Chapter 496: In the dark room

  Chapter 496 In the dark room

  Emperor Qingming said this sentence in his heart at this time, not without reason—

  Half a month ago, he wrote a secret decree and sent it to the Dingnan Palace in Ningyang.

  Just yesterday, he received a reply from King Dingnan—

   Thinking of the letter that did not even appear to be written by Wu Jun, the emperor felt that a fire was burning in his heart, and his internal organs were so dry and painful.

  He explained the current situation with Wu Jun in detail on the secret edict, and the difficulties faced by the imperial court today, but the old thing only returned to him-even in this situation, I hope that your Majesty will come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible to solve the problem.

  Don’t he know that he has to respond as soon as possible?

   And the reason why he preached this secret decree was clearly intended to let the Wu family try to help him set the chaos as soon as possible!

  This old thing is just pretending to be confused, waiting to see him joke...!

  He had seen it a long time ago. The Wu family in Ningyang, who has always been proud of himself, has never regarded him as the emperor in his eyes!

   was when he sent a daughter into the palace to be a queen, she also had a high posture, and it seemed that he could not be regarded as a royal family, and promised his courtship, it was like a great grace and dignity...

  He has been thinking since he received the reply yesterday, if it is his second brother who is sitting in his chair today, would the Wu family sit on the sidelines with such cold eyes?

   No matter how many times he thinks about it, the answer is the same-never!

   Therefore, these so-called gentry are actually the most hypocritical and hateful!

  Including his queen, they have never been with him at all...

The willow branches swayed slightly, the breeze wrinkled blue waves, and the cat was sleeping soundly on the boulder. It was a cool and relaxing picture, but it couldn’t calm the emperor’s irritability at all, and instead made it a anger that was nowhere to flourish. More and more prosperous, eager to find an outlet for venting.

  "Stop—" Emperor Qingming said suddenly.

   Hearing this command, Long Yin was quickly put down steadily.

   "Does your majesty want to enjoy the coolness?" Li Ji smiled and said: "This is indeed a clean place. Your majesty can go to the small and medium-sized pavilion to sit for a while."

   Emperor Qingming was noncommittal, and walked towards the huge boulder unhurriedly.

  Sunlight shines through the branches and leaves of the willow, and sprinkles a little bit of gold on the cat's body, making the shiny fur lined more beautifully.

  However, as Emperor Qingming approached, under the shadow of the tall figure, the golden color of the cat's body was completely obscured.

  At this moment, Tianfu seemed to notice the danger approaching, and suddenly jumped up vigilantly.

  The moment he met the pair of yin bird eyes, the cat's hair stood up, his face began to look fierce, and his mouth also made an unfriendly cry.

  Seeing this scene, Emperor Qingming let out a sneer from his lips and teeth.

  It's not that I have never seen him, but it is still such a hideous look that is about to pounce at any time, it is really a good cat raised by the queen!

  "Grab this beast to me..." Emperor Qingming's eyes were extremely cold, but there was a hint of vague and strange excitement: "Be careful, if you accidentally fall into the pool, the queen may be sad."

  Understanding the meaning of this sentence, Li Ji couldn't help being startled.

How can the emperor compete with a cat?

  This is obviously dissatisfaction with the Wu family, but it is not easy to happen, so I want to vent this dissatisfaction on the empress’s love cat...

  Although your majesty’s pattern is not always big, it is so small...Is it about to be driven mad by the many recent disobediences?

Seeing that alert, with a silver lock hung around his neck, it was obviously a cat that was raised with care, and he also raised two cats in private. Li Ji, who is also a cat lover, was a little bit intolerant, but the emperor’s Order not to be violated.

   had to tell the palace people to come forward and surround the cat.

  Behind the flower cat is a pond, and seven or eight palace residents will be able to escape without leaving a gap.

  A **** jumped up to catch the flower cat.

  Mao's body is agile and quickly avoided. However, at this time a guard took out the slingshot used to drive the cicadas, and a flying stone hit the Cat's hind legs heavily.

   "Meow!"

  Tianfu was startled and pained, making a piercing cry.

   Emperor Qingming's mood was a little more comfortable, and he was a little regretful—it was a pity that he didn't hit his head.

  The idea just appeared, but his pupils suddenly shrank in the next moment.

  The tabby cat turned out to be crazy, jumped up and rushed towards him!

