Shadow Guard stand-in

It was the end of June, Jin Jiuye had been in the palace for more than a year, the child of the Qi family held a hundred-day banquet, and He Jue dragged Jin Jiuye out of the palace again.This time there was no fanfare, the two of them changed into casual clothes, just like ordinary people, walking on the street, looking at the small vendors and the crowds, the sun directly above their heads gave them a headache.

"Brother Ye, I seem to be suffering from heat stroke." He Jue covered his forehead and waved to Jin Jiuye.

When Jin Jiuye heard this, he glanced at He Jue. How could this man look weak?He knew that the master had started acting like a demon again.

"How about going back to the palace?" Jin Jiuye suggested, "Go back and use some ice, it will be very cool."

After finally coming out alone with Jin Jiuye, He Jue didn't want to go back to the palace at all, so he straightened his expression immediately, "I won't go back to the palace."

"Isn't it heatstroke?" Jin Jiuye pushed He Jue, "Master, don't lean on me, people are coming and going on this street..."

"You are my legitimate daughter-in-law, why can't you rely on me?" He Jue raised his eyes and said, not out of order, "I don't think there will be any major events this year, so how about going to Yuxiu Garden to escape the summer heat?"

"Yuxiu Garden?" Jin Jiuye thought for a while, "It's in the suburbs of Beijing."

He Jue said: "Yes, I, Li Qingyu, arranged for someone to clean up last month. It should be fine to move there in a few days."

Seeing that Jin Jiuye didn't speak, He Jue found a new excuse, and continued: "The summer heat in Beijing is very severe, and the palace is not much better. I don't believe that the child is still young, and if he is not careful, he will get sick. This is also true. For children."

Speaking of the child, Jin Jiuye's eyes fell on He Jue's abdomen. Of course He Jue noticed it and said with a smile, "Where are you looking?"

Jin Jiuye withdrew his gaze, "Master, you can go if you want."

"I knew you would agree to it early in the morning." He Jue happily put his arms around Jin Jiuye's shoulders, and said as he walked, "I have already made up my mind to live there until the child is born."

"In the past few months, Qin Zhen has also calmed down a lot. It is estimated that he should relax in autumn. With the support of Elder Qi Ge, the future is indeed bright and smooth."

Jin Jiuye hummed, "That's why the master is going to Qi's house under the sun today."

"Yeah, otherwise, why do you think?" He Jue hadn't seen Elder Qi Ge for three or two months. Ever since the incident happened in the imperial court, he said he was sick and stayed away from court and thanked guests behind closed doors. out of the mountains.

Jin Jiuye said: "Master, the last time I went to Qi's house, it was for Mr. Qi's wedding."

"So you're jealous!" He Jue slammed the bar with a little taste, "The last time I went to Qi's house was for the birthday of the eldest brother of the Qi Pavilion. It was several years ago, when I first became the throne."

"Yes, the master is leaving the palace more and more frequently." Jin Jiuye concluded.

He Jue smiled, "That's not true, I don't know who it is, that now I have to bear a lot of scolding by that old man Qin Zhen, and the Hunjun has become more and more smooth."

Of course Jin Jiuye heard it, and quickly admitted his mistake, "It's my subordinate's fault."

"It's not entirely true. In the first few years when you first ascended the throne, the order in the court was chaotic. Naturally, you had to think hard and act resolutely. At that time, you stayed in Beijing for less than two months a year, and the rest were carried out on missions outside." He Jue sighed. Looking back, "I didn't think it before, but now I think about it, it's actually quite hard."

"If you have this opportunity, just relax. I'm tired, and you are too, aren't you?"

The word tired is too strange in Jin Jiuye's world. He is a person who has never known tiredness and pain, because he is often tolerant enough that these physical tortures can be ignored.However, when He Jue said he was tired, he felt an inexplicable sense of sadness, maybe he hadn't done enough.

"Master, if there is anything the subordinate needs to do, the subordinate must..."

Before he finished speaking, He Jue interrupted, "Of course there is, Yuxiu Garden has an open-air natural bath, I want to..."

The next few words were lowered and whispered in Jin Jiuye's ear.

