Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

When it comes to posturing, the boudoir daughters in the mansion are full of fancy rules, posturing and pretentiousness, he has seen a lot.But the one in front of him, with just a few movements, how could there be a trace of the taste of the palace?Could it be that he was a servant in the palace or... Zhao Fudong blinked, suddenly startled by his assumption. "I can make it impossible for you to find out. Who do you think I am?" Under the moonlit night, the girl's cheeks were like jade, and her pair of dark eyes were quiet and quiet. Melting into the eyes, the coldness is desolate, and the fragrance is cold.

Zhao Fudong was stunned for a moment, a little annoyed and complicated because his thoughts were being told.He did check the names, flags, and family backgrounds that she had written on the rice paper, but the result of the comparison in the government office was exactly the same as what she had written, but the difference was in the records. is a man, and she herself is a woman.Being able to tamper with the government's books is not something ordinary people can do. "Why, if you dare to set up a bureau here to seek personal gain and swindle money, there will be times when you will be afraid? Is this the other courtyard of some lord? It must be the Beijing officials taking advantage of the opportunity of Chunwei to amass money." No matter whether someone comes to rescue, At this moment, she must protect herself as much as possible.After Lian Xin finished speaking, she smiled, with a shrewd look on her face.

The fact that fraud was committed in the name of the government did exist during the Chunwei period, and the Nine Gates Admiral's Yamen has indeed been investigated for a long time. This was once a meal with him in the Chengqian Palace, and Su Peisheng occasionally reported it to him .At this moment, Lian Xin made up her mind, with a straight face, she let the steward's eyes fall on her face without blinking, and she didn't dodge at all, but the palms hidden in her sleeves were already wet. "Miss, do you think that the slave will trust you if you say that, and then let you go?" Zhao Fudong's face froze, and he smiled in an instant, "What exactly is the lady here for, in fact, everyone knows it well, so there is no need to say any more. As for Miss’s tricks, I’d rather save your effort, I advise you to put away your cleverness here, they are all people who have fought in the battlefield of life and death, such mere tricks are really laughable.” He said, He waved his hand behind him.

Lian Xin's expression tightened, and the next moment, she heard heavy footsteps.A few figures walked over from the Chaoshou verandah, because they were all dressed in white, they were really eye-catching in the dark night.When they got closer, there was a funeral procession, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety, and a few people in the middle were carrying a coffin of huanghuali. Lian Xin's eyes widened, and she shivered suddenly.However, before she could react, two servants stepped forward and stuffed a pill into her mouth. "Hmm..." she exclaimed, struggling desperately with her hands and feet.At this time, a powerful hand knife slashed at the back of her neck, and a tingling pain hit her immediately. Lian Xin's eyes darkened, and she fell limply to the ground.

"There is a way to heaven, you don't go, and there is no way to hell, you just want to break in, but you can't blame anyone. In the next life, reincarnate and keep your eyes bright. You can't mess with anything. Closing the coffin—" Lin closed his eyes At that moment, he could see those young servants lifting him up, and then the coffin lid was closed little by little before his eyes, and the black dream sank. The cuckoo in the middle of the night uttered a mournful cry, and the long night was about to pass, and the crescent moon, like a sickle, also faded its brilliance in the sky, and soon it was white in the east.There was a faint mist on the outskirts of the city, and the cold air came up from the ground little by little, which was a little scary.

Lian Xin didn't know when she woke up, and immediately felt a burning pain in the back of her neck.It's just that she was very lucky to be able to wake up, because she remembered that what she fed into her mouth was a jet-black pill, which exuded a unique sweetness, but it was not poison.But at this moment, it was like having a nightmare. He died in the dream, and he was still there when he woke up, but he was dripping with cold sweat. At this moment, the whole body is very narrow and extremely uncomfortable.She tried to move her body, but found that there was no room for movement other than turning her head.Thoughts flooded into my mind like a tide, the steward of the post house, the servant in sackcloth and filial piety...the surroundings are so narrow, and the eyes are as dark as night—could it be that she is lying in a coffin?

Lian Xin was taken aback by her guess, and subconsciously bent her knees to push it up, but she couldn't use any strength, her suffocating breath was suppressed in her chest, and darkness filled her vision.For a split second, the thought triggered the deepest fear in her heart, Lian Xin whimpered, arched her body vigorously and hit the coffin lid with her forehead, only a muffled sound came out. Help!The cramped space made her feel as if she was trapped in a muddy place, with bursts of uncontrollable suffocation.Just when she was panicking, someone outside suddenly knocked on the coffin lightly.

