Chapter 256 Night Visit
There are many fire candles in the Buddhist hall. Yin Xiuzhen knelt devoutly in front of the Buddha statue, quietly knocking on the wooden fish, and Jing Li looked at her. If it hadn't been because she was too familiar with her, she would not have been recognized at this time.
Her originally round face is now deeply immersed in it. Her eyes are tightly closed, and I can't see what she is thinking now. Moreover, she used to like bright colors and always likes to wear that kind of gorgeous clothes, but now she is replaced by the blue-gray monotonous robe, and her plump hands have also become like old bark. That's it.
I haven't seen her for a few months. She actually lost weight so much. Jing Li's original resentment about her in her heart has also dissipated without a trace at this moment. She squatted down in front of her. Yin Xiuzhen still didn't have much reaction. She still hasn't stopped knocking on the wooden fish in her hand. After a long time, Jing Li is a little tired of her. He stood up again and couldn't help sighing. At this time, the sound of the wooden fish stopped, but Yin Xiuzhen still medited on the Buddha beads in her hand and whispered, "Aunt Hua, don't worry about me, my old lady. Go down and have a rest."
"Do you plan to be like this all your life until you die?" Jing Li opened her mouth gently, which made her suddenly stunned. She immediately opened her eyes and saw Jing Li in front of her for a moment. After a long time, she still stared at her, and finally asked, "You... why are you here?"
"I haven't passed on to you for a long time, and I will naturally come. Originally, you were not sick, but lived in this Buddhist hall. You knocked on the wooden fish and read the Buddhist scriptures, but you are confessing what you have done?" Jing Li said calmly, and his eyes seemed to be about to reach Yin Xiuzhen's heart. Yin Xiuzhen slowly withdrew her sight, looked at the Buddha statue in front of him, knelt down devoutly, and then got up and said, "Is it the emperor who comes to ask for sins?"
"Of course not!" Jing Li sighed and said, "The past is over. I promised Zhaoyu to take good care of you. Since you came back from Xiaoyao City, I have always wanted to talk to you. I want to know what you are thinking now and what you want to do next? In fact, when you are old, it is useless to fight for this country. Even if I give you the country, so what? Will people in the world recognize you? Will you live a peaceful life?"
"Actually... If the sinner said from beginning to end, the sinner did not want to take this throne, but just wanted to bring the emperor to order the emperor, do you believe it?" She looked away from Jing Li and looked at Jing Li seriously. Jing Li didn't say anything, but her eyes were also exploring her. The two were silent for a long time. Jing Li finally nodded. At this point, Yin Xiuzhen's eyes were immediately full of tears. She whispered, "Once the sinner called for wind and rain in this big Jing Kingdom, what do you want? What, you can do what you want to do. The first king respects the sinful minister for three points, and the ministers are afraid of three points for the sins, but when it comes to the emperor, you never pay attention to the sinful minister, so the sinful minister can't live in his heart and wants to control the emperor in his hand. The sinful minister first sent his son, but his son rebelled against his own meaning. Zhao Yu once advised the sinner, but at that time, the sinner was angry and anxious, how could he listen to his words? The sinner should die.
Speaking of this, Yin Xiuzhen has been in tears, and Jing Li's eyes are also a little tearful. She nodded and whispered, "Yes, it's all caused by power, and I'm not good. If I didn't push you too hard at the beginning, maybe... Maybe Zhaoyu is still in this world. Maybe I still have a queen."
Jing Li mentioned Yin Zhaoyu and hurt Yin Xiuzhen's pain. Her tears suddenly fell down. She shook her head and sighed, but she choked. Jing Li saw her like this and looked at her current state. Her heart suddenly softened and sighed. He said, "I am also very sad about Zhaoyu's death. He was killed by Qingchen. When he died, his body was almost full of needles. These needles were taken from him."
Obviously, Jing Li was prepared. She took out the silver needle that had been prepared from her arms and handed it to Yin Xiuzhen. Looking at the silver needles shining with a faint cold light, Yin Xiuzhen's body trembled slightly, and her hand trembled even more. She picked up the needle in Jing Li's hand and looked down.
