Chapter 65: Tempting the City

There was a depressing atmosphere in the Luan Palace, and the ministers hid their anxieties with their chins hidden, their shoulders jumped like a firm stone, and they didn't dare to move for a minute, and the hands holding the admonitions bounced imperceptibly from time to time to adapt to the discomfort of sweating.

Long Yan has always been trembling in front of him, and if he doesn't know anything, he will end up dismal, no one wants to be that one, when the name that the superior named is not himself, they breathe a sigh of relief and feel uneasy at the same time, they are afraid that the next moment will be their own.

Zhao Hengguang's gaze lifted from the paperwork, his pupils shrank, and he found a target, "Wang Wen." ”

"In," Wang Wentou lowered his head a few points, and hurriedly stood out of the team, he was in charge of the household department, and in recent days, he has cooperated with the management to strictly inspect every household, and has not found anything inappropriate, he has reported the results several times, which has always made Zhao Hengguang dissatisfied.

What Zhao Hengguang is holding in his hand now is his today's paperwork, and asking him to be listed is nothing more than an accusation.

In fact, Zhao Hengguang did that, and this time he was even more angry, and directly smashed the document on Wang Wen's face.

"It's been three days, and you're going to give me such a result?" Not only Wang Wen, but also those who participated in the co-organizers.

Wang Wendao: "Your Majesty, every household has even passed, and there is indeed no problem. ”

Zhao Hengguang sneered: "Question? If they don't, won't you find out? ”

Wang Wen bowed his head again, not daring to refute anything.

What the emperor wants is the result, and the courtiers can't give it, it's a thousand mistakes.

Zhao Hengguang pressed his eyebrows, shook his head and said, "Retreat." ”

Immediately they prostrated their heads.

After retreating to the palace, Zhao Hengguang called the others away, leaving Zhao Heliang alone. Among the other princes, except for Zhao Hexuan, he didn't control his dissatisfied, and left as he said.

Walking on the long stairs outside the main hall, Zhao Hexuan said a sentence as if talking to himself, his voice was not loud, but the people around him heard it, and immediately a minister came to his side to remind him.

Zhao Hexuan glared, "What did I just say, you don't have anything to do!" ”

After the minister was deflated, he suddenly slowed down and got out of Zhao Hexuan's sight, and then someone arrived at Zhao Hexuan and was about to say something.

Zhao Hexuan saw the person coming out of the corner of his eye, and immediately swallowed the cruel words he wanted to speak, and his expression softened a lot.

"Your Highness."

The man smiled and nodded, his eyebrows were crooked and kind, the fine lines at the corners of his eyes were as light as silver whiskers, and the face with traces of age could still be found in the handsomeness of youth. Meticulously dressed, with a steady breath all around, slow and orderly movements, without a little drag, the sleeve robe is neatly folded on the wrist, and it is not even driven by the wind when raising the hand. This hand was on Zhao Hexuan's shoulder, but it did not attract any signs of anger.

Or, in other words, Zhao Hexuan couldn't be angry with this person who was somewhat similar to Xu Ruowan's appearance.

"Xu ...... Father-in-law. ”

Xu Jinping's smile deepened a little, and then said, "Your Highness doesn't have to mind."

"Father-in-law smiled."

"Where," Xu Jinping's voice lowered a little, "Your Highness is a capable person, but you can't get Your Majesty's appreciation." ”

Zhao Hexuan's eyebrows twitched, he was very happy with this, he saw that the people around him were far away, so he made an invitation gesture, "Father-in-law, let's go to the pavilion in front and sit down." ”

Xu Jinping nodded and happily went.

Approaching winter, the fish in the pond and river are hiding in the depths, the river is secretly silent, the nearby trees can not cover the traces of ash no matter how well they are cared for, and the stone bench in the pavilion also comes into the bottom of my heart with a thin coolness. Zhao Hexuan moved his body because of discomfort, and saw that Xu Jinping's face was indifferent, so he covered up his awkwardness with a smile.

"How's your father-in-law doing?"

Xu Jinping sighed and said: "What else, since Lord Lan entered the palace, I have been idle every day, and I drink tea and live to give me the birds that Wan'er gave me." ”

"That Lan Yubai does have two hits, but it's not a safe one."

"Your Majesty takes a fancy to him very much, and has frequently summoned ...... in recent days" Xu Jinping suddenly stopped, with some hesitation on his face.

"Frequent summons?" Zhao Hexuan was puzzled: "What's wrong with my father's body?" ”

Xu Jinping looked around and said in a low voice: "Although he has not been diagnosed for His Majesty, his complexion is very bad, and he listened to the palace people who served him, and the room that His Majesty came in was also abnormal. He said as he waved his hand.

Zhao Hexuan laughed strangely after hearing this, "My father's physical strength is not as good as it was back then. ”

"It stands to reason that Your Majesty's body should be treated with medicine and rest, Lord Lan didn't persuade him, and let His Majesty worry about it."

