Chapter 48

The shopkeeper beckoned a little guy to come over and said to the little guy, "You go to the sample room, find a summer ready-to-wear according to the shape of this boy, and bring it over." ”

The little guy immediately ran to the sample room.

After a while, the little servant came over with a wooden drawer, on which was placed a lake-blue garment with not very elaborate patterns.

The shopkeeper took the wooden drawer handed over by the servant, and said with a smile on the side: "The sample clothes have always been just for display, so the pattern is not very complicated, and the workmanship is rough, I hope the son will forgive me." ”

Zhuang Shanfang, who was standing beside Liu Yi, paid the money and took the drawer in the shopkeeper's hand.

After the shopkeeper left, Xu Yuanyuan and Zhuang Shanfang dragged Liu Yi to the changing room.

Xu Yuan sent Liu Yi in, stood outside the door, shyly turned his back to Liu Yi in the changing room and said: "I am not related to you, a big man changes clothes, if I am inside, I am afraid it will damage the reputation of the two of us, I have nothing to do, but if it stains your reputation, it will not be good." ”

Liu Yi laboriously took off his clothes with one hand, and said, "That's too, you can wait outside." After speaking, he instructed Zhuang Shanfang to close the door of the changing room.

Zhuang Shanfang did not rush to help Liu Yi take off his coat, but said softly: "Your Majesty, the assassin just now didn't catch it, but he left something that looks like a token. ”

After speaking, Zhuang Shanyi took out a brown wooden plaque engraved with intricate patterns from his sleeve and secretly handed it to Liu Yi.

Liu Yi took the thing that Zhuang Shanfang secretly handed over, and he immediately did not pick up the wooden card, but looked around first. From the side of the door, it has been tightly blocked by Zhuang Shanfang's sturdy body, and there are no gaps in the walls on both sides to peek into. He put the sign in the way he didn't want anyone to know that he knew it existed.

Liu Yi touched the wooden sign with his fingers, the original edges and corners were rounded, and the lowest part of each stripe seemed to be on a line, the whole touch was very smooth and smooth, the workmanship was very fine, and the outside was wrapped with a layer of pulp, and a layer of gold was wrapped outside the hole of the needle, and the edge of the gold was very thin, directly linked to the wooden card.

The workmanship of this wooden plaque is not very simple, and the organization behind the masked assassin just now is certainly not simple.

Liu Yi frowned and thought deeply, it didn't seem that the arrow just now was originally aimed at him, but if it was aimed at Xu Yuan, it would be even more unreasonable, Xu Yuanyuan was just an ordinary play, there was no need to die next time.

In order to solve this mystery, it is necessary to find out the organization behind it.

Liu Yi asked casually: "Which organization does this thing come from, do you know?" ”

Zhuang Shanfang lowered his head and looked at the wooden card in Liu Yi's hand carefully, pondered for a moment before saying: "I have never seen it before when I was in the rivers and lakes, and I can't say whether it may be the emerging undercurrent gang on the rivers and lakes or the secret forces of which country. ”

Liu Yi lowered his head and sighed, his eyes were full of loss, the origin of this wooden plaque didn't even know Zhuang Shanfang, where was the organization of the masked assassin just now.

He then secretly stuffed the wooden card back into Zhuang Shanfang's hand, and leaned over Zhuang Shanfang's ear and whispered: "You must find out this organization, remember to check secretly, don't let anyone in the previous dynasty know, and guard against the meticulous work of various countries, you remember to find a few secret guards who look at the face but be sure to check loyally." ”

Zhuang Shanfang immediately took back the wooden card and put it in the secret pocket of his sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, are you going to go back to the palace after changing your clothes?" ”

"I won't go back for a month."

I didn't expect Liu Yi to refuse so bluntly this time.

The dignified Emperor Yan did not return to the palace for a month, which is a very rare situation.

Zhuang Shan was embarrassed and muttered: "Your Majesty, this is not appropriate, the kings of the Yan Kingdom will not return to the palace for no reason, if someone asks, it will be difficult for the ministers to explain." And if Your Majesty goes out for a month, what should the government do? You also know the thoughts of the nations and the dynasties that have gone before you. ”

Zhuang Shanfang didn't dare to think that if Liu Yi didn't return to the palace for a month, what would happen to the former dynasty and the harem.

In the previous dynasty, there were still the remnants of Liu Xie, the king of Pingyang, and Liu Jing, the king of Yue, and there was no shortage of eyeliner from other countries like Xiao Luoyan in the harem, and those people in the harem of the former dynasty were like tigers crawling on the ground, waiting for Liu Yi to fall and then devour everything he had.

If those people knew that Liu Yi would not return to the palace for a month, it might be a bloody storm.

When Liu Yi heard this, he just smiled: "I don't want to die in this half a month." If I don't go to Zhangzhou to get medicine, I'm afraid I won't be able to endure this half a month, and then Yan Guo will just give it away. It's better to use this month to fight and see if you can survive, as for the situation in the court, let's talk about it later. ”

Hearing Liu Yi say that he could live for half a month, Zhuang Shanfang's eyes suddenly widened like pearls, and said: "Your Majesty, you are in the prime of life, and you are strong, how can you ......?"

