Your majesty, please stay in the cold palace

The person behind the pillar didn't move. Guo Heng thought he was dazzled at first, but when he was about to turn around, he saw a corner of his clothes being blown up by the wind.

"I have seen you, you'd better come out immediately, otherwise..."

Guo Heng has been in the top position for a long time. Although he is young, his voice is full of oppression.He just stood there quietly, which would make people fearful.

The person behind the pillar seemed to know that he couldn't escape, so he stood up hesitantly.

"Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Seeing that the kneeling person was dressed as a guard, Guo Heng felt relieved.Shen Sheng said: "I said, why are you here without anyone to accompany you?"

?,,

The visitor lowered his head, "Please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"Okay, get up. I'm going back too."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Guo Heng turned around to leave, and asked casually, "What's your name?"

"The humble flying tiger guards Yu Qi."

"Oh? You are Yu Qi?"

Guo Heng's raised foot stopped again, and turned to look at Yu Qi.I saw that he was of medium height and thin, with his head slightly lowered, standing respectfully.

"You look up."

"say,,

疋.

Yu Qi seemed a little puzzled and hesitated, but he still raised his head.Glancing at the emperor, he immediately lowered himself slightly

Guo Heng looked at the person in front of him, his face was thin and dark, with a short beard under his chin, but his eyes were extremely bright.This person seems familiar!But where have I seen it?

Of course he looked familiar to Yu Qi, because this Yu Qi was exactly Xu Chengze in disguise.He asked Yi Na to borrow a set of guard clothes from Yu Qi, and even dressed up in disguise.He had his face blackened, his eyebrows drawn thicker, and his chin glued on a beard.He was originally a man, so he believed that anyone who saw him would not think of the noble concubine in the palace.

He disguised himself tonight, and he was going to see Guo Heng.He thought, as a noble concubine, he could not interfere in internal affairs. If he was a bodyguard, could he approach the emperor and relieve his worries?

He knew that Guo Heng stayed in Chonghua Palace most of the night, and wanted to go to Chonghua Palace to try his luck, but he got lost while walking.Although he was Guo Heng's companion before the age of nine, he was no stranger to the palace, but after all, ten years had passed, and it was night, and he had to try his best to avoid encountering guards, so he couldn't find his way when he was walking. up.

He was amazed at how he got to the Taiye pool, but he saw Guo Heng who was in a daze.He hesitated whether to speak out, but Guo Heng found his whereabouts.

Although he believed that his appearance had changed a lot, Guo Heng would not recognize him, but just in case, he was still cautious and did not dare to raise his head.

At this time, when Guo Heng asked him to raise his head, he could only quickly raise his head for Guo Heng to take a look, and then lowered it again.

Although Guo Heng felt that Yu Qi in front of him looked familiar, but he was relieved thinking that he was a guard in the palace, and he had seen him before.

"Yu Qi, how did you know Ning Guifei?"

Xu Chengze was startled, and immediately realized that by asking Guo Heng, he knew that he was looking for Yu Qi to buy things in the palace, but he knew about it, but he didn't ask himself, and he didn't interfere, this was a tacit consent mean?No wonder Yu Qi brought things to Meifang Garden again and again, but they were not found.In fact, it's not that he was not discovered, but that Guo Heng was letting him go^

The guards colluded with the noble concubine in the palace, no matter whether the two were innocent or not, it was a serious crime of beheading.Guo Heng let him go so easily, Xu Chengze was surprised and admired.

He quickly knelt down, "Yu Qi thanked the emperor for not killing him."

Guo Heng squinted his eyes, and said calmly: "Since you know you are guilty, then tell me why! Don't try to fool me, if there is a sentence that is not true, not only you, but even Concubine Ning, I will not forgive you! "

"say,,

疋.

Xu Chengze quickly thought up his words, "Don't lie to the emperor. I am a disciple of Yunmen Mountain. Before entering the palace, my uncle told me that if I meet someone who holds a Yunmen mountain card, no matter who it is, I will Do your best to help them. Although humble officials entered the palace, but still

It is a disciple of Yunmen Mountain, the maid of the imperial concubine found a humble position, and asked the humble position to help them. Although the humble position knew that it was a capital crime of beheading, but the teacher's order is hard to break, and I hope the emperor will forgive me.What's more, what they want to do is to buy some meat and vegetables, so that they don't endanger the country, so the humble agreed. "

Cloud Gate Mountain?The name seems familiar.Guo Heng pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you heard of Xu Chengwu's name?"

When Xu Chengze suddenly heard his second brother's name, his heart felt like a knife, but he could only restrain his emotions.He hung his head lower, for fear that Guo Heng would see the strangeness on his face.

