A scent of fragrance floated into the room through the gap in the window lattice, blending with the lingering heat in the bathtub.
Sima Yuntai opened the window, and there was a magnolia tree beside the window, with white orchids hanging on the branches, like a white beauty, beautiful.
It's almost autumn.
Sima Yuntai tied a piece of cloth into a high ponytail, picked an orchid, put it in her black hair, and then walked out of the room.
When I was at Shenwu Peak, there were no gorgeous clothes, just coarse clothes and skirts. As for headdress, it was just wooden hairpins, or at most wild flowers in my hair.
In fact, she doesn't like the identity of wife, but she has to play the role of wife.
At the same time, orchids are placed on the temples, and the girl's heart is not the same as yesterday.
Suddenly I miss home and miss him. Is it because I miss home or him?
Open the door of the darkroom, enter a long and narrow staircase, and go deep underground to a secret room.
There was a man sitting in the room. When he heard the movement, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Madam."
The man was dressed in a blue Confucian uniform, with a slender and tall figure, exuding a bit of a romantic air.
Sima Yuntai showed a satisfied expression. He never knew that his figure was so pleasing to the eye. Maybe if a person's advantages in one aspect are too prominent, it is easy to ignore other advantages in him.
She was still looking forward to this face, looking at the face wrapped in layers of silk: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Ma'am, you're serious, no matter how long you wait, it's too long."
Sima Yuntai praised: "The ventriloquism I taught you was pretty good."
"Thank you, Madam, for the compliment."
"Thank you, Fu, please take off the silk from your face."
The man was delighted: "Can you take it apart?"
"yes."
After receiving a positive reply, the man couldn't wait to pull the silk from his face.
Seeing the man's impatient movements, Sima Yuntai said, "I'll take it apart."
She walked up to the man and started to take off the silk. Her movements were very light, so light that she could hardly notice the silk being peeled off her face. She said softly: "This face is exquisitely carved and is a treasure."
"
As the skin, mouth, nose, eyebrows, eyes... slowly fell into the eyes, Sima Yuntai's eyes became intense, and he stared intently, as if he was looking at a masterpiece.
His hand slowly moved closer to his face: "What a handsome face, one that people will never tire of looking at."
Who can withstand such a blazing gaze from the most beautiful woman in the world? The man's eyes were filled with despair and obsession.
When he saw the man's obsessed eyes, Sima Yuntai's hand stopped, and his expression became as cold as ice: "Who dares you to look at me like this!"
The man suddenly felt like a frightened deer: "Madam, I...I..."
Sima Yuntai said coldly: "Do you remember who I am to you?"
A glimmer of wisdom flashed in the man's eyes: "My wife is my son-in-law's mother-in-law."
"Then can you look at your mother-in-law like this?"
The man was speechless.
Sima Yuntai snorted coldly: "The gold and jade are ruined on the outside." He turned and left.
The heavy stone door closed mercilessly, and the lingering voice floated: "Have a good rest."
The fairy sound lingered in the secret room, and the lingering fragrance gave the man some comfort.
Sima Yuntai quickly walked out of the secret room and came to stand under the magnolia tree. The faint moonlight was partially obscured by the dense branches and leaves, and she stood still looking gentle and demure.
After a while, she looked like a worried girl again, picking the white orchids on the branches without anything to do.
It was not inserted into the black hair, nor was it appreciated. It was just twisted on the slender white fingers and turned into broken flowers and fell to the ground.
Suddenly he coughed, and the cough got worse and worse, until he coughed up a trace of blood.
Perhaps lovesickness is also a disease, the most hopeless one.
Damn it.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly landed: "Madam, there is something moving."
Sima Yuntai's face turned serious: "I understand."
…
Although Xie Fu rode Feiyun and chased him day and night, he still couldn't catch up until Chang'an.
I was a little confused for a moment and didn't know what to do next. The person must be in the hands of the emperor. He couldn't enter the palace to search in a big way.
It's not impossible to sneak into the palace secretly, but you can't let it go without incident. The emperor may not hide people in the palace.
The emperor's goal is himself, and if he cannot be saved, he will fall into it, and the gain will outweigh the loss.
After thinking about it, I felt that I should discuss it with Xiaoyun first, maybe I can get some accurate information, and then act according to the situation.
It was already late at night when we entered Chang'an City on horseback. Except for the brothel area, most of the streets were already dark and quiet.
Fu Xie was very tired, and Fei Yun, a thousand-mile horse, couldn't bear it anymore. Suddenly he noticed that Fei Yun's legs were a little weak, so Fu Xie immediately dismounted and walked to reduce Fei Yun's burden.
He stroked his horse's temples and said with a smile: "Ever since you followed me, a hard-working man, your life has become more and more miserable. I feel wronged to you."
Feiyun and Xie Fu already had a certain relationship and responded with a neigh.
