In fact, Yun Qi is very homely. He won't feel uncomfortable in one place for ten days and half a month. In his previous life, he didn't go out once every three to five years, but the feeling of not wanting to go out and being unable to go out are completely different.

Emperor Qian naturally would not chain him up, but no matter where he went, there were always countless pairs of eyes staring at him.

These people weren't trying to stop him from breaking out of the palace—this kind of people couldn't be stopped.

Their function is purely to watch over him, which literally means "watch over".

What Qiandi said was very clear, if he tried to leave the palace, or disappeared under the noses of these people, they would send a signal, and Qingyi and the others would immediately fall to the ground—there was no need to even report to Qiandi.

Yun Qi didn't know whether Emperor Qian really gave such an order, but he didn't dare to gamble with Qing Yi's life.

There's no way, if Qing Yi and the others are used to threaten him to wipe his neck and hang himself, he probably won't agree, but if he just let him live comfortably here for two days, it's fine.

It was raining patter outside, and the wet wind felt comfortable on his face, Yun Qi looked at the thousands of threads slanting past outside the window, his eyes were a little dazed.

It is said that the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River is the most moving, but that is just the poet's feeling. In Yun Qi's view, the rain in the north is more comfortable than the south. There is no feeling that even the quilt and underwear are damp, as if water can be wrung out at any time—— The air here is dry, and every rain is a nourishing enjoyment.

Emperor Qian had been standing at the door for a while, watching that young cat who had always been used to being at ease curled up on the grand teacher's chair, his eyes fell out of the window without focus, and he didn't know whether he was looking at something or thinking about something... His expression Somewhat dim.

Hearing a dry cough at the door, Yun Qi turned his head and saw Emperor Qian standing outside the door with the curtain half raised.

Emperor Qian opened the curtain and entered the door, and said with a smile, "It's time for lunch... eat here?"

Yun Qi gave an "um" and didn't speak.

As soon as Zhang Cheng waved his hand, several maids came in silently carrying food boxes, and filled the empty tables in a blink of an eye.

Emperor Qian sat down first, and waved: "Come over for dinner."

Yun Qi stood up in response, his eyes fell on the table full of food, he couldn't help being slightly stunned.

Compared with the battles of eating these days, the food on this table is not rich, but the problem is that these dishes are all his usual and favorite dishes.

And it's not the favorite food in this life, but the previous life.

There are only two people in the world who can make this table, Gu Yaoqin and Liu Yue.

Yun Qi sat down and said casually: "This doesn't look like the craftsmanship of the imperial chef."

Rarely did he take the initiative to speak, Emperor Qian was in a good mood, raised his eyebrows and said: "How do you say?"

Yun Qi said: "The craftsmanship of the royal chef is naturally full of color and fragrance, which is beyond comparison on the outside. Especially in the word 'color', it is much more particular than the folks."

The appearance of this table is actually quite good, it can attract people's appetite, but it is far from the fineness of the imperial chef's arrangement.

Emperor Qian nodded and said, "The girl of the Gu family did it."

Picking up the chopsticks to serve him dishes, he said: "I see that you are not used to the food in the palace, so let that girl come into the palace and make you something delicious. I tasted it, and it was pretty good."

Yun Qi squinted at him: Why is this man so thick-skinned? He knew his son's virtues, and even pointed out his daughter to marry him, but on the first day of their wedding, he demoted them to common people , to sever the relationship between father and son...

He made people suffer so badly, and then he turned his head and asked someone to come into the palace to cook for him... Aren't you afraid that someone will spit into the pot?

Emperor Qian didn't look sideways, but as if he felt Yun Qi's gaze, he poked a piece of fish maw and put it on Yun Qi's plate, and brought a piece for himself, said while eating: "She dare not."

"Ok?"

Emperor Qian said: "Whether it is poisoning, spitting, or resentment, she dare not.

"In this world, there are people like you, but there are more people like Gu Yaoqin.

