Chapter 913 Meeting Ceremony
Bailian sneered and said: "The Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance really has a shady connection with the underground city."
He glanced at Shen Tu and said: "The Great King's Palace can analyze the ambitions of the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance clearly, but you still have great influence on Ying Xiu's behavior. I support it."
The corners of Shen Tu's lips curled up in helplessness: "Your Majesty is not aware of the current situation in Zhongyou, and there are signs of the rise of the devil.
I even heard that there is a rise in the devil world. The new king's succession has even attracted the attention of the immortal world, and the Langya Demon Sect is taking advantage of this trend
The disciples of the sect came out in droves to search for and compete for the bones of the old sect leader Zhao He from all over the world, trying to use Zhao He's body to seize the demon bone relics and become a true demon.
If the devil really rises, given the lessons learned from that incident more than five hundred years ago, the first person Langya Demon Sect has to deal with may be me, the Zhongyou Dynasty!
Although he knows that the Wandao Immortal Alliance has evil intentions, he has to bet his only hope on Ying Xiu. As long as the inheritance of the Zhongyou Emperor's House is immortal, it will cut off the wrists of a strong man, so there is no harm in feeding the tiger with his body! "
Speaking of this, Shen Tu showed a smile on his face, looked at Balian and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, Your Highness, you are here. "
Bailian looked at each other and smiled: "It seems that Shentu Palace has a counterattack plan. ”
There was some meaning in Shen Tu's eyes: "His Highness issued a strict order to block the news of his return. Didn't he also have other plans?
The current situation, for the outside Xianmen forces, it is not known that Ying Xiu has already
I only know that the disciples of the Immortal Sect they sent died in Zhongyou, and died at the hands of the casual cultivators sent by the Wandao Immortal Alliance. No matter how bad the debt is, it cannot be attributed to us."
Bailian said: "The ancient alliance leader is probably eager to see our Highness Ying Xiu."
< br>Shen Tu clasped his two palms in the wide cuffs, and his twitching eyelids no longer looked so sinister because of the smile:
"Shen Tu has been in the world for thousands of years, and he is quite familiar with the illusion of disguise.
Since Gu Sansong wants to meet Ying Xiu, Your Highness might as well meet him for a while. After all... he wants to use his collaborators. , isn’t it our Prince Zhongyou?”
Are you planning to fight back?
Bailian smiled and said: "The Great King's Palace has the same idea as me."
Shen Tu said: "When does Your Highness plan to set off?"< br>
Balian muttered: "Three days from now. During this period, I hope that the Great King's Palace can do something for me first."
Shen Tu understood it with just a few clicks, and the smile in his eyes was inexplicably a little brighter. Chill came: "Does His Highness want the old minister to purge the dynasty?"
Bailian said: "Today's court meeting, the attitude of all the forces must have been seen by the King's Palace, who can be kept, The King's Palace must have already thought about who should not be kept.
Although Zhongyou's problem is not big, it is indeed a hidden danger. My identity cannot be known to the outside world, so I must not let this person be cut into pieces. The hidden dangers continue to spread.
At present, Zhongyou does not seek to be prosperous and powerful. I only seek that the people around me should not hide their intentions. "
Shen Tu slowly closed his eyes: "Your Highness, I understand what you mean."
Manfu, who was listening in, felt a murderous intention that was as sharp as bone for no reason, and he shuddered hard.
He thought that a seemingly peaceful court meeting with clear rewards and punishments actually contained such murderous intentions.
Anyone who can help the King's Palace take action will definitely be a bloody rain.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's actions are quite similar to the ruthless character of His Majesty Ying Ji who killed the rebel king two hundred years ago and massacred everyone.
This Zhongyou has really welcomed its real master.
After Balian learned some news about the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Alliance from Shen Tu, he sorted out his thoughts, and was completely relieved to leave the nail-biting bones hidden in Zhongyouli to Shen Tu.
After finishing some last-minute matters, Balian calculated the time and it happened to be You hour.
He left the Imperial Palace and went to the dining room to cook two bowls of shredded chicken noodle soup, cut two plates of beef in soy sauce, and fried fish meatballs and jars of meat.
Not long after, two full boxes of food were prepared and carried to the dormitory.
At this moment, the sun has completely disappeared, palace lanterns are lit in the imperial city, the night fog is light, the stars are sparse and cold, and there is no light under the window paper of the palace where Yin Baishuang lives. It seems that he is still sleeping soundly.
Bailian tiptoed into the hall softly, lit up the small red clay stove, heated the chicken soup noodles and pot of meat over a warm and gentle fire, and stretched his neck to look at the man who was sleeping peacefully on the couch. girl.
