The Legend of the Weaver Girl in Search of the Gods
"Haha." Nine-tailed Fox laughed.
She took two steps forward.
She looked at Siyang mockingly, "You should know very well that your sister will not come back.
Look at how you were bullied. Did your sister stand up for you? "
"Don't say that your sister is too busy serving the King.
Others can come, but she can't. She clearly doesn't want to see you. I don't know where she forgot about her sister. "
"Shut up." Siyang impulsively ran out from behind the pillar, as if she had been hit where it hurt.
She looked at Nine-tailed Fox face to face and shouted, "My sister and I are of the same mother. We are sisters and have never been separated since we were young. Now that I am in trouble, she won't leave me alone. It's just that … she has to serve the King.
I am in the cold palace.
She can't take care of me right now. "
As if trying to convince herself, Si Yang was still nodding her head hard.
She seemed to be even more convinced.
"Sigh." She shook her head and sighed.
Nine-tailed Fox looked at her with pity, "You look so pitiful.
You still haven't recognized the truth.
Or rather … "She lowered her head and approached Siyang.
Nine-tailed Fox spat at her frivolously, "… You only want to deceive yourself."
"Stop talking." She clenched her fists.
Siyang screamed and closed her eyes. Her eyelashes trembled and tears fell. Her beautiful face was filled with sadness, as if Nine-tailed Fox had hit the nail on the head.
Nine-tailed Fox's goal was achieved. She saw Siyang's mental breakdown and her eyes flashed. Her enchanting face was full of self-satisfaction.
She really couldn't wait any longer. She couldn't wait to get this body. She didn't want to wait any longer. She might as well do it herself.
"How is it? You don't want to spend the rest of your life in this cold palace. Do you want me to help you?"
"Who are you?" Opening his eyes, Siyang had already regained his composure. However, there was still a trace of sadness in the depths of his eyes.
"It doesn't matter who I am. All you need to know is that I can help you get out of here and regain King Zhou's favor," Nine-tailed Fox looked more and more satisfied as she walked around Siyang, and her smile became more sincere.
"Why are you helping me?" Turning around, Siyang raised her chin and looked at her with suspicion and wariness in her eyes. "Even if I'm young, I understand that there's nothing in this world for free, and there's no help for no reason. What do you want? Or rather, what do you want? "
Nine-tailed Fox thought to herself that the 'body' she fancied still had some brains. She then turned around as if nothing had happened and said, "I've already said that I only want to help you out because you're pitiful. If you don't feel at ease, then pretend that I've never been here and you can continue to stay in the cold palace."
"Then you can leave," Siyang said coldly as she stared at her back.
"You …" Nine-tailed Fox clearly didn't expect that she would get such a result after laying the groundwork for such a long time. She turned her head and pointed at Siyang. "You're such a good-for-nothing."
"I'm offering myself to the king for the sake of the people of Ji Province. Since I can't win the king's favor, at least father and Ji Province are safe. Daji doesn't want to cause any more trouble. As for my sister … that's her good fortune."
"As expected, you're a good-for-nothing. I thought you were a promising talent."
Siyang was unmoved. "Your Excellency appears and disappears like a ghost, yet you're unwilling to tell me your name and origin. How can Daji believe you? After all … even my closest sister betrayed me. Is there anyone in this world worth trusting?"
Nine-tailed Fox was originally in a rage, but Siyang's following words made her ponder.
Looking at the sad disappointment on her face, she couldn't help but smile.
How was she unwilling to help? It looked like she was hurt too deeply.
"Fine." It wasn't good to push her too hard in this situation. Nine-tailed Fox muttered to herself for a moment, then snorted. "Think about it carefully. I'm doing this for your own good. Everything is in your hands. It's up to you to choose."
"Hahaha …" After a few laughs, a gust of wind blew, causing the windows and doors to flap. The wind squinted. Siyang raised her sleeve to block it. After a while, the wind gradually stopped.
By the time he put down his hand, the nine-tailed fox in the hall had already disappeared.
"Pretending to be mysterious."
Nine-tailed Fox could come without a sound, so naturally, she could also leave without a sound. The reason she did all this was for Siyang to see. It was to show her strength so that she would trust her more.
