Chapter 111: Dead Wood Meets Spring
Yandu, East Palace.
Shen Yan was reprimanded by Yin Beichen yesterday, and now he knelt on the white marble in the East Palace, trembling in his heart.
The prince looked at the fold again, and his eyes skimmed over Shen Yan lightly, "The Su Xunji you found?" ”
Shen Yan's fingers trembled slightly, "Yes." Wechen was ordered to investigate, and had to find all the people involved in detail. ”
There was no emotion on the prince's face, "You have always been rigorous, and you have the demeanor of Yin Ge Lao." ”
The unhurried words were like a drum beat, falling on Shen Yan's heart one by one, "Your Highness's false praise, how can Weichen be compared with Yin Ge Lao." ”
The crown prince finally asked what Shen Yan was most worried about, "Why don't you take him into custody when you find it?" Instead, it was handed over to Xie Songzhao. He went south to enjoy the mountains and rivers, and there were not many people around him, if this Su Xunji got away, who was this? ”
Shen Yan hurriedly defended, "Weichen didn't hand it over to Marquis Xie, but because Su Xunji married Marquis Xie, she was nominally Mrs. Yongzhaohou, so Weichen didn't dare to be special." ”
The prince's gaze fell on him, "When did he have a wife?" ”
Shen Yan was about to speak, but Yin Beichen finally stood up, "Your Highness, Weichen has a way to solve this difficulty." ”
The prince didn't answer, and a little sweat appeared on Shen Yan's forehead.
Yin Beichen said calmly: "Your Highness, Su Nanchen has lost his conscience, the crime cannot be punished, and the daughter of the Su family is not worthy of being the wife of Marquis Yongzhao, but if she is made a concubine, she will be imprisoned in the backyard, and she will not be allowed to come out without an edict, which can also be a great gift." ”
The prince's index finger tapped lightly, "Concubine? ”
Yin Beichen bowed down and said: "Weichen thinks that His Royal Highness has always been kind, and Marquis Xie has always valued friendship, so he said this. speculated that the intention was that the minister had exceeded the rules, and asked His Highness to punish him. ”
The crown prince brushed the fold aside, "Shen Yan Guiyang County has done a good job, this palace wants to make you the governor of Jingxiang Nine Counties, but I am afraid that I will not be able to convince the public, you will follow Yin Ge to learn from the elders." ”
Shen Yanru was pardoned, "Your Highness Xie." ”
The prince looked at Yin Beichen and said, "Old Yin Ge stays." ”
Shen Yan's steps when he walked out were all vain, what is "silent is better than sound", the prince is this time, and Shen Yan is dizzy. Why did he forget that the prince's Su Zhaoxun was also Su Nanchen's daughter, and now it is not Xie Songzhao who is difficult to do, but the prince......
Yin Beichen bowed, "Your Highness." ”
The prince said softly: "The closed disciple of the old Yin Pavilion is really different from others. ”
Yin Beichen knelt down and kowtowed, "Weichen doesn't dare." Your Highness, this is the knife that Marquis Xie gave you. ”
The prince pinched the pen and said, "If it weren't for that, Elder Ge felt that the palace would gently put down Shen Yan?" ”
Yin Beichen could clearly feel that the prince was different from before, his mood was invisible, and there was something else...... is quietly sprouting.
The prince got up, walked in front of Yin Beichen, and handed him the decree, Yin Beichen took it for some reason, his eyes were round, and the folds at the corners of his eyes were stretched.
Yin Beichen held the decree in both hands and kowtowed, his voice hoarse, "Your Highness! Cannot! ”
The prince leaned over slightly, "Elder Ge, it's really not, now and in the future, it's impossible." ”
Yin Beichen kowtowed repeatedly, "Your Highness, the Lord of Shenyue County has already promised the Xie family, and you must not give the Xie family a strong wife." ”
The crown prince took the decree back, "Xie family...... I don't know how the Xie family is in this palace, but Xie Songzhao is the cousin of this palace, and his heart is best known to this palace. ”
Yin Beichen was tired of talking about this matter, but the prince never seemed to want to be a real saint.
