Chapter 60
The Emperor is mad.
This is the conclusion reached after a day's careful observation. Since Tian Qi didn't come back yesterday and the people sent by the Emperor to investigate came back to report that Tian Qi is likely to leave the city, the Emperor has some mad symptoms. His face is flat, his face is calm and his eyes are gloomy. Although he doesn't say a word, his whole body seems to be shrouded with a kind of gloomy breath that you can't see but feel. It's like a life-changing from under the nine springs.
This expression, this temperament, combined with the occasional gnashing of teeth at that time, has a very soul-stirring and life-killing effect. The Emperor of the world has become the king of hell. Who can bear it? The people in front of the imperial court are very observant. At this time, they are careful to breathe, for fear that one of them will make the Emperor unhappy and lose his life.
Although Sheng Anhuai has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, at this time he was a bit irresistible. The main reason is that the Emperor is so depressed and does not explode. It is like a gunpowder barrel exposed in the sun. It may come at any time. It makes people feel insecure.
At night, the Emperor's symptoms worsened, the specific performance is insomnia. This can be seen the next day when Sheng Anhuai called him up to the court. Although the Emperor didn't sleep all night, his expression was dark, but his eyes were brighter and more evil, especially as it was attached by dirty things like Huang Daxian and White Fox Fairy. Fortunately, the Emperor did not talk nonsense. If he talked nonsense, Sheng Anhuai would go to the Taiji Hospital to find Wang Taiyi. It is said that the new Tai Yi had a special treatment for the mad man.
It was a bright autumn day. On a sunny day, the Qianqing palace seemed to be filled with black clouds and rain. Fortunately, the Emperor was not in a good mood. He did not allow others to serve him, only left Sheng Anhui to serve him. Everyone was relieved.
Sheng Anhuai: "well "
The Emperor has a new entertainment, that is, breaking things. This activity is usually accompanied by fierce eyes and creaking teeth. He has broken two pens, a piece of jade and a string of emerald Buddha beads. Now, he holds a small colorful teacup with half of the unfinished tea in it. With his subtle movements, it seems that the life of the small cup is hanging in a line.
Sheng Anhuai stood beside Fuchen quietly, as if he didn't exist at all, and what the Emperor saw was only a mirage. Sheng Anhuai feels very strange. How can Tian Qi run away? Is it really because of the Emperor's abnormal behavior? But Tian Qi didn't show any antipathy before. How could she suddenly run away? However, Sheng Anhui is a little lucky. Fortunately, the Emperor is not that crazy. He knows that the people sent out should keep a low profile. Otherwise, to find Tian Qi, the whole city will stir up troubles. When the Emperor plays with eunuchs, people all over the world will know. Just the saliva of the officials can wash the Emperor's face in a day.
Sheng Anhuai looked at the Emperor again. It was inevitable that he had some sympathy. The Emperor was quite poor. It was not easy to be a pervert.
Look, the Emperor is biting his teeth again.
Tian Qi ran away. Ji Heng thought. The little pervert ran away without hesitation or regret. From last night to now, Ji Heng thought about it countless times. Every time he thought about it, he was so angry that he was in pain. He was angry, disappointed, unwilling, even resentful. These emotions are intertwined and make his heartache.
How can she run? How can she give up and running away? They… Isn't that great? He likes her and she likes him too. Why does she want to run? Is it because he won't take off her clothes?
Ji Heng thought the reason was too blah, but he could not think of any other reason to make the little pervert disappear suddenly without any sign.
But anyway, she ran away. Run without a trace. Ji Heng found that he wasn't just angry. As soon as the little pervert left, he was like being dug away from the top of his heart. That's not to say how painful it is. It's empty. It's too empty that makes people panic. He always wishes he could catch the man back quickly so that he could fill the empty place. That place is left to her, belongs to her alone, she does not want to but want to go instead? No way!
Ji Heng can't stand it. Can't stand the departure of Tian Qi, can't stand the loss of her.
Also, he was very unpromising and worried. Yeah, why not worry? The little pervert is silly. What can she do if she cheated? What should she do because she looks so good and be offended by the perverts outside? She is also greedy for money. What if she encounters robbery and is reluctant to divert money?
…
Some things can't be thought about, the more you think about it, the more you think about it. In Ji Heng's mind, a lot of pictures of Tian Qi being bullied appeared in a flash. each one was cruel, so she glared with anxiety, and finally——
Click. The small teacup, the size of an egg in his hand, was crushed by him.