"Boom boom boom..." "Boom..." The muffled sound hit her eardrums, making her subconsciously quiet down, and she listened carefully. At this moment, she vaguely heard a long shout from outside: "Get up!" The body of the coffin was shaking, and the four corners were fixed on ropes as thick as the wrists.The bearer carried the coffin and walked out of the small four-story building step by step. There were already servants and servants dressed in filial piety waiting outside the courtyard, but they didn't know where they found them.The white flag led the way, and the paper money was scattered everywhere. When they stepped out of the courtyard, there was a whimpering cry, and there was a sudden sense of desolation and coldness.

"When the coffin is transported out of the city with the coffin, find a secluded place to bury it, and do it neatly." "The slave is doing things, don't worry." Amid the wailing and crying, those two lines of dialogue could be vaguely heard.Lian Xin was lying in the coffin, and she was shocked when she heard it—this is trying to transport her out of the city...to bury her alive? She suddenly widened her eyes, but the faint feeling in her heart told her that something was wrong.From last night till now, everything has been weird.It would be reasonable to say that the pills fed to her were poison, but she woke up and now maintains a clear consciousness.If at the gate of the city, the guarding officials wanted to open the coffin for inspection, wouldn't they be exposed?No reason they couldn't think of that.

"When you get to the gate of the city, you must be more peaceful. If you are stopped by those officials, it will really be a bad thing." "Boss, the people inside are all dead, just open it to see, the face is full of sores, the body is full of stench, it will only scare those people back, right? The slave gave her the medicine personally yesterday, it's a pity for that face , Now that I think about it, it’s already horrible.” Sores all over your face, all over your body... "It doesn't matter what your face looks like, what matters is your life. If you lose your life, you don't know anything."

The voice that spoke at the end was somewhat familiar, it should be the steward who picked her up at the posthouse.The eyes of the girl who was safe and sound in the coffin were bright, and the doubts in her heart deepened. At this moment, the voice said again: "A person cannot be resurrected after death, just grab what you can grab in your hand when you are alive, and you can be cast into a good family even if you reincarnate." The hands on both sides of the body moved subconsciously.Lian Xin couldn't move her body, she could only touch it with her fingers, the snow-white brocade was covered under her body, and the tentacles were very soft.If the corpse is usually collected for funeral and burial, funerary objects must be placed inside.She fumbled a few times, but found nothing, but suddenly felt something hard and thick under her waist, like a thread-bound book, the paper was very thin, and it felt a little wrinkled. what is itOpen it with your fingers, and you can feel the sticky traces of ink stains on the inner pages, which are words... Before I had time to think about it, the coffin had already landed on the ground. Outside the Xuanwu Gate leads to the Caishikou Execution Ground where prisoners were beheaded, and prison cars always come in and out from there, so it is also called "Death Gate" by the people.The noon cannon on the Wengcheng was fired every day, and the sound shook the capital.At this moment, it was just noon, and Lian Xin knew that she had reached the foot of the city tower when she heard the rumbling cannon. The officials guarding the city came over with the registers and checked them as usual. If she yelled, the city guards outside would definitely hear it, right?Lian Xin moved subconsciously, but at this moment, she suddenly remembered the meaningful words of the manager on the street just now. "Who's in there?" "Reporting to the official, it is an old girl who died of smallpox." It's no wonder that the sores on the face and the stench are said to be the introduction of smallpox.Lian Xin listened quietly, but her heart felt momentarily relaxed and sometimes tense, what if she missed this opportunity and was really buried alive? The booklet was pressed under her waist and was already covered with heat. She clutched the corner of her clothes tightly, gritted her teeth secretly, but her heart froze. The coffin lid was pushed open at this moment, and the sunlight came in, illuminating the beautiful young girl lying quietly inside, with her eyes closed, her face was as white as snow, without any flaws.However, the inspecting official only closed his eyes and poked his head, even holding his breath, how could he see the problem? "The old man's daughter was twenty-eight years old, and she died before she got married. The old man just wanted to bury her as soon as possible, so as not to increase the resentment." After Zhao Fudong said, he took it out of his arms with a smile on his face. The two banknotes were stuffed into the sleeves of the gatekeepers. The official glanced at him, tacitly agreed, and then waved his hand to let him go. If the Jimen is restrained, it will not be successful, but if the evil gate is restrained, it will not be able to; the Jimen