Zhao Hexuan frowned, "Did my father-in-law tell my father?" ”

"Having said that, Your Majesty doesn't think so...... Maybe ......"

"Huh?"

"Your Majesty knows everything, but on the one hand, you are wary of me, and on the other hand, you ......" Xu Jinping looked at Zhao Hexuan and said carefully: "Your Majesty's attitude towards the four princes has ...... recently"

Zhao Hexuan's eyes flashed with a fierce light, "What do you mean...... Is he going to give that position to the Fourth Emperor Brother? Thinking about it this way, Zhao Hengguang's various behaviors are a bit hasty to explain the aftermath, the reason why he is wary of Xu Jinping is because Xu Shiping's daughter Xu Ruowan is about to marry him Zhao Hexuan!

"Humph!" Zhao Hexuan shook his sleeves angrily, his mind was full of unwillingness and resentment, "Then why Zhao Heliang!" ”

Xu Jinping hurriedly grabbed him, "The eldest prince is angry, this is just speculation, if it is not true, it will cause your contradictions, I will not be able to escape the blame!" ”

"Father-in-law, don't worry, I don't blame you for this, my father and emperor obviously attach such importance to the fourth emperor brother, it's not normal in itself, I'll ask!" Zhao Hexuan hurriedly greeted Xu Jinping and left. His back was straight, his hands on either side of his thighs were clenched into fists, swinging back and forth against the hem of his clothes to look a little messy, and his steps were running in agitation, completely unaware that the person behind him was sneering.

Xu Jinping stood up, patted the hem of his clothes elegantly and went back to his mansion.

Xu Ruowan is not as busy preparing for marriage as rumored by the outside world, her life at home is still the same as before, only for her own comfort, and the rest is careless. Seeing Xu Jinping, she looked up lazily, "Daddy." ”

"Yes."

"How's it going?"

Xu Jinping took a sip of tea with a smile, "Daughter, you really know Zhao Hexuan, and you can move in a few words." ”

"That straw bale," Xu Ruowan showed a disdainful expression, "It's better to die early, I don't want to marry him." ”

"Yes, yes," Xu Jinping poured a cup of tea, "I wronged you before." ”

Xu Ruowan glanced at him, "Don't mention that, disgusting." ”

Xu Jinping smiled and didn't say anything more.

If outsiders see the actual state of these two fathers and daughters, they must be shocked to lose their big teeth, how can there be a real father who is angry with his daughter, but they are such a mode of getting along. Xu Jinping likes Xu Ruowan, the only daughter, very much, even to the point of being sick, and she is very happy to be scolded. He was an illegitimate child, he had a bad experience when he was a child, and his optimistic appearance was hidden and obscure, and he never thought that he would one day have a person who was related to him. and Xu Ruowan's biological mother was an accident at first, but when Xu Ruowan was born, he felt so lucky.

Thinking of Xu Ruowan's biological mother, Xu Jinping's face was cold, "Wan'er, when do you plan to stay with that woman?" ”

Xu Ruowan raised her eyebrows, and then said, "Daddy, I know you don't like her, but in addition to being Wan'er's mother, she is also the head mother of another family." ”

"Hasn't she already broken with that family?"

Xu Ruowan smiled confidently, "With her two stupid sons here, it can't be broken." ”

Xu Jinping saw that she was smiling happily, and her mood improved, so she laughed together.

Zhao Hexuan, as they expected, directly approached Zhao Hengguang, and what he said lost his identity and reason. Zhao Hengguang was furious, not only gave him a grounding order, but also weakened the power in his hands. When he was taken away by the guards, he didn't forget to stare at Zhao Hengguang and Zhao Heliang, his eyes were full of hostility, and the seeds of killing were sown.

Zhao Heliang hugged his chest and swept away the direction where Zhao Hengguang left with cold eyes, "I can't help myself." ”

Zhao Hengguang looked at Zhao Heliang and said mockingly: "Don't talk about him, don't you do the same." ”

Zhao Heliang turned his head, the expression on his face adjusted, and his chin was silent. Whatever Zhao Hengguang said next, he responded to it one by one, but he didn't accept it in his heart, and no one else knew except himself.

Zhao Hengguang suddenly stopped and waved his hand, "You stand down." ”

"Yes, Father."

After Zhao Heliang closed the door, he said in a voice that only he could hear: "You are wrong, father, I don't do anything beyond my means." ”

As soon as he returned to his palace, he asked his subordinates, "Is there a reply from the Qing Netherworld?" ”

The subordinate said: "They will send troops in the past two days. ”

"Very good, the corpse is good, somewhere else!"

"Yes!"

