"It turns out that Concubine Jing is also on the holy decree." Gu Jiao suddenly realized, "No wonder she wants to steal the holy decree and hide it." ”

Xiao Liulang snorted: "One is to save his life, and the other is to hold the last hole card." ”

Gu Jiao put her hands on her cheeks and said thoughtfully: "My aunt will not be coerced by anyone, even if she really takes out the holy decree and says, 'If you don't agree to my conditions, I will announce the holy decree to the world and die with you', my aunt will not give in." So ......"

Xiao Liulang nodded: "So the most dangerous step for her is to really die with her aunt." ”

Gu Jiao slapped on the table: "This bad woman!" ”

Xiao Liulang looked at her fried little appearance, although it was a little undeserved, but a smile flashed in his eyes.

Of course, the thought of his aunt's situation made his smile disappear.

Seeing the Divine Decree was something that happened when he was a child, and it wasn't something he cared about very much at the time, so that memory had long been drowned in his long river of memory.

If Gu Chengfeng hadn't mentioned it this time, he might not have read that memory for the rest of his life.

"Gotta steal the decree back." Can't let Concubine Jing hold such a time bomb in her hands, Concubine Jing's immortal Gu Jiao doesn't care, but her aunt can't accompany her to hell.

Xiao Liulang said: "Before that, don't push her too quickly, lest she impulsively burn with her aunt." ”

"Hmm." Gu Jiao finally understood what her father-in-law's note meant by not acting rashly, with Concubine Jing's current situation, they were really not suitable to stimulate her anymore.

This woman has gone mad, and who knows what she will do in a fit of rage.

"Ugh." Gu Jiao sighed.

She folded her hands on the table, her little head drooping and resting on the back of her hand.

Xiao Liulang didn't hold back again, raised his hand and touched her fluffy little head: "I won't wait too long." ”

"Hmm!" Gu Jiao nodded.

She believed in him.

Trusted enough not to ask about his plans.

"The words ......," she straightened up in thought.

Xiao Liulang quietly withdrew his hand, the soft touch of her hair still remained in his palm, and he rubbed his fingertips lightly.

Gu Jiao didn't notice his little aftertaste, she looked at him suspiciously, "What kind of person is the first emperor?" Why did he want his aunt and Concubine Jing to bury him? ”

Xiao Liulang paused, his first reaction was to leave his mother and son, and after thinking about it carefully, he wasn't sure if this was the case.

It is difficult for him to describe what kind of emperor the first emperor was, the first emperor had already passed away when he was born, and all the knowledge of the first emperor came from the documents of the first emperor and some rumors he heard.

But judging from a series of arrangements before the death of the first emperor, he was a man with means.

Let the Empress Dowager Zhuang and Concubine Jing be martyred, probably because they saw the influence of these two on the new emperor, worried about the dictatorship of their relatives, the fall of the power of the court, or the first emperor had other plans.

The emperor's mind is deeper than the sea, who can guess it?

For example, he couldn't understand why Princess Xinyang also had a dragon shadow guard in her hands?

In the end, Xiao Liulang had to say to Gu Jiao: "One day, the truth will be revealed." ”

He didn't say he didn't know, of course he didn't, but if she wanted to know, he would find out.

Xiao Liulang looked at the endless night: "It's not early, you should go back and rest." ”

Gu Jiao nodded: "Well, then I'll come to see you tomorrow night." ”

Xiao Liulang looked at her and did not refuse: "Okay." ”

After Gu Jiao left, Xiao Liulang turned off the lights and lay on the slightly thin bed, Gu Jiao asked the snack box that Gu Chengfeng brought him to place quietly on the bedside table.

The night was quiet, but his mind was not calm.

Someone disobediently scurried around in his head, and it took a lot of effort for him to regain the initiative in his own mind.

He began to ponder the matter of the divine decree.

The holy decree was left by the first emperor, and even the current saint cannot fail to obey it, although the Empress Dowager Zhuang and the Zhuang family are powerful, but they have not yet reached the point where they can compete with the edict of the first emperor.

