Chapter 787 I Won’t Save You This Time (3)
Mi Ershi did not continue the topic, and only said: "My brother was involved in a house search. In order to obtain evidence from a secret room, he was trapped and was seriously injured. He could not be saved."
It's an understatement, but it must be a thrilling thing for someone like Mi Shiba to fall into it.
Yan Caiyue did not ask about the affairs in the palace anymore, but talked about her future plans: "Since Uncle Fu asked you to follow me, you should stay here! There is no danger here anyway. I will leave a room in my house, and you can do whatever you want when the time comes."
"Okay!" Mi Ershi didn't say anything else, but just found another place to hide himself.
This child is probably used to hiding, so he is not used to appearing in front of people.
After washing up, Yan Caiyue fell into a deep sleep. She was too tired today, not only physically but also mentally. She thought she would never see her old friends in the palace again, but unexpectedly, people showed up one after another.
I hope that what happened before ends here!
On the other hand, Liang Song, who was actually reviewing the memorials, suffered from his old headache again.
Fu Shun was not by his side, but fortunately the person serving him was Fu Shun's apprentice Chang Xi. When he saw this situation, he took out the incense that he had prepared long ago and lit it.
But as Chang Xi saw the spice cubes in the box becoming fewer and fewer, he felt bitter and hoped that his master would come back soon.
Liang Song's biological mother was killed in front of him in his early years, so his mental state was very bad. He would suffer from intermittent headaches and even go crazy every once in a while.
At the beginning, the three of them had no money and could not buy anything good to treat Liang Song's health.
Later, it was unknown whether Xiao Qiluo found a plant from somewhere or not. After making it into an oily liquid through special means, the disease could be alleviated by massaging the head.
After Liang Song gained power, she specially found someone to use this plant as a medicine, and added various medicines to it to make a calming incense, which she would light every time Liang Song had a headache.
In the past few years, Liang Song has been very proud and his headaches have basically not occurred. However, since Xiao Qiluo's "death", the disease has started to recur.
The frequency of this phenomenon is increasing, but since Xiao Qiluo "left", this plant has disappeared.
Today's spices are still the same as before, and they are becoming less and less as they are used!
Chang Xi looked at Liang Song's frown as the spices burned out, and in addition to anxiety, there was also a hint of panic in his heart - this guy could really kill people when he got ruthless.
He took a bite, then opened the box of Concentrating Incense and carefully took out a small piece from it: "Your Majesty, how about lighting another piece!"
Liang Song didn't say anything, he just put down the pen in his hand and pressed his fingers on his temples.
But even so, the blue veins on his forehead were still throbbing slightly.
From his rapid breathing, it can be seen that Liang Song is in extreme pain at this moment.
Faced with such a situation, Chang Xi did not dare to say much. After seeing that he had not received a reply from Liang Song for a long time, he took the initiative to light the incense first. Even if he was blamed later, it was better than dying under the knife of a madman.
Thinking of this, Chang Xi's hand holding the spice block began to tremble a little.
After a while, Liang Song's breathing gradually stabilized, his brows relaxed slightly, and he squinted his eyes slightly. Seeing Chang Xiyou wanted to light incense, he said, "No need, I'm feeling better now, and I don't need to increase the dosage for the time being."
Judging from the tone of his voice, Liang Song should be conscious. However, if Fu Shun was present, he would have noticed that the emperor's eyes were somewhat dazed, indicating that he had not yet fully recovered from the pain.
Chang Xi felt a pang in his heart after receiving the order. He stopped what he was doing and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Liang Song's gaze fell on the memorials on the desk again, and his hand once again grasped the cinnabar pen for approval. He told himself in his heart: It's just that all the things that happened this year have piled up together.
Too much pressure would cause the old illness to relapse. Now that the noble families in the capital have all behaved themselves, he can rest assured after Fu Shun brings those traitors back to the capital for execution.
By then, he won't have headaches anymore, it must be like this.
Thinking of this, Liang Song asked Chang Xi beside him: "What's the latest news about your master? How long will it take for him to return to Beijing?"
Chang Xi quickly replied, "Master has sent someone to tell me that the mission has been completed and he will return to the capital in the next few days."
After hearing this, Liang Song nodded and said nothing more.
But the pen in his hand did not fall again, his thoughts drifted away, and in the dim light he seemed to see his A Luo standing at the door of the hall, smiling and waving at him.
A sense of grievance rose in his usually cold heart for no reason. Looking at the seemingly real figure, Liang Song said, "Where have you been? Why did you come to see me now? The incense you made is gone, and I am always having a headache!"
The tone of voice was a little coquettish, so Chang Xi, who was serving Liang Song, thought he had misheard. He asked uncertainly: "Your Majesty, what were you just saying..."
"Why have you been gone for a year? If you don't come back, I will be really angry." Liang Song ignored Chang Xi's words, because in his eyes, he saw Xiao Qiluo taking a few steps towards him.
The joy of regaining what was lost made Liang Song completely ignore the situation around him. He even walked down from the dragon throne and took the initiative to walk towards the other party.
But when his hands were about to hold those soft hands, Xiao Qiluo disappeared. Liang Song then realized that the figure just now was just his imagination, and the person he was thinking of had never appeared.
Standing in the center of the hall, he looked at his hands thoughtfully and sighed softly: "I guess I'm really tired!"
Chang Xi was stunned for a moment, then he realized what Liang Song might have just seen. Suddenly he felt that the tip of the knife had passed by his neck.
The current emperor hid his longing for Concubine Xiao so deeply that he never even went to the palace where she used to live.
Having seen what happened just now, Chang Xi almost knelt down immediately, lowered his head and dared not look at Liang Song any more.
"What are you doing? Get up!" Liang Song turned around and saw this scene. "Since you have seen it, from now on, the task of burning incense in the Imperial Concubine's palace on the first and fifteenth day of every month will be left to you."
"Yes!" Chang Xi immediately accepted the task, and his previous panic turned into secret joy.
After all, this is a job that can only be done if you have the trust of His Majesty.
Liang Song then returned to his desk and continued to review memorials.
Not long after everything returned to calm, hurried footsteps were heard outside the hall.
Chang Xi looked up and saw a young eunuch who was unfamiliar to him hurried in, kneeling down and reporting: "Your Majesty, the commander of the secret guards wants to see you."
Liang Song, whose train of thought was suddenly interrupted, frowned, but still said, "Let him in!"
Not long after, a man in black walked into the hall quickly. After saluting, he said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Mi Twenty sent a message that he met Yan Caiyue in Luocheng, and stayed by her side to protect her safety as requested by Fu Zongguan."
It turns out that Liang Song never completely trusts a person, even Fu Shun.
The secret guard not only helped Fu Shun complete the mission, but was also a spy arranged by Liang Song to be beside him.
