moonlit night

Ever since Lin'an found two masters for Feng Guan'er, and then went to Bai Yujing to teach every few days, the days in the Hall of Taishi became more and more lively.

Fangzhou behaved quite well,

He has always been cautious in his words and deeds, except for what should be taught, he will never talk too much about Feng Guan'er.But Li Yuan is different, from time to time he teases this one, teases that one, planting a few acacia trees in Taishi Hall today,

Tomorrow I will bring some peonies to Mr. Yuqing, the basic teaching is false, but flirting is true.

But who told him to change all the food he brought and make it all delicious?

Albizia julibrissin can be used in tea, peony flowers can be used to make cakes, and Feng Guaner eats to his heart's content, so naturally he has no time to find out what Li Yuan is really thinking.

But although Feng Guan'er was happy, naturally, some people were not happy.

Zhao Ya has been dissatisfied for a long time with the fact that Li Yuan can enter and leave the Hall of Taishi at will.

As for why he is dissatisfied, it is naturally because Li Yuan's words and deeds are insignificant, not only his words are frivolous, but he also likes to spend time in the study, making unreasonable comments on the affairs of the six realms, which makes the gods have to be distracted by him.

Seeing that Prince Yaohua's sentence was approaching, that day, Zhao Ya went to the study to find Lin'an for this matter, and wanted to ask him for an idea on where to execute the sentence.Li Yuan happened to be there at that time,

There was no movement in the house, and the deity only cared about himself with his official documents, obviously unwilling to pay attention to him.

Seeing this scene, the cotton that had been stuck in Zhaoya's heart for many days finally loosened a little, and he felt indescribably happy.He finished greeting as if nothing had happened, and was about to ask the gods for instructions, but suddenly felt a hot gaze on his face.Although that gaze was harmless, Zhaoya never liked being stared at, because whenever this happened, it would inevitably bring back the unbearable memories of his youth.

So he raised his head and looked at her proudly, trying to force that gaze back.

Li Yuan did not retreat, not only did not retreat, but also took a few more careful glances, and said seriously:

"In my opinion, your Taishi Palace should be renamed Guanghan Palace."

Lin'an didn't look up, nor said anything.How could Zhaoya allow him to humiliate the god, but he said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Li Yuan counted with his fingers: "One or two, both have ice faces. After staying here for a long time, even I feel cold all over, shouldn't it be called Guanghan Palace?"

"Presumptuous." Zhao Ya said coldly, "If you don't want to stay, you can leave, no one forces you to stay here."

"But I'm willing to stay here, and you can't force me out." Li Yuan took a sip from his teacup and suddenly laughed, "Xiao Xianjun, I have observed carefully, in fact, you should laugh more than the gods Laugh. He looks cold. When he is not smiling, he really has a special flavor, which makes people itchy. But you have a pretty face, and your cold face is too rigid. You still look better when you smile, making people want to hug you tenderly .”

Zhao Ya didn't expect that he would dare to say such a stupid thing, he still said it in front of the god, and didn't know what to say in order to stop him.Blushing with anger, she froze in place, but Li Yuan seized the opportunity to tease her: "Yo, you're blushing. How about I get you a mirror and see for yourself, doesn't it look much better this way? "

Lin'an didn't raise his head: "Eat your tea."

"Oh." Li Yuan sat back and obediently shut his mouth, but his eyes were not honest, he watched Lin An's movements with a smile.

Lin'an finished approving the last stroke, put the official document in hand on the top of the stack on the far right, and then looked at Zhao Ya with concentration: "Say it."

"Yes." Zhao Ya seemed to have taken a reassurance, "My God, everything has been prepared for thunder punishment, only the execution ground has not yet been determined. There are not many places where thunder punishment can be used in Jiuchongtian. According to the identity of His Royal Highness , there are only two suitable places, one is in the suburb of Baiyu, and the other is in Ziweitian. Mr. Lei would like to ask you, where should we choose?"

The punishment had not been fixed before, Zhao Ya thought that Lin'an would pick Yaohua's immortal bones, demote him to a mortal, and suffer from eternal reincarnation.Unexpectedly, in the end, it was decided that the five thunders would strike.

This meant not even giving him the chance to reincarnate as a mortal, but directly calling him out of his wits.

