At the end of the month, the city finally resumed its usual flow of people, and the gates were closed and opened according to the established hours, and the lives of the people were not greatly affected, so these changes did not attract enough attention.

For the Imperial City, there were also some actions on this day, including Bai Shi, who finally regained his freedom after being confined in the Qianyuan Palace for so many days. Chen Yuanzhi, the commander of the forbidden army, opened the door of the palace and respectfully asked Bai Shi to leave, no matter what calculations and regrets Bai Shi had in his heart, he was powerless to compete with the forbidden army at this time.

"There are many offends these days, please don't blame the master!"

Chen Yuanzhi's tone was sincere and sincere, if it weren't for Bai Shi, but someone else, he would definitely think that Chen Yuanzhi was just forced to do this. In the face of Chen Yuanzhi's apology and courtesy, Baishi did not say too much, just nodded.

A carriage had stopped at the side door of the palace, yes, the side door. The explanation given by Chen Yuanzhi was that the main gate was too murderous, and the previous killing had made Emperor Liang order to completely close the Qianyuan Palace, so the side gate was also helpless.

"The emperor is worried that the news of King Ling's rebellion will be unfavorable to the war ahead, and he has wronged his master these days. The emperor's dragon body was almost recovered, and he was able to return to the court, so he immediately ordered the old slave to escort the master back to Qingshan Academy. ”

"Gonggong Chen is the commander of the forbidden army, and it will not take half a day to return to the academy from the capital, and the old man really can't stand the send-off of Gonggong Chen. I also asked Gonggong Chen to stay here, and the old man could feel at ease when he went back. ”

"Where did the Master come from? It was the emperor who ordered the old man to escort the master, and the master ......"

"Father-in-law Chen, the old man has a reluctant request. I hope to bring the body of my beloved disciple Chu back to the academy. ”

"The master loves the disciple like a son, and the old slave also regrets it in his heart, since it was proposed by the master, the old slave should do his best. However, the case of rebellion has not yet been completely concluded, and some human and physical evidence needs to be further collected and sorted out, and the corpses in the case are transferred at will, and the old slave ......"

"Since Gonggong Chen is embarrassed, the old man will find the emperor by himself!"

"Hey, Master!" Chen Yuanzhi hurriedly blocked Baishi's way, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately changed his words: "Since the master is so insistent, the old slave should do his best to help." However, it will take some time to remove the body from Dali Temple, and I ask the master to wait. ”

"The old man went with his father-in-law!"

"That's a good idea!"

Although it was only early spring in April, in order to prevent the corpses from decomposing, Emperor Liang specially ordered people to hoard a large amount of ice in the corpse room. Therefore, when Chu Guo's body was taken out, it was still the same as it was before his death on the day of the celebration.

Looking at his beloved disciple, Bai Shi was full of emotion, he reached out and touched Chu Kuang's cheek, which was already cold and stiff, and before sending him to the carriage, Bai Shi took one last look at the wound on Chu Kuang's chest.

"So thank you Grandpa Chen."

"Master, where is it? It is also human nature to take the body of a beloved disciple back to the academy, and the emperor specially instructed the old slave to compensate the master heavily. ”

Chen Yuanzhi patted the carriage hard as he spoke, how smart Bai Shi was, he immediately understood what the other party meant. Even if he resisted in his heart, but the other party moved out of Emperor Liang, if he insisted on not complying, it would be resistance. Shiraishi bowed deeply and then got back into the car, and the carriage drove towards the city gate.

When Baishi left the imperial city smoothly, King Xiang and Cai Xiang completed a day's review of the book and went to the Qingzhi Palace to ask Emperor Liang for peace. Since Emperor Liang fainted last time, the imperial dining room has changed its tricks to send tonic ingredients to Emperor Liang, all of which are full of color, flavor and flavor, making Qingzhi Palace filled with bursts of food all day long, and the greedy palace people can't stop swallowing saliva.

If this were someone else, he would have already broken his belly and risen by three catties a day, but Emperor Liang's appetite was less than one day.

Du Guifei looked at the eighteen dishes sent by the imperial dining room and shook her head helplessly, and said to Emperor Liang: "Your Majesty, today's lunch imperial dining room has been sent over, how much will you eat?" ”

"I feel empty, but I don't have any desire to eat." Emperor Liang reluctantly sat up with the support of Du Guifei and looked at the food in front of him, and swallowed his saliva, "Which dish is made by the academy cook?" ”

Du Guifei pointed to six of the dim sum dishes and said, "Your Majesty, have you seen those dim sums that are all served on cyan bone china plates?" Those were made by the cooks of the academy, and the imperial dining room deliberately used different plates to distinguish them. The emperor wants to taste it? ”

"Let's just look round and golden."

"Yes!"

