Emperor Phoenix Policy: Feng Qingtian

Chapter 40
"Think it over, thank you father for saving Ajin's life."

The majestic voice sighed, "You have practiced for 700 years before you have cultivated the Nine Heavens and Stars Jue from the eighth level to the ninth level. You are also the only person in the Three Realms who has entered the ninth level. A woman who has been possessed by demons and has committed a lot of crimes returns to the eighth layer?"

"I've thought about it. I failed her. I'm willing to destroy my spiritual power to atone for Ah Jin's sin. In exchange for Ah Jin's life, let her be imprisoned in the Endless Ice Prison, and she will have a chance to return to the right path in the future."

Someone nearby shouted, "Your Highness, Feng Jin won't appreciate it, that female devil is full of sins, she deserves to be humiliated and die—"

With a sound of "啪!", the man was knocked out by an invisible force, rolled down the steps, and landed right at his feet.

When Pei Xiu heard his own voice, he was very indifferent, "Mr. Zhongshan, don't let me hear the same words again! Father has already spared Ah Jin's life, it's not your turn to make irresponsible remarks!"

"Yes Yes……"

The man got up dejectedly and retreated.

"Forget it, since you have made a decision, it's up to you."

The majestic voice at the end of the steps sounded empty and ethereal, and Pei Xiu only heard the voice, not the person.

He saw himself kneeling on the ground respectfully, lowering his head, a long whip, shining with golden light, was thrown out from the depths of the cloud, and hit his back heavily...

it hurts!

Pei Xiu woke up suddenly, and touched his back subconsciously. He didn't know if it was his illusion. He felt a severe pain in his back, as if he had really been whipped.

Pei Xiu walked to the bronze mirror, took off her coat, and was shocked to find a red scar looming on her back.

what happened?

Pei Xiu wanted to touch the scar, but when his hand was about to touch the scar, the scar suddenly disappeared, and his back returned to its original state.

This is so weird!
He was very sure that there was nothing wrong with his eyesight. There was indeed a hideous and distorted scar on his back before. It was thin and long, and the bone was visible deep. It looked like a whip wound.

His back was never injured at all, how did he get such a long scar?

This night, Pei Xiu waited until dawn, but the scar never appeared again, just like a flash in the pan.

At dawn, Pei Xiu called Pei Zhong in, "Go and invite Tianhe Zen master immediately!"

Pei Zhong looked distressed, "Master Xiang, Chan Master Tianhe is still wandering and has not returned to Daxiangguo Temple. According to the news before, Zen Master Tianhe will return in about three days."

"I don't want to wait that long! Send someone to find him immediately and invite him to the prime minister's mansion! I have something to ask him!"

Pei Xiu sternly said, Pei Zhong's face became even more difficult, "Master Xiang, Tianhe Chan Master's whereabouts are secretive, ordinary people can't find him..."

"Send more people to look for it! Also, buy information from the Jianghu sect with a lot of money! The truth is to see him immediately!"

Seeing Pei Xiu's firm expression, Pei Zhong had no choice but to retreat.

After washing up, it was time for the morning court, and Pei Xiu rode his horse to the palace.

There is nothing special about the early court today, it is still the endless and tedious government affairs, all kinds of troubles in the states and counties are always reported to the court, which needs to be dealt with by the court.

Some bandits caused disasters and needed the imperial court to send troops to suppress bandits, and some snowstorms required the imperial court to allocate funds for disaster relief.

Throughout the morning, Pei Xiu was a little absent-minded, thinking about things in his dream.

Who is he?Is that man in the dream him?No, the voice doesn't sound like him at all, not even the name.

Although he couldn't remember what his name was in the dream, Pei Xiu just knew that his name was not Pei Xiu in the dream.

Also, who is that unparalleled woman?Her name is Jin?
Pei Xiu suddenly remembered that Pei Zhong said that when he had a headache, he kept murmuring A Jin's name. At that time, Pei Zhong thought he was calling A Jin, the maiden name of Her Majesty the Empress.

Also, the place in the dream is very strange, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the empty mountains are clear and far away, he has traveled to many places, but he has never seen it, and he has never heard anyone mention that such a place exists.

Especially in the last scene, the place where he knelt was surrounded by auspicious clouds, not like the world, but like a fairyland.

What does it all matter?
Pei Xiu couldn't figure it out.

In the early dynasty, the three ministers from the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Officials, and the Ministry of Industry, and other officials attached to him surrounded him as usual and complimented him.

Pei Xiu didn't have much patience to deal with them today, so he rode away after a few perfunctory words.

As soon as he reached the palace gate, he turned back for some reason and rushed towards the queen's bedroom.

As soon as he walked to the door of the bedroom, he saw a little eunuch rushing to the queen's room to report the news.

Pei Xiu frowned. The defense here is much tighter today. He can feel that there are many hidden guards ambushing around. Is it because Pei Yu broke in suddenly last night, and Wuming, as the leader of the hidden guards, strengthened the defense?
What about before?Why was the previous defense so loose?
Pei Xiu looked coldly at this familiar bedroom. He had been here countless times, and he was extremely familiar with it, but today, a strong sense of strangeness came to his heart.

Not only these complete strangers from the palace, but also the guards hiding in the dark staring at him, and Her Majesty the Empress inside!

Everything feels strange to him.

Just as Pei Xiu was about to enter the room, a court lady greeted her and said with a smile, "Master Xiang, please wait a moment, Your Majesty is still washing up."

