Chapter 19
Chapter 19
The morning light was shining through the window, but it was separated from the Xuanmo brocade tent on the king's bed, so it didn't disturb Murongli, what woke him up was the faint noise from outside.
Murongli didn't know when he fell asleep or how long he had been asleep. He sat up with his drowsy head propped up, and suddenly remembered the absurdity of last night.
The movement outside, is it the palace servants or... Zhiming?
Murong Li calmed down, walked lightly, and walked to the door without a sound, and saw someone in a black robe squatting on the ground to pick up chess pieces.
That's right, the table was overturned last night, the chess box was overturned, and the chess pieces fell to the ground in a mixed manner.
Well, picking up points while collecting points, for someone who is used to being pampered, it still takes some effort.
The man turned his back to Murongli, squatting on the ground to pick up the chess pieces very carefully, every time he picked up a piece, he put it gently into the chess box, trying not to make any noise.
Murongli folded his hands on his chest, leaning against the door frame, seeing such Zhiming, a smile unconsciously spread on the corners of his lips.
Seems to have a tacit understanding, when Zhi Ming turned his head, he saw the jade man leaning on the carved door, smiling gently in the soft morning light.
Remaining independent from the world, a person who is truly exiled like a fairy, but lacks coldness.
It had been a long time since he had seen such a smile on that handsome face.
However, the man didn't seem to realize how intoxicating he was.Seeing that he saw him, he walked over with a smile, knelt down beside him, picked up a black piece and put it into the chess box, "Why don't you ask the palace servants to pick it up?"
The master of the world picked up the chess pieces by himself. If this kind of hard work was written in the "Daily Notes", it would probably be famous in history.
Let the palace people pick it up?Seeing the chess table turned over in the bedroom, the chess pieces scattered, and the Lord Murong still not coming back from the bedroom, God knows what fantasies will be aroused?
But such worries seem to be limited to themselves.
Zhi Ming looked and looked at Murongli beside him in disbelief, the person in front of him didn't seem to care, took the chess box from him very seriously, and put a few white pieces in it.
How could this man be so nonchalant?
Zhi Ming finally couldn't hold it anymore, and muttered, "A Li... aren't you angry?"
He stopped the hand that was about to grab a sunspot, then snorted softly, picked up the sunspot and put it in the box, "Does Your Majesty want me to be angry?"
"Of course not, how is it possible... It's just me last night..." It's better not to mention what happened last night... Zhi Ming paused, looked at Murongli suspiciously, and asked again, "Is Ah Li really okay?" angry?"
"Your Majesty doesn't want me to be angry." Murong Li handed the chess box containing white pieces to Zhi Ming, looked at him and said, "I won't be angry."
Zhi Ming stared blankly at Murongli getting up, walked to the side of the low couch, and straightened the chess table, using only one hand from the beginning to the end.
Zhi Ming's hand was clenched tightly in his sleeve, he knew that the other hand that was idle was wounded, and it was because of him.
After tidying up the dormitory, Zhiming summoned Arjun, and set up a table for breakfast, most of which were Yaoguang's dishes.
Murongli tasted a piece casually, put down the bowl and chopsticks to support himself, looked at the table of dishes, as if he was thinking about some profound question.
"A Li feels bad?" Zhi Ming asked.
Murongli looked at Zhiming, his brows were furrowed, and he asked after a long time, "Your Majesty won't arrest Yaoguang's cook, will you?"
Zhi Ming chuckled, Murong Li was relieving him.
During a meal, the two of them didn't talk much, but it was obvious that Murong Li didn't eat as little as A Yu said.
He would eat whatever Zhiming gave him, and he would occasionally give Zhiming some food. Although he was speechless, the time here was peaceful and peaceful.
The palace bell is ringing, it's time for the courtiers to leave.
Zhi Ming hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ignore the ringing of the bell.
Murongli put down the bowl and chopsticks, looked at Zhiming, the meaning was obvious, won't His Majesty go to court?
Zhiming put down the bowls and chopsticks, and ordered Arjun to wash him up. After cleaning up, the king's prestige became even stronger.
