Chapter 41: Others

Sima Nan drank a cup of tea before leaving the calm room.

When he left, he found that there was no longer an indifferent light in his calm eyes, but some love and attachment.

He didn't know if it was his own fantasy or reality.

He is a little sad, but he is still happy, and he is happy to forget that he is about to get married and become someone else's husband.

It was late at night, the lights in the calm house had gone out, and she slept.

Sima Nan swept down from the roof ridge opposite, snapped his fingers slightly, and a black-clothed masked secret guard appeared in front of him.

"I'm staring at it, I'm afraid there will be changes tonight." Sima Nan commanded in a low voice.

The Dark Guard arched his hand, and disappeared into the shadows.

Sima Nan glanced at the dark room nostalgically, and walked towards the Yingxin Hall in front.

It was the emperor's bedroom, and he was on duty tonight, and he had to go there to answer him.

When he passed, the emperor had already gone to bed, and there was the sound of a woman's soft cry and a man's rapid breathing.

Sima Nan sighed slightly, and stood outside the hall with a sad face.

Yingxin Hall is a special place for the emperor to sleep, and according to the ancestral system, concubines are not allowed to stay overnight.

If it had been before, he would have rushed in and killed this daring concubine.

Can now?

He'd killed two of them before.

Jiang Ming scolded him too much every time, saying that he couldn't blame innocent people because of the emperor's mediocrity.

He wants to open it now, and since the emperor doesn't listen to him, he doesn't want to care anymore.

He just did his part, just do what he had to do.

He promised his master that he must help him manage this country.

Then he just takes care of this country.

As for what the emperor has become, he is really powerless.

The night wind blew, eliminating the stuffiness of the day, leaving only the warmth and coolness, but Sima Nan, who was standing in the wind, suddenly shivered.

He squinted slightly, and glanced towards the Shang Palace Bureau.

The majestic palace blocked his view, and he couldn't see anything, but there was a faint smell of blood in the wind.

Sima Nan held the sword in his hand, his feet were about to move, and he glanced at the palace behind him, but he stood still.

The black-clad Dark Guard staggered closer.

Sima Nan stretched out his hand to support him, but his heart fell into the abyss.

"Leader, I'm sorry, the opponent is too strong, subordinate, not an opponent." The dark guard said hoarsely, spitting blood from his mouth and falling to the ground.

The palace behind him was no longer his fetters.

He whistled lightly and hurried in the direction of the Shang Palace Bureau.

The smell of blood came from the calm room.

Sima Nan's eyes were red, and he broke in as fast as he could in his life.

Everything in the room was neat, except for the pool of blood stains on the bed.

"Calm down." Sima Nan let out a cry in his heart and turned around to go out.

His nose was sharp, and he smelled the last trace of blood in the wind and came to the woods near the cold palace.

There was a hut for the eunuchs to rest.

The hut was lit by a faint light candle.

A man in a black feather coat is sitting on the edge of the kang with a woman in his arms.

The woman's skirt hung low, revealing half of her arms and shoulders.

On the handsome and extraordinary face of the man, it is quite sad and in love.

Sima Nan stopped his steps to move forward, the sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the sharp blade cut the blood on his palm but he didn't realize it.

The two people in the room were completely unaware of the approaching people.

Calmly biting the Jinpa of the Nine Princes in his mouth, he nodded at him.

With a shallow smile of encouragement on the corner of Zhang's mouth, he said in a low voice: "You bear with it, just take a moment, I move quickly, and I will pull out the arrow in a flash." ”

Calmly nodded.

Zhang suddenly patted his head, snorted, and turned his head to the side: "Ouch, my little girl, what kind of mess are you here to make." ”

Calmly hearing this, the tense nerves suddenly relaxed, followed by a huge pain.

Zhang raised the arrow he pulled out in front of her, the sweat on his forehead flowed down his cheeks like a rain, but the smile on his lips was a little fuller.

"Look, you're distracted, and the arrow went smoothly." Zhang threw the arrow to the ground, tore off a piece of snow-white cotton silk from his body, leaned over, and his voice trembled a little:

"Time is pressing, I'm afraid of wound infection, and this king can't care about the difference between men and women, if you want this king to be responsible, this king is happy."

Calmly took down the handkerchief in his mouth, wiped the cold sweat on his face, and showed a weak smile: "The prince is serious, the prince's life-saving grace, calm can't be repaid, how can you pay attention to such a trivial matter." ”

Zhang bandaged her wound, gently tied her skirt, helped her lie down on the kang, covered the quilt, and said with a low smile: "You rest for a while, and when the wound does not bleed, I will send you back." ”

"Trouble the prince." Calm down.

Zhang sat down beside her, picked up a handkerchief and helped her wipe the sweat on her face: "This trauma medicine will hurt a little when you just apply it, it will be fine after a while, don't be afraid, the arrow is not deep, but the arrow is simmered with poison, fortunately you are not afraid of poison, otherwise I will really die in a hurry." ”

The pain of the wound made Calm a little unbearable, she had a lot to say, but now she didn't want to say a word, slowly closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

I don't know how long I slept, but when I opened my eyes, I saw that Zhang was still sitting on the edge of the kang, staring at her with blazing eyes.