Five thunders strike the top, and the execution is like a thousand calamities added to the body. The degree of pain is no less than being crushed alive, so the star king and above generally do not set this punishment.The gods sentenced Prince Yaohua to this punishment. It can be seen that he intends to completely eliminate the unhealthy practices in the heavenly court.

It seems that the God Venerable doesn't care about the old relationship with the late Fairy Queen at all.

"Stay away from Xuanxiao Palace," Venerable Silver Crown said indifferently, "I don't want to hear crying."

"Yes." Zhaoya said again, "The Hall of Taishi is located at the junction of Baiyujing and Ziweitian. The execution ground in Ziweitian is not too far from the Hall of Taishi. Thunder can be heard."

Lin'an didn't say a word, just gave a soft "hmm", apparently not paying attention, then took another official document and flipped through it.

"You said you didn't want to hear the crying, did you feel guilty and pity the Emperor's family, or did you warn them not to even cry?"

Zhao Ya was about to leave, when he heard Li Yuan's question, he stopped, wanting to hear Lin An's answer.

In fact, he shouldn't have guessed the mind of the god, but what Bi Yuan asked was exactly the question in Zhao Ya's mind.

"Nothing to do with you."

"It has nothing to do with me, but I'm curious." Li Yuan, who was lazily sitting cross-legged on the stool, straightened his waist now, "Actually, when I look at that Dijun, I always feel that he is not as simple as he appears on the surface. From the fact that he allowed his subordinates to hunt and kill indiscriminately, to interfering with Master Siming Xingxing's writing of his fate, and even silenced when things were revealed, it can be seen that he is actually quite conceited, and he is by no means as tolerant as he appears on the surface."

Speaking of this, Li Yuan turned his head and glanced at Zhao Ya, as if asking him if what he said was right.Zhao Ya desperately hoped that he would look away from him, so he gave an ambiguous comment: "No one can sit in that seat easily."

However, in his heart, it was extremely rare to agree with what Li Yuan said.

"That's not bad." Li Yuan leaned forward, "I don't know how he ascended to the position of Immortal Emperor, but if you look at his inconsistency, you will know that virtue is not worthy. What kind of great merit that has benefited the six worlds can be chosen as the successor by the gods?"

Lin'an was still writing official documents, without saying a word, but the tip of his pen paused slightly.

Li Yuan still leaned forward, as if he had to wait for an answer today.

The two stalemate for a long time, Zhaoya sees that Lin'an has no intention of opening his mouth, so he takes the initiative to explain to Li Yuan for him: "In the past, the sky pillar collapsed, the sky cracked, and the goddess sacrificed herself to mend the sky and scattered the world. Before dying, get rid of this The first part of the merits of the creation of the world was given to her husband. So after the deity abdicated, her husband became the most virtuous person in the six realms who is most qualified to ascend to the throne of God."

"Oh, it turned out to be based on the position on the soft rice." Li Yuan had a sudden understanding expression, "No wonder there are so many moths, I understand, it seems that one's own country really has to be fought by oneself in order to know how to cherish it. "

But then, he said meaningfully: "Then I want to know even more, what is it like to surrender the country that I have conquered to others?"

It was only now that Zhaoya realized that something was wrong. Could it be that the demons saw something and were motivating the gods to tell the truth?

Although everyone in the world knows why the Immortal Emperor ascended to the throne today, the reason for the deity's abdication has never been known.There are different opinions about this in the Six Realms, but until today, it is still a mystery.

Li Yuan actually tried to unravel this mystery.

Thinking of the see-saw-like silence between the two before he came in, Zhao Ya felt that it was really stupid of him to answer for the god himself.He was about to explain to Lin'an that he didn't do it on purpose, but when Venerable Silver Crown finally put down his pen, his tone was still not salty.

"It's time, you should go to teach." He said, "You all go out."

Obviously he didn't take it to heart, and he didn't intend to answer Li Yuan's question.

"Okay." Li Yuan jumped off the bench and waved his hands, "Xiao Xianjun, let's go together."

Zhao Ya obviously wouldn't go with him, they just went out together, and then quickly parted ways.Seeing him avoiding himself like a god of plague, Li Yuan shook his head, then walked to the small kitchen with a stove, picking and choosing from piles of ingredients, thinking about what he should teach Little Phoenix to do today.

