Empress, run away, your drowsy prince is also reborn

Chapter 33 Do You Think You Are Brave
Shen Yigu fanned the folding fan, and quickly looked up and down in front of Qu Changsheng: "I mean, if you don't live well in the palace, you can go to our Treasure Pavilion, I see that you work hard and Practical and capable, I think it is a good material, what do you think? You are only half a month before the public, right? I can give you a tael of silver, and it is still outside the palace, which will not restrict your freedom at all, you see How is it? Do you want to know more about it?"

"Half money?" Chang Sheng blinked and thought seriously. If he could work in Zangbao Pavilion, he would not only be far away from Yingchen, but also far away from her mother and Chang'an. This alone reduced a lot. Trouble.

She was a little moved.

How could Shen Yigu fail to see Chang Sheng's heartbeat, seeing her eyes shining, he decided to use some finale temptations:
"Besides, after you stepped on carbon there last time, our income has greatly increased. As long as you stand at the door to attract customers, you will be given a penny commission for every person who comes. You need to know how many customers flow in our Treasure Pavilion in a day. At that time, if you earn a lot of money with us, what you want to do can't be done? It's much better than working hard in the palace and worrying about your brain blowing every day."

This is also a way, isn't it much better than her dawdling in the palace all day and having to wait a few years before leaving the palace?Chang Sheng nodded seriously:

"Then, can you have a way to let me go out of the palace?"

"Your Majesty, they—" Chong Lin, who was observing them in the dark, felt something was wrong, especially when he saw Qu Changsheng's joyful expression, and the Emperor's expression was terribly gloomy now.

Yingchen didn't say anything and asked Chonglin to go forward to remind him.

He just looked at this somewhat happy little girl, her gaze was completely attracted by this suave Shen Yigu, her pupils were full of longing and hope for the future, as if the day to leave the palace was at hand .

She always wants to leave.

This inexplicable sentence suddenly popped up in his mind, as if he knew that this girl wanted to leave every day, Yingchen lowered his eyelashes to hide the displeasure in his eyes: "Go back to the palace."

"Your Majesty?" Chong Lin turned his head in doubt, as if questioning why he didn't step forward to stop Shen Yigu who was desperately trying to do this.

It's just that the emperor glanced coldly, and he lowered his head apologetically, and immediately knew that the emperor had an idea in mind.

Outside the Hall of Supreme Harmony, as soon as Qu Changsheng stepped onto the bluestone slabs in the palace, a chilling feeling spread directly from her spine to the soles of her feet, making her shiver.

"Let's go." Shen Yigu looked at her with a smile, Qu Changsheng frowned slightly, and followed her in.

"Shen Dong's family." Chong Lin came up to meet him, and cast a sidelong glance at Chang Sheng, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes: "The emperor has been waiting for a long time, please come inside."

Shen Yigu smiled and nodded, walked forward, Qu Changsheng also followed, but was stopped by Chonglin's hand.

She paused and looked up.

Chong Lin's face was a little cold, obviously not welcoming: "Why are you here?"

Chang Sheng was stunned for a moment, with an embarrassed face: "This servant is here to deliver clothes."

"The clothes will be handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for inspection and acceptance. What kind of place are we here for you to inspect the results?" Chong Lin's attitude seemed aggressive, Chang Sheng frowned, and immediately replied:
"Your servant realizes your mistake, so I will send the clothes back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

"Hey~ why are you so indifferent." Shen Yigu stretched out his hand and pulled Chang Sheng, and stood in front of Chang Sheng without leaving a trace, as if he wanted to protect her: "We have just been to the House of Internal Affairs, but they just looked at it. Not going to us, being lazy and slippery, this girl has been standing there with a plate and waiting since I arrived."

In the words, he stepped forward and reminded Chong Lin in a low voice: "She can't stand for a long time in this situation. That father-in-law was jealous after knowing that you asked for leave for her, so he made her wait for a while in vain. When I came out, I would be humiliated by them, so I brought her here without authorization."

Chong Lin raised his eyebrows, and looked at Qu Changsheng in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

"I said that your Ministry of Internal Affairs is not tolerant, so I knew that I brought her here for inspection without authorization. Why? Don't you accept it? Is there no place in this huge palace that can do good for the emperor? "

"Lord Shen, be careful." Chong Lin turned cold, knowing the reason of the matter, he didn't have a bad face just now, but Yu Huayuan made him worry about it for a while, with a cold face, it doesn't matter whether you put it on or put it down: "Shen Go in, my lord, you will wait outside the hall."

