【Chapter 43 - Negotiation】Why should people be left in the palace?

The dinner table was very quiet, so quiet that even the sound of eating and drinking soup became very obvious.

Chu Yuan wanted to speak, but he was afraid of scaring Duan Yao, so he glanced at Duan Baiyue with doubts, what did you say before you came, why did you scare people like this.

The king of the southwest sighed in his heart, how innocent. He really didn't know what was going on, but he intuitively concluded that it must be related to his own apprentice's master.

"Eat more of this." Seeing that Duan Yao had not moved his chopsticks, Chu Yuan gave him a small bowl of fish soup, and said gently, "With the seasoning sent by the Southwest Mansion before, it is very sour and spicy and delicious, there are no good southwest restaurants in this royal city, and it is rare to eat the taste of hometown." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Duan Yao hurriedly dropped her chopsticks and stood up.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"What are you afraid of, I just said that I would get together and have a casual meal." Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Sit down, if you think the food is not to your taste, let the imperial chef withdraw and make it again." ”

"Yao'er." Duan Baiyue glanced at him lightly.

Duan Yao choked up, feeling as if everything he did was wrong.

Why is it so unlucky?

I can't figure it out.

"Eat well first." Chu Yuan pulled him back into his chair, "After eating, I will take you to the Tai Hospital." ”

Duan Yao asked nervously, "What are you going to do in Tai Hospital?" ”

Duan Baiyue said coldly on the side: "Let's see if your brain is still saved." ”

Duan Yao: "......"

"Nonsense." Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh, and continued to explain to Duan Yao, "There is a pothos garden there, which is full of strange flowers and plants that I collected from all over the world for Xiao Jin, and I will go together to see if there is anything you like." ”

Is it? Duan Yao suddenly burst into tears, why is the emperor so good, much better than his brother.

Chu Yuan continued to serve him soup with vegetables and didn't speak again.

After eating three or five dishes, Duan Yao finally calmed down a little, and was finally able to stretch out her chopsticks to pick up the vegetables by herself. Duan Baiyue sat on the side, feeling as if she had regained the sense of relief she felt when she saw him use chopsticks for the first time when she was a child.

……

At the end of the meal, Chu Yuan asked Sixi to serve a pot of Pu'er tea again. Duan Baiyue asked, "When do you plan to meet those tide cliff people?" ”

"I'm not in a hurry." Chu Yuan said, "Wait a little longer, otherwise I'm afraid I'll still think how important I am." ”

Duan Yao sat on the chair next to him, holding the teacup in both hands.

My sister-in-law is the emperor.

My sister-in-law is the emperor.

My sister-in-law is the emperor.

Hey.

"What does Yao'er think of those tide cliff people?" Chu Yuan asked.

"Huh?" Duan Yao came back to his senses and unconsciously glanced at his dear brother.

"Whatever you want, just say it." Duan Baiyue nodded.

"I don't like those people very much." Duan Yao said, "Eerie, selfish and ferocious. When he first arrived at the inn, he commanded the killer of the Southwest Mansion, and after being taught a lesson by his brother, he was slightly restrained, and if he was replaced by Xiao Er, he would not be bullied to death. Also, I don't care about the little doll, and I just come to see it perfunctorily every day. ”

"It's hard to say if it's my mother, maybe it's a snatched child." Chu Yuan shook his head.

Duan Yao frowned, he hadn't thought of this before.

Duan Baiyue said: "I didn't forget to hold this child on the way to escape, if it is not my own, it means that she has some secrets." ”

"I was young before, and I didn't have much impression of the Tide Cliff people." Chu Yuan said, "It's just that I didn't think it could be so unpleasant." ”

"The reason why the Chaoya people entered the palace more than ten years ago was to be able to ask the emperor for a reward, so they naturally knew how to speak and do things." Duan Baiyue said, "Maybe I'll see you later, and these people will still make a respectful appearance." ”

"Anyway, let's see what they want to do." Chu Yuan said, "The tea is almost drunk, but you have to go to the Tai Hospital?" ”

Duan Yao was a little excited, good, good!

