Hongdi

Chapter 11

When Yu Xun and He Borui returned to the Chu Palace, it was already time to light the lamps. He Borui arranged for dinner and watched Yu Xun drink the medicine before retreating.

Staying alone in the huge palace, feeling the cold that quietly invaded after nightfall, letting his thoughts fly wildly, Yu Xun smiled wryly: "Wenshu Pavilion? Hmm..., brother probably doesn't know that The place is also a forbidden place for me, yes, it must be like this, otherwise he won’t let me take risks.” He shook his head hard, and a mischievous smirk covered the original bitterness: “I saw you today That person, it turns out that his name is Bei Yaofei, the Hebei who wants to fly? Hehe, what a strange name. Oh, yes, there is also that incredibly beautiful woman, um, it seems that today I decided to marry that surnamed Bei Robbing her. It’s not bad to snatch her to be a concubine, after all, she is a rare beauty. However, in this case, I have to design a new personality to cater to her, um... for Ling Yanxiu, it seems that it is not very good. Trouble. When you get her, what will Bei Yaofei look like? Well, in the days to come, hehe, I'm looking forward to it..." Yu Xun couldn't help but start to design his new character, thinking sweetly sleep...

Early the next morning, Yu Xun went to Yushulou and began to investigate about He Shuang.There are seven floors in the Yushu Building, which are divided into talent, biography, history, military books, anthology, technology, and inner canon.Every layer of Yu Xun is very familiar, so familiar that he has read almost every book.Ever since he learned to read the faces of everyone in the deep palace, he was doomed to be unable to escape from the red wall, and alone, he had to immerse himself in the ocean of words to steal a chance to breathe. When he was a child, he spent a lot of time in this building. After growing up, this habit has not changed. In the end, he has read all the books in a building...

Yu Xun searched every place where there might be records about He Shuang according to his memory.After searching for two days and one night in a row, the result was as he expected, nothing was found.Looking at the red sun slanting to the west, he rubbed his sore eyes and decided to go to Wenshu Pavilion at night.

It was night, and the moon was shining brightly. Yu Xun, dressed in dark purple casual clothes, sneaked into the small courtyard of Wenshu Pavilion.He found this dress after rummaging in the box for a long time, and he realized that he didn't have any black clothes except the night clothes. He couldn't help but think of the man named Bei Yaofei, who was always dressed in a sinister look. It's dark, but it's very convenient for doing things at night.

Even the door to the courtyard of Wenshu Pavilion is usually locked, and the guards usually only hang around outside the courtyard. Only when special files need to be stored, will someone open the courtyard door and enter the cabinet to do business.Yu Xun carefully avoided the guarded guard posts around Wenshu Pavilion, climbed to the top of the wall with his half-baked qinggong, and then carefully jumped into the yard.

It was a small two-story building, all the windows were sealed tightly from the inside, and a large special copper lock was hung on the two small mottled vermilion doors.Yu Xun caressed his forehead, pulled out a small gold hairpin from his hair, and gently fiddled with the spring of the copper lock.His left hand was injured and he couldn't use his strength. He only relied on his right hand to provoke little by little, and time passed without hesitation. Is it possible that I have to go to the palace to find Xiaotian and learn how to open the lock again?" Just as he was struggling to unlock, a hand quietly stretched out from the back of his neck.Seeing the black shadow reflected on the door, Yu Xun broke out in a cold sweat, turned around suddenly, and poked the man's brow with the hairpin, but unexpectedly, the man's hand was much faster than him, and he clamped his wrist. He took the golden hairpin.

A familiar black dress, a familiar face...

Yu Xun relaxed his strength, leaned softly against the door, and complained softly: "Are you scaring me to death?" Helplessly looking at Bei Yaofei who was smiling complacently in front of him, he curled the corner of his mouth lightly, and said again: "Why are you here? Didn't you tell you to wait for news?"

"If I don't come, who will help you open the lock?" After hearing a soft "click", Bei Yaofei removed the copper lock, turned around and handed the hairpin to Yu Xun, and pushed the door open.

"Oh, thank you." Yu Xun looked at the copper lock that he had been working on for a long time without any response in frustration, then entered the Wenshu Pavilion, and said, "My brother asked you to help me."

