Kangxi met Ziyun for the first time in Liuheju, and he was already fascinated. Huang Jing did what he wanted, and the next day he changed the place of Ziyun. Unfortunately, it happened that the head of the Heart Cultivation Hall was replaced by Xiao Maozi. This errand envoy was repeatedly allowed to do it by himself because of Wu Yingxiong's confession, and of course even Xiao Maozi couldn't let him know. This little hairy man is a person who drills into the sky when he sees it, how can he hide it? In the past few days, Kangxi has also been busy with the affairs of the court, meeting with the six departments and Jiuqing and relevant ministers, explaining to them the withdrawal of the feudal domain, and busy dispatching the Qin mission - Shangshu Liang Qingbiao to Guangdong, and Chen Yibing, the left waiter, to Fujian; Yunnan sent two: the squire Zheerken and the scholar Fu Dali, who were afraid that it would be difficult to be thorough, and ordered the party affairs ceremony of Langzhong of the military department and the party affairs of the household department to accompany him to ensure that Wu Sangui's family arrived in Beijing safely...... This is all carefully considered by Kangxi for several years, and it is arranged very properly, but he is also so busy with tea and dinner that he can't even think about this romantic affair. Huang Jing wanted to mention it several times, but he couldn't find a crack.

It's easy to see that Kangxi is almost busy, and on this day, Xiao Maozi went back to celebrate his mother's birthday, and there was no one else in the palace, so Huang Jing went back to the room to prepare plainclothes for Kangxi, poured a cup of tea and served it, and said to Kangxi with a quiet smile: "Long live Lord, the envoy you confessed to last time, the slave has already done it." ”

"What's the matter?" Kangxi is reading the report: Khalkha Mongolia's Tushetu, Zasak, and Chechen three internal strife, Tushetu Khan attacked Zasak for no reason, snatched Zasak Khan's beloved wife, and the Khan's daughter also disappeared in the chaos, Zasak Khan contacted Chechen Khan to raise troops for revenge, and was killed by Tushetu Khan and defeated. Because these three tribes have always been attached to the imperial court, the two khans jointly asked the imperial court to send heavenly soldiers to help restore their homeland, and asked them to find the princesses, resettle the homeless herdsmen, etc. Kangxi had ordered the Shaanxi Provincial Government Secretary to properly settle the herdsmen who had flowed into the Guannai, but other requests made it difficult for him to cope, and it was reported that Geldan of the Junggar Department was gathering his people to go east to administer justice for the three tribes, and the situation was dizzyingly complicated. While reading, he pondered when he was helpless, and when he heard Huang Jing say, "The messenger has been done", Kangxi was a little confused, so he asked: "When will the messenger be assigned?" ”

Huang Jing smiled and said, "When I came back from Liuheju that day, didn't the emperor order his servants to arrange a secluded place for Ziyun at night?" ”

"Oh! Where is it? Kangxi's eyes lit up, folded the music, and asked. After thinking about it, he said, "I can't be too far from the palace, and I have to see the minister after dinner." Huang Jing hurriedly said: "Not far, in the area of Lao Qihuamen." When Kangxi heard this, he got up and said, "Okay, I have a headache when I think about things, go out for a walk." Thinking of the unfortunate donkey, he added, "You don't need to call the guards, my skills are no worse than theirs!" ”

The two of them went out, but saw Xiao Maozi rushing back. Seeing that Kangxi and Huang Jing were about to go out, he greeted him with a smile and saluted, and asked, "Where is the master, I can give the slave a letter and find a place." Kangxi blushed and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Go out and take a walk." Xiao Maozi's sleek eyes were rolling, and he said to Huang Jing: "You are alone with the emperor?" ”

"That's what I mean." Kangxi hurriedly said, "I want to be casual, don't bring guards." ”

Xiao Maozi was slightly stunned, then turned around and smiled: "Long live to be distracted?" That's a good idea! As the saying goes, 'you must have a companion to watch a play, and you must have a helper when you sing a play', and a slave is not a guard, so is it okay to go and play? ”

"You've been very busy for a while these days," Kangxi looked embarrassed, rolled his eyes and thought about it, and said with a smile, "It's your mother's birthday again, so you don't have to follow." The word 'Fu' I gave your mother is in it, and the ink has dried, so why don't you take it back quickly? ”

Xiao Maozi rushed back for this matter, and when he heard that Kangxi was tightly blocked, he knew that there was no hope, so he laughed and replied: "This is the grace of the Long Live Lord, and now I will be partial to Lao Huang." As he spoke, he went back to the hall, rolled up the rice paper in two of the three, stepped out in a few steps, and saw that Kangxi and they were walking north, so he jumped a few times, slipped into the Yuehua Gate, and went to the Qianqing Gate to find Wei Dongting, and so on.

