"It's been said that looking in the mirror can make people with body dysmorphic phobia feel anxious, nervous, and even angry, even if it's just twenty or thirty breaths in front of the mirror." As Liang Xing told Ye Qing and Bai Chun under the mulberry tree that Shi Hao had already entered the palace, Ye Qing turned his head to look at Bai Chun, and suddenly said meaningfully.

"Will it?" Bai Chun frowned, a little puzzled why Ye Qing suddenly lifted the mirror.

Liang Xing, who had not yet left, looked at Ye Qing and Bai Chun, who were leisurely under the mulberry tree, and couldn't help but interject: "Ye Dutou, do you mean something by saying this, you want to ...... Tell us something? ”

Ye Qing looked at the only maid in the courtyard, the Red Mansion, and handed over the tea and water relentlessly, and smiled: "I remember...... Our Emperor seems to have some flaws, right? ”

Liang Xing was stunned for a moment, but Bai Chun was the first to react: "Are you saying that the Emperor Taishang couldn't give birth to ...... back then." ”

"What does this have to do with Shi Hao's entry into the palace?" Liang Xing sat down in front of the steps of the courtyard, took the teapot handed over by the Red Mansion, and asked from the teapot he used on weekdays.

Ye Qing turned his head and continued to look at Bai Chun, and said, "Do you remember that I had three days like I was missing?" ”

Bai Chun nodded silently, and Liang Xing said: "You stayed in the prison for three whole days and didn't come out, and as soon as you came out, you saw Shi Miyuan under the palace wall, and then gave a box to Shi Miyuan." ”

"Yes, there are three mirrors in the wooden box for Shi Miyuan. One side is for Shi Miyuan, one side is for the Emperor or the Queen Mother, and the other side is for the queen. Ye Qing took a deep breath and continued to smile: "But Shi Miyuan didn't give that mirror to the Emperor Taishang at the first time, and today you said that Shi Hao carried a wooden box to the palace, if I expected it to be good, there must be a mirror in it." ”

"In the thirty-second year of Shaoxing, the imperial court allowed the people to call the mirror a mirror, whether it was an official cast or a private cast, its lettering was Zhaozi and Jianzi, because it was necessary to avoid the ancestor of Emperor Taizu, the name of Emperor Zhao Jing." Bai Chun pondered and said, "The mirror is not a valuable item, let alone ...... Since Shi Hao can lift it with one hand, it is obvious that the bronze mirror you gave is not heavy, and it is not a valuable item, how do you think that the Emperor Taishang will definitely take the mirror you sent? ”

"Hehe......." Ye Qing smiled and said: "Don't look at people with old eyes, what you are talking about is a bronze mirror, which is priced and sold by weight, and the mirror I gave to Shi Miyuan, although it is not big, but ...... It is not precious, if there is an opportunity in the future, this kind of mirror will be priced by the size of the face. ”

"What's so special about it?" Bai Chun asked strangely.

Now with the situation of her husband Ye Qing, coupled with what happened, Bai Chun is no longer taboo, nervous, and cares about the deadlocked relationship between Ye Qing and Zhao Gou, so she really wants to know how Ye Qing will fight back this time after Zhao Gou sent Li Fengniang over.

"You'll find out later." Ye Qing smiled, stretched out his hand to let Bai Chun help him up, and then muttered in his mouth: "With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed properly, history as a mirror, you can know the rise and fall, and with people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses." ”

Just when Ye Qing was reciting the warning words of Emperor Taizong Li Shimin, Shi Hao, the Duke of Wei, held the mirror in one hand and had a flattering smile on his face, and in front of Zhao Gou, he slowly opened the black that was covered in the mirror.

He had never seen this mirror given to Zhao Gou, what was the difference between it and Shi Miyuan's, not to mention, in his opinion, at that time, Ye Qing handed over the three mirrors to Shi Miyuan to give them to the Emperor, and he was afraid that it was to please Zhao Gou, just like now, he said that the mirror in front of him was obtained by accident, not by Ye Qing.

"The Emperor, look at ......." Shi Hao instantly pulled down the black cloth on the mirror, and what appeared in Zhao Gou's sight was a messy gray hair, a gray and messy beard, and an old face full of wrinkles, and those eyes were like the lines of red blood letters.

"Man in the Mirror...... It's me! Zhao Gou's unbelievable mirror was extremely clear to himself, and he had never seen his face so clearly in his life.

"How, is it rare to see clearly?" Shi Hao didn't notice the fear in Zhao Gou's eyes at all, and asked with a flattering taste.

"With copper as a mirror, you can be dressed; With history as a mirror, we can know the rise and fall; With people as a mirror, you can see the gains and losses. Zhao Gou was a little flustered, and even couldn't believe that the sloppy, old, and wrinkled old man in the mirror was himself, and when his eyes turned to the words written in cinnabar: "This is Ye Qing's handwriting, isn't it?" ”

"Emperor Taishang, this is the old minister's ......." Shi Hao was shocked, looking at Zhao Gou, who suddenly looked hideous on the mirror, and then quickly raised his head, only to see Zhao Gou looking at him with a hideous expression.

