Of course Rong Ling didn't believe that Emperor Wen of Zhou loved him so much. This man is an emperor, and no matter what he does, he has his plan.

After thinking for a while, she refused aloud: "Your Majesty, you are worrying too much. The ministers and concubines are very comfortable in Biluo Palace, and there is no need to mobilize so many people to build a building."

However, Emperor Zhou Wen didn't listen to her words: "My concubine never smiles all day long, how can I ignore it, don't worry, this building will only belong to you in the future."

It seems that he didn't ask for his own opinion at all, but just let him know. Rong Ling didn't bother to say, "It's just as long as His Majesty is happy."

She conveniently picked up the pineapple cake on the table, and began to eat it in small bites.

Emperor Wen of Zhou looked at her fondly, making Rong Ling feel a chill.

It's a pity that without Su Xuxu, Bai Yelian doesn't have much spiritual power left,? She must use it sparingly, otherwise Rong Ling really wants to create another illusion to let Emperor Wen of Zhou fend for himself.

Luckily, Emperor Wen of Zhou couldn't do anything else. After staying in Biluo Palace for lunch, an eunuch rushed in to report: "Your Majesty, Lord Chen, Minister of the Ministry of War, is asking to see you in the imperial study."

Emperor Wen of Zhou, who was originally calm and calm, got up immediately, and told the servant girl in the room: "I have to take a step ahead, and you will serve my concubine Haorong."

"Yes..." The maids responded in unison and sent him out respectfully.

Rong Ling also stood up lazily, patted the pastry crumbs on her skirt, and bent down to salute: "Regardless, Your Majesty..."

Emperor Zhou Wen stretched out his hand to straighten the red hairpin on her head: "My concubine, don't worry, I will give you the best in this world."

When he said this, Rong Ling felt even more wrong.

It's just that after saying this, Emperor Wen of Zhou turned around and walked away. Rong Ling didn't have time to see what his expression was like. It's hard to guess what Emperor Wen of Zhou was planning.

Emperor Wen of Zhou acted resolutely, and after just one day, the imperial decree was sent to the Ministry of Industry, ordering the craftsmen in the palace to build a star-picking building where you can pick stars with your hands.

For such a huge project, the craftsmen in the palace are not enough.

What's more, it was estimated that real money like flowing water would be needed to build a building. The Minister of the Ministry of Industry boldly rejected the order of the Holy Majesty, but was severely reprimanded, and had to go to the people to recruit craftsmen.

The always wise and sage emperor suddenly became fatuous. For a while, rumors spread everywhere, whether it was the palace or the people, saying that the concubine Rong, whom Emperor Wen of Zhou accepted, was the reincarnation of the vixen Daji. He confused His Majesty's mind and wanted to overthrow the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Even Emperor Wen of Zhou was privately described as the reincarnation of King Zhou.

Rong Ling didn't go out of the gate, and he didn't hear these gossips, but he lived in peace.

Except that Emperor Wen of Zhou occasionally had to take her around the construction site of the Zhaixing Building, and vividly described how prosperous the place would be in the future.

Rong Ling couldn't figure out what his intentions were, so he had no choice but to remain unchanged.

It was New Year's Eve in a blink of an eye, even if Rong Ling lived in seclusion, he still had to dress up to attend the palace banquet.

Today, Liufang took extra care to pull up Rong Ling's fluffy black hair, put it in a golden step, and finally carefully dotted flowers between her eyebrows with a mixture of cinnabar and gold powder.

Not only that, Liu Fang began to trace the shape of her lips meticulously.

Even if Rong Ling was the one sitting still, his neck was a little sore: "Enough, why is it so grand?"

Liu Fang's hand that traced her lips trembled, and the stroke was crooked, and Rong Ling quickly wiped it off and refilled it: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I will draw it for you right away."

Rong Ling didn't notice her abnormality, but thought it was the little girl's first New Year's Eve banquet and she was too nervous.

Packed up, it's finally time to go out.

