Should the soul

Tang Fang, who recovered his memory, never expected such a day.

He guarded his secret carefully, afraid of disturbing Zhou Yin, but when he was sure that Zhou Yin already knew his identity, at that moment he suddenly put everything aside—love whoever, even if the world is falling at this time Fell, he can't control it anymore!

Tang Fang closed his eyes forcefully, and kept stepping his feet to tighten his embrace. Zhou Yin bent slightly in accordance with his height, and wrapped his arms around his waist and kept tightening. Concealment, estrangement, all vanished into thin air, only the person in front of him survived life and death, single-handedly, which made him tremble.

All the officials of Taichang Temple were stunned by the sudden direction in front of them.

I saw the two people who had been quarreling with each other at the last moment suddenly hugged each other tightly as if they were parting from each other. Whether it is emotion, posture or strength, the hug is too rich and strong, so the onlookers who are watching from a distance feel quite logical when they are puzzled and frightened.

The 17-year-old "Kong Jie" is very thin and thin, but there is a sense of strength in his thinness, as if a peerless sword has been thrown straight into the arms of a mortal. The Duke hugged him vigorously, Then he "squeezed" back vigorously, stared at Taichang Temple for a long while, his eyes were wide open, and he was about to think about it, and then he slowly remembered that do not look at evil, do not listen to evil, oh my god, that is the Duke Lord, what the hell are they doing here?Human instinct, watching the excitement is not a big deal?

At this time, Han Mu also pulled away from the immersion in a daze, a little embarrassed, a little shy, and also a little inexplicably happy, and waved his hand, telling everyone to retreat and close the door, don't delay people's business here, just At this time, there was a sudden sound of footsteps outside.

"Greetings to the Duke."

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, everyone turned their heads, and their expressions couldn't help being solemn. They saw that the person's face was as white as snow, his eyes were long and narrow, his brows were thin and his lips were thin, and he was directly under the imperial eunuch Gao. The prisoner hurriedly came in person, and went straight into the Zhaixing Pavilion, as if he hadn't seen anything, he lowered his eyes and delivered an order in a low voice: "His Majesty's oral order, please come to the palace immediately."

Tang Fang, who had been so excited that he had forgotten himself, suddenly heard this voice, as if he had heard the elder brother Cha Gang in his previous life. He suddenly raised his head, and then hit Zhou Yin's chin with a "boom". , let go of each other, Zhou Yin closed his eyes and rubbed his chin in a hiss, then glanced away.

Ask politely: "Eunuch Gao, what's the matter?"

The father-in-law smiled, and only said: "The matter is very important. Please ask your majesty, my minister, it is inconvenient for me to answer. Also," his calm eyes turned to Tang Fang who was rubbing his head, and said with a smile, "My lord Orally, I also invite the noble family, Kong Jie, to enter the palace together."

·

Taichang Temple is located among hundreds of bureaucrats on the south side of the imperial city, and it is not that far from the imperial palace. It is within walking distance, and there is no need to ride a horse or a sedan chair, but Zhou Yin just stepped out of the gate of Taichang Temple, which immediately made people feel uncomfortable. Preparing the sedan chair, it can be seen that the Duke does not want to enter the palace at this time, his chest is in a mess, he has too many things to say, too many things to do, he just wants to drag the young people around him home, only It's a pity that the king's order is not waiting, and he has to go no matter how unwilling he is.

The carriage quickly rolled over, and the Duke of the State said "come up" to Tang Fang expressionlessly, blocking several questions for him that "it is not polite to ride with the Duke of the State". Neatly got into the car, the car curtain was lowered, and as soon as the prying eyes were blocked, Tang let go of his consciousness and took Zhou Yin's bony hand, shoulder to shoulder, thigh to thigh, sticking it neatly and dazedly. Let Zhou Yin sit down.

In fact, Tang Fang's mind is still shaking, he can't adapt, he walks a little fluttering, and there are various sounds in his ears like boiling water. He subconsciously puts Zhou Yin's fingers in his palm, inch by inch, joint by joint. He pinched it back and forth three times, Zhou Yin didn't speak, his right hand was pinched numbly to vent his anger, his left hand slightly raised the curtain of the car to look outside, and the light and shadow swayed on his quiet face, seeming to be unreal .

