Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, Young Master Sheng has been imprisoned in this side hall for more than two months. At this time, there was a noise outside the house.
Mu Sheng opened the door and wanted to go out to see what was going on, but as soon as he opened the door, Yang Liu was standing at the door.
Yang Liu blocked the door and said: "I have a decree, Mr. Sheng, you can't go out casually. If you need anything, just ask me."
Mu Sheng said: "I understand, Eunuch Yang, what happened outside?"
Yang Liu said helplessly: "Hey, Cui Yan and Cui Xiangguo led more than a dozen officials from other dynasties to block the palace gate and clamor to see you. Your Majesty is currently in seclusion. How can you let them disturb your Majesty's Qing Dynasty?"
"I see……"
Mu Sheng closed the door and went back to the house. He felt something in his heart. It seemed that the emperor had not shown his face in the past six months, and there was no news from Taiji Palace. This was an unprecedented situation. It was estimated that the prince and the others were a little uneasy. I can't stand it anymore and want to test the reality in Tai Chi Palace...
Taiji Palace, outside the east gate, the Prime Minister Cui Yan on the right. He is about seventy years old and has white beard and hair. He has a lean body but looks very energetic. Cui Yan and a dozen officials stood at the gate of the palace to meet with Lu Liang, the chief minister of the inner court. treat.
Cui Yan's tone was very polite, and he raised his hands and said: "Manager Lu, Your Majesty has not shown up for more than half a year. My colleagues and I have something to discuss with His Majesty. Could you please make it easier for Manager Lu to inform you on your behalf?"
Lu Liang also spoke in a gentle tone and said: "Your Majesty is practicing in seclusion these days. Before your retreat, Your Majesty has asked Mr. Huo to handle government affairs. If you have any matters, just leave them directly to Mr. Huo of the Xuanzheng Yuan. Your Majesty will be with you soon after a few days." After you leave the customs, you can go back without worries."
Cui Yan said politely: "Okay! I won't disturb His Majesty's Qing Dynasty."
After Lu Liang walked away, an official next to Cui Yan came up and said, "Cui Xiangguo, do you think what Manager Lu said is true?"
Cui Yan's eyes flashed and he said: "It's hard to judge the truth, but judging from the recent edict issued by the Xuanzheng Yuan, it is basically in accordance with His Majesty's wishes."
The official next to him thought for a long time and said: "Master Xiangguo, your Majesty has not shown up for so long. Is it possible that your Majesty is sick?"
Cui Xiangguo pondered for a long time and said in a serious tone: "I don't dare to act casually. Your Majesty has not shown his face for several months in the past and has not been in court. Forget it, you should go back and wait for the good news of His Majesty's release from confinement."
Another official next to Cui Yan suddenly said something in a hesitant tone: "Maybe it's not certain that your majesty has really mastered the magic of immortality."
Cui Yan's face changed when he heard this, and he scolded: "What bullshit immortality magic? You are just getting your salary from the imperial court, and yet you believe in this magician with strange powers and chaos. You don't even think about how many princes in ancient and modern times, both at home and abroad, believe in this superstition." The art of immortality? What is the final outcome? Have any of you ever heard of that idiot who practiced this magic and gained immortality? If he could really live forever, he would still be under the control of the Yu Dynasty. How could our Jin Dynasty easily achieve it? His brain was kicked by a donkey. Even if you don’t believe it, you won’t believe in this heretic magic of immortality.”
After hearing Cui Yan's angry rant, all the officials' expressions changed drastically and they remained silent. After Cui Yan finished his rant, he saw the reactions of the ministers and suddenly realized that this was a great disrespect to the emperor. To put it bluntly, it meant criticizing Sang and Huai. , I almost pointed at my nose and cursed in front of my face...
Isn’t the current emperor superstitious about the art of immortality? What do you mean, Cui Yan? Is Your Majesty a fool who has his head kicked by a donkey? If this is spread to the emperor's ears by someone who is interested, Lao Cui, you should stop doing it as soon as possible and go home to take care of yourself. Maybe your majesty will be furious and move away.
Cui Yan was also very angry for a while. He had actually been quite dissatisfied with His Majesty for favoring these alchemists, and he had also listened to slanderous rumors and tried to cultivate immortality. The words "old man, stupid" were considered to be a compliment to him.
