forget the river

Chapter 18

I don't know whether he listened to Duan En's comfort, or finally let go of his restraint, but Kyung Luo really fell asleep in Duan En's arms.Duan En didn't stop patting the emperor's back until the sound of even and relaxed breathing and heart sounds sounded in his ears.

Up and down, slapping rhythmically, the way his mother had done to him, a simple, gentle movement he knew would be reassuring.When Kyung Luo was already soundly asleep, Duan En thought about it more, and the blood spread from the neck to the ears.In a panic, he threw the emperor on the bed, only to hear Kyung Luo snort impatiently, but he still didn't wake up.

Duan En took off the silver mask, sat cross-legged on the couch not far away for rest, looked at Kyung Luo from a distance, the king of a country sleeps like a child, and couldn't help but laugh.Kyung Luo slept peacefully all night, but Duan Eun, he never expected that he who always had to think a lot before speaking would blurt out, and it was really embarrassing to say such a nasty thing.

Also because of the embarrassment, Kyung Luo woke up early the next morning and didn't see Duan En.

Duan En was originally good at hiding his figure, but now he used his housekeeping skills to avoid Kyung Luo, hiding his aura so hard to find.Kyung Luo had already guessed that Duan En would have such a reaction, so he didn't pursue it, and simply let him go. Anyway, Duan En has always done his duty, as a personal shadow guard, he can't run too far.

It's dawn, it's time to wait and change clothes.Kyung Luo, who got up early, continued to lie down without seeing Duan Eun.There was a rustling sound outside, probably the palace servants came to take care of the wash.Kyung Luo waited, waited for a long time, couldn't bear to sit up from the bed, only to see a small head timidly sticking his head in, it was a young student from Yandian, probably young, and was pushed away first by the duty behind came in.

Seeing that he was a half-grown child, Kyungra smiled and waved to Tongsheng.Tongsheng entered the palace late and had never seen the emperor.It was my first time serving as a waiter, and I heard that the emperor was in a bad mood these days and got angry easily.Being pushed into the inner room by a few big sisters first, he was so frightened that his hands and feet went limp.Unexpectedly, the emperor, who everyone said was like a Rakshasa, was so good-looking, and even smiled at himself.When someone called him into the house, Tong Sheng laughed and ran a few steps before falling to the ground on his face.Kyungra was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

The few palace servants who followed Tong Sheng into the room were slightly stunned, and when they came to their senses, they rushed over to help Tong Sheng up, and then fell to the ground to admit their mistake.After getting the decree, he got up and served the emperor again.

It's natural to be in a daze.Who is called Emperor Kyungmin a few days ago, he obviously has a good-looking face that is either tense or cold.The palace servants who were serving on duty were not worried one day, for fear that an emperor who was inattentive and angered would not get good results.

But today's emperor is quite different. Although he can't talk about spring breeze, he is much more mellow.The few palace servants who were on duty today couldn't help but be overjoyed and relieved.I don't know where the god came from, but he comforted Emperor Min so well.

The palace people who served the emperor on duty today were all mournful. In recent days, Emperor Min had a cold face besides a sullen face, for fear that he would make the emperor angry if he accidentally made a mistake.But I saw that although the emperor didn't have a spring breeze on his face, he was a lot more relaxed. I don't know what kind of god and man comforted the emperor so well.Therefore, they are also relieved a lot.

These days Kyung Rak doesn't care about everything.Therefore, the burden of managing major affairs falls on Kyung Sang.The see-off after the great sacrifice was also done by the mirror image of the Seven Princes.A few days ago, several princes and princesses left the capital one after another, and the second prince stayed until the end because of helping Jingxiang.

Today, Kyungsang sent Kyungsung away.The two of them didn't part with each other nor treasured each other, Jingxiang treated Jingsheng just like other brothers and sisters, and stopped after sending the second prince and his party to the official road.This is the last thing after the ceremony, and when it is done, Kyungsang returns to his command.

The official road was only a few miles away from the imperial city, and Jingxiang soon returned to the palace, and was guided by the inner eunuch to the study where Jingluo often stayed. Kyungxiang wanted to enter the room several times, but stopped.Naturally, he didn't intend to see the emperor's amiable face as soon as the door was opened, but thinking about communicating with the cold-faced Kyung Luo, he still couldn't help but feel a little nervous.After holding back for a long time, I finally made up my mind.

Before Jingxiang entered, he knocked on the door very seriously. The vermilion door was already wide open, and when Kyunglo heard the noise, he looked up.Seeing that the person who came was Jingxiang, he shook his head and laughed at his unnecessary actions. He held his cheek and beckoned Brother Seven like a big yellow dog in the backyard.

On the contrary, Kyungxiang couldn't help being taken aback for a moment, and then let out a long breath.It was just before stepping over the threshold that Kyung-hsiang's eyes drifted away, and he carefully inspected the beams, screens, bookshelves, places where people could hide or could not hide, and then he entered the door with peace of mind.

"Is that shadow guard of yours not here?" Kyung Xiang patted his chest, last time it was the scabbard that pointed at him, this time it might be the sword edge.