As a harem woman, Empress Dowager Zhuang has done too many things that are not tolerated by the world, and the first thing is to listen to politics.

The reason why the old departments of the first emperor did not attack the Empress Dowager Zhuang was that the Empress Dowager Zhuang did have the means to suppress them, and the second was that the last period of the emperor's reign was due to serious illness and could not go to the court, and the Liu family was ambitious.

The first emperor did not have time to remove the virtuous and virtuous, and the power of the prison country died.

Xiao Liulang guessed that the first emperor probably felt that he left a holy decree to let the virtuous queen be martyred anyway, so it didn't matter if he was withdrawn or not.

It's a pity that the chess was one trick off, and the holy decree was stolen by Concubine Jing.

After the virtuous and virtuous emperor, the first emperor helped her to the position of supervising the country, and after the new emperor ascended the throne, she continued to listen to the government, so she did not provoke the old emperor's disgust so much.

But as soon as this holy decree comes out, the old department of the first emperor will inevitably bite the Empress Dowager Zhuang into the imperial tomb like a hungry wolf.

So what Gu Jiao said was right, the holy decree could not continue to fall into the hands of Concubine Jing, and she had to find a way to steal it back and destroy it.

It's just that with the Dragon Shadow Guard, it's hard for them to succeed.

"Dragon Shadow Guard." In the darkness, Xiao Liulang squinted slightly.

The next night, Gu Jiao really came, brought Xiao Liulang's favorite spicy beef, skewered it with bamboo skewers and put it in the jar, and the two sat in the house to skewer it.

"I'll be here tomorrow?" Before leaving, Gu Jiao asked him.

Xiao Liulang laughed lowly: "After the exam is over tomorrow, I can go back, I don't have to come over." ”

Gu Jiao: "Oh. ”

She wanted to come.

In the middle of the night, I secretly masturbated with him, which was fun.

Xiao Liulang was an invigilator and did not participate in the marking, so he packed his baggage and left the Gongyuan after the exam.

It wasn't too late, he went to the Hanlin Academy first, and dealt with the official business of the three sunsets.

Since he confronted Mrs. Zhuang once outside the Hanlin Academy, there are not many people on the side of the Hanlin Academy who dare to find his faults openly, everyone knows that he is going to invigilate, not playing blindly, and not daring too much to assign him official duties, it is nothing more than the sorting out of some scriptures.

He spent an afternoon sorting out the scriptures, and then sent them to Master Han.

When he came back from Bachelor Han's office, he met Ning Zhiyuan probing his brain near his office.

"Something?" He stepped forward and asked.

Ning Zhiyuan turned around when he heard the words and said, "I just heard that you are back, how is it?" Did the proctoring go well? ”

Xiao Liulang thought of the picture of having sex with someone at night, and couldn't help but laugh: "It's going well." ”

Ning Zhiyuan gave him a strange look: "You kid...... It's not normal to laugh. ”

Xiao Liulang lowered the corners of his lips, smiled between his eyebrows, and said, "You came to me to say hello?" ”

When it came to business, Ning Zhiyuan didn't continue to joke with him: "That ......"

Ning Zhiyuan scratched his head, and said embarrassedly: "I brought my family to the capital, just your sister-in-law, your sister-in-law asked me to bring my friends to sit at home, I don't have any friends in the capital, so I will ask you...... I won't be free to ...... any day."

When he asked this, he was actually very worried, don't look at him and Xiao Liulang are the same three tripod armor, their identities and encounters are actually very different.

He is also a person who the emperor likes, but the emperor treats him differently from Xiao Liulang after all, of course, the main reason is that the two have different abilities, he is self-aware, and there is no jealousy.

It is...... It's a bit inferior.

Xiao Liulang not only won the emperor's appreciation, but also heard that the relationship with the Queen Mother was also good, otherwise he would not be able to suppress Mrs. Zhuang.

If such a person is friends with himself, is he climbing high?

What's more, he doesn't have much money, the house is rented, and the family is quite shabby.

