Si Tian Guan

    "Yu Gonggong."

    "The emperor is asleep?" Yu Dexi was a little surprised.

    The emperor suffered from insomnia for more than ten years, and even often woke up at night with palpitations and called him. It had been a long time since he had seen such a sound sleep.

    "Does Yu Dexi?"

    Didn't wait for Qu Shenzhou to speak, Emperor Yu had turned his face to the side, still with a waking nasal voice.

    "Your Majesty," Yu Dexi hurriedly stepped forward, touched his arms, and replied softly, "The old slave is back."

    When Qu Chenzhou saw him looking at himself from the corner of his eye, he would step back wisely, but heard Emperor Yu call him: "Shen Zhou."

    After that, he didn't say anything. He stood by with his hands down, and his heart skipped a beat when he saw Yu Dexi took out two gold-red porcelain vases from his arms.

    Liu Chongming told him that when he came back from the palace.

      Connected", "Disaster and Disaster".

    So the sin-born children in Jinpingzhuang have always been nourished with medicinal herbs.

    Years of hard work and spiritual support were destroyed, and Emperor Yu's physical and mental conditions were stagnant overnight, how could he not find a reason for his anger?

    No wonder Yu Dexi is not by the emperor's side today, I am afraid that Zhongming has found a new "grass replacement".

    Qu Chenzhou stood silently for a moment, seeing that Emperor Yu was drinking warm tea and drinking the contents of the two porcelain vases, then he waved again.

    "Sink, come here."

    He lowered his head slightly, answered with a light yes, passed by Yu Dexi, and knelt before the couch, holding Emperor Yu's feet.

    "Yu Dexi, go out and wait."

    Yu Dexi looked at the brand new tiles on the red wall from the corridor, and a begonia stretched out from the next door.

    Just as she was fascinated, the little **** on the side had cleverly picked up the cushion and was about to help him sit down.

    He waved his hand and asked casually, "How long has Qu Sitian been here?"

    The little **** thought carefully and answered cautiously: "It should be more than an hour."

    "He has been serving the emperor just now?"

    "Yes," the little **** replied: "The emperor announced Qu Sitian's reply, but the servants did not dare to listen, but the emperor seemed to be angry, and Eunuch Zhao sent some medicine in."

    "It's rare for the emperor to have the patience to talk to people for so long. It seems that Qu Sitian really pleases the emperor." Yu De smiled and squinted: "What do you think of Qu Sitian? "

    The little **** was flattered, knowing that Qu Sitian is now a big celebrity in front of the emperor, how dare he say a bad word, he quickly replied: "The slaves dare not talk about Qu Sitian."

    "It's just a casual question, it's just a family chat, let's hear it."

      , is also from a bitter background, he is kind to everyone, and it is not surprising that the emperor likes him."

    "Yeah," Yu Dexi said slowly: "He's really likable. To put it simply, I can't help but like such a child."

    The little **** Nuonuo responded, and he seemed to be talking to himself.

    "When did you not serve the emperor like this last time?"

    They stood outside the door for about half an hour before Qu Chenzhou exited from the inside, saw Yu Dexi, and bowed respectfully.

    "Yu Gonggong worked hard."

    "Qu Sitian worked hard," Yu Dexi hurriedly returned the salute and asked, "Is the emperor asleep?"

    "Wake up after sleeping for a while, waiting for my father-in-law," Qu Chenzhou remembered something, took out a splendid purse in his sleeve, and handed it with both hands: "I have something to think about. Excuse me, father-in-law."

    Yu Dexi went to help, but did not answer: "Qu Sitian is welcome, if there is anyone in our family who can help, please order as soon as possible."

    "When I went to Divination for Lord Ning today, I got something from Lord Ning. I live in the palace, and I don't have any expenses..."

    He guessed that this purse should be the gold and silver rewarded by King Ning, and was about to reject it when he heard Qu Chenzhou say: "If the father-in-law has time to leave the palace, can you trouble the father-in-law...for me Bring back some fun gadgets so I can pass the time."

    Yu Dexi laughed, and the purse was naturally handed to him without being rejected.

    "Qu Sitian is polite, we will definitely handle the little things for Qu Sitian."

