Relatively silent, only a somber atmosphere spreads.

Even when Yan Li misunderstood and suspected Fang Qingchen, Fang Qingchen had never been so cold and indifferent. Even when Fang Qingchen coldly reprimanded and annoyed Yan Li, Yan Li had never been so sad and so detached.

There was a crackle, and the candle flame danced, and a low voice pierced the silence.

"You're determined to intercede for that scumbag?!"

"I didn't intercede for Gu Zizhou. Gu Zizhou's crime is unforgivable, but how innocent is the child......"

"Hmph, didn't you ask for mercy for the sake of your 'good' friend?" Yan Li's voice revealed a hint of annoyance. He was angry, angry that Fang Qingchen had never told him the truth, and he was angry, angry that he had never really understood Fang Qingchen. Nalan Mo is like this, and so is Gu Zizhou. Although he spent the most time with Fang Qingchen, there were still many important people in Fang Qingchen's life, but he was excluded. As soon as he thought of this, his heart was sour, and his hatred for Gu Zizhou seemed to be mixed with a trace of inexplicable feelings, and he was even more angry at the three-year-old child he had never met. The more Fang Qingchen broke his mouth in all kinds of truths, the more angry he became, and he didn't want to go along with Qingchen's intentions, and in the end, he was almost a little unreasonable and domineering.

Fang Qingchen smiled bitterly.

Repaying blood with blood, tooth for tooth, shouldn't he praise Yanli for not being carried away by hatred after all?

Compared to the misery of the Yan family's helplessness at the beginning, and compared to the horror and resentment of the Fang family when the catastrophe was imminent, there is no doubt that the Gu family should have been prepared to repay it.

It's just that Gu Zizhou's miserable and pleading gaze drifted in front of him, as if it had become a clear, curious, childlike gaze, incomprehensible to the world, not knowing right and wrong, just simple, innocent eyes wide open, looking at the world, watching people's struggle for power and profit, watching people's blood and cruelty.

In the future world, Zhulian is such a distant term, so far away that if you don't return to this time and space, you don't know that human beings will be so indifferent and cruel. People always chant "one person does things and one person is responsible", but in fact, when the innocent are implicated, it is a resounding word: cutting the grass and eradicating the roots, and the non-Yi nine tribes cannot calm their hatred......

Han will open a pair of eyes as clear as a child, puzzled and puzzled to ask how human beings can be so cruel, where is the conscience of the human heart, and then will patiently and seriously explain that the law stipulates that family members who have not committed a crime cannot be convicted, but Fang Qingchen is not Han, he will not say: Zhulian is wrong, revenge on innocent people is cruel, he just, silently looked at Yan Li, looked at his gritted teeth and hatred, looked at his inability to save his family's misery, and looked at his dazed revenge.

The people in the small building don't need to change the world, they just need to integrate into the rules and life of this world, watch coldly, and then work hard to complete their papers! As for whether the laws of this world are good or bad, right or wrong, what does it have to do with them?

He knew how strong Yan Li's temperament was, he understood how bitter Yan Li's hatred was, and he knew how difficult Yan Li's decision was. Yan Li is stubborn, willful, strong, he is not used to incompetence, he is not used to bullying the good and fearing evil, he is not used to slapping horses, he is not used to all corruption, depravity, and dirt, he is resolute, he is jealous and hateful, but he has never learned tolerance and understanding!

Maybe it's my own fault!

Fang Qingchen secretly laughed at himself!

In the eyes of the world, Fang Qingchen is a gentle and elegant, tolerant and chivalrous humble gentleman, only Fang Qingchen himself knows that he is willful and ruthless, he will repay his eyes, he is selfish, if someone treats him wholeheartedly, he is willing to give his heart to the other party, but if someone hurts him, he will repay him a hundred times and a thousand times, so that that person will live for a lifetime, life is better than death! Zhang Minxin is right, he is ruthless and resolute, and he is a heartless villain, so the two queens of Qingguo have suffered all their lives, and they are crazy and inexplicable!

