When Wang Laoer returned home, he forgot about the small conflict with Liang Jing and took the food he bought to distribute.
"This is chestnut, very sweet."
"This is preserved fruit. Yi Niang, you like to eat this the most."
"Old thief, there's also your pig meat, for drinking."
"Lang Jun, your candy."
Everyone has it, even Zhang Siniang has it.
"Isn't it fun?" the old thief teased him.
"It's fun." Under normal circumstances, if Wang Laoer wants to go out and play, he must have someone with him.
Wang Laoer was acting wild tonight and was a little ready to make a move, "Mr. Lang, why do I have to take someone with me every time I go out? Are you worried that something will happen to me?"
Yang Xuan chewed the candy and shook his head, "I'm worried that something will happen to others."
Wang Laoer ate a hearty meal, and he was satisfied and ready to wash up and go to bed. He walked a few steps and patted his forehead.
"I almost forgot, Lang Jun, I met Liang Jing earlier."
"If you encounter it, just encounter it!"
"There was a fight."
Yang Xuan, the old thief, and Yi Niang all looked at him.
"how?"
"That man is so powerful. I am no match for him. But I am not afraid of him. If Tu Gong hadn't pulled me away, I would have fought with him today."
"Why fight?" If you can't win, then you can win. As long as you don't suffer a loss, that's fine.
"Liang Jing scolded me. Lang Jun, you said people wouldn't scold me, but I scolded them. If I scolded him, he would make others do it."
"I know." Yang Xuan smiled.
After Wang Laoer left, all three of them had gloomy faces.
The old thief said: "Liang Jing seems to hate Lang Jun deeply."
Yi Niang said: "Do you care about him? It's just that this person is a bit shameless. He knew clearly that the second son was a bit stupid, but he was bullied by others. Fortunately, nothing happened."
"Tu Chang is here." Yang Xuan touched his bald chin and suddenly thought of his father-in-law's equally bald chin for no apparent reason. "Recently there has been news that Liang Jing is going to be promoted again. Damn it, I'm going through life and death outside.
But it is no match for having someone to sleep with at home. The Tang Dynasty will be damned if it does not decline."
Yi Niang was a little dissatisfied, "Tu Shang didn't help?"
The old thief said: "He has been dormant in Yecheng. I guess he is timid."
"It's good that the second one didn't suffer any loss."
…
When Yang Xuan arrived at the East Palace, he received some troubling news.
"Zhongyun, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious." Gao Yue looked sad, but Yang Xuan thought he was happy no matter how he looked at it.
There are three systems in the harem, the emperor, the empress, and the prince, each with a group of subordinates.
Now that the big boss of the East Palace has fallen, Yang Xuan found that many people were not sad and worried, but... relaxed.
Gao Yue and Feng Shitang stood at the back and whispered: "Your Highness may not be able to survive this time."
"Um!"
"Old Feng, are you unhappy?"
"Happy."
"Your Highness, we will be free once you leave."
A chamberlain came out with red eyes and shouted: "Pray for His Highness!"
If the prince goes, except for those who stand firm, the officials can be redistributed, but the servants will be labeled, and their life in the palace will be very painful.
Everyone bowed their heads and prayed silently.
"Please pray to the gods and Buddhas in the sky to bless Your Highness to leave this world in pain soon, and ascend as soon as possible!"
In the palace, the prince lay drowsily on the couch, and beside him sat the prince's concubine Chunyu Yanjiao.
The Crown Princess had a cold face, showing no signs of grief, and said with a look of sadness on her beautiful face, "Your Highness was fine yesterday afternoon, why did you suddenly fall into a coma?"
Ma Qi, the prince's confidant, leaned forward and said, "Mother, your highness said before he fell into unconsciousness that he wanted to have some roast mutton for dinner. Before he could finish his words, he fell down."
Chunyu Yanjiao turned his eyes, stared at Ma Qi, and said gloomily: "Who is there?"
Ma Qi raised his head, his eyes that were red due to staying up late and being anxious were full of grief, "Slaves, and them."
