After the rebirth, Aijia and Bamboo Horseshoe printed him

There was a slight knocking sound on the outer wall of the Buddhist hall. Zhou Shuhe took a deep breath, removed the tribute under the Buddha statue, stretched out his hand, and pressed the mechanism inside along the gap.

The altar and the wall swung inward together, revealing a secret door leading to the outer courtyard.

A strange man was dressed as an eunuch, his eyes were covered with a three-layered black cloth, and his mouth was blocked by a cloth towel. In the hazy night, he could only be seen as a young man.

This is Chu Shenzhi.

And Qi Yu was standing behind him, leading him into the Buddhist hall.

Although the man's ear holes had been plugged with two balls of cotton, it was not safe to plug the ears. Just in case, Qi Yu didn't talk to Zhou Shuhe, nodded slightly, turned around and went to guard nearby.

"Wait a minute!" These four words blurted out.

Qi Yu stopped after hearing the words.

The night sky was so dark that the dark clouds could not be seen clearly, but the traces of the stars were covered up, leaving only a crescent moon struggling to reveal its brilliance.

The cold moon is like frost, making people even more bleak.

Zhou Shuhe looked at his back in a daze, wondering what exactly he wanted him to wait for.

She was drafted into the palace to protect her parents and relatives, and stepped into this Buddhist hall to protect her own life.The antecedents, consequences, means, desires, she had already thought clearly about each and every one of them, but now she told him to wait.

What are you waiting for?How long to wait?Why wait.

Zhou Shuhe's throat was choked, and he felt that he had nothing to say.

But Qi Yu really waited.

He sighed and turned around, looking at her, his voice was soft as if he was afraid of disturbing the moonlight: "Don't worry, I'm nearby, I won't go far."

Hearing this, Zhou Shuhe hurried forward and stopped at the last half step of stepping out of the house, with his toes under the threshold.

"Really?"

"Hmm." He pointed to the white elm on the side of the cornice, with a gentle smile on his face, "I'll guard you under this tree later, go ahead, don't think too much."

Zhou Shuhe stared at his toes and let out a muffled "Oh".

Seeing her like this, Qi Yu also became a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he thought about it and said, "If you are not ready, let's wait another day. It doesn't hurt to wait any longer."

"No," Zhou Shuhe shook his head, "If that person stays in the palace for one more day, I will not feel at ease for a day. I am always worried that someone will find out and I will be killed."

She smiled hastily, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I know what I should do, but I'm still a little scared."

There was a faint humming of cicadas in the dark in the distance. Qi Yu thought for a while, walked up to her, and took out something wrapped in oil paper from his arms.

"It contains a courage fruit. If a little rabbit eats it, it will dare to choke with the tiger in the mountain. Do you want to try it?"

He spoke in earnest, as if there was something supernatural in this world, Zhou Shuhe glanced suspiciously, took the letter dubiously, opened it, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey! Isn't this the Tang fruit I sent you to eat?"

"No, it's the fruit of courage." Qi Yu said seriously.

As he spoke, he took off his coat and spread it on the floor, leading her to sit down by the wall, and said solemnly: "Trust me, it's very useful."

Zhou Shuhe curled his lips, murmured a "childish" curse, but still took out the fruit as he said, and began to bite into small mouthfuls.

This was originally a dessert for Qi Yu, but she wasted a lot of effort when making it. The white bean paste was ground finely and softly, and it became a watery red after adding red plum juice, kneaded into a ball from the outside to the inside, After twisting and carving, it becomes a cold plum with a light pink in the red.

This Samuume is sweet.

Desserts, candied fruit, and sweets can always make people feel at ease. After Zhou Shuhe ate Tang Guozi, his mood gradually became as calm as the night, as if this little dot was really full of courage, and easily drove away those wandering and hesitant people. and flustered.

In fact, after deciding what to do today, she has been worried all the time.

First, he was worried that Qi Yu would send others to bring Chu Shenzhi, such as Tan Xiang or other cronies.Although this is also human nature, she understands that Qi Yu may not want to meet her at this time, but this matter is too dangerous, and if it is exposed, the consequences will be disastrous. If it is not necessary, she does not want the fourth person to know.

After all, life is at stake, and it doesn't hurt to be emotionally cruel.

However, when night fell, Zhou Shuhe walked into the Buddhist hall, questioned his heart in the darkness, and suddenly couldn't help resisting the reason and correctness.

The night ate away at the outer shell of the human spirit, and she was able to hear her inner voice.