After a while, Tang Fang finally heard where these whistling sounds came from. He stopped involuntarily, and looked at Zhou Yin in surprise—this was the first time Tang Fang heard Zhou Yin so clearly. The voice in Yin's heart was not talking about fixed words, but like the wind whistling in all directions in the desert. His eyes didn't look at himself, as if he didn't know how to react because he was too excited, but he appeared cold and calm.

Tang Fang raised his eyebrows and lowered his head. Only then did he realize that he had squeezed his hand sorely, and he was about to let go in guilt, but Zhou Yin suddenly turned his hand over, and firmly tapped his five fingers into his hand——

Facts have proved that Zhou Yin was right to ask people to prepare the sedan chair. If the two dizzy and confused people did not have the private space suddenly separated by this section, they would not be able to cope with the next situation at all. It took about a cup of tea. Tang Fang His thoughts became more stable, and he realized that the car seemed to be farther than imagined, so he couldn't help but lift the curtain and asked, "Eunuch Gao, where are we going?"

He thought that the eldest brother must meet Zhou Yin in a palace like Qinzheng Hall.

Eunuch Gao said: "It's to Hehuan Palace."

Tang Fang wondered, "Go to Hehuan Palace?"

Eunuch Gao obviously didn't intend to say more, he nodded with a smile and looked ahead.Tang Fang faintly felt that something was wrong, put down the curtain of the car, turned his head to look at Zhou Yin, Hehuan Palace is Luo Shiqing's bedroom, why should he go there in a good manner, the two looked at each other silently and quickly, did not speak, but looked at each other one after another Keenly caught in the eyes: the wolf jumped.

·

Both of them are people who have experienced many battles. They have encountered many dangerous things in their previous lives. They will not panic in the face of what is about to happen, but they will be a little baffled, and they don't know what will happen later.After arriving at the Hehuan Palace, Eunuch Gao first made a pass, and Tang Fang put on the identity of "Kong Jie" and followed Zhou Yin into the palace. The empress and empress in the palace were also there, sitting on the left side of the upper head of the palace with her eyes closed and motionless. Luo Shiqing was in the hall with pear blossoms in the rain, as if she had already said a lot before they came, and behind her was still kneeling the dismissed Tan Kaige, with a disheveled face, seeing Kong Jie coming in, her eyes suddenly locked on him , there was a person sitting at the top of the hall, and Eunuch Gao dutifully stood beside him after the announcement. It was the current Holy Majesty, who was nearly forty years old, with high browbones, high cheekbones, and a long, thin face with little skin. At that time, it seemed as if a black mountain was thrown casually, which made people gasp.

Tang Fang: ...

In this situation, he can also see that the person is not good.

But Tang Fang felt a lot of emotion in his heart at this time. He hadn't seen him for nine years, and it turned out that he actually met his elder brother. The elder brother seemed to be sick and lost a lot of weight. The years had left deep lines on his face. He is clearly a mature regal demeanor when a man is at his most attractive, but his complexion always feels that something is missing.

Little Kong Jie asked him uncertainly in his heart: "Is this your elder brother? The current emperor?"

Tang let out a "hmm" in his heart, and followed Zhou Yin to pay homage. Of course, the Duke of the Kingdom would have a place to sit after the salute, but "Kong Jie" did not. The elder sister-in-law who opened her eyes lazily glanced at each other, and finally lowered her head silently.

"People are coming, what the imperial concubine wants to say, just say it." The emperor clenched his fists and coughed, and opened his mouth in a hoarse voice.

Luo Shiqing suddenly turned his head and said loudly: "This concubine wants to report on Kong Jie, a staff member of Duke Cheng's mansion. This person is a monster, causing chaos in the palace!"

Tang Fang: ...

Little Tang Hou didn't even raise his head, he thought: Is this woman crazy?Why did you say that?

The emperor pinched the bridge of Shangen's nose, waved his hand, and made the imperial concubine insist on questioning.

Alright, Luo Shiqing started, she faced Tang Fang aggressively: "Kong Jie, do you know that Princess Fourteen has been ill for several days?"

Tang Fang frowned: "I know." He heard about it when he entered the palace the day before yesterday.

Luo Shiqing snorted: "It's good that you know, but how do you explain it?"

Tang Fang inexplicably said "Huh?" and asked back: "The princess is sick, why should I explain it? Isn't this a hospital thing?"

