Leaving the Shenyan Fang, Wu Xian transferred a well-behaved and clever guy from the Fang, and drove the three of us to the ferry port on the outskirts of Beijing.

Shen Laihan can take a one-month long vacation, and at this moment he will say goodbye to me and return to Duanzhou in the south.

Duanzhou is known as the most prosperous and prosperous in the world, and is the base camp of the Shen family, one of the four major scholars. The Shen family controlled a quarter of the finances of the Dayue Dynasty, and it was in a safe corner, and the emperor was still a little afraid of it. Shen Laihan will leave home to become a doctor in the palace where he is not familiar with life, and everyone who cares knows that he is a hostage.

At noon that day, the two of us seemed to have a disagreement, and the carriage was not like the old quarrel, and it was a little strangely calm. I was angry at him for not knowing what to say, but I didn't know why he was silent. Wu Xian sensed that something was wrong, and his eyes signaled to me, and I turned my face away, and I didn't know it.

Even so, watching the familiar figure slowly lift the water and leave as the Shen family picked him up, I felt very reluctant in my heart. As he walked away with his back to the bow of the boat, I couldn't help but shout, "Take care." ”

As soon as the voice fell, he slowly turned around and beckoned. At this time, the ship was already at a point, and it was impossible to see the expression on his face at that time.

After saying goodbye, I took advantage of the month of being out of the palace to play around, looking for joy everywhere, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, so uncomfortable. On the surface, he is playing, but in private he is very busy. I was anxious, not only to run around looking for clues about Empress Jing back then, but also to go to various secret stakes to order my subordinates to change the sky. In the heat of July and August, I sweated faster than I could get.

Obviously, I was excited to think that I would be able to fly away in the near future, and the energy I had stored for a long time was bursting at the moment, and I hated to divide it into two halves. It's a pity that the body is not forgiving, and it is still weakening day by day.

Soon, a small sneeze one night forced me to stay in bed for eight or nine days. That's when I really thought about the coming of my time. Wu Wu also took over everything in my hands as he wished, and only told me to rest carefully in a deep voice.

At this time, the fake recuperation has also become the real recuperation. After a few shadows left in a hurry that night, no one watched the fake show and sang it.

So, in the best room in a picturesque villa outside Beijing, I leaned on the head of my bed sickly and listened to the unforgiving recount of the big and small things that had happened recently.

Wu Xian's hands were not idle, and he quickly peeled an apple. According to the news that Wu Yu received from the Underworld Pavilion from time to time, the eldest prince Mo Dongyan and the king of the Xiongyu Kingdom had already arrived in Beijing, and the specific time was very secret. King Gon now lives in the palace and brings a peace petition written by the lord of the country. Everything about King Gon is very secretive, he rarely appears in front of the world on weekdays, and it is difficult to know his true face, only that he is soft and beautiful, and his personality is gentle but detached.

During the month I was away, the palace seemed to be very lively. On that day, not only the few benevolent brothers next to us, but all the earth shadows within ten miles outside the palace received orders to return quickly. It is reported that it seems that someone is causing chaos in the palace, and the situation is urgent.

I bit the apple slowly, gritted my teeth, no wonder the old fox of the dead emperor was so kind to let me come out to relax and recuperate, it turned out to drive me out to sweep the floor and welcome guests.

After peeling the apples, he began to peel the oranges, and the smell of oranges was in front of the bed.

I took a piece of orange petal and continued to listen to the news. Not long ago, the Underworld Pavilion found out that Zhao Jieyang, the chief helmsman of the Jingzhong Martial Arts Bureau, had been subjected to an unknown attack in recent months and was seriously injured. After careful inspection, it was found that it was not a simple martial arts dispute. Zhao Jieyang's identity is very delicate, he was originally a red-clothed guard. His sworn brother, Luo Zhen, the chief of the guard, died tragically at the hands of a man in black a few months ago. The strangest thing is that several forces of this Mencius are pursuing this matter, including the shadow of the emperor's men.

Hearing the name Luo Zhen, my heart jumped slightly. Intuition can involve all kinds of mysteries of the palace back then.

When I heard the shadows, I smiled faintly and said, "Check it out." ”

Wu Yu nodded in agreement, wiped his hands with a white towel, turned around and said, "Jubi has been looking for you recently. ”

"Oh. I replied disapplauded.

He didn't care, turned around and said: "Qiyinglou replied, the 'Playboy' series has begun to sell well." ”

When I heard what I liked, I said, "Not bad." Let them strike while the iron is hot and find a few more 'spokespersons' to publicize. I don't have time to advertise anymore. ”

"Hmm. Wu Yu took out a silk strip from his sleeve and handed it over, "Shen Laifan, Qiyinglou, General Ledger." ”

I opened the silk strip and it was half a meter square. The strands on it are hooked into complex Arabic numerals with gold threads, recording all the accounts of the Qiying Building this year.

The identity of the person who wrote the letter, Shen Laifan, the head of the Shen family, the eldest brother of Shen Laihan, and the owner of Qiying Building. He may be our biggest move in the court.

The small words of mosquitoes and flies pierced my fragile eyes, and I finished browsing them as quickly as I could, threw them to Wu Yu, and said, "I will leave for the palace in two days." It's been a month, and if you don't leave, you won't be able to leave. ”

Wu Yu took the silk slip, put it away carefully, stopped for a moment, then turned around and softly pushed the door to leave.

Sensing that he was gone, I closed my eyes and struggled to lie down.

The breathing was a little urgent, the breath was difficult to balance, in the darkness I felt the blood in my body rolling, the meridians were gradually weakening, and the chaotic sound was constantly echoing in my head, which was uncomfortable and urgent.

I don't need to count to know that death is not far away.

Four days later.

The gorgeous chariot slowly stopped at the main gate of the Liaoting Palace, and a black-clothed guard gently rolled up the blinds and stretched out his hand to support a pale young man. The boy leaned out, his body visible with a little weakness, and he swayed a little when he got up.

The two Peugeot palace maids were waiting respectfully, and when they saw the young man coming out, they said softly: "Welcome Your Highness." ”

A cute-looking little eunuch took a step forward when he heard the sound and helped the young man get out of the car.

The boy let out a long breath, paused, and then slowly moved forward. Suddenly, his legs went limp, he stumbled and stumbled, and his body fell forward. In an instant, the tall guard next to him hurriedly grabbed it with his backhand and straightened the young man's body.

The young man's eyes froze slightly, with a bit of an elusive taste.

The guard secretly brushed the sleeve of the young man's shirt covering the back of his hand, and put his hand on his cold palm, and when they touched, a warm internal force came out of the warm palm. The corners of the boy's eyes opened slightly, and he wanted to take it off, but he was held tightly.

When the boy did not speak, there was silence all around, and everyone bowed down with their eyebrows lowered, so they could not notice their actions at this time.

After a while, a faint flush suddenly appeared on the young man's pale cheeks, and his body gradually warmed. Although it was not obvious, the guards secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The boy whispered, "That's enough." "Slightly angry.

Everyone was terrified in their hearts, thinking that they had brushed their scales again, and their bodies bent even lower.

The young man shook off the guard's hand, and when he saw a few drops of sweat on the guard's forehead, he couldn't help but be annoyed, and he "hummed" hatefully, and scolded and took the lead towards the gate of the Liaoting Palace.

The guard hurried after the boy, his steady gaze gone, replaced by a looming worry

Hearing the footsteps of the two of them leaving, everyone woke up and hurriedly straightened up and followed in small steps.
