Si Tian Guan

Qu Shenzhou rested in the water pavilion for a while, then walked through the corner gate, and walked slowly by the lotus pond.

He can't move around in the palace at will, but he can't stay bored in the star gaze pavilion all the time, so the emperor allowed him to relax in several gardens around Shenshi, accompanied by Nanya soldiers and his little eunuch.

But being surrounded by people was not very comfortable after all, so he asked people to wait at the back of the hall, and went back after walking a few laps.

The person to see has not come yet.

Suddenly someone chuckled lightly behind the rock beside the Moon Cave Gate, it seemed that they were laughing in a low voice, and couldn't control their voice for a while.

After the sound, the people hiding behind knew that they couldn't hide, and started playing around, as if they were joking with each other.

Qu Chenzhou was standing by the railing of the lotus pond. Just as he turned his head to look over there, he saw a girl in a light green palace dress staggeringly being pushed out. When she looked up, she was looking at him and screamed. , hurriedly drilled back into the rocks to hide.

There was another burst of laughter from the other side, and several curious little heads poked out to look at him curiously.

He glanced at it a few times, and suddenly his heart skipped a beat. He stood hesitantly for a moment, turned his back and walked a few steps, but finally turned around and waved to the side.

The little maids laughed, but none of them moved until Qu Chenzhou took a few steps forward, still waving, and the girl in the green dress was pushed out just now.

Qu Chenzhou nodded to her, and called her again: "Please come here."

"Me?" The girl blushed, looked around, confirmed that she was calling her, and then moved timidly: "See... I've seen Qu Sitian."

"What's your name?"

"The servant's name is Wenlan."

"Good name." Qu Chenzhou raised his head to see the staring gazes over there, and beckoned again: "Come with me."

Wenlan was a little apprehensive. After all, she was facing a strange man. After walking a few steps, she stopped: "What orders does Qu Sitian have?"

"Wenlan, since you know who I am, listen to me."

"For me..." Wen Lan was inexplicably surprised, "Divination for me?"

Qu Shenzhou nodded.

He now has more new trust in the palace than when he first arrived, and he is much freer.

Emperor Yu also knew that if he was only divination for himself, there could only be one divination in five days, but Qu Shenzhou might get a glimpse of it from other people in the palace—just like the dry bones in the well, he no longer restrained him. He divination.

It's just that no matter who the divination is for, it must be recorded in the record.

"Yes, you have to remember," he said sternly, looking at the girl's hexagram stained with glaring blood, "Do not go out after Haishi within five days."

Wen Lan was frightened by his seriousness, and it took him a while to remember and nodded vigorously: "I understand! Thank you, Qu Sitian."

As if she had won some honor, when she ran away with her skirt in her hands, her face was red with laughter.

Qu Chenzhou couldn't laugh.

His meddling could change other people's fates. From a common sense point of view, he clearly warned Wenlan that if Wenlan would listen to him, the blood that signaled death should disappear.

But until Wenlan disappeared from sight, the color didn't fade at all.

He has been in the palace for so long that he is no longer naive, and he has long understood that the life or death of any one person may cause unexpected disturbances.

You hour has passed, and the person hasn't appeared yet, so he is not in a hurry, he often walks around the palace, and the other party will naturally come back to look for him when he has made up his mind.

Before he could leave, there were footsteps and the sound of talking and laughing outside the door of the Moon Cave.

He could hear the voice of the person in front, that was the way he wanted to go back, and it was impossible to avoid the person coming, so he honestly stopped by the lotus pond.

The people who came were not only Bo Yan who was waiting for him, but also the Queen and Concubine Yu. Seeing Bo Yan's embarrassed eyes, you can almost guess, but they just happened to meet on the way.

"I've met the empress, I've seen the concubine Yu," he bowed slightly, and bowed again: "Commander Bo."

He is not what he used to be, and the empress can't find anything out with such a shallow salute to him, but she still has it in her heart.

Originally, with the emperor's attitude, she couldn't afford to fight to find anger for herself, but her son didn't live up to it.

