Chapter 175: Brothers still have their charm

After Jian Yue ate this huge melon, it took his brain a while to digest it.

I thought Concubine Yin's pregnancy was a good omen from heaven, but I didn't expect it to be a green light from heaven. His Majesty the Emperor is really jealous. These two people seem to be in deep love, but in fact they are a group of scattered people.

The investigator asked, "Did you see anyone suspicious?"

Yin Guiren hesitated: "This..."

She is very angry now!

I never expected that this dog guard, who appeared to be deeply in love with me on the surface, actually wanted to get married outside the palace in secret, and even used me as a stepping stone to climb up!

She had been hunting geese all year long and got her eyes pecked by geese, and now she was stabbed in the back by such a bastard!

This bastard actually dared to betray her. This matter must be dealt with. He and the eunuch on the rockery over there, these two people can't be kept. Why don't she expose the whereabouts of the eunuch...

Concubine Yin thought so and looked back at the rockery.

Jian Yue saw her actions and thought, if Concubine Yin handed herself over to the Imperial Master, he would reveal the fact that she was pregnant. Anyway, the Emperor must not have slept with her during this period of time when he was seriously ill. There was no record of the concubine sleeping with her but she was pregnant. If this matter was exposed by the Imperial Hospital, Concubine Yin would not be able to survive, and her entire family would be implicated, right?

This idea just fell.

Yin Guiren's face turned pale and she trembled all over. She never expected that Jian Yue would get straight to the point right away!

And around.

The guard was also very nervous. He really didn't expect that Concubine Yin was pregnant. And if she was pregnant, then so be it. She was planning to kill the father and keep the son. What a vicious woman. He just wanted her money and status, but she wanted her life. Why did he keep such a woman? If he exposed what she did now...

As soon as Jian Yue saw the guard's dead look, he guessed that he was up to some stupid idea again.

Did he really kick his brain? If Concubine Yin's guards were exposed, she would receive a gift package from her nine clans, so how could a small guard escape?

Thinking so.

The guard's face turned pale. He was so angry that he forgot that he was an adulterer. He and Concubine Yin looked at each other.

You absolutely cannot fall out with her/him now!

Both of them sorted out their thoughts and made a decision.

So when the searchers were wondering about this and were about to ask again, Concubine Yin smiled and said, "No, no, we didn't see anything. The Queen Mother asked me to pick some fresh flowers for her. We have been here the whole time and didn't see any suspicious people."

The searcher asked the guard, "What about you?"

The guard also pretended to be serious, and his IQ was back on top: "I was ordered to protect you, and I didn't see any suspicious people around here, but there seemed to be some noises in the yard next door just now, you can go check it out."

The searchers looked next door and immediately got up and went over.

As soon as they left, the three people at the scene breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Yin Guiren wanted to meet Jian Yue to make him keep his mouth shut, but then she thought that if she met Jian Yue, it would prove that she was harboring a fugitive, so she coughed lightly and pretended to say, "It's windy, my head hurts a little, help me go back."

The guard bowed and said, "I will escort you back."

The two of them walked away quickly, one after the other.

Jian Yue was so frightened staying in the rockery that his heart was about to jump out. After the two men left, the garden returned to peace. He was trying to decide whether to come out.

As a result, just as he was about to take a step, his arm was grabbed by a strong force.

Jian Yue looked back in surprise and saw a tall man in black standing next to him. He was wearing a black mask and his expression could not be seen. He was a little alert: "Who are you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a knife was placed at his throat.

The black-clothed man held his blade against him with a cold glow, and asked in a low voice, "Who sent you into this secret passage?"

Jian Yue didn't know who this person was or where he came from. He didn't know enough about the major forces in this dynasty. If he handed over the emperor without permission, would it really be helpful? What if this person was an enemy of the emperor? Not only might he not be able to save himself, but he might also be sent directly to see the King of Hell.

"No one." Jian Yue said, "I am a eunuch who was cleaning the library. I accidentally entered the secret passage and there was no one to instruct me."

The man in black sneered and said, "Even if you spend all your efforts to find the secret passage of the former country, you may not be able to find it. How could a little eunuch like you accidentally find it?"

Jian Yue said weakly: "Although you may not believe it, it is true. Did you know that there is a ghost on the fifteenth floor? That ghost took me to find it. If you don't believe it, go and see for yourself. I tell you, she is very scary..."

The man in black seemed speechless for a moment. He brought the blade closer and threatened viciously, "Tell the truth. If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to see the King of Hell. Tell the truth to me!"

Jian Yue: “…”

Look at you, you don’t believe it even when I tell you the truth!

