Chapter 241
"Imperial concubine, the king of Guoan asked the servants to tell the empress that everything is ready, and as long as the empress gives the order, she can act at any time."
Jian Xi nodded lazily, biting some fresh fruit, narrowing her eyes slightly.
The emperor hadn't been to court for half a year, and the expenses in the palace were getting bigger and bigger. He led some bearded ministers to spend money and money all day long.
Regardless of the prince's objection, he increased the taxation, and the people who were already living in poverty even complained. Some people in many remote areas have begun to rebel and raised their flags to revolt.
The whole country fell into unprecedented chaos. There were hungry people everywhere on the road. The ugliness of human nature was vividly displayed in this troubled world. Burning, killing, looting, and occupying mountains as kings were even more common things.
Not only that, for the sake of eternal life, the emperor ordered Rongqing to refine the elixir for him. After Rongqing refused, he was put under house arrest. After listening to a Taoist priest who became a monk halfway, he began to collect treasures from all over the country to refine the elixir.
Rouge handed over the handkerchief, and seeing Jian Xi wiping her hands slowly, she frowned and worried: "Mother, the world is getting more and more chaotic."
She looked around vigilantly, lowered her head, and said to Jian Xi in a low voice: "I heard that the Taoist priest found an alchemy map from somewhere, and just presented it to the emperor."
"The emperor was overjoyed after hearing this, and ordered people to arrest many children and bring them into the palace, as if he wanted to make alchemy with them."
"Your Majesty, this is too cruel! How about..."
Jian Xi threw down the handkerchief, leaned on the chaise longue, propped his head, with a lazy expression: "Really?"
Yan Zhi nodded heavily, the emperor was really fooled by that Taoist priest, even believed such nonsense, those children are still so young, they are all living lives!
Too cruel.
How desperate and sad their parents must have been.
"Your Majesty, why don't you persuade the emperor, the emperor will definitely listen to what you say." Yan Zhi hesitated for a moment, then knelt in front of Jian Xi, begging her.
It was really hard for her to imagine what it would be like for those children to be thrown into the alchemy furnace and be refined alive. This is simply inhumane.
Jian Xi shaved her nails, heard the words and chuckled lightly, with a carefree expression: "Why do you think the emperor will listen to what I say?"
Yan Zhi choked, two days ago, the empress just persuaded the emperor to stay away from that Taoist priest, not to be too obsessed with refining elixir, and the emperor became very angry.
Since Empress entered the palace for a year, the emperor has always loved Empress in every possible way, when did she get so angry?
That was the first time she saw the emperor's disrespect towards the empress.
She has been with Jian Xi for a year, and she still knows her well, and knows her temper.
That day really scared her. After the emperor turned black, Jian Xi directly slapped the emperor and kicked the emperor out.
In this whole world, who would dare to treat the emperor like this, the moment Jian Xi hit the emperor, Yan Zhi felt bad all over, she even expected how her head would fall off.
But after Jian Xi kicked the emperor out, the emperor not only did not convict him, but even took the initiative to come to Jian Xi's palace to seek peace the next day, trying to please her in a low voice.
Jian Xi not only ignored the emperor, but also asked her to drive her out. Yan Zhi was just a little maid, how could she really chase the emperor, so she could only bite the bullet and invite the emperor out tremblingly.
After that, the emperor came several times one after another, but she never saw Jian Xi. Rouge had seen the emperor standing alone in the wind and looking at the brightly lit place in the palace several times.
Even her servant couldn't help but soften her heart, Jian Xi was still very impatient, she didn't even want to see him, and fought the cold war to the end.
From then on, Rouge looked at Jian Xi with a layer of admiration.
Rouge was silent for a moment, did not speak, knelt on the ground and buttoned the hem of her clothes.Inexplicably, she felt that if Jian Xi really wanted to persuade the emperor, she would definitely be able to.
But the emperor was so obsessed and persistent in alchemy that she couldn't figure it out.
"How do you spread the word about me outside the palace?" Jian Xi asked lazily, teasing Huo Huo who was rolling around.
"They all say that the empress is a witch..." Rouge carefully observed Jian Xi's expression, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "It is said that the empress deceived the emperor's mind with a pair of skins, and brought disaster to this country."
"There are even people..." Yan Zhi swallowed, lowered her head, not daring to look at Jian Xi's face: "Someone revolted in the name of eliminating demons."
Jian Xi chuckled, scratched Huohuo's chin, and leaned on the soft couch.
What they said also made sense, she was originally a witch.
Still a real monster.
Huo Huo turned his belly, let out a comfortable purring sound, squinted his eyes, and rubbed Jian Xi's hand.
Jian Xi flicked its forehead lightly and casually thinking about the news that Murong Jun sent some time ago.
It's time to close the net.
This dog emperor is really hopelessly stupid, Jian Xi really doesn't have the patience to act with him anymore.
She was afraid that one day she couldn't bear it and killed him with her own hands.
During this period of time, she intentionally followed Dong Guanlin's thoughts, introduced him to the emperor, and said a few good words for him.
After he gained the sweetness of power, he became more courteous to the emperor, and he has become the emperor's lackey. Basically, he does what the emperor says.
Those children, but he personally captured into the palace.
Doesn't he like climbing up the most?Do you like to stand on a high place and overlook the struggling ants?
Then Jian Xi did what he wished, promoted him to a high position, let his family dominate, and became inseparable from the emperor.
In this way, if this country is shattered, he will not be able to get rid of it at all.
What's the point of just killing him?
Jian Xi wants him to fall from a high place, break his legs, break his dreams, and become the most despised pariah. Everyone can spit on him, everyone can insult and beat him, and ride on On his head, he could not lift his head up for the rest of his life.
Even if he dies, he will be written into the history books and scolded by future generations.
After all, the higher you stand, the harder you fall.
Jian Xi squeezed Huohuo's paw, sat up holding Huohuo, and chuckled lightly: "Go and add more fire."
"What?" Rouge raised her head in bewilderment, and looked at Jian Xi in disbelief. Did she hear correctly?
Not only is her mother not angry, but she wants someone to add fuel to the fire? ?
The empress wouldn't have quarreled with the emperor and got mad, right?
Jian Xi stood up, rubbed Huo Huo's head, and walked slowly outside the palace: "I don't like to say it a second time."
Yan Zhi quickly stood up and followed behind Jian Xi, frowning tightly, opened her mouth, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, worried.
Jian Xi lowered his eyes, looked at Huo Huo's gradually obese body, pinched the small flesh on its stomach, and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth.
This fire needs to be a little bigger.