"The monks say 'all beings are equal' every day. Why? Because they are not equal, so they say it."

"This inequality is not something that is said or written on paper, but is hidden here." Emperor Qian touched his chest, casually said: "It is deeply rooted.

"This kind of cognition has nothing to do with high or low status. Those with low status are of course accustomed to obeying orders, while those with high status, when they think they can ask others for whatever they want, they acquiesce that I can dictate their future, Fate and life and death.

"For example, when a person accidentally collides with someone while walking on the road, if the person who bumps into him is a beggar, he will scold and insult him, or even punch and kick him. If the person who bumps into him is me, he will kneel down and beg for mercy. Sha Zhien is so grateful, there is absolutely no hypocrisy."

He looked at Yun Qi, shrugged with a smile, and said, "This is power."

He said again: "The fish is not bad, try it."

Yun Qi lowers his head to eat the fish.

Emperor Qian changed his chopsticks and continued serving dishes to Yunqi, and said casually: "The word "rights" divides people into three, six, and nine classes, and the royal family is superior. But Buddhism calls 'all beings are equal' every day, but the emperors of all dynasties have been able to I can bear it until the tail is too big to drop, then I will deal with it a little bit, do you know why?"

Yun Qi didn't raise his head, he said: "Because of Buddhism, what one cultivates is the afterlife."

Emperor Qian smiled and said, "That's right, because they are cultivating the afterlife.

"Buddhist teachings let the common people abide by their duties, do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and accept what comes and goes, but what they want is not the present, but the Paradise of Paradise after death, or in the next life to be... a master."

"Master Ren..." Emperor Qian shook his head and laughed, and said, "How can people not like such teachings? If Buddhism can keep its own place, I hope that everyone in the world will believe in Buddhism."

Yun Qi looked up at Emperor Qian, didn't speak, and concentrated on eating.

Gu Yaoqin is used to being careful, and prepared a complete meal: staple food, cold dishes, hot dishes, soup, desserts...everything is available, and there is a pot of tea at the end.

Yun Qi poured a cup for himself and Emperor Qian, but didn't drink it, he just sniffed it and put it down, saying: "Power is certainly tempting, but in the final analysis, it is only a kind of power."

"Ok?"

Emperor Qian put down his chopsticks, stopped eating, and looked at him with interest.

He used Gu Yaoqin to start the topic just now, it was nothing more than to show Yun Qi the beauty of power, and tell him that the Buddhism he admired was just one of the tools used by the royal family to consolidate power.

He has said words like this more than once, and with this young man's spiritual wisdom, he will never fail to understand, but this is the first time he has spoken.

"Right is power, and so is the sword in my hand." Yun Qi said, "There are indeed many people in the world who tirelessly pursue the word power. The root cause is that they are either obsessed with power itself, or they want to use power to get what they want. Yes, protect what you have.

"But the former, I don't like it, the latter, I don't need... I have a sword is enough."

Emperor Qian tapped his finger on the case lightly, and said: "If you don't need it, why are you trapped here?

"If the world belongs to you, if everyone in the world is for your use, why are you coerced and trapped in this small palace?"

Yun Qi sneered, and said: "The reason why I was coerced by His Majesty is not because Your Majesty...you are shameless? What has it to do with power?"

Shameless... Zhang Cheng trembled in fright, stared at Yun Qi incredulously, wishing he could cut off his ears and pretend he didn't hear.

Emperor Qian was not very angry, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Yun Qi, as if listening to him carefully.

Yun Qi leaned back in his chair lazily, and said: "Although your Majesty's martial arts are good, it's a pity that you have a heavy responsibility on your shoulders, and you are bound to be unable to go to the highest place, so... even with the help of Zhang Gonggong, at such a short distance, I think it will not be difficult to restrain His Majesty before the outsiders rush in... What did I say?"

The smile on Qiandi's face faded little by little, and he nodded: "Not bad."

