After teasing the emperor, I overturned the car

Chi Yi almost said "Then I'll ask you for it in the future", but luckily he realized in time that he wasn't fooled, and explained righteously: "There is no excuse, and there is no benefit, I have no evil intentions in the first place!"

He Rongchuan didn't seem to care about what he said, and walked quickly in front of him, just outside the protagonist's halo, and squeezed words full of hatred from between his teeth: "If you want any benefits, you can only ask me. You are If you want to die, I have to kill it with my own hands. Do you understand?"

……

"You still want to kill me with your own hands? You can't feel me, how can you kill me? Throw a jade seal and smash me to death?"

Chi Yi raised his eyebrows, and entered the halo of the protagonist with one step.He didn't know how to explain it, but he was a little intimidated by the opponent's momentum.He Rongchuan's words just now felt like he was going to eat him in the next moment.

The other party's eyes became slack, so Chi Yi pulled him into the pavilion, chanting casually as he walked: "You want to hear the truth, well, I did say that you are a tyrant, not because I hate you, but just stating the facts. "

"But not all tyrants should be destroyed. Apart from the fact that you like to kill people, you are worthy of the role of emperor after all, and you lack a helper like me. My purpose is nothing more than that. The Prime Minister of Yao, General Xu, is not as capable as you I don't like you if I'm not as handsome as you."

"I have no one to instigate me, I have no backer, I came alone. I'm all for you, but you think of me like this, I..."

He pushed He Rongchuan down on the seat, "...my heart is broken into pieces."

The lights were dim in the distance, and the night faded away from people's expressions. The cool wind blew through the single clothes, and Chi Yi shivered.

Chi Yi sighed, "It's like this again. Alas, I was too careless today. I knew that if I didn't have a golden finger, I wouldn't be able to survive in the hands of a tyrant. What kind of gentle pills should I give you one every day ..."

The opponent's palm was very warm, so he rubbed it back and forth, and then pressed it against his cold face.

I really don't know how to prove my innocence this time, so I have to stay with him for a while, and wait for him to forget about it before leaving.

Chi Yi yawned and stretched, "If I really want to hurt you, wouldn't it be easier to just approach you and kill you, like this..."

He turned sideways, pinched He Rongchuan's mouth and nose with both hands, and raised his eyebrows disdainfully, "You'll be suffocated to death soon? Why do you need to go around in such a big circle..."

He simply straddled the man's lap and exerted force on his hands to prevent him from panting at all.He suddenly found a little bit of pleasure in revenge, so he didn't intend to let go, and wanted to see the tyrant's blushing face.

……

After arriving at Zhuoqing Bay, He Rongchuan soaked his heart in the pool water, and waited for it to cool down completely before seeing that person.He didn't want to have any undue emotions towards Chi Yi anymore.

In fact, he didn't intend to kill him at first, if he wanted to kill him, he would do it directly.Spending so much time with him is because he wants him to obey only himself, be loyal to himself, and only...belong to himself.

Seeing this scene before him, he couldn't help laughing at his own innocence.

At this moment, the person in front of him had a lively expression, laughing and being annoyed at the same time, as if he was venting his anger on himself, and seemed to think it was very funny.It's just like children's frolicking, without showing any killing intent.

But the airway is indeed closed, unable to breathe.I don't know why he wants to kill like this, he can hold his breath, even if he is pinched by Chi Yi for a quarter of an hour, he will not be hurt.

Why not be like those assassins in recent years, with a knife and a sword, cut his neck and stuck it in his heart, leaving no room for repentance.

This person was going around and around, thinking that there was some shocking plot, but after the plan was exposed, he just wanted his life.

No matter, no matter.

He Rongchuan reached out his hand to his waist without a trace, and there was a mechanism embedded under the leather belt, which contained commonly used hidden weapons.

He moved very slowly, but the person in front of him suddenly leaned forward, directly sticking to his body, but did not let go of his hand pinching his nose and mouth.

"It's so cold...Aren't you cold, Achuan? You said it would be nice for us to go back to the house and talk, and we can do some ulterior things after we have a good chat...What can we do in this damn place!"

Without thinking, He Rongchuan transferred the spiritual power gathered in his palm to his chest, warming his skin and arms.

After realizing it, I was taken aback, and my subconscious reaction was really ridiculous.

