Shadow Guard stand-in

Jin Jiuye was taken to the Palace of Qinzheng by He Jue to recuperate from his injuries, and his life was very peaceful.The Ninth Princesses of the Northern Qi Dynasty stayed at home, and Lang Wan behaved in Xuanyi, not even the concubine made a move.

He Jue stayed with Jin Jiuye when he was free, and asked him every day, "Is my comb carved?"

Every time Jin Jiuye wanted to answer, He Jue held him down again, "You don't have to show it to me, if I don't do it well, I won't be surprised if I look at it."

"There is no master in the world who asks for gifts like this." Jin Jiuye was very helpless, he had already carved a comb with his eagle-patterned dagger, which was only used for killing people, and its sharpness was almost comparable to all weapons in the world.

However, He Jue didn't think it was enough, so he asked him every morning, noon and evening, and occasionally when he was having tea and snacks, he would catch Jin Jiuye and ask him again, the frequency was no less than that of meals.

So Jin Jiuye hurried, and finally took a few days to fulfill the promise of the master.

This day, as soon as He Jue entered the door, he hugged a bunch of books and threw them on the desk for Jin Jiuye to read. Jin Jiuye asked, "What is this?"

He Jue nodded his chin, "Look for yourself."

Jin Jiuye stepped forward and flipped through a book, "Concubine Wen?"

"That's right." He Jue took a sip of the iced juice on the side to relieve the heat, "I think you are very good at imitating Concubine Wen, so I specially asked Zhang Fu to find some miscellaneous records of unofficial history, some of which are inconvenient to memorize in official history. , it’s all here.”

Jin Jiuye glanced at it hastily, and said: "The above is a bit difficult."

He Jue chuckled, "There is nothing in this world that can be difficult for Mr. Yingwei? Besides, you are also a noble concubine now, so you should learn from others how to be a noble concubine."

"Yes." Jin Jiuye didn't doubt him, so he could only obey.

He Jue ordered lunch, and Jin Jiuye sat with him.When the two of them dine together, He Jue always dislikes having other people around, because every time he is led by Jin Jiuye to gobble it up and gobble it up.The two of them don't care about the image at all, Jin Jiuye eats it very refreshingly, and He Jue can eat an extra bowl just by seeing people's eating appearance.But when facing the servants of the palace, he would sit upright like a king, never eat or sleep, and his rules and etiquette are unmatched by anyone in the world.

Thinking about it now, probably only in front of Jin Jiuye, he is the most relaxed and at ease.

Therefore, it is not a matter of course to like him?

He Jue happily sliced ​​the white rice into his mouth. Jin Jiuye picked up a piece of roasted eggplant and stuffed it into his mouth. Because of the large portion, his entire cheeks were swollen.His lips were still greasy, He Jue almost burst out laughing, Jin Jiuye looked up at him.

He Jue stopped his chopsticks, took a clean handkerchief and threw it on Jin Jiuye's face, "Wipe."

Jin Jiuye took off the veil, wiped it carelessly, and began to lower his head and focus on eating again.He even picked a piece of eggplant full of oil and stuffed it into his mouth. Accompanied by a big mouthful of white rice, he began to chew with a focused look as if all the food on the plate were prey.

He Jue sighed, and couldn't help asking himself, how on earth did he fall in love with such a rough guy, who has thicker legs, better martial arts, and even eats more than him, except for sleeping well...but sleep He doesn't want the other party to behave in this matter!

The resentful little eyes stared back and forth at Jin Jiuye several times, but the other party was unmoved, and He Jue could only place his hope on the stack of books brought over today.

Rumor has it that Concubine Wen served the monarch with her sex, and she had been in favor for more than ten years. She had three sons and four daughters in a row.If Jin Jiuye could learn from her how to serve the monarch with color, He Jue would feel that he could wake up with a smile even when he fell asleep.

Just as he was thinking, a small wooden object was suddenly passed in front of him. Jin Jiuye had already eaten and drank enough, and looked at him eagerly, "Master, here you are."

"What is this..." He Jue's first reaction was, "A nail rake?"

Jin Jiuye said silently: "...No."

He Jue immediately understood, "This is the wooden comb you carved for me? It looks good, it really looks good!"

Taking the rake from the man's hand, he played with it carefully. The surface was smooth and durable, but he couldn't tell where it came from.