I never thought that there would be so many articles about cooking a meal.

Li Yuan hummed a ditty to get the ingredients and packed them according to the amount. But when he opened one of the jars to scoop the soup, his eyes froze for a moment, he quickly closed the lid of the jar, and called the fairy maid who was in charge of taking care of the ingredients today.

"This cup of hibiscus dew, has anyone touched it today?"

"No," said the maidservant without hesitation, "no one approaches here today."

"That's weird." Li Yuan wrinkled his nose, and then waved his hand: "Forget it, it's okay, you can go to work."

Not long after Zhao Ya left the study, he bumped into Feng Guan'er who had just changed into a brand new dress.In the past month, Feng Guan'er had to change into a new dress every two or three days, more frequently than in the past year.Every time I see Zhao Ya, I always come to pester him and invite him to taste my newly learned dishes.

In recent days, it is often pan-fried hibiscus meat.She liked it very much herself, so she decided that Zhao Ya would like it too.

Today is no exception.

Ever since she saw Fang Zhou's beautiful appearance in the wedding dress in Dragon Palace, Feng Guan'er couldn't help but fantasize about what she would look like if she also wore the wedding dress.She also asked Fangzhou what it was like to marry someone she liked. Fangzhou smiled softly and told her that she would feel that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Feng Guan'er also wanted to be the happiest woman in the world, so she entangled Zhaoya more and more tightly.She knew that the other party didn't like her, but she believed that as long as she persisted, one day, she would make him fall in love with her.

But Zhaoya obviously didn't think so, every time he saw Feng Guan'er from a distance, he would avoid it in advance.If you really can't avoid it, you never give it a good look.Feng Guaner invited him to eat, but he didn't taste a sip. When he asked him if the new clothes looked good, he didn't comment at all, and treated him completely coldly. He believed that as long as he persevered, one day, Feng Guaner could completely give up.

If it was an ordinary time, Feng Guan'er wouldn't mind much.But today, before she saw Zhao Ya, she caught a glimpse of Rong Yan's maidservant passing by the gate of Tai Shi Hall, and she even took a few glances inside, obviously wanting to find out the situation of the enemy.

At this moment, Zhao Ya walked towards him.

Just in time!

So Feng Guan'er warmly greeted Zhao Ya, hoping to let Rong Yan see how united and united the Taishi Hall was, and would never give her a chance.Unexpectedly, Zhao Ya didn't look sideways, as if he didn't see her at all, and immediately turned and left.

He was like this every time, the fool knew what it meant, and made her lose face in front of Rong Yan, Feng Guan'er couldn't help but feel disheartened, didn't even want to go to class, and ran towards the kitchen angrily go.

Zhao Ya wanted to avoid her, so naturally he would not go in the same direction as her.He avoided it in a hurry, turning around several walls before slowing down a little bit, while walking, he looked back to see if Feng Guan'er had caught up.He didn't pay attention, but at the next turn, he collided head-on with Li Yuan who was also hurrying.

His chest was hot and humid, and he was sprayed with water all over his body.

It's really a narrow road.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Li Yuan hurriedly took out a silk cloth to wipe it for him, but was thrown away by Zhao Ya, and he immediately became unhappy: "I'm sorry, the lid of the jar in my hand was knocked off, That's how it spilled all over you. But my jar doesn't have eyes, and neither do you?"

Zhao Ya has always disdained to argue with others, and he didn't intend to care about such a trivial matter.After he shook off Li Yuan, he wanted to turn around and leave, but unexpectedly, he heard the other party's rude words, so he couldn't help turning his head around, and shouted coldly:

"Who are you scolding for not having eyes?"

"Who else is there besides the two of us in this place? If you say you don't have eyes, you really don't have eyes." Li Yuan also sneered, "Forget it, look at you in such a hurry, what happened?"

Zhao Ya hurried to inform Mr. Lei that he didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, and turned around to leave, but was stopped by Li Yuan again.

"Wait." The young demon said, "You don't think there is anything wrong?"

After he reminded him, Zhaoya felt that the front seemed to be chilly. Looking down, he found a big hole in the front of the priest's uniform, and it was still expanding.

Li Yuan's gloating voice came from beside his ear:

"Look at your front skirt is almost burned, the person who poisoned you is really ruthless."