Wei Dongting bit his lip and thought about it, and said to Mu Zixu and the donkey, "You two follow." ”

"What should I do if I want to see it and ask, 'Why do you keep following me?'" Mu Zixu asked. The donkey smiled and said, "Don't follow! I'm allowed to go to the mother-in-law in Liuheju. Let's change our clothes and wait there. Wei Dongting asked in surprise, "How do you know these things?" ”

The donkey grinned, and then looked at Mu Zixu. Mu Zixu told me about the day he went to Liuheju and met Ziyun.

"This kind of person is the most powerful, and the soft knife kills without seeing blood!" Wei Dongting panicked, "Donkey, you just have to go and stir up the situation, if something happens, my brother will take it around!" ”

"Soft knives!" Xiao Maozi exclaimed, he understood everything, and he trembled with nervousness - he knew more of the inside story, and he was even more frightened than Wei Dongting. Wei Dongting looked at his face and smiled: "Don't be scared like this!" ”

"I can't grit my teeth and grind my ass here!" Xiao Maozi said hurriedly, "Not only do you have to go to Liuheju, but someone has to follow the emperor, and you have to hurry up and tell the master Niangniang!" ”

That's a bit excessive. What's the benefit of reporting to the queen for such a thing? Wei Dongting hesitated and was speechless.

"My Lord Wei, Master Wei, you should hurry up!" Xiao Maozi shouted anxiously, "I don't have time to talk about it - it's more dangerous than breaking into the grandfather's mansion!" He slapped his ass and ran away. Here, Wei Dongting hurriedly sent troops to transfer generals, and someone informed Xiong Cilu, Suo Etu and Mingzhu to enter the court quickly.

Xiao Maozi rushed to the gate of Zhongcui Palace out of breath, but hesitated: no matter how big the queen is, she can't be as big as the emperor. If you sue yourself like this, the two of them will be awkward in the future, and you will not be the one who suffers? Then he turned around and drilled out of Yongxiang in one go, and went out of the Long Sect to Cining Palace to find Lafayette. This is a proud one: the Queen Mother came forward and avoided all evils! Unexpectedly, the Empress Dowager was not in the palace, and the personal palace maid Xiaoxiu was a friend of Mo Ju and told him: "Lafayette went to the palace and talked to Master Huizhen!" Xiao Maozi touched his head and smiled: "I'm so dizzy, I forgot that today is Lent!" "Turned around and ran again, entered the Longzong Gate and crossed the heavenly street, and turned northeast from the Qianqing Gate, and then found the Empress Dowager in the palace.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Malagu saw that Xiao Maozi was running all over stinky sweat, and the color was not color, so she said with a smile: "Anyway, now he is also the head of the first palace, and he runs away from the horse, which makes people look as if someone has made the opposite!" ”

"It's pretty much the same!" Xiao Maozi panted, brought out a plate of things in front and back, and said at the end: "The slave thinks about this, even if it is said to the master Niangniang, he still has to hurry up and tell Lafayette, and he didn't even care about Niangniang's side, so he came straight to Lafayette!" ”

The more the Empress Dowager listened, the more shocked she became, she slapped the table up, and was about to have a seizure, when she suddenly felt that it was not the time, nor the object, she sat down again, spread out the cards on the table, and closed them again, and said after a while: "The emperor has never had this problem, someone must have seduced him." Little Maozi, remember to find out! ”

"Wow!"

"Tell the donkey that I tell him to find the goblin and kill him immediately!"

"Wow!"

"Pass on my decree," the Empress Dowager said calmly, "Tuhai, Zu Yonglie, Jiha, and Zhou Hepei, who are the commanders of the Yamen and the Nine Gate Admirals Yamen, are here, and they are on strict guard in the city!" ”

"Wow!"

