Wearing cannon fodder makes the master collapse

"Where did the foreigner come from, what is the purpose of sneaking around outside the palace?" The guard had a fierce expression on his face, wanting to use force.

Ye Lingjiang said, "Sneaky and sneaky, we galloped here on horseback and landed under the gate, how fair and above board."

The guard looked at him, wearing revealing clothes, dark purple makeup, extremely enchanting.

"Bold, the palace is important, how can people like you break into it? He can still say, like you, you are not a human, a ghost or a ghost."

Ye Lingjiang almost spouted out "he is more human than me"

Chu Yunchuan said indifferently, "Please go and report, just say that the person who unveiled the imperial list last time wants to visit the palace."

"Royal List"

"It's true, but it doesn't seem to be you that day." Another person followed up with puzzled eyes, but after looking at it, it seemed that they were somewhat similar.

"We just came from the western region, the custom there is to dress us like this, and we can't wash it off in a short time, otherwise we will get the disaster curse. Since the two big brothers have an impression of the imperial list, we should remember that we followed the palace The imperial guards came together, and they were riding the red rabbit raised in the palace, and there were two others, all dressed in white."

"Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the one I told you about was very good-looking." The guard behind him winked at the one before him.

"Oh that, don't you still want to cough?" He realized that he was about to say something wrong, and changed his words, "The last thing has been successfully completed, why do you want to enter the palace again?"

Ye Lingjiang had nothing to make up right now, since Chu Yunchuan was coming, so he was the one to explain why.

The devil-like Chu Yunchuan also pretended to be profound, saying, "Looking at the sky these days and nights, the stars are in chaos, and the dark place refers to this place, so there may be a catastrophe in the near future. If you stand by and watch, you will be a sinner through the ages." "

""

Ye Lingjiang really wanted to say that there were not many stars at night these days.

But the two people gathered around, with horror and admiration on their faces, "Really, a real person, it will bring disaster to us, how can we solve it?"

Chu Yunchuan closed his eyes and said, "The secret must not be revealed."

"It's no wonder that when I went back recently, my wife always said that my spirit was not good, and she always looked tired. Could it be that she has been involved?"

"Didn't you say last time that your wife went out with Brother Wang next door, and she couldn't stand on her feet when she came back? Wouldn't it be bewitched?"

Ye Lingjiang ""

"When we enter the palace, report the matter to the emperor, and then solve it in our own way, and everyone can live in peace."

The two of them thought, since the emperor issued the emperor's list last time to recruit people, he must also believe in the ghosts and gods, otherwise it would not be like that these few days.

"Recently, the emperor is really not in good spirits. I heard from a relative in my palace that he has trapped himself in the alchemy room of the Hall of Eternal Life all day long. Together with Concubine Xia, he seems to be refining some kind of elixir of life."

"You can't talk nonsense with these words, be careful with your head," another person reminded him.

"Let's report now." If he could find a good solution for the emperor, he might even get a big reward, so he hurried there.

After the people left, Ye Lingjiang turned around and asked Chu Yunchuan in a low voice, "What are you doing, why did you come to the palace?"

"Because it's safe."

"The Safe Palace is indeed safe, but it was a special situation last time. You really think we can stay in this palace this time, but it's not an inn. Even if they are relatives of the emperor, it's not good for men to live in the harem."

Chu Yunchuan smiled softly, "For the king, there is no distinction between men and women in the world, there are only those who are useful and those who are useless. Originally, I wanted to find an excuse to stay here and listen to what those two people said just now. , it seems that there is no need to waste this effort."

What he said made people feel too mean, but it was the truth.

The one you don't love can be a concubine, and the one you like can be a pet. As long as the emperor wants to, he can do it, and it cannot be resisted.

But Ye Lingjiang didn't understand "Why did a young and promising emperor start pursuing immortality?"

Chu Yunchuan raised his eyes and looked up at the sky, as if he had something in his heart, "Because of being reluctant to part with the supreme power and endless glory and wealth, greed makes them dream of longevity even more. The ancients did not hesitate to search the East China Sea and spend a lot of money. It’s a drop in the bucket, but still, many people feel that they can do it and become the lucky one.”

Ye Lingjiang seemed to feel a trace of sadness at his words.

Spend your life chasing something that is obviously impossible to get

Is it really okay to deceive yourself and others to the point of blinding your own heart?

After they waited for half an hour, someone suddenly uttered a voice from the side door. Turning their heads, they saw that it was an eunuch. After thinking about it, it seemed to be Eunuch Huang who was beside the emperor.

"Yo, real people, what are you dressed up for?"

Seeing his surprised and novel expression, Ye Lingjiang explained again.

"It turns out that real people travel all over the world to benefit the common people. They even go to dangerous places full of poisonous and miasma. The emperor said that he must welcome the two of you well. He is waiting in the Hall of Longevity. Please, both of you." Set off and follow me all the way. As for the horse, leave it outside and let them watch."

Sure enough, all eunuchs who are prominent and respectable in front of the imperial court can speak, Ye Lingjiang and the others followed him into the long way through the side door.

"Eunuch Huang, it hasn't been long yet. How come the emperor has another beloved Concubine Xia whom I haven't heard of before." Ye Lingjiang said deliberately.

