The already dim room was even more gloomy because of the quiet, some people said that Han Zhaozhi's very large study had a door connected to hell, and he could get everything he wanted from the hell ghost mission, and the reason why he could do anything was because there was a ghost mission to help him find out anything he wanted in the netherworld mansion.

But there is no so-called passage to the Netherworld here, there is only one conscientious Du Tingwei here.

He's not omnipotent, he's just doing what he can.

Shang Jiu was nine years old, perhaps because he had been sitting for too long, so he moved his body: "The answer to this matter is still in the queen and Concubine Zhen in the final analysis, Shen Xiaosong is sure that the child is a boy, and from what you said, Shen Leng is very similar to His Majesty in terms of his style of acting and his ability to lead troops in battle, so this matter may also be the queen's conspiracy from the beginning." ”

Han Zhaozhi shook his head.

There was a sentence he didn't utter.

Shen Leng looks like Your Majesty?

There are not many people in this world who know His Majesty better than Shen Xiaosong, don't forget that Shen Leng is the person taught by Shen Xiaosong, he heard that Shen Xiaosong once wrote a book on the art of war to Shen Leng, called "The Art of War", and the content of this art of war may be a summary of the many examples of His Majesty leading the troops to fight, as well as the combat examples of famous generals in Daning.

Like a person, it can be artificially shaped, he is the capital of the Tingwei Mansion, and his duty is to doubt.

Boys, girls.

Han Zhaozhi kept these four words back and forth in his mind, he was sure that Shen Xiaosong would not lie, it was a major matter related to His Majesty's heirs, and Shen Xiaosong had no need or purpose to make up a story.

And he could see clearly from Shen Xiaosong's eyes, there was no deception in those eyes.

"Let's put this matter aside for a moment."

Han Zhaozhi got up: "You can choose a place to live in this new Tingwei Mansion, and I will have someone to clean it up for you, but you can't move around in Chang'an City at will, we are brothers, just because we are brothers, so there are some things I can say more bluntly, you have done something for the queen and killed someone, Your Majesty will not pursue this matter, you have spent more than 20 years thinking about it behind closed doors, but what happened happened happened." ”

Shang Jiu smiled bitterly: "I know." ”

He once almost killed Shen Xiaosong and almost became a sinner through the ages.

"You can arrange me a place to stay."

Shang Jiu got up at the age of nine: "I'll wait outside the door." ”

Not long after, Han Zhaozhi's subordinates took Shang Jiu to a single courtyard, the yard was clean, the furnishings in the house were complete, and the mattresses were all new, and after the people from the Tingwei Mansion left, Shang Jiu was sitting alone at the window in a daze, sitting from afternoon to evening, looking at the sky, as if he could look at what he wanted to see from the sky.

Late at night.

Shang got up at the age of nine and did not go to sleep, but walked into the courtyard to feel the cold winter of Chang'an City.

When he closed his eyes, he could clearly see that when he stopped Shen Xiaosong that day, he defeated Shen Xiaosong with one palm, and subconsciously glanced at the girl, Shen Xiaosong struggled over to protect the girl behind him, like a father.

Like a father.

It was at that moment that he suddenly realized that he had fallen into a terrible abyss, and that the queen was like a messenger from hell, leading him step by step into the darkness, while he thought he was doing everything righteously.

Han Zhaozhi's room was dark, and the queen's whole person was dark.

Shang Jiu let out a long breath, he had never mentioned it to anyone, when he saw Shen Xiaosong protecting the girl behind him, he suddenly came to his senses, how could a person like Shen Xiaosong do something sorry for His Majesty? Looking at the girl looking at him with hatred, she was delusional and delusional that it was her sister who died of illness.

Then he looked at Shen Xiaosong blankly, and kept watching, at a loss.

Shen Xiaosong got up, although he was seriously injured, he still picked up the child, stumbled and continued to walk forward, and patted Shang Jiu on the shoulder when he passed by his side: "Thank you for suddenly remembering that we were brothers." ”

At that moment, Shang Jiu was like being struck by lightning.

Shang Jiu in the small courtyard raised his head violently, feeling countless sharp swords falling from the sky, one sword after another poked at his heart, the sword penetrated through his body, and he longed to take his life.

The guilt is really painful.

There was a gentle knock on the courtyard door, Shang Jiu was stunned, went over to open the door, and Han Zhaozhi outside the door raised the wine jug he was carrying: "Two glasses?" ”

Shang Jiu didn't expect Han Zhaozhi to come, the two had just had a long talk before, and they met again so soon.

Han Zhaozhi glanced at the stunned Shang Jiusui couldn't help but smile, and after coming in, he closed the door with his hand, and ignored Shang Jiu, who was still standing there in a daze, and entered the living room by himself, put the wine and food he was carrying on the table, and went to the courtyard to light the stove.

Han Zhaozhi lit the stove and moved it into the house, boiled water on the stove, and sat down before looking back at Shang Jiu, who was still standing in the courtyard: "How long are you going to stand?" ”

Shang Jiu walked into the door with some machinery and sat down opposite Han Zhaozhi, Han Zhaozhi put the wine and food on the table, waited for the water to boil, put the wine jug into the basin to warm up the wine, pinched a peanut and put it in his mouth, it seemed to be very relaxed, but in fact, the content of their conversation during the day was not easy at all, and this action was just Han Zhaozhi hiding the unease in his heart.

Before, Han Zhaozhi said something that made Shang Jiusui feel painful, especially that sentence...... In any case, you are the one who helped the queen do things, and you almost killed Shen Xiaosong, you live in the courtyard and don't go out and walk around at will, after all, your affairs have not been made clear.

