Main Text Chapter 1437: Ruyi Tianfei

The Taoyuan was quiet and dense, and the air was thick enough to reach the knees. The three of them walked in front and two behind, silent for the time being, and slowly wandered around the Taoyuan.

Ying Jiuguang's mind never stopped thinking about what Lord Qing wanted to do, but he couldn't figure it out.

A pavilion appeared in front, and Lord Qing walked into it and sat down. Shangguan Qing quickly took out the star bell to send a message. Soon, two immortal ladies came quickly and put down a fruit plate made of various fairy fruits, as well as nectar and jade liquid.

After the two fairies retreated, Master Qing took a glass of wine and sipped it slowly, seemingly casually, saying, "According to the investigation, when the Heavenly Court set up a trap in the ghost market, someone leaked the secret. What happened to King Ying Tian?" look?"

Ying Jiuguang, who was standing at the bottom, immediately looked surprised, "Is there such a thing? Who is so bold!" He first said that he didn't know, and then threw the question back.

Qingzhu sniffed the fragrance in the cup and squinted at the other party from the corner of his eyes, "The operation was kept extremely confidential. There were only four people who knew about it in advance. One was me, the other was Gao Guan, Hua Yitian, and the third one was Ling's granddaughter. Zhan Ruyi, who does King Ying Tian think is most likely to leak the secret? "

Ying Jiuguang cursed in his heart, of course you are the most likely person to leak the secret. Didn't you let that girl Ruyi participate because you wanted her to leak the secret?

However, some things can only be known to everyone, but cannot be exposed, otherwise it will make everyone unable to play, so he can only pretend to be confused: "That girl Ruyi shouldn't be so bold, right?"

Qingzhu said calmly: "Whether you are that brave or not, you will know after checking."

What's the meaning? Ying Jiuguang's heart trembled, and he stared at Qingzhu's reaction. If he wanted to check that girl Ruyi, did he really want to break up with her? He chuckled dryly and said: "Your Majesty said that the pure will become clear and the turbid will become turbid. We need to check it out."

Qingzhu raised his head and drank up the fine wine in the cup. He slapped the cup on the table with a faint awe-inspiring aura. "Did you, ministers, check the arrested people and not find out? There is not a single remnant of the Six Paths," he said. Even though the net was down, not even a single shrimp from the Six Paths was caught. King Ying, do you think it’s possible? Don’t you think it’s strange?”

At this time, Ying Jiuguang was truly shocked. Finally realized the seriousness of the problem and understood that what Qingzhu was referring to was not about Zhan Ruyi leaking secrets to the Ying family, but that someone was leaking secrets to the remnants of the Six Paths, which had touched Qingzhu's bottom line!

He didn't know the specific action arrangements for the ghost market incident, but Qingzhu had made it very clear. There were only four people who knew about it beforehand. Qingzhu, Gao Guan and Hua Yitian would report to the remnants of the Six Paths. A leak? Not too possible! Although Zhan Ruyi is unlikely to leak secrets to the remnants of the Six Paths, he did leak secrets to the Ying family. This would really require Zhan Ruyi to be captured and interrogated. Can Zhan Ruyi withstand Gao Guan's interrogation? Once the confession is indeed leaked to the Ying family, who can prove that the Ying family did not collude with the remnants of the Six Paths?

When he figured this out, Ying Jiuguang almost broke into a cold sweat. A murderous intention flashed through my heart, Ruyi couldn't keep that girl any longer!

At this time, he had made up his mind that he would never let Zhan Ruyi be taken away for interrogation, and he would deal with it immediately, and quickly!

A mere successful battle is nothing compared to the future of the entire Ying family!

But he couldn't see any clues on the surface, and instead nodded in agreement: "There is indeed something fishy about this matter. But I can guarantee that Ruyi girl will never collude with the remnants of the Six Paths, and it is certainly impossible for Your Majesty. He just doesn't know Gao Guan and Will there be any problems with Hua Yitian?" He wanted to change the target first.

"I know this matter well!" Qingzhu snorted coldly, but his expression softened in an instant, "Let's discuss the matter, one by one. When it comes to your granddaughter, she has made great contributions in the operation of the ghost market. Yes, the reason why I have been holding back the reward is because of your attitude. What does King Ying Tian think I should reward my granddaughter? "

Ying Jiuguang's heart was agitated by him, the power of God was unpredictable. I don’t understand what Qingzhu wants to do. After thinking for a while, he declined politely: "Since she is serving the Heavenly Court, that is her duty. Just follow common sense and let me follow the rules. I dare not trouble Your Majesty to make the remarks in person."

"That's a bad statement. If you make a mistake, you will be punished. If you have merit, you will be rewarded. It doesn't matter who speaks." Qingzhu waved his hand, turned his head and stared at him and asked with a smile: "I saw her just now, and I admired her quite a lot. I was thinking, what should I give her as a reward? Then I had an idea and decided to make her my concubine as a reward. What does the King of Heaven think?"

"..." Ying Jiuguang opened his mouth wide. The turn of events was beyond his expectation. His old face was full of disbelief.

Don't talk about him, even Shangguan Qing on the side froze, and slowly turned back to look at Qingzhu, trying to see if he was telling the truth or joking. However, judging from his many years of experience in escorting, it doesn't look like he is joking, but he really wants to do this.

Naturally, Ying Jiuguang knew that he had heard it right, but he still couldn't help but ask, "Did your Majesty say that he wanted to accept Ruyi as his concubine?"

"What? Isn't it possible?" Master Qing frowned, "Or are you unhappy, King of Heaven?"

