Chapter Eighty-Eight: Duan Jinrui's Decision

When Zhuang Lijue arrived at the courtyard where Duan Jinrui's study was located, there was a faint voice inside, and the relationship between him and Duan Jinrui was different from others, so at this time, the more he had to abide by the rules, and naturally stopped his still somewhat hurried footsteps.

The person guarding outside Duan Jinrui's study is still Hu Heng, the two of them are also old acquaintances, and even Hu Heng helps Zhuang Lijue in many places, so he talked a few words, and it is not an unusual thing to have a good atmosphere, from Hu Heng's mouth, Zhuang Lijue did not deliberately put on some important news, but casually mentioned that he met the crown princess, and his face was a little wrong, and he looked like he was going out.

Zhuang Lijue has never been an outsider, and Hu Heng didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, so he replied lightly, the prince is cold by nature, and he is indifferent to the princess after she gets married, plus he has been busy with business, so naturally he can't compare with ordinary newlyweds with each other, maybe the princess is a little wronged.

Zhuang Lijue lowered his eyelids, guessing something in his heart, in this case, whether to tell the news to Duan Jinrui later, no, no, no, it's really a little difficult.

Hu Heng half-squinted his eyes, the old god was standing there on the ground as a door god, and the person who talked about sex was not him, and between the two of them, there was nothing to say for a while.

After waiting for about a stick of incense, it should be time to talk about things inside, it is okay to be quiet, the door creaked open, Zhuang Lijue knew most of them, in addition to the officials of the household department, there was also a servant of the ministry.

The room is burning with a lingering fragrance, not very strong, but it makes people smell a kind of refreshing spleen and even a clear mind, Duan Jinrui's hand is holding a three-sheep white jade holding pot, the man's slender hand, exuding an icy white glow, compared to the white jade carved teapot, there are many more indescribable charms.

The small cup handed to the front of me is steaming hot, and it is particularly heart-warming in this still somewhat cold month.

Zhuang Lijue took it respectfully, thanked him, drank a cup of warm hot tea, and hesitated on the seat under the signal of Duan Jinrui's eyes, afraid that he would not speak again, and he would not know if it was time to speak later.

"Your Highness, this is his news at the border gate......"

Pulling out an official document-style thing from the wide sleeve, Zhuang Lijue stood up and gently placed it on Duan Jinrui's table.

The man who had been cooking tea elegantly and indifferently, dangling the teacup, was finally broken by the indifferent calm between his eyebrows, his hand paused, and the hot water that was boiling overflowed was just an instant, and it didn't pass the mouth of the teacup.

"Your Highness......"

Before Zhuang Lijue opened his mouth to remind, the man's wrist was slightly flipped and the poured white jade teapot was erected, and gently, with a clatter, the white jade teapot stood firmly on the top left of the table.

“……”

After pondering for a moment, Duan Jinrui's voice was faint and cold, as if it was none of his business: "Have you seen it?" ”

The man's fingers rubbed the seal on the official document and asked inadvertently.

The fire paint seal on the official document, except for the emperor and the special relevant responsible personnel, no one can destroy it privately, otherwise, it is a capital crime.

Zhuang Lijue's lips moved, and then replied categorically: "In order to prevent fraud, before sending it, my subordinates have already checked it first, please forgive Your Highness!" ”

This is tantamount to admitting that he has the great sin of privately visiting the official affairs of the imperial court, Duan Jinrui's hand removed from the fire paint mark, looked up at the snow-robed man who looked at him straight and without flinching, and hooked his lips: "Is there something wrong with him?" ”

"There is nothing to do, and not long ago, he made great achievements at the border pass and made a name for himself, and now he has Song Chengzhou's ......"

Duan Jinrui's hand was raised, interrupting Zhuang Lijue's next detailed report, and his left hand rubbed on the finger of his right hand: "This palace believes in you, as long as he is not in danger of his life in the future, there is no need to make a special report, after all, if you intercept the official documents of the Ministry of War, if you are really discovered, it will be difficult for this palace to protect you." ”

After finishing speaking, the official document that had been carried in Zhuang Lijue's sleeve for some time, and was a little wrinkled because of his entanglements along the way, was handed to him by the man.

Stunned, he reached out and took it, and put it in his sleeve in a daze.

From beginning to end, Duan Jinrui has not changed his complexion, his voice, language, expressions, and movements all reveal his own bitter indifference, the man who suffers from gains and losses for Liu Moyan, the man who will seek his help and enlightenment in confusion, now, it seems that he is really unloved, and he is really trained into a body of steel and iron.

Zhuang Lijue should be happy, he should be happy, but he felt inexplicably melancholy, but he felt that there was a biting cold overflowing from the bottom of his heart.

After Duan Jinrui finished saying the explanation, he lowered his head and quietly gave instructions on the official documents, reviewing the account books that the household department had only sent to be inspected a few days ago, he was really busy, he was too busy to have time to care about his new wife's careful thoughts, and he was too busy to have time to slowly discuss the absurdity and ups and downs with Zhuang Lijue, so busy that only an empty body named Prince was left.

