Investiture of the Gods
This little eunuch was Xue Pinggui's man, but looking at his fearful expression,
Siyang felt that..,
Xue Pinggui's acting was probably too good,
He had deceived most of the people. Those who didn't know would think that he was favored.
Perhaps there was a fact that no one noticed,
Ever since Xue Pinggui and Wang Baochuan reunited,
They didn't have any marital life.
It could be seen that in the face of Wang Baochuan's deteriorating appearance, even Xue Pinggui, who boasted that he was deeply in love with her, couldn't do it.
Moreover, there was Princess Tuozan, who was like a delicate flower, beside her.
"What are you talking about,
The Imperial Garden is so big,
It's not just me who's here,
It's not a disturbance. " Siyang sat still and said to the little eunuch, "You're His Majesty's man. I think His Majesty wants to see this Wangye.
If you have an errand, it's better to go as soon as possible. "
The little eunuch was indeed anxious. He sighed when he heard that,
He got up from the ground, "This servant will take his leave."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and said to the person beside him, "Wangye, let's go,
Don't keep His Majesty waiting. "
That person didn't say anything else,
He just cupped his hands and nodded in the direction of Siyang from afar, indicating that he wanted to leave.
"Wangye, take care."
Until the figure disappeared,
Siyang held her chin and muttered to herself, "Which Wangye is this?"
Xue Pinggui didn't have any brothers or sisters,
This definitely didn't have anything to do with him.
"Miss,
That's the Runan Of Gojoseon. "
Sure enough, Cui 'er didn't disappoint Siyang.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon is …" Cui 'er raised her finger and pointed to the sky. Seeing that there were no outsiders around, she leaned closer to Siyang and whispered, "He is the former emperor's younger brother."
The previous emperor here was the one who had his throne stolen by Xue Pinggui, and he had dug his own grave. In that case, the person just now was really Wangye.
"I've heard that this Wangye was bestowed the title of King early on, bestowed with a fief, and lived as an idle Wangye in Runan." Cui 'er began to sympathize with him. "Speaking of which, he's quite unlucky. All of a sudden … he almost became a commoner from Wangye."
Almost. That meant that there was none.
"His Majesty has ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the people. The Runan Of Gojoseon's title has been returned to him, but now he can only stay in the capital as an idle king."
"So that's how it is."
In one night, the people under the heavens had changed. His title of Wangye was worthless, his fief was gone, and he could only stay in the capital as an idle Wangye for the rest of his life. He had to behave himself with his tail between his legs. It was no wonder that he was a bit reserved when he saw her, the Empress.
However, she seemed to have discovered something else interesting.
After strolling around the Imperial Garden for a while, Siyang leisurely returned to her bedroom. Her leisurely appearance made Cui 'er a bit anxious. She didn't know what her Miss was planning.
"Look, look, Aya." Tuozan gripped the handkerchief in her hand so hard that it was almost deformed. Her eyes were red as she shouted, "You said that everything was going according to plan. But now, Wang Baochuan is still alive and well. She doesn't look like a dying person at all."
Tuozan had always sent people to keep an eye on the Empress's bedroom. So when she knew that she had left the bedroom and came to the Imperial Garden, she immediately rushed over with people. She wanted to meet Wang Baochuan directly, but she was stopped by Aya, who was beside her. In the end, she chose to watch from a high place.
With one look, Hawksbill Zan's heart burned with anxiety.
She had just said that Wang Baochuan wouldn't live for more than a few days. In the blink of an eye, she not only looked better, but also had the energy to stroll around. It seemed that it was only a matter of time before she recovered.
"This … I don't know." Seeing the situation, Aya also couldn't figure it out, "I have sent people to keep an eye on her every day. She did take all the medicine, but now … it seems that it has no effect."
Tuozan's expression twisted for a moment. Wang Baochuan had stayed in the back seat for a day. It made her feel as if she was being roasted by fire.
"The medicine has no effect?"
Aya looked at Tuozan like this and was very troubled. Suddenly, her face changed, "Could it be …"
"Who is it?" Suddenly, Tuozan stared at her. Her eyes were bright red. She hadn't slept well for a day.
"… Could it be His Majesty?" Aya's first thought was Xue Pinggui. Because she knew that he had done something to Wang Baochuan's medicine, she stopped. But now that Wang Baochuan was gradually getting better, it was thought-provoking.
"Could it be that he can't bear to part with her?" In an instant, Tuozan bit her lips so hard that it almost drew blood. Her eyes were deep and serene.
Night.
The entire palace had entered a deep sleep. Only the patrolling soldiers passing by let people know that this was a heavily guarded palace.
In the large palace of the Empress, there was only a small palace maid on night watch in the small courtyard outside. She was still dozing off with her arms crossed. A vigorous figure rushed in, but no one noticed.
The door of the sleeping chamber was pushed open and then closed. It was quiet inside. Darkness shrouded everything, but the intruder seemed to have night vision. He only vaguely recognized the interior of the sleeping chamber. He stared at the big bed inside and slowly approached step by step.
