Cen Xi didn't speak, only looked at me coldly, and those glass-like eyes were full of undoubted cold light.

"Cen Xi," I softened, "aren't we reconciled?" After reconciliation, everyone is still brothers, and if they are brothers, they have to share weal and woe, right? There's no way I'm going to let you stay alone in Jiangnan. ”

Cen Xi waved his sleeves and walked to the back room to sit down, I thought he had changed his mind, but when I got closer, I saw him spread out a piece of stationery, and the first word of the letter paper fell a "kill".

Holding down his pen-carrying hand, my eyes sank.

"Okay, I'll go."

With that, I angrily shook open the half-open door and walked out of the back room.

Turning left along the path, I stopped abruptly.

A hundred meters in front of me, Lu Ding was kneeling on the ground and being punished, like those guards, he was also whipped, the difference was that there was a person standing in front of him, a young man with dim eyes.

Hearing footsteps stop, the boy looked up and smiled at me reluctantly.

"Childe, are you out?"

I hid my face and took a few steps closer to him.

"Let's go."

Sun Hu didn't move.

"My son is going back to Beijing, you go and prepare the carriage now." I ordered.

Sun Hu exhaled, he turned his head to look at Lu Ding, who was covered with whip marks, but his words were to me, "The eldest prince and the second prince died when they were young, although the fifth prince is treacherous, but he has no ability, the seventh prince is just a milk doll, even with the support of Taifu Pei, for His Royal Highness the Prince, it is nothing more than a stumbling block." ”

I frowned, but didn't interrupt him.

"Childe has no choice, does he? You shouldn't be in a stalemate with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. ”

I waited a while, and when he had nothing more to say, I opened my mouth, and when I did, my throat was a little hoarse, but I quickly stabilized my mood.

"Xiaohu, come here, let's go back to the West Courtyard and have a good talk."

Sun Hu still refused to move.

At this time, Lu Ding's punishment was over, and he wanted to stand up and persuade Sun Hu, but he didn't expect that because the whiplash was too serious, he shook his body and rushed to the ground, and Sun Hu quickly supported him.

Lu Ding stabilized his body and gently pushed Sun Hu away, and he said to Sun Hu, "Lord Shen Xiang's decisions are never wrong, you should trust her." With that, he patted Sun Hu on the shoulder, hugged my fist and signaled to me, and then staggered away.

At this moment, there are only the two of us left in this huge clearing.

Snow-white birds flew overhead, and the wind rustled through the leaves.

It's so quiet.

I took two more steps closer to Sun Hu, only this time, I glanced at him and walked right in front of him.

Sun Hu looked at me from behind, hesitated, and finally followed me back to the West Courtyard.

"Sit down." I motioned with my eyes for him to sit across from me.

Sun Hu hesitated, but when he saw the undoubted look in my eyes, he still sat down in silence.

"You look like this, my son is really not used to it." I smiled and got up and poured him a glass of water, "Drink some, suppress the shock." ”

"Childe." Sun Hu didn't dare to look me in the eyes, "You go back to Beijing first, your subordinates will stay and wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to punish." ”

I squinted my eyes for a moment and placed the teacup heavily on the table, the tea splashing and burning on my hands.

Seeing this, Sun Hu forced himself to act indifferent.

"Sun Hu, don't you remember who your master is? The nature tells you that as long as you are still the person of the nature for a day, you can only be disposed of by the appearance alone. I glared at him with fiery eyes, "Don't say that Cen Xi is not the emperor now, even if he has to ascend to the throne in the future, he has the same ability to protect you, you remember!"

Sun Hu looked up in amazement, and gradually, his eyes moistened.

"Xiangye, you ...... Believe me? ”

I sighed, and said a little helplessly, "I don't believe you, don't you believe Gu Yuancheng?" ”

Sun Hu was shocked again, and he stood up.

"You already know?"

I shrugged, shook my head, and said, "My son doesn't know anything." ”

"That ......"

"Ben Gongzi just couldn't sleep last night, so he thought about it casually."

"We would have met the assassin in front of the noodle stall so coincidentally, and Gu Yuancheng also appeared there so coincidentally, if the prime minister boldly guessed, Gu Yuancheng has actually been monitoring our whereabouts since we came to this Lotus County, he revealed the news to the group of masked people, and hid in the shadows to watch us being besieged, so all this will be so coincidental."

"But......" I looked into Sun Hu's eyes, "why did we go to that noodle stall so coincidentally?" ”

Sun Hu knew that I had guessed everything, and he bowed his head and knelt in front of me.

"Subordinate......

I raised my hand to interrupt him, and said, "What you did was too obvious, that's why Cen Xi will kill you." ”

Sun Hu pursed his lips.

"You should know that the crown prince is at odds with the emperor...... "I paused, and said, "The emperor asked you to check on the masked man, right?" ”

“…… Be. ”

"Although the emperor is Cen Xi's father, you dare to use us as bait in such a grand manner, my son doesn't care, but Cen Xi won't want to let you go." I helped him up, "My son told you before going to the East Courtyard, you still think too shallowly about this emperor's mind." ”

"What does Gongzi mean is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is angry with his subordinates because of the emperor?" Sun Hu kind of figured it out.

