The hero bends down

The person who came was dressed as an eunuch, Zhong Su looked at the eunuch's cotton boots.Although all the clothes in the palace were distributed uniformly, the eunuch's boots were clean and clean, and the hem of the boots was also very neat.There is still a fly whisk hanging under this person's waist, and the white silk on it moves with the wind.

Such a eunuch should have quite a status.

Zhong Su thought to himself, quickly put the broom aside, knelt down, and said: "My servant pays homage to Eunuch."

The previous night, Ruoqing and Lebi had told him the general rules in the palace, this time Zhong Su finally got his nickname right.

Seeing the maid lowering her head, Defu frowned suddenly when thinking of the emperor's password, stretched out his foot and kicked the maid's chest fiercely, and said viciously: "Damn you, you can't even clean a clean altar!"

This kick was very powerful and the angle was very ingenious. Defu just wanted to push the court lady to the ground and raise her head that had been lowered all the time.

Zhong Su only felt a pain in his heart, and his waist instantly softened, and he fell on his side.

Surprise flashed in his eyes, he looked at Defu in astonishment, and then quickly lowered his head.

Defu glanced at Feng Chuzhai's window with one eye.

"..."

The emperor, who had been watching from a distance, shook his head and continued to stare at the telescope.

Ji Munian gestured to Defu, motioning him to continue.

De Fuqing coughed, looked at the top of the maid's head, and continued: "The emperor said that this place should be swept clean, without any dirt."

While talking, he searched for impurities on the ground. After scanning for a week, a yellow leaf finally fell from the bodhi tree in perfect fit.

The fallen leaves swirled in the air and landed in front of Zhong Su and Defu.

"..." Zhong Su rubbed his heart and remained silent.

"Go and sweep it soon!"

Telford seized the opportunity and said immediately.

Zhong Su had no choice but to get up, and took the broom to sweep the fallen leaves into the dustpan.

He just swept this leaf away, and two more fell from the side.

"..."

Zhong Su continued to scan.

The bodhi tree is a sacred tree of Buddhism, as if it had eyes, and it dropped two leaves.

"..."

Telford took the opportunity to look at the person by the window again.

The emperor moved the telescope away, frowned and remained silent.

Ji Munian was still shaking his hands.

Defu adjusted his voice again, kicked Zhong Su's broom away, pointed to the bodhi tree and said, "This bodhi tree has the most yellow leaves, and the branches and leaves are broken. Go and repair it."

The place and angle he chose were naturally very harsh, and it was a place that Zhong Su had to stand on tiptoe to reach.

Zhong Su looked up at the place Defu pointed at. The leaves were indeed a little yellow, but it wasn't necessarily so ugly.

I'm afraid this father-in-law is looking for trouble.

With his mind in his mind, he had no choice but to walk over, stand on tiptoes and raise his head to take care of the branches and leaves, picking off the yellow leaves one by one.

※※※

Long Yi finally saw the face of this court lady.

He was so frightened that he quickly put down the binoculars, then frowned again, and put the binoculars in front of his eyes again.

He observed for a while, then put down the binoculars and looked at Ji Munian.

Seeing Long Yi's expression was a bit strange, Ji Munian couldn't help asking: "Your Majesty, is this woman Qi Concubine?"

Long Yi walked to the side of the throne and sat down, stretched his muscles and bones, and said, "Mu Nian, I remember that day you said that if this woman is not born lazy, she is very wise and stupid." Radian smiled inexplicably and said, "I guess it's the latter."

At this time, he no longer said that a woman is a concubine Qi, but bypassed the topic.

Ji Munian was slightly surprised, took the telescope handed by Long Yi and looked in Zhong Su's direction.

"..."

Weird is always weird.

I saw that the maid's face was washed clean, but her face was covered with powder, and her face was so red and white that she couldn't see her true face clearly.

If Ji Munian hadn't been prepared before, he would have thought that he was bumping into a ghost during the day.

And the emperor...

Judging from the look before, he must have been frightened.

Ji Munian took away the binoculars, presented it to the case, raised his eyes and asked, "Your Majesty, what should we do now?"

Long Yi flipped through the memorial absently, and listened to Ji Munian's words for a long time, Fang Xuxin frowned and said: "This woman, you still have to keep an eye on her."

"..."

No way... Ji Munian thought in his heart.

Long Yi's eyes flickered, and he looked at the memorial again and said, "Leave this matter to Yeying."

