Five days later.
Tibetan seven and three people rushed into the west camp of the imperial capital.
In the handsome tent.
Li Jianping stepped back and listened to the military information brought by Zang Qi. He opened the wet ice box and looked at the python meat wrapped in ice. His eyes were full of joy: "The belly meat of the divine dragon, next to the dragon's heart. .....He is a confidant!”
"Zang Qi, when I get back, wait until I thank the prince!"
Zang Qi was very respectful to this former third-ranked general in the mainland: "The prince said that you have been fighting for many years and you must have many hidden diseases. Stewing this piece of python meat with northern ginseng can activate your blood and expel the diseases in your body." Hidden disease, restore your vitality."
"Your martial arts journey can continue again!"
Li Jianhu's eyes lit up: "Your Majesty is indeed a miracle doctor. He can still detect my illness without even seeing me!"
"Giving dragon meat to someone thousands of miles away, Li Jianming is deeply touched by this love."
"I didn't follow the wrong person!"
Speaking of which.
Li Jian asked seemingly casually: "Your Majesty, do you have anything else to say...for my daughter?"
Zang Qi shook his head!
Li Jian smiled bitterly!
Unrequited love is the most painful!
but.
The king of Huangzhou is a strange man, worthy of his daughter’s lovesickness!
Immediately afterwards.
Li Jian and Zang Qi discuss sending the dragon head to celebrate his birthday!
Soon after, the two entered the palace together.
In the courtyard of Gushan Palace.
With Emperor Xia's permission, the gate was opened and Zang Qi could enter.
Zang Qi knelt in front of the Gushan dormitory, holding a wooden tray in his hand, with a python head wrapped in ice on it: "My dear concubine, the prince said that the first day of June is your birthday. He is far away in the barren state and cannot make it. When I come back to celebrate your birthday, I can only kill the python and send its head back as a gift to express the prince’s heart.”
"This python has lived for thousands of years. It was mistaken for a divine dragon by the mountain people in the deserted mountains. The meat from its head can drive away hidden diseases and make the queen healthy."
"The horn can detoxify hundreds of poisons. If you carry it with you, it can drive away filth and protect the queen from all evil!"
"The prince said that he will feel at ease only if the imperial concubine is in good health in the imperial capital."
Concubine Qin came out dressed up and picked up the wooden tray herself: "Get up!"
"It's hard work for you kid to come all the way!"
This sentence is like a mother's caring words.
Zang Qi’s heart warmed!
The prince's mother is indeed just like the prince, her words can warm people's hearts.
but.
Zang Qi looked at the cold Gushan Palace. There was not even a maid or eunuch serving the palace. The hostess and concubine had to carry the plates themselves, and his eyes turned cold.
However, he can't do anything now!
I just have to go back and tell the prince!
The imperial concubine was thrown into the cold palace by the emperor!
Concubine Qin brought the python head back into the house, turned around and went out, waiting to ask about Xia Tian's situation.
At this time.
Emperor Xia's voice came closer and closer: "Your Majesty, Xiaojiu is being partial!"
"He killed the legendary dragon and gave you the most precious dragon head to celebrate your birthday. I have nothing!"
"It seems that he is still complaining about me!"
Everyone saluted quickly.
"Get up!"
Emperor Xia walked to the front of the palace and stood side by side with Concubine Qin. His eyes were full of doubts: "Little messenger, tell me... your prince killed the legendary dragon, why didn't he respect me?"
Zang Qi replied seriously: "Reporting to your Majesty, the prince said that dragons do not eat dragons!"
Emperor Xia was stunned: "What's the explanation?"
Zang Qi explained: "This is a thousand-year-old python, which was misunderstood as a divine dragon by the local mountain people. Although it is a pseudo-dragon, enjoying the incense of those foreign races in the barren state will inevitably be tainted with a trace of dragon energy!"
"If I give his meat as a tribute to Your Majesty and eat it, the people of the world will think that the dragon has eaten the dragon, and it will attract gossip from the people of the world."
"So, the prince said that if your majesty is criticized by the world because he gave him fake dragon meat, he would rather the world say he is unfilial."
"So, the prince is willing to accept the punishment!"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia stood beside Concubine Qin, and his laughter was a little more joyful than usual: "So, I have to accept your prince's consideration?"
"Did your prince teach you these words?"
"yes!"
Zang Qi confessed: "The prince said that if His Majesty asks, he must explain clearly!"
Emperor Xia said thoughtfully: "In other words, I haven't eaten the pseudo-dragon meat, so I still want to remember Xiao Jiu!"
"This is so good that I have nothing to say!"
