Bend Over [ 折腰 ] - Chapter 171

[Chapter 169]

When it got dark, a statue of Changming Palace lamp on both sides of the vertical and horizontal corridor that ran through the palace room was lit up by the palace people, and the continuous lights dispelled the heavy night that shrouded the palace.

The emperor sat next to the imperial court in the propaganda room, his eyes looking at the candle flame in front of him for a long time, and the figure seemed to freeze.

Until this moment, he still couldn’t believe what had happened: after he was shot by the crossbow that penetrated his throat, he was resurrected from the dead and became the person he is now.

The present “self” is indeed himself, but it is another plausible “self.”

In addition to the similarity between himself and the founding emperor of Great Yan, this “self” today not only unified the world as the emperor of Great Yan earlier than before, but also everything else that happened to this “self” was also very different from his previous experience.

From the moment of chaos with that thunderbolt, many impressions of this life were intermittently reflected in his mind: it was now the second year of Taihe, and those who had fought the world with him were still there, doing a good job as his generals; His grandmother, Lady Xu, is still alive, and these days she goes to Daming Temple and will soon be able to return to the palace; And Su Shi, the woman who had been made empress by him in his original world, had inflicted a poisonous hand on his grandmother!

……

It’s chaotic, it’s all chaotic. Everything in this world, including the propaganda room he was in at the moment, was both familiar and unfamiliar to him!

He had been sitting alone for a long time, from the shadow of the sun to the west, the xuan room was gradually shrouded in a thick twilight, until the night was completely engulfed, deeper and deeper, but he was still tightly grasped by the sense of horror in his heart like a turbulent wave, until outside the xuan room, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and then, there were women and palace people talking softly, the voice was soft and clear, extremely pleasant, he could hear it at once. It was the queen he had seen during the day, another daughter from Joe’s family.

In his original world, the only impression that this Daughter of the Qiao family left on him was nothing more than a dead cold and beautiful corpse, but here, she was another queen of her own, not only that, but also the only woman she loved.

As the woman’s footsteps drew closer, the memories of spending time with the woman in his body that had been taken away came at him like a tidal wave.

During the day, the “self” and her mandarin pillow quilt, the beautiful picture clearly appeared in his mind frame by frame…

If this is all just from the memory of the original “self”, then at the moment when he snatched it away, when she subconsciously leaned into his arms because of fear of thunder, it was a real feeling, even at this moment, he still seemed to have the touch of nephrite in his arms.

He couldn’t have felt anything strange about a woman because of such a short hug. But somehow, at this moment, as the woman’s footsteps got closer, he suddenly felt nervous.

He hadn’t experienced what nervousness was in a long time. Suddenly, his uncontrolled heartbeat quickened, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

She was the one who had the closest relationship with “herself”, and if anyone found out that something was wrong with him, then that person should be her, and that was why he would be nervous in the face of her, the emperor said to himself in his heart.

Out of a subtle thought that even he didn’t know why, he didn’t want others to know what was happening to him. Anyone, including this pillow man of his.

The emperor secretly took a breath, trying to relax his body that had suddenly tightened up.

……

The cat was like a demon, tossing and turning in front of Xiao Qiao for a night, sending it back to the Gard Palace, it came back on its own, and the palace people couldn’t stop it at all, let alone catch it. Last time, he rushed towards Little Joe and stuck to her, rubbing at her feet, looking up at her, meowing softly.

The cat has always been high and cold, and it has been raising it for so many years, and in a situation like tonight, Little Joe is still the first to encounter. Leaving it, afraid that Wei Shao would come back allergic, and then forcibly send it away, I don’t know why, looking at the cat’s eyes at his beautiful eyes, listening to it at his feet made a pitiful cry like begging, his heart softened, picked it up and personally sent it to an ear hall next to the sleeping hall, asked the palace people to move its nest, let it in, crouch down and stroke it, and coaxed: “The empress dowager did not come back, do you think that the Jiade Palace is deserted?” If you don’t go back, you’ll sleep here tonight, but you’re not allowed to run around anymore! If I make any more nonsense, I’m really angry, you know? Wei Shao

was depressed and wanted to hit the wall, so he could knock himself out. But after tossing and turning for half a day and a night, he finally understood that it seemed that he was temporarily trying to get rid of the dilemma of being trapped by the teasing of a cat.

No one knew what had happened to him, and little Joe didn’t know either. He was going to toss and turn again, in case he was caught and locked up and couldn’t get close to her, it would be really miserable.

