Dew timid

Chapter 65

They also sent someone to inquire about the piece of jade used to make the jade tablet, but it was the only one that had been dedicated to His Majesty.

It's hard to find another piece like it in this world.

However, this imitation is an imitation after all, no matter how exquisite and flawless it is, it will eventually be incomplete.

And at this moment in Changxing Palace.

Cooking smoke lingered, murmured chanting came from the back room separated by a wall, and the inexplicable burst of sandalwood made people feel at ease.

Emperor Chengde leaned on the couch with his eyelids half closed, and he was still twisting a string of Buddhist beads in his hands. There were deep marks on the end of his eyes, which was the testimony of the years.

Xiao Qi stood in front of the hall, quietly as if it was just a decoration in the hall.

After a while, Emperor Chengde opened his eyes, his eyes were dark, and fell on the jade tablet on the table in front of him.

Shen Sheng said: "Is this jade tablet really found in that underground palace?"

Xiao Qi nodded, and explained what he saw at the time: "Yes, King Qi and Governor Jiang brought it up together."

The scarlet in Emperor Chengde's eyes gathered and dissipated, and then faded away like this smoke. After a while, he heard him say inexplicably, "What about Jiang Zhuliu?"

"At the post station, do you want people to enter the palace?"

Emperor Chengde nodded wearily, "Well, ask someone to enter the palace with the Prince Su."

Xiao Qi took the order to retreat, and Eunuch Gao outside the door hurried forward when he saw someone coming out, and asked, "Does His Majesty Xiao Tongwei have something to explain?"

He has been guarding the gate for ten consecutive days. Although it is a great honor to be able to guard the gate for His Majesty, it is no different from being out of favor all day long!

Xiao Qi showed a smile, "Don't worry, Eunuch Gao, Xiao Qi will convey His Majesty's will on your behalf, so I won't bother Eunuch."

Eunuch Gao: ...

The old slave likes to do troublesome things!

As soon as Xiao Qi left, a handsome monk came out. He was not tall, and compared to the general height of Da Chu men, it was not too much to say that he was thin and thin.

After shaving a bald head, the whole face looks even more unmodified, like a sculpted person, his voice is very cold, as green as after being moistened by the morning mist, "Your Majesty, the things of the master have been Get ready, I want to ask when Xuelian will arrive?"

Emperor Chengde's complexion changed in vain, and the emperor's attitude became humble, with a smile on his face, "Little master may talk to Master Tanzhi to let him rest, Xuelian is already looking for it." on the way."

The little monk who was called the little master by the emperor frowned, nodded and agreed under the slightly nervous eyes of Emperor Chengde, "Then Ji Nu will go down first, and I hope your majesty will not waste time, otherwise it will cost your majesty time."

Faced with his rude words, Emperor Chengde suppressed his displeasure very quickly, and then said kindly: "What the little master said is true."

As soon as Jinu left, he saw that the previously kind and kind Emperor Chengde's face darkened, looking at the place where the smoke rose, a little cold.

If it wasn't for this group of monks that he had worked so hard to find, it would be of great use. Once the matter is resolved, he will definitely kill all these monks!

However, when Jinu returned to the inner room, he saw several aged monks surrounding him, each of them said one after another, "What's the matter? What do you say, Your Majesty?"

"Did you say when the snow lotus will come?"

"Yeah, if you delay, I'm afraid it will be a waste of time!"

Jinu frowned, and said coldly: "Don't be impatient, just practice hard, if you can't do it this time, do it again."

Among them, an old monk with bushy eyebrows muttered, "This is the first time!"

Jinu gave him a sideways look, "If you don't want to lose your head, then you have to be careful with your words and deeds, otherwise I can't guarantee that everyone in the harem can get out safely!"

Although it was a warning to the old monk, it hit everyone's hearts like a heavy drum.

The group of people who were still talking about it before suddenly fell silent.

A monk who was sitting in a corner and hadn't spoken from the beginning to the end, said, "Ji Nu..."

Seeing that the named Jinu suddenly put his finger on his mouth, his eyes looked towards a dark corner, he walked a few steps towards the monk in the corner, but his eyes never moved away from that corner, he said lightly: "master."

