The gazebo has a calm lake on one side and a jungle as far as the eye can see on the other. A gentle breeze came from the lake, blowing the thin white curtains around the gazebo. In the pavilion, Yu also sat upright, while Shen Mushu sat loosely. It was very quiet, except for the sound of boiling water in the kettle.

Shen Mushu made a cup of tea for Yu Yi, smiled and said, "I fried it myself." Yu Yiwu pointed to the light table of thanks to him.

The smell of tea and books permeated the entire pavilion, and this smell could also calm Yu Yi's mind, and Yu Yi raised the teacup to his nose to smell the tea.

Shen Mushu took a sip and said casually: "His Royal Highness King Lin is ready?" ”

Yu was also stunned by the sudden question.

Although the Unified Investigation Office was supported by Emperor An, its duty was to supervise all officials in the imperial capital. No matter where there are interpersonal interactions, there will inevitably be interests, and interests are naturally visible to people and unseeable, if the unified investigation government allows those unseen interests to be illuminated, it is to infringe on the interests of some people, then there will naturally be trouble. How could Yu not understand the truth.

Yu Yi put down the teacup after coming back to his senses, and his tone was a little serious: "Naturally." ”

Shen Mushu nodded and drank the tea in the cup: "Although the prince is sensible and sophisticated, he is too playful and can't help you in the court." If you need help, you can come to the Taishifu to find me. ”

Yu Yi looked at the old man in front of him, it seemed that Wenwen was weak and weak, but when he looked deeper, he always felt that there was an invisible force to support him. Confident and not arrogant, the kind face with a little not angry and arrogant, makes people a little awe-inspiring.

Seeing that Yu Yi didn't speak, Shen Mushu smiled and took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it in front of Yu Yi. Seeing that the expression of the jade pendant has finally changed, the jade pendant in front of him is very simple, the oval jade pendant is hollowed out on one side to depict the appearance of the dragon, and on the other side is a pattern that has never been seen in the world, and the middle is engraved with a neat regular script with the word 'Yu'.

Yu also remembered that his father had told him that there were three of these jade pendants on the person he trusted the most. He only knew that Emperor An had one in his hand, and he didn't know anything about the rest, so how could he not be surprised to see the second one today. Yu Yi looked at Yu Pei for a long time and didn't speak, and then raised his head, the old man in front of him was still smiling and stroking his goatee.

......

In the Linwang Mansion, Bai Jiangyi finally finished the apology gift to give Yu Yi. Looking at his work, Bai Jiangyi was very satisfied, the human-shaped wooden stake in front of him had just finished brushing tung oil, and was drying in the yard at this time, and several places on Bai Jiangyi's face were also blackened by tung oil.

Ah Ruan also came to Bai Jiangyi's side with a basin, and looked at the princess Ah Ruan, whose face was full of tung oil, also had an unconscious expression: "Miss, wipe it quickly, it's not good to be seen by His Royal Highness." ”

Bai Jiangyi looked up at the sun and said, "It's just past noon, don't panic, I'll clean it when the tung oil is dry." Ah Ruan, you put down the basin and go and help me fetch a bucket of water. ”

Ah Ruan was about to speak when Bai Jiangyi glared at him: "Go quickly, go quickly." Looking at his own young lady, Ah Ruan sighed, but still put down the basin in his hand to fetch water.

Bai Jiangyi also went up and touched the stake to make sure that the tung oil was dried, and then ran to the side to take off his shoes and socks, although it was noon, but the ground was still a little cold, Bai Jiangyi trotted a few steps on the spot to let his feet adapt to the temperature, and then returned to the stake with his skirt.

After soaking the towel, Bai Jiangyi wiped it intently on the stake, humming a little song while wiping it, thinking about Yu Yi's expression when he saw the humanoid stake. Thinking about it, I don't know if I thought of happiness or what, Bai Jiangyi picked up the basin on the ground and splashed the water in the basin on the stake. Seeing the clear water dripping on the wooden stake, Bai Jiangyi was very satisfied, and looked at his feet to find that Ah Ruan had not come back when he went to fetch water. Before Bai Jiangyi turned around and could shout, he felt that he was being picked up and then held in his arms.

When he came back to his senses, Bai Jiangyi saw clearly that it was Yu Yi, who was holding him, but his expression looked angry.

Bai Jiangyi's voice was a little soft: "Your Highness, I..."

Yu Yi frowned and walked quickly to the bedroom: "Don't speak." ”

Bai Jiangyi knew that Yu Yi was angry, so he was obediently hugged by him and didn't speak again. Until Yu Yi put her on the bed in the bedroom. After Yu Yi put her down, he turned around and left, Bai Jiangyi saw that the situation was not good, and was about to speak, Yu Yi turned around again and took the first step: "Don't move." With that, he walked out of the bedroom quickly.

