Concubine is always vicious

Chapter 73

Huo Tianxiao looked at Huo Tianchen's weak state from above the main hall, and sighed slightly.

Today's disputes in the imperial court will not be settled so easily, and I don't know if he can sustain it with his current physical strength.

And after paying their respects, Li Mu and Zhao Wuji, who were sizing up Huo Tianchen in secret, also had their own thoughts, but they didn't show it on their faces at all.

At this time, Zhao Wuji took a step forward and said loudly, "Your Majesty, apart from being ordered by the Emperor to go to the Xingluo Dynasty, I also prepared some small gifts for the Emperor."

"Oh, the second prince is interested, but what kind of gift is it?" Huo Tianchen said with a light smile.

Zhao Wuji smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and soon, the civil servant who came with him came out, holding a rectangular box in his hand, the lid was tightly closed, and it was impossible to tell what was inside.

Zhao Wuji waved his hand, "Open it and show it to the emperor."

The civil servant nodded and slowly opened the box.

As soon as the box was opened, all the civil and military ministers gasped, as if seeing a monster, they took two steps back one after another, not daring to approach Zhao Wuji again.

Li Mu, who had been standing by Zhao Wuji's side all the time, pulled out the sword he was carrying with him with a "Keng", and put it on Zhao Wuji's neck.

Li Mu's status is aloof. In this hall, apart from a few guards with knives, he is the only minister who goes to court with weapons.And as soon as he showed his long sword, the bright sword light dazzled everyone's eyes.

The sharp sword glow even cut off a few strands of hair on Zhao Wuji's shoulders, making Zhao Wuji's calm face a bit moved.

"What did you send? Tell me clearly, or I will kill you?" Li Mu said coldly.

Zhao Wuji was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Don't be nervous, General, it's just a small gift."

"Small gift?" His pupils shrank for a while, and Li Mu looked at the half of his arm in the box, his face always tense.

And Huo Tianxiao looked at the half arm in the box, and suddenly laughed, "Second prince, this little gift of yours is not ordinary." Finally, he raised his head and said to Huo Tianchen, "I don't know what the emperor thinks?"

Huo Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked, "Second Prince, is this something from Bodhidharma's body?"

Zhao Wuji smiled lightly and nodded, "Your Majesty's gaze is as bright as a torch, it is the half arm of Bodhidharma's body."

As soon as this remark came out, there was an uproar in the court.

This body of Bodhidharma is said to be able to live and die. Its value is unimaginable. Ordinary people have only heard of its legends throughout their lives, but they did not expect to see it today.

The most important thing is that when Zhao Wuji gave away the half arm of Bodhidharma's body, he didn't exaggerate at all, he was very humble, as if what he gave away was worthless at all.

Seeing this legendary thing, all civil and military officials poked their heads one by one to look at it.

I saw that it was just a very ordinary arm, the only difference was that it was very dry and black, but upon closer inspection, it felt different, although it was only half of an arm, lifeless, but one could faintly feel a wave of four. The overflowing spiritual energy, the most important thing is that it is also mixed with a faint fragrance.

After getting Zhao Wuji's confirmation, Huo Tianchen's temples on both sides jumped heavily.

You know, what he needs most right now is Bodhidharma's body, but he didn't expect that whatever he wanted, he would be given whatever he wanted.

This good show is really interesting.

Thinking of this, he nodded towards Huo Tianxiao. Huo Tianxiao took a step and took the box, "The second prince has a heart."

"As long as the emperor likes it." Zhao Wuji smiled, ignoring the strange eyes of the civil and military ministers around him.

At this moment, Li Mu also felt his heart beating violently.

You must know that the efficacy of this Bodhidharma's body is superb, no matter who it is, they are all flocking to it, and are proud of getting a little bit of it.

Although he was wondering why since Emperor Beidou had given Bodhidharma's body to Da Zongba, Zhao Wuji still had half of it here.

Could it be that the body of Bodhidharma given to Da Zongba was incomplete?

Or in other words, besides this half of the arm, there might be something else on Zhao Wuji's body?

It's just that he can't ask too much at this time, but there are slight ripples in his mind.

Just like him, Huo Tianxiao was in a very restless mood at this time.

This Zhao Wuji came to the Star Luo Dynasty at such a sensitive time, which aroused all kinds of suspicions, but he did not expect that he gave such a valuable gift?
It would be a joke if he really cared about Huo Tianchen's body.

So, is it a temptation?

But what exactly is he going to test?
Huo Tianxiao thought about this question and fell into deep thought.

And the civil and military ministers, seeing this legendary thing, whispered to each other to discuss it.

The only one with a normal face was Huo Tianchen. Undoubtedly, when Huo Tianchen learned that the half arm was from Bodhidharma's body, his mood fluctuated greatly.

However, if Zhao Wuji sent this thing out, if he wanted to hold it carefully, it must be very hot. Perhaps, the gift that Zhao Wuji wanted to offer in return would be unimaginably expensive.

But he is the emperor of a country after all, and all his thoughts are well hidden in the bottom of his heart. He paused and said, "The second prince must have worked hard since he came all the way. He is resting in the palace during this time. What's the matter?" Necessary, just as ordered."

Zhao Wuji nodded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, everything is thoughtful, and there is nothing dissatisfied."

