Bianhe Palace.

The rain moved the Hua Palace, the black clouds pressed the beams, and there was a cry in the Ningshou Palace.

The cry was low and faint, and at first it sounded like a servant singing, and for a long time it was like a ghost crying. The guards lined up outside the hall in armor and spears, and the rain drenched the armor, and the iron was strong.

An old eunuch bowed and waited outside the hall, sneaking a peek at the temple gate from under an umbrella.

After a while, the door of the hall opened, and a guard walked out, handed the food box forward, and said coldly: "The prince is not hungry. ”

The old eunuch touched the greasy soup in his hand when he took the food box, and immediately sighed.

Prince Heng must have smashed the food again.

"The old slave is going back." The old eunuch owed a debt to the guards, and retreated into the rain with an umbrella and a lunch box.

*

Outside the Taiji Palace, Xiao Anzi listened to the old eunuch's reply, and frowned after hearing it: "I know, our family will be enlightened to the saint, you go down." ”

The old eunuch bowed his head, but retreated.

Xiao Anzi stood under the corridor and did not move, the rain hit the palace lamp of the first palm, and the candle shadow fluttered, shaking the face of the person like a walking lantern. After a long time, he stepped back, gently touched the door of the temple, and entered the temple.

The lights in the hall were brilliant, but after the dragon case, there was no such thing as today, only the great eunuch Fan Tong was on the side to "accompany the driver".

Xiao Anzi came to Fan Tong's side, lowered his voice and said, "Master, there is still trouble over there in Ningshou Palace, and it has been a hunger strike for three days." ”

When Fan Tong heard this, he looked like an old monk was in a settled state, and said lightly: "After three days of hunger strike, I still have the strength to make trouble, it can be seen that the prince is in good health, so when will I not have the strength to make trouble, when will I talk about it." ”

Xiao Anzi swallowed the words "That's the emperor" rolled in his throat, glanced outside the hall, and asked: "Seeing that it's time for dinner, Your Majesty has not returned to the palace, and the queen is still waiting for Your Majesty to eat in the Chengqian Palace." You have to pass on the word, you see...... Do you want to hide this from the queen? ”

"Hiding it from the queen?" Fan Tong raised his old eyes, "Can you hide it?" ”

When Xiao Anzi heard this, he suddenly made a bitter face, "The queen mother is like a god who is out of prison, and I am afraid that I will not have the ability to hide it from my mother." ”

"That's it." Fan Tong lowered his eyes, and there was something in his words, "We slaves can't deceive our masters, and we don't have the ability to deceive, so you can't hide your majesty's affairs, and you can't hide Ningshou Palace's affairs." ”

"Huh?" Xiao Anzi frowned, and asked in disbelief, "Master's intention is to let the apprentice tell the queen about Ningshou Palace?" But if Your Majesty knows, will he be guilty? ”

Fan Tong's old face didn't move a single fold, "Your Majesty is reluctant to offend Niangniang." ”

"Your Majesty is reluctant to offend the mother, but let's ......"

"We are slaves, and slaves can't and don't dare to deceive their masters, let alone have the ability to deceive their masters."

Xiao Anzi's eyes were stunned, and he pondered for a long time before he figured out the taste, and laughed out loud.

The laughter suddenly drilled out of the main hall, Xiao Anzi quickly covered his mouth, saluted Fan Tong, and hurriedly retreated.

*

Qianfang Palace, Chengqian Palace.

The autumn rain is raining, the sky is dark, a rushing electric crack cloud is down, the oil-paper umbrella supported on the temple steps appears, the umbrella flower is red, and the palace blanket is the same color.

There was a little eunuch kneeling on the palace carpet, and the shadow dragged for a long time, it was Xiao Anzi.

Twilight stood up from behind the phoenix case, "The Holy Lord hasn't returned to the palace yet?" Can someone be ordered to go out of the palace to investigate? ”

Bu Xihuan will go to the teahouse on Linjiang Street every three days to discuss the government with the students, rain or shine, it has been three months. No one in the court knew about this matter, and only a few attendants in the palace knew about it, and in the past three months, as soon as he left the palace, Fan Tong would "accompany" him in the Taiji Palace, claiming that the saint was reviewing the chapters and was not allowed to be disturbed.

Every time Bu Xihuan goes out of the palace, he will return before sunset, and he has never missed the hour, how can he return late today?

"Back to the queen's mother, the master didn't look anxious, and didn't order someone to go out of the palace to investigate, when the slave came, he was still 'accompanied' in the Taiji Palace."

Twilight's expression relaxed a little when she heard this. Since Fan Tong didn't move, he thought that he knew why Bu Xihuan returned late, and Bu Xihuan should be safe outside the palace, "I know, you can go." After His Majesty returns to the palace, let him come back for dinner, don't settle in the Taiji Palace. ”

"This ...... I'm just afraid ......"

"Huh?" Twilight raised her eyebrows, and saw Xiao Anzi lying on the palace carpet, her forehead touching the ground, and her shoulders stiff.

"Qi Niangniang, Niangniang doesn't know, Ningshou Palace is making trouble again."

"Ningshou Palace?"

"Exactly! In the evening, the eunuch in Ningshou Palace came to report that the prince had smashed the dinner again, and the prince had been on a hunger strike for three days. The minions didn't dare to hide it, and after His Majesty returned to the palace, he would definitely want to entertain the matter. This performance, don't say that this dinner is going to be done today, but I am afraid that Your Majesty will not even have the appetite for dinner. Xiao Anzi said as she secretly raised her eyes to look at Twilight's expression.

Twilight's expression was unexpectedly cold, "You can't die after three days of hunger strike, after the saint returns to the palace, you won't mention this matter for the time being, why don't you let him eat first?" ”

"Huh?" Xiao Anzi looked confused, and his eyes rolled for a long time.

"You go back to the Taiji Hall and guard it, there can't be chaos there. Before the palace gate is locked, if the saint has not returned to the palace, he will come again to make a statement. Twilight Qing saw Xiao Anzi's expression in her eyes, and when she saw that he still wanted to rub it, she told him to stop with a hard face.

Xiao Anzi left aggrievedly, and Cai'e saw him go away and glanced at Twilight.

Xiao Anzi's thoughts even she could see, he wanted the queen to take care of the affairs of Ningshou Palace. Although it is not his fault to play tricks with his master, he is also loyal. Since the Emperor Taishang's abuse and beating of the palace people was bumped into by the saint, the saint withdrew the people in the Ningshou Palace, and even the old people who came with him in the Hengwang Mansion did not stay. The Emperor Taishang did not suffer this hardship, and in a fit of anger, he smashed the decorations in the palace, and the guards listened to the heavens, and the saint issued an order to remove the decorations in the palace. The Emperor Taishang was angry, so he began to smash the meal, and the saint issued a decree to the imperial dining room, saying that the smashed dishes do not need to be made again in the future, as long as the meal is smashed, there is no need to send it again on the same day. That's it, the more unreasonable the Emperor is, the more the Holy Emperor punishes him tepidly. In fact, she doesn't understand, the emperor's love is as deep as the sea, why would the queen mother be the non-existence of Ningshou Palace, and the emperor and the saint will compete?

