Today is the day of the election of male officials in the palace, and the palace is busy. After a lot of selection, ten beautiful men were finally shortlisted. And this selection was also presided over by the emperor himself, so the court attached great importance to it.

Lost and disappointed outside, and borrowed wine to kill his sorrows, the Spring and Autumn finally returned to Shangshu Mansion. As soon as he came back, he went to Wanjun's room to reason with him, but he couldn't find anyone else.

He ran to the courtyard and shouted, "Du Wanjun, come out, don't hide, come out quickly......"

But he didn't see Wanjun appear after calling for a long time, he began to panic, and his heart was bottomless. Could it be that something happened to him? Otherwise, why didn't anyone answer after calling for a long time?

At this time, he happened to meet a magpie who hurriedly went out with his subordinates, and he saluted in the spring and autumn: "My lord! ”

Yique didn't pay attention to the spring and autumn, and just went out.

Seeing that he didn't hear it, Chunqiu hurriedly walked over and grabbed him and said, "My lord, where are you going, in such a hurry!" ”

"Today is the day when the emperor elects male officials!"

The servant replied.

Chunqiu glanced at this mouthy subordinate and continued to ask, "My lord, can you see Wanjun?" ”

When Yique heard that he was looking for Wanjun, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't speak. The subordinate standing on the side hurriedly interjected: "My family didn't see it, I didn't see it, I was busy, you really have no eyesight." My lord, let's go! ”

As he spoke, the servant took Yique's arm and left.

The more Chunqiu thought about it, the more wrong it became, why did Yique hear that he was looking for Wanjun, his face changed greatly, and he couldn't say anything. Today is the day of the election of male officials, is he afraid that Wanjun will make trouble and hide him?

He didn't have time to think about it, and continued to search.

He ran to Wanjun's room again and searched carefully, and found that the room had not been occupied for a day or two, could it be that something had really happened? His heart began to worry and fear.

......

"Your Majesty, get up, Your Majesty?"

The old eunuch knelt under the dragon couch and gently shook the emperor's arm.

"You dog minion, I just fell asleep, and I got up again!"

The emperor's eyes didn't open, he didn't know which male pet he was with last night until the second half of the night, so naturally he couldn't get up this morning.

"Yes, yes, the old slave should die, you shouldn't disturb the emperor's sleep, but today is the day you choose a male official!"

The old eunuch was afraid of angering the emperor, so he was paying attention everywhere.

"Let them wait, you go out!"

The emperor turned around and continued to sleep, ignoring the old eunuch at all.

The old eunuch looked up at the emperor who had his back to him, and thought that he couldn't wake up the emperor, so he could only tiptoe out.

The old eunuch said to the little eunuch standing outside: "Go back and tell the factory that the emperor is sleeping, let everyone wait." ”

The little eunuch immediately spread the word to Grandpa Wei's ears.

"Yique, what do we say, today's election of male officials still can't see the emperor, so you should act boldly!"

Grandpa Wei took a sip of the teacup on the table, looked at Yique and was still a little uneasy, so he smiled and said, "You, you still don't believe in our family!" ”

Yique raised his head and looked at Grandpa Wei, feeling uneasy and unsteady, but now he can only choose to believe him, otherwise what can he do?

"Gonggong, I believe in you, the current Daming can be said to be your word to Daming, your words are too useful than the emperor's words!"

Yique forced a smile and slapped Grandpa Wei's ass hard.

Gonggong Wei brushed the dust in his hand and said: "Lord Shangshu, you can't talk nonsense, this world belongs to the emperor, and our family is only doing our best to assist the emperor!" ”

How smart Father-in-law Wei is, he will make him make irresponsible remarks about himself, and he still says such rebellious things.

"Yes, that's what the factory said!"

Yique looked down on Gonggong Wei very much in his heart, and he couldn't wait to break this gelding dog into pieces, but on the surface, he still had to slap his beard and blindly cater to him.

"What are you going to do?"

Gonggong Wei glanced at Yique, he actually wanted to kick this waste away for a long time, but the time has not come, when this matter is over, he will not let Yique go easily.

Yique looked around a few times, walked to Grandpa Wei's side and said, "It's all ready!" ”

"Very well, then do as I say, and remember, don't let anyone know about our plan."

After Grandpa Wei finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Yique squinted his eyes, watching the back of the old gelding gradually fade away, and his heart was about to explode. When will he be able to get along so well with Wei Zhongxian and others? It's also so ironic.

He flicked his sleeves and headed towards the venue where the male officer was to be chosen. Everyone was preparing seriously, as if it was a great event in the palace, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces. You must know that the last major event and happy event in the palace was in the year when the emperor got married.

"Your Excellency, are you here?"

The little pipe in charge of the venue ran over and opened the first university question of officialdom - sycophancy.

"How's this venue going?"

Yique was unwilling to be at Gonggong Wei, and fell sideways in front of this petty official, posing as a villain.

