Escaped Medical Concubine - C291

Huo Ni Lin’s gaze swept across everyone’s faces. Those who stood here or knelt here were all the people he trusted the most in the past.

He pointed his fingers at the deputy governor of the imperial guards and the leader of the hidden guards.

Everyone kneeled down on the ground. They didn’t know what the Fiery-Scaled Beast was planning to do by quietly summoning them here in the middle of the night.

“In the picturesque River City, the mountain is looking up at the clear sky. Raindrops clipped the mirror, and the two bridges fell rainbow. People smoke cold orange grapefruit, autumn color old parasol tree. “Who recited ‘North Tower’, ‘Rippling Wind Hood’ …”

Ji Tian Ning couldn’t help but chuckle. What she held in her heart was not Young Master Xie, but Elder Shang.

“Good poem, I didn’t expect the empress to be so knowledgeable, but to think that you’re actually so talented. “Can you sing another poem for me in the autumn?”

“Embroidered by Qu, Qu Qu Qu, the mountains open to the eye, Chuanzhi its scintillating vision. LU Yan hit the ground, the bell tolls the food home; Shredded ship, the blue sparrow Huang Long. Cloud marketing rain Ji, color Ching District bright. The sunset and the solitariness fly together, and the autumn water is one and the same. ”

What Ji Tian Ning praises is not poetry, but Tang Wangbo’s “Adieu to the King of Tengwang Mansion on Autumn Day”, in which he loves two lines: “The sunset and the lonely ambition fly together, the autumn and the water grow together.” So he praises this passage.

“Words are already magnificent, it’s fine if they are written by extraordinary people. I didn’t know that you would be so talented.”

Ji Tian Ning chuckled lowly, “There are too many things the Emperor doesn’t know. How can it be like this?”

A few leaves fell from the sky. The reverse fire scale raised its hand to catch a leaf. It felt very sad.

Was his life like the leaves? When the time came for the leaves to dry up and turn yellow, they would tremble in the autumn wind, and they would fall down at any time. Would they turn into dust as the leaves fell?

“One leaf and you will know autumn. Autumn is already here.”

“The Emperor is feeling sorrowful. Have you thought about my suggestion to go to the Sacred Grounds, the Myriad Profound Ice Cave?”

“What does the empress want? Is there any need to ask me?”

“Don’t be so stubborn. Are you actually worried that I will harm you? You must endure until the oil is completely used up before you are willing to give up?”

“Ning’er, have you ever loved me?”

“Did the Emperor ever love anyone?”

“You have always been in my heart, only you. Even though I have had countless women, you are the only one that remains in my heart.” You may not believe it, but at this point, how could I possibly lie to you? ”

A deep pain appeared in Huo Ni Lin’s eyes. He cared about her and loved her, but now, he was going to leave her.

“Perhaps, but in your heart, I am so light that I can be disregarded.”

“Ning’er, I am the Emperor, the ruler of a nation under the South Court’s decree. You can’t just think that there are too many things you need to do as a girl. If time had flowed backward, I would not have allowed you to escape the palace, nor would I have allowed so many things to happen today. ”

No more time, no more time,

How sad it is to lose a good time.

You wait for everything to stop coming,

I missed the chance to be sad.

You never understood what I meant.

Ji Tian Ning chanted in a low voice. This old song originally came from Deng Lijun, but now it was sung with a few words, carrying a faint sadness and a faint yellow hue.

The reverse fire scale suddenly became silly. Yes, time no longer came. He had already lost too much of his good time. Those things were already far away and would never come again.

“Have I never understood your intentions?”

The reverse fire scale lowered his eyelids, and a strange light flashed in the depths of his eyes. “Can you tell me what your intentions are?”

Ji Tian Ning smiled faintly. Didn’t she say that? She had said it, but he had never noticed it, or had never wanted to notice it, to impose his own thoughts on her.

“Is the Queen ready? “How I wish to see you give birth to a prince for me. Can I not even fulfill this tiny wish of yours?”

Ji Tian Ning remained silent. Perhaps, this was the scoundrel True God who was willing to help her solve half of this difficult problem so that Fire Reversal Scale would not be able to see the child.

