Shadow Guard stand-in

Four hours ago, it was the wee hours of the morning.Before dawn, a figure in black rolled into Yongshou Palace vigorously.

Jin Jiuye lay on the bed, opened his eyes in an instant, he noticed it, but didn't make any movement.The person who came was Lin Jiyuan, the dark guard of Xuanyi Division, and there was no danger.

"Boss, we found it. Dali Temple received a murder case yesterday. The victim lost his left hand."

Before Lin Jiyuan entered the door, Jin Jiuye got up and waited in the room, which was brightly lit with candles.He has a habit on weekdays to turn on the lights at night.

The darkness will keep him from sleeping, and he will get used to lurking in the dark.

"Is there any trace of the murderer?"

Lin Jiyuan said: "The file I got from my uncle showed that the murderer was masked and uniformly dressed to distinguish between men and women. There were three or four of them. They were armed with short knives and sharp blades. Their movements were well-trained and they were very agile."

This description is very similar to the prison robbers of that day, even though they only came to take away the left hand of a dead body.

Jin Jiuye nodded, "Is the victim still alive?"

Lin Jiyuan said: "It's the flying thief Jin Xiaoshou. This kid has provoked another case. That case is not clear. The government office below mentioned Dali Temple."

"Where is Little Jin Shou now?" Jin Jiuye asked.

Lin Jiyuan said: "I was detained by the Dali Temple. My subordinates have been in Dali Temple for the past few days with new cases. I haven't heard anything from the boss until last night. When we caught him, his left hand was still dripping." Blood, the whole person seemed to be in a daze, and the subordinate took a special look before coming down, and didn't say a word."

"Take the transfer order of Xuanyi and take over the case." Jin Jiuye ordered, but suddenly he changed his mind, "I'll go there in person and bring the person here. The transfer order needs to go through a process. It will take a long time for fear of long nights and dreams." .”

"Who dares to go wild in Dali Temple?" Lin Jiyuan was not that urgent, and glanced at the sky outside, "If you don't want to rest for a while, the boss, the subordinates will go back to Xuanyi to take the order. At dawn tomorrow, everyone Guaranteed to appear in Xuanyi Division's dungeon."

"No need." Jin Jiuye directly refused, he had a bad feeling, "You go back first, I will go to Dali Temple by myself, at this hour, you can't order them."

The assassination of King Li had a profound impact. Only because the murderer was dead, the previous dynasty settled down. However, if the new case involved behind it is not clarified as soon as possible, it may cause turmoil again.

"Boss..." Lin Jiyuan was a little worried, he clearly saw the gauze left by Jin Jiuye's dressing in the room, his injury was not healed yet.

Jin Jiuye glanced at him, "Obey the order."

"Yes." Lin Jiyuan complied helplessly, followed Jin Jiuye to perform light kung fu and left Yongshou Palace. Jin Jiuye stopped him when they parted, "You are not allowed to come to Yongshou Palace again, this is the harem, pay attention to your identity."

Lin Jiyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a sense of loss in his heart, "Does the boss want his subordinates to avoid suspicion?"

Jin Jiuye frowned when he heard the words, not knowing where the words came from.

"The harem is not the place where former courtiers should come."

"But..." Lin Jiyuan still wanted to say something, but Jin Jiuye had already taken a step ahead and left him far away.

Looking at the black shadow that was as strong as a flying eagle in the distance, Lin Jiyuan stopped for a long time, even though Jin Jiuye had long since disappeared from his sight, he still felt that the man looked so eye-catching under the sky and stars, it was Where the heart yearns.

Jin Jiu walked to the Supreme Harmony Gate at night, only to hear a bang behind his ear, and the sword came out of its sheath and attacked.

He dodged and looked back, it was Lin Chi.

Under the leadership of Lin Chi, dozens of Habayashi guards surrounded him.

"Master Shadow Guard, you are not allowed to leave the palace." Lin Chi withdrew his sword and saluted respectfully.

Jin Jiuye said with a cold face, "I have something important to do, and I have to leave the palace right now."

Lin Chi said with a straight face: "The night is not over and the sky is not yet dawn, Mr. Shadow Guard should wait for a while, and I will ask His Majesty for orders."

