The palace courtyard is deep, the twilight is late, and the cloud window fog pavilion is fragrant. Emperor Yuande came to Chonghua Palace, and there were bursts of piano sounds outside the hall. He made a silent gesture and waved away the maid guarding the door.

He pushed the door open and entered, his steps extremely careful and slow. In the hall, there is a heavy layer of Su Luo yarn as thin as a cicada's wings, and a woman in a palace satin snow skirt sits in the middle, burning a stove of incense and playing the piano.

What she played was "Autumn Wind Words".

Enter my lovesick door, know that I am lovesick. Sauvignon Blanc is long and remembrance, and Sauvignon Blanc is infinite. I knew it was so stumbling, how could I not know each other at the beginning.

At this moment, when the moon is white and the wind is clear, it is played again and again, and it is infinitely fun.

Duanmu Qingjia stood quietly on one side, and after looking at it for a while, he lifted the curtain and walked in.

"Qingqing."

The woman hummed softly in response and continued to play. He was not annoyed, so he sat down and picked up the tea poured on the table.

Late autumn is getting cooler, and after taking the lid of the cup, the hot air rises up, adding some warmth to the empty hall. He took a sip and put down the teacup.

The woman's hand plucking the strings stopped, and after a slight pause on it. A sliding finger changed the key, and this time it was "Fisherman's Q&A".

"Why did Your Majesty come here?"

"The documents that I signed with the other two countries were stolen."

Her voice didn't fluctuate, it was as cold as ever, and it was so cold that it made people feel excited.

"Lost paperwork, isn't this exactly what Your Majesty wants to see."

"Why did Qingqing say this?"

"The paperwork was lost, Your Majesty should have blamed the Wei family and the King of Nan'an. But you not only forgave them, but also deliberately rewarded the Wei family with another grace. ”

"The content of the document is very important, but no one in the whole world dares to challenge the emperor of the Three Kingdoms. Once there is a relevant word leaking out, you don't have to do it, they will take care of it. ”

"But if the document is lost, the emperors of the other two countries naturally can't attack Your Majesty. All they can do is find out who the 'thief' is. ”

Whether the Wei family will guard the theft and not say, since the incident has happened, there must be an explanation.

"You are forcing the Wei family to rebel, you want to take this opportunity to cut off their way of life."

"This move may be called killing three birds with one stone, one is to give an explanation to the emperors of the other two countries, and the other is to set an example for the monkeys, and give a warning to the people who really stole behind it."

"Three."

Duanmu Qingjia couldn't hide the excitement in his tone, and looked at the woman playing the piano in front of him with burning eyes, and this song was also reaching the climax.

The mountains are majestic, the water is oceanic. The Ding Ding of the axe, the sound of the oar, faintly appeared under the fingers.

"Thirdly, of course, to consolidate His Majesty's own power. You hate the infinite beauty on the outside, but the inside is controlled by people's lives. ”

"Qingqing, Qingqing, sure enough, only you know my mind best. Such a you, how can I not like it. ”

Duanmu Qingjia got up and walked to the woman, he held her hand playing the piano and played with it carefully in the palm of his hand.

The emperor's tone was full of pity, and he seemed to be pleading for praise to the person in front of him.

"Qingqing, in another half a month. I will bring our child back so that he can always be with you. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The reason why he loves her, pities her, and even trusts her unconditionally. But it's because in her that she found her own shadow.

In the final analysis, Duanmu Qingjia's favorite is himself. But it is undeniable that she and he are the same people. Each other is the one who knows themselves best.

God is so cruel that they once couldn't ask for it, couldn't love it, and hated it. How forgiving God is for them to meet each other.

The long night is not young, and the road ahead is long. If not, how cruel it would be to have to face such a loveless and hopeless future alone.

Lu Weizhen and Wei Sique walked out of the Golden Palace, and the attendants passing by lit the palace lamps one by one, and the glowing light reflected their faces, and their expressions were undecided.

Both of them are cronies of the emperor, but their relationship is the same, and they will pinch when they meet, which is a well-known thing.

If you want to secretly find the whereabouts of Prince Dongyang, you only need to tell one of them. When there are too many people, it is easy to give birth to right and wrong.

