It's hard to be the king of rebirth

Bad things in this world always happen suddenly.Master Hou's mansion was ransacked overnight yesterday, and today the emperor invited him to the palace for the festival. I don't know what kind of wind and rain happened in the palace.

Zhou Xu wanted to ride his Yuhuacong, but the emperor had already prepared a sedan chair for him and waited at the gate of the palace.Zhou Xu wondered, is it possible that the emperor is still afraid that I will run away?

When passing by Jianxiu Pavilion, Zhou Xu lifted the curtain and took a look outside. Sure enough, Jianxiu Pavilion was also sealed.Zhou Xu suddenly felt very lucky that Li Sang was at his house last night, otherwise he would have been worried to death.

When the emperor saw him, his face was still full of warmth, and there was no sign of any change.

"Now Hengzhi, do you like sweet rice dumplings or salty rice dumplings?" On the surface, it sounded like the words of an ordinary elder brother caring about his younger brother, but the taste was very different from the emperor's mouth.

"Your brother is not picky, what the emperor rewards is the best."

The emperor smiled: "You, Hengzhi, when will you put down your mask in front of me." He raised his sleeves and ordered people to pass the meal.

Zhou Xu couldn't quite understand this sentence, a king is like a tiger, who can really put down the mask in front of the emperor?It's not a big deal if one accidentally loses his head, but it's not good if it involves the people around him.

After a while, all kinds of rice dumplings were placed on the table.Sweet and salty, meaty and vegetarian, red bean and salted egg yolk, put a pot of high-quality yellow rice wine, two ancient porcelain cups, and three or four plates of emerald green and cool green dumplings. The emperor signaled all the eunuchs and attendants in the house to step down.

"Your Majesty, these zongzi are very troublesome to eat, I'm afraid I will leave someone to wait on them..." Before Eunuch Hai finished speaking, the Emperor waved his hand to signal him not to say more, and Eunuch Hai stepped back cautiously.

Only the emperor and Zhou Xu were left in the room. They were speechless for a while, and the silence was a little penetrating.

"Brother Huang, I will peel the rice dumplings for you."

The emperor nodded, and Zhou Xu picked up a zongzi with bulging sharp corners, untied the thread wrapped around the leaves, peeled them off carefully, and asked: "I heard that Lord Xie Hou was ransacked yesterday. , but why?"

The emperor poured a glass of rice wine for Zhou Xu, and said: "I know that you are usually close to Lord Xie, and you must be worried if something happened to him, so I invited you here today, so you can rest assured." The emperor took a sip Jiu continued: "Hengzhi, you just can't trust me. Even if you really did something, would I do anything to you?" The corners of his mouth twitched as he spoke, and he looked at Zhou Xu with interest.

"How dare I not trust Brother Huang." He drank the wine that the emperor poured for him, although the rice wine was not strong, the skin of the virtuous king felt a burst of burning.Zhou Xu understood immediately that the emperor was reminding him: I know the relationship between you and Master Hou and even Tsing Yi and Bai Jiu, but don't worry, I won't do you for the time being.

Relaxed a little, and chatted with the emperor for a while. Seeing that the emperor was in high spirits, Zhou Xu drank two more glasses of rice wine. When the emperor poured him a third glass of wine, Zhou Xu declined and said, "Brother emperor, have another drink." The younger brother is going to die."

The emperor raised his eyebrows: "Today is the holiday, so it's just you and me, it doesn't matter if you drink two more glasses. Besides, if you're drunk, just rest in the palace and leave tomorrow, or say Is there anything urgent you need to do?"

"I'm worried that I'll be disrespectful in front of the emperor if I drink too much." For example, like Li Sang who gnaws on people...

"I'm really looking forward to it." The emperor looked at Zhou Xu with a smile in his eyes.

"Brother Huang, please don't make fun of my younger brother." As he spoke, he quickly drank the wine in his glass.

Sure enough, the virtuous king's body was still so useless, he hadn't made any progress at all, after drinking three cups, the ceiling began to spin, and the emperor in front of him also had three or four faces.

Seeing that Zhou Xu's head was about to hit the table, the emperor put his hand on the pad to support his body.

Zhou Xu vaguely heard the emperor sigh in his ear.

When I wake up, the moon shines on the atrium.

The servants brought hangover soup and told him that the emperor was discussing with Shen Tingwei, and if the prince was hungry, he could pass the meal.

Zhou Xu nodded, and signaled for them to back off. He didn't want to eat much after being hungover, so he put on his robe and walked to the Imperial Garden to enjoy some fresh air.

Zhou Xu remembered the two court ladies and eunuchs he saw last time by Luhu Lake, the secret passage in the backyard of Suyuezhai, the female prisoner in the stone room, and the fragrance that belonged to that person... The strong sense of reality made him He didn't believe it was a dream anyway, so he wandered to the edge of Luhu Lake.

After blowing the wind by the lake for a quarter of an hour, nothing unusual was found. The night was cold and the dew was heavy. Zhou Xu got up and went back to the original road. After walking less than 200 meters, he heard rustling in the flowers not far away. Hearing the sound, he cheered up and approached with light steps.

Just when he was less than a foot away from the flower bush that made the sound, a human head emerged from the flower bush.Zhou Xu's blood froze, and he secretly exerted force with his fingertips, ready to face the battle.The man glanced at him, babbled, and retracted his head into the flowers again.