"There you go!"

The old Qihua Gate has been renamed "Chaoyang Gate" in the Ming Dynasty, and people are used to calling it, and they are also called the old name. Kangxi's car went out of Chaoyang Gate, turned slightly south, and stopped at a small alley north of Guangqu Gate.

"Here we are." Huang Jing respectfully lifted the curtain of the car, got out of the car with Kangxi, walked east along the alley, and stopped in front of a doorway. Huang Jing stepped forward and knocked lightly, shouting, "Caiming, Gongzi Ye looks at Miss Ziyun is here!" The door opened, and a girl came out, blessed the two, and led them down the road full of hibiscus roses to the back hall. Ziyun had already stood at the head of the door and waited, and when she saw Kangxi coming in, she squatted lightly, and said in a manly voice: "The noble jade toe is coming, no wonder the lights and flowers burst last night, and the magpie is noisy this morning......" said but didn't get up.

When Kangxi looked at her, she was dressed in a Han palace dress, a moon-white embroidered shirt, and a water-red pleated skirt, which looked particularly delicate against the backdrop of the green of the courtyard. There is no fat powder on the face, lightly wiped evenly, eyebrows Dai Chunshan, the cheeks are more peachy like halo, greasy like fat, like smoke cage peony, dew rose. Seeing that the ivory-like slender jade hand was exposed on the sleeve, Kangxi took a step forward and gently helped him up, and laughed quietly: "Don't dare to be, even if you are the son of heaven, rich all over the world, you have to pay tribute to your heart under the fairy pomegranate skirt!" As he spoke, he squeezed Ziyun's soft little hand.

"You're bad!" Ziyun snatched his hand out, lightly hit Kangxi and floated in. Kangxi's soul was almost knocked out by her! When he looked back at Huang Jing, he didn't know where to hide, so he hurriedly hurried in.

"There are no chickens, ducks, fish and meat here, delicacies from the mountains and seas," Ziyun smiled and let Kangxi sit down, "There are only these melons and fruits!" ”

When Kangxi looked at it, there were really no dishes on the table, only a few Jingde porcelain plates as white as jade, which contained kumquats, apples, loquats, lychees, longans, tender lotus roots, chicken head rice, and a plate of purple grapes with fruit frost, which were very colorful and bright, and couldn't help laughing: "It's really like you, beautiful and delicious." How can people bear to eat such a beautiful fruit? ”

"If you can't bear to eat, just watch and play! Lao Huang said that you are a nobleman, and you have seen a lot of good, so I will change your taste! Ziyun is delicate and soft, her words are like a warbler, and her mouth is like sandalwood, which makes Kangxi's heart hot and hot, and he said for a long time: "Come, just to change the taste!" Listen to any good songs. Ziyun only bowed his head and smiled when he heard this, took out a bronze gong to the wall, plucked it twice, and the tune was already full of charm, and said, "What kind of song to sing?" Yesterday, I heard someone say a song of seven rules, so I will sing it to you, don't laugh! Then he bowed his head and sang:

Zhu Lou grew at the beginning of the twelfth night, and the autumn hatred should know the evening makeup.

Someone in Wuxia passed Chu Pei, and Jia Qiang asked Han Xiang without a dream.

The old parrot of the brocade string, the new orchid reminiscence.

The moon falls and the corridor is infinite, and it may flow to the West Chamber?

Kangxi closed his eyes and nodded and listened quietly, gently clasped his hands to the beat, and when Ziyun finished singing, he said with a smile: "Although this poem is elegantly written, if you think about it carefully, there is an article - who is in the West Chamber?" Is it you or me? ”

Ziyun pursed his lips and smiled, got up to get the wine and poured a glass for Kangxi, and he also accompanied a small half cup, and suddenly his face was red. Then he played and sang:

The happy face is good, the sad face is good, and the angry face between the ground is better. A little coquettish, lining out the peach blossom red small. Have the heart to be well-behaved. Knowing that the slave was in the West Chamber, Biyi couldn't ask, so he had no choice but to relieve his frustration - ask the slave again, and push Tan Lang down!