Kyunglo laughed, and then remembered that Kyungsang was in this place last time, and was terrified by Duan En, "He is still in this room, but he is hiding from me and refuses to come out. I guess it is you who came, so I don't bother to come out again." Make sense."

"Oh? Are you acting like an emperor and bullying the little guard, an honest man?" Jingxiang still had the leisure to tease Kyungluo.

"I'm different from Seventh Brother, you always bully Lu Mocheng. Speaking of which, you were the one who saw him off when Jingsheng left Beijing today. How long have you been gone? Why don't you stay with Second Brother?" Luo smiled at Jingxiang, the smile was harmless, but he quietly picked up a little cinnabar from the porcelain plate and melted it on his fingertips, flicked it slightly, and it landed on the center of Jingxiang's eyebrows.

Jingxiang didn't notice anything different, but felt a little itchy between his brows, and scratched left and right, his upright face turned into a painted cat.Kyungra suppressed a smile, turned his face away, and coughed lightly twice.Kyungsang didn't care, so he found a place to sit down by himself. "What's the use of keeping it? Don't do unsolvable problems, there will be no results, but you, it's time to leave an heir."

Jingxiang only said half a sentence, and saw that Kyungluo just let out a long sigh and looked out of the window as if he was about to mention it again, so he gave up.Huh?When did this study see the light again?I was too busy to notice a while ago, when did Kyungra remove all the black curtains around it?

"By the way, I asked Mo Cheng to investigate what you said last time." Kyung Luo suddenly remembered Lu Mo Cheng's entry into the palace yesterday, and hurriedly talked to Kyung Xiang.

"Oh?" Jingxiang became more energetic, "I didn't expect that stupid big man to have some skills, how did the investigation go?"

"It's almost the same as our hypothesis. It's just that the businessman surnamed Liao who was in charge of responding at that time was confirmed dead, and the clues were cut off from him." At that time, it was not that Lu Mocheng did not continue to search for clues from the businessman's family and friends, but it was just a big house. Among them, so people are almost like disappearing from the world.

When Lu Mocheng's men arrived, there was only an empty room left in front of and behind the house. The inside and outside were counted, and all the valuables were there.It's just that there were traces of rummaging through boxes and cabinets in the house, and some silver taels were lost, but none of the other valuable calligraphy, paintings and antiques were lost.I'm afraid that after the family disappeared collectively, a few thieves who didn't know the goods came.

Lu Mocheng saw that the Liao family didn't even have time to pack up their valuables, either because they left in a hurry, or they were bloodbathed overnight.Judging from the situation in the courtyard, it has been too long and it is difficult to trace back, so we have to secretly seal up the Liao Mansion for the time being.

The clues that Lu Mocheng found were broken, and it is estimated that there is nothing else to be found.As a last resort, we had to put it on hold for further discussion.

At that time, Jingxiang brought up this old matter again, not only to prove his guess, but also for Kyungluo.

Today, the rebellious traitor Kyungkang is still alive. Although a lot of power has been cut off, his power is still there, and his ambition may still exist, so he has to be more vigilant.In the early years, Kyungkang was just a mere prince, how could he contact the east and west forces by himself, and even raise troops and funds in just a few years, until the last moment the truth came out.

After thinking about this, Kyungxiang expressed his guess to Kyunglo, how could Kyungkang have done this if it hadn't been for the intervention of other countries.

Kyung Luo thinks carefully and agrees with Kyung Hsiang.Perhaps Kyungkang is selling his country's interests in exchange for funding from other countries.It's a pity that for such a huge conspiracy, the whole process was only covered by Liao as a businessman to facilitate the entry and exit of customs, and to make one-way contact.After Liao's clue was cut off, he could no longer find another entry point.

But knowing this, you can understand that some countries are eyeing the country, and they should resist foreign aggression instead of guarding against internal troubles. It is very important to find out who the mastermind is.

"Actually, if you want to know where the power behind it comes from, there is actually a more direct entry point." Kyung Luo said.

Kyungsang also suddenly realized, no wonder Kylo was not in a hurry at all, "You mean Kyungkang?"

Kyung-ra smiled, "If you ask him again after the time has passed, it may arouse Kyung-kang's unnecessary suspicion. It's better to have a long-term discussion on this matter."

Jingxiang was about to nod his head in agreement when he heard an urgent call from outside the door, "Master Bingsheng, something is wrong!"

Kyungra raised his eyebrows, "Stand up and answer."

"Yuanzhong Wang... Kyungkang died of illness!"

Kyung Sang stood up abruptly, glaring at Ji Chuanbing angrily.Kyung Luo patted the back of his hand, "How did King Yuanzhong die?" The soldiers rushed back, and King Yuanzhong heard the news of the Queen Mother's death, but he didn't wait for the letter of amnesty to return to Beijing, and died depressed.Kyung Luo responded, and let the rushing soldiers retreat.

Back then when Kyungkang attempted to kill the king and hurt his mother, he didn't see any ties of flesh and blood to him. If it was said that he died of depression because of this, no one would believe him.

Kyung Luo and Kyung Sang looked at each other, "Maybe... there will be a ghost between us."

Kyung Xiang nodded thoughtfully, dipped his fingers in the tea, wrote two words on the table, "Investigate." and left in a hurry.
