Chapter Fifty-Six, The Little Emperor
"The regent is not sick...... "Hong Xiao straightened his knees, his eyes lowering to hide the mockery in his eyes.
The Taihong Niangniang of the current dynasty and the regent had already spread in Chudu, but the first Dili was disagreed, and the courtiers couldn't say anything.
Hongxiao didn't know the situation at first, but later learned that those rumors were half-true.
It is said that Gu Yuebai and Song Ji are a couple, made in heaven, but now Hongxiao knows that it is just that Song Ji has affection for the regent.
If the regent had affection for Song Ji, how could he send her to the palace, and now he is still indifferent.
It's Song Ji who cares a little too much about Lord Regent.
Hearing her say this, Song Ji frowned and asked hurriedly, "Then what's wrong with him?" How could a person like him not go to court? The latter sentence is almost inaudible.
Thinking of the news of his arrival, Hongxiao's eyes were more mocking, but his tone was even more panicked and hesitant, "I heard that the regent seems to have taken a girl to Lanfeng Mountain...... Stayed for a few days......"
Girl...... Lanfeng Mountain ......
Song Ji's body trembled, and her eyes lit up viciously.
There are few people who can go to the other village on Lanfeng Mountain.
She also wanted to go there to see the sunrise, but Gu Yuebai refused very coldly. At that time, they were not as awkward as they are today.
At that time, she was still his red face, but Gu Yuebai didn't agree.
Who else can be taken to Lanfeng Mountain by him, except for Xia Qingyan.
Song Ji's beautiful eyes oozes resentment, she suddenly got up and looked at Hong Xiao coldly, "The mourning family wants to see the emperor, go and invite him." ”
Hongxiao's body trembled, and he took the order.
Walking to the door, she instructed a few little palace maids who were still outside the hall: "Go and clean up the inside, be quick." ”
"Yes!" The palace ladies responded in unison.
Hongxiao maintained her normal speed, and then walked faster and faster, the shards on her knees rubbing against her flesh and bones, and her face became paler and paler.
When he arrived at the imperial study, Hongxiao was stopped outside and hurriedly let people report.
Gonggong Fang, who was beside the emperor, quickly came out with a whisk, and when he saw the embarrassed Hongxiao, he hurriedly helped her.
"Aunt Hong, what's the matter with you? How? ”
Honggu pulled her into the inner hall, the little emperor was practicing calligraphy, the young man looked serious, and the typing on the paper was already quite a bit of style.
"Do you want to ask for a doctor, you can't do this!" Father-in-law Fang frowned and said worriedly when he saw the injuries on her hands and knees.
"It's okay," Hong Xiao's forehead was full of cold sweat that hurt, and he pulled Father-in-law Fang's sleeve, "The Queen Mother suddenly wants to see Your Majesty, and she won't see anyone later, so she will invite someone soon." ”
The little emperor in front of the desk put away the pen, his eyebrows and eyes were still childish, but his eyes were calm.
He looked at Hongxiao, "What is she suddenly going to see Zhen?" ”
Hongxiao shook her head, "The slave doesn't know, but it must have something to do with the regent." ”
The little emperor lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and finally clenched his little fist, "It's okay, Uncle Moon Emperor didn't touch me, let alone her." She wouldn't dare! ”
Seeing that he had made a decision, Aunt Hongxiao and Gonggong Fang stopped talking, Gonggong Fang pulled Aunt Hongxiao down to deal with the wound, and the little emperor walked to the bed.
There was a pot of mimosa in front of the window, and the green leaves were very pleasant, and the little emperor walked over and touched her leaves lightly, and the flowers and leaves curled up.
The little emperor hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, but the light in the corners of his eyes was a little heavy.
Hongxiao was right, he didn't see the little emperor coming over for a while, so Song Ji sent someone to invite him.
Liu Sheng confronted the guards outside the study, and the little emperor walked out in a slaughter.
He was dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, his body was thin, and when he came out, the wind blew, and he coughed a few times.
"Manager Liu, I don't know what the Queen Mother is looking for?" The little emperor spoke, and his voice was immature, no different from ordinary children.
"Your Majesty......" Liu Sheng saluted him respectfully, and only said after getting up, "The Queen Mother said that you have a heavy study and haven't been to her for a while." ”
"Ahem......" The little emperor coughed a few times, and Father-in-law Fang, who rushed back from the Tai Hospital, took out a cloak from the study and tied it for him.
"Your Majesty suffered from the wind and cold some time ago, and he is not all well, but he is slow to treat the Queen Mother." Father-in-law Fang explained the reason, his expression was very worried.
Hearing this, Liu Sheng looked at the little emperor, his eyes were very sharp, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked like a smile.
After all, the little emperor was still a child, and he was a little stunned by such a look, and lowered his head when he coughed.
"The Queen Mother is also very concerned about Your Majesty's body, and she also stewed soup for you, Your Majesty should go over."
The last sentence faintly carried a bit of command.
Father-in-law Fang listened anxiously on the side, and just wanted to theorize a few words but found that his sleeve was pulled by someone.
"In this case, I naturally won't go against the Queen Mother's wishes, let's go." His voice was hoarse, with a bit of youthful immaturity.
Liu Sheng turned sideways and made way for him.
From the imperial study to Yonghua Gong, it takes half an hour to walk, and Liu Sheng didn't even prepare a sedan chair.
After walking for a while, the little emperor looked up and saw the eaves of the palace not far away, and his eyes were slightly deep.
