The Milky Way gradually faded away, an unknown cat let out a "meow", and someone outside the house knocked on the door lightly.Li Xuehan woke up from a dream, the room was full of candles as if it were daytime, and Gao Zile was still deeply asleep beside his pillow.Li Xuehan's throat was a little itchy, Li Xuehan coughed twice, a familiar smell of blood overflowed his throat, he got up quickly and pushed open the door, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
Outside the door, Eunuch Liang held the lantern and looked at the puddle of blood on Li Xuehan's palm in astonishment, immediately put down the lantern to support him, and asked worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong?"
Gao Zile and the servants in the house were still asleep. Li Xuehan shook his head, wiped the blood from his mouth, and whispered, "It's okay."
Eunuch Liang was very worried, and said: "I'll go ask the imperial doctor..." Li Xuehan immediately stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Don't... I'm fine. Don't let them know, and don't let Your Majesty know..."
Eunuch Liang frowned in embarrassment. Seeing Li Xuehan's eyes were so determined, he had no choice but to hide the fact that he vomited blood.
At 600:[-] a.m., the sky was slightly bright, and a carriage stopped by the north gate of the palace for a while. Eunuch Liang, who was wearing water-colored plainclothes, came back with a wooden box, opened the white curtain embroidered with golden cherry blossom patterns, and handed the box to To Li Xuehan in the carriage, said: "This is your young master's salary last month, a total of [-] taels of silver."
Li Xuehan was also wearing white plain clothes at the moment. When he opened the box, he saw rows of gleaming silver. He asked in surprise, "Why is there an extra 600 taels?"
Eunuch Liang said: "It is a reward from His Majesty."
Li Xuehan asked: "Your Majesty rewarded it? Why?"
Liang Gonggong said: "The superior said that your son is gentle and virtuous, and His Majesty will reward you with 600 taels."
Li Xuehan asked in surprise: "Gentle and virtuous?" Looking at Eunuch Liang, he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?" Eunuch Liang nodded, and said, "Yes, your lord."
Li Xuehan counted the extra 600 taels of silver, and really couldn't figure out how gentle and virtuous he was?Did he do something to make the emperor think he was gentle and virtuous?
As the sky gradually turned white, Eunuch Liang drove his carriage all the way from the north gate to the south gate. After passing the south gate, he was on his way out of the palace.The carriage stopped by the back Bing gate, Eunuch Liang took a two-step wooden ladder from the rear of the carriage and placed it in front, and helped Li Xuehan get off the carriage.
The young eunuch of Shengying Palace who was waiting in front of Hou Bing Gate took the carriage back, and a brown carriage was parked in front of the gate. Eunuch Liang said: "This is the carriage that I arranged for your son when I left the palace a few days ago."
Thinking back that day, because he was out of the palace to arrange today's alms for Li Xuehan, two idiots, Li Xuehan and Gao Zile, were tricked by Concubine Du Shu into the Hall of Qiuhe without knowing it.It doesn't matter that Gao Zile was locked up overnight, but it caused Li Xuehan to ruin his reputation. Eunuch Liang felt a little guilty, and sat in the carriage with Li Xuehan, talking nothing all the way.
With the yellow curtains half-drawn, Li Xuehan looked out of the window at the view of the receding houses, lost in thought.He was thinking about what Zhong Yuanhou said in his dream last night.Of course, he didn't think about the unpleasant ones. He just thought about the phrase "I have no money to buy steamed buns" and several sentences of "I have no money", and fell into deep thought.
Why did Zhong Yuan become violent? Did he lose face because his house was ransacked?Or because I have regrets in my heart and dare not face the reality, I can only use alcohol to relieve my sorrows and beat others every day?Are all poor families in this world like this?Why start a family if you can't afford to support your family?Wouldn't the wife and children in the family suffer innocently... If Zhong Yuan had a little bit of financial support now, would he cheer up, would he stop drinking and go crazy?
But there are thousands of human natures, everyone has a different attitude towards things, and a different way to solve problems. Li Xuehan is really powerless about this. Apart from sending some money and food, he can't do anything else up.
Li Xuehan opened the silver boxes and calculated them one by one, and asked Eunuch Liang to exchange them for broken silver. According to the list of poor families that Eunuch Liang had collected before, starting from Fushou Road in Jing'an City, he distributed silver and food to one family after another.
Those families knelt at the door to thank them one by one, with tears in their eyes.Li Xuehan didn't know that the food he gave to him, which he thought was insignificant, was what they had worked hard for a year to buy.