The wound was no longer painful and unbearable, and he calmly glanced out the window, but it was still pitch black. So he asked:

"Lord, how long have I been asleep?"

Zhang flashed his eyes: "It's about an hour." It's still early in the morning, you can rest for a while, don't be afraid, I'll send you back.

If you don't want them to know you're hurt, I'll do it quietly and make sure they don't find out. ”

"Lord Wang, why did you go to the Shang Palace Bureau?" Calmly asked.

Zhang crooked the corners of his mouth and laughed: "If I don't go, your life will be rested." ”

"You know someone is trying to kill me?" Asked calmly and curiously.

Zhang shook his head, a lonely smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know, I just happened to meet it." I just want to see you and talk to you,

You know, I don't have friends in the palace, and I have to pretend to be a fool all day long, it's really tiring, it's easy to have you as a confidant, I really have a lot to say,

When my mother was here, I could still say a few serious words, but now that my mother is gone, it is really lonely. ”

"But in this case, it's really dangerous, don't take any more risks, if I'm free, I'll come to you and talk to you, let's make an appointment in this hut, okay?" Smiled calmly.

Zhang's eyes were bright, and his face was full of joy: "Are you really willing to come and chat with me?" Aren't you afraid that my waste will hurt you? ”

"If you talk about the burden, it is the slave and the maid who are involved with the prince, the prince was just going to chat with the slave and maid, but the prince was in danger." Calm looked shy and whispered.

"It doesn't matter, this king thinks that he has learned a peerless martial arts, but unfortunately there is no place to show it, today's battle, but this king's self-confidence has greatly increased, it turns out that Zhou Damiang did not lie to me, my martial arts are really powerful."

Zhang said excitedly.

Calm also laughed, forgot about the pain on his body, and laughed and chatted with him.

The people outside the house stood like stone carvings, their hearts broken with blood.

Sima Nan originally thought that he and Calm would be a couple for the rest of their lives, he liked her, and she liked him.

But now it seems that it is not unreasonable to say such things to him calmly.

It turns out that she really already has a sweetheart, and they are close to each other, you and me, very sweet.

At least, he had never been treated so gently by Calm.

He had hardly ever seen a calm smile, especially such a bright smile.

The house was still drizzling and warm.

Sima Nan was already standing in the coldest winter.

I don't know how long later, the lights went out in the hut, and there was silence all around, as if those grass insects were afraid of startling the sweet dreams of a couple of beautiful people in the house.

Sima Nan's eyes slowly left with a hollow look.

I don't know how long I walked before I saw the lamps and candles of the Ying Xin Temple.

There was a lot of commotion there.

Several guards saw him coming, rushed up, and began to attack in a gossipy: "General, the emperor has been assassinated, and the assassin has not yet been caught." ”

Sima Nan's sanity had just recovered, his brows furrowed, and his eyes became sharp: "Assassinated? What kind of person is so bold! ”

Feng Bao walked out of the hall, glanced back with palpitations, walked up to Sima Nan, and said in a dumb voice: "General, the emperor told you to go in, be careful, although you are not injured, you are frightened and are beating people." ”

Sima Nan patted him on the shoulder and walked in.

Emperor Xiao was jumping and scolding, and there were people kneeling on the ground.

In the blink of an eye, he came in and scolded louder.

Sima Nan waved his sleeves and let the people in the house retreat.

Emperor Xiao panted and sat on the dragon chair and roared: "Aren't you on duty tonight?" Where did you die? Is that an assassin you?

If you want to sit on this dragon chair, just say that I am giving way to you, so why use such despicable means. ”

"Needless to say, such a paradox will be repeated, within three days, the minister will arrest the assassin and hand it over to the emperor himself."

Sima Nan knelt on one knee and replied in a dumb voice.

Emperor Xiao looked at his bleeding hands, snorted coldly, but his eyes tightened violently: "Even you are injured?" Who is the Assassin? ”

The chief eunuch beside Emperor Xiao, Gonggong Ming, replied slightly: "Your Majesty, the old slave looked at the assassin a little familiar,

I wonder if the emperor remembers to watch Aunt Zhou beside Concubine Guan? ”

"You mean, that Aunt Zhou in Kyushu?" Emperor Xiao lost his voice.

"Impossible, Aunt Zhou has been killed by General Ben, and General Ben personally buried his body." Sima Nan said in a deep voice.

"So the old slave also thinks it's strange, how can he appear in the palace again when he is obviously dead?" Father-in-law Ming muttered.

"You must be dazzled by this old thing." Emperor Xiao waved his sleeves dissatisfiedly and blasted him out.

Sima Nan straightened his eyes and coughed lightly: "Your Majesty, back then, Gonggong Ming and Zhou Da Niang were sworn brothers, if he thought it was Zhou Da Niang, this assassin Ba Cheng was Zhou Da Niang." ”

Emperor Xiao sneered: "That is, you fooled me back then, and you didn't kill him at all?" ”

"I killed Aunt Zhou, but it may not be the real Aunt Zhou! His disguise technique is also unparalleled in the world, otherwise he would not pretend to be a eunuch and mix in the palace for more than ten years. Sima Nandao.

Emperor Xiao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and sighed: "Fortunately, he sneaked into the palace back then, just to avoid his opponent, otherwise my life would have been suspended long ago." ”
