Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Fifth

Wang Jiao went outside the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment, and the guards invited all the servants outside the hall to come in and report.After a while, a group of people rushed out from inside, not only Wang Xuanbin, but all the officials on duty that day from the Ministry of Punishment came out to welcome them.Zhao Changan had already got off the sedan chair at this time, and stood at the foot of the green stone steps. Before all the officials knelt down, he waved his hands: "Stop kowtowing." On the contrary, he was a virtuous corporal. In the cold weather, he didn't want Wang Xuanbin and other officials with a big gray beard to kneel down and toss about on the hard cold ground.But all the officials didn't dare to accept this kindness, they knelt down one after another, and paid homage in a disorderly manner.In terms of title only, Wang Xuanbin's status is slightly higher than that of Zhao Changan.But who would dare to treat anyone who is a little winking at the Chinese military officials in North Korea and Chinese only as a prince?

Wang Xuanbin signed his body sideways and welcomed him into the hall of the Ministry of Punishment.Zhao Chang'an was not polite, he took the first seat, and when all the officials were seated, Fang asked if all the seven criminals had been released.Wang Xuanbin sat on his side and bowed, he understood all the truths, and now he is being held in seven prisons including Tianzihai, Yin, and Jia, and twenty-eight of the most capable prison guards have been sent to guard him.In addition, He Wenhui, the former division of the Palace of the Forbidden Army, also sent 400 soldiers to jointly block all the access roads in the entire prison, and the seven of them could not escape.When Zhao Changan heard that he was so shrewd and capable, he secretly complained, but immediately showed a look of relief and satisfaction: "I heard that Mr. Wang is a well-known official who is dedicated to his duties, capable and sensible, and is well-known today. When I first saw it, I really deserved my reputation. These seven criminals dared to assassinate me in front of the imperial court. It is tolerable, but I can't bear it! Now that Mr. Wang has carefully arranged and planned well, they will not let them escape, so I can rest assured. I don’t know what day is the date for the joint trial of the three courts?”

Wang Xuanbin was praised by him, and his face glowed golden: "The imperial edict was sent along with the seven criminals. The date of the joint trial, the emperor has set is four days later, the ninth day of September. This joint trial, the emperor specially asked His Highness to preside over it. I can't wait." Praise from the side, all arrangements, ministers and others are subject to His Highness's decision." Zhao Changan telegraphed in his mind: "Arrangement? It won't be possible to talk about it for a while, and now I want to go and see the seven criminals first." Wang Xuanbin was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Your Highness, there is too much filth in there. , how could His Highness's golden body go to such a dirty place?"

"It's okay. I've been in Tokyo for so many years, and I've never been in a sky prison. Let's go today to broaden my horizons and gain some knowledge. Master Wang will go with me, how about it?" Wang Xuanbin was baffled by this whimsical order: Not only was the prison filthy and stinky, but he had never been inside even after he had been in the Ministry of Criminal Justice for three years.The nobleman has been rich and honored since he was a child, let alone looking at that kind of place, even if it smells like that, Xun will immediately blow him away, even if he is full of courage, he will never dare to let him in .He was always witty, and after a moment of pondering, he had a countermeasure: "Your Highness, it's too crowded in there, Your Highness sit down first, Rong Chen escorts the seven criminals to the signing room outside the prison, and then let His Highness have a look? "

"Oh?" Zhao Changan looked sideways and smiled, "Master Wang will not let me go no matter what, could it be..." Wang Xuanbin could only sigh silently in his heart: "Your Highness, I don't know what offense you want to mention first?" Zhao Chang'an immediately said: "Put all seven people in one place, this will save me a lot of talking." Wang Xuanbin immediately ordered the Secretary of the Criminal Department to follow the order.After a cup of tea, I came to report that the seven criminals had all been taken to the largest cell, and the nobles and other lords could be arraigned.

So everyone went west in sedan chairs from the Ministry of Punishment, exited Nanxun Gate, turned left and right, and waited in a remote place that was rarely visited by people. After getting off the sedan chair, they entered a gate with a high bluestone wall and strict guards, and passed through two gates. The courtyard, several rows of signing rooms, and finally stopped in front of a wall made of blue and black stones.Zhao Changan raised his head and saw that the wall was more than ten feet high, with thorns and iron thorns planted on the top of the wall. He thought: So high, even a bird cannot fly in, let alone a person?

Wang Xuanbin handed an iron plate to the staff, and the staff handed the iron plate in through a small window on the iron gate, and after another half hour, the iron gate opened. When everyone went in, there were rows of forbidden soldiers inside, separated from left to right.Twenty steps further forward, there is another bluestone wall across the front, this wall is higher than the first one, and the door is also thicker and heavier.This time, except for Zhao Changan, Wang Xuanbin and several high-ranking officials, the rest were all stopped.Zhao Changan frowned: "Why don't you let them in?" He pointed at his guard.

