kill that paranoid emperor

Chapter 25

(This is the second update)

Su Rong thought for a moment that he was hallucinating: "What did Your Majesty say?"

Yue Sheng still had no expression on his face, and calmly repeated: "Pack up your things and move to Xingyun Pavilion."

Su Rong's tone was puzzled: "What am I doing in Xingyun Pavilion?"

Xingyun Pavilion is Yue Sheng's current residence, the hall is not big, with simple furnishings, it is his daily living and eating place.

Yue Sheng turned around, walked towards the entrance of the hall, and said casually, "Protect Gu with your body."

Su Rong: "..."

Did he hear correctly?Yue Sheng is more bloody than he can beat himself, and he actually asks a sick man to protect him personally?

Su Rong deeply suspected that his greatest usefulness might be to pounce on Yue Sheng as cannon fodder when he was assassinated.

Looking at Yue Sheng's stern and straight back, he fell into deep thought.

After dinner, Yue Sheng kept remembering what he had ordered in the afternoon, and looked around the hall, but he didn't see Su Rong, so he asked Ji Fu, who was waiting on the side, seemingly unintentionally: "Where is Fang Xuelan?" ?”

Ji Fu claimed to be Yue Sheng's closest servant, so he naturally found out the situation of Fang Xuelan, a "fox spirit".

But he changed his mind, and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang will go back this afternoon."

Yue Sheng let out a "hmm", it was rare that he wasn't impatient with Ji Fu's nonsense, and asked patiently, "I just want to know, where is he now?"

Ji Fu lowered his brows and narrowed his eyes: "This... the slave doesn't know too well. But Mr. Fang always does his own way and doesn't listen to discipline. Maybe there is something else going on."

Although he didn't want to answer Yue Sheng's question, he could secretly hurt that wicked Fang Xuelan.

Ji Fu was not at all willing to send someone to look for Su Rong. In his opinion, Fang Xuelan's seduction would obviously be detrimental to Yue Cheng.

Yue Sheng thoughtfully bent his fingers, tapped the table twice, and said calmly: "Ji Fu, how many years have you been by Gu's side?"

Ji Fu didn't understand why he suddenly mentioned this: "Return to Your Majesty, it has been 15 years."

Not long after Yue Sheng was taken back to the palace by the late Emperor, Ji Fu had already been sent to his side. If you count carefully, Ji Fu really watched Yue Sheng grow up.

Yue Sheng paused for a moment, and then said, "Didn't it teach you not to overstep the rules in 15 years?"

Ji Fu was startled, knelt down hastily, kowtowed and said, "I dare not."

Yue Sheng silently looked at Ji Fu who was kneeling on the ground. This eunuch who had been with him for 15 years was already past his forties, and his back was bent.

Ji Fu waited in fear for Yue Sheng to make a sound, and sweat dripped from his forehead unknowingly.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the other palace people in Xingyun Pavilion also knelt down. The atmosphere inside and outside the hall was oppressive, and everyone was panicked.

"I just remember, back when Su Rong was still there," Yue Cheng finally spoke, which made Ji Fu even more terrified, "You often played tricks behind your back."

Ji Fu kowtowed twice: "Your Majesty! How dare a slave..."

"Gu once mentioned it to the Taifu," Yue Sheng continued as if he didn't hear him at all, "Will it cause trouble to him if you do this?"

Ji Fu didn't know that Yue Sheng understood everything in his heart, thinking of what he had done, Ji Fu trembled slightly.

Yue Sheng paused for a moment, as if reminiscing about the past, and then said after a while: "But the Taifu said, it is my luck to have such a loyal servant like you by my side. He didn't take what you did to him. , I don’t need to care about it if I advise Gu Gu.”

Ji Fu was stunned for a moment, obviously he didn't expect Su Rong to comment on him like this.This made him feel a little mixed.

He had been by the little prince's side when Yue Sheng was five years old. When Yue Sheng was young, he was not taken seriously and was bullied. Most of the palace people who followed him ran away, but Ji Fu persisted.

He blocked other people's fists and feet for Yue Cheng, and he also risked his life to rush out to protect the Lord. He watched everyone around him vigilantly, lest someone would harm Yue Cheng.

