Chapter 38 Hit the Door

In Lingyun Pavilion, the emperor was drowsy when he heard the old man's lecture, while outside Lingyun Pavilion, the servants were even more bored. The children of nobles entered the palace to accompany the servants was a common practice in all dynasties. The core and original intention of designing this system were to please the emperor, but no one had ever considered how the servants should pass the time.

They cannot be too far away, they must be on call, even if they are less than once in their lifetime, they must be prepared at all times. Of course, a boring life will be rewarded. This is the beginning of their entry into the government. As long as nothing unexpected happens, it will be a contribution. After a few years of accumulation, they can become an official and become an official. If the emperor has good luck, they can even reach the sky.

If the emperor you serve happens to be a puppet, the prospects will be much dimmer, and the endurance of endurance to endure boredom will naturally decrease a lot.

Five attendants hid under the tree behind Lingyun Pavilion, secretly rolled dice and gambling, not daring to make noises. Most of the time, they only used gestures, and there was also an attendant guarding nearby to watch the wind, guarding the ritual officer or eunuch to approach, but they never thought that the gambler climbed down from the tree, and it was the emperor himself.

There were a few dice and a piece of paper full of words scattered on the ground. There was no need to bring gold and silver when entering the palace. They all kept the accounts first and then calculated after leaving the palace.

The attendants squatted on the ground, looked up at the emperor blankly, without kneeling down or making a sound.

Han Ruzi recognized the dice and didn't see the coins. She thought these people were just playing games and didn't know that the winners and losses were at least thirty or fifty taels, and at most, they could even reach thousands of taels.

"Follow me." Han Ruzi's eyes fell on one of the attendants.

Zhang Yanghao, the grandson of the Piyuan Marquis, was stunned, glanced left and right, confirmed that the emperor was really staring at him, rushed forward, and squatted to kneeling, "Abide by the order!"

The others finally reacted and knelt down.

"Shh." Han Ruzi signaled to them, "I want to enjoy the spring scenery, you can accompany me to walk."

It is early summer and the spring scenery is no longer there, but the Imperial Garden is even more colorful and worthy of appreciation. Of course, no one believes the emperor's words, but in such boring days, adventure has an irresistible attraction.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Zhang Yanghao responded, rushing to stuff the dice and the paper for accounting into his arms, "Wait, Your Majesty, there is another person."

Zhang Yanghao got up, walked quickly to the back of a stone, reached out and patted it, and slowly stood up another servant from there. He looked at him at the age of only teenagers. Zhang Yanghao's idea was simple. Since he wanted to take risks with the emperor, everyone would have to participate together so that no one would report it later.

Lingyun Pavilion was built on a small hill. The mountain was not very high. There was a slope in front and a steep rockery rock at the back, which was not very high. There were many people in front, so naturally they could not go. Six attendants protected the emperor and climbed down from the back mountain slowly. When they arrived on the ground, they all turned red with excitement, but they felt more and more worried, thinking that it would be enough to take risks to this level. If there were more people, they would have to persuade the emperor to turn back.

Fortunately, the emperor had no more requirements. He wandered around the imperial garden and always asked for a name when he saw the novel flowers, plants and trees. Zhang Yanghao and others were gradually getting more and more relaxed.

Han Ruzi came to Lingyun Pavilion every day to take a fixed route. He roughly knew that Xianyin Pavilion was not far from here, but when he really walked, he couldn't find the way, so he asked casually: "Where is Xianyin Pavilion? I heard that it is a good place."

The youngest servant rushed to say, "I know, I will lead the way for Your Majesty."

Zhang Yanghao did not get the opportunity to lead the way, and approached the emperor and introduced: "Xianyin Pavilion is a place to listen to music. It is next to Taiye Pond. After nightfall, let the singer raft on the pool. Your Majesty opened the window in the pavilion and listened carefully. It was just an empty house during the day. It was meaningless. It would be better to go..."

"Xianyin Pavilion is close to you. After visiting, I have to go back to Lingyun Pavilion immediately."

Zhang Yanghao immediately stopped the sound.

Xianyin Pavilion is indeed very close. I took a few turns and arrived. I didn’t meet anyone on the way. I guess Zuo Ji also liked the secludedness here.

Taiye Lake is a big lake, with Xianyin Pavilion built on the shore, with doors and windows closed, as if no one was present.

Han Ruzi found that he was careless. He should have looked out the window while listening to the class, and confirmed that Zuo Ji was not going downstairs and then moved back. It was impossible to walk back. He stopped and said to the six servants: "You stay, um... Zhang Yanghao accompanied me to the Xianyin Pavilion to take a look."

The servants had no objection, and Zhang Yanghao was a little excited. He walked beside the emperor and raised his legs higher than usual.

After taking more than a dozen steps, Han Ruzi said to Zhang Yanghao: "Thank you, I will remember your contribution."

Zhang Yanghao was obviously stunned and immediately bowed and said, "I am just doing my duty, how dare I express my merits?"

The Imperial Concubine said that Zhang Yanghao gave the note of "Shang Si Roufu" to the emperor while the chaos, but seeing that his reaction seemed a little wrong, Han Ruzi wanted to understand, but changed his mind and changed his mind. Zhang Yanghao was common, and there were more opportunities in the future. The most important thing at the moment was to capture Zuo Ji's appearance.

It was very close to Xianyin Pavilion, and there was a vague laughter inside. Zhang Yanghao also heard it and whispered in surprise: "Your Majesty, there is someone inside."

"Is that so? Let's go in and take a look." Han Ruzi strode forward.

From then on, Zhang Yanghao began to feel that it was inappropriate, but he could not find a reason to persuade him. Seeing that the emperor had already walked to the door, he hurriedly followed him.