Kangxi couldn't help laughing when he heard it: "It turns out that you are waiting for me in the West Chamber!" I really went in the middle of the night, and you were willing to push me down? ”

Ziyun released his means at this time, covered his face with hot wine, gently unbuttoned the breasts, a touch of crisp chest snow white, his sleeves were exposed to his wrists, and a burst of rapid strings provoked and smeared, as if he was a little overwhelmed by wine, he glanced at Kangxi and smiled: "The slave is drunk, just sing another song!" But his hand slowed down, and only gently wiped it on the strings, and the tone immediately became obscene and gentle:

Late days are as drunk as a person, and he leans on the copper sheng and sleeps. At first glance, the lazy buckle collar is loose, revealing the crispy breast. The small cluster of twin peaks is greasy and bright, and the jade hand caresses the play at home, peeking out of the window that there is no one, and he wants to restrain and stop: too simple.

Kangxi is already half of the crisp at this time, where can he endure it? Standing up, he circled twice and walked forward quickly...... Ziyun got up in a flash, buttoned his collar while buttoning his coat, blushed and said with a smile: "I saw that you were uneasy and kind, and the blue sky was bright, so I wanted to ......" Kangxi saw that she was so coquettish, stepped forward and grabbed her hands, and said, "...... What the? Don't button it......" The other hand reached for her little coat......

Ziyun flashed flexibly, turned to the door of the inner room early, waved his hand and smiled: "You, what a hurry, come-let!" ”

At this moment, the door of the main hall opened in an uproar, and Huangfu Baozhu stepped forward and hurriedly entered with his sword, dragging the stunned Kangxi without saying a word, and his feet did not touch the ground. Ziyun was overjoyed at first, let go of his hand, and just said with a smile: "You guys came too early-it's better to wait for a while......" After seeing Baozhu actually pulling Kangxi out, he couldn't help but be stunned, and the smile on his face immediately froze as if he didn't move.

Baozhu almost rushed out of the quiet alley with Kangxi, Kangxi grabbed his hand several times, but it was like being clamped by pliers, so he had no choice but to follow him. It wasn't until outside the Guangqu Gate that he saw the donkey and Tuhai coming out from a distance, and Baozhu let go and wiped his sweat and said: "It's so dangerous!" ”

Kangxi looked at the clear sky, the dazzling road, although it was noon, the road was so hot that there were few pedestrians, a few old people under the big willow tree next to the Guangqu Gate were chatting leisurely, everything was too peaceful, and thought: What is the "good risk" of this? It took a while to come back to his senses, and he turned his face and asked Baozhu: "What do you mean by this, do you want to be happy to see my good looks?" ”

"Hooray!" Bao Zhu bowed down and replied, "Fortunately, the minister went one step earlier, that woman is poisonous!" ”

Kangxi shuddered when he said this, and on a hot day, he had goosebumps on his body, and his face was blue and red, and he stood still. Huangfu Baozhu saw that Kangxi seemed to believe it or not, so he smiled and said: "Bury the corpse in the snow, and after a long time, the saint will understand that the slaves must go back to Ziyun to dispose of them first, otherwise the slaves will not be able to return to Wu Yingxiong." As he spoke, he made a gesture to Kangxi, and returned to the head of Ziyun Gate the same way.

Huang Jingzao, who was guarding the door, saw Baozhu coming back, turned around and shouted: "Ready!" Then he came out and said to Baozhu with a smile: "General, Miss Ziyun is waiting inside, please!" ”

"Don't play this smiling tiger with me!" Baozhu roared violently, pulled out his sword and stabbed Huang Jing in the chest...... Then gently withdrawn, Huang Jing screamed in a muffled voice, curled up and died in the doorway. Bao Zhu kicked the corpse away, strode straight to the back door, only to hear the crossbowmen lying in the flower wall on the left and right shouting "arrows", and the arrows rained down like locusts. Huangfu Baozhu sneered, his body rose upright, and he danced a sword like a silver ball to protect his body, and approached the door of the hall, and the rows of flying arrows were broken and broken, and they fell to the ground one after another, where could he shoot him! Seeing that he was so good, the thirty archers did not dare to slack off, and only took turns shooting arrows, but it was difficult for the pillars to free up their hands to attack.

