Donggong Ce [Rebirth]

In the huge Chaolu Palace, the curtains were lowered, and the copper lamps were safe.

Feng Zhang hugged the cat and sat on the throne, motionless.The cat lay obediently in his arms, not even purring.

Tiangangwei, who came back from Jinghai County, knelt down on the ground and respectfully reported to him what happened in Jinghai County:

"Jinghai County Lieutenant colluded with Wei and Sheng to frame Mr. Xie. The young master saw through their tricks and wiped them all out. He also found evidence of contact with the two families at Li Junwei's residence. The surviving officials on the ship also I am willing to testify that Li Junwei is plotting something wrong..."

Feng Zhang listened quietly, Tiangangwei saw that he didn't respond, so he paused for a while, and continued talking.

After explaining everything about Jinghai County, Chaolu Palace was still eerily quiet, he raised his head in surprise, only to realize that His Majesty has been absent-minded for a long time.

Eunuch Min had been standing beside him, and couldn't help reminding in a low voice, "Your Majesty..."

Feng Zhang still didn't make a sound.

He fixedly looked at the place where Tiangangwei knelt down.

He once entered the palace late at night and took Nianzhi away from the gate of hell from this place.Now his subordinates are respectfully reporting the affairs, but there is no news of reading it.

"there is none left?"

Feng Zhang suddenly asked.

Tiangangwei was taken aback for a moment, then quickly lowered his head, "No, no more..."

"What do you think?" Feng Zhang asked quietly.

Tiangangwei buried his head very low, "Still looking for..."

"What the hell is going on?"

Feng Zhang's voice was very calm, as if he didn't care about Xie Gui's life or death, even Eunuch Min couldn't help but look at him more.

Tiangangwei was also a little surprised, but he still replied politely: "Your Majesty, that day was like this..."

At that time, Qin Jiu was fighting with several "ghosts" of the Wei family, and suddenly remembered that Xie Gui was being led by Feng Ya, and was standing at the corner of the ship, so he rushed over to them.

When Qin Jiu was fighting with others, Li Junwei's hidden hands had already appeared and began to kill people.Feng Ya tightly protected Xie Gui behind her, led Xie Gui back again and again, hiding in a corner, and was not affected for a while.

The officials below were dispersed, and some of them retreated to the upper deck of the ship with their entourage.Fengya's surroundings were suddenly crowded.In the chaos of the crowd, Feng Ya and Xie Gui were scattered. As soon as Qin Jiu arrived, he saw Xie Gui being carried by the chaotic crowd and walking around in a daze.

Xie Gui's body was stiff, being pushed around by people, and because he was on a ship, he couldn't stand firmly.The crowd swayed from side to side and pushed him to the side of the boat.

Qin Jiu was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't reach Xie Gui, watching him stumble and fall into the sea.

In the blue water, only the dull sound was left.

Tiangangwei didn't dare to say any more when he said this.Eunuch Min gave him a wink before he dared to continue.

"The ship is very close to the sea. The Ninth Commander quickly quelled the chaos, and took some brothers to the sea to search, but... still haven't found it..."

His head was going to be buried in the ground.

Feng Zhang said quietly: "I want to see people in life, and I want to see corpses in death. Let Gui give him a dispatch token and tell him to stay there and search. Just transfer as many people as you want."

Tiangangwei was ordered to retreat.

"His Majesty……"

Feng Zhang pondered for a moment, then whispered to Eunuch Min: "Call King Rong over later."

Eunuch Min was startled, and quietly glanced at Feng Zhang, "Your Majesty, this..."

King Rong is Feng Zhan's youngest brother, Feng Zhan, who is only five years old, and his biological mother is an ordinary palace lady.Before the emperor died, he left a decree, Feng Zhan was made King Rong.

The difference between the two brothers is more than 20 years. In ordinary families, there are many fathers and sons with this age difference.Feng Zhang called King Rong over now, could it be...

Eunuch Min didn't dare to think about it any more, so he quietly withdrew on the pretext of bringing him more tea.

"Meow……"

The book boy raised his head, looked at him obediently, patted his paw on the dragon robe twice, and then rubbed back and forth on his leg, as if to comfort him.

Feng Zhang rubbed the cat's head, opened his mouth, and finally fell silent.

The cat tilted its head to look at him for a while, and seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye, then it purred obediently, and rolled on his knee.

-

In the scorching summer, after the turmoil in the county office passed, the governor of Xie once again returned to the state of thanking guests behind closed doors.

This time, no one dared to stroke his beard.

There were constant turmoil in the officialdom, but only the time when the governor boarded the ship affected the nearby small fishing village.

Not far from the sea stood a small dilapidated hut, a short, tanned girl with a willow basket on her back pushed open the door of the hut.

The furnishings in the hut were very simple. The little girl put the willow basket at the foot of the wall by the door, took a broken porcelain bowl, scooped a bowl of water from a half-person-high water tank, carried it carefully, and walked towards the young man on the innermost low bed. man.

A few days ago, an accident happened on a nearby naval vessel, and every household in the village stayed behind closed doors, fearing that they might be involved in the event.When there was no movement outside, people came out one after another to inquire, and saw this person lying on the beach, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.