In the Hall of Supreme Harmony, a black robe with a gold thread as a hook, the emperor propped his forehead with his hands, looking at a chessboard that seemed to be in a deadlock.

The side face is delicate as if drawn by a fairy brush, and the indifferent look is like the gift of heaven and man. Even Shen Yigu, who is used to seeing the strange things in this world, was in a trance for a moment when he saw it:
"The grassroots see the emperor."

After pinching a sunspot and placing it on the chessboard, Yingchen looked at him, "The owner of the Sutra Pavilion?"

His voice was gloomy, his sharp eyes were like Mount Tai, just one glance sent a chill down Shen Yigu's spine.

He had heard about the things in the palace for a long time. He had heard that the emperor was born with a cold body, and was so weak that he used human blood as nourishment every month.

Baobuqi, if your words are not right, they will throw you into the pool of blood.

"Report to the emperor, yes."

Ying Chen didn't say anything more, just flicked his sleeves: "Play chess with me."

play chess?Shen Yigu, who didn't know much about the emperor's routines, was at a loss for a moment. He walked forward, sat on the warm kang cautiously, twisted the white characters, and observed the situation on the chessboard.

Obviously, white has a hidden tendency to win, and although black is trapped in a dead end, it is not absolutely impossible to reverse.

The emperor asked him to hold white pieces, did he hope that he would win, or did he hope that his good chess would deliberately lose him?
Shen Yigu raised his eyes, secretly observed Yingchen's face and wanted to make a decision, but the emperor's face was as usual, as if he had already guessed what he was thinking without looking at him: "How you usually play chess, you play chess as you like." .”

"..." Shen Yigu nodded and nodded seriously.Ying Chen watched lazily from the side. After he fell, he fell.

Gradually, Shen Yigu felt something unusual.

It is clear that Reversi has vaguely seen the outcome, but in the confrontation between the two of them, he actually has the tendency to faintly lose.

Shen Yigu wiped the cold sweat from his temples, and carefully analyzed the situation, the pressure to make a move was much greater than what he had just now.

He thought he would win, but he was really unpredictable. How did he turn himself from an advantage to a disadvantage step by step?
Ying Chen didn't need to look at the face of the person opposite, his eyes darkened, "Come here."

Xuanshang stood at the door and took the tray from Qu Changsheng's hand: "Go in and serve the emperor."

Changsheng stepped into the door in a regular manner, bowed to Yingchen, and casually raised his eyes, only to see that Shen Yigu, who was still smiling just now, turned pale now, as if he had fallen into a predicament.

Seeing Chang Sheng coming, Ying Chen squeezed the sunspot with his slender fingers and gently dropped it, Shen Yigu's expression suddenly changed.

He... was eaten again.

"Pick up the son." The emperor cast a dissatisfied glance at Qu Changsheng who was beside him.

Chang Sheng stepped forward quickly, looked at the situation, Hei Zi had already eaten Bai Zi to death, there was no chance of recovery.

Can't complain about Shen Yigu's ugly face, Yingchen has never lost in chess, and she was taught by him for so long, but she just barely let herself lose too ugly.

After a long time, Shen Yigu heaved a sigh of relief, bowing down: "Your Majesty's chess skills are superb, and the grassroots are really incomparable. In the past, the grassroots thought that they were superb in chess, but now they are really ashamed. They have already suffered a disastrous defeat, and the emperor laughed at them."

"You still have a way to go." Ying Chen didn't change his face, not knowing whether he was happy or angry: "Continue."

...Shen Yigu choked, his face was a bit embarrassed, he really thought that there was no way out for the scriptures.

His own loss was already too ugly, such an obvious win made him play four rounds, and he realized at that time that the emperor didn't let him win, nor did he let him lose with a good move on purpose, but let him He saw with his own eyes that his good chess was broken by himself.

It's really a defeat.

Seeing Shen Yigu's delay, the emperor's face was gloomy, with a flash of displeasure: "Why? Don't you want to?"

"Do not--"

"Your Majesty, slaves can give it a try."

