Shadow Guard stand-in

Back at Qinzheng Palace, hot water was brought over from the fire place immediately, and the faces of several small palace people were swollen. Jin Jiuye looked strange, but didn't ask any more questions.

He Jue snorted coldly when he saw this, and he was someone who bullied Jin Jiuye.

Fortunately, the palace people in the Qinzheng Palace were quite up to date, and none of them were slapped by Gong Zhengsi, so he felt a little more balanced in his heart.

After Gong Zhengsi Li Gui punished the palace servants of Yongshou Palace, he hurriedly went to various tasks that are often close to Shengjia, such as the fire place, such as the imperial dining room, in order to let He Jue calm down as soon as possible and see the fruits of his labor by the way. .

Jin Jiuye took a hot bath, and He Jue wiped his hair and was applying medicine.The burning place came to tidy up the house again, and changed two palace servants, their faces were still red and swollen, their eyebrows were downcast, and they dared not even make a sound, Jin Jiuye took another look.

"They were punished by my order." After all, He Jue didn't hold his breath. Seeing Jin Jiuye's curiosity, he began to confess, "They called you Jin Niangniang, and I didn't want to hear it, so I was slapped on the mouth to call you Jin Jiuye." They have long memories."

Seeing that Jin Jiuye didn't ask any further questions, He Jue added another sentence: "Everyone in the whole palace, as long as they are shouting and shouting, no matter whether they pretend to be in front of you or not, none of them can escape."

After saying this, he secretly went to look at Jin Jiuye's expression, seeing that this person didn't care about what he said at all, he felt depressed for no reason.

I vented my anger for you, why don't you even have a nice word?He Jue was secretly unhappy, but he was too embarrassed to ask, fearing that he would be treated as a puppy wagging his tail begging for praise, so he straightened his expression and asked, "A few days ago I asked about your status, just say you are a nobleman." , is it because of the title? You don't like them calling you like that?"

Jin Jiuye looked at He Jue, "Yes."

He Jue said in his heart that I already knew, "Then why didn't you mention it to me? Those little bastards behaved very well in front of me, and they all called you Lord Shadow Guard as usual, but they talked nonsense in private."

"It's okay, master don't mind." Jin Jiuye tied the gauze on his abdomen, and then began to put on his jacket. He Jue helped him pass over the clean coat, "I thought, I'd better give you the title of imperial concubine."

Jin Jiuye thought for a while and said, "No need."

"Why?" He Jue was puzzled, "I feel wronged by you."

Jin Jiuye looked at He Jue, "Master, it's just a title."

That's right, He Jue thought that he had let Jin Jiuye enter the palace only for a name.As long as no one else is allowed to enter the harem, Jin Jiuye is the only one, so what difference does it make?As long as Jin Jiuye is willing, he will accompany him to the end.

At this moment, Zhang Fu asked outside, "Your Majesty, Mr. Su is waiting in the front hall."

At that time, Su Huichun was called from the imperial hospital in a hurry, but He Jue dragged Jin Jiuye to wash, change clothes and apply medicine, and it took a long time. The old man was afraid that he had to wait for a long time before asking Zhang Fulai to remind him.

Hearing this, He Jue hurriedly led Jin Jiuye over, Su Huichun checked the pulse, and asked about Jin Jiuye's wound condition.

He Jue said: "I've seen the wound on his body just now, there is nothing wrong with it, it's just a little soaked in rainwater."

Su Huichun nodded, "Then it's all right, Mr. Shadow Guard is in good health, so it doesn't look like a serious problem so far."

As he spoke, he prescribed another decoction, "At a later time, I asked the decoction to be delivered from the pharmacy, drink it to remove moisture."

As for the legs and knees that were punished to kneel, He Jue had seen them just now when he was washing up, but they were just a little red. Now that he has been diagnosed by the imperial physician, He Jue is also relieved.

After Su Huichun resigned, the palace servants were also screened out. He Jue asked the reason for today: "Why are you rushing out of the palace before dawn?"

Jin Jiuye told the story one by one, and finally said: "The assassination of King Li should be related to Northern Qi."

