41 a transaction

After Emperor Yongchang was silent for a while, he waved his hand, and the attendant who was talking back and forth lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes.

Lean slightly.

Emperor Yongchang looked back at Feng Shou beside him and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

Feng Shou thought for a moment and said softly: "If you really said by the emperor, the purpose of the county lord of Yongning is to stay in the palace, but looking at her like this, it seems that she doesn't know how to open the secret passage in this palace. ”

"And how did she leave that day?" Emperor Yongchang looked at Feng Shou and said with a stern eyebrow: "I almost dug this palace three feet into the ground that day. ”

Feng Shou's expression froze, and he was about to speak again, but Emperor Yongchang had already waved his hand.

"Since she has woken up, I will go and meet her!"

After the words fell, he got up and stood up.

Feng Shoucai was about to beckon the attendant at the door to prepare the dragon bowl, but Emperor Yongchang had already said: "Just a few steps, just walk." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Shou motioned to the little chamberlain outside the hall to go to Ziyun Pavilion in advance, and he carried the lantern and walked carefully half a step behind Emperor Yongchang, stretching out his hand long, according to the path under Emperor Yongchang's feet.

The palace road is tortuous, but for Feng Shou, who has lived in the palace for decades, he can go to the place he wants to go with his eyes closed.

On a mid-autumn night, the wind was biting.

Feng Shou also walked on the side of Emperor Yongchang step by step, the palace was majestic, and the palace lights were shining, making them seem to be clothed in a mysterious veil of light in the long corridor and Guangyu.

The Purple Cloud Pavilion was deserted and terrifying, and there was no sound except for a few snorts that sounded from time to time.

The palace people waiting outside the hall were originally gossiping in a whisper, but when the corner of their eyes saw that there seemed to be a light approaching, Emperor Yongchang had already walked in front of him. Frightened, the little palace people knelt on the ground with a "plop".

"The slave has seen the emperor."

Emperor Yongchang didn't even glance at the palace people kneeling on the ground, and the corners of his bright yellow robe strode across the threshold.

Feng Shou, who was walking on his side, stared fiercely at the two trembling little palace people, and his voice squeezed out from between his teeth, "Take the punishment yourself." ”

The face of the people in the small palace turned pale, but they didn't dare to delay, and when Feng Shou also entered the main hall, the two of them got up, crying and mourning, and went to the Shen Criminal Division to receive the punishment.

Emperor Yongchang entered the main hall, Xingyu and Liu Nianxia had already taken the first step to greet him, and the two of them saluted together, "The people have seen the emperor." ”

The words fell, and he bent his knees and said a blessing.

Emperor Yongchang glanced at the two of them coldly, and gave Feng Shou on his side.

Feng Shou cleared his throat, pinched his throat and asked, "What about the county lord of Yongning?" Why don't you pick it up? ”

"Your Majesty, the county lord of my family is still unconscious because of the residual poison." Liu Nianxia said.

"Bold!" Feng Shou snorted, staring at Liu Nianxia with gloomy eyes, "The county lord of Yongning has obviously woken up, why do you say that she is still not awake?" This is the crime of deceit, and the head will be cut off. ”

As if frightened by Feng Shou's loud shout, Liu Nianxia's body stiffened, and after a pause, he said in a trembling voice: "Back to my father-in-law, it's not the people's daughter, my county lord is suitable to wake up for a while, but ......"

"But what?"

"But the county lord later fainted again." Liu Nianxia said.

Dizzy again?

Feng Shou hesitated and looked towards Emperor Yongchang.

"Have you asked for a doctor?"

Emperor Yongchang's cold voice sounded overhead.

The person in front of him must be the Ninety-Five, holding the power of life and death, his innate majesty, and the cruelty and ruthlessness of ascending the throne as the emperor, another person may not feel it. However, a person like Liu Nianxia, who was born in an official family, felt it deeply!

Therefore, Emperor Yongchang's voice was together, and for a while, because she was frightened, she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Just when Feng Shou wanted to scold, Xingyu on one side said urgently: "Back to the emperor, the maiden has already told the father-in-law on duty at the door, but whether the father-in-law went to ask for a doctor, the maiden doesn't know." ”

Feng Shoucai wanted to call the waiter outside the door to come in and ask, but a very light and shallow voice sounded in the inner hall.

"Xingyu, who's outside? Why is it so noisy? ”

Xingyu was about to return to Rong Jin, but Emperor Yongchang had already raised his feet and strode towards the inner hall.