Ye Ying is one of the shadows beside Long Yi, and he is Long Yi's confidant, and is highly regarded by Long Yi.

Ji Munian breathed a sigh of relief, thought for a moment and said: "Could it be that the emperor still has something to explain to this humble minister?"

Long Yi nodded and said, "But something has happened."

He pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Mu Nian, I want you to help me keep an eye on Qu Ji."

He paused, then raised his eyes to look at Ji Munian: "Wei Changhe, the servant of the military department, is my confidant, and I also want you to practice more secretly with him."

Ji Munian paused in his heart.

"A good man should fight in all directions." Long Yi smiled, "Mu Nian, you have outstanding martial arts skills and talents. If you hone them a bit, you will become a general who can stand alone."

While laughing, he looked at the memorial quietly, and finally approved a few words, lowering his eyes and speaking slowly.

"Zhen, I actually don't want your talent to be buried in the deep palace."

He hesitated at the beginning, but the last few words became extremely firm.

Ji Munian looked at Long Yi, speechless.

※※※

Zhong Suhui dragged his painful and sore body back to the bunk, and before he could sit down, he coughed violently and spit out a mouthful of blood.

He subconsciously covered his heart.

This body is really bad.Not to mention that the woman's body made him uncomfortable, even the original owner of this body had taken chronic poison for a long time, ruining a set of bones in vain.

He had heard of Xiao Xi's "Acacia Seedling" before. Taking it for a short time can be used as a medicine, but if it is taken for a long time, it will cause blood loss and damage the spleen, which is extremely poisonous.

While thinking about how to take care of his body, Zhong Su thought about how to leave this forbidden palace.

※※※

On the first day, Zhong Su began to stand up and practice leg strength in the bedroom.At the beginning, his physical strength was really weak, and before it was time for a cup of tea, he was defeated. Then Zhong Su stood intermittently all night with perseverance, and was also teased by sisters Ruoqing and Lebi all night.

On the second day, Long Yi was writing memorials in the Imperial Study Room, tired, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure outside the window and called Nighthawk.

Nighthawk was dressed in black, kneeling in the room, but it seemed like air, without any sense of existence.

"Yesterday, how was the maid?"

Yeying replied: "Back to the emperor, this person was standing in the room last night."

"Oh?" Long Yi wondered.

Women seldom stand in this posture. Firstly, ordinary women rarely practice martial arts;

"How are you standing?" Long Yi asked.

"Standing with your legs shoulder-width apart, with your waist down and your chest up, is the standard posture for martial arts." Yeying replied.

Long Yi chuckled and said: "This posture, if Concubine Qi does it, it is really insulting."

※※※

On the fourth day, Zhong Su stood a little more steadily on horseback, and began to exercise his leg strength while improving his arm strength.

He stood upright on the bed, slowly pushed and bent his elbows, before he could complete a push-up, his hands went limp, and he fell onto the bed.

The strange feeling in his chest made his whole face turn red.

Ruoqing smiled at the side: "Sister, this is not good, it will crush the shape."

Le Bi nodded and said: "Yes, if it hangs down, it won't look good."

Zhong Su: "..."

On the fifth day, Long Yi left the morning court and stepped into Feng Chuzhai, where he saw a figure in the distance.

He smiled at the figure at the window, and said, "From my visual inspection, this woman's bust is smaller than before."

Ye Ying said: "Your majesty is wise, yesterday this person approved a white horse to the internal affairs of the Shouyi Palace."

Long Yi chuckled and said, "It turned out that his chest was covered, no wonder it was so."

※※※

On the sixth day, Long Yi received the memorial about Li Hou, and in a rage, swept the memorial, Defu obediently picked up the memorial next to him.Long Yi rolled up the curtain, and after sweeping through the garden, he frowned and asked, "Where is that maid?"

"Go back to the emperor, that maid is resting today."

Long Yi frowned and said, "Call Nighthawk over."

Defu took the order and went, but after a while, Nighthawk worshiped in the room.

"How about that man?" Long Yi asked.

Yeying replied: "Return to the emperor, since yesterday, I have been walking around the palace."

Long Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "Which direction?"

Yeying said: "This person walked along the Shouyi Palace all the way to Mingyuexuan, and when he saw the wall of the Forbidden Palace, he turned back."

Long Yi sneered and said: "I also said that she has some temper, it seems that she can't stand it anymore."

