Chapter 25 Twenty-fifth time to go crazy

The sound of silk and bamboo is charming and pleasing to the ear.In the Liuli Palace, singing and dancing are peaceful. Xihe was leaning on the white jade couch woven with gold silk, drinking the chilled 20-year-old wine, her eyes were lazy. On the dance floor, there was a young man in red dancing very well, compared to the Yingying and Yanyan around him, all of them served as a foil. Xihe took off the bead flower on her head and threw it at the young man. The young man turned over in the air and caught it steadily, his eyes flickered and said: "Thank you Madam for the reward." Xihe didn't say anything, just looked at him with a smile on her face, her brows and eyes were quite coquettish.Such blatant eye contact, completely ignoring the existence of others, and Zhao Yin on the side was not angry, seeing that Xi He's glass was empty, he helped her fill up the wine.

After playing like this until almost Xu time, the sound of hurried footsteps approaching from far away, a little eunuch hurriedly ran up the long steps, shouting as he ran: "Your Majesty, it's not good! Your Majesty, it's not good..." "Shut up! Where do you dare to yell?" The eunuch with him hurried over to reprimand him. The little eunuch fell to his knees, and when he got up again, tears were streaming down his face: "Reporting to the emperor, Qi Aohou and the envoys who visited the Cheng Kingdom were ambushed by Yi Fei, the defected prince of the Cheng Kingdom, when they returned to the city. Grandpa was shot by a poisoned arrow and died!"

"What did you say?" Xihe jumped up all of a sudden, and the food and wine on the table, which was dragged down by her long skirt, smashed on the ground like that. With her exclamation, the silk and bamboo stopped, the singing and dancing stopped, and the hall was completely silent. Zhao Yin glanced sideways at Xihe, and said unhurriedly: "Did you hear that? Say it again." The little eunuch cried: "Your Majesty, when Qi Ao Hou arrived back to the city, he was plotted against by the Third Prince Cheng. He was shot by a poisoned arrow and died! His slave Xue Cai is currently waiting outside the palace with his remains, asking to face the king. !"

Xihe rushed out immediately, she didn't wear shoes, her feet stepped on the broken pieces of porcelain on the ground, and she was cut with several bloody mouths, but she seemed to be running unconsciously, her long hair and skirt dangling , like a burning flame. —— Xue Cai, who was kneeling outside the door waiting, saw this scene first. And the next moment, the flame rushed in front of him, grabbed him by the collar, almost lifted him up, and hissed, "Where's Ji Ying? Where is he? Call him out! Call him come out--" Xue Cai's eyes fell to the ground beside him. Xi He followed his gaze and saw a box.She was stunned for a moment, then walked to the box, stopped, stared at the box, the expression on her face was fear, trepidation, doubt and hesitation, finally, she gritted her teeth, stretched out her hand and slammed the box open— —

That haunting, familiar face that could no longer be familiar was immediately presented in front of him. Ji Ying closed her eyes with a peaceful expression, as if she was just asleep. However, there is only one head. Xi He stared blankly at the head, stepped back one step, two steps, three steps, and fell to the ground with a slap. At this time, other people also came out of the colored glaze palace one after another, and they were all horrified when they saw the box. Only Zhao Yin looked at Ji Ying's head expressionlessly, raised his eyebrows, and said sharply, "Bold slave, how dare you dispose of Ji Qing's body like this?"

Xue Cai kowtowed to the ground, and said loudly: "Report to the emperor, the arrow in the master's hand is very poisonous, and all parts except the head have been rotten." Zhao Yin opened his mouth, with heartache in his eyes, and was about to say something, at that moment, a long laugh went straight to the clouds.Everyone turned their heads in horror, only to find that Mrs. Xihe was laughing. "Ma'am?" a palace maid cautiously probed. Xihe sat on the ground, looking up to the sky and laughing wildly. Everyone didn't know what she was laughing at, they were both confused and frightened.

A palace maid stepped forward and wanted to help her up, but she bit her arm hard. The palace maid uttered a scream and ran away crawling and rolling. Xi He continued to laugh: "Hahahahahaha..." Someone said in a small voice: "Madam... Madam seems to be a little bit wrong, go to the imperial physician to have a look?" But seeing Zhao Yin standing on the sidelines and not expressing his opinion, they had no choice but to act like a pillar if they dared to act without authorization. pestered. Xi He staggered to her feet while laughing, and ran back to Baohua Palace. Everyone had no choice but to follow her and rush into the hall.

