Everyone in the hall knelt down and said in unison: "See Your Majesty."

The purple-clothed figure of the little emperor walked past a column of people: "Get up." walked to the side of the case Su and personally helped the case Su up.

Case Su said in fear: "Your Majesty is the Ninth Five, how can you deign to help me as the son of a sinner."

The little emperor was stunned for a moment, and his outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, and it took a long time before slowly retracting it.

There are a total of four people in the house, plus the emperor is only five, and the other four people are silent when they see this scene, the case Su has a special identity, as he said, the son of a sinner, and there is a difference between monarchs and ministers, two close friends are separated by mountains and seas, the emperor does not understand.

"Why did the third brother say that the teacher is in Yongzhou?" The Emperor asked, standing up straight, but his eyes did not take his eyes off the blue-clothed young man.

Qin Riju frowned slightly, and said: "The minister's henchmen have traced that fifteen years ago, Gu Xiao was poisoned by the Gu poison in southern Xinjiang for some reason, and he urgently needed the medicine stone to solve the Gu, Yongzhou is a place of commerce, and it is not strange that rare treasures from all over the world appear there, a few days ago, I heard that a Gu merchant stayed in Yongzhou, and his whereabouts were hidden, if it wasn't for the loss of his life, how could Gu Xiao leave behind the henchmen and the court around him."

"So you think, the teacher is in Yongzhou?" The little emperor said coldly, it seemed that he had gas in his belly.

Everyone didn't dare to say much, the little emperor only lowered his eyes and looked at Su Su, and said in a sullen voice in his heart: "Teacher, and the Su family back then, you have to hold on to it for fifteen years, can Su Yi come back to life?" What's the point of you being entangled? He shouted this to the blue-clothed young man in front of him, and from his point of view, he happened to see the mark of the criminal hidden under the placket of the young man's clothes, which had grown on him for fifteen years, from the age of eight to the age of twenty-three, and had long been ingrained.

Is it because of this that he feels that he is a criminal?

That's just a mark.

"Case Su" The little emperor called him, and he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his lips, so he held back a sentence: "I went back."

Yongzhou City.

At night, Su Comet went to take the lamp, and the plain white lantern was hung outside the Manjing Garden, hanging under the locust tree, and he felt that there were too many lamps and candles, so he only asked Shu Jiu to take one and put it on the bookcase he wanted to use.

After finishing his busy work, he swept up all the leaves in the yard, and was stopped by the comet when he was halfway through: "Just sweep it casually, there are a few yellow leaves on the ground to make it look like autumn."

Not long after a gust of wind blew in the yard, the fallen leaves that had just been swept into piles were blown all over the ground, and he didn't care about it, he lifted his clothes and jumped on the front desk of the house, he stood with Su Jiu, two young teenagers were tilting their heads to look inside the house, their master was dressed in blue and was doing it in the east, and there was an old man who looked a little older standing next to him, this old man was known to several people, and he was the housekeeper who was responsible for the income and expenditure of the palace.

Comet Su's voice came out of the room: "That's all? Didn't the prince ask for something else? "Since he came back from Meiyuan that day, Qin Yuezhu has never looked for him again, only asking someone to send some things that are not very useful.

It was the housekeeper in the palace who came to deliver things, and he was very arrogant, and he heard the prince say that he wanted to hand over the account book and the key to the treasury to this young man who was not in the middle of the weak crown, and he wanted to send it personally, of course he felt unhappy, although they were all serving the prince, but male pets like the comet were inevitably settled in many places.

"That's all." The old butler straightened his waist and said, "The prince has no other explanation, only that the prince will do it." ”

Of course, what he wanted was not a few account books and treasury keys, what he wanted was Qin Yuezhu's own seal to enter the city, but it was really not okay to have a seal, he hinted several times that Qin Yuezhu was either a joke, or he was playing with a few ladies and sons, although he said that he was a male pet, but in his previous life, he was not close to women, and of course he was very rusty to deal with this kind of occasion, so he left after not staying long.

Asked someone to send the housekeeper away, Su Comet looked at the things on the table and was stunned, and Su Jiu Shu Shi teased the black cat he picked up a few days ago and chattered: "Recently, our prince has been getting better and better to Gongzi, and the palace account book is such an important thing, so he actually showed it to Gongzi."

