Chapter 32. The draft is imminent
There was dead silence in the cell.
Almond stayed behind Sheng Jingyu, and he didn't even dare to come out.
It's really that the coercion on His Majesty's body is too compelling, and it is estimated that the assassin facing him is even more like a man.
The man's face was full of struggle, hesitation.
Sheng Jingyu spoke up again, "I heard that you have been going to Fenglai Pavilion a lot recently, even if you don't say it, I will find out." It's justβwhen I find out, I won't need you, and I won't need your sister. β
Hearing the word 'sister', the man's eyes turned red, and he finally let out his breath.
"It's the owner of Fenglai Pavilion."
Fenglai Pavilion? The biggest fireworks place in Beijing?
Even if Almond is a small common man, he has heard of its big name.
The girls inside are all as beautiful as fairies, and the sound of the Oiran is even more beautiful in the world, and they only talk about poetry and painting with the royal power and wealth.
As for the owner of Fenglai Pavilion, he is very mysterious, no one has ever seen him, and even the girls in the pavilion don't know anything.
Almond was curious about who the owner of this Fenglai Pavilion was, so he heard Sheng Jingyu also ask.
"Who is it?"
Almond listened with bated breath, but heard a name she had never heard before.
"Wan Yan Sibo."
Sheng Jingyu frowned, and said clearly: "Prince Wuhan." β
The Japanese and Han dynasties were neighbors of the Shengan Dynasty, and there were constant frictions between the two countries, and wars often broke out over territorial issues.
But since Sheng Jingyu's reign, he has developed rapidly and is invincible, which also makes the Japanese royal family hate him so much.
If it is the prince of Wuhan, then these two assassinations are reasonable.
Next, the first thing he had to do was to clean up the interior and get rid of the internal response of the Japanese Han in the Sheng'an Dynasty.
"Who is the one who answered you?"
It is also strange to say that this person did not leave the slightest trace when he entered the palace, Fu Jungu sent someone to investigate, but he found nothing.
The man smiled, "Your Majesty, I have already told you who my master is, that's another question. β
After saying that, he closed his eyes and looked like he would not speak again.
Sheng Jingyu said in a deep voice: "In that case, I will give you a good time." As for your sister, I won't touch her. β
The man hooked the corners of his mouth, but smiled silently.
"Let's go." Sheng Jingyu Road.
This sentence was addressed to Almond, who nodded and followed him out of the prison.
For some reason, she felt a little melancholy.
This assassin was not afraid of death, but he was afraid that his sister was in danger, and he was also a man of great affection.
Unfortunately, it was a capital offense to commit assassination, and he would surely die.
Sheng Jingyu didn't let her follow in the following days, and Almond had to stay alone in the study to practice reading and read.
Now she knows most of the words and can write, but her writing is not very good-looking, and she still needs more practice.
There are all kinds of famous calligraphy and paintings in the imperial study, and almonds stay in it every day, and they are not boring, and they are interesting to watch.
Sheng Jingyu seems to be very busy these days, but the mood seems to be quite good, and it seems that the assassin matter has been dealt with.
The palace finally returned to its former calm, and the palace people were no longer frightened, and even chatted about gossip in a novel way.
Almonds, who have been immersed in the study all day long, rarely want to come out for a walk.
After wandering around the Jing'an Palace, I gained a lot of exciting information.
The first thing is the news of the collapse of Fenglai Pavilion.
Most of the girls in the cabinet have lost their livelihood and are looking for their next home. There are those who do their old jobs, and there are those who marry old men and are good aunts.
They set off a bloody storm in the capital for a while, and the backyards of various houses caught fire one after another, causing a lot of trouble.
The second thing is even more blockbuster news.
The Oiran of Fenglai Pavilion, proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, is like the sound of everyone's beautiful piano, and after losing the owner, he actually participated in the palace draft!
Originally, the woman in the dust was not qualified to participate, but she was still an innocent woman, and more importantly, after the emperor heard about it, he actually agreed!
The emperor spoke, even if the courtiers discussed, nothing could be changed.
This third thing is naturally the draft.
The show girls have been solicited for a month, and after preliminary screening, they have entered the review stage.
During the review stage, those who were brushed down were sent home directly.
Those who are promoted, the emperor personally selects, and those who are selected will stay in the harem and wait for the attendants.
Those who were not chosen were given to ministers and the royal family, or to be used as high court ladies.
And the draft, imminent, is just over the next two days.
"No wonder Your Majesty has been so busy these days that he can't even see a figure, it turns out that he is busy with beauty pageants. But...... The owner of Fenglai Pavilion is the prince of Uhan, this should be done by His Majesty, right? I don't dare to come to the prince of Uhan anymore."
Almond muttered, didn't go back to the study, only brought some shortbread and went to Nansan to play with Song Ran.
Song Ran happened to be free today, and the two of them talked for a long time while eating together.
Most of the time, it was Almond who was talking, and Song Ran listened quietly.
There are too many things that have happened in these days, and she participated in the two assassinations against the emperor, but fortunately, they were all in danger.
Song Ran frowned again and again when he heard this, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I went to look for you in those days, and I didn't even see your figure, and after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the guards were much stricter, and no one else was allowed to approach. β
"I was sick at the time, and I was in the house all the time, and I never went out."
"It's so dangerous, but I'm glad you're okay......"
Song Ran looked distressed, his expression was heavy, and he suddenly remembered something, and took out a jade pendant from his arms.
"This is the peace jade that Mama asked for when she accompanied the concubine to the temple a few days ago, you can take it."
Almond hurriedly refused, "This is what Mama asked for you, how can I ask for it!" β
"I already have it, I'll help you put it on, I hope you are safe and sound by Your Majesty's side, I will rest assured."
As he spoke, Song Ran pulled open his collar and exposed his neck, and there was indeed a jade pendant hanging there.
Almond believed it, and his slightly rough hand stroked her neck.
When the cold fingers touched her warm skin, she subconsciously shrunk her neck.
Song Ran looked at the neck of his hand, slender and fragile, as if it would shatter at the slightest touch.
He carefully put on the almond, but his hand was reluctant to leave the white and delicate skin for a long time.
"Are you alright?"
It was a little strange that his neck was pinched, and Almond couldn't help but ask.
Song Ran reluctantly let go of his hand and replied, "Okay." β
"Then I'll go back."
"You must pay attention to safety in the future, I will be worried."
Looking at Song Ran's heavy face, Almond smiled: "I know, you also thank Mama for me, I'm leaving!" β
Almond beckoned freely, and went straight back to Jing'an Palace, leaving Song Ran standing in place with a look of looking at it.
The days are short in autumn and it gets dark early, when it's already dark.
After eating and drinking, Almond waited early in front of the dormitory.
With nothing to do, she reached into the collar and touched the piece of jade that Song Ran gave her, only to feel heavy, very warm and smooth, and seemed to exude a warmth.
Wearing it, it feels like my body is much warmer.
The jade begged for in this temple seems to be unusual, it should be very valuable, right?
Almond was wandering when she was poked with a finger on her forehead.
She didn't pay attention, and fell straight back.
