In the Chunyang Palace, idle eunuchs and court ladies were scattered everywhere, and a nun was grooming a black cat in the corridor.

The quiet palace was broken by the sound of "Your Majesty has arrived" at the door, and everyone was inevitably surprised.After all, the winter solstice was the only time His Majesty stepped into the Chunyang Palace on his own initiative in the past few years.

Last time they only felt that His Majesty was indifferent and inaccessible, but this time it was more in line with the image of a tyrant in their minds——

This person strode into Chunyang Palace, his face was very ugly, his tense facial features couldn't suppress the raging anger in his eyes.

He didn't enter the house, but stood on the road, leaving a majestic back for everyone.The chief eunuch Wang Lu came down, and the steward of Chunyang Palace said: "Unfortunately, the concubine Wan has gone to the imperial garden."

He Rongchuan heard the words, and said gloomyly: "You don't even bring your maidservants with you when you go out?"

Everyone is puzzled, how can this be seen?

"Usually I brought it, but today—" the nanny who had been huddled in the corner put down the cat, and bowed politely, "Today is Mr. Chi looking for your mother, so naturally I won't bring it."

Sensing the sharp eyes coming over her, she smiled deeply, "Master Chi often comes to Chunyang Palace. Once he enters the house, he will lock the door and close the windows with your empress, and no servants are allowed to come close."

Now everyone figured out something was wrong.But He Rongchuan was calm when he heard this. He rolled up his robe sleeves, coughed lightly, and raised his voice: "It's really presumptuous. Wang Lu, drag this nonsense slave down to beat him."

After finishing speaking, he ignored others and entered the main hall of Chunyang Palace.

Wang Lu had no choice but to send someone to beat the nanny in the yard, scare everyone to shut them up, and deal with the lively cats all over the ground, which was a lot of work.

After hitting more than a dozen boards, there was no serious injury. Wang Lu was still terribly tired. When he entered the room, he saw His Majesty the Emperor stiffly nailed to the main seat, his eyes staring blankly through the palace walls, and stopped at an unreachable distance.

"His Majesty……"

He Rongchuan's eyes gradually focused on, and there was still a trace of daze in his eyes, and he said without beginning and end: "The slave said that Chi Yi often comes to Chunyang Palace, how often is it?"

Wang Lu recalled for a moment, "It's not very often, according to the secret guard who followed, probably..."

Just at this moment, the screams of several cats fighting overwhelmed the words behind him.He Rongchuan didn't ask any more questions, got up suddenly, and said abruptly, "What did you just say? Lu Zhaoyi brought people to a banquet in Chonghua Palace?"

"Ah... yes, I think the banquet has just started not long ago."

He Rongchuan clenched his fists, and a sneer flashed across his lips, "Come on, let's sit down too."

……

After running out of flower cakes and wine at the top of the mountain, Chi Yi planned to send Concubine Wan back to Chunyang Palace.These days, he is well versed in the dangers of the world in the book, and it is too dangerous for a little girl to walk back to Chunyang Palace from the imperial garden without a maid.

After coming down from the rockery, Chi Yi entered the monitoring range of the hidden guards, and he didn't dare to talk business with Wanpin again.When the two walked out of the imperial garden, the rain that had been held back all afternoon was pouring down, and even an umbrella couldn't stop it.

Yang Shun was afraid that Chi Yi would get caught in the rain, so he asked him to go back to the palace first, and then he went to see off Concubine Wan for him.Anyway, no matter where Chi Yi went, there were always a few hidden guards following him quietly.

Chi Yi returned to Zhenghuai Palace "alone", seeing that He Rongchuan was not there, he immediately felt a lot more at ease.He took a flower petal bath in the room, rolled a few times on the bed, thought of the cowhide he had blown in front of Concubine Wan just now, so he put out a pen and paper, and recalled the pure Chinese war operation written by the original.

After trying so hard to make such a trick, they should be able to deceive them all, right?

He sat alone in Zhenghuai Palace until midnight, the rain didn't stop, and he didn't see He Rongchuan come back.These days, Tianchi Yi was in the same room with that tyrant every night, from being afraid at the beginning to getting used to it, now that the man suddenly didn't come back, he felt strangely deserted.

