Chapter Eighty-Nine: Above-Earth People, Underground Ghosts
Palace
The lights illuminated the splendid palace as if it were daylight, and Gongsun Xie came to the palace and was led by the eunuch to the emperor's bedroom.
At this time, the emperor of Lingyue Kingdom, Gongsun Xie's biological father, was lying on the bed with his eyes tightly closed, and the legendary dragon robe was indeed falling to the ground.
A sneer in Gongsun Xie's eyes was fleeting, although he knew that his father had recruited him into the palace to test him, but when he saw this scene with his own eyes, his heart still couldn't help but hurt.
Gongsun Xie hooked his lips and sneered in his heart, what is there to be heartbroken? Didn't you just know who he was ten years ago?
The eunuch took Gongsun Xie to the bedroom, and then quietly withdrew, and the old emperor and Gongsun Xie who had fallen asleep were left in the huge bedroom. Gongsun Xie lowered his head and stood there slightly bent over, not stepping forward.
After a long time, the sleeping emperor suddenly woke up, opened his cloudy eyes, and saw Gongsun Xie, "When did you come?" No one is called me! The old emperor said as he slowly got up.
"The son has seen his father, long live his father, long live long live!" Gongsun Xie knelt down and saluted with his hands on the ground.
"Get up!" The emperor looked kind, patted the edge of his bed, "Come here......
Gongsun Xie knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in fear, "Father's dragon robe fell to the ground, and the sons didn't dare to step forward!" ”
When the old emperor heard this, he was stunned for half a second, and suddenly laughed, "Okay, good!" Someone came to spread my will, rewarding the king of peace with ten thousand taels of gold! One silk and one silk each......"
The father-in-law who was guarding the door was stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and wondered if there was something wrong with their ears, otherwise why didn't they hear it and drag it out! But...... Reward!
The emperor saw that no one came in for a long time, and his wrinkled face instantly sank, "Are all the people outside dead......?"
The little eunuch knew that he had heard correctly, so he quickly pushed the door in, knelt down and begged for mercy...... The emperor spared his life......"
Although the old emperor is old, his eyes are still as sharp as a sword, and his eyes sweep, and the soul of the little eunuch is frightened. Even though they didn't look at the emperor's eyes, they could feel the emperor's sword-like eyes, as if they were about to cut them with a thousand knives.
"There's another time...... Never spare ......"
"Thank you for your kindness...... the little eunuch's kowtow thanks. After a while, you must burn incense to the Bodhisattva, thank the Bodhisattva for your blessing!
……
Feng Yang, who was not worried about the safety of Gongsun Xie, was about to fly into the palace wall outside the palace gate when he saw Gongsun Xie coming out of it. When the father-in-law who sent Gongsun Xie out, he turned around and entered the palace gate, and then came out of the darkness.
"Master......" Feng Yang said in surprise.
"Hmm"
The residence of the Four Princes
"What did you say?" The fourth prince jumped up from his chair in disbelief.
"King An Ning is not only not dead, but also ......" Ning Kang secretly glanced at the black-faced four princes.
"And what?" The four princes looked at Ning Kang gloomily.
"And...... The emperor also rewarded 10,000 taels of gold, as well as silk and satin......"
"Bang-" The table was overturned, and the things on the table fell to the ground, and some fragile things also shattered.
Ning Kang was frightened and took a step back. The expression on his face became more and more cautious and frightened.
"How did he escape the temptation of his father?" Since his father's accession to the throne, no one has been able to get out of his father's palace alive every time he is tempted by the dragon robe, why can Gongsun Xie come out alive?
"What did he say?" The fourth prince stared at Ning Kang and asked.
"The spies couldn't find out what King An Ning said in the emperor's bedroom." Ning Kang lowered his head, and his waist bent even more.
This prince will find out tomorrow what Gongsun Xie said or did, since he can escape the emperor's temptation.
"Yes!" Ning Kang took the order.
The news that Gongsun Xie escaped the emperor's temptation and survived instantly spread to every corner of Chang'an.
"Master, Gongsun Xie is out of the palace alive!" A figure stood outside the window, speaking in a low voice.
The man lying on the bed in the darkness suddenly opened his eyes, sat up, and then sneered, "It's kind of interesting...... I hope you don't let me down in the future......"
……
When Gongsun Xie returned to the mansion, the mansion was as brightly lit as when he left, and the entire palace was waiting for him except for Ye Qingqiu, who had already fallen asleep.
"Ziqing-" Wen Wan greeted her happily when she saw it, and hugged Gongsun Xie, and Gongsun Xie's body stiffened. Subconsciously reached out and pushed her away.
"Didn't it make you sleep obediently? Why haven't you slept yet?"
Wen Wan's face flushed slightly, and she looked shyly for the first time, "I...... I can't say anything about "worrying about you" below .......
"Lord Wang-" Li Dazhi listened to the next person in the room, and Gongsun Xie came back and ran immediately. Sure enough, Gongsun Xie stood there completely, and in the cold wind, Li Dazhi looked at Gongsun Xie from a distance and smiled.
He really didn't follow the wrong person! He had thought a lot before this. If Gongsun Xie doesn't come back this time, what should he do? Is it to find a new master or obediently give up the idea of revenge and return flattery?