“Ning’er, why do you trust Shang Qiuyuan so much?”

“Can’t I trust him?”

“Ning’er, are you confident in yourself, or are you confident in Shang Qiuyuan’s Shang Qiuyuan?”

“All of them.”

Ji Tian Ning replied without hesitation. Yes, she was not only confident in herself, but also in Shang Qiuyuan. That man was the man who understood her the best and was the one she could rely on the most.

“Aren’t you worried that Shang Qiuyuan will become the second King shoulder to shoulder in the future? At that time, the lives of you and your mother will be in danger. ”

“I know what I’m doing. Is the emperor worried for me and my child, or is he jealous?”

“Do you know that you are raising the second King shoulder to shoulder of the Southern Champion?”

“That’s the emperor’s way of thinking. Does the emperor have any brilliant ideas or ingenious plans today? Can he find someone more trustworthy and suitable than Shang Qiuyuan?”

“Ning’er, you’re still too naïve. You don’t understand the battles in the imperial court and the Emperor’s Arts.”

Ji Tian Ning rolled her eyes. She understood what the Emperor’s Art was for. She did not have the ambition or leisure to become an empress.

“Have you not made up your mind to let me send you to the Sacred Grounds?”

“I’ve thought it through, but I’ve always wished to see you give birth to a prince.”

“You won’t be able to wait for that day to come. Stop delaying it. You must know that you’ve fainted several times in the past few days.”

“When do you want to arrange for me to go?”

“Any time you like.”

“I would like to fast for eighteen days to show my sincerity. How about after that date?”

“Then that’s it.”

Ji Tian Ning turned around and looked at a pond of autumn water in the distance. There were no longer any lotus flowers on the green waves. The big lotus flowers were covered with lotus seeds that were swaying in the autumn wind.

“Eighteen days?”

As the red figure of the Fiery-Scaled Beast disappeared into the distance, Ji Tian Ning mumbled a few words under his breath as a smile appeared on his face.

The next day, the Fiery-Scaled Tiger left the Imperial Palace in the name of going to the grandmist palace to pray. It only brought a few guards with it as it headed to the grandmist palace.

It was time for the autumn harvest. The duke of Mo Yang and several other dukes were jealous of the harvest of the Southern Champion, and they would occasionally invade the borders and loot property.

After a new round of reshuffling, there were still seven kingdoms remaining, but the war of the dukes had yet to subside. Due to the war at Fengyuan, the four kingdoms such as Nanke, Yunmeng, Beiyi, and Jinghai suffered great losses due to the loss of wealth. Thus, they did not have much strength and energy to deal with the chaos of the dukes, and they were able to pacify the other small kingdoms.

Early in the morning, the officials knelt down to pay their respects to Shang Qiuyuan. Although the emperor was no longer present, he held the imperial edict in his hands, replacing the emperor. The fear in the officials’ hearts did not diminish.

Today, no one did not know that Shang Qiuyuan’s authority lay with the Southern Champion Kingdom, so he was naturally the second King to stand side by side. Even the former King to stand side was not as powerful as Shang Qiuyuan was now.

“Reporting to Your Highness, today the western border is being invaded by the Marquis of Mo Yang, and he has repeatedly trespassed into the border, robbing wealth and women, causing my Southern Champion border to become uneasy. There is also the Changyi King in the north, borrowing the benefits of the cavalry to invade the northern borders.

Shang Qiuyuan lightly swept a glance around the imperial court. Wherever his gaze went, all the officials held their breath in reverence, not daring to raise their heads to meet his gaze.

The current him was no longer that general who had miserably surrendered to the Southern Champion and allowed others to mock him, but rather the prince who wielded hundreds of thousands of soldiers, was the protector of the king, and held the authority of the Southern Champion Kingdom.

Now, the nobles of the court, who saw him not to kneel down and kowtow to him, respectfully called him “Your Highness”.

With Feng Yuan as a backer, no matter if he advanced or retreated, he could always be like a fish back in the water. Recently, he was considering whether he should go back to Feng Yuan once.

“Zuo Si, I think there are a few generals who are not in court yet. Why is that?”