※※※

On the eighth day, Ji Munian passed the pigeon into the Forbidden Palace, and Defu took the pigeon and took the letterhead to present to Long Yi.

Long Yi read the letter on the letter about Qu Yu's win over Qi Tianming, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, and Chen Wu, the guard general of the city guard, and fell silent.

Before nightfall, the eunuch presented the signboard, Long Yi saw the names of concubines in various palaces written on the signboard, rubbed his brows and remained silent.

The face covered by makeup suddenly flashed in my mind.

that woman.

Praying concubine.

Long Yi sighed and lifted one of the signs.

When the eunuch saw the name that was turned over, he quietly withdrew and ordered his servants to inform Linsheng Palace.

In the middle of the night, wearing a dark black robe, Long Yi entered the Linsheng Palace.

"Chen and concubine meet the emperor."

Concubine Xuan was full and knelt down.

Long Yi helped Concubine Xuan up, and said softly: "My concubine is weak, how can I pick you up here again, don't hurt your body."

Concubine Xuan groaned coquettishly, fell sideways in Long Yi's arms, and said with a sweet smile: "The emperor is here in person, and the beauty of the day is beautiful. I can't wait for a moment."

Long Yi smiled and kissed the cinnabar on the forehead of Concubine Xuan.

The beauty is in the arms, and the country is by the side.

※※※

No. On the 16th, Long Yi came out of Linsheng Palace on a chariot, and when he arrived at the court hall, he saw Qu Yu's face glowing red, smiling at the officials.

The emperor smiled silently, finished the court affairs in a hurry, and then entered Fengchuzhai, followed by Nighthawk.

"Recently, how is she?" Long Yi asked suddenly.

"Returning to the emperor, apart from being on duty every day, this person squats, stands on horseback, and does push-ups when he returns to his room. Occasionally, he will go out to watch on the outer wall of Mingyuexuan." Nighthawk replied.

"This rule has never changed." Long Yi rubbed his fingertips, then picked up the telescope and looked out.

The maid's face is scary at first glance, but if you look at it day by day like this, you don't see much horror.

Long Yi watched for a while, suddenly frowned and thought about it carefully, then asked: "What's her name?"

Although this person looks like a concubine Qi, he is not like a concubine Qi.

"Back to the emperor, this person's name is Li Xiu'er."

"Xiu'er." Long Yi said happily, "I don't know her real name. However, Xiu'er's name is pleasant to my ears."

Then he asked again: "Nighthawk, can you see this person's face?"

"This person is extremely vigilant. When washing his face and changing makeup, he always lowers his head and turns his back to the minister." He paused, and said, "It's really hard to observe the minister."

Long Yi nodded and said: "It's okay, no matter how cunning a fox is, she will always show her feet. I want to see how long she will pretend."

※※※

On the 20th, Yeying went to the gate of Fengchuzhai and waited.

Long Yi commented on the memorial, lowered his head and asked, "What does Nighthawk want to play?"

Ye Ying knelt down and said, "Report to the emperor, the person whom the emperor asked me to observe last night came behind the outer wall of Mingyue Xuan, and this morning he took a thick rope from the internal affairs of the Shouyi Palace."

Long Yi paused the hand holding the pen, raised his head and said, "Oh? Is she going to climb out of the wall of the Forbidden Palace?"

"That's what Wei Chen thinks."

Long Yi laughed dumbly and said: "The walls of the Forbidden Palace are more than two feet long, how can she be a weak woman." While he was speaking, his eyes couldn't help but look out of the window.

Perhaps that person was resting today, and the person planning in the garden was replaced by another court lady.

He pondered: "Nighthawk, did she come into contact with other strangers during your observation?"

The state of Chu must have meticulous work in the forbidden palace. I don't know if the prince will send someone to contact this person.

"No." Nighthawk said, "This person doesn't seem to like to talk."

Long Yi was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "So, I'm more interested." He told Yeying: "Send some more patience to keep an eye on this woman."

He thought for a while, and then said: "If that palace lady makes any moves, she will come and report."

※※※

No.20 One night, Zhong Su walked out of the dormitory silently, carrying a cloth bag, and went to the place that was detected earlier.

That place is the blind spot of the guards, and the patrolling guards will only visit once every quarter of an hour, which is conducive to their own actions.

If everything goes well, he can leave this forbidden palace and go to the outside world.

He walked quickly and disappeared into the dark night.

