This shadow guard, you are enlightened

The courtiers were settled, but there was still the Queen Mother to pass. Xing Chenmu asked Xing Chenxiu to leave the morning court and go directly to Xuanming Palace. What he thought in his heart was to let Xing Chenxiu accompany him to meet the Queen Mother while Zhuo Ying was not around today, All the things that should be confessed have been told to the queen mother first, even if the queen mother wants to get angry, she can finish it with him first, and then take Zhuo Ying to see her later.

But who would have thought that Xing Chenxiu was stopped by other ministers to ask about the male concubine, and he couldn't get away temporarily, but Zhuo Ying arrived at Xuanming Hall first.

After Zhuo Ying fell asleep, seeing that Xing Chenmu hadn't returned, she was worried, so she didn't sleep anymore, put on her clothes and went out to look for someone.

The news of the morning court has not been transmitted back to the Chengyang Hall, Zhuo Ying arrived in front of the Xuanming Hall and was greeted by Yan Qing, still in a daze, not knowing what happened.

Yan Qing originally thought that this matter was discussed between Xing Chenmu and Zhuo Ying, but seeing that he didn't understand, she immediately smiled and said: "The slave can't talk about it, Master Zhuo should ask His Majesty himself."

Zhuo Ying had no choice but to push the door and step into Xuan Ming Hall.

Xing Chenmu was reading the memorial, at first he thought it was Xing Chenxiu who had come, but he didn't raise his head until Zhuo Ying walked to the case and saluted, he stood up in surprise: "Why don't you take a longer rest?"

"My Majesty hasn't come back, my subordinates are a little worried." Zhuo Ying said truthfully.

Xing Chenmu knew that he was worried about others, so he waved his hand to let Gongsun Jing and the rest of the serving eunuchs retreat out, and then stepped forward to hug him: "Blame me, I should go back to rest with us A Ying after the morning court .”

After Zhuo Ying returned to the palace, he brought back the silver half mask. His temperament was much cooler than when he was outside the palace, but he was always very shy when facing Xing Chenmu. He pursed his lips for a while and asked, "Why did Eunuch Yan Congratulate me outside the door?"

"It's really time to say congratulations." Xing Chenmu smiled and didn't say anything directly. Instead, he led him around the table and took out Zhang Minghuang's imperial decree, "I originally wanted to bring it back to you in person, but since you're here, I will give it to you now."

"Give, give me the imperial decree?"

Xing Chenmu nodded with a smile, and stopped Zhuo Ying when he lifted up his robe and was about to kneel down to accept the decree, and directly stuffed the decree into his hands, urging: "Look quickly."

Zhuo Ying opened the imperial decree, glanced at it a few times, and her eyes were red immediately.

Xing Chenmu hugged him, and kissed him from the side of the face to the base of the ear along the edge of the half face, and then put the small earlobe that was already red in his mouth: "Do you like it?"

Zhuo Ying moved her lips, but couldn't utter a single word. Xing Chenmu didn't care, and stretched out his hand on his back to comfort him.

It took him a long time to find his own voice and said, "I like it, but it's just a little sudden, why didn't Mu'er tell me in advance?"

How could she not like it? Zhuo Ying has been dreaming about this day ever since she understood her intentions.

"Not suddenly, I've been waiting for too long, if you didn't insist, I really want to make you the queen."

Just as he was talking, Yan Qing's voice came from outside, it was Xing Chenxiu who had arrived, Xing Chenmu let Zhuo Ying go, and wanted to say something, but saw Zhuo Ying instinctively jumped up the next moment and hid in the dark.

"Brother, why are you hiding here?" Xing Chenmu shook his head helplessly, but he also knew that Zhuo Ying needed to calm down, so he let him down and didn't let him come down immediately.

Xing Chenxiu knew why Xing Chenmu invited him over, but he still asked with a smile: "The Holy Majesty won't go back to accompany Concubine Zhuo at this time, why do you still have the time to find a humble minister to catch up on the past?"

Facing his elder brother, Xing Chenmu didn't go around in circles, "Brother Wang, can you accompany me to meet the queen mother?"

"The Holy Majesty was so majestic in the court hall just now, how come he doesn't even dare to go to Zhengquan Palace now."

