old friends return

Concubine Yan's fingers gently ran through his hair, and slowly pulled all the hair up. Cheng Muzhi tried hard to suppress the resistance in his heart. After a short while, the crown was tied, and Cheng Muzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

Concubine Yan took the hair tie buckle and fastened the rest of her hair, but Cheng Muzhi's face froze suddenly, but he didn't move, and he clearly felt that the moment the hair tie buckle was clipped, Something stuck in.The pain was so painful that he almost sat down at that moment.

Concubine Yan Gui behind him didn't seem to notice anything, and buckled the hairband for him to ensure that the whole hair-tying ceremony was completed. She saluted the emperor next to her and retreated to a later position.Although there was no smile on his face, there was a very obvious pleasure in his eyes. Cheng Muzhi didn't even have to turn his head to feel the eyes that poisoned him.

Emperor Hengde looked at him with a loving fatherly demeanor, Cheng Muzhi stood up with Antai's support, and a piercing pain was crushed into his scalp, but he still maintained a smiling expression, watching To Concubine Yan Gui, said loudly: "Thank you mistress for binding your son's hair."

Emperor Hengde stepped out of the ancestral temple first, as if he hadn't noticed anything, and happily let Su Wenquan pass the decree, "By God's blessing, the emperor said, today the crown prince's hair is tied up, and I am very happy. Special amnesty All over the world, on the other hand, all over the country, officials and people will have fun together for three days to celebrate the crown prince's coming of age!"

After Su Wenquan delivered the decree, Emperor Hengde said to all the ministers, "There is a banquet in the palace today, dear friends, don't forget the time, but be on time!" The words were full of joy, as if it was really I am happy for my son to become an adult.However, Cheng Muzhi, who was closest to him, could clearly see that there was no hint of happiness in Emperor Hengde's eyes, only the indifference that had never changed.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" The courtiers saluted, and Emperor Hengde walked out of the ancestral temple amidst the continuous sound of drums, followed by Concubine Yan Gui who had been following behind him. Cheng Muzhi didn't let An Tai support him, even though his face was already a little pale , Cold sweat also oozes from his forehead, he still presses down on his vain steps, and walks alone to the entrance of the Temple of Heaven when he came.Gao Jin is waiting for him here.

Behind him, all the ministers got up and retreated in order according to their official ranks.

Outside the ancestral temple, Emperor Hengde and Concubine Yan Gui stepped into the sedan chair, preparing to return to the palace to bathe and change clothes for the evening state banquet.Cheng Muzhi got into the sedan chair after them, and his whole body was a little dizzy and about to pass out from the pain. The sedan chair was inevitably bumped during the journey. Cheng Muzhi only felt his scalp numb and his limbs were a little weak. I don't know what Concubine Yan Gui did in the hair tie, but she dared to harm him so directly because of the hair tie ceremony that he couldn't say anything, so she couldn't wait...

The consciousness became more and more blurred. Fortunately, the sedan chair had already reached the gate of the East Palace. Liu Qingyan was already waiting here when he knew that his hairdressing ceremony was over. Leaning on Liu Qingyan, "Ah Yan, you must have been waiting here just after I left the palace, right?"

The tone of teasing him was still the same, but Liu Qingyan noticed that his complexion was not right when he just got off the sedan chair. At this time, he had already guessed the general situation in his heart, so he had to follow his words, "I didn't wait all the time. It was just now." The servant came here to wait for His Highness after being notified by someone from the front. His Highness still needs to enter the palace later today, so you should go back to the inner hall quickly, and you will need to take a bath later."

Cheng Muzhi really pretended to be extremely tired, and let him support himself to go forward, and then let the people behind him all retreat, leaving Gao Jin alone, and whispered to him Said, "Let the waiters prepare the things they will use later in the bathroom, so they won't be used. You just need to be by the side when the time comes. I'm a little tired, so I'll go to the inner hall to take a rest for half an hour , you won’t miss the time to enter the palace. You don’t need to be here, go down.”

"Yes, the servant will leave." Gao Jin glanced at Liu Qingyan, with a hint of pleading in it. Liu Qingyan naturally knew that he was worried about Cheng Muzhi's situation, so he nodded slightly to him, indicating that he didn't have to worry. .Only then did Gao Jin bow and turn around and retreat.

As soon as he entered the inner hall, Cheng Muzhi limp in Liu Qingyan's arms, and Liu Qingyan's whole body was tilted by the sudden "throwing into his arms", and then hurriedly stood still, "Your Highness...Your Highness? !"

Cheng Muzhi held on to his last bit of sobriety, "The hair tie... Ah Yan, it's about the hair tie."

Liu Qingyan helped him to the side of the bed, let him lie on the bed, and at the same time took out a wooden box from his arms and put it in his hand, "Your Highness, this is a congratulatory gift from my minister, Your Highness can open it now Look..." Liu Qingyan didn't care about when to give him the gift, now he just hoped that he could wake up for a while, if he fainted, I'm afraid that he would really have to call the imperial doctor over, how would he go to talk to the emperor then? Confession?Even if someone deliberately harmed him, he couldn't justify it...

Cheng Muzhi's eyes lit up suddenly, and he wanted to turn his head and say a few words to him, but Liu Qingyan held him down, "Your Highness, don't move around, I will help you take off your hair." Cheng Muzhi Zhizhi had no choice but to give up, rubbing the wooden box in his hand, although the pain did not subside, but his heart was warm like a spring breeze.

Liu Qingyan took off his hair tie, and Cheng Muzhi's complexion immediately improved a lot, but when Liu Qingyan took off the hair tie, his face turned pale instantly, a silver needle nearly three centimeters long was exposed straight on the Outside, he signaled Cheng Muzhi not to move, and slowly pulled out the silver needle.

There was no blood on it, and the silver needle was five centimeters long when it was quilt. Liu Qingyan picked up the hair buckle just now, moved the jade ornament on the back, and sure enough, a cylindrical thing protruded from the front of the hair buckle. Pushed forward.

Liu Qingyan's face darkened, perhaps the silver needle had been placed in the hair tie beforehand, and Concubine Yan Gui put a little force on her hand during the salute, and the silver needle was pushed directly into the acupoint on the brain... Liu Qingyan's eyes darkened Even darker, Concubine Yan Gui also used such an insidious trick, and in such a scene, what other options does Mu Zhi have besides fighting hard...

Thinking of this, Liu Qingyan began to worry about Cheng Muzhi's situation after he really entered politics.

Cheng Muzhi saw that he had not spoken for a long time behind him, so he turned his head strangely, "Ayan? What's wrong with you?" Liu Qingyan finally came to his senses, "Is your Highness still feeling unwell? Untie the hair crown too?" Cheng Muzhi heard this, but suddenly made a plan, closed his eyes slightly, bit his lower lip lightly, and said weakly, "Ayan... I'm still a little dizzy, why don't I Will you go to the bathroom with me?" Then he took a peek at the wooden box that Liu Qingyan stuffed into him just now, put it back in his arms like a treasure, and looked at Liu Qingyan.

Unexpectedly, Liu Qingyan nodded slightly.