This man was dressed luxuriously, completely different from the people in their village, and he was also very good-looking.Some well-meaning villagers ventilated him to confirm that he was alive. Later, the villagers found that his hands and feet were stiff, and it was very difficult to drag him. It was very strange, so they dared not move.

Although they were lowly in status, they had heard a thing or two about what happened on the ship.This person might be a traitor and traitor who participated in the rebellion. He fell into the water, but was lucky to be washed ashore.

When it came to the county government, the villagers were very cautious, and no one took him home as night approached.

The little girl thought he was pitiful, and if he stayed on the beach, he might be swept into the sea again by the waves, so she secretly entrusted a few good playmates and dragged him back home.

This young man was terribly thin. After a few days, the little girl could only water him. Occasionally, he would wake up in a daze for a while, and then pour him some porridge, thus hanging his life.

The girl's name was Pearl.Pearl had asked him his name, on occasional waking occasions.But he was delirious and asked nothing.She went out all day today, what the young man looked like when she went out, and he was still the same when he came back, obviously not awake all day.

A bowl of clear water was poured down, and the young man lay there rigidly, motionless.

Zhu'er was startled, moved her hands shaking and tried for a long time, before she got an extremely weak breath, no different from a dying person.

Zhu'er thought for a while, hesitated for a long time, and finally found a beautiful box among the broken willow baskets in the corner of the room.

She opened the box, and there were several kits inside.Pearl opened one of them with distress, and shook out a withered flower.

Zhu'er doesn't understand medicine, and she doesn't have the money to hire a doctor.This box was washed ashore by the tide at the beginning of the year.She lived closer to the coast and was the first in the village to get up. When she found the box, she secretly hid it back home.

There are many kits in the box, and each kit contains a withered flower.Zhu'er originally thought it was a special hobby of some wealthy family, and wanted to throw away the flowers, leaving the kit and selling them for money.

But these dead flowers are amazing.

There was no abnormality when the box was first opened, but two days after opening, the whole room was filled with a strange fragrance.

Pearl realized that these withered flowers were treasures.But the flowers look so strange, she also asked other people hesitatingly, but no one has heard of this kind of flowers.

She had the courage to try it once, and soaked the flowers in water to drink as a tonic.Either way, a single flower will cost a person's life.

Then she saw the unspeakable magic for the first time.

The flower that was so dry that it seemed to be broken at the touch of a hand in the kit bag trembled and plumped up in the clear water of the broken porcelain bowl, and finally grew into a bright red flower.After a while, the flowers all melted into the water without a trace.She drank this bowl of water and went to work the next day without feeling tired at all.

Pearl again affirmed that this is definitely a good thing.

The young man lay lifeless, Pearl was very reluctant, and wanted to put the dead flowers back, but seeing the young man like this, her heart softened.

She took another bowl of water and put the dead flowers into the water.The heavy petals withered slowly stretched out and bloomed into a colorful flower in the bowl.

Pearl opened the man's mouth, and carefully poured the water into his mouth.

"You must wake up..." Zhu'er muttered, "This flower must be very valuable. If you don't wake up, I will throw you out and leave you alone..."

After pouring the water, she didn't expect the young man to wake up that night, so she fell asleep on another small bed that was even worse and shorter as she had done a few days ago.

In the middle of the night, she seemed to hear something in the mouth of the young man.I went to listen, but couldn't hear a word.

Pearl yawned and went back to sleep.

Xie Gui felt that his internal organs were burning.

His hands and feet seemed to show signs of melting ice.He opened his eyes, and in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, a bright red color appeared in front of his eyes.

When Pearl fed him water today, he had a faint feeling, but he couldn't wake up.He didn't feel it until the water was like a ball of fire, burning all over his body from his belly.

The whole body began to flow, as if the ice layer was smashed heavily.

He struggled to open his eyes, and he didn't know how much effort he took to keep from moaning in pain.

The bowl of water allowed him to move again, but every step he took was like walking in a fire pit.

A ray of moonlight leaked through the door of the dilapidated house, Xie Gui bit his lips, turned over and got out of bed, and dragged the exquisite box out of the corner of the room as quietly as possible.

The kits were untied one by one in a hurry, and the dead flowers fell down.

Xie Gui wanted to laugh out loud.

The lotus in the sea is born when it encounters water, and then dies after birth.

Without the slightest hesitation, he grabbed all the sea lotuses and swallowed them all at once.

-

When Pearl woke up the next day, seeing the people lying on the ground and the empty box, she almost screamed.

Pearl longed to cry aloud.

When did this person eat her flowers, and there was not a single one left for her!

It's just too hateful, too much!

Zhu'er was so angry that she kicked him on the arm, Xie Gui woke up from the kick, staring at her in a daze.

Pearl was taken aback.

This person's expression seems a little strange?

However, he finally woke up, so he didn't have to rely on her.Zhu'er squatted down in a vicious voice, pulled his collar and asked, "Who are you?"

With such a fine robe, he must be a rich man, and she must make him spit out all the money he ate.

Xie Gui stared blankly at her, and his voice was clear, like spring water gushing out just now:

"I do not remember……"