"I've heard that he is the second son of General Xu, a registered disciple of Yunmen Mountain, and he has learned the true story of Yunmen Mountain with all his kung fu. He once made great achievements in the battle with Jinyue Kingdom. It's a pity... Passing away is heartbreaking.”

Having said this, Xu Chengze couldn't continue.

When Guo Heng mentioned Xu Chengwu, he naturally thought of Xu Chengze, and he didn't feel well, and he didn't have the mood to ask any more questions.

"I believe you for now, get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"You mean Concubine Ning Gui has the token of Yunmen Mountain in her hand?"

"Xiaozhi is not sure that the token is in the hands of the imperial concubine. It is her maid Yi Na who came to find Xizhi."

Guo Heng was still puzzled, "Concubine Ning Gui came all the way from Southern Xinjiang, and her maids are also from Southern Xinjiang who have been with her for many years. How could they have your token from Yunmen Mountain?"

"I don't know about the lowly position. However, Uncle Yu often travels around the world. He met Concubine Ning Gui and gave her a token. It is not known.

"

Guo Heng stared at Yu Qi in front of him, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, with a faint sadness on his face, but he was not nervous, as if he was lying.

He said lightly: "It seems that I can only wait for me to ask Concubine Ning."

Xu Chengze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the emperor believed it.He is not afraid of him confronting Concubine Ning, he is Concubine Ning herself!

"Your Majesty, have you recovered from your illness? It's so late, why are you here?"

Guo Heng looked at the person in front of him and asked cautiously, but there was deep concern in his words.Feeling soft in his heart, he couldn't help but sighed quietly, and said in a low voice: "I can't sleep, so I'll come out for a walk."

"What's on the emperor's mind, can you tell the humble official? Although the humble official is dull, he also wants to share the emperor's worries."

Guo Heng looked at Yu Qi, who had never seen him before, but for some reason gave him a sense of intimacy.Maybe it was because of the concern in his eyes, or maybe it was because he was too fragile tonight.

"What worries me is naturally the affairs of the court."

After Guo Heng only said this sentence, he stopped talking and just looked at Taiyechi in a daze.Just when Xu Chengze thought he couldn't speak, Guo Heng quietly opened his mouth.

"When I was the prince, I thought that I had seen all the affairs in the court. I thought that when I became the emperor, I would criticize the evils of the current situation, deceive the intrigues in the court, deceive the upper and lower, and rectify them neatly. Those who should be promoted should be promoted, and those who should be demoted should be demoted, but now that I am the emperor, I know who are villains and who are traitors, but I can only watch them continue to occupy the court, powerless."

Seeing the helplessness on his tired face, Xu Chengze felt pain in his heart.

"Your Majesty, have you thought about the reason?"

"Of course I have thought about it!" Guo Heng suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Chengze, with a hint of anger in his tone, "I know that the affairs of the court and China are controlled by the Grand Master's party. I can't carry it through, I tried to reduce his power and influence several times, but he has been in the court for decades, and most of the ministers in the court have complicated relationships with him, it is really difficult for me to move him!"

"If you can't move, why not use him?"

"Using him? Why didn't I think about it? After all, he is an old minister in the court and the father of my empress. If he can serve me wholeheartedly, I don't think I can tolerate others. But, he is too greedy! Do you know , he is now the Grand Master and the Marquis of An, but he still wants me to make him the King of An, let his son be the crown prince Shaobao, and Ruier's teacher. His son is only in his early twenties, and he is a rich man. To be my son's teacher? I have given him a third-rank official for his face, yet he still wants to make an inch of it! Hmph! He is really ambitious! Don't say that Daliang has never been named king of the opposite sex, just talk about the things he did, Why should I make him king?"

Although Guo Heng restrained his emotions, his tone had already leaked his anger.

Xu Chengze remained silent, he didn't know much about the affairs of the court, but how could he not know what Yan Zheng did?Not to mention anything else, his Xu family was beheaded by the whole family ten years ago, Yan Zheng is absolutely inseparable!

Thinking of this, Xu Chengze decided to add more fuel to the angry Guo Heng.

"What the emperor said is true. People's desires are unlimited, and a minister should not be insatiable. With this move by the grand master, isn't he afraid of the words of the people all over the world?"

"Heh!" Guo Heng sneered, "In his heart, I am nothing, so what are common people?"

Guo Heng was silent for a moment, maybe felt that what he said was too straightforward, and then eased his tone, "Perhaps, it is because I am too impatient, and everything should be done slowly."

