Hongdi

Chapter 211 Xi Wang Xien

This is a cylindrical building, like a towering pagoda, but without edges and corners, it just extends upwards in a circle. If you stand in the middle of this building, you will find that all of it You can have a panoramic view of every corner, as long as your eyes can see far enough.Here is the largest collection of books in Xi Kingdom - Tongtian Pavilion.

The clear moonlight at night sprinkled into this ridiculously tall building again, Bei Yaofei rubbed his stiff neck and let out a long breath.It's been three days and still nothing.When he thought of the person lying on the bed whose life and death were uncertain, his already exhausted heart ached as if he had fallen into a thorn bush, leaving him no time to care about his exhaustion.Calculating the time, He Shuang should come to deliver food to him. He put down the book in his hand and rushed to the agreed place.

In the past few days, He Shuang was in the know and he was in the dark, and the two of them inquired about various news about the soul carving, but this is a secret after all, and it is not easy to find a solution.It's not that he didn't want to go to Baimeng, or go back to the Beizu main altar to find clues, but Baimeng was surrounded by water, and the Beizu main altar was too far away, so he came here after thinking about it. He had to try his luck, but at this point, he couldn't wait any longer, maybe it was time for him to break into the National Teacher's Mansion.

Seeing Bei Yaofei coming out, He Shuang, who had been waiting in the secret place early, took out the food he had brought.Bei Yaofei discussed with her while eating, planning to go directly to Bai Meng.He Shuang frowned after hearing this. If she could only ask Bai Meng, it would be better to go to King Xi. After all, she has lived in this palace for 20 years and is already familiar with it. Just can't help anything.

Bei Yaofei hesitated for a while, and decided to give it a try.The two of them hid from the patrolling guards one after the other, and went to find King Xi.He said he was looking for it, but He Shuang knew it very well.Except for the two palaces where he worked in the court, this King Xi usually only stayed in one place, which was called "Beihu".Originally, this place was just a small pond. In the year when King Xi ascended the throne, he suddenly ordered to expand and rebuild it. The entire lake finally took up one-fifth of the palace, and it was quite vast.There is an island in the lake called "Suochun Island". In the center of the island is a small building made of stones. There is no complicated ornate decoration.

The two dared not walk on the wooden bridge blatantly, so they took advantage of the unpreparedness of the guards, got under the bridge, and boarded Suochun Island with the help of the crossed wooden stakes under the bridge.As soon as he set foot on the island, Bei Yaofei was stunned for a moment, the familiar fragrance of flowers and plants rushed to his face, and under the moonlight, there were dots of colorful flowers blooming in the emerald green. The island is not big, but it has unimaginable vitality.And these plants that are so prosperous that they are almost tenacious, he will never forget them in his life, because they are the grass and flowers of his hometown...

Seeing him staring blankly at the scene in front of him, He Shuang thought that he was amazed by the architecture of the palace, so he gently gave him a hand, "Since ancient times, there have been countless emperors who have made great achievements, and Sean is only self-willed this time. Although he He is mediocre, but he is not a fool, and he is still very concerned about state affairs on weekdays."

Bei Yaofei was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect He Shuang to speak up for him, "Master, you..."

"Ah?" He Shuang blinked, not understanding why Bei Yaofei looked at him strangely, "What's the matter?"

"Hehe, it's all right. I'm just a little curious, what kind of person is the king, even my wife will speak for him."

"Hey, Xi En, he is a poor man..." He Shuang shook his head, and said again: "Do you know why there are so many servants who look like me in this palace?" She didn't wait for Bei Yao. Fei went to guess, and then continued: "Because besides Old Xi Wang, your mistress and I have incurred a peach blossom debt here."

Bei Yaofei silently followed behind her, wanted to ask, but was afraid of being abrupt.

"Why don't you guess, who did I offend, your wife?" He Shuang said with a smile, and walked along the path familiarly.

"Could it be the king? But, my wife is the concubine of the old king, how could this happen?" Bei Yaofei muttered in a low voice.

"Hey, I guess you would say that." He Shuang chuckled, "Many people think so. They say that Xi En is incestuously in love with me, Concubine He. But in fact, all this is just him and Bai Meng is angry, the person he loves is said to have died because of a white dream."

Bei Yaofei was startled, and began to analyze He Shuang's words in his mind, but he couldn't figure it out after thinking for a long time.

Seeing him frowned and thinking hard, He Shuang couldn't help laughing, "Silly boy, don't think about it, I can't count the bad debts on my wife, just because of this good and a little too much face, I've lived most of my life. Ah, hey..., I really want to hurry back to Dahong, to the Caohe Hall.”

"Hehe, Master misses Master, right?" Bei Yaofei laughed lowly, but he couldn't help thinking of the person who was waiting for him to go back at Cangsong Villa. "Master, where is the king, let's hurry up."

