When he saw that various parts of the palace were being renovated and rearranged, Shen Zhuo knew that Xiao Yi was coming back.
Xiao Yi is not only returning to the court, but also returning to the court in a high-profile and grand manner!
The Tiansheng Iron Cavalry led by Xiao Yi crushed the Omar Empire, swept through a number of small vassal countries, and completed the great feat of unifying the ancient continent.
And all this only took three years.
If the vast sea had not blocked the journey to the north, Xiao Yi would have led Tiansheng's army further.
This great achievement is destined to be recorded in the annals of history and will be remembered forever. Along with Xiao Yi, his former concubine and now empress will be recorded in the annals of history, and will be immortalized forever: "General Feifeng" Lin Feifeng.
Xiao Yi fought for three years, and Lin Feifeng stayed with him on the battlefield for three years. Even the prince in his belly was delivered on the battlefield. This courage and courage really made him a husband among women. No wonder Xiao Yi had a deep affection for her.
Shen Zhuo sat cross-legged on the beam of the imperial study room and said "tsk" to himself. Compared with Lin Feifeng, he was really in the sky and on the earth.
At first, I was so deceived by lard that I actually wanted to compete with her for Xiao Yi's love.
On the table in the imperial study room, there were clearly placed the Queen's canonization edict and the memorial of the Queen's conferment ceremony. A few thin booklets were like needles piercing Shen Zhuo's eyes.
She had held the title of queen for four years in vain, but she had never held the phoenix seal, nor had she had a canonization ceremony.
Even if his heart has been riddled with wounds and is insensitive, Shen Zhuo still feels sad when he is treated so differently.
She gave her entire youth, all her sincerity and affection, but was scorned, thrown to the ground, and stepped on again and again.
Shen Zhuo was floating in the sky above the palace, reflecting deeply on her stupidity every day. She only hoped that the coffin would be buried as soon as possible and that she could escape from this cage-like place that suffocated her.
Peach Blossom Town is a small town thirty miles away from Kyoto. It is named after the Peach Blossom Creek and is rich in peach blossom rice cakes. It is the only place to pass in and out of Kyoto from the north.
Xiao Yi's army was stationed outside Taohua Town before entering the city.
"Your Majesty, the rice cakes are here."
Jiang Ning placed a plate of rice cakes on the table.
Every time Xiao Yi came back from war, he would buy some rice cakes in Taohua Town. Over the past ten years, this has become an unshakable habit for him.
Xiao Yi picked up a piece of rice cake and was waiting for the entrance when he suddenly saw Lin Feifeng sitting aside. He seemed to hesitate for a moment, then pushed the plate forward.
"Zitong, would you like to taste some?"
"The peach blossom rice cake is too soft and sweet, which is not suitable for my taste. If your majesty likes it, you can eat more." Lin Feifeng declined with a smile.
"Well, not all women will like this rice cake." Xiao Yi seemed to have thought of something and smiled slightly.
The sweet and soft rice cake in the mouth reminded Xiao Yi of a soldier carrying a big bag of rice cakes many years ago. He grinned at him and said: "This peach blossom rice cake is also called Desheng cake. Not all women like it, only Only a daughter-in-law who is a soldier will like it. Victory, victory, my daughter-in-law wants to please me and is looking forward to my return home!"
Xiao Yi ate very slowly. He savored it carefully. Well, it was very soft and sweet. It had maintained the taste for more than ten years. If you take it back to your daughter-in-law, she will still like it, right?
Lin Feifeng watched Xiao Yi chewing slowly and couldn't help but remain silent. It's just a piece of ordinary rice cake, why do you care so much about it?
Ever since Xiao Yi said he wanted to make her his queen in Agucheng, she felt that the distance between her and Xiao Yi was not close but far away, and they rarely had heart-to-heart conversations.
It had been a long time since she had heard Xiao Yi call himself "Second Brother", and it had been a long time since she had heard him call "Fourth Sister" again. It seemed that something happened in Agu City that quietly changed everything, but she didn't know anything about it.
Lin Feifeng couldn't help but tighten her palms. Maybe she should have accepted the piece of rice cake just now.
Xiao Yi finally returned to the palace before the New Year.
The first thing Xiao Yi did after returning to the palace was to reward him. The meritorious soldiers in this expedition were rewarded according to their merits. The most important part was Lin Feifeng's Queen's canonization ceremony.
On this day, Shen Zhuo was taking a nap in the coffin when she suddenly heard a "rumbling" sound coming from the ice cellar door. She quickly came out and saw that it was Xiao Yi.
Shen Zhuo took a long breath. Was this to confirm whether she was really dead? Well, it’s finally time to bury him.
