“Madam, this magic weapon is called the Seven-Colored Exquisite Stone. It is a wedding gift I specially prepared for you!”

Ao Yifan said.

“This, this is really too valuable!”

Deng Chanyu said: “This treasure is very extraordinary at first glance. Each gem contains endless spiritual energy from heaven and earth. It is definitely not an ordinary item!”

“Haha, although the treasure is valuable, it is nothing compared to my lady.”

Ao Yifan smiled as he put the colorful exquisite stone on Deng Chanyu’s finger and said, “Madam, you know, when I first saw this bracelet, I felt that it was a perfect match for you, so I specially found it and have been carrying it with me. It’s a pity that I never had the chance to give it to you. Today, this bracelet finally has its real owner!”

“Husband, you are so mean. It turns out that you have been planning to take advantage of me for a long time!”

Deng Chanyu said coquettishly, but her face was full of happiness.

Seeing this, Ao Yifan knew that he had completely won the heart of this girl, and then he turned over…

……

“Yao Ting, you are so brave!”

In the imperial palace in Chaoge City, Emperor Xin slammed his hand heavily on the table, causing the mountain of jade slips to fall down with a crash as if a golden mountain was being pushed.

All the jade slips here are battle reports submitted by various princes during this period.

Without exception, all the princes encountered great trouble.

And the spearhead of this trouble was directed at the North Sea Demon Court!

Originally, dealing with those rebellious princes was not a difficult task.

After all, each of them was outnumbered, and those princes had no reinforcements and their logistics were completely cut off. It could be said that it was a complete crushing defeat.

However, what no one expected was that behind these disloyal princes, there was the shadow of the North Sea Demon Court.

These demons suddenly launched an attack during the war, causing considerable losses to the princes on all sides.

Emperor Xin did want to take advantage of this opportunity to warn the eight hundred princes.

However, he did not want to see a large number of soldiers killed. After all, they were his people!

“Send a message to Grand Master Wen, ordering him to advance the battle line by a hundred miles within three days. I want to use at least ten demon kings’ heads to pay tribute to the heroic spirits of my Great Shang warriors!”

Emperor Xin said with a gloomy expression.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

The eunuch serving on the side nodded in agreement.

However, after agreeing, the eunuch did not leave in a hurry, but bowed and said: “Your Majesty, Bo Yikao, the son of Xibohou, has been waiting for an audience in the palace for many days. I wonder when Your Majesty will be free to summon him?”

“Bo Yikao, Marquis of Xibo!”

Hearing this, Emperor Xin narrowed his eyes slightly.

“I’m in a bad mood right now, so you can only blame your bad luck!”

Thinking about this, Emperor Xin said to the eunuch, “Go and ask Bo Yikao to come over now and tell him that the queen in the palace wants to hear him play the piano.”

The eunuch was slightly stunned. Although he didn’t know why Emperor Xin made such arrangements, he still went to convey the message honestly.

And a day later, a piece of news that shocked the entire Chaoge City came out from the palace.

Bo Yikao, the son of King Xibo, coveted the beauty of Daji and acted presumptuously while playing a piece of music on the zither. He was thrown into prison by the king and his life or death was unknown.

When the news came out, everyone was dumbfounded.

After all, since the king ascended the throne, his imperial power has been growing, and the ministers in the court dare not disobey him in the slightest.

How dare Bo Yikao flirt with the empress in the palace?

However, some insiders heard that Bo Yikao was just unlucky and had the bad luck of meeting the king.

Because he stepped with his left foot first when he entered the door, he was thrown into jail!

Therefore, the charge against Bo Yikao was groundless. After all, he had never even seen Daji’s face.

However, the official news in the palace was that Bo Yikao molested the queen.

For this reason, even the Duke of Xibo, who was at home, was severely reprimanded by the king through a letter.

Chapter 158 Daji’s Black Pot

2025-03-23 09:32:45 Author: The blind man without an umbrella

When Su Hu and his son heard the news that Bo Yikao was imprisoned because of Daji, they were shocked.

After all, in their impression, Su Daji is a gentle and kind girl.

They had also met Bo Yikao, the eldest son of King Xibo.

In fact, when the Su family first arrived in Chaoge City and lived in Xibohou’s mansion for a period of time, the two had met each other.

At that time, even in private, the two were just nodding acquaintances, without any overstepping of authority.

Now that Su Daji had become a royal concubine, Bo Yikao had even less reason to dare to tease Su Daji.

With this doubt, Su Hu and Su Quanzhong came to King Xibo to ask what had happened.

“Lord Xibo, your son Bo Yikao has been imprisoned. How can you still be so calm and drink tea in your house?”

Seeing Ji Chang, Su Hu couldn’t help but speak.

It was simple. Even though his own son was sent to prison, Ji Chang was not in a hurry at all.

Pouring a cup of tea for Su Hu himself, Ji Chang said, “Marquis Su, your family has killed my son!”

After hearing these words, Su Hu’s face darkened.

After all, he came here with good intentions to show concern, but the King of Xibo started to accuse him wrongly as soon as he opened his mouth. How could that be logical?

“Lord Xibo, I respect you as my elder, but you can’t slander the reputation of my Su family for nothing!”

