It's been half a month since I learned about this.

Or earlier.

Half a month after Gu Chaoge left, Yi Cui handed over Yangzhou to the newly appointed Taishou and arrived in Suzhou by boat with a group of scribes. He was not surprised by Yan Zhao's silent recruitment of a large number of mixed clerks, and silently screened them silently. Obviously, Jiangsu and Zhejiang were initially decided, and the affairs were heavy, but compared to when he was in Yangzhou, Yi Cui had less work at hand, except for things that had to be decided by him, such as taxes, many trivial matters were no longer looking for him.

Yan Zhao recruited many new civil officials for him, established a system of officials with more levels, and at the same time promoted Song Wuyi's official position and power. On the surface, it seems that there is an intention to distract Itsu's power, but in fact, it is for the sake of Itsui's body.

These measures inevitably caused some rumors, but Yi Cui never asked him how Yan Zhao arranged it, and he accepted it silently.

And after he arrived in Suzhou, he never asked Gu Chaoge where he was. Yan Zhao thought that he hurriedly delivered the affairs and rushed to Suzhou to see Gu Chaoge, but he didn't see Gu Chaoge in Suzhou for more than ten days, and he didn't hear Yi Cui mention Gu Chaoge once.

If it wasn't necessary, he rarely even spoke, not even to Yan Zhao.

He had lost even that disguised smile, and his face was often expressionless, and his swarthy eyes were fixed on a certain place, which made people panic.

I have to say that such an Itsui is particularly majestic to his subordinates, whether they are new or experienced.

But Yan Zhao felt that something was wrong.

He suspected that Yi Cui had already known about Gu Chaoge's departure, earlier than he had arrived in Suzhou. He thought that with Yi Cui's caution, how could he not intervene beside Gu Chaoge to spy on him, or Lao Wu, or Doctor Sun, Doctor Li, and Doctor Liu......

But Yan Zhao is confident, most people only know that Gu Chaoge left for experience, and her real purpose is only clear to him.

So...... Why didn't this kid ask him?

Lao Tzu is about to suffocate to death!

Another day of deliberations ended, everyone dispersed, Yi Cui pushed the wheels of the wooden chair and silently fell to the end, Yan Zhao couldn't help but call him: "Zhilan!" ”

Itsuri turned back, and so did the staff who hadn't all dispersed. Since the new recruitment of a large number of scribes, the atmosphere between the monarch and Yi Changshi has begun to be wrong, and today it seems that the monarch is going to find Yi Changshi to have a long talk and put his heart to heart.

However, Yi Cui's reaction was very cold: "Something is in charge? ”

, what an attitude! Yan Zhao's eyes sharpened: "You stay!" ”

"Yes." Itri replied calmly. After everyone left, Yan Zhao waved his hand, and the soldier at the door closed the door of the study, and then he stepped off the stage, with his hands behind his back, and circled around Yi Cui's wheelchair, but he didn't speak.

"If the king is fine, his subordinates will retire, and he has not drunk medicine in the morning of this morning. The king knows that his subordinates are weak, so he has to drink medicine on time every day, otherwise his body will be overwhelmed and embarrassed. ”

Tsk, there are needles hidden in this cotton, and the tone is scathing.

If you're not satisfied, just say it!

Cheng, if you kid don't say it, I'll force you to say it.

Yan Zhao smiled: "Zhilan, you remember to drink medicine, you shouldn't forget the doctor who prescribed you a prescription, right?" ”

Yi Cui turned his face expressionlessly, and his dark eyes stared at Yan Zhao: "Didn't the king send her away?" Why should I bother? ”

Hehe, sure enough, I know.

Yan Zhao asked again: "You know she's gone." But do you know that she asked to leave? Do you know why she left? ”

"I know," Izri slowly lowered her head and sighed, "because of me, because of my legs." His gaze lingered on his right leg for a moment, then he touched the wheel of the wooden chair and slowly turned towards the door, and he said, "I know why she left, and I also guessed the original intention of the king to divide my power, I know it, so I don't need to ask again." ”

His wooden chair turned completely to the door, and he continued to push the wheelchair in that direction, and said slowly, "If nothing else, my subordinates will take their leave first." ”

"Stop!" Suddenly a hand reached out behind his back and pressed against the back of his chair, turning his wheelchair back into his seat. Yan Zhao dragged a round pier, and the horizontal knife immediately sat in front of him: "You know? Do you know that your kid is still playing tricks on me? Blame me for not keeping Gu Chaoge, ah? ”

Yi Cui smiled bitterly: "You want me to tell the truth? ”

"Nonsense."

"Truth be told, yes, I blame you."

Yan Zhao was stunned, and it took a while to react, and he said, "Zhilan, you really blame me?" I really wanted to keep her, but she said it would be too late for your legs to find a way, so you have to go. ”

"Actually, I blame myself more. I didn't think this leg was so important, I've gotten used to it for so many years," Yi Cui looked down at his empty right leg pants in silence, and his shrunken right calf curled up in this pants tube, his tone was implicitly annoyed, "I knew that she would leave so suddenly, so I told her bluntly early on, this leg is okay to cut off, it's not worth her risk." ”

"Then why didn't you say it earlier?"

Itri looked up, looked at him silently, and said nothing. However, the tacit understanding and understanding that has known each other for many years suddenly made Yan Zhao feel good in his heart, he patted his head and said: "You just like to see people revolving around you, anxious for you and thinking for you, isn't it!" He knew that this bastard was too thief!

"No," Idri replied uncomfortably, touching her right knee back and forth, "I just think that if it weren't for this reason, she probably wouldn't have been willing to come to see me." After all, he rejected her, if it weren't for the fact that he had to see him, no girl would want to see a man who had rejected her heart every day to remind her of the sad and frustrated past.