Jian Yue could only say something random: "Well, actually I wanted to come here on my own. You know that His Majesty is seriously ill. I heard that there are many rare books in the library, so I wanted to look for them myself to see if there are any that I can use. Who knew that I accidentally discovered the secret passage on the 15th floor and came here? No one ordered me to come here. This is all because of my deep love for His Majesty!"

He is talking nonsense.

I thought the man in black would also say that he was not telling the truth this time.

Who knew that the man in black actually put down his knife and said, "So that's how it is."

Jian Yue: “…”

You are crazy! You don't believe the truth, but you believe the fabricated ones immediately! !

He was complaining wildly in his mind, but before he could say anything else, Jian Yue raised his head and his mouth was covered before he could say anything else. Then someone chopped him on the back of the neck and he passed out.

He fell into a deep sleep and when Jian Yue woke up, he was in an unfamiliar room with incense burning in it.

The evening breeze blew the curtains.

After Jian Yue woke up slowly, he felt a little pain in the back of his neck. He looked not far away and saw a familiar figure. He hesitated and said, "Your Majesty?"

Huangfu Chengyu was reading a book. When he heard the voice, he glanced at him and said, "You're awake."

Jian Yue's mind slowly came back to its senses. He touched the back of his neck and asked, "Why am I here?"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "You fainted after coming out of the secret passage, and my secret guards brought you back."

"Oh, it turns out to be your secret guard. What?! Your secret guard?!!" Jian Yue shouted after realizing it belatedly.

Huangfu Chengyu had a look on his face that said, "What are you talking about?" The man's cold face was mysterious. He said, "The garden is full of people arranged by the Imperial Master. Do you think you can leave by yourself?"

Jian Yue asked, "So that secret guard was arranged by your majesty to pick me up?"

Huangfu Chengyu said: "You can say that."

Jian Yue heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that the emperor did not completely ignore his life or death. However, Jian Yue immediately reacted and said, "But since His Majesty is your secret guard, why do you still want him to interrogate me?"

Huangfu Chengyu said slowly: "According to the rules, they will interrogate you to see if you will betray me."

The words were spoken calmly, as if to ask you whether you had a relaxing meal today.

But Jian Yue felt a chill on his back.

If he really gave the emperor away to save his life, wouldn't he have been killed by the secret guards? But who made the rules, and who was the master of the secret guards? How could they do this without the emperor's permission? It is said that the heart of the emperor is unfathomable, and Huangfu Chengyu is a suspicious person by nature. If he made a mistake next to the emperor, he might lose his life without knowing what happened.

It was clearly the emperor himself who sent the secret guards.

In the end, you have to judge yourself!

What kind of evil taste is this! Does he just like to play this kind of game? !

Jian Yue angrily complained about this boss with a bad taste in his heart, but then he heard Huangfu Chengyu say, "You have made a great contribution by discovering the secret passage. I have placed my reward next to your desk."

reward?

Jian Yue glanced sideways and saw a small golden box on the table. He opened it and found that it was full of golden melon seeds! ! The golden light was so dazzling that Jian Yue's eyes were dazzled! !

Money!

It's all about money!!

Huangfu Chengyu said: "This is just a reward. If you can find more clues about the wishing flowers in the future, I will..."

Before he finished speaking, Jian Yue was already holding the box excitedly and said, "Your Majesty, just leave this matter to me and don't worry. Oh no, don't worry. I will do my best to get the job done. Not to mention finding the clues of the wishing flower, I will even find you a few more without hesitation!!"

Who says this boss is not good? This boss is simply too good!!

Has there ever been any grudge between him and Your Majesty?

Huangfu Chengyu was silent for a moment and glanced at Jian Yue. After being given these golden melon seeds, shouldn't most people be happy to become his confidant and work for him? Why did this person seem to be so happy just for the golden melon seeds?

Originally, he wanted to interrogate Jian Yue again on why he was able to escape unscathed from under the noses of Concubine Yin and the guards, but seeing his innocent joy for the golden melon seeds, his intelligence was written all over his face, so he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to get anything useful out of him.

Huangfu Chengyu waved his hand and said, "Go back."

Jian Yue was happy: "Yeah!"

He went out from the side door of the emperor's bedroom and found that it was already dark outside. Jian Yue walked out, and the wind blew on his face, bringing a cold feeling.

The limited-time task is to find out the old site of the temple.

He already had a vague guess in his mind, he just needed to verify it now.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was getting dark and the guards in the library were not so strict, Jian Yue climbed in through the window of the small door. The entire huge library was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop. The tables and candles around it emitted a faint light.

Jian Yue went straight upstairs.

