Chapter 314 The Deaf Musician is a Black-Hearted Lotus 24

Kyoto Imperial City.

It was the rainy season and the drizzle continued for several days.

Puddles of water have formed in the low-lying areas on the ground.

The palace servants walked quickly through the puddles.

He didn't care at all about getting the corners of his clothes wet.

"The Queen has not attended the morning court for many days. It is said that she is very ill this time. The Ninth Princess and the Third Princess have been watching over her every day but her condition has not improved."

"Hush." ​​The guard looked around and lowered his voice cautiously, "You are risking your life by discussing this matter here."

The person who had just spoken immediately shut up, and the two continued walking quickly.

He happened to run into the Ninth Princess who came to serve the emperor.

Salute quickly.

The Ninth Princess saw the two of them and looked grave: "How is the Queen now? Why aren't you serving in front of the palace?"

"Replying to Your Highness the Fifteenth, the Queen said that the room was damp and there were some mosquitoes, and she told us to get some Five Cold Incense. Your Highness the Third is waiting in the room."

The Three Princesses...

The Ninth Princess's expression changed and she hurried into the hall.

The Queen is not feeling well now and has not attended the morning court for many days.

There were already voices in the court suggesting that the empress appoint a crown princess as soon as possible.

Now, the only one in the palace who can take on this important task is her, the ninth princess.

Minister Shen also strongly recommended her to be the Crown Princess in the court.

But the Queen was reluctant to give in.

The Third Princess, whom she usually ignored, was now summoned into the palace by the Empress many times.

Thinking of this, the Ninth Princess's face twisted.

The reason she is attacking the Empress now is just because she wants her to be crowned as a Crown Princess as soon as possible.

Taking advantage of the loss of power of the Seventh Princess and Nangong Lingyao, she established her position.

But if the person the Queen wants to make the Crown Princess is not her...

The Ninth Princess' eyes darkened, as black as ink.

Then it's not her fault.

When the Ninth Princess entered, the Queen and the Third Princess had already stopped talking.

The two of them seemed to be in a harmonious atmosphere.

The third princess was helping the empress feed medicine to someone.

The Ninth Princess narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart.

It seems that the Queen has begun to be wary of her, as she never lets her take medicine.

"Mother, have you been feeling better recently? I see that the doctors in the palace are all mediocre. It has been such a long time and I haven't seen any improvement in your condition. Why don't we issue an imperial decree and ask the famous doctor Fuxiu to come and take a look?"

Naturally, the Ninth Princess was not truly concerned about the Queen's health.

But after the imperial edict is issued, people all over the world will know that the empress's health is now so poor that even the royal doctors in the palace can do nothing to help her.

If the queen dies of illness at that time, then we will just let nature take its course.

Because of the imperial edict, the ministers in the court would urge the empress more urgently to appoint a crown princess.

The Ninth Princess looked at the pale face of the Empress as she drank the bowl of what she thought was medicine.

The smile on his face was more sincere.

The Queen breathed weakly: "Okay, let's leave this matter to the Third Brother. There's no need to issue an imperial decree. We can look for it privately."

The Ninth Princess was stunned for a moment, but after she came to her senses she smiled indifferently.

"Thank you for your hard work, Third Princess. If you find the person, you can also show it to Third Princess. Then you won't have to take medicine all year round in the future."

This sentence has a sarcastic tone.

The Third Princess' expression remained unchanged, and she even smiled at the Ninth Princess.

"Thank you very much, Ninth Princess."

I really have to thank her for arranging all of this.

Originally, she was going to step up preparations for rebellion because of Lingyao's departure.

But now, thanks to the Ninth Princess' actions, she no longer has to waste time or effort.

Not to mention the Queen's trust in her increased by several degrees.

If the Ninth Princess rebels at that time, she can take her down directly.

But she is different from the Ninth Princess, a traitor who rebelled for the throne.

She captured the rebels and ascended the throne amid the cheers of the people.

He is a hero who protects the country.

The third princess couldn't help laughing out loud just thinking about it.

So much so that the look in his eyes when he looked at the Ninth Princess was much more genuine.

However, in order to arouse the Ninth Princess's hostility and sense of crisis towards her.

She had to pretend to be complacent and look at her with a fierce look.

Sure enough, the Ninth Princess's face turned cold when she saw her look, and she turned around and strode away.

The Ninth Princess returned to her bedroom.

Shen Luolan was waiting for him in the hall.

Seeing her come back, he pounced on her.

"Your Highness, Baili Liufeng actually dared to contradict me today..."

Shen Luolan looked angry and complained about Baili Liufeng in front of the Ninth Princess in an unhappy tone.

After hearing this, the Ninth Princess sent someone to call over the concubine Baili Liufeng.

Yes, Baili Liufeng was promised to the Ninth Princess as a concubine half a month ago.

The musicians were quite surprised and envious at the time.

Although the Ninth Princess was not as famous as the Fifteenth Princess among them, she was also an excellent wife.

She is one of the most famous and talented princesses in the world.

Apart from having too many servants, there are no other disadvantages.

But what’s the big deal about serving the king more often?

I really dreamed that every princess had only one servant like the fifteenth princess. That's impossible.

In her heart, the Ninth Princess actually likes Baili Liufeng more, but Shen Luolan's mother is now of great help to her in the court.

Naturally, she couldn't favor Baili Liufeng, and she had to appease Shen Luolan.

Baili Liufeng was called to the front of the palace.

She was wearing a bright pink gown with a flower printed on the forehead, which made her already beautiful face even more charming.

Baili Liufeng did not dress more conservatively just because he was serving the king, and continued to be himself.

This is what Shen Luolan can't stand about him the most.

She dresses as seductively as the prostitutes in Xianghua Pavilion every day. She is indeed an actor who is not worthy of being on stage.

The Ninth Princess simply asked Baili Liufeng two questions.

"It is wrong for you to contradict the main master today as the side master. You should admit your mistake to the main master."

Shen Luolan was not satisfied when he heard this: "Your Highness, I won't accept your mere admission of fault."

"Then what do you want?" The Ninth Princess looked at Shen Luolan.

Shen Luolan's eyebrows turned and said, "Let's punish Baili Cejun to play two songs for His Highness and me to liven up the atmosphere."

Baili Liufeng frowned slightly.

He knew that Shen Luolan would not let him go easily.

He accepted any punishment, even a beating.

But he was punished to play music in front of the Ninth Princess and Shen Luolan.

Then what has he become?

Is he really an actor who lets Shen Luolan command him?

How will the people in the palace look at him in the future? They will probably laugh at his identity as an actor for the rest of their lives.

He turned his weak gaze towards the Ninth Princess.

He rarely shows weakness, but he had to do so at this moment.

I just hope the Ninth Princess won’t agree.

The Ninth Princess looked at Baili Liufeng, thought for a moment, and nodded: "Then do as you say."

In the eyes of the Ninth Princess, this punishment was much easier than other punishments in the palace rules.

It's just playing a song. Baili Liufeng has played it many times before.

The last glimmer of hope in Baili Liufeng's eyes was shattered.

He lowered his eyes: "Then wait a moment, Your Highness. I will go get the zither."

Shen Luolan looked at the dejected expression on Baili Liufeng's face and raised his head with pride.

How can an actor without any background fight him?

As night fell, the red light of the candles burned brightly, illuminating the room.

The Ninth Princess stepped into Baili Liufeng's residence, saw Baili Liufeng looking out the window, and walked straight over to him.

Put your hands on his waist.

Baili Liufeng was startled and suddenly stepped out of the Ninth Princess's arms and stepped aside.
