After wrongly binding the matchmaker system [Quick Transmigration]
Chapter 32 The 1th Time as a Matchmaker 32
This sentence is Qi Mingxuan's answer, and it is also a promise that he can use his whole life to fulfill.
He didn't know why his feelings for Li Shu arose, he only knew that when he found out, this feeling had already penetrated into his bone marrow, and he couldn't give up anymore.
The warm fragrance and jade were in his bosom, as if the whole heart was filled, Qi Mingxuan put his head on the young man's shoulder, and let out a contented sigh.
This is a very novel feeling. Since childhood, Qi Mingxuan has never wanted anything in particular.He has been indifferent since he was a child. When his mother and concubine had an accident, he was still young and had little contact with the outside world. He had even less impression of the Mu family. He didn't have much feeling for these things when he was young.
It's just that as he grew older, more and more people said these things in front of him. Their words were extremely vicious. In order to hit him, they said whatever was unpleasant.
From these words, he became more and more impressed with the Mu family. Later, when he was in the most difficult time, the old Mu family took him out of the palace and told the whole story of the past, so that he had a complete understanding of the past. impression.
To avenge the Mu family and his mother and concubine is the responsibility entrusted to him by blood. He must resist and lead the old Mu family to take back what belongs to them.Before meeting the young man, all his dedication and efforts were for such a thing, for the sake of the Mu family who died unjustly, and for himself who had endured all kinds of hardships, he was bound to step down from that position.
But after that?What should he do after this is done?Every time Qi Mingxuan thinks about this question, he is at a loss. Looking back suddenly, he finds that there is nothing in this world that is worth his nostalgia.
As he said to Li Shu, it doesn't matter to him whether he is the emperor or how long he has been the emperor. He didn't fight for that position entirely for himself, but he bears the blood debt of too many people. They were all pushing him behind, urging him to move forward.
It wasn't until he met Li Shu that he had a clear hope for the future. He thought that in the future, he would be able to be with the young man, whether it was to guard the imperial city, or leave all the burdens behind and go away, as long as he could be by the young man's side, that would be fine.
"Your Highness, I may not be able to give you an answer that satisfies you." After being shocked, Li Shu said in a voice two degrees lower than usual.
Originally, he just wanted to comfort Qi Mingxuan who rarely showed such a depressed side, but he didn't expect to hear another confession. This time, Qi Mingxuan's tone was firmer than last time.
Li Shu does not deny that he is different from Qi Mingxuan to other people, maybe he has feelings for Qi Mingxuan in his heart, but now he does not want to let this feeling overflow.He is destined to travel to different small worlds in the future. If he has a bond in this world, he does not guarantee what he will do in the future.
Unlike the human race, the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan is extremely affectionate. If they fall in love with someone, it will be a matter of a lifetime. They will never fall in love with someone else suddenly in the middle of the journey. Similarly, they cannot bear the betrayal from their lover.
The love relationship of the nine-tailed fox family is either to stay together sweetly all the time, or to be widowed, and there is no other choice.
His life was too unequal to Qi Mingxuan's. If he agreed to be with Qi Mingxuan, after just a few decades of happiness, what awaited him would be countless years of loneliness. Could he really bear it?
A person who has never seen the light can endure eternal darkness, but as long as he sees the light, even just once, he may be driven mad by the endless darkness that he could have endured. The same is true for emotional matters.
Never got it and lost it after getting it, obviously the latter is even more unacceptable.
Li Shu had already planned to be alone forever. For a long time, his obsession was to practice hard. When he reached a certain level of cultivation, he went to find that man. It was not for any other reason, but just to want to Find out why you left quietly back then, without leaving him a single word.
It's really been too many years, he doesn't remember much what the man looks like, he only remembers the black robe with simple notation that will never change, and the warm hands that touched his body.
He stood up slightly, looked sideways at the man who was embracing him, his handsome profile came into view, the man was wet from the rain just now, his hair was glued together in strands, sticking to his face On the neck.
Even through the armor, he could feel the heat on the man's body, the fiery heart beating in his chest, not for today's victory, nor for the status and power at his fingertips, but only for him.
Just for him.
