"What?" The guard who left nearest was stunned. Before he could figure out what happened, a cold sword was already placed on his neck.
Under the moonlight, the cold blade of the sword shone with a cold light, which made the guard feel a knot in his heart, feeling that he would die in the next second.
He couldn't help but lament in his heart: Why is his luck so bad today? He thought that escorting such a patient would be the easiest job, as long as he could run around at night, but he didn't expect to provoke such a person...
"Where did you originally want to take them?" Chi Feng said coldly, looking away, glancing at the circle of people on the side, then turning back, continuing to stay on the guard's face, and insisted
It was late at night, and the bright lights in the palace had been extinguished, leaving only a few lighting lamps, making the entire palace appear dim.
Because of the epidemic, the current ministers and Xuanyuan Jin discussed it very late, so Xuanyuan Jin kept all the ministers in the palace so that they could listen to the latest report from the Imperial Hospital early tomorrow morning, and then everyone discussed the issue.
solution.
After all, burning all infected people to death is too controversial!
Many veterans have objected. Once everyone is burned to death, it will not help but affect the public sentiment and may provoke a war! Neighboring countries have been eyeing this place recently. If an epidemic breaks out here and so many people are burned to death, the neighboring countries may
Will use this resentment to attack the city in one fell swoop...
This is, to say small, really not small at all!
"I am tired. Can we discuss this matter tomorrow?" Holding his forehead, Xuanyuan Jin closed his eyes tiredly, pressed his eyebrows, and then waved to the ministers in front of him, signaling them to go ahead.
Retreat and go to the temporarily arranged places to rest first.
"Yes." The ministers agreed in unison, whispered to each other, and then swarmed out of the study door and disappeared into the night, leaving Xuanyuan Jin alone to grieve...
He doesn't know what's wrong with this country?
Last time, the enemy troops from neighboring countries pressed on the border, and now the domestic plague is raging... Waves of countercurrents came one after another, leaving him wondering where to go? Is it really so difficult to become an emperor?
And there is another very important thing that has always bothered him and made him uneasy - that is, the carriage he saw on top of the city tower that day when the enemy troops invaded the border, and the figure in the carriage...
My intuition feels like Xuanyuan Hao, but is that really Xuanyuan?
Whether he is dead or alive... Even Xuanyuan Jin dare not make a conclusion on this point now! He just knows that if Xuanyuan Hao is alive, his path to power will be even more difficult!
"Your Majesty, you are also tired. How about a bowl of ginseng soup?" At this moment, a soft voice came from the side, Wu Nong's warm words, which made people's hearts melt instantly.
Xuanyuan Jin raised his eyebrows and just glanced at the rouged palace maid next to him, with strong sarcasm and disdain in his eyes - in this current situation, there are still women in the harem who want to use him to gain power?
Do you think he is also a person who only admires beauty?!
What a joke! That was just a joke on his part!
"Ginseng soup?" He said with a slight smile, stretched out his hand to pinch the woman's chin, curled the corners of his lips, paused, and then continued to speak softly, "Are you sure you are just here to deliver ginseng soup?"
"Your Majesty..." A hint of shyness flashed across the palace maid's face. She lowered her head and smiled shyly. A deliberate blush flashed across her face, mixed with her red rouge, which made people look even more angry.
.
It can be seen that this woman has put in a lot of effort!
"I am waiting for your answer..." Xuanyuan Jin spoke softly, got a little closer, and leaned in, his tone extremely ambiguous.
"I... no, this slave is actually..." The palace maid pulled at the corner of her clothes uneasily, but her heart was full of joy - had the prince finally seen her "existence"?
And looking at it now, the prince's attitude towards her seems... very funny!
If the prince favors her at this time, after a few days, when the prince ascends the throne, she can break away from her status as a palace maid and become a phoenix after stepping onto a branch...
"Are you actually here to take advantage of this king's rise to power?" Xuanyuan Jin said sarcastically, and he quickly let go of her chin with a look of disdain on his face, which directly revealed what she was thinking when she was confused and fascinated.
"Your Majesty..." The woman was stunned, her little face turned red instantly, she pursed her lips, and stood aside without daring to say anything.
"Get away!" With a strong push, he took action directly, causing the woman to stagger back a few steps, then turned around. Just as he was about to continue dealing with national affairs, the woman hugged her up without realizing it...
"My lord, please..." This is her only chance!
With a "ping" sound, the door was kicked open from the outside. The thick red-painted door swayed a few times and leaned crookedly to the side...
Xuanyuan Hao strode in, looked at the man and woman "embracing" on the main seat with cold eyes, his face turned dark to the extreme: "You started enjoying it before the country was stable?"
