Poor monks do not break the precepts

After not being alone for a long time, there were suddenly fewer people in the room, and the two couldn't help but feel a little at a loss.After sitting in embarrassment for a while, the two suddenly asked eagerly: "Is your injury better?"

"I'm fine, the little guy's poison can't hurt me." Xu Sheng grabbed Huai Mingmo's hand, silently tucked his beard, and helped him tuck his sleeves, "Xun Kewen's medical skills are really good."

Huai Mingmo's heart was soft, and he said with a smile: "You are nervous about being poor."

Seeing that Huai Mingmo's lips were dry and peeling, Xu Sheng poured him a glass of warm water and spoke softly, almost as if he was talking to himself, "It's not right for everyone." As if thinking of something again, he frowned slightly and said : "If you don't think twice, it's hard to move an inch. It's not that because of being playful for a while, I caused so much trouble for myself, and I was played like a monkey."

After hearing this, Huai Mingmo stood up slightly, "There are not many people who can play tricks on your ignorant landlord, this Lianxin Huiji is really good at it."

"Heh, use me as a cover." Xu Sheng punched hard on the back of the Suanzhimu noble concubine's couch, humming in pain.

Huaiming Mo'er would often bump into the furniture in the house, and he has deeply experienced this pain. He took Xu Sheng's hand, gently touched the side of his fingers, and it felt very good. How could Kong Konger succeed so easily? In fact, I was negligent, thinking that she would send someone to break in, who would have thought that she would find the second best thief in the world. You didn't say that he was the grandson of Master Lu Ban."

Allowing him to hold his hand, he prevaricated in a nonchalant way: "Hey, is the news about the owner of the Tangtang Xuanji Pavilion so closed? You only need to investigate for a while, and you will know immediately, why do you want me to tell you? ?”

Choked by the words, Huai Mingmo pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly increased his strength in his hands.Knocking on the painful place felt very sore, Xu Sheng wanted to withdraw his hand, but found that Huai Mingmo's grip was very tight, and he couldn't break free with normal strength.He twisted his wrist slightly, and slickly tapped Huai Mingmo's tendons lightly, but Huai Mingmo seemed to have expected his actions, and suddenly let go of his hand, avoiding his fingers, and grabbed his backhand again.

"You, let go." Xu Sheng stared at Huai Mingmo's complacent expression, his face flushed slightly.

Huai Mingmo grinned and said, "I just let you go, but who knew you didn't back down." Gu Zhunxusheng wouldn't hurt himself, and he's acting reckless, really begs to be beaten.

After fighting like this for quite a while, the two of them still didn't stop until someone outside the house pulled up the thick curtain and came in.Ji Duorui first went to Xiyuan to look for Xu Sheng, but after a while, he went to see the situation in the Wanting Pavilion, met Xin Li by chance on the way, and learned that Xu Sheng was in the Wanting Pavilion, and that they were the only ones to get along with each other. He hesitated to come later, preferring his wife a little dull, so he dragged himself to come.

An Jingyue stood awkwardly by the door in a dilemma. Compared to Ji Duorui, she was much calmer and just rapped on the screen twice, "The imperial concubine hasn't returned yet, you two restrain yourself."

Xu Sheng withdrew his hand suddenly, got up slowly and calmly, said with a light smile: "Master Ji is here, I must have something to talk to Mr. Huai."

There is a saying that it is faster to turn your face than to turn a book. Before, you were like a child, playing with people with a clear smile, but now you suddenly change back to an elegant monk.Ji Duorui was dumbfounded, and he clicked his tongue for a long time: "Have you ever worshiped your master and learned how to change faces?"

An Jingyue burst out laughing, stepped forward and asked with concern: "Are you two feeling better? I heard from Rui that you were poisoned early in the morning, and your complexion turned blue?"

"No problem." Xu Sheng glanced at Ji Duorui calmly, with a hint of dislike for his meddling in his eyes.

Ji Duorui has always liked to speak the truth, and he was most annoyed by his second brother's twists and turns, pointing to Xu Sheng and said: "You have to promise me that this matter has nothing to do with you, I was just in front of the old lady, I've given you a ticket."

