Eastward Flow

Eight

The thicker the autumn, the emperor's body became worse after the prince's wedding. After the first frost came to Yuanzhou City, the emperor moved to Xishan Palace because of mental illness and made the prince prisoner.

This time the country was supervised. The emperor gave the prince a tiger amulet of the golden robe guard, and ordered the prince of the Tiantian Division to order Qinglan to assist the government, and he suddenly gave the kingdom to the prince.

In this way, the burden on Zhong Lishuo's body is even heavier. Not to mention, after the winter, the body that had been chilling became more and more unable to withstand such a heavy state policy. In order not to make himself fall, Zhong Lishuo had to pull on his princess and approve the seal together.

The Zhaohui Hall, originally the place where the emperor handled government affairs, is now the place where the prince handles government affairs.

Zhong Lishuo, who was unfamiliar with the politics of the court, followed the princes and slowly explored the path of the emperor. The experienced princess, who once commanded thousands of troops, is now her most suitable learning object.

After meeting with the ministers in Bairi, Zhong Lishuo followed the princess to correct the chapters, and at night he studied according to the books selected by the princes.

As a prince who made his debut halfway through, Zhong Lishuo knew that with his knowledge today, he was far from being qualified for Chu. Only when you can make up for yourself can you perfect yourself.

In addition to being political, Zhong Lishuo needs to learn a lot. Among them are business studies, agronomy and so on.

Zhong Lishuo, who inherited Zhong Lijia's excellent pedigree, is not a mediocre. In the eyes of Xun Jingxi, this prince is the emperor.

In the Prince's position, after only practicing for a year, Zhong Lishuo was obviously very handy. But the more he understood, the clearer he saw, the heavier the burden in Zhong Lishuo's heart.

"How did Ningzhou Assassin take office? Last year, two counties in Liaoyuan County had frozen to death due to the snow disaster. This year's snow disaster came again, but there is no way to solve it. Is Baba just trying to rescue the court?"

The ground dragon in Chaohui Hall was burning very hot, but Zhong Lishuo, who was wrapped in a dagger holding a hand stove, still felt cold, especially after seeing the memorials in the Ningzhou Assassination History.

The princess sitting next to her looked at the memorial requesting relief from the court, glanced at the frowning prince, and sighed, "What can your Highness do about this?"

"So faint and incompetent, I really want to fire his post for His Majesty!"

Zhong Lishuo was helpless, picked up the choir with a hate, stared, and let down a long sigh, sighing, "But I can't move him yet. He is a left-hander, and now the minister is in power, if I move His people, there must be chaos in the court, right? "

Tong Jingyi glanced at her and comforted him: "Wait for His Royal Highness to slowly deploy his staff, and there will always be a day to punish him."

Zhong Lishuo glanced at her, and said, "These corrupt officials take the people's money for joy. This is also greedy, that is also greedy, and now even the people's life-saving money is greedy. It is really difficult to live in such a world."

"At the beginning of the year, the Ministry of Family Affairs allocated money to repair the road in Ningzhou, and the drought in Ningzhou and Lizhou in the summer. They also allocated money. Now they still ask the treasury for money."

"Can't give it, as long as Zuo Zhan gains power for a day, those minions will show up for a day. If you don't give it, the people in the two counties will suffer. Prince, what do you think is good?"

Xi Jingjing looked at Zhong Lishuo, who was frowning, and thought for a moment, and said, "It's better to leave it to Zuo Xun to let him raise food, and then he sent the supervisor Tian Si to take a walk to Ningzhou to appease the people. "

Zhong Lishuo thought for a while and said, "A good idea is to think of a way to let him spit it out."

The two discussed the matter for a moment, and it was too late for Qi Jingxi to see the hour, and said, "His Royal Highness, the memorial is almost over. Now it is not too early to go back to rest."

Zhong Lishuo nodded and turned to tell the waiter to prepare.

There is a long way to go from the Palace of Chaohui to the East Palace. Now that the winter is cold and windy, Zhong Lishuo can only go back by car.

Even though he was wearing a heavy coat and was holding a stove, he could walk out of the Chaohui Hall, and Zhong Lishuo was frozen by the cold wind blowing on his face.

She flinched, buried her face in the big furry collar, exhaled, and said, "The winter in Yuanzhou City is really cold year by year."

Tong Jingjing, also wearing a big cock, stood beside her and looked at her. In the night, Zhong Lishuo, who was carrying a long body, seemed to be coniferous and crooked by heavy snow.

