When Chen Fangzao jumped onto the roof again, Sima Ruolan had already woken up.

Seeing Chen Fangzao standing on the roof and sitting on her knees, she was taken aback.

Sima Wende, who was sitting next to her, hurriedly said to her: "Auntie, don't panic, it was this Mr. Chen who saved you and me!"

Chen Fangzao threw the clothes he was holding at Sima Wende and said, "Change it!"

Then he glanced at Sima Ruolan and said, "There are two sets in total, one set for you and Her Royal Highness the Princess." ”

Sima Wende took the clothes in his hand, looked at them a few times and said, "Mr. Chen, isn't this a eunuch costume?"

Chen Fangzao glanced at Sima Wende, and said angrily: "What's the matter, still thinking about wearing a dragon robe?"

Sima Wende shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Sima Wende is dead, this dragon robe is naturally unwearable, it's just ......"

After waking up, Sima Ruolan had already learned from Sima Wende what had happened.

Thinking of the tragic death of the Queen Mother, she cried quietly for a while before she stopped her tears, and Chen Fang had already returned.

Chen Fangzao opened the oil paper bag in his hand, handed it to the two of them and said, "It's just what? The most in this palace are eunuchs, and the waist card is wrapped in clothes, you can think of it, I have already thought of it." ”

Sima Wende nodded and said, "It's still Mr. Chen who thinks about it thoroughly." ”

Then he took the oiled paper bag from Chen Fangzao's hand, picked up a piece of pastry from it, handed it to Sima Ruolan and said, "Auntie, you can eat something first!"

Sima Ruolan waved her hand, sighed and said, "De'er, you can eat, my aunt can't eat it!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Chen Fangzao and said, "Ruolan Xie Mr. Chen's rescue!"

Chen Fangzao scratched his head, twisted his face to the side, and said a little unnaturally: "There's nothing to thank, I'm just acting on orders, don't hate me for knocking you out, I'll burn high incense, thank you, you better go and thank my master!"

Then he muttered in his heart, there is also a little junior brother.

Chen Fangzao had to admit that Sima Ruolan's face was indeed worthy of the words "alluring the country and the city".

Rao is that he has no interest in women on weekdays, but when Sima Ruolan looks at him like this, he even feels a little hot on his face.

He knew it wasn't because of liking or admiration.

Maybe it's because I have too little contact with women.

Chen Fang thought about it for a while, except for the third senior sister who grew up together since childhood, he really didn't seem to have dealt with women much.

And Han Hanmei, in Chen Fangzao's eyes, is no different from the senior brother and the second senior brother.

Sima Ruolan chuckled lightly and said softly: "The national teacher naturally wants to thank you, but Mr. Chen's rescue grace, Ruolan and De'er also dare not forget!"

Sima Wende, who was eating the pastry first, swallowed the pastry in his mouth and said, "Yes, yes!"

A hiccup followed.

This pastry is a little dry, and when he eats pastries in the past, he usually has to accompany them with a cup of tea.

It's not that Sima Wende has a big heart, but after this tossing and fright, he also spent a lot of energy, and his stomach naturally felt empty.

As for what to eat, he can't be picky anymore.

In fact, Sima Wende didn't know that this inconspicuous pastry in his hand was just a good thing that many people couldn't eat in their lifetime.

Seeing that Sima Wende choked enough, Chen Fangzao untied a water bladder from his body, did not turn his head, just stretched his arm back and said: "This is water, you two are surnamed Sima, don't pay attention to it so much, there are not so many water bladders, you two share one!"

Sima Wende took the water bladder, handed it to Sima Ruolan first, and said, "Auntie, since you don't want to eat, let's drink some water first." Listen to my nephew, I have to eat something for a while, after all, we are still in this palace, save more strength, and save Mr. Chen's hind legs!"

After being exposed to the sun on the roof for a long time, Sima Ruolan was indeed very thirsty.

She pursed her dry lips, took the water bladder from Sima Wende's hand, covered the mouth of the water bladder with her right hand, padd the spout with her right hand, and gently supported the bottom of the water bladder with her left hand, slowly rising up.

After taking a few sips, Sima Ruolan wiped her lips with the back of her hand, handed the water bladder to Sima Wende and said, "De'er, you can also drink a few sips!"

