High energy eunuch

Chapter 46 Shadow

Xiong Mu propped himself on the ground with one hand, straightened up and glanced at Dongzi, and saw him nodding, and then said.

"When my subordinates pretended to be Old Jiang and followed the Eighth Prince, they had found out how many times he went to the South, and he and the leader of Southern Chu had long been called brothers and sisters. The rebellion was revealed, and it is not known whether the two are related. But the people under his command went to find out , It has been found out that the Eighth Prince established himself as king in Nanchu, and notices have been posted all over the counties and counties of Nanchu, and he will build his own ancestral temple in June of the new year... I am afraid that he will become emperor..."

Fu Qiu's expression was unclear, and he walked up to Dong Zi, "There are only six secret guards?"

Dongzi nodded.

"Then who is Xiong Mu sending out?"

Dongzi's eyes flashed.

Xiong Mu changed direction, knelt at Fu Qiu's feet, bowed his head and said, "It can be mobilized with the Qilin order. They are a group of soldiers raised by the late emperor, only 5000 of them."

Fu Qiu groaned, still looking at Dongzi.

Dongzi remained silent, apparently having nothing to say about the matter.But Fu Qiu was worried, so he sat down with his sleeves folded.

"Dongzi, Xiong Mu, Xue Yuanshu, Bai Chunyan, who are the other two?" Fu Qiu poured a cup of cold tea and drank, his eyes slid past the two of them one by one, staring at the blue-gray ground in the courtyard outside the door, "Think slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Cold sweat dripped from Xiong Mu's forehead, and there were more and more gray spots on the ground, Fu Qiu just pretended not to see them.

It wasn't until Dong Zi also knelt down in front of him that Fu Qiu frowned and said with a sneer, "Are you going to tell the truth, or are you going to tell a lie?"

"Subordinates dare not." Xiong Mu hurriedly kowtowed to plead guilty.

Dongzi just knelt straight, with a pair of black and blue eyes.Since the day when he left the palace, Fu Qiu was in power, but this man became more and more tired day by day.Fu Qiu's heart softened, thinking about what to say, when he heard Dongzi's hoarse voice——

"There were more than [-] hidden guards from the Qilin Tomb, and they were scattered around since childhood..."

"I know." Fu Qiu interrupted him, waving his hands impatiently.

"Then the emperor doesn't know. Bai Chunyan is not a secret guard. On the night I went to Shuozhou to stay in a hotel on the road, I asked him to come out, pretending to recall the past, and asked about the past of the Qilin Tomb. He didn't know anything, let alone the beast sculpture at the door. The pattern is to tell the emperor not to play with him."

Fu Qiu remembered that one night Dongzi fought with Bai Chunyan and was slightly injured, but he refused to say why he fought with Bai Chunyan, and he just ordered him not to get too close to Bai Chunyan.

He thought it was the place where Bai Chunyan often hangs around the fireworks, which made Dongzi afraid that he would follow suit.

I never thought it would be like this...

Fu Qiu raised his eyebrows, remembered something, and asked again, "Since you know that Bai Chunyan is not one of us, why didn't you say it then?"

Dongzi's face was as heavy as water, his facial features remained motionless, and his voice was straight and deep, "It's either his own, or someone else's. He is in charge of the Eighth Prince's shop, and I think it belongs to the Eighth Prince's side. I want to follow the vine to find out Find out where the Eighth Prince is hiding."

"Does the emperor remember the house where his subordinates kidnapped him?"

Fu Qiu said coldly, "Of course I remember, you still want to kill me."

Xiong Mu smiled awkwardly, wanted to get up, but was kicked by Fu Qiu and went back to kneeling.

"Old Jiang is cruel and cunning, and his subordinates also want to find out where the Eighth Prince is hiding..."

"Isn't that house empty?"

"Later I went back to explore, and there were still clues in the underground palace, but there was already dust in the house at that time, and I had been gone for at least four or five days." Dongzi said, his ten fingers were bent, and the knuckles were slightly white.

