In the early morning of the next day, Xu Jingshu came to discuss with Xuanyuan Zheng about cleaning up his father and elder brother. When he opened the door, the room was empty, with no one in sight.

She went over to the bed, reached out to touch the quilt, it was already cold, Xuanyuan Zheng must have gotten up already.I just don't know where this brat went.I came back so late last night, but I was able to wake up so early today, and my energy is really good.

She sent someone to look for Xuanyuan Zheng.

After a while, the person she sent came back.But Xuanyuan Zheng didn't come back with him.

Xu Jingshu asked: "Second young master? Where is your grandfather?"

"Ma'am, the second young master is in the ancestral hall."

"The ancestral hall?" Xu Jingshu was puzzled: "It's so good, what is he doing in the ancestral hall?"

"That...Second Young Master? Master said that he will be punished to kneel."

"?"

Xu Jingshu raised her forehead, did this kid have a convulsion?What is the punishment for kneeling early in the morning?Who punished it!Is it self-punishment again?

He has been kneeling in the ancestral hall for several days, going so diligently, I am afraid that the ancestors think he is annoying!

Xu Jingshu sighed and waved her hands: "Forget it, if he wants to kneel, let him kneel. When he gets up by himself, you let him come and find me."

"Yes."

At this time, in the ancestral hall of Xuanyuan Mansion, Xuanyuan Zheng was kneeling in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Xuanyuan family.He burned incense for them when he came, and it was almost burnt out now.

Although his eyes were closed, his brows were tightly furrowed, and there was a little anger in the center of his brows, which he was holding back.He also clenched his hands tightly, and his knuckles were slightly white.

An hour ago, he woke up from a dream.The reason for waking up was his dream which seemed absurd to him and made him unable to face it directly, and the person who appeared in the dream.

He really didn't understand why he had such a dream.After all, he and His Majesty have known each other for less than a month, and they are not even considered friends, and the number of times they have met is not much. Why do you dream of him?Still... such a ridiculous dream!

hateful!

Recalling that dream, Xuanyuanzheng wanted to raise his hand and slap himself hard.How dare he miss His Majesty the Emperor?!And His Majesty the Emperor? Still a man!

His frown became tighter and tighter, as if anger was about to burst out of his chest.

How do you think about this, how absurd!

Outside the ancestral hall, a servant from the mansion came over cautiously. Seeing that Xuanyuanzheng's aura was not right, he hesitated for a while, stepped back, stood a little far away from him, and called him loudly: "Second Young Master!"

Xuanyuan Zheng slowly opened his eyes, the impatient anger in his eyes had not faded away.

He glanced back and said coldly: "What? What's the matter?"

"There is a decree from the palace, please enter the palace immediately to face the saint."

Xuanyuanzheng was taken aback for a moment, the anger in his eyes subconsciously dissipated a little, and then a trace of panic emerged.He frowned, and subconsciously clenched the corner of his clothes.

Now... to see His Majesty??

He doesn't want to go.

Or rather, he dared not go.

In his current state, he himself can't guarantee that he will go to the palace to see His Majesty later? Will he say some nonsense.Moreover, what happened last night, the dream last night, made him not know what kind of mood he should use to face His Majesty?.

He knelt and didn't get up, his lips were pursed, his head drooped a little, as if he had done something wrong?, and then he was a little overwhelmed child.

Seeing that he didn't get up, the servant reminded again: "Second Young Master, it's His Majesty who came to invite you? Eunuch He? Jin is waiting for you in the front hall of the mansion right now."

"!"

Xuanyuan Zheng turned around abruptly: "What? Eunuch Jin?! Are you sure you read it right?!"

"Yes, it is Eunuch He Jin."

"..."

Xuanyuan Zheng got up immediately, bent down and patted the dust on his knees, and then strode towards the front hall.His face looked a little anxious.

When he came to the front hall in a little panic, He Jin was waiting there.

Seeing Xuanyuanzheng approaching, he turned around and saluted respectfully: "I've seen you, General."

Xuanyuanzheng asked: "Why? Eunuch Jin came here in person, but Your Majesty? Is there...something over there? Your Majesty? Are you okay?"