This...... Xingyu looked at Liu Nianxia.

Liu Nianxia shook her head and signaled Xingyu not to act rashly, if the county lord really didn't want to see the emperor, she wouldn't make a sound, since she made a sound, it meant that she wanted to see the emperor.

On the carved black lacquer bed in the inner hall, Rong Jin tilted his head pantingly, and when he saw that the person who came in was Emperor Yongchang, he struggled to get up and salute, but he was very soft, and after several efforts, he still couldn't get up, so he had to look up at Emperor Yongchang humbly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive your courtiers for being rude."

Emperor Yongchang looked at Rong Jin coldly, and after signaling Feng Shou to move a chair and place it about three steps away from the bed, he waved his hand and said coldly: "I will say a few words to the Lord of Yongning alone, you all step down." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Feng Shou responded softly, and while walking out timidly, he stopped Xingyu and Liu Nianxia, who were about to come in, and took them out. However, Xingyu and Liu Nianxia were obviously not worried about Rong Jin and Emperor Yongchang being alone, and the two frequently looked at Rong Jin.

The appearance of the two of them made Feng Shou laugh angrily.

"Let's go down, the Sprinkle family has never worried that your county lord wants to be unfavorable to the emperor, what kind of leisure do you have?" Without waiting for the two to talk back, he simply said: "Don't worry, the emperor really wants to be unfavorable to your county lord, why bother to let Imperial Doctor Chen treat your county lord for poison!" ”

The two of them seemed to be relieved at this time, turned around and retreated.

Seeing that only himself and Emperor Yongchang were left in the room, Rong Jin changed his posture and sat down, and then raised his eyes to look at Emperor Yongchang.

Coincidentally, Emperor Yongchang was also looking up at her, his eyes were facing each other, the corners of Rong Jin's lips pulled up a shallow arc, and he smiled at Emperor Yongchang, but Emperor Yongchang only raised his eyebrows lightly, leaned slightly, and lowered his eyelashes slightly, covering his eyes.

Rong Jin pursed the corners of his lips, and was about to look away, but he didn't want Emperor Yongchang to speak at this time.

"Rong Jin, who poisoned you?"

There was a "poof" and a low laugh rang out.

Emperor Yongchang frowned slightly, and looked at Rong Jin coldly.

Rong Jin collected the smile on his face, met the angry gaze of Emperor Yongchang, and said softly: "Who poisoned me, doesn't the emperor know?" ”

"I'm asking you?"

"Then if I say I don't know, do you believe it or not, Your Majesty?" Rong Jin raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

Emperor Yongchang's solemn eyebrows bloomed with a touch of almost invisible ridicule, he raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Rong Jin, who gently pulled the corners of his lips, as if smiling, "Do you think I believe it or not?" ”

"The heart of the gentleman is unpredictable." Rong Jin smiled softly and said, "The courtiers don't dare to speculate on the Sacred Heart!" ”

Emperor Yongchang looked at Rong Jin's gaze, and suddenly it was like a blade.

Rong Jin smiled gently.

If it weren't for the fact that her face was too ugly at the moment, this gentle smile would be pleasing to the eye. It's a pity...... seemed to have thought of his current situation, and after Rong Jin smiled, he quickly lowered his eyebrows.

Emperor Yongchang clenched the hand hanging by his side, and after a pause, he continued to speak, "Where is the jade seal?" ”

If it weren't for his lack of strength, Rong Jin would really want to laugh a few times.

Could it be that the emperor has been in office for too long and has not been rejected for too long, so Emperor Yongchang thinks that if he asks her, he will answer? If this is the case, then she really wants to ask, before coming to Ziyun Pavilion, did the emperor take medicine?

"Where's the others?" Rong Jin put down all the thoughts in his heart, looked straight at Emperor Yongchang, and said word by word: "Where is Yan Li?" ”

"Yan Li?!" Emperor Yongchang's treacherous eyes surged in an instant, the corners of his lips pursed into a straight line, and his eyes looked at Rong Jin with a glow that was almost crazy, "You said his name is Yan Li?" ”

The corners of Rong Jin's lips also smeared a faint smile, looked at Emperor Yongchang coldly, and said: "That's right, his name is Yan Li, and he is the son of the first emperor and the princess of the Northern Qi Protector Yan Wufang!" ”

Although there had been a suspicion for a long time, but the facts were really revealed in this way, Emperor Yongchang's pair of treacherous eyes were still tight, and the hand resting on his knee was clenched more and more tightly.

