Chapter 40: Whispering in a Dream

Yingzheng returned to Qinchuan Palace, it was still raining in the sky, and the sky seemed to be about to leak, and the rain was pouring down. Ying Zheng's trouser legs were wet.

Outside the door, the palace maid holding the umbrella took the umbrella and silently retreated between the queues of the palace maids. When the palace maids outside the door saw Yingzheng, they all saluted and said, "See the king." ”

The bony civet was sitting at the table eating vegetables, the corners of his mouth greasy. Fu Yuan stood aside. She raised her eyes when she heard the sound and saw Yingzheng coming forward.

The bone civet opened his mouth and asked hypocritically, "Your Majesty, are you eating?"

Although she didn't want to ask, now she was in Qinchuan Palace. In Yingzheng's dormitory, politeness is still necessary.

Ying Zheng glanced at the dishes that were about to be solved by the bone civet. In a blink of an eye, he ignored the civet cat, and only said to Fu Yuan beside the civet cat: "Fu Yuan, it is raining heavily today, so it is inconvenient to go to the soup pool." So he ordered a bath in the palace. ”

Fu Yuan said respectfully: "No." Then he went out and commanded the maid outside the door.

Yingzheng turned around and entered the back room, and faintly, the bone civet saw him take off his clothes.

The bony civet 'cut' with a sound. Continue to lower your head and eat the dish.

After a while, two eunuchs carried a large bucket into the inner room, and then several eunuchs carried several buckets of water and walked towards the inner room one after another. After a while, I heard the sound of pouring water in the back room. After the sound of the water stopped, several eunuchs retreated and left the palace.

After a while, several more palace maids entered the back room with towels, flower petals, and clothes.

The maids put down their bathing things, sprinkled some petals on the water, and then they all went out of the back room and exited the dormitory.

The bony civet sucked his chopsticks and looked curiously into the back room.

There was a screen between the inner room and the outside, but she could only vaguely see Ying Zheng's shadow reflected on the screen, and he sat in the bucket.

The civet pouted, "Isn't it just a bath?" ”

But I haven't taken a shower for a few days, and I feel like I want to take a bath too.

Fu Yuan entered the house and waited for the bone civet again.

When the bone civet saw Fu Yuan, she hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and shouted, "Fu Gonggong, I also want to take a bath!"

"This ......" Fu Yuan looked at the bone civet, a little embarrassed.

This will be the king bathing, the beauty said such a thing, didn't she want to imply that she wanted to take a mandarin duck bath with the king?

Ying Zheng sat in the bucket, the water was just deep enough to flood his chest, and he stiffened when he heard the sound.

Now in this Qinchuan Palace, this cat is saying such things. She wasn't ashamed.

Ying Zheng wiped his body casually and got up, got out of the bucket, and instantly put on his underwear and shoes. His black hair was shawl, wet at the ends, and soaked on the undershirt on his back.

Ying Zheng came out of the back room and glanced at the bone civet coldly. turned to Fu Yuan and said, "If she wants to wash, you can call someone to change the water, and let her wash it by the way." ”

As if he had been saved, Fu Yuan hurriedly said, "No." Then he turned and went out of the house again.

The bone civet smiled happily, waiting for the eunuchs to come and change the water.

Ying Zheng walked to the soft couch and sat down, and picked up the scroll he had placed on it today and looked at it.

Some of the eunuchs came in and carried the water from the house and poured it out. Repeating the previous action, he put the barrel back into the back room, full of water.

Before the palace maid could enter the inner room to change into bathing things, the bone civet couldn't wait to enter the inner room.

The barrel was steaming, and the bony civet probed the water with his hand. Warm, just right.

The bony civet lost his clothes, and she didn't care when they fell to the ground. She stepped on the wooden steps beside her, poked her feet and went into the water.

The maid entered the house, put flower petals on the wooden table beside her, and put on a new towel.

The palace ladies lined up to leave. When a palace maid saw the clothes that the civet had thrown on the ground, she thought it was going to be washed, so she bent down to pick it up and followed the queue.

After the maid left, the civet cat lay comfortably in the barrel.

The water is covered with flower petals. But the civet felt that the petals were not ordinary enough, so he grabbed the petals on the wooden table of the barrel and threw them into the water.

After the flowers were scattered, she exclaimed, "It's so comfortable!"

Ying Zheng sat on the soft couch outside the house and heard the sound. Yu Yu opened his lips and said, "Stupid cat." ”

Fu Yuan was also inside and outside the house, a little evasive in his heart, and his body was a little uncomfortable. He said to Ying Zheng: "Your Majesty, the slaves and maids will retreat first." ”

When Ying Zheng heard this, he nodded carelessly.

Fu Yuan turned around and exited the dormitory, closing the door of the dormitory.

In the dormitory, there are only two people left, Yingzheng and Gu Tani. Though one is in the back room, and the other is outside.

The rain outside the window was still falling, and it seemed that it had never stopped.

Ying Zheng turned his head to look and frowned.

He doesn't like rainy days the most.

Then he turned back and looked at the scroll.

After a long time, Ying Zheng felt sleepy, but he felt that there was no movement in the house.

Ying Zheng frowned, and said in his heart: The stupid cat drowned?

Xu was too comfortable, and at this time the bone civet was already sitting in the water, snoring and sleeping.

Ying Zheng accepted the scroll in his hand. Get up.

He walked up to the screen, turned his back to the back room, and said, "What's the matter? You took a shower and died in the bucket?"

