Chapter 115, Volume 7: In the Prosperous Grass and Twilight Smoke

Zichen Palace——

The emperor took off his dragon robe, and sat on the tea table in a long brown robe, his calm and prestige face was covered with clouds. He lowered his head and raised his eyes to look at Qi Chen who was kneeling straight, thought for a while, and said heavily: "One intends to ascend to Dabao early to murder me, and the other fights at the foot of the king's city because of a man. He is really my good son, my brother."

Qi Chen's face was sullen, and he knelt with righteousness.

Seeing his face, the emperor couldn't help but stern.

"Who said that Chen'er was a soldier for men?" The old queen next to her handed the tea to her mouth, and put it down before she drank it. The soldiers will meet each other."

The emperor turned to the queen mother, and nodded humbly: "Even so, the rumors in the market cannot be ignored. Now the people are saying that Xiaoyue is a monster that confuses the king of Xin and the supernatural powers. The king of Xin even pretended to be a mere male. It's not proper to arrest people in the name of treason and avenge them publicly."

"Xiaoyue?" The old lady frowned slightly, and her long armor tapped on the jade teacup, "Is that the one who ran all over the city with a dead body in Lidu City that day?"

The emperor nodded and sighed: "It's him. Today, all the ministers in the court have played, demanding that I execute Xiaoyue to put an end to the rumors."

The old lady put down her teacup: "If you execute him, you execute him. What are you doing by making Chen'er kneel here?"

The emperor only glanced at Qi Chen from the corner of his eye, and his whole face sank again: "Hmph!"

The old lady was immediately displeased: "Poor my grandson, he was treated like you, the emperor, and he was imprisoned in the Dali Temple several times, but he didn't bear any grudges, and even risked his life to escort him, and he lost one eye. You were punished to kneel."

"The empress dowager Mingjian, it's not my son who punished him to kneel here." The emperor became anxious, glared at Qi Chen, and reprimanded, "Say it yourself!"

The old empress looked distressed: "Chen'er, quickly tell the imperial grandmother why you are kneeling?"

Qi Chen's expression remained unchanged: "I beg my father to spare Xiao Yue."

"You..." The emperor frowned, "Look at him, Queen Mother, he is so ignorant."

The old queen feigned displeasure, and said: "Chen'er, don't mess around. The folk rumors can be big or small. This matter really hurts the face of the royal family. Why not kill a Xiaoyue to quell the rumors?"

Qi Chen remained motionless: "Father, please spare Xiao Yue."

The old queen glared at the emperor who was about to get angry again, and said softly: "Didn't you find out that he had an affair with Fang Yuwu a few days ago, and ordered him to have his skin cramped? Why don't you want to now?"

Qi Chen: "The grandson repented."

"It's unreasonable!" The emperor yelled angrily, "The way of being a king can't be reversed!"

"Emperor!" The old queen hurriedly stopped him, "The royal monarchs and ministers are also father and son, so there is something you can't say properly, and besides, it was you who tacitly allowed Chen'er to bring that disaster to your side in the first place."

The emperor retorted: "I just overestimated him and asked him to learn the art of controlling soldiers. He is fine. If he fails to do so, he will shame the entire royal family."

"Emperor, that's too serious," the old lady felt that the more he said, the more he went too far, "Isn't he just a man, if he really likes you, you can follow him. Is it possible that I am a great country in southern Guangdong, and I can solve the disaster. Only by killing a little boy?"

The emperor was full of helplessness: "Queen Mother, you always protect him like this. Let's see what he looks like now that he is so proud of favors. In the battle of Xizhou, he insisted on going his own way and almost made a big mistake. If his temper is not cured, he will be lawless in the future."

"The emperor's words are somewhat generalized. In the final analysis, why is it Aijia's fault?" the old lady said.

The emperor choked for a moment, and looked at Qi Chen with hatred.

Qi Chen still knelt motionless.

The emperor sighed: "My son dare not, but the rumors among the Li people are very unpleasant, and there are complaints from the previous court, so it is very difficult for me to deal with it."

