Tremble, mortals!

In fact, after the fact, Gong Jiu thought about a problem very seriously.Why, as a cabinet minister and the crown prince's teacher, Xie Jia, knew Ximen Chuuxue, and even said "on the rivers and lakes"?

However, looking at Master Xie Jia's serious face, Gong Jiu still didn't dare to ask in the end.As for later in the city, he heard the storyteller slapped the gavel, telling the legendary story of the seventh son of the Jiangnan Hua family known as the "Flower Young Master" who let countless women throw themselves into his arms and enjoy the blessings of everyone in his teens. Then it dawned on me or something, and that's another thing.

The novels of the Ming Dynasty began to rise, and the stories of countless characters were adapted into legends by storytellers. This is a bit more artistically processed, which is actually understandable.

The days when Gong Jiu was studying with the prince were quite comfortable, occupying the status of the son of a powerful minister, no matter how ridiculous Gong Jiu's actions were, no one would dare to touch him after all.But the teacher in charge of teaching focused on the prince and ignored him, so after more than ten days, Gong Jiu felt like a fish in water and felt very at ease.

So, when Gong Jiu suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, he froze.

why?

Because he found himself wearing a jacket, kneeling on the bed with his right knee, and stepping on the ground with his left foot, as if he was going to climb the bed.

Sleepwalking?Gong Jiu, who experienced such a miraculous event for the first time, couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, but at this moment, he suddenly realized that the matter might not be as simple as just him dreaming and going out for a stroll in the garden.

Because he held several embroidery needles in his right hand, reflecting a faint light in the moonlight streaming in from the window.

And the posture of his right hand is holding the needle and sticking it on his thigh.

The slightly sluggish brain that had just woken up suddenly interpreted the pain information from the nerve endings at this moment, and Gong Jiu howled out immediately: "Aww!!" It hurts!

Zhu Hongjing was awakened by a scream, and that extremely penetrating cry not only pierced the sky, but also pierced his eardrums.How can there be loud noises in this palace?Get up to take a look at the watch, but it's midnight, midnight.There shouldn't be such an astonishing voice, could it be that something went wrong?

"Wang An!" He called out the name of the servant, and immediately someone came in, waiting for his order.

"Change clothes for me." Zhu Hongjing got off the bed, stood up, and asked Wang An again: "Did you hear any noise just now?"

"Back to the prince, there was a scream just now, it sounds like it came from the east." After taking the clothes and clothes for Zhu Hongjing to put on, the servant replied.After all, it is the person who has followed Zhu Hongjing for many years, without saying a word, but it is the information that Zhu Hongjing really wants to get.

east?Where is the prince of Taiping Palace?Zhu Hongjing frowned.

At this time, after a panic, Gong Jiu bit the bullet and pulled out the needle stuck in her body.When I first got it through, my body was pierced like a sieve. Although the needle holes were too small to be seen, the pain was real. After only a few days, I got another new injury!

Even if it is sleepwalking, he is not the former Gong Jiu, how could he stick a needle in his body?

Most importantly, where did these needles come from?

Just as Gong Jiu was looking at the embroidery needle with some blood in his hand, there was a knock on the door.

"Shizi?" The voice was Night Breeze's.

Did his voice just now attract people's attention?At this time, Gong Jiu realized this problem belatedly. He jumped onto the bed and lay down like Fei Ye. He closed his eyes, then opened them slowly, keeping his sleepy eyes, and then made a sound that he had just woken up very hard. , asked slowly: "What's wrong?"

"...The prince is still sleeping?" Night Breeze asked again. Although she was awakened in her sleep, she remembered that the direction of the sound should come from here, right?What the hell is this Prince Taiping doing?

"Hmm." Pretending not to be sober, Gong Jiu quietly made small movements under the quilt.The needle that appeared in his hand inexplicably cannot be discovered by others.If it is plugged into the bed, if someone comes over and searches, it may be found.So Gong Jiu carefully pinned these needles to the lining of his clothes, planning to get through them first, and then find a chance to destroy them.Surely no one would search him, would he?

"Can you hear a scream?" The male voice came from outside, it was Zhu Hongjing.

Now that the boss is here, he can't wait to get up. Gong Jiu sat up, stepped on his shoes, walked to the door, opened the door, and said while yawning: "Screaming? I don't know, I always sleep It's deadly."

Zhu Hongjing looked suspiciously at the disheveled young man in front of him.However, apart from the scream just now, other suspicious things didn't seem to happen, and it was impossible for him to use any means against Prince Taiping.

However, he has already ordered someone to investigate the palace, and if there is anything unusual, the result will be available in a while.

"My lord, there are some problems in the palace, please follow me to the flower hall to rest for a while."

Want to lure him away and search his room?Gong Jiu judged, and then felt very proud - anyway, those needles were all on his body, no matter how they searched, they couldn't find them!

"Yeliang, the prince should put on his clothes first." Out of politeness, Zhu Hongjing explained this more, and then signaled Yefeng and Haoxi to dress Gongjiu with his eyes.

Who knows-

"No need!" Gong Jiu replied quickly, jokingly, those needles were pinned around his waist by him, and now he is wearing a loose middle coat so that he won't pierce himself, if there is another dress outside, the belt is so tight, He is not really a masochist, this is absolutely not allowed!However, looking at other people's strange eyes, he immediately realized that his answer was too fast, so he said in a disguised way: "Uh, it's cool to wear like this, and I haven't come out for a long time at night, so I just wear it like this, it's comfortable! "

"That's all." The more he felt that there was definitely something wrong with Gong Jiu, Zhu Hongjing still answered calmly, then turned and walked towards the flower hall.

Then, Gong Jiu experienced the refreshing coolness that made the teeth chatter.

The point is that the bastard prince actually asked Gong Jiu from time to time if he wanted to put on clothes.Although he really wanted to add more clothes, but thinking of the needles on his waist and Zhu Hongjing's unflattering expression, Gong Jiu bit the bullet and refused.

So when he arrived at the flower hall, Gong Jiu was completely stiff.

so cold.Even though he felt so in his heart, Gong Jiu still bit the bullet and pretended that nothing happened, even if he loses, he can't lose!

The palace maid quickly brought the tea, and Gong Jiu just remembered that hot tea can warm the body!Without saying a word, he took a sip from the teacup, and instantly felt the biting chill from his mouth to his stomach, and then spread to his whole body.

At this time, Zhu Hongjing's voice sounded faintly: "The prince doesn't even want to wear an outer robe. I'm afraid he likes it very cool, so I specially ordered the maidservant to prepare cold tea for the prince. It is made of snow water on plum petals. Bloom the best tea leaves, my son, taste it, but it has the fragrance of plum blossoms?"

wipe!Gong Jiu really wanted to swear, but he forced a smile and replied: "Hehehe, of course I like it." After speaking, he took another sip.You can lose anything, but you can't lose face!

"The prince should drink more." Zhu Hongjing shook the steaming tea in his hand, and took a sip happily.Looking at Gong Jiu's subtle expression, he felt secretly refreshed, but he accepted it as soon as he saw it, and after saying the last sentence, he quietly waited for someone to report what he found.However, the smile on the corner of his mouth, no matter how you look at it, you think it's cheap.
