Zhao Pu hugged Fang Linyuan and felt Fang Linyuan's hand on his shoulder.

"That's good." Fang Linyuan hugged him back and said.

He had already heard about it when he was in the Yuntai Hall today.

Zhao Pu went to Chongde Hall in Zhai clothes early this morning, still as his fifth princess.

Fang Linyuan was very happy for him.

He knew that this move was not only for his mother's injustice, but also for his father's evil act, and more importantly, it was Zhao Pu's reconciliation with him that had been dormant for many years.

He didn't care, he didn't use it as a shackle, but instead wore it as armor to fight against the sky.

It's just that Fang Linyuan still knows that what he faces with such an identity is a more thorny future.

But Zhao Pu did a good job.

He was happy from the bottom of his heart, but he also felt relieved that he had been hanging for a long time.

But he didn't answer Zhao Pu's question of "do you miss him".

If it goes well, then Zhao Pu can naturally inherit the throne, and sit on the chair that stands tall in the clouds, which is to complete the great things he has planned for many years.

So......

Thinking of Saihan's bulging abdomen, Fang Linyuan suddenly envied her a little.

At the very least, it was a luxury for him to be able to conceive an heir naturally with his husband or wife.

What's more, the Marquis of Anping and the five princesses don't need it, but the emperor of Daxuan needs it.

Regardless of men and women, the heirs of the bloodline can avoid the coveting of the tiger, and can avoid the turmoil of no successor. The shaking of one room at a time is not harmful, but Fang Linyuan knows better than anyone that for the country and the dynasty, the slightest uneasy shaking is piled up with blood and human lives.

He couldn't let Zhao Pu carry this.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan's hand holding Zhao Pu's back became tighter and tighter.

So much so that Zhao Pu, who was being held by him, began to smile lowly.

"Worried about me like that?" His deep voice sounded in Fang Linyuan's ears.

Fang Linyuan didn't know how to answer him, so he had to nod.

provoked Zhao Pu to let go of him slightly, lowered his head, and looked at him intently.

People can have love, but they should not let this love cause karma and let others follow suit.

Fang Linyuan looked at Zhao Pu, and suddenly felt some unexplained grievances in his heart.

They have to stand in such a position, be supported by all the people in the world, and be responsible for their every move.

But Zhao Pu should stand in this position again.

He has done so much planning and suffered so much for this. He had struggled in the darkness and mud for too long, and he had such a rare clean heart to stand tall.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan gritted his teeth in secret, forcing himself to make up his mind.

"What's wrong?" It was rare for Zhao Pu to see him staring at him for a long time without speaking, lowering his eyes and carefully looking at his expression.

The black eyes were watery, like a little deer with a nightmare.

Who messed with him?

Zhao Xuan's eyebrows sank slightly, and he was about to ask a detailed question, but he saw Fang Linyuan suddenly raise his hand and wrap his neck.

He kissed him.

Zhao Pu didn't even have time to close his eyes, he saw Fang Linyuan's eyelashes drooping, and he kissed his lips without hesitation when he closed his eyes.

Rampage, as if how determined he was, there is a kind of desperate honesty.

Where can Zhao Pu stand it?

It was as if he had been pushed to the heart by the horns of a fawn, and a hot beating heart was completely carried away by the rampaging little animal without even struggling.

…… I missed him.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth couldn't help but rise, and his hand involuntarily tightened, wrapping Fang Linyuan firmly.

For a time, the deep and heavy kiss was inseparable.

Lips and tongue collide, breath entangled.

The breathing of the two became heavier and heavier in the kiss, and it became more and more messy, out of order, but with enthusiasm.

The bright red lip grease stains a pair of lip flaps messy and sloppy.

——

It's Chinese New Year's Eve, the day of family reunion.

The private soldiers and Dongchang fans under the command of Wu Xinghai managed the imperial city in an orderly manner, and those palace maids and chamberlains who were innocent and did not serve Zhao Pu and the others were ordered to perform their duties after checking them clearly, and the palace also distributed New Year's rewards as usual, or even doubled.

Fang Linyuan also made the decision and held a family banquet for the concubines in the harem in Chonghua Palace.

Not only the turmoil in the palace, they were affected, and they should be taken care of. It was also Fang Linyuan who took into account the involvement of many palace concubines with the previous dynasty, and now that it is eventful, it is common to appease them more.

This matter will be handed over to Mama Songyan to handle.

And Zhao Pu, before noon, there was a mountain of paperwork on his table, and Fang Linyuan felt a headache when he saw it.

