Evil Phoenix: The Queen's Good Conspiracy

Chapter 47
Outside the gate of the imperial city, all the refugees lay on the ground and slept all night.One street was extremely depressed, as if all the people in the capital were afraid to go out, let alone come to do business.Songbirds flew over their heads now and then, stirring up a moment of silence and sorrow.Suddenly there was a loud noise, and the people outside the gate seemed to be shaken by something. They all rubbed their sleepy eyes and looked towards the gate of the city.

"what is that……"

"Who came out..."

"Eh? What's going on...?"

The people in the city were talking about it, and they looked through the crack of the door.

As the heavy gate of the imperial city was slowly opened, the magnificent scene in the palace gradually fell into everyone's eyes.When those people saw it, someone shouted excitedly: "The palace, that's the palace! I saw the inside of the palace!!"

"Yes! I saw the palace!" Another person also said excitedly.

Suddenly, a group of neatly dressed Jin Yiwei galloped out on palm steeds, clearing the way first.The horseshoes galloped wildly, and Shen Yun in the front was dressed in a red and black brocade sweater, holding a long whip in his hand and a copper stirrup on his feet. His long hair under the black hat fluttered in the wind. On that expressionless handsome face, there was an overwhelming Hold the momentum of others.

After him, dozens of Jin Yiwei also rode out, deliberately separating the two sides, intending to clear a path for no one.

At this moment, almost all the people were stunned by the Jin Yiwei who was rushing out, and they didn't even dare to say anything, they just stared blankly, and stepped back involuntarily.The imperial city, which was deeply surrounded, opened a wide avenue from here.Then Jin Yiwei stopped moving forward, turned his horse's head around, and stood guard on both sides.The same is true for Shen Yunzhi in front, he suddenly pulled the reins, and after hearing a horse screaming, he turned around quickly and looked at the people who were about to come out in the second wave.

When the common people saw this, they all followed Shen Yunzhi's gaze, and soon saw another line of horses coming out slowly.

But this time, instead of galloping like Jin Yiwei just now, he walked forward in an orderly and orderly manner.

Seeing this team, all the people were also extremely surprised and looked around one after another.Because the ones who came out this time were all the high-ranking ministers in the Nanyue Dynasty.They are all wearing navy blue official uniforms, red trousers and black boots, with flower feathers on their tops.

"Look, it's adults, they are all officials!" A young man shouted with excitement.

On weekdays, even if they played drums, it was just to meet the ninth-rank sesame official of the county government.

Speaking of which, the common people had the opportunity to see such a lineup several times in their lives, and even a few people had the opportunity to see the demeanor of the regent minister.

At this time, another steed came out slowly. Everyone was shocked when they saw it, and then turned into an even more excited expression.

According to folk rumors, the first-rank Grand Fu Gongsun, who was deeply loved by the people, was actually in this queue.

Incredible, unbelievable!
Immediately, Gongsun Jing looked sideways at the people beside him, and he had a serious expression just now, but slowly softened, so he accelerated his horse and moved forward again.

"The grown-ups have all come out, there should be no more... Hey, look, what is that?!"

Just when everyone's eyes were focused on those ministers, they suddenly saw a gauze carriage slowly driving out from inside, attracting everyone's attention at once.

They looked at each other and whispered, unable to figure out who was in the carriage that came out last.

Is it the emperor?

But the emperor has his own dragon-topped golden sedan chair, and he will not surround it with veils.

So who will it be?
At this moment, there was a burst of drumming from above the palace, as if it was deliberately to make the people in the whole city come to watch at ease.

The sound of the drums drifted with the wind, covering almost every piece of land in the capital. The people in the city really couldn't help but put down their work and ran over to watch such an unrivaled spectacle.

Who would it be, and what would it be?Everyone is guessing.

"Look, look, the palace gate is closed!" At this moment, the young man who shouted earlier shouted again.

At the same time, the door, which was wide open just now, was finally closed heavily by the guards of the palace gate, once again completely isolating everything outside from the inside.

The horseshoes burst, and the cart rolled forward.This mighty official team seemed to be rushing in a certain direction, attracting the common people to follow, almost forgetting what they came here for today.

After about half a stick of incense, the official team finally slowed down in an open space, and as Shen Yunzhi tightened the reins, all the people stopped at this place immediately.

The people were puzzled, so they looked not far away.

A gust of wind blew by, and the place in front of me seemed particularly empty, except for a somewhat desolate teahouse next to it, which seemed to receive wanderers.