Siyang's previous actions were only to appease Nine-tailed Fox temporarily. This fox spirit couldn't hold back and wanted to steal her body. If she resisted, it would be unwise. Right now, she still had to wait for Bo Yikao to bring the things in. Therefore, it was better to fool her first and let Nine-tailed Fox think that she was moved.
Nine-tailed Fox must be eliminated. Even if she couldn't take her life, she must make sure that she wouldn't bother her anymore. At the same time, Siyang was also preparing to leave the palace.
It was actually not difficult to leave the palace. Yingxiang Palace was already comparable to the Cold Palace. How many people would care if there was one less guilty concubine in the palace? As for how to leave, Siyang didn't want to ask Bo Yikao for help. It was more dangerous. Ji Chang was still in Zhaoge. If he found out about her, it would be bad.
That old man almost treated Daji as an evil spirit. If he knew that his son was close to her, he would be more furious. If Bo Yikao wanted to take her back, he would be worried that his Xiqi would be destroyed.
To be honest, Siyang really wanted to disgust him. But after thinking about it, she didn't want to suffer. It was better to be free.
When Bo Yikao entered the palace again, it was evening. The sun was about to set, reflecting the red clouds all over the sky. Looking from the lotus pond, it was so beautiful.
Siyang gave some of Daji's jewelry to the eunuch who was guarding the palace. She was allowed to stay by the lotus pond outside Yingxiang Palace for a while. Leaning against the railing, she stood facing the lake. The breeze blew her hair and blurred the emotions in her eyes.
The sun was setting in the west, lotus flowers and leaves … Beauty. The scenery was beautiful, and the person was even more beautiful. She was so beautiful like a painting that people couldn't bear to disturb her.
"You're here." Siyang heard the footsteps.
Bo Yikao came back to his senses. He lowered his eyelids to hide the admiration in his eyes. He coughed softly and said, "Bo Yikao didn't disappoint you."
Siyang looked at Bo Yikao. The young master in white was tall and slender. His eyes were bright and clear. He was indeed worthy of being the young master of a noble family. This kind of Bo Yikao was the one who made Daji's heart move the most.
At this time, he was holding a long wooden box in his hand. The things inside were what Siyang needed.
"Your Highness, you've helped Daji a lot." Siyang took the long wooden box and reached out to support it. She smiled and said to him, "This time, Daji owes you a favor."
"Don't, don't say that." Bo Yikao hurriedly waved his hand, "Bo Yikao doesn't deserve it. Your situation is related to my Ji family. As long as I can do it, I am willing to compensate you."
Siyang knew what he meant. However, Ji Chang was stubborn. There was no need for him to vent his anger on Bo Yikao.
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I need Shizi's help with."
"Say it." Bo Yikao agreed without thinking.
"I want you to pass a message to my sister. I want to see her." Her sister was Clove. The two sisters entered the palace together. In the end, they had completely different experiences.
When he heard this, Bo Yikao relaxed and smiled, "This is not a problem. I was originally your guqin teacher. I can use this as an excuse to see the other Consort Su. I will definitely pass the message."
"Please make sure she comes to see me." Siyang urged.
Bo Yikao also promised again and again.
It was getting late, and the sun had finally set. The world was dark, and there were already lanterns in the distance. Bo Yikao had to leave the palace as soon as possible, and Si Yang had to return to the Palace of Fragrance. After crossing the threshold, the corner door was about to close. She hesitated for a moment and turned back.
"Bo Yikao."
The man in white who was watching her from outside paused.
Bo Yikao was stunned. He smiled, "This is the first time you called my name."
Siyang looked at him calmly.
The two of them stared at each other in silence.
"I just want to tell you that no matter what happens in the palace in the future, you should leave Zhaoge as soon as possible. Go back to your Xiqi and persuade your stubborn father."
Bo Yikao didn't know why Siyang said this to him. But these were her words. He listened carefully. After a moment, he nodded slightly, "Thank you for telling me. Bo Yikao will think about it carefully."
This time, there was no longer any reluctance. Si Yang quickly entered the inner hall, and the corner door gradually separated the two figures.