Thinking so, Ning Zhiyuan didn't wait for Xiao Liulang to answer, and hurriedly refused for Xiao Liulang: "But the Hanlin Academy has been very busy recently, so we shouldn't be available......"

"Okay." Xiao Liulang said.

"Huh?" Ning Zhiyuan was stunned.

Xiao Liulang said: "I'll go back and ask my lady when she is free, and visit her with her." ”

Ning Zhiyuan was stunned: "Ah......"

This, this, this is promised?

……

Gu Jiao came to the Gongyuan to see Xiao Liulang twice, Xiao Liulang learned some of the current situation from Gu Jiao's mouth, and he decided to go to the palace.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Xiu asks to see you."

In the imperial study, Father-in-law Wei whispered.

The Emperor paused his hand for a moment, pressed his somewhat tired head, and said, "He hasn't been here for a few days." ”

Gonggong Wei hurriedly said: "Xiao Xiushu went to the Gongyuan to invigilate the examination for three days. ”

"Ah, the exam of the sixth." The emperor almost forgot about this, the six departments have an assessment every year, usually in June, this year due to the visit of the envoys of the Liang State, the palace examination has been postponed for a month, not to mention the six assessments.

This kind of assessment is not attended by all officials, but only a random examination, which is presided over by the Hanlin Academy, but it is also very strict.

"Let him in." The Emperor said.

"Yes." Father-in-law Wei went to the door and led people in.

Xiao Liulang bowed: "Weichen has seen Your Majesty." ”

The emperor picked up a notebook and said lightly: "Why did you come to me here today?" ”

Xiao Liulang arched his hand and said: "Weichen has something to play." ”

"What?" The Emperor asked.

Xiao Liulang said: "On the first day of Weichen's invigilation in the Gongyuan, someone put arsenic in Weichen's dinner. ”

The emperor frowned.

"Wechen originally left the incriminating evidence, but the weather was too hot and the evidence was broken." Having said that, Xiao Liulang still took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve.

Father-in-law Wei stepped forward to take a small porcelain bottle, uncorked the bottle, and a rancid smell of green onions came to his nose, and Father-in-law Wei hurriedly covered his nose.

If it's all like this, it's not good to defile the emperor's eyes.

The emperor asked, "How do you know it's arsenic?" ”

Xiao Liulang naturally wouldn't say that Gu Jiao had come to the Tribute Courtyard, and it was a capital crime to sneak into the Tribute Courtyard without permission, even if His Majesty would not cure Gu Jiao's crime, but why bother to consume Gu Jiao's favor in His Majesty's mind?

Xiao Liulang said: "Your Majesty forgot that Jiaojiao is a doctor? When she was in the countryside, there were rats at home, so Jiaojiao used arsenic to make some rat medicine, and Weichen also beat her. ”

This is a lie.

Dangerous goods, Gu Jiao will not let Xiao Liulang contaminate.

But Xiao Liulang has properly learned the officialdom of the old sacrificial wine, and his face has not changed.

Xiao Liulang continued: "That man pretended to be a guard to bring me food, I saw that he was a raw face, not a guard in the morning and noon, so I kept an eye in my heart, and then I found that the food made people move. ”

The emperor frowned suspiciously: "Who would go to the Tribute Court to attack you?" ”

The Gongyuan was heavily guarded, and it was impossible for an ordinary assassin to sneak in, let alone poison Xiao Liulang's food.

The emperor looked at Xiao Liulang fixedly: "I haven't heard of such news from the Gongyuan. ”

Xiao Liulang did not evade to meet his scrutiny and scrutiny: "Wechen is silent, Wechen doesn't know who the murderer is, and he doesn't dare to make a big deal about it, lest the murderer jump off the wall in a hurry." ”

When the emperor thought about it, he looked at Xiao Liulang and said, "You go back first, I will find out about this matter."

Xiao Liulang arched his hand: "Weichen retreated." ”

To be cautious, after Xiao Liulang left, the emperor called the imperial doctor and asked him to examine the green onions.

The chopped green onion was picked out of the egg drop soup and had long since deteriorated, but the imperial doctor still detected the arsenic on it.

