Heaven

Jingming Ruihu sat on the dragon chair with a face, his fingers fluttered and tapped on the table.

It's fucking exciting!

It's clear that spring hasn't arrived yet, why are there couples everywhere?

Recently, Lao Gao's temper seems to be unexpectedly good. Listening to his low voice, Jing Mingrui felt a bit penetrating. I really don't understand how Li Di can insist on sticking to him whenever he has time?

I always feel that Lao Gao has changed from a strong poison to a chronic poison. Jing Mingrui rubbed his chin, I am afraid that the attack will be even more fatal!

Sure enough, Lu Zihuai went to court again after only three days.

Jing Mingrui saw him being entangled by Jing Mingya and looking like he wanted to hide or not, and was a bit puzzled how his second brother who was good at pretending showed his true colors in front of his "brother Zihuai".Feeling that Prime Minister Xiaolu met him like a mouse meeting a cat?

But anyway, the second brother still has someone to hang around with, Jing Mingrui looked up to the sky and sighed, my side is beyond my reach!

I don't know if this counts as a misstep and eternal hatred?

Bah bah bah!Jing Mingrui spat.

He decided to summon Jing Mingquan immediately. After three days, he should have found some news, right?

"This matter is difficult..." Jing Mingquan shook his head.

"It's not easy?" Jing Mingrui frowned, "Don't tell me that Tingfenglou has no hidden clues in Yue!"

"That's not true." Jing Mingquan said in distress, "Sister-in-law Wu ran away from home this time because she was annoyed with you. If I help you, what if he gets annoyed with me?"

"Fart!" Jing Mingrui wished he could kick his younger brother to wake him up, "If he married the Queen of Yue, he'd be your fucking wife!"

Jing Mingquan quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Fifth Brother, I'm not joking with you. Xiao Yao has already gone to Xuefeng, and news will come back in a few days."

Jing Mingrui's face turned pale.

"I heard that this empress of the Yue Kingdom is not only dignified and beautiful, but also extremely intelligent. Speaking of which, her personality is somewhat similar to that of the fifth brother!" Jing Mingquan suddenly realized, "Oh——no wonder the fifth sister-in-law traveled thousands of miles away It should be chosen."

"..." Jing Mingrui gritted his teeth.

"Aquan—" Jing Mingrui rested his chin with his thumb and looked at Jing Mingquan with a half-smile.

"What?" Jing Mingquan immediately became alert.

"I heard that Miss Ziyan from Chunfeng Deyilou has been looking forward to you all the time. Don't disappoint her hard work." Jing Mingrui suddenly smiled wickedly, "I heard that she is still an upright official who sells her art but not her body?"

Jing Mingquan immediately fidgeted: "Ah! I suddenly remembered that there is another important thing that I forgot to tell Xiaoyao, and I need to go back to the building immediately. Fifth brother, I will leave first."

After Jing Mingquan finished speaking, he ran out in a hurry, as if he had used a little bit of light work?

Jing Mingrui was amused by his impatient look, and finally couldn't help laughing.

Xuefeng, the Palace of the Divine Emperor...

The atmosphere on the snow peak these past few days was a bit strange, and Ji Kongqing could almost smell a murderous aura in the air.

He secretly got the news that on the morning of the second day after he arrived at Xuefeng, the female officer who tested the blood of the heaven and man died suddenly without illness the day before yesterday.

It is said that the female officer showed no signs of injury or poisoning, she just lay on her bed and left with a smile on her face.If this matter were placed on a 80-[-]-year-old man, it would be said to have died without a problem, but a healthy woman died suddenly overnight, no matter how you look at it, it is a bit strange.

Careful investigation failed, and the Emperor's Hall finally had no choice but to announce that she died of natural causes, and invited the Fourth Elder High Priest Yu Yu to continue to preside over the matter of the queen's husband selection in advance, and at the same time strengthened vigilance.

But since then, there has not been a day of peace on Xuefeng!

Those who came to be elected suddenly disappeared one after another. Even if the number of vigilant guards doubled, it still didn't help.

Now four people have disappeared, and the official selection will start tomorrow, but it has made some people panic, and many people who want to come here to seek glory and wealth for a lifetime are a little shaken.Since running for the election may not guarantee being elected, it is more important to save one's own life.

Yesterday, three or four candidates proposed to go down the mountain together, but the fourth elder insisted that it is okay to give up running for the election, but it is absolutely impossible to go down the mountain at this time.

Early this morning, the Fourth Elder gathered all the candidates again...

"Everyone, please stay calm."

Fourth Elder Yu Yu was a dry, tall and thin middle-aged man with a sallow complexion and dark purple lips.He was wearing a white sacrificial robe painted with black cloud patterns, and his face was also painted with black patterns resembling the seals of heaven and man. He held a snow-white scepter in one hand, and a huge emerald was inlaid on it.

"As for the rumors that the candidates disappeared one after another in the past few days, according to the investigation, it is purely false. It is just that some candidates went down the mountain without permission." The fourth elder cleared his throat, "Everyone may not know our country's history. Climate, these days is the time when the snowstorm is the most on the snow peak. Considering that if you go down the mountain without permission, you may encounter unpredictable dangers, so please wait until the selection is over before being escorted by the gods of the country It's good for everyone to go down the mountain."

Ji Kongqing looked at the people in the yard, some were anxious, some were relieved, some were angry, and some were expressionless.There was only the man in white robe who had been staring at him, but he was very interested, listening intently to what the fourth elder was saying, and even glanced at himself with a smile from time to time.

Every time Ji Kongqing made aggressive eye contact with him, he felt chills.