Jin Jiuye was silent for a moment, and asked, "Master really likes it?"

He Jue held it in his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Of course, how can I not like what you gave me? I have to hide him, no, just take a purse and hang it around your neck." .”

"This... there is no need for this." Jin Jiuye said with difficulty, and the look in his eyes at the wooden comb became more and more indescribable.

However, He Jue looked at the failed treasure as if he wanted to embed it in his chest immediately. Jin Jiuye couldn't help but said, "Why don't you carve a better one?"

He Jue refused, "No, this is the best."

If there is a second one, what is the purpose of this thing?

He Jue told Jin Jiuye, "You are never allowed to do such things in the future, understand?"

"Understood." Jin Jiuye replied.

He Jue was very satisfied. He stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a few ribs and put them in Jin Jiuye's bowl, "Brother Ye is so good, eat more."

Jin Jiuye silently picked up the ribs and gnawed.

The next day, under He Jue's repeated emphasis, Jin Jiuye began to refurbish a pile of unofficial history of the beloved concubine. After flipping through two books quickly, he immediately folded the books neatly, feeling suspicious in his heart, the master really wanted him to learn such a book Concubine Wen?

After a while, he opened the book again, carefully read it word by word, and looked for what he could learn from it.

Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaoxi was ordered to go to the House of Internal Affairs to look for Li Qingyu. Li Qingyu was busy with the etiquette of canonizing a noble concubine, when he heard the call from his master, he ran over in a hurry.

"Slave greets Lord Shadow Guard." Li Qingyu saluted.

Jin Jiuye cut to the chase, "I want to raise goldfish and install a big fish tank for Yongshou Palace."

As he spoke, he looked at what was written in the book again, "It needs to be exquisite and beautiful, with patterns engraved on the tank, aquatic plants and pebbles in it. The fish should be colorful, and it is best to be fat and fat, which looks especially delicious."

The last sentence was added by Jin Jiuye himself.

Hearing this, Li Qingyu asked out of nowhere: "Master Shadow Guard, do you want to eat fish?"

Jin Jiuye denied, "No, you just do as I ask."

"Yes." Li Qingyu agreed, somewhat puzzled in his heart, this Lord Shadow Guard was decisive in killing and attacking, and never loved any delicate and beautiful living things.If you meet them, your first reaction will probably be that you can kill them but not kill them. Isn't that what women in the harem should do to raise goldfish?It's a pity that he couldn't ask this question, he could only swallow it silently.

Fortunately, he cautiously added an extra sentence: "I want to teach Lord Yingwei that there are many beautiful koi that have been feeding in the lake in the imperial garden in the palace. I wonder if you are interested?"

Jin Jiuye glanced at the book, and then asked, "Isn't it pretty?"

Li Qingyu was very confident about this, and assured him: "It's absolutely beautiful."

"Okay, when you move the fish tank, just catch a few koi and put them in." Jin Jiuye nodded and agreed.

Li Qingyu quickly resigned and went down to work.

He Jue took care of the affairs of Xuanyi Division himself, and did not let Jin Jiuye, who was recovering from his injuries, work too hard, but he had no restrictions on raising fish.He Jue was very happy to hear that Jin Jiuye had a new hobby, and with a wave of his hand, he moved out of Qinzheng Palace and returned to Yongshou Palace.

This can be regarded as giving Jin Jiuye a lot of freedom. Jin Jiuye thought that trying to curry favor with the king's concubine would have a lot of benefits.

So I worked harder and fed the fish food by myself every day. I stood by the fish tank and watched for a long time.The only fly in the ointment is that it seems to be much bigger than the goldfish mentioned in the book.

Jin Jiuye couldn't help but asked Zhang Xiaoxi beside him: "Do you think this fish is big?"

Zhang Xiaoxi leaned over to take a look, "It's quite fat."

Jin Jiuye didn't speak.

Zhang Xiaoxi added: "I heard that today the imperial dining room has made several kinds of steamed fish, braised fish, sauerkraut fish, etc. If Lord Yingwei likes it, I will go to the imperial dining room to pick up the meals."

Jin Jiuye thought about it. Apart from the thorns in the fish, the meat still tastes good, and he is always hungry.

"Okay, you go."

On the third day of raising fish, Jin Jiuye stood in front of the fish tank and looked at it for a long time. The koi inside had already adapted to the water quality and temperature in the palace, and they were still alive and kicking.There were even those who were too energetic, jumped out of the water, and then re-entered the water with a big water stain on Jin Jiuye.

