Chapter 488 The Queen is Jade

The capital of Cangqi, Najing.

The evil-eyed man sat quietly on the dragon chair, quietly listening to a courtiers chattering about his harem. The young emperor seemed to give them only an ear. His slender and delicate fingers danced and kept polishing on a piece of jade. The file in his hand kept grinding on the jade. The jade crumbs fell to the ground, crystal clear and moist, which showed that the jade in the emperor's hand was the best jade.

The knife pen was gentle but precise, cutting off the excess jade, and a vivid beauty face gradually appeared in his hand. The corners of his eyes were full of indescribable amorous feelings, but he raised the corners of his mouth, as if mocking these ridiculous people of the world.

"Your Majesty, there must be no queen in the harem." In the end, the old minister of the three dynasties finally survived the quiet emperor and opened his mouth to persuade him.

And the emperor just opened his mouth lightly, and he didn't even raise his eyelids to look at any old minister. Is there still no news from Feng Chao?"

The minister stagnated, "I haven't heard anything about that man."

"Since there is no news from her, then... who will be the queen?" The young emperor looked at the jade statue in his hand lovingly, took a breath, and caresssed the long hair of the stone statue back and forth. "You people, after persuading isolation every day, you know how unhappy it is to let her hear it."

"This... Your Majesty, the establishment is the foundation of a country, and the harem can be stable in the court."

"In that case, dear dear, let's step up our manpower to find that person." The emperor looked up, and a cold look flashed in his enchanting phoenix eyes, but there was always a joking smile on his lips. It was a kind of detache that saw through life and death, and there was also loneliness from the world.

Three thousand weak water, only take a ladle to drink. And his ladle... still has no whereabouts.

"Yunshang, it will be enough for me to accompany you every day in the future." The emperor put the carved jade statue on the other side of his dragon chair. According to the custom of Cangyu Kingdom, that position belonged to the queen.

"Your Majesty, are our troops on the border of the Dafeng Dynasty going to withdraw?"

"No, let's talk about it until we hear from her."

After a few months, the dialogue in the court was so pale and powerless. The newly ascended second prince was indeed a good hand in the country and a competent emperor, but he seemed to be irrational at all about that person.

Four months later.

"Your Majesty." The minister in charge of finding someone burst into tears with excitement, "Your Majesty, I finally got the news about that person."

"Oh?" The emperor raised his eyebrows, and the smoke wave was like water, "Very good. Duke Zhuang of Wei and Duke Mu of Qin, please bother the two beloved ministers to supervise the country for a period of time.

"This...Your Majesty... Are you going to leave the capital?" Wei Zhuang and Qin Mu looked at each other and were shocked. Will the new emperor leave the capital less than half a year after he ascended the throne?

"Well, there is a place, there is someone, and I must bring her back." The young emperor stood up from behind the dragon book case. The thin skeleton did not seem to be able to support this magnificent dragon robe. He poked out his right hand and took advantage of the situation. He would look at the lively jade queen in his hand. "Qin Tianjian checked the recent auspicious day of the zodiac. Dear Qing, prepare to welcome your queen back to the court."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, can we withdraw the border troops?" The war for nearly half a year is really too expensive to consume the treasury and manpower. When the ministers mention this matter, no one is sweating on his forehead and the soles of his feet are cold. A long-term war can definitely drag down a country.

"Huh? That's right!" The emperor patted his forehead and looked at the nonsense minister with great admiration. "What you said makes sense."

"The minister is going to send 800 people to urgently withdraw the cloth army." The minister breathed a sigh of relief.

"No, it is to double the number of troops on the border of the Feng Dynasty."

"Well..."

"What if he doesn't give her to me? Your idea is really good. The queen likes smart people like you.

After a month, Dafeng Dynasty, at the foot of the endless mountain.

There is a low-eaves farmhouse at the foot of the mountain. The bricks and tiles are still new. The dark green emerald bamboo swings back and forth in the mountains. There are people burning incense and playing the piano in the mountain forest. In the shadow of the swaying green bamboo, an open stone cave can be faintly seen. The cave is very secret but can't help the man in front of him. He has been here for seven days. Within seven days, he played the piano day and night, as if he could see the person he couldn't find with the help of this activity.

The night in the forest is dark, the bright moon is hanging in the sky, and someone comes from the depths of the shade in the bamboo forest. When passing by the man of Fuqin, he only looked at him faintly and walked into the farmhouse with the firewood in his arms.

This man's thick clothes made it difficult to cover his general's breath. There was a strong murderous atmosphere on his body for a moment, and this murderous atmosphere came out uncontrollably when he saw the man who was playing the piano...

This man is Lu Shen.

In the farmhouse, someone opened the window, picked up a bamboo pole and hung the buds under the eaves. He looked out and sighed, "Second brother, are you really going to ignore this person?"

"Why should I care about him?" Lu Shen was cutting vegetables and the kitchen knife was waved up and down. Lu Jin looked at the vegetable leaves everywhere, "Are you going to exile him like this?"

"Brother, haven't you forgotten the predicament when we were forced into the cave? At that time, all of us were on the line, but what about him? Where is he happy again? The more Lu Shen said, the more angry he became. He raised the kitchen knife in his hand high. One of them didn't hold the right strength, and the handle of the knife flew out.

