Don't help me, I can sit up by myself

Sometimes I feel that Shi Jing is very clever.

Sometimes I feel that Shi Jing has nothing to do with cleverness.

"Journey to the West" is very interesting, and Shi Jing was very happy to watch it.

The crowd is like a tide, constantly rolling in.

Before I finished reading "Journey to the West", I saw a ten-meter-high flower shed set up in an open space. On the flower shed, there was a man wearing a big woolen open coat. He dipped the flower stick in his hand into high-temperature iron juice. When sprinkled on the roof of the shed, iron flowers bloomed for a while, reaching a height of more than ten meters. The iron flowers more than ten meters high were spectacular, like stars falling into the world, flickering bright and dark, which was breathtaking to watch.

Shi Jing was as happy as a child: "Du Jiyan, look, the iron flowers are brighter than fireworks. You can't see this in the palace."

Yes, the Lantern Festival in the palace is probably just setting off fireworks, not as lively as the shows in the city.

"It would be great if I could never return to the palace for the rest of my life." Shi Jing said longingly: "Du Jiyan, do you think so?"

The emperor was nearby, and the sister-in-law was obviously eavesdropping on their conversation.

Du Jiyan could only say: "Actually, maybe there are some good things in the palace as well."

"Then tell me, what's good in the palace?"

this.

Thinking about it with fingers, I really didn't expect the benefits of being in the palace for a while. The competition in the harem is fierce, and if you are not careful, your head will be in danger. It is really difficult to live in fear. With the system, she can cheat anytime and anywhere. You have to be careful about dikes, not to mention other ordinary sisters who don’t have a system.

"There are many good places in the palace." The emperor spoke again in a high voice: "Isn't the emperor good?"

"There are more little wives than iron flowers." Shi Jing curled his lips.

emperor

Iron flowers rose into the sky, the sky suddenly turned white, and the emperor's ears turned red.

"Does Eunuch Du think so too?" The emperor turned around.

It was not easy for the emperor to leave the palace.

In the Youshi period, he and the empress offered sacrifices to the ancestral temple together. In the Xushi period, they went to visit the Empress Dowager and ate glutinous rice balls and watched fireworks with the concubines in the harem. I met the three auxiliary ministers at Haishi, and the golden bell of Taihe Palace had already rung ten times.

All the concubines in the harem knew that the emperor would not accompany Du Jiyan out of the palace to enjoy the scenery, and he could not go back on his word. In desperation, the emperor asked Gao Rang to find Mammy's clothes and comb his hair into a rough bun. Wearing a turban, he was about to leave the palace. The queen took him to the palace gate and said that he was sending the maid out to buy some rouge and gouache. She also had a waist badge, so the Gyeonggi guards let him go.

Because of the secret guards, it was easy for the emperor to find Du Jiyan.

I thought that if I couldn't accompany her to travel around the capital during the Lantern Festival, she would be very disappointed or even distraught. Who would have thought that she and Shi Jing were eating and drinking, licking candied haws and watching the show, which was even more handsome than him, the emperor.

While watching acrobatics, Du Changzai was very generous and gave him a reward of twenty taels of silver. He was really rich. While watching the Peking Opera, Shi Jing and I were cracking melon seeds and discussing the plot. If I hadn't been between them, I'm afraid they would have plotted against the thin-skinned and tender Tang Monk on the stage.

As a man, a majestic king of a country, in order to accompany her, forget it, she doesn't seem to need the emperor to accompany her.

Of course Du Jiyan knew that the old sister-in-law in front of him was the emperor.

Not to mention the smell of avocado, not to mention the fact that the old sister-in-law is wearing the clothes of a nun in the palace, which old sister-in-law is not holding the husband's child to watch the fireworks at this time, what does it mean for the emperor's old sister-in-law to just rub against her.

Besides the emperor's handsome appearance, the tender skin and tender flesh, and the sloppy and rough makeup techniques, she could tell that the emperor was pretending to be a man even if she closed her eyes.

Du Jiyan directly gave the emperor a blessing.

Shi Jing took her arm directly: "Did she step on your foot?"

"Ahem—" The emperor raised his head.

The iron flowers lit up again, and the iron flowers more than ten meters high illuminated almost everyone's face.

Shi Jing felt that this old sister-in-law looked a little familiar. Then look at the deep and clean face and the long black eyebrows. Who else could he be if he wasn't the emperor?

"Emperor. Emperor."

"Cough cough."

Shi Jing realized that the emperor was dressed like this. He obviously didn't want to disturb the crowd. Everyone was incognito, so how could the emperor's background be exposed.

I didn’t know how to call the emperor for a moment.

It was better for the emperor to be direct and take Du Jiyan's hand and push him to the front row to see the ironwork.

"Oh, this father-in-law has such a handsome wife." Onlookers joked.

"Don't underestimate your father-in-law. Our father-in-law in the Chen Kingdom has a high status. Let's talk about the high eunuch. He is a popular person around the emperor. Even the ladies look up to him."

I'm talking about giving in.

