Your Majesty, please draw the card

On a dark and windy night, when mandarin ducks meet privately.

Liu Xi quietly pushed open a small window, lightly pressed his palm on the window sill, and slipped out without a sound.Fortunately, Dayan admires black and red, and he doesn't have the golden dragon robes in TV dramas in his suitcase. Otherwise, let alone sneaking out, he will look like a [-]-watt light bulb wherever he goes.

Liu Xi made a distinction, and walked towards the direction in memory.The palace occupies a vast area, and there are few people at night. Only the guards on duty will patrol the night according to a fixed route.Liu Xi had already read the night watch route list, so he avoided it by a long distance.Now that he was walking alone on the path, he felt uneasy.He is not afraid of ghosts, although there is also this factor, the main reason is that the nights in ancient times are too dark, and the lighting basically depends on the moon that appears and is blocked by clouds for a while.The paths he chose were all away from the lights, and they were still winding. If he accidentally fell somewhere and was bumped into by someone, then he, the emperor, would be disgraced.

The reason why Liu Xi picked this time to sneak out was completely helpless.During the day, the Empress Dowager gave Liu Xi the Phoenix Sun Chaser Pot, which made him uneasy for a while.Fortunately, he finally saw a note in the pot, which said that if you want to know the content of the original agreement, you can go to the Zheyun Pavilion in the Imperial Garden at Zishi.

Liu Xi felt that this was probably the empress dowager's last test of his sincerity.The distance from Zheyun Pavilion to Weiyang Palace and Changxin Palace is about the same. Although it is risky to go out in the middle of the night, the risks are equal to both parties, and there is no situation where one suffers more than the other.Normally, the Empress Dowager and his side are monitored by various forces. If you really want to talk about some secrets, it is better to have such a time and place that others can't think of.

Liu Xi has always admired the beauty of the Queen Mother, so he instinctively blocked the possibility of the other party plotting against him.After all, the Empress Dowager Zhao was a singer who could follow the late Emperor at night, and meeting him secretly in the Imperial Garden at night was not a big deal for her, was it?

It was the first time Liu Xi knew that the imperial garden in the middle of the night was not silent.There are many rare birds and animals raised in this place, and most of the docile ones are free-range, so you can hear a lot of movement at night, and the sound of cicadas and frogs in summer is also endless.After accidentally bumping into a poor crane, he finally came to Zheyun Pavilion.

"Now I believe that the emperor is a man of his word. The emperor did not intend to deceive me."

Zhao Yingrong was wearing a dark dress, with two short swords more than a foot long pinned to her waist, and a small cloth bag that might contain a hidden weapon. She was dressed like a chivalrous woman, and she couldn't be recognized at first glance .

Liu Xi thought to himself that he had miscalculated, he didn't bring a weapon, and he would have brought Shang Fang's sword if he knew it earlier.Now it seems that he looks like a thief, but Queen Mother Zhao is like a heroine who catches thieves.

Liu Xi sneered: "The empress dowager speaks seriously, I really just forgot it for a while, as long as the empress dowager reminds me a little bit, I will definitely remember it immediately!"

Zhao Yingrong covered her mouth and smiled: "Aren't you afraid that I will lie to you, Your Majesty? What if I tell you something that His Majesty cannot do, and tell you that it is our original agreement, what will His Majesty do?"

Liu Xi spread her hands: "I believe in my own judgment, and even more in the Queen Mother's character."

"The emperor's main letter is his own judgment, right? If the emperor sees that I intend to deceive, even if I don't say it now, the Zhao family will never have peace in the future. Am I right?"

Liu Xi chuckled and didn't deny it.Anyway, Gao Lishi told him a long time ago that today is different from the past, after he becomes the emperor, the kindness of the empress dowager is no longer enough to blackmail him.The reason why he maintains a good relationship with the empress dowager is because he admires the beauty of the empress dowager, and secondly because he can't deal with the two relatives at once, not because he is really afraid of the empress dowager.