Wang Xuanbin smiled apologetically: "Your Highness, according to the imperial court's law, the Heavenly Prison is where extremely rebellious and vicious criminals are detained. In order to prevent madmen from breaking into the prison and robbing people, there have always been restrictions on those who enter this gate." Zhao Chang'an laughed and said: "Haha , just keeping people from entering is not a good strategy. If there is such a desperate force rushing in, how can we prevent it?" "Your Highness is concerned. But..." Wang Xuanbin pointed to another high wall inside the door, "Please take a look, Your Highness." Following his fingers, Zhao Changan saw that the wall was three feet above the ground, and two doors opened. A row of small holes that are one foot square and well-arranged.He thought about it, he knew what was going on, but he still asked, "What is this?"

Wang Xuanbin replied: "These are arrow holes, and they are usually only used for surveillance, but if someone dares to charge in, then thousands of arrows will shoot out from these holes, hehe, when the time comes, those villains He didn't even meet the criminal who wanted to rob, so he died here first." Zhao Changan smiled, nodded his approval, and stepped into the arrow wall.The corridor was dark and musty, and the torches stuck on the stone wall were dim, reflecting everyone's faces in a pale blue color.A gust of cold wind blew, and the cold air immediately penetrated everyone's heart.If the officer hadn't been in front, the few officials behind Wang Xuanbin would have turned around and rushed out of the corridor, never to come in again for the rest of their lives.

After finally walking to the end, two huge iron gates blocked the way.The door was greasy and slippery, and even Wang Xuanbin felt dizzy when he raised his head, as if the door would fall down at any moment, smashing himself into a puddle of flesh.He couldn't help taking a few steps back, raised his robe sleeve and wiped the cold sweat that oozed from his forehead at some point: "Your Highness, this is the first gate of the Heavenly Prison!" Is it the first door?" "Yes. I heard from the servants that there are three doors to enter from here." "What do you call listening to the next person?"

Wang Xuanbin muttered: "It's true...the smell in this door is too bad. When I came to the office three years ago, I wanted to go in and have a look, but the smell... I had no choice but to go out." "Gah!" The cell door opened slowly, and immediately, a damp, moldy, and bloody smell squeezed out from the crack of the door. The smell was so strong and suffocating that Wang Xuanbin and several officials were immediately arrested. Excited to tears.Inside the door is another corridor, which is so deep that it cannot see its end. Zhao Changan raised his wide robe sleeve to cover his nose, reluctantly took a step, and stepped through the door, but Wang Xuanbin and the others hesitated and stood still.As soon as he entered the door, he immediately felt as if he had stepped on the ground and fell into a pile of carrion corpses, wanting to suffocate.He hurriedly turned around, rushed out of the corridor in one breath, and shot out the second arrow and the wall, and then let out a long sigh of relief. In just this moment, he only thought that he had gone to hell once.He smiled wryly at Wang Xuanbin who ran out after him, and ordered him to take the seven people to the signing room for trial.Wang Xuanbin breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, I obey the order!" The fence, as thick as a child's arm, was forged from fine steel, with 18 horizontal lines and 18 vertical lines welded into a huge iron cage.The seven criminals were locked in an iron cage with heavy handcuffs and ankle shackles, and on top of the shackles were iron chains thicker than your thumb. One end of the iron chain was connected to the iron cage.In this way, it would be very difficult for even his top masters to escape from the cage, not to mention that all the acupoints of the seven offenders' bodies were sealed. Therefore, when Zhao Changan said that he would interrogate alone, Wang Xuanbin immediately exited the signing room respectfully, closed the door with his own hands, and ordered all the officials and guards to retreat far away to the corridor, so that no sound could be heard from the signing room. place to wait. Even a fool who dared to plot to assassinate the most venerable and respected son of the Prince Chen, how many shocking secret histories of the palace would be hidden in it. good. Zhao Changan sat calmly.Seven beams of fierce and hateful gazes poked at him like sharp blades. If gazes could kill, he would have been killed countless times by now.He took a sip of tea slowly: "Assassination of royal family members is the fourth heinous crime-conspiracy and treason! According to the law, he will be executed immediately and the nine clans will be exterminated. If you don't spare your own lives, it's fine. But implicating their relatives, friends, old disciples, how can they bear it? How can they be at ease?" The handsome