After soaking in the icy lotus pond water for so long last night, Your Majesty lost weight, and I'm afraid he might feel uncomfortable.I don't know after he left last night, why? Did Eunuch Jin give it? Your Majesty? Please come to the imperial doctor for a physical examination.

He? Jin looked at the expression on Xuanyuanzheng's face, and smiled: "Young Master, you don't have to worry, Your Majesty? You are in good health. This servant is here to invite you into the palace."

"Is this what His Majesty means?"

"Naturally, His Majesty's meaning." He Jin took two steps forward: "Sir? If the general is fine, let's set off immediately."

Xuanyuan Zheng nodded: "Okay."

As soon as Xuanyuanzheng left, Xu Jingshu came into the front hall.She looked at the gate of Xuanyuan Mansion, and frowned slightly, Your Majesty? Why did you summon her family Zheng'er at this time?

It stands to reason that even if Your Majesty wants to meet, he should meet the master of Xuanyuan Mansion who will arrive in Kyoto at the latest the day after tomorrow.This kid Zheng'er is reckless, and his speech is even more thoughtless, what if he says something wrong in front of His Majesty...

Xu Jingshu couldn't help sighing, a little worried.

And Xuanyuan Zheng who was sitting in the carriage at the moment was also a little worried.It's just that what he was worried about was different from Xu Jingshu's.

He felt restless, but when he thought about it carefully, he didn't seem to have done anything substantially wrong, and he didn't understand what he was worrying about.Like a fool.

It was just a dream about His Majesty, and he was so at a loss.It's totally different from his usual style.

Xuanyuanzheng put his hands on his knees and couldn't help sighing.

When they reached the gate of the imperial palace, a carriage came out and passed the carriage that Xuanyuanzheng was riding in.

The carriage entered the palace.

Xuanyuanzheng pursed his lips, took a few deep breaths, and finally calmed down a little. His heart was full of anxiety.

The carriage stopped in front of Qingfeng Hall?

He Jin reminded from outside the carriage: "Master Xuanyuan? General, we are here, please get out of the carriage."

Xuanyuan Zheng lifted the curtain of the car and walked out.When he landed, he looked around for a while, inexplicably feeling that there seemed to be something different here.

After entering, Xuanyuanzheng looked at it carefully, and then realized what the difference he realized was referring to.

Inside and outside Qingfeng Hall? There are not many people there!

No matter if it's a guard, eunuch, or maid, when you come in this way, you will see two or three people cleaning and cleaning in the courtyard, the guards guarding the gate of the palace that you saw in the past, and many eunuchs serving in the inner courtyard of the palace. , Maid, all of them are not here at the moment.

Xuanyuan Zheng couldn't help being surprised.

He? Jin glanced at him for a while, and seeing the puzzled look on his face, he explained: "Your Majesty? Tell me, those who didn't show up when they were supposed to show up, don't show up here in the future. This Qingfeng Palace In the depths of the harem, even if there are no guards, nothing will happen."

Xuanyuan Zheng was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "Your Majesty, what are you talking about? No matter where you are, you have to be cautious."

What's more, this imperial palace is not as safe as His Majesty thought.Your Majesty? Don't you know?

He? Jin said: "Your Majesty Xuanyuan, General, maybe you can say this in front of His Majesty."

Xuanyuan Zheng looked at him.

He Jinjin explained: "The servant also tried to persuade His Majesty, but Your Majesty didn't listen. Maybe Master Xuanyuan? General, Your Majesty will consider it. Although no one comes to Qingfeng Palace on weekdays, it is His Majesty's residence after all. , Your Majesty? If so, if someone with a heart takes advantage of it... Sigh..."

Xuanyuan Zheng frowned even tighter.Yu Wenjin was writing something with his head down in front of the desk in the room, looking serious. 13579 stood by the side, looked down, and saw that he had made a mistake, so he corrected it aloud.

When He Jin walked in with Xuanyuan Zheng, Yu Wenjin just filled the paper with his subordinates.

He? Jin said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Xuanyuan? The general is here."

Xuanyuanzheng cupped his hands and saluted: "Have you seen Your Majesty?"

