Ning Chen Ling Xiao

The next day was the first emperor's Weiqi. After a day of tossing, Ling Xiao almost felt that Chu Yifeng had lost weight. Fortunately, after the seventh day, he didn't have to stay in the palace anymore and he could go back to the mansion by himself. Seeing Chu Yifeng leave the palace, after walking a few steps, Ling Xiao felt something flash in his mind. Ling Xiao suddenly turned his head, and saw a man behind the emperor lowering his eyes slightly, as if he also felt Ling Xiao's gaze. Eyes met, that person seemed to be Zhu Yu!

Ling Xiao's heart jumped up unconsciously, how did Zhu Yu get into the mourning team? !What is he trying to do?He wanted to assassinate the emperor...but why didn't he do it all the time?

Zhu Yu didn't look at Ling Xiao again, but still followed the person in front with his head slightly lowered, less than three feet away from the emperor.

"What's the matter?" Chu Yifeng turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm afraid people will see me with you, let's go." Ling Xiao stopped looking, turned and left with Chu Yifeng.

In the civil society, the eldest son presides over the Weiqi, but in the royal family, the emperor replaces the princes to perform it. In the end, the princes and grandchildren will leave, and the emperor will wait for the sacrifices to be burned before leaving to show his filial piety. Chu Yifeng Ling Xiao couldn't help clenching his fists. The moment he saw Zhu Yu just now, he tried to disrupt his actions.

Ling Xiao knows better than anyone what Zhu Yu wants to do, but even assassination is not the way, he can't bring in a sharp weapon, how can he assassinate?Besides, there was no need to put his own life on the line, because of Chu Yifeng's relationship Ling Xiao felt a little sympathetic to Zhu Yu, but he was relieved after thinking about it.

Ling Xiao didn't know what Zhu Yulai was doing, but he was sure that he definitely didn't enter the palace to assassinate the emperor.

Since Zhu Yu can get into the funeral team, it means that he can also send others to get in. No matter how good Zhu Yu's skills are, he can't compare to a dedicated killer. He must come in by himself must have other purposes, Ling Xiao pressed Despite the throbbing in his heart, he followed Chu Yifeng out of the palace.

At night, Ling Xiao understood everything. One of Zhu Yu's spies claimed to be Ling Xiao's attendant in the north, and ran to Shoukanghou's mansion to find Ling Xiao. Ling Xiao saw that it was indeed Du Zhuo, the spy who sent messages to him and Zhu Yu when he was in the north, and smiled: "Your master came out safely?"

"I came out half an hour ago. The master asked me to apologize to the young master. It happened so suddenly. I didn't dare to tell the young master to disturb you. Now it's over."

Ling Xiao lowered his eyes: "What the hell is he going to do? Just to enter the palace to have a look?"

"Of course not." Du Zhuo bowed and said in a low voice, "Master has thought about it for a long time after the Tsinghua Sect incident. To be honest, it is difficult to take that person's life now, but we can still do it, but the master has changed his mind. The master said that he would give that person the most uncomfortable death."

The most uncomfortable way to die... Ling Xiao chuckled: "He still wants to catch the living and go out and toss slowly? Your master is getting more and more courageous now."

Du Zhuo smiled: "Young master is really amazing, master really thought of this at first, but we also know that this is really difficult, master has been waiting for this day for 20 years, we can't bear to make master wait another 20 years, isn't it? The master's method is..."

Du Zhuo took a step forward and took out a purse to show Ling Xiao, but he didn't let Ling Xiao touch it. He just opened it for Ling Xiao to take a look, but he didn't dare to get closer, so he quickly tied it up and put it in his arms. Is it... fragrant pancakes?"

"Yeah." Du Zhuo lowered his head and said in a low voice, "I dare not show the young master a closer look, this thing is too overbearing, and if I hurt the young master, I will never be able to explain to the master. This is the master from the Western Regions. The thing I got was called Mengliku, it smelled bland, and it looked like the incense pancakes burned in ordinary times, but I heard that it was all concocted by a powerful Wuhan. When the inside burns, the dream ghosts inside will come out along with the smoke and penetrate into the person's brain, and they will flare up at night. I am afraid of dreaming, once or twice is fine, and if things go on like this, there will be more and more dream ghosts in the brain, biting each other Torture, day and night, but within a few months, this person will be tortured to death by dream ghosts, so it is called 'dream suffering'."