Of course, he also complained to himself, why can't he come up with a plan to let the prince escape this catastrophe, he is the prince's staff, as a staff member, isn't it to give advice, but along the way, he doesn't seem to have any good ideas from the prince. So much so that he began to doubt his abilities.
"Mr. Jean is worried...... Gongsun Xie smiled faintly, and then owed to Li Dazhi.
Gongsun Xie's words made Li Dazhi very ashamed.
Several people entered the room.
The red candles in the room were flickering, the streamers were flying, and several people were around the stove, and Li Dazhi asked Gongsun Xie very curiously how he escaped the emperor's temptation.
Wen Wan, who was sitting next to Gongsun Xie, also looked at Gongsun Xie and she was also very curious......
Gongsun Xie looked down at the stove, and the corners of his mouth hooked coldly,
"It's nothing, it's just that my father believes in ghosts and gods! So he has always thought that people on the ground and ghosts ...... underground."
Li Dazhi suddenly laughed with realization, "I see! ”
Wen Wan frowned, she didn't understand Gongsun Xie's words very well, "Ziqing is an above-ground person, how can I not understand the underground ghost." ”
Li Dazhi explained with a smile, "The dragon robe fell to the ground, it is a person, and the dragon robe falling on the ground is an allusion to the emperor's ......" said the taboo word, Li Dazhi hurriedly silenced and paused, "The underground is a ghost..."
"I understand......" Through Li Dazhi's explanation, Wen Wan understood what was going on. Wen Wan turned her head to look at Gongsun Xie, and said with a look of adoration, "Ziqing, you are so powerful!" ”
How many people died because of this, but Ziqing easily turned the danger into a disaster.
The gentle praise did not make Gongsun Xie happy, in fact, when he returned home, he heard that Ye Qingqiu had fallen asleep, and he was already in a bad mood.
Everyone was worried about him, but he slept with a relieved heart. Gongsun Xie wanted to go to Ye Qingqiu's room to wake him up and ask him, "Isn't he worried about himself?" Fortunately, he tried his best to resist the impulse.
In the courtyard, Ning Yue listened to what a few people inside said, and her worried heart was also put down, she said, the person who wants the life of the prince has not yet been born.
Ning Yue knew that Gongsun Xie had come back completely, so she turned around and went back to the room with confidence.
In the room, the three of them talked for a while, and then went back to the house. The next day, Gongsun Xie put the gold rewarded by the emperor into the treasury, and the second gave the silk rewarded by the emperor very generously to a gentle horse.
Although Wen Yan is a young lady, after all, she is an orphan under the fence, and when has she ever seen such a good silk. I was very happy at the moment, but I was reserved on my face, "This and this, this and this, ......"
Wen Wan hurriedly brought the subordinate over to the satin and pushed it into the man's arms, "It's too precious, I can't ask for it!" ”
At this time, Wen Wan's heart was sweet, and she hung her head shyly, "Ziqing...... Why did you give me a silk horse?" Could he ...... Like me? Thinking of this, Wen Wan's face couldn't help but turn red.
"What's too precious?" Ye Qingqiu, who had just entered the courtyard, heard Wen Wan's words and smelled them curiously.
Ye Qingqiu walked over, and saw someone holding a high-quality silk satin, Ye Qingqiu was born in Zuo Xiangfu, so he naturally knew about jewelry and silk.
Ye Qingqiu reached out and gently stroked the skin in her palm that was as slippery as skin, so she couldn't help but scream, "It's so silky—so soft—"
Wen Wan lowered her eyelids, and when Ye Qingqiu's hand touched the silk that Gongsun Xie was going to give her, a touch of viciousness flashed in her eyes.
Damn slut, she actually touched her stuff with her dirty hands.
"Can you give me some?" Ever since her father died, she hadn't worn any of these fine fabrics!
I think that at the beginning, there were countless of these things in their family.
Ye Qingqiu looked at Gongsun Xie with a pleading face, hoping that he could give him a meter or two of fabric for her to make a good dress.
It's just that Gongsun Xie not only pretended not to see it, but he even said, "I'll have someone send this silk to your room in a while." ”
Gongsun Xie looked at Wen Wan, obviously her words were said to Wen Wan.
Hearing this, Wen Wan was overjoyed, "But ......" At the same time, Wen Wan also glanced at Ye Qingqiu with some embarrassment.
"As long as you like...... Nothing but ......."
Ye Qingqiu "cut", but he didn't prayed without face.
When Ye Qingqiu turned around, the corner of her eyes swept over the silk in her hand, although she really liked it, but ...... No matter how much she likes it, it's not hers.
"Miss Jun......" Ye Qingqiu turned around and just took a step when she heard Wen Wan calling her, Ye Qingqiu knew in her heart that Wen Wan stopped her at the moment, and there must be nothing good to say.
Even so, Ye Qingqiu couldn't help but stop and turned to look at Wen Wan, she wanted to see what this white lotus would say.
"Ziqing, since Miss Jun has begged, can you give Miss Jun an inch in Wan'er's face, okay?" Wen Wan cautiously looked at Gongsun Xie in a white robe, and asked softly.
"Poof" Before Gongsun Xie could speak, Ye Qingqiu had already laughed.
Ye Qingqiu leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, and the flowers and branches trembled.
"What are you laughing at, Miss Jun?"