Jin Jiuye remained silent and took two quick steps. He Jue caught up and touched him on the shoulder, "How does Ye feel?"

The man in black didn't speak, but He Jue touched his shoulder again, "Good brother, do you agree or not?"

After walking more than [-] steps, He Jue called out four good brothers. Jin Jiuye had no choice but to say, "Master, this is on the street."

"Good brother, you should do it, okay?" He Jue said in a pitiful voice. This person is used to pretending to be wronged. Obviously no one dares to bully him, but he doesn't feel that it is against the law at all. .

Jin Jiuye nodded and continued to walk forward. He Jue paused before catching up, "Really?"

"What's serious?" Jin Jiuye pretended not to understand.

He Jue didn't care, "Anyway, I saw you nodding just now, which is an agreement, and there is no room for regret."

Jin Jiuye choked, raised his finger and pointed to the front, "Qi Mansion is here, master stop talking nonsense."

"Hey." He Jue's scheming face succeeded, knowing the man's attitude of avoiding and not answering, he admitted it.

When the two arrived at Qi's mansion, they shocked the old man Qi Ge, Qi Lezhi and others. Fortunately, He Jue told them to travel in micro-clothes without alarming anyone.They sat at the end of the table, perhaps specially arranged by Qi Lezhi, this is the quietest place, and the people at the same table are also taciturn, after careful questioning, they found out that they are old students who have just started, so they are cautious No end, and no speculation about He Jue and the other two.

Not long after, Qi Lezhi came over with a toast, and the brothers exchanged a few greetings, and called the tablemate to the other side, leaving only the three of them on the table.

He Jue couldn't help but said, "What do you want to do again? If you think I'm here for nothing, you'll be isolated, right?"

While talking, he picked a delicious braised pig's trotter for Jin Jiuye and put it in the other party's bowl.

"Your Majesty, don't wrong me." Qi Lezhi was speechless, "If your old man has any problems with me, how can I take care of it?"

He Jue pointed to the empty plate on the table with his chopsticks, "Braised pig's trotters, here's a bowl."

"A pot?" Qi Lezhi was surprised, and then said, "All right, all right. But, Your Majesty, you've been pregnant for the past few months, why haven't you shown any signs of pregnancy at all?"

He Jue waited for these words, and glared at Qi Lezhi, "Are you a midwife, why do you care so much?"

Qi Lezhi stopped a maid and asked the kitchen to prepare pig's trotters for His Majesty who came out of the palace to gnaw pig's trotters, and then replied to He Jue, "Although I don't have the skills to deliver babies, Your Majesty's baby, I am willing to give birth to you." Be sure to be safe, and guarantee a fat and chubby boy."

"Fuck you." He Jue scolded, "Don't try to slander my innocence, my body only belongs to Jin Jiuye, and I will never give you another look."

"I..." Qi Lezhi cried out, "When did I think...Your Majesty, you really know how to talk nonsense, and I don't like men."

He Jue didn't even listen, and only spoke to Jin Jiuye, "Brother Ye, you can see clearly this time, but it has nothing to do with me at all."

Well, today is another day of nothing to see.

Qi Lezhi covered his face, wanted to speak but couldn't get in his mouth, obviously Jin Jiuye was a dull gourd, so he couldn't say a few words, but it just made people feel that he was superfluous.After the braised pig's trotters were all in place, He Jue waved his hand, "Go, I don't need you anymore."

Qi Lezhi: "..."

In the end, I left an angrily sentence, "If you eat too much oil during pregnancy, be careful of dystocia."

"Difficult delivery, shit!" He Jue cursed back in a low voice, and he didn't know whether Qi Lezhi, who had gone far away, heard it or not, anyway, he and Jin Jiuye enjoyed it happily.

After the guests had dispersed in the evening, He Jue and Mr. Qi Ge talked for an hour or two in the study, and Qi Lezhi accompanied Jin Jiuye.

The moonlight is in the sky, and there are a few stars occasionally.

In the atrium of the courtyard, Jin Jiuye's shadow was reflected on the bluestone floor. He looked up at the night sky, and the surroundings were quiet. Qi Lezhi was standing on the porch not far away.

He suddenly remembered that night a year ago, the master kissed him in the Qi mansion, and later told him that the moonlight tonight was so beautiful.

