Chapter 397: Lake Center Pavilion
Sure enough, immediately after going down to court, she received a message from an unknown chamberlain asking her to go to the Imperial Garden. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Yue Yi also want to be together. Meng Shichen was not surprised at all, the crime on Guo Jiaming's face was gone, but the real incident was not resolved.
The whereabouts of He Shibi, who the emperor was most concerned about, were still unresolved, and the real crisis she faced had just begun.
Meng Shichen and Yue Yi walked side by side, passing through the carved palace buildings towards the Imperial Garden. These buildings are not as gorgeous and magnificent as they are seen in the TV series, but the majestic momentum cannot be hidden.
She was very puzzled about why Zhao Kuangyin had arranged such a secret conversation in an open-air place like the Imperial Garden. Moreover, the chamberlain didn't mean to let Bu Zhihuo come together, Meng Shichen always felt weird.
"......" Meng Shichen opened his lips and wanted to ask Yue Yi next to him.
But as soon as she turned her face sideways, she saw the latter twisting her eyebrows and pursing her lips, and she couldn't ask immediately. At this time, Yue Yi's thoughts were only more complicated than her, Meng Shichen turned his head and continued to move forward silently.
She gathered her mind and thought about He's Bi several times, and then she observed the surroundings with confidence and unassuming.
"Here, sir, please." The attendant in front of her suddenly whispered a word to her, and then, the attendant under the cloister used just the right voice to pass towards the rockery, and there was an immediate response from the other side.
Meng Shichen subconsciously looked over the rockery, and saw that the layout of this place was not only not gorgeous, but even very elegant.
Small bridges and flowing water, courtyards and lakes, and many beautifully trimmed flowers are competing in the sun. When his eyes touched the bright yellow figure in the Huxin Pavilion, Meng Shichen suddenly understood.
It's really more appropriate and safer to talk here than in a room.
Everything is transparent, no worries about the partition wall having ears. However, the structure of the lake-center pavilion, which is not connected to the sky and the ground, makes the conversation a "secret" that can be seen but not heard. There are guards all around, so naturally I am not afraid that anything will leak out.
Meng Shichen narrowed his eyes, and then nodded quietly to the waiter and walked over.
"Be careful when you talk in front of the emperor later, the emperor hasn't been in a good mood lately." When Yue Yi was turning, he squeezed Meng Shichen to the side of the rockery and said softly. His voice was very low, and no one could hear it at all except Meng Shichen himself.
Meng Shichen unexpectedly didn't stiffen his lips with Yue Yi this time, but nodded very seriously to show that he remembered his reminder.
There is no way, this is the first time she has faced the emperor at close range, and she has no experience in maneuvering, so she will never be wrong to listen to Yue Yi's words. In the early dynasties, they were all made for the ministers to see, and the main drama is here.
I'm afraid that if I am a little careless, I will really lose my head and not be able to go home......
She finally got a lot of luck and got the "homecoming treasure" given by Chen Tuandao! I haven't figured out how to use it yet, but don't throw your life here in vain. Meng Shichen came here as a whole person, and there was only one life, and she cherished it very much.
Seeing her put on such an obedient attitude, Yue Yi couldn't help but be secretly stunned. When did this little Nizi, who has never dealt with herself much, change sex?
Come to think of it, he didn't have a chance to ask. Because the figure in the Huxin Pavilion had already looked at them, his face was warm and plain, and his eyebrows were high, revealing the demeanor of an emperor who ruled the country through the world.
The gray beard hangs down to the chest, and under the wrinkles is a mind that no one can see.
"I've seen the emperor in my humble position!" Yue Yi stood on the edge of the Huxin Pavilion and saluted Zhao Kuangyin, and almost at the same time, he glanced at Meng Shichen beside him from the corner of his eye, and motioned for her to salute.
Meng Shichen also has a seven-trick exquisite heart, and she doesn't need Yue Yi to remind her that she has already fallen generously with the etiquette she just learned this morning: "The people's daughter Meng Shichen has seen the emperor!" The breezy tone was just right.
At this time, she also noticed that Bu Zhihuo was standing by Zhao Kuangyin's side. However, his feet were inconvenient, and he was supported by his attendants.
"What's going on with He's Bi?" Zhao Kuangyin didn't even bother to say the word "free courtesy", and directly asked about He's Bi. Meng Shichen was stunned for a moment, and found that there were only four people in the Huxin Pavilion at this time.
Bu Zhihuo, Zhao Kuangyin, Yue Yi, and her.
The chamberlain who was supporting Bu Zhihuo just now also let go and left, and the nearest chamberlain was also on the side of the rockery on the shore, no less than 20 zhang away from here. Bu Zhihuo knelt on the futon that had been prepared long ago, and his plain robe lined him like an immortal who could not enter the world.
Meng Shichen saw that Zhao Kuangyin's face was soft and gentle just now, and he thought that he would symbolically say something else. But also, the people agreed to let her come to the palace for the sake of He's family.
"Back to the emperor, here's how it ......" Meng Shichen took a deep breath and told the words that had been brewing in his heart before without delay.
Zhao Kuangyin sat in the pavilion and listened without saying a word, although he was drinking tea, his eyes never left Meng Shichen's eyes. Only the occasional squint of his eyes showed that his heart was fluctuating at this time.
Meng Shichen's explanation is actually very simple, she connects the strange things in Zizhou with the new Wumen and the He family. Focusing on the new Wumen's preparation to use He's Bi to open the gate to the underworld, it narrates the suffering of the people and the importance of Heshibi sealing the entrance to the underworld.
In the end, she made no secret of saying that after the rise and fall of the Heshi Bi in the past dynasties, in fact, the spiritual power hidden in the jade has long been soaked in the resentment of the human heart and the undead.
"Your Majesty, He's Bi is no longer the treasure that can bring auspiciousness. It can open and seal the entrance to the underworld, and it is precisely because of the excessive amount of evil qi absorbed in the jade for thousands of years that it has been unable to suppress the evil and maintain the righteousness of heaven and earth. Therefore, the folk girl let her belongings be used to the fullest extent and chose to bury them in the most suitable way. ”
After Meng Shichen finished speaking, there was a long silence in the Huxin Pavilion. Xia Worm was noisy in the green tiles on the pavilion, and after a long time, Zhao Kuangyin turned his gaze to Bu Zhihuo.
The latter did not speak, but nodded solemnly. Meng Shichen was overjoyed, did this pass? She secretly glanced at Yue Yi next to her, but found that the other party's face was even more ugly than just now.
Why?
Meng Shichen was puzzled, when Zhao Kuangyin suddenly spoke: "Meng Shichen, I have also heard of the disaster in Zizhou. But don't try to cheat you. I have also heard about the new Wumen getting rid of the entire Juying faction. ”
"Now that you say that you have destroyed the New Witch Gate, how did you not spend a single soldier to destroy it? Yue Yi, you also want to follow her to deceive the king? Zhao Kuangyin glanced at Yue Yi with an indifferent expression, not angry and arrogant.
Yue Yi subconsciously hung his head, but he couldn't say a word. The atmosphere became very oppressive at this moment, Meng Shichen swallowed his saliva, but in the corner of his eyes, he saw Bu Zhihuo lightly hook his lips.
