Emperor's Trophy

Empress Dowager Hu sat on a soft low couch with her bare feet on the soft and thick tiger skin, eating grapes while watching the wizard dance in the seat.

The wizard wore very little clothes today, and his whole body was only decorated with countless silver ornaments. On the silver chains surrounding the slender hands and feet, there were bells and countless thin silver tassels hanging down, blocking the key parts.

He rotates slowly with the music, his hands and feet are slender and soft, every part is as if carved from the most perfect ivory, smooth and delicate, his waist is slender, every joint is slightly pink, which makes him wear There is a trace of vitality, not just a dancing jade statue.

What a stunner—it seems that it can be kept for a while, and I haven't felt tired yet. While admiring it, Empress Dowager Hu waved casually, and the music stopped.

The wizard spun into her arms, his face was flushed, and his chest was panting.

Empress Dowager Hu smiled and said, "Tired?"

The sorcerer's eyes turned, like the shattered starlight in the lake, he smiled and said, "Serving the Queen Mother, how dare you say you're tired?"

Empress Dowager Hu caressed him: "I really don't know what kind of parents are able to give birth to a stunner like you. If you are a daughter, I'm afraid it won't be the most beautiful thing in the world."

The wizard said with a smile: "If it is a daughter, it will not be able to reach the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Hu was coaxed happily by him: "Forget it, let's sit and eat some grapes. I'm not in the mood today. Your majesty is fighting with me. It's really a sin."

The wizard said with a smile: "When you grow up, you will always have some temper. The Queen Mother has a broad mind. You must be in harmony with mother and child to work together."

Empress Dowager Hu was silent for a while and said: "In fact, he was quite obedient when he was a child. I don't know why he became more and more irritable, and he always stabbed people's hearts when he spoke. I am his mother, and our Beiqi is not on Dayong's side. A man is a widow, and the more he speaks, the worse he sounds, how can I bear it?"

The wizard said: "Your Majesty is young and energetic, but the Empress Dowager is actually softer, maybe your Majesty will give in instead."

Empress Dowager Hu sneered: "You are worried that my majesty and I are in a stalemate, so you can take it out on your servants? He heard that I ordered his servants a few days ago, so he turned his face and knelt down and asked me to say He is still young, those are all from the fox clan, why is he so eager to declare that he and my mother and son are at odds? But I don’t know that this is what makes those followers feel cold, and it’s just a joke for others.”

The wizard said with a smile: "Since the Queen Mother knows that other people read jokes, why bother to teach others? The Fox clan sent people here specially to support the Queen Mother and the King. The mother and child are in harmony, and the people below are so dedicated to doing errands."

Why didn't Empress Dowager Hu know that she and Yuan Zhao were farewell, and it wouldn't be good to pass it back from the fox clan?After all, they are all her own clansmen, she said: "Every time I hear him speak, I feel weird, sarcasm, and I can't hold back my temper."

The wizard said: "Actually, the queen mother can make some of the king's favorite food and send it over. The king knows that the queen mother made it, so he naturally knows the queen mother's wishes, and it will be fine soon."

Empress Dowager Hu was noncommittal, but looking at the time, she asked the cook in the kitchen to knead the glutinous rice flour and prepare the sugar bean filling. She wrapped a few green balls with her own hands, steamed them and sent them to the king, specifically stating that it was the queen mother. Hand made.

After finishing these things, she raised her eyes to check the time, dismissed the others, and stayed in the room for a lunch break.

The wizard knew that Queen Mother Hu was not allowed to be served by anyone during her lunch break every day, and it was strictly forbidden to be disturbed. She only rested in the room alone, so she quietly walked out and did not go back to the room. He left the palace through the corner gate.

His heart was pounding, and he passed through the streets, but suddenly stopped. A group of nobles stopped him with a smile. He turned around and saw Bai Yuqi on the other side with a few guards blocking him. Blocked in a small alley, two guards came up and pressed him against the wall, took off his silver mask, and grabbed his hair to fix his face.

The young masters smiled and said, "Sure enough, they are good-looking, no wonder they are so favored by the Queen Mother." Then they greeted Bai Yuqi, "Ah Bai! Come on!"

It’s okay to get people to make a fuss and arrest people, but to do this dirty work, you have to let the people of Prince Changguang do it. The Queen Mother will be angry at that time, but they are all members of the Queen Mother’s family, and the Queen Mother will punish them at most. It's not going to be a big deal, it's this slave who did it, and it's up to him whether the king and Changguang Wang Shizi will protect him or not.

Bai Yuqi knew that they were thieves in their hearts, so he could only take out a sharp knife and stepped forward: "You press it! Wait for me to carve a flower!"

The young masters all laughed: "Why do you want me to wait? Hurry up and go to dinner, who has the time to wait for you to carve slowly?"

Bai Yuqi pointed the tip of the knife at the wizard's face. The wizard closed his eyes, his eyelashes drooped and trembled slightly. Looking closely, his face was indeed white and flawless. He was still flushed because of nervousness. He was pressed against the wall and pulled His face was stern, his chest was panting sharply, but he didn't say a word, not even begging for mercy.

Bai Yuqi was secretly admiring her, and clicked her tongue twice: "I'm really pitiful - I said, it's really a bit of a crime, beauty."

The young masters laughed loudly and said, "What's the matter? By the way, I heard that the prince of Changguang kidnapped you back home in the street. I think you also know this well? It's just that there is not much time. Let's wait until this kid places an order, so hurry up and do it." Let's go back."