    The weight of the purse is not light, Yu Dexi flipped it twice in his hand, looked at the back of Qu Chenzhou leaving, and laughed: "I can talk and do things properly. People love children."

    He paused, and his voice gradually became colder.

    "Prince Huai is right. Since he is so likable...why won't he please the prince?"

    Qu Chenzhou was led all the way back to Guanxing Pavilion.

    Wen Lan Pavilion used to be a place to store books.

    Stepping on the last step, free from all eyes, his legs finally started to tremble, and he almost exhausted his last strength before barely shrinking on the bed and rolling himself on the ground in the quilt.

    It was almost...but he flinched.

      Give him the task of refining the medicine pill.

    But it's also a gamble.

    The emperor may not really be asleep, I am afraid he is also secretly scrutinizing him.

    If he failed to convince the emperor before the emperor asked Jin Wuwei to take him down, there was only a sharp butcher's knife waiting for him.

    If he was alone in the past, he would have no turning back, but now he is actually afraid...withdrew.

    Qu Chenzhou's breathing was heavy, so he could only cover himself with a quilt, trembling uncontrollably all over his body.

    "Re..."

    He called softly and blocked the voice behind him with the quilt.

    "Don't...don't save me...I'll be afraid of death..." Qu Chenzhou held his head, desperately trying to forget the words echoing in his mind, silently whimpering: "Chongming..."

    Liu Chongming woke up suddenly, most of the candlelight in front of him was blocked, it was the cloak covering him.

    In the past, when he fell asleep on the desk involuntarily, someone always pulled a cloak to cover him.

    "Shen..."

    He failed to call the name out, and he saw Baishiyan sitting on the chair by the window, looking at himself, his throat stuck, wiped his face, and gradually woke up , smiled self-deprecatingly.

    "Shiyan, I dreamed of him again, dreamed of him... calling my name, dreamed that he missed me."

    Baishiyan has heard him say this more than once, but every time he sees him in such a dejected appearance, he still has a bad taste in his heart.

    The cousin in front of him looks no different from before, but he will never go back to the past.

    "Shen Zhou is in the palace," he tried to comfort: "Wait... until that day, I will be able to pick him up from the palace, and then you can have a good talk. He will treat you well. It's good to dig out your heart and your lungs, and I definitely don't want to see you like this."

    Liu Chongming reluctantly raised the corner of his mouth, did not dare to think too much, just smiled and replied: "Don't worry, I understand."

    It was already dark, and when he woke up, the lights in the study were all lit.

    There are stacks of books on the table.

    The shops in various places are his main source of money and news, and he cannot slack off in any case.

    The chores of Camp Splendid are assigned a lot, but there are still many things that he needs to make up his mind.

    To find the rhythm of sin-born children, you must always watch the reaction of the emperor.

    The big and small trivial things made him not dare to be distracted and slack, but exhaustion was inevitable, and he didn't even remember when he fell asleep.

    Baishiyan hadn't come yet.

    "Anything?" he asked.

    "King Qi will leave the capital in a few days, let me ask you about your arrangement," Baishiyan shook his head outside: "Jiang Xingzhi is here too, see you ."

    Liu Chongming pressed his temple.

    "King Qi asked the emperor for hundreds of people, and he took them on the road with him. He also knew in his heart that this journey could not be peaceful. More urgent than us, there are still two People must be sent out to follow, don't rush to show up, wait for the opportunity."

    Baishiyan walked out of the study with him and went straight to the flower hall.

    "The emperor asked my father to **** him to Qingxi, and another half a month's journey to enter the fief, I am afraid that no one will be so easy to do."

    "Isn't it a few days before I leave?" Liu Chongming pointed to the flower hall with his chin.

    "Will King Qi be at ease with his uncle? Thousands of Bai family troops hold him, can he eat and sleep? Let Jiang Xingzhi scare him again, he won't look for him It's a ghost if the emperor refuses. If my uncle has the opportunity to send him over the Shili Pavilion, he will be in heaven."

    Baishiyan scoffed at this: "The heart of a villain."

    "We are all villains now," Liu Chongming reminded: "Have you thought about letting him live to the fief?"

    There were lights in the flower hall, Jiang Xingzhi stood under the corridor, and the shadow dragged from the door all the way to the bluestone path.