Ye Ying stared at Zhong Su's figure, and silently gestured towards his dark guard.

The dark guard performed lightness kung fu, and walked to the Hall of Mental Cultivation with great speed.

Long Yi was very interested when he saw the hidden guards worshiping in front of the hall.

"Putting out Mingyuexuan." He raised his voice, and then called Defu again, "Don't make a big deal about this, I remember that Mingyuexuan has a gazebo near the palace wall."

Defu followed Long Yi for many years, so he knew it, and ordered people to carry the chariot to the pavilion.

※※※

Zhong Su walked to the outside of Mingyuexuan Palace. He was very fast and could move freely in the dark night.

Suddenly, Zhong Su's footsteps paused.

The nighthawks in the distance stared at the target all the time.

The target's footsteps were strong at first, but now they suddenly became unsteady. After walking for a while, the target began to hold on to the nearby brick wall and walked slowly.

Zhong Su's face was pale, and he didn't know why, but he felt pain and pain in his waist, and it became more and more intense as he walked.

He had no choice but to slow down and walk slowly for a while, the pain still persisted.

A nauseating feeling came to my heart.

Zhong Su only felt something slowly flow out of his lower body.

He clenched his fists and walked for a while, but couldn't hold on any longer, and walked to a nearby toilet room.

Nighthawk waited quietly outside the toilet.

After a cup of tea, Zhong Su dawdled out from inside.

He hesitated for a long time at the fork outside the toilet room, and finally turned back in the original direction.

This is an emergency.

Do not fight uncertain battles.

Zhong Su comforted himself in his heart.

"..."

The nighthawks in the distance were silent.

Then he continued to follow Zhong Su.

Zhong Su returned to the bedroom with a pale face, seeing that Ruoqing and Le Bi in the room had already fallen asleep, so he had no choice but to go to Le Bi's side and shake him awake.

Le Bi opened her eyes in a daze, saw Zhong Su, and was taken aback by the look on Zhong Su's face.

"Sister, you want to scare me to death." Lebi muttered.

Zhong Su lowered his head and said slowly: "Miss Lebi, I'm sorry, but actually, I'm... I have something to ask."

"What's the matter?" Lebi stretched out a hand and rubbed her eyes.

This little sister Xiu'er usually doesn't talk much, but at this time she speaks coyly.

"Miss Lebi, I want to ask..." Zhong Su choked up.

"If you're a girl, how would you deal with menstruation?"

"..."

Le Bi's sleepiness was half awake, and she asked in surprise, "Sister Xiu'er, are you having your period?"

Her voice was a bit loud, even the nighthawk squatting on the house could hear it.

"..."

Nighthawk was silent.

Then he pondered for a while, finally got up, and quickly walked towards the direction where the emperor was waiting in the gazebo.

Zhong Su's face turned paler when Le Bi's voice yelled at him, and he was on the verge of falling, but he had no choice but to nod.

※※※

Zhong Sujing had her first menstruation last night and felt very uncomfortable, so she had to stay in the room.

Le Bi is on duty today, and Ruo Qing is not in the dormitory when he changes shifts for him.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise outside the bedroom.Zhong Su frowned, pressed his lower abdomen, and was about to go out to check on what happened, when two court ladies rushed into the room, and when they saw him, they raised him up.

After he turned into a female body, everything fell on his back.

Zhong Su struggled a bit, thinking that he didn't know what was going on yet, and he didn't dare to use too much force, so he had to let them push him out.

He was carried outside the courtyard by the maid, and there stood a beautiful woman in scarlet clothes outside the courtyard, with a beautiful appearance and outstanding figure.There were four or five court ladies and eunuchs behind her, and when she saw Zhong Su being dragged out, she snorted coldly.

"Is this the ugly monster?"

"Exactly." An eunuch next to him said flatteringly, "Ms. Xiuyi, this is the person who has been sneaking around outside Ming Yue Xuan for the past few days. Most of the red corals in Ming Yue Xuan were stolen by this person."

Zhong Su frowned.

Why can this matter have something to do with him?

"Oh? You're quite courageous." After hearing this, Han Xiuyi looked at the woman in front of him, and suddenly smiled, "Go in and search."

Several court ladies responded, walked into the room and began to search.

Han Xiuyi heard the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside, pinched Zhong Su's chin, and said, "This face is really hideous, and I don't know what it looks like inside."