Bai Yuqi giggled, approached the wizard, and suddenly heard a shout from outside: "What are you doing?"

Okay, Grandpa Fang finally came, Bai Yuqi pretended to be surprised and the dagger fell down with a snap.

The young masters said arrogantly: "Grandpas are doing business, who is making such a fuss here? Get out!"

But Fang Luyun said angrily: "Seeing injustice, you draw your sword to help, don't you have any law here? We have reported to the officials!"

The young masters burst into laughter: "Report to the official! Go and report!"

But Fang Luyun waved his hand, and several bodyguards came up, all of them were tall, they didn't talk nonsense, and they fought into a ball with a few strokes.

Bai Yuqi could only pretend a few times before being thrown aside by Fang Luyun, only to hear someone shouting outside: "It's a fight!"

Bai Yuqi hurriedly said: "It's really not good to see the imperial guards coming in a while! Let's go first!"

Several young masters and attendants were beaten up until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen. Seeing that the situation was not good, they could only say harsh words: "You wait!" Then they turned their heads and left cursing.

Fang Luyun just stepped forward. After being released, the wizard slid and sat under the earthen wall with his face downcast. Fang Luyun asked him: "Are you okay?" Shaking, she raised her face to look at him: "Lu Yun."

Fang Luyun's face was shocked: "Second Young Master!"

The sorcerer paled and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here...why aren't you by Lao San's side?"

Fang Luyun's expression changed: "This is not a place to talk...Second Young Master, you...haven't you been exiled? Third Young Master asked someone to look for you for a long time...Please follow me."

The wizard said: "No, I have to leave the royal city quickly. I...offended the nobleman, and staying in the royal city will be dangerous..."

Fang Luyun said: "Come with me, I have a place to hide you first - I think they just wanted to teach you a lesson, not arrest you, right?"

The wizard shook his head: "I'm leaving the city immediately."

Fang Luyun thought for a while and said: "You come with me first, your outfit...is too ostentatious, I will modify it for you and arrange you to leave the city, don't worry."

The wizard thought for a while and stood up. Fang Luyun took off the cloak on his body and asked him to put it on to cover his face and the snow-white wizard uniform on his body. inside the house.

The light in the room was dark and the corner was remote. Fang Luyun poured hot tea for him to drink. The wizard sat down and felt that the place was secluded and safe, so he was slightly relieved and said in a low voice: "I have to leave the city immediately, delay time The gates of the city must be closed, and you will be implicated when the time comes."

Fang Luyun said: "It is always arranged for you to change clothes, you should take off these silver ornaments first."

A voice sounded behind him: "It's not a trivial matter that can cause a search at the gate of the city. What did you do?"

Fang Luyun turned around abruptly, startled, but remained calm and did not cry out.The wizard turned his head to look, and saw a tall and tall man in the faint light of the courtyard, wearing a brocade fur coat, with a very young voice, but behind him stood a taller and burlier man, dressed as a nobleman from the North Wedge.

He asked in surprise, "Who are you?"

But the man behind him asked Fang Luyun: "Don't you just say that it's okay to do something bad? How did you bring him back?" The wizard suddenly heard his voice, jumped up and looked closely, and saw the blue eyes of the other party: "You are the son of Prince Changguang!"

Jiang Ning just glanced at him indifferently and said nothing, but he reached out to the young man in front of him and made a comforting gesture: "Don't worry, Fang Luyun?"

Fang Luyun bowed and replied: "After being rescued, I discovered that this person is the young old master, the second son of the Linghu family, Linghu Wan. He said that he needed to leave the royal city immediately for urgent matters. The young one felt that it would be easier to bring him back." safe."

Seeing him revealing his true identity to this person so respectfully, the wizard was surprised and suspicious: "Are you Fang Luyun's current master? What's your purpose?"

The young man walked in slightly. The wizard saw that this man was quite young and handsome. He stared at him with shining eyes: "I am Zhaoxin Hou Yunzhen. Linghu Yi has served by my side for many years, and now I am under the Tsingyi Military Division."

Linghu Wan looked up at him, his expression changed: "You are Zhao Xinhou..."

He glanced at Jiang Ning again, very apprehensive, Zhao Xinhou said: "Jiang Ning has been my subordinate for many years, and I treat him like a brother."

Linghu Wan finally relaxed slightly: "I... I was ordered to come here to seduce Queen Mother Hu..."

Yun Zhen looked at him, ordered, whose order?Without a doubt, Ji Huaisu.

In his last life, he didn't know that Linghu Yi had such a second elder brother... They were so beautiful, were they two brothers used by Ji Huaisu in their last life?Unlike, he was by Ji Huaisu's side and knew that Linghu Yi had been looking for his exiled father and brother. Linghu Yi was very cold in his last life, he didn't like it, and rarely had contact with him.

But it is still the same in this life. Linghuyi has been asking someone to look for him, but there is no news. They seem to have died of illness in exile... Was it because Ji Huaisu found out that Linghuyi had been preempted by him, so he used this person?

He continued to ask him: "What did you do to leave the royal city in such a hurry?"

Linghu Wan gritted her teeth: "I was ordered to wait for an opportunity to poison the young master. Today the Queen Mother personally made a snack for the young master Beiqi, and I mixed the poison in it..."

Yun Zhen suddenly turned around and looked at Jiang Ning: "Yuan Zhao can't die yet!"

Jiang Ning said in a deep voice: "I will enter the palace immediately."