The short-lived ghost had taken his house himself in his previous life, and everything else was that what he was most afraid of was that his little Joe was taken advantage of by that guy.

Although it is also his own body, strictly speaking, the emperor who has taken the reinsertion and he are not outsiders, but his beautiful empress can only belong to him, even if he was not in a previous life!

Wei Shao knew that he could only accept this reality first.

As a matter of urgency, he must first win the pity of the Beautiful Empress and find a way to stay in this palace, so that he can seize the opportunity at any time to guard against any attempt by the unfortunate ghost emperor to the empress.

“Meow—”

He cried out in grievance, sticking out his tongue and licking the palm of her hand.

The cat’s tongue was wet and hot, and it also had soft barbs, and it was cold to be licked by it, and the palms of the hands felt numb and itchy.

Little Joe smiled, shrank back, touched its head instead, and then stood up.

……

Xiao Qiao told the palace people to wait outside and entered the propaganda room.

The emperor sat down behind the imperial court with his head bowed, and was turning over the folds in his hand.

Little Joe walked toward him and smiled, “Isn’t it over today?” I see you for a long time. It is not early, the husband should also be tired, if there is nothing important, go back to rest first, the rest of tomorrow is not too late.

She went to his side, took off the fold in his hand, sorted it out along with the book on the imperial case, put it away, and looked at him with a smile.

The emperor was surprised and felt some discomfort.

In his previous life, no woman dared to take anything from his hand like this, let alone play a trick.

No woman called him “husband” and made such a natural move in front of him that was slightly mischievous and wanton, but also exuded an incomparable sense of intimacy.

Even the big Joe he married in the first place was called a respectful “prince”.

She leaned closer, and in the emperor’s sniffle, she suddenly smelled a pleasant faint fragrance.

His breathing involuntarily slightly, fixed his mind, and said vaguely: “Shuo is also about to go back…” He stood up, lifted his feet and went out.

……

In the sleeping hall, the blue candle shines high. The palace people served the emperor and went to bed.

Xiao Qiao was lying on the cloud pillow, the cloud sideburns had been dissolved, the green silk was scattered, and the fragrant shoulder jade arm was half covered.

From the time he entered the bedchamber until he ascended the dragon bed, the emperor’s sight was almost invisibleStopped at the queen, seemingly deliberately avoiding her, not looking at her.

“Husband…”

She called out to him in a low voice.

“Tired.” The emperor closed his eyes and said, but in his mind came up with the scene of the “self” who had not exhausted the day when he had made an appointment with her tonight, and his throat tightened involuntarily and secretly.

She seemed to be silent.

After a moment, the emperor finally couldn’t help it, opened his eyes, and saw that her long eyelashes were slightly drooping, and the glare stayed on her face, as if she was thoughtful, and her heartbeat involuntarily accelerated again.

“The queen still doesn’t sleep?”

His voice was a little dry.

Little Joe laughed.

“Husband Jun misunderstood,” she said softly, “I just want to say that you look like you have something on your mind.” Whatever it is, if your husband wants to, he can talk to me. The

Emperor exhaled slowly and said, “Shuo has nothing to worry about. Go to bed early.

“Good. I listen to my husband.

Little Joe smiled at him, fell asleep, and obediently closed his eyes.

The emperor looked at the shadow of her long eyelashes cast on her face by the light shadow, and when she was slightly distracted, she suddenly opened her eyes again, and for a moment she could not dodge, and the two of them looked at each other.

“Husband, you usually call me barbaric. What’s going on today? She asked him softly with a partial face, and there seemed to be a slight grievance in her expression.

The emperor hesitated, and when she didn’t know how to deal with it for a while, she smiled again and said, “Forget it, no matter how much your husband calls me, it’s good for the barbarians to like it.” This

smile, beautiful eyes, face like spring flowers blooming, a thousand delicate, the emperor actually beat like thunder, looking at her shyly can not move his eyes.

“Husband Jun will have to go early tomorrow, rest.”

Little Joe smiled and closed his eyes again.

After a long time, the emperor finally withdrew his gaze at her and slowly closed his eyes.

Barbaric, barbaric, the birds of the wings in the Mountains and Seas Classic, if they lack one, they cannot fly.

He chewed her nipple name several times in his mind, and suddenly felt very cute.

