Wishful Things

And this young man is known for being gentle and humble in his dealings with others, but anyone who has interacted with him before can find any faults, not to mention the so-called faults.

This young man who won the emperor's heart was on his way to the imperial study.

At this moment, a gray shadow suddenly ran out from a path beside him.

The shadow was short and small, very anxious, Zhan Yunzhu shrewdly dodged sideways, so as not to be bumped into by the opponent, and only slightly touched half of the corner of his clothes.

But seeing that the boy was about to fall, he reached out his hand in time to help him.

"Xiao Daoist, be careful."

Seeing clearly that the opponent was wearing the Taoist robe of Xuanqing Palace, Zhan Yunzhu still spoke softly even though no one else was around.

"Thank you, my lord."

The little Taoist saluted blushingly.

Zhan Yunzhu asked with a smile: "The Taoist priest is in such a hurry, I don't know where he is going?"

"According to Master's order, I want to send this elixir to the imperial study room. I am afraid that if I don't know the way well, I will miss my errand if I go late, so I left in a hurry and almost bumped into my lord. I hope my lord will forgive me..."

"It doesn't matter." Zhan Yunzhu glanced at the pill box in his arms, and said with a smile: "I also want to go to the imperial study room to face the saint, why don't the little Taoists go with me."

The little Taoist nodded gratefully: "Thank you sir for leading the way!"

"I don't know which fairy is the leader of the little Taoist?"

On the way, Zhan Yunzhu asked as if chatting.

"Xiaodao's master is Master Xuanming."

"So, this elixir was also refined by Immortal Master Xuanming?"

"That's not true. The elixir that His Majesty is taking now is all refined by the master himself. This elixir alone has been refined for forty-nine days. It has the effect of purifying the heart and clearing the orifice to ward off evil spirits." Woolen cloth."

Zhan Yunzhu nodded knowingly, but was a little puzzled.

To ward off evil spirits?

When does His Majesty need to ward off evil spirits?

He tentatively asked some other questions. The little Taoist seemed innocent and simple, answering every question.

The Royal Study Room arrived soon.

After the little Taoist priest handed over the elixir to the inner eunuch guarding outside the imperial study room, he left quickly.

After the transmission, Zhan Yunzhu entered the imperial study.

As usual many times, Xia Tingzhen was still sitting on that chair with a solemn and calm expression.

Zhan Yunzhu bowed to Emperor Qingming, and then saluted in Xia Tingzhen's direction: "Lord Xia."

Xia Tingzhen nodded slightly, glanced at the young man's face, and couldn't help but think of a few recent events.

Several times when he and this person were summoned by the emperor to discuss matters in front of the imperial court, this person would agree with his proposal, and his attitude was sincere, so that no one could see the slightest sense of hostility. This is Xia Tingzhen's man...

For a moment, he couldn't guess the intention and intention of this person.

But it was obvious that Ji Xiu couldn't hold such a calm and scheming person at all, and it might be a blessing not to be swallowed up.

"The reason for calling the two lovers here today is to worship the ancestors in six days." Emperor Qingming's eyes fell on Zhan Yunzhu, and said: "Zhan Aiqing, come with me when the time comes. .”

And at that time, the national teacher will also pass.

Zhan Yunzhu did not doubt that there was another answer.

"There is also the matter of Lord Zhen..." Emperor Qingming held up the teacup in his hand, and said in a very calm tone: "I have carefully considered the proposal of the two lovers recently—"

Zhan Yunzhu lowered his eyes respectfully and listened attentively.

It seems that the emperor has already made a decision...

Emperor Qingming took a sip of his tea, and when he was about to speak, he suddenly heard rustling noises in his ears.

Li Ji, who was standing by with his hands down, also heard it, followed the sound, and immediately widened his eyes.

A mouse the size of a kitten is crawling quickly...!

Moreover, the rat creaked and squeaked as it crawled, without the slightest awareness that as a rat, it needs to keep a low profile and hide from people's eyes.

"Get this thing out quickly..." Li Ji immediately ordered the little eunuch beside him in a low voice.

The little eunuch responded and walked quickly.

However, I saw the mouse heading straight in one direction——

The huge mouse got under Zhan Yunzhu's feet and climbed up along the corner of his robe!

Zhan Yunzhu's face changed slightly, and he immediately raised his hand and shook his robe, trying to shake the mouse off.

However, the mouse's four paws were gripped extremely tightly, allowing him to shake it however it wanted, and it just chirped and crawled on him, as if it was looking for something.

Emperor Qingming frowned greatly.

What a strange thing... He had never seen a mouse chasing and crawling on a person!

The little eunuch grabbed a broom from the corner, and was about to help knock down the mouse, when he saw two more mice crawling over from nowhere, and this time their goal was clearly in the direction of Zhan Yunzhu.

The little eunuch was disgusted and frightened—did Mr. Zhan stab the mouse's nest, and made some kind of revenge with the mice to kill their wives, mothers, and families!

Xia Tingzhen, who was as calm as this, couldn't stand it anymore, got up from the chair, frowned slightly and moved away.

Seeing this, Li Ji had no choice but to call the inner prison outside the hall to come in and help drive him away.

After some chaotic chasing, the mice finally dispersed, not knowing where they went.

Zhan Yunzhu barely maintained a calm and calm demeanor, flicked his sleeves to straighten his robe, bowed his head and retreated to one side.

"Why are there such dirty things in the imperial study?"

After the dragon case, Emperor Qingming asked with a slightly gloomy expression.

"...Returning to Your Majesty, I have never dared to be careless about getting rid of rats and insects. These things probably came out of the utility room behind the side hall." Li Ji said, feeling weird.

Even so, how dare these things run into crowded places in broad daylight?

And all of a sudden three came out!

"The mice whose origins are unknown may be unclean. It is better to find them as soon as possible, and then carefully scrub the hall—" Xia Tingzhen, who was standing there, spoke.

Li Ji nodded "Yes".

Zhan Yunzhu will raise his hand in salute: "Then the humble minister will go down first and change clothes."

Emperor Qingming let out a "hmm" and watched the young man back out.

Throwing himself into the river without dying...

It is called flood disaster.

Wrapped in ominous and evil things, causing harm to those around her, and encountering the loss of her mother when she first returned...

Are these just accidental?

Or, is someone trying to frame this young man deliberately?

The figure of Taoist Xuanqing flashed in Emperor Qingming's mind, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart.

I still remember that a minister once revealed to him intentionally or unintentionally that the national teacher was arranged by Ji Xiu...

And if this is the case, how can the national teacher try every means to frame Zhan Yunzhu who is on the same side?

What's more, the national teacher is different from ordinary Taoist priests.

The unexplainable thunder and fire in Fengtian Hall made him never able to question the teacher's morality and ability. The same thing, if the national teacher said it, he had to believe a little more.

And that night, a message came from Yuxiu Palace.