scribe sneered: "Bastard! Since we came here, we never planned to go back alive, so stop being so hypocritical." Zhao Changan glanced at him sideways: "Aren't you afraid? Do you think you are really the Seven Sages of Liyuan? Shangguan Qinghan, although your father and two younger sisters are dead, Gaotang's old mother is still here, not to mention the many relatives of your Shangguan family. Now you are seeking benevolence, but it's a pity...you have to bring the entire Shangguan family to be buried with you for your reckless trip today!" He glanced at the rest of the people, "Silver Spear King Gong Ergong, Yijian Pingnan Su Qinghe Great Xia Su, He Lingtian and Young Master of Zhengqi Zhuang," and glanced at the man wielding the long whip, "Luo Yingluo and the Sixth Heroes, Zeng Changfeng's Changtian Yijue whip technique has been passed down to you, it is indeed superb; and Wu Shouqian Manager Wu's double sabers and Zhao Jiren's and Zhao Shaoxia's double hooks' cultivation base, after experiencing it today, they are indeed well-deserved!" He explained the identities of the seven people in a few words. The seven people looked at each other in blank dismay.Before the assassination, the seven agreed: no matter whether the assassination was successful or not, if any of the seven were captured alive, no matter how tortured the government was to extract a confession, the identities of the seven would never be revealed to protect the safety of their families.But the seven of them did not expect that Zhao Chang'an would know the situation of the seven of them like the palm of their hands, and when they thought of their parents, beautiful wives and weak children, the seven of them could not help but change their faces and become confused. Zhao Chang'an looked coldly at the expressions of the seven people: "What, are you scared? But..." He frowned, "I know the reason for Mr. Shangguan's assassination, but why are the remaining six? Come to die?" The white-haired old man Gong Er scolded angrily: "Bah! You are not as good as shit, you don't know about the 'good things' you did?" Zhao Changan raised his eyebrows: "Hmph, the good things I did There are really too many, so many that I can’t even remember, what kind of good things, but you have to trouble everyone, and come to ‘thank’ me with so much thought and trouble?” Gong Er looked up to the sky and smiled, with tears in his eyes: "Your Highness, you really forget things. On the eighth day of last month, you killed eighty-nine members of my elder brother's family. In just a few days, you have already forgotten everything." ?” "Oh? What about you? Could it be that... your entire family was also killed by me?" Zhao Changan glanced sideways at the handsome young man. He Lingtian's eyes were red, and he cried every word: "My second sister, her name is He Yanrong!" Zhao Changan was expressionless, it was the first time he heard this name. He Ling's eyes were tearing apart, he didn't expect that "Zhao Chang'an" would have such an expression when he heard her name after he raped and killed his dearest second sister with extremely despicable and indecent means!He originally thought that after hearing his second sister's name, Zhao Chang'an would feel ashamed—wouldn't the villain be ashamed after his evil deeds were exposed?Or surprised, surprised that the relatives of the victim would seek revenge so quickly; even complacent, some perverted villains are indeed not ashamed of what they have done, but proud of themselves.But at this moment, Zhao Changan had calm eyes and a serene face, as if the death of the second sister had nothing to do with him.He Lingtian didn't want to say another word - what can you say to a beast? Zhao Changan sighed lazily, and said to the rest of us: "I remember, everyone's situation is the same as Mr. Gong and Mr. He Shaozhuang, right? Either a relative was killed by me, or there is a beautiful female family member. I..." wry smile, "wasted?" "No!" Luo Ying said, "Brother Su and I have no relatives killed or ruined by you!" "Is that for your sworn brothers or dead friends?" Su Qinghe sneered: "Hmph! My Four Seas will rule the world and deal with injustice. How can my Four Seas not care about a demon like you who kills innocents and abuses women and children?" Zhao Changan was startled: "Are you two sent by Ning Zhiyuan?" Luo Ying squinted at him: "Bah! If my young master sent us here, devil, you can still sit here now?" "Hmph!" Zhao Changan also sneered, "Ning really has this ability, I just need to see him, and I won't be able to live?" Su Qinghe cursed: "Evil thief! Good and evil will be rewarded, only the late and the early. Although you escaped by chance today, one day you will die under the sword of my young master." Zhao Changan leaned back: "Oh? Hearing what you two said, I really want to meet this unparalleled young master for a while, and I want to see how capable he is. Under him, the blood flowed for five steps immediately, and the corpse lay on the ground?" "Just wash your neck and wait, this day won't be too far away!" Zhao Changan still smiled: "Hehehe, I still have to wait for this day, but...the seven can't wait any longer." "Life and death have their own destiny. Today's matter is my destiny. Don't be too complacent with the surname Zhao." "Heaven's death? Mr. Shangguan, don't blame others, today's misfortune, if you pursue it, you have to blame the seven of you!" Seven people stared at each other. "The seven are called the seven sages of the Liyuan, and they are determined to be good at rhythm. Thinking of "Autumn Sound Fu", it is lamenting the sadness of autumn and the impermanence of life. The master of the palace sound is sad, and the Qingjiao is sad. Angry in your hands? Isn’t this a bit too far away from the sound of autumn? Mr. Shangguan’s xiao flute is still so-so, but since he is one of the seven sages, he should know that the seven music ensemble plays, and the qin is played by Zheng Sheng , why didn't wait for me to open my fingers, Xiao has already rushed to play?" Gongsheng and Qingjiao are the second of the five tones of the guqin, while lead playing and open fingers are the methods of playing the guqin.Only then did the seven of them suddenly realize: it turned out that the seven of them had already exposed their feet before they made a move.The seven of them were indeed not proficient in silk and bamboo, this time they sneaked into the palace, it was originally planned, as soon as Zhao Changan sat down on the qin bench with both hands on the qin, the seven of them would start immediately.Unexpectedly, the seven of them were making up their numbers, but Zhao Chang'an was a master of sound and rhythm. Not only was he wary of the seven of them immediately, but also the song "Fu of Autumn Sounds" soothed endlessly and soul-stirringly, causing the seven of them to be fascinated by the sound of the piano. , Forgot to do it.I didn't wake up until the music was over.But it's too late to do it now.The seven of them were dejected: after more than a month of hard work, they were completely vulnerable to an opponent like Zhao Chang'an! "However, I still have doubts. Even if the seven are really good at silk and bamboo, if there is no one in the court to support them, they will never get into the palace. This person is very skilled. Besides, I am good at playing the piano, so what about the seven knew?" The seven laughed: "You villain! You have been going around with us for a long time, isn't that why?" Gong Er sneered: "Not only do we know that you can play the piano, but we also know that you, a beast, love to help others in front of everyone." Come here for fun. So we ask you to play the piano, and you will definitely agree. You are so smart, you should be able to imagine it, why did we say, let you cut the weeds and eradicate the roots?" Zhao Changan looked at a dead leaf falling with the wind outside the window: "Ha, if you don't tell me, I don't know about that woman... who ordered you to assassinate me and provided you with all conveniences?" The seven of them were startled, and He Lingtian blurted out: "How do you know it's her?" "Who am I? With your little tricks, how can you hide it from me? This woman is also a member of the royal family, and her martial arts are also extremely high. Originally, she should do the assassination by herself, but because of I'm familiar with me, so I don't dare to show my face like this..." He said slowly and carefully, while carefully observing the seven people, only to see that the faces of the seven people were ashen as dead, and he also knew that his conjectures were not true. He got to the point, but he hesitated about how to word it next, for fear that he might make mistakes if he said too much.That's all!Today's harvest is not small, don't talk too much about Shunfeng Qi, wait a few days, rescue seven people, then they will be honest with each other. So he smiled lightly and said: "You are stubborn, but I have a lot of adults. As long as you keep quiet and obey the law after the interrogation, then I can agree with the seven of you first. The punishment you deserve is only limited to the seven of you." People, the crime is not as good as wives and children, and... anyway, you are all dead, I will be a good person to the end, and I will not cut you, and then I will kill you with a knife, how about it?" Ever since they were captured, the seven knew that they were bound to die, but when they thought of the torture of Cun Jie who died by Ling Chi, they all shuddered.So they all wanted to find an opportunity to commit suicide.If the jailers hadn't been under strict supervision, during the two hours of being captured, the seven of them would have died more than once or twice.Hearing what he said now, the seven of them were all aghast: In order to win the reputation of being lenient and benevolent, he also punished the Ming and Zheng Dian, so as to serve as an example to others, and on the condition that he did not use Ling Chi to torture, and did not hold his family members accountable, he exchanged the seven for himself. "Quiet and disciplined", "bow down to punishment".Forget it, for the safety of his family