When she got the news, Mu Jingzhao had already taken advantage of Qu Chenzhou's opportunity to go to the mansion to divination, and graciously gave away his waistband.

How can this kind of token be given to anyone casually?How can it be accepted casually?

Angrily, she went straight to the imperial study to file a complaint, but she did not expect that after Qu Chenzhou returned to the palace, he had already presented the waist pendant together with the flowers and grass paper.

Emperor Yu listened to her lose her temper with a calm face, and actually asked people to call both Qu Shenzhou and Mu Jingzhao.

"Jing Zhao has grown up too, let him decide what is his own."

With the emperor's words, the son who failed to live up to expectations became even more courageous, and gave the waist pendant to Qu Chenzhou face to face.

At that moment, she suddenly realized her own aging and powerlessness, but she watched the things that she could control in her hands flow away like sand.

Qu Chenzhou is just a demon mirror, and many things, maybe she has long been out of control.

"What a coincidence." She stood for a while, then gradually digested the tiredness, and nodded slightly: "Qu Sitian is also here."

"Yes, I went out for a walk before dinner, and I was thinking about going back." Qu Chenzhou smiled innocently at her, and pointed backwards: "I just walked over there, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. Your empress needs me to accompany you to see it." look?"

"No need, Qu Sitian go back and rest."

Having failed to gain the upper hand in front of Qu Shenzhou several times, the queen was not willing to get too close to him, but rather out of sight and out of mind.

Qu Chenzhou saluted again, walked past her, exchanged glances with Bo Yan, and then passed by Concubine Yu.

The queen gathered herself together, and before she could take a step, she heard Concubine Yu yelling from behind, and the maid hurriedly supported her, and said repeatedly: "Your Majesty, be careful!"

Not only the Queen's gaze turned, but Qu Chenzhou also stopped, seeing Concubine Yu's appearance of wanting to cover her face with her hands but not daring to do so, she asked softly, "Your Majesty, did I scare you?"

Before Concubine Yu could speak, the queen scolded, "You're in a panic, what do you look like!"

Concubine Yu's face was pale, her breathing was unstable, and she said in a low voice: "Madam, my concubine suddenly became dizzy... I couldn't stand still for a while, it was not because of Qu Sitian."

Qu Sitian.

These three words alone are enough to make her heart beat wildly. Even if her son reprimanded her for being timid several times, she has tried her best to avoid him in the past few months.

But I didn't expect to meet him suddenly today.

Concubine Yu gradually calmed down until she was helped back to Chaoyang Palace, the blankness in her mind slowly receded, and she regained the strength to think.

"I can't do this anymore..." She said softly, struggling to get up, took out her son's token from the cabinet, and stuck it to her chest.

In fact, as early as a month ago, her son had made an arrangement and wanted to try it, but she was afraid and kept blocking it.

But now it seems that avoidance is not a long-term strategy.

Qu Shenzhou rested his hands on his pillow and looked up at the top of the pitch-black curtain. He didn't turn on the lamp, but he couldn't fall asleep at all.

Bo Yan's side went well.

It has been several years since Pei Xiao left Beijing, and it is impossible for Bo Yan not to be surprised by Fang Wuyang's appearance.

But for those who are not as mad as Liao Guangming, that conscience should also be fermented and swollen over the years.

He didn't need Bo Yan's conscience, so he was not so much trying to use Bo Yan, but rather giving Bo Yan a chance to repent, a chance to build a bridge with the Liu family.

Bo Yan needs Fang Wuyang more than they do.

He couldn't leave the palace, so he just had to point it out to Liu Chongming, but it was another person who made him feel uneasy.

It had been four days since he met Concubine Yu. When he met, he was still unable to divination to Concubine Yu. Although he was able to do it these few days, he hadn't been able to meet anyone.

Concubine Yu's expression was uncertain when she saw him several times. He naturally knew where the ghost was in Concubine Yu's heart, but he still couldn't get a glimpse of it from the hexagrams. This feeling was familiar and disturbed him.

