Zhou Tian walked into the familiar Prince's Palace. Before Eunuch Lu could kneel down, he directly asked him to stand up and asked hurriedly: "Is there any news about His Second Highness?"
Su Yi immediately helped the emperor take off his clothes that were stained with mud and rain.
Sun Qingmu went to prepare warm water for the emperor to calm his face.
Shen Fei went to get the robe left in the Prince's Palace.
Zi Cheshi poured her a cup of warm tea.
Eunuch Lu didn't pay attention to them, and his face was slightly excited: "I found out that a palace maid saw the stout woman who passed away half a month ago. She went to the refectory to ask for soup. She asked for it for several days and even grabbed her. Medicine." Because the mother-in-law passed away half a month ago, the palace people thought it was an abnormal reaction caused by her discomfort and did not pay attention to it, so they went through many twists and turns.
The slaves' disciples reported that the "medicine" that the old woman had taken was not for adults, but that she was serving a group of embroiderers invited for the birth of His Highness. She was serving girls from the Liu family in Heluo City. , a palace official said that they heard faint noises in Miss Liu’s room in the middle of the night, but no one mentioned it at first, because the noises were as small as kittens, so they didn’t pay attention.[
Now that the servant had doubts, he asked them one by one, and the palace personnel explained them one by one. The servant felt that maybe His Highness the Second Highness is still alive. His Highness the Second Highness must be still alive and was taken out! Your Majesty! Your Highness the Second Highness is still alive!" As he said this, he suddenly became old. I burst into tears and choked with sobs, and finally found out: "Your Majesty, great blessings to heaven! Long live my Emperor! Long live your Majesty!"
Zi Cheshi, Sun Qingmu, Shen Fei, and Su Yi were all moved indescribably, and they all knelt down: "Long live my emperor, long live the emperor!"
Zhou Tian had tears in his eyes. He was alive. He must be alive. Zhou Tian asked Sun Qingmu, who was closest to him, to stand up and throw himself on him to cry. While crying, he beat him: "What are you doing kneeling down? You can't even touch anyone, Shen." Fei, please quickly ask your people to go to Heluo City to inquire, that Miss Liu took His Highness away."
Several people were amused by Zhou Tian and stood up one after another.
Eunuch Lu wiped away his tears: "Hey, I asked Concubine Shen to check it out for Miss Liu's family, and see if she dares to steal it from His Highness and make the Emperor anxious!"
Zhou Tian hurriedly said: "Don't." He sniffed and rubbed his nose on Sun Qingmu's shoulder, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "Don't embarrass her. Maybe she heard the noise and saved His Highness. If Po Wen missed the child at that time, If you speak out, you will think that the child is gone, and we have to thank them."
Zi Cheshi nodded: "I was negligent. I should have waited two more days so that this would not have happened. I beg the emperor to punish me -" He knelt down as he spoke.
Zhou Tian quickly helped him up: "What are you talking about? I don't understand my own situation. I took too much medicine and the recovery time was short. It is inherently dangerous, not to mention there are two of them. We should thank you." , I never took them to thank you properly. When I find His Highness, I will treat you to dinner."
Sun Qingmu took a step forward, his handsome eyebrows slightly curved: "What the emperor said is beyond the pale. It's just a family talking about thanking each other."
Shen Fei glanced at Zi Che Shi and nodded: "Young Master Zi Che has worked hard for the Emperor, but the Emperor is not moved. If he is a minor minister, he must not be the one who refuses to marry like this."
Seeing that the situation was over, Su Yi could only make the emperor happy. He could see that the emperor still favored the people she met in Zhixia, not to mention that she was originally with Young Master Ziche: "Young Master Ziche will call me eldest brother from now on."
When Sun Qingmu and Shen Fei heard this, their face suddenly froze in discomfort, thinking to themselves, you really dare to speak, and your words hit the point.
Su Yi didn't realize that something was wrong. Regardless of his rank, he had to consider his seniority. He only entered the palace a few months later than Sun Qingmu and stayed in the harem for nine years. Why shouldn't the people who came after him be called brother?
Zi Cheshi coughed awkwardly: "Your Majesty is tired after being active for a long time. Eunuch Lu will prepare some food."
"Yes, Mr. Che."[
Zhou Tian looked at Zi Cheshi who didn't refute Su Yi's words, and felt a little sad for him. When he first came to Shengdu, he never thought of the current situation, let alone shared it with others. There was no reason for Zhou Tian to He is not worth it. When I first met him, he was like Qiukai's spirit. Although he had no airs, his aura was definitely not to prepare for entering the palace.
But now that she was so proud that she even had the ability to threaten her son Cheshi, she was willing to let it go. What was so good about her? Sometimes she didn't even have the face to face him: "That makes me really hungry." But she I don't want to eat now: "Get casual clothes! I'll go to Heluo myself."
ah--
…
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, covering Shengdu with a thin layer of smoke. Long trickling streams on the ground merged into a shallow pool of water. Luo Ximing quickly disappeared from street corner to street corner and finally got lost at a secret book of a house. Qi Qi was knocked out and brought out.
Qi Qi was soaked all over, and the cloth strips on his body were tightly attached to his body, revealing his equally charming complexion. His whole face was washed clean by the rain, and his hair was wet and stuck to his head. , he should have looked embarrassed, but instead he was looking at Luo Ximing who was catching up with him. He suddenly became unhappy: "Where is she! Why didn't she have sex with you?"
Luo Ximing's jade clothes accidentally fluttered in the night wind without a trace of rain. He didn't answer Qi Qi's words and just took them off on the official road.
