[Martial Arts] Infinite Chamber Game

Yang Muqing looked at him steadily, and finally let out a long sigh, and said, "It turns out that you were lying to me just now. You were not seriously injured at all. You pretended to be unable to move just to trick me."

"Never mind. This is the only use I have now. It's just..." He laughed self-deprecatingly, "I haven't eaten for a day. Go get me something to eat, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Jing Wuming suddenly felt like a fool for staying behind.

What could a dying guy trapped in the cold palace know? He probably knew less than what I could learn by occasionally glancing over here.

But he still went to get some food.

He didn't know where the imperial kitchen was, he just knew it was quite far away. He didn't have the patience to look for it, so he just found two dry buns and a smelly salted fish nearby, wrapped them in a cloth bag, and threw them to Yang Muqing, saying coldly, "Eat quickly."

The steamed bun was dry and hard, and crumbs fell off when you took a bite. Not to mention the stinky salted fish, the fishy and salty taste was rampant in your mouth. Yang Muqing was really hungry, and he rolled his eyes because of choking, but he still ate with big mouthfuls. After most of the steamed bun was swallowed, he wiped his mouth and started to shed tears, "I used to have a servant with me, but Concubine Wen asked him to be taken away, and now he has become her confidant. This child is very conscientious, and he comes to see me every few days and brings me some food and money. Logically, I shouldn't have fallen to this point. It's a pity that Nanny Fang was taken away by her son who is a servant, but when she left, she took away all the food and money!

Alas, in fact, this is not her fault. She did this most likely because of the Imperial Concubine's instructions. It's all because I know too many of the Imperial Concubine's secrets. How could she let me live? Now there are precedents of Concubine Wen and Concubine Jiao. Even if I go to the cold palace, he will still be worried. "

Jing Wuming stood there like a javelin, listening patiently to Yang Muqing's chatter.

"In this palace, the Queen and the Imperial Concubine are at loggerheads. I think you've probably heard about this. From the day I entered the palace, I was destined to be a bargaining chip for the two of them to fight over. The Imperial Concubine is flamboyant and vicious, and the Queen is even more cunning. If I can't be used by the two of them, I'll have to be killed by them. I've worked for the Imperial Concubine for many years, so how could I not know the Queen's methods?

Oh, the queen, who looks more gentle and virtuous than a woman, is actually extremely narrow-minded. She hates others taking away her power the most, and she cannot tolerate her woman being shared by others, even if that woman is the emperor!
He had already seen that Shangguan Jinhong, Li Xunhuan, and the monk from Shaolin Temple were all on the same side and would never agree with him. Seeing that some of them were given titles of concubines, some were promoted to higher positions, and some had some magical skills, the situation was ripe, so how could he let them go? It just so happened that the imperial concubine was pregnant. From what I know about him, he would definitely instigate them to attack the imperial concubine, and then secretly seize evidence of their plotting to murder the heir. In this way, he would not only get rid of them, but also suppress the imperial concubine. This is what the queen is used to doing!"

Jing Wuming was silent for a while. Seeing that Yang Muqing had stopped talking, he frowned and said, "Is that it?" His tone was obviously dissatisfied. He wanted to know more details.

Yang Muqing closed his eyes, turned over, and said on his side: "If you have a way to get out, tell your master not to be fooled by the queen."

The night is boundless, the moonlight shines coolly into the water, and the warm breeze blows gently.

Jing Wuming walked out of the cold palace in the night and went to Zhengyang Palace relying on his vague memory.

Although he came to find Shangguan Jinhong, he did not intend to tell him the news he had obtained. He should have expected that the Queen would take action against them. Moreover, given Shangguan Jinhong's temper, he had never changed his mind about what he was determined to do, and would kill anyone who tried to stop him.

He just wanted to see him.

The days when he was by his side when he was young, when he was his shadow and the knife in his hand, were so unforgettable that for more than 20 years after Shangguan Jinhong's death, Jing Wuming had no idea whether he was alive or dead. He was like a floating duckweed, drifting helplessly, with the way he came cut off and no way back.