Along the way, not only the poor have money and food, but even beggars on the street are given ten taels of silver per person.When I was about to leave the city, I passed by a Wangji sweet soup shop. Li Xuehan asked Eunuch Liang to get off the car and bought five bowls of sweet soup, and gave Boss Wang 20 taels of silver.Boss Wang ran out of the store and thanked him repeatedly. When he saw the appearance of the nobleman in the car, he couldn't help but shouted, "Thank you, sir!" Li Xuehan nodded and smiled at him. This Boss Wang was Li Xuehan's first day. The elder brother who gave him sweet soup when he entered the city.
The carriage and the two ox carts behind it carrying grain stopped and went. Eunuch Liang rented a three-story building next to the city gate according to Li Xuehan's instructions, and settled beggars and homeless tramps there. In the building, I rented the small building next door that used to be a restaurant, hired three cooks and three waiters, and started to provide free vegetarian food to passers-by every day.
In the morning, I heard from a lady who sells soy milk and fried dough sticks on the side of the road that there has been continuous rain in Peizhou recently, and the Lijiang River flooded last night. Most of the houses and shops in Sanhe Town and Linjiang Town were washed away by the flood, and the victims were displaced and suffering from hunger and cold. .Li Xuehan thought of Aunt Zhang and Daniu Liu in Sanhe Town, and planned to go out of the city to Peizhou.He counted the remaining money and thought that he could still buy some daily necessities, so he bought a batch of goods from the Chen family grocery supplier near the city gate. When the merchant heard that he was going for disaster relief, he sent an extra carriage to follow him. I also did my best in the back.
After traveling for several days, it was already the morning of the third day when Li Xuehan gave alms to the world and came to the relief hall behind Pluto Road in Peizhou.
The relief hall was staffed partly by the palace and partly by the county magistrate. With the support of Eunuch Liang, Li Xuehan got out of the carriage and saw the victims sleeping on straw mats in the thatched hut with worried faces. Some were coughing, some were crying, and some seemed to be sick. Li Xuehan felt a dull pain in his heart. Anyway, he also lived in Sanhe Town for a while, and he had feelings for Aunt Zhang and the others. Deceived, but he didn't care.
Eunuch Liang borrowed the list of victims from the guards, but he did not see the names of Aunt Zhang and Liu Daniu.Eunuch Liang was afraid that someone in the relief hall would infect Li Xuehan with the disease, so he insisted on not letting him in. In case Li Xuehan got sick, he really couldn't explain it when he returned to the palace.For this reason, Eunuch Liang had no choice but to take Li Xuehan around the house, looking for Liu Daniu and Aunt Zhang through the window, but they couldn't find them.
Li Xuehan was worried that Liu Daniu and his mother would encounter misfortune, and his mood instantly became depressed. Eunuch Liang was relieved for a long time before he looked away.
Under the shed outside the relief hall, a group of cooks were cooking vegetables and porridge. Two servants sent by Eunuch Liang and Boss Chen, together with the servants, distributed rice, clothes, quilts, towels, crispy rice and other relief items and money one by one. Every disaster victim in the relief hall stopped by to inquire about Aunt Zhang and Daniu Liu.
Li Xuehan was waiting in the carriage, and Eunuch Liang got news about Aunt Zhang and Daniu Liu from the nerd of the Qiu family who used to be next door to Aunt Zhang.I heard from the nerds of the Qiu family that Aunt Zhang helped a group of Xunguo businessmen transport secret goods for money. Liu Daniu was chased by the court during the transportation, and the carriage lost control and fell into the cliff and disappeared.Aunt Zhang was caught carrying goods at the border of Peizhou that day, and she is now being held in a cell in the Peizhou Yamen.It is said that he violated the law of the country and was executed three months later.
Li Xuehan went to the Peizhou Yamen because of this incident.
At a quarter of noon, accompanied by Eunuch Liang, Li Xuehan stepped into the Peizhou court. The county magistrate Sheng De'an came out from the back hall and greeted him with a smile. The man in purple who stepped into the courtroom.
The man in purple glanced at Li Xuehan as he walked by, and asked Sheng De'an, "Master Sheng has any guests?" Sheng De'an found out about Li Xuehan and Eunuch Liang, and said to the yamen guard at the door, "Why are you letting everyone in, and you didn't see the Seventh Prince?" come yet?!"
Li Xuehan stepped forward and said: "Master, I am from Jing'an, I have something to do..." Sheng De'an immediately interrupted: "The Seventh Prince is also from Jing'an, come here, take him out!"
Seeing that he was about to be kicked out, Li Xuehan quickly took out a gold medal from his bosom, and the yamen servant retreated knowingly, Eunuch Liang said: "This is the noble son of the palace."
Sheng De'an looked at the dragon-patterned waist card in Li Xuehan's hand, and the Seventh Prince in purple clothed beside him said, "Yo, imperial order." He made a bow to Li Xuehan, "It turns out to be your son, nice to meet, nice to meet. "
Sheng De'an's eyes were full of displeasure. Although he said that he was working for the court with the imperial salary, he had always been on good terms with the seventh prince, and the seventh prince had always been at odds with the emperor. Naturally, he didn't like the current emperor very much. Ren is the emperor's favorite male favorite, so he is very disgusted.
