Peach concubine

When Xiao Jingmo hurriedly changed into the clothes and put them into the palace, he waited outside the imperial study for more than half an hour.When he was drinking the fifth cup of tea, he saw a group of people retreating from the imperial study room. The commander of the Yulin army, Wei Quan, the current first-rank prime minister, Guo Lanchu, Zuodu censor Qiyou, and even the second prince Xiao Long.

Seeing Xiao Jingmo waiting outside, everyone exchanged glances tacitly. Qi You frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but held back, but the worry in his brows couldn't be concealed.

Xiao Long walked up with a smile: "It's been a long time since I've seen Brother Mo, it's really hard to see you, you sure can't imagine how many times Father will miss you all day long when you're not around."

Xiao Jingmo smiled and said a few words of politeness, and then heard Eunuch An beside the emperor said in a shrill voice: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has announced you to go in." It happened that he didn't want to get involved with these princes, so he pleaded guilty. Step into the inner hall.

When he entered, the emperor just threw down a memorial he had finished reading. He must have been too tired, so he closed his eyes and raised his hand to rub his brows. Once the emperor was responsible for the well-being of the people in the world, if he wanted to be a good Emperor, how can the efforts behind the scenes be included in the four words of forgetting to eat and sleep?

After all, Xiao Jingmo was brought up by the emperor and was loved and loved by the emperor, so seeing the tired look on the emperor's face, he couldn't help persuading him: "Your Majesty, national affairs are important, but Your Majesty also wants to live for the common people in the world, so take good care of your dragon body."

The emperor opened his eyes, saw it was Xiao Jingmo, and heard his words of deep concern. He was slightly surprised and moved in his heart. He smiled and said, "Now the only person around me who dares to be like me is you." say."

Xiao Jingmo suddenly realized that he was impolite, so he knelt down and kowtowed to pay his respects: "Your servant sees my emperor long live."

The emperor waved his hand to let him stand up: "Come on, you monkey boy, you had no rules or distances when you were young, but when you grow up, you will do this set of rituals to ten percent, I really feel a little unaccustomed to it." .”

Speaking of childhood, even with a thick skin like Xiao Jingmo, he was a little embarrassed and shy, and whispered: "The emperor still remembers what I did when I was a child..." Then he changed the subject, and continued the previous sentence: "Actually, the imperial concubine, there are still Several cousins ​​are also concerned about the emperor's body, and don't want the emperor to work too hard."

The emperor chuckled: "They?" But there was nothing to say.After a while, he pushed the half-approved memorial to the side, walked down from the dragon chair and said, "You are right, I should also take some time to rest, Jing Mo, you rarely enter the palace, so you will accompany me A few games of chess."

Xiao Jingmo answered yes in a low voice. Seeing that the eunuchs and maids in the imperial study were dismissed completely, he had to go and get the chess pieces and set them up. Sit down.

Xiao Jingmo held the white pieces, and the emperor held the black pieces, so you and I stood up one by one, and soon the chessboard was covered with black and white pieces, each forming a position, regardless of superiority or inferiority.It's just that when you look closely, the layout of Heizi is obviously more domineering, like a big net around the head, every step of the way is aggressive and aggressive.On the contrary, it was Baizi who was on the defensive more obviously, and had a faint tendency to be besieged.

After Jian Ruolin and Xiao Jingmo separated, they walked back to Liufang Pavilion alone.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he saw that several attics of Liufang Pavilion were surrounded and guarded by heavy soldiers. He was startled, and hurried over. The person in charge was standing at the door, so anxious that he didn't know what to do.

"What's going on?" Jian Ruolin asked in a low voice.

The manager was sweating all over his head: "I don't know the little one. It was fine just now, but the adult suddenly brought people in, drove the guests out of the pavilion, and surrounded the pavilion. I don't know why. What's going on." While speaking, he pointed to the middle-aged man in the third-rank court dress sitting on the main seat in the main hall of the pavilion.