Two maids stood in the corner.
Chunyu Yan waved, and two maids came forward, trembling all over.
"explain!"
A maid said in a trembling voice: "The two slaves were three steps away from His Highness at that time."
Chunyu Yanjiao said calmly: "Why are you so far away?"
The doctors who were diagnosing the pulse were startled by these words. When they raised their heads, they were stared at by Chunyu Yanjiao's cold eyes, and they quickly lowered their heads.
The maid said: "Your Highness doesn't like people getting too close."
The doctor let go of his hand at this time, and Chunyu Yanjiao asked: "How is your highness?"
The doctor blinked and said, "Your Highness is weak and weak."
"I ask how your highness is doing now and when he will wake up!"
The doctor trembled and said, "Perhaps... Your Highness is a very human being. It depends on God's will."
Chunyu Yanjiao glanced in the direction of the palace. The old man who stole her predecessor must have just fallen asleep at the moment and was having sex with her predecessor, the imperial concubine.
"Substitute!"
"Yes!" March agreed quickly.
The doctor felt like he was being pardoned and said, "Thank you so much, ma'am."
I'm free!
The doctor ran away as fast as he could.
Chunyu Yanjiao stood up and looked at the prince on the couch with his hands behind his hands.
His face was pale, his cheeks were thin, and there were a few sores on one cheek that only young people develop. His lips were dry and cracked with several cracks, and the deepest one was bleeding at the moment.
The arms exposed outside the quilt are also thin, with clenched fists and clear joints.
Chunyu Yanjiao looked at her husband with complex eyes, "It's so hard to watch."
March bowed, "Yes!"
Chunyu Yanjiao walked out.
Outside the gate, the subjects of the East Palace were silently praying for blessings.
Chunyu Yanjiao stopped.
"Those two cheap maids are incompetent and will be killed with a stick!"
The female officer Chunyun behind her promised loudly, "Yes!"
Several chamberlains rushed in.
"My queen, please spare my life!"
The shouts were blocked as soon as they started, and they were immediately dragged out.
"Just fight on the edge!"
Chun Yun pointed to the open space on the side and said.
Two benches were placed in the open space, two maids lay on their stomachs, and the fight began.
"Pah! Pah! Pah!"
Zhong Sui looked at this scene, dumbfounded.
Yang Xuan took a deep breath and somehow thought of Xiaohe Village and Dongyu Mountain.
That year, he saw a wolf catching a lamb. The lamb didn't whine and just looked at Yang Xuan hiding in the forest.
To this day, Yang Xuan can still remember those eyes.
Some are sad, some are numb.
Just like the two maids at this moment.
He whispered: "Wolves eat sheep, and humans eat humans."
If a sheep is eaten by a wolf, this is the way of heaven.
But what about cannibalism?
No one among the dozens of officials present spoke.
Obviously, in their eyes, maids are not human beings.
Just like two sheep.
"beat!"
The two maids' bodies suddenly jumped on the bench, and then relaxed.
Snap!
After striking down with the stick, his upper body was raised sharply, his bloodshot eyes widened, the corners of his eyes were torn open, and a few strands of blood overflowed.
The Crown Princess turned around and looked into the palace, and whispered: "You have often been unconscious in the past, but you have never been unconscious like this. I'm afraid people there may think you are still the same. If you kill two people, the Queen will find a reason to intervene.
You can then go to His Majesty and report this matter..."
Chun Yun whispered: "Those people are afraid that they will say that the empress is cruel."
"It's all about becoming a king and losing a bandit!" Chunyu Yanjiao said calmly: "If he defeats me, his mother will honor the world. If he loses, your majesty can't do anything to me. It's boring to stay in the cold palace. It's better to do something now. It's okay anyway.
It’s not a vain life.”
Chun Yun said: "Even if His Highness is defeated, the empress will not be treated harshly in the harem."
"I know. But if you lose your power, you will be in limbo anywhere."
"Yes. Madam, Mr. Zhong's side..."