The old queen: "What's the problem? Let Chen'er marry a princess seriously. Those rumors will be self-defeating."

Qi Chen's expression was shocked immediately: "Grandmother!"

"Don't talk yet." The old lady pointed to Qi Chen, and continued, "Isn't there still a Princess Gaoxu in Changxing Bieyuan, marry her."

"This…"

Just as the emperor was about to refute, he suddenly felt that it was okay.

Since the art of controlling soldiers is now in the hands of Fang Yuwu, if you catch Fang Yuwu, you can naturally get the book of war, and Nanyue just experienced the battle of Xizhou, and it is time to recuperate and recharge your troops. Xu rebirth conflict.

Letting Qi Chen marry Lan Junyao can not only calm the current rumors, but also appease Gao Xu, and save Qi Chen from doing any more embarrassing things.

The emperor was silent for a moment, and said: "You married Lan Junyao, I pardon Xiaoyue."

Qi Chen's pupils constricted like needles: "I will not marry Lan Junyao."

This is Qi Chen's instinctive reaction, he doesn't want to marry Lan Junyao.

"Success." The emperor picked up the teacup and drank it down, "Then I will immediately issue an order to kill Xiaoyue to show the public."

Qi Chen roared: "Father!"

"Chen'er!" The old lady was full of distress, "How can I have both, I just listen to my father and don't make any more trouble."

Qi Chen opened his mouth, but remained silent.

The old queen breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that he would continue to be stubborn: "The emperor is busy with government affairs, so let Chen'er's marriage be left to Ai's family."

The emperor turned blue with anger, and said in a deep voice: "Then I will trouble the Queen Mother to worry about it."

The old empress pressed her hand to the emperor, signaling him not to be impatient, and said in a straightforward manner: "The marriage date will be left to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to choose?"

"No need." The emperor said, "To avoid long nights and dreams, I will issue an edict today, and we will get married in three days."

……

It rained heavily overnight in the capital city of Li, and the sun rose at dawn. An imperial decree was issued to three provinces and six ministries. The news of the wedding of King Xin and Princess Gaoxu permeated every corner of the capital city of Li.

The imperial edict said: "The two kingdoms of Gaoyue and Yue, the prosperity of the world trade, the marriage of the two, the phoenix of the phoenix, and the sound of Qiang Qiang. Yao, the two countries signed a Yuanyuan alliance, on the [-]th day of the eighth month, Qin and Jin will be forever married, and the whole world will celebrate together, this is yours."

In a few days, the gate of the Changxing Bieyuan was reopened. Qin Tianjian brought the internal ministers, lost ministers, bodyguards, guards, etc., to hire three books and six ceremonies, twelve pages of posts, nine treasures, a phoenix and a purple gold crown, twelve feet The phoenix tail xiapei includes coral gold collar inlaid with oriental beads, gold hairpin with inlaid beads, gold earrings inlaid with oriental beads, hundreds of gold and silver buttons each, dozens of mink and otter skins, a fox fur court dress, and a fox fur robe. One piece, a pommel horse with exquisite carvings... In addition, the coins include hundreds of pieces of jewelry, clothing materials, daily silverware, etc.

Xinwang Mansion is decorated with lanterns and festoons, with red candles and Chinese characters, red silk curtains, female officials of the House of Internal Affairs come in and out eight times, serve food and drink wine, bands set up guards of honor, horn lanterns are hung all over the wedding ceremony, everything is being prepared in an orderly manner.

But outside the hustle and bustle, in the southeast corner of the palace, only a faint noise could be heard, sometimes mixed with the wind, sometimes drowned by the wind.

Yinshuang used stones to build an open-air pot and stove in the yard, boiling the medicine secretly sent by Qi Delong, making the yard smoky.

Since the medicine was randomly prepared, the effect of the medicine was not significant, and Xiaoyue's improvement was very slow after taking it, but fortunately, he no longer had a fever.

Xiaoyue sat under the wind chimes on the eaves, leaning against the mottled pillars and closed his eyes to rest his mind. The air after the rain was full of the fragrance of soil, which made him very drowsy.