How long can such a fiery, domineering and authoritarian relationship last?One year, two years, or five years, ten years... He is not sure, and he will never be sure.
With the ability of the nine-tailed fox family, he can guarantee that a man will never betray him in his life, but he has always dismissed this kind of self-deception, let alone use it himself.
The hands around his waist were so hard, encircling him firmly, and so cautious, for fear that a little bit of force would hurt him.
Embracing this person is like embracing the whole world, filling all the voids in his heart. Qi Mingxuan buried his head on the side of the young man's neck, and the scorching breath he exhaled sprayed on Li Shu's neck, and Li Shu turned his head to hide.
The man's deep and magnetic voice came from beside his ears.
"I know, I won't force you." Qi Mingxuan was already very satisfied to get such an answer.
Compared with the first confession, Li Shu's attitude has softened significantly, which shows that Li Shu has no feelings for him, and now he is not letting go, perhaps because the young man does not have deep feelings for him in his heart, or maybe the young man is scruples What, I can't agree to him now.
It's okay, he can wait.
He believed that one day, he would be able to impress the young man and hear the answer he wanted from the young man.
Let Qi Mingxuan hug him for a while, but Qi Mingxuan let go first, looking at the water stains on the young man's body because of him, Qi Mingxuan felt a little distressed.
"Go change your clothes, it's all wet." Qi Mingxuan touched the place on Li Shu's body that was soaked by him, and blamed himself in his heart, knowing that he was wet, why did he still hug him because he didn't want to give up? youth for so long.
"Fortunately, it's not wet," Li Shu tugged at the hem of his clothes, "Speaking of changing clothes, His Highness should also change this set of clothes."
Qi Mingxuan's clothes were completely wet from the inside out.
"I'm going to get some dry clothes for His Highness."
Li Shu turned around, and the tip of her hair brushed past the back of the man's hand, like a light feather, touching the bottom of a man's heart.The hair was soft, and Qi Mingxuan couldn't help but turned his hands and shook it gently.
Huh?wet?
The young man has been staying in the temple, his hair shouldn't be wet, even if water is rubbed on his body, it is impossible to get wet to this extent, unless... After he left, the young man left the palace.
In order to ensure the safety of the young man, many people were guarding outside the hall. If the young man had really gone out, someone should report to him when he came, but when he asked, the subordinates said nothing unusual.
During this time, has the young man gone out?He knew that with the young man's ability, he could completely avoid those people outside and come back quietly. He didn't arrange these people here to restrict what the young man could do. Before leaving, he made it very clear to the young man, so the young man should avoid What are these people going out for?
Or, these are all his overthinking?
The clothes on the young man were dry, the one he put on before he left, and the hair was only wet at the end, perhaps because he hadn't dried it before.
Knowing that such a reason is untenable, the time from his departure to his return is definitely not short, and it is impossible for his hair to be so wet after such a long time.Qi Mingxuan looked at Li Shu's back, his eyes darkened. He didn't doubt what the young man had done, but hated that what he had done was not enough to make the young man let go of his guard in front of him.
Going to the inner room, he got clean clothes for Qi Mingxuan to change into. The heavy armor was taken off and piled aside. Qi Mingxuan changed into a black robe of the same color as Li Shu's.
The clothes belonged to Qi Mingxuan. Although he stayed in the frontier all year round and built a mansion outside the palace, he was a prince after all. Although he was not favored by the emperor because of his status, he still had what he should have.
For example, this palace that was given to him when he defeated Xiqiong for the first time contained everything that should be there.There are very few opportunities for him to live here, and most of the items inside are brand new, including the clothes he is wearing.
"Your Highness, wipe your hair." Seeing that Qi Mingxuan had changed his clothes, Li Shu handed over the towel beside him.
He doesn't know how to wipe people's hair. Qi Mingxuan helped him brush his own hair before. In the past, when encountering such a situation, he would directly use a small spell to solve it, which was quick and convenient.
It's a pity that there is no spiritual power in this world. There is no way to use this kind of small spell that needs to be maintained by spiritual power, and only the most primitive method can be used.
"it is good."