In order to celebrate the festive season for the emperor, ministers and harem concubines, the dinner was specially set after the sun went down, and the lanterns were first lit. Lanterns were hung everywhere in the palace.

Rong Ling walked towards the main hall where the dinner was held, and unexpectedly bumped into an acquaintance.

It was Rong Qingshan who came to the banquet with the courtiers.

What Rong Qingshan wears today is not a vermilion official gown, but a bamboo blue gown. Among the elderly ministers, she stands out very much, causing countless court ladies to peek at her with blushing cheeks.

She is tall and slender, with a handsome physique, and she has a bit of carelessness. No wonder she has been disguised as a woman for so many years, let alone outsiders, and even her own sister has never noticed it.

Rong Ling's eyes flicked lightly, and he originally planned to pretend not to see and walked over, but Rong Qingshan suddenly turned his head sideways, and his eyes just met her.

Rong Qingshan's eyes dimmed, and the corners of his lips raised a sarcastic arc: "I have seen Concubine Rong."

Originally, according to the rules in the palace, courtiers did not have to salute concubines below noble concubines, and Rong Ling didn't know what was wrong with Rong Qingshan, so he even spoke to himself in full view, afraid that others would not know whether he knew her or not?

Rong Ling slandered like this, and nodded slightly: "Master Rong is too polite."

After finishing speaking, he went straight past her and walked towards the main hall.

Naturally, Rong Ling didn't see it, Rong Qingshan fell on him behind him, with dim eyes.

Rong Qingshan stood there for a long time, until Rong Ling's figure was covered by others, and then she started walking again.

A lot of people had already come to the hall. Amidst the hustle and bustle, as soon as Rong Ling walked in, the eunuch who had been serving the emperor all year round rushed forward and said, "Your Majesty, your majesty ordered that your seat be closest to him."

Seeing that he was old enough to stand there waiting for him to come, Rong Ling thanked him: "I'm sorry..."

"Your Majesty, what are you talking about?" The eunuch wiped the sweat from his forehead, "It is the blessing of the servants to serve you."

Before he finished speaking, someone next to him snorted softly: "The demon concubine is a disaster for the country..."

Rong Ling paused and subconsciously looked over, the person who said this was an old minister.

The eunuch quickly blocked her sight: "Ma'am, this is Lord Yushi..."

"So that's how it is..." The corners of Rong Ling's lips rose, "The words of Lord Yushi reminded me of a sentence."

"As the saying goes, it's not easy to shake a tree. If a mere demon concubine can bring disaster to the country, you courtiers just take your salary and don't work?"

"You..." The lord Yu Shi didn't expect her to retort, and he blew his beard and stared at him with anger. Just as he was about to argue, another voice rang out: "It seems that Sister Concubine Rong is offending Lord Shi. Apologize to her first."

The woman's voice is clear and crisp, like broken jade.

Before Rong Ling turned his head, he could feel the reaction of the Baiyelian on his body.

Su Xuxu was born in the Su family, and she was pregnant with a dragon seed, so she was naturally the number one virtuous concubine in the eyes of the censor.

Seeing Su Xuxu pleading for Rong Ling, his face softened and he didn't say anything more.

Su Xuxu liked to be a good person, so Rong Ling let her do it, and walked straight to her place without looking back.

Her position is placed on the left side of the dragon chair, which is enough to see the favor of Emperor Zhou Wen.

The symmetrical position on the right is reserved for Su Xuxu who is pregnant.

The latter moved slowly, with his hands on his stomach, walking towards the dragon chair.

"Heh..." Concubine Li covered her lips and smiled lightly, "It's really equal."

This small smile entered Rong Ling's ears, she glanced lazily at Concubine Li, picked up the grapes in the crystal plate and put them in her lips to taste slowly, not bothering to answer.

The courtiers and concubines gradually came together, and Emperor Wen of Zhou appeared in the hall.

Today, he was dressed in gold, imposing and majestic, standing in front of the dragon chair without anger and majesty.

All the people in the hall saluted in a crowd: "Join Your Majesty..."