It's useless for him to ask for an account book, of course he doesn't want to care, Qin Yuezhu sent this to him just to perfunctory him, which shows that the person has not fully believed in himself, he must find some opportunities to make Qin Yuezhu have to believe him.

The palace will be lit up at night, until there is no courtyard that is lit up like the Moon Palace, at that time it is also the time for the lady and the son to eat, the side concubine and a few favored ladies do not say, other people's dinner is distributed by the big kitchen, and it happens that Manjing Garden is no exception, dinner is sent into the courtyard, and the dishes are served on the table in the same way.

Su Comet touched the black cat's chin again, glanced at a column of people outside the courtyard, that column held the same dinner covered with a lid in his hand, and was sent to the next courtyard by the maidservant, and the dinner was sent in, he excused himself to rest and opened the dream of nine and ten, changed into simple clothes, opened a window and went out, quietly followed the food delivery team, stopped after Fanghua Courtyard, and the maid who delivered the food still continued to move forward, if he remembered correctly, Fanghua Courtyard lived in a pregnant side concubine.

The side concubine in Fanghua Courtyard is the young daughter of the imperial historian Zhang Jingliang, she has only married into the palace in recent years, and those who can enter the Yongwang Mansion to serve the prince are not ordinary people, since fifteen years ago, King Yong moved from the imperial city to Yongzhou, and since then his temperament has changed greatly, and he began to like beautiful people, regardless of men and women, as long as he looks good, King Yong will not refuse, and the side concubine is not only good-looking, but also Jingzhao is famous for no one, since entering the palace, King Yong has been fond of her, and now he is pregnant The prince is of course a pet on the side concubine.

Even Mama Liu, who has served the prince for more than ten years and was allowed to serve the side concubine after the side concubine became pregnant, patted her thigh and said: "The prince has been among the thousands of flowers, and he has always been a dragonfly in that little water, and he is not careful, Niangniang is the first one in the palace to conceive a son, and in the heart of the prince, Niangniang is a treasure."

The side concubine smiled shyly at that time, and it was inevitable to be modest: "Look at what Mama said is not treasured, don't talk nonsense about the title of the prince, only the children born to the prince's concubine can be called the son of the world." That being said, but my heart may not really feel so, although she is pregnant, the side concubine's appearance is still beautiful, and her gestures have been different, no wonder Qin Yuezhu likes it.

The comet hid behind a rockery in Fanghua Courtyard, and heard the old lady say with a smile: "The child in your womb is the first child of the prince, and it is only a matter of time before the mother is named the concubine." After hearing this, no matter what the master and servant in the hall were talking about, Su Comet took out a small cage from his arms, because there was a thin layer of clothing in his arms, and although the small cage was wooden, it also scratched a few pieces of tender meat in front of him.

The voice of the old lady in the house came out again, and it sounded very powerful: "Although the prince loves the mother a lot, but the mother is now pregnant, it is inevitable that some people will not take this opportunity to seduce the prince, and if it is a favorite at that time, I am afraid that it will be unfavorable to the mother."

The concubine sat on the soft felt and raised her eyes when she heard the words, and looked at Mama Liu with a pair of willow eyebrows, and Mama Liu saw that her words hit the concubine's heart, and continued: "The old slave heard that the one in the Manjing Garden in the West Courtyard boldly asked the prince for the accounts of the palace today with the favor of the prince." Mama Liu was a little indignant at the end, and her tone was fierce, as if he was doing something hurtful.

Su Comet thought about it carefully, and said that he was the only one in the west courtyard called Manjing Garden, and only he received something from King Yong's housekeeper in the evening.

The account book was sent by Qin Yuezhu for his perfunctory order, and he himself had no intention of taking it, but in Mama Liu's mouth, he was like a villain who dared to break up other people's families.

