Although Ouyang Yongrong had repeatedly expressed that she did not want Chu Dieyi to have a child so early, Chu Dieyi still stubbornly wanted to have a child. She believed that it was not enough to have Ouyang Yongrong alone. She also wanted to give birth to Ouyang Yongrong's child. After all, having a child was a complete family. Only then could she consolidate her position in the palace and completely occupy Ouyang Yongrong.
Therefore, Chu Dieyi secretly went to the imperial physician to ask for medicine without Ouyang Yongrong's knowledge. Whether it was medicinal soup or pills that could nourish qi and blood or nourish yin and yang, she would not refuse.
Then, she heard some secret recipes from an old palace maid, such as burning the cherry crown, wearing clothes, and winding the bowstring. Apart from the fact that Die Yi didn't have the guts to try these methods, she had tried almost all of them, but none of them worked.
What was a coat of dust? The so-called " Chrysalis Ash " referred to the firstborn boy's Chrysalis, and the " Chrysalis Ash " referred to washing and burning the Chrysalis with wine to eat! What a joke! Eat your clothes? She even had to pinch her nose and swallow her medicine, let alone eat her clothes? She wouldn't do it! She would rather pull Ouyang Yongrong to be affectionate a few more times. That way, she would have more opportunities, wouldn't she?
On this day, Chu Dieyi was holed up in the Moon Cloud Residence, studying the "Seed Spirit Pill" sent by the Minister's wife.
It was said that this pill was quite effective. The minister's wife had two sons because she had taken this pill. But why did this Ghost Spirit Pill smell so bad? Although the other medicines were not very fragrant and tasted bitter, they did not smell bad! Could it be that there was…rat feces in it?
Chu Dieyi almost vomited at the thought of rat feces! He hurriedly threw the seed panacea on the ground and stepped on it with his foot.
At this moment, the eunuch came forward and reported,""Empress, Reverend Yu 'in requests an audience."
Chu Dieyi was stunned. What was that old witch doing here?
Just as Chu Dieyi was in a daze, Ming Mei had already stepped in without waiting for the announcement.
"Ming Mei greets the Empress!" She didn't call herself Yu 'in, but called herself Ming Mei.
Chu Dieyi glanced at her. She was dressed in a proper Daoist robe, but her eyebrows, eyes, and lips were full of charm. How was this a Daoist nun? She was more like a vixen!
Chu Dieyi sat down on the chaise lounge and crossed her legs in an arrogant manner. She didn't forget to drink tea and munch on melon seeds while squeezing out a fake smile." The weather is hot. If the Immortal Yu 'in has something to do, she can just send someone to pass a message. Why did she have to come all the way here personally?”
Ming Mei heard Chu Dieyi's words and remembered them in her heart. She also squeezed out a smile." ChenQie heard that Niangniang was thirsty for children and looked for the secret recipe everywhere. It just so happens that ChenQie has a folk prescription here, so I came to inform the Empress.”
Chu Dieyi stared at her suspiciously. According to Ouyang Yongrong, Consort Jin's daughter was killed by this vixen. Now that she knew that she wanted to have a child, it should be too late to stop her. Why would she send a folk prescription?
Ming Mei seemed to have seen through Chu Dieyi's thoughts. She smiled." The Empress suspects Ming Mei's intentions? Do you think Ming Mei wants to harm the Empress?"
"Isn't it?"
"Why would Ming Mei want to harm the Empress? If the Empress was pregnant, it would be to leave behind a son for the King. To be able to leave behind a son for the King, Ming Mei would be too happy, so why would she want to harm the Empress?”
Chu Dieyi snorted and muttered,"You don't mean what you say. You're pretending to be kind."
Ming Mei turned a deaf ear and continued,"Ming Mei is a cultivator. In this life, it is impossible for her to leave an heir for the king." However, the Empress is different. The Empress is the Queen, and she is young and beautiful. It is not impossible for her to give birth to a boy and a girl for the King, but unfortunately…"
"What's a pity?"