He seems to be used to the feeling that there is someone beside him who wants to kill him at any time, and his hands are pressed on his neck, but instead of pinching, he rubs his cheek.

He wanted to ask Yang Shun about He Rongchuan's whereabouts, but at this moment he heard a noise at the door.Chi Yi went over to watch, and saw a piece of paper handed over by the guard at the palace gate.Yang Shundao: "Wei Shilang of the Ministry of Rites submitted it and let His Majesty decide."

"It was delivered in the middle of the night, why is it so urgent?" Chi Yi muttered, and read it again, his face changed slightly.

At Zhu Ziyuan's talk today, an outsider who came to observe clashed with another examinee who was discussing politics on stage. For some reason, they fought violently. In the chaos, the audience beat the examinee to death.

And these two Chi Yi happened to know each other, the former was Guo Yu, the deputy general of the Central Army, and the latter was Tian Geng, an examinee from Huizhou.

When these two identities are put together, things get tricky.

As soon as Tian Geng died, the examinees felt that the inferiors had been persecuted by the imperial army. A group of people who were already cynical ganged up and ran to the gate of the Central Military Office to protest loudly and demand Guo Yu's death.

According to military law, it is not impossible to be sentenced to death.But according to the new regulations, murder must be approved by the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and it will take ten days and a half months to complete the process.

If you want to kill someone immediately, unless it is an imperial decree or a military order.Guo Yu was promoted by Prime Minister Yao. If Xu Jian really asked the military order to kill him, it would be to avenge the Central Army in front of Prime Minister Yao.

Xu Jian had no choice but to send people to negotiate, but the examinees refused to let go anyway, and insisted on Guo Yu's execution, otherwise they would abandon the exam collectively and just hang out outside the government office of the Central Military Government, completely making the matter worse.

Candidates under the support of the New Deal, the Central Army, Prime Minister Yao... This matter is too delicate.Xu Jian didn't dare to deal with it himself, so he reported it to the Ministry of War. The Ministry of War asked the Ministry of Rites who was in charge of scientific examinations to make a settlement. This responsibility could not be taken care of.

After reading this briefing, a lot of question marks popped up in Chi Yi's mind.Guo met a general, why did he go to Zhu Ziyuan to listen to the talk?If he killed on purpose, why did he do it in full view?If it was just a miss, how could Xu Jian's lieutenant miss such a fatal move?

Chi Yi tugged at Yang Shun, "Let's go, I'll go too."

"Young Master Chi..." Yang Shun put on a flattering smile, "You just took a bath, and it's going to rain again when you go out. You should just rest and run errands, and the servants will go."

This person deliberately made Chi Yi feel that something was wrong, he frowned and asked, "So where is Your Majesty now?"

Yang Shun faltered: "Your Majesty...now..."

The little eunuch on the side picked up: "Your Majesty is staying in Chonghua Palace now!"

"Talking!" Yang Shun gave the little eunuch a hard look.

Chi Yi understood that He Rongchuan went to Chonghua Palace to sleep with his wife, and Yang Shun was afraid that he would be jealous?

Jealousy does not exist, but I am a little curious.In the past, He Rongchuan had no interest in his wives. Chi Yi even suspected that in the original book, he would be a baby until his death. Why was he suddenly...infected by the romantic atmosphere of the Flower Festival?

Chi Yi is going, no one can stop him.When they arrived at Chonghua Palace, Lu Zhaoyi came out from the side hall to meet them.

"Miss Lu, Your Majesty, this is..." Chi Yi didn't have the nerve to ask directly.

Lu Zhaoyi did not shy away: "Today, His Majesty had a banquet with all the sisters, and he used it if someone toasted him. The flower wine is not very exciting, and whoever wants His Majesty to get drunk after a few drinks. If he refuses to send him back to Zhenghuai Palace, he will rest. It's in Chonghua Palace. Your Majesty will place it in the main hall, Mr. Chi, don't worry."