Li Xuehan and Eunuch Liang returned a salute together, and the Seventh Prince asked, "Why did your son come to the Yamen? Who are you going to sue?"
Li Xuehan explained: "I'm not here to sue, I want to... lead someone."
Sheng De'an replied in dissatisfaction: "Although your son is His Majesty's male favourite, you can't rely on His Majesty's favor to go wild with this official! If you want to lead people, you can lead them, because I want this official to release all the prisoners in the cell." ?! Hmph, it doesn’t matter if the county magistrate is inappropriate!”
Li Xuehan immediately said: "No, no, I only need to take one person. Zhang Ahua from Sanhe Town."
Sheng De'an patted the gavel on the case, sat on the high platform, and said angrily: "No!"
Seeing that Sheng De'an was about to drag Li Xuehan and others down again, the Seventh Prince raised his hand to stop him. After some persuasion, Sheng De'an's anger subsided slightly. For the sake of the Seventh Prince, Sheng De'an had no choice but to let his men go to the prison to take Aunt Zhang to the prison. come out.
Li Xuehan sat waiting in the hall, the Seventh Prince whispered in Sheng De'an's ear, Li Xuehan didn't know how the Seventh Prince persuaded Lord Sheng De'an, and he sincerely admired the Seventh Prince.
After waiting for a while, a woman in a state of embarrassment was escorted to the courtroom. Sheng De'an snorted coldly, stepped down from the high position, saluted the Seventh Prince, and walked into the back hall.
The woman knelt on the ground, bowed to Sheng De'an's back again and again, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, thank you for your kindness!"
The Seventh Prince waved a folding fan painted with scenes from the palace, pointed at Li Xuehan, and said, "He saved you."
The woman, Aunt Zhang, looked up and saw the slim and handsome young man in front of her. Her eyes became more and more guilty, tears fell instantly, and she kowtowed while crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong... ...I shouldn't have sold you into the palace, I shouldn't have lied to you, I'm not your mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Perhaps, when a person is about to die, he will think of his conscience and realize the mistakes he has made in his life.But so what?The mistake has already been made, and it is too late to make up for it, so I can only apologize.But how can an apology erase the traces of being hurt by oneself on the other party's heart, and who can truly forgive?Only Li Xuehan.
Li Xuehan helped Aunt Zhang up, and said softly, "It's okay...I don't blame you..."
Aunt Zhang shook her head, regretfully said: "I did too many bad things...it's all my retribution...my son..." Speaking of her son, Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered something, knelt down again, and said with tears streaming down her face Crying and begging, "Please, please help me, help me find Daniel, I don't believe he's dead, I don't believe he's dead, help me find him, okay?"
Li Xuehan nodded and said, "Okay."
Although he doesn't know how to find it, there must be someone in the palace who can help.
In order to thank the Seventh Prince for his help, Li Xuehan invited the Seventh Prince to have lunch at the Quexiang Building near the Yamen.Quexiang Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Peizhou. It was lunch time, and the building was crowded. The waiter led a group of four people up to the second floor. The second floor was still full. Someone got up at the window seat in the corner, so the waiter hurried to clean up. Well, the previous guest wiped the table clean with leftover dishes and wine, and cheerfully asked what dishes he wanted to eat.It was the first time for Li Xuehan to go to a restaurant and she didn't know how to order food. Due to his status, Eunuch Liang couldn't express his opinions rashly, so he had to let the Seventh Prince order alone.
Xiao Er quickly served a pot of wine, and the Seventh Prince wanted to respect Li Xuehan, but Li Xuehan said, "I promised Your Majesty that I will not drink anymore..." Eunuch Liang poured a cup of tea for Li Xuehan, and Li Xuehan Picking up the teacup, the Seventh Prince did not mind clinking glasses with him, and said: "It's okay to replace wine with tea."
The Seventh Prince put down the bronze wine glass and praised repeatedly: "Good wine, good wine."
The window next to the table was open, and Li Xuehan looked out the window. There was a temple directly opposite the Quexiang Building, which looked a little different from the temples I had seen on the roadside before.Because of the black paint on the walls of the temple, the inside of the temple is also very dark. Not only does it have no fairy spirit, but it gives people a gloomy feeling.
Seeing Li Xuehan's confused face, the Seventh Prince followed his line of sight and found that it was a temple. He introduced: "This is the Temple of Hades. Usually temples enshrine gods in the sky, but this Temple of Hades enshrines Ghosts and gods in the underworld..."Thinking about it, I shook my head, "It seems to be a little different from ordinary ghost temples..."
