Chapter 108 Thoughts
"What's the matter with offering wine? Please come to me in person if you need anything." Yan Chengxuan changed his clothes, and after Wen Rongxi left, he fell in love with Wen Rongxi's attire. The dazzling crimson robes in the past were replaced by wide-sleeved aqua blue gowns , Liu Yulin saw him in a trance for a while, and couldn't hear his words clearly.

Yan Chengxuan frowned slightly, raised his hand and shook it in front of him, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Liu Yulin came back to his senses and said, "It's nothing, I just come to see the second young master when I have nothing to do."

"Not for Zhuo Xiaqiu?" Yan Chengxuan raised his eyebrows and said.

After Zhuo Ran's accident, Liu Yulin's attitude towards Sisi changed in vain. Before, he was nodding acquaintance, but now he is not so enthusiastic.

Liu Yulin shook his head and said, "Since Your Majesty has announced that Xiaqiu is dead, I don't need to worry about her affairs anymore. It's just that many newcomers have been recruited into the Imperial College, and it's not as easy as before when there are more people."

Yan Chengxuan grinned and said, "You and Xiaqiu have always had a good relationship. Why, are you interested in Xiaqiu?"

"What did Er Shao say?" Liu Yulin glanced at him and said, "I thought you and Xiaqiu were just a couple. Back then, the painting had been circulated in Gaodu for several days, but who knew it was taken away by the governor?" .”

Yan Chengxuan tilted his head and said, "You came here just to complain?"

Liu Yulin spread his palms and said, "The roster of those who came to report to you to become an official after Qiu Wei has been sent to the Ministry of Officials. Er Shao Yan will arrange it when he has time. His Majesty is still waiting."

Yan Chengxuan let out a "hmm", and sent him away without saying a few words.

Luanying watched Liu Yulin leave the mansion, and then returned to the room. Yan Chengxuan straightened his sleeves in front of the bronze mirror, then turned to look at Luanying.

"I'll go to the Ministry of Officials to check on the situation later." Yan Chengxuan paused, and said, "I'll write the letter to Yan Shu when I get back. Take good care of your father, don't keep the door open for me."

Luan Ying nodded and said, "Second Young Master, is going to see Wu Xiuting?"

Yan Chengxuan sighed, and said, "Otherwise, is there another way?"

"By the way," Yan Chengxuan frowned slightly, and said, "It's okay in the palace. Elder Sister is busy taking care of His Majesty. When she is free, let Dongzhu come to the house to bring something to Elder Sister, so that she won't be bored."

Luanying looked out at the sky, and when she bent down to pick up her umbrella, she said, "I saw Sister Dongzhu a few days ago. She said that the imperial concubine is teasing the little prince all day long, so it's not boring."

Yan Chengxuan lowered his head and took the umbrella from his hand, and said: "How can I say that the little prince is born of Concubine Lan, it's not good for my sister to get close to him, besides, the news from Xiqi's side is intermittent, Ye Bai can get up General Zhong Lang is just a display, just wait and see, one day Xi Qi will ignore Concubine Lan and make a fuss about doing big things."

The red wedding book was neatly placed on the table, and the silhouette of the red candle was mottled, embellished on the name embroidered with gold thread, which made people unable to keep their eyes open.It was supposed to be a perfect wedding ceremony, a perfect worship ceremony, but with the hazy and gloomy last night, the bright red wedding gown gradually lost its color, at least in her eyes, it was dim.

The two of them embroidered each other's name with their own hands, and there was a faint golden glow in the watery eyes. Fu Sisi stroked the embroidery thread with her fingertips, and her thoughts were pulled away for a moment. Come back to God.

"What are you thinking?" Tian Wuruo stretched out his hand to hold her, and forcefully pulled her into his arms.

Fu Sisi raised her eyes and looked at him, she seemed to have regained her composure, and said softly: "I was thinking, you were supposed to be married in an upright manner, but now you have to carry this kind of person on your back, it's a pity to think about it."

Tian Wuruo stretched out his hands to straighten her slightly tilted face, and said seriously, "I married you last night. If you are not satisfied, I will marry you thousands of times until you are satisfied."

"You know that's not what I mean." Fu Sisi blocked his hand, lowered her eyes and said, "That day..."

Tian Wuruo immediately let go of her and said, "Of course I know that's not your intention. Zhuo Ran has already escaped, and His Majesty will not pursue it anymore. What are you still awkward about?"

Fu Sisi turned her head and continued to look at the marriage letter, and said slowly, "You gave me a message back then, asking me to remind Xiaqiu not to enter the palace, I...I never went to her..."

"I knew it a long time ago." Tian Wuruo didn't touch her again and said, "But what happened, Xiaqiu is not dead, you and I are still alive, isn't that great?"

But what about Zhou Yu and Han Congzhong?
Fu Sisi closed her eyes, two lines of tears fell down her cheeks, Tian Wuruo frowned tightly, but she didn't know how to comfort her.On the day of Han Congzhong's burial, he didn't dare to let Fu Sisi leave the mansion, and stayed with her in the Zuixue Court to sort out the things left by Zhou Yu and Han Congzhong.

Chu Shiyu gave Han Congzhong the simplest funeral, but it was also the most controversial funeral in Dayu's history.

At that time, the heavy rain was pouring down, but there were many long eagles circling on the gray clouds for no reason, and their screams were piercing, and they followed Han Congzhong to the place where Han Congzhong was buried, and they left one after another after six hours.

There were no inscriptions carved on the tombstone, and thousands of ravines were washed out by the heavy rain, hiding in the clouds.

"You don't need to persuade me," Fu Sisi shook her head self-consciously, and said, "Although the arrow that day couldn't kill Xiaqiu, it would always make her body worse. It was I who harmed them, and I fault..."

Tian Wuruo clenched his fingers, sneered, and said, "You are indeed at fault, you don't even know where your fault is, so just push me away like this, is it useful?"

Fu Sisi didn't reply.

"Forget it," Tian Wuruo sighed softly, and said, "Think about it slowly, I will stay in the palace to help His Majesty deal with things in the next few days, and come to me when you think about it."

Ruofei was untied from the iron chains on his feet, and rushed straight into the sky with a bang.

Xiyu stretched out his hand to grab Li Xunchuan regardless, but was pushed away by Li Xunchuan.

"Master, you can't leave now!" Gu Zhao firmly grabbed Zhushi's rein and said, "You can't really believe that something will happen to Mr. Si Ye just based on a letter."

Li Xunchuan frowned, and said sharply, "Get out of the way!"

Wen Rongxi raised his arms to block Li Yuchuan, and said in a low voice: "Governor, please be safe. These rumors may not be true. Zhuo Siye was killed for no reason, and you don't have to worry so much."

"You also said just now that Zhuo Xiaqiu is very important to me," Li Yuchuan broke away from Xiyu's hand and said, "I'll just go back and take a look, and I'll hurry back after I take a look."

"Could it be that the governor wants to resist the edict?" Wen Rongxi stepped forward to block Li Yuchuan's path, and said, "I can't think of any explanation that would be beneficial to the governor other than letting your majesty commit crimes against you and get involved in Beili."

Xi Yu knelt down and said, "Master, think twice... Beili still needs you."

Gu Zhao pulled the reins and knelt down together, saying: "If the master is worried, the subordinates can take the place of the master, but the master must not put himself in danger!"

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect that Beili has become my shackle now, right? If I really resist the decree and return to the capital, will I never become a sinner of Beili again?"

"Subordinates dare not." Xiyu Gu Zhao lowered his head.

Wen Rongxi said, "Is the governor talking to us or to himself?"

Li Xunchuan sighed.

Wen Rongxi said: "The Governor knows that His Majesty will not easily touch Beili, but the premise is that the Governor will keep his own place, so that Beili can live in peace. You may not run into His Majesty's Nilin by doing this, but Zhuo Siye is different. Mr. Zhuo Ting The matter of the general has already caused her to suffer a lot, she is smart enough to protect herself, but the Governor cannot harm Zhuo Siye because of his impulsiveness, this is probably not your intention."

"You know everything?" Li Xunchuan snorted.

Wen Rongxi smiled and said: "I don't know, it's just that you will naturally think about these things when you calm down. Now it's just a matter of concern and chaos."

Li Xunchuan looked sideways at Wen Rongxi and said, "You really know how to read people's hearts."

"The governor's praise." Wen Rongxi suppressed his smile and said, "I'm just talking about the facts."

"I'm not going back to Gaodu now, so I want to help you solve these things thoroughly, but Beili and Zhuoran, it's not your turn to tell me how to neutralize them." Li Yanchuan took a deep breath and said: " I will find a way to lure those people as soon as possible, and I will not care about other things."

Wen Rongxi didn't restrain his sense of oppression. He lowered his head and straightened Feng Chuan's messy waist belt, and said, "The governor said this a bit early, hasn't the matter in Luzhou not been resolved, the governor's return is far away..."

Li Xunchuan raised the corners of his lips, raised his brows lightly, and said: "Then Yan Shu is not something you should worry about, my return date is not far away, it depends on me."

After saying that, he turned his head and stepped into the house.

Wen Rongxi looked at Li Yuchuan's back and smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Xiyu and Gu Zhao led Zhushi into the stable, and went to Li Yuchuan together to plead guilty.Just now they were completely listening to Wen Rongxi's mention of Beili, and the two took advantage of the topic, but they didn't expect that they really angered Li Yanchuan, and they didn't expect that the words they didn't want to hear the last came out of their mouths.

Li Xunchuan didn't speak, and looked down at the ledger with his head down.

"How long are you going to kneel?" Li Yuchuan said without even raising his eyes, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Xiyu lowered his head and said, "Master, forgive me, we didn't intend to do that, we just wanted to stop the master..."

Gu Zhao bit his lip and said nothing.

"I didn't say you two were at fault, get up." Li Xunchuan put down the account book and said.

The two were motionless.

"That's fine," Li Yuchuan nodded, and said, "Gu Zhao, if you have something to say, just say it, don't hold back."

Gu Zhao moved the corners of his mouth, but remained silent for a while.

"What Wen Rongxi said just now is what you want to say, right?" Li Yuchuan poured a cup of tea and said, "You can't hide it from me. You always put Beili first. Even if you are in deep prison, you will always Thinking about him all the time, this was my initial thought when I entered Gaodu."

Gu Zhao raised his head and met Li Xunchuan's eyes, and said: "Since the master knows, why do you still want to go back to Gaodu to find Zhuo Siye. I don't know why you are so interested in Zhuo Siye. It is obvious that she harmed the master. Beili!"

"You've been struggling with this issue from the very beginning," Li Xunchuan frowned, and said, "Why haven't you thought it through yet?"

Gu Zhao closed his eyes for a while, then hesitantly said, "Yes, this subordinate can't figure it out. What's so good about Zhuo Siye? At the beginning, the master wanted to kill her, but he forgot because of how many times she threw himself into his arms." Your original intention, the subordinates don't understand why the master still cares about her at this moment, Zhuo Siye shouldn't bewitch the master, the master shouldn't indulge, you forgot..."

Xi Yu pulled Gu Zhao's sleeve and cut off his words abruptly.

Li Xunchuan naturally knew what he was going to say next. He forgot his strong desire to return to Beili and return to the battlefield. It seemed that Zhuo Ran had brought him into a gentle town, or the opposite cliff. It will be fragile to soft and easy to fall.He couldn't see the aura of the champion in the past in Li Yuchuan. Instead, he was restrained and submissive, and all of this was because of Zhuo Ran.

"We entered Gaodu for the sake of Beili." Li Yanchuan looked directly at him and said, "I'm not afraid of being questioned by you, nor will I hide any of my emotions. You're right. I care about Zhuo Ran because I love her, not just throwing myself into my arms with ulterior motives. Xiaqiu is from Yongzhou. She has taken a life that she doesn't want to bear like me. She is trapped in Gaodu with me and has the same goal and ideal. If you want to leave Gaodu and return to your hometown, this is mutual support."

Li Xunchuan breathed out slowly, and said: "I was not impulsive just now, I thought about the consequences. You have followed me for many years, and you should know that I will not do things that are not sure. I have worried about what you are worried about."

Gu Zhao lowered his head and said, "But Zhuo Siye..."

Li Xunchuan smiled softly, and said: "Just believe me once, she Zhuo Xiaqiu is mine, life is mine, death is mine too."

Wen Rongxi took the name post from Jingshan, glanced at it, and said, "I still want the governor to stay in Yidong well, Luzhou sent people to deliver the post so soon."

"Did Marquis Da Xi say something?" Jing Shan asked with his head tilted.

Wen Rongxi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Are you interested in this too?"