Fang Qingchen, who is so selfish and ruthless, how can he expect Yan Li to be tolerant and merciful?

And why did he just plead for the word mercy?

Perhaps, Yan Li forgot, but Fang Qingchen will not forget that the three sons of the capital in the past were also friends of classmates for three years!

Gu Zizhou, the son of Gu Taishi, Fang Qingchen, the son of Fang Xiang, and Dong Xuanfeng, the son of the Imperial Doctor, are collectively known as the three princes of the capital.

Fang Qingchen is known for his erudition and talent, Gu Zizhou is known for his arrogance and domineering, and Dong Xuanfeng is famous for his chivalrous righteousness.

The three unspeakable sons didn't have much friendship originally, but they just happened to be studying in Taixue.

Although Gu Zizhou is unscrupulous and unlearned, he is also afraid of the master's iron ruler, and in desperation, he can only ask for help from Fang Qingchen, a genius in the eyes of the master.

Fang Qingchen has always been gentle and elegant, and he is not embarrassed by Gu Zizhou's request for help, but he didn't expect Gu Zizhou to know how to repay the favor, since then, the other party Qingchen obeyed, and sometimes even informed Fang Qingchen of Gu Taishi's plan in advance, so that Fang Xiang could deal with it calmly.

Dong Xuanfeng originally looked at Gu Zizhou very unpleasantly, but after getting along, he found that this gentleman in the mouth of everyone was actually not such a vicious person, but he was a little arrogant, a little lustful, a little hasty, and of course, he would also do some bullying things, but there was no great evil, especially in front of Fang Qingchen, he was very honest and never did anything to make Fang Qingchen unhappy. Under Gu Zizhou's deliberate currying, Dong Xuanfeng called him a brother and sister in line with the purpose of persuading and influencing Gu Zizhou.

This friendship lasted until Dong Xuanfeng suddenly left the capital, and the Fang family suffered a great disaster.

After Fang Qingchen rescued Yan Li, he also investigated the matter of the Yan family. Gu Zizhou took a fancy to Yan Li's sister Yan Ling, but the Yan family was full of beheadings, but it was definitely not Gu Zizhou's revenge. Back then, the reason why Gu Zizhou went to the frontier was because of Gu Taishi's instructions. Although Yan Li's father was loyal and brave, he was too upright and repeatedly offended his superiors, and Gu Taishi insisted on inserting his own people into the army, so that Yan Li's father also happened to become a thorn in his eye, defiled, killed, and followed.

The reason why Fang Qingchen never told Yan Li the truth, first, Gu Zizhou was not completely innocent, Yan Ling's death, he really had to bear the greatest responsibility, and second, the mastermind who framed the Yan family was Gu Taishi, Gu Zizhou, as his son, even if he was innocent, with Yan Li's strong personality and iron-fisted means, if he took revenge on the Gu family, he would definitely pay blood for a tooth for a tooth, since the Yan family was full of trouble, how could the Gu family be relieved safely?

Fang Qingchen knows Yan Li too well, and he also understands his pleading, which is not a harm to Yan Li, and even in Yan Li's eyes, it may be a betrayal and disobedience, but it is just ......!

Fang Qingchen smiled sadly and bleakly.

It's just that he still faced Gu Zizhou after all, and he still agreed to that plea after all.

If he hadn't seen Gu Zizhou, if he hadn't heard Gu Zizhou's pleading, maybe he would have laughed at it after hearing it. There is too much ruthlessness and too much cruelty in this world, as long as the evil is not staged in front of his eyes, he, or even any of Xiao Lou's classmates, will not take the initiative to interfere. It's a pity that Yan Li was bent on letting him see the fate of the enemy, but he didn't expect to give Gu Zizhou a chance to intercede! If he hadn't seen Gu Zizhou, if Yan Li had given an order, he would have executed Gu Manmen immediately, and he would not have been given a chance to interfere, if Gu Zizhou was not his old acquaintance, if that child was not carefree, innocent and innocent at the age of three, if, if, if ...... If there can be ifs, how can there be any regrets in the world?

