hold this little monk

Bi Kong followed the little eunuch who walked Neiba to the Imperial Garden, and before he could go there, he heard the voices of a group of men.

After the empress came to court, she often mingled with a group of noodle bosses in the imperial garden. In the early years, some loyal officials kept going to the court, accusing your majesty of supporting other men with a big fanfare, and openly cuckolding the late emperor. The act of raising a man in the harem.

There was a folk tale that beautified the Queen's behavior of robbing her own son Jiangshan when her offspring were not strong enough, and turned it into a love saying: In order to protect your Jiangshan, I would like to be suspected and suspected by thousands of Li people in future generations .

This remark was quite popular back then, but the facts were not satisfactory. For His Majesty, her taking this country has nothing to do with her husband who loves men far more than women. As a woman, she can From the position of concubine to the throne of the dragon chair after all the painstaking efforts, in the end, people still think that she sacrificed herself for love?

She had always sneered at such speculations.

Seeing the laughter and frolicking in the imperial garden, the little servant looked nervously at King Yi's expression, lest the young His Highness would rush in rashly to play his temper.

This Prince Yi is the late emperor's grandson after all, seeing his grandma cuckolding his grandpa, he probably feels bad in his heart, right?

The little servant was thinking, but Bi Kong didn't care, he knew that his grandmother had no relationship with the late emperor, otherwise His Majesty would not persecute his children and grandchildren so cruelly after he ascended the throne.

Almost at the same time, His Majesty also saw him standing far away. She raised her hand and made a gesture of silence.Immediately, those easy wanton laughter disappeared.

"Come here." The empress squinted her eyes slightly, squinting at him, her majesty was self-evident.

"Your Majesty." Bi Kong responded and approached.It is true that His Majesty treats him much better than the Eldest Princess, but there is a lot of sternness in that kind of love. Her love for Ming An is purely the feeling between grandparents and grandchildren, but it is not the same for him.

The queen backed away, and only one or two eunuchs remained. The eunuch standing next to her was Wu Zhongqian, who was being flattered by many people. He looks like a reckless warrior, but because he has always been loyal to His Majesty and capable of doing things, he has become His Majesty's right-hand man.

Wu Zhongqian has always been a dragon who sees the head but does not see the end. This is the first time Bi Kong saw a real person. Wu Zhongqian is not as cunning as the legend says. At least when he noticed the sight of this little highness, he returned a gentle smile. .

His eyes did not stay on Wu Zhongqian for too long, he only heard His Majesty say coldly: "Treason."

She was so straightforward when she came, Bi Kong couldn't figure out what His Majesty was thinking, so he could only kneel down first: "Your Majesty, calm down."

"Aren't you very calm?" The Queen suddenly smiled and said, "Li Qing puts a big hat on you for treason, and you just close your eyes and rest."

"Your Majesty, that painting was made by Xiaoxuan on Jinxiu Mountain when my minister and grandson were in Changle, but the painting used was brought by someone else. Master Xiaoxuan has absolutely nothing to do with the people of Yueguo." Bi Kong said slowly.

His Majesty said with a half-smile: "Just because he was implicated in this matter, you would rather they slander you in court than stand up and explain the real reason?"

There was something in her words, and Bi Kong unconsciously became vigilant: "Master Xiaoxuan has always done his best for the country, and the ministers don't want to see him being slandered. The second is that the ins and outs of the matter are quite complicated and involve a little bit more. Go to the imperial study, and the minister and grandson will explain in detail."

There are many flowers and plants in the imperial garden. It is a good place to enjoy the flowers and watch the moon and talk about love, but it is not a good place to talk about business. Besides, there are two eunuchs standing beside the empress. Hiding other forces.

His Majesty gave him a deep look, as if he wanted to explore the secrets in his heart, the two of them stalemate for a while, and finally ended with His Majesty's concession, and a group of people moved to the imperial study.

Not long after they walked, suddenly two heads poked out from behind Tengman's shelf, one was dressed plainly, his face was pale and his lips were white from nervousness, the other was wearing the court dress of Ziling Palace, a little excited about doing something bad.

These two people are Ming An and Xiao Xuan.

At that time, Ming An went back to his yard alone with his head downcast. Xiaoxuan thought something was wrong even after thinking about it. He just happened to be going into the harem to deliver a painting for a concubine, so he took Ming An in. When he came out, he deliberately After detouring a long way, wanting to get closer to Ming An, he came to the Imperial Garden, but he didn't expect such a coincidence, first the empress came over suddenly with a mask, and then Bi Kong followed the eunuch.

It was the first time for Xiaoxuan to hear this kind of corner that might lose his head, he just felt excited, but Ming An was different, he didn't know if it was because of listening to the corner of the emperor or some other reason, he was as nervous as a frightened bird.

"Your Highness, he should be alright?" Ming An panicked.

Xiao Xuan paid attention to his expression, and said with a half smile but not a smile: "If he really colluded with the people of Yue Kingdom, then something will happen. Hanging, I told you."

Xiaoxuan uses his own family to make up stories to scare people, and he doesn't feel guilty at all.As he expected, Ming An swallowed his saliva, his eyes were erratic, as if he would become immortal in the next second.

"Ming An, why are you so pale?" Xiaoxuan took a handkerchief to wipe off his sweat, and gently patted his shoulder as if comforting, with a little deep meaning in his words, "You can tell me what's on your mind. Mine, if there is something that I didn’t take good care of, or if I have any troubles, it would be much better to say it.”