  The cat who didn’t look too big, jumped like this and looked terrifying, like a beast that made people fearful. Emperor Qingming retreated subconsciously, but it was still too late—

  The flower cat pounced on his chest, and his four paws hung tightly on his robe like a hook, and the two front paws were raised, hitting and scratching at him!

  Li Ji was shocked.

  He has been keeping cats for many years, he knew that once a cat was startled...it would be another animal! Regardless of your small size, you can really beat you up to doubt life!

  Although he inevitably felt that the emperor deserved it, but the emperor was the emperor, Li Ji could only shout "Guardian!" while trying to tear the cat off.

  After the two of them worked together, the flower cat was "pulled out".

  A group of internal monitors came forward again.

  In the chaos, an internal supervisor seemed to have tripped over something, and fell down here with a loud sound.

  Tianfu took advantage of this gap, jumped over the body of the inner prison, and ran away quickly.

  The inmate climbed up and got up, the face that raised was the correct Xiaochenzi.

   "Where is the cat?"

   "It seems to be gone!"

   "I don't care about cats or cats... Help your majesty go back, please come!" Li Ji said nervously as he looked at the scratched majesty the emperor.

  Emperor Qingming, whose neck and jaw were scratched with blood in sight, was lifted back onto the dragon, trembling with anger.

  He was hit by a cat!

  And this group of trash even let the cat run away!

   quietly glanced at the embarrassing emperor, Li Ji sighed in his heart.

  So, if you are in a bad mood, you are not good. What should you do to provoke other cats...

  Does the emperor now feel that he was in a good mood before?

  ...

  Frightened, Tianfu rushed out of the imperial garden all the way, copying the unmanned path, and ran outside the dark court.

  Even in daylight, the door of the dark court is closed.

  Mao'er found the dog hole in the corner of the wall and got in.

  The old small courtyard door in the dark courtyard had long been damaged. Tianfu squeezed in from the gap under the door panel and came to a room with a large hole leaking half of the roof collapsed.

  The long-unoccupied house was full of moldy air due to the leaking rain. A bed and a wooden cabinet were all worn out.

  Tianfu walked around behind the closet leaning against the wall.

It is said that it was placed against the wall. Because the corner of the cabinet was against the wall, there was some gap in the middle. It was through this gap that Tianfu was able to follow the entrance hidden under the cabinet and descend into the ground room—the first one. When she came back, Huamao thought she was lucky to have found the mouse den and was about to kill.

   At the entrance is a one-step stone ladder. The cat's claw stepped on it lightly and silently, but it was still noticed by the people in the secret room.

"You came…"

  It was a hoarse and somewhat slow voice.

   Tianfu "meow" as if responding.

  In the darkness, the man sat up and stretched out his hand towards it.

  Tianfu ran over and touched the hand affectionately with his head.

  Hugged it in front of him with his big hands, and soon discovered the abnormality: "Injured?"

  Tianfu couldn’t answer by himself, and the man didn’t need it to answer. He put the cat on the blanket in front of him for the time being, moved his body and stretched out his hand, fumbled for the fire folder on the small case, and lit an oil lamp.

  The small secret room was quickly filled with light.

  The appearance of that person also became clear.

  Grey hair is loosely tied on top of his head with shiny old wooden hairpins. The gray robe has a pale skin color that never sees the sky, and even small bloodshot eyes can be seen under the skin.

  He sat there and looked at the cat’s injured leg.

"Fortunately, it's not serious...Thick skin is also good." He took out a bottle of medicine from the box at the end of the couch, crushed it and pressed it on the wound of the cat, tore a cloth towel, and wrapped it firmly. , And a small bow is tied at the end.

  "Remember to be more careful next time. How many times have you taught you. It is best to avoid people when you see people..." He sighed and said, "It is a good thing for someone to support it.

  Tianfu doesn't know if he understands what he said, and "meow" from time to time.

  While speaking, the man's hand touched its neck and he skillfully opened the long-life lock.

  Is a reply...

   Perceiving something hidden inside, the man took out the note with his fingers trembling slightly.

From the moment the flower cat walked into the secret room, he was wondering whether he would bring a reply. First of all, he chose to dress the cat with medicine. Of course it was something he really wanted to do, but the other important intention in the subconscious was somewhat similar to not dare. Anxious to check...

  He was afraid of seeing bad news.

  In the past few years, all the ordinary people he has experienced are simply unimaginable. The reason why he can survive today is the responsibility to his wife and children. This responsibility has long been his only sustenance for living...

  If something happened to your wife and children...

