Kick the wrong car door and ride the wrong horse

After nightfall, Ye Cheng was summoned by the emperor, and Wu Fuqian and Yan Qiaotian met in the imperial garden. It was supposed to be the season of warm spring and colorful flowers, but they didn't see a single flower in full bloom, let alone let the flowers bloom. People feel that the scene of vitality, walking into the imperial garden is like walking into a lonely tomb, which makes people despair from the bottom of their hearts.

Wu Fuqian walked in front, Yan Qiaotian followed behind him, they walked all the way, they didn't speak, until they came to a pond that had dried up, Wu Fuqian had to stop, and murmured: "What's the situation? , is this the palace? Is it the imperial garden?"

Yan Qiaotian also felt strange, he stood side by side with Wu Fuqian, looked at the decadent imperial garden, sighed and said: "It seems that the emperor has not been to the imperial garden for a long time, and those servants also took him The nature of the house is very clear, so there is no one to clean and tidy up."

"But, he is the emperor, the whole world belongs to him, how can he be so decadent?" Wu Fuqian was a little angry, he clenched his fists and said.

Yan Qiaotian sighed again: "If you want to know why he is like this, I'm afraid you have to go to him personally."

Wu Fuqian turned his head and stared at him suspiciously, before asking after a long time: "Do you want to..."

Yan Qiaotian smiled slightly and said, "Are you going or am I going?"

"go together."

……

The imperial palace in the middle of the night is like a dead city, and the surrounding area is pitch black. Those maids, eunuchs, eunuchs and guards who were supposed to watch the night did not know where they went, so Wu Fuqian and Yan Qiaotian walked all the way without encountering any obstacles. It made them even more confused. Fortunately, there is always no shortage of gossips in the palace.

When they came to a small courtyard with faint light, it seemed to be the house of the chief manager. At this time, there was a faint sound in the house. Yan Qiaotian pulled Wu Fuqian onto the roof, and carefully lifted a piece of roof tiles. Suddenly, the light in the room shone in the eyes of the two, reflecting the two people sitting opposite each other in the room.

It was an old man and a young man, they looked like eunuchs in their attire, they were talking head to head under the flickering red candle.

Yan Qiaotian's ears were fairly good, so he listened intently.

"How long do you think the emperor will be drunk this time? Last time Ye Cheng sent wine to get drunk for three months, how long will he be drunk this time?" the older eunuch asked curiously.

The younger eunuch sneered and said, "Hmph, how long have you been drunk? It's better to stay drunk. How can a person like him be the emperor? If it weren't for the help of some Li Chengxiang and the others, this country would have been over long ago." .”

"Keep your voice down, be careful not to be overheard by others." The old eunuch said.

The young eunuch said indifferently: "What are you afraid of? Last time when they were discussing, the emperor overheard them, but nothing happened in the end. Uncle Hai, you are old, and this palace is no longer suitable for you. gone."

The old eunuch said in a softer voice: "Be careful sailing for thousands of years, you and I should be careful."

"Hey, Uncle Hai, since that man died, the emperor has become a decoration. He never wanted to serve the country, the people, and the world. Uncle Hai, don't be stupid, it won't be long. , he, the emperor, has achieved it." The young eunuch said contemptuously.

The old eunuch also sighed deeply and said: "Yes, the emperor was so high-spirited before, but I didn't expect that after the death of that person, the emperor seemed to be a different person. Alas, I don't know when he to wake up."

"Wake up? Uncle Hai, stop kidding, he won't wake up in this life, otherwise why would he exchange two cannons for wine from Ye Cheng's house, isn't it because the wine can make him drunk?" Young The little eunuch interrupted.

"Oh, yes, only Chunfengxiao can make the emperor drunk." The old eunuch said.

"Okay, let's not worry about the spring and autumn, anyway, it's not our turn to worry." The young eunuch leaned forward and said mysteriously, "Let's think about how to get more money in the future." Well, I heard yesterday that Xiao Dongzi of Yilan Pavilion found a lot of good things, and today he sold all of them and made a lot of money. Uncle Hai, you have a wide range of ways, so take me to look for them too."

"But there is the royal treasure house, you can't go in casually, isn't Xiao Dongzi afraid of being caught?" the old eunuch asked suspiciously.

"What are you afraid of, Uncle Hai, I heard that this Yilan Pavilion is almost being stolen, and if we don't take action, we may have no chance." The young eunuch said.

The old eunuch asked dubiously: "Is it true? Don't be deceived by someone?"

"Oh, don't believe it. I will take you to see it tomorrow." The young eunuch said impatiently.

Yan Qiaotian, who had been squatting on the roof the whole time, knew that there might be no valuable clues left, so he pulled Wu Fuqian and left quietly.

They stood on the city wall not far from the inner hall, where they could see the entire inner hall clearly, and Yan Qiaotian's purpose was to see when that Ye Cheng would leave the inner hall.

"Did I hear something just now? I vaguely heard something dead. Did someone die?" Wu Fuqian and Yan Qiaotian stood side by side and asked curiously.

Yan Qiaotian stared at the gate of the inner hall, sighed secretly: "During Jueming Ridge, you once said that this emperor is also a man with broken sleeves?"

"That's right, that Ye Cheng told me, but I haven't seen the emperor, so I can't be sure, so I can only give it a try." Wu Fuqian replied.

"Did that Ye Cheng tell you who the emperor likes?" Yan Qiaotian turned around and asked.

"No way, he only said that the emperor likes men, but he didn't say who he likes." Wu Fuqian folded his hands on his chest and said, "This emperor can like anyone, the whole world is himself, who else is like him?" Can't you get it yourself?"

Yan Qiaotian didn't speak, he kept recalling what the two eunuchs said just now, every word and sentence told him a message, that is, the reason why the emperor behaved like this was because the person he liked died, but who was that person? ?Why do you die?

"Tonight, I want to visit the inner palace at night. When Ye Cheng comes out later, you can follow him and stabilize him, so as not to arouse his suspicion." Yan Qiaotian instructed.

Wu Fuqian was not happy to hear this, and pouted his mouth and said, "Why do you go? If I can't investigate, why don't you go and hold him?"

"Do you think I can stay safe?" Yan Qiaotian glanced at him, then asked.

Wu Fuqian took Yan Qiaotian's hand, and said coquettishly: "Okay, I'll take care of it, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you will come back to see me at Zishi, do you hear me?"

"Okay, I'll listen to you."
