emperor cold concubine

Chapter 177
Biyue's expression was extremely weird, asking Cangyue, a high-ranking prime minister and the prince of one of the nine kingdoms, to go to Jiuluo to fill the harem for their empress?Thank goodness she figured it out.

Xie Changting's expression was calm, and he shook his head calmly, "Xie is really not talented in fighting for favor, if Master Mo is really interested, if you don't send the owner of Fengyilou in, the effect will surely satisfy you unexpectedly. "

As soon as the words fell, no matter how Bi Yue and Su Mo reacted, they reached out and took the remaining duck on the table, and threw it towards the roof like the wind like an electric shock.

In other words, the few brothers on the roof followed all the way here from Cang Yue, and the order they received was to capture Su Mo alive. Since they were captured alive, naturally the closer they were to their own territory, the easier it would be for them to do so.So, after quietly drugging the three people's food, they stayed on the roof to blow the air, waiting for the three people in the room to exert the effect of the medicine, and then they could be at their mercy. The thin black clothes Unable to resist the bites of mosquitoes, the man in black was so bored that he almost fell asleep. At this time, a big hole suddenly opened in the roof, and the bodies of the four fell straight down like a kite with a broken string. There is no time.

There were a few loud noises, the sound of a gigantic object falling to the ground, accompanied by a plump and fresh meat drunk duck, which raised a few traces of dust, and Biyue couldn't help frowning her beautiful eyebrows.

"My lord spent a lot of money to buy that duck. If you don't eat it, you can leave it to me and my master. It's delicious, but you wasted it for nothing." Biyue looked distressed, stared and thanked Chang Ting looked up at the huge hole on the roof again, and raised his eyebrows again, "I will tell the innkeeper that Mr. Xie needs to pay ten times the money for the damage to the house."

"Biyue, can you be a little smarter?" Su Mo lazily sighed, "I clearly saw that the hole was made by these four uninvited people in front of you, and you don't want to kill outsiders. But it is so stupid to ask Changting to pay the money, no wonder it can only be Yue Xiao's bodyguard."

Jiyue Villa's financial resources span the nine countries, and Fengyilou's influence spreads all over the world. Wherever there is a villa's property, there is Fengyilou's power. Apart from their own responsibilities, they also want to provide shelter for Jiyue Villa.

Therefore, Bi Yue called everyone else by their first names, but only called Yue Xiao Young Master.

Bi Yue snorted coldly: "You may not be able to save your life, so how can you have the money?"

The four people who had already jumped up from the ground stood stiffly in a corner of the room, covered in black with only two empty dead fish eyes exposed, perhaps the senses of the dead men had already realized what a dangerous situation they were in. Under the circumstances, Yi didn't dare to act rashly for a while, but was secretly on guard.

"Bi Yue, ask who they are? What is the purpose of following us all the way?"

Do I still need to ask?Hasn't this issue been discussed just now?
Bi Yue curled her lips, thinking about it, she still asked the question to the four people as Su Mo said.

The four of them were silent, they looked at each other, they didn't know what information they exchanged, the moment Biyue's voice fell, they suddenly appeared like lightning, and rushed towards Su Mo, the four of them shot at the same time, they had a tacit understanding.

Su Mo slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea. When the four of them approached her body, she suddenly threw the teacup in her hand, and there were four loud sounds of "bang", "bang", "bang" and "bang", and the cup hit four times in a row. There was a sound from the hard forehead of the person, and then the cup fell to the ground and broke into pieces, and the four people stepped back dozens of steps before stabilizing their bodies, took a deep breath, and found that apart from the pain in the head, No other internal or external injuries.

The same blood flowed from the four people's covered foreheads into their eye sockets, which seemed shocking.

Su Mo showed his hand lightly, and ignored them. Instead, he looked at Xie Changting and said lazily, "Changting, will the princess of Jiuluo be very powerful?"

"Although Jiu Luo is a queen, she is not respected by women. Princesses who do not inherit the throne can only be given marriages like ordinary royal princesses. Except for the title of princess, they have no real power, and because of their surnames, they are not even as good as those of other countries. The princess is majestic and honorable." Xie Changting frowned and explained carefully, he just ignored the murderous intent gradually emerging from the dead eyes of the four people, "After the princess is married, the son-in-law is not allowed to be an official in the court. , the next generation born will completely break away from the status of the royal family, and will not have any titles or rewards from the royal family other than having a fairly wealthy birth."

"What about a man?"

"Princes do not have the right to inherit the throne, but their status and power are much greater than that of princesses. Excellent and favored princes can follow their mother's surname, can be named kings as officials, and can also lead troops in battle. If the queen favors them, the throne can also be hereditary."