Zhao Ya's expression turned serious, and he repeated: "Poisoned?"

"That's right, I just found out in the kitchen that someone dared to poison His Highness Taishi." Li Yuan raised the jar in his hand, "Guess, they want to poison Little Phoenix to death, or Venerable God?"

"Shen Zun has never eaten five grains, and his five senses are keen, so it is impossible to take the Tao lightly." Zhao Ya thought about it seriously, "But the Goddess is not taboo about meat and vegetables, and she is not so careful. This poison is colorless and odorless. If it is really mixed She may not be able to find out when the dishes are brought to her table."

"That's exactly the reason." Li Yuan nodded, "If I hadn't discovered it earlier, Little Phoenix would have died. She likes to eat this most recently."

"Who do you think it could be?"

"I don't know." Li Yuan shrugged, "But no matter who it is, if it really wants to harm Little Phoenix, if it doesn't work this time, there will always be a second time. We just wait on the sidelines, and you should be careful, don't let others see your flaws That's it."

Zhao Ya's eyes flickered for a moment, and he suddenly rushed to Li Yuan and stretched out his hand: "Leave it to me."

"Do you know who it is?"

"I don't know," Zhao Ya frowned, "but I don't want to wait."

As the leader of the Six Realms, the God Venerable did not know how many enemies he had made in the past, but there were not many who dared to blatantly make enemies with him.Seeing that the sentence was approaching, no matter how stupid Zhao Ya was, he could guess who most hoped that something would happen to the Hall of Taishi.

Once something happened to the God Venerable, he would naturally not be able to take care of the sky prison.On that day, whether they want to rob the execution ground or change the death row, it will be much more convenient.

Even if it wasn't caused by Xuanxiao Palace...

Zhao Ya has always wanted to find out the true attitude of the gods towards the emperor.Previously, Li Yuan made unreasonable comments on the emperor, but the god didn't say anything to defend him. I'm afraid he had the intention of eradicating him long ago, but it was just inconvenient to do it because of old feelings.

Since it is inconvenient for him to do it, I will do it for him.

The next day was the day when Prince Yaohua performed the punishment of thunder.Zhaoya took a food box early in the morning and went to Xuanxiao Hall.At that time, the gate of the palace had just opened, and the little Jinjia who guarded the gate saw him, flinched, and then went in to communicate.Zhao Ya followed him to the Immortal Emperor, saluted respectfully, smiled a little after getting up, and then explained his intention:

"This morning, the Goddess personally made the fried lotus meat, and asked the god to taste it. After the god tasted it, he thought it was good, so he specially sent an official to send it to the emperor to have a taste."

"Oh, the god is too polite. Thank you priest, please put it on the table."

Rong Yan came to pay her respects from Ziyan Palace, just in time to see the maidservant took the lotus meat out of the food box, put it on a plate, and held it carefully in front of the emperor.She could see clearly, and was terrified in her heart. She lost her grip on one of her hands and broke the teacup that the fairy maid had just brought up.

That thing... how could that thing appear in Xuanxiao Palace?

What was even more frightening was that Zhaoya raised his head to look at her when he heard the sound.Those eyes were dark, unable to see the light, Rong Yan couldn't see through, but she subconsciously felt that he knew everything.

"Zhaoya has seen the goddess."

"It turned out to be Priest Zhaoya." Although Rong Yan had ghosts in her heart, she still pretended to be calm and asked knowingly: "It's cold today, and my hands are numb from the cold all the way here. I don't know if the priest came here on purpose. , why?"

After finishing speaking, she seemed to have just seen the lotus meat in the hand of the fairy maidservant, hurriedly leaned forward, and said curiously:

"Hey, what is this? It smells delicious. If father doesn't mind, can you give Yan'er a taste?"

Before she finished speaking, Rong Yan couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks, and she was about to pick them up, but her hands were suddenly empty.

The chopsticks have been taken away by the Immortal Emperor.

"Father," she tried to be coquettish, but her palms were covered with cold sweat, "Yan'er wants to try it too."

"I don't understand the rules." The Immortal Emperor put the chopsticks aside, and shook his finger at Rong Yan, "This is a gift bestowed by the gods as a father. It is a great honor. You are not good enough to eat."

After speaking, he put a piece into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it.