After a while, Xu Chengze spoke slowly, "Your Majesty, you must have seen clearly the grand master's heart. Now the queen has no heirs, if she does, what do you think the grand master will do?"

Guo Heng suddenly looked at him with a stern expression, "What do you mean by that?"

Xu Chengze smiled faintly, "What do you mean? With the emperor's intelligence, do you really not understand?"

Guo Heng's heart trembled, why didn't he understand, but this guard, how could he...

"Do you know that with just your words, I can punish you?"

Guo Heng's voice was cold and his aura was fully open, the air around the two of them seemed to be stagnant.

Xu Chengze didn't change his expression, he still looked at Guo Heng with a smile.

"If the emperor punishes the crime of the humble official, the humble official is willing to accept the crime. It's just that the humble official wants to take the crime and make meritorious service."

"Did crime and meritorious deeds?" Guo Heng raised the corners of his mouth, with a sarcastic smile on his face, "What merit do you want to make?"

Xu Chengze put away the smile on his face, and said sternly: "The emperor is employing people at this time, if the crime of inferiority is punished with a few words of inferiority, there will be fewer and fewer people available around the emperor, right?"

Guo Heng sneered, "I have a full court of civil and military affairs, why is there no one available?"

"Then why is the emperor bothered?"

"You!" Guo Heng was anxious, "Come here! Take this..."

Xu Chengze interrupted him, "Your Majesty, a humble position can help you. It only takes one year to make someone available to the Emperor." Guo Heng narrowed his eyes, "One year? Why do you?"

Xu Chengze smiled lightly, straightened his waist, as if he had a plan in mind, "Your Majesty, with a lowly position, you have a lot in your chest."

"Hahaha...cough cough cough..." Guo Heng suddenly laughed, and then coughed suddenly.

"emperor!"

Seeing him coughing and bending over, Xu Chengze couldn't breathe, and then remembered that he was still seriously ill, so he hurriedly stepped forward to give him a hand, "Your Majesty, you are still ill, how can you blow the cold wind here? I'll take you back now. Is Eunuch Shuiyun there? Do you have cough medicine on you?"

"No... no one..."

"You, why don't you even bring someone with you!"

Xu Chengze was in a hurry, he didn't realize that his familiar words were too abrupt coming from a guard.But Guo Heng heard everything in his ears.He was full of doubts, but he couldn't open his mouth due to coughing.

Xu Chengze was in a moment of impatience just now, but he quickly returned to the tone of a guard.

"Your majesty, I will send you back here."

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps, followed by a familiar voice.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The slave, the slave is here!"

Shui Yun ran over from a distance panting, before she could catch her breath, she first put the coat in her hand on Guo Heng, and then took out a porcelain bottle from her arms, "Your Majesty, this is rock sugar pear soup, take a quick sip." , moisturize your throat."

Guo Heng grabbed the porcelain bottle and drank a couple of gulps to suppress the itching and dryness in his throat.

He drank all the rock sugar pear soup in the bottle, and then handed the bottle to Shuiyun, still a little out of breath.

"How did you come?"

Shui Yun hurriedly knelt down, "Your Majesty, it's not that the servants didn't obey your will, it's really that you are worried about your majesty's body. I hope the emperor will forgive you."

crime. "

When Guo Heng spoke again, the shortness of breath was gone.

"You are loyal to me, I know it well. Get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Shui Yun got up and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is still an hour to go to court, you should go back and sleep for a while!"

"Well. I'll go back now."

After Guo Heng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Xu Chengze, and said in a low voice: "Yu Qi, at this time tomorrow, I will wait for you here."

After speaking, he strode away.

Shui Yun glanced at Xu Chengze suspiciously, wondering in his heart, this guard has a very strange face, and he has never seen him before.Moreover, if he wasn't on duty, how could he be by the emperor's side?Why did the emperor call him Yu Qi?Is he following Yu Qi?

After walking a few steps, he looked back again, only to see that the guard was still standing there, staring blankly at them.He was very puzzled, but he couldn't speak, he could only follow the footsteps of the emperor.

It wasn't until Guo Heng was no longer in sight that Xu Chengze relaxed. Aside from being nervous, great excitement surged in his heart.The emperor said that he would come tomorrow, so that means he didn't doubt him, and wanted to listen to his plan?Very good!He should have thought of this way earlier!

Now that Guo Heng has recognized him, he has to make a good plan. The words have already been spoken, and Guo Heng must not be disappointed.

He turned to leave, but he heard someone shouting in a deep voice, "Who's there?"

Xu Chengze was startled, it was too late to escape, so he could only stand where he was.