There was indeed someone in Xianyin Pavilion, and there were more than one, as if two people were making fun of each other, but the laughter was a little strange. Zhang Yanghao was older and immediately understood what was going on. His face suddenly changed, he stopped the emperor and whispered: "Your Majesty, don't go in, I'll find someone to take them down immediately."

Han Ruzi couldn't lose the opportunity to get it, and ordered: "Kick the door open."

Zhang Yanghao was stunned again, and finally came back to the scene. The emperor did not wander around, but came prepared. He accidentally got involved in a conspiracy in the palace. He was shocked and dared not stop him, and he dared not run away. His face turned pale and his body shivered.

No need to investigate anymore. Han Ruzi can already confirm that the person who stuffed the notes was not Zhang Yanghao and the imperial concubine lied, but he still wanted to rush into the Xianyin Pavilion. Even if the person inside was not Zuo Ji, he would go in and see what was going on.

"Zhang Yanghao, I ordered you to hit the door." Han Ruzi was a few years younger and was mostly short, but his tone was undeniable at this time. Even if he had only been a puppet emperor for a few months, he learned how to show his majesty.

Zhang Yanghao was just a noble servant. The secret of the palace was too far away and too obscure for him. He knew that the emperor was a puppet, but he did not dare to disobey him. He gritted his teeth and kicked him up at the door. Then he fell to the ground and hugged his legs with both hands, as if he was injured.

Han Ruzi knew that Zhang Yanghao was pretending, but did not ask. Xianyin Pavilion was not a place to live, and the door panel was not thick. Zhang Yanghao kicked the door bolt inside without using all his strength. Han Ruzi rushed in and ran into her body.

Entering the room from the sunny outdoor, it looked very dark in front of him. Before Han Ruzi could see the figure clearly, the people inside saw him first.

"Who is so bold?" It was Zuo Ji's voice, very angry, and immediately became panicked and confused, "Your Majesty... Go quickly!"

The last two words were not said to the emperor. Han Ruzi saw a figure rushing towards him, and was about to pass by and snatch the door. The evidence was about to slip away. He shouted loudly: "I recognize you!"

The figure was so scared that it staggered, and actually stopped, turned his head to look at the emperor, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, please spare me."

After meeting this, Han Ruzi really recognized it, "Liang An?"

At that time, four waiters were assigned to the emperor and the King of East China. Zhang Youcai and Tong Qing'e served the emperor, Liang An and Zhao Jinfeng served the King of East China. The King of East China had a bad temper and drove the two away within a few days. The waiters around him changed like a carousel lantern.

Han Ruzi still remembers Liang An, who is about the same age as the emperor, the King of Donghai, and is a handsome eunuch. At this time, he changed his appearance, with disheveled clothes, untied shoes, shirtless, full of fear, and tears. He looked at the emperor for a moment and knelt down.

Zuo Ji ran over, and his clothes were also not well-dressed, but he was not as frightened as the little eunuch. He had already passed the initial panic and began to calm down, "Your Majesty is not listening to the class in Lingyun Pavilion, what are you doing here?"

Han Ruzi was very puzzled. Both of them were eunuchs, so what "short things" could they do? But they didn't show any of their faces. They were thinking quickly. They wondered why Zuo Ji was not afraid, and said with their heads raised: "I came to catch the adulterer, I didn't come alone."

Zuo Ji didn't care about the previous sentence, but was startled by the next sentence. He looked outside the house and saw a servant sitting on the ground at the door, and there were several people in the distance, looking at the Xianyin Pavilion.

Zuo Ji quickly retracted his head, glanced at the little eunuch Liang An who had been scared and paralyzed, and tried to calm himself down, "What are your majesty talking about? I, I just came to Xianyin Pavilion to rest for a while and take a nap. Liang An came to serve me..."

"Do you say that in front of the Queen Mother?" Han Ruzi didn't understand what was going on here, but remembered the reminder of the Imperial Concubine that only by carrying the Queen Mother out could Zuo Ji be suppressed.

The Imperial Concubine lies, but most of the words were still true. Zuo Ji's face changed drastically when he heard this, "Empress Dowager? Empress Dowager Guan...what's business?"

"How can I know? I will ask when I pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow morning."

Zuo Ji finally understood that the emperor came here was not accidental. He couldn't fool him and knelt down all of a sudden, "Your Majesty, I... I am a slave, this time, I dare not."

Xianyin Pavilion is not a place for interrogation. It is probably the place where Lingyun Pavilion has found the emperor missing. Han Ruzi has to hurry up and say to the little eunuch lying on the ground: "Liao An goes out."

Liang An crawled out.

Han Ruzi walked a few steps into the house to prevent Zhang Yanghao from hearing it outside, and asked in a low voice: "What's the injury on the empress dowager's hand?"

Zuo Ji shivered, and the emperor mentioned the fatal problem as soon as he spoke. He was confused and lost the ability to consider the consequences. He knelt down again, "Yes, it was the late emperor scratched."

"Which late emperor?"

"Emperor Si... Your Majesty, don't investigate this matter anymore. Let it go. Your Majesty can't afford to offend the Queen Mother."

Han Ruzi still had many doubts and did not ask immediately. He had already grasped Zuo Ji's handle and had no need to press on step by step. He nodded and walked out of Xianyin Pavilion.

The little eunuch Liang An was still crawling on the road and couldn't even stand up. Zhang Yanghao held his legs and buried his head with his head down, for fear that the eunuch would recognize him.

"Let's go." Han Ruzi said loudly, becoming more and more convinced that the person who stuffed the notes could not be Zhang Yanghao.
