Today, Na Sheng was not in a good mood. When he came to Fengyi Palace, he had a cold face and murderous intent all over his body.
The eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt on the ground, a little frightened.
Seeing that Ye Chuyan was not in the room, Na Sheng said solemnly: "Where is the queen?"
A young eunuch said: "Go back...back to the emperor...the queen is practicing in the back garden..."
In the past few days, the queen has been practicing in the back garden of Fengyi Palace every day, and she doesn't like to be served by too many people. When practicing, she only takes Dong'er, a palace maid, with her.
They found it incredible at first.
The queen of a country doesn't like to be cheered in front of her, but she still needs to learn kung fu.
However, the emperor had no objection to this. On the contrary, he was very happy. When he went to court, he often came here to give advice.
Everyone stared in surprise.
Today, the emperor is filled with murderous intent for some reason, yet he comes here and asks questions knowingly.
Na Sheng lifted his legs and walked towards the backyard of Fengyi Palace.
When he left the room for the first time, all the palace slaves in the room felt that they could breathe easier.
Everyone prayed secretly in their hearts that the Queen must not offend the Emperor today. They did not want to be caught and fed to tigers.
Na Sheng walked to the moon gate of the back garden and saw Ye Chuyan from a distance wearing a black training uniform, standing in the open space in the garden, seriously practicing the boxing technique he taught her. The murderous aura in him immediately disappeared a lot.
He stood there, stared for a while, and left silently.
※
Ye Chuyan practiced extremely seriously. It took her several days of practice to discover the subtleties of this boxing technique.
Even if you don't have internal strength, it is quite useful to practice. However, in just a few days, my breathing has become significantly calmer and my body has become much more agile.
Dong'er watched with a smile on her face.
Ever since she came to Fengyi Palace and followed the Empress, she didn't have to worry about being caught and fed to tigers, and the Empress never lost her temper with the palace slaves.
People in the harem knew that she was the queen's personal maid, and they all nodded and bowed when they saw her. She had never been so proud in the palace.
She fell more and more in love with this empress who was smart and unfazed by honor and disgrace.
Seeing Ye Chuyan stopped, she hurriedly ran up and handed over the handkerchief.
"Queen, please rest for a while and I will serve you tea."
Ye Chuyan looked up at the sky, the sun was scorching hot.
The weather in Beirong is really weird. It's already September. After a rain, these days are not only not cool, but even drier.
She felt a little sticky on her back and wanted to go back and change her clothes.
"No, I won't practice today. Let's go back."
Ye Chuyan returned to the house and asked the palace people to prepare fragrant soup, and she took a comfortable bath.
After bathing, I had just put on my clothes, and before I had time to dress up, a young eunuch hurried in to report.
"Empress, Concubine Ying's personal maid wants to see you."
"Concubine Ying?"
She said that day that people from the harem were not allowed to disturb her, but Na Sheng came here frequently in the past few days, and no one among the concubines dared to even take a step closer to Fengyi Palace.
Why did a concubine's personal maid suddenly appear and want to see him?
"Let her in."
Since you dare to come to me boldly, there must be something important.
Soon, a little palace maid with delicate features and full of tears came in.
As soon as the little palace maid came in, she knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Greetings to the Queen."
"Queen, I beg you, please save my master..."
Ye Chuyan was puzzled.
"how do I say this?"
The little palace lady's eyes turned red, "The emperor is playing games in the imperial garden, and my master is also there..."
Before she finished speaking, the little palace maid burst into tears.
She was afraid of bumping into Ye Chuyan and hurriedly wiped her tears with her sleeves.
Dong'er was twisting Ye Chuyan's hair. When she heard this, her hands trembled unintentionally.
She was most afraid of hearing people in the palace say that the emperor was playing games.
No matter what game the emperor plays, it always ends in the most cruel killing game.
Ye Chuyan noticed that Dong'er's hand trembled, and with her understanding of Na Sheng, she could probably guess that it was definitely not a good thing for Na Sheng to play games with the concubine.
"What game is the emperor playing?"
The little palace maid suppressed her fear and trembling, and said with a promise:
"The emperor called all the masters in the harem to the imperial garden. He blindfolded himself and played hide-and-seek with the concubines. Any master caught by the emperor..."
Ye Chuyan stood up suddenly.
"Say it!"