Chang Sheng spoke suddenly, interrupting the undercurrent between Shen Yigu and the emperor.

Ying Chen frowned slightly, squinting at her, the arrogance in his heart increased rather than diminished.

She actually helped Shen Yigu out?Are you not afraid of him this time?Want to play chess with him?

Shen Yigu was also surprised, he wanted to play chess with the emperor, his life was lost?
He secretly tugged at the corner of Qu Changsheng's clothes, seeing such an intimate gesture made Yingchen's veins twitch: "Get off!"

Qu Changsheng immediately picked up the white piece and dropped it on the board, seriously thinking about how to make the white piece lose so badly.

Ying Chen sat across from her and looked at her, seeing her half body leaning on the chessboard, very close to Shen Yigu who was sitting opposite him.

Frowning slightly, he immediately slapped the table, and the Qi Yun chessboard turned, turning the entire chessboard around.

Chang Sheng was stunned and didn't understand what it meant.

Ying Chen's eyes darkened, "Come here."

She froze for a moment, her breathing stagnated, and she was holding the chess piece, not knowing whether she should go forward, but who knew that Yingchen stretched out his long arm, and directly pulled her arm and leaned into his arms.

"do not move!"

Chang Sheng had already leaned on Ying Chen and was about to stand up when a hand around her waist stopped her movement: "Get down."

Changsheng's movements paused slightly, and he was in a trance for a while, and the clip of her playing chess with Yingchen in the previous life emerged.

Ying Chen played with her hair boredly, Chang Sheng bit her cherry lips, pinched the chess pieces, and put them together.

He just turned his head to look, leaned on her shoulder, raised his eyebrows in surprise, pursed his lips and said with a smile: "I didn't mean to come down here."

Chang Sheng was a little flustered, and quickly picked up the chess piece, but his hand was lightly pressed back: "No regrets, you will lose this game today."

The heat tickled his ears, Chang Sheng's face was slightly red, and his tone was joyful with a hint of hoarseness: "It seems that the empress is going to work hard again tonight."

When he came back to his senses, his hands were lazily resting in front of his body, without any lust at all.

She could feel his displeasure and displeasure, and her stiff back did not want to have more contact with him.It is clear that he is not like himself in his previous life, and why he treats himself differently.

And what is he unhappy about?

Ying Chen squinted at the person in his arms, feeling her faint anxiety and uneasiness.

Why can she speak normally in front of others, even talking and laughing, but she is trembling when she comes to him?

Feeling a little impetuous in her heart, Ying Chen's hands that seemed to be inadvertently placed in front of Qu Changsheng closed a little more, and she obviously felt her body became more rigid.

Shen Yigu, who was sitting opposite them, didn't quite understand why he was here watching the weird intimate contact between the two.

Look at the two of them as if they are a couple, but if the woman doesn't love the man and the man doesn't want to, they have to stick together in this posture.

It seemed strange to him.

The two of you came and went, Shen Yigu stretched his neck to look, and lowered his eyebrows in surprise.

Bai Zi unexpectedly turned around and blazed his way. Although losing is certain, it won't be as ugly as he just lost.

"What's wrong with your hand?" Ying Chen, who had been paying attention just now, suddenly grabbed Chang Sheng's gauze-wrapped hand. Chang Sheng's heart trembled, and he retracted his hand subconsciously, staggering a few steps back, quite flustered : "The servant is fine. It's just that I hurt my hand while doing work."

Wrap such a thick layer of gauze on the injured hand?And there will be such a strong herbal smell?Ying Chen obviously didn't believe it, staring at her hand in silence.

And if you observe carefully, her legs seem to be trembling slightly, as if her legs and feet are not very comfortable.

Shen Yigu knew that he couldn't let the emperor know at this time, so he opened his mouth to make a relief:
"Your Majesty, it's not uncommon for slaves to be injured, but your girl is really smart, and today I've seen her with admiration."

Ying Chen lowered his eyebrows imperceptibly, but temporarily put aside the matter of Chang Sheng's hands, looked sideways at Shen Yigu: "Dong Shen's family entered the palace for the first time today, why did they enter the palace?"

"Uh……"

"Don't tell me, you just want to see the scenery in the palace."

