The fire in the house was blazing, and Liu sat in the hall, just after arranging what the slaves were going to do today, he suddenly remembered that he heard Mu Gui say yesterday that Li Wenjian was not used to Chen Pu's heaviness.

"Hui Niang, I remember that there are still a few boxes of last year's spring tea in the library, you can find them and send them to Yanshan Residence." Liu commanded: "Your Highness likes the sweetness of spring tea. ”

Huiniang is Liu's dowry maid, who has been with her for most of her life, and is Liu's right-hand man, and replied: "Okay, I'll go in a while." ”

Hui Niang stood beside Liu, held her fist in her hand, and gently slapped her back: "What happened to Jing'an Xiaozhu yesterday, did Yanshan Ju say anything?" ”

"It's not a big deal, Your Highness doesn't care." Liu smiled.

Hui Niang breathed a sigh of relief: "Your Highness cares about the world, is generous, and is a saint and gentleman, and he doesn't care about such trivial matters." ”

Liu Shi twisted his eyebrows: "You didn't see that girl yesterday, her face was terrifyingly white, maybe she really had some disease." ”

Hui Niang doesn't talk much on weekdays, but Zhao Yu is indeed a likable girl, diligent and not much, down-to-earth and willing to work, which makes people soft-hearted, and she also rarely helped her say a word: "She has no shelf in the medicine room, and she works quickly and carefully, most of the medicine of the old man these days is handled by her, and she must be tired." ”

Liu said: "When you come out of the East Palace, there is no shelf, but it is rare, you go to see her, if you are really sick, you can ask a doctor to take a look." ”

Hui Niang said yes, and was about to go out, when Liu called her again: "You can send her some of the Rong Ji that Fu'er brought back yesterday, and the children love to eat those fluffy and soft ones when they are sick." ”

"You are the kindest of you." Hui Niang smiled, picked out a few pastries from the table, put them in the food box, and then went to the medicine room.

Zhao Yu got up early in the morning, and she didn't have the habit of going to bed late.

The old man's medicine stove was unavailable, so she went to replace the person who was on duty last night, and saw that the water in the water tank was almost empty, so she carried the bucket to the courtyard. The body was still empty, and he only twisted half a bucket and slowly carried it back to the house.

As soon as she put it down, Hui Niang lifted the curtain and came in from outside.

"Busy early in the morning?" Hui Niang said embarrassedly: "I was negligent yesterday, I didn't know that you were sick." Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit the hospital, and people really couldn't support it, so they were tired of you. I'm sorry. ”

Zhao Yu said softly: "It's that I'm embarrassed, I suddenly feel uncomfortable, and I live up to my trust." ”

Hui Niang saw that her face was a little pale, and asked with concern, "Are you better now?" ”

Zhao Yu smiled and bowed his head: "Thanks to the eldest lady's reward for a piece of medicine, it's almost good." ”

"You haven't eaten so early, have you?" Hui Niang saw that her expression was the same, so she breathed a sigh of relief and handed the food box to Zhao Yu: "There are some pastries here, you can taste them and see if they fit the taste." ”

Zhao Yu bowed his head shyly: "The person in charge is too polite." ”

"Taste it." Hui Niang urged her.

Zhao Yu wiped his hands with the corner of his clothes, pinched a piece of snack and put it in his mouth, tasted it, smiled, and bent his eyes into crescents.

It is her favorite Rongji chestnut cake.

Rong Ji is a very famous dim sum shop in the capital, and if Bai Yu goes out of the palace on an errand, he will almost always bring some to her.

"It's delicious."

Hui Niang smiled: "It was brought back by the eldest girl of our family yesterday, and the girls in the house like it, and the eldest lady asked me to send some over for you to taste." ”

Zhao Yu lowered his eyes and said: "Madame is benevolent, she has bothered for me, please thank Madame on my behalf." ”

An's family is worthy of being handed down to the world, and the housewife is so comprehensive, even a small palace maid takes care of her. It is not for nothing that the Central Plains is in turmoil, countless big families are scattered, and the An family stands tall in the torrent.

After Hui Niang left, Zhao Yu put the medicine that An Guogong was going to use after breakfast into the medicine jar. Everything is ready, so you won't have to rush it later.

Ready for everything, she walked to the table and sat down, her eyes falling on the chestnut crisp sent by Hui Niang.

Yesterday, Yunfeng gave her two candied fruits.

