Chapter 314 Imperial Scepter

In the hall, the music is booming.

People eat, drink, dance and laugh.

The banquet was accompanied by a dance, and the atmosphere was warm and cheerful, immersing everyone in it.

Gu Qingshan filled the wine and pushed it to the young soldier.

The two have another drink.

"Your Majesty seems to be very happy recently." Gu Qing Shan said.

The soldier untied the top button of his collar and said relaxedly, "Yes, before coming to the palace, His Majesty went hunting in the mountains as usual, and caught a lot of prey."

"Since then, His Majesty's mood has been much better."

Gu Qing Shan smiled and said, "You all went?"

The soldier said uncomfortably: "In that hunt, His Majesty didn't let us follow, saying that too many people would easily startle the prey away, and it was no fun."

Gu Qingshan said: "Your Majesty never let anyone follow you when hunting?"

"Not really. It was the day before yesterday that he didn't let us follow on a whim."

"He must be very satisfied." Gu Qing Shan said.

"Yeah, come back with a smile on your face."

Gu Qingshan was lost in thought.

"Hmph, what do you mean by chatting instead of gambling with him?" A female voice sounded.

The two turned their heads to look, but it was Her Royal Highness.

The princess glared at the officer angrily, turned and ran away.

"Sorry," said the young soldier.

"It's okay." Gu Qing Shan waved his hand generously.

The young soldier hurried to chase the princess.

"Hunting alone..." Gu Qingshan murmured in a low voice.

According to Queen Varona's hint, the Emperor has become different from before.

Varona played cards with people all night for this reason, just to protect herself.

Once the emperor knew what she had seen, the emperor would definitely kill her.

The problem is hunting.

Gu Qing Shan sat alone in the corner, sipping wine.

When the ladies and ladies came to ask him to dance, he did not refuse.

Some celebrities talked to him, and he followed the words of each other and talked about some interesting things.

He was completely integrated into the banquet and into the upper class of Fuxi.

He quietly waited for the banquet to end.

late at night.

The song ended, and the banquet came to an end.

Many were so drunk they were sent to their rooms to rest.

Gu Qing Shan was arranged to rest in a room.

He stood still in the room, released his spiritual thoughts, and swept the entire palace.

Those young nobles found a small hall and continued to drink and chat.

Young officers and Princess Fuxi were also present.

They are energetic and playful.

Gu Qingshan's spiritual sense passed by, but they didn't notice anything.

The conference hall of the palace is brightly lit.

Although it was late at night, the emperor was still discussing matters with several close officials.

In the chess and card room, the poker game continues.

The queen played a card: "Five barrels."

A lady smiled and said, "Hu, card five tubes."

The queen said: "I didn't expect to lose so much today."

At this time, Gu Qingshan's voice came.

The queen pushed the card, stood up and said, "I'm a little hungry, you go and see what kind of desserts the kitchen has to your taste, pick some over here, everyone will continue to play after having a late night snack."

"Thank you, Your Highness." Several ladies stood up and saluted.

For such trivial matters, it is generally enough to instruct the maids.

But the queen asked them to choose the supper that suits their appetite, which is also a kind of caring move.

Besides, playing poker is playing poker, and there should be etiquette and rules for them to not dare to neglect in the slightest.

The three noble ladies were led by the palace maids and went down.

"You also step back, I will be quiet for a while." The Queen ordered.

The few palace maids who were waiting on the side withdrew.

The chess and card room quieted down.

Gu Qingshan's voice appeared again.

"Your Highness, please tell me the specific situation now."

Facing the air, the queen said quickly: "The day before yesterday, Your Majesty went hunting alone, and when he came back, his whole person was different."

"I can see at a glance that he is a little different, but he has no injuries, and his strength as a top powerhouse has not changed, so I don't think it's anything."

"Does he know you noticed?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I've been acting as usual and I haven't done anything out of the ordinary."

"But later, his words, deeds and ways of doing things became less and less like him, and I knew there must be something wrong with him."

"Even he's happy for me to play cards, because then I can't find out more of his secrets, and I can be at peace with him for the time being."

"It's okay for now? Do you think he will kill you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

The queen showed determination and said, "When he is fully prepared, he will definitely come to kill me."

"why."

"My pillow guy knows a lot of his secrets, and I am his only flaw."

"So you think differently?"

"Yes, I just want to keep the empire stable, he wants more."

The queen continued: "I will be a hindrance to his ambitions."

Gu Qingshan suddenly asked: "Do you know where Fuxi's crown is?"

The queen was stunned and said, "There are three crowns, which one are you talking about?"

"A gem from the universe is set in the middle."

"The crown and the emperor's scepter are all taken care of by me, of course I know."

"I want the jewel in the crown, you go and get the crown, we'll go right away."

"Can you save me?" the queen asked.

Her expression was calm: "Although I heard Anna talk about your magic, if you can't do it, don't try to save me easily."

"Otherwise, once you can't handle it, you will die too."

"You still care about my life?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"If there is no hope, I hope that I am the only one who will die."

The queen is very calm and seems to have matured long ago.

"why?"

"If you die, it will have a serious impact on Anna. She is at the most critical moment, and there must be no mistakes in her state of mind." The Queen said.

"She is the last hope of our Medici family."

"So if you're not sure, don't worry about my life or death, find a chance to leave, and tell her the truth later."

Gu Qingshan was in awe.

"As long as I want to save you, no one can stop me," he said.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and someone outside the door whispered.

"Come in."

Two palace maids came in, curtseyed and said, "The supper has been arranged, and the three ladies are waiting for you."

The queen said, "I'm suddenly not hungry anymore, let them eat, and come back to play cards after eating."

"Yes."

The two palace maids looked at each other and exited.

The queen waited for a while, stood up, and went out through the other door.

She kept walking, and finally entered a room.

"Retreat." The Queen said.

"Yes, Your Highness," said the two palace guards.

They saluted, exited cautiously, and closed the door.

The queen walked to the wall and opened a hidden compartment.

The Fuxi crown, inlaid with the blood of the sun and the moon, lay quietly in the dark compartment.

Beside the crown, there is a scepter.

The queen looked at the scepter in surprise, and there was a trace of fear in her eyes.

Emperor Fuxi's scepter, made of pure gold, has a human head carved on the head, and the human head is staring forward.

This head belongs to the founding emperor of the Fuxi Empire.

When the founding emperor died, he requested that his entire head be integrated into the scepter, wrapped in gold on the outside, and carved into a scepter to pass on to the successive emperors of the empire.

This means that although he has passed away, he still keeps an eye on his children and grandchildren to see if they are qualified as kings.

Now the pure gold scepter is still there, but the head of the founding emperor is missing.

"Do you know about this?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I don't know." The Queen said.

"Could it be that the emperor took it without telling you?" Gu Qing Shan asked.

"I've been arranging these things, and he—"

The queen controlled her emotions and took out the crown.

She tried not to look at the scepter.

It's so weird after all.

Why not take the whole scepter, but only the head of the founding emperor?
