I really don't want to be a traitor

Chapter 536 Why the Hatred
fortunately.

Qingqiu was still as calm as water, without any sign of anger.

She grew up in the Xuanyuan Tomb, guarding Daji's headless corpse. How could she not know about the affairs of her ancestors?
"You're not angry?" Jiang Ziya asked in surprise.

In his opinion, Qingqiu shouldn't have reacted so calmly.

It is reasonable that she should be very angry, or pretend to be open-minded and forgive herself, and then wait for an opportunity to take revenge.

But, calm?
Qingqiu's tranquility was consistent inside and out, which Jiang Ziya could not understand at all.

Could it be that she is the unworthy descendant of the Nine-tailed Fox Ancestor?
"If the ancestors don't hate you, how much more so do they hate me?"

Qingqiu finally told Jiang Ziya the reason, but it was beyond his expectation.

"If our ancestors had grievances, they only blamed Heaven."

"After she died, her remaining soul moved her body back to Xuanyuan Tomb and carved a message to ask the heavens."

"What's the crime of Yin Shang?"

"What's your crime, Your Majesty?"

"Why, God hates it?!"

Qingqiu paused for a moment, stared at Jiang Ziya, and asked sincerely.

"Heaven destroyed the Shang Dynasty, and my ancestor died for Emperor Xin."

"You are at most an executioner, why should I hate you?"

Jiang Ziya was stunned!

It turns out that I was obsessed with the appearance?

The Shang Dynasty was a thing of the past thousands of years ago.

He was sent by heaven to come down to the mortal world to help Zhou Dynasty destroy Shang Dynasty and establish the Great Zhou Dynasty. After the whole country ascended to heaven, he was revered by all the immortals.

For a long time, Jiang Ziya even regarded himself as the number one person under the Emperor of Heaven.

It turned out that in Qingqiu's eyes, he was just an executioner under Tianshu.

Executioner, what is there to hate? And what is there to be proud of?
But he was stubborn and refused to repent. After thousands of years, he came down to the mortal world again and wanted to cause trouble for Qingqiu, the descendant of the nine-tailed fox.

Isn't this just worrying yourself?

"You...I...we..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Jiang Ziya was speechless at first, and then burst into laughter!

He laughed at his own confusion!

I laugh even more at Qingqiu’s thoroughness!

"I was wrong." Jiang Ziya said with emotion: "Thank you for pointing me out!"

Qingqiu remained expressionless.

But, like a magic trick, she brought out another bowl of medicine.

"???"

"Why is there more!?"

"Don't you only drink one bowl a day?"

Jiang Ziya was so frightened that his face turned pale, even though his cultivation had recovered to the Nascent Soul stage.

"Drink more, and you'll get better faster." Qingqiu said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Because it tastes bad, I give you one bowl a day. Now that you're used to it, give me another bowl. My husband said that those who come from heaven are the most difficult to serve, so you should get well and send them away as soon as possible to avoid any trouble."

awkward!

Jiang Ziya always feels good about himself!
He even suspected that Fan Li tried to please him and recuperate by healing his injuries in order to curry favor with the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After all the fuss, he and the three great uncles were regarded as troublesome people by others.

burden?

burden?

Plague god?

Jiang Ziya's old face turned red, he picked up the bowl angrily and gulped down the extremely unpalatable medicine soup again!
Snapped!
He slammed the empty bowl to the ground and said through gritted teeth: "I want to see the Emperor of Jin!"

……

…………

"I want to see His Majesty!"

Xu Jie knelt outside Jinshen Jingshe with a firm attitude.

For seven consecutive days, not only did Emperor Jiajing not attend court, but he also forbade Xu Jie and Yan Song from paying their respects to him at Jinshen Jingshe as usual.

Xu Jie was very perceptive and of course he knew there must be a reason behind this.

Something big is happening!
"Hey, Lord Xu, what can I say about you?"

Lu Fang stood outside the door of the temple.

As long as he is there, Xu Jie can't even take a single step inside.

In terms of status, Xu Jie was a senior official of the first rank.

But Lu Fang was not bad either. In other dynasties, this old eunuch could be called the "Prime Minister".

In terms of strength, Xu Jie is a powerful Mahayana master.

But Lu Fang has been the top master in the inner court for many years, and is now in the Mahayana realm.

