Helian Hongyi turned back again by Gu Banqin's words, frowned and stared at her for a while, and then exhaled helplessly, as if talking to himself:

"I still don't seem to understand."

When Helian Hongyi led Gu Banqin back to Lihua Palace, Bi Geng was guarding the door, and after seeing Helian Hongyi, he stepped forward and shouted: "Your Majesty." ”

Helian Hongyi nodded, and patted Bi Geng's shoulder hard, the feelings between the brothers were self-evident, and Bi Geng returned the salute with a fist.

Helian Hongyi turned around and said to Gu Banqin: "You go back to rest, I can't sleep anyway, go to the Taihe Hall to see the excerpts." ”

Gu Banqin didn't dare to keep him, so he hurriedly sent him off, and after Helian Hongyi turned around and walked two steps, he was stopped by Gu Banqin again.

Helian Hongyi turned around, Gu Banqin untied the big hat on his shoulder, trotted to Helian Hongyi, put the big dan on Helian Hongyi's shoulder on tiptoe, tied the knot for him, and then took two steps back, and made a beautiful blessing to Helian Hongyi, which was regarded as a send-off.

Helian Hongyi looked at her beautiful eyebrows, long eyelashes, straight nose, ruddy and plump lips, every place grew just right, and his heart moved again, raised his hand and waved at her, and said softly: "Go in." ”

After saying that, he turned and left.

Gu Banqin stood at the door, watching Helian Hongyi and Bi Geng leave, Liu Wu walked out of the door, and also put a thin felt on Gu Banqin's shoulders, hugged Gu Banqin and said: "Niangniang, go in quickly, it's too cold outside." ”

Gu Banqin stretched out her hand and rubbed it, put it to her lips and sighed softly, and smiled at Liu Wu: "In the end, I still woke you up." ”

Liu Wu hugged Gu Banqin inside: "What did Niangniang say, but when the emperor and Niangniang went out, there was really no sound at all, the slaves and maids were asleep, if Jia Jinlu hadn't been on duty at night to withdraw the fire and found it and told us, Qingyun and I are still in the dark." ”

As they spoke, the two of them entered the hall, the hall burned the earth dragon, as soon as they entered the door, it was warm, and the catkins waited for Gu Banqin to change his clothes, and Gu Banqin said simply: "The emperor and I slept too much during the day, and we were hungry at night, so we went to the imperial dining room to cook some noodles to eat." ”

“……”

Bi Geng followed Helian Hongyi to the Taihe Palace, and saw that Helian Hongyi's hand had been playing with the knot hanging down, Bi Geng chuckled, Helian Hongyi looked back at him: "What are you laughing at?" ”

Helian Hongyi and Bi Geng are good brothers from birth to death, and after Helian Hongyi went to the barracks, Bi Geng was sent to be his escort.

In the past few years, the trust between the two can be imagined, and when there is no one in private, Bi Geng is still very casual to Helian Hongyi, and said with a smile:

The minister smiled that this time it was thanks to Concubine Xian. If it weren't for her, the emperor would suddenly fall ill, and the ministers wouldn't know what to do. ”

Helian Hongyi didn't expect Bi Geng to praise Gu Banqin, and hooked his lips and smiled: "Don't praise her." ”

Bi Geng shook his head and insisted: "No, the minister really wants to praise Concubine Niangniang, it can be seen that Niangniang's heart for the emperor is really sincere." ”

"After the former Tianchen found that the emperor was gone, he searched in the city, but he searched almost all the streets in the city, and found no trace of the emperor.

"But what I didn't expect was that Concubine Xian Niangniang guessed that the emperor was in the mountain behind Jinbao Temple, and proposed to go with us to find it.

"We arrived at the mountain, and the emperor sat alone on a crooked neck tree on a cliff, not to mention Niangniang, even people like us who practice martial arts looked at the scene, and couldn't help but weaken their legs, below is the abyss, who can not be afraid."

"But although Niangniang was afraid, she still moved to sit next to the emperor, for fear that we would stimulate you, she went alone, I don't know what to say to the emperor, you came up with her."

Helian Hongyi didn't remember these things, and he hesitated: "Did I do these things?" ”

He and Gu Banqin have been together for so long, Gu Banqin just told him some things in the palace, and didn't say a word about the events on the day he became ill.

However, Bi Geng's words were not finished:

"After returning to the palace, Niangniang knew that the emperor was sick and prone to accidents, so she sent all the people in the courtyard out, and after about half an hour, the emperor really fell ill again, and vomited in the corridor to come out, and Niangniang has been taking care of the emperor."

"She just hugged you, sitting on the ground of the cloister, maybe two hours, motionless, the minister looked at the mother's cautious strength to the emperor, and knew at that time that the mother must have a deep love for the emperor."

Bi Geng's words made Helian Hongyi fall into deep thought, and there seemed to be a little influence in his mind, on the corridor at night, several lanterns were hung high, the night wind blew, the lights flickered, and two figures snuggled to the ground......

Although there was no tangible memory, Helian Hongyi seemed to be able to feel Gu Banqin's love and warmth at that time, looked down at the knotted pendant in his hand, and remembered her disappointed appearance when she saluted him outside Lihua Palace before, the corners of Helian Hongyi's mouth couldn't help but curl into an extremely warm smile.