In order to prevent people around him from disturbing his and Du Jiyan's tour of the capital, the emperor had ordered Gao Rang and the secret guards not to follow him too close, and not to appear within at least a hundred meters.

"Look, the father-in-law brought his daughter-in-law out to see the blacksmiths. Some men even let their wives take care of seven or eight children at home. He goes out to have fun by himself. He is really not as good as a eunuch."

The emperor was a little embarrassed. The "father-in-law's wife" in the people's mouth was referring to him, right?

Du Jiyan was able to adapt to the situation: "Come, lean on me. Lean on my father-in-law's shoulder. I will buy you candied haws in a while."

The emperor blushed till his ears, so he had to pretend to be his little wife and lean on Du Jiyan's shoulder.

He was tall, so it was really embarrassing to be half squatting like this.

"Oh, this lady is very good at acting like a spoiled brat."

"This lady is actually taller than my great-grandfather. She seems to be very fertile at first sight."

The emperor's face was almost on fire. Do the people speak so freely?

The people on the side said hurriedly: "My husband is a father-in-law, and he cannot have children. If you make him angry by saying this, you will not be able to live with him."

Another iron shower was sprinkled on the roof, thousands of pear trees were blooming, and the air was filled with the smell of iron juice.

Suddenly two thugs appeared, leading a woman who looked like a madam and squeezed into the crowd. Without any explanation, they carried the emperor to the moat.

Someone robbed the emperor?

Du Jiyan's heart was in his throat.

Fortunately, the emperor had some skills and was able to break away from the two thugs and run back. Unexpectedly, he was outnumbered and caught by the thugs again. The old madam kicked the emperor in the stomach and said: "Why, the one who signed the contract to sell himself to our brothel still wants to run away." ? No one can escape from my hands."

"Is there any misunderstanding?" Shi Jing asked hurriedly.

"Is there any misunderstanding? This is her deed of prostitution." The old bustard took out the deed of prostitution from his arms. This was the first time Du Jiyan had seen a deed of prostitution from a brothel. His counterfeiting skills need to be improved, but there are still details. For example, this There was actually a photo on the deed of sale, a portrait drawn with a brush. The portrait looked a bit familiar, 70% to 80% like Du Jiyan, not even one bit like the emperor.

The old madam insisted on holding on to the emperor: "Because she was poor and had no money to bury her parents, she voluntarily sold herself to our brothel. We spent a hundred taels of silver. She took the money, buried her parents, and escaped from our brothel. If she hadn’t come out to watch the lanterns during the Lantern Festival today, we still wouldn’t be able to find her.”

What the madam said was true.

No matter how hard the emperor struggled, she carried him like a chicken.

The emperor has some martial arts skills, but the madam raised her chest and rubbed against the emperor: "Do you still want to hit me?"

Not as knowledgeable as women.

The emperor retracted his hand.

"I've never seen such a difficult person. You've spent my money and you don't want to work for me. Come on, take me back to the flower boat to pick up the guests."

Pick up guests.

Big misunderstanding.

Du Jiyan couldn't care less, as his husband was being dragged away to pick up guests, which was unprecedented.

"Let him go." Du Jiyan grabbed the madam's arm. The old bustard clamped the emperor like a crab, then grabbed Du Jiyan's arm and threw her out: "We are only arresting this woman, it has nothing to do with you as a man. I advise you to be wise, otherwise you will lose your life. Then the gain outweighs the loss.”

It's a bit strange for the madam to call Du Jiyan a man.

Shangyuanjie wandered around the city for half the night. Everyone called her father-in-law. Everyone in the capital knew the clothes of the eunuch of Chen State. Why did the old bustard call her a man?

Doesn't she know how to dress eunuchs?

The strange thing is that this madam looks like a woman, and her hands are surprisingly strong.

Du Jiyan was pushed by her and thrown three or four meters away. He felt as if he had been kicked by a cow to the pit of his heart. For a long time, there were stars in his eyes and he lay on the ground unable to get up. He only felt salty in his mouth. , and when he wiped it with his hand, his mouth started to bleed.

The system immediately flashed a red light: "The host's physical injury has been detected. There are pills for bruises in the system mall. The host can purchase them at any time."

Du Jiyan had no strength in his body and lay still.

The system light flashes more frequently: "It is detected that the host is unresponsive. Is the host dead?"

Thank you, Xiaodian.

Please check my heartbeat.

My heart almost jumped out of my mouth after being kicked.

The heartbeat of a dead person is not so fast.

Seeing that Du Jiyan was injured, the Emperor no longer cared about whether the Madam was male or female. He stepped on the Madam's leg and struck the Madam's Tianling Cover with one strike. If this palm struck, the Madam would probably be killed. I won't survive.

But the Madam didn't dodge at all. Instead, she raised her sleeves and a cloud of white mist rose up.

I don’t know what kind of trick this is, but it looks like an illusion.