"I am entering and exiting the imperial palace by His Majesty's special order. Why did you stop me today?" He turned over the palace wall countless times, even if Habayashi Wei noticed it, he never stopped him. It has always been like this in the past, but today he changed his mind somehow.

Lin Zhi explained the reason: "Now Lord Yingwei is His Majesty's concubine. You should not even be in the harem, but because of your special status, you came to the Supreme Harmony Gate. What's more, Your Majesty said that in the past two months Master Wei wants to rest in the palace, if he wants to leave the palace, he must have his order."

Jin Jiuye was silent for a moment when he heard the words, as if he was thinking about something.

Just when Lin Chi thought that Jin Jiuye was about to give up, the cold-faced man in black said sternly, "I want to leave the palace, but you can't stop me."

"Yes." Lin Chi sighed, "The ministers and others are not the opponents of Lord Shadow Guard, but where the duty lies, I hope Lord will show mercy."

In the past, they turned a blind eye, one was because of His Majesty's connivance, and the other was because they couldn't stop it at all.

After a while, Jin Jiuye came out of the Taihe Gate, with the guards of the Habayashi behind him.

He went straight to Dali Temple, which was brightly lit and noisy with people.

Lin Siqing hadn't slept for two hours when he was woken up. Last night, his good nephew insisted on checking the files in Little Jin's hands, and pestered him for half the night. Now he woke up before dawn, which was a last resort. .

As soon as Jin Jiuye entered Dali Temple, he saw Lin Siqing standing at the gate with a slumped face. The old man's beard hadn't been groomed yet, and his official uniform was not properly dressed, so he probably came here in a hurry.

"Master Shadow Guard is here." He cupped his hands and saluted with a very respectful attitude, "That kid Ji Yuan has been with me for several days, and I knew it was the work of Xuanyi Division. As expected, Lord Shadow Guard came here in person today for the sake of gold. Little hands?"

Jin Jiuye nodded, "I'll pick him up."

"Secretary Xuanyi wants to mention someone, but this old man dare not refuse." Lin Siqing said, "It's just that person, Mr. Shadow Guard can't take him away."

Jin Jiuye quickly walked a few steps into the inner hall. Aside from the crowd, he saw that Wu Zuo was collecting the corpse, and that man... Lin Siqing walked over, pointed at the corpse and said, "He is Jin Xiaoshou, he is already dead, he committed suicide of."

"It's too late." Jin Jiuye's premonition was always correct, perhaps it was an intuition developed in the face of danger and pursuit over the years.

"Even if it's dead, I'll take the person away. According to the old rules, the corpse will be inspected by Xuan Yisi, so you don't have to do it."

"The case is also handed over?" Lin Siqing's eyes showed hope, obviously he did not want to get involved in this troublesome matter.

But Jin Jiuye said: "I only check Jin's little hand, the person who hurt him, and why he committed suicide."

Hearing this, Lin Siqing sighed, "This case is too complicated. If Secretary Xuanyi doesn't accept it, it may be difficult for Dali Temple to find out."

Jin Jiuye's heart moved, according to his past habits, he might have accepted it, but now...he shook his head, but still refused, "No, I have to go back and plead guilty when I leave the palace today."

When it came to pleading guilty, Lin Siqing was taken aback. Thinking of this person's current status, he naturally didn't dare to have any hope, so he could only accept his fate to lead this job.

Jin Jiuye stepped forward and briefly inspected Jin Xiaoshou's body. This man had hidden a small blade under his tongue and cut his neck neatly.

The murder weapon was left at the scene. According to the depth of the wound and the direction of movement, it can be preliminarily judged to be suicide.

"Is there any evidence?" Jin Jiuye unwrapped the gauze wrapped around Jin Xiao's left hand bit by bit to check his left hand injury.The gauze was soaked in blood, and had already solidified a little, so it was hard to see the original white color.The technique is commonly used by the dark guards in Xuanyi, and it should be tied by Lin Jiyuan, because he didn't want him to bleed to death.

Lin Siqing dragged two guards over, "These two were on duty last night, and they are here to watch over Jin Xiaoshou."

"As a suspect, why not put him in prison?" Jin Jiuye's eyes fell on the two yamen servants.