It was a look full of desire, but also extremely cold and piercing, which even made Ji Kongqing feel like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered. Death seemed to be destined, and the only variable was the final cooking method.

The Fourth Elder waved his scepter to appease everyone's emotions, and continued: "Tomorrow's selection will be held on time. Regardless of whether you are selected or not, I am here to assure you that Yue Kingdom will definitely protect the personal safety of everyone present. Please don't worry unnecessarily. Well, let's go, tomorrow morning there will be a god attendant to take everyone to Langya Terrace to watch the Tongtian Festival Dance."

"Wait!" An old voice suddenly sounded.

Fourth Elder Yuyu's eyelids twitched, and he said in surprise, "Elder Lei, why are you here? But does the Empress have any intentions?"

A gray-haired old man came in, and he frowned upon hearing this: "Hmph, the empress has not yet chosen a husband, so she has no right to make a decree, let alone command you, Elder Yu. The old man came here today for other reasons."

The old man stood in front of everyone and said loudly: "I am Lei Luo, the third elder of the Yue Kingdom. Because he suspected that someone cheated in the previous test, he deliberately caused a series of strange things by sneaking into the Emperor's Palace. In order to ensure the fairness of this selection and protect the The queen's safety, so I decided to re-test your celestial blood."

After finishing speaking, he held a white stone in his palm.

He publicly admitted that someone had indeed disappeared in the past few days, which immediately aroused a buzz of discussion.

The fourth elder, Yu Yu, was shocked when he saw the object in his hand: "Elder Lei, how could you easily get the sacred stone? The sacred stone has always been guarded by a pure and flawless virgin, this is really a sin..." He began to mutter something .

The third elder, Lei Luo, was unmoved in the slightest: "I am the head of the Thunder God Palace, and I have served the Queen all my life. Am I not qualified to ask for the God Stone?"

There is some truth to what he said.

The Emperor's Palace is where the empress usually handles government affairs, but there is almost no chance to come here before the emperor's husband is established.

Thunder God Palace is the Queen's bedroom, and the head of Thunder God Palace has served the Queen's daily life all his life. Although he is a man, he has used drugs to cut off the man's ability. He is no different from a eunuch.

The Fourth Elder Yu Yu frowned and said, "Elder Lei, the Goddess died on the second day after the test, and the test of the Divine Stone cannot be wrong, so why do you need to do anything extra?"

"Then you can't be sure that the death of the goddess has nothing to do with the test?" The third elder said sharply, "I have the right to strictly investigate any matter that may hinder the safety of the queen!"

"Okay, I don't want to waste any more time, please take turns to come up to be tested by the god stone according to your respective numbers." The third elder Lei Luo glanced at the candidates in the courtyard, "If anyone has a guilty conscience If he dares to come up for a re-examination, it will prove that he is seriously suspected, and then don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"

His gaze slightly touched Ji Kongqing's in the air, and he gave him a friendly look.

The Fourth Elder Yu Yu sighed: "Since Elder Lei insists, I will stop it again, so that Elder Lei may even suspect me. However, it is unfair to always test in one order, it is better to do it like this." The next time, do the reverse, and start checking from the big number."

The third elder, Lei Luo, did not insist on the order of the inspection, and immediately nodded in agreement, and asked his cronies to check the number on the sign, and lined up everyone in a row, waiting to be tested by him.

Ji Kongqing was made uncomfortable by the seductive gaze of the man in white robe in front of him.

When the white-robed man's servant wasn't around, he became even more unscrupulous, and almost glued his peach blossom eyes to Ji Kongqing's body.As a result, Ji Kongqing could only turn his head and concentrate on observing the ice edges hanging from the branches beside him.

The previous tests didn't seem to find any problems, but it took a while for everyone to get the resonance of the divine stone, and the test was rather time-consuming.

Just when it was found that Ji Kongqing was counting forward to the third person, a guard suddenly rushed in and whispered something in the ear of Fourth Elder Yuyu.

"What did you say? Another goddess was killed!" Fourth Elder Yu Yu exclaimed in surprise.

There was a burst of discussion among the people.

The fourth elder hurriedly walked up to the third elder Lei Luo, and discussed in a low voice: "Now that another goddess has been killed, it seems that this matter is not the work of the candidate here."

The third elder Lei Luo frowned, his speculation came from a very reliable person: "How is the death of the goddess who was killed just now? Is it consistent with the previous one?"

The Fourth Elder Yu Yu nodded and said: "It's exactly the same, no trauma, no poisoning."

The third elder Lei Luo had no choice but to raise his voice: "Another goddess was murdered in the Palace of the Divine Emperor, let's put aside today's matter for now. Please don't move around indiscriminately in the future. I will send people to take care of your daily life and ensure everyone's safety."

After speaking, he hurriedly urged the fourth elder to take him to examine the corpse.

Ji Kongqing didn't eat breakfast, but went back to her own room.

He sat on the chair and pressed his faintly aching forehead. I am afraid that what happened now is someone's idea to attack the country of Yue. Who the hell is it?

He regretted that he came to Yue country alone on impulse, if Mingrui was by his side to help...

I don't know how Mingrui is doing now?

Ji Kongqing suddenly remembered the message from Jing Mingquan he had received on the way, and he really didn't know when he put the letter incense on himself.

There were only eight words on the scroll that made him dumbfounded.

"The marriage was rejected, the fifth sister-in-law will return soon!"

Mingrui refused the marriage?

Isn't it said that Princess Wei is as beautiful as a fairy?Did Mingrui actually reject such a beautiful thing that could serve multiple purposes?

So... Does that mean that I still have a little chance?

Ji Kongqing licked the corners of his mouth secretly, and suddenly felt that his head didn't hurt so much.
