concubines

Chapter 88 It's All Fake
Tired of traveling all the way, the eldest princess also wants to go back and have a good rest.But it's already the emperor's deadline for Miaoli, she really can't let Miaoli take a little risk.

The emperor has not given up yet, she has to solve the problem fundamentally.

She didn't know what she was possessed by, as if she really regarded Miaoli as her daughter.If she got married at the age of other princesses, the child would probably be about the same age as Miao Li.

The eldest princess who always regarded herself as a man thought for the first time what her child would look like.Although she is more beautiful than Shang Miaoli, she must be smart.

In Baoji Hall, a young Taoist priest was sweeping the floor outside, and the smoke from the incense burner rose up.The layout here should have taken a lot of effort, forcibly arranging the palace into a Taoist temple.

In the hall, an old white-haired Taoist priest is meditating.Pretentious, it really has that kind of meaning.

It seemed that this was the person she was looking for. The eldest princess walked over a few steps, but was stopped before she got close.

He was a black-haired old man, and his status was not low by the looks of it. When he saw her, he asked without shame: "My Taoist priest is meditating. I don't know why the nobleman came?"

There are still people in the world who don't know her, it's amazing.

The eldest princess touched the sword at her waist, and said lightly: "Give you a chance, figure out who I am?"

The old black-haired Taoist showed embarrassment, "This..."

The eldest princess drew the sword quickly and put it on his neck, "If you can't figure it out today, I will let your head fall to the ground."

The black-haired old man looked back for help, the white-haired old man who was meditating slowly opened his eyes, stood up and came over calmly, and made a bow to the eldest princess, "The poor man has seen the eldest princess Your Highness, this is a pure land boundary, Your Highness should take back the sword first."

The eldest princess sneered, reluctantly gave him some face, and put the sword back into its sheath.It's not unusual to figure it out, she is the only woman in the whole country who can bring weapons into the palace.

The eldest princess looked the Taoist up and down a few times, "It seems that there is an evil spirit. Is it your divination for the emperor?"

The old Taoist said without a trace of humility: "It is the poor Taoist."

The eldest princess looked him up and down, "Excellent, I can figure out where the phoenix is. Then you figure out what this palace is?"

The old Taoist expression remained unchanged, "Your Highness is Princess Wang Ji, so of course it is Phoenix."

The eldest princess pretended to be satisfied and nodded, and said: "How about when I will be able to be a dragon and a phoenix?"

The old Taoist opened his eyes, looked her around carefully, and asked, "Does Your Highness want to listen to the truth or lies?"

"Anyway, I don't want to listen to nonsense."

"There is no real dragon, only a fake dragon."

The eldest princess's heart moved, this old guy seemed to be really capable, and let him talk about it.But he had to die without saying anything.It's not like he's incompetent, damn it.Having said that, he knows all these secret things, so he deserves to die.It's a two-headed transaction.

The Eldest Princess' complexion did not change at all, and she asked, "What is the basis?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

Forget it, she didn't come here today for fortune-telling.Hurry up and finish the business, go back and get a good night's sleep.

"Don't talk about that, tell me how you helped the emperor figure out the phoenix?"

"The secret cannot be leaked."

The eldest princess sneered, "You are a little shameless now, don't reveal anything, who knows if you are just guessing."

The old Taoist still put on airs and said: "The poor Taoist has practiced Taoism for many years, and he can already know a little bit about the secrets of heaven. He has his own basis, and he can't tell His Highness."

The eldest princess lost her patience, she held her face and said sharply: "Whether it is a secret or man-made, you'd better explain it honestly. Otherwise, I will know who you are, and this sword of this palace will not know who you are."

She doesn't believe in secrets.She has already found out the origins of these monsters, they are wandering Taoists led to the emperor by the purchasing eunuchs in the palace.To be able to speak in front of the emperor so quickly, it is impossible for no one to push behind.

"Pindao is telling the truth."

"Heh" the eldest princess gave him a contemptuous look, "You slandered the emperor in his ear, wanting him to ruin the relationship between people and the court, and what you told me was the truth. I see that you have an evil spirit, are you really a god? gone?"

The old Taoist still straightened his back, without any feeling of fear, and even uttered wild words, "The poor Taoist is still inexperienced, I dare not call myself a god, I can only be half a god."

"The body of a half-immortal." The eldest princess nodded, "Since you have the body of a half-immortal, naturally you are not afraid of life and death." The eldest princess stretched out the sword from her waist again, and put it on the old man's neck, "It's better to let me try."

A trace of fear finally appeared on the old Taoist's face, he took a step back and said, "Your Highness, don't act impulsively. Killing people in such a quiet place will damage your highness's blessing."

The eldest princess smiled, "You are talking nonsense, I am not killing people, I am going to kill gods."

The eldest princess raised the sword and landed, and the human head rolled for a long distance. The whole movement was like flowing clouds and flowing water, without any sloppiness.

The black-haired man next to him was so frightened that he squatted down and fell directly to the ground.

The eldest princess dragged her sword over and asked plainly: "It's your turn, are you going to tell the truth?"

The old Taoist was so frightened that he almost peed, knelt down and kowtowed non-stop, "I'm telling the truth, I'm telling the truth. What kind of phoenix, it was the nobles in the palace who asked us to say so."

