Strange Tale of Qingluan

Su Zhongming was walking up and down boredly in the Imperial Garden-Bukun Court. Chao Sheng approached him generously with his hands behind his back. When he saw his profile, he immediately felt that he looked like Su Ruitian, so he opened his lips and said, "I never thought that the current Lord of Wen Kingdom would be like Su Ruitian." I am so young, it seems that I am old."

Su Zhongming turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the other party was an unfamiliar face, he was puzzled, and asked: "Who are you? I seem to have never seen you before." Chao Shenglang laughed a few times, and replied: "Your Majesty naturally did not." I have seen me, because I have been staying abroad and just came back today. In terms of seniority, His Majesty should call me fourth uncle."

Fourth uncle?The tide rises for the four princes? ! ——Su Zhongming reacted quickly, and immediately opened his eyes wide in surprise, and thought to himself, "Isn't he being left outside, how dare he come back?" But on the surface, he pretended to be very polite, "It turned out to be fourth uncle, sorry, no one I've seen you before, so I didn't recognize you just now."

Chao Sheng didn't mind at all, and said: "Your Majesty is taking on the important task of the country at such a young age, I don't know how it feels?" Be vigilant and only be superficially polite, "Of course it's hard work, but people will always have hard work in this world, so it doesn't matter if you're alone."

He hurriedly asked Chao Sheng again, "Why did fourth uncle dare to resist the decree and come back?" His words hit the nail on the head, making Chao Sheng dare not underestimate him.Chao Sheng pretended to be calm, and replied calmly: "It was the former king who ordered me to leave the country of Wen. Now that the king has passed away, I have the right to come back and visit my family. Does your majesty also order me to leave the country of Wen?" ?”

Su Zhongming looked at the scenery with a smile on his face, and replied: "Fourth Uncle sees Gu too ruthlessly. The past is the past. As long as Fourth Uncle is willing to reform sincerely, the door of Wen Country will still be open to Fourth Uncle." Chao Chao Sheng listened, but smiled and said nothing.Su Zhongming turned around and asked again: "Has Fourth Uncle gone to see the Queen Mother?"

"Not yet. As soon as I enter the palace, I will come to see His Majesty first." Chao Sheng replied.Su Zhongming said, "Now that you have seen Gu, how about this? Gu will take you to see the queen mother. She knows you are back, and she must really want to 'catch up' with you."

Chao Sheng looked extremely happy, and agreed: "It would be great to be accompanied by His Majesty." As soon as the words fell, he followed Su Zhongming to the Empress Dowager's bedroom.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Empress Dowager's bedroom, Su Zhongming said to the eunuch on duty, "Go and tell the Empress Dowager that Gu He and the fourth prince who just came back want to see her." The eunuch hurried to go after hearing this.Su Zhongming continued to pretend to be amiable, pretending to be polite, leading Chaosheng to slowly enter the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The eunuch hurried into a room and told Shi Chaojing, "Queen Mother, Your Majesty brought the four princes who just came back from abroad to greet the Queen Mother." Shi Chaojing was shocked when he heard this, and thought to himself, "Chao Sheng How dare you come back?" He hurried out of the house, saying that he was welcoming, but in fact only Su Zhongming was really greeted.

Shi Chaojing glanced at Chao Sheng who came in, slowly sat on the armchair, and asked with her lips open: "It's been a long time outside, why do you want to come back at this time?" Su Zhongming glanced at Chao Sheng, Chao Sheng looked Answered sincerely, "Because I was homesick." Shi Chaojing stared at him, and asked again with vigilance, "When you see Ai's family, do you still hate him?"

Chao Sheng still looked sincere, "The past is the past, besides, you are the queen mother now, there should be peace of mind between us, and any hatred has disappeared."

Shi Chaojing smiled slightly when he heard the words, but he also pretended to be polite, "Fourth Prince, since you are back, why don't you stay here? There are so many palaces in the palace, just choose one you like." Chao Sheng said directly without thinking : "I want to live in the place where my concubine mother used to live, so choose Zhui Lin Palace!"