He didn't know what kind of feeling he felt in his heart, as if it was a kind of relief that the dust had settled, and it seemed to be a kind of joy that was bright and bright. No matter which one it was, he knew that many of the doubts that had been bothering him suddenly became clear at this moment!

"I can't believe it's like this." After Emperor Yongchang chuckled, he shook his head and muttered, "It's really Yan Wufang...... Hehe......"

Rong Jin looked at Emperor Yongchang coldly.

Finally, Emperor Yongchang calmed down.

He looked up at Rong Jin again, his face was no longer as solemn as when he first saw him, but his eyes were still dark and deep.

"Do you want to exchange the jade seal for Yan Li?"

Rong Jin nodded.

Emperor Yongchang looked at Rong Jin, and suddenly fell silent.

Rong Jin's hand hanging down at her side couldn't help but tighten, if you listen carefully, you can still feel that her breathing is obviously much heavier than before.

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Emperor Yongchang was silent, Rong Jin was not urging, and as time passed, her heart slowly relaxed.

If, Yan Lizhen is as the prince said, dead.

Emperor Yongchang didn't have to hesitate for so long!

But Emperor Yongchang has been silent, which proves that things are really as she guessed.

Yan Li was fine, but hiding.

Rong Jin sighed slightly, and glanced at the cold and dark hall with a faint gaze.

From the moment she saw Li Kai in the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, she had a plan in her heart to stay in the palace.

No matter whether she wants to see Li Xi, or whether she wants to confirm whether the person Li Xi said is Yan Li. Or, if she wants to find Yan Li in this huge palace, she can only stay in the palace first.

She cautiously dealt with Li Kai, and even she had already made up her mind at that time, if Li Kai didn't make a move, she would take action to poison herself.

Fortunately, Li Kai made a move!

The corners of Rong Jin's lips pursed a shallow smile, but the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes.

She remembered that dream in her drowsy state.

It is said that before death, people can see some things that others can't see!

But she didn't die!

Then, who is Yan Li she saw, and who is the person who is so far away from Yan Li?

Everyone thought she was crazy, hitting the walls like that.

However, who would have thought that this was a secret between her and Yan Li?

Simplified and improved Morse code, three short and seven long, four heavy and six light.

Sue sΓΉ Yanli, she is here, she is very good, she is looking for him!

However, there was no response.

Rong Jin's smile slowly fell.

Yan Li didn't respond to him, was it because he didn't hear it, or because the secret passage didn't lead to the Purple Cloud Palace?

"What are you thinking?"

A cold question sounded in his ears.

Rong Jin collected his thoughts, and Huo Ran raised his head and looked at Emperor Yongchang who was looking at her.

"I'm wondering, if the emperor had known that the jade seal of the country could be obtained so easily, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts and killed me completely, so that now it ......?"

Rong Jin didn't finish his words.

Emperor Yongchang took her words and said: "So much so that now I can't regret it, but? ”

Rong Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth and gave Emperor Yongchang a noncommittal smile.

"Rong Jin," Emperor Yongchang looked up at Rong Jin abruptly, with a hint of mockery in his expression, and asked lightly, "Do you really think that I am determined to win the jade seal of the country?" ”

"Isn't it?"

Emperor Yongchang shook his head, "I am already the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, the whole world is mine, just a jade seal, I say it is true, it is true, I say it is fake, it is fake." ”

Rong Jin smiled, nodded, and said, "What the emperor said is right, this jade seal is already like a chicken to you, tasteless to eat, and it is a pity to abandon it." However, the emperor can't deny that for others, it is like a miracle medicine, and eating it can be immortal, and it can even be transformed into immortals! Do you say yes or no? ”

Emperor Yongchang's treacherous eyes slowly teased Rong Jin, was silent for a moment, and said coldly: "What do you mean?" Are you threatening me? ”

"No, I'm laying out the facts for the emperor and reasoning!" Rong Jin shook his head and said, "Of course, if the emperor thinks he is a threat, then take it as a threat!" ”

"You're so daring!" Emperor Yongchang snorted coldly, and said angrily: "Rong Jin, don't forget what kind of place this is!" And don't forget, whether you live or die is all up to me. ”

Rong Jin chuckled lightly, her laughter was slight, she raised her head to meet Emperor Yongchang's cold eyes, and said word by word: "Your Majesty, don't you still understand?" ”

Emperor Yongchang raised his eyebrows.