Cai'e didn't dare to ask, and hesitated for a long time before asking about the meal, "Niangniang, do you want to pass the meal?" ”

"Biography." Twilight Qing sat down, her eyes were uninterested, "Send someone to light the stove in the small kitchen, it's autumn, Your Majesty will return to the palace in the rain, and you need ginger soup to warm up." ”

"Yes, slave and maid will go."

Twilight Qing can still calm down and eat, Cai'e is surprised, when the dinner is set, Twilight Qing enters the table, only to see the nine times of the Chinese tent, the palace fire is brilliant, the woman sits alone behind the Hua Ji, the green skirt is covered on the palace carpet, if the Tianhe covers the magnificent rivers and mountains.

The corridor outside the hall, the raindrops become a curtain, under the eaves, the silk lanterns are lit, the square inch of the imperial court is like a fairyland, but the twilight is not moved by the beautiful scenery, just silently eat, a chopstick, chew slowly.

After dinner, Twilight used half a cup of tea, and then went to the stove room next to the West Side Hall, and after boiling the ginger soup, he asked, "What time is it?" ”

Cai'e hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, the palace gate is locked, Xiao Anzi hasn't come back yet, the slave and maid take a look." ”

Twilight agreed, and Cai'e held up an umbrella and walked out of the Qianfang Palace.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cai'e left the palace gate, she bumped into Xiao Anzi head-on.

Xiao Anzi didn't even hold an umbrella, his palace robe was soaked by the heavy rain, and when he bumped into Cai'e, he hurriedly said: "Hurry up!" Hurry up and invite the queen to the Tai Chi Palace! His Majesty was assassinated and wounded by a sword! ”

……

When Twilight arrived at the Tai Chi Hall in a chariot, the hall was filled with a choking smell of medicine and blood. Chen Youliang, the left minister, Fu Minsheng, the criminal Cao Shangshu, Han Qichu, the new soldier, Lu Sheng, the assassin of Bianzhou, and Li Jin, the commander of the Biandu Patrol Division, knelt in the hall, and several imperial doctors guarded in front of the emperor, all of them looked anxious and sweated on their foreheads.

Seeing Twilight, the ministers were like seeing a savior, and an old imperial doctor said: "Niangniang is here!" His Majesty was wounded by a sword, and the wound was quite deep, and the ministers applied heavy medicine and needles, although the effect of stopping bleeding was satisfactory. ”

"Just you talk a lot." Bu Xihuan was wearing a dragon robe, his right shoulder was wrapped in a white cloth, and blood was oozing, as bright as a robe. He glanced at the old imperial doctor lightly, and when he looked at Twilight Qing, he already burst into laughter, "Don't listen to them, the sword is just a wound, it doesn't hurt the muscles and bones, just take a few days." ”

Twilight Qing saw that Bu Xihuan's lips were pale, but her spirit was acceptable, and she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but ignored him, and only asked the imperial doctor, "Is the wound more than half an inch deep?" ”

"How do you know?" The Imperial Physician looked surprised.

"It's not so deep, and it won't be hard to stop the bleeding." Twilight walked to Bu Xihuan's side in a few steps, and started to untie the bandage on his shoulder.

The imperial doctor exclaimed: "Niangniang must not remove the bandage!" The wound has just been medicated, and once the bandage is lost, the blood is only afraid of ......"

"The dressing is too conservative, the wound is quite deep, and the injury is on the right shoulder, and the slightest movement will lead to the bleeding of the wound, don't you have to stay in front of the emperor day and night, and change the dressing often? If you change the dressing and bandage too many times, it is easy to increase the risk of infection, and this risk cannot be taken! I'll look at the wound first to see if I can stitch it up. After Dusk Qing's words were finished, the bandage was also removed, and I saw that the white medicine had been pasted with blood on the wound, and the blood was dark red, and I couldn't see the wound clearly at all, "Bring a basin of water!" ”

The palace people obeyed their fate, and soon came back with a basin of warm water, and Dusk Qing took a wet cloth to slowly melt the medicine, only to see that the wound was red and swollen, and with a gentle support, blood gushed out!

The imperial doctor exclaimed, and Twilight Nabu pressed the wound and said angrily, "Why is this more than half an inch deep? It's all more than an inch! ”

The imperial doctors looked aggrieved, but they didn't dare to argue. The imperial doctors are all internal saints, and there are few who are good at diagnosing external injuries, and besides, the assassin is a saint, who dares to open the wound and take a closer look? It is also the queen's mother who is not jealous of humility.

"Needles, silk threads, tweezers, scissors, boil separately, and then quickly prepare shochu, candles, cotton, bandages, and hemp to boil!" After Twilight Qing finished giving the order, the palace people rushed out, and the hall was full of busy figures, except Bu Xihuan sat calmly with his cheeks on his cheeks, as if he was not the one who was injured.

Twilight Qing pressed his wound, with many questions in his heart, but remained silent, until the palace people had prepared everything, then called the imperial doctor to hold down the wound, got up and washed his hands with soju, and then dipped cotton in soju, and said to Bu Xihuan: "Bear with it." ”

Bu Xi smiled and didn't say anything, but gave Twilight a reassuring look.

Twilight frowned, letting the soju and blood drip down her warm jade chest, she calmed her mind, cleaned the wound and shouted, "Imperial Doctor! ”

"Wait here!"

"Compress the hemp and boil!"

Twilight handed over the anesthesia to the Imperial Doctor, took the long needle herself, carefully bent it, and by the time the Imperial Doctor had finished threading the silk around the wound.

The imperial doctors had never seen a curved needle, and they only heard that when Du Qing was still the governor of Jiangbei Navy, he had taken a knife for Emperor Yan Yuan to repair his heart, so when he heard her say that she wanted to stitch up the wound, he didn't stop him more. But no one expected that this needle would be bent.

I saw Twilight put the scients and tweezers on the fire and roasted them, rubbed them with soju, and then tried the tip of the needle next to the wound and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”

Bu Xihuan smiled at Twilight, and her stretched eyebrows were inexplicably reassuring, "Sew." ”

Twilight glanced at him, and then focused on stitching up the wound.

Seeing a needle penetrating into the flesh and blood, the old imperial doctor reminded in a trembling voice: "The queen mother should be careful, this is the ...... of the dragon body."

Twilight turned a deaf ear, and used tweezers to lead the needle, enter the needle and exit the needle, and with a skillful pull, not only the skin and flesh were combined, but the connecting buckle was also tied as if it were a trick. She threaded the needle and thread with tweezers, and the technique was amazingly dexterous, and with ease she wrapped around and pulled it, then tied a thread buckle, and brought scissors to cut the thread, and the stitch was sewn with one stitch.