"Unfortunately, no matter what method the Empress uses, in the end, it might be a waste of effort!”
Chu Dieyi squinted at Ming Mei." How could I have worked for nothing? Brother Rong and I are still young. As long as we continue to work hard, we will definitely be able to have children.”
"Of course the Empress is young, but the King…" Ming Mei said meaningfully.
"What happened to Brother Rong?"
" His Majesty…" Ming Mei looked at Chu Dieyi thoughtfully." Didn't His Majesty tell the Empress?”
"Brother Rong didn't tell me anything?”
Ming Mei deliberately dragged out her voice.
Chu Dieyi was a little anxious." What happened to Brother Rong?”
"Your Majesty, don't look at how elegant and refined His Majesty is. In fact, he is very brave and good at fighting on the battlefield. He is almost invincible. Even East Emperor Yelu Longhao and Yu Emperor Dugu Han are not His Majesty's match. It was a pity that horses had messy hooves and people had missteps. No matter how powerful the king was, he was still a mortal.”Speaking up to this point, Ming Mei stopped as if she wanted to keep Chu Dieyi in suspense.
Chu Dieyi knew that Ming Mei was keeping her in suspense. Normally, she would have asked someone to chase Ming Mei out. However, this matter concerned Ouyang Yongrong, so Chu Dieyi could only endure it.
She suppressed her temper and asked,"Immortal Yu 'in, may I ask what happened to His Majesty?"”
"The king was seriously injured in a battle and took a long time to recover.”
Chu Dieyi suddenly thought of the scars on Ouyang Yongrong's body.
She had once asked Ouyang Yongrong how the scars on his body came about, but he had told her in a few words, as if he did not want to talk about it in depth. Now that he thought about it, those scars must have been left behind by him during the war, right?
Chu Dieyi heaved a sigh of relief." So what? Brother Rong has already recovered, hasn't he?”
Ming Mei shook her head." Empress, do you know where His Majesty is injured?”
Chu Dieyi looked at her with disdain and said,""Of course it's the body. Where else could it be? Besides, Brother Rong and I are together day and night, loving each other day and night. How can I not know what scars Brother Rong has?”
Unexpectedly, Ming Mei was still smiling, but there was a hint of resentment and viciousness that was well concealed in her smile." Of course, Your Majesty knows what injuries Your Majesty has, but those injuries are only superficial. As for some injuries that you can't see, Your Majesty might not know."”
"What do you mean?"
Ming Mei took a deep breath and looked at Chu Dieyi. She slowly said,"The part where the King is injured is the most important part of a man. Therefore, it is also a hidden disease that a man will never take the initiative to mention, because it concerns a man's face and is also the key to whether the bloodline of the Royal Family of Yue can continue. Empress, do you know what I am saying?”
Chu Dieyi's face turned red and she was so surprised that she couldn't even speak.
How was this possible? How did he get injured there? Because no one knew Ouyang Yongrong better than she did, and no one knew Ouyang Yongrong's physical condition better than she did, she knew that it was impossible for him to be injured there.
If he was really injured in that fatal part, then how could he want her and love her?
She shook her head." That's impossible. Brother Rong isn't injured. He isn't injured there!"”
"Whether you believe it or not, it's a fact that the King was injured, and it's also a fact that he lost his fertility. Otherwise, why would he leave the six concubines alone and drink until dawn?”
Chu Dieyi jumped up from the couch, her face full of disbelief." What did you say? Are you saying that Brother Rong, he, he can't have children?”
Ming Mei's face revealed a smug and cruel smile." That's right, His Majesty really can't have children. Because of this, His Majesty hasn't touched any woman for a long time, including me and Consort Jin.”
Chu Dieyi shook her head repeatedly." Impossible! Impossible! If Brother Rong really couldn't bear children, then, then where did Consort Jin's child come from?”
"Of course it's an affair!" Ming Mei said coldly.”
