Chapter 60: The Beginning of Sin (3)
On the first night of their arrival at the palace, they were personally received by His Royal Highness Xiao Yuhuan, the current crown prince, and were arranged to live in an inn controlled by the prince - Yunshang Restaurant. Yunshang Restaurant can be said to be one of the largest restaurants in the capital. There is not only a wine room for guests to drink, but also a tea room for sobering people, and a room for guests to stay. In fact, there is another little-known place in this Yunshang Restaurant, which is the entertainment room. There is no such place in a general inn, and at most it is a dormitory and a wine room. Therefore, this entertainment room is naturally only accessible to the children of rich families and royal nobles. Now, Xuan Zhuyi and the others were arranged by the prince Xiao Yuhuan in such a high-end inn. In this magnificent Yunshang Restaurant, which is comparable to the concubine's dormitory in the palace, Xuan Zhuyi, who has never entered the palace, also looks a little confused. Yu Cihe didn't react like Xuan Zhuyi and the others, and still remained silent, but a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. The six of them were taken directly to the dormitory by a person with an unknown surname but slightly richly dressed, and everyone speculated that this should be a servant of the crown prince Xiao Yuhuan. When they first met, there was almost no verbal communication, this person seemed to know Xuanzhuyi and a few people, and waited there early, and when he saw six people, he greeted them directly, stretched out his hand, waved his sleeves, and led the six people into this Yunshang Restaurant with a single step. The six of them followed and stopped in front of a dormitory called "Xiangsu" in Yunshang Restaurant. The man leading the way stood on one side by the door of the dormitory, stretched out his hand, gently tapped the door with his knuckles, and after three rhythmic knocks, his regular hands were folded on the lower abdomen, slightly bent over, his eyes slightly closed, looked at the ground, and stood sideways by the door. Half an hour later, there was a crisp cough from inside the door, followed by a steady footsteps. The door of Xiangsu was opened from the inside, and a plainly dressed woman opened the door, maintaining the same standing posture as the servant who led Xuan Zhuyi and the others outside the door, but her eyelids were quietly raised, but she never looked into the eyes of Xuan Zhuyi and the others. It's just that the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he said softly: "A few distinguished guests, please come in, the son has been waiting for a long time." With that, he turned sideways to vacate an open space where only one person was allowed to pass. Xuan Zhuyi and a few people bowed slightly, and entered the incense house one after another. After everyone entered, the plain-clothed woman also withdrew sideways from the Xiangjuku, reflexively closed the door of the Xiangjuku, and stood on the other side of the Xiangsu door corresponding to the servant.
Xuan Zhuyi and the others, who entered Xiangsu, seemed to have entered a miniature version of Yunshang Restaurant. Because in the eyes of everyone, the furnishings in this Xiangsu are completely a small version of Yunshang Restaurant. It's just a dormitory, but it's all available. What a wine room, an entertainment room, there is also everything in it. When you first enter Kadojuku, it is a passageway, but it is a very spacious passageway. At the end of the aisle, there are also brightly colored veils blocking it, which gives people a sense of mystery. However, the people who crossed the veil were also really startled by the sight in front of them. In ancient times, there was a saying "wine pond meat forest". "Han Feizi Shuolin" and "Yu Heng Yu Zeng" recorded that the king of Shang "wine pond meat forest" and "long night drink". There is also "Historical Records: Yin Benji": "Da Yan music plays in the sand dunes, (纣) with wine as the pool, the county (hanging) meat as the forest, so that men and women are naked in the meantime, for the long night of drinking." Therefore, later generations often use "wine pond meat forest" to describe the luxury of life and indulgence. The tyranny of the Shang dynasty, combined with alcoholism, eventually led to the demise of the Shang dynasty. The Zhou Dynasty also issued a strict ban on alcohol in the gathering places of merchants. There is also "Jin Shu Jiang Tong Biography": "In the last days, those who lose luxury, the emperor has a Yaotai Qiong room, a jade cup like a chopstick, and the treasure of food is a bear and a leopard fetus, and a wine pond meat forest." At that time, the words used by later generations to describe the extravagant life of the king of Shang seem to be a true portrayal of the current situation of Yunshang Restaurant and the current prince Xiao Yuhuan for some reason. The surprise of everyone was not only the surprise of what Yunshang Restaurant had, but more importantly, the shock of the wealth and power of the current crown prince Xiao Yuhuan. It's just a prince, or just became a prince, and he already has such a huge restaurant, which is comparable to the decoration of the palace dormitory. If you think about it this way, you must have had it before he became the crown prince. At that time, the power was already so powerful, not only able to encircle the powerful people in the court, but also to hide their ambitions in the troubled times, with a hand of intrigue and trickery, but he was still praised and praised for virtue and occupied the position of the prince. I have to say that Xiao Yuhuan played a good hand of chess, but he did not walk frighteningly. Now, although there are people who support the former crown prince His Royal Highness Xiao Shuyu, Xiao Yuhuan's power can no longer be underestimated. In the "Jiuchi Meat Forest", in the "Ten Thousand Flowers", a handsome-looking and graceful man in plain clothes and long yarn walked towards Xuan Zhuyi and others with Lingbo-like steps. The man in such a dreamlike scene was already very delicate, but now that he was set off again, Xuan Zhuyi and the others seemed to have seen the people in the sky, and they were stunned for a while. But he was so polite and personable, but in Yu Tzu-hyuk's opinion, he felt surprisingly contrived and disgusting.