"The one in the Manjing Garden, although he is a man, he is more charming than a woman, he entered the house at the age of fourteen, and the days of his favor were given by the prince, and the food and clothing were not worse than those used by the side concubine now, he entered the house later than the mother, can the mother remember?" Mama Liu bowed her body, the candlelight in the room shone warmly on her shriveled face, half of that face was buried in the shadows, looking particularly gloomy, when she spoke, she deliberately lowered her tone and pretended to be serious and said, "The old slave has served the prince since he was young, and he has seen many people, but he has never seen a lady who has such treatment as a mother, so this son does not need to say, it is all the prince's plaything, but if you don't discipline it, it will turn the sky upside down." ”

The implication is to bewitch this concubine to discipline him? Saying that men are all playthings, there are four sons in the backyard of their prince, and he is not among these playthings.

is a good person who relies on the old and sells the old to see things, relying on Qin Yue for a long time in a vain attempt to bewitch the side concubine to disturb the purity of others.

Su Comet has anger in his heart, this anger has been held since he woke up to the present, thinking that he is a seven-foot man, in his previous life, he was also the object of support for a talented girl and a young lady, although he had a bad reputation before his death, but he never took the charge of this fox, but although he was angry, he was not angry enough to rush out to the point of arguing with others

。

His face was silent, holding the cage in his hand and opening the lid of the cage, and soon a live mouse jumped out of the cage immediately, it was dinner time, the side concubine did not eat the food in the big kitchen because she was pregnant, but the small kitchen in her yard was not sloppy at all.

The mouse was caught by the black cat in the house, and the cat always had to play with the mouse before eating, and he took advantage of that time to put the mouse into the cage, and the mouse would eat people when it was hungry, and it was also scaring if it didn't eat people.

After a while, I heard a few exclamations from a woman in the house, first the maid who was serving the food saw the little thing that had just run in from the ground where she was kneeling beside the felt, and she was so frightened that she screamed "mouse", and a woman who had called the whole room heard this mouse and also cried.

Although the old lady was also afraid, she wanted to protect the side concubine and the child in the side concubine's womb, so she could only hold the side concubine and retreat, waving her hand to let a few maids check where the mouse was.

The chaos of Fanghua Courtyard is equivalent to the chaos of the entire palace.

"Niangniang, Niangniang is frightened, where is the prince? Where is the prince? The old lady yelled at the maidservants.

The maidservants hurriedly pulled out their bodies and replied, "At this time, it should be in the moon maze."

"Quickly get someone to find it."

After that, a servant girl went out in a hurry, and the comet also took advantage of the chaos to get out of the door of Fanghua Courtyard and found a big tree outside to squat, as he expected, the side concubine was the most calm in this room.

"I don't have anything to do, so I asked the prince to do something." The side concubine was escorted to the low couch by the grandmother and covered with a quilt.

Mama Liu said: "This will help Niangniang stabilize the heart of the prince, and Niangniang will listen to me." So saying, she got up and went to chase away the rats with the maidservants.

Su Comet watched this farce play out here, and saw that the concubine and his fetus were fine, and everything was planned, so he came out from behind the tree.

When he arrived at Yuemijindu, Qin Yuezhu had just walked on his front foot, because he had been familiar with the long bridge and arrived at the gate of the water pavilion with a familiar car.

Therefore, he felt that if there was anything important, Qin Yuezhu would also hide here.

Because he was in a hurry, Qin Yuezhu did not extinguish the candles in the water pavilion, but this month, Mijindu was not as bright as he thought, only a few two lights, one was placed on the bookcase, and the other was left on the side of the couch for easy reading and sleeping.

It's easy to find something bright, the moon is not big from the outside, but there is a hole in the inside, and the night is thick, there are a few places where the two lights can't be illuminated at all, and he is afraid that the lamp will be used to illuminate outsiders to see the candle in the house move, will be detected, so they can only find it in the dark.

Su Comet frowned, and suddenly felt that Qin Yuezhu's problem of not liking strong light was a bit similar to herself, but she didn't think much about it, and felt the root of the wall to find something.

The main gate of Yuemijindu is opened and entered, on the left hand side is the bookcase of Qin Yuezhu on weekdays, and there is a deputy painting window on the wall on the right, and under the painting window is a vice low couch for him to rest on weekdays, there is an incense burner next to the low couch, and there is a book wall standing against the wall on the side, and a few books are spread out and fall on the ground.