members, he even wanted seven of them to go up the mountain of swords and into the sea of ​​fire, and the seven of them gritted their teeth and admitted it, let alone just sticking their heads out with a knife? The seven people looked at each other, and they were in the same mind. Su Qinghe asked in a deep voice: "Zhao, do you count?" Zhao Changan raised his head, with a proud face: "Who am I? The dignified prince's son, in front of the emperor now The most famous person in the world, my words are respected as Junzhi, how can it not be counted?" "Then...how can you convince us that we kept our agreement with you, but you didn't go back on your word? Then go and harm our family?" "This is very easy to handle. Aren't you the Seven Sages of the Liyuan Garden? How can the Seven Sages of the Liyuan Garden have family members? Four days are enough for you to collude and weigh your confessions. When the trial comes, you Don't talk too much, let alone say more, in case you miss something. I will pretend to be a question, and you will make a gesture of pleading guilty. I will immediately order someone to inform you of the punishment. At that time, Wouldn't both parties be happy?" Gong Er gritted his teeth and smiled: "Everyone is happy? Haha, everyone is indeed happy!" Zhao Changan put down the teacup, left his seat, and Shi Shiran walked towards the door: "Let's take a rest, you seven. After four days, you and I will have a good show to sing, don't worry about it." Without strength, how can you play your respective roles well?" Seeing him coming out, Wang Xuanbin, who was watching from a distance, rushed to meet him, bowed and greeted him.Zhao Changan yawned lazily: "This group of thieves all look like men, but when I said that I would be executed, I was completely frightened and begged for my life. Hmph! Idiots are dreaming! How is it possible? However, in view of the fact that they have already repented, Mr. Wang should not put them in prison again. In my opinion, it is safe to do so now. One or two were smoked to death, I'm afraid..." Wang Xuanbin murmured repeatedly: "Yes, I obey the order. Anyway, they can't escape. I will immediately send four hundred more soldiers to surround this room. Even if the seven inmates put on wings, they can't fly out." Zhao Chang An was very satisfied: "My lord Wang is truly worthy of the name of a capable member. When this case is concluded, I would like to give a good account of your assistance in front of the imperial court." Wang Xuanbin was overjoyed, he quickly knelt down and kowtowed repeatedly: "Help me!" His Highness interrogating the seven criminals is originally the duty of the minister, so what merit can be said? As long as His Highness is satisfied, the minister will be more busy and tired, and he is willing to do so." Yan Heying had just settled down in Yongtai Palace, so she turned her mind to Zhao Changan's bedroom to have a look.She made excuses for this move, maybe, he would put the handed down jade badge somewhere there?But the real reason, even she herself can't explain clearly. So, she asked the maid standing beside her, where is Zhao Changan's bedroom?The court lady squatted down and saluted: "If you go back to the princess, His Highness will be placed in the Palace of Longevity." Pointing to a tall and majestic palace in the distance, "That's it." "Yeah." She stepped out of the hall, "It's so stuffy here, I'm going out for a stroll." Stopped six court ladies who wanted to follow, "Don't follow, I want to be alone and quiet." She slowly lowered the white marble stone After turning the corner of the hall, he was convinced that the ladies in the palace could no longer see him, so he rushed forward, turned left and right, and ran straight to the hall. When she got to the front of the hall, she raised her head and saw that the hall was nine wide and five deep, with double eaves and gable roof, green glazed tile roof, yellow tile trimming, a huge plaque on the door of the hall, and three black-bottomed stickers written on it. Gold characters: Hall of Eternal Life.A pair of couplets hang on the vermilion lacquered pillars on both sides of the gate: crape myrtle is ninefold, and Bishan is thousands of miles away.Qingfeng today, Mingyue's predecessor. Behind the main hall is a small hall with three couplets in a wide area and a gold-plated square roof. The whole group of buildings stands on a three-story white marble Xumi seat, surrounded by white marble guardrails.But what surprised her the most was that the whole hall was built on a vast and boundless lake, in which there were still a few broken lotus stalks, rustling in the cold autumn wind. On the lake, next to the main hall, there are three open pavilions, and five pavilions behind the pavilions, all square, with double eaves, and well-arranged front and back.At a glance, the entire building complex is extremely magnificent, majestic and majestic, and its momentum is not inferior to the Forbidden City. She hurried up the steps, and before reaching the gate of the palace, four eunuchs stepped forward to stop her.She had been prepared