The Playful Queen: The Evil King's Favorite

Chapter 23 The Flower Thief

Time flies, and time flies by.

-Five years later-

The two trees are lush and green, and the waterfall in the mountain is gushing straight down. The water flowing down the waterfall is steaming, and there are two people on the rocks on both sides.

One is a man in a black robe with a heavy evil spirit. Look at his sword eyebrows, his dark eyes seem to have merged with all the evil spirits in the world, and his long black hair and shawls show a free and easy air. people.

Another girl practicing kung fu was dressed in a bright red brocade robe, her black hair was tied up casually, she had a face as delicate as the sky, a pair of bright and bright eyes like stars, and her red lips evoked a wicked smile.

"Evil old man, quickly teach me the moves on the ninth floor!"

The man's evil eyes loosened a little, he knocked on her forehead, and said: "No teaching! How many times have I told you to call me Master, and don't forget what I said, you can't rush for success in practicing kung fu."

"How many times have I told you, don't hit me on the head." Bei Ming raised his chin with a smile and stared at him angrily.

"Hmph, who told you that you are not old or young, anyway, I am also an elder, and I am still your master." Situ Xie retorted dissatisfied.

"It's you who begged me to be your apprentice, and it's you who used peerless martial arts to curry favor with me. Are you the master or my master?" Beiming Shaoxiao said poking at his heart.

An angry Situ Xie blew his beard and stared, "Didn't you say you don't want to talk about it?" Thinking back to the beginning, I thought this girl was very interesting, and it took a lot of effort to agree to be my apprentice. Now think about it This girl's temper is even worse than his own at the beginning, but he really likes this apprentice very much.

"Cut!" Bei Mingshao smiled and stuck out his tongue, with a rather playful look, and said contemptuously: "The leader of the demon sect has the guts to be a stalker, don't you have the guts to admit it?"

"You girl." Situ Xie let out a breath to ease his mood. Anyway, she was always angry with her.

"Evil old man, I want the ninth level of the underworld formula." Beiming Shaoxiao raised his hand and grabbed his sleeve, looking straight at him.

"You don't seem to be begging for help now." Situ Xie said very shamelessly.

Unexpectedly, Beiming Shaoxiao said directly, "I'm not looking for people."

Situ Xie's domineering face was not to mention how dark it was, his eyes widened, and he said, "Well, you stinky girl, how dare you call me a teacher?"

"I haven't finished talking yet, I'm begging the master." Bei Mingshao smiled at him and felt that he really wanted to laugh. After teasing him enough, the master agreed with him and said a good word obediently.

"It's more or less the same." Situ's evil anger finally subsided.

"Evil old man... oh no! Master, Ming Jue." Bei Ming Shao smiled cutely while the iron was hot, with a cute look on his face.

If Situ Xie hadn't been teased by her moves for five years, he would really have believed that Beiming Shaoxiao had a good time, this cunning little fox.

Situ Xie shook his head, took out a book from his sleeve and threw it to Beiming Shaoxiao, saying: "To practice the ninth level of Ming Jue, you must first practice this set of martial arts assistance. You should practice this well first."

Bei Ming took a closer look at the book with a little smile. It read the words 'Firework Palm'. He immediately showed distaste, then looked up at Situ Xie, with a suspicious and remorseful expression on his face, and said, "Old Xie You probably didn’t get the name of the book, did you? How silly!”

Situ Xie's old face has mitosis, he really can't do anything about this apprentice.

"Give it to me if you don't practice." How dare you say that the name of the palm technique you created yourself is so good?If it wasn't for the fact that she couldn't bear to practice the ninth floor, she would easily go crazy, so she wouldn't create her own set of kung fu to assist her!
Hearing this, Beiming Shaoxiao immediately put the book into his arms, and he giggled, "I'll practice, alright, master, I'll go back first."

"En." Situ Xie nodded.

Beiming shaoxiao suppressed his smile, tapped his toes, and the figure disappeared in place, but in the blink of an eye, such lightness made Situ Xie nod in satisfaction.