He didn't remember Qin Yuezhu's happy books, when they were classmates in the past, he preferred to read some messy books, and several times Qin Yuezhu said that he didn't specialize in studying the right way, so the two also fought, of course, it was his own first move, Qin Yuezhucai was not interested in paying attention to him.

But looking at this room full of books, Su Comet couldn't help but be a little strange, picked up a random copy and flipped through it, and it was strange again, he had really read this book, and it was all about things that were not related to etiquette, righteousness and shame.

"It's really strange, when did Qin Yuezhu like these things, didn't he have a headache when he saw a book with too many words." He muttered, thinking it funny and laughing again, and with a slip of his hand, he accidentally dropped the book that had turned a few pages to the ground, and wanted to pick it up and put it back in place, but when he squatted down, he saw a place under the low couch that was exceptionally white, and he couldn't help but think of some white-faced ghosts.

Trembling, but unable to resist his curiosity, he leaned down and looked under the low couch, and breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just a mask.

A mask? A familiar mask. Su Comet said in his heart, stretched out his arm and took out the mask from under the low couch, and looked at it for a while before finally remembering.

This mask is all moon white, and the other masks are either painted with hideous or funny faces, this one has no mouth, no expression, except for a pair of eyes, only a red mark on the forehead.

A month ago, he had sneaked out of the house to get a soul-stabilizing medicine from his master, and on the way he picked up an assassin covered in blood, who happened to be wearing this mask on his face.

Although he had suspicions after that, there were people in the palace who had a relationship with this assassin, but he didn't expect it to have something to do with Qin Yuezhu himself, and now he was a little confused, Qin Yuezhu didn't boast that he was a straw bag, and he had a few meanings for assassination and Gu raising.

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw signs of the lights flickering outside the house, so he didn't dare to worry too much, put the mask back in its place, quickly rummaged through it, and found a seal in the drawer under the bookcase, and confirmed the payment.

He took out the rice paper and ink clay he was carrying from his body, printed the seal on the ink and printed it on the clean paper, and put the seal back in its place to avoid Qin Yuezhu's suspicion.

Qin Yuezhu was already standing outside the door with a lamp, and in a panic, he hid behind the screen, and there was a bucket behind the screen, which Qin Yuezhu used to bathe.

The wooden door clicked open and closed again.

To the ears of Su Comet, Qin Yuezhu seemed to have walked to the bookcase, walked back without knowing what he had done, and stopped again when he reached the position of the low couch near the screen.

But in Qin Yuezhu's view, although the screen is wide and can block the upper body of a person, it is not good to completely block a person, it should be because the room is not bright enough, and this person panicked to make this decision and hid behind the screen.

The comet was exposed, but he didn't know it, thinking that he hadn't seen it, and he was thinking about waiting for him to fall asleep, so he went out while Qin Yuezhu was asleep.

Qin Yuezhu originally wanted to split the screen and hold it, but after carefully looking at the ornaments on the shoes, he felt that he was very familiar and guessed who it was, so he was not in a hurry to disturb him, took off his coat and hung it on the screen, and walked slowly towards the back of the screen, walking and putting his hand on the screen, and pushing it at will, the screen leaned against the wooden barrel to be bathed.

The wooden barrel is placed against the wall, although it is some distance from the wall, but if the comet wants to go out, the screen must be moved, Qin Yuezhu's lane is equivalent to cutting off his back road, and he can't get out.

Then he saw that Qin Yuezhu's shadow on the screen was about to bypass the screen, and in a hurry, Su Comet got into the bath bucket full of water, covered his mouth and nose and held his breath.

He originally thought that Qin Yuezhu just turned the screen to take a look, and then wanted to hold on until the person was no longer suspicious.

A smile appeared on Qin Yuezhu's lips, but he did not leave as he wished, the candle flame carved his figure on the screen, and his half-naked upper body was fit and could be vaguely seen from the shadow printed on the screen.

In this way, Su Comet watched him take off his clothes from behind the screen and walk in, but now that he went out, he buried his head in the water and continued to hold his breath.

After a while, I saw Qin Yuezhu stretching out one foot into the bath tub, but after a while, the whole person came in.