The murder should have been completed in an instant, but he kept procrastinating.

The hidden weapon is an extremely thin copper needle, which is aimed at a person's heart, and once pierced, he will die immediately.In the early years, when there were the most assassins, there were ten or eight at a time, and the guards around him couldn't beat them, so he shot several copper needles at the same time, one needle at a time, which was very useful.

This person in front of him has repeatedly pretended to be weak, but He Rongchuan knows that his real skill should not be underestimated. Although he is still not as good as himself, he does not want to fight Chi Yi.

It's time to go in with one needle, and it's done once and for all.

He closed his eyes, and the person in front of him pinched his mouth and nose and lay in his arms, the hot breath from his breath fuming his neck.Behind him, the night wind blew through his clothes, draining the remaining warmth from his flesh and blood.

The six-year-old boy soaked in the pool for half an hour, and finally waited for his mother who came late.She hugged the wet little man in her arms desperately, patted his back, and said three words softly.

"Don't be afraid, mother is here", "Mother will definitely avenge you" and "Don't tell outsiders what happened today".

For several years afterwards, the child could only remember the first two sentences.

Ruyan ran over the copper needle between her fingertips, pointed it at the heart of the person in front of her regardless of the trembling of her wrist, and popped it out suddenly.

When the fingertips relaxed, a tear trickled down the corner of his eye.

Counting from the day he left the capital alone ten years ago, he shed his first tear.

……

"Hey, why is your expression so ugly? Shouldn't you be flushed when you hold your breath? You are too exaggerated, like a dead wife."

When Chi Yi had played enough, he let go, and got off him, only to hear a crisp sound, as if something had fallen to the ground.

He lowered his head, the light was too dark to see anything.

He found that there was an inexplicable tear on his sleeve, and without thinking too much, he sat next to He Rongchuan, leaned on his shoulder, and yawned, "I can't do it, I'll sleep for a while, call me when I leave." Me, I'd better hide it for a while, I don't mind sleeping in your bed at night..."

The body on top was trembling slightly, and he could hear his heavy breathing, but Chi Yi was really sleepy, so he just closed his eyes and fell asleep.

It won't be too long to take a nap outside, and when he woke up again, he found that he was still sitting in the pavilion, but the things he leaned on were replaced by pavilion pillars, and a blanket was still covering his body.

Chi Yi suddenly woke up, He Rongchuan had already left, and he probably didn't notice it at all when he left.But as long as he walks one meter away, he will definitely be able to see himself, but now he is still alive, and...

"Where did you get the blanket?" Chi Yi asked Yang Shun who stepped forward.

"The servant is afraid that you will be cold, so I asked someone to fetch it." Yang Shun smiled, but his voice was a little cautious, "Since you are awake, let's go back to the palace?"

"Go back to the palace?" Chi Yi shook his head again and again, he couldn't go back to the palace until the tyrant forgot about him.Feeling cold again, he said, "I'm going to Yuquan Pool to take a bath."

"This..." Yang Shun was quite embarrassed.

Chi Yi pretended to be angry: "I have no freedom at all in the palace now? I have to report for approval after taking a bath? Who told you to treat me like this?"

Yang Shun didn't dare to force him, so he complied and quietly told the little eunuch: "Go back to Zhenghuai Palace and tell him that Mr. Chi has gone to Yuquan Pool."

In the middle of the night, the majestic palace is silent, and there is another world in the depths of the vegetation.Chi Yi was immersed in the water, leaning against the stones on the shore, submerging himself in the steaming mist.

Chi Yi: The system, let me ask you something, if I enter the aura of the protagonist and others ignore me, will my memory be affected?

System: Time passes at the same speed inside and outside the protagonist's halo, so memories will be forgotten as usual.Promise me that next time I have a question, I will ask you during the day?

Chi Yi: ...Okay, thank you for interrupting.

He thought over and over what happened just now, he only stayed in the protagonist's halo for an hour at most, it is impossible for He Rongchuan to forget what happened just now so quickly.

But he really didn't kill himself, could it be that he calmed down and thought about it carefully, did he figure it out?

"Do you know?" Chi Yi turned around and asked Yang Shun lying on the rock, "He... What time does His Majesty usually go to bed at night? I have never seen it once."

"About four o'clock."

