※ There was a third update yesterday, so don't forget to see it. On the day after the end, let's vote for all the pros! ※

***************************

At the end of June, Chang'an finally entered the scorching heat of midsummer.

The scorching sun shone on the fortified walls, and the gray-blue stone bricks seemed to be baked by the sun.

Xiao Shiji wore the thick armor of the city gate guards, wore a wide-brimmed straw hat, and held a simple knife in his hand, standing upright next to the city gate.

Emperor Yongchang's Luan was pulled by eight horses and drove slowly.

In front was a cavalry in armor to open the way, and behind was a long line of infantry, as well as palace maids, chamberlains, and imperial relatives, close attendants and favored ministers, as well as these people's subordinates and slaves. Some rode on horses, some sat in carriages, and many slaves and maidservants followed in ox carts.

The group came over in a majestic manner, and the guards at the gate of the city all knelt down on one knee and saluted Emperor Yongchang's Luan.

The people of Daqi, who were watching around the city gate, also knelt down one after another.

Xiao Shiji then knelt down on one knee. He was very tall, and even if he knelt down, he was a lot taller than the people next to him, which was very obvious in the crowd.

Emperor Yongchang's luan drove past in front of him, and the prince's ceremonial ride also passed in front of him.

As soon as the two men's cars drove by, the people around them stood up.

Xiao Shiji also stood up.

But as soon as he stood up, a four-looking car with vermilion and blue clothes stopped not far in front of him.

An attendant rushed over menacingly, pointed at Xiao Shiji's nose and scolded: "You dare to crash into Zhaoyi Niangniang's car? You don't want to live anymore, do you?! ”

If Xiao Shiji is still the Marquis of Zhuguo. Even the chamberlains on the side of Emperor Yongchang didn't dare to yell at him.

But now he is just a small city gate guard, not to mention the internal servant next to Zhaoyi Niangniang, even if he is the county governor of Chang'an County, his official position is not smaller than him, and he can call him around.

Xiao Shiji clenched the Pu knife beside him and glared angrily at the attendant.

"What are you looking at?! Look at gouging out the eyeballs of both of you! The chamberlain snorted arrogantly, pointed to the ground, and said, "Kneel!" ”

Xiao Shi's forehead was bruised, and the hand holding the Pu knife was about to pinch and bleed.

Several tall guards also followed, looking at Xiao Shiji with fierce eyes.

Xiao Shiji gritted his teeth and weakened on one knee. He knelt on the ground again.

"Hmph. Zhaoyi Niangniang is such a golden and noble person, can also be humiliated by a slut like you?! The chamberlain said, and his arm was long, and he snapped on the ground. A slap in the face.

Xiao Shiji instinctively wanted to dodge. But two guards suddenly stepped forward. One left and one right held him, so that he could not move, and let the attendant insult and beat him.

"What are you doing?!" The old guards who were guarding the city gate with Xiao Shi and the others cried out in panic. "Your Majesty and the crown prince are in front of you, is there any royal law in your eyes?!"

"Wang Fa? He bumped into Zhaoyi Niangniang, why don't you ask him if he has a royal law in his eyes?! The attendant shouted, and simply opened his bow left and right, and fanned Xiao Shihe's face.

After slapping his face, the waiter raised his foot and kicked Xiao Shiji's head.

Forget the slap in front, Xiao Shiji can still bear it, but this kick is unbearable? !

Xiao Shiji's head tilted to the side, dodging the flying feet of the chamberlain, with a tiger roar in his mouth, his arms shook, pushing away the two guards who were pressing him, and then Huo Di stood up suddenly, flew up with a kick, and kicked the chamberlain who had beaten him just now.

His kick is much more powerful than the fist embroidered leg of the eggless waiter.

With his kick, I don't know how many Turkic strong men he kicked to death in Mobei back then.

The waiter was kicked in the chest by Xiao Shihe, and his internal organs were immediately crushed, and he flew backwards with a scream, and smashed on the carriage of the Siwang car where Mu Zhaoyi was sitting, and then slipped down from the carriage with a snap. He stretched out his hand, grabbed the soft silk curtain hanging down in front of the Siwang car, called "Zhaoyi Niangniang...... and squirted a mouthful of blood on the carriage as he spoke, his head tilted, and he died on the spot.

Mu Zhaoyi lifted the curtain and saw his henchmen dying under his wheels, and immediately screamed in fright.

The infantry who followed the guard of honor rushed over, all pointing their spears at Xiao Shiji, worried that he would break out and hurt people again.

Mu Zhaoyi got out of the car crying, and helped his palace maid all the way shouting, "Your Majesty, help!" Your Majesty, help! "Rushing towards Emperor Yongchang's Luan in front.

The city gate guards at the south gate were not angry with Xiao Shi and were humiliated, and they also surrounded them, drawing out their swords and confronting these infantry.

