Xue Xingchuan led Huo Yunlin and greeted him at the exit of the passage. The second strongest among the thirty-eight god generals in the mainland, his attitude at this time was extremely submissive. Huo Yunlin who was led by him was even more unbearable, his body kept shaking, he couldn't stand still at all, his tail like a fire hammer kept swinging, it looked very pitiful.
The middle-aged woman raised her eyebrows slightly.
Xue Xingchuan didn't know why the mount behaved so strangely tonight, he got up and tried to explain: "My lady has boundless power..."
The middle-aged woman is the Holy Empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the most honorable master of this world.
"It has nothing to do with me, and you don't have to be nervous." She recalled the picture of the boy from the Orthodox Academy holding a sword hilt at the door, walked up to Huo Yunlin, and stretched out her hand to gently stroke its neck. After a while, Huo Yunlin calmed down.
"Stay farther away next time, otherwise it might lose its strength and die." She looked at Xue Xingchuan and said.
Xue Xingchuan shuddered slightly when he heard the words, and thought to himself, could it be because of that ordinary boy named Chen Changsheng
"You think he's really ordinary?"
The Holy Queen seemed to be able to see what was going on in people's minds, and said calmly: "If he is really an ordinary boy, how can he resist Gou Hanshi at the Ivy Banquet? If he has no skills, he will be pushed away by those old guys." Come out and lose my face?"
Xue Xingchuan remained silent, because it was inconvenient for him to speak at such a time, especially today when the empress clearly showed dislike for the Orthodox Academy, so in the daytime, he might have made a big mistake when dealing with the public besieging the Orthodox Academy.
…
…
There was only one bright night pearl on Gan Terrace, and the black sheep named Heiyu was standing beside that night pearl, lowering its head to grind its non-existent horns on the bright pearl, while Mo Yu was grinding ink in front of the desk. , the high-altitude night wind blew the hair on her cheeks, a little messy.
Hearing the voice, she turned around and saw that it was the Holy Empress on the stage, so she hurried forward to support her.
"Your Majesty, the autumn rain has washed the sky several times. Tonight is just right for stargazing, but you are late."
The Holy Queen said: "I have seen it tonight."
Mo Yu was slightly startled, Xiao Yi asked, "Where did you read it?"
The Holy Queen said: "Herbal Garden."
Mo Yu was slightly startled when she heard the words, thinking that everyone in the palace knew that since the late emperor passed away, the empress had never been to the Baicao Garden again, why did she make an exception tonight
"Did you go to the Orthodox Academy today?" The Holy Queen asked seemingly casually.
It's useless for her to hear that you went to the Orthodox Academy, because she is the Holy Queen, so she doesn't need to beat around the bush.
The chill in Mo Yu's heart grew stronger, she dared not hide anything, and said softly, "Yes."
The Holy Empress raised her right hand, gently stroked Mo Yu's cheek, and said, "You did all these things?"
Mo Yu knew that the empress was asking about the two murders that happened in succession today, and the role played by the Tianhai family in this incident.
She didn't know the attitude of the empress, how could she dare to admit it casually, and said softly: "I don't dare."
"They don't ask you, how dare they make casual moves? The Orthodox Academy is so close to the palace."
The holy queen looked at her and said lightly, her right hand continued to caress her face gently.
Mo Yu noticed the faint smile on the corner of the empress's lips, and felt extremely chilled, feeling very scary.
How did she know that the Holy Queen was just thinking of the boy from before, and was comparing the textures.
Mo Yu lowered his head and said: "The matter of the marriage contract has to be resolved... Xu Yourong used the marriage contract as an excuse to refuse to marry Mr. Qiushan, the north and the south meet..."
"So what about the confluence of the north and the south? As I said, you can marry if you don't want to, but... no one believes what I said."
The Holy Queen withdrew her hand, and walked to the Gan Terrace with her hands behind her back. Looking at the capital under the night, her voice seemed a little lonely, "You always think that I put the world first, and it's nothing if some children's love is sacrificed? So you don't believe it?" , even You Rong didn't believe it, and for this reason... exhausted all means."
After a moment of silence, Mo Yu said: "Even if I ignore the marriage contract, I still think that young man is a bit strange, and the timing of his appearance is too coincidental."
What she said coincidentally meant that Chen Changsheng's marriage contract with Xu Yourong had a very bad impact on Da Zhou's established national policy, and the Orthodox Academy where he was now was a symbol used by the old forces in the capital to contend with the empress.
The Holy Queen did not turn around, and said in a calm tone, "Didn't you let him enter the Orthodox Academy?"
Mo Yu's expression was slightly cold, and he said: "Yes, but I was wondering if someone was secretly helping me to make this wrong decision by taking advantage of the letter from the Dong Yushen General's Mansion to suppress Xu Yourong and mislead me to make this wrong decision. Chen Changsheng appeared in front of everyone in the capital."
"So what if it appears?"
"His surname is Chen. I suspect that those people deliberately remind the people of Kyoto of the royal family."
"... Then how did you check?"
"His teacher is indeed Taoist Ji... and then there is no further investigation. According to the news from Xining, the ruined temple is still there, but there is no one there."
Hearing Taoist Ji's name, the Holy Empress was silent for a long time, then suddenly said: "Don't look into it."
Mo Yu was a little surprised and didn't understand why.
