Chapter 641 A group of drama queens
And more importantly, he didn't want to make things difficult for Lu Beichen and Fu Ling.
"Your Highness Prince Gen is too kind. I did not take yesterday's words to heart. I hope Your Highness will not take it to heart."
Xuanyuan Gen also realized that perhaps because of his rebirth, the direction of many things were different from his previous life. If he always thought about the things of his previous life, he didn't know when he would be able to get over it. It was time to make a break with his previous life.
Lu Beichen took out the birthday gift for Xuanyuan Hong. The gift he chose was not a product of this era, but a nine-shot crossbow. It could be said that it was exactly what he wanted. With this crossbow, he would be like a god in battle.
Not only that, even the production drawings were presented.
He originally wanted to use this to "bribe" the emperor so that his marriage with Fu Ling would go more smoothly.
Today, the palace gate is already crowded with people, and I even met some acquaintances on the road.
"Royal brother, royal sister-in-law." Xuanyuan Gen brought the two of them to meet Xuanyuan Jing.
"Senior, Beichen, this is my eldest brother Xuanyuan Jing."
He also introduced Master Lu Beichen and his disciple to the eldest prince.
Upon learning that the old man in front of him was the Medicine Saint, Xuanyuan Jing's jaw almost dropped. Although he was a prince, he was not at all arrogant when he saw the famous Medicine Saint right in front of him.
He stepped forward and bowed as a junior, "So it's you, Senior Medicine Saint. I'm sorry for not welcoming you in person."
"Your Highness Prince Jing is too kind. I, Hong, am unworthy of this."
"I have long heard of your great name, and it is a great honor to meet you today."
Everyone entered the palace while chatting.
Hong Gu was a little stunned looking at the magnificent palace gate. Not long ago, Chu Yunge tried every possible way to enter the palace but failed. He had sworn that he would not set foot in the Xuanyuan Palace, but it had only been a short time, and he had to go back on his original oath.
Thinking of this, his old face became a little hot.
Seeing that he was standing still, Lu Beichen stopped and walked over to him, "Master, what's wrong?"
Retracting his thoughts, he slowly shook his head: "Nothing, just thinking about some old things in the past. No problem, let's go."
In the end, he still stepped through that door, which was also a farewell to the past. The dead are gone, and the living must continue to live.
Thinking of this, he no longer felt conflicted.
"Royal brother, the Empress Dowager is already pregnant. Even if she doesn't come today, father won't say anything. Why let her come out and suffer?" Xuanyuan Gen's tone was full of complaint.
"Royal brother, I misunderstood your royal brother. I begged him to bring me here. I haven't seen Ling'er for a few days and I miss her."
"That's right. I've already tried to persuade her, but she just refuses to do it. There's nothing I can do about it." Xuanyuan Jing shook his head helplessly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine now. Besides, with Ling'er here, nothing can possibly happen to me."
Fu Ling was drinking tea boredly at this time, and there was a lot of chattering around him.
The imperial concubines were all very curious about the queen's appearance. After just one month's absence, the difference was so great that they almost couldn't recognize her. They were envious and jealous of her in their hearts, but they praised Bu Hanci on the surface.
Fu Ling exclaimed, "Wow, this guy is indeed in the royal circle. Most people can't be so hypocritical, yet there is nothing wrong with him. He is really a master. If he enters the entertainment industry in the future, the Hundred Flowers Award, the Feitian Award... wouldn't that be easy for him?
After praising the queen, he started talking about the emperor.
"Sister, after all these years, the Emperor has remained faithful to you. I'm so envious, but the palace is always full of old people like us, so it's a bit deserted. Are you planning to cancel this year's selection?"
Bu Hanci sneered in her heart, but said with embarrassment on her face: "Sister, how can you say that? I attach great importance to the annual selection of concubines. I have mentioned it to His Majesty many times, but he doesn't listen to me. He even said that you few are enough in this palace. What is going on? You make me feel embarrassed. This matter, I simply don't care about it. Sisters feel a little cold, so go to His Majesty and persuade him. If His Majesty agrees, I will immediately make arrangements."
They just mentioned it to upset Bu Hanci, but they didn't expect her to be so nonchalant.
Wow, Fu Ling was so happy watching this.
It seems that she, the queen mother, is also naive and innocent, and her soft knife is not without any harm.
The imperial concubine's expression was extremely unnatural at this moment. If the emperor agreed, would they still be here?
They have given up competing for favor and are just thinking of finding some new people to make trouble for the queen. Men are all of the same character. When they have a new love, they forget their old love. I don’t believe that the emperor will not be tempted by the young and beautiful newcomers?
But even this small wish has not been fulfilled for more than ten years. In the past, they hoped that there would be no newcomers, so that His Majesty could at least share the benefits equally.
However, since ten years ago, the emperor no longer appeared in their palace. Even if he came, he would just sit for a while and then leave. In the past few years, he didn't even sit for a while. Only on New Year's Eve or festivals every year could they see the emperor they missed so much.
As the saying goes, an empty room breeds unhappy couples, and this was common in the imperial palace.
Concubine Ning suddenly mentioned Xuanyuan Zhaoyuan: "Sister, is there any news about Yuan'er yet?"
"Yes, the Emperor has already sent people out to look for him, but there's still no news. It's really frustrating. Have you got any news back from your side?"
"No, I was so worried. How could she suddenly disappear from the palace when she was perfectly fine? Oh, didn't Ling'er also disappear from the palace not long ago? Ling'er, do you have any clues?"
Fu Ling replied with a serious expression, "Empress Ning, I didn't disappear before. I simply disguised myself as a palace maid and secretly went to Prince Gen's Mansion. I had my brother to help me, so it went so smoothly. When Sister Yuan got into trouble, I was still in Prince Gen's Mansion, so I don't know how she disappeared. Father is investigating this matter, and I should have news soon."
"I'm also worried about Sister Yuan's safety. I hope she doesn't encounter any danger. I heard not long ago that a murderer appeared out there. He likes to kill beautiful women, wash them and cook them into a milky white soup..." He said with a look of fear on his face.
Everyone's hair stood on end and goose bumps appeared all over their body.
"Ling'er, where did you hear that? Don't scare us."
"Yeah, why haven't I heard of it?"
"It was my brother the Emperor who told me about this. The criminal has already been brought to justice. This incident had a huge impact, so after the investigation, the news was suppressed, so many people still don't know about it."
What Fu Ling said was true, but it was not that exaggerated. The man liked the woman, but unfortunately she did not love him. After his courtship failed, he turned his love into hatred and cooked and ate the woman's flesh.
Because of this perverted behavior, a new world opened up for him. Unfortunately, the law is strict and no one can escape it. When he was about to commit the second crime, he was caught by someone. Not only was the woman rescued successfully, but the man was also arrested.
