"Madam, you only take guard Jin out of the palace?"
Grandpa Liu was ready. He went wherever ye Xiyue went. However, he was told that she and the third prince only took Jin when they left the palace, but not him!
Ye Xiyue heard father-in-law Liu's extremely wronged tone, looked up at him and gave him a direct puff.
"Why, father-in-law Liu, do you also want to see the fragrance building?"
She didn't expect this. After all, in a place like Piaoxiang building, she thought father-in-law Liu wouldn't like to go.
Moreover, the third prince took her out of the palace and concealed it from the emperor. He had to take risks. Naturally, the fewer people he took, the better.
Grandpa Liu naturally knew where the fragrance building was. When asked by Ye Xiyue, his face suddenly smothered and didn't say a word for a long time.
Ye Xiyue looked at him like this, closed the smile on her face, stretched out her hand and patted him on the shoulder.
"Grandpa Liu, I'm worried about going out of the palace without your Majesty's order. But if someone as smart as you is in the palace and carrying it for me, I'll be much more relieved. If there's anything really, I believe you can handle it. I took guard Jin because he has excellent martial arts and can protect me and the third prince, but if he stays in the palace, he'll be bored Gourd's temperament. He can't handle anything. "
To tell you the truth, guard Jin stayed in the palace. If someone came to find Ye Xiyue, I'm afraid he didn't bother to talk to anyone!
When Grandpa Liu heard Ye Xiyue's words, he was helpless and helpless. After thinking about it, he could only nod silently.
"The lady should be careful when she goes out. She will come back early after checking."
"Well, that's natural."
Ye Xiyue nodded, still fiddling with the newly made pills and some things for emergencies.
Grandpa Liu stood and looked at it with curiosity, but he didn't say anything more.
The house suddenly became silent, waiting for the third prince to enter the palace. At that time, ye Xiyue and Jin bodyguard will dress up and follow him out of the palace.
……
At the beginning of the Lantern Festival, at the end of the long street, there are small buildings full of lanterns, the sound of silk and bamboo, the noise of singing and dancing, the crisscross of drinking and preparation, and the excitement.
Piaoxiang building is the most famous GouLan courtyard in Beijing Zhongchang street. Every night, there is an endless stream of guests here, and the noise can be lively until midnight.
The first mock exam man in the south wing of the third floor was a handsome man who was leaning against the soft collapse of the window. He was wearing a green long gown, with a very light color and a roll of cuffs on the side of the cloud, and a green bamboo tree was embroidered on his skirts.
Even such plain clothes still can't hide the gorgeous face in front of us.
He gently supported his jaw with one hand, and his sleeve slid down with his action, revealing half snow white skin, crystal clear, like jade.
"Lord."
A woman in a rouge gown with gorgeous makeup stood a few steps away from the soft collapse and called respectfully.
Duan Li raised his eyes, his indifferent eyes fell on his face, and his voice opened coldly, "what's the matter?"
"My Lord, the prince's house sent someone to pick up several girls in our building. It's been three days and there's no news at all. Am I going to the prince's house to ask for them?"
Liu Fu's tone is always respectful. Apparently, she is the old / bustard of the fragrance building, but in fact, she is Duan Li's subordinate, specially responsible for collecting all kinds of intelligence.
Although she had seen Duan Li several times before, she couldn't understand his character, and she didn't dare to guess it easily. She could only pour out all her thoughts in her heart without missing a word, for fear that she might say something wrong and annoy the Lord.
"You don't need to worry about it. Someone will deal with it."
"Yes, Lord."
Liu Fu breathed a sigh of relief. Her heart beat so much that she didn't even dare to look up at Duan Li.
"If you have nothing to do, go out."
"Yes, Lord."
As soon as Liu Fu left, the wing room was quiet again, but there was still a faint sound of silk and bamboo outside the window. Duan Li turned and looked at the moonlight outside the window.
A faint light flashed in his eyes. The agreed time was coming, but I didn't know what method the one was going to use to get him into the palace.
Although he can sneak in, he doesn't have to work hard since someone is willing to help.
Shrouded in the night, the silver moonlight scattered from the windowsill and fell to the ground.
Duan Li leaned in front of the window, with long green silk scattered on his thin back, revealing a small half of his side face, which was surprisingly beautiful.
With his chin in one hand, he was lazy all over. He yawned a little, dazed, his eyelids trembled, and he was a little sleepy.
The house was lit with incense, which he always liked. The faint aroma of bamboo and wood lingered on the tip of his nose, which was very comfortable and good.
The noise outside the window was still so loud, and the incoming and outgoing voices kept coming. He listened quietly. I don't know how many entered his ears, but his face was still that cold and faint expression, as if nothing could stir up his heartstrings.
Until there was a sudden change in the room. The sound was very light, but no matter how light it was, it could not escape Duan Li's eyes.
He raised his eyes and glanced at it indifferently, with a faint light in his eyes.