"That's good……"

As soon as Huo Tianchen's words fell, Zhao Wuji's elegant voice sounded again, "Your Majesty, if there is something I don't know, I should say no."

"What's the matter, but it's okay to say." Huo Tianchen said generously.

"It's like this. I'm not young now, and I've reached the age of marriage. It's just that I haven't found a suitable woman because of my illness since I was a child. And I heard that the Star Luo Dynasty The woman is virtuous and decent, and she is quite tempted, I wonder if the emperor can help Zhang Luo Zhang Luo." Zhao Wuji said a little embarrassed.

"This..." Huo Tianchen was slightly taken aback. He thought it was some embarrassing request, but he didn't expect it to be just this.

However, with Zhao Wuji's status, is it still worrying not to find the imperial concubine?
What's going on here?

Needless to say, Huo Tianchen couldn't see through Zhao Wuji's intentions, and even Huo Tianxiao and Li Mu couldn't see through Zhao Wuji's intentions.

Huo Tianxiao and Li Mu looked at each other, they understood each other's meaning, but they were obviously still confused about Zhao Wuji's request.

But Zhao Wuji said with a smile, "Your Majesty, is it possible that this request from a humble minister is too much? If that's the case, the emperor should just be a humble minister and say nothing."

"No, it's not too much, it's not too much." Huo Tianchen laughed and waved his hands, "How difficult is this? After three days, I will arrange a banquet for choosing a wife. When the second prince comes over, if he likes whomever he likes, he will marry her." Let me tell you, I will not disappoint you."

Zhao Wuji's eyes lit up, and he bowed to thank him, very happy.

His joyful appearance was conveyed through a pair of clear eyes, very sincere.

Seeing this scene made people feel even more unbelievable. Could it be that he came all the way to deliver Bodhidharma's body and wanted only a woman?Or is it that he has already taken a fancy to which woman, and he just took this opportunity to say it?

But what exactly Zhao Wuji meant, no one could guess for a while.

At this time, Huo Tianxiao remembered the two words Li Mu said to him standing outside the palace gate, this Zhao Wuji is indeed not simple.

His every move seems ordinary, but there is nothing wrong with it, challenging everyone's thinking inertia.

Everyone thought Bodhidharma's body was very precious and would not give it away easily, but he gave it away in a normal way.

When everyone felt that he had some deep meaning in giving away Bodhidharma's body and would definitely raise the price, he brought up another topic, just wanting to find a woman who suits him.

This requirement, compared to other conditions, is too simple, too simple, it is simply a matter of effort.

But, is Zhao Wuji really that simple?

The answer is obviously not?

So, why did he come to the Star Luo Dynasty this time?
But just when the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs thought that the matter had come to an end, Li Mu, who had been silent for a long time, stood up and said loudly, "Your Majesty, I have been stationed in the frontier all these years, and I am alone. I have long wanted to have a family." Since the emperor set up a wife selection banquet for the second prince, I don't know if I will be honored to attend."

Li Mu's request once again made people dumbfounded.

One must know that in the past two days when Li Mu returned to Yunluo City, those who went to beg for relatives and give gifts almost broke through the threshold of the general's mansion, but he actually called poor here and said that there are no women.

It's really contemptuous, contemptuous.

Just when the ministers thought that Huo Tianchen would ignore him, they didn't expect Huo Tianchen to laugh, "Since Aiqing is interested, let's join together. Speaking of which, this palace hasn't been this lively for a long time."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, I am grateful." Li Mu said with a smile.

"You don't have to thank me. Aiqing has fought on the battlefield for many years, so it's time for her to marry a wife and have children, and live a peaceful life. These are the things she should do." Huo Tianchen said as a matter of course.

But when it came to the words "An Sheng Li Ming", no one saw it. Huo Tianchen's eyes flashed a bright light, and Li Mu's eyes also collided with a spark.

The deliberations in the court, which were full of ridicule, finally dispersed with a happy ending.

However, the matter of Zhao Wuji sending Huo Tianchen Bodhidharma's body was destined to be like throwing a bomb, which aroused countless people's discussions and speculations, and a new round of verbal criticism was set off again.

In Zhao Wuji's palace, the civil servant who followed him all the way from the Beidou Dynasty frowned tightly, and said puzzledly, "Second Prince, that...that..."

"Speak directly." With a suppressed cough, Zhao Wuji took away the handkerchief, which was stained with scarlet blood, but his face was normal, without any change, as if he had long been accustomed to this scene.

The civil servant gritted his teeth, and finally asked the question that had been entangled in his heart for a long time, "Second prince, the half of the arm was specially reserved by the emperor for your treatment, but why did you give it to Emperor Xingluo like this?" gone?"

"Cure? Do you really think that half of my arm can cure my illness?" Zhao Wuji smiled lightly.

"This..." The official's words froze, not knowing what Zhao Wuji meant.

Zhao Wuji shook his head and said, "Speaking of which, the efficacy of Bodhidharma's body is only deified. No one knows what it is. I don't dare to risk myself easily."

"What does the second prince mean?" the civil servant asked after him.

"It's not interesting, it's just a favor to send out. If Huo Tianchen's life can really be cured, then he is lucky, and his strength is not dead. If it doesn't work for him, what I want is also Already got it."
