177,—the twentieth cannon fodder—
Xuan Ye asked Wei Xiaobao to go to Chao Aobai's house and took out a forty-two chapter sutra and handed it to Mao Dongzhu. Mao Dongzhu looked at the forty-two chapter sutra in his hand and nodded with satisfaction, "Xiao Guizi, you did a good job this time.
, Aijia must reward you."
"It is Xiao Guizi's blessing to be able to do things for the Queen Mother. I don't dare to ask for rewards." He and his eldest brother Suo have already made five contributions to his grandfather's. Can the money given by the Queen Mother be as much as that? Not to mention him.
I also got a treasured garment and a treasured sword. Aobai's defeat this time was really good. Your grandfather gave them to me and made me a fortune.
Now he can afford not to mention one Li Chun Courtyard, but ten Li Chun Courtyards.
"Empress Huang Niang, what are these forty-two chapters? Is it worth asking the emperor brother to find it for you from Obai?"
Mao Dongzhu looked at the forty-two chapters of the Sutra in his hand, put it on the table and said, "This contains the dragon veins of the Qing Dynasty. Your Majesty Ama specifically told me before leaving that I must find it and not fall into the hands of thieves.
Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will not be protected."
Taomi was startled, and then asked, "Well, Queen Mother, now that you have these forty-two chapters, will our Qing Dynasty be able to last for thousands of years?"
"It's not that simple. There are eight volumes of these forty-two chapters. Only if these eight volumes are collected can the Qing Dynasty never have to worry about future troubles."
Taomi nodded clearly and did not continue to ask any more questions. Everything Mao Dongzhu told her was true, and she really had no defense against her at all.
Wei Xiaobao was credited with capturing Ao Bai, and Xuan Ye made him the sixth-grade eunuch manager. Now he is considered a figure in the Qing palace. However, the fact that he found the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra in Ao Bai's home was known to Hai Dafu, and
Hai Dafu also found out that he had given the Forty-Two Chapter Sutra to Mao Dongzhu, and immediately wanted to kill Wei Xiaobao.
Of course Wei Xiaobao ran away, and Hai Dafu had no intention of chasing him. He was poisoned by him and wouldn't live long. What he had to do now was to find Mao Dongzhu and expose her conspiracy.
There was an assassination in the palace. The clothes and swords of the captured assassins were engraved with the words "Prince Pingxi's Palace". Xuan Ye was not stupid, so of course he could have thought that someone had framed him, but Xuan Ye also knew that Prince Wu Sangui of Pingxi was not a good person.
, it happened that at this time Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Prince Pingxi, came to Beijing, Xuan Ye asked Wei Xiaobao to take these things to Wu Yingxiong, and blackmailed him severely.
However, Taomi just listened to Xuan Ye's casual remarks and did not ask in detail what it was about.
Taomi has not been out during this period. She has been paying attention to the affairs of the Shenlong Sect. The matter of Hong Antong is not urgent yet, but Mimi is very capable and brought the little butterflies back from Shenlong Island.
A lot of venomous snakes are placed in the space. At night, Taomi can carry out her plan to control the snakes.
Putting a jade flute to her mouth, she watched the snakes moving back and forth in response to the sound of her flute. After playing for a long time, the snakes followed her wishes. Taomi put her disciple down.
These snakes have been trained before, so it is not easy to retrain them and listen to her. But fortunately, she has found the trick now. Even if she reaches Shenlong Island now, she can survive with only one flute.
In the next few days, Taomi went to the space to play the flute every night. Every time she played the flute, she would hang in the dead of night. When everyone was asleep, her flute sound would not be so obvious.
.
It was almost dawn that day. Taomi just put away her flute and yawned. She was already sleepy, but now she had to stay up late every night, and her schedule was completely reversed. Just when she was about to get ready to sleep, she heard Mimi's "Hey
' a sound.
"What's wrong?"
"The little emperor and Wei Xiaobao are sitting in the pavilion in the imperial garden. It seems that they have been sitting there for a long time. Why are they sitting there if they are not sleeping at this time?" No matter official history or unofficial history, no one has ever heard that Kangxi was the emperor.
Hey, what's going on with the two of them "looking at the stars and the moon" right now?
Taomi got dressed and walked out without disturbing the maids who were keeping watch. It was already dawn, and Taomi could see the road clearly even without a lantern. When she walked to the imperial garden, she saw Xuan Ye standing there in the distance.
, and Wei Xiaobao seemed to be asleep with his hands on the table.
But Xuan Ye was a little lost, as if he had been frightened by something. How long had he been standing there? Did he hear the sound of her flute?