Qi Mingxuan took the scarf, touched Li Shu's with his fingers slightly, his mind was shaken, he had the urge to hold this hand, raised his eyes to meet the slightly smiling eyes of the young man, and forcibly endured this impulse.
The young man hasn't accepted him yet, so he can't act rashly.
"Your Highness, I have something to report." An Yu's voice came from outside the door, breaking the tenderness in the hall.
"Come in."
Although he didn't want people to disturb his time alone with the young man, Qi Mingxuan also knew that there was another important matter that needed to be resolved right now.
An Yu, also in armor, opened the door and came in, followed by a man in eunuch costume, Eunuch An.
Clasping fists, knelt down on one knee, "Master, Eunuch An said he has something important to report, and his subordinates cannot make a decision on this matter."
Eunuch An knelt down behind An Yu, bowed in the direction of Qi Mingxuan and Li Shu, and went straight to the point:
"Does His Highness King Qin know that His Majesty once made a will when he was seriously ill?"
Qi Mingxuan really didn't know about this matter, in terms of understanding of the emperor, no one could compare to Eunuch An who served the emperor every day.This matter is indeed of great importance, but I don't know what is written in the will?
If it was written about the eldest prince or one of the four princes, it would be easy to solve, but if it was about the other little princes, Qi Mingxuan would not be able to take that position justifiably.
The few little princes were raised in the strife in the harem, and they were timid and timid. They were not justified. They were afraid of some powerful ministers in the court. Compared with the unpredictable King Qin, the little princes who were easy to control were obviously more satisfied. their selfish desires.
The action was earlier than in the original plot, and the preparations were obviously not sufficient. Those thorny ministers were not dealt with. After Qi Mingxuan came to power, if he wanted to rehabilitate the Mu family, he still had to fight with them.
Qi Mingxuan stood beside Li Shu, upon hearing this, he stopped fiddling with his left hand on the cuff, pierced his dark and penetrating eyes at Eunuch An who was prostrate on the ground, and pursed his thin lips tightly.
"Do you know where the edict is?" Feeling the emotional turmoil in Qi Mingxuan's body, Li Shu asked for him.
A flash of surprise flashed in Eunuch An's eyes. It seems that the rumors are indeed true. The relationship between Lord Li and the King of Qin is really good. If not, how could Lord Li appear in the palace at this juncture and be firmly protected here? In the palace, now he can speak for King Qin again.
Seeing the expressionless expressions on the faces of King Qin's confidantes, Eunuch An collected his attention and replied respectfully: "This old slave knows that His Majesty let this imperial edict be hidden by this old slave."
"Why did you tell this king about the edict?" Qi Mingxuan showed a strange look on his face. Eunuch An was absolutely loyal to his father, why did he tell him about this after his father's death? Shouldn't you contact the courtiers outside at this time to fulfill the content of the will?
He believed that with Eunuch An's years of management in the palace, it would not be difficult to break through his blockade and spread a message to the outside world.
unless……
Eunuch An didn't answer Qi Mingxuan's question, but kowtowed again, and said, "This old slave can take your highness down to look for the edict."
"Okay, I will trust you once."
"Master! Be careful!" An Yu raised his head and looked at Qi Mingxuan anxiously. Who knows what kind of heart this eunuch has, what if he wants to harm the master.
"It's okay, Eunuch An, lead the way." After walking a few steps forward, Qi Mingxuan turned around, "Zi Shu, can you wait for me here?"
He was willing to take risks by himself, but he was reluctant to put Li Shu in danger.
"No, Your Highness, I want to go and have a look." Li Shu refused, his voice was not loud, but his attitude was uncompromising.
Qi Mingxuan thought about it and agreed.He knows that youth is not a canary kept in a beautiful cage, but an eagle soaring nine days. He cannot break the youth's wings because of his worry.
"Then Shu, let's come together." Qi Mingxuan compromised.
An Yu was used to this scene, but Eunuch An's heart stirred up a storm.King Qin, he has heard all kinds of rumors about decisive killings, ruthless methods, and one thing... all kinds of things, he followed the emperor, and the King Qin he saw was not the same as the rumors, but it was not much different.
But in front of this Master Li, it seems very different, all the sharpness has been subdued, and the aura of indisputableness has also disappeared. It seems that Li Shu, the Lord Li, holds a little more weight in King Qin's heart than he imagined.
