There was a major event in Beijing, one was the collapse of the king, the second was the succession of Xiao Zhuo, and the third was that King Rui took advantage of the chaos to flee back to the fiefdom.

The Red Bun Pavilion suddenly became busy.

Because of Xiao Tan's death, the city was full of demons, although it was not as good as the night walk of the hundred ghosts some time ago, but it was still not to be underestimated, and I and several adults in the hall ran around day and night, and finally stabilized the situation.

And Xiao Zhuo's side, the new monarch succeeded to the throne, and everything was waiting to be done, but the affairs in the court bureau had nothing to do with our Hongwen Pavilion, so we were only responsible for presiding over various blessing and sacrifice ceremonies at the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens after he ascended the throne, but he should have been very busy recently, and I could hardly even see his face, so naturally, I could only put Zheng Hongwen's matter aside for the time being.

As for Lin Suwen, although Xiao Zhuo has inherited the throne, there are still many complex forces in the court, King Rui is dying, at this time, he still wants to block Xiao Zhuo, their Lin family, as a family that has guarded the king for generations, naturally wants to help Xiao Zhuo deal with these problems, walking around the capital every day, only to see him from a distance, arch his hand, bow his head, say hello and leave in a hurry.

And the senior brother also had to guard Xiao Zhuo's side, for a while, there was no one to talk to, although he worked hard every day, he was tired to death, but his heart was always empty.

On this day, when he was purifying the demonic qi in the palace, he saw his senior brother coming from a distance, and hurriedly saluted him: "Senior brother." ”

When the senior brother came to me, he first looked me up and down a few times before asking, "Are your injuries healed?" ”

I smiled and said, "Su Wen told you, don't listen to his alarmism, I have any injuries, but after using the formation, I'm just a little tired, and I'll be fine after a few days of rest." ”

Senior brother said: "Since the last turmoil, my father and mother have been worried about your situation, and I have always wanted to go to see you, but there are many affairs in the palace, and I can't take a break for the time being. ”

"I really don't have anything to do, but you, senior brother, now that the king has died, His Royal Highness the eldest grandson has just succeeded to the throne, even in the palace, there may be assassins with ill intentions, senior brother as a guard, you must protect your highness day and night, be careful."

The senior brother smiled helplessly and said, "You, what are you still called Your Highness now, you should change your name to call Your Highness the king." ”

I reacted: "Yes, you see me, I usually call it habitual, but now I forget that His Highness has inherited the throne." ”

We walked in the long palace road, from time to time there were inner palace goddesses passing by in a hurry, Xiao Tan walked suddenly, although there were preparations before, but there were many things to handle the monarch's funeral, there would inevitably be panic, plus Xiao Zhuo succeeded to the throne, there are many things to prepare, up and down the palace, all rely on Yu Yao Niangniang alone, fortunately, this lady is thoughtful, but there is no chaos.

"How can Senior Brother have time to look for me today?"

The senior brother paused and said, "Where do I have time to look for you, it is the king who wants to see you and ordered me to come to you." ”

I was a little surprised, I don't know what Xiao Zhuo is looking for me.

Now that the first king has died, the prince has succeeded to the throne, and King Rui, as a royal family, does not stay in Beijing, although he excuses that he is unwell and wants to go back to the fiefdom to recuperate, but anyone can guess his wolf ambitions.

Almost everyone said that a big war was imminent.

Xiao Zhuo's imperial uncles are not people who can worry about it, Xiao Jian was buried, after Xiao Zhuo succeeded to the throne, he has been clamoring to return to the fiefdom, I estimate, although they do not have the courage and ambition of King Rui, they can't do anything rebellious and rebellious, but obviously they are not on Xiao Zhuo's side, once Xiao Zhuo and King Rui conflict, they can't be expected to come to protect Xiao Zhuo and relieve the siege.

In addition to this, I am vaguely worried.

Until now, I haven't found Lu Weilou, and I don't know when the person behind him will appear, or I just want to wait for Xiao Zhuo and King Rui to lose both and reap the benefits of the fisherman.

This is obviously a very tricky situation for Xiao Zhuo.

"The King ...... Him"

I hesitated, "What are you looking for me to do?" ”

The senior brother thought for a while and said: "It should be about the Lin family, I followed the king early in the morning, and the head of the Lin family came to visit the king, saying that they had found traces of the Suhe Lan clan in southern Xinjiang, and those people gathered a mob and invaded the border, and the Lin family invited themselves to go and exterminate them." ”

"Su He Lan Clan......"

Thinking of the assassins and teenagers I met before, my heart was a little disturbed, the Lin family left, I was afraid that Lin Suwen would not be able to stay.

I don't know what the matter of the Su Helan clan has developed, but the soul curse on my body can only last for another three months at most.

Returning to Changying this time is just a temporary departure for him, but in my place, a turn is goodbye.

Although we know that with the current situation of the court, both of us have our own responsibilities and missions, and we both need to do things, but in my heart, faintly, there is still a little sadness and heaviness.

