Second marriage to the regent

Huo Huo now understood the old woman's intention, took out a piece of silver from his body and threw it to her, saying, "This money is enough to buy a lot of shoe soles, that's it."

The old woman caught the money and put it in her mouth, took a bite, and put it away after making sure it was genuine: "You have some conscience. But this money can only buy the soles, and the injuries on the old woman's body have to be accounted for separately!"

A passerby saw the old woman acting rogue and tried to persuade her: "This girl has already lost your money. You have to be merciful and merciful. You are already quite old. Why are you teasing this girl like this?"

"That's right, auntie! She has enough money for you to spend a long time, just forget about it!"

That ingot of silver was not only enough to buy her soles, but also enough to pay for her medical treatment and medicine. She just saw Huo Huo's generosity and wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail him.

However, she found the wrong person.

Huo Huo sneered and said to her: "I have done my best to benevolent and righteous. If you don't drink the toast, you will be fined."

The old woman wanted to say something else, but the flaming sword had been drawn out, leaving a sharp wound directly on her neck.

The old woman looked at the flames before her eyes in astonishment before sheathing her sword and leaving. The pain in her neck made her fall to the ground instantly.

"Ah! Killed!"

The street was boiling instantly, and the elder brother next to him touched his chest to calm down. Fortunately, he had just spoken for Huo Huo. If he accused her, wouldn't he end up with the same fate as the old woman?

When the officers and soldiers arrived, the only thing on the ground was the cold corpse of the old woman and the blood that had long since solidified. After asking around, they couldn't find any useful information. Even the woman's appearance was unknown.

The story of Yan Huo rashly killing people in Kyoto city spread quickly. In broad daylight, people were killed on the road. This matter soon spread to the court, and the ministers bowed their heads one after another, not knowing what to do.

"It has become more and more unsettled in recent days. It used to be that the attacks were committed at night, but now it is better. There will be danger at any time during the day. I am terrified. If this continues, I am afraid that I will completely lose the support of the people."

Originally, Li Junyi was deeply loved by the people, but they took the opportunity to force him to abdicate. What should they do?

"Do you have any countermeasures, dear sir? Or who is willing to bring these troublemakers to justice?" The emperor patrolled for a week, but no one came forward, and his chest was tight with anger.

The ministers said nothing, and the court was completely silent.

Li Junyi pursed his lips and counted the time until he went to court in his mind.

There are two vacant positions in the court, one is An Guogong who will come to court in a long time, and the other is Prime Minister Cao who has just submitted a memorial to retire and return to his hometown.

The emperor felt unhappy when he saw that his once most powerful ministers were now leaving him.

His eyes fell on Li Junyi again. He seemed to have nothing to do with him and was leisurely. Since he took back his military power, he rarely spoke in the court.

Seeing that all the ministers were greedy for life and afraid of death, the emperor became angry and left the hall directly leaving a group of people behind.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wait for me, old slave!" Feng De followed in a panic.

The emperor suddenly summoned him, and the ministers knew it well, but they were unwilling to risk their lives. Those who were willing to go through fire and water for the emperor were all angered by him.

Walking between the red walls, a branch climbed out of the wall, blocking Li Junyi's path.

The little eunuch behind him saw this and immediately said: "My lord, be careful. This branch is blocking your way. I will have it cut off soon."

Li Junyi looked up at the branches, which had begun to sprout, and said, "I thought the peach blossoms were about to bloom when I came here, but the palace was full of peach blossoms. It was really a prosperous scene."

The servant said, "Your Majesty is right. Every spring, the palace will be filled with peach blossoms of all colors. How beautiful!"

"You live in this palace, you can see such beautiful scenery every day, but it also makes people happy physically and mentally." Li Junyi suddenly felt envious of these people. "Your Majesty is joking. You and the Emperor are brothers. Don't you come to the palace to visit the Emperor and see this peach blossom every day?" The little eunuch said so sweetly that Li Junyi even laughed.

He walked around the branch and walked away: "Keep it, I want to see how well it blooms."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

When Li Junyi returned home, he saw Su Junxi studying medicine in the study. Just as he was about to step in, he was forced back by a smell in front of him.

He shook his sleeves, brushed away the smell in front of his eyes, and said, "Xi'er, what are you studying?"

Su Junxi was immersed in her own research world and glanced at Li Junyi: "Auntie, I am researching new weapons, you all just stay aside!"

Li Junyi looked at the strange woman and exited the study.

Li Yi followed closely and said: "The princess is very strange today. The chef cooked all the dishes that the princess likes to eat on weekdays. But when the princess saw it, they were all bland dishes. She couldn't get used to it, so she asked the chef to make it again. I ordered one portion. I remember that the princess doesn’t like spicy food, so it’s really strange today.”

After Li Junyi took a seat in the front hall, he asked Li Yi: "Do you remember the letter you saw in the room before?"

"I remember that I have studied the words on the letter. The general meaning is that I am you and you are me. It also means that you are in danger but I will protect you. I am stupid and can only read understand this."

After listening to Li Yi's words, Li Junyi felt that this woman became even more mysterious.

In the afternoon, Yan'er suddenly came to Li Junyi and asked: "Your Majesty, the princess drew a picture and asked the slave to give it to you. The princess asked you to analyze the things in the painting. Have you seen it before?"

Yan'er handed the painting to Li Junyi. Li Junyi looked at the strange things on the painting and shook his head: "Princess, have you seen these things?"

What was painted on the painting was an instrument, which was what they had lost back then. The reason why the man was able to use energy was because of this thing, but he had never been able to figure out how he used this instrument.

"I don't know." Yan'er really couldn't understand what Su Junxi had drawn.

Li Yi took a look and said: "I have never seen this thing before, but I have seen the gems inlaid on this huge thing on Tianshun people."

"Tianshun people?" Li Junyi was shocked. Tianshun had perished long ago. How did Su Junxi know this pattern?

Tianshun disappeared long before Li Junyi was born, so it is logically impossible for Su Junxi to know about it.

"Your Majesty, I think the princess is quite strange sometimes. Sometimes I hear the princess say something that I can't understand in the middle of the night." Yan'er's face was full of sorrow.

"What did she say?" Li Junyi also knew that this woman had an ulterior secret.

"For example, I sometimes hear the princess talking to the air at night, and then I don't seem to remember anything when I wake up the next day."

This situation has become more frequent recently, causing Yan'er and Yingshi to not dare to sleep too much at night.

But Li Junyi felt puzzled. He and Su Junxi were sleeping in the same bed, why couldn't he hear any sound?

"Everyone, go down." He wanted to have some quiet time.

In the middle of the night, Li Junyi was lying on the bed with his arms around Su Junxi. The woman had already fallen asleep. In order to verify his suspicion, Li Junyi forced himself not to fall asleep.

Sure enough, the woman in his arms suddenly trembled, and then sat upright.

He pretended to be asleep and observed the woman's every move.

"I'm so tired of sleeping in a man's arms every day. Isn't it stuffy or hot?"
