Chapter 643: Breathtaking
It was not until dawn that there were even hawking pedestrians on the road, and Zhuo Mufeng came out of the house. He was refreshed, but his face looked very ugly.
There is nothing else. If the Emperor of Eastern Zhou does not choose to bow his head today, then Su Zhilan will return to Northern Qi. At that time, the deep palaces will be separated, and it will be difficult for the two to meet again.
For someone who has always been accustomed to being domineering, this is simply unbearable. However, before the separation, Zhuo Mufeng did not ask to take Su Zhilan away or something, so he was not that naive.
Not to mention whether there is any way to hide it from everyone, and if you take Su Zhilan away, just say that the consequences are not something Zhuo Mufeng can bear now, and it will even implicate everyone who has something to do with him.
So Zhuo Mufeng could only restrain himself. He watched Su Zhilan leave without any moment, making him so eager for strength and power. If he was a legendary master, if he had the power that was enough to make Northern Qi afraid, he might be able to truly have this woman.
But all this is so far away from Zhuo Mufeng.
Looking at the gray sky, the city was covered with white snow. Zhuo Mufeng took a breath of cold air and walked towards Songyayuan with a gloomy expression.
For most of the day afterwards, he had been waiting for news about the Eastern Zhou imperial city, which was uneasy.
In fact, this was the case in the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty. From the court to the market, to the world, no one could calm down and wait for the latest news, whether it was royal relatives, literati, peddler or martial artists.
Countless merchants from all over the country gathered together, discussing how to deal with the subsequent chaos if the Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty refused to compromise.
The atmosphere in the imperial city was particularly solemn. The snow had stopped, but there was no clear sky. Instead, it was covered by dark clouds, which were as thick as the end of the world.
In Yingfeng Inn, Su Zhilan sat upright in a high position, with Lu Jing and other staff members and a group of Northern Qi masters, ready to set off at any time.
Su Zhilan's beautiful fist clenched quietly, and a hint of melancholy flashed in her beautiful eyes, and was replaced by some kind of firmness.
The ministers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty walked into the imperial city with a serious expression. The scene of laughter and discussion in the past was gone. They were silent and each was entangled in their worries.
The court meeting was held as usual, and outsiders were separated by the palace walls, not knowing what was happening inside. The streets and alleys, Qinlou Chu Pavilion, and inns and restaurants were crowded with people.
It is because many people gave up their work today and went to crowded places, chatting to relieve their anxiety while waiting for the final result.
Waiting is always the hardest.
Until noon, snowflakes floated again in the sky. The court meeting ended, and all officials came out of the palace one by one. The servants and servants sent by various families to inquire about the news came up one after another, shouting at the master.
"Your Majesty is kind and righteous, and for the sake of the whole world and the people, I compromise and seek perfection. It is a great blessing that I have this wise ruler in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty."
"Your Majesty has agreed to contact the Northern Qi Dynasty for alliance. Why don't you join in the fun? Why don't you get out of here!"
"Madam asked you to come? Tell her that this is not her turn to worry about the country and country affairs."
In front of the palace gate, all officials scolded the servants at home.
Although the servants were scolded, they were not stupid. They heard the choice of the Emperor of Eastern Zhou and all breathed a sigh of relief. However, when they came into contact with the expression of their master, they did not dare to laugh, so they pretended to flee and went home to report the good news.
The news spread throughout the imperial city with the tsunami of mountains and thunder, and the depressing and suffocating atmosphere also melted with ice and snow. The praises of the Eastern Zhou emperors and the infinite indignation for the assassination of Qi Yuanhao can be heard everywhere on the streets and alleys.
A little voice that was dissatisfied with this and would rather be in chaos than give in the world, easily drowned in this tide.
This news spread out, which naturally made the entire Eastern Zhou Dynasty boil. Most people felt glad and relaxed, and they all went home happily.