Several people pierced through the darkness and stopped in front of an abandoned palace.The dark guards behind him dispersed automatically and searched the surroundings. Dark Feather came from a distance, and Qi Mingxuan nodded slightly.
It means that there is no problem found here.
Qi Mingxuan led the people inside without looking sideways, but the air pressure in his body dropped a lot.
Li Shu looked around while walking. The walls were cracked and mottled, and the ground was overgrown with weeds. They walked in through the weeds.Desolate and dilapidated, this place is completely inconsistent with the style of other palaces in the palace. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine such a place in the palace.
The more you walk in, the more desolate it becomes. After years of wind and frost, this palace has long lost its appearance in the past, and only a little bit of the grand occasion of the past can be seen from some small details.
Qi Mingxuan's mood was wrong, and Li Shu was extremely sensitive to human emotions. The further he walked in, the more he could feel the violence overflowing from Qi Mingxuan's body.Li Shu turned his head and glanced at Qi Mingxuan, Qi Mingxuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't look."
He knew what kind of expression he would have now, and he didn't want the young man to see him like this, such a ghost with no grace, as if crawling out of hell.
Coming back here again, he thought he wouldn't be touched much, it seems that he still overestimated himself, he thought those things had faded from his memory, he thought he could face that period of the past calmly, but he couldn't.
From stepping here, he seemed to travel through time and space, back to more than ten years ago, and turned back to the seventh prince who was slaughtered by others. Those people laughed loudly in his ears as "disaster, disaster" and took care of him to grow up. The nurses and maids of the palace were pressed to the ground and whipped, and the screams were endless.
When he saw the blood staining the ground, Mammy stretched out her hand tremblingly, touched his cheek with her rough palm, and tried her best to smile: "Mammy can't stay with Your Highness any longer, Your Highness should take good care of yourself, stay healthy Kang grew up."
The temperature under his hands gradually disappeared, leaving only ice cold, and he stood alone in the yard, all the surrounding lights disappeared, and he lost the last warmth.
cold.
As if he had fallen into an ice cave, the chill was coming from all directions, as if to freeze his soul.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
In a word, the sun is shining, the ice and snow are melting, dispelling the chill, getting away from childhood memories, Qi Mingxuan put down his hand, met the young man's eyes, "It's all right."
There was a little worry in the young man's eyes, Qi Mingxuan was happy in his heart, and the corner of his mouth raised an inconspicuous small arc.
No matter what happened here, it has already passed, and he has revenged a thousand times for those people. He shouldn't be trapped by the memory of the past.
"Your Highness, I have it."
The posthumous edict was contained in a half-arm-long sandalwood box, in addition to the posthumous edict, there was also a palm-sized jade pendant in the wooden box.The whole body of the jade pendant is white and lustrous, with a vermilion bird spreading its wings and about to fly engraved on the front.
Seeing this jade pendant, Qi Mingxuan was a little dazed. If he guessed correctly, this jade pendant should belong to his mother and concubine.From birth, the children of the Mu family will be bestowed by their elders with a jade pendant consecrated by the master of Anguo Temple. The boy is an eagle and the girl is a vermilion bird. He also had a piece before, but it was broken.
"This jade pendant..." Isn't it a token of love from the male lead to the female lead, why does it appear here?
"It belongs to my mother and concubine." Qi Mingxuan picked up the jade pendant, and the word "Mu" was engraved on the back of the jade pendant. He rubbed it twice in his hand, and Qi Mingxuan asked, "You put this jade pendant in? Where did you come from?" This jade pendant you got?"
After getting the things, the group returned to the main hall. Eunuch An knelt on the ground and raised his head when he heard the words, "Your Highness said this to the old slave, how dare the old slave put things in it casually, this sandalwood box The old slaves did not release the things."
"Didn't you let it go?"
"It's absolutely true, Your Highness, this box was given to this old slave by His Majesty, even if this old slave had the guts to open it, he wouldn't dare to open it."
This is true, if the sandalwood box contained the will, Eunuch An would definitely not dare to touch the contents inside, if he was not careful, it would bring about catastrophe.
