Chapter 40: Temptation
From this junction, there are many small roads, Huamu Village on the left and Jiahe Village on the right, and it is said that a river flows from the city to their village.
In the front left is Cui Zhuang, and most of the people in the whole village have Cui as their surname. In front of you on the right is called the migrant village, where the refugees have made their homes. There are also a number of villages in the surrounding area, which are not directly connected, but all of them have access to the city by these roads.
So this intersection is really lively, and there is an endless stream of people going into the city to buy, sell, and do things. Someone opened a small tea room here for people to rest for tea, and business is booming.
I negotiated with the store to stay here for two days, and the store didn't care, but the store didn't live here at night. As soon as the gates were closed, there would be no more visitors, and the shopkeeper told them to be careful at night.
Inside the Imperial Palace Fengluan Palace.
"The mother concubine has been fine recently, the child is not filial, I will visit the mother in the next few days, and ask the mother to punish her." Chu Jingye was dressed in a gorgeous royal robe, and knelt on the ground respectfully to greet Concubine Shu.
"Come on, I'm already very happy that you can come to the concubine." Concubine Shu slowly stood up with her weak body and helped Chu Jingye up with her own hands.
There was a faint sadness in his eyebrows, "Your mother's affairs, I have pleaded with your father, and in a few days, your father's anger will disappear, and the mother will ...... again."
Before Concubine Shu finished speaking, Chu Jingye interrupted her, "There is only one mother of the child, and that is you, the concubine." As for Concubine Zhao, since the moment she ruthlessly didn't want me when she was a child, she was no longer the mother of the child. ”
Chu Jingye's tone was firm, and there was no more affection between his words and Concubine Zhao.
Concubine Shu Guifei looked worried and said, "Jing Ye, Concubine Zhao is still your mother after all, how can you be so ruthless?" Even though she has some misunderstandings about her mother, this qiē is all for you. ”
In the face of Concubine Shugui's accusation, Chu Jingye was still firm, and his tone was even colder: "Mother, you are just too soft-hearted, so that the evildoer let it go so far, and actually poisoned the mother." Concubine Zhao is just for herself, she didn't want a child at the beginning, but now that the child has grown up, do you want the child to honor her? There is no such thing as cheap! ”
Chu Jingye gritted his teeth with hatred, his expression was stubborn, as if he would never forgive Concubine Zhao again. Concubine Shu said distressedly: "Jing Ye ......"
On that day, the child knelt in front of the palace of nourishing the heart, only afraid that his father would be angry with his mother because his mother raised the son of Zhao Concubine, but fortunately, his father did not blame his mother. In the past few days, Jing Ye has no face to see his mother, but fortunately, his mother is fine. ”
Chu Jingye was full of shame, and Concubine Shu said movingly: "Silly boy, it's really difficult for you." ”
After Chu Jingye left, Concubine Shu's loving expression disappeared immediately, and she said lightly, "Jin Fan, do you think he really doesn't know." ”
With the cleverness of King Han, he will definitely find some clues in the poisoning incident of Concubine Shu this time, and the palace maid Jin Fan said in a deep voice: "Even if His Royal Highness King Han knows something, this qiē is all willingly done by Concubine Zhao, and she can't blame Niangniang." Over the years, His Royal Highness King Han still has some affection for Niangniang, and today he has expressed his attitude to be Niangniang's son, and Niangniang does not need to worry. It's just that Concubine Zhao still needs to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. ”
Concubine Shu sighed, "If it is really except for Concubine Zhao, I am afraid that the only little affection between this palace and him will be gone." ”
Jin Fan said in a panic: "Niangniang? ”
Concubine Shu smiled bitterly, as if laughing at herself, and said: "Jin Fan, you said that if he really ignores his biological mother for his own interests, should I be happy, or should I be happy." ”
Jin Fan lowered his head and didn't dare to answer again.
The sunlight hits the crystal curtain, reflecting on the ground like broken glass. Concubine Shu looked at the door with a lazy expression, looked at the fragments all over the ground and said lightly: "Should I be glad that he chose this palace as his mother." ”
Coming out of the Fengluan Palace, Chu Jingye met Zhang Zhen, the commander of the forbidden army who had just come out of the imperial study. The two faced each other, and Zhang Zhen stepped forward and saluted, "His Royal Highness King Han." ”
Chu Jingye nodded and said, "Commander Zhang has been busy chasing fugitives recently, it's really hard, I don't know what happened to enter the palace this time?" ”
Zhang Zhen smiled, "Where is the duty of the minister, why do you have to work hard." Today, the emperor summoned his ministers to come, or to hunt down the Qin doctor. ”
"Didn't my father open the city gates, I'm afraid that they would have already escaped from the city, so how could he let the commander chase them again?"
Zhang Zhenpi didn't smile, and said: "The prince doesn't know, the two of them are very capable, and the ministers have searched the entire Qianning City, but they have not been found. Although the emperor has ordered the city gate to be opened, I am afraid that they are not in a hurry to leave. ”
Zhang Zhen had something to say, and Chu Jingye couldn't help but look at this very deep leader of the city government.
Zhang Zhen suddenly slashed with his palm, and the sharp palm wind shook the broken hair on his forehead and temples. Chu Jingye didn't move, and his sharp palm stopped half a centimeter in front of him.
The thick palm covered the lower half of Chu Jingye's face, Zhang Zhen smiled and said, "Forgive the minister for offending, Weichen just thinks that His Highness has covered his face, and his eyes are somewhat similar to the man in black who helped them escape that night, so he can't help but want to take a look." ”
Chu Jingye remained motionless and said, "Does that commander feel like or not?" ”
Zhang Zhen put down his palm and did not answer, but said: "Just a pair of eyes can't determine a person, what does it matter if he looks like or not, Your Highness, are you right?" ”
Chu Jingye said lightly: "Since this is the case, why should the commander look at it." ”
"Hahaha......" Zhang Zhen suddenly laughed, "Once people have an idea, they want to go to great lengths to confirm it." Wei Chen is a martial artist, and naturally he can't escape doing such stupid useless work, which makes His Royal Highness laugh. ”
As the commander of the forbidden army, Zhang Zhen only does things for the emperor, although the princes have a heart, this commander can't see half of it. His actions today made Chu Jingye wonder, did he not expose him because of insufficient evidence, or did he open up to him?

As night fell, the gates were closed. Qin Leling took a few strings of bells and bolted them to the trees on both sides of the road and blocked the road.
According to her, when someone comes at night, they will stumble on this line and the bell will ring so that they will not miss out with the second master.
She felt that she was getting more and more witty, and threw the bell in her hand to her senior brother for a string, and a few more were foolproof.
Qin Muqing felt that this idea was not very comprehensive, so if ordinary people passed by, wouldn't they fall badly?
This statement was immediately denied by the junior sister, as long as it was normal people at night, no one would come.
It turns out that there are many kinds of emergencies, and natural circumstances are a factor that cannot be controlled.
In the evening, the wind and clouds suddenly rose, and the bells blown by the strong wind could not stop shaking, and the crisp sound came one after another.
Qin Muqing said: "Ling'er, it seems that people are not as good as heaven." ”
Qin Leling reluctantly untied the bell that had been tied for a long time, but if he didn't understand, he couldn't sleep tonight.
I can't help but wonder how the bells are all around in the martial arts TV series to prevent outsiders from trespassing or enemy sneak attacks, how do they play the function of detecting outsiders? This is very demanding for the environment, usually windy, rainy, hail or other bells will ring.
