The Nine Emperor Princes talked to Emperor Zhong Kang for a while, and only returned to the East Palace after receiving the holy decree to transfer Zhao Zhizhou to the household department.

Before leaving the door, Emperor Zhong Kang suddenly stopped him, "Emperor, have you found the person in your dream?" ”

"Found it." The Nine Emperors fixed their heads firmly, their handsome faces with an expression of unprecedented peace. He finally understood that no matter how much he resisted, fate was fate.

"There are so many concubines in the five kingdoms of Kyushu, is it actually Zhao Fusheng's son?" Emperor Zhong Kangdi became interested and asked, "How does he look?" Sure enough, the country is overwhelmed and peerless? "For the legendary tragic love, the young man who loves the overlord like his life, he has been full of curiosity since he was a child. The portrait that was touched to the point of fading naturally has a part to his credit.

The Nine Emperor Princes said frankly, "If it is said that the country and the city will not be overthrown, but in the hearts of the sons, it is naturally peerless." ”

In the eyes of the lover, Emperor Zhong Kang could understand, waved his hand and said, "Take him into the palace another day and let me take a look." ”

"I can see tomorrow that Erchen has removed Zhao Yusong and replaced him with Erchen as a companion. His father was a little nicer to him, but he was a little timid. The Nine Emperors explained cautiously.

Emperor Zhong Kangdi couldn't cry or laugh, and said that his son had a daughter-in-law and forgot his father, so he drove him away angrily. He was mentally prepared for his son to fall in love with the same sex a long time ago, and secretly looked for a young man named Youshu among the people so that he could bring him into the palace to raise him. In this way, the son will not have to suffer from nightmares every day, so that his temper will become more and more eccentric.

Seeing that his son had grown to the age of seventeen or eighteen, and Youshu had not yet been found, he thought that his son would die alone in this life, but fortunately, God had eyes and brought people who had disappeared for more than 600 years to him.

"Zhao Youshu? Meet the legendary man tomorrow. Emperor Zhong Kang raised his forehead and chuckled.

When the Nine Emperor Princes returned to the East Palace, they immediately carefully spread out the scroll that Youshu had given him on the table, lowered his eyes to admire it, and after a while, he ordered, "Pen and ink are waiting." ”

The palace maids and eunuchs standing on both sides immediately prepared pen, ink, paper, and inkstones. This time, the Nine Emperor Princes did not smear the painting, but changed to a piece of pure white rice paper, restoring the beautiful dream scene last night frame by frame. It only took him half an hour to paint seven or eight lifelike white drawings, and he reconciled some color ink, outlining the young man's black hair, jade-white body, spotted red marks, slightly pink eyes and blood-dripping lips.

With the love in his heart, he looked at the pictures covering the desk, and suddenly his cheeks flushed, smoke came out of his head, and his lower body reacted even more violently. He immediately stroked the hem of his clothes, trying to calm the place, but suddenly noticed that the painting under his nose was dripping with many red dots.

He was still stunned, and the palace maid on the side exclaimed, "Your Highness is not good, you have a nosebleed!" The slave will go to the doctor! After she left in a hurry, several eunuchs stepped forward to clean up the nosebleeds for His Highness.

The Nine Emperors hurriedly covered the painting with blank rice paper, pinched his nose tightly, and said with an urn sound, "What's the panic, but the internal fire is heavier, and it will be okay to drink herbal tea for a few nights." Go, call the palace maid back just now, don't make the palace unpeaceful in the middle of the night. ”

Don't you like to make a lot of trouble in the palace? On weekdays, if you have nothing to do, you have to make a three-point thing, so as to vent the depression in your heart, how did you change your sex today? Although he had doubts in his heart, the eunuch did not dare to disobey the order, and hurriedly chased after him.

The Nine Emperors wrung a wet cloth by themselves, cleaned their noses, and hurriedly took a bath, ready to go to bed. He rolled up the paintings one by one, stuffed them into the tent, and found many clips and hung them on the top, so that they could be seen as soon as he lay down.

Last night, he still slept restlessly, but not because of the disturbing nightmare, but because of the surging tide of love. For the first time in his life, he hoped to be immersed in a dream forever and not wake up, and it was also the first time that he felt not fear and hesitation after waking up, but unfulfilled and nostalgic.