It was a high platform enough to accommodate dozens of people, and the surrounding area seemed to have been arranged in private, and it was full of joy, which caught everyone's eyes.

"Is it a holiday? Or is there a happy event?"

"Which general won the battle again?"

Seeing this, everyone was even more arguing, and the water around the high platform was blocked, and there was a posture of never leaving without seeing any results.

At this time, all the officials got off their horses, and only the carriage with the curtain was pushed directly up the high platform from the side slope.

The wind swayed, and the yellow veil was blown into slight arcs. The people curiously wanted to look inward along the seam, but they could only see the corners of their clothes, but not their faces.And this occasional wind also seemed to indicate something, blowing away the faint dust on the stage.

At this time, Taifu Gongsun held a golden dragon scroll in his hand and walked in front of all the officials.He looked solemnly at the people in front of him, cleared his throat, and said, "This old man is Taifu Gongsun Jing, and he came here with the emperor's imperial edict."

Holy decree?

What is it that bothered so many ministers to come here?Ordinarily, posting a notice on weekdays would be the end of the matter.After hearing his words, everyone was surprised and puzzled again.

Gongsun Jing quietly glanced at the people behind the veil, sighed, and then turned to look at the people, "But before that, let the old man settle the rules first."

Gongsun Jing seriously took out another piece of paper that he had already prepared.

Before the matter starts, it is necessary to say some officialdom routines as usual, which is also the rule set by the ancestors.Even though he himself doesn't like it, but...the practice is inevitable.

But the rules are the rules, but they completely arouse the curiosity of the people.

I saw Gongsun Jing took a deep breath, squinted his eyes and read out the words he had prepared on the paper one by one, such a speech that even the emperor and empress should thank him again, making those who were already confused The common people are even more confused.

What exactly does Lord Gongsun want to do?In the past, only extremely important events would read such well-behaved words, but today there is nothing to do in Japan, but it is still so formal.

It's simply unbelievable!
However, just when Gongsun Jing opened his mouth again and said some lengthy and necessary routines, there was another kind of unrest in a teahouse nearby.

It should be the most crowded time, but today the teahouse is overcrowded.

The most important thing was that there was no one on the first floor of the teahouse, and almost everyone, including the waiter, was concentrated on the second floor.Just because today, two figures with less than one person and more than [-] people came here, making everyone including the shopkeeper become ants on the hot pot, preparing all the tea and food in a panic.

"I didn't expect that the always busy prince would come to drink tea in such a remote place today." Liu Xiangguo said with a smile, but his words revealed this unconcealable hypocrisy.

"Lord Xiangguo, you also look very elegant." Beitang Mo, who was dressed in silver and blue, smiled slightly, but his eyes glanced at Gongsun Jing who was talking non-stop outside the teahouse and doing things according to the rules.

Seeing that Beitang Mo seemed to have no interest in him at all, Liu Xiangguo couldn't help squinting his heart to feel displeased, but he also followed his gaze and looked at Gongsun Jing who was not far away.

"Master, the tea is ready." The shopkeeper bowed down in front of the two of them tremblingly and said, as if he didn't even dare to raise his head.

"How about we sit at the same table?" Beitang Mo said with a smile, and stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation.

"No." Liu Xiangguo was a little arrogant, and then turned and walked towards the other side, but the moment he turned around, he showed a weird smile.

Beitangmo, today is probably the only day when you can drink tea safely.

Seeing Liu Xiangguo directly rejecting the invitation, Beitang Mo didn't care at all, but the smile on the corner of his lips deepened.Then he raised his blue robe with both hands, sat on the bench outside the second floor of the tea house, quietly watching what was going to happen below.

At the same time, Liu Xiangguo sat across a table from him, with his robe lifted, and turned his eyes to look outside.

I don't know what kind of tricks this Gongsun Jing is playing, he is talking like a god, and no one knows him about such actions.

but……

Liu Xiangguo turned his eyes to look at Beitang Mo who was looking down with a slight smile, and couldn't help but let out a contemptuous ridicule.

However, Beitangmo seemed to be excluded, otherwise he wouldn't be sitting in this teahouse.

"My lord, this is..." Li Ruobai, who was following Beitang Mo, was really confused by the scene, and asked softly, "Your lord, do you know the mystery?"

Beitang Mo lightly raised his fingertips, signaling Li Ruobai to temporarily silence his words, and then said flatly: "This king can't figure out this woman, just watch quietly."