Fang Qingchen lowered his head and smiled slightly sarcastically.

It's just that Gu Zizhou also had affection for him in the past, how could Fang Qingchen, who had always been unwilling to owe favors to others, refuse his only request?

It's just that such a child who has never met but has heard of it is too innocent and pitiful after all, how can Fang Qingchen, who has modern thoughts, accept such a pure life to dissipate silently?

It's just that...... It's just, not why, it's just that I suddenly have a rebellious mind......

"Yan Li, if you don't agree, I will also save that child myself, since I have promised Gu Zizhou, I will not break my word and get fat!" The voice is irreversible and resolute.

With a "bang", the cup in Yan Li's hand fell to the ground, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

"What did you say?" The slightly raised voice, with suppressed anger, a pair of phoenix eyes are already ** blended, as if a volcano erupted and suddenly encountered ice, the impact of boiling point and zero point, bringing a great sense of oppression.

Fang Qingchen sighed softly, looked directly at Yan Li, his eyes were as clear and stable as he was at the beginning, just looking at his surprisingly angry eyes, he couldn't help but lower his posture, and pleaded again: "Let that child go!" ”

Yan Li's complexion changed several times: "Qingchen, are you crazy?" How many sins has the surname Gu done, and you actually sympathize with him, pity him, and even disobey me for him?! Have you forgotten how Fang Xiang was unjustly killed? Have you forgotten how the Fang family was implicated? Have you forgotten the misery and helplessness of your journey from thousands of miles away? ”

"Yan Li, let me say it again, I didn't intercede for Gu Zizhou!"

"Hah, dare you say you didn't listen to that bastard's pleas before agreeing to intercede? Do you dare to say that you don't sympathize with him and pity him? ”

Fang Qingchen was silent for a while.

Yan Li was right, he did sympathize with Gu Zizhou, and he did feel sorry for him.

Fang Qingchen's silence was an even greater stimulus to Yan Li, he sneered, his eyes were full of suppressed anger: "Are you threatening me?" If I don't agree to release them, you will save them yourself, will you rob the Dharma field or ask everyone to disobey their will?! You're repaying my trust like this? ”

Fang Qingchen felt a pain in his heart, looked at Yan Li blankly, and a thought rolled in his heart: I know that you will be unhappy if I ask like this, but you actually don't give me face like this? Could it be that you and I have been in love for so many years that we can't even save an innocent child?

The pain was extremely painful, his whole body was cold, and Fang Qingchen's tone trembled slightly: "He's just a child, Yan Li!" ”

"Kid? When my sister died, she was only fifteen years old, wasn't she also a half-grown child? When my family was ruined, I was only nine years old, wasn't it a child? Who pities us as children? ”

"If you are hurt, will you cause everyone in the world to suffer the same harm? You have been slashed by someone, and it is understandable that you are angry with that person to take revenge on that person, but if you want to take revenge not only on that person, but also on other people, then what is the difference between you and the person who casually kills and hurts people? And who are you to blame the person who hurt you? ”

"You're saying I'm just a madman who kills people on sight?! Why don't you just call me a tyrant?! ”

Fang Qingchen shook his head and looked at Yan Li, who looked furious, and didn't understand why Yan Li would be so forceful. In the past, even if he scolded him and refuted him, he was no longer angry and dissatisfied, but he was just cold, and he never clashed with himself head-on, is this the majesty and domineering of an emperor? Could it be that he no longer trusts himself and is tired of himself?

Fang Qingchen, you are really a failure!