She stepped forward and stood in front of Zhong Lishuo, blocking her from the cold wind with a low body, and said, "The weather is getting colder, and we will go back to your Highness soon."

The waiter carried a lantern shivering in the cold wind and led Zhong Lishuo down the steps. Zhong Lishuo followed behind Jingjing Xu and got on the train with her.

Xu was worried. When Zhong Lisuo boarded the car, she stretched out her hand. When the hands touched each other, the temperature below his palm made Zhong Lishuo exclaim. As soon as she got into the car and closed the doors and windows, she hurriedly hurried the hand stove to Tong Jingyi's arms. "The crown prince's hands are so cold that they must be frozen. Hey, you should also hold a hand stove."

"Tomorrow will still be so cold, we won't be able to handle the government affairs at the Zhaohui Hall. It happens that there is a warm house in the East Palace, and we will go there tomorrow. Save the daily rush and be tired of my prince to accompany me to the cold."

Zhong Lishuo said, reaching out to touch Jing Jing's face, and after touching a cold, he complained: "I know that the earth dragon in Chaohui Hall is not warm enough, your face is really cold. Hold the stove, Go back and make a warm soup again, then warm up and go to sleep. "

She said she retracted her hands, put them in her sleeves, and shrunk her slender body in the corner, whispering with Jing Jingyi.

Wu Jingxi held her hand stove, and looked a little timidly as she ended the series of actions. It took me a while to chuckle, and said, "My Highness, I'm not cold." She said, returning the hand stove to Zhong Lishuo, and said, "Your Highness, use it by yourself."

"Nonsense, your hands are cold and your face is very cold."

"His Royal Highness's hands are too hot." Tong Jingxi shoved the stove into her arms, and stretched her hands over her cheeks. "Look, Your Highness's face is much colder than my hands."

Zhongli Shuoton paused and said, "Isn't the prince really cold?"

Yun Jingxi shook his head: "It's not cold. I have practiced martial arts all year round, and my blood is stronger than that of His Highness."

When Zhong Lishuo heard it, he was still a bit uneasy. She stretched out her hand and held up Jing Jingyan, "Then the Crown Prince, come here, I will warm your hands."

Tong Jingxuan leaned in, Zhong Lishuo took her in his arms, and covered her hands with both hands, held the hand stove in her arms, and bowed her ears and said, "I'll hold you."

Damp and hot soft words sprinkled on the earlobe, easily fiddled with the heartstrings under the night. Xi Jingxuan leaned into a thin, warm embrace, and heard the prince say, "Hug together, it won't be cold. That's what my mother said to me when I was young."

Subsequent journeys followed the turning axles of the bones. The carriages entered the East Palace and stopped in front of the main hall. Zhong Lishuo took the lead in dismounting the horse and dragged down Jing Jingyu.

The first time he landed, Zhong Jingshu's gaze fell on Zhong Lishuo, but he saw the man standing at the door of the temple, looking up, and looking at the vast night sky.

I don't know when the catkins of snow fell with the wind. The bright lights in front of the hall illuminated the trail of flying snow.

Zhong Lishuo folded his sleeves and looked at the snow falling in a row, exhaling a white breath, "Yuanzhou City also began to snow."

The first snow night was the coldest night since Yuanzhou City entered winter.

Wu Jingxi knew that the prince was chilling, and the waiter added a blanket this night. The fire in the temple was high, but even so, Zhong Lishuo had an extra stove when he fell asleep.

Qi Jingxi was already full of vitality, and she was in bed with Zhong Lishuo that night, lying in this too warm quilt, and she couldn't sleep.

The person near the pillow was breathing smoothly, and Li Jingying was lying flat on the bed with his eyes closed and nourishing energy. The wind screamed outside, blowing Baixue into chaos.

The screaming wind and the breathing of the pillow blended together to create a reassuring rhythm. Gradually, a drowsiness of drowsiness lingered on, and Jing Jingyan's breathing was gentle.

Until a cool body crashed into her arms, she would awaken from the dreamy sceneries. She reached out subconsciously, but hugged a thin body.

Breathing stagnation, his fingertips trembled, and Jing Jingyu lowered his voice, hesitantly called, "His Royal Highness?"

The man in his arms responded to a few nightmares, curling up her slender body, and getting closer to the arms of Ji Jingxi.

