Chapter 219: The Return of the Old Man

Liu Yan has been dealing with official documents in the dark in the past few days, and today he finally has free time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Liu Zhengsheng, who had been closed for a few times, finally got the opportunity to discuss with Liu Yan.

"When I went to court today, Your Majesty was very angry, not only did you not blame the Huangyuan forest for being cut down, but instead pursued the slow smelting of weapons, it seems that Your Majesty's heart to cut down Wei can't wait."

Liu Yan nodded and said, "My father has always been angry for no reason these days, it seems to be because of his body. “

"But I see that Your Majesty's dragon body is healthy, and even his face is glowing red." Liu Zhengsheng wrinkled his eyebrows.

As soon as the words fell, there was a sudden conversation outside the hall, and the first person to speak was a woman, who sounded quite familiar, "Why is this expression?" Don't know me anymore? ”

"Where? How could I have forgotten what you look like? It was Chu Shenxia who replied.

Liu Yan's heart moved, and he hurriedly got up and rushed out of the hall, and when he saw it, he was really half-faced, half-happy and half-worried: "Why did you come back?" ”

"Your Highness said it's funny, my master is still in the East Palace, how can there be any reason not to come back?" Banrong smiled faintly, slightly cold.

Chu Shenxia was a little disappointed because of this: "It turns out that you came back for your master, but unfortunately...... Your master didn't say goodbye on the night you disappeared. ”

"Master is gone?" Banrong lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then raised his head and said, "I heard that the emperor's illness is bad again, and since the master is gone, then I have to take this responsibility." ”

Liu Yan saw that the atmosphere was awkward, but he still couldn't help but say: "Although we don't know what happened here, but since you are back, it means that you have figured it out, then you and Shen Xia ......"

Chu Shenxia couldn't help but look at Banrong when she heard this, seeing that her eyes were complicated, and her heart was pinched, she was even more nervous as soon as she opened her mouth, and only listened to her: "I haven't eased up yet, I don't know if Your Highness can give me time to adapt?" ”

"Okay, naturally, naturally, ......," Liu Yan said, and glanced at Chu Shenxia. said to Banrong, "The things in your yard are still there, Ruoyu often sends people to clean them, even now and in the past, it was very clean." You should be tired too. Why don't you go back and take a break? ”

Banrong looked up at Tiandao: "It's noon, I can't sleep, after lunch, I'd better go into the palace to take a look at the emperor." ”

Liu Yan bowed slightly, and saw that half of the salute and retired. He kept making his eyes and motioned for Chu Shenxia to follow, but when he saw Chu Shenxia standing motionless, he was so anxious that he pushed him and said, "Are you going to send it to someone's house?" It's also a lady who has worshiped the church. ”

"Thank you Your Highness for your concern, but I still have to figure it out by myself, and it's useless for me to be in a hurry." Chu Shenxia couldn't help but be a little daze when he looked at the back of Banrong who was far away.

Liu Zhengsheng suddenly spoke: "What has Mr. been busy with these days, I have been here a few times, but I have never seen Mr. in the East Palace." ”

"Oh, these **** people heard that the relationship with my grandfather was extraordinary, so they wanted to try their luck." Chu Shenxia saw Liu Yan and motioned for them to go to the hall. So he walked along the way.

Liu Yan nodded and asked, "Who is it?" ”

"It's Zuo Zhen's father, Zuo Wanghu."

Liu Yan seemed to be a little unfamiliar with this name, but Liu Zhengsheng was like thunder, and his eyes flashed: "Left Wanghu? I've heard of this man, who was also a famous general back then, but the most famous is the black bear next to him. He always brings a black bear with him when he goes back to battle, and the power of the black bear should not be underestimated, and it is not a problem to bite and kill a soldier. ”

Xu felt that what he said was a little biased, Liu Zhengsheng coughed lightly, and said: "Zuo Wanghu has disappeared from the eyes of the world since the fall of the Jin Dynasty. What is the purpose of the gentleman's search for him? ”

"Zuo Wanghu was originally on good terms with me, but after the establishment of the Southern Song Dynasty, he and my grandfather became enemies. Regarding the mystery of Liu Yu's life experience, I think he must know a lot......" Chu Shenxia said here. was interrupted excitedly by Liu Zhengsheng, "The mystery of the eldest prince's life experience?!" ”

Liu Yan shifted his sitting posture, glanced at Chu Shenxia and said, "Lord Liu calm down first, this matter is too complicated, so I haven't told you, in fact, because we don't know much." ”

"What the hell is the great prince...... What is the identity? Liu Zhengsheng's eyelids jumped. His gaze wandered over the faces of the two people in front of him.

Chu Shenxia said bluntly: "It is the child of the fifth princess of Jin and the concubine Mei Shanxun of the previous dynasty. ”

"This ...... This...... How is this possible? Isn't the fifth princess of Jin the concubine Rong? This...... Your Majesty...... This ......" Liu Zhengsheng stammered excitedly, unable to even express his emotions.