With a strong sense of frustration and sadness and disappointment, Fang Qingchen closed his eyes, calmed down, took a deep breath, and said almost resolutely: "Yan Li, even if you look at my face and my relationship with you, spare the child's life!" ”

Yan Li thundered in his head, as if a thunderbolt sounded on a sunny day, and the explosion made him dizzy, is Qingchen begging him? Qingchen, who has always been proud, actually begged him for Gu Zizhou and for the Gu family who didn't know him?! Suddenly, what he felt was not a happy bow of his head, but a strong jealousy and shame! His eyes turned red instantly, he gritted his teeth, and his voice was full of resentment: "Okay, okay, I kind of understand!" You are tolerant and kind, you have a good heart, you are protective, so you saved me back then, you helped me wholeheartedly, and now, that child is so fragile and innocent, and you are determined to protect him and teach him, right? It turns out that it has always been my own wishful thinking, and it turns out that I am not the only person you care about! ”

Fang Qingchen's eyes widened, and a flash of despair flashed in his heart.

Not the only one?!

In Yan Li's eyes, he has not given up for ten years, life and death, and he was so easily wiped out!

Fang Qingchen is proud and willful, if he is not the person he identifies, how can he live and die wholeheartedly? If it weren't for Yan Li, how could he endure all kinds of insults and attacks without taking it seriously?

It's all just for you!

And you think it's just a desire to protect? Is it just sympathy?!

Fang Qingchen's heart ached, he shook his head, and finally didn't want to argue with him anymore, he raised his feet and walked out, his footsteps did not stop, but he said coldly: "You should accumulate some virtue for your unborn little prince!" ”

Yan Li Huo Ran raised his head, and his mind was in chaos. Ashamed, jealous, angry, annoyed and hateful, and a trace of the other party's Qingchen's guilt, when he suddenly heard the news, his brain couldn't react for a while, and it took him a while to know what Fang Qingchen meant, but the person was already far away.

It should have been ecstatic news, but Yan Li was sluggish!

grabbed a cup of tea that had already cooled and splashed it on his face, the cold water flowed over the boiling and hot face, and the hot brain was suddenly cleared.

Suddenly remembering how he spoke ill of Qingchen and how jealous he was, Yan Li was so remorseful that he was about to chase Qingchen, telling him that he was actually just very excited to see the enemy suddenly, and he was just too surprised and angry for a while, so he was angry with him!

However, as soon as I lifted my foot, I paused!

Yan Li, didn't you say you were going to let go of the light dust?

Yan Li, didn't you say that you would no longer allow such a relationship between the monarch and the minister to continue?

Day by day, how much self-control does he need to endure not confessing and not being close?

Seeing each other night and night, how much patience does he need to be able to play his business right and not show a trace?

He has no confidence, he can go on like this forever, just treat Qingchen as a brother, a friend, and a courtier!

If we don't see each other again, we won't hurt Qingchen again, then he would rather never see each other again!

If, alienation and coldness are the protection of light dust, then he is willing to bear the notoriety of ingratitude!

Light dust and light dust, I know your pride, I know your fame and fortune, if my ruthlessness can be exchanged for your flying dragon in the sky, I will choose to be lonely!

You said that you envy Nalan Mo's unrestrained and carefree life in the rivers and lakes, then, I will let you go! On other days, you are in the rivers and lakes, I am in the temple, I hope you will spread your wings and fly high, only I am tossing and moaning, I can't ask for it, but I have no complaints and no regrets!

××××

That night, the waning moon was like a hook, and the night seemed particularly cold and bleak.

And he just stood outside Jingxiu Palace, quietly staring at the bright candles in the palace.

There are two rare figures of affectionate entanglement, and a faint smile spreads throughout the palace, and everyone is beaming, and everyone is full of joy.

He was the only one, cold and silent.

The cold wind howled, blowing his clothes and hunting, he did not use his skills to resist the invasion of the cold air, his hands and feet were instantly cold, however, his heart was colder, colder!

