"Okay!"

He Ling looked up at him with a smile, "Your Majesty, your clothes are wet anyway, why don't you come down together?" ”

"How did you come back?"

Afterwards, Yan Zhengtian couldn't figure out how he could ask such a sentence at that time.

Because of the proximity to the shore, Yan Zhengtian had already stood up after the initial panic, and was about to go ashore, when he heard the sound of water behind him, he turned around and faced a wet face behind him.

And Heling, who had already swam away, was stunned after hearing the loud noise behind him, and after a moment of silence, he swam back without hesitation.

Yan Zhengtian subconsciously stretched out his hand to keep it, he might as well be unstable under his feet, and then, with a "plop", he cut into the crescent pool!

"Crane Ling!"

Yan Zhengtian didn't realize it at first, but waited and waited, didn't wait for Heling to jump out of the water as before, he couldn't help but feel anxious, and he wanted to shout someone, but there was a sudden sound of "whoosh" in front of him, and the next moment, he saw Heling's face suddenly exposed to the water, but after seeing who the person in front of him was, Heling seemed to be frightened, first forgot to react, and then suddenly greeted without making a sound, and a fierce man plunged back to the bottom of the water.

Just when Yan Zhengtian could see his senses, Heling suddenly sank to the bottom of the water in an instant after turning a graceful arc.

Yan Zhengtian looked at it in a daze, he never knew that a person could be so graceful in the water, as if she was born to live in this water.

After walking about a cup of tea, Yan Zhengtian stood on the edge of the Taihu Lake stone about two feet high by the crescent pool, and his eyes fell on Heling, who was swimming in the water like a fish under the moonlight and suddenly noticed that someone was approaching.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Yan Zhengtian turned around and walked forward, and said as he walked: "You are guarding here, and no one is allowed to approach the Crescent Moon Pool!" ”

Tong Xi didn't dare to say more, lowered his head and stayed in place like a log.

Yan Zhengtian paused, his eyes were sharp like a sword out of the sheath and pointed at Tong Xi, it seemed that as long as Tong Xi said one more word, he would split him in half.

"The Emperor's ......"

"You stay here, I'll take a look."

I don't know, did she go to the crescent pool to play in the water?

Yan Zhengtian instantly remembered the palace maid named Heling who had slightly dark skin but was full of vitality.

Crescent Pool?!

Tong Xi immediately said: "Back to the emperor, this is the imperial garden, not far from here, is the Crescent Moon Pool." ”

"Where is this?" Yan Zhengtian suddenly asked.

After the two looked at each other, Tong Xi stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, the slave is going to take a look?" ”

Yan Zhengtian heard it, and Tong Xi also heard it.

Well?!

But at this moment, a series of gurgling water sounded in my ears.

Is it a good emperor, what he said doesn't count, and Tong Xi doesn't count if he says it! You have to ask the people of the world, you have to ask the Manchu Dynasty civil and military outside the Qianzheng Palace, you have to ask...... Yan Zhengtian suddenly felt excited.

Yan Zhengtian interrupted Tong Xi's words, lifted the corners of his mouth self-deprecatingly, and gave himself a mocking smile. Tong Xi is his person, and the words that come out of his mouth are naturally what he loves to listen to and wants to hear!

"Alright."

Tong Xi's body stiffened, and he subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, you are eloquent and strategic, and you know how to make good use of ......"

Yan Zhengtian's eyes drooped slightly, and fell on Tong Xi, "You have been by my side for thirty years, you say, can I be regarded as a good emperor?" ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minions are here!" Tong Xi stepped forward and answered softly.

"Tong Xi."

After Yan Zhengtian shouted the "Imperial Sister", he seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, and subconsciously looked to the side, only to find that Tong Xi was standing three steps away, and he didn't know if he heard the sound when he was right!

Although he is the first celebrity in front of the emperor, decades of life in the deep palace have taught him one thing. Here, many times you will be blind when you should be blind, and you will be deaf when you should be deaf, otherwise, you will really be blind forever!

Your Majesty, he, he...... Tong Xi sighed secretly, stepped back quietly, and opened the distance between him and Yan Zhengtian.

Tong Xi's body stiffened, and he looked up at Yan Zhengtian, who was standing in the dark, sad.

"Sister Huang!"

"Yan Zhengtian, that position, if I want it, what else do you want? If you don't listen to the words of the imperial sister, take your wife as a concubine, you will always be in trouble, and in the future, your relatives will abuse your power, and the Yan family will be destroyed in your hands! You are the sinner of the Yan clan! It's because I'm blind that I think you can be a good emperor......"