Jian Ruolin appeases the anxious steward, then walks in, and salutes the official in a neither humble nor haughty way: "My lord, Jian Ruolin, is the master of the Liufang Pavilion. My lord has brought so many officers and soldiers into the cabinet. Dare I ask you why? ?”

The official was sitting in danger, but his deputy commanded the officers and soldiers to search around in the cabinet, heard Jian Ruolin's words, raised his head slightly, and said: "I only searched according to the order, and I don't know anything else, Mr. Jian, please wait patiently. "

Jian Ruolin frowned subconsciously, but couldn't figure it out: Why would there be a decree from above to search Liufang Pavilion?Faintly felt a trace of uneasiness surfaced in my heart, as if something was about to happen uncontrollably.

Xiao Jingmo fell down and ate a sunspot guarding the gate of the emperor, and immediately opened a gap.

However, although the emperor lost a piece, he was still calm and composed. He held a black piece in his hand and slowly landed on the chessboard. The situation of Baizi being completely besieged is even more dangerous. Originally, only half of Baizi was surrounded by Heizi, but now he lost most of Heizi's country and fell into an irreparable predicament.

Xiao Jingmo thought to himself that he was too careless, he ignored the other, knowing in his heart that he was doomed, so he could only bite the bullet and continue walking.

Sure enough, at the end, Xiao Jingmo failed to break through and was besieged heavily. Gradually, more and more white pieces were lost on the chessboard. He smiled, dropped the piece between his fingers, and cupped his hands and said, "The emperor is superb at chess, and my minister has already lost."

The emperor smiled inexplicably, and put down a black chess piece that was in his hand, looked at Xiao Jingmo, shook his head and said in a slow tone: "It's not your chess skill that you lost, but your lack of ruthlessness. "

Xiao Jingmo could only smile and said: "How can a humble official compare with the emperor."

The emperor still used that deep tone to teach: "The chessboard is like a battlefield, not enough to kill decisively, but if you have too many scruples, you can't win if you don't want to be defeated. Just now you clearly have a chance to win me, but you can't bear to spend all your time laying out the game." On the contrary, let me take advantage of the opportunity." He pushed the chessboard, his eyes were heavy, and it was meaningful: "Sometimes some things must be given up, such as you just ate my black piece, and you will get something if you give it up. .I discarded a chess piece, but kept the other black pieces, and controlled the direction of the whole chess game, so the discarded chess piece is worth making the best use of it.” After finishing speaking, he paused and used a He looked at Xiao Jingmo with a very profound look: "Jing Mo, you may understand what I told you."

"Although I understand it, I really don't want to let it go. I'm a fool, how can I see it so clearly like the emperor." He replied without leaking, and then followed the king's dragon scales by the way, Xiao Jingmo obviously felt the emperor's words There is something in the words, but I can't figure it out.

Originally, when he was rushed into the palace by a hundred thousand people, he also wondered what the emperor was doing for, but after entering the imperial study, he played chess with the emperor, and did not hear the emperor talk about other matters. Entering the palace will definitely not be as simple as playing a game of chess with the emperor.

In the Liufang Pavilion, an officer and soldier held out a brocade-wrapped brocade package: "Master Zheng, I found this in the dark compartment of the study."

Jian Ruolin stared at the unfamiliar baggage in the hands of the officers and soldiers, and the uneasiness in her heart became more and more intense.

Master Zheng raised his hand, motioning for him to open the package.The officer and soldier put the bundle on the table, and opened the brocade outside, revealing a layer of bright yellow cloth cotton inside.Seeing the exposed bright yellow, Jian Ruolin already felt that the development of the situation was beyond expectations, and it would not be good. Bright yellow is a color exclusively used by emperors. Neither civilian servants nor cloth dare to use bright yellow. The color, I don't know what will be inside the package yet, but based on this alone, Jian Ruolin is a sinful bully.He watched with some doubts and anxiety as the officers and soldiers opened the bright yellow cotton cloth inside again, spread out the contents, and exposed them to the eyes of the public.

At that moment, Jian Ruolin was almost unable to stand still, she was so shocked that she couldn't answer, she could only whisper: "How could it be..."