"Okay, don't disturb anyone in the middle of the night. I'll send you back to Wanzhi for your happiness another day."
Xie Fu was talking to Feiyun when a person appeared in the middle of the street ahead.
Xie Fu immediately let go of his sensitivity and checked his surroundings.
Li Jingtang's voice came: "Sir, I am the only one who has been waiting for you in my humble position for a long time."
Xie Fu said bluntly: "Li Jingtang, did you do it?"
"My humble position is unknown, please explain it clearly."
"Were you responsible for what happened to the Gu family in Huizhou?"
Li Jingtang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty knows about my friendship with you and can no longer trust me."
Xie Fu came over with his horse, his face as cold as frost: "Li Jingtang, it's not you who is the best, otherwise there would be no friendship between you and me."
Li Jingtang could feel Xie Fu's murderous intent. Based on his understanding of Xie Fu, something must have happened that touched Xie Fu's bottom line. He wanted to say something to explain, but in the end he hesitated.
After a pause, he said seriously: "Thank you, Your Majesty, Your Majesty allows me to wait for you here, please." He said, assuming a humble posture.
Xie Fu smiled: "What if I don't go?"
Li Jingtang held up his hands and said: "The humble post is just a messenger. Whether you go or not, the humble post will not stop you." He said and stood aside to get out of the way.
Xie Fu smiled and said, "If I don't go, what will you do when you get back?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Li Jingtang smiled lightly: "My skills are not as good as others, I don't know if this answer can satisfy Mr. Xie."
As he spoke, he raised his palm, which turned red like a bath of fireworks and slapped it on his shoulder blade. Xie Fu raised his hand to catch Li Jingtang's waving arm: "I'll go."
People are in the hands of the emperor, he has no choice.
Li Jingtang was surprised and said: "My lord, you don't have to do it for a humble position..."
Xie Fu interrupted: "It's not for you, just lead the way."
On the way, Xie Fu kept looking around, hoping that someone was following him in the hidden place.
The emperor knew he was coming, did Xiaoyun know it, and did Qin Chushang know it? After all, he collapsed, and it would be difficult for Qin Chushang to stand up.
Maybe Qin Chushang no longer needs herself. She has already got what she wants, and she doesn't seem to have much use value.
And he also knew very well that there were some things that Qin Chushang valued more than his life.
In fact, he admired Qin Chushang for his righteousness and integrity, but his selfishness was still a bit sour.
How could a big man like Li Jingtang fail to see that Xie Fu had no choice but to go deep into the hinterland alone at this moment and wanted to have backup support.
So he said: "Sir, I can't help you with some things, but there are some things I am still willing to do for you."
Xie Fu looked at Li Jingtang, wondering how trustworthy he was.
Li Jingtang smiled: "Are you worried that your humble position will spread the news?"
Xie Fu suddenly saw a field flower on the road and responded with a smile: "Master Li, just concentrate on leading the way."
The dim flower is also called the Yuyang flower, Qin Chushang was reminding him.
Has Qin Chushang ever disappointed anyone?
No! She will only bring you surprises and surprises.
Li Jingtang saw Xie Fu and declined: "Sir, please believe me for once. Sir, do you still remember what I said in Qin Tower? One day when you are in trouble, I will sacrifice my life and property to help you in return for your life-saving efforts.
kindness."
Xie Fu said calmly: "You can't help me, I will let you help me if necessary."
Li Jingtang felt a little sad when he heard this. He seemed to be in a less relaxed mood than Xie Fu...
Xiao Yun also knew about it, and now Xie Fu's confidence increased.
Who is Li Jingtang? He is the third most powerful person in Shenwu Hall. He has direct access to the emperor and gives orders to Shenwu Pavilion to expand the power of the martial alliance, large and small. He is also the brother of Li Jingke, the king of East Henan.
Just from the change in Xie Fu's face, we knew that Xie Fu was not worried and he picked up the speed. Maybe things were not as bad as he thought.
Entering the palace, Li Jingtang led the way, and everything went smoothly.
The palace in the middle of the night is also dark and quiet. This spacious silence makes it inexplicably gloomy.
Fu Xie couldn't help but secretly wonder, what's the good thing about being an emperor? Even in this house, there are so many murderous intentions that he can't even get a good night's sleep, and the relatives around him are also plotting against each other.
Fu Xie didn't even understand why Qin Xiaofu had to cause so many things when he was already the emperor. Why was he still dissatisfied?
Perhaps in Qin Xiaofu's position, he also has things that are beyond his reach. Pursuing forward is the meaning of life.
What about Yuyang? Why does she want to be emperor?
Xie Fu doesn't know that he is not Qin Xiaofu, nor is he Qin Chushang. He is just a man who grew up hanging around in the market. From the beginning, he wanted to win the approval of his family, and now he wants to protect the people he loves.