When the little palace maid saw Ye Chuyan's phoenix eyes, she was so frightened that she trembled.
"Any master caught by the emperor will have one finger cut off. Which finger will be cut off will be decided by drawing lots..."
"The Emperor just caught my master and asked him to draw lots..."
Ye Chuyan's face was filled with coldness, he raised his legs and walked out.
Dong'er exclaimed from behind, "Queen...you haven't pulled up your hair yet..."
In the palace, seeing the emperor with disheveled hair is a serious crime and should be punished.
Ye Chuyan ignored Dong'er's call, let the little palace maid who was reporting lead the way, and walked quickly towards the imperial garden.
As soon as she entered the imperial garden, she gasped.
On the bench in the pavilion, two trembling concubines were sitting, leaning against each other.
The other concubines were standing outside the pavilion, lined up in two rows, all of them had pale faces, as if they were mourning their heirs.
Sitting on the stone bench in the middle of the pavilion was a concubine who was wearing a peach colored top with dark flowers. She was very tall and graceful. Her right hand was placed on the stone table, and her whole body was shaking like a sieve.
Ye Chuyan speculated that this person was the concubine Ying mentioned by the little palace maid.
Na Sheng sat aside, holding Concubine Ying's little finger in his left hand, and holding a short knife in his right hand, with a look of pity on his face.
Just as he was about to strike, Ye Chuyan shouted: "Your Majesty, please wait!"
Na Sheng turned his head and saw Ye Chuyan slowly stepping forward.
Wearing a light green misty butterfly skirt, she had just finished taking a shower, without any makeup, and her hair was draped behind her like lotus leaves after the rain, fresh and pleasant.
He narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Ajin, why are you here?"
Ye Chuyan took a breath, stepped forward, and saluted Na Sheng.
He said calmly: "Your Majesty, you said that I am the queen, and the concubines in the harem should be under my control."
Na Sheng nodded in agreement, put down the knife and released his hand.
Concubine Ying was so excited that she had tears in her eyes.
However, in front of Na Sheng, she did not dare to move or make a sound.
Ye Chuyan looked around at the concubines inside and outside the pavilion, and said loudly: "I have something to discuss with the emperor. You all should step aside."
These concubines wanted to disappear on the spot. After hearing this, they saluted and ran away crawling on the ground.
When everyone was gone, Ye Chuyan sat where Concubine Ying was sitting just now and put her right hand on the stone table.
The plain hands and pure white jade table blend into one, which is quite beautiful.
"If the emperor likes to cut off people's fingers, then cut mine. My right hand is not enough, I have my left hand."
Na Sheng picked up Ye Chuyan's right hand and looked at it carefully.
"Ajin, how could I be willing to cut off your finger? I'm just in a bad mood today, so I just wanted to play a game to cheer me up."
Ye Chuyan raised his eyebrows, pretending to be surprised.
"The Emperor is also in a bad mood?"
Na Sheng said quietly: "Of course. I am a human being, so I naturally have joy, anger, sorrow and joy."
Ye Chuyan was so angry that he wanted to laugh.
If Na Sheng understood joy, anger, sorrow and joy, he wouldn't kill people all day long for fun.
"The emperor is not in a bad mood, he did it on purpose."
"Forcing me to come to the Royal Garden as a queen and save these concubines."
"Wouldn't the Emperor find it boring to use a trick twice?"
Na Sheng pinched his eyebrows and sighed.
"Ajin is so smart. Now that he has seen through it, he will never play such a game again."
He looked up at Ye Chuyan and suddenly said:
"I just got some news."
"It's about Dafeng and Pei Xiuyan."
Ye Chuyan had no reaction.
"Aren't you curious?"
Na Sheng felt that Pei Xiuyan forced Ye Chuyan to go barefoot and killed her whole family. Ye Chuyan did not kill Pei Xiuyan, and the revenge was not successful.
When you hear the news about him now, you should be so excited that you want to pull out his muscles and bones.
Unexpectedly, she was indifferent.
Ye Chuyan just raised his eyes slightly, with a calm expression on his face.
"If you are willing to tell me, I will listen. If you don't tell me, I won't be curious."
The matter about Dafeng and Pei Xiuyan must be a matter for the court, so whether Shengshi is willing to tell him or not depends entirely on his mood.
Her curiosity and excitement were completely useless and would only make Na Sheng amused.