"Reporting to the emperor, Caomin came to the palace recently because he got rare and precious medicinal materials, and wanted to pay tribute to the emperor, so he personally delivered them." After speaking, he snapped his fingers, and Chong Lin came up with a tray: "This is the first-class medicinal material." Ganoderma lucidum is the best for nourishing the body, and I specially presented it to the emperor, hoping that the emperor will like it."

The emperor propped his forehead with his hands, looking sickly, but he couldn't see any joy when he saw this Ganoderma lucidum.

"Boss Shen's family just came to give away Ganoderma lucidum?"

Shen Yigu was stunned for a moment, subconsciously glanced at Chang Sheng who was beside him, frowned slightly, thought for a while, then cupped his hands and said: "Caomin, there is indeed something I want to ask."

Chang Sheng's heart skipped a beat, and Chong Lin raised his eyes to look at him.

He won't really say it, will he?

Shen Yigu frowned slightly: "Caomin..."

Yingchen's phoenix eyes flicked lightly, and his slender hands lightly tapped on the table.

"The grass people just want to be favored by the emperor, so that I can protect the safety of the Treasure Pavilion. The grass people are willing to die for the emperor, as long as the emperor says a word, all the precious medicinal materials will be offered!"
Unexpectedly, when the topic changed, Shen Yigu had already bowed his hands, with a serious expression on his face.

Chong Lin and Chang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Shen Yigu is not an idiot, just now when he was in a chess game, he thought about it and thought that the reason why the emperor behaved like this might be because of Chang Sheng.

If he said today that he wanted to take Changsheng away, then from now on, the Cangjing Pavilion would definitely not be able to land safely in the imperial city.

It's better to think about it in the long run.

The gloom in Yingchen's eyes dissipated a little, he looked at Chang Sheng, and then at Shen Yigu who knew current affairs: "Take the ganoderma, and Xuanshang will send Shen Dong's family out of the palace."

This is a tacit consent.

Shen Yigu heaved a sigh of relief, he looked at Chang Sheng, and Chang Sheng also wanted to resign, but before doing good fortune, Ying Chen looked over with a cold look, and abruptly blocked Chang Sheng's movements.

She could only watch Shen Yigu go out helplessly.

Only she and Ying Chen were left in the hall, the atmosphere was oppressive and gloomy, Chang Sheng stood where he was, his eyebrows seemed to be frowning.It is clear that I did not do anything, but it seems that I have done something wrong, and I am a little uneasy to be left here.

"Chonglin."

After a while, the emperor opened his mouth, and Chonglin stepped in. He glanced at Chang Sheng, who had a grim expression, and hesitated: "Your Majesty?"

Ying Chen was sitting in a high position, playing with the tassels on the Buddhist beads with one hand, and squinting at Chong Lin with sharp eyes: "You went to the Zangbao Pavilion that day, what happened?"

Chong Lin was startled, opened and closed his mouth, and lowered his head hesitantly.

"Mute?!"

"Your Majesty, calm down!" Chong Lin was sweating profusely, and he even knelt down with Qu Changsheng, only to hear Chong Lin struggle for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "That day, my subordinate ordered the medicinal materials—"

"Your Majesty, let the servants speak."

Chang Sheng took a step forward, lowered his eyes and said: "Lord Chonglin helped the slave once that day, the reason was that the slave's silver thread was stolen and sold into the Treasure Pavilion, and the slave had no choice but to go out of the palace to redeem it, but because of the treasure According to the rules of the court, servants don’t have so much money to buy silk thread back, so at the request of Dong’s family, they stepped on the charcoal fire and dipped their hands into the boiling water to scoop up iron, and as long as they got it, they could redeem the silk thread.”

With a tight heart, Ying Chen quickly looked at her gauze-wrapped hands and her trembling legs from the very beginning.

The phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, with a vague hint of danger: "How dare you do such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, the situation at that time did not allow the slave to make a choice. If the slave lost the silk thread, how could he be worthy of the emperor's love? Besides, even if the slave with the silver thread and gold thread took a life, it would not be able to make up for it. This also saves a lot. Trouble."

Ying Chen didn't speak, and the atmosphere became much colder in an instant.

"Do you think you're so smart?"

The emperor slowly stood up from the chair, walked in front of Chang Sheng, and looked down at her: "En?"

Chang Sheng frowned lightly, with a vague premonition, suddenly the shadow in front of him cast down, and the emperor's handsome face was within easy reach: "I thought I was very brave and smart, and sacrificed my ego??"