will bring great benefits to each other, but the evil gate will inevitably lead to disaster—the Jimen is the gate of life, and the fierce gate is the gate of death.The coffin exits from the gate of death, and then turns into the gate of life, just confirming the old saying, put it to death and then live. The bearers put down the coffin, and with a loud bang, even the people lying in it shook.Zhao Fudong told them to leave after a few words, and the two boys who remained were carrying hoes and shovels in their hands. Just as they were about to dig a hole, he stretched out his hands from left to right and twisted them around their necks. The servant's neck broke and he died on the spot. Lian Xin was lying inside, not knowing what had happened, and when the coffin lid was pushed away, Zhao Fudong helped her out, only to be startled by the situation in front of her, "You..." "Miss has suffered. The servant made such a terrible plan. It is really a last resort. I hope you will forgive me." After Zhao Fudong said, he knelt down in front of Lian Xin, humbly and submissively, no longer the vicious and vicious look in the other courtyard. He was the one who wanted to kill, and he was the one who saved people at this moment.Lian Xin looked at him with some confusion, "It was you who secretly changed the poison, and you put this thing in the coffin? I heard clearly what I just said outside, but you clearly knew that I came here to investigate the fraud case in the examination room. Come, but still want to help..."Why? Zhao Fudong lowered his head and said softly: "When we were in the posthouse earlier, the slaves also regarded the young lady and the master as wealthy households who came to take the exam from other places, but one day they sent someone to follow them, but found that the two were followed by many masters... ..." It was very far away at that time, but even Lian Jiazi, who cultivated with his own hands, did not dare to approach easily. Then, one day, they tracked and discovered that their carriage drove into Miyagi. "So, you deliberately took me into a suburban courtyard without knowing it, and deliberately showed me the process of reselling the test questions..." Lian Xin quickly came to a conclusion while her thoughts were racing. The arrogant old man seen in the other courtyard should be a slave of the people behind the scenes just like him.Two people, one wants to get rid of her and hides her whereabouts, the other secretly rescues her and reveals the truth, and the latter obviously has his heart and premeditated plan. Zhao Fudong cupped his hands appreciatively, and said, "Miss Linglong's heart, my guess is half right." "reason?" "This matter has been followed by people in the palace, and several forces have tracked it down together. Sooner or later, it will come to light. Rather than lose your head along with it, it's better... to find another way." After Zhao Fudong said, there was a hint of cruel thought in his eyes. Lian Xin stared at him with an inexplicable expression, "As you said, many people are investigating this matter now. If you want to get out, why do you have to make such a big detour instead of going to the government office?" How about exposing it directly?" If the nine admirals can't do it, they can go to the scholar's mansion, and if they can't, there are officials, punishments, rites... as dry as he is, if they are entrusted to someone else, it's not like all previous efforts are wasted, but they will lead to death? Zhao Fudong snorted and shook his head, "The old slave has been in this circle for so many years. Since the previous dynasty, the township examination is held every three years, and the general examination is held every year. If the forces behind it don't have enough weight, I can't afford such a big stall. It's not that the late emperor didn't check it when he was alive, but what happened? Now the emperor wants to check it, how can he check it? The organization from top to bottom is already rotten, and the slaves stepped forward. Enter the yamen, and you may be dragged out with the last kick. It's useless!" Lian Xin was startled when she heard the words, and couldn't help being shocked.No wonder the emperor said that the fraud in the examination room has been accumulated for many years, and there is always nothing to investigate.There is such a shocking trick behind it.She didn't know much, but she still felt that this matter was difficult and involved, and it was a heart disease in his heart for many years. "Do you know who the person behind the scenes is?" Who is so capable of deceiving the top and the bottom, making all the officials of the three ministries keep silent... When Lian Xin asked this, she suddenly remembered the book found in the coffin, It should have been deliberately released by the steward of this posthouse. "The person behind it, the slave is hard to say, and I dare not say it lightly," Zhao Fudong sighed, and then his eyes fell on Lian Xin's hand holding the book, "The slave has handed over all the evidence of buying and selling officials over the years. In the hands of the young lady, it even involves Yu Hongtu, the Xuezheng of Henan Province... I implore the young lady to hand it over to someone who will make good use of it, so that she can be more sympathetic to the good intentions of the servant, and beg more for