Bachelor

Chapter 417 Suspicion
Xiyuan, the Abode of Yuxi Palace.

There was still no wind, only one candle was lit in the abode, and before the circle of yellow light could spread, it was swallowed by the solemn black.

The whole world seemed to be covered in sticky black, dark, stuffy and hot.

Sun Dan had been standing in the room for a while, and was so hot that his vest was sweating, and there seemed to be bugs wriggling all over his body, which was very uncomfortable.Mr. Huang Jinhuang, who was waiting in the same room, stood motionless. Sun Dan had already changed his posture several times, but even so, he still felt very tired.

Huang Jin looked at Sun Dan with a sneer from time to time, with a smug look on his face.

He also secretly said in his heart: Sun Dan is still one of the leaders of Shilin, but the more solemn the occasion, the more he looks indifferent, and only he dares to do this in front of His Majesty.A companion is like a tiger, why doesn't he have any sense of awe?Hehe, that's fine, the authority is getting stronger today, and I only see obedient courtiers.If you want to act like a celebrity, your Majesty will take care of you sooner or later.

Emperor Jiajing still sat cross-legged on the futon to meditate and practice Qi. He sat for an hour, and he didn't know when he would wake up.The weather has started to heat up, and unlike the undressed robes in winter, Jiajing is wearing a thick cotton robe today, looking like a cat in winter.

The strange thing is that Sun Dan and Huang Jin are covered in hot sweat, but Jiajing's complexion is blue, but there is no drop of sweat on it.

In Sun Dan's heart, the more he looked at it, the more bored he was. Every time Jiajing met him, he always practiced Qi on the futon, with a mysterious and unpredictable posture. Isn't this a bit too pretentious?

Outside the house, lightning faintly streaked across the sky, cutting the solid black curtain piece by piece.

Suddenly, with a sound of "Hoo!", a strong wind blew, and the doors and windows of the monastery were slammed open.Amidst the sound of the wind, the curtain above Jiajing's head fluttered.

The candles were also extinguished.

The gust of wind was so strong that Sun Dan only felt that the whole Yuxi Palace trembled slightly in the sound of the wind.The wind was a bit cool, and it made his heart feel refreshed. The sultry heat just now was swept away, and he was so comfortable that he almost groaned.

The doors and windows rattled in the wind, and the eunuchs hurried up to close the doors and close the windows.

Huang Jin took a step forward, grabbed the curtain on Jiajing's head, and tied it into a ball, trying to hook it with a silver hook.But because the curtain was hung too high, Huang Jin couldn't reach it, and he was afraid of alarming the emperor.

The two eunuchs who had just closed the doors and windows hurriedly brought a small silver-headed fork over, and lifted the curtain up, just hanging it upright.

At this time, Jiajing's eyes opened suddenly: "Except for Sun Dan and Huang Jin, everyone else get out!"

"Yes." A few eunuchs opened their eyes wide in horror, stumbled open the door and went out.

Huang Jin hurriedly followed, trying to close the door.

"Don't close it." Jiajing said coldly.

"Long Live Lord..." Huang Jin froze at the door, his eyes narrowed by the wind.I just feel that there is darkness in front of me, and I can't see anything clearly.

Instead, Sun Dan straightened his body and looked up at Jiajing.He vaguely had a bad feeling that Jiajing's behavior seemed aimed at him.

However, Sun Dan was not afraid.Jiajing's temperament is very strange, the more you fear him, the more he will look down on you.But if you really want to fight him, he will punish you to death.With such a boss, you don't need to do anything, you can say whatever you want, and you can do whatever you want.Maybe he still respects you for being open-minded and not pretending to be in front of your majesty.

Jiajing's eyes were full of anger.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the coolness turned into coldness.Jiajing's thick cotton-padded jacket looked a little bloated, which showed his pale and sharp face even more: "Sun Dan, why are you back? Didn't I tell you to come back only after finishing the affairs of Tongzhou? Hehe, there is a beautiful wife at home. , my wife is also pregnant, so why are you worried?" There was an indescribable sarcasm in his voice.

The emperor's voice really contained a gun and a stick. Sun Dan glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that the sneer at the corner of Huang Jin's mouth was even stronger.

Sun Dan didn't panic, and said quietly: "If you go back to Your Majesty, the minister's affairs in Tongzhou are over. Now, there is no minister's affairs over there. No, I'm back."

Jiajing's eyes glowed green in the darkness: "The sky is above your head, Sun Dan, can't you tell the truth?"

As soon as these words were spoken, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, illuminating the room like daylight.

The wind stopped suddenly.

Huang Jinhuang hastily closed the door and lit a candle again.

Sun Dan still straightened his waist, and replied loudly: "Responding to His Majesty's words, I speak my heart, and every sentence is true. When replying in front of Your Majesty, I never think about what should be said or what should not be said, just say what I think."

Jiajing suddenly giggled and said, "It's okay, I'm back. Good answer, my mother, the empress dowager of the Ming Dynasty, will soon be forced to go back to Hubei. As soon as she leaves the capital, I will Mother and child can't be reunited, so naturally there is nothing for you in Tongzhou, so you came back. Well, good answer, it really makes people hard to find fault."

When he got excited, his pale face was so red that it was about to bleed, and sweat gushed out from his forehead: "I was originally a calm person, but today you, Sun Dan, broke my Dao heart. It's amazing, it's amazing, You are so amazing, Sun Dan. If Huang Jin hadn't told me that you sneaked back to the capital and went to Yang Shoufu's house, I would have been kept in the dark by you."

Sun Dan was startled, and only then did he understand.It turned out that his every move was under Huang Jin's surveillance.

No wonder when I went to Yang Tinghe's place just now, Yang Shoufu said that there were many Jinyiwei people outside the mansion.It must have been sent by Jiajing after Huang Jin reported to the emperor.

After all, it's no surprise that a large group of courtiers had a meeting at Nei Shoufu's place in such a late night.

Now, the emperor and Yang Ge are in conflict, and Sun Dan has a close relationship with him, so it's no wonder that the emperor doesn't hate him.

Seeing that the emperor was sweating profusely from excitement, Huang Jin hurriedly stepped forward, took a towel from the copper basin, and went to wipe Jiajing's sweat.

The emperor dragged the towel, threw it on the ground irritably, and shouted at Sun Dan: "Yang Tinghe forced my mother away on the front foot, and you, Sun Dan, ran to Yang Tinghe to report the letter on the back foot. Do you want to claim credit? Hehe, I know you, Sun Dan. I want to enter the cabinet. There are three conditions for entering the cabinet. One, Jinshi background; two, the emperor's approval; You, after a few years of experience, you will be allowed to join the cabinet, but when you are ready, you only owe Dongfeng. Hehe, now that you have followed Yang Tinghe, are you afraid that the courtiers will not recommend you? Years. You, Sun Dan, can't stand it anymore?"
