After the emperor finished handling the business, he announced his retirement from the court, and went to the Jieqi Pavilion to see the Empress Dowager Zheng in the afternoon.

Tomorrow will be the day of his 40th birthday, and there will be a big court meeting and celebration.

These days are also the busiest time in the palace, and if you are not sick, you can't leave the emperor's side.

However, both the guards and the inner guards were on duty, and the five guards who followed the emperor were divided into four shifts day and night, so there were a total of twenty people.

There are also thirty close servants like Guo Hong, and they are also divided into four shifts, after all, people are not iron-beaten, and serving the emperor needs to be careful at all times, mentally stressed, it is high-intensity work, and six hours a day is enough for a strong man to bear.

Guo Hong pondered for a few days, felt a certain degree of certainty, and prepared to implement the plan.

When he got off duty, he went straight to the Yeting Palace, the real Li Jingchao had been in a coma for many days, and if he didn't wake up, he might not be able to.

This was originally the retreat he had thought of, so this person couldn't die.

Li Jingchao didn't know who knocked him unconscious, this faint was seven or eight days, he woke up once or twice in the middle, and was fed by the masked man and continued to numb himself with ecstasy.

He was in a daze, and the masked man was talking in a pinched voice, not knowing who it was.

I just thought I had touched a flower beat, but the flower beat is usually abducted and trafficked women and children, and he is a eunuch, which is really strange.

The surroundings were so dark that I couldn't see where it was, and there were no people nearby, like a haunted house.

When he woke up again, he heard the man in the darkness say: "You are now an eight-rank doctor, you are a scarlet, walking in front of the emperor, if you don't want to lose this official position, it's good to be careful." ”

Li Jingchao was stunned in his heart, and suddenly sobered up a lot.

He couldn't think of how he suddenly changed from a white body to an eighth-rank official, but what was going on with this doctor?

If you don't know how to see a doctor, you have to go through the gangs!

"I, I'm not going to see a doctor!"

The voice said, "It's okay, I'll knock you out and throw you by the lake in a while, and when you wake up, you will take leave, and after a while you will say that you have been hit hard in the head, and you can't remember many things." ”

Li Jingchao was stunned for a moment and asked, "Then how can I walk in front of the imperial ......?"

The man sneered and said, "Do you have that ability?" When I saw the emperor, I was afraid that my legs would be weak with fright, and I wanted to walk in front of the emperor, so be careful to provoke the emperor and lose my life! The eight-rank official is good, don't be dissatisfied! ”

Li Jingchao didn't dare to make a sound.

He had already guessed that the other party had used his identity to sneak into the emperor's side, and if something happened in the future, he was afraid that he would be implicated.

But you can't bargain now, otherwise your life is still in the hands of the other party, and your life will be in danger once you turn your face.

The other party explained two more sentences, and said how he saved the prince Li Wei in the past few days, how he was rewarded by the emperor in the polo game, and the major events that had happened in the palace and the court.

Li Jingchao was even more shocked, he couldn't imagine that the other party had only been pretending to be him for a few days, and he had done so many things, he was suddenly startled and asked, "You, are you pretending to be me?" What if others don't recognize me, Li Jingchao? ”

"You don't have to worry about this, you won't show flaws!"

Then his eyes went dark, and he fainted again.

At this time, the sky was just dawning, and when I woke up again, there were many people around the lake, and there were many discussions.

A big man walked in separately and asked with concern, "Jing Chao, how do you feel?" ”

Li Jingchao looked at it and recognized it as the emperor's personal guard Wang Zongshi, this person was not familiar with him, why was he suddenly so affectionate?

He felt bitter in his heart, it must have been a good deed done by someone pretending to be himself!

The problem is that the person should be exactly like himself, so that no one who knows him can tell the difference.

"I, I'm dizzy, everything

I don't remember! ”

Li Jingchao looked around, everyone on the lookers may be someone pretending to be himself!

……

Guo Hong got rid of the shackles of Li Jingchao's identity, and he had already planned the next step.

Now I'm going to go into the Yuki Pavilion to investigate.

As the emperor's close attendant, you can't wander around the Queen Mother, but the Queen Mother's close attendant can.

So he had a different look now, and the stunned attendant was sleeping on the couch, and he couldn't wake up for a while.

This person's name is Zhao Qian, he is only in his early twenties, and Jieqi Pavilion is responsible for cleaning.

Guo Hong pretended to be this person and came to the queen mother's bedroom, and the eunuch leader in charge of sprinkling and sweeping counted all the numbers and took them in.

These people are responsible for the sprinkling and cleaning of the courtyard, and the house cannot be entered, and the palace maids are generally responsible for it.

But these palace maids can't move around at will, but the little eunuchs who sweep are more free.

The Queen Mother was not in the Jieqi Pavilion at this time, but went to the emperor's birthday banquet.

The eunuchs who sprinkled and swept found that Zhao Qian was very diligent today, helping everywhere, and almost ran all over the Jieqi Pavilion, so they praised him for his enthusiasm.

Guo Hong came to a place, as long as there was no one in the yard, he sneaked into the room to check, he used incense all the way, and occasionally there were one or two palace maids in the house, all of whom slept for a while, and woke up only as if he was sleepy and sleepy for a while.

I quickly checked it and found nothing.

Guo Hongcha this time was also to reassure himself, he had already guessed that the thing was in Tang Xuanzong's Hall of Eternal Life, but the third uncle thought that in the Jieqi Pavilion, anyway, the Hall of Eternal Life should not be opened until July 7, so it was better to check here first.

Although the relics of the Empress Dowager Guo were not found, a hidden compartment was unexpectedly found on the wall behind the Empress Dowager's bed.

There is a multicolored silk string with a black pearl engraved with the word Qi engraved on it.