And Jing Li also found that when she mentioned Qingchen, Yin Xiuzhen's body was obviously shocked. This discovery also made Jing Li's heart more confident. She whispered, "Since everything has been said, I want to give you tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and then go with Aunt Hua to destroy Qingchen. I don't know. Would you like to be a father-in-law?
Yin Xiuzhen, who was called by the abbot, trembled again. She raised her eyes and said in disbelief, "After so many things, are you still willing to give it to the soldiers? Are you willing to let me lead the army?"
"You also said that you didn't mean to be with me, didn't you? Moreover, I now have a phoenix fetus in my body. I can't march, and the court has changed. I have lost a lot of good generals. My only generals now can count them with one hand. It is far from enough to support the country of this big thorn. More importantly, I want to avenge Zhaoyu, and Zhaoyu is your son. It's difficult. Tao... Don't you want to avenge him?"
"Revenge...Revenge!" Yin Xiuzhen silently read Jing Li's words. After a long time, she slowly raised her head and nodded solemnly and said, "Okay, according to the emperor's words, the sinner will lead the army to clean up the dust and atone for his sins!"
"Good!" Seeing her cheerfulness, Jing Li's face had changed a little radiantly. She also answered cheerfully, and then said in a low voice, "You are not the only one who wants to avenge her. I have appointed a new male general. He will cooperate with you as your deputy general. I hope you two are united and work together as soon as possible. The country has eliminated this scourge.
"The sinner takes the order! The emperor dares not do it for ordinary people, and he dares not do it for ordinary people. The sinner admires it!" Yin Xiuzhen lowered her head and whispered. Jing Li knew that she was talking about appointing a male general and a male prime minister, so she smiled coldly and did not take her words. She just turned around indifferently and quickly walked out of the Buddhist hall.
Yin Xiuzhen looked at her steady pace and seemed to see that Da Jingguo had become stable and prosperous under her leadership. She did not come out of the Buddhist hall, but she never remembered the sound of chanting scriptures and knocking on wooden fish.
Jing Li walked out of the Buddhist hall, and what they said inside was not loud, but the people standing at the door of the Buddhist hall still heard their conversation word for word. The strongest reaction was Aunt Hua. After accompanying Jing Li and others to the front yard, Aunt Hua suddenly knelt on the ground with a plop. On, he knocked several times.
Jing Li frowned tightly and said puzzledly, "General Hua, why are you?"
"The emperor repays her grievances with virtue, which really makes Weichen admire her. Since the old master came back, although she has not said anything, Weichen knows in her heart that she can't overcome this hurdle, but the emperor persuaded her and gave her military power. The emperor's painstaking Weichen saw it seriously. The emperor's benevolence made Weichen worship, thank you. Thank you, emperor!" At the end of the time, Aunt Hua was already a little sobbing.
Jing Li sighed, came over and helped her, and then whispered, "It's hard for you to see my painstaking efforts, but now is not the time to fight against the dust. Although she has a certain ambition, except for the two cronies around her, she must have found a stable and powerful backer. Otherwise, she would not dare to do this. Don't act, if it's too late, it will bring disaster to yourself!"
"What does the emperor mean?" Aunt Hua looked at Jing Li without understanding.
"Wait for the opportunity." Jing Li whispered in a low voice. Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment, as if she understood a little. She nodded slightly, and some words could only be clicked. Jing Li saw Aunt Hua's slightly thoughtful expression, smiled indifferently, and turned away.
Immediately, there was an exquisite shout: "The emperor drove back to the palace!"
Then in an instant, the people immediately knelt down in the yard, and everyone shouted together, "Congratulations to my emperor, long live my emperor!"
Jing Li left, but Yin Fu suddenly lost the peace of this period of time. Aunt Hua walked to the Buddhist hall in the backyard and saw Yin Xiuzhen still kneeling there. She just looked stunned and didn't know what she was thinking. She walked over puzzledly, and then knelt behind her and bowed to the Buddhist hall a few times. Then he said, "Master, it's late at night."
