The Red Chamber: My Stunning Confidante with a Variety of Styles
Chapter 443 What the Key Really Does
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Ji Zhong knelt in front of Zhao Qi, his face full of surprise.
As Zhao Qi's pro-army, Zhao Qi is good only if he is good.
"Ji Zhong, how long have you been following me?" Zhao Qi looked at Ji Zhong and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, I have been in Jinyiwei for twenty years." Ji Zhong replied.
Zhao Qi nodded: "In the past 20 years, have I ever treated you badly?"
Ji Zhong quickly shook his head: "Your Majesty has shown great care and love for this minister, and everything I have is bestowed by His Majesty."
"Okay. It's good if you can understand this." Zhao Qi looked at him, "I ask you, are you and Jia Jue very close?"
Ji Zhong's heart skipped a beat, and he said hastily: "Your Majesty, I am indeed close to Grandpa Jia, but it is not a personal relationship, but a business affair. I have no personal relationship with Grandpa Jia."
He knew very well that as the emperor's personal eagle dog, he could not be close to any minister.
This is his way of life.
"Oh? Is that so? Isn't your girl by Jia Jue's side?" Zhao Qi asked.
Ji Zhong said coldly: "Your Majesty, she is her, and this minister is my minister. Even if she marries in the future, she has little to do with this minister. I will never be biased because of her. "
"Very good." Zhao Qi nodded, staring at him closely, "What if I tell you to kill Jia Jue?"
Ji Zhong's heart was beating wildly, but he showed a ferocious look on his face, and shouted to Zhao Qi: "My minister obeys the order!"
After speaking, he immediately turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait!" Zhao Qi stopped him.
Ji Zhong turned to look at him.
"I didn't ask you to do it right now, so go to Jia's mansion and surround Jia's mansion secretly, waiting for my order." Zhao Qi said to him.
"Yes!" Ji Zhong bowed, hiding the horror in his eyes, then turned and left quickly.
Looking at his back, a trace of coldness flashed in Zhao Qi's eyes.
……
Kunning Palace.
Jia Jue looked at the silver needle as thin as a cow's hair in his hand, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes:
"Your Majesty, why do you have this thing in your body?"
The queen's face was blushing, and there was an indescribable strangeness in her eyes.
That bastard Jia Jue really did it, and somehow he actually took out the soul-breaking needle.
It's just that this process really made her feel mixed, ashamed and annoyed.
"Back then, I was plotted by some villains." She replied.
"That empress is really blessed and fateful, auspicious people have their own appearance."
Jia Jue was also amazed that such a needle had been stuck in his heart for more than ten years, but he did not die.
"Is this considered cured?" the queen asked.
Jia Jue nodded: "That's right, from now on, the empress can rest easy and not have to endure torture."
The queen glared at him and said angrily, "Then why don't you take your hands away?"
"Your Majesty, don't get me wrong, I'm just covering your wound for your Majesty!" Jia Jue smiled and took his hand away.
"You!" The queen was furious.
Jia Jue stood up, and cupped her hands: "Your Majesty's stubborn illness has been cured, and it will be enough to rest for a few days, and I will retire."
The queen sat up, glanced at him, and asked indifferently: "Did you see it?"
This sentence seems to have no beginning and no end, but what she meant was to ask Jia Jue if she could see that she was not the queen.
Jia Jue shook his head: "No."
The queen couldn't help but glared at him again. If he didn't know, how would he know what she was talking about.
"Don't hold me back! When did I show my feet?"
Jia Jue smiled: "Looks, demeanor. A real queen is not as beautiful as you."
Several times before, he felt that the queen was attractive, which made him almost think that his taste had changed.
The queen looked at him deeply: "Why don't you expose it?"
Jia Jue shook her head: "After all, you have a very close relationship with Zhen'er and Qingyu, and I broke their hearts."
The queen's eyes widened: "You, do you know who I am?"
"I'm afraid there is no one else who can make Zhen'er feel familiar and deliberately search for the key." Jia Jue said.
In fact, he had vaguely guessed before, but Zhen'er's words made him more affirmed his judgment.
Hongyu sighed slightly: "As expected, you know that the idea that I want you to be used by me is just a whimsical idea."
Jia Jue looked at her: "I wonder if you can explain to me what is this key? It shouldn't be as simple as opening your Red Lotus Sect's treasure house, right?"
Hongyu was silent for a while, then asked him, "Do you know the legend about Nuwa mending the sky?"
"Naturally." Jia Jue nodded.
"It is said that after Nuwa mended the sky, she ran out of mana and fell into a deep sleep. Before she fell asleep, she used the last mana to open up a world and let her apprentices manage and monitor the world." Hongyu said.
"Nuwa fell into a deep sleep?" Jia raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that the legends in this world were so different from what he knew. "The world you mentioned, isn't it just an illusion?"
"That's right, it's the illusory realm. According to legend, Nuwa's apprentice is in it." Hongyu nodded.
Jia Jue frowned slightly: "Could it be that these four luminous pearls are the keys to unlock the illusionary world?"
"Yes, they are the keys to open it. The key is the only way for outsiders to open the illusory realm."
Jia Jue looked at her: "Why did you collect these keys? Do you want to enter this illusory realm?"
"No! I never thought of entering this illusory realm." Hongyu shook her head, "I collected this key just to prevent them from entering."
"Stop them? Who are they?" Jia Jue asked hastily as his heart moved.
"Holy Gate." Hongyu said with a serious face.
"Holy Gate?" Jia Jue frowned.
"Yes, they are mysterious and unpredictable. The only thing we know is that they are all monks, Taoists, monks, or nuns."
When Jia Jue heard this, the lame Taoist and monk Laitou immediately appeared in his mind. Could they be from the Holy Gate?
"They are extremely mysterious, but they often pick talented people to join them, and they search for keys in various ways."
Jia Jue raised his eyebrows when he heard the words: "So, in order to collect these keys, you deliberately used tricks to make the prince and the late emperor turn against each other?"
"That's right, Zhao Qi had a key in his hand back then, and I secretly found out that the prince also had one, and he is a member of the Holy Gate. That's why I cooperated with Zhao Qi to get rid of him." Hongyu said.
"I see." Jia Jue understood the plan of the lame Taoist and Laitou monk at this moment.
Because the prince is a member of the holy gate, he is also considered theirs. They let themselves recognize their ancestors and return to their ancestors, saying that they have the appearance of an emperor, but in fact they want to ascend to the throne themselves, and then collect keys for them.
It's really a good plan.
"Why did you stop them?" he asked again.
"According to the word of mouth of my saintess, if the illusion of emptiness is opened, the whole world will collapse and everything will be destroyed." Hongyu frowned.
Jia Jue murmured when he heard the words. How could the opening of the illusory realm bring such a catastrophe?
At this moment, there was a burst of shouting not far away:
"There are assassins!"
Ji Zhong knelt in front of Zhao Qi, his face full of surprise.
As Zhao Qi's pro-army, Zhao Qi is good only if he is good.
"Ji Zhong, how long have you been following me?" Zhao Qi looked at Ji Zhong and asked calmly.
"Your Majesty, I have been in Jinyiwei for twenty years." Ji Zhong replied.