When he came to Xiao Zhuo's Palace, at that time, he was reviewing the chapters, and there were several ministers who reported on the government standing in front of him, and it could be seen that he was still very busy, but when he saw me, he still dismissed those people.

He stood up and said to me, "You're here." ”

I hurriedly saluted him, and listened to him again: "These days, the affairs of the DPRK and China are busy, and I haven't had time to see you. ”

I arched my hand and said: "Weichen serves in the Hongwen Pavilion, slaying demons and eliminating demons, and maintaining peace in Beijing, which is within his duty. ”

Xiao Zhuo walked away from the bookcase, took me to the main hall, and said, "There are no outsiders here, so there is no need to be so restrained." ”

He hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively: "Tan'er, now that the lone king has inherited the throne, there are many things that can be decided by himself, if you want to come back......

Until now, he still wants me to admit Xiao Tan's identity and come back, I know that he doesn't want me to be left behind, alone, if I return to my identity, he will take care of me.

But I don't have that intention.

Seeing that he still refused to give up, he could only bow his hand again and said: "Your Majesty, Weichen has already said that in this world, there is only Gu Feiran, and there is no Xiao Tan, but even if Weichen is Gu Feiran, he will always guard His Highness's side, isn't it good?" ”

Seeing this, Xiao Zhuo sighed: "Now that you have made up your mind, the Lone King will no longer be reluctant, but you are alone and out, you have to take good care of yourself." ”

I said yes to him again, hesitated, and said: "Wechen will be fine, the king doesn't have to worry, paying too much attention to Wechen's words will make others suspicious." ”

"The matter of the Lin family master, King Gu already knows."

Xiao Zhuo sat down and said: "When I heard that you were taken away by him that day, King Gu knew that he was already suspicious, but he didn't expect the problem to be here, and he wanted to go to the Lin Mansion to ask for someone in person, but after thinking about it, he felt that this method would only make him more suspicious, so he only let Su Wen go alone, fortunately, Su Wen ...... you to you."

After a pause, he smiled indifferently and said: "You are the only bloodline left in the world by Uncle Jingwang, even if the Lone King knows that taking special care of you will make others suspicious, but occasionally he still can't hide it......"

I said again: "The king's concern for Weichen, Weichen understands, but with senior brother and colleagues from Hongwenguan, Weichen has never been alone, and His Royal Highness does not need to worry about Weichen." ”

Xiao Zhuo nodded, but his expression was still a little stunned.

I was afraid that he would be entangled in this issue again, so I tentatively asked: "I don't know what is the matter with His Highness calling Weichen?" ”

Xiao Zhuo reacted at this time, and said with a wry smile: "If you don't say it, the lonely king has forgotten about Zheng Hongwen......

I didn't expect that he came to me this time for Zheng Hongwen's business, so he quickly knelt down and said: "It was Weichen's poor supervision that caused Lord Zheng to go astray, and asked the king to surrender." ”

Xiao Zhuo sighed: "Su Wen has already told King Gu about him." ”

I have already guessed this matter, although Lin Yiqiu knows that the Shengjing Barrier has long been broken, but he has always suspected that I did it, and he doesn't know Zheng Hongwen at all, so the person who told Xiao Zhuo about this matter can only be Lin Suwen, the young master of the Lin family, who never lies and never shields, has always been fair and upright, and will not care about human feelings.

I said: "This matter should have been reported to the king earlier, but there have been many things in the court recently, and Weichen did not dare to disturb the king with this. ”

"Your temperament, how can the lonely king not know? This matter can be big or small, although Zheng Hongwen caused a turmoil in Shengjing, which is very hateful, but fortunately, the Hongwen Pavilion handled it properly and did not cause casualties, and you saved the lives of the people in the city. ”

He paused and said, "I'll leave this matter to you, you are the head of the Red Smell Pavilion, it's up to you to decide what to do with him." ”

I was overjoyed and quickly bowed my head: "Thank you, Your Majesty." ”

"It's not the Lone King that you want to thank."

Xiao Zhuo said with emotion: "I have heard that you have been suppressing this matter in your heart all these days, lest you suffocate it, the Lone King deliberately took the time to see you, you should go and thank him." ”

I was stunned, and saw Xiao Zhuo helplessly: "He is a person who will never intercede for others, for the sake of his face, the lonely king will not pursue anything." ”

I said yes, thanked me again, thought of my brother's previous words, hesitated, and asked, "I have heard of him...... The Lin family, are you going back to Changying in the near future? ”

Xu is thought of the Su Helan clan, a worried look appeared between Xiao Zhuo's eyebrows, and he nodded.

looked at me and said, "Su Wen will also go back." ”

Seeing that he specifically mentioned Lin Suwen, I smiled awkwardly.

I heard him say again: "Why, didn't Su Wen tell you?" ”

I said: "These days, Weichen and him have their own things to do, he has moved back to the forest house to live, and he hasn't seen much of it." ”

Xiao Zhuo said: "He is in the palace now, presumably in the next two days, he will leave, this time I will go back, I don't know when and what month he will come back, go and send him off." ”