The people who danced before were whispering in the middle of the dance floor because they didn't understand what happened and didn't get permission to leave. When they saw Mrs. Xihe came back, they just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when they saw her running crookedly in front of the boy in red. The young man was surprised and delighted, and just as a smile appeared on his face, he was pushed hard against the wall by Xihe the next moment. "Husband, husband... person?" Xihe started to take off his clothes with both hands. The palace people at the side turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Madam, no! Madam, stop, what are you going to do?"

Xi He turned a deaf ear to everything, took off the young man's red clothes vigorously, and stared blankly at the clothes for a long time, while the young man who was stripped of his coat also stood in a daze, not understanding what happened at all. He licked his dry lips and mumbled, "Ma'am? What's wrong with you?" Xihe turned her head and ran away again. The palace people had no choice but to continue to follow her. She rushed out of the palace, ran to the box, shook off the robe in her hand, wrapped it around her head, and said: "Not cold, not cold, Xiaohong, not cold. Xiaohong, Xiaohong... "

The two most common words in this world, uttered from her mouth, are indescribably lingering and entangled. Xue Cai was shocked, remembering what Ji Ying said to him in the cabin that day: "There is always someone who is different to you, so he will call you by a different name...Xiao Hong, That's my special name." little red... Although I always knew that Ji Ying had an unforgettable lover, but there was no fate; Although I know that the lover's nickname for Ji Ying is Xiaohong; However, when she heard and saw with her own ears that the lover was actually this person, Xue Cai still received a great shock. She retracted her hands into her sleeves and touched the finger pull that Ji Ying gave him before she died. His hands were burning fiercely, and for a while, his whole body became hot.

And Xihe didn't look at anyone, didn't pay attention to anyone, just surrounded the red clothes circle after circle, and said in a sleepy voice: "It's not cold anymore, is it? Xiaohong, I'll sing for you, once I sing, You won't be cold anymore." Then she began to sing. This is the first time Xue Cai heard Xi He's singing. This was also the first time that the palace people heard Xi He's singing. This was even the first time Zhaoyin heard Xihe's singing. For a long time, Mrs. Xihe, who was infatuated with money, only listened to people playing and singing. Therefore, even though everyone knew that she loved singing and dancing, they really didn't know that she herself could sing. She looked at Ji Ying's head intently, and sang very earnestly. The singing became clearer and brighter, like the wind blowing across the valley and pushing away thousands of layers of green waves; The mist slowly rising from the lake under the moonlit night; like the rippling yarn blown by the wind. She sings more beautifully than any instrument. In other words, her voice is already a wonderful instrument in the world. She sang— She sang it over and over again, and the singing lingered above the palace for a long time. Xue Cai chewed on the phrase "Ask the fairy couple to pick peony, and the three lives are related to this world", and couldn't help being a little crazy for a while.If there is no mistake, this song should be written by Ji Ying. What kind of mood did Ji Ying have when he wrote this song, and what kind of intimate way did he teach this song to him? Xihe, the feelings in it, I don't want to know. For a moment, everyone was shocked by this beautiful piece of music, and there was no sound. Only Zhao Yin, with hatred in his eyes, finally stepped forward and grabbed Xi He's hand, shouting: "Enough!" But Xihe pushed him away fiercely with his backhand, picked up the whole box, and retreated step by step: "You are not allowed to come here! You are going to take Xiaohong's clothes, you are going to freeze him to death, you are not allowed to come here!" Zhao Yin was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, quickly put down Qi Aohou's remains!" Xihe held the box tightly in her arms, and continued to back away: "This is mine, Xiaohong is mine, you can't snatch it from me!" "Come on!" Zhao Yin winked.Immediately, several guards stepped forward to snatch the box. Xihe struggled desperately, tearing and biting, but they didn't let go. The guards didn't dare to do anything to her. Zhao Yin was so angry that he scolded: "What are you eating? Catch her for me!" The guards said they were offended, they stepped forward and grabbed Xihe's arm, and fixed her for life, the other forcefully opened her fingers, only to hear a "click", Xihe's phalanx was broken. Zhao Yin's complexion suddenly changed, and he stomped his feet and said: "Stop! Stop! Stop! How dare you hurt her! Trash! Everything is trash!" The guards didn't