"Father!" Rong Yan was so angry that tears almost fell down, she hurriedly turned her head to Zhaoya and said in a trembling voice: "Father has already tasted it, you can go back and return to life."

But Zhao Ya was unmoved: "The god has ordered that this lotus meat is a good thing, and the officials have to watch the emperor eat it all before going back to return."

"you……"

"Okay," the Immortal Emperor smiled reassuringly, "Yan'er, don't mess around. This food is delicious. If the god wants to eat it for my father, just eat it for my father."

"cocoa……"

Rong Yan couldn't say the word "poisonous" in it no matter what.Otherwise, he would still burn himself and implicate his father.

In a short while, the Immortal Emperor ate the remaining pieces of hibiscus meat like a storm.After eating, he licked the oil stains around his mouth, and said happily to Zhaoya: "Remember to tell the god, I like it very much."

Zhao Ya nodded, took back the food box, and bowed again: "I will take my leave."

It wasn't until the young priest completely disappeared that Rong Yan hurriedly took out the pill from her bosom and brought it to the Immortal Emperor's lips: "Father, take it quickly, this pill can delay the onset of the poison in your body, Yan'er will definitely find an antidote for you, so you won't suffer from this torment."

Unexpectedly, the Immortal Emperor pushed her hand away, and said with boundless anger, "You did it? You want to harm the god?"

Rong Yan hesitated, nodded with tears in her eyes, and still tried to deliver the pill to the Immortal Emperor's mouth: "The effect of the medicine will take effect soon, please take it quickly! Yan'er, please take it quickly!"

"Confused!"

"Yes... it's all because of my daughter's confusion." Rong Yan raised her hand and slapped herself across the face, sobbing with red marks all over her face, "Father... please accept it quickly. When you recover, daughter... my daughter is willing." accept all punishment."

"That's all." The Immortal Emperor sat down slumped, his gray hair became more and more disheveled, but he waved his hands and said: "Forget it, it's all right, for the father to understand the god, he won't really die for the father. Did you see that, the little priest said Acting according to the order, but he did not hold the token of the god, so it can be seen that it is a false will. When the god finds out, he will save me. You don't need to worry about this."

"Ke Yan'er... I can't put you in danger."

"If you don't enter the tiger's lair, how can you get tiger cubs?" The Immortal Emperor looked into the distance, as if in a daze, "The god still has doubts about being a father, if you can take this opportunity to dispel his doubts in one fell swoop, it will be great for the father. , couldn't be better. It's just..."

He suddenly stopped talking, for a while, only the sound of Rong Yan's weeping could be heard in the huge palace room, and after a long while, there was a faint and indistinct groan.

"It's just that...he killed Hua'er, which is equivalent to digging out my heart." The emperor slowly fell on the sapphire steps, his words filled with infinite sadness, "A woman cannot be an emperor, if she is a father in the future... what will happen, I don't know This ten-thousand-year foundation...who should be handed over to?"

Blood gushed out of his mouth, gradually staining the blue steps red.Rong Yan rushed forward, hugged the Immortal Emperor's twitching body, and shouted in despair: "The emperor has been poisoned, go find the Yaoxian, go, go!"

"Who says women can't be emperors?" She leaned against his ears, her voice was still trembling, but she was extremely firm, "Father, even if Hua'er is gone...you still have me."

Not long after Zhaoya walked out of the Xuanxiao Palace, he saw Zhanling standing in the sunlight with his fists folded on his chest, looking at him while chewing the Drunken Dream Pill.That look made Zhaoya invisible, as if he was in front of him.

"Where's the brand?" Zhan Ling asked from a distance.

"what brand?"

"I've seen it, but you don't have a brand." Zhan Ling approached, "It can be seen that you are not ordered by the gods."

"The favor must be repaid, and the debt must be repaid. Either don't do it, or do it." Zhaoya said coldly, "The god saved me from danger, and I should relieve the god's worries. Immortal Zhanling, what's the problem? ?"

Zhao Ya stared at him, condescending: "Haven't you ever thought about what the god will do to you when he finds out?"

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ya turned around and went back to Taishi Hall.He never looked back, so he couldn't see that the expression on Zhan Ling's face was complicated and difficult to distinguish, between pity and anger, maybe even Zhan Ling himself didn't know which one was more.
