The New Year is getting closer and closer, and the emperor is getting busier and busier. It took two days to pick up the latest collected works.
Although this matter gave him a headache, it was not brought to his attention. The officials in the court also had their own thoughts, or they thought that Chen Danzhu had always been indulged in front of the emperor, and perhaps there were other deeper dangers that could not be touched.
The officials did not mention this matter in front of the emperor, but regarded it as a private matter of the Imperial Academy.
The emperor was happy and at ease, as long as it didn't make any noise in front of him, the more noisy the words in the anthology were, the more interesting it would be.
Eunuch Jinzhong understood the emperor best. He laid brocade cushions and pillows and poured hot tea. This study was remodeled from King Wu's palace. I have to say that King Wu really knew how to enjoy himself. The hot spring water was introduced under the palace, and the snowflakes were falling outside.
, it’s very warm here.
The emperor has never enjoyed so much in his life, and he is still a little wary, fearing that he will indulge in pleasure, neglect government affairs, and not make progress——
"Your Majesty." A young eunuch poked his head outside and shouted with a bit of panic, "Miss Danzhu is coming to the palace!"
The emperor cleverly sat up straight. In fact, since Chen Danzhu went to make trouble with the Imperial Academy, he hadn't heard the name Chen Danzhu for a month, and he didn't have to worry about it.
"What's she doing here again?" he asked. "Isn't it enough to provoke the scholars to quarrel? She ended up beating them herself?"
And then take the opportunity to make trouble in front of him?
The young eunuch hurriedly said: "Xiaowei Zhulin said he was not asking to see His Majesty——"
The emperor's tense body relaxed, and Eunuch Jinzhong glared at the young eunuch. He was really unreasonable!
Oh no, the emperor sat up straight again and asked warily: "Then who is she looking for? She is not allowed to see Jin Yao. If she messes with the queen, I don't care whether she lives or lives."
The queen was waiting for her to fall into the trap.
The little eunuch opened his mouth to speak, and the emperor asked again: "Third Prince?" He sneered twice. He wanted to see the Third Prince and came to the palace with great fanfare to find him in person? Sitting in the Zhaixing Tower, Peach Blossom watched and called, and his originally gentle and gentle man was as gentle as jade.
The third son, who is personable and well-controlled, will look for her on his own.
Eunuch Jinzhong also felt a headache and scolded the young eunuch: "Who is your master? How did you teach you to reply? That's a long way to go. Come on, who is Chen Danzhu looking for when he enters the palace?"
The little eunuch looked aggrieved. He didn't want to reply. In the past, it was his turn to do the good job of replying to the emperor. But when he saw it was Miss Danzhu, everyone ran away and he was unfortunately pushed out.
"Your Majesty." The little eunuch didn't want to show his face in front of the emperor and said anxiously, "Miss Danzhu said she wanted to find Zhou Xuan."
Zhou Xuan? This is really unexpected. The emperor did not let the young eunuch go and asked, "Why does she want to see Zhou Xuan?"
She and Zhou Xuanshi were in the same boat. It was too late to hide, so why did she come to see her?
"Are you going to show off?" the emperor asked.
The little eunuch trembled: "Slave, I don't know."
"Trash." The emperor waved his hand angrily, "Go away."
The little eunuch wanted to leave, but——
"Your Majesty." Although his master did not teach him how to deal with the emperor, he taught him the most basic rules and asked dutifully, "Then let Miss Danzhu come in?"
What else could the emperor do? If he said he was not allowed to enter, then Miss Danzhu would go crazy and grab Xiaowei and come to make trouble with him - then it would be better to let her make trouble with Zhou Xuan.
"Let her go." The emperor sneered and looked at the little eunuch again, "Follow her and see what she is going to do."
...
...
"Miss Danzhu, please go this way."
The little eunuch turned around to remind him for the third time and stopped the girl who was looking around and walking towards another road. In the winter, he, a low-level eunuch wearing only a thin coat, was actually sweating all over.
"Don't wander around, it's a forbidden area in the palace——"
The forbidden area in the palace, Chen Danzhu looked at the palace city: "I remember that King Wu used to use it as a stage and often held banquets there - now it has been changed to a forbidden area, and it doesn't look very good."
What a treasonous thing to say. The little eunuch wanted to block his ears. He was so unlucky to have received this errand today.
