Chapter 171 The little prince is playing hard to get with me!

Everyone in the room was shocked after hearing Jian Yue's words, and looked at him in surprise.

Gao Fei, who was closest to Jian Yue, widened his eyes.

The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked at first, but when they saw the expressions of Jian Yue's teammates, they naturally wanted to laugh:

"Ahahahaha, my teammates are all shocked."

"Butler Wang, your train of thought is still so shocking."

"As a man, you should be like Butler Wang and dare to think and act!"

Of course, there are still many people who think that this idea is too shocking and does not seem real.

However, Jian Yue had already started to work. He stood up and began to spread the drawing paper on the table.

Other players said: "Will it be dangerous if we do this? What if the painting gets angry and it becomes more dangerous for us?"

Jian Yue said: "If you don't provoke it, will it let you go?"

The others were silent for a moment.

Gao Fei said: "I think the little prince is right. What's more, even if something really happens, there are so many of us here. Can't we all lend a hand and help each other?"

After hearing this, everyone felt relieved.

It wasn't because of any other reasons, but because they found that in just a short while, the color of the person in the painting seemed to have become darker, which was clearly a reaction because he heard a group of people talking. From this point of view, the painting really could not be left on the wall any longer, so it would be better to put it away!

As for the new painting, the colors aren't as dark as this one anyway. How can it be more terrifying than this one?

This matter is revealed by comparison.

After this comparison, everyone basically agreed with the act of painting.

Gao Fei came over and said, "Brother, let me help you grind the ink."

The other players didn't want to sit there anymore, so they stood up and came to help. Some helped to move the table, while others got up and brought candles to help with lighting. Suddenly everyone started to move, breaking the deathly silence in the tent. The terrifying atmosphere originally brought by the painting naturally dissipated a lot.

After the ink was ground, Jian Yue picked up the paintbrush and began to trace the grinding marks according to the painting on the wall.

Slowly.

Painting and painting.

Jian Yue looked at the marks on the drawing paper. He had never felt this way before he drew it himself. Only after drawing it himself could he feel the wonder behind this building. He said, "Look at this road in the painting. The shape and stripes of this road seem to be something I have never seen in the palace before."

This is clearly the road leading to the palace, but it feels very unfamiliar.

Gao Fei came over and said thoughtfully, "I have been following Eunuch Liu these past two days. He said that the roads outside the palace are made of the best materials and must be uniform. This kind of stripes should not be from the palace."

That's strange.

If it wasn't a path inside the palace, why would it lead to the palace in the painting?

Everyone looked at each other.

Jian Yue was drawing with the drawing paper in hand. When he came to the city wall, he pointed at the lantern on the wall and said, "This lantern is not of recent style either."

Gao Fei immediately said: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs should have records, which may be able to unlock the secret of this painting!"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "But if we want to check some records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, we can only do so after we return to the palace. Now we are in the mountains, so it is not convenient."

That is true.

Everyone could only record this clue secretly.

In just the time it took to talk, Jian Yue had already finished the painting. His painting skills had improved a lot now. Although it was not a 100% restoration, he could imitate it to be pretty similar.

Jian Yue said: "Hang it up and see."

The previous paintings were immediately put back into the box by everyone, and the new painting painted by Jian Yue was hung up. For some reason, although they were the same paintings, everyone felt inexplicably relieved after this painting was hung up, and the originally dark and depressing atmosphere dissipated a lot.

Gao Fei sat on the bed and said, "Let's go to sleep."

Everyone lay down, and Jian Yue followed suit. He thought he would have a good sleep tonight, but the moment he closed his eyes, sleepiness came over him, and when he opened his eyes again, he was back to the black misty path in the painting.

Jian Yue: “…”

What was supposed to come finally came.

Returning to this path again, Jian Yue actually no longer felt the fear he had when he first came here. The fog around him was still so thick that except for this path, you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

Jian Yue thought about it and walked forward along the path again.

This time the road seemed to be shorter than last time, and before long he heard the rustling sound of dancing bells again. In the silent night, it seemed close to his ears, yet as if it were far away in the horizon.

Jian Yue paused.

Not far away, a figure in white was wearing a mask and dancing a blessing dance, muttering: "May the auspicious signs from heaven bless me, Daqian..."

Under the dark red palace wall and city tower, this figure floated like a shadow, making people feel a little creepy and horrified.

After just a moment of distraction, the man in white disappeared.

Jian Yue was feeling somewhat confused when he heard the sound of wind behind him. He felt a chill on his back and turned around to see the hollow mask full of fangs enlarged in front of him, as if it would bite him viciously in the next second!

"Fuck..."

Jian Yue quickly took a step back, and then he heard the voice of the man in white fall into his ears: "Do you want to dance with us?"

