38. Turn your face

Xiuwen hurriedly glanced at Su Tong, and said nothing with a pale face. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Su Tong left in a hurry after eating. I don't know what I'm busy with. Cheng Linghui did not have the consciousness of being in the palace. In her opinion, her entering the palace is like visiting her sister's house to visit relatives. It's hard to inquire about other people's affairs. After talking to Xiuwen for a while, the two of them took Cheng Su to squeeze into a bed and fell asleep.

After a few more days, Xiuwen's complexion improved significantly. Cheng Su also became mellow. Cheng Linghui planned to go back. Since Xiuwen left, she and her mother have never been separated for so long. It is false to say that you don't care. Moreover, the crops at home have not been taken care of for a long time. The fifth master has disabled hands, and it all depends on how to do it for him.

She talked to Xiuwen. Xiuwen sighed: "The meeting is very short. "I was very reluctant, so I had to give her a drink to see her off.

Cheng Linghui rarely drinks alcohol. And the wine in this palace seems to be particularly intoxicating. She drank and drank and didn't remember anything. Waking up with a splitting headache. Seeing that she was sleeping in Xiuwen's room, Xiuwen must have taken Cheng Su to sleep elsewhere. I was about to get up and pour water to drink. A large slender hand held a cup and handed it over.

Cheng Linghui took it and drank it. Only then did I find that it was Su Tong who handed over the water. At this time, Su Tong was only wearing a white middle coat, and his black hair was scattered behind his head. Cheng Linghui said, "Why are you here?" ”

Su Tong lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time.

Cheng Linghui sat up, only to find that she was only wearing a middle coat. thought it was Xiuwen who asked her to help her undress, but she didn't care at the moment. Xiang Su Tong said: "Xiuwen may take Su Su in my room." ”

Su Tongdao: "I know. ”

"Oh." Cheng Linghui was a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry." I didn't know you were coming back today. Otherwise, I wouldn't have slept here. ”

Su Tong kept his head down and said, "What would happen to you if I did something to you just now?" ”

Cheng Linghui smiled: "What can you do to me?" I'm not Xiuwen. ”

"Cheng Mozhi." Su Tong suddenly raised his head and looked at Cheng Linghui with burning eyes: "I like you." ”

"Huh?" Cheng Linghui couldn't react.

"Don't play dumb with me. I know you understand what I'm talking about. Su Tong looked at her: "I just want to know, what would you do if I did something to you just now?" ”

Cheng Linghui paused for a moment, got up and ran out. She told Su Tong the answer with her actions.

Su Tong turned over and chased after him. Cheng Linghui turned around and punched at the corner of Su Tong's mouth. The corners of Su Tong's mouth suddenly broke.

Su Tong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said, "Good skills." If I beat you, how about you follow me? ”

Cheng Linghui didn't answer, and ran out without stopping. Su Tong chased after him. The two of them were also wearing only middle clothes, and they fought barefoot in the courtyard.

At this time, the night is not very deep, it is about the second watch. The candles in the palace don't seem to cost money, and what is not lacking is people who light lamps all night and stay up and don't sleep. immediately alarmed the guards of the East Palace and the crown princess.

It was also a coincidence that Marquis Su, who had already recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors to become emperors, was tired of watching the performance and was strolling around. From a distance, I saw that the direction of the East Palace was brightly lit, and there was a faint commotion. Let people find out right away. After a while, the palace people reported that the prince had a fight with someone in the East Palace.

When Su Hou Ye heard this, he was a little incredible. It's normal for the prince to find someone to practice his hands when he has nothing to do, how can he make such a big move? You must know that this is the palace inside, and the prince has always been self-respecting, and he will never do anything noisy in the inner court.

Su Hou Ye followed the voice and came over. But I saw that the lights inside and outside a side pavilion in the East Palace were bright, and the guards and palace people were huddled together. The princess, who has always been dignified and steady, lost her demeanor at this time, and looked at the two people fighting in the courtyard with an anxious face.

The chamberlain said: "The emperor has arrived." Hula lala, kneeling down in a big piece.

After all, it was not her own home, and Cheng Linghui inevitably lost her mind when she heard the voice of the mountain shouting long live. was crutched in front of his chest by Su Tong's arm, and suddenly there was a dull pain in his chest and abdomen. I slipped on my feet and fell on my back.

Seeing this, Su Tong put aside Cheng Linghui and stepped forward to salute Su Houye, and said, "It is unfilial piety to disturb the father. Erchen and Mo Zhi were having a jostle. ”

Su Hou Ye scolded: "What do you look like if you are not well-dressed?" "This Marquis Su definitely adheres to the spirit of a strict father in front of Su Tong, and he has to scold him a few times if he has anything to do.

