Wang Zhijing

, I thought over and over again, if possible, I would never use such a cheap lie to pass the test, but after thinking about it, I couldn't find a good plan.

"Is there any inconvenience, Mr. Su?" The old eunuch smiled gently, even if he urged to ask, it was so comfortable.

I sighed, lying to someone like him made me feel even more guilty.

"It's like this. Your Majesty took the bed last night and didn't sleep well. This morning he said he had a headache, and he's gone to sleep now."

"Jun Shanglong is not feeling well?" Bai Yuyan frowned slightly, "Master Su, why didn't you report it to the palace?"

"It's just a little headache, it's not a problem."

I'm not familiar with the palace rules, and I don't know that even a little discomfort of the king is a big deal in the eyes of the people in the palace.Seeing Bai Yuyan's face changed instantly, I secretly regretted that this lie was very clumsy.

"Lord Su, please take this old slave to the place where the Lord lives. The old slave understands Qihuang a little bit, so I can feel relieved when I see the Lord's pulse."

As he spoke, he raised his leg and stepped into the mansion gate without waiting for my answer.

"Eunuch Bai," I stretched out my arm to stop him, "Your Majesty has fallen asleep, so it's better not to disturb him."

Bai Yuyan turned to look at me, and said with a smile, "Master Su is very right. That's it, how about letting the old slave stand outside Junshang's bedroom, and wait for him to wake up before going to visit him?"

"This……"

"Master Su won't even refuse the old slave's request, will he?"

The voice is gentle and polite, but the meaning in the words is very strong.He came here according to the order, even if he entered the mansion directly without explaining to me, if I blocked it, it would be a crime of disobedience and disobedience, and the crime could be death.He can give in again and again, which is already very tolerant and courteous.

I can't think of any reason not to let him into the house.

"Okay." Reluctantly, I turned my body sideways, and I made way inward, "Your Majesty lives in Dongyu Study, Eunuch Bai, please come with me."

twenty two.Su Yun - Congratulations

Bai Yuyan followed closely behind me, and I walked very slowly.The mood was solemn, after saying so much, he just didn't want anyone to see Qi Xuan, but he didn't expect this to be the result.

How to do?How to do?

No matter how long it takes, the Su Mansion is not that big after all. Passing through the rockery in the garden, the moon gate of the study is already in sight.

I stop at the door.

"Your Majesty, stop here?" Bai Yuyan opened the door, although the cover was well concealed, but the dissatisfaction still leaked from this question.

I nodded: "Exactly."

Bai Yuyan walked towards the courtyard, and my heart sank following his steps.Along the way, I still can't think of any solution.This internal official was really unusual, he said that he stood outside the door and waited all night, I'm afraid he really meant what he said.After one night, how can I hand over a decent king to him!

When he came to the courtyard, Bai Yuyan's two long white eyebrows were frowned like twigs.

"This courtyard..." He looked around, the flowers and trees in the porch, the carvings on the doors and windows, carefully examined them one by one, shook his head and smiled at me.

"Master Su, don't be surprised, this old servant is not going to show you the score in the palace. It's just that I didn't expect that Your Majesty, who is so meticulous, would stay in such a place."

His voice was very low, and his footsteps were very light. He thought that he was worried that Qi Xuan was sleeping peacefully in the house, and he was afraid of disturbing him. He paid careful attention to everything and was really considerate.

"Who is outside?"

Suddenly a man's lazy voice came out of the room, and my heart skipped a beat.

"It's the old slave." Bai Yuyan replied, "Did the old slave wake up the Lord? It's really a crime that deserves death."

"It's Mr. Bai." There was a slight smile in Qi Xuan's voice, "You old guy is not serious all day long, even if you really wake up the widow, why should you die? You are dead , who does the Empress Dowager ask to chant sutras?"

Bai Yuyan also smiled: "That's the kindness of the emperor. If you really wake up the emperor's sleep, the old servant will die."

Although the rules in the palace are strict, given Bai Yuyan's connection with the royal family, he has long been free from red tape, but he is very respectful and does not neglect his seniority and status.

He bowed, got up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager asked this old servant to ask you when do you plan to return to the palace?"

"Hmm..." Qi Xuan seemed to be stretching inwardly, his voice was vague and sticky, "This question... well, you have to ask Mr. Su."

Hearing this, I was taken aback for a moment, and then my ears warmed up.Bai Yuyan didn't seem surprised at all, turned around and smiled at me: "Then congratulations to Mr. Su."

I just felt that a ball of flames shot up in my chest. If I could, I would immediately rush into the room and slap Qi Xuan twice, and then ask him again, what does that mean!

"Congratulations to Junshang too. Mr. Su is a rare talent, and Junshang has always had a good eye."

What's the point!I gritted my teeth.

