Xiao Hei returned to the palace with the token given to him by Li Shi, who had just become the queen, only to find that it was not as fun as he thought.
I originally thought that when I came back, I would be able to wander around without any problems as before, but when I came back, I realized that he was the only exception in the palace.
Because he had not purified himself, if it were not for the sake of the former Emperor Ming, or if Li had not spoken out to the new Emperor Wu, he wanted someone.
Xiao Hei must not stay in the palace. There has been no such precedent before.
Even so, the Queen could only arrange Xiao Hei in a small courtyard behind Weiyang Palace.
Xiaohei was very depressed when he came, and watched Qingyu, the maid next to the Queen, yelling non-stop.
He said that if he had known this, it would be better to follow his brother to watch the sunset outside the desert.
Qingyu was so angry that he called him a little monk who had never seen the world.
But after entering the palace, Xiao Hei had already taken off the monk's robe and put on his favorite green shirt, and now he was regarded as the queen's companion.
Qingyu told Xiaohei that when he reaches fifteen years old, he will move out of the palace and ask the empress to grant him an official position.
Xiao Hei murmured in his heart, probably by then, he and his brother would have to leave here again.
When Emperor Wu ascended the throne for the first time, he had so much to learn that it was difficult to see the queen several times a day.
The Queen was bored in her free time, so it was a pleasure to listen to Xiao Hei reading the poems and books of the sages.
After all, after the King of Qin burned books, the poems and prose that were handed down were not as ubiquitous as they were in the Qin Dynasty.
In this way, when Xiao Hei was bored, he could only hold the bamboo sword in the garden and practice his sword skills.
In the eyes of Qingyu and the Queen, Xiao Hei was like a child, holding a bamboo sword in the garden and trying to cut off the fallen flowers in the wind.
On this day, Xiao Hei finished his meal and walked around the garden humming the children's songs Shuzi had taught him. For the next few days, he kept thinking, why did the Queen leave him behind?
Could it be that she saw through something weird?
However, Emperor Ming has obviously been buried and Emperor Wu has succeeded to the throne. Logically speaking, as a queen, you shouldn't think about what is there or not?
He believed that his brother's methods could conceal the truth, not to mention that the queen in front of him was just a mortal.
If he hadn't eaten enough of the many delicacies in the palace, he would have sneaked out long ago and headed towards the desert to beat up his brother and Sister Shuzi.
Isn't it true that the Empress is more thoughtful than Emperor Wu?
The late emperor went to Xilin Temple and never came back. When he was dying, he did not tell the truth to Emperor Wu who was about to take over. The only person who stayed with him was the young monk.
Emperor Wu could not care about it, but he did not dare to care about it with anyone.
But as the queen, Mrs. Li knew that the matter was not that simple, but no matter how much she coaxed or lied, Xiao Hei insisted that the emperor's health suddenly failed.
Even if he is beaten to death, he will not say another word.
After all, when Emperor Ming returned to the palace, he did not explain who had harmed him, nor did he promise any rewards for the young monk's future. He just passed the throne to the Duke of Lu.
He seemed to be in good spirits that night, but he gave up and returned home the next day, catching everyone off guard.
In desperation, the empress had to be more thoughtful and made a request to the newly ascended Emperor Wu to temporarily keep Xiao Shang by her side, saying that it was to protect him from being plotted by someone.
The current Emperor Wu was not yet eighteen years old, so he naturally agreed to the request of his eldest sister, such as his mother, Li.
Fortunately, Xiao Hei left the palace and came back safely.
The frightened queen then told her personal maid Qingyu to keep an eye on Xiao Hei and not to be plotted against by someone again.
Qingyu is not an ordinary palace maid, she is a little girl brought all the way from her hometown by the queen. To put it bluntly, before Li became the empress of the imperial city, Qingyu suffered a lot by following her.
Fortunately, Qingyu's talent was astonishing, and she did not disappoint Li all the way. She wanted to develop herself with the support of the palace's elixir.
In the past, she was not only responsible for the affairs of Weiyang Palace, but also for the queen's safety.
It was only after the new emperor ascended the throne that the queen asked Qingyu to hand over the chores in Weiyang Palace to other maids. Now, in addition to accompanying her, she spends more time taking care of Xiaohei's safety.
On this day, with the summer solstice approaching, Xiao Hei was thinking about the two apricot trees in the courtyard of No. 46.
When Shuzi left, she told him to pick it off if he couldn't finish it, stuff it with honey and put it away until he came back from the desert.
Just as he was about to go out, he saw Qingyu guarding the door of the small courtyard.
Qingyu, who was already in the foundation-building state, became furious when she saw Xiao Hei's appearance. She thought to herself that she was following the Queen in good order, but she was sent to follow you, a little monk.
"Xiao Hei, where are you going?" Fifteen-year-old Qingyu shouted loudly with her eyes widened.
"Sister Qingyu, I want to go out of the palace to pick apricots."
When Xiao Hei saw that it was sapphire, his eyes rolled around in a circle, thinking whether he should trick this guy out too, as it would be faster if there was one more person.
After that, he had to go to the market to see if there was any honey.
"Picking apricots? Isn't there any in the palace? You are not allowed to leave the palace until I buy two baskets for you." Qingyu said in her heart, how can I have time to accompany you out of the palace to play?
"No, I promised my sister that I would go home and pick it."
How could Xiao Hei blame her? Even if the Queen came, she would not be able to stop him from leaving the palace.
"Your home is in the Imperial City? There are also apricot trees?"
Qingyu's eyes lit up, and she thought that if she could find Xiao Hei's home, she would be able to understand Xiao Hei's life experience, and maybe she could solve the current trouble for her.
"Not many, there are two, but it's enough for me to eat."
