Xiao Zhuo nodded, his eyes revealing mixed emotions that he didn't know whether to regret or be wary.

My master, Han Zheng, was a minister in the court, and before that, he was a staff member in the palace of King Rui.

His allegiance to King Rui is beyond all the words in the world can describe, so to speak, in the eyes of the world, my master is a person of noble character, but for the sake of His Royal Highness King Rui, he can burn, kill, loot, and do all kinds of evil, although he will also feel guilty and guilty because of this, even if later, he disagreed with King Rui and resigned from the official position and lived in seclusion, but he still never forgot the safety of His Highness.

And my senior brother and I, who grew up under the guidance of the master, will naturally be classified as being on the side of King Rui, and it is not surprising that Xiao Zhuo would have this doubt.

But I still want to fight for it, and said again: "Your Highness and the king are blood relatives, what the king thinks, not His Highness's state of mind, in the same way, Master's decision will not be the choice of Weichen and Senior Brother." ”

Xiao Zhuo bowed his head silently: "This palace understands, Gu Qing just came to Shengjing, although this palace is not very familiar with you, but he knows Fu Tianzhi's personality very well, this palace knows, if he says so, Gu Qing will definitely tell this palace that there is no doubt about the truth of being a monarch, but even so, this palace still doesn't want to use Han Zheng's apprentice, because even if he is only an apprentice, he is also a person who has a trace of contact with Uncle Rui Wang." ”

Xiao Zhuo's attitude towards King Rui surprised me a little, I always felt that it was Mrs. Qi Ru and His Royal Highness Lu Yun who harmed their family, even if Xiao Zhuo wanted to hate, he should hate the two of them, and on King Rui's side, at most, Xiao Li, the son of King Rui, didn't know how to restrain when he was young, and he was entangled with the children of the same sect to bully others, and he bullied Xiao Zhuo for a few days, why did Xiao Zhuo hate it to such an extent?

I heard Xiao Zhuo say again: "Gu Qing is a cultivator and Han Zheng's apprentice, so I think I should have heard of a person's name." ”

I looked at him and listened to him say slowly, "In our Shengliang, there was a great warlock. ”

As he spoke, he lowered his head, his expression seemed to darken: "She...... She was also the princess of Uncle Jing in this palace. ”

My face was expressionless, but the hand hidden under the sleeve quietly forced, grabbed the jade flute, and heard him smile bitterly: "It's a bit of a coincidence, that person is the same as Gu Qing, and his surname is Gu, but you shouldn't be a family, twenty years ago, King Jing's Mansion suddenly changed, and the Gu family died in that catastrophe, along with her...... None of the old, weak, women and children were spared. ”

I still knelt and tried my best to look untouched: "What His Royal Highness said, but Princess Jing Gu Celadon?" ”

Xiao Zhuo frowned slightly, showing a little displeasure, then smiled helplessly, lowered his eyes and said: "Gu Qing is a warlock, in the cultivation world, she is considered her junior, and even the palace feels that it is rude to say her name, how can Gu Qing directly call her by her name?" ”

Hearing this, I hurriedly lowered my head and pleaded guilty.

I heard Xiao Zhuo say lightly: "It's very strange, in fact, many years ago, when the father and mother of the palace died, many people said that she did it, but the palace knew that it was not, she was the ...... Even when she glanced at people, she felt that it was redundant, what kind of imperial status, competing for the heir, in her eyes, she didn't care about it at all, but she was afraid that even Uncle Jing Wang would not occupy a place in her heart. ”

"She is the only person who has given kindness and warmth to this palace when it is the most difficult time for this palace, and this will never be forgotten by this palace. Over the years, no one dares to mention the tragedy of King Jing's Mansion anymore, and now it is also recognized as an unsolved case, but you and I both know that Uncle Jingwang's death, her death, and the tragedy of King Jing's Mansion are all inseparable from Uncle Rui's ...... Hongu remembers that when he was young, he hugged him, and he was very young and sensible, and until he died, he was only four years old......"

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of disturbing the souls of the dead who died in silence twenty years ago, I lowered my head and said, "That incident, it has been a long time, and I ask Your Highness to mourn." ”

Xiao Zhuo smiled bitterly again, relieved, and said: "This palace doesn't know why I said this to you today, I may feel that if Tan'er is still alive, it should be as old as you." ”

Coming out of the Emperor's Grandson's Mansion, I felt a little uncomfortable, my heart seemed to be blocked with stones, dull pain, perhaps affected by my state of mind, those things in my body also began to move.

Holding the jade flute, I walked on the long bustling street, barely maintaining a superficial calm in the crowd, and lightly comforting them: "Do you miss your mother too?" ”

The voice was so small that no one noticed, and maybe even if it fell into the eyes of others, it was just me talking to myself: "I want to too, but no, don't come out, someone will find out." ”

I was running around like a fly, trying to find a remote alley as soon as possible and take shelter for a while, but when I saw the vendors shouting and selling on the street, I suddenly wanted to drink.

Walking over, the vendor selling alcohol was a middle-aged man in his thirties, very short, smiling all the time, and being cute and cute.

"Childe, what kind of wine do you want to buy?"

