Ding Cheng's desperate allegiance to Yang Guang, I have actually been aware of it a long time ago, but I have always been unwilling to face it, and I can't understand why he would be loyal to such a person anyway.

I don't have a problem with Ding Cheng's choice, and I feel lost in my hand, probably because most of the people I meet are very sincere to me, except for him.

In the drunken Hongjian teahouse, Zimin was waiting for me to go back, and the moment I pushed open the door of the tearoom and saw her, I don't know why I suddenly felt very warm, and the heart that was overwhelmed by Ding Cheng seemed to have finally settled.

Seeing my lost look, Zimin handed me a cup of tea and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

I could hear the concern in the words at once.

I shook my head and said involuntarily: "Do you remember the aroma you smelled in the underground of the Zuihong Teahouse in the capital that day?" ”

Zimin smiled lightly and said, "Remember." ”

I said, "You later told me it was ambergris, right?" ”

Zi Min nodded and said, "Yes." ”

I took a sip of tea, barely suppressed my frustration, and said, "That's the smell that someone who has served the emperor for many years will get on it." ”

Zimin nodded again and said, "Not bad." ”

I drank all the tea in the cup and said with a wry smile: "In the Qingyu Pavilion, there is such a person. ”

Zimin poured me a cup of tea and waited for me to continue.

I continued: "He is Ding Cheng, the general of the Right Yiwei who accompanied Yang Guang. ”

Zi Min was stunned for a moment, and then said, "The person you went to find today is him?" ”

I nodded.

Zimin suddenly grabbed my arm and said, "Big brother, are you okay?" ”

I subconsciously wanted to push her hand away, but the other hand was raised, but I caught a glimpse of her worried look, put it down again, and only said: "I came back safe and sound, naturally fine." ”

Zimin didn't speak again, just looked at me.

I said: "He is a person from the Qingyu Pavilion, I was the master of the Qingyu Pavilion when I was a child, when I knew him, he was the attendant of the East Palace, followed Yang Guang, and was the internal response of the Qingyu Pavilion in the palace, but now it is ......"

Zi Min interjected softly: "Now he only obeys Yang Guang's orders? ”

I smiled wryly and drank another cup of tea and said, "Yes." Once upon a time in Jiangdu, Yuwen Zhihe and Wang Shichong wanted my life, if it weren't for him, I would have died a long time ago, how could I live to this day? In the Qingyu Pavilion, when I fought the other party, if he had made a move, I might have died a long time ago. ”

Zimin's hand holding my arm tightened and loosened, "In this way, he actually looks at the big brother and can't bear to hurt him." ”

I nodded and took another cup of tea.

"I sneaked into the Yanwang Mansion to encounter him, and I was aware of it until that day...... You told me the aroma was ambergris. ”

Zimin comforted: "Big brother, everyone has their own ambitions, and if you can't force it, big brother doesn't have to worry too much." ”

I put the teacup in my hand on the tea table heavily, hung my head and said, "I thought wrong, I would think that everyone is like Zhang Wensu." Cao Fu is gone, and Ding Cheng betrayed me...... No, he was never loyal to me at all, where did the betrayal come from? ”

I laughed, grabbed Zimin's hand and said, "Ruoxiu, why did you leave me like them?" ”

Zimin's hand was grabbed by me, and I obviously felt Zimin tremble slightly.

I didn't say anything wrong, because Ruoxiu appeared less and less often in my dreams, and just the other day, I even dreamed that she was saying goodbye to me.

In the real world, she appeared in front of me less and less, more often only a vague vision, I couldn't even see her face clearly, I could only watch her drift away, trying to keep her, but I couldn't.

Maybe Du Kill's worry is right, will I really one day accidentally forget about Ruo Xiu? How could I be such a merciless person? The more I thought about it, the more sad I became, and the hand holding the teacup couldn't help shaking, and with a "pop", the teacup fell to the ground and shattered.

Then I didn't know how, and when I woke up, I didn't even know where I was, but I saw a few faint rays of daylight shining through the hidden window in the west, and I looked around, but there was no one.

I got up and left the couch and paced two steps in the room, only to realize that I was still staying in the tea room on the third floor of the drunken Hongchuan, and then I thought, where did Zimin go?

Thinking like this, my heart suddenly panicked, and my heart, which had finally calmed down, began to fluctuate again, and my head felt dizzy and could fall down at any time.

Almost without thinking, I was about to rush out the door to find her. I opened the door, but I collided with the oncoming basin......

Zimin took two steps back, looked at me who was drenched in water, and couldn't help but purse his lips and laugh.

She helped me and said, "In such a hurry, but something?" ”

Without even thinking about it, I took her hand and asked, "Where have you just been?" ”

She was busy wiping the water off my clothes when she heard this, and when she looked up at me, her eyes were already clear.

I was stunned for a moment, and a wave of apologies welled up in my heart, apologies to Ruoxiu. I don't know when I began to notice this little girl who was with me all day, and I began to feel her joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

Maybe that's why Ruoxiu wants to leave me?

I snapped back to my senses, pretended I hadn't seen anything, and asked, "What's wrong with me?" As he spoke, he pointed to the couch in the room.

Zimin then cleaned up for me, and only said after a while: "You're drunk!" ”

I turned my head away, and she smiled at me.

But my heart moved, and somehow I felt the sadness hidden in her smile.

"Drunk?" I asked rhetorically, pretending not to notice anything, "But I didn't drink, how can I get drunk?" ”

Zi Min smiled: "This is called tea drunkenness." ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then asked rhetorically, "Tea drunk?" I have always only smelled wine and drunk people, how can I drink tea and get drunk? ”

Zimin pointed at me and said, "Big brother, you have drunk tea for so many years in vain, but you don't know the word 'drunk Hongchuan', are you famous?" ”

I arched my hand at her and said, "I don't know what to understand, please don't hesitate to give advice." ”

She smiled and said: "The Book of Changes: The Hexagram is called 'Hong Gradual', and there are those who are lower and higher. The eldest brother was drunk with tea yesterday, and he entered the realm unconsciously, isn't it the cloud of 'drunk Hongchuan'? ”

I was stunned, and finally believed that drinking tea would also be intoxicating, rubbing my swollen head and laughing: "Domeng's guidance, today's eldest brother is taught." ”

Zimin walked up to me and stuck out her tongue at me and said, "Big brother, you......" She shook her head, didn't continue, changed the subject and asked, "We should go back." ”

I laughed and said, "It's time to go back." ”

I don't know why, after this drunkenness, the unhappiness that had accumulated in my chest because of Ding Cheng's matter was swept away.