When the small teacup was about to die, it didn't forget to revenge the murderer. The broken porcelain pieces went into Ji Heng's palm, and the blood fell along the white inner wall, melting with the residual tea on the table.
It's amazing. Sheng Anhuai was shocked and called the doctor.
Lin Dayue is the imperial doctor, but he is not busy because the Emperor is in good health and seldom gets sick. When he came to the palace of Qianqing, he mostly came to ask for a pulse. This time, the Emperor's palm was hurt by a piece of porcelain. It's a big thing. He carefully bound up the wound for the Emperor and made a prescription on the side.
Ji Heng is bored to see Taiyi prescribe a prescription. He sees Lin Dayue write "Tian Qi" on the paper.
Ji Heng: "get out. "
Lin Dayue: "…”
Lin Taiyi thinks that Tian Qi's suggestion is right. The Emperor needs to treat his brain. Tian Qi once hinted that the Emperor's nerves would be abnormal occasionally. He didn't believe it. Now it seems she is right just don't know if it's too late
Lin Dayue carried the small medicine chest out of the Qingqing Palace with a grievance and asked Wang Meng to discuss the countermeasures. His apprentice is very evil, and he doesn't know what it is. As a eunuch, his medical skills are so brilliant. Lin Dayue thought that if all the goods were in the eunuch, then the eunuch could be dissolved.
However, it is the little apprentice's character that makes a strong contrast with his medical skills. The more Lin Dayue thought the eunuch should have this kind of goods so that people all over the world can have peace of mind.
Lin Taiyi went back to Taiji hospital in a complicated way and didn't mention it. And in the Qianqing palace, Ji Heng chased away the doctor, but he was still in a bad mood. Just in time, a group of people came back. He sent out several groups of people in total. Those with better martial arts went out of the city to catch up with people. The rest stayed in the capital to check the specific whereabouts of Tian Qi yesterday.
From last night to now, Ji Heng's spirit has been in a state of extreme excitement but not too rational. His mind seems to be wrapped in silk, which makes him always around some of the most deadly things. He can't walk out and think carefully. Now he was hurt in his hand. Instead, the sharp pain made him relax a little. He was no longer paranoid and tense. He calmly listened to people's replies one by one.
She went to Baohe shop and talked business with the store manager.
After eating pancakes, sour cakes, rolling donkeys and drinking sour plum soup.
She went to Gongyuan.
Then he disappeared, appeared at the gate of the city, and went out of the city covered her face. Recently, the capital has not strictly examined any suspicious people, so the defenders only think that she has destroyed her face and didn't let her take off her veil.
Besides, she didn't go to see any special people.
Now that he has a clear mind, Ji Heng calmly listens to their statements and ponders them carefully, he finds out some doubts, so he asks, "what kind of business did he go to Baohe shop to talk about? Shopping or selling? Where is the money? "
"replying to the Emperor, Tian gonggong went to collect something. The money was padded by herself. She put it in the Baohe shop, and Weichen took it. "Said the man, with a Shoushan stone seal on his sleeve and hands on it.
Sheng Anhuai takes the seal to Ji Heng. Ji Heng takes a look at it and asks, "how much did she pay for it?"
"Back to the Emperor, there were fifty-two. she also told people that her money had been stolen by bad people, only this much remained. "
Ji Heng ignores the latter sentence. He began to doubt from here. A person, especially a greedy person, who wants to leave, must find a way to gather all her cash, but Tian Qi goes the other way, buying antiques with the little money left, and putting them in Baohe shop. What does that mean?
It means that Tian Qi didn't plan to leave at all!
This idea made Ji Heng a little excited. Maybe Tian Qi didn't take the initiative to leave the city. No, she should not have left the city at all. The one who left the city must not be him, or she would not wear a veil!
That is to say, the little pervert is likely to be forced to go somewhere else. she is kidnapped!
Thinking of this, Ji Heng's heart just put down again, he forcibly suppressed his undulating mood, and asked, "What is she doing in Gongyuan?"
"It's to send the third son of Zheng Shoufu's family and the son of Lord Tang to the rural examination room. "
Ji Heng nodded and almost forgot this. The little pervert is the so-called "four princes in the capital".
However, at the gate of Gongyuan is the last time that Tian Qi appears in the public's sight, so Gongyuan should be a key place. There are three of the four princes in the capital. What about the other one?
"Is Ning Wang going to see them in person? "
"Back to the Emperor, Prince Ning didn't show up. "Although they didn't ask directly if Lord Ning is present, they can't ask when they cross-examine.
