Volume III, Chapter 8

The continuous drumming echoed in the city, this is the night when the shops are about to close, Li Yu knew that the drums should be 3,000, and he also wanted to count to see if it was in the end, but every time it didn't work, which made Li Yu a little discouraged.

Li Yu is not counting the drums now, but sitting quietly in the imperial study, the sky is getting dark, and the lights in the imperial study have been lit, shining brightly in front of Li Chen. There were two stacks of pieces in front of him, but he didn't move, only holding a piece of paper in his hand and reading silently, his brow furrowed slightly. In front of the bookcase, there is a palace maid kneeling with her head down, holding a plate with both hands, and there is a jade bowl on the plate, and the bowl is black and bright soup, exuding a different aroma from usual. On the ground was the remains of a porcelain vase, indicating that the owner of the house had just lost his temper. It seems that Li Yu has become the emperor after all, and he no longer worries about whether he can afford it.

After a long time, Li Yu seemed to smell the aroma in the medicine bowl, knew that the time for daily medicine was up, and asked, "The taste of this medicine seems to be different from the past." ”

Li Zhongyan hurriedly smiled: "Everyone is really careful, a few of us still bet that everyone works hard every day and can't notice it." This is a slave who talks a lot, and the medicine he told the hospital to boil for His Majesty is too bitter. Originally, the slave had forgotten about it, but who knew that Imperial Doctor Chen of Tai Hospital really came out with a new recipe, which was filled with spices to cover up the bitter taste. The test drug also said that it was very good, and it was supposed to be taken by everyone at noon. But at noon, everyone was in a big rage, so ......"

Li Yu knew what he was going to say, nodded slightly, and Li Zhongyan hurriedly stepped forward and picked up the medicine bowl.

A palace maid gently closed the door of the imperial study, then turned around, lifted the food box on the ground, and walked out gracefully. A little eunuch outside asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty can take the medicine?" The palace maid nodded. Have you seen it for yourself? The palace maid nodded again. The little eunuch stroked his chest: "Then we can return to the queen." His Majesty has lost his temper since noon and has not taken medicine, but the queen is very worried. Saying that, he followed the palace maid and walked away, and along the way, he had a conversation with the palace maid, and the palace maid laughed and laughed. On the way there, the palace maid and her companions outside converged, and after the little eunuch waited for them to leave, he did not go straight to the harem, but turned around and went to the inner service province.

As soon as he entered the Inner Servant Province, a middle-aged eunuch greeted him and asked, "Why is it so long?" How's it going? ”

The little eunuch nodded. The middle-aged eunuch took the little eunuch into a house. After a while, the little eunuch came out, left the Inner Servant Province, and went to the queen's bedroom. It was heavy in his hand, and he seemed to be holding something. As soon as he came out of the Inner Servant Province, he had just taken a few steps and hummed a small tune. After a while, a carriage drove out of the province and looked in the direction of the palace gate.

Later, a person hurriedly came out of the back door in the courtyard opposite the Inner Servant Province, but he went to the Liangyi Palace.

The carriage was inspected at the palace gate, and there was no problem, so it drove out. The streets of Chang'an were empty, except for the sound of horse-drawn carriages passing by. After this carriage, several more horses came out of the palace gate, and the direction seemed to be the same as the carriage, but only followed from a distance.

The carriage didn't seem to have any destination, just wandering the streets. Just as they passed a large mansion, two men got out of the carriage from the backlit side, and then galloped away, as if nothing had happened. However, there were only two more people on the side door of the mansion, but on a hot day, they touched a cloak and put it on their heads, and looked back from time to time to see if anyone was following them. At this time, the riders behind also rode past the door, and immediately a person seemed to inadvertently turn his head to look at the door. The door of the house reads: Jufu. After a while, someone came out of the door, and two men followed.

Walking through a long corridor, the cloaks of the two men were gone, and in front of a dimly lit room, the people in front of them were just about to knock on the door, when a voice came out:

"Come in!"