Luo Shiqing: "According to the princess nanny, you entered the Linzhi Palace on September 27th. The fourteenth princess only started to have symptoms of vomiting and high fever that night after being in contact with her. She hasn't recovered for several days. Now the hospital is helpless. How dare you Said it wasn't your fault?"

Tang Fang: "The imperial concubine really thinks highly of me. I don't know what I can do to harm the little princess. Besides, when I was playing with the princess, the nanny was watching over me. How do you think I will harm it?"

Luo Shiqing's voice suddenly rose: "Witchcraft! You can cast curses!"

This woman swore every word she said without turning around. Tang Fang smiled, ignored her, and said directly to the superior: "Your Majesty, murdering the princess is a serious crime. A villain dare not take it arbitrarily. The accuser is a noble concubine, and the villain will not be framed if he can't produce solid evidence."

The woman is still noisy: "It seems that you refuse to admit it?"

Tang Fang: "Why admit something that is nothing?"

Tang Fang was bored, and glanced at Zhou Yin, and felt that he was also bored. They thought that the Luo family would make trouble, but they didn't expect it to be this?Just find something to bite and get involved, everyone is a thousand-year-old fox, is it interesting to beat it without pain or itching?Elder brother is really too, he has a fever and is confused, is it worth wasting time to call sister-in-law and Zhou Yin over?Do you want to get together tomorrow and count the hairs of a brush?

"It's not a false rumor!" Luo Shiqing said firmly, "Someone has seen you wandering around the palace several times, even on the day His Majesty returned to the palace, you also entered the palace and had dinner at His Majesty's Changqiu Palace Spying and staying in the courtyard outside the palace, talking to himself, dancing, and drawing a lot of spells in the air!"

Tang Fang: ...

The first time Xiao Kongjie saw this kind of scene, he was really trembling, and he asked timidly in his heart: "Is he talking about the time when the two of us were talking?"

Tang Fang: ...

This woman is serious, if Tang Fang didn't know what he was doing at that time, he would have believed her words.

Tang Fang took a deep breath, and could only explain: "That's not a spell, it's a villain talking to himself when he's bored waiting for the Duke to come out, imperial concubine, can it be that every small action a person makes unintentionally will be caught out by others? Conviction? Besides, the imperial concubine said I was spying, so you are far away in Hehuan Palace, how can you know all the details of Changqiu Palace like the palm of your hand?"

Luo Shiqing, who was caught off guard, was taken aback by the question.

There were many people in the Changqiu Palace who had seen Tang Fang that day, Tang Fang backhanded, wanting to see which dishonest servant came out under the fence of his sister-in-law, Song Yihua finally opened his eyes at this time, Feng Turning his eyes, he looked at Luo Shiqing faintly, and smiled lightly: "It turns out that there are people from the imperial concubine in the Changqiu Palace of my palace."

Tang Fang glanced at his eldest brother and sister-in-law subtly, and for some reason, he saw a little inexplicable peace of mind in this chaotic scene.

Last moment Luo Shiqing was still talking about Kong Jie spying, but at this moment he slapped himself, Luo Shiqing suddenly turned his gaze to the emperor, and almost subconsciously began to argue: "Your Majesty, it was not a concubine spying, it was Commander Tan who passed by the Changqiu Palace that day. Seeing Kong Jie, I don't feel angry that he blatantly practiced this sorcery outside Changqiu Palace, so I came to Hehuan Palace to make the first report!"

Tan Kaige who was instantly sold: ...

"Ah, it's Commander Tan."

Tang Fang didn't expect that this stupid man could fall twice in the same pit. He suddenly turned around and smiled brightly, "Then next time you see me talking to myself, you must catch me on the spot. Don't be polite, catch me!" After that, please be sure to escort it to His Majesty, so as to save me and the imperial concubine from arguing with each other, no one can tell."

Tan Kaige: ...

The beauty Luo Shiqing held her heart together and said aggrievedly: "Your Majesty..."

Tang Fang looked at his elder brother silently but with burning eyes.

It's time for this farce to end. I don't believe that with your sharp insight and wisdom, you can't see through this little trick. The women in the harem make a fuss and make a fuss with ghosts and gods. It's just a clumsy article. , Is it necessary to put the right and wrong on the table based on falsehood?Do you want the world to say that your harem is not peaceful?

