Shadow Guard stand-in

A few words, sonorous and powerful.

The entire South Study Room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle falling could be heard.

He Jue shocked everyone present, every word he uttered showed the weight of Jin Jiuye in his heart.

However this is not enough.

"You haven't seen how many injuries Jin Jiuye suffered, and you don't know how many times he has stepped into the gate of hell, so you think it's easy to kill someone in his hands! Take the assassination case of King Li a few days ago, who of you can do that?" The case was solved? Is it Dali Temple, or your Qin Siqing? None of you can! It was Jin Jiuye who chased the murderer for thousands of miles, and it was Jin Jiuye who wanted to bring the man's body back even though he was wounded all over his body. It's Jin Jiuye..."

He Jue paused, his cold and majestic eyes swept over the faces of all the people present.

"It's Jin Jiuye. No matter what order I give, he will definitely be able to complete it. And you, who can do it? There are those who steal, rape and play tricks, there are those who violate the law, and there are those who evade incompetence." , There are people who are passive and negligent! As for Jin Jiuye, the bleeding from the wound on his body still can't stop..."

He Jue took a long breath, and concealed the choking in his voice without any trace, "I don't care what you think or what people in the world say, but with me, Jin Jiuye cannot be discussed."

"The government affairs of the court are my business. If it is not done well, it is my fault and has nothing to do with Jin Jiuye. Xuan Yisi's actions are ruthless, and Jin Jiuye kills people like hemp. He is carrying out my orders and has nothing to do with Jin Jiuye. The night has nothing to do with it. I am here to tell you, please think about it.”

At the last sentence, He Jue whispered softly. Without looking at anyone, he turned and walked out the door.

"This... this..." Qin Zhen sat staggeringly, leaning on the armrest of the chair, unable to speak.

Several ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, speechless.

Old Qi Ge and Qi Lezhi exchanged glances, Qi Lezhi hurriedly said his farewell, and chased He Jue out first.

"Your Majesty..." Qi Lezhi ran after He Jue, and He Jue asked, "What are you doing here?"

Qi Lezhi took a breath, and followed He Jue's pace to the Hall of Qinzheng, "Master Qin is outspoken. He has scolded his ministers since he was a child. Which of the children of this family is not afraid of him? He is in a hurry today. Your Majesty, please don't worry." Take it to heart."

"He said Jin Jiuye, and he said it too badly." He Jue was still angry and walked quickly, "You should know what kind of person Jin Jiuye is, Le Zhi, how can you tolerate him like this? Nonsense?"

Qi Lezhi repeatedly said yes, and said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty's anger this time shocked my father, and this did not make me follow. Although I thought that Your Majesty was right, after all, Lord Qin is The elders of the three dynasties..."

He Jue had a sense of propriety in his heart, so he understood when he mentioned this, and then sighed, "Yes, I have always known that old stubborn temper, and he was considered good in the old family. Back then, I was not a eldest son or a concubine, and the concubine came to the throne In order not to be criticized by others, he was the one who scolded those old moths of the aristocratic family back with one tongue, and scolded me so badly that he couldn't say a word, and because of this, he broke his throat and drank soup for half a month."

"Exactly." Qi Lezhi echoed, "Your Majesty has always been grateful for Lord Qin's kindness."

Hearing the word kindness, the words "repaying kindness with kindness" suddenly appeared in He Jue's mind, and he couldn't help but glance at Qi Lezhi.That face was so familiar, but suddenly he felt a little strange, not like the person in his impression.

This feeling came suddenly and inexplicably, he had no time to figure it out, so he had to put it aside.

"He is the uncle of the empress mother and the leader of the Qin family. With him in charge of the Taifu Temple, no one dares to steal or play tricks. The national treasury has been in surplus for several years, and the tax money is used every year. It stands to reason that I don't want it. You should argue with him face-to-face, that's a shame for him. But..."

He Jue frowned, and said hesitantly, "Anyone can do the things of the light and the moon, and get a reputation for dedication, but what about those secret dirty things? Le Zhi, you have been the Imperial College since childhood. Companion reading, don’t you know what the first emperor looked like when he was in power? Father and son suspected brothers to kill each other, how many jokes were made in the royal family, and the folks have become a trend, and there is still a little bit of friendship? The chaos of the five kings was not without reason, It's not just luck that I'm alive."

Qi Lezhi was silent, the chaos of the five kings was the death of the country, he couldn't say it, the first emperor was the king of the country, he couldn't discuss it.

Seeing that the Hall of Qinzheng was approaching, he slowly said, "Jin Jiuye is His Majesty's shadow guard, and what His Majesty said is his duty. If it weren't for the intrigue and fighting in the early years, the late emperor would not have established the life and death camp. Your Majesty will not be able to see the current Lord Shadow Guard anymore."