Xing Chenmu showed a bit of embarrassment: "Brother Wang, don't make fun of me, I'm really afraid of making my mother angry."

The late emperor had many heirs, but the empress dowager had only one son and two daughters.The two princesses on 16th and [-]th have already married out of the palace, so they cannot be with the queen mother all the time. If there is a conflict between mother and child, apart from Xing Chenxiu, there is not even one person who can make peace in this huge palace, so whether Xing Chenmu No matter how fearless and fearless he is to the outside world, he still cannot avoid worrying when he comes to the Empress Dowager.

"Since I'm afraid that my mother won't be able to accept it, why doesn't your majesty change the legal system first, and then discuss the canonization of Lord Zhuo after everyone adapts to the new law?"

"If I change the legal system first and then become a concubine, wouldn't I have to be annoyed twice by those old stubborn people? What's more, I have waited for this matter for too long, and I really don't want to wait any longer." Xing Chenmu had hesitated before this matter, and finally decided He doesn't regret what he did now.

Xing Chenxiu knew that Zhuo Ying would not leave Xing Chenmu's side now, so he raised his head and smiled and asked, "What does Master Zhuo think?"

Only a clear voice above the beam answered: "This subordinate is willing to listen to the arrangement of the Holy One."

Xing Chenxiu originally wanted to scare the two of them, but now seeing that one of them is planning a plan and the other is indifferent, it is really boring, so he truthfully explained: "I just confessed my relationship with A Yan to my mother a few days ago, and my mother did not object. , I think in the heart of the queen mother, the health and happiness we can live is more important than anything else."

"You already said it?" This was something Xing Chenmu hadn't thought of before he came back, "Then your marriage to General Wei..."

"It's still short of Lord Hou's pass, but the imperial decree from the Holy Majesty is really timely."

Xing Chenmu was in a hurry to get together with Zhuo Ying in a legitimate way. Thinking about it, Xing Chenxiu must also want to marry Wei Yan as soon as possible. Xing Chenxiu has always done things properly, so Xing Chenmu didn't ask any more questions, let Zhuo Ying come down, and the three of them went to Zhengquan Palace together .

After leaving the Chengyang Palace and walking a few more steps, Xing Chenmu suddenly stopped and slapped his forehead lightly: "Why did I almost forget him?"

Seeing this, Xing Chenxiu also stopped: "Who?"

"Besides Brother Wang, there is another person who can make Queen Mother happy." Xing Chenmu turned his head and said to Zhuo Ying, "A Ying, let's go to Queen Mother's place first, and you go back to Mingying Palace and take Nineteen there."

Lu Xian is the empress dowager's nephew. The empress dowager misses her mother's family, so she is naturally happy to see him. Lu Xian is in the palace, so he can often go to talk to the empress dowager in the future.

"Yes!"

After Zhuo Ying understood, she immediately turned around and went to Mingying Palace, but when she arrived at Mingying Palace, she was told that Lu Xian was not in the palace now.

"Where did he go?"

The shadow guard who was being questioned glanced at Zhuo Ying, hesitated, as if he was afraid that Lu Xian would be punished, Zhuo Ying calmed down a little and asked, "How is his injury recovering?"

"It's almost recovered, but I'm afraid it will return to the original..."

Just as Zhuo Ying expected before, Lu Xian was seriously injured, and his skills could no longer be as flexible as before. He nodded and said, "I'm looking for him for business. Where did he go?"

"Nineteen is going to protect Gongsun Shanggong." The man said cautiously after finishing speaking, "Nineteen is still in the Shadow Guard Army, carrying out the orders of the Holy Majesty, Lord Zhuo will not punish him, will he?"

When Gongsun Jing helped Xing Chenmu deceive Ning Jie and the others, Xing Chenmu was worried that if there were any remaining parties in the palace, they would take the opportunity to retaliate against Gongsun Jing, so before leaving, he specially ordered the Shadow Guards to protect Gongsun Jing's safety.

It's just that there are still many people in the Shadow Guards staying in the palace, Zhuo Ying doesn't understand why this matter will fall on Lu Xian who is just recovering from serious injuries.

