Don't be clouded

Chapter 84

The feeling of being concealed by Guan Chen is very uncomfortable.

He vaguely felt that Guanchen was planning something dangerous, and the more this monk pushed him away, the more dangerous it would be.Ji Bieyun couldn't pretend that nothing happened, he wanted to know what Guan Chen was planning.

He looked at the worried little novice in front of him, and asked, "Then where did your brother go today?"

"Today is also entering the palace. Brother Guanchen said that he may not come back until he has a baby." Miaoci replied, "The Holy Majesty has never summoned the monks of Xuanqing Temple so frequently before. Only when the late emperor was still alive would he often call Guanchen Brother called into the palace to chant scriptures."

"Something must have happened in the palace..." Ji Bieyun muttered to himself.

"Master Ji, what did you say?" Miao Ci didn't hear clearly, with a blank expression on her face.

Ji Bieyun had a plan in mind, and patted the little monk on the shoulder, "It's nothing, you go to rest first, don't get tired if you are still growing."

After pushing Miao Ci to the shade, he stood there and thought for a while.Guanchen is not a person who will reveal secrets casually, since Miaoci has let Miaoci know his whereabouts, it must be counted as the possibility of Miaoci telling him about it.

So did the monk let him know on purpose?So even if he sneaks into the palace tonight, Guan Chen won't be angry if he finds out, right?

He pretended to be something in his heart, and then he was absent-minded.

At sunset, the group set off from Xiangzhou to the capital again.Because Ji Bieyun had other plans, he sent Fang Muzhi away and returned to Ji's residence alone.

When we got to the door, it was already dark for a while.He didn't come back for several days, and when he knocked on the door, even the servant was stunned for a long time when he saw him.

"Why are you so dazed, you don't even know your boss?"

The servant welcomed him in as if he had just woken up from a dream, "I know you, how can there be such a good owner in the world as you, who only pay a monthly fee and don't let us serve you, and you can't find your shadow if you want to add tea and water .”

This is a relatively lively servant in their house, and he doesn't care about anything when teasing him.Ji Bieyun laughed amusedly, and asked as he walked in, "Has the son been here today?"

There was a sudden silence on the side, and he hesitated and replied: "Here he is, and he hasn't left yet. He has been waiting since noon until now... Do you want to meet?"

"Let's meet each other," although he was still beating drums in his heart, but since the person didn't leave, it happened to be a meeting.

So he walked through the corridor and came to the hall.

The candles were brightly lit inside, and a man was sitting on the guest seat, with a dignified posture, his back straight, and two servants standing behind him.It was a little far away, and he couldn't see the other person's face clearly, he just felt that he was an elegant person.As expected of his surname Ming, although he is only a child of Master Hou's family, he also has some manners from the Tian family.

After he stepped through the door, the other party noticed the movement, put down the teacup in his hand, and stood up unhurriedly.

"General Ji." Shizi nodded to him with a smile.

He also nodded slightly, "I've met the prince. I was studying Zen in Xuanqing Mountain before, and then I was busy with the affairs of the military camp, so I neglected the prince for many days. I hope you can forgive me."

Both parties knew that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, and he showed up only after hiding so hard that he couldn't hide anymore.

But the son just smiled and replied: "The general is busy with military affairs, I understand, now that I finally meet the general, the waiting for the previous few days is not in vain."

This man was gentle and handsome, without the arrogance of aristocrats in his words and deeds, he looked like a modest gentleman.

But in Ji Bieyun's eyes, it became a bad omen.If the prince yelled at him as soon as he came up, scolding him for his lack of manners, then Ji Bieyun still felt that this negotiation had some hope.But the other party behaved impeccably, without even a trace of anger, it was all hidden under that smiling face, so he couldn't figure out how deep this man was.

Ji Bieyun had an idea in mind, and sat down on the main seat, "Your Majesty is reasonable, so Ji will get right to the point."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "The son came here this time, but for the sake of the Holy One?"

"The emperor's uncle has always been soft-hearted and never forced me to do anything," said the prince, "I came to visit Ji's house because I wanted to know the general's intentions."

"My wish?" He chuckled, "My wish is that this matter is absurd. Daliang has not had such a precedent for more than [-] years. Does the prince really want to live in my house? Even if it is Lingmei, Ji also felt that this marriage was unnecessary."

The young man said: "Why? General Ji entered the officialdom not long ago, so it should be time to consolidate his position? Could it be that the general feels that the Marquis Mansion is not enough, and wants to find a higher lintel?"

Ji Bieyun lost his smile, "Why do you pretend you don't understand, my son, I never want to climb up the prince's house, and I don't mean to look down on De Jinghou. I just don't like the feeling that I can't help myself. In Jinxiu Gaomen, I should understand this feeling of involuntary control better than I do. No matter which one of you brothers and sisters agrees to this marriage gift from the Holy Majesty, your family will have the final say on life and death in the future, and you have to take care of me Ji family."

Seeing that Shizi didn't speak, he added a few more words, but his tone became worse and worse: "What's more, I haven't seen you before, how could I want to live with you? And what I need to tell Shizi is that I already have someone I like gone."

