"Really?"

Meng Tan seemed to say two helpless words from his heart, and he felt that he didn't seem to have any reason to stay in the palace through this woman.

"Can you tell me about your family?"

Even if Meng Tan knew that Shen Dao's mind was not on glory and wealth at all, he still wanted to know about Lu Dao's affairs about her. In fact, if he found someone to check these things, he would definitely be able to find out, but he just wanted to hear Shen Xiu say it in person.

Lin Yuqing wondered in his heart, even if it was Shen Xiu himself, the things in the family should be the same, and there was really nothing to say, should he make it up?

"Back to the emperor, the slave maid's house is a small household between the market, and some things are just trivial things, and they really can't be taken out, so as not to pollute the emperor's ears."

Lin Yuqing was careful, and without saying a word, he would peek at the emperor's reaction, but the emperor didn't have any big expression on his face, so that she didn't know what she was talking about.

Meng Tan seemed to be just going to chat, and said with a leisurely smile: "It's okay, you, you can tell me about your hometown, or sing a hometown tune, the one you sang last time is very good!" I happened to be tired from watching the song, so I listened to your story or sing, and I just took a break. ”

As soon as Lin Yuqing heard it, the emperor really had to say something to be willing, and in desperation, she thought about it carefully, and remembered the story of Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, plus some of her own wild reverie, and began to tell the rhythm of the story.

"There is a legend in the slave's hometown. It's a story about a woodcutter and a fairy. ”

Lin Yuqing is willing to tell stories and talk to himself. Meng Tan's interest in his heart was even stronger. So he waited for Lin Yuqing to continue.

Lin Yuqing looked at the emperor's expectant eyes, and sighed appointedly in his heart. He continued: "Yes, a long, long time ago, there was a woodcutter who came back to the West Mountain every day to cut wood, and this mountain was the highest mountain within a radius of a hundred miles, and there were many fierce beasts in it, unless it was very necessary. Otherwise, basically no one returns to West Mountain.

However, for this woodcutter, the trees on the west mountain are very lush, and from time to time, he will pick up one or two small animals and go home to make tooth sacrifices. One day, the woodcutter came to the West Mountain again, when he was really chopping wood. I heard a woman's cry for help. He is a person who likes to help people, especially in this rare West Mountain, if he doesn't help this woman, there really will be no one to help her.

Thereupon. He followed the direction of the shout, ran all the way, and ran more than two miles. I saw a big black bear really pounce on a girl in a colorful dress. Without saying a word, he threw out the axe in his hand. The plate axe looked at the forelimbs of the black bear, and only heard the black bear roar. Just as he was about to pounce on the woodcutter, he suddenly fell to the ground.

The woodcutter didn't have time to check the life and death of the black bear, so he hurriedly ran to the girl, checked the injury, and found that it was fine, but due to fright, his body was weak and he couldn't walk at all. So the woodcutter took the maiden home. In the following days, the two fell in love for a long time and became husband and wife. However, one day, the sky was suddenly full of black clouds, and the woodcutter saw the black soldiers standing on top of the black clouds, and said something to ask him to hand over the princess.

The woodcutter only has his wife here, and where is there a princess. Just when he was confronting the heavenly soldiers and generals, suddenly, he was hit in the chest by a divine thunderbolt, and when he was dying, the girl who had become a human wife ran out of the house and told the people in heaven not to hurt her husband, she was willing to return to heaven, just begging, so that her husband could live forever.

The Heavenly General agreed to her request, and then took her back to Heavenly Court. When the woodcutter woke up, he found that his wife was gone, so he returned to the western mountain every day and called out his wife's name. Day after day, year after year, the woodcutter became immortal, but he lost his wife forever. As the years passed, he became a stone statue looking up at the sky, and then waited every day for his wife to return. ”

Lin Yuqing's story, if you want to tell it for a long time, I'm afraid it will really be dawn, but after such a short story, it took a lot of time.

Meng Tan listened to her story very seriously, and even, with Lin Yuqing's words, he seemed to be thinking, but suddenly he asked, "Is that mountain still there?" ”

Lin Yuqing was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Which mountain?" ”

"It's the mountain that the woodcutter turned to stone." Meng Tan said with a smile.

Lin Yuqing suddenly realized, nodded slightly, and said casually: "Yes, of course, otherwise, how could this story have been circulated for so long!" ”

Anyway, it's all nonsense, and Lin Yuqing doesn't worry about talking nonsense again.

Meng Tan nodded, stood up, and said as if he was very accustomed to it: "I am going to rest, since I left you to be on duty tonight, there is a small bed in my small side hall, and when there is nothing to do, you can rest there." ”

Lin Yuqing also thought that the night duty was to stay by his side, and then, when she saw him kicking the quilt, she helped him tuck the quilt, but now it seems that she doesn't have to guard it all the time, which makes her feel a lot easier.

Xiao Song found two palace maids to stay by the emperor's bedside, and Lin Yuqing was the order of the emperor to go to rest in the small side hall, and if there was something to do, he could listen to the rumor at any time.

Because she was worried that the emperor would not know when Lu Dao would come and make a surprise attack, Lin Yuqing did not sleep peacefully this night, and almost fell asleep when it was almost dawn, and she didn't even hear it when the emperor got up and prepared for the last dynasty.

"Xiao Song, you spread the news about Shen Xiu's stay in the palace. I'm going to see how she copes. If she is smart enough to do this properly, then she is the best person to do it. ”

On the way to the court, Meng Tan squinted his eyes, and his smile was like an old fox, watching a little white rabbit scurrying around in the three holes, but he still did not escape his eyes.

Although Xiao Song also felt that Shen Xiu was a little clever, he still couldn't help but worry about the matter that the emperor said was going to be handed over to Shen Xiu to do.

"Your Majesty, that thing is too dangerous, and besides, Shen Xiu is just a little bit better, but he can't do any effort! If you encounter any danger and can't even protect yourself, how can you complete the task? ”

Meng Tan sneered twice and said, "There are some things, as long as you have a good brain, it is enough. Didn't you say that she was brought into the palace by Concubine Yu? Isn't this just the right time to use this identity to pay a good tribute to General Shen. ”

Xiao Song saw that the emperor's attitude was so resolute, and it was useless to know what he said, but it was really not an easy task to make Shen Xiu betray Concubine Yu and use it for them, especially when Shen Xiu wished that she was far away from any trouble, let her agree to take risks, I don't know how many twists and turns.
