Yunwu Xingyue knew that the situation was serious, lowered his head and said in unison: "It's my subordinate's fault, please punish me, master."
"Go down and get thirty pieces each. If my instructions don't work for you, you don't have to stay with me." Hong Jiu knew that they were loyal to him, but they didn't understand his heart. In his heart, Feng Xi'er is as important as revenge.
Both are on the same scale.
Yunwu Xingyue held up his hands and said firmly in unison: "Yes, my subordinate made a mistake. I will never do it again next time. I will protect the eldest lady to the death."
The master is their savior. Without the master, there would be no them. After so many years of life and death, they will never abandon their master.
Although Hongjiu is cold, he treats his subordinates very well and gives them a good life. He does not treat them as ordinary people and treats them as family members.
Hong Jiu nodded and dismissed them with a wave of his hand.
Honggu was smarter than Yunwu Xingyue and knew Hongjiu's temperament well, so she reported the news in time. The master's sensitivity would have noticed it even if he didn't say it. By then, Yunwu Xingyue and the others would not only be as big as thirty boards. A light punishment.
Hong Gu was much older than Hong Jiu. She used her status as an elder and said, "Master, in fact, they are only doing their best for my good."
Hong Jiu glanced at Hong Gu coldly and said, "Feng Xi'er is my Hong Jiu's woman. I can't even protect my women, so what's the use of having them?"
If it weren't for the inconvenience of his identity, why would Hongjiu let them protect his woman? Although Hong Jiu cannot be upright with Feng Xi'er, he must protect her.
Hong Gu was shocked. My love for the eldest lady has reached this point, and being able to say such words is enough to show my firmness towards Feng Xi'er.
"What plans do you have for the eldest lady? In one month, the eldest lady will be given to Long Qi." Hong Gu also likes Feng Xi'er from the bottom of her heart. Such a unique woman is worthy of their master.
"A lot of things will happen in one month. Let's talk about the future." Hong Jiu rubbed his temples tiredly and didn't want to say more. Love is his own business and he has his own discretion.
Hong Gu shut up knowingly, and Hong Jiu asked: "How are the preparations for the Oiran Convention?"
"Everything is ready," Hong Gu replied respectfully.
Hong Jiu nodded, and Hong Gu retreated.
Royal Palace, Yonghua Hall.
Emperor Lintian ordered several imperial doctors to check the condition of Queen Wen's face. They all shook their heads and sighed, saying that there was nothing they could do. Emperor Lintian was furious and issued a notice saying that whoever could cure Empress Wen's face would be rewarded with a reward of ten thousand taels.
Emperor Lintian comforted the queen, and after the queen fell asleep, he took his sons to the Mirror Palace.
After the emperor left, the queen suddenly opened her eyes, walked to the bronze mirror, waved her sleeves and swept the table, and everything on the table fell to the ground with a clang and a crisp sound. The palace people turned pale with fright and quickly comforted them: "Queen, please calm down..."
Empress Wen grabbed the rouge and gouache on the table and threw it at the palace servants who were talking, and cursed angrily: "It's not you cheap maids who disfigured your face. Of course you said it nicely."
The palace people quickly shut up and lowered their eyebrows.
Wen Wen entered the Yonghua Hall and saw Queen Wen getting angry and throwing things. He rushed over to hold Queen Wen down and consoled her: "Sister, you need to calm down at this time."
Wen Mei couldn't get rid of her anger and continued to roar, "Brother, you don't know that my life is really worse than death now... Hehe, I don't look like a human or a ghost now. How can I go out to meet people in the future?"
Wen Wen looked at Queen Wen's face that was so ruined that it looked as ugly as a ghost. He was startled when he saw it up close, "Sister, who is it? Who is so cruel?"
Queen Wen's eyes shone brightly and she said with certainty: "It must be the Ghost King, it must be him. I sent people to assassinate Long Jiu twice, but Long Jiu counterattacked and cut off the leader's head and sent it to me. I've been having nightmares these days. I dream about the leader's bloody head at midnight. Brother, I'm so scared."
Wen Zhang narrowed his eyes. To be able to frighten a woman as powerful as his sister to this extent, Long Jiu must have become very powerful to dare to oppose the Queen so blatantly and straightforwardly.
"Brother, Long Jiu is much more powerful than we thought. It is said that the spies sent by the emperor and Long Liu were all secretly killed. In addition, the killers that I secretly invited back from the Western Regions were all killed one by one. Over the years, , Long Jiu doesn’t know how much strength he has cultivated in secret. Brother, it seems that we have been negligent. What should we do now? There must be Long Jiu’s spies around us. The person who poisoned me this time is so cunning. My rouge and gouache were poisoned. After examination, the imperial doctor said that the murderer used a fatal disfiguring acid from the Western Regions. If the murderer had used more poison, my entire face might have rotted away..."
Queen Wen felt terrible for the first time and did not dare to say anything further.
"Who does my sister think the murderer hiding around her is?" Wen Zhang asked doubtfully.
Queen Wen thought for a moment, "Except for a few old ladies, no one can enter my palace. I am surrounded by people arranged by my brother. I can't think of anyone who would harm me."
Wen Zhang listened carefully and thought about it carefully before replying: "It is not necessarily the case that he entered the Yonghua Palace openly and openly. The murderer may have high martial arts skills or sneak into the palace secretly. In short, from now on, we must be careful. Just in case, none of us can Don’t believe it, pay more attention to the people around you.”
The article suddenly remembered a person and asked: "Sister, what do you think of Admiral Dongfang?"
"Admiral Dongfang? That cold-faced guard?" Queen Wen's tone was a little strange.
"Sister, don't you think Admiral Dongfang is mysterious?" Wen Zhang thought about it and felt that there was a high possibility that Admiral Dongfang was worthy of suspicion.
Empress Wen's eyes twinkled a little. Admiral Dongfang was considered the most handsome man in the palace, and he was highly valued by the emperor. He became the leader of the Imperial Guard at a young age. He had a cold personality and did not like to be with others. Empress Wen There have long been plans to incorporate Admiral Dongfang into the Wen family army. In the public, Empress Wen admires Admiral Dongfang. In private, Queen Wen secretly likes Admiral Dongfang from the moment she sees him. Empress Wen has no feelings for Emperor Lintian. Moreover, Queen Wen knew that the only women Lintian loved most were Concubine Mei and Concubine Yun. Admiral Dongfang was younger and more handsome than Emperor Lin, and had a man's cold style, which satisfied Wen Meixin's fantasies about men.
No matter how vicious and powerful Queen Wen is, she is still a woman, and she will always have people she likes, and there will always be times when her heart is moved.
Moreover, Queen Wen had many opportunities to be alone with her, and also gave Admiral Dongfang a hint. Although Admiral Dongfang declined her politely, Admiral Dongfang would never harm her. Queen Wen firmly did not believe it.
"Brother, that man from Dongfang is originally a cold-faced black god who lives alone. Moreover, he is the emperor's man, so there is no need to take action against me..."
The article interrupted Queen Wen's words: "It's often impossible, but it's always the most likely. Sister, don't take it lightly. A glance makes you wise. Now that you have become like this, I'm afraid... the emperor will favor you in the future... Oh, don't let me catch the murderer, I have to kill his whole family."
