Beauty Man: All Heavens and Immortals

Chapter 17 Shocking changes in the palace, the secret of the stars (recommended for collection!)
In the courtyard of Qianqing Palace.

Owen watched Emperor Tianqi devote himself to carpentry, which was regarded as a lowly labor in this era, and he was a little lost. If the model of Xiaoqian Qing Palace built by the emperor can be passed down to future generations, it can be said to be invaluable, not to mention It is indeed beautiful and exquisite, and more importantly, its artificial height!

How much should the emperor's labor cost be calculated?
Two hours later.

Emperor Tianqi danced and danced, looked at his finished work with a look of intoxication, looked at it repeatedly for a while, his face regained his composure, and ordered: "Take it down."

The corner of Owen's mouth twitched. The Emperor Tianqi was really amazing. He only admired the work that he worked so hard for a while, and then ordered it to be dismantled. Then he re-conceived the design and made it again, never getting tired of it.

Seeing that the eunuchs standing around were about to strike at the sound, Owen raised his voice, "Hold on!"

Emperor Tianqi looked over suspiciously: "Zhongxian, what's wrong?"

Owen smiled and said: "Your Majesty, this small Qianqing Palace is really beautiful and wonderfully crafted. The old slave likes it very much. I really can't bear to see it demolished. I beg your majesty to give it to the old slave." , so that the old slave can always admire His Majesty's masterpiece."

Emperor Tianqi laughed dumbly and said, "When did Zhongxian understand how to appreciate my works?"

Keshi was on the side, glanced at Owen appreciatively, and smiled approvingly: "Your Majesty, the master has followed His Majesty, and finally cultivated a bit of spirituality, Your Majesty will bestow it with grace."

The corners of Owen's mouth twitched. Although Ke Shi is enchanting and charming, she is over [-] years old. An old mistress is acting like a baby in public, and she looks at the young man with a look of "Give it to me, give it to me", what kind of hot eyes it is! ...

However, Emperor Tianqi followed suit, and said with a smile, "Since it was Madam who spoke, then well, this small Qianqing Palace will be given to you, Zhongxian."

Owen bowed and thanked: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward!"

Emperor Tianqi had finished his daily carpenter addiction, and then remembered today's arrangement, and said: "The time is just right, let's go to Xingxiyuan, and see if the treasure ship built by Guo Zhendu has met my expectations."

"Yes."

Everyone agreed, surrounded Emperor Tianqi, and headed towards Xiyuan.

When I came to the lake, I saw a big boat parked on the lake. It was novel in style and beautifully decorated. It was not comparable to ordinary boats.

Owen squinted his eyes and looked at the treasure ship, hesitating quite a bit. Whether it was in the movie or in history, Emperor Apocalypse had a problem with his trip to Xiyuan this time. He fell into the water and was frightened, and then took the "fairy medicine" offered by him, and died. This led to the downfall of Wei Zhongxian. Now that Owen came across, do you want to stop Emperor Tianqi?
"Good, good, good!" Emperor Tianqi looked at the treasure ship, praised three good words in succession, his face was full of interest, and with the support of the eunuch, he had already boarded the ship.

Owen frowned, but still followed.

The lake in Xiyuan was artificially dug, not like a naturally formed large lake like a sea. When a boat sails in the lake, the distance between the two banks is only a few tens of feet. Emperor Tianqi swam to the shore, so he didn't feel very urgent.

And God knows what the stars and seas in Owen's consciousness want?
Let's keep changing!
Under the control of the sailors at the bottom, the treasure ship was walking leisurely in the lake. Emperor Tianqi stood at the bow, looked around at the beautiful scenery, and commanded, "How can there be no wine in such a beautiful scenery."

Ke Shi hurriedly arranged for people to place wine and food on the bow of the boat, these were all prepared long ago, naturally very quickly, Emperor Tianqi greeted: "Zhongxian, madam, come and drink with me."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Owen replied.

But the Ke family had already snuggled up beside Emperor Tianqi, holding wine and food in person, until the glass was dry, very generous.

Walking to the north bridge, a gust of wind blew by, and the treasure ship, which was as stable as a chime stone, suddenly trembled, and then began to swing from side to side, throwing the Emperor Tianqi sitting on the bow of the ship suddenly.

"His Majesty!"

Seeing this scene, hundreds of attendants shouted in horror, but what made them even more frightened was that the treasure ship started to fall apart...

These attendants were all court ladies and eunuchs. They had never encountered such a crisis before. They were all flustered and didn't know what to do, but Owen calmly jumped into the water and chased after Emperor Tianqi.

"Help, save me!" Emperor Tianqi didn't know how to swim, so he was thrashing in the water. When he saw Owen coming, a glint of hope flashed in his eyes, and he shouted intermittently, drinking a few sips of water from time to time.

Owen jumped into the water, his mutilated and aging body froze, but it was Wei Zhongxian's body who couldn't swim, and instinctively didn't adapt. Fortunately, Owen quickly adjusted and swam to Emperor Tianqi's side quickly. Holding him, he swam towards the shore.

As for the other people who fell into the water, as well as the Ke family, he didn't want to care about it.