His eyes, through the heavy lights, shook red, saw the unconcealable joy and shyness of the charming woman, and saw the pride and relief raised on the lips of the beautiful man.

His eyes gradually dimmed, as if he had fallen into darkness, and he didn't know where he was, what night it was!

×××××××××

The sound of the resentful pipa, once, was also a famous Jinghua, how many people spent money but couldn't ask for it, now, the whimpering tune in the quiet night, leisurely transmission, but no one wants to calm down and listen!

The red face is easy to get old, and the original is just a moment of beauty!

In the dim alley, a lonely and lonely figure stood against the wall, his eyes were faint, projected on the cold spring breeze building opposite, where the sound of pipa was like a big bead and a small bead falling on the jade plate.

The music gradually became low, sad and gloomy, and the sound became thinner and thinner, and gradually became inaudible.

The people in the alley walked out slowly, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on his body, which was vaguely visible, it was Fang Qingchen, who was elegant and dusty!

He looked up at Chunfeng Lou, his face did not distinguish between joy and sorrow, he just raised his hand and hugged his fist, and then turned around and left.

Behind him, the pipa sounded again, but it was elegant and ethereal, as if it was cherished.

Fang Qingchen smiled faintly, and in an instant, a cold and murderous look flashed in his eyes.

××××

The five music is played in unison, straight into the sky, and the momentum is amazing.

It seems that God also knows that today is a good day for Yanli to hold the enthronement ceremony, the sky is clear, the wind is beautiful, and the entire Yanjing City is in a carnival "Long live" shouts.

Fang Qingchen was dressed in a formal red official robe, with a solemn and cold face, and walked into the Qiankun Hall.

The hall is full of crimson and purple official robes, and the hall is full of ironclad soldiers, only he wears a red outfit that is elegant, different from the usual green shirts and white clothes, but it is more and more beautiful, handsome and noble, and the demeanor of the son of the family is as bright as the sun and the moon, as if the whole hall is bright because of his abundance, which makes people fall in love at first sight and never forget goodbye.

No one has ever seen Fang Qingchen in an official uniform, such a strange and familiar him, he is still elegant, but there is an indescribable taste, which makes people sluggish for a while.

King Anyi snorted coldly, which stood out in the empty hall, and everyone came back to their senses.

Fang Qingchen didn't squint, ignoring everyone's eyes.

Unexpectedly, the two golden-armored guards came up directly to salute Fang Qingchen, and then said respectfully: "Fang Hou, although in the past, you didn't need to untie your sword when you entered and exited Your Majesty's residence, but today is Your Majesty's enthronement ceremony, except for the palace guards, everyone is not allowed to bring sharp weapons inside." ”

"Do I need to untie my sword too?" Fang Qingchen's voice was low, although it was a plain question, but the two guards couldn't help but feel a cold sweat behind them, as if there was an invisible pressure, the air in front of them was almost evacuated in an instant, making their breathing almost stagnant, and their hearts contracted suddenly, if it weren't for their training, they were afraid that they would be shocked and tremble on the spot.

Trying to restrain the idea of retreating, he took a deep breath and looked at Fang Qingchen with a calm face, but suddenly found that everything was the same as before, the air was fresh, and his breathing was as natural as usual.

Stunned, full of confusion, they couldn't help but glance at each other, and each saw horror and shock on each other's faces.

Just as he was about to reply, Han Xiao had already stepped forward and called in a low voice: "Fang Hou! ”

Seeing that his face was embarrassed and unnatural, Fang Qingchen raised his eyebrows and said with a faint smile: "What?" ”

Han Xiao frowned, hesitated for a moment, and said slowly: "The emperor has a special explanation, everyone is not allowed to carry a sword to the palace, including you, Fang Hou!" ”

Special Confession? Fang Qingchen raised his eyebrows and sneered.

In all dynasties, it is naturally not allowed for courtiers to carry swords to the palace, so why bother to explain it?

The so-called special confession, ha, isn't it just for yourself?