Zhou Xu approached cautiously, the man was probably trembling with nervousness, the whole grass trembled, Zhou Xu lowered his voice and asked, "Who is sneaking around here?"

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the man stretched out his head to look at Zhou Xu, his eyes widened, he was stunned for a moment, and then he started to smirk and said, "Ah, it's Mr. Engong Xianwang." On the edge of his mouth, he lowered his voice: "Someone wants Bengong's life, and Bengong doesn't want to die. They can't find them hiding here."

Zhou Xu took a look under the moonlight, and saw that this crazy woman was Concubine Jing who he rescued ashore that day. Judging from her current condition, she might be even crazier than last time.

"Who dares to take your mother's life?" Zhou Xu asked, the words of a lunatic are often more truthful.

Concubine Jing hooked her hands to signal him to squat down, looked left and right, and whispered in his ear: "Of course he belongs to the emperor."

Zhou Xu frowned, and said in surprise: "You are a mother, how could the emperor want your life?"

Concubine Jing smiled coldly, and said in a serious manner: "This palace has encountered something that the emperor can't see."

Zhou Xu was startled, this might be a big deal.Concubine Jing continued: "King Xian, you saved Ben Gong's life last time. You are a good person. Ben Gong tells you that now the emperor is getting married with a rabbit master. He hasn't entered our room for two years."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu knew that it was the emperor's private matter, so she didn't plan to inquire further, so she said, "Your Majesty, please be careful in your words and deeds."

Just when he was about to get up and leave, Concubine Jing grabbed him and continued: "Don't believe it, I told you only after you saved Bengong, that rabbit master, Bengong met, and... and your old friend There must be eight or nine points similar, don't you wonder?"

Zhou Xu was confused for a while, my old friend?Where do I have any old friends?Could it be the Xian Wang's old friend?

Concubine Jing saw that Zhou Xu was puzzled, and hurriedly said, "It's the one from Suyuezhai."

Princess?Dare to love Xianwang's green hat is big enough, everyone in the harem knows it... wait... the words of the crown princess... there are people who are seven or eight times similar to her...!

Zhou Xu recalled, his whole body froze, suddenly felt dizzy, and his inner breath surged.

Zhou Xu hinted to himself that this woman has become so crazy that she probably cannot be trusted, so she said with a cold face: "Concubine Jing, don't talk nonsense, because if you insult the emperor's innocence, no one can save you."

Concubine Jing looked at him with flickering eyes and said: "Anyway, I am a dying person. If I don't say this and keep it in my heart, I will tell you. You must see that I am crazy to not believe it. It's very clear here."

She pointed to her eyes, then pointed to her head, and continued: "I only told you this. More than a year ago, it was also such a moonlit night. I was worried that the emperor would be hungry at night, so I sent you the The bird's nest porridge went to the imperial study room, and no one notified it. I walked outside and saw the guards and eunuchs fell asleep. I was hesitant, but I saw the lights flickering in the room, and there were two figures. I was worried that the emperor had encountered some thieves , and didn’t dare to say anything, so he poked a hole in the window paper with his finger, peeped in, bah! A man was entangled with the emperor, and it looked like he was doing such a thing. That foxy face, this palace I will never forget it for the rest of my life, that face is like the resurrection of the princess, clearly."

Speaking of which, Concubine Jing began to tremble violently, and said in a trembling voice: "Then... that person... unexpectedly glanced at me, his eyes were full of cold killing intent, more cold and terrifying than the evil ghost Hades, my palace I could see clearly that it was a man's face, the face of a man who looked very similar to the Crown Princess, I was frightened at the time, and ran away as fast as I could, with blood on my legs..." Concubine Jing said shed tears.

After that, everyone said that Concubine Jing was crazy, and countless imperial physicians came to treat her, but she became more and more crazy, talking nonsense.Probably just recently, the emperor has decided in his heart that Concubine Jing is the daughter of the prime minister, in order to preserve the reputation of the royal face and the prime minister, he made an order to send her on the road.

Zhou Xu's blood froze all over his body, and he couldn't move at the same place, his ears were buzzing, his stomach was churning, and the nails of his clenched fists had been dug into his flesh.

If Concubine Jing's crazy words are half true, then Yue Qing and the Emperor...don't dare to think about it.

The Concubine Jing beside her was sobbing and sobbing as if she was sick in the terrible memory, her face was full of horror, she ran west with her legs free, muttering in her mouth not to catch Bengong Bengong didn't look at it To woo woo woo...crazy and desolate.

"..." Seeing that she had run far away, Zhou Xu followed her, stood up in a daze, and walked for a while, when he saw two guards passing by, they stepped forward to respectfully greet Zhou Xu Xu saluted, and asked hesitantly if he had seen Concubine Jing.

Zhou Xu also pretended to think about it, and said that he seemed to see a man running northward madly, and the guards gave each other a wink before chasing him northward.

Zhou Xu sighed, even if he said so, in this palace, where can she hide alone with a lunatic?Who can escape it.

Zhou Xu's mood was surging for a while, not knowing how he walked back, as soon as he entered the room, he saw the emperor sitting by the desk holding a book.

As soon as he heard the movement, the emperor raised his eyes from the book, stared at Zhou Xu, raised his mouth and said, "Can the wind in Luhu wake up Heng Zhi's wine?"

The candlelight was flickering, and the face of the emperor was also indistinct, making it impossible to tell the real from the fake.
