Under the leadership of Yu Heng, a few important ministers of Ying Du waited outside the palace of King Wu. The shadows in the room flickered. Any man knew what was going on inside. Yu Heng had mixed feelings. After the King of Chu had been rejected, the threat of King Wu still appeared in his mind. His despicable face was so ugly. How could a beauty like Xi Shi endure the torture of the devil?
A few important ministers requested an audience. No matter how unhappy the King of Wu was, he had to appear and summon them, but his expression was naturally gloomy.
"Dear ministers, why have you come to disturb this king in the middle of the night?”Wu Wang was very impatient. His mind was filled with Xi Shi's graceful figure in the room. He wanted nothing more than to send these annoying fellows away immediately.
"Your Majesty, I observed the celestial phenomena tonight. The stars have fallen. Something bad is going to happen.”Yu Heng advised, exaggerating to the serious side.
The few ministers beside him also agreed. They looked up at the night sky uneasily. The meteor shower was also powerful and became more and more spectacular.
King Wu knew the weight of Yu Heng's words and naturally did not dare to be negligent. He hurriedly asked,"Yu Qing, if this king did it, how can I remedy it? Will it hurt the fate of Wu Country?"
Yu Heng pretended to count on his fingers. After a while, he sighed deeply and said,"Great King, this is bad. I've calculated the warning from the heavens to Great Wu. There's even the danger of the country being destroyed.”
"What is it? What exactly is going on? Hurry up and tell me how to remedy it. I've done everything. I hope the heavens will be lenient.”The King of Wu was indeed a little uneasy. Now that the various countries were dissatisfied with Chu, the Qin country had sent all its troops to attack. The pressure had increased sharply. If he did not follow the will of heaven, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Yu Heng could obviously see the worry in Wu Wang's heart. During the Spring and Autumn Period, due to the development of the Ministry of Science and Technology, many natural phenomena could not be explained clearly. They could only be defined by human senses and legends. Therefore, they developed a fear of unknown phenomena and thought that it was the dissatisfaction of the heavens. Meteor shower was one of the misunderstandings.
"Your Majesty, this, this is very difficult.”Yu Heng pretended to be in a difficult position and shook his head in front of the ministers.
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the fate of the country. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, we will work together to overcome the difficulties.”Zai Pu was terrified as he reported in a trembling voice.
"Lord Yu, just say it quickly. At this critical moment, Great Wu cannot tolerate any mistakes. Otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable.”The ministers around him began to discuss animatedly, all of them looking worried.
"Yuqing, I know your ability. I hope that you will prioritize the fate of Great Wu and point out a clear path. I will definitely reward you handsomely.”
Yu Heng sneered in his heart, knowing that Fu Chai had already slowly fallen into his trap.
"Yes, but please forgive me for my offense, Your Majesty.”
"Alright, this king pardons your offense. Please speak quickly, Yuqing.”Wu Wang clearly became impatient and uneasy, believing Yu Heng's words even more firmly.
At this moment, Xi Shi walked out after changing her clothes. She was draped in luxurious clothes, and with the cold night wind, she looked as charming as a fairy. The officials present could not help but take a few more glances.
"Beloved Consort, why did you come out? Be careful not to catch a cold." Wu Wang gently reminded him. His big hand naturally held onto that charming jade-like hand, attracting the jealousy of all the men present. Of course, in front of Wu Wang, as officials, they could only silently envy and hate.
"It's fine. It's so lively outside. I thought it was someone. So it was Lord Yu who was causing trouble here? If you don't go back now, the king will punish you.”Although Xi Shi said this, she was happy in her heart. In her opinion, Yu Heng cared about her like this. She was in the room with Wu Wang, how could he not be angry? In this way, it proved that she had an important place in his heart.
"Thank you Imperial Concubine for your reminder. I came to disturb the King tonight because of an urgent matter. I had no choice but to do so. The King has already pardoned my crimes, so Imperial Concubine can rest assured.”
"Yes, beloved consort, I know you're unhappy. I'll comfort you properly later, okay?”The King of Wu did not care about the many officials in front of him and actually confessed his love in public. The officials below shook their heads.
"Your Majesty, the heavens warned us just now. The only way to remedy this is to abstinence for half a year.”After Yu Heng finished speaking, he kowtowed to the ground. Immediately after, the ministers knelt down and begged the King of Wu to follow the warning of heaven and stay away from his desires.
"How dare you interfere in this king's private matters? Don't use the fate of the country to pressure me, this king doesn't believe it.”When Wu Wang heard this, he had a huge reaction. He didn't expect that Yu Heng would actually say this. Looking at the beauty beside him, how could his mortal heart ignore her?
"Your Majesty, you would rather believe that there is such a thing. Although a beauty is good, the country is more important.”Wu Zixu advised with tears in his eyes. Yu Heng wondered why these iron-blooded men would cry when they faced death on the battlefield. Could it be that he was blindly loyal?
Xi Shi did not speak. Her beautiful phoenix eyes stared straight at Yu Heng in front of her. She was proud in her heart. This man really had a way. It was also a wonder to be jealous to this extent.
"Stop talking. This king can only agree temporarily, but I can't guarantee that I can do it for half a year.”The King of Wu was extremely angry and started to speak without restraint. There was a hundred unwillingness in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.
"Your Majesty is wise." Yu Heng cried out, he was so happy that he almost laughed out loud.
Counting the time, the date of the King of Yue's restoration was approaching. Fu Chai did not have much time left. He could not change history. Looking at the loyal Wu Zixu beside him, he sighed in his heart.
"Alright, you guys go back first. This king is tired.”Just as he was about to take Xi Shi's hand and enter the room, he suddenly realized that there were times when she was far away from him. Although she was close, she was also far away.
"Sigh, forget it. You can return to the side palace.”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xi Shi bowed. Under the escort of two palace maids, her beautiful figure gradually disappeared into the night.
On the way back, Wu Zixu seemed to be quite happy and asked,""Brother Yu, it seems that you and I have thought of the same thing. Actually, I have long seen the Imperial Concubine as a scourge. Not only is she a Yue woman, but she is also obsessed with the king all day long.”
Yu Heng smiled and did not make a statement. However, he knew that Wu Zixu was right. Xi Shi in history was indeed an intelligent woman. If they had to blame someone, they could only blame their different standpoints.
Yu Heng was thinking about the hidden bitterness of Empress Chu and the pride of Xi Shi. The two beauties had their own plans, but Xi Shi was more important to him. It was related to his return, so he had to get it. Picking Yin was the only way. Thinking of this, his desire became more determined.