for a long time, and replied: "I am Princess Yongfu, His Royal Highness asked me to fetch something for him." Without stopping, she walked inside.The four eunuchs saw her attire, bearing, and she was so beautiful, and the palace had already passed on that a Yongfu princess was ordered to live in Yongtai Palace today, so they didn't dare to stop her and let her in. Entering the hall, one can smell a faint fragrance, but one can see that the inside is very spacious, divided into three halls: the front, the middle, and the back. The hall is supported by sixty golden nanmu pillars, surrounded by two giant pillars, it is difficult to fight against each other.Beams, columns, squares, and purlins are also made of golden silk nanmu, painted with red lacquer, and the materials used are exquisite.Such a grand hall does not even exist in the imperial city. At the front door of the front hall is a screen with ten gold lacquer screens written in Cao Zhi's "Ode to the God of Luo". In front of the screen is a golden nanmu throne.Yan Heying bypassed the golden lacquer screen and arrived at the nave, which is the pattern of a study. The west wall is full of golden nanmu frames, and the scrolls are piled up to the top of the hall.At the front of the bookshelf, slightly in the center, is a golden nanmu tooth-inlaid book case. In the middle of the case is Zhou Gengjunding, and on the left and right golden nanmu bookcases.Behind the case is the same golden nanmu inlaid chair, and behind the chair is a plain screen. On the hall wall facing the book case, there is Fan Kuan's "Snow Scenery and Cold Forest Picture".On the opposite wall is Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", and there are couplets in cursive script by Mi Fu on the left and right: holding the water and the moon in hand, there is a frosty sky outside the hall; Behind the Tisu screen is a double-sided landscape figure of golden silk nanmu. After passing the screen, there are several steps of white marble steps, and then we reach the apse, which is the bedroom where Zhao Changan returned to rest.Although the back hall is not as spacious and cold as the front and middle halls, there is only one bed, one couch, one desk, and one grand master's chair.As soon as Yan Heying entered the back hall, she was attracted by a picture hanging on the right wall. Firstly, it was because of the excellent writing of Feibai calligraphy on it, and secondly, because the content of this picture was exactly her favorite. Li Yishan's poem: The bamboo dock is clean and the water is clear, and lovesickness is separated from the heavy city.The autumn shade does not disperse, the frost flies late, and the withered lotus is left to listen to the sound of rain.A line of small characters at the end of the poem: On a rainy night on the seventh night of the seventh lunar month, thinking hard about the lotus shadow, lingering all night, unable to sleep. She flickered and fell into the chair: Tanabata?That was shortly after Gusu parted ways, he...would he really miss himself so much?Maybe, this "Lotus Shadow" is another woman's name?But she is also very clear that there is no such coincidence in the world!Looking at the small print for a long time, she couldn't help shedding tears: "If you... really have me in your heart, why do you still do those things?" "Bah! Shameless! What are you? Brother Chang'an will look up to you?" A voice said coldly.Yan Heying didn't realize that there were other people in the apse, she was startled, she hurriedly wiped her tears and turned her head.This time, Brother Yeluyan, who was hidden behind the veil, was taken aback: he was taken aback by her appearance. After she was startled, she was filled with jealousy, but her face immediately turned into a smile: "Huh? This sister, we seem to have met somewhere before?" The big eyes rolled flexibly, "Oh... little girl remembers Didn't my sister follow Zhao Changping? Why are you here again?" Yan Heying also recognized her, she was the Princess Yanxi that Zhao Changan brought back from Liao Kingdom. Brother Yeluyan has two small dimples on her face, which makes her smile so innocent: "Sister, you look so good-looking! You only tease my little sister to play with my sister, that kind of childish nonsense, sister You must not take it to heart, right?" Yan Heying is kind-hearted, less scheming, and the easiest to trust people's words.At this time, seeing her cute and cute, she couldn't help but smile: "I won't, sister, who are you from His Highness Zhao... You look good too!" Brother Yeluyan held her arm affectionately : "Sister, so you are also from here? Which palace are you from?" "Well... I'm not from here, but... the emperor ordered me to come, and now I'm temporarily staying in Yongtai Palace." "Hey, this is weird, why did that old guy call you here? Is there no place to live in the palace?" Yan Heying said without thinking, "No, it's His Highness, he..." Brother Yeluyan's smile became sweeter : "Oh... Let me tell you, no wonder, he must have seen my sister so pretty, so he begged the old guy to reward her to him." Being