Li Ruobai nodded, and stepped back to the side. When he looked up, he happened to see Gongsun Jing finish the important ceremony.

Liu Xiangguo also winked at this confidant, causing the man to nod and leave the teahouse in a hurry.

Beitang Mozi caught the man's departure, then tapped the water in the glass with his fingertips, and wrote a few words on the table in bold font.

At the touch of a hair.

Li Ruobai was taken aback, and when he realized that Xiangguo's confidant was no longer there, he immediately thought about it in his heart.

It is definitely not without reason that the prince wrote these words on the table.

It seems that Xiangguo has already placed people among these onlookers, and it seems that there will be a big disturbance soon.

In other words, chaos will begin!
This catastrophe is inevitable!

Empress, your opponent has already made a move. You who are in the palace have no eyes or ears. You have to be careful when dealing with things outside the palace.

Gongsun Jing under the teahouse finally finished his lengthy speech, and the people suddenly cheered up, stirring up a wave again.

At this time, Gongsun Jing's face was slightly solemn, as if he was going to do something desperate.So he took a deep breath and looked at the gauze curtain behind him.

The person in the yellow curtain nodded, not in a hurry, which was the complete opposite of Gongsun Jing who was a little anxious.

Gongsun Jing was silent for a while, then nodded heavily.Then he turned back to the original position, and the moment his eyes were raised, he changed into a completely different look from before, and then stretched out the imperial decree.

The people around were subconsciously wanting to kneel down, and the moment they heard the imperial decree, a man in the crowd quietly looked at Xiangguo on the teahouse with strange eyes, and then suddenly put his hands on his mouth and shouted loudly: "We want to See the queen! We want to see the queen! Kill corrupt officials and meet the queen! We don’t want to obey the imperial decree, we want the queen to be the master for us!”

When the voice settled down, as if everything had returned to silence, Beitang Mo's eyes slightly raised, Liu Xiangguo smiled slightly, and even Gongsun Jing's eyebrows twitched at this moment.

Like an arrow stretched on the string suddenly loosened its strength, all the people suddenly stood up, as if they suddenly realized that these officials had hindered what they were supposed to do, and were immediately infected by the atmosphere led by that person , So followed him and shouted: "Yes! We want to see the queen! We want the queen to make decisions for us! Only the queen is good to us!! Queen! Queen! Queen!..."

In an instant, all the people started shouting crazily as they did when they rushed into the city, and even started pushing the Jinyiwei who surrounded the outer circle.Even the archers not far away are ready in the dark to prevent riots.

"It should be suppressed, but provoked instead." Beitang Mo on the teahouse narrowed his eyes, and gently rubbed his chin with his slender fingers. In the glass-colored eyes, some depth gradually slipped, "Mu Qing, Mu Qing, what are you trying to do by doing the opposite? Hehe..."

Xiangguo, on the other hand, was drinking tea with a smile on his face, while stroking his white beard, secretly waiting for a good show.

Soon, these mobs will rise up. If Gongsun Jing can't suppress it, he will openly desecrate the emperor.

This game ended perfectly.

Su Muqing, Su Muqing, have you been drinking alone in despair in the palace?
It doesn't matter, when everything is over, he, Liu Xiangguo, will give her another pot of good wine and give her a ride!
I just don't know, she is still waiting to get this jug of wine, maybe, when he enters the palace again, this woman has already...

Hui Rong, Hui Rong, the position of empress is already in our Liu family's pocket!
After thinking about it, Liu Xiangguo's smile deepened.

Below the tea house, on the high platform, Gongsun Jing, who was really overwhelmed, hurriedly took a step back subconsciously, leaned close to the gauze curtain, and said: "The old man has already done what you said, then what, then what! What are you waiting for! "

The gauze curtain moved, stirring up a bit of heat in the air.The people inside were different from the officials outside. Luo smiled lightly, and then said calmly, "Don't worry, my lord. The time...is almost here."

At this time, the corner of the curtain was pinched by thin fingers, and suddenly pulled away.The man stepped lightly on his toes, and slowly walked out of the sedan chair with gentle yet steady steps. With one hand behind his back, he stood firmly on the ground, instantly setting off a majestic shock.

As a gust of fierce wind tore through the air, as the person in the sedan chair stood with his head held high on the highest point of the stage, the long hair behind him was blown violently, curling like weeds.