But the emperor couldn't hear what Tang Xin said in his heart. He lowered his eyes and didn't say a word. The emperor's silence was very scary, because the less he spoke, the more he had a tendency in his heart, and this tendency was not on his side. Tang Fang was puzzled and felt bad. He didn't understand what happened to his brother?What is he trying to hear?What are you looking at?do what?

At this moment, a communication came from outside: "Your Majesty, Master Luo Shiyu has arrived and said he has something important to report."

The emperor seemed to be waiting for this sentence. Tang let go of his consciousness and looked at Zhou Yin, only to hear the first words: "Let him in."

With a shrewd and cunning face and mossy old clothes, Luo Shiyu first bowed to the nobles in the palace one by one after entering the palace, and said with a slight smile: "Your Majesty, forgive me, I heard that the Duke was rushed to the Hehuan Palace, and I am afraid that something big will happen to the imperial concubine's palace. Dare to find out."

"Important event?" The queen smiled, lowered her head and adjusted the cuffs at her hands in a slow manner: "Master Luo is a good ear report, it seems that I have known what will happen today."

Luo Shiyu's expression was calm, and he replied with a smile: "Yes, when I entered the palace the day before yesterday, I chatted with the imperial concubine about some trivial matters in Beijing, and found that one person was suspicious. The imperial concubine had a pure heart, and I was afraid that she would report to His Majesty on the spur of the moment. Playing right and not being careful, that's why I made this trip."

The emperor's expression was cold, neither encouraging nor suppressing, he said lightly: "Since that's the case, let's talk about it."

"Yes." Luo Shiyu said: "Your Majesty, I have been driving around for a month. When I returned to Beijing the day before yesterday, I was able to enter the palace and talk to the imperial concubine. The empress and the minister talked about a strange person in the Eastern Capital recently. This person is quite favored by the Duke of the state, and he solved the worries and problems of the Taichang Temple in the forbidden area of ​​the prince's mansion, and was introduced to the empress empress. In just one day, he could not help but go in and out of the palace freely. The name, upon hearing it, turned out to be Kong Jie, a staff member of the Duke's Mansion."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and looked at Tang Fang as if singing a play, and asked, "Kong Jie, do you still know me?"

Little Kong Jie said anxiously in his heart: "Your Highness, say hello, talk, say something!"

But Tang Fang just raised his eyelids, looked him up and down, but didn't speak.

Luo Shiyu smiled slightly, and turned to the head: "Your Majesty does not know something. When I was a guest in Chengguo Duke's Mansion four years ago, there was only one wall away from Kong Jie's house. I know his background quite well. I know his character better. He was originally an outcast from the Eastern Capital, but he was rescued by the Duke many years ago and entered the mansion. He has a timid and cowardly personality, and keeps himself safe. He has been doing things in silence for several years, and he dare not even speak loudly."

Tang Fang didn't say a word, but his gaze towards Luo Shiyu gradually became gloomy.

Luo Shiyu: "There are more weird things than that. If a person's temperament, knowledge, and eyesight can suddenly change drastically, at least his memory should not change. The day before yesterday when I was leaving the palace, I happened to bump into this 'Kong Jie' in front of me. He passed by, but his reaction seemed to be that he didn't recognize the minister at all."

Luo Shiyu stared at Tang Fang suddenly, and almost lost his voice: "I'm afraid that what's in this person's body is no longer a 'person'!"

This last sentence was resounding, and at that moment, several gasps rang out in the quiet Hehuan Palace at the same time!Suddenly, all eyes were on Tang Fang, the servants in the room, and even the guards with knives standing beside him!

Tang Fang's eyes quickly locked on the guards who had already made mistakes, and he thought sharply in his heart. He knew that Luo Shiqing knew who he was, but he never thought that he would deal with such a situation. Their brothers and sisters did not expose his identity. It's just doing this kind of guidance, God is sorry, when his elder brother heard this, he didn't think that his younger brother was back!

At this time, little Kong Jie was also extremely nervous, chattering in his heart, as if he wished he could speak for himself, saying that he had no choice but to make ghosts not harm others, but humans and ghosts have different ways, and the only way to make this kind of distinction is to get better. The darker the description, the ordinary people don't care whether you are a good ghost or an evil ghost, they will only think that there is a creepy ghost among people.

Luo Shiyu took a few steps back and glared at Tang Fang: "Your Majesty, be careful! This ghost's temperament has changed drastically, and I'm afraid it will be bad for you!"

