Gu Mingzhe lit the oil lamp, hugged the fat cat, and sat on the bed, looking as if he was facing an enemy, but after a while, his head started to move, his hands gradually loosened, and the cat in his arms fell on the bed .

Fat Cat woke up suddenly and jumped up, "Meow!"

Gu Mingzhe shivered, grabbed a handful of cat hair, and sighed, "It's already this hour, the little emperor probably won't come over."

Gu Mingzhe felt that he was going to have a heart attack from being frightened by the sleepwalking Qin Zheng. He touched his chest, but there was no slight ups and downs. It was over, and he stopped jumping.

"Meow?"

"Hey, go to sleep." Gu Mingzhe got out of bed and blew out the oil lamp, "Sleep a moment later, and you will lose ten years of life."

"Ah!" Lu Bai, who was hiding in the tree, sneezed. He rubbed his nose and stared at Gu Mingzhe's room until the oil lamp in the room went out.

Lu Bai jumped down from the tree, looked at the moon in mid-air, estimated the time in his mind, looked at Gu Mingzhe's room meaningfully, thought to himself, it was already this hour before turning off the lights, there really is something wrong with Gu Mingzhe.

Lu Bai moved his steps, his figure was like a ghost, and he came to Gu Mingzhe's window after a while.He bent down and took out a short knife from his boot, and scratched the window, tearing the intact window paper.

Lu Bai lay on the window, closed one eye, and looked in through the hole, but it was pitch black.

Lu Bai frowned slightly, why is the room so dark?Didn't even get the moonlight through?

He took a few steps back, intending to continue to break the hole in another place, and before leaving, he glanced into the window hole, and found that the window hole seemed to be flickering.

Lu Bai took a step forward and took a closer look. Under the moonlight, his amber eyes stared straight at Lu Bai.

Lu Bai was startled, he took two steps back and jumped up a tall tree, hiding in the leaves and not daring to move, he froze all night, not daring to sleep or going down to the ground.

"Meow?" The fat cat in the room tilted its head, and looked at the strange person outside the window through the new hole.

As soon as the next day dawned, Lu Bai hurriedly jumped down from the tree, took the emergency pass token Qin Zheng gave him, and went all the way to Qianqing Palace unimpeded.

Qin Zheng immediately saw Lu Bai with a pale face. He looked at Lu Bai and said, "What's the matter? Are you being chased by a ghost?"

After seeing Qin Zheng, Lu Bai's eyes were red, his lips trembled for a while, and he said, "Your Majesty, the grass people have a sacred fate."

Tsk, I was really scared. Ever since talking with the rotting corpse, Qin Zheng has become more courageous.Sitting on the small couch, he said with a straight face, "You can't handle such a small matter well, thanks to the fact that you are still half a Jianghu."

Lu Bai gritted his teeth and said nothing, no matter what the emperor said, he would not accept this job.

"Forget it." Seeing that he was really scared, Qin Zheng felt pitiful, "I have one more thing here, which is definitely easier than monitoring Gu Mingzhe."

Lu Bai's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Cao Min is willing to pay for his merits."

Qin Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Have you heard of Lin Changfeng?"

Lu Bai was stunned for a moment, and said with a strange expression, "Your Majesty is talking about Lin Changfeng, the son of the former Shang Shuling?"

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, what's wrong with him?"

Lu Bai hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Changfeng has a bad character."

"Oh? How do you say that?"

"His father was indeed a rare talent during his lifetime, but he acted very dissolutely, wandering around the fireworks and willow lanes every day, and at the age of 40, he has not yet married and established a business, and he is idle all day long."

Qin Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Fireworks and Willow Alley sells gold caves. No matter how much his father has, his family property is not enough to ruin him for decades. What does he usually live on?"

Lu Bai glanced at Qin Zheng in surprise. The emperor understood the people's sentiments and knew that the brothel was a place for prodigal sons.He coughed lightly and said, "Lin Changfeng is a man with two points of talent. When the money is not enough, he will stay in the brothel to play the piano and perform arts. If he has money, he will continue to lose."

"...It's kind of interesting," Qin Zheng pretended to be more interested in his conscience, "Go and bring him into the palace, and you can take the token with you, so it will be more convenient for you to come in and out. "

"...Yes." Lu Bai felt that if he was caught by his father this time and went to the brothel, he would definitely be beaten to death.

Zhao Guoxian felt that the little emperor was developing in the direction of a foolish emperor, and he had to pull it out, if he couldn't pull it back, forget it.

"Your Majesty," Zhao Guoxian walked up to Qin Zheng and said, "You haven't been studying at Mr. Gu's for several days."

Qin Zheng sighed and said, "Let's go, let's go today."

Zhao Guoxian bowed and said, "Yes." Gu Mingzhe should be allowed to teach the little emperor, and he can just remind Gu Mingzhe.

After Gu Mingzhe got up early, he repaired the fat cat because it broke the window, which caused Gu Mingzhe to be woken up by the wind.

"Meow meow!" The fat cat jumped onto the beam, staring at Gu Mingzhe with a pair of vertical amber pupils.

Gu Mingzhe pointed to the fat cat with a ruler in his right hand, "Master, come down."