Xu Sheng couldn't bear to see it anymore, and couldn't help but suggest: "Next time, if you want to make a routine, invite the second master Ji from the mansion. Both the third master and Mr. Ji are not very competent."

Ji Duorui coughed, "I didn't want to come, but I couldn't stand the old lady's persecution. You also know that the recent accidents in the courtyard of the villa, if such a thing happens again, the Hermitage Villa really can't bear it."

Huai Mingmo gave up half of the imperial concubine's couch to Xu Sheng, and asked Ji Duorui and his wife to be aggrieved and squeezed to sit next to the imperial concubine's couch, "Ji Deqin hasn't been found yet?"

Ji Duorui sighed heavily, this is because he saw the older junior, the elder brother and the two children, Ji Deqin was mature and prudent, while Ji Deen was indifferent all day long like a hozen.Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this result. The favored one became the first traitor in the century since the establishment of Ji's family.

"If Young Master Ji is caught, what will Mr. Ji do with it?" Xu Sheng asked coldly.

Ji Deqin caused Xu Sheng a lot of stumbling blocks, and almost caused him to lose Chen Xiang. There are no fools in Ji's family. When he asked this question, everyone sitting here could smell the cold and ruthless aura.Ji Duorui weighed himself in secret, considering that his wife is not qualified enough, he smiled knowingly.

Huai Mingmo took the words and said: "Brother Deqin did this, mother will definitely not let him off lightly."

"Not lightly forgiven, nor will he be severely punished." Xu Sheng snorted dissatisfied in a cold voice: "Abolishing his martial arts and expelling him from the hidden world villa is an explanation. As for that Di Feng, the one who started it, I am afraid that he will not be extremely guilty When he dies, he will be handed over to the government, and he will run away tomorrow."

Ji Duorui frowned slightly, and from the bottom of his heart he didn't want Di Feng to be spared so lightly, and said honestly: "In today's Hidden World Villa, my second sister has too many scruples, and she can only swallow her broken teeth. "

Xu Sheng might give some face to the other members of Chang Ji's family, but when they met that one, they just didn't bother to give any face.He didn't listen to what he said, and smiled mockingly, "Mr. Ji is more worried, or the imperial concubine has complicated thoughts, and she is unwilling to tell the truth anyway. Anyone with a discerning eye can see it. There is no need to cover it up."

Separated since childhood, we can't talk about much affection. After all, Concubine Ji is his biological mother.Huai Mingmo was not very comfortable hearing this, but he was too familiar with Xu Sheng's temperament, so he said submissively: "My aunt has too many things to do with her."

Xu Sheng glanced at Huai Mingmo's face, gritted his teeth slightly, swallowed the rest of the sarcasm, and said with a light smile: "The crown prince has a long way to go, and the imperial concubine naturally has to think carefully." But he couldn't help but said: "There are many things to do. A lot, and sometimes it’s a waste of effort.”

As soon as the words came out, everyone who heard them changed their colors, but because they knew well that no one said anything, matters related to the court have always been taboo topics in martial arts, and it is not appropriate to discuss them too much.

An Jingyue said in a soft voice: "Don't you think that Tan Chiyan...speaks a bit rashly?"

When taking over Xuanji Pavilion, Tan Chiyan had already entered the palace with Mr. Ji's dowry, so Huai Mingmo didn't know much about this person.Ji Duorui interjected: "Tan Chiyan used to have such a temper, and made my second sister very angry many times."

Huai Mingmo frowned slightly, and interjected with a smile: "Mother often said that Mr. Tan is a very good person, but he has a quick temper, and his words are easy to offend people."

Carefully chewing the meaning of Huai Mingmo's words, Xu Sheng said with a light smile: "Mr. Qin is dedicated to Ji's family, I can understand."

"What charades are you two playing?" Ji Duorui asked vigilantly, waiting for an answer, and gave them both a blank look.

"It's nothing." The two suddenly chuckled and said in unison.

After keeping him for lunch, Ji Duorui still had something to do, so he said goodbye with An Jingyue, Huai Mingmo didn't try to keep him, and sent him outside the hall with a smile.When I came back, I happened to meet Xu Sheng who came out of the house, holding a red sandalwood chessboard inlaid with silver thread, and two chess boxes on the desk.