If one day this dream can become a reality, don't say that he can't sleep at night, or die in ...... Dying in Youshu's body is also a kind of enjoyment. Thinking of this, the Nine Emperor Princes covered their flushed cheeks and smiled stupidly. Now he is still a noble man in the sky, but he is a young man who is troubled by love, and his life, which was originally like a withered tree, is now full of light, heat and sweetness.

Tonight, he didn't hesitate to go to bed anymore, but hid in the tent before the time came, ready to create another beautiful dream. However, the more he stared at the painting, the hotter his body became, and the place where his spirit could not be dissolved, so he had to cover his face and think wildly, accidentally remembering the kiss that Youshu had stolen.

At the same time, Youshu was catching fireflies in the yard with a few servants. He had a glass bottle tied to his waist, which was glowing little by little, looking like a strange lantern. Wang was playful when his son was playful, and did not stop it, and stood under the corridor to show his son the direction, "Shu'er, look at the other end of the osmanthus tree, there are a lot of them." ”

There is a shu's head, walk over and gently tap between the treetops with a bamboo pole, and sure enough, many green fireflies are flying, which are clearly extinguished, and the floating light is beautiful.

The Wang family and the servants were stunned, but Youshu suddenly became vigilant. He felt that more than a dozen wisps of strange aura suddenly appeared in the courtyard, guarding the main roads one by one, which felt very similar to the secret guards who followed the master in the previous life.

Could it be that the master sent it? He secretly guessed that he would go hunting fireflies again. The little ghost who was restrained by him also immediately reported back the news that there was a stranger invasion, and added, "My lord, there is a woman named Youshu in the East Courtyard, she is a little strange, you must be careful." ”

The woman named Youshu is the "zombie" during the day? Youshu suddenly became nervous. He knew that there should be no zombies in this world, and that woman was probably a monster. Monsters are ten million times more difficult to deal with than ghosts, and they have never encountered them, so they have little experience.

On paper, it is shallow. Although he has read a lot of books on hunting monsters and ghosts, he doesn't have much confidence to put it into practice. The important thing is that he still hasn't figured out the woman's original form, and he doesn't know her weaknesses.

"Do you know where she's coming from?" He used his mental power to communicate with the imp.

"I don't know. She was extremely angry, and she could see ghosts, even if she was a few feet away, she could also feel a great threat, and she didn't dare to approach it. The imp looked ashamed. He has been practicing for nearly a hundred years, but he is still afraid of a woman, which shows that women are not simple.

Youshu waved her hand silently, indicating that she knew. The end times are full of zombies, mutated plants, mutated insects and beasts, and he has long been accustomed to seeing them, but a monster with an unknown background really can't scare him. Come and come, he just continues.

Thinking like this, he continued to catch fireflies in a leisurely manner, gathered two large jars before returning to the house, and waved to the beams of the house, "Come down." ”

There was no movement on the beam for a long time, he took out a piece of rice paper, wrote a few words slowly, and said, "Come down, I have something I want to give to your master overnight." "The concealment methods of these people are very familiar, so familiar that they seem to come from six hundred years ago, and I don't know how the master retained these forces.

A little dust fell on the beams, and a man in black appeared in the room in the blink of an eye, half-kneeling and saluting, but not speaking.

Sure enough, it was the master's manpower. Six hundred years ago he thought it was surveillance, but now he understands that it is actually a form of protection. Youshu thought that no one would love him, but when he looked back, he realized that he had been loved so deeply and so deeply. There was a slight tingling in his heart, he rubbed his chest, rubbed his sore nose again, and said in a muffled voice, "Sue your master, let him sleep well." ”

The man in black answered hurriedly, and fled into the night with the jar and note. Youshu stood by the window and looked at it for a long time, then walked out, set up a few protective arrays at the door of Wang and Zhao Zhizhou's house, and set up a warning array at the door of his room, and then sat by the candle and waited.

In the East Palace, the Nine Emperor Princes were still staring at a few paintings and couldn't sleep, and suddenly heard the slight footsteps outside, and immediately opened the curtain and sat up halfway.