"Actually, a few days ago, Gongsun Shanggong came to Mingying Palace to take care of Nineteen. After Nineteen recovered, he proposed to replace him to protect Gongsun Shanggong. Just now when Gongsun Shanggong returned from Xuanming Palace to the courtyard where he lived, ten Nine days have passed, and I have not returned yet."

After they left the palace, Gongsun Jing originally went to find Lu Xian to settle the score. After all, Lu Xian talked nonsense in front of Zhuo Ying, causing Zhuo Ying to almost misunderstand her relationship with Xing Chenmu, but she never expected that Lu Xian would be hurt like that Not to mention that Lu Xian was so seriously injured that he could still bicker with her as if nothing had happened. In the end, he vomited blood because of lack of energy, scaring her so much that she lost two and a half souls.

During the days when Zhuo Ying went to the Zhenbei Army, Lu Xian was always by Xing Chenmu's side, and had a lot of contact with Gongsun Jing. Although Gongsun Jing was angry with him for talking nonsense, she didn't really intend to kill him, and she hurriedly shouted After getting married, he invited the imperial physician, and after that, I don't know whether it was out of guilt or other emotions, so he often went to Mingying Palace to take care of Lu Xian.

Mingying Palace originally did not allow outsiders to come in and out at will, but Gongsun Jing is also a member of the Gongsun family, and works next to the emperor, and the imperial physician also feels that a group of thick-handed and thick-footed men in Mingying Palace are really taking care of them. Not a good patient, so everyone acquiesced in Gongsun Jing's entry and exit.

Gongsun Jing and Lu Xian became acquainted with each other after a while, and after Lu Xian recovered, he took the initiative to take over the responsibility of protecting Gongsun Jing.

Zhuo Ying was worried about Xing Chenmu in his heart, and after knowing the whole story, he didn't say much, and continued to look for Lu Xian.

As the shadow guard said, Lu Xian was indeed at Gongsun Jing's residence. Not only that, when Zhuo Ying came to find him, the two seemed to be bickering.

Zhuo Ying listened to Lu Xian from a distance: "I don't care about you little girl."

"I'm too lazy to argue with stinky men like you?" Gongsun Jing yelled.

Zhuo Ying was a little surprised. In his heart, Gongsun Jing had always been a very modest and well-bred woman from an aristocratic family. She even spoke softly. I don't know what Lu Xian said before, which made her so popular.

Lu Xian also quickly noticed Zhuo Ying's approach, shut his mouth immediately, jumped in front of Zhuo Ying a few times, bowed his head and saluted: "Lord Zhuo."

Zhuo Ying looked at Lu Xian and said indifferently: "Nineteen, why don't you recuperate in Mingying Palace and come here to quarrel with Gongsun Shanggong?"

"The wound on my subordinate's body has healed." Lu Xian glanced at Zhuoying secretly after speaking, feeling apprehensive in his heart, and immediately said, "This subordinate knows his mistake."

"Well, follow me to a place first." Zhuo Ying walked out after speaking.

Gongsun Jing thought that Zhuo Ying was going to punish him, and after a little hesitation, she trotted to stop the two of them: "Master Zhuo, Nineteen came to protect me according to the order of the Holy One after I recovered from my injury, and it did not violate the Shadow Guards. in the regulations."

Zhuo Ying raised her eyebrows slightly, looked at Lu Xian and then at Gongsun Jing: "Gongsun Shanggong misunderstood, I have a personal matter and I want to ask Nineteen for help, Nineteen, you go with me first, I will explain to you on the way .”

"Don't dare, don't dare! Master Zhuo can tell you anything." Lu Xian was puzzled, but he followed Zhuo Ying's footsteps immediately.

Gongsun Jing put down her hand in embarrassment, and cursed in a low voice at the back of the man who left without looking back: "Bastard, I'm stupid to worry about you."

How could she have imagined that this distance was nothing to the two people in front of her, so her words naturally fell into their ears exactly.

Lu Xian immediately bent his mouth when he heard this, while Zhuo Ying looked thoughtfully at the fallen leaves on the ground.

Even though it was late autumn, he somehow felt the warmth of spring and the flowers blooming.

The author has something to say: Lu Xian: You are worried about me, I heard it

Zhuo Ying: I heard that too
