Chapter 59 Call

In a blink of an eye, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the gifts in the palace were given to Huo Qiyu's house as usual. Huo Qiyu also changed into his court uniform and knelt down to thank him. As usual, he gave silver to the eunuch who came to give gifts, but he saw that the eunuch had a difficult look on his face and frowned at him.

Huo Qiyu was puzzled and saw him gnaring at himself and the gift box. And there was also an eunuch around him, but it seemed that he was specially sent to monitor him.

Huo Qiyu was alarmed, but his face did not show any. He still gave them a lot of money and sent it out in person.

The eunuch who made his eyes nervous and didn't know whether Huo Qiyu understood what he meant.

Huo Qiyu deliberately ignored his inquiring eyes and watched the man go away dejectedly before turning back home.

He came to his room with the gift box in his hand and ordered his servants to retreat before opening the gift box.

There are only some regular palace mooncakes in the gift box, which are no different.

Huo Qiyue didn't believe it. He broke the snacks piece by piece and finally found a small note in a piece of egg yolk lotus paste moon cake.

He opened it and saw that his face changed greatly. He punched the table fiercely, shaking the crumbs of cake.

"That's ridiculous!" Huo Qiyu secretly scolded that the king of a country had been held hostage to such a situation. If he wanted to summon his ministers to enter the palace, he also had to choose such a method.

The emperor is very depressed these days. Princess Li and the Eighth Prince have persuaded him to meditate more than once. However, they obviously underestimated the vitality of the king. He still survived under Ren Qiu's prescription. How could he give up his throne so easily?

But he didn't let go for a day, and the Noble Concubine Li and the Eighth Prince refused to let him live a happy life for a day.

Although he has stopped taking Renqiu's medicine, his bones have long been eroded. He just came to his senses. It turned out that his favorite concubine and son were the last person in the world that didn't want him to live.

He wanted to ask for help, but the government was under the control of the Eighth Prince. The only thing he could do was to protect the tiger charm. If even the tiger charm fell into the hands of the Eighth Prince, he would hardly think about how he would be treated by him.

Anyway, the monarchs who killed his father and seized the throne in history books are not one or two. He does not doubt that the Eighth Prince has such cruelty.

It was not until then that he began to miss the dead empress dowager and Xue Zhen, who was demoted to Qiyi by him. At least they would not want to harm him.

However, it seems that it is too late.

Huo Qiyu sneaked into the palace at night. He turned out to be in charge of the imperial palace, so he naturally had some connections. Although entering the palace was dangerous at this time, it was still within his control.

He followed the close eunuch beside the emperor, the one who came to deliver the letter last time, and did not dare to go to the emperor's bedroom, because the inside and outside of the hall were the minions of Princess Li. Instead, he came to a remote palace and waited. After a long time, he saw the emperor standing like a dead ghost, which shocked Huo Qiyu.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you..." Huo Qiyu quickly helped him sit down. The emperor waved his hand and said, "It's all because I don't practice this disaster."

Although Huo Qiyu was deeply convinced, he did not dare to admit it directly.

The emperor seemed to be very nervous. He kept asking the eunuch for hours and intermittently before he finished telling Huo Qiyu.

Huo Qiyu was speechless for a moment. If he was someone else, he would definitely satirize the other party, but the person in front of him was the emperor. Although he was mediocre, he was different. So he had to kneel down to receive the order, "I will obey the emperor's decree and will not let others know."

The emperor nodded, "I know you have always been safe, otherwise, Lao Jiu would not have been so good with you." Suddenly, he burst into tears, "I'm a king in vain. I can't even distinguish between good and evil. I have no face to see the empress dowager."

Huo Qiyu thought helplessly that sometimes, a momentary mistake is a bitter fruit of a lifetime. It's so simple, how did the emperor understand until now?

Huo Qiyue left the palace according to the original way. The first thing he did was not to go back to his house, but to Shen Yuluo in the west of the city.

Shen Yuluo now lives alone, and she doesn't want a girl after Qinglan disappears. In her heart, Qinglan is Qinglan. Whoever replaces her is sorry for her and the relationship between them.

Huo Qiyu was worried about his safety and found two powerful and knowledgeable servants in his house to live with her.

Shen Yuluo had fallen asleep. Hearing someone's footsteps in a hurry, she quickly got up and dressed. Huo Qiyu didn't dare to be abrupt. He stood in the yard, waiting for her to open the door and didn't sit in. He just lowered his voice and said, "I'm afraid there will be changes in Beijing. I have to send you away."

Shen Yiluo jumped, "What's wrong with my sister and brother-in-law?"

Huo Qiyu shook his head, "It has nothing to do with them for the time being. They are now, but they are also lost."

Shen Yuluo was slightly relieved, "What about the ancestral family? And coral, is there anything wrong?

Huo Yu thought, "It's a good thing that Master Wei has no title now; as for Mrs. Xiang..." He also dared not promise and followed the Eight Prince from far. If the poison succeeds, he can't say for the title of marquis, but if the horse loses its front, it will be a great disaster to destroy the family.