It’s the same repetitive question.

The audience in the live broadcast room saw this familiar scene happening again and thought that Jian Yue was going to continue to make excuses for his misfortune, but they didn't expect this.

Jian Yue said: "Okay!"

Not only the audience, but even the people in white were dumbfounded.

Jian Yue said, "But my limbs are not coordinated, so it will take a lot of effort for me to dance with you. If you want to be my teacher, I also need to know who you are. At least tell me your name first?"

This is the first player who dares to ask the monsters' names.

The face of the man in white under the mask seemed to be dazed for a moment, and then under Jian Yue's gaze, his originally low voice suddenly became very hoarse, and he said: "I am... Xiao... Xiao"

Xiao?

Jian Yue was trying to listen seriously.

The man in white who was speaking seemed to have something stuck in his throat. He pinched his neck with his hands with long nails, even drawing blood. The bell in his hand also vibrated violently. The surrounding land seemed to be summoned by him. The white bones on the ground reappeared one after another, and some of them were still stained with blood.

After struggling to get out of the ground, he rushed straight towards Jian Yue!

Jian Yue dodged and found that a big hole had been created by the white bones where he had just stood.

“…”

Why is the fighting power still so strong even after death!

In the dark sky, Jian Yue noticed that these bones were a little different from the last ones. This time, they had a lot more clothes and cloth on them. However, because they were too small and covered with blood, he could not tell where these clothes came from. But at the same time, he also found that the bones' power and the time they were unearthed had increased.

It seems that the difficulty of the copy is increasing as the number of days increases.

If he cannot uncover the truth about the Xue family as soon as possible, then every night that comes will be a more difficult life and death situation for him!

Just thinking about it.

Another skeleton rushed over, bringing with it a sharp sound of wind.

Jian Yue cursed softly, turned around and ran to the back, saying as he ran: "I just don't want to dance, is there any need to be so angry?!"

He ran very fast.

When I woke up from the fog again, it was already dawn.

The people around also woke up one after another. After waking up, some of them touched their heads and said they had nightmares, while some people were still sleeping soundly, as if they were still immersed in a beautiful dream.

Gao Fei said: "This is the fifth time I have dreamed of the man in white."

Several other people also said yes.

Only a few who had sweet dreams said: "We don't have any. We have kept the sachet that Aunt Liu gave us last time next to our pillows. If we use it, we won't have nightmares."

Gao Fei asked, "Could it be possible that this sachet is really useful?"

Jian Yue looked at the sachet over there. Even though he was some distance away, he could still smell the not-so-good smell coming from the sachet. His eyes deepened and he said, "I don't know. The ingredients of the sachet are uncertain."

A brave man suggested: "Why don't we open the sachet and take a look? If it is really a good thing, we can make it ourselves in the future, and we don't have to spend gold on Mammy!"

"I tried to open it before, but couldn't." Gao Fei said: "This sachet is sewn tightly and can't be opened by external force."

Everyone frowned.

It is not possible to cut it open with scissors, but such behavior is very risky.

Gao Fei said, "Let's observe for another two days. If there are no side effects, everyone can use it together. Otherwise, if you keep having nightmares and can't sleep well, and you have to work during the day, your body won't be able to bear it."

Everyone nodded, this was the best way now.

After the discussion, everyone stood up.

Outside, the irritable voice of Eunuch Liu was already shouting, "Everyone, get up! It's already so late, you lazy bones!"

Seeing that if they continued shouting they would be beaten, everyone quickly put on their clothes and came out. It was still dark outside, with not even a moon in sight, but the camp had already been set up.

Someone came from the main tent and asked someone from the Clothing Bureau to come over and serve.

Eunuch Liu was very happy and subconsciously called a few of his trusted confidants to go together.

Gao Fei whispered in Jian Yue's ear: "Look at him, he didn't dare to go when the emperor was seriously ill, but now that his majesty has improved, he is eager to go."

Jian Yue said: "It's human nature."

What's more, there is no need for him to argue with Eunuch Liu about such matters. After all, this is still under his control.

Meanwhile, Eunuch Liu arrived at the tent happily, ready to demonstrate his abilities. You should know that it was also him who came to deliver clothes and introduce them to the emperor in the past, although the emperor always ignored him.

But today.

When Eunuch Liu came in, followed by several eunuchs holding plates of clothes, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Emperor."

The room became quiet.

The emperor's eyes fell on him, with an ambiguous meaning. Then Eunuch Liu heard the emperor, who was always moody, say, "Why is it you?"

Eunuch Liu's body stiffened.

If it’s not me, then who should it be?

"That's all." The emperor's voice became indifferent again. Although he said so, everyone could hear that the emperor's voice was somewhat unhappy. He said, "Put down your clothes and go out."

