Shadow guard, he carried my cub

The sky was turning bright as Chi Ming leaned against the head of the bed, with a sleeping person lying beside him.

In His Majesty's bedroom, except for the empress who can stay overnight, other concubines are not allowed to spend the night in His Majesty's bedroom. In the past, Yiying would go back to the residence after serving her bed, but this time she was so tired that she fell asleep directly.

Chi Ming had no intention of sending him back to his residence. He looked at the sleeping face of the sleeping man, and three thousand hairs scattered behind his head like splashes of ink. After a long time, Chi Ming reached out and stroked Yiying's side face a few times, and then He leaned over and kissed the man's face again.

After doing these things, the emperor of Yu Kingdom felt as uncomfortable as a thief. It was almost time to go to court. His Majesty simply got up and dressed, and then lowered the curtain on the dragon couch to cover the people on the couch tightly. He called the maid to serve and wash.

After washing up, the maid adjusted the dragon robe for His Majesty, Chi Ming said to the servant next to him: "Don't let anyone disturb him."

The servants knew who this "he" was. Last night, after the leader helped His Majesty into the bedroom, he never came out again. It was self-evident who was lying on the well-shielded dragon bed.

The waiter respectfully replied "Yes"

Last night, Yiying brought Chi Ming back to the dormitory, and Yingyi and Yinger went to inform Pei Ran, the commander of the imperial guards. Pei Ran then stopped and continued to search for His Majesty, and followed the guidance of the shadow guards to find the unconscious man. Shui Qinglian, after hearing the general story of the shadow guard, Pei Ran decided to temporarily detain Shui Qinglian and wait for His Majesty to deal with it.

It is very easy to deal with a court lady, but this court lady belongs to the Queen Mother, and Chi Ming cannot dispose of it by himself, so His Majesty rushed to Renshou Palace after the early court.

The Empress Dowager had been waiting impatiently in Renshou Palace for a long time. She had been worried about His Majesty's safety since she knew nothing about what happened last night. After seeing that His Majesty was safe and sound, the Empress Dowager was finally relieved.

"Mother, don't worry, my son is really fine."

Chi Ming helped the Queen Mother to sit on the small couch: "It's just that Shui Qinglian can't stay any longer, I hope the Queen Mother will understand."

The queen mother was shocked: "She really..."

Chi Ming nodded: "Yesterday, Erchen almost fell for her trick. Thanks to Yi who arrived in time, she dared to drug me enough to kill her a hundred times."

The queen mother was both distressed and sad: "Aijia has warned her long ago, why is she still so confused."

Shui Qinglian has been with the Empress Dowager for many years, and Shui Qinglian, who has grown up a little, has ideas that she shouldn't have. Give it to His Majesty as a concubine, but the Queen Mother knew clearly that His Majesty would definitely not want Shui Qinglian.

The queen mother clearly rejected Shui Qinglian, promised to find her a good husband in the future, and ensured that she would have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. After that, the queen mother didn't take this matter to heart. Which woman in the palace doesn't want to be favored by the emperor? Phoenix, Shui Qinglian is not immune, so the Queen Mother understood and did not feel that Shui Qinglian was wrong, but Shui Qinglian did not listen to the Queen Mother's words at all, and insisted on doing things that touched Chi Ming's bottom line.

"This girl has bad intentions, and she doesn't deserve to be treated sincerely by the queen mother."

"Anyway, the Ai family watched her grow up, so Your Majesty will let her live."

Knowing that the empress dowager is soft-hearted, Chi Ming didn't want Shui Qinglian's life at all: "I drive her out of the palace."

"Send it to the bureau, she is a weak woman with no one to rely on outside the palace, if she leaves the palace, she will still have her life."

The Laundry Bureau is the place responsible for washing the clothes of the people in the palace, and it is also the most tiring job in the palace. It is good for people to suffer and learn a lesson.

Chi Ming sighed in his heart, and lamented that the queen mother was too kind, but seeing the queen mother was so sad, Chi Ming couldn't bear to refute anything, so he had to agree to the queen mother's proposal.

"Is the kid all right?"

"That child" refers to Yiying, of course.

"Don't worry, mother, it's all right."

The queen mother nodded: "You have to treat others well."

"It's the queen mother, the son knows."

Chi Ming used lunch at Renshou Palace to make up for the regret of not being able to dine with the Queen Mother yesterday. After that, he ordered the palace staff to tell Pei Ran to distribute the water to the Washing Bureau, and Chi Ming returned to his Qianming Palace.

As soon as he stepped into the hall, the waiter panicked and reported that the leader was kneeling on the ground and getting up.

Chi Ming's footsteps paused and he was very puzzled: "Why is he kneeling?"

"The slave doesn't know, the slave persuaded but the leader didn't listen."

"How long have you been kneeling?"

"I've been kneeling for two hours."

"No lunch?"

"No, the leader refused to have lunch."

Chi Ming frowned, and quickened his pace back to the bedroom, but the servants who were winking did not follow in, and stayed outside the hall.

In the sleeping hall, Yiying was still kneeling in an inconspicuous place in the black clothes, but Chi Ming still found him in Ruoda's hall at a glance.

Seeing people kneeling straight, and seeing that he still did not forget to salute, a nameless fire suddenly arose in his heart, and Chi Ming exhaled to forcefully suppress his anger.

"What are you doing kneeling?"

"The subordinate is guilty, please punish the master."

Chi Ming tried his best to look calm, and said in a flat tone, "What crime did you commit?"

"The first crime is that the subordinate failed to protect the master and put the master in danger. The second crime is that the subordinate should not stay in the master's dormitory and broke the rules. The second crime should be punished by the master."