The Green Pothos Garden is located in the deepest part of the Taiyi Pavilion, and no one will go there on weekdays, after all, there are □□ everywhere in it, if you accidentally touch it, Doctor Ye is in Jiangnan, and you can't come to Wangcheng to save your life. There is only one guard at the door, surrounded by greenery, and the environment is very secluded.

"It's Wangtianluan." As soon as he entered the small courtyard, Duan Yao smelled a familiar aroma.

"Last time, when Xiao Jin came, I planted a piece, saying that it can surpass the undead when the flowers bloom." Chu Yuan said, "This was a big lake before, and when the Zhou clan fled in a hurry, many innocent concubines were drowned. Since then, rumors of haunting have not stopped, and even more so, they have even witnessed ghosts drifting by. ”

Duan Yao pinched his brother behind him, did he hear it, marrying into the deep palace is this kind of end, you have to think about it carefully.

Duan Baiyue planned to find an opportunity to sell him after returning to the southwest this time, and one or two pieces of silver were also money, or less.

"Go ahead, it should be full of things you like." Chu Yuan said, "Just take what you like." ”

Looking at the full medicine cabinet in the hall, Duan Yao wanted to rub his hands very much, and his heart was overjoyed.

What is a windfall from heaven?

Even if my brother is going to be sunk in the future.

That's worth it, too.

You have to run in with a cheerful pace.

"When I was in the Southwest Palace, the master was used to him, the aunt and mother-in-law were used to him, and the second and younger siblings were also used to him." Duan Baiyue said, "I never thought of him in the palace, and you are so used to him." ”

"I haven't asked yet, what did you say to Yao'er before?" Chu Yuan said, "Why did you be scared like that when you first came?" ”

Duan Baiyue said, "I didn't say anything. ”

Chu Yuan couldn't cry or laugh when he heard this, but he didn't say anything? At the very least......

"Huh?" Duan Baiyue looked at him with the corners of her mouth raised, "Why don't you teach me, what do you want to say?" ”

Chu Yuan was speechless.

Looking at the ears that were getting redder and redder, Duan Baiyue changed the topic as if nothing happened: "No one will come here at night?" ”

Chu Yuan kicked him angrily.

Duan Baiyue raised her hand to admit defeat.

In the main hall, Duan Yao was like digging up a treasure, looking here and there, wanting everything, but knowing that he couldn't want everything. After picking and picking for most of the day, he only took a small box of blue wood powder for Gu cultivation.

"All that's all?" Chu Yuan was surprised.

Duan Yao said: "Well, thank you emperor. ”

"How can such a box of small things be called thanks." Chu Yuan smiled, "Okay, if you want anything next time, just enter the palace." If there is no one in this palace, I will send someone to search for it, and I can always find it for you. ”

Duan Yao was very moved by tears in her eyes.

Southwest King is very pantothenic acid.

Dead imps.

After leaving the Tai Hospital, Duan Baiyue and Duan Yao went back to the inn first, planning to take those Chaoya people into the palace secretly. As soon as he walked to the street, Duan Yao held his head and began to run, at a fast speed.

But Duan Baiyue's speed was faster than him.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Duan Yao was lifted from his collar.

"Dare to run?" Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows.

Duan Yao was shocked and burst into tears: "When did your light skills become so good?" "Could it be that he secretly learned from Sun Moon Villa behind his back, it is also possible. After all, the Shen family is the first in the world, the young master Shen is Shen Qianfeng, and the person who marries him is the Lord of the Leaf Valley, and the elder brother of the Lord of the Leaf Valley is the emperor, and the emperor has a leg with his dear brother.

Duan Baiyue said: "What the hell is going on today!" ”

You're too embarrassed to ask me. Duan Yao complained: "Why don't you make it clear before you leave, you actually have this kind of relationship?" ”

"You already know what you're saying." Duan Baiyue knocked him on the head.

"That's what Master said, Master said that the person you like is General Shen!" Duan Yao was sad and indignant.

Duan Baiyue's five thunderbolts thundered: "Who?" ”

"General Shen!" Duan Yao stretched out his hand and pointed at it, not far in front of him was the General's Mansion, which was tall!

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Duan Baiyue: "......"

"Scared the hell out of me!" Recalling the scene at the beginning of the dinner, Duan Yao was still weak.

"Do you believe what Master said?" The king of the southwest wanted to deceive his teacher and destroy his ancestors and beat his younger brother.

