Things are going to change recently.

I don't know when, this sentence began to spread in the imperial city. Every time I went to a small tea stand on the side of the road to sit for a while, I could hear some grandparents talking about this matter in high spirits.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that when King Congrong asked for his order to leave the capital to eradicate a group of rebels who had been rampant in the northwest recently, there were faint rumors of this kind?

Gu Kai walked into the tea shed, raised his hand and ordered a pot of tea.

The waiter ran over enthusiastically, put the tea on the table, looked at Gu Kai's expression carefully, and poured him a bowl of tea hesitantly.

After finishing these things, he pulled the smile on his face, threw the white towel over his shoulders, said "Call me if you have something to do", and left staggeringly to greet the new guests.

The tea is light yellow, lying quietly in the teacup, steaming faintly.

Gu Kai stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the wall of the bowl, and felt it was a little hot, so he gently pushed the tea bowl aside, then pulled the lid of the teapot, lifted it, and watched a large gust of hot air gushing out. A small layer of water droplets condensed on the slightly lowered hands.

There were a few old men and women sitting on the table next to him, and they gathered together and whispered.

But in this so-called "whispering", except for one word "language" which is slightly consistent with the current scene, the other three words can be said to be completely opposite.

The truth is, they chatted so loudly that the whole tea shed could hear them.

It would be fine if they were talking about their parents, but what they were talking about was the little things about King Rong, His Majesty, and Yan Guiren, and it was still at this slightly tense moment.

The boss who was sitting in the shop to settle the accounts was terrified, and hurried up to remind them not to say such things in public.

After listening to the boss's advice, these people agreed repeatedly, but they just turned around and lowered their voices slightly, and after a while they resumed their previous style.

Seeing this, the boss didn't want to advise any more. After shaking his head helplessly, he lowered his head and continued to settle his own account.

Gu Kai stretched out his hand to cover the lid of the teapot, and he also moved his body to the side.

Sure enough, after a while, two rows of patrolling officers and soldiers came over, each with a cold face.

They stretched out their hands to frame the group of people, pointed their spears at them, and escorted them to the Yamen.

This group of old men and women whose daily hobby is to gossip, saw the tip of the spear pointing at them, and their eager gossip mentality had already flown for more than half. go.

There were two unconvinced old men, stretched out their hands to adjust their clothes, straightened their waists, and just about to argue with this group of officers and soldiers, they were frightened by the snow-white gun points, and hurriedly stopped what they were about to say. I pursed my mouth.

At the same time, there are many teahouses and restaurants, and the same case is happening...

The imperial court's punishment for those who spread bad ideas came out quickly, most of them were fined, and a few of the vile ones were punished.

The most severe punishment was the beloved son of a certain official. When he was talking about the grievances between the emperor and King Rong with his friends, he was reported by his friends, and even his father was demoted, and the whole family fell into a trough.

When Gu Kai and Bian Xiaoping's family were sitting in the lobby chatting about the recent events in the imperial city, Bian Wang couldn't help interjecting, and she said, "Why don't we go out... don't stay here... ..." She paused her words, hesitated for a moment, and continued: "I heard...the sky will change..."

Her words made Gu Kai frowned, but Bian Xiaoping couldn't see that someone said something bad about the royal family, so she turned dark and glared at her mother: "Don't say that, the sky is still good, how could it change. "

Bian Wang glanced at her daughter, she was not well-educated, but she could feel her dissatisfaction from Bian Xiaoping's words.

She couldn't help opening her mouth, trying to argue that almost everyone on the street said that, but in the end she just swallowed the words silently, lowered her head and quietly stopped talking.

Bian Xiaoping thought of Lu Xiujie, Yan Xueyi, and many palace maids and guards who had a good relationship with her, and imagined that if a war really broke out, they would all be displaced or even die, and she felt as if something was blocking her Same, can't breathe.

Seeing that Bian Xiaoping's complexion was not good, Bian Wang's expression had nothing to do with happiness, and Bian Zhu was sitting beside him smoking his dry cigarette, Gu Kai could only sigh and explain for Bian Xiaoping: "If you change God, we don't have such a stable life anymore, so she doesn't like to mention such things. "

Those topics about the safety of the people and the safety of the country are not important to the ordinary people. If you say so, it will not resonate at all.

So Gu Kai explained the disadvantages of changing the sky from a personal point of view, which is still close to life, which made Bian Wang suddenly realized, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, expressing that he understood, and would not talk about such things in the future.

Gu Kai, Bian Xiaoping and the others hastily ended the discussion about "changing the sky" here, but in the palace, Lu Xiujie's expression was definitely not "joyful".