After this separation, it might be difficult to see each other again.
Daji was banished to the Cold Palace. In fact, she wasn't sad or scared. She had no feelings for King Zhou. Because of her shallow knowledge, she didn't have much concept of wealth and power. The only thing that made her sad was that her sister Clove didn't care about her.
They once entered the palace together and swore that no matter who King Zhou favored, the other couldn't ignore the other. But later, Clove broke her promise.
Ever since Daji was locked up in Yingxiang Palace, Nine-tailed Fox had never come to see her. When the people in the palace bullied and insulted Daji, Nine-tailed Fox had never seen Nine-tailed Fox protect her sister. Not to mention coming personally, Nine-tailed Fox did not even send someone to deliver a gift. It was no wonder that Nine-tailed Fox would bring this up.
Daji once said that she and Ning Xiang ate and ate together, and there was no distinction between them. Actually, to be honest, it was just that Daji could not leave her younger sister, Ning Xiang. She had been locked up at home since she was young, and only her younger sister could accompany her. That was another form of sustenance.
If she wasn't forced into a desperate situation, Daji wouldn't have asked a tiger for its skin. She believed that Nine-tailed Fox of unknown origin would eventually ruin everything.
But in the end, she was her sister. If Siyang left the palace, the three demons of the Xuan Yuan Tomb would continue to cause trouble in Zhaoge in order to complete the mission given by Lady Nuwa. Clove would also be in danger here.
The weather was cold, and all the necessities in the Jade Earth Palace had been restocked. Now, everyone's eyes were on Si Yang's stomach.
If this child was a prince, it would be fine. But if it wasn't, there would be more twists and turns.
"I wonder how the war is now?" Cui'er added charcoal to the gilded stove in the hall. She looked at Siyang who was lying on the soft couch and reading a book leisurely. She shook her head and went to tuck in the blanket covering her. "Miss, you're not worried."
"Worried about what?" Siyang said indifferently as she turned a page of the book.
"Of course I'm worried about the Runan Of Gojoseon. He is now the Deputy General. The report from the border said that he lost the first battle. I don't know how the situation is now. If the Xiliang Army wins, what should we do?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm sure he already has a plan for the border." Si Yang said with a smile after listening.
Cui'er was stunned. Then, she said with realization, "Could it be that Miss and Wangye have discussed this?"
Si Yang closed her book and sat up. The corners of her mouth twitched unhappily. She snorted, "He's very capable. He doesn't need to discuss with me."
Cui'er lowered her head carefully and stuck out her tongue. She saw that Miss was indifferent to the Runan Of Gojoseon. She thought that they were just doing a deal. Now, it seemed that she cared about him.
"His Highness is just worried that Miss will worry about him while you are pregnant. You won't be able to take care of the fetus." For the sake of their future, Cui 'er tried her best to put in a good word for Li Yi.
Siyang glanced at Cui'er from the corner of her eyes. She didn't expose her thoughts. She looked around the bedroom and saw the little palace maid standing by the side. "Is there any movement in the West Palace?"
Although Tuozan was locked up, Siyang was still worried about her. She was the princess of Xiliang and the only royal family of Xiliang. The people of Xiliang would definitely not leave her alone.
"Your Highness, there are no other movements." The little palace maid knelt down and answered.
"Tuozan is so well-behaved?" Siyang didn't believe it.
The little palace maid thought for a while and said, "A palace maid in the West Palace has been making a fuss because the food is not to her taste. Today, she said that the one in the West Palace is sick and wants the imperial doctor to treat her."
"A palace maid?" The first person Si Yang thought of was Aya, the maid by Bin Zan's side. She frowned and pondered for a moment before ordering, "Call the commander of the imperial guards to see ben gong."
With Xue Pinggui's illness, a lot of power had been seized by Si Yang. Now, not only the imperial harem, but also the important ministers of the previous dynasty had urgent matters. It was much more useful to look for her, the empress, than for Xue Pinggui.
On New Year's Eve, because of the war, the palace didn't hold a banquet for the officials.
Siyang came to Ganlu Palace with her big belly. Xue Pinggui was still the Emperor. As the Empress, she naturally had to spend the New Year with him.