The two yamen servants had long heard the reputation of Master Xuanyi Si Yingwei, and when they saw this man with their own eyes, their legs softened and they subconsciously knelt down.

Lin Siqing immediately kicked the two cowards, "Why are you panicking? Tell the truth!"

One of the yamen servants said: "It was requested by Medical Officer Bai. She doesn't like the darkness and humidity of the prison. If she wants to treat Jin Xiaoshou, she must be in a bright and clean place."

"It's the medical officer Bai from the Yang family?" Jin Jiuye had heard about it too.

"Exactly, I reported it to Guard Lin of Xuanyi Division last night, and Guard Lin also agreed."

"Yeah." Jin Jiuye said he knew.

Lin Siqing added from the side: "Jin Xiaoshou's involvement in the case is related to the Yang family. Lord Yingwei should know that the Yang family is the family of the ministers, and Medical Officer Bai is the apple of their eye..."

"Needless to say, where were you two when people died?" Jin Jiuye didn't want to listen to the twists and turns of these aristocratic families, so he directly interrupted Lin Siqing, and Lin Siqing didn't dare to get angry.

The yamen servant hesitated and said, "I...we didn't notice it for a while, that little Jin's hand moved too suddenly."

"Tell the truth." With Jin Jiuye's sharp eyes, he couldn't escape any loopholes.

The yamen servant was so drunk that his legs became weak again, but he had nothing to kneel on. One of them supported the other, and reluctantly said: "Yes, I took a nap, and then he went to pee, so I didn't notice the movement of Jin's little hand. But who would have thought that the man actually hid a blade on his body..."

The other person also pleaded and explained: "When he was caught, he was searched all over his body, and he was as dull as an idiot. Who would have thought that he would..."

Jin Jiuye raised his hand to signal that he didn't need to speak any more, the yamen servant who was speaking suddenly stopped talking, and he didn't even dare to burp.

"Before you died, did you say anything?"

The two yamen servants looked at each other with confused expressions, "He has never spoken, and he has been bored since he was caught. We haven't heard anything from him..."

"No, he talked to Medical Officer Bai. I heard the sentence that the Sun Moon God Temple wants to kill me, but I don't know what it means." The other person remembered.

"What about Medical Officer Bai?" Jin Jiuye looked at Lin Siqing lingeringly.

Lin Siqing was so old that he couldn't stop the gaze of Lord Yingwei. His heart trembled, and he even bowed his body. He quickly replied: "I went back to the Yang family before the accident."

"Okay, please ask Lin Siqing to send someone to send the body to Xuanyi Division, and to Medical Officer Bai, Xuanyi Division will go to deal with it." Jin Jiuye felt that the words Sun Moon Temple sounded familiar, as if he had been there a few days ago. Which case files have been dug out, and now he is anxious to go back to find out the result.

Lin Siqing responded obediently, "Since Lord Yingwei ordered, Dali Temple will send the corpse there as soon as possible. However, let the old man remind you that Doctor Bai belongs to the Yang family..."

Jin Jiuye squinted at him, and said in a cold and decisive tone, "There is no one I, Xuanyi, can't invite."

When we returned to Xuanyi Division, it was already dawn.Jin Jiuye went straight to the dossier room, found a stack of dossiers based on his impressions, glanced through them hastily, and his gaze was fixed on the four yellowed writing on the third page.

Sun Moon Temple.

And behind this, it seems to have something to do with Bei Qi.

Xuan Yisi is also imprisoning a prisoner from the Northern Qi Dynasty, and this case file is his crime.At this point in the investigation, Jin Jiuye immediately took the case file and went to the dungeon of Xuanyi Division. The case of missing his left hand finally has a clue at this moment.

Jin Xiaoshou would commit suicide, but the prisoners held by Xuan Yisi could not die if they wanted to.

"Boss!" The dark guard on duty saluted, and Jin Jiuye strode in, "Take Ding No. [-] to the interrogation room, and I will interrogate myself."

With a snap, the file was slapped on the table, and Ting Zi No. [-] was brought up to Jin Jiuye. He was blind and only had a pair of unwavering white eyes.

