"Your Highness the Crown Prince," Naoyang Si twisted the green ribbon under her clothes and told an earth-shattering thing: "Less than half a month after you and Duke Zhao went to Fengyi, Your Majesty made the Marquis of Qi the prince.

Cook and kill!"

"Ah——" Ji Hu felt that his hair was about to explode, and a cold chill extended from his hair to his heels. After a long time, he mumbled and asked: "Then------what exactly?

Why?"

Naoyang Si sighed softly and slowly told the whole story. In fact, King Zhou Yi just wanted to detain Qi Hou Lu Buchen at first, and waited until he was willing to hand over Prince Xi to see how to deal with it. But that day

The spies sent by Marquis Ji to Yingqiu came to Haojing and brought two pieces of news, which completely angered King Zhou Yi.

The first news was that Prince Xi escaped to Laiyi. Originally, King Zhou Yi had been mentally prepared for Ji Xi's escape, but he escaped to Laiyi instead. It was a lawless land of the Zhou Dynasty.

He has always been eyeing the Central Plains, and now Ji Xi is a guest on the throne of Laiyi. What does this mean? Doesn't this confirm the accusation of Marquis of Ji that Qihou colluded with Laiyi to plot against the Central Plains?

It took a lot of trouble for the spy to find out this second piece of information. It turned out that Xiong Qu of the Chu State had sent people to Yingqiu to look for the whereabouts of Wang Zixi. When he heard that he had gone to Laiyi,

I immediately went to Laidi to search. As for why? I vaguely heard that it was because during the Prince's southern expedition last year, Xiong Qu was trapped in the Eight Gate Golden Lock Formation at the foot of Tonglu Mountain and was almost captured. Fortunately, Wang Zixi's soldiers worked hard to rescue him.

, and thus survived. Now I heard that King Zhou wanted to capture Ji Xi, so I came here to rescue Yi Er.

When these two pieces of news came together, the King of Zhou Yi was furious. How could it be so? Lu Buchen colluded with the Chu State and Lai Yi, which would surely stir up the Zhou Dynasty and shake the country to the wind and rain. In addition, Ji Hou

With Ji Jiang's vigorous instigation, King Zhou Yi was furious and stripped Qi Hou Lu Buchen of his clothes, threw him into the cauldron and cooked him alive in the main hall in front of the princes from all directions.

Throwing a living person into a boiling cauldron? Ji Hu imagined that scene and felt a burst of cold air gradually rising from the soles of his feet to his waist. He felt as if his legs were frozen and he couldn't move.

Yang Si was also frightened and murmured: "After living for most of my life, this is the first time I have seen that scene. It's so scary!"

"What? Mammy saw it with her own eyes?" Ji Hu was very surprised. According to theory, the female family members of the harem are not allowed to go to the front hall.

"It's not Ji Jiang's good idea." Naoyang Si said angrily: "She persuaded the king to put the big cauldron that had cooked and killed the Marquis of Qi on a four-horse cart, and pulled it to show it in front of the palace gates. It was not a good idea.

I want all the concubines to come out and see it with their own eyes."

"Why is this?" Ji Hu couldn't figure out why Ji Jiang wanted to intimidate the palace ladies like this?

"She said to the king that this would allow the concubines in the palace to alert their father and brother, and they would be loyal to the king from then on. But in fact, who doesn't know that she did this just to establish her authority, and from then on she would say the same thing in the harem, so as to take advantage of the queen?

.”

Ji Hu understood now: "No wonder everyone in the palace is in danger, that's why."

Thinking of that terrifying and confused day, Nianyangsi still gritted her teeth: "That bitch, you know that there are so many pregnant women in the palace, but you still intimidate them like this. No, E Si was on the spot.

They were frightened and fainted, bleeding. When the doctor checked their pulse, they found that they had been pregnant for two months without knowing it, and had a miscarriage. Deng Man and Huang Ying had very big bellies. After seeing this scene, they all felt that they had given birth prematurely.

.Deng Man’s child died after birth, and she was a daughter. Fortunately, Huang Ying gave birth to a son, who was like a kitten. The queen sent several doctors to look at it, but she didn’t know if he could save it. They were okay.

The worst one is Ju Ying!"

"What's wrong with Empress Ju?" In Ji Hu's impression, Ju Ying was the least favored. What kind of trouble could come to her door?

Luoyangsi's expression was quite calm, but she had been following Fan Ji these days and had done a lot of things inside and outside. She could not conceal her exhaustion in her tone: "That night, Ji Jiang dragged the king to Qiuliao Palace. The palace was full.

Everyone knew that she loved to show off, and every time the king was with her, he would call his dowry concubines to watch the night. That night, Meng Jiang was on duty for the first half of the night, and Ju Ying was on duty for the second half of the night. It was originally fine, but in the middle of the night, I didn’t know

Why did the king wake up and rush out of the inner room with his sword in hand? It’s no wonder that Ju Ying rushed to greet her and asked for his favor, but she was stabbed to death by the king’s sword.”

"Ah——" Ji Hu was horrified. He didn't expect that so many great things would happen to him only a month after leaving the palace. For a moment, he felt like "a day in the mountains, a thousand years in the world."

Naoyang Si was also a little embarrassed. Although Ji Hu was her eldest child, he was still a boy. She didn't know whether it was appropriate to express these palace curtains in such a straightforward way. She hesitated for a while. She twisted her handkerchief and said embarrassedly.