Inside the package was a stack of letters, and...a dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon.

Hiding the dragon robe privately is tantamount to treason, not to mention that he wants to cut his life into pieces, even if he is involved, he will also implicate the nine clans, which is a heinous crime that cannot be pardoned!

Jian Ruolin's face was as white as paper, but she just pretended to be calm: "My lord, this is by no means the stuff of ordinary people, please be careful!"

"Whether it belongs to you or not, after the Dali Temple investigates, I will give you an explanation." Mr. Zheng ordered someone to put away the "criminal evidence", and then ordered: "Jian Ruolin, the master of Liufang Pavilion, has kept the dragon robe privately. The plot is wrong, and the stolen goods are found, and they are quickly locked up and handed over to Dali Temple for trial. As for the Liufang Pavilion, it will be sealed up according to the law, and all the people in the pavilion will be temporarily confined in the pavilion to wait for their punishment."

The left and right officers and soldiers stepped forward, and heavy handcuffs and shackles were placed on Jian Ruolin's slender wrists and ankles.

"Do you think I'm really a god-man? I also have people and things that I don't want to let go of, but compared to other things that are more important, I can only choose to let go of them no matter how much I like them." The emperor took a breath, Fu sighed again: "There are some things I don't want to do, but I have to do them."

Eunuch An has been waiting outside the door for a while, and when the conversation between the two came to an end, he bowed and walked in: "Your Majesty, Mr. Zheng has returned. He has been waiting outside the door for a while. Does the Emperor want to let him in?"

The emperor ordered lightly: "Since you are back, let him come in."

Xiao Jingmo sat a little unsteadily, seeing that the emperor didn't express anything, he quietly got up and stood aside.

Mr. Zheng followed Eunuch An into the room after receiving the summons. When he saw Xiao Jingmo was there, his expression seemed a little surprised, but he quickly returned to normal, and respectfully kowtowed to the emperor.

Eunuch An held a bundle and handed it to the emperor. The emperor nodded slightly, and Eunuch An opened the bundle.

Mr. Zheng leaned over and said, "This is what I found out from the Liufang Pavilion. The evidence is convincing. The owner of Liufang Pavilion, Jian Ruolin, has been taken to Dali Temple for custody as usual, waiting for questioning."

Xiao Jingmo saw that there was a bright yellow dragon robe and many letters exposed in the bundle, he was startled, and before he could think about it, he knelt down: "Your Majesty, Jian Ruolin has a very close relationship with my ministers, how dare a humble minister take the item on your neck?" Guaranteed by the head, Jian Ruolin has absolutely no intention of disobedience. There may be something wrong with this dragon robe, please order a thorough investigation by the emperor."

The emperor sat there and glanced at him. With just this one glance, Xiao Jingmo felt as if the emperor had seen through all his thoughts. Under the pressure and panic, cold sweat broke out involuntarily on his back.

"You also said that you and Jian Ruolin have a very close friendship, so don't you understand your current situation?" The emperor lowered his voice and said in a majestic manner, "You haven't entered the palace for a long time, Just stay for a few days, so I can accompany your aunt." Xiao Jingmo was still talking, but the emperor refused to comment: "What I said to you today, you should think about it yourself. When will you understand it? When will you understand it?" See you again."

As soon as these words came out, it was clear that Xiao Jingmo was going to be put under house arrest in the palace, and he also knew that, given his current relationship with Jian Ruolin, he could not escape being involved in the discovery of the treacherous dragon robe from Liufang Pavilion.Just hearing that Jian Ruolin was locked up in Dali Temple for trial, he couldn't calm down, let alone be put under house arrest for no apparent reason, so he folded his fists and knelt down eagerly, and said in a loud voice: "I beg your Majesty Think twice!" There was a bit of sternness in his tone.

The emperor walked out without looking back, and when he tried to follow him, Eunuch An stopped him.

"Your Majesty, the emperor's decision is not subject to change. This servant knows that the Emperor still loves the Majesty, so the Majesty should be at ease to obey the Emperor's orders and cultivate quietly for a few days."