Looking at Yu Yi, who left in a hurry, Bai Jiangyi was a little distracted. There is a lot in my heart, not that I am afraid of being scolded, but that Yu Yi does not like the gifts he makes. I wanted to go to him but he asked him not to move, would it make him even angrier to go to him at this time. Thinking of this, Bai Jiangyi sighed, a little distressed. Yu Yi walked back to the bedroom, still holding a basin in his hand, his expression was still angry, but the water in the basin was steaming.

Yu also put the basin at Bai Jiangyi's feet and soaked the towel on his arm and squeezed it dry. Then he gently lifted Bai Jiangyi's feet, and Yu Yi put the back of his hand on the soles of Bai Jiangyi's feet to test the temperature. Bai Jiangyi was a little afraid of itching, so he shrank his foot to his side, but was pulled back to his original position by Yu Yi.

Yu Yi gently wiped Bai Jiangyi's feet with a hot towel, and Bai Jiangyi also endured the itch and let the person in front of him wipe it. After wiping one foot clean, Yu Yi spoke: "Try to see if it's hot." ”

Bai Jiangyi nodded obediently and tested the water temperature with his feet. After feeling that the temperature was just right, he put his foot down, and Yu Yi saw this before he began to wipe his other foot: "The weather is so cold, and I am running around outside barefoot." ”

Bai Jiangyi didn't answer, but asked, "What did you do?" ”

At this time, Yu Yi also wiped his other foot clean, and Bai Jiangyi also put it in. Yu Yi stood up again and said, "It's not a good habit for women to like wine. So I went out of town and got you a few bottles of fruit wine. ”

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Bai Jiangyi was ready to apologize, but when Yu Yi finished the second half of the sentence, Bai Jiangyi swallowed his apology back into his stomach.

Yu Yi looked at Bai Jiangyi's incredulous expression and was stunned, and also guessed what she was thinking. So he also smiled and sat next to Bai Jiangyi: "I won't let you do what you like." If you want to drink, drink the fruit wine I have found for you, and it will not be strong. I was angry just now because it was so cold, but you were standing barefoot on the ground, if you were infected with the wind cold......" Yu Yi paused.

"I'm going to feel distressed."

Bai Jiangyi didn't speak, his heart was warm. Their feet rubbed against each other in the hot water, causing a few splashes.

Yu Yi looked at Bai Jiangyi's eyes very gently, without the demeanor of the Guanbei God of War at all. Bai Jiangyi also took his eyes off the basin, and twisted his head back when he saw Yu Yi looking at himself. For some reason, my heart was still a little nervous, but the smile on my face could no longer be suppressed: "Look at what I do." ”

Yu Yi smiled and said, "I like it very much." ”

Hearing the sudden confession, Bai Jiangyi was startled, and his heartbeat became faster and faster. In this second, I went through countless ways to answer, but I was rejected by myself. I didn't know what to say, so I fell apart.

"I..."

Yu Yi looked at Bai Jiangyi's overwhelmed appearance and continued: "I said, I like the humanoid pile very much. ”

When Bai Jiangyi heard this, he immediately turned his head to look at Yu Yi, and the man in front of him smiled happily. Looking at this scene, Bai Jiangyi suddenly felt that the guy in front of him seemed to be really stupid, and a nameless fire rose in his heart, but he had nowhere to vent, so he stepped on the basin suddenly. Water splashes.

Yu Yi was still messing around with Bai Jiangyi, allowing the water to splash on him. waited until Bai Jiangyi finished making a fuss before continuing: "Tomorrow, the dowry will be sent to Baifu, and the Ministry of Rites will also follow you to measure the wedding dress for you." ”

Bai Jiangyi's mood had just calmed down again, his feet shook wildly in mid-air a few times, and after shaking off the water a little, he sat cross-legged on the bed: "It's so fast." ”

Yu Yi nodded, handed the dry towel to Bai Jiangyi, and then stood up: "The dowry will be sent directly to the Bai Mansion, and I will let them come to the palace in the Ministry of Rites." I don't really want to send you back to that home. ”

When Yu Yi said this, he didn't look back, just quietly looked at the place where the sun shone in at the door, and the dust was obviously flying wantonly under the sunlight. And Bai Jiangyi listened quietly like this, quietly looking at the back of the man in front of him. She didn't know if this was Yu Yi's confession, but she still blushed slightly and hummed obediently.

What Bai Jiangyi didn't know was that Yu Yi's heart was beating fast when he said this, and even when he heard Bai Jiangyi's reply, even if it was simple, Yu Yi was greatly relieved. After that, he didn't know what to say, and walked out of Bai Jiangyi's bedroom quickly.

