In the solemn and solemn hall, Qiao Wei and Ji Mingxiu met the rumored King Yeluo.
King Yeluo was wearing a red dragon robe with gold trim. The body of the robe was dotted with rows of golden hollowed out flowers. There was a row of fist-sized round buttons on the chest, and hollowed out runes were carved in the buttons.
He was wearing a crown, and under the crown, his dark brown hair was naturally curly, with a small curvature. Coupled with his wheat-colored skin, the whole person inadvertently exuded a wild and powerful beauty.
He has a little beard, but he doesn't look sloppy, but instead has a hint of charm that has accumulated over the years.
I have to say, this is a very attractive man with supreme power, all the women in Yeluo are probably crazy about him.
When Qiao Wei looked at King Ye Luo generously, King Ye Luo also looked at the two of them without hesitation. When King Ye Luo's eyes fell on Qiao Wei's face, for some reason, a trace of surprise flashed across her face. Unexpectedly, he quickly looked away and looked at Ji Mingxiu who was beside him.
Ji Mingxiu put on Daliang's heavy purple official gown, the aggressive color made his aura a little more fierce for no reason, his slender figure, elegant and elegant temperament, and a pair of The slender and jade-like hands made this man look like he came from the sanctuary, sacred and inviolable.
King Yeluo's gaze stayed on Ji Mingxiu's mask.
Ji Mingxiu was calm and unhurried, but Qiao Wei understood that the man on the throne was the man who once ordered to kill Princess Zhaoming, and Mingxiu's heart would never be as calm as he expressed.
After a while, King Yeluo opened his mouth slowly.
A civil servant came out from below, and translated: "Please take off the mask, Prime Minister Ji."
Qiao Wei met so many big bosses, and no one asked Mingxiu to take off the mask as soon as they came.
Ji Mingxiu took off his mask calmly, revealing a pair of impeccably perfect faces.
When seeing this face, there was a gasp in the hall.
No wonder everyone was so surprised, it was because this face was so similar to Queen Yeluo's, I didn't know it, I thought it was the queen's own son.
But the ministers didn't understand, King Yeluo still knew that the child was Zhaoming's flesh and blood, not Queen Yeluo's.
King Yeluo stared blankly at Ji Mingxiu, a trace of complexity flashed across his deep eyes.
Qiao Wei saw his big palm tightly grasping the armrest of the throne, and she stood up slightly.
no? Seeing the son of my sweetheart is all, why be so excited
King Yeluo was not the only one who was excited. Lord Mu, who was afraid of being punished by King Yeluo for doing "bad things", stood quietly at the bottom, trying to reduce his sense of existence, but after seeing this face, he His face suddenly changed!
The hall began to whisper, except for a few insiders, who knows why Ji Mingxiu looks so similar to the queen
After that, there was a series of tedious and lengthy official meeting procedures. Ji Mingxiu handled it with ease, but Qiao Wei was so bored that she almost fell asleep.
To be honest, this meeting was much smoother than Qiao Wei had imagined. I thought King Yeluo would embarrass them anyway. After all, they came uninvited, and they didn’t have such a trump card as "Princess Zhaoming". It is possible to accept them like the emperor of Daliang accepted Yeluo's envoys.
After the process in the main hall was completed, King Yeluo couldn't wait to call Ji Mingxiu into the study. The reason was naturally to discuss the political affairs of the two countries, and Qiao Wei was a female family member, so it was reasonable for the queen to receive him. The queen was alone and asked a maid to accompany her to enjoy the lake.
Is the lake in Yeluo worth a reward? The south of the Yangtze River in Daliang and the seascape of Yinzu are truly fairyland on earth.
Qiao Wei was so bored shopping, she found a booth and sat down.
The lady-in-waiting was able to speak Chinese, and said wittily, "Madam, please rest for a while, I'll go get some refreshments."
Qiao Wei hummed lightly.
The maid walked away with small steps, and after a while, the sound of footsteps came back.
Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows, so fast
A hand put on Qiao Wei's shoulder, and patted lightly: "Xiao Wei!"