The words that came out of Han Zhaozhi's mouth were cold and ruthless.

"When I was talking in my study, I was the Du Tingwei of the Daning Tingwei Mansion, and every question I asked you and every word I said to you did not represent me personally, but represented His Majesty is the law of Daning."

Han Zhaozhi pointed to the clothes on his body: "I took off my official uniform and came to the door with wine, I am the old brother who came to see me." ”

Shang opened his mouth at the age of nine, not knowing what to say for a while.

"The clothes on my body make me dare not slack off, dare not relax, from my heart I have always trusted you and never doubted, but I should ask and do not ask less, I can't do less, Your Majesty's affairs are no small matter."

Han Zhaozhi looked at the wine and poured a glass for Shang Jiu Sui: "But nine years old, now I don't want to tell you this." ”

Shang was nine years old and took the wine and drank it all.

"Your Majesty said that time is moving forward, and people are also moving forward."

Han Zhaozhi took a sip of wine, looking a little sad: "But you have been stagnant, I can understand how uncomfortable it is for a person to live in that guilty moment more than twenty years ago, the moment when you close your eyes, the moment you open your eyes, I don't know if others have ever felt this way, I have ......"

He fumbled in his arms for a while, pulled out a small cloth bag, put it on the table, and pushed it forward.

Shang Jiu subconsciously asked, "What?" ”

"When I first arrived at the palace of Liuwang, you brought a thing with you, I was curious when I saw that you often took it out to see, one day I sneaked in when you were not in the house, and when I opened your small package, the jade pendant fell out, I accidentally broke it, I was afraid that you would find out, so I stole the thing......"

Shang Jiu looked up sharply.

Han Zhaozhi lowered his head: "At that time, I didn't dare to tell you, for fear that you would scold me, for fear that people would say that I was a thief, and then you cried and cried heartbreakingly, and I knew that it was the only relic left to you by your father." ”

Shang Jiu opened the cloth bag with trembling hands, and inside was a glued jade pendant, although it was glued, the cracks on it were still clearly visible.

"It's been a lot of time."

Han Zhaozhi lowered his head and said: "Every time I see you, I want to return this jade pendant to you, but I don't dare, as soon as I see you, as soon as I see this jade pendant, I think of the heartbreaking way you cried in the courtyard of the palace that day." ”

He drank the wine in the cup and let out a long breath: "You have been trapped in place for more than 20 years, I have been trapped in place by this jade pendant for more than 30 years, I later traveled all over the country, and every time I went to a jade shop, I wanted to find a jade pendant that was exactly the same as yours, but I couldn't find it, once I found a very similar jade pendant I bought, and when I thought about returning it to you, you haven't seen it for so many years, and you will always have a vague impression, maybe you will be fooled?" But in the end, he gave up, and the deception after the injury was even more hateful than the first injury. ”

Bang!

Han Zhaozhi was punched heavily in the face, and Han Zhaozhi fell from the chair with this punch, the corners of his mouth were broken, and the blood quickly stained the gaps between his teeth red.

He stood up on the table and saw that Shang Jiu had already taken the jade pendant and stroked it in his hand.

"It's flat."

Shang Jiu glanced at Han Zhaozhi: "This punch hit you because you stole something." ”

He held the jade pendant in the palm of his hand: "In addition, this jade pendant is originally broken." ”

Han Zhaozhi was stunned.

Shang Jiu let out a long breath: "Thank you, I think I know how to get out." ”

He looked into Han Zhaozhi's eyes: "I want to leave Chang'an to meet Shen Xiaosong, if he can punch me too." ”

Han Zhaozhi shook his head with a smile: "If I knew that the jade pendant was broken, I might have returned it to you a long time ago." ”

"Then you're stealing too."

Shang Jiu pointed to himself: "Just like me, what is wrong is wrong." ”

Han Zhaozhi snorted: "Your Majesty said you can go anywhere." ”

Shang Jiu was stunned: "When did Your Majesty say that?" ”

"Just now."

Han Zhaozhi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "I just came back from the palace, Your Majesty said that nine years old will always be the most reassuring and simple nine years old in the palace, if he is not simple enough, he will not be trapped in a mistake and can't get out, sophisticated and smooth people will always be easy to forget the mistakes they have made, occasionally think of it, and will also make many excuses for their mistakes, they can enjoy peace of mind more easily than simple people." ”

Han Zhaozhi looked at the jade pendant: "Is it really broken before?" ”

"Yes."

Shang Jiu touched the position where the jade pendant was put into his arms: "I broke it myself, I want to forget my father, so I won't remember that he ran with me on his shoulder, I won't remember that he took my hand to buy me my favorite food, and I won't think that I fell asleep lying on his arm and watching the stars...... I smashed the jade pendant, and I thought I wouldn't think about him anymore. ”

He looked at Han Zhaozhi and smiled, "But how can it be so easy...... Fortunately, I haven't forgotten him, even now, when I close my eyes, I can still see his face clearly, and his appearance has not changed. ”

That smile was a little relieved.

Han Zhaozhi poured a glass of wine and drank it, it was hot, and his heart seemed to be on fire.

"You can wait until you get better and then go to Shen Xiaosong."

"No, you don't."

Shang Jiu looked out of the door: "I'm sorry for these three words, it turned out that it was really uncomfortable." ”

Han Zhaozhi lowered his head and muttered to himself, "I'm sorry." ”

"Drink."

Shang Jiu raised his glass: "Because I made a mistake and let you support the Tingwei Mansion alone, I'm sorry, you worked hard." ”