Owen, who was originally excellent in water, felt a little strenuous to support Emperor Tianqi this time. When he swam to the shore, he was already out of breath. Seeing Emperor Tianqi was a little lost, Owen hurriedly supported him and slapped him on the back. , let him spit out the water in his mouth.

"Zhongxian, you have killed me, you have killed me." Emperor Tianqi trembled all over.

Owen comforted: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the old slave is here, and he is already safe."

Turning around, he saw that many court ladies and eunuchs had already swam to the shore, and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty is here, don't hesitate to go to the imperial doctor!"

A few young eunuchs who were excited, regardless of their wet bodies, agreed and ran away. Owen directed the other people to carry Emperor Tianqi and Ke Shi towards the palace. After walking for a while, they saw those few A little eunuch came hurriedly with the imperial doctor, carrying a sedan chair.

After a local examination, he helped the ashen-faced Emperor Tianqi into the sedan chair.

That night, Emperor Tianqi developed a low-grade fever, and he often let out horrified cries, which caused the entire palace to become a mess.

Owen asked the imperial doctor carefully, and they all said that his body was fine, but he was frightened and his mind was unstable, which was really troublesome.

The imperial capital, Xinwangfu.

"Your Highness, are you still asleep?"

In the courtyard, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was wearing a python robe, looking up at the stars. Hearing this, he turned his head and saw a woman, dressed in common clothes, standing prettyly behind him, staring at him.

Although she is dressed in commoner clothes, her skin is as white as jade, and her country is beautiful and fragrant. She is indeed a beautiful woman who can overwhelm the country and the city. She is the concubine Zhou of Xinwang.

Because she was born in poverty, even if she married into Prince Xin's mansion and became a princess, she still maintains the habit of being diligent and thrifty, eats vegetarian food, and manages the housework by herself, which is quite respected by Prince Xin Zhu Youjian.

Xin Wang Zhu Youjian sighed and said: "The eunuch party is causing trouble in the world, and this king can't sleep or eat in peace."

Concubine Xin stepped forward, held King Xin's hand, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, why worry, don't you Zhengchen Donglin already have a case in mind, and there must be good news in the near future. Wei Xie will not be arrogant for long."

Xin Wang's face changed, he covered Zhou's cherry lips, looked around, and said in a low voice: "My concubine be careful, since ancient times, if the king is not secret, the minister will be lost, and if the minister is not secret, the minister will be lost. The world..."

Mrs. Zhou covered Xin Wang's hand, and said with a calm smile: "It's the concubine who made a mistake. It's just that His Highness, as His Majesty's younger brother, is His Majesty's only relative now. He has always been favored by His Majesty, otherwise he wouldn't treat him like a vassal king." If you stay in the capital, you will not become a vassal. Even if Wei Xie is bold, he will not dare to offend the prince easily. Your Highness need not worry too much. Although you need to be cautious when doing big things, you also need to be calm and composed enough in addition to being cautious, otherwise in a critical moment, It’s easy to hesitate, and it can spoil things.”

After hearing Zhou's words, King Xin pondered for a moment, held Zhou's slender hand, and sighed: "What the princess said is very true."

Suddenly there was the sound of hurried footsteps, and the two couldn't help looking over, but saw a eunuch walking quickly, knelt down in front of them, and said in a low voice: "Your Highness, there is news from the palace that His Majesty is in Taiye this afternoon. He fell into the water and was frightened, and now his health is slightly ill and he is bedridden."

"Understood, let's go down." Seeing Xin Wang's complex eyes, Zhou was speechless, hurriedly waved the eunuch back, and said softly.

"Your Highness, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think too much. Everything His Highness has done is for the Ming Dynasty. Presumably, even if the ancestors knew about it, they would not blame His Highness."

King Xin came back to his senses, and sighed sadly: "Brother Huang has always loved me very much, this matter is really not what I wanted, but the eunuchs are poisoning the world and messing up the government, but Brother Huang ignores it and indulges in lowly chores all day long. I can't extricate myself from it, forget about the foundation that Taizu Chengzu worked so hard to build, and let Wei Yan ravage it, causing the court officials to retreat and the villains to swarm, this king really can't bear to see this miserable situation."

"Emperor Taizu left a will, and eunuchs are not allowed to interfere in politics. Your Highness's actions are in compliance with Emperor Taizu's will, to save our Daming country and society." Zhou comforted again.

King Xin nodded slightly and said: "The matter has come to this, we can only bite the bullet and go on."

In the next few days, under the full treatment of the imperial doctor, Emperor Tianqi's low-grade fever had receded, but he was frightened, weak and bedridden, and could no longer do his favorite carpentry work by himself.

Owen was pleasantly surprised.

Because the emperor fell into the water and became bedridden, the Donglin party members who were suppressed and unable to move in the court became active, and they all accused Owen of being unfit for escorting, which caused the dragon's body to be damaged. Keshi was buried with him.

All of a sudden, in the capital, all kinds of gossip spread overwhelmingly. There was only one central idea, that something might happen to the emperor, and something bad happened to Wei Xie.

The power of the rumors is so strong that even the Jinyiwei, which directly belongs to the emperor and is under the control of Owen, has people's hearts fluttering. When Owen saw these people looking at him with flickering eyes, the sea of ​​stars in his consciousness suddenly changed.
