The bell fell.

The palace man knelt down in black.

Lin Shu did not kneel. He was an outsider, so he didn't need to kneel, nor did Ling Fengxiao ask him to kneel.

He stood under the peach tree in the palace garden, watching Ling Fengxiao and Xiao Lingyang kneeling in the forefront.

In the solemn atmosphere, time seems to stand still. However, suddenly heard an exclamation.

More and more people from the palaces and courtiers who had kneeled on the ground raised their heads.

It was noon, and it was a fine sunny day when the sun was in the sky, but a layer of red clouds suddenly grew over the western sky.

The sky is full of red clouds, like a shining splendor, and there is faint music from the clouds.

I don't know which palace lady said "Yeah".

Among the red clouds, there was something faintly moving, in the shape of a bird. With its movement, the red clouds in the sky would also unwind. Finally, after a quarter of an hour, people could see what it was. .

A phoenix of red gold.

In the sea of ​​clouds, don't know the distance, just feel that the phoenix is ​​huge and elegant, walking leisurely in the red clouds.

Suddenly, there was a clear and long sound through the sky——

No one has heard this call, but the mysterious feeling runs through everyone's mind, and no one will suspect that this is the phoenix, the beast in ancient legends.

In the next moment, the beautiful phoenix slowly flapped its wings and took off from the western sky, and came towards this side, getting lower and closer, and the vibration of its wings dropped a meteor-like spark, slowly falling in the palace garden. The red wall, and then slowly dissipated like an illusory light.

A huge phoenix phantom slowly landed on the Chenji Hall where the emperor lived, lowered her head tamely, and then let out a long cry, then gradually disappeared.

The crowd was in an uproar.

In an uproar, I only listened to the ceremonial officials in charge of support, astrology, and calendar: "Heaven descends in a vision, and the phoenix is ​​the messenger of the heavens. This must be a metaphor!"

Some people say: "Good omen! My great summer!"

There was also a voice of worry: "This vision is happening at this... I don't know what it means."

Lin Shu didn't feel much, just thought it was a little unscientific.

He looked at Ling Fengxiao, but saw Ling Fengxiao frowned, stood up, and walked quickly into the hall.

But seeing him tall and straight, his red clothes flying while walking, and his extraordinary posture, he was somewhat similar to the phantom phoenix.

Phoenix, Phoenix.

What does it have to do with Phoenix Villa?

Lin Shu didn't have time to do more of what he thought, only knowing that Ling Fengxiao had been emotionally unstable and couldn't leave him since he had been grieving. He cast a spell, stepped on the Lingbo footwork, and floated into the hall, hiding himself on the pillars at the top of the hall.

I saw Ling Fengxiao walk quickly to the emperor's bed: "Mother Queen!"

The queen was sitting next to the first emperor's bed, her wide skirt spread out like a liuxia, and a bright red blood jade flute in her hand, looking at the movements, it seemed that she was about to put it away.

Seeing him coming, the queen looked at him with a gentle expression in her eyes, without the sadness that her husband should have when she died.

"Xiaoer."

"Mother Queen," Ling Fengxiao's expression was somewhat serious, "What do you mean by playing the phoenix flute and attracting the heaven and the earth?"

The queen's fingers slowly stroked this red jade flute, Xiao's shape is very beautiful, the lines are simple and simple, and it seems to be a legacy of ancient times.

"Xiao Shao 90%, Phoenix comes to the ceremony." She slowly read a phrase from an ancient book, her voice was soft, like a Liquan in the mountains, and said gently: "I'm still young, and your grandmother gave me Phoenix Xiao and said …The music of playing "Xiao Shao" with the phoenix flute can attract a ray of phoenix remnants between the heavens and the earth. After I played it just now, it is as my mother said. It turns out that the blood of the phoenix does have an ancient heritage, which is not false."

"My son is puzzled," Ling Fengxiao looked down: "The Phoenix bloodline is indeed different from ordinary people, but why does the queen mother need to verify it at this time?"

"When you came to the capital, do you remember what your mother said?" The queen put away the jade flute and asked.

Ling Fengxiao said: "Remember."

The queen looked at Ling Fengxiao and sighed softly: "Xiao'er, come here."

Ling Fengxiao went to the Queen's side.

The queen stretched out her hand to caress his cheeks and hair: "In a blink of an eye, you are so big."

Ling Fengxiao did not speak.

"Although I have lived in the palace for a long time, I also know that you have been the most outstanding one in the history of Phoenix Villa." The queen said.

Ling Fengxiao said: "Mother is absurd."

