Walk through the Ninghe Palace, in front of the apricot hill, now is the season when the apricots are just ripe, hanging on the trees in clusters one by one, like a small lantern, beaten into golden yellow by the rain, it looks very gratifying.
Zhao Kang thought about it for a while, raised his legs and walked towards Xinggang, and when he arrived in the apricot forest, he saw that the trees were dense and difficult to walk, so he simply threw the umbrella in his hand to the ground, and walked towards the hillside with a sword in one hand and drenched in the rain.
His eyes swept through the cracks and branches of the trees, and on several occasions he seemed to think that he had seen a few white shadows, but he quickened his pace to chase them, but found that there was nothing, and here, only the wind and rain and the crumbling apricots, and occasionally a few precocious ones, which could not bear to fall to the ground in advance, and startled him into a light sweat.
After walking like a thief for a while, he suddenly stood still, his shoulders shook a few times, and he laughed out loud, "Zhao Tingyi, Zhao Tingyi, you are the king of Jin in vain, you were scared like this because of a few nonsense words from a little palace maid, if you are known by others, how can you save face." ” Thinking of this, his heart moved: the palace maid named Yunjin is the person next to the imperial sister-in-law, if she is really deceiving herself today, then what is her purpose, is there any secret hidden in it that he has not yet penetrated?
Zhao Kang has been a thoughtful person since he was a child, no matter who he is, he is wary of anyone, and he will never give eight points of charity if he can give five points of trust, on weekdays, don't say those things that have anything to do with him, even if it is something that has nothing to do with it, he will pay more attention and think a little more, for fear that someone will plan his future and harm his life.
So this time, when he saw Yun Jin falling into the water, and he couldn't find the "real murderer" she said, he began to be suspicious again, not to mention that there was a royal sister-in-law behind Yun Jin, and maybe there were deeper people involved, so after thinking about it, he couldn't help but get colder and colder in his heart, so he stood still in the wind and rain for a long time with an iron face.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa" Suddenly, there was a very light footstep behind him, as if he was walking with a suppressed voice, as if he was afraid that someone would listen to him.
Zhao Kang held his breath and condensed, and when he felt the person approaching him, he turned around sharply, and swept the long sword that had long been unsheathed towards the shadow behind him like a gust of wind, but when he heard a delicate exclamation, he suddenly retracted the blade of the sword and threw the sword on the ground.
"How could it be you?
What are you doing when you don't stay in the palace on such a rainy day?
He looked at the drenched but increasingly bewitching figure in front of him, and picked up the long sword on the ground as he said with disgust in his mouth.
Madame Hua Rui glanced at him, "King Jin hasn't come to the slave family for a long time, doesn't he want the slave family?"
” Zhao Kang stepped forward and twisted her face, "Think, how can I not want to, it's just that the situation is chaotic now, I can't spare time on weekdays, even if I go to the palace, I can only walk around in the front court, and I rarely have time to come to the palace." ” Madame Hua Rui touched his hand, and gently rubbed her fingers on the back of his hand, "King Jin is deceitful again, in the past, the emperor invited you into the palace from time to time to accompany him to eat and drink, how can you say that you are not idle?"
” Zhao Kang snorted coldly, "You also know that it was before, and now the world has changed, and the situation is not the same as before, and the emperor and I are too" Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and suddenly stared at Mrs.
Hua Rui's somewhat pale little face washed by the rain, "Madam, you say, who is more powerful between me and him?"
” When Mrs.
Hua Rui heard that he didn't even say the emperor, but only called him "him", her expression couldn't help but be a little stunned.
However, she immediately returned to her normal state and dodged into Zhao Kang's arms, "How can the slave family know about the affairs in the court, but in the slave family's dormitory, you are much more powerful than him." ” Hearing this, Zhao Kang was amused and laughed a few times, just holding her face to kiss her, but coldly saw a person lying in the thatched pavilion at the foot of Xinggang through the staggered branches and leaves, the person was dressed in exactly the same clothes as Yunjin, his eyes were closed, and he fell sideways in the pavilion, motionless.
Zhao Kang quietly pushed Mrs.
Hua Rui away and whispered, "You go first, there seems to be a palace maid there." ” Madame Blossom was frightened, thinking that their affairs had been seen by others, so she quickly tidied up her clothes, and secretly walked towards the path behind the mountain with the corner of her skirt.
However, she only took a few steps when she saw the flowers next to her move a few times, and a pointed brim appeared above the flowers, which seemed to be made of paper, but the shape was exactly the same as that of the funeral belt.
Madame Blossom was so frightened that she couldn't possess her body, but her body seemed to freeze, and she stood in place, until the thing in the flower bush slowly raised its head at her, revealing a strange face that seemed to be smiling, and she reacted with a spirit, and sat down on the ground with a limp body, screaming "help" and hiding backwards.
Zhao Kang heard his cry for help, and rushed over in three steps and two steps, and when he saw the few villains in the grass that were exactly the same as those described by Yun Jin, he was startled at first, and then his eyes widened, and he raised his sword and slashed downward, cutting the mud leaves flying in the ground, and the long grass broke into countless debris.
However, in the midst of the mess, those little white figures as thin as pieces of paper were gone, and if it weren't for what he had just seen, if it weren't for the fact that Madame Blossom was still trembling and crying beside him, he might have really taken what had just happened as a dream of his own.
"King Jin, what the hell are those things?
Why is there such a dirty thing in the backyard of the palace, under the feet of the Son of Heaven?
Madame Blossom was crying breathlessly, and her chest was slightly wheezing, which was very pitiful.
Zhao Kang didn't look at her, didn't even say a word of comfort, he walked down the hill quickly, came to the thatched pavilion, leaned over the palace maid's nose and tried it, after finding that she just fainted, and there was no worry about her life, he slowly got up, looked at the hazy scenery in the distance, frowned and shook his head, "Is there really something strange in this palace?"
But why has it been safe for so many years, but it has come up at this time?
” Thinking of this, he clenched his fists slightly: This matter is strange, and he will not be able to deal with it by himself, so he can only report it first and ask the imperial brother to pay attention. ” When Zhao Kang arrived at the Wende Palace, Zhao Zeping was accompanying the emperor to tease the birds under the eaves, and the starling with a black body saw Zhao Kang walking in wet, so he "fluttered" his wings a few times, and said in his mouth: "The King of Jin is here, the King of Jin is here, the emperor, the King of Jin is here." ”
