Funing Hall

The Kunning Palace on a rainy night is a bit gloomy.

This is a palace for the queen to live in, but there has been no queen in the palace, so it has been empty.And it is in the innermost part of the palace, so it can hide people very well.

The little palace lady who just ran out from Xueliu Pavilion sneaked in and was about to call "aunt" when someone held her hand behind her.

She turned around and whispered, "Auntie."

Hidden in the shadows, Aunt Wang asked, "How?"

"Madam Qian is full of worry, His Majesty is really sick again, he ate that thing."

Aunt Wang smiled, and said again: "Have you put away the hibiscus hairpin?"

"Don't worry, Miss Qi's jewelry is all taken care of by the servant girl. When she learned that the flower hairpin was sent to her by mistake, she immediately ordered the servant girl to return the flower hairpin to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu’s sister Piaoshu didn’t even see her. The other court ladies are upright. How can she, a beauty, give things back to Concubine Shu? Don’t mention it, she didn’t even look at it! Now the hibiscus flower hairpin is in the maid’s cage Among them, Concubine Shu and Lady Qi don't know anyone, they just stay with each other."

"Very good, you can go tomorrow."

"Yes, it's just—"

Aunt Wang smiled: "The eunuch who was in love with you has been released."

The little palace maid hurriedly knelt down and said in tears, "My servant is grateful for my aunt's life-saving grace!"

"If you handle the errands well, later on, it's okay for me to let you two go out of the palace to be a pair of mandarin ducks."

The little palace maid was overjoyed, and immediately promised: "The servant girl will definitely handle the errand well! Auntie, don't worry!"

After Aunt Wang explained a few more words, she left the Kunning Hall first, and her figure gradually disappeared on the dark palace road.

After a night of rain, the sky was a little cooler.

When Piao Shu was dressing Qian Yuemo, she said: "At noon, you send the soup you stewed today to Funing Palace."

"Miss not going today?"

"It's raining today. Your Majesty and I will go to the back garden to enjoy the rain scene in the afternoon. I won't go now."

Piaoshu was very happy when he heard it, and immediately agreed.

At the beginning of the afternoon, the rain did not decrease, but became heavier and heavier.

Piaoshu is carrying the food box, and two other maids are holding umbrellas for her, they are about to leave Xueliu Pavilion.

The little palace maid from Yanming Pavilion came again, she also held a food box in her hand, and said timidly: "Sister, this is the soup Madam Qi made for His Majesty..."

Dissatisfied with Piao Shu, she secretly "hmph" in her heart, this Mrs. Qi, she doesn't know how to make progress, and always borrows others' autumn wind!

Forget it, their wives are kind-hearted, and let the little palace maid follow her to see them, and know that His Majesty only cares about their wives.From now on, Lady Qi will be honest!

She said: "Then you can go together."

"Thank you, sister! My sister is so kind! But, won't Concubine Shu go to your Majesty's place?" the little maid asked.

Piaoshu is proud, their wives are favored, His Majesty celebrates his birthday today, even when he is sick, he will not forget to be with their wives.She smiled and said: "Later, my lady will go to the back garden with His Majesty to enjoy the rain scene."

The little palace maid flattered: "Concubine Shu is really the one in His Majesty's heart!"

Piaoshu smiled even more proudly.

Qian Yuemo stood in front of the door and watched the little maid leave with Piaoshu.

She raised the corner of her mouth and smiled, a small dimple appeared on her right cheek, which was very sweet.

Chaxi sent the painting to the main hall, and when she came back, she was a little depressed: "Little Lang, our Majesty is ill again."

Zhao Shishi was writing big characters. Hearing this, his hands didn't stop, and he continued to write stroke by stroke.

"The painting has been delivered, but His Majesty is still lying on the bed and has no energy to read. Sister Rantao has put it in the inner room." Chaxi has always been able to talk, and said, "When the servant girl came out, where was the lady Qian?" Sister Rantao was very happy when Piaoshu brought soup again. Presumably His Majesty will feel much better after drinking the soup stewed by Mrs. Qian herself. Sigh, it's getting cold again, when will His Majesty recover? ah--"

Zhao Shishi's hand stopped after all, and he put down his pen.