Eunuch Liu nodded quickly, as if he had been saved. After putting the clothes away, he was about to leave when he heard the emperor say, "Do you personally follow the rules and instructions for the palace servants in the clothing department?"

Hearing this, Eunuch Liu couldn't help but recall that Jian Yue and Xiao Dezi had been serving in the imperial court two days ago. Now that His Majesty has recovered, hasn't this two people done a great deed?

Your Majesty, if you say this, it's probably to reward yourself!

Eunuch Liu was so happy when he thought of this that he said quickly, "Your Majesty, I taught you all this."

The words fell.

The emperor laughed meaningfully.

Eunuch Liu:?

The emperor said calmly: "Deduct half a month's salary, and leave."

Eunuch Liu:?!

But the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to ask!

Eunuch Liu came out and wanted to ask about the situation with Chief Steward Zhao, but he couldn't find him. Chief Steward Zhao's little follower said, "The chief steward was severely punished by His Majesty with thirty strokes of the cane yesterday because of his poor care. He is still not well."

Poor care!

Eunuch Liu thought, His Majesty's mood is becoming more and more unpredictable. Even Chief Steward Zhao was beaten, so he was fined half a month's salary. Could it be that the His Majesty thinks he did not serve him closely and that is the punishment?

"I see." Eunuch Liu stuffed some silver into the little follower's pocket and said, "His Majesty's condition has been unstable recently, and even I have been punished. I hope you can give me some advice!"

The little attendant took the silver, looked back, and whispered, "Why didn't the little prince from your clothing department come today?"

For some reason, Eunuch Liu suddenly mentioned Jian Yue: "He stayed in the camp. He has worked hard taking care of His Majesty these past two days. I just wanted to let him have a rest, didn't I?"

In fact, he is here to grab the credit.

But can’t you say that?

The attendant lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty asked the people in the clothing department when he changed his clothes this morning. He never asked before."

Eunuch Liu was shocked. He didn't expect Jian Yue to be so proud in front of the emperor! He had served in front of the emperor for so many years, but the emperor had never asked him a single question!

The little follower and Eunuch Liu looked at each other.

Eunuch Liu always felt that he might have realized it. No wonder His Majesty had not been interested in women for so many years. It turned out that... it turned out that he had other hobbies! ! He was not smart enough. Little prince, your blessing is still to come! !

Jian Yue in the camp was unaware of this.

I just felt that the way Eunuch Liu looked at me after he came back was a little strange!

Depend on!

Could it be that the emperor was poisoned again, and he wanted me to be the wronged one again? !

Jian Yue was also very nervous, but fortunately Eunuch Liu did not come to see him all morning, so he felt a little relieved. He walked towards the mountains and finally reached the top of the mountain around noon.

The temple is called Bailu Temple.

It covers a very large area, almost occupying the entire top of the mountain. It covers an area of ​​at least several thousand miles. You can't see the end at a glance. The various palaces are staggered and intertwined. Daqian attaches great importance to the culture of blessing. This is a royal temple, so it is even more solemn.

Gao Fei said: "This is the first time I have seen such a large temple."

Eunuch Liu in front snorted and said, "You ignorant thing. This temple has existed for hundreds of years when our ancestors of Daqian were alive. Do you see the library over there? It contains treasures left by our ancestors."

Everyone was impressed by the long history of this temple.

What Jian Yue was thinking about was the library! Maybe he could find a translation there!

This is my mission.

The system panel displayed the tasks that were triggered that day. The task of finding the translation had been marked in red. This temporary task would disappear in 24 hours, and the reward was unknown. However, Jian Yue felt that he could give it a try. After all, he now understood that no matter what the reward in the copy was, it must be good stuff!

The emperor and the masters of various palaces lived in several large halls of the temple, while the servants were assigned to more remote side halls.

Eunuch Liu said: "Tonight you have to deliver clothes to each palace. You must take them carefully and match them well. There can't be any deviation!"

Everyone remembered it clearly.

After Eunuch Liu finished talking, Jian Yue was looking over curiously before his own arrangements were finished. He saw Eunuch Liu look at him, and then that strange look came back.

Jian Yue:?

Eunuch Liu coughed lightly and then said, "Little Prince..."

Jian Yue hurriedly asked, "What do you want, Master?"

"You go to His Majesty's main hall tonight to deliver clothes." said Eunuch Liu.

Jian Yue said: "How dare I, a servant, snatch this kind of blessing from you, my father-in-law?"

Eunuch Liu thought to himself, forget it, the emperor fined me this morning because you didn't go, and if you don't go tonight you will be dragged out and beaten with thirty sticks, please don't harm me!

