Chu Tan would never let Guan Chongshui wait that long.

But that's just before.

Guan Chongshui felt that something was changing silently, but he didn't know what it was. As the system and the host, they should be what they are now, not too close, not too distant, helping each other, but not dependent.

On the morning of the second day, Guan Chongshui went to the palace again.

Chu Tan asked him what was the matter.

"Zhao Song's business."

Chu Tan didn't speak.

"His wife came to me, so I ......"

"So you think this qiē is all because of you, and it's all your responsibility?"

Guan Chongshui hesitated and nodded.

"That's his own fault!"

"But the cheating in the imperial examination is fake."

"It's done alone."

Guan Chongshui looked at Chu Tan in disbelief.

"It's a lonely hand and foot, otherwise it won't be enough to exile him."

“…… I know. ”

Guan Chongshui asked Xue Luo to send a message to Mrs. Zhao, saying that there was nothing he could do.

In the afternoon, Guan Chongshui felt a little uncomfortable, so he simply did not go to court.

The news came that Zheng Tao was promoted.

Guan Chongshui felt a little frustrated, but even he didn't know where this feeling came from.

After Xiao Yi got off the court, he came to chat with Guan Chongshui and brought some snacks.

"Even the food of the lakeside can't cure you?"

Guan Chongshui shook his head and didn't want to say anything.

"What's going on with you and Majesty? The seven-year itch? ”

"Isn't it ......" Guan Chongshui asked hesitantly, "Isn't it, I shouldn't point fingers at an emperor?" ”

"You, there are a lot of finger-pointers, and you dare to say something 'you' and 'I' in front of Chu Yan, you don't need to be honorific, so this can't be your problem at all. What about the rest? ”

“…… Is it because of Zhao Song? ”

Xiao Yi chuckled, "Probably." Zhao Song discussed you privately first, and Chu Tan was angry, but you stood in the position of the prime minister to refute Chu Tan. ”

"But I want him to be a bright king, not a faint king and a tyrant."

"So you may not be the prime minister before long."

"Why!"

Xiao Yi smiled and pointed to the mung bean cake he brought, "Let's eat some, it's delicious." ”

Guan Chongshui pinched the mung bean cake, and suddenly asked again, "Do I really use honorific titles less in front of His Majesty?" ”

"That's not true, but you don't have to." Xiao Yi poured himself a cup of tea, "Let's have a weakness." ”

In the lake, the fish swim happily, the green water and the red fish contrast with each other. Xiao Yi threw some dim sum dregs into the lake, and was quickly swallowed by the fish.

A fish jumps out of the lake and falls into the water.

Then there is a long period of silence.

"Xiao Yi", Guan Chongshui suddenly broke the silence, "I'm actually not human. ”

The corners of Xiao Yi's mouth hooked, but he didn't speak.

"You should have found some clues, too. In those two years, you and Chu Yan's appearances have at least changed a little, but I haven't changed at all. Also, my hair never grows ......"

"So what?"

Guan Chongshui looked stunned.

Xiao Yi repeated, "So what? The first time I saw you was in that cave, and then we went into the capital together. You are silent, but smart. These are you.

Guan Chongshui, you are you. ”

“…… Well. ”

"Feeling better?" Xiao Yi asked, and then joked, "I'm a prime minister who amuses you, this is really ......."

"Then let Chu Tan give you a promotion."

"How do you go up?" Xiao Yi smiled and asked, "On your head?" ”

That's right, this person is already the right prime minister.

"That's it." Xiao Yi waved his hand with his back to Guan Chongshui in a dashing manner.

Xiao Yi did not go home, but went to the palace again.

In the palace, Chu Tan was also in a daze, his expression was almost the same as Guan Chongshui, and Xiao Yi almost laughed when he saw it. After Chu Tan saw Xiao Yi, his expression changed, he was still the cold-faced emperor, "What are you doing here?" ”

"Your Majesty, you and Chongshui...... What exactly do you want to do? ”

"The emperor and the prime minister can never be equal."

Xiao Yi was shocked.

Yes.

The emperor and the prime minister can never be equal, and the prime minister must obey the emperor.

So, who can be equal to the emperor?

Empress.

"It's ......"

Regardless of the reaction of the people and ministers, presumably Guan Chongshui himself will not agree.

"I've been thinking about it these days, and I don't have a clue. Stand down. ”

Guan Chongshui went for a walk on the street full of sorrow.

The little boy was not in the alley this time, but on the street, and when he saw Guan Chongshui, he immediately ran over.

The guards were on guard, and the little boy looked at them and stopped.

Guan Chongshui stopped the guards.

"My lord, I gave the money to someone else......

Zhou Qian felt that he must be stupid, otherwise how could he really give the money to others, and still run to this dignitary to say these words in front of this dignitary at this moment.

"I've really given it to someone else."

Zhou Qian didn't know why, he was suddenly very aggrieved, and he wiped his tears.

"You ......"

Guan Chongshui didn't expect his unintentional actions at that time, but he was taken to heart by this boy.

"It's me who is not good." Guan Chongshui was extremely discouraged, he hadn't done a thing right recently.

"I ...... But I was short of money, and I did think about swallowing it because my sister was sick. Can you save her? ”

"Yes."

Zhou Qian brought Guan Chongshui to the alley, which was cleaner than before, but it was still dilapidated.

Zhou Qian walked into his home.