told her thoughts, Yan Heying couldn't help being sweet and sour, and her face turned red: "Sister, don't come to make fun of me, I... didn't want to come, but..." Brother Yeluyan's eyes flickered: "It's just that my sister really can't stand Chang'an. The elder brother's appearance is so, he said he couldn't come, but his feet followed him involuntarily. Don't want to come? Who will believe this? You look good, he is also handsome, hehe, Yi Little sister, look, he and sister, you," said here, eyes slanting, mouth corners tilted down, "truly a natural pair, a pair made by nature." Yan Heying became more and more ashamed, but her heart was sweet and sour. Bitter, hot and salty, full of five flavors, forced a smile and changed the topic: "Sister, which palace are you from? Why have I never heard of it before, there is a princess in this palace?" "Of course my sister won't hear about it, because I am not a princess, but... just like my sister, I was specially brought back by Brother Changan." When the word "specialized" was mentioned, Brother Yeluyan deliberately stopped For a moment, he glanced at his opponent. Yan Heying immediately seemed to have knocked over the bottle of vinegar, and the sour gas rushed straight to his forehead, and he felt hatred in his heart: You, you, he is your sworn father-killing enemy, he likes this woman, what does it matter to you?What are you so angry about?Want to return to think so, but the jealousy on his face is so obvious. Brother Yeluyan saw it in his eyes, and also laughed: "Sister, I am younger than my sister, but after all, it is an advanced palace, and the rules here are strict. From now on, I am afraid that you will call me sister." Stirring her heart, Yan Heying couldn't help but sullen her face: "Sister, sister? I never thought that I would have anything to do with your elder brother Chang'an. If you want to be the imperial concubine, just do it well and don't get involved with me!" Turn around and leave. "Hmph, stop! What do you think this is? You can come as soon as you say you want, and leave as soon as you want?" Yan Heying squinted sideways: "What? I am Princess Yongfu, how dare you stop me?" Brother Yeluyan smiled again: "My sister is the princess, how dare my younger sister stop me? But..." Her smile stopped, "Just now my sister said that she would not have any trouble with Brother Chang'an. After hearing this... the younger sister felt uneasy." Yan Heying became impatient: "Then how do you believe what I say?" "Hee hee, it's easy, little sister doesn't want my sister to swear, that's too vulgar, why not do it like this!" Brother Yeluyan pulled out a golden rope from his sleeve, "It's better... my little sister put it on my sister's neck. Wrap it around twice, tie it tight, then tie a knot, wait for the elder sister to 'sleep', and then the younger sister will throw the elder sister into the lake outside the window, so that the younger sister will believe what the older sister says." Yan Heying shivered: "How old are you, how can you be so vicious?" She seized her body and walked out, "Fish look for fish, shrimp look for shrimp, turtles love bastards, and only a person like him would like you." People!" A figure flashed in front of her eyes, and then her shoulders and ribs went numb, and she fell to the ground, "You...you little witch, how dare you bully me?" Brother Yeluyan swayed the golden rope with a smile: "Sister, why do you ask such stupid words when you look exquisite and clever? Do you dare, little sister, could it be that sister really can't see it?" Before he could finish speaking, the golden rope had wrapped around Yan Heying's neck.She tightened the rope tightly: Bastard, dare to compete with this princess for favor! Yan Heying only felt a chill in her neck, couldn't help closing her eyes, and felt a chill in her heart: Unexpectedly, she would die in the hands of his concubine! The overheard person scolded softly: "Oh! Let go!" Then there was a muffled "bang", followed by Brother Yeluyan's groan of pain mixed with shock and anger, and at the same time the golden rope was pulled away from his neck.She opened her eyes in surprise, and saw a girl with a bun in a light lotus-colored veil standing in front of her, while Brother Yeluyan had fallen on the couch by the window, but the golden silk rope was held in the hands of this palace lady.The palace lady in the lotus shirt flicked her gauze sleeves, and she had already unlocked her sealed acupoints: "Princess Yongfu, you are shocked..." "Baby maid!" Yeluyan raised his hand, and shot three silver needles towards the lady in lotus shirt. The lady in lotus shirt frowned, and with a flick of the golden rope, the silver needles fell to the ground. Before the surprise attack was successful, Brother Yeluyan had rushed over, clasped his hands together, and punched the opponent's chest fiercely.The lady in the lotus shirt crosses her left arm, swings her right hand obliquely, and slashes towards the opponent's right shoulder. This pose just counteracts the opponent's "Jade Girl Throwing Her Arms".Brother Yeluyan hurriedly