When he went out, Cui Yan had to make amends for the water that was thrown out. After all, these officials were all promoted by himself, so they would not be able to complain behind their backs.
Cui Yan calmed down the anger in his heart and said: "Well... His Majesty is still a saintly and wise king today, but he was deceived by people like Zhang Daoling and became superstitious about the art of immortality. In order to prevent your Majesty's holy name from being stained, we still We should write more letters to impeach these wandering sorcerers, and don’t let these evil heretics disrupt the country’s affairs.”
When all the officials heard this, their expressions softened a little, and they all nodded in praise of Cui Xiangguo's speech. However, the words were like this. No one dared to write a letter. In the early years, the ministers who wrote letters to advise were either exiled or went to see The King of Hell is here, and they don’t want to get into trouble by writing a letter. If the emperor wants to become an immortal, let him go. It’s best to become an immortal now, so that the prince can be enthroned as soon as possible. They can also give way and the chickens and dogs can be promoted...
After a few days, Mu Shengxian was extremely bored and began to wonder again. It has been such a long time, has the emperor not recovered yet? Are Zhang Daoling and Ran Di reliable?
Of course he hoped that the emperor could survive this incident safely. He was also waiting for the house arrest to end soon so that he could take his wives and concubines away. At present, it seemed that he had to find a way to sneak out of the palace and inform Muinaqi and the others. They are safe and sound, no one can stop him if he leaves alone, otherwise he would really be sorry for his old monster-level cultivation.
After making up his mind, he looked around and saw that the sky outside the palace was getting darker. His figure gradually disappeared into the void. He was about to bypass the guards outside the door and sneak away from here. Suddenly, a void barrier in front blocked his way. .
Mu Sheng showed his facial features and felt it carefully. He shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then returned to the room. Sure enough, Tai Chi Palace had already made all preparations. Knowing that he was a monk, they set up an invisible barrier around the hall. This kind of barrier only works for monks and is ignored for ordinary people. Judging from the technique, it should be the work of an old monster from the Four Phases Returning to One Realm. With his current level of cultivation, it is not difficult to break the barrier. What is difficult is to break it quietly without alerting the old monster. Realm, as long as he takes action, the old monster will know it immediately, and then the emperor will also know it. It is difficult to predict what will happen next.
Who is the one? Mu Sheng guessed in his mind for a while. He thought of the silver-haired beauty, the patriarch of the Sanmu Clan? She should be the only one in this palace who has this ability, right?
Forget it, that’s it! Just wait patiently, maybe there will be a good result.
The next morning, Mu Sheng stood up and looked at the clouds in the sky. He walked around the room several times with his hands behind his back. There was still no news from the inner palace, and he could not leave the door. He was so bored that he almost went crazy.
After being under house arrest for so long, Mu Sheng couldn't help but miss his lovely wife and concubines at home. Which of them should he want to come here to accompany him? If you ask the general manager to send a message, it shouldn't be a big problem to take your family members into the palace to accompany you!
Mu Sheng thought again, forget it, let's not let them come over. Knowing what bad things will happen here, it's better to be patient for a while.
Mu Sheng simply took out the chessboard, held the black and white chess pieces, and played against himself to relieve his boredom.
At this time, Yang Liu reported outside the house: "Master Sheng, I have something to ask for."
"come in!"
Yang Liu opened the door and walked in, followed by a palace maid.
Yang Liu pointed at the maid with a smile on his face and said: "Young master, you must be a little depressed after staying here for a long time, right? I took the initiative to bring you a wonderful person to serve you. "
Mu Sheng sat upright suddenly. Of course he understood what Yang Liu meant. Did he really give him a pillow for sleepiness?
Mu Sheng said calmly: "Eunuch Yang, isn't this good? Although this is the outer palace and there are not many rules like the inner palace, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to send women from the inner palace to me without permission?"
Yang Liu secretly laughed and said: "Master, she is just a lowly palace maid. When I saw that she was somewhat pretty, I thought that the master would be bored here, so I sent her to relieve him." To relieve my boredom, I heard that it may take some time for Your Majesty to leave seclusion, and I’m afraid the Young Master will have to stay for some more days.”