Huo Yu didn't want to make any false promises to Shen Yuluo. He said vaguely, "Marry a chicken with a chicken and a dog with a dog. Since she has done it for her family, she can only share the honor and disgrace with Xiang's family. Everything can only be done by herself."

Shen Yuluo frowned. Although she couldn't rest assured of the coral, it must be an urgent matter for Huo Qiyu to come late at night. She alone is already a burden for him, so how can she take away the corals in his name?

Huo Qiyu remembered that that day, Shen Coral pretended to be a maid and ventured to run to Weifu to deliver letters, and then turned around to comfort Shen Yuluo. "I don't think the young lady is such a stupid woman. She is also brave and resourceful. You don't have to worry about it, and she will also take care of herself."

Shen Yuluo had to nod, "I hope so. Now that I want to save her, I'm afraid she won't recognize me."

Huo Qiyu quickly interrupted her and continued, "So I made up my decision. You clean up well. I will pick you up tomorrow and make up with another person, and he will escort you to the north."

He looked at Shen Yuluo and smiled, "That's where the 'Wei Army' is located, and it is also separated by a river from Muto. The folk customs are simple and the scenery is magnificent. You are more reassuring there than in this bloody Qiongjiang."

Shen Yuluo didn't say anything. He looked up for half a day and looked at Huo Qiyu as if he wanted to say something. Huo Qiye's face was slightly hot and he also looked at her. But she still said nothing and only saluted him deeply. "I can't forget the kindness of Commander Huo. I just hope that Qiongjiang will settle down in the future, and I will see you again then."

Huo Qiyu smiled reluctantly, "I will."

Shen Yingluo said in a low voice, "That's good."

Huo Qiyu watched her turn around and go back to the room. She stood for a long time and suddenly felt nothing interesting. The moonlight was like frost, sprinkled in the yard, a lonely and empty scene. Huo Qiyue looked at the moon and left with a wry smile.

After that, Xue Zhen listened to him repeat the story and beat his chest, "You idiot! My aunt means that there is something wrong with it! Why can't you even understand a person's words? It's really confusing!"

Huo Qiyu was confused, "I thought it was a polite word." ......

When the emperor saw Huo Qiyu leave, he held the eunuch's hand and slowly walked to the bedroom. They dare not walk the road, but walk on an unmanned path. The moonlight shone on the cobblestone road, and the green grass around it was also stained with a layer of frost. Although it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, it was a winter-like scenery, which matched the emperor's mood at this time.

"Xiao Shunzi, do you think I am a very bad emperor?" Xiao Quanzi has defected to Li Guifei, and there is only one Xiao Shunzi around the emperor who is trustworthy. Hearing the emperor's question, he quickly shook his head and said, "The emperor is as wise as the ancient sage."

The emperor laughed and said, "You really don't know how to lie. In this case, I'm afraid you won't believe it from the bottom of your heart."

Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground and cried, "I don't know anything about the truth. I only know that the slave's sister made a mistake, and the Empress Dowager's wife would have been punished. If it hadn't been for the emperor's words, the slave's sister would have died long ago, and she would not have been released from the palace after the age of 25. Now she has recruited her brother-in-law at home. Although she is poor, But I lived a stable life. I only have a relative of my sister. I don't know whether the emperor is a wise monarch or not. I only know that the emperor is the benefactor of the slave, and I will die for the emperor!"

The emperor was a little surprised that he had forgotten about it for a long time. However, there is God's will in the dark. He is mediocre all his life, but if he does a good thing without opinions, Xiao Shunzi can still use it for him at this time and invite Huo Qiyu to come out of the palace for him. Maybe things will turn around.

The emperor suddenly felt that there seemed to be a touch of moonlight in his heart. He helped Xiao Shunzi with his own hand, "I know your loyalty. Let's go back."

Xiao Shunzi wiped a handful of tears and held the emperor tightly, making him press more than half of the weight of his old, sick and thin body on himself. The master and servant walked on the thin path, leaving a long and narrow shadow pulled by the moonlight.

The two walked for a long time before arriving at the bedroom. He did not dare to enter through the main door, but came in from the place where the slaves walked. Xiao Shunzi creptly bolted the door and helped the emperor quietly go to bed.

The bedroom is dark, and only a few lights are on outside.

The emperor sat on the couch and breathed a sigh of relief. Just as he was about to lie down, he heard a cold female voice saying, "Where is it so late, where has the emperor?"

The emperor was so scared that the light suddenly lit up. Princess Li stood on the ground in a golden-red palace costume. She wore a nine phoenix crowns on her head, and the pearls in the phoenix's mouth walked with tremblingly.

She slowly approached the emperor, "Why did the emperor go out again if he didn't have a good rest at this late hour?"

Before the emperor answered, a fierce look flashed in Li Guifei's eyes. She turned to Xiao Shunzi, "You dog slave, you know that the emperor is seriously ill. How can you take the emperor out of the bedroom so late? You have to kill it!"

Xiao Shunzi knelt on the ground, heard that she had sentenced herself to death, and repeatedly called for help, "Your Majesty, save me!"

Before the emperor could stop Princess Li, he had rushed in several eunuchs. Headed by Xiao Quanzi, he pulled Xiao Shunzi out.

"You, you treacherous concubine, do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes?"
