Chapter 345 Suzaku
Chapter 345 Suzaku
He Yuwen sighed, sat on the ground, opened another jar of wine, and took a big gulp: "If I wanted to rebel, you would have died in my hands with so many opportunities. I would not have charged into battle to help you defend this country and almost lost my life."
"He Yuwen." Emperor Tianshun looked at the still hazy figure in front of him and murmured, "I was wrong."
He Yuwen was startled and when he looked in his direction, he found that he was already lying on the ground and asleep.
He shook his head helplessly. After so many years, why is he still like this? He Yuwen placed him on the low couch next to him and turned to leave.
After a while, Emperor Tianshun, who was lying on the couch, slowly opened his eyes. How could there be any sign of drunkenness in his clear eyes?
He Yuwen, you are still alive, you are still alive.
When the empress came to the imperial study, Emperor Tianshun was already fast asleep. She ordered the palace servants to clean up the wine jar on the ground. At this moment, Emperor Tianshun woke up slowly: "Empress."
"I, my concubine, see you, Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you lately? The news of your suspension of court has already reached me."
"It's my fault for making the Queen worry. I've made you worry before you even finish your confinement." Emperor Tianshun said with a little apology: "I'm fine, Queen, you should go back and rest!"
Ever since the incident with the poisonous insect, Emperor Tianshun was unwilling to get close to her. Whenever he saw her, the scene of the poisonous insect being taken out of her body flashed through his mind, and he felt extremely disgusted.
The Queen knew exactly what he was thinking, so she bowed and returned to Fengyi Palace.
"Your Highness," the nanny whispered, "Your Highness, the Emperor doesn't care about you as much as before."
"Hmph, so what?" The queen sneered, "Do you think I care about you?" She looked at the baby in the cradle and said with a smile, "I only need the princess, as for others, they are not important."
"My queen, you don't have a legitimate son. If the emperor dies one day and the prince succeeds to the throne, according to Concubine Zhao's character, she will want to get rid of you as soon as possible. What should I do then?"
"Don't worry. The day of desperate struggle has not come yet. Even if that time comes, I will naturally find a way." No one can harm her child. No one can.
Two days later, He Jingheng did not receive the emperor's edict of repentance, but instead received a letter from his father.
He Jingheng looked at the letter with a frown on his face.
"what happened?"
Shang Ruoyi asked in a low voice when she saw him like this.
"Father, I'm going to see the Emperor."
"so what?"
He Jingheng handed the letter to her directly. Shang Ruoyi read the contents and couldn't help laughing: "No wonder my father has no intention of rebelling."
"What do you mean?"
What else could it mean?
Prince Dingguo is absolutely a first-rate expert at leading troops in battle, but when it comes to scheming, I'm afraid even several heads combined are no match for Emperor Tianshun.
"My father, considering the reputation of the royal family, does not want to pursue the matter too much and asks us to accept the imperial edict brought by Lord Xu and return to the capital." He Jingheng's voice was low, full of anger and unwillingness.
Shang Ruoyi smiled when she heard this: "Father is thinking this way, what about you? What do you think?"
"I will never return to the capital unless I see this edict of apology."
Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly: "When a general is on the battlefield, he may not obey military orders. You should learn more from your father."
Shang Ruoyi's words made him laugh out loud.
"I think the same as you do." Shang Ruoyi said seriously, "If we go back like this, the Dingguo Palace will still not be able to get rid of the charge of treason. Since he forced this hat on our heads, let him take it back the way he put it."
At night, figures shuttled through the jungle like ghosts.
At the other end of the forest, a woman was seen lying on her back on a white tiger, with Yuntian standing behind her.
Just at this moment, a figure rushed out from the woods and flew towards her, and Shang Ruoyi suddenly opened her eyes.
"Your subordinate Yunqi greets the Crown Prince's wife."
"Your subordinate Bai Zhou greets the Crown Princess."
"Your subordinate Zhou Yu greets the Crown Prince's wife."
"Your subordinate Ye Xu greets the Crown Prince's wife."
······
Only one hundred Iron Feather Guards actually passed this assessment.
"Not bad." Shang Ruoyi said with a smile: "Looking at your body movements, you have gained a lot during this period of time."
"Thank you for your guidance, Princess." Hundreds of voices echoed throughout the forest.
Shang Ruoyi looked at them and whispered, "From now on, you are no longer the secret guards of Dingguo Palace, nor the Iron Feather Guards."
"Princess, what are we then?"
"Suzaku."
what?
"The Vermillion Bird is an ancient mythical beast that can both bring peace to the four directions and drive away evil. I want you to be like the Vermillion Bird and become a sharp blade that brings peace to the four seas. Can you do it?"
"I will follow the order of the Crown Prince's Consort!"
"I will follow the order of the Crown Prince's Consort!"
"In order to test your results, I will now assign you your first task." Shang Ruoyi said coldly: "You 100 people, divide into four teams, and go to the capital to get a few things without disturbing others."
Within a few days, news of theft spread in the palace.
Emperor Tianshun looked at the note in his hand and almost fainted with anger.
"He Yuwen, He Jingheng, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
He looked at the empty place where the jade seal was originally placed, and his heart tightened. He hurried forward and saw that the black box next to the jade seal was still there, and the tiger talisman inside was still there. His heart finally settled down.
Picking up the box, he frowned. The weight was wrong!
He hurriedly took out the tiger talisman, only to find that only half of it was left.
Emperor Tianshun couldn't help but tremble all over. He took away the jade seal and half of the tiger talisman. What were they going to do with the Dingguo Palace? Were they going to claim the throne?
"Your Majesty." Concubine Zhao walked in with her belly bulging: "What's wrong with you?"
At this time, Emperor Tianshun's face turned pale and he said in a cold voice: "Get out! Get out!"
Concubine Zhao was shocked. She had been in the palace for so long, but the emperor had never treated her like this. What was going on?
But even though she had thousands of doubts and grievances in her heart, she had no choice but to obey.
When they walked out of the palace, Concubine Zhao looked back with a fierce look, then turned around and left quickly.
Shang Ruoyi looked at the jade seal and half of the tiger talisman brought back by Zhuque, her eyes full of smiles.
He Jingheng smiled and said, "If you do this, the emperor will probably go crazy."
"What's the big deal if he's crazy? You guys are just too honest. Why should we listen to everything he says? We're both human beings, so why is he noble? Isn't he a mortal?"
He Jingheng looked at her and for a moment felt that what she said made a lot of sense.
"So, you founded Suzaku just to do these things? What's the difference between this and the secret guards?"