Huai Mingmo reached out to take the chess box, and said with a soft smile, "Finally, I have a chance to play a game with you."

Xu Sheng raised his jaw slightly, with a little pride, "I hope it's not just this time."

"Don't worry, I will never let you down." Huai Mingmo smiled and shook his head, holding things in both hands, it was inconvenient to move, so he lightly bumped Xu Sheng with his shoulders, "You dare to criticize others, so let's take care of your own mouth first."

Huai Mingmo blindly decides which move to play first, because he got the second move, Xu Sheng is very serious, he thinks twice before making every move, Huai Mingmo is very good at playing chess, he dare not neglect at all, and concentrates on the chessboard, Lian Xin Li came back and stood by and didn't find it.

Unable to make a move for a long time, Xu Sheng curled his fingers to pinch the warm suet white jade, "After working hard for half a day, I actually played a long-term calamity." Obviously he didn't open his mouth for a long time, but his voice was a little hoarse, as if he had exhausted all his strength. .He leaned back, his expression was as calm as a thin cloud in the clear sky, and there was a ray of joy in his brows.

Huai Mingmo picked up the sunspots according to his memory, he was not bad, and said with a light smile, "You are difficult enough to serve."

Xu Sheng helped Huai Mingmo clean up the pieces according to the order in which they were placed, and then he took the white pieces with his arm and put them into the chess box, without letting anyone take the chessboard back to his room.The weather was dry and hot, and the charcoal pot was burning in the room, and his mouth became more and more dry. He took the tea that Xin Li asked the servant girl to bring, moistened his throat, and said slowly: "It's been a long time of hard work, and it's a draw. It's boring."

After drinking the fragrant tea, Huai Ming Mo snorted and laughed, and a faint orchid fragrance wafted out, which made Xu Sheng panic for a moment, "It's just a competition to win or lose."

Xu Sheng raised his eyes to see Xin Li's hesitation to speak, turned his head to stare at Huai Mingmo's slow indifference, and said with a smile, "You're going to suffocate him."

Seeing Huai Mingmo waving his hand, Xin Li pursed his lips for a while, then scratched his head and asked in embarrassment, "Where did Chen Xiang go?"

"I don't trust Xiao Quhua and Shi Guan to go back alone, so I asked Chen Xiang to escort them." Xu Sheng rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue in secret, but he didn't hide it, and said: "She will be back in a few days, don't worry."

Xin Li was a little embarrassed by Xu Sheng's eyes, and he cleared his throat for a long while and said, "The imperial concubine is going back to the capital tomorrow, just now Miss Tang came to report, and the lady invited the pavilion master to have dinner tonight."

Huai Mingmo hesitated for a moment, and immediately asked, "Is Aunt Tang still outside?" Hearing Xin Li's response, he said, "Go and tell me that I'll go by myself later. It's so cold, there's no need Wait outside the door, and go back to life first."

The man hurried to the door, Xu Sheng asked coldly, "Is Mr. Qin in the villa?"

"After he came out of the Songzhao Studio early in the morning, he disappeared." There was a hidden sharpness in Xin Li's eyes, and he pursed his lips and said with a meaningful smile: "I just asked Aunt Tang casually, and she said that Tan Chiyan was no longer in the village. Not long after we left, he said that he had something to investigate, and he got permission from the imperial concubine, and left the manor."

After pondering for a moment, Huai Mingmo heard Xin Li's sound of opening the curtain, and sighed, "Is there really something wrong with Tan Chiyan?"

Xu Sheng knocked on the chess table with his hands, he said with a slight smile: "You know it well, you think you are confused when you think you know."

Huai Mingmo rested his head on the back of Xu Sheng's hand in distress, "Third Uncle said that he has such a personality, maybe it's you and me who made a mistake, we don't know."

Raising the other hand, Xu Sheng nodded Huai Mingmo's frown, "Concubine Ji has some things that should not be said directly, for fear of hurting the harmony of the brothers and sisters, so she borrowed Tan Chiyan's mouth to say them. But today, you can't see, Don't you feel the attitude of Concubine Ji, obviously I didn't expect him to say these words."

"Could it be that he also took refuge in Hehuanzhai? What's the benefit of doing so?" Huai Mingmo was in a daze for a long time, his doubts gradually resolved, and he said angrily, "They want to isolate mother?"