"Bai Chunyan wanted to kill you, but after revealing his secrets, he couldn't find him anymore."

Fu Qiu's mouth moved, he didn't remember much about that day, he woke up with a serious illness, but he didn't have much memory.

After not listening to Dongzi for a while, Xiong Mu said anxiously, "The subordinates will tell you."

Dongzi knelt down, bowing his head slightly as if making atonement.

Fu Qiu pulled his arm and made him sit down.

Dongzi refused to sit down, so he stood beside him.

If it weren't for Xiong Mu, Fu Qiu would really like to hug his waist and rub his waist for a while, the belt stretches out his waist and back, and it is true that he did not deliberately hide it from him, but he probably can't help, and there is no need to be poor Worried, I took care of it for him.Fu Qiu is not an elm-headed man, he was a little moved at the moment, knowing that Dongzi was afraid because Bai Chunyan almost killed him, so he quietly grabbed Dongzi's fingers in the sleeve of his robe and lazily hooked them.

"Tell me." Fu Qiu said.

So Xiong Mu talked about finding blueprints, shop books, etc. in the underground palace, "I left in a hurry, and I always left something behind, with the name of the shop written on it, or the seal of the craftsman. These people have to hide, but it will take time. The people sent by the subordinates are also agile, find them all, interrogate them one by one, and know that the Eighth Prince has gone to Nanchu."

"However, it was hidden deep, and it was impossible to find Nanchu after investigation. It was still missing. Just a few days after the emperor returned to Beijing, Nanchu also changed the name of the king."

Hearing this, Fu Qiufang sneered, and said, "The eighth uncle took people to attack the mob in Southern Chu, but they haven't captured them for many years, I'm afraid they have already colluded."

"Exactly." Xiong Mu remembered again, was glanced at by Fu Qiu, knelt back in embarrassment, cupped his hands and said, "There are too many things this time, the emperor can't spare a hand to take care of the south, and the subordinates come down to discuss with Brother Dongzi... "

"Yes, I don't know anything, and I have to grow a hand behind my back." Fu Qiu looked at Xiong Mu coldly.

Xiong Mu's scalp was numb, and he smiled humbly, "Didn't the emperor just come back and marry a wife again, and live a peaceful life in a few days..."

"Thank you so much more." Fu Qiu said angrily.

"Hey...not at all." Xiong Mu scratched his head and slapped himself lightly, "This subordinate is stupid..."

Fu Qiu asked Xiong Mu to stand up, and Dongzi's ears moved.

The yard was full of crushed snow and no one swept it, only the two strings of footprints were still there when Fu Qiu came.

A eunuch came in to deliver a message, and when he saw Fu Qiu was there, he hurriedly kowtowed.

The window was wide open, and Xiong Mu was no longer in the house.

"What's the matter?" Toko asked.

"The queen mother asked the steward to go."

Fu Qiu frowned, "What time is it, and you have to be on duty again? The queen mother doesn't have any capable people?" Without saying a few words, without hugging her, and wanting to tell people to leave, Fu Qiu suddenly became angry .

The little eunuch who was silent like a cicada kowtowed quickly.

"Don't make things difficult for him." The corners of Dongzi's mouth turned up slightly, and without changing his clothes, he put on a gauze hat and asked Fu Qiu to go out together.Said to the little eunuch, "You go out first."

When the eunuch was out of sight, Dongzi hugged Fu Qiu sticky for a while, his green robe wrinkled, and hurriedly backed away.

"That's enough."

Fu Qiu's face turned red, and he grabbed Dongzi's sleeve and did not let go.

"..." Dongzi turned his head helplessly, and kissed his lips for a while, his warm breath drove away the severe winter cold.

"I'll go to Zhaochun Palace to find you at night." Dongzi hurriedly buckled his belt and strode out.

After dinner, Fu Qiu went to Zhaochun Palace to sit.