"Zhengtian, don't be afraid, with the imperial sister here, no one wants to bully our sisters and brothers, no one wants to take away your things!"

When Yan Zhengtian heard this, he couldn't help but pause, and his memory seemed to return to that winter thirty years ago.

Thirty years!

"If you go back to the emperor, the slave was on an errand in front of the emperor at the age of five, and it has been thirty years now!"

"Tong Xi, how many years have you been by my side?"

Yan Zhengtian, who left the Linhua Palace, walked aimlessly in the huge palace with Tong Xi one after the other.

Only then did Yumei turn around and enter the inner hall to report to the Helan clan.

Xiao Nei replied with a "yes", and after bowing, he hurriedly retreated.

Yumei handed the prepared purse to the little waiter, "Take it, go back and thank my father-in-law." ”

Fengtai Hall is Yan Zhengtian's own dormitory, and occasionally summons concubines to sleep there.

At this time, the little waiter who got the eyes of Tong Xi hurriedly turned back and entered the Linhua Palace, and said to Yumei who was waiting under the eaves of the corridor: "Aunt Mei, the emperor did not indicate which nobleman to rest, and eighty percent of them rested in the Fengtai Palace. ”

When the words fell, he strode forward like a negative spirit, and Tong Xi hurriedly followed.

"I'm not old enough to walk!"

Tong Xi gave the little waiter behind him a look, and was about to step forward and reach out to help Yan Zhengtian, but Yan Zhengtian waved his hand and refused.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shaking his head, Yan Zhengtian opened his mouth and said, "Tong Xi, you can go with me." ”

Yan Zhengtian looked up at the Linhua Hall hidden in the night behind him, he was originally going to stay in the Linhua Hall tonight, but he left suddenly, he was the emperor, and the women of the entire harem were waiting for him to go to Linxing, but tonight, he was really not interested.

In which palace do you rest?

Tong Xi shook his head and said softly: "Which palace does the emperor plan to rest in, so the slave can order it to go down." ”

Yan Zhengtian looked back at Tong Xi, "Something?" ”

Tong Xi's hesitant voice sounded behind him.

"Your Majesty."

He doesn't know what's wrong, lately, he has been irritated by Ah Xinhui from time to time.

When Yan Zhengtian looked at the sparse and bright stars in the night sky, he couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Out of the Linhua Palace.

Helan didn't have time to think about it, he stood up and was about to chase out, but he was blocked by Yan Zhengtian's raised hand.

She quickly reviewed when she had offended the person in front of her, and she was fine before, only after mentioning the princess of the protectorate...... Helan was still thinking about it, Yan Zhengtian had already picked up his feet and strode out.

Helan's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.

Yan Zhengtian waved his hand, "It's too stuffy in the house, I go out for a walk, you don't have to wait for me, let's rest first." ”

"Your Majesty!" Helan hurriedly followed and stood up.

Almost without thinking about it, he rolled over and sat up.

Yan Zhengtian was stunned at Helan's reddish eyes, and a touch of irritation arose inexplicably in his heart.

Helan hurriedly gathered his thoughts, and the moment he raised his head, he blinked the tears in his eyes, and said with a smile: "The concubine is here." ”

Yan Zhengtian's puzzled voice sounded in his ears.

"Ah Xin, Ah Xin......"

If you were still here, why would you be where you are today?

Sister, why are you leaving?

The corners of Helan's eyes suddenly became wet.

"If he Yan Zhengtian has to rely on women to take the throne, then it's better for him not to be the emperor, even if he does, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it for long! If you want to get the throne by marriage, I want to ask, is this Jiangshan still surnamed Yan? Ah Xin, don't be afraid, my sister will make decisions for you, with me Yan has no time, no one can think about being difficult for you, difficult for my younger brother! ”

Although her status is not low, she can't help him because her father died and has no brother, so she wanted to be ruthless and separated from him. No, when the princess found out, she found her and sued her.

Not only will I not forget it, but I am afraid that I will remember it until I die!

Helan nodded, of course she remembered, how could she forget jì?

"Ah Xin, do you remember what the imperial sister said when she knew that you and I were secretly in love?" Yan Zhengtian asked suddenly.

Helan pursed his lips and slowly lowered his eyes.

Yan Zhengtian smiled softly, and at the end, he sighed and said, "I don't know if it's because of my age, recently, I often think of the imperial sister, I think I have forgotten many things, but recently I often think about it." ”

"Your Majesty, how can you compare her to a princess?"

"What's wrong?" Yan Zhengtian looked at Helan and asked, "Why are you looking at me like this?" ”

A strange look appeared on Helan Clan's pale face, and he looked at Yan Zhengtian without saying anything.