"You are wrong." Eunuch Liu said, "We are all serving His Majesty, there is no distinction between high and low. What's more, you have done a great service in taking care of His Majesty, and this is also your fault!"

Jian Yue said: "Thank you very much, eunuch."

Although he was still a little afraid to meet the emperor, it would be nice to be able to go. Maybe he could get some more information!

He comforted himself in his heart.

After receiving the task, Jian Yue did not dare to delay. After selecting and taking the emperor's daily clothes to change into at night, he went out. The entire palace was still very busy, especially the emperor's main hall which was brightly lit.

The person in front came out and said, "Come in."

When Jian Yue went in, he found that there were many people outside, but not inside. The eunuch walking in front said, "His Majesty doesn't like too many people to serve him personally. Look less and ask less. Otherwise, you won't know how you died even if your head is chopped off."

"Thank you for your teachings, father-in-law." Jian Yue said.

Once inside, you can see the emperor. He should have just come out of the bathroom. He is only wearing the simplest yellow nightgown and a black cloak on his shoulders. He is sitting lazily on the couch reading a book. The window is open. Outside there is a tree with white flowers, which bring a scent of flowers when the wind blows. His profile is sharp and handsome, but without the majestic dragon robe, he looks a little more peaceful.

The shawl was just draped loosely, revealing a few inches of her collarbone, and one could vaguely see the small red mole on the collarbone.

But in fact, you can't see it at all.

Jian Yue just suddenly remembered it in his mind.

Huangfu Chengyu didn't even turn around. He asked, "Have the clothes been delivered?"

Jian Yue came back to his senses and said quickly, "Your Majesty, it has been delivered."

Huangfu Chengyu nodded calmly and said, "Leave it there."

Jian Yue hesitated and said, "Do you want me to help you change your clothes?"

Huangfu Chengyu finally moved his eyes away from the book. He glanced at Jian Yue calmly. His dark eyes made it hard to tell his expression. He only said, "Can you?"

Jian Yue: “…”

Stop looking down on others!!

Well! He really can't!!

After all, he was just a little eunuch in charge of delivering clothes and running errands. He had no idea that one day he would have to learn this. Eunuch Liu had never thought that Jian Yue would have the opportunity to do this kind of thing, and he had never received any training at all. The eunuchs and palace maids outside also thought that Jian Yue must be able to do it, so no one came.

The room instantly fell into an eerie silence.

Huangfu Chengyu looked at Jian Yue, who was looking down at him like a quail, and felt that he was cute. This man's thoughts were all written on his face, even his anger but not words. He found it very interesting, so he couldn't help teasing him and said, "Since you have taken care of me, I can give you another chance."

Jian Yue was shocked!

No, he didn't learn it at all when he went back. He heard that Liu Gonggong was fined for a few words that he didn't say well, so wouldn't he also be fined all his salary? !

"Your Majesty! I am a clumsy servant." Jian Yue said weakly, "I am afraid I cannot serve you well. I know I am wrong. I will study hard after I go back and serve Your Majesty again!"

Huangfu Chengyu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself, is this little eunuch really stupid? It’s useless even if I give him chances. Isn’t he afraid that I will get angry and never give him another chance?

Didn’t you say that you have a secret crush on someone who pleases you?

This little quail doesn't look like it.

Am I overthinking it?

Or...playing hard to get?

"Forget it." Huangfu Chengyu waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Jian Yue breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

He thought he had escaped a disaster and walked out. As soon as he walked out of the corridor, he saw a painting hanging in the corridor. This painting was a picture of a city wall and a man in white! Obviously, this painting was not in the corridor when he came here!

Jian Yue immediately had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, when he looked up, a vague white shadow reappeared at the end of the corridor not far away, and the path seemed to emerge vaguely. As the copy progressed, the monsters slowly appeared in reality!

The audience in the live broadcast room also said nervously:

"The first one was found!"

"Hahaha, the host's hatred value is a bit high."

“Isn’t this over?”

"There are no teammates around, this is just waiting to die!"

The man in white slowly shook the bell in his hand and was about to start dancing and summon white bones to block Jian Yue's way. He saw Jian Yue smiling awkwardly, stopping his action and saying, "What a coincidence, we meet again. Why are you so enthusiastic every time? I said I don't have the talent for dancing. So, how about I find you a talented person next time? Just wait, I'll find you one now..."

When the man in white looked at Jian Yue with some doubt, he saw him——

Run away!!!

Jian Yue's legs even left an afterimage! !

He ran straight to the emperor's bedroom with sparks and lightning! Huangfu Chengyu, who was sitting on the couch, looked up and saw the eunuch who had returned standing at the door, panting and saying, "Your Majesty! Let me stay here to serve you and change your clothes. I don't trust others to give this opportunity!!"