He didn't know what he could do when he got to Shangguan Jinhong's side, he just wanted to be by his side!

They all lived in Zhengyang Palace, which was easy to find. It was the greenest place in the whole palace. It was lush and green during the day and spooky at night. The serving palace servants were basically all in the palace. Almost no one dared to stand outside. Jing Wuming sneaked in easily. He did not intend to hide, but even with Shangguan Jinhong's hearing ability, he could not conceal his whereabouts.

What Jing Wuming never expected was that even when he was under the window, Shangguan Jinhong didn't even notice him!
In fact, at this time Shangguan Jinhong had no energy to discover anyone.

The room was brightly lit by candlelight. A majestic and tall figure twisted into an enchanting posture on the couch. Shangguan Jinhong's eyes were filled with tears, his cheeks were rosy, his lips were pouting, one hand was gently rubbing the beard on his chin, and the other hand was resting on the cushion, his body trembling slightly.

"You bad guy, I have been fond of you for so long, why don't you even look at me? But you said at the beginning that if I call you brother, I will give my life to you, brother~"

Li Xun Huan flashed in front of Shangguan Jin Hong, pushed him down on the couch with his arms, and said in a bubbling voice: "Be good, don't call me brother, call me husband."

Shangguan Jinhong was shy and tactful, her eyes slightly lowered, and she called softly: "Husband..."

……

……

No one knew what kind of soul attack Jing Wuming had endured in this short minute! He only knew that when he heard Shangguan Jinhong shout "husband", he slipped and fell straight down from the tree, and he didn't get up for a long time.

Although he was not clear about Li Xunhuan's skills, he could guess a little from the words and actions of the two people in the room.

What a terrible skill! What a terrible game!
He fled without stopping.

After circling around the palace for more than an hour, Jing Wuming gradually calmed down. No, he couldn't just leave like this. His fleeing scene would definitely be broadcast live, and who knows how many people would be watching. He had to do something to save his own face, as well as that of Gang Leader Shangguan!
By the way, aren't Shangguan Jinhong and Li Xunhuan sworn enemies? When did they become so close? Of course, this matter is irrelevant. The primary issue now is - whoosh -

A feather arrow broke through the air and headed straight for his vital point! After staying on the Terror Island for a long time, Jing Wuming's brain and body had been divided into two parts. His brain was still thinking about what to do next, but his body had already dodged the feather arrow.

Only one arrow.

The arrow barely grazed his cheek and sank into the palace wall!
What a powerful force! This doesn't look like the work of the imperial guards, so who could have done it?

Jing Wuming looked in the direction where the arrow came from, and saw a young man in a purple robe standing on the towering red wall and green tiles. He was wearing thin armor, his hair was tied in a bun, he had a long sword on his waist, and a light bow in his hand. The second arrow was aimed at him, ready to be shot.

"Who are you? Do you know where this place is? Do you know that walking around the palace late at night is a capital crime?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a feather arrow shot out with another whoosh sound. This time Jing Wuming did not dodge. Instead, he stretched out two fingers and gently pinched the arrow. The arrow had a force that was enough to penetrate the wall, but with this pinch, the arrow broke into two pieces and fell to the ground like a dead insect.

The young man's breathing tightened, but he didn't make a sound. In fact, his voice had always been low, as if he was afraid of attracting the patrolling imperial guards.

Jing Wuming roughly guessed who "he" was.

"Who are you!" the young man asked.

Jing Wuming thought for a moment and decided to take a big gamble. He clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "I, Jing Wuming, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The "young man" on the wall raised his eyebrows in surprise, put down his bow and arrow, and said coldly: "Do you recognize me?" Jing Wuming said: "When your majesty abducted our leader into the palace, I was beside him. Doesn't your majesty remember it?"

The "young man" seemed to be thinking, and finally laughed softly. He no longer tried to lower his voice, but squatted down and raised his chin towards him: "I remember now, you are Concubine Wen's male favorite."

Jing Wuming: “…”

Man, your mother's pet!

He and Shangguan Jinhong are innocent! Innocent!