After drinking three pots of tea, Fu Qiu could play the tune, but Dongzi hadn't come over yet.Fu Qiu had no choice but to ask someone to pass on the meal, and ate it first.

Fu Qiu stood looking at the newly added drum in Zhaochun Palace, which was hung on the wall.Yun Han whispered for someone to come and give instructions, and asked to go to the Queen Mother to have a look.

Fu Qiu stood in front of the drum with his hands behind his back, but his ears twitched when someone entered the door.

"The Empress Dowager got angry, and Director Yuan is now kneeling in the Empress Dowager's yard."

Fu Qiu's eyebrows twitched, "What made my mother unhappy?"

The eunuch was Dongzi's godson, Fu Qiu had seen it before, and told the truth when asked by the emperor.

"The empress dowager is anxious to ask the manager to go, and wants to tell him not to serve in the palace, but to go back to the right minister. She also intends to point him to a marriage. Before she said which girl she is from, the manager knelt down. The queen mother said If you love to kneel, go to the courtyard and kneel until dawn and go directly to the court to exchange value."

Fu Qiu's face was not very good-looking for a while, so Yun Han told the eunuch to go down first.

"Is the emperor going?"

Fu Qiu tossed the lapel of his robe and strode out the door.

Yun Han said again, "I'm afraid it's not right to go at this time."

After thinking about it, Fu Qiu regained his composure, turned his face and asked, "What do you say?"

"Your Majesty knows what the slave family said, but it's just for nothing. The chief is the third son of the right minister's family. He broke the matter in the court that day, and he will be kept in the palace. The son of the right minister will serve as a eunuch. , whether it is the manager or an ordinary father-in-law, it is not decent."

Fu Qiuyuan knew that it would not be a good thing for Wei Kun to debunk Yuan Xinpei's identity, but he didn't expect his mother's queen to come and get involved.

"He is a father-in-law..." Fu Qiu swallowed hard, and asked out of conscience, "A person who has been stabbed can still marry a wife?"

"Serious master, I'm afraid it won't work to marry the daughter-in-law of a prince or minister, but there are quite a few people who are waiting to become relatives. There is also the queen mother who is in charge, so it is inevitable that the emperor will bestow the marriage. There is always someone who is willing to be so honorable." Yun Han said.

"I won't give you a marriage." Fu Qiu said forcefully.

"The empress dowager is angry, the emperor is going over now, what do you want to say?"

Fu Qiu was stunned.

Speaking of objecting to this marriage, what is he to object to? Even if it is an emperor, it is only natural for a man to marry a woman.Fu Qiu withdrew his feet, sat down in the chair depressedly, took a sip of herbal tea, and lost all the thoughts in his head.

"Then tell me, what can I do?" Fu Qiu glanced at Yun Han, then stared out of the door again in a daze, "Should I just let him marry a wife and have children?" He smiled wryly, "I also married a wife..."

At that time, Fu Qiu couldn't help passing through his mind countless times. Dongzi said in front of him that he would not marry a wife.

A person like him, if he was the emperor, he would definitely not...

"It's different. Brother Dongzi is not the emperor. There are two older brothers."

Only then did Fu Qiu wake up, sweating coldly.

"Yes, it's not his turn to continue the family." Fu Qiu said with a smile, poured a cup of cold tea, and stood up, "Since he won't come, I will go back to the bedroom. If he is released, call someone to report."

Yun Han responded.

The silver moonlight shines on the ground, bright and peaceful.

Fu Qiu tossed and turned on the bed, woke up by the sound of snow in the middle of the night, sat up suddenly, and let out a voice——

"Come on."

He asked someone to take the cloak, dressed neatly and walked out, the eunuch hurriedly followed, and said anxiously, "It's already midnight, where is the emperor going?"

"Go to see the Queen Mother." Fu Qiu strode onto the snow-covered arch bridge without looking back.

The inner courtyard of the palace was completely silent, only the rustling of snow could be heard.

There was a candle in the queen mother's room, and the light was very dim.