When he noticed that Liu Sheng next to him seemed to be looking at him, he slowly lowered his head and coughed.
Liu Sheng looked at the little emperor who was obviously not yet ready for fire, and the corners of his mouth hooked a sneering arc.
In the Yonghua Palace, Song Ji asked all the palace maids who were waiting to retreat and closed the door.
The room was dim, and she sat on the main seat, the silk cloth in her hand gently wiping a dagger.
The dagger reflected her beautiful but resentful eyebrows.
Liu Shengping withdrew everyone and was about to take the little emperor in, but Father-in-law Fang was not at ease and wanted to follow up, but he was restrained and knelt on the ground.
The little emperor was a little flustered, and glanced at Gonggong Fang, who had a painful and helpless expression, he turned to look at the gate in front of him, and his palms broke out in a cold sweat.
Liu Sheng took him into the hall, the light was dim, and Song Ji, who was sitting on the main seat, had a dull expression.
She smiled kindly and beckoned the little emperor to come over, such a kind smile seemed to be a little distorted on her beautiful face, and the little emperor became more and more flustered in his heart.
With a little tears in his eyes, he refused to go over, Liu Sheng looked at him coldly, grabbed his dragon robe, and carried him over.
Song Ji glanced at him with a smile, and Chen Sheng lowered his head, his eyelashes drooping, covering the look in his eyes.
The little emperor stood in front of Song Ji, Chen Sheng took two steps back, Song Ji put one hand on the little emperor's shoulder, and the little emperor Yu Guang couldn't help but shake slightly when he saw the long nails dyed with red dankou.
In the next second, a sharp dagger was already on his neck.
Liu Sheng raised his head and looked at Song Ji coldly with a pair of eyes.
Song Ji hooked her lips and smiled coldly.
She grabbed the little emperor's collar with one hand and turned his back to her, and held the dagger in the other hand on his slender neck.
The little emperor didn't dare to move.
"Prepare a carriage for me, I'm going to Lanfeng Mountain." Song Ji looked at Liu Sheng, her eyebrows were cold, and she didn't dare to relax at all when she held the dagger.
"The Lord Regent probably doesn't want to see you." Liu Sheng didn't look at the little emperor, and looked at Song Ji without blinking.
A pair of dark eyes without half emotion, it is difficult for people to imagine that the owner of these eyes is an ordinary person.
The corners of Song Ji's mouth hooked up a sneer, and the dagger was forced, and a foot blood mark had appeared on the little emperor's white and tender neck.
Liu Sheng frowned, the little emperor's eyes were already full of tears, and he looked at him pleadingly.
The small hands hidden in the wide sleeves of the dragon robe were already clenched into fists.
Liu Sheng glanced at him, and then went to look at Song Ji, but was shocked by the ruthlessness in her eyes.
……
A simple carriage slowly appeared from the gate of the palace and headed in the direction of Lanfeng Mountain.
Liu Sheng changed into a simple gray short coat and wore a hat on his head to cover his face.
Lu Jingzhi stood on the restaurant by the window, watching the carriage slowly walk away.
His face was a little abnormal, and his sideburns had already grown a little flowery, and Jing Si felt a pain in his heart.
Jing Si stood behind him and frowned, "Master......"
Lu Jingzhi turned around and smiled at him, signaling him to be relieved, he had two obvious blue and black masses under his eyes, and he didn't sleep well in the past few days when Guiyan disappeared.
Outside the city, Gu Yuebai did not move, but for the sake of safety, Lu Jingzhi still took Jing Sijingyi and Lian into the city.
It is said that the most dangerous place is the safest, and the population of 100,000 in Yuedu is not so easy for Gu Yuebai to find them.
Moreover, there are many people in Yuedu, and the news comes quickly.
"You go and follow the carriage, don't lose it." Lu Jingzhi gave Jing Si a look, and Jing Si retreated.
Not long after Jing Si left, Lian Ze pushed open the door, held a bowl of medicine in his hand, and handed it to Lu Jingzhi.
Lu Jingzhi frowned and asked, "How many bowls is this today?" ”
Recently, I have been taking medicine constantly, and my mouth is full of bitterness.
Lian Ze glared at him angrily, "It's good to have medicine to eat, but in a few days, the winter snow grass will run out, and you won't be able to eat it if you want to." ”
Lu Jingzhi took the medicine, "Life and death are fate, and wealth is in the sky." ”
He threw his head up and drank the brown potion in one gulp, and wiped his mouth.
Lian Ze took the bowl and sneered, "In that case, you won't drink the bowl of medicine later, don't drink all of it, it's dead." ”
Lu Jingzhi chuckled, looked at the palace of Chu State, his eyes were deep, and he did not speak.
Lian Ze looked at Lu Jingzhi with a complicated gaze, although he had never understood this Prime Minister Lu, but now he is becoming more and more confused.
When Lian Ze left, Lu Jingzhi slowly touched his chest with his hand, and said to himself, "Lu Jingzhi, you have to live longer, you have to come back!" ”
"If you die, she will really be trapped by Gu Yuebai's side and won't be able to get out."
The voice was faint, almost inaudible.
……
The carriage went all the way to the foot of Lanfeng Mountain, and a guard stepped forward to stop the carriage, Liu Sheng looked at the well-equipped and huge number of guards in front of him, and took out the token in his arms.
The wooden token, on which is a simple and complex pattern, in the most central place, is carved with a huge "Mu" character.
