Nightwatcher

Emperor Yuan Jing woke up from his sleep, the empty hall was silent, and the accompanying eunuch fell asleep lying on the small case.

There are no concubines or maids in the bedroom. Emperor Yuan Jing has been abstinent and practiced Taoism for more than 20 years. The emperor's bedroom has become a forbidden place for the concubines in the palace.

Regarding Emperor Yuan Jing's practice of Taoism, the feelings of the concubines can be summed up in one sentence:

Scholars study hard with the lamp on - bursting their livers.

Naturally, there were complaints, but Emperor Yuan Jing never paid attention to the opinions of his concubines. As an emperor with many heirs, concubines have long been dispensable.

If you practice Taoism twenty years earlier, the ministers will die.

"Your Majesty is awake?" The eunuch woke up from a light sleep, and came to the dragon's couch in a panic.

"What time is it?" Emperor Yuan Jing pinched his eyebrows.

"Yinshi Moji." The eunuch said, turned around and picked up the teapot on the small stove, and poured a cup of warm water for Emperor Yuan Jing.

After serving the emperor for so many years, there are some trivial matters that don't need to be asked at all.

Emperor Yuan Jing drank the tea, and slowly let out a mouthful of turbid air: "After the ancestor worship ceremony, I feel restless, and I set up the Lingbao Temple. I want to practice Taoism with the national teacher and meditate."

The master and servant had just walked out of the bedroom when they suddenly heard the ringing of bells resounding across the night sky and every corner of the palace city.

The palace entered a state of readiness.

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, seeing a group of forbidden troops rushing towards him, his expression was terrified.

The leader of the forbidden army said loudly: "Your Majesty, there was an explosion in Sangpo, and the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen was destroyed. The three hundred forbidden troops on duty died, and none of them survived."

Emperor Yuan Jing froze in place.

After a long time, he said in a deep voice: "Notify Wei Yuan and immediately bring people into the palace; notify the national teacher to come here to see me; notify the supervisor and say that the Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen has been destroyed."

That night, the warlocks of the Sitianjian woke up for no reason, terrified like the end of the world.

The first to arrive was the female national teacher, who stepped on a seven-star sword and came from the sky.

Wearing a lotus flower crown on his head, wearing a Tai Chi Taoist robe with fluttering wide sleeves, a burst of immortal air rushes towards his face.

She is a woman of indeterminate age, with a beautiful appearance and a noble temperament. She has the fair and tender skin of a young woman, and the charm of a mature woman, as well as the elegance of a worldly person.

Her beauty is as if separated by thousands of mountains and thousands of snows, which is beyond reach.

"National Master" Emperor Yuan Jing opened his mouth and sighed: "The things under Sangbo came out."

The female national teacher nodded slightly, her voice was faint and clear: "The poor Taoist already knows."

Wei Yuan then arrived and brought with him two golden gongs who were on duty at the watchmen's yamen, and two adopted sons, a total of four high-quality warriors.

Coupled with the masters in the palace, a group of powerful fighters and Renzong Taoists surrounded Yuan Jingdi and rushed to Sangbo.

On the shore of Sangbo, more than a thousand forbidden soldiers gathered, holding torches, and the high-quality warriors who served in the army gathered together, waiting for Emperor Yuan Jing.

The Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen no longer exists, the high platform is half collapsed, and broken wooden beams are floating on the water.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Yuan Jing frowned fiercely, and shouted: "Where is the Excalibur?"

A leader of the forbidden army clasped his fists and said, "Someone has been sent to take it."

Emperor Yuan Jing took a deep breath, walked to the shore, stretched out his hand, and bent his fingers.

A clear yellow light lit up at the bottom of the water, and a three-foot-long bronze sword broke through the water and flew into the hands of Emperor Yuan Jing.

After examining it carefully, Emperor Yuan Jing, who confirmed that the divine sword was intact, heaved a sigh of relief.

Stepping on the Seven Star Sword and holding the floating dust Jue Meishi, he spun around Sangbo and froze in mid-air, saying:

"Your Majesty, there is nothing unusual about Sangbo."

