he be hired?"

"Miss, it's true, not only the third miss, but also the princess of the princess mansion is also hired today, and they will marry into Prince Chen's mansion together on the sixth day of next month."

Luxiu hurriedly knelt on the ground, "Miss, this is the emperor's order. The queen mother is dying, and the Qin Tianjian watches the sky at night. He said that the best way is to let the son marry to celebrate the queen mother."

Lu Xiaoyin lifted the quilt, stood barefoot on the ground, a burst of coldness came from the soles of her feet to her head, her face was pale.

"If I can get married, wouldn't my child die in vain?"

Lu Xiaoyin grabbed Lvxiu, full of unwillingness, a trace of blood red from the corner of her mouth in anger and anger.

"Miss, don't be impulsive."

Lu Xiaoyin didn't care much, and rushed out directly, eyes full of hatred.

"Stop Miss!" Ning Rouxue just walked over at this moment, with a gloomy face.

"Mother?" Lu Xiaoyin was stopped by two maidservants, turned her head and looked at Ning Rouxue sadly, and said extremely unwillingly, "Mother has also heard about it, right? God is really unfair to me! "

Ning Rouxue sighed, and grabbed Lu Xiaoyin's arm, "Yin'er, there will always be a chance in the future."

Lu Xiaoyin suddenly shook off Ning Rouxue's arm, and rushed over while she was off guard.

Ning Rouxue was shocked, "Go and chase!"

Lu Xiaoyin ran like crazy, the chirping of the crowd pierced her ears, her eyes were red, Lu Ying was charming, gentle and virtuous standing in the crowd, very conspicuous.

The smile on the corner of Lu Ying's mouth was very eye-catching to Lu Xiaoyin, and she hated and was angry.

"Miss, it's Miss Six." The maid whispered in Lu Ying's ear.

Lu Ying raised her eyes and saw Lu Xiaoyin, the smile on the corner of Lu Ying's mouth widened, and there was a hint of provocation in her eyes.

Lu Ying was about to rush out as soon as her head got hot, but fortunately Ning Rouxue came in time and ordered her servant girl to take Lu Xiaoyin back.

"Mother!" Lu Xiaoyin tightly held Ning Rouxue's arm, "All of this belongs to me, it's Lu Ying, it's her who caused my daughter to become what she is now!"

Lu Xiaoyin hated it very much.

Ning Rouxue stepped forward and slapped Lu Xiaoyin, the slap was very crisp.

"Mother?" Lu Xiaoyin looked up, puzzled.

"Yin'er, you have disappointed your mother too much, but it's just Lu Ying that makes you lose your previous shrewdness?"

Ning Rouxue couldn't hide her disappointment, "It's just a moment of elation. My mother has been suppressed by the eldest princess for 16 years. If you are like you, how can you have the status you have now? Wake up! You rushed out like this, How many people will be waiting to see your jokes, you will never turn around again in the rest of your life, and you will always be inferior to Lu Ying!"

Lu Xiaoyin was stunned for a while, and after a long time burst into tears, "Mother, my daughter is wrong!"

Ning Rouxue didn't feel bad for slapping her, one after another, Lu Xiaoyin still didn't let her worry.

Ever since Ning Rouxue came back from the palace, the Empress Dowager Lu has been ill. The purpose of insisting on marrying the eldest son is not Lu Ying but Lu Ning.

It's better for Lu Xiaoyin not to get involved in that matter of right and wrong.

After crying for a while, Lu Xiaoyin gradually regained her senses.

Ning Rouxue said in a low voice, "The queen mother insisted on marrying the son for Lu Ning. Lu Ning was born with a phoenix fate. If the son can marry Lu Ning, he will surely be able to secure the throne in the future. As for Lu Ying, it is just a stepping stone." .”

Lu Xiaoyin looked up at Ning Rouxue in surprise, "Really?"

Ning Rouxue nodded, "Of course it's true. The crown prince doesn't like Lu Ning. Sooner or later, Lu Ning will lose his favor and occupy a back seat alone. Lu Ying is different. If she becomes the crown prince's concubine, she will block it." Lu Ning's path doesn't need others to take action. Lu Ying's fate will not be much better. The most important thing now is to cultivate your self-cultivation, wait for the two tigers to fight, and reap the benefits of the fisherman. If you ruin the queen mother's affairs, you will never be spared you."

Lu Xiaoyin gradually calmed down and sniffled, "Mother, don't worry, my daughter knows, thank you mother for waking her up in time."

"Silly boy, you are mother's darling, can mother still harm you?"

Lu Xiaoyin's eyes turned, "Mother, now that Lu Ying is holding onto her daughter, she will have to threaten her in the future. She must repay her twice as much for what she did to her, otherwise she will not be reconciled!"

Ning Rouxue was silent for a while.

"Mother, I beg mother to help my daughter, otherwise my daughter will never raise her head."

Lu Xiaoyin begged.

Ning Rouxue nodded, "Mother knows this matter well, we are planning from a long-term perspective, we must not neglect it."

"Thank you mother."
