CHAPTER XLIV

After passing the mountain detour, I entered the capital of Chu State.

The carriage traveled all the way through the main roads of Kyoto, through the streets and alleys, and the coachman looked at the lantern hanging in front of him, flicking the whip, and the speed of the carriage gradually slowed down.

There were a few people waiting in front.

"Fourteenth Master." Someone shouted outside.

At this time, the carriage also stopped, Song Shuyu lifted the curtain with one hand, and his always cold eyebrows and eyes were dyed a soft gold by the morning sun at this moment.

There were people around him who recognized him, hissed coldly, and then saluted Song Shuyu in unison.

There was also a look at the eyes next to him, a little guy wearing a short jacket and a small melon skin hat saw this, and knelt on the ground to make a stepping pad for the master.

Song Shuyu frowned, but he didn't let him get up, and he stepped on the back of the melon skin hat with his foot and fell to the ground.

Among the crowd, a thin white-haired old man at the front was on crutches, his beard was curled, and he shook his hand to hold Song Shuyu.

He was half-bowed with his head, his sideburns were scattered, and his thin body looked like Xiuzhu who had been bent by a blizzard, "—you're back." ”

"Mr. Nguyen." Song Shuyu bowed slightly, and stepped forward to support him, but he hadn't seen Ruan Ling for half a year, and at this time he was nearly ten years old.

"It's really Jiren Amaterasu, you're finally here," a man with standing eyebrows and long eyes came out, and bent his waist to him to say goodbye, "Little Zhang Li, I've seen the fourteenth prince." ”

In order to avoid any clairvoyance, everyone is very low-key, and never mentions sensitive words.

Immediately, someone whispered a few words, "You are shouting so loudly, you are deliberately being discovered by the people of the Zhu family!" ”

Ruan Ling's face darkened a lot when he saw it, and he hurriedly told Zhang Li to straighten up, and he introduced to Song Shuyu, "This is Zhang Shilang's brother." ”

Song Shuyu glanced at him a few times and nodded.

Zhang Li looked humble and flattering, his eyes slowly looked at Song Shuyu, the rumored fourteenth prince had a cold face, his eyebrows, eyes and lips were very pale and pale, like a thin man, no wonder he had to be favored.

He felt a little remorseful in his heart, if it weren't for his short-lived brother who had to provoke the Zhu family and have a grudge with them, he wouldn't have been dragged down to this low level, licking his face and coming here to curry favor.

Thinking about it, Zhang Li walked into the house first, bent over and hunched over to welcome Song Shuyu and Ruan Ling in.

The house is not big, but everything is complete, and the layout is very proper, led by Zhang Li, and several people entered the study.

"You ......"

Song Shuyu put down the teacup and looked at Ruan Ling without saying anything, "How do you know that I am alive?" ”

He had asked Ye Zi, but Ye Zi also shook his head in confusion, looking at him with confused eyes.

Ye Zi just took Zhong San's life to find him, and as for the side, he won't tell Ye Zi much.

No one knew he was alive at the time.

felt that he was really sick, so Zhu found a palace to pour night incense that night, and threw him far away, and it was too cold to do it, if he wasn't very lucky, Song Shuyu wouldn't have survived.

Only--

On the night of the Lantern Festival this year, Lin Nanyu met him!

Song Shuyu subconsciously frowned, if he had been caught by Lin Nanyu before, he would have been frightened and a catastrophe would have come if he didn't think about it. But that day, Lin Nanyu's unclear expression and his words made it difficult for him to distinguish his meaning.

Thinking about it, Song Shuyu's heart sank slightly, and he asked again: "Did the second brother say it?" ”

"It was the prince who said it," Ruan Ling said with an obscure face, "I also asked Ye Zi to bring you some words, you may also know in your heart, we are going to join forces with the prince this time." ”

Song Shuyu's heart fell and fell, he felt that this thing was really ridiculous, "The Zhu family is behind the Zhu family, although I don't know what the second brother has in mind, you just responded rashly, aren't you afraid that he will rebel against you when the time comes!" ”

After he finished speaking, a person in the study immediately jumped out to argue urgently, shouting that the queen and the Zhu family had long been separated, and it was just a matter of ignorance, and the prince's words should be credible.

The Zhu family has a monopoly in the harem, and in order to make the Zhu family even more unique, Prime Minister Zhu deliberately arranged for his daughter to meet the King of Chu.

His daughter has a beautiful appearance and a charming appearance, which is quite liked by the King of Chu, and even has the intention of being a sole favor regardless of the six palaces, but unfortunately her face is thin, and she died of dystocia not long after.

