At the same time that Shang Zhi was brought to Jinyuan Palace, Qi Heng, who was dressed in coarse sackcloth on the outskirts of Kyoto, was getting closer to Kyoto bit by bit, sitting on a bullock cart squeezed among several peasant women.Several peasant women saw that although he was dressed simply, he had such an extraordinary temperament, so they didn't talk to him very much, they just chatted privately at the side, and Qi Heng, who was in a daze, occasionally heard a few words about him, and ignored them.

It was already late when Qi Heng rushed to the outskirts of Kyoto yesterday, so he found a farmhouse to rest. It happened that the farmers were going to the market today, so they went into the city together in a bullock cart.

The past five months have not been satisfactory for him. At that time, it rained heavily, and he slipped and hit his head and became dizzy. This was not enough. Later, the rain became heavier and heavier, and washed away a stone slab supporting him on the edge of the cliff. , He fell down the cliff along the stone slab again, his leg was broken by the stone, and his hand was broken, but fortunately he was rescued by an old couple who went up the mountain to collect firewood.

After that, he began to live a life of wearing coarse linen clothes and eating cheap food. He was not used to it at first, but because of his good self-cultivation, he never complained, and he got used to it over time.It’s just that the place where he recuperates is a bit weird. The seasons are like spring, warm and suitable, but there is only this old couple nearby. It stands to reason that it was a rainy night when he fell down, but when he woke up, the surroundings were full of scented flowers, and there was no cloud in the sky. If the old couple hadn't said that he was only in a coma for a day, he would almost have thought he had been in a coma for a long time, otherwise why would the seasons have changed, but looking at everything around him was really incomprehensible.

He was eager to leave here, no, he wanted to go back to the capital as soon as he recovered from his injury, but the old woman stopped him, "Everything is fine at home, it won't be too late to go back after recovering." He refused and insisted on leaving, But he found that he couldn't get out of this mountain anyway, so he had no choice but to go back to the hut and ask the old woman for help. It takes another one or two months to raise.

Strange to say, he followed the old man later, but he walked out after a while, but the seasons seemed to have changed after leaving the mountain, and he turned around to thank the old man, but the bamboo forest in front of him was still like spring all the year round. That mountain, where is the figure of the old man.

It was really hard for Qi Heng to walk this way. He wasn't sure if there were still people chasing him, so he didn't dare to stay in an inn when he was on his way. Every time a family stays, leave some money for them.

It takes about five or six hours to go from the neighboring city to the capital at a fast pace, but Qi Heng really doesn't have enough money on him, and there is nothing valuable to pawn, so it took another half a month for Qi Heng to leave, and he finally arrived in the capital today. .

In Jinyuan Palace, after Shang Zhi woke up, the wound on his head had been bandaged, but there was a dull pain in his stomach, and he couldn't make any big movements. He might really be about to give birth prematurely.

Su Chanli looked at Shang Zhi who was frowning tightly, "What's the matter, is it painful?" Shang Zhi paled and shook his head unconsciously, Jin Se hurried over to help Shang Zhi up a little, "Empress, don't worry, Miss should be fine, she's just weak right now."

Su Chanli was worried, and called the Han doctor to take his pulse again. The Han doctor had a serious face and frowned slightly, "I will tell the empress, Miss Cheng is fine, she is indeed weak, and with the bump in the Golden Luan Hall just now, it looks like she is going to die." I'm about to give birth, and I can't help you with this matter. It's better for the empress to find some experienced midwives, and then ask someone to bring some good ginseng, and use it for hanging in an emergency. Waiting in the hall, call the next officer when necessary."

As soon as Su Chanli heard it, he ordered, "Go to the side hall and call the mothers over, and then go to the concubine's place and call the mothers to come, and let someone heat the hot water, and go to the warehouse to get the Get the blood ginseng and prepare it." Su Chanli invited the men out of the house again, and then sent someone to Cheng's house to call the old lady.

Shang Zhi was stupefied with the pain, he couldn't hear what they were talking about, he just felt a tight, dull pain in his stomach, and it started to hurt again just a little bit later.

In Cheng's mansion, the old lady received the message, and immediately asked the master to prepare a carriage and entered the palace. The old lady was very worried along the way, and Cheng Qumai, who was with her, kept comforting her, "Grandmother, don't worry, big sister is auspicious." She has her own celestial appearance, so she has been doing well in all these years and so many calamities, it's all right, it's all right."