Su Tong has been used to being scolded, no matter whether it is right or wrong in front of his father, he will confess first.

Su Hou Ye looked at Cheng Linghui who was kneeling on the ground with flashing eyes: "Are you guilty?" ”

Cheng Linghui hurriedly lowered her body, but did not answer. She didn't feel like she was doing anything wrong.

"Father." Cheng Su was a little anxious.

Su Houye's face was even more ugly: "Come on, pull out this unsightly minion." "As a father, Marquis Su is also lenient to other children, but he can't tolerate his eldest son to make a little mistake, especially with a palace man who is disheveled in the middle of the night.

"Father." Su Tong suddenly knelt down in front of his father: "It's not about the matter, it's the son's fault." ”

What do parents dislike the most? The son turned his elbow outward, toward the others. With a wave of Su Houye's sleeves, someone from the palace immediately went up to drag Cheng Linghui. At this time, if Cheng Linghui doesn't say a word and kills him, then it is not Cheng Linghui. She pushed the palace people away at once and stood up from the ground. looked at Marquis Su and said: "Such a careless disregard for people's lives, the grass people are not convinced." ”

Immediately the Praetorian Guards were about to rush forward. Su Hou Ye raised his hand to stop it. looked at Cheng Linghui and said, "Tell me, why did I take people's lives?" Shouldn't you be beheading the noisy court in the middle of the night? ”

Cheng Linghui said: "If learning martial arts is also considered noisy in the court, the grass people have nothing to say. "Life is at stake, Cheng Linghui has to open her eyes and tell nonsense.

"Cheng Mozhi." Su Hou Ye suddenly snorted. This old man's eyes are also poisonous enough, just because Cheng Linghui has seen a few times when she was a child, she actually recognized her after a while of being blind in the black light. It's just that Cheng Linghui doesn't know.

If he had seen a child a few times, Su Hou Ye might have turned his face and forgotten about it. But Cheng Linghui appeared when he was most difficult, and used her innocence and straightforwardness to inject a ray of light into Su Houye's dark state of mind. And Cheng Linghui's boldness also left a deep impression on Su Houye. The most important thing is that Cheng Linghui's role in Su Hou Ye and Su Tong's father and son is incalculable. Her stubbornness and stubbornness have become an opportunity for communication between this once estranged father and son. Let this father and son, who were born in the royal family and can't help themselves, have a thick flesh and blood kinship.

There is a saying among the people. Fight tiger brothers, go into battle father and son soldiers. For an emperor, this kinship is far more precious than thousands of troops.

"The grass people are here." Cheng Linghui was inexplicable.

Su Hou Ye suddenly laughed 'haha'. laughed and shouted: "Left and right, take down this arrogant boy for me." ”

"Father." Su Tong is in a hurry.

Su Hou Ye shouted with a cold face: "You shut up for me, see if you still look like a prince?" "The palace people have become accustomed to the usual mode of father and son between Marquis Su and the crown prince. Su Hou Ye is not called a lonely widow when he is angry, and the prince sometimes calls Su Hou Ye his father directly.

Cheng Linghui was dressed in a middle coat and escorted barefoot to the emperor's imperial study. Someone threw her a Praetorian Guard's clothes, and Cheng Linghui dressed neatly before she went to see Marquis Su.

Master Su is much older than more than ten years ago, but his spirit is better than then. looked at Cheng Linghui, who was standing in the local area, dressed in military uniform, and had a tall posture. He shouted, "Are you guilty? ”

Cheng Linghui shook her head.

Su Hou Ye lifted the pen, wrote a few lines of big characters, and threw his hand on the ground. said coldly: "You are limited to writing these three articles within five days." It's not well written......" Hou Ye Su snorted coldly. Cheng Linghui immediately felt that her neck was cold. She planned to turn her face with Su Tong, but she didn't want to lose her head. Hurriedly picked up the paper and looked at it. I saw that the book "There is a conquest and no war, and the Dao Cun system is the ......" suddenly broke into a cold sweat, and almost threw the paper out. He bowed to the ground and said, "The emperor spares his life." Don't say the article three times, even the grass people can't do it at the beginning. ”

This is really not Cheng Linghui's humility. Although she is a little wise, she has also read books seriously for a few years. But Marquis Su's question is a policy theory, and the test is about military affairs, current affairs and people's livelihood. Even if she has some insight over the years, she doesn't dare to believe nonsense. One said it badly, and Long Yan was furious. It doesn't matter if you die, but what about your mother?

She was so anxious here, but Su Hou Ye didn't have the slightest room to turn around: "You have no jokes." In five days, if I can't see the article, or if I'm missing. You don't have to put your head on your neck. After speaking, he glanced at the chamberlain standing beside him.