"It's so cold outside. Why are you here … cough, cough." Xue Pinggui was quite happy to see Siyang, but before he could finish his sentence, he covered his mouth and coughed nonstop.
Seeing him again this time, he was even more haggard than the last time. His appearance was really familiar. It was just like when Siyang first came. At that time, Wang Baochuan was just like this.
Retribution really didn't feel good.
Ganlu Palace had been ordered to set up a table of good New Year's Eve dinner.
"Your Majesty's health is important. Chenqie's suffering from the cold is nothing." Siyang went forward to help Xue Pinggui sit down at the table.
"Ah, zhen's health …"
"The imperial physician said that Your Majesty should rest well. Naturally, you will recover soon." Interrupting him, Siyang filled the cup in front of him with wine. With a faint smile on her lips, she advised, "Today is the last day of the New Year. Next year will be even better. All of the bad luck will pass. Isn't that right, Your Majesty?"
Looking at the wine in the cup, Xue Pinggui sighed. In the end, he nodded heavily, "Baochuan, you're right. Next year will be even better. Today, you and I, husband and wife, will have a good New Year." Saying this, he raised the cup and tilted his head back to pour the wine into his mouth.
"Cough, cough …" Drinking too quickly, Xue Pinggui spat out wine and coughed again.
"Your Majesty, drink slowly …" Siyang patted his back with concern.
And just at this time, the door of the Sweet Dew Hall was suddenly pushed open heavily, the sound was so loud that everyone in the hall looked over in shock, only to discover that outside the wide open door of the hall, a group of black clothed people holding steel blades in their hands suddenly rushed in.
"Husband and wife really are deeply in love. I wonder if this concubine has disturbed Your Majesty and the Empress enjoying the New Year's Eve dinner together." Tuozan had a cold smile on her face as she slowly walked out from the group of black clothed people. With her hands behind her back, she coldly stared at Siyang … and Xue Pinggui.
"You, how did you …" Xue Pinggui was shocked. He supported himself on the table as he stood up and pointed at Tuozan. Looking at the people around her, he had a bad feeling.
"Humph," Tuozan glanced at him with disdain, "Does Your Majesty want to ask why this concubine is here? Isn't it obvious? Do you think that I, the Western Liang Princess, am just a decoration? "
"Princess, it's better to kill that dog emperor Xue Pinggui as soon as possible. When the time comes, the world will belong to the Great Prince." A black clothed person standing beside Tuozan bowed and urged, "We didn't bring enough people. If the Imperial Guards from the palace come, it won't be easy to clean up the mess."
Tuozan raised her hand to cut him off. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, this princess won't be soft-hearted towards him."
"Xue Pinggui, of course he will die. But before he dies, this princess wants to kill this woman first."
She raised her hand and took the steel sword that someone had placed in her hand. Tuozan's eyes were filled with hatred as she walked towards Siyang.
"Wang Baochuan, you didn't think that this day would come, did you?"
"Miss, hurry and run …" Cui 'er stood in front of Siyang and anxiously called out.
Xue Pinggui took a deep breath and reacted, "Come quickly, there's an assassin, there's an assassin."
"None of you will be able to escape." Tuozan waved the sword in her hand and looked at Xue Pinggui with disgust. She said carelessly, "Your Majesty, you should save it. The people outside your palace have already been taken care of by the people I brought. Those Imperial Guards are probably still dealing with the trouble outside the palace. For the time being, they won't be able to care about you, the Emperor."
"You, you dare to rebel? If you kill me, all of you will be buried here." Xue Pinggui said harshly.
Tuozan snorted carelessly, "Do you think that many people worship you as the Emperor? Once you die, I will let my Shu-er ascend the throne. He is your son anyway, so he is perfectly justified. Your courtiers want to stop the war and take advantage of this opportunity. Who cares about your life?"
"You, you …" Xue Pinggui's heart jumped when he heard Tuozan's words. It was not because of anything else, but because what she said was very likely to happen. He was so angry that he couldn't catch his breath. He covered his chest and coughed violently.
Tuozan didn't want to waste any more words with him. She finally stood in front of Siyang. She completely ignored Cui 'er.