"Acui, is it interesting that you twist your jaw like this?" Yan Zhao was speechless, he got up and patted Yi Cui on the shoulder: "Everyone is gone, if you are lucky, the next time you see her, people have not empathized with her, so you must catch it." ”

He shook his head repeatedly, not wanting to continue the conversation with this friend who had a brain problem, and he kicked the round hole. One turned around, and with a wave of his sleeve robe, a pink thing crossed the curve in the air and fell into Yi Cui's arms accurately: "Gu Chaoge asked me to hand it over to you before leaving." ”

Yi Cui was stunned: "She, for me?" ”

"That's right, didn't you put eyeliner next to her, you know everything, why don't you know about this?"

Yi Cui pinched the pink purse with his fingers, and said in a daze: "Old Wu...... Didn't tell me. ”

Old Wu?!

It turned out to be Lao Wu, Lao Wu who left with Gu Chaoge?!

Yan Zhao guessed, but he didn't expect it to be Lao Wu. No wonder he is not in a hurry when people leave, he still has time to feel sorry for himself here, it turns out that he has already arranged his eyeliner, and he can't get rid of Gu Chaoge's side throughout the whole process, and Gu Chaoge doesn't know yet.

The truth is that no one knows, and everyone thinks that Lao Wu is kind enough to lead the way.

Yan Zhao pointed at Yi Cui, the finger that stretched out trembled, and his expression was shocked: "You kid is scheming...... Still hiding it from her, believe it or not, she knows about turning her face with you? ”

Itri didn't answer. His mind was all on his purse, and he didn't hear it.

He touched the soft and slippery purse made of satin, and his fingers stroked the colorful spider pattern on it, and the stitches that sewed the purse were a bit similar to the way she sewed the wound, and it was obvious that she had made it herself. Although this purse is so tender and pink that the girl is so angry, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, he touches it for a long time, and then directly ties it to the jade pendant, one is given by his mother, and the other is given by Gu Chaoge.

Yan Zhao looked at the corner of his mouth with a smile, showing a smile that had been rare for many days, but he didn't feel happy for him, but instead had goosebumps all over his body: "Yi Zhilan, what kind of taste do you have?" This purse is pink! And what is this thing she embroidered, spider? When she handed it over, she told me that this was supposed to be a token for you on her birthday in Yangzhou, but ...... Why is the token a spider? ”

"It turns out that this is what she has been holding in her hand that day." Yi Cui understood, he sighed lightly, a little regretful, and a little happy. He leaned over and picked up his purse to look at it carefully, his fingertips stroked the colorful spider pattern, and smiled slightly: "This spider is probably me in her heart." ”

What?

Looking at his friend's dreamy expression of joy, Yan Zhao was confused, what kind of mess is this? At first, he thought he knew Izri well, and knew that he must be happy to see this purse, but ...... The spider pattern is him in Gu Chaoge's heart? The girl you like compares herself to a spider and he smiles a lot?

Yan Zhao felt that he couldn't understand the strangeness between Yi Cui and Gu Chaoge at all.

Of course, he didn't want to understand either.

"This thing should have been handed over to you a long time ago, but it's a pity that you haven't asked, I'm worried to death," Yan Zhaomu made a face and waved his hand to drive people away, "Okay, that's all there should be said, you go back, uh, drink medicine." ”

Yi Cui hooked his lips in a good mood, he let go of his purse and straightened up, when he smelled a faint scent of weed on the tip of his nose. This smell is smelled on the purse, but it can't be smelled when you get closer, and it smells more clearly when you are far away. He pinched his purse, it was empty, and he couldn't help but feel strange: "Your Majesty, she only gave me this purse?" ”

"You're like that, it's good to have a purse, be content."

"It's not. The fragrance on the purse is medicinal incense," Yi Cui opened the purse to see, there was really nothing in it, he felt even more strange, "Your Excellency, could it be that you have been ill recently and are using Huoxiang?" ”

"Huoxiang?" Yan Zhao thought about it and understood, he didn't think too much about it, and explained honestly: "It should be the smell of Chu Dongyuan's sachet, the two things are always put together, yours must be stained with that smell." ”

Chu Dongyuan?

Idri's eyes froze.

"Oh? Chu Dongyuan's sachet? Yi Cui smiled, pretending to be casual, as if casually asking, "She did it too?" Chu Dongyuan hasn't arrived in Suzhou yet, and the sachet hasn't been handed over to him, right? What does it look like, show me? ”

He smiled and stretched out his hand to the king: "I'm still quite curious." ”

Yan Zhao hesitated for a moment: "That's not for you, what's so good-looking?" ”

"Did you see that?" Yi Cui asked, seeing Yan Zhao nodding, he smiled and said, "You have seen everything, why can't I see it?" Chaoge's needlework, I want to appreciate it more. ”

Then his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Where's that thing?" ”

Yan Zhao thought of the sachet with exquisite workmanship and meticulous ingredients, and then looked at the spider purse that Yi Cui hung on his waist. He touched his nose and felt that when that thing arrived in Yi Cui's hands, it would either be destroyed or never see the light of day, in short, it would never reach Chu Dongyuan's hands.

As the leader, he can't just consider Yi Cui's feelings, but also the feelings of another love general, right?

And Yi Cui, tsk, as for you kid, you can also eat this little vinegar, Gu Chaoge is not here, and no one will coax you if you are jealous.

Yan Zhao laughed at his friend's naivety in this kind of thing in his heart, and smiled at him: "Things, Chao Ge asked me to save and transfer them, but I can't show them." Look, when Dongyuan gets it, you go to him. ”

Saying that, he pushed open the door of the study, the guards at the door saluted him, Yan Zhao stepped out of the door, turned back to Yi Cui and smiled: "It's okay, Zhilan, let's go?" ”