"An affair?"
"Yes, Consort Jin not only had an affair with someone, but she also shamelessly got pregnant with a child. She wanted to use the child to tie the king's heart. Unfortunately, her wishful thinking was wrong! The King had never touched her, and even if he had, it was impossible for her to have a child.”
"Then that child…that child called Xiao Zhen…"
"His Majesty personally ordered him to be strangled to death!”
Chu Dieyi fell onto the couch with a thud." Strangle, strangle?”
"That's right! Did the Queen think that the bastard did not deserve to die?”
Hearing this, Chu Dieyi was speechless. She widened her eyes and stared at her hand. After a while, she asked reluctantly," She went crazy. Is it because the child was strangled to death, so she…"
"Of course. Which mother wouldn't go crazy when she saw her child being strangled to death? In fact, the king was already magnanimous towards her. According to the royal rules, Consort Jin had committed such a shameless crime and should have been sent to the execution platform to be burned. However, the king only killed that child and spared her life. Was this not magnanimous?”
Chu Dieyi's petite body couldn't help but tremble." This, how can this be called magnanimity? This was simply cruel. Since they said that she was promiscuous and shameless, and that her child was a bastard, why didn't they kill her as well? Why did he let her suffer alone? This is crueler than killing her!"
Ming Mei smiled." I don't know if it's cruel or not, but that's the King's decision. As a wife, how can I have any say in it?”
She took out a medicine bottle from her bosom and placed it on the table. Then, she flung her horsetail whisk and walked towards the door." Your Highness, this is a child-bearing panacea that ChenQie obtained from an unknown hermit. I heard that if you take it three times a day, it will be effective after three consecutive days. I don't know if this medicine is really effective, but since the niangniang is thirsty for children, this concubine will give this medicine to the niangniang. After all, this concubine no longer needs this medicine.”
Before Ming Mei stepped out of the door, she did not forget to tell Chu Dieyi,""ChenQie will take her leave. Please keep today's matter from His Majesty, lest His Majesty be unhappy. Right, if the Empress does not believe what ChenQie said, you can go and ask Consort Jin for confirmation. Although she is crazy, but sometimes she is still quite sober.”
Chu Dieyi sat on the chair in a daze, thinking about Ming Mei's words!! The King had lost his ability to reproduce!
Brother Rong lost his ability to have children?
How was this possible? He was such a romantic, elegant, and beautiful person. How could he not be able to have children?
No wonder! It was no wonder that when he heard that she wanted to get pregnant, he repeatedly opposed it. It turned out that he had already lost the ability to carry on the family line. It was no wonder that he did not want to have a child on his own. It was no wonder that he would say that as long as she obediently became his wife and accompanied him, it would be fine!
But if he was really hurt, how could he love her every night?
Thinking of this, Chu Dieyi couldn't help but think of the beautiful scenery when the two of them were entangled. She thought of how gentle, passionate, and patient he was when he loved her. It made her deeply understand that being a woman was so blissful and so happy. This kind of him actually…
No! She didn't believe it, she didn't believe anything! She didn't believe that Ouyang Yongrong was really injured, nor did she believe that he had lost his ability to reproduce. She also didn't believe that the gentle and refined Ouyang Yongrong would do something like killing innocent lives. She didn't believe everything that old vixen Ming Mei said! She wanted to verify it personally. She wanted to find Consort Jin and ask her everything!
Chu Dieyi had always been an impatient person. Once she had an idea, she immediately got up and changed her clothes. She didn't even bring her followers and quietly left Moon Cloud Residence to Xianning Palace.
The gates of Xianning Palace were locked, and there were a few eunuchs standing guard outside.
When Chu Dieyi was in the Phoenix Palace, she had seen many of these palaces and halls. She was very familiar with the structure of these palaces. She could see where there were doors, where there were windows, and even where there were cracks and passages. Therefore, she took a look at the Xianning Palace and soon found an entrance to sneak in.