"Stop!" Ziyun opened the hall door with a "bang". She had changed into snow-white makeup all over her body, stood at the door with a cold-light wrist-untying dagger in her hand, and beckoned to the pillar and smiled: "Aren't you here to take my head?" Come on, come on! ”

Bao Zhu hesitated for a moment, and entered the main hall with the bloody sword, but somehow, his hands trembled a little.

"You sit." Ziyun's voice trembled violently, "Don't be afraid of my knife, I can't even kill chickens, but I don't want your knife to dirty my body, this knife is for my own use." Baozhu looked at Ziyun in surprise, but she was able to speak a proficient Shandong accent, sat on the chair, and said, "I'd rather be sorry for the prince than sorry for the world." The eldest husband came and went, and understood that I was already the emperor's person. It's better for you to decide on your own. Ziyun ignored Baozhu's words, poured wine into his cup, and said, "This is a cup of poisonous wine. As he spoke, he stretched his neck and drank it, and said with a smile: "People who are dying don't speak, there are a few words that must be explained to you before they die, are you willing to listen?" ”

Baozhu looked at Ziyun in surprise, nodded and said nothing.

"Do you know where my mother died and how she died?" Ziyun laughed miserably, "Do you know what she said to her sister when she died? ”

"Huh?!" Even if the sky fell at this time, and the sun, moon and stars all crashed and became a chaotic world, it could not make Baozhu panic and frightened. He stood up a little bewildered, shook his tall body, leaned back against the table and said in a trembling voice, "You...... What nonsense are you talking about? I'll kill you! ”

"Melon!" Ziyun trembled and called out Baozhu's nickname, pointed to his chest and said, "Come here, don't tremble, use my knife, I'm really afraid that I won't be able to kill myself......"

The sword in Baozhu's hand fell into the dust with a "dang".

"The prince is fake, and the third prince is also fake," Ziyun burst into tears in his eyes, "One is from the Qing family, and the other is from his own family—but my Emperor Fu Yu'er is real, but they are all Han!" She stared at the Huangfu Baozhu tightly, and shouted hoarsely: "Brother, my own brother who has been separated for more than 20 years, I ask you, why did you help these beastly Manchurians to kill us and harm your sister......" At this point, she couldn't stop crying.

"It's ...... It's true? Baozhu's face was as pale as dirt, and he asked silently.

"After my father was killed by Qing soldiers in Shandong Hengwang's Mansion, you didn't know where to go in the rebellion." Ziyun gasped and coughed out a mouthful of blood, obviously the medicinal properties had attacked. "My mother and I fled to Suzhou, and then to Yangzhou. …… After the martyrdom of Lord Shi, Yangzhou slaughtered the city, more than 300,000! The blood in the street was pouring down, and all the signs of the shop were floating......" Her voice grew weaker and weaker, and she shook her hand and took out a purse, and continued, "My mother was stabbed in the chest, and when she was dying, she gave it to me and said, 'Give this to the melon...... Make a thought...... 'and stretch out your legs to ......."

"Mother!" Baozhu screamed miserably, covered his face with his hands, and tears gushed out from his fingers, "Sister, we meet every day in Wuhua Mountain, and we go to Beijing and travel on the same boat, why don't you say it, why don't you say it earlier!" ”

"Sister...... For revenge, ...... early I lost my body, I didn't want to ruin my brother's reputation, and as long as I could take revenge, I was full of ...... ......She suddenly stood up from her chair and staggered to the table. Huangfu Baozhu rushed forward, shook his sister's soft body, and shouted: "Sister Yu, wake up, antidote - is there an antidote?" ”

Huangfu Yu'er shook her head weakly, picked up the dagger and stabbed it into her chest, because she trembled too much, her wrist was bleeding, and she never succeeded, and said with the last strength: "If you want to be my brother...... Just make up for it...... With me—"

Huangfu Baozhu struggled to pick up the dagger, and wandered around the house twice like sleepwalking, and suddenly burst into a burst of wild laughter: "Hahahaha!" Oh my God, you're really good at arrangers! With red eyes, he stabbed Ziyun's heart, which had already fainted, pulled it out and looked at it, and slammed the dagger behind his neck......
