Chapter 43: Night Talk

Guard Hu then walked out of the house, stood in the position of night watch outside the house, looked at Li Zifeng who was still hesitating, there seemed to be a faint gloom between his eyebrows, and said slowly, "My master has spoken, no one has ever dared to disobey, the son must not delay, so he will wait." ”

Li Zifeng looked at Hu Li, who stood up straight, coldly scanning everything in the courtyard, as if he hadn't said anything just now. Then he straightened his clothes and slowly stepped into the room.

From the outside of the house to the inside of the house, the heat emitted by the fire comes to the face, relieving the cold of the whole body from the inside out. At this time, Zhu Xing was half-leaning on the edge of the bed, holding a scroll and looking at it idly, and Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Li Zifeng standing nervously by the door, smiling deeply, "I'm old, my eyes are not good." ”

Li Zifeng understood, and immediately walked to the copper candlestick next to the bed, and carefully cut off the charred wick, but in an instant, it was much brighter. Zhu Xing put down the scroll, raised his eyes and saw that Li Zifeng had retreated to the side and waited, bowed his head slightly, and couldn't help but smile, "Look at you seem to be very nervous, am I so terrible?"

After hearing this, Li Zifeng took half a step back, landed on his knees with his shirt folded, and controlled his gaze just right in the position below Zhu Xing's line of sight, "You are powerful in the world, you are in charge of the life and death of the four seas, and the fate of all the people." Zifeng is just a civilian, so he is naturally full of awe of you. ”

Zhu Xing stared at Li Zifeng for a long time with half-squinted eyes, and an unpredictable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Listening to what you mean, it seems that I have already seen through my identity." ”

"Yes. Li Zifeng straightened up, and his tone was steady, "I was just guessing when I was in Ning Xiao Yang Hall today. But the master said that you are the owner of Zhujiazhuang, and Zifeng didn't dare to think about him anymore. ”

Zhu Xing also straightened up and sat on the edge of the bed, "Why don't you ask me when I arrived here, and what did I say to your master during the time I kept you waiting?"

"What should be known, Zifeng will understand, and if he shouldn't know, Zifeng will not talk much. ”

"You're a rule-go-sensitive. Zhu Xing smiled deeply and beckoned to Li Zifeng, "Come close." ”

Li Zifeng walked a few steps to Zhu Xing, and under Zhu Xing's signal, he cautiously looked up at the person sitting on the edge of the bed, at this time Zhu Xing's eyes were gentle, the faint wrinkles on his face were looming, and his gray beard hung neatly, if it weren't for his identity in front of him, Li Zifeng would simply regard him as his father.

Zhu Xing also stared at Li Zifeng carefully at this time, his jet-black hair was simply tied on the top of his head, a pair of eyes under the sword eyebrows were clear and deep, and his angular face inadvertently exuded heroism and a bit of maturity.

"How old are you this year?"

Li Zifeng was stunned, so he might as well wish Xing You this question, "Back to Your Majesty, Zifeng is eighteen years old this year." ”

Zhu Xing couldn't help but wonder, "Don't be so nervous, since you didn't make it clear, you still treat me as a good master." ”

"Yes. ”

"Eighteen years old..."Zhu Xing groaned in a low voice, "Before he reached the age of the weak crown, he already had a burden on his shoulders beyond his age, assisting your master in handling the affairs of the sect so properly, thinking that the dog was only a year younger than you, and he was still so stubborn, I really don't want to worry about being a father!"

Li Zifeng sighed lightly and responded carefully, "You have worked hard for the sake of Childe everywhere, and Childe will definitely be able to feel it, so it must not take too long." You can relax."

Zhu Xing said helplessly, "Now not only are several of his brothers staring at his every move, but even the evil forces on the rivers and lakes are also ready to move, and the mountains and rain are about to come, and the wind is full of buildings!"

Li Zifeng asked tentatively, "Master Zhu is referring to the Lingye Palace?"

Zhu Xing sighed heavily, his eyes silently covered with the coldness of the decisive killing, "There is also the Hongyuan Villa mentioned in the afternoon, now the power of Hongyuan Villa is in full swing, and the activities of violating the rules in private are frequent, if you can find substantial evidence of collaborating with the enemy through the incident of Lingye Palace, you can uproot it." ”

Li Zifeng's chest suddenly became stuffy, his eyelids kept jumping, and his whole body was in a cold sweat from the inside out, and it took two breaths before he stabilized, "So now I can only investigate secretly and peel off the cocoon." ”

"Hmm. Zhu Xing nodded in acquiescence, not noticing Li Zifeng's abnormal reaction. The face returned to kindness, "Okay, let's not talk about this." It's not enough to worry about the dog right now. ”

"You can rest assured, the Hengshan faction will take care of your son and properly solve your worries. ”

Zhu Xing nodded with satisfaction, "I'll leave it to you, I'll rest assured." Well, it's hard work for you to chat with me. ”

Li Zifeng understood, and was about to get up and leave, but was pulled by Zhu Xing, "You don't have to go out, you will be in front of you tonight, and I will feel at ease." ”

......