Jing Shan shook his head, Wen Rongxi said: "It was just a silver transaction for the repair of Lianhua Lane at that time, but this is something His Majesty entrusted to the Governor, and it has nothing to do with us. It seems that it was right to stop him just now."

"But once the governor is gone, what should we do with our plan?" Jing Shan frowned and said, "He's not here, if you are in any danger, the second young master will not let me go back."

Wen Rongxi smiled and said, "Don't worry, with the governor's ability, it will only take three to five days to go to Luzhou, which is enough for us to make a good deployment."

Jing Shan snorted coldly, he didn't think Li Yunchuan would really go to Luzhou obediently.

Wen Rongxi couldn't understand his expression, and said, "Huh?"

Jing Shan sighed, and said with some helplessness: "My subordinates see that Li Er is a fool, and the young master reminded me of this, but he doesn't appreciate it."

Wen Rongxi smiled and said: "After all, he is an arrogant person, how could he listen to me so easily."

"He looks like someone still wants to follow him." Jing Shan rolled his eyes, reached out to take the name card, and said, "Send it to him now?"

Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Send it over."

Before Jingshan stepped out, Wen Rongxi added: "The governor is my friend no matter what, so don't be disrespectful to him."

Jing Shan raised his head, stepped out of the room with one foot, and said, "Got it!"

The pavilions of the inn are very charming, and even the window lattices are carved into various shapes. Even if you don’t live in the inn, you can’t help but stop when you pass by outside.Wu Song poked his head out to look at the sky, logically speaking the letter had already been in the hands of Li Xunchuan, why Ruofei still didn't come back to report the letter.

Zhuo Ran put on a coat and called softly: "Wu Song, what are you looking at?"

Wu Song stretched out his hand to close the window, turned around and walked towards Zhuo Ran, saying, "I'm just looking to see if Ruofei has come back, it has been out for a few days."

"Don't worry," Zhuo Ran coughed lightly twice, and said, "It's a good day today, you can go outside with me."

Wu Song shook his head like a wave drum, and said: "No, no, no, your injury is still not healed, so you can't go out..."

Zhuo Ran smiled and said: "I've been healed a long time ago. I also want to see if this place is safe or not, whether it is really suitable for us to stay until Chi Yue comes, and if I delay it, I'm afraid it will hurt your master .”

Wu Song slowed down shaking his head, Zhuo Ran tilted his head and said, "If you really don't want to go, then I'll go alone, you stay here and don't run around."

"Then...then I'd better go." Wu Song lowered his head and whispered.

Ou Li saw Zhuo Ran go downstairs, put aside his calculations, and said, "You want to go out?"

Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, and said, "The injuries are almost healed, Aunt Ou, don't worry. My brother and I went out to buy some things, and we'll be back in a while."

"Come back sooner," Ou Li said with flowers blooming on his face, "My husband will bring my little girl back today, and I will show you my daughter when the time comes."

Zhuo Ran nodded slightly and said, "We will definitely come back sooner."

Zhuo Ran has never been to Suicheng before, but Zhuo Yi mentioned that there is a large underground palace in Suicheng, which is located in the back mountain of an unnamed temple. Suicheng is not small, and she didn't ask where the underground palace is. .

The streets were far less prosperous than those in Gaodu, so Zhuo Ran bought two bunches of candied haws and gave one to Wu Song.

"Is there any delicious candied haws from Gaodu?" Zhuo Ran watched Wu Song swallow one at a time, and said with a smile, "I'm really sorry that you couldn't eat Gaodu's candied haws."

Wu Song's cheeks were puffed up slightly. Hearing this, he shook his head and said vaguely, "No...I'm not..."

Zhuo Ran didn't touch the candied haws, and said while walking: "Actually, I've always wanted to ask you, weren't you outside the palace that day, why did you suddenly enter the palace and escaped with me?"

Wu Song quickly chewed the candied haws and swallowed it, and said: "I was dragged into the palace by the dog that day. Si Ye was seriously injured and fell into a coma. The imperial concubine arranged a carriage to take us out of the palace."

"Chang Yinyu?" Zhuo Ran's eyes lit up, and he said, "Do you know where he and Uncle Zhou went in the end?"

Wu Song shook his head and said, "I don't know..."

Zhuo Ran sighed deeply, and finally said in a trembling voice: "Then... have you met my master?"