Yan Zhengtian waved his hand, "Don't ask Rong Jin with the world's ideas, I think she is very similar to the imperial sister!" My imperial sister, how could it not have been like this back then? ”

At that time, people valued filial piety, and they had only heard of their fathers killing their children, but how could they have ever heard of their children killing their fathers? This is a great crime to kill the head! Isn't she Rongjin afraid of the world's leisurely mouth?

"But ......"

"How could she kill her father, didn't she?" Yan Zhengtian looked up at Helan Clan, and a touch of gloom flashed in his slender eyes, "It's not strange at all, didn't Li Rongyue say it, she didn't even let go of her own ancestors and uncles, what is it for Han Cheng, a father who only gives birth but does not raise him, to kill him?" ”

"Rong Jin?!" Helan was suddenly shocked, "Isn't Rong Jin Han Cheng's biological daughter?" How could she ......"

"Tong Xi talked back, Han Cheng said that it was not those dead soldiers who hurt him, but Rong Jin!" Yan Zhengtian said in a deep voice.

Helan Shi's smiling face suddenly stiffened, and he lost his voice: "Why not?" Could it be that our plans are on a business trip? The words fell but shook his head frequently, and said: "No, the whole process is the hand of Yan Ke's people, and it has no connection with us, so it is impossible to ......."

Yan Zhengtian shook his head.

"Your Majesty," Helan saw that Yan Zhengtian's interest was not very high, and he couldn't help but hesitate and ask tentatively, "Do you say that Rong Jin and Yan Li will face up to that side?" ”

Yan Zhengtian was noncommittal.

After Helan himself took a cup of tea and drank it, he tasted it carefully, nodded and said, "Well, it does have a faint plum fragrance." It's a pity that I only received one urn last year, and this year I have to collect more and bury it. ”

Yan Zhengtian took it, took a sip, nodded and said, "Yes, with a faint plum fragrance." ”

Helan smiled and stuffed the peeled flesh into his mouth, took the handkerchief handed by the palace man and wiped his hands, picked up the tea cup that was cold on the side and presented it, "The emperor repaid it, it was soaked with last winter's plum snow." ”

Yan Zhengtian smiled, and when he saw Helan sending another one, he waved his hand, "Don't eat it, it's too sweet, it's greasy." ”

Concubine Helan personally took the crystal plate on the table, peeled the fresh grapes inside, forked them with silver skewers, fed Yan Zhengtian, who was half-leaning and half-sitting, and said softly: "This year's grapes taste much sweeter than last year's. ”

Since the accident of His Royal Highness Yan Yi, the Linhua Palace, which has been lifeless, finally has a little anger.

Linhua Palace.

……

After bowing his head slightly and imprinting a light and shallow kiss on his finger, Fang said: "A big husband can't be without power for a day, and a little woman can't be without money for a day!" ”

Yan Li raised Rong Jin's boneless hand, looking at the slender fingers in front of him, which were as long as a plate of mutton fat, it was hard to imagine that it was this hand that shot such a sharp sword!

"Huh?"

"Jin'er, there is a sentence I don't know if you have heard."

What does King Wen Jin mean?

Yan Li smiled.

"Seen it?" Rong Jin's face bloomed with joy, and he couldn't help but look at Yan Li with clear eyes, "What does King Wen Jin mean?" ”

Cui Jinyan nodded, "I've seen it." ”

After a pause, Rong Jin asked softly, "Yan Li, have you seen King Wen Jin?" ”

He abides by and maintains the princess's words of the day, and the prince is different from the concubine, and the young and the young are orderly. Suddenly, it was not so easy to get him to change his position.

Cui Jinyan is not an imperial party or a post-party, he is a rare person who still maintains his original intention.

Rong Jin nodded.

"What he means is that it's too serious, and he needs to think about it." Yan Li said.

"What about Lichu......"

In other words, Cui Jinyan is trying to repay her favor?!

"I originally wanted to transfer the nearby Fengwei to come to help, but Cui Jinyan said no, you saved Cui Rui's life that day, and this person should be returned by him!"

Yan Li let go of the jade comb in his hand, got up and sat on Rong Jin's side, took her hand and massaged the acupuncture points on her hand while saying: "At the appointed time, you didn't go back to the palace, I went to find An Shun Hou first, An Shun Hou sent someone to keep an eye on Yan Ke, and I went to Cui Mansion." When the farewell came out, An Shun's people came over and said that there were a group of dead soldiers in General Wei's mansion who went to the coffin alley on Pingqiao Street in disguise. ”

"Why did Cui Jinyan come to save me?" Rong Jin asked with a different topic.