This year, the court is not very peaceful, coupled with Emperor Hongyou's sudden illness and yesterday's palace change, there is a mess in the government and the opposition now.

Therefore, for a good Chinese New Year's Eve, Zhao Pu could not rest for a moment.

Fang Linyuan sat and watched.

The matters on the chapter and paperwork are complicated, that is, Fang Linyuan is strategizing on the field, and he has a headache in the face of these general affairs.

He didn't speak, but Zhao Pu noticed that his brows were furrowed first.

The young and handsome little general sat at the table, holding his cheeks seriously, and his neat sword eyebrows were wrinkled tightly, which made people feel distressed.

Zhao Pu raised his hand and rubbed it on his eyebrows.

Fang Linyuan was taken aback by him.

"How?"

He was staring at the affairs of the officials of the upper ministry who were missing too much, and he was suddenly pressed by Zhao Pu on his forehead.

When he looked up, he saw Zhao Pu looking at him with a smile.

"What's wrong? So worried. ”

Zhao Pu looked relaxed.

Outside the window, it was getting dark. Fang Linyuan straightened his back, sighed slightly, and said, "When I see this, I don't know if it's good or bad to get to this point." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Xuan's eyebrows rose in confusion.

"This year, the DPRK and China are already complicated affairs, and there are Turks eyeing the border." Fang Linyuan said. "If the turmoil in the DPRK cannot be calmed down for the time being, I am afraid that it will be unstable in the coming year."

"Shh Zhao Pu's finger was raised in front of his lips.

Fang Linyuan was puzzled, but still stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's the end of the year, it's unlucky to say this." Zhao Xuan smiled and raised his hand and touched the top of his hair.

It's really strange, when did Zhao Pu still believe this.

However, hearing Zhao Pu say this, Fang Linyuan felt that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he didn't dare to believe it for a while, so he hurriedly snorted twice.

Seeing Zhao Pu's smile, he picked up the fold on the table, and pointed out to him with a serious expression.

"It's a bit of trouble, so there are some things that need to be put on hold." Zhao Pu said. "For example, the ones I originally sent to Jiangnan are the most powerful ones in my court. Now it needs to be recalled as soon as possible to fill the vacancy of important positions in Beijing. ”

Fang Linyuan nodded when he heard this: "Compared to going to Beijing, the nuclear tax law is just a new deal for experiments, and it can't be completed overnight, so there is no need to rush it." ”

Zhao Pu looked at him, smiled lightly and nodded.

"yes." He said. "As for the other troubles, they won't be called troubles."

Fang Linyuan looked at him puzzled.

"I have been planning in the DPRK for many years, and my foundation is here. Regardless of those wall grasses who pursue profits, just talking about what they are doing for me now, it will not make the court really mess up. ”

As he spoke, Zhao Pu smiled and tapped his fingers on the fold.

"There's a lot of it here, it's just pretending to be a process."

This made Fang Linyuan not quite understand.

"Process?" He asked.

Zhao Pu nodded.

"Even if it's mine, you have to pretend that it's not me, and it looks innocent."

He looked up at Fang Linyuan, and saw him looking down at the fold, his expression extremely focused.

provoked Zhao Pu couldn't help but want to tease him.

I saw Zhao Pu leaning closer to him, wiping a touch of rouge from his lips with his fingers, and rubbing it on his lips that were slightly open due to concentration.

"What's more, I'm still a woman on the surface." He said. "This makes it even more important for them to pretend to be willing to die and unyielding, so as to keep their bones."

Fang Linyuan was suddenly touched by Zhao Pu, and looked up at him in confusion.

He couldn't see a bright color on his lips, he could only see Zhao Pu's eyelashes flashing slightly and his gaze was deep when his shadow was reflected in his eyes.

He roughly understood what Zhao Xuan said, but he really hadn't experienced these private twists and turns in the court.

He couldn't help but sigh: "Then don't you have to be wronged?" ”

"I don't care about that." Zhao Xuan was careless, and his gaze only fell on his lips. "If I care about this, what's the difference between me and my father?"

Speaking of Emperor Hongyou, Fang Linyuan suddenly became a little curious.

"Where is Your Majesty now?"

Zhao Pu's fingers rubbed ambiguously on his lips again, and his tone was fluttering: "Chinese New Year's Eve, lock him up in his dormitory." ”

Talking about business, Fang Linyuan was so angry by him that he had no choice but to reach out and grab his wrist.

"Don't make a fuss." He said. "This

It also makes sense. After all, he is still the emperor, and it makes sense to settle in his bedroom. ”

Zhao Pu smiled and shook his head at Fang Linyuan.