He watched Yue Sheng grow from an undisciplined child to the current lord of the world with his own eyes, and Ji Fu felt relieved, but at the same time felt a little secretly ecstatic.

None of those things that were seen as inferior by the eyes of dogs back then had a good end, only his accumulation of blessings was the real bet on the right treasure.

Yue Sheng looked down at him, not ignoring Ji Fu's momentary relaxation and complacency, and his voice became colder: "Zeng Gu also thought so, loyalty is indeed the most important thing."

"But when Taifu died in Gu's arms, Gu understood." Yue Sheng's eyes were as cold as ice, "Someone may not hurt Gu, but they will kill the people around Gu."

"Beyond the rules, presumptuously guessing Gu's will, persecuting and humiliating others in the name of 'loyalty'. If this is the price of your loyalty..."

Yue Sheng's eyes fell on Ji Fu's back, and his tone was low: "Gu would rather not have this double-edged sword that benefits oneself and hurts others."

Ji Fu stayed for a while before he understood what Yue Sheng was talking about. He opened his eyes wide and raised his voice unconsciously: "Your Majesty, the slave did not harm Prime Minister Su!"

Yue Sheng raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea, and said indifferently, "I believe in you, but I won't leave you alone."

"Ji Fu, as the chief eunuch, has repeatedly speculated about his intentions and has ulterior motives." Under Ji Fu's surprised and sad eyes, Yue Sheng said calmly, "Except for the chief eunuch status and relegation to civilians, from now on. Expelled from the palace and not allowed to stay any longer."

Ji Fu collapsed on the ground: "Your Majesty, the slave is wrong...The slave is also for your own good..."

Yue Sheng put down the teacup, and immediately a guard came in and dragged Ji Fu out.Ji Fu clung to the wooden threshold of Xingyun Pavilion, sobbing: "Your Majesty! I beg Your Majesty not to expel the servant from the palace, the servant must stay in the palace to protect His Majesty..."

It wasn't until Ji Fu's voice disappeared that Yue Sheng closed his eyes and sighed almost invisibly.

As soon as Su Rong arrived at Xingyun Pavilion, he was shocked to see Ji Fu being dragged away crying and howling.

Seeing a large circle of palace people kneeling outside Xingyun Pavilion, Su Rong stopped and glanced at those trembling palace people, thinking more and more, could it be possible to kill someone inside?

Look at how frightened these young court ladies and eunuchs are.

Ji Fu was dragged away suddenly, Yue Sheng didn't have a eunuch in charge beside him, all the palace people were anxious and looked at each other for a while, but they didn't want to step forward to be the first bird.

When everyone was waiting with bated breath, a little eunuch suddenly got up at the gate of the hall, bent over and ran into the hall, lowered his head and said to Yue Sheng: "Your Majesty, Mr. Fang is waiting outside."

Yue Sheng: "Why don't you come in?"

The little eunuch said: "Slave, go and invite Mr. Fang to come in."

This handsome young eunuch ran towards Su Rong and invited him into the hall after saluting.

When seeing Yue Sheng, Su Rong asked, "Why was Ji Fu taken away?"

The surrounding palace people were silently startled, thinking that Fang Xuelan was really bold, and Yue Sheng was really pampering him.

Old people like Ji Fu who stayed by His Majesty's side were expelled from the palace, but Fang Xuelan, who appeared out of nowhere, was able to make Yue Sheng act abnormally many times.

The palace people looked at each other with doubts in their eyes.Could it be that the rumors circulating these days are all true?

Hearing Su Rong's question, Yue Sheng said calmly, "I have been expelled from the palace after repeated admonitions."

Su Rong was stunned for a moment, with a surprised look on his face, but he didn't ask why, but said: "Ji Fu is getting old, and he has no father, mother, and children. I'm afraid there is no way to survive outside the palace."

Yue Sheng: "Gu has ordered someone to prepare a mansion and silver for him, which can be regarded as his income from years of hard work."

Su Rong nodded, since Yue Sheng had made arrangements, he didn't bother to plead for Ji Fu anymore.In Su Rong's eyes, although a loyal slave like Ji Fu is rare, he is not unique.

Yue Sheng has his own reasons for doing things, as long as he is not ungrateful and indiscriminately killing innocent people, Su Rong doesn't care.