The human-shaped stakes in the yard are now all dry. Yu Yi stepped forward and looked at the wooden stake in front of him, this wooden stake was different from any of the previous ones, the wooden stake in front of him was divided into three sections by Bai Jiangyi, and it could be rotated, and after hitting it, it could rotate with the force, and the user could use it to practice reaction speed. Although this didn't have much effect on Yu Yi, Bai Jiangyi's intention made Yu Yi very happy.

Looking at the humanoid pile that was shining in front of him, Yu Yi stepped forward and patted it like a brother on the shoulder, and then walked out of the palace and got into the carriage and headed towards the palace.

There is a tavern in the city called Zuixianlou, the dishes of Zuixianlou are famous in the entire imperial capital, and the drunken immortal brew of Zuixianlou is even more famous in Qingyang. Therefore, the price is also far higher than other taverns, and over time, the drunken immortal building has become a place for the court's officials and the wealthy of the capital to feast on VIPs.

At this time, the dining table in a private room in the Drunken Immortal Building was full of delicacies and immortal wine, but Liu Wenzhong, the founding prime minister of the country, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, bowed to the door. It didn't take long for the box door to be opened, and Liu Wenzhong also raised his head slightly. Walking in was a man dressed in a wolf-patterned black robe, with the word thunder engraved on the gold-inlaid jade pendant hanging from his waist. Liu Wenzhong never dared to raise his head to see the face of the comer.

Liu Wenzhong also changed direction with the man's footsteps, keeping his head towards him, and the black-robed man sat straight on the main seat, poured a glass of wine and said, "I can't stand Liu Xiang's kneeling." ”

The black-robed man's voice was very low, like a roaring lion, and as soon as the man's voice fell, a cold sweat broke out on Liu Wenzhong's forehead. After a long time, Liu Wenzhong spoke: "Trouble the Lord to send a message to the lord, the emperor has changed things and can't come out for the time being." ”

After Liu Wenzhong finished speaking, he heard the black-robed man on the table slam the wine glass on the table: "Liu Xiang, don't forget who helped you sit in your current position, and don't forget that even if you are the prime minister, if you want to take your life, it will be like killing an ant." You weren't the only ones who knew the truth about Kanbei back then. ”

Hearing this, Liu Wenzhong lowered his head again, and the sweat left behind also flowed backwards: "The grace of the lord's cultivation is unforgettable, but now that Yu Jianye's son has returned to the capital to start the affairs of the government, I am afraid that the business of the capital will not be good in the future." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't hear a reply for a long time, Liu Wenzhong raised his head and wanted to take a look, but the black-robed man lowered his head in fright as soon as he spoke.

"I could kill the old ones back then, and now I can kill the little ones."

Liu Wenzhong immediately nodded violently: "Yes, yes, yes." ”

The black-robed man stood up and put a plate of meat in front of Liu Wenzhong: "Although the business of the imperial capital is a small part, it cannot be broken. If you want to get rid of someone, you have to let him find out, and you should be clear about what the consequences are. ”

Liu Wenzhong glanced at the meat in front of him, closed his eyes and lowered his head: "Understood." ”

The black-robed man slapped Liu Wenzhong's face as soon as he said it, and paused word by word: "I hope you really understand." ”

After finishing speaking, there was no sound, and when Liu Wenzhong opened his eyes and looked up, there was no trace of the black-robed man in the room. Liu Wenzhong stood up and bent down again, picked up the meat on the ground, put it on the table, and stared at it for a long time. Scenes of the past flashed through my mind.

It was a very cold winter, and Liu Wenzhong was just a child who was used to petty theft, until he was caught and beaten. Liu Wenzhong, who was wearing only a patched dress, lay in the snow and waited quietly for death, but his eyes that were about to close were reopened by the smell of meat. What catches your eye is a plate of stew and a black robe. Since then, he has been fed, clothed, prosperous, and rich to this day, but in those memories, he has never dared to look up at that person.

Thinking of this, Liu Wenzhong poured a glass of wine, put it in front of the plate of meat, and left.

In the imperial study, Yu also reported to Emperor An that Yuwen disciples were pretending to be the envoys of the Northern Khan. After listening to this, Emperor An, who was practicing calligraphy, couldn't help but tremble with the hand holding the brush: "What a big guts!" ”

Seeing this, Yu Yi took out the sandalwood box that Yuwentu gave him from his arms, and Gonggong Li has always reacted very quickly, and this time is the same.

Seeing that Gonggong Li had taken the box, Yu Yi continued: "Yuwen disciples did not hesitate to bear the crime of bullying the monarch and came to the imperial capital just for this thing. ”

Andy took the sandalwood box and opened it. Inside is the normal sandalwood, the only difference is that the sandalwood is stained with countless red particles. An Di was a little puzzled and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Yu also said: "This thing is called gentle incense, the appearance is no different from ordinary sandalwood, but I don't know what is added to it, this incense can bring people to sleep after being lit, and complete what they want in their dreams." ”