It seems that in the future, we will have to choose a farther place to control snakes.
"Oh, don't worry. Although the sounds in the space can be heard outside, not all can be heard. The little emperor's martial arts is not very good, so naturally he does not have such super hearing. Don't think too much."
Taomi nodded and agreed with Mimi's statement. She walked over and stood next to Xuan Ye. When she saw the heavy bags under his eyes, she knew that he had not slept all night, but she still asked, "Brother Emperor, why are you here?"
Are you here to watch the sunrise?"
"Jianning?" Xuan Ye was a little stunned. He had just learned a big secret, and when he was thinking about what to do, Taomi suddenly broke into his sight.
Xuan Ye's voice woke up Wei Xiaobao, who had not been sleeping soundly to begin with, "I'm here to see Princess Jianning."
Taomi didn't scream, and Wei Xiaobao naturally didn't get up either. Taomi asked, "Xiao Guizi, what's wrong with my emperor brother? What's he doing here?"
"This...that, princess, you'd better ask the emperor yourself. I can't say much about royal matters."
"Jianning, please don't embarrass Xiao...Xiao Guizi." He almost called him "Xiao Bao", "My affairs are not something he can explain clearly. Xiao Guizi, please get up."
"Brother Emperor, is there something that you can't tell me?" What could make him so embarrassed? Even when he was capturing Oboi, he never stayed up all night.
Xuan Ye waved his hand to tell Wei Xiaobao to retreat, looked into Taomi's eyes, put his hands on Taomi's shoulders, and said seriously, "Jianning, how do you feel about our current... empress?
"
"Empress?" With just Xuan Ye's words, Taomi understood what was going on. It seemed that he already knew that Mao Dongzhu was not the real Queen Mother.
"Brother Emperor, why do you suddenly ask this? Of course Huang'e Niang is very good to us." No matter who Jianning's biological mother is, Mao Dongzhu is still very good to her. Of course, Mao Dongzhu is also very good to Xuan Ye, but
After all, she is not Xuan Ye's biological mother.
But the woman locked in the secret cell is not Xuan Ye's mother-in-law.
"Yes, she is good to us." Xuan Ye murmured. When Obai was in power, she told him to be patient and told him many principles of life, but she... was a lie.
"Brother Emperor, why do you ask so suddenly? Did something happen to Huang's mother?" Taomi asked pretending not to understand.
Xuan Ye shook his head. He and Jianning were originally half-mothers. The woman sitting as the queen mother now is not his mother, nor Jianning's mother. She has never harmed them over the years. On the contrary
He also taught him a lot of things. How should he treat such a person?
Looking at Taomi's clear eyes, Xuan Ye cleared the thoughts in his mind. Now that Huang Ama is still here, let's wait until Huang Ama comes back. "Jianning, you still have an impression of Huang Ama."
?"
Taomi shook her head. Xuanye was six years old when Emperor Shunzhi abdicated, and Jianning was only four years old. Although a four-year-old child should remember a lot of things, she really didn't find anything about Shunzhi in Jianning's memory.
The memory may be because Mao Dongzhu did not let her meet Shunzhi, or Shunzhi doted on Concubine Dong E and their children at that time, and did not like Jianning very much.
Xuan Ye just asked, let alone Jian Ning, even his memory of Huang Ama only stayed at his doting on Concubine Dong E, which made his mother-in-law look sad every day, but the son always had something to do with his father.
There is a kind of worship inside, and this worship will not disappear as time goes by.
It has been ten years since Shunzhi went to Mount Wutai to become a monk. Xuan Ye had long forgotten what Shunzhi looked like, but he clearly remembered how tall and majestic his father looked.
Xuan Ye did not tell Taomi about Shunzhi becoming a monk in Mount Wutai. He did not want her to worry about these things at a young age. Some things were enough for him to worry about alone.
Xuan Ye decided to stand still and asked Wei Xiaobao to go to Wutai Mountain to invite Shunzhi back. At that time, he would make another decision about Mao Dongzhu. He didn't tell anyone about this, but he didn't know when his relationship with Mao Dongzhu became more open. Taomi watched
Mao Dongzhu... naturally could see it.
"He is a smart child, but it's a pity that no matter how smart he is, he is not your child." Mao Dongzhu said softly while lying on the bed at night.
There wasn't even a maid keeping vigil in the room, but the person Mao Dongzhu wanted to hear could still hear it. The corners of his lips raised and he said, "He has asked the little eunuch to go find Shunzhi, but Shunzhi won't
After all, Concubine Dong E is everywhere in the Qing Palace. He is afraid that she will be hurt when she comes back. You think it is ridiculous or not, the once arrogant Lord Shunzhi is afraid of returning to his home."