"Why can't you believe it, don't you believe it too?" Duan Yao forked his waist, "Take a piece of broken iron as a treasure." "It's rusty, how embarrassed to hang it on your waist, it's a shame for the Southwest Mansion.

So the elder brother beat the younger brother.

Duan Yao resisted, but he couldn't beat it, after all, his brother had practiced the Bodhicitta Sutra, so he cried and coughed, what kind of person is this.

When I return to the southwest, I will definitely complain to all my mothers-in-law and aunts, at least for half a month!

Inside the inn, those tide cliff people were anxious, and they went back and forth in the house for more than a dozen times, and finally couldn't help but want to push the door out, but they finally heard footsteps outside.

Duan Yao was in a very bad mood, and rushed into his bedroom next door like the wind.

Duan Baiyue was in a good mood, and said to the group: "Who wants to enter the palace with me?" ”

The other party was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't we all going?" ”

"Of course not." Duan Baiyue said, "The palace is heavily guarded, and you are mediocre, so it is not easy for so many people to want to enter together. ”

"Why can't you invite Emperor Chu out?" The woman asked.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "Your Excellency has such a big breath that the current saint deliberately went out of the palace, just to see you?" ”

"In the past, when my Chaoya clan entered the palace, the emperor also treated him with courtesy, why has it become sneaky now?" The woman was dissatisfied.

"More than ten years ago, the Chaoya clan was grandiose, riding a sedan chair and riding a horse from the official road into the palace, and the emperor naturally treated each other in a bright and bright way." Duan Baiyue raised her eyebrows, "Why don't you go like this again?" At that time, the emperor will naturally open the palace door and greet you. ”

The woman was blocked back.

"Since they are all the way, why bother to divide each other. Just answer a few questions from the emperor, and then maybe they can enter the palace together openly, why stick to this time? Duan Baiyue leaned against the door and reminded, "If it drags on any longer, the sky will be bright outside." Let the emperor wait all night, and wait until Long Yan is angry, this only chance will be gone, you had better think clearly. ”

The men looked at each other and said, "We're going to discuss it privately." ”

Duan Baiyue smiled and turned around and walked out of the guest room.

Looking at Fang Cai's hesitant appearance, this group of people does not completely trust each other, and they are still so suspicious after life and death together, this tide cliff island is really dark.

After a few moments, the woman came out and said, "I will enter the palace with you." ”

The rest of the tide cliff people were behind him, although they were unwilling in their hearts, but they had nothing to do, and watched the two of them go downstairs.

The time was approaching midnight, and Chu Yuan was drinking tea in the side hall. Sixi's father-in-law came to spread the word, saying that the king of the southwest had brought people.

"Xuan." Chu Yuan put down the teacup.

"Go ahead." In the courtyard, Duan Baiyue said, "If you know something and what you want to say, it's best to think about it clearly, otherwise I'm afraid it will be self-defeating." ”

The woman glanced at him when she heard this, but she was nothing, and pushed the door into the main hall by herself.

Duan Baiyue walked around the back and landed on the roof.

"The people's daughter sees the emperor." The woman knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Let's be flat." Chu Yuan said, "The girl is really a Chaoya person?" ”

"Back to the emperor, exactly." The woman nodded.

"I also occasionally got news that Yu Shuguang Luo Wulin was chasing a group of Chaoya people everywhere, and I sent someone to see what was going on, but I never thought that I would really meet you." Chu Yuan said, "It stands to reason that the court officials and the Chaoya clan should be well water and not river water, why is this so, the girl should be able to give me an explanation." ”

"Tide Cliff Island has been destroyed." The woman said.

Chu Yuan frowned slightly: "Why?" ”

"There is a person named Xuantian on the island, who colluded with Nanyang bandits to go to the island and killed everyone, even himself." The woman said, "A few of us were lucky enough to escape." ”

Chu Yuan asked, "Why?" ”

"Since seven or eight years ago, the island has been divided into two factions, the north and the south, and Xuantian is the leader of the northern faction. The woman said, "But I didn't expect to be used, the people of the southern faction died, and the northern faction was not spared." There are more than 100 families on the island, and now only seven of us are left to escape desperately. ”

"Where are those Nanyang bandits now?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.