A Zheng is very idle. Didn't he always have some friendship with Zheng Shaofeng and Tang Tianyuan? A few days ago, Tang Ruoling also instructed people to play a memorial to help him talk. This time, the four young men in the capital are missing one, which is not right. The most reasonable explanation is that Ji Zheng wanted to take Tian Qi away, but he was afraid of being doubted, so he avoided appearing on the same occasion as her. However, this kind of behavior is easy to arouse suspicion.
Ji Heng had a score in his mind. His face calmed down, not as scary as before. Sheng Anhuai looked at it with ease and let it go. The Emperor finally figured it out.
"I see. Go down first. Let the people out of the city come back, no need to chase. "It wasn't Tian Qi who went out at all”.
Somebody's taking orders. Ji Heng said to Sheng Anhuai, "immediately tell the Ning Wang to come to see me. "
* * *
Ji Zheng didn't expect the Emperor to find him so soon.
However, he firmly believed that the Emperor's brother only doubted him and had no evidence. No matter how skeptical, as long as there is no evidence, he can do nothing.
Ji Zheng entered the palace at ease.
When Ji Heng saw Ji Zheng, he didn't say a word of nonsense. He asked directly, "where is she?"
Ji Zheng pretends to be stupid calmly. "Who does Emperor brother mean? "
"you know who it is. Where did you hide her? Is it in your palace or somewhere else? Your wings are hard, and your ability is not small. All the people in front of me, you dare to rob. "
"Emperor brother, I am wrong. Please make it clear, so that I can know what I have been charged with. "
Ji Heng took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. "I'll ask again, where is Tian Qi? "
Ji Zheng said with a smile, "isn't Tian Qi your favorite eunuch? How can you ask me when your person is gone? "
He bit the word "like" so hard that Ji Heng frowned. Seeing Ji Zheng's indifference, he didn't worry about Tian Qi's disappearance at all. If it had nothing to do with him at this time, Ji Heng would not believe it.
Ji Heng was helpless. "Ah Zheng, what are you suffering from? "
"I can't understand what Emperor brother said. "
"You like Tian Qi, don't you? "Ji Heng asked.
Ji Zheng sneers, "if I return this you, Emperor brother you also like her right? "
Ji Heng was silent.
Ji Zheng said again, "I think what about the justice when the Emperor taught his brother not to go down the crooked road. It is a joke to look at what the Emperor did. Today, this brother is really curious. Emperor Brother, what do your thoughts while playing with the eunuch, aren't you disgusting? Aren’t you ashamed? Aren't you afraid that the ancestors of the Ji family looked at you in heaven? "
"Ah Zheng, shut up. "Hearing Ji Zheng's words, Ji Heng was more and more excited. But he only frowned and didn't see much anger.
"Why? Emperor brother, are you guilty? It's hard for you to set an example for your younger brother when you say so and do so. "
"I have a son. Do you have one? "
"… "
"Do you have a group of women in your Wangfu? "
"… "
Ji Heng sneers, "what kind of position do you think you are on now to say these words to me? You're just lying to yourself. You say that I have to set an example. I have set an example. If you don't learn, you will choose the bad one. Is it me who has set an example? Or are you not learning well at all? I just like this little eunuch. As my younger brother, I will let you go. Are you my brother or my enemy? "
"My brother is a good Emperor. "
"Take care of yourself first. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking all day. You like Tian Qi, but Tian Qi never liked you. What do you mean by buying and selling land to abduct people? Besides, if you don't even marry a Concubine and have no heirs, and you just think about this kind of thing. If you have no filial piety, you will be the worst. Who is sorry for the ancestors? ”
Ji Zheng lowered his head, turned his eyes around, and suddenly said, "what the Emperor said is reasonable. No matter what I do, I will marry the Concubine first. It's better to have a housekeeper. "
"You are turning fast, but you are not hopeless. "
"It's just that it's too hard to think about the marriage relationship between men and women. I didn't find my favorite girl for the moment. Please don't worry about it, my brother. As long as I have a word from my brother, if I meet the girl I love in the future, I will ask her to marry me no matter what her family background and talent are. "
"Naturally. " Ji Heng only said that this was Ji Zheng's strategy to weakening his guard, and he didn't think much about it. He didn't care about it now. "Now tell me, where is Tian Qi?"
Well, it's come back again. Ji Zheng had to play dumb.