The imperial doctors stared intently, and the Taiji Hall was so quiet that only the click of scissors could be heard.

After a few clicks, Twilight put the scissors on the table and said, "Alright." ”

"Alright?!" The imperial doctors were shocked, and counted them intently, only to see that the wound had been stitched with seven stitches, and the silk thread had been dyed bloody, and the queen took a ball of cotton, dipped it in soju, and wiped it on the stitched wound, and the blood did not flow!

"It's a miracle!" The old imperial doctor's eyes showed a different color, and he took a deep look at the twilight, if he was a strange person, "Niangniang didn't have a cup of tea to stabilize the injury for His Majesty, and the previous ministers and others could spend more than half an hour in the palace......"

"Ahem!" Han Qichu suddenly coughed and glanced behind the dragon case.

The old imperial doctor followed Han Qichu's gaze and saw Bu Xihuan staring at him, his eyes were light and cold.

Twilight was bandaging Bu Xihuan with a bandage, and when she heard this, she continued to bandage it casually, and then tied a piercing bow on Bu Xihuan's chest.

Bu Xihuan glanced down, smiled wryly and shook his head.

Xiao Anzi brought a basin of water, and Du Qing washed the blood stains on her hands, and said to the imperial doctors: "This palace is good at autopsy, and it is good at dealing with external injuries than you." You don't have to be presumptuous, you have a specialization in the arts, Your Majesty's injuries have been dealt with, and the next matter of conditioning your body has to be handed over to you, and it is not the director of this palace to diagnose the pulse. ”

The imperial doctors said respectfully, the old imperial doctor just said that he had leaked his mouth, and he was in a hurry to divert the topic, when he heard Twilight Qing say this, he asked under the pretext: "Weichen has something unclear, and I hope that the queen will give me advice." What should I do with the silk thread sewn on the wound? Shall the thread be sewn together with the flesh and blood? ”

"No, this line is fast in seven days, slow in half a month, and can be dismantled. As for when the stitches are removed, it depends on the severity of the injury and the healing of the wound. Twilight paused slightly, walked to the dragon case, took a pen and paper, and drew a picture of the lamp, saying as she drawn, "For external injuries, sutures can achieve accurate alignment of tissues and provide the best conditions for wound healing." If the wound is too deep or too wide, it only takes too long to rely on the contraction and healing ability of the texture itself, which not only takes too long, but also is easy to crack and infect, so it is necessary to suture the wound and force it to close and heal. Generally speaking, the wound is more than half an inch deep, too wide to be pinched, or if the wound is in a part of the body that is often moved, it needs to be sutured. ”

After some explanation, Twilight had already drawn the picture, "This is a diagram of a stitching needle, tooth tweezers, and needle holding pliers, which can be made by skilled craftsmen, and then practiced on the pig's sheepskin." ”

Bu Xi glanced at it with interest, and then made an order, "This matter will be handed over to the imperial hospital." ”

The old imperial doctor hurriedly received the order and thanked him, and respectfully accepted the drawings.

"Alright, let's go down on an errand." Bu Xihuan melted into the dragon chair tiredly, and the old imperial doctor led the crowd to retreat and prescribe decoction.

As soon as the imperial physicians left, there were only a few important ministers left in the palace, and everyone did not shy away from Twilight, and discussed the matter of strictly investigating the assassins in front of her.

Han Qichu said: "Your Majesty, the assassins have been sent to the prison, and the mastermind behind the scenes and his comrades are still to be strictly investigated. Weichen thought that he should order the patrol department to strictly investigate the capital, but in this way, His Majesty's Weifu out of the palace could not be hidden. ”

Fu Minsheng said: "There is such a toss in the imperial hospital tonight, and I can't hide it if I don't investigate." ”

Chen Youliang said: "Your Majesty's assassination, this is a big matter!" Why does it matter if you can hide it? The top priority at the moment is to strictly investigate the same party! ”

"But once the students learn the identity of His Majesty, they will definitely hinder Tianwei from having scruples, and it will be difficult for His Majesty to listen to the folk mantra in the future. At present, there is no feasible strategy for the reform of the administration of officials, and it is a pity to cut off this good opportunity at the right time. ”

"There are many students in the world who have not entered the ranks, although they are worried about the country and the people, but they are not necessarily well versed in the disadvantages of the rule of officials, and the needs of the court, and the reform policy still needs the courtiers to think more and say more. Han Shangshu was personally promoted to the court by His Majesty, and he should serve the emperor's favor for the monarch's worries, rather than pinning his hopes on the world's students. Since Han Shangshu thinks that His Majesty should accept advice, he might as well give more advice himself. ”

"Lord Zuo is reasonable, but there are many students in the world, how dare you assert that there are no wise men among them? And the subordinate official is the soldier Cao Shangshu, who is responsible for the appointment of military attachés of the imperial court, ordnance, and military orders, while the Zuo Prime Minister is the head of the hundred officials, and he is afraid that he will have to work hard to discuss the affairs of the army. ”

"You!"

Chen Youliang's face was full of anger, Han Qichu smiled kindly, the two looked at each other, and the undercurrent was turbulent.

Lu Sheng and Li Jin lowered their heads and pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Fu Minsheng was busy playing the round, "Hey, two adults! I am the same as an official of the court, and my political views are different, so isn't Your Majesty able to listen to all kinds of words? Since the two adults are both worried about the king, why should they fight for each other? ”

"What Elder Fu said is extremely true." Han Qichu smiled, and then politely and politely waved at Chen Youliang, "The officials are more offended, and I hope that Prime Minister Zuo will forgive me." ”

Chen Youliang snorted, and then he gave up.

The two had an argument in front of the emperor and knew that they were out of order, so they stepped aside and waited for the holy ruling.

Bu Xihuan's eyes seemed to be open and half-closed, and he looked at the courtiers tiredly, and only said after a while: "Li Jin." ”

Li Jin, the commander of the Biandu Patrol Division, hurriedly knelt down, "Weichen is here!" ”

"Enforce a curfew and keep the assassins under strict control."

"Wechen obeys!"

"Lu Sheng."

"Wechen is here!" Bianzhou Thorn Shi also hurriedly knelt down.

"I will leave the matter of interrogating the assassins to you, but don't try people to death, die one, I only ask."

"Weichen Command!"

Bu Xi accepted Chen Youliang's words, glanced at Han Qichu lightly, and said, "Okay, I'm tired, kneel down, and the rest will be played again tomorrow morning." ”

"Wait for the resignation!" All the ministers saluted the emperor and queen, but then retreated.

As soon as the door of the palace closed, Twilight said, "Pass the meal!" ”

Fan Tong only listened to the voice and knew that the queen was in a bad mood, so he went on an errand in person, and took all the palace people out when he left.

Only the husband and wife were left in the hall, and the atmosphere fell silent.

