Sheng Gong Dance

The night is as cool as water.The winter wind was biting.The west building stands by the window.

The cold wind broke through the window, blowing on the face, tearing pain.Xilou didn't seem to feel it, and still stood with his hands behind his back.

Xiaoxi who was standing behind couldn't help shivering, and said softly after consideration, "Master, it's getting cold, be careful of catching cold, why don't you close the window, my servant."

The west building said nothing.Xiaoxi didn't know how to advance or retreat, so she could only continue to stand with her head bowed.

After a long time, an emotionless voice came out of Xilou's mouth, "Xiaoxi, when did you enter the palace?"

Xilou asked about this matter.Xiaoxi couldn't understand it, and didn't dare to hide anything, she told the truth, "Master, Xiaoxi entered the palace at the age of six."

"Why did you enter the palace?"

"Both of my parents died when I was six years old. It happened that the palace was recruiting people. At that time, I only thought that I could have a good meal, so I followed the crowd in. I didn't expect that after I came in, it was..." The voice became smaller and smaller, and finally stopped abruptly. Stop, only heard a small sniffling sound.

"Then after entering the palace, where have you been on errand?" Xilou ignored her and continued to ask.

Xiaoxi wiped her tears, suppressed her sobbing, and said softly, "When I first entered the palace, I was too young, so I followed the eunuchs who cleaned the courtyard at will. Later, I was arranged to clean in Wanming Palace. Later, Concubine Wan The empress saw that the slave was about the same age as the master, and was well-behaved and sensible, so she arranged for the slave to serve the master."

"Nice and sensible..." Xilou chewed carefully, and then asked lightly, "Xiaoxi, do you have something you want, or do you have any wishes?"

"Slave, I don't have any." Xiaoxi lowered her head and said in a softer voice.

But Xilou continued on his own, "As far as I know, there is a rule in the palace. The servants will be castrated and become eunuchs only after sixteen years. Therefore, many lucky people often become eunuchs before they become eunuchs." The emperor or the prince's male favorite. Hey..." Xilou sighed after speaking.

Xiao Xi's body trembled, her face turned pale and she fell limply to the ground.

"Actually, male favorites are not lucky people, but they are always better than eunuchs. In this palace, there are countless people who have not achieved their goals and resorted to means. I don't care about others. I just hate being betrayed by those around me."

Xiao Xiben trembled, looked up at the back of Xilou in horror, and cried, "Master, Xiao Xi will never dare again."

"Don't dare to do anything?" Xilou still asked calmly.Actually don't know what the truth is.Just thinking about it, the only person who can poison his own food seems to be the person in front of him.But of course other possibilities are not ruled out.What I said to him just now was just an attempt to test it out first.Unexpectedly, there was a result.My hunch was too accurate.

"Master, Xiaoxi knows it's wrong. Xiaoxi shouldn't have listened to His Highness and put medicine in master's meal. Master, please. Xiaoxi will never dare to betray master again..." Xiaoxi Tears streaming down his face, sobbing, talking incoherently.

Xilou still had no expression on his face, and he would never be merciful to those who wanted to harm him.It's just that the situation is unstable now, and it's not the time to play chess.But a word of warning.

In the early morning of the next day, Xilou stepped into Shangshuyuan leisurely. When passing by where Yue Xiqin was, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw his ugly face.

On the surface of the west building, he bowed his hands and bowed to Grand Tutor Yan, then sat down in his seat.Still habitually resting his chin and looking at the scenery outside the window.

Taifu Yan was already used to such an 'unfathomable' Fourth Highness, who only talked about what he cared about.

After a morning, the old man was not too tired.Xilou couldn't help admiring.

As soon as the class bell rang, Yue Xiqin hurried out.Sitting on the seat, Xilou glanced at his back lightly. When she narrowed her eyes, she happened to meet Yue Xiche who was looking at her thoughtfully.

With a slight smile, Xilou nodded slightly, then got up and walked out of the house.

Yue Xiqin rushed to the Yingshang Palace where her mother and concubine, Concubine Ying, lived, and stepped in without being notified.

Concubine Ying saw her beloved son coming in such a hurry, she couldn't help walking a few steps, stepped forward and asked, "Emperor, what's the matter?"

Yue Xiqin raised his hand and waved back to the left and right, before slowly saying, "Concubine Mother, when I went to Shangshuyuan this morning, I saw Xiaoxi's body by the riverside."

"What?" Concubine Ying was startled, and looked at Yue Xiqin puzzled.

Yue Xiqin had to sit down and talk eloquently.