Su Quanzhong said dissatisfiedly.

“Quanzhong!”

Although Su Hu was also very dissatisfied, he still scolded Su Quanzhong.

After all, the status of King Xibo was there, and even if he said something, it was not something a junior like him could comment on.

“Lord Xibo, what exactly happened? Why do you say that it was our Su family who killed your son Bo Yikao?”

Ji Chang showed a look of pain on his face, and then he said: “Marquis Su, do you still remember that I once said that your Su family would suffer a great disaster because of your daughter Daji?”

“Of course I remember!”

Su Hu said: “But now our Su family is still doing well, and my daughter Daji has become the king’s concubine. So it seems that, Lord Xibo, your divination skills are not always true. On the contrary, your son…”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Su Hu’s words.

However, it is no wonder that he said that. After all, Ji Chang scared him a lot at the beginning.

Now, he is even talking about his son’s affairs, saying that it was his own daughter’s fault, so it is natural for him to have a bit of temper.

Looking at Su Hu, Ji Chang narrowed his eyes and said, “Marquis Su, are you really sure that the Empress Daji in the palace is still your daughter?”

“Old man!”

Hearing Ji Chang’s words, Su Quanzhong almost jumped up, but was held down by Su Hu beside him.

Looking at Ji Chang coldly, Su Hu asked, “Hou Xibo, what do you mean by this?”

“Marquis Su, your daughter Daji has always been gentle and kind. Have you never wondered why she suddenly changed her personality and took the initiative to ask to enter the palace?”

Ji Chang said: “Besides, this time, my son is in prison, I’m afraid it has something to do with her.”

“This……”

Su Hu naturally had his suspicions long ago. However, he just couldn’t figure out why his daughter’s temperament suddenly changed.

“Marquis Su, I suspect that the woman in the palace is no longer your daughter, but some monster has taken over your daughter’s body!”

Ji Chang said in a deep voice.

“You bullshit!”

Su Quanzhong finally couldn’t bear it anymore. After all, this matter was too terrible.

You know, if Su Daji was possessed by a monster and entered the palace, once this matter was exposed, not only would Su Daji be punished, but their entire Su family would also be implicated!

“Could it be that the prophecy that Xibo Hou had predicted was fulfilled in this situation?”

Su Hu asked.

In response to Su Hu’s question, Ji Chang remained silent.

“Lord Xibo, is there any way for me to confirm whether the Empress Daji in the palace is still my daughter?”

After hesitating for a long time, Su Hu couldn’t help but ask.

“Father, do you really think that my little sister has become a monster?”

Su Quanzhong looked at his father in disbelief.

“shut up!”

Su Hu said sternly.

“Su Hou Dayi!”

At this time, Ji Chang suddenly stood up, bowed to Su Hu, and said: “Here, I have a magic mirror that I got from an immortal in my early years. Su Hou only needs to put the magic mirror in his arms and get close to the lady in the palace. If the lady is really possessed by a demon, the magic mirror will naturally react!”

As he spoke, Ji Chang took out an antique bronze mirror from his arms.

There was a trace of struggle in his eyes, but in the end, Su Hu still took the bronze mirror.

……

“My dear Prince Consort, the King seems to be using me to eliminate the ministers in the court!”

Su Daji leaned in Ao Yifan’s arms and spoke cautiously.

During this period of time, she naturally heard a lot of rumors in the palace.

Among them, the most popular rumor is that some people say that she is a witch who brings disaster to the country and the people.

Legend has it that because of her slander, Emperor Xin had dealt with a number of respected ministers.

However, Su Daji naturally knew that all this was slander against her.

After all, she hadn’t even seen the king since entering the palace.

She just stayed in this cold palace with the baby in her belly, waiting for Ao Yifan to come and see her and the baby in her belly.

“Tsk, my eldest brother-in-law is really impatient. He actually started to take action against those conservative forces so quickly!”

Ao Yifan hugged Su Daji. He naturally knew that Su Daji was innocent.

After all, the nine-tailed fox spirit’s soul has been suppressed by himself, so even if it wants to cause trouble, it has no chance.

As for those ministers in the court who had gotten into trouble recently, it was actually Emperor Xin’s doing.

In fact, this was Ao Yifan’s advice to Emperor Xin.

Since ascending the throne, Emperor Xin has always wanted to change the situation in the court. After all, those conservative forces have been opposing his new policies.

However, even if Emperor Xin was the king, he could not easily move against those conservative forces.

Ao Yifan’s suggestion was to take advantage of the situation and put all the blame on Daji.

In this way, Daji obeyed the sage’s order and became the evil queen who brought disaster to the country and the people. Emperor Xin used the name of the evil queen to eliminate those conservative forces and pave the way for future new policies.

Even if something goes wrong in the end, all the responsibility can be directly put on Daji.

At that time, Ao Yifan took Daji, who had been blamed for a huge crime, to find the Saint Nuwa.

At that time, even if others wanted to say something, they had no way to do so.

what’s going on?

Do you still want to find a saint to ask for advice?

At that time, Emperor Xin eliminated the conservative forces, Daji successfully completed the task of the Saint Nuwa, and he asked Daji to give birth to a bunch of babies for him.

It’s a win-win-win situation!