Bu Xihuan looked at Twilight, looked at it, smiled on her lips, and asked cautiously, "Have you had dinner before coming here?" ”

Twilight Qing frowned, feeling that her heart was wrinkled, and she turned her head and asked, "You didn't let Xiao Anzi come to deliver the message immediately, is this because of this?" ”

Xiao Anzi sent a message that when Bu Xihuan was assassinated, she thought that he had just returned to the palace, but the imperial doctor said that before she came, it had taken more than half an hour for them to deal with the injury, which meant that Bu Xihuan had already returned to the palace. Counting the hours, when he returned to the palace, she was almost eating.

She has always been punctual, since she fell ill on the way south, Bu Xihuan thought she was weak, knowing that the cold poison in her body had been cleared, but because Wu Jin said that she still needed to consolidate the foundation for three years, he planted herbs in the imperial court to regulate yin and nourish the body, and ordered the imperial dining room to pinch the hours for three meals a day.

In fact, her physique has improved a lot compared to before, but she can't bear to live up to Bu Xihuan's intentions, and she can't bear to let him worry about her while working on state affairs, so from the day she lived in the Chengqian Palace, she was very self-disciplined in diet and daily life, and never had to worry about him.

He returned late today, she knew that there must be a reason, and when she heard Xiao Anzi say that his master was not in a hurry, she guessed that Fan Tong was in the know. Since Fan Tong was not in a hurry, she must have taken a pity, so she ordered the palace people to pass the meal. She knows that she is happy with her temperament, she is late to the palace today, and she will definitely ask her if she can have dinner when she comes back, he has just been in power, and in the future, she is afraid that she will return late for some reason, if she doesn't want him to worry about her every time, she will have to use this dinner today.

Unexpectedly, she was having dinner in the harem, he dealt with the sword wound in the front hall, and asked Xiao Anzi to wait for her to finish the meal before reporting the news!

"What the hell happened to your assassination?" Twilight Qing didn't wait for Bu Xihuan to answer, and suppressed her emotions, and then the conversation changed. She knows him too well, if she asks him to answer, what she says must be love words, and she can't listen to a bunch of things, so it's better to ask something else.

The assassination of Bu Xihuan is by no means simple, he has achieved great achievements, there are few people on the rivers and lakes who can hurt him, even if there are many assassins and strong martial arts, but the skills of the hidden guards are also top-notch, how can they be so ineffective? There is also Fan Tong, Fan informed Dao that he would return late, but he was not in a hurry, which was very intriguing.

Bu Xihuan came back before the palace gate was locked, calculating the time it took to return to the palace from the teahouse, plus the time he was assassinated outside the palace and fighting, it can basically be determined that he returned late today because of the assassination, not because he had other things to do. So, if the assassination was an emergency, Bu Xihuan didn't expect it before, so why did he return late, but Fan Tong was not in a hurry?

Fan Tong is not in a hurry, Bu Xihuan should not be easily injured but was injured, the truth is about to come out, but Du Qing didn't say it, she was waiting for Bu Xihuan to say.

"I know I can't hide it from you." Bu Xihuan sighed, took Du Qing's hand and patted it, and said slowly from the beginning, "Since the disposal of Lin Youxue, the wind and waves in the middle of the court have been calm, but Han Qichu and the first Hanshi have been promoted to the important position of Shangshu, how can the court be really calm?" It's just that the eight mansions were completely shocked by the ministers, and they didn't dare to compete openly. But do you think, now that the military power of Bianzhou and Huainan Province has been returned to the imperial court, there are Chen Youliang, Fu Minsheng, Han Qichu in the court, Zhang Tong, Cui Yuan and others, and the people still have momentum, those old-fashioned ministers may be able to sit still? The court and the harem, they don't dare to go out again for the time being, isn't the place where they are most likely to intervene is in the people? Previously, they had sent some people to blend into the teahouse, and talked about the queen's threat among the students, and Bai Qing often went to the teahouse to give lectures, and they would not be unaware. Bai Qing is a white cloth, and it is much easier to kill a common person than to assassinate an official of the imperial court. With Bai Qing's reputation among the Hanshi, if he dies, it will not only be a big blow to the Hanshi Xuechao, but also cut off my arm early. The sergeants of the DPRK are most afraid of reform, and once the Han Shi becomes a party, they will definitely fight against the gate valve. Chen Youliang and Han Qichu did not have Bai Qing's influence among the students, and for some people in the court, they were even more afraid of Bai Qing. There is a precedent for Han Qichu to break into the DPRK, and they will not let Bai Qing have this opportunity. ”

"So, from the day you personally promoted Han Qi to the court, you knew that Bai Qing would be assassinated?"

Bu Xi laughed and did not speak, and his calm and idle breath made people's teeth itch.

"You were injured on purpose?" Twilight still couldn't help asking.

Bu Xihuan smiled lightly: "If the husband is not injured, how can the matter be big?" If the matter is not big, how can we cure those people's sin of assassination? ”

"Stabbing driver?"

"The lady needs to know that although Bai Qing has the virtuous name given by the emperor, he is still a white dress, he was assassinated, and according to the law, he should be inspected by the Assassin Mansion. The new Bianzhou Assassin Lu Sheng has the support of the old-school scholars behind him, because when his husband was in power, he gave the post of commander of the patrol department to the former Imperial Forest Army General Li Jin, and in order to calm the hearts of some people, he assigned the post of assassin to their people. If the assassin is Bai Qing, they will only hear thunder and not see rain, and even if a mastermind is found in the end, most of them will be pushed to the vendetta in the rivers and lakes. I have been waiting for my husband for a few months, but I don't want to run only a batch of rivers and lakes, but if I want to do it, I will do it with a few court officials. ”

“……”

"If you don't get hurt a little bit, don't let the imperial hospital toss around, how can things reach the ears of those people? Assassination and conspire to rebel, no one will be willing to bear this great crime, you see, tomorrow morning, there will be people who are wise enough to protect their lives to correct each other, not only the mastermind behind the scenes, but also a lot of illegal things. ”

Listening to this, Twilight Qing didn't know what to say for a while, and then said, "I think, after this incident, the ministers should be afraid of Your Majesty like a tiger and a wolf." ”

I just wanted to assassinate Bai Qing, but I stabbed the Son of Heaven on the head, if the ministers learned about it, they were afraid that they would be so shocked that they couldn't sleep tonight. The matter of the Eight Mansions had already shocked the ministers enough, and if they suffered a loss on Bai Qing again, they would really have to be cautious when accompanying the monarch in the future.

"It's better than being unscrupulous, if you have no scruples for officials, the rule of officials will be chaotic."