Zhou Yin's expression has changed, and the sister-in-law is even more anxious. Tang Fang glanced at both sides, feeling even more flustered, thinking you two don't say anything, when the time comes, put my identity on the table, let me accept it or not?That situation is not even more chaotic!Immediately without waiting for the two of them to open their mouths, he distinguished himself loudly: "Master Luo said that I didn't know you without saying hello to you. When did you say that?"

Luo Shiyu: "The day before yesterday, it was at the east gate!"

Tang Fang: "Master Luo is talking about the time you talked with Deputy Commander Chen Ying and Chen?"

Luo Shiyu: "Exactly. At that time, all the servants in the east gate guards could testify for me, and so could Deputy Commander Chen Ying!"

Tang Fang: "If it's just because I didn't say hello to you, it can prove that I'm not me. Now that Vice Commander Chen is investigating the case of the Korka wine shop, can I say that you are spying on the inside story of the case, and it is Korka's?" Behind the scenes!"

The words were too sudden, and the conductor who didn't know the inside story felt that "Kong Jie" was talking nonsense, but Luo Shiyu's face really changed, and he said suddenly: "You spout blood!"

"That's right! But Master Luo also knows that this is blood spouting!"

Tang zoomed back loudly, "I just don't want to talk to you, I don't want to say hello to you, that's okay? Master Luo has no proof, nothing but revenge! What kind of enmity do I have with you, and you want to put me to death like this? !"

Zhou Yin looked at Tang Fang in astonishment, he didn't understand why A Fang was so nervous all of a sudden, but before he could think clearly, Luo Shiqing spoke again.

"Yeah, what grudge do we have against you? Want to frame you with red lips and white teeth?"

Luo Shiqing raised his voice, and said pitifully to Tang Geng, "Your Majesty, the Duke has never liked to be close to others, but this 'Kong Jie' can suddenly accompany him around and behave intimately. After acquiring this 'Kong Jie', he brought him into the palace while His Majesty was not in the palace, let him live in Tangdi Terrace, gave him the token of Changqiu Palace, let him move freely in the palace, and even let him and the prince When the princesses are playing, the courtiers and concubines really have no other intentions, but they really can't bear to be fooled by the queen and the duke,"

As he spoke, he even sobbed, and said in a voiceless voice: "Your Majesty, before Princess Duanyun fell from the building and died, this Kong Jie was always by her side!"

At that moment, Tang Fang suddenly heard a thump in his heart.

At that moment, Song Yihua and Zhou Yin suddenly realized something, and their whole bodies tensed up: they discovered to their horror that they had made a mistake.

In the court, there is no evidence that someone got stolen goods at the same time. As long as His Majesty still has reason, he can't do anything to others. The fourteenth princess is sick, and His Majesty is confused. Luo Shiqing's words are all empty words , They are too lazy to deal with it, but in fact today's focus has never been here. The emperor's focus is: a person of unknown origin and suspicious identity can freely enter and leave the palace during his one-month absence from Beijing. My own daughter fell ill, the empress began to show favoritism, the Duke began to treat me generously, and even my sister who died unexpectedly not long ago had something to do with this person. If you were the emperor, what would you think?what would you think

He will feel that this stranger in front of him has bewitched and deceived his wife, sister, and important ministers. From the beginning to the end of today's confrontation, the Duke and the Queen are destined to come and watch, because it is for them to watch, "Kong Jie "It doesn't matter who wins and who loses in the debate with the Luo family from the very beginning!

Tang Fang also reacted, staring at Luo Shiqing with wide eyes.

Luo Shiqing, a creepy and treacherous woman, nine out of ten sentences are short-sighted and ridiculous, but it is the last sentence, when people are most defenseless, they suddenly open their mouths, like a poisonous snake, biting people's vitals with full of venomous teeth. At that time, her face was pitiful, with pear blossoms and rain, one face seemed to be crying, but the other face was obviously smiling.

Almost timidly, Tang Fang raised his eyes slowly, and cast his eyes on the face of his eldest brother——

The years have left deep lines on the emperor's tough face. He has lost a lot of weight and aged a lot, but only his eyes are still the same as before, as dark as ink, like torches.Tang Fang's face turned gray immediately, because he understood, so he understood clearly the moment they looked at each other.

Big brother... actually wanted to kill him.