"It should still be on Tidecliff Island." The woman replied.

"Is there really a treasure trove of gold on the island?" Chu Yuan looked at her with interest.

The woman paused and said, "Yes, but I don't know where." ”

Chu Yuan nodded and motioned for her to continue.

"There is gold buried under Chaoya Island, which is the legacy of our ancestors." The woman said, "It's just that the descendants have been looking for it, but there is no trace of it." ”

Duan Baiyue shook his head on the roof, it sounded like the Tide Cliff Ancestor and his own master were like brothers, and they were out of tune.

"So that group of Nanyang bandits stayed on the island to continue digging for gold?" Chu Yuan was thoughtful.

"Ten of them." The woman nodded, "Xuantian should have no other reason to say that they traveled thousands of miles to the north by boat." ”

"I really didn't expect that Yu Shu would have something to do with Nanyang." Chu Yuan put down the teacup, "What do you want from that girl and her companions when they come to see me this time?" ”

"The people want to implore the emperor to recapture Chaoya Island for us." The woman said.

"Chaoya is not my great Chu people, so it doesn't make sense." Chu Yuan replied.

"Your Majesty." The woman knelt on the ground, "Now the Chaoya clan is in danger, and only the emperor can save us from fire and water." Our people can promise that as long as they regain their homeland, if they can really find the treasure one day in the future, they will pay all the tribute to Da Chu Na, and there will be absolutely no penny. ”

"The Chaoya clan is embarrassing, but Dachu and Nanyang have always had well water that does not interfere with river water, and if they cause trouble, they are afraid that the people of the South China Sea will suffer from this." Chu Yuan said, "The girl may understand that it's not that I don't help, it's that I can't help." ”

"The ambition of the South Sea bandits and wolves, I'm afraid that the purpose is not only on Chaoya Island." The woman had something to say, "The emperor may be at ease?" ”

"So what?" Chu Yuan smiled lightly, "The tide cliff is not a traffic fortress, let alone a place where soldiers must fight. There is Tianwu Island in front of it, there is Nanshuizhou in the back, and then there are the 16 rings of Baisha in the past, and there are heavy troops in each place, which is not counting the garrison of the East China Sea. If there is a real battle, whether the tide cliff exists or not, and who is on top, it will not mean anything to me and Da Chu at all. With this, the girl seems to take herself too seriously. ”

Duan Baiyue bent the corners of her mouth.

"The emperor forgives the sin, but the people don't dare." The woman said, "It's just that I'm in a hurry, so I can't hide it." ”

"I will not send troops to Chaoya, let alone meddle in the affairs of other countries." Chu Yuan said, "For the sake of the previous father's face, at most I can give you a mansion in this royal city, the girl only needs to answer me, whether you want it or not." ”

The woman opened her mouth and said, "Someone has been chasing and killing us." ”

Chu Yuan smiled: "Want to stay in the palace?" ”

Duan Baiyue: "......"

The woman said, "Yes." ”

Chu Yuan said: "It's okay." ”

Duan Baiyue frowned.

"I can promise you." Chu Yuan said, "It's just that there are many people in this palace, if you live in, I'm afraid you won't be able to move around." ”

The woman nodded: "The folk girl knows." ”

Chu Yuan said: "Then tonight will end here, tomorrow during the day, someone will go to the inn to pick up the rest of the people into the palace." ”

The woman knelt on the ground to thank her and followed Sixi to her residence.

Duan Baiyue asked, "Why do you want this group of people to stay in the palace?" ”

"Otherwise?" Chu Yuan walked slowly to the dormitory with him, "I don't know what the purpose is, if it is placed in the royal city, the people are afraid that they will not feel at ease." ”

"If I put it in the palace, I can't feel at ease." Duan Baiyue said.

Chu Yuan smiled: "It's house arrest in the palace, see if they will show their feet one day, there will be someone to guard it, and I won't run to see it twice in three days, why can't I rest assured?" ”

"Counting these days, there are also many people who have come into contact with these tide cliff people." Duan Baiyue said. "It's just that you can make the Burning Star shine, but it's still only you and Na Tu." I really don't want to mention the name.

"Yao'er can't do it either?" Chu Yuan asked.