Twilight Qing also thinks so, but she still cares about one thing, "Which one is Chen Youliang and Han Qi's first performance tonight?" ”

Bu Xi laughed and praised: "You can see it." ”

Twilight Qing didn't appreciate it, "Chen Youliang's temperament is not acting material at all, I remember that before joining the army, I told him when I tried the case in the Assassin's Mansion - angry, flicked his sleeves, and reprimanded." That is, expressions, movements, and language, all three appear at the same time, and there is no time difference, which is the real anger - he doesn't know how to learn and use it, so he has to snort angrily before brushing his sleeves. ”

"It's too hard for you to be for him, it's not easy for him to choke a few words with someone."

"So? These people who are not good at acting have all taken the stage to sing, so what's the matter? ”

"Didn't you expect that? After tonight, the ministers will fear me like a wolf. Although it is a good thing that they have restrained themselves, there will be people who are cautious on the surface and work hard in secret. That's not going to work, instead of letting them get out of the camp, I'd show them the way. ”

The words were vague, but Twilight understood, "You...... deliberately let Chen Youliang and Han Qi perform this play for the first time, in order to make the ministers think that they disagree with their political views? The two of them are from the same cold family, at this time the political views are not in agreement, it can be said that there is a great benefit to the old school, and when the time comes, the tricks of co-optation and discord are only afraid of endlessly, do you want to take this opportunity to see the thoughts of the hundred officials? ”

"Well, the lady is a little thorough, smart!" Bu Xi laughed.

Twilight was at a loss for words.

How many tricks did this guy's heart have? The stomach is full of twists and turns!

In the matter of Bafu, he was already afraid of the courtiers' calculations, who knew that this calculation had not yet come to an end, and there was still Bai Qing in the future. By taking advantage of this matter, not only can we uproot a few ministers who oppose the reform of government governance, but also win the hearts of students all over the world. At this point, this city is deep enough, and this person has even made another game! Chen Youliang and Han Qichu's political disagreement is just a play, as long as someone in the DPRK and China enters the play, whoever enters the play and which one he sings is under his nose.

In terms of political skills, Bu Xihuan's Taoism is too deep, if it weren't for his explicit instructions, Twilight Qing really couldn't guess it.

"I suddenly felt a little sympathetic to the Manchu civil and military." Twilight Road.

Bu Xihuan laughed happily, "Can the husband take this as a lady's appreciation?" ”

"Come less! You lied to me for three months! If I knew that you left the palace not only to argue with the students, but also to wait for someone to assassinate, I would definitely follow ......" Before she could speak, Twilight suddenly stopped, and a flash of thought came to her heart, making her eyes tingle inexplicably, "You tell the truth, you never allow me to accompany you out of the palace, are you worried that I will be in danger when I am assassinated?" ”

Bu Xihuan smiled, didn't answer, just combed the hair on the sideburns of Twilight, and the candlelight jumped between his eyebrows, looking beautiful.

Knowing that he had always been like this, Twilight's heart still seemed to be clutched, and the pain was hard to relieve.

"Does the wound hurt?" Twilight's voice was a little hoarse when she spoke again, and she touched the bandage on Bu Xihuan's chest, and the ridiculously big bow was deliberately tied up by the imperial doctor when she said that she was leaking. Knowing that with this bow in the way, she couldn't touch his wound, but she was still afraid of hurting him.

"It's quick when you stitch up, why are you afraid now?" Bu Xihuan took Twilight Qing's hand and pressed it to her chest, letting her touch it with confidence, "The medicinal power of the hemp boiling powder has not dissipated yet, it doesn't hurt." ”

He only expected that someone would do something to Bai Qing before, but he didn't expect that day, if he told her, wouldn't she have to be afraid every time she left the palace? And with her temperament, she must follow him, the sword and gun have no eyes, and the hidden arrow is difficult to prevent, he is afraid of hurting her, so he has to hide it.

He knew she would be upset when she learned everything, but if he was asked to choose again, he would still hide it from her.

The temperature needle under the palm of her hand pierced Twilight, she turned her eyes away, and said, "The white otter silk failed to bring it across the river, and if the thread is removed in a few days, it may leave a scar." ”

Bu Xihuan listened to it and laughed, "Since the lady minds, it's good to ask the imperial doctor to prescribe some prescriptions for removing scars." Don't worry, don't let the lady look at the fun. ”

How to listen to this and how it is not serious, as soon as Twilight Qing heard it, she knew what Bu Xihuan's so-called "disappointment" was alluding to, and she couldn't help but feel hot, and looked up and glared at him.

At this time, Fan Tong said outside the hall: "Your Majesty, the queen's mother, can you pass the meal?" ”

"Bring it in." Step pity for Twilight Qingdao.

"Yes."

Dinner was placed in the side hall, Bu Xihuan was injured in his right shoulder, unable to hold chopsticks, so Dusk Qing filled a bowl of porridge, scooped it up and tried a bite, and handed it to Bu Xihuan's lips.

It's just a mouthful of porridge, but Bu Xihuan tasted it slowly, and said with a smile: "I was injured in my right shoulder to avoid the vital point, and I regretted it for my husband on the way back to the palace. Thinking about it like this, I don't regret it. ”

"Eat without words!" Twilight didn't believe this, this person could count as a hundred steps in one step, and he wouldn't have thought of the benefits of hurting his right shoulder? It's just teasing her.

"Open your mouth and drink your porridge." Twilight scooped a spoonful of porridge and handed it to Bu Xihuan's lips, with a little helplessness in her words.

Bu Xi laughed, and really kept the rule of eating without saying a word, she fed a spoonful, he took a sip, looked at each other in twos, and said nothing more.

This scene seems familiar, but he is not as weak as then, the autumn rain outside the hall, the lamp on the desk is warm and fragrant, and his sideburns are slightly snow-white in the candlelight, which makes her in a trance for a while, as if they are just sitting like this, taking care of each other all their lives, and their heads are white in the blink of an eye.

After a bowl of porridge, Bu Xihuan said: "This porridge dish is still fragrant made by the lady." ”

"Then go back to the dormitory, I'll cook."

"Okay."

Bu Xihuan responded well, but his expression was a little tired. The chariot was waiting outside the hall, and Twilight Qing straightened his robe for Bu Xihuan, and helped him to walk outside the hall.

The door of the hall opened, Xiao Anzi and Cai'e had already held up the umbrella, Fan Tong opened the car door, Bu Xihuan took Twilight's hand, and helped her into the chariot first. The medicinal power of Ma Boiling Powder had already dissipated, but Bu Xihuan acted as usual when he got into the car, and just sat down, before the car door was closed, he suddenly heard a rush of footsteps.

Iron boots stepped on the rain, and the sonorous sound crashed into people's hearts at night, making people panic when they heard it.

The Taiji Hall is in front, and the footsteps are coming from the rear, and Twilight can't help but look heavy - at this hour, the rush from the harem must be related to Ningshou Palace! Didn't King Heng make a fuss in the evening? What's going on again?