"Alas..." Zhao Yingrong sighed, "The emperor used to be filial and lovely, but after becoming an emperor for a short time, he has become cunning, like a different person. I asked myself how to read people, but I never I have seen someone who is as secretive as the emperor. In fact, the original agreement was just a joke, I can tell the emperor now, the emperor can help me, or I can pretend that I have never heard of it, but I can’t tell anyone. You can't punish me because of this incident, how does the emperor feel about this?"

There was a sense of helplessness and loneliness in the Queen Mother Zhao's words, which made people feel extremely distressed. Even Liu Xi couldn't help but feel a little bit unbearable, and said seriously: "I have always kept my word. No matter what the Queen Mother says, I will do my best."

Zhao Yingrong smiled, very satisfied with the emperor's answer.

"..."

"..."

"..."

After listening to Queen Mother Zhao's words, Liu Xi was quite surprised.If this incident is true, Queen Mother Zhao can be regarded as the most extraordinary woman in the world.His reaction at this time is the same as that of Liu Xi before when he was not time-traveled, except that Liu Xi at that time was because he was honest and honest, but now the Liu Xi who has changed his core is because he can understand the thoughts of Queen Mother Zhao.After thinking for a while, he felt that the queen mother's request was not unfeasible, so he nodded solemnly.

"Okay, I agree. It's just that I need time. I wonder how long the Queen Mother is willing to wait?"

"Then let's make it ten years!"

Zhao Yingrong put her palms on the stone table in the center of the pavilion, and pressed lightly, leaving two clear palm prints.Liu Xi couldn't help being stunned when he saw it, is this a hidden martial arts master?Fortunately, the Queen Mother was not offended, otherwise, even if he was to be chopped into pieces, it would be easy for the Queen Mother!

Seeing the emperor's pale face, Zhao Yingrong couldn't help laughing: "Hehehehe...don't worry, your majesty. Although my internal strength is good, my moves are very poor. If I really want to use my hands, it's no problem for the emperor to escape. In fact, I plan to use This set of exercises is given to the emperor, I think the emperor is a member of the people, even though he is protected by guards, it is good to learn more self-defense techniques."

Liu Xi was pleasantly surprised: "I can also practice this skill?"

"It depends on the talent of the emperor." Zhao Yingrong leaned close to the emperor's ear and whispered, "This kung fu is different from ordinary kung fu. You can only practice the basics before the emperor can play fish and water, and then you can get started. After getting started, you will know whether your aptitude is good or bad. I have good aptitude. I started practicing at the age of 16, and after ten years of practice, I have achieved a small success. As for the emperor, I still can’t see it now!”

Liu Xi only felt that his face was secretly hot, and he couldn't help but take a half step back: "Why does it sound a bit evil? This can't be the art of dual cultivation, right?"

Zhao Yingrong nodded and said, "Tao follows nature, that's exactly what it is."

"Can a kung fu man like you practice?"

"Yes. Nine Heavens Profound Girl can practice, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor can practice, and the Emperor can naturally practice too."

Liu Xi's eyes widened: "Is this technique so powerful?"

Zhao Yingrong smiled coquettishly: "Of course it's a bluff. The ancient unique knowledge has long been lost, but it's just a skill written by later generations in the name of legend."

"There's no harm in that?"

"There are no disadvantages."

"That's good." Liu Xi breathed a sigh of relief. As long as there are no disadvantages, although the method of practicing martial arts is a bit weird, he still wants to practice the legendary peerless martial arts.A thought suddenly flashed in his mind: "The Empress Dowager has been practicing without interruption?" So how did the beautiful Empress Dowager practice during the period after the death of the former emperor?Or is my understanding of this skill wrong?

"The emperor really wants to know?" Zhao Yingrong smiled strangely.

"No, no, I don't want to know at all!" Regardless of whether the beautiful Empress Dowager has a concubine in the palace or not, it's better not to know than to know.Liu Xi thought about it for a while, but was still a little worried, and couldn't help but say: "I heard that Zhou Taiyi practiced boy skills, and his internal skills are quite good, but he is not close to women." A male god is not suitable to accompany you Practice, you must not pester him!

Zhao Yingrong covered her mouth and smiled: "Your Majesty, you can rest assured. How dare I touch the Emperor's male god? Afterwards, the Emperor will come to Changxin Palace for tea, and you can ask me about coaching skills. I will know everything. It's late at night. I should go back."

