Chapter 5: Official Earthquake (I)

"Yanhong, let's hide the incident in Fujian from Ribbons for the time being. She is pregnant and can't be too excited!" Zhu Yinglong thought carefully. Although he had never met this father-in-law several times and could not have a deep relationship, after all, it was his relatives who died, and the sadness in his heart was always inevitable.

"Your Majesty?" Yanhong called out softly with red eyes, as if she had something to say, but she shrank back when she reached her mouth.

"I won't go to Yongshou Palace tonight to stay overnight. Let me continue. I'm tired. I want to be alone in the Yangxin Palace tonight. You can go down and rest too!" Zhu Yinglong ordered in a low voice. Since receiving the bad news from Fujian, the fire that should be fired was also fired, and the cup that should be broken was broken, and the rest was that he should be thinking alone.

Zhu Yinglong sat with his back against the dragon chaise. Xu Yingyuan stood in front of him and served him. The only two of them were left in the hall. Except for the footsteps of the patrol of the big inner guards at the door every time, there was no other sound, and it was quiet and a little cunning.

The third day passed, and the fourth day was about to arrive. Xu Yingyuan couldn't stand any longer and kept covering his mouth and yawning. But he glanced behind him. The hand that the emperor placed on his right knee was still moving regularly, obviously still awake, and couldn't help but complain secretly. Other eunuchs envied him for serving the emperor, but he was very worried in his heart that he would not stay by the emperor's side. Although this was a glorious job, it was just not ready and too tired.

"Xu Yingyuan, what time is it going to be?" Zhu Yinglong opened his eyes and turned his eyes towards the position where Xu Yingyuan was standing. How could he not hear the yawn just now? When it was late at night, his hearing was very sensitive.

Xu Yingyuan suddenly felt excited and turned around and leaned over and replied, "Your Majesty, it's almost the fourth update!"

"Will there be an early court tomorrow?" Zhu Yinglong continued.

"Your Majesty. No!"

"That's good, that's good. I'm tired, so I'll be in Yongshou Palace." Zhu Yinglong sat up straight and said slowly.

"Your Majesty, it's so late, Concubine Gong should have rested." Xu Yingyuan replied carefully.

"Did you rest?"

"Stop." Xu Yingyuan responded quickly, but couldn't help but mutter in his heart, what's wrong with the emperor today? The reaction seemed to be much slower, which was something that had never happened before.

"Show your way!" Zhu Yinglong stood up and whispered.

"Yes!" Xu Yingyuan hesitated for a moment, but still obeyed the will. No matter when, he did not dare to question the emperor's orders.

Although the season has reached the transition from spring to summer, the temperature at night is not very high. Xu Yingyuan quietly took a black cloak and put it on Zhu Yinglong. Previously, because he ordered not to go to Yongshou Palace, Yanhong retreated Luan Jia and other guards. At this time, Zhu Yinglong and Xu Yingyuan had to walk to Yongshou Palace with their legs.

"Your Majesty, should you send a pair of guards to follow?" Xu Yingyuan reminded.

"No, this is my home, it's okay." Zhu Yinglong waved impatiently. Yongshou Palace is behind the Yangxin Palace. Is it necessary to protect such a short journey? He, the emperor, is too brave.

Xu Yingyuan walked on the left side of Zhu Yinglong with the palace lanterns, looking around nervously. Zhu Yinglong felt a little funny when he saw it. He said, "Look at your virtue, this is still in the palace where the palace is strictly prohibited. If you were outside, you would still be worried at all times!"

"Your Majesty, I am a little timid, but there are so many eunuchs and palace maids in this palace all at once. You see, there is not even a figure for such a long journey. It's so scary!" Xu Yingyuan said aggrievedly.

The copper buttons and red lacquer door of Yongshou Palace had been closed tightly, and there was no light inside. It seemed that everyone inside was asleep. Zhu Yinglong signaled Xu Yingyuan to go up and ask to open the door.

With Xu Yingyuan's hand strength, he knocked it for a long time before he heard a response inside.

"Who, I'm here to collect pickled goods so early!" A lazily voice from behind the copper button vermilion gate before he could wake up, and he also saw a ray of light shining through the gaps in the gate. Summer is coming. The sun is long during the day and the night is short, so at this time, the sky is already dark, so the underground palace maids at the door thought they were dragging a cart to collect "picked goods"? The rules in the palace are that every morning there are special eunuchs on duty to collect garbage and feces from each palace, and the washing machine also needs to collect clothes to wash, and then they send them to each palace for a day of clean water. Every day, dozens of water trucks are rushing from Yuquan Mountain to the palace in the middle of the night!

"quack--"

The Zhuqi Palace Gate was pulled open, and a palace maid was still dressed in a neat manner, but her hair was a little messy and fluffy. When she saw Xu Yingyuan's familiar face, she was stunned. What was the father-in-law next to the emperor doing when he came to Yongshou Palace at this time? Before she could ask, Zhu Yinglong had already raised his foot and walked inside.

"Oh..." The palace maid was about to stop Zhu Yinglong, the man who broke into the imperial concubine's bedroom, but Xu Yingyuan stepped forward and dragged him out: "You want to die, that's the emperor!"