"Eunuch Lu, you..." Xu Jie was both angry and furious.

If the Prime Minister Yan Song was here, would the old eunuch dare to stop him like this?
Even if you want to stop it, at least there should be an explanation.

But when facing himself, Lu Fang just stood outside the door with a fake smile and didn't even say a word of hint.

"At least, you have to give me a definite answer!"

Xu Jie didn't kneel either.

He simply stood up, moved closer to Eunuch Lu, lowered his voice, and spoke in a slightly pleading tone.

A look of contempt flashed across the old eunuch's eyes.

Lu Fang was also a shrewd man. He knew, of course, that for many years during the Jiajing reign, the Qingliu Party secretly called eunuchs "castrated goods" and despised them from the bottom of their hearts.

Xu Jie is no exception!

In contrast, the officials of the Yan Party did not look down on the eunuchs because they themselves were not clean.

On the contrary, because of their strong financial resources, they often spend lavishly.

Even Lu Fang himself has taken advantage of Yan Song over the years.

If Yan Song asked to see the emperor here, although he would not be allowed to do so, Lu Fang would definitely have given some hints.

"Lord Xu is joking."

"I only know how to serve my master, so I don't have anything to say to you."

With just a few words, he rejected Xu Jie.

Another reason is that Lu Fang would never get close to Xu Jie.

Feng Bao, the eunuch in charge of the Prince's Palace, had close contacts with Zhang Juzheng.

Zhang Juzheng was Xu Jie's apprentice.

Feng Bao is Lu Fang's godson.

Apprentices and godsons can make friends, so why do you, Xu Jie, look down on me, Lu Fang?
"you……!"

Xu Jie's face turned pale and blue.

He finally understood that this ancestor of the inner court eunuch would really not give him face today.

"Humph!"

Xu Jie flicked his sleeves and turned to leave.

Only after watching Xu Jie walk away did the mockery in Lu Fang's eyes fade away.

The old eunuch has changed.

In the past, he did not dare to take sides between the Yan Party and the Xu Party.

Because in addition to this generation, Lu Fang also has to consider the next generation.

During the Jiajing reign, the Yan Party was powerful.

But if the prince ascends the throne, the Xu party will definitely be in charge.

Therefore, Lu Fang was always impartial, neither offending Yan Song nor Xu Jie, in order to ensure that he could stand firm in both this dynasty and the next.

But what if the Ming Dynasty has no successor emperor?

If Emperor Jiajing would rule the world forever, would Lu Fang still need to curry favor with Xu Jie?

The answer is simple: Not necessary!
The old eunuch adjusted his expression, put on a respectful, humble and simple look, half bowed, turned around and entered the Jinshen Jingshe.

"My lord, Lord Xu was here just now." Lu Fang said to the people inside through a bead curtain.

"……Um."

It took a long time for Emperor Jiajing to react.

He let out a long breath and opened his eyes, but there was still a look of fatigue and listlessness in his eyes.

"Xu Jie couldn't sit still anymore."

"He wants to know whether I will be seriously injured and die after the fierce battle with the immortal."

Judging from the tone, Emperor Jiajing was clearly angry.

Lu Fang hurriedly said, "Lord Xu was confused for a moment, Master, please don't get angry and hurt yourself. How can ordinary people know that you are the real immortal. Ever since you took the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill left by Lan Daoxing, your complexion has improved day by day!"

The old eunuch seemed to be speaking for Xu Jie, but he actually proved that Xu Jie was inquiring about the injury of Emperor Jiajing and was disloyal.

Behind the pearl curtain, Emperor Jiajing was silent for a long time before he spoke again.

"Lan Daoxing refined a total of ninety-nine and eighty-one elixirs in his last furnace of Nine Transformations Golden Pills."

"I only took seven pills, so my recovery is a little slow."

"Lv Fang, bring me all the remaining golden elixirs. I will need them during my retreat."

Lu Fang kowtowed and said yes.

Only the old eunuch knew that Emperor Jiajing was extremely suspicious.

He only took one Nine-Transformation Golden Pill every day because he was afraid that there would be problems with Lan Daoxing's last batch of golden pills.

But after taking the medicine for seven consecutive days, his injuries improved and there were no hidden dangers, so Emperor Jiajing finally let down his guard.

"Yes."

"I will go get it right away."