There was nothing unusual, Emperor Yuan Jing's pupils darkened a bit.

Wei Yuan turned his head and asked the generals of the Forbidden Army: "Where are the bones of the casualties?"

More than a dozen corpses were carried up, all in the same manner, with shriveled flesh and blood, like mummified corpses that had been weathered for decades.

"The death conditions of the rest of the soldiers are the same as theirs." After a general reported, he glanced at Emperor Yuan Jing cautiously: "Your Majesty and others have not noticed that there is a strong enemy invading."

The leaders of the imperial army knew in their hearts that the real reason for this change might be related to the accident in the ancestor worship ceremony the day before yesterday.

They also had a more frightening guess. The reason why Sangbo exploded and the patrol soldiers died suddenly was probably not the invasion of powerful enemies, but some secrets hidden in Sangbo.

Although the generals have guesses in their hearts, they are just courtiers and know what to say and what not to say.

Emperor Yuan Jing glanced over the corpse sharply, turned his head, and stared at Wei Yuan's face: "Wei Yuan, come with me to the imperial study."

Brocade curtains hang down, and sandalwood is burning in the bedroom.

The eldest princess was awakened by the sound of the bell. The moment she opened her eyes, she didn't put on her clothes, but pulled out the long sword hanging by the bed. Amidst the clanging and powerful sound, she was wearing a white underclothes, outlining her exquisite and protruding figure. hall.

The tall and cold beauty is carrying a long sword with a cold light, and her black hair is scattered like a waterfall, looking a little lazy and messy.

The white underwear outlines a well-proportioned figure. She is not the kind of fragile woman, and she has the sexyness of a gym beauty all over her body. If Xu Qi'an wanted to be here, he would sigh: This woman is perfect for me.

"Your Highness"

The servant girl in the side hall also woke up, and ran over in a panic, grabbing the eldest princess' palace attire.

"Change into a fresh outfit." The eldest princess's clear eyebrows revealed majesty.

After changing into a light and strong outfit that made her figure more visible, with a military crossbow on her left waist and a firecracker on her right waist, and a long sword in her hand, the eldest princess led the bodyguards and rushed to Emperor Yuan Jing's palace.

The eldest princess was stopped by the forbidden army guarding the emperor's bedroom. At this time, the princes and daughters could not get close to the emperor.

Who knows if a certain prince is plotting to force the palace.

The eldest princess didn't force her way in, she glanced at the imperial guards, and saw a few familiar figures, the watchman and the high-ranking warriors in each army.

What happened? If it wasn't for the invasion of a strong enemy, the Forbidden Army in the palace would never ring the bell to warn. But if it was an invasion by a strong enemy, the scene seemed too quiet. Moreover, the Sitian Supervisor didn't come

The eldest princess held the sword and thought carefully.

At this time, the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace and several princes and princesses also brought people over.

"Huaiqing!" The prince was dressed in military uniform with a serious look on his face.

"The situation is currently unknown." The eldest princess said concisely.

The second princess with peach-blossom eyes was charming and seductive, seeing that the eldest princess was dressed in a strong outfit, her brows were less cold and more fierce, as if she would hit someone if she disagreed with her, she opened her cherry mouth, and finally chose to remain silent.

There's something important going on today, so I'm too lazy to argue with Huaiqing.

A quarter of an hour later, the door of the imperial study room opened, and the eunuch in Tsing Yi came out.

"Wei Gong" eldest princess has the closest relationship with Wei Yuan, barely half of Wei Yuan's disciple.

Wei Yuan sighed, "The Shanhe Temple in Yongzhen collapsed. It was done by thieves, but they have long since disappeared."

The princes and princesses exclaimed, and the Crown Prince of the East Palace squinted his eyes, suppressing his inner emotions, and stepped forward: "Is it related to the ancestor worship ceremony that day?"

Wei Yuan shook his head and glanced at the eldest princess: "Your Majesty ordered me to find out the truth within half a month and catch the culprit. I will frankly explain to Your Majesty that this case will never be easy to handle."

He shook his head and left.

The eldest princess' eyes flickered.

