Doesn't this guy think he is as lucky as last time?
Didn’t you see that one person was about to stand up and be beaten until he burst into tears?
Even if you want to show off, why not at least change your words? Just the same as before, isn't it just asking for death?
"It turns out there are people in this world who are not afraid of death!" Li Boyuan, who had met Xia Shang yesterday, folded his folding fan and felt very happy. He just said that there is always someone to take care of this cheap slave for me. After saying this, he laughed and prepared to watch the show.
Xia Shang's strong words seemed to really offend Mr.
Feng Qi tilted his head and half-squinted his eyes: "It's you little book boy again! When will it be your turn to speak in this palace academy? Come here, kick this disrespectful untouchable out! What's the matter with me?
During recess, this guy is not allowed to go near the school. Li Youlan, from now on, your student can only wait in the Xiyuan and cannot go to school with you."
"Ah?!" Li Youlan was shocked, "Sir, calm down!"
"Don't talk too much, someone will kick me out!"
Feng Qi gave the order, and sure enough, three or two imperial guards came. Without any explanation, they drove Xia Shang outside the school.
Seeing a book boy being kicked out of the school, the students were also a little surprised. They felt that the teacher's actions were too big to drive the book boy away. He also said that he would never be able to come to this school again.
Everyone guessed that by now the poor book boy had been dragged to an uninhabited land by the imperial guards and given a severe lesson, right?
Needless to say, Jiangnan and Youlan were worried. Xia Shang was also confused.
It wasn't until he was taken out of the school and arrived at the entrance of Xiyuan that he saw a carriage parked there and realized that Feng Qi seemed to have an ulterior motive.
After seeing the carriage, several court guards honestly put Xia Shang down and retreated without saying a word.
At this time, a man came out from behind the carriage. He did not face Xia Shang face to face, only showed his back, and threw a hat to Xia Shang with his backhand.
"Sir, bring it with you. It will be more convenient."
Judging from the voice, it was none other than Wei Ting, the chief guard of the inner court whom I met yesterday.
Xia Shang frowned slightly, looked around, and then looked at the bamboo hat hanging on the ground. After picking it up and putting it on, Wei Ting turned to face Xia Shang and said, "Sir, be gentle."
…
At the same time, in a palace in the huge palace, the Queen was pacing anxiously. The Emperor, who was still sleeping on the bed next to her, seemed a little uncomfortable. His breathing was much faster than usual, and he was not accompanied by bouts of coughing.
Only the old eunuch stood in the corner like a motionless mountain, holding a fly whisk and smiling kindly.
The Queen Queen walked around for a few times and finally stopped and asked in a low voice: "Zheng You, you said that Mr. Xiao Xia...hey!"
The words were exhausted, but the voice was cut off.
The old eunuch lowered his head and asked softly: "Do you want to ask Master Xiaoxia if he can cure the emperor's illness, or do you want to ask Master Xiaoxia if he can be a supporter?"
After a pause, the old eunuch added another sentence.
"After the emperor's death."
These words were said in a gloomy tone, and compared with the old eunuch's easy-going nature in the past, he looked quite ghostly.
The queen was silent, her half-narrowed eyes swept over the old eunuch not far away, and her mood became increasingly heavy.
After a long time, she finally took a breath and said: "Li Xin will not let me go. If the emperor dies, you will not take care of me!"
The old eunuch didn't take it seriously: "Then the Queen will pray more and ask Long Live Lord to breathe longer."
"You! You slave!"
The old eunuch was so disrespectful that the queen was so angry that she gasped and her breasts were heaving, but what could she do?
In the entire capital, I am afraid that she, the queen, is the weakest and most helpless force.
After thinking about the old man on the bed dying, she became more and more anxious.
This old eunuch is not a trustworthy person. It is useless no matter how much you talk to him!
The queen stamped her feet and left the palace angrily.
As he walked, he murmured to himself: "There is no one you can trust, no one!"
The current palace is still safe, at least Li Xin's forces don't dare to penetrate here.
The only person in the world that Li Xin can be afraid of is probably the old eunuch who has been with the emperor all his life.
A long time ago, there was a legend in the world that the best master in the world was hiding in the palace in the capital. He was a master who was almost close to a god.
Fifty years ago, there was civil strife in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the four chiefs of the twelve divisions sneaked into the palace with the intention of assassinating the emperor.
The four leaders who were assassinated were the four strongest masters among the twelve divisions, but they were all killed by a mysterious master in the palace.
From then on, there was a legend that the best master in the world was in the palace.
This old eunuch became an object of awe and respect among people all over the world.
Although what happened fifty years ago was just a legend and no one knew whether it was true or false at the time, no one dared to assassinate the emperor after that.
And a year ago, the old eunuch fought against the best master in the south of the Yangtze River, Fairy Shuiyue, in Liuzhuang, and severely injured Fairy Shuiyue in Liuzhuang. The incident also spread to all corners of the world, and the legend of fifty years ago was once again brought to the surface.
in the minds of the world.
Therefore, even Li Xin had to be wary of the old eunuch who stayed by the emperor's side all day long. This was also a major reason why Li Xin only dared to wait for the emperor to die slowly.
This old eunuch is a foolish and loyal person. He is only responsible for the safety of the emperor. He is protecting the queen now because the emperor is not dead yet.
The queen knew very well that once the emperor died, a master like him would definitely leave. How could he care about the life and death of a woman?
Therefore, the queen must start to plan for herself.
I saw her hurriedly walking through several courtyard corridors, and then sent away the accompanying palace maids and eunuchs. Then she changed into a palace maid's outfit and detoured into the imperial garden to avoid people's sight.
…
Xia Shang thought that the sedan chair was going to the palace yesterday, but he soon discovered that the route it was taking was wrong.
I asked Wei Ting, but he didn't say anything and just let Xia Shang sit peacefully.
This time he walked in the palace longer than yesterday. Xia Shang kept paying attention to the carriage route, fearing that he would get lost in the palace.
It wasn't until the fragrance of flowers came from ahead that Xia Shang reached the entrance of a huge garden.
"Sir, we're here."
Xia Shang got off the car, and through the curtain of the bamboo hat he could vaguely see the exotic flowers and plants and rockery in the garden ahead, as well as the white butterflies interspersed and the chirping of birds. Just by looking at it, you can feel that this garden is better than the one in Xiyuan.
The scale is much larger.
"This is the Royal Garden?"
Wei Ting nodded, and then said: "Someone will lead you in."
With that said, a slim little palace maid came to Xia Shang, lowered her head, smiled and made a gesture of invitation.
Wei Ting did not follow, and Xia Shang followed the little palace maid into the garden.
The imperial garden is beautiful, but Xia Shang is not in the mood to appreciate it. What happened today is a bit strange, and many doubts have not been solved. In addition, the palace maid is also very strange. She walked forward quietly, feeling like a machine, and her footsteps were fast.