Zhuang Lijue's handsome face seemed to be covered with a layer of white powder, looking miserable and white, which made people feel terrified, as if he didn't know the person in front of him, he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and he couldn't look away for a long time.

The lake pen in the man's hand smoothly crossed a line of zuihou, closed the official document, and finally had time to raise his head and face Zhuang Lijue's strange eyes: "Why haven't you left yet?" This palace remembers that you have to personally lead a team to inspect the Qianyuan Hall at this hour every day! ”

Zhuang Lijue couldn't stand such a wrong Duan Jinrui anymore, and he couldn't stand all kinds of speculations in his heart anymore, he stood up suddenly, he didn't care about those humilities, completely forgot about the so-called rules of the upper and lower monarchs and ministers, and slammed his hands and firmly pressed on the black Xuanmu bookcase: "Your Highness, have you really let go?" ”

Duan Jinrui frowned, looking very distressed, he put down the lake pen that was stained with ink again, and looked up at Zhuang Lijue, who was looking at him from top to bottom, but was much more nervous than him: "Lijue, it should be this palace asking you, what kind of answer do you want?" ”

He looked at him as if he were looking at an ignorant child.

Zhuang Lijue wanted to turn his eyes away in embarrassment, his hand on the cold table convulsed, and the little bit of coldness and the slight stinging pain made him remember his original intention: "If Your Highness really can't let go of Liu Moyan, your subordinates will help you!" ”

This sentence, if Zhuang Lijue, who was eager to keep Duan Jinrui away from Liu Moyan completely, heard it in the past, it must have been regarded as a joke, but now, it came from his mouth.

Duan Jinrui opened his mouth, he didn't know why, since the words came out, Zhuang Lijue's words were much easier, anyway, he couldn't keep silent for long, sooner or later, there would always be such a day.

"Your Highness, now you, is not at all the Your Highness I have known since childhood, I don't care about anything, I don't care about anything, except for an empty shell, I just know official business, official business, my Royal Highness, not like this, although he is cold-hearted and cold-hearted, but he will occasionally care about those who care about him, although he is serious about official business, but he will also meet to drink in his free time, he is His Royal Highness the Prince, and he is a flesh-and-blood person!"

A series of words, without breathing, said in one breath, Zhuang Lijue's breath was a little short.

"Is that enough?"

Duan Jinrui's back was even straighter, he didn't seem to know that the chair he made had a very comfortable leaning back, he seemed to only sit in such a posture, tough, stubborn, but a little desolate.

"Enough is enough......"

With a wry smile, Zhuang Lijue stroked his forehead, and a wave of sadness swept over.

With a snap, the man didn't look at it, so he took out a blue-covered document from the pile of official documents dealing with haode on the left side of the table and threw it in front of Zhuang Lijue.

Even now in a trance, Zhuang Lijue's conditioned reflex is not slow, he catches it all of a sudden, subconsciously looks down, his face is full of shock, it is clearly a border military situation, Liu Moyan's three words are conspicuous on the ground, making him stunned and at a loss.

He just acted in a one-man show? It turned out that Duan Jinrui still put Liu Moyan in the most important position at all, and he didn't need anyone to remind him.

Zhuang Lijue's body froze there, his face was miserable, and his eyes were a little empty.

Duan Jinrui stood up, his ice-white right hand patted Zhuang Lijue lightly on the shoulder, there was no ridicule between his eyebrows, and there was no apology, but a solemn matter: "Lijue, this palace has already married a wife!" ”

These nine words were told in a flat and straightforward tone, but they were like thunder, shaking Zhuang Lijue awake, and he subconsciously retorted: "But you don't love her!" ”

"But if I marry her, then she is my responsibility!"

Duan Jinrui was faint but irrefutable.

"What about Liu Moyan?"

Zhuang Lijue stared at Duan Jinrui's eyes, trying to find out the true meaning of the man in them.

Duan Jinrui put down the hand that was patting Zhuang Lijue's shoulder, and pointed to the blue paper that he had just thrown out in the snow-robed man's hand: "He's doing well now......

It's good without me. And he, from the moment he decided to marry a wife, has lost the qualification to love someone, since he has decided to let go, for the sake of Liu Moyan, he must let go completely.

Liu Moyan is an eagle, he should soar thousands of miles, this trickery in the capital should not be involved anymore, and Duan Jinrui is precisely the center of the storm, as long as he is close to him, he will always be remembered.

Zhuang Lijue couldn't see the slightest surprise, Duan Jinrui had already seen Liu Moyan's situation in the border pass, but it was stacked with many official documents, there was no difference, he didn't care, he was hit by a wave of joy: "Your Highness, this is ......"

His eyes unconsciously swept to the stack of official documents as high as a hill on Duan Jinrui's desk that had not yet been approved, the other party had never worked so official business.

"This palace wants to be the master of this world, Lijue, you will help me, right?"

The lips were hooked, although it was a smile, but there was no trace of warmth, but it made people feel more and more cold and piercing.
