Chapter 41
Chapter 41
Song Xuan turned around and entered the inner hall, avoiding Jianshuang's gaze, his face sank.
He walked quickly to Shang Qingyao and knelt down.
Shang Qingyao raised his eyebrows: "What happened?"
Song Xuan said loudly: "The prison robbers came from Duke Wei's mansion. Your Majesty, please send people to surround Duke Wei's mansion and capture Xie's father and son."
"Can you say that again."
Shang Qingyao rested on the edge of the memorial with bruised veins in his hands, and his face was terribly cold in an instant.
Xie Tangru was also in a bad mood.
He originally planned to go to the palace himself to get back his jade pendant, but he had a dream again.
His dream was entangled with Shang Qingyao's, and he couldn't even tell whether it was his dream or whether he had strayed into Shang Qingyao's dream.
... Anyway, it was Shang Qingyao's fault, instead of staying in his own dream, he insisted on running into his dream.
While thinking about it, Xie Tangru unceremoniously occupied the imperial concubine's couch covered with soft white fox fur, and looked at the "Shang Qingyao" in front of her with her face up.
A Shang Qingyao who is no longer a youth.
He is about the age of no doubts, and the accumulation of time has made him even more unfathomable, and the majesty belonging to the superior makes people dare not look at him closely.All the maids and servants waited silently outside the palace with their heads down, and they could almost hear each other's light gasps—obviously they were terrified of this His Majesty.
Xie Tang tilted his head, he had only seen two emperors, one was the first emperor and the other was Shang Qingyao.The first emperor indulged in drinking and sex all day long, when Xie Tangru saw Tianyan for the first time, he suddenly felt that the emperor was no different from ordinary people, they were all mortals.But Shang Qingyao - he was different from others there.
-
Is a true emperor.
Relying on the fact that he was in a dream and could do whatever he wanted, Xie Tang stared at Shang Qingyao unscrupulously.
Compared with his youthful appearance, he hasn't changed much.The years seemed to love him extraordinarily, and even the traces left behind were faint. Many courtiers had grown hair on their sideburns, but he was the only one who looked like he was then.
But this "Shang Qingyao" was different from the one he knew.Xie Tangru said that it is not clear where this difference comes from, but it is just a few words "everything is impermanent".
——It wasn't until a long time later that he thought of this dream again, and then he realized that he didn't understand the sufferings of the world, and he underestimated the thoughts of others.
It's a pity that Xie Tangru at this time still doesn't understand anything.
He just looked at Shang Qingyao with great interest. The emperor was undoubtedly extremely diligent in dealing with government affairs, and also extremely restrained his own selfish desires. He did not appoint courtiers because of his likes and dislikes, and he was extremely tolerant towards the palace people and subordinates around him. .His rule was much more prosperous than that of the first emperor, the government and the people were clear and bright, the government was well-organized and the people were harmonious.From every aspect, he is the most outstanding emperor.
Anyway, if Xie Tangru were to roll up his sleeves and do it by himself, he would definitely not be able to do this.
But no one is perfect, and emperors also have their disadvantages.Among the palace population, one of the biggest problems for the emperor is that he has no heirs of his own.The current crown prince was adopted by the emperor from the clan. It is said that the young man is precocious and very intelligent, but he is not very close to the emperor.
Superficially father and son.
Xie Tangru observed for a while, and finally understood where this sense came from.It cannot be said that Shang Qingyao in the dream is not a qualified father. He has taught the prince what he should have, hired famous Confucian teachers for him, formed a team in the Eastern Palace, and even taught him to handle government affairs himself. Out of his need to cultivate a qualified heir.
Xie Tang felt a little embarrassed when he thought about it.
Shang Qingyao was perfect enough to be an emperor, but at this age, he has neither a wife who is as beautiful as the first emperor, nor a true friend who can make friends. The relationship between the only child is still so rigid, and he died later It is estimated that no one will cry.
A real loner.
Shizi Xie, who is as cold and hard as iron, would feel a little bit of sympathy for Shang Qingyao.
——When he woke up, he still asked his father to tactfully tell Shang Qingyao to marry a queen earlier.
The dream was still going on and on, with countless scenes changing suddenly, Xie Tangru was dazzled by seeing, and could only vaguely guess what Shang Qingyao had been ordering people to look for.
When the scene was frozen again, Xie Tangru finally figured out that what the emperor was looking for was a Taoist priest, who respectfully called him a "half immortal".
Still an acquaintance.
Master Zhang Xian who was captured by Xie Tangru.
There is no sound in the cold moonlit night, and candle shadows are reflected on the vermilion gate of the palace.
Zhang Xianshi stood at the head, saluting the emperor respectfully.
"Have you found him?" The emperor's face was hidden under the crown, and his voice was deep.
"Your Majesty, a dead person cannot be brought back to life. He has gone to the next life, and the fate of this life and this world is over. Why should you be persistent?" Zhang Xianshi was silent for a long time, and finally spoke.
The emperor propped his forehead and listened: "I know."
"But I'm always afraid that his next life will not be as good as he wants." The emperor said in a very soft voice, "Is there any way to make him live better?"