Shi Chaojing immediately obeyed him, "Okay, the Ai family will order someone to clean it right away." Chao Sheng declined, and said, "Don't bother the queen mother, I will ask someone to clean it later." Shi Chaojing smiled, "Why be polite What?" But he obeyed him again, invited him to sit down, and ordered someone to serve tea.

In a hut in Ge Yunguo's Shenhuan Mountain Villa, two servants were whipping He Xiao's back. The Beibu is already scorching.The person in charge of the execution glanced at the burnt stick of incense, and stopped the two servants, "Okay, the time has come, untie!"

The two young men put down their whips and hurried forward to loosen the ropes tied to He Xiao's guards.He Xiao turned around, wiped the sweat off his face, and ordered: "Hey! Give me back the clothes!" The servant quickly grabbed his robe and handed it over.He Xiao put on his robe safely, the whip on his back was burning and painful, but he didn't take it to heart at all, let alone screamed for pain.

When he was about to walk out of the hut, the person who supervised the execution said to him, "Slapping you with a stick of incense is already a special kindness. Our sect already has regulations. If you dare to violate the sect rules again, you will not be so polite. Take care of yourself." He Xiao pretended to dig out his left ear with the little finger of his right hand, and walked out of the hut as if the man's words were deaf to his ears.

When Timu was away, he sneaked into his alchemy room, in order to steal the antidote for the song 'Trouble Mind and Five Chaos'. Unexpectedly, this action had already been discovered by Timu. He slapped him from behind, and then reported the matter to the leader Huang Yan.

Huang Yan single-handedly raised He Xiao, so he didn't dare to be too cruel. When handing him over to the Criminal Court, he only ordered a stick of incense to be whipped.According to common sense, this worst case would be whipped for half an hour.

He Xiao walked slowly in front of a hall, when Ti Wu suddenly appeared in front of him, waved his sleeve, threw a bottle of medicine at He Xiao, and then with his hands behind his back.He Xiao took it, looked at it, and was stunned, "Golden sore medicine?" Timu snorted, and said, "You dare to steal medicine from me, you are so brave! If it wasn't for the sake of the head, I would I'm not happy to give it to you!"

He Xiao accepted the medicine bottle, but he didn't show any gratitude to him, he just asked indifferently: "I just ask you, is there any antidote for 'Trouble Heart and Five Chaos'?" With a voice, "So you want to steal this strange poisonous antidote! A whip-shaped stick of incense is too cheap for you!"

"Is there any?" He Xiao didn't want to listen to his nonsense, so he asked again.Timu said coldly, "Give up! 'Trouble Heart and Five Chaos' is a miraculous grain poison that I have devoted more than [-] years to research, and there is no cure! The lord of Qingluan City is just an experiment. It's just a product."

He Xiao stared at him and gritted his teeth, pointed at his nose, and said, "You old lunatic! Even if he is an enemy, he is only a boy, why are you so cruel to him!" Hearing his scolding, Timu immediately Furious, he cursed back: "How dare you call me an old lunatic?! You brat! Have you forgotten that the existence of Mufeng Society is to fight against Qingluan City! I did this not because of Mufeng Society, but also because of Mu Fengshe. What did Fengshe do?"

He Xiao turned his face away and snorted.Timu was still furious, cursing non-stop, "The lord of Qingluan City, he deserves to die, it doesn't matter if he dies sooner or later, what's wrong if I give him my strange poison for a try! So what if he's young? Blame him for being the lord of Qingluan City! You brat wants to steal the antidote for him, but there is no way!"

Knowing that there is no antidote for 'Troublesome Mind and Five Chaos', He Xiao didn't want to listen to his swearing anymore, so he turned around and left Timu swearing endlessly.Seeing him leaving, Ti Wu couldn't swallow the bad breath, looked at his back, and murmured viciously to himself, "Stinky boy... let me catch you next time, I will definitely give you a hard time!"