grab the box and were reprimanded by the emperor for hurting Xihe, so they didn't dare to move again. When he was at his wit's end, a soft voice came out: "Your Majesty, let this concubine try." Zhao Yin turned around and saw Jiang Chenyu. Under the setting sun, Jiang Chenyu was wearing a light blue gauze dress, and her long black hair was combed smoothly behind her head. Although her face was tired, her eyes were bright and spotless, like a fairy that fell from the sky. when did she come backDoubts flashed through Zhao Yin's mind, but they were immediately replaced by anxiety. He nodded and said, "Okay, you can try." Jiang Chenyu walked towards Xihe slowly, and said to the guards: "Let her go." The guards let go. As soon as Xihe was free, she immediately backed away with the box in her arms, staring at Jiang Chenyu warily, with an extremely terrified expression on her face. Jiang Chenyu smiled, opened her vermilion lips lightly, and sang as soon as she opened her mouth: "The moon rises, Shui Yiyi. Like Bi Xi, Ru Qingyi..." What she sang was exactly what Xihe sang just now. Word for word. Although the voice is not as beautiful as Xihe, but the pitch is more accurate.If Xihe's singing is the breathtaking beauty of peonies, then Jiang Chenyu's singing is the fragrance of fresh fermented grains of green ants next to sandalwood chess, with a longer aftertaste. Xi He listened motionlessly with foggy eyes open, and the guarded look on her face gradually faded away. After Jiang Chenyu sang once, she stopped and looked at her with a smile: "This song is so beautiful. Isn't it?" Xihe stared at her blankly without speaking. Jiang Chenyu took a step towards her, her voice became softer and softer: "Xiaohong is sleepy, let him have a good sleep, okay?" Xi He stared down at the box in her hand blankly, her gaze was glued to it, her eyes filled with sadness, and in an instant, steamed into steam. So Jiang Chenyu took another step towards her: "Xiao Hong has clothes and is not cold anymore, but he is very sleepy now and needs to sleep. Give him to me, okay?" Xihe immediately raised her head vigilantly.Jiang Chenyu spread his hands and said with a calm smile: "Don't worry, I won't steal from you, I just let him sleep well. When Xiaohong is sleeping, you can watch him by the side and continue to sing for him ,OK?" Xihe handed the box to her half-believingly, but halfway through it, she backed down, hugged it back into her arms, and shook her head desperately. Jiang Chenyu was not discouraged, and continued to approach with a smile: "Is that so... Shall I exchange it with you for other things?" Xihe blinked blankly while holding the box tightly.Although she has always been evaluated as an enchantress by the outside world, her facial features are actually not alluring. At this moment, her usual sharpness, arrogance and meanness are gone, and what is left is only the innocence, weakness, and timidity unique to girls. . Looking at Xihe like this, Jiang Chenyu faintly thought of four words—— I feel pity... That's all. She drooped her eyelashes dejectedly, suppressing the inexplicable soreness and pain in her heart, and smiled at Xihe again: "I will exchange this thing with you, you give me Xiaohong, and someone takes him back to sleep. Okay?" As he spoke, he signaled Huai Jin behind him to hand over the things. Huai Jin hurriedly took off the package on her back, and gently opened it. Inside was a white robe that was folded very evenly. Xi He's eyes suddenly became hot. Jiang Chenyu took the white robe from Huaijin's hand, walked slowly to Xihe, didn't say anything, just passed the white robe over calmly, and then saw the facial features of the most beautiful woman in the world distorted in an instant— ——That's the appearance of a person who collapsed after his emotions brewed to the peak. With a "pop", the wooden box fell to the ground, and Xihe grabbed the white robe tremblingly.But the guards didn't need to order any more this time, they flew over to pick up the box and returned to Zhao Yin's side. Zhao Yin glanced at the head in the box, his eyes hurt, he quickly turned his face away, and said in a deep voice, "Take it away and put it in a safe place for a proper burial." "Yes!" The two guards hurriedly escorted the box away. On the other side, Xi He buried her face in the white robe, sniffing greedily the fragrance on the robe, and curled up with her whole body, weeping. Failing to behave like this, Zhao Yin was angry and pity at the same time, he couldn't help but walked over and said: "Stop making trouble, get up quickly..." As soon as his hand touched Xi He's shoulder, she bit her hard, and rolled around again. Crawled to hide. "you!" Seeing that Zhao Yin was about to get angry, Jiang Chenyu hurriedly called softly: "Your Majesty..." Zhao Yin looked at her, then looked at Xihe on the ground, his eyes flickered for a long time, then darkened, and sighed: "Forget it... come a few people, help Madam back to the palace, I can't let her sit all the time on the ground." The palace people all looked distressed.With Xihe's appearance, it is clear that she refuses anyone to approach, even the emperor was bitten by her, let alone the mere servants.And it's all like this, the emperor is still reluctant to hurt this favorite concubine, their actions are neither light nor heavy, what should we do? Just when everyone was frowning and at a loss, Jiang Chenyu stepped forward and said: "Let me try it." Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their affection for this concubine Shu naturally increased a bit. Jiang Chenyu walked up to Xihe, stared at her silently for a while, seeing that Xihe was trembling all over, obviously really sad to the extreme, couldn't help feeling pity and sadness in her heart, and it seemed a little vague Envy finally condensed into tenderness: "You...don't you help Xiaohong mend her clothes?" Xihe was startled, and raised her head blankly. Jiang Chenyu pointed to the white robe: "The clothes are torn." Xihe seemed to have discovered that there was a hole in her clothes just now, she raised her hands in a daze and unfolded her robe, looking at the big hole rustling by the wind, tears fell down her eyes, without saying anything, He staggered to his feet, took his clothes and went back to the temple. As soon as she entered the room, everyone followed in with a sigh of relief. When Jiang Chenyu walked into the gate of the palace, Xihe had already taken the needle and thread and began to darn the white robe, her expression was focused and calm, the setting sun shone in from the wide open windows on all four walls, superimposed on her body, her long black hair was like snow The two white robes set off each other, and the contrasting two colors constituted an extremely elegant picture, which remained in everyone's heart for a long time. Zhao Yin turned around suddenly and left without saying a word. Jiang Chenyu pondered for a while, and followed. The other guards and eunuchs also followed, but they kept a certain distance from the two with winks, not getting too close. After walking for a while, Jiang Chenyu found that Zhao Yin was not planning to return to the imperial study, but was walking aimlessly in the palace, and the more remote the place was, the houses were scarce, the vegetation was barren, and he came to a place where he had never been before. past place. Then Jiang Chenyu discovered that this place was originally the end of Fengqi Lake. As the most famous scenery of the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Bi, the most beautiful place in Fengqi Lake is Dongda Bridge, where Xue Cai once frightened Mrs. Xihe's carriage with a horsewhip, causing her to fall into the water.Therefore, Jiang Chenyu had always thought that Dongda Bridge was the whole of Fengqi Lake, but now that he saw it, he realized that the end of the lake was so depressed. Although it is summer, the vegetation is sparse, half green and half yellow, drooping, and several brick houses are crumbling, and most of them have been destroyed. It is obvious that no one has been here for a long time.Occasionally, crows flew over the dead branches, making ah-ah calls, adding a bit of depression. Jiang Chenyu looked at Zhao Yin thoughtfully - did he come here on purpose?Or unintentional?If she guessed right, this...is where Zhao Yin lived when he was a child. In the eleventh year of Jiaping, Ningshu passed by here, and heard a woman singing, she was as beautiful as the sounds of nature, and on a whim, he favored the maid from the Clothes Bureau, but she didn't give her a name afterwards, but unexpectedly, the palace maid was secretly married. She conceived in October and gave birth to a prince. But her status was low, and she was forgotten by the center, so for a long time, no one cared about her. Ten years later, the court lady died of illness. Someone reported the matter, but Luo Heng accidentally saw it and told Yun Shu, only then did he know that there was another prince.Immediately ordered someone to take Zhao Yin back.But at that time, Zhao Yin was stunted and illiterate due to lack of food and clothing since he was a child, and he was a world apart from other princes. No one thought that the thin and vulgar child would later become the emperor of a country. Just like no one would have thought that this heroic emperor would have such a background... At this moment, Zhao Yin was staring at the half-red and half-blue lake water under the setting sun, neither happy nor sad, with deep eyes and a calm expression. The cool wind blew gently from the lake, and there were layers of ripples on the surface of the lake. He stood with his hands behind his back, and the sun dyed his cheeks with golden light, so he could no longer see clearly. Qianqiu emperor's dream. Throughout the ages, so many people want to be emperors.But being the emperor, is it consummation and no regrets? Zhao Yin, the twenty-year-old emperor, married Xue Ming, the daughter of the former eldest princess at the age of thirteen, and gained the