"Your Majesty, the little marquis has returned to Beijing. ”

With a slight drop of the teacup in his hand, Li Zongzhi lowered his head and pondered for a while, and asked, "Where is the person?"

"I'm waiting in the Jianqiu Pavilion. Zong Ran put the cloak on Li Zongzhi and said, "It seems that he has just entered the city, and he looks tired, maybe he came in a hurry all the way." ”

"Hmph. Li Zongzhi frowned extremely unhappily, and walked towards the door: "He was in a hurry just because he wanted to return to that person earlier, so I didn't let him get his wish." ”

Zong Ran listened to that, followed a few steps with some concern, and suddenly said softly: "I heard that Wu Feiyun took people to Jinling. ”

"I know. ”

"Your Majesty, forgive the slave for saying a lot, the power of the military minister has recently expanded again, and the emperor now has General Mo and others by his side, why not-"

With a slight flick of his finger, Li Zongzhi paused, stood in place for a long time, and suddenly turned around and walked to the stone fence, looked at the snowy sky, and said, "Do you think Bai Yan will forget that person?"

"Does the emperor mean that the flawless son?" Zong Ran glanced at the person in front of him, a little uneasy, thought about it, and finally said: "The slave thinks that it is difficult. ”

"He is Leng Gongzi, and the forces he has developed are all enemies of my Great Jin, why do you think I don't do my best to contain Wu Xiang's henchmen. When Leng Gongzi's power rose, I was still young, and the military minister controlled the government with one hand, and since then, he has been fighting with that person, I am now older, and the imperial power is in my hands, but Leng Gongzi's power still exists, and the hostility between Xiang Guofu and him has not changed. The so-called two tigers must be injured when they fight, and no matter which one of them is defeated, it will only remove one obstacle for me, you say, should I rush to eradicate one side and put myself in a state of being attacked on the back of the belly, or will it be better to wait for them to fight to the death, and then go all out against the other. ”

Zong Ran took a deep breath and bent down.

The man in front of him was no longer the crying child hiding in the Xuancheng Palace, he had endured humiliation for so many years, and he had learned how to make the most beneficial choice for himself.

Jiuyuan is a mighty marquis, there is a little marquis of General Mo in Kyoto, the power of the Wu family and his son is contained, but the battle between Leng Gongzi and him has been continuous, at this moment, if he hides under a safe thick shield, he will not let himself be harmed, but he can control a qiē.

"The minion understood. ”

Li Zongzhi retracted his gaze, smiled at Zong Ran, and said: "Understand what, I am just an emperor who only indulges in the hustle and bustle of wine every day, if they want to fight, let them fight, go, go and see the naughty boy who turns the world upside down everywhere." ”

"Your Majesty. The palace maid of the Jianqiu Pavilion knelt on the ground to greet the man, and as soon as he entered the door, Li Zongzhi was stunned, and then slowed down and went to the desk.

"Your Majesty, do you want the slave to wake him up?" Zong Ran went to the side, and saw that the little marquis was asleep on the table, so he stretched out his hand to shake him, but Li Zongzhi blocked his hand and said, "Let him sleep, let someone take a thick cloak to cover him, let's go." ”

"Didn't the emperor have something to ask the little marquis. ”

"Let's go. Li Zongzhi didn't say anything more, turned around and walked towards the door, Zong Ran followed behind, arrived at the door, and said, "Go and get a thick cloak to cover the little marquis." ”

"Yes. The palace maid responded, but was stopped by Li Zongzhi again.

"Let him close all the doors, and let him not go out here, and I will come back in two days. ”

"Yes. ”

Zong Ran was dumbfounded on the side, what is the emperor?

Did you put the little marquis under house arrest?

looked up and wanted to speak, but saw Li Zongzhi glaring at him, Zong Ran hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth, and didn't dare to say anything more.

After many days of wind and dust, the man was extremely tired, Bai Ze came back and went straight to the little marquis's mansion, but Bai Yan immediately entered the palace, and wanted to explain to the emperor that Lin'an and Jin Ling were a qiē and then rushed back, and accompanied the flawless until his body healed, but he didn't expect that because he was too sleepy, while waiting in the Qianqiu Pavilion, he fell asleep on the table, and when he opened his eyes again, he found that it was already dark all around.

Rotten!

I actually fell asleep, did the emperor come up? Why didn't anyone wake me up?

Straightening up, he found that he was covered with a thick cloak, he stood up, walked to the door and stretched out his hand, and his heart sank.

The door is shut!

"Who's outside, open the door-" Stretched out his hand and patted the door, noticing that there were footsteps approaching, Bai Yan hurriedly raised his voice and said: "Why did you close the door? Who is outside, open the door, I want to see the emperor." ”

"Don't be impatient, the emperor has already come in the afternoon, and when he left, he said that he would let the little marquis wait here, and the emperor will come back in two days. The little palace maid outside the door responded softly, and Bai Yan's heart became more and more uneasy.

What is the emperor doing? Is it because he disobeyed the holy decree and not only made such a big disturbance in Lin'an City, but also went to Jinling without permission, and then made such a big incident in Jinling, so he was displeased, and he wanted to think about it himself?

Scratching his head irritably, Bai Yan paced back and forth a few steps, and said loudly: "Is it difficult to make me blind in the dark?"

