Not only was there a lot of construction work in the imperial city in the past few days, at least a lot of things were built. These days were the emperor's birthday, and the whole country took a day off to celebrate.
King Ying performed well this year. He first sent Hongmeng Pearl, then led troops to suppress bandits, and also did many errands, all of which were very good.
The old minister suggested that King Ying offer sacrifices to heaven on behalf of the emperor, and the emperor agreed. This incident gave the queen and King Duan a great sense of threat.
They even started to join forces with the imperial concubine and her son King Rui, who had been fighting for more than ten years, determined to bring down the famous eldest brother first.
But they tried many tricks, but King Ying saw them all and tried to dismantle them.
During these days, Abbot Zong had not yet woken up, and no one could help them think of ways to borrow Taoist magic.
On the emperor's birthday, Abbot Kong reluctantly opened his eyes and listened to his eldest disciple report the situation. When he heard that Taoist Sun and his disciples died suddenly, he gave his eldest disciple a meaningful look.
Now that he is in poor health, he still needs to rely on this eldest disciple, so he will not deal with him for now, "Disciple, there is a bag of tips in the drawer under my bed. Please help me deliver it to Prince Duan."
He also warned his disciples, "There is a seal on this brocade bag. You cannot open it at will or give it to others, otherwise the messenger will be killed immediately."
The eldest disciple didn't know whether what he said was true or to scare him, so he could only reply with sincerity: "I don't dare, I will definitely deliver the kit to Prince Duan."
He was really afraid that there was some magic in this kit that could control him, so he obediently gave the kit away, and then went to Hongyi to report the matter.
He didn't dare to see Hongyi in person yet, so he only explained the situation to the contact person.
"Stupid, Zong Yingkong is just a mortal now, how can there be such a powerful magic?" Hong Yi's tone did not hide his contempt for the eldest disciple.
"This is in line with the characteristics of Zong Yingkong's disciples. If you want to survive under him, you must be timid and slippery."
Tang Yue was training at Third Brother Hong's place, and happened to hear something happening to his subordinates.
"From what you see, what plan will Kong Kong come up with?" Hongyi knew that Tang Yue had already competed with Kong Yingzong, now Zong Yingkong, and she was more familiar with this person.
"It's nothing more than sacrificing others to fulfill his own plan, but I don't know who will be sacrificed, so pay attention to the actions of King Duan and Queen."
"It's a pity that I can't use much of his magic power in the human world, otherwise it would be so troublesome."
At this time when Tang Yue and Brother Hong were discussing, they had not thought that the one Zong Yingkong wanted to sacrifice was himself.
On the day of the emperor's birthday, she went to the palace with her father and mother to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. Jin Shangshu went to the official's seat, and they went to the female family members' seat.
Unexpectedly, there were constant moths when she was asked to sit down. A total of three maids wanted to take the opportunity to bump into her and spill wine and food on her dress.
Tang Yue raised her eyebrows. Was she experiencing a common palace fight?
Mrs. Jin was very dissatisfied, "What happened to the person in charge of our palace today? Did it happen on purpose?" She got angry and got up to find a quarrel with Shang Gong, who was in charge of the banquet near the seat.
After a while, a young lady whom she didn't usually know invited her to see the flowers by the lake in the palace. On the other side, Hongyu was also grabbed by a lady.
Tang Yue felt that it would be better to experience such an exciting palace battle, and it could be considered a special sightseeing project.
She sent a message to Hong Yu, reminding her not to use demonic power. Hong Yu replied and said yes. She then followed the rich lady to the lake.
Sure enough, they had just chatted for a while when someone behind her pushed her into the lake.
Tang Yue pretended to fall into the lake, then turned around and stood on the shore again. The smile on the corner of the daughter's mouth was still there.
"Hey, I have been good at martial arts since I was a child. No matter how much others hurt me, they can't succeed." Tang Yue raised his right hand and clenched his fist.
The young lady looked frightened and said, "I didn't mean it just now."
Tang Yue directly lifted her up on the water, "Tell me, who sent you here and what benefits did you get, working so hard?"