"Has Your Majesty ever sent someone to Yongshou Palace?" Jin Jiuye asked Zhang Xiaoxi.

Zhang Xiaoxi thought for a while, then said softly: "Didn't Your Majesty just rest in Yongshou Palace last night?"

Jin Jiuye looked at the fish that was too lively, and couldn't help sighing, "Have you seen this fish, Your Majesty?"

"I've seen it." Zhang Xiaoxi said, "I watched it with you and my lord yesterday."

"Has Your Majesty ever touched this fish?" Jin Jiuye knew very well that there was none, but he still had doubts, what if he changed the fish while he was not paying attention.

But Zhang Xiaoxi also said: "Never."

Jin Jiuye still didn't give up, "Did His Majesty send anyone to touch this fish?"

Zhang Xiaoxi was about to cry, he really didn't understand Lord Yingwei's mind, "No, everyone in the palace knows that this is your beloved thing, Lord, who dares to neglect it!"

"Okay." Jin Jiuye had nothing to say.

When it was time for lunch, Zhang Xiaoxi asked tremblingly, "Master Shadow Guard, do you still want to eat fish today?"

"Eat." Jin Jiuye secretly touched his eagle-patterned dagger, thinking about it.

It was night, a man in black leaped from the air, landed in front of the huge fish tank, stared at the water surface for a long time, and held a book in his hand, turning the pages of the book from time to time, and looking at the fish tank from time to time.

This person is Jin Jiuye, and he has his murder weapon hidden in his cuff.

"Why is it different from what is written in the book?" Jin Jiuye was extremely distressed, the blade edged out from his wrist little by little, and the handle of the knife was in his palm.

After a while, he finally gave up, "Just wait a little longer."

Back in the house, He Jue had already woken up, and was lying on the bed looking at him with great interest, "What are you doing, Brother Ye?"

Jin Jiuye said frankly, "Go and see the fish."

"Did you bring a knife?" He Jue's eyes were sharp, and he saw the pattern of the eagle pattern dagger under the clothes at once, and showed a hesitant expression to Jin Jiuye, "Raw meat is not edible, and fish scales are also not edible. , Brother Ye, do you know?"

Jin Jiuye said: "This subordinate knows."

"Then you..." He Jue sat up, pulled him to his side, reached out and touched Jin Jiuye's stomach, "Are you hungry?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head, and He Jue said again: "There is no food in the room at this time, why don't you go to the imperial dining room secretly?"

"The subordinates are not hungry." Jin Jiuye had to make it clear.

He Jue didn't believe it, "If you are worried about being met by Lin Chi, then I will go alone."

"Don't." Jin Jiuye really didn't mean that, He Jue watched as he ate a big extra bowl for dinner, and his chest was still a little greasy at the moment, so why would he want to eat anything.

"I'm gone." He Jue stood up and wanted to leave, but was grabbed by Jin Jiuye, "Master, sleep."

He Jue looked down at Jin Jiuye. Jin Jiuye was sitting by the bed, remembering Concubine Wen's words and deeds, stretched out his arms and hung them on the king's shoulders, then raised his head, and gently moved towards the man's lips.

It is said that the initiative to ask for a kiss will allow the king to satisfy his request.

But when He Jue saw that Jin Jiuye was about to kiss him, his chest thumped, he couldn't think of anything at the moment, his heart was tense and excited, and suddenly he was brought forward by the weight of the man, he couldn't stand still, and went straight to the bed fell down.

Jin Jiuye tilted his body, and his back fell on the soft bed.

Hey, why is it different from the one in the book?Shouldn't you be hanging in your arms and kissing? Why did you fall down on the bed?

He Jue's chin directly hit Jin Jiuye's nose, and both of them covered their faces in pain, and Jin Jiuye burst into tears immediately, and tears came out because of the pain in his nose.

"Okay, I won't go." He Jue comforted Jin Jiuye, feeling extremely embarrassed, how could he stand with such a big man hanging on him?

But it was really hard to say this, so I could only help someone rub his nose helplessly, "Don't make such a fuss next time, it's all red."

Jin Jiuye hummed, and the two of them lay back on the bed and continued to sleep properly.