"With copper as a mirror, history as a mirror, and people as a mirror, Shi Hao, you are satirizing the failure of the emperor...... Burst. Before Zhao Gou finished speaking, a mouthful of blood sprayed on the mirror, and the wrinkled old face on the mirror instantly flowed blood on his face.

"The Emperor ......." Shi Hao was shocked, at this time, where could he still care about holding the mirror, and when he helped Zhao Gou's body to fall backwards with both hands, the mirror that the two of them held in their hands instantly fell off and fell to the ground.

With a snap, the mirror embedded in the wooden frame shattered instantly, and while Zhao Gou fell backwards, he saw that his blood-ridden face suddenly disappeared from the mirror, and was replaced by Shi Hao's blood-filled face.

"Someone...... Wang Lun...... Hurry up and call the imperial doctor, the emperor fainted. Shi Hao was unsteady on his feet, and was carried down by Zhao Gou's backward body, and shouted hurriedly while getting up to check Zhao Gou's situation.

"Come on, please come over." At this moment, Shi Hao had a feeling that the whole world had collapsed and the end of the world had come, as if a violent storm had destroyed the entire Zhao Song clan in an instant.

Wang Lun and Shi Hao helped up Zhao Gou, who was already unconscious, and asked in his mouth: "Wei Guogong, what did you do to Emperor Taishang?" Slaves and maids must play the holy gods truthfully! ”

"I ...... Wang Lun ....... Shi Hao's heart suddenly felt cold, and in a panic, when he looked down to find the mirror again, he didn't know when, the suddenly cracked mirror had disappeared.

"Wang Lun, you ......." Shi Hao raised his head and looked at Wang Lun, and at this time, he found that the loyal Wang Lun knelt in front of Zhao Gou's couch and cried: "If the Emperor Taishang has three longs and two shorts, the slave and maid will not live, but the slave and maid must tell the truth to the Holy Emperor and ask the Holy Lord to be the master of the Emperor." ”

"Wang Lun, you are presumptuous......." Shi Hao felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he had a feeling that he had been calculated.

Wang Lun cried bitterly, while helping the imperial doctor who stumbled in to support Zhao Gou's wrist, he signaled the palace maid to invite the queen mother quickly, and Shi Hao on the side was already stunned at this time, and he didn't know what to do.

Ye Qing never believed that the monarchs and ministers in history would howl and cry when he didn't cross over, but when he performed once in Dali Temple in front of Zhao Gou, he realized that this thing seemed to be really useful in this era, and it could be regarded as a means to save his life.

Of course, crying also depends on qualifications, not all officials have the ability to howl and cry in front of the saint, after all, in history, in front of the emperor, among the courtiers and princes who shed tears, each of them has full weight.

At this moment, since Ye Qing came to the Great Song Dynasty, he was full of unprecedented ease, and even had an urge to sing a song.

The crown prince and princess Li Fengniang were urgently summoned into the palace, and while hurriedly entering the palace, she did not forget to send someone to tell herself that the palace had spread the word that the emperor was seriously ill, and I was afraid that time was running out.

Li Heng of the Imperial City Division, the injury of the Guanquanfang incident has not yet healed, and he was also hurriedly summoned into the palace, and then quickly brought people back to the Imperial City Division, Wei Guogong Shi Hao, was imprisoned by the Empress Dowager in anger, even if the saint pleaded, he failed to persuade the Empress Dowager to let go.

Ye Qing believed that the Empress Dowager would be angry and directly hand over Shi Hao directly to the Imperial City Division for custody, among which in addition to Wang Lun's testimony, I am afraid that the Empress Dowager's brother-in-law Han Cheng was also indispensable, beating the side drum on the side.

After all, Han Cheng naturally would not let go of this great opportunity to suppress the power of the Shi family.

In the courtyard of his house, the Red Mansion was busy helping Ye Qing put the reclining chair under the mulberry tree, the small table was placed, and the tea that had just been brewed was also carefully placed on the table.

"Red Mansion ......." Ye Qing, who turned around and sat down, looked at the Red Mansion that was about to leave the busy work and shouted.

"Sir, you command." The Red Mansion hurriedly turned around and stood still, but the moment he turned around, he still vaguely saw the white pure figure standing in front of the window of the study on the second floor.

"In the future, you will be at home steadily, if you have a favorite man, tell the master, and the master will buy you a dowry." Ye Qing said with a kind smile that he thought he had.

"Thank you, sir, Red Mansion...... Red Mansion will not marry in this life, and is willing to serve the lord and wife all the time ....... Red Mansion's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly saluted and said.

