Shen Gong Ji

Drowsy, as if floating in the clouds.It seemed that I woke up a few times in a vague way, and someone gave me medicine.I remember I said something, and then someone spoke in my ear, asking me to rest assured that they would take me to see the little emperor, so I was completely relieved, as if hypnotized, and fell into a coma for three days three nights.

It was early in the morning that he finally regained his senses. The sound of birdsong outside the window was rippling with coolness. He slightly opened his eyelids, and the white sunlight jumped between his eyelashes. He thought that he was in the palace, just another ordinary morning.

I blinked and saw the colored silk curtain above my head, and the brocade quilt covering my body, wrapping my hands and feet warmly.There is a slight dull pain in the temple, but the consciousness is fully awake.I turned my head and found myself in a very clean and tidy room, with no one around, only the smoke from the incense cage on the table.

I opened my mouth, feeling parched, and seeing a teapot on the table, I gathered my strength to sit up, carefully moved to the table and sat down, didn’t bother to pour water into the teacup, and greedily poured water directly at the spout drinking.After drinking a whole pot of herbal tea in one go, I felt like I was alive again.

With some energy, I began to look at this room and think about my current situation.Duan Xihe saved me, and I must be out of danger now. Although this room is clean and tidy, the utensils and furnishings are all common things, and they are more patterned, probably like an inn, right?

At this time there was the sound of the door opening, I looked up and watched Duan Xihe walk in.When he saw me, he widened his eyes, froze for two seconds, and then said, "You actually got up by yourself?!"

I smiled at him, "Xiao Duan."

He seemed to have just left, with a sword on his waist. At this time, he walked over quickly, and pulled me back to the bed without saying a word, "Lie down quickly, you almost died, do you know that?"

almost died?Is it that serious?I just feel a little groggy...

But at this moment, I was more concerned about another matter, so I quickly grabbed him and asked, "How is your Majesty doing now?"

"Didn't I already tell you that when I rescued you, he was already rescued. I took advantage of the chaos to sneak into Nanren Prison to rescue you. I wanted to take you to find him later, but I was afraid that too many people would expose the target, so I decided to take advantage of the chaos." Pass a letter to him first, I will take you out of Qiguo first, and then join him after leaving Beichuan."

Is he all right?I breathed a sigh of relief, but suddenly felt a little lost.

He was rescued before he was rescued, so did he intend to leave me in that prison?

If I hadn't asked for that piccolo, would I have died of illness in that terrible prison?

No way... He said that if I want to believe him, he must have arranged his retreat first, and then sent someone to rescue me, but because Duan Xihe came to rescue me in advance, I didn't run into the people he sent Bar?It must be like this...

I forcibly cut off my thoughts, and continued to ask him, "Then what's going on with Qiguo now? Where's Zhu Ran?"

"The covenant between Qiguo and Xiaguo has been broken." Duan Xihe chuckled, "I didn't expect that His Majesty is really brave and resourceful. I thought Zhu Ran used you to find Zhao Yanshu, but now it seems that Zhao Yanshu did it on purpose. I used you as bait to transfer to Zhu Ran."

I was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

"The day before you and Zhao Yanshu were imprisoned by Zhu Ran, Zhao Yanshu secretly asked people to release news to Xia Guo, saying that Yan Guo was actually secretly negotiating peace with Qi Guo, and that the previous alliance with Qi Guo and Xia Guo was just an illusion. Let’s first consume Xia State’s troops and relax the opponent’s vigilance, and then wait until the time is right for Qi Guo and Yan Guoguo to join forces to carve up Xia State. Just recently, Qi State’s offensive against Yan State has gradually slowed down due to the old king’s death. It has already made Xia Guo feel dissatisfied, but at this time, Xia Guo received the news that Emperor Yan and his concubine visited Qi Guo unannounced and had secret talks with the future King Qi, what do you think Xia Guo thinks?"

I was still confused at first, but the information turned around in my mind and gradually became clearer.No wonder the little emperor didn't resist at all, and he did it so grandly.As long as he has a way to keep Zhu Ran silent about his capture, then Xia Guo may think that Qi Guo is actually plotting something with Yan Guo, and they must be the first targets involved.In addition, now that Qi Guo has suspended the offensive, Xia Guoguo is already suspicious, so he will definitely fall out with Qi Guo.That's why Zhu Ran was so angry that day.I guess he imprisoned me originally to show Xia Guo.

