Dressed as the teacher of the Black Lotus Emperor

"What lonely man and widowed man?" Shen Qingzhuo frowned slightly, and tugged at the sleeve of the young apprentice, "Sir is discussing countermeasures with Mr. Lin, no nonsense is allowed."

Xiao Shen withdrew his gloomy gaze, turned to look at Mr., and said in a slow tone, "What countermeasures do we need to discuss in the middle of the night?"

"His Royal Highness King Jin." Lin Jinyu secretly put away the medicine bottle, cupped his hands and said with a smile, "I've heard about you for a long time."

Xiao Shen glanced at him, "So it's you."

Lin Jinyu raised her eyes, observed His Highness Prince Jin calmly, and then asked, "Master Shen, why did you say that I met His Highness, and where did you meet?"

He entered the palace as Xiao Luchi's companion when he was young, and later when King Qin left Shuodong, he seldom walked around the palace. Naturally, he had no chance to meet the seventh prince who grew up in the cold palace.

Two years ago, he entered the palace again as an errand, and His Royal Highness King Jin went to the front line in Suixi by mistake, so this should be the first time the two met.

"Ahem..." Xiao Shen couldn't help but think of the time when he disguised himself as a woman and went out of the palace, and immediately cleared his throat uncomfortably.

"Don't you remember?" Shen Qingzhuo obviously remembered the same scene, and said with a smile, "The first time we met was also the first time you and His Royal Highness Prince Jin met."

Lin Jinyu showed a trace of bewilderment, "It's the first time we meet..."

The first time he met Mr. Shen was at the night market outside the palace. He remembered that he had rescued a girl in pink at that time, but the girl had a slightly grumpy temper——

Xiao Shen said unceremoniously: "This king has never met you before, so there is no need to get close to me."

"It turned out to be you?" In a flash, Lin Jinyu finally remembered where this inexplicable sense of familiarity came from, "Are you that little lady in pink?"

Xiao Shen: "..."

"It's him, hahaha!" Shen Qingzhuo rubbed his waist and laughed, "You're right, His Royal Highness King Jin is that little lady who doesn't know what's good."

Lord Lin looked astonished, as if he couldn't accept that the little lady in pink had grown into the tall and mighty King Jin.

Xiao Shen's complexion turned black, "The matter is over, Mr. Lin, please go back, I won't send it off."

"That..." Shen Qingzhuo quickly recovered his serious expression, "Master Lin, you should go back and rest for a while, and follow the plan tomorrow."

Lin Jinyu responded, "I understand."

Before leaving, he sized Jin Wang up with an unbelievable look, and pushed the door out under the other's cold gaze.

There were only two masters and apprentices left in the room, Shen Qingzhuo went back to the desk, and wrote again, "It's so late, what's the point of coming to see sir?"

"Can't you come to see Mr. if you have nothing to do?" Xiao Shen said in a low tone, "I thought Mr. should rest, but I didn't expect there are guests in the room."

"I asked Mr. Lin to try to hold your sixth uncle tomorrow. Do you think it's a serious matter?" Shen Qingzhuo said slowly, "It's you who sneaked into the gentleman's room in the middle of the night. It's uneasy and kind."

Xiao Shen hugged the slender waist behind him, bent down and rested his chin on his husband's shoulder, and complained softly: "I can't sleep."

"Worried about tomorrow?" Shen Qingzhuo understood, and raised his hand to touch the handsome face of the young apprentice, "Don't worry, sir, I assure you that nothing will go wrong."

In fact, Xiao Shen was thinking about Mr. so much that he couldn't sleep, but he didn't tell the truth, instead he asked: "If that's the case, why can't Mr. fall asleep?"

"Maybe I slept too much during the day." Shen Qingzhuo teased himself, "Mr. is getting older, and the quality of sleep is not as good as before."

"Nonsense!" Xiao Shen tightened his arms instantly, and retorted in a serious tone, "Mr. is young, Mr. is always young in my heart."

Time flies, he has already grown from a skinny boy to a man who stands alone, but his husband is as pure and beautiful as the first time I saw him.

Time seems to have never left a trace on Mr.'s face.

Shen Qingzhuo laughed: "Forever young, forever eighteen? Mister is not an immortal monster."

Xiao Shen held the soft hand behind his back, and rubbed it on his lips reminiscently, "Sir, you will live a long life, and you will have no worries for the rest of your life."

After a slight pause, Shen Qingzhuo coaxed softly: "Okay, sir, I understand. Go back to sleep obediently, and everything will be settled tomorrow."