"For hundreds of years, the villa has had countless beautiful and outstanding daughters buried in this palace wall." The queen's eyelashes drooped slightly. "The blood of the Phoenix is ​​a peerless furnace. Because of this, the Phoenix family has been for generations. Royal plaything. The queen mother was lucky enough to have a good skin look, and only then was your father's love, and she was the only favorite for thirty years. And the new emperor came to the throne, again..."

Ling Fengxiao said: "Lingyang is not a waver, once you take your heart, you can trust it."

"Every husband is not guilty, and the bloodline of the Phoenix is ​​the beginning of the disaster. The royal family accepts the daughter of the Phoenix family as queen, concubine, and concubine. There has always been an unlimited number of people. Even Lingyang can treat Phoenix Villa well. After a hundred years, who How can you expect the new emperor?"

Ling Fengxiao looked at the queen, and said: "Phoenix Villa is a daughter of a direct daughter, tribute to the heavenly family, and the heavenly family also reported that the villa is rich in power and power, so that the villa can accept the lost orphans of the world, serve as a business for martial arts, and rely on the grace Stand tall and stay away from disputes. Erchen has always thought that although the mother's queen and the seniors of Phoenix Mountain Villa of the past are intolerable, they have no complaints."

The queen said softly: "How can there be no resentment? The Phoenix is ​​the fate of the mysterious bird, the ancient god descendant, but has been held in the hands of the emperor of the world for generations and is at the mercy of others. How can we not complain?"

"Ancient Protoss, but a misty legend, the mother does not have to be obsessed with her heart." Ling Fengxiao said lightly: "Is the mother queen's intention to abolish the royal family's rule of placing the phoenix as the queen?"

The queen nodded: "Yes."

Ling Fengxiao said: "Xiao Lingyang has a pure and good nature, I will tell him immediately."

"Xiaoer." The queen's voice was cold: "Although you have grown up in the villa for the past 20 years, you have shown yourself as a female, but because of the practice, you have not been contaminated with femininity. You are still a male. Don't you understand the nature of men?"

Ling Fengxiao said: "The child minister is unknown."

Lin Shu, who was observing secretly, thought to himself, this man is a black crow through and through, but he has always claimed to be a white crow. It turned out that he was behind his mother as well-it seems that self-hypnosis has been too successful.

In his opinion, no matter how this little phoenix advertises his whiteness, it is a lie after all. If he is good enough to go to the sky, it will be a silky chicken with white fur.

The queen smiled and shook her head, her eyes seemed sentimental: "Phoenix furnace cauldron, after using it, it will prolong life and eliminate all diseases--how many people in the world can withstand it? When I was young, I pledged to each other with your father Huangshan and believed It’s the love in his mouth. However, people’s hearts are changeable. A few years later, I realized that what he wanted in his heart is nothing more than a long life and a solid throne."

Lin Shu thought, Ling Fengxiao, a royal heir, had a complex family background. Listening to the empress's opinion, she had been in harmony with the first emperor for a long time, and she was still very resentful towards the first emperor in her heart.

As I was thinking, I heard Ling Fengxiao say: "Does the queen think Xiao Lingyang can't stand the temptation?"

The queen said: "He is still young now, and you can manage it. Twenty years later, he is in power, can you still manage it? Forty years later, his life will be exhausted, can he still be unconcerned? Even if he The whole life is good, but the next generation of emperors is unknown."

Ling Fengxiao was silent for a while.

Lin Shu knew what he understood from his slightly sad gaze when he was silent.

Just listen to his faint voice in the hall.

"Mother and queen, do you want me to be emperor after all?"

"There is a vision today, and the mother and queen have prepared evidence of the past. Xiaoer, you only need to nod your head. The Southern Xia throne is what you have in your pocket. From then on, the emperor will be my Phoenix blood. You can also be free from it."

Having said that, she looked at Ling Fengxiao with sharp eyes.

Ling Fengxiao was silent this time longer than the last time, until the queen asked softly: "Xiao'er?"

"After returning to my mother." Ling Fengxiao said quietly: "The queen gave birth to me, my mother raised me, and Phoenix Villa supported me when I grew up, and gave me financial power. This kind of grace was not rewarded. My son... Since childhood, I also admire and love my mother. , There is no disobedience to what the queen mother ordered. If... this is the queen’s wish, I will act according to the mother’s order, it’s not impossible, just--"

When the queen heard this "just", she leaned forward slightly, her eyes were gentle, looked at him intently, and asked, "Just what?"