After not seeing each other for three years, Xiao Yi's eyebrows have become deeper and deeper, and his facial features have become sharper. Even from such a distance, Shen Zhuo could feel the chilling air of war coming towards his face. Although Xiao Yi is no longer a handsome young man, he is still good-looking and has a particularly mature charm.
When she realized what she was thinking, Shen Zhuo was silent, and then she deeply despised herself again.
"Open the coffin." Xiao Yi said calmly.
Perhaps it is because the soul has not yet left the body and is stored in an ice cellar very deep underground, so even though three years have passed, Shen Zhuo's body has not decayed, but his appearance still remains, as if he was just sleeping.
Shen Zhuo was speechless when he saw Xiao Yi carrying a familiar oil-paper bag and putting it into her coffin. Is this considered a memorial to her? Use peach blossom rice cake? !
Shen Zhuo pouted. Actually, she really didn't like eating this peach blossom rice cake.
At first, it was because Xiao Yi bought it in person, and she felt happy. Even if she didn't like the taste, Shen Zhuo ate it happily. Later, every time Xiao Yi bought it again, she also ate it happily. Later, she heard that this cake was also called "Desheng Cake", so every time before and after Xiao Yi went on an expedition, she would make a special trip to Taohua Town to buy it.
This rice cake is made of coarse ingredients and has a sweet taste. It is a delicacy for the public, but it is not suitable for Shen Zhuo's appetite, which has been cultivated by the rich food and money.
Xiao Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the person in the coffin for a long time, then asked quietly:
"Where is the person who was in charge of the affairs of the Cold Palace now?"
"Back to Your Majesty, after the Cold Palace was burned down, the Queen Mother said that it was because the place was too remote and the water leakage was not discovered in time, so no more palaces were built here. The people who were originally in charge of the Cold Palace were assigned to other palaces." Jiang Ningchui He lowered his eyebrows and replied.
"Go find him and kill him all with a stick."
"Yes." Jiang Ning's heart trembled, but she didn't dare to say anything, she just agreed in a low voice.
"Who restrained himself in the coffin?"
"This... this old slave will go check it out immediately."
"Find them out and kill them all with sticks."
Jiang Ning was shocked when he heard this, and couldn't believe his ears for a moment. This, this is also going to be killed? Is it wrong to retreat into a coffin?
Jiang Ning secretly glanced at Xiao Yi, only to see that the latter's eyebrows were still and his expression was indifferent. He didn't show any anger or concern at all, as if he just said killing a few people with the stick was as casual as talking about what kind of tea he would drink today.
Jiang Ning's hands and feet were shaking a little, and he was breaking out in a cold sweat. His intuition told him that Xiao Yi was not normal right now, very abnormal. He couldn't help but bow lower, and became more cautious in his words and actions.
Shen Zhuo was so angry that his eyes were blood red. This man was so heartbroken! Shen Zhuo remembers that the person who restrained her was Chuntao from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a palace maid who still respected her even when she was in trouble.
Shen Zhuo's teeth chattered with hatred, wouldn't Xiao Yi let go of anyone who was kind to her? Even if she blocked his beloved woman's path to adulthood, Lin Feifeng and he had not met when she married him, and she had never felt sorry for him in the slightest. Was he determined to kill her like this? !
When Xiao Yi turned around and was about to leave the cellar, Jiang Ning walked behind him and asked cautiously:
"Your Majesty, what should I do with the empress's coffin?"
Xiao Yi raised his eyelids, turned his head to look, and said calmly:
"Just store it here and go bring more ice."
"ah?!"
Jiang Ning was completely shocked! This, this, is this not allowed into the imperial mausoleum? ! In all the dynasties of Tiansheng Dynasty, even deposed queens and sinful concubines have never had a precedent of not entering the imperial mausoleum.
Shen Zhuo was furious when he heard this! She suddenly floated in front of Xiao Yi, yelled at Xiao Yi, stretched out a pair of transparent hands to hit and scratch him.
It's a pity that she is just a wandering spirit, and all her anger cannot cause any real harm.
If he could turn into a physical entity, Shen Zhuo would definitely pounce on Xiao Yi and bite him hard! How much hatred and deep hatred would it take for her to die without a burial place!
Shen Zhuo felt that he was about to become a ghost from anger. Okay, if she is not allowed to be buried, then she will go and make a big fuss at Xiao Yi's queen conferment ceremony!
After being a wandering soul for three years, Shen Zhuo discovered that although she did not have the magic power described in the storybook, she could still blow a little wind. Although it's not very useful, it's still good to pretend to be a ghost and scare people.