"You are the meat on my chopping block. What else do you have to say now?" Tuozan wanted to see Siyang's frightened face, but she was disappointed. From the moment she entered the room until now, she had been calm, which made her very angry.
Siyang pulled Cui 'er behind her. Cui' er wanted to resist, but she found that she was not strong enough to break free from her Miss. She was easily pushed away. She was very surprised.
"I don't want to say anything to you. After all, you won't listen to what I want to say. You have never concealed your desire to kill me, have you?"
"You can see through it." Tuozan smiled coldly and nodded. She finally understood that Wang Baochuan had seen through her plan from the beginning. It was no wonder that she had been defeated repeatedly.
Tuozan's eyes darkened. She raised her hand, "Then you should know your fate now …"
"Ah —" Cui 'er screamed in fear.
"— — Puchi."
The sound of the sharp steel knife piercing flesh was ear-piercing and terrifying.
Xue Pinggui's body stiffened. All the blood in his body seemed to have frozen at this moment. He opened his mouth wide and wanted to shout, but no sound came out. With a face full of disbelief, he slowly lowered his head …
A steel knife had pierced straight into his abdomen. Blood had already spread out from his clothes and dripped down along the snow-white blade.
In contrast to Xue Pinggui's stunned face, Tuozan was even more panicked. She couldn't help but let go of the knife handle and hurriedly stepped back.
"How, how could …" Tuozan panicked. She didn't expect that Xue Pinggui would block the knife she had aimed at Siyang. No, he didn't want to block it.
"Wang Baochuan, you actually, actually …" Tuozan widened her eyes in disbelief. She pointed at Siyang with a trembling finger, "You, you …" She couldn't speak. But she clearly saw that it was Wang Baochuan who pulled Xue Pinggui over to block the knife. She did it so decisively and without hesitation. Wasn't she the one who loved Xue Pinggui the most?
Xue Pinggui, who was lying on the ground, also wanted to know the answer to this question. He clutched the knife in his wound and knelt on the ground awkwardly. He stared at Siyang, wanting to get an answer.
But that woman's belly was protruding and her face was expressionless. It was as if she hadn't done what had just happened. She didn't even look at him.
But she didn't want to wrong herself and sleep in the same bed as a man who disgusted her. So after thinking for a bit, she followed Tuozan's words and said, "Meimei is right. Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and is working day and night. This concubine shouldn't trouble you."
The last words were said to Xue Pinggui. After he heard it, he looked at the two. Adding on the fact that he had other things on his mind, he didn't think too much about it.
"Since it's like this, then tonight, beloved concubine will take care of the Empress." Sighing, Xue Pinggui opened his arms and wrapped them around Siyang and Tuozan's shoulders. His voice was filled with comfort, "Speaking of which, zhen only has the Empress Dowager and the Empress Dowager. You two sisters should talk together and cultivate feelings."
"Your Majesty's words are reasonable." Tuozan nodded with a slight smile. She held Siyang with one hand, her face full of sisterly affection. But what she was thinking inside, only she knew.
Siyang sneered in her heart. In the end, she didn't show anything on her face. She just went along and showed her gentleness and gentleness to the fullest.
That assassin had been unconscious the entire time and hadn't been able to say a word before she was taken to the prison. Siyang didn't care what kind of interrogation would be done later and what the result would be. She didn't think that one assassin could drag Tuozan down. Not to mention whether the assassin would confess to her, even if she did, Xue Pinggui wouldn't touch a hair on Tuozan's head. Instead, if she didn't let go, then she would expose herself.
In any case, tonight's goal had been achieved. Some things needed to be slowly infiltrated. For example, more than half of the people in the palace were from Xiliang. Everyone had more trust in Tuozan than in Xue Pinggui.
She believed that no one in power would allow such a thing to happen. Even if they couldn't act now, how could they allow others to sleep beside their bed? Sooner or later, there would be a reckoning.
Wang Baochuan was pure and kind, so she would follow her character.
That night, Siyang followed Tuozan to her Western Palace to rest. The Western Palace wasn't as gorgeous as the main palace, but the furnishings were much better than her Jade Earth Palace.