"Your Highness, let's read the will first." Li Shu reminded.
There is not much time left for them. If the content of the will is really unfavorable to them, they need to make plans as soon as possible.
Qi Mingxuan put the jade pendant back into the wooden box, and picked up the edict placed in the middle of the box.
Everyone waited with bated breath. Only Qi Mingxuan, Li Shu, An Yu, and Eunuch An were in the hall at the moment. An Yu stood beside Eunuch An, with his right hand on the hilt of his sword. If the content of the edict was wrong, he would attack Eunuch An. Just in case this gets out | Get out.
The bright yellow scroll was unfolded by a pair of knuckle hands, Qi Mingxuan closed the scroll after only two glances, and exhaled slowly.
"Your Highness?" An Yu slowly clenched her hand on the hilt of the sword.
Qi Mingxuan shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.
"Eunuch An, what did the emperor say when he handed over the box to you?" Qi Mingxuan was in a complicated mood. He never expected that he would get such two things in the palace that he was least willing to face. something unexpected.
——The relics of his mother and concubine that he thought he would never find again, and a succession edict with only the name of the successor empty.
"No, His Majesty couldn't speak at that time, but just instructed me to hand over this box to you." Eunuch An still remembered the complex look in the emperor's eyes that night, it was guilt, regret, nostalgia, reluctance... all kinds of things Emotions mixed together, unforgettable.
That night, the emperor's condition improved slightly, and he was able to move a little bit. Before he had time to be happy, he was ordered to do such a thing, as if exhausted. After that night, the emperor's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and he was dizzy all day long. Yes, less and less waking time.
"Eunuch An really doesn't know what is written in this imperial decree?" Before Eunuch An could answer, Qi Mingxuan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "It doesn't matter if you know, come and serve me with pen and ink."
"An Yu, stay with Mr. An, take good care of him, and don't let anyone get into trouble."
Is this a dodge?Eunuch An's tense nerves finally relaxed. He knew that it was very risky to do this, but this was the last thing His Majesty ordered.
The imperial decree was unfolded and spread on the table, revealing the contents inside.Qi Mingxuan did not avoid Li Shu, but took his hand and stood side by side in front of the imperial decree.
"Zishu, tell me, the emperor left this decree and asked Mr. An to pass it on to me. Why?"
An unnamed imperial edict for passing the throne can be said to have solved a lot of troubles for Qi Mingxuan. With this edict, no matter how unwilling the ministers were, they had to hold their noses and congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.
"Your Majesty has given you the right to choose. Your Highness, no, Your Majesty, let me complete this edict."
With his right hand held by a man, Li Shu held a pen with his left hand, carefully completing the words on the imperial edict.
"Zi Shu's characters..." Qi Mingxuan was surprised when he saw the characters on the imperial edict with exactly the same stroke direction.
"I will imitate other people's handwriting." Not just handwriting, as long as Li Shu wants to, he can perfectly imitate everything about others.
This is a side that he has never known before. The youth unreservedly showed the unknown side to himself, how could he not be excited?
Qi Mingxuan stretched out his long arms, hugged the young man into his arms again, and gently kissed the hair.
"Zi Shu, don't leave me."
The author has something to say: Tanabata Small Theater:
Qi Mingxuan (anticipating): Zishu, today is Qixi Festival, can I have a holiday gift?
Li Shu: What do you want?
Qi Mingxuan (hesitates for a while, then whispers): ... the tail.
Li Shu (perplexed): What do you want a tail for?
Qi Mingxuan (voice became softer): ...on the bed...on...
Li Shu: ...
(So Qi Mingxuan was beaten up by Li Shu and thrown out of bed)
Qi Mingxuan: QAQ
(Nine tails are exciting to think about)
(Hey! Hold your head!)

Happy Qixi Festival, babies~

He didn't know why his feelings for Li Shu arose, he only knew that when he found out, this feeling had already penetrated into his bone marrow, and he couldn't give up anymore.

He doesn't know how to wipe people's hair. Qi Mingxuan helped him brush his own hair before. In the past, when encountering such a situation, he would directly use a small spell to solve it, which was quick and convenient.