Ling Xiao looked at the little spy with a gloomy face and said that he couldn't help laughing, and knocked him on the head: "What's the mess, your master also believes this?"

"It's true!" Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't believe it, Du Zhuo's eyes widened, and he lowered his voice, "Master didn't believe it at first, he burned a piece in his hand stove, and at night he really had a nightmare, and then Master still didn't believe it , to the eldest prince on the second day, um... Da Shanyu tried it, but Da Shanyu never dreams, and he also had a nightmare that night!"

"Da Shanyu didn't take care of your master?" Ling Xiao rubbed his brows, any witch or ghost must be a lie, this fragrant cake should have added a lot of drugs that act on the nerves, accumulating to hurt people's nerves It is really a vicious way to kill people.

"Hey..." Du Zhuo rubbed the spot on his head that Ling Xiao hit just now and smiled, "Didn't the master still fight with Da Shanyu at that time, and now I can't bear it anymore, the master asked me to explain to you, today After all the lords left, the master mixed the suffering in the dream with those sacrifices, hehe... The one who knelt for a long time guarding those burnt papers in the end, the young master has a connection, if you hear that the one who did it tonight The nightmare all night is the right symptom."

Ling Xiao chuckled, Zhu Yu's trick was really ruthless, the emperor has done a lot of evil things in his life, just doing evil to the fourth prince and his wife is enough to haunt him with nightmares all day long, Ling Xiao pondered slightly: "Since it is The things that have been accumulated over time don’t matter that time, what if someone finds out?”

"It doesn't matter, this kind of fragrant pancakes are now among the spices." Du Zhuo smiled, "Master, I just entered the palace today after everything has been arranged. The one who sleeps on weekdays still burns benzoin. From today onwards The benzoin that burns in the palace is all mixed with bitterness in dreams. The one who doesn’t burn this can’t sleep, but burns the ‘incense’ of sleeping, haha... I’m not afraid that the imperial physician in the palace will find out. The master has asked one about this before. Doctor with a good pulse, even the doctor can't see anything unusual about this incense, I think we don't know much about the things from the Western Regions."

Zhu Yu is also a considerate person, Ling Xiao nodded and felt relieved: "Go, I can take care of the affairs in the palace and I will do my best so that your master can take care of it."

"Yes." Du Zhuo bowed and went.

Ling Xiao rubbed his eyebrows, Zhu Yu really hated the emperor to the core, but he was younger and didn't think enough, Ling Xiao called Shi Peilai before it was too late, and Shi Pei came in less than half an hour , Ling Xiao seldom saw him in the mansion, and when he came, he bowed and asked suspiciously: "Why did the master let me come to the mansion today?"

"How many times has the old Hou Ye called you?" Ling Xiao said lightly, "I go out to see you every time, is it still interesting?"

Shi Pei smiled wryly: "Isn't there nothing I can do? Do you dare not come if the old Hou Ye calls me? Master has something to order?"

Ling Xiao groaned slightly, and said in a low voice: "You know the mansion of Xian Wang back then?"

Shi Pei was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "The residence of the fourth prince back then, you know, it's in Xisi Hutong, it's been deserted, and no one takes care of it, it's already dilapidated."

Ling Xiao sneered: "Find some skilled people to pretend to be ghosts in Prince Xian's mansion, make sure to make some noise, and then send people to spread rumors in the imperial city, saying that King Xian and Princess Xian are out, and they are going to arrest people and kill them."

Shi Pei almost choked: "Master... yes."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "Be careful, don't let people catch our people. Unless I give instructions, this rumor will not stop. I will follow the prince back to the fief soon, and you will follow the matter in the imperial city." Nie Guang is discussing, understand?"

Shi Pei nodded: "Forget it."