Ming An froze for a moment, looking like a fish about to go to the chopping board, suddenly his voice choked up, and he said in a choked voice, "I, I just thought of my former brother... Brother, he was also wronged, wronged, and he was wronged. I left my hometown, I, I... Brother Xiaoxuan, can I ask you a question?"

"Say it." Xiaoxuan automatically ignored the string of stuttering stories in front of him.

Ming An was silent for a long time, and when he gathered enough courage, he finally asked: "If you do something, you will die, or if you don't do it, you will die, will you do it?"

Hearing the endless questions, Xiaoxuan blinked, and said indifferently: "Is this kind of problem bothering you? Nonsense, I definitely don't do it."

"why?"

"I'm lazy." Xiaoxuan was very straightforward, "I'll die if I don't do it, so why should I do it? I'm not a Bodhisattva."

Ming An: "..."

He was speechless.

"Besides, how do you know that you will definitely die? There may be life hidden in the dead end, but you didn't see it yourself." Xiao Xuan said lightly.

He suddenly felt that his imitation of Bi Kong's appearance was still very precise.

Hearing Ming An's seemingly gibberish words, Xiaoxuan faintly felt that Ming An was hiding a huge secret.Now he even suspected that Ming An had colluded with the Yue people, or that An was a spy sent by the Yue people... If this idea had appeared in his mind yesterday, he might have suspected that he was crazy.

But even now, with the idea in his head, he feels like he's bewildered.

After all, Ming An is so thin, weak and timid, and his mind is not flexible, why would the people of Yue Kingdom choose him... Are those old men sitting in the resplendent palace of Yue Kingdom crazy?

"Vitality? Vitality..." Ming An murmured and repeated these two words, looking up at the sky, no one knew what he was thinking.

This day, Ming An spent in a trance, he didn't know how he ate and bathed, and he didn't know when it was dark, he was sitting in his room all the time, looking at the Tiantian sky in the distance, With tears in his eyes, at this moment he suddenly missed his hometown, his mother, and his legendary father who was extremely brave.

No matter how good his father is or how prosperous this place is, this is not his home.

Under the intrusion of countless messy thoughts, Ming An tiredly turned on the lamp and climbed onto the bed. Suddenly, all the dim lights went out, and only faint moonlight came in through the cracks in the window. In the quiet and dark environment, his mind was full of thoughts and emotions. Nothing, for some reason the word "hanging" suddenly entered his thoughts, and he couldn't leave for a long time.

Autumn Meridian Gate... Hanging...

collusion... treason...

Fear was like a terrifying snake, crawling up from the bottom of his feet, wrapping around his whole body, making him dare not move easily, and dare not open his eyes easily.

It was in such an atmosphere that he tightly closed his eyes, and his other senses became more sensitive under the nervous and fearful mood.

Suddenly there was a "squeak", and he clearly heard his wooden window slamming.

"It's the wind, it's all the wind." Ming An repeated these words silently in his heart to numb his fearful heart.

It's a pity that Ye didn't let him go so easily. After the wooden window was opened, the sound of the wind blowing the leaves outside became even more frightening, and it was also mixed with the sound of the nocturnal owl.

"You...open...eyes..."

Ming An was wrapped in the quilt, and suddenly a hoarse voice sounded like his throat had been burned, which became the last straw that crushed him.

He was so frightened that his whole body went limp, and he even peed on the bed. He seemed to have arrived in some cold place, his upper and lower teeth were trembling, and he didn't even know how to scream.

His voice was trembling and tinged with tears: "What, what, I can't hear, I can't hear, I can't hear..."

"You can hear..."

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" Ming An's last rational nerve was cut off by a needle, and his cry for help was like thunder.

……

The air was stagnant and quiet for a moment, and just when Ming An thought that the unlucky thing was scared away by him, it appeared again.

"No one will save you. I was a soldier who fought on the battlefield ten years ago and died on the frontier. My ashes were thrown under the bed of you, a cowardly fellow, by a child. Hook up, step on the blood of us soldiers! You trash!"

The voice was terribly deep and hoarse, like the voice of a ghost walking around from hell. His speech was slow and heavy, making the listeners feel like Ling Chi.

Ming An hated that his body was too stubborn, and he still faced all this soberly.

"I, I... I didn't, and I didn't want to..." He was already crying in fright, and shivered under the quilt with his eyes closed, "It's all Mr. Wang! It's him, not me... I was forced, He gave uncle a lot of money, and grandma wants money for medical treatment, and I don’t want to live in this haunted palace, and send letters to those people, I don’t want to either! You go to that surnamed Wang and ask for your life!”

The sound of his weeping filled the small room, and the moonlight shone all over the floor, clearly illuminating the appearance of the "ghost" in his room. The "ghost" was covered with a huge white cloth, which looked like If Ming An has the courage to open his eyes and climb out of the blanket to take a look at the huge floating ghost, he will know how fake this "ghost" is.

Xiaoxuan fell silent through the cloth.This news was too successful, and it was so successful that people were a little overwhelmed.With a stern face, he took off the fabric, tiptoed over, and lifted Ming An's quilt abruptly.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

Ming An picked up the pillow and slammed it at him violently, making Xiaoxuan roll his eyes and back away again and again.

God, he should have lit the lamp first!

Xiaoxuan looked at the strange man waving the pillow on the bed, sighed and shook his head, first lit the lamp, and then slammed the table violently, the man on the bed stopped moving, tremblingly opened his eyes.

Ming An opened his eyes, but he didn't see any ghosts, but his face turned even paler.

Xiaoxuan waved to him, and said with a smirk: "That's right, you're quite courageous. I thought you'd faint from fright and leave me no clues."
