Chapter 55: Baji Fall
The skinny Shisan was crawling on the ground, and when he called out "Your Majesty", his whole body was shaking so much that he almost broke.
Murong Yao stepped down from the dragon throne, took off his bright yellow gold-woven robe and put it on Shi San's trembling body: "Good boy, father is sorry for you, which concubine in the harem is your biological mother? I will definitely treat her well."
Murong Shisan looked up at him and squeezed out three words in a hoarse voice: "Mu Wan'er."
Mu Wan'er?
There are so many beauties in the harem.
Murong Yao racked his brains but could not figure out when he had favored a woman in the harem named Mu Wan'er.
Perhaps this poor child was not his offspring.
Rather, it is the child of a certain prince, or a certain prince, and Mu Wan'er.
No matter what, those who were chosen to be blood slaves are all descendants of the Murong royal family.
"Good boy, it's a rare chance for you to meet the Imperial Master. From now on, you must serve the Imperial Master well..."
"I know."
After bowing, Shi San stood up, took two steps back to Ji Lanxi's side, lowered his eyes and no longer looked at Murong Yao.
Murong Yao felt a little guilty: "Master Imperial Master, I'll ask you to take good care of this child."
"That's natural."
Ji Lanxi frowned and thought for a while: "Your Majesty, I have obtained the cultivation method of the God Realm. In the future, I will recruit disciples and lead the practitioners of Daxin Kingdom to the path of strength. Please let those blood slaves go and give them a way out."
"Okay, I promise you, I will release the blood slaves in the cellar immediately."
Murong Yao stared at Ji Lanxi with shining eyes: "Master Imperial Master, are you really going to lead us Xin people to practice?"
Ji Lanxi nodded slowly: "That's right."
General Ge was overjoyed when he heard this, and took two steps forward excitedly: "Master Imperial Master, I wonder if I can have the honor to practice with you?"
Ji Lanxi nodded: "Of course."
"What about me?"
"What about me?"
"And me, I'm almost fifty this year, is there any hope for me to enter the Nascent Soul stage?"
All the civil and military officials gathered around.
In the past nearly a hundred years, the entire Daxin Kingdom has been almost in a bottleneck period of cultivation, and there are many people whose cultivation has regressed instead of improved.
Ji Lanxi's appearance gave them hope again.
Even Murong Yao felt an unprecedented eagerness and expectation in his heart.
Murong Yao became extremely excited when he thought that in the near future, the country of Daxin would be filled with masters of the Spirit Transformation Stage and the Taixu Stage.
"Master Imperial Master, go ahead and do it. The gold and silver needed to establish a sect will be borne by the royal family."
"I am willing to donate a hundred ounces of gold and a hundred pieces of nanmu wood."
"I will donate five hundred ounces of gold."
"I am willing to donate all of my 300-mu ancestral home and 200-mu fertile land to the Imperial Master as a place to establish my own school. I only ask that the Imperial Master accept my son as his disciple..."
The ministers were very excited. Those who had money donated money, those who had land donated land, and those who had grain donated grain.
It's like a blessing after a long drought.
After waiting for a long time, I finally see hope for the Great Country.
Ji Lanxi took Shisan out of Xuanzheng Hall and, led by two palace servants, walked across the path towards the carriage.
The car curtain opened.
Ji Lanxi was about to get in the car when she suddenly saw Murong Leya sitting in the car with a smile on her face. She couldn't help but look serious: "Princess? Why are you in my car?"
"Of course I have something to tell you."
Murong Leya pointed to the empty seat beside her and said, "This is the first time I've ridden in the seven-treasure gold-chrome carriage that my father gave me. Your Excellency the Imperial Master wouldn't be so stingy as to kick me out of the carriage, would he?"
She was smiling, with hibiscus makeup on her pretty face, and she looked as delicate as a flower.
Ji Lanxi's heart was as calm as still water, and there was no ripple in her eyes.
He sat down next to Murong Leya.
"What do you want, Your Highness?"
"Hey, don't always have a stern face."
In order to give herself courage, Murong Leya drank two taels of Lihuabai before setting out to find him. At this time, her expression and tone of voice were much bolder than usual.
She took out a plate of exquisite pastries from the food box beside her.
"Ye Lanxi, try it..."
"Your Highness, from today on, I will take my mother's surname and change my name to Ji Lanxi."
"Ji Lanxi, come on, Ji Lanxi, this crabapple cake was made by me, come and try it and see if it tastes good."
As Murong Leya spoke, she picked up a piece of Begonia cake and put it to Ji Lanxi's mouth.
Ji Lanxi dodged sideways, but Murong Leya couldn't stop and threw herself into his arms.
Warm, fragrant and soft.
Anyone would be heart-pounding and distracted.
Ji Lanxi's face was solemn. She supported Murong Leya's shoulders and pushed him away: "Princess, be careful. Your valuable body is hurt here. I will not be able to explain to His Majesty."
Murong Leya's face looked a little ugly: "Ji Lanxi, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? This princess likes you."
Ji Lanxi stared at her: "There are many people who like me."
Murong Leya raised her chin, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes: "So what? I am a princess, I like you, and I want you to be my consort!"
Ji Lanxi was stunned.
It's a good thing to be liked by others.
During the more than ten years he was imprisoned, he dreamed of someone liking him.
He saw undisguised love and admiration in the eyes of Murong Yao, Guo Erdun and others.
But Murong Leya's eyes were even more passionate than theirs, so passionate that it made him uneasy.
He doesn't want to be anyone's consort.
"Your Highness may not know this, but Anu was just buried yesterday. As his master, I have to observe mourning for him for three years. Therefore, I am not worthy of your Highness's affection."
"You are in mourning for a slave?"
Such an excuse is really absurd.
Murong Leya felt greatly humiliated.
In order to maintain the princess's dignity, Murong Leya jumped off the carriage before tears fell.
Baji.
Tears blurred her vision and she accidentally fell to the ground.
Niu Chunlai asked hurriedly: "Princess, are you okay?"
"Get lost! I never want to see you again!"
Murong Leya cried out in a crying voice, stood up, holding up her skirt and ran away in a panic.
Ji Lanxi lowered the curtain and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
"Yes, Master Imperial Master."
Niu Chunlai whipped the horse whip and drove the extremely luxurious seven-treasure six-wheeled carriage towards Ye Mansion.
Shi San sat in the coachman's assistant's seat, looking around curiously, just as if Ji Lanxi had just returned alive from the mass grave that night, and everything he saw was surprising and delighted.
According to Ji Lanxi's order, Ye Qing was stripped naked and escorted by several guards from the east to the west of the city, and then from the west to the north of the city.
The accompanying eunuch held a loud speaker and read out Ye Qing's crimes against Ji Mingzhu and Ji Lanxi over and over again.
The onlookers were all supporters of Ji Lanxi.
They cursed Ye Qing loudly and threw rotten cabbage leaves and rotten eggs at him.
The entire parade lasted for nearly two hours. When it was getting dark, Ye Qing was not only covered with rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, but also a lot of dead fish and shrimps and disgusting filth.
At first he cried out that he was innocent and felt unfair for himself.
But the accompanying eunuch read out his crimes over and over again, and those dusty past events came to his mind one by one. He remembered that when he first touched Ji Mingzhu, Ji Mingzhu had resisted with death, but he slapped Ji Mingzhu so violently that he vomited blood from the corner of his mouth and fainted.
