Qingling Punishing Heart

Chapter 299
In the morning, the morning bell rang three times.

The vermilion gate slowly opened, and a pair of official boots stepped into the palace court hall.

Ji Gongyan's eyes were slightly closed, and she sat alone on the high hall, without saying a word for a long time.

Civil and military officials were whispering, all talking about why the queen and the emperor hadn't been seen going to court together recently.

Father Guo Shi took a step forward and said in a loud voice: "Qi Zuo Jun, Lu Yayao Dao has been besieged by the western sects on Lishan Mountain, and he can be executed only after you give an order!"

"Very good, the Taoist's plan is very clever. Six years ago on Chuanyunyan, the sloppy Taoist was so arrogant that he used a doggerel to threaten to destroy the Zhou family. This time, the widow will personally go to Lishan to supervise and kill..." Ji Gongyan glanced at the ministers and asked, "My dearest ministers, what do you think?"

"I think it's impossible!" Xibo Jifu took a step forward and responded, "The Lishan area is close to Xirong. The crusade against the Six Ji Rong has just failed, and the Rong clan's arrogance is in full swing. We must not let the enemy take advantage of it at this time. !"

Yang Ni clasped his fists in both hands, and said disapprovingly: "Your Majesty! The great state of Zhou is mighty, and the Lishan Beacon Tower is full of smoke, and all the princes of the world respond to it. Is a mere army dog ​​not enough to fear?"

"Isn't the grand master preventing you from going out of the palace, does it have other meanings?" Father Guoshi had a sneer on his lips, and said mockingly: "There was an agreement between Xijiao and Chanjiao before, whoever captured Wu Zhiqi would be the one who captured Wu Zhiqi." State religion. Now that neither of the two religions has succeeded, and the interpretation of religion is still the state religion of the Great Zhou, are you afraid that a mere Western foreign teacher will steal the limelight?"

Before Xibo Jifu could respond, Ji Gongyan gave him a sidelong glance, and immediately said: "There is no need to discuss this matter again, I have made up my mind!"

"Your Majesty is a sage!" Father Guoshi looked back and smiled triumphantly at Xi Bojifu.

Xibo Jifu knew that he was still the one who spoke harshly, but the emperor was no longer that well-behaved student in the imperial study. Once he lost the trust of the emperor, no matter what he said, it would be useless.

Li Hongxi stood aside, seeing Xibo Jifu silently retreating, he couldn't help but sighed again and again, he was helpless.

After pondering for a while, Ji Gongyan said loudly: "Guo Shangqing listens to the decree!"

Guo Shi's father took a step forward: "The humble minister is here!"

"Prepare the chariots and horses, I will drive Lishan overnight!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Ji Gongyan turned to Yang Ni: "General Yang listens to the orders!"

"The end is here!"

"The widow orders you to notify the queen the next day, so that she can recuperate in the palace. Before the widow returns to the palace, she must not work too hard, and must not leave the palace for half a step."

"I will understand at the end!"

Yang Ni used the word "understand" instead of "obey".

This detail made Guo Han, who was silent, feel very meaningful.The matter of Jiang Ling's illness after Shen was unheard of by all officials, and Guo Han just found out about it.But Yang Ni didn't even need to ask any more questions, he directly understood the emperor's intention.

Guo Han secretly speculated that the reason why Yang Ni was able to get close to the emperor was mostly because he was shouldering the important task of protecting Baosi, and I heard that the emperor was with Baosi almost every day recently, and he would definitely go with Baosi this time. .As for the emperor's attitude towards Queen Shen Jiang Ling, it has become a mystery.

Ji Gongzhen waved his sleeves, and all the officials retreated.

Before leaving the palace, Guo Han decided to visit the queen's bedroom in person.

If it were another palace, Guo Han could go in generously, but the "Queen's bedroom" is not a place where he can come and go casually, and if he is found, he will be beheaded.Guo Han can only go secretly every time.Walking out of the emperor's hall, Guo Han pretended to urinate urgently and went to the latrine, took the opportunity to shake off the officials coming and going, walked into the imperial garden, and went straight to the queen's bedroom at the end.

In the cold winter season, a heavy snow has just passed.