Young Master Yan, is it really good for you to be so cruel?

Rong Jin: "......"

"Why is it the Ecstasy Incense in the dream, instead of the Ten Poisons Broken Intestines?" Yan Li asked.

Rong Jin nodded.

"Ecstasy in your dreams?" Yan Li looked at Rong Jin.

Rong Jin raised his head to Shang Yanli's delicate face, "Then you must not know how unpalatable those meals with the fragrance of ecstasy in dreams are." ”

"I know!" Yan Li said.

Rong Jin lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips curled up with a thin smile, and said softly: "I didn't plan to have dinner at the Zhanwang Mansion today." ”

"But what?" Yan looked at Rong Jin puzzled.

Rong Jin instantly remembered Han Hua's emaciated face that did not look like a human shape, smiled, nodded and said: "You have a point, even if you are aiming at the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Chao Cheng's hands, Yan Zhengtian will not embarrass him, but ......"

Yan Li continued the movements in his hand, groaned slightly, and said, "Yan Ke, don't worry, Wei will clean her up." As for Han Cheng and Yan Zhengtian...... Even if Han Cheng really saved people today, Yan Zhengtian wouldn't do anything to Han Cheng! Up and down, there is no one who wants Yan Yi to sit in that position more than Han Cheng. ”

"I just asked you, those dead soldiers are dead, what will Yan Ke do next? Also, do you think it is useful for Han Cheng and Yan Zhengtian to make this plan to sow discord? Rong Jin asked.

I guess I'm asking what's wrong with you, right?

What's wrong?

Only then did he suddenly come back to his senses, but he had always been accustomed to hiding his feelings, that is, he was flustered in his heart, but his face was not visible, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked softly to Shangrong Jin's eyes illuminated by candlelight: "Well, what's wrong?" ”

His heart was beating like a beat, and he even paused for the movements in his hands, until Rong Jin's voice with doubts sounded in his ears, "Yan Li? ”

The neck bone, which is as white as jade and looks like a fine bone china, raises a graceful arc, because it is wearing a plain white cigarette shirt, vaguely revealing the grass-green embroidered spring flowers on the chest inside...... He only felt a flush on his face, and glanced at it quickly, but it seemed that something was hooked, and he couldn't help but want to take another sneak look.

Yan Li's gaze fell on Rong Jin's slightly raised neck.

"Well, you say, what will he do now that he knows that we are all right, but all the dead are dead?" Rong Jin widened her pair of bright eyes as bright as pearls and looked at Yan Li and asked, without waiting for Yan to leave, she said, "Also, on the side of the War King, what kind of attitude do you say Yan Zhengtian will have?" ”

Now that Yan Yi has become a living dead, Yan Ke is just to please the beauty, and then maybe he has been suppressed for so many years to relieve the stuffiness of the heart, so the possibility of doing such a stupid thing is really great!

The biggest contenders for the throne are none other than Yan Yi and Yan Ke, one has won the emperor's heart, and the other is from the Middle Palace.

Rong Jin thought about it and felt that Yan Li had a point.

The words fell, but he snorted lightly, and snorted angrily, "Idiot! ”

"Who said that?" The corners of Yan Li's lips curled up with a sneering arc, threw away the handkerchief in his hand, took a jade comb, and sent it for Rong Jin, saying: "He thinks that now Yan Yi is like a living dead, and no one can compete with him for that position, and he thinks that if he moves his hand outside the palace, even if we doubt it, we will not suspect him!" ”

"Heh......" Rong Jin sneered, raised his eyes slightly, looked at Yan Li above his head, and asked: "I can't see it, your little cousin is still an infatuated species who wants a beauty and doesn't want a country!" ”

Yan Li nodded, "Those people are not first-class dead soldiers, if it is really Wei's meaning, there must be a backhand." ”

"I see, it was sent by Empress Wei to appease me, and I think about it, this time, Yan Ke should be hiding from Empress Wei." Rong Jin said.

In the room, Rong Jin lay on the chaise longue by the window according to Yan Li's request, and Yan Li wiped her slightly wet hair with a clean handkerchief, and there was no sentence in her mouth to tell Yan Li about the purpose of Wei Xiu's coming.

"If you have anything to say, let's go to the side and say it, don't argue with the girl and Young Master Yan."

When Xinghua heard this, her eyes turned red, and she wanted to say something more, but she was pulled out by Xingyu.