It was quiet all around. Danger was slowly approaching.
A bright blade silently lifted the curtain hanging on the bed. The quilt inside was pulled up. The blade turned and the silver light flashed. The eyes that were covered by the black cloth were murderous.
Puchi.
The knife stabbed into the middle of the bed without hesitation. It pierced through the quilt. After two stabs, he suddenly felt that something was wrong. His eyes changed and he turned to leave.
"Too late."
Suddenly, a voice came from a corner in the darkness. Immediately after, the black figure nimbly turned his body. When he wanted to escape, he heard a gust of wind. The black figure wanted to dodge, but the wind came too fast. He couldn't dodge.
"Ah!"
The scream was particularly loud in the palace. At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. Instantly, the people in the palace were awakened. When did the lights come on?
The candlesticks were lit. A hand picked them up and walked step by step to the person lying on the ground.
That person was already unable to move. He groaned in pain.
The territory of the Central Plains was vast, and now he had a strong army under his command. He wanted to intimidate the foreign states and vassal states, and to show off his national prestige, so that he could sit firmly on the throne of the newly appointed emperor. All these were naturally necessary.
In this banquet, the emperor and empress were one. Of course, they had to go in and out together.
Looking at the newly made luxurious phoenix robe, it was no wonder that Tuozan was so anxious about Wang Baochuan's death.
If Wang Baochuan didn't die, how could she give up the throne? This kind of banquet was rare in one's life. It represented the highest authority and supreme splendor. Thinking about it, it should have been her. But she could only watch it. The proud Tuozan couldn't bear it.
"This phoenix robe is really beautiful." After the robe was delivered, Cui 'er's eyes didn't leave it. She didn't study and couldn't describe it well. After tossing and turning, she could only use the word "beautiful".
Leisurely painting her manicured nails, Siyang only glanced at it briefly before looking away.
"It was made according to the dragon robe. This is inevitable."
"Young Miss, quickly try it on. It will definitely look good on you." Cui 'er touched it carefully. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Siyang expectantly.
After she finished painting the last nail, the little palace maid kneeling beside her carefully fanned her with her hand.
Siyang was sitting on the couch and talking when footsteps came from outside the bedchamber. She raised her eyebrows. In the next moment, a familiar figure appeared. She was dressed gorgeously and her accessories jingled as she walked.
Tuozan walked in with a cold and bright face.
At a glance, she saw the phoenix robe on the table. The golden red color of the phoenix robe was too eye-catching. It was hard not to notice it.
Seeing this, her face immediately turned ugly.
"Younger Sister, how come you have time to visit Elder Sister?" Siyang smiled but didn't get up to greet her.
Elder Sister? Was she worthy?
Tuozan's eyes were ice cold. She had never considered Wang Baochuan to be a good sister. Those so-called elder and younger sisters were just for show. At the time, she thought that since this woman wouldn't live for long, taking advantage of her could be considered accumulating some good karma.
Unexpectedly, not only did this person not die, she was living more and more freely. Look at her now.
"Phoenix robe." Tuozan's hand stroked the exquisitely embroidered robe. Flames danced in her eyes.
"That's right. It's the phoenix robe that was newly made for this consort."
Siyang got up from the couch and walked over to casually shake open the robe. The bright red robe had a phoenix embroidered on it with golden thread. Its wings were spread wide and the feathers of the phoenix were dazzling.
"Does it look good?" Siyang unfolded the robe in front of Tuozan's eyes and looked at her with a smile.
Tuozan's hands clenched tightly. She loosened them and clenched them again. However, even if Tuozan wanted to deceive herself, she couldn't. Wang Baochuan was clearly provoking her.
"Are you very pleased with yourself?" Tuozan glared angrily at Siyang. She gritted her teeth and squeezed out these words.
"Hm?" Siyang hesitated slightly and raised her eyebrows with a half smile: "Younger Sister, how can you say that? What's there to be pleased about? Isn't this this consort's robe?"
"You actually dare to call yourself that in front of this consort." Finally, Tuozan couldn't hold back any longer. Endless resentment appeared between her brows. She took a step forward and fiercely grabbed the phoenix robe in Siyang's hands. She suppressed her anger and hatred: "You're just a small commoner girl. This consort is the Honorable Princess of Xiliang. This consort is giving you some face by calling you Older Sister. Do you really think you're the Empress?"
Cui 'er couldn't see this and hurriedly stepped forward: "Little …"
Siyang calmly raised her hand to stop her. During this period of time, Cui 'er had been taught to be exceptionally obedient. When she saw this, even though she was anxious, she still stopped in her tracks.
Siyang's gaze calmly met Tuozan's seething eyes. Her expression was calm as she lowered her head to look at the hand on the phoenix robe. She used so much force that the robe wrinkled and changed its shape. She frowned slightly. She also had to wear this robe in front of others.
"Younger Sister, you're from Xiliang. Older Sister understands, but I still want to give you a good lesson."