This devilish voice!
Qiao Wei was so frightened that her small body trembled, and she jumped away!
Queen Yeluo looked at Qiao Wei with a smile: "I heard that you and Mingxiu have entered the palace, why don't you come to me?"
Dare I find you? You almost shot me dead!
Qiao Wei took two or three steps back as if she had seen a ghost. Obviously, being rescued by kindness last night did not erase the shadow left by the other party in her heart. Whenever she saw her, she would think of that ridicule The corner of her lips, the bow that almost killed her.
Queen Yeluo opened her innocent eyes wide, and asked puzzledly, "What's the matter with you, Xiaowei? Did I scare you? Okay, okay, I won't scare you again!"
After all, she walked towards Qiao Wei and grabbed Qiao Wei's wrist.
Qiao Wei looked vigilantly at the jade hand clasping her wrist, the hairs all over her body stood on end, and struggled for a while between slapping her unconscious with a palm and kicking her away—
"Hush—someone is coming!" Queen Yeluo made a silent gesture, and pulled Qiao Wei to hide in the flowers behind the gazebo.
Qiao Wei really wanted to beat herself to death, with such a great force, how can she be pulled away by her
The maid who served Qiao Wei earlier came over with a plate of delicate and delicious snacks. She looked around, but she didn't see Qiao Wei. She was at a loss for a moment: "Huh? Where's Madam? Madam! Where have you been?"
Queen Yeluo covered Qiao Wei's mouth with a smirk.
Qiao Wei looked at her smile, and felt hairy in her heart, Mingxiu was right, this woman is really too dangerous, who knows what kind of medicine she sells in the gourd, she better not get entangled with her!
"Ma'am! Ma'am—"
The maid went to Qiao Wei with a snack.
After confirming that the person was gone, Queen Yeluo pulled Qiao Wei to stand up and clapped her little hands triumphantly.
As soon as she turned her head, Qiao Wei didn't know when she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and walked out step by step.
"Xiaowei! Where are you going?"
Queen Yeluo called Qiao Wei to stop.
Qiao Wei frantically stopped, turned around, and said with a half-smile, "I... I'm walking around."
Queen Yeluo snorted, "What is there to do in the palace? I've lived here for so many years, and I'm tired of walking! I'll take you to a good place!"
You're tired of walking, I don't have one, please let me go, please? !
Queen Yeluo grabbed Qiao Wei's hand, and her soft palm wrapped her cold hand with a thin layer of clothing.
Facing such a hand, Qiao Wei couldn't refuse.
So, the cold and tough Gang Leader Qiao was dragged all the way under the palace wall by Queen Ye Luo.
"What do you want to do?"
After getting used to her inexplicable reaction, Qiao Wei actually forced herself to calm down.
It's nothing more than some kind of gimmick, I'll tell you what to do!
She entered the palace openly, she didn't believe that the other party really had the guts to do something to her!
Queen Yeluo said furtively: "Over the wall, I know a very interesting place, I will take you there."
conspiracy!
Proper conspiracy!
Qiao Wei rubbed her chin, squinted her eyes, and looked at her vigilantly. In the palace, she must not dare to do anything to her, but once she leaves the palace, wouldn't she be self-sufficient
Or... Encourage her to climb over the wall first, and take advantage of her opportunity to run away by herself—
Good idea, just do it!
Qiao Wei, who made up her mind to escape, suddenly heard a small voice from outside the wall: "Xiaowei, I've turned over! Hurry up too!"
Qiao Wei: "..."
It was too easy to run away at this time, but Qiao Wei suddenly didn't want to run away again, she wanted to see what kind of tricks she was playing.
Qiao Wei climbed up the tree and climbed over the palace wall.
The moment she climbed over the wall, Qiao Wei's mind suddenly popped up: This guy always sneaked into the palace when he was in Daliang. Could it be a bad habit that he found out in Yeluo
After leaving the palace, Queen Yeluo was like a fish in water. She took off the queen's coat, stuffed it in a bush, and pulled out a light blue burqa from the grass, and pulled out another burqa of the same color from the wide sleeve.