Don't get me wrong, how could such a gentle and refined person like Gu Mingzhe be able to swear at others? In fact, the fat cat's name is Uncle, because it is pampered and tempered like Uncle.

Uncle Cat lay on the beam, flicked his tail and fell asleep.

Gu Mingzhe took out a pile of dried fish from the cupboard, and licked his mouth while eating.

Uncle Cat moved his ears, struggled for a while, and finally surrendered to his desire, jumped off the beam, and went to grab the dried fish in Gu Mingzhe's hand.

Gu Mingzhe quickly grabbed it, rubbed Uncle Cat, gritted his teeth and said, "Next time you're arrogant, I'll let you take a bath."

"Mr. Gu, Your Majesty is here to study." Zhao Guoxian's voice came from outside the room.

Gu Mingzhe's body froze, and Uncle Cat jumped to the ground, biting the dried fish and jumping onto the beam.

Gu Mingzhe ignored Mr. Cat, straightened his clothes, opened the door calmly, and said with a faint smile, "It's great that your Majesty can take the initiative to study like this."

Qin Zheng glanced at Gu Mingzhe's cuff, which was stained with a lot of orange fur, and he squinted his eyes. Could it be that foxes shed their hair too?

Gu Mingzhe's method of teaching people to read is the same as before, and he still leads the reading slowly, but this time Qin Zheng didn't attend the class, and sat in his seat to continue reading "Historical Mirror". The teacher and the student did not interfere with each other, and the years seemed very be quiet.

During the lunch break, Zhao Guoxian tactfully reminded him about the little emperor's character education, and Gu Mingzhe nodded to express his understanding.

Gu Mingzhe looked at Qin Zheng who was reading, put down the book in his hand, and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that you are curious about brothels recently?"

Zhao Guoxian's eyes darkened, wishing he could rush up and strangle Gu Mingzhe to death, is there anyone who speaks so directly?

Qin Zheng was a little surprised and said, "Sir, you are also curious?"

Gu Mingzhe shook his head and said, "Knowing some useless things is a waste of effort, just like the matter of brothels, even if His Majesty understands thoroughly, it is impossible to go in in the future. What's the use of knowing more?"

Qin Zheng was slightly startled and said, "Sir, are you asking me to go to the brothel?" It seems that this vixen is still a practical vixen.

Zhao Guoxian: "..." Why was it getting worse and worse being educated by Gu Mingzhe.

"I won't go," Qin Zheng said with a frown. "As a teacher, you should set an example. How can you think about these filthy things all day long?"

Gu Mingzhe: "..."

Qin Zheng stood up the book, covered the slightly raised corners of his mouth, and continued to read this thick "Historical Mirror".

"Historical Review" tells the history of the world from ancient times to the present, mixed with the writer's point of view.Historical facts are not rare, and you can find them in any few history books, but the author's point of view is hard to find. Among them, the imperial minister's way of the emperor is very well written, and it is completely a textbook dedicated to emperors.

It's a pity that Gu Mingzhe didn't let him take "Historical Mirror" out of Hezhuzhai.Qin Zheng doesn't look like Gu Mingzhe likes to read. Since he is not allowed to take it, there are reasons for not letting him take it. The biggest reason may be that this book is very valuable, or it has some special meaning to Gu Mingzhe.

The lights were already on in the room, Qin Zheng sighed softly, put the bookmark on the book in his hand, and placed it neatly on the upper left corner of the table.

Qin Zheng walked to Gu Mingzhe's side, shook Gu Mingzhe who was already asleep, and said, "Sir, I'm going back first, you can go back to sleep."

"..." Gu Mingzhe took a deep breath and nodded, smiling very reluctantly. He has always been a good-tempered person.

Ever since that rotting corpse Sheng Fan left, Qin Zheng felt that the scenery of the whole palace had become very beautiful, and the shadows of the trees that had been gloomy had also become hazy and beautiful, so he sat on the steps, admiring the night scene all the way, and returned to Ganzhou. Qing palace.

Before going to bed, Qin Zheng secretly tied his feet with a cloth to prevent sleepwalking in the middle of the night.This worked very well. In the middle of the night, Qin Zheng struggled a few times and stopped moving.

"Dada..." There was a regular sound of stomping towards Qin Zheng's bed from far and near.

"His Majesty--"

Qin Zheng opened his eyes in a daze, fixed his eyes on Zhao Guozhong in front of him, and frowned, "Is there anything urgent at this late hour?"

Zhao Guozhong's eyes were distracted, and his expression was numb, "You should go up." As he spoke, he took two steps to the side, letting out a group of palace maids with washing tools behind him.

Qin Zheng frowned slightly. The morning court was indeed very early at about six o'clock, but the days were short and the nights were not long at the turn of summer and autumn. It was still bright outside, so which court to attend?

Zhao Guozhong suddenly lifted Qin Zheng's quilt and pulled his arm to the ground.

The rope on Qin Zheng's feet had not been untied, and his upper body fell directly to the ground.

Zhao Guozhong didn't let go, he grabbed Qin Zheng's wrist and continued to drag him forward.