Sima Wende said "um", took the water bladder, swallowed the food in his mouth, and then wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve, originally wanted to learn Sima Ruolan's way to drink a few sips, but after thinking for a while, he still raised the water bladder, raised his head and slowly poured a few sips into his mouth.

Seeing this, Sima Ruolan chuckled, picked up a piece of pastry from the oiled paper bag, and ate it slowly.

Chen Fangzao saw that the two of them were squirming like this when they drank water, and they didn't think so, they were all a family, what did they care about?

I think that even the third senior sister's water cup was used indiscriminately.

Of course, it was before the third senior sister married the second senior brother.

With nothing to do at the moment, Chen Fangzao lay on the roof, his head resting on his arm, half supporting his leg and his right leg, squinting his eyes and saying, "You two have finished eating, change your clothes, and then rest on this roof for a while, why don't we have to wait until after dark before we can leave." ”

After speaking, he reached out and fanned the smoke drifting over, and tilted his head in the other direction.

He was lying on one side of the roof, and Sima Wende and Sima Ruolan were lying on the other side.

Sima Wende, who had eaten two pieces of pastry, had already put on his clothes, but fortunately, his middle coat, which had been soaked in water, had been half dry, and he no longer had to endure the difficulty of wetting his clothes.

After taking off the crown on his head and putting on the crown of eunuchs, Sima Wende looked at the crown in his hand and lost his mind.

Although he often said that he didn't do this emperor, when this day came, he knew that it was actually difficult to be reluctant.

With a deep sigh, he placed the crown on the glazed tiles, and then clutched the piece of the waist card wrapped in his clothes tightly in his hand.

It's not the crown that can save his life now.

After eating a piece of pastry, Sima Ruolan clapped her hands lightly, picked up the eunuch costume she should have put on, and was a little at a loss.

Sima Wende turned his head and looked at Chen Fangzao.

Chen Fangzao, who closed his eyes slightly, snorted lightly and said, "My eyelids are still quite thick, and they shouldn't be transparent." ”

After speaking, he turned around and left the two of them with a back.

And the direction in which Chen Fangzao's face was rushing was the direction where the smoke was drifting from.

Sima Wende also turned his back, blocked between Chen Fangzao and Sima Ruolan, and said in a low voice: "Auntie, you can change here, you wear this long skirt, it is not very convenient to run later!"

Sima Ruolan let out a light "um".

At this time, Chen Fangzao took out another thing from his arms, raised it behind him and said, "There is a wooden comb here, I thought that His Highness should be able to use it, so I touched it." ”

Sima Wende chuckled, took it into his hand, and handed it to Sima Ruolan.

Chen Fangzao continued: "If Your Highness doesn't know how to comb a man's hair, I can help you after you finish changing your clothes." ”

Sima Ruolan said in a low voice: "Mr. Chen has a heart, Ruolan will." ”

Chen Fang stopped talking, and after a while, there was a rustling sound of changing clothes behind him.

Chen Fangzao rubbed his face and whispered to Sima Wende: "Your Majesty, you and Her Royal Highness the princess will not have this identity in the future, so what do you think about this name?"

Sima Wende glanced at the crown, sighed lightly and said, "I can't even keep my surname, what's the use of me living like this?"

Chen Fangzao said slightly angrily: "What bullshit, isn't your surname Sima, your son is not your Sima family's species?"

Sima Wende knew that Chen Fang had long been for his own good, and since he chose to live, no matter what way he lived, it was better than nothing.

After thinking about it, he said: "After all, we can't forget our ancestors, I ......"

A little embarrassed to smile, he continued, "I'd better change my surname to Si!"

After thinking for a while, he continued: "As for this name, my original name was Wende, if I continue to call Wende, it will inevitably make people suspicious. ”

"Division?"

The corners of Chen Fangzao's mouth raised, and then he said: "It's just a name, since you think it's good, then call Si Go." ”

Chen Fang didn't think the name "Si Qu" was a good name.

It sounds like "dead", but it's not a good name.

Chen Fangzao felt that his name was good.

Compared to the second senior brother's Guo Yikou, it sounds much better.

When he was young, he was more stubborn, and he always liked to call the second senior brother "a pot", and he also gave the third senior sister a nickname, called "Han Han Sister". ”

As for the elder brother, he didn't dare to give him a nickname.