At a certain moment, he seemed to realize what it was like to have a truly beautiful moonlight.

After a while, Qi Lezhi stepped forward and interrupted his thoughts, "Master Shadow Guard."

Jin Jiuye turned his head and nodded.

Qi Lezhi said: "I've already investigated the case of General Jin Lie, it's just the part about the life and death camp..."

"You don't have to mind." Jin Jiuye said frankly, "I'm not a good person in the first place."

"No." Qi Lezhi quickly explained, "I just think those things are too bloody, and it's not good for anyone to announce them."

"It doesn't matter." Jin Jiuye said lightly, "I just came out of the life and death camp, this cannot be denied."

Qi Lezhi sighed, "That's what His Majesty meant, he said, he doesn't want to mention your past, let alone make it public."

"Okay." Hearing that it was He Jue's wish, Jin Jiuye agreed without thinking.

Qi Lezhi felt a little surprised, but soon felt that it was reasonable, "In the past few days, the Yushiguan case will be brought up again, and His Majesty may issue a criminal order."

"No wonder." Jin Jiuye recalled that He Jue mentioned Yuxiu Garden to escape from the summer heat, so it was for this reason, so coming to Qi's house today should be for various arrangements after leaving Beijing.

Qi Lezhi mentioned some more details. This case is related to Jin Jiuye's life experience, not to mention that Xuanyi Division also participated in the whole process of the investigation, so there is almost nothing to hide.

Jin Jiuye didn't listen carefully, and his thoughts drifted away. After a long time, he suddenly said, "Actually, I don't want to mention it."

"What don't you want to mention?" Qi Lezhi asked.

Jin Jiuye stared at Qi Lezhi with dark eyes, and Qi Lezhi suddenly understood, "The general died wronged, no matter what, the case should be overturned, even if the culprit was the former lord of the country."

"No..." Jin Jiuye shook his head, unable to tell what he was worried about, "In my eyes, that person is not the king of a country, but..."

Qi Lezhi wanted to ask, but finally held back, and waited for a while, then heard Jin Jiuye's voice continue: "It's just his father."

"So, you're worried..." Qi Lezhi asked cautiously, Jin Jiuye lowered his eyes, then shook his head, "It's nothing."

"I have forgotten many things." Jin Jiuye couldn't remember the past, let alone the appearance of those people. To him, it seemed that they were just a few names on paper.

There was no disturbance in his heart, but if he got involved with his master, he would feel his heart suffocate, it was an indescribable feeling.

"No matter what you are worried about, His Majesty's feelings for you will not change. As for the court, there are me and my father." Qi Lezhi comforted, "Don't worry, after you are loyal, you can be honored. "

"En." Jin Jiuye didn't express any further opinions. When He Jue came out of the study, the moonlight shone on the face of the young king.

He didn't look tired or gloomy, and looked vigorous. He walked towards himself step by step, getting closer and closer.

He raised a smile, and there was a gentle smile on the brows and eyes, very shallow, but not to be ignored.

He stretched out his hand to scratch his nose, and then said with a smile: "Why, have you never seen such a handsome and handsome man? Are you dumbfounded?"

Jin Jiuye traced the appearance of his master with his eyes, reached out to hold He Jue's hand, "Yes."

"What is it?" He Jue didn't understand.

Jin Jiuye repeated: "I'm dumbfounded."

"Hahaha..." He Jue laughed without image, showing off to Qi Lezhi, and then asked, "The longer I grow, the better I look, right?"

Jin Jiuye didn't agree anymore, he listened to the conversation between He Jue and Qi Lezhi, the curfew was late at night, the two stayed in Qi's mansion, Qi Lezhi led them to the residence.

He Jue kept holding on to Jin Jiuye's hand, and Jin Jiuye let the other party hold him, he pinched his fingers for a while, and picked his palm for a while. If he had avoided it before, he didn't this time.

Walking through the corridor, he raised his head and glanced at the sky, and the words He Jue said to him before came back to his mind.

The moonlight is so beautiful tonight, and your tear mole is very beautiful.

Now, it seems to be realized.

However, He Jue looked at his expression and movement, followed by a glance at the night sky, and then said: "The moon is not round tonight, what's there to see?"