He Jue nodded, "Before Qi Lezhi went on vacation, he received some news from the guards at the border. Bei Qi moved frequently, and seemed to be looking for opportunities to make trouble. However, they were also in chaos internally. I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of myself for a while. It's just that the Sun Moon Temple sounds like a cult, and I don't know which side it is from."

Jin Jiuye said respectfully: "This subordinate will find out."

"Don't worry, heal your injury first." He Jue patted Jin Jiuye on the shoulder, "I'm here for everything, I'm not a child."

Jin Jiuye was silent, "Subordinates should check first..."

He Jue interrupted: "Take a break, you don't have to work so hard."

But Jin Jiuye only wanted to investigate the case as quickly as possible, and to eliminate all dangers at the earliest possible sign, "Master..."

He Jue said angrily, "I haven't settled with you about your kneeling at Shoukang Palace today."

Jin Jiuye quickly explained: "This subordinate is fine. He has been raised in the palace for more than half a month, and his bones are almost lazy. It is good to kneel."

Thinking that he hadn't personally interrogated that medical officer of the Yang family, he really didn't want to kneel down and waste time for a little punishment.

"Is it good to kneel?" He Jue suddenly became angry when he heard this, "What's the matter, do you still want to kneel?"

"No." Jin Jiuye felt that the master and he didn't seem to have the same idea, and he had never lost his temper over a trivial matter of being punished by kneeling in the rain before, what happened today?

He Jue snorted coldly, "Since it's not the case, what nonsense are you talking to me? Do you still have to thank the concubine for bullying you?"

"The subordinates are not grateful, but feel..." Jin Jiuye thought for a while, and still told the truth, "A little thing is not important."

The case is not as important as Xuan Yisi's, the country is not as important as the master's, and the safety of the master is not as important.

"A little thing?" He Jue let out a long breath of anger, his lungs were about to explode.

"When I heard the news, I was only worried that you would be bullied by the concubine, so I went straight to Shoukang Palace. I thought to myself, you are so stupid, and the concubine is used to using shady tricks, you don't know how much you will suffer. Knowing the truth, I only believe in you blindly, but you don't appreciate it at all?"

"This subordinate knows his mistake." Jin Jiuye was taken aback by He Jue's words, and quickly knelt down to plead guilty.

That plop made He Jue's ears hurt from kneeling, and he stared at Jin Jiuye, speechless for a long time.

How could this elm head be so irritating?Even though he is not allowed to kneel, he still kneels for you to see!

"Okay, you like to kneel, don't you?" He Jue turned around and took two steps, then turned his head and pointed at Jin Jiuye, ready to scold him, "You..."

You waited for a long time without saying a word, he took another two steps, then turned around, and saw the man's sincere pleading face again, his eyes met, Jin Jiuye hurriedly said: "This subordinate knows his mistake, and made the master angry." , should be punished."

Adding more fuel to the fire, He Jue was so angry that he couldn't speak. He wanted to reprimand Jin Jiuye and call this kid abominable, but Jin Jiuye even accepted the punishment. Could it be that he was right?

He Jue couldn't find any reason, so he stared at the man for a while, then suddenly strode forward and pulled him up, "You like to kneel, but I won't let you!"

Jin Jiuye was dragged up in astonishment, He Jue looked at his rare expression, raised his chin, and said angrily, "What's the matter, I won't let you do what you want!"

Jin Jiuye: "..."

He doesn't seem to mean that, the master seems to be angry with him, but why should he be angry?

"I see you upset, go out by yourself, don't be an eyesore in front of me!" He Jue waved his hand, not wanting to look at the elm head again.

Jin Jiuye should be, and went out.

He Jue was distracted for a long time alone in the Qinzheng Palace, lying on the bed at night unable to fall asleep, looking back at everything that happened during the day, he found that he had never been so impulsive like today, and even got mad at Jin Jiuye half dead.

In the past ten years, he and Jin Jiuye have always been the best match.They could understand each other, even though the man was seldom articulate, but He Jue knew what he wanted.But what's going on now, the bull's head is wrong with the horse's mouth, is Jin Jiuye disobedient, or is his mind twisted?