The palace is covered with silver, and the imperial garden is full of blooming plum blossoms from Aoxue.

The imperial garden is as big as a maze, but Guo Han is familiar with the way, stepping on the thick white snow, and when he walks into a garden full of plum blossoms, he always feels as if there are a pair of eyes secretly watching him from behind.

Accompanied by this strange feeling all the way, Guo Han came outside the queen's bedroom, peeked at the door with his head, and never thought that he accidentally touched the snow on the tree.

Whoa!
"Who is it?" A court lady standing outside the door heard the movement and said loudly: "This is the queen's bedroom, no one else is allowed to enter!"

Guo Han walked out with his hands behind his back, and said softly, "Sister, don't be nervous, it's me..."

"Master Guo?" Seeing Guo Han, the maid not only did not relax, but became more and more nervous.

Guo Han smiled and said: "Sister, it's so cold and you are still standing guard outside, your master is so cruel, why don't you lend me my clothes to warm you up."

The goddess of the palace looked serious, and her expression became more and more serious, "Master Guo, Empress Shen has specially ordered that outsiders are not allowed to enter."

Guo Han said with a playful smile, "I'm not an outsider, and it's not the first time I've come here, so don't be too ignorant."

The maid stopped speaking, her face was expressionless, she stood in front of Guo Han and remained motionless.

Guo Han couldn't help feeling strange, usually he could get in with just a word, but this time it was obviously different.Staring at the closed doors and windows of the bedroom, Guo Han felt more and more that something was wrong.

"If sister refuses to give way, then don't blame me for being rude." Guo Han chuckled.

The maid said: "You... what do you want to do?"

Guo Han smiled lewdly: "You won't let me in, I can only force you to go in..."

Seeing him getting closer and closer, the maid backed away step by step.

Guo Han clung to her body, approaching her step by step, and just about to break into the bedroom, he suddenly felt a sudden hand gently resting on his shoulder.A figure appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

"You can't go in!"

A low voice of a strange boy came from behind.

Guo Han didn't look back, and said in a deep voice, "You were the one who followed me just now. Do you think you can stop me?"

The young man walked slowly in front of Guo Han, with cloud shoes on his feet, dressed in a red dark-pattern robe, with a handsome appearance and delicate features.

Guo Han took a closer look, and the more he looked, the more he felt familiar. The boy in front of him was very similar to the eyebrows and eyes of the child in the portrait painted by Hui Ji, so he hurriedly asked:

"Are you a flower like a wolf?"

"How do you know my name?"

"Your master is Su Ji?"

"Su Ji?" Hua Rulang was taken aback for a moment, feeling that the name seemed familiar, fragments of memories flashed into his mind one by one, his eyes became inexplicably moist, but he couldn't remember the owner of that name anyway, shook his head and said: "I don't know this person..."

Guo Han took advantage of his stupefaction, and suddenly dashed into the bedroom!
Breaking through the door with one foot, Guo Han saw Jiang Lingyi lying on the phoenix couch. For a moment, he couldn't tell what was wrong with his body, but his expression was extremely haggard.Besides Jiang Ling, there was also an old man with a medicine box on his shoulder in the bedroom.

The head of the old man is like a dead head of yellow wax. On his ugly face, there is a deformed one-eyed eye. The nose is small and the mouth is unusually wide, almost occupying half of the whole face. Almost connected to the root of the ear, it is the one-eyed medical fairy!

The one-eyed medical immortal glanced at Guo Han, and persuaded: "Empress Shen, short-term pain is worse than long-term pain, so as not to cause extra problems."

Jiang Ling hesitated for a moment, her eyebrows furrowed tightly, took out a chipped plate, and slowly handed it out.

The one-eyed fairy doctor's eyes lit up, he took the plate excitedly, and rushed out of the door.

Guo Han turned his head to look, and found that the boy in red was nowhere to be found, and asked suspiciously: "Senior sister, why does that one-eyed monster want a broken plate?"

Jiang Ling lowered his eyes and looked very dignified, and said slowly: "It's not an ordinary plate, it's the token of Jujiao Zhangjiao, the Jade Letter of Creation."