"The widow is going to go to court." Zhi Ming walked to the table and said softly, "A Li... eat more."
Murongli nodded, and really scooped up another bowl of soup.
Zhi Ming looked at Murongli, feeling really... aggrieved...
With a soft sigh, Zhi Ming was about to leave, but his sleeves were suddenly grabbed, and he heard, "Wait."
Therefore, Zhiming "waited".
Murongli stood up and handed the soup to Zhi Ming, "Your Majesty wants to talk all morning, drink some soup before going."
Yaoguang's soup is really delicious, Zhiming thought so.
After Zhi Ming left, Murongli put down the bowl and chopsticks and sighed softly, suddenly felt that the food on the table was boring.
"Let's serve the king to wash up, little one."
This voice... Murongli suddenly turned his head, carefully sizing up the obedient waiter at the side, "Is that you?"
The little servant said respectfully, "The Lord still remembers the little one."
Murong Li was amused, isn't this the little servant he assigned to him for Lan Tai Ling Shi Zhiming?He is very prudent, and what is rare is that he is a little proficient in writing and ink, and often accompany him to review memorials.
As if thinking of something suddenly, Murongli asked, "You won't change your name too, will you?"
The little servant smiled shyly, "Little..."
"Ah Hua?" Murongli asked first.
The waiter nodded embarrassedly, blushing.
This name... really hurt this little servant.
"Oh, Zhi Ming is really..." Murong Li smiled helplessly, and said to himself.
A Hua introduced Murong Li into the bedroom, and took out a set of imperial concubine-colored gauze gowns from the lacquered wooden cabinet with familiarity, lined with a straight train with wide sleeves and cross collar, the top is winter snow white, and the bottom is autumn maple red.
Murongli's fingers caressed the gauze gown, the cuffs were trimmed with lotus color brocade, and the hem was embroidered with Yuqiong flowers, it was the clothes he often wore in the palace many years ago.
That person is still there.
After Murongli changed his clothes, he sat down in front of the bronze mirror, his hands were still aching, so it was Ah Hua who tied his hair.
Ah Hua is meticulous, without much effort, she tied it up, and when she was about to put on the hair crown, Murong left the mouth and said, "My hairpin is broken."
Ah Hua was not worried, and smiled, "Is the king afraid that there will be no hairpin?"
While speaking, he smiled and opened the black box with lacquered wood embossment on Zhiming's table, and there were a pair of jade hairpins lined up inside, one was black ink jade and the other was magenta blood jade.
Murongli stared at the pair of jade hairpins in a daze, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"Okay, let's take a look, Lord." A'hua said with a brisk smile, seeming very satisfied.
When Murong Li looked at himself in the mirror, his face was still the same, it hadn't changed at all compared to when he was a teenager, perhaps the only thing that had changed was his eyes, which were a little more caring than he could have imagined.
Murong Li looked away, unwilling to take another look.
Ahua sent someone to send Murongli back to Xunyou Terrace, but Murongli declined. Although the north wind was cold, he wanted to walk alone.
The concubine-colored gauze gown is no longer suitable for the current season, but fortunately, Ah Hua put on a velvet-lined cloak for him to block the cold north wind, but it was warm, just like the embrace of that person.
Suddenly, Murongli's heart trembled, and Murongli was startled by the thought that came to him.
Since when did a person who was used to the coldness of the world actually become greedy for the warmth given by that person.
As far as he looked up, there was a pavilion of wine cups, Murongli walked up the plank path in the water, stood facing the wind, and the koi in the water swam over happily.
"Do you still remember that I fed you?" Murong Li smiled faintly, but today he did not bring fish food.
On a certain day many years ago, he was also feeding the fish here, and the man was relentlessly arguing around him. He knew he was very angry and angry that he was going to sleep, but such an angry person still had scruples. what he likes...
"It's just that I said I like that plate, so you have to jump into the water to retrieve it for me." Murong Li looked at the water surface, as if he could see the porcelain plate lying quietly under the water through the emerald green water surface, "Is it worth it?" ?”
What is so good about me that it is worth your heart to treat me like this?
Fingertips dug into the wooden railing tightly, Murongli thought, Zhiming, in fact, has always been so gentle.
Such tenderness, he was greedy for, but it still didn't overcome the hatred in his heart, Murong Li raised his forehead, and felt a headache.
"It's windy here, may the lord go into the pavilion to rest?"
The concerned words came from behind, but Murong's heart sank suddenly, this voice...he should be happy, but at this moment he actually didn't want to hear it.
Murongli turned his head, and the person in front of him, dressed as a servant and bowing his head, was Geng Chen whom he hadn't seen for a long time.
In the gazebo, Murongli sat down and looked at Geng Chen quietly.
Geng Chen wanted to bow to Murongli on one knee, but suddenly realized that he was dressed as a servant, in order to avoid suspicion from others, he just bowed and bowed, and then knelt down beside Murongli.
"When did you come back?"
Geng Chen said in a low voice, "This subordinate was looking for the whereabouts of the divine sword outside the pass. Hearing that Tianquan wanted to attack Yaoguang, this subordinate felt uneasy. After thinking about it for a while, he came back. Don't worry, my lord. Before my subordinate came back, he had secretly Someone has been arranged to continue the investigation."
Geng Chen glanced at Murong Li, seeing that he was silent, he couldn't help but clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty, forgive me, it's Geng Chen who came back late."
As soon as he got the news outside the customs, he was shocked and immediately rushed to Yaoguang without stopping, but he heard the news that Zhiming had broken through Yaoguang and kidnapped Murongli to return to Tianquan Imperial Capital.He immediately turned his horse's head and rushed to Tianquan, and it took a lot of effort to sneak into the palace.As a result, Xunyou Terrace was strictly guarded every day, and he couldn't find a suitable opportunity. It was rare that Zhiming lifted the restraint today, and Murongli was walking alone again, so he was able to show up to meet each other.
Murong Li listened, but he just said indifferently, "It's okay, thank you for your hard work. Speaking of which, I should apologize, I failed to keep your brother."
The old story was brought up again, even if it was a clang man, his eyes could not help but redden, "Your Majesty's words are serious, Geng Chen and his elder brother are dead soldiers, they can be loyal to Yao Guang, and to the king. My elder brother... also seeks benevolence and obtains benevolence." .”
Loyal... so it doesn't matter if you die for him?It can only exist in memory forever. This is true of the person, even the dead man chosen for him by that person... What about the life of the dead person himself?Won't you regret it?
Seeing Murongli lost in thought, Geng Chen asked. "I don't know what your Majesty's plan is going to be."
Murongli thought for a moment, "Did you find anything outside the pass?"
"My subordinates did get some clues outside the pass. I found out that the Liuli Kingdom outside the pass may hold one of the swords."
Murongli finally raised his eyes and glanced at Geng Chen when he heard the words, Geng Chen lowered his voice a little more, and continued, "This sword should belong to Tianquan, but for some reason, when the founding emperor of Juntian bestowed this sword, It was rejected by the King of Tianquan County. After that, the sword was kept by Emperor Juntian's relative Shentu's family. About when Emperor Juntian was handed down to the third generation, the head of Shentu's family at that time left the customs with this sword. From the information I have investigated so far, he finally The place to settle should be the Liuli Kingdom."
"You mean the right of heaven?" An indifferent and warm smile spread over the corners of Murongli's lips, and somehow the man who squatted on the ground picking up chess pieces this morning popped into his mind. His ancestors refused to ask for a gift from the monarch. Excalibur, and he refused to take the seal of the co-lord, so he finally knew who to follow.
The author has something to say:
A Lifei's clothes were often worn by Lan Tailing in the first season. I will attach pictures on the Weibo article page.
In the second season, Geng Chen, who had been missing for a whole season, appeared. Let’s look back at the plot: Geng Yin died at the hands of Gongsun Qian at the end of the first season. I think this is also a very important reason why Ah Li attacked Gongsun. , he said: He could not protect Axu, not even the person he gave him (roughly this)
Replaying the first season, I found that there was really a reason for Ah Li to kill Gongsun, not only this~~~ If there are too many, I will not sort it out, everyone can replay~~
