"Your Majesty will not suffer any loss if you cooperate with me." Wen Jirou crossed her legs, "Your Majesty must have already noticed that the Holy One has been suspicious of you for a long time."
"Humph, of course I know. Over the years, how many people have he sent to check on me?"
"The Mingyue Sect was able to come forward and deal with these people for the prince without leaving any trace. Naturally, it's because they are all a bunch of trash." Wen Jirou fanned the jade bone fan in his hand, and the gentle breeze lifted him up. The long hair beside his ears, "But if I go back and report to the Holy One that the prince has no intention of causing trouble in southern Xinjiang and only wants to guard this piece of land in southern Xinjiang for the Holy One, the Holy One will naturally not have any objections to the prince again." Suspicious. Even praise the prince."
A deep furrow formed between King Nanyue's brows: "Wen Jirou, what is your purpose?"
"It's very simple. Let your concubine Su go to the Mingyue Sect's Shenyue Palace to pray for blessings." Wen Jirou raised a smile on her lips, "In order to obtain the Mingyue Sect's five stone powder, the prince is afraid that he will have to contribute to the Mingyue Sect every year. Just a little gold and silver."
King Nanyue was shocked, and felt as if a cold blade was pressing against his back.
Wen Jirou, actually knows everything? If he became an enemy today, could he really escape unscathed? King Nanyue felt a trace of cold sweat running down his back.
During the battle for the throne, he once stood on the team of the former prince, but the former prince was defeated and the one who took over was Xiao Yanjing, whom none of them had expected. At that time, he felt that everything was over, but he didn't know if Even God was determined to let him go. A prince who was thousands of miles away did not contribute much in the battle for the throne, so the current emperor let him go while he was purging the former prince's gang members. , but now it seems that Xiao Yanjing has always regarded him as a thorn in his side.
Wen Jirou's ability to survive despite the huge power of the former prince definitely relied on more than just his brains.
"King Nanyue, cooperate with me, and I guarantee that you will be above all the people in Southern Xinjiang. The Holy One will never cause you any trouble again. And the Mingyue Sect will never threaten you with anything again."
King Nanyue looked straight at the man in front of him, but his mind was spinning rapidly.
Wen Jirou looked at King Nanyue, but she was still as calm as before: "The prince will not suffer at all from this transaction. Concubine Su is just a beauty to the prince. If you don't have it, you can find it again. If you can Give me a helping hand, and when the time comes, the prince can have as many Mingyue Sect's Five Stone Powders as he wants, so why would he need to spend so much gold and silver."
King Nanyue suddenly opened his eyebrows and laughed: "Wen Jirou, Wen Jirou, you are indeed as mysterious as the legend says. I don't know what method you used to push the current emperor to succeed to the throne, but today , I can help you with this. I will send someone to inform Mingyue Cult Leader later that Su Shi, the side concubine of Nanyue Palace, is eager to have a son. She hopes to go to Shenyue Palace to pray for the moon god's blessing and give birth to a son for Nanyue Palace. "
A gust of wind suddenly blew from outside the window, causing the slightly open window to creak.
The climate in southern Xinjiang is always confusing. One moment it was clear skies, and the next moment it started to rain heavily.
Before Su Wenqian's sedan could get out of the gate of Prince Nanyue's Mansion, it was blocked by heavy rain. She picked up a corner of the curtain with her slender hand, and her two willow-leaf eyebrows knitted together: "The rain is so heavy, we won't go today."
Beside the sedan, a woman over forty with her hair in a bun lowered her head and whispered to the person who raised the curtain: "Princess, the prince has ordered that you must go up the mountain today. The princess and the other concubines are You have only given birth to a daughter for the prince every year. You also hope to give birth to a son for the prince as soon as possible. The Mingyue Sect is so efficacious that it is rare for you to go up the mountain to pray for blessings with the prince's permission. But you must be sincere. Besides, the prince has given permission. What does it mean that you went up the mountain to pray for blessings? It means that he also very much hopes that you can give birth to a son. You must not live up to this honor."
Su Wenqian glanced at her mouth and rolled her beautiful red phoenix eyes reluctantly. However, she felt that what Nanny Feng said was very reasonable, so she put down the curtain in her hand and sat quietly in the sedan chair with her eyes closed to relax.