According to the Seventh Prince, there are demons, ghosts, and demons in the underworld.But it is rumored that more than 100 years ago, there was a big change in the ghost world. The soul of an unknown animal became a human ghost due to obsession.It has been uploaded for ten thousand years, and there has never been a demon in the underworld. This is the first one in history.It is said that the evil spirit transformed from obsession has extraordinary abilities, and is stronger than the ghost king in the ghost world.The king of the ghost world can't help it, and the king of the demon world and the devil world can't beat it either. After this demon has been in the underworld for several years, many demons and ghosts defeated by it bowed their heads to it and praised it as the king of the underworld.No ghosts can stop the power of Pluto in the underworld, and at that time Pluto had a bad temper and didn't know what treasure to look for, so he led a group of ghosts and ghosts to turn the underworld upside down. His throne was taken away by it, and he repeatedly gave gifts to show his favor. It is a pity that Pluto is not a ghost who is easily bribed.
The three kings failed to give gifts, so they could only cut half of their territory to it with tears in their eyes. The underworld was divided into four realms: ghosts, demons, demons, and underworld.Calculated in this way, the territory in Pluto's hands is two-thirds of the entire underworld, making him the largest and strongest king of the underworld in history.The underworld ruled by Pluto is different from the ghost world. Pluto does not interfere with the reincarnation of the souls of the dead, nor does he care about the lonely ghosts in the mortal world.The demons and ghosts in the underworld behave well under the eyes of Hades, and there will be no ghosts running out of the mortal world to scare people, unless there are exceptions.All in all, Pluto is the king who manages the people of the underworld most strictly in the underworld.In order to commemorate the legend of Pluto, some folks wrote its legend into a storybook.The script of the story was circulated among the people, and finally reached Princess Zhaokang.Princess Zhaokang brought up the trend of ghost stories, and the temples of Hades gradually increased.
As for the legend of Pluto, the common people read it from the scriptures.
The Seventh Prince waved the folding fan in his hand and sighed: "Princess Zhaokang used to come here to offer incense, unfortunately...she is no longer here..."
Xiaoer served a plate of roast goose, and Li Xuehan frowned slightly as she looked at the table of barbecued meat.The talk of Hades ended in the mourning of Princess Zhaokang's death. The Seventh Prince took a bite of the roast goose, nodded his head, and immediately dissipated his sorrow.He glanced at the diners around him, approached Li Xuehan, placed the folding fan beside their faces, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty must not let His Majesty know about the fact that your son has led someone out of the yamen with an imperial order today."
Li Xuehan originally wanted to report the matter truthfully to the emperor after returning to the palace. After all, he used the imperial order bestowed by the emperor, and the emperor had the responsibility to know. : "Why?"
The Seventh Prince lowered his voice again, and said, "That aunt transported smuggled arms back then."
Li Xuehan was startled, thinking that this is serious, and smuggling arms is a serious crime.The Seventh Prince raised his hand to signal his reassurance, and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as your son doesn't say anything, no one will know about this matter. This king has known Mr. Sheng for many years, so he will suppress this matter."
Li Xuehan paused, and said: "This... how should I thank the Seventh Prince..."
The Seventh Prince closed his folding fan and laughed, and the guard beside him took out a letter from his pocket.The Seventh Prince handed the letter to Li Xuehan, and said, "I don't ask you to repay anything. It's just that there are some things that have been hidden in my heart for many years..." Sighed, "Your Majesty and I have been together since childhood." If you don’t agree, it’s inconvenient for me to enter the palace. If you help me give this letter to the imperial concubine, it’s like... repaying my favor.”
Li Xuehan looked at the nameless sealed letter in his hand, not knowing the relationship between the Seventh Prince and Concubine Wei, so he nodded in agreement.Eunuch Liang remembered an incident in the palace and frowned slightly, but it was inconvenient to say anything in front of the Seventh Prince.
After coming out of Quexiang Tower, the Seventh Prince watched Li Xuehan's carriage go away before leaving.
The guard of the entourage asked with some concern: "If the Seventh Prince handed over the letter to him, aren't you afraid that he will complain before His Majesty?"
The Seventh Prince shook his fan, walked to the side of the pot-throwing stall, and looked at a group of children laughing and playing the pot-throwing competition, and shook his head inexplicably.
Li Xuehan traveled all the way to Kangcheng, Peizhou according to the route indicated by the Seventh Prince, and turned into the bamboo forest from the small path of Yisheng Road in Kangcheng. It is said that returning to Jing'an City from this road can avoid the congested road and reach the palace faster .
Looking at the retreating green bamboo forest outside the window, Liu Daniu used this shortcut to rush to Jing'an City, but now Liu Daniu's life and death are uncertain, and he doesn't know if he can find it, Li Xuehan sighed slightly.