"This guard is really talkative." Eunuch Huang guessed that it was the two guards with big mouths outside the gate, but he didn't think there was anything wrong, and Ben would have a chance to see it later, "Since the real people left last time, the emperor has Deeply influenced, I began to delve into the principles of Taoism, and there was a noble person in the palace who was also well versed in these things. By chance, he was known by the emperor, and he had a great talk overnight, and then he was favored. It is also because of this Madam, the emperor will start to find someone to make alchemy, and now it is more than half of the refining, just now I heard someone report that the last time a real person with profound Taoism came, the emperor was very happy, but I heard you said there is a vision in the sky There is no time to delay and let the servants come to welcome you."

"The empress in the palace actually understands these things"

The well-known ladies in Zhongjing are either piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, or embroidery workers. If you learn these things, you will probably be regarded as a different kind.

"You two don't know something. Not only does this empress know something wrong, she was not favored at all earlier, and her attitude towards the emperor was also indifferent, but then she suddenly changed directions, and I don't know why. During this period of time In order to make alchemy, the emperor asked people to find many quack masters, many of whom were recommended by the concubine Xia, and sent people to find those strange herbs, so they forgot to sleep and eat, and have not cared about the affairs of the court for many days. There are already complaints."

"Listening to what my father-in-law said, it seems that I also feel that it is inappropriate to do so."

Eunuch Huang twisted his orchid fingers and waved his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't say that, how dare a slave. The emperor's idea is holy, and it is great that Concubine Xia can make the emperor happy."

Ye Lingjiang knew very well, this concubine Xia sounds like a concubine Yao, it was enough to serve the emperor well in the past, but now she has to look at her eyes, and she can't disobey the slightest bit, otherwise she will definitely be angered, Eunuch Huang She definitely doesn't like it, but she has a way to make the emperor obsessed with these things, and it's also because the emperor himself has a desire for longevity, and the ten days and a half months must be hard to get rid of.

The exorcism charm left in the palace when he left last time was still attached to every palace, so that it was impossible for Bai San or other monsters to come again, but there was only one palace that was not attached. He remembered that at that time Chu Yunchuan kept enough.

"Why is there no yellow talisman on the gate of Bixia Palace?"

Eunuch Huang raised his head when he heard the words, it turned out that he had come here unknowingly.

"Now let's continue talking about that empress. Concubine Xia said that the emperor is ninety-five supreme, and his masculinity is strong. Those demons will be overwhelmed by fear when they see the emperor. As long as the emperor can come every day, Bixia Palace There is no need for this superfluous thing, the emperor was naturally happy when he heard that, so he asked someone to tear up the paper yellow talisman, and stayed in Bixia Palace every night from then on."

Ye Lingjiang couldn't help feeling, "This Concubine Xia is quite powerful."

"You two will be able to see it here. The Palace of Longevity is not far from the Bixia Palace. It is just for convenience. The slave just said that it is far less than seeing the real body."

Chu Yunchuan didn't say a word along the way, probably thinking how to fool the emperor into keeping them to stay for a few days, but he looked at the palace with a hesitant and dignified expression.

"That's it."

The main hall in front of me is as magnificent as the Golden Luan Hall, with the words "Eternal Life Hall" written on the carved gold plaque. It seems that the gold lacquer is still used, but the pursuit of Tao should be based on sincerity rather than these superficial airs.

"Let the servant go in and report."

"Please, Eunuch Huang."

After a while, I heard the people inside proclaiming "Two real people enter the palace"

At this time, a young eunuch came out, bowed his head and said, "Please come with the servant."

They followed in and saw a woman sitting on the emperor's lap, chanting and smiling.

"Two are here"

He didn't seem surprised by the way they were dressed, it should be that Eunuch Huang had already greeted them in advance.

Only these days, the emperor seemed to be a different person, with a gloomy expression, a smile that couldn't fit his mouth, the hall was filled with the smell of wine, there were many precious brushes and inks thrown under the seat, some famous paintings were all torn to the ground, and there were a few songs. The dancer Ji danced with the silk and bamboo orchestra, lit a hundred palace lanterns, and turned the night into day and day, comparable to Shang Zhou's wine pool and meat forest.

Logically speaking, doesn't he like Li Yao?

On a normal day, seeing this situation, Ye Lingjiang must have thought it was a monster making trouble, but he didn't smell any monster energy.

"See Your Majesty."

He thought that he would still kneel when he saw him, and was secretly pulling Chu Yunchuan to kneel together, when the woman sitting on the emperor's lap turned around at this moment.

"Hehe, why do real people pay more respect to the emperor and devote themselves to practicing Taoism, respecting the world's masters of Taoism, I will not make you kneel down."

Ye Lingjiang and Chu Yunchuan were startled at the same time.

The woman was dressed in a rosy robe, her makeup was light but still soft, her forehead was painted with scarlet flowers, gold and jade earrings hung on both sides, her red lips were neatly painted, her complexion was clear, her eyebrows were like willows, her black hair was like clouds, and a stick was inserted obliquely in her bun. The hollowed-out gold hairpin is decorated with dots of purple jade, and the tassels are sprinkled on the green silk, with spring water in every frown and smile.

It looked like it had never been seen before.

But she is none other than the second miss of the Qin family, Qin Chan.