Xu Sheng stroked Huai Mingmo's brows slowly, and comforted him: "Huiji Lianxin did have the intention of provoking, but she just wanted to create a rift between the noble concubine and the Ji family. After all, people's hearts, once there is a grudge, they will have more concerns Yes. She wants the Ji family to be more hesitant when doing things, so that they can seize the opportunity at the critical moment and bring down the prince and even the imperial concubine."

Reaching out to hold the hand between his eyebrows, Huai Mingmo was a little excited, and there was a little hope in his words, "What about you? Will you make a move?"

Xu Sheng frowned slightly, raised the corners of his lips, and asked: "What do you think?"

Huai Mingmo half-sent his hands away, knowing in his heart, "If I were you, I would probably only save their lives."

Xu Sheng helped Huai Mingmo up, and said with a smile: "The imperial concubine will return to Beijing tomorrow, and I don't know when the next time you mother and son will see each other again. Get up early and go there, look at your current appearance, it is not rumored in the world. Heartless son."

Relying on supporting Xusheng to get up, Huai Mingmo didn't ask anyone to come in. He leaned his head on Xusheng, feeling a little discouraged for a while, feeling depressed in his heart, "It's not that I procrastinate on purpose, it's just that I have been alone a few times recently. Words. I can already recite them backwards, and find them annoying, thinking about my two perfunctory words, she is already tired of hearing them."

"I guess you'll be disappointed." Xu Sheng couldn't do anything about his childishness, he laughed and shook his head: "Trust me, you will definitely hear something different this time."

Huai Mingmo took the cloak that Xu Sheng handed over to him, "What did you figure out by pinching your fingers again?"

Xu Sheng dressed him up, and then helped him tie his hair according to the way he used to twist his wig. He picked out the jade crown he liked from the jewelry box and put it on for him.

Huai Mingmo sneered back: "You are a monk in Shaolin Temple, when did you go to Tongtian Temple?"

Xu Sheng smiled and sent Huai Mingmo out the door. At that time, the clouds were crimson like fire burning for thousands of miles, and the rays of light fell on Huai Mingmo's body, making him look warm and soft.Looking at Huai Mingmo's back, Xu Sheng didn't say a word even though he expected Concubine Ji Gui's purpose for looking for him, his eyes were full of trust, and he also believed that he would make a decision for himself.

Not long after sending Huai Mingmo away, before Xu Sheng stepped into the main house, a voice calling out to him came from behind him, the voice was still as chic and crisp as it was a few months ago, but there was a hint of confusion.

"Your Highness the Sixth Highness hasn't seen you for several months, but you still have the same demeanor."

Meng Xiuran waved his hands and followed Xu Sheng into the room, "If I can ask you to help me with some sarcasm, then I feel wronged, and it will be worth it."

Inviting Meng Xiuran into his room, Xu Sheng borrowed flowers to present Buddha with the dim sum prepared by Huai Mingmo, he was a little puzzled and said: "Oh? Your Highness needs my help with something? You just say it, I can do what I can, and I dare not refuse." Chen Xiang is not there Beside him, Ayu hadn't seen him today, but Xu Sheng really had some news behind him. After thinking for a moment, he guessed wildly, "But the Third Highness is in trouble?"

"No, the third brother is fine." Seeing Xu Sheng's relaxed expression, Meng Xiuran frowned, and said, "It's my eldest brother. The prince's situation... seems to be not very good."

Xu Sheng leisurely tasted a few bites of Suxin cakes, his mouth became dry, and he sipped some tea to moisten it, Fang slowly asked, "What's wrong with the prince?"

Meng Xiuran stood up a little excitedly, and said in an irritable tone, "This time is different. I received news to report that the spies said that the second brother entered the palace secretly and handed many secret letters to the emperor." He kicked the chair and stool hard. , He said angrily: "Father was furious after seeing the letter, so he asked the second elder brother to lead the guards to surround the East Palace, detain the crown prince, and block the inside and outside of the East Palace. It seems that he also sent several teachers, confidantes and close friends of the eldest brother The people who were left behind were locked up and tortured.”