Su Hou Ye scolded Su Tongfei on the surface, but everyone knew in their hearts that he loved this son like his life. What is the best thing that a son of heaven can leave to his son? In addition to the country, it is talent. In the heart of Marquis Su, Cheng Linghui knows the roots, and he can become the prince's confidant. It's just that Cheng Linghui is too reckless, but it's not a good thing. Su Hou Ye deliberately wanted to learn from her. also took the test for her talent by the way. After all, judging from the manuscripts that the prince brought back, Cheng Linghui's talent is still much more immature.

can't blame Hou Ye Su for not doubting Cheng Linghui's gender at all. There is a preconceived notion that there is. When Su Hou Ye met Cheng Linghui, she was only nine years old. It is the age when male and female are indistinguishable. Cheng Linghui's personality is really not like any girl Su Houye has ever seen.

Su Tong's treasured manuscript of Cheng Mozhi, without looking at the content and just looking at the brushstrokes, the sharpness is not like a girl's writing. At that time, Su Houye said to Su Tong that this manuscript did not look like a girl. Later, he said that it was Xiuwen who impersonated Cheng Linghui's identity.

Now, although Cheng Linghui has long grown up, her living habits since childhood have made her more masculine as a man. Su Hou Ye loves Wu and Wu, because he is used to scolding his son, and he refuses to look at her directly, so naturally he didn't find anything abnormal. When Cheng Linghui put on the guard's clothes, it would be even more indistinguishable.

The chamberlain walked up to Cheng Linghui, bowed down and said, "Please." "I have to say that these chamberlains are all human spirits. He could see one, two, three, but the emperor didn't say anything, and he didn't dare to chew his tongue. I didn't know what to call Cheng Linghui, so I simply omitted it.

Cheng Linghui was in a daze and followed the chamberlain to a short time next to the imperial book. The chamberlain personally brought a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and left a small eunuch here to take care of him, and then left.

Cheng Linghui sat in a daze for half the night, and suddenly realized that the sky was already bright. The five-day period has begun. I had to force myself to clean up my mind and pick up the pen. It's really racking my brains and exhausting all my resources. I just feel that the five days have never flown so fast as they do now. It was already late at night on the fifth day. It's only a quarter of an hour before midnight.

She put down the pen only to notice that her limbs were stiff, and she was dizzy when she stood up. I didn't fall to the ground. Seeing this, the little inner supervisor hurriedly went to invite the old inner prisoner from before. The old inner supervisor saw that Cheng Linghui's eyes were blank, and his face was pale and blue. I know that it is because of the loss of mental energy. Hurriedly instructed the little inner supervisor to help Cheng Linghui go to the couch to rest.

Cheng Linghui only felt that he was even more tired at this moment than when he almost folded in the old forest in the Northeast. As soon as his body collapsed, he immediately fell into a dark and sweet dream. The tiger he had hunted in his dream suddenly came back to life, chasing and biting him. I finally woke up from a nightmare, sweating all over my body, and even my coat was soaked.

The little inner supervisor brought water. Cheng Linghui's mouth was dry, and she lost her appetite after drinking a stomach of soup.

The door opened, and a man walked in. The little inner eunuch hurriedly saluted: "I've seen Lord Lin." ”

Cheng Linghui raised her eyes and saw the mountain chief standing in front of her. Suddenly, like a lost child, he finally saw his family, and 'plopped' knelt in front of the mountain chief. Before he could speak, tears flowed out.

The mountain chief sighed softly and helped her up. The master and apprentice stood opposite each other, and neither of them knew how to speak.

"Mountain chief ......" Cheng Linghui finally calmed down the excitement in her heart.

The mountain chief waved his hand: "Don't say it." Teachers know it. Don't worry, I'll take care of your mother. ”

Cheng Linghui suddenly felt that the sky had fallen, and the sun and moon had no light. After a while, he asked, "Do I have to die?" ”

The mountain chief was surprised: "Where do you start with this?" ”

Cheng Linghui's spirit was shocked: "So, I don't have to die?" ”

The mountain chief said: "Who said that you want to die?" ”

Cheng Linghui learned what Su Hou Ye said to himself from the mountain chief. The mountain chief smiled: "My student, I still know it in my heart." The emperor showed me those three of your strategies. If you are a man, even if you don't win the top prize, you must be famous among the top three. ”

Cheng Linghui said happily: "Then can I go?" My mother and I have been away from home for almost two months, and I don't know what happened to our family. The fifth master and grandmother are fine. ”

The mountain chief looked at her and said meaningfully: "Mo Zhi, if your three strategies don't come out, maybe you can go home." But now, do you think you can still go? ”

Cheng Linghui said: "I can't be an official, why am I doing here if I don't go home?" ”

The mountain chief said: "For you, the prince kneels outside the imperial study every day. Today is the ninth day. ”