He stammered and advised: "His Royal Highness, it's no wonder that the king was uneasy. How could anyone who saw the big cauldron that day not be afraid? People were still floating in it! Alas! If it weren't for Jihou's father

The woman is forcing you step by step, how can your Majesty do such a ruthless thing?"

"Aunt Si, did your father fall ill because of this?" Ji Hu asked.

Speaking of this, Luoyangsi's tone became more relaxed: "Actually, the king is not ill, but he always has nightmares and dare not sleep alone. Therefore, he cannot live without the queen every day. In the past few days, not only has he had nightmares every night,

The queen is summoned to the palace to accompany him, and the summons is made from time to time during the day. Alas! The queen still has such a big deal to take care of in the palace, and she has to accompany the king all the time. She really has no time to spare!"

Ji Hu walked out of the palace. The midday sun was a bit dazzling. He spread his fingers so that the sunlight could shine on his face through the gaps between his fingers, so that the chill in his heart could be dispelled. Qi Hou Lu Buchen died miserably, Ju

Ying died unjustly, and the two younger brothers and sisters whom he never met, they were all pitiful! But what was his fault? Why did the people of Haojing say, "The king is all for the prince------", so they just

All the reasons are attributed to him?

He felt a tightness in his chest, wishing he could shout a few times, but ------ no, he Ji Hu is the prince of Zhou Dynasty, he can't do this! He can only return to the East Palace in depression. If the young master

It would be nice to be here, at least there would be someone to talk to, he thought.

When Fan Ji walked into the inner chamber, he saw King Zhou Yi covering his head in a brocade quilt and refusing to show his head. The servant Jia in front of the bed was persuading him, with unmistakable anxiety and helplessness on his face. As soon as he saw Fan Ji,

He then said like a life-saving Bodhisattva: "Queen, Your Majesty, he------"

Fan Ji waved his hand, indicating that everything was understood. Jia, the chamberlain, understood and retreated with Ji Sang.

Ji Xie

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Only then did he stick his head out from under the brocade quilt. His handsome face could not hide the pale color. The beard on his chin was as long as weeds because it had not been taken care of for many days. His long hair was draped over his shoulders. The whole person was in this dark room.

It looks like a ghost.

"Ah Ji, you're here!" He grabbed Fan Ji's hand with great strength, like grasping a life-saving straw, and squeezed Fan Ji painfully.

Fan Ji calmly took out his palm and took a bone comb to comb his hair: "Your Majesty, could it be that you have another nightmare?"

"Yes, Gu dreamed of that big cauldron again! Lu Buchen was lying inside, his eyes widened, and the flesh on his body had turned red. Later---then somehow, that big cauldron

It also became transparent, and Lu Buchen's skin also became transparent, and you could see the internal organs inside. Then, his whole body melted, and his head floated on top------Ah," he suddenly

He turned around and grabbed Fan Ji's arm: "Ah Ji, do you think he will turn into a ghost and come to seek his life?"

"Your Majesty!" Fan Ji pushed him away gently and continued to comb his hair. Every time, like a gentle touch, Ji Xie gradually felt calmer. Fan Ji's gentle but firm voice rang in his ears: "No, it won't happen.

The concubine of the great minister has ordered them to be buried in the soil on the outskirts of the city. Besides, since ancient times, there has been no principle of 'using ministers to insult the king'. Even if Lu Buchen wants revenge, he will not come to you, the king!"

"Then--who will he go to?" Ji Xie asked in a trembling voice.

Fan Ji put away his bone comb and his voice became stern: "Your Majesty, you did not handle this matter properly. Even if the Marquis of Qi is guilty of all kinds of things, even if he has the intention of rebellious, you should not do it in front of the princes from all over the world.

Cook and kill them alive. Although you will make them fearful by doing this, it will inevitably leave you with a reputation of cruelty. Although you are a great king, you must be careful about the pen of the historian and the mouth of the people!"

Ji Xie wanted to open his mouth to defend himself, but he couldn't say anything. He had to let himself be scolded like a child who made a mistake. In the end, he just muttered a few words in a low voice: "Uncle, he is so sure of what he said, I can't help but believe it!"

Fan Ji sneered: "There are many conflicts between Ji and Qi. Don't believe everything he says! As long as the king has discussed it with my concubine beforehand, he will never go to this. According to my concubine's idea, he only needs to put the Marquis of Qi under house arrest in Haojing.

, and then the king issued an edict to appoint another Qi Jun to take charge of the coast of the East China Sea. In just a few years, Lu Buchen's power will definitely collapse, wouldn't it be better than the current situation?"

Thinking of Ju Ying who was unjustly killed by him while sleepwalking, and his two unborn children who were not destined to be together, Ji Xie felt heartbroken and guilty, and did not dare to argue any more. Fan Ji was even more furious: "Your Majesty, what happened?

At this point, there is no use regretting anymore. You must first cheer up and not hide in the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis all day long. You are the king of Zhou, you can't live your whole life without going to court and not handling state affairs, right? The Marquis of Qi is dead.

You have to deal with the aftermath of Qi State and appease the hearts of the harem and the people of the country!"

"Ah Ji," Ji Xie said timidly, "I know I can't hide in the inner hall for the rest of my life. But ------ I'm scared, this hall ------" He looked around nervously

Next: "It seems like the shadows of Lu Buchen and Ju Ying are floating everywhere in this hall. I feel so lonely and scared. I can't sleep well day and night."
