There was nothing in the bedroom. Jiang Tangzhou fumbled for a long time before he found a candle that had been left behind for an unknown amount of time. After lighting it, the room was brightened. There are shadows in front of my eyes, which may be a little blurry.
Compared with the place where he lived before, Jiang Tangzhou prefers the place before. At least the room is small, and I don't feel empty and lonely when I'm alone.
After sitting on the pedals for a long time, Jiang Tangzhou didn't hear the sound of listening to the rain, so he went to the mountain by himself. The main thing is to arrange to listen to the rain to do something.
When Ting Yu helped him in earlier, he had almost figured out the way, so he went to the outer hall fairly smoothly, but before he got close, he heard the noise, mixed with Ting Yu's voice, I knew there was a quarrel when I heard it.
Jiang Tangzhou frowned, stopped his pace, and the voice not far away entered his ears effortlessly.
"It's just a thief, how much better quilt do you want? Your master is considered a figure in the sky in Qin Kingdom, but in our Daheng, he is no better than anyone else."
"You—how can you talk like that!" Ting Yu said angrily, "How did you Hengguo teach the servants, even the master dared to arrange them!"
"Only this, only one bed, whether you like it or not!"
…
Although Jiang Tangzhou couldn't see what the quilt that was given out looked like, but he also knew that it was not a useful thing, otherwise Ting Yu would never waste his time talking to them here.
"Believe it or not—"
"Listen to the rain."
Jiang Tangzhou's calm voice fell into his ears, Ting Yu raised his hand and his whole body trembled. The mood that was still under control suddenly collapsed, and tears rolled into his eyes instantly, spinning inside. The back of Ting Yu's hand was suddenly held by Jiang Tangzhou.
Jiang Tangzhou frowned very tightly. Although he couldn't see Tingyu's expression, he guessed that Tingyu must be holding back tears. She would never cry when she was wronged. He pinched his own palm with his fingers, feeling aggrieved—it's true, although he was a useless master in Hengguo, at least he lived a decent life in his mansion.
He sighed softly in his heart, gently opened Ting Yu's tightly clenched hands with his fingers, patted the back of her palm, and said in a low voice: "Go and see the two maids from earlier for me, if you really throw them around If you want to feed the dogs, do good deeds, gather their corpses, and bury them."
Ting Yu sniffed hard, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Well! Lord, I knew you wouldn't let them..."
"Okay." Jiang Tangzhou squeezed her wrist, "Go."
Ting Yu turned her head and gave those people a hard look, then turned around and ran out quickly.
Only then did Jiang Tangzhou turn his head to the side, staring at one place with unfocused eyes, but perhaps it was because of his expressionless face that it made people feel terrified.
"Is there no quilt and jade pillow available?" Jiang Tangzhou asked lightly.
After a moment of silence, a more courageous court lady stood up and said: "Go back to King Zhen, but there are, but you have to go to the House of Internal Affairs not far away..."
"Then what are you still doing here?" Jiang Tangzhou tilted his head.
"Looking at the sky is about to dawn," a little maid muttered, "the people in the House of Internal Affairs may be fast asleep."
After this sentence was finished, no one spoke.
Some of the smarter ones clearly noticed that the air was getting colder and colder, and even shivered involuntarily.
Silence spread for a moment, no one spoke, but no one moved.
Some people looked at each other reluctantly—everyone felt apprehensive, as if this King Zhen was not so easy to bully
Unlike the spat with the maid just now, they dared to say anything. After all, he is the master now, so he only dares to pass all the words in his heart.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't bother to toss with them anymore, he was calm even when he was training others: "Why, no one wants to move?"
There was a rustling sound in my ears.
Jiang Tangzhou snorted lightly, and said every word: "If you look down on me, I'm still a master. If you lose your life, I will have nothing, but if I have good or bad, what will happen to you?" You all know the end of the situation."
— This is threatening him to kill them anytime, anywhere.
After saying this, the court lady who looked a little smart immediately knelt down and said in a loud voice: "I know my mistake, I will go and do it for King Zhen."
One person accepted the softness and confessed, and the others knelt down one after another.
Jiang Tangzhou was quiet, let them kneel down for a while, and then said: "Go and clean up all the things in the palace first, don't sleep tonight."
"yes."
When Jiang Tangzhou returned to his room, the maid had already cleaned his room clean and tidy.
He heard the familiar female voice ask again: "Does King Zhen need someone to wait for him to sleep?"
"No need." Jiang Tangzhou waved her hand and asked her to go out, then asked again, "What's your name?"
"Slave Yan Qing."
Jiang Tangzhou said "Yes", and then Yan Qing closed the door and went out.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't sleep all night, and he didn't return when he heard the rain.
Jiang Tangzhou was the first to think that she was too lazy, and she was delayed for some time, but she could always come back, but when it was noon, Jiang Tangzhou couldn't sit still at all—although Ting Yu was a lazy person, but considering the overall situation, it was all at this moment. I haven't come back yet, so I guess something happened.