Queen Yeluo put on the burqa by herself first, and then put it on for Qiao Wei: "I didn't know you were coming, I didn't prepare it in advance, and there was only one outside that I usually use. I just stole it from the maid's room." Yes, I have to put it back later, so don’t wear it out.”
"Do you still come out often?" Qiao Wei was wearing a burqa for the first time, which was quite fresh, and she casually asked what was in her heart.
Queen Yeluo nodded: "Yes, the palace is so stuffy, if I don't come out, I will suffocate to death!"
Qiao Wei thought to herself, you make it up, make it up hard, the camp is built, why are you talking about suffocating? Almost too busy!
Seeing Qiao Wei's pensive look, Queen Yeluo patted her on the shoulder and said softly, "Let me tell you, they will talk for at least an hour. We won't play for too long, just come back on time, and we won't be discovered." of!"
Seems to be very experienced!
Qiao Wei finally went with her.
Queen Yeluo deserved to be a master at escaping from the palace, so she rented a small stable near the palace with a servant and an ordinary-looking carriage.
The two sat in a carriage driven by a servant and wandered to a street.
Qiao Wei has no impression of this street.
At first, the street was quite bustling, but as the carriage turned a few turns, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians, and the shops became more and more withered.
Qiao Wei became vigilant.
In front of a dilapidated stone house, the house didn't even have a proper door, just a greasy black cloth hanging helplessly on the porch.
Queen Yeluo happily jumped out of the carriage and waved to Qiao Wei: "Come down, Xiao Wei!"
Qiao Wei hesitated, focused and calmed down, listening to the movement inside.
Good guy!
Forty strong men!
This is trying to trick her into killing her!
I'm afraid it's too late to escape now, why not—
Qiao Wei squinted her eyes, shook her arm, and Fen Tian fell into her hand. She clenched the dagger tightly, jumped down to the ground with a calm expression, and walked behind Queen Ye Luo.
Qiao Wei's dagger came out of her body, and Queen Yeluo lifted the curtain. Almost at the same moment, Qiao Wei's dagger snapped back.
what did she see A... Casino? !
Queen Yeluo grabbed Qiao Wei's hand, and Qiao Wei's dagger fell to the ground with a clang before it could be stuffed back into the purse sewn into the wide sleeve.
The strong man inside the door gave Qiao Wei a fierce look.
"Your dagger fell!" Queen Yeluo bowed to help Qiao Wei pick it up, and returned it to Qiao Wei without any suspicion, "Here, take it."
Qiao Wei took the dagger in disbelief, her whole body was in a mess.
Qiao Wei couldn't remember how she was dragged into the casino. Anyway, when she came back to her senses, she had already won a large handful of gold coins on the gambling table in front of her.
Yeluo's currency is the same as that of the Yin people. They don't use ingots, but round coins. The round coins are divided into copper, silver and gold. One gold coin is equal to ten silver coins, one silver coin is equal to one hundred copper coins, and the price of a bun is two copper coins.
They won a total of 130 gold coins, which sounds like a lot, but the prices in Yeliang City are astonishing, and this little gold coin can only be used as a tooth-beating sacrifice for someone.
Queen Yeluo was so lucky that she bet big and opened big, and bet small and opened small. Since entering the casino, she has never missed a single bet, and the dealer's nose is crooked!
"Xiaowei, Xiaowei, you play too! What are you betting on?" Queen Yeluo patted Qiao Wei on the shoulder.
It was this shot that brought back the previous consciousness. Qiao Wei looked around. There were still many women in the casino, but they were all wearing burqas like them. The face of the dealer was not very good-looking. They have won too much.
But don't you come to win when you enter the casino
Qiao Wei straightened her back and slapped the table: "I bet big!"
Queen Yeluo bet all the gold coins on "big".
When everyone saw her betting big, they all bet big too.