Hearing Mu Zhaoyi's cry, the cars of Emperor Yongchang and the crown prince stopped.

One of the generals who accompanied him turned back from the front on horseback, and when he saw the tense saber-rattling here at the city gate, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Another of Mu Zhaoyi's chamberlains hurriedly stepped forward and replied: "General Zhao, this city gate guard suddenly attacked and killed one of our Zhaoyi Niangniang's internal officials, you see——! As he spoke, he pointed to General Zhao and pointed out to the attendant who was kicked to death by Xiao Shi and under the car in Siwang.

General Zhao was stunned, looked at Xiao Shiji and asked, "Xiao ...... What's going on? ”

Xiao Shiji said coldly: "My lord, can't you see the scars on my face that I was beaten by him?" ”

General Zhao frowned more and more when he saw the redness and swelling on Xiao Shiji's face, "What's going on?" He asked, looking at one of his infantrymen.

The waiter beat Xiao Shiji, in full view of everyone, and he couldn't hide it at all.

The infantry said honestly: "It was Mu Zhaoyi's chamberlain who beat Xiao Shiji first, and Xiao Shiji fought back." ”

The two guards who held Xiao Shi and let the chamberlain beat him just now turned pale in fright and quietly hid in the crowd.

"Where are you going?" A city gate guard pushed the two of them out and said to General Zhao, "And them." Just now, they held down Lord Xiao and let the waiter shave his ears! ”

General Zhao understood. This is Mu Zhaoyi repairing Xiao Shiji under the pretext of repairing it. After all, Xiao Shiji killed her father and exiled the whole family. She herself has fallen out of favor for a long time, and now that she has just been favored again, she probably can't wait......

General Zhao was about to turn a big thing into a small thing, when he heard a majestic voice behind him, "Bold!" ”

It turned out that Emperor Yongchang was here, with a pitiful and crying Mu Zhaoyi by his side.

"Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, the people around him just bowed down and saluted this time.

Xiao Shiji also bent over with his chin.

"What's going on here?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also strode over.

Mu Zhaoyi glanced at him quickly, and then quickly lowered his head again.

Emperor Yongchang didn't speak, just put his hands behind his back. looked at Xiao Shiji condescendingly.

Xiao Shiji slowly raised his head. First said to Emperor Yongchang: "I have seen Your Majesty." Then he said to the prince: "I have seen His Royal Highness the prince." ”

General Zhao also came over to salute and said, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince, is this the case......" He was about to continue, but was preempted by Mu Zhaoyi. She cried and said, "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty. Xiao Shiji has always looked down on his concubines. This time, just because the concubine's car was a little slower, he had no one in his sights. kicked all the concubines' chamberlains to death in the street...... This person is really mad, begging His Majesty to punish him severely! As he spoke, he knelt down to Emperor Yongchang.

Xiao Shiji didn't look at her, only looked at Emperor Yongchang and said: "Your Majesty, Mu Zhaoyi's chamberlain beat his subordinates for no reason, and the ministers had to fight back, otherwise they would be beaten to death by him on the street!" As he spoke, he pointed to his face and said, "The redness and swelling on this face are still there!" Everyone around you can see it clearly! ”

After Xiao Shiji finished speaking, the surrounding crowd really clamored, all shouting for Xiao Shihe, and even General Zhao said: "Your Majesty, it is indeed Zhaoyi Niangniang's inner servant who provokes trouble first!" ”

Emperor Yongchang snorted and said coldly: "Stir up trouble first? Why didn't he pick on others, and pick Xiao Shiji?! It can be seen that Xiao Shihe is a domineering person, even if he is demoted to the city gate guard, he does not repent, and still thinks that he is still the Marquis of Zhu Guoguo, and he can do whatever he wants! ”

When Xiao Shiji heard this, his heart suddenly cooled.

Even his brothers who guarded the gates were red-eyed.

Seeing this, the prince hurriedly came out and said, "Father, it's too hot this day, let's get in the car quickly." If you drag it any longer, it will be even hotter. As for Xiao Shiji, he was disrespectful to Zhaoyi Niangniang, and his father fined him twenty military sticks. After all, he was also slapped so much. ”

Emperor Yongchang nodded, "You can dispose of it." As he spoke, he turned around and took Mu Zhaoyi's hand and took her to his Luan.

Mu Zhaoyi lowered his head, and a sneer flashed on his lips.

After Emperor Yongchang and Mu Zhaoyi left, the crown prince sank his face and said coldly: "Xiao Shiji, you are not small!" Dare to kill the servant on the street, do you think Lone will not dare to do anything to you? ”

Xiao Shihe bowed slightly, and said lightly: "Xiao is here, if you want to fight or kill, listen to it!" ”

"You ——!" The prince was choked so lightly that he flicked his sleeves and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "Okay, loneliness will fulfill you!" - Someone, beat Xiao Shi and the forty military sticks! ”

"Whoa!" The prince's guards rushed over, knocked Xiao Shiji down on the spot, picked up his military stick, and beat him fiercely at the city gate.