This man seriously mentioned the so-called crimes, which was ridiculous to Chi Min's ears.

"Yesterday, what crime did you have for not being on duty? As for the second crime," Chi Ming paused for a moment before continuing, "I want you to stay in the palace, what else do you have to say?"

Yiying remained silent, although this was against the rules, but the master in the palace followed the rules, so naturally the master did what he said.

"Okay, get up, kneeling for so long is enough."

"Yes, I thank the master for forgiveness."

When I got up, I felt sore in my back, and I knelt for two hours, not to mention the hunger in my stomach. At this moment, Yiying felt that his legs were weak and almost knelt down again. Thanks to his stable foot, he didn't lose his composure. .

Seeing this, Chi Ming frowned fiercely again, and said: "Sit down", then turned and went out to order the maid to bring some light food.

When he came back again, he saw that the person had found a place to sit obediently, and Chi Ming's expression finally eased a little.

The two remained silent for a while until the maid brought food and put it on the table, and then they all retreated respectfully.

"Come and eat."

Speaking of which, Chi Ming took the lead to sit at the dining table, and Yiying responded slowly before coming and sitting next to the master.

Chi Ming had no appetite to eat after lunch, so he just watched Yiying eat alone.

"I assigned Shui Qinglian to the Xixi Bureau. I wanted to drive her out of the palace, but the Queen Mother is kind."

"Yes."

Being watched by the master all the time, Yiying was a little uncomfortable eating, and ate the meat porridge in the bowl in small bites, for fear of losing his composure.

"Go back and rest after eating, and be on duty after taking care of your body."

"Yes, thank you master."

After eating a meal, Yiying felt uncomfortable, not only psychologically, but also physically. He felt that he was about to fall apart and his whole body hurt badly. Almost fell asleep and fell asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Yiying had just finished breakfast when Shen Qiuchen came with his small medicine box.

"Put out your hand."

Yiying put his right hand on the pulse diagnosis pad that Shen Qiuchen put on the table according to his words, and Shen Qiuchen put two fingers together and pressed on Yiying's pulse, carefully feeling the beating of the pulse under the fingertips.

After cupping tea, Shen Qiuchen withdrew his hand: "He is in good health and has no symptoms."

Shen Qiuchen took out another box of ointment from the medicine box: "Use it on time, and you will recover sooner. Although you are in good health, you should also pay attention to rest."

"Thank you divine doctor."

Yiying took the medicine, and he would no longer be embarrassed by this matter in front of Shen Qiuchen. In the entire palace, except for the queen mother and the palace servants who served the master, only Shen Qiuchen knew about his relationship with the master.

"Thank you for talking to me, don't forget that the two of us have played together since we were young, hehe."

Shen Qiuchen was packing his small medicine box: "Okay, you have a good rest, I'm going to report to His Majesty."

After sending Shen Qiuchen away, Yiying went to the Shadow Guard Camp again. Although he was asked by his master to rest, he didn't do nothing completely. He had to personally inspect the shadow guards who were on duty every day when he wasn't by the master's side to protect him. Make sure, you have to go over the duty schedule of the shadow guards every day, and if there is something wrong, you can just change it directly, and you can rest assured that nothing will go wrong.

During the few days when Yiying was resting, not only Shen Qiuchen but also Gu Changqing came to his residence. Gu Changqing came here frequently, every time he teased Yiying and then left again. Yiying shook his head helplessly. What is this man here for?

The master asked him to stare at Gu Changqing. He didn't need to stare at him, and he jumped right under his nose. The shadow guards who were sent to Wanxia Palace didn't find anything suspicious. Yiying guessed that this person was either hiding something. Lu is good at disguising, or she is a complete fool.

A few days later, Yiying recovered and returned to the master's side to protect him. As in the past, he stood aside when the master was reviewing the memorial, occasionally refilling the cold tea for the master.

But this time he was absent-minded frequently, not because Yiying was distracted because of something in his mind, but for some reason, Yiying couldn't concentrate and always stared unconsciously, just like someone who has been sleepy for several days standing still. I can fall asleep even while I am standing.

"Yi, Yi..."

Yiying lost his mind again and immediately came back to his senses: "Master."

"I called you several times."

Chi Ming frowned, he could tell that Yiying was distracted, it was a big taboo for shadow guards to be distracted when on duty, how could Yi make such a superficial mistake.

Yiying panicked and knelt down: "Master, forgive me."

"What's wrong with you? Are you uncomfortable? Why is your face so bad?"

"The Shadow Guard's annual assessment is here, and the subordinates are probably busy with the Shadow Guard assessment, so they didn't pay attention to rest."

"If you are tired, I will give you a few more days off."

"It's all right, subordinate."

"Get up, I just told you about the flood in Yuzhou. The relief money allocated by the imperial court was no less than 30 silver. The situation of the refugees in Yuzhou has not improved at all. I really don't know what the local officials are doing for food!"

Most of today’s excerpts are about the disaster in Yuzhou. Due to floods in Yuzhou, many farms were flooded and the houses of the people were also washed away. Since the flood occurred, the imperial court immediately sent supplies and relief money to Yuzhou. Around 30 How could Chi Ming not be angry as the two pieces of silver seemed to float in the water without making a sound.

Yiying had heard about the flood situation in Yuzhou. It was not a very serious flood, but under the immediate relief of the imperial court, it went from bad to worse and did not improve at all. Officials are corrupted.

"30 taels of silver, how much will be left when we reach Yuzhou?"

Fatal question.

How could Chi Ming not have imagined that the 30 taels of silver would have been cut down layer by layer by corrupt officials long ago, and it was inevitable that corrupt officials had existed throughout the dynasties and dynasties, and the moths of these countries were often the most hateful.
