In the Imperial Study Room of the Xia Palace, on Xia Houqi's desk, there are piles of memorials like a hill.
Xia Houqi put down the memorial in his hand, and on the memorial, the words "Zizhuling" flashed across.
Xia Houqi already knew about the crisis in Zizhu Ridge more than a month ago.
Although the outside world has been rumored that Zizhu Ridge is a no-management zone, in Xia Houqi's mind, it is the territory of Daxia.
But not long after he took the throne, Beiqing's attitude towards Zizhuling tended to be conservative, and Daxia couldn't be too active.
"Holy Majesty, it's getting late, it's time to deliver the meal." The old eunuch beside him reminded.
Xia Houqi is undoubtedly a very hardworking new emperor. He has not established a concubine yet, and he is busy with affairs in the court all day long.
After the rebellion in the Hong Mansion, although Xia Houqi expelled the Hong Party, nearly half of the ministers in Daxia's court were empty. In order to make up for these vacancies, Xia Houqi had exhausted his mind.
It has been more than a month since the Zizhuling memorial was handed in. Xia Houqi has read it no less than ten times, and each time after reading it, his brows are deeply frowned.
Even a few days ago, the Holy Majesty had awarded Zizhu Ridge to Yuehou.
"Eunuch Ye, do you think I'm trying to harm her? I knew that Zizhu Ridge was a bone that couldn't be chewed, yet I forced it to her without her knowing." Xia Houqi sighed.
"Your Majesty, you are not embarrassing Yuehou, you just...can't bear her." Eunuch Ye was the late emperor's servant, and he watched Xia Houqi grow up since he was a child.
This sixth prince is not easily tempted, but if someone gets into his heart, I'm afraid he won't be able to get out of it for the rest of his life.
Zizhu Ridge is a dangerous land, but it is also a treasure land.
If Yuehou is unable to quell the rebellion, he must return to Xiadu and beg Xiahouqi for help.
But if she succeeded in suppressing the rebellion and gained a firm foothold in Zizhu Ridge, she would gain a natural barrier if she obtained Zizhu Ridge, which would also strangle the throats of Beiqing and Daxia, whether it was Beiqing or Daxia. The descendants cannot underestimate Yuehou and her descendants.
But in the heart of the new emperor, it is unknown which result he wants to see more. The king's heart is unpredictable, and Eunuch Ye dare not speculate on his own.
In the imperial study room, the sky darkened little by little, and the entire sky was as dark as splashed ink.
On the far side, in the northern part of the God Realm, there is a temple carved out of ice and snow. Outside the temple, the cold north wind that never stops whistling all year round.
There is also a man who sits on the Frozen Throne.
The God Venerable in the northern realm of the God Realm, Xi Jiuye.
The man's long gray hair was rolled up high like a waterfall, with a golden seal of God on his forehead, sword eyebrows and star eyes, noble temperament, even among the gods in the God Realm, he is one of the few existences.
At this time, before the throne, there was a famous envoy kneeling.
"You mean, on the plane of Nine Provinces, someone discovered the whereabouts of the Bahuang Shenzun and his wife?"
The Jiuzhou plane, that is a strange and distant plane, it does not exist in the memory of the Jiuye God.
"Yes, there is a main god under the seat of God. Before ascension, he was the head of a sect called Hunyuanzong in the Jiuzhou plane. When he returned to the sect to pass on the inheritance, he said that it was restricted by the plane. I found a mark left by a person from the God Realm." The envoy said respectfully.
"Let him order the people in the sect to track it down quickly."
There was no superfluous expression on Xi Jiuye's face, but his hands, which were covered under his sleeves, were tightly held together.
"But God, just yesterday, God God and his wife returned to the God Realm of Eight Desolation, and God still wants to continue to investigate?" The envoy asked anxiously.
"Send someone to check the places they have visited and everyone they have come into contact with on the Jiuzhou Continent. Not one person can be missed." Xi Jiuye said coldly.
"Obey." The envoy was about to leave.
"Wait a minute, if I find someone in Jiuzhou Continent, how long will it take?" With great difficulty, Xi Jiuye uttered a sentence.
"The god is looking for someone? The age and appearance of that person, do you have his portrait?" The envoy was a little surprised, the Jiuzhou continent is so big, the god wants to find someone
"Forget it, let's collect information first." Xi Jiuye waved his hand.
The envoy left, and Xi Jiuye did not speak for a long time in the empty ice and snow temple.
Age... Appearance... Portrait.
The envoy's words made Xi Jiuye suddenly realize that he and that person had lived through life and death for thirteen years, and he had never left a single portrait of her.
It turned out that more than five hundred years had passed in a flash. After a long time, he couldn't even remember the appearance of that person.
But why did he still go to find her... because he was afraid of what she said before her soul flew away, maybe, when she died, those resentful eyes were so terrifying.
Her words were eerie.
Xi Jiuye, if I, Ye Lingyue, have an afterlife, I will definitely demand your blood to pay for it.
Ye Lingyue, Ye Lingyue, don't you always keep your promises the most, you keep your promises.
You are a liar, a big liar, since you said you are coming for revenge, why have you not come back after five hundred years.
Xi Jiuye couldn't help laughing, but when the laugh came to his lips, he only felt bitter.
"Brother Jiuye, what are you thinking about?" A beautiful woman with a beautiful country and a city came over. The beauty's skin was as creamy and her body was as delicate as a willow. She was wearing a soft fox fur, leaning against Xi Jiuye's in the arms.
Seeing the beauty in his arms, Xi Jiuye's face became softer.
The sky in the north is freezing, and the woman is weak. For him, she would rather live here.
She is so kind and considerate, he Xi Jiuye should cherish her if he can marry her.
"It's already night, why don't you take a rest, the old problem has relapsed." After Xi Jiuye said, he channeled his divine power and sent a warm divine power into the woman's body.
"I'm alone, I can't sleep, can you sleep with me?" The woman put her arms around Xi Jiuye's waist, her body warmed up a little bit, but there was a thick haze in her eyes that couldn't be melted away.
Every year on this day, Xi Jiuye would sit alone in the temple in a daze.
He may not remember, but she remembers very clearly that today is the death day of "that person".
If he doesn't remember, why hasn't he appointed her as the Queen of God
If he didn't remember, why would he rather expend his divine power to treat her illnesses for five hundred years, but refused to give her those few magical pills that were refined from the flesh and blood of "that person".
Thinking of this, the woman hugged Xi Jiuye tightly.
"Chuchu, you are still the same naughty and clingy as you were when you were a child. Stop messing around, I still have some things on hand, you go to sleep tonight, and then order the guards to send her down."
The woman walked out of the temple and tore off the fox fur on her body angrily.
"Say, what did the god tell you to do just now?"
The envoy who had left earlier knelt down beside the woman, repeating what God Lord Jiuye had told him just now.
"It's definitely not a good thing for the couple of Bahuang Shenzun to appear in the Jiuzhou Continent. Listen, when you go to the Jiuzhou Continent, pay attention and find a woman named 'Ye Lingyue'. If you meet, shoot and kill!"
The woman's vicious look moved the envoy slightly, but he didn't dare to disobey him, so he backed away quickly after a snort.