There were some scattered huts in the bamboo forest. When passing by a small shop selling beef jerky, Li Xuehan remembered that the emperor liked to eat meat, and also thought of Gao Zile, so he bought two packs of beef jerky to take back.In order to turn worry into happiness, Li Xuehan got out of the car and gave 100 taels of silver when passing by an orphanage, and gave another 200 taels of silver to the nursing home when passing by a nursing home.In this way, Li Xuehan's mood finally became clear.
Inside the car, Eunuch Liang looked at the empty box and asked, "Why doesn't your lord keep some money for himself?"
Li Xuehan waved goodbye to the elderly in the nursing home with a smile, put down the curtain, and said, "It's okay, I don't have anything to buy, and it's useless to keep it. By the way, have you finished all the food for the car behind?"
Eunuch Liang said: "The division is over."
Li Xuehan smiled like a flower, and said: "It's great. I can finally go back to the palace..." She seemed to have thought of something again, and the smile on her face was slightly retracted, "Your Majesty... won't be angry?"
Li Xuehan left the palace without the knowledge of the emperor. Originally, he only wanted to go out for a day and return to the palace, but he didn't expect to hear about the flood in Sanhe Town and extended the journey to Peizhou. He could only silently think about how to follow The emperor apologized.After walking for so many days, people who didn't know thought that Li Xuehan had received his salary and eloped with Eunuch Liang.And Li Xuehan didn't know that Eunuch Liang had already informed Eunuch Yuchi before arranging to leave the palace, and now His Majesty is looking forward to it.
A book in Zhao'an Hall in the palace fell to the ground with a slap, Eunuch Yuchi stepped forward to pick it up, and put all the books on the desk aside.The emperor propped his head, closed his eyes and frowned, not thinking about food or tea, as if Li Xuehan had been away for three years, and his heart was full of longing and emptiness.
Eunuch Yuchi sighed, and said, "Your Excellency will be back soon, and now he may be on his way back to Jing'an City."
The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes were evil and fierce, as if he was holding an ice needle, and wanted to shoot the thing in front of him into an ice cellar, and said: "It's reasonable for him to go out with that surname Liang for so many days? Why don't you know how to stop him?" ?”
Eunuch Yuchi curled his lips and said, "Liang Yude is an eunuch, why should you be jealous of him?"
The emperor stared even more fiercely, and said coldly, "I'm not jealous!"
Eunuch Yuchi hehe said: "Recently, I really don't know what to say about you. No matter how much the previous emperor loved Concubine Wei, he never carried Concubine Wei around. There are carriages in the palace. Also, you always let Concubine Wei go around. I really can’t accept the fact that the Imperial Dining Room serves vegetarian food. Don’t forget that you used to eat only meat and not vegetables. I hope you can be sober. By the way, I have to remind you again that no matter how much the emperor loves anyone, he will not put his The lover is placed on his dragon bed, because the emperor has a cleansing habit, I hope you will remember this!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and Youyou closed his eyes.
Outside the door, Eunuch Liang held the lantern and looked at the puddle of blood on Li Xuehan's palm in astonishment, immediately put down the lantern to support him, and asked worriedly: "My lord, what's wrong?"
Gao Zile and the servants in the house were still asleep. Li Xuehan shook his head, wiped the blood from his mouth, and whispered, "It's okay."
Eunuch Liang was very worried, and said: "I'll go ask the imperial doctor..." Li Xuehan immediately stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Don't... I'm fine. Don't let them know, and don't let Your Majesty know..."
Eunuch Liang frowned in embarrassment. Seeing Li Xuehan's eyes were so determined, he had no choice but to hide the fact that he vomited blood.
At 600:[-] a.m., the sky was slightly bright, and a carriage stopped by the north gate of the palace for a while. Eunuch Liang, who was wearing water-colored plainclothes, came back with a wooden box, opened the white curtain embroidered with golden cherry blossom patterns, and handed the box to To Li Xuehan in the carriage, said: "This is your young master's salary last month, a total of [-] taels of silver."

Eunuch Liang said: "It is a reward from His Majesty."
Li Xuehan asked: "Your Majesty rewarded it? Why?"
Liang Gonggong said: "The superior said that your son is gentle and virtuous, and His Majesty will reward you with 600 taels."
Li Xuehan asked in surprise: "Gentle and virtuous?" Looking at Eunuch Liang, he pointed at himself in disbelief, "Me?" Eunuch Liang nodded, and said, "Yes, your lord."
Li Xuehan counted the extra 600 taels of silver, and really couldn't figure out how gentle and virtuous he was?Did he do something to make the emperor think he was gentle and virtuous?