After Beiming Shaoxiao left, a man in red appeared from another direction, walking with his waist twisted.

Playing with this brocade handkerchief, he said with a smile: "Master, the young master's temperament is very similar to yours, right?"

"Haha..." Situ Xie laughed irrefutably, and then he seemed to think of something, and asked, "What news can I get from Dong Lie's family?"

"The slave's house has checked, and Mo Qi didn't return to Mo's house at the beginning, and now there is no news as if she disappeared out of thin air." Although Hong Sha has a serious face, she can tell the truth.

Situ Xie's deep eyes dimmed a bit, "Don't let the stinky girl know about this for now."

"The young master always thought that Mo Qi had gone back to Mo's house, if she knew that Mo Qi was not in Mo's house, she would really lose her composure." Hong Sha analyzed it.

"You continue to look for Mo Qi." After all, he is the father of the stinky girl, her brother, and even her former rival in love.

It wouldn't make sense not to look for him, and besides, this little apprentice of mine now treasures her own father, so I really can't figure out how Mo Qi, a boring gourd, can give birth to a person with such a temperament as a stinky girl.

"I obey." Hongsha bowed and nodded.

……

—Young Prince’s Mansion—

The Young Prince's Mansion is very large, occupying a quarter of the land in Lingzhou. There are 300 maids in the mansion, [-] male slaves, and [-] dead men. These people were all arranged by Bei Minglin. Of course, Ming Shaoxiao never refuses anyone who comes, and it doesn't matter anyway.

As soon as Beiming Shaoxiao arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw a carriage slowly leaving the gate of his mansion, and looked more curiously at it.

"My subordinates see the prince." The female guard at the door saw her coming, and quickly knelt down to salute.

"Excuse me." Beiming Shaoxiao quickly called out to them, and then asked, "What happened to that carriage?"

"If you go back to the prince, it's Eunuch Yang's carriage." The maid replied.

"Eunuch Yang? What is he doing here?" Beiming Shaoxiao frowned slightly, wondering in his heart, could it be something wrong with his mother?

"Eunuch Yang has been waiting in the palace for a whole morning. He came to announce the decree. If the prince left just now, do you need your subordinates to chase him back?" the maid replied.

Bei Mingshao smiled and brushed the hair around his ears, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where is the holy decree?"

The two waitresses looked at each other and said in unison: "It's in the hands of Butler Xiaozao."

"Well, keep guarding! Don't chase people." After Beiming Shaoxiao instructed, he walked in gracefully.

"Yes." The female guard agreed.

The figure of Beiming Shaoxiao walked into the main hall, and there were a bunch of people standing inside, including Xiaozao, Miaofeng, and Gong Xifacai, all of whom were Beiming Shaoxiao's confidantes.

"This subordinate has seen His Highness." They said in unison.

"Excuse me, excuse me." Bei Ming Shaoxiao waved his hands freely, then took a few steps to the main seat, and took his seat with his sleeves thrown.

"Your Highness, this is left by Eunuch Yang." Xiaozao handed the imperial decree and a letter to Beiming Shaoxiao.

Beiming Shao smiled and didn't answer, but lazily said the word "Read."

Xiaozao paused, retracted his hand, opened the imperial decree and said: "By the heavens, the empress ordered it. Every five years, the hunting of the Allied Kingdoms will be held in Xihuang, and the young king and lord will be selected to accompany him. He will go to the hunting ground on the [-]th. Hereby!"

Beiming shaoxiao twisted a piece of mung bean cake on the table and put it in his mouth, with no emotion on his expression.

Miaofeng hesitated for a while, and said: "Your Highness, I feel that His Majesty has not seen you for five years, and I want His Highness to..."

Xiaozao glanced at Miaofeng and then at Beiming Shaoxiao, and asked cautiously: "Your Highness, there is still a letter, do you need to read it?"

"Read." Bei Ming nodded with a smile, she was too lazy to go and see by herself, besides, there were no outsiders.