"Zhong Sui is not a doctor."
"Yes. How about finding someone to inform His Majesty?"
"He knew it yesterday." Chunyu Yanjiao sneered: "He was just watching the excitement. He put his arms around that woman, and he didn't know what he was thinking about. He was probably feeling proud."
"Your Majesty, be careful what you say."
Chunyu Yanjiao's brows were filled with anger, "Be careful what you say, His Highness is about to leave, so what's the use of being cautious? He would have executed me too if he had the ability. It's a pity that he didn't dare!"
Chunyun sighed.
Chunyu Yanjiao slowly walked to the edge of the collapse, a strange smile appeared on his face, and said softly:
"If you die, he will probably be interested in me and bring me into his harem. How proud will Lao Bahui be when the two women of the prince serve him together..."
Chunyun was shocked when he heard this.
"Compared with living in the cold palace, I prefer to serve him. At least I can enjoy it for a few more years."
When Chunyu Yanjiao came out of the palace, the buttocks of the two maids were already broken.
It's okay to have a bruise on your butt, but after it breaks, half of your life is gone.
Chunyu Yanjiao looked in the direction of the Liyuan and said coldly: "Hit me hard!"
"Wait a minute!"
Someone spoke to stop it.
Chunyu Yanjiao turned his eyes, looked at the young man who came out, and asked: "Who is this person?"
The servant next to him said: "Madam, this person is the new crown prince Zhongyun, Yang Xuan."
Chunyu Yanjiao sneered, "That bitch's savior?"
Yang Xuan didn't know what he was thinking, but he actually stopped him.
"What's the matter?" Chunyu Yanjiao asked.
What should I say...it's too violent to kill someone in the palace with a stick?
But most of Li Mi's people are perverts, even Te Niang and his women. In their eyes, the palace people are not even as good as cows and horses.
Shi Gui glanced at Yang Xuan and whispered to the people around him: "The Crown Princess is looking for someone to attack her to make the palace boil. Yang Xuan steps forward at this moment... seeking death!"
The people around him laughed and said, "What does he want to do?"
Shi Gui said: "I probably came up with an idea to attract the Crown Princess's attention. If the Crown Prince can wake up, this will be a credit."
The people around him laughed and said, "I'm just afraid that he won't receive the credit."
Over there, Yang Xuan calmed down and said: "When I was in my hometown, a foreigner stayed overnight. On that day, someone in the village was dying and someone was seriously ill. The family of the seriously ill person asked the foreigner for help..."
How long has it been since this happened, and you still have the heart to talk about this?
Someone is sneering.
Chun Yun whispered: "If Your Highness is...the empress should establish her authority."
Even if the prince is gone, and the prince who is making a big fuss has a family of four surnames as his backers, the emperor cannot treat her harshly. It is said that it is a cold palace and he must keep all the enjoyment.
Chunyu Yanjiao nodded slightly, "Listen to what he says."
What would happen if the bitch died that day and the emperor lost his favorite concubine? I think the prince would be better off.
Yang Xuan said: "The outsider went there but did not diagnose and treat the patient, saying that the patient's disease was not yet fatal, but he would definitely die. The family was afraid to ask for advice. The outsider said that the patient should have been saved, but he was contaminated with evil.
Angry, this is when the ghost sent Suo to take away the soul. He passed by your house and saw someone seriously ill, so he thought this person was the one who deserved to die. He quickly went to check if anyone was dying in the village today."
Damn it!
This story makes some people feel chilly.
The two maids lowered their heads on the side of the bench, knowing that they were bound to die. One of them looked up at the subjects of the East Palace and smiled miserably.
This group of gentlemen who talk about benevolence, justice and morality all day long sit back and watch as the princess beats them to death for no reason.
If her mouth hadn't been blocked, she would have wanted to curse loudly at this moment, scolding this blind God and this rotten world!
"The family said that someone in the village had been seriously ill for more than ten days, and the doctor said that he might not be able to survive the night. When the outsiders heard this, they were shocked and said that they had mistakenly admitted the wrong person. If that person could survive the night, the patient in your family would become a substitute.