"Xiao Langjun, go and see His Majesty. Today is His Majesty's birthday, so it's okay to do nothing. It's still raining, and His Majesty's health is not good, and you can't even eat birthday noodles. Because of the rain, Your Majesty sent a message early After going out of the palace, the Princess probably won't come either. But no one came from the Queen Mother's place, Sister Rantao looked fine. But the servant girl was not very happy, the Queen Mother Sun is deceiving people too much!

It's not that our majesty is not in good health. When your majesty recovers, they will look good!When the Mid-Autumn Festival was in the Kunning Hall, the Empress Dowager Sun did not dare to be in the same room with our Majesty!Not to mention that day in the Chui Gong Temple, hum!No one dared to say a word!Our Majesty has never been in charge, and those ministers are also afraid of him... When a god can heal our Majesty's body, it would be great—"

Zhao Shiyi stared at the paper in front of him in rapt attention. How could Cha Xi and the others know that that day might never happen again.

Zhao Cong lay down until the afternoon, and got up to go to the back garden.

Rantao persuaded: "Your Majesty, it's raining so much today, so don't go."

"It's okay, I'm celebrating my birthday today, and I want to enjoy the scenery with the people I like. As long as I wear more clothes, I'll be fine."

This made Rantao feel a little sad, their majesty finally found someone they love, and it was hard for them to celebrate their birthday.She didn't object anymore, and brought a very thick cloak to put on for him.

Zhao Cong said again: "Don't let too many people follow. It's raining, so many people will be troublesome. You and Fu Lu will be fine with me."

But his body is not good, the cloak has a hood, before going out, Rantao carefully put it on for him, and Fulu went out with him.

Before walking out of the inner room, Zhao Cong saw the brocade box on the table.

He stopped in his tracks: "This is?"

"This is a birthday gift from Mr. Xiao Lang. His Majesty has been resting just now, so the servant girl is here first."

Zhao Cong laughed immediately: "He came earlier? He didn't even ask me to get up."

"It's from Chaxi."

Zhao Cong was not angry either: "It's raining outside, he's still young, it's only serious to stay indoors."

Ran Tao smiled: "Your Majesty always speaks for Xiao Langjun."

"Bring the brocade box, let me have a look."

"Yes."

Ran Tao showed him the brocade box, and Zhao Cong picked up the scroll with his own hands and untied the ribbon.He unfolded the scroll, and Fu Lu held the other side for him, and a picture of autumn scenery slowly appeared in front of Zhao Cong.

Under the slanting sun of autumn, the vermilion pavilion is also stained with golden light.

Not to mention the lotus remaining on the lake and the mandarin ducks drinking with their heads down, all of which are approached by the light.

Looking at this painting, Zhao Cong's heart is very warm. The words are like the person, and so are the paintings.

Being able to make such a picture shows that the child is really a peaceful, quiet and warm person in his heart.

In particular, there are five characters written in the lower left corner of the picture scroll: He Zongbao's birthday.

Zhao Cong was delighted, he actually really liked his original name, what a blessing, what a lovely name.It's really cute that Zhao Shishi actually called him that.He didn't think that Zhao Shiyi didn't understand the rules, after all, he was close to him, so he dared to call him that.

The five-character convenience is Zhao Shishi's seal, or he gave it to Zhao Shishi.

Zhao Cong's smile deepened, he looked at it reluctantly for a long time, and then uploaded the scroll again.

After he has resolved today's major event, come back and appreciate it slowly.

After he finishes performing today's big show, everything will be fine, and no one will be on top of him from now on.

He walked out easily, and his body, which was originally unimpeded, became lighter.

Rantao's painting of Xiao Langjun made His Majesty feel better and happy, thinking to himself, it is really Xiao Langjun who is most effective in coaxing His Majesty.

Just before leaving the palace gate, Zhao Cong suddenly remembered something, he turned around and asked Fu Lu: "Where is the knife made for Mr. Xiao Lang last time?"