How can it be just suffering in a dream?This deception to Chu Yijin is pretty much the same, if it is used to deal with the emperor, it will be found out sooner or later. If you want to do it thoroughly, the emperor himself will believe it and be shaken. At this time, these baseless things and public opinion will not It's very useful, Ling Xiao sighed in his heart, the virtuous king and concubine Xian have spirits in the sky, bless and wish Yu an early success.

The next day Ling Xiao went to the palace to greet the queen. Ling Xiao waited for half an hour before the queen came late. Seeing Ling Xiao, he smiled wearily: "Xiao'er has been waiting for a long time."

"It's nothing." Ling Xiao looked at the Queen's expression, "What's wrong with Auntie? Didn't sleep well last night?"

The queen sighed: "Where, the emperor felt uncomfortable when he was ugly, and the servant hurried over to me and told me that I was going to wait for the sick before coming here."

Ling Xiao looked anxious: "What's wrong with the emperor? But what's wrong?"

"It's not a serious illness, it's an old one, but this time it's severe, and I have nightmares in the middle of the night..." The queen rubbed her temples lightly, "When I went, the holy majesty's sweaty underwear was soaked, his face was pale, scared It makes my hands tremble, but fortunately there is no illness, it is just a nightmare, fortunately..."

Ling Xiao nodded: "It's fine."

The queen sighed and cheered up: "I packed the things for Feng'er and sent them to Prince Ying's mansion, and my aunt also prepared some for you, so you can take them today, I know you are all missing, but it's me Give my mother's heart a little bit."

"The things my aunt rewards are naturally good." Ling Xiao thanked the rewards, and talked with the queen for half a day before leaving the palace.

After leaving the palace, Ling Xiao sent someone to the Qianjin Pavilion to tell Zhu Yu about the affairs of the palace. Thinking about the look of the queen today, Ling Xiao knew that the queen must not be as simple as a simple nightmare. During the seven nights of Huangwei, so many medicines were added, I am afraid that the emperor had a hard time last night.When Ling Xiao was about to go back to the mansion, one of Chu Yifeng's soldiers rushed over, saying that a girl in the mansion had something important to tell Ling Xiao, Ling Xiao paused: "Is it Long Xiang?"

The soldier was originally afraid that Ling Xiao would ignore him, but he was relieved when he saw that Ling Xiao knew it was Lunxiang: "Yes, it's the girl Luanxiang who said she had something important to tell the young master."

Today Chu Yifeng went to the army to look for Wei Zhengfu, what could be going on in the mansion?Ling Xiao nodded: "I'll go right away."

Luan Xiang was also relieved to see Ling Xiao coming, and sent everyone away and said to Ling Xiao, "Young Master, King Hui came to see me last night."

Ling Xiao chuckled: "What did you say?"

"Let me..." Luan Xiang blushed, "Let me try my best and beg the lord to take me to Beidi."

Ling Xiao nodded: "That's fine, originally I meant to take you there too. You don't want to?"

"No." Luan Xiang said hastily, "Young Master has the grace to save the slaves' lives. If it weren't for the young master, the servants would have been killed by King Hui long ago. How could they have survived to this day? My parents sent someone at the end of the year Pass the word to me... that someone sent money and rice to the family, and I knew it was the kindness of the young master. Luanxiang is just a servant girl, and the little prince's great kindness can never be repaid, so how can I have any other thoughts? ?”

Ling Xiao smiled: "It's not that serious, don't worry, you are a girl, I will definitely let you rely on me, and after a year or two when these things subside, I will give you a sum of money and send your family to Jiangnan. I'll keep you, and the days to come will definitely be arranged for you, you just need to rest assured."

Luan Xiang couldn't help but her eyes turned red, nodded, thought for a while and said: "There is one more important thing, the Empress sent six girls to the prince a few days ago, one of them was named Yan Ran, Prince Hui asked me to take care of her , this person must belong to King Hui, but... it seems that even the Holy One knows about it."

"Understood, it's hard for you." Ling Xiao tapped on the table lightly, whispering, "Yanran, Yanran...a good name, call her here for me, and I will open my eyes too, so that the Holy Master and King Hui can look at her What a beauty it is."
