Get the resurrection scroll, and eat melons and meat after entering the book
Chapter 20: His Highness Regent
Helian Han usually didn't like snacks, but at this moment, for some reason, he felt that it would be okay to eat some under such gaze, so he picked up a piece and took a bite.
Wu Qing was very happy to see that the man accepted the snacks and had no intention of leaving. After thinking about it, she understood: That's right, the secret guard can't hide while eating, he should finish eating before leaving.
Pointing to the stone steps on the side, he said, "Sit here and eat."
Helian Han watched the little palace maid sit down and was surprised. It felt like squatting outside the camp and sharing food with his comrades.
Helian Han sat down and ate a piece of dessert before asking, "Why are you watering the flowers like that?" His voice was cold.
Wu Qing didn't understand. When she was a child, her grandmother watered the small vegetable garden in front of her house like this. "Well... that's how the elderly at home watered the land." She raised her injured right hand again and said, "My right hand is injured, and my left hand can't use enough strength to water the flowers. So I thought of this. What's wrong with that?"
Helian Han was sure that the little palace maid didn't know her identity, so he didn't reveal it. He said, "I have land at home, and I want to learn."
"Where is your hometown? It's okay to water like this as long as there is water. If there is water shortage in the local area, this won't work." When there is water shortage, grandma would like not to waste a drop of water and pour it on the roots of the seedlings one spoonful at a time, but she would not water it like this.
Helian Han nodded, "That's true." It's just that there's no shortage of water in the area he governs. Even with the river bursting its banks, it can't be diverted to irrigate the fields, which is a shame. "There's a river back home, and even though it's swollen, it can't be used to irrigate the fields," he shook his head and sighed.
"Why don't you build water conservancy facilities and store the water for use?" Wu Qing, who was born in the sunshine and grew up in the spring breeze, had no idea how difficult this was in ancient times. He took everything for granted and regretted it after he said it.
Helian Han didn't think there was anything wrong with what the palace maid said. He actually had this plan, so he made an excuse, "The county magistrate was just saying that he wanted to build a dam." In fact, he was thinking about it himself.
Being able to build a dam, Wu Qing thought that the productivity here was not so backward as to be unimaginable.
Oh, by the way, before I traveled through the book, I read in the news that a settlement dating back three or four thousand years was discovered, and the ruins included a dam.
The two of them sat on the small platform outside the West Wind Pavilion, eating snacks and chatting, thinking that no one noticed.
In the shadows of the distant corner stood a petite figure. If her gaze could have been condensed into substance, she would have shot Wu Qing like a sieve.
Qinghe was filled with hatred. This little bitch was indeed restless.
How dare you give His Majesty the Ninth Prince the snacks I made myself! You shall die a miserable death!
After Helian Han ate the second piece of dessert, he was sure that this was the dessert unique to his third brother's palace.
He brushed off the crumbs in his hand and said, "So you made this snack in Deshengdian. What a great craftsman!"
Wu Qing didn't expect the man to misunderstand her, so she said frankly, "I didn't make it. I just saw that it was left there and no one was eating it, so I gave it to the guard brother."
Big Brother Guard?! Helian Han's mouth twitched, "This is specially for the Emperor, how dare you?"
"Hush..." Wu Qing looked around and saw that no one was around, then said, "The Emperor is in a hurry to do something. It would be a waste to leave this alone."
"Really?" Helian Han hadn't seen his third brother just now. According to the little palace maid's confident statement, his third brother was probably not in the palace.
"Seriously!" Wu Qing nodded seriously. The more she looked at the man, the more familiar he seemed. Who was he in the book?
Helian Han had a vague feeling that something was wrong as soon as he entered the palace, but for him, entering the palace was like going home, so he felt relaxed and didn't think much about it. Now he knew what was wrong.
He held his breath and felt carefully. Sure enough, there was not a single secret guard nearby. Where had all the people gone?
There are no secret guards around Desheng Hall, so this matter is probably not simple.
Sensing the seriousness of the situation, he pretended to ask casually, "Is Eunuch Su here?"
"Eunuch Su has had a coughing fit, so Eunuch Yu has been in charge lately." Wu Qing was still looking at her idol. This man...
"Oh..." Helian Han stood up and walked towards Desheng Hall.
"Brother Guard, do you want to see Eunuch Yu? When I got some snacks, I saw him busy in the East Warm Room!" He then took out Eunuch Yu and tried to sell him off.
Helian Han felt a strange feeling in his heart. The emperor was not here, so what was Yu Feng busy with in the East Warm Pavilion?
**
Besides, Yu Feng had to hide the fact that the Emperor was not in the palace from the Empress Dowager, and at the same time he had to find a way to inform the Ninth Prince, but he couldn't fake the imperial decree to ask the Ninth Prince to come back.
I thought I could send a letter to His Majesty the Ninth Prince through the Ministry of Works.