"Sun Moon Temple, what's going on?" Jin Jiuye looked at the broken man in front of him. His prison clothes were covered with dried blood, and there were large and small scars on his neck and wrists, some of which were still red and purple. It should be good.

"Is it the legendary Lord Shadow Guard?" Ting Zi No. [-] was let go by the dark guard, and his body went limp and he fell directly to the ground. Hearing Jin Jiuye's voice, he moved in that direction.

"In front of me, you should tell everything." Jin Jiuye was unmoved.

Dingzi No. [-] chuckled, "It turns out that Lord Shadow Guard personally interrogated me, so can I die?"

Jin Jiuye looked down at this humble and surprised man, "That depends on whether what you confessed is worthwhile."

"I'll tell you everything." Ding Zihao said excitedly, "I just want to die."

"They have an organization, and after the members who join lose their value, they will be taken away from the so-called God-given talents. This is their consistent belief, my eyes, that's how they are taken away. They don't allow any of the Lord's The people are living outside, they are a group of dead soldiers raised by Northern Qi, they..."

Jin Jiuye listened silently, Ding Zihao's narration was messy and incomprehensible, but it all revealed that the so-called Sun Moon Temple should be a mysterious organization in Northern Qi that trained a group of crazy killers.Once the subordinates are useless, they will be punished accordingly. This kind of punishment is carried out very thoroughly. For example, the assassin in the assassination case of King Li had to take his left hand away even if he died.

This may be a dark ritual, subject to their beliefs.They will take away what you are best at and most proud of. That killer's ultimate move is hidden in his left hand. The wound on Jin Jiuye's abdomen has not yet healed, which can prove it.And even if those people took the risk of sneaking into the Xuanyi Division, they still wanted to take away a dead man's left hand, which shows how cruel and terrifying this organization is.

It's terrible to control people's hearts.

Ding Zihao's words became more and more crazy, and he said a lot of things over and over again. When Jin Jiuye saw that he could not get any more useful information, he ordered someone to take him back to the cell.

He was meditating in the interrogation room, and held the file for a long time to read. The sunlight began to shine in through the small window on the wall, and sprinkled on half of his face that was as cold as ice.

His eyes were still firm, and he hadn't fought against such an enemy for a long time.

But even if there are thousands of troops and swords, he will never back down.

"Boss, there are two palace servants from Shoukang Palace who want to see you." A secret guard came in and reported, Jin Jiuye came back to his senses, walked out of the dungeon, and there were two young palace servants standing in the courtyard.

Jin Jiuye ordered the accompanying dark guards, "Go to Yang's house and bring Medical Officer Bai over for interrogation."

After walking over, one of the little palace maids raised the corner of his eyes and said arrogantly: "Jin Guiren, let's go with the servant."

"What's the matter?" Jin Jiuye stood still.

The little palace man immediately stared, "The concubine called you, what do you want to ask? How dare such a noble person be so rampant?"

Jin Jiuye looked at him calmly, "What's the matter?"

When Jin Jiuye saw that, the little palace man shuddered in his heart, why did he feel as if he was going to die for a while.

The companion beside him tugged at his sleeve, and he coughed softly, "How can a slave know about the master's affairs, so hurry up and leave."

"I won't go." Jin Jiuye said indifferently, "You can report directly to the concubine, I won't go."

"You, why are you like this, you are just a noble person, you have to recognize your identity!" the little palace man yelled, and his companion pulled him again, and he suppressed his arrogance, "the concubine will know you Don't go, there is a sentence for the servant to ask you."

Jin Jiuye stopped turning around, and the little palace man questioned: "The concubine asks you, are you still His Majesty's concubine, if so, leave immediately!"

Shoukang Palace.

Zhong Wanxiu handed the concubine fresh milk, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, the milk has sugar in it. My servant has tasted it. It's neither sweet nor greasy. It just suits your taste."

The concubine also smiled, "Today I caught the handle of the shadow guard, and the Ai family is happy about everything. He still thinks it was the past, as a concubine, he dared to leave the palace privately, and sent more than a dozen Habayashi guards All of them were wounded. Even if His Majesty came to rescue him personally today, he would not be able to escape the crime of such an arrogant and domineering person. It is justifiable for the Ai family to punish him."

