Chapter 154: Shocking Change
After reading Xiao Heding's letter, Emperor Xia sighed, put the letter paper on the candle and lit it, watching the paper burn out and turn into ashes, just like human life, it may wither at any time.
Then he asked Hai Dafu to bring a dagger and pried open the brocade box sealed with lead, only to see that there was a strange iron box made of metal in the brocade box, with a strange keyhole, but there was no key in the box.
"Finally give it to me!"
Emperor Xia smiled and couldn't help but say: "It's a pity that so much time has passed, it doesn't matter to me anymore, everyone is dead, and people die like lights out!" You think I can't figure it out, but I've figured it out a long time ago! ”
"Sea companion, accompany me to the library pavilion, no need to drive." Xia Huang said with a smile.
Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty! ”
The two didn't let the forbidden army follow, and walked to the library pavilion, Hai Dafu stretched out his hand to push the door, and forced. Well? The door didn't respond, what happened to the door that was never locked today? It seems like there's something in the way.
Just when Hai Dafu was puzzled and wanted to reach out and try, he crunched......
The door opened, and a beautiful female official stood up, as if she didn't expect the person to come was Your Majesty, and the female official was stunned for a while, and looked at Emperor Xia blankly.
Yan Xiaoxiao was really scared stupid, she couldn't imagine that it was the master of ceremonies who pushed the door, and she didn't expect that Emperor Xia would be there in person!
Didn't you say that the Library Pavilion was a secluded place, and His Majesty would not come at all? Why did I only come here for two days and then I met Your Majesty! And so reckless!
Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale with fright, and she suddenly reacted, knelt down and shouted, "Meet Your Majesty!" ”
Hai Dafu immediately asked, "What are you doing here?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "The slave maid was sent to serve in the library pavilion. ”
Xia Huang on the side nodded and said, "Get up." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao hurriedly stood up, then moved out of the way and stood respectfully aside.
After Emperor Xia entered, he arranged for Hai Dafu to find an ancient book from the library pavilion, because he knew that the key was hidden in the book.
Hai Dafu began to look for it, and Emperor Xia had nothing to do and noticed something on the copywriting in the center of the cabinet. When I looked closer, I found a line of words written on the rice paper:
"Flowers float and water flows freely, a kind of lovesickness, two places of leisure."
Xia Huang praised: "Good words! ”
Yan Xiaoxiao's cheeks flushed, hesitated for a moment, but still stepped forward, and explained: "Write with the pen, let Your Majesty see and smile." ”
Xia Huang looked at Yan Xiaoxiao sideways, he was not surprised that she had such a look at her age, Xia Huang had never seen any beauty, but he felt that this little girl had a good personality and had no natural fear of herself, as for being frightened, it seemed that she was panicked because of her sudden arrival.
It was a panic of being caught doing something wrong.
"You just thought I was someone else, so I was scared?" Natsu asked.
Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, after all, he was young and didn't know how to hide it, but he still lied: "No, no, it's just the first time I saw Your Majesty, and my heart was shaken!" ”
"Are you lying to me?" Emperor Xia deliberately put on a majestic look and said, "In this palace, no one can deceive me!" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao's face turned pale, and she quickly knelt down and said, "The slave didn't lie. ”
Emperor Xia saw her hard mouth, smiled, and then pointed to the teacup on the copy, and said: "There are two cups of teacup here, which means that you are entertaining people, and with that poem, could it be that you are having a tryst with the people in the palace?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao's heart was beating hard, and she didn't dare to continue to be hard-mouthed, but she couldn't drag down Xiao Rui, the king of Xian, so she said: "The slave is willing to prove that she is dead, and I hope that Your Majesty will fulfill it!" ”
Emperor Xia was stunned, but he didn't expect this little girl to be very strong, so he put away the meaning of teasing her, and then asked: "Get up, there are few people in the library pavilion, and it should be very lonely to be on an errand here." ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said respectfully: "There are roses in the heart, you can always smell the fragrance of flowers, and the slave maid feels that loneliness is a good medicine, which can make people see their hearts clearly." ”
"Loneliness is good medicine, see the heart. Very insightful, yes, you are so open-minded at such a young age, it is rare. Emperor Xia had nothing to do, so he wanted to chat with Yan Xiaoxiao for a while, so he asked, "When did you enter the palace?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao said: "Three months ago. ”
"Three months ago..."Emperor Xia smiled and asked, "It seems that you are going to be transferred to the Library Pavilion by yourself, right?" ”
Yan Xiaoxiao felt deeply frustrated, why could Emperor Xia guess everything, and guess so accurately? She didn't look like Emperor Xia was angry, and couldn't help but ask, "How did Your Majesty guess?" ”
Emperor Xia was a little proud, and said: "The new maid who has entered the palace in three months will mostly serve the harem concubines, or serve the princess, and in a cold place like the Library Pavilion, it will be taken care of by the palace maids who are old and offended. ”
The female officials who newly entered the palace, once they were favored by the emperor, rose to the top, and they did not offend anyone when they entered the palace, and the Inner Court Division did not dare to squeeze out indiscriminately.
Yan Xiaoxiao was silent, she felt that she could only remain silent in this situation.
When Emperor Xia saw her expression, he understood it and asked, "Which palace is your intended person to be a guard of the forbidden army?" I am in a good mood today, if you tell me truthfully, I will fulfill you and allow you to leave the palace. ”
Yan Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly, her eyebrows were happy, but then she was distressed, the person she intended was not a guard of the forbidden army at all.
"The slave and maid dare not deceive Your Majesty, and the person in the slave's mind is not in the palace." Yan Xiao said in a small voice.
Emperor Xia frowned, nodded, and said, "That's it." ”
At this moment, Hai Dafu finally found an ancient book, hurriedly walked down the stairs, and presented it to Emperor Xia.
Emperor Xia opened the book, and sure enough, he found a strange key inside. He didn't shy away from Yan Xiaoxiao, and directly opened the brocade box in front of her, and took out a roster and a stack of papers from the brocade box. There was a lot written on the paper, as well as portraits, a thick stack.
Emperor Xia briefly browsed it, then threw the roster to Hai Dafu and said, "Check it." ”
Hai Dafu said respectfully: "Yes! ”
Then, Emperor Xia took out a portrait from the stack of papers, a beautiful woman, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and captured her smiling posture very accurately. Emperor Xia stretched out his hand, lightly touched the woman's portrait face, sighed with mixed feelings, and locked the stack of papers in the brocade box again.
"Put the box away and store the keys separately." Xia Huang said.
Hai Dafu picked up the brocade box and responded: "The villain understands." ”
When Emperor Xia turned to leave, he remembered the sentence he had just seen, and couldn't help but read: "Flowers float and water flow freely, a kind of lovesickness, two sorrows..."
Sending His Majesty away, Yan Xiaoxiao breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face was lucky.
When it was time to eat at noon, Yan Xiaoxiao couldn't wait to find Ye Mei, wanting to talk to her about the morning and let her give her an idea, but she never thought that she didn't find Ye Mei, but she heard a very bad news:
Ye Mei angered the queen and accidentally smashed the treasure rewarded by His Majesty, and the Inner Court Division had already punished her heavily and expelled her from the palace!
Yan Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded, the two were fine when they separated in the early morning, why did it become like this in the morning?
