Sheng Huaijing, who was originally playing with Meng Que, met Deputy General Luo who was anxious to find someone.The two avoided the crowd as soon as they saw each other, and went to the corner to talk in a low voice with serious expressions.

Meng Que didn't want to eavesdrop, but he always focused on Sheng Huaijing, so even if he was far away, he could still vaguely distinguish a few words and know what happened——

The defense in the palace is insufficient today, His Majesty the Emperor was assassinated.

Meng Que had no concept of the emperor, but he could understand the importance of the emperor.Seeing Sheng Huaijing, who looked hard to explain but also full of guilt, he took the initiative to say, "I'll just go back by myself. If you have official business, go and do it. Don't worry."

Sheng Huaijing felt reluctant, so he took La Mengque's hand.He wanted to comfort him at first, but when the two of them intertwined their fingertips and pressed their palms together, he realized the meaning of boneless softness and icy skin.

The temperature of Meng Que's palm is relatively low, and it feels like nephrite to the touch. Compared with Sheng Huaijing's thin callused palm of a martial arts practitioner, it is as delicate as porcelain.If it wasn't for the wrong timing, Sheng Huaijing almost wanted to tease her.

The fairy-like beauty looked up at her with trust in her bright and clean eyes.Meng Que looked at Sheng Huaijing with big and clear eyes, full of trust, a little more ignorant, but even more pitiful.

The acquaintance of the two was boundless and full of friendship.

At that time, the sweetheart left everything behind and went to Beijing with him, but he was never able to accompany him.

In the heart of compensation, I made an appointment to spend the holiday with my sweetheart, but I was late due to business, and now I have to leave my sweetheart and leave first.Even because he was worried about leaking the news, he couldn't explain the reason for leaving with Meng Que in detail.

However, the sweetheart is very caring, and offered to let Sheng Huaijing go first...

Rao Sheng Huaijing has always regarded the people of Daqi and the monarchy more seriously, and felt that he should not be affected by his children's affair, and now he really felt guilty.

When Sheng Huaijing returned to the palace and rushed to the emperor's side, he was still thinking about Meng Que and did not regain his senses.

In fact, the assassin had already been taken down and handed over to special officials for interrogation.The emperor's injury was treated by an imperial physician, and it was not a fatal injury. Even the harem visited and cried.

The emperor urgently ordered Sheng Huaijing to enter the palace, purely because of a lack of sense of security, he only trusted himself, his best friend.

The injured emperor's face was a little pale, and his expression was cold and frightening. He didn't smile a little until he saw Sheng Huaijing.The emperor avoided Sheng Huaijing's salute, and ordered the palace servants to give him a chair, so he asked him why he came so late?

"I should take a rest today. I'm here with you, my family." Sheng Huaijing paused when he mentioned Meng Que's identity, but he calmed down for no reason after speaking.

He just wanted Meng Que to be his family...

The emperor was not surprised to hear this. He had known about Meng Que's existence for a long time, and he also knew that Sheng Huaijing had some thoughts in his heart about the man brought back from Lingnan. He joked: "Is it delaying your company?" You are beautiful... If Sheng Qing wants to, you might as well ask me to give you a marriage decree, so that you can be fulfilled."

Sheng Huaijing was taken aback for a moment, but he didn't immediately agree. He hesitated and said, "I haven't discussed this matter with Xiao Que yet."

The emperor did not continue to ask about this matter, but instead mentioned the joy of reading books when they were children.The emperor was not a prince when he was young, and it took a lot of struggles to gain his current power, and he could trust him, but Sheng Huaijing was the most promising among them.

Talking about the past, the time is getting late without knowing it.

Sheng Huaijing saw that the emperor was already sleepy after taking the tranquilizing medicine, but he still insisted on speaking, so he persuaded: "If your majesty is tired, go to sleep first, and I will watch over you."

"Ziwu don't want to leave." The emperor shouted Sheng Huaijing's words in a daze.

"I won't leave." Sheng Huai Jingan sat on the chair steadily, but wondered in his heart whether Meng Que went back safely.

The emperor knew that Sheng Huaijing would not leave, so he didn't speak any more, lay down peacefully, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

It rained suddenly outside the palace hall, and a gust of cool wind blew into the hall. Seeing this, Sheng Huaijing hurriedly closed the window.Just when he got up, he caught a glimpse of a strangely dressed monk outside the main hall and under the palace wall from the window.

The monk met his eyes and shook the tin stick in his hand. For no reason, his back felt chills, and he couldn't help but look sideways at the eunuch who was watching the night with him.

The eunuch sensed Sheng Huaijing's doubts, and quickly explained: "That's Master Zhongyou. He went to the palace to give a Zen lecture a while ago, and he got along very well with His Majesty, so he stayed in the palace... Someone stabbed His Majesty tonight. , the mage said that there was something evil in the palace. Don’t worry about him, the general. He is a little naughty on weekdays. He will go back after the rain is heavy..."