Rong Jin's eyes slid a sneering look.

"If I am afraid of death, why should I enter the palace? If I am afraid of death, why should I test the poison myself? If I am afraid of death, why should I say this to you? ”

Emperor Yongchang's gaze looked fixedly at Rong Jin's slightly raised face.

Yes, if Rong Jin is afraid of death, how can the rich and prosperous Changxing Mansion fall apart? How could the Yue Guo Mansion be demoted to a knighthood? How could Lord Chen die without turning a blind eye?

Thinking of Li Yichen's death, Emperor Yongchang's indifferent face became more and more like a layer of frost.

He looked at Rong Jin and nodded, "You are not afraid of death, but some people are afraid of death." ”

"Who could it be?" Rong Jin curled the corners of his lips and asked with a soft smile, "The Rong clan who was exiled three thousand miles away?" Or is it the people in my county lord's mansion and so on? ”

Emperor Yongchang didn't speak, just looked at Rong Jin coldly.

And, Rong Jin obviously didn't want Emperor Yongchang's answer, she shook her head and said funny: "Your Majesty, the only thing I care about in this world is only four people, but among these four people, two have died. The other two don't know the life and death, you may not know, if you can exchange it for the peace of their life, don't say that the Rong clan is the whole world, what if you dump it? ”

"Bold!"

Emperor Yongchang snorted, looking at Rong Jin's gaze like hellfire, as if he wanted to devour a qiΔ“ and destroy a qiΔ“.

Rong Jin smiled lightly.

Daring?!

Yes, she may not have anything else, but she is quite bold!

"That's it," Rong Jin smiled, and looked at Emperor Yongchang with a blank look, "Then don't go around in circles, all I want is Yan Li's peace, you give me people, I leave the jade seal, I can guarantee that in my lifetime, he and I will never set foot in Kyoto City again!" ”

"What if, I say no?"

"No?" Rong Jin smiled, "That's very simple, the emperor killed all the people in the royal family surnamed Li in this world except for you, by the way, your sons, it's best not to keep them." Of course, you have to guarantee that the concubines in your harem will never be able to give birth to a son and a half daughter for you, otherwise you will ......."

Rong Jin didn't say any more.

But the meaning of the words is already in place.

Does Emperor Yongchang understand?

Of course he understands, otherwise he wouldn't have blushed like a pig's liver and panted like a cow!

"Rong Jin, do you know that many times life is far more terrible than death?"

"Of course," Rong Jin nodded, "However, your Majesty, you can rest assured, if I don't want to live, even if the King of Hades wants to keep me until the fifth watch, I will definitely die in the third watch!" ”

Emperor Yongchang pursed his lips.

He let out a long breath, leaned slightly, and said softly: "Listen to what you mean, Yan Li has no intention in this world, but since it is unintentional, why did he enter Beijing?" Not to mention entering Beijing, he also entered and exited the palace three times and twice, what idea did he have, Rong Jin, do you dare to say that you don't know? ”

"If Yan Li really wants to sit in your position, he only needs to announce his identity to the world, and then bring the jade seal of the country and the edict of the first emperor to ask for help from the Zongren Mansion, and he doesn't have to do it like you said at all." Rong Jin said.

"The first emperor's edict?" Emperor Yongchang's eyes tightened.

Rong Jin smiled and nodded, "That's right, in addition to giving the jade seal of the country to Yan Li, the first emperor actually had an edict. ”

"What kind of edict?"

As soon as the words came out, Emperor Yongchang regretted it.

Even if there is such an edict, now that the entire army of the world is in his hands, why should he be afraid?

Besides, maybe there is no so-called edict of the first emperor at all, it's just that Rong Jin deceived him!

Emperor Yongchang couldn't help but secretly think about how to make up for his mistakes.

However, Rong Jin spoke again.

"Naturally, it's a legacy edict!"

Boom.

It was like a thunderbolt in front of him, blowing up Emperor Yongchang's eyes to the point of Venus, he shook his head and muttered, "This is impossible!" ”

"Why can't it be?" Rong Jin smiled and said, "If the first emperor didn't intend to pass the throne to Yan Li, why would he pass on the jade seal to him?" ”

Emperor Yongchang leaned back suddenly, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

And just then, a gust of wind blew in from outside.

The cyan tent was blown like waves after waves.

Rong Jin raised his hand and gently pulled the long hair covering his eyes, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Emperor Yongchang who looked stunned.

Outer Temple.