Yinshuang stepped on the mud around the medicine stove, and chirped with Xiaoyue: "The person who delivered the food just now came, which means that the prince is going to get married in the future, and it's very lively outside."

Xiao Yue clenched his hand hanging by his side slightly, frowning.

Qi Chen's wedding...

No wonder it's so loud.

Xiaoyue slowly opened his eyes, looking at the bleak weeds and the curling smoke after the rain, he always felt a little desolate, but there was only a wall separating him, and the bustle outside seemed to be unable to jump into this cold courtyard.

He suddenly heard a familiar voice, calm, gentle, and anxious.

"I don't need to marry Lan Junyao. If you beg me, I will promise you."

"Then if one day, this king does something wrong to you, will you forgive me?"

"Xiaoyue, I'm a lunatic, do you love me or not?"

"No... there will be no Jiang Yue and Li Yue, I only want you."

Xiao Yue smiled brightly.

Those things seem to have passed for a long time, as if they were so far away.

This road has gone too long and too far, Xiaoyue even forgot his original intention and why he set out.

He is too tired.

Yinshuang was still chirping about something, but Xiaoyue was only immersed in her own emotions and couldn't get out.

Suddenly, an extremely arrogant and domineering voice came from the wall on the left——

"Mingshuo, you are bold! This princess is a golden branch and jade leaf. If you dare to touch me, try and see if this princess doesn't chop off your head!"

Yue Yue'er built a ladder and climbed up to the top of the wall, yelling fiercely at the people under her feet.

Xiao Yue supported the pillar and stood up, frowned and looked at the wall: "Princess?"

He froze for a moment, thinking that Qi Chen's wedding is coming soon, so it's not surprising that Yue Ya'er came to the house.

Yue Ya'er hugged the wall, and kicked down a few times: "Get out!! Anyone who dares to touch this princess, this princess will yell indecently, and let my father destroy your nine clans!!"

Yue Ya'er yelled and turned her head, looking at Xiao Yue's haggard face, she immediately burst into tears: "Young Lord!!"

Xiaoyue was afraid that she would fall: "...be careful, princess."

Crescent moon's ladder swayed, and there was a burst of exclamation from outside the wall. It seemed that there were a lot of people.

"Brother Huang is too much, he is happy outside, leaving you here to fend for yourself, and won't let the doctor come in to see you... Wow..."

Yue Ya'er bared her big rabbit teeth and burst into tears, Xiao Yue was at a loss: "Princess...I'm fine."

In order to show that he was fine, he forced a dry cough away and raised his voice as hard as he could: "Princess, get down quickly, this wall is seriously corrupted, it's very dangerous for you to do this."

Yue Ya'er cried and threw something at Xiaoyue, but unfortunately the direction was wrong and fell into a pile of weeds, Xiaoyue could only vaguely see a bright thing.

He was about to ask Yue Ya'er what he had thrown, when he saw Yue Ya'er winking at him desperately.

Yue Ya'er: "I've already settled Chu Yu for you. I set up a grave for her at Sanliting outside the city. Don't worry... Go away!! Don't touch this princess ladder... Xiao Langjun, the imperial brother is going to marry her!" The princess of Gaoxu is gone, I know you are sad, and I am also sad, my emperor brother was not like this before, he has changed, woo woo woo..."

Xiao Yue's eyes were sour, and he smiled at Yue Ya'er: "Thank you."

Yue Ya'er threw half of her body on the wall, shedding tears: "Brother Huang, he didn't let me come to see you, he said that if he wanted to lock you up here, he would die. Don't come back either!"

Xiaoyue: "..."

"I'm leaving, I'm here to tell you, you remember to go to Sanliting, under the old pagoda tree halfway up the mountain, you must go...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Yue Ya'er fell from the wall, and Xiaoyue's chest tightened in fright due to the uproar outside, until he heard Yue Ya'er's domineering voice sounded again, Xiao Yue was slightly relieved.

Yue Yueer just came to tell him to remember to go to Sanliting?

must go……

Xiaoyue's Crescent Moon wanted to say something to him, but...