Qi Qi refused to let him touch her: "You just stole my woman! Don't be so pretentious here! The last thing I want to see is you!" As he said this, he fluttered his sleeves and walked into the rain again.
Luo Ximing gave a bitter smile and called Ah Jiu behind him: "Follow the emperor closely, don't let him go to the Yan Emperor again when he wants to go home."
"yes."
Qi Qi heard the tip of his ears and turned around instantly, his long and slanted eyes exuding a cautious cold light under the night: "You! Luo Ximing! Don't let me see you for ten days!" Luo Ximing, you are also so attentive to people. When I was there, I was afraid that when he went back, he would find that he had been abandoned too! He was so angry that he killed the woman! It’s unnecessary! He didn’t win her!
Luo Ximing confirmed that Ah Jiu was following and breathed a sigh of relief. It was really worrying.
…
The next day, the sky cleared up and the sun shone through the horizon on the earth. A sign indicating a seven-day rest was hung outside the palace. The reason was: Emperor Qi was traveling through and the emperor was accompanying him personally.
The ministers opened their eyes half in surprise and half in panic, Emperor Qi!? Is there really an Emperor Qi in the world?
"I heard that someone broke into the palace last night and started a fight. The entire palace was destroyed. It's so bold to fight with the emperor in person!" Huang Youyou sighed. There are more weird things every year than this year. Someone can actually fight with the emperor. , this is the first time in ten years! Those killers in the past have long died in the agency!
"Didn't you get beaten to death?" Wang Ping was full of curiosity. He heard that the emperor's kung fu was very evil and he didn't survive the attack. Unfortunately, he hadn't seen it yet.
"What nonsense are you talking about!" Zhang Tingdao looked around carefully and lowered his voice: "Don't be kidding me. I heard that it was Emperor Qi who broke in. At that time, all the masters in the palace were there, and he was his opponent. In the end, the emperor took action and personally Only when we go into battle can we win the battle. Didn't you see the craftsmen who came into the palace one by one to take measurements? It was Emperor Qi who personally compensated our emperor for building the palace, our emperor! Those are countless masters!"
Xin Chen looked admiring: "I heard that Emperor Qi has three heads and six arms. He wears artificial battle armor. He is six feet taller than ordinary people and his eyes are as big as barrels. Is it true?"
Zhang Tingdao gave this person a ghostly look, lowered his head very gently, and stared at the new fool in his department: "You are stupid because of your studies."
…
In front of the Liu family in Heluo City, in addition to two stone lions, there are three willow trees that are hundreds of years old. I heard that they were planted by the first generation of the Liu family.
The Liu family is not rich in Heluo, but it is still rich, and they are paid more wages on weekdays. Working as a servant in the Liu family is no worse than working in a wealthy and scholarly family.
In addition, the house rules of the mistress of the Liu family are strict and there are no bad habits in the house. Except for the arrogant son of the concubine, there are no unfavorable rumors about the Liu family. But it is different now. The forty-year-old head of the Liu family has adopted a sick baby boy.
I heard that the eldest lady brought her out from outside, which is very rare! Madam is unable to give birth. Could it be that the young lady had a secret baby with a palace guard?
It is rare to hear some gossip in the streets and lanes, and it is spread "randomly" with great relish. These words spread to the Liu Mansion and reached the ears of Mr. Liu.
At this moment, Mr. Liu was stroking his mustache in a pretentious manner, staring displeased at his wife and eldest daughter who seemed not to have seen him come in. He coughed heavily to declare his presence.
Mrs. Liu, who was wearing a sapphire blue double-breasted coat, looked at Liu Qiule from Liu Qiule when she heard the movement, and smiled gently at the master: "The master is back, come and see Qiu Le, he just smiled at me, this little guy smiled
It looks really nice.”
Miss Liu heard this and pouted at her mother: "Since I had a younger brother, I don't care about my daughter anymore. I haven't taught my daughter any new acupuncture techniques for several days."
Mrs. Liu seemed not to notice her husband's dissatisfaction, and smiled at her daughter: "Nonsense, that is your wedding dress, no matter what new embroidery method you want, you are a girl who is getting married and you are still so childish. Be careful that your mother-in-law will annoy you."
When her mother mentioned the marriage, Miss Liu lowered her head shyly and quickly embroidered her work. Her wedding day would be in half a month. How could any girl not look forward to it with fear?
When Mr. Liu saw them talking and laughing among themselves, he immediately became angry: "Madam! You didn't hear my husband calling you. You are facing a picked-up child all day long. When did you become a leader? Even if I don't say anything, my daughter
Do you want my reputation?"
The swaddling Liu Qiule seemed to hear the noise, opened her weak eyes, blinked once and closed them again, and opened her mouth to cry.
Mrs. Liu immediately hugged her with heartache: "Don't cry, don't cry, Qiu Le is the best. Daddy didn't hurt you, it was your sister who didn't make the embroidery look good. He was scolding your sister. Look at my little Qiu Le, she looks so beautiful even when she cries.
Master, come and see."
Mrs. Liu couldn't wait for a long time. She raised her head and saw that he was angry on the spot. She turned around and teased Xiaole with a smile: "Why are you angry! Why do people outside say that my uncle is not serious? It's okay that you are so angry now.
I saw a joke and my daughter has been brought back. Even if my daughter did something wrong, it has already happened. How can you still send the child back? I think this child is quite good and I would be happy to be my son."
"You--" Mr. Liu was helpless for a while. He knew his wife's temper, but he couldn't afford to offend her even if he knew her well: "How do you want Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Hua to think of you?" Mr. Liu said very implicitly, but it had various meanings.