"What time is it now?"

"Less than three o'clock."

Chi Yi did some calculations, that is to say, he had to soak in the pool for two hours...

"I'll wait until he's asleep before going back."

"My lord doesn't have to be like this, Your Majesty..."

Chi Yi plunged into the water and began to swim around the pool.After staying in the water for a long time, I became dizzy, so I sat on the rock on the bank and looked up at the sky, delaying time.

Suddenly he heard whispers beside him, and after a while, Yang Shun said: "The letter you just sent, I found it."

"So fast?" Chi Yi was surprised, there were so many documents in the palace, he thought it would take two or three days.

"It's because Liu Shilang goes to impeachment every now and then, and his memorials are everywhere, so you can see it at a glance."

"Liu Shilang? Liu Zheng?"

"Yes, the handwriting is exactly the same."

So... the mastermind behind the scenes, have you found it?

System: Congratulations to the host for completing the side task [Don’t Blind Beep] and getting the item [Gentle Pill].This prop is valid for three days, please use it as soon as possible!

Chi Yi: The validity period is three days, and it takes three days to take effect. That is to say, this opportunity to soften the tyrant must be used within six days? !

He suddenly felt a hard thing popping out of his mouth out of nowhere, he licked it, but it didn't taste good, it seemed unpalatable.Chi Yi spat it out and found it was a small ball, only as big as a crescent on a nail, and it could be vaguely seen to be pink.

Chi Yi: This, this is the gentle pill?But why did you put it in my mouth?If I spit it out and give it to the tyrant, then we can't exchange saliva and kiss indirectly? !

System: Oh, you've been someone's pet for so long, you haven't done anything, what's wrong with a kiss!

Chi Yi: ... Believe it or not, I jumped into the water now and we drowned together.

System: Ah, that... Host, come on! !

Chi Yi drove the blind beeping thing out of his mind, and held his chin to think.

Now he is not interested in why Liu Zheng is behind the scenes, and he is only thinking about how to feed the pill into He Rongchuan's mouth.He told himself that this was to better complete the task, but he also knew that he was just having a bad taste, and wanted to see what the tyrant looked like when he was gentle.

Before he could think of a way, he heard the drumming outside.Yang Shun said: "My lord, it's the fourth watch."

Chi Yi took the pills carefully, followed him back, and took a look inside at the gate of Zhenghuai Palace, and it was really dark.He groped into the palace lightly, and was about to go directly to sleep on the couch, when a voice suddenly came from the back room: "Chi Yi."

Chi Yi was taken aback by the cry, and wiped his eyes to see that He Rongchuan was sitting in his usual office seat, his handsome body was bathed in the dark night, and he didn't appear dark and prey, but rather dark and vague. Also mixed with a little lonely.

Being caught straight, Chi Yi didn't dare to hide anymore.He moved into the room, smiled, and said nonchalantly: "It's so late, isn't Your Majesty still resting?"

He Rongchuan quietly lit a lamp, and the candlelight shone precariously on his face, "I'm waiting for you."

Deliberately delaying the time and not coming back, but the other party was waiting for him, Chi Yi was a little flustered at first.But think about it carefully, why did he wait for himself?

Looking at the man sitting behind the lamp, it seems that he has finished speaking.Is he waiting for his statement now?What does he want to hear?

So Chi Yi took the two things that Yang Shun had given to him just now, and presented them to He Rongchuan.Then he took two steps back, "This letter is for me to interrogate the rioters in the camp today, and he showed it to me. After I returned to the palace, I took it to compare the handwriting, and it was exactly the same as Liu Shilang's memorial."

He Rongchuan held up the oil lamp and glanced at it in the dim light.

"As far as I can see, the questions at the barracks are almost done. If you have any doubts, I'll come back tomorrow..."

"That's all you want to tell me?" The voice was cold, but there was not much threat, his eyes were buried on the paper.

Chi Yi is helpless, this person is too difficult to serve, who knows what he wants to hear...

A table away, as if discussing business.Chi Yi went around, knelt on the ground facing He Rongchuan, bowed his head, and said, "I'm the one who can't speak, so I'll apologize to you. But I'm wholeheartedly loyal to His Majesty, and I have absolutely no selfish thoughts..."

Humble and respectful, pathetic.