As for the little junior brother, he also gave him a nickname, "Doctor Crying".

Not to be outdone, the third senior sister and the second senior brother also gave him a nickname, called "Fangcao".

Every time they called him "Yerba Cao", they both liked to stick two thatches on his head.

He pulled the grass off his head angrily, stuck his waist and said angrily, "See if I don't tell the senior brother."

Later, the senior brother calmly asked him, why didn't he think of a nickname for himself? Do you think that the senior brother is not as good as the second senior brother and the third senior sister?

Since he was a child, he has admired his elder brother Chen Fangzao shook his head again and again, and finally stubbornly held back the nickname of "Qin Mutou".

In fact, this nickname was heard by him from the third senior sister.

The senior brother really didn't reprimand him, but told him with a smile to go and copy the book "Book of Rites".

Even though he was not happy in his heart, he still grabbed the pen and copied the book.

"Die?"

After silently chanting twice in his heart, the corners of Chen Fangzao's mouth raised, and then asked, "What about Her Royal Highness the Princess?"

Sima Ruolan, who had already changed her clothes, turned red, and changed her clothes in front of the man, although she was wearing obscene clothes inside, it was rude after all.

Holding a wooden comb and combing her hair, she heard Chen Fangzao's question, she thought about it and said: "This palace has liked orchids since childhood, and it is even named after Ruolan, so it is better to change the name to orchid, as for the surname, since De'er takes the word 'Si' as the surname, then I will take 'Ma' as the surname." ”

Then he added: "Mr. Chen, De'er, I have already changed, you can turn around." ”

Sima Wende turned around to look at Sima Ruolan who was wearing eunuch clothes, looked at her carefully and said, "Auntie, this dress is a little fat. ”

Sima Ruolan's face was slightly red, and she glanced at Chen Fangzao and said in a low voice: "It's okay, it's quite suitable, Mr. Chen is thoughtful, you, you have to learn more from Mr. Chen in the future." ”

Clothes that fit too well, with her figure, are naturally going to be seen strangely.

Chen Fangzao said casually: "I didn't think much about it, I just took two clothes that looked similar." ”

Proficient in detection and disguise, he naturally knew the difference between men and women, and the princess could not wrap that place tightly with a cloth, so he had to choose a wide dress for her to wear.

It is far easier for eunuchs to go out of the palace to do errands than palace maids.

Sima Ruolan chuckled lightly and said to Chen Fangzao: "Ma Lanhua thanked Mr. Chen!"

"Ma Lanhua, the name is good, but it sounds a little less extravagant. ”

Chen Fangzao tilted his head and looked at Sima Wende and said, "What does your name Si Qu have to do with Ma Lanhua?"

Sima Wende, who has changed his name to Si Qu, pondered for a moment and said: "I'm afraid that I won't be able to match my aunt and nephew in the future, why don't I call my aunt aunt, what does Mr. Chen think?"

Chen Fangzao nodded and said, "Yes!"

After speaking, he looked at Sima Ruolan, who had combed his hair in a bun, and said: "Orchid, look at your face, I should be a few years older than you, and you don't have to always call me Mr. Chen when you go with Si, if you let the senior brother hear it, you should laugh at me." ”

After thinking about it, he said: "That's it, after leaving the palace, I will be your coachman, and the two of you can call me Lao Chen, in addition, the nobility on your body has to be dispersed, especially Si Go, don't make a gesture or the power of the emperor." ”

Si Qu nodded and said, "I understand!"

Chen Fang looked at the Queen Mother's dormitory, shook his head and said, "You two should rest first, and after dark, we will find a way to leave!"

————————————

Niu Dan Dan went to the imperial dining room first.

Everyone in the imperial dining room knows this father-in-law who is in full swing.

In fact, Niu Dan Dan is still the same Niu Dandan, but in the eyes of others, he is no longer the Dan father.

The red man in front of His Majesty the Emperor, that's okay.

Every day when he goes to the imperial dining room to choose dishes for His Majesty the Emperor, there is no need to say anything, someone will first present him with a pair of silver chopsticks, and let him try to guess first.

Niu Dan didn't want to try it, but his stomach and tongue wouldn't let him.