"How did you come back?" He asked in a deep voice.

"Master Qiqi, the little boy ordered his subordinates to send you something." The man in black respectfully handed over the thing in his hand, and was about to look up, but he heard a lazy whisper from above, "It's better not to look at what you shouldn't see." ”

The black-clothed man was stunned, and he hurriedly lowered his head, not realizing that there were many intertwined and lingering pictures pasted in the curtain of the master's tent.

The Nine Emperor Princes were still a little surprised, but when they saw the contents of the jar and the contents of the note, they were only full of joy. He held the jar like a child and refused to let go, and looked at the note again and again, quite hopefully.

"I have limited ability to pick up the stars in the sky, so I can only give you the fireflies on the ground, hoping that you will sleep peacefully and be healthy in the future. In addition, fireflies only have a five-day lifespan, so let them go after a day or two, and there will be a more beautiful scenery in the coming year. ”

Only three or two sentences were written on the note, and the wording was very ordinary, but it made the Nine Emperors' eyes hot and his heart warm. He folded the note and stuffed it into his purse, pressed it under the pillow, and his voice was unconsciously much softer, "Just these two things?" No more? ”

The man in black thought for a moment and said, "Little boy let you sleep well." ”

"Okay, this king will sleep. When you go back, tell him that the king has already laid down, so let him go to bed early. The Nine Emperor Princes immediately turned around and went to bed, even in front of Emperor Zhong Kang, he had never been so well-behaved, and when he saw that the man in black wanted to leave, he said, "How did he find you?" Have you ever expressed dissatisfaction? ”

The man in black arched his hand, "I don't know how the little boy found out about us, and I don't see dissatisfaction." ”

If you are not dissatisfied, that's good. Only then did the Nine Emperors completely relax and wave their hands to send people back, as for how Shu found out about the secret guard, it didn't matter. He carefully covered the curtains, opened the jar, and released the fireflies. Bright green and speckled, it flew and circled in the bright yellow curtain for a while, suddenly fell in the hair, and suddenly stopped in the picture scroll, setting off the originally sultry and unbearable night like a fantasy.

The Nine Emperor Princes always thought that last night was the most beautiful scene he had ever experienced, and only now did he realize that there was more beautiful waiting for him. As Youshu said in the letter, there will be more beautiful scenery in the coming year. As long as he stays by his side, there will always be a more beautiful and magnificent scenery.

The restless mood and the surging tide of love slowly calmed down in the flying streamer, and he unconsciously closed his eyelids and fell into a deep sleep, with an extremely rare smile on the corner of his mouth.

The man in black returned to Zhao's mansion and brought the master's words, and Youshu blew out the candle and went to sleep. The man in black was still a little hesitant, but when he saw him rushing to the top and pointed, as if asking why he hadn't returned to his position, he jumped lightly on the beam.

In the middle of the night, a black shadow flew into Youshu's room, and used sharp claws to lift the curtain. There were more than a dozen secret guards inside and outside the courtyard, but none of them noticed, even the one on the beam of the house did not move, as if they had not seen anything.

The crimson curtain gently lifted a corner, and the black shadow was about to get in, but he saw many bright green points of light rushing towards him, and he was horrified and turned sideways to dodge. Said that it was too late, and then it was too fast, and immediately after the point of light, a cold light appeared, stabbing towards the head of the black shadow, and between the lightning and flint, the black shadow finally saw clearly, the point of light was originally a lot of fireflies, but the cold light was the dagger held by the young man.

How did he know I was coming, and he was ready to fight back? The black shadow was suspicious in his heart, and he dodged a knife in the head and flashed behind the young man, but he was caught by the tail and struck against the wall, and was immediately stabbed in the abdomen, followed by another knife in the head, and then another knife after knife, as fast as lightning, endlessly.

The black shadow didn't know that mortal weapons could pierce his own flesh and skin, and he didn't know what was wrong with the boy, where he didn't stab, but he liked to prick his head, and he was ruthless, as if he wanted to dig out his brain. It was in great pain, frantically dodging, and finally broke free the moment the boy raised his hand, slammed open the window and ran away.