In the darkness, Bei Yaofei bent his mouth in displeasure and did not speak.Yu Xun thought that he had acquiesced, and a hole hidden in his heart seemed to be filled. He raised the corners of his mouth in joy, and the moonlight lightly shone on his face through the window paper, and the smile fell into the bottom of his mouth without omission. Yaofei's eyes.Feeling restless for a while, Bei Yaofei finally couldn't hold back, and said coldly: "That brother of yours is so kind? He let you come here even though he knew you had no right to come here, obviously using you."

"What nonsense are you talking about? My brother won't do it. Otherwise, why would he ask you to help me?"

Bei Yaofei took a bullying step, his silver-gray eyes looked straight at Yu Xun, and said coldly: "Who told you that I was sent by him? Except for Xiaoxiu, I will not listen to anyone's orders."

"Xiaoxiu? Miss Ling asked you to come?"

Bei Yaofei pushed Yu Xun against the wall, and couldn't hold back his inexplicable anger, "Do I have to be asked to come by someone else? You treat me like a blind man and I can't see how much you love Wenshu Pavilion." worry!"

"Ah? You? Oh, thank you." Probably because he knew that it wasn't Fan Xiao who asked him to come, Yu Xun lowered his head a little bit disappointed, and didn't notice the slight joy floating in his heart.

Seeing Yu Xun's disappointed look, Bei Yaofei was completely controlled by the unexplained anger. He covered Yu Xun's mouth with one hand, and squeezed his injured left hand with the other.Through the window sill, the moonlight shines directly into Yu Xun's light green eyes, which suddenly widened because of the pain, doubts, panic, exhaustion, and grievances poured out without any cover, Bei Yaofei regretted that he had hurt him again. he...

Yu Xun gently stroked his trembling left arm, closed his eyes to calm his emotions, and said slowly: "Hurry up, someone will come to change the guard at five o'clock, and it will be difficult if they are discovered. time is limited."

Bei Yaofei didn't speak any more, turned around and began to look at the attic by the moonlight.Although the place is small, the bookshelves are densely packed. Although it is difficult to find them all in one night, it is not impossible.He frowned slightly, and then began to flip through quickly.

Yu Xun stepped forward and handed him a night pearl, and said, "I'll go upstairs to have a look, can you look for it on the first floor?" Seeing Bei Yaofei nodding, he went straight up the stairs.

Bei Yaofei quickly flipped through the books in front of him, his heart calmed down a little, but those heart-wrenching eyes were still lingering in his mind.Suddenly, a "plop" came from upstairs, and he was startled, put down the half-read book in his hand and flew directly to the second floor.

There are far fewer bookshelves on the second floor than on the first floor. Most of the books on the shelves are outdated and seem to be things from a long time ago.Bei Yaofei looked around, and under the moonlight, a thin figure was kneeling helplessly in front of a huge open sandalwood cabinet, and an old parchment book collapsed on the ground.Bei Yaofei walked up to him and looked down at him. In those light green eyes was the anger he had never seen before. A tinge of blood leaked from his clenched lower lip. His fists were clenched tightly. will break.

"what happened?"

Yu Xun slowly raised his head and returned to normal in an instant. He quickly packed up the scrolls and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just know why I can't come in." Knowing that Bei Yaofei must have seen something, he immediately said: "Since See, you should know that this has nothing to do with He Shuang, it's just a contract with other countries." He let out a long breath, and said: "It has nothing to do with martial arts, it's a matter for the royal family. So, you, nothing See. Can I?"

A question, a light statement, not losing the aura of the emperor at all, firm and inviolable.Bei Yaofei nodded subconsciously.Yu Xun smiled relaxedly, and said again: "Have you finished the investigation downstairs? It seems that there are no records of the inner palace here, and they are all diplomatic things."

"Oh, I haven't read it yet. But there are some records about the concubine. I'll look through it again." For some reason, Bei Yaofei followed Yu Xun's cryptic words unexpectedly and obediently.

"Then you can come here alone? I want to take another look here."

"Well, come down to help after you finish reading, there are a lot of books downstairs."

"Okay." Seeing Bei Yaofei turn around and go downstairs, Yu Xun slumped weakly against the bookshelf at the back, and buried the secrets he had seen deeply at the bottom of his heart.

Bei Yaofei has no interest in national affairs at all, that is what the royal family has to bear, it has nothing to do with the common people, and it has nothing to do with him, a prodigal son, but Yu Xun's appearance just now made him a little inexplicably happy.Thinking back on that Wei Wei domineering words, he felt that Yu Xun seemed to take off the layers of masks on his face in an instant, revealing the dignity that belonged to the king, a real Hong Yu Xun.Bei Yaofei raised the corners of his mouth like a child who discovered a secret paradise, happily completing the order Yu Xun gave him - turning over the book.