Xi Jingxi had no choice but to reach out and embrace her into his arms, only to find that this person's temperature was lower than that of ordinary people. She put her hand in Zhong Lishuo's arms, and found that the kettle she was holding before going to bed was really gone.

A chuckling came from the night, and Tong Jingxi leaned slightly to her side, taking the prince who was curled up like a child into her arms, and against her hair, whispered, "Sleep, Your Highness."

That night passed in the snow and snow.

Waking up the next day, it was still deep into the night. Zhong Lishuo got up from the warm quilt, reached out to the temple, and could not help but snore.

"His Highness is awake?"

The woman's gentle voice came from outside the temple, awakening her dim head. Zhong Lishuo answered with a reply, "Prince Princess got up so early again. Since it's up, why don't you light up?"

"Is your Highness going to get up? I'll tell someone to order it."

As soon as the words fell, the footsteps of the maids kept coming. After a while, the dim light came in through the heavy account.

Zhong Lishuo narrowed his eyes, took a breath, and finally gathered up the courage and raised the curtain.

"Your Highness, get dressed."

The woman's hand stopped in front of her eyes, and her eyes met unexpectedly. Zhong Lishuo paused for a moment, and answered with a smile: "This is not up."

With that said, he opened the quilt and stepped out of bed.

The neatly dressed princess took the clothes the maid was holding, and put them on the prince one by one.

The prince opened the bed, and let the princess put on her warm clothes, and asked sadly, "Is the snow stopped?"

"Just stopped short." The crown prince reached out, arranged her collar for her, and buckled her belt down.

"Ah, that's good." The Prince nodded and said to the Princess: "Stop in the morning, it was a real snow last night."

"Yes."

Last night was indeed the best snow she had ever encountered in her life.

The crown prince continued until the summer of the following year, until the emperor returned from the palace. In this short period of more than half a year, Zhong Lishuo relied on Jing Jingyu to discover several young talents and complete his embryonic form of power.

Among them were Le Zhengzheng Su Yanqing, Xu Renqing and Cui Jian who were transferred to Yuanzhou.

However, after entering the summer, the emperor returned to the palace, but Zhong Lisuo's originally strengthened princely status began to be in danger.

All this is because of a rumor in Yuanzhou City.

The destiny lord sits in the palace.

Yuanzhou City entered summer with heavy rain, and Donggong fluttered due to the rumors.

Regarding the crown prince concubine Jing Jing as the destiny's destiny, the rumors that Zhong Li's palace would be replaced by Zhong Li's seat in the city are filled with enthusiasm. The emperor, who had just returned from the palace, presided over the first imperial edict after the administration of the imperial court, which was to abolish the post of the princely concubine.

This intention was so sudden that even all those who princes and concubines did not respond. The prince during the meeting only met for a moment, and soon he held the jade calf to argue with the emperor.

But no matter what she said, the emperor just looked at her coldly, and even wounded the prince with paperweight in the chapel. The mother and daughter broke up at the chapel.

After the pilgrimage, the emperor ordered the prince to ban in the East Palace for a month. In this regard, the Princess, who was also caught by surprise, chose to comfort the Prince and wait for it to change.

"Wait? Princess, I can wait, but not so much. Your Majesty is assuming your job today, tomorrow?"

"I can't just sit back and wait for Her Majesty to be so nonsense."

The prince who said such a thing, squeezed the pale to green fist exposed fist strongly, clutched the thin body, and the clear eyes showed a firm and regretless light.

The princess gazed at her, looking from her expression of helplessness and desperation as if she were a cub.

"Even if it flows into the market, even if it becomes a sinner through the ages, I will not let His Majesty destroy the Chu Kingdom."

North Korea has not invaded for a long time, but has been watching the border for many years. Chu's internal affairs were chaotic and corrupt officials were rampant. She managed to put in good manpower, but now she has lost the lead.

The crown prince has soldiers. As long as there are soldiers, they can deter small children at home and abroad. But now, due to rumors, he lost a loyal minister. If they just gave in to the soldiers, it wouldn't matter, but they want more than just the soldiers, but also the life of the princess.

The rumors of the city-wide demon girl asking her Majesty to kill the rumors, in order to forever endure the trouble, in order to be the crown prince's concubine.

Zhong Lishuo is not stupid, and after the emperor's will, she made up her mind.