Chi Yi has made a plan, if this style doesn't work anymore, he'll try to act ruthlessly, shamelessly and unreasonably.If he gets lost, this distance is enough for him to hide.

But the man turned his head and snorted lightly, "Get up first, don't kneel easily, acting like this is like I'm bullying you."

Chi Yi looked confused. When he first met him, he was the one who forced him to kneel down, and in the relationship between the two of them, he was the one who bullied him...

Of course, refuting at this time is courting death.Chi Yi stood up in silence, and heard He Rongchuan speak slowly: "Since you have finished asking, then the case will be closed. Don't worry about Liu Zheng's side, you plan to deal with the matter in the camp, show it to me, and then hand it over to Xu Jian." Let's do it."

While talking, he took off the leather belt around his waist and spread it on the table backwards.

"Yes, I see." Chi Yi agreed, and looked at the tape curiously.The tyrant's belongings are full of traps, isn't he panicking?

"It's a good job, it should be rewarded." He Rongchuan opened the mechanism in the belt, took out a thin needle from it, and placed it in front of the other party.

"You once asked me to promise not to kill you, but I can't promise, but...you keep this copper needle, and take it out whenever you think I'm going to kill you." He Rongchuan sighed inaudibly, and his voice was lowered. ,"just one time."

Chi Yi stood there in a daze, and before he could remember, he heard the other party's faint sentence: "Go to sleep, it's getting late."

His mind was no longer functioning, and he went back to bed obediently. He only felt that the needle in his hand was a very precious thing and had to be carried with him, so he wrapped it in a cloth several times and stuffed it into his clothes together with the pink pill.

It was already noon when he woke up the next day, and Chi Yi sat on the couch for a long time, gradually trying to understand what happened last night, but he couldn't figure out how it happened.

Why did He Rongchuan make such a promise?It's not that he doesn't intend to kill himself this time, but that next time, although he doesn't know the reason, he won't kill himself either.

Maybe it was just a whim, you can't count on it.Let's think about the next thing to do first. Now we need to use wine to put the soft pill into He Rongchuan's stomach, and save Shi Lie's life...

It is indeed more useful to keep Shi Lie than to kill him.He Rongchuan has been murderous and powerful for so many years, and the tyrant has established such a full-fledged man, and there are many people who oppose him.It's better to keep this person with great fanfare, and try to gain a reputation for tolerance.

But the problem is that if I think this way, it can only be implemented with the consent of He Rongchuan.Shi Lie spoke ill of him everywhere in the barracks, with his violent temper, how could he easily let this man go?

Wait, give the tyrant a gentle pill and save Shi Lie's life... aren't these two things the same thing!

……

On the winter solstice, the yin flourishes and the yang returns, and there is a lot of fine snow.

Although the political system of Gu State is backward, there are many complicated etiquettes.In order to write that He Rongchuan's rebellion invaded the capital on the winter solstice, the author stipulated that the emperor of Gu Kingdom should go to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices on this day, so he was allowed to break into the palace gate while his younger brother was out of the palace.

After He Rongchuan ascended the throne, the winter solstice will still hold sacrifices, and all civil and military officials will be present.Chi Yi, a fourth-rank official, was also invited, but he was afraid that someone like Liu Zheng would come out and scold him, so he simply claimed to be sick and stayed in Zhenghuai Palace to watch the snow all day.

Sacrifice in the morning, and He Rongchuan will meet with the ministers as usual in the afternoon.Chi Yi calculated the time correctly, and in the evening, he held a bowl of dumplings in his hands.

So when He Rongchuan entered the room, what he saw was Chi Yi holding the chopsticks in one hand and slapping his protruding tongue desperately with the other, shouting "I'm so hot" while inhaling.

The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still asked, "What are you eating?"

Chi Yi looked like he had just seen him, got up and sucked, and said: "The dumplings sent by Chunyang Palace, Concubine Wan said that His Majesty likes spicy food, so she made it for you specially. As a result, I smelled the fragrance, so I tasted one and thought it was good. Eat, eat a few more..."

"There are more here." He took another bowl from the table, and there was only one dumpling in the bowl, "Would you like to try it? Wanbi said she made it herself."

He Rongchuan stared at him for a moment, his voice was as cold as his eyes: "Everything I import has been tried by a special person, why do you give it to me like this?"

