Chapter 25 Luxurious Secret Room
He Zhixian understood immediately after hearing this.
It has been almost half a month since Wei Xiaozi was poisoned. It is almost time for him to die. If he doesn't die soon, those people will be the ones who will panic.
Ji Chenghe had been exchanging secret letters with his cousin during this period. It was also during this period that he saw that some of the court officials who had been "law-abiding" began to stir.
It was also during the period when his cousin was "dying" and unable to help him in the court that Ji Chenghe realized how much he had relied on his cousin in the past.
At the beginning, it was with the help of his mother and aunt that his cousin helped him.
Imperial power tactics, military tactics, and the art of governing the people...
These things were taught by his cousin, which is why Ji Chenghe called Wei Rong teacher.
Ji Chenghe stood in the secret room, feeling mixed emotions.
At this moment, I heard a noise coming from the door and turned around quickly, "Cousin..." Brother?
When Ji Chenghe saw his cousin appear with a cat in his arms, he was stunned.
What did he see? ! ! !
My cousin is actually holding a cat? ! ! !
Ji Chenghe's eyes widened as he looked at the little thing in his cousin's arms. He looked at it several times and found that it was indeed a cat.
Wei Rong carried Ah Fu into the secret room. He ignored the shock in the emperor's eyes and walked straight in.
Yun Fu lay limply in Wei Rong's arms. Just when she was about to fall asleep, she entered a magnificent underground secret room, which woke her up instantly.
What caught the eye were the huge night-shining pearls inlaid on the four walls, lighting up the secret room as bright as day.
Supporting this huge secret room are four pillars carved with coiled dragon patterns.
The dragon's bones are made of pure gold, its body is winding and coiled, and each scale is inlaid with a whole piece of clear jade.
The dragon's head was raised high, its huge mouth was wide open, and in its mouth was a huge coral bead that was as red as blood.
The pearly light flows, reflecting the golden scales and jade armor, reflecting a dazzling and magical halo.
The most luxurious secret room Yun Fu had ever seen was her master's private vault. At that time, she thought that her master's private vault was the most luxurious and beautiful place in the world.
It was at that time that Yun Fu laid the foundation for her love for all kinds of beautiful things.
Now here, Yun Fu saw an even more beautiful and gorgeous secret room.
For Yun Fu, who loves all kinds of shiny and beautiful things, this place is no different from the fairyland.
"Meow~" Quick, quick, put me down!
Wei Rong saw that the drowsy little guy suddenly became energized and struggled to break free from his arms.
I no longer restrained it, and as soon as I let go of it, the furry little creature jumped lightly to the ground.
As soon as she jumped onto the ground, Yun Fu slipped and she noticed that the floor was actually made of pieces of white jade!!!
"Meow~" So bright and smooth~
He ran to a dragon-shaped pillar and propped himself up, resting his two claws on the jade-inlaid dragon scales.
"Meow~" So beautiful~
The warm yellow little guy is like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden, touching here and turning there, with his big fluffy tail standing high and shaking behind him.
From time to time, it makes soft and sticky sounds, which are especially clear in the secret room.
Wei Rong looked at the extremely excited Ah Fu, and a deep look flashed across his eyes. It turned out that he was right. His Ah Fu liked shiny and beautiful things very much.
"Be careful, don't fall down~"
Wei Rong looked at Ah Fu, who had already crawled along the dragon pattern to the dragon head, squatted down and stretched out his claws to touch the coral orb in the dragon head's mouth, and reminded him.
When Ji Chenghe heard this gentle and clear voice, he thought for a moment that he was hallucinating.
Was the person who just spoke his cousin?
When did my cousin become able to make such a gentle voice?
In Ji Chenghe's memory, his cousin's smiles to him were all cold and sarcastic, and his words did not contain any accusations, but every time he said it made him feel ashamed and even wanted to die.
There was no such thing as speaking to him in a gentle tone.
And now, his cousin who used to be cold and sharp in his words not only spoke softly, but even his facial expression was as gentle as if he were possessed by a demon.
Yun Fu was squatting on the dragon's head at this time, stretching out her claws to pick at the pearl in the dragon's mouth. As she picked, the pearl kept turning.
This seemed to arouse the cat's nature, making Yun Fu play more and more excitedly, and she ignored what Wei Rong said.
Ji Chenghe looked at his cousin looking at the cat playing with Baozhu and smiled helplessly. It was a real smile, with the corners of his mouth raised, his eyebrows and eyes smiling, and the lines on his face softened, like a slowly unfolding ink painting.
But when his cousin turned around and sat in front of him, the smile and gentleness on his face had disappeared without a trace, as if the look he just saw was dazzled.
"Is everything arranged?"
The cold and dull voice was in stark contrast to the gentle voice just now.
Ji Chenghe felt that his cousin's attitude towards him was quite obviously bad. It would have been fine if there was no comparison, but after the comparison, the psychological gap immediately emerged.
I am worse than a cat...
"Well... well, everything has been arranged, don't worry, cousin."
The two began to play chess.
Wei Rong held the black chess piece in his hand, and the black jade chess piece fell on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.
"Um."
The calm reply made Ji Chenghe pause in his chess piece, and then the white piece fell, blocking the black piece's path.
"Mr. Wei, I need you to fake your own death and secretly travel south to investigate the substitution of relief grain from the imperial court for the floods in the south."
This time, Ji Chenghe spoke without the cautious and tentative tone as before. His words were resounding and carried the aura of an emperor.
Upon hearing this, Wei Rong raised his eyes and looked quietly at the emperor in front of him.
Yun Fu, who was playing with beads, also heard the conversation between the two. When she heard what the handsome boy with a childish face said, Yun Fu paused.
I? This young man is the current emperor.
No wonder this place is so luxurious and dazzling, it turns out to be the property of the emperor.
Listening to what the two people below were saying, Yun Fu couldn't help but prick up her little ears, pretending to pick at the beads with her claws, but her attention was all on the two of them.
Ji Chenghe sat upright, meeting his cousin's gaze.
Wei Rong looked at the boy's clear and determined eyes, and there was a different thought in his eyes.
Take out another black piece and trap the white piece.
"If you want me to help you, then answer me a question. What are you doing all this for? You'd better think about it before you answer."
Ji Chenghe's heart sank. What was the point of doing all this?
Consolidate his position? Maintain his current position? Clean up the court? Take power completely into his own hands?
But if you think about it carefully, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
The ultimate goal of the imperial books and the ways of governing the world that his cousin taught him was... the people!