"It's not." He said. "Send him back for a reunion."

"Reunion?" Fang Linyuan was puzzled.

"With his good son." Zhao Xuan's eyes were raised, and the corners of his mouth were hooked, and he looked like a successful fox spirit.

"Zhao Jin, he still locked up in his dormitory by himself."

Fang Linyuan was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

Cough...... Although he made fun of His Majesty, he really shouldn't be.

"You're a ......," he couldn't help but poke Zhao Pu. The two of them stay together, nothing will happen? ”

"Someone is watching." Zhao Pu said. "Anyway, two useless wastes, at most they will fight, and no one will die."

This tone is as if he is looking at a fighting cricket.

Fang Linyuan shook his head with a smile, and was about to say something, but saw Zhao Xuan put down the fold with one hand, held his hand with the other, and pulled him to stand up.

"Just ask someone else." Just listen to Zhao Pu. "Have you forgotten what day it is?"

"Chinese New Year's Eve." Fang Linyuan's gaze was still on the pile of sad folds on the table.

"It's good to know." Zhao Pu's eyes showed two points of helplessness and connivance, and then he stretched out his hand, pulled the big next to him, and wrapped it around Fang Linyuan.

"What for?" Fang Linyuan was taken aback.

"Go to the holidays."

——

Fang Linyuan didn't expect that Zhao Pu was going to take him back to the Marquis of Anping's mansion.

Even Zhao Pu had already made a good move, and the two of them went straight out of Kaiyang Gate and stopped outside the Hou Mansion, the prince who had already been sent back was already in Jiyue Hall and cooked a New Year's meal for them.

As soon as he arrived in front of the hall, Fang Linyuan saw Song Zhaojin, who was supporting the maid and hurriedly greeted him.

"Sister-in-law." Fang Linyuan hurriedly stepped forward in two steps and helped Song Zhaojin. "It's cold and slippery outside, so be careful."

Song Zhaojin shook his head, not caring about this.

"I've heard about everything in the palace today." She couldn't see clearly with her eyes, and could only find Zhao Pu's direction through the vague, golden figure. "Your Highness......"

"Sister-in-law don't worry." I saw Zhao Pu come forward, with a smile in his tone, to appease Song Zhaojindao. "But deal with some chores, we are all too peaceful."

Song Zhaojin was still not at ease, but he was still supported by them and returned to the hall to sit down.

"After this morning's court meeting, there were many opinions in and outside the palace, and there were many things about Your Highness and Your Majesty......" Speaking of this, Song Zhaojin's eyes couldn't help but rise again, and his eyes looked to the side, as if he was looking for a way to the abyss.

"I'm here, sister-in-law." Fang Linyuan said softly beside him.

"Your Majesty, he ......," Song Zhaojin paused.

"As courtiers, we can't criticize the emperor. But you have only been back in Beijing for a year, and you are cautious and competent everywhere, how can Your Majesty still doubt you? Speaking of this, she sighed in a trembling voice, and looked at Zhao Pu again.

"I originally thought that the second brother would be a minister and a son, and he would be worthy of his heart, and the rest would be His Majesty's thunder and rain, and we should only respect the emperor's grace." She said. "But I didn't expect His Highness to do this for the second brother, and he actually did this big thing for him."

Fang Linyuan was stunned: "For me? ”

"That's right." Song Zhaojin Road. "Now the government and the opposition know that His Royal Highness did the matter of forcing the palace to rescue you from His Majesty."

Fang Linyuan almost burst out laughing.

The rumors in the market are really bizarre, how can such a big turmoil in the court be passed on into a lingering and sad story.

However, he swept Zhao Pu in his spare time.

Zhao Pu's eyes were deep, and he looked at him quietly, without making a sound.

For no reason, Fang Linyuan remembered the dark kiss on the city tower last night, in the blazing fire.

…… Oh, yes, it doesn't make a difference.

He is indeed the one who was saved by the anger of "Hongyan".

Over there, Song Zhaojin was still worried.

"It's just that Your Highness, I'll talk more. After all, the affairs of the court situation cannot be child's play. She said to Zhao Pu.

"I hope that my second brother is safe, but the matter of government and politics is not about our family and household. The livelihood of all the people in the world is counting on you, if there is anything unpeaceful, the Hou Mansion and the second brother will not be able to bear it. ”

Hearing Song Zhaojin say this, Fang Linyuan's heart also sank slightly.

Yes, his eldest sister-in-law is worried, and he doesn't know.