Zhuo Mufeng learned about this from Qin Keqing, and immediately looked excited and all his sorrow was wiped out. Since the Emperor of Eastern Zhou gave in, Lu Jing and others would definitely stay here, and he wanted to meet the demon concubine immediately.
Qin Keqing looked at him and said strangely, "With your personality, I thought you would be disdainful."
Zhuo Mufeng's expression stopped and said seriously, "Aunt Qin's words are bad. Those who are a country cannot ignore the interests of the country and the people because of their temporary intentions. The account of Qi Yuanhao's murder this time will be settled sooner or later. But before that, we must overcome the difficulties in front of us!"
Qin Keqing smiled and said, "I didn't see that you still have such insights."
This guy is just nonsense. He was not excited because of this. When he thought of seeing the demon concubine again tonight, he didn't know where he was flying.
At night, Master Zhuo went out again, and the old man behind him shook his head, looking like he was helpless.
After coming outside the courtyard and waiting for a long time, Xiao Taoye came out with a pretty face.
When the Eastern Zhou Dynasty retreated, both sides were very happy. She was originally very happy, but when she thought of the Empress returning to the room, she immediately took her to the secret passage to come here. Just to meet this bad guy privately, Xiao Taoye was so angry that she was so angry that she felt so angry.
Thinking of the scene I saw last night, Xiao Taoye's face flushed and her eyes were blushing at Zhuo Mufeng, "You are not allowed to bully the Empress!" If she had known this guy was so slutty, she shouldn't have listened to the Empress and brought him in.
Zhuo Mufeng said in surprise, "How can I say this? Where did I bully her?"
Xiao Taoye raised his eyebrows and said angrily, "You don't admit it yet, I've seen it!"
Hearing her pointing out, and with this look of shame and anger, Zhuo Mufeng suddenly realized and said perfunctorily, "This is a matter between adults, you don't understand, little girl."
He was only twenty years old and was a few years older than Xiao Taoye. This old-fashioned tone naturally made Xiao Taoye angry.
Seeing that the other party was reluctant to give in, Zhuo Mufeng had to scare him, "Xiao Taoye, if you don't take me in, if someone finds out, that would be bad."
The world is vast, not as good as the Queen's safety and reputation. Even though Xiao Taoye was full of fire, she could only force herself to hold back when she encountered such a scoundrel. Her body shook violently, and finally stomped her feet heavily and walked back like a robot.
Zhuo Mufeng laughed in silence and hurriedly followed behind.
Needless to say, this night was naturally extremely lingering and gentle. Zhuo Mufeng and Su Zhilan had a love affair, so they didn't have to separate for the time being. They both forgot everything and offered all their enthusiasm.
Su Zhilan said that many details of negotiations and alliances took a lot of time, but because the war was tight, the Eastern Zhou and Northern Qi would deliberately speed up, but no matter what, it would take at least ten days and half a month.
This made Daguan Zhuo very happy. He hugged the demon concubine and turned around in circles, causing the demon concubine to roll her eyes.
Every night since then, Master Zhuo would come here to report on time. Of course, every time, he would be boycotted by Xiao Taoye without any concealment. Unfortunately, someone was too thick-skinned and didn't take it seriously.
During this period, an interesting thing happened.
It was probably the third day of negotiations between the two countries, Qiu Rongshang and the Eleventh Prince found Song Yayuan and asked Zhuo Mufeng to go to the palace for a banquet that night.
What a joke? Master Zhuo is now poisoned by Su Zhilan. He recites the woman's charm every day, so he has no time to make an appointment. Moreover, he is not familiar with the Eleventh Prince at all.
So this guy didn't even think about it, and just refused because he had an appointment in advance.
Qiu Rongshang was very disappointed when she heard this, her eyes became gloomy, and she couldn't help asking, "I don't know who made an appointment with Senior Brother Zhuo?"
Zhuo Mufeng smiled apologetically and said, "A friend in the imperial city."
