Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

When Heng Mingshi gave the polished crystal glasses to Que Qiushu, Que Qiushu was crouching in the underground tunnel, beating on a mechanism that didn't know what it was used for.

The light from the oil lamp was very dim, and the shadow cast on the wall of the tunnel flickered, and Que Qiushu's eyes were almost narrowed into two slits.

"Sister Shu, your face is almost on the wall." Heng Mingshi couldn't help reminding.

Que Qiushu: "..."

Qin Qiushu held his heart that was about to jump out of fright: "Your Majesty, do you make no sound when you walk?"

Heng Mingshi: "Actually, there are, but you didn't hear them."

Qin Qiushu put down the work in hand, and bowed to Heng Mingshi: "See the emperor, the emperor is blessed and healthy."

Heng Mingshi: "Sister Shu, you don't need to be too polite. I'm here today for nothing important, but I have something to give to Sister Shu."

Without beating around the bush, Heng Mingshi took out a small wooden box from his sleeve and handed it to Que Qiushu.

Qin Qiushu thanked her, then reached out to take it, and was hesitating where to put it first, when Heng Mingshi said: "Open it and try."

Only then did Qin Qiushu open the wooden box, and saw a round object placed inside.

Que Qiushu looked puzzled, and took out the round transparent object, only to find that there was a small handle on it that could be held by hand, a gold chain was strung on the small handle, and a few gold chains were strung at the end of the chain. A red jade the size of a fingertip.

"Your Majesty, this is..."

Heng Mingshi reminded: "If you hold it in front of your eyes, you will know what it can do."

Qin Qiushu did as she said, then suddenly opened her eyes wide, and said in a surprised tone: "This, this is..."

Heng Mingshi: "Can you see clearly?"

"I can see clearly! I can see clearly!" Qin Qiushu said in surprise, "Your Majesty! What is this thing? It's so amazing?"

Quin Qiushu took the crystal glasses, looked left and right, as if to see all his masterpieces clearly, and kept looking at the various parts placed in the dark passage with it.

Heng Mingshi briefly explained what it is, and said, try to make one first, and then make two next time, and fix it with a shelf, which can be directly placed on the bridge of the nose.

Que Qiushu nodded again and again, and said happily: "This thing is very good. I happen to have a small thing to make, but it is too delicate. I can't see clearly, and I can't get it right. This is called the eye... Glasses? These glasses will help a lot!"

Heng Mingshi was a little curious: "What weird things are you tinkering with?"

Quin Qiushu didn't hide anything, and directly took out a small cloth bag from the skirt, untied the rope, and poured out a small black ring-shaped object.

Quin Qiushu took out the newly acquired glasses with the other hand, aimed at the black ring that fell in the palm of his hand, and said while looking at it: "Actually, it's not a rare thing, it's just a hidden weapon of the ring, but this one is better than the rings before. Smaller and smaller, it is suitable for wearing on the little finger, and because it is too small, there are no carvings on the surface, but only the small button of the wave mechanism."

While talking, Que Qiushu put the black ring on her little finger.

Heng Mingshi saw Que Qiushu put the small ring on his little finger with difficulty, and couldn't help but said: "If you can't get it in, don't be brave, right? If you can't get it out, you will suffer. Why don't you make it into a necklace or a ring?" Erpan and other things are easy to wear and won't attract attention."

Qin Qiushu pondered for a while, seemed to be pondering whether it was feasible, and then nodded: "Chenqie, give it a try."

----

The two of them researched the way of making hidden weapons in the secret passageway at the bottom of the cold palace, and when Heng Mingshi came out, it was already afternoon.

Heng Mingshi rubbed his stomach that was starting to feel wronged, and then remembered that he hadn't had lunch yet.

Quin Qiushu is an idiot, as long as he focuses on those things, he has no other ideas. Forgetting to eat is a common thing.

If Heng Mingshi hadn't sent three eagle guards earlier to supervise in turn... Oh no, they delivered food to Que Qiushu at regular intervals. Quin Qiushu would only know that he was "hungry" because he would stick to his chest and back. Character.

Well, of course, there is food and drink to send to Que Qiushu, so that Que Qiushu can continue to stay at home until he grows old.

The Leng Gong is desolate to others, but to Qin Qiushu it is pure.

However, this place is still too restrictive, and Que Qiushu still wants to go outside the palace, find some like-minded people, and exchange ideas.

At the beginning, Que Qiushu secretly dug these tunnels behind Heng Mingshi's back, but he didn't want to be discovered by Heng Mingshi. Besides, he can also borrow a way to go out for a walk.

In order to show his support, Heng Mingshi made a special trip to find the distribution map of the secret passages under the palace, and asked Qin Qiushu to stay away from the original secret passages under the palace as much as possible, so as not to be discovered by others.

With the help of Heng Mingshi, the underground tunnel in Lenggong can lead to the outside of the palace, and the reason why Qin Qiushu didn't leave directly is also because, Qin Qiushu didn't want to change her name, she wanted to use the one her mother gave her. Name, let Que's name justifiably stand up.

Of course Heng Mingshi saw Qin Qiushu's thoughts, so he pulled him into his boat.

