The sound of weapons colliding sounded, and two rows of guards hurried past.

At the corner of the wall, a thief in night clothes poked his head out quietly and staggered.He looked around keenly, seeing that no one noticed, he immediately raised his breath and jumped up.

There is a saying that it is dark under the lights. In other words, the most dangerous place is the safest place.

In order to avoid the pursuit of the guards of the palace, the injured thief crossed the sky silently sideways, taking advantage of the empty security of the palace, several ups and downs disappeared in the backyard.

"Where is this?"

The toes landed lightly, and he had time to look at the place where he was. However, after looking around, he couldn't help showing a look of astonishment.

A few steps away from him, he saw a simple thatched hut standing by the artificially landscaped lake in the dim night, and the lanterns hanging from the eaves were emitting an orange light.

"The golden dog's mansion is really strange. They actually built a thatched cottage in the backyard? Could it be that they want to experience folk life?"

The thief was talking to himself, and then he sneered as soon as the words came out.

At this moment, the door of the thatched hut opened with a creak, and the woman in brocade clothes pushed the door out, unexpectedly seeing the thief's face, she was startled at first.

At this time, the sky was bright and the sun was rising.The thief did not cover his face, and the woman immediately recognized the familiar figure.

"Daoist Qiu?"

"Madam Yang?"

The thief was also surprised and blurted out.

"How did you get hurt?"

"How could you be in the golden dog's palace?"

The two asked in unison, but they were stunned at the same time.

The sound of orderly footsteps outside the courtyard, Bao Xiruo looked nervously at the courtyard wall of the high gate, and hurriedly said, "The Taoist priest will follow me first."

Qiu Chuji hesitated for a moment, clutched his wound and shook his whisk, followed by him into the thatched hut.

***

The guards, who searched for nothing, returned to the palace at dawn.

"Lost it?" Can a badly injured thief also be lost? "

Hearing the return from the guards, Wanyan Honglie was so angry that he smashed the desk with his palm. The guards kneeling on the ground shrank their heads and tried their best to reduce their sense of existence, for fear that Wanyan Honglie would drag him out and chop him up in anger. .

"In my subordinate's opinion, it is better to seal the city gate and send troops to search for the assassin from house to house, so that he cannot escape."

The guard rolled his eyes and suggested in a low voice.

Wanyan Honglie said coldly: "So mobilizing teachers and mobilizing people, do you think that the news about the thief in the palace is too small? Or do you think that the thief's fabricated nonsense can't be spread?"

When Wanyan Honglie thought of being treated as a flower picker, he felt disgraced and annoyed.Although he issued a gag order, it was hard not to attract the attention of others.

More importantly, the place where the thief stayed was in the backyard, and it was also Li Qing's residence. If this matter got out, how could Qing'er still have a reputation?It is unavoidable that people will make up some fascinating things out of nothing, this is absolutely not allowed by Wanyan Honglie.

"..." The guard lowered his head in panic, "This subordinate is not thinking well, please punish me, my lord."

Wanyan Honglie grimaced: "You should be punished." After a pause, he said, "Go to the execution hall to receive the punishment."

Hearing this, the guard felt a little relieved, although he couldn't avoid the board, but he managed to save his life, he respectfully and humbly replied yes, and quickly retreated.

"The guards in this mansion are too lax." Not only did they call a quack into the inner courtyard of the mansion without noticing it, but even the thieves ran away without a trace when so many people were mobilized. Are all the people just eating? !

If all the people in Jianghu could come and go as freely as that thief, wouldn't he let the majesty of King Zhao be swept away?

Wanyan Honglie's face was gloomy, the air pressure in his body was extremely low, like the calm before the storm, his eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Come on!"

"What are your orders from the lord?"

The doorman ran in and knelt down to wait for orders.

Wanyan Honglie paced back and forth with a solemn expression, like a headless chicken, the ground was almost worn off by his heavy steps.

"Pass down the order to ask the guards in the mansion to strengthen their defenses and patrol day and night in a group of 20 people. If such thieves break in again without realizing it, they will be severely punished."

The boy was so ordered that he ran out to spread the word.

"The Qingyi Pavilion is no longer suitable for people to live in." Wanyan Honglie was particularly dissatisfied, he turned his head to look at the chief envoy who was standing quietly at the side: "You make arrangements to move the concubine into a courtyard, and when she wakes up moved to..."

Wanyan Honglie thought about it, and checked all the empty courtyards and attics in the mansion. He felt unsafe everywhere, and frowned for a moment.

If it is said that the safest and most heavily guarded place in this mansion is the Qingzheng Hall in the main courtyard where he lives, apart from the Wangfei Huichun Courtyard which is separated from him.

Wanyan Honglie hadn't thought about moving Li Qing to Bao Xiruo's courtyard, so he quickly made a decision.

"Go back and pack up Concubine Li Shu and let her move to the main courtyard of the Qingzheng Hall."

The chief made waves in his heart, he was astonished.

The Qingzheng Hall is divided into the main courtyard and two side rooms.The main courtyard is where the prince lives and sleeps on his back, and the room in the northeast of the side room is the study room for the prince to work and discuss, while the side room in the southwest is connected to the outer courtyard partition wall, and it is temporarily vacant.