"I don't..." Xiao Shen hugged his body and shook, "I'll go back when my husband falls asleep."

Shen Qingzhuo couldn't resist the little apprentice, so he finally put down the brush and lay down on the bed.

Xiao Shen was sitting on the edge of the bed, staring at him with lowered eyes motionless.

"Xiao Qi, if you stare at Mister like this, Mister won't be able to fall asleep." The look on his face was hard to ignore, Shen Qingzhuo opened his eyes and smiled.

Xiao Shen patted the quilt lightly, "Then I'll tell you a bedtime story to help him sleep well."

In the past, when he couldn't fall asleep, his husband would tell him bedtime stories, although they were all unheard of anecdotes, which often made him more energetic.

"Okay, then you can tell." Shen Qingzhuo's peachy eyes slightly curved, "If you can make your husband fall asleep, you are amazing."

"Once upon a time there was a king who was very lucky to have three beautiful and lovely little princesses..." The young man deliberately lowered his voice and slowed down his speech, his mellow wine-like voice was melodious and hypnotic.

Unknowingly, sleepiness invaded, and Shen Qingzhuo's breathing gradually became gentle and even.

Xiao Shen stared deeply at his husband's beautiful and peaceful sleeping face, and after a long time, he bent down and planted a feather-light kiss on his fair and clean forehead.

"Have a good dream, my sir..."

***

In the early morning of the next day, Shen Qingzhuo got up and changed into a red flying fish suit with an embroidered spring knife on his waist.

According to Dayong's custom, the feast for the ministers was held on the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the emperor took advantage of this kindness to win over the courtiers.

After noon, Mr. Shen led Kong Qianshi to the Zichen Hall to meet the holy driver.

Emperor Guangxi was seriously ill and couldn't bear to attend the banquet, so he set up a couch in the inner hall of Fengtian Hall, and had a feast with the princes and ministers in the other hall.

After entering the palace, Concubine Yuan had already put on a bright yellow dragon robe for Emperor Guangxi, but now the emperor is as thin as a stick, and wearing the dragon robe has lost the majesty of the past.

"Your Majesty." Shen Qingzhuo knelt down and saluted, "Everything is ready."

Emperor Guangxi said weakly: "Get up."

At this moment, Eunuch Su trotted in with a panicked look, "Your Majesty! Something is wrong with your Majesty, and the imperial edict to enshrine the crown prince is gone!"

"Cough..." Emperor Guangxi coughed when he got excited, "You...you cough the imperial edict..."

"I don't know why the imperial edict disappeared!" Eunuch Su kowtowed, knowing that he had made a big mistake, "Your Majesty, forgive me!"

"Don't worry, your majesty, the edict will not be lost." Shen Qingzhuo said calmly, "Eunuch Pan, do you know where the edict is?"

Eunuch Pan, who was waiting at the side, responded: "Lord Shen, don't worry, the edict is being kept by the villain, and there will be no mistakes."

"Edict—" Eunuch Su finally realized that the situation was wrong, and stood up abruptly, "Little Panzi, how dare you—"

Shen Qingzhuo clapped his hands, and two guards with knives came in immediately outside the door, and they couldn't help but set up Eunuch Su.

"Bold!" Emperor Guangxi hadn't reacted yet, "Shen Qingzhuo, don't hurry up, get this... this dog slave..."

"The emperor calm down." Shen Qingzhuo looked at Emperor Guangxi who was leaning on the bed, "The crown prince will be established smoothly at today's banquet, but the position of crown prince may not be the one that the emperor likes."

"What are you talking about..." Emperor Guangxi showed astonishment on his face, and then said furiously, "You, how dare you cough cough cough..."

After a violent cough, Emperor Guangxi collapsed on the dragon couch out of breath.

"It's important for the emperor to take care of the dragon's body." Shen Qingzhuo took two steps forward, "I don't want the emperor to worry about the establishment of the crown prince."

Emperor Guangxi gasped for breath: "How dare you... King Qin's army is, just outside the city, if, if the one I set up today is not the fifth..."

Unexpectedly, but it seems to have been foreshadowed, Emperor Guangxi did not choose to make Chu Wang Xiao Hongyao the heir apparent.

"King Qin?" Shen Qingzhuo smiled slightly, "King Qin should still be dreaming sweetly at this moment, so don't miss him, Your Majesty."

It is true that Shuodong's army is stationed outside the city, but without Xiao Luchi's order, no one can command these tens of thousands of troops.