"I'm afraid it's just a contrived appearance. What is the most poisonous woman's heart, the guy who is different from the outside is the real disgusting. This whisper was heard by Shang Ling beside him, and Shang Ling hurriedly stretched out his hand and quietly pulled Yu Cihe's sleeve, and said softly: "Don't the people in the palace understand these etiquette?" Yu Cihe stopped speaking, and followed Xuan Zhuyi and a few people to salute to greet the current crown prince Xiao Yuhuan, who came step by step, but what happened behind her, what Xiao Yuhuan said, she didn't hear a word, but when she came back to her senses, she was already sitting in a very bright dormitory. She thought back to her experience before the chaos and thought of what Shang Ling had said. After thinking about it carefully, Shang Ling's words were explaining that Xiao Yuhuan's behavior was in accordance with the etiquette in the palace, and he was also persuading Yu Cihe not to say what was in his heart, after all, it was in other people's territory, and he was careful that the wall had ears. Yu Tzu-hyuk sighed lightly and was about to get up, when he heard footsteps outside the door, and then there was a rhythmic, very light knock on the door.
Yu Cihyuk silently looked at the door and asked softly, "Who?"
The person outside the door seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Uh...... Belch...... It's me! Yu Jihyuk! I'm Shang Ling! ”
Yu Tzu-hyuk: "...... Well...... Is there something wrong? ”
Shang Ling: "I...... I'll ......."
"Come in." Without waiting for Shang Ling to explain, Yu Tzu Hyuk interrupted Shang Ling's words and turned around and sat down at a tea table in the dormitory. Shang Ling pushed open the door and walked in slowly, turned around and closed the door gently, and then walked straight to the tea table where Yu Cihe was sitting, and said with a slight smile: "Hey, hey...... Yu Tzu Hyuk...... You"
Yu Tzu Hyuk reached out and picked up a cup of tea and put it to his lips and said, "Sit." Then he took a gentle sip of tea. Shang Ling was a little at a loss, but he still sat down.
"Drink tea." Yu Tzu Hyuk reached out and picked up another cup of tea and handed it to Shang Ling. Although Shang Ling was confused, he still took a drink and drank it all.
"That's not how tea is tasted."
"Uh...... Just right...... Thirst...... Ha ha! Thirst. ”
"You're here for today's business, aren't you?" Yu Cihe's unsuspecting words stunned Shang Ling for a moment.
"Today...... Today......" Shang Ling sighed and continued, "Hey~ Yu Cihe, don't you know? In front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, do you want to cause death? ”
"If you cause any trouble, it won't involve you, and it has nothing to do with Lingxian Pavilion."
"What do you mean by that?" Shang Ling stood up and looked at Yu Cihe, "Are we people who are afraid of trouble?" We've been together for so long, can't we even take on this kind of thing together? ”
“…… Is your word a reminder to me today? ”
"That's right! Didn't I remind you, what am I telling you to do that? ”
"But what you say seems to have two meanings."
"Two meanings? What do you mean? ”
"It is not only to explain that Xiao Yuhuan's behavior is in accordance with the etiquette in the palace, but also to persuade me not to say what is in my heart, after all, it is in other people's territory, be careful that the wall has ears."
Shang Ling didn't say anything for a long time, and only nodded after a while: "It is worthy of being the person next to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and he is really very thorough about these words."
"So you're admitting?"
"Why don't you dare admit it?"
"You reminded me, and I am so grateful to you. It's just that there is something wrong with this, the words of etiquette. ”
"What's the problem?"
"Scratching your head and posing is not the etiquette in the palace, and the wine pond and meat forest are not the palace etiquette."
"Heh~" Shang Ling sneered, "Sure enough, now he has begun to protect and guard the palace?" ”
“…… It's not early today, so you might as well go back and rest early. ”
"Humph! Drive me away? ”
Yu Cihe looked at Shang Ling's expression as if he was a little confused, so he lowered his eyebrows, raised his eyes, and transferred his strength to his hand. With a fierce shot, he grabbed the back of Shang Ling's neck. The index finger, middle finger and thumb, three fingers are working hard together, and they are pressing down on an acupuncture point on the back of Shang Ling's neck. Shang Ling immediately went limp, and Yu Tzu He reached out to catch him, so that he didn't collapse straight to the ground. As Shang Ling fell unconscious, a black mass silently left the ground and slipped out of Yu Cihyuk's dormitory. When this thing left, Yu Tzu Hyuk was busy dealing with Shang Ling's problems, so he didn't pay any attention to the traces of this black thing. Although Yu Tzu Hyuk didn't notice it, there were other people who watched all this clearly, but they were hiding in the dark, and like these black things, they couldn't see the light.