As the sky gradually turned white, Eunuch Liang drove his carriage all the way from the north gate to the south gate. After passing the south gate, he was on his way out of the palace.The carriage stopped by the back Bing gate, Eunuch Liang took a two-step wooden ladder from the rear of the carriage and placed it in front, and helped Li Xuehan get off the carriage.

Eunuch Liang rented a three-story building next to the city gate according to Li Xuehan's instructions, and settled beggars and homeless tramps there. In the building, I rented the small building next door that used to be a restaurant, hired three cooks and three waiters, and started to provide free vegetarian food to passers-by every day.
In the morning, I heard from a lady who sells soy milk and fried dough sticks on the side of the road that there has been continuous rain in Peizhou recently, and the Lijiang River flooded last night.

The man in purple glanced at Li Xuehan as he walked by, and asked Sheng De'an, "Master Sheng has any guests?" Sheng De'an found out about Li Xuehan and Eunuch Liang, and said to the yamen guard at the door, "Why are you letting everyone in, and you didn't see the Seventh Prince?" come yet?!"
Li Xuehan stepped forward and said: "Master, I am from Jing'an, I have something to do..." Sheng De'an immediately interrupted: "The Seventh Prince is also from Jing'an, come here, take him out!"
Seeing that he was about to be kicked out, Li Xuehan quickly took out a gold medal from his bosom, and the yamen servant retreated knowingly, Eunuch Liang said: "This is the noble son of the palace."
Sheng De'an looked at the dragon-patterned waist card in Li Xuehan's hand, and the Seventh Prince in purple clothed beside him said, "Yo, imperial order." He made a bow to Li Xuehan, "It turns out to be your son, nice to meet, nice to meet. "
Sheng De'an's eyes were full of displeasure. Although he said that he was working for the court with the imperial salary, he had always been on good terms with the seventh prince, and the seventh prince had always been at odds with the emperor. Naturally, he didn't like the current emperor very much. Ren is the emperor's favorite male favorite, so he is very disgusted.
Li Xuehan and Eunuch Liang returned a salute together, and the Seventh Prince asked, "Why did your son come to the Yamen? Who are you going to sue?"
Li Xuehan explained: "I'm not here to sue, I want to... lead someone."
Sheng De'an replied in dissatisfaction: "Although your son is His Majesty's male favourite, you can't rely on His Majesty's favor to go wild with this official! If you want to lead people, you can lead them, because I want this official to release all the prisoners in the cell." ?! Hmph, it doesn’t matter if the county magistrate is inappropriate!”
Li Xuehan immediately said: "No, no, I only need to take one person. Zhang Ahua from Sanhe Town."
Sheng De'an patted the gavel on the case, sat on the high platform, and said angrily: "No!"
Seeing that Sheng De'an was about to drag Li Xuehan and others down again, the Seventh Prince raised his hand to stop him. After some persuasion, Sheng De'an's anger subsided slightly. For the sake of the Seventh Prince, Sheng De'an had no choice but to let his men go to the prison to take Aunt Zhang to the prison. come out.
Li Xuehan sat waiting in the hall, the Seventh Prince whispered in Sheng De'an's ear, Li Xuehan didn't know how the Seventh Prince persuaded Lord Sheng De'an, and he sincerely admired the Seventh Prince.
After waiting for a while, a woman in a state of embarrassment was escorted to the courtroom. Sheng De'an snorted coldly, stepped down from the high position, saluted the Seventh Prince, and walked into the back hall.
The woman knelt on the ground, bowed to Sheng De'an's back again and again, and said: "Thank you for your kindness, sir, thank you for your kindness!"
The Seventh Prince waved a folding fan painted with scenes from the palace, pointed at Li Xuehan, and said, "He saved you."
The woman, Aunt Zhang, looked up and saw the slim and handsome young man in front of her. Her eyes became more and more guilty, tears fell instantly, and she kowtowed while crying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I was wrong... ...I shouldn't have sold you into the palace, I shouldn't have lied to you, I'm not your mother, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
Perhaps, when a person is about to die, he will think of his conscience and realize the mistakes he has made in his life.But so what?The mistake has already been made, and it is too late to make up for it, so I can only apologize.But how can an apology erase the traces of being hurt by oneself on the other party's heart, and who can truly forgive?Only Li Xuehan.
Li Xuehan helped Aunt Zhang up, and said softly, "It's okay...I don't blame you..."
Aunt Zhang shook her head, regretfully said: "I did too many bad things...it's all my retribution...my son..." Speaking of her son, Aunt Zhang suddenly remembered something, knelt down again, and said with tears streaming down her face Crying and begging, "Please, please help me, help me find Daniel, I don't believe he's dead, I don't believe he's dead, help me find him, okay?"
Li Xuehan nodded and said, "Okay."
Although he doesn't know how to find it, there must be someone in the palace who can help.
