Gu Shi sent someone to clean and tidy up the school, and drove the two of them outside to face the wall.

"Just face the wall here, and wait for a while for Your Majesty to send someone to lead you."

The two of them knew that they were in trouble, and they also consciously stood outside the school hall and didn't dare to say a word.

Murong Li looked at his blood-congested and swollen left hand and sighed secretly, glaring at Murong Jin from time to time, but the latter didn't pay attention to him, just tidied up his hair and robe.

Nangong Qi was called by Gu Shi for questioning, and after asking for a long time, he didn't say why.

When they were called to Qi Ming Palace, their legs were numb, and they walked slowly after leaving the school palace with some difficulty.

In this way, the Qiming Palace, which took half an hour to arrive, just entered the hall, and a black inkstone smashed towards the two. Fortunately, they all dodged relatively quickly, but the corners of their robes were stained with some splashed ink.

Emperor Yan was already angry with several ministers and officials in the court this morning, and when he came back and heard about this matter, he was even more angry.

"Very good, very good—since the establishment of the School Palace, no one has been able to make such a big noise, but you are capable!"

Murong Jin and Murong Li lowered their heads and didn't dare to speak.

"Tell me, what's going on, because what?" Emperor Yan walked back and forth several times in front of the case before he slowly calmed down.

The two exchanged glances, and both continued to be silent in tacit understanding.

"Don't say anything, aren't you very good at making trouble!"

“......”

Emperor Yan glared at the two of them angrily, "Who did it first?" ”

Murong Jin took half a step forward, and before he could speak, he heard Emperor Yan say angrily: "Kneel down—"

So he lifted his robe and knelt down straight, and Murong Li also knelt down.

"Murong Jin, you are quite capable, why did you dare to hurt your eldest brother?"

Murong Jin said: "It was the eldest brother of the emperor who accidentally opened the book case of Erchen, and Erchen was reckless for a while, so he committed such a foolish thing. ”

"Oh?" Emperor Yan looked at Murong Li, "Murong Li, is this the case?" ”

Murong Li stiffened his head and said, "Yes......"

"Then why did you flip his desk?"

"The fourth brother injured Nangong Qi yesterday, and Erchen was angry for a while, so he ......"

Emperor Yan closed his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief, "What does this matter have to do with Nangong Qi?" ”

Murong Jin said: "Yesterday in the shooting pavilion, Nangong Shizi pointed at Erchen with an arrow, so Erchen took an arrow and injured Nangong Shizi by mistake. ”

Murong Li said angrily: "You obviously did it on purpose! ”

Murong Jin's face did not change and said: "The situation is critical, and Erchen is also to protect himself, besides, Nangong Shizi also released the arrow in the end, but Erchen dodged in time." ”

"That's also because of the arrow you put first." Murong Li argued.

"If it weren't for Nangong Shizi to take the arrow first, how could the son release the arrow."

"That's why you spoke out first."

Murong Jin glanced at him, "Then today, it was the eldest brother of the emperor who spoke out first, and the sons of the ministers did it first, so in this case, it is also the eldest brother of the emperor." ”

"That's enough—" Emperor Yan waved his sleeves, "I'm still arguing when I get to me, do you want to let you go out and quarrel enough before coming in?" ”

"Erchen doesn't dare." Murong Jin said.

"Father's anger is at ease." Murong Li said.

"Murong Jin, tell me, why did you go to the shooting pavilion yesterday, did I allow you to resume classes?"

"Not yet. But His Majesty only asked Erchen not to go to the archery class for the time being, and did not say that Erchen could not go to the archery pavilion. Erchen thought that it would be okay to go to the shooting pavilion and practice for a while. ”

It is true that there is no mistake in this statement, but there are still a few grievances hidden, which makes it difficult for people to criticize anything.

Emperor Yan sat down and held his head and thought for a moment and said: "You don't have to fight, everyone goes back and copies the thousand-character text fifty times, when the copy is finished, when will you go back to class, it's fair, retreat." ”

Both looked up a little reluctantly.

"Father."

"Your Majesty—"

Emperor Yan frowned slightly, and suddenly changed his mind, "Murong Li, you go back first, Murong Jin stays." ”

Murong Li didn't know why, but seeing the solemn atmosphere, he didn't dare to stay any longer, so he had to retreat first, "Erchen retired." ”

After Murong Li left, the hall was quiet for a long time before Emperor Yan said coldly: "What did you call me just now?" ”

Murong Jin lifted his eyelids and lowered his eyes, and only said after a while: "Your Majesty ......"

"Oh? When did you not even want to call 'Father'?" From the beginning, Emperor Yan felt that there was something wrong with this child, but now that he thinks about it, he is a little alienated from the title.

Murong Li called him 'Fourth Brother', and he was a "Imperial Elder Brother", which sounded rude, but in fact, he was secretly far away, as if he wanted to clear up something through this.

“......”

Seeing that he didn't speak, Emperor Yan raised his voice and said, "Why, can't you hear me speak?" ”

Murong Jin didn't know what to say for a while, and said with some humility: "Erchen...... Erchen is just, just ......"

"It's just what, is it wrong to call me 'Father' wronged you, or is it disgusting to you?"

These words are really heartbreaking, but Murong Jin really doesn't want to call that "father" or "father", grievances are not counted, and disgusting can't be talked about. It just makes people feel uncomfortable, and it feels uncomfortable to be called that person who once almost poisoned himself and used his life as a bargaining chip.

"Erchen doesn't dare."

Emperor Yan sneered and said, "Oh? So what are you talking about? ”

"......" Murong Jin couldn't answer.

"Why can't you speak again?"

"......" Murong Jin pursed her thin lips, her back was straight, and she still didn't speak.

After a few breaths, Murong Jin felt a dull pain in his chest, and the bamboo slips fell on the floor tiles, and his voice was very crisp.

Immediately afterwards, I heard Emperor Yan roar angrily: "Rebel son-"

Murong Jin kowtowed.

"Since you have just recovered from a serious illness, you can go to the shooting pavilion to hurt people and fight in the academy, which proves that your body and bones are not too bad. You go outside and kneel, when you think about it, or make up a reason, and then come in and explain it to me! ”

"Yes." So he got up and walked out, but before he walked out of the hall, there was a fold on his calf, Murong Jin was caught off guard and knelt down, and his knee hit the threshold of the hall.

Murong Jin gritted his teeth and stood up, walked out and went down the steps, lifted his robe and knelt on the bluestone slab at the bottom of the steps.

Emperor Yan looked at the upright little figure kneeling far away, and his heart was mixed for a while.

Zhao Jing picked up the notebook, wiped some fine ash on it, and carefully placed it on the imperial case, "Your Majesty is angry, Your Highness, he is still young and ignorant." ”

"You don't have to speak for him, the governor is earlier than anyone else, but I don't know where the stinky temper comes from."

Zhao Jing smiled dryly, and had to retreat aside.

Murong Jin knelt outside for an hour, two hours......

The knee had gone from pain and numbness to unconsciousness.

Murong Jin's body was slightly crooked, and he immediately came back upright.

"Zhao Jing," Emperor Yan glanced at the small figure slightly, "You go and ask him, have you thought of a reason?" ”
