Ling Tian had forgotten about the harem matters, and that they had to be dealt with by the king himself. Right now, she was only preoccupied with her anger as she watched the group of beauties become more and more savage. She couldn't hold it in any longer and suddenly ripped off a leaf and threw it down.
Bi Wu, Phoenix Perch.
The dark green jade-like leaf swayed along with the wind, landing on the Hundred Flowers Pavilion. A tender and clear voice descended from the sky:
"Roc carrying ninety thousand, waist around one hundred thousand, back of Yangzhou Crane used to ride. As matters stood, the scenery was bleak. Gold did not disappoint the heroes, turning the world into a world of love. "White is also an eye; green is also an eye."
The jade leaves of Bi Wu's body fluttered about in the air as he flew through the air. His voice came to a halt.
Both the beauty and the empress dowager raised their heads.
About 15 meters away, on top of a thick branch about 20 feet above the Ink Lotus Lake, there was a spirited young girl. She wore a light green dress, and her long hair was tied into a bun with a jade hairpin.
When the empress dowager saw Ling Tian Qing, her expression changed slightly.
Even though Ling Qing's identity was a top secret, no one knew that she was the little witch from before, much less the relationship between her and Su Xiaoxiao …
Although this glance was somewhat familiar, no one connected her with the current Madam Xue.
Even if someone were to think of the demoness from before, they would definitely not dare to speak carelessly to the future Queen.
But Her Majesty knew everything that lay between them.
Even so, she hadn't seen this little demoness for nearly a year. She didn't expect her fall to be so vivid and beautiful. With a fierce glance, she almost couldn't recognize that this was the little girl she saw in the latrine.
At that time, she was delicate but very thin, as if a light touch would disappear with the wind.
Now... They were vigorous and looked plump, just like the branches of an enticing fruit.
Not long after Ling Zhi returned from his inspection of the south, Su Xiaoxiao was given to Ling Xue as promised. At that time, Su Xiaoxiao already knew how terrifying the dragon's might was and didn't want to stir up any trouble.
During that period of time, Green Shadow had also frequently visited Su Xiaoxiao to treat her insanity. Madam Xue had recovered quite a bit, and it was said that she was no different from a normal person.
"Wang... "Empress Dowager …"
Finally, a beauty whispered.
"Then... That's her? "
"Shh, that's esteemed queen …"
The beauties were discussing in whispers.
This young girl was so pretty, and she had the aura of a little demoness from back then. Could it be that the king liked this kind of woman?
"The king hasn't made his move yet. Where's the queen from?" The empress dowager had been sitting calmly the entire time, but when she heard the discussions around her, she suddenly frowned and asked unhappily in return.
Immediately, no one dared to speak.
Zhou Fangyi gently looked at the tree demon-like elf girl.
Under the sunlight, the green made her seem full of life. Her lips were red, her teeth were white, and her eyes were intelligent. She seemed more and more like a fairy …
She could not remember the appearance of the young girl who was tied up on the bed and fed with the Hundred Fantasy Pill.
Because she had been too flustered that night, she had focused all her attention on Lingxiu.
She only remembered that Ling Qing had a pair of clear eyes and an unbridled mouth. Every word he said was earth-shattering …
Later on, in the carriage, the young girl tried her best to avoid being encountered by Ling Xiang and was unwilling to talk to him.
However, at that time, the girl's body had yet to grow up. Although her facial features were brilliant, they had yet to grow, much less the stunning Lingxiu of today.
Didn't he just consume the pill?
How could he have such a monstrous appearance?
"Empress Dowager, that is … Phoenix Body? " He leaned close to Her Majesty and asked.
Moreover, his voice was neither loud nor low, so that the surrounding beauties could hear him clearly.
Sui Tian Xiang looked at Zhou Fangyi with interest.
More than thirty months later, the imperial harem was obviously filled with reverence towards Zhou Fangyi's phoenix body. In addition, the empress dowager had often whispered in the ear of the king that she should be erected, which made all the beauties believe that Zhou Fangyi was the future queen.
He did not expect another Phoenix Body to appear in the sky.
Since ancient times, there had never been a Twin Phoenix Dynasty. What exactly was going on?
"The Phoenix Body is related to the destiny of the heavens, how can you speak nonsense!" Her Majesty was angry.
"Esteemed empress dowager, please calm your anger. It's just that when you hear about the matter of the king establishing the throne …" Fiona hurried to apologize.
All the beauties perked up their ears. They too wanted to know what the king was thinking.
The imperial harem had recently spread rumors that the king was preparing to take the throne, but no one knew who exactly he was planning to take the throne for.
"How can she be like the queen?" The empress dowager raised her trembling hand, obviously unwilling to admit that Ling Tian Qing was the queen.
Who would be the queen's queen and climb a tree?
Furthermore, what lousy poem was he reciting just now?
What "white is also the eyes; green is also the eyes", obviously taunting their snobbish face.
When Lan Yi saw this scene, he immediately became depressed. He didn't know what he should do now, so he could only send Bi Yun to report to the king.
After all, the empress dowager was also watching from below. It was very inappropriate for him to step forward.
"That's right, the phoenix body is related to the destiny of the heavens. The empress dowager must advise the king to choose the right person." Ling Tianqing was sitting leisurely on the tree trunk, enjoying the "war of words".
She didn't want to be a queen.