"The emperor wants to give me tens of thousands of elite soldiers, and the emperor also supports me to take revenge. Do you think... Is all this true?" Yin Xiuzhen did not look back. She also heard that Aunt Hua asked her to rest early, but her heart was confused. She had to find someone to solve her puzzles, and Aunt Hua was nothing more than the best candidate.
When she finished speaking, Aunt Hua answered in a low voice, "To the master's words, all this is true. Although the emperor is young, he is very measured. He is kind to the world, and benevolence and righteousness comes first. Only then will she forgive the life of Princess Qingchen and make her king, but... Qingchen is still evil. Now Now I don't know what happened again, which made the emperor feel sad.
Yin Xiuzhen passed her face, her eyes tightly locked Aunt Hua's face, and whispered, "I'm not asking Qingchen, I mean the emperor really let me go? Or do you just want to use it, and then wait for me to remove the dust, and she is removing me?
Aunt Hua was stunned and frowned slightly and said, "Master, in the eyes of the maidservant, the emperor is sincere. Think about it, the emperor now has a thousand and ten thousand reasons to kill the master, but she has never had it. She placed the master in this small yard and just wanted the master to spend his old age, but the materials and life The servant has never been less. The maidservant feels that she is changing her filial piety for the little master. In the emperor's heart, she treats you as her own mother. Although her mother is angry, she can't compare with it, can she?
"She regards me as a mother? Do you regard me as a mother?" Yin Xiuzhen muttered. After a long time, she shook her head and smiled and said, "I miss the prosperity of my life. What kind of people have not seen, what kind of conspiracy has not been experienced, what kind of suffering has not been experienced, and what kind of wealth has not been enjoyed!" But... I was shocked to find that whether in the past or now, I have never understood Jing Li! If she is really as you said, she will be a peerless wise king! But if not, she would be the most sinister person in the world. She can kill and be invisible. She is good at using people's hearts, and just when I didn't pay attention, my heart that I was willing to return to calm was provoked by her, and it was easily provoked by her.
"Master, don't think too much. The emperor will definitely do what she promised her master. Master, why do you think too much?"
Listening to Aunt Hua's low persuasion, Yin Xiuzhen sighed, "Alas, yes! Why am I so serious? I'm old. No matter how things change in this world, I just want to take revenge for my son. As soon as the elite soldiers arrive, you will immediately go to Xiaoyao City.
Aunt Hua was stunned and said quickly, "Master, not yet."
"Why not?" Yin Xiuzhen turned around and looked at Aunt Hua puzzledly. Aunt Hua sighed, "We have been away from Xiaoyao City for a while. We still need to slowly discuss the matter of leaving for the crusade. We need to hold the dynamics of the enemy and know it, so that we can not fight."
"Yes, I'm too anxious." Yin Xiuzhen is still a person who can listen to Jin Zhong's words. She got up tremblingly, stretched out her hand to Aunt Hua, and whispered, "Then let's talk about this tomorrow. I have to sleep well first. I have to make a good plan."
In the palace...
Because Jing Li went out of the palace all night, both Zhou Zhichao and Yu Mo were in a hurry. No one had a rest first. These days were their wedding, so Jing Feng temporarily returned to his residence and left them the opportunity to serve the emperor. Since that day, Jing Li left two people to live here, the two of them I have never left.
"Your Majesty, are you tired? I'm going to take a hot bath for the emperor."
The exquisite voice came from outside the door. Zhou Zhichao and Yu Mo stood up at the same time and greeted them at the palace gate together. When they saw Jing Li, they immediately saluted. Jing Li smiled slightly and said, "Why haven't you slept yet? It's been three days."