"No, maybe when Concubine Dong E died, this place was no longer home, and his family was only Concubine Dong E and their children. Xuan Ye, Jianning, and even you are not worthy of being called his family."
The Queen Mother in the hidden compartment was extremely angry and was breathing heavily, but all she could see was darkness, without a trace of light. The past events poured into her mind one after another. Those things she didn't want to remember.
She got up, but she had done nothing for so many years and could only recall the previous events again and again. She thought she had thought too much and no longer felt anything.
Why did her heart still hurt when Mao Dongzhu said this, as if she was being grabbed back and forth by a big hand, even though she had been scratched into pieces, why did she still feel heartache?
So strong, so unwilling.
Mao Dongzhu, who was outside, could feel her emotions even if he couldn't see her through the hidden compartment, but she didn't mean to shut up. She continued, "That kid Jianning always got into trouble and was disobedient in the past two years, but this time
She has grown up in the past two years and has become very sensible. She is also very filial to me. She knew that I was not sleeping well two days ago and embroidered a purse for me with soothing medicinal materials in it. Now it hangs on the bedside.
, you can smell it, right?"
"Okay, I won't tell you any more. I guess you are tired. The smell of this sachet can really make people sleepy." After Mao Dongzhu finished speaking, his breathing calmed down after a while and he fell asleep.
And the current Queen Mother, who also smells the scent of the sachet, can't sleep at all now. She smells the strong smell of herbs. She doesn't think it smells good at all. She even hates this smell very much. It's not that between mother and daughter.
Does she have feelings? Why should she be filial to that bitch, not knowing that she is suffering here?
She felt more and more that the decision she made back then was so right. She was just a white-eyed wolf. It was a pity that the plan did not succeed, otherwise she would not be in the situation she is in now.
She hates Concubine Dong E, she hates Mao Dongzhu, she even hates Shunzhi. Since you love Concubine Dong E wholeheartedly, why do you still marry her?
Since she is dead, why don't you die and become a monk instead?
Ha! You must not love her that much in your heart. Although you love Concubine Dong E more than Concubine Dong E, you love your life more than Concubine Dong E.
Several months later, Mimi's data was finally researched. Looking at the results, Taomi didn't know whether she should laugh or cry.
She is sleepy. If we trace the source, we have to trace it to a long, long time ago, long before she has started to experience, long before the sect of cultivating immortals has fallen, long before she went to kill someone, so that "she" appears.
A person who is her but not her.
In the first three worlds, 'him' appeared, but after two years in this world, 'he' has not appeared yet. In the previous three worlds, that 'him' was the one who was against her.
, and when talking about actions in this life, Taomi was thinking of Wei Xiaobao's other wives, so she was not in a hurry.
Unexpectedly, 'he' would have appeared a long time ago, just in a different situation.
In the secret compartment of Cining Palace, but in this world, 'he' has no previous memory, 'he' has fallen into a deep sleep, with only a ray of consciousness following her, becoming her biggest enemy.
He no longer had the consciousness he had before, but he was still able to fight against her.
And the reason why she was sleepy was because 'he' fell into a deep sleep. They were originally one body. Although 'he' would not necessarily die when she died, 'his' existence affected her all the time.
And now 'he' is beginning to fall asleep. This is something that has never happened before. Even in the previous thousands of years, 'he' was only locked up and did not fall into a deep sleep.
"Don't be sad. This is at least a good thing, isn't it? 'He' is your biggest enemy. Now that 'he' has fallen into a deep sleep, you should feel happy." Sister Taoyao said,'
He's Taomi's biggest hidden danger. Now this hidden danger is about to be exposed. Maybe Taomi's experience will be exposed to him soon.
Taomi does not have such simple thoughts as Mimi. If she were alive, although she would not be able to attack her former self, at least physical attacks would be effective. Now there is only a wisp of spiritual consciousness following her. This is considered
What's going on? Although the attack is easy, when can she really eliminate him?
She now understood why she was asked to come to practice. It was not for the purpose of being 'perfect', but for her to personally eliminate her former self. But now 'he' was asleep and she didn't know where he was. What did she want?
When can we eliminate 'him'?
"Why do you have to think about destroying 'him'?" If 'he' dies, then the possibility of Taomi surviving is not high.
This is simply an unfair thing. If Taomi dies, 'he' will not necessarily die, but if 'he' dies, Taomi will definitely suffer damage or even life. Why is there such an unfair thing?