Just thinking about it, the guards had already rushed to the chariot and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Prince Heng just cried, overturned the confession, and smashed the ...... The spiritual seat of the Queen Mother! ”

Twilight was startled, and subconsciously turned her head, only to see that the car door was half-open and half-closed, the carved window had cut the light shadow, and Bu Xihuan's face was cut to pieces, and Qingjun's slender fingers were deeply pinched into the brocade mat, and Twilight gently patted the back of his hand, but he didn't realize it.

After a long time, I only listened to Bu Xihuan's voice so cold that it was cold to the bone, "swinging ......"

"Drive the Qianfang Palace!" Twilight interrupts suddenly.

Bu Xihuan turned his head, but Twilight didn't look at him, only gave Fan Tong a look, and then slammed the car door shut.

"Swing and drive-" Fan Tong sang and reported, did not say where to drive, only shook off the dust and pointed to Qianfang Palace.

*

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, Cai'e led the palace people out of the Chengqian Palace, and when she was about to retreat, Dusk Qing said: "Take the court clothes of the palace!" ”

Bu Xihuan turned to look at Twilight and asked, "What are you going to do here?" ”

"Go to Ningshou Palace!" Twilight Qing pulled Bu Xihuan to sit down in front of the dragon couch and said, "You are injured, you are not allowed to go anywhere." I'll deal with the matter of Ningshou Palace. ”

"Green ......"

"I know what you're going to say, but I'm determined. If you want to convince me, answer me first: I told you that my body is much better than before, so why do you have to work for me? ”

Bu Xihuan didn't know why Twilight Qing asked this question, afraid that she would drill the tip of the horns again, so she said patiently: "You and I are husband and wife, it is reasonable for me to be considerate of my husband, why bother?" Since you came back, you have been working hard every day in prison, but your body still needs to be solidified, how can you not worry about your husband? If we don't make more arrangements for you, you and I are not yet white, and you will accumulate work and become ill, but what is good? ”

Unexpectedly, Twilight asked, "Am I not worried?" Since you were in power, why haven't you taken a day off? In the days when I accompanied me back to Gushui County, the desk was full of folds. You don't just worry about state affairs, but you still have to worry about family affairs, do you think your body is made of iron? Am I not worried that you and I are not white-headed, and you will be angry and sick? ”

Bu Xihuan was stunned, with an apologetic face, and held Twilight's hand.

"Ningshou Palace is often noisy, do you think I don't know? I never asked, because I knew that the person was your heart knot, and if you wanted to untie it yourself, then I shouldn't interfere. But this doesn't mean that you are injured, I can still watch you go to Ningshou Palace to toss! No matter how much trouble he made on weekdays, he didn't dare to confess, why did he smash his mother's spiritual position today? Isn't it because you have punished him tepidly these days, he has suffered from you, and he can't see you, so he made this decision in anger? If you go to him, will you not fulfill his heart's desire? While speaking, Twilight glanced outside the hall and saw that Cai'e was already waiting with her court clothes, so she got up and walked out, "I don't interfere in the grievances between your father and son, but he doesn't want you to have a good time, I can't stand it, this is a grievance between me and him, don't interfere." If I don't settle this account with him, my body won't be able to take care of it! ”

These words were not without threat, and the palace people lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to make a sound.

Bu Xihuan only shook his head and smiled bitterly, and leaned into the dragon couch with a smile, "You are determined to be a husband......

Twilight didn't refute, but said, "You are not allowed to go anywhere tonight, I will go to see him, and I should do my best for my mother." ”

Twilight was served by Cai'e and changed her clothes, and she walked out of the Chengqian Hall without looking back.

At the time of the second watch, the heavy rain drowned out the sound of bangzi, and the phoenix galloped through the deep palace road, and the rain from the wheels was splashed on the palace wall, and the palace lights were reflected, as if bleeding.

The chief of the guard outside the Ningshou Palace was quite surprised to see Feng Yuan, and when he saw Feng driving out of the chariot, the chief of the guard was even more surprised.

The queen is dressed in court clothes, tied with hairpins and crowns, and the green silk hangs down the cloud shoulders, like hanging a green sword, heroic and awe-inspiring.

The chief of the guard couldn't help but think of the promulgation of the edict of the queen, when he heard that the queen had never worn court clothes when he received the decree that day, he came to Ningshou Palace tonight and actually wore court clothes, could it be to deal with the person who was imprisoned behind the palace gate? Although he was hesitant in his heart, the chief of the guard did not dare to hesitate, hurriedly opened the palace gate, knelt down to welcome the phoenix, and saw the phoenix spread out like smoke and ink, and hundreds of birds appeared in the rain in an instant!

The queen walked slowly into the palace gate, the birds showed their golden feathers on their skirts to worship Fengzun, and the palace people behind Fengzun followed, Cai'e and Xiao Anzi closed the palace gate when they entered Ningshou Palace, and ordered the rest to wait outside the door.

The grass in Ningshou Palace is overgrown, there is a ghost lamp lit in the main hall, and a person stands at the door with his hair scattered, looking at it from a distance, like a lonely soul in the barren hall.

Twilight raised her hand and brushed away the palace umbrella held by Cai'e, and climbed the palace steps step by step in the heavy rain.

King Heng stared at Du Qing faintly, his voice was old, and he said mockingly: "The queen mother is so majestic." ”

The four walls of the hall are empty, the murals of magnificent colors line the empty and cold in the hall, the palace bricks are glowing with cold green glow, the fruit is rolled to the ground, the tablet of Princess Heng lies in it, and the head of the card has been broken. Twilight Qing approached and picked it up, wiped the shoe prints on the tablet with her cuffs, and said lightly: "It's not as good as the prince, if you can't make trouble with your son, you will smash your wife's spiritual position, this is so majestic." ”

"You!" King Heng was furious, his anger blurred behind his loose hair.

Twilight Qing still remembers the first time she saw King Heng in Shengjing City, in front of the palace Huache Meiji, he was dressed in an ink fox big hat, purple crown and jade face, only the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes can be seen a few traces of time, and now he has only been imprisoned for three months, and he has gray hair, his beard is like grass, and his old age has appeared.

"Son?" King Heng sneered, stretched out his arms, rolled up his big sleeves, and danced sadly in the wind like a servant in the secluded room, "What a son, this is really a good son of this king!" ”

"Yes, he is." Twilight continued unhappily.

"Hah!" King Heng turned around with a vague step, his long narrow eyes hidden behind his messy hair, and stared gloomily at people, "Do you think that if he can spare this king's life, it will be considered benevolent and righteous?" ”

Twilight raised her eyebrows, and the meaning was clear—wasn't it?

King Heng laughed and pounded his chest gloomily, and the sound was like a pound.

Boom!

Knock knock!