The current peace is the blood and life of thousands of soldiers and his father and brother, if he only looks at the scenery of seizing power and usurping the throne now, and does not think about this, then he is sorry for no one.

Fang Linyuan lowered his eyes slightly, extremely sure of the decision he had made this morning.

Zhao Pu's great cause has been accomplished, and after a few days of settling down, it is time for him to entrust the documents and erase the worries of the harem for Zhao Pu.

As for these days......

Let's just dream for a few more days.

Fang Linyuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, and heard Zhao Pu's voice coming from the side.

"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I know it in my heart." I just heard him say with a light smile.

Fang Linyuan looked up at him and saw that he was clearly talking to his eldest sister-in-law, but his eyes were looking straight at him.

"If I only care about my own selfishness, how can I be worthy of the sacrifice made by my brother and the ancestor for Daxuan? It must be to protect the peace of the family and the country for all generations, so as not to be in vain for them to have a red blood and a red heart. ”

Fang Linyuan's heart pounded twice.

Somehow, under Zhao Pu's gaze, Fang Linyuan actually had an illusion.

And it was addressed to him.

The prosperity and peace in his mouth were all promised to him.

——

It's not a delusion.

After all, as far as Zhao Pu is concerned, he doesn't care about his own life and death, what is peaceful and stable, but it is all because Fang Linyuan likes it.

It's just that Fang Linyuan didn't know why, a pair of eyes only looked at him in a daze.

The little marquis didn't know how to hide and hide, and the emotions in his eyes were about to overflow, and even the little maids standing next to him pushed each other and snickered.

The corners of Zhao Pu's mouth couldn't help but hook.

He could see that he loved him, and what royal power was more than to him.

The family had a New Year's dinner in Jiyue Hall, and when the night was getting dark, Chang Nian followed a few attendants and maids to the courtyard to set off firecrackers.

Fang Linyuan and Zhao Pu walked together on the snow in front of the court and walked to the lake in the backyard.

"Fireworks are set off every year on Chinese New Year's Eve by the Qujiang Pond, and the Hou Mansion can see it most clearly." Fang Linyuan said to Zhao Pu.

"It's just a pity that we're getting older." Speaking of this, Fang Linyuan sighed with a smile. "When I was a kid, I used to climb trees to see it."

The tree is the most visible, but it is also dangerous, so that his father will beat him every year because of this, and he even chased and fled during the New Year, provoking the family to chase after his father.

Thinking of this, Fang Linyuan couldn't help but smile.

He understood too early that there was a time for them to disperse.

There are too many important things in a huge family and country, and his thoughts and feelings will always be ranked behind them again and again.

It was only a moment of distraction, and the next moment, Fang Linyuan felt a tightness on his waist.

He was stunned for a moment, and in the cold fragrance of osmanthus flowers, the wind suddenly rose.

Zhao Pu didn't say a word, took him with one hand, stepped on the Taihu Lake stone in the garden, jumped on the three-story roof of Huaiyu Pavilion with his strength, and stepped on the snow-covered tiles.

When Fang Linyuan came back to his senses, the two of them had already stopped at the highest point of the Hou Mansion.

Half of the capital is unobstructed and brilliantly lit.

Fang Linyuan turned his head and saw Zhao Pu looking at him.

"I have something to confess to you." He heard Zhao Pu say. "It's hard to talk about it, but I don't think I should hide it from you."

"What?"

"I sent someone to release the rumors in Beijing." Zhao Pu said.

Fang Linyuan was stunned: "Wouldn't that let everyone in the world know that you are a person who is trapped by love and is self-willed?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled.

"I am." He said.

"But that's not what matters."

Zhao Pu's voice was very soft, like snow blown by the wind.

"The usurpation of power and the throne will not be honorable, I want everyone in the world to know, and you will be innocent from beginning to end."

At this moment, the fireworks on the Qujiang Pond in the distance, separated by half of the upper capital, exploded in the sky in the distance.

The bright fireworks lit up Zhao Pu's eyes for a moment.

How is it not honorable? Zhao Pu should be the brightest and most glorious person in the world.

Otherwise, he would not have believed that these few days would be enough to brighten up the rest of his life for decades.

Fang Linyuan didn't look at the fireworks, only Zhao Pu in his eyes.

He shook his head, as if he had a lot to say, but at the moment he blurted out, only one sentence remained.

"I have one more thing to confess to you."

"What?"

"I love you." He said.

"There's nothing more innocent than that for me."

Zhao Pu looked at him deeply, his eyes were slightly stunned.

The next moment, fireworks bloomed in the depths of his eyes. ：，n..，.
