Hey!How dare you take me as a substitute

Heng Mingshi sat on a chair padded with several layers of cushions, honestly opened his mouth and waited to be fed - he was really tired and didn't want to move at all.

The temperature of the meat porridge was just right, and when the spoon put the porridge into the mouth, it could be swallowed directly, and soon Heng Mingshi finished a big bowl full of it.

Heng Mingshi patted his stomach contentedly: "It tastes good, where did you buy the porridge?"

"The emperor likes it, and I will bring it tomorrow." Feng Qi saw that Heng Mingshi hadn't eaten, so he drank up the porridge left in the food box.When he was clearing away the dishes, he saw Heng Mingshi lowered his head and touched his stomach with his hands, his expression looked a little dignified.

Feng Qi: "Is there any discomfort in the emperor?"

Heng Mingshi: "No, I just feel... my stomach seems to have gotten bigger."

Feng Qi: "..."

Heng Mingshi looked up at Feng Qi and said, "It's all because of you!"

"Boom! Ding Ling's palms!..." There was a sound of things smashing into the ground at the door.

Heng Mingshi frowned slightly, and gestured to Feng Qi with his eyes.

Feng Qi immediately walked to the screen, took a look outside, and said to Heng Mingshi: "It's Eunuch Gao."

Soon, the voice of Gao Gong announcing the crime sounded outside: "The emperor calms down! The emperor calms down! The servant saw that the emperor had not come out, and did not hear a response when he called. He was worried that the emperor was hungry, so he wanted to send some food in first and put it outside. On the table, there is no intention to disturb the emperor, the emperor calms down!"

Heng Mingshi slept until the afternoon and didn't go out. In the past, it was time to deliver dinner at this time.

Heng Mingshi rubbed his stomach, no wonder he felt hungry just now, so he missed two meals.

"Okay, I don't blame you, I've already had my meal, since you've come in, let's change the tea." Heng Ming said.

Only then did Eunuch Gao get up from the ground, lowered his head, walked past the screen, and brought the teapot on the table.

When approaching, Eunuch Gao's eyes uncontrollably aimed at Heng Mingshi's stomach.

Heng Mingshi was still rubbing his stomach to digest food at the moment. Seeing Eunuch Gao's gaze fell on his stomach, he couldn't help frowning: "Is it obvious?"

Eunuch Gao: "..." As expected, he heard correctly just now!The emperor is really talking about a big belly!And it's also related to this seal!

However, the emperor is a man!

What kind of ulterior secret is this difficult?

God damn it!He doesn't want to know these secrets at all!The more you know, the faster you die!

Eunuch Gao swallowed with difficulty: "Back... back to the emperor, yes, it's not very obvious."

Heng Mingshi: "Then it's still bigger than before? Feng Qi! Look at what you've done!"

Eunuch Gao: "..." Scary!He is deaf!He is blind!He didn't hear or see anything!It is true that the emperor is pregnant with General Feng's child?

Heng Mingshi sighed: "It seems that I really ate too much."

Eunuch Gao: "..." Huh?

Heng Mingshi: "Next time, don't bring so many meat dishes, especially chicken legs and braised pork, they are the root of all evil!"

Feng Qi glanced at Eunuch Gao who was in a petrified state, and said, "Obey."

Heng Mingshi touched his belly which was rounder than before, and said with grief and indignation: "The abdominal muscles I have practiced for so long are gone! No way! I must train again!"

Feng Qi suddenly bent down, put one hand on Heng Mingshi's stomach, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I will definitely be responsible."

Eunuch Gao, who had already realized that he would get the wrong meaning: "..." Don't talk half-speak!It's scary, okay?

----

In order to regain his abs, Heng Mingshi began to take time to exercise.

At the same time, we have to deal with the constant suspicion of Queen Mother An.

With such a big assassination incident, there were naturally discussions inside and outside the palace, various conspiracy theories appeared, and several princes with the right to inherit became the objects of suspicion.

Although Heng Mingshi has already learned about the mastermind behind the scenes from those alchemists, but... the mastermind behind the scenes is the one who cannot be revealed the least.

Seeing Empress Dowager An hypocritically summoning all the princes, and then detaining them in the palace in the name of "investigation", Heng Mingshi couldn't help but sigh.

good, very good!

All the clan princes who have blood relationship with the royal family were detained in the palace, but An Huaiyan's later named king with a different surname was not summoned. Doesn't this make it clear that he only put his suspicious eyes on these clan princes? ?

The most suspected person got away with it, but the less suspicious person was detained. What Queen Mother An did is really throwing other people's IQ on the ground.

"...I heard that An Huaiyan is still competing with Beixu Wang Hengxu for an oiran recently. Now that Hengxu is detained in the palace, the flower must have fallen into An Huaiyan's hands." Heng Mingshi flicked casually Holding the silver needles, he flicked the needles onto the grass target one by one.

The grass target was only the size of a fist, and it was placed on the other side of the room. Heng Mingshi was lying on the bed, seemingly randomly flicking the needles, but all of them hit the fist-sized grass target, and the grass target was completely shot. A needled hedgehog.

"...Besides, An Huaiyan had some disputes with Heng Yu, but they reconciled quickly. It must have been a deal." Heng Mingshi paused with his fingertips, and the silver needle twirled around his fingertips. It bounced out of the window!

And on the tree outside the window, a black shadow suddenly fell down, hitting heavily on the grass leaves piled up on the ground.