But Emperor Yuande just found the two of them, it shouldn't be, things seem to be different.

Duanmu Qingjia must have hidden something, and it was not as simple as it was told on the surface. At the same time, he seems to want to prove something.

After walking silently for a while, until they left the palace gate, Wei Sique took the lead in asking questions.

"It's you."

Lu Weizhen paused and smiled.

"What are you talking about?"

"Whether it's an assassin or the prince of Dongyang. This time, you did it. ”

"You can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately. The king said this, is there any evidence? ”

"If you don't admit it, I think the prince should still be in Baili's house now. Since His Majesty has entrusted this matter to Prime Minister Lu and me, without further ado, this gentleman will take the first step. ”

"Wait."

"What, do you want to go with Lu Xiang. In this way, for the sake of justice, I don't need the attendants in the Wei Mansion and the barracks. You don't want to bring your own people, we borrow a thousand guards from Your Majesty. ”

"They, like us, are loyal to His Majesty. If you see the crown prince, you will naturally protect him from the drip. ”

"What does Lu Xiang think?"

It is not difficult to deal with Wei Sique, but if Emperor Yuande's personal guards are involved, it will be difficult for him to make any moves.

"You're threatening me."

"Lu Xiang, this is an admission that you did everything."

"Speaking of which, I'm curious, since you know the prince, why did you lie in front of your majesty. In this way, you are not small in suspicion. ”

"Since we are suspicious of each other, we should be grasshoppers tied to the same rope at this moment. I thought Lu Xiang was a smart person, and I could see that I was showing favor to you. ”

"Gestures? Where there will be good for no reason, what does the king want from me. ”

"I want two things."

Lu Weizhen casually fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist and raised his eyes.

"Tell me about it."

"I want her."

"No way, she's not a bargaining chip to trade. A long time ago, when we first met, I made it very clear. ”

The face of the young man in white was covered with a layer of frost, and as soon as he finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, without the slightest hesitation.

"Wait, there's a second thing. I want to know what those documents are about. ”

"Heh, if you want to get the paperwork back for such a stupid reason, are you kidding me?"

Lu Weizhen turned around, and the eyes under the mask seemed to be smiling, vaguely mocking.

"The monarch is the young master of the Wei family, and he is the only son-in-law. It's a matter of family survival, didn't Lord Si Kou tell you? ”

"Or is it that the king is too unruly and has angered Lord Sikou."

Wei Sique has a cold temperament and is unkind everywhere. If you are angry, you will become more silent. Hardly anyone saw him show any other emotions.

Until this moment, Wu Anjun, who was in front of the three military tents and could not move like a mountain, frowned tightly, and the green tendons on his forehead were jumping actively.

"Lu Weizhen, your appearance is really inadequate."

"Each other, each other."

"I underestimated Lu Xiang, seeing that you are so delicate that you can't even lift a sword. I didn't expect that after receiving a punch from Benjun, it would be as if nothing had happened. ”

The young man in white paused, and his smile became brighter.

"It's not as good as you, dozens of stitches haven't hurt a single piece of flesh and skin, which shows that the king's skills are profound and invincible. In the next bow, please ask the king for more advice in the future. ”

“……”

When the lines of sight met, lightning flashed. The two stalemate for a while before reining in their minds and gradually calming down.

Lu Weizhen said.

"The first condition is not good, you change it."

Wei Sique nodded disappreciatively.

"Oh, Benjun doesn't have anything else to want, so Lu Xiang owes it first."

"But if you just agreed to my first request, I won't say anything about the second request. Even if the evidence is insufficient, I will immediately tell Your Majesty everything you have done. ”

"I disappointed you, and didn't give you a chance to show your loyalty to Your Majesty."

“……”

After reaching an agreement, the two secretly competed again, but no one was pleased. After walking quietly for a while, Lu Weizhen asked.

"Your Majesty, have you ever looked for Master Si Kou alone recently?"

"No, I didn't."

He has a measure in his heart, so it seems that Fu Youshan and Emperor Yuande have reached a deal, and they want to use the power of Duanmu Qingjia to find Zhou Zhifu and Fu Xingxuan.

