Chapter 274 Tranquility Before the Storm

"Yes, yes!" As soon as Gao Shenyan opened his mouth, everyone immediately agreed, and some of them also said that the little prince was like Jing Feng, and some said that they were like the two of them. In short, they were very good. The emperor and Jing Feng just listened quietly and looked down at the child from time to time.

Jing Li sat with several concubines. Mo Yan said little, and Yu Mo was even more rare to speak. However, Zhou Zhichao occasionally said a few words to himself. The scene was not too embarrassing, and the gifts given to the prince by several concubines were very practical, and none of them were comparable, which also made Jing Li very happy.

But at this time, suddenly four people came to them with a box. The box was very heavy, as if it was carrying a heavy thing. Jing Li was stunned, and everyone turned their eyes and looked this way.

The four people came to the front with the box, but Jing Li's eyebrows became tighter and tighter. She looked at the people coldly. Although she felt the nervousness of the people, Jing Li also saw them trying to suppress their fear, and then opened the box, and a colorful figure suddenly flew up, so Someone's eyes were attracted by him in an instant.

"It's a flower flying willow!" Everyone began to talk about it, and Jing Li's face was cold. She looked at him coldly and saw him spinning his body. The dance fascinated everyone. Everyone was quiet, and even the delegation of Qi, who was ready to leave after a casual banquet, was stunned.

After a dance, he was silent for a long time and calm for a long time. Jing Li's cold eyes swept over the crowd and said quietly, "Flying Liu, what are you doing? Don't you know that this is the little prince's 100-year-old banquet?

Hua Feiliu bent slightly and nodded gently and said, "If you go back to the emperor, I know! Therefore, during this period of time, my husband has been practicing hard to get married, in order to celebrate the prince's New Year. I would like to wish Dajing eternal prosperity, wish my emperor a happy daughter, and wish the little prince health and safety.

After Hua Feiliu said, her body was full of worship, and she was as amorous as she wanted. Jing Li frowned tightly and turned to look at Linglong. Linglong had been following Jing Li for a long time. She just took a short glance. Linglong understood the meaning. She walked down a step and said, "Your Majesty of Huafei. I'll take it. Please take a seat.

In the original banquet, Hua Feiliu was not invited, and half of the banquet had passed. The sudden appearance of Hua Feiliu made everyone feel surprised. The concubines only looked down to eat. Hua Feiliu was not polite. He picked up the chopsticks prepared by the maid and ate it by himself, because he The serious crime should have been about death row, so no one expected that he would appear in this place, and especially those ministers, although they ate silently, all of them began to be surprised and began to guess in their hearts.

The people who ate at this banquet didn't know the taste. Without the last program, Jing Li was hastily ordered to leave, and the officials bowed and left one after another. The messengers couldn't help but look at Hua Feiliu and left, and made a request to Jing Li to return to China. Jing Li nodded and replied that there would be an ambassador for them. .

It was only when all the people left that the concubines also sat up. At this time, Jing Li slowly turned around and walked in front of Hua Feiliu. She looked at him fixedly. There was tension in Hua Feiliu's eyes, but he still looked at him with the best smile. Jing Li said softly, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"

"Hua Feiliu, do you know the guilt?" Jing Li said coldly. Hua Feiliu was stunned, knelt on the ground suddenly, and bent down and said respectfully, "The emperor is angry. I know it's wrong. I shouldn't have come to the centenary of the little prince without authorization. I know that you don't want to see me, and the emperor is angry."

Just as he was desperately admitting his mistake, everyone did not expect that Jing Li actually stretched out his hand and slapped him. The slap was loud and heavy. Hua Feiliu's face suddenly had five fingerprints, and his body tilted to one side. He looked at her even more unbelievably. Jing Li's eyes were colder, and he said word by word: "Come People, lock the flowers and willows into the cold palace!"

"Your Majesty!" Everyone present was stunned and looked at Jing Li's angry face in disbelie. Jing Li turned his head. Hua Feiliu's face was already pale. He was shocked and looked at Jing Li in disbelief. Jing Li suddenly roared, "Didn't you hear what I said? Pull him down to me."

"Why, what on earth is the emperor's purpose... Emperor, emperor, although the minister did do something wrong before, the minister has changed it and does not compete for fame and profit. Why does the emperor lock up the minister? What on earth is this for?" Hua Feiliu struggled out of control. Jing Li was unmoved and still had a cold face. Hua Feiliu was finally pulled away. The little prince was also shocked and cried by this roar. Jing Feng hurriedly stood up to coax her.

"Your Majesty, Hua Feiliu knows it's wrong, so don't be angry. Maybe he's just dancing today. Why are you so angry?" Jing Feng coaxed the child and whispered a few words in Jing Li's ear. Jing Li didn't make a sound, but his face was colder. No one paid attention to her and turned around and left directly.

Her departure also made the banquet cold. Look at me, I look at you. I don't even speak. They politely returned to their own palace. Zhou Zhichao also returned to the palace. As soon as he walked to the palace, the attendants kept squeezing at him. He was very strange and turned his head. Only then did I find out that Jing Li was in his own palace.