The fifteenth floor was even darker. The cold and silent moonlight cast a pale white color on the ground. Jian Yue looked towards the bookshelf not far away. A woman in white was sitting on the bookshelf, reading a book. When the female ghost saw Jian Yue coming, a little light appeared in her scarlet eyes.

Jian Yue didn't expect to meet someone in this copy who had light in his eyes when he saw him, even though he wanted to eat him.

"I'm sorry, I'm not here to read tonight." Jian Yue said, "Go on, I have something else to do."

The female ghost looked a little resentful, with a look on her face that said "I'm very disappointed in you."

Jian Yue found the secret passage with familiarity and walked in. After entering, he turned on the small flashlight he had exchanged during the day, and then slowly walked forward along the path of the secret passage. In fact, he doubted whether there were other ways here, but he had no time to look for them during the day in order to escape, so he naturally calmed down at this moment.

Groping and groping.

Jian Yue finally felt something was wrong at a certain part of the wall. He explored and pressed the uneven part of the wall, and felt the ground below shake. Before he could react, he felt a sudden shake, and then the ground where he was standing suddenly disappeared, and he fell down suddenly! !

The floor of the entire enclosed corridor was uneven, and Jian Yue didn't know where his flashlight went when he fell. In order to protect his head, he hugged his face tightly.

"Bang!"

There was a loud crash.

"Ouch." Jian Yue gasped in pain. He didn't know what he had bumped into, and the pain made him see stars.

When he opened his eyes, everything was too dark around him. Jian Yue was glad that he still had the tinder. He fumbled to take it out from his arms, but it took him several blows before he could get it to light. Jian Yue's heart sank. The oxygen content in this place was very low. It was not a place to stay for long.

The fire slowly burned itself out.

Jian Yue looked up and sat there in shock. In front of him was a tall stone gate. The black iron gate was majestic and solemn, with exquisite patterns carved on it. The fang-like statues and colorful auspicious clouds gave people a sense of sacredness and solemnity. He felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body when he looked at the gate unexpectedly. He looked particularly small in front of the stone gate.

Temple.

This thought suddenly popped up in Jian Yue's mind.

This is the temple.

He almost immediately determined that this might be the former site of the temple.

But how do I get in?

Jian Yue slowly got up, his leg was a little sore. He tried to check and luckily no bones were broken, probably just some scrapes when he rolled down. He slowly walked to the gate and felt a chill rushing to his forehead. For a moment, it seemed that the beasts and door gods carved on the door seemed to come alive, all staring at him angrily!

An extremely dangerous premonition rushed to Jian Yue's back!

Jian Yue subconsciously took a step back. For a moment he realized that he seemed to be only a moment away from death, but he didn't know what saved him and prevented these creatures from attacking him.

All the pores on my body tightened instantly.

Jian Yue looked up at the stone door and took a breath. He didn't know if it was because the oxygen here was too low, he felt a little short of breath and nervous. Just now he tried to push the stone door but it wouldn't open. He wanted to find a mechanism, but the fire starter went out again.

Endless darkness surrounded them from all directions in an instant.

Jian Yue only felt that countless gazes were cast at him in the darkness in an instant. In such silence, countless creatures were lurking in the darkness, looking at him and sizing him up.

We can't stay here for long.

Jian Yue turned around and crawled towards the corridor he came from. As long as he climbed up this path, he could leave here. He struggled to climb up in the closed passage.

From far away, there seemed to be a soft singing voice coming from somewhere.

The sound of the ballad seemed to be far away and near, and it seemed to be right next to my ears. Slowly, it seemed to turn into a tangible temptation.

"Stay..."

"Stay here..."

As Jian Yue climbed, he felt exhausted all over. His sweat had soaked the back of his clothes, but the corridor ahead seemed to have no end.

“You are tired…”

That illusory voice appeared beside me again.

"Take a nap. You won't be tired when you sleep. It's so dangerous outside. It's so tiring. What are you going to do outside? They will bully you and look down on you. Just stay here..."

The voice fell into his ears with a bewitching tone, and Jian Yue felt that the strength in his body seemed to be slowly fading away. An extremely tired feeling surged into his heart. In front of him was a corridor that he could not reach the end no matter how hard he climbed, and it seemed that stopping to rest would be a very good idea...

The audience in the live broadcast room also became anxious when they saw this scene:

“I got hit!”

"This is really totally unprepared."

"It would be nice to have teleport and other cards at this time."

"There's nothing we can do. The anchor is beyond help now!"

The audience is worried.

Seeing the sleepy Jian Yue with his head down, about to be bewitched and fall asleep, Jian Yue suddenly gritted his teeth and said, "No, I can't stay, I have to go out, I still have golden melon seeds to spend!"

