On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

A few days ago, there was a light snowfall, and on this day it began to rain lightly, dripping under the eaves.

A white-shed carriage came slowly from the other side of the street, and finally stopped in front of a red-painted gate with two large stone lions standing in front of it.

A young man with a delicate face stepped out of the carriage with an umbrella, glanced at the plaque at the top of the gate, trotted over, and knocked on the door.

After a while, a middle-aged man in gray came running to open the door and was stunned, "Li Gongzi." ”

"Uncle Fu, I'm looking for Chen Xiang. The young man smiled and said seriously.

"Li Gongzi, please. The gray-clothed butler nodded, didn't ask more, and turned sideways to invite in.

Although this young offspring is not close to his own master, his own master has helped him several times, and it is not abrupt that he came today.

Uncle Fu took Li Yun to Chen Cijun's study.

Chen Cijun was flipping through the books in the study, when he saw Li Yunlai stunned for a moment, he asked sideways, and after the two of them took their seats, he asked, "Li Langzhong is here, what is the matter?"

Li Yun smiled, "First, to thank you, Chen Xiang came forward for Li Yun several times and said bluntly, Li Yun should have come to visit as soon as possible, but unfortunately he has been busy, so he has dragged it out until today, I hope Chen Xiang is not to blame." ”

Chen Cijun waved his hand, "You and I are both officials in the court, we have a clear conscience in dealing with people, and what we think and think for the country and the people, we are people on the same road, besides, I still have a personal relationship with your father, you should only be supported by the elders, and you don't have to take it to heart." ”

Li Yun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect his dull father to be involved with such a big person, so he was ashamed to say, "I have never heard my father mention this matter." ”

"In the scientific examination that year, your father and I were candidates of the same year, and we hit it off at first sight, but then we went our separate ways, so we rarely had the opportunity to talk freely. Chen Cijun shook his head and said.

Li Yun nodded, he understood his father a little, if he had such a prosperous friend, he would not be willing to show off.

"If you don't mention this beforehand, what's the matter with the virtuous nephew?" Chen Cijun said gently.

Li Yun pursed his lips and said, "I still want to ask about something, and I hope Uncle Chen will tell you the truth." ”

"You want to ask about the prince?" Chen Cijun smiled.

Li Yun nodded with a serious expression, "I just want to know Xiao ...... What is the intention of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to go to Anyang County and send me to the Imperial City?"

Chen Cijun said calmly, "I don't know what kind of person Your Highness is in your heart, but Your Highness was seriously ill for a while before leaving the Imperial City, and after that, he didn't ask about the court, and even I went to visit several times, but I was turned away, so His Royal Highness resigned from the crown prince at that time and left the Imperial City, although I was shocked, it was not incomprehensible." ”

He smiled, a little regretful and sad, "I am friends with His Royal Highness, and His Royal Highness also grew up with me, I still know a little bit about his temperament, such a practice of not leaving room for himself, unless he doesn't want to come back, he will definitely not be so decisive." It's just that I didn't expect him to come back, and it's like this. ”

Li Yun frowned, "What does Uncle Chen mean that His Highness may have another purpose when he came back this time?"

Chen Cijun sighed, "If the virtuous nephew doesn't want to be involved, he might as well find an opportunity to be transferred out and be a loose person, so as not to be involved and innocent." ”

Li Yun smiled reluctantly, "I will consider Uncle Chen's suggestion." ”

Chen Cijun nodded, "After a while, there will be an opportunity for a large number of officials to be transferred abroad, if you think about it clearly, you can come to me, or let His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince help." ”

Li Yun pondered for a long time, raised his head and said, "The virtuous nephew has nothing else to do, so he plans to leave." ”

Chen Cijun got up and said, "Then I won't leave you, the road is slippery on rainy days, so as not to get late and the road is not easy to walk." ”

Li Yun nodded.

Chen Cijun watched Li Yun disappear into the drizzle and haze, and sighed softly.

Uncle Fu frowned and said, "Master, he ......"

Chen Cijun raised his hand to interrupt, "Everyone has their own choice, it's okay." ”

Uncle Fu nodded.

The two men turned and returned to the mansion.

......

The palace is brightly lit, but there are few voices.

The tent is half covered, and there is a curling green smoke rising from the head of the bed, slowly diffusing and dispersing, like smoke and fog.

Inside the tent, a pale young man closed his eyes, and his whole body seemed to be full of colorful glow under the light of the pearl lights, and the dust was not clean.

In this way, it contrasts the blue qi and black stripes that appear from time to time on the young man's white jade face are very strange.

Time passed slowly, and the surroundings were still quiet.

The boy on the bed frowned suddenly, and his fingers moved slightly.

The shallow woman who was napping beside the bed woke up suddenly, her face became nervous, and she grabbed the young man's hand and called softly, "Xiaofeng?

The young man's eyelashes trembled, and when he opened his eyes and closed them quickly, his brows furrowed tighter, and he said tentatively, "Queen Mother?"

"Yes. Ye Yuhan hurriedly responded, "Is there anything uncomfortable? Drink water, are you hungry, is it cold? Why don't you call the imperial doctor ......?"

"Queen Mother, what day is it now?" the boy asked in a hoarse voice.

The dragon looked up. The woman whispered.

"Xiaofeng is very tired and wants to sleep a little longer. The boy said weakly, "Will you go and rest too?"

The woman's nose was sore, and she almost burst into tears, "Queen Mother...... Let's go ......."

She couldn't control it anymore, and her tears were like a flood that broke the embankment, and she ran out of control and ran out of the inner room with her mouth covered.

The boy opened his eyes again, reached out and shook them in front of him, then fell silent.

It was no longer dark in front of him, he could see the light, but it was a blurry image.

There was no longer silence in his ears, and he could hear the voice, but it seemed far away.

However, he couldn't move his senses.

Some strange lines restrained his true qi, divine sense, and even a thought, and the sharp pain in his head seemed to be like a pinprick.

Even, there is a little thing in his body.

His brow furrowed and tightened.

This is not good news for him.

Even in front of the Seven Xuan Pagoda, he provoked that person so much, and that sword was still merciful.

That man needed him as a puppet, and even if he was so rebellious, that man tolerated him.

That man had made up his mind to make him a puppet in that man's hands completely.

The young man smiled bitterly, sure enough, he was too naïve.

But is there really no room for turnaround?

"Don't think!" replied the young man as he closed his eyes, and his heart flashed in his heart.

The whole body began to ache and tremble, and the cold pain in his bones was worse than before.

This is Bi Han Gu's punishment.

If you don't behave, you have to let him have a better memory.

But the young man was unwilling, and he was even more unwilling to compromise.

Two years ago, he asked himself if one day he would be forced to give up all his pride.

He didn't know the answer at first, and he still doesn't know the answer, but he can't make others accept his mistakes.

Enduring the pain all over his body, the boy began to mobilize his divine consciousness that seemed to be imprisoned.

Severe pain also began to invade the mind, penetrating deep into the soul, and life was worse than death.

But he didn't care about it, but he desperately tried to break free from the shackles, seemed to go crazy, and didn't seem to care about anything anymore.

The severe pain became stronger, and the young man's body began to convulse, and the black formations and green qi on his body became clearer and clearer, and the light and extinguish were uncertain.