Sure enough, there are so many people in the world who don't know how to calculate such hexagrams.There are only people who don't know how to live or die, and work hard for others.

"Which noble?"

"I don't know either. Every time she comes, she is received by the Taoist priest himself."

The eldest princess shook the sword in her hand, "If you think about it carefully, if you come up with any useful news, maybe I won't kill you. Do you need this opportunity?"

"Yes, I want." The black-haired old man racked his brains and thought, "Yes... I remember, she once said that if there is anything important, go to Yuhua Palace to find her."

Yuhua Palace?
The eldest princess withdrew her sword. There are so many people who don't know how to die, there are so many people who are forgiving, and there are especially many brave people.

Concubine Xia, Xia's aunt lives in Yuhua Palace now.

That woman is not a good person like Xia Shi, she has a mean face.It is estimated that Qin Wang and Miao Li were blamed for the ugliness of being deprived of titles, so they set up a plan to kill them.

The eldest princess was holding a sword and was going to ask Concubine Xia for clarification, when she heard a voice from outside: "The emperor is here."

The emperor just wanted to rest for a while, but he received a report saying that the eldest princess was making a fuss in the Baoji Palace, so he hurried over.It was too late, and when I entered the door, I saw the bloody scene of the corpse's head being separated.

The emperor was trembling with anger and stammered, "Zhuang Ding, you... how can you... kill the Taoist priest?"

The eldest princess looked over calmly, "A monster, if you kill him, you will kill him. Why does the emperor feel distressed?"

The emperor flickered, with regret and distress on his face, he shouted, "He is a god, you killed the god and offended the god." The emperor said heartbroken, "You have committed a crime!"

The eldest princess really wanted to slap this stupid king awake, so she held back the anger in her heart and said, "The emperor is the son of heaven, so why be afraid of some god. Besides, he is not a god at all." The eldest princess brought the old man over from the ground, He threw it on the ground and kicked it and said, "Tell the emperor, what are you?"

"Back to the emperor, we are Taoist priests of Qingfeng Road in Zhili. We violated the canon and were kicked out. We had nowhere to go, so we went to the capital. When we were setting up a stall in the capital for fortune-telling, we were invited into the palace by the eunuchs in the palace. We are not gods at all. .”

As if the sky was falling apart, the emperor asked in disbelief: "Then you said that the prince has ascended to the Nine Heavens and was accepted as an apprentice by Tianzun..."

The princess's sword was shining brightly in front of his eyes. The old Taoist was trembling with fright, and honestly confessed, "It's all fake."

The emperor bent down and asked: "The phoenix in Prince Qin's mansion can pass the fortune of the country, is that also fake?"

"It's also a lie. It's what the nobleman in Yuhua Palace told us to say. She seems to have a grudge against King Qin."

The emperor stood up slowly, and looked at the eldest princess in disbelief.

The eldest princess turned her face away as it had nothing to do with her. Now let's see what she can do.Why didn't you think of her when you were doing something stupid?

The emperor clutched his heart, staggered, and almost couldn't stand still. He shook his hands and asked again: "Then those pills that prolong life..."

The old Taoist wiped the sweat off his brow, since he had already confessed, he might as well confess everything, at worst it would be a dead end. "It's all fake. Some of them are not only useless to the body, but even damage the dragon's body."

The emperor couldn't catch his breath, he clutched his heart and fainted on the spot, the maid and eunuch hurriedly called the imperial doctor.

In Prince Qin's mansion, seeing an old man again, and an old man with whom he had a deep hatred, Zhou Shuxuan had various feelings intertwined in his heart.

Xia's eyebrows were lowered and she knelt at his feet, she didn't have half the demeanor of being a princess back then.

Do not live by committing sins.

Zhou Shuxuan looked at her, suppressed all the feelings in his heart, and asked with a little sarcasm: "Aren't you always eloquent? How does it feel to return to the old place?"

The Xia family stayed in the clan's mansion for a few months, and it is no longer the Xia family it was back then.In addition, the emperor has condemned her to death, these days are the days to kill.Zhou Shuxuan rescued her, perhaps to give her a way out.

Xia Shi knelt, not daring to lift her head, "The prince is so kind and virtuous, I dare not say anything."

Zhou Shuxuan's head was filled with the Xia family from the past, and the noise was annoying and disgusting, which once became his lingering nightmare.

Zhou Shuxuan said with emotion: "If you had said less before, this king might not have been so unfeeling to you."

Xia Shi trembled, she thought that Zhou was trying to save her, but the meaning of these words was to make her life worse than death.

The Xia clan crawled on the ground, as humble as dust, "My lord, I know my mistakes, I will definitely change my past, as long as my lord gives me a way to survive."

"It's not impossible to let you live, but I don't support useless people, especially useless people like you who have done all kinds of bad things."

If it weren't for her extraordinary talent in gunpowder, he really wanted to take a knife and cut off her flesh bit by bit.

"As long as the prince orders, the concubine will die with swords and flames."

A hated person is a hated person, and flattery is also hated.Zhou Shuxuan felt uncomfortable hearing her say a word, so he threw a picture to her.

"Can you do this?"

Mrs. Xia picked up the drawing and saw that it was a foreign black gun.