After thinking about it, she decided to give back the chestnut crisp to Yunfeng.

Zhao Yu has been in the palace for so many years, but she doesn't know much about the world, but her grandmother taught her since she was a child that if you want to live frankly, you can't owe people anything. Although she is humble and poor, she still has her pride in her bones, and she is favored by others.

After making up his mind, Zhao Yu wrapped the chestnut crisp with a clean handkerchief, and went out to find Yun Feng.

She deliberately avoided Li Wenjian and deliberately circled Yanshan Lake, but she still vaguely heard Li Wenjian's voice behind a rockery by the lake.

He seemed to be instructing the people walking side by side: "Ye Taifu is an old minister of the Three Dynasties, well-informed, if you have any doubts, you should ask more questions and learn more, and you must not be complacent for the sake of face." ”

Zhao Yu felt a sigh in his heart, resisted the urge to run, and the hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched tightly, and his bones turned white.

I can't help but speed up my pace.

Li Wenjian was in the high pavilion, looking at her extremely much, and saw her figure leaving in a hurry.

He frowned.

At that time, the sky was white, and the whitish morning light peeked down from the side of the half-branch old window.

He was knocked unconscious by a sullen bottle, and when he was in a haze, he saw her flee like hell.

Sensing the distraction of the people around him, An Xu subconsciously followed his gaze, only to see the robe flying in the corner of the trail.

"Your Highness?" Anxu's opening.

Li Wenjian retracted his thoughts, looked at the calm lake in the distance in silence, and after a while, he said, "Let's go, Ah Weng should get up." ”

Lao Guogong is in good spirits today, and Li Wenjian and An Xuzhi came to accompany him, so he was naturally even more happy.

On weekdays, he mostly rests in bed, but today he wants to go out and bask in the sun while the weather is good. Li Wenjian ordered someone to send a wheelchair and personally pushed him for a walk by the lake. When Lao Guogong was young, he traveled all over the world, and when he was a child, Li Wenjian liked to listen to him talk about the old news of his travels. Today, he told the thrilling story of his journey to the north and being captured by the invading Rong people.

I've listened to it twenty or thirty times.

Today, the old prince did not talk about how he outwitted the barbarians and escaped as usual, he lowered his eyelids, and his eyes dimmed for a moment: "Zi Ren often said that when he grows up, he will definitely kill all the Rong Kou for Ah Weng." ”

Ziren is Li Wenjian's half-brother and one of his followers.

"Lang'er." The old man suddenly turned his head: "Let Ziren come back, I'm afraid I won't have a few years to live, before I die, I want to look at him again." ”

Li Wenjian looked at Shang Ah Weng pleadingly.

This illness made Ah Weng a little older, his temples were two stacks of gray, his slightly frowning eyebrows were full of worry, his eyes were cloudy, and he looked at Li Wenjian longingly, looking dignified and deep.

For the first time, the arrogant Ah Weng spoke to him in a weak tone.

Li Wenjian looked at him silently, the sorrow in his eyes seemed to be difficult to dissolve, and he was about to speak, when the old man patted the back of his hand lightly and sighed: "You must cherish the person in front of you." ”

Li Wenjian was silent for a long time, and finally did not nod or shake his head.

Ah Weng suddenly mentioned Ziren, which caught Li Wenjian off guard and remembered many things from the past.

Unpleasant things.

Back at Yanshan Residence, he stood by the window and pushed open the carved window lattice, which was the Yanshan Lake surrounded by cold smoke. After the snow, the surface of the lake is paved with sparkling golden light, and there is no ethereal atmosphere of deep winter.

He was born and raised in Si, and he moved to the palace after his grandfather was honored with the Nine Treasures.

Now looking at the extremely familiar lake, many memories that he deliberately forgot are inexplicably evoked.

In the summer, he likes to practice martial arts and memorize books by the lake, and in the afternoon he plays the piano and chess in the Jing'an Pavilion......

And it was Wei Zhan who accompanied him to practice martial arts, endorse, play the piano, and play chess.

His only best friend in life.

Wei Zhan, the third son of the Wei family, is the most dazzling general in the entire capital.

At the age of fourteen, he led the troops to battle, and at a young age, he made great achievements, going down to the south of the Yangtze River, going to the north of Xinjiang, fixing the rivers and mountains, and garrisoning the border.

It is as bright as the moon hanging high for nine days.

Four years ago, in the second year of Li Wenjian's auxiliary administration, he decided to send troops to the Rong people, who were eyeing each other.