The prince arranged Concubine Li Shu to the main courtyard, wouldn't he sleep and sit with the prince, no different from the folk couples, even the concubine in the mansion didn't have this treatment!

It turned out that he was blind. He never thought that Concubine Li Shu, who was neglected and grounded that day, had such great ability, and the latecomer asked the prince to be willing to eat and live with her, and face each other day and night?

"One more thing."

Wanyan Honglie added, "When Concubine Shu wakes up, ask the doctor to give her a safe pulse."

The ambassador was surprised again when he heard the words.

How about a safe pulse please?Is it possible...

Just as he was thinking, a young man ran in from outside the door.

"My lord, the concubine Yuan sent a message to invite my lord to enter the palace."

Wanyan Honglie was slightly stunned, his complexion was slightly gloomy, even if he thought about it with his toes, he knew that the previous incident must have reached Concubine Yuan's ears.

This time it is impossible not to go.

"lead the way."

Wanyan Honglie didn't delay, and strode out.

The chief eunuch sent by Concubine Yuan to pass the message glanced at Wanyan Honglie's ugly face, his lips moved slightly, and a voice sounded like mosquitoes in Wanyan Honglie's ears: "My lord stayed overnight in Jinhua Palace last night."

This is to remind him that Jin Zhangzong is also there.

"Thank you."

Wanyan Honglie said softly, he didn't need to think too much, he knew that today must be the scene of three trials.

Sure enough, as soon as he stepped into the Jinhua Palace, Concubine Yuan couldn't hold back her itchy hands, she flew down in front of Jin Zhangzong who was sitting at the head, and pinched Wanyan Honglie's ear with her hand, like Cursing like a shrew, she completely lost the elegance of a concubine.

"A majestic prince was treated as a flower picker by an assassin in his own mansion, Wanyan Telin, you are really promising!"

"..."

Wanyan Honglie's face was sullen, he didn't justify or struggle, and the furious Concubine Yuan pointed at his nose and scolded him severely.

"You are really an eye-opener for me! What's the matter? You clamored not to give it to you, but turned around and slept with a woman behind your back. Is it particularly exciting to have an affair, or is it because you have reached the rebellious period and you like to fight against your mother and concubine?"

"Cough cough," Jin Zhangzong, who was still sitting quietly at the top, stared dumbfounded at the concubine Yuan whore cursing the street. He swallowed back the scolding that had come to his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel a little novelty in his astonishment.

Wanyan Honglie's ugly face made him even more sympathetic.He pretended to cough a few times, and smoothed things over, "Okay, okay. Concubine Ai, don't worry, at Lao Liu's age, you can save some face for him."

"Okay, the concubine will save face for him, who will save face for the concubine?" Concubine Yuan withdrew her hand reluctantly, "I really owed you in my previous life, so I gave birth to you as a debt collector!"

Jin Zhangzong coaxed softly: "Children are debts, and it has been like this since ancient times."

Jin Zhangzong has a deep understanding of these words.Seeing several sons get married and start a business, the heirs under their knees jumped out one by one, and the cuteness of the elves has long since disappeared. Those grown-up sons always think about the stool under his buttocks, which is similar to Chaozhong's thought. The ministers who want to fight for a slave in Longzhi colluded with each other, and asked for the crown prince several times.

Jin Zhangzong was upright and at the peak of his age, how could he allow others to snore and sleep beside his bed, how could he allow people who coveted the chair under his buttocks?

Although the sixth child is a bit of a mess in matters of men and women, compared with those few rebellious and unfilial sons, this issue of personal morality is nothing at all.After all, if you are the heir of the royal family, if you want to play affectionate without regrets, if you want to try some sadomasochistic stand-in scenes with concubines, that's not a problem, who doesn't have any hobbies?

"Your Majesty, just get used to him." Concubine Yuan said angrily. With Jin Zhangzong making peace, she couldn't hold back, so she had to change the subject and said, "Let's not mention this matter for now, what are you going to do?" Deal with that concubine in your mansion?"

Wanyan Honglie frowned slightly.

What does it mean to dispose of it?His love has never gone wrong, how can he deal with it?

"Come on, don't say anything."

Seeing the way Wanyan Honglie frowned, Concubine Yuan couldn't get angry, and the old headache happened again.

"Look, I'm so confused that I actually expected to say good things from you. You, King Zhao, are so powerful. If you treat a decent concubine as an outsider, then Mrs. Li is useless. Fortunately, I didn't make a sound for a long time, but I didn't make a fuss. I don't know whether to say that she doesn't seek fame and fortune, or call her a cowardly and stupid woman! Doesn't she worry that one day people will die? , who is clearly pregnant with the orthodox emperor's grandson, but is treated as a bastard of unknown origin?"

Just thinking of this possibility, Concubine Yuan was so angry that her heart ached.

It's really strange, that Mrs. Li has a big picture in Jinhua Palace, so she can't wait to see that the elder sage's demeanor doesn't look like a person who is willing to mess around with the sixth child.

It's not like she was blind, right?