This Xianning Palace was the residence of the King and Queen of Yue, so it was naturally magnificent. However, after Consort Jin Han Susu was imprisoned, this place was almost in ruins. The tables and chairs were toppled over, the room was filled with dust, and the walls and pillars were written with the word "hate". Judging from the color, it seemed to be written in blood, which had turned reddish-brown after a long time. However, those blood words added a little more mystery and terror to Xianning Palace.
The moldy smell almost made Chu Dieyi vomit. The spider silk that was wrapped around the place revealed the desolation of this place. Coupled with the dim light, Chu Dieyi couldn't help but want to run.
However, her stubbornness to find out the truth made Chu Dieyi suppress the uneasiness in her heart. She pinched her nose and searched for Consort Jin in the desolate Xianning Palace.
"Consort Jin niangniang, where are you? Consort Jin niangniang, Consort Jin niangniang!"
Chu Dieyi called out in a low voice. She was afraid that if she called out too loudly, it would disturb the eunuchs guarding outside. If she called out too loudly, Consort Jin would not be able to hear her.
So she put her hand over her mouth and called out softly,"Consort Jin, Consort Jin!"
Suddenly, a cold hand reached out and grabbed Chu Dieyi's ankle. Chu Dieyi was so scared that she almost screamed,""Who is it? Who is it?"
A shrill female laughter rang out,""You killed Little Zhen, didn't you? It's you, it must be you who killed Little Zhen! I'm going to kill you to avenge Little Zhen! I'm going to kill you to avenge Little Zhen!”
Before Chu Dieyi could see who the woman was, she was strangled by the neck. A pair of bloodshot eyes stared at her. The person strangling her neck was the crazy Consort Jin, Han Susu!
Han Susu gripped Chu Dieyi tightly with both hands and shouted frantically,"I've caught you! I've finally caught you! I'm going to kill you to avenge Little Zhen!”
Chu Dieyi, who was scared out of her wits, kicked her feet and hit her hands randomly." Let me go! Let me go!"”
"Hahaha! I've finally caught you. I've waited so long. I've finally caught you! You can't escape. This time, no matter who you find, you can't escape. I want revenge for Little Zhen. I want revenge for Little Zhen!”
Han Susu's eyes lit up with excitement, as if she thought Chu Dieyi was her daughter's murderer and wanted her dead.
A woman might not have much strength, but a woman who had gone crazy had a shocking amount of strength. Chu Dieyi was petite and did not know martial arts, so she could not break free from Han Susu's grip.
In fact, she did not have the strength to struggle anymore because she was about to suffocate.
Chu Dieyi felt like she couldn't breathe. Her head was so swollen and dizzy. Everything in front of her seemed to be spinning.
Just as Chu Dieyi's hands and feet gradually drooped down weakly and she was about to die, a figure suddenly came in. That person knocked Han Susu unconscious at lightning speed and saved Chu Dieyi from the brink of death.
Chu Dieyi lay on the ground, coughing and panting.
Heavens! She was almost strangled to death by Han Susu! Damn Ming Mei, she said that Han Susu was very clear-headed sometimes, but that was a lie. That old vixen was obviously trying to kill her! If not for someone saving her in time, she would have become Ming Mei's scapegoat!
Thinking of this, Chu Dieyi turned around and looked at the person who saved her in the nick of time." Thank you, I…you, you…"
An indescribable fear suddenly rose in Chu Dieyi's heart. She glared at the masked man in black," You, you are…"
The man in black looked at Chu Dieyi coldly and punched her in the stomach. Chu Dieyi groaned and fainted from the pain!
Chu Dieyi only felt that this place was so cold that her entire body was trembling. It was so cold that her teeth were chattering. It was so cold that she could barely open her eyes.
"Wretched girl, I know you're awake. Hurry up and get up. I have something to ask you!”
A man said coldly. Then, he picked up a bucket of water and poured it on Chu Dieyi's head. As expected, Chu Dieyi woke up from her coma.