"The master said that it can be made today."

"Then go and watch it quickly. Once you're done, bring the knife to Mr. Xiao Lang."

Ran Tao smiled: "Your Majesty, there's no such thing as a hurry."

Zhao Cong also laughed, they didn't understand.

He is very happy now, the child gave him such a good birthday present, and he also wants to make the child happy.

Fu Lu was ordered to fetch the knife, and he and Rantao went to the back garden together.

The scenery in the back garden at the moment is really good.The back garden is shrouded in rain and fog, hazy and misty, with a hint of Jiangnan.Zhao Shishi once thought he was right, Zhao Cong did prefer these hazy things.

As usual, Zhao Cong boarded his favorite small pavilion, and found the perspective of Zhao Shishi when he was painting, admiring the different scenery under the rain.

Rantao looked around and asked, "Your Majesty, why is Concubine Shu not here yet?"

Why don't you come?

Because before the time came, he had already made an appointment with Qian Yuemo, and it would not have been a minute earlier.

"Wait a little longer," he said.

Wait a moment, Concubine Shu is still the future.It was about the same time, Zhao Cong said: "Look around, I'm afraid there may be delays on the way."

"No, the servant girl is gone, who will serve His Majesty?"

Zhao Cong smiled: "You go, there is no one here, and Fulu is coming."

"His Majesty--"

"Go, I will let you go and see."

Rantao frowned, knowing that His Majesty was worried about Concubine Shu, so he had to agree.She explained a lot of things, and then hurriedly walked out of the back garden with an umbrella.

As soon as she left, Zhao Cong stood up, and he leaned over to look at the lake, thinking, he doesn't know how cold the water is.He reached out and took off the hood on his head, found the best position, leaned back, and fell directly into the rainy lake without any hesitation.

If the enemy moves, he wants to move even more.If you want to move, move big.

It's not that he doesn't cherish himself, it's just that this is the fastest and most ruthless way, he doesn't want to spend any more time with Queen Mother Sun.No matter who is behind Aunt Wang, the one who "pushed him into the water" and "poisoned" him today can only be the Empress Dowager Sun.

The Empress Dowager Sun is the Empress Dowager after all, and she raised him up. Everyone in the world knows that this is the Great Song Dynasty, which places great emphasis on filial piety.

As long as her reputation does not decline, he will not be able to get any benefits.

This time, if the Empress Dowager Sun is not forced to hand over the imperial treasure, and if the Empress Dowager Sun's reputation is not completely ruined, his surname will not be Zhao!

Fu Lu took the knife and immediately returned to Funing Hall.

Seeing him coming, Cha Xi happily said, "Mr. Fu, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty ordered me to deliver something to Mr. Xiao Lang."

"Okay!"

"What is Mr. Xiao Lang doing?"

Cha Xi led him to the study: "Young Master is practicing big characters."

Fu Lu walked into the study with a smile, and saluted: "I have seen Mr. Xiao Lang."

Zhao Cong's face was all over Zhao Shiyi's mind, but he didn't dare to think about it, didn't dare to look at it, so he could only practice calligraphy over and over again.Suddenly hearing Fu Lu's voice, he paused and looked up at him.

Fu Lu smiled and offered the wooden box in his hand: "Your Majesty ordered the little one to send this."

Cha Xi asked on his behalf: "I don't know what it is?"

"I'm afraid you have to see it for yourself, Mr. Xiaolang."

Chaxi took the wooden box and brought it to Zhao Shishi: "Little Lang, please open it quickly and see what His Majesty gave you?"

How dare Zhao Shishi look at what Zhao Cong gave him?

He was so tense right now that he didn't even dare to move, let alone open the box.

"Xiao Langjun?" Chaxi was puzzled.

Fu Lu smiled: "Young Lord has a pen in his hand, why don't you open it for Xiao Langjun."

"Yes!" Chaxi reached out to open the box, and then exclaimed.

Zhao Shishi knew he shouldn't look at it, but he took a look anyway.

After just one glance, he couldn't look away.