, must die before the rooster crows.”
"What's this story?" An official felt a chill running down his spine.
"Shut up!" Someone shouted, "Listen."
My story-telling skills are pretty good. At least I won't have to worry about coaxing the children in the future... Yang Xuan glanced around and saw that everyone was listening in rapt attention. His heart relaxed, and he immediately showed off his storytelling skills.
"The family asked why he died before the rooster crows. Outsiders said that ghosts usually take people away late at night. At midnight, the yin energy rises, and hundreds of ghosts are rampant. At this time, the ghosts travel freely. After the rooster crows, dawn breaks in the east, and the purple energy rises in the east.
Come on, if a ghost is caught, he will be wiped out in an instant."
There are many stories about ghosts and gods in the Tang Dynasty, but most of them are simple and unsystematic. No one has heard of the Yin Qi, the rampant ghosts, the Yin Qi rising in the child... no one has ever heard of it.
Chun Yun shuddered and felt hairs running down her spine, as if someone was watching her from behind. She turned around suddenly, and saw that the prince was still lying on the couch, and Ma Qi stood beside him in a daze.
Who is looking at me?
Not only him, but also several other palace servants.
For a moment, everyone felt as if there was a ghost inside the palace.
"The family is anxious. Some people say that they should quietly kill the dying person. Outsiders say that it is a sin, and it will not happen now. When your life is approaching, the underworld will take out the book of life and death to see your merits and demerits.
Beating someone to death is the highest level of crime. The soul is detained in the underworld and sentenced to either go to the Nine Nether Hells and suffer torture, or be thrown into the sea of Shura blood and be immersed in it. Life is worse than death."
The two chamberlains who carried out the execution shivered. One of them glanced at the Crown Princess and thought that this was her order. Every wrong has its own owner, every debt has its own owner. Don't come looking for me!
"The family begged hard, but the outsiders couldn't refuse, so they ordered the family to prepare nine lamps to provide shelter."
"In the middle of the night, when the whole family was awake, they heard a gust of cold wind in their ears and felt cold all over their bodies. The outsiders tried their best to support the patient and made the patient's son cut his hand to bleed. He wrote a talisman with the blood and told it to heaven."
"The family in the village suddenly cried loudly, and outsiders sat down and said that the disaster was over. Then there was the sound of roosters crowing, and the family looked around and saw that the patient on the bed had woken up and his eyes were bright."
"Amitabha." Some people couldn't help but chant the Buddha's name.
"Blessings and Immeasurable Heavenly Lord!" someone preached.
Zhong Sui sighed, "Mother, your highness is unconscious, so you should avoid committing murders!"
Chunyu Yanjiao looked at Yang Xuan and sneered in his heart.
Chun Yun was a little scared. "What if ghosts come and they should have detained those two cheap maids, but they took His Highness by mistake? My dear, please let them go!"
"This method of saving people is quite interesting." Chunyu Yanjiao took a deep look at Yang Xuan and said, "Let him go."
The princess left with her people.
Zhong Sui came over and asked Yang Xuan, "The story is very good."
"This is what Aye said back then, and I don't know whether it is true or not."
Leave the matter to the missing Yang Ding. If you have the ability, go find him!
"But you have offended the Crown Princess."
Wei Chu, a guest of the prince, came over and asked, "I asked you, do you regret it?"
Yang Xuan knew that his trick could not be hidden from these big guys. At this time, the two maids were untied, and their companions came to help them and gave them a few words of comfort, but he couldn't help crying.
The two of them could hardly move, but endured the pain, asked their companions for help, knelt down to Yang Xuan, and kowtowed.
…
In Dongyu Mountain, young Yang Xuan looked at the lamb bitten by a wolf. He thought for a moment, took out his bow and arrow, and killed the wild wolf with one arrow.
The little sheep glanced at him and then ran away, but a few wolves stared at Yang Xuan.