"No, no..." Ying Jiuguang waved his hand to deny it. Taking the opportunity, his mind began to spin rapidly, thinking about Qingzhu's intention in making this decision.

It’s not that he has never seen women before. Although his granddaughter is good-looking, she is still not stunningly beautiful. Qingzhu has never tasted any kind of stunning women. As for where the most stunning women are in the world, it is naturally the one in Qingzhu’s harem. But why does Lord Qing insist on taking that girl Ruyi as his concubine?

He quickly found the answer. He was afraid that the Qing Lord had some opinions on the Xiahou family and needed to have the daughter of the minister's family enter the palace to act as a check and balance. Especially during the battle of the Ghost Market, Xinyi Pavilion and the Qing Lord fought directly. On the surface, the Qing Lord Needless to say, I must be angry in my heart. This is about to start beating the Xiahou family!

In order to check and balance the Xiahou family, the daughter of a general minister's family entering the palace cannot check Xiahou Chengyu, because the power inside and outside the palace is not enough, and only the families of the four heavenly kings are qualified. However, what age is this? The daughters of the Four Heavenly Kings are already married, so this responsibility naturally falls on the granddaughters. More importantly, there is a layer of relationship between the Ruyi girl and the Ying family. There is also the Zhan family in the middle. If it gets bigger, the Zhan family can be used to balance it. This is probably why Qingzhu chose the Ruyi girl. reason.

He now somewhat understands the meaning of Qingzhu's previous remarks about him. He has to agree to this even if he doesn't agree. If he doesn't agree, he has been transferred separately now. Qingzhu can immediately order Zhan Ruyi to be taken down for interrogation. He had no time to do anything about the leak.

But Qingzhu left some room for himself. Accepting Ruyi as his concubine was nothing more than a way to show that he could not pursue the Ying family's leaks. Why not pursue it? At some level, the four heavenly kings have joined forces and will not easily see their own strength being weakened. The Qing Lord has to think about it, so the Qing Lord might as well take the opportunity to attack the Xiahou family and let the two groups fight against each other!

Thinking of this, Ying Jiuguang felt hot in his heart. In the eyes of the Qing Lord, the two groups might be fighting each other, but for the Ying family, he saw an opportunity. If he could take the opportunity to suppress the Xiahou family, then he would be very happy. I'm afraid the other three heavenly kings will also be happy. The underground forces have always been controlled by the Xiahou family, and the four of them have no way to get involved.

Almost in a blink of an eye, Ying Jiuguang guessed Qingzhu's thoughts, and he was very happy!

Just because he abandoned the two star kings below, the people below him are a little unstable. It can also be said that the rabbit is dead and the fox is sad. If Ruyi can become the favored concubine of the Qing Lord, the people below will definitely re-evaluate his influence in the heaven. Helping him stabilize his heart can be said to be a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!

Then he continued: "It is her blessing that your majesty can fall in love with that girl Ruyi. However, the girl's appearance is not outstanding. I am afraid that she will not be favored by your majesty after entering the palace!"

This is the time to start negotiating terms!

Qingzhu glanced at him sideways and said calmly: "Since she is the granddaughter of the Heavenly King, how can I treat her badly? I specially named her the 'Ruyi Heavenly Concubine', gave her a single phoenix chariot, and her salary in the harem ranked among the concubines. Chief, second only to the Queen of Heaven, you don’t have to bow to anyone except me and the Queen of Heaven! What do you think of the King of Heaven?”

Ying Jiuguang was overjoyed when he heard that since the establishment of the Heavenly Court, his granddaughter was the first person to be named a 'Tianfei'. 'Ruyi Tianfei' had the connotation of fulfilling one's wishes and was extremely honorable. Although the single phoenix chariot is one less than the queen's double phoenix, the phoenix chariot is of a size that only the queen can enjoy.

After all this, that girl Ruyi will become the second among women in the world. With the support of her family, it is not impossible to become the number one among women in the world in the future. With this honor as a foundation, her daughter can also be accountable. , otherwise if Ruyi girl is allowed to enter the palace and become an ordinary concubine, her daughter will probably not agree even if she is beaten to death.

Ying Jiuguang immediately bowed and said, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness on behalf of that girl Ruyi!" This was an agreement.

Shangguan Qing, the chief manager of the Tiangong Palace, secretly marveled in his heart. There were countless women in the harem who tried their best to please His Majesty but could not get something. However, some people had it at their fingertips even before they entered the palace. Looking back, there were countless women in the palace who were envious and jealous. hatred! But there's nothing that can be done about it. His family background is one of the few in the world. Now the Queen of Heaven has a rival!

Qingzhu said happily: "I'm afraid that young people have different ideas! The king might as well go back and discuss it with his family before making a decision!"

Ying Jiuguang said with a solemn expression: "What do young people know? Marriage has always been the order of parents and the words of matchmakers since ancient times. How can it be a child's play? It is naturally the elders who have the final say!"

The corner of Qingzhu's mouth curled up with a hint of teasing, "What does the King of Heaven mean...is it settled like this?"

Ying Jiuguang didn't care whether he was teasing or not about this kind of thing. He was afraid of long nights and many dreams. He nodded and promised: "I don't dare to joke in front of His Majesty. It's settled!"

"Okay!" Qingzhu stood up, took off a piece of colored jade he was wearing on his waist, and handed it to the other party, "Let this be my love token for Ruyi. She can use it to enter and exit the heavenly palace at will in the future. Under the control of the Queen of Heaven, I fulfill her name as the 'Ruyi Heavenly Concubine'!" (To be continued.)