A few days later, the emperor suffered a brain attack and had to lift the prince's foot ban, causing her to re-administer state affairs. Zhong Lishuo knew that her opportunity was here.

From the moment she stepped out of the East Palace, she said to the princess, "I will protect you."

Since she is her wife, and since she is her ally, she will protect 禤 景 宸 desperately.

Her hunch was too strong. The first thing the emperor summoned her was really for the princely concubine.

It was a dim afternoon, and there was no sunlight under the hazy sky. Zhong Lishuo knelt on the cold floor of the palace, looking at the shadow of the mountains sitting in front of the case, his body shaking.

"What did you say just below you? The children did not hear me."

In the dim palace study, the figure of the emperor was hidden in the darkness, with only a pale face and a pair of cold eyes: "I want you to rest the prince and marry the daughter of Zuo.

"The Crown Prince was married by Her Majesty, why does Her Majesty want her sons to retire her now?" Zhong Lishuo took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down, word by word.

"That's why I didn't know she was a usurper!" The emperor's voice sounded very low, mixed with infinite coldness.

Although it was summer, Zhong Lishuo felt that the floor of the palace was very cold. The coldness spread from the knee to the whole body, and when she climbed up the back, she fought a cold war. "Just because of the nonsense of Jiantian Division, the princess will be suspended, and the sons and daughters cannot do it!"

"I want you to rest, you just rest, do you have to fight against an outsider?" The emperor's voice was abruptly raised and said sharply.

"The princess is not an outsider, and the princess is the wife of the children."

"Wife? Oh, Zhaoming, your wife is for you, and your Donggong is for you. If you don't listen to you, I will abandon you today."

Zhong Lishuo straightened his waist, looked straight up at the emperor, and Shen said, "If your Majesty insists that I divorce my wife, then I'll abandon me."

"You you you ..." The emperor trembled, pointed his finger at the prince, and said three you in a row. She stroked her chest, breathed violently, touched the platform with her hand, and smashed it towards Zhong Lishuo's forehead.

With a bang, Yantai hit the ground straight from the Prince. The emperor caressed the table, coughed fiercely, and said fiercely, "Zhong Lishuo, do you want to disobey me?"

"Children are not ..."

"Shut up, shut up!"

"You are just like Yaner, one and two are for outsiders.

The prince was shocked, looking up at the emperor, but in the darkness, the emperor covered her mouth with one hand and stared fiercely at her.

There was dark red blood dripping from the fingers, and the prince opened his mouth and tried to call the doctor, but when he saw the emperor put down his hand, the corners of his lips were bloody, and said fiercely, "I should kill you. I knew that now, I should kill you. Before Zaoyan died for you, when you were born, like your father, you were crushed and thrown into cold water. "

With a thunder, a thunderbolt cut through the window, and Zhong Lishuo looked up to see the pale face of the emperor.

It was an extremely beautiful face, in this dim light, like the night monarch Mu Li from Guihui.

A drop of rain smashed to the ground, and then the sound of the rain rang out.

In the thunderous thunder, Zhong Lishuo knelt on the floor, listening intermittently to the emperor: "If you are not Yan'er's daughter, how can you stay to this day."

"Your father robbed my sister, and I killed his family."

"Yan'er still guarded him, so I didn't kill him. As a result, she said that she would stay with me in Lenggong all her life, but died for you."

"Zhong Lishuo, you are a scourge!"

The thunder outside the house was very loud, mixed with the emperor's madness, rushing into Zhong Lishuo's ears madly, making her head hum.

She knelt on the floor, trying to understand the meaning of the emperor's words.

Yaner ... Who is Yaner?

Suddenly she remembered many dusty details, the face that had always been fuzzy.

It was a face that was exactly the same as the emperor, but very gentle.

It was the emperor's twin sister, Princess Dachu Zhongli Yan.

The thunderstorm continued till the evening, and Zhong Lishuo, who was kneeling on the ground, became cold. She looked up and looked at the already-mad Emperor, slowly stood up, and said, "Your Majesty, what Her Majesty said today, all the sons and daughters do not know. At night, the sons and daughters went back."

She said, bowed, and turned out of the study.

"Stop it for me! Stop!"

"Did you even leave me?"

"Smoke!"

Zhong Lisuo's footsteps were slightly stagnant, and he quickly left the study, saying to the waiter outside: "Your majesty is unwell, please ask the supervisor to come over."

She only said one sentence, completely disregarding the angry emperor in the study room, and stepped out of the gate of the palace.

