Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 770
"Marshal Jue Tu, great joy, you and my armies can shake hands and make peace today, and there will be no more wars in the membership!" With the flag fluttering, Xue Ju stood at the top of the city with a proud face, bowing his hands towards Jue Tu.

"Xue Ju, what kind of mystery are you playing in the city? Tell me, why is it called a strike and truce?" Jue Tu stared angrily at the joyful Xue Ju, and asked sharply.

"Ju Tu, it's okay to tell you about this. The imperial court has issued an imperial decree to escort the queen mother to marry me. Now, I am already a relative of the imperial court. The blood of both sides is thicker than water, so why go to war?" Tu looked up and laughed loudly.

"My husband, don't talk so much, and slander my empress dowager Zhou Ping! Hurry down to the city to fight, or this commander will seal your mouth today!" Jue Tu burst into anger, pointing at Xue Ju and scolding loudly.

"Cu Tu, you don't believe it? Come here, I respectfully ask the empress dowager to give me a lesson!" Xue Ju smiled cunningly at Qu Tu, and immediately gave orders to his subordinates. A graceful woman in a dragon and phoenix red cloak stood in front of the tower.

"Empress Dowager!" Cheng Rong looked at the city tower, and realized that the woman in auspicious clothes was indeed Baosi, but she seemed to be awake, so she closed her eyes slightly.

"Taoye, hurry up and wake up the queen mother!" Seeing that Baosi was basically asleep, Xue Jue immediately winked at the servant girl Taoye.

Immediately, Tao Ye put a small kit on the wing of Bao Si's nose, and touched Bao Si's nose slightly. After a long while, Bao Si suddenly moved her vermilion lips slightly, and her eyes became very beautiful.

"Where is this place?" Bao Si opened her eyes, frowned and stared at the person in front of her, feeling a little trembling.

"Empress Dowager, when you were sent to the membership by Lord Huagu, you were suddenly sober and unconscious because of your weakness, so the king asked the maid Taoye and other imperial physicians to help the Empress Dowager to diagnose her pulse. The fragrance of the soul, so please don't worry, the Queen Mother, if you smell this bag every day, the Queen Mother will not sleep soundly again." Xue Ju bowed his hands to Bao Si solemnly.

"King Yue, that's really strange. When did the emperor escort me to your membership? Could it be that you dare to hijack me?" Bao Si thought for a while, and suddenly her memory came back, and immediately, her bright eyes turned into angry ones.

"Empress Dowager, the king really intends to reconcile with the imperial court, so he proposed to the emperor that the queen mother marry the king. The emperor has already agreed, and you are not joking. Now the emperor specially sent Taiwei Huagu and Weihou to see off the relatives. , That is a supreme gift, this king is so in love with the Queen Mother, how could he act like a beast to hijack the Queen Mother?" Xue Ju explained to Bao Si.

"It's really nonsense, I understand that it must be Concubine Min secretly colluding with Zhu Kai, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, hijacking the Palace by despicable means, and then betraying the Palace to your Yue Kingdom under the guise of the emperor's imperial decree. Isn't it?" Bao Si was extremely intelligent, and quickly guessed that this was a conspiracy colluded by Concubine Min Gui and Xue Ju, and immediately raised her eyebrows and angrily reprimanded Xue Ju.

"Queen Mother, this king doesn't care about these things. Marquis Wei and Doctor Hua Gu solemnly sent the Queen Mother to the membership. How could your emperor not know?" Xue Ju immediately refuted Bao Si.

"Xue Ju, what do you want? I am the Empress Dowager of the Great Zhou Dynasty, how can I bend down to marry you, a Yue King? This is an act of surpassing Zhou etiquette!" Bao Si struggled to stand up with all her strength and anger.

"Queen Mother, to be honest, you are already notorious in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Just say that you and Quetu's inseparable past events have been made up and spread everywhere by villains. You have already gained notoriety. Speaking of Zhou Li, Wouldn't it be more serious than this? This king is also a bloody person. Since he has feelings for the queen mother, he will not take into account those ugly rumors. The queen mother may be a righteous princess in the Yue Kingdom, which is better than that of Da Zhou who sees the sun. The Empress Dowager Ping, whom everyone slanders, is much better!" Xue Ju tried his best to persuade Bao Si with a very sincere look.

