Chapter 175 Live and die together?

When they arrived at the hunting ground, it was already getting dark, and the carriages from the palace hadn't arrived yet. Apart from the officials and their wives and children, there were only officers and soldiers on the siege.

By the time the emperor and others drove up, it was already Shen Shizheng.As Mrs. Hou thought, the emperor did not intend to hunt at night, and said to stay in the palace at Changjing Mountain first, and let the cavalry and infantry enter the paddock before dawn tomorrow before hunting.

Night.

A ghostly figure quietly shuttled through the night and sneaked into the palace where the emperor lived.

Jiang Xian was wearing a neat night gown, and her black narrow sleeves made her exposed hands white and cold.

In fact, Jiang Sheng guessed right, Jiang Xian came to Changjing Mountain because of something.

But "she" has something to do, not "them".

Some time ago, the Secret Pavilion found out that the piece that Jiang Xian had been looking for might be related to how they went back, the last time it came out was about 20 years ago.

It was a piece of jade, which was originally inlaid on the scepter of the former national teacher of Great Xiao.

Da Xiao used to have a national teacher, but the first emperor was obsessed with the way of longevity, and died suddenly because of this, so the first thing he did after he ascended the throne today was to dismiss the national teacher and demote him to a commoner.

It may be because he was used to the glory and wealth, and the national teacher died on the streets of the capital within a few days after he was demoted to a commoner.

After the death of the national teacher, the scepter was not taken back by the emperor.The jade on the scepter was carried by the current emperor for a few days, and he seemed to like it very much.

Later, I don't know whether it was missing or was put away by the emperor, but no one has seen it.

As for the reason, it's not that the Secret Pavilion has not found out, but there are all kinds of reasons... I don't know which one is true and which one is false.

One of them is that there was a forbidden love-hate relationship between the emperor and the national teacher. Later, the national teacher and the emperor turned against each other, and the emperor wanted to put the national teacher to death because of love and hatred.

But the national teacher did not rest in peace when he died, and cast spells to make his grievances always surround the emperor, so the emperor was in shock all day long and couldn't sleep at night.

A Taoist priest suggested that if the piece of jade on the national teacher's scepter was removed and carried with him for a few days, the curse could be broken.

After finding out that it was invalid, the Taoist said that he would put the copper furnace with jade stones in the southwest corner of the dormitory every night to ward off evil spirits, and he would be able to sleep well without dreams at night.

The emperor had no choice but to do it again, and it turned out to be really good. From then on, he placed the jade in the southwest corner every night, every day.

Jiang Xian choked when he heard that.

It can be said that this turned out to be the most likely one.

And it is said that the emperor never stayed with his concubines, because he wanted to keep this secret—either the concubines who were flopped bathed and dressed, and went to sleep in the Xinuang Pavilion of the Hall of Mental Cultivation; or the emperor stayed with the concubines for a while and then left.

Even the queen.

The language of the spy from the Secret Pavilion was too sincere when he came to report. After all, he was one of his subordinates, so Jiang Xian began to be suspicious.

Well, just check it out—what if the process is wrong and the result is right?

Jiang Xian originally wanted his subordinates to break in to find out the truth, but the guards in the forbidden area were so heavily guarded that even Ling Yue couldn't get in.Jiang Xian tried, but also couldn't get in.

And this spring hunt may be an opportunity.

The reason why I didn't tell my sister was because I was afraid that she would be disappointed or worried.

When the last candlestick in the palace was extinguished, it was about the end of Haishi.All the palace people withdrew, leaving only a few guards.

The lighting candlesticks were blown out, and the moonlight on the 29th was not bright. The night was dark and dark, and the surroundings were silent.

Suddenly Jiang Xian felt someone put a hand on his shoulder, and his heart skipped a beat. He immediately grabbed the man's arm and turned it back, only to hear the sound of deliberately lowering the volume.

"wait wait wait--"

The man said in a low voice: "Miss Jiang, no matter what we say now, we live and die together, and you are too ruthless."