She grew up under the care of Nanny Feng since she was a child. In the Su Mansion where many women were jealous, it was because of Nanny Feng that she was able to win her father's attention and was able to successfully marry into the Nanyue Prince's Palace. She obeyed everything. Nowadays, King Nanyue is constantly favoring him, but he has no heir. How can she not understand that serving people with sex will not last long? If she can be pregnant with the prince of Nanyue King's house, her status will be stable, even if her heart is Even if she didn't want to, she naturally obeyed.
Sure enough, after a while, the heavy rain began to gradually lighten up, but after a while, only sparse raindrops fell one by one along the eaves of the car.
Nanny Feng, who had been observing the sky, also became a little excited. She lay beside the sedan and said, "Princess Side, the rain has stopped. Let's set off immediately."
After the people in the sedan gave a slight "hmm", Grandma Feng waved to the bearers in front and back, and the gorgeous eight-carriage sedan immediately left the ground and started walking steadily.
The vast mountains are green and green, towering into the clouds.
As the sun passed over the head fiercely and began to move westward, the mighty Nanyue Palace team finally reached Shushi Mountain. Not long after passing halfway up the mountain, a woman in a black dress and long hair appeared in the middle of the road, blocking Princess Side's driving team.
The black veil on her face hung down to her chest. In the sweltering Shushi Mountains, the woman was like ice in winter, making those who saw her shudder.
When Grandma Feng saw someone blocking her car, she rushed forward angrily and asked, "Who is so bold and dares to block Princess Si's car?"
The woman's only eyes exposed outside the black gauze glanced at Aunt Feng coldly. The moment their eyes met, she seemed to be stabbed by something in the back, and a line of cold sweat flowed down her back.
"Under the order of the leader, I am here to welcome Concubine Su. Not far ahead is my teaching. I ask Concubine Su to abandon the sedan chair and walk up the mountain with me."
The woman's faint voice came. Although she was still some distance away from the car, her voice was clearly transmitted into the sedan.
Su Wenqian suddenly opened the car curtain, and the ring on his hand made a jingling sound. She walked out of the car, stood in front of the sedan and glared: "Who do you think you dare to stop me? Do you know that if you offend me, you are offending the Nanyue Palace."
A laughter like a silver bell rang, and with the laughter, countless tiny black insects seemed to fly out of the woman's sleeves. As if someone had guided her in the direction, they all flew straight towards the car.
Su Wenqian could only see a flash of black shadow in her eyes, which made her look pale. She took a step back unconsciously, raised her hands on her face and used the wide sleeves of her clothes to block the little bugs that tried to fly towards her. .
The black shadows seemed to have ignored her and flew behind her.
ah--
A scream came from the guards behind the car.
Su Wenqian quickly turned around, but was horrified to find that all the guards who followed the car fell to their knees, holding their heads in pain with their hands. None of the weapons that were supposed to be the most important could be held tightly in their hands.
Su Wenqian's face suddenly turned pale.
Nanny Feng on the side immediately realized something and hurriedly ran forward a few steps. She clasped her hands in front of her chest and bowed several times to the masked woman. Her sharp voice was trembling slightly at this time: "Young lady, please be merciful, my princess." She is too young and ignorant, so I will help my princess walk up the mountain with the girl."
"Concubine Su of the Nanyue Palace is still young and is deeply loved by the prince. Of course she will be a little willful, and the leader will naturally not be serious." The woman's eyes slightly curved and she turned around.
"Girl, what about the tribute that our prince has sincerely prayed for for his concubine and dedicated to the Mingyue Sect?" Aunt Feng hurriedly taught the masked woman and pointed to the group behind the car.
Next to the guard who was still rolling on the ground with his head in his arms, huge boxes were neatly placed on the back of the cart and followed Su Wenqian's car up the mountain.
"They will be fine after burning the incense, and someone will come to pick it up later. Concubine Su just follow me." After that, she walked forward, leaving only her back.
Nanny Feng had no choice but to trot back to Su Wenqian, took her hand, and motioned for her to step off the sedan.
Su Wenqian pursed her cherry lips and twisted her body reluctantly: "Mother Feng, this mountain road is so rugged, how do you want me to walk?"