Xiao Shiji lay on the ground, biting the corners of his mouth, his hands clenched into fists, and without saying a word, he let a military stick fall on his back, and he quickly fainted......

"I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare Lord Xiao!"

"I beg His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to spare Lord Xiao!"

Whether it was the onlookers, the guards at the city gate, or even the infantry and cavalry that Emperor Yongchang was going to bring out of the city this time, they all knelt down and pleaded with Xiao Shiji.

The prince snorted coldly, brushed his sleeves and turned around and said, "Offending the dignity of the heavenly family, the crime is unforgivable!" - Just beating him with a military stick is cheaper for him, what else do you want? Want to rebel?! As he spoke, he also walked to his big car, lifted his feet and got into the car.

After the beating of the forty military sticks, the prince's guards hurriedly stopped, turned on their horses, and caught up with the prince's chariot.

The people who followed Emperor Yongchang to Renzhi Palace to hunt and escape the summer followed one after another.

The crowd at the gate sighed and shook their heads, and they scattered and went back to their homes.

Xiao Shiji was carried back to the small courtyard of his camp by several brothers who guarded the city gate.

Hu Po, the wife of the old protector Hu Bo, was entrusted by everyone to come and take care of him.

This night, Xiao Shiji had a high fever and was unconscious, but he didn't say anything except the word "frost".

Xiao Shiji's body was in good shape, and he had a high fever the next day.

Hu Bo came to see him, bit his cigarette pouch and persuaded: "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, you are no longer the Marquis of Zhuguo, and you can't fight those nobles in the palace." Can you bear with it. ”

Xiao Shiji lay on the bed and sneered: "Can I bear it?" I've been kicked into the mud by them, and I still bear it? They might as well take a knife and chop me up! ”

Hu Bo clicked his cigarette pouch and said for a while: "It seems that Mu Zhaoyi is looking for you to take revenge." ”

"Anyone with eyes can see it, but I don't believe that His Majesty and the prince can't see it. They just deliberately broke my face! Xiao Shihe gritted his teeth. What he hates the most is not that Mu Zhaoyi deliberately found fault, but that he knew that Mu Zhaoyi, a slut, was finding fault, but deliberately protected her Emperor Yongchang and the crown prince!

"Mu Zhaoyi is a person under His Majesty, of course he has to protect her face. It's not you, just sweep her face in front of so many people. You have to know that you kicked Mu Zhaoyi's chamberlain to death in front of so many people, in fact, you were also slapping His Majesty in the face. Your Majesty should be able to speak for you. Hu Bo said lightly, "You see, if my mother-in-law quarrels with others, no matter whether she is right or wrong, I have to stand on her side, and I can't lose her face in front of outsiders." ”

Xiao Shiji was stunned for a while, and then said, "...... I see. ”

"Of course. Men, although they are doing big things outside, but these big things are not for the glory of the ancestors and the sealing of their wives and sons? - If you think about it, is that the case? Huber stood up, "You can rest, you don't have to stand guard these days, the boss has already assigned your shift to others, you are so alive." I've sent a message to your steward, and he'll be bringing Lang Zhong over soon to help you see your injuries. ”

Xiao Shi thanked Uncle Hu and Po Hu, lay on the bed by himself, silently thinking about Uncle Hu's words, and the thoughts in his heart involuntarily flew to Du Hengshuang.

He found himself thinking about her, thinking about her like crazy.

But he can't do anything, he can't do anything, he can't do anything but stay up here every day......

Renzhi Palace, which is more than 100 miles away from Chang'an City, ushered in the first batch of people to move in since it was built.

Emperor Yongchang looked up at this palace, which only took more than a month to build, and was very satisfied, and nodded again and again: "It's really natural, master's hand, master's hand!" ”

Mu Zhaoyi watched from the side with a smile, and suddenly covered her chest and vomited, and immediately felt dizzy, and hurriedly supported the palace maid beside her.

"What's wrong with Zhaoyi Niangniang?" Seeing this, the palace maid hurriedly smiled and deliberately asked loudly.

Mu Zhaoyi frowned, shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, don't talk nonsense, be careful to scare Your Majesty." ”

"What's wrong with Concubine Ai?" Emperor Yongchang also noticed Mu Zhaoyi's strange appearance, and hurriedly said, "What about the imperial doctor?" Come over and check Zhaoyi's pulse! ”

When the emperor travels, the imperial doctor is of course with him.

An imperial doctor immediately came over and welcomed Mu Zhaoyi to the side hall next to him.

It didn't take long for the imperial doctor to come out with a happy face and bow his hand to Emperor Yongchang: "Congratulations to Your Majesty!" Congratulations to Your Majesty! - Zhaoyi Niangniang is happy! ”