After Zhao Yingrong finished speaking, she quietly stuffed a booklet into the emperor's sleeve.

Liu Xi lowered his head and took a sneak peek.

"Zi Fu Yuan Mo Xuan Female Divine Art"?

It sounds awesome, but I don't know how it works.At this time Zhao Yingrong had quietly left, he thought for a while, and decided to return the same way.

The palace was full of darkness, and the road was very difficult to recognize. Liu Xi turned around for a while before finding the right direction back to Weiyang Palace.He secretly decided not to go out in the dark next time, unless the palace was full of street lamps.Unexpectedly, just thinking about it, the palm of my hand actually touched a living thing!

"Damn it!" the emperor cursed, "What the hell is this? It's all here, it's obviously not the imperial garden anymore!"

He strengthened his courage, and then touched...

How does it feel... how does it feel like a standing person?Your face is still hot? !

The emperor shrank his hands in fright, and then boldly asked: "Which palace are you from? Why are you here in the middle of the night? Do you know that wandering around in the palace is a capital offense?"

Although the emperor said that the villain would sue first, he actually had no idea in his heart.He had clearly walked this road once, but when he came back, he suddenly touched a big living person. This scene was so unbelievable that he couldn't understand it.

Who would stand here in the middle of the night?

The other party stood still, and Liu Xi could hear the man's shallow breathing, which proved that he was indeed a living person.

"Sneaky staying here late at night must not be a good person, so hurry up and tell me the truth!"

The other party "hummed", which startled Liu Xi.

Why is this voice familiar?

It's a pity that the moon has never appeared during this period, and I can't see my fingers or see anything.Liu Xi suddenly remembered that she was carrying a luminous pearl by her side, but she forgot to take it out to illuminate the way just now.Trembling, he took out the Ye Mingzhu, put it on the palm of his hand and looked ahead.The man was a head taller than him, and he saw a green face when he raised the Ye Mingzhu.

"Ouch!" Liu Xi shook his hand, and Ye Mingzhu fell into the grass, and the surroundings became pitch black again, "Grandpa, grandpa..."

"The emperor is very interested, and will meet in the imperial garden privately in the middle of the night. It's a pity that I'm not your father-in-law, and I won't cover up your ugliness for you!"

After being severely scolded, Liu Xi finally found his tongue, and said awkwardly, "Gong...Gongjin, why are you here?"

"Thinking about it, I thought it was a bit strange that the queen mother sent the teapot. When I figured out that the queen mother was using the teapot to convey the news to the emperor, I saw the emperor sneaking out of Weiyang Palace. The scandal you will do next will require minister Say it?"

Liu Xi was startled: "Gongjin, have you seen it all?"

Zhou Yu said coldly: "I didn't expect the Queen Mother to possess martial arts. I can only stare at it from a distance, but I can see it clearly enough."

"Wow, Gongjin, you have sharp eyes, you can see it in such a dark sky! No! Gongjin, you misunderstood, I have nothing to do with the beautiful queen mother!"

The emperor was anxious to explain, but Zhou Yu caught the loophole in his words.

"Beautiful Queen Mother?" Zhou Yu showed a stern expression, "Your Majesty is young, so it is understandable for him to be blinded by an adulterer for a while. But I never thought that His Majesty would do such a daring thing! It seems In the future, I must teach the emperor strictly, and I will not let up at all. If I see another villain like Mi Tuan, I will kill him! As for the emperor, he must remain pure and ascetic until he is 16 years old. I will let Eunuch Gao Pay attention to this."

Wait a minute, male god, you really misunderstood me!

Liu Xi still wanted to explain, but Zhou Yu grabbed him like a chicken and dragged him back to Weiyang Palace.

This night made the emperor understand two things.The first thing is that the male god's night vision ability definitely has five stars, at least Zhou Yu didn't miss a single turn on the way back while grabbing him.The second thing is that the consequences of offending a male god are terrible, especially when this male god can discuss your behavior issues with every subordinate you value.

"Gongjin...you listen to my explanation..."

For several days, the emperor's sleep talk was the same sentence.