    Liu Chongming's foot just stepped on the shadow, and his heart suddenly seemed to be beaten.

    This situation seems familiar.

    A few months ago, there was another person beside Jiang Xingzhi. At that time, he naively thought that until the end of the day, as long as he looked up, he could see that shadow.

    But, no more.

    Every space in the house is telling him that there is no more.

    "Sir, General Bai," Jiang Xingzhi walked down the steps quickly, not in the mood to greet them, and said directly: "The day before yesterday, Qu Shenzhou went to King Qi's mansion, and gave King Qi divination and hexagrams. The saying is 'the halberd is flat to the west, and the mountains are not near the water'."

    Liu Chongming frowned, looking at the map unfolding in Jiang Xingzhi's hand under the light of the lantern.

    "The King of Qi asked me to discuss the route. Jiping is bound to go, but there are several ways to go. He has considered whether to believe Qu Chenzhou's hexagram."

    "I said, the emperor has appointed countless Sitian officials, only this one, not only made an exception to serve in the palace, but also got the woven gold clothes within a few months, there must have been Humanity."

    "So the final route I decided was to avoid waterways and take Yingshui to Jiping."

    Liu Chongming's fingers extended westward along the line he said.

    "This official road is also deserted. I will let Fang Wuyang take people there in advance and contact you at any time along the way."

    Baishiyan looked up from the map, a little surprised, and asked Jiang Xingzhi: "You stayed well in the Taishi Bureau, why do you have to follow King Qi?"

    Jiang Xingzhi hummed, as if affirming himself, and replied, "Yes."

    Liu Chongming looked at the map, because of that hexagram, even the word Jiping became warm.

     The minister is about to be sealed, don't you want to stay and see?"

    Jiang Xingzhi seemed to be staring at the map intently. It took a while for him to react, and he smiled sadly: "The congratulations have been given ahead of time, and it's a sure thing, even if you don't look at it, it doesn't matter."

    "Why are you leaving?"

    Liu Chongming clutched the map and pressed it against his pounding heart, for fear that it would explode at any time.

    "Why are you leaving, I clearly said..."

    Baishiyan and Jiang Xingzhi looked at him.

    Several people around him know about his recent situation, but they are all outsiders, and no one can say anything, even they have different opinions.

    Baishiyan is closest to each other, and both sides can't let go, neither of them can be blamed, and he sighs when he mentions it. But he didn't regret it after asking, but after thinking about it for a long time, the answer was no.

    They are all adults, each with their own means and goals, how can it be said who is the springboard and who is the blade?

    Ling He is not good at telling people right and wrong. He drank with Liu Chongming once, and asked the emperor once, and invited Qu Sitian to Dali Temple to help.

    The two closed the door and didn't know what to talk about. All they knew was that before Qu Sitian got into the car and returned to the palace, he turned around and gave Ling He a solemn salute.

    Compared with Linghe's attitude, Rong Jiu'an is obviously partial to Qu Shenzhou

    —If it were me, I would do the same.

    Jiang Xingzhi agreed with this sentence, but did not have the courage to say goodbye to Mu Jingchen.

    The only consensus they have is that the bell must be tied, whether it is for Liu Chongming or Qu Shenzhou.

    When he was about to pass through the hanging flower gate, he didn't know if he thought that he would not come again in the future, Jiang Xingzhi turned back and said a few words.

    "Sir, I once asked Qu Chenzhou a question, if he was given two choices - one for love and giving up hatred, and one for hatred and giving up love, which one would he choose? "

    Liu Chongming was a little dazed at first, and gradually became sober in these words: "Shen Zhou chose... what?"

    "He said that he used to choose hatred, but now, he has people he wants to protect, so what can he give up."

    Jiang Xingzhi turned his face away.

    "I'm not trying to comfort you. Although he is the only person I can't see through, I know that a person like him is only satisfied with mere love?"

    "If you really understand him, you should think clearly about what he wants most."

    Jiang Xingzhi felt a little tight in his chest.

    People always seem to be like this, persuading others, but trapped in their own shackles.

    "If you see Jingchen, please say something to me, congratulations."

    The author has something to say:    The emperor is the best weapon now