Life is nothing more important than life and death. When a person dies, everything he possesses and loses is reduced to smoke and smoke.
Thinking about it, I walked to Leng Palace without realizing it. It was much quieter here, with almost no guards patrolling around.
Arriving at a courtyard, Li Jingtang stopped at the entrance of the courtyard: "Sir, we're here."
This is the courtyard where Yilan used to live. The entire courtyard was silent. It didn't look like he was sleeping quietly, but more like the building was deserted.
Even standing at the door, Mr. Xie could smell the smell of desolation, the grass in the yard, the traces of raindrops under the eaves that had not been cleaned for a long time, and the window lattice that was not closed properly and rippled slightly in the night breeze.
There was only one room with lights on, which was the courtyard where Yilan lived. The light was soft and quiet, and Xie Fu had the illusion that Yilan was waiting for him in the house.
Xie Fu came to the door of the house and stopped.
After a slight sound of footsteps, the door opened, and it was Qin Xiaofu himself who opened the door for Xie Fu.
Qin Xiaofu is dressed in casual clothes and has a slight smile on his face. This image makes it difficult for people to imagine that he is the king of a country. Instead, it makes people feel that he is just a kind and ordinary old man.
Xie Fu didn't know how to address the person in front of him for a moment, Your Majesty? Real person? Or he called him by his name angrily!
But Qin Xiaofu smiled and said, "Thank you, Fu, for coming."
"Master, did you know I'm coming?" Both of them knew each other's details, and Xie Fu didn't need to be pretentious. More importantly, he didn't want to grovel tonight.
Qin Xiaofu laughed loudly when he heard this: "You have already opened your mouth like this, then we can be considered old acquaintances who have fought side by side, and there is no need to be cautious. Please."
Xie Fu walked into the room and sat down: "We are also enemies who have fought life and death."
Qin Xiaofu's expression was as kind as when we first met, and he smiled and said: "I don't want to regard you as an enemy, but you must be my enemy."
As he spoke, he looked at the room with a comfortable look and asked: "I have only been in this room a few times. How many times have you been in this room?"
"once."
Qin Xiaofu chuckled and said: "Then I have come in more times than you. I am very curious, how did you make a goddess move your mortal heart?"
"I'm also very curious. You are the emperor, and Wu is the head of the Earth Sect. What else are you dissatisfied with?"
"Thank you, Fu, you are not me. What you think is just a figment of your imagination. You have not experienced my life, and you cannot personally understand my feelings. You also do not understand me. I personally think
What to pursue..."
"Ma'am, then I will answer you with the same answer."
Qin Xiaofu laughed: "Okay, I won't ask anymore, you can ask."
"Did you do this to the Gu family in Huizhou?"
Qin Xiaofu smiled: "I will take action myself."
"Where are the people?"
"I've made arrangements."
"What do you want me to do before you let me go?"
"I want the Heavenly Master's Order. If you put the Heavenly Master's Order in front of me, I will let him go."
"The Heavenly Master's Order is not in my hands."
"I know it's in the hands of the Ghost Queen, so I asked you to get it."
"Why don't you go get it yourself?"
Qin Xiaofu smiled: "Thank you, Fu, do you plan to chat with me like this until dawn?"
Xie Fu smiled and said: "I have never sat and chatted with you in this way, so it's not a bad idea."
"Thank you, Fu, I know that it must have been smooth sailing for you to get to where you are today. Have you experienced setbacks? Have you experienced failure?"
Xie Fu's journey to where he is today is by no means smooth sailing. On the contrary, the setbacks, life and death he has experienced are beyond what outsiders can imagine.
But there is no need to explain it clearly to others, especially the person in front of me. He smiled faintly and said: "Master, you have also been to the Immortal and Demonic Array, don't you know it? Mr. Xie just has better luck."
"I just don't know if your luck will be as good this time."
Xie Fu smiled: "A person's good luck will eventually run out."
"That's right."
Qin Xiaofu said loudly: "Eunuch Gao, go and bring this person over."
Hearing these words, Xie Fu felt very happy. The worst thing he could do was give him the order of the Heavenly Master, as long as he was still alive.
After Qin Xiaofu finished his instructions, he smiled at Fu Xie and said, "Wait a moment."
"good."
Soon, Eunuch Gao's voice came from the door: "Your Majesty."
"Come in."
Eunuch Gao gently opened the door and came in. Xie Fu couldn't help but turn his head and look, only to see Eunuch Gao alone, holding a brocade box in both hands.
Xie Fu's expression changed.
Qin Xiaofu smiled and nodded at Eunuch Gao. Eunuch Gao walked into the room and placed the brocade box on the table.
Xie Fu's keen sense of smell smelled the smell of blood, and he suddenly opened the lid of the box, and Gu Quan's head was placed inside the box.