The palace maid was immediately stunned and instantly drowsy was thrown to Java. She was busy with her hands and feet. Since she reached the sky with one step, she has greatly inspired the palace maids in the palace who hoped to fly up the branches and turn into phoenixes one day. Perhaps this palace maid who guards the palace gate of Yongshou Palace is one of them.

Xu Yingyuan also followed in and turned around and secretly asked the palace maid who was still tidying up her hair. He said in a pity: "Little girl movies, just your beauty. If our emperor can fall in love with you, the toad wants to eat swan meat, you!"

Zhu Yinglong, the dormitory of Concubine Gong Ye Lianyi, was naturally very familiar with him. He didn't need anyone to lead him. He pushed open the door of Ye Lianyi's dormitory and walked in. Xu Yingyuan breathed a sigh of relief and sat down at the door of the dormitory. Anyway, as long as the door was opened inside, he would know, and he would take a nap in peace.

The sleeping Ye Lianyi was like an exquisite porcelain doll, so beautiful that Zhu Yinglong felt distressed. I wonder if she could accept the blow of her family's tragic murder? And the little life in her belly was the crystallization of their love, and he didn't want them to have any mistakes.

"Li Yi, I am sorry for you. I am really useless as an emperor. I can't even protect my wife's relatives. I am sorry for you!" Zhu Yinglong sat beside Ye Lianyi's bed and apologized in his heart.

"Don't worry, Lianyi, I will definitely avenge your grandfather and his parents and family. I will kill this Zheng Zhilong with my own hands to pay tribute to the dead soul!" Zhu Yinglong sweared in his heart.

Ye Lianyi, who was sleeping, suddenly had a trace of pain flashing on her face. Her beauty frowned and her head kept shaking. She kept muttering in her mouth. Usually, this situation must be a nightmare.

"Ripple, ripples, ripples..." Zhu Yinglong exclaimed nervously.

After a while, Ye Lianyi calmed down, but two drops of crystal tears overflowed between the corners of her eyes. She slowly opened her eyes. Seeing Zhu Yinglong leaning over to stare at her, she said in surprise: "Master, why are you in my bedroom?"

"Silly girl, I should have been here last night, but I was too busy. So now I'm here, don't you blame me, right?" Zhu Yinglong pretended to be nothing, and shaved Ye Lianyi's cute Qiong Nose and smiled with a docile smile.

"No, why would you blame the emperor?" Ye Lianyi said with a charming smile on her face.

"Did you have a nightmare just now?" Zhu Yinglong couldn't help asking.

"Your Majesty. How did you know?" Ye Lianyi asked in surprise.

Zhu Yinglong reached out to wipe away the tears from Ye Lianyi's eyes and said, "I'm crying, aren't you having a nightmare?"

"No!" Ye Lianyi said stubbornly, "I just remembered my grandfather, my parents, and the emperor. After pacifying Jiangnan, they all came to Beijing to live. Do you think it's okay?"

"Okay, okay, of course!" Zhu Yinglong's face changed, with three good words and three expressions. Unfortunately, when Ye Lianyi heard the three good words Zhu Yinglong said, she happily hugged Zhu Yinglong and said gently in his ear: "I know that the emperor loves people the most!"

"Liyi, I haven't slept all night. I want to rest for a while here. OK?" Zhu Yinglong passively hugged Ye Lianyi's proud body and said slowly.

"Of course I am willing. Your Majesty, wait. I will get up and wash up before serving you." Ye Lianyi was very happy, and seemed to have completely forgotten the nightmare just now. Zhu Yinglong could see that it was not the tears shed from missing her relatives. She must have dreamed of something. Sometimes people are so strange. Things that I didn't believe in were suddenly happening to me. You can't help but not believe it. Ghosts and gods are originally Zhu Yinglong, a person who has been influenced by atheism for more than ten years, wouldn't believe it, but now he has become another person, and is still in another time and space, so he seems to have guessed that there might be such an indescribable sense between his relatives.

"No need, I like to feel like I hugging you. I just hugged you and slept for a while, okay?"

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you today? Why does it seem like you have become a different person?" Ye Lianyi asked carefully.

"No, why did I change? It's just that I've been so annoyed by the officials below these days. Look, have I been much haggard these days?" Zhu Yinglong hurriedly found a topic to hide it.

Ye Lianyi stretched out a pair of soft little hands and held Zhu Yinglong's head, looked up and down, left and right, and said with a heartache: "The emperor is indeed much haggard, and he has gorgeous hair?"

"Do I have white hair?"

"Hurry up, pull it down and let me see!" Zhu Yinglong turned around and sat over, and said with his back to Ye Lianyi.

After only a slight pain, Ye Lianyi's little hand reached in front of him, and a long white thread was sent to Zhu Yinglong's eyes. He couldn't help but sigh: "I really didn't expect that I actually had white hair!"

"Your Majesty, I..." Zhu Yinglong pulled Ye Lianyi's arms and wrapped them on his chest and said, "Don't say anything, I understand that a few white hair is nothing, it's normal." In that time and space, he had much more white hair than now, so he didn't see him!

I originally wanted to sleep with Ye Lianyi for a while, but I didn't expect that in the end I would sleep comfortably with her soft thighs, and I was holding a tender little hand in my hand and not putting it tightly.