In the box is a knife, a sharp knife, and even a beautiful knife.

It was a knife he had seen before.

The knife he had seen in his dream!

In the absurd dream that day, the knife Zhao Cong held in his hand was like this!

He couldn't help it anymore, and couldn't help reaching out to pick up the knife.The handle of the knife was cold, but when it was in his hands, it quickly became warm.He looked carefully at the point, the handle, and the gemstones.

Fu Lu smiled and said: "The style of this knife was modified by His Majesty himself after reading the blueprint. It was only intended to be inlaid with sapphires, but His Majesty said that the one inlaid with red is more suitable for Xiaolang..."

Zhao Shishi looked at the gemstone, intending to force himself to look away, but found that his index finger happened to cover a line of inscriptions.He moved his index finger in disbelief, and saw three words: Little Eleven.

There seemed to be a "boom" in his mind.

Fu Lu was still talking: "Your Majesty is very happy to see Xiao Langjun's painting today, and he refuses to let it go..."

Zhao Shishi never heard a word again.

His body seemed to be no longer under the control of his head, and his head?

He even thought he had lost his head, the thing on top of his head could no longer give any thought and response.

At this moment, the only thing that can be followed is the original heart.

Only the heart that was pierced by Zhao Zongning's sword.

He put the knife on the table, and before everyone could react, he went around the desk and walked out.

He had already been stabbed by Zhao Zongning once.

He didn't want to be stabbed by Zhao Cong again.

It will be very painful, very painful, even more painful than when I died in my previous life.

He never knew what pain was.

But at this moment when he saw the knife, his heart felt a faint pain. If Zhao Cong really died, he couldn't imagine what would happen to it.

Fu Lu was taken aback, and said: "Xiao Langjun, His Majesty is not in the palace, he—"

Zhao Shishi suddenly changed from walking to running. He ran out of the study room, the main hall, the side hall, and even the Funing Hall.

He knew where Zhao Cong was.

Zhao Cong is in the back garden.

In his previous life, he ate hallucinogenic poisonous mushrooms, fell into the lake and drowned when he was tricked into the back garden.No one was able to find out the root cause, it was just that the road was slippery in rainy days, and he slipped and fell into the water.

Is it ridiculous?very sad?

But Zhao Cong in his previous life died so ridiculously and sadly!

Cha Xi and the others had never seen Zhao Shiyi like this before. After a few breaths after he rushed out, Cha Xi was startled, and ran out: "Young Lord! You can't touch the water with your arms! You should wait for the maid to give you a hand!" You hold an umbrella! Mr. Xiaolang!"

Fu Lu also ran out. He called Shang Luyuan, Ji Xiang and Ji Li, and said loudly, "Follow me to the back garden!"

For some reason, he was also inexplicably flustered.

But none of them caught up with Zhao Shishi, and when they ran out of Funing Hall, there was no sign of Zhao Shishi, so they had to rush to the back garden.On the way, they met Rantao and Qian Yuemo again.They looked at each other, and their hearts "thumped" together.

Zhao Shishi had no time to walk through the gates and palace passages, so he climbed over the wall and walked through several empty palaces, and hurried to the back garden.

Panting, he fell down from the courtyard wall of the back garden, and heard the sound of falling water in the distance.

His feet went limp, and he ran towards the source of the sound.

Zhao Cong loved swimming very much in his previous life, and even won a trophy in a swimming competition when he was a child, but after his parents passed away, he stopped practicing.But his foundation is still there. Compared with ordinary people, his swimming skills are still good.

In particular, he loves diving. Whenever he was depressed and unable to restrain himself, he would find an island to stay alone for ten days, mainly for diving.Some people have abyssal phobia, but he doesn’t have it at all. He wished he could dive deeper, be at the bottom of the sea, and never have to return to land.

It seems that in that way, you can get closer to your parents.

When discussing this matter with Qian Yuemo before, he planned to fall directly into the water.

If you want to play, you have to play a big one.

But he didn't tell Qian Yuemo of his plan, otherwise even she, who is smart and exquisite, would not be willing to help.

