The leader of the Yue Kingdom sat on the dragon chair and leisurely watched the singing and dancing below. His face was full of joy. The ministers did not know how happy the leader was.
That night, they received a banquet out of nowhere. What was even more strange was that the banquet didn't even have a name. Looking at the king sitting on the dragon throne, they always felt like their hearts were pounding.
The dancer danced to a wonderful place, and the king applauded repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good!"
This move shocked the ministers below, but looking at the expression on the king's head, it seemed that he was really happy about something, so they quickly followed suit.
Everyone knows that the companion of a king is like the companion of a tiger. If you are not careful, you can lose your head. You still need to master the most basic skill of observing words and emotions.
There was a scene of singing and dancing in the palace. The maids knelt on the ground and fed fruits to the king. But at this moment, the king suddenly spat something in his mouth onto the face of the little maid.
He kicked the palace maid who was kneeling aside and cursed: "What are you feeding me? Do you want to murder me?"
The little palace maid was trembling. After seeing the lord Long Yan was furious, she knelt and crawled in front of the lord, crying and saying: "This slave deserves to die, this slave deserves to die, please forgive me!"
The king waved his hands distractedly, and then two guards dragged the little palace maid down. Even the dancer stopped to make way for them, and the palace maid's screams could be heard all the way.
But even so, the king still seemed to be dissatisfied. He kicked over several maids who were kneeling aside, and then overturned everything on the low table in front of him.
The ministers below were so frightened that they all knelt on the ground: "Lord, please calm down!"
The lord of the country was very angry now. He looked unhappy and kept cursing: "They are all rubbish, rubbish! Get out of here!"
After saying that, he threw everything at hand, and the people below walked out crawling. None of them knew what was wrong with the king.
After everyone left, an older eunuch winked at the young eunuch and maid next to him, telling them to get out quickly.
After everyone left, the older eunuch stepped forward and asked, "Did the king think of that incident again and become furious?"
The king suddenly turned his face, pinched the eunuch's neck and said, "Xiao Lizi, are you taking too much care?"
Xiao Lizi panicked for a moment, but then calmed down: "I just think that the king should not get angry and ruin his body because of some unknown bitches. I feel sorry for the king when I see him!"
After saying this, Xiao Lizi's eyes turned red, and the king immediately let go of his neck. He knelt on the ground and gasped carefully, for fear that if he really angered him, his life would be lost.
Having been with the king for more than ten years, Xiao Lizi naturally knows the king's temper. Of course, he also knows the unknown things about him. This is the most important thing.
"My lord, please calm down first. Don't fight with your body in this hot weather. The small countries around here have brought some rare summer gadgets as tribute. How can I bring them to my lord?"
The king sighed, and sat on the dragon chair feebly. Looking at the huge palace, he felt extremely melancholy for a moment. He asked: "I am doing these things happily, but in my heart, there is still something."
What a thorn!"
Xiao Lizi knew that the leader of the country was talking about Duan Jiu, but Duan Jiu had already been sent to Yong State as a hostage, and there was no reason to take him back for a while.
So Xiao Lizi made a gesture of wiping his neck, and then asked carefully: "How about my servant help the king solve it?"
The king looked into the distance with dull eyes, then shook his head and said: "I can't let him be so happy. I want that bastard to repay all the pain that couple of bitches put on me."
Xiao Lizi didn't say anything when he saw this, but stood quietly next to the king. At this time, the king waved his hand tiredly and said: "You go down, I want to be alone for a while."
Xiao Lizi was overjoyed, but he still had to look worried on his face: "Then I will go first, my lord, please take care of yourself."
After Xiao Lizi left, the king looked at the mess in front of him. He stretched out his hand to pour himself a glass of wine and drank it in one sip. The wine was a bit strong and his throat was a little burnt after he drank it.
The burning sensation made the anger in his heart even more intense. He pinched the quilt and exerted force, and the cup fell apart in his hands.
For so many years, the resentment in his heart has not been released. Duan Jiu was not like him when he was born, and even less so when he grew up. He has never doubted Duan Jiu's mother, Concubine Xu.
But that time when he saw Concubine Xu having a private meeting with her cousin in the imperial garden, he knew that Concubine Xu was not a weak-tempered person, nor did she not like to laugh.
It's just that the person she loves is not herself, but her cousin. After seeing the friendship in Concubine Xu's eyes, he became even more jealous and wanted to rush out and kill the couple.
But he couldn't. Concubine Xu was still pregnant with her child. She originally wanted to wait until the child was born before teaching the couple a lesson. He always thought the child was innocent.
But he never expected that that woman was so bold that even the child was not her own. On the night Duan Jiu was born, Concubine Xu died in childbirth, leaving only one child.
He originally thought that the sky opened his eyes, and even the sky couldn't stand this bitch, but after Duan Jiu was born, he slowly realized that Duan Jiu was becoming less and less like him.
Duan Jiu's features looked more and more like Concubine Xu's cousin. Only then did he slowly realize that the child was not his, so he looked for an opportunity to confess his blood.
The two drops of blood were like water and fire, never blending together in the bowl. The first time was an accident, but what about the second and third time?
He couldn't deceive himself. Duan Jiu was like a needle stuck in his heart. He couldn't take it away, but he kept reminding him every word.
Later, when the Yue State and Yong State fought, it was Xu Guifei's cousin who led the army. He took the opportunity to cut off Xu Guifei's cousin's military rations, resulting in countless losses in the war.
But he didn't care, that man died without ever closing his eyes. But how could he let Duan Jiu go? He poisoned Duan Jiu and claimed that he was brought out of his mother's womb.
Later, when Yong Guo chose a proton, he chose Duan Jiu without hesitation. This needle cannot stay stuck in his heart like this.
When he knew that Duan Jiu was married to an ignorant woman from the countryside by Yong Guo, he was extremely happy and finally let out the anger he had been feeling for so many years.
But every time he thought of Duan Jiu, his heart still felt like being pricked by needles. This Duan Jiu must not be left alone. It was best to die in the Yong Kingdom, otherwise he would only die worse when he returned to the Yue Kingdom!
There was a trace of murderous intent in the eyes of the king. It was difficult to do anything when he was in the Yue Palace. After he was sent to the countryside, he had ten thousand ways to kill Duan Jiu.
But now, he just wants to see how Duan Jiu is tortured and humiliated.