The eleventh prince on the side saw the appearance of his lover and snorted coldly at Zhuo Mufeng, "Do you think my king's mansion would mind adding a pair of chopsticks? A gentleman has the beauty of an adult, Brother Zhuo can bring your friend with you."
Qiu Rongshang's eyes lit up when she heard this and thought to herself that this was a good idea.
But how could Zhuo Mufeng agree? If Su Zhilan is really taken away, it is estimated that the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and Northern Qi will be blown up. He didn't want to be a sinner for the ages, so he waved his hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but it really doesn't need it. I want to talk to that friend about some private matters."
After being refuted twice, the Eleventh Prince said angrily, "Zhuo Mufeng, do you look down on me? Don't think that you can be arrogant if you have the Emperor's Brother's Beihong Sword in your hand. I tell you that you have to come tonight, and you have to come if you don't come!"
When Zhuo Mufeng encountered this kind of 25, he had a headache, but his identity was here, so he really couldn't force himself. The Emperor of Eastern Zhou was unpredictable to him. If he took advantage of this matter and was punished, he would be done.
Do you want to waste one night with Su Zhilan for this guy?
Zhuo Mufeng was very resistant and angry inside, thinking about what to do, but Feng Wu and everyone came, and Le Qian was accompanied by him.
From a distance, Le Qian laughed and said, "Mu Feng, Feng Wu, everyone is here to ask you for Qin Yi."
Hearing this, the Eleventh Prince and Qiu Rongshang looked at each other. You heard that right. Feng Wu, everyone came to Zhuo Mufeng to ask for Qinyi, what do you think?
Le Qian and Feng Wu approached and found out that the Eleventh Prince was the one who greeted him.
Especially Qiu Rongshang, who has always regarded Feng Wu as an idol, and his mood of depression due to being rejected by Zhuo Mufeng has recovered a lot.
After some introduction, the Eleventh Prince and Qiu Rongshang learned that Zhuo Mufeng played an unprecedented song a few years ago, which made Le Qian and Feng Wu highly praised it.
The Eleventh Prince was very dissatisfied and said, "Zhuo Mufeng, let me play your song "Xiaoyaoyou" and listen to me."
Zhuo Mufeng smiled but said nothing, thinking that if you asked me to play, would I want to play? If I hadn't been concerned about your identity, I would have shot you out.
Le Qian escaped the siege, or maybe the old guy wanted to show it in front of Feng Wu and everyone. A song called "Farewell" was performed by him, and he scored very freely and easily.
Qiu Rongshang's beautiful eyes were rippling, and he kept staring at Zhuo Mufeng, which made the Eleventh Prince burst into jealousy, and he wished he could tear Zhuo Mufeng alive.
But at this time, even Feng Wu praised and praised Zhuo Mufeng, and said that the music of this song was unprecedented and inspiring her piano skills.
Zhuo Mufeng thought about it and said to Feng Wu, "I received the invitation from everyone from Feng Wu a few days ago, but I didn't expect that everyone would come to the door in person, which really made me panic. It's getting late, so we'll set off now, how about?"
Feng Wu was confused when he heard this, thinking that when did I invite you? However, she has always loved Qu Ruming and was worried about how to slander Zhuo Mufeng. Seeing that he had the intention of using her, she was happy to be a favor. "Since that's the case, Mr. Zhuo, please."
The two left together, and they seemed to be very harmonious, leaving only a few people behind them with shocked expressions.
Feng Wu has a very special identity, so she invited Zhuo Mufeng, and the Eleventh Prince was not able to stop him, and there was no way to force the two of them to pass through the mansion. If they were rejected, it would be embarrassing.
Le Qian murmured, "Good guy, have you gotten into Feng Wu again?" He looked amazed. The other two house owners who welcomed the Eleventh Prince, Qin Xi, Qin Keqing and others were also staring at someone's back in a daze.
Qiu Rongshang, who was on the other side, was in a very bad mood. She lowered her head and said, "Prince, let's go back." When Zhuo Mufeng and the others walked away, they also squeezed their hands and walked forward.