Right now, Heng Mingshi was thinking about what to do for lunch, when he saw Feng Qi took out a food box, even though the food box was covered, there was still a scent permeating it, which instantly hooked Heng Mingshi who hadn't eaten yet.

"This is……"

Feng Qi: "I saw that the emperor hadn't come out for a long time, so I went to Xiangmanlou to buy some dishes, all of which were still hot." Feng Qi said while opening the food box, first took out the two layers of vegetables on the top, and put them in the food box. On the bottom floor, a bowl full of rice was taken out, placed in Heng Mingshi's hand, and handed over the chopsticks.

Heng Mingshi: "..."

Heng Mingshi: "Just eat here?" This is the outside of the small wall of the cold palace, where weeds are overgrown and insects and ants are running around.

The two of them stood here, one holding a food box and the other holding bowls and chopsticks, how strange it looked.

"Gululu..." Just at this quiet moment, a discordant voice suddenly sounded... Well, it was still a duet.

Heng Mingshi: "..."

Feng Qi: "..."

Heng Mingshi's eyes were fixed on Feng Qi's stomach, and then he drove half a bowl of rice in his hand into a dish in Feng Qi's hand, and picked some vegetables from that dish into his own bowl Li said, "Hurry up and eat."

So, when Eunuch Gao rushed over in a hurry, what he saw was the two of them squatting by the low wall outside the cold palace, sharing the food that was full of a large food box.

Eunuch Gao: "..." Will it be silenced?Now turn around and leave, as if you didn't see it, is there still time?

However, it was already too late, Heng Mingshi had already finished the last bite of food, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped his mouth, and said, "Gao Gaozi, what a coincidence, I can meet you here by chance."

Eunuch Gao was ashamed: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager sent someone here just now, and the slave reported that you were taking a bath, which is inconvenient. Look at this..."

Heng Mingshi frowned: "There is nothing special today, why does the Queen Mother have the time to look for me?"

Eunuch Gao cupped his hands: "The servant was just now inquiring with the person who came here. I heard that it was because there was something wrong with Concubine Hua, but I don't know why I didn't come to Jinluan Palace to report, but reported directly to the Empress Dowager."

Heng Mingshi rubbed his chin: "There is no queen in the harem, and it is right to report to the queen mother if something happens. It seems that Concubine Hua has finally learned to be smart."

Right now there is no queen, Empress Dowager An is the lord of the harem. If Concubine Hua has something to do, she should report to Empress Dowager An first, but in the past, Concubine Hua couldn't figure it out. , was a head taller than others, and took advantage of being the best candidate for the empress, so she delusionally planned to send a few little maids to "call" the little emperor to her Linhua Palace.

Of course, Heng Mingshi is very face-saving and will go every time, but every time, Heng Mingshi can disturb the peace of Concubine Hua's palace for several days.

Concubine Hua suffered so many losses, but she couldn't figure out the reason. Heng Mingshi originally thought that Concubine Hua's IQ was just like that, but he didn't expect that she could wait until the day when she went to the Queen Mother to "rescue soldiers".

"Let's go and see what's going on." Heng Mingshi went to eat melons full of expectations.

……

Something happened to Concubine Hua, but it wasn't Concubine Hua herself, but her little brat.

Heng Wenjin fell ill again, but this time it was a real cold, her little face flushed from coughing.

When Heng Mingshi arrived, Empress Dowager An happened to come out from inside, and said, "Hao'er was also so weak and sickly when he was a child, and he had to use soup and medicine every now and then, alas..."

Concubine Hua followed Empress Dowager An, responded with a cry, and wiped the corners of her eyes lightly.

Heng Mingshi: "..." What?Are you thinking it's genetic?

"Since the emperor is here, let's go in and see the emperor's son." Seeing Heng Mingshi bouncing in, Empress Dowager An frowned slightly.

Concubine Hua stood behind Empress Dowager An, simply bent her knees, made a gesture of salute, and said: "My concubine sees the emperor, and the emperor is blessed and healthy."

Heng Mingshi's eyes swept across the faces of the two without a trace, and he said with a smile: "Mother, on the way here, I saw a few small insects, they were very cute, as cute as the little emperor, so I caught them. Come and give it to the little Huang'er, I believe the little Huang'er will definitely like it!" After finishing speaking, Heng Mingshi stretched out his right hand, which was behind his back, and spread out his palm, revealing a few small black worms held inside.

Concubine Hua: "..."

Queen Mother An: "..."

"Buzz!" Feeling that they were no longer restrained, the little bugs quickly vibrated their wings and flew out of Heng Mingshi's palm in a hurry. Some of them, by coincidence, flew straight towards Empress Dowager An and Concubine Hua!

Concubine Hua: "Ahhhh!—"

Facing the flying insects that came suddenly, Concubine Hua was so frightened that her face turned pale, she waved her sleeves and kept screaming and backed away, and bumped directly into the large celadon vase behind her.

As the vase toppled over and made a loud "clang" sound, Empress Dowager An finally couldn't bear it any longer and shouted angrily, "Enough! What a shame!"