The former King Huai made him unable to see through it like this, and he was good at taking advantage of his time of divination once every five days, otherwise how could he be ignorant of such a terrible thing as forced palace.

He suddenly remembered what Liu Chongming said last time - the main force forcing the palace was the garrison at Shiliting.

It's no wonder that I haven't met.

Qu Shenzhou turned over, he didn't know whether he thought about it for too long or it was time to sleep, his head hurt badly.

Many harsh realities remain unchanged from before.

Such as the Queen, such as King Huai, such as the garrison at Shiliting, and the news brought back by Rong Jiu'an, how many privately hidden slave troops in various places.

If you think about it optimistically, many things are much better than in the previous life, for example, he is no longer as ignorant as before, nor is he alone.

His heart skipped a beat.

Having come this far, does he still feel that he is not alone...

No matter how complicated the clues were, or how stalemate the situation was, he could calm down and unravel the cocoons step by step, but only when he thought of Liu Chongming, his mind was in chaos.

Maybe he should hate Liu Chongming, hated Liu Chongming for not trusting himself several times, how could he forget those physical pains and heart-killing actions.

But he didn't know how to hate.

Chongming's every move was arranged by him calmly, without any deviation.He guessed everything, but Chong Ming knew nothing.

In the previous life, being alive was a piercing pain for him, and Liu Chongming was his atonement and escape.

In this life, he has more important things to do, and Liu Chongming has been his stepping stone to success.

In fact... It should be Liu Chongming who hates him, hates him for cheating, hates him for not telling the truth, hates him for leaving all the reality that he has to face.

It was precisely because he had escaped once and for all that he was unable to face the hundreds of Yuan nails in the illusion, and he was shaped into a newborn him with bloody flesh.

That's why he didn't dare to face Liu Chongming, and didn't dare to think about whether Liu Chongming would go crazy if he used his body to feed demons again this time.

He never regretted entering the palace, but he didn't know how to face Liu Chongming.

There were very light footsteps coming up the stairs, and he immediately sat up, and after a while, he heard the little eunuch who was waiting downstairs whispering: "Qu Sitian, are you asleep?"

"No, what's the matter?" He put on his clothes and went to open the door.

"The emperor's father-in-law came over and told you to go over."

In the past, Emperor Yu would call him over from time to time, or ask him to stretch his muscles and bones, or chat with him about something, and let him come back when he gets sleepy.

Qu Chenzhou responded, and asked the little eunuch to come in and dress him neatly, and went down to meet the visitor.

It was indeed the father-in-law next to the emperor, and he had seen it before, but when Qu Shenzhou took a look at that person, his heart still thumped.

In order to ensure that the emperor is safe, the people around the emperor naturally need him to take care of them.

But just now, he had been worrying about Concubine Yu's matter, and suddenly there was such a person who couldn't divination in front of him, which always made him very uneasy.

When he looked back at the little eunuch guarding the gate, he already had a clear idea in his heart.

At the same time, it was also "the emperor called him to go", this situation was also experienced in the previous life.

"Qu Sitian," said the father-in-law, holding a lantern and beckoning to him with a peaceful smile, "I'm going to trouble Qu Sitian again today."

Qu Chenzhou nodded, and asked the little eunuch guarding the gate for the time

——Xu Shi three quarters.

"Qu Sitian, let's go." The man urged.

He followed and went out, standing on the steps of the Guanxing Pavilion, looking at the corners of the cornices engulfed by the night in the distance.

If someone doesn't give him peace, he doesn't mind going with the flow.

"Let's go."

Liu Chongming suddenly opened his eyes in the darkness, the sky was still dark, it was the darkest moment before dawn.

Sleeping and waking seem to be only separated by a layer of window paper, and suddenly return to reality.But his heart was beating violently, as if he was still in a nightmare.

Before he could regain his composure, there were clear footsteps appearing in the courtyard, rushing towards this side.

"Sir!"

That was the confidant he arranged in Camp Jinxiu.

The man only yelled in front of the door, and immediately opened the door and came in, standing outside the screen, breathing rapidly.

"There's news from the palace that something happened to Qu Sitian!"