The voice told Zhou Shuhe that she didn't want Qi Yu to come outside this Buddhist hall, and she didn't want to see his painful eyes again, just like that night in the Tai Chi Hall, he was clearly smiling at her, but the pain made her want to cry .

She didn't want to see him look like that again.

In other words, she didn't dare, she was afraid, she was afraid that the unspeakable sadness again and again would make him unbearable, so that he suddenly woke up, and finally realized that he should not guard her stupidly anymore.

But he didn't.

The evening breeze brushed gently over the shoulders, looking up, the stars and the moon were hidden in the shadow of the swaying black trees.

And he has been, has been guarding there, like a stubborn stone that has never moved since the birth of heaven and earth.

When the stone stands there, she will be at peace.

Ever since he was brought into the palace, Chu Shenzhi has been dreaming like a sleepwalker, his mind is full of "filth | chaos in the harem is a crime that cannot be punished", and the eight big characters are dangling in front of his eyes without stopping for a moment.

"Will I die if I participate in this kind of thing?" He trembled.

Qi Yu reassured him responsibly while looking at the documents presented by his subordinates: "Don't mind, you were going to die."

"..."

Chu Shenzhi was dumb: "That's true."

It is impossible for a person to die twice. After thinking about this, he suddenly felt a lot lighter, and he also felt free to talk about it.

"Speaking of which, there are many such things in the palace? Or is it actually rare, and I just bumped into it? That lady...Of course I won't ask for the name of a noble person, I understand that. But I am also a big The first time a girl gets on the sedan chair, even if she dies, she must die to understand, at least she must know what kind of person she is."

"After all, it's lonely in the deep palace. There are so many noble ladies but there is only one Your Majesty. People like me are needed to guard the empty boudoir alone every night..."

He spoke more and more vigorously, his eyes were bright, and he was a little embarrassed, and he talked for a long time to himself with a slightly red face.

A sudden chill came, and he felt the hairs on his arms stand on end, and looked around suspiciously.

"Why does it seem a bit cold..." Chu Shenzhi muttered to himself.

Qi Yu, who was originally sitting at the desk approving papers, glanced at him.

The spring day was in full bloom, and the sun was shining on the table through the window edge. The man in front of the case still had a smile on his lips, but his eyes were colder than when he was tortured in prison.

Chu Shenzhi couldn't help shivering, and suddenly fell silent.

"Why is it cold?" Qi Yu said with a smile.

"No, I don't know, it's just a feeling..."

"That's it, come!" Qi Yu suddenly raised his voice, and a little eunuch who was specially serving him quickly bowed in, "Our distinguished guest is a bit cold, so bring a charcoal basin, remember not to choose too large a charcoal basin, so you can fit in Eloquence will do."

What do you mean, why do you want to enter?

Chu Shenzhi was full of doubts, and looked at him in confusion, while Qi Yu smiled and nodded, looking a little regretful.

"Originally, I wanted to keep your skin and flesh intact. After all, the lady is already uneasy. If you see your facial features damaged again, it would be a serious crime to scare her."

"However, your words are really unpleasant, and your words are disgusting. When I think about it, I am narrow-minded. Anyway, I have to cover your eyes and stop your mouth. Even so, the eyes and throat are a little damaged, but it's no big deal. yes, isn't it?"

Viscous malice like black mud crawled onto the skin, and Chu Shenzhi couldn't help backing up again and again, accidentally tripped over a table and chair, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

He still didn't understand what he just said meant to the person in front of him.

Disrespect, disrespect, and the half-frivolousness in the words are really annoying.

In fact, Qi Yu did not deny his malice towards Chu Shenzhi, but he was used to stripping away his emotions, so whether it was disgust or jealousy, he could restrain them.

If Chu Shenzhi can act as cautiously as his own name, keep these words in his heart, and realize how much Qi Yu cherishes that nobleman from time to time, and be more cautious in his words and deeds, maybe he can be more cautious in his words and actions in the last days. Eat good meat and drink good wine, and be a happy ghost.

However, it was too late.

His throat was hot, and his eyes were dark. He rolled on the ground in pain, but he couldn't even utter a scream, and two lines of blood and tears slowly left on his sunken eyelids.

Qi Yu threw the eyeballs in his hands aside casually, and comforted him softly.

"Don't make such an expression, in fact, you are not at a loss, right? My parents and sisters are all in my village in the suburbs of Beijing. As long as you are obedient, they can live a happy life. When you help give birth to a prince, future generations will be honorable. No matter how many people ask for it, they can’t come.”

He walked over and gently brushed the dust off his shoulders.

"Take good care of your wife. Although you will die, you don't want your relatives and friends to die on the streets in vain."