Zhao Heliang looked at the moon in the sky, the light was misty, and the disc emerged from the clouds. A smile couldn't help but crack from the corner of his mouth, "Will the clouds of the guard see the bright moon, as long as it will be ...... soon"

In the early morning, the rooster crowed very much, and the sky was still dark, Zhao Shanyu got up, she took out the clothes that Bai Qi had prepared, stroked them gently, and then put them on her body, the thin belt was knotted in order, the swaying bead curtain was neatly organized, and the collar was hidden in the dark button along the Yunxiu pattern. She folded her sleeves after combing her hair bun, stood dignified and erect in the mirror, and sighed: "How long has it been since I wore it like this?" ”

Chu Xiangyao lifted the curtain and saw Zhao Shanyu like this, and his words and deeds became a little more stable.

Zhao Shanyu attached her arm and said, "Let's go." ”

"Yes."

Ah Qing was already sitting in front of the carriage, he was wearing a gauze hat, and his clothes and posture were somewhat similar to Zhao Heqing.

Zhao Shanyu's eyes flickered, and she turned her head to Fan Jingtian and said, "Heqing will be handed over to you." ”

"Mother-in-law......" Fan Jingtian didn't sleep all night, his voice was hoarse and deep, "Take care." ”

Zhao Shanyu nodded, and then got into the carriage with Chu Xiangyao.

Ah Qing, who was holding the horsewhip, made a gesture to Fan Jingtian and Bai Qi, and then shook it hard, the horse raised its head and roared, raised its hooves and ran towards the road ahead. The carriage disappeared into the mist in a few moments, and no matter how closely you looked at it, there was not even a shadow.

Bai Qi patted Fan Jingtian in sadness, "Master Fan, what we can do now is not to live up to what Mrs. Shen explained." ”

Fan Jingtian looked at him, and there was more determination in his eyes, "Go." ”

Bai Qi nodded, and asked someone to pull out another carriage from the side, and Zhao Heqing, who was staying inside, was sleeping, because Bai Qi added a sleeping part to the medicine, even if it was thunder, he would not wake up.

"When Fan Ye arrives at East Street, he will meet the same carriage, and Fan Ye will take the master away at that time."

"Yes." Fan Jingtian jumped into the carriage, said hello, and asked the driver to drive the horse.

Bai Qi waved his hand and said in his heart: I hope God will bless the master to leave safely.

Zhao Shanyu opened the curtain a little, and saw that she was getting closer and closer to the imperial city, but her heart was very calm. Not only her, Chu Xiangyao was also indifferent.

"Xiangyao," Zhao Shanyu held Chu Xiangyao's hand, the temperature was cold, she stretched out her other hand to wrap it in an attempt to convey warmth, "Thank you." ”

Chu Xiangyao shook his head, "Xiangyao doesn't mind, it's just a little regretful." She knows what will happen in front of her, so at this juncture, she doesn't want to hide the things in her heart. It's easy to say it, "I know that Fan Ye didn't mean that to me, but I really want him to know." ”

Zhao Shanyu sighed, "Blame me for not giving you enough time." ”

"Madam, you misunderstood, even if there is no matter of today, I plan to hide it for a while, but I was suddenly greedy before I died, and this mood is very contradictory, so I still didn't open my mouth just now......"

Zhao Shanyu held Chu Xiangyao on her shoulder, and said softly: "Do you regret it?" ”

"En......"

"Sedum was wronged when I was a child, and this is how I lay on my shoulder," Zhao Shanyu raised her hand and gently stroked Chu Xiangyao's head, "This is the only thing I can do for you now." ”

Chu Xiangyao closed her eyes, imagining what Fan Jingtian looked like at that time, on the same shoulder, she could feel his breath.

Ah Qing had already seen the big city gate in front of him, and the guards on the opposite side naturally noticed them, and then a wave of men and horses greeted them. He lifted the reins hard, and the horse suddenly stopped, disturbing Zhao Shanyu and Chu Xiangyao, who were immersed in thoughts.

"We're here." Ah Qing whispered.

Zhao Shanyu straightened her clothes, walked in front of the carriage, and said to the guards in front: "I'm Zhao Shanyu, go back and tell Zhao Hengguang that everything he wants is here." ”

A few of the guards had seen Zhao Shanyu, and when they heard her words, they immediately made a decision, so they set off to report, and did not forget to remind their companions to keep an eye on Zhao Shanyu and the others when they left.

Zhao Shanyu pointed to the head of the city wall, "We're going to wait for him there." ”

"This ......"

"There are just three of us, what can we do, and...... Can you take care of this? Zhao Shanyu said this, and at the same time took out a dagger and put it against her throat.

"Don't ......" The guards couldn't figure out what Zhao Hengguang would do with Zhao Shanyu, after all, the relationship between the royal family was there, and she couldn't let her die in front of them, "Okay, we promise, don't be impulsive." ”

Zhao Shanyu walked ahead and said to Ah Qing and Chu Xiang: "Heqing and Lotus Buckwheat follow." ”

They were led by the guards to the top of the city wall, and the three of them looked at the people hanging on the wall, and stood silently, without saying a word.

A few guards wanted to go up and snatch Zhao Shanyu's dagger, but she stabbed a little into the skin first, how dare those guards move. (To be continued.)