But how much did Fu Youshan tell the emperor, and what role did the Fu family play. As for the people behind Dongyang, they shouldn't have heard the news yet.

Therefore, as long as Zhou Zhifu is not found now, then all plans can still be carried out as scheduled.

Lu Weizhen made a decision, and his expression relaxed slightly. Wei Sique also said after some thought.

"Since you agreed to my request, it's better to choose a day than to hit the day. Ben Jun happened to have nothing to do tonight, if you talk at night, you will be better after knowing the content of these documents, but you will have a lot of thoughts, so you can save a lot of dreams at night. ”

"Your Majesty, no wonder there is no girl in Shengjing who likes you. It's not to frighten them out of such an emergency. ”

"They are them, you are you, do you still want to compare yourself to a girl to win pity?"

Lu Weizhen: "......"

In fact, he didn't have time to read the contents of the paperwork before he was hurriedly summoned into the palace.

The young man in white no longer had too much arguing, and had already walked to the carriage of the two of them. He smiled and made a gesture of please.

"In that case, I'm here to lead the way for you, and I invite you to a small gathering in the Humble House."

The bell jingled, Lu Weizhen's carriage was in front, and Wei Sique followed behind, all the way to Xiangfu.

In my dream, I didn't know that I was a guest, and I was greedy for joy.

At this moment, in the backyard of the Nan'an Palace, Duanmu Yuhua woke up, the moon was falling, and a clear light was left behind. It's not too dark in the room, but I don't know what time it is.

She got up and lit the candle, and habitually shouted out the door. The next moment I remembered, my father said that Qingye and Yuxi Lingyue left together.

She was a little dazed, and immediately jumped out of bed, and opened the door to ask a random attendant on an errand.

"County Lord."

The blue-clad sword-clad guard respectfully shook his handrail.

"What time is it?"

"Back to the county lord, I just arrived at 19 o'clock in the evening."

Oh, she nodded, rubbing her eyes. A cool breeze blew, and now my mind was completely clear.

The handsome young man in front of him was the new guard given to him by the king of Nan'an.

"Didn't I let you go to rest?"

"The subordinates have been resting, but they just heard the voice of the county lord and were not at ease, so they came over to see the situation."

"Where did you rest?"

How close does it have to be to hear her speak?

The blue-clothed attendant pointed to an osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

"The subordinates stay up there."

"Don't you have a normal place to rest?"

Yu Ying looked at the frowning girl, he usually followed Duanmu Qinghe's side, and he had to pay attention to the movements around him at all times. So, unless the master takes the initiative to say that he is no longer needed.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to return to the Dark Guard's training camp. After so many years, he has long been accustomed to the life of eating and sleeping in the open.

The young man was silent, Duanmu Xihua was surprised and felt a little sorry.

"Well, then, you have followed me."

The girl pointed to a room to the west of her room, which was vacant and used to be used to place miscellaneous items.

"Let this house be cleaned out, and you'll live here from now on. Don't rest on the tree in the future, it's not safe. ”

"You don't have to guard me, I'll take the initiative to find you if there's anything, Yu Ying."

The girl read his name, and Yu Ying's heart moved slightly.

"Yes, my subordinates know."

"Hmm."

Duanmu Xihua turned around and walked towards the small kitchen, she had only eaten a bowl of small wontons and a piece of cake at the end of the day, she was hungry. Kiyono is not here again, so he can only do it himself.

After walking a few steps, the young man in blue still followed her.

"What do you follow me? Why don't you go find someone to clean the room, and after a while the attendants will all sleep, and there will be no one to help you. ”

"The subordinates must protect the county lord."

“……”

Duanmu Xihua supports the forehead.

"Now it's in the palace, and I won't go out. I just want to go to the stove and cook something to eat, I don't have to."

As soon as she said this, she thought of one more thing.

"Have you eaten?"

Facing the girl's inquiring gaze, Yu Ying paused slightly.

"Eat."

"Really? I don't like it when someone lied to me. ”

"Nope."

"Then you follow me, help me fill a fire or something, then you will."

Yu Ying thought about it, what he did was to deal with assassins and kill bad people. I haven't really done it before, but it shouldn't be difficult.

"Yes, County Lord."