……

At the deepest moment of the night, Wei Shao was still crouching in a corner of the dormitory, hiding himself through the curtain, pricking his ears, and staring at the direction of the dragon bed with his cat eyes wide open.

Since becoming a cat, Wei Shao felt that his hearing was more intelligent than before, and so was night vision. Any movement in the dragon bed could not escape his eyes and ears.

As long as anything was wrong, he was ready to rush out and wreak havoc.

His little Joe was dumbfounded, unaware, but fortunately the guy was still a little self-aware and didn’t seem ready to attack the queen.

As an emperor, he was inexplicably robbed by himself from his previous life, and he became a cat who only listened to the foot of the wall…

How angry! How sad!

Wei Shao stared at the near dawn. After a night of nothing, he finally fell asleep in a daze, and suddenly, a golden armor god stepped on the clouds, came to him, and called: “Your Majesty, Your Majesty, wake up, wake up!” Wei Shao opened his eyes, saw that the

other party was nine feet tall, wearing a phoenix-winged helmet, stepping on the clouds, wearing gold armor, looking at the lion’s nose, looking at some familiar faces, as if he had seen it somewhere, he asked, “Who is Ru?” The

visitor received Xiangyun and said in a congratulatory voice, “I am the Golden Armor God under the shrine of the Golden Mother of the King of the West, and in the name of the Queen Mother, I have come to see Your Majesty.” Wei Shao

was stunned, looked at the other party, and finally vaguely remembered that in the main hall of the Queen Mother Shrine in Yuyang, it seemed that such a golden armor god had indeed been erected, and he said busily: “You have come just in time!” I’ve been robbed of my life and trapped in a cat’s body, and you’re going to help me get out!” When the queen returns to her original body, she will surely rebuild the golden body for the Queen Mother… No, no, build another golden temple and offer it every day…”

The Golden Armor God laughed and said, “Your Majesty, you really don’t hide it, you have this calamity, which is determined by the Queen Mother.” Wei Shao

was stunned and jumped up violently, three feet tall: “Shuo is the True Destiny Heavenly Son!” The Queen Mother Dares to Go Against Heaven, So To Me? Where can I not stand her? Jin

Jia Shen hurriedly said, “Your Majesty is angry.” Your Majesty does not know that you have indeed offended the Queen Mother before. Wei Shao

said angrily, “How did I offend her?” Her incense hall was originally built by my grandmother! She suffered from fireworks in the world day by day, did not do good things, and harmed me like this! Jinjia

said, “Your Majesty, you forgot?” Who destroyed the fresco in the main hall with the golden statue of the Queen Mother? Wei

Shao finally remembered an old thing.

At that time, the wall portrait of the Queen Mother painted by Gao Bohai attracted countless worshippers from all directions, every time people mentioned it, they always juxtaposed calligraphy and painting, when it came to Gao Bohai, it was inevitable to talk about Xiao Qiao, and there were good people who made up the words of the wind and moon that the talented and beautiful people felt sorry for each other, and later spread to Wei Shao’s ears, vinegar was full of anger, and finally couldn’t help it, a month of black wind and high night, sent people to quietly peel off Xiao Qiao’s inscription, did not want to damage the statue of the Queen Mother, Simply without doing two things, Wei Shao used the excuse of repairing the temple, and finally pulled off the entire mural wall, which completely suffocated.

It had been years since it had passed, and he had forgotten where he had long gone.

I couldn’t help but freeze.

“Your Majesty does not know that the Queen Mother is quite pleased with this mural. One day in heaven, one year on earth, she traveled all over the world, crossed the Penglai Immortal Mountain for three days, and came back to learn that the statue of the god had been destroyed by His Majesty, and the Queen Mother was angry with you, summoned the Yin Emperor of the Underground Palace, and knew that His Majesty had killed too much in his previous life, although the Mandate of Heaven was the king, there should be another disaster in this life, so she punished His Majesty severely. Wei Shao cried and mourned, and pulled the Golden Armor God away, “The

karma created by that guy in the past life has nothing to do with me!” How did it all come to me?

“He is you, you are him, how to leave the matter at stake?”

“Isn’t it okay to rebuild the golden body of the Queen Mother… You give a painful word to You, how can you solve my dilemma? “Your Majesty’s

spirit in his previous life has dissipated, and today’s predicament is liberated by himself…”

The sky is gradually brightening, and the golden body of the golden armor god is gradually disappearing.

The author has something to say: I seem to have dug a hole for myself… A bit depressed