"Xue Ju, if this is the case, then you must abide by the covenant, open the membership city, and let the army of Jutu and Cheng Rong enter the city. From then on, the Great Zhou will be unified and the people will enjoy peace. Can the King of Yue do this?" Eyebrow staring at Xue Ju.

"Queen Mother, I, the King of Yue, just recognize the Great Zhou Emperor as the master of the world. As for the princes of the world, is there any place where the princes openly open the city to let the Zhou army take over the defense? Besides, if the Zhou army really enters the city, the Queen Mother is afraid that this princess will also be in vain. !” Xue Ju laughed out loud.

"Xue Ju, you are such a despicable villain!" Bao Si gave Xue Ju a disappointed look.

At this time, under the membership city, Qudu was full of anger, watching the movement on the membership city with sad and angry eyes, almost spitting blood.

"Brother Cheng, what should we do now? The queen mother is actually in the hands of Xue Ju, should we stop attacking the membership?" Jue Tu looked at Cheng Rong with a pale face.

"Marshal can't do it. Our army's attack on membership is to rescue the queen mother. If we stop attacking now, the morale of the three armies will be depressed!" Ming Chao immediately objected.

"The generals obey the order, dig trenches, fill up the trenches, surround the membership, and stick to the camp!" Qu Tu clutched his chest in pain and waved his horsewhip.

In Luoyang City, Empress Dowager Ping disappeared overnight. The distraught emperor Shui Jian quickly found Empress Ma and discussed with her how to deal with the storm in the harem.

"Your Majesty, Concubine Min Gui must have acted recklessly in this matter. Your Majesty should find Concubine Gui!" Empress Ma said with a sad face.

"Concubine Min Gui, I ask you, did you kidnap the Queen Mother?" Shui Jian suddenly woke up, rushed into the Peony Palace angrily, glared at the trembling Concubine Min Gui, and kicked away the maid Xiner.

"Why is your majesty so angry? That's right, the Empress Dowager Ping was hijacked by someone secretly sent by a concubine, and then sent to Zhu Kai, the envoy of the Yue Kingdom, and then Marquis Wei and Master Hua led their troops to the south, made a phoenix chariot and sent it to the Yue Kingdom! Concubine Min Gui said boldly with her eyes full of affection.

"You are so brave, you dare not report to me, colluded with the envoys of the Yue Kingdom without authorization, and sent the Queen Mother to the Yue Kingdom to make peace with the imperial decree. Where is it placed?" Shui Jian was furious immediately, and scolded Concubine Min Gui sharply.

"Your Majesty, don't the concubines share the Lord's worries?" Concubine Min Gui suddenly changed the topic and said tactfully.

"What do you mean? Do you want to trap me in inhumanity and let the people criticize you?" Shui Jian glared at Concubine Min Gui angrily, and asked sharply.

"Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager Ping was originally a young widow. After all these years, she stayed in the palace and kept criticizing the government. In addition, the scandals between her and Judu are now widely known by rumors. It's a shame, what qualifications does such a woman have to stay in the palace as a queen? The emperor still swallows his anger and calls her queen mother every day? What I can't let go of in this palace is the unborn flesh and blood of the concubine and the emperor. The concubine is afraid every day that one day the queen mother and Jutu will unite inside and outside to seize the emperor's dragon throne. At that time, the concubine will have nothing, so the concubine is afraid that the emperor will not be able to do this murderous thing, so she will replace the emperor herself Done! If the world scolds, just scold the concubine alone!" Concubine Min Gui cried like pear blossoms in the rain, and fell into Shui Jian's arms, crying loudly.

"Hey, Aiqing, I'm also afraid that the ministers in the court will rebel against it, but since the Queen Mother is out of the palace to get married and get married, and the news spreads, isn't the whole world aware of this scandal? How majestic is my Great Zhou?" Shui Jianchang sighed, helped Concubine Min Gui and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, we simply officially mourned the Empress Dowager Ping and announced to the world that the Empress Dowager Ping had passed away. Anyway, the certificate was about to be praised, and we sent it. He was too embarrassed to send troops to attack. To be her concubine of Yue Wang, the emperor will be happy that there will be no future troubles!" Concubine Min Gui turned her phoenix eyes, and spoke a few sweet words into Shui Jian's ear.