It can even be said——he now has a gloomy complexion, his lips are tightly closed, and his eyes are covered with dark clouds, as if an earth-shattering heavy rain will fall in the next second.

He waved his hand to let the servants who were kneeling on the ground back out, then leaned his body back sharply, and stuck it firmly against the back of the chair.

He was still thinking about the phrase "The sky is going to change recently". There are men and women, old and young who say this sentence, and their voices are also high or low, big or small...

Anyway, in Lu Xiujie's heart, everyone in the world is saying this, knowing and believing that their dynasty is about to change.

When he thought of this, he couldn't help standing up and walking back and forth in the room.

After walking around quickly, he felt dizzy in his eyes, and after hesitating for a moment, he walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside the window.

In the garden outside the window, there was a big court lady leading a group of court ladies passing by. These people were all well-trained and walked in a very uniform pace.

Seeing that they were not flustered, Lu Xiujie couldn't help heaving a long sigh of relief, feeling that these ladies seemed to have comforted his restless mood.

The group of maids were going in the direction of Xueyi Palace, Lu Xiujie then moved his eyes there, and thought of Yan Xueyi.

He should sit with Yan Xueyi, maybe she can calm him down.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiujie turned around and sorted out the scattered memorials on the table, then went out and called the eunuch beside him, and went to Xueyi Palace with him.

The eunuch carefully arranged his appearance, and then they walked towards Xueyi Palace one by one.

The maids and guards I met on the road were all calm and calm, none of them were affected by the rumors outside, Lu Xiujie stared at them for a long time, after confirming that these servants had no other thoughts, he finally bent down slightly, I felt that half of the anger and fear in my body had been eliminated, and my heart was much more stable.

Entering Xueyi Palace, Yan Xueyi was lying on the beauty couch and taking a nap, beside a little palace lady was beating her leg lightly, her movements were very rhythmic.

Seeing Lu Xiujie approaching, the little maid hurriedly stood up, bent over and stepped aside.

Lu Xiujie sat next to Yan Xueyi who was covering his face with a book, and subconsciously raised his head to look at the maid, but was surprised to find that the little maid looked familiar.

There are many court ladies, eunuchs, eunuchs and guards he is familiar with, and it is really not easy to match them one by one immediately, so it was not until Yan Xueyi sat up lazily under his teasing that he remembered the identity of this person—isn’t she The little maid who once stole Yan Xueyi's jade pendant?

Thinking of Yupei, Lu Xiujie felt that his mood, which had finally been cheered up, was showing signs of getting worse again.

Isn't the jade pendant lost now?It seems that she was still thrown in the palace... Maybe Yan Xueyi gave Lu Xiurong... No, it won't.

Lu Xiujie took a deep breath.

At this time, his eyes fell on the maid next to him, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he felt that he had an excellent explanation:

This court lady colluded with Lu Xiurong and wanted to steal Yan Xueyi's jade pendant to Lu Xiurong.

OK, this explanation is very correct.

Lu Xiujie seemed to have found an excuse for himself, he even smiled slightly, as if he wanted to praise his wit.

So when he was chatting with Yan Xueyi, he said casually: "Did that maid steal your jade pendant?" Seeing Yan Xueyi looked up at him, Lu Xiujie added a sentence calmly: " It seems to have been stolen twice."

Finally, he made a conclusion: "Then pull him out and beat him to death with a stick, and warn those restless servants."

The order came too suddenly, Yan Xueyi and the little maid hadn't even reacted when they saw a few strong guards approaching, each of them rudely pushed the little maid out.

The little palace maid's "Ma'am" came to Yan Xueyi's ears along with the wind.

She stood up a little anxiously, sat down again, glanced at Lu Xiujie's expression, and in the end she still didn't dare to say a word for this court lady who had been by her side for a long time and was quite fond of her.

During the following period of time, Yan Xueyi's complexion was very bad, she carefully observed Lu Xiujie's expression, and even thought of Lu Xiurong's gentleness at this moment.

At least Lu Xiurong wouldn't be so nervous and suddenly kill someone.

She sighed leisurely, and heard the guards come to report that the maid had been killed with a stick.

Lu Xiujie nodded, then turned his head and asked Yan Xueyi softly, are you happy that you helped her deal with the servant who had a different heart?

Facing Lu Xiurong's weird and crazy gaze, Yan Xueyi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, feeling bitter in her mouth.

But she still put on an expression of admiration on her face, and said to Lu Xiujie, "My concubine, thank you, Your Majesty."

After she finished speaking, in Lu Xiujie's gentle voice, she raised her head and looked out the window.

In the yard outside the window, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and the court ladies in beautiful clothes are shuttling among them, which is a scene of joy.