It also had nothing to do with Sheng Huaijing, so he let it go after listening to it, and didn't worry about it.

The emperor's assassination was naturally kept secret in order not to shake the hearts of the people.This matter should have passed like this, but for several days in a row, someone always came to risk the assassination.With the close protection of Sheng Huaijing, the emperor was never injured again.

But the martial arts of the assassins are getting higher and higher, and the number of assassins is also increasing.

Relying on their superiority in numbers, the imperial guards in the palace were able to defend against powerful enemies, but they couldn't stop assassins who appeared from nowhere.

These people were ghostly and ghostly, and their appearance time and location were irregular. The emperor was seriously suspicious and did not want other people to get close with guns.Only Sheng Huaijing, who was deeply trusted, was allowed to approach the emperor with weapons.

Sheng Huaijing guarded day and night, not only to beware of assassins who appeared at any time, but also to deal with complicated official duties. He was a mortal after all, and soon became a little mentally ill.

The assassin found the place of negligence, and cornered the emperor and Sheng Huaijing. Sheng Huaijing was in such a panic that his arms had lost strength.

Seeing the assassin swinging his knife at the emperor, Sheng Huaijing could only block the knife with his body and rushed to rescue him in desperation.

I thought it was a mortal move, but I didn't want the assassin's blade to poke Sheng Huaijing's chest, a cyan halo suddenly flashed in front of the two of them, blocking the assassin's blade.Even because of the strength of the halo, the assassin was caught off guard and shot down to the ground.

With this gap to breathe, Sheng Huaijing reacted very quickly, without thinking too much, he immediately went to fight back...

The emperor, who was guarded by Sheng Huaijing, had a stern expression at first, but when he saw the blue light on Sheng Huaijing's body, he suddenly showed a little curiosity.

Because of the angle, he could see that the blue light was coming from the sachet that Sheng Huaijing hung on his waist.Watching Sheng Huaijing fighting with the assassin, the emperor couldn't help but think back to Master Zhongyou's words.

A trace of greed flashed across the emperor's face. People in the world pursue power, money, and status. Emperors have all of these. What the emperor wants is longevity.

……

It wasn't until the assassins were executed that Sheng Huaijing knew that the emperor was fine, so he passed out in peace.

When he regained consciousness, he was still in the palace, but Deputy General Luo was guarding the bedside, and he was overjoyed to see the Lord General wake up.

Recognizing that this is Daqi's palace, Sheng Huaijing knew it was over.He looked around, wondering: "Why am I in the palace? What's wrong with Your Majesty..." As soon as he opened his mouth, Sheng Huaijing realized that his throat was hoarse, like a rag bellows.

Before Vice General Luo could answer, a clear voice sounded at the door, and he said reproachfully, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, do you have no one else in your heart besides Your Majesty?" He walked over and signaled Sheng Huaijing to drink the medicine quickly.

Sheng Huaijing was held down by Meng Que to drink the medicine, and he didn't know where the strength came from his slender arms, so he forced the tall Sheng Huaijing to be immobile. After drinking, he found time to ask: "Xiao Que, what are you doing?" Why are you in the palace?"

Before Meng Que could answer, there was another voice at the door: "It was Zhen who announced him into the palace." At the door was the emperor who had received the news that Sheng Huaijing had woken up.

The emperor looked at Sheng Huaijing and Meng Que with a smile on his face, as if he was happy to see their close relationship.

Seeing that it was the emperor entering the door, Sheng Huaijing got up and saluted after being slightly dazed, and even pulled Meng Que to salute together.

The emperor put on a benevolent look, and said with a smile: "Don't be born, Ziwu has saved my life several times, and I am too late to be grateful..."

The emperor was courteous to the virtuous and corporal, and said a lot of heartfelt words, and was moved by Sheng Huaijing again and again, so he promised the emperor to rest in the palace for a few days.

The emperor even allowed Meng Que to stay in the palace with Sheng Huaijing.

Sheng Huaijing felt that something was wrong, but after all, it was his wish to be with his sweetheart that overcame his doubts.His Majesty the left and right emperors allowed it, and this is just a trivial matter.

After Sheng Huaijing woke up and sorted his clothes, he realized that the peace talisman Meng Que had given him was gone.He told Meng Que carefully, for fear that Meng Que would be unhappy.After Meng Que found out, he was not unhappy, but gave Sheng Huaijing another safety talisman, asking him to keep close to him in the future, so as not to lose it again.

Meng Que was promised by the emperor that he could walk freely in the palace.But he was not interested in the palace, he just wanted to be with Sheng Huaijing, but Sheng Huaijing didn't want to keep him in the house, so he urged him to go around the imperial garden.

Meng Que refused several times, but Sheng Huaijing used the beauty trick.