"And our Majesty should have made such a plan a long time ago. Zhu Ran's court actually has a dark thread planted by him. This person has entered the Qi Dynasty five years ago and has completely gained Zhu Ran's trust. It is also thanks to Without him, Zhao Yanshu can escape smoothly, and then return to court in a grand manner. As a result, the covenant between Xia Guo and Qi Guo is completely broken, and there is even a tendency to fight each other. Qi Guo has to deal with Xia Guo, hunt down Zhao Yanshu, and Thorough investigation of the inside line, followed by the death of the old emperor and the ascension of the new emperor, it is really a mess." Duan Xihe said, shaking his head loudly, "Du Leng also cooperated very well, and immediately sent troops Beichuan regained the lost ground. The flustered appearance of King Beichuan and the others was just an act after a long time. It was all arranged by the little emperor. If it wasn't for the end of this game, even Piao Miao Palace wouldn't be able to see through their game of chess. .”

It turns out...it turns out that this is the little emperor's plan...

Taking risks, using himself as a bait, disrupting the country of Qi and destroying the covenant.Yan Guo unexpectedly came back to life like this.

I don't know how long he's been planning all this.From the beginning of forcing the palace to the end of this battle, everything was carried out so accurately and in place, interlocking, even if there was a mistake in one place, his life would be lost.

It seems that my participation is only to polish this game, it is almost superfluous, there is really no need to run out, let alone suffer so much... It feels completely meaningless... I thought I could protect He, in the end, was just adding to the chaos from the outside...

What method did he use to control Zhu Ran?Is it just to use the Queen?Why do I always feel more than that?

There must be some connection between him and Zhu Ran, right?

Why did Zhu Ran say before that he would accept me as his concubine?Is it to lure the little emperor to appear?

Anyway, he's fine.I shook my head, got rid of these messy conjectures, and looked at Duan Xihe again, "What about you? Where have you been these days?"

"Ah...it's a long story, so don't worry about it." He scratched his head and grinned at me.

I glared at him, "Is there anyone like you? Disappeared Geyue without making a sound, just this one sentence to dismiss me?"

He spread his hands, "It's really boring. After I separated from you that day, I went to lure the pursuers, but I didn't expect to be rescued by the people from our Misty Palace. Afterwards, they said that the palace chief summoned me, so I went to meet them The palace lord is gone. Something annoying happened in the middle, it's all about our palace, so you don't have to worry about it. It's you..." He said, but he gave me a look that seemed hesitant to speak.

I was terrified by his expression, "What do you see me doing? What's wrong with me?"

"What happened to you in Beichuan...I know everything..."

I didn't realize what he was saying at first, but after I realized it, I froze for a moment.

"Stop it." I said quickly.

He was silent, and sighed softly, "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

"Can we move on to the next topic?" I pretended to be relaxed, and pointed to my belly, "Is there anything to eat? I'm starving to death."

We didn't dare to stay longer in the inn, and planned to hurry on the road that night.In order to deceive others, Duan Xihe got a bunch of bottles and jars from nowhere, saying they were tools for disguise.I leaned my face up and let him paint and paint on my face for a long time, and then I was stupid when I looked in the mirror, and I was a completely different person, even my father probably wouldn't recognize it.

It turns out that only a slight modification of the outline of the facial features can have such a big change...

He found a carriage, let me sit in the carriage, and drove along bumps.Although there are officers and soldiers looking for and searching everywhere, we passed the border smoothly every time, and the journey was safe and sound, except for a little disturbance when we crossed the border, but Duan Xihe used some force, They led me to forcefully break through, and then entered the Zhuolu Field, gradually approaching Beichuan.

Now Beichuan has been recovered by Du Leng, so we are completely out of danger.

Duan Xihe said that he used darts to nail a note to the little emperor and the others, telling them to wait for me in Beichuan. I was a little nervous, wondering if the little emperor had received that note.

I have a lot of questions I want to ask him, but I am afraid that I will not be able to bear it after I know the answer.

Before entering the city, I washed off the disguise on my face by a pond full of narcissus.The morning dew is condensed on the yellow narcissus, and a layer of water vapor is rippling.Looking at my face reflected in the water and the long hair hanging from my neck, I suddenly felt that I was so far away from myself two years ago, and I couldn't find a trace of it anymore.The face looked haggard and pale, without the luster of youth.

I am almost 30 years old now, I have no talent, and I am not kind enough. I have experienced so many messy things in Beichuan this time. To use a hypocritical idiom to describe it, it is "remnant flowers and willows", and the little emperor He was just in his early twenties, handsome, skilled in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and such a thoughtful person.Among the colorful people around me, which one is not better than me?

I really don't seem to be good enough for him.But he yearned to get a complete him.

Would this be too wishful thinking?I have done so many outrageous things before, will I be punished?

"Yang Juntian, are you washing your face or going to the toilet? Why is it taking so long??" Duan Xihe shouted loudly over there, successfully breaking my thoughts.I find that I like to think about these things more and more recently. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and I’m starting to worry about gains and losses, right?

I cleared up my mood, put on my smiling face again, boarded the carriage and drove towards Beichuan City.
