How about a bowl of Mengpo soup

"From today onwards, I am your king." On the throne on the high platform, a woman in a dark red phoenix robe held the jade seal of the Hades, and spoke to the dignified crowd below the hall.

The black hair is rolled into cloud temples, and the skin is more radiant than snow.The beauty's gorgeous dress dragged the floor, and the skirt embroidered with the totem of the underworld phoenix spread out on the auspicious pattern carpet. She was as graceful as a peony, and as enchanting as a manju sand flower, shining into everyone's eyes.

Standing by the side of the steps, Si Ming in black robe had a calm expression on his cold face.She silently raised her hand, signaling the priest to ring the bell.

Immediately, the ancient bronze bell clanged, and the sound of "boom—boom—" cut through the mist, and the sound hit everyone's ears.Hundreds of underworld officials in court uniforms looked at each other, and finally bowed their heads deeply.Outside the main hall, countless black-armored guards lowered their weapons and bowed their knees.

On such an early morning, a mighty crowd suddenly came to Shangqi Netherland, and when everyone was unprepared, they announced the news of Yan You's resignation from the Zen position, and then changed the king's banner and changed the law. example.

The underworld changed hands once in a while.

At this moment, in the hall of Hades, the bells and drums are solemn, and the ceremony of the new king's inauguration is still going on.Feng Wuya gritted his teeth secretly when he heard the discussion in which everyone lowered their voices.She didn't expect it to be so fast, so fast that before they had time to take action, the situation had reached such an irreversible point.

"why……"

She raised her head angrily, looked at the dark red color on the high platform, her fist-like hands trembling.At this time, a cool touch was quietly stretched out from the side, covering her hand gently and forcefully.

"Wuya." Chi Han looked at her and shook his head slowly, "This is what the king means."

What does His Majesty mean...is that he has given up on us?Without a word of explanation, he handed over the position of Pluto... What is this?The judge in Tsing Yi gritted his teeth and frowned tightly. After a while, he said in a low voice: "Where is your majesty... Where did your majesty go?"

The eyes of the woman beside her were darkened, and she fell into some kind of thought: "I don't know either..."

Suddenly, the underworld bell rang three times again, and the "My King" echoed in the ears accompanied by the hundreds of officials shouting in unison.But the overwhelming atmosphere is so heavy and depressing.

Chi Han took everyone's expressions into his eyes.His gaze turned elsewhere, but his pupils shrank slightly, and the complicated color in those deep pool-like pupils became more serious.

And the woman sitting upright on the high platform was looking down with a victor's posture, her smile charming all living beings, and her beauty was peerless.But the loneliness flashed across the eyes, few people can see.

……

When she heard the news that the underworld had changed hands, the teacup in Meng Wanyan's hand fell to the ground and broke into several pieces.

At that time, the palace was heavily guarded by soldiers, and many residents of Hades City didn't know what happened inside, but some people felt that something happened when they saw a large group of people heading towards the Hades Hall this morning.

At this moment, the army dispersed, and the priest came out to read the decree, and the residents of the underworld learned that their king had been replaced by a woman named Ji Lan.

At this moment, the ceremony of conferring the king had been completed, Meng Wanyan ran out from the underworld, stumbled all the way into the palace, and entered the bedroom regardless of the guards' obstruction.

"Ji Lan!" The white-clothed figure barged in, and all the maids were stunned, stopping what they were doing.

The person lying on the side on the soft couch glanced over lazily, without any surprise, and just retreated to the others: "You all go down."

"Yes." The maids secretly glanced at the two women, sighed in their hearts, and then walked out with lowered heads and eyebrows, and closed the door with the replaced incense burner ornaments.

"My lord Meng can't wait to come to see this king. It's really a joy." With only the two of them left, Ji Lan sat up from the soft couch.The tone was as usual, even with a bit of specious joy, as if it was really meeting an old friend.

The woman opposite looked at her coldly: "Ji Lan, you are really despicable!"

"Meng Wanyan." She narrowed her eyes and raised her lips.Walking over with coquettish steps, her tone became ruthless: "You are so courageous, do you know who I am now, huh?"

These words made Meng Wanyan's heart ache.That's right... Now Yan You is no longer the monarch here... It's all my own fault.She clenched her hands tightly, and her tone was sullen: "I didn't expect you to lie to me. Yan You didn't harm Liu Mingjin at all!"

"Oh, it's just that there is a gap between you and I can take advantage of it." Ji Lan sneered, "Actually, I said that to make you feel better. In that case, even if you know the truth, you won't be happy in the end." Don't help me."

"But you didn't keep your promise." Meng Wanyan frowned, "You must have used some other means! Otherwise, you wouldn't have taken the position of Pluto so quickly. You treated her..."

"Take it away?" Ji Lan interrupted her, with a sneer in the corner of her mouth: "What if I told you that Yan You didn't want it?"