Bai Yuyan's gentle and beaming face looked very wretched to me at this moment.The Qi palace is filthy and filthy, no matter how much he contributes to the country, Bai Yuyan is nothing but the king's favorite.What he thinks is different from ordinary people after all.

Congratulations?Thanks to him for saying such a thing!

Even if I have no enmity with Qi Xuan, but I am just an ordinary official, if I am favored like a woman by the lord, it would be a disgrace to the scholarly family. Apart from killing myself to thank my ancestors, even if I am smashed to pieces, I will not be able to pay for the shameful sin.

Although I know that this is not the time to attack at all, I think my face must have changed.Fortunately, Bai Yuyan focused on the people in the house, and only glanced at me before turning back.

He only heard him say again: "Actually, I already guessed a thing or two when the Empress Dowager mentioned this matter to me this afternoon. Telling the Empress Dowager knows that she is an old man has nothing to do with it. It's just that those who are away from home don't know what your majesty can get used to. .Can you allow the old slave to come in and wait on him for a while, and go back to report to the queen mother, so that she can feel at ease."

"Hmm..." Qi Xuan seemed to hesitate.

"Your Majesty won't let this old servant see you, and this old servant will have no face to go back to see the Queen Mother." Bai Yuyan laughed.

"That's okay." Qi Xuan sighed slightly, "You are really troublesome, and it's you. If the other widow will definitely beat you out. Just wait outside, Su Yun, come in and serve the widow to change clothes."

"That's okay." Qi Xuan sighed slightly, "You are really troublesome, and it's you. If the other widow will definitely beat you out. Just wait outside, Su Yun, come in and serve the widow to change clothes."

Bai Yuyan turned around when he heard the words, bent slightly, stretched out his right arm to signal inwards, and smiled at me, "Master Su, please."

I was startled.The expression on his face must have been very stiff, because a little bit of surprise flashed in Bai Yuyan's eyes.My heart trembles a little, this person's shrewdness is not inferior to that of a capable official in the court, and he has been immersed in the deep palace for a long time, he is the best hand at observing words and demeanor.

I tried my best to squeeze out a smile, but my lips were tightly pursed. I couldn't say a word. I lifted my foot up the steps, hesitated again, and then pushed the door open and entered.

Leaving in a hurry is still a matter of afternoon.At this moment, it was getting late, and a few candlesticks were lit in the outer room, but it was dark inside the curtain.

Although the rain had stopped, the humid air made the house look extraordinarily cold.After the door was closed, the silence overflowed, and the slight sound of breathing was caught in the ear.My heart was beating violently, and my hand holding the candlestick was unstable.

No, this is not the time to be angry!I told myself over and over again.Minmin and the others haven't left safely yet, so be patient, be patient, be patient...

Qi Xuan was lying half-lying against the rail of the bed, his posture was almost exactly the same as when I left, as if he hadn't moved a bit.

The footsteps stopped a foot in front of the bed, the candlelight was pale and flickering, reflecting Qi Xuan's paler face.His head leaned against the railing, looking weak, his lips parted, and he said to me silently: "Come here."

I didn't hesitate for long, and walked to the bed according to my words.

"Help me up."

He still didn't make a sound, and gave me orders with his lips.

This time I didn't even pause, sitting on the edge of the bed and reaching out.

"Are you angry?" Qi Xuan's voice was very soft, ringing in my ears.I was holding his waist, and suddenly a pair of cold arms wrapped around his neck.

A cool breath hit my neck, he leaned his head on my shoulder, and whispered: "The people in the palace already have doubts. If I don't say that, they won't believe you. Don't be angry, okay?" ?”

I still didn't speak.

He took a robe from the bedside, hugged Qi Xuan and sat on his lap, put on the shirt for him, put on the sleeves, tied the belt, and then the wide skirt, socks, and boots.

Qi Xuan's hands and feet were cold, and his complexion was extremely bad.His body was limp and powerless, leaning against me like a newborn baby, completely dependent on me.

I'm not sure if he really lost all his strength, or just took advantage of it.I don't care.

"Can you get out of bed by yourself?"

After helping him get dressed, I asked.

The arms around his neck seemed to tighten, but he didn't make a sound.

I lowered my head and bumped into those pair of dark shining eyes.I didn't speak any more, just let him watch like that, and my heart was at peace.

"Su Yun, I thought I would never see you again." Qi Xuan said quietly.

Well said.I really have no intention of seeing him again.But now that I have met, I am very relieved to find that everything is as usual.I can't even feel the hatred and anger.

My heart is already calm, like a night sea with no waves, submerging my restlessness, impulsiveness and all emotions that should never belong to me.

"Bai Yuyan is still outside."

I spoke, my voice indifferent.

Qi Xuan was silent for a while, then suddenly closed his eyes that had been lingering on my face, lowered his head, and curled up on my chest.

"I'm most afraid of seeing you like a stranger."

He sighed lowly, sucking his nose.