"Unexpectedly." Xu Sheng said disapprovingly, and smiled again: "The Second Highness is very good at playing by ear, and the imperial concubine is going on a long journey in the palace. It is indeed a good time to do it. When Ji Guifei receives the news, hurry back. It's time to torture The confession has been obtained, and those who should be framed can also have convincing evidence. If you kill a few people vigorously, you will be able to make a death without proof. What will happen when the noble concubine returns to the palace? The imperial edict, so what if the imperial concubine returns to the palace."

Meng Xiuran was startled when he heard that, he got up anxiously and was about to leave, but Xu Sheng blocked the way, he was slightly annoyed, "You want to block my way?"

Xu Sheng saw that he was slightly angry, but he still didn't move away, and said: "So what if His Highness the Sixth Highness rushes back? People speak lightly, you can't help if you go back in a hurry."

Meng Xiuran paced back and forth, saying: "I know that I have little weight in Father's heart, but I have to rush back to help third brother." Seeing that Xu Sheng was like a rock, unmoving, Meng Xiuran knew his fists and feet Kung Fu couldn't get around Xu Sheng, he stomped his feet anxiously, "You won't let me go, do you want me to watch Second Brother enter the East Palace?"

Xu Sheng still said indifferently: "Your Highness Sixth, be safe and don't be impatient."

After confronting the person in front of him for a while, Meng Xiuran suddenly realized, "Have you already figured out a solution?"

Xu Sheng nodded, and slowly said: "Since he has Zhang Liang's plan, others have the wall ladder. It's just that I am not the one who built the wall ladder."

"Who?" Meng Xiuran frowned slightly, thought for a while and immediately understood: "Fourth brother, yes, it must be him. Now his foundation is not stable, if the eldest brother is abolished at this time, he will be impatient, and how can he just sit and wait for death?" .” After a short pause, he looked solemn, staring at Xu Shengwei for a long time, “You already knew all these things?”

Hearing the words, he was noncommittal, Xu Sheng stepped aside to get out of the way, and smiled faintly, "Even if I want to close my eyes and not look at the matter of Xishu, there will still be ear reports."

The same is true for Meng Xiuran after thinking about it. Putting aside his worries, he asked, "Is it too much to force Meng Yinghuan to deal with Meng Guangheng alone? Do you want me to go back and secretly help third brother?"

"Please trouble the Sixth Highness to hurry back for eight hundred miles overnight." Xu Sheng said in a low voice, "But it's not to make trouble, but to watch a play, just be a fisherman."

"how do I say this?"

Xu Sheng said patiently: "The evidence in Meng Yinghuan's hand is enough to prove the prince's innocence. He has a lot of people to help him figure out the Sacred Heart, and he will never make a big fuss. Most of them will cover it up and expose it. If you two You can imagine what will happen if all the courtiers find out about the matter behind your back. Needless to say, Meng Guangheng was unlucky, and you two can't hide it. In the end, both of you lost, and no one got a bargain."

"That's right." A third person's voice suddenly came from outside the house. Xin Li took the initiative to show up, and said with a light smile, "Stay still and let them fight. So what if you can figure out the holy will? No matter how well it is handled, it is always a violation of the Sacred Heart, so neither of them will benefit."

"Actually, Meng Yinghuan understands the advantages and disadvantages, and he just did it as a last resort." Xu Sheng didn't care about Xin Li's presence, and said disapprovingly: "In the end, it happened so suddenly, he messed up his position. Obviously there is a way, but it's a pity that he used a bad plan."

Because of Xin Li's appearance, Meng Xiuran was so frightened that he didn't speak for a long time, and stood by, letting Xu Sheng talk to Xin Li.Gradually hearing the meaning of Xinli's words, he said in surprise, "Huai Mingmo plans to assist my third brother?"

"The crown prince is still here, so how can I help you?" Xin Li tilted his head and smiled softly, his words were impeccable.

Knowing that he had made a slip of the tongue, Meng Xiuran didn't say any more. After chatting for a long time, he was enlightened. He clasped his fists and hurriedly left the Wanting Hall.He didn't even bother to eat dinner, so he asked the kitchen for some dry food to feed himself on the road, and rushed back to the capital overnight to report.

The author has something to say:
