Yutai Bi

Chapter 305
The head of the palace, Shi, changed his official uniform and hurried down the stone steps. He saw that the servant was only in his early thirties, very young, wearing the purple robe of a first-rank chief eunuch.Protecting him was a team composed of Qianniuwei and Habayashi Army.There were also two female officers accompanying a nanny in the palace.The waiter had high cheekbones, and he was not easy to get along with from his face, his heart was pounding, and he bowed with a smile on his face: "It's late to greet you. Please forgive me, Father-in-law."

"Lead the way ahead!" The servant didn't even have a smile on his face, and stepped up the steps.

Chang Shi bowed and followed a step behind: "Xiaguan Wangfu Changshi, what is your father-in-law's name?"

"Eunuch Liu is the chief eunuch of the Xuande Palace!" A servant next to him hurriedly replied.

Chang Shi's heart beat faster, and he said with an apologetic smile, "It was originally by the emperor's side, disrespectful and disrespectful. Has Eunuch Hu passed away in old age?"

Eunuch Liu shot him a sideways look, and laughed: "Eunuch Hu, who was supposed to be raised by Rong, made a mistake and was punished to death."

The laughter was sharp and sharp in the quiet time of dusk, and Chang Shi's heart suddenly fell into the shady forest, and a cool autumn wind blew.

Not daring to ask any more questions, he led Eunuch Liu up the one hundred and eighth stone steps to the main hall.

On the bluestone-paved square outside the hall, incense tables and brocade mats have already been set up.King Teng led the officials and staff of the palace and waited early.

After a few words of greeting, Eunuch Liu called out to King Teng to accept the order.Everyone knelt down and listened to the decree.

The decree was mediocre, to the effect that the Western Turks were pacified, the emperor was happy, and rewarded all the clan relatives with a cart of silk.Encourage everyone to continue to work hard in the future.

Chang Shi wiped off his cold sweat and felt relieved.

Invite Eunuch Liu to the palace for the banquet.Arrange to take a rest with you.

King Teng's gaze rested on Eunuch Liu's purple official robe for a while, he was gentle and elegant, and he didn't talk much.The food and wine on the table are expensive, maintaining the usual image of extravagance and leisure.

After all, there are only a small number of people from the palace who can enter the palace to attend banquets.The officials of the palace took turns to toast and flatter.Accompanied by musical performances, singing and dancing, the atmosphere is lively.

Chang Shi found an opportunity to quietly tell King Teng that Eunuch Hu had been punished and died.King Teng was silent for a while.Eunuch Hu died because of him.He drank it in one gulp.

Eunuch Liu looked at King Teng with a half-smile, and raised his glass: "My lord, our family borrowed flowers to present Buddha, and I would like to toast you."

His smile and eyes are full of pride.

It was this man who took Eunuch Hu's place.How much does Hu Gonggong's death have to do with him?King Teng's eyes were slightly cold, and he put down the wine glass.

"My lord is a family member, so it's right to look down on us handicapped slaves." Eunuch Liu's sharp voice silenced the hall.

Chang Shi and people loyal to King Teng hurriedly surrounded Eunuch Liu to flatter him.

King Teng glanced at the two officials at the banquet who were in a loose posture, and he was too lazy to socialize any more, so he wanted to get drunk and escape.

"My lord, I heard that the palace of your lord is built on the mountain, and the scenery is very beautiful. There is a waterfall in the middle of the mountain, and a platform for hearing the Tao is built. There is a bright moon tonight. Watching the waterfall under the moon, drinking tea and discussing Taoism is very elegant. Before leaving, the Empress specifically told our family to go and watch it."

Wu!King Teng flicked the sleeves of his robe: "Prepare the sedan chair and go up to the Wendao platform."

Several small sedan chairs walked along the winding bluestone road.Chang Shi followed in front of King Teng's sedan chair, and said anxiously: "My lord, the ladies and nuns who came to the palace originally invited three side concubines to accompany them. Only now did Madam Cen send a letter, saying that the Empress had decreed to give her A jug of wine. The empress is afraid to drink, she is delaying time."

What kind of wine does she want Cen Liuniang to drink?Why only Cen Liuniang?King Teng frowned.Someone from the palace came suddenly.The news that Eunuch Hu was gone did not come out.

"Go over there and say something. Let them go tonight if it's convenient." King Teng ordered.

Chang Shi lowered his head, thinking of the beautiful Concubine Cen, he felt pity.He slowly fell behind the people, turned around and picked up the sedan chair and ran for a while.

Turning a bend, I saw a waterfall in front of me hanging on the mountain wall like white practice under the moonlight.The steam was steaming, the pool was silent, and a sense of warmth came over.Because it is a hot spring, the green grass and green trees on both sides seem to be more lush than other places, and the edge of the cliff is covered with yellow wild chrysanthemums.There is a stone platform on the pool, without fences or pavilions, as clear as a wall.A few palace lanterns were lit on the stone platform, and two futons were placed, one for several.

"Back off. How can you hear the truth with so many people?" Eunuch Liu ordered the Qianniuwei and Habayashi Army who came to protect him.

King Teng waved his hand.All the subordinates also retreated.Waving again, everyone has turned around the mountain road, and they can't see them.

He chose a futon and took a seat.Eunuch Liu sat opposite him.

"The empress has something to say to the king?" Teng Wang asked lightly.