It's not like he hasn't seen Jin Jiuye get hurt before, and his heartache is heartache, and he cares about it, but he won't be as anxious and angry as he is today.He will personally apply medicine for Jin Jiuye, help him treat his wounds, worry about the thickness of his clothes, and even habitually help him add vegetables when he eats. He knows all Jin Jiuye's eating habits and knows that he likes to eat braised pork. I also know that he doesn't like sweet and sour taste.But this is just because they are brothers in need who have supported each other since they were young. After getting along for a long time, they care about nature and do nothing special.

The inexplicable irritability and impulsiveness in my heart is obviously very strange now, what is it for?

After thinking for a while, He Jue felt that maybe he was angry today not because of Jin Jiuye's injury, but because Jin Jiuye didn't know what to do.Obviously the injury hasn't healed yet, but he's tossing about on his own.Toffee, that old hag, what can I do?Still so obedient, how can you hurt yourself?

But thinking about it again, today's situation really can't hurt him.As a person who is always by his side, He Jue knows best about his high martial arts and strong will.He can even fight against the god of death, so where does this indecentness come from?

If it were him in the past, although he would stand up for Jin Jiuye, he would not punish the palace servants so severely, and perhaps he would not tear himself apart with the concubine, and even embarrass the Zhong family.He is a person who is used to being calm, he can plan and plan, and he can calculate people's hearts.Even in the case of Qi Lezhi, he took every step of the way, removing all possible obstacles bit by bit, but in the end he didn't expect that that person's heart was not with him.

As far as feelings are concerned, why is it that Jin Jiuye, especially today, can no longer hold back his calmness.

He Jue tossed and turned, and couldn't fall asleep in the middle of the night, so he put on his coat and got up, and went to Yongshou Palace alone.

Since he couldn't sleep thinking about that person, he went to see him.

When he arrived at Yongshou Palace, He Jue deliberately restrained his breath, not wanting to be known by Jin Jiuye in advance, he just wanted to take a look at Jin Jiuye, maybe he would go back after taking a look.

But Jin Jiuye was no one else, he was the one who taught He Jue's kung fu, and he soon noticed He Jue's whereabouts.Before he approached the room, he immediately covered up the traces just now, jumped on the bed, and pretended nothing happened.

The lights in the room were brightly lit, and the whole palace was lit there.He Jue approached lightly step by step, gently pushed open the door, wanted to take a look at it, but happened to see Jin Jiuye lying on the bed, looking at him with dark eyes.

"Master." Jin Jiuye stood up.

He Jue immediately straightened his back, pretended to walk in with his head held high, and of course he did not forget to cover the door with his hands.

When he approached Jin Jiuye, the man looked at him with his dark eyes as usual, but he suddenly felt a strange feeling in his heart, which was totally unreasonable.

He subconsciously glanced across the room, and the feeling of something wrong became more and more intense.Intuition made him realize that Jin Jiuye must be hiding something.

Suddenly he saw a trace of sweat on Jin Jiuye's forehead, and instantly understood that this man was clearly awake, but he pretended not to notice him, which was weird.

"What were you doing just now?" He Jue asked.

The corners of Jin Jiuye's mouth tightened slightly, and he remained silent.

He Jue said again: "Tell the truth." His voice was much harsher.

Only then did Jin Jiuye slowly take out a hand from behind, with the palm spread out, it was a thin needle one and a half inches long.

He Jue's eyes widened when he saw it, "Jin Jiuye, are you crazy?"

He has been with Jin Jiuye for many years, so he naturally knows that this is the usual punishment method used by shadow guards.

A layer of sweat oozed from the man's forehead again, and he said with difficulty: "Ordinary punishments don't work on subordinates, subordinates..."

"Are you punishing yourself by not sleeping in the middle of the night?" He Jue was anxious and angry, and started to take off Jin Jiuye's clothes, taking off his upper body. With this short needle.

"Sit down obediently." He Jue brought him to the bed and pushed him down, but Jin Jiuye reached out to stop him, "Master."