"It's all set up, why don't you make a round?"

The petty officer stood behind Yique's side with a smile, and each of his teeth seemed to tell this Yique that he was doing well, he was doing well.

"No need, today's selection of male officials is very important, don't make a little mistake, in addition, the emperor may come a little later, to appease everyone's emotions!"

Yique just emphasized casually, he didn't know what would happen today. Grandpa Wei only told him to do what he said, and he didn't have to worry about the rest.

"Adult, little one understands, everything is done as you say!"

"Alright, let's go down and get busy!"

Yique made a big deal of this petty official, and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

......

"Wanjun, where are you?"

Chunqiu is still looking for Wanjun in Shangshu Mansion, he is almost finished looking for all the rooms in the mansion, and he is just short of Yique's room.

He lingered at the door for a while, and he was hesitating whether to go in or not, but there was only this last room left, and if he didn't go in, he didn't feel sure.

He swallowed his saliva and looked left and right a few times to make sure no one saw him before he pushed open the door and quickly went in and closed it again.

"Wanjun, are you in there? Wanjun? ”

Spring and Autumn tiptoed to Yique's room and began to search.

"Hmm, hmm, woo......"

Wanjun heard Chunqiu's voice, but his mouth was gagged and he couldn't make a sound.

"Chunqiu, I'm in it, I'm in it!"

Wanjun began to twist the chair as hard as she could.

Chunqiu didn't hear Wanjun's voice, let alone his inner call, and still searched the room.

As she searched, he found a jade pendant under the strange three-legged table.

He picked up the jade pendant and looked at it carefully for a long time before he remembered that it was Wanjun's jade pendant.

Chunqiu looked at Yu Pei, but he didn't know what was going on, he wondered if it was a magpie who kidnapped Wanjun, but then he thought, how could it be him, they have such a good relationship.

"If it's not a magpie, then why is Wanjun's jade pendant in his room?"

Frustrated and sad, he raised his fist and pounded it against the wall.

"Empty? How can it be empty? ”

Chunqiu was as surprised as if he had discovered a new world, and he knocked a few more times, and the wall really made an empty sound.

He wanted to move the table in front of him, to get closer to see if there was a door. But no matter how much he moved, he couldn't move the table.

"It's strange, it's just a table, why can't it be moved?"

He pushed the table wide of the table and pushed the wall with both hands, but there was no push at all.

"No, there must be a switch, otherwise why can't it be pushed?"

He took a closer look at the table in front of him, it was small and strangely shaped, and at first glance it was not intended for things. If he doesn't put something, then he is using it to cover something.

Chunqiu reached out to touch the bottom of the table as he thought about it, and when he touched the bottom of the table, he felt a circular protrusion under his feet.

"W-what is this?"

His brow furrowed, then he flipped the switch, and the moment he flipped it, the table moved with the wall. Immediately afterward, the door to the dark room was opened.

Spring and Autumn were taken aback, it's really different!

Wanjun saw the door open and happily began to twist the chair again.

"There is really a dark room, will Wanjun be locked in it? Wanjun, are you in there? Wanjun? ”

Chunqiu called Wanjun's name as he walked inside.

As he walked, he lit the lights on both sides of the darkroom. Slowly, the corridor in front of her was illuminated, and at the end of the corridor, Wanjun was tied to a chair.

"Wanjun!"

Chunqiu shouted and ran towards Wanjun.

"Wanjun, you have suffered!"

Chunqiu hugged Wanjun and cried bitterly. He thought that Wanjun was just like they said, not only using him, but also an ungrateful villain. But he was wrong, not only did he not take advantage of him, he did not leave him, but he was kidnapped by others.

Wanjun saw that the last person was still Spring and Autumn, and he was both relieved and moved. Ever since he heard that Chunqiu was looking for him outside, he couldn't stop crying.

Chunqiu hurriedly pulled out the cloth stuffed in Wanjun's mouth, touched his face and said, "Wanjun, I'm sorry, I'm too late, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" ”

Wanjun cried: "Don't say that, the person who should say I'm sorry should be me, it's my incompetence and failure to protect you that let you be tied up here by Yique." ”

Chunqiu untied the rope tied to Wanjun and said, "Why did he kidnap you, why did he hide you in the dark room?" ”

Wanjun suddenly stood up and shouted, "Oh no! ”

Chunqiu looked into his eyes in surprise and said, "What's wrong?" What's wrong? ”

"Yique and Gonggong Wei want to usurp the throne, just today!"

Wanjun took Chunqiu's hand and ran out.

"Quick, it's too late!"

Chunqiu was confused by Wanjun's words, and he didn't know what was going on.

"I saw Yique this morning, and he ignored me in a hurry, but how could he seek power and usurp the throne?"

Chunqiu didn't know what Wanjun said again, let alone why he said that. However, his appearance in Yique's dark room is a big problem in itself.

"I'll tell you again on the way, let's go quickly, it'll be too late if we don't leave!"
