Chapter 58 Torrent

The wind and rain outside masked the noise of the night.

Hu Rong stood in the porch, with a solemn expression and was silent for a moment: "I just came out of the palace."

Lu Chengfeng's face was also serious, and after a moment of consideration, he said, "You came here in the rain tonight, is it related to the Xie family?"

Hu Rong nodded, and spoke earnestly: "The emperor broke up with Xie Yunqian in the imperial study."

Lu Chengfeng watched the rain and listened quietly.

"The last time I was in the paddock in Zhoushan, I felt something was wrong. Xie Cen, this kid, also calculated his strength. Although this matter was suppressed, since you can get a reward, why Xie Cen can only praise it in a flat manner." Hu Rong narrowed his eyes, his back was solemn, and sighed, "It's actually a sign."

Lu Chengfeng frowned lightly: "Why on earth, the emperor insists on attacking the Xie family, didn't you say that the new emperor has friendship with Xie Yunqian?"

Hu Rong said: "I'm afraid the problem lies in this. The Xie family maintained neutrality when Xie Yi was alive. Xie Yunqian and the new emperor had a childhood friendship. I'm afraid Xie Yunqian never expressed his position between him and the king. This is a thorn Xie Yi passed away, the cabinet is now dead in name only, and the new emperor allowed the six ministries to fight openly and secretly. The last time the Xie family was attacked in the Nanling disaster and silver case, although Xie Yunqian did not act, he definitely cared about it. The two of them have come to this point It is inevitable, one puts the country and the country in his eyes and even does not hesitate to resort to means, while the other is modest and upright, keeps his friendship in his heart and does not want to reveal it, he can only talk about worldly affairs."

Lu Chengfeng said: "The cabinet no longer exists, and the matter has come to an end, does the emperor still want to hold on to Xie's family?"

Hu Rongyu said earnestly: "You are far away at the border, and you don't understand the relationship between the Yanjing court. Once Xie Yi dies, unless Xie Yunqian resigns himself to protect the family, otherwise the Xie family will only be swallowed up a little bit in the days to come. Xie Yunqian's ability is Outstanding, but still young, he is no better than Xie Yi, unable to deter other families. The Xie family used to be too powerful. At the age of 35, he was a cabinet minister. All six ministries are in his hands. As a result, whenever there is a storm, some people want to fall into trouble, and the world envies the noble lintel, but they hope to see you fall to the bottom and never recover."

There was an indifferent and sarcastic smile on the corner of Lu Chengfeng's mouth, which she really understood.

Lu Chengfeng was silent for a while, and said: "Uncle Hu is here tonight, what orders do you have?"

Hu Rong sighed softly: "Chengfeng, I know that you have some kind of friendship with Xie's family, but after listening to Uncle Hu's persuasion, this kind of friendship is not important, and you should walk less with Xie's family in the future. It's not that I don't ask This matter is just that the emperor has already moved his mind, and being friendly with the Xie family at this time is making an enemy of the new emperor."

Lu Chengfeng turned his head to look at him.

Hu Rong didn't understand the details of this, but if the emperor wanted to kill a person, he didn't need to give an order, and many people would swing the sword for him.

The Xie family has been prosperous for too long, and if it is too full, it will overflow. Xie Yunqian thought that he could do his best in his position, but how could others let him go.

Hu Rong's eyes were full of tiredness, and his eyes saw through the ups and downs of the officialdom like a dry well: "I'm probably really old and can't control these things anymore, but you are different, girl, if you want to go further, you must learn to be wise and protect yourself. "

Hu Rong looked at Ye Yu with his hands behind his back, and said after a while, "...it's really cold in winter."

He was sincerely planning for Lu Chengfeng. Lu Chengfeng knew his kindness, so he didn't ask any more questions, and personally sent Hu Rong out of the house. It was raining heavily tonight, and the corners of her robe were mostly wet when she went back and forth. Close the door behind the house.

Xie Jiuxiao was wearing an ill-fitting inner garment, wrapped in the new cloak that Qing Feng bought her for the winter, and turned her head when she heard the noise.

The two looked at each other, and Xie Jiuxiao had a look of embarrassment on his face. The atmosphere was stiff for a moment, and he was the first to break the deadlock: "I..."

Lu Chengfeng raised a hand to his lips and wanted to cough twice, but before he could move, Xie Jiuxiao who was by the fire suddenly sneezed, and after one sneeze, he sneezed twice as if he was not satisfied.

Lu Chengfeng glanced at the bowl on the table and frowned: "Why didn't you drink ginger soup?"