Shizi suddenly raised his eyes to look at him, with a trace of surprise and playfulness in his eyes, "The person I like? Can I know who it is?"

"No." Ji Bieyun refused without thinking.

If he really said Guan Chen's name, he must not scare the other party to death.

"I originally thought that General Ji was a martial arts practitioner who didn't understand Fengyue, but unexpectedly, he has secretly agreed with him." The prince smiled, "I have already understood the various disadvantages that the general reminded me just now. People are born with involuntary control, and it's not bad. This one. I hope General Ji will be patient for a while longer."

He frowned. "What do you mean?"

The son got up and walked forward, "Like the general, I have long been interested in others. But my father can't disobey the holy order, and my father's order is not easy to disobey as a man and child. So I ask General Ji to be tolerant for a few more days. We still have to come to the Ji Mansion as guests every day, and when the Holy Majesty withdraws his intention, we can all be quiet."

Hearing that Shizi himself didn't want to get entangled with him, Ji Bieyun was finally half relieved, but he still heard some implication from these words.

If he didn't take the initiative to go, he would have to wait for Emperor Yuanhui to repent or forget about it. The prince didn't seem to mind running to him every day, and he was the only one who was anxious and distressed.

"Then you mean that you want me to reject the holy will, and you can enjoy it?"

The young man bowed lightly and saluted, "Thank you, General Ji, for your success."

The feeling of being pinched by others is not good, Ji Bieyun was so angry that his teeth itched, he said loudly: "Come here, see off the guests!"

After all, he didn't even care about the etiquette, he went out first before the guests left.The servant waiting outside went in to see off the guests for him, and Xu Yang, who was standing beside him, saw him coming out, so he quickly followed and walked towards the north courtyard.

"Why did you come back suddenly today? I thought you were going to hide in the military camp for a few more days." Xu Yang was laughing at him again.

Ji Bieyun said angrily: "I can hide past the first day of the junior high school but not the fifteenth day, and besides, I have to come back to get things."

"Something? What?"

"Nightwear."

Ji Bieyun was pulled back suddenly, Xu Yang pulled him back with all his strength, and asked, "Which wall are you going to climb?"

He wanted to answer but dared not answer, for fear that Xu Yang would object.Where can I go, of course I went to the palace, the monk Guanchen ran to the palace every day, he wanted to see what was inside.

"You'd better not know, just pretend you didn't see me go out later."

Xu Yang was puzzled for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and blurted out, "Isn't it...you're crazy!"

"...Why do one or two call me crazy every day, am I very sober?" Ji Bieyun walked to the door of his room, turned around and blocked Xu Yang from the door, "Brother Xu, don't worry, If I don't want to be discovered, others will not be able to catch me. Go back as soon as you go, remember to prepare a bowl of supper for me."

He turned around and took out the night suit from the cabinet, quickly put it on, and covered the lower half of his face with a black cloth.

Xu Yang scolded outside the house: "It's really hard to eat, what are you doing there?"

"If you don't do anything, I'll just take a look." He walked out of the room and passed Xu Yang, "I promise not to do anything, let's go."

He soared into the air, flew up to the roof, and left Ji Zhai behind in a blink of an eye.

The number of times Ji Bieyun entered the imperial city can be counted on one's fingers, and each time he went there in an aboveboard manner, he had never been sneaky, but those few times were enough for him to understand the rules of the imperial city guards.

No matter how impregnable the imperial city is, there are always weaknesses. He waited patiently for a while, and then sneaked in from the corner while he was changing defenses.

Generally speaking, there are three palaces in the imperial city, which are Chengming Palace, Xuanming Palace and Songming Palace from south to north.

The Chengming Palace at the front is where the Dunhua Palace is located. It is mainly used for going to court on weekdays, and it is usually quiet at night.The Wenying Palace, where Ji Bieyun had visited twice, was the Xuanming Palace in the middle, and there were only a few lights tonight. It seemed that the emperor didn't often light up the lights to deal with government affairs assiduously.

The northernmost Songming Palace occupies the largest area, where the emperor's bedroom, a large harem, and the imperial garden are all stuffed here.

Ji Bieyun was cautious all the way, almost lost his way, and finally followed the light to a place called Ningxi Palace.The lights inside were bright, and many people gathered. There were guards inside and outside, and dozens of palace people were waiting outside the hall.

He climbed up a tall tree, picked a branch and sat down firmly, looking down.

Through the window, only vague figures could be seen in the hall, but it was hard to see who it was.Ji Bieyun stared at it persistently, but felt a familiar voice drifting to his ears, closed his eyes and listened intently for a while, then he opened them suddenly.

It's the sound of wooden fish.

Could it be that Guanchen is chanting sutras?

Emperor Yuan Hui didn't believe in Buddhism, so why did he call people here in the middle of the night to knock on wooden fish and chant sutras?Too busy?

He was slandering, and the next moment he saw someone coming out of the hall.It was an old man leading a young man with a square box on his back. It took him a while to recognize that it should be a medicine box.

Are those two doctors?