Youshu is not a mutant of strength and speed, and when he is naturally exhausted, he has continuously stabbed hundreds of knives at the limit, and he can no longer hold on. He rubbed his aching wrist and paced slowly around the room. The walls, floor tiles, curtains, and desks were stained with black and red blood everywhere, and there was a foul smell, and there was an invisible aura faintly floating in the air, very similar to the ghost's trick.

No wonder the guards didn't move, presumably confused. He lit the candle, carefully wiped the blood from the dagger with a silk cloth, and tied it back to his leg. This is not an ordinary dagger, but a life-saving weapon given to him by the old man when he went down the mountain, and the handle and blade are engraved with attack runes, which can destroy most of the demons and ghosts in the world.

The demon just now resembles a fox squirrel, like a calf, but its body is not covered with fur, but a layer of carrion that has long been festering, and it looks very terrible. Youshu tried hard to recall the content of "Demon Evil Will" in his mind, but he couldn't find a species similar to it.

What exactly is it? Where are the weaknesses? The brain marrow was stabbed all over the ground by himself, and he still had the strength to escape! Youshu stepped on the red, white and white puddle of meat foam on the ground, her expression was very solemn, and she thought that it had escaped or fled, and maybe she would die halfway, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly drew a few cleaning charms and pasted them all over the room, and the purple fire burned away the bloodstains, rotten meat, and stench from before, as if nothing had happened.

When I woke up the next day, Youshu father and son were called to the main hall by Mrs. Zhao for questioning. Old lady Zhao's face was very gloomy, and under her sat Old Lady Zhao and the second room. Zhao Yusong's eyes were red, and he described him as haggard, as if he hadn't slept all night.

"Come and sit." After the father and son finished saluting, Old Lady Zhao said slowly, "Recently, you have been taking care of the transfer?" ”

Zhao Zhizhou gave his hand, and was about to say that he didn't have to bother his father, so he listened to his instructions, "No need to jump up and down to attract people's eyes, my father has already found an errand for you to reach Yunzhou Zhizhou, and you can leave in a few days." These days, you can stay at home and teach your son well. ”

Yunzhou Zhizhou, that is second only to Shuzhou Zhizhou! The old lady can't wait to distribute the big house! Zhao Zhizhou looked at the triumphant old lady, and then at the second brother with an indifferent expression, and suddenly trembled with anger.

He was about to refute a few words, but a few officials came outside, saying that Zhao Zhizhou's transfer documents had come down, and the emperor ordered him to go to the household department immediately to take up his post. Old lady Zhao took the official document in disbelief, but saw that four big characters were clearly written on it - Hubu Shilang.

From the five-grade Zhizhou to the three-rank household servant, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is on the rise. Due to the frequent urging of the officials, the old lady Zhao was so full of words that she couldn't spit out, so she had to watch the boss walk out with his head held high. Immediately after that, a few eunuchs came outside the house, saying that His Royal Highness the Ninth sent them to invite Zhao Xiaogongzi, and from now on, Zhao Xiaogongzi will be the companion of His Royal Highness the Nine, and he must enter the palace every day.

This time, Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Zhao were even more speechless. They can't disobey His Majesty and His Highness, right? These two are the masters of Xia Qiguo.

Youshu didn't care how ugly the faces of everyone in the hall were, picked up the cage that had been prepared and walked out, but was stopped by Zhao Yusong, who was excited, and cursed in a low voice, "Your Highness is not a master to serve, Zhao Youshu, I am waiting to see what happens to you." ”

Youshu glanced at him faintly, and continued to walk forward. He never paid attention to this kind of indiscriminate biting cats and dogs.

If the young man scolded him, Zhao Yusong might feel better, but the young man turned a blind eye to himself, which made him almost crazy, and chased after him and hurriedly said, "Do you think you are me and Xue Wangjing?" Serving His Highness for more than ten years has nothing to do? Sue you, Xue Wangjing had a life-saving grace for His Royal Highness when he was young, and I am the future husband of Princess Mingzhu, so we can sit firmly in the position of companion. Princess Pearl, do you know? That's the sister-in-law of His Royal Highness's mother's compatriots, as long as she is there, His Highness will not be disgusted with me! ”

The more he spoke, the more he felt that this was the case, and his anxious face couldn't help but ease.

