"What do you mean?" Zeng Jiuyan frowned, "I don't understand." ”

Li Fengyu's eyes were a little helpless, "No, you still use him as the prince of Prince Gong's mansion?" ”

"What's the difference?" Zeng Jiuyan's voice was slightly louder, "When he was with us—"

"Don't talk about it." Li Fengyu interrupted him slowly, and Zeng Jiuyan's voice stopped abruptly.

The courtyard on a snowy night was silent, only the lantern in Li Fengyu's hand was emitting a faint soft light.

He half-turned around and faced Zeng Jiuyan.

Zeng Jiuyan also looked at Li Fengyu, only to feel that this former friend had suddenly become so strange.

Li Fengyu's eyes were cold, and his voice was a little disappointed, "I use this kind of heartfelt words to communicate with you, do you think about how I can raise the bar?" ”

"What bar? Where am I lifting the bar? Zeng Jiuyan's eyebrows tightened, "We are friends who grew up together!" What kind of person he is, what kind of person I am, don't you know in your heart? ”

"Zeng Jiuyan, can you be sober?" Li Fengyu's voice was a little excited, "Have you read all the history books you read in the past into the dog's belly?" ”

"How am I not sober!" Zeng Jiuyan became a little annoyed, "I know what you're trying to say, it's nothing more than that-"

"Then there is no need to say more." Li Fengyu took a deep breath and stuffed the lantern in his hand with the oil umbrella into Zeng Jiuyan's hand, "I think you probably know it, what you should say, I'll do it all, you can ask for more blessings." ”

With that, Li Fengyu turned around and followed the footprints of the two of them without looking back.

Zeng Jiuyan suddenly had a feeling in his heart that this time of separation, maybe they would really part ways forever......

"Wait!" He suddenly shouted.

Li Fengyu stood still, but did not look back.

"What...... Asking for more blessings? Zeng Jiuyan's voice trembled slightly, "I ask you to think about what he has done since he ascended the throne, he first transferred Hu Yishu and Master Hu back to Pingjing, so that Hu Lu's family could be reunited, and he put -"

"Why was Master Hu suddenly relegated to the north in the first place?" Li Fengyu interrupted Zeng Jiuyan's words.

"That's because the emperor misunderstood Lord Hu's loyalty, hasn't it all been clarified?"

Li Fengyu laughed, he turned his head, with a little contempt and a little sadness in his eyes, this gaze stayed on Zeng Jiuyan for a moment, and then turned to the deep corner of the courtyard.

"You and your friends are fighting, misunderstandings, it's a big deal to break off friendship," Li Fengyu changed his words, and his voice was calm, "But your friend is the emperor, can you break off your friendship?" He is angry, and the lives of your family are in danger, do you dare to have a misunderstanding with him?

"In the past, there were many misunderstandings and frictions between the four of us," Li Fengyu said softly, "Let's not mention those small fights, let's just say that the few times we really fought, we almost regarded each other as enemies, but after less than half a month, I still couldn't help but run to reconcile and apologize......"

"yes." Zeng Jiuyan's eyes were slightly red.

"I can't go back." Li Fengyu raised his head slightly, and the wind and snow blew the hem of his clothes, "If you can't recognize this, you will be ...... in the future No more stepping foot in the door of my Andingbo Mansion. ”

Zeng Jiuyan was stunned.

"I'm already a family man." Li Fengyu said softly, "I can't just care about my own happiness anymore, I can't afford to take this risk." ”

Zeng Jiuyan lowered his head slightly and looked at the lantern in his hand.

"Good...... Okay, I see. ”

He suddenly raised his hand and smashed the lantern with the words "Andingbo" written on it and Fang Cai's umbrella to the ground.

The candle flame was suddenly extinguished, and the lantern rolled slightly on the snow in a half-circle before stopping.

"You can't afford to take the risk, you treat him as a high emperor, you can! Of course! Zeng Jiuyan's voice was unprecedentedly stern, "But Li Fengyu, you remember, even if Chen Yicong really becomes the kind of person you say in the future, it is not his fault alone!"

"It's you, and there are people like you, who pushed him to that lonely position with their own hands!

"I'm Zeng Jiuyan, I misjudged you!"

Zeng Jiuyan turned around and strode towards the exit of Andingbo's mansion, without looking back once.

Li Fengyu's eyes were slightly red, he watched Zeng Jiuyan's back go all the way away, and then slowly walked to the position where he was standing.

Li Fengyu bent down and leaned over to pick up something on the ground.

He reopened his umbrella and went deeper into the courtyard alone.

The paper umbrella in his hand blocked the heavy snow in the night, and he knew that his wife and children were waiting for him back in the warm bedroom.

……

Early the next morning, Bai Ling and Bai Yi got up and had breakfast, and were ready to go back.

Bai Nongan picked up another basket of things for the two of them and brought them back, so that the bamboo basket that went back became heavier than when he came.

Bai Ling specially ran to the firewood room to take a look-although there was no one there, there were traces of a fire, and Han Chong probably did spend the night here last night.

On the way back, Bai Ling had been perusing the game in his hand.

Heng Yuanjun does like to play dumb riddles with people sometimes, sometimes she can solve them, sometimes she can't.

The cart pulled by the donkey was swaying, Bai Yi looked at Bai Ling's concentrated appearance, and couldn't help but snatch her chess game.

"Eh, give it back to me." Bai Ling frowned, "I'm thinking about business." ”

"It's swaying here, if you read like this, sooner or later you'll become short-sighted." Bai Yi said, "It's very troublesome to have a pair of glasses here. ”

Bai Ling sighed, she rubbed her hands, the side wheels of the donkey cart suddenly bumped, Bai Ling stumbled and leaned on Bai Yi's body, Bai Yi firmly grasped her.

"Look," Bai Yi said, "let's sit in the car and enjoy the scenery now, and then go back and study it." ”

"Okay...... she laughed.

The donkey cart finally stopped at a place one or two hundred steps away from the west gate of Pingjing, and the two got out of the car and walked slowly in the direction of the city gate.

On the city gate, the brocade guard, who had been stationed all night, saw the brother and sister from the crowd at a glance.

This news spread to the palace through the flag, when Bai Ling and Bai Yi almost passed the inspection of the West City Gate.

Chen Yicong had already gone down the early court, and he was resting in the Heart Cultivation Hall at the moment, and this morning's early court still made him very unhappy - when he thought of the faces of those courtiers who tried every means to stop the implementation of the "two institutes" and the "special imperial examination", he felt a physiological headache.

Lu Dou trotted in and reported the news of Bai Lingbaiyi's return to Chen Yicong.

"Got it." Chen Yicong lightly slapped his head a few times, and said with his eyes closed.

Lu Dou took a few steps back and stood silently not far away.

After a while, Chen Yicong jumped off and collapsed, "Go to the Tai Hospital to be on duty." ”

"Hey," Lu Dou nodded, "The slave maid will arrange the sedan chair ......"

"No need, I'll go," Chen Yicong said softly, "You personally go to the Internal Affairs Office and tell those people that they are not allowed to approve Bai Ling's leave in the future, and after receiving it, transfer it to the Heart Cultivation Hall first." ”

"The slave understands," Lu Dou said softly, "the slave will do it." ”