In order to thank the Seventh Prince for his help, Li Xuehan invited the Seventh Prince to have lunch at the Quexiang Building near the Yamen.Quexiang Restaurant is the largest restaurant in Peizhou. It was lunch time, and the building was crowded. The waiter led a group of four people up to the second floor. The second floor was still full. Someone got up at the window seat in the corner, so the waiter hurried to clean up. Well, the previous guest wiped the table clean with leftover dishes and wine, and cheerfully asked what dishes he wanted to eat.It was the first time for Li Xuehan to go to a restaurant and she didn't know how to order food. Due to his status, Eunuch Liang couldn't express his opinions rashly, so he had to let the Seventh Prince order alone.
Xiao Er quickly served a pot of wine, and the Seventh Prince wanted to respect Li Xuehan, but Li Xuehan said, "I promised Your Majesty that I will not drink anymore..." Eunuch Liang poured a cup of tea for Li Xuehan, and Li Xuehan Picking up the teacup, the Seventh Prince did not mind clinking glasses with him, and said: "It's okay to replace wine with tea."
The Seventh Prince put down the bronze wine glass and praised repeatedly: "Good wine, good wine."
The window next to the table was open, and Li Xuehan looked out the window. There was a temple directly opposite the Quexiang Building, which looked a little different from the temples I had seen on the roadside before.Because of the black paint on the walls of the temple, the inside of the temple is also very dark. Not only does it have no fairy spirit, but it gives people a gloomy feeling.
Seeing Li Xuehan's confused face, the Seventh Prince followed his line of sight and found that it was a temple. He introduced: "This is the Temple of Hades. Usually temples enshrine gods in the sky, but this Temple of Hades enshrines Ghosts and gods in the underworld..."Thinking about it, I shook my head, "It seems to be a little different from ordinary ghost temples..."
According to the Seventh Prince, there are demons, ghosts, and demons in the underworld.But it is rumored that more than 100 years ago, there was a big change in the ghost world. The soul of an unknown animal became a human ghost due to obsession.It has been uploaded for ten thousand years, and there has never been a demon in the underworld. This is the first one in history.It is said that the evil spirit transformed from obsession has extraordinary abilities, and is stronger than the ghost king in the ghost world.The king of the ghost world can't help it, and the king of the demon world and the devil world can't beat it either. After this demon has been in the underworld for several years, many demons and ghosts defeated by it bowed their heads to it and praised it as the king of the underworld.No ghosts can stop the power of Pluto in the underworld, and at that time Pluto had a bad temper and didn't know what treasure to look for, so he led a group of ghosts and ghosts to turn the underworld upside down. His throne was taken away by it, and he repeatedly gave gifts to show his favor. It is a pity that Pluto is not a ghost who is easily bribed.
The three kings failed to give gifts, so they could only cut half of their territory to it with tears in their eyes. The underworld was divided into four realms: ghosts, demons, demons, and underworld.Calculated in this way, the territory in Pluto's hands is two-thirds of the entire underworld, making him the largest and strongest king of the underworld in history.The underworld ruled by Pluto is different from the ghost world. Pluto does not interfere with the reincarnation of the souls of the dead, nor does he care about the lonely ghosts in the mortal world.The demons and ghosts in the underworld behave well under the eyes of Hades, and there will be no ghosts running out of the mortal world to scare people, unless there are exceptions.All in all, Pluto is the king who manages the people of the underworld most strictly in the underworld.In order to commemorate the legend of Pluto, some folks wrote its legend into a storybook.The script of the story was circulated among the people, and finally reached Princess Zhaokang.Princess Zhaokang brought up the trend of ghost stories, and the temples of Hades gradually increased.
As for the legend of Pluto, the common people read it from the scriptures.
The Seventh Prince waved the folding fan in his hand and sighed: "Princess Zhaokang used to come here to offer incense, unfortunately...she is no longer here..."
Xiaoer served a plate of roast goose, and Li Xuehan frowned slightly as she looked at the table of barbecued meat.The talk of Hades ended in the mourning of Princess Zhaokang's death. The Seventh Prince took a bite of the roast goose, nodded his head, and immediately dissipated his sorrow.He glanced at the diners around him, approached Li Xuehan, placed the folding fan beside their faces, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty must not let His Majesty know about the fact that your son has led someone out of the yamen with an imperial order today."
Li Xuehan originally wanted to report the matter truthfully to the emperor after returning to the palace. After all, he used the imperial order bestowed by the emperor, and the emperor had the responsibility to know. : "Why?"
The Seventh Prince lowered his voice again, and said, "That aunt transported smuggled arms back then."
Li Xuehan was startled, thinking that this is serious, and smuggling arms is a serious crime.The Seventh Prince raised his hand to signal his reassurance, and said: "It doesn't matter. As long as your son doesn't say anything, no one will know about this matter. This king has known Mr. Sheng for many years, so he will suppress this matter."