At that time, this decision was a risky and difficult decision for Dongli, who had just established the country, and there was opposition from top to bottom, and almost no one supported him.

At this time, Wei Zhan stood up, made a military order, and took over the handsome seal of the Northern Expedition.

Wei Zhan was not only his best friend, but also his good general, and the last words he said before leaving in high spirits were-

Your Highness, the Rong clan will not be broken, and Wei Zhan will not return.

Later, he drove 500 miles, but he himself was wrapped in horse leather and never returned.

Ziren liked to dance with knives and guns since he was a child, but he only heard his father and Wei Zhan talk about the wind and dust on the battlefield, and he never really went to the battlefield.

When Wei Zhan went to the north, he begged Li Wenjian to allow him to go on the expedition with Wei Zhan on the grounds that Wei Zhan had led the army at the age of fourteen.

Li Wen simply agreed, but he also killed Wei Zhan because of it.

The young general was sharp, and after only half a year of going to the north, he drove the Rong people out of the east fence for 500 miles, and fled into the hinterland of the Wutu grassland like a lost dog, and returned with a great victory.

On the way to the triumph of the army, they camped outside Wusi City, and Ziren quietly disguised himself into Wusi City to play.

As a result, he was captured by the counterattacking Rong stragglers.

The Rong clan knew his identity and deliberately hung him outside the big tent to lure Wei Zhan to the rescue.

Wei Zhan was fooled.

It is not so much that he was deceived, but that he knew that he was dead, but still went to die.

Because Ziren was entrusted to him by himself.

He went anyway.

He rescued Ziren, but he was hit by several arrows and died of blood.

Wei Zhan was buried in northern Xinjiang.

Li Wenjian sealed Ziren as the generalissimo of the expedition to Peking University and asked him to guard the northern frontier.

But he never had any decree that he should not be allowed to return to Beijing.

It was he who did not want to go back.

Li Wenjian is naturally not a sad person, but now looking at the old residence and recalling the precious youth, he is just stunned.

He walked to the front of the case, licked the ink with the help of the pen, and dropped the pen without contemplation.

- Ah Weng is seriously ill and returns quickly.

There are only six words, and the pen is written in a moment.

"Flying Feathers." He called.

The guard named Feiyu walked into the house, and Li Wenjian sealed the dry envelope and handed it to him: "Send it to Yanyun Prefecture quickly." ”

Watching Fei Yu leave with the letter in his hand, he closed the window, sat back in front of the desk, and opened the codex that he had read half of the morning.

When Mu Gui came in, he looked at Li Wenjian's upright figure under the light of a bean, and hesitated for a moment to walk up to him to pray.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liang said that the medicine in that wine is jade tongue."

Li Wenjian turned the page of the book in his hand expressionlessly: "The jade tongue is a forbidden item. ”

The jade tongue is colorless and tasteless, the medicinal effect is extremely strong, and its stamens can make people lose their minds, like a beast. If the dosage is mastered, it can be used for intercourse and pleasure, and the effect is very good. After His Majesty came to power, he thought that this thing was too vicious, and it was forbidden to raise and sell it, how did it flow into Ouchi?

"Your Highness still remembers Jiang Jin, when his subordinates raided his house, they found a few jade tongues in his courtyard."

Jiang Jin.

He personally eradicated a great traitor.

"He kept the jade tongue privately, and he was able to enter and leave the palace freely, presumably the jade tongue was brought into the palace at that time." Shepherd's return.

Li Wenjian never raised his eyes, and his tone was casual: "It's been more than two months, and the person who poisoned you hasn't been found yet, are you here to talk to Gu about your conjecture?" ”

Mu Gui glanced at Li Wenjian's face and added, "Miss Zhaoyu used to be in Jiang Jin's mansion. ”

The pages were still on the table, making a slight noise.

Li Wenjian finally raised his eyes and looked at Mu Gui's appearance.

Mu Gui was so panicked that he could only bite the bullet and say: "Mrs. Chen gave her to Jiang Jin at the Huanyi Office." ”

Jiang Jinyin, the former secretary of the palace, is vicious, although he is a eunuch, he is not dead in lust, and he likes to collect all kinds of beauties.

He has no "Huigen", his desire is still there, but he can't vent like a normal man.

He had many ways to vent his desires, and those beauties fell into his hands, and they were all humiliated, and they died tragically on his bed.