For a moment no one was moving, and no one dared to move again!Only that steady and sonorous, yet gentle voice resounded throughout the city.

"This palace is here." When the voice settled down, Mu Qing slowly raised her eyes, and under the blush, there was a faint green light.

Queen, queen, really queen? !How is it possible, how is it possible? !
Everyone's eyes were attracted by the awe-inspiring woman in front of them, and even the people below who had been screaming just now stopped in surprise, and even forgot what to do and what to say.

Everyone was shocked, only the overwhelmed man smiled slightly.

"Good fellow..." The moment the words came to a close, Beitang Moben almost choked him with the tea he wanted to drink, and even subconsciously blurted out the word of surprise, with deep embarrassment flashing in his glazed eyes. surprise.

No one could have imagined that this woman really left the palace!

This is simply, simply impossible!

Even Beitang Mo, who had always been strategizing, couldn't help being surprised by her again.

What exactly she wants to do and how she wants to do it, he really can't figure it out at all.

Looking at it, Beitang Mo suddenly smiled, and he couldn't hide his smile.

He knew that this woman would never make him feel bored!
Li Ruobai beside him looked at Beitang Mo, also full of surprise.When it was absolutely forbidden to leave the palace, the queen actually did leave the palace, and most importantly, the emperor allowed the queen to leave the palace.

This... all this is...

"How is it possible! How is it possible for her to be here, how is it possible!!"

At the same time, Liu Xiangguo, who had been calm before, suddenly stood up due to excessive surprise, knocked over the teacup, and stained the majestic official uniform so badly that he was no longer as clean as before.Those gloomy eyes were full of disbelief, and even more panic.

Everything was disrupted.

Everything is no longer going in the expected direction.

All of this...how is it possible, how could it happen! ! !
The wind blew up, stirring up a burst of invisible heat, as if everything in the air was burned up.All the people held their breath and looked at the neat woman in front of them in disbelief.

At this time, she had a faint smile on her face, Qingcheng's face was calm and unwavering, seeing all the mobs looking at her in surprise, Mu Qing took another step forward and lightly shook her sleeve robe.

"Queen, here." Mu Qing said softly, calmly.

However, Beitang Mo slightly narrowed his eyes, wanting to take a closer look, when he saw the clothes she was wearing, there was a slight tremor in the glass.At this time, she did not wear the five-phoenix auspicious robe bestowed by the emperor, but a flower feather on top, and a picture of auspicious cranes embroidered on her chest.

This... is actually the first-rank official uniform of the dynasty!
Beitang Mo suddenly got up from his seat, grasping the edge of the fence with both hands, and a brighter halo flashed in his eyes.

Interesting, interesting!
In this world, there has never been any woman who can make him feel this way.

At this time, Mu Qing seemed to feel something, raised her eyes slightly, and just met Beitang Mo's narrow and handsome eyes.She smiled gracefully, as if she had known that the prince would be here, and then lowered her head, formally addressing everyone in front of her.

"Is she really the queen? How can the queen wear official uniforms..."

"Yes, the queen is not allowed to leave the palace, how could she appear here!"

Hearing what the people around him said, the instigator hurriedly seized the opportunity, and shouted from below, "This person must not be the queen!"

The people around began to hesitate again, not knowing who to trust.

After all, few people have ever seen real queens, so Mu Qing was not surprised by their reactions at all.So he pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly turned into a big laugh, which made the common people unable to figure out the clue for a while, and even Gongsun Jing on the side was also confused. He didn't know what the queen wanted to do, wondering if it was true Crazy about the situation?
So Gongsun Jing winked and told the archers to be ready at any time.

At this moment, Mu Qing suddenly stopped laughing, and said very seriously: "You are right, I am not a queen right now!"

After saying a word, the people froze for a moment, and even the person who provoked the trouble panicked.

This... what's going on here?

She is obviously a woman, why do you call yourself the official?
Also publicly said that he is not a queen?
"Ah, I remembered... the banquet of ten thousand generals..." At this moment, a person suddenly said, looking at the people around him in surprise, "She is the queen, she is the queen... I am here at the banquet of ten thousand generals." I have worked as a handyman, and I have seen the true face of the empress...she is the Empress Su..."

After the man finished speaking, the whispering voices in the crowd became more intense, as if it was unbelievable for a while.

"Empress! Empress! Empress!" Seeing that it was his benefactor, this wave of heat-like shouts resounded through the sky again, almost shattering the clouds of that day.