"Second brother, you are also the one who leads the army to fight. How can you only see the reason on the surface and inside like ordinary people?" Lu Jin sighed, "Do you still think that Feng Ziqi suddenly withdrew at that time was still a trace of pity and unbearance for Yunshang in his heart?"

"I should have told you that he is a cold-blooded emperor and a ruthless man. He only has Jiangshan Sheji in his eyes, and he is not the same person as the stupid man playing the piano outside." Lu Jin's eyes were a little deep, "He is the really poor man."

"Is he pitiful? Isn't Yunshang pitiful?" Lu Shen, who picked up the kitchen knife, was furious, and his loud voice could almost collapse the farmhouse.

"If Yunshang is here, she will definitely not feel that she is the most pitiful." Lu Jin sighed and took out something from his arms, "Look at it yourself."

After Lu Shen looked carefully, the blood on his face faded, almost leaning against the table. "I never thought Feng Zixiang would do this."

"Lu Shen, you have never ignored your wife, and you don't even know anything about her connection with the enemy. Is it possible that Yunshang will be counterattacked by her in the end without any responsibility of you?"

"Who turned this out?" Lu Shen didn't understand, "Didn't Feng Zixiang be crowned as a princess after her death? How can anyone be so bold to hold her accountable?

"This is the brilliance of Yunshang. You and I didn't notice the little wind. Before her accident, Huang Baiju and Yimo had been asked to trace the details of Feng Zixiang secretly. As for what made you trapped in the city at that time, she also contributed."

"What's the benefit of her doing this?"

"Maybe... she thinks that only doing this can make you bow to her." Lu Jin looked at him with a sympathetic look, patted his brother on the shoulder, and his eyes fell on the man who stroked the piano outside the window. "Go ahead, no one will feel good when he looks like this."

Lu Shen was silent for a moment and finally stepped out.

"Lian Zhun. Yunshang left a sentence for you when he was about to leave. You... follow me." Lu Shen's eyes fell on the man's fingers that had begun to drip blood, and his heart couldn't help moving. The man, who used to be evil, became so silent that he seemed to have no soul.

"Thank you very much." He put away the piano and played the blood beads on the strings.

"What did you just play?"

"The noble concubine is drunk." Lian Zhun followed his steps between the black and white bamboo forest. "It's a song I listened to that she sang. It was very beautiful and sad."

Between the dark caves, a roundabout and long way, Lian Zhun felt the coldness around him as he walked. It seemed that some voices around him were reminding him of the pain they suffered and the despair of life and death at that time.

On the wall, there is a crooked and engraved handwriting.

"Three thousand mentally retarded and weak water, one ladle to wash white hair. Half a lifetime of frivolous guests, half a lifetime of waiting under the spring. Her slender fingers stroked the raised stone carvings, and the concave and convexes were full of her helplessness and deep missing at that time.

"Waiting for you under the spring." Lian Zhun's eyes gradually overflowed with tears and wet his butterfly-like eyelashes. "Is she waiting for me?"

"Until the last minute. She believes that you have your pain when you don't come, and she has never complained and never resented you. Lu Shen's voice was also a little hoarse, as if he was forcing his feelings that were about to collapse.

"The endless cave seems to have a very special meaning to her. I even thought... There is actually a cave at the other end of the cave. It's a place that you and I can't reach. But it's where she should go. Lian Zhun's face was getting worse and worse, and his fingers, which were engraved, were also bent. Suddenly, he bent down and coughed violently. Lu Shen was shocked. Through the moonlight, he saw the blood overflowing from Lian Zhun's lips, which made this deceptive face more enchanting and evil.

"Lian Zhun, you..."

"In the world without her, there is no attachment to the world, can it?" Lian Zhun didn't care and wiped the blood stains on his lips. "I think you and I feel the same, otherwise you won't be here, will you? General Lu Shen is in good spirits.

"I'm not here, and I want to live in peace." Lu Shen glanced at him and said, "I, Lu Shen, is an indomitable man, and I won't give up the mission of defending my family and country because of my son and daughter's affair."

Lian Jun smiled and said, "Cough, you're right. I should learn from you." His expression suddenly became solemn, "But Lu Shen, you underestimate me too much."

Lu Shen has never seen such a serious Lian Zhun.

He really looks like a king at this moment.

"I won't let my people fall into a deep war, if..."

"What if?" Outside the cave, a third person's voice suddenly came.

"Who is it?" Lu Shen was shocked. He was so immersed in the conversation with Lian Zhun that he didn't even notice that at least a dozen people had gathered around him. Listening to the footsteps, they were all masters with internal strength. And the footsteps of only one of them were slightly heavy.

And the king's domineering spirit also came to his face.

Lu Shen's hand pressed on the hilt of the sword at his waist and was ready to go at any time.

"Lu Qing, you are so free here." Someone opened the bamboo door, and Feng Zifeng stepped in and looked around. His eyes darkened. Lu Jin had already greeted him from the inner house. "I don't know your majesty is here. Please forgive me."

Feng Ziqi replied casually, "Why do you worry about Aiqing? I'm just casual..." His voice suddenly paused, and his eyes stopped coldly on the door. There are three big words written there.

"The return of the dead cloud."

Passing clouds, passing clouds, when will you return?