In fact, every time His Majesty asked him to eat together, but the dishes His Majesty liked to eat were too light, and he could neither eat enough nor satisfy his hunger.

He reluctantly accepted the invitation to try the dishes in the imperial dining room.

Niu Dan Dan knows the rules of tasting dishes, and also knows the reason for leaving a stutter for others.

So he only eats one bite of each dish, and when he meets someone he likes, he eats one more.

The next time he tried the dish, the dish he had eaten one more bite of would appear in front of his eyes again.

After eating a round stomach in the imperial dining room, Niu Dan Dan ordered him to go down and make a few meat dishes, and he wanted to take them away.

Several imperial chefs looked at each other and smiled, and then they began to get busy.

It seems that this father-in-law is going to satisfy his hunger.

Tiger skin elbow, spiced roast chicken, sweet and sour tenderloin, and a grilled bear's paw.

The imperial chef who made the bear's paw whispered to Niu Dandan: "Father-in-law, I burned a total of two bear's paws, to be honest, I have been an imperial chef for so many years, and I have only tasted it, but I have never really eaten it, and several other old guys have never even tasted it, you see?"

Niu Dandan scratched his head and said: "This bear's paw, two are better than one, but Your Majesty can only eat one, and the other one will be rewarded to the imperial chefs in the imperial dining room!"

Anyway, it's nonsense, why don't you say it?

The imperial chef smiled and thanked him in a low voice, and then asked, "This dish is all cooked, where are you going to send it?"

Niu Dandan took out the waist card given to him by the palace man from his arms, and whispered, "Understood?"

When the man looked at it, he said with a grim expression: "The little one understands, no wonder the father-in-law is so deeply favored by the emperor, it turns out that there are nobles to help him." ”

Niu Dan stood up, patted his butt and said, "Don't forget to bring two jugs of good wine!"

The man nodded and said, "Little one understands!"

Niu Dandan took two steps out, then turned around again, lowered his voice and said: "Remember, just send it over, don't say anything, don't ask anything, remember?"

The imperial chef nodded again and again: "Father-in-law, please rest assured, we have been in the palace for so many years, and we understand these rules." ”

Niu Dan nodded, and walked out of the imperial dining room with his hands behind his back.

——————————

Cao Ning took the wooden box in his hand, opened the box and looked at it, and hurriedly knelt on the ground and lifted the box in his hand over the top.

Yuan Shixin smiled: "Take it out and see if it's true!"

Cao Ning shook his head and said, "The last general won't dare!"

Yuan Shixin looked at Zhao Yu and said: "It's better for Zhao Xiang to identify the authenticity, you have been in the court for many years, and whether this jade seal is true or false, it can't be hidden from your eyes." ”

Zhao Li was also taken aback, when he came, he glanced at the box, but he didn't guess that the box actually contained this thing.

Although Yuan Shixin mentioned to him the intention of being the emperor, where would he have thought that Yuan Shixin was already coming to this point.

He stood up in surprise and glanced at Yuan Shixin.

Yuan Shixin nodded and said, "It's okay, you can pick it up and take a look!"

Zhao Li didn't speak, just saluted Yuan Shixin, and then walked up to Cao Ning and picked up the box from his hand.

Cao Ning stood up.

Zhao Li walked to the table, carefully put down the box in his hand, took out the heirloom jade seal, looked at the bottom, and then looked at the seal, and then put it back in the box, closed the lid, and knelt in front of Yuan Shixin.

Yuan Shixin took a few steps forward, picked up Zhao Li, turned his head to look at Cao Ning and asked, "How?"

Cao Ning bowed his head and said, "The ministers should support His Majesty's accession to the throne." ”

Zhao Li hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, since the jade seal of the country is in your hands, then the one in the palace, Your Majesty, Zhao Li has no other meaning, but is afraid that Your Majesty will follow in the footsteps of the new emperor of the previous dynasty." ”

The corners of Yuan Shixin's mouth raised slightly, looked at Cao Ning and said, "General Cao, you came to tell Zhao Xiang, where did the one in the palace go?"

Cao Ning took a deep breath, looked at Zhao Yu and said: "The Queen Mother's bedroom suddenly caught fire, and Emperor Wende and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess were trapped in the Queen Mother's bedroom, and finally died in the sea of fire!"

Will there be a fire in the palace?

