Emperor Jin

Chapter 135 Dagger Now
In the warmth of the tea mist, Lang Yan smiled and ordered people to put the watermelon on the copper stand, and light candles underneath. Moisture rushed towards his face, and his mouth watered.

It was spring at this time, and unless it was a heaven-and-earth fortune, it would be difficult to eat fresh melons. Everyone was amazed, and then looked at the melon carefully, and it was indeed round and round with green jade, and there was nothing unusual about it. The silver knife made a cutting gesture, and the knife lightly hit the jade, making a crisp jingling sound.

"This is indeed carved from Xinyi jade. Xinyi jade is produced in Mindi. It is a big piece of emerald green. There is nothing unusual about this piece, but it is expensive because it has this strange fragrance. Once smoked, it looks like a real melon and fruit, so when I was a child Clock loves so much that he refuses to let go for a while."

Everyone imagined that the Yajiao girl was drooling and hugging Yugua, but couldn't say anything, and they all smiled, even Wang Meiren, who had always been indifferent, couldn't help laughing.

The queen swallowed the tea, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Such a desirable treasure, it's thanks to you that you hid it until now to show it to everyone. There is no wine here, so I'll make a cup of tea myself."

Langjiao also laughed, as if extremely happy, Yingying's beautiful eyes were bent into crescent moons, and a ray of light shot out faintly, looking at everyone.

She raised her glass and got up, solemnly said: "Langji is new here, I would like to offer this cup to all the sisters, I hope all the sisters can give some suggestions."

Everyone didn't dare to talk, they were about to stand up to pay their respects, but suddenly they felt that their hands and feet were numb and they couldn't move. After a little struggle, the teacup in their hands fell to the ground.

"How is this going……"

The queen tried her best to support the edge of the table, and looked at Lang Hao in disbelief.

Lang Ya's smile was still gentle and courteous, but under that perfect face, there was a terrifying scorching flame hidden, gradually spreading from his eyes.

"It's best not to act rashly..."

She stood up gracefully, and the cloud brocade palace gown was dragged on the ground long, and the brocade's dark pattern of roses was dyed by the sunlight through the window paper, shining brightly like a demon.

"The fragrance of melons and fruits just now is the Ruanjin powder just developed by Dumen. If you inhale so much, if you struggle forcibly, your muscles and bones will be soft and fragile, and your muscles and bones will inevitably be broken."

Langjiao said lightly, when everyone heard this, their faces paled, and some people screamed and passed out.

The screams of the concubines in the palace were repeated, the palace people outside had heard it, and they were about to come in to see what happened, but they saw the door of the palace was shaking, but it was locked tightly, and there was no way out for a while.

Lang Yu stepped forward, pulled out a golden hairpin from his temple, pointed the sharp end at the emperor's throat, and shouted to the queen, "You command no one to enter!"

"You... you traitor!"

The queen soon came to her senses. She suppressed her fluttering emotions, held onto the handrail tightly, and shouted in a low voice, "You can't get out... This is the Great Inner Forbidden Garden, and you have no chance of escaping!"

"Who said that I want to get out alive, this place is the center of the dragon veins, and you are with me, even if I die next time, it will be worthwhile..."

Lang Ya raised his head slightly, sarcastically speaking in a soft voice, his eyes swept towards the immobile queen, it was condescending and contemptuous.

The two men's eyes met for a moment, and the sound of knocking outside the hall became more urgent. Seeing the hairpin piercing her throat, the queen couldn't help but panicked, gritted her teeth, and finally shouted: "Everyone leave the atrium!"

She was very powerful, and after a while, all the people outside the hall dispersed.

Lang Jiao smiled slightly, and didn't make things difficult for them, put away the hairpin, moved lightly with lotus steps, and returned to his seat.

"This watermelon is refreshing and delicious, and everyone will be able to taste it in a while..."

She patted the body of the melon, and there was a dull sound inside, as if there was something hidden.

There was a dead silence in the hall. Occasionally, someone choked up, and everyone's eyes were fixed on this jade melon.

Wang Meiren was very angry and said: "Your Majesty kindly brought you back from Jiaosifang, but you are so ambitious and ungrateful!"

Langjiao was startled for a moment, but the next moment he was laughing hard.

"You are really servile and humble. When master throws a bone, you will know barking twice... Your queen brought me into the palace with ulterior motives. Now she is throwing a stone at her own foot, who can she blame?"

She glanced at Wang Meiren, then stretched out her hand, slowly fiddled with the jade melon, and pulled out a long cotton thread from between the slightly open flesh, the erratic beeswax lit up immediately, and the cotton thread was quietly smoldering , spread out a wisp of light smoke, curling up and circling.

"That is……"

The emperor who had been silent for a long time finally spoke. There was no movement in his brows. He stared at this scene and searched his mind, only feeling a little familiar.

"If I'm not mistaken, there must be a mixture of saltpeter, sulfur and aristolochia..."

He said in a deep voice, his thick black eyebrows raised slightly, and his expression became more dignified and dignified.

Lang Ya's smile couldn't help stagnating, and a haze passed between her eyebrows, she was surprised and suspicious: "How do you know?"

"Because my navy was attacked by the divine fire flying crows in the middle of the river, and suffered heavy casualties."

The emperor was calm and relaxed, and when he talked about his failure, he never showed signs of depression or embarrassment.

"The ingredients of the divine fire and flying crows are also the above three flavors - you have always been in collusion with those former rebels, and you learned the art of gunpowder from them, of course you can't get rid of these methods."

His voice was quiet and calm, and in this panic, it seemed to have the power to shock people's hearts, and everyone no longer flinched in fear.

Lang Yu gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "Even if you have cracked the manufacturing technique, distant water can't quench your thirst... When this cotton thread burns out, we will go to hell together!"

She raised her head and looked around, some concubines were swept away by her stern gaze, her heart trembled uncontrollably, Lang Yan giggled, and looked at the crowd with satisfaction, she lightly pointed her jade finger, and told them one by one in an almost cold judgment gesture with -

"Empress, you have been advocating the Southern Expedition in the court, causing my family to be ruined. Now that you die here, it is a clear day!"

"And you false emperor...!"

Her breasts heaved and her eyes were about to burst into flames, but she couldn't speak anymore.

She swept her eyes around the emperor, only to feel that there was one person missing, subconsciously, she raised her voice and asked: "Where is your gentle and loyal personal maid, why is there no one?"

The emperor leaned high on the throne, and when he heard her anxious question, he seemed to be filled with great resentment, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Do you really think... that you are doing everything perfectly?"