Jing Wuming took a deep breath and said, "I'm here to find him."

"You want to take him away?"

Jing Wuming said again: "I'm here to find him."

The emperor jumped down from the wall, put his hands behind his back, and walked around him with interest. The man in front of him was not young, more than 30 years old, and his appearance was not handsome. There was not a single bit of the gentleness of a male favorite. He was like a sword out of its sheath, cold and dangerous.

She smiled and said, "Interesting, you are really interesting."

"Come with me. I will take you to see him tomorrow morning." The emperor smiled, then suddenly frowned and said in a cold voice: "But you must not tell anyone about what happened tonight, otherwise, I will tear you into pieces!"

So the next day, the three palace fighters who were about to go out to harm people were blocked in the palace by the emperor's guard of honor. When Shangguan Jinhong saw Jing Wuming, she was in a trance.

"What brings you here?"

In fact, what he wanted to ask was, are you a real person or an NPC in the game?

Jing Wuming did not answer, but turned his gaze to the emperor beside him.

The emperor smiled and said, "Do you really recognize this man? I heard from the night patrol yesterday that they caught an assassin who broke into the Forbidden Palace. He said he was your male lover. Since you entered the palace, he missed you all day and was almost dying. That's why he took the risk to come to the palace to meet you. I pity his sincerity towards you, so I brought him to you."

Shangguan Jinhong had a complicated expression.

Jing Wuming had lost his expression. He just silently took out a copper coin from his belt and threw it to Shangguan Jinhong.

The four characters "Yi Gui Tong Shen" ("Serving Ghosts to Communicate with Gods") are engraved on the copper coin.

So Shangguan Jinhong's expression became more complicated.

Li Xunhuan and Wuhua were eating melons crazily on the side. The group of people were strangely silent for a while. Then the emperor coughed lightly and said, "Why are you still standing outside in this hot weather?" After that, he walked into the hall by himself, and the group followed behind him.

Although no one spoke, they opened the live broadcast system privately, and rows of barrages flew up.

ID Wuhua: What’s going on?

ID Yue Lingshan: Jing Wuming, you actually came here without even going home? Could it be true what Miao Bishenghua wrote?

ID Li Xunhuan: It seems that our plan has failed before it even started.

ID Li Mochou: Hahahaha, male favorite, hahaha, Jing Wuming, ah Jing Wuming, if Shangguan Jinhong goes to sleep with you, will you be jealous?
ID Thousand Faces Young Master: Am I late? What the hell is this excitement?

ID Jiang Xiaoyu: Not too late, not too late. Just now, Li Xunhuan and his gang planned to form a group to frame the imperial concubine, making the emperor think that he had something going on with Li Xunhuan. But then the emperor sent Shangguan Jinhong's male lover to him. He sent a male lover to his own concubine! Hahahaha!

ID Thousand Faces Young Master: Strange, why aren’t they talking to each other?

ID Wuhua: Maybe it’s too embarrassing, or maybe I have so many words stuck in my heart that I don’t know what to say.

……

The emperor sat for a while and then left, saying that it was a rare opportunity for him to have free time and he wanted to go see the imperial concubine. He also took Shangguan Jinhong away with him. The purpose was self-evident, which was to make artificial snow.

Li Xunhuan and Wuhua had nothing else to do, so they could only discuss a new countermeasure. Finally, they unanimously decided to abort the imperial concubine's pregnancy and put the blame on the empress. If they failed, they would push Jing Wuming out to take the blame since he had nothing to do anyway.

Just as I was planning the details, Shangguan Jinhong came back. He had been gone for more than half an hour. Now his nose was not a nose, his eyes were not eyes, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

He walked up to Jing Wuming and said in a very calm tone: "I have already made the arrangements for you."

Jing Wuming asked: "What?"

Shangguan Jinhong said: "His Majesty has agreed to let you get pregnant for me. When you give birth to a prince, you can give him to me to raise, and I will become a noble concubine."

Jing Wuming: “?”

I think you are Wu Zetian's dead husband. Have you lost your mind?