  It is possible that even if he just thinks about it, he feels unable to face and accept it.

  But after taking out the note, his actions became uncontrollably urgent again.

  Looking at the lamp closely, the man’s eyes vibrated and he was delighted.

  It's Tim...!

When he left that year, Tim Er was more than twelve years old. Since the child began to learn handwriting at the age of four, he himself has been teaching. It was written by Tim Er!

  His son is safe.

  The man breathed a sigh of relief.

   But looking at what was written on the note, worries and doubts arose in my heart.

  Some time ago, he was indeed ordered to prepare poison. The people who came to spread the word brought a lot of requests. They were colorless, tasteless, symptomatic and unsolvable, so he had to do his best...

  As for who the poison is used to deal with, it is not his fault, or even what he cares about.

  A person who has been kept here for eighteen years can no longer even be called a complete person. He has long been numb to all the so-called right and wrong outside.

  The note in his hand is small, and there are few places for writing. It is difficult to explain in detail in a few sentences, and it cannot make him distinguish too much.

  But just relying on Tim, how did you find him step by step?

  There must be others to help...

  Looking at the tabby cat lying in front of him, the man's eyes hesitated.

  Human death can also be divided into two types.

   One is physical death, and consciousness disappears from this world.

  The other is his kind-no one knows that he is still alive, and he can no longer appear in front of people.

   Therefore, he has always felt that he has been dead for many years.

But at the moment when his family knew that he was still alive, he seemed to be alive again suddenly, regaining his original identity and position in this world, and reconnecting in the same world... "resurrected from the dead", of course. Rejoice in life.

  But he would rather die forever—

  It’s better than now that Tian’er takes various risks for his affairs, and I don’t even know if it was taken advantage of by someone with a heart, and was involved in a vicious vortex!

  His usefulness is not a perfect life-saving talisman for Timer...

  If Tim's is safe and stable, he will not be right and wrong, and everything is easy to say, but if he really touches the secret that should not be touched...

  Because of all these uncertainties, the man didn’t know for a while whether he should answer this letter or not.

  While hesitating, the sound of the wooden cabinet being moved suddenly came from above.

  The man’s eyes changed, and he wanted to blow out the oil lamp without blowing it. After the oil lamp was lit, there would be a smell that could not be dissipated for a while.

  So just put away the note and picked up the medical book on the side.

  "Don't speak out..."

  He whispered to the cat in front of him, hiding the cat behind the couch.

  Walking in was a gray-haired eunuch, thin and not tall, at this moment carrying a food box in his hand.

  "The lamp is on." The eunuch's tone was casual.

   "Hmm." The man held the medical book and looked at him, "How come today so early?"

  I usually come here at night.

"There are other errands in the evening, and it is not easy to make a fake hand, so I had to come here earlier." The **** walked over, bent down before the case, and laid out the food in the food box: "Eggplant roasted meat, braised chicken breast...all. It’s still hot."

  The man did not speak, took the bowl of rice, and started eating with chopsticks.

  His diet, in this dark court, there should be no other person to match.

  After all, someone needs him to live well, and try to live as long as possible.

After eating, the man asked the **** as usual: "Is there any news about my son recently?"

  This is a question he asks every few days.

   "Everything is fine, just running into the city more frequently..." The news from the **** told him: "Meeting with an old friend, I enjoyed drinking and eating very much."

  This is the question he must answer. These messages are used to give the other party a life-saving medicine.

   But to be honest, he doesn't know if it is true or not.

  I think most of them should be true.

  After all, the other party is still very useful, and the mind can be called meticulous. If all the lies are brought from the beginning to the end, it is expected that the other party will not be able to hide it for 18 years.

   "Old friend?" Qiao Bing asked, "Is it the second master of the town government office?"

  Although he has not left this secret room in these years, he still knows the general situation of Tim's. Some are out of a father's genuine concern, and some are extended temptations to distinguish what he heard is true from false.

   "That's right, I heard that I went to the "Pingqing Pavilion"..." The **** has long been accustomed to his temptation, and only answers what he knows truthfully.

  The man nodded, but there was nothing strange on his face.

  Tian'er frequently enters the city and meets a lot with the second master of the town’s Guogong Mansion...

  So...is it going to be Zhenguo Gongfu?

  　 Thank you Lu Qinghan for your reward, thank you for every monthly pass and recommended ticket, and good night everyone.

  　　 (The two chapters are combined together. A book friend asked why the price of each chapter is different, because the charge is based on the number of words.)