jumped back three steps, and said softly, "Why do you know 'Jade Phoenix Palm'? You also know how to break this set of palms!" The exquisite moves in the "Jade Phoenix Palm" created by Empress Dowager Xiao.But the lady in lotus shirt seems to be very familiar with this set of palms, not only did Yeluyan's palms miss, but the opponent took advantage of the situation and retreated more than three zhang away. Realizing that he was invincible to the opponent, Brother Yeluyan was startled and angry, turned his hand over, and in his palm was a dagger that was shining brightly.The lady in the lotus shirt moved her footsteps lightly, swiped the golden rope up and down, swung forward, and threw back, all of the five swords were dispelled.She is also very familiar with the "Shuangfeng sword technique" stabbed by Brother Yeluyan! All of a sudden, Brother Yeluyan was terrified and had no fighting spirit: It seems that there is no bargain here today, alas, forget it, if the green hills are left, there is no fear of no firewood!Relying on the sharpness of her sword, she stabbed her opponent three times quickly, forcing her to retreat three steps in a row. Then, kicking her feet, she flew out of a window, her body swayed, and she arrived at a square pavilion in the lake: "My sister just came today, and I haven't had a good rest yet, so I won't bother you." Amidst the silver bell-like laughter, the person had already gone far away. The two girls were fighting, Yan Heying was dazzled and couldn't tell who was winning and who was losing, but seeing the "little witch" go through the window, she was at a disadvantage.She breathed a sigh of relief, turned around, and saw the palace lady in lotus shirt was bowing to her: "Slave servant, dare to ask, are you Miss Yan?" "You are..." She was quite surprised. "The servant girl's humble name is Jiang Xuefang, and I greet Miss Yan." "How do you know my surname is Yan? Have I met you before?" Jiang Xuefang lowered her head and lowered her eyes: "My servant has never seen Miss Yan, but I heard that His Highness misses Miss Yan very much, so when I saw her today, I knew that Miss Yan was the one who made His Highness hang around all night." Yan Heying was in a state of confusion, crying It came to the eye sockets, and he turned his head quickly: "You... have admitted the wrong person. There are strict rules in the palace, don't talk nonsense, and be careful of being punished. What are you wandering around all night, who is Miss Jiang talking about?" Jiang Xuefang was stunned for a long time, then sighed softly: "Yes, the princess is right to blame, it is the servant who is ignorant and admits the wrong person, please forgive the crime of presumptuousness of the servant." He was about to kneel down.Yan Heying quickly supported her: "Forget it, forget it, you didn't mean it, let alone if it wasn't for you just now..." "His Royal Highness returns to the palace!" The eunuch on duty outside the palace announced loudly.Yan Heying panicked immediately, and just ignored her, Jiang Xuefang pulled her to cover herself behind a pillar hanging from the gauze curtain, inspected it, and found no flaws, then moved to the steps of the back hall, and bowed her head to greet her. Zhao Changan came into the hall, and when he saw someone at first, he was not surprised: "Who is the girl? Why is she in my sleeping hall?" Hearing his voice, Yan Heying's whole body froze, and then heard the word "bedroom" , I feel even more sad: Could it be that Jiang Xuefang is also his concubine?In his confusion, he never thought that if Jiang Xuefang was his concubine, how could he not know her? Jiang Xuefang bowed her head and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, my servant Jiang Xuefang was newly recruited into the palace, and was sent here by imperial decree to serve His Highness. The emperor has appointed this servant as the female historian of the Palace of Longevity." The voice, Zhao Changan was startled unconsciously, a shadow of a person appeared in his heart, and he sighed secretly: It's all in the past, why do you still think about it?Can't help but look a little pale: "Oh, so you are Jiang Xuefang? How long have you been in the palace?" Jiang Xuefang bowed respectfully: "The servant entered the palace on the first day of this month..." Seeing him unbuttoning his clothes, he hurriedly followed, "The servant serves Your Highness Change clothes." Zhao Changan was shocked when he heard this, and almost blurted out: Ziqing!他侧目，见正为自己卸下朝服的江雪舫，虽亦是长眉人鬓，肌肤胜雪，柔发似绸，皓腕凝霜，但形容却与子青截然不同，且口音虽亦是令人心醉的吴侬软语，但子青的口音是姑苏，而江雪舫却是钱塘。他不禁又暗叹了口气，将眼光移开，朝服才褪下，就见江雪舫已从衣箱中取出一袭雨过天青丝袍，捧至自己面前。他心道：看不出她出身簪缨世家、高门绣户，居然也善解人意，竟不知从何得知，自己最喜欢的颜色便是青色？他一摆手：“你不懂宫里的规矩？这是下人的服色，我怎么能穿？” “奴婢……”江雪舫惶恐了。赵长安不忍：“无妨，不过以后小心就是了，拿那件象牙黄的来吧。” “是！”取来他要的丝袍，江雪舫左手提袍领，右手一捋，已拎住袖口，待他伸手。看着这一连串的动作，他心神激荡，直疑是子青又回来了，忙闭眼，定了定神，双手后撑，让她为自己套上袍褂，尚未回过神来，她已悄没声地绕到前面，白玉般的纤纤十指一举，已系好了他的衣带。 他如中魔咒，杵在当地：天！世上竟会有神情举止如此相像的人！他不禁苦笑，是不是老天嫌我受的折腾还不够？还要再派一个人来？他转头，不再看她：“你现去永泰宫，请今天新来的永福郡主去嘉年殿，陪王太后一同进膳。”向殿外走去，方上石阶，并不回头，“你既是新来的，不懂宫里的规矩也就罢了，但记住，以后未奉宣召，再不得擅入这后殿中来。”说时无意般眼风一扫晏荷影藏身的殿柱，“把这地上打扫干净了，不要什么东西都随手乱扔。”言毕出殿而去。