"Life is lonely, and the emperor is really happy to be able to find someone who treats him wholeheartedly."

Bi Geng summed up his words.

Helian Hongyi didn't respond to him, but the increasingly satisfied smile on his face betrayed his mood at the moment.

The two went to the Taihe Palace, and the eunuch on duty saw Helian Hongyi hurriedly saluting, lighting the lamp, and then went out to inform Wang Shun's father-in-law about this.

Bi Geng told Wang Shun's father-in-law Helian Hongyi about the matter in Lihua Palace during the day, and Wang Shun's father-in-law went to recuperate with peace of mind, and now he listened to the report of the little eunuch, and he couldn't care about the injuries on his body, so he crawled to the Taihe Palace, and knelt down when he saw Helian Hongyi.

"Your Majesty, you can count yourself back."

Helian Hongyi untied the big gun, handed it to Bi Geng, glanced at Wang Shun's father-in-law with a blue nose and swollen face, pointed and asked, "Why did it become like this?" ”

Wang Shun's father-in-law told Helian Hongyi about the fact that King Yu and King Su came to break into the Taihe Hall yesterday morning.

At the beginning, Bi Geng and Gu Banqin had not yet come, and when Wang Shun's father-in-law said it, he also added a few strokes of oil and vinegar by the way, saying that he was in tears, as if he was a hero, and Helian Hongyi and Bi Geng said that there were black lines on their heads.

However, although Wang Shun's father-in-law said exaggerated, there was one thing he didn't lie, that is, he was indeed the first to stand up and defend the Taihe Palace, and he could wait for Bi Geng and Gu Banqin to defend the second line.

If Wang Shun's father-in-law was a little timid, maybe he was frightened by King Yu, so he retreated to the side, King Yu entered the Taihe Palace, recruited the Imperial Forest Army and others into the palace, and arranged to go to the city to search door to door.

Because there was Wang Shun's father-in-law guarding first, Helian Hongyi was not too disgusted by Wang Shun's slightly exaggerated words, but nodded seriously to commend Wang Shun's father-in-law, and rewarded him with two years' salary, so that he could go back to rest.

After Wang Shun's father-in-law retired, Bi Geng asked Helian Hongyi.

"King Yu is afraid to come prepared this time, the emperor also encountered something in King Yu's mansion the day before yesterday, and after that, King Yu must have sent someone to monitor us, the minister sneaked into the palace at night, and the secret guards are still outside the palace, so King Yu didn't know that the emperor was back, and he wanted to take advantage of this matter early the next morning."

Helian Hongyi had already told Gu Banqin about this matter before, nodded to Bi Geng, and sat behind the dragon case.

"I know how to do this. You go to run now, please Liu Youcheng into the palace, the things of the past two days, more or less will be passed into the court, there will be some unnecessary trouble, it is necessary to prophet Liu Youcheng. ”

Bi Geng thought about it and felt very agreeable.

"Yes, this matter does have to be predicted to Liu Youcheng, and there is also, according to the report of the spies, General Lin Ying has already set off from Xinye and entered the South Setting, about tomorrow when the emperor has a birthday banquet, he can arrive, General Lin's expectations for the emperor, the emperor should know, in order to prevent General Lin from making non-divisive demands on the birthday banquet, the emperor must also think of countermeasures."

Bi Geng mentioned Lin Ying, Helian Hongyi paused as he was turning over the movements, and after thinking for a while, he asked Bi Geng:

"Lin Ying walked all the way from the Western Wilderness to those places, who did you know?"

Bi Geng is the commander of the imperial guards, and he is also responsible for the affairs of the secret guards, and he has his own intelligence network to learn about the every move of these officials in the DPRK and China, and after Helian Hongyi asked, Bi Geng immediately answered:

"Yes, the general went to meet with a few generals from the Western Wilderness, but he didn't say anything, it looked like a simple pass, to see the posture of his old friend, and then went around Xinye from Dadu, Xinye is Zhang Heng's territory."

"Zhang Heng also fought with the first emperor at the beginning, but the country was initially decided, although he was sealed a stable waiting, but he was dissatisfied with only a vacant position, and was demoted to Xinye, the general went to Xinye to see him this time, I don't know what the intention is."

"There's no news from Xinye yet. The general was delayed from Xinye for about two or three days, and after coming out, he went straight to Jiankang, non-stop, seemingly wanting to arrive on the emperor's birthday. ”

After listening to Bi Geng's report, Helian Hongyi nodded, indicating that he knew, Bi Geng saw that Helian Hongyi didn't give a definite answer, so he was still a little worried, and asked Helian Hongyi:

"Your Majesty, if the general mentions the matter between you and Miss Lin, you ...... Will you say yes? ”

Helian Hongyi had already reviewed a book of folds while Bi Geng was talking, and after putting it neatly in the upper right corner, he raised his eyes and looked at Bi Geng, and did not hide it from him:

"Lin Ying's wolf ambition, whether I marry Lin Yuxiu or not, he will not be willing to surrender to me, although the Lin family belongs to the Helian family, but in recent years, he has already had the heart to become bigger."

"After the Helian family's army was distributed all over the country, the Western Wilderness was dominated by his Lin family, and now there were 80,000 elite soldiers in his hands, and after the power became bigger, his ambitions were also great, and what the Lin family wanted was more than just a queen's position. Do you understand what I say? ”