"Everyone is flat..." Zhou Wendi said in a loud voice, "Today is New Year's Eve, the monarch and his ministers are having fun together, so you don't have to be cautious, just drink with your heart."

"Yes……"

After speaking, everyone sat back in their seats.

The singer in the middle of the main hall came on stage, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras was endless, and the dancers in thin clothes circled and danced, adding to the fun of tonight's banquet.

Rong Ling casually ate melon seeds with one hand on his head, only thinking about when he would be able to finish and go back to sleep.

"Could it be that my concubine doesn't like this dance?" Just as Rong Ling was falling asleep, Emperor Zhou Wen's voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"The concubine is just a little tired." Rong Ling yawned.

During the days when she was with Emperor Wen of Zhou, she sometimes had to use lily lotus to perfunctory her. It was obvious that her aura was exhausted, but in the eyes of others, she became excessive indulgence.

"Don't worry..." Emperor Zhou Wen whispered to her, "After the good show is over, Aifei can sleep peacefully."

Rong Ling inexplicably felt that this sentence was a bit strange, she frowned slightly, and before she could say anything, a palace guard rushed in from outside, breaking the happy and peaceful atmosphere in the hall: "Report—"

"A rebel army suddenly attacked the city outside the imperial city, and they are coming in the direction of the main hall."

As soon as the guard's words fell, the ministers present refuted: "How is it possible, the imperial city is heavily guarded, how can outsiders break in?!"

But as soon as he finished speaking, someone realized: "The soldiers who have returned to the capital have not returned today?"

As soon as these words came out, the hall fell into a deathly silence, and then there were ministers whispering, most of the female family members present paled, with panic on their faces, you look at me, I look at you.

Emperor Zhou Wen's complexion was uncertain, with a sneer on the corner of his lips, and his eyes shot at the officials like a falcon.

Rong Ling has lived for several lifetimes and has never seen a scene of rebellion, but he became interested and waited for the reaction of everyone in the audience.

Her appearance really looked like a demon concubine who was afraid of chaos in the world, which deeply hurt the eyes of some people.

"Your Majesty..." someone stood up first, "Your Majesty dares to guarantee with his life that General Li will never do such a treacherous thing."

"Oh..." Emperor Wen of Zhou said unhurriedly, "Then tell me, what is he doing?"

The man gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind: "General Li's move is entirely on the Qing emperor's side."

When he said this, his eyes were not on Emperor Zhou Wen, but on Rong Ling.

Even if Rong Ling didn't understand the struggle between the party and the subjugation of dissidents, he instantly understood what Emperor Zhou Wen had done in recent days.

It turned out that everything was in his calculations, setting traps, and worried that the rebels would be suspicious, so he created the illusion of indulging in sex, which not only relaxed the vigilance of the rebels, but also pushed himself to a high position that attracted the attention of the rebels, so as to give the rebels An excuse for an outbreak, and finally took advantage of this New Year's Eve to catch a turtle in the urn, and wiped out the leader of the rebel army and his insiders in the court.

Sure enough, this person took the lead, and some of the sitting officials also knelt down in the center of the hall.

Even more brave ones directly pointed at Rong Ling and cursed: "Your Majesty, this woman is really a demon concubine. If you don't destroy her, there will be endless troubles for our Great Zhou Dynasty."

It's a pity that they cooperated internally and externally, and they sang together, but they didn't know that everything was under Zhou Wendi's control.

Rong Ling's eyes gradually became colder, and the toothpick in his hand was inserted violently every now and then? He fiddled with the flesh in the crystal dish, not knowing who he took them for.

The ground of the hall began to shake slightly, and the cavalry of the rebels stepped on the center of the imperial city, charging towards the direction where everyone was.

Tonight is New Year's Eve, and the Great Zhou Dynasty has been prosperous for a long time. During the festive season, the guards in the palace will inevitably slack off. In the blink of an eye, the sound of screaming and killing has been heard.

In the long silence, Emperor Wen of Zhou finally said, "Really, among all of you here, who else thinks so?"