Feng Shou saw that the cyan tent was blown by the wind like a monster with teeth and claws, and there was no sound in the room for a long time, so he couldn't help but hesitate forward and asked softly: "Your Highness, it's late at night, and tomorrow will be early." ”

However, the inner sanctum was as if it were dead, and there was no sound.

Feng Shou was about to step forward with courage, and a thin and weak voice sounded in his ears at this time.

"Your Majesty, Yan Li, where is he?"

……

Jingqi Palace.

Yuan Guifei "plopped" and sat down in the chair.

Su Zhi wrung her brows and was about to speak, but when she saw that Yuan Guifei's face was white and bloodless, she swallowed the words that came to her lips.

She turned around and waved her hand, signaling the attendant who had come to report the news to step back.

After only she and Concubine Yuan were left in the main hall, Su Zhi stepped forward and said softly: "Niangniang, you have to find a way quickly." ”

"Yes, yes." Yuan Guifei nodded heavily, "We have to hurry up and find a way, we must not let that slut of Kong Jin wake up." ”

Su Zhi poured a glass of water and handed it to Yuan Guifei, "Niangniang, you drink saliva first and calm your heart, the slave has already asked people to send the news to the Rui Wangfu." Lord Wang, he will enter the palace secretly! ”

Yuan Guifei took the water handed by Su Zhi, but because she was too nervous, her hands trembled non-stop, and the porcelain cup made a sound of "choking, choking", such a sound in her ears undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Almost without thinking about it, Yuan Guifei threw the teacup in her hand to the ground.

The teacup was torn apart, and the splashed broken porcelain flew past her ears, her body woke up before consciousness, and the tingling pain on her cheek made her let out an exclamation.

"Ah...... My face! ”

Outside the hall, the palace people were frightened by these two sounds, and they didn't dare to breathe, and they all held their breath and stared, wishing that there was a crack under their feet, so that they could hide.

When Concubine Yuan's mournful shout sounded, Su Zhi had already rushed forward with a brisk step, she fixed Concubine Yuan's face, and after seeing that it was just a thin abrasion like a cow's hair, she let out a long breath and said softly: "Niangniang, it's just a little broken, don't move, the slave will go get the medicine." ”

Where does Yuan Guifei dare to move again.

It's that Rong Jin is not dead, and it's not as important as her hurting her face.

I wanted to cover it with one hand but didn't dare to cover it, and my mouth was deflated, and I cried out with a "wow".

At this time, Li Kai, who came in a hurry after getting the news and pretending to be an inner servant, suddenly heard the cry of Yuan Guifei, his heart sank, and he rushed in with three steps and two steps.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

As soon as Concubine Yuan saw Li Kai, she stood up, pointed to half of her face, and cried: "Kai'er, come and see, does it matter if the concubine's face is important?" ”

Li Kai saw that Concubine Yuan was so dignified, and his heart was relieved. When she heard Yuan Guifei ask about her face, she stepped forward to inspect it and asked softly, "Why did you hurt your face so well?" ”

"It's not that Rong Jin's slut who is angry!" Yuan Guifei said hatefully.

Li Kai, who was carrying half of Yuan Guifei's face, couldn't help but pause when he heard this, he twisted his brows and looked at Yuan Guifei, "Rong Jin is not dead?" ”

"Not dead." Yuan Guifei said hatefully. When the words fell, she remembered that Rong Jin saw Li Kai in the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts, and when she woke up, she grabbed Li Kai's hand and said urgently: "Kai'er, what should I do?" In case Rong Jin sued your father, saying that you had let her trick her into going to the Horse Zoo, it was also your poisonous hand to her...... Well, we're not dead! Woo...... I don't want to die, I don't want to die......"

Li Kai sighed, helped Yuan Guifei to sit down in the chair, took the medicine in Su Zhi's hand, and said softly: "You don't care about those, I will deal with it." Come, let's take care of the wound on your face first. ”

As soon as she talked about the injury, Yuan Guifei was suddenly diverted again, she turned back to Su Zhi and said repeatedly: "Su Zhi, hurry, go get the mirror, I want to take a look." ”

Su Zhi hurriedly took a target mirror inlaid with beads and jade and handed it to Yuan Guifei.

So, the next moment, Yuan Guifei scratched her head in front of the mirror.

Li Kai gave Su Zhi a look, Su Zhi quietly stepped forward to take the medicine in Li Kai's hand, Li Kai gave Su Zhi a look, and the next moment, he turned around and walked out