Jin Jiuye lost all thoughts in an instant.

After entering the room, after washing up and going to bed, He Jue touched him again, and he stepped aside, ignoring him, causing He Jue to call his good brother a few more times to beg for mercy before giving up.

In the early morning of the next day, Qi Lezhi overturned the case for General Zhen Guo. After decades of burying, a past incident finally surfaced. In the next few days, evidence was listed and spread in the streets and alleys, and Jin Jiuye's identity also followed suit. It was exposed to others.

At the court meeting in early July, He Jue recited the criminal edict in person, confessed to several crimes for the late emperor, and ordered Shushe to announce it to all prefectures and counties.The biggest scandal of the royal family, like a tornado, caused turmoil throughout the country.

After the court meeting, He Jue took Jin Jiuye with him, and took the imperial car to Yuxiu Garden.

When Qin Zhen and other courtiers heard the news, they couldn't stop them even if they wanted to, so they went to the cabinet to find Mr. Qi Ge.Elder Qi Ge took out an imperial edict, informing everyone of the government arrangements and follow-up matters, and said: "Your Majesty went to Yuxiu Garden to raise a baby."

"Nursing a baby?" Qin Zhen almost scolded his mother when he heard this word, "Mr. Qi Ge, even you admit that His Majesty is pregnant?"

Old Qi Ge has gone through three dynasties, and he has never seen anything. He was questioned by Qin Zhen in the hall, but he just glanced lightly.

"No..." Qin Zhen was speechless. Even if he knew the truth, he couldn't refute it now. "Then, how long will His Majesty have to give up the pick? Can you always come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Elder Qi Ge recalled the conversation with He Jue last night, when he also asked the same question, how did He Jue answer.

The young monarch said solemnly: "After giving birth, confinement, and taking care of your body, you will come back."

Whether or not to be born, when to be born, His Majesty alone has the final say, who the hell knows how long it will take?

Therefore, this answer was repeated to everyone, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay. Qin Zhen, who was hot-tempered, was the first to be dissatisfied and complained angrily.

"In the past, it was easy to do things because your Majesty is wise and powerful. One person can do the work of ten people. Now let him do nothing, but let us servants be so busy."

Elder Qi Ge also sighed, "For major matters, you can still report to Yuxiu Garden."

"That's feasible." Qin Zhen poked and decided secretly, he would go to Yuxiu Garden every day, anyway, it was in the suburbs of Beijing, if he didn't come back at night, he would live there, and see how His Majesty would get rid of him, hmph.

More than a month later, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Ge went to Yuxiu Garden, and He Jue was opening up a piece of land in the garden, saying that he wanted to plant flowers.

Old Qi Ge looked at the weather, then at His Majesty who was covered in sweat and mud, and couldn't help saying: "In this season, nothing can survive."

"Really?" He Jue scratched his head, and didn't notice when he got the soil on his hair, "I didn't say to plant it now, let's wait until next year's spring."

Spring next year?Qi Ge's eyes almost went dark, and he fell to the ground.

"Your Majesty, how long are you going to stay here?"

He Jue thought for a while, then propped up his waist and said, "Mr. Ge, look, he doesn't want a child to be born."

Although the old man was old and dim-sighted, but His Majesty's abdomen was so flat that he could run a horse, he could see it clearly, but he couldn't accuse He Jue of being wrong.

I don't know who inherited this blatant nonsense. In the end, old Qi Ge could only return without success, and was blocked back into the cabinet by such a short sentence.

After hearing the news, Jin Jiuye deliberately lifted He Jue's shirt and pinched his itchy flesh, "Six pack abs, dare to ask where is the child?"

He Jue couldn't stand being teased, so he quickly hugged Jin Jiuye, pressed his hands and said softly, "My good brother, please let me go."

Jin Jiuye didn't dare to be presumptuous, but after staying in Yuxiu Garden for a long time, he seemed to have a little more sincerity.

"Then master let the subordinates go tonight."

"No..." He Jue shook his head with a smile, then pecked Jin Jiuye's lips suddenly, "That's not okay, I was damaged by you, I have to make up for it."

"Meat compensation."
