Chapter 40: The Strength of Will

That night, Chen Yicong stood at the door of Qinyuan again, he looked at the old word "Qinyuan" on the height, and his mood could not be calmed down for a long time.

Lu Dou stepped forward a little puzzled, "Your Majesty? We're ...... now."

Chen Yicong retracted his gaze and said in a low voice, "Go and spread the word, I'm here." ”

At night, the garden is silent.

In the past few days, because of his own ban, Qinyuan has not even had time to hire servants, and the snow on the ground still maintains its original appearance, except for the series of footprints left by Lu Dou, there are no other traces.

Chen Yicong walked in this silent and cold courtyard, but his mind was always stuck in the picture that happened in the small courtyard of Bailing in the evening.

Unknowingly, he came to Hengyuanjun's side courtyard.

Heng Yuanjun still didn't have time to come out to greet him, at this moment he just walked to the gate of the courtyard, and when he saw Chen Yicong, he knelt down and saluted.

Chen Yicong glanced at him indifferently, "Calm down." ”

The two approached the house, one after the other.

It can be seen that the charcoal used by Heng Yuanjun for heating here should have been used up - the charcoal basin raised in the house was newly burned, and the striped charcoal engraved with dark red patterns on both sides was obviously the exclusive offering of the Heart Nourishing Palace.

Chen Yicong glanced at the room, "Are you alone here today?" Where's that guard of yours? ”

"I want to drink a kind of pine needle after dark." Heng Yuanjun smiled, "There is no more at home, so let him go out and look for it." ”

"What kind of pine needles?"

"Luzhou pine needles," Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Generally produced in the mountains and forests on the border of Luzhou and Shuzhou, and recently, Pingjing's tea shops have also been put on the shelves one after another......"

Chen Yicong snorted coldly, "...... I said that you are not allowed to take a step out of Qinyuan, are you just like this? ”

Heng Yuanjun laughed, and he said softly, "If you can't drink this tea tonight, the minister won't live, and he won't work for His Majesty." ”

"Where did you get the money?"

"Han Chong's Yulu."

"He's on an errand for you, and you're going to spend his money?"

"He willing." Heng Yuanjun replied calmly.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's shameless. Chen Yicong shook his sleeves and said.

"Han Chong's life was saved by the minister's mentor," Heng Yuanjun smiled, "The mentor left him to the minister, then his life is the minister's." ”

Chen Yicong was a little surprised-he knew that the "teacher" in Heng Yuanjun's mouth was actually his grandfather, Zhen Yishu.

Chen Yicong has never met Zhen Yishu, but his grandfather has always stood in a very high position in his heart, and his mother Zhen once told him some anecdotes about his grandfather - such as how he handed over the ability to run the house to his daughter little by little, and how he argued with Zhen about the old affairs of the court......

"But the emperor doesn't have to worry," Heng Yuanjun said softly, "The minister really hasn't done anything in the past few days...... Han Chong was able to leave the mansion because in addition to being an errand for me, he also had the old position of the Fusi of Beizhen, and he was there most of the time these days, and His Majesty could check his whereabouts. ”

Chen Yicong looked at him coldly.

Heng Yuanjun smiled indifferently, "However, the emperor should not come here today for these old things." ”

He coughed again, then slowly sat down on the nearby slump.

"I saw the chess game you gave to Bai Ling." Chen Yicong said coldly, "What trick are you playing?" ”

"What...... 'what trick'." Heng Yuanjun asked softly, "Can the emperor speak more clearly." ”

"You pretended to send the chess game to her, to gain her trust, behind her back, and slandered me that she was going to leave Beijing and escape," Chen Yicong's eyes narrowed slightly, "What do you want to do to Bai Ling?" Why do you want to target her like this! ”

Heng Yuanjun said softly, "Bai Si Yao is going to leave this matter-"

"I don't believe she'll go!" Chen Yicong interrupted sharply, "I am here to ask you today, what do you want to do like this!" ”

Heng Yuanjun frowned slightly.

He was silent for a moment, as if slowly pondering what to say.

After a long time, he lowered his eyes and sighed softly, "That's not harboring evil intentions, Your Majesty. ”

"That chess book was written by the minister himself, and since you have read it, you should know that it is also the work of the minister...... Ministers wouldn't take such things as child's play.

"Give her chess games, it's sincere."

Heng Yuanjun looked at Chen Yicong.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ As for informing His Majesty of her escape, the minister also has his own reasons. ”

"Sincerely," Chen Yicong frowned, "What sincerity do you have?" ”

"In the past three years, he has been an excellent student." Heng Yuanjun said with a smile, "Not afraid of difficulties, willing to study, delicate in mind, and sincere in attitude." It is a pleasure to be able to teach such a disciple to play chess. And the minister himself has learned a lot from it...... Things I never thought about before.

"So as soon as the "Qingle Collection" was compiled, the minister immediately asked Han Chong to send it over......"

Heng Yuanjun said very slowly.

Every time you say a word or two, you almost have to pause slightly.

"But you've been insisting that Bai Ling is leaving, what about the evidence?" Chen Yicong said coldly, "Where is the evidence?" On the night you told me about this, I sent someone to check on what Bai Nong's family had put luggage behind the firewood room - not at all!

"The donkey cart they went to He Zhuang that day has been found, and the two of them didn't bring any luggage at all except for a basket of baskets!"

"Your Majesty, Han Chong saw it that night, he saw it, and the minister believed him." Heng Yuanjun said softly, "But as the emperor said, at the moment, there is indeed only news about chasing the wind and shadows, and there is no empirical evidence......"

Chen Yicong was stunned for a moment, and was about to refute, but he heard Heng Yuanjun say, "If it weren't for the night minister who accidentally sent Han Chong to deliver the chess game, the minister would not be suspicious."

However, when he heard the news, he thought about it backwards and felt that everything was reasonable.

"With Bai Si Yao Bing Xue Clever, just scratching his boots and checking it, he probably can't find any obvious clues. The minister lives in a simple place, so it is naturally difficult to come up with any evidence...... It's nothing more than thinking of the old letters of the past, and then thinking about getting along with Bai Si Yao over the years, and naturally I understand the strength of Bai Si Yao. ”

Chen Yicong stubbornly sank his jaw slightly, "...... I don't understand. ”

"Really," Heng Yuanjun smiled, "Even if she is a minister, after getting along with Bai Siyao all these years, you can often see the shadow of the old man on her body, but the emperor is ...... Can't you see it. ”

Chen Yicong's eyes widened suddenly, and his gaze was immediately covered with a layer of frost.

He vaguely felt that Heng Yuanjun also seemed to be aware of some of the most secret thoughts in his heart.

In the past three years, everyone who knows what happened that night in Sanxitang has been silent about itβ€”it was the emperor's untouchable pain.

For a moment, the boy fell silent, and he couldn't even tell whether he was shocked or annoyed.

However, Heng Yuanjun's expression was still indifferent.

"This palace gate is like the sea, if a woman like her can't die well, how can Bai Si Yao ...... What about staying? ”