Yu Feng asked someone to summon the people from the Ministry of Works to the palace and hurriedly wrote a letter to the Ninth Prince.
What should we say if we can't fake the imperial edict? Then say it's an important thing that the emperor gave to His Highness the Ninth Prince.
Yu Feng was so busy that his brain was working so hard that the soles of his boots were almost sparking.
Yu Feng had just finished writing a letter, sealed it with wax, and was about to send it out. The two men were in a hurry, one going in and the other leaving, and they bumped into each other.
Helian Han frowned, "Why are you so flustered?"
When Yu Feng saw that it was Helian Han, he almost burst into tears, "My Lord, Ninth Prince, I came to find you! I lied to the people in the Ministry of Works and told them that the Emperor wanted to send you a document. In fact, it was a letter written by me, asking for help from Your Highness the Ninth Prince!"
"Why did you return, Ninth Prince? Perhaps the Buddha heard my pleas and sent you to save us from suffering!"
Helian Han opened the letter in his hand and read it after hearing what Yu Feng said. "Alright, get up! Go stand aside and come back in to answer me after you've finished crying."
Although Helian Han still didn't know why his brother left the palace, the most important thing now was to keep this matter secret.
He felt that Yu Feng was too noisy, which was why he asked people to finish crying outside the door so as not to disturb him from thinking. He needed to calm down and come up with a solution.
With tears in his eyes, Yu Feng sent someone to ask his master to come and give him an answer. After all, he couldn't explain why the emperor left the palace.
Soon Su He rushed over, glared at Yu Feng, lifted the curtain and entered the east warm room.
He coughed and reluctantly told the emperor about the conflict between him and Gu Shixin in the past few days, and how the emperor had drunk alcohol and kidnapped Gu Shixin.
Helian Han was brought into the military camp by Gu Shixin, and he usually called Gu Shixin "Master".
Others didn't know about the story between his third brother and the master, but he knew it when he was twelve years old. Su He also knew that he knew it, so he told the whole story from beginning to end without hiding anything.
Helian Han shook his head when he heard this. Although he had not been back to the palace often recently, he could feel that something was not right between the two of them. It turned out that there was a rift between them.
He still didn't quite understand the meaning of the word "qing" and didn't know how to persuade the two of them. He sighed and asked, "Did the secret guards follow them?"
"Cough... cough," Su He nodded, trying hard to suppress his cough, "Yes, I followed them."
"What's going on at the general's palace? Why hasn't my royal brother come back yet?" Helian Han frowned even more tightly.
"Ahem... I sent someone to inquire. General Wang resigned and left the capital. Ahem... he didn't say where he was going. Your Majesty..." Su He glanced at the Ninth Prince and lowered his voice, "I'm afraid he went after her. Ahem..."
Helian Han let out a long sigh and nodded. It was indeed something that his third brother could do.
Seeing Su He was about to speak again, Helian Han waved his hand and said, "Yu Feng, come in!"
Yu Feng hurried in after hearing the call. Helian Han pointed at the teapot on the low table and said, "Pour your master a cup of tea."
Yu Feng poured tea and brought it to Eunuch Su. Eunuch Su slowed down his breathing, drank two sips of tea slowly, and suppressed his cough.
Helian Han walked to the imperial desk and said, "Bring all the recent memorials here. Pick out the urgent ones and I will approve them. Keep the less urgent ones!"
Yu Feng knew that His Highness the Ninth Prince was going to help the Emperor govern the country, so he quickly reminded him, "Then at the next court meeting..."
Helian Han was also thinking that his third brother might not be able to come back for a few days. He glanced at Yu Feng and said, "Go and call Qi Xun over."
Qi Xun is the emperor's seal-bearing eunuch and one of the four great eunuchs in the palace. He is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he is extremely rigid in his work.
Helian Han took out a black gold plate and threw it in front of Qi Xun, "Do you recognize this?"
Qi Xun knelt on the ground, picked up the black gold sign, and held it in his hand, "I recognize it."
"Leave it to you. Bring me the things you are in charge of." Helian Han naturally knew what kind of person Qi Xun was. If he wanted to take the things he was in charge of, he would naturally have to exchange them for something.
This is the seal that the emperor uses on a daily basis and represents the emperor.
"This..." Generally speaking, when something like this happens, the emperor would notify the eunuch in charge of the seal in advance, specifically noting who could temporarily access the imperial seal. Without any instructions or verbal instructions from the emperor, Qi Xun was still considering it.
"I can't hide this from you. The fact that you can become the eunuch in charge of the seal shows that the emperor trusts you very much. The emperor is not in the palace now. I need to issue an imperial edict first so that I can legitimately act as regent on behalf of the emperor until - the emperor returns to the court." Helian Han's voice was still as cold and hard, but the last four words were full of depth.
For the first time in her life, Wu Qing, who was standing outside the door, witnessed the chain reaction caused by the emperor secretly running out of the palace.
I sighed in my heart: Love brain is so scary!
