Hanqing Palace

Cold...... Cold...... Cold...... Cold!

There is a piano sound ahead, who is stroking the piano?

Wisps of graceful and melodious piano sound, through the layers of clouds and mist, happened to fall around Zhaoxun's body. The petals that fall slowly, accompanied by the slightest music, plucked the string in my heart with tenderness. A song of soft intestines and a hundred turns, a song and three sighs are interpreted in the criss-crossing and twisting peach forest.

Who is it? Zhao Xun hesitated, stepping all the way, exploring everywhere. The sounds of heaven are endless, disturbing the spring water of the voice seeker, but he does not see him.

Looking for it, not far away, in the small pavilion, a graceful woman looms.

The music flows slowly, who is playing?

Could it be her?

Zhao Xun was curious, walked through the long corridor, stepped on the narrow moss slate, and walked...... Stop, the man seemed to be close in front of him, and far away in the sky, and kept walking, and kept walking...... But he couldn't walk to her, as if across a river from him, and could only look at each other from a distance.

"Who are you?"

"Who the hell are you?"

"Why are you here?"

"Why are you hiding inside and not showing your face for a long time?"

The sound of restlessness echoed in the depths of the peach forest. Zhao Xun frowned, I want to see, are you a human or an immortal? If the whole world is not the king's land, I will definitely find you.

He kept walking, and he kept walking...... The fog in front of him was thicker and thicker, and the figure of the woman in white slowly disappeared until it completely merged with the dizzy clouds and mist, and disappeared without a trace.

Zhaoxun's eyes were round, round, like a wheel spinning. The so-called Yiren, in the distance, is out of reach, he scolded violently: "Where have you been? I'll catch you someday! ”

The eunuch guarding the dragon bed in Zhaoxun heard his thunderous roar, a spirit, could it be that His Majesty woke up? The little eunuch cautiously lifted the curtain and glanced at it with bated breath.

It turned out that Zhaoxun was dreaming!

The little eunuch gasped, it was really not a good errand to accompany the Son of Heaven! He lowered the curtain again and paced back to his original position.

After an hour, the little eunuch raised his eyes and looked out the window, the sun is rising, Your Majesty should go to court! Why hasn't there been any movement, wonder if he has overslept! The little eunuch tiptoed to the side of the dragon's bed and called softly.

"Your Majesty...... It's time to go on the pilgrimage! ”

Zhao Xun whispered: "Who is it?" Who's calling me? ”

"Going to court?" Zhao Xun frowned dissatisfiedly.

Seeing that Zhao Xun didn't get up, the little eunuch hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty... Under...... It's time to go on the pilgrimage! ”

"On what court?"

Zhao Xun realized that he had dreamed, and the dream was so real, but where did the person in the dream go? Zhao Xun was annoyed, opened his eyes at first glance, grabbed the sword pressed on the pillow, the sword was unsheathed, the cold light was cold, and the cold pierced the curtain and forced the person outside the curtain.

The little eunuch leaning over outside the curtain didn't react in time, only to see a cold sword light, stabbing straight into his neck. Suddenly, he trembled like chaff, breathed a sigh of relief, gasped, and stammered for a while: "Your Majesty...... Under...... Cease...... Anger! Minion...... Damn it...... Shocked Your Majesty! ”

"Damn? ......" Zhao Xun coldly reprimanded.

Zhaoxun has always been cautious and resolute, and he doesn't like people to get too close. Even if he used to march and fight, there were only a handful of attendants around him, not to mention, he - now the Son of Heaven in Kyushu, of course, knows better than anyone what it feels like to "climb high and fall heavy", the closer to the center of power, the more cautious he must be. After all, he has been on the battlefield since he was a child, and he knows that in this world, supreme power is often established in killing.

After a long time on the battlefield, he is also accustomed to seeing people's hearts are sinister, so Zhaoxun often falls asleep with a sword. Garrisoned all year round, he has always slept lightly, and he hates that someone disturbs his sleep. People who have been in the deep palace for a long time naturally have some of his temperament clearly, in case they make mistakes in the future and their lives are not guaranteed. Today, I don't know which little guy who doesn't want to die, but he ignored this point, and the result can be imagined.

"Your Majesty...... Rest your anger, minions...... Damn it...... Please spare the minions! ”

"Do you know what I hate the most?"

"Your Majesty...... Under! The slave ......" The little eunuch was frightened by Zhaoxun's momentum, and he spoke incoherently, not knowing what to say and begging for mercy for himself.

A trace of sobriety flashed through Zhao Xun's mind, and he glanced at it, and the little eunuch with a frightened face outside the curtain was very new, he should be a newcomer, and he might not be clear about the rules of the palace, otherwise, there would be no such situation.

"Your Majesty...... Under...... Plentiful..... Life! "The eunuch outside the curtain kowtowed like pounding garlic.

There is a saying that "those who don't know are not guilty", not to mention him, Zhaoxun doesn't like to kill innocents indiscriminately, but despite this, he did not withdraw the sword around the neck of the little eunuch, but took the opportunity to remind those palace people who have different intentions.

Zhao Xun's cold and handsome face was swept up by anger, and he was instantly furious, roaring in horror like a thunderbolt: "I have forgotten my rules, and you dare to come to wait for me?" Aren't you afraid of death? ”

"Your Majesty...... Under! Spare the minions...... This is a cheap life! The little eunuch pleaded with tears.

"Why, I want to spare you?"

The sword in Zhao Xun's hand moved a little closer to the little eunuch's neck, only to see a thin blood stain, slowly overflowing, staining the collar red.

The little eunuch closed his eyes tightly, did not dare to breathe, and stood there as if he were at home. It is estimated that he knew that Zhao Xun was indeed angry, so he simply stopped struggling.