It's a pity that there is no spiritual power in this world. There is no way to use this kind of small spell that needs to be maintained by spiritual power, and only the most primitive method can be used.
"it is good."
Qi Mingxuan took the scarf, touched Li Shu's with his fingers slightly, his mind was shaken, he had the urge to hold this hand, raised his eyes to meet the slightly smiling eyes of the young man, and forcibly endured this impulse.
The young man hasn't accepted him yet, so he can't act rashly.
"Your Highness, I have something to report." An Yu's voice came from outside the door, breaking the tenderness in the hall.
"Come in."
Although he didn't want people to disturb his time alone with the young man, Qi Mingxuan also knew that there was another important matter that needed to be resolved right now.
An Yu, also in armor, opened the door and came in, followed by a man in eunuch costume, Eunuch An.
Clasping fists, knelt down on one knee, "Master, Eunuch An said he has something important to report, and his subordinates cannot make a decision on this matter."
Eunuch An knelt down behind An Yu, bowed in the direction of Qi Mingxuan and Li Shu, and went straight to the point:
"Does His Highness King Qin know that His Majesty once made a will when he was seriously ill?"
Qi Mingxuan really didn't know about this matter, in terms of understanding of the emperor, no one could compare to Eunuch An who served the emperor every day.This matter is indeed of great importance, but I don't know what is written in the will?
If it was written about the eldest prince or one of the four princes, it would be easy to solve, but if it was about the other little princes, Qi Mingxuan would not be able to take that position justifiably.
The few little princes were raised in the strife in the harem, and they were timid and timid. They were not justified. They were afraid of some powerful ministers in the court. Compared with the unpredictable King Qin, the little princes who were easy to control were obviously more satisfied. their selfish desires.
The action was earlier than in the original plot, and the preparations were obviously not sufficient. Those thorny ministers were not dealt with. After Qi Mingxuan came to power, if he wanted to rehabilitate the Mu family, he still had to fight with them.
Qi Mingxuan stood beside Li Shu, upon hearing this, he stopped fiddling with his left hand on the cuff, pierced his dark and penetrating eyes at Eunuch An who was prostrate on the ground, and pursed his thin lips tightly.
"Do you know where the edict is?" Feeling the emotional turmoil in Qi Mingxuan's body, Li Shu asked for him.
A flash of surprise flashed in Eunuch An's eyes. It seems that the rumors are indeed true. The relationship between Lord Li and the King of Qin is really good. If not, how could Lord Li appear in the palace at this juncture and be firmly protected here? In the palace, now he can speak for King Qin again.
Seeing the expressionless expressions on the faces of King Qin's confidantes, Eunuch An collected his attention and replied respectfully: "This old slave knows that His Majesty let this imperial edict be hidden by this old slave."
"Why did you tell this king about the edict?" Qi Mingxuan showed a strange look on his face. Eunuch An was absolutely loyal to his father, why did he tell him about this after his father's death? Shouldn't you contact the courtiers outside at this time to fulfill the content of the will?
He believed that with Eunuch An's years of management in the palace, it would not be difficult to break through his blockade and spread a message to the outside world.
unless……
Eunuch An didn't answer Qi Mingxuan's question, but kowtowed again, and said, "This old slave can take your highness down to look for the edict."
"Okay, I will trust you once."
"Master! Be careful!" An Yu raised his head and looked at Qi Mingxuan anxiously. Who knows what kind of heart this eunuch has, what if he wants to harm the master.
"It's okay, Eunuch An, lead the way." After walking a few steps forward, Qi Mingxuan turned around, "Zi Shu, can you wait for me here?"
He was willing to take risks by himself, but he was reluctant to put Li Shu in danger.
"No, Your Highness, I want to go and have a look." Li Shu refused, his voice was not loud, but his attitude was uncompromising.
Qi Mingxuan thought about it and agreed.He knows that youth is not a canary kept in a beautiful cage, but an eagle soaring nine days. He cannot break the youth's wings because of his worry.
"Then Shu, let's come together." Qi Mingxuan compromised.
An Yu was used to this scene, but Eunuch An's heart stirred up a storm.King Qin, he has heard all kinds of rumors about decisive killings, ruthless methods, and one thing... all kinds of things, he followed the emperor, and the King Qin he saw was not the same as the rumors, but it was not much different.