The person on the other side was slightly startled: "What do you mean?"

Ji Lan stopped talking, and the smile on her face disappeared in an instant.With her arms folded, she walked up to the woman in white step by step, and looked at her level.There was a cold light in the long and narrow eyes, and there was subtle desperation and unwillingness, like a fox that was injured but still maintained aloofness.

After a long time, she leaned over and whispered in Meng Wanyan's ear, "Actually, she knew about your drug use, but she didn't have the courage to doubt you. But you chose to save Liu Mingjin in the end. So, she was disappointed in you." Absolutely. She doesn't want this underworld, and she doesn't want you."

... don't want me anymore.

The sadness in his eyes flashed past.Ji Lan withdrew her body, smiling wantonly and charmingly: "She's gone, she doesn't want anything...it's all because of you! Heh..."

Meng Wanyan's mind went blank for a moment, only those words kept echoing.

She's gone, she doesn't want anything, she doesn't want anyone...

"...Where did she go?" It took a long time to come back to her senses, Meng Wanyan suddenly panicked, a fear she had never had before suddenly enveloped her, almost suffocating.She took a quick step forward and grabbed Ji Lan's arm, her voice trembling: "Where did she go?"

"Want to know?" Ji Lan raised her eyebrows, and a kind of vengeful pleasure suddenly rose in her heart: "Then—stay well in this underworld. Someday I... no, it's me. Wang is in a good mood, maybe he will tell you... ahahaha..."

The man in red pushed the hand away, flicked his sleeves lightly, and walked out the door lightly.Meng Wanyan stood stiffly in the center of the palace room, her wide-open eyes gradually lost focus, and her vision slowly blurred into one piece.

As the day passed, the night in the underworld still came as usual, but this night, the streets and alleys in the city were less lively than before.

In the teahouse, three or two customers drank tea dully, and occasionally lowered their voices to say something, glanced at a few dark soldiers walking past the door, shook their heads each, and called Anu to come and add hot water and cakes .

Upstairs, the proprietress came out of a private room.She turned around and glanced at the plain white and thin back standing in front of the window, she wanted to say something but swallowed it back, sighed, and gently closed the door.

"Miss Boss... Is Master Meng okay?" Anu who went upstairs with the tea tray looked towards the door.

Xinxue frowned slightly, worry appeared on her beautiful face, but she replied lightly: "It will get better..."

The lights are flickering from far and near, and the red, yellow and yellow in the residential city correspond to the dots and stars around the palace, but they also look lonely.In the side hall of Suchen Palace, the smoke was lightly gathered, and the fragrance of plum blossoms was entangled in the humidity and warmth, and there was a subtle sound of water.

The little maid quietly bowed her head and knelt outside the screen.

"What's your name?"

A voice suddenly came from behind the screen, mixed with the subtle ding-dong sound of water droplets falling, it didn't seem abrupt, but it was low and pleasant to hear.And in the dim yellow halo cast by the floating lamps, there are faint silhouettes among the painted flowers.

The maid trembled, quickly lowered her head, and replied: "My maidservant's name is Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi..."

"Little brook?" The person at the other end deliberately teased.

The maid's face suddenly became hot.

Only then did Her Lady Queen put away her smile, but her tone was still playful, as if she was thinking about something: "Xi'er..." Did Yan You choose this name... She held up a handful of pink and white flower petals floating on the water , lowered his head and sniffed lightly, and finally said something unclear: "Well, not bad."

When Xiaoxi heard this, her heart skipped a beat.She didn't understand what the word "good" meant by that superior person, and she felt terrified.But Ji Lan saw her changing expression through the screen, and the corner of her mouth hooked.

"Hmm... It's better to have a maid." The person in the bath sighed and leaned against the wall of the pool.Closing his eyes, he secretly thought about whether he should catch a group of women outside and go to the abyss in the future.Just now she only kept this little girl, just because she thought it was very interesting to see her overripe apple-like face when she was nervous.

Just stay by your side to relieve boredom.After all... this underworld is too boring.

Surrounded by mist, the maid kneeling on the other side did not dare to make a sound. The hall was extremely quiet, except for the even and slow sound of water dripping from the bronze leak in the corner.

Ji Lan let out a long breath.At this time, a familiar tone suddenly swayed in my mind.

"Is this what you want, sister?"

She opened her eyes suddenly, only to realize that she was hallucinating again.But the feeling of heartache is so real, like being cut by a knife.And this sentence, often lingering in my ears when I dream back at midnight, has become a curse that cannot dissipate.

Is this what you want... Sister.

The person lying by the pool suddenly frowned, and raised his hand to cover his heart.Her long eyelashes were wet with water vapor, but she couldn't find the focal length in her eyes. She just stared at the bright red flowers painted by Yan You on the screen, feeling lost.

"What the hell do I want..."

Muttering in a low voice, Ji Lan suddenly laughed, tears streaming down her face.