Li Xuehan paused, and said: "This... how should I thank the Seventh Prince..."
The Seventh Prince closed his folding fan and laughed, and the guard beside him took out a letter from his pocket.The Seventh Prince handed the letter to Li Xuehan, and said, "I don't ask you to repay anything. It's just that there are some things that have been hidden in my heart for many years..." Sighed, "Your Majesty and I have been together since childhood." If you don’t agree, it’s inconvenient for me to enter the palace. If you help me give this letter to the imperial concubine, it’s like... repaying my favor.”
Li Xuehan looked at the nameless sealed letter in his hand, not knowing the relationship between the Seventh Prince and Concubine Wei, so he nodded in agreement.Eunuch Liang remembered an incident in the palace and frowned slightly, but it was inconvenient to say anything in front of the Seventh Prince.
After coming out of Quexiang Tower, the Seventh Prince watched Li Xuehan's carriage go away before leaving.
The guard of the entourage asked with some concern: "If the Seventh Prince handed over the letter to him, aren't you afraid that he will complain before His Majesty?"
The Seventh Prince shook his fan, walked to the side of the pot-throwing stall, and looked at a group of children laughing and playing the pot-throwing competition, and shook his head inexplicably.
Li Xuehan traveled all the way to Kangcheng, Peizhou according to the route indicated by the Seventh Prince, and turned into the bamboo forest from the small path of Yisheng Road in Kangcheng. It is said that returning to Jing'an City from this road can avoid the congested road and reach the palace faster .
Looking at the retreating green bamboo forest outside the window, Liu Daniu used this shortcut to rush to Jing'an City, but now Liu Daniu's life and death are uncertain, and he doesn't know if he can find it, Li Xuehan sighed slightly.
There were some scattered huts in the bamboo forest. When passing by a small shop selling beef jerky, Li Xuehan remembered that the emperor liked to eat meat, and also thought of Gao Zile, so he bought two packs of beef jerky to take back.In order to turn worry into happiness, Li Xuehan got out of the car and gave 100 taels of silver when passing by an orphanage, and gave another 200 taels of silver to the nursing home when passing by a nursing home.In this way, Li Xuehan's mood finally became clear.
Inside the car, Eunuch Liang looked at the empty box and asked, "Why doesn't your lord keep some money for himself?"
Li Xuehan waved goodbye to the elderly in the nursing home with a smile, put down the curtain, and said, "It's okay, I don't have anything to buy, and it's useless to keep it. By the way, have you finished all the food for the car behind?"
Eunuch Liang said: "The division is over."
Li Xuehan smiled like a flower, and said: "It's great. I can finally go back to the palace..." She seemed to have thought of something again, and the smile on her face was slightly retracted, "Your Majesty... won't be angry?"
Li Xuehan left the palace without the knowledge of the emperor. Originally, he only wanted to go out for a day and return to the palace, but he didn't expect to hear about the flood in Sanhe Town and extended the journey to Peizhou. He could only silently think about how to follow The emperor apologized.After walking for so many days, people who didn't know thought that Li Xuehan had received his salary and eloped with Eunuch Liang.And Li Xuehan didn't know that Eunuch Liang had already informed Eunuch Yuchi before arranging to leave the palace, and now His Majesty is looking forward to it.
A book in Zhao'an Hall in the palace fell to the ground with a slap, Eunuch Yuchi stepped forward to pick it up, and put all the books on the desk aside.The emperor propped his head, closed his eyes and frowned, not thinking about food or tea, as if Li Xuehan had been away for three years, and his heart was full of longing and emptiness.
Eunuch Yuchi sighed, and said, "Your Excellency will be back soon, and now he may be on his way back to Jing'an City."
The emperor opened his eyes, his eyes were evil and fierce, as if he was holding an ice needle, and wanted to shoot the thing in front of him into an ice cellar, and said: "It's reasonable for him to go out with that surname Liang for so many days? Why don't you know how to stop him?" ?”
Eunuch Yuchi curled his lips and said, "Liang Yude is an eunuch, why should you be jealous of him?"
The emperor stared even more fiercely, and said coldly, "I'm not jealous!"
Eunuch Yuchi hehe said: "Recently, I really don't know what to say about you. No matter how much the previous emperor loved Concubine Wei, he never carried Concubine Wei around. There are carriages in the palace. Also, you always let Concubine Wei go around. I really can’t accept the fact that the Imperial Dining Room serves vegetarian food. Don’t forget that you used to eat only meat and not vegetables. I hope you can be sober. By the way, I have to remind you again that no matter how much the emperor loves anyone, he will not put his The lover is placed on his dragon bed, because the emperor has a cleansing habit, I hope you will remember this!"
The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and Youyou closed his eyes.