support of the Xue family. But at that time, the power of the Xue family was not enough to compete with the Wang family. Therefore, when he was fourteen years old, he knelt down in front of the gate of Ji's mansion and begged Ji Hu to become his concubine. Since then, the Ji family has also become his strong backing.In the twenty-seventh year of Jiaping, Bi Wang Yunshu was critically ill. He wanted to pass the throne to Crown Prince Quan. Zhaoyin, Xue Huai, and Ji Ying conspired, and launched a mutiny on the night of October 10, killing Zhaoquan and forcing him to change himself. Be the emperor - that is the famous Double Tenth Change.The following year, Zhaoyin ascended the throne, changed the country's name to Tubi, and chose Jiang's eldest daughter as his concubine.So far, with the assistance of Jiang, Ji, and Xue, the three great families, the throne has been firmly established. In the fourth year of Tubi, he forced Xue Huai to rebel and uprooted his family. It can be said that in this emperor's life, every step has been taken vigorously and resolutely.He knows exactly what he wants and delivers it relentlessly. The Xue family is like this, and the Ji family... is also like this. Although Ji Ying's death was ordered by his father, his father would not have dared to take this risky move without Zhao Yin's nod.So what is the reason for Zhao Yin's calm but indescribably sad expression now? Is it to regret Ji Ying's death?Or are you annoyed by Xihe's madness? If it is said that he wants to eradicate the Xue family, it is because Xue Huaigong is a master and has already threatened his imperial power.But the Ji family didn't have one—at least, for now, not yet.Why would he acquiesce in his father's crazy behavior?Why did he want Ji Ying to die? Could it be that... is it really because of... Xihe? Jiang Chenyu's eyes were getting darker, his hands were slowly clenched, and a voice from the bottom of his heart pierced through the thick fog and sounded coldly but resolutely—don't believe it! She, Jiang Chenyu, did not believe that such a ruthless man would sacrifice his most powerful minister for the sake of a woman. Such a faint king might be King Wu Fuchai, Prince Zhou Xin, and Prince You Gongyan, but he alone will not be him——King Bi Zhaoyin! Thinking of this, Jiang Chenyu's eyes turned from hot to cold, lowered his head slightly, and looked down at the ground, the sunlight dragged the shadow long, and then, it slowly darkened. Night fell. But Zhao Yin remained motionless and had no intention of leaving. A group of people waited outside Zhangzhang with bated breath, not daring to urge them. Jiang Chenyu thought for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, it's getting cold at night, let's go back." Zhao Yin's body trembled, as if awakened by the sound, he turned his head with surprise on his face, but it was only a momentary expression, and then he returned to calm. "Yeah." He nodded, turned around and walked ahead. At the beginning of the Huadeng, light and shadow whirling.They were clearly within the palace walls, but the road they walked was like two worlds with the other palaces. The warmth and hustle and bustle in the distance could not be penetrated, making them look extraordinarily desolate. From Jiang Chenyu's point of view, one can see Zhao Yin's back, thin clothes can't hide his thinness, one by one, he suddenly realized a certain fact: Zhao Yin seems to be the thinnest man she has ever met. ... Just when she was in a daze, Zhao Yin suddenly said, "When did you come back?" Jiang Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Just after entering the palace gate, I was led to Baohua Palace to meet His Majesty." Zhao Yin let out an "oh", paused, and then slowly said: "This time out of the palace...how do you feel?" Jiang Chenyu's eyes were full of emotions, and after a long time, he replied: "The world is not as big as a palace, a capital, or even a country..." Zhao Yin didn't expect her answer to be this. He was taken aback, and when he turned his head to look at her, there was a lot of inquiry in his eyes: "How to say?" Jiang Chenyu carefully chose the words: "Since I was sensible, my concubine has been taught by her master, warned by her parents, and influenced by the people around her. It’s good to be a good lady with etiquette. It’s only when I entered the palace that I realized that female celebrities, cooking skills, poetry, and even the etiquette I learned in the past have become useless. They can’t make me get the emperor’s favor , can't make me an excellent princess. So for a long time, the concubines have been asking themselves - what should I learn? What should I do? What is the meaning of my existence like this? " Zhao Yin smiled: "You really think a lot." This was the first time he showed such a pleasant expression today, so although the words were reproaches, they also contained a bit of kind teasing. Jiang Chenyu followed suit with a smile, and continued: "But this trip out of the palace, I went to a place I had