Xie Jiuxiao raised his head, his eyes were covered with mist from sneezing: "...bitter."

Lu Chengfeng was laughed angrily, thinking that she had put on a straight face just now, her mood was too complicated, she didn't know what to do, and she didn't know how to get along with him in the future, and what Hu Rong said just now, she deliberately looked With a serious expression, he said: "I'll ask Qing Feng to take you back."

Xie Jiuxiao's face paled instantly.

There was a moment of silence in the house.

Immediately Lu Chengfeng stepped back and was about to go out again, Xie Jiuxiao said softly: "Tomorrow... how will you answer Tan Chengyi?"

Lu Chengfeng's hand touching the door latch paused, his eyes flickered, and he opened the door without making a sound and went out.

Xie Jiuxiao closed his eyes, only to feel that his eye sockets were so astringent, and that his chest exploded unbearably, as if he was being rambling about.

She acquiesced without saying a word, and if she acquiesced, she would agree to Tan Chengyi. When she thought of this, and the thought of her standing with Tan Chengyi to watch him in the future, Xie Jiuxiao couldn't bear it.

He grabbed the corner of the cloak tightly, his knuckles turned white, and felt pitiful and ridiculous, and his face was completely ashamed...

Vision began to blur.

Xie Jiuxiao laughed at himself: She's gone, she doesn't care about these things in the future, who is she crying for...

An extremely light and extremely helpless sigh sounded from above his head.

Lu Chengfeng said in a low voice: "Don't cry, the house is almost flooded by your crying, can you not change your habit of crying? I loved crying when I was a child, and I still love to cry when I grow up."

Xie Jiuxiao intensified.

Lu Chengfeng was upset by his crying, subconsciously licked his lips, and subconsciously made a concession: "...What exactly do you want?"

Xie Jiuxiao lowered his head and choked with sobs: "...Don't you ignore me?"

Lu Chengfeng: "..."

Xie Jiuxiao whispered: "...don't promise him."

He covered his face with his hands, and his voice leaked from between his fingers: "Even if you don't like me...but you don't like to talk about Cheng Yi, if that's the case, can't I? I can do whatever he promised..."

Lu Chengfeng was stunned and did not speak. She had used Xie Jiuxiao once, but she never thought about it again.

But she is very clear that if what happened tonight was replaced by someone else, even if she is not the ghost under the knife, she will definitely lose half of her life.

Because it was Xie Jiuxiao.

He is so presumptuous now, half of it is caused by himself, allowing him to approach her without distance. Although it seems that this direction is a bit outrageous now, if she abandons many things, she doesn't want to see Xie Jiuxiao like this.

Lu Chengfeng is too aware of his temper, she is willing to give some things, and is willing to try.

While his mind was chaotic, Lu Chengfeng heard his helpless and indulgent voice: "Okay, I don't promise him."

Xie Jiuxiao raised his head suddenly: "...Really?"

Lu Chengfeng said, "I'm not lying to you."

She looked at Xie Jiuxiao's somewhat nondescript clothes, and stretched out her hands to fasten the loose belt for him.Xie Jiuxiao was stunned and didn't know what this meant. It wasn't until Lu Chengfeng turned around and put the bowl of ginger soup that was about to cool down in the iron pot of the stove to warm it that he stretched out his hand to pull her robe as if triggering some switch.

Lu Chengfeng didn't look back, and said without emotion: "Don't talk now, just be honest."

Xie Jiuxiao pursed his lower lip, and honestly withdrew his hand.

The stove was very hot, and after a while the ginger soup heated up, Lu Chengfeng poured it out again and handed it to the person beside him: "There is no honey at home, so just drink it, it is raining so much, if you don't drive away the cold, you will be sick tomorrow .”

Xie Jiuxiao took it, frowned, took a sip, glanced at Lu Chengfeng, and then took a sip with his head down. Lu Chengfeng just ignored it, found a robe he could wear, and asked Qingfeng to prepare a car to send him back.

　Regarding the update issue.

　　Sometimes I get stuck badly, and I don’t want to sloppy and perfunctory write it out, so I will occasionally delay the update. Sometimes there are too many things to do during the day, and I don’t care about updating at night. There are probably two reasons for not updating.

　　This book has a lot of plots in the early stage, and a little more emotional lines in the later stage. I originally wanted to cut it because of poor grades, but after thinking about it, it is rare for me to frame a big plot for the first time, and I am reluctant.

　　I can't guarantee the update, but it will definitely not be a eunuch. If it is broken on the same day, I will try to make it up the next day.