Her breathing was slightly stagnant, and she became a little anxious: "No..."

Being rescued by Ying Chen and hugged in his arms, Chang Sheng let out an exclamation, put his arms around his neck, and raised his eyes to see that there were dark clouds rolling in Ying Chen's eyes, which seemed to be mixed with a tinge of distress.

Is it an illusion?

Immediately, without waiting for Chang Sheng's reaction, Ying Chen hugged her to the side of the bed and took off her shoes and socks.

"Your Majesty, what are you doing!" Chang Sheng withdrew his feet, Ying Chen frowned slightly, and took off his shoes and socks without saying a word, and all he could see was the bloody soles of his feet.

Although it has a tendency to heal, the shocking burns on it are obviously irreversible.

Ying Chen glanced at her coldly: "Call the imperial doctor."

Chang Sheng was too shocked to speak under his ice-cold gaze, and remained silent.

All the people from the Tai Hospital rushed over non-stop, their faces flustered, and before they could do the ceremony, Ying Chen asked them to come forward and check.

With so many people staring at his feet and hands, Chang Sheng was very uncomfortable.

"Can this scar be removed?" Ying Chen stood aside.

"My Majesty, this scar is a burn, and it cannot be restored to its original appearance." The imperial doctor was a little embarrassed: "We can only try our best to make the scar less ugly..."

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry about me." Chang Sheng curled up his feet, and slowly tucked them into the quilt beside him: "I'm really fine."

"I want her to be good, even if she can't return to the past, I can't just let her grow like this." Ying Chen's eyes were dark, with an attitude that if you look ugly, you will lose your head: "You find a way."

"……Yes."

"Where are the hands?"

"My servant will do his best."

Ying Chen looked at Chang Sheng, Chang Sheng lowered his eyes guiltyly, and the emperor immediately waved his hand: "Go do it."

Chonglin stands uneasy and guards the door, and sees Yingchen looking back.

With a jolt in his heart, he saw the cool eyes shooting into his heart like sharp needles, and his eyes turned cold.

"Find out the person who sells silver thread, you know how to do it." Staring at him for a moment, Chong Lin felt a little limp. The emperor finally gave him a pardon order, and he did it non-stop.

Chang Sheng understood Ying Chen's temper too well: "The person who sells the silk thread is my younger brother, Your Majesty—"

"You want to speak for him?" Ying Chen looked at her.

Chang Sheng naturally denied it flatly: "Of course not."

"Then you want to forgive him?"

"...Neither."

"Then shut up."

"..."

Chang Sheng pursed her lips. Chong Lin was highly efficient. Not long after, she heard Qu Chang An shouting outside: "My lord, what are you arresting me for? I didn't make a mistake, my lord!"

"Your Majesty!"

With a scolding, Qu Chang'an became quiet.

But Chang Sheng had an ominous premonition, she wanted to go down to have a look, Ying Chen turned his back to her but seemed to be able to see through her psychology, when he raised his hand, he didn't know where the evil wind came from, the window was wide open, From his angle, he happened to see Qu Changan kneeling on the ground.

And in front of his eyes, there were rows of charcoal fires, the kind that were burning red.

How can there be so many charcoal fires in the crisp autumn weather?

Chang An's face was pale and he didn't understand what it meant.

"Last time, did you secretly pawn the silver thread that the emperor gave Chang Sheng last time?" Chong Lin stood aside and asked his servants to put a large pot at the end of the charcoal fire. bubble.

"...No, no, how could the slave sell silver thread? The slave also can't get in touch with the Changsheng." Qu Changan shook his head, looking in horror at the charcoal fire that had already guessed what was going to happen.

He heard that Qu Changsheng went to walk the charcoal fire to get back the silk thread, but this Lord Chonglin?

"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it." Chong Lin sneered: "Step over here with bare feet to prove your innocence. Naturally, I have the advantage to treat you preferentially."

"This! How can this be done?" Qu Changan said with an absurd look on his face, "Wouldn't your feet be rotten if you step on it?"

Chong Lin didn't change his face: "It's okay if you don't step on it. If you don't step on it, it will prove that you stole the silver thread. The emperor is waiting to find the thief who stole the thread. That's just right. My lord will confiscate it from you. You see how?"
