Sheng Gong Dance

In December of the tenth year of Sheng'an, His Highness Xia Yuexiqin stole the jade seal, assassinated Fourth Highness Xia Yuexilou, demoted him to a commoner, was forbidden to enter Yehua for life, and was sentenced to exile in Beimo.Concubine Ying couldn't teach her son well, so she committed suicide and apologized.The fifth princess, Yue Furong, was demoted to common people and exiled in Beimo.Lu Taiwei Lu Ming conspired to collude with the enemy and treason, framed Qingxiao's family and executed them all.

With the imperial decree, the audience was in an uproar.All the officials who had been on good terms with Lu Taiwei changed their faces, and they all lowered their heads without saying a word.The officials who have been oppressed by him can be said to be proud.But I dare not hang the color of joy on the surface.

Because the emperor who is in the upper position seems to be in a particularly bad mood recently.The peach blossom eyes that always carry a bit of a smile in normal times have only left a sharp edge these days.

Withdrew from the court, Yue Zhongtian headed towards Lingxi Palace.Sitting upright, he casually asked, "Wei Min, do you have any news from Mo Ying?"

Wei Min on the side quickly replied, "Going back to the emperor, not to mention the burned general's mansion, even Lu Taiwei's mansion has been searched, but it still hasn't been found."

Closing his eyes, Yue Zhongtian fell into deep thought. "What have you been doing in the west building these days?"

"Back to the emperor, Your Highness the Fourth Highness is either painting or playing the piano these few days." Yue Zhongtian didn't say a word.Wei Min didn't dare to say anything more, but just stood aside respectfully.

At this time, the mood of Xilou, who was living in the Liuli Palace, was not much better.It really is unpredictable for Jun En.In the past few days, on the surface, it was said that he was letting himself recover from his injuries, but in fact he was under house arrest.

He couldn't even take half a step out of the Glazed Palace.I wanted to comfort Concubine Wan.But later Concubine Wan heard that she was back, so she came to visit for a while.

Looking at her red and swollen eyes and haggard face, it was obvious that she was sad about the General's Mansion.Xilou didn't know how to comfort her.The two chatted casually for a few words.Concubine Wan said goodbye.

Now that someone is under surveillance, there are some things that you can't say even if you know it in your heart.Xilou was helpless.I hate the feeling of being watched the most.

Just as the person in the west building was sighing helplessly, Tao Tao came in with a smile on his face.Giving him an annoyed look, Xilou mocked, "So happy, did you win the lottery?"

"Win the lottery?" Tao Tao was baffled, but he knew that Xilou was in a bad mood, so he didn't sneer back. He stood beside Xilou and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, the imperial decree has been issued. Lu Ming copied all the families. Yuexi Qin and Yue Furong were exiled. Concubine Ying killed herself." After speaking, Tao Tao lowered his voice again, "Fourth Highness, should we take this opportunity to get rid of Yue Xiqin?"

Xilou shook his head, smiled ambiguously, stretched out his hand to take Tao Tao's hand and slowly kissed, "Someone will do this. Why dirty the baby's hands?"

Such a gentle voice, like a soft whisper.Seeing Xilou's face of pity and pity, Tao Tao was shocked, and hurriedly pulled his hand away, screaming, "Your Highness, are you crazy?"

"If this goes on like this, I think I'm going crazy." Xilou complained.

At this moment, a young eunuch knocked on the door outside the house and said, "Your Highness, King Ancheng, please see me."

"Let Uncle Huang come in." Xilou straightened his posture, put on a friendly smile, and looked outside the opened door, a person came striding proudly.

Standing up, Xilou cupped his hands, "Xilou pays respects to Uncle Huang."

Yue Chongyuan hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "Why does Fourth Highness have to meet the emperor's uncle?" It seems that he got the news that the ban has been lifted, so he can go back home.

Xilou smiled, and stretched out his hand to signal Yue Chongyuan to sit down.Tao Tao then served tea and stood behind the west building.

Sure enough, as soon as Yue Chongyuan sat down, he said, "The imperial decree has been promulgated. Yue Xiqin and others have also obeyed the law. This king has also cleared up the suspicion and can return to the mansion. Thanks to the help of the Fourth Highness."

Xilou swung the teacup, turned his eyes around, and said calmly, "Uncle Huang is innocent. What's the matter with Xilou? Xilou is just discussing the facts."

Yue Chongyuan naturally understood Xilou's move, and echoed, "Hehe, what the Fourth Highness said is very true." Lowering his voice, he asked again, "What plans does the Fourth Highness have?"

Unexpectedly, Xilou said, "Xiao Luo was ignorant last time. I changed to a young eunuch to take care of me. Don't worry, Uncle Huang, this little eunuch is much smarter than Xiao Luo. Xilou has recently been served by him and he is in good health." A lot."