"Stop!" Qin Zhenggao shouted, "Go hold the lamp."

Zhao Guozhong seemed to struggle a bit, and finally let go of Qin Zheng's hand, and obediently went to hold the lamp.

Qin Zheng adjusted his posture with difficulty and untied the knots on his feet.

After Zhao Guozhong lit the lamp, the maids and maids in the room put away the things in their hands, and then stood in two rows, all turning their heads to stare at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng rubbed his wrists, looked at the two rows of people, and found that their eyes were dull, as if they were sleepwalking with their eyes open. He pursed his lips and stared at everyone warily.

Zhao Guozhong walked in front of Qin Zheng with a positive step, and kept repeating, "Your Majesty, please wash up."

Zhao Guozhong's speech became faster and faster, and Qin Zheng felt that if he didn't wash up now, Zhao Guozhong would wash his head directly.

Qin Zheng's guess was soon verified. Zhao Guozhong suddenly stopped talking, grabbed Qin Zheng by the neck and dragged him to the shelf where the washbasin was placed, trying to push him into it.

Qin Zheng regained his senses and pushed Zhao Guozhong away, but Zhao Guozhong's strength suddenly became very strong, and it took him eight percent of his strength to push away.

The two rows of maids and servants all raised their eyebrows and stared at Qin Zheng, as if they would rush up immediately.

With so many people going up together, no matter how strong he was, he couldn't beat him. Qin Zheng took a deep breath and began to wash up.

After washing, several maids served breakfast.Qin Zheng had no choice but to sit in front of the table, and the maids and servants in the room surrounded him, staring at him for breakfast.

Qin Zheng looked at the raw rice in the bowl soaked in water, raw eggs mixed with raw meat, and the meat still smelled rancid... Qin Zheng would not eat such things even if he was killed.

He looked around at the crowd who looked like walking corpses, then suddenly stood up, pushed away the maid in front of him and ran out.

"Your Majesty has run away." Zhao Guozhong's mouth suddenly curled into a weird smile.

Everyone laughed with distorted faces, "Catch it back."

So everyone rushed out of the house and started chasing Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng met several guards and found that they were like walking corpses. He didn't dare to disturb them. He bypassed the guards and hid in a tree and slapped himself. The tragedy is that this was not a dream.

There was a strange atmosphere in the whole palace. Qin Zheng raised his head and looked at the moon in the sky, and found that today's moon seemed to be bright and clear with a trace of red light, but the red light was not obvious, and it would be impossible to see it without looking carefully. .

"Could it be... the end of the world?" Qin Zheng looked at the guards walking around below with a strange expression. Could it be that the world has changed just after he passed through?

Just when Qin Zheng was in a daze, a passing guard suddenly looked up at the number, and said mechanically, "Who is on the tree?" The other guards also looked up.

Qin Zheng was startled. He looked at the line of guards below, and suddenly jumped down from the tree. After knocking out a guard, he rolled around on the ground and ran towards a small road.There are a lot of people walking in the palace today, Qin Zheng had to hide several times before he escaped, but he couldn't stop, once he stopped, he would be surrounded by those people.

After running for an unknown amount of time, Qin Zheng arrived at Hezhuzhai. He glanced at the room and saw that the lights were still on. He was overjoyed and rushed in without knocking on the door.

Gu Mingzhe held up a ruler, and in front of him was a heavily tied cat. He looked back at Qin Zheng.

Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment, observed Gu Mingzhe carefully, and asked tentatively, "Sir?"

"Aren't you asleep?" Gu Mingzhe put the ruler aside, pushed the teapot in Qin Zheng's direction, and said, "Sit down."

Qin Zheng calmed down a bit, and sat on the chair without drinking tea. He looked at the meowing cat and frowned, "Sir?"

Gu Mingzhe poured himself a cup of tea, "Does Your Majesty know what day it is today?"

Qin Zheng thought for a long time and said, "What date?"

"Hungry Ghost Festival." Gu Mingzhe sighed, "It is said that this is the day when the gate of hell is open. A long time ago, sacrifices were held on this day. There will be another festival, after all, holding a festival means that it will cost people and money again, and the gains outweigh the losses."

Qin Zheng nodded. He hadn't heard anyone mention the ghost festival in the past two days. This vixen is quite knowledgeable.

Gu Mingzhe continued, "The yin and resentment in the palace is very deep, and it also attracts the ghosts who come out of the ghost gate. They have not been sacrificed, so they are allowed to go to the human body on this day and night, and use the human body to enjoy food. Originally, this was done for the benefit of those ghosts, but those ghosts lived poorly or died in vain, and after getting married in the palace, they rarely ate, and usually they would play tricks on people they dared not play tricks on in life."

"For example, Zhen." Qin Zheng said with a gloomy face, "Why has this matter never been mentioned?"

Gu Mingzhe took a meaningful look at Qin Zheng, "All people are upper bodyed, including the emperor. When they wake up the next day, they will only feel sore waist and leg pain. How could they know that they were upper bodyed?"

Qin Zheng opened his mouth and said after a while, "...What do you mean?"

Gu Mingzhe smiled lightly and said, "Do you have a heartbeat?"