The holy queen looked at the starry sky quietly, there was destiny there, but no one could see her own destiny clearly, and neither could she.
But she has the confidence to control her own destiny, and the sky cannot disturb her.
That boy is his nemesis
Ridiculous.
"Kyoto is huge," she said.
Mo Yu was slightly different, not understanding the meaning of these four characters.
"The continent is also big, and the sky is even bigger, but nothing compares to my heart."
She said slowly: "Could it be that I can't accommodate a college?"
Mo Yu was even more surprised, even if the empress didn't like it, she was ready to object.
The Holy Queen did not turn around, but raised her right hand, indicating that there is no need to discuss this matter further.
This was the first time she expressed her attitude towards the Orthodox Academy, and it was also the last time.
Her attitude towards the Orthodox Academy depends on her attitude towards Chen Changsheng. She knows about Chen Changsheng's illness and feels pity for him. No matter who or what he is being used by, she decides to give him a chance to prove that she has lived. Chance.
"Don't bother that boy again, at least until the big imperial examination."
Mo Yuyu was still shocked, so he listened to the empress's words again, and asked puzzledly, "Why is it the imperial examination?"
The Holy Queen said: "A child who has not been able to practice until now, only wants to get the first place in the grand examination. Don't you think this is very interesting? Don't you think this child is very interesting?"
Thinking about Chen Changsheng's dull appearance, Mo Yu thought, what's so interesting
Then looking at the figure beside Gan's Terrace, she suddenly felt that Niangniang was a little different from usual today, but she couldn't tell what was the difference.
…
…
"Those people have moved to Li Palace, and I won't let people live in it in the future, disturbing the tranquility there, so don't give me dreams... Well, even if you have dreams, can you talk about some happy things instead of complaining all the time? "
The holy queen quietly looked at the night sky, looked at an empty place, and said silently: "I went to the Baicao Garden to drink tea today."
That position in the night sky is now nothing but nothingness, but twenty years ago, there used to be an extremely bright star there.
That is an emperor star.
That star is of great significance to her, just like Baicao Garden.
Hundreds of years ago, she was forced to go out of the palace, and she was led to practice in the Herb Garden, where she lived for several years.
During those few years, the first emperor would come out of that door every night to meet her.
She is a Taoist nun, and because of those things, I don't know how many people in the court secretly spy on her. Even among the closest people, I don't know if there are other people's eyes and ears. Even if I dare to meet the late emperor, it is inconvenient to do something too extreme .
What she and the late emperor did most in the Baicao Garden was drinking tea, talking to each other without words, only tears.
Occasionally, in the dead of night, when no one was around, the most intimate gestures she and the late emperor had ever done were just touching their faces and staring at each other bewilderedly.
"Tonight I saw a boy who looks like you..."
The queen looked at the night sky and said with a smile.
But the next moment, her smile suddenly disappeared, and her voice became extremely indifferent, even cold: "It just so happens that his surname is also Chen."
…
…
The autumn rain falls and rests, not as lingering as the spring rain, and also a little annoyingly cold.
It seems like nothing happened, but a lot of things have actually happened.
The Holy Empress did not express a single word of opinion on the turmoil in the capital, but anyone who is qualified to know her opinion knows it.
So Kyoto regained peace.
The missions from the south seemed to be isolated from the outside world in the attached courtyard of the Li Palace.
Jing Hong happened to see His Royal Highness Luo Luo in the world, but there was no more news, and it was said that he was also in the Li Palace.
The Tianhai family is collecting rare treasures everywhere, it is said that it is to prepare for the marriage between Tianhai Shengxue and Princess Pingguo next year, and Tianhai Shengxue will return to Yongxue Pass.
Some of the students who passed the preparatory examination of the Great Court Examination were recruited by various colleges, and some were preparing hard in the inn.
The center of gravity of life in Kyoto and the focus of discussions have shifted to the approaching imperial examination.
Once the focal point—the Orthodox Academy is now very peaceful.
After that autumn rain, no one dared to come to the Orthodox Academy to make troubles, and the Orthodox Academy had no intention of repairing the gate. The dilapidated gate was just a silent mockery of the Tianhai family. This is probably the so-called Put badly.
There are countless people in Kyoto who miss Chen Zhou's prosperity and hate Tianhai's family. Gradually, the dilapidated gate of the Orthodox Academy has become a famous scenery. People come here every day to express their love for Tianhai's family and even The empress's objection.
The concierge of the Orthodox Academy is also a part of the scenery - he participated in the last war against the demons, and he is a legendary celebrity like Jin Yulu. He is not something you can see easily in other places, let alone every day. arrived.
As for the teenagers in the Orthodox Academy... The people who stopped outside the entrance of the Orthodox Academy were talking about Xu Yourong's fiancé, their faces were full of disdain and contempt, but the voices of the discussions were very low, and no one dared to swear a word of swearing. .
Because now everyone in Kyoto knows that there are a lot of stones in the National Education Academy...
The gate of the Orthodox Academy turned into a landscape, but few people dared to walk into this landscape.
Of course, some people don't care about these things at all, and can even sleep in this scenery.
The autumn forest outside the window is golden in the sun, which is very beautiful.
Chen Changsheng withdrew his gaze from the window, looked at the waterfall-like black hair beside the quilt, feeling a little helpless, wondering what the hell was going on