"Please step back, the slave is coming to open the door and light the lamp. ”

As soon as he heard that, Bai Yan's heart was overjoyed, and he had a crooked idea, and then heard the little palace maid say: "The door is full of royal forest troops, and the little marquis promised that the slave and maid will not run out, and the slave and maid will be punished, and the slave and maid will open the door." ”

Bai Yan frowned when he heard this, and rolled his eyes helplessly.

This little palace maid was clever, knowing that she would definitely not give in, she first said that there was someone waiting outside the door, and then asked herself not to run away and hurt her, so if she really ran away, she would be really sorry for her.

"Okay, okay, I'm not running, you come in. ”

The door lock rang slightly, and a little palace maid with delicate eyebrows entered with the lamp, first looked at him vigilantly, and then turned around to light the lamp step by step.

"Don't be so wary of me, be careful if you fall. Bai Yan looked at the little palace maid with some tears and laughter, and said, "Since I said that if I don't run, I won't run." ”

"Everyone says that the little marquis is too stubborn, so don't be gullible. ”

"You little girl is quite interesting, what's your name?" Bai Yan walked to the table and sat down, knocked on the table, and said, "The emperor didn't say that you weren't allowed to give me food." ”

"Slave and maid pothos, the emperor didn't say that he wouldn't give it to the little marquis, but he didn't say it either-" The pothos suddenly smiled slyly, stood aside with a red candle in his hand, and really didn't move.

Bai Yan tilted his head, thought for a long time, and suddenly got together, and said: "Then I will go to the imperial dining room to steal some food and come back, you should not see it, what you don't see, the emperor will not punish you if he thinks about it." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows, turned around and left, and the green pothos was in a hurry behind him, and hurriedly inserted the candle into the candlestick, chased after him and said: "The dinner has been ordered to be done in the imperial dining room, and the little marquis will stop playing with slaves and maids." ”

"Then let me ask you, what did the emperor say when he came in the afternoon, and was he very angry, just like this, his eyes were so wide, and the fire above his head was so high?" Bai Yan said while gesturing, his appearance was ridiculous, making the green pothos "flutter-" out laughing.

"How dare the slave and maid look at the emperor like that, but they didn't hear the anger, and there was no fire on their heads, or the emperor said that he took a cloak and covered it for the little marquis. ”

Bai Yan smiled when he heard this, returned to the table and stood for a while, then turned back to look at the heavy snow outside the window, his face gradually tightened, and he muttered: "I don't know if there is such a heavy snow in Acacia Valley." ”

Flawless, it seems that Bai Yan can't rush back to your side immediately, you must cherish it for me!

"What are you thinking about?" Xian Yi put down the decoction in his hand, and saw that Flawless was staring at the candle flame stupidly, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to remove one of the covers, and said, "How can your eyes stand it, but you miss the little marquis again?"

"Bai Yan has been gone for so long......"

"Less than ten days. Xian Yi crossed his two index fingers to make a cross, and said: "This place is so far away from the Eastern Capital, and it takes so long to go back and forth, it has only been a few days, and Childe has already been like three autumns." ”

"I think it's been a long, long time. Flawless looked down at the hosta in his hand a little stupidly, brushed his fingertips over the emerald green glass, and said softly: "I always feel that he doesn't seem to come back to me." ”

"Bah, bad and bad spirits, don't say this kind of thing anymore, the little marquis finally found you, he promised you to come back here, you also promised him to wait here, don't say these unlucky words again, Tong Yan Wuji, Tong Yan Wuji!"

"Your words are child's words. Flawless naturally knew that Xian Yi was comforting himself, so he smiled, inserted the hosta into his bun, and then got up and said: "When will it snow, I don't know how injured Third Uncle Leng is, and Second Uncle Leng, are they doing well now." ”

"Ghost Wing said that Lord Zheng Zhe has lifted the pursuit of them, and Wen Ding Xuan has also reopened, so Childe doesn't have to worry anymore, they will definitely take care of themselves. ”

―――――――――――――

"Waiting for you to come back!"

―――――――――――――

That was the last sentence that Zheng Chexuan asked Ghost Wing to bring to him.

After six years of mutual support, why he and he have come to this point! I can't say who has done more for whom, but what I know is ...... I don't want to go back to that cage-like palace.

Don't want to!

"There should also be an echo from my brother's side, now that Brother Mo is in command of the Imperial Forest Army, it is really difficult for my brother to find something in the palace. Xian Yi sighed, and suddenly thought of the mission that Gong was carrying to the Eastern Capital, and couldn't help but feel uneasy. Flawless listened to what she said, nodded, and said: "After so many years, I am really so tired that I want to give up, but we already have the first three pictures, and the whereabouts of the fourth picture are so obvious, if you want to give up, you are really unwilling." ”

"It's exactly this statement, it's just that it's been so long, my brother said, Long Chuanbai told Wu Feiyun about the news at the beginning, and he was in the light, we were in the dark, if Wu Feiyun really got it, it would really be extremely unfavorable to us. ”

"It doesn't matter, even if he gets the fourth picture, it's useless. ”

"That's right, the first three pictures are in Childe's mind, whoever grabs the last picture, as long as Childe doesn't draw it completely, it's in vain, the medicine is cold, Childe drink it. ”

"Yes. Flawless picked up the medicine bowl in response, but the man outside the door quietly stepped back, disappearing into the night without the slightest trace.