"interesting!"
"So, if your prince doesn't give me pseudo-dragon meat, it's not unfilial, but filial."
"If I punish your prince, I will repay kindness with evil, and there will be no distinction between right and wrong!"
suddenly.
Emperor Xia asked the historian next to him: "Tie Gu, according to this statement, if I punish the Ninth Prince for not being filial to the pseudo-dragon meat... what will you write in the history books?"
"Is it a fool to write that I don't understand good people's hearts?"
Tie Gu was noncommittal: "Your Majesty, the historian is only recording the facts. Whether you are a foolish king or not will be commented by future generations!"
Emperor Xia thought for a while: "I know!"
"Since it is Xiaojiu's filial piety, I received it!"
"You go back and tell Xiaojiu that I will hold a grand birthday palace banquet for his mother and concubine!"
"yes!"
"Also, the imperial court has decided to send troops to Huangzhou, asking your prince to resist the enemy in Huangzhou and wait for reinforcements. He is not allowed to retreat to Qingzhou. He must firmly hold back the Sirius people in Huangzhou. When the imperial army arrives, he will completely annihilate the Sirius army. !”
Emperor Xia drew a big cake!
"yes!"
"Back off!"
Zang Qi said goodbye to Emperor Xia and Concubine Qin and returned.
At this time.
Concubine Qin's face turned cold: "Your Majesty, when you asked Tian'er to wait for help in Huangzhou, did you want him to die in Huangzhou?"
Emperor Xia shook his head and smiled meaningfully: "If he didn't die, this world would be interesting!"
Finished.
Emperor Xia turned around and walked into the house, looked at the python dragon head in the tray, and said loudly: "Back then, nine heroes in the world were competing for hegemony. Emperor Qin Zulong beheaded the dragon head to destroy the eight kingdoms and unified the world. Today, my Xiaojiu beheads the dragon head and can destroy the Heavenly Wolf. An army?”
"I'm really looking forward to it!"
Concubine Qin was silent!
Now, she couldn't see clearly, what exactly did the Emperor of Great Xia want to do to Xia Tian?
"My dear concubine, Xiaojiu is still complaining about me and refuses to give me python meat. Therefore, I can only drink soup from you. Are you willing to do so?"
Concubine Qin nodded: "Send it to me openly and give it to you secretly. This is Tian'er's intention."
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia laughed heartily, looked at the ice cubes in the wooden tray and said: "In May, the ice between heaven and earth has melted long ago, but Xiaojiu's messenger was able to make ice all the way to prevent the python head from rotting. It's really amazing!"
"Concubine, do you think Xiao Jiu is really a saint?"
Emperor Xia asked seemingly casually, but he looked at Concubine Qin seriously.
Concubine Qin looked at him: "He is His Majesty's child. What does Your Majesty think?"
"Hahaha......"
Emperor Xia didn't answer either.
the other side.
In the imperial capital city, Ye Mansion.
In the secret room.
On this May day, people in the imperial capital have begun to wear single clothes.
However, Ye Jinlian was still wearing fox fur and seemed to be very afraid of the cold.
at this time.
Her pale little face was very nervous, and she asked like a girl who was concerned about her lover: "How is he, Your Majesty?"
Zang Qi took out an ice box: "Your Majesty went into the wilderness and killed the legendary dragon, but it was actually a thousand-year-old python. This is the belly meat of the python. It was given to you by Your Majesty."
"The prince said that when you went through the disaster, you were alone in the ice and snow. You were frostbitten and suffered from hidden diseases. If you stew this python meat and eat it, you can get rid of the hidden diseases and regain your strength!"
Ye Jinlian's eyes turned red and she was a little touched: "It turns out that he still cares about me!"
Finished.
She wiped away her tears and took out a wooden box: "Please bring these spies to the prince."
"good!"
Zang Qi took it with him and turned around to leave: "The prince said that safety comes first in the imperial capital. If something cannot be done, don't force it. The revenge of your parents will eventually be repaid!"
Ye Jinlian's heart warmed even more: "Tell the prince that Jinlian is here waiting for him to return to the imperial capital!"
"Whoosh..."
Zang Qi opened the door of the secret room and disappeared into the night, as if he had never appeared before.
Ye Jinlian walked out of the secret room, looked west at Huangzhou, and murmured: "Your Majesty, I am no longer that cowardly little girl!"
"I've become strong enough to help you!"
"Jinlian is in the Imperial Capital, waiting for your return!"
"Waiting for you to take over the power of this world and make it free of bandits!"
"Peace to all families!"
"Wait for you......"