Xu Shi’s hall had not been occupied for a long time, and the room was a little stuffy. The quilt that had been tucked in for her was pushed open at a corner, and her white and tender feet were exposed.
Bailian had no choice but to quietly touch her over, cover her with the quilt again, push the window open to let the cool night breeze enter the hall, and then leave quietly.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Empress Palace, he saw the imperial official named He Xingyun pacing back and forth in front of the palace door with a sad face.
The moment he saw Bai Lianxing coming, his body stiffened slightly, and he immediately stepped forward to salute and say hello: "Your Majesty... Your Highness."
Bailian looked him up and down and said, "My hands are broken. This idea hasn’t been given up yet.”
He Xingyun’s face suddenly turned red, and he was choked by Bai Lian’s direct words and could not speak.
Bailian ignored this cowardly disciple behind him and pushed the door open to enter the palace.
Ying Ji is reviewing memorials in the palace. In the past few days, the pile of papers on the desk seems to have become lighter.
It seemed that she had not left the palace for the past three days, and her whole mind was devoted to these poems.
Over the years, she has gone crazy, but after she normalized, her emotions were really stable.
At least when it comes to national affairs, Ying Ji has always been dedicated to her duties and never slacked off in the slightest.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Ying Ji put down the carving knife in her hand, looked at the tall figure of the young man behind the bead curtain through the dim candlelight, frowned slightly and said:
"I heard that a few days ago , Ying Xiu caused some trouble in the Imperial Palace?”
Although she has not left the palace, she is the Empress of Zhongyou after all, so how can she be completely unaware of what Ying Xiu is doing.
Not to mention, when Ying Xiu ascended the steps, the pitiful cry of 'Mother' that penetrated the lungs was really conveyed to Ying Ji.
At that time, Ying Ji was suffering from mental madness. Ying Xiu made such a fuss, but she secretly suffered a lot.
I thought that with Ying Xiu’s temperament, he would persevere in making this mess even bigger, but I didn’t expect that there would be no aftermath.
Ying Ji’s ears also became clear, and it was rare for her to live a peaceful life for a few days. In the past few days, Bai Lian, who was supposed to come to feed her, was still missing, so Ying Ji guessed some clues.
Bailian opened the curtain as if nothing had happened, placed the hot chicken noodles and food in the food box on the royal table where she was handling government affairs, and said calmly:
"Win Sleeveband The foreign cultivators came to rebel, but fortunately the incident was not too big and was suppressed.”
There are only a hundred people who dare to treat the empress’s royal table with food and dishes as a normal thing. Lian alone dares to be so bold.
Fortunately, Ying Ji had long been accustomed to her boldness, and over time, she felt that it was nothing.
She picked up the silver spoon and was about to pretend to be an empress to serve the soup noodles to moisten her throat. Unexpectedly, before the silver spoon touched the soup noodles, the entire soup bowl was picked up by Bailian.
Ying Ji stared blankly as the mouth of the bowl, which was bigger than her face, was facing her steadily, and the chicken shreds were soft.
The soup surface was topped with mushrooms and red oil sauce, and the egg cakes were cut into thin strips. They were golden and attractive, and she swallowed unconsciously.
Behind the mouth of the huge bowl, Ying Ji slowly revealed half of her cold and beautiful face, looking at Balian expressionlessly.
Bailian smiled at her, with white teeth and a warm light in his bright eyes:
"Noodle soup should be eaten while it's hot. One spoonful at a time like this will be tasteless and tasteless. If you eat it with a big mouthful, including the noodles and soup, it will be so fragrant that your tongue can swallow it tightly. ”
Looking at this little guy, he smiles like a flower and looks silly. Both cuffs fell on the food and were stained with oil. He has no manners at all. It’s really The further you drive, the stupider you get.
But it was by staying with this silly boy that Ying Ji could feel a little relaxed and relieved from this heavy world.
She slowly hid half of her cold face again, not bothering to act like a queen anymore.
Stretching his neck slightly, he took a big sip of the noodle soup from the noodle bowl that Bai Lian held over.
The hot and rich soup coats the chewy and soft noodles, and every bite is satisfying.
Under the mist of noodle soup, her eyes were extremely warm. She simply kicked off her shoes, gathered up her snow-white feet, and hid them in her skirt, looking as faceless as a lazy cat. Squat in the seat.
Putting his hands on his knees, he was enjoying Balian’s dinner.
Perhaps because Balian has not been here in the past three days, she really has a good appetite tonight, and she can eat a bowl of noodle soup quickly.