Xingyu took her sister in her arms, raised her hand and pinched her face, which had plumped up a lot recently, "Well, don't you think it's good now?" Don't worry, don't be afraid, if I really have something, she will take good care of you. ”

Xinghua breathed a sigh of relief, but her face turned pale and said, "You don't know, when I heard the news, my feet were weak, and I was afraid that you and the girl would have something to do." ”

Xingyu shook her head with a smile and said softly, "No." ”

As soon as she came out, Xinghua, who was on duty outside the door, stepped forward with palpitations and grabbed her hand tightly, "You, you're not hurt, are you?" ”

Xingyu re-brewed two hot teas and then retreated.

The two of them went into the hall hand in hand.

When Rong Jin heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and said to Yan Li, "Go in and talk." ”

Yan Li shook his head, pointed to a purse with exquisite workmanship, and said, "This is filled with a variety of medicines, and mosquitoes can't get close!" ”

"You haven't been bitten by bugs, have you?" As he spoke, Rong Jin looked up.

There are many mosquitoes in summer, and after the rain, mosquitoes are even more infested.

The words fell, and he raised his chin in the direction of the phoenix tail bamboo.

Yan Li shook his head, "No, I just came, I heard Xinghua say that she came, so I waited there." ”

Rong Jin was about to turn around and enter the house, but the moment he looked up, he saw Yan Li walking out from behind the lush phoenix tail bamboo in the west back corner of the courtyard. This is...... After being stunned, she walked out quickly, stepped forward and asked, "Have you been here for a long time?" ”

Soon, Wei Xiu took the little palace people into a blurred figure, and finally disappeared.

The summer nights that have been watered by the rain are a little less stuffy and a little more clear.

Rong Jin finally refused, and insisted on sending Wei Xiu out of the threshold, but at Wei Xiu's insistence, he didn't go out. Just stood there, watching Wei Xiu leave.

Wei Xiu raised his hand to stop it, "No, the road is slippery in the rain, and the girl is resting." ”

"I'll send my aunt." Rong Jin stood up.

The two of you said a few words one by one, and at the end, Wei Xiu looked at the hourglass on the table, got up and said goodbye, "It's not early, Niangniang is still waiting for me to reply, the girl has a good rest, sleep, get up tomorrow, and everything will be fine." ”

Rong Jin nodded, "Yes, it's not too coincidental, fortunately, there is a prince to send him all the way, otherwise it would be really dangerous." ”

"What a coincidence." Wei Xiu said with a smile.

"Oh," Rong Jin said with a smile when he heard this, "Originally, Shen Shi was going to come back for a moment, but everyone was chatting happily for a while, and they forgot the time. Later, when the carriage traveled to Pingqiao Street, it encountered a crowd fighting. The coachman drove the carriage to the coffin alley, and later encountered the ambush. ”

Wei Xiu raised his eyes, looked at Rong Jin with a smile, and said softly: "This thing is also quite weird. However, why didn't the girl go to Pingqiao Street, but went to the alley where no one usually walks? Also, it is said that the key will be dropped in this palace, and the girl should come back before the unitary time, and the princess used to live in the palace, so it is impossible not to know! ”

Rong Jin lowered his eyes, as if he had never noticed it, he held his cheeks with one hand, looked at Wei Xiu with the other, and asked, "Auntie, I can't figure it out, I didn't have a grudge with anyone in this Northern Qi, how could I be ambushed and killed by someone in a good manner?" You are the old man in this palace, you can think about it for me. ”

On Wei Xiu's dignified face, the exquisitely trimmed eyebrows frowned almost invisibly.

"I also asked my aunt to thank my mother for her grace, fortunately, there is a war prince, I have nothing to do, I was just scared, it's just that the war prince is ......" After a pause, his face could not hide the pain, and he said in a low voice: "Auntie, you don't know, a lot of blood has been shed, a lot of people have died, and the whole street has been stained red with blood." ”

Taking the sweet white bowl on the red lacquer tray in Xinghua's hand, although the ginger soup is still steaming, the temperature is very suitable. After Rong Jin drank it in one go, he handed the bowl back to Xinghua, and when Xinghua retreated, he raised his eyes again to look at the gentle and dignified Wei Xiu.

"Girl, this is the ginger soup that has just been cooked, you drink it while it's hot to drive away the cold on your body."

Rong Jin smiled and motioned for Wei Xiu to sit down, but Wei Xiu was not polite and sat down again.

When Wei Xiu came out as early as Rong Jin, he put down the teacup in his hand, stood up, listened to Rong Jin's words, quickly shook his head with a smile, and said softly: "No, the slave maid has just arrived." ”

Rong Jin smiled and said to Wei Xiu, who was in the outer hall.

"Keeping my aunt waiting."
