Unspeakable and strange

After that day, Qin Hongfeng took some herbs, mashed them, mixed white honey into pills, and presented them to the king.In the first two days, King Xi reacted greatly, vomited and defecated. After taking the toxin for a few days, he recovered his consciousness and his body became healthier day by day.

The Empress Dowager granted Qin Hongfeng the title of Grand Tutor, and gave him a mansion outside the palace, allowing him to have a place to live and no longer stay in the Tai's womb.

The Empress Dowager thought in her heart, since Qin Hongfeng is a strange person, how can he get so close to Yan Ning?Now that Yan Ning has won the hearts of the people, it is not easy to abolish his position in the East Palace, but if he can win over Qin Hongfeng and use his hands to get rid of Yan Ning, it is the most ideal method.Therefore, he was very polite to Qin Hongfeng, often accompanied him with banquets, and repeatedly asked his granddaughter to find various excuses to get close to him.

But what did Qin Hongfeng ask for when he came to Xi State?Since he has become an immortal and proved the Tao, he can reach the heavens and the earth, so why bother to re-enter the mortal world and send himself to others?

Yan Ning often couldn't figure this out, so she was always trembling. When she woke up one day, the person had disappeared and disappeared, or all the encounters were just a dream.

Only seeing him from time to time and hearing him whispering and laughing, can I feel a little real.

"I promised Your Highness that I will help you revive the State of Xi, so don't worry, Your Highness."

"Then you will help me become King Xi?" Yan Ning asked.

Qin Hongfeng drank lazily, "If you want to, there's nothing you can't do." He raised his drunken eyes, stared at Yan Ning for a while, then suddenly raised his hand soaked in alcohol to caress Yan Ning's beautiful chin, A pair of beautiful eyes were intoxicated, "Ah, you may be a good king, better than your father. At least better looking than him." He smiled low-key, his jade face reflected the dimly flickering candlelight, An ambiguous gauze red warm light.

Yan Ning couldn't move for a moment, the place touched was hot as if on fire, and she turned her face sideways in embarrassment.He has grown up to a teenager age, and he has not experienced the love of his children, nor enjoyed the joy of fish and water.After sitting on the position of prince, every step is like walking on thin ice, cautiously, how can I have the rest to think about romantic affairs.So being molested by Qin Hongfeng like this, he was a little at a loss.He also didn't expect this person to be so uninhibited and dissolute, without the self-consciousness of self-cultivation.

Qin Hongfeng also felt a little bit interested seeing Yan Ning's unbearable teasing. He grabbed Yan Ning's hand and approached him, "How about this, kiss me, and I'll promise you."

"Huh, nonsense!" Yan Ning was angry and annoyed, and suddenly withdrew her hand.

After a while, I took a deep breath, turned around and made excuses for him, "You're drunk."

Qin Hongfeng supported his head with one hand, smelled of alcohol all over his body, but his eyes were bright, "I can't get drunk." He poured the glass, and the wine spilled out, part of it flowed to the ground, and part of it wet his sleeves.

The peach blossoms outside the green tobacco screen window are in full bloom, clusters of deep red and light pink.When these peach blossoms were first transplanted, they could not adapt to the high walls and deep courtyard of the Taiwomen. The flowers withered quickly, and the leaves turned yellow and fell off, looking sluggish. When the next spring came, they did not germinate for a long time. .

The servants who took care of the flowers in the palace said that these trees would not survive, so it is better to replace them with better ones. The empress likes peonies the most. Planting some peonies for decoration is more beautiful than these few bare peach branches.Yan Ning didn't agree, so they let them occupy the best place in the yard.I thought it would have died long ago, but when Qin Hongfeng moved in here, it gradually became alive, blooming enthusiastically and swaggeringly, overwhelming all the flowers in the courtyard.

Qin Hongfeng likes to tend some bushes and flowers. He said that when he was on the mountain before, there was a small valley. He planted bamboo and opened a vegetable garden, but unfortunately he couldn't keep it alive. He didn't have time to take care of it and some mountain animals always came to make trouble.Now that he has this yard, he is naturally overjoyed, and often buryes his head in the flower garden, taking care of those delicate little things himself.A few times when Yan Ning came, he saw him squatting there watering the flowers, half of the skirt was pinned to his waist, and the other half was dangling in the mud, and the bottom of the robe was soaked in muddy water, but he didn't realize it.

"I heard that the alchemist who made alchemy was sentenced to beheading. Before he was executed, he still shouted mournfully, "The evildoer will bewitch the world, and the country of Xi will surely perish. When the head was beheaded, the head rolled to the ground. The shouting continued, and it took a long time before he fell to the ground." , died of exhaustion." Qin Hongfeng turned his eyes from the window and looked at Yanning, "Who do you think that evildoer is talking about?"

Yan Ning was taken aback, not knowing what he meant by this, and replied cautiously, "How can you take this kind of madman's nonsense seriously?"

"Then I always heard you say that you should govern the country with benevolence. He didn't mean it, but it's just a matter of loyalty to the emperor. Why did you kill him?"

"Whether intentionally or unintentionally, he deceived King Xi and made a big mistake. Giving him a quick death with a knife is already a kindness."

Qin Hongfeng laughed softly, "The kindness you mentioned is really strange. Can killing people count as kindness?"

Yan Ning thought about it, "There are also many punishments in the palace where life is worse than death. Rather than being tortured alive, it is better to die and entrust it to the next life."

"Do you think so too?"

Yan Ning hesitated and thought for a while, "No. As long as there is a chance of surviving, I still want to live. After all, I don't know who I will be or what I will do in the next life. Those who pray to God and Buddha to have a good pregnancy are castles in the air. , no one knows if there is an afterlife, after all, it is not as real as the present personnel."

He paused, "What's more, even if there is an afterlife, I am no longer me. I have lost my memory, changed my skin, and have other flesh and blood concerns. The unfulfilled long-cherished wishes and unpaid favors of the previous life can only be reduced to nothing. Unfortunately, I must be very unwilling."

Qin Hongfeng raised his eyes when he heard the words, and there was a smile hidden in the beautiful phoenix eyes, "Everyone in the world wants to seek longevity and is afraid of death, so they are obsessed and believe in ghosts and gods. You are also so obsessed, it is easy to be People lied."

Yan Ning couldn't figure out the meaning of his words, "Isn't it good for the world to worship piously?"

"Ordinary people burn incense, kowtow, offer prayers, and they are indeed sincere and kind, but how many gods do you think will listen to them? Will they go to see them? Looking down from the high sky, mortals are as busy as ants, from the long years of thousands of years Looking at it, the change of dynasties is rare and common, and birth, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred parting are all fleeting things.”

Holding on to the wine glass, Qin Hongfeng came down from the sink, walked to Yan Ning's side, bent slightly, and leaned closer to his ear, with his hair touching his cheek, "Your Highness, it's better to believe in me than in immortals and Buddhas."