Duan Baiyue was dissatisfied: "Don't mention that little ghost again." ”

Chu Yuan poked him: "You are not small, you dare to disobey the emperor." ”

"How dare I disobey you." Duan Baiyue shook her head, "If that's the case, then—"

"Huh?" Chu Yuan squinted at him.

Duan Baiyue was very calm: "Don't do elbows tomorrow morning, oil." ”

Chu Yuan smiled: "I don't eat meat or meat, and the king of the southwest is really difficult to serve." ”

"I'm not going to stay tonight." Duan Baiyue said.

Chu Yuan asked, "Where are you going again?" ”

Duan Baiyue replied: "Qinglou." ”

Chu Yuan paused.

Duan Baiyue smiled: "It's really Qinglou, Brother Gu went back to Wangcheng a few days ago, and today he wrote a letter saying that he had something to do with me, and he didn't have time to go to the appointment, so he said that he would go over tonight to have a look." ”

"What's the matter, do you have to say it in the middle of the night?" Chu Yuan looked at him.

Duan Baiyue: "......"

Because there is only time in the middle of the night.

"Go ahead, no one will keep you." Chu Yuan understated it and walked forward by himself.

Duan Baiyue rarely opened her mind, chased after him in a few steps and continued to walk side by side with him: "Don't go." ”

"Aren't you afraid of others waiting?" Chu Yuan aimed at him.

"I'll wait, I'm not familiar with him anyway." Duan Baiyue said very calmly.

Chu Yuan smiled and stretched out his hand to push him: "Don't make trouble, if you really have something, you can go, don't delay." ”

"It's fine." Duan Baiyue took his hand, "When I didn't say anything, I forgot it." ”

The moonlight was shining, stretching the backs of the two longer and longer.

Gu Yunchuan sat in the piano girl's room, raised his head and drank another glass of wine, listening to the little song with great interest.

Is this coming or not coming.

In the second half of the night, I was really sleepy, so I simply got up and went to the inn by myself, but I asked the secret sentry who kept watch at night and said that the king had not been there, and there was only the little prince in the room.

Hell yes. Gu Yunchuan thought that the two of them missed it on the road, so he turned around and turned back, but happened to meet someone on the street.

"Minami-senpai?"

Nan Moxie followed Tu Bujie beside him, and he was also surprised when he saw him: "What are you dangling on the street in the middle of the night?" ”

Gu Yunchuan said that he had an appointment with Duan Baiyue, but he waited and waited and saw no one, and said: "I'm afraid that the prince has already arrived at the Dyeing Moon Tower, don't miss it on the way." ”

Nanmo said, "I'll go with you to see." ”

Gu Yunchuan: "......"

The three of them turned back to the Dyeing Moon Tower together, but no one was waiting.

Nanmo suddenly smiled.

Gu Yunchuan wondered: "The seniors seem to be very reluctant to let Zai meet with the prince. ”

"It's never too late to see you during the day." Nanmo patted him on the shoulder, "You'll understand in the future." ”

Gu Yunchuan frowned: "But this matter is somewhat important. ”

"You said it too, it's just 'something important.'" Nanmo said, "What he is doing now is imminent. ”

Gu Yunchuan was skeptical.

Tu Bujie was confused.

Nanmo snorted back in a minor key.

has a long ability, maybe he really stays in the palace every night.

In this way, the day of happy events in the southwest government is not far away.

In the palace, the plum tree has been moved back and fertilized, and the nutrients are stored in order to bloom another bouquet of flowers in winter, and it may be dug up a few times in the next year.

Duan Baiyue leaned against the head of the bed, her hand gently patting his back.

Chu Yuan slept quickly and soundly, one was tired, and the other was relieved.

Looking at the brighter and brighter sky outside, Duan Baiyue sighed in her heart. It's only been lying down for a long time, and it's time to see that I'm going to go to the morning court again. Every time I see that he is in a daze in the morning and does not wake up, I am a little annoyed that he didn't take the heart to take someone away, so I don't know how happy and comfortable I should be now.