mercy." When Zhao Fudong said that name, his eyes blinked unconsciously, and fear and fear flashed across his eyes. Lian Xin kept flipping through the books, but didn't notice his expression.At this moment, I only heard noisy and noisy voices in the woods behind me. It seemed that many people came on horseback. "Oops!" Zhao Fudong took a look, and shouted at Lian Xin, "They're the ones catching up!" The noisy sound was getting closer, mixed with the neighing of the fierce horse.Zhao Fudong was terrified and looked around anxiously, but he couldn't find a place to hide or a tool to escape.The time is so tight, besides a few shovels, there is only one coffin beside him. Is it true that he will die here today? Lian Xin clutched the booklet tightly in her hand, and her heart was pounding.No one is a fool, if caught in such a situation, it must be silenced on the spot, and there will be no chance of survival. what to do?Lian Xin gritted her teeth, and her first move was to throw the booklet into a shallow pit just dug, then tore off a piece of cloth from her body, bit her finger, wrote a few words quickly, and buried the booklet in the soil inside.When she had just finished everything, she turned around again, and a group of people who were chasing after her had approached in the blink of an eye. "It's really hard for the old man to find it. I never thought that you, little girl, not only survived, but also abducted one of my confidantes!" The old man I met in the other courtyard on the outskirts of the city, who is old but not old, is now riding on a tall horse, smiling and squinting. Lian Xin's face was sullen, her heart was beating like a drum, after all, she was still young and hadn't experienced these things before, so she couldn't help but panic.But he bit his lip, trying to maintain his composure, "Whether it's a kidnapping or not depends on whether you and your master are popular and adapt to the situation. If you're exhausted, it's the same even if there is no external force." The old man's complexion instantly became ugly. With gloomy eyes, he shot a fierce look, "Get out of here quickly, the servant who is eating you. Let the master know, maybe I will peel off your skin!" Zhao Fudong seemed to be afraid of him, shrank his neck, and walked over stiffly. As soon as he got under the horse, he was slapped on the face by a raised whip, and blood burst out immediately.The distance was so close that she could feel the aftershock of the whip, Lian Xin unconsciously took half a step back. "Why, are you afraid now? It's too late!" The old man stroked his beard and suddenly laughed out loud.When he finished laughing, he didn't say much, just waved his hands behind him. The servants all held machetes in their hands, and one of them came up with a grinning face, "Little lady was born with such delicate skin and tender flesh, it's a pity to die like this, let the uncle like you so much." Lian Xin's eyes widened, she kept backing away, and saw that person approaching her.Just at this moment, the sound of horseshoes sounded from the other side, but it was noisier than before, as if more people were coming on horseback.Everyone turned their heads, but they saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance, raising a black and gray fog all over the sky.In the smoke and dust, there were impressively armored soldiers of the Eight Banners, who came with bitter hostility and evil spirit. Fighting hand to hand, you will know the strength once you meet.The shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the other courtyard were no match for the well-trained Eight Banners disciples, and they were all knocked to the ground from their horses within a few strokes.The old man was even more embarrassed. A hammer hit the top of his head, and he fell off the horse. With a muffled sound, his muscles and bones were broken immediately.The situation suddenly reversed, so fast that people had no time to react. Lian Xin was so shocked that she didn't even have time to cry out, she covered her mouth, turned around and ran into the woods.Behind him was the sound of fighting, and the swords had no eyes. Later, a group of people killed those servants in the suburban courtyard like chopping melons and vegetables. The smell of blood filled the air. Dig out the books in the pit. In a remote place, she couldn't tell the direction, and when she was flustered, she tripped over her skirt, staggered and fell hard to the ground... A pair of hands hugged her in time, and the warm breath came immediately , spit on the top of the hair, and then bring a sense of security and peace of mind.Lian Xin was tightly hugged in her arms, but the tension in her heart made her struggle desperately like a frightened bird. "It's me..." The magnetic voice sounded close to my ears, it was an extremely familiar voice. Lian Xin raised her head suddenly, her slightly pale face set off a pair of You Ruoquan's black eyes, which were wide open at the moment, shining brightly, revealing emotions that she had never seen before, "Your Majesty!" Yinzhen looked down at the girl in his arms, her clothes were messy, and her sweaty black hair stuck to her cheeks, making her look haggard.He put his arms around her waist, and put his other arm around her shoulder, "It's me, I'm here." On the other side, Jiang Tingxi and Tian Wenjing had already arrived with the royal guards. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but look at each other, showing disbelief.I have followed the emperor for many years, but I have never seen any woman with me, and I have never seen when I have been interested in anyone.But just now, the girl was just about to fall, and the anxiety that the Lord Long Live showed in a split second has already revealed his thoughts, and he flew over to catch it without thinking about it, without any scruples about the presence of all the officials. Zhang Tingyu has dealt with those servants pretty much, and the few remaining will be kept for confession.He ordered the soldiers to tie up the man, and then he held his sword and leaned over to return to his command. Only then did Lian Xin think of that Zhao Fudong, looking in the past, but what she saw was a bloody mess. "Don't look." At this moment, a pair of hands covered his eyes, with the warmth of ironing, blocking all sight.But after he finished speaking, he couldn't help but turn her around and hugged her domineeringly. Lian Xin was stunned for a moment, perhaps because of the surprise and emotion of the rest of her life after the catastrophe, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and there was a moment of absent-mindedness and collapse.She struggled a bit, then let him hold her without any resistance, turned her head slightly, and obediently leaned her side face on his strong shoulder.I don't think about anything anymore, I don't do anything, as if the world has become quiet in an instant. Seeing this posture, the confidant ministers next to him confirmed their guesses in their hearts - no wonder they hurriedly summoned the armaments of the Wucheng soldiers and horses last night, but they were originally concerned about the kidnapped people.But his eyesight was clumsy, and he stopped him desperately without knowing it, which touched the bad luck of the Long Live Lord.Thinking of this, several people glanced at Su Peisheng who was on the side, hating him for not saying it earlier. Just now, in order to catch up with Zhao Fudong and his party, all the servants and nurses in the other courtyard were mobilized, even the old man who was in charge arrived, and they caught all the fish and shrimps in one go, leaving a few tongues, and the rest were killed on the spot. At this moment, Yinzhen saw that there was still a coffin next to the woods, and the lid of the coffin was still open, and a gloomy look flashed in his eyes. "After returning to the palace, let Erdo enter the palace immediately, and call the officials of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Officials to wait for the order." "Cha!" The countenances of several important ministers changed, and they shook their heads. Without waiting for the soldiers to clean up the scene, he hugged Lian Xin onto the horse, and sat behind her, holding her firmly in his arms with one hand, holding the rein with one hand, clamping his feet, and the horse neighed With a cry, he spread his hooves and rushed forward, rushing back to the palace.The rest of the courtiers behind them looked up at the pair of Bi people who had left in the dust, and it took a long time to react, and they couldn't help but be amazed. Su Peisheng smacked his lips, looked at it with joy, and turned around, only to find that his horse was gone.Seeing that Jiang Tingxi, Tian Wenjing and others next to him had all mounted their horses, they followed after them without even looking at themselves. "Wait for me, don't leave me here alone!" At this time, Zhang Tingyu had just finished disposing of the corpses on the ground. Seeing him staring at her flatteringly, he couldn't help smiling, and pointed to the coffin parked on the side, "I don't know how Mr. Su's feet are. There are solitary ghosts haunting, Su Gonggong should run quickly, maybe he can run back to the palace before dark." He finished speaking solemnly, leaned over his horse neatly, flicked his whip, and rode away. Su Peisheng stomped his feet angrily at the back, cursing one by one, thinking of what Zhang Tingyu said just now, he shivered immediately, and hurriedly walked away from this ghostly place. The education administration of the Henan government is an official who holds the power of culture and education in a province. He is an imperial envoy. His duty is to preside over the provincial examinations and examinations. That is, in the first year in the province, he inspects schools in various prefectures, prefectures, and counties, and holds annual examinations in reincarnation. , In the second year, he went to various places to preside over the scientific examinations, passed the two examinations at the age and division, and selected students from among the children—that is, scholars.Candidates are only eligible to participate in the provincial examination every three years to test candidates after they are selected as scholars.In this spring, the fraud case in the Henan government examination room, which has caused a lot of noise, has a great relationship with the province's academic administration. Whether the country can select real talents through the imperial examination, whether scholars can step up to the first step of the scientific examination, the examination for the selection of scholars in politics is the most basic and crucial step.The so-called "School Scholars are fair and honest, do not take a penny", if the academic officials in various provinces regard the scholar examinations that they are in charge of as a good opportunity to bribe and make money, then the trend of fraud will be unstoppable from now on.Therefore, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the academic administration of each province must be changed every three years, the purpose is to prevent the collusion between the examination officials and the local candidates, and to prevent the passing of time.The matter of the Henan Mansion is a hidden problem, but once it is uncovered, it will cause waves. When the sun was setting, Yinzhen rode his horse back to the palace with Lian Xin.The former emperor was good at riding and shooting, and he especially liked to go to the Mulan paddock in autumn, so he urged every prince to master solid horse skills. However, it has never happened before that the emperor rode a horse in the palace city.The black horse passed through the Xihua Gate, passed the Longzong Gate along the palace wall, and did not stop until Danbi in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He got off the horse neatly, then held her waist and helped her down, not only frightened the soldiers guarding the city gate, but also the palace servants inside and outside the palace.When he reacted, he ran forward to stabilize the strong horse, and pulled him to the upper courtyard. The two of them had already walked up to Danbi and stepped into the inner hall. Lian Xin had already been shaken to the point where she was still a little dizzy, so she obediently let him hold her.When he helped himself off the horse, it seemed that he whispered something in her ear, but she couldn't hear it clearly, but the servant who was serving on the side lowered her head and blushed. The interior of the hall has been incensed, and the warm orange halo is projected on the bright yellow brocade curtains, giving off a golden radiance all over the place. After he usually dealt with political affairs, he would stay in the Qianqing Palace when he was young, and most of the time he would return to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.The late emperor's bedroom was located in the Qianqing Palace, and the decoration style has remained the same since the late emperor's death.The Hall of Mental Cultivation is his bedroom, which is low-key and elegantly furnished, with unique taste and connotations. It is only used as a bedroom, but he has never summoned his concubines to sleep here. "Your Majesty, do you want to have dinner here?" The old eunuch who served followed behind, not daring to get too close, and only lowered his head to ask. Yinzhen glanced at the person in his arms, and waved his hands, "I will prepare some light snacks and bring them to the inner hall later. The preparations in the warm pavilion will be as usual. Then I will inform the imperial dining room that the refreshments at the second watch tonight will be skipped." .” The eunuch who asked about the food wrote down one by one, and retreated. There were only two people left in the big dormitory.Lian Xin recovered slightly after smelling the refreshing scent of incense, and found that she was still nestled in his arms, her cheeks were flushed, and she quickly got out of her body to stand firm. "I've been lacking energy just now, but I feel better now, I'll eat something later." His big hand touched her forehead, as if to test her temperature. Lian Xin bit her lip, remembering that she hadn't washed or eaten all day and night, she was really hungry, but it's not easy to eat here.At this moment, I just want to go back to Chengqian Palace to change clothes, take a good bath, and wash away the musty smell on my body.At this time, I saw him stretch out his hand to summon the maidservant, and ordered to serve the tub and hot water. Twelve huanghuali pear inlaid Dali row screens are placed behind wooden barrels. The maids thoughtfully brought flower petals and honey ointment. When hot water was prepared, the mist rose, creating a warm and moist feeling. Lian Xin stood there in a daze, and when the maids were all ready, he supported her shoulder domineeringly, and pushed her towards the screen. "Your majesty, this..." Is it for her to take a bath here?Just thinking about it, Lian Xin was already so shocked that she backed away again and again. Yinzhen looked at her bewildered look, with a smile on his lips, "Aren't you tired after being detained for a day and a night?" After finishing speaking, his faint eyes glanced at the tattered clothes on her body—it was still men's clothes . Lian Xin suddenly remembered the whispers that he whispered in her ear when he helped her off the horse in front of the palace gate, one sentence seemed to be "little weight", and one sentence was... "I should have taken off your clothes long ago, but I forgot." He folded his arms, looked at her leisurely, and pursed his lips. That's it.Lian Xin's thoughts that had been in a trance suddenly became clear at this moment, but when she suddenly remembered, her cheeks were slightly warm, she lowered her head, and said in a thin accent, "It's really inappropriate to dress like this in the palace. It's because the concubine didn't think carefully." Maybe. He should change into a decent one outside. After returning to the