"What is this called, men should get married and women should get married, you are not young, if you are in someone else's family at this age, I am afraid that they are all children and mothers, and they still have to become married, not to mention...... After a while, you won't have any scruples anymore, don't worry, there is no merit and hard work, and the lord will never treat you badly. Ye Qing said kindly.

And the red mansion on the opposite side lowered her head, but she was extremely nervous in her heart, who she was and how she got to the Ye family, whether it was herself or Ye Qing was very clear.

When the Emperor Taishang gave Ye Qing's mansion, she was among the ten palace maids, but for some reason, Ye Qing finally chose to let her come to this small, ordinary mansion with her, and the other palace maids are still in the courtyard of the deep mansion, like birds and sparrows that have been raised.

"Sir...... Red House ...... Red Mansion will never marry in this life, and is sincerely willing to serve the lord and his wife ....... Red Mansion was even more nervous, over the years, she should have known the master in front of her very well, and ...... is still safe and sound, compared to Jin Se and You'er's worship of Ye Qing, Red Mansion is more afraid of Ye Qing.

Even if it has been all these years, this palace maid has not done anything to be sorry for Ye Qing, but now that the Emperor Taishang is seriously ill and time is running out, they, the palace maids sent to Ye Qing by the Emperor Taishang back then, are now about to become ownerless.

"Red Mansion, women always have to get married, and the lord is not driving you away, if you want, you can be like Jinse and You'er, even if you get married, you can stay in the mansion forever." Bai Chun walked over at some point, stood next to the Red Mansion and said softly.

"Mrs. Xie, thank you, old lady. Red Mansion ....... Red Mansion said a little overwhelmed.

"You go down first, today is just the master's mention, in short, you remember, no one will embarrass you here." Bai Chun said as he leaned on the somewhat emaciated shoulders of the Red Mansion.

"Yes, ma'am."

Watching the Red Mansion leave, Bai Chun glared at Ye Qing dissatisfied, and then raised his foot and kicked the beautiful Ye Qing and said, "What are you scaring her for, she has never been involved in this." ”

"It's just okay to ask, you can't really delay the Red Mansion at home, right?" Ye Qing said with a smile.

"What about Fang Fei? How are you going not to delay? Bai Chun coldly threw out a hot potato again.

"You're a man...... By the way, is there any news from Li Heng's side? Ye Qing immediately diverted the topic.

"How did you do that?" Bai Chun asked with a frown.

"What and how?" Ye Qing asked rhetorically.

The two looked at each other, as if they had returned to the time when Ye Qing pretended to be crazy and stupid.

Bai Chun sighed speechlessly, still as before, picked up a small bench and sat down not far from Ye Qing, and after lifting the teapot and pouring a cup of tea for Ye Qing, he sighed and said, "If you are the emperor...... There are really three long and two short, what should we do next? ”

"Let's look at the situation in the court, in a short period of time, I can't go back to Yangzhou, but fortunately, it's ......." Ye Qing raised his eyes and glanced at Bai Chun, who was looking at him, and sighed: "Xin Qiji, there must be no problem, Uncle Bai and Ye Heng's affairs, when this matter is over, they ...... There is nothing to be afraid of. By the way, if you secretly returned to Lin'an this time, you didn't think about it, if you and I have three long and two short in Lin'an...... What about Uncle Bai? ”

Bai Chun directly ignored Ye Qing's last question, in fact, she didn't know what to do, but her mind was full of Ye Qing's shadow at that time, she was afraid that Ye Qing would encounter an accident in Lin'an, she was afraid that she would live alone in this world, so she resolutely ran back to Lin'an.

"If so...... If everything goes well here, do you still want to go back to Yangzhou? Bai Chun frowned and asked.

"Yangzhou is safer than Lin'an, and only by constantly strengthening ourselves and participating in the Northern Expedition can we make our family safer and ......." Ye Qing raised his head, looked at the blue sky and white clouds through the mulberry leaves and said.

"Can that ......?" Bai Chun looked at Ye Qing, inexplicably a little distressed, and after a pause, he said, "Can you transfer my father and Uncle Ye back to Lin'an?" ”

"Who are you and me? Your husband and I are not the secretary of the ministry, not the left and right ministers, but just a prefect who has not yet sat firmly in the position of the pacification envoy on Huainan East Road, not to mention ...... What will happen next in Lin'an, none of us knows, Zhao Gou...... Let's see how his creation is, if he dies like this, the saint's heart will not appreciate me as much as before, but because of the relationship between the prince, maybe he will open up. Han Cheng and Wang Huai will also regard me as a real opponent, so they will ignore Shi Miyuan, which is not a favorable factor for me. ”

Bai Chun nodded silently, like a secretary, silently remembering Ye Qing's words in his heart, seemingly analyzing the next situation in the court, and similarly, it also seemed to tell Bai Chun that the next target of the umbrella could not be relaxed for Shi Miyuan.