Master Zhang Xian thought for a while, and said something.The general idea is that people in this life cannot interfere with the trajectory of the next life, otherwise the world will be chaotic.But Shang Qingyao is an emperor, and Ziwei, who ordered Ziwei, is different from ordinary people. If he is willing to share his own luck, maybe he can really influence people who have already gone to the underworld.
But doing so would not benefit Shang Qingyao at all, and would actually damage his lifespan.
Xie Tangru listened, touched his chin, and felt that this set of rhetoric was too much like the liar who told the fortune under the bridge.
As an emperor, Shang Qingyao would certainly not believe such nonsense.
Unexpectedly, the high-ranking emperor suddenly stood up and said, "Then do this."
Xie Tangru suddenly didn't want to listen anymore, he looked at Shang Qingyao, turned and left the hall.
The emperor's gaze froze slightly.
Zhang Xianshi Nahan: "Your Majesty?"
"It's nothing." The emperor smiled, "I always felt that there was someone there just now. It's like he came back."
Master Zhang Xian moved his lips, and after a while he finally made up his mind to speak: "...Actually, if His Majesty wants to save him, it's not impossible."
The emperor glanced over suddenly.
"This is a secret that is not passed on by poor Taoists. It has always been regarded as a forbidden technique, and the success rate is extremely low. Your Majesty should not have too much hope." Immortal Master Zhang regrets why he said this on the spur of the moment. Come out, is it okay to cover your mouth honestly?It has to be a thankless effort.
While regretting, Zhang Xianshi said: "The poor Taoist sect has a secret method, which can trace the past of the dead and give a warning. It's just that the cost of opening this secret method is extremely high, and the poor Taoist's cultivation level is shallow, so I'm afraid I won't be able to successfully use the secret method."
…………
Xie Tangru sat on the ridge basking in the sun, he has no body, he can stay anywhere he wants.Recently, he likes to observe the people coming and going in the palace from a condescending perspective.
For example, alchemists who were frequently called into the palace by the emperor recently.
He was a little worried that Shang Qingyao would follow in the footsteps of the late emperor.This direction of development, no matter how you look at it, is very similar to the trajectory of the late emperor who was fatuous and innocent, dreaming every day in pursuit of longevity.
Xie Shizi didn't want such a big stain to appear on the resume of his only opponent, the Emperor.That would push him down!
But he is not the person in the dream, he can only watch all this happen in a regular way.Fortunately, Shang Qingyao's brain is not bad yet, and he didn't eat the alchemist's pills.
After the emperor summoned Master Zhang again, Xie Tangru jumped off the roof and slipped into the hall.
The emperor is approving chapters.
Maybe it was because the weather turned cold, he seemed to be sick, and his complexion was much paler than before.
Xie Tangru stood in the hall for a while, turned around and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Shang Qingyao's voice.
"Did you come back?"
He turned around in the same place, and waited until the last half of the incense thread in the incense burner burned, and then turned back as if nothing had happened.Shang Qingyao was still looking in his direction.
As if he was extraordinarily sure there was something there.
Xie Tangru blinked, and couldn't help wondering if this was really just a dream of his?
If it's not a dream, then what is it?
He pursed his lower lip and walked to Shang Qingyao's side.
There was a slight smile on the emperor's lips, and his voice was soft as if he was treating a unparalleled treasure.
"A Fei."
The name escaped silently from between the lips and teeth.
The next moment, the emperor felt a soft and warm touch across his face.
Xie Tangru withdrew his hand, staring at his fingertips a little at a loss for the first time, as if he still had the warmth from the time he touched Shang Qingyao's skin.
He seems to be able to meet... Shang Qingyao?
Xie Shizi quickly retracted his hands into his sleeves in a daze.
…………
The dream was too real and bizarre, Xie Tangru couldn't digest it for a while.
He didn't want to see Shang Qingyao that much either.
So Xie Tangru sent Jianshuang to the palace to get back his jade pendant.
Jianshuang had no objection to this, she smiled slightly, "However, Mr. Song who has seen me before heard that he often goes in and out of the palace, so he might run into me."
"This matter is a hidden danger, and it will have to be resolved sooner or later." Xie Tangru looked calm, "Besides, I never thought of hiding it for the rest of my life."
It would be too boring for Xie Tangru to be cautious and cautious, hiding his head and showing his tail for the rest of his life.
Xie Yuan held the long sword, looked out of the window, and interjected: "He is so stupid, he must not see it."
Jianshuang knelt in the hall, and unexpectedly remembered Xie Yuan's words.
Xie Yuan was right about one thing, Song Xuan was indeed not very smart - who would have thought that he would tell the emperor directly without any verification or evidence.
I don't know whether to say Master Song is not smart, or too smart?
Jianshuang thought expressionlessly.
Forget it, wait until the prince comes to save her a good girl from the fire pit.
The author has something to say: I originally wanted to write a little longer, but I thought I still owed seven chapters to update, forget it, let’s put it in the next chapter [Escape from the Pot].
[In addition, the weather is turning cold, everyone remember to wrap yourself up thickly, so as not to catch a cold. 】
