Jin Wangfu.
Xie Xuanji was walking in the palace, and the confidant beside him asked worriedly: "My lord, when King Qiyang wakes up... can you tell the sage?"
If it were normal, Xie Xuanji would have been in the newspaper early in the morning, but this time... Every time Xie Xuanchen wakes up, he starts to move the crowd, and half of the court is disturbed. The emperor asked, how would he explain that he was alone in Yulin Hall
After all, it's melon Tian Li Xia, and it's hard to argue. Xie Xuanji coughed lowly and said, "Second brother fainted after waking up for a while. Let the sage know that it is just to increase his worry. Let's report to the palace when the second brother's situation stabilizes."
The confidant frowned unknowingly: "However, King Qiyang is born with divine power and extraordinary force, and at this sensitive time, if you hide it and don't report it, if you miss something, wouldn't it be impossible to explain it?"
"No." Xie Xuanji said firmly, "he was exhausted after only waking up, and he vomited blood before fainting. His body began to deteriorate since the beginning of the year, waking up once and not waking up, has no impact on the final result. Influence. These little things, there is no need to disturb father. "
King Jin said this, even if his confidants still felt that it was inappropriate, it was not easy to talk about it at this moment. Xie Xuanchen can make great contributions to the founding emperors of the two dynasties, not just for fun. Xie Xuanchen was born with divine power, and at the age of fifteen he could draw a bow of twenty stones and immediately use six stones. Someone once made a bet on whether Xie Xuanchen could lift a 100-pound iron spear. Xie Xuanchen thought it was light after hearing it, and held a 200-pound iron spear in public.
Great strength is the crushing suppression. When the strength reaches a level, no skill is required, and the opponent can be killed only by weight. Xie Xuanchen is extremely powerful. He has been in the military camp since he was a child, and he can order all kinds of weapons. This kind of person is in front of the battle, that is, a big killer at the level of destruction.
If he was just a single soldier, the imperial court would not be so afraid of him, but he had a good brain and was a rare general. Xie Xuanchen joined the army at the age of fifteen, and after that, he repeatedly defeated more with less. Later, Emperor Gong of Jin, Emperor Zhou Ai, and Emperor of Southern Tang all died in his hands. Xie Rui could not be afraid. If Xie Xuanchen was sober, Xie Rui would not dare to sit even if Xie Xuanchen gave up the throne.
Xie Xuanchen has become the emperor's heart disease. If there is any movement in the Qiyang Palace, the emperor will have to lose sleep for several days. Xie Xuanchen wakes up about such a big thing, King Jin conceals it and does not report it, how can his confidants rest assured
But the salary of the king is to be loyal to the king, and the confidant takes the money of the king of Jin, how can he go against the will of the king of Jin. Xie Xuanji refused to report, and his confidants could probably guess the reason.
Xie Xuanji came out of the Qiyang Palace. Apart from the guards, there was only one living person in the Qiyang Palace. What the King of Jin is going to do today is well known to his confidants.
It's hard to say this kind of thing, it's taboo to say too much. So King Jin insisted on concealing it, and after persuading his confidant a few words, he shut up wisely.
In fact, Xie Xuanji has some regrets now. It would be nice if he went to the Qiyang Palace another day, and now he can report generously. In order to please the emperor, he deliberately set up his residence next to the Qiyang palace. No matter what Xie Xuanji said, he was a little scared.
With a tiger tied to the side of the couch, who can feel at ease? Xie Xuanji also wants to stab Xie Xuanchen's sobriety out, and then either add medicine or add manpower. In short, he must ensure the safety of Jin Wangfu. However, the problem is that once Xie Xuanji tells the emperor that Xie Xuanchen is awake, it means that his whereabouts cannot be concealed. How was Xie Xuanji going to explain to the emperor and many imperial physicians that he appeared in the Qiyang Palace, and that he saw Xie Xuanchen wake up when he was talking to Princess Qiyang
If it was a coincidence, Xie Xuanji himself would not believe it.
It was difficult for him to justify himself, and he could only bite the bullet and hide the whole thing. Fortunately, Xie Xuanchen fainted just after waking up, and there was no big mistake. As for Mu Mingtang... Xie Xuanji didn't care, what tricks she could toss out as a girl.