Zhong Wanxiu nodded, "Grandmother is right, there is no place for such a domineering concubine in this palace, he made a mistake himself, and he will naturally be punished. If he went to the Palace Zhengsi, wouldn't it be a bit embarrassing, it's still Auntie He handled it well and saved His Majesty's face, so he should thank his aunt."

The concubine snorted coldly, "How can he think of the kindness of the Ai family? Don't lure His Majesty away with a plate of grapes, and just embarrass the Ai family. Such lowly things are always used. Competing for favor? Heh, but he won the status of an honored person, and he didn’t even get any congratulations after being canonized, and His Majesty has never been to the Palace of Eternal Life. I’m afraid it’s because of the favor.”

While speaking, the palace servants from outside came in to report, "Jin Guiren has arrived."

Immediately afterwards, the tall and solemn man in black came in. After a few days, his face was still cold, as if no one could disturb his emotions.

The concubine dislikes Jin Jiuye more and more, he is a heartless and desireless thing, not even a human being, so why should he be domineering in the harem?

"Ignored the palace rules, went out of the palace privately, and injured Habayashi Wei, all of this was done by you?" The concubine sat at the head, acting like an interrogator.

She didn't care whether Jin Jiuye saluted her or not, she just wanted to teach this person a lesson, and it would be best for him to kneel down and beg for mercy in order to relieve the hatred in her heart.

"It's a minister." Jin Jiuye recognized it happily.

The concubine was surprised by Jin Jiuye's obedience. Could it be that question of heartbreak played a role?

She looked at Jin Jiuye, and asked again: "Since you have pleaded guilty, will you accept the punishment?"

"I accept the punishment." From the moment Jin Jiuye left the palace, he knew that he had disobeyed the order this time, that he had failed to be a concubine of his master, and that punishment was inevitable, and he was willing to do so.

"Very good." Seeing Jin Jiuye's obedient manner, the concubine felt very proud, "The Ai family doesn't want to send you to Gongzhengsi, that's where servants are dealt with, and you belong to His Majesty, if you enter Gong Zhengsi, that hurt His Majesty's face. Go outside and kneel by yourself."

"Yes." Jin Jiuye turned and went out without any hesitation.

Kneeling as punishment was nothing more than a punishment, in his opinion, the concubine had never seen Xuan Yisi's methods.

Zhong Wanxiu stared blankly for a long time, unable to recover, "He, he obeyed now?"

The concubine snorted coldly, she was in a bad mood, "Before he was canonized, he was going to be a queen, but now he is only a little nobleman, so naturally he dare not be arrogant anymore. Let him kneel under the sun for a few hours , you are not allowed to give me a sip of water, the Ai family can hear that the injury has not healed..."

In the weather of July, the stone slabs outside could spread eggs. Wouldn't it collapse for such a seriously injured person to kneel for several hours?

Even if he is an incomparably powerful shadow guard, and he can't collapse on his knees, it's good to torture him a bit.

Concubine Toffee was still thinking about the trick, at this moment, it was just an appetizer.

"You, the two of you go to look at the Palace of Qinzheng. Whoever dares to reveal the news to His Majesty, the Ai family will definitely not be lenient."

The two palace men who responded hurriedly went out.

An hour later, the torrential rain poured down.Concubine Tai was bored cutting branches for a potted plant, Zhong Wanxiu ate a few pieces of snacks, and couldn't help but look outside, "He's still kneeling."

The concubine glanced at her, "Be obedient. The biggest advantage of a shadow guard is to be obedient. Your Majesty probably likes this."

"Toffee!" A palace servant who had just left ran back against the rain, "Your Majesty went down to Yongshou Palace, and then passed the news to Li, the chief minister of the palace, saying that he wanted to close the palace and punish him."

"Why?" The concubine frowned, "Your Majesty has never punished palace officials lightly. He was very merciful in order to change the chaos of torture during the reign of the late emperor."

"Yes... I heard it's because of Mr. Jin."

"For the shadow guard?" The concubine raised her voice immediately, Zhong Wanxiu also squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, she was a little worried.