Hearing a familiar voice, Jiang Xian loosened his hands slightly: "You can live together, but you don't need to die together, thank you."

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Huaijing smiled, "We are grasshoppers on the same rope, we don't want to be born in the same year, the same month, the same day, we just want to die in the same year and the same month."

If he can die in the same year, the same month and the same day, he will die well.

Jiang Xian said: "If you want to die, you die yourself, don't implicate me."

"If you want to die with all your heart and release the news that you pretend to be disabled, the emperor will not allow you to return to the capital from Changjing Mountain."

Jiang Xian's voice was light and ethereal, not only in volume, but also in tone.

The corners of Xiao Huaijing's eyes and brows were stained with helplessness: "Are you still angry?"

Ever since Jiang Xian learned that his legs were fine, his eyes were not eyes, and his nose was not his nose.

And it's been a long time.

But it's not a temper tantrum, because Jiang Xian is still very separated whenever there is something, and their plan is proceeding smoothly as scheduled.It's just that Jiang Xian will never see him unless necessary.

If he lost his temper...he would be happy instead.

Xiao Huaijing felt aggrieved: "Then you didn't ask."

Jiang Xian stared at the side, and suddenly his eyes froze.

"Don't be noisy."

Xiao Huaijing shut up obediently when he heard this.

Jiang Xian didn't speak or act for a long time, until Xiao Huaijing couldn't help but speak again, Jiang Xian didn't move.

But he didn't say hello and walked forward.

Xiao Huaijing quickly followed.

The night watchman in front had been yawning repeatedly, but now he was completely asleep. He slept soundly, and even slept a little strangely.

When Xiao Huaijing saw Jiang Xian on the outskirts of the hunting ground during the day, he felt something was wrong. Jiang Xian must have something serious to do when he came to Changjing Mountain.

The dark and windy moonlight is the most suitable for doing things.

Xiao Huaijing came to try his luck, but he didn't expect his luck to be quite good. He saw a figure here just before the candlestick in the palace was extinguished, and he guessed it should be Jiang Xian.

It's just that I didn't see what Jiang Xian did to these night watchmen.

Jiang Xian passed by the vigil and entered inside, his footsteps were very light, and his figure was ghostly, as if floating past.

Xiao Huaijing knew that Jiang Xian's skills were not like ordinary people, but it was even more extraordinary that he could stay by the emperor's side.

Xiao Huaijing was about to remind Jiang Xian that it was impossible for the emperor to be surrounded by these few ordinary palace people who didn't even have kung fu to keep watch at night to ensure safety.

But Jiang Xian stopped by the cotton curtain beside a wall inside, paused for a while, and then came out at the fastest speed.

After staying away from the emperor's bedroom in the palace, Jiang Xian opened his mouth to reply to Xiao Huaijing's words just now: "Do you have any ideas about that position? I am not interested or concerned. I will do what I promised you. That's it. King Yan usually keeps a distance from me."

She was indeed neither interested nor cared, but because Xiao Huaijing never mentioned sitting on the dragon chair himself in what Xiao Huaijing told her at the beginning.

Even Xiao Huaijing said that he has a disability, and the disabled cannot inherit the rule.

Suddenly learned from Wen Hui that this made her feel like being used by someone.

And she picked up Xiao Huaijing not long after she wore it, and he pretended to be pitiful all day long, cheating on eating and drinking, and couldn't drive him away.

But firstly, they take what they need and use each other, which is normal; secondly, Xiao Huaijing cheated on food and drink, but he also helped her a lot, and the two offset each other.

That's why Jiang Xian will not be shaken by what they said earlier.

It's just that partners can't be regarded as friends. She hopes that she and Xiao Huaijing will not have anything other than interests involved.

Jiang Xian left quickly.

Xiao Huaijing chased her for a while before giving up, looking at her back and sighing helplessly.

She doesn't seem to have anything special in her eyes.