Before sleepiness came, Jin Jiuye thought, what the book said was true, although he didn't kiss, but the master really didn't go to the imperial dining room.

Waking up early the next morning, before the palace attendants came in, He Jue sent a message to the Imperial Dining Room to cook carp today.

His shadow guard wants to eat it.

Two days later, Jin Jiuye looked at the koi carp that was still alive and well in the fish tank and began to worry, why is this fish still alive?He has not been fed for several days.

After thinking about it, he couldn't help asking Zhang Xiaoxi: "Did His Majesty change the fish secretly?"

Zhang Xiaoxi pointed to those fishes, "No, Lord Shadow Guard, look, this one has a black spot on its head, this one has a bigger belly, and this one..."

Jin Jiuye didn't want to hear it anymore, he knew that these fish were from the first batch, but he followed the instructions in the book, but the fish didn't die, so how could he be a concubine?

The Lord Shadow Guard who is as powerful as a god-man feels that the current situation is more difficult than fighting alone with the killer of the Sun Moon Temple.

He flipped through the book for a long time, then looked up, and happened to see He Jue, who had just come down to court, standing not far away and staring at him at some point.Seeing him come back to his senses, He Jue came over and clarified himself: "I haven't touched your fish at all."

Jin Jiuye didn't speak, He Jue was afraid that the other party might misunderstand him, so he hurriedly explained a few more words.

"I've never seen such a precious thing like you, how dare you move around at will? Brother Ye, you have to trust me, you forgot to feed it a few days ago, and I have fed it myself a few times..."

Jin Jiuye paused, "Master, have you fed?"

"What... what's wrong?" He Jue didn't understand, so he was a little panicked, "Aren't you afraid that you will be unhappy if the fish dies? No, I can't even feed it?"

Jin Jiuye shook his head silently, unable to explain what it meant.

He Jue suddenly had a flash of light, realized that the other party was unusual these past few days, and quickly took the book in the man's hand, only to see that the opened page was the one that had been folded the most.

It reads word by word, Concubine Wen loves good-looking goldfish but is not good at raising them, and one of them died within two days of keeping them. Now that she loves her, she ordered someone to secretly replace them with live fish. This has lasted for more than a month. aware.

"Hahaha..." He Jue couldn't help laughing, pointing at the book for a long time without saying a word.

"Brother Ye, it's because the fish doesn't cooperate with you, it's not that I don't want to change the fish for you."

Jin Jiuye glanced at He Jue, immediately felt like a fool, turned around and walked into the house.

He Jue quickly chased after him, "Are you angry?"

"No." Jin Jiuye remained expressionless.

He Jue smiled and said: "I thought you wanted to eat fish, so I asked the imperial dining room to make it for you. It's strange that I didn't understand what you meant."

Jin Jiuye was silent, and walked outside with a book, He Jue asked, "Where are you going?"

Jin Jiuye said coldly: "My subordinate, go to Xuan Yisi to pry Lang Wan's mouth open."

He has long been displeased with the food and drink that this person takes up the place. Since the master thinks that the other party does not fully trust him, it means that there are still secrets left unsaid. Very well, he will ask in person.

He Jue looked at the book in Jin Jiuye's hand, "Then what are you doing with this book?"

"The torture scene is ugly, this book can pass the time." Jin Jiuye's tone was not much different from murder.

Raising undead fish can't get pets, why can't he investigate a case and invite pets?

Jin Jiuye's expression was as cold as ice, He Jue couldn't stop him, and he didn't want to stop him at all.Anyway, the two sides have held back for a long time, and it is time to move their hands and muscles.

On the palace road, Lin Chi galloped over with an anxious expression on his face, and the two pedestrians met face to face, Lin Chi reported: "Your Majesty, someone broke into the court prison without permission."

Jin Jiuye asked, "Who is it?"

Lin Chi quickly said: "Catch one and kill himself. It's from the Sun Moon Temple. They want to kill Lang Di."

Jin Jiuye quickened his pace to go to Xuanyi Division, Lin Chi followed closely, and rushed into Xuanyi Division. The first sentence, Jin Jiuye grabbed a secret guard and asked, "How about the new prisoner in Tianzihao?"

At the same time, Zhang Fu came to look for He Jue, but he ran out of breath, almost out of breath, and replied: "Your Majesty, there is some movement in Shoukang Palace today, and the concubine sent palace servants to Zhong's house."