Yue Chongyuan thought for a while, and immediately understood the meaning of Xilou's words, "Since His Highness Fourth Highness is fine, I am relieved. I have been bothering you for a long time, so I will take my leave first." Standing up, she turned towards the person behind Xilou. Tao Tao took a look, Yue Zhongyuan gave a slight nod to Xilou who stood up, and left.

Seeing Yue Zhongyuan's leaving figure, Xilou's thoughts turned.Thinking that if the cold war with Yue Zhongtian continued like this, the unlucky one would be himself after all.

Feeling overwhelmed, Xilou walked out.As soon as he walked out of the glazed hall, Shentu stepped forward and asked, "Where is the Fourth Highness going?"

"I'm going to find my father."

Shentu was about to say something, but he saw that Xilou's face had already sunk, his sharp eyes swept away, and he said with a bit of sarcasm and a bit of seriousness, "Commander Shen won't stop me from going to pay my respects to Emperor Father, right?"

Seeing Xilou's expression for the first time, Shentu paused in his heart, after all he is a member of the royal family.He didn't say anything more at the moment, and just stepped out of the way.

Xilou lost his expression and walked slowly towards Lingxi Palace.Looking at the boy's leaving figure, Shentu keenly felt the murderous intent that flashed past him just now.It seems that I have to be careful in the future.His Royal Highness is not as easy to talk to as he appears on the surface.

Before arriving at the gate of Lingxi Hall, Wei Min saw the West Tower approaching, hurriedly greeted him a few steps, and said cautiously, "Is the Fourth Highness here to look for the Emperor? The Emperor has something to do now..."

Before Wei Min finished speaking, Xilou asked, "Does he not want to see me, or is there really something wrong?"

"It's serious. I'm afraid it won't be handled well in a while. It's cold, so it's better for His Royal Highness to go back to the palace first, and Wei Min will inform the emperor later."

Xilou sneered, "Then please tell Eunuch Wei, if you don't see him, you won't see him again in this life." Wei Min paused, knowing the seriousness of the situation, and didn't dare to make up his own mind.

The emperor has not had a good relationship with the Fourth Highness recently.Rumors in the palace rose early, saying that His Royal Highness might lose power.Seeing the Fourth Highness coming down today, I thought that I wanted to communicate with the emperor to ease the current situation, but I didn't expect him to say that.

"Fourth Highness, please wait a moment. Wait for Wei Min to go in and pass it on first." After speaking, Wei Min hurriedly turned and walked towards the entrance of Lingxi Palace.

Yue Zhongtian was discussing with Yu Chen, "Let the Beizhao envoys be received by King An Cheng." Yu Chen understood, and just about to say something, Wei Min came in from the outside.

Glancing at Wei Min, Yue Zhongtian asked, "What's the matter?"

Wei Min looked at Yu Chen, then at Yue Zhongtian.Yue Zhongtian didn't care much, "Just tell me if you have anything to say?" He guessed who was outside.

"The Fourth Highness is seeking an audience outside."

"No see." Yue Zhongtian said without thinking.Yu Chen raised his eyebrows and hooked the corners of his mouth in an unclear manner.

"But Fourth Highness said..." Wei Min hesitated.

"say what?"

Gritting his teeth, Wei Min decided to go all out. "The Fourth Highness said that if I don't see you, I won't see you again in this life." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head, not daring to look at Yue Zhongtian's expression.Yu Chen was taken aback for a moment, knowing that the situation was not right, he hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I will make arrangements as soon as possible, so I will leave first."

Yue Zhongtian waved his hand without saying a word.I didn't expect Xilou to say that.You have to see what he wants to do. "Let him in."

When Yu Chen went out, he saw the West Building standing not far away with his hands behind his back. "Fourth Highness."

Hearing the sound, Xilou turned his eyes and saw Yu Chen, who was the number one woman in ancient and modern times. A smile suddenly appeared on his expressionless face, which made Yu Chen's expression froze.

Judging by the expression on this person's face, he doesn't look like someone who can say such things.Could it be... Yuchen was thinking a lot, walked to the side of Xilou with a smile, and said softly, "After hearing what His Highness said, the Emperor seems to be in a bad mood. Your Highness, please be careful."

Seeing his happy smile, Xilou sighed helplessly, "Hey, I have offended my father, at least I have to shut myself up and think about my mistakes. I am afraid that Master Yu will deal with the envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty alone. .”

Yu Chen was speechless, before Wei Min could say anything, Wei Min came to deliver a message.Looking at the back of the West Tower heading towards the entrance of Lingxi Hall, Yu Chen hurriedly said, "Your Highness, you must be cautious in your words and deeds."