Audience: “…”

Ghosts: “…”

Not a buddy?

Jian Yue bit his lips until they bled. The bewitching voice in his ears continued. When he saw that his will was about to waver again, Jian Yue said, "It's no use for you to tell me so much."

The monster didn't believe it.

Then Jian Yue suddenly took out something from the system mall, put the earplugs in his ears, and said confidently, "Because I'm deaf."

Ghost: “…”

Audience: “…”

Seeing that the bewitching monsters were subdued in just a few moves, the players who used to use various methods to avoid these monsters and posted various strategies on the forum fell silent.

Most of the audience laughed out loud:

“Ahahahaha.”

"Other players can't even compare to this player with such abstract talent even if they work hard on guides their entire lives."

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​using earplugs?"

"You are really motivated just to order the golden melon seed little prince."

Jian Yue climbed for a while with great effort, and finally seemed to see the corridor ahead. He tried hard to climb forward, and the moment he finally climbed out of the corridor, he could not resist the lack of oxygen and fatigue and fell asleep.

When I woke up again, I woke up in a dark corridor.

When Jian Yue got up from the ground, he immediately turned around and looked around. He actually found his small flashlight. This flashlight should have been lost in the passage, but now it was right beside him. The place that had just collapsed was gone, and he was still sitting there. Everything that had just happened seemed to be just a dream.

Dream?

Jian Yue was a little bit unconvinced. He rubbed around the wall again and found the button again.

But this time Jian Yue didn't dare to press it. The next time would be like peeling off a layer of skin. This passage might have a hallucinogenic effect. It should be used to prevent outsiders from entering the temple. He was so tired now that he had to go back and make a long-term plan.

Come out from the rockery.

There is no one outside anymore.

Jian Yue groped his way back to the lounge in the dark and found that everyone else had fallen asleep. This was the first time he came back so late. After a simple wash, Jian Yue was just about to go to bed.

Then I realized that there was something wrong with the painting on the wall.

In the past, they only saw the paintings after waking up. This was the first time they saw them in the middle of the night. The faces of the people in the paintings on the wall seemed to be getting clearer and clearer. I don’t know if it was Jian Yue’s illusion, but these faces looked a bit like the players...

Painting is in sync with people.

This was not good news. Jian Yue narrowed his eyes and observed the painting for a moment. He felt that the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting seemed to be changing, as if he was looking at him, revealing a cold smile.

After a moment of silence, Jian Yue commented: "Your smile is so ugly."

painting:"……"

Is there anyone who can control him? !

After Jian Yue finished his evaluation, he yawned and fell asleep on the bed. He was really too tired and didn't have time to care about anything else. As a result, he was pulled into the painting again after falling asleep.

It is still the long palace wall.

It was still the same inexplicable dance, and it was still the same dancing man in white.

After Jian Yue was forced to escape from the palace wall with Bai Gu again, he felt exhausted. When he woke up early in the morning, he felt a little confused. Workers have to work overtime even if they fall asleep. Who understands this! !

After Gao Fei and the others woke up, they looked at him and said, "Little Prince, what happened to you?"

Jian Yue asked: "What?"

"You have dark circles under your eyes..." Gao Fei hesitated and said, "You look like you came back from a day of mining yesterday."

Jian Yue sighed and said, "You can think so."

Others thought he was exaggerating.

Gao Fei said, "I have been in the imperial presence for the past two days. Shouldn't I be able to have an easy time? I don't have to do any heavy or strenuous work."

Jian Yue said: "How is that possible?"

But there was a pause.

Jian Yue asked: "Why do you think I have an easy life in front of the emperor?"

"Because..." Gao Fei and the others hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Don't you know that Eunuch Liu is now saying everywhere that you caught the emperor's eye with your appearance, and the reason why the emperor doesn't like the concubines in the harem is not because he doesn't like women, but because he likes... likes this. The reason you can be in front of the emperor now is because you want to be a noble!"

Jian Yue:?!

He was shocked.

Unexpectedly, the world outside is more exciting than he imagined!

Jian Yue originally wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start. He could only ask: "So, what do you think?"

Let’s first take a look at how these players view me. They won’t despise my behavior, right?

Little Leo behind Gao Fei said, "Little Prince, what you did is really wrong. How can we, as players, sell our appearance for a mission? Are you doing this for yourself, for the system, and for your professional ethics?"

Jian Yue hesitated and asked, "So what do you mean?"

Little Li and the others laughed and said, "What we mean is, it doesn't matter where you work. Actually, if it's for a mission, the result is the most important. If your majesty really likes that, look at us brothers, if you look carefully, can you say that you still have the charm?"