"Your Majesty drinking alcohol? It's rare." Yang Shun muttered.Chi Yi recalled the original book, and it seemed that he really didn't remember when He Rongchuan drank alcohol. The last time he saw him drinking was when he took the soft pill.What was going on at that time...

A few people came to the entrance of the main hall and entered the room to wake up He Rongchuan. No one liked to do such an offending thing, so it fell on the good old Chi Yi again.

The corner of Chi Yi's mouth twitched, and he couldn't feel it when he was close to the other party. What's this called?

There is no charcoal fire in the house on rainy days, it is cold and gloomy.Chi Yi had seen He Rongchuan sleeping before, and always felt that this person was dead when he fell asleep, with no expression on his face, and his limbs lay stiffly on the bed.

But today, the person on the bed arched his back, curled up slightly, and still clutched the corner of the quilt with one hand.Going closer, the faint light outside the window reflected the fine sweat on his temples, swallowing the boundless night when his brows were furrowed.

Chi Yi was inexplicably flustered, and tentatively called him a few times, but he couldn't wake up.

With He Rongchuan's ability to wake up and kill people immediately when he is in danger while sleeping, if he can't wake up, it can only be because he doesn't want to wake up.

Chi Yi looked around for something longer, so he stood a meter away and poked the person on the bed.But the room was too clean, so after searching around, only a sword belonging to He Rongchuan was found.

The action of stabbing someone with a sword is easy to be misunderstood, so Chi Yi squeezed the tip of the sword, tapped the man's arm twice with the hilt, and said, "Your Majesty, I am Chi Yi. I have something urgent to do. Wake up."

His hands were sore, and Chi Yi saw that the man slowly opened his eyes, and then looked straight at him, the eyes were pure and burning, an expression that this man had never had before.

After looking at it for a long time, a silly smile suddenly appeared on the originally sharp and cold face, and he said vaguely: "I thought you weren't coming..."

This shocked Chi Yi, he didn't think too much, and quickly set out to get down to business: "The Minister of Rituals reported that the Central Army had a conflict with the students to be tested, and they are causing trouble in the city. It involves Prime Minister Yao. ..."

Before he finished speaking, He Rongchuan suddenly pulled the hand holding the hilt of the sword, and brought Chi Yi to the bedside.After getting closer, Chi Yi smelled the faint smell of alcohol on the man's body, which dyed his cheeks bright red, coupled with that somewhat childish expression, there was no majesty of an emperor at all.

Chi Yi expected that the other party couldn't see him at this time, and was about to stay away and talk about business, but his wrist was grabbed by a cold hand.

"...Longzhou, the folk customs in Longzhou are fierce...the sword has no eyes on the battlefield...no matter how good your skills are, how can you defeat thousands of troops..."

Chi Yi froze in place. He grabbed his hand and talked to himself?So last time...wasn't it a coincidence, as long as the protagonist's aura would lose its effect if he drank too much?

"It's so far away, if something happens..." The strength on the wrist tightened, and the voice was low, crushed in the torrential rain, "...I can't protect you."

Chi Yi shivered for a moment, suppressing his careful thoughts.Since he could see himself, he took the report into his hand and said softly: "How to deal with this matter, you can give me directions, and I can handle the rest..."

"You, Chi Yi, are so thoughtful, you can make up your own mind about such trivial matters." He Rongchuan glanced at the paper and stuffed it back to him, with worry and anger in his eyes, he murmured: "You don't care about yourself... ..."

After that, I couldn't hear clearly.There were a bunch of people waiting outside, Chi Yi didn't want to stay here to coax the drunks, so he said hastily, "Then I can figure it out, so I won't disturb your rest."

He hung the sword back, pressed He Rongchuan on the bed and tucked the quilt for him, turned and walked out.

"Chi Yi!"

Chi Yi was frightened by the sudden yelling, so he turned around helplessly, only to see that the man was poking his head out to look at him, his expression was blurred by the night, and he couldn't see through anything.

"Go early and return early."

The author has something to say: Xiaochi stabbed Xiaohe with a sword.

The vengeful Xiaohe feels that he must stab him back in the future.