Liu Yan chuckled and said, "Lord Liu...... Don't get excited. ”

Liu Zhengsheng suddenly got up, paced back and forth in front of the two of them, and said, "How can this be done?" Concubine Rong died in the fire that year, who else can prove the identity of the eldest prince? Liu Yu was not born to His Majesty, but a remnant of the previous dynasty, and the nature of this matter is different. It is very likely that he will usurp the throne and rebel with the forces of the previous dynasty! ”

"Yes, but we can't take down all his forces in the court in one fell swoop, and we can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so we can only take our time now." Liu Yan saw that he was rarely impatient, and he couldn't help but get nervous in his heart.

Chu Shenxia thought to himself, how much time is left for Jiankang? A storm is about to change, take your time?

Before he could say what was in his heart, Lu Zhi suddenly came in and said, "Your Highness, it's time for lunch." ”

Liu Yan nodded slightly, looked at Liu Zhengsheng and said, "Lord Liu, why don't you stay and eat together?" Now that we've eaten, we'll move on to what we just did. ”

After Liu Zhengsheng nodded, several people walked to the outer hall together, but Lu Zhi suddenly stopped Chu Shenxia and said, "Concubine Side, please come over, saying that there is something important to discuss." ”

Liu Yan turned around when he heard this: "What is Ruoyu looking for Shen Xia?" ”

Chu Shenxia saw that Lu Zhi shook his head, so he said, "Your Highness and Lord Liu will eat, and I will go to the Concubine Palace to have a look." ”

Several people walked to the outer hall together, and when they saw the food on the table, Liu Yan couldn't help but persuade: "There is nothing urgent to come to Ruoyu, why don't you eat something and go again?" ”

"I'm not hungry, Your Highness eat, I'll retire first." Without waiting for Liu Yan to respond, Chu Shenxia's footsteps flashed and he had already walked out of the main hall quickly.

In the side concubine's palace, Ruoyu was also preparing to eat, she beckoned Banrong and Chu Shenxia to sit down and eat together, ignoring Banrong's embarrassment and said: "These dishes are your favorite, try them." ”

Banrong picked up a piece of meat and sent it to her mouth under the staring eyes of Ruoyu and Chu Shenxia, but she still didn't send it in, so she said helplessly: "You look at me like this, how can I eat it?" ”

Ruoyu looked away when she heard her say this, but Chu Shenxia was indifferent, her eyes stared at her tightly, and she didn't mean to dodge.

With a "snap", I heard Banrong put the chopsticks in his hand down heavily, and said angrily: "Chu Shenxia, what are you doing?" ”

Chu Shenxia's lips moved slightly, but he didn't speak, but the two embarrassed eyes on his face were still staring at Banrong. Banrong was finally annoyed by him, and got up angrily and said, "I think you're really crazy." ”

Ruoyu saw Banrong leave the table angrily, but he didn't keep her, but looked at Chu Shenxia and said tentatively: "Can't you and Banrong go back?" ”

Hearing a simple sentence, Chu Shenxia's heart sank, and he lowered his head and said, "I don't want to go back with her, I just want to have a future life with her." ”

Ruoyu didn't reply, so the two of them ate by themselves, and after a long time, they heard Ruoyu say, "I also want to have a future life." ”

Chu Shenxia's hand was stunned, and he didn't have time to turn his head to look at her, and then heard her say: "Do you have to kill our Wang family?" ”

"Where did you start with this?" Chu Shenxia continued to pick up the dishes in front of him and said disapprovingly.

"What do I say, you know in your heart, everyone is a smart person, don't pretend to be confused, it's too boring." Ruoyu said and put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, sat up straight and looked at Chu Shenxia.

Chu Shenxia caught her glance, put down the chopsticks in his hand, wiped the corners of his mouth and said, "I really don't know what the side concubine is referring to?" I thought I was ...... has not done anything unfavorable to the Langya Wang family. ”

"Just because you haven't done it doesn't mean you haven't thought about it." Ruoyu replied sharply.

Chu Shenxia looked a little crying and laughing, "Concubine Fang is really a master, even I can guess what I am thinking in my heart." Since I can't do it, shouldn't I think about it? Concubine Fang's words are a bit harsh, right? ”

Ruoyu motioned to the palace maid on the side to take away the dishes and chopsticks, and only after serving tea did he say: "I know, you are not the kind of person who just wants to do it, since you want to do it, then you will definitely do it." ”

"Let's put it this way," Ruoyu thought for a moment, and simply said more directly, "Do you think that the existence of the Langya Wang Clan is a threat to the East Palace, so it must be removed?" ”

"No, your existence is not a threat to the East Palace, and sometimes it can help His Highness ascend to the throne." When Chu Shenxia said this, his eyes were acute, and his tone was very serious: "What the Langya Wang clan threatens is the safety of Jiankang and the fate of the entire Southern Song Dynasty. ”

Ruoyu frowned and thought for a moment, then asked Shang Chu Shenxia's gaze, "So...... This is also what His Highness means? ”

Chu Shenxia didn't know how to answer this question, and the discomfort in his heart also stemmed from Ruoyu's being too straightforward.

If he pretended to deceive, he would definitely be able to see through it with Ruoyu's intelligence, but if he responded bluntly, wouldn't he just tell her that His Royal Highness was going to kill her whole family?

Ruoyu saw that he hesitated for a long time, his eyes showed a little coldness, and he said, "I know, you don't have to say it." ”