It seems to be a long, long time ago, as if it was a previous life, the beautiful young man smiled innocently and proudly, and handed over the "Chengying" to himself like a treasure, and the clear voice was still vaguely echoing in his ears: "Qingchen, you have to wear Chengying forever, and you can't untie it at any time, this is the first gift I gave you!" If you do it, I'll be angry! ”

"Qingchen, you want to use Chengying to protect me and protect yourself, you know?"

"Qingchen, don't care about those rotten Confucians chewing the root of their tongues, what other etiquette rules do we need to pay attention to?"

"Qingchen, I'm not a king, and you're not a minister, we're brothers who share life and death!"

Yan Li, Yan Li, it turns out that you haven't forgotten that you once said that I could carry a sword to the palace, so remember to give me a special explanation!

Yan Li, your safety has been handed over to others, and you don't need me anymore?

Yan Li, don't you trust me anymore?!

Fang Qingchen smiled faintly, casually untied the "Chengying" sword that never left his body, handed it to Han Xiao, no longer glanced at the famous sword through the ages, and quietly walked into the queue of ministers, as for the ministers who were either happy or surprised or puzzled, he ignored them completely.

After a while, the courteous officer shouted: "Joy! Congratulations to the Emperor! ”

"Worship the heavens! Sacrifice ground! Sacrifice to ghosts and gods! Worship your ancestors! ”

……

Fang Qingchen has been staring at Yan Li intently since he appeared and sat on the throne.

Yan Li's eyes were blurred, his gaze seemed to fall on the extremely distant void, Fang Qingchen's gaze stayed on his face, but he didn't react at all, and he didn't look at him. Obviously, what a grand and solemn ceremony it is to ascend the throne, but he actually has the ability to fugue too empty, his face is expressionless, there is no trace of joy, and he has no domineering spirit that is in the world.

I heard the official shouting: "Your Excellency, stand up, kneel and bow, and congratulate my king on his eternal longevity and boundless hegemony!" ”

The ministers knelt down together, knelt three times and bowed nine times, and stood alone, looking at the emperor high up.

Countless dissatisfied eyes looked over, countless low whispers sounded, Fang Qingchen just smiled and looked at Yan Li, until Yan Li finally came back to his senses and looked back at him quietly.

The eyes of the two finally met, but they were calm and unwavering, never setting off half a wave, nor stirring up a spark.

Yan Li's calm indifference, Fang Qingchen's gentleness and indifference.

As if it was the first time they met, the hateful child had a pair of clear and dusty eyes, and crystal tears were turning around in the eye sockets but were so stubborn that they didn't want to drop.

As if it was the first serious injury, the worried teenager had a pair of bloodshot and tired eyes, and the heavy grief points were in his eyes.

As if it was the first quarrel, the angry young man had a pair of angry but aggrieved eyes, angry, suspicious, jealous, but sad and helpless.

As if it was the first time to be indifferent, the Supreme Son of Heaven was in front of him, but he could no longer see whether his eyes were angry or disgusted? Is it alienating or ruthless?

Wen Jun has two intentions, so he will decide with each other!

Fang Qingchen lowered his head and smiled slightly, respectfully, according to the way of the monarch and minister, he bowed to the arrogant emperor.

A low relaxed voice came from the Manchu Dynasty, Fang Qingchen smiled, and said loudly: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

A trace of desolation flashed in Yan Li's eyes, and he pursed his lips that were barely bloody, but Fang Qingchen lowered his head and never saw it.

A low sigh escaped from Fang Qingchen's throat, but before the sound could reach the air, it had been annihilated between his lips and teeth.

"Xiaorong, maybe you're right, love is never fair!"

×××××

Part of the enthronement scene borrowed from the "Simulation Record of Light Dust (3)" written by Xiaoyu, hehe, a certain one really can't write such a difficult scene, so I have to write Spring and Autumn penmanship, orz......