Aunt Feng had no choice but to pat the back of Su Wenqian's hand and comfort her softly: "My dear, please bear with me for a while. You all know the effectiveness of the Mingyue Sect. If this trip can really help you find an heir for yourself, then all this pain will be worth it." Besides, if you can send these tributes to the Mingyue Sect intact, you will have fulfilled the prince's instructions, and the prince will definitely pay more attention to you in the future."
Although Su Wenqian had a very reluctant expression on her face, she still raised her feet. Nanny Feng immediately supported her and followed her in small steps.
The road up is not difficult, and the green shade is becoming more and more lush. No matter whether Nanny Feng and Su Wenqian walked fast or slowly, the missing woman in black shirt in front left a figure for them.
After walking for about a cup of tea, when Su Wenqian finally couldn't stand it any longer, a sea of blue-purple gentian flowers appeared in her field of vision. The endless sea of flowers looked so vivid under the sunlight, which made her She forgot the hard work of walking for a moment and couldn't help but exclaimed.
She boasted that she had lived a life of fine clothing and food since she was a child, and she used all the best things. After marrying into the prince's palace, the quality of the items she used only increased. But even so, such a large sea of flowers has never been Not seen.
The whole person was clad in a sea of gentian flowers, and a strange fragrance surrounded the two of them. When even Aunt Feng was also surprised, a palace fell into their eyes.
A pure white Shenyue Temple reflected dazzling light under the sunlight, making Su Wenqian unable to open his eyes. The surroundings of the Shenyue Palace are actually inlaid with fine jade. Although they have not been carved by the jade carver's skillful hands and only maintain their original shape, they are still blooming here with their brightest brilliance.
At this time, the woman in black who had only left her back to them appeared in front of the two of them again. In the sea of flowers, the woman in black seemed very abrupt.
The woman made a gesture of invitation to Shenyue Palace: "Please, Concubine Su, this is the temple for blessings of our religion. The saint of our religion has returned to our religion with the blessings of the Moon God. If Concubine Su is sincere today, Praying, your wish will definitely come true.”
Su Wenqian looked at the temple that was shining in her eyes, and the hand holding Nanny Feng actually trembled with excitement.
"My Lady, don't panic. As long as you pray sincerely, your wish will definitely come true." Aunt Feng quietly squeezed Su Wenqian's hand to reassure her, and wanted to help her move forward.
At this time, the woman in black stretched out her hand to stop the two of them: "Shenyue Palace also invites Concubine Su to go alone. The saint of my religion is not visible to ordinary people."
When Su Wenqian saw this, she was about to retort, but Nanny Feng quickly grabbed her. After decades of living in the mansions of wealthy families, she had already developed the ability to read people's looks. Just now, when she was halfway up the mountain, she She had already seen that this woman in black was definitely not someone to be trifled with, at least the two of them couldn't afford to offend her at all. She could only pull Su Wenqian's sleeves, ask her to come over and say in her ear: " Empress, you are the most important thing in everything, I will wait for you here."
Su Wenqian nodded, lifted up the hem of her skirt with both hands, and walked towards the Shenyue Palace through the sea of flowers.
The Shenyue Temple, which had always been dark all year round, was rarely lit with open fires today. The candles on the surrounding white stone walls sizzled, illuminating the entire hall very brightly.
Su Wenqian struggled to push the door open and walked in cautiously. The hem of her dress seemed a little heavy because it was stained with dew on the gentian flowers when she passed through the sea of flowers. It made it difficult for her to walk. Somewhat strenuous.
In the huge palace, there was a high platform that was as tall as one person. The whole body of the high platform was made of white marble. Under the light of the fire, her complete figure was reflected.
Looking from a distance, there is a stone statue carved from jade standing on the high platform. It is gorgeous and complicated. It seems that this is the moon god that Mingyue Sect has always believed in.
Su Wenqian walked in small steps, wanting to get closer to the white marble platform.
When she walked further inside, she discovered that there was a woman standing on the jade staircase leading to the white marble platform.
The woman's back was turned to her, and she was wearing a moon-white robe that was spread all the way to the bottom of the jade staircase. Her long black hair hung down, and was tied back with only a silver hairpin. Bun.
Could she be a saint?
Su Wenqian couldn't help but cough slightly.
The woman seemed to have noticed someone behind her and turned around slowly.
Su Wenqian's face turned a little pale.