He took Meng Que's hand and said that he wanted to see if the begonias in the imperial garden were blooming, but he was recuperating in the palace and it was not easy to run around.

Sheng Huaijing's tone was soft and gentle, and there was a begging look in his eyes, which made Meng Que's heart beat wildly.

In the end, Meng Que still couldn't hold back Sheng Huaijing, so he obediently went out, promised to help him fold a flower, and then came back to see him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he went out, he bumped into the great monk he met outside the palace that day.

When I met him on the imperial garden path, the great monk was still pointing at his tin staff, with a solemn and solemn expression.

The two stood at the intersection. After Meng Que was stunned, he came back to his senses and wanted to make way for the monk.He thought he was blocking the opponent's way.It turned out that the monk didn't move, but kept staring at himself.

The great monk stared at Meng Que for a long time, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he said in a calm voice: "The benefactor should not interfere in the fate of ordinary people."

Meng Que was startled when the great monk spoke suddenly.Realizing that the great monk might see his real body, he couldn't help laughing: "Master is exaggerating, I have the ability to change my fate."

Meng Que was not very afraid of him, he could see that the monk was just a mortal, and he knew that even if he saw something, he would not be able to hurt himself.

The great monk seemed to see Meng Que's thoughts, and smiled meaningfully: "The benefactor will definitely regret what he did today."

Meng Que felt that this person was baffled, so he turned around and left, but the great monk said behind his back: "The benefactor knows that turning back is the right thing to do, maybe there is still salvation."

Meng Que walked faster and faster, feeling very uneasy.He hurried to see Sheng Huaijing, wanting to tell him about meeting a strange monk, but he didn't expect that Sheng Huaijing was also looking for him.

"Your Majesty just sent someone to summon us to have dinner together." Sheng Huaijing helped Meng Que cut his hair, and ran all the way, but Meng Que still had a fragrance on his body, and Sheng Huaijing sniffed it immersedly one time.

His house is small and delicious.

Sheng Huaijing was handsome, he had practiced martial arts all year round and led troops, and he had the aura of a general around him, not as refined as ordinary princes and noble sons in Beijing.If it were other people, Sheng Huaijing couldn't understand their smearing, but Meng Que always had some fragrance on his body, and his eyes could easily seduce him to indulge in it.

The two talked affectionately for a while, and then followed the palace people to the emperor's banquet.

Today is a small banquet, apart from a few close friends who grew up with the emperor, there is one more person, Meng Que.

Meng Que's table was placed next to Sheng Huaijing, and the two were very close to each other. If no one else was around, they could actually share the same table.

But now, even though everyone present was aware of the relationship between Meng Que and Sheng Huaijing, the two of them were more reserved and restrained, and they both sat upright.

At the banquet, dancers accompany dancers and musicians play.

Meng Que doesn't know how to appreciate, so he can only say the words "beautiful" and "good-looking", which is really boring.It's just that he suddenly noticed the fresh sake on the small table, and after smelling it, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

It's very fragrant, and it's the kind of flavor that is full of aura.

After being in the capital for more than a month, Meng Que was much more sensitive to the spiritual energy in the place where the spiritual energy was turbid. After confirming that it was not harmful, he tasted it with a greedy thought.

It is sweet.

Meng Que's eyes lit up, it was delicious.

When Sheng Huaijing reacted, there was already a drunk and clingy kitten by his side.

Meng Que rubbed against his side, clinging to him obediently, mumbled how uncomfortable he was.

Sheng Huaijing's heart softened, and he wanted to take Meng Que out of the table first. He hugged Meng Que and wanted to leave, but he didn't want to be stopped by the guards who suddenly appeared.

The commander of the Imperial Guard held a long | gun, and behind him were soldiers equipped with bow | crossbows, blocking his way.Seeing this, Sheng Huaijing couldn't help but look back at the emperor sitting on the imperial seat. He looked at the emperor nervously, wondering if the commander of the imperial guards wanted to rebel!

But I heard the emperor say: "Zi Wu, according to the love of growing up together, I will tell you clearly today that I want to ask you for Meng Que. You think it is good."

Sheng Huaijing looked at the emperor in shock, he couldn't help hugging the drunk Meng Que tightly, and then suspected that the culprit of Meng Que's drunkenness might not be some ordinary court wine.

Sheng Huaijing wanted to say no, but his friends also persuaded him one after another, it's better to obey His Majesty, obviously he already knew about His Majesty's plan to hold a banquet.

During the stalemate between the two, the mage Zhongyou, who was hiding behind the column of imperial guards, came out and said to Sheng Huaijing, "Your Majesty is also doing this for the benefit of the benefactor, and he has never made it clear to the benefactor. General Sheng, do you know that this Meng Meng Young master, he is not a mortal, but the goblin who harms people in the mountains. He stays by the general's side for a long time, and he is afraid that he will harm the general... General Sheng, don't be obsessed with it..."