The dealer opened the dice cup: "Shuo (small)—"
Qiao Wei's face instantly turned black into charcoal...
"It's okay, let's go play something else!" Queen Yeluo is not short of money, if she loses, she loses. The most important thing is that she has never lost before, and finally lost once with Qiao Wei's help. It is really not easy!
Queen Yeluo led Qiao Wei through the aisle and into another room.
This room is much more crowded than the one just now. In the casino, everyone has their own table for playing. Every table in the casino with good business is packed to the brim. At a glance, it is full of people. Here It was no exception, but what was a little different was that the people here were not surrounded by tables, but cages one after another.
The cages are tall or short, with or without a roof, and contain all kinds of animals and birds.
Queen Yeluo took Qiao Wei to a small cockfighting arena. A new round was about to start. She bet on a skinny little black chicken. Qiao Wei didn't have much interest in this kind of thing, but she just lost With so many gold coins, I was a little unwilling, and carefully selected a big yellow chicken that was full of energy.
A fight started. The big yellow chicken was far ahead and pecked the opponent up and down. The little black chicken was pecked and jumped up and down by the opponent. The big yellow chicken won without a doubt, and the little black chicken seemed to be gone. Fortunately, it also won out.
Afterwards, the big yellow chicken met the little black chicken that was trembling from being pecked.
But the little black chicken won...
Qiao Wei couldn't believe what she saw!
Just such a weak chicken, how did she beat her General Huang? !
No one else bet on the little black chicken, and Queen Yeluo won the whole game by herself, her pockets bulging.
Queen Yeluo is also very helpless, why is it so difficult to lose once
After that, Queen Yeluo took Qiao Wei to bet on crickets, snakes, and eagles. Queen Yeluo picked all half-dead, but in the end she won every time.
Fortunately, she has a pig teammate who exported all the money she won, otherwise, with her luck, the casino people probably wouldn't let the two of them leave alive.
Qiao Wei loses so badly!
Is it fun to bet on luck? Are you capable of pushing Pai Gow? !
Queen Yeluo glanced at the hourglass on the wall: "Oh, it's time, let's go back!"
It's really not reconciled to go back after losing like this. Fortunately, Qiao Wei knows how to clean up her emotions, took a few deep breaths, and after suppressing the mania in her heart, she took the initiative to hold Queen Yeluo's hand.
The moment she pulled it on, she realized that something was wrong, and she wanted to throw it away, but suddenly, a crowd of people in the corner burst into thunderous cheers: "Chulajiji—"
This room is big, and they didn't play every item once. When they were playing earlier, Qiao Wei kept hearing the phrase "Qiu La Ji Ji". She already knew that Ji Ji meant winning. This Qiu La must be It is the name of a certain bird or beast. She has heard it no less than ten times, which means that the other party has played no less than ten games. Among the events she played just now, no animal can survive three games. They will be removed to avoid drying up and fishing.
What the hell is that Chura that is so—
She didn't know whether to say that it could play, or whether the casino was determined to keep it playing.
Qiao Wei muttered to herself, and couldn't help turning her head to look curiously.
The animal pet named Qiula should have finished all the matches of the day, was locked in a small cage, and walked towards the back hall with it.
Qiao Wei only saw a section of white tail, and in an instant, a strong sense of familiarity came to her heart——
She let go of Queen Yeluo's hand, and quickly ran towards the back hall.
There were a few sweeping servants standing in the back hall, Qiao Wei caught one of them, gestured for a while and said, "Qiu La! Have you... seen Qiu La?"
Qiula was very well-known in the casino, and the servant used a Yeluo language and pointed to the back door, which roughly meant that Qiula was not from the casino and had been taken away by its owner.
Qiao Wei rushed out the door, but on the endlessly flowing street, where is Dabai's shadow
On the way back, Qiao Wei didn't tell Queen Yeluo about Dabai. She was the one who threw Dabai into the moat. If she found out about Dabai's whereabouts, who knows how she would deal with Dabai
Queen Yeluo counted the few lonely little gold coins in her purse, her pretty eyebrows slightly raised: "I've never lost so much money, Xiaowei, it's great to come out with you!"