Yun Qi said again: "That day when I was hiding in His Majesty's mansion, although there was an ambush from all sides, and the relatives around me were kidnapped, but at that time Your Majesty was only half a zhang away from me, if I join hands with Duke Ding, we will stop His Majesty is a hostage, it's easy...Is that right?"

Emperor Qian nodded again, and said lightly: "Not bad."

Yun Qi said: "Knowing this, Your Majesty is still confident, it's just that he and Ding Guogong are not willing to hurt you...Your Majesty, because I don't want to hurt you, you are confident, but you use the people around me to blackmail you." To me...isn't that shameless?"

Emperor Qian stared at him for a long time before saying, "Forget it."

Yun Qi met his eyes and asked: "Then, can I go?"

Emperor Qian leaned back in his chair, watched him remain silent for a long time, and finally said, "Of course."

Yun Qi smiled, stood up and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

Just like that, he turned around and walked to the door. There were several oil-paper umbrellas standing under the eaves outside the door, all of which were made by famous masters. They were painted with ink landscapes or beautiful women on swings.

Zhang Cheng was dumbfounded and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...that's all..."

He really couldn't figure it out, when the emperor came, he was still enthusiastically planning to take Yunqi to the lake after dinner, how could he let him go with just a few words?

Another exclamation of "Ah", his face turned pale, and he stomped his feet and said, "It's broken! I forgot to notify the outside. If the little master walks out like this, what if those people really kill Qing Yi and the others?" Got it!"

Just as he was about to go out in a panic, he heard Emperor Qian say coldly: "No need."

Zhang Cheng said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this is not a joke! If Qingyi and the others are really dead, you and the little master will just..."

Emperor Qian's face was very ugly, and he said lightly: "Those slaves have already escaped."

"Ah?" Zhang Cheng was stunned, and said, "When did this happen? Why didn't the slave know... Bah, no! The slave said, how did the little master know about this?"

In the deep palace, with dozens of pairs of eyes staring at him all day, no one even talks to him except Emperor Qian... Even if Qing Yi and the others really ran away, how would Yun Qi know?

Emperor Qian said lightly: "I don't know when Qingyi and the others ran away, and how Qier knew, I don't know either. But..."

He laughed at himself, and said: "With his temperament, how could he say such things to me when he was coerced and unable to control himself?"

Those words about "shameless" are accusing him of being good, but if such words are said when being coerced, how is it different from begging?

So there is only one explanation. Before that, the boy was already free. Asking him "Can you" is just giving him a step up.

It doesn't matter how Qing Yi and the others ran, what is important is who's hand stretched out so long, under numerous barriers, under the eyes of everyone, and under his nose, passed the news in.

His eyes swept over the table of meals that had hardly been touched, and finally fell on the cup of tea that Yun Qi poured for him, his face darkened instantly.

The tea was brought along with the food, and it was only after the tea was poured that Yun Qi talked more.

Before, he only thought that Gu Yaoqin acted well, but now he felt that something was wrong.

These people are here to deliver food, not prison food, what tea do you want?

Are you afraid that Yun Qi will have no water to drink here?

Even if it is really good tea that is not available in the palace, there is only tea leaves to be sent, there is no reason to bring the tea after it has been boiled - no matter how good the tea is, if it is boiled and sent all the way from the imperial dining room, what taste can it have?

Emperor Qian raised his hand and drank the half-cold tea in front of him. The next moment, the teacup was crushed into pieces in his hand, and he said coldly, "Lu'an melon slices... Lu'an!"

Lu'an melon slices were picked ten days before and after the Grain Rain, and now the first wave has just begun, and it is still early to pay tribute to the palace, but now, it happened to appear on his table ahead of time.

Lu'an!

Zhang Cheng hurriedly took out his handkerchief to wipe Emperor Qian's hands, and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, why don't you ask General Qin to come in and ask him to lead someone to chase him?"

Emperor Qian said lightly: "No need.

"Although those servants ran away, the monk is still there... Now it's a step back, he doesn't dare to leave the capital for the time being."
