"What's out of the ordinary?" Hearing this, the eighth child wiped his sweat and muttered, "This thief is a hot person." ”

"I'll ask you." Zhu Zhen said in a low voice: "Before the exam, those civil officials still have the ability to take the exam, so they should be the target of key monitoring, right?" ”

"Ah......" Lao Ba nodded and said, "Stare at mile." ”

"Did they do anything out of the ordinary?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"No, no." The eighth shook his head and said: "Hey, there are a few people who talk about the government behind their backs and slander their father and sixth brother, and they are all sent to me to the edict prison to enjoy happiness." ”

"They didn't make a small move?" Zhu Zhen couldn't believe it, with the urine nature of those civil officials, they would definitely make an external move.

"I really didn't find it." The eighth smiled bitterly: "If I find out, can I still tell you?" ”

After a pause, he begged the sixth brother: "Sixth brother, I'm really too late, let's talk slowly another day." ”

"Go ahead, come back to me and drink." Zhu Zhen had no choice but to let go of the eighth.

"Okay, when the time comes, I'll bring wine, you prepare food, camel meat is indispensable." The eighth child was like being amnestied, and he left in a hurry after dropping a sentence.

"This old ......" Zhu Zhen looked at his back, shook his head and said speechlessly: "I was in a panic all day long, like a flower thief." ”

Wang Run'er sneered and said softly, "Is there such a arrangement of your own brother?" ”

"Haha, that's a lot." Zhu Zhen smiled and said: "For example, Lao Qi, you can't scold me in your heart 10,000 times a day? ”

While the two were talking and laughing, Jin Lu continued to move forward. Zhu Zhen's brows, which had just stretched, were covered with a haze.

In fact, he was not satisfied with the answer of the eighth child, and he didn't know if this guy was perfunctory to himself, or if he was so perfunctory about the errand itself.

But he couldn't verify it himself, because not only did he ignore Jinyiwei, but he also took the initiative to withdraw all the spies he had planted before from Nanjing.

The reason is very simple, it is taboo for the vassal king to watch in Beijing. You've already gone to the domain, and you're still staring at the wind and grass in the capital, what do you mean?

Once he was noticed by the old thief and the eldest brother, he couldn't tell it at all. Besides, the sixth child really doesn't have any thoughts about Jingli, as long as the eldest brother is there, there will be no major problems. simply took the initiative to avoid suspicion.

As a result, when he returned to Beijing temporarily, he experienced the feeling of being dark under a lamp for a long time. For a prince who has long been accustomed to knowing everything and controlling everything, most of his irritability comes from this.

In this case, it can only be blocked by soldiers, and the water will be covered.

~~

The day after returning home, Zhu Zhen went to Liu Junshi Bridge to visit his teacher.

Liu Bowen is completely bedridden, and Liu Jing has been resigning from his official position at home because of this, taking care of his old father with his son.

"Dad, look who's coming!" Liu Jing said loudly in Liu Ji's ear. He also explained to the sixth child: "Last month, I had another high fever and was almost completely deaf. ”

"Ah......" Liu Bowen turned his head at this time, and when he saw that it was the sixth child, he scolded: "You haven't been here for two months, have you?" You unconscionable rabbit. ”

"Master, didn't I tell you, I have to give the exam questions, and I won't be able to leave the palace for two months." Zhu Zhen said loudly: "It was only released yesterday evening, isn't this coming?" ”

"That's pretty much it." Liu Bowen nodded, and scolded again: "My granddaughter is about to give birth, right?" Why don't you go back to Yunnan? Woo, good granddaughter, grandpa is sorry for you......"

As he spoke, he began to cry again. The older you get, the more you look like a child, and in the end you become like a baby in swaddling clothes. Even if he is half-human and half-immortal Liu Bowen, he can't escape this law.

"It's been a few days," Zhu Zhen hurriedly explained: "I'll leave as soon as the list is released." ”

"If you put the list, you won't be able to leave." Liu Bowen said with a smile.

"How did Master know?" Zhu Zhen was stunned.

"I just know ......," Liu Bowen just laughed.

"My dad is confused in a few words now, and he can't get down to business." Liu Jing sighed and explained: "Yesterday morning, when Liu Xiang entered the examination room and kowtowed to my father, the prince guessed what my father said? ”

"How?"

"Anyway, I can't pass the exam, why do you suffer that crime?" Before Liu Jing could speak, Liu Bowen babbled.

"Look, do you say that about your grandson?" Liu Jing said helplessly: "Even if Liu Xiang's talent is limited, it is not difficult to be a Jinshi." ”

"Senior brother is humble, my brother-in-law's talent is not bad at all, he is hard-working, and he is also among the best in college, and he will definitely be able to get a good ranking." Zhu Zhen said with a smile: "Of course, compared with my master, none of us are intellectually underdeveloped." ”

"No one in your country can pass the exam!" Liu Bowen looked at the ceiling and said with a smile: "...... you can't pass the test"

What he said was conclusive, which made Lao Liu's heart clouded with a haze, but when he asked him the reason, Liu Bowen completely answered what he asked.

"Don't trust my father." Seeing that the prince's face was not good, Liu Jing hurriedly comforted: "He is lying in bed all day long, and no one comes to see him, what can he know?" ”

"I just know." Liu Bowen said angrily.

"Okay, you know." Liu Jing said a perfunctory sentence and asked him: "Eat thin noodles or wide noodles at noon?" ”

"I want to eat wide noodles, a big bowl, with more coriander, I don't eat coriander......" Liu Bowen was distracted.

~~

Liu Jing sent Zhu Zhen out, and both of them didn't look good.

"What do the people from the hospital say?" Zhu Zhen asked in a deep voice.

"It's just that I'm old, and there's no good way." Liu Jing sighed and said, "Actually, it's okay, how decent is my father?" Now I'm eating, drinking, and Lazar in bed, and I can only get on in a daze. ”

"Yes." Zhu Zhen nodded gloomily, even after a few hundred years, medicine has not reached the point of curing all diseases, and the little progress he brought is even more powerless against the vast majority of diseases.

Last year, Wenzhong's cousin died of a stroke. This time, he couldn't change the fate of his master either.

"In fact, my father's health has not been good for more than ten years, and Liu Lian has been worse and worse that year, that is, the prince invited the world's famous doctors and used so many precious medicinal materials to keep hanging his life......"

"But when the manpower is exhausted." He wiped the corners of his eyes and choked up, "We all have to be ready." ”

"Hmm." Zhu Zhen's eyes were also slightly red, he didn't like to say goodbye anymore, but when the day came, he could only accept it.

~~

When Zhu Zhen left the Chengyi Bofu, it began to rain, and the fine rain struck on the stone road, stirring up bursts of earthy smell.

He didn't get into the car, just asked Deng Duo to get an umbrella for himself, and walked across the Liu Junshi Bridge alone with the umbrella.

The summer rain came quickly and soon became heavier. The rain covered the heavens and the earth, and the guards cut off pedestrians, as if he was the only one left in the world.

Zhu Zhen felt extremely lonely, Liu Bowen was not only a teacher for him, but also a companion who knew all his secrets.

Those things, even his princess did not know......

Soon no one in the world will know his secrets anymore. He wasn't going to reveal it to anyone anymore.

He, a lonely expedition to the end of the world, is about to resume walking alone again.

The rain covered his burly figure, and there was only a vast expanse between heaven and earth......