Yue Sheng glanced behind Su Rong, saw that his hands were empty, frowned and asked, "Where are the things you brought?"

Su Rong had already prepared his speech, and said in a calm tone, "There are too many sundries, and I haven't cleaned them up for a while. It may take two days before I can live in Xingyun Pavilion."

Yue Sheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "There's no need to move, I will order someone to prepare ordinary clothes for you, so you can stay here tonight."

Su Rong: "..."

The palace servants kneeling beside them began to wink at each other.

Su Rong had no choice but to stay in Xingyun Pavilion, Yue Sheng did not go to the imperial study room tonight, but stayed in the sleeping hall rarely, reading books under the lamp.

The palace people scattered around, and before leaving, they sized up Su Rong with suspicious and ambiguous eyes.

Su Rong looked at their expressions and suspected that after tonight, his reputation would never be cleared.

At that time, among the people, he will be Yue Sheng's only favorite minister on the couch.

Su Rong: ...What's going on, it's a little exciting to think about it.

The nonsensical thought passed in his mind for a moment, Su Rong snuffed it out, and looked helplessly at Yue Sheng beside the desk.

Yue Cheng seemed to have completely forgotten that there was such a "close body guard" in the palace, staring at the book in his hand solemnly.

It's just that Su Rong rested his chin and looked at him for a long time, only to find that Yue Sheng hadn't turned over a single page.

Su Rong: "..."

Today's Yue Sheng became strange again.

Not only did he suddenly let himself move to Xingyun Pavilion, but he also looked preoccupied, lest others would not notice that he was sitting at the table in a daze.

Yue Sheng wasn't actually in a daze, he was just suddenly a little at a loss.

Ever since Su Rong's identity was confirmed, "Fang Xuelan"'s every move was magnified in his eyes, and various small details that had been overlooked also emerged, and Yue Sheng felt a little at a loss for a while.

He...hasn't seen Su Rong for three years, and according to the news from Xue Dao's inquiries, Fang Xuelan became behaving abnormally some time ago, Yue Sheng can almost be sure that the previous Fang Xuelan was not Su Rong Rong himself.

Then how did Su Rong become Fang Xuelan?

Yue Sheng couldn't figure it out, and he was even more unwilling to think deeply. He had been sitting alone on that high and cold throne for too long. For more than 1000 days and nights, his longing and pain turned into an inescapable cocoon, binding him firmly. , at a glance, the end of the rest of his life is indifferent and frosty.

And this established ending was suddenly shattered.

Su Rong is now beside him, not far behind him, within his reach, as long as he turns his head, he can see that person.

Even though they have different appearances and different identities, they are still his tutor.

There was a scene in the dream that fell down like a mirror, and Yue Sheng subconsciously refused to think about why Su Rong became Fang Xuelan, and why he deliberately kept it from himself, not telling the truth.

Yue Sheng was unwilling, let alone dared to think about it.

"Your Majesty," Su Rong's voice suddenly came from beside his ears, Yue Sheng came back to his senses, and heard him say, "I'm sleepy, can I go to the side hall to sleep?"

If it was an ordinary guard, it would be absolutely impossible to say such a thing in front of Yue Sheng, but Su Rong felt that since Yue Sheng was already so abnormal, he shouldn't care about himself.

Sure enough, Yue Sheng said: "Then go to sleep."

Su Rong responded, and was about to go out, but Yue Sheng said behind him: "Let the palace servants spread out the bedding, you sleep here."

"?" Su Rong turned around and asked again: "Where do I sleep?"

Yue Sheng didn't speak, but following his gaze, Su Rong saw the dragon bed not far away, the monotonous bed curtain, the dark gray bed, the hard looking pillows, and a neatly folded bed. Dark gray quilt.Other than that, there are no decorations.

Like an ascetic, Su Rong thought.

After a while, Su Rong suddenly came to his senses and turned pale with shock: "I want to sleep on Your Majesty's dragon bed?!"

Yue Sheng was quiet for a while, and then said: "According to the rules, you should sleep on the floor. But..."

But the ground would catch cold and it was very hard, how could Yue Sheng be willing to let Su Rong sleep on the ground.

Su Rong met his gaze and felt that he was going to die.