Tuozan was proud and arrogant. It was fine if she pretended in front of Xue Pinggui, but when it came to Wang Baochuan, she didn't have the leisure to do so. Siyang thought the same.
The next day, after returning to the Jade Earth Palace, Siyang heard the news that the assassin had committed suicide in the prison by biting her tongue.
"It seems that our Emperor has made a decision."
After last night's incident, many people were dispatched to the Jade Earth Palace today. The guards were also increased. It seemed to be to appease Siyang. Xue Pinggui also sent a large number of rewards along with the news.
Siyang didn't refuse any of them. It would be a waste if she didn't accept them. The assassin's death was within her expectations, so she didn't feel angry.
"Your Majesty, how can you be like this? Isn't that assassin very obvious?" Si Yang didn't care about it, but Cui Er had a belly full of anger.
Siyang handed the new palace servants to a few old nannies. She took Cui 'er out for a walk.
Looking at Cui 'er's angry appearance, Siyang laughed. "Didn't I tell you earlier?"
The commander of the imperial guards was Xiliang's man. When the assassin was caught, he obviously wanted to protect her. Cui 'er rushed out to beg Xue Pinggui. This was all within her calculations. Siyang had also told her the result.
Cui 'er was still depressed. "Even so, Young Miss, we can't just let them bully us. Now that His Majesty is protecting Imperial Consort Niangniang like this, I'm afraid there won't be a place for you in the future."
The morning dew was heavy. After two steps, the hem of her clothes was wet. The master and servant stood on a small bridge. This place was remote and quiet. There was no one around.
Cui 'er supported her young miss and sighed. "Don't blame this servant for talking too much. I'm just worried."
It was autumn. Many yellow leaves had fallen on the lake under the bridge. They drifted with the waves. In the distance, they could see people taking care of it.
"The assassin has been used. What place do you think there will be?"
Whether it was Xue Pinggui or Tuozan, none of them wanted Wang Baochuan to live well.
Tuozan couldn't wait for her to die now so that she could give way to her. As for Xue Pinggui, he was bound by morals and couldn't act openly. However, he had many tricks up his sleeves. He also deliberately let Tuozan go. This showed how ruthless he was.
"Cui 'er, I know what you want to say. Leave the palace, this place of trouble, right?" Staring at the blue sky, Siyang shook her head slowly and softly. However, the words she said were full of anger. "I waited for Xue Pinggui for 18 years. It's fine if he was heartless, but he used me, his wife, to save his reputation. Now that I'm no longer useful, he wants to kick me away. How can it be so simple?"
Cui 'er felt the arm she was supporting tighten in an instant.
"If they don't pay back what they owe me, I won't be satisfied even if I die." Siyang was saying what Wang Baochuan was thinking.
"So, I won't leave. I won't let them off easily. Tuozan wants the position of Empress, so I'm going to sit there firmly and steadily. Xue Pinggui wants me to die, so I'm going to live longer than him. Not only that, this world … Who?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Siyang's expression hardened. She looked below the bridge. Her sharp intuition told her that there was someone hiding there.
Cui 'er was startled. She also looked down. There was a row of parasol trees under the bridge. They were lush with leaves. Could there be someone hiding there?
Seeing that her shout didn't call out the person, Siyang was slightly displeased. Her slightly raised almond-shaped eyes narrowed.
The row of parasol trees was so close that one person couldn't wrap his arms around each of them. A corner of indigo-colored clothes flashed through.
Cui 'er covered her mouth in surprise. There really was someone there. After that, she panicked. What they said just now, could it be …
Siyang's expression didn't change. She patted her gently to comfort her. Her eyes were fixed in that direction, waiting for that person to appear.
It was said that women were harmful to the country. Who knew? They were just pawns in other people's hands.
She wasn't satisfied!
— — —
There was a dilapidated pavilion and a courtyard overgrown with weeds.
Behind the courtyard walls was a magnificent and majestic palace.
Behind a red wall, the faint sounds of music could be heard. Women's playful and coquettish cries and men's boorish laughter could be heard. One could imagine the scene of music.