Yang Liu turned around and kicked the palace maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a cold voice: "You bitch, what are you doing standing still? Why don't you go and pay your respects to the young master?"
The palace maid stood up cautiously, knelt down to Young Master Sheng, and said, "My servant Yu'er, I came here to accompany Young Master Sheng."
Mu Sheng's ruthless eyes scanned the palace maid's clothes up and down in an instant, hmm! Her figure is really amazing, and she can compete with Zi Lan's mature energy, but the palace maid lowered her head and couldn't see clearly her appearance.
Mu Sheng said: "Eunuch Yang, how can you be so rude to a beautiful lady?"
Yang Liu quickly apologized and said with a smile: "Young Master taught me a lesson."
Mu Sheng looked at the woman in front of him. Since she had already been sent here, let's see what she looked like. It was not easy to refute Yang Liu's kindness. After all, he was now looking at him on behalf of the emperor. The county magistrate It's better to take care of it now.
Mu Sheng asked: "Hong'er, right? Raise your head and let me take a closer look."
Hearing this, Yu'er slowly raised her concubine. After seeing her true appearance, Mu Sheng's heart seemed to be hit by something, and his heartbeat seemed to slow down by half a beat.
I saw this girl's face as soft as a baby, eyes as bright as stars, ice-cold skin, and a charming smile. She really has the appearance of a flower shy of the moon!
strangeness? When did such a stunning palace maid appear in Tai Chi Palace? He had come here often before, but he had never seen such a beautiful palace maid, and he couldn't help but be stunned for a while.
Yang Liu saw that Young Master Sheng was dumbfounded when he saw the girl's appearance. He chuckled secretly and reminded: "Young Master? ~ Young Master? Young Master? Are you satisfied with it? Or will my servant change it for you?"
It wasn't until Yang Liu waved his hand again and again in front of Mu Sheng that he reacted and waved his hands repeatedly: "Satisfied, very satisfied. There's no need to change, it's just her. Eunuch Yang is really thoughtful."
Yang Liu chuckled and said, "It's vulgar and vulgar, how dare I send it to you?"
Mu Sheng nodded repeatedly and said: "Beautiful lady! She is truly one of the gods and immortals. This woman should only be found in the royal family, not in the human world."
Mu Sheng casually took out all the gold leaves he carried from his arms, stuffed them all into Yang Liu and sent him out.
When Yang Liu saw that he had the money, he smiled even more: "Thank you, Master, for the reward. I will resign."
When Yang Liu saw that Young Master Sheng saw this girl looking like a pig, he smiled, turned around, closed the door and left...
Mu Sheng immediately stood up, walked two or three steps in front of the palace maid Yu'er, carefully helped her up, and asked: "Your name is Yu'er, right? How can a girl with such a beauty work as a maid in the palace?"
Yu'er lowered her head shyly and replied: "To tell you what the young master is saying, this slave is from a poor family, so he was bought into the county governor's house as a maid. Later, when the county governor saw that the slave was still pretty, he took her as his concubine. The county governor died of illness in two years, and the family was in ruins, so my mistress took the initiative and sent me to the palace to work as a handyman, in order to find a way to survive."
Mu Sheng was filled with emotion after hearing this, and couldn't help but feel pity in his heart. This woman also had a miserable background. Let me, with my kindness, save your body and soul.
Fortunately, the emperor didn't see her, otherwise she would have had little interaction with him because of her appearance.
Mu Sheng saw that her jade hands were as delicate as green onions, and she didn't look like a handyman. He couldn't help but wonder: "Yu'er, your hands are so soft, don't you think you are a handyman in the palace?"
Yu'er leaned down and said cautiously: "To tell you the story, you may not know the rules in this palace. The slaves in the palace usually have a better relationship with the female official in charge, so she specially selected some women's red and embroidered ones. The work is done by the slaves, so the slaves’ hands don’t look like they are working as a handyman.”
After hearing this, Mu Sheng's suspicion disappeared, he picked up the beauty and went directly to the couch.
For some reason, when he first saw Yu'er with lowered eyebrows and lowered head, looking so charming and pitiful, he couldn't hold back the lust in his heart and just wanted to eat her now...