The man said to Song Shuyu, "The Zhu family has harmed so many lives, and it has long been the same as the little Zhu family!" Zhu was afraid that the Zhu family would turn the rudder, so they would take Xiao Zhu's life. ”

Thinking of something, Ruan Ling's blood surged to his head for a while, his hands and feet trembled with anger, and his face gradually distorted, "Zhang Shilang has worked hard for the society and the people all his life, but he ended up like this...... It was the Zhu clan who was so powerful that not only killed his niece ruthlessly, but also made that trick frame Zhongliang! ”

......Hearing this, Zhang Li also seemed to be deeply saddened, pursed his thick lips, and wiped his tears one by one.

"We don't know what the prince has in mind, but I see that he is sincere, I don't care about anything else, I just want that evil woman to pay for her life."

Ruan Ling has been up and down in officialdom for a long time, and in the past two years, he and some Qingliu have been severely suppressed by the Zhu family, and he has been holding grudges in his heart for a long time, and now as long as someone else hands him a sharp blade, he will firmly grasp it.

Cui Shilang, who was sitting on the side, was also angry and slammed it on the table, "Now that we are on the edge of the cliff, no matter what, this desperate jump is inevitable." ”

After finishing speaking, he immediately persuaded Song Shuyu: "The fourteenth prince, you are persecuted by it, and this is also the day when you straighten your waist and exhale!" ”

Zhang Li hurriedly responded, "Yes, yes, with Mr. Ruan here, what are you worried about!" ”

They said one after another, one more urgent than the other, and they couldn't wait to drag Song Shuyu immediately.

The tea was cold, and the leaves were replaced with a pot, and Song Shuyu's face was full of tiredness.

He muttered, "Now that I'm back, I'm ready to go, no matter what dangers lie ahead." ”

All of them were waiting for Song Shuyu's words, and they were all overjoyed at the moment.

Cui Shilang stood up, and Fang Cai's anger and annoyance disappeared, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "In this way, the old man can sleep peacefully when he goes back." ”

The explanations were all explained clearly, and at this time, the words were almost the same, everyone talked about a few topics, looking at Song Shuyu's lack of interest, and several people also politely said goodbye.

"Don't go out these days, this courtyard is tightly guarded, this thing still has to be done safely." Ruan Ling straightened his clothes and turned back to tell Song Shuyu.

Zhang Li was also happy at this time, shaking his head and arching his hand at him, "Things have been arranged, and it won't be a few days, and the fourteenth prince will be waiting." ”

After speaking, everyone in the hall walked out, and at the end, Ruan Ling beckoned, and a guard came out of the shadows, and he whispered a few words.

Today's sun is not good, gloomy and dark, this mansion is hidden in this Kyoto, quiet and lonely, the mansion is cleaned and clean, even the plaque on the study is polished - the book jade collection.

The poetry and books in the world are jade, and the books and jade are hidden in the room.

Song Shuyu sent those people to the door, standing with his sleeves hanging down, his eyes faint.

When he turned his head, there seemed to be a thin layer of frost on his face, and he lowered his head and returned to the study without saying a word.

"Master, you don't look good on your face." Ye Zi raised his eyes to look at Song Shuyu, and lowered his head again and was busy grinding ink for him.

Song Shuyu crouched on the table, persistent and focused.

"One by one, they all want to let me wade into this troubled water, each has a plan, each has a ghost, let people calculate it like this, can I be happy!"

After writing a piece of paper, Song Shuyu carefully folded it and handed it to Ye Zi: "The three mansions of the Chu family in the northern capital, Mrs. Lu Shutan, Chulun, remember to ask someone to hand it over to her." ”

Ye Zi took the envelope and bowed to leave, covering the door for him.

Song Shuyu lay on the white pear wooden chair with his head tilted up, exhaled, his frost-like expression began to melt, and even a smile was dyed on his mouth.

He didn't come back to get revenge for some bullshit!

Seriously, it doesn't matter to him whether the queen dies or not, he is considered a thin affection, and he can see any love and hatred lightly.

But he wants to live, to live openly and with peace of mind.

Since he was caught by Lin Nanyu, he had to come forward, and when everything settled, he immediately returned to Chen Guo.

Even if everyone's hearts twist and turn, even if everyone has a plan to pull him into the urn - it doesn't matter, he will say goodbye to these things.

It's like a hundred birds returning to the forest, and the sunset returns to the west, and he is going to run to her.

For example, when a young bird is born, the first thing a female bird sees is its mother, and some rely on it and some have a sense of security.

The first thing he saw after his rebirth was Shutan.

Now it's a bit of an exaggeration to say that Shutan is his female bird, but really, she will tell him to be a little dependent, so a little at ease.
