I draw doujinshi in ancient times

Chapter 45 Jade Pendant

Ever since he met Fu Hao in Tingyu Tower that day, Cheng Cheng has been on guard against any accident in the mansion, and his main concern is not his own safety but Fu Xun's.

Fu Xun was fully equipped with all kinds of guards and secret guards, so he was not afraid of [-], just in case.

But Fu Xun looked careless, as if he wasn't worried at all, anyway, the palace can be arranged by him, sometimes Cheng Cheng really wants to tell him to be careful about Fu Hao's snacks, but he thinks that things that haven't happened are better left alone. Go scare yourself and make Fu Xun worry too.

And recently I feel that Fu Xun is very busy, sometimes I can't see him for a day, probably because of Fu Hao's affairs. After all, Fu Hao's position in the court has been rising all the way, and the emperor likes to add military merits. Many people want to catch up Fu Hao's SF Express ship.

Fu Xun speaks lightly in the court and is attacked by many people who want to curry favor with Fu Hao. Cheng Cheng is powerless. He knows that these are the plots that the protagonist must go through. The plot is irreversible, and today is also a key plot point in a book.

When Cheng Cheng and Fu Xun went to the palace together in a carriage, the uneasiness in his heart became deeper and deeper. He looked at the brick-red high wall that was getting closer and closer. He got off the carriage and the eunuchs and maids led them to the banquet. It was evening, and the sky was half dark, but the palace was brightly lit, as if it couldn't hide a little dirt.

Cheng Cheng lowered his head, his left eyelid twitched uncontrollably, his heart seemed to have turned into a black hole to accommodate uneasy emotions.

Fu Xun also noticed Cheng Cheng's strangeness, took his hand and pressed it lightly: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Cheng shook his head and said nothing.

The system said in his mind: Host, please don't interfere with the plot tonight, and you don't want to make life and death of people around you suffer because of your own reasons, right?

A blatant, naked threat.

The first semblance of Cheng Cheng's heart was cut off by the system: I don't know.

Tonight's plot is Fu Xun's discovery of the secret of his life experience and the secret behind the death of the former empress, which became the fuse of blackening. Cheng Cheng knew that he could not stop this plot, and this is the necessary point for Fu Xun to grow up. , in this cannibalistic palace and Fu Hao's constant suppression, he hoped that Fu Xun could grow up as soon as possible.

He hoped that Fu Xun could ascend to the throne, no one would dare to bully him, and he would be humiliated for half his life. He didn't want to be killed by an unknown person in the finale. After he finished all the tasks and found the murderer behind the scenes, he could complete the plot tasks as a cannon fodder villain. Retire after success.

And the plot point of going includes that he wants to push people off the deep cliff, and the final ending is probably tortured to death.

The two walked slowly under the leadership of the eunuch. Fu Xun lowered his head and pressed Cheng Cheng's face, asking, "What are you thinking?"

Cheng Cheng was thinking about his own tragic ending in the book, and was taken aback by Fu Xun's sudden approach. Although his heart was not calm, his expression was not the slightest bit, his body was a little stiff, and he put on his usual smile.

Pushing Fu Xun's big head, he reminded in a low voice, "Don't think about anything, don't get tired of it."

There were so many eunuchs and maids watching, Fu Xun didn't know how to restrain himself, and he was really getting tired of crooked recently. It's fine to stick to the house all day long, but there are so many eyes outside. Cheng Cheng really couldn't stand the situation.

"When you get to the banquet, sit down properly. Father has something to discuss with me. I'll come out to you as soon as I'm done. Don't run around." Fu Xun whispered in his ear.

Cheng Cheng looked at the face of the person in front of him who was talking about his father, and there was a faint smile in his eyes. He knew that after years of disfavor and indifference, he suddenly showed signs of concern. Fu Xun, he... actually longs for father's love.

The real purpose of the emperor looking for Fu Xun is for a jade pendant left by Fu Xun's mother, and this jade pendant is a token left by the emperor of Wanxian Kingdom. The emperor of Xian Kingdom has always liked the former queen and was unhappy.

Seeing Fu Xun's joyful expression, Cheng Cheng couldn't utter a single word he wanted to say: "Okay, I see."

Forget it, everything went with the flow, and now he saw the joy that Fu Xun couldn't hide in his eyes, and his heart was filled with pain, so he turned his head and looked at the other side to talk to Xiao Yu who had been following him all along. He really missed Fu Xun's joy can be kept forever.

Seeing Cheng Cheng turn his head away, Fu Xun's smile disappeared immediately. The joyful expression just now seemed to have disappeared in an instant. His eyes suppressed the deep gloom, and he looked coldly at the winding palace ahead.

He pressed the corners of his mouth impatiently, he was really... a disgusting old emperor.

When Cheng Cheng arrived at the banquet, Fu Xun had already been called away by the emperor. The hall was singing and dancing, and all the ministers and princes were toasting around a person under the throne. He caught sight of Zhu Taqing who was accompanying Fu Hao at a glance. , the two looked at each other in the air, and she turned her head to look at the other side first.

Cheng Cheng also looked away, and sat down on the seat that had been arranged.