The eunuch behind him immediately understood, called a bucket of well water, and splashed it on Zhong Su.

Zhong Su's whole body was soaked immediately, knowing something was wrong, he hurriedly said, "Miss Xiuyi, I didn't steal..." Before he finished speaking, another bucket of water was poured on it.

"..."

The following words were swallowed in his mouth, and Zhong Su knew that he would not be able to escape again today.

Han Xiuyi looked at the face of the palace lady in front of her who was slowly fading her makeup, which turned out to be somewhat beautiful, and a trace of jealousy suddenly flashed.

She entered the palace two years ago, and was very favored. She has always been domineering in the palace, and even concubine De and Xianfei are not looked down upon.

De Chong, who manages the imperial study, is her confidant. A few days ago, De Chong told her that the emperor cared a lot about a court lady from Qing Dynasty. The stalk came to Shouyi Palace to find trouble.

It's just that I didn't expect that this court lady actually had such a face.

Jealousy welled up frantically.

※※※

When Ji Munian returned to the palace, he saw the black and blue shadows under Long Yi's eyes, and wondered, "Did the Emperor not wake up yesterday?"

"..."

Long Yi was lying on Feng Chuzhai's bed covered with memorials, yawning again and again, and snorted coldly when he heard Ji Munian's question.

He would never admit that the dignified son of heaven was kept awake all night by a woman's menstruation.

The emperor grimly corrected a memorial, and then became angry again.

Memorials, memorials, all memorials, memorials all day long.

Standing queens, standing queens, all standing queens, and I propose to be queens all day long!

Long Yi's eyebrows frowned deeper and deeper, and he simply "snapped" to throw away the things in his hands, and leaned on the pillow to close his eyes.

In the dimness, the strange face of the woman flashed in front of her eyes.

He opened his eyes again and looked at Ji Munian.

Ji Munian was arranging the memorial on the ground.

"Mu Nian." Long Yi called out.

"The minister is here."

"I suddenly had an idea."

Ji Munian raised his head and looked at the emperor.

The emperor looked out the window, curled the corners of his mouth and said, "I suddenly thought, take that maid as my concubine."

"..."

"Four grades, talented people, how about it?"

"The emperor likes it."

"Then I will order someone to pass the word." The emperor got up and called Telford.

"The slave is here." Telford knelt down and bowed.

"Where is that maid named Xiu'er now?" Long Yi asked.

The emperor would ask this question every time recently, Defu replied: "Go back to the emperor, Xiu'er is staying in the ladies' bedroom of the Shouyi Palace."

Long Yi frowned and said, "Is she resting again today?"

Defu replied with some embarrassment: "Your Majesty, people from the Shouyi Palace have passed on a message that that Xiu'er..."

He didn't dare to continue what he said.

"What happened to that Xiu'er?" Long Yi asked impatiently.

Seeing that the emperor asked anxiously, Defu had no choice but to answer.

"That Xiu'er said she had dysmenorrhea and couldn't come."

"..."

Long Yi felt that he shouldn't ask.

He waved his hand and said: "Forget it, don't draft the oral order."

Ji Munian looked at Long Yi in surprise.

Long Yi curled his lips slightly, and said, "I'll go there myself."

He rode in the chariot in a good mood, looked at the maid's residence, and told Defu to keep silent.

As the emperor's chariot was approaching the maid's residence, he heard a crisp slap in the distance.

"Tell me, did you steal the red coral?" Han Xiuyi's voice came from inside.

Long Yi's heart sank slightly, he ordered people to stop the chariot, and walked over by himself.

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he saw a man wearing a palace uniform, kneeling in the courtyard, supported by two maids, his face was red and swollen, but even so, his waist was still straight.

"Go back to your mother, I did not steal that coral."

Zhong Su had already been slapped more than twenty times. No matter how good-tempered Zhong Su was, he was accused of unwarranted crimes, and he was subjected to such torment. His voice has changed from being condescending at the beginning to being crisp and clear now.

He looked directly at Han Xiuyi, even though he looked embarrassed, he couldn't hide the firmness in his eyes.

And when Zhong Su raised his eyes to look at Han Xiuyi, he also saw behind the empress a handsome man in black robes dyed in gold, looking at him steadily.

After the two eyes met, there was another crisp slap on the face.

Zhong Su's face was slapped aside, then he grinned at the corners of his lips and bowed his head in silence.

That person is probably the emperor.

he thought to himself.