The desolation of this place and the extravagance behind the wall were separated by an iron lock on the door. It was as if they were separated into two different worlds.
"Woof woof!"
A little white dog was whining and anxiously wagging its tail as it circled around on the ground. Upon closer inspection, one would discover that there was an unconscious woman lying beside the little white dog.
The woman was lying on her side, motionless. Her ink-black hair was draped over her body, adding to her fragile and delicate appearance.
The little white dog understood human nature. Seeing that she was unconscious, it kept whining and rubbing its nose against the woman's face. It stuck out its tongue and licked it.
The hair on her face was brushed aside, revealing a corner of the woman's face.
She had an almond-shaped face and peachy cheeks. Her skin was as smooth as cream. Her face was like a hibiscus. A pair of willowy eyebrows were like smoke. She was elegant and delicate. Her nose was tall and straight. Below that was a little pink cherry lips. Her appearance was truly alluring.
At this moment, her long and curly eyelashes trembled a few times before she slowly opened her eyes. Her watery and beautiful eyes were like peach leaves, bright and moving. Her eyes seemed to be able to lock onto a person's mind.
The whining by her ear and the wet and itchy sensation on her face finally woke Siyang up.
The first thing she did when she woke up was to quickly survey her surroundings. Even after she had ascertained her current condition, she did not relax.
"Little Geek, you must have been scared." Rubbing her forehead, Siyang propped herself up and sat up. She looked at the little white dog, who was barking excitedly because she had woken up. She smiled and hugged it. She reached out and scratched its chin.
The little white dog, Little Geek, responded to Siyang. It tried its best to lick her hand a few more times.
He stood up with Oddball in his arms and glanced at the place where he was living. The corners of his mouth curled up.
She was now Su Daji, who had just entered the palace. She had no status and was banished to the Cold Palace by King Zhou without any wrongdoing.
King Zhou had an irritable personality and was lustful for women. When he was out, he saw two beauties in a mirage. He could not forget about them. Until someone found out that they were the daughters of the Marquis of Ji Province, Su Hu. Under pressure, Su Hu could only offer his daughters to Zhaoge.
However, among the court officials, there were people who were good at divination. They calculated that Su Hu's daughter, Daji, was a demoness who would bring disaster to the country and its people. All the civil and military officials knelt outside the palace and admonished King Zhou to get rid of Daji.
King Zhou, who was upset, agreed to it just like that.
Banished to the Cold Palace, her riches and honor were gone. In addition, her sister, Clove, who had entered the palace with her, was favored by King Zhou. No court officials tried to stop her. Under such an unbalanced situation, Daji's original honest and kind attitude changed.
Nine-tailed Fox, who had been hiding in the dark, found an opportunity to confuse Daji's mind. In the end, it possessed her and pushed Yin Shang to the brink of destruction. No one could pull it back.
Siyang looked down at Xue Pinggui, who reeked of alcohol and was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed. The corner of her mouth twitched mockingly. In the end, she slowly put down the curtain and turned to walk to the table.
She opened the lid of the incense burner and gently fiddled with the silver hairpin.
A pair of hands silently hugged her slender waist from behind. Then, a low voice with a warm breath sounded in her ear.
"If His Majesty knew that the Empress would rather take the risk of tampering with his calming incense than sleep with him, I don't know what he would think."
Lowering her head to look at the large hand on her waist, Si Yang slowly inserted the silver hairpin into her hair bun. She deftly broke free from the arm around her and turned around to look at the handsome man in front of her. Her lips curled into a smile as she placed her hand on his chest to increase the distance between them.
"The Runan Of Gojoseon entered the palace without an imperial order and barged into the Sweet Dew Palace at night. How should he be punished for such a disgraceful act?"
Li Yi lowered his head to look at Siyang's increasingly beautiful face. His chest warmed and his eyes narrowed. He held the hand in front of her chest with one hand and leaned close to her ear. His voice was low and mellow: "The Empress left out one sentence."
Siyang raised her eyebrows slightly. In the next moment, her waist was once again held. Her body was pressed into the man's embrace with more force.
"This official still has to go to Wu Mountain with the Empress. Should I add another crime of causing chaos in the palace?