"Back to Your Majesty, it's arsenic." The imperial doctor said.

The emperor's eyes cooled: "I know, you step down." ”

That night, the emperor called the chief of the guard of the Gongyuan and asked him if he could find anyone suspicious in the Gongyuan.

The chief guard said: "On the first day of the exam, it seems that someone sneaked in, knocked out a guard, and stripped the guard's clothes, but unfortunately his subordinates were incompetent and failed to catch him." ”

This is in line with Xiao Liulang's rhetoric.

The emperor ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

I never thought that the case of poisoning the Gongyuan had never been revealed, and the next day there was another incident on Xiao Liulang's side.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty is not good! Miss Gu and Xiao Xiushu are injured! Wei Gonggong rushed into the imperial study in a hurry.

The emperor snapped and put down the fold in his hand: "Where are the people?" ”

Father-in-law Wei said worriedly: "In the medical hall...... Miaotedo...... It was the slave who saw Gonggong Qin leaving the palace in a hurry, and asked what was wrong, and Gonggong Qin told the slave that Miss Gu and Xiao Xiu had an accident! ”

Xiao Liulang is the emperor's favored courtier, not to mention Gu Jiao, her weight in the emperor's mind is almost no different from his child.

The emperor didn't care about the criticism, so he changed into a regular suit and rushed to the hospital with Father-in-law Wei.

In the wing room of the small courtyard, Gu Jiao was lying unconscious on the bed, Xiao Liulang was guarding the bedside, his left hand was wrapped in gauze and hung around his neck, and the corners of his mouth and forehead were bruised.

This was the first time that the emperor had really seen the two of them injured in front of him, and he was stunned for a moment: "...... What happened? ”

"Your Majesty." Xiao Liulang stood up and wanted to bow to him, but he looked at his arm hanging with gauze with an embarrassed face, and bowed instead.

"No need to be polite." The emperor raised his hand, came to the bed, looked at Gu Jiao, who was unconscious with his eyes closed, and swept his eyes to a pile of blood-stained clothes in the basket on the side, his breathing tightened, "How is the little divine doctor?" ”

Xiao Liulang said in a low mood: "Doctor Song has seen it and said that she has lost too much blood......

The emperor's eyes froze, and his gaze fell on Xiao Liulang's arm: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiao Liulang lowered his eyes and said, "Weichen is fine, it's just that his arm is dislocated and has been connected." ”

Is it okay to dislocate your arm? How can a weak scholar withstand this pain?

The emperor's face turned ugly: "What the hell is going on?" Where were you hurt? ”

Xiao Liulang said with a sad face: "It's near Chang'an Avenue." On his way home from his duty at the Hanlin Academy, Wei Chen met an assassin, and Jiaojiao happened to come to pick me up from the Hanlin Academy, so he fought with the assassin, and Jiaojiao was defeated by him and was seriously injured. Later, Jiaojiao used a secret weapon to destroy the mask on the Assassin's face, and the Assassin fled. ”

The Emperor asked, "Do you see what the Assassin looks like?" ”

Xiao Liulang shook his head: "It was too chaotic at the time, Wei Chen didn't see his facial features clearly, he only remembered that he had a tattoo on his face......"

The emperor hurriedly said: "What tattoo?" ”

"It's like...... It's like ......" Xiao Liulang tried to recall it and said, "Forget it, it may be that Weichen is wrong." ”

The emperor frowned and said, "It's okay for you to say. ”

Xiao Liulang hesitated for a moment and said, "Like a turtle, it's also like a snake." ”

Turtle body and snake tail.

Xuanwu.

Dragon Shadow Guard's tattoo!

Long Yingwei is a dead soldier, but not every dead soldier is qualified to become a dragon shadow guard, the first emperor bought a large number of dead soldiers from Yan State, and when they bought it back, they were already strong enough, but the first emperor was not satisfied with their strength.

He also invited the masters to train the dead soldiers on this basis, and more than 100 dead soldiers finally only produced more than a dozen dragon shadow guards.