Na Sheng said slowly: "I never expected that Pei Xiuyan and Pei Ye were fighting fiercely. After they knew that I sent a large army to suppress the situation, the two of them actually stopped fighting in a tacit understanding."
"Pei Xiuyan stayed in Jucheng, and Pei Ye didn't take the opportunity to send additional troops to deal with him."
"Pei Ye transferred all the 200,000 troops originally planned to destroy Pei Xiuyan to the Dafeng border."
"General Shen of Dafeng is leading his troops to confront Beirong's troops, waiting for the 200,000 troops to come over for reinforcements."
"Once these 200,000 troops are in place, I have almost no chance of winning."
It turns out that this is the reason why Na Sheng is in a bad mood, because the invasion of Dafeng will not be successful for a while.
Ye Chuyan felt inexplicably relieved.
No matter how Pei Xiuyan seized power, he still wanted to protect the territory of Dafeng and did not take the opportunity to stab Pei Ye in the back. For this reason, he was worthy of the ancestors of the Pei family.
Na Sheng stared closely at Ye Chuyan's face and found that Ye Chuyan was not surprised or disgusted when he heard Pei Xiuyan's name, and even felt a little relieved.
I couldn't help but ask, "Don't you hate Pei Xiuyan?"
Ye Chuyan shook his head, "I don't hate it anymore."
She didn't know when she started not hating him.
Perhaps after knowing that Pei Xiuyan might be the real emperor, the education she received since childhood was that the Ye family must be loyal to Dafeng in life and death and must not regicide and treason.
Maybe he had exhausted all his hatred after killing him countless times.
Maybe after deciding to be reborn, I missed Wu Mu more than anything else. I pretended to love her in my heart, and I no longer pretended to hate him.
No matter what the situation was, when she thought about everything she had with Pei Xiuyan in the dead of night, she felt as if she was a world away.
Even a little ridiculous.
The love-hate relationship between her and Pei Xiuyan started with wrong love and ended with wrong love.
In the beginning, she fell in love with Pei Xiuyan by mistake and sacrificed everything.
Later, it was Pei Xiuyan who fell in love with her by mistake and sacrificed everything for her.
Now, no matter who sits on the throne of Dafeng, as long as it can protect the safety of the people of Dafeng, this is a good thing for the people of Dafeng.
Na Sheng frowned and thought for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled.
"I once said that I would make you forget the person you hate. It seems that I succeeded."
"Right now, all you can think about is how to escape from me. It seems like all you have in mind right now is me."
Ye Chuyan was already used to Na Sheng's ability to make strong arguments.
"If you tame me, will you kill me like you killed that horse?"
Na Sheng asked back:
"Ajin, you are my queen and my beloved, why should I kill you?"
Ye Chuyan held a gun and a stick and said: "I can't bear the emperor's deep love."
"I loved her so much that I was forced to kill people all day long. She also forced my soul to be transferred to her, and she forced me to stay alive at the cost of a pregnant woman."
That day she figured out what kind of person Na Sheng was, but she didn't understand the matter of soul transfer.
Na Sheng was just cold-blooded and ruthless, not stupid.
The Soul Transfer Technique is something that many emperors have dreamed of obtaining. Why didn't he save it for himself to use when he was old, instead of wasting it on a prey he wanted to conquer?
Na Sheng leaned forward and stared at Ye Chuyan's eyes for a moment, his face thoughtful.
"So Ajin doesn't believe in my sincerity?"
"I'll take you to see something, and you'll understand."
A cold-blooded demon wants to prove that he has a heart?
Just thinking about this makes me feel horrified and weird.
Ye Chuyan, full of doubts, followed Na Sheng all the way to the Leopard Tail Hall.
Na Sheng dispersed all the eunuchs and maids in the hall, and in front of Ye Chuyan, he twisted a luminous pearl on the wall of Leopard Tail Hall, and the east wall of the hall slowly opened from the middle.
A deep and dark secret passage was revealed.
Although Ye Chuyan was mentally prepared, he was still a little sad.
The last time Na Sheng took him into the secret passage, he burned his body.
This time, I don’t know what he will take me to do.
Na Sheng caught the sadness in Ye Chuyan's eyes.
He lifted a palace lantern with his left hand and held Ye Chuyan's hand with his right hand, "Don't worry, I won't let you kill anyone today."