On second thought, this didn't seem quite right. Originally, Helian Hao didn't know Gu Shixin had left the capital. He was a well-behaved emperor who was managing the government well in the palace. He hadn't had a love affair with her. It was only when I told him I'd never see him again that he got anxious. In other words, I was at least 80% responsible for the current situation.
80%?! Stop, I'm small and can't afford it, less...
Forget it, I can’t bear such a heavy responsibility. I’m just a melon-eating civet.
Wu Qing slipped away quietly.
But Wu Qing didn't know that every sound of her footsteps and breathing from the moment she arrived to the moment she left had been heard by Helian Han.
Helian Han frowned. This palace maid...
Qi Xun held the Ninth Prince's badge in his hand for a while before he said, "I'll get it right away." He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
What was taken was not only the imperial seal, but also the three small seals used by the emperor in his daily life, in addition to the imperial seal used by the emperor to issue official decrees.
Qi Xun was not hesitating when he was holding the black gold token of the Ninth Prince, but was trying to figure out the key.
There is a secret on that sign that only the emperor and the eunuch in charge of the seal know, and it can only be felt by touch.
If the eunuch in charge of the seal doesn't find the key, he will never hand over the seal even if he dies.
Because if he doesn't hand it over, only he will die, but if he does, his entire family will be executed, and all nine generations of his clan will be implicated.
Qi Xun touched it, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
As soon as Qi Xun left, Helian Han said, "Fang Si."
A black shadow appeared from nowhere, knelt on one knee, said nothing, and just waited for Helian Han's orders.
Helian Han said sternly, "Keep an eye on the palace maid who eavesdropped just now, but don't touch her. If there's anything unusual, arrest her first."
The black shadow on the ground clasped its fists and disappeared again.
Helian Han's secret guard Fang Si understood that the Ninth Prince must keep this palace maid alive.
Qi Xun came to Desheng Hall holding the jade seal.
Helian Han had already written the imperial edict in the emperor's handwriting and was waiting for it to be stamped.
"Yu Feng, there's no need to announce that Third Brother has caught a cold. Come to me tomorrow morning and tell me."
"Yes." Yu Feng bowed.
This was also the first time Helian Han attended the court on behalf of his third brother. Thinking about what else he needed to do, he said, "Move a chair next to the throne in advance."
Except for the emperor, no one else could sit on the dragon throne. Even standing nearby and breathing heavily would be wrong. Looking at it for even a few more seconds would be considered as having improper intentions.
If you don't have that intention, you'd better not get yourself into trouble.
Helian Han was very calm and clear-headed. He had no intention of taking the throne at all, so he had to make it clear.
Yu Feng immediately understood what His Majesty the Ninth Prince meant and replied, "Yes!"
Helian Han had not yet established his residence and was living in the palace. On the morning of the 15th of July,
Yu Feng called the Ninth Prince to the morning court.
Last year, the Emperor personally appointed the Ninth Prince as Prime Minister. Now that he has the Emperor's decree, there should be no problem for him to take charge of government affairs.
But everyone had a lot of questions in their minds. What happened to the emperor?
In the court, Helian Han claimed that the emperor had caught a cold, but the noble families were all skeptical about the truth of this.
There are many aristocratic families that have remained in existence for hundreds of years despite the change of dynasties.
It’s not that they are reclusive, but that they are more perceptive than those in power.
As soon as the court was dismissed, the tentacles of various families began to move to gather information.
There was an imperial decree that a sign be delivered to the palace, instructing him to go in and pay his respects to the Empress Dowager.
A servant outside the palace gate passed a message to the imperial physician, saying that there was something going on at home and asked the master to go home.
What's more, there was a sign for an urgent memorial, but along with it was a letter. The letter was quickly handed to Helian Han.
Without even opening it, upon seeing the handwriting, Helian Han, who was reading the memorial, slammed the imperial desk in the East Warm Pavilion and said, "Fool!"
*-*-*-*-*-*
Although the handsome guy was right in front of Wu Qing's eyes as soon as she closed her eyes, making her feel excited, she had a really good sleep once she fell asleep and didn't even have a dream.
The next morning, when Wu Qing woke up, she felt like something was missing. After thinking for a while, she remembered that she hadn't eaten melon for several days.
Thinking about it, I couldn't help but laugh out loud. If those two ancestors didn't fight, I would be a bit bored.
She has discovered and confirmed that unless Helian Hao and Gu Shixin have a conflict, the read-only mode of her Shuiyue Mirror cannot be activated.
She would only hear about and enter the scene if the two of them had a conflict, whether it was an argument or a fight. But this time, both of them had fled Beijing, so could she still watch and eat melons? She was not sure, and she was itching to know what was going on between the two of them.
The direction of the story has been completely changed due to my involvement, and now I feel like I'm catching up on an unfinished story.
I really want to click the orange button to urge for more updates.
Being unable to do anything makes one feel anxious and worried, alas!