Some of the Dragon Shadow Guards died during the mission, and the Emperor left him with the youngest Dragon Shadow Guard.

The first time he saw them, he was startled by the Xuanwu tattoos on their faces, which were said to have been stabbed by the Emperor in order to distinguish the Dragon Shadow Guard from ordinary dead soldiers.

In the world, no one else has such a tattoo.

The emperor's mood became complicated for a moment: "Are you sure you read that right? ”

Xiao Liulang thought for a while: "Weichen...... Up in the air. Wei Chen just glanced at it in a hurry, or maybe he was wrong. ”

The emperor closed his eyes.

I guess I read it wrong.

Long Yingwei is now in the hands of Concubine Jing, how could she send someone to assassinate Xiao Liulang?

Although she is reluctant to get close to the people of the Empress Dowager Zhuang, strictly speaking, Xiao Liulang is not a person of the Empress Dowager Zhuang's lineage, Xiao Liulang is a courtier promoted by herself, a protégé of the Son of Heaven, and her own person!

Concubine Jing had no reason to deal with Xiao Liulang.

The emperor waited in the room for a while, and Doctor Song came over to change Gu Jiao's medicine halfway, but Gu Jiao never woke up.

The emperor watched the basin of blood and water coming out from the back of the screen, and he couldn't bear to look down.

On the way back to the palace, he didn't say a word.

"Your Majesty." Gonggong Wei wanted to remind him that the palace had arrived.

The emperor suddenly sighed: "Concubine Jing wouldn't do this, right?" ”

"Huh?" Father-in-law Wei was stunned.

What's the situation?

Does Your Majesty suspect that the person who assassinated Xiao Liulang was sent by the concubine?

Long Yingwei wears masks on weekdays, and Grandpa Wei doesn't know that they have tattoos on their faces.

"It can't be her." I don't know if the emperor said this to Gonggong Wei or to himself.

Where did Grandpa Wei dare to answer?

This is a matter for your mother and son, and I can't get involved.

He remembered that His Majesty and the Queen Mother seemed to be going farther and farther away back then, as if His Majesty was not so close to the Queen Mother overnight, and gradually His Majesty began to quarrel with the Queen Mother, and every trivial matter was counted on the Queen Mother's head.

Sometimes he is very sorry for the Queen Mother.

Feng Shui takes turns, and now it's Concubine Jing's turn?

Your Majesty, do you have a disease that has to kill your mother?

"Ahem!"

Grandpa Wei covered his mouth before he slammed his mouth.

The emperor got out of the carriage.

His thoughts were a little confused, and there were two voices in his head, one voice told him that Xiao Liulang would not lie to him, and the other voice told him that Concubine Jing would not betray him.

"Who?" Grandpa Wei suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" The emperor asked.

Gonggong Wei pointed to the end of the imperial garden and said, "The servant just saw a sneaky figure going over there. ”

Isn't that the direction of Gongfang?

Xu is in a hurry to compliment.

The emperor didn't go to see a subordinate to go out of Gong, but somehow, he was always a little uneasy in his heart, and he just took a step before he turned his steps and went in the direction of Gongfang.

In the end, the emperor didn't really walk in, but just watched quietly not far away.

Unexpectedly, he heard a familiar voice.

"What? You—You've missed again? It's a shame that you're still a dragon shadow guard, why can't you even kill a scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken! ”

This is...... The voice of the quiet concubine!

Concubine Jing said, and missed again.

Concubine Jing also said that the scholar who has no power to restrain the chicken......

I must have heard it wrong......

The voice continued.

"Does Your Majesty know that you are such a waste? Your Majesty gave you to me at the beginning, but I didn't let you eat and wait for death! It's just killing a scholar, and he's not a martial arts master! Is that all you Dragon Shadow Guard can do? ”

"I knew earlier, I might as well buy a few Jianghu killers! It's better than you! ”

It is impossible for the emperor to lie to himself that this voice is not from Concubine Jing.

He only felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and he rushed up to the top of his head!

------Off topic------

As soon as the beauty makes a move, she will know if there is one.

Happy Christmas Eve.