The door of the imperial study room opened again, and the great eunuch wearing a black silk hat and a camel python robe came out.

"Your Highnesses, Your Majesty invites you."

Headed by the Crown Prince of the East Palace, the princes and princesses who came to check the situation, a total of eight people, entered the imperial study together.

The desk used by the emperor was placed in the front hall, and there was no one there. The eunuch led them into the inner hall, and saw that the curtain was hanging down.

The distance between the two is neither too far nor too close, keeping a distance of a fellow Taoist discussing the Dao.

Over the years, Emperor Yuan Jing has practiced Taoism with this female national teacher, and the effect is very good. At the beginning, Emperor Yuan Jing was tired of government affairs, and his hair grew early. In his early thirties, his temples were frosty.

Following the 20 years of Taoism practiced by Ren Zongzong, his head was full of black hair, and his blood and body improved.

In private, the prince wished he could tie a villain and curse her.

The other princes' perception of this Taoist nun is half of admiration and greed, and half of reverence and loathing.

"Master, I'm still restless." Emperor Yuan Jing broke free from the state of meditation, opened his eyes, and sighed.

"Your Majesty has a heart disease, and you need to heal it with heart medicine." The female national teacher said, with the melodiousness and texture of a mature woman in her voice.

"I do have a heart disease." Emperor Yuan Jing stared at the Taoist nun's beautiful face, and said with a smile, "I have been waiting for the national teacher to cultivate with me."

Hearing these words, the faces of the princes and princesses suddenly became strange.

Only the eldest princess and the prince did not change their faces, and their thoughts were very deep.

Ten years ago, Emperor Yuan Jing proposed to practice double cultivation with the national teacher, but the national teacher refused, so Emperor Yuan Jing issued an imperial edict to make her a fairy concubine.

The national teacher still didn't agree, and Emperor Yuan Jing still relied on others to cultivate immortals, so he had to give up.

Outsiders only thought that Emperor Yuan Jing was greedy for the outstanding talent of the national teacher. There may be reasons for this, but it is by no means the main factor. The princes and princesses know best what their father is like.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, what kind of woman can't get it?

The princess who is known as the most beautiful woman in the capital was a palace lady back then. But Emperor Yuan Jing, who had already practiced abstinence at that time, didn't touch her with a single finger.

What the royal father dreamed of was longevity.

Emperor Yuan Jing didn't care if he didn't get a satisfactory answer. He lifted the curtain and led a group of children to the front hall. He sat at the desk and said, "Don't worry, it's fine."

As the eldest son and the leader of the princes and daughters, the crown prince bowed and said, "Father, is it related to the abnormality of the ancestor worship ceremony?"

Emperor Yuan Jing frowned, unwilling to explain.

The prince winked at the second princess cryptically, and the charming Princess Lin'an, who was wearing a gorgeous palace dress, smiled, took the teacup from the eunuch, twisted her waist and came to Emperor Yuan Jing, and said coquettishly:

"Father, Sangbo is a forbidden area of ​​our royal family. What kind of thief can sneak into Sangbo and destroy the temple of Emperor Taizu, so can they also sneak into Lin'an's mansion?"

On her charming and beautiful face, she frowns tightly, showing a pitiful and frightened look.

The second princess is the most favored, because she can act like a baby and knows how to please Yuan Jingdi.

Emperor Yuan Jing is a strong person with a strong desire to control. He may not necessarily like the talented but domineering eldest princess, but he definitely likes the weak and harmless second princess who relies on himself and can act like a baby.

With black hair, the emperor seemed to be in his prime, patted the catkin of the second princess, and comforted him: "Nonsense, the forbidden area of ​​the palace, the thieves come and go when they say it."

The crown prince started the group, the second princess assisted, and the eldest princess stepped out, saluting: "I met Wei Gong at the door just now, and he expressed his displeasure to my minister in a cryptic way, presumably because he wanted my minister to help me, so let me give you a few more days .”

Emperor Yuan Jing snorted when he heard this.

The eldest princess continued: "Father, I happen to know an expert in solving crimes. If he can participate in this case, within half a month, the truth will definitely be found out."