Zhou Zhichao hurried forward to salute. Jing Li turned his head and looked at him, still without saying a word. Zhou Zhichao knew what she was thinking, but just sighed slightly, "Your Majesty, why do you need it?"

"He is too competitive. After the last time, he didn't learn to be good. Do you know why I didn't call him to the centenary banquet? He doesn't know what he has done until now. Do you know that if the officials see a person who betrays me and betrays Dajing, he can still stand in front of me, what face can I stand on that court? The envoy of the State of Qi is there. Isn't it well known?

"The emperor, please calm down. In fact, I think it's good for the emperor to do this. First of all, the emperor will soon give you an explanation tomorrow morning, and by the way, he can also protect him."

"Protect him? What do you mean?" Jing Li was stunned and didn't seem to understand what Zhou Zhichao meant. Zhou Zhichao smiled indifferently and said, "The emperor has lived in the palace for a long time. He may know less about the patriotic spirit of the people of Dajing. If they know that Hua Feiliu was not executed, but also released, Dajing will definitely not be like this. Calm."

As soon as Zhou Zhichao finished his words, Jing Li stopped talking. The two were silent for a while. Jing Li sighed, "Zhichao, do you... think I'm really useless? At the beginning, I really wanted to kill Hua Feiliu, but later..."

When Jing Li said this, he suddenly fell silent. Zhou Zhichao walked over and gently held her in his arms. He said lightly, "It doesn't matter. Everyone knows the emperor's benevolence. It's not surprising that such a thing will happen. It's just for Dajing. Sometimes kindness is not a good thing."

"Yes!" Jing Li whispered and leaned his head on Zhou Zhichao's shoulder. The two looked at the night, but Jing Li's heart was not calm for a moment...

On the second day, the crowd came very strangely early. Jing Li looked at all the people in the court with cold eyes. She knew why these people came. Sure enough, the person led by the high judge spoke. The high judge stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the master of China has been sentenced to death for treason. After being put on death row, dare you ask the emperor if he knows how he came out?

A sentence raised everyone's hearts to their throats. Jing Li looked at her and said with a faint smile, "Taifu, I forgot about this matter, so I didn't have time to tell everyone that he was about to die of illness a while ago. On this day, the husband and wife had a hundred days of kindness, so I felt compassion and took him back to the palace and let Tai The doctors showed him a doctor.

"Your Majesty, isn't the person who is about to die going to be executed after recovering his illness? Is it... the emperor has the intention to shield him?" Who is the high judge? She was the emperor's Taifu, and only she dared to ask this in front of so many people. Sure enough, Jing Li's eyes suddenly narrowed together, and there was not even a person gasping loudly in the back hall.

Jing Li took a deep breath. After a long time, he slowly suppressed his temper and said, "Taifu is concerned about national affairs. I am very happy, but he has been in the same bed with me for so long. It is also appropriate for me to have affection for him. Do you want me to be a ruthless person?"

"I dare not!" Gao Shenyan must have been the elders of the two dynasties. She said slowly, "Since he has been forgiven by the emperor, he should stay in the harem and dance at the prince's 100-year-old banquet. His heart can be seen all over the world. Who doesn't know? I don't know what the emperor is going to do?"

"High judge!" Jing Li called coldly, and everyone was immediately shocked. Gao Xinyan suddenly knelt on the ground. Jing Li was so angry that the two of them stared in the air, and then Jing Li first suppressed her anger. She whispered, "In your opinion, what should I do?"

"The emperor should immediately kill Hua Feiliu, because the crime he committed is an unforgivable crime. What's the difference from Princess Qingchen? Whether it's the relationship between husband and wife or the softness of heart for a while, it is more important than the country of Dajing. The country of Dajing is not conquered by the emperor. The country of Dajing is left by the ancestors!" These words suddenly shocked the ministers again. They were a little timid and their legs were trembling.

Jing Li was silent for a long time. Everyone was holding their breath and waiting. Some people secretly sweated for the high judge. However, at this time, Jing Li smiled and stood up and said, "Okay, what a loyal minister! I will behead the Hua Feiliu according to your words, and pass on my order. Hua Feiliu commits the crime of treason against the enemy, and beheaded him in autumn!"

As soon as she finished her words, everyone immediately knelt on the ground and shouted in unison, "Holy my emperor, long live!"

Looking at this dark man in the court, Jing Li felt the oppression of the emperor for the first time. The emperor could not do anything, and the emperor did not cover the sky with one hand. Thinking of this, Jing Li shook his sleeves and left, but Gao Shenyan did not intend to forget it. She quickly called out, "Your Majesty, so Are Hua Feiliu going to be pressed into the prison now? Waiting for execution."