The palace servant continued: "Your Majesty heard that the palace servants of Yongshou Palace called Jin Guiren Empress, so he became very angry and wanted to slap all the palace servants who called them Empresses. Now it is Yongshou Palace, and when Yongshou Palace is finished , Mr. Li still has to take people to various palaces. His Majesty said that no one will be spared."

He thought that he would also be beaten, and his face turned into mourning.

Zhong Wanxiu couldn't help being surprised when she heard it, and said, "How could Your Majesty be like this? He is protecting that Jin, right?"

"How could it be?" The concubine disapproved, "Jin Jiuye, a noble person, how can he be worthy of the title of empress? Your majesty is annoyed by the unruly boss. It seems that this Lord Shadow Guard is not the same as the legend. Thinking about it."

Zhong Wanxiu didn't quite agree with the concubine's words, she felt that the concubine was too optimistic, but if there was something wrong, she couldn't find any words to refute, so she had to remain silent.

After a while, she walked outside the hall under the eaves and saw Jin Jiuye who was drenched in the rain, and suddenly felt refreshed.

Since she was a child, she has been the eldest lady of many stars, and many people surround her to curry favor with her. She has always known that she will enter the palace to be the woman of the emperor, and even give birth to a prince, with even more honorable glory.

However, on the first day she met He Jue, she was disturbed by this man. How could she not be jealous?

Holding an umbrella, she walked up to Jin Jiuye, looked down at Jin Jiuye's calm face, and the jealousy in her heart became more rampant.

This man can enter His Majesty's harem, why can't she?If it weren't for him, I would definitely be caught by His Majesty at a glance.

"I heard that you came out of the camp of life and death, and that place is like raising Gu. Only one of thousands of people will stay, and all the rest will be killed." Zhong Wanxiu opened her red lips lightly, and said slowly, "I also heard that there is no food in there, and those who stay alive are eating the corpses of others. How many people have you killed and eaten? Which parts are the best to eat?"

Jin Jiuye raised his eyes, and the rain slid down his silhouette.

The rain was so heavy that he didn't see Zhong Wanxiu's face clearly, "Do I know you?"

Zhong Wanxiu choked, her pretty face flushed with anger, "You...Aren't you afraid that you will be covered in blood and putrefaction, and if you follow His Majesty, you will also dirty His Majesty? You should stay away from Your Majesty."

Jin Jiuye didn't speak.

Zhong Wanxiu's umbrella was suddenly snatched away, she screamed, and the torrential rain instantly wetted her hair and make-up.

She looked back and saw the furious He Jue, "Shut up!"

At the same time, the palace servants waiting for orders in the corridor rushed into the main hall, "Taufei, Your Majesty has come to Shoukang Palace."

The concubine stood up suddenly, looking at the rain outside, and then sat down solemnly and luxuriously, looking neither surprised nor disturbed.

He Jue stretched out his hand to help Jin Jiuye up, then stuffed the umbrella he had taken into the man's hand, and said angrily, "Hold it."

"Why is the master here?" Jin Jiuye was a little surprised when he didn't see He Jue for a few days.

He Jue snorted coldly, "I won't come, so that you can abuse yourself, right? It's good to hold an umbrella, and if you dare to get caught in a little rain, I will never forgive you."

"Your Majesty, my daughter..." Zhong Wanxiu had already become a drowning dog, the raindrops were so heavy that her face hurt, not to mention her ladylike appearance, she couldn't even salute normally.

"Why are you still in the palace?" He Jue wanted to drive the man out a long time ago, but the man hasn't left yet.

In an instant, he remembered that he forgot to tell Zhong's family about this matter, and was busy with Qin Zhen's stall all the time, causing Jin Jiuye to be ridiculed by this little girl.

"Come here, send this girl out of the palace!"

The palace people behind were all followed by the Hall of Qinzheng, and immediately stepped forward after receiving He Jue's order.

Zhong Wanxiu panicked, her vision was blurred under the rain curtain, and she could only see the impatience and irritability on He Jue's face, "Your Majesty, I don't know what crime I have committed..."

"What's the crime? Humiliation of my concubine, does it count?" He Jue's eyes were cold, "Please ask Mr. Zhong on your behalf, is the Zhong family's tutor like this?"

