Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 40 Redemption
"Lu Kai, what are you kidding with me again? Get up! Be careful, I'm really annoyed." Mingong couldn't laugh or cry, so he waved his hands, but Ah Xi, who couldn't help crying, had already rashly knelt in front of him: "King Qibao Come on, the empress queen and imperial concubine Jin are going to kill our young master in Kunning Palace!"

"What?" Mingong suddenly turned pale with shock.

"Quickly, drive to Kunning Palace!" Amidst the heavy footsteps, Ming Gong didn't realize that he was still barefoot, and the anxious Xinyue followed closely behind holding his shoes.

"Your Majesty is here!" Accompanied by the eunuch's singing, Ming Gong rushed in hastily under the watchful eyes of the concubines.

Empress Jiang, Concubine Jin, Concubine Ge and others were caught off guard, and quickly knelt around for a week: "My concubine pays my respects to the king."

"Excuse me, Queen, where is Baosi, why did you convict her without consulting with the widow?" Ming Gong asked with a pale face.

"Well, my Majesty, this Bao Si, she violated the palace rules by relying on her favor, and accepted bribes from foreign ministers. She was lawless, so the concubines have already dealt with her according to the palace rules!" Jiang Hou replied tremblingly.

"You bastard! Where is Bao Si? You want to see people and die, so tell me quickly, what did you do to her?" Mingong immediately became furious, raised his arms and kicked Queen Jiang to the ground.For a moment, all the concubines screamed in fright.

"My lord, Baosi accepted bribes, and the eunuch An Youdao of Jianjia Palace confessed to him, and there is evidence, and the concubines dare not make mistakes." Concubine Jin handed over a large list of bribes in a panic. documents.

"This widow doesn't want to read it, call Baosi out!" Minggong knocked down the document with a flick of his sleeve, and the document was turned over on the ground.

"Emperor Concubine Jin, tell me quickly, what have you done to my little master?" Axi's eyes were filled with tears, and he kept pulling on Concubine Jin.

"Your Majesty, the concubine has already dealt with her." As soon as Emperor Jin finished speaking, several palace maids carried the emaciated Bao Si and knelt in.

"She has already drank poisonous wine!" A few resounding words came from Concubine Jin's mouth like a dead ghost.

"Hurry up, call the imperial physician immediately!" Mingong picked up the unconscious Baosi desperately, and frantically rushed to Jianjia Palace. Behind him, a string of court ladies and eunuchs obediently followed.

On the couch in Jianjia Palace, Ming Gong hadn't closed his eyes for several days and nights, and almost all the imperial physicians in the capital had entered the palace to feel the pulse of Bao Si who was suffering from severe poison.

"Treat me well, if there is something wrong with Concubine Bao, I will destroy you all!" Ming Gong roared in despair.

On the jade couch, Bao Si's lips were blue and purple, she was unconscious, and her brows were furrowed, as if to show her grievance. A Xi kept holding her hand tightly and looked at her tearfully.

"Your Majesty, Young Master Jutu??????" A few faint words in sleep touched Ming Gong's self-esteem.

Thousands of miles away, the frontier fortress was covered with heavy snow. In order to lure the enemy to go deeper, Dug Tu and Cheng Rong had already grazed all the cattle and sheep outside the fortress, plus soldiers building fortifications. It seemed that they wanted to gradually advance the defense line.

"Doctor Cheng Rong, is Quan Rong really going to be fooled by us and send the main force here?" Qu Tu looked at Cheng Rong who was talking and laughing suspiciously, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

Cheng Rong stroked his beard, and said with a calm smile: "Mr. Jutu, don't you need to be in a hurry. In war, you are looking at patience, and you are comparing yourself with size. If your mental quality is not good, you will get confused before the enemy, and you can't know yourself and the enemy. , this battle will be difficult.”

"Oh, sir is right, Bourdin's lair is threatened by us, he will definitely not be able to sit still." Jue suddenly smiled leisurely.

Looking at the dust in the distance, suddenly, a chirping bird hovered above Qutu's head, making a poignant cry.

Cheng Rong looked at the bird with colorful feathers strangely, and couldn't help sighing: "It seems that a Phoenix of Destiny is going to have a bad fate again."

"Sir, what are you talking about?" Qu Tu suddenly felt his heart tremble, and an ominous premonition arose spontaneously.

When Bao Si opened her eyes again, she found that the sunlight was so dazzling. She got up suddenly and found that she was lying on the couch in Jianjia Palace. The weakness after detoxification made her feel as if her body was half As if hanging in the air, she could smell the fragrance of flowers and plants outside the window lattice again.

"Axi!" Baosi called in a low voice, Axi was watering the flowers on the window lattice, when he heard Baosi's voice, he quickly flew in happily.

"My lord, you've finally woken up, and this servant is really worried." Axi happily held Baosi's bright wrist.

"Axi, what happened? How did we come back to Jianjia Palace?" Bao Si asked quietly.

"Then we have to thank our king. He was the one who carried the little master from Kunning Palace to Jianjia Palace. For several days and nights, the king didn't eat or drink. He searched for all the famous doctors in the world to rescue the little master. There is such a Your Majesty, the young master is really happy!" Axi said with a sweet smile.

"I have not accepted bribes, I have not violated the palace rules, and Uncle Sun has never bribed me, Axi, help me up. I want to make it clear to the king!" Bao Si seemed to remember something, and struggled to get up .

"My lord, you are still sick, so you can't get out of bed and walk around at this time. You are too serious and stubborn. Although Imperial Concubine Jin and the others are proud of it for a while, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. What they created Your Majesty will not believe the rumors about you." Ah Xi persuaded with a smile.

In the study room of Chaoyang Palace, Ming Gong was reading the memorial by himself. Although he heard that Bao Si had woken up in the morning, he still resisted not going to visit him.

Empress Jiang and Concubine Jin's attack on Baosi made him very angry, because he had seen with his own eyes the name of Uncle Sun engraved on the incense bottle of Jianjia Palace, and the concubine Jin sent people to search for it. Those stolen goods made him feel unbearable grief. Just imagine that in order to rectify the court, he desperately advocated honesty and integrity, but his favorite concubine was exposed for taking bribes and selling officials. Wouldn't he slap himself in the face?In addition, he was a little heartbroken about the past between Ju Tu and Baosi, so he planned not to see Baosi for the time being, and maybe he was going to confine Baosi for a while,
"Report to Your Majesty, more than [-] ministers from the imperial court jointly signed the memorial." The imperial eunuch Xiao Dezi carefully placed a pile of memorials beside Ming Gong. Uncle Sun’s memorial, in addition, some people reiterated the legend that Baosi was the reincarnation of a demon girl, and asked Minggong to punish Baosi. Among them, someone pointed out a rumor that during the days when Baosi was seriously ill, there were lingering ghosts in the sky above Chaoyang Palace. There are countless colorful birds.

Mingong immediately recalled what he saw and heard during the days when he rescued Baosi. Indeed, there was a legend of a big bird hovering in the palace at that time, and he also saw that amazing scene himself. , or evil spirits, is it true that Baosi is the terminator of the Zhou Dynasty for more than 200 years?

Jianjia Palace, leisurely singing.