Although Cheng Qumai said that, he couldn't calm down. Originally, Cheng Wantong was going to come, but the grandmother said that she was pregnant, which was a happy event, and Shang Zhi's birth was also a happy event. So he asked Cheng Qumai to go with him, Cheng Shanglu was worried, so he temporarily became a driver and entered the palace together.

Mrs. Cheng was very anxious. No one knew Shang Zhi's body better than her. She brought up Shang Zhi since she was a child. She knew all kinds of disasters and diseases. Premature birth was inevitable for Shang Zhi's body, but this For such a big event, I didn't even say hello. In case, in case, the old lady dared not even think about it, "This child just doesn't make people worry. When I was young, I was worried that I would not be able to last a day. Now I'm getting older, and I'm even more worried." And the carriage drove towards the palace as fast as the old lady's heart.

Qi Heng got out of the cart at the city gate, and gave the last bit of silver that was left on him to the young man driving the ox cart. After several refusals, the young man still accepted it.

After Qi Heng entered the capital, he hurried towards Duke Qi's mansion, but happened to meet the Cheng family's carriage galloping away, looking at the direction, it should be the palace, but now he didn't know what happened, Qi Heng decided to go home first after much deliberation.

In the Qi Mansion, the weather has been fine these few days, and the Princess has gotten better, so she wanted to get out of bed and take a walk. As soon as she sat down in the garden, Duke Qi walked towards her quickly, "Grandpa, why are you in such a hurry?" ?”

Duke Qi smiled, "You have to be steady, I'll tell you later, don't faint from excitement."

The princess gave him a white look, "I haven't seen any scene before, and I even fainted. I have experienced the most painful ones, so there is nothing to be excited about."

The smile on Duke Qi's face was almost overflowing, "You really haven't seen this scene before. Shang Zhi went to the Golden Luan Hall to remonstrate with the emperor today, and bumped into the Golden Dragon Pillar..."

Before Qi Guogong finished speaking, the princess pinched him, "You are heartless, Shang Zhi is also your former daughter-in-law, and our Qi family can't forgive her, so you can laugh if something happened to her. "

Duke Qi took the princess's hand, "I haven't finished my words yet, Shang Zhi is fine, but she is pregnant, I'm afraid she will give birth prematurely, I went to Jinyuan Palace to ask Master Cheng, the child is Heng'er of."

The princess was really excited when she heard it, she shed tears and smiled happily, before she could recover, there was a crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground behind her, the princess turned around and saw Qi Heng looking at them dully, on the ground It was a broken teapot and teacup, and the tea splashed wet the hem and boots of Qi Heng's new robe, "Is what father just said true?"

Qi Guogong was happy one after another today, which is indeed a bit difficult to digest. Hearing Qi Heng's question, he nodded reflexively. After getting a definite answer, Qi Heng turned and left.When he just returned home, he knew that his mother was sick, and wanted to give her a surprise, so he didn't ask anyone to tell him. He even went to change into a new suit, brewed new tea and came to plead guilty. He was startled, he had only one thought now, that is—to enter the palace, he must first meet the emperor before he can find a reason to go to Jinyuan Palace, so he must first change to the government, find The man prepared a horse and rode directly into the palace.

When he got off his horse at the gate of the palace, he happened to see the Cheng family's carriage turning around the palace wall. He was still wondering when the Cheng family's carriage would be able to drive directly into the palace, but when he thought about his purpose of entering the palace, it was all right. Of course, from this point of view, Shang Zhi's situation should be urgent, so he was so accommodating. Thinking of this, Qi Heng's pace became a little faster, and the anxiety in his heart increased rather than decreased.

The scene returned to the Golden Luan Hall, and now there was no one else in the hall except their grandparents and grandchildren, "All right, listen to what grandpa has to say."

The emperor sighed, and walked down the high platform of the Jinluan Hall, with infinite remorse on his face.He walked down and met his grandfather face to face, and bowed, "Grandfather, is it my fault?"

Looking at Zhao Xingzhi's behavior, Prince Chu knew that he had really let go of the hatred between him and Shang Zhi. From the moment he lifted his foot down the stairs, the aloof emperor in front of him finally changed back to The affectionate and righteous Zhao Xingzhi.

Prince Chu stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Xingzhi's shoulder, "Xingzhi, what you have done in the past few years has really passed, I just thought you were cleaning up the remnants of evil, but I didn't know until today that you actually forced Shang Zhi to come to the Golden Luan Hall The point of dead remonstrance."