Who would dare to watch the dignified emperor of the Song Dynasty take the initiative to dive into the water to die?

At that time, he only said that at that time, he would take advantage of the slippery road in the rainy day and fall, and find out the person behind the scenes by the way.

Now he jumped into the water, except that he was indeed a little cold, and everything else was fine.Now the ecological environment is good, the water quality is very good, it is not very uncomfortable to open your eyes, and you can touch the koi in the water with your hands.

He was actually quite happy, thinking that if this scene was shot in a movie, it would be very beautiful, especially since he was still wearing a red dress.He closed his eyes and waited for Qian Yuemo to bring someone over to finish the scene.

Therefore, when the sound of diving suddenly came to his ears, he was also taken aback. Why did the person come earlier than he imagined?

He had kept his eyes closed to prevent his eyes from getting swollen after looking underwater for a long time.He didn't care about it at this moment, he opened his eyes and looked back, only to see Zhao Shiyi swimming from a distance!

He jumped into the water standing on the pavilion, and he just jumped into the middle of the lake.

Zhao Shishi swam from the shore.

He couldn't help feeling a little anxious!

Isn't this little idiot staying in the palace?Why did you come here all of a sudden?Not to mention that this idiot's arm is still injured, it's okay not to mention, but Zhao Cong has seen the wound on his arm open again, and the water is covered with red blood.

Zhao Cong was a little anxious, he turned around and wanted to go to Zhao Shishi.

Zhao Shishi had already swam to his side, dived into the water, and wrapped his arms around his waist.

In front of Zhao Cong was Zhao Shiyi's injured arm, blood was flowing out, staining the small area of ​​water in front of him red.

The water was really cold, and Zhao Cong's body felt a little uncomfortable because of Zhao Shiyi's sudden appearance.But Zhao Shiyi held him firmly and pushed him to the surface of the water.

He was anxious, so he couldn't help but want to reprimand Zhao Shishi, it was just nonsense!

But when he opened his mouth, water gushed into his nose and mouth.

After all, he overestimated his body in this life, and he choked up in the water, his throat was very uncomfortable, and his body was a little weak, and he tried to grab Zhao Shishi's hand with his backhand.Zhao Shishi had already grabbed his hand and pushed him out of the water. When his face came into contact with the raindrops, Zhao Cong passed out before he could take a breath.

Zhao Shishi's heart was shaking, and his hands were shaking, but the arm around Zhao Cong's shoulder was very strong.Although, the blood on his arm has dyed more and more waters red, even the koi dare not approach.

He took a deep breath, brought Zhao Cong to the shore, and pushed Zhao Cong to the ground first.He turned to land again, he didn't care to look at his arms, put his hands on the sides of Zhao Cong's body, and looked down at Zhao Cong's face.

Terribly white.

He couldn't help thinking, how could Zhao Cong's face be so white?

Zhao Cong was very quiet, as if he was dead.

He didn't dare to reach out to touch Zhao Cong's nose, and his back was being washed by the rain, so he pressed down and put his head close to Zhao Cong's heart.

The whole world seemed to have quieted down.

He heard the beating of his heart.

Zhao Cong is not dead.

He laughed.

Then, he was exhausted.

He turned over and lay down on the ground, lying side by side with Zhao Cong, facing the suddenly heavier rain with Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong is not dead.

Not only did Zhao Cong not die, Zhao Cong almost died, but Zhao Cong was rescued by him.

What was he going to the palace for?

After all, he failed to cross the small stream between him and Zhao Cong's throne.

He fell into the icier, cooler, deeper lake.

He suddenly laughed loudly, who is he laughing at?Laugh at Zhao Cong?

He laughs at himself.

Why on earth did he want to enter the palace?He personally cut off the Yangguan Avenue that was supposed to be golden in his life!

He laughed wildly and sadly in the rain.

This is the most frightening thing. He saved Zhao Cong and cut off his own path, but he didn't regret it.

He clenched his fists with both hands, hammered the ground, and shouted loudly: "Come on!!——"