Zhong Wanxiu's face turned pale, how dare she go back and ask her grandfather with such words, His Majesty is making her miserable for the rest of her life!

She quickly knelt down and kept begging: "Your Majesty, please forgive me for my mistake. I really know my mistake, please forgive me..."

Tears mixed with rain, at this moment she was finally regretful, the little bit of jealousy born from the bottom of her heart caused today's situation.

Thinking of being forced to be sent home by He Jue, and the way those aunts and sisters at home looked at her, she even wanted to die.

"Send it away!" He Jue didn't want to look at this woman again.

He heard what this woman said, she dared to mention the life and death camp, even he often avoided mentioning it in front of Jin Jiuye.

That may be the most painful memory in Jin Jiuye's life. At that time, he was so small and so helpless, but he was thrown into such a cruel place.

He Jue looked back at Jin Jiuye distressedly, the man was holding on to an umbrella in the rain, his expression was still indifferent, neither pain nor joy.

"Grandmother, grandaunt..." Zhong Wanxiu was mercilessly dragged away by the palace servants, so she could only call out to the concubine to find a chance.

The concubine walked out of the hall and went to the corridor, and she was shocked when she saw this scene.

"What are you doing, Your Majesty?" She quickly ordered the palace servants to stop, "Why is Wanxiu caught in the rain, go in and change clothes."

"No need." He Jue interrupted the concubine, "The daughter of the Zhong family has a lack of virtue, so it is inconvenient to stay in the palace to accompany the concubine, so she should be sent back to the Zhong family to educate her."

"What do you mean by virtue and demerit?" The concubine spoke harshly, and she was also a daughter of the Zhong family. What is His Majesty alluding to?

He Jue smiled coldly, and took a few steps forward, and the palace servants with umbrellas quickly followed.

"The concubine knows it well. I don't need to say it myself. Jin Jiuye belongs to me. If he violates any palace rules, I will deal with it." He Jue stepped up the steps and looked at the concubine. This moment seemed particularly frightening.

Seeing Jin Jiuye standing in the rain with an umbrella, he scolded angrily: "What kind of wooden piles are you doing, why don't you come in to hide from the rain?"

Jin Jiuye hurriedly stepped up the steps, stood under the eaves, and followed He Jue.

At this moment, the concubine finally understood, "Is your majesty here to make decisions for Jin Jiuye? As a concubine, he left the palace privately in disregard of the palace rules, and injured dozens of Habayashi guards. As a concubine, the Ai family How can I not be punished? I hope His Majesty will deal with it impartially, and don't play favoritism."

He Jue raised his eyebrows, and turned to look at Jin Jiuye: "You also injured a dozen Habayashi guards?"

"Yes." Jin Jiuye replied truthfully.

"Are you hurt?"

"Never."

He Jue nodded, "Looks like it's time for my Habayashi guards to practice hard. Lin Chi has neglected his duty, Zhang Fu, and ordered him to come to Qinzheng Palace tomorrow to accept the crime."

"Yes." Zhang Fu wrote it down, at this moment, he found a coat from somewhere, and handed it to Jin Jiuye, "Master Shadow Guard, please wear it."

He Jue glanced at him approvingly, and ordered Jin Jiuye, "Put it on."

The concubine couldn't see the two people getting bored, and interrupted angrily: "Your Majesty, Jin Jiuye made a mistake, so shouldn't he be punished? How can he convince the public if he doesn't punish? If he goes out of the palace privately, if it is more serious, he will not be punished." Obedient to women! If he does such a behavior, does he still have laws and regulations in his eyes, and does he still have a husband like Your Majesty?"

"Concubine, Jin Jiuye is a man, what kind of womanhood should I keep?" He Jue looked over with sharp eyes, "On the contrary, the concubine herself should reflect on how the word "womanhood" is written. I said, Jin Jiuye is one of my people, and it is not up to the concubine to deal with it arbitrarily."

"You!" The concubine was so angry that she couldn't speak, and He Jue scolded her for being disobedient, "Your Majesty, Ai's family is your mother! You actually..."

"Mother?" He Jue smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "I should know what the concubine has done."

"You..." The blood on the concubine's face faded instantly, even the heavy makeup couldn't hide her panic and guilt, she almost asked in a voiceless voice, "What do you know?"