Zhao Xingzhi immediately retorted, "I didn't want her to die."

Prince Chu shook his head, "But you have the intention to kill, once you have the intention to kill, she will not be far from death."

Zhao Xingzhi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking, Prince Chu was also a little annoyed, "I thought you were a wise king, who knew good and evil, and who knew loyalty and evil, but what about you now, what have you done, where is Shang Zhi? I'm sorry for making you want to kill her."

Zhao Xingzhi didn't know how to answer, "Grandfather, I know I was wrong, but...but..."

Prince Chu shook his head and sighed, "I should have told you earlier, otherwise, these things would not have happened."

The night before the late emperor died, he secretly summoned Prince Chu into the palace. The late emperor told Prince Chu that all the unknown dark guard forces are now in the hands of Shang Zhi. In addition to the known forces, he also has a royal dark guard army. They are scattered in military camps all over the country. Except for the dark guard talisman, no one can give orders. Every emperor has a royal dark guard around him. When he gets the dark guard talisman, the secret guard will tell the leader The leader will quietly go to check the authenticity of the soldier talisman, and will meet the emperor after confirmation.If it is false, they will kill everyone who knows the channel, and then send people to monitor the emperor, and if there is any discrepancy, they will be killed on the spot.

This is the ability and power of the Royal Dark Guard. From another perspective, although the Royal Dark Guard obeys the emperor, they only do what they are supposed to do. For the next emperor, in the final analysis, the Royal Dark Guard is an independent army, and what commands them is not only the soldier talisman, but also the status of Mingjun.

The list of unknown hidden guards given to Shang Zhi by the first emperor was actually to use Shang Zhi’s ability to find those unknown forces, because one day, the power of the hidden guards would be taken back by the Royal Dark Guards, and every hidden guard The commander will get this unknown list, and when the golden seal finds a specific dark guard, the Royal Dark Guard will take it from the previous gold seal holder and hand it over to the commander. Although they will get the commanding power of this dark guard in the future, but at the same time, they must gradually return the power to the emperor, otherwise, the royal dark guards will directly massacre all over the house, and the leader of the dark guards will inform them of the consequences when sending the golden seal , This golden seal, whether you dare to accept it or not, is up to you.

In the past two years, Zhao Xingzhi's actions have indeed gone too far, so although the dark guards knew about Shang Zhi's series of deeds, they did not stop them or provide assistance. After all, they have always been loyal to the royal family. Mingjun" excuse, but if you help the other party, you will be a traitor.

Ding Guogong was the one who got the golden seal last time, and Shang Zhi got the golden seal after Du Changan, who found Jiang An, returned to Beijing last time, so Ding Guogong understood Shang Zhi when he saw Shang Zhi holding the golden seal. After all, it can be said that Shang Zhi is a sympathetic fellow. If Shang Zhi hadn't been reused by the late emperor, he might be the one who splashed blood on the Golden Temple today.

Zhao Xingzhi felt very uncomfortable, "So, she will never be my threat from the beginning?"

Prince Chu nodded, "Both the late emperor and I believed that you would do no wrong, and he told me that all this was just in case, in case Shang Zhi threatened you with Concubine Xian and Wan Tong, the late emperor would come I will believe you even if I die. But now it seems that we have not only misjudged the wrong person, but also believed in the wrong person."

Zhao Xingzhi suddenly thought of what he said to Su Chanli on the night of the late emperor's death. Thinking about it now, it's really ironic.At that time, he did have doubts about Shang Zhi, and thought about having a good talk with her, but he changed his mind after seeing the Dark Guard Talisman: Cheng Shangzhi is the commander of the Dark Guard, and now he is a big threat no matter how you look at it, it should have been earlier It is better to remove power.At that time, there was no killing heart, but the seeds were planted. Slowly, when Zhao Xingzhi discovered that the power in Shang Zhi's hands was really strong, the seed called killing heart still germinated. From then on, it grew into a towering tree. Out of control.

Prince Chu left after finishing what he had to say. He couldn't help with the affairs of the harem, and he couldn't control the emperor's heart. He had already done what he could do. Next, it was up to Shang Zhi's own fortune.

Zhao Xingzhi just planned to follow Shang Zhi to see him, but now, how can he still have that face, and went all the way to the imperial study room in a daze, and only ordered, "If Miss Cheng comes safely, just let me know." He wanted to make up for it Yes, but I don't have that face.However, this face came very quickly, not only just right, but also very timely.