The crown prince sat back in the circle chair, "Elder Ge doesn't need to say it anymore, how many years has this palace still said this, this palace believes in Xie Songzhao." Shen Yan's matter, the palace will not pursue it again, but it has to ask the pavilion elder to teach Shen Yan more, and do things in the future and be calmer. ”
Yin Beichen kowtowed, "Yes, Weichen commands." ”
Wan Shen brought a bowl of mung bean soup, "Your Highness, this is sent by Qi Liangdi personally, saying that it is a scorching summer in June, and it is for you to relieve the heat." ”
The crown prince bowed his head and said, "Let her in." ”
Wan Shen bowed and stepped back, "Yes." ”
These days in the palace have gradually smoothed out Qi Shuying's girlish heart, and gradually calmed down, "The concubine meets His Highness, His Highness is a thousand years old." ”
The prince put down the bowl and said, "Get up." Sit. What happened to the queen mother? ”
Qi Shuying bowed his head and said, "Your Highness Xie." The queen mother's body is still the same, and Zhuang Chenghui is very popular with the queen mother. ”
The prince thought for a while and said: "It's hard to serve the sick, and I will be promoted to a good wife, but now the queen mother is seriously ill, and it is not appropriate to do a big job, you can watch it." ”
Qi Shuying bowed slightly, "Yes, the concubine understands." The concubine came to see His Royal Highness for Su Zhaoxun's matter. ”
The prince took the pen in his hand, stared at her and said, "Tell me about it." ”
Qi Shuying lowered her eyes and said: "Your Highness, Su Zhaoxun is the daughter of a criminal minister, and she really shouldn't continue to stay in the palace, but Su Zhaoxun has not made a big mistake since he entered the palace, I don't know how His Highness will arrange it, can I inform the concubine." ”
The prince said quietly: "Su Xunji is the concubine of Marquis Yongzhao. How should this palace deal with Su Xingzhi in order to appear benevolent? ”
Qi Shuying's palms sweated slightly, "Su Zhaoxun faced His Highness shamelessly and committed suicide." This ......"
The prince said: "It is a big crime to commit suicide in the palace. ”
Qi Shuying knelt down with a plop, "Please punish Your Highness, it's the concubine who didn't think it through." I don't know if the method of living in a cold palace is feasible? ”
The crown prince looked at her with interest, "Prisoner of the Cold Palace? ”
Qi Shuying pinched the tiger's mouth, "Yes, the cold palace of the secluded prisoner." Su Zhaoxun is the daughter of a criminal minister, and being able to live is already the greatest gift. ”
The silent time fell to the ground like burnt incense ashes, and Qi Shuying blinked her eyes slowly, next to this piercing gaze.
"That's very good, you can do it."
Qi Shuying seemed to have never heard such wonderful words, "Your Highness Xie! ”
The prince looked at her tearful eyes, watched her thoughtful salute, watched her leave, and suddenly wanted to find someone to talk to, to talk about how similar Qi Shuying and him were, subtle and introverted, just want to protect his friend.
But he looked at the huge study, all of them were women with low bows, and suddenly his eyes were sore, and he gently touched the tip of his nose, "Just retreat." ”
Gyeyang-gun.
Gu Mingchao looked at the letter and sneered, "What kind of nonsense is this, let you take care of it!" ”
Xie Songzhao sighed: "The letter asked me to go back, you said that you don't think about my body, this letter said that I should be raised here, and you said that people are talking nonsense, Ming Dynasty, what can be as you want." ”
Gu Mingchao was stunned for a moment, his ears were slightly red, and he said dryly: "It's not right, you should be allowed to go directly to Jiangzuo to recuperate." ”
Xie Songzhao picked up the book and gently tapped his head, "Why don't you go back and let the imperial doctor take a look?" ”
Gu Mingchao's ears were red, and he gave up struggling and said, "These answers are not right. ”
Xie Songzhao helplessly explained to him: "Because you have already judged them in your heart, they are not right, and what they do is ill-intentioned." ”
Gu Mingming's hand snatching the book paused in mid-air, "No......"
Xie Songzhao put the book in his hand, "Think about it again." ”
The bright full moon sank twice and became the last quarter moon. Like hooks, the shadows of the chess pieces on the chessboard were pulled up extremely high, and the lights crackled and danced, and it was half the night.
"Childe, letter to you......" Yoda tumbled down the wall.
Gu Mingchao looked at the envelope, and then at Xie Songzhao who was wrapped in a fox fur, Xie Songzhao put down the chess pieces funny, "Look at your letter, you see what I do." ”
Gu Mingchao opened the letter and asked casually, "Who sent it?" ”
Yoda breathed a sigh of relief, "No, I don't know, my subordinates chased out three streets, but they didn't catch ......."