After finally arriving at the palace where Zhou Xuan was, Zhou Xuan was not there. He said he was practicing martial arts in the school grounds. The young eunuch could only take Chen Danzhu, who was looking around and wanting to go into the palace, to quickly go to the school grounds.
From a distance, I saw a young man rolling vigorously in the school yard. There was a circle of guards standing around him. The little eunuch was stopped before he came near.
"General Zhou is not allowed to practice martial arts near him," they shouted coldly.
The little eunuch hurriedly stopped, but was pushed by Chen Danzhu and staggered forward.
"We are here under His Majesty's order." Miss Danzhu said boldly behind him, "Who dares to stop us."
The guards paused, put away their ferocious expressions, and retreated.
The little eunuch was pushed over. Thinking about the rules taught by the master, he shouted in his heart, is this a false edict? Chen Danzhu also said to us, he is that one, he is also a false edict, right? Heaven and earth can learn from it.
Ah, he just passed on the emperor's words for Chen Danzhu to see Zhou Xuan - well, it seems to be his majesty's order, but he always feels that something is wrong.
The little eunuch was being pushed past the guard queue and stood at the edge of the school field. Chen Danzhu looked past him and shouted: "Zhou Xuan."
Zhou Xuan held a long knife in his hand and danced like a tiger in the wind. He didn't know whether he was so focused that he didn't see or hear it, or he just ignored it on purpose.
Chen Danzhu didn't shout anymore, looked around, walked over and picked up the bow and arrow from the weapons rack on the side.
The little eunuch stared, what is she going to do?
Chen Danzhu drew his bow and pointed it at Zhou Xuan. With a buzz, the arrow left the string——
Even though the little eunuch kept his master's teachings in mind, he could no longer bear such unbelievable things and screamed.
With a clang, Li Xuan's arrow was slashed away by a sword in front of Zhou Xuan. The sword did not stop. The young figure looked like a dragon, holding the sword and slashing at him. In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Chen Danzhu.
The little eunuch seemed to smell the smell of rust, no, it was the smell of blood——
He screamed again, and the wind in front of him stopped.
The long sword stood in front of him, and the tall young man also stood in front of him. The strong wind stirred up his falling hair, flying and falling again.
"Chen Danzhu." He sneered, "How dare you kill me?"
Chen Danzhu twirled the bow in his hand: "If my weak bow and arrow could kill you, Mr. Zhou wouldn't stand here wielding a sword or a gun anymore. He would have died on the battlefield long ago. I am with you."
You say hello, Mr. Zhou, you concentrate on practicing martial arts, only martial arts can let you see it."
Zhou Xuan sneered: "It's not that you don't dare, you can't kill me."
"Yes, so Mr. Zhou, don't worry." Chen Danzhu said, seemingly impatient, "Don't think about life and death, let's decide the outcome in front of you first."
Zhou Xuan frowned: "What victory or defeat?"
"You challenged me to compete with me. Have you forgotten?" Chen Danzhu asked, "The scholars have been competing for almost a month now. Are you planning to let them keep competing until the other side wins?
Negative?"
Zhou Xuan couldn't help but laugh: "What nonsense are you talking about?" He sneered again, "Do you still need me to step forward? Miss Danzhu has the third prince by her side. What she wants to do is just a sentence."
"How can it be the same?" Chen Danzhu said, "This competition is ours, and the third prince is from my side." She pointed at herself, "Winning or losing the competition is between you and me."
Her finger pointed at Zhou Xuan again.
Zhou Xuan looked at the little fingers stretched out in front of him. He was really a pampered young lady. Her fingers were white and tender, and her round nails were lightly dyed pink——
He suddenly waved the knife in his hand.
The little eunuch who had just recovered screamed again.
.....
.....
"What happened next?" the emperor asked.
The young eunuch couldn't help but gasp when he thought of what happened just now. He took a few breaths before saying, "Later, Miss Danzhu escaped and her fingers were not cut off. Your Majesty, it was so scary."
The emperor glared at the little eunuch, where did he come from?
"Is Ah Xuan the kind of person who hurts people randomly? Even if he wanted Chen Danzhu to die, he would not kill her in such a way." He said calmly.
When a scholar wants to kill someone, he must always have a reason and learn from famous people.
Even if Ah Xuan holds a knife, he is still a scholar at heart.
"So." The emperor looked at the young eunuch, "Did A Xuan agree to decide the winner?"
The young eunuch nodded: "I agree. Mr. Zhou and Miss Danzhu have agreed to judge the winner three days later."