"No, it doesn't matter how unreliable you two want to mess around. If the future grandson of the palace is wronged, it is absolutely impossible."

Concubine Yuan is worthy of being Wanyan Honglie's biological mother, both of them have the same brain circuit.

"Mother..."

Wanyan Honglie was caught off guard by Concubine Yuan's soliloquy, took a deep breath, and felt overwhelmed.

He also regretted it a long time ago, but there are some things that there is no turning back.The first acquaintance was due to a drunken gaffe, but if you said you didn't like it, why would you go there again and again?

Wanyan Honglie also admitted that his actions were indeed inappropriate. Last night, he was thinking about ordering the doctor to diagnose Li's pulse. After realizing what was wrong, he would not let his own flesh and blood be wronged. As for the matter, he also had plans to enter the palace to ask for an imperial decree.

However, before he could open his mouth, he heard Jin Zhangzong interjected: "Lao Liu, you really do not behave properly."

Compared with Concubine Yuan's resentment of her son's anger at Li Qing, Jin Zhangzong could see clearly that the cause of this incident was all due to Wanyan Honglie.

For example, if Jin Zhangzong had the honor of a palace lady on a whim, but he didn't allow the palace lady to tell the story, who would dare to yell loudly that he was slept by the emperor?The concubine concubine was favored, if there was no order from the sixth child, how could she be so silent?

It's just that the sixth child is good, if he doesn't like the concubine concubine, how can he pamper her again and again, but let a thief break it.What's even more ridiculous is that in his own mansion, he was treated as a fellow who steals incense and jade by a thief!

When the news reached Jin Zhangzong's ears, he wondered if he had heard it wrong.

Absurd!Where is the face of the royal family?Where is the majesty?

If you say you like it, how can you do it like this?It's not a shameful thing, so why sneak around behind people's backs?

I heard that the sixth son loved his widow and concubine who was born in the common people to death, but it was a pity that Luo Hua had feelings, but the widow was only thinking about the former one.

The sixth child could not be sure, so he used the concubine concubine as a stand-in, and found a place to relieve his boredom when he got angry with the concubine.He spoiled his concubines, but turned around and was worried that he would make the princess jealous, so he was careful to hide it from everyone, and asked the concubine to compromise.

Jin Zhangzong made up a series of stories about I don't love you, I love her, but I'm greedy for your body.

Jin Zhangzong is quite tolerant of this loving son, but it doesn't mean that he will tolerate a woman climbing on the head of the sixth son to do his best.How can a royal heir be controlled by a woman?

"My son is at fault."

Wanyan Honglie didn't know that his own father had a horse racing plot in his head, so he simply lifted his robe and knelt down to admit his mistake.

He now regrets his impulsive actions.However, there is no turning back when starting work?

He opened his mouth, and was about to admit his mistake, but he heard Jin Zhangzong said: "Since you know your mistake, you should repent."

Seeing that he was knowledgeable and interesting, Jin Zhangzong calmed down, "The Li family in your mansion was bestowed by your mother and concubine after all. If you don't look at the monk's face and the Buddha's face, how can you wrong her like this?"

Wanyan Honglie was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly Jin Zhangzong would say this, his heart moved slightly, and his brows were beaming with joy.

This proposal simply hit his mind.

Thoughts flashed through Wanyan Honglie's mouth and his brain was almost overwhelmed, and he said: "What the father said is true, it is true that the son did not do things well, I beg the father to give advice."

Concubine Yuan saw that he was not forceful to talk back to Jin Zhangzong, so her tense expression eased a bit. Fortunately, her son did not lose his head, and his reason was still there.

Jin Zhangzong nodded, with helplessness and complacency in his eyes. This son is unreliable and lacks experience in matters of men and women.

"Since that's the case, then this matter is up to me." As he said that, he looked at the eunuch who was in charge of his body, "I pass on my imperial decree, Mrs. Li is humble and respectful, and promoted to the side concubine of King Zhao."

The joy in Wanyan Honglie's eyes was fleeting, he knelt down and kowtowed and said: "Your minister is responsible for the decree, my son's actions are not thorough, I have troubled my father, and I also thank my father for your kindness on behalf of Li."

Jin Zhangzong stroked his beard and nodded in satisfaction.

"Since you know your mistake, you should confess your mistake to your concubine mother. She has worried a lot about you."

A guilty look appeared on Wanyan Honglie's face, his Adam's apple rolled, and his mood was very complicated.

Qing'er was bestowed on him by his mother and concubine herself, and now he is very fond of him, if he had known about this, how could he have had trouble with Concubine Yuan in the first place?

The world is really unpredictable.

But there was nothing to do, the beating and scolding was not wronged.

Turning his thoughts around, he couldn't help showing a bit of embarrassment on his face.Wanyan Honglie turned to the sullen concubine Yuan, bowed again and bowed, "The people bestowed by the concubine mother are naturally excellent, and my ministers have troubled my concubine mother, it is my ministers who are not filial. Turning around, my ministers brought Mrs. Li into the house." Please greet you from the palace."

Seeing him take the initiative to subdue, Concubine Yuan also relieved her expression.

"As long as you know."

After all, this son is not hopeless.