Du Guifei picked up a dim sum in the shape of a rice ball and carefully sent it to Emperor Liang's mouth, watched Emperor Liang eat it, and introduced: "This is the latest dim sum provided by the imperial dining room today, it is said that it is a new variety developed by the chef of the academy, and the outside is glutinous rice, which is filled with yellow powder, bean paste and pearl poria paste, which is not only a dim sum, but also a medicinal herb." ”

"Well, I have a heart." Emperor Liang chewed repeatedly for a while, and finally swallowed the ball. After eating, Emperor Liang took a few breaths, and his face changed slightly, just like how much effort it took to eat such a ball.

Du Guifei hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Emperor Liang to serve, and Emperor Liang continued to be sleepy, and fell asleep on the side of the pillow.

Du Guifei turned her head and came to the outside of the palace and said to the steward of the imperial dining room who had been guarding: "The emperor has already tasted the meal you sent, but because the dragon body is not safe and does not eat much, you can go back to your life." ”

"Yes, mother, the slave is leaving."

Watching the steward leave, Du Guifei instructed the people around her: "There are so many meals in the imperial dining room, it's a pity that the emperor can't finish eating them, you wrap those snacks and send some to Qiluo Courtyard and Zhanghan Palace." ”

As soon as the attendants loaded snacks and came out of the side door, King Xiang had already entered Qingzhi Palace from the main gate.

"It's His Royal Highness King Xiang who has come down!"

"Concubine Niangniang, I don't know if my father's body is okay today?"

"The emperor fell asleep after eating the snacks sent by the imperial dining room, it is not the right time for His Royal Highness to come down, it is better for His Highness to go back first, when the emperor wakes up, the palace will send someone to invite His Highness."

"How dare you bother the mother? Since you're here today, it's better to meet your father! ”

King Xiang also ignored Du Guifei's dissuasion, and broke into the dormitory as he should, seeing that Emperor Liang was indeed sleeping peacefully.

"Your Highness!" Du Guifei stood in front of the couch and said to King Xiang: "Your Highness is here to ask for peace, this kind of harassment is not good for the emperor's rest, doesn't Your Highness even understand this?" If it spreads, the ministers should think that His Royal Highness has behaved inappropriately and has failed the emperor's entrustment! ”

"The palace worries about the beam every day, the heart of the family and the country is the heart of loyalty and love for the father, after visiting the father, you will continue to return to the previous dynasty to review the chapter, Niangniang, your behavior is tantamount to blocking the prince from visiting the emperor, the palace wants to ask the mother what is the heart?"

"This palace is just a female stream, for the emperor's dragon health, Your Highness don't speculate!"

"But don't forget, Niangniang still has a son, King Yu is fighting on the front line, Niangniang shouldn't want to distract her son, right? Niangniang doesn't let this palace visit her father and emperor like this, isn't it that your mother and son want to usurp power inside and outside! ”

"The more a person lacks something, the more he will show something, His Royal Highness is slanderous like this, it is conceivable that it is His Highness himself who really wants to usurp power and seize the throne!"

With a sneer on the corner of King Xiang's mouth, he stepped forward and approached Du Guifei, "Even if it's this palace, what can you do to me?" Not to mention your little Qingzhi Palace, even if the entire imperial city is under the control of this palace, if you don't want your precious son to die on the battlefield, just get out of the way! At least for now, this palace can still guarantee the lives of my father, King Yu and you, if you delay this palace any longer, then you will bear the consequences! ”

Du Guifei's body trembled slightly, she understood that what King Xiang said was not wrong, and she had already seen that King Xiang's tail was finally about to be exposed, but fortunately, he had not yet shown his fangs. Du Guifei looked at Emperor Liang on the couch, and reluctantly turned around and left the dormitory.

King Xiang didn't bother to glance at Du Guifei, he walked in front of Emperor Liang and stretched out his hand to shake Emperor Liang awake. Emperor Liang, who woke up from his sleep, could only open his eyes and see the person clearly, and could do nothing else.

"Father, it's the sons and daughters who have come to see you. Father, you have been in charge of the Liang for thirty-one years, can you remember the age of your sons? I don't remember it! Erchen is twenty-five years old this year, and he is already an elderly prince, and now that you even have the emperor and grandson, you should be satisfied. ”

Regardless of Emperor Liang's reluctance, King Xiang insisted on pulling Emperor Liang's hand out of the bed, and said with infinite warmth while stroking: "Father, your time in this world is short, and the matter of establishing a prince should also be put on the agenda. For the sake of the family and the country, Erchen is determined to take the initiative to take up this burden. ”

Emperor Liang's eyes widened, and he wanted to say something, but his throat and eyes couldn't make a sound at all, and the whole person could only squirm with difficulty, his mouth made a whining sound, and his whole face was red.

"Father, you better rest. Erchen calculates that the fourth brother should come back tomorrow, and then Erchen will definitely let his father watch a good show. Oh, by the way, Master Baishi's sons and sons have already sent someone to send him back to the academy, these literati are suitable for doing studies, and politics should be left to the sons and daughters to take care of! ”

King Xiang shook off Emperor Liang's hand, laughed and left the dormitory, leaving Emperor Liang struggling on the bed, because he struggled too hard, and the corners of his mouth couldn't stop drooling.