Zhao Li sneered in his heart, I am afraid that this matter was done by the person in front of him.

A fire that has lost Sima's people is a good strategy.

Yuan Shixin said with a regretful look on his face: "Zhao Xiang doesn't know, this palace is not as good as a day, those things without roots, they can't do anything, there was a fire in the palace before, how long has it been?"

Then he sighed again and said: "There is a way that the country cannot be without a king for a day, the first emperor did not leave any heirs, and the national teacher suddenly left, and all the burden fell on my Yuan Shixin." ”

He glanced at Cao Ning, turned around with his hands behind his back, slowly walked back to his seat, and said to Cao Ning and Zhao Li, who were standing, "You two sit down!"

Zhao Li glanced at the jade seal on the table, picked it up with both hands, bowed down to the table in front of Yuan Shixin, and then sat down on his left hand.

Cao Ning sat on Yuan Shixin's right hand.

Yuan Shixin chuckled and said: "At the moment, the old man is not called the emperor, and the two of you call the old man Your Majesty, which makes the old man embarrassed!"

Zhao Yu got up and said, "Your Majesty, this is the will of the people, we are just taking advantage of the trend!"

Cao Ning didn't speak.

Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "Many ministers in the court also sent people to send the old man to the folds, all of which were bitter words to persuade the old man to ascend the throne. ”

Then he looked at Cao Ning and said, "General Cao should have seen those people in front of the Prime Minister's Mansion when he came!"

Cao Ning nodded and said, "I saw it, but it was also ......."

Yuan Shixin nodded and said: "Yes, but why didn't the old man see him? How should I see it? This is to tell the people of the world that it was all planned by me Yuan Shixin, and there was just a fire in this palace, that is, a group of ministers surrounded the Prime Minister's Mansion, and then a document came out, and the old man was supported as the new king by this group of people?"

Then he slapped the table and scolded: "A group of things that don't have long brains, do you really think you can understand everything after reading a few broken books?"

After picking up the teacup and taking a sip of tea, Yuan Shixin looked at Cao Ning and said, "General Cao, the reason why you haven't moved for a long time is that you have been waiting for your arrival. ”

Cao Ning got up and saluted: "It's Cao Ning who is late!"

Yuan Shixin shook his head and said, "No, if you come early, the old man won't be able to believe you Cao Ning." ”

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Cao Ning, the old man asks you again, are you willing to be loyal to me?"

Cao Ning knelt down on one knee and said: "The last general is willing to go to the soup for the king, and he will not give up!"

Yuan Shixin asked, "Why?"

Cao Ning said in a deep voice: "The duty of the minister is to protect this Luoyue City and protect the palace, whoever is the master here, the minister will swear allegiance to whom!"

Yuan Shixin asked again, "What do you say about that fire?"

Cao Ning raised his head and said: "There is an accident, Cao Ning is guilty, and he is willing to accept the punishment." ”

Yuan Shixin was silent for a moment and asked, "The reason why you chose this way is what he meant, right?"

Cao Ning was silent.

Yuan Shixin chuckled and said: "If you don't say it, that's it, he is worthy of being a national teacher, everything is under his control." ”

Then he looked at Cao Ning and asked, "Cao Ning, let me ask you, if you want to find his whereabouts, do you have a way?"

Cao Ning shook his head, was silent for a moment and said: "There is no way, the minister dares to say something that is not acceptable, right now Mr. Huo is in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if he doesn't want to show up, no one will be able to find him." ”

Yuan Shixin's eyes shrank, and he asked slowly, "Is this what he said?"

Cao Ning shook his head.

Yuan Shixin breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid.

Yuan Shixin turned his head to look at Zhao Yu and said: "In this way, in three days, it will be the enthronement ceremony of the old man, Zhao Xiang, those ministers in the court, you will arrange it!"

Zhao Li stood up and saluted: "Obey the holy order!"

Yuan Shixin looked at Cao Ning again and said, "Cao Ning, I have entrusted the safety of Luoyue City to you, do you dare to take the order?"

Cao Ning saluted and said, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty!"

Yuan Shixin nodded.

At this time, Zhao Yu asked, "Your Majesty, I don't know if you have thought about the country name?"

Yuan Shixin's eyes widened slightly, and he opened his mouth to say one word,

"Song!"