There was a man kneeling on the ground, Fu Qiu walked in and saw it at a glance.He walked over, took off his cloak, and covered Dongzi with his head.

Dongzi knelt stiffly, his eyebrows were wrinkled uncomfortably, and snowflakes fell from his eyelashes.

"What is the emperor doing here?"

"If you don't come now, I'm still a bird emperor." Fu Qiu smiled, brushed off the snow scum on Dongzi's face with his fingers, and in front of the little eunuch, touched Dongzi's cold and unconscious mouth. relative.

"Help him up." Fu Qiu left a sentence, and went to knock on the door.

Dongzi was still on his knees, blinked, and then turned to ask the little eunuch, "Has the emperor been here?"

The little eunuch hurriedly handed the lantern to someone else, and came up to help him, "The emperor went in to talk to the queen mother, but Manager Yuan still can't get up, the servant will be scolded to death."

"Just now..." A deep voice came from Dongzi's resolute lips.

"The servant didn't see anything." The eunuch hurriedly lowered his head, knelt down to pat the snow on Dongzi's robe and boots.

With his cold hands wrapped in his sleeves, he looked into the room, hesitated for a moment, and decided to go in or not.

The empress dowager roared angrily from inside, "Because of a slave, at midnight, you still want to kill your own empress mother?"

A dozen or so people in the courtyard were so frightened that they bowed their heads and did not dare to make a sound, nor did they dare to look around.

Dong flipped his robe, and his knees were dark. He took two legs that were trembling when he felt a little bit of consciousness, stood firm, and walked towards the house.

The Empress Dowager Song sat on the bed with disheveled hair, and when she saw Dongzi coming in, she was so angry that her voice trembled——

"Who called you up—"

"My order." Fu Qiu said in a deep voice.

"Okay...okay...the emperor doesn't intend to recognize this mother, does he?" Two lines of hot tears ran across the round cheeks of the Empress Dowager Song, her red and thin lips trembled non-stop, and her eyes looked around.

"The empress dowager calm down." Dongzi knelt upright in front of the Empress Dowager Song's bed, bowed his head suddenly, raised his broken forehead, the blood stagnated in the wound and could not flow down.

Fu Qiu's pupils constricted, and before he could say anything to intercede, Dong Zi said to the Queen Mother, "The servant has already decided not to marry a wife the day he entered the palace. My father knows. The Yuan family is loyal to the late emperor and the emperor. Could it be that the Queen Mother can't believe it?"

Empress Dowager Song's mind was broken, and she was a little bored for a while. She wanted to hold the hairpin to her neck to frighten her son, but now that she couldn't get the hairpin, she couldn't continue the performance.

"Forget it, I want to do something good, and you all act as if I am persecuting you."

Fu Qiu comforted the Queen Mother to lie down.The empress dowager stared at the tent with round eyes, suddenly grabbed Fu Qiu's hand, raised her head, and said solemnly, "The empress does not care about the emperor's troubles in private, but she must not neglect the empress. This empress is also chosen by you. The heirs withered, and the mother had no face to go to see the late emperor."

Fu Qiu had no choice but to bite the bullet and respond first.After leaving the house, he waited outside the door for a while before seeing Dongzi come out.The blood on his forehead started to flow down, Fu Qiu felt a pain in his heart, went forward, held Dong Zi's hand, and left at the door.

Fu Qiu sat in the sedan chair, and Dong Zi walked in front with a lantern.

Fu Qiu inexplicably thought of sitting in the sedan chair with Fang Shuwan that night, but he couldn't help it, and in this life, he couldn't let Dongzi come up and sit in the same seat with him.

Just like he asked Dongzi to sit on the dragon chair, he also bounced off immediately like an electric shock.Fu Qiu silently looked at Dongzi's slightly hunched back, his eyes wandering, but the two shadows on the ground were very close, which reminded him of four words: like a shadow.

But people, as long as they walk forward, they can't get down and touch their own shadow.