"It has been arranged, childe. Please."
The visitor is dressed in black and moves cleanly. He is an expert.
Duan Li raised his eyebrows slightly, got up slowly from the soft collapse, and followed the man in black out.
In the back lane of Piaoxiang building, there was a gorgeous carriage with exquisite silk hanging on all sides, and the gilded window was covered by a curtain of moonlight Satin yarn.
The inside is covered with thick cushions. The table is made of red sandalwood. There are exquisite tea sets on it. The tea fragrance curls. Sitting on it and sipping a sip of green tea is also arbitrary.
Duan Li's slender fingertips gently lifted the curtain and sat in.
The man in black seemed to have disappeared. The coachman was a man dressed as a eunuch. With a sharp voice, the carriage was driven forward.
After shaking for some time, the carriage suddenly stopped and the surroundings were too quiet.
The curtain in front of him was gently lifted, and Duan Li came down from the carriage. He was wearing a light cyan cloak, and the towering palace was within his sight.
His lips showed a sarcastic smile. He looked at the grey eunuch kneeling at his feet. His voice was warm and cool. "Lead the way ahead."
"Yes."
Duan Li was actually a little surprised. He thought he would come to the palace in a relatively low-key way. Unexpectedly, he came in in such a gorgeous carriage.
I was not even stopped in front of the palace just now. Obviously, the eunuch driving the car is not an ordinary person.
He didn't know what the man who called him was up to, but this one tonight, I'm afraid it will be noisy all over Beijing tomorrow.
The eunuch in front of him didn't walk fast. He seemed to accommodate Duan Li deliberately. He carried an orange lantern in his hand and led Duan Li all the way to the gate of Ziyang palace.
Ziyang palace is the emperor's bedroom. There are many bodyguards at the gate of the palace. When they see the eunuch who leads the way, they salute respectfully.
Duan Li drooped his eyelids, the sarcasm on his lips had disappeared, and his face was light. Even if he was stared at by the guards with a strange and extreme line of sight, there was no superfluous reaction.
The emperor sat on the spacious dragon bed, dressed in bright yellow profanity / clothes, and his angular face was solemn and full of authority. Even if his face was a little pale at the moment, he could not hide the invisible authority from his whole body.
Standing close, the emperor in front of him was still handsome, although he was middle-aged.
Duan Li narrowed his eyes and looked at the emperor in front of him. When he looked at the emperor, the emperor opposite was naturally looking at him with a kind of line of sight.
A faint threat enveloped Duan Li. The emperor's vision was very sharp. He half narrowed his eyes, his thin lips pursed slightly, and there was a thick cool thin between his eyebrows.
Duan Li didn't kneel down to salute or speak, so he stood quietly.
He was thin and slender, but his back was very straight, and his eyes were arrogant enough. The emperor looked at it for a while, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"I really haven't seen ah Li for many years. You... Have grown up!"
With this smile, the originally cold facial features were all softened. The emperor looked at Duan Li, and his eyes showed a trace of complex and indistinguishable emotion, which was all pressed on the bottom of his eyes and difficult to see.
The slender eyelashes gently fanned, Duan Li pulled the corners of his mouth in a very soft voice, "see your majesty."
"What's your name, your majesty? Ah Li didn't call me that before!"
Duan Li flashed a faint light in his eyes and didn't answer.
"You'd better call me uncle Yun. I like your name."
The emperor looked into his eyes and suddenly showed a trace of nostalgia. He was missing others in touduanli.
Duan Li nodded slightly and said, "Uncle Yun."
His voice fell, and the emperor's face became softer and softer. It was a kind of loving eyes of elders looking at younger generations.
"Ah Li, you've worked hard all these years!"
Hard work
Duan Li didn't know how to understand the word, but somehow he didn't like it.
The emperor understood his eyes, but he didn't intend to say more. He leaned against the head of the bed and coughed a few times.
The poisoned body, even after ye Xiyue's diagnosis and treatment, the remaining poison is slowly relieved, and has been nourished by so many expensive herbs for so many days, but there will still be discomfort. The body is losing more money.
Because of his physical discomfort, he also ignored the words he planned to exchange greetings and simply came straight to the point.
"Ah Li, why did I suddenly call you into the palace?"
Duan Li looked up at him with a clear and clean voice, "is it for the waste prince?"
Even if the crown prince is abolished, he has done a lot behind his back. Some things have even gone beyond the tolerance of the emperor.
The emperor looked at him with a low smile from the bottom of his throat. "Ah Li is really smart, but I want you to enter the palace tonight, not just because of him. Ah Li has returned to Beijing for many days. What do you think of the current situation in Kyoto?"
The situation in Kyoto
Duan Li pondered in his heart. He had his own thoughts, but he didn't say it directly. He just waited for the emperor to continue.
The Emperor gave him a deep look in his eyes and his voice was a little deep. "Ah Li, I want you to find a way to get close to the town general Xiao lie. Do you have a way?"