He Shuang gave him a blank look, raised his eyes to look at the small building, and flew up, "He should be in the building, but it's not sure, I don't come here often, go in and have a look first." Pushed open a window and got in.Bei Yaofei frowned and followed into the small building, feeling strange that the defense here is so loose.

As soon as he entered the room, Bei Yaofei was taken aback. The room was not big, but it was full of decorations he was familiar with. If he hadn't known in advance that this was the palace of King Xi, he would have thought that he had returned to the home of the general altar of the Bei clan.The candles on the table flickered, filling the whole room with a warm glow.There was a rocking chair beside the table, shaking slightly, but there was no one there.He Shuang turned around, opened the door and walked to the next room.Bei Yaofei stretched out his hand to block it, and shook his head slightly.He Shuang was puzzled, but let him lead the way. He turned around in this small building, but finally came to a place that even she had never been to.

This place does not leave the small building, but with the small building as the roof, it accommodates a piece of lakeshore.The shore of the lake is full of silver-white epiphyllum, and the lake breeze disturbs the quietly blooming epiphyllum, but sends the intoxicating fragrance of flowers into the nostrils.

"You are finally here." Sitting on the bamboo couch among the flowers, King Xi was not surprised when he saw the two people who broke in suddenly, but greeted warmly, "Come and sit, I have been waiting for you for a long time gone."

"The king is waiting for Aijia?" He Shuang looked at him in surprise, but found that the place where his eyes stopped was not her, but Bei Yaofei who was beside him in the shadows.

Bei Yaofei also noticed his attention, and with a slight solemn expression, he quickly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted, "Craftsman Bei Yaofei has seen the king."

"Get up, let me take a good look." Xi En said, stretched out his hand to support Bei Yaofei, looked at it for a long time under the bright moonlight, and murmured: "Like, so much like..., Master Yu Qing really You didn't lie to me!"

Bei Yaofei's heart moved, could it be that Master Yuqing is the elder Bei Yuqing who is currently in power of the Bei clan?Before he had time to think about it, he felt a little uncomfortable when he was stared at by Theon's fiery eyes, "Your Majesty, the grass-roots people came here this time to find a way to undo the soul engraving, and I hope that the king can fulfill the grass-people's wish."

"For that Hong Yuxun?" Xi En was a little displeased, and a trace of resentment suddenly leaked from his cloudy eyes.

Bei Yaofei was puzzled, so he stealthily looked at him seriously.The golden dragon robe was loosely worn on him, as if hanging on a coat hanger, without the aura that an emperor should have at all, but his well-maintained face showed age and fatigue that didn't suit his age, However, people in their forties feel like old people in their fifties and sixties, which is inexplicably worrying.

He Shuang coughed lightly, and saluted: "Your Majesty, Ai's family is also here for this matter. Please also, Your Majesty..."

"Don't talk about it! Go down if you have nothing to do, I just want to have a good talk with him. I don't need you here!" The cold words stunned the two of them.

Xi En didn't care about He Shuang, instead he stretched out his hand to hold Bei Yaofei, and pushed him to sit on the bamboo couch.Bei Yaofei was shocked and got up in a hurry, Xi En shook his head, and the strength in his hands increased a little, "I want you to sit, so you sit, don't be polite to me."

Bei Yaofei was even more puzzled, and looked at him suspiciously, but saw the firmness in his eyes that made people irresistible, but at the same time made people feel a little dangerous. "Your Majesty, Caomin is only looking for a way to release the soul engraving. If you don't know, forgive Caomin for not staying for long."

Xi En suddenly turned cold and looked at him for a long time, then took a medicine bottle from the small table behind him, got a medicine, and handed it over, "Take this medicine, and I will tell you how to relieve the soul."

Without saying a word, Bei Yaofei reached out to take it and put it in his mouth. He Shuang was startled, his head turned and he couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat. He thought, didn't he send this child to the tiger's mouth!She didn't say anything, she stepped forward and grabbed Bei Yaofei, and said anxiously: "Xiao Fei, spit out the medicine quickly, let's think of other ways, let's go!"

Bei Yaofei was pulled sideways, but was dragged back by Xi En who had been eyeing him. "He Shuang, where else do you want to look for? Tongtian Pavilion? Or Baimeng's place?" Xi En glanced at her contemptuously, and then said: "Actually, Baimeng may be much easier to talk to than me. After all, she is so I like you. Back then, I found so many women who were similar to you, and let her see but not touch, hahaha, it's really interesting!"

He Shuangliu frowned, looked at Bei Yaofei with a blank face, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, the Ai family and the National Teacher have nothing worth your troubles. Everyone should have thought a long time ago that the quasi-national teacher who was killed by the national teacher back then was from the Bei tribe, and it was probably related to Xiaofei."

"Yeah, it's been 16 years, and I finally let me wait. Concubine He, I want to thank you very much. If you want to go back to Hongguo, I will let you go back, but he can't leave me again." Xi En said, looking at Bei Yaofei affectionately, but he didn't feel awkward at all.