He was not familiar with the palace, and he had to go out to find someone, after much deliberation, he wanted to ask Yan Qing to go with him. First, she was asked to inquire about the situation of the two maids yesterday, who would have thought that Yan Qing's voice trembled a little when she spoke, as if she wanted to cry: "Go back to King Zhen, those two... they were thrown behind the imperial garden. "
After thinking about it, Jiang Tangzhou thought something was wrong: "How do you know?"
"Slave... Slave..." Yan Qing pursed her lips before continuing, "The two of them are the sisters of Slave."
Jiang Tangzhou felt dazed for a while, and said after a while: "Then you and this king are together."
Yan Qing knelt down and kowtowed three times: "My servant thanked King Zhen."
Yan Qing led the people to the imperial garden, there was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, which didn't make people feel refreshed, but rather bored. After the two walked for a while, Yan Qing suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
"... It seems that the princes are there." Yan Qing asked in a low voice, "Prince Zhen, why don't we go the other way?"
Jiang Tangzhou was not in the mood to provoke those people, and just as he was about to nod, he heard the fifth prince's voice: "Hey, isn't this King Zhen of Hengguo?"
Jiang Tangzhou frowned calmly.
"Where is this going? Everyone is here, so why not say hello?" The fifth prince Ling and Jin held bows and arrows, flicked them up and down, walked step by step with great interest, and rubbed their chins to speculate , "Let me guess... Could it be that I lost someone by my side, so I was in a hurry to look for it?"
Jiang Tangzhou stopped abruptly and turned to look at him: "Where is Tingyu?"
Ling and Jin laughed: "I think this maid looks lovely, and it should be very delicious to play with, so I temporarily connected her to my Fifth Prince's Mansion—I asked a question late, and I wonder if King Zhen can send her to her?" To this king?"
Jiang Tangzhou's face fell, and he said bluntly: "No."
The smiles on Ling and Jin's faces froze.
Jiang Tangzhou said word by word: "Ting Yufei is an ordinary maidservant. I have been with me since I was a child, just like my own sister. If someone wants to marry her, he must carry a big sedan chair and make up a lot of red. It should be unwilling to make this specification.”
Ling and Jin's expressions froze, as if they couldn't hold back their faces.
The two faced each other silently for a moment, but it was Ling and Jin who were the first to lose control, snorted softly, and said with a smile: "Since King Zhen is not willing, then we have to find a way to get him back from me. "
Jiang Tangzhou said: "How?"
"Well... it happens that my third brother and I are playing archery here, why don't we come and have an exciting game..." Ling Yujin snorted, and looked at him with a half-smile, "King Zhen is here to hold this target. After three arrows, Ben And the king will return the man to you—how?"
Jiang Tangzhou looked at him calmly.
He didn't feel anything—instead, someone on the other side couldn't sit still.
Behind the third prince, another person stood up, dressed in the prince's uniform, holding a jade flute, shaking it up and down, looking this way with an unsuspecting expression, and said word by word: "Fifth brother, this is just for fun." ?" He looked at Ling and Jin with a half smile, and said, "If this is just for fun, why don't you come to hold this target and ask Gu to try three arrows first?"
"You—" Ling Yujin's complexion changed drastically, and they turned to point at Yin Wenzheng.
Yin Wenzheng just laughed: "Or is Fifth Brother afraid?"
"Okay, okay." With one hand parted from the middle, the third prince Ling Xunqin, who had been silent all this time, finally opened his mouth, "Just for fun, the prince still doesn't believe in the skills of the princes? Or else—everyone will change." How about being a target?"
"Brother Three Emperors—" Ling and Jin frowned.
Yin Wenzheng took the jade flute: "No..."
"good."
Yin Wenzheng was blocked by Jiang Tangzhou before he finished speaking. He held the jade flute tightly, and looked at the person standing not far away. He stood upright, his eyes staring straight ahead, but For some reason, it gave people a sense of certainty—they seemed to have met eyes, but Yin Wenzheng felt that it might just be his own illusion.
But no matter what, Jiang Tangzhou's actions made Yin Wenzheng feel that the other party was telling him not to worry about him.
Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and sat back down again.
The feeling of holding a target and being pointed at by an arrow is really uncomfortable.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't think that he was immortal, but that none of these people really dared to take his own life in front of so many people.
They just take pleasure in bullying themselves.
He was used to being bullied since he was a child, and Jiang Tangzhou did not miss this once or twice. He didn't even close his eyes, and let three arrows swish, one of them passed by his side, one hit the bull's-eye, and one missed and fell on his head. hurt.
Jiang Tangzhou set the target, raised his eyebrows slightly, stood to the side, gestured in the direction of the third and fifth princes, and said, "Please." He signaled them to come to their positions.
Everyone was stunned, only Yin Wenzheng let out a chuckle: "It's hard to follow a gentleman's words, why, the third brother and the fifth brother are planning to go back on their word?"
Jiang Tangzhou added another sentence: "May I ask whether the third prince or the fifth prince came first?"