The water vapor hit the stone platform, and the moonlight and lights suddenly became hazy. His face was hidden in the mist, and he couldn't see clearly whether he was happy or sad, and his deep eyes became brighter and brighter.

Eunuch Liu silently took out a Xing Kiln porcelain vase from his sleeve and put it on the case table. He kowtowed to King Teng: "Your maidservant should have died in the clothing bureau. It was the empress who carried it with her hand. The empress has reached a critical moment, please help me." The prince will help."

"Is this the same wine that was sent to Concubine Cen?" King Teng asked softly while looking at the three-inch small bottle.

Eunuch Liu did not answer, but still fell on the ground, his voice choked up: "The emperor has a headache, and when it is severe, he can't see things. The empress does not spare her life to help with government affairs...The emperor wants to abolish the empress!"

King Teng understood: "So, she wants me to die. Is it the idea to let the emperor trust her and get rid of the empress?"

Eunuch Liu didn't say anything, he knelt down on the ground and didn't dare to raise his head.

"When did Eunuch Hu go?"

Eunuch Liu lowered his head and said, "The day the servants left the palace."

King Teng said again: "How many days have you traveled on the road from Chang'an to Longzhou?"

"My lord, I have traveled all the way day and night, I dare not delay."

Seeing the pleading and tears in Eunuch Liu's eyes, Prince Teng smiled, reached out to take the bottle, and drank it all in one gulp: "I'll see, Concubine Cen. You can go back to the palace and answer your orders."

"Thank you, my lord! Thank you, my lord!" Eunuch Liu kowtowed twice, got up, bowed and retreated.

Perhaps seeing Eunuch Liu leading people away, the officials of the palace came over.

"It's all gone. The moonlight is good tonight, and I want to stay here alone for a while." King Teng told people to leave, and sat alone on the stone platform, feeling that his heart was being squeezed hard, and he was so bored. out of breath.

"Wen Dao Terrace. Meiniang, this place is a good choice. Now that I hear Dao, even if I die, I can die clearly." Teng Wang murmured.

He suddenly felt extremely tired.Those who hate those who love, don't bother to think about it.His body gradually cooled down, and Li Chengqian's concerned face appeared in front of his eyes.

"Prince, he has robbed you of your country. He is also having a hard time." Teng Wang murmured.

"Fool!" Du Yansui cursed, squeezed his jaw, broke a twig and stuck it into his mouth.

A puddle of filth was vomited out.

Du Yansui picked him up and ran out quickly.

"What are you doing!" Teng Wang's voice was hoarse probably because the branch scratched his throat.

Du Yansui was angry: "Keep your spirits! I saved your life, and the favor will be returned to you."

Du Yansui was taken aback by a slap on the back. King Teng had jumped up from his back with his strength and jumped down easily.Rubbing his throat with one hand, he looked at him with rather annoyed eyes.

It was probably because he was too surprised to see Du Yansui, or it was kind of him to think about him.King Teng turned around, looked at the waterfall with his hands behind his back and explained in a low voice, "It's not poison."

Du Yansui slapped himself on the forehead.

"She wants me to die, she won't use such a stupid way."

Du Yansui raised her eyebrows, and leaned against the mountain wall with folded arms.

After all, King Teng is the emperor's uncle, a member of the royal family.King Teng was not at fault, but the gift of poisoned wine by the Wu family was actually true.If you really want to kill King Teng to show your loyalty to the emperor or something.The Wu family will label Teng Wang as a rebel or something.

"There is a saying that is true. The emperor is jealous of her, and wants to abolish the empress."

King Teng explained three sentences.Du Yansui thought about it and understood: "The chief eunuch next to the emperor is replaced by her, the emperor will definitely be afraid of her. She is afraid that you will stand on the emperor's side?"

"En." King Teng replied, but impatiently rushed Du Yansui away, "What are you still doing here?"

Before Du Yansui could answer, King Teng had already walked to the stone platform by the pool. Seeing the filth spit out on the platform, his mood became even worse. He turned and walked towards the mountain road he came from: "My king is back to the palace. Turn back Give me the late emperor's edict, and we will be settled."

"What is the last edict of the late emperor? It's nothing. It's just an order for me." Du Yansui denied it.

King Teng stopped in his tracks, turned his head and smiled faintly: "The Du family still owes this king a favor." After speaking, he walked away in a huff.

Looking at King Teng's background, Du Yansui sighed.At this time, he felt a little sympathetic to King Teng.A moment ago, he proudly vented his anger on behalf of the deposed prince Chengqian, and rejoiced that he could sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight.At the next moment, he was forced to drink the wine given by Wu Shi, to show her that he would obey her.The chess game deviated from the direction he set.The proud King Teng should be extremely upset.

Things have developed to this day, who is to blame?
Originally, King Teng just didn't like Jinshang.Why is there another Wu Mei between the two of them.What's more, a conceited and arrogant man like King Teng couldn't bear it.It is logical to start counting the emperor.

He is not Teng Wang.San Niang is not Wu Mei either.What does other people's troubles have to do with him?The last emperor's edict?He wanted to understand that he had escaped by feigning death, so he didn't want to be involved in this mess again.If you owe someone a favor, just owe it, and just owe it to the habit.Du Yansui felt relieved after thinking about it.He strode towards the Bieyuan.