Youshu had already walked outside the second gate, and pointed out without looking back, "Strange, aren't you now disgusted?" ”

Zhao Yusong was so angry that he jumped to his feet, but he couldn't shout in front of the attendants of the East Palace, so he could only grit his teeth and turn around. Over the years, he has relied on his outstanding appearance, a little talent, and the dual identity of the companion of His Royal Highness the Ninth and the princess of Mingzhu, he has been sought after and flattered by others, and his heart has long been spoiled, and he does not allow others to cross half of his own points, and he can't stand the slightest setback.

Once such a person falls, it may be difficult to get up again, so Youshu didn't take him seriously at all.

The group went around the cloister and through the garden, and saw a large number of servants in front of them, and the commotion was very chaotic. Zhao Zhizhou glanced at it from a distance and found that it was his second nephew who was fighting with his daughter-in-law, so he wanted to avoid it. Although Zhao Yulin is the second, he is earlier than Zhao Yusong to get married, because Zhao Yusong has been favored by Princess Mingzhu, and he needs to wait for her and Lu to get married.

Seeing that the second nephew and daughter-in-law finished pulling the ears of the husband and went to pull the hair of a beautiful woman, scolding and scolding in his mouth was very fierce, Zhao Zhizhou already understood what was going on, and hurriedly pulled his son to walk a few steps quickly, so as not to get involved in right and wrong. Youshu looked back as she walked, her expression very solemn.

Based on the smell, he already knew that the monster last night was the woman named Youshu, he thought that she had injured her head and would definitely die, but he didn't expect to see it today, she was not only alive and well, but also undamaged and full of energy. What a terrifying resilience is this? What a profound way to do it?

Youshu's eyes flashed, and the corners of her lips were slightly raised, not only did she not feel afraid, but she was a little excited to try. The first time I met a monster was this special species, and I would definitely be able to practice my hands well. Right now, the monster doesn't know that he can distinguish its human form, but it can be said that the enemy is bright and I am dark, so it is a little more interesting-

Today's court meeting is very unusual, His Royal Highness Gainjiu is standing in the line of the prince with his eyes down, and his expression is very peaceful. He never satirized or teased any courtier, nor did he get angry inexplicably, nor did he throw his sleeves away halfway. At the end of the court meeting, he even stood at the door of the hall, talked to Xue Shizi for a while, and laughed lowly.

Seeing his gentle and shallow smile, the courtiers walked as if they had seen a ghost.

"What kind of elixir did His Highness Nine take today? Standing for an hour at the court meeting? "Someone asked secretly.

"How do I know? Lord Zhu and Master Li were both pinched in the hall, and he didn't like them to be noisy, and helped to say a few words. It's strange, it's really strange. ”

"If you want to be like this every day, Xia Qiguozuo can be saved!"

"yes, yes." This sentence was immediately agreed by many people.

Xue Wangjing followed His Royal Highness the Ninth and walked briskly towards the study, feeling quite complicated. He originally thought that it was a catastrophe for His Highness to fall in love with Shangshu, and in order to please the beauty, he might do something stupid, but now when he looked at it, he suddenly realized that this was a great luck. His Royal Highness has Youshu, he can sleep peacefully at night, and he can be happy during the day, and his mind will be calm unconsciously. Now he is calm and introverted, modest and moderate, but he really has some shadows of the Holy Emperor.

In a moment of thought, he tripped over the steps, and when he looked up, His Highness the Ninth had already walked away, and his steps seemed fast and messy. Today, Shu will come to accompany him, no wonder he can't wait, if he doesn't want Youshu to sleep well, maybe he will send an attendant to Zhao Mansion to pick up people before the court meeting starts.

In the upper study, the seventh prince and the eighth prince were already sitting in their positions to endorse the book, and when they heard the footsteps and looked back, they were so frightened that they almost jumped up. How did the Nine Emperor Brothers come? Over the years, he has been in the study for a slap count, and the main task of Zhao Yusong and Xue Wangjing is just to watch him, don't let him hurt himself, and never accompany him to class seriously.

The sun is coming out in the west today, right?