"You..." He Jue suddenly stopped, as if he couldn't believe it, and then he sneered, "You are indebted to the late emperor, and the late emperor treated you like a son-in-law. Qi Ge always protects your innocence. I can't blame you today. you go."

"Your Majesty..." Qi Lezhi said anxiously, "What I said is the truth."

"The truth?" He Jue closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "Yes, it's all the truth. Qi Lezhi, do you know that when I was young, I wanted to get close to you, to those holy, pure white things that are not stained? A trace of dust, I even thought about it at that time, if I am not the prince, what if I am the son of the elder Qi Ge?"

Opening his eyes, He Jue stared at Qi Lezhi, "Even you think Jin Jiuye won't hurt if he doesn't have a heart, right?"

"No, sir..." Qi Lezhi wanted to explain, but He Jue waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to say anything.

He walked towards the Hall of Qinzheng, took two steps, Qi Lezhi didn't follow, he just stayed where he was, and said softly: "I don't mean that."

After all, the moment He Jue heard these words, He Jue still stopped, did not leave him behind, and only sighed in his heart.

Qi Lezhi came up to meet him, and heard He Jue's voice like a sigh, "Jin Jiuye is also a person, you are not wrong, maybe I am biased."

Qi Lezhi smiled, as if the words just now had never been said, "That's Mr. Shadow Guard, and he should be biased."

He Jue also pulled out a smile, and his tone was as usual, "Yes, he is my best brother."

"Just brothers?" Qi Lezhi's tone was a bit strange.

He Jue glanced sideways at Qi Lezhi, and suddenly his heart ached, and he couldn't tell what it was like.

He suddenly nodded, "Not just brothers."

Maybe it was just a subconscious answer, maybe he didn't understand what he was talking about, maybe he understood, but at this moment, only three words popped up in his mind, fellow travelers.

In the past few decades, and the next few decades, at this moment, he only felt that he was the only one left in the world.

The majestic palace, the palace servants are in a hurry.

Qi Lezhi in front of him also drifted into nothingness.

No one in this world walks with him, and no one returns with him.Parents, relatives and friends won't, brothers and sisters won't, court officials won't, and Qi Lezhi won't either.

Only Jin Jiuye, this man, always followed behind him.

He never questioned himself, let alone betrayed himself, he was always pious, always loyal, always trusting, and always regarded death as home.

This is not only his life and death brother, but also his - fellow traveler.

"It will be Qin Zhen's birthday in a few days, and I will personally prepare a birthday gift for him." He Jue said, giving Qi Lezhi and Qi Ge an answer.

He was right, he would not apologize or make amends, but the dignity of the elders of the three dynasties must always be given, otherwise how would Qin Zhen gain a foothold in Taifu Temple in the future?

Stepping into the Hall of Qinzheng, Qi Lezhi stopped there, one inside the hall and one outside.In a daze, He Jue felt that the threshold was like a gully between him and Qi Lezhi, torn apart so unreal.

how so?Ten years of friendship.

He Jue waved his hand, signaling the other party to leave.

He hurried into the warm pavilion.

The imperial dining room just delivered lunch, and the little palace man carrying the food box was presenting the plate. Jin Jiuye stood upright in black, took a book, and turned two pages. The sunlight outside the window shone on his face, It was as if his whole body was covered with light.

He Jue saw such a scene when he entered the door, he only saw Jin Jiuye's profile.

The man sat right where he was, and the servant who was serving him knelt down with a plop, "Your Majesty."

Jin Jiuye got up at the sound and saluted.

He Jue looked Jin Jiuye up and down, then glanced at the dining table, and then looked around the room, everything was as usual.

Nothing wrong.

"Why did you call me back?" He Jue asked.

Jin Jiuye subconsciously squeezed the book in his hand, and said sullenly: "It's lunch time."

He Jue looked at Jin Jiuye's expression, but didn't speak.

Jin Jiuye panicked for a moment, but he couldn't tell where he panicked, as if he had never felt this way when he was surrounded by powerful enemies.

No, it's not panic, it's a guilty conscience.

He Jue could also see clearly that this girl was fine at all, but somehow she wanted to call him back from the Tai Chi Hall, really to have lunch with him?

However, the lunch on the table was only for Jin Jiuye, and it was all medicinal food.

Following His Majesty's instructions, the Imperial Dining Room had already prepared lunch for the South Study Room. At this moment, the little palace man was prostrate on the ground, feeling He Jue's pressure, and did not dare to get up for a while.

