Metaphysics, from getting started to giving up

Chapter 55

Within the imperial city.

Stargazing Pavilion.

Zhou Yi concentrated, carefully holding a brush, and brushed on the rice paper laid out on the desk.

Eunuch Sibao took the fly whisk, and after he finished writing and the ink on the rice paper was wiped off, he admired admiringly: "I didn't expect that Master Guoshi's calligraphy skills are so exquisite. Zhifeng, good, really good."

Zhou Yi said modestly: "The four treasures are too famous, but it is just that they have written too many talismans and are familiar with them. How can they compare with the masters of calligraphy in the past? I am afraid that they are like mud frogs looking up at the stars."

Eunuch Sibao laughed and said, "Master Guoshi is too arrogant to belittle himself."

Zhou Yi just smiled and said nothing.

At this time, a sharp voice sounded from the outside of the Guanxing Pavilion: "His Royal Highness is here—"

Zhou Yi and Eunuch Sibao looked at each other with meaningful smiles on their faces.

"His Royal Highness, please." Zhou Yi said neither humble nor overbearing.

A moment later, the wooden door of the astrology room was hastily pushed open by the little eunuch, and the prince in python robe strode in.His face was the same as Zhou Yi's in memory, handsome and majestic, with the arrogance and arrogance of a superior.

Walking into the astrology room, the prince saw at a glance the father-in-law Sibao who was standing opposite Zhou Yi, and the vertical scroll of calligraphy placed on the desk.

"Is Jianyuan writing?" He pointed to the rice paper on the table, "But, what is Father Sibao doing here?"

Eunuch Sibao respectfully said: "Yesterday, Concubine Ying's lady suffered from the wind and cold. Although the imperial doctor has seen it, the miscellaneous family thought, why don't you ask Master Zhou for one or two pieces of the Dao technique of concentrating the mind, maybe it can make the lady feel happy. It's getting better. Master Guoshi is also kind-hearted, so he agreed to the miscellaneous family to write a calligraphy and painting for the empress to calm the nerves."

"I didn't expect people from Jianyuan to be so kind," the prince twitched his lips, "Why not, would Jianyuan also write a letter for Gu? Gu just returned from leading an army in Ximan a few days ago, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to sleep at night. OK."

"Then I will send the copybook to the East Palace later." Zhou Yi was neither cold nor indifferent.

The expression on Prince Chenghui's face was a little subtle.

Eunuch Sibao looked at Zhou Yi, then at the prince, lowered his head, looked at his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.Although he was sent by the old emperor to work on Zhou Yi's side, Father Sibao always missed his original master, the concubine Yingfei who gave birth to the Seventh Prince, so naturally he secretly favored the Seventh Prince's side.He secretly muttered in his heart that everyone in the court knew that the line of national teachers had always only served the emperor, Cheng Huili had been the prince for many years, and the national teacher Zhou Jianyuan had always been on the side of the prince.

But now it seems that the two do not agree?There are even really huge slits?

Seung Hye looked at him deeply.

"Does Jianyuan remember the past? At that time, Gu was assassinated by an assassin. Although he was lucky enough to save his life, he was also seriously injured," he said. Tremella...how come Gu has been back from Ximan for a few days now, and Jian Yuan has never visited Gu in the East Palace?"

"I just remembered that at that time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince smashed the tremella that night with his own hands," Zhou Yi said coldly, "I didn't think that the Crown Prince didn't like it."

Cheng Hui frowned. He used tricks to trap the entire crew in this illusion created by him. According to the peddler who gave him this mysterious technique, in this illusion Most people should forget about the future and only remember the past.

In the past, although he and Zhou Yi had a quarrel, the other party would never reject him so bluntly.

He was a little puzzled, why did Zhou Yi reject him?

"Does Jian Yuan remember hating Gu because of the past?" Cheng Hui frowned. At that time, someone under him rebelled. In order to find out the traitor, he simply pretended to be injured by tricks, and he obviously couldn't drink Zhou Yi's medicinal soup.

"Why reminisce about the past?" Zhou Yi sneered secretly, "Everyone looks forward, and it is probably inappropriate for the prince to reminisce about the past like this."

Cheng Hui's face suddenly turned cold, he hummed softly, and left with a flick of his sleeves.They came and went in a hurry, which made Father Sibao, who had been observing secretly, confused.

The prince who left was quite puzzled.

In terms of status, he is the current prince and the future emperor; in terms of appearance, he is also first-class handsome.

Why did Zhou Yi reject himself.

He has always been headstrong, and at the beginning, he only regarded Zhou Yi as a stepping stone to the throne.It wasn't until Zhou Yi was bestowed dead by the old emperor that he discovered that he had already had his heart set on Zhou Yi.

After proclaiming himself emperor, he wantonly appointed countless mystical masters, hoping to bring Zhou Yi back to life.

However, these alchemists discovered that Zhou Yi's soul had already undergone subtle changes due to the use of the forbidden technique to renew the life of the Jinshan Gate. The dead rise again.

Therefore, the prince laid out the overall situation.

First, he found the remnant soul of the shadow guard who had been his stand-in, and asked his mysterious alchemists to mark it and forcibly change his fate, so that he could use it as a container for his future.

The reason why Xie Qianchou was so unlucky was largely due to his fate being tampered with.Qisha, Pojun, and Tanlang are Ziwei's mortal enemies, but since ancient times, yin and yang have been born together. The more this is the case, the more suitable a person with the life of Shapolang is to become the body of Ziwei's support.

The shadow guard will continue to reincarnate, looking for Zhou Yi, who has been revived somewhere for him.And when the other party finds Zhou Yi, the death robbery secretly buried in the other party's soul will be activated. Under the guidance of God's will, the shadow guard will involuntarily reach Jinshan Gate, and his resentful soul will also wake up at this time. Take away the container you ordered.