never been to before, and met all kinds of people. Some lived happily, and some lived happily. Unhappy, some very positive, some not positive... Those pictures are like the stitches on the embroidery, intertwined one by one, gradually forming a pattern, forming the answer I have been looking for." "Oh, what's the answer?" Zhao Yin was obviously interested, and looked at her with bright eyes. Jiang Chenyu didn't give a shit, and replied happily: "It's beneficial to people." Zhao Yin raised his eyebrows. "The so-called benefiting people means being beneficial to others. To put it more simply, your existence is beneficial to others." "Go on." "Your Majesty, why do you think the tiger is always alone?" Zhao Yin thought for a while: "Well... because of being strong?" "Then why do humans, who are stronger than tigers, live in groups?" Zhao Yin was questioned, but Jiang Chenyu immediately explained: "Because, human beings want to protect and care for each other, so they live together to create a race that has been passed down from generation to generation." Zhao Yin stared at her blankly, not knowing whether it was because of shock or approval. "At the end of the Qin Dynasty, there were more than 20 million people in total, but by the beginning of the Han Dynasty, there were only two or three thousand households left in the original ten thousand households. The situation of "Qi Min No Cang Gai". The Three Kingdoms fought fiercely and the war continued, and the population after Chibi was only 900,000. Looking at Tang Wuzong, the state had 4.96 million households, and when Zhou Shizong was born, there were only 1.2 million households...It can be said that, Every war, while reducing the population sharply, also caused the economy and civilization of that period to become blank. When human beings no longer benefit and help each other, when human beings start killing each other, society stagnates and moves forward. Even retreated. Therefore, as a member of the vast history, no matter how insignificant, I should be beneficial to others and beneficial to the world—this is the answer I found.” Zhao Yin was silent for a long time, then took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "You... have grown up, Chen Yu." The eloquent and intelligent woman in front of him is no longer the girl who presented her self-recommendation letter in front of him with her hair in a bun.The Jiang Chenyu at that time might just be bold, but the Jiang Chenyu now has a higher level of wisdom, just like the second Ji Ying. Thinking of Ji Ying, Zhao Yin felt another pain in his heart, and blurted out a question that was originally taboo: "Ji Ying, is he... well?" Jiang Chenyu stared at him fixedly, for a long time, he didn't move or speak. Zhao Yin felt a little terrified by her gaze, and subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?" Jiang Chenyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and then she opened her mouth, and said slowly in an unusually calm and somewhat cold tone: "Didn't the Emperor already see Qi Aohou's face?" Zhao Yin was startled, and Jiang Chenyu's second sentence followed immediately: "As for why he left, the emperor and his concubines should know the most clearly... right?" This sentence obviously stabbed Zhao Yin in pain, the young emperor's eyes flashed with anger, he was about to reprimand the concubine for being impolite, but he was shocked when he saw her face—— Two lines of clear tears poured out of his eyes without a sound or even life, Jiang Chenyu was clearly crying, but it was not sadness, it was more like a kind of pity. And that kind of pity unexpectedly melted Zhao Yin's anger, and then permeated with the same kind of pity. ——Because he couldn't cry for Ji Ying, seeing Jiang Chenyu cry, it was as if his own sadness was explained along with her tears; and because he was actually in the same situation as her, so he was more able Feel how difficult it is for her to cry in front of others at this moment. Zhao Yin's eyes flickered, and he slowly stretched out his hand... Jiang Chenyu caught it tremblingly. The hands of the two were gently pulled together like that. Zhao Yin's hands are cold, not always warm like Ji Ying's, which can make people feel a kind of stable and peaceful power.However, this is the most authoritative and noble hand in Bi Kingdom in the world today. Jiang Chenyu stared at the fingertips she was holding with him, her eyes were deep, filled with unreadable emotions, after a while, she raised her head and smiled at Zhao Yin. So Zhao Yin also smiled, and pulled her to move on. Jiang Chenyu whispered: "Your Majesty..." "Ok?" "The master is dead." "En." Zhao Yin didn't even move his eyebrows. He naturally knew about the situation of the two hidden guards from other sources: it is said that the unlucky ghost who lost an arm and a leg in order to protect Jiang Chenyu was in After lingering on the bed for a month, he finally died on the way back to the imperial capital. "Do you still want hidden guards? Then I'll