"You're wrong, he wants to take revenge on this king! He took this king out of Shengjing because he was afraid that Yuan Xiu would threaten him with the life of this king, and he didn't want to bear the infamy of unfilial piety. He imprisoned the king in this deep palace, sat on the Jinluan Palace, admired by hundreds of officials, and praised by the filial son of Mingjun! No one could see him tormenting this king, he could not see the prison cell of this deserted temple, and there was not even a person to speak. He just wants to torture this king to death in front of his mother's spiritual throne, so as to avenge his mother's great revenge! King Heng smiled bitterly, "In his eyes, this king is just an enemy. ”

Twilight listened quietly, as if looking at a poor man.

This gaze stung King Heng, and he asked, "Why don't you speak?" Was it said by this king? Or do you not want to admit that you are married to a deceitful person? ”

"I just want to see how malicious a father can speculate about his son."

"Malicious speculation?"

"It's just a polite statement, and I'd rather say - you fart!"

King Heng immediately inhaled a few steps back, probably because he had never heard such rude words.

Twilight said angrily, "Is it wrong that he doesn't want to be infamy?" At what age did he enter the palace, and how many years has he been scolded, do you dare to say that you don't know?! When he entered the palace at the age of six, where were you when his mother was tortured with a silk? You indulge in prostitutes in Qinglou and don't come home at night! Where were you when he was walking alone in the deep palace? You welcome the concubine in the palace and set up a son, drunk and dreaming of death! You never helped him when he was lonely and weak, and now that he is close to politics, why should you bear the infamy of unfilial piety because of you? You said that he tortured you, but I think you won't let him go! As a husband, you don't take care of your wife, and as a father, you don't help your young son, shouldn't he have a grudge against you? He just asked you to live in simple clothes, eat fasting and recite Buddha, and mourn for his deceased wife, what's wrong? ”

"What's wrong?" King Heng laughed twice, as if he had heard a joke. He went on a hunger strike for three days, and he didn't know where he got the strength, so he said sharply, "He was born in the emperor's family, and he still hopes for the love of father and son, it's his fault!" His mother and Yuan Guifei had a happy year in the same year, the front door of King Heng's Mansion was full of birds, and there were endless guests in the Prime Minister's Mansion, this is fate! People can't fight with fate, but he was early in wisdom, won the love of the first emperor, and planted the root of the curse early! The Nine Emperors died, Yuan Guifei became the Empress Dowager, he was elected as the new emperor, and he should be regarded as the Empress Dowager as the ancestor, but he shouted every day what he wanted to be a concubine! His mother and concubine are guarding outside the palace gate every day, and the two of them have a deep mother-son relationship, but for the empress dowager who has the pain of losing her child, isn't it equivalent to someone poking her heart with a knife? She even dared to seize the palace, let alone kill a princess Heng? His mother was killed, obviously because he was involved! ”

Twilight took a step back in shock, came back to her senses, and couldn't help but be furious, "Fallacy! He was young at that time, and he was forcibly imprisoned in the palace, how could he not miss his mother?! ”

King Heng raised his head and laughed, "The Emperor's Family, where is the child?" There are only kings and ministers, only success or failure, only people who kill a way to live and ghosts who fail! The descendants of the emperor's family, born with this fate, can't lose if you don't accept your fate, and if you don't want to lose, you have to be ruthless and righteous first! He entered the palace at a young age, and he had nothing to rely on to understand the way to survive, otherwise, do you think he can live to this day? ”

King Heng stood by the door, and the autumn wind swept into the temple, blowing his gray and messy hair, and his expression was a little crazy.

Twilight didn't answer, and only after a while did she stare at King Heng and ask, "So, are you thinking about him?" ”

But the king was silent.

Twilight sneered at the corners of her lips and asked, "If it's for him, why are you making trouble now?" ”

King Heng remained silent.

Twilight said, "Silent? Then I say! In June, he was the master of the wronged people in Gushui County, and beheaded the bully Li Pang in the court, so he was the younger brother of the Lingnan Assassin Shi, so some courtiers persuaded him to negotiate peace with Lingnan in humiliation. That day, I happened to meet you abusing the palace people, he left the Ningshou Palace with his front foot, and entered the Taiji Hall with his back foot. The next morning, the eight governments jointly asked for the selection of concubines, and he made a surprise plan to depose the four mansions, forcing the three mansions to submit to obedience, and the He mansion was isolated, and the alliance of the eight mansions was abolished in one fell swoop. In July, former soldier Cao Shang Shulin was robbed on the way to escort; At the beginning of August, the old Lin clan in the Huainan army instigated a mutiny, but fortunately, the military power was recovered from the imperial court after the early deployment; In mid-August, the Guanhuai flood, the palace reduced expenses, the imperial court opened the righteous warehouse, not only reduced the taxes of the hardest-hit Chiayi and Xingyu counties, but also in order to prevent the plague from raging, King Jin rushed to the disaster area overnight with a group of imperial doctors and urgently recruited civil Langzhong, and has not returned so far! Since the end of August, the remnants of the old Lin family have repeatedly stirred up turmoil by taking advantage of the civil disasters and national disasters, and the military situation in Guanhuai and Huai is urgent, and every two or three days, there are military reports to be urgently submitted to the DPRK, and the ministers of the DPRK and the central government do not dare to make a time, but secretly they are eyeing the folk sages, just this evening, Bu Xihuan was assassinated on the way back to the palace in Weifu, and was wounded by a sword, the blood could not be stopped, and the stitches were moved! ”

King Heng was stunned, his face turned in the direction of twilight, and the man looked a little stiff in the wide robe.

"In addition, the reform of the Shi Shi and the crisis of Lingnan are important matters that need to be solved urgently, the imperial court is in urgent need of talents, and the people who can use them are all serving the country, even the king of Jin has gone to the disaster area to serve. And the prince, you are either abusing the palace people, smashing the palace things, or going on a hunger strike, and now you have smashed the tablet of your wife, so tossed, I really don't understand, what are you trying to do! But now I understand - you're begging for death. I thought you were just dissatisfied with being imprisoned, and you were still delusional about indulging in lust, but I didn't expect you to smash your wife's tablet! You said that you are just an enemy in his eyes, so you smashed his mother's tablet, do you want to toss him? No, you're forcing him, forcing him to kill you in a fit of rage! ”

King Heng stared at Twilight, his body as if he was even more stiff.

