Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 414 Hatred (2)
In Shuilong Shurendian, Ming Gong, who was worried about Baosi's condition and kept his brows downcast, paced back and forth in the hall, watching Cheng Rong and Baoshang covetously.

"Cheng Rong, what's going on with Hulaoguan and his party? Do you still want to be my courtier of the Great Zhou again?" Ming Gong's deep eyes fixed on Cheng Rong.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty Quetu is indeed utterly loyal. His ministers went to the border to announce the imperial decree. Quetu's subordinates cheered and went to the front line to resist Xirong and contribute to the country. But Your Majesty, Xirong's army has exceeded 15 this time. The situation in our army is not optimistic." Cheng Rong replied happily.

"Cheng Rong, tell me, if Jutu makes more military exploits, will he be even more rebellious and despise the court?" Ming Gong put his hands behind his back and stared into Cheng Rong's eyes.

"In my opinion, the wise king should not only kill decisively, but more importantly, check and balance." Cheng Rong replied cleverly.

"This time, if it wasn't because of Concubine Xue." Mingong just said this, as if his throat was choked.

"Have you heard? The reason why the empress has been ill recently is because the Jianjia Palace is haunted by ghosts. Every midnight, the vicinity of the Jianjia Palace is eerie."

"What are you talking about?" Axi walked all the way from the palace wall, and suddenly heard several court ladies and eunuchs gathered together, whispering to each other, and couldn't help but hurried forward to ask.

"Aunt Axi, we are all talking about the haunted Jianjia Palace. I heard that there are often people hiding in the dark talking about the Jianjia Palace, saying that the Jianjia Palace is haunted." The maids hurriedly saluted.

"Isn't that reasonable? Who is doing this in secret, spreading rumors, the young master is sick, isn't this secretly cursing our young master?" Axi said angrily.

In Jianjia Palace, Mingyue drew the thin curtains, walked lightly to the bed, visited Baosi's condition, and asked softly, "My lord, how do you feel today? Are you feeling better?"

Bao Si wriggled her lips happily: "Mingyue, the imperial physician Zhou has prescribed medicines these days, and they have taken care of them carefully. It really is much better. However, I can occasionally hear people shouting and spreading rumors outside the palace. What's going on?"

"My lord, it must be the little eunuchs from other palaces who were arguing, which disturbed my lord. Don't worry, my lord. This servant will go to the Shuilong Shuren Palace to kowtow to the king." Mingyue comforted.

"Mingyue, I feel that there are ghosts haunting the dark place. In the middle of the night, people often secretly throw branches into our palace walls, pretending to be Xue'er's soul." Bao Si pursed her lips.

"That's right, young master, so you know it too. It must be those scumbags in Hengwuyuan who were secretly assigned by someone to haunt ghosts on purpose." Ah Xi happened to come in to answer the conversation.

"Concubine Su? Axi, we want her to steal a lot of money right now, everyone, come here." Baosi frowned, and secretly instructed Axi and Mingyue.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and the Jianjia Palace was quiet and quiet. Sure enough, when it was midnight, a head popped up on the palace wall, looked into the palace for a long time, then secretly picked up the pine branches on the ground, and looked towards the palace. littering.

Just when this person was triumphant, he suddenly found that there was a white thing floating inside the palace wall, staring straight at him with cold eyes.

"Oh my god!" the spy immediately yelled, staggeringly jumped off the palace wall, and fled in embarrassment.

"It's not good, the Jianjia Palace found an assassin, catch the assassin!" Immediately, the gongs and drums in the Jianjia Palace were beeping, and the maids and eunuchs rushed out in a hurry to chase after the palace lanterns. Outside, he ran all the way towards Hengwu Garden.

"Open the door, we are the maids of Jianjia Palace. We have just captured the assassin and we have been chasing to Hengwuyuan. Please open the door immediately and let the servants check." Under the bright red palace lantern, Axi, who was in high spirits, immediately knocked on the gate of Hengwuyuan. . ,

"What? You caught ghosts here for the Jianjia Palace?" In the bedroom, Concubine Su was in a panic, complaining about the maids and eunuchs under her command.

"Miss Concubine Su, the slaves and servants came here to catch ghosts just now for the safety of the empress. If the empress is inconvenient, the servants will invite the king to come up." The cheerful Mingyue said aggressively.

Suddenly, the gate of Hengwu Garden was opened from left to right, and Concubine Su in palace attire stood coldly in front of Axi.

"Slave maid Axi, send your respects to your empress. It was just now that the Jianjia Palace was haunted by ghosts, which disturbed the empress's peace of mind to recover from her illness. Therefore, the slave servants obeyed the king's decree and persevered in catching ghosts everywhere. It's just that these little maidservants under the slave servants are too ignorant, so they chased after them unexpectedly. When they arrived outside the empress's palace, the slaves and servants were worried, for fear that the ghost would sneak into the empress' bedroom and harm the empress, so they had no choice but to call the door recklessly." Axi said righteously.

"Okay, okay! Axi, you are so bold." Concubine Su pursed her lips, her veins bursting with anger.

"What the empress means is that slaves are not qualified to protect the safety of the empress, so the slaves immediately went to the Shuilong Shuren Hall to answer." A Xi secretly laughed.

"Okay, good Axi, look at this palace, don't go around talking about this matter anymore, after all, ghosts and gods are a big taboo in the palace, it's not good to let the king know." Concubine Su bit the silver. teeth, in the end he had to say it kindly.

The next day, in Jianjia Palace, yesterday was deeply frustrated by Concubine Su's harassment. Axi and Mingyue were both inexplicably excited and relieved. Baosi leaned on the bed and listened leisurely to Axi and Mingyue's vivid teasing. smile.

"My lord finally smiled. This is a good sign. Don't worry, my lord. Concubine Su is so stupid. She is no match for us at all." Axi said happily.

"Axi, Xue'er is gone. This palace is full of rumors and slanders. Right now, the most important thing for this palace is to take good care of our health. We will not waste the opportunity that Xue'er gave us with her life. Sooner or later, I will definitely avenge Xue'er!" Bao Si's gazes were full of melancholy and determination.

For several days in a row, the border gate sent urgent military information to Haojing, which made Minggong highly nervous. Hearing that Xirong had increased its troops, with a strength of more than 20, he declared that he would use a saber to force Dazhou to re-select the princess and marry him. Minggong was furious and immediately assigned Cheng Rong and Baoshang lead reinforcements to the front line respectively. Seeing that a desperate battle is about to start at the border, Ming Gong, full of melancholy, orders that he must raise a large army and rations to help Dug Tu win a complete victory.