He Xiao walked aimlessly and walked into the long corridor. He kept the bottle of golden sore medicine in his sleeve and didn't use it.In the distance, a whimpering sound came, and He Xiao involuntarily changed his course and walked towards the source of the sound.In one part of the corridor, there was a curled up figure. He Xiao walked towards him, but when he got closer, he realized that it was a 13-year-old rumor.

He sat beside Fengwen, and asked: "It's broad daylight, why are you hiding here crying?" Fengwen kept rubbing his eyes and crying, without looking up.He stared at his pitiful appearance for a long time, and for a moment he had a kind thought, and couldn't help raising his hand, patting his head lightly.

Feng Wen still didn't speak, and was still crying, He Xiao comforted him for a while, but it didn't work, and he didn't know what to do.After he stopped, he planned to leave, but inadvertently, his eyes fell on the hem of Feng Wen's robe, and there was a small spot of bright red on it, which made him stare at it for a while.

The moment he reacted, he suddenly realized, and stared at Fengwen who was still crying in astonishment. After a long, long time, he took out the bottle of golden sore medicine from his sleeve and handed it to Fengwen, "Here, take it and use it." Fengwen cried While looking back at the medicine bottle in his hand, he finally opened his lips and said, "No."

He Xiao pulled out the stopper, smelled the smell of the medicine, dipped a little more, wiped the test medicine on his back lightly, put the stopper back into the mouth of the bottle, and said to Feng Wen, "This is the golden sore specially made by the poisonous old man. It doesn’t hurt after rubbing it on.” Feng Wen put down his hands and glanced at the medicine bottle again, his eyes were already swollen from crying, and his face was full of tears of hatred.

"Thank you... Young Master Zi..." He took the medicine bottle with slightly trembling hands, thanked He Xiao, put it in his arms, and asked him suspiciously, "Young Master Zi, don't you need it?" Xiao put on a safe and sound appearance, and lied: "I'm not injured, what do you do with it!" Turned around and left.

When he walked out of the long corridor and was about to turn right, his eyes caught a flashing black shadow, and he blurted out indifferently: "Okay, Xuanning! I've already spotted you, why don't you still?" What are you hiding from? That woman asked you to watch me again?" The man in black jumped down from the roof again, and replied respectfully: "No, it's just..."

He Xiao didn't want to listen to his explanation, snorted, strode forward, and left a word to the man in black, "You were cultivated by her, so you will naturally obey her orders, but I was with her in the Mufeng Club." The status is the same, don't forget it!"

The man in black straightened up, jumped up, and disappeared again with a swoosh.In the blink of an eye, he had already reached Shangyuan Hexiang's place.Shangyuan He Xiang was taking a nap, when he heard the knock on the door, he woke up immediately, got up, grabbed a robe, and asked as he put it on, "What's the matter?"

The man in black stood outside the closed door, and replied: "The 'interesting thing' you want is here." Upon hearing this, Shangyuan Hexiang immediately became interested, "Oh? Come in." Black The man in clothes immediately slid in and stood in front of Shangyuan Hexiang. Shangyuan Hexiang sat on the chair with Erlang's legs crossed, and said to him, "What's so interesting?"

"As you ordered, my subordinates will be watching him early in the morning." The man in black replied, and then told Shangyuan Hexiang the whole process of the matter. After speaking, he added, "However, he still found my whereabouts."

After hearing this, Shangyuan He Xiang gave an order, "Xuan Ning, don't watch him in Shenrao Villa from now on, be careful if you annoy him in the future, you won't be able to get away with it! When he gets angry, take the head of the house to him!" You, you're done."

The man in black said respectfully, "Yes, this subordinate understands." After explaining the matter, he was about to step back, so he said, "There is no order, so this subordinate will leave." Shangyuan He Xiang was a little thirsty at this moment, While pouring tea for herself, she agreed to him, "Well, you can retreat." The man in black retreated and closed the door for her.