Emperor Guangxi rolled his eyes and almost lost his breath.

Concubine Yuan took out a pill without any surprise, and forced it into his mouth, "Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body."

"Forbidden Army...Forbidden Army!" Emperor Guangxi suddenly seized Concubine Yuan's hand with all his strength, "The three major battalions are on standby at any time... How can you, you wait for Xiaoxiao to disturb the situation!"

"Three major battalions? I wonder if the emperor still remembers the [-] elite soldiers His Royal Highness King Jin brought back from Suixi?" Shen Qingzhuo looked calm, "By the way, there are still [-] troops who just rushed back to Shengjing a few days ago. I also want to You know, the Fuxi Army, which has fought hundreds of battles on the battlefield, is the one who is better than the three battalions that are pampered and pampered?"

"Cough..." Emperor Guangxi didn't even have the strength to cough, but he had connected all the causes and consequences, "Jin Wang, Jin Wang, so it is so... so it is!"

Su Huai'an, who was restrained by Jin Yiwei, knelt down on the ground like losing his strength, "Your Majesty, this old slave doesn't know people well..."

Shen Qingzhuo stood with his hands behind his back, and persuaded in a warm voice: "Your Majesty, I don't want to see blood flow into rivers. It is the best result to establish a reserve today and avoid military confrontation."

"You, unfaithful and unfilial..." Emperor Guangxi tried his best to point at him and scolded, "Your father and brother have served the country loyally all their lives, but you dare to... bully the king and seek to usurp the throne! I was blind at the time Only when you have a good eye can you feed tigers..."

"The emperor's words are wrong. My father and brother are loyal to the Dayong royal family, and I, Shen Qingzhuo, am still loyal to the Dayong royal family. This has never changed." Shen Qingzhuo lowered his eyelashes, "The emperor has always worried that the new emperor will lose power after he ascends the throne. Now the emperor You should be happier."

Emperor Guangxi's expression turned pale: "Do you want to..."

"In order for His Royal Highness King Jin to ascend the throne in a legitimate way, the Ceremony Supervisory Committee drafted a new edict." Shen Qingzhuo turned around with a flick of his sleeves, "I'm going to summon the old Xie Ge for the emperor, and I ask the emperor to make preparations."

"You, don't even think about it—" Emperor Guangxi was about to get up from the bed excitedly, but his voice suddenly lost his voice, and he could only make a loud noise.

"Your Majesty, you can rest in peace." At this time, Concubine Yuan suddenly broke away from his hand, "Lord Shen will arrange everything properly."

Emperor Guangxi's pupils shrank suddenly, and he looked at his beloved concubine in disbelief, waving his hands like dry wood randomly in the air.

But Concubine Yuan didn't look at him again.

***

Half an hour later, Shen Qingzhuo settled Emperor Guangxi properly, and then walked slowly to the outer hall.

All the princes and ministers have entered the palace one after another, exchanging greetings in twos and threes.

This time the banquet of officials was strictly hierarchical, and the princes and ministers sat down in order according to their status. Officials below the third rank held a banquet outside the hall, except for those who made meritorious deeds or those appointed by the emperor.

"Master Shen." Sitting on the seat closest to the main seat, King Chu waved to Shen Qingzhuo.

Shen Qingzhuo smiled faintly, walked over and bowed his hands together: "What advice does His Royal Highness King Chu have?"

"Master Shen has worked hard for today's ministers' banquet." Xiao Hongyao had his usual hypocritical smile on his face, "It's just a pity that my seventh brother was absent from such a lively occasion due to illness."

"Brother San Huang, are you talking about me?" In the next moment, a deep and magnetic voice sounded from behind the two of them.

The smile froze for an instant, Xiao Hongyao blurted out: "Why did he come?"

Shen Qingzhuo's brows twitched slightly, he turned around immediately, and looked at His Royal Highness King Jin who was in the center of the hall.

At the same time, the people whispering in the hall couldn't help but fell silent.

His Royal Highness King Jin was wearing a black python robe embroidered with gold patterns, with a golden crown and hair tied up, and he was imposing. Just standing there with his hands behind his back, his whole body exuded an intimidating aura that made people dare not look directly at him.

But in those obsidian-like dark and gloomy eyes, there was a clear and tall figure reflected.

After the two looked at each other, Shen Qingzhuo bowed his hands and saluted: "His Royal Highness King Jin."

Today's only protagonist is on stage, and the show is finally about to begin.

The author has something to say:

Come on come on!The most exciting moment is finally coming!