As he talked, he walked out. If he didn't go out, he was afraid that he would not be able to return to the palace even if he was busy until Shenshi. He didn't want the Queen to miss him.
Qingyu glanced at Xiao Hei in surprise, thought for a moment and replied, "Okay, I'll walk with you for a while."
Xiao Hei thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, "For the sake of keeping you company, I'll buy you a drink."
The two of them left the palace. It was still early, and Xiao Hei didn't call for a carriage, but wanted to stroll all the way back to No. 47.
Qingyu didn't expect that Xiao Hei would rather walk than ride in a carriage, so she couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Hei, do you have no money? I do."
That means, go back quickly and call a carriage quickly.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hei shook his head and said with a smile: "The weather is nice today. I want to walk home. It's not far. I'll be there in a few alleys. It's very close."
It's not that far from the palace to Jinguanfang, and it's only a short journey from Jinguanfang to No. 47.
After not visiting the Imperial City for a long time, Xiao Hei didn't know what the name of Jinguanfang back then had been changed.
He just returned home once and remembered the shortest way. He was so happy that he wanted to walk it again.
When Qingyu saw that Xiaohei refused to ride in the carriage, she could only follow behind with a look of displeasure on her face. She walked through the streets and alleys and saw all the bustling scenery, and felt itchy in her heart.
Today Xiao Hei is wearing a black short shirt. This is his favorite clothing. It is convenient for making tea with the master or practicing swordsmanship.
This was also bought on the day Li Xiuyuan took him and Shuzi shopping. In Xiao Hei's words, it was not easy to get ink stains on his clothes even when he was wearing them for writing.
The same goes for Qingyu. Ever since she entered the palace with Mrs. Li, she has not worn the clothes provided by the palace. Today, even if she went out in a hurry, she only wore a blue silk skirt.
The two of them walked in tandem, just like two siblings who were about to go home after shopping.
"Sister Qingyu, hurry up. Just turn two more alleys and you'll be home..."
Before Xiao Heihua could say anything, he heard a "whoosh" sound from behind! "Be careful!" Qingyu scolded, pulling Xiao Hei and ducking behind the big tree on the street. If she hadn't reacted as cleverly as possible, they would have been injured by this hidden arrow.
All I saw was swish swish! After three arrows, three iron arrows hit the bluestone floor where the two men had just walked, making a tinkling sound.
"Walk!"
Xiao Hei felt the danger coming from behind and didn't want to fight with anyone, so he had no choice but to hold Qing Yu's hand and run forward.
In his opinion, as long as the two of them sneak into No. 47, these guys will be seeking death if they follow.
After all, my brother's magic circle is not vegetarian.
At present, on No. 47, apart from Xiao Hei and his brother, only Sister Shuzi can come and go freely. How can Xiao Hei be afraid of these guys who are plotting against him.
However, Xiao Hei obviously made a wrong calculation.
Since there is danger behind us, how can we avoid the encirclement in front?
Whoosh whoosh! Three more arrows were fired, but they came from the corner street not far in front of the two of them. The sapphire clothes waved, knocking two iron arrows down at their feet.
However, no matter how fast her hands and feet were, she could not block the third cold arrow that was coming towards her.
A trace of blood splashed onto Xiao Hei's face, but it was Qingyu's left arm that was injured by the third cold arrow. His sleeve was immediately torn, and a little blood dripped down.
What's more, the impact of the iron arrow pulled Qingyu back three feet, and it was Xiao Hei who stretched out his hand ten times to catch her and prevent her from falling to the ground.
"Sister Qingyu, be careful!"
Xiao Hei held Qing Yu up, but saw eight men in black on the street corner in front of him. When he released his spiritual consciousness, he found that four people were chasing them further behind them.
"Don't move behind this tree, I'll chop them down!"
Seeing the crisis suddenly coming, Qingyu didn't bother to bandage the wound. She endured the pain in her arm and flew towards the four people behind her like a bolt of lightning!
Xiao Hei looked at her back and sighed. Seeing that there was no way to hide in No. 47, he thought that he had to kill the eight men in black in front of him first!
Transformed into a black smoke, Xiao Hei silently took out his bamboo sword, thinking to himself, even if I can't kill you, I will set a fire to burn you all to death!
He wanted to fight quickly, and he couldn't let Qingyu see him doing it.
Xiao Hei, who was running, had already seen the disdainful looks of eight men in black. One of the men in black even laughed: "Oh my god, guess what I saw!"
"Oh my god! I actually saw a bamboo sword!"
"That guy is going to stab me with a bamboo sword! Should I be afraid?"
The two men in black held the long knives in their hands expressionlessly and slashed at the running Xiao Hei!
Xiao Hei didn't even look at the sword in front of him. He only saw the bamboo sword in his hand turning into a ray of light, and in an instant it bypassed the first sword that hit him.
Then the sword light suddenly converged like a ghost, flashed in front of the second man in black, and then disappeared.
Time seemed to stop at this moment. The bamboo sword in Xiao Hei's hand just flashed and disappeared without a trace, just as the first man in black who missed him shouted.
He had already kicked the second man in black in the chest and flew back like lightning.
The bamboo sword in his hand missed the blade of the long knife. At this moment, Xiao Hei regarded the man in black who was slashing at him with the long knife as a snowflake in front of his wife's door.
Think of it as a petal in the courtyard of No. 47.
The bamboo sword slashed the snow again with a subtle edge, and a sword energy flashed in front of the man in black. Then the first man in black, like the second man in black, covered his neck and said quietly Speechless!
Two clanging sounds were heard, and the long knives in the hands of the two men in black fell to the ground, keeping their hands tightly covering their necks.
Blood slowly spread on the bluestone floor!