But soon, the person who hit the ground was taken away by two other shadows that jumped by, and sent to Heng Mingshi.

Without even looking at it, Heng Mingshi picked up five needles from the tray placed aside, and flicked them all at the masked assassin.

"Hmm!" The assassin was pinned down by the Eagle Guards, and his mouth was gagged, so he could only hum.

He had just hid in that tree just now, before he was ready to assassinate, he felt numb under his feet, so he stepped on the trunk of the tree, slipped and fell down the tree, and fell dizzy.

Then he was tied up here, and was pressed hard to kneel on the ground, unable to move.

It was only then that the assassin realized what a difficult job he had taken on. Before that, he thought that those who came to assassinate but disappeared for no reason were inferior to others.

The assassin felt a few more needles stuck into his shoulder, and he didn't know if those needles were poisonous. The fear of the unknown made his eyes widen, and he struggled crazily again.

Heng Mingshi said slowly: "Which assassin did you change this time? The previous assassins from Xuanwu Hall and Assassin Sect are gone. I miss you very much."

Ying Jiu: "Back to the emperor, this person should belong to the Shadow Pavilion, with a tattoo of the Shadow Pavilion on the back of his neck."

Shadow Pavilion is the same as Xuanwutang in Jianghu, can be included in the five major assassin gangs, and the status of Shadow Pavilion is higher than Xuanwutang.

Heng Mingshi: "Same as before, it is rumored that Feng Qi is responsible for escorting, with him, no matter which assassins, they will not be able to get close to me."

Heng Mingshi played with the silver needle in his hand, and said: "Feng Jiajun is the patron saint of the Yuan country, and Feng Qi is my patron saint. Even if I am a fool, he will protect me to the death. Today's assassin failed to assassinate. Blocked by Feng Qi, Feng Qi is simply invincible... well, probably pass it on like this."

Ying Jiu: "Here!"

assassin:! ! !Fuck!Those assassins who were rumored to enter the palace for assassination were blocked by Feng Qi, that's how it came about!Fortunately, he also specifically confirmed that Feng Qi had left the palace and did not guard the dog emperor, so he came to assassinate him!Unexpectedly, I still entered the pit!

Heng Mingshi: "Today, I happened to be short of a target to practice acupuncture, and you came at just the right time." Heng Mingshi said as he motioned the assassin to look not far away, the straw target that had been pricked into a prickly ball by the needle. .

assassin:"……"

The assassin looked desperate, and kept knocking his head to the ground, trying to get rid of the fate of being pierced into a ball by needles.

Heng Mingshi signaled Ying Jiu to pull out the rag stuffed into his mouth.

On the rag, the assassin retched uncontrollably for several times before trembling and saying: "The emperor spares my life..."

Heng Mingshi said strangely: "You actually refused to take poison and committed suicide, but you are afraid of death."

assassin:"……"

Heng Mingshi: "It's just that I've gotten a little bored recently. Those assassins are like weeds. After cutting one crop after another, the dungeon is not enough to pile up."

Assassin: "..." Can you use "heap" to describe it, is it still a living person?

Heng Mingshi: "Well, if you can put this wooden box in Concubine Hua's bedroom, and then subtly let Concubine Hua know that your employer is Beixu Wang Hengxu, I will let you live."

The assassin didn't expect to be able to survive after being caught, and he was overjoyed, "As long as the Holy One can spare my life, I will do anything!"

Heng Mingshi: "It's one thing to be willing to do it, but another thing to be able to do it well."

Naturally, the assassin repeatedly assured himself that he could do it.

Heng Mingshi: "One more thing, the needle I stuck into your body just now is poisonous."

assassin:"……"

Heng Mingshi: "There is a cure for this poison, but it needs to be done every half a month."

In other words, if you want to live longer, you must be obedient.

The assassin wanted to cry, but he was poisoned with a certain kind of poison in the Shadow Pavilion and needed to take antidote regularly. Now he was poisoned with another kind of poison, and he didn't know if it would have any effect.

Heng Mingshi: "You don't have to go back to the Shadow Pavilion. I heard that the Shadow Pavilion will give each assassin a poison called "Xiao", and they need to take the antidote every month to save their lives. There is a genius doctor who can detoxify this poison, if you are obedient and obedient, all the poison that has been planted on you can be detoxified."

The assassin hurriedly said: "The villain must obey the holy order!"

Heng Mingshi waved for Ying Jiu to take him down, and said, "Eagle Two."

Eagle Two: "Yes!"

Heng Mingshi: "From my observation, this person's body shape and appearance are somewhat similar to Ying Shi's. You make a human skin mask for Ying Shi according to this person's appearance, and let Ying Shi imitate this person in the next few days. Be sure to do it." To the point of resemblance in appearance and spirit, and set out all the contact information between this person and the Shadow Pavilion."

After a pause, Heng Ming said: "Afterwards, if there are other assassins from the Shadow Pavilion, pick out a few who are similar in size to you, pretend to be them, and sneak into the Shadow Pavilion."

Eagle Two: "Obey!"

Heng Mingshi: "Have the people who were placed in the Xuanwu Hall and the Assassin's Gate before been exposed?"

Ying Er: "Going back to the emperor, I haven't exposed it yet."

Heng Mingshi: "Continue to lurk and be on standby at any time."

Eagle Two: "Here!"