But in front of this Master Li, it seems very different, all the sharpness has been subdued, and the aura of indisputableness has also disappeared. It seems that Li Shu, the Lord Li, holds a little more weight in King Qin's heart than he imagined.
Several people pierced through the darkness and stopped in front of an abandoned palace.The dark guards behind him dispersed automatically and searched the surroundings. Dark Feather came from a distance, and Qi Mingxuan nodded slightly.
It means that there is no problem found here.
Qi Mingxuan led the people inside without looking sideways, but the air pressure in his body dropped a lot.
Li Shu looked around while walking. The walls were cracked and mottled, and the ground was overgrown with weeds. They walked in through the weeds.Desolate and dilapidated, this place is completely inconsistent with the style of other palaces in the palace. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to imagine such a place in the palace.
The more you walk in, the more desolate it becomes. After years of wind and frost, this palace has long lost its appearance in the past, and only a little bit of the grand occasion of the past can be seen from some small details.
Qi Mingxuan's mood was wrong, and Li Shu was extremely sensitive to human emotions. The further he walked in, the more he could feel the violence overflowing from Qi Mingxuan's body.Li Shu turned his head and glanced at Qi Mingxuan, Qi Mingxuan raised his hand to cover his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't look."
He knew what kind of expression he would have now, and he didn't want the young man to see him like this, such a ghost with no grace, as if crawling out of hell.
Coming back here again, he thought he wouldn't be touched much, it seems that he still overestimated himself, he thought those things had faded from his memory, he thought he could face that period of the past calmly, but he couldn't.
From stepping here, he seemed to travel through time and space, back to more than ten years ago, and turned back to the seventh prince who was slaughtered by others. Those people laughed loudly in his ears as "disaster, disaster" and took care of him to grow up. The nurses and maids of the palace were pressed to the ground and whipped, and the screams were endless.
When he saw the blood staining the ground, Mammy stretched out her hand tremblingly, touched his cheek with her rough palm, and tried her best to smile: "Mammy can't stay with Your Highness any longer, Your Highness should take good care of yourself, stay healthy Kang grew up."
The temperature under his hands gradually disappeared, leaving only ice cold, and he stood alone in the yard, all the surrounding lights disappeared, and he lost the last warmth.
cold.
As if he had fallen into an ice cave, the chill was coming from all directions, as if to freeze his soul.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
In a word, the sun is shining, the ice and snow are melting, dispelling the chill, getting away from childhood memories, Qi Mingxuan put down his hand, met the young man's eyes, "It's all right."
There was a little worry in the young man's eyes, Qi Mingxuan was happy in his heart, and the corner of his mouth raised an inconspicuous small arc.
No matter what happened here, it has already passed, and he has revenged a thousand times for those people. He shouldn't be trapped by the memory of the past.
"Your Highness, I have it."
The posthumous edict was contained in a half-arm-long sandalwood box, in addition to the posthumous edict, there was also a palm-sized jade pendant in the wooden box.The whole body of the jade pendant is white and lustrous, with a vermilion bird spreading its wings and about to fly engraved on the front.
Seeing this jade pendant, Qi Mingxuan was a little dazed. If he guessed correctly, this jade pendant should belong to his mother and concubine.From birth, the children of the Mu family will be bestowed by their elders with a jade pendant consecrated by the master of Anguo Temple. The boy is an eagle and the girl is a vermilion bird. He also had a piece before, but it was broken.
"This jade pendant..." Isn't it a token of love from the male lead to the female lead, why does it appear here?
"It belongs to my mother and concubine." Qi Mingxuan picked up the jade pendant, and the word "Mu" was engraved on the back of the jade pendant. He rubbed it twice in his hand, and Qi Mingxuan asked, "You put this jade pendant in? Where did you come from?" This jade pendant you got?"
After getting the things, the group returned to the main hall. Eunuch An knelt on the ground and raised his head when he heard the words, "Your Highness said this to the old slave, how dare the old slave put things in it casually, this sandalwood box The old slaves did not release the things."
"Didn't you let it go?"