He Jue looked at her, word by word: "I only know that my mother is Empress Xiaoshu Qin, and you are the concubine."

Concubine Toffee staggered back a step, in disbelief, unable to say a word.

After a while, she said hysterically, "Ai Jia, she is your biological mother!"

He Jue smiled slightly, and asked, "Really?"

Those two light words made the concubine suddenly realize that the blood relationship she once thought was nothing but the kindness and compassion of this person.If he takes it back, it will be easy.

It's over, it's over.

"You actually treat Aijia like this for this man?" The concubine pounced on him softly, grabbed He Jue's sleeve, trying to detect a trace of sympathy in the king's heart.

But He Jue broke them apart bit by bit indifferently, "The concubine looks restless, she should choose a day to go to the Universiade Temple to clean up. The summer heat in the palace is too heavy, it is not as cool and pleasant as the Universiade Temple, so I don't want it in a short time." Come back again."

After saying this, He Jue stopped talking to the concubine and went straight out.

Suddenly, the concubine screamed wildly, rushed into the rain like crazy, grabbed He Jue's arm, her legs were bent, and she almost knelt down.

"Brother Jue, I am your mother, I gave birth to you...you can't do this to me! No matter what I did, you should forgive me, I am your mother, brother Jue...you can't do this For me, I won't go to the Universiade Temple, I won't go to Qingxiu! Brother Jue, you let me go..."

The torrential rain was pouring, and the concubine begged He Jue begging in embarrassment. He Jue's face was as cold as ice.

His gaze fell on the hands of the concubine like a sharp knife. These hands pushed him into the winter lake. For her own interests and desires, she wanted to put him to death with her own hands.

Back then, it was these hands that stuffed the villain who conspired against the voodoo gu into his arms. He asked why in astonishment, but the concubine tricked him into being a toy.

In many things since then, she helped third brother to harm him more than once or twice. She thought she was doing things secretly, and she thought he never knew... It's ridiculous, how can such a person be worthy of being a mother?

He Jue pushed the concubine away, and the concubine sat down on the ground with the rain, he didn't want to look at her again.

From behind came the concubine's almost crazy roar, even if she left the Shoukang Gate, she could still hear it from a distance on the palace road.

The rain was a little lighter, as if it stopped in an instant, and summer rainstorms always come and go in a hurry.

Jin Jiuye suddenly closed his umbrella and got under He Jue's umbrella. He reached out and held He Jue's hand, and felt that the man's fingertips were cold, "Master."

He Jue smiled softly, and his voice was also very soft, "Listen, she seems to be cursing me, but I don't think there is anything wrong. I have been letting her go for the past few years. I can't get over that knot, and I have to pretend to be a snake, but today suddenly It doesn't seem to be a big deal to tear up your face with her."

"Well, it's all over." Jin Jiuye comforted.

He Jue was silent for a moment, hiding the last trace of sadness in his eyes.

Suddenly he grabbed Jin Jiuye with his backhand, held the man's hand tightly in his palm, and said viciously: "You didn't go there, go to Qinzheng Palace, and tell me honestly."

Jin Jiuye paused, wanted to break free but didn't dare, "It's the subordinate's fault, you shouldn't leave the palace without authorization."

"I didn't say that." He Jue ordered the palace servants, "Go to the imperial hospital and call Su Huichun to the Qinzheng Hall to wait for orders."

Jin Jiuye didn't speak.

He Jue looked at his drenched clothes again, and immediately felt angry again.

"Who told you to go to Shoukang Palace? You didn't understand what I said in Qianyuan Hall that day, did you? She asked you to kneel and you kneel. Did you take my master seriously? Later Also look at your knees and legs, if there is even the slightest damage, I will not spare you. Just sit in a wheelchair for the next two months and see where you go!"

Jin Jiuye quickly explained: "Your subordinate is fine, the time of kneeling is not as strong as my usual martial arts training."

"Yo, you're quite proud of what you mean?" He Jue squinted at him, and pinched him twice in anger. What kind of thing, what kind of stupid thing, what kind of stupid wooden stake!

He was angry and loving at the same time, and his heart ached so much.
