Phoenix that can't smile

Chapter 33 Framed
The spring scenery is sultry, and the smoked wind blows through the thin curtain of pearls, blowing the incense of the evening sun into Minggong's heart.

"Your Majesty, are you going to sleep outside the Nuan Pavilion of Jianjiaxuan today?" Mingong's personal maid, Xinyue, lightly stepped forward to give her a blessing, and asked softly.

"Well, Xinyue, let's do it this way, you help me tidy up the imperial couch." Ming Gong immediately nodded absent-mindedly.

"Report to Your Majesty, sir Lu Kailu, please see me." Before Minggong finished speaking, suddenly the little Dezi came in slowly and knelt down to report.

"It's so late, what's the matter, let him come in and wait." Mingong waved his sleeves annoyedly.

After a while, Lu Kai came to see his majesty in a ghostly manner, and shouted long live three times. "Excuse me, Lu Kai, do you have anything important to say at this late hour?" Ming Gong asked with a frown.

"Your Majesty is overjoyed, Mr. Dutu has made great progress in finishing the defense at the border, and has established a line of defense across the mountains!" Lu Kai said with a beaming smile.

"Oh? Qu Tu really lived up to my expectations, Lu Kai, do you know why I didn't let you go to the border, but sent Cheng Rong? It's because you are sensible, and I can't leave you for a while." Ming Gong let out a long sigh.

Lu Kai rolled his eyes and felt that Ming Gong's words were ambiguous, so he couldn't help asking tentatively: "The king knows people well, and the king is in the world. Is there anything wrong with it?"

"What do you mean by that?" Mingong couldn't help shaking his head, feeling that he had betrayed himself.

Lu Kai appraised the decorations in the palace vigilantly, and suddenly asked in a low voice, "My lord, won't you let Mrs. Bao go to bed today?"

Ming Gong's complexion changed, and he quickly said, "It's better not to ask about it."

Lu Kai had an idea in his mind, and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, what kind of problem did you encounter, why not ask this minister, maybe this minister can help the King to satisfy his wishes."

When Ming Gong saw what Lu Kai said, he couldn't help frowning, and told Lu Kai everything about Jian Jiaxuan.It turned out that ever since Minggong took Baosi back to Jianjiaxuan, he had always loved Baosi like a treasure and obeyed everything. After leaving the court that day, Minggong came to Jianjiaxuan refreshed, but They found Baosi timidly kneeling outside the threshold of Jianjiaxuan, holding a dagger in his hand.

Minggong panicked immediately, and immediately ordered Xinyue behind him to snatch the dagger from Baosi's hand, then hugged Baosi and comforted him, "Si'er, what happened to make you so sad, when you get angry If you get sick, why don’t you tell the widow about the grudge in your heart, maybe the widow can help you.”

Bao Si burst into tears and said: "A Si can't repay the king's kindness, but Ah Si also has an unspeakable secret, and she must not sleep with the king. If the king insists on forcing Ah Si, Ah Si can only die. Mingzhi!" After finishing speaking, Baosi kept grabbing the dagger from Xinyue's hand, Minggong felt as if a knife was twisting in his heart, and comforted Baosi with kind words: "A Si, you are the concubine of the widow, how can you resist not serving me? where to sleep?"

Bao Si whimpered and said, "Your Majesty, please trust Ah Si, please give your Majesty some time to forget the grudges in your heart, and then obey the order."

Hearing this, Lu Kai couldn't help being surprised and said: "My lord, has Madam Bao not been in bed yet?"

"That's right, Baosi fought to the death that day, I was afraid of hurting her, so I agreed to her request, I can only accompany her every day, but I can't sleep with her!" Mingong said distressedly, covering his head.

"Hahaha, you don't have to worry about this king, this humble servant will make a little plan to make the king happy!" Lu Kai couldn't help laughing.

"What? Does Lu Aiqing have any good ideas?" Mingong looked longingly at Lu Kai, Lu Kai cupped his hands, took out a bottle from his sleeve, and placed it in front of Mingong.

"What's the meaning of Aiqing?" Ming Gong looked at the bottle carefully for a while, and asked in surprise.Lu Kai attached Minggong's ear to his ear, and whispered, "Please ask the king to send his confidants to order this in your mother's drinking utensils."

"Bastard! How can I do such a vile thing? Where do you let my face go? Lu Kai, needless to say, even if I put my heart into melting Baosi every day, I can't be so unscrupulous!" Mingong suddenly became angry. said angrily.

Lu Kai blushed immediately, and hurriedly cupped his hands: "Your Majesty is really a hero, I feel ashamed, but I want to remind you that the person who untied the bell has to tie the bell. Your Majesty, Your Majesty can only speculate about the knot in Empress Bao's heart."

"Okay, my widow understands, you go down." Mingong waved his sleeves with a bitter face, and he sat down on the couch in a sullen mood, staring at the dim light of the Nuan Pavilion through the tent.

"Axi, what's the matter with your master? As the saying goes, there are three thousand people in the harem, and it takes a lot of people to die to get it. Now the king only favors her, but she wants to be like this. From the perspective of the harem, it's just I don't know what is good or bad, the king is angry, and sooner or later he will be murdered, you must put your heart in front of your master!" Lu Kai had just left the palace, when he saw the flustered Ah Xi, he stopped immediately and persuaded him earnestly .

Ah Xi frowned, and quickly responded: "Master, don't worry, this servant knows what to do."

As soon as Lu Kai left, Axi rushed into the Nuan Pavilion. Seeing that Baosi was dressed in beautiful clothes, she was leaning on the window frame in a daze, so she tiptoed to Baosi, and said with a grin: "My lord, Are you groaning without illness again?"

Bao Si was taken aback, pinching A Xi's face with his hands and teasingly said: "Damn girl, come to scare me again, I don't think I'll tear your mouth off."

Axi said happily: "My lord, Axi is not afraid of making jokes, but my lord has made me suffer so much. Look at you and the king, one is sighing outside, and the other is frowning inside. What kind of acting is this? It's not like you don't know the king's intentions."

"Okay, Axi, I understand that the king is indeed very kind to us, but I am afraid that I will harm the king."

Bao Si stared at the lively sparrows on the tree outside the window, in a daze.

"Does anyone really believe this rumor?" Concubine Jin, who was aloof in Chonghua Palace, stared at An Zhen with a dignified expression, and asked softly.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the rumors are very true. There are many rumors in the palace. I believe the King will know soon." An Zhen said with a strange smile.

"Well! I have already asked Taishi Ling. During the Xia Dynasty, there was indeed such a legend about a demon girl. Now it has been hundreds of years, and the date is just right. Besides, the enchanting Daji who destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties was born in the past. It is also so favored by King Zhou, I think Baosi is the reincarnation of that Daji, sooner or later she will be the scourge of subjugation and ruin!" Imperial Concubine Jin gritted her silver teeth fiercely.