She slowly opened her eyes and met the coldest, evilest, and most ruthless eyes she had ever seen in her life.
"You!" She subconsciously stepped back because she recognized this man. He was the man in black who had kidnapped her at the Empress Conferring Ceremony and thrown her into the ancient well, intending to drown her alive. "What do you want to do? What do you want to do by bringing me here?”
The man in black squatted down and glared at Chu Dieyi." I want your life!”
"You want to kill me?" Chu Dieyi was so scared that she shrank back. Her eyes were wide open, and her chest was heaving up and down violently.
"Yes, I wanted to kill you in the past, and I still want to kill you now.”
"Do we have a grudge?"
The man in black shook his head." There's no past grievances, no recent enmity.”
"If that's the case, why do you have to kill me?”
"Because you are Ouyang Yongrong's woman, you deserve to die!" the man in black said word by word.”
Chu Dieyi was stunned." Brother Rong? You want to kill me because of Brother Rong?"
"That's right. Ouyang Yongrong took everything that belonged to me, so I want to get it back from him one by one.”
"Brother Rong took everything from you? Impossible! I don't believe it. Brother Rong isn't that kind of person. He isn't that kind of person!”
The man in black was furious." He's that kind of person! Not only did he take away my country, but he also took away my throne, my wife, and my daughter. He used despicable and shameless methods to take everything from me! So I want revenge. I want to take back what belongs to me from him and get justice for me.”
Chu Dieyi blinked, unable to recover from his words.
After a while, she remembered that her elder sister, Chu Fengyi, had once mentioned in the Phoenix Palace that the State of Yue was located between the Western Qin and the Xia Country. It was obtained by the Western Sage Ouyang Che and Ouyang Yongrong in a battle that defeated the Emperor of the Xia Country, Dugu Han. Because of its strategic position and in order to reward Ouyang Yongrong for her assistance, he gave the State of Yue to Ouyang Yongrong and made her king.
From the tone of the man in black, it seemed that he was angry at Ouyang Yongrong for taking away his country. Could he be the former Crown Prince of Yue State, Jinyao, who was ousted by Ouyang Che?
"You…you are the former Crown Prince of Yue State, Jinyao?" Chu Dieyi asked tentatively.”
The man in black stared at Chu Dieyi for a long time before he burst into laughter." What a great Dunhuang Ritian. The world only knows that the most beautiful man in the world is the King of Yue, Ouyang Yongrong, but they forgot about me, the former Crown Prince of Yue. I didn't expect you to remember me?”
Are you really Jinyao?"
The man in black pulled off the black cloth covering his face, revealing a handsome and pale face." I am Jinyao."”
Chu Dieyi shook her head. She couldn't believe that the person in front of her was Jinyao, who had been dead for many years." You…Aren't you already dead?" Why are you still here?”
"I am already dead, but the injustice in my heart has brought me back to life. I want to seek justice from Ouyang Yongrong.”
" But Brother Rong is a good monarch. Although he is not a sage, he has at least done a lot. The people of Yue Country love him very much. This is enough for the people of a country. Why do you have to…"
Before Chu Dieyi could finish her sentence, Jinyao had already slapped her hard on the face.
"You cheap girl, what do you know! Do you know the pain of having your country taken away? Do you know the humiliation of being a prisoner or even a beggar? Do you know how I survived those days where I had to eat one meal after another and was ridiculed by others? All of this was because of Ouyang Yongrong, so I want to get it back from her one by one.”
Chu Dieyi's face was covered in tears as she asked,""What does this have to do with me? I don't even know you. Why do you want to kill me time and time again?”
Jinyao smiled coldly and said,"You may have no grudge against me, and I have no reason to kill you, but the same cannot be said for the woman beside Yongrong.”
Chu Dieyi's eyes widened." You mean…"
"I'm the one who wants to kill you!"
Chu Dieyi turned around and saw a face that she hated.! Beautiful!#