The tip of Ying Ji's nose was red from eating and stained with red oil. She squatted there, looking a little cute and a little stupid, staring at the jar of meat in trance.
She licked her oily lips and asked: "Have you crushed the pepper, cumin, and pepper?"
Bailian picked out a few pieces of good meat that were fat and thin and put them into her bowl without thinking. In answer to her question, she just lowered her eyes and said suddenly: "Ying Xiu is dead."
Ying Ji paused slightly in licking her lips, the warmth in her eyes disappeared a bit, and her eyes reflected The lights are a bit dark.
She picked up two pieces of meat with her chopsticks, but did not put them into her mouth. She lowered her eyes and said lightly: "It's a pity. That child clearly wanted to live that much back then."
Balian stood up, reached out and patted her soft head, saying: "I'm not sad."
Ying Ji suddenly raised her eyes, not caring about Balian's rude and wanton behavior: "I think you are hiding something from me."
Bailian didn't notice the danger hidden in her eyes, and took a photo Wearing the melon seeds on the head of the Empress His claws did not retract: "Your Majesty is too worried."
God knows how careless he was when he said "Your Majesty", just because in Bai Lian's mind that she was her mother, he did not treat this person at all. Empress Zhongyou is treated as a king.
But when such an unruly and intimate look fell in the eyes of Ying Ji who didn’t know the truth, it naturally took on a different flavor.
She raised her eyes weakly, with a hidden meaning in her eyes: "Boy, could it be that you have imitated He Xingyun and had thoughts about me that you shouldn't have?"
Balian's action of patting his head suddenly stopped, as if he was struck by thunder, and he almost slipped under the table in fright at these words.
Seeing that he rarely lost his composure, Ying Ji took it as a sign of guilty conscience. No matter how close she was to this late-born junior, her eyes could not help but gradually grow cold.
Bailian almost swore to God: "I am not as bad as a beast, my dear! You are so worried!"
Seeing him look like this She wished he could reveal his true intentions, but Ying Ji believed that he didn't have the heart and courage.
She nodded slightly and said: "Yes, I heard that this morning, you brought a young girl to Zhongyou. The Nether Palace Department has always been dead, cold and impersonal.
If you can find a girl you like in the human world, you will be raised in Zhongyou for a good life. Considering the fact that you have been serving meals for many days, I will not tell my father about this matter. "
Bailian said feebly: "Thank you very much for your good intentions, old man. ”
Originally, I thought the topic would end here. Balian felt a little embarrassed and wanted to pack up the empty plates on the table and leave.
Who would have expected that the person on the other end would be tasting the food? tea girl However, the Emperor's Empress became interested in gossip and asked: "Looking at your good looks, the girl you can fall in love with is probably a one-in-a-million beauty. If you are free tomorrow, why not bring her to the Empress Palace like me?" Give you the palm of your hand? ”
Bailian has had this idea for a long time, but can he bring her over now to give her a hand?
If Ying Ji saw Yin Baishuang, she would be able to guess his identity even if her brain was blinded by ten pounds of lard.
Bailian had no choice but to laugh and said: "I plan to leave Zhongyou in three days and visit her father in the human world. I'm afraid I won't have the time."
Ying Ji is just a Just mention it casually, although she is really close to this young boy from the bottom of her heart.
But after all, he is neither a relative nor a friend, so he will not worry about the love between his children.
She pondered for a moment, but in the end she could not stand by and watch. She put down the tea cup and took out a blue jade and glazed box from under the desk.
She pushed the box in front of Bai Lian and said: "After all, he is from the Nether Mansion Department. It shouldn't be too shabby to visit the elders. When you go to the human world, buy yourself two pairs of lining clothes. This thing should be regarded as Give it as a greeting gift to your elders. "
Bailian took the box and opened it. Inside was a pair of exquisite and small green marrow jade Ruyi. It can be hidden under the throne of the Empress Palace. Even if you don't look carefully, you know that this thing must be It is extremely precious and a rare thing.
Bailian was in a daze for a moment, as if his heart was lightly bumped by something warm. He raised his eyes and looked at Her Majesty the Empress, who was sipping tea in a dignified posture under the candle. Her eyebrows were not very soft. , but at this moment, he seemed to see again the most gentle appearance of the woman in his memory when she coaxed him to sleep in the bamboo fence hut.
"Yes, I understand." Balian responded softly.
Ying Ji was holding the tea and glanced lightly. For some reason, when she watched the boy put the box away, she gave people the illusion that she valued forbearance very much.