Chu Yuan asked in a daze, "What time is it?" ”

Duan Baiyue stretched out her hand to cover his eyes: "Zi Shi." ”

Chu Yuan curled the corners of his mouth: "It's troublesome again." ”

"Don't go to the court, okay?" Duan Baiyue hugged him into her arms, "Just this day, pretending to be sick, huh?" ”

Chu Yuan smiled and looked up at him: "Stupid." ”

"You're stupid." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "How can anyone be the emperor like this, he only has the family and the country in his eyes, isn't he stupid?" ”

Chu Yuan paused and didn't speak.

Duan Baiyue pulled the quilt and wrapped him again: "Sleep." ”

There was a sound of small footsteps outside, Sixi cautiously probed in, Duan Baiyue said: "Sue those dead old men, today is closed, I want to wait for tomorrow." ”

Sixi's father-in-law was stunned.

Chu Yuan smiled sullenly in his chest.

"Yes." Sixi's father-in-law hurriedly closed the door for the two of them.

Silence returned to all around, and Chu Yuan pinched his chin.

"Sleep." Duan Baiyue held his hand, "It's not time for lunch, don't get up." ”

Chu Yuan turned his back to him and swept away most of the quilt by the way.

Sixi's father-in-law rushed to the main hall in a soft sedan chair, and sighed in his heart, it seems that a quilt is prepared tonight. After all, when I looked inside, the other futon was left on the ground.

All the adults were already waiting in the side hall, chatting about waiting for the court, but they were told that the emperor's dragon body was not safe, so the court was suspended today.

Tao Rende frowned: "The emperor's body is not well?" "I didn't see it in the imperial study yesterday.

"yes." Sixi is fair, "The stomach pain is not better, and I took the medicine and rested." ”

"Thank you for the announcement." Tao Rende nodded, the rest of the adults had already dispersed, and Liu Dajiong came over to poke him: "Go eat donkey meat and burn it?" ”

Tao Rende shook his head: "I'll go to see the emperor, but don't be seriously ill." ”

"Bah, bah, our emperor is in good health, what are you talking about." Liu Dajiong said, "Occasionally, wind cold, brain fever, stomach pain, skin trauma, how big a deal it can be, it depends on what worries you, mother-in-law." ”

"You are a person who thinks about matchmaking all day long, and you dare to talk about my mother-in-law?" Tao Rende was shocked.

Liu Dajiong was dissatisfied: "What's wrong with the matchmaker, three of your five sons-in-law were all said by the old man, and they all let you hug your grandson in a year, why didn't you think about it at that time?" ”

Tao Rende: "......"

"Let's go, eat the fire, you pay the silver, I don't have any money." Liu Dajiong held his hand and arched him.

"You said that you are a second-class member of the imperial court, and you have to be invited to eat a fire." Tao Rende shook his head again and again, and the two of them didn't sit in a sedan chair, so they walked out, wondering as they walked, "Since the emperor ascended the throne, unless he is not in the palace, he will go to the morning court every day." I accidentally injured my arm in the last hunting.,The next day I still approved a day's excerpt in the imperial book.,What's wrong with this recently.,I can't see anyone at three or five o'clock.。 ”

Liu Dajiong said: "Don't talk to me, my mind is full of fire now." ”

Tao Rende: "......"

Passing by the Yuelai Inn, there was a commotion on the second floor, and people on the street looked up.

"Go away!" Duan Yao squatted in the corner and refused to turn around.

"Yao'er." Nan Moxie smiled, squeezed and squatted beside the little apprentice, "Are you really angry?" ”

"You know how to lie to me!" Duan Yao cried angrily.

Are you really crying? Nan Mo Xie regretted it, picked him up and put him on the chair, "Master is wrong, is it not possible?" You say what you want, and Master will find it for you even if he digs three feet into the ground. ”

"I don't want anything, I want a different master!" Duan Yao hiccuped.

"That's not possible, I can't bear it." Nanmo pat him on the head, "Teach you two Bodhicitta Sutras for the teacher?" ”

"I don't learn!" Duan Yao continued to choke desperately, "Who knows if it's true or not, you can use a piece of broken copper and iron as a sword to give to your brother!" ”

"That bastard said it was broken copper?" Nan Mo was so angry that his nose was crooked, but he still put on a kind smile in time and continued to coax the apprentice: "Then the master took you to visit the Qinglou?" ”

Duan Yao cried even louder.

What kind of broken master is this......