This is a banquet specially held for Fu Hao. It is a banquet to celebrate the victory and envoys from the enemy country to persuade him to show his status in the kingdom of heaven. It is extremely boring.But after a while, the emperor came and rewarded and praised, Cheng Cheng listened for a while, then his upper eyelids stuck to his lower eyelids, and he was sleepy.

Suddenly a few actors with painted faces appeared in the center of the banquet, singing opera lyrics, Cheng Cheng looked at Fu Hao, and sure enough, when Fu Hao saw it, his expression suddenly darkened, as if he was suppressing his anger.

The emperor held up a glass of wine in the high position, and laughed heartily: "Recently, I am tired of watching beauties dancing, and listening to music makes me feel uncomfortable, so I fell in love with opera. It is very interesting. I invite you to enjoy it with me."

The ministers at the banquet all quietly looked at Fu Hao who was sitting there. The prince had a dispute with an actor from Tingyulou. The emperor did not come here to warn the prince. The ministers were terrified. Seeing the emperor toast, they had to raise their glasses too drink.

When he looked up and saw the expression of the prince, it was the same as usual, and the ministers couldn't help but feel relieved.

Taking advantage of Fu Hao's momentary loss of focus, Zhu Taqing winked at Cheng Cheng who was in the distance.

Cheng Cheng also accepted it, told the eunuch in charge to go to the toilet and left the banquet, when he walked outside the hall, a gust of cool wind blew away all the boredom in his heart, leaving only a sense of relaxation.

But Cheng Cheng really wanted to go to the toilet, so he said to Xiao Yu who was guarding outside: "When Zhuta pours out, ask her to find a place to wait for me." After giving the order, he called an eunuch to lead him to the toilet.

He originally thought that the ancient toilets should be very close, but he didn't arrive at the location after going around all the time. He felt a bit like being played around. Cheng Cheng stopped the eunuch in front of him: "How long will it take?"

The eunuch saluted: "It's about a few hundred meters away."

Cheng Cheng had no choice but to resign himself to his fate and follow along. After walking for a while, the surrounding scenery became more and more desolate, and the location became more and more remote. The toilet in the palace is set in the cold palace?To tease him?

Cheng Cheng drew out the dagger hidden in his sleeve and pressed it against the neck of the eunuch in front, asking coldly, "Who are you?"

The eunuch laughed softly: "The one who will show you the truth." After speaking, he leaned his neck against the blade.

This person is not afraid of death.

Cheng Cheng also smiled coldly: "Don't be afraid of death, I will help you."

Scarlet blood flowed from the eunuch's neck, which looked a little strange in the dark night: "Don't you want to know the truth about this world?"

Cheng Cheng paused his hands, his eyes froze, and he took off the eunuch's hat. Without the cover of the hat, his face was completely exposed, but it was very strange. He had never seen this person before, and his tone was sharp: "Who are you?" ?”

"Come with me or," the eunuch looked up at Cheng Cheng's eyebrows and smiled with confidence, "Kill me." He already knew Cheng Cheng's choice.

Cheng Cheng paused slightly, then put down his dagger and took a step back: "Lead the way, I advise you not to play tricks, you can't beat me." He evaluated the martial arts of both sides and made sure that he was very safe.

He really wants to know the truth of this world.

Then Cheng Cheng followed the eunuch and sneaked into the cold palace. "Chu Li Garden" was still vaguely discernible on the dusty plaque, and he paused. This was the residence of the former empress, who was Fu Xun's mother. This man brought him here. What are you doing here!

The people in front seemed to see through Cheng Cheng's hesitation: "Now you still have a choice."

Cheng Cheng just laughed, and then stepped in with firm eyes.

The two entered the courtyard. Although Chuli Garden was a cold palace, it was very large. The surrounding houses were dark and the lights were dimmed. The two could only rely on the light of the moon to determine the direction. The wind swept down and made a rustling sound. Cheng Cheng felt the leaves hit The ankles were a little itchy, and when I lowered my head, I saw the fine candlelight sprinkled on the bluestone road.

"There is a secret passage here, and someone is inside." Cheng Cheng turned his head away and said in a low voice.

Why was there a secret passage in the former queen's courtyard, and who sneaked in when everyone was having a banquet?

There was a slight noise under the ground, and Cheng Cheng immediately felt his body lighten. The man took him to hide in a room not far away. The thin and weak window paper allowed him to clearly see the scene outside.

A man in a moon-white robe came out from the secret passage, his expression was indifferent, as if he was relaxing in his own courtyard, but Cheng Cheng noticed that the man's left hand was holding half of the jade pendant tightly, as if there was something wrong with it. At the beginning of the year, the jade pendant lost its former glory.

Cheng Cheng was thinking about who this man was, and the next moment his face half hidden under the night turned around, this is...

Li Chengqi!

Li Chengqi outside calmly patted the dust on his body, put the jade pendant in his arms, and left the place as if nothing had happened.

The shock in Cheng Cheng's heart was overwhelming, why did Li Chengqi sneak into the secret passage of the former empress, that half jade pendant...

The man also saw Cheng Cheng's surprised expression, and said, "That half jade pendant is a token left by the former empress. When the empress gave birth to two sons, she divided the jade pendant into two, and gave one to Fu Xun. The other one was held by the queen and hidden in this secret passage."