Unfortunately, that night, his plan was ruined by Zhou Yi.

He didn't expect that Zhou Yi would turn himself into an enemy for the "Third Prince" who seemed as low as an ant to him.

How could this not make Chenghui angry?In the end, all his arrangements have to be taken advantage of by the other party?

In desperation, he chose to temporarily possess Shen Du. The other party was a greedy wolf, not a seven-killer. To him, it was just unsatisfactory.With Shen Du's identity and the help of a small number of surviving descendants from the old part, Cheng Hui successfully landed Zhou Yi's crew, and was going to take Zhou Yi down again.

Since Jianyuan doesn't want to be with him, just force him directly!He is a prince, he is an emperor, who dares to defy him?He wants to imprison Zhou Yi's soul in this illusion, so that the other party will be held in his hands forever!

It is true that he likes Zhou Yi.

But if there are ten points, Zhou Yi will only be given one point.

After the prince left, Zhou Yi sorted out the copybooks on the desk, rolled up the calligraphy along the roller, and politely handed it to Eunuch Sibao.

Looking at Zhou Yi, Mr. Sibao said fairly: "Speaking of which, the crown prince really just came back from Ximan not long ago. I remember that a few days ago, the Master of the National Teacher asked for his order to go to Ximan. Is it? At that time, you didn't see the prince?"

Before Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou left Ximan, they had colluded with the generals there. The old emperor thought that all the soldiers of Ximan were loyal to him, and Prince Chenghui also thought that those soldiers were under his control.

But in fact, these generals stationed in Ximan are only loyal to the third prince's biological father, that is, the general.

These people, in fact, have long been on Xie Qianchou's side.

"It's because I didn't see it. I was just unlucky. When I arrived in Ximan, His Royal Highness had already withdrawn his troops and returned to Beijing." Zhou Yi said.

"So that's the case. Speaking of which, there will be a grand celebration banquet in the court in three days. Remember, the master of the state has not seen all the princes under the Holy Majesty, right? Just take this opportunity to see, the princes and princesses other than the prince, And everyone is a dragon and a phoenix among people."

"Naturally, but, in fact, there is a prince whom I have never seen before, and I have seen it a while ago."

"Oh? I don't know which prince is so lucky to be seen by the national teacher?"

Zhou Yi smiled without saying a word.

Xie Qianchou, as the prince's secret player, often switches identities with him, pretending to be the prince.

It turned out that he had met the other party thousands of times when he was still a national teacher.

It was only now that he realized that this person had been silently following behind him.

Xie Qianchou is not a proud son of heaven, he is even an unlucky ghost with a shining star.His appearance is not as handsome as the prince's, so that the heavens are jealous, his personality is not too good, he often gives up on himself, and he is not a cheerful person. In private, he is even teased by his classmates as Xie Qian.The only specialty is probably taking the blame and wagging the tail.

The more Zhou Yi thought about it, the more disgusted he felt.

But thinking about it again, I feel happy again.

Xie Qianchou only has one point, but he will give it all to Zhou Yi.

***

The three days were neither long nor short, and passed quickly.

During this period, Zhou Yi and Xie Qianchou had never met each other in view of the fact that they had to act in secrecy, and they all communicated by means of communication unique to the Taoist sect.The prince didn't know it yet, but the two of them had already merged.

All arrangements are being carried out secretly under the dark tide.

The unhappiness that day seemed to make Prince Chenghui very suffocated. He was a prince who wanted wind and rain, so he stumbled on Zhou Yi, and naturally he secretly held grudges.At the same time, bad news came from Anbu about the plan to assassinate Xie Qianchou and replace him, and even the two killers who were in charge of carrying out the mission also lost news, which made the prince's already bad mood even more gloomy.

In the palace, the Third Prince had many hidden guards around him, and it was inconvenient for him to let the dark guards attack him.

Finally, three days later.

The celebration banquet was held.

***

In the evening, the sky was not yet dark, but the palace was already brightly lit.Even in the imperial city outside the imperial palace, every household hung up beaming lanterns, as if silently celebrating the victory of the war.

Zhou Yi stayed in the Guanxing Pavilion, predicting today's fortune.

After putting away the divination hexagrams, he changed into a light blue robe, with his black hair loosely draped, and walked out of the Star Picking Pavilion followed by Father-in-law Sibao.Considering the image problem, although Zhou Yi has always preferred the black color that is resistant to dirt, he can only wear white clothes all day long to add immortality to himself.Today is the day of the banquet, so it is inconvenient to be white, so he changed his color specially.

As soon as he walked out of Guanxing Pavilion, Zhou Yi saw many people standing at the door.

The leaders were two beautiful women who were over [-] years old and dressed in red palace attire. Although the celebration banquet was a big feast, it was not a solemn ceremony, so the female family members in the palace could also attend in palace attire.And beside the two women, stood a man in brocade robes.One year is younger, only twelve or thirteen years old, and has not yet reached the crown; the other...

Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Is this His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

Xie Qianchou blinked at him.

Eunuch Sibao was a little surprised: "The national teacher actually recognizes His Royal Highness the Third Prince?"

"It's been a long time." Zhou Yi opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Holding the fly whisk in the armrest, Eunuch Sibao respectfully recommended Zhou Yi as he didn't want to say too much: "This is Concubine Ying and His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince, and the one standing with His Royal Highness the Third Prince is Concubine Ye." Concubine Ye is the biological mother of the Third Prince.

Zhou Yi cupped his hands and saluted: "I have seen the two empresses, the two highnesses."