The civet didn't make a sound, and Ying Zheng only heard the sound of even breathing coming from it.

Didn't you fall asleep? Ying Zheng frowned.

"Stupid woman, don't play dead. Ying Zheng raised his voice.

There was still no response from the back room.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng had no choice but to walk to the door of the dormitory and pushed the door open, but saw that there were only two eunuchs who were keeping vigil outside the door.

When the two eunuchs saw Yingzheng pushing the door, they all knelt down and saluted.

Seeing this, Ying Zheng sighed. He closed the door of the dormitory again.

He paced to the door of the back room. After standing still for a moment, it was as if he had made up his mind. Entered the house.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw the civet cat resting its head against the bucket very comfortably, and fell asleep.

Apparently, he guessed right.

The water just passed the spring color on her chest. Only the collarbone on the chest is exposed, and the white and tender neck is exposed. In addition to the red mark on the thin neck, such a scene should be even better.

Ying Zheng seemed to lose his breath for a moment, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away. But he paid attention to the 'Dream Fish' jade pendant that was left on the ground.

He stepped forward to pick it up. He scolded: "Stupid cat." ”

Placed the jade pendant on the table. Ying Zheng seemed to hesitate for a moment and came to the side of the bone civet. He slapped his hand on the civet head.

The bony civet woke up and hurriedly turned his head to look, the water splashing.

Ying Zheng heard the sound and turned his back.

When the bone civet saw Yingzheng, he exclaimed, "What are you doing! Come in and peek at me taking a bath!"

"What's so nice about you. Lone is just afraid that you will sleep and die here. Ying Zheng said coldly. Instead, he silently walked out of the back room with his hands behind his back. There was a hint of blush on his face unconsciously.

"You!" said the Bone Raccoon angrily.

Ying Zheng came out of the back room and just stood outside the screen. The bony civet suddenly exclaimed, "Where are my clothes!"

Ying Zheng frowned. He hadn't seen any clothes in the house just now.

"Yingzheng, just peek at me, why are you stealing people's clothes!" shouted the bone-cat.

Ying Zheng's face darkened. It's wrong to be kind to herself, but it's still your own, so it's better to let her sleep in the barrel for one night.

He snorted coldly, ignored the bony civet, and went to blow out the lights in the palace.

The civet was still in the back room and shouted, "You are in charge of people! You must have stolen my clothes!"

Ying Zheng didn't say a word and walked to the bedside. He took off his shoes and lay down on the bed very peacefully, closing his eyes. Turned a deaf ear to the cries of the bony civet.

Half loud, but there was no movement in the inner room.

Ying Zheng suddenly felt that his chest was wet. He frowned and opened his eyes to look.

As soon as I opened my eyes, a faint green eye appeared in front of me.

A wet black cat sat on Yingzheng's chest with a resentful face. The wet hair wet the underwear in front of Ying Zheng.

When Ying Zheng saw this, he knew that it was a bone civet, and he frowned. He said coldly: "Go down." ”

Although the black cat still looked resentful, it stuck out its tongue, but it still obediently got off Yingzheng's body.

"Stay away from me. Ying Zheng said in disgust.

He shifted his body for fear that the tanuki would wet him again.

Hmph, stinky man. The black cat shouted, but there were a few meows in his mouth: meow meow.

Ying Zheng carried the bone civet on his back, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile.

The bone civet can be regarded as listening to Yingzheng's words and leaving him, licking the hair on his body.

It's still raining heavily outside the window, and it's dripping.

After a long time, the black cat can be regarded as licking and drying. It stretched and lay down on the bed, ready to sleep.

Ying Zheng beside him suddenly shouted eagerly, "Don't! Father!" as if muttering in a dream.

The black cat looked puzzled. Yingzheng didn't move again.

Ying Zheng is in his dream.

But it was also a day of heavy rain.

Ying Zheng, who was only thirteen years old, knelt in front of a bed, his face full of tears. On the bed lay a man in a black dragon robe. The man's expression was haggard and his face was pale. He held Yingzheng's little hand as if he was unwilling.

The bedside was surrounded by female dependents and ministers, but vaguely there were still the appearance of Empress Dowager Zhao and Lu Buwei.

The man in the bed said weakly: "In the future, after Lone's death, he will be Lone's son." Zheng'er came to inherit the throne. ”

Ying Zheng shook his head desperately and cried: "Don't." ”

There was also a little boy on the side, also full of tears. He tried to step forward, but was stopped.

The man trembled and took out a piece of white jade from his sleeve, and he said weakly: "Don't be afraid, Zheng'er, this is a jade pendant made by your father for you, the words on it.... Ahem..... but it was also written by his father. Zheng'er should be obedient, this is the last gift his father gave to Zheng'er. ”

"Don't! Zheng'er doesn't, as long as my father is well!" Yingzheng cried.

The female ministers on the side all pretended to wipe their tears.

The man pulled Yingzheng weakly, as if he couldn't hold on. said: "Come, Zheng'er listens to it, and I have to say a word to Zheng'er for my father." ”

Ying Zheng kept sobbing and leaned forward.

The man raised his head as if he had exhausted all his strength, and whispered softly in Ying Zheng's ear in a volume that only the two of them could hear: "Poison ....."

Before he finished speaking, the man's body went limp, and the hand holding Ying Zheng loosened and lost his breath.

When everyone around him saw this, they all cried and shouted. cluttered up Yingzheng's ears.

Ying Zheng's ears rang, and only one word echoed: poison.