It was a very small house, with a small window open, and a bed filled almost all the space, leaving a table full of clutter, and the whole room was dim and dirty.

The walls were thin, and Guan Chongshui seemed to be able to hear the quarrel next door.

Zhou Qian pointed to his sister on the bed.

There was a girl lying unconscious.

"How do you want me to help you?"

Zhou Qian didn't speak, and only spoke after a while, "Can you ...... Give me some more money? ”

"What if I run out of money?"

Zhou Qian hesitated, "I went to the government to apply for a cleaner, and they said I was not old enough...... I now have a job selling ravioli, but the money is too small to see a doctor. ”

"What's wrong with your sister?"

"I don't know...... I can't afford to hire a doctor, so I don't know what the illness is. The aunt next door said...... Let me buy a straw mat and go to ......."

Buy a straw mat and wait for the body to be collected.

"I'm not going to give you money." Guan Chongshui said.

Zhou Qian looked at Guan Chongshui stupidly.

"But you can study medicine on your own, and I will send you to the national prison. How old are you? ”

"I'm 13 ......"

"As for your sister...... I'll find someone to treat her. Guan Chongshui lowered his head and looked at the ground, "I'm sorry, I didn't know I embarrassed you before." ”

After Zhou Qian heard this, he suddenly cried again.

Guan Chongshui tentatively touched his head and stroked it lightly.

After Guan Chongshui settled Zhou Qian, he returned home and found that his energy had risen to fifty percent.

This is......

Because of doing good deeds?

Guan Chongshui closed his eyes tiredly. Now, after he got the energy, he no longer had the ecstasy he had at the beginning. On the contrary, he felt only a slight fatigue.

Chu Qiu was studying alone, and the palace maid came to urge him to sleep a few times, but seeing that he was working very hard, she didn't bother anymore.

Chu Qiu was a little sleepy, but he quickly cheered up.

You have to study earlier, be sensible earlier, and become an adult earlier.

The lights were dim, and the tents were blown up by the wind, as if a figure was flashing.

Chu Qiu held the book in his hand, not knowing what was happening behind him.

The maid who guarded him fell to the ground silently.

"Are you Chu Qiu? It's just a child. ”

Chu Qiu heard someone speak.

He immediately turned around and found the palace maid lying on the ground, and a man with an evil face.

The man's tone was cold, "I like Xiao Yi very much?" ”

"Who are you?"

"Answer me."

Chu Qiu knew that the current situation was very dangerous for him, he was alone, and the other party would practice martial arts at a glance, so he could only answer the other party's question obediently, "Uncle Xiao is good to me, I really like him." ”

"Uncle Xiao......" Xiao Xiaotian smiled, "Xiao Yi also called me that." ”

Chu Qiu's palms were sweaty, he seemed to know who this person was, but he didn't know a lot.

"At a young age...... It's ......."

Chu Tan's voice suddenly came, "Chu Qiu, Lone has come in." ”

Xiao Yantian didn't move, and watched Chu Tan push the door in fearlessly.

"You ......" Chu Tan squinted, "trespassing on the palace is a capital offense." ”

"Can you kill me? That's right, your martial arts are really good, and I always have a question for you - when I first tried it, I took all the water and food with me. How did you survive without water and food? ”

Chu Tan knew that his martial arts were not as good as Xiao Xuantian now.

Despite his time in the palace, he would get up early every morning to practice martial arts for an hour. But as an emperor, he has to manage every day, and he can't seriously practice martial arts at all.

I don't know what kind of reaction Xiao Yi will have when he sees Xiao Xuantian, and will he regret not killing him directly?

"You don't have to know."

If Chu Tan wants to win now, he can only rely on Guan Chongshui, but ......

He didn't call off the heavy water.

Guan Chongshui was losing sleep, and he looked at the stars outside the window in a daze.

Guan Chongshui rolled over, closed his eyes and used his energy to check the state of the palace, and then sat up suddenly.

Use skills.

Chu Tan sighed in his heart and looked directly at Xiao Xuantian.

Chu Qiu wanted to call the guards in while the two were not paying attention, but when he took a step forward, a strand of his hair was cut off by the internal force that slid through the air, so he didn't dare to move anymore.

Xiao Xiaotian lost.

He left in a hurry, Chu Tan didn't chase after him, just looked at Chu Qiu.

"Father's ......"

"You can rest."

When Guan Chongshui slept until midnight, he suddenly opened his eyes.

It's been a busy evening.

A man dressed in a night suit quietly pushes and closes the door of a heavy water room.

Guan Chongshui closed his eyes again.

The man only thought that Guan Chongshui was asleep, and tiptoed into the room, rummaging around for something. After looking for a while, he didn't find what he wanted, so he slowly walked to Guan Chongshui.

The light of the dagger shone through Guan Chongsui's eyes.

Guan Chongshui suddenly opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, hooked into a somewhat mischievous smile, and soon disappeared - as light as a goose feather into the water, short as a flash in the pan, making people feel that it was a beautiful illusion.

As soon as the man saw Guan Chongshui wake up, he immediately put the dagger across Guan Chongshui's neck, "Don't scream." ”

Guan Chongshui lowered his eyes slightly.

The dagger reflected Guan Chongshui's face, which was dim.

The hand of the dagger gradually strengthened, but he was horrified to find that-

Guan Chongshui is gone.

Disappear into thin air, silently.

At the same time, a voice sounded in Chu Tan's mind.