“To reply Your Highness, the governor of the imperial guards occasionally caught a chill, so he took a leave of absence. “The Vice Governor of the imperial guards, Nan Feng, suffered a relapse and was on leave to recuperate. The Imperial Guard Commander, An Ling Qing Lan, was ordered to protect the Emperor while he went to the Hongmeng Palace to pray for blessings and to bring the Imperial Guards to protect the Emperor. Thus, the Imperial Court cannot be held.”

“Then who else is on leave?”

“The guards of the imperial guards are under strict guard. They have returned to the village to offer sacrifices to their ancestors. A few days ago, they had already taken their leave. “The capital’s general’s mother is severely ill, and this is a few days’ leave …”

Shang Qiuyuan was smiling, but there was a hint of coldness in his smile. Now that the border was not peaceful and the war was about to break out, the few generals were all using various reasons to take a leave of absence.

He also understood that these people were originally from the Flaming Unicorn Tribe and were loyal to the Flaming Unicorn. They were dissatisfied with his control of the imperial government and the military, so they used this opportunity to put him in his place.

The officials were all silent. How could they not understand what was going on? They all peeked at Shang Qiuyuan’s expression to see how he was going to deal with it.

Shang Qiuyuan’s face remained indifferent, as if he didn’t care about it at all. He turned his head to look at the Military Department’s Minister.

The face of the Military Department’s Minister turned into a bitter melon as he hurriedly left the class to bow and await Shang Qiuyuan’s order.

“Right now, the borders are not peaceful. A scrooge intends to seize my Southern Champion City’s harvest. What sort of countermeasures does Minister Qi have?”

Qi Yong’s expression became even more bitter. He hadn’t been serving as the Military Department’s president for long, and those few generals had completely ignored him. Moreover, he was the Military Department’s Minister and had no authority nor troops. The former minister of the military had been someone from the palace for nine days. After being killed in the chaos of the Ancestral Dragon, he had been asked to replace this position.

“Reporting to Your Highness, this lowly subordinate believes that we should send an army to annihilate this generation and restore peace to my Southern Champion Kingdom.”

Shang Qiuyuan once again stared at Qi Yong for a moment. Cold sweat dripped from Qi Yong’s forehead as he lowered his head. How could he not understand that without their orders, who would be able to command the troops under the command of these generals on their leave? The orders issued by him, the minister of the military, were no different from farts. They were completely useless.

“So, within three days, mobilize fifty thousand men to clear Dexing’s bandits and border calamities.”

“Plop …”

Qi Yong kneeled on the ground and asked him to gather 50,000 men. Not to mention 50,000 men, where would he go to gather all 5000 soldiers?

Shang Qiuyuan didn’t say anything, he didn’t even bother to look at Qi Yong, his gaze once again sweeping across the faces of the crowd of officials.

“Yes, sir.”

Qi Yong kowtowed and stood up with much difficulty. He knew that he had probably succeeded in his position as the head of the Military Department. He didn’t dare to disobey orders. He didn’t have the ability to do so, so it seemed like he could only return home and write his resignation. He only wanted to protect the king’s kindness and righteousness, so it would be a great kindness if he didn’t pursue this matter.

“Withdraw.”

Only after waiting for Shang Qiuyuan’s figure to completely disappear did he dare to straighten his body and walk out of the throne room one by one.

“Brother Nian, what do you think the situation is right now?”

“What’s going on? “Your question is very strange.”

“Brother Nian, now that war is about to break out, what do you mean by taking leave from those people and complaining about your illness? is their own meaning, or is it … ”

He pointed to the sky and asked the people around him in a low voice.

The man hurriedly shook his head, looked left and right, and said in a low voice, “This kind of thing is hard to say. Although your highness’s achievements are unrivalled for the time being, and you have the power now, I’m afraid it would be a little difficult to move those few people? ”

A few more people came over and started discussing in a low voice, “Could it be that they are feeling indignant and want to test the patience and methods of the prince? Tell me, how do you think the prince will deal with this?”

“Hard to say …”

One of the ministers put on a cool expression, “Now, the prince’s power and military might is even greater than the old Shoulder King. If you anger the prince, I think you will die miserably.”

“How do you know?”

a young minister asked, with a slightly bookish, puzzled look on his face.
