The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 84 Night Party
There were still endless debates in Jiyi Hall, but people were still panicking in Huangji Hall.

The emperor did not speak, and all civil and military officials and their family members did not dare to leave without authorization.It was not until more than an hour later that Cao Lang hurried to the Huangji Hall to announce the decree, and the Longevity Banquet came to an end.

A good longevity banquet, but because of an emergency military situation, it ended hastily.In addition to the fear of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, they also heard that it was Beidi who broke through the Jinlan Pass, and everyone was frightened.

26 years ago, Li Zong ignored the government. With the assistance of Ye Quan, he was in charge of political affairs at the beginning, and was once attacked by Beidi Zeng.

That time, because the Jinlan Pass guards rushed forward greedily, they fell into Beidi's plan to divert the tiger away from the mountain.After Beidi captured Jinlan Pass lightly, he fought aggressively outside the capital. Thanks to the previous Wei Yuanhou, he turned the tide and contacted the troops of King Qin from all over the country to hold back Beidi's momentum.

It took 34 days to exhaust Beidi's army, and finally the siege of the capital was lifted.

After this battle, there were several wars between Dayan and Beidi. Dayan learned from the previous lessons and insisted on sticking to Jinlan Pass, but Beidi was helpless. The border between the two countries has been peaceful for more than 20 years.

Although Beidi was repelled, it left a deep shadow on Dayan.Afterwards, when Beidi was mentioned again, from top to bottom of the Dayan Dynasty, everyone's face changed when they heard about it.

Those who are older in Beijing can never forget the tragedy of 26 years ago.It was early winter, and the weather had turned cold. After being trapped in the city for many days, corpses could be seen everywhere on the streets. After many years, a few dead bones could be picked up suddenly in some secluded corners.

Unexpectedly, after many years, Beidi broke through Jinlan Pass again. This time, Dayan might have to experience another life and death.

An hour had passed since the Lin family returned home, and the Bi family took pity on her daughter and knelt with him for more than two hours. Once they got home, they sent Lin Zisu back to the yard to rest.

Although Lin Zisu was tired, she didn't dare to take a break. Looking at today's situation, maybe Xie Xi would come to harass her again at night.So after washing up early, he changed into light clothes and leaned on the arhat couch to read a book.

Sure enough, as soon as the watch drum rang, Xie Xi, dressed in black, appeared in Lin Zisu's boudoir.

For Xie Xi's arrival, Lin Zisu deliberately sent back Amber and Jade, and opened the window wide.

Xie Xi was taken aback. When he entered the room, he saw Lin Zisu wearing a simple dress, reclining on the arhat couch in the main room, stepping on the bed rails with bare feet, with an indescribable charm .

Xie Xi felt her heart pounding again, and couldn't help swallowing.

Lin Zisu was holding a book in both hands and reading it carefully, and Xie Xi was dressed in black today, so she didn't notice his arrival.

After a few breaths, I realized something was different. When I looked up, I saw Xie Xi's eyes staring at him blankly, which was indescribably weird.

Lin Zisu had never seen this kind of look in Xie Xi's body.

Seeing that Xie Xi was dressed in black, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and she teased: "In the past, His Highness would come and go in and out of my house in a big way, but it's rare to know that he has changed into black."

Xie Xi changed into black clothes on purpose today, but she didn't expect to be noticed by Lin Zisu as soon as she came in, she felt happy, and said with a smile: "It was my king who brought Susu a lot of trouble a few times ago, Hearing that Lingtang thought the house was haunted by ghosts, I feel really sorry, for your peace, I'd better keep a low profile."

After Xie Xi finished speaking, she felt that what she just said didn't seem to be commensurate with her identity, and then she put on a frivolous smile and said: "The people in your mansion are really illiterate, and they don't even think about it. Such a handsome ghost?"

Lin Zisu snorted lightly, but didn't answer.Xie Xi's face was not ugly, but with thick eyebrows and a square face, it could only be considered ordinary, far from being handsome and unrestrained.

Seeing that Lin Zisu was noncommittal to his words, Xie Xi said again: "Susu, you also think that this king is a good-looking talent, don't you?"

His "Susu" was very affectionate.In the past, Lin Zisu heard Xie Xi's yelling all the time, knowing that he did it on purpose, and didn't bother to correct him, but the yelling just now was really ambiguous, so she said angrily: "Your Highness, my servant has nothing to do with you, Let's keep our distance."

Xie Xi smiled and said, "Who said it has nothing to do with it? After today's banquet, Xu Wentao handed over the bet to me."

As he spoke, he took out two banknotes from his sleeve, put them on the table, and said with a smile: "You can keep these banknotes, as if we are partners in this game, this is a dividend for you. "

Lin Zisu didn't believe it, but with Xu Wentao's tough personality, he would never admit defeat lightly.She got up and walked to the table, picked up the bank note and turned it over a few times, and asked, "Xu Wentao actually surrendered?"

Xie Xi stopped laughing and sighed: "I heard that he went to see Father Emperor today and asked to go out with the army."

This is Xu Wentao's style. Lin Zisu thought for a moment, then put the banknotes away, raised his eyes and asked, "The emperor agrees?"

Xie Xi said: "How can I say that Xu Wentao is the precious son of Aunt Yong'an, how could the emperor agree easily? The emperor asked him to go back to discuss with Aunt Yong'an first, but he was reluctant. When I left the palace, he was still with his father. Kneeling at the door of the emperor's study."

Speaking of the army's expedition, Xie Xi told Lin Zisu what he had heard.

The cabinet and generals argued for several hours, but in the end they couldn't decide whether to win or lose. In the end, the emperor was furious, and he personally pointed to Weiyuan Marquis to command the army, and Cao Lang supervised the army. He sent 15 troops and set off soon to help Luyuan.

The emperor spoke well, and the officials naturally did not dare to say more.However, after the cabinet was dispersed, Marquis Weiyuan went to the emperor in private again. He didn't know what he said to the emperor, and the emperor immediately passed out in the study.

A look of worry flashed across Xie Xi's face, and he said, "Cao Shouli recruited the envoy Gong from the imperial hospital to go there with three or four imperial physicians, and there is no news from the palace yet."

Lin Zisu didn't expect such a thing to happen after the Wanshou Banquet ended, so she raised her heart and asked, "Has martial law been enforced in the palace?"

The emperor is seriously ill, Xie Xi, as a prince, is supposed to serve his left and right.Even if the emperor is still unconscious, out of filial piety, he should stay outside the door of the ward and wait for the emperor to summon him after he wakes up. Unexpectedly, Xie Xi came to find him at this critical moment.

Now that the situation is tense, he is really not afraid. Once the emperor dies, will the sky outside the palace collapse immediately?
Xie Xi glanced at Lin Zisu's expression, and said helplessly: "Do you think this king didn't expect that? As soon as I got the news, I rushed to the palace, and was stopped at the gate of the palace, saying that I had agreed with the cabinet and the minister of ceremonies." According to the strict order of the prison, I am a feudal prince who has been enfeoffed, and I am not allowed to enter or leave the palace unless ordered."