I looked down at the wine jar with red paper on the ground and on the case, and asked lightly, "What kind of wine do you have here?" ”

The hawker said: "Champion matchmaker, daughter red, bamboo leaf green, pear blossom white, and good peach blossom drunk...... There is everything, only the son can't think of it, and there is nothing that the villain can't take. ”

Actually, I have never drunk alcohol before, and some people have said that when wine is sad, what is said is the truth.

In my life, I am hiding and hiding, and what I am most afraid of is telling the truth to people. Whether it is Master, Senior Brother, or Senior Sister, they don't even know what my name is.

Perhaps, many times, even I can't tell who I am and who I should be.

I looked down for a long time, and then hesitated, "Then ...... Bring me some of each. ”

The peddler seemed to be shocked by my tyrant temperament, and suggested earnestly: "Childe, you can't take so much wine, you might as well inform the villain of the mansion first, and the villain will send it to you later." ”

I replied lightly: "Chengxi, Hongwen Pavilion, Gu Feiran." ”

Hearing this, the hawker was in awe: "It turned out to be an adult in the Hongwen Pavilion, these days there are often evil troubles in Shengjing, thanks to all the adults, everyone can be safe, the adults go back to the residence first and wait, the villain and clean up, and soon arrive." ”

I thanked me, paid the money, and turned to leave, and when my brother found me, I was lying in the narrow corridor of the Hongwen Pavilion drinking.

On the plate in front of me was freshly grilled sea bass, and the aroma of the grilled fish was mixed with the crisp aroma of sake, and it should smell good, but unfortunately I couldn't taste it.

The spirits that were boasted by the hawkers were so spicy that they were heartburning, and to me, they were just like cold water, but they were not cold water, and I was a little dizzy after just a few bottles.

Senior brother stood condescendingly behind me, looking at the few empty wine jars scattered on the ground, and frowned: "I have never seen you drink before, how can you drink so much today?" ”

When I saw him coming, I raised the wine bowl in my hand, raised my lips and said, "Senior brother came just in time, I have fun today, and I won't go home if I don't get drunk." ”

As he spoke, he sat up, patted the vacant seat next to him, and motioned for him to sit down, and the senior brother leaned over and knelt down, his posture was meticulous, and he didn't know, he thought he was reporting his homework to the master.

He asked, "I ask you, how did you suddenly think of drinking today?" ”

"Because I'm happy."

I held the wine bowl and said lightly.

There was a stove in the narrow corridor on which the sea bass was grilled, and the fish on it had been scorched a little because I had forgotten about it because I had just been drinking.

The senior brother took it down with a tong, flipped it over, and finally couldn't stand it, threw it into another idle plate, and said, "Where did the fish come from?" ”

I took a sip of wine and replied, "A few days ago, Master Liu asked me a few questions, and today, he thanked me with these fish." ”

Senior brother sighed, with a fatherly expression on his face, I glanced at him and asked, "What are you happy about?" ”

Senior brother hurriedly restrained his expression: "It's nothing, I just feel that you used to have a strange temperament and didn't want to get along with people, and I was worried that you would be alone here and have no friends." ”

I snorted, looking disgusted: "It's just a few questions, which one is friends with him?" ”

Hearing this, the senior brother glanced at me angrily, and probably felt that I was not easy to get along with, and then asked: "I heard that today, His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun is looking for you?" ”

I nodded, and when I saw him bow his head, I asked sullenly, "He...... Is it hard for you? ”

I glanced at him again, with a funny look on my face: "Senior brother, do you think that if he embarrassed me, would I still drink here like now?" ”

"I'm just afraid that you have something to hide from me, and if you have difficulties, you always want to carry it by yourself."

"How could it be so ......?"

I couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Didn't you and I agree before that we should share the tribulation and not act privately?" ”

"If you know, it's good." Senior brother's expression was slightly dissatisfied, and he sighed again: "You always act so recklessly and rampage, next time, don't mess around like this again." ”

"Senior brother." I interrupted him, a little hesitant: "His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun ...... Actually, he's a pretty good guy. ”

Senior brother should still be minding His Royal Highness Lingjun now, so when he heard Xiao Zhuo's news, his reaction froze for a moment, and then he hummed softly.

I added: "His Royal Highness Lingjun is safe now, and after being sent out of the palace, he should be placed in a farmer's home. ”

Senior Brother was silent for a moment before he said, "Thank you." ”

"Thank me for what?"

I glanced at him, and once again showed a disgusted expression: "Don't think that I went to ask His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun for you, but he himself inadvertently mentioned it." ”

Senior brother Zhanyan: "No matter what, it's a good thing." ”

I didn't answer.

"This matter is finally over?"

Senior brother asked.

I hummed, and then I saw him pick up the flask on the ground, pour himself a bowl, and say, "That's a good drink." ”

He held the wine bowl in both hands and turned to salute me, but instead of responding, I asked him, "Senior brother, I heard that you went to His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun before, and wanted to serve him?" ”

The senior brother's hand froze in the air for a moment before he replied: "Yes, at that time, when I was young, when I was assigned an official position, I first needed to go into his palace to meet and accept the dispatch, he wanted me to enter the palace to guard the king, I said that I wanted to be an errand in his palace, and the result was ...... Or maybe I'm not capable enough, not enough to gain His Highness's trust and favor. ”

Thinking of what Xiao Zhuo said to me in the eldest grandson's mansion today, I was silent for a long time before I removed the wine bowl with my side hand and touched the wine bowl of my senior brother.