He Jue frowned coldly, "Why, want to disobey the order? I can't even touch you?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, "No."

"Then sit down and don't move!" He Jue said forcefully.

He looked at Jin Jiuye's body, then slowly stretched out his hand, and carefully removed the first needle, then the second needle, and the third needle... until he removed a total of sixteen needles.

He Jue didn't say a word during the whole process, he even controlled his breathing, for fear of hurting Jin Jiuye, he was so careful that he didn't even realize it.

Then he checked his whole body again, "Is there anything else?"

Jin Jiuye replied: "Not anymore."

He Jue finally breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the man in front of him coldly, Jin Jiuye couldn't stand the look, "Subordinate..."

"Oh, tell me, I'll listen to you." If He Jue's eyes were knives, he would chop Jin Jiuye from head to toe.

"Subordinates disobey the master and make the master angry. According to the shadow guard regulations, they should be punished." Jin Jiuye said truthfully.

He Jue was speechless, "I didn't intend to punish you!"

Today in Qinzheng Hall, even he himself didn't know what was going on, why he suddenly became angry.But he knew very well in his heart that he didn't want to punish Jin Jiuye, and he didn't want Jin Jiuye to suffer any more harm.

At that moment, he suddenly thumped, as if he had realized something.

But Jin Jiuye's persistent voice came from beside his ears, "If the master doesn't punish, the subordinates should punish themselves."

What he said was so indifferent and natural, He Jue immediately said angrily: "Do you think your body is your own? Even your life is mine's, I won't allow it, how dare you disobey it?"

Jin Jiuye raised his eyes in astonishment, since the age of 14, the master has never said such a serious word.

"Subordinate..." He wanted to say but didn't know what to say, his eyes suddenly became blank, "Subordinate dare not."

He Jue was also shocked by his indiscriminate words. He looked at the obedient look of the man in black, and they were speechless.

After a while, he let out a long sigh, "Why do you get annoyed more and more as you get older?"

Standing in front of Jin Jiuye, he touched the top of Jin Jiuye's head with his hand, plucked the other's hair, and rubbed his head again, "I'm really mad at you, and I still feel sorry for you. It's in your hands."

"Why did master say that?" Jin Jiuye was puzzled.

He Jue coughed lightly, and seemed to feel that the words were a bit ambiguous, and then changed the subject, "Don't you think you have changed a lot this time?"

Jin Jiuye was even more puzzled, "What has changed in your subordinates?"

He Jue mentioned that this anger was coming up again, and he almost blurted out, "Don't you know where you have changed? The whole person is weird, especially today, I used to make me angry, and I still don't understand my thoughts! Are you really angry and want to punish you? You just humiliate yourself. If I hadn’t come here tonight, what else would you want to do? Kill yourself? In the past, we knew each other best, why do you now..."

Before he finished speaking, even he was stunned.Is he a little bit wronged?

At this moment, Jin Jiuye said seriously: "The subordinates have never changed, and it was the same in the past."

He Jue said angrily: "What do you mean, is it because I can't change?"

Jin Jiuye didn't speak.

He Jue took a deep breath, suddenly realized something, turned around and walked out without saying a word.

Back at the Hall of Qinzheng, I ran into Zhang Fu who was on duty at night. This old palace man is a fine person, and he knows how to read people's hearts best.He Jue was in a mess, so he stopped Zhang Fu.

"I ask you, have I changed?"

Zhang Fu was so frightened by this thoughtless question that he didn't dare to answer. He didn't know what His Majesty wanted to ask in the middle of the night. Could it be a means to punish the palace servants today?

But He Jue didn't want Zhang Fu to answer, and then asked again: "Has my relationship with Jin Jiuye really changed?"

Zhang Fu immediately realized that it was really for today's matter, so he responded tactfully: "Your Majesty has always cared about Lord Shadow Guard."

He Jue nodded, "Yes, I have always loved Jin Jiuye very much, and it has never changed."

Just now, I was really thinking wildly, and I actually felt that I had delusions about Jin Jiuye.That was his brother who lived and died together, if he had delusional thoughts about him, he would lose face as a human being.