The rest of the ministers remained silent. Even though Rong Ling was indeed a demon concubine in their view, this was not the reason for the rebels to attack the city, let alone execute her for this reason.

"Very well, it seems that Gu is indeed on the side of Qing Qingjun."

After all, Emperor Wen of Zhou clapped his hands, and before the dozen or so ministers kneeling in the hall pointed their spears at Rong Ling, a few men in black suddenly jumped down from the beam.

The blade was as thin as silk, and in the blink of an eye, they cut their throats.

Those ministers didn't realize what happened until they were about to die, so they fell straight on the gorgeous carpet.

The blood smeared on the ground, and the smell of blood instantly filled the nostrils. The court ladies and nobles who had never seen such a scene screamed, but they were covered by the roar of the rebels in an instant.

The main entrance of the main hall was wide open, enough to see the huge crowd of people in the flames, and they were about to rush over to make a surprise attack, but the Ouchi guards who were hiding on the city wall and the main hall suddenly appeared and took the bows and arrows they had prepared.

The arrows flowed like flying, hitting the horses and the soldiers on their backs, causing them to fall down one by one without any defense.

General Li, who took the lead in the front, realized that he had been tricked. However, he was unable to turn back due to the front and rear attacks.

After all, he came from fighting on the battlefield, and in the end he still escaped these hidden arrows, and finally led the remaining hundred or so people into the palace.

It was just a few hundred people in the area, and they were quickly subdued by the guards and military officers in the palace.

The leader of the rebel army who was still full of blood just now turned into a prisoner kneeling among the corpses in an instant.

Rong Ling realized that this was what Emperor Wen of Zhou was talking about.

He obviously had a great time watching it, and then he slowly stood up from the dragon chair: "General Li, please stay safe."

"Bah!" Li Juan spat, "The insidious villain, the dignified emperor, can actually plot against people."

"Successful and defeated, General Li, why bother to talk about this." Zhou Wendi waved his hand, "Take him to the sky prison, so that he can serve General Li for a living, and ask him who is behind his accomplices."

Obviously, the only way to welcome Li Juan is torture to extract a confession and the last dead end.

Rong Ling lowered his eyes, looked at the man who was about to be dragged away, and shook his head slightly, suddenly thinking of something.

At this moment, a gust of wind blew behind her, and before she could react, someone grabbed her hands, the tip of the dagger lay across her neck, and the voice in her ears was no longer soft as before: "Let him go, Otherwise, I will bury your beloved Concubine Rong with you."

Liu Fang's hand holding Rong Ling trembled faintly, but her strength was so great that she couldn't break free.

With a slight movement of Rong Ling, the tip of her knife got a little closer: "Be honest..."

As Liufang spoke, she coerced Rong Ling to back away: "If you dare to approach, I will kill her."

What people never expected was that Emperor Wen of Zhou turned pale with fright and hurriedly ordered the guards who were planning to drag General Li away to stop.

"Let him go..." Liu Fang said.

"Your Majesty..." A courtier hurriedly persuaded, "How can this happen, it is absolutely impossible to let the tiger go back to the mountain."

Liufang gritted her teeth, and stabbed Rong Ling's arm with a knife.

Fuck!

Rong Ling trembled in pain, feeling the warm blood gurgling from his arm.

If it wasn't for the fact that all his spiritual power had been consumed in order to deal with Emperor Wen of Zhou a few days ago, how could he be controlled by others.

The tip of the knife was pulled out from Rong Ling's arm, and Emperor Zhou Wen's pupils contracted unexpectedly. Before he could speak, another voice sounded: "Let her go, I will be your hostage."

The person who spoke was Su Xuxu, she said: "I have a dragon seed in my body, which is much more precious than her."

"Xuxu!" Prime Minister Su hurriedly stopped her.

But before Prime Minister Su finished speaking, Rong Qingshan, Prime Minister Zuo who was sitting beside him, stood up: "What kind of a hero is bullying an unarmed weak woman? I will exchange with her, and I will never resist you."