Pei Xiu didn't even look at her, and was about to walk past her, but the maid blocked his way, and said with a slight smile, "Please wait patiently, Your Majesty will summon you after you've finished washing up."

"What? If she doesn't summon the truth, the truth can't go in?"

Pei Xiu said with a blank face, Aunt Zhong was smiling and kept saying good things, but she didn't let him in.

Pei Xiu's face turned cold, and she was about to push Aunt Zhong away to force her way in. Feng Jin's voice came from inside, "Aunt Zhong, you should step back first."

Aunt Zhong responded softly, and withdrew respectfully.

Pei Xiu snorted coldly, walked in with big strides, and looked at Feng Jin sitting in front of the dressing table, her head full of black hair hanging down, lustrous and lustrous, black and shiny.

Lvyi was combing her hair with a jade comb, while Wuming stood beside her, casting her cold eyes on Pei Xiu.

"Tell me, come to see me early in the morning, what's the matter?"

Pei Xiu looked at the palace people serving Feng Jin in an orderly manner, and smiled coldly, "Your Majesty's skills are getting better and better, these palace people are very obedient, even a little palace maid dares to stop her." The way of the truth."

Feng Jin gave him a sideways look with a half-smile, and said calmly, "Aunt Zhong is my aunt in charge, so naturally she puts me first and stops those who should be stopped."

Just when Pei Xiu was about to say something, Feng Jin was too lazy to talk to him about these small things, so she raised her eyelids and said calmly, "Speak, what's the matter?"

Pei Xiu didn't know why he came here, he should go back to Xiang's mansion, but when he was about to reach the gate of the palace, he turned back again, as if there was another voice in his body calling him, as if deep down in his heart he felt that coming here could Find the answer he wants.

Seeing that Pei Xiu didn't speak, Feng Jin made a gesture, and the green clothes led the palace people to bow their heads and retreat respectfully, only Feng Jin, Pei Xiu and Wuming were left in the room.

"I have already sent the palace servants away, if Pei Qing has anything to say, just speak up."

Feng Jin picked up the jade comb and was about to comb her hair when Wuming took it and helped her comb her hair quietly.

In order to relax and maintain her hair, Feng Jin asked Lvyi to comb her hair [-] times every morning and evening, and massage the acupoints on her head. Going to do other things, Wuming took her hand.

Pei Xiu didn't speak, just watched Wuming's every move without blinking.

The room was silent, and the atmosphere among the three of them was strangely quiet.

"If Pei Qing has nothing to do, please step back."

Pei Xiu remained indifferent, just stood there, watching Wuming comb Feng Jin's hair.

Wuming's cold eyes cast over, and the two looked at each other.

The dark tide is raging, and no one is willing to give in. Wuming's eyes are getting colder and colder, staring at Pei Xiu as if he wants to kill him.

Sensing the undercurrent between Wuming and Pei Xiu, just as Feng Jin was about to speak, Pei Xiu suddenly sneered, "The leader of His Majesty's hidden guard, since he gained the identity of a male favorite, he has become more and more possessive of His Majesty. Well, I forgot my true identity so quickly, but it was a royal family—”

Just as the word 'dog' was about to come out, seeing Feng Jin's face suddenly darkened, Pei Xiu was stunned, swallowed it quickly, and changed his words, "It's just a dead soldier raised by the royal family, it's already heavenly to be by His Majesty's side." Well, dare to think about anything else?"

Feng Jin glanced at Wuming, and saw that his handsome and stern face was expressionless as usual, but the light in his eyes was dim.

Wuming's background is too humble, as Pei Xiu said, being able to be by her side is already a blessing from heaven, as for other things, even if Feng Jin wants to give it, civil and military officials will not allow it.

Wuming understands this truth better than she does, and he has never said it before, so he silently endured it.

Perhaps for him, being able to accompany her and protect her is enough.

But what about Feng Jin?
No!This is not enough!
She is Feng Jin!Feng Jin who changed the color of the world back then!

She is not even afraid of the sky, but is she afraid of those pedantic and self-righteous officials?
"I promised Wuming that there would be a couple for the rest of my life."

Feng Jin ignored Pei Xiu's shocked face, and smiled, "So, he dominates me and doesn't like the way other men look at me. I can understand it, and I'm even happy because it's a sign that he cares about me. .”

Wuming stared blankly at Feng Jin, he didn't expect that she really wanted to be a couple with him forever, he never expected such things.

As for Pei Xiu, it can be said that his face changed drastically. He first stared at Wuming sharply, and then frowned, "Your Majesty, this is absolutely impossible!"

Feng Jin curled her lips, "Why not?"

Why not?

Pei Xiu couldn't think of the reason either, he only knew that there was only Wuming around the queen, absolutely not.

His mind was blank, chaotic, and extremely chaotic.

After pondering for a long time, Pei Xiu came up with a reason, "If the civil and military officials know about it, they will definitely remonstrate with death!"

"If they remonstrate with death for this kind of thing, they are simply pedantic and incompetent. It is no pity for such a courtier to die!"

Feng Jin said nonchalantly, seeing Pei Xiu standing there with a pale and pale face, he waved his hand impatiently, "Get back!"

Pei Xiu didn't back down. He looked at Feng Jin with a lazy expression and bright eyes, and that inexplicable feeling resurfaced in his heart. He seemed to have seen the woman in his dream, and murmured: "A Jin -"