give you two more." Jiang Chenyu raised her head and said: "Will the emperor still let his concubines out of the palace?" Zhao Yin asked back: "Do you want to leave the palace?" Jiang Chenyu answered without hesitation: "Yes." Zhao Yin looked at her, smiled again, and said in a doting tone: "My heart is playing wild." After a pause, he said, "However, it is true that you should not be locked up. This palace...is really It's too small..." Jiang Chenyu sensed something from his words, and couldn't help asking: "Does the emperor want to go out and have a look?" Zhao Yin's eyes changed slightly, and he became gloomy in an instant: "No. I won't go." Although his face was unhappy, it could be felt that he was not angry at her for asking the wrong question, but more like angry at himself for not being able to respond to such a question. Zhao Yin...it seems...has he never been out of the palace? When he indulged her to go out to practice, did he also bet on her a part of his desire that he couldn't have? Thinking of this, Jiang Chenyu felt in his heart for a moment, not knowing what to feel. "Tomorrow, go to court with me." Zhao Yin said suddenly. Jiang Chenyu was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized: "Yes." Zhao Yin's so-called "following" did not really attend with him. As the emperor's think tank, when the emperor went to court, he always stood in the dark room on one side and listened.The previous Hanlin Bazhi had all died, and it was time to choose newcomers.When Zhao Yin said this, he clearly meant that she would become one of them. Does this... count as being recognized? There was a wry smile on Jiang Chenyu's lips. What should have been happy, but because of the demise of the reason that led him to become a counselor, it became full of sadness. Back then, all kinds of bravery and obsession were all for that person. But now, if you want to buy the sea with Magu, a cup of spring dew is as cold as ice... She suddenly remembered something, and quickly let go of Zhao Yin's hand. When Zhao Yin turned around in surprise, she took out a booklet from her bosom, and handed it to her respectfully: "I have not been able to complete the emperor's explanation, please The emperor will punish you." After saying that, he knelt down. Zhao Yin took the booklet, opened it for a few glances, raised his eyebrows and said, "Cheng Guo's smelting technique... Are you begging me to reward you in disguise?" "Failing to marry the princess is due to my concubine's dereliction of duty..." "Come on." Zhao Yin pulled her up, smiling at the corners of her brows and eyes, "That woman Yishu is as good as she is, and she is good at knitting green hats. I really don't want to spoil Jiang Aiqing and Pan Aiqing." Hearing his evaluation of Yishu, Jiang Chenyu knew that he was mean, but still couldn't help but burst out laughing. Talking and laughing while walking like this, Zhao Yin let go of his hands and said, "You must be tired after returning from a long journey, go back and rest." Jiang Chenyu kowtowed, turned around and stepped into the palace gate.As soon as he entered the door, he met a pair of eyes, and his heart trembled. Because of the backlight, the owner of the eyes stood in the dark with cold eyes, like a wolf. Jiang Chenyu was stunned for a moment before realizing: "Sister?" The person walked out of the shadows slowly, the light in front of the porch fell on the white and bloodless face through the mottled tree shadows, and her eyes became more and more resentful—it really was Huayue. "Sister?" Jiang Chenyu subconsciously went to shake her hand, but she swung it away forcefully.Jiang Huayue didn't say anything, just gave her a cold look, and left quickly. Only then did Juyu come out of the room nervously, and said in a low voice, "Missy has been here for half a stick of incense, and just about to leave, I saw..." Jiang Chenyu closed her eyes in despair. Elder sister must have heard that she had returned to the palace, and contacted the so-called rumors that "Concubine Shu contracted an illness and was sent to Bishui Mountain Villa to recuperate", so she was worried about whether she would recover, so she hurried over to visit, but unexpectedly, she happened to be sent by the emperor himself. When she returned to the palace, she held hands and talked happily all the way... As a result, the original worry was replaced by jealousy, and then he glared at her with such hateful eyes. For a moment, she felt melancholy and felt unspeakable, but at this moment, Zhuo Yu said something that made it even more difficult for her to calm down: "And Miss... the master is here too, waiting inside the house." Jiang Chenyu turned his head, and saw a tall and thin figure standing inside the doorpost of Panlong Diaofeng. At first glance, he looked weak and simple, as if he was just an ordinary middle-aged scholar, but in today's world, there is no People know better than she— This person is the real Yedi of Bi Kingdom. The country's right minister - Jiang Zhong. Her... father.