……

Chi Yi felt that he was so stupid.

He tried many times to persuade He Rongchuan to drink, but the other party refused to drink. Even if he got into the protagonist's halo and fed it to his mouth, this tyrant would not open his mouth.He had no choice but to seek external support.

Wanbi's cooking is quite unique. Chi Yi's original plan was to let He Rongchuan taste a few dumplings, which were astonishingly delicious, and then go to Chunyang Palace with great interest to have a meal, and then let Wanbi use tenderness tactics to fill him with wine. I didn't expect to have a miscarriage so soon.He simply dropped the bowl and chopsticks and took two steps forward, grabbed He Rongchuan's arm and walked out.

"A festival like the winter solstice is to be spent with the family. Your dear concubine Wan made your favorite spicy dumplings waiting for you to eat. Please save me some face."

Walking all the way to the outside of Zhenghuai Palace, there was a soft sedan that Chi Yi had prepared long ago.He pushed He Rongchuan onto the sedan chair, and held him beside him, not allowing him to escape.

The sedan chair stopped outside the gate of Chunyang Palace, Chi Yi dragged the man into the courtyard, then let go, and ran towards the group of cats in the corner.

"Why are you here?" The voice behind him was indifferent.

There was a lazy tabby cat lying on Chi Yi's shoulder covered with crushed snow, holding a white cat in his arms, and smiled brightly at him, "The cats here are very cute, do you want one?"

At this moment, Concubine Wan stepped out from the main hall of Chunyang Palace, saluted and said: "Since Your Majesty is here, let's go in and sit down, I just cooked dumplings."

He Rongchuan's eyes shifted several times on the two of them, a fat and stupid black cat ran over unsteadily, meowed and lay down at his feet.His expression froze, and he backed away immediately, and he reached the gate of the palace, and finally had to follow Wanbi to the room.

Chi Yi carried cats all over his shoulders, and threw one on each of the two as soon as he entered the room.

He Rongchuan leaned back, refusing to touch the little furry thing.However, as soon as he said "Take it away", Chi Yi leaned over and put his arms in a circle, and the cat on his lap lay in his arms.Chi Yi inserted his hand into the soft cat fur and smoothed it, and he finally stopped resisting.

There is a pot in the room, which is steaming white at this time, and there are several trays of raw dumplings next to it, which can be eaten and cooked at any time.Chi Yi approached the plate of food just out of the pot, quickly stuffed the soft pill into a broken dumpling, and then cupped his hands as if nothing had happened, "Then your majesty and empress will eat slowly, I will take my leave first."

He took two steps back and signaled Wang Lu to go out with his eyes, but the other party didn't seem to see him, so he had to retreat first.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, but of course Chi Yi couldn't really leave, he wanted to stay and see what happened.Even if He Rongchuan planned to stay here at night and put Wanbi to sleep, he would have to see the lights off before going back.

However, he didn't believe that He Rongchuan could do such a thing. He also specially told Concubine Wan to just pour wine after flattering the emperor, and don't seduce her. ending.

And the most important task tonight is to feed the pills and wine into He Rongchuan's mouth.Of course, Concubine Wan was not fully aware of this.

Chi Yi leaned against the porch, hugged a cat that was as dark as night, brushed off the fine snow particles from its fur, and waited happily for the progress in the house.

"Meow——" the black cat turned over in Chi Yi's arms, and grabbed his collar with its fleshy paws.

At this time, Chi Yi's love was overflowing, and he rubbed his face against the little thing, but he heard a voice from the side: "You are not allowed to touch it."

The person who came was the Nanny Wu I met last time. She stepped forward and snatched the cat from Chi Yi's hand forcefully. She said disdainfully, "Dahei was hugged by Concubine Xianchun, how could I give you such a cat?" People touch."

Chi Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, not wanting to argue with her, so he just asked, "Is Concubine Chun the late Emperor's concubine? Did she live here? Did she raise these cats?"

"Yes." Nanny Wu rolled her eyes at him.

"Then Xuexue was also raised by her?"

"My empress has passed away for more than ten years. She raised Xuexue's mother during her lifetime, and she also had this name. After His Majesty returned from Southern Xinjiang, Xiao Xuexue from Chunyang Palace was carried to Zhenghuai Palace."