palace, he rode his horse and galloped, but he was seen by many maids and eunuchs. At this moment, she was still wearing the moon-white satin embroidered gown that she wore when she went to the street that day, cut to the waist, and outlined in a heroic manner.Wusi was simply tied up and hung loosely on her shoulders, with a few strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, which made Wusi darker and her skin whiter, bringing out a bit of ice and snow, and her long eyelashes trembling slightly made her look even more Weak and weak.One rigid and one soft, perfectly integrated into one body. His black eyes dimmed, he took a step closer, and his voice was low and hoarse, "Speaking of which, it should be my fault. Do you want to make up for it?" Lian Xin raised her eyes a little at a loss, her pupils were bright, and a dim light was reflected in her eyes, she thought "I dare not", but when she met those dark eyes, she was frightened by the flames jumping inside. I have to be silent.Subconsciously wanted to step back, but Yinzhen was lying in front of her at this moment, and while holding her waist, kissed her down overwhelmingly. Lian Xin's face was instantly burned, but as soon as she moved, she was held behind her head by one of his hands, and she was not allowed to flinch or resist.With lips and teeth intertwined, she tilted her head slightly, passively bearing his lingering but powerful kiss full of bewitching and comforting.The ribbon of her curly hair fell to the ground, the waterfall-like black silk dropped her shoulders, Lian Xin's hands were powerlessly pressed against his chest, and it was only because of the support of his hands around her waist that she did not fall limply. Slowly, the palm on her waist outside the embroidered robe couldn't help it, and stroked up the skirt, untied the belt and shoulder buttons... Lian Xin was in a daze, and the top was already messy and half faded by him He had even untied the silk apron belt at the back of his neck, exposing the snow-white skin, presenting a lively and fragrant scene in the bright candlelight. The clothes faded away, and something fell to the ground along with the unbuttoned skirt.At this moment, he panted and bowed his head in her ear, suppressed for a long time before stopping his movements, and chuckled softly, "Go quickly, otherwise, I don't guarantee that I will have a chance to take a bath later." Lian Xin's face was on fire, and she was so red that she could bleed. At this moment, the servants waiting outside the hall had been waiting for a long time, but they didn't dare to raise their voices to remind them, they just stood next to the threshold with their heads bowed. He straightened the brocade robe on his body, it was a regular dress with embroidered patterns of kisses, just now the two of them pressed against each other, and it was a little wrinkled, but he didn't care much about it.At this time, just hearing the rushing sound of the servant girl adding water into the tub behind the screen, heat waves surged up in his body, and the girl with red cheeks stood there shyly, wrapping her clothes tightly His appearance makes people look stupid, and he can't help but regret why he called those people into the palace.Unable to think about it any longer, he coughed lightly and walked out of the hall. Lian Xin stared blankly at his back, but when her gaze inadvertently swept over a certain spot on the carpet, she suddenly stopped him, "Your Majesty..." With the cherry lips slightly parted, he spit out those two words softly, as if wrapped in a warm breath, which made him startled.He stopped in his tracks, then looked back at her and smiled, his black eyes were gentle, "I'll be back soon." Lian Xin was startled when she heard the words, she didn't understand, but in an instant, her face turned redder, this time she was not only ashamed, but also panicked, "No... no, it's this..." She picked up the bag from the ground The book that fell, just lost consciousness, almost forgot about it. When the booklet was handed over to her, Yinzhen's gaze still remained fixed on her face, her dark eyes were dark, and there was infinite depth in her eyes.It wasn't until a moment later that he casually opened the somewhat old booklet.The book is very thick, bound with thick and hairy white thread, it looks like a manuscript at first glance, and it is covered with a letter printed in red clay.The yellowed inner page was damp, and the handwriting on it was slightly blurred, but the name, date, flag, number of copies can still be read... "Where did this come from?" After looking at it, he snapped it shut again, his black eyes sparkling brightly, revealing a hint of undisguised surprise. "It's the steward who handed us the name card in the posthouse that day. He gave it to me." Lian Xin only knew that it contained some accounts that had been privately handed over to and received by the chief officials of the scientific examination for several years. According to Zhao Fudong, there were a lot of them. The usefulness, if it is revealed, it will be a shocking event.In the woods before, she also wanted to hide this thing, and almost lost her life. Yinzhen looked at her with burning eyes, but he was very satisfied with the "we" that he said naturally.Before she realized anything, his long arms had already moved - he kissed her hard again.