Xie Xuanji's feelings for Mu Mingtang are actually very simple. He doesn't think much of this low-born and vulgar substitute. If it wasn't for the purpose of creating an affectionate character, stabilizing the emperor, and wooing Jiang Honghao by the way, Xie Xuanji would definitely not accept it. This brutish fake princess. However, after all, Mu Mingtang has a certain beauty, and he is deeply in love with him, so no man will refuse the beauty he brings. Naturally, his wife should be a lady like Jiang Mingwei, but it's okay to keep a beautiful vase in the mansion next to her and try it occasionally.
They each thought about their own thoughts and walked for a while in silence. When he walked to the study, his confidant asked, "King Jin, King Qiyang used to be like a god, and he was full of tricks. Although he was in a coma for a long time, it should not be underestimated. Today, is he really in a coma?"
Xie Xuanji also thought about this question. He walked behind the desk, thought about it, and said, "I saw him vomit blood in a coma with my own eyes. Bai Bai, the blood he vomited was bright red."
Spitting up blood is not a good sign, let alone bright red blood. My confidant is a little relieved, but...
"King Jin, what if?"
"There won't be any emergency." Xie Xuanji was disdainful, "Even if he can really act to this point, the black iron chain made of fine iron can't be faked. Even if he wakes up, he can't break free from the black iron chain, but he's just lingering. "
Yes, the black iron chain. The confidant thought of the very heavy iron chain, and his heart finally became more stable. This pair of chains was ordered by the late emperor Xie Yi. At that time, Xie Xuanchen was much more lethal than it is now. No one could subdue him. Xie Yi was angry again and ordered Xie Xuanchen to be locked up. Later Xie Rui ascended the throne, with Xie Yi's will as a shield, justifiably imprisoned Xie Xuanchen, and quietly strengthened it several times.
This pair of black iron chains is the iron cage that closes the tiger, and no one dares to bear the price of the tiger's release. The confidant sighed and said, "As long as the black iron chain lasts, the society will be stable for one day. I just hope that the king of Qiyang will stay safe and not go crazy."
Xie Xuanji sneered: "It's impossible for him to break free. The keys are divided into two, one is with me and the other is taken by my father. As long as any one is missing, the chain cannot be opened. Unless he cuts his hands and feet, Otherwise there is no way to escape."
·
Outside the Yulin Hall, the alarm has not been lifted, and the guards are still very strict. Mu Mingtang opened the door to pick up the meal, and saw the soldiers in heavy armor outside the corridor patrolling day and night, not letting up for a moment. The head of the guard was also at the gate, and when he saw Mu Mingtang coming out, he asked, "Please see Wang Fei in a humble position. Wang Fei, how is King Qiyang's condition? Do you have any symptoms of waking up?"
Mu Mingtang shook his head and sighed softly: "No. He fell into a coma after vomiting blood, and is still asleep."
The head guard didn't know whether to breathe a sigh of relief or to be more concerned. He clasped his fists and said, "Prince Lao, pay more attention. As long as there is the slightest movement, the princess will immediately come out and tell me to wait, there must be no luck."
"Well, I know." After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he went in with a heavy face and carried the food box. After closing the door, Mu Mingtang quietly lay on the door, listened for a long time and made sure that there was no suspicion outside, then slipped back to the bedroom like a thief.
"My lord, I'm back." Mu Mingtang walked to the West Hall and whispered, "Don't worry, they didn't find out!"
After Mu Mingtang finished speaking, he felt strange: "Why does it seem like I'm hiding someone in the house? Avoid people's eyes and ears, sneak around, be more careful than cheating."
Xie Xuanchen was studying the handcuffs. At first, he didn't bother to pay attention to it. Hearing what "Tibetan" and what "cheating" were behind him, the veins on his hands exploded, and he couldn't bear it anymore: "How do you talk?"
"It was originally." Mu Mingtang said as he brought out the food in the food box, "Look, even the meal has to be delivered secretly. In the past, the concubine next door to our house stole people, that's how it was."
Xie Xuanchen got angry and made a clattering sound from the chain. Mu Mingtang was startled, and hurriedly booed him: "Shh, don't make a sound!"
Xie Xuanchen really stopped, the two of them were silent for a long time, Mu Mingtang was still listening under the window, and when he saw that the people outside didn't notice, he breathed a long sigh of relief: "It scared me to death. It’s really not something ordinary people do, and I’ll be scared to death if I come here a few more times.”