Zhuang Shanfang wanted to speak and stopped.

Liu Yi did not frown sadly at this moment, but showed a relaxed expression that had not been seen for a long time, with some rare tenderness in his tone: "On the arrow just now, someone quenched the nine-ring poison, which is difficult to solve." I'm very happy with what I've gotten now. In fact, I originally just wanted to be an idle prince, but because of Yanjun's happiness, I was willing to fight hard. If I die like this, the only one I can't let go of is Yanjun. When the new emperor ascends the throne, he will inevitably not be able to accommodate the concubines of the old palace. Not to mention that she has no power behind her now, she has also married King Yue, I am afraid that if I really die and King Yue takes the throne, he will definitely not let Yanjun go. ”

Liu Yi hasn't called Xu Yanjun like this for a long time.

He was an emperor in front of people, and there were a lot of eyes staring at him in the dark, so he couldn't be so intimate with Xu Yanjun, so he could only pretend to be cold.

And how much time is left for himself? Just a moment in your sleep.

Only in his sleep, no one can interfere with his thoughts, he has no worries, he can go his own way in his sleep, he does not have to worry about any punishment, he does not have to worry about taking a wrong step and he will never recover.

Sleep comfortably, that's why some people are willing to sleep for a long time without waking up.

Hearing Liu Yi say that the poison was difficult to solve, Zhuang Shanfang unconsciously lowered his head, his eyes slightly wet.

He didn't dare to think that the monarch in front of him would face death at the age of twenty-nine, and how many people would only start a family at the age of thirty and start to make a difference.

Although Liu Yi said that he had been on the throne for eleven years, this was a good age for him to expand his territory as an emperor, and it would be a pity if he died like this. Moreover, Liu Yi's insights into many things and his manipulation of things are far better than those of the first emperor.

Such an emperor should not have died so early.

Liu Yi suddenly stretched out his uninjured hand to hold Zhuang Shanfang's hanging hand, and said earnestly: "If I really go, please take someone to escort the queen from the palace and go to that secret house, there is a ginkgo tree in the courtyard." If there was not enough money, I went to dig under the tree, and I hid a small wooden box, which contained the silver tickets I had saved when I was king. ”

Not only why, Liu Yi's eyes became a little moist, he sighed, and said softly: "Being a prince, after all, living under others, the day is not safe, if something happens one day, you still have to have some silver to prepare to ensure that you are worry-free for the rest of your life." After ascending the throne, I always thought that these silver tickets would not be used, and I never imagined that there would be such a day. ”

He grabbed Zhuang Shanfang's hand and trembled, only to realize at this moment that his life was so important, all because of Xu Yanjun.

It's all because of Xu Yanjun, the woman who hates herself more than she loves now, the woman who thinks she has a dry relationship with her.

After Zhuang Shanfang listened to Liu Yi's words, he immediately knelt down, bowed his head and said: "Even if Weichen goes to the soup, he will definitely protect the queen." ”

Zhuang Shanfang held back his tears, he tried to adjust his voice, but he still trembled a little.

He has never shed a single tear in his years as a secret guard, even if someone pierces him in the chest and cuts off one of his ribs, he still resists standing up and fighting the enemy, and does not shed a single tear.

But a resolute chivalrous warrior like Zhuang Shanfang often makes them cry only with feelings.

For them, pain is like a wind in the desert, it can't blow them down, it only makes them more resolute. But emotions are as tender as water, slowly seeping into their noses, their lungs, and suffocating them.

In a moment, Liu Yi's eyes revealed a bit of fortitude, and the tears that had just reached his eyes were suddenly like a squirrel in winter, completely hidden, and said coldly: "You ordered someone to go back to the palace to inform Chang Xi, just say that I feel that there are very few books I read on weekdays, and I should retreat in the Lizheng Palace to study some great strategies for governing the country, and no one is allowed to disturb them. ”

Zhuang Shanfang knelt on the ground and responded.

Liu Yi tugged at his clothes and said solemnly: "Don't kneel there, come and change my clothes." ”

Hearing this, Zhuang Shanfang got up, changed the blood-stained tattered clothes for Liu Yi in a slip manner, and carefully put the sample clothes on his body.

No matter how careful Zhuang Shanfang was, he still ran into Liu Yi's wound when he was dressing Liu Yi.

Liu Yi was a little pained, gritted his teeth and gasped, so frightened that Zhuang Shanfang directly knelt on the ground and confessed: "Your Majesty, Weichen deserves to die." ”

Liu Yi used his uninjured hand to hold Zhuang Shanfang and motioned him to get up, and said loudly: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Xu Yuanxuan didn't know anything about everything in the room just now, because the building materials used in Yanxiu Pavilion had excellent sound insulation, and he didn't know that the changing room of Miaoyin Pavilion was originally used to transmit news to other countries.

Since the changing room of Yanxiu Pavilion is like this, then Yanxiu Pavilion is naturally an eyeliner placed in Yanjing by other countries, although it is in an inconspicuous location, but it is the least suspicious.

Xu sat on the bench outside the door of the changing room, his hands tightly gripping the edge of the bench. Her gaze was a little distracted, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved downward, and her face was bitter.

Zhuang Shanfang opened the door, and Liu Yi walked out of the changing room.