"The emperor hasn't returned. Yumo and I are very uneasy. How can we sleep?" Zhou Zhichao answered lightly. Jing Li smiled faintly, took off his cloak and gave it to Linglong, and then came to the room. The warmth in the room made her feel comfortable for a while, but as soon as Jing Li sat down, Linglong, who was bored all the way, immediately came over and said, "Your Majesty, have you really decided to release Yin Xiuzhen's military power?"
"Your Majesty, do you want to re-lew the military power to Yin Xiuzhen?" Zhou Zhichao was also very surprised when he heard this. Yu Mo didn't understand the national politics of Jing, but when he saw that the faces of these three people were very heavy, he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He reached out and held Jing Li's hand.
Jing Li smiled at everyone and rubbed Yu Mo's hand to comfort him slightly before saying, "What's the matter? Do you think it's inappropriate for me to do this?"
"It's hard to say that this... is not so much inappropriate as that you are gambling. Yin Xiuzhen has long been rebellious. Now if she gets the military power and conspires with that Qingchen, wouldn't it be bad at that time?"
Hearing Zhou Zhichao say this, Jing Li also sighed helplessly and said to Linglong, "You go and tell the maidservant to bring me hot water first."
"Yes!" Linglong answered gently and turned away. Jing Li rubbed her legs and said, "Actually, Zhichao, you're right. I'm gambling, gambling on humanity, and gambling on conscience!" I went to Yin's mansion today. The appearance of Yin Xiuzhen made me sad. She will become what she is today. A large part of the reason is that if I know it, I must not want to see her mother like this, so I will make such a decision, and this decision is only temporary, not I have thought about it carefully.
"Your Majesty... Do you still feel ashamed of the queen?" Zhou Zhichao saw the Luo Mo between Jing Li's eyebrows, and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. Jing Li took a deep breath and said, "It's a lie to be worthy of it. Although his mother has been doing it against me, he has always been protecting me. He is a hundred days of kindness for husband and wife. What's more, he is my queen, and he died because of me. I owe him enough. I just want to make him happy. Although he went, But I don't want him to care about anything in this world.
"A hundred days of grace for a husband and wife!" Zhou Zhichao meditated on what Jing Li said, and there was a strong sense of admiration in his eyes. He said with great emotion: "The emperor is affectionate and righteousness. Zhichao feels very happy to spend his life with a wife like the emperor."
Jing Li looked at him and smiled. He looked back at Yu Mo, and the three of them smiled together...
Jing Li looked at the two bright smiling faces in front of her, and her heart couldn't help but be full of happiness, stroking her lower abdomen, child! She has already had a child. Since she came to this world, she has never thought about how long she will stay here. From the uneasiness at the beginning to the end, she has never had a very real feeling, but now it is different. Her whole body, her whole mind, seems to have changed because of the child in her belly and become In this alien world, it has taken root, sprouted, and grown branches and leaves...
The hot water was carried in by several slaves. The wooden barrel with white smoke made Jing Li throw away the chaotic thoughts in his heart. He came over and said with a smile, "I really want to take a bath, but I can get rid of this fatigue and sleep well all night. It's cold outside. You two don't have to avoid it. Linglong can just pull up the curtain and wait for me. I'll take a bath!"
"Yes!" Linglong answered, and Jing Li's sentence seemed to be unintentional, but it caused two beautiful men to look at each other awkwardly. They didn't know where to put their eyes. Before long, there was a sound of water behind the tent, and Jing Li's occasional squeaking because of comfort, which made their two hearts beat like thunder. , restless.
"The stars outside are so beautiful..." He casually looked for a reason. Zhou Zhichao quickly walked out of the palace with his whole body. Yu Mo was an honest man. As soon as he heard it, he stood up and followed Zhou Zhichao to the courtyard, but on that dark night, how could there be a star? He couldn't help saying strangely, "Master, there are no stars in the sky!"
When Zhou Zhichao heard this, he stared at him angrily and then glanced at the emperor's palace. Yu Mo was slightly stunned. He looked back at Jing Li's palace, and then looked at Zhou Zhichao's red face. He suddenly understood why Zhou Zhichao came out. Shi also followed the pink on his face and laughed shyly...