I bent down and patted his robe for him and pressed him to his seat.

"You're only halfway there."

Sun Hu looked at me puzzled.

I explained, "He is not only angry with you, but also angry with you, you can do things for the emperor, but you can't challenge the majesty of the crown prince because of this." ”

"Lu Ding and those guards are a lesson, if it weren't for Cen Xi thinking about the past, how would they have a chance to live now?"

"Besides, what this son can figure out, Cen Xi can naturally figure it out, he wants to kill you, not just because you leaked our whereabouts or treasonous collusion, these names are just an excuse for him to get rid of you."

After listening to my analysis, Sun Hu was already in a cold sweat behind him.

The emperor's intention was to let him assist Xiang Ye to find out the ins and outs of the masked man, he originally thought that the son was injured and should not work too hard, so he wanted to find out this matter secretly, and then report it to the emperor in the name of Xiang Ye, but he didn't expect it......

"I didn't expect the masked man to be a dead hand as soon as he came up? I didn't expect Gu Yuancheng to make a plan and bait all of us? I didn't expect Cen Xi to kill you because of this? As soon as I looked at his eyes, I guessed his thoughts, and said helplessly, "My son is just a little injured, and he is not terminally ill!" If you advocate like this, won't you want the emperor to be suspicious of you? Maybe the emperor wants to be embarrassed by you and me, and then you will have to prepare a coffin for the two of us!"

"This matter is a subordinate's lack of consideration." Sun Hu was ashamed.

I felt a little thirsty, so I picked up the water that I had just poured for Sun Hu and drank it in a few sips.

"Don't take it as an example, you go pack your things, we have to go."

Sun Hu got up silently, and when he walked to the door, he said to me, "Your subordinates will not be like this again, you are the prime minister that your subordinates follow, and your subordinates will never have no confidence in you like this again." ”

I was a little stunned when I heard him say this, and when I came back to my senses and wanted to say something to him, there was no sign of him at the door.

When I left, Cen Xi didn't come out to see me off.

I left the imperial doctor in the West Courtyard, and I also kept the tonic herbs I brought.

The carriage soon left Lianhua County and walked slowly on the official road. I don't know when, light rain began to fall in the sky one after another.

This rain is cold, but it nourishes all things in the world.

The curtain of the car was lifted by the gust of breeze, and I was bored with my head, and my eyes looked out from time to time through the gap in the curtain, and suddenly, a cloud of white clothes passed outside the curtain in an instant.

"Stop." I spoke up.

The carriage gradually stopped, and I was about to get out of it.

"Wait." Sun Hu stopped me, he took an umbrella and got out of the car in front of me, and when he opened the umbrella, he said, "Childe, please get out of the car." ”

When I saw Sun Hu's coherent movements, I only felt indescribably awkward. Originally, Sun Hu wanted to help me get out of the car, but I waved my hand and refused him.

"What is Childe going to do when you get out of the car?" Although Sun Hu was a little dissatisfied with not being able to help me get out of the car, he was more curious about the purpose of my sudden need to get out of the car.

"Convenient." I talked nonsense casually, took away my robe and ran away, Sun Hu was going to chase me, and I fixed him in place with a look.

The groom's skills were not bad, and it didn't take long for me to see the man I wanted to see.

Light rain, paper umbrellas, white clothes like the wind, as always, Zhuo Zhuo Yuren.

He can really get into the picture at a glance.

No matter what time it is.

"You're here to see me off?" I asked.

Gu Yuancheng raised his eyes to look at me, and a contemptuous smile tugged at the corner of his mouth, "I'm here to see the spring rain, not the people who have fled." ”

"There are so many pavilions and pavilions in Jiangnan," I directly ignored the second half of his sentence, "How can a person like you come to watch the rain on such a desolate official road?" ”

"I can see it wherever I want, what does it have to do with you?" Gu Yuancheng said disdainfully.

Well, it really doesn't have anything to do with me.

I moved closer to him and said with a smile, "Lord Gu Xiang, shall we discuss something?" ”

Gu Yuancheng glanced at me and raised his head arrogantly, "What do you want to ask me for?" ”

Beg......

I beg you to go to Hades sooner, can you?

I criticized him from head to toe in my heart, and the smile on my face remained unchanged, and I said, "Well, I have a little trouble, but this will definitely not be a problem for Gu Xiang." ”

"That's it, that...... The inn in Lotus Town is too expensive, I'm poor, and His Royal Highness has swept me out of the house again, you see...... Can you be a little more accommodating, I live next door to you, and you pay? ”

The corners of Gu Yuancheng's mouth couldn't help twitching, he looked at me, and when he saw me looking back at him with hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but move.

"Yes." He was merciful.

I rejoiced in my heart.

"But ......"

The corners of Gu Yuancheng's mouth couldn't help twitching, he looked at me, and when he saw me looking back at him with hopeful eyes, he couldn't help but move.

"Yes." He was merciful.