After some explanations, Concubine Ying learned that after Yue Xiqin had promised that the matter would come true, she asked Xiaoxi to serve her by her side, and if necessary, she would accept her as a male favourite.

These conditions were originally intended to coax that ignorant Xiao Xi.The purpose is just to make him drug the food in the West Building.Little did he know that Xiaoxi died.This matter seems strange, I'm afraid that Xilou already knows a little bit about it.

Is Concubine Ying the one who has gone through a lot of ups and downs, so she stabilized her mind before scolding, "How can the emperor be so confused? In case Xilou escorts Xiaoxi to confront the emperor in January, and then confesses you, I'm afraid it will be your mother's death." The concubine can't keep you either."

"Mother, I..."

"Okay. Now is not the time to blame you. Fortunately, Xiaoxi died, and now there is no symptom. It is common for people to die in the palace. Let's wait and see what happens."

"But I'm not reconciled. Then why is Xilou so favored by the emperor?"

"Who would have expected your father's thoughts?" Concubine Ying couldn't help sighing, she gathered her thoughts and said, "The New Year is approaching. When the time comes, Mother and Concubine will take you back to your natal home, and discuss this matter with your grandfather." Besides. For now, we'd better wait and see how it gets better. Don't make any more troubles."

"En." Speaking of this, Yue Xiqin was annoyed again, "What rules does the emperor set? Why don't all fathers be allowed to visit their daughters in the palace?"

"Heh, your royal father is afraid that we are making troubles in secret. Your royal father has arranged this very cleverly. Cut off our connection with the outside world. As long as we stay in this palace for a day, not many troubles will happen in a day. .”

"Hmph, it's really annoying that father favors Yuexi Tower so much now." Yue Xiqin thought about this repeatedly, but couldn't swallow it.

"Okay. Why is the emperor so irritable? Let mother and concubine go and meet him well. How about I vent your anger on you then?" Concubine Ying smiled at Yue Xiqin comfortingly.

Only then did Yue Xiqin relax, and slightly twitched the corners of her lips.

After noon, the students all headed for Xi Palace.

I thought that Yue Xiqin would cause some trouble for him.But he never thought that he didn't even bother to look at himself.That's good, save yourself the trouble.

Not having to deal with these entangled problems for the time being, Xilou relaxed and followed Shentu to practice martial arts.

After class, everyone left one after another.Xilou was about to step up, but was stopped by Shentu.He looked back at Shentu in puzzlement.Shentu seemed hesitant to speak.

Thinking about it, Xilou slowly backed away.After waiting for everyone to leave, he asked slowly, "Commander Shen asked Xilou to know why?"

"Your Highness the Fourth Highness is serious. Shen Tu just has a matter of depression in his chest, so he hesitated again and again before he wanted to ask His Highness the Fourth Highness."

"Oh?" Xilou raised her phoenix eyes and said generously, "Commander Shen can ask whatever you want. If I know, I will tell you."

"It's about the assassin that night."

"Oh, so this is the matter. I don't know what Commander Shen wants to ask?" Xilou frowned slightly, looking at Shentu with some puzzlement.

Shentu sighed heavily, his brows were furrowed tightly, but he had a different style. "Your Highness doesn't know. Shentu is a martial arts practitioner. Shentu is no stranger to this assassin's skills. According to Shentu's observation, this assassin has entered the palace more than once. But the emperor never pursued it. What should we do? Shentu He is the person in charge of the safety of the palace, if something goes wrong, how should he take responsibility?"

"Hey..." Xilou sighed, and turned his back to Shentu helplessly. "I also understand Commander Shen's concerns. It's not easy to talk about this matter. However, Commander Shen will make a big mistake in the future, so I'd like to mention a few things in Xilou."

That's what Xilou said.Shentu tensed his nerves even more, and asked with high nervousness, "Please give advice to Your Highness the Fourth Highness."

"There are lovers in the world, and this matter has nothing to do with the wind and the moon. You don't know about the father's young adultery, do you?" Shaking his head helplessly, the west building walked away under the setting sun.

Only Shentu who was cheated by him was left in a daze.Hearing Xilou's words, Shentu felt thunderous, but fortunately the Fourth Highness reminded him.Otherwise, I almost made a big mistake, and if I accidentally hurt someone whom the emperor favored, I couldn't bear the crime.It seems that we should keep our eyes open and close our eyes in the future.

What a warrior.It's easy to lie, easy to lie.Xilou was very satisfied, and walked briskly towards the Liuli Palace.