Emperor Zhu Xingzhan's dormitory

In the dormitory, auspicious clouds and sandalwood are used as beams, white jade bricks are paved with gold edges, jade palm lamps, and delicate carved mahogany doors are integrated with the pouring down crystal curtains, separating the outer hall from the inner room. At this time, several concubines of good deeds rarely gathered here in harmony and looked inward together. The chief eunuch in charge of the guard, Father-in-law He Sheng, was anxious.

A concubine stepped forward, she was dressed in a lilac mopping gown, her head was tied in a complicated bun, and there were golden hairpins and jade in her bun, and her face was only twenty-four or five. ”

He Sheng looked at the concubine at the head, his brows frowned slightly, but his face was polite and polite, and his voice was sharp and gentle, "Wan Meiren laughed, Your Majesty ordered that you should retreat for half a month, and no one should disturb you except the queen mother." Slaves and maids are ordered to do things, and they dare not disobey in the slightest. ”

At this time, a slightly mature concubine dressed in a dark blue satin robe followed closely and said with a smile, "Wanmei is young and ignorant, and I hope Gonggong He will forgive me." It's just that His Majesty has been in retreat for a long time, and this palace is really worried. Gonggong He, if not, the palace will go in and take a look, and when he sees that His Majesty is fine, he will come out immediately. "Then let's go inside.

"The slave dared to ask Concubine Yu Shu to stay. He Sheng did not show weakness and resolutely blocked the door, "Your Majesty has a will, and no one can disobey it." ”

The other concubines behind him began to talk about it, saying that He Sheng didn't understand the rules and was disobedient, but He Sheng was resolute and didn't let these concubines take another step forward. Concubine Yu Shufei also took off her disguise, picked up her mother's shelf and reprimanded, "Father-in-law He is not sensible, how can you stop this palace as a father-in-law." ”

"That is, if His Majesty is in retreat, then Hu Lihu's guards should also show up, could it be that he is also in retreat?"

“......”

During the stalemate, the crystal gauze curtain was lifted, and a person walked out slowly, she was wearing a yellow satin gown, embroidered with a delicate phoenix, a yellow flower smoke phoenix tail skirt, and a yellow embroidered yarn. The high bun is uprightly decorated with a phoenix golden hairpin, graceful and luxurious, and the complexion is majestic and dignified.

When everyone saw it, they all knelt down and saluted, "Meet the queen." ”

This person is Wan Xintong, the empress of the emperor Zhu Xingzhan of the current dynasty.

Wan Xintong swept everyone lightly, with a sullen face, "What kind of body is it to make noise in front of His Majesty's bedroom in the middle of the night?!"

Concubine Yu Shu said unwillingly, "The queen mother forgives her sins, and the concubine is just worried about His Majesty's dragon body, so this is ......."

"Your Majesty has been in retreat for half a month, and no one is seen except the main palace, if you disturb the holy car, can you afford it? ”

The concubines' faces turned pale, and they kowtowed again and again, "The concubines don't dare." ”

Wan Xintong waved his sleeves, "Let's all step down!"

"The concubine retires!"

Silence returned to the dormitory, Wan Xintong and He Sheng glanced at each other, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

The morning bell rings, the birds flutter their wings and make a crisp call, and the morning light shines through the thin mist in the sky, sprinkling a faint morning light. Li Zifeng took the hot water handed by the waiter, and waited for Zhu Xing to change clothes and wash, Zhu Xing stretched his body slightly, and said with a smile, "Let you, the chief disciple, be on duty closely, and wait for me to get up." I've really wronged you. ”

Li Zifeng moved his sore limbs without a trace, and his face did not show the slightest tiredness, "It's Zifeng's luck to be able to talk to you at night, why should I be wronged?"

"Definitely. I had a great chat with you last night. How about I make you a wish?"

Li Zifeng was stunned, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty is serious." No merit, Zifeng really doesn't dare..."

Zhu Xing, it should be Zhu Xingzhan at this time. Zhu Xingzhan smiled and wisped his beard, "Yu Gong, you saved the prince, assisted me in recovering the stolen jade antiques, and you worked hard to talk to me in private, so whether it is public or private, I should reward you." You might as well make a wish, maybe it will help you a lot in the future. ”

"That Zi Feng is respectful and obedient, but your reward is too sudden, and Zi Feng hasn't thought about this wish for a while, so... Can Zifeng dare to ask His Majesty to be forgiving for a longer time? ”

"It doesn't matter, this wish is owed to you, and when you think about it one day, it's not too late to return. ”

Li Zifeng kowtowed deeply, "Your Majesty." ”