Zhao Xun was slightly stunned, this guy was a little interesting, and he actually stood there motionless and waited for death.

It is only when people face real death that all the fears in their bodies are aroused. Before that, no one understood what the concept of death was.

Zhao Xun was amused by the appearance of this little eunuch at the moment, and guessed the mind of this minion, since you want to die, I am not as good as you want. Zhao Xun stared at the person in front of him playfully, with an evil smile on the corner of his mouth, and the long sword swung up and down.

Seeing that the situation was unknown, the palace people in the main hall thought that Zhao Xun was angry, and they knelt together, holding their breath and concentrating, their bodies trembled slightly, their back clothes were wet, and bursts of cold air jumped wildly, and they bent their heads close to their ears and ten fingers clenched the floor, their joints made a faint sound, and their tongues trembled...... Please stop being angry! ”

Zhao Xun glanced at them, indifferent, his face like frost. And the person who knelt on the ground couldn't touch his mind, so he had to kowtow motionlessly to the ground.

At this time, the temple door was pushed open!

Xiao Shunzi saw the palace people kneeling on the ground, and Zhao Xun's long sword was still hanging on the neck of a little eunuch. He was extremely shocked, today, who annoyed Zhao Xun?

Xiao Shunzi was puzzled, his eyes fell on the side of Zhaoxun's dragon bed through the dim hall, and the little eunuch turned out to be his cousin, Xiao Dezi, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, something was wrong.

Xiao Shunzi hid the panic in his heart, carefully moved into the inner hall, pretended to be calm, and fell to the ground with a whip lightly, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty...... Stop, please! I don't know this little guy? ……”

Zhao Xun glanced at him, and shouted angrily: "Xiao Shunzi, usually you discipline the people under you like this? What to do and what not to do......"

Xiao Shunzi has been with Zhao Xun since he ascended the crown prince at the age of eight, and he knows his temperament very well. Xiao Shunzi breathed a sigh of relief, and said unhurriedly: "The slave knows his mistake, please let Your Majesty calm his anger!" Xiao Dezi has just entered the palace, and many rules are not yet understood, so please be merciful to His Majesty's subordinates. ”

Zhao Xun's frosty face was slightly angry, and he lost his previous anger, he withdrew his sword, and his face sank: "Take it down and discipline it well." ”

"Minions...... Obey! Thank you, Your Majesty! Xiao Shunzi's hanging heart was finally put in his stomach with peace of mind.

Xiao Dezi gasped for breath, and his life was finally saved! Today, I really saw what it means to have no eyes in a sword, and what it means to be a companion like a tiger? I was really scared today, and I sat on the ground with my ass collapsed.

"Your Majesty, this morning? ......" Junko said thoughtfully.

Zhao Xun whispered in Xiao Shunzi's ear: "You go to the Zhaode Hall to convey my will, and tell the ministers that there is something to do." ”

"Slaves obey the holy will!" Xiao Shunzi tilted his body slightly, and dragged Xiao Dezi to the side and walked out of the inner hall.

Outside the Hanqing Palace

"Smack!"

A crisp sound hit Xiao Dezi in the face, if Xiao Shunzi didn't know Zhao Xun's temper, otherwise, he wouldn't dare to intercede, otherwise Xiao Dezi wouldn't know how he died.

Xiao Dezi covered his swollen cheeks, and he didn't dare to say it when he was angry, and said, "Cousin, I know it's wrong, and I won't do it again in the future!" ”

"Still thinking about a next time? Seeing that you are pitiful, I let you enter the palace. Don't think that with me, you can do whatever you want. This deep palace is no better than at home, and it is difficult to save your life if you are a little careless, so you can do it yourself. People who are too self-righteous will not end well, and if they do it again, they will wait for death! "Xiao Shunzi splits his head and covers his face, which is a scolding.

"Cousin, I promise not to make an example!" Xiao Dezi responded unconvinced.

Xiao Shunzi was furious, if Xiao Dezi hadn't been his cousin, he wouldn't have waded into this troubled water, and scolded sharply: "Get out!" Now that you have figured out the rules of the palace, come see me again! After speaking, he hurried to the Zhaode Hall to deliver the decree.

Xiao Dezi stared at his distant back, one day, I will definitely trample you under my feet, see if you are still angry! Xiao Dezi turned his head and glanced at Hanqing Hall again, his body was still trembling, the tiger's buttocks couldn't be touched, he lifted his collar to cover the wound, and crawled away.

When Xiao Shunzi re-entered the Hanqing Palace, Zhao Xun was still sitting on the dragon bed, as if he was waiting for him. Zhao Xun needed an explanation from him, so he took the initiative to kneel down and admit his mistake: "Your Majesty, slave...... Knowing your mistakes, you must take care of the people in your hands in the future, please Your Majesty is angry! ”

Zhao Xun scoffed at his words and said lightly: "Recently, there are some people in the palace who are called me to live in peace!" Tell them that in my palace, it's best not to play any tricks, or you'll be killed! ”

"Slaves must be strictly disciplined, and they will never let those who have a heart make waves."

"Remember what you said! There are no disobedient minions in the palace! Let's go down! ”

Recently, some concubines in the imperial palace have been favored, and the minions below have begun to jump! The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven! For these, Zhao Xun has heard of it for a long time, and he just wants to take advantage of today's events to warn those ambitious villains, don't forget, who is the real master here!

"The minions are gone!"

Xiao Shunzi covered the curtain for Zhaoxun and left quietly! Zhao Xun borrowed a knife to kill people, how could Xiao Shunzi not know! It's just that Xiao Dezi didn't pay attention to the situation, so he hit the knife edge.