Chi Yi's eyes widened, "So Xuexue is really His Majesty's cat? Why did he take a cat from Chunyang Palace to raise?"

Grandma Wu stopped feeding her hands, stared at him seriously and said, "It is said that Mr. Chi lives in Zhenghuai Palace every day and is the most favored. How come you don't even know about this?"

The corner of Chi Yi's mouth twitched, and the conversation was dead.

It was inconvenient for him to ask any more questions, and he didn't dare to touch the cats anymore, so he huddled up in the porch, leaning against the porch pillar and looking at the sky.

The snow has been lingering all day sporadically, and the snow flakes have finally turned into large snowflakes. I am afraid that it will continue to be arrogant all night, covering the sky and the earth in white.

……

In the main hall of Chunyang Palace, concubine Wan served a bowl of dumplings, and said a lot of beautiful words in a soft voice.She followed what Chi Yi said, and let the big fat juggling cat put its head on the wine glass and lie down next to He Rongchuan, as if asking him to drink.

He Rongchuan frowned, looking at all this with cold eyes.He leaned over slightly, tested the smell in the bowl, and suddenly picked up a broken dumpling with the tip of his chopsticks, and poked a tiny ball out of the stuffing.A layer of haze was instantly covered in the eyes, and it was crushed with great force, and then poured out.

Then, he intentionally ate the whole plate of dumplings, raised his eyes again but remained indifferent.He cleaned the cat on his body aside, and glanced at the woman next to him, "What good did Chi Yi promise you, and it was worth your trouble with him like this?"

Concubine Wan's face was calm, she was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I always wonder if your Majesty has not entered the harem for many years, is it because you don't want to be tied down. If you want to clean up the court and the public in the future, you will be born A lot of trouble."

He Rongchuan scoffed lightly when he heard the words, his stern eyebrows curved contemptuously, he looked at the fat cat beside him, and took the wine glass from its head, "There is wine here, why doesn't it drink?"

"Because... cats are not addicted to alcohol?" After she finished speaking, she was taken aback, and suddenly understood something.

"If I really want to cut something off, I won't be affected by you." He Rongchuan put the wine glass upright on the table without spilling a drop, "Chi Yi has been running around these days, in the final analysis, for the Central Army, for your brother. All these years I have never touched your Xu family, why do you have such unreasonable worries."

He paused for a while, and added the last sentence lightly: "...Why hang out with someone like Chi Yi."

Concubine Wan blurted out: "Your Majesty is afraid of Young Master Chi, is it because he is afraid that he will favor the Prime Minister's House?"

He Rongchuan froze, and then said to himself: "That's still good."

He got up, walked around to the back of the palace, and strode out of the main hall through the side door.Wang Lu and Concubine Wan asked a few words and followed them out.

……

Chi Yi sat on the porch until it was completely dark, and finally waited until the door of Chunyang Palace opened.The cats in the house had been locked up for a long time, and they rushed out of the door one after another, rushing to the old mother in the yard.

He ran into the house and asked anxiously, "Is it all right? Has he eaten the dumplings?"

Wanbi shook her head slightly, "He ate a whole plate, but he seems to know that you are plotting against him..."

Chi Yi scratched his head and said with a sneer: "Then... His Majesty didn't blame you, did he?"

"Why do you want to blame me?" She snorted coldly, "As long as I am alive, I am alive. There is a person in the Xu family in the palace, who is both grace and restraint. What is there to blame for such a person? ——Only You deserve to be blamed for something like this.”

Although Chi Yi was nervous about his mission, he couldn't ignore such sad words.He lowered his voice: "I'll tell you the truth, you can't tell anyone else. In fact, I'm just a pawn. Everyone uses each other. It's not what you think. He's just a working machine with no emotions, and he is equally indifferent to everyone. , has nothing to do with you."

"Otherwise, you can bear it for a few more years, guard against Song Cairen or something, and protect yourself. When I'm done here, let's try to escape from here together and go outside to do what you want, how about it?"

Wanpin looked at him calmly, and Chi Yi felt hairy all over.After a long time, I heard a sentence: "Young Master Chi is right, things are not what I thought. But maybe, it's not what you think either."

"What's the meaning?"

Without further explanation, Wanbi turned sideways and pointed to the side door in the corner with her chin, "He went out from there, you go find it."