"It's a very strange rule." Su Mo lazily concluded, "The queen's power is supreme, but she suppresses the other princesses to the utmost. Men cannot inherit the throne, but they can be crowned kings and ministers, and enjoy all the honor of the royal family... The empress who founded the country didn't know what was going on in her head? After setting these rules, do you want women to be more dignified, or do you want men's status to be more stable?"

"Actually, there's nothing strange about it." Xie Changting said, "Men are generally strong and knowledgeable, and they must be much better than women in governing the country and the world. Besides, they don't have the right of inheritance. Even if they hold more power in their hands, the Queen They will not be too scrupulous. On the other hand, women are delicate and have no strength to restrain their hands. Even if they learn martial arts, they are not as good as men. They have never learned the art of war since they were young, and they don't know anything about leading soldiers. The empress on the high place speaks her words, she is so majestic, and she has yearning in her heart, but once she holds a lot of power, she will easily develop the ambition to rebel and seize the throne."

"In this way, she is still a wise and great founding queen." Su Mo smiled faintly, "However, who said that even if women learn martial arts, they are not as good as men? Changting, do you despise women?"

On this point, Biyue was obviously on Xie Changting's side, and said with a smile: "A woman as skilled as the last master, in the nine kingdoms of the world, including those small subordinate countries around the world, I will never find a woman .”

Su Mo snorted coldly: "Sycophant." After a pause, he continued: "At the beginning of the founding of Jiuluo, a man was also the emperor, and later because the emperor had no children, the queen succeeded him. And after all, the time is not very long. Why don't the princes have the heart to seize the throne? Presumably it is not too incredible to restore male rule, right?"

"Jiuluo is the only country that has a high priest. Since the first generation of queen came to power, I don't know why. Maybe the queen reached some agreement with the original high priest and held some ceremonies of giving and receiving the destiny, so that the later generation When it was handed down from generation to generation, many people subconsciously believed that the queen's rule was an arrangement of the heavens, which should not be violated easily, and anyone who dared to defy the law would be severely punished." For the long-standing Jiuluo royal family that has not been recorded in detail in the history books Secret, Xie Changting obviously does not have the ability to predict the past and divination the future. Many of the statements are hearsay. Of course, you should not believe them all. They are just for reference. Those who marry have already lost their innocence, and the Priest Palace will not recognize an unclean person as Queen Jiuluo, so after each queen succeeds to the throne, she will quickly arrange the marriages of all her compatriots and sisters. Since then, the possibility of succeeding to the throne has been lost. And because of the reason of the priesthood, men are often punished more severely than women for rebellion, and under normal circumstances, no one dares to try the law."

"What's the difference between succession before marriage and succession after marriage?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow, "After becoming a queen, you have the right to enjoy the Sangong and Six Courtyards. Before you succeed to the throne, you must keep your innocence. What kind of broken rules are these? Ancient emperors got married Afterwards, successors abound, so why can’t it be the woman’s turn?”

Xie Changting said indifferently: "This may be related to the status of the man they marry. The princess' consort can only be the son of an ordinary official or the young master of a wealthy family. The concubine is not eligible to be an official in the court, nor can he be named a concubine, so we married. The princess is not qualified to be the emperor, and the empress has a noble status, so the husband-in-law she chooses is also high-ranking and powerful."

"Eh?" Su Mo suddenly raised his eyebrows in surprise, and looked at Xie Changting, "In this way, Cang Hao unified the Nine Kingdoms, and Nine Luo is still a problem. What should they do if they swear not to be ruled by men?"

"Master Mo doesn't need to worry about this." After saying this lightly, Xie Changting looked at Biyue and said, "People in the Jianghu have a lot of tricks, and the four of them have stayed here long enough. Lord Feng intends to let them continue to stay?"

Wind landlord?Su Mo frowned, "So Biyue, your surname is Feng?"

Bi Yue's complexion changed, and her eyes stared at Xie Changting momentarily, "How does Mr. Xie know?"

Xie Changting said indifferently: "There are only things in this world that Xie doesn't want to know, and what he wants to know will naturally be known."

The four people over there listened to their conversation as if there was no one else there, secretly startled, and also keenly felt their extraordinary abilities, and retreated inexplicably in their hearts, but they knew that the princess's order could not be disobeyed, and they would leave even if they wanted to. no.

Biyue was silent for a moment, and didn't pursue this issue anymore, instead she said angrily: "Compared to tricks and tricks, a person from the royal family like Mr. Xie should be no less."

It seems that people in the Jianghu must be very mean-spirited and deep-minded... Although this is indeed the case, how else can they survive in the Jianghu where life is so trivial, and even look down upon others?

"There's no need to ask, they can't answer any questions anymore." Su Mo squinted at Xie Changting, and snorted, "When did you see that this girl has a reason to keep people alive after making a move?"

Sure enough, as soon as the words fell, the sound of the four corpses falling to the ground was heard, causing Bi Yue to raise her eyebrows.