"It's absolutely true, Your Highness, this box was given to this old slave by His Majesty, even if this old slave had the guts to open it, he wouldn't dare to open it."
This is true, if the sandalwood box contained the will, Eunuch An would definitely not dare to touch the contents inside, if he was not careful, it would bring about catastrophe.
"Your Highness, let's read the will first." Li Shu reminded.
There is not much time left for them. If the content of the will is really unfavorable to them, they need to make plans as soon as possible.
Qi Mingxuan put the jade pendant back into the wooden box, and picked up the edict placed in the middle of the box.
Everyone waited with bated breath. Only Qi Mingxuan, Li Shu, An Yu, and Eunuch An were in the hall at the moment. An Yu stood beside Eunuch An, with his right hand on the hilt of his sword. If the content of the edict was wrong, he would attack Eunuch An. Just in case this gets out | Get out.
The bright yellow scroll was unfolded by a pair of knuckle hands, Qi Mingxuan closed the scroll after only two glances, and exhaled slowly.
"Your Highness?" An Yu slowly clenched her hand on the hilt of the sword.
Qi Mingxuan shook his head, signaling him not to act rashly.
"Eunuch An, what did the emperor say when he handed over the box to you?" Qi Mingxuan was in a complicated mood. He never expected that he would get such two things in the palace that he was least willing to face. something unexpected.
——The relics of his mother and concubine that he thought he would never find again, and a succession edict with only the name of the successor empty.
"No, His Majesty couldn't speak at that time, but just instructed me to hand over this box to you." Eunuch An still remembered the complex look in the emperor's eyes that night, it was guilt, regret, nostalgia, reluctance... all kinds of things Emotions mixed together, unforgettable.
That night, the emperor's condition improved slightly, and he was able to move a little bit. Before he had time to be happy, he was ordered to do such a thing, as if exhausted. After that night, the emperor's condition took a sharp turn for the worse, and he was dizzy all day long. Yes, less and less waking time.
"Eunuch An really doesn't know what is written in this imperial decree?" Before Eunuch An could answer, Qi Mingxuan smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, "It doesn't matter if you know, come and serve me with pen and ink."
"An Yu, stay with Mr. An, take good care of him, and don't let anyone get into trouble."
Is this a dodge?Eunuch An's tense nerves finally relaxed. He knew that it was very risky to do this, but this was the last thing His Majesty ordered.
The imperial decree was unfolded and spread on the table, revealing the contents inside.Qi Mingxuan did not avoid Li Shu, but took his hand and stood side by side in front of the imperial decree.
"Zishu, tell me, the emperor left this decree and asked Mr. An to pass it on to me. Why?"
An unnamed imperial edict for passing the throne can be said to have solved a lot of troubles for Qi Mingxuan. With this edict, no matter how unwilling the ministers were, they had to hold their noses and congratulate the new emperor on his ascension to the throne.
"Your Majesty has given you the right to choose. Your Highness, no, Your Majesty, let me complete this edict."
With his right hand held by a man, Li Shu held a pen with his left hand, carefully completing the words on the imperial edict.
"Zi Shu's characters..." Qi Mingxuan was surprised when he saw the characters on the imperial edict with exactly the same stroke direction.
"I will imitate other people's handwriting." Not just handwriting, as long as Li Shu wants to, he can perfectly imitate everything about others.
This is a side that he has never known before. The youth unreservedly showed the unknown side to himself, how could he not be excited?
Qi Mingxuan stretched out his long arms, hugged the young man into his arms again, and gently kissed the hair.
"Zi Shu, don't leave me."
The author has something to say: Tanabata Small Theater:
Qi Mingxuan (anticipating): Zishu, today is Qixi Festival, can I have a holiday gift?
Li Shu: What do you want?
Qi Mingxuan (hesitates for a while, then whispers): ... the tail.
Li Shu (perplexed): What do you want a tail for?
Qi Mingxuan (voice became softer): ...on the bed...on...
Li Shu: ...
(So Qi Mingxuan was beaten up by Li Shu and thrown out of bed)
Qi Mingxuan: QAQ
(Nine tails are exciting to think about)
(Hey! Hold your head!)