Jing Li's body was stunned, but she did not respond to Gao Zan's words. She just looked at Zhou Zhichao, and then turned around and walked away. The ministers immediately talked about it. At this time, Zhou Zhichao, who had been silent there, suddenly opened his mouth and said, "I know what everyone is doing, but The emperor is a good virtue. She is always full of feelings for the people around her. Hua Feiliu deserves to die, but do you force the emperor too fast again? In fact, the emperor has his own sense of this matter. After dancing yesterday, Hua Feiliu has been put into the cold palace. Let's give the emperor more time. It's the country or family, light or heavy. I believe that the emperor has his own decision, isn't it?

"Hua Feiliu was put into the cold palace!"

"When did this happen?"

"Yes, yes, I saw that the emperor was very dissatisfied with him yesterday. It turned out that he did not attack in front of all of us, but it was clear in the emperor's heart that good and evil and right and wrong."

Zhou Zhichao's words, like a bomb, caused violence in everyone's hearts. All the people whispered. Zhou Zhichao looked at everyone for a long time and said, "The emperor is a person who doesn't like to explain. The reason why he wants to tell everyone about this is also to let everyone's heart. There is a number in it. All right, let's go back!"

"Thank you, Zhou Xiang!" Everyone saluted and walked out of the court one after another, but there were two people who did not leave, that is, Gao Shenyan and the Third Prince. It seemed that these two people were not as easy to coax. They came over and looked at Zhou Zhichao. Zhou Zhichao was still indifferent. He smiled slightly and said preemptively: "Taifu, the third prince, but what other questions do you have?"

"Is all this true what Zhou Xiang said?" Gao Shenyan didn't seem to believe his words. Zhou Zhichao smiled faintly and said, "The emperor's nature, can you not understand? You are her Taifu, and you are her uncle, aren't you?"

Zhou Zhichao's unintentional words made Gao Shenyan and the third prince slightly stunned. The two looked at each other, and then politely thanked Zhou Zhichao in a low voice: "Thank you, Zhou Xiang, let's say goodbye."

"Walk slowly!" Zhou Zhichao bent slightly and politely saw them leave. Today is a good day. Gao Shenyan and the third prince walked on the road together. Both of them looked very solemn. Finally, the third prince couldn't help saying, "In fact, it's rare for Li'er to have such a change. Once I They don't even dare to think about half of it, do they?"

"Yes, when the emperor was young, he was indeed bad, but since the death of the late emperor, it really hit her a lot. She has worked very hard to become an emperor, hasn't she? After all, she is alone."

Gao Shenyan sighed and whispered, and the third prince also nodded quickly and said, "Yes, after so many things, the emperor is indeed a benevolent emperor who can take on the responsibility of the Great Jing Kingdom. In fact, as early as the time of the previous emperor passed away, the Great Jing Kingdom had already been shaken by the wind and rain. Now we can see that the country is prosperous and the people are safe, all The emperor's credit, and after all, she is still a child who is less than two years old. People like Hua Feiliu are indeed very constituting ** for her. It is very rational for her to lock him in a cold palace.

"Yes!" The third prince also sighed, and the two looked at each other. The silent silence between the two old friends represented the common voice of the two people. The two looked at each other and smiled, and then said goodbye to their respective homes. However, since that day, the two have never mentioned anything about flowers and willows.

After that, the mission of the State of Qi left, and the prince's centenary was over. The whole Jing Liguo returned to calm. When Jing Li was bored, another person sat there looking at the moon stone in his hand. In this period of time, he had only had a little time to read the relevant moon stone, but unfortunately it was still There is no clue.

Yumo has been much richer and more delicate than before, and the prince has grown very fast. He can smile at all the people. Everything is very calm. Even the ministers in the court seem to be better for Jing Li.

But I don't know why, day after day, month after month, in the two months since the prince's 100-year-old banquet, Jing Li woke up from the dream more and more easily. On this day, she woke up in the dream again, sweating.

Yu Mo, who was lying next to her, immediately got up and gradually got used to her awakening. He quickly got up and poured a cup of herbal tea and handed it to Jing Li. He said with concern, "Your Majesty, have you had a nightmare again?"

"Yes! I don't know why, I've been dreaming of it these days..." Jing Li said here, but suddenly stopped. Yu Mo looked at her worriedly and said, "Have you dreamed of Princess Qingchen again?"

"Yes, I dreamed that she led the army to fight with me again. I was seriously injured and saw that her knife was about to be cut over, but I don't know why, it's the same dream every day, but every time I wake up here, I don't know whether I'm dead or not!" Jing Li muttered in a low voice, and looked at the distance with distracted eyes, which was silently frightening.

Yu Mo quickly put his hand around her shoulder and said gently, "Your Majesty, it's just a dream. Don't think too much. It will be much better to drink some water. Otherwise, my husband will accompany the emperor to the courtyard. It's getting hotter and hotter."

"Yes, it's too hot." Jing Li answered lightly, and then slowly stood up. The two of them came to the courtyard together. The cold wind at night was a little cold. It was supposed to make Jing Li wake up a lot, but for some reason, her heart was extremely uneasy.