Although Wen Han had told her that this time, it was very likely that the King would stand up for his, but … She was very unwilling.
This heavy responsibility should be given to Zhou Fangyi.
With Zhou Fangyi's appearance and the standard face of a palace battle, she would definitely be able to fight to the death in the harem and climb up to the back!
She, on the other hand, could not be queen.
"How dare you! Who gave you the guts to talk to This Dowager like that!" The empress dowager bellowed. "Someone, bring her down here!"
Ling Tian Qing shrugged his shoulders. After not seeing her for half a year, the empress dowager's temper was getting worse. Had she reached menopause?
In the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the imperial study was entered five times consecutively by the imperial guards.
The sunlight of the imperial study shone through the front hall, but Ling Xiang seemed to have not heard about the news of the Heavenly Green Palace's arrival.
Ling Jin had managed to get rid of nineteen people in two days. Since the start of the hunt, the emperor had never used something as quick as this, but it had actually left many aftereffects as he had made them "disappear" during the hunt.
Only Ling Xiang had done it effortlessly.
However, it was obvious that there would be many repercussions. He needed to deal with them with all his might. Moreover, while suppressing and recruiting the bandits in the Wilderness, he also had to get rid of some of his friends.
After being away for a few days, Ling Zhi did not want anyone to be suspicious of Ling Qing.
However, that girl really couldn't stop and started causing trouble so quickly.
And it was to provoke the Empress Dowager.
"Lord Grim, from today onwards, I'll temporarily give you the title of a Supervisor." Ling Xuanxuan began to support the new blood he had taken a liking to. Hearing that, Lord Grim began to enter the court as an official.
"Your Majesty, why did you send me such a mission?" When Lord Grim heard the two words "watch out", he immediately asked with a pale face.
If the other dukes were not appointed generals or had been entrusted with important tasks, they would assume the most important positions. Why was he a punishment officer?
Even if it was the first time Ling Xue had received an order, it was still as an official in charge of investigating such a big matter as personal salt.
"Lord Grim, when you enter the imperial court in the future, this king will have to force you. You have to be called an official." Ling Xuanxuan's face slightly sunk as he spoke.
He would never get used to having the same temper as Ling Tianqing.
"Your Majesty, the Azure Sky Palace is about to be punished." There was another report from outside.
"My Lord, let's go to Hundred Flowers Pavilion first." Flower Speaker patted Lord Grim's shoulder, telling him not to argue with the King.
"Lord Grim, do you feel that it's a bit unfair for a dignified young duke like you to be a supervisor and be an official?" Ling Xi ignored the reports from outside and stared at the uncomfortable looking Lord Grim and asked.
"At least …" Lord Grim really did feel wronged. The Warden was too scary too. He didn't dare to look.
"You are born with a gentle personality, so you can't even bear to kill animals. If this duke were to let you be like Xue Hou and lead troops to kill enemies on the battlefield, would you be able to face it?" Ling Jin rebutted with a question.
Lord Grim lowered his head. He really couldn't face it.
He couldn't do something like fighting and killing.
"My Lord, letting Lord Grim handle the experiential learning in the imperial court for a few days is something that he probably wouldn't be able to accept." An ice-cold voice rang out, and Wen Han said without the slightest emotion.
"How about we have Lord Grim follow this subject for a few days?" Ling Xue also hurriedly said.
"Sigh, that won't do. This subject is willing to bring Lord Grim around to familiarize with the court." Flower Speaker sighed, seeing that the other two Marquis spoke up, she could only put on an act.
"If I let him follow you, he will probably become more familiar with women than the imperial court." Ling Zui glanced at Flower Speaker and said lightly.
These words … It was too direct.
"My Lord, let's go take a look …" "Empress." Ling Xue had also been thinking about this matter, afraid that Ling Tian would be punished by the empress dowager.
It's a little too early to call her 'Empress' now, but … Ling Xue did not know what to call Ling Tian Qing.
The only reason he could get Su Xiaoxiao back was all because of this young "Heaven Flying Immortal" girl.
If it wasn't for her, the real Su Xiaoxiao would have been tortured to death long ago.
"Your Majesty, go save the Empress, I …" This subject will learn from my brothers first. " Lord Grim also said.
As long as he wasn't allowed to be a supervisory officer, he could hold any other positions.
"Your Majesty, this subject will accompany you to meet the empress dowager. This subject has not paid respects to the empress dowager in a long time." Flower Speaker continued to persuade him.
From beginning to end, only Wen Han remained silent with an ice-cold expression.
He was unable to say it because he had been cold since he was young. No matter who he was, life or death had nothing to do with him.
However, whether it was the Fourth Marquis, whether it was the one who considered Ling Tian Qing to be his close friend, the one who considered Ling Tian Qing to be his savior, Ling Xue, or the one who did not understand what was going on, no one could be as anxious and heartbroken as he was.
As Wen Han listened to the urgent report five times within the time it took for an incense stick to burn, his ice-cold heart felt as if it had been cut open by a knife.
Perhaps it was because Ling Xuanxuan did not care about the Empress, but only treated her as the body of a phoenix. She was just a body of a phoenix that he had to obtain.
However, he cared about warmth and coldness.
Finally, it dispersed. The warm and cold air under the sunlight was like a piece of ice that could never be melted.
This kind of cage, he shouldn't have sent Ling Tian back.
"Ice Stick!" It was as if he could hear her extremely clear and melodious shout.
