Nether Jade

The night wind blew rustlingly, patting Yi Shisan's trouser legs.It's late autumn, when the branches are broken and the leaves are falling, the sound of the cloth material becomes light.

Yi Shisan was sticking to the ridge of the roof in the posture of an octopus, staring at the guards walking back and forth between the palaces with rounded eyes.

When the leaders of the two pairs of soldiers finally came to gossip, one turned over and got in through a pried open window.

Chengyu Palace is divided into the main hall, the east and west hatchbacks, and the backyard.

Yi Shisan guessed that Emperor Hongwen was having a good time with a certain concubine in the apse at this time, so he boldly picked it up from the west chamber.

The cabinets, boxes, and boxes were searched quickly, but nothing was found. Yi Shisan went to the east chamber according to the progress.

As soon as he touched the table, a strange fragrance wafted from his nose, he moved his nose, his head was a little dizzy, and Yi Shisan shivered, this is... rosemary!

Yi Shisan cursed secretly in his heart, while groping around, there are already people patrolling outside, so it is impossible to go out, the only thing to do is to see if the incense can be extinguished.The fragrance is even and the eunuch must have forgotten it.

After lifting countless layers of curtains, I finally found the source of the incense.

Yi Shisan knelt down on a soft cushion very impolitely, and reached out to pick the rosemary vessel.

The hand will be pulled on the chain, and a deep voice comes from behind, "What are you doing on my bed?"

Yi Shisan shivered, and immediately withdrew his body. When he turned around, he could only see a vague outline on the bed.

With trembling hands accumulating energy, he tried to think about the possibility that he could knock the emperor unconscious instead of knocking him unconscious or killing him.

A little eunuch with sharp ears came in with a lantern outside.

The little eunuch was startled when he saw the unfamiliar face in the eunuch's uniform. When he came back, he was still worried that he would be punished if he slipped to the toilet and came back. He didn't expect someone to watch the night for him, so he couldn't help but feel happy.

But looking at Emperor Hongwen's face again, the joy dissipated a bit.I had no choice but to carefully bow to the lamp while reprimanding Yi Shisan, "The emperor sleeps lightly at night, why don't you find someone who is light-footed in exchange for sleeping incense?"

Yi Shisan was stunned, and stared blankly at the gold thread hollow incense ball in his hand.It turned out to be sleeping incense.

Emperor Hongwen frowned, "You changed incense and found the east chamber from the west chamber to serve you for so long and don't know where my bed is?"

Yi Shisan rolled his eyes, slapped his sleeves and knelt down, stammering, "Slave, I just lost my way."

Emperor Hongwen: "Lost?"

The little eunuch put away his chin that was about to drop, and said with an idea, "Your Majesty, this is a newcomer. Didn't Xiao Shunzi who served you tea a while ago get sent away? The prince just appointed a newcomer to replace him." .”

Yi Shisan's mind was short-circuited for a long time, and at this moment he finally came to life, and kowtowed: "Damn you, you shocked the emperor."

Emperor Hongwen's complexion was gloomy, he stared at Yi Shisan hard, and said through gnashing of teeth: "You really deserve to die, why don't you get out of my bed quickly."

Yi Shisan immediately rolled and crawled from the bed to the ground and knelt down, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he thought that Longtao was a soft cushion just now.

The little eunuch bowed and handed the tea to Emperor Hongwen's mouth. Emperor Hongwen took a sip, looked at Yi Shisan who bowed his head in front of him, and said displeasedly: "Go get the board yourself."

"Ah?" Yi Shisan raised his head, seeing Emperor Hongwen got up to change clothes, the little eunuch winked at him desperately, and then retreated shyly.

After Yi Shisan suffered [-] boards, he couldn't leave even if he wanted to.

On the one hand, Manager Wang was worried that he couldn't find a replacement, and seeing that Yi Shisan had a good face, he really let him fill Xiao Shunzi's place.

On the other hand, the injury is a bit serious, and it is still laborious to fly over the eaves and walls, and it is extremely easy to be exposed.

When there was no rest in the palace, the next day, Yi Shisan went to serve in front of the imperial court with his buttocks in his hands.

Emperor Hongwen didn't see him clearly through the candlelight that night, and thought he was a newcomer today, so he asked casually, "What's your name?"

Yi Shisan replied obediently, "Little Sanzi."

The emperor nodded and continued to critique the papers.

Yi Shisan refilled his tea twice, glanced around the room several times, and gradually became sleepy, so he shook his head and dozed off.

As soon as the few books were gone, the ink was almost finished. Seeing that the eunuch was not paying attention, he had to remind him, "Grind the ink."

There was no movement for a long time.

Looking up, the eunuch fell asleep leaning on his flower stand.

Emperor Hongwen got angry again, and was about to call someone, when someone came from outside to pass the word, "The Fourth Prince is here."

Yi Shisan was awakened with a start, his black eyes glanced at the man in the jade crown and fine attire who was walking in slowly, then quickly lowered his head, and hurriedly went to refill water for His Majesty and the prince.

Xu Shi felt the probing eyes of the next one, Yi Shisan trembled when adding water, and dropped two or three drops of tea onto Emperor Hongwen's sleeve.

Emperor Hongwen brushed off his sleeves, couldn't bear it anymore and said: "Go away."

Only then did Yi Shisan follow suit.

The Fourth Prince waved his fan and looked towards the door, "Why don't you give me this eunuch, Brother Huang."

Emperor Hongwen frowned and said, "What's wrong with you now? It's just convenient to linger in some obscure places, but now you have fallen to this point."

The fourth prince laughed and said: "What's the rush, brother, but he's just a eunuch, it's interesting to look down and be pleasing to the eye."

Emperor Hongwen waved his hand: "That's all, that's all, it's up to you."

"Brother Xie."

Coming out of the study, the fourth prince was walking ahead, and Yi Shisan followed behind.

Turning around the corridor, the fourth prince slowed down, the fan suddenly hit his palm, and turned his head to stare at Yi Shisan, "I asked you to find something, how did you pay yourself?"

Yi Shisansi looked around and said in a low voice: "That thing is not in Chengyu Palace."

"Nonsense! I saw him take that thing with my own eyes."

"Your Highness, I really don't..."

"Yu Tang, you left in such a hurry, but you don't want to see your mother!" A voice came through the air.

The fourth prince trembled, turned around and saw the incomparably luxurious and golden woman, and said with an apologetic smile: "Mother, I miss you day and night."

A servant handed over the handkerchief, and the Queen Mother took it, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and glanced at Yi Shisan vaguely.

Yi Shisan was watched and hid behind the fourth prince.

The queen mother looked over and said: "This eunuch is from the palace."

The fourth prince secretly yelled that it was not good. I was afraid that the queen mother would get wind from the emperor to block herself, and said with a sneer: "It's the one in front of the emperor. I'll ask him to accompany me to talk about my son."

The queen mother raised her eyelids, "I'm leaving the palace soon, you can go. I don't know how to say hello when this servant sees you. There is no rule, I will stay."

"Mother!" The fourth prince said anxiously, "This..."

"Why, no, just now you said you miss me?" Although the queen mother's tone was stern, it was as if she was bound to win.Yi Shisan's eyes were cut like knives.

"If you really care about me, marry a side concubine and keep it. Don't think about doing something unethical."

The fourth prince had no choice but to twitch the corner of his mouth and said: "Mother, just decide."

Yi Shisan didn't know the situation yet, so these few words decided his fate.Originally thought that the fourth prince was here to save him, but he didn't expect to plunge him into a bigger fire pit.