Ji Heng is suddenly a little impatient. He came down to Ji Zheng and looked down on his brother. Ji Zheng doesn't look at his brother, his eyes down. His expression is natural and calm. He doesn't feel nervous or unnatural after being exposed.
Ji Heng grabbed Ji Zheng's collar and said coldly, "ah Zheng, you are my brother. I don't want to lose our brother because of a slave. What do you say? "
Ji Zheng continued to make no progress. "The words of the Emperor are extremely true, but it's all up to the Emperor to decide, what you do, this brother will continue."
Ji Heng grabs Ji Zheng's collar and glances at a red thread around his neck. Ji Heng felt a little familiar for some reason. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled hard. The thin silk thread was immediately torn. A light yellow silk bag was carried out by him.
Ji Zheng rushed to grab it. "Give it back to me! "
However, although he made a quick move, he was late. Ji Heng had already held the small bag in his hand and looked at it with his eyes. He was familiar with it. He also had this talisman, which was exactly the talisman that Tian Qi asked from Sanqing temple that day.
A talisman, which she used to please two people. Ji Heng was so angry that he asked, "Is this what she gave you? "
"Ask clearly. "Ji Zheng said that he wants to grab again.
However, Ji Heng took a few steps back with his back and pulled away from Ji Zheng. "Don't come here. "
Ji Zheng knew that he couldn't do it, so he stopped, looked at Ji Heng with a straight face, and said coldly, "as the son of heaven, the ninth five-year Supreme Master, robbed from others. The personal virtue of the Emperor's brother amazed this younger brother. "
Ji Heng tightly clutched the little talisman, hoping to turn it into powder. It seems that Tian Qi gives Ji Zheng the talisman. In this way, He doesn't know whether the little pervert was forced to go to out the palace or walked in. Thinking of it, his heart was suffering like a fire.
"Emperor brother, it's just a little talisman. Why do you have to work so hard? "
Ji Heng took a slow breath, biting his teeth, and finally suppressed his anger. He looked at Ji Zheng calmly and said, "ah Zheng, I have forgotten to remind you of one thing. When your mother died, the empress mother meant to send her away to be buried. But I think that the royal face should always take into account the death person. So, I buried her the imperial mausoleum. After all, she was a woman who fascinated father Emperor before her death. So she buried a little closer to the Emperor mausoleum. "
The deceased imperial concubine Guitai is Ji Zheng's mother. Ji Zheng was only 12 years old when she died. At that time, Ji Zheng could not do everything, and it was all based on the decision of the queen and the emperor. He suddenly watched Ji Heng alertly, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, I can bring back what I give to you. Do you understand? "
Ji Zheng unconsciously shook his head. "I don't believe it. Although you are the Emperor, you can't deal with the concubines of the father Emperor at your will. Otherwise, you will be scolded by people all over the world. "
"Ah Zheng, don't use father Emperor to oppress me. I don't want to eat that." Ji Heng said with a smile and added, "moreover, I don't need to do it myself, as long as others do it, I don't stop it. "
There is an Empress Dowager who standing behind the Emperor. No matter how noble the Empress Dowager is, her mother is a noble concubine at best. If Empress Dowager wants to deal with her. Let alone wait. She was able to take away the title and move her tomb.
Ji Heng is a person with clear love and hate. He also dislikes the imperial concubine. The reason why he protects her is naturally for the good reputation of their mother and son. The other reason is that he wants to hold the younger brother well in the future. Who knows how he will grow up in the future. No, it's for now.
Ji Zheng heard Ji Heng say this, understood his intention, and could not rest still. "Emperor brother is clever. When you buried my mother concubine, wouldn't it be for this purpose today? "
"You think I want to force you? You are too stubborn. "
"For the sake of a eunuch, you threatened the Emperor's concubines, your father's concubines. "
"You don't need to say that. I'll give you half a day to think about it. I want to see her tonight. "
Ji Zheng bowed his head and didn't answer. After a while, he asked, "if Emperor brother is so concerned about a eunuch, Are you not afraid of the empress dowager to know? "
Although Ji Heng was silent on his face, he clenched his fist unconsciously. He replied without expression, " If the Empress Dowager knows about it. the most vulnerable one is Tian Qi. If you can see her suffer, just tell the Empress Dowager. "
Ji Zheng had nothing to say. Although he was unwilling in his heart, he had to say, "I'll leave first. "
"Go on, don't forget, I'll see her tonight. Moreover, "Ji Heng squinted, though looking at him in the same direction, his eyes were somewhat condescending." I want to see you personally send her back. "