The Madam tried to catch Du Jiyan, but the Emperor ran towards him, but was enveloped by the Madam's white mist. His whole body was surrounded by the white mist, and he suddenly lost all strength. He soon went limp, and he almost lost the strength to speak. .

Shi Jing was about to rush forward, but the two thugs grabbed him by the neck and threw him into the moat.

The water in the river was cold. Shi Jing was thrown into the river and choked several times.

The flower boats on the river are brightly lit, and the women on the flower boats are wearing thin gauze clothes and leaning on the boats to solicit business. It is a festival of fish and dragons dancing all night long. No one on the river is aware of what is happening on the shore.

Shi Jing couldn't swim, so he flopped in the water for a few times before sinking to the bottom.

The river water was bitingly cold, and Shi Jing felt that his body suddenly felt warm as he was sinking.

The river water in front of her seemed to become transparent. In that transparency, the place where she grew up appeared, which was the Imperial Master's Mansion. In a daze, she saw her father and mother drinking tea in the garden. She was sitting on the swing in the garden, and then Swinging higher and higher in the wind. The flowers in the garden were so beautiful layer by layer. Her father and mother looked at her tenderly, and no one said anything.

Suddenly these pictures disappeared, and there was a strange but familiar face in the bright or dark light. It was Cui Zhen.

Shi Jing's vision became increasingly blurry, and Cui Zhen disappeared in front of her again, but Cui Zhen's voice came again in her ears: "Wake up, don't close your eyes."

Shi Jing only thought that he was about to die.

Otherwise, how could he see Cui Zhen.

After slowly opening his eyes and spitting some water, he realized that the person in front of him was actually Cui Zhen.

Cui Zhen fished her out from the bottom of the river, and she lay in Cui Zhen's arms. Cui Zhen's body was covered with water, which kept dripping down.

"Save quickly. Du. Cough cough, save quickly."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to the Emperor and Du Changzai." Cui Zhen asked Shi Jing to lean on the fence, flew forward, took out the short knife in his boots, and in a few seconds, the two thugs and the madam were lying on the ground, groaning. stand up.

Cui Zhen was about to turn around to save the emperor, but the madam ran forward again, took out the hairpin from his hair, pointed it at the emperor, and was about to stab it out.

Cui Zhen stretched out his hand to block the emperor's face. The old bustard's hairpin directly stabbed Cui Zhen's palm. Cui Zhen pulled out the hairpin and stabbed the old bustard between his eyebrows. The old bustard died instantly.

"Catch them alive." The emperor shouted.

Perhaps there was too much movement, and the secret guards had gathered around. Gao Rang also ran over panting, supported the emperor and frowned in pain: "Your Majesty, I have made you suffer, kill those bad guys."

"Listen to you or listen to me."

Gao Rang hurriedly knelt down and said, "Of course I listen to the emperor."

"Catch them alive."

"The emperor has a decree to capture the dead alive." Gao Rang shouted.

The secret guards protect the safety of the emperor. There has never been any mistakes in these years. Only this time, the emperor did not allow the secret guards to follow too close, so the secret guards did not dare to disobey. However, if they went a little further away, the emperor was almost in danger. .

If anything happens to the emperor, none of the hundred secret guards will survive.

After all, the secret guard's rule is that if the emperor is killed, the secret guard will kill him.

The emperor gave an order, and the secret guard climbed up to the treetops of the house with a slight movement, and set up a dragnet on the underwater boat.

The old bustard is dead, leaving only two thugs.

Of course, the two thugs were no match for the secret guard. After a few moves, they couldn't resist. Seeing that they were about to be caught by the secret guard, the two thugs gritted their teeth hard, and a few drops of black blood flowed from the corners of their mouths, and they died.

"Back to the emperor, they were already prepared and had poison in their mouths. Now they have committed suicide by taking the poison."

"check."

"Yes." The secret guard came and went without a trace.

The capital has returned to calm.

"Cui Zhen, how is your hand?" The emperor was very concerned.

"My hand is fine. Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. It's just a minor injury." Cui Zhen's hand was still bleeding. He has experienced hundreds of battles in frontier defense, and this minor injury is really nothing to worry about.

Shi Jing took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wrapped it for Cui Zhen himself.

Cui Zhen was frightened and wanted to refuse several times, but the emperor persuaded him: "Send it."

"I dare not violate the rules. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"Pedantry." Shi Jing rubbed his handkerchief.

"Thank you for your kindness. I retire." Cui Zhen rarely returned to the capital. He originally wanted to go out to see the night sky of the capital, but unexpectedly saw the emperor and Du Jiyan from a distance.

With the professionalism developed in the military camp, Cui Zhen became more vigilant when he saw that the secret guards were so far away from the emperor and there were crowds of people.

He didn't want to but accidentally saved the emperor and others.

He didn't want to take credit, so he left after confirming the emperor's safety.

On the way back, Du Jiyan was still frightened.

Only now do I know the benefits of those secret guards.

The carriage was speeding along, as fast as lightning.

Shi Jing was wet and now he was shivering in the carriage with a blanket rolled up.

Emperor: It’s a big departure.