It was pouring rain, rendering the sky very gloomy.

Zhong Lishuo stepped into the rain, and the waiters followed her with an umbrella, but she ordered her to stop. The clever waiter followed behind, but another hurriedly ran back to the East Palace and found the prince.

She was alone, drenched in the rain, and walked towards the deep palace.

"This emperor was originally rampant!"

The emperor's roar was still in his ears, and he spit out the secret history of more than ten years ago to Zhong Lishuo.

Why she lived in the cold palace from an early age, and why the emperor has never been so cold to her, all have answers.

mother……

mother……

The cold rain hit his face, soaking the warmth in Zhong Lishuo's eyes.

She walked through the long palace corridor to the closed door, walked wet to the door, and knelt softly.

Wet hands climbed the heavy door, and Zhong Lishuo pressed his face to the door, as if he had heard the tender whispers of his youth.

"Zhong Lichen ... you are a lunatic ..."

She murmured, letting the rain cover up her words.

She remembered her mother's tender attachment when she spoke of His Majesty, her expression of holding Shakuhachi, and her mother's death in the arms of the Emperor.

Many, many years ago, the pictures that she had forgotten rushed into Zhong Lishuo's mind and attacked her body with the cold air.

She fell in front of Leng Gong, and hurriedly followed the waiter behind her, helping her up.

The thunder roared, and the cars and horses belonging to the East Palace stopped in front of the Leng Palace. The princess who came down immediately looked at the prince who had fainted in front of the door, hurried over and took her into her arms.

"His Royal Highness ... Your Highness ..."

The princess queried a few times, holding the wet prince, worried.

She looked at the rain curtain, hesitated for a moment, struck the prince in her arms horizontally, stepped into the carriage and horse of the East Palace, and hugged her all the way back to the East Palace.

That night, it rained all night.

The dispute between the emperor and the prince in the palace soon passed into the ears of the ministers. The political affairs of Yuanzhou City were plunged into heavy rain, making it unclear.

After the Prince returned from the palace, he became seriously ill after catching a cold because of the rain. The princess was guarding the couch and kept her all night.

It wasn't until the next morning that the prince woke up from a nightmare and she was relieved.

"Prince, hard work." The awakened Prince cleared yesterday's ruined state of mind and said with a smile and Tong Jingxi.

"His Royal Highness is fine, drink the medicine soup, rest for a day today, and the government will ignore it for the time being." Xi Jingjing holding the medicine soup, took a spoonful, put it on the lips, and cooled it to the Prince's mouth .

The prince bowed his head and covered the spoon. When he looked up, he saw the blue and black in the eyes of the concubine, reached out and took the medicine bowl in her hand, and said, "I'll do it myself, so be quick."

With that said, no matter how hot the medicine soup is, I just drank it while holding the medicine bowl.

"His Royal Highness, be careful." The Crown Princess called anxiously, slowing her down. The prince who drank the medicine quickly drank the medicine soup, put down the medicine bowl, held the crown prince's hand, and whispered softly: "Today, the prince will not go out, accompany me to rest."

The princess looked at the pale face of the prince, nodding her head slightly, and went to bed with her.

The two lay down together, and Zhong Lishuo naturally hugged her prince and put it in her ear, saying, "Sleep."

Tong Jingxi nodded, her cheeks buried in her shoulders, and she said, "His Royal Highness, what did Your Highness and Her Highness say yesterday?"

It turned out that one man ran into the rain.

Zhong Lishuo's fingertips trembled, and he chuckled, saying, "It's nothing, it's just ..."

But it's crazy.

Either she or the emperor was crazy.

She approached Jing Jingyan and said softly in her ear, "Prince, I think, ask you something."

"His Royal Highness."

"Anyway, don't hand over the soldiers, will you?"

Wu Jing froze, but listened to Zhong Lishuo's warm words in her ears, "If Jian Tian Si is true, then the Crown Prince will bring a happy world to the people."

One, neither her nor the emperor can give the world a peace.

The emperor has gone mad. This mad emperor will push Chu to the abyss. If this is the sin she was destined to carry, let her end it all.

Wu Jingxi didn't answer. She noticed a strange despair in the gentle voice of the prince. So she stretched out her hand, grabbed the thin body that was holding her, and bit her lips tightly.

The author has something to say:

The prince always thought that she was the one she took the initiative to take, not your own. 2k novel reading network