Yu Wenjin raised his head, his face was as gentle as ever, and there seemed to be a slight smile in his eyes.

"Ahem..." When he put down the pen in his hand and was about to get up, he couldn't help coughing twice.

Xuanyuan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and asked before He Jin: "Your Majesty? Did you catch a cold?"

He? Jin forgot to take a look at Xuanyuanzheng, raised his eyebrows lightly, but didn't say anything, cupped his hands at Yu Wenjin, and consciously exited the room.

Only Yu Wenjin and Xuanyuan Zheng were left in the room, and 13579, who was standing on the desk and looking at the paper that Yu Wenjin had just written.

Xuanyuanzheng asked again: "Your Majesty? Do you feel unwell? Do you need to call the imperial doctor?"

"It's okay," Yu Wenjin waved his hand: "It's just a little bit of cold, and occasionally coughing a few times, that's all. The imperial doctor came last night, nothing serious."

"Really?"

"Ah."

Yu Wenjin stood with his hands behind his back, and walked towards Xuanyuanzheng: "I have no time to thank you for what happened last night? Thank you, Master Xuanyuan? General, if you hadn't appeared in time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to stand and talk to you in peace today. "

"Your Majesty, you are serious. Seeing Your Majesty falling into the water, it is my duty to rescue you. Why do you need to say thank you?"

Yu Wenjin smiled, and said again: "I haven't asked yet, Mr. Xuanyuan? The general entered the palace last night. Why did you come to see me?"

Xuanyuan Zheng was taken aback for a moment, then blinked.What happened last night? Too many, he forgot to explain his purpose to His Majesty.No...Your Majesty? The situation at that time, even if he said it himself, he might not be able to listen to it.

Xuanyuanzheng collected himself, and then explained: "I sneaked into the palace last night, in fact, I wanted to apologize to Your Majesty."

"Apologize?" Yu Wenjin was puzzled: "Why do you apologize?"

"Apologize for...for what I did...for what I said..." Xuanyuanzheng lowered his head, not daring to look directly into Yu Wenjin's eyes, as if a little embarrassed and nervous.

He shook hands, and finally hung on his sides, not daring to make too much movement.

Surprise flashed in Yu Wenjin's eyes.What happened in the Acacia Tower... He drank a lot of wine and fell into a drowsy sleep, but he still remembered those things?

Yu Wenjin frowned, and carefully asked him tentatively, "What do you remember?"

"...I remember almost all of them."

"..."

This was not what Yu Wenjin expected.

It stands to reason that Xuanyuanzheng should not remember what happened at that time after drinking so much wine.He was so drunk that he couldn't stop taking slices.

Gee.

Yu Wenjin thought that Xuanyuanzheng would not remember what happened the night before, so he took Aya back to the palace and left him alone in the room.He will feel that he is not happy, which is also a normal thought.

But he was not angry.

Xuanyuanzheng carefully raised his head and glanced at Yu Wenjin, bent down and cupped his hands, and said again: "That day, the minister made a slip of the tongue after drinking, and it was really nonsense when he was unconscious. Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

Yuwen laughed lightly, and stretched out a hand to help Xuanyuanzheng.But his hand just touched Xuanyuanzheng, just a touch, but Xuanyuanzheng quickly withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, and stepped back involuntarily, and when he raised his eyes again, his eyes were full of panic.

Yu Wenjin was taken aback for a moment, frowned slightly, his smile retracted, and his expression was a bit puzzled.

He looked down at his hands, first at the palm, then at the back of the hand.Clean and clean, nothing.When I just wrote, there was no ink on it!

"you……"

"Your Majesty? Forgive me!" Xuanyuanzheng cupped his hands again: "I suddenly remembered that there was something else to do at home, so I left first and said goodbye!"

"Hey, you are..."

Before Yu Wenjin could say what he wanted to say, Xuanyuanzheng turned around and walked out without hesitation.When Yu Wenjin followed him out, he could only see from a distance the back of his striding away.

Yu Wenjin frowned, and looked down at his hand again, eyes full of helplessness and bewilderment.It's really strange, is there something unclean on his hands? !
