Chapter 310
*
In the distant Shangjing, the emperor was also tossing and turning.
The day before yesterday, in the sweltering heat of June, the emperor wanted to take the young concubines who are now favored to the palace to escape the heat, but he encountered an ambush halfway.
The three of them, the three guardians of the Xuanbing Palace, after killing more than a dozen imperial guards, left quietly without entanglement.
The emperor lost the idea of escaping the summer heat, and turned back to the palace, but at the royal meal that night, the eunuch used a silver needle to test the poison and found nothing, but when he took it, the eunuch died instantly.
Assassination on the road at noon, poisoning at night, the emperor is still stable.
But the night before yesterday, the emperor was sleeping in the palace of the concubine's favorite concubine, and the maid of the concubine's favorite concubine suddenly got up. Although she finally died under his sword, it still made the emperor upset.
Yesterday, the imperial meal brought by the imperial study room was poisoned again.
After the royal meal went wrong that day, the emperor had already taken the life of the royal chef's dog, but the meal was still poisoned.
The emperor's body was nursed back to that year by Concubine Zhen, which was basically invulnerable to all poisons. But today is different from the past, there are always new poisons born out of nowhere, not to mention the Ji family Ji Mingyan is even better at this, the emperor had to guard against it.
Today, the emperor did not go to the harem again, but when he went to relax in the imperial garden at night, a eunuch who was in charge of taking care of the flowers suddenly flew out of the flowers and stabbed a knife straight at the emperor's heart.
These are all small tricks, not enough to kill the emperor, but make the emperor more and more uneasy.
He asked people to check these royal chefs, eunuchs, and palace maids, but they couldn't find anything.
The emperor suspected that it was the queen's person, but the queen went to the temple half a month ago, saying that she was praying for the prince, and has not returned yet.
This is his palace, his harem, but it is full of murderous intentions, and even going to the imperial garden becomes apprehensive.
I can't eat well, I can't sleep well, I can always dream of some old memories in my dreams.
The emperor got up from the bed and called, "Black Wind."
But the name was called out, but no one came back for a long time. The emperor only remembered that Hei Feng had been killed by his own hands that day, because he concealed the fact that the body of the three guardians had not been found more than ten years ago.
Now the head of the dark guard is someone else.
"Dark charm."
As soon as he finished speaking, a man in black walked out quietly and knelt in front of the emperor: "Lord."
The emperor looked at the dark charm in front of him. The dark charm came to him six years ago. He has been loyal and loyal over the years. He has taken risks several times, and his skills are also very good.
Therefore, as soon as Heifeng died, the emperor let Anmei take the throne.
The emperor suddenly said solemnly: "How many years have you been with me?"
An Mei respectfully replied, "My lord, six years."
Emperor: "How did you get to me?"
An Mei: "Slave is not talented. Six years ago, the Beishan inner disciple won the first place in the competition, so he came to serve the Lord."
The emperor asked again, "How are your wives and daughters?"
An Mei was stunned for a moment: "My lord, the slave is not married, and there is only one mother and one brother in the family."
The emperor rubbed his eyebrows, and then suppressed his doubts: "Now the thieves are in the dark, you have to be careful, and the secret guards accompanying me, you must also investigate carefully, if there is anything wrong, you will be executed!"
As soon as these words came out, murderous intentions were everywhere, and the tea cups on the table on the side were buzzing.
The emperor's blushing eyes were full of yīn prey.
It is better to kill by mistake than to misplace!
An Mei's heart froze, and she said respectfully, "Yes, my lord!"

Now that the rainy season has passed, the area of Liangzhou has returned to its former calm.
In the next few days, Wu Weian settled the matter at hand, called Wen Zhaomo and the three of them, saying: "In the next few days, I will take my wife to the nearby mountains to escape the heat, and Liangzhou affairs will be left to the three of you for the time being, there is something important. Write a letter to report."
The three said respectfully, "Yes, my lord."
After the matter was settled, Wu Weian returned to the room.
He handed Ji Yunxi the mask he had made with his own hands in the past few days: "Try it, Madam."
The mask is very light, with a light layer, which is thinner than modern masks, so I can't tell what it looks like for the time being.
Ji Yunxi sat in front of the dressing mirror and tried it on for a long time without success. She looked at the person standing behind her and raised her eyebrows, "How to wear it?"
Wu Weian stepped forward, bent over, took the mask in her hand, and helped her put it on little by little.
The key to the mask was two places behind the ears. I don't know what coating was used. With a slight force on his hand, Ji Yunxi's ears suddenly became hot, and the mask was firmly put on.
She raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror.
The originally gorgeous facial features were covered up, revealing slightly ordinary facial features.
Not ugly, a little delicate, not very conspicuous in the crowd.
Ji Yunxi turned her head slightly and looked at Wu Weian behind her, smiling but not smiling.
This man really has a very small stomach.
The man smiled lightly: "Look, isn't it a good match?"
Ji Yunxi snorted lightly.
The next moment, Wu Weian took out his own mask from his arms and put it on himself.
In the residence of Lord Zhizhou of Liangzhou, a man with charming phoenix eyes and bewitching features left quietly with a woman with a slightly ordinary face.
The wind was blowing at night, and the two of them were chatting in a low voice.
"Madam, are you satisfied with this mask?"
"Change your name."
"Madam is cautious. What does Madam want me to call you?"
"master."

Early the next morning, the first rays of sunlight penetrated through the clouds and enveloped the world below.