Xie Xuanchen held back this time. A man can bend and stretch, and he doesn't care about this mere stigma. After Xie Xuanchen thought about it, he realized that something was wrong. No, they were obviously a serious husband and wife. Why did he also think in the direction of cheating and adulterer
Mu Mingtang didn't notice Xie Xuanchen's strange and tortuous heart, she served Xie Xuanchen a dish and brought it to the bed. He just woke up now, and Mu Mingtang didn't dare to give him too greasy food, so when he ordered, he ordered tofu, chicken and other nourishing and easy to digest food. She brought it over to feed Xie Xuanchen, Xie Xuanchen's face was stiff and reluctant.
Mu Mingtang knew what this ancestor was thinking when he saw his face. She was very patient and said, "My lord, you have a chain on your hand. This thing will ring when you touch it. Why don't you let me come."
People were under the eaves and had to bow their heads. Xie Xuanchen could only accept the treatment of being fed. Fortunately, Mu Mingtang is very skilled in feeding. He can bite it as soon as he lowers his head. Every time the dishes are not big or small, just the entrance.
No matter what else, it's really comfortable to eat like this... Xie Xuanchen swallowed the food and asked, "You know a lot of things, but where did you learn them?"
"It still needs to be learned?" Mu Mingtang laughed, "If parents are worried, they won't be able to learn anything. If they leave people out, they will be able to learn everything in less than a year."
After Mu Mingtang fed him, he gave him water before eating by himself. Mu Mingtang eats more quickly than Xie Xuanchen. Xie Xuanchen has just woken up and can still be awake for a while. He has nothing to do at the moment, so he can only watch Mu Mingtang eat.
Mu Mingtang was very serious when he was eating. When chewing, he pursed his mouth, making no sound or appearing flustered. His cheeks were bulging like a chipmunk. She looks delicate when she eats, but she is actually very fast. Each bite of her is not big, but she moves fast, and she is not picky about eaters. Those charming young ladies in Tokyo would pick and choose after a meal, disliking the East and the West, and when they finished eating, the capital could be beaten down.
Xie Xuanchen's eating habits are similar to Mu Mingtang. On the battlefield, he can't afford to pay attention to it. Fast food is a must for those on the march. As for picky eaters... If his people dare to eat picky eaters, Xie Xuanchen can kill this fellow with his own hands.
Xie Xuanchen watched for a while, and finally found one thing, the bowl in Mu Mingtang's hand looked familiar
In order not to make the outside suspicious, the two of them can only use one bowl, otherwise two bowls are used for a meal, isn't it not self-inflicted. Xie Xuanchen was suddenly embarrassed. He closed his eyes and didn't look any further.
When Mu Mingtang was eating, he was so focused that he couldn't find out if anyone was looking at her. When escaping, if you have something to eat, you should eat it quickly. If you look around, you may be snatched away at some point. After she finished eating, she cleaned up the dishes and saw that Xie Xuanchen was quiet, thinking that he was out of energy again, so she didn't think much, and went out with the food box.
Mu Mingtang put the food box outside, and the patrolling soldiers were not suspicious. She cheered quietly in her heart. Today is also a day when she secretly raised people in the house but was not found outside.
Mu Mingtang hurriedly walked back, and found that Xie Xuanchen was lowering his head to study the chains of black iron chains. Mu Mingtang now knows the origin of these chains, and seeing this scene is undoubtedly very sad.
Who would have thought that this was Xie Xuanchen's father, and the late emperor Xie Yi personally ordered it to be locked on Xie Xuanchen's body. When Xie Yi ordered, he also said that without his verbal order, no one can open it for Xie Xuanchen. But not long after, Xie Yi died.
Naturally, it was impossible for him to get his word of mouth.
Mu Mingtang looked sad, the physical harm this shackle brought to Xie Xuanchen was second, and the psychological blow to him was the most important.
This pair of black iron chains reminded him all the time that he was no longer a general who was admired by thousands of people and made great achievements, but a sinner who slaughtered his comrades and murdered like a numb.
Heroes of war, sinners of peace.
Mu Mingtang tried his best to pretend that he didn't notice anything, walked up to him, and said softly: "My lord, I met some strange people on the road, one of them is a thief, and the skill of unlocking is ancestral. I told him After learning for a while, why don't I try it?"