"It's just that being the emperor and the emperor is never what I want." Ling Fengxiao slowed down and said: "What the child minister wants in his life is just to do what he should do for the villa, the mother and the father, and then Stay away from the courts, or be a free ranger, or become a hermit in the mountains, or travel the world, rivers, lakes and seas, and spend the rest of your life. The power of the world is indeed precious, but the sons and ministers are not here. For twenty years, I have never looked at the emperor Seat, the thought of coveting the artifact, but also hope...think twice about the mother."

"You are the eldest son of my court, and you should inherit the rule. How can you peek at the throne and covet the artifact?" The queen shook her head slowly: "Xiao'er, is it because you have been used to being a courtier?"

"Xiao Lingyang is not unreasonable. Phoenix Villa also has the ability to protect itself. If it is done slowly, the villa will be free from the shackles in ten years." Ling Fengxiao looked at the queen: "Does the mother still want her children to become emperors? "

Lin Shu looked into Ling Fengxiao's eyes from above, feeling as if he was sad.

He watched the queen's movements with cold eyes.

Unparalleled face, peerless elegance, but anyone who has eyes will be fascinated by the eyes and be broken.

But although he also has eyes, he cultivates the ruthless way. No matter how beautiful his skin looks, he is no more than a skin of the world, and he treats everyone the same.

He was able to abandon the gentleness of the queen and just look at her actions.

He was right. From the very beginning, the queen meant that Ling Fengxiao should be the emperor—and the royal bloodline was thin. As a result, Phoenix Villa would quietly become the Southern Xia royal family, not only freed from the original imperial family , You can also sit on the world, for generations to come.

She keeps saying that Piff is innocent, and that men's longing for power and life is hard to fill, but what she asks is not the prosperity of the Phoenix line?

For this, she must let Ling Fengxiao go to the throne, even if Ling Fengxiao said that he was not willing.

He continued to look at Ling Fengxiao's eyes towards the Queen. It was a very soft look with vague expectations and requests.

He thought, this little Phoenix is ​​twenty-three years old this year, and he is really just a fluffy little chicken.

He looked at the mother whom he had always admired, and wanted to hear some gentle messages from her. Perhaps he felt that the queen loved him enough and would not force him to do what he didn’t want to do, and would not use his life’s destiny. Make chess pieces or tools for power struggle.

However, the queen only had a gentle expression and opened her lips lightly.

She said: "Xiao'er, you need to know the general."

As if some kind of light dimmed, he lowered his eyes slightly: "I understand it."

The blood mist faintly appeared around him, lingering for a moment, and then trembled a few times, as if he was trying to suppress it.

Lin Shu sent a wisp of frost spiritual power to his side and circled him a few times.

Ling Fengxiao's frowning brows stretched slightly, and the blood mist was suppressed.

The queen stepped forward, seeming to caress his cheek: "Is the queen dazzled? What happened just now?"

At the moment when he was about to touch, Ling Fengxiao took a step back, and the queen's hand fell free.

"I have nothing to do with my son," but he heard his voice faintly, "the queen does not need to be concerned."

"It's fine if nothing happens." The queen said softly.

Afterwards, she said: "This matter needs to be thoroughly prepared, and today you and I will consider the long-term plan..."

A hint of irritation that had never appeared before appeared in Lin Shu's mind.

He wanted the queen to stop quickly.

Your son is already very annoyed and wronged. His heartbeat is still slowing down. I don't know when he will completely lose control. I want to take him back quickly.

Besides, he loves his brother so much, he may not really listen to you.

He didn't want to listen to those twists and turns in the queen's mouth, looking around in the palace, trying to interrupt them by some accident.

It doesn't matter if look at it, can see a black flat round spirit stone on the wall not far away, in a place invisible from normal viewing angle.

His pupils shrank suddenly.

He recognizes this thing!

Like the photo-taking beads, they are all small things with kinky tricks in the Shangling learning palace’s treasure hall. The photo-taking beads can record images, and this thing is called Shunfeng Ear, two in one type, it is a bug, what this ear hears , Will pass to the other ear.

Someone is monitoring this hall?

Besides...it was when the Queen and Ling Fengxiao were discussing such matters.

He immediately smashed Shunfeng Er with his spiritual power, and then released his divine mind to explore the area within a mile - Wind-Along Ear has a limited effective distance, so the person will not be very far.

Almost the next moment, he suddenly stopped searching.

In a secluded corner of the palace wall, under the flowering crabapple tree, stood a desperate Xiao Lingyang.

He held a flat round spirit stone that was almost exactly the same in his hand. The next moment, the stone fell from his weak right hand, into the shadow of the colorful trees, and the ground was red.