Xilou was funny, before that smile could be put away, it fell into Yue Zhongtian's eyes.After Wei Min led the west building into Ling Xi Palace, he retreated out in a sensible way, closing the door behind him.

Seeing Yue Zhongtian's unfathomable expression, Xilou stopped and stood in front of the desk to meet his gaze.After a while, only Xilou sighed, "Father is angry?"

After the sound fell, the Lingxi Palace was once again silent.

Xilou had no choice but to say again, "I believe that my father will not know about my house arrest in Prince Ancheng's mansion, right?" Yue Zhongtian's expression softened a bit after saying this.At that time, the spies came to report that Xilou was almost killed by Xiqin's knife, and now he is still a little palpitating.I'm afraid that Zhenyi's mistake will become eternal hatred.

"Father should know about the appearance of Beizhao's envoys in Prince Ancheng's mansion. It is an indisputable fact that King Ancheng and Yuexiqin colluded with the enemy and treasoned the country. It's just that it is not easy to obtain evidence, so we can only deal with it one by one. .”

"Then Lou Er released the jade seal?" Yue Zhongtian finally spoke.The tone is quite pleasant, and the expression is instantly soft.Xilou froze, then understood.The reason why Yue Zhongtian has neglected herself these days is just pretending.So that I can take the initiative to come to tell him the truth.

Not wanting to argue with him anymore, Xilou replied, "Well, I let someone release the jade seal. In this way, even if the father thinks about the bond of flesh and blood, he will be sentenced to exile. Who asked Yue Xiqin to send him over and over again?" People are assassinated, it's really annoying."

"So where did the jade seal come from?"

"It was given to me by Li Yuan. He told you not to chase so closely, he was really tired from hiding." Xilou thought of the boy and smiled amusedly.Stepping forward a few steps, he simply sat in Yue Zhongtian's arms.Yue Zhongtian naturally hugged Xilou, and took a bite on that tender neck.

"I can't help it. I agreed to Yaoyin's matter, so I can only do it." Yue Zhongtian didn't say that it was because of Xilou that he agreed to Yaoyin. "Does that building know where he is now?"

"Maybe I changed the place again. I sent someone to look for the prostitute, but I couldn't find it." Xilou said casually.Yue Zhongtian narrowed his eyes dangerously.

"Whore?"

"En. It was the time when Father met Erchen on the street that night. Erchen just met him at a prostitute that night. Erchen thought Father knew about it."

"That night, I happened to see it when the pigeon was flying by, so my father arrived in time."

"So that's how it is." Xilou didn't care much.

Yue Zhongtian returned to the original question, "What about the General's Mansion?"

"I really don't know about it. Maybe King An Cheng did it."

"Really?" Yue Zhongtian was thoughtful, but did not continue, but asked again, "How did Lou'er and King An Cheng reach a consensus?"

"En...he helped me ascend the throne. I granted him Qinhuai, and the most important thing is that he has the power of regent." Xilou turned around and said to Yue Zhongtian jokingly.

Yue Zhongtian reached out and touched Ji Xilou's forehead.Xilou glared complainingly, then stretched out his hands to rub. "If you really do this, what kind of emperor do you want to be?"

"I said that I just want to enjoy three thousand beauties in the harem."

Yue Zhongtian laughed even more harmlessly, "It turns out that Lou'er still has such great ambitions."

"Hehe, how can the three thousand beauties of the harem smile as much as the emperor?" Xilou playfully raised Yue Zhongtian's chin, and stuck out his tongue to lick the corner of his mouth.

"Lou'er really wants Royal Father that much?"

"Naturally. I don't know if my father will agree to it or not?"

"Well, it depends on Lou'er's performance." Yue Zhongtian smiled inexplicably.

"Father, how about my son helping you get rid of King An Cheng?" Xilou offered.

"Oh? Lou'er has any good plan?" Yue Zhongtian probed.

"This... the secret must not be revealed." Xilou smiled slyly, "Father will naturally know when the time comes."

The moon is heavy and the sky is still smiling.Xilou also couldn't figure it out, so he simply searched for a kiss.Unable to wait for Yue Zhongtian's response, Xilou left his embrace.

"Father, please wait for the good news from my son." Xilou waved his hand and walked towards the door in a natural and unrestrained way.Yue Zhongtian watched his back disappear before her eyes with deep meaning.

In front of him, he didn't know how to restrain his edge.Do you really believe that you will not harm him, or do you fight with your back and take a gamble?Xilou, if it's really a last resort, don't blame the father for being ruthless.

So free and easy and natural in front of you, showing your sharpness.I just want to test whether you are too defensive against me, or also want to test how much you trust me.Father, if the time comes when the situation is absolutely necessary, don't blame the son and minister for backlash.