Guo Hong thought about it slightly, and guessed that this was Li Qi's relic, and it seemed that Empress Dowager Zheng still liked her ex-husband more.

There are a few other miscellaneous items, but at the bottom is a birthday eight.

Rat's birthday is on June 24.

Although there are no other annotations, Guo Hong also inexplicably knows that this is the eight characters of Emperor Dazhong.

It turned out that the emperor was forty-one years old, he was really born two years earlier, and the rumors he heard in the past seemed to be true, this person was the widow of Li Qi, who rebelled in Zhenjiang, not the son of Emperor Xianzong!

Guo Hong hated it in his heart, it was such a person who took the power of the Guo family and the Li family.

But now is not the time to move him, at most add a little block to the other party.

The first target to take revenge is Ma Yuanzhen.

After Guo Hong finished his work, he returned to Zhao Qian's residence, changed his clothes back, and then changed into an inconspicuous envoy and walked out.

Zhao Qian woke up a little confused, he suddenly was late, hurriedly got up and went out of the house, and found that the sky was not right, it should have been afternoon, so he was worried in his heart, just a few weekday companions came over, and praised him for his good performance today, praised by the supervisor, Zhao Qian was stunned for a while, and did not dare to take the initiative to say that he overslept and did not go to duty, that is to be punished, this thing is very strange, is it that he met the fox fairy and wild ghost? I have to go back and worship the Buddha.

Guo Hong used Wang Congyi's identity and waist card at this time, and this identity can not be used as much as possible, so as not to affect the people who brought him into the palace after being exposed.

But there must always be an excesses in the middle of his new identity, and in order not to arouse suspicion, this identity is still necessary.

He borrowed someone else's identity for a short time, at most a few hours, and he used incense to charm the original owner, and most of the original owners didn't dare to speak out, that is, they were suspicious.

There have long been ghost legends in the palace, presumably these

There will be more people who ask for Buddha and Taoist priests to exorcise evil spirits.

At this time, the birthday banquet has actually begun, and the emperor and the queen mother will go to Qujiang Garden in the afternoon, so most of the people in the palace will follow.

They all take the royal road of Jiacheng, not through Chang'an Market.

When I arrived at Qujiang Garden, there were many envoys dressed like Guo Hong, and there were countless palace maids shuttling back and forth.

The peonies are in full bloom, and the garden is full of spring.

Qujiang Garden is the place where the Qujiang River flows every year, the pavilions and pavilions cover each other, it is the emperor's birthday again at this time, the floating boat on the river is covered with red and hung colors, and the drum is noisy.

The emperor and the queen mother hugged each other, and they walked forward, and those who could enter the garden were high-ranking officials and nobles, and they saluted one after another, and the words of praise in their mouths were endless.

Today, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty are not absent, after all, it is the emperor's birthday, and there is a reward, I really don't want to live if I don't come.

Guo Hong walked around in the crowd, it felt like entering a large theme park in the future, and it was too lively.

He searched secretly as he walked, and finally found Shi Xiong and his family under an inconspicuous weeping willow.

"Senior sister, it's me!" Guo Hong quietly walked near Jiao Fengming and said in a low voice.

Jiao Fengming saw someone approaching, but she was actually alert, but there was a familiar feeling when someone came, otherwise she would have made a move.

"Hmph, I haven't been out of the palace for a few days, have you forgotten me?" The girl pouted softly.

"How come, I miss you every day, just to be a close attendant to the emperor, I can't leave the palace when I'm free, I can only get out today, and it's impossible for my senior sister to drive me away in the next few days."

Jiao Fengming pursed his lips and smiled, but quickly held back and said, "It depends on whether my father agrees." ”

It was inconvenient for the two to hold hands in the garden, so they quietly walked into the woods and said some private words.

Guo Hong just fell in love, if it weren't for his father's hatred, he really wanted to stick to the girl next to him all the time.

Jiao Fengming misses her lover even more, but she is a woman after all, and her temperament is a little cold, she is always a little embarrassed, the two of them used to just hug and hug, kiss at most, and did not act out of line again.

Now that they haven't seen each other for a few days, they have seen more lovesickness, the two of them are invisible in the flowers, and the crowd is far away.

Guo Hong couldn't help but hug the girl, Jiao Fengming wanted to continue asking, but Ailang had already sealed his mouth.

When the two of them thought of cheating in the Imperial Garden, and there were still people coming and going in the distance, there was a strange feeling of tension and excitement in their hearts.

used to kiss lips to lips the most, but today Guo Hong somehow put his tongue in, Jiao Fengming was embarrassed for a while, and a little novel, resisted and struggled but couldn't resist the strength of the lover, he was pried open and his tongues were entangled.

She was so quickly kissed that she couldn't breathe, and gently pounded Guo Hong's chest with the grabbed fists.

Guo Hong was even more moved by his actions, holding her tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to rub it into his body.

Jiao Fengming felt that his tongue was numb, raised his eyebrows, and snorted hard.

Guo Hong was bitten on her tongue, although the girl was not willing to die, but it also hurt so much that the young man immediately let go, and Huo Huo was speechless.

Jiao Fengming took a sip and said, "If you haven't seen it for a few days, you won't learn well!" ”

Guo Hongha was angry, Jiao Fengming saw that he was in pain and didn't speak, and said, "Stretch it out and I'll take a look." ”

The boy pitifully stuck out his tongue, and when the girl saw it, she was bleeding.

"Who made you such a mess! If you don't let go, I'll find medicine for you. ”

Guo Hong waited for Jiao Fengming to finish wiping the medicine, feeling a little colder, and then said: "Didn't I see the emperor and Liu Jieyu doing this at night, so I want to surprise you." ”