The two looked at each other, and the person in front pushed open the door and walked in. When I entered, I saw that there was a small room with two high candles lit in it. Who is sitting behind the bookcase?

The two of them knelt down together and said, "See my father!" When he raised his head, one of them was the middle-aged eunuch just now, he was not much different in age from Ju Wenzhen, but he was called Ju Wenzhen's father-in-law, and it seemed that he was also a shameless person among eunuchs.

Ju Wenzhen sat behind the desk, and when she saw the two of them's gloomy faces, she suddenly stretched, and rubbed the stool next to Nu with her mouth: "**, Jishi, get up and sit down." The two of them said they didn't dare, but they also knew that this was not the time to be polite, so they hurriedly thanked and sat down. It's just that the one called ** only dares to sit on half of the bench, which makes people look really awkward.

Ju Wenzhen's eyes were also disdainful, but she asked with a pleasant face: "What's going on?" ”

The jaw named Ji Shi said: "Tell my father-in-law, everyone has taken the medicine." The pharmacy where the child goes. ** Personally let your nephew go to find out. ”

Ju Wenzhen nodded, a hint of fierceness flashed in her eyes. The person who called ** couldn't help but feel scared in his heart, but his face was still full of smiles.

Ju Wenzhen said: "You guys did a good job on this errand. It's going to be like this every day since then, understand? ”

The two nodded.

Ju Wenzhen continued: "You two go back first, after you go back, it will be as if nothing happened, and after the matter is completed, the benefits of the two of you are indispensable." ”

The two nodded yes and got up to leave.

When the footsteps of the two people were far away, there was a sudden "squeak" in the room, and the bookshelf next to it suddenly moved to the side, and then a person walked out, but it was Yang Zhilian.

As soon as Yang Zhilian came out, he said: "Wenzhen, let's tell the truth, is it too risky?" ”

Ju Wenzhen snorted and said, "Risk? Are you willing to take that risk? It's just that we look wilted, but we're too vicious. The body is not good, even if it takes away the power of our masters. Everyone, you can do it! Zhilian, think about it, everyone first kept silent and pretended not to know about us, and then used the dead ghost Xue Yingzhen to fight for power with our family, we killed Xue Yingzhen, and you brought out Liu Guangqi. In this fight, the right was slowly taken away by him. When we don't have the Shence Army in our hands, how can we still live? If it weren't for the guidance of a master, our family almost died and I don't know how to die. Zhilian, if we don't do this, this lord is so ruthless now, will we live a better life in the future? Everyone, in vain, I want to forget my past suspicions, and serve you well, but you don't appreciate it, no wonder I, Xue Yingzhen, have a hot hand! ”

Yang Zhilian said: "Sure enough, this is the truth. It's just that do you want to talk to Lao Liu and Lao Sun about this matter? We're still a little alone. ”

"They? They want to kill us now. Good climb up on your own. If they are unkind, I will be unjust! Whoever offends me Ju Wenzhen, I will let whoever live in peace! Ju Wenzhen gritted her teeth and said, hearing Yang Zhilian's chills, "Zhilian, the two of us will do this." When it's done, the wealth is ours, so why share it with these two rat-eyed dogs? Zhilian, do you do it or not? ”

Listening to Ju Wenzhen's words, Yang Zhilian's eyes slowly lit up, "!" After that, Ju Wenzhen said: "Then the two of us swear to the sky!" Yang Zhilian nodded fiercely.

The two looked at each other and laughed wickedly.

After the gambling curse, Yang Zhilian asked: "Wen Zhen, I don't know who the master you are talking about?" Can you see it so thoroughly? ”

Ju Wenzhen smiled slightly, clapped his hands, and after a while, the door opened, and a short scribe walked in, saluted Ju Wenzhen, and then turned his head to Yang Zhilian and smiled: "Lieutenant, don't come to harm?" ”

Seeing that it was this person, Yang Zhilian bounced up from his seat and said in surprise: "It turned out to be you!" ”