Xiaozao opened the letter and muttered in a voice: "Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you in five years, how is everything going?" Xiaozao paused after reading this, and looked at Beiming with a rather embarrassed smile, "Your Highness, this seems to be It was written to you by His Majesty, my subordinate..." How dare you read your family letter?
"Continue to read." Bei Ming Shao smiled and rubbed the center of his brows, giving orders.

Xiaozao raised her eyebrows, and said bravely: "Mother misses you very much, how about going to Xihuang with mother this time? Mother took Xi'er with her, and she said she missed you very much. If you really are If you don't want to come, mother will not force you, but... mother really misses you and misses my smile."

After Xiaozao finished reading, she put the letter away completely, and put the letter and imperial decree on the table together.

"Your Highness, what are your plans?" Miao Feng asked.

Beiming Shaoxiao looked gloomy, lapped the envelope on the table a few times, and gently parted his thin lips: "Gong Xi Fa Cai."

"The subordinate is here." The four spoke in unison.

Beiming Shaoxiao stood up lazily, and said, "Send someone to prepare the things, and the four of you will go to Xihuang with me."

"Your subordinates obey!" The four of them looked at each other, and retreated to prepare things.

"Your Highness, this subordinate also wants to go with you." Xiaozao said aloud.

"Housekeeper Xiaozao, the palace wants you to watch over it! Miaofeng will stay here with you to guard the house, and guard it well." Beiming patted Xiaozao's shoulder jokingly.

"Pfft..." Miaofeng laughed, it seemed that His Highness was trying to trick Xiaozao!
"Subordinate, this subordinate understands." Xiaozao nodded sullenly.

Beiming let out a sigh with a small smile, turned around and walked to the dormitory, she needs to catch up on sleep, she practiced all night last night, so she has to go to sleep well.

When Beiming Shaoxiao woke up, it was already sunset and the sun was setting.

Beiming Shaoxiao put on his clothes and prepared to go for a walk in the main hall.

From a long distance, I heard a commotion in the hall.

Beiming frowned and walked in, only to see a group of Lingzhou officials wandering anxiously.

"I pay my respects to the lord." Those officials saw Beiming Shaoxiao and immediately saluted.

"Get up! What's going on?" Beiming Shaoxiao walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

"Thank you, my lord." Everyone stood up.

Li Zhi County of Lingzhou stepped forward and said: "My lord, from a month ago to today, there have been frequent incidents of flower picking thieves in Lingzhou city. Originally, such trivial matters should not bother the lord, but the officials are really helpless. The flower pickers stretch out their hands strangely, and now more than 30 unmarried women in the city have been murdered."

"Flower picker?" Bei Mingshao smiled and his eyes lit up, like a lion in high spirits.

All the officials: "..." What kind of eyes is this, my lord?
"Ahem..." Miaofeng coughed lightly, reminding Beiming to smile less.

"Cough~ What are the characteristics of that Li Zhi County, that flower picker?" Bei Ming asked with a pretentious smile.

Li Zhixian replied: "Responding to the words of the lord, the flower-picking thief does not give birth to males and females. He only picks women and does not pick men. From this, it can be judged that the perpetrator may be a man. He committed crimes at three o'clock. I will commit crimes at Liu's house at midnight tonight." After speaking, he took out a drawing of Lingzhou, with lines marked by red lines on it.

Beiming Shaoxiao swept his eyes up, raised his eyebrows, and muttered in a serious tone: "The Big Dipper."

Linked by the red lines, the Liu family is indeed the last point of the Big Dipper, not just picking flowers, but more like practicing some kind of evil skill.

"My lord, what are the Big Dippers?" Li Zhixian asked inexplicably.

"It's okay." Beiming Shaoxiao took the picture with one hand, and handed it to Miaofeng who was beside him, "You all go back! This matter will be handled by the king, you just wait for the news, don't startle the snake without authorization."

All the officials looked at me, I saw you staring at me for a long time, then nodded: "I will obey your orders, and I will resign."

Those people left the palace one after another.

　Thank you for your support!