"You asked me to come back to eat this?" He Jue dismissed the medicine-smelling thing, and he signaled the little palace servants present to get up, "You, go and order the imperial dining room, I will have lunch at the Qinzheng Palace today."

The little palace man hurriedly responded and ran away.

There were only He Jue and Jin Jiuye in the room. He Jue reached out and took the book in Jin Jiuye's hand, "Biography of Concubine Wen?"

Jin Jiuye remained silent.

"Where did you see it?" He Jue flipped through it casually, and found a place with obvious creases, and a noteworthy record on the page fell into He Jue's eyes.

After reading it in a few moments, He Jue couldn't help laughing.

Then he looked up at Jin Jiuye's face, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

On Jin Jiuye's usually expressionless face, there was a hint of bewilderment.

Looking at each other, He Jue asked, "Are you imitating Concubine Wen?"

Jin Jiuye should be, hesitatingly said: "The master said last night, let the subordinates be more unrestrained and act like a favorite concubine."

"Very good." He Jue laughed loudly, pressed the booklet on the table, and clasped his knuckles, "It's good to follow the example."

Hearing this, Jin Jiuye's heart suddenly stopped panicking, and was as quiet as usual, like a pool of stagnant water.

The two sat down, although He Jue didn't like the taste of Jin Jiuye's medicinal food, but he was unbearably hungry, and he didn't care about other things, so he picked some favorite food to put on the cushion first.

"I had a quarrel with Qi Lezhi today." He Jue drank the hot chicken soup, sweating from his forehead.

Jin Jiuye asked: "Master, do you have a letter for your subordinates to send to Young Master Qi?"

He Jue shook his head, "I feel very lonely."

"Come on, let me see your hands." Jin Jiuye spread out his right hand, palm facing up.

These are a pair of hands that will kill countless people. These hands are dripping with blood, and they are the murderers in Qin Zhen's mouth.

He Jue held the opponent's fingertips and pulled those hands to his eyes, carefully traced the traces of the lines, and finally pinched the corners of his mouth, "The calluses are so thick and ugly."

Jin Jiuye: "..."

What beauty can there be in a man's hand?

I don't know what kind of atmosphere was exaggerated between the two, He Jue tightly squeezed Jin Jiuye's hand, and then let go.

I wanted to say something for a lifetime, but when I saw Jin Jiuye's face, I suddenly remembered that Jin Jiuye had sworn to follow him for the rest of his life.

There are some things that need not be said.

He Jue changed his words, and raised the corners of his lips slightly, "Brother Ye, you know that you are so proud just now, it's really interesting."

Jin Jiuye: "..."

His expression was cracked.

Is this a joke?Concubine Chong seems to be like this, don't make a fuss, the master can say whatever he wants.

He Jue didn't expect to say such a sentence, he just expressed his feelings.Even though he confronted the cabinet ministers in the South Study Room, and fought with Qi Lezhi secretly on the road, but when he entered the Hall of Qinzheng, he couldn't help laughing when he saw Jin Jiuye's appearance, and he didn't want to say anything more about the outside world.

Could it be that this is the behavior of a foolish king? Could he also become a foolish king?

But what this stupid gentleman did was indeed too comfortable and satisfactory.

Jin Jiuye ate food in silence, as if he hadn't heard anything.

He Jue also ate in silence, as if he hadn't said anything.

The palace servants of the imperial dining room brought in the food box again, and He Jue found that he was already full, stuffing all the food he didn't like into his stomach.

He asked Jin Jiuye: "Are you still hungry?"

Jin Jiuye stayed in the hall for a whole day, and didn't go out to do things to waste his energy, so he was naturally not hungry, so he shook his head.

He Jue: "..."

The two looked at each other, and after a long while, he waved his hand with a serious expression on his face.

"The lunch will be withdrawn, and the reward will be given to everyone who is on duty in the Imperial Dining Room, Tai Chi Hall, and Qinzheng Hall today."

The emperor's imperial food had standard specifications, and it wasn't just the little palace man who delivered the food, there were four in a row, each with a big food box.Among them was an old palace man who watched He Jue grow up.

The old palace man couldn't help persuading: "How can your majesty not eat, the dragon's body is the most important thing!"

He Jue pressed his stomach silently, it was very round, and it really couldn't fit in the slightest bit.

He glanced at Jin Jiuye again, and Jin Jiuye shook his head.

"Leave a cup of soup, and remove the rest."

The old palace people couldn't do it. A slave can't force his master to do something, he can only shake his head and sigh.

"let's go."

The heartbroken look on his face made He Jue think that he had made a big mistake.

Didn't he just eat the medicated diet of Mr. Shadow Guard?

what happened again.

Oh, no, he seems to have molested Lord Shadow Guard.