Qiao Wei: Can you stop stabbing me in the heart
Qiao Wei remembered Dabai's whereabouts, but she didn't really care about the other party's little excitement. She even went out with him at the risk of being intercepted and put under house arrest, but she returned to the palace intact. Such an abnormal thing She didn't even bother to think about it.
She is full of understanding.
Qiao Wei and Queen Yeluo returned to the palace smoothly.
The maid who served Qiao Wei earlier lost Qiao Wei, she was so frightened that she cried, and ran to plead guilty to Queen Ye Luo, who graciously pardoned her.
King Yeluo tried his best to persuade the two to stay in the palace, but Ji Mingxiu politely refused.
Qiao Wei: It's right to decline, King Ye Luo has no good intentions at first sight! Maybe they want to kill us in the middle of the night!
The two walked out of the palace and walked towards the direction where the carriage was parked, but when they got to the road, they found that the original carriage was gone.
A gorgeous car drove over slowly.
Prince Mu lifted the curtain of the car, looked at the two of them very amiably and said: "The carriage is broken down, let's go home in my king's carriage."
Qiao Wei looked at Prince Mu strangely, why did this person suddenly treat them so attentively
It was just a carriage, and the two of them didn't take it too seriously, after all, with Mu Qiuyang in hand, they were not afraid that the prince would harm them.
…
When we returned to Fangcui Garden, it was still early, and the two children were running around on the corridor.
Ji Mingxiu was not in a hurry to find Qiao Wei to settle the account of fleeing with the queen. Of course, Qiao Wei would not wait for him to settle the matter. She went out, she controlled me, I can't control my hands and feet!"
The corners of Ji Mingxiu's lips curled up, and he looked at her lovingly and tenderly: "Not following her orders, huh?"
At the end, the sound of "um" was raised slightly, which made Qiao Wei's heart flutter.
Qiao Wei collected herself and said calmly, "I didn't go in vain, I already found Dabai's whereabouts!"
Ji Mingxiu snorted coldly, and caressed Qiao Wei's tender lips vaguely with his slightly callused thumb: "Remember it first, and I will settle with you later."
Generally speaking, turning around to settle accounts means that there are more important matters at the moment, Qiao Wei's beautiful eyes turned brightly: "How is your talk with King Yeluo?"
"not so good."
"What's wrong with that?"
"It's just not good."
Qiao Wei poured him a cup of tea: "Don't be foolish, what did you guys say? Did you mention Princess Zhaoming and the queen to him?"
Ji Mingxiu picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly: "No."
"Why didn't you mention it?" Qiao Wei also poured herself a glass.
"I didn't make it in time." Ji Mingxiu rubbed his heart, looking frightened, "I was so shocked by him."
Has this old fox ever been struck by lightning? Qiao Wei raised her eyebrows: "What did he do?"
"He said I was his son."
Qiao Wei spouted out a mouthful of tea!
It's no wonder that Qiao Wei lost her composure. It's because the news is so explosive. It will definitely be ranked in the TOP3 of the most explosive news in her two lifetimes.
"You...you...you...are you really the son of King Yeluo?" Qiao Wei asked dumbfounded.
Ji Mingxiu calmly removed the folding fan that blocked his tea face, and said calmly, "Of course not."
After thinking about it, Qiao Wei didn't think so, but if not, why would King Yeluo recognize his son indiscriminately
King Ye Luo didn't seem to be pretending. She felt that King Ye Luo's reaction was abnormal in the hall this morning. Seeing the son of his sweetheart made it feel like seeing his own son. Now that Mingxiu said so, there are eight out of ten Ninth, King Yeluo really regarded Mingxiu as his son.
But that's weird, isn't it? Why does King Yeluo think that Princess Zhaoming gave birth to a son for him
Qiao Wei blinked: "Could it be that he and your mother..."
Ji Mingxiu patted her on the head: "Don't think about it, it's nothing."