"What a coward!" Twilight Qing raised his hand and pointed at King Heng, the phoenix feathers on his sleeve were like golden knives, cutting people with knives, "Since you are well versed in the ugliness of imperial power, you can't expect what kind of infamy he will bear if he kills his father, and how many people in the court and the people will wait for the opportunity to move?" The first emperor said that you are mediocre, he really looked away, listening to your words, you are not a mediocre person, but a person who understands. You saw the battle for imperial power too thoroughly, so you indulged in mediocrity and became one of the last two surviving princes. But the first emperor said that you were cowardly, but you didn't look away, you didn't dare to save your wife when she was killed, and you didn't dare to help your sister-in-law when she was imprisoned. But you can't get better now, in this Ningshou Palace, there is only the spiritual position of your wife every day, you can no longer paralyze yourself with external affairs, but you are a cowardly person, you dare not judge yourself, so you want to borrow your son's hand! What kind of sin did Bu Xihuan create in his last life, and he is such a father as you! ”

"Huh." King Heng was silent for a long time, and after a long time, he actually laughed, and sat down weakly against the door of the temple, "Yes...... Maybe it's really a sin. ”

I don't know who this sentence is talking about, King Heng looked up at Du Qing, and his tone calmed down, "This king just feels tired, reincarnated in the emperor's house, and can't enjoy the wealth and power of the world, at least he has to enjoy the glory of the world with good wine and beauty, otherwise wouldn't it be in vain to waste this ability to be reincarnated?" But now I can't enjoy anything, the second half of my life is long and boring, so wouldn't it be a good thing to go to Huangquan early? ”

"Then the prince decided on his own! With these four walls, it's not easy to go to Huangquan? ”

"Wouldn't it be quicker for him to kill the enemy of this king with his own hands?"

"Happy? What about after the pleasure? Bearing the name of a lifelong father-killer? ”

King Heng laughed mockingly, "Throughout the ages, there have been few father-killing kings? How many people have been taken from their thrones because of this? He is a smart boy, he has survived so many years, and he will definitely be able to come up with a way to hide from the world. Besides, you are like a god in prison, and the autopsy technique was famous in Shengjing, and it is not easy to use a little tricks? ”

"......" Twilight sneered, "What the prince said is very true, but he will never kill his father." Do you know why? ”

"Didn't you say that?"

"It's a shame that you're still his father! What a father in vain! Twilight raised her sleeves, eager to pull her head down, and woke up the confused person in front of her, "Look at this half of the country!" He is more affectionate than the emperor of the country, how can he kill his father? No matter how much he complains about you, he doesn't blame you from birth, how can there be a child in this world who has never longed for his father? It's just that there are many fathers who disappoint their children. He has just been in power, and he has cleaned up a bunch of messes in the DPRK and China, but he can't rule you alone! Don't you understand? He resents you, but he only resents you. ”

Twilight Qing didn't pull it down after all, she dropped her sleeves and walked out of the hall, the wind on her sleeves blew away King Heng's gray and grassy hair, and his expression was in the shadow of the lamp and the shadow, and he couldn't see it really.

Twilight didn't say anything, just stood under the eaves for a while, and then went down the stairs.

Cai'e hurriedly stepped forward and held an umbrella for Twilight, who arrived at the palace gate and said to Xiao Anzi: "Order the imperial dining room to send some food, transfer the old manager of Hengwang's Mansion back to serve, tell the guards to watch it, and don't allow the prince to abuse the palace people again." ”

Xiao Anzi should be, and then opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Twilight froze.

Bu Xihuan stood alone with an oil-paper umbrella outside the door, raindrops fell like a line, separated by a door, and he was in a trance like tears.

Twilight Qing was shocked, she didn't know how long Bu Xihuan had been here, and how much she had heard King Heng's words. She hurriedly stepped over the threshold and asked, "Why are you here?" Didn't you want to rest in the dormitory? ”

While asking, he paid attention to Bu Xihuan's expression, really afraid that he would hear the words "His mother was killed by him", but he didn't expect that as soon as she finished speaking, she was hugged by an arm in her arms.

The man's breath scratched her ears and neck, still so warm, but it was so low that it made people feel distressed, "I'm hungry, I can't sleep when I think about the lady's porridge and side dishes...... Shall we go back? ”

"Okay."

Fan Tong was already waiting next to the chariot, and looked back at Ningshou Palace before twilight went up, in the pouring rain, the palace lights were yellow, and a person was faintly seen standing in the main hall, facing the palace gate.

And Bu Xihuan never glanced at Ningshou Palace.

After Twilight returned to the Chengqian Palace, she went to the stove room to cook hot porridge and make a few dishes after a little change of clothes, and made a few side dishes.

That night, he didn't sleep well, as if he was uneasy, and held Twilight's hand all night, Twilight was worried about his shoulder injury, and he almost didn't close his eyes all night.

"You're injured, but it's okay to rest for a day or two."

"Last night, the imperial hospital was so tossed, and the news of my assassination must have spread all over the court. The current situation is still unstable, if you don't go to court early, it will be difficult to calm the hearts of hundreds of officials. Besides, there will be a good show to watch in today's early dynasty, wouldn't it be a pity not to go? Bu Xihuan stole a sip of incense on Twilight's face, and went to the court after breakfast.

It rained all night, and I could already feel a little cool in the early morning of this day, and before the palace door was opened, all the officials had arrived at work.

The civil and military ministers gathered outside the palace gate and blew up, and inquired about Lu Sheng, the assassin of Bianzhou.

Lu Sheng, who had interrogated the assassin all night, was already exhausted, and was bombarded by the fatigue of his colleagues, so he hurriedly pointed to the crowd, "That ......"

He wanted to say that last night they were summoned to the Taiji Hall together with the old Shangshu Fu Minsheng and the new soldier Cao Shangshu Han Qichu, but after pointing around, he didn't see anyone, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart - these two people are too slippery! I must have expected such a situation this morning, so I deliberately arrived late.

And last night, Chen Youliang, the left minister, and Li Jin, the commander of the Biandu Patrol Division, were also in the Taiji Palace, but Chen Youliang has never been good at dealing with his colleagues, Li Jin was born in the Imperial Forest Guard, and the people in the Imperial Forest Army are only loyal to the saint, so these two will never save him.

Lu Sheng sighed, and had to deal with his colleagues hard, but when he glanced at Chen Youliang, he sighed in his heart - Han Qichu came late today, could it be that he also deliberately avoided Chen Youliang? After all, the two of them had a bad quarrel in front of the palace yesterday.

This thought turned in Lu Sheng's heart, and it took root.

Lu Sheng finally stayed up until the time to open the palace gate, but when he got to the top, he was even more dizzy and tinnitus.

Hundreds of officials lined up and entered the Jinluan Palace, and when they saw that Bu Xihuan was really injured, they were shocked that Bai Qing was actually the saint today, and everyone felt the seriousness of this matter. Although those who do not know are not guilty, the person who assassinated Bai Qing is obviously aimed at the court situation, once it is found out, his crime is not trivial, so in order to clear his suspicion, the hundred officials actually corrected each other for a while, and quarreled in front of the emperor.

Chao Shang was in a mess because of the assassination, but suddenly saw an armored guard hurrying up the steps of the hall, kneeling outside the hall, and shouting: "Your Majesty! There is an old monk outside the palace gate, please enter the court to see your majesty! ”

There was a sudden silence in the hall!

Bu Xihuan raised his eyes, and there was a little surprise in his eyes, "Where is the old monk?" ”

The guard's expression was suspicious, and he said: "Back to Your Majesty, this person calls himself a wandering monk, and his law name is ...... Void phase! ”
