Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 404
In the Chaoyang Palace in the capital city of Hao, there are many guards and sharp halberds, while the Jianjia Palace, the residence of the Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, is desolate and desolate at this time, and no one cares about it.

"Sister Axi, what's the matter with my lord? Why has he been in a coma? Can't drink soup? If this continues, what can we do?" In front of Baosi's bed, the worried and tearful Mingyue stared helplessly at her. Looking at the same anxious Axi.

"Mingyue, no matter what, I must take the heat back for the young master. Although it is late autumn, the well water in the palace is still usable. Bring a basin. Remember, use it on the young master's forehead for an hour. Cover it with a wet towel." Axi looked sadly at Baosi's haggard face and bruised lips, and suddenly made up his mind to tell Mingyue.

"It seems that now, it is hopeless to expect the king to change his mind and send people to save the young master. It is really indifferent to the extreme! How did the king promise to our young master? He only loves her and trusts her forever. She? But in the end, to listen to the slander, ignore the little master, and let him fend for himself, the king is too cruel and ungrateful!" Mingyue complained with her mouth pouting.

"Mingyue, don't talk nonsense, I don't hate those who betray my heart, but at this moment, what's the use of being angry, I just hope that the savior of the little master will arrive as soon as possible!" Axi looked at the crescent moon in the sky profoundly, muttered to himself.

Chaoyang Palace's Hengwu Garden was filled with laughter and piercing sounds of drums and zithers. Ming Gong, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was having a drink with the charming Wu Susu. The maids and eunuchs stood outside the curtain, not daring to speak loudly.

"Report to Your Majesty, Lord Lu Kai seeks an audience." At this time, Xiao Ruzi came in to report.

"Lu Kai? Have you done what the widow entrusted to him?" Ming Gong waved his hand at Xiao Ruzi in displeasure. After a while, the cabinet minister Lu Kai knelt down to pay his respects.

"Lu Kai, did Xue promise to capture that little girl?" Mingong stared angrily at Lu Kai who was kneeling at the bottom of the jade steps, and asked coldly.

"Your Majesty, the minister is incompetent. He was afraid of hurting Xueying and damaging the royal family's reputation, so he never dared to let his subordinates shoot arrows at Xueying. Therefore, Xueying has already disappeared without a trace!" Lu Lu Kai kowtowed to plead guilty.

"Hmph, forgive me this girl has no skills, even if she runs away, so what?" Mingong murmured contemptuously.

"However, my lord, I'm worried that Xue agreed to leave this time, most likely to go to Hulao Pass to find Qutu. Once Qutu knows the situation in Beijing, then it's okay." Lu Kai hesitated.

"Even if Qu Tu knows, so what? How dare he raise an army to rebel for the sake of the Queen? What a joke, I am not afraid that he will not come. If he dares to come, it will happen that the old and new debts will be settled. For the sake of Da Zhou's future, this hand You must get rid of the stumbling block that holds you back!" Before Lu Kai could finish speaking, the wine glass in Mingong's hand had already been thrown to the ground.

"Then is the king going to come to Beijing suddenly?" Lu Kai asked, clasping his hands.

"Yes, come to Beijing, Lu Kai, prepare well outside Chaoyang Palace, if you find any traces of excavation, you will be shot!" Ming Gong said fiercely.

Just as Lu Kai stepped back, Xiao Ruzi suddenly stepped forward to report: "My lord, Qiu Yunxuan lifted Concubine Jiang, and came to thank you."

"Oh, it's her, tell her to come in." Mingong said indifferently.After a while, Concubine Jiang, dressed in gorgeous clothes, solemnly gave Ming Gong a big gift.

Minggong looked at Concubine Jiang calmly as much as possible, and smiled slowly: "Concubine Jiang, although the widow is not yet sure, between you and Baosi, who harmed who, but I will tell you You let it out, do you know why?"