The more Gu Mingchao looked at his body, the more he sat straight, the more he looked at it, the more incredible it became, he turned over the paper and looked at it again and again, "Xie Songzhao, look at it." ”
Xie Songzhao sat up straight curiously, "What?" ”
Gu Mingchao moved his body and sat beside him, "Look, this is simply ......"
Xie Songzhao spread the letter on the chessboard, holding his breath in his heart, "I can't tell the truth from the false, do you want to go back?" ”
Gu Mingchao stared at the letter and said, "I don't know." ”
Xie Songzhao folded the letter and handed it to Gu Mingchao, "I have taken you as an apprentice all these years, and I have never given you anything, if you want to go back to see, I will find a way to send you back." ”
Gu Mingchao looked at him blankly, "I'm a proton...... I'm going back, what are you going to do? ”
Xie Songzhao touched his head, "Master can still do this." ”
Gu Mingchao was still sober, "What I'm saying is that now that our reputation has spread, Yan won't let the tiger return to the mountain, if I go, you will ......"
"No, it won't." Xie Songzhao gently interrupted him, "Master has done so many things for the prince, and the prince knows in his heart that he won't do anything to me." ”
What else did Gu Mingchao say, Xie Song looked at Wanyue and said: "It's you, you have to be very careful when you go back, the situation in Chen Guo is clear, 'Wen follows Yang Yunkuo, Wu chases Gu Changkan' This is not for fun." ”
Gu Mingchao lowered his head, "Xie Songzhao, if you could have lied to me two years ago, ...... now"
The slightly hot wind blew at night, but Xie Songzhao couldn't help but shiver, and pulled the fox fur, "It's too cold, I'm going back to the room, think about it again, think about whether you want to go back, go if you want, while the master is still ......"
The last half of the sentence was blown into the cracks of the dead wood by the wind, Gu Mingchao pinched the corner of the letter and rubbed it back and forth, "Do you want to ...... Where is this the question of whether you want to go back or not......"
Gu Mingchao knew that the crown prince was very guilty about Xie Songzhao now, and he would definitely try his best to compensate him, but if he was sent back to Linzi...... It's all going to fall apart......
Yin Beichen was originally afraid of Xie Songzhao's existence, if Xie Songzhao had the audacity to send him back, it would not be a fear, it would be a quick removal.
The golden crow broke free from its confinement and rushed to the sky, and the cold moon still hanging in the western corner of the sky was forced to push home.
Xie Songzhao pushed open the door and stretched, and with a glance of his eyes, he looked at Gu Mingchao, who was still sitting in the pavilion, and sighed softly, "Gu Mingchao." ”
Gu Mingchao was still sitting in the pavilion with his head drooping and thinking, Xie Songzhao stood behind him, "Ming Dynasty." ”
"Huh? Yes! How did you get out? Gu Mingchao jumped out of the distance, and hurriedly ran back, "It's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”
Xie Songzhao: ......
Xie Song sat down with the fox fur in his hands, "What are you sleeping in the morning, it's a quarter of a minute." ”
Gu Mingchao touched his head and looked at the increasingly dazzling sunlight in the east, "It turns out that it's been a night......
Xie Songzhao took a sip of tea and said, "Yoda, go back and rest, it shouldn't be worth it today." ”
Gu Mingchao looked sideways at Yoda under the pavilion, "Why are you still here?" ”
Yoda: ???
Xie Songzhao almost squirted out the tea in his mouth, "He's not here, so... Where does he go? ”
Gu Mingchao also felt that his head was not very bright, and he asked nonsense, "...... Go rest and eat more. ”
Xie Songzhao poured him tea funny, "Come on, come on, take a sip of tea, and sober up." ”
Gu Mingchao took a sip, and sure enough, he was sober, "This is last night's old tea, you can't drink it, I'll go change the pot." ”
Xie Songzhao felt that he had been sighing for the past two days, "Ming Dynasty, sit down first, let's talk about the letter from Linzi first." ”
Gu Mingchao said softly: "I'm not going back, I figured it out." ”
Xie Songzhao couldn't help but sigh again: "The problems you are worried about can be solved, I'll tell you." ”
Gu Mingchao's eyes lit up.
