Chapter 70: Buddha's Bone Relics (2)
The sky was overcast and gloomy, as if rain was going to fall at any moment, and the breeze blew open the sedan curtain with a hint of coldness, blowing on a handsome and dashing face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Yu got out of the sedan chair, holding the Xuanji fan in his hand, looking at the powerful imperial city in front of him, and his heart had stopped struggling uselessly.
Now that he has come here, there is no room to retreat, no matter whether it is a blessing or a curse ahead, he has to follow with both hands. He had no choice, because it was his birthright.
Above the court, Gong Ling, who was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, squinted lazily, and a pair of phoenix eyes looked at the ministers who were immersed in the performance, intentionally or unintentionally, and there was a trace of reluctance between his eyebrows.
The ministers carefully reported their own affairs, and no one dared to say a word that should not be said easily, let alone speculate on the monarch's thoughts. The moodiness of this young emperor, there was nothing that the ministers present did not know, and no one dared to ignore his majesty because he was young, that was undoubtedly looking for death.
After the early dynasty was dispersed, accompanied by a group of guards and palace maids, Gong Ling went to the imperial study as usual.
At this time, a housekeeper and father-in-law rushed up from behind, and Fu Diyu reported: "Your Majesty, the guests from outside the palace have arrived......"
"Really?" A playful smile rose on Gong Ling's uncertain face, "He's finally here, take him to my imperial study." β
"Yes, the minion will go." The father-in-law trembled and received his life, and then he got up prostrately, bowed his head and retreated, without even lifting his head all the way.
Shen Yu, under the leadership of the father-in-law, came to a slightly elegant palace, he raised his eyes and glanced at it, unconsciously twisting his eyebrows, it was the emperor's imperial study. Although it was not the first time he had stepped into this palace, it was full of royal deterrence, which always made him feel very restrained and uncomfortable.
After the housekeeper's father-in-law reported at the door, the door of the imperial study was opened by the guards. Shen Yu sighed invisibly, and finally walked in with his feet raised.
"The villain Nangong Yu has seen the emperor." He held a fan to salute, and his moon-white robe was slightly rippling.
Gong Ling leaned on the jade throne to look at him, lightly opened her thin lips and said, "It's been five years, I still thought that you wanted to escape for the rest of your life......"
Shen Yu frowned, "The emperor laughed, the villain is just a distraction, how can he escape?" β
"So, I'm wrong?" Gong Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a hint of danger floating in the air.
"Your Majesty, you're right, how could you be wrong, it's the villain, I'm wrong......" He lowered his head and continued to grind.
"Alright, alright!" Gong Ling glanced at him in annoyance, "It's only been a few years, but you kid has learned to play tricks with me?" β
"The villain doesn't dare." Shen Yu still lowered his head, and he couldn't see what his expression was.
"You better keep your head up, I can't see your face, I always feel like you're snickering......" Gong Ling said with a slightly strange feeling.
"Yes." Shen Yu raised his head under the command, but there was no expression on his handsome face, which made Gong Ling a little surprised.
It seems that in the past five years, the once pure teenager has grown a lot, whether it is temperament or deterrence, it has grown so much that he feels a little unrecognizable.
"I heard that your grandfather was seriously ill, but is it true?" Gong Ling changed her words and asked.
Shen Yu nodded, "The old man is old, and his body is not as good as before......"
Gong Ling pondered for a moment, "In that case, you should know why I summoned you to the palace, right?" β
"Yes." He nodded.
"You've come to your senses, and that's a good thing." Gong Ling looked at him with satisfaction, "I'm looking forward to it, I don't know what it will be like when you officially succeed Tianji Tower......"
"Thank you for the emperor's dependence, I will try not to disappoint the emperor." Shen Yu smiled silently, and his originally calm eyes had a little more depth, which made it impossible for people to see through easily.
Everyone on the rivers and lakes knows that Tianjilou makes a living by buying and selling news, only unaffordable prices, and no secrets that Tianjilou does not know. There are countless mechanisms in the building, and the layout is so exquisite that no one can break it. The owner behind it is even more mysterious, and the master is like a forest, and he can stand for hundreds of years without falling, these are all known to people.
What people don't know is that the real owner behind Tianji Tower is not the Nangong family, let alone every landlord.
Few people would have thought that the real master behind Tianji Tower would be the overlord of the imperial city who holds the country in his hands.
"I heard that the rivers and lakes have been very unpeaceful recently, do you know why?" Gong Ling saw that he was lost in thought, so he opened his mouth to break the silence.
Shen Yu was slightly shocked in his heart, he seemed to have guessed what this monarch was going to say, but he still didn't change his face, "The rivers and lakes are vast, and it is normal for them to be not peaceful, so the emperor doesn't have to worry." β
"Really?" Gong Ling looked at him meaningfully, "But I also heard that someone is fighting the idea of the Buddha's bone relics......"
Shen Yu's brows tightened, and he replied: "It's just some idiots who want to live forever, and it's not a matter of worrying to believe the rumors as true."
Gong Ling nodded a little uncertainly, "I hope so, otherwise, the consequences will be unimaginable." You and I both know very well what is hidden behind the Buddha bone relics. If necessary, bring the relics back to me, and my country is not something that anyone can covet......"
"The villain understands." Shen Yu nodded in response, but he also secretly felt weak.
When it comes to people looking for Buddha bone relics, the most obvious is Duan Chengcheng, although she is being used by people with intentions, but if she continues to look for it like this, I am afraid that sooner or later she will be targeted by the royal family, and it will be difficult for her to get out again......
"If the emperor has no other instructions, can the villain retire first?" He asked, holding a fan.
Gong Ling nodded with a smile, but as if he suddenly thought of something, he said, "It's rare for you to enter the palace and not see Lan Ke?" In the past few years since you were away, she has been talking to me every day, and I am almost annoyed to death......"
Lanco? Shen Yu chuckled in his heart, he felt a headache when he thought of the name Lord Lanke, so he had better hurry up.
He frowned, "In the inner courtyard of this palace, the county lord of Lanke is also a golden branch and jade leaf, and I am an outsider...... I'm afraid it's not convenient, right? β
"Convenient, how can it be inconvenient!" At this moment, the door of the imperial study was pushed open, and a goose yellow shadow ran into the imperial study.
Shen Yu was shocked, "Lan Ke...... Princess? β
"Brother Yu, Ke'er misses you so much, does Brother Jade miss Ke'er?" As soon as the county lord of Lanke went up, he threw himself into his arms, holding his arm affectionately and refusing to let go.
"Well, I want to ......" Shen Yu replied awkwardly, it's weird! He laughed as he pushed the person in his arms out, but he couldn't push!
He was speechless, blaming himself for running too slowly just now, and now he felt bad......