In Huiji City, Que Tu had been staring angrily at the top of the city, seeing Baosi being entangled by Xue Ju, and feeling pain in his heart, Cheng Rong saw Qu Tu's anger could not be calmed down, and immediately persuaded Qu Tu, saying: "Qu Tu, now Xue Ju has taken over The queen mother has threatened us as a hostage, even if we attack, if we hurt the queen mother, it will be a defeat, but you must not be impatient, the queen mother was hijacked by Xue Ju, it must be those traitors who did it, we sent troops to attack the membership, Under the banner of rescuing the Empress Dowager and returning to Beijing, the people will definitely support her!"

"Brother Cheng, but how should we save the Empress Dowager?" Que Tu asked anxiously.

"Quitu, our army surrounded Guiji and temporarily agreed to negotiate peace with Xue Ju, but we want to participate in the wedding ceremony between him and the Queen Mother, so Xue Ju must open the gates of the city wide and let us enter the city, so that we can take advantage of the opportunity Save the empress dowager!" Cheng Rong suggested to Qu Tu.

The next day when he joined the palace, Xue Ju received a congratulatory form jointly signed by Que Tu and Cheng Rongming, expressing his congratulations on the Queen Mother's marriage to the King of Yue. They decided to withdraw their troops and return to Luoyang. The super general asked to participate in the wedding ceremony of the King of Yue.

"Hahaha, Que Tu finally let go. It seems that the kid from Shuijian must have passed the imperial decree. Well, if Que Tu and Cheng Rong Mingchao will take a few guards to attend the big wedding alone, the king can agree. Welcome at the city gate!" The King of Yue stroked his beard and said happily.

"Your Majesty, is it fraudulent for the three of Cheng Rong, Mingchao and others to enter the city alone?" Zhu Kai asked worriedly.

"Zhu Kai, even if the three of them are world-class in martial arts, they will not be able to cause trouble in the city. If this king has the opportunity, he can also take the opportunity to detain them in the Yue Kingdom. The Zhou army has no commander, so it will be even more impossible to attack the city! "Xue Ju suddenly laughed arrogantly.

The wedding room.In Baosi's ears, the deliberate humiliation and cursing voices of the concubine's palace servants could be heard from time to time, which made her heart feel like a knife, and her tears flowed down like rain. He quickly stepped forward and comforted her softly: "Your Majesty, oh, this servant has made a slip of the tongue, you will soon be the princess. As the king's official wife, wouldn't that be a hundred times better than being a widow alone in Luoyang Palace, so this servant advises your empress to take good care of her?" Keep your body in place, after all, your body is the most important thing."

Bao Si frowned and stared at Tao Ye, and suddenly found some wounds on Tao Ye's face, she couldn't help but cherish: "Tao Ye, did someone abuse you just now?"

"Your Majesty, it's all right. The steward thought the servant was not serving your Majesty well, so he killed her." Tao Ye said sadly.

Bao Si sympathetically said, "Taoye, I know that the King of Yue is not a good person. He often bullies men and women and abuses the people. I'm afraid you were also captured by the Yue army?"

"Thank you for your concern, Ma'am. To be honest, the servant is the family that killed the servant in Huainan when the Vietnamese army invaded the north, and then arrested the servant here." Taoye was touched by grief and couldn't help crying.

"Taoye, I know that you are also committed to the Vietnamese army, but you have to think about it, if the imperial army unified the Yue country, then there would be no wars from now on, the people can live and work in peace, and you can go back to your hometown to find your relatives , so for the sake of everyone, you should not force me." Bao Si smiled leisurely at Tao Ye.

"Your Majesty, this servant is also a person who understands righteousness, but it may be too dangerous for Your Majesty to escape from this devil's cave." Taoye said worriedly.

"Taoye, good girl, you just need to give me some anesthetic, as long as I faint, someone will come to rescue me."