The topic of sentimentality was temporarily put aside.Chi Yi recalled that he hadn't seen He Rongchuan come out at the main gate, and there were no other gates in Chunyang Palace, so he must be still in the courtyard.It's the middle of the night and it's snowing again. What's there to do?

Thinking of the last time he went to Zhuoqing Bay to look for him in the middle of the night and was almost killed, Chi Yi decided to wait there.When he finished venting his emotions by himself and planned to return to the palace, he wouldn't vent his anger on himself.

Chi Yi didn't eat dinner, so he picked up a few dumplings to fill his stomach, and was so hot that he screamed without any accident.After eating, he helped Concubine Wan clean up the mess in the house, but he still didn't wait for He Rongchuan to come out.

He leaned on the warm couch to take a nap for a while, and was patted awake in his sleep.Opening his eyes in a daze, the first thing he saw was Wanbi, and the second was Wang Lu who was obsessed with Fuchen.

Wang Lu raised his eyebrows, "Master Chi, you are too blind. His Majesty is waiting for you inside, so you sleep here?"

"Ah?" Chi Yi rubbed his sleepy eyes, "He's waiting for me? He didn't ask me to come over."

"If your majesty doesn't call, you don't know where you are? Is the prime minister's mansion always serving people like this?"

Chi Yi really annoyed this eunuch. It was fine to be sarcastic and sarcasm when he first came here, but now at least he is clearly above him, and he is arrogant enough to dare to say that.

"Okay, okay, can't I go?" Chi Yi struggled from the soft bed, and Wanbi wrapped him in a cloak.

Going out from the side door of Chunyang Palace is a winding and deep garden.Wang Lu was waiting at the entrance, so Chi Yi had to go into the garden alone.In winter, everything was withered and the snow was full of white. He went around a few times before finding He Rongchuan holding a cat and staring at a pavilion.

The pavilion leans against the pond and is surrounded by water on three sides. It is built very high and connected to the shore by a step.He Rongchuan stood facing the water, his head and shoulders covered with frost and snow.

Chi Yi was in a daze for a moment, not daring to get too close to him, and called carefully: "Your Majesty, are you looking for me?"

Hearing this, He Rongchuan trembled slightly, threw the cat in his arms into the pavilion, and said in a deep voice, "It will die inside, you go and save it."

... What did he say?

Chi Yi didn't understand, but since he was still talking about cats, he must have missed the pill.And Concubine Wan said that he ate the whole plate of dumplings, so he must have eaten the soft pill too... What a waste of work!

He walked obediently to the steps, intending to go up to the pavilion to catch the cat.However, the steps look normal from the side, but when you get closer, you find that there is a section of space in the middle, and you have to climb if you want to go up.

The pure white kitten lay down in the pavilion and let out a soft cry.Chi Yi had no choice but to stand on the snowy steps, but the next step was too high, and he couldn't even climb up...

"You can't go up, let alone a five-year-old child."

Chi Yi opened his eyes wide and turned his head. The man was standing with his hands behind his back, his eyes fell on the pavilion, and his eyes were a little blurred.

"Xuexue was lost 17 years ago and could not be found anywhere. Suddenly, a palace official said that he had seen it in Chunyang Palace. After coming here, he saw two eunuchs in the pavilion, one was pulling its limbs, and the other was holding a knife. "

The voice is long and light, as if separated by a layer of tulle.Chi Yi was a little confused when he heard that, he went down the steps and took two steps towards him.

"Those two seemed to be waiting for a spectator, and when they arrived, they suddenly thrust the knife into Xuexue's stomach, pierced it into a sieve, and there was blood all over the place."

"The child was not yet sensible, and he only wanted to save it. He stood and jumped on the steps, but he couldn't get up. It was useless to shout at the top of his voice. In the end, he watched the cat that had been raised for five years gradually lose its vitality and die like a cat. Like Ling Chi."

Chi Yi didn't have time to think about it, "Who did it? Why is it so cruel?"

He Rongchuan turned his back completely, and said word by word: "Since you don't understand, don't mix it indiscriminately. No matter how powerful you are, there will always be places in this world that you shouldn't set foot in."