Hearing this, all the monks immediately condensed their voices, not daring to make a sound, their eyes fell on Ji Nu, anxious and nervous.

Feel like sitting on pins and needles, like a light on your back.

The hidden guard in the dark corner stopped for a while, and after the sound of the master falling, there was only a very soft sound of chanting.

After waiting for a while, there was still no movement, so he left.

As soon as the people left, the servant Ji removed his index finger from his lips, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Immediately afterwards, the group of people lost their previous restlessness and became extremely quiet.

Lu Yu met Lu Yu on the palace road, "I have seen the prince."

A way into the palace, this is the second time the two met.

Lu Yu nodded slightly as a response, and then led the servant behind him away.

Lu Yong's eyes fell on the brocade box held by the palace man behind him, and his expression darkened slightly.

The two arrived at Changxing Palace one after the other, the door was opened for a long time, and the sandalwood scent dissipated a lot, but there was still a little smell but it could not be dissipated for a long time, as if it had been deeply imprinted together.

Emperor Chengde has already changed into a set of clothes. Compared with the previous bright yellow clothes, this clothes looks more elegant.

However, the coercion of the emperor cannot be changed by just a piece of clothing, and the awe that belongs to the emperor is overwhelming.

Lu Yu presented the brocade box first, and he lowered his head and the corners of his mouth slightly curved into a very shallow arc.

Emperor Chengde opened the box and took a look, then closed the box.

The palace man behind Lu Yong also quickly presented the box.

Emperor Chengde flew into a rage after just one glance. He stood up abruptly from his seat, with endless stabs in his eyes.

Everyone was shocked and quickly knelt down.

Qi Qi shouted: "Your Majesty, calm down!"

Lu Yu glanced at Lu Yong from the corner of his eye, a little complacent, after today he will let Lu Yong die without a place to bury him!

Naturally, his eyes did not miss the calmness on Lu Yong's face, and the sneer in his heart, let's see how long you can pretend!

Emperor Chengde was obviously very angry, he threw the inkstone to the ground, "Look, let me have a good look at it! This is my good son! He colluded with the rebellious ministers and fell into a place of fire and water!"

Following the anger of Emperor Chengde, Lu Yu's mood became more and more joyful. As long as Emperor Chengde became more angry, there would be no room for Lu Qi to stand up!

The inkstone was overturned to the ground, and several drops of thick ink splashed on Lu Qi's face.

His eyelids trembled slightly, and the madness in his eyes was enough to destroy everything.

Emperor Chengde did not appease his anger, but grabbed the jade card on the table and held it up in his hand. He looked at Lu Yong, "Lu Yong, I want you to say, this jade card is yours?"

Lu Qi raised his head, then nodded.

"Yes, this jade medal is exactly what the father bestowed on his son and minister."

Emperor Chengde said hello three times.

He replaced another piece from the table and asked Lu Yu.

"Prince, I want you to tell me, this jade token is yours?"

Lu Yu raised his head and glanced at the jade tablet in Emperor Chengde's hand, because it was a little blurry from a distance, he said in a careless and firm tone, "It belongs to my minister."

Emperor Chengde was so angry that he almost squeezed out the words, "Prince, open your eyes and look carefully. Is this jade card yours?"

Lu Yu wanted to take a few steps forward to see for himself, but Emperor Chengde was so angry that he didn't dare to move.

I can only bite the bullet and say: "It belongs to my son, and the emperor rewarded my son to keep it safe."

"Keep it safe! Keep it safe! Then I want you to tell me why the jade tablet of King Su is lying in your box!"

Lu Qi's jade token?

Lu Yu was stunned, but raised his head suddenly and bumped into Emperor Chengde's dark eyes, he immediately lowered his head again, his heart beating like a thunderous drum, unable to understand the meaning of Emperor Chengde's words.

"What my father said, my ministers, my ministers don't understand."

He already realized that something was wrong, but at this moment, the chess game trapped him firmly, and he didn't know which move he missed.

Lu Qi asked with some doubts: "Why does His Highness take my jade card and say it's yours?"

His expression is extraordinarily innocent, coupled with his pale face, has a different kind of coquettishness.

Such an appearance shocked Emperor Chengde, and he thought of the woman who had amazed him all his life.