After a while, Yu Xun came down from upstairs softly.Bei Yaofei searched most of the room, but there was still no clue about He Shuang. He looked up at Yu Xun, touched the bookshelf behind him, and said, "I haven't looked over there yet." Yu Xun nodded and started searching from the other side.

At dawn, the two finally finished reading all the books, but there was still no usable information.After hastily tidying up the house, the two locked the door and flew back to the Chu Palace.

Sitting on a chair in the dark room of the Chu Palace, Yu Xun rubbed his sore eyes, and said to Bei Yaofei in embarrassment: "I'm sorry, I couldn't help you."

"It's nothing. How is your reading at the Imperial Book Tower?"

"It's over, no."

"See all seven floors? Two days?"

"Well, I read them all, not in two days, but in 13 years." Seeing that Bei Yaofei was puzzled, Yu Xun said again: "I have been tossing around in that building since I was seven years old, and I have read all the books. One day is enough to check all the suspicious places. No." He suddenly smiled mischievously: "If you don't believe it, you can look it up yourself, the guards there are not strict, and there are lights at night, it is very bright."

"No. I believe you."

"Oh. Then wait a little longer, maybe there will be news from my brother. After all, my brother's concubine mother, oh, is Concubine Han, she is a very powerful person."

"Well, that's the only way to go. By the way, you have a secret passage leading directly to Prince Yi's mansion, right? It's almost dawn, can you lend it to me?"

"Huh? You...you know?"

"I walked by it once, even though it was carried on my back."

Yu Xun twitched the corners of his mouth a little depressed, but didn't speak.

"If you're afraid of leaking secrets, you can knock me out and ask that person to carry me. However, I know more than just this secret passage." The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he asked, "Are you a rat? You like making holes so much. ?”

Yu Xun glared at him angrily, "I didn't dig the tunnel to Prince Yi's Mansion, it was built by my brother."

"Well, I also think this one is better, no, it's very good."

Yu Xun smiled perfunctorily, and said, "That's natural. The Shihua piece was dug in my first year in Wuning, because I couldn't sleep and felt bored."

"Didn't the person who poisoned you give you half black grass in the first year?"

"No, it will only be given from the second year, one a year." Yu Xun suddenly felt very emotional, he chuckled, and said quietly: "You can wait until I go to Shihua to save you, I am really unlucky, you are very unlucky." The result of luck."

Bei Yaofei's heart twitched inexplicably, he knew this ancient poison from Yao country: there is no peace in the body, and there will never be a day of peace.The first one can't sleep at night, and the last one can't eat.If there is no half-heihe detoxification within half a year, people will gradually die, and if there is no detoxification of Heihe beads within 15 years, the gods will be hard to save.

"You have a lot of life."

"Hehe, is life fatal? My brother won't let me die. Although there are no Heihezhu and Banheihe, other tranquilizing medicines are still somewhat effective." Yu Xun saw a strange flash of surprise in Bei Yaofei's eyes. Worried, he coughed lightly, and said again: "What advice does Miracle Doctor Bei have? Could it be that the Heihe Zhu is not effective enough, and Wu Ning has not finished the cure? I have to send someone to find the antidote again?"

Bei Yaofei didn't speak, walked to Yu Xun's side, stroked his wrist, carefully checked his pulse, and said after a while: "No need, the poison has been cured. The other medicines don't do much harm to the body, so don't worry. It's just that you have been poisoned for too long, and the antidote is not taken in time, there is fear that the poison will remain in your bones, I will mix some more medicine for you, and you can take it for a while." Although Bei Yaofei said this in his mouth, but in his heart Knowing that Yu Xun's body has been ruined by all kinds of messy medicines, and the coldness in his body is wanton, it seems that he has suffered severe frostbite.

"Hehe, thank you, remember not to make it too bitter, I don't like it."

"The pill, it's not bitter. But, you...are you not afraid that I will harm you?"

"If you want to hurt me, how can I prevent it?" Yu Xun said seriously, his upper and lower eyelids glued together, and he yawned.He got up and fiddled with something in the cabinet, a secret door slowly opened, turned around and said to Bei Yaofei: "It's fine to go from here, but I have one condition, you must agree."