Chi Yi lowered his head to integrate what he had just heard with the existing information, and suddenly his heart twitched.If he was only five years old at that time, he had never fought or killed anyone, and he witnessed such a bloody scene, and the one who died was his own cat, how much psychological pressure would it have?

He understood what He Rongchuan meant by "places he shouldn't set foot in". This person has experienced tragic psychological distortions, and it would be very unrealistic for Wanbi or anyone else to have a relationship with him.

Although he didn't know it, it was indeed too much to bring him to the Chunyang Palace, instigate him to pet the cat, and reproduce the tragic scenes of the past.Chi Yi lowered his eyebrows and said sincerely, "I'm sorry, I don't know this, it wasn't on purpose."

The sky was as dark as ink, and there were no lights in the small garden. It was a blur, with snowflakes falling on the eyelashes, making it even more difficult to see the way ahead.

"Is this the end?" There was no tone of voice.

Chi Yi smiled bitterly, "Then what do you want to do, you can't just stab me a few times to relieve your anger."

"I really want to stab you a few times now."

The tall figure who had been turning his back finally turned around, he couldn't see his expression clearly through the heavy snow curtain, he could only feel that he was staring at him.After a long time, the man took two steps forward, and after stretching his brows, it was as cold as the wind and snow.

"When you made such a fuss, you didn't know it. I didn't intend to argue with you. But you are looking for Concubine Wan."

Hearing these words, Chi Yi finally panicked.

The last time I went to the military camp to make friends with General Xu's subordinates, I was suspected by the suspicious tyrant of conspiracy. This time, I joined forces with General Xu's sister to plot against him... Even the suspicion of the prime minister's mansion was not cleared, and another handshake came As a general in military power, Chi Yi felt that he was really stupid.

Just as he was thinking about defending or pleading guilty, he saw the cat in the pavilion suddenly jumped down, went straight to He Rongchuan, and threw itself on him.Taking advantage of his opportunity to deal with the cat, Chi Yi moved over in two or three steps, hid in the protagonist's halo, and lay on his shoulders like the cat.

"What's wrong with Concubine Wan, what I'm looking for?" Chi Yi gnawed on that shoulder, "We were discussing the serious matter of how to trick you into taking gentle pills, and it wasn't about talking about love. You haven't even pulled your hand, what kind of vinegar are you eating?"

He turned to the front of the man, supported his face with one hand, parted his lips with the other, and leaned forward slightly, "Well... the smell of dumplings is there, and the pill should be eaten. But why is there no smell of wine? "

He got close to the person in front of him and smelled him up and down, "There's no smell of alcohol, could it be covered by the smell of dumplings? Didn't I trick you here to make you drink alcohol, and you won't become gentle after taking pills." .”

"Then wait for three days." Chi Yi leaned back on He Rongchuan, hugged the cat on his shoulder, rubbed his furry paws against his face, and smiled, "It must be special to see the tyrant turning into a kitten." cute."

"But if you don't drink... Forget it, it's a waste of a mission reward. Anyway, you can only be gentle for six hours, even if you really can't sleep with a few wives seven times a night. ——No, this is too wicked, those people It took eight lifetimes of misfortune for the girl to marry a dead tyrant..."

"Meow--"

The cat in his arms screamed suddenly, and Chi Yi saw that He Rongchuan pinched it on the back of its neck for some reason. Its soft pads stretched out sharp claws, scratched Chi Yi's arms, and kicked his legs from the cat. Jump off him.

"Hiss - scratch whoever pinches you, why scratch me!" Chi Yi was so angry that he knelt down to hit the cat, but unexpectedly let go of the person behind him, and the other party took a few steps back.

Chi Yi slapped the cat on the head, and suddenly realized that he was out of the aura of the protagonist?

And before entering the halo of the protagonist, He Rongchuan was discussing with him about ulterior motives and plots?

Chi Yi raised his eyes with a mournful face, and saw that the tyrant was staring at him, with an unconcealable sullen look on his face, as if he was waiting for an explanation from himself, but he didn't seem to want to hear it, and cut his neck open with sharp eyes the next moment.

He couldn't prove the real reason for coming to Wanbi at all—he didn't know anyone else.So I had no choice but to make up: "Well... I saw it last time, what is that name, Song Cairen, she pushed Wanbi into the lake... So I thought, let Your Majesty come to Chunyang Palace to sit