Miss Qianjin is usually a pampered child who obeys her parents and has not suffered much. Now she is hanging on the water out of thin air and is in danger of falling. She doesn't know how to swim and is very scared.
"It's the third princess. She asked me to do this. She said that she would allow me to enter Prince Duan's palace after it is completed."
The third princess is Prince Duan's biological sister and the queen's second child. In this way, the queen keeps sending people to dirty her clothes.
She secretly cursed a lunatic, and as soon as she let go of her hand, the daughter fell into the water, "I'm sorry, my hands are sore. I believe the person you arranged is nearby. I'll call it for you."
She searched at the small door, and sure enough she saw the maids and nuns waiting here. There were quite a few of them. "Someone fell into the water. Go rescue her. I want to eat, so I'll leave first."
Mammy was a little stunned. It seemed that the person who fell into the water was Miss Jin. They all knew her. Why was she standing in front of her now?
"Aren't you going yet? Someone died in the palace, how can you, the bastards who set up a trap, have a good ending?"
After hearing her words, several palace maids changed their expressions and hurried in to save people.
Tang Yue was curious as he walked back, was this the trick Zong Yingkong used on King Duan? What was his intention?
Over there, King Duan heard the reports from his subordinates and knew that Hong Yu and Tang Yue had failed. These two women were both martial arts masters and ordinary people could not deal with them.
He was so angry that he threw two glasses. "Women should be dignified, virtuous and virtuous. Why do some parents train their daughters to learn martial arts from an early age?"
With a cruel heart, he directly ordered the secret guard, "Catch Jin Fu first, and Hong Yu later. Jin Fu must be captured today."
Before Tang Yue could return to the banquet, a group of men in black surrounded her. She didn't put up much resistance and allowed the men in black to take her away.
She wanted to know what was wrong with the queen. She could clearly send a decree and bring her to her palace to torture her, but why was it framed by the palace people and the man in black was behind it?
When he actually met the people behind the scenes, he realized that these people were not sent by the queen.
"Why did Prince Duan frame him today?" Tang Yue looked at him as if he were a fool, making Prince Duan instantly furious.
"You are an unruly woman who seduces Prince Duan everywhere. You are not worthy of being my wife. After today, you can just come into my house as a concubine."
Tang Yue was puzzled, "So what are you going to do today to make me change from a serious concubine to a concubine?"
Prince Duan laughed, looking very much like a treacherous villain, "You lost your virginity before marriage today, so of course you are not worthy of being my concubine."
Tang Yue was even more surprised, "Are you going to wear a cuckold on yourself today?"
King Duan was furious, "You...of course I will do it myself today."
Tang Yue understood, "Oh, you just want to do it yourself, and then frame me for losing my virginity, so that I can't be the main concubine. If you show your generosity and don't mind it, you can let me be the side concubine. Don't you?
Are you mentally retarded?"
Hey, according to this script, she will be a proper heroine with a tragic story.
"Hold her down, I'm going to beat her until she can't speak." King Duan has lost his mind. In the past, he prided himself on being gentle and kind to women, and he has never been cruel to women. Today he will make an exception.
After a period of confusion, King Duan and his men were lying on the ground.
King Duan was particularly miserable. Tang Yue beat him all over the face. Now his whole face was swollen, purple and black, and there was nosebleed all over his face. There was no good skin left, and he felt like he was going to be disfigured.
He was lying on the ground, breathing out but not in, in great pain. Not even the men in the room could deal with Jin Fu.
Tang Yue straightened his clothes and said, "If you have the ability, tell the emperor how you brought me here and why I beat you like this."
After saying this, she opened the door and went out. She had a bad mind and always acted like a bitch. She just needed more beatings.
She didn't expect that King Ying was also outside the door and was about to lead someone to break the door open.
King Ying breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was safe and sound and neatly dressed, "Afu, are you okay?"
Tang Yue chuckled, "I'm completely fine. Your Highness King Ying, your brother may have something going on, it's best to take a look at him.
King Ying smiled at her, his eyes were bright, and he was captivated by all living beings. "The queen will be here in a moment. The second brother will naturally be taken care of by the queen. Let's go back to the banquet first."