But Xiaoyue still doesn't know when he will be able to leave.

Yinshuang rummaged through the grass for a long time, and found the shiny little thing: "Brother, look!"

Xiao Yue followed the sound, and the shocking light overflowed from the depths of his pupils.

That's a key.

Why did Yue Yueer throw in a key?

Yinshuang jumped up to Xiaoyue, her big eyes were full of curiosity: "Brother, this key can't be used to open that door, right?"

Yinshuang pointed at the locked courtyard door.

Xiao Yue let out a long breath, and sat back under the pillar: "It's locked outside, we're inside, what's the use of getting the key."

Yinshuang scratched the back of her head: "It doesn't seem to be needed."

This crescent moon is also real.

Not to mention whether the door can be opened, even if Xiao Yue walks out of this courtyard, he probably won't be able to leave this cage-like mansion.

Xiaoyue thought so at first.

Xiaoyue didn't know what the key was for until nightfall, when Qi Delong's scorched exploding head protruded through the door opening.

It turned out that Fujia saw Yueyaer steal the key with his own eyes, so he found Qi Delong, and asked Qi Delong to take Xiaoyue out while the palace was mixed with people.

The door of the Jingku was pushed open, and the Jingku was dark and cold under the night, and the light of the half moon shone down coldly. Qi Delong looked at a piece of wild grass inside, shivered firmly, turned his head and bumped into Xiaoyue's hellish eyes.

Qi Delong's hair is like a scorched chicken coop: "Last night it wasn't thunder, I was catching rolling mines in the iron warehouse behind, that's it, I accidentally got a shock... Oh, don't grind, Fu Jia put things away The people in the courtyard have all left, and she is still waiting for us at the small door under the crooked tree, hurry up!"

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Yinshuang looked up at him.

Xiaoyue was stunned for a moment, and straightened the hair on her forehead: "Yin Shuang, after a while, you will go in the opposite direction from us when you get out of this door. From now on, you will learn from Mammy Fujia and live a good life."

"Brother, are you leaving?" Yinshuang repeated.

Xiao Yue nodded, and said softly, "My brother is going home, thank you Xiao Yinshuang for taking care of me these few days."

Yinshuang nodded.

"Go." Xiao Yue pushed her.

Holding the candle in her hand, Yinshuang walked out of the Jingku in three steps and walked into the dark corridor.

Xiao Yue looked up at the red light on the roof in the distance, the main courtyard of the Wangfu was still in full swing.

Qi Delong dragged him: "Let's go, Fujia can only transfer people from the East and West Second Courtyard for half an hour, we will go over there, go, ouch... Be careful, there is a pit here... this way!"

The East and West Courtyards are where the slaves live. The palace is busy, and the servants have not returned yet, and the remaining guards and guards have also been transferred away by Fu Jia under the pretext.

Xiaoyue and Qi Delong passed through the two courtyards smoothly and came to the crooked neck tree.

Fu Jia was standing under the tree. When he saw Xiaoyue, he immediately went up to him, and stuffed a bundle and a token into Xiaoyue's hands: "This is the prince's token. If you take it out of the city, no one will check you. There are some gold bars and two sets of clothes, find a place to change after you go out."

! !

Xiaoyue hugged the burden in shock, his expression could not be seen clearly under the darkness of night: "Mother, you..."

Fu Jia patted the back of his hand: "Mama isn't helping you, it won't do the prince any good if you stay, and this old slave doesn't want to see the prince do any crazy things anymore."

Xiao Yue was stunned for a long time, and Fu Jia heard his trembling breathing.

Xiao Yue said hoarsely: "Thank you."

"Let's go, kid," Fu Jia's vicissitudes of voice trembled, "Don't look back when you leave Liducheng."

Xiao Yue firmly shook Fu Jia's hand with his icy knuckles, and said, "Yes."

Chidron smacked his tongue and stomped his feet outside the door: "Hurry up, you."

Fujia: "Let's go."

Xiao Yue let go of Fu Jia's hand, and sank into the dark alley without looking back.

This door is his way of coming and going.
