"Yunmo?"

Zhao Qingyan turned around and asked with some surprise, "You are already here?"

Jiang Wuyan said with a smile: "It's okay left and right, I've come a few days early." Why? Lu Wei said that he went to look for you and didn't come back with you?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "He said that there was something else, so I came back by myself." ”

Jiang Wuyan didn't ask more, only said: "This time it is also a great victory, congratulations." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "Thank you." He didn't have the interest to say much, and walked to the study.

Jiang Wuyan followed: "What's the matter? Is it because Tang Xiaoyu is unhappy again?Or is it because your family is worried about this matter?" The "your family" in the words naturally refers to the imperial court.

Zhao Qingyan said: "There are all of them, and they are very serious." Seeing Jiang Wuyan looking at him inquiringly, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a long story, I finally figured out the thoughts of the imperial brother, and the queen didn't know what to do." ”

Jiang Wuyan smiled: "I heard Lu Wei say it." ”

Zhao Qingyan was stunned for a moment: "You two are also powerful, you dare to say anything." ”

Jiang Wuyan smiled slyly: "Anyway, you also need our help, don't you?" I can probably guess that you must have some plan for calling me over. ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled: "You have misunderstood me, I am not an immortal, how could I have guessed that these things would happen so early? You are not wrong, you two really have to help me in this matter, otherwise I will go crazy." ”

Jiang Wuyan pretended to be worried: "I finally can rest and live happily for a while, but it turns out that I have run errands for others, and my life is so hard." ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled lightly: "No, there is good food for you, how can it be said that it is an errand?"

Jiang Wuyan looked at his forced laughter, and the thoughts of the jokes that arose also faded, accompanied him into the study, found a place to sit down by himself, and then asked, "Are you afraid?"

Zhao Qingyan didn't answer, and said another thing casually: "The imperial brother has been in the palace for many years, but he has never been canonized as the crown prince. Last month, we attacked the puppet palace and were on our way to the crown prince. ”

Jiang Wuyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Zhao Qingyan was silent for a moment: "Let me tell you this." Several things have happened in recent years and even in the next few months: the imperial brother has been crowned the crown prince, the imperial uncle is getting weaker and weaker, I want to be crowned, and I want to get married. ”

Jiang Wuyan immediately understood, and asked, "You mean, your imperial uncle is not in good health, so he is desperate and ready to pass the throne to the crown prince." And now it's just in time for you to win the crown, so you're definitely going to be involved?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "To be precise, I'm afraid that the Trojan Marquis Mansion will be implicated." I'm a prince after all, and they can't target me too obviously, regardless of my identity. But the Trojan Marquis Mansion ...... is rich and powerful, and the influence of the rivers and lakes is so great. I don't think I'll be able to marry Mu Qinghan so easily. ”

Jiang Wuyan quipped: "You never wanted to marry her, but this time you are worried that you won't be able to marry her?"

Zhao Qingyan ignored his joke, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The queen wants to kill me." ”

Jiang Wuyan was stunned, and he didn't know how to speak for a while.

Zhao Qingyan smiled, picked up the paperweight on the table, and asked softly: "Between me and the queen, the imperial uncle, the imperial brother, the ninth uncle, and the thirteenth uncle, who will they choose? Moreover, the queen dares to kill me, but I dare not touch her." At least the relationship is ambiguous now, but as long as I do it, it will push them to the queen's side. ”

"I, ah, I don't dare to kill her, I don't dare to die. Zhao Qingyan held his head and smiled bitterly, "My father and mother only have one son, me, and they really value me more than anything else." What do I want them to do when I die? Between my father and the queen, what should the emperor and uncle do? I don't want to die, and I don't want my father and their lives to be ruined because of this. ”

Jiang Wuyan still didn't speak, and looked at him silently.

Zhao Qingyan sighed lightly: "Looking at you like this, could it be that Lu Wei even told you these words?"

Jiang Wuyan nodded: "Yes, but I don't know to what extent." Judging by your reaction, it seems to be a lot more serious than I thought. ”

Zhao Qingyan muttered: "I can't fight the queen." It was only a brief distraction, and there was no worry on his face, and he quickly turned to another irrelevant matter: "The second brother will come over for dinner today, do you have anything special to eat? I ordered the kitchen to do it early." ”

Jiang Wuyan was slightly stunned: "There is nothing you want to eat, you look at the arrangement." ”

Zhao Qingyan lay on the table, his fingers swiping around on the table: "Let me think about what is delicious, I always feel that there is something special I want to eat, but I can't think of it." The expression was a little troubled, and it was simply a matter of "what to eat at night", as if he had completely forgotten about life and death.

Jiang Wuyan looked at him and said faintly: "There are many times when I am really afraid of you. ”

Zhao Qingyan raised his eyes to look at him, with a hint of a smile in his eyes: "Why? Because I can't guess? Or am I a guy who disguises himself like this and deceives relatives and friends is very guarded?"

Jiang Wuyan said: "I don't know, maybe I can't bear it, right? I can't say whether it's unbearable or fearful." ”

Zhao Qingyan sat up straight and said with a light smile: "Don't say sympathize with me, I will also sympathize with you." ”

Jiang Wuyan ignored his joke and asked, "I'm one of the few people you trust the most, right?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "Of course, if you are a friend, you can do a third." ”

"And Tong Xuan and Lu Wei, right?" Jiang Wuyan lowered his arm and looked a little serious, "It's been twelve years, our experiences are too similar, but you, as a child, are really too heavy." ”

Zhao Qingyan didn't squeak, waiting for him to continue, and there was no impatience or disgust on his face.

Jiang Wuyan turned to look at the paintings hanging on the wall, but he seemed to be able to sense Zhao Qingyan's attitude, and continued after a slight pause: "Of course I'm not talking in the tone of an elder, but purely out of the thoughts of a friend. You can't bear the pain alone, and the flaws in your heart are far greater than you think. ”

"I know. Zhao Qing's tone of voice didn't seem to care, but Jiang Wuyan understood that such a lack of care was just his disguise, "There are many people who talk to me like this." ”

Jiang Wuyan said: "They have a reason to kill you, and it's not just because of their high merit. Yunmo, I think the most terrifying person is not the kind of person you know you can't beat. The most terrible people are the ones who can speculate on people's hearts, hide themselves, and give up everything in order to achieve something. I have seen many such people, but I am glad that one of them is a close friend who deserves my life and death, and the other is a trusted person of my best friend. ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled faintly: "Thank you." ”

Jiang Wuyan turned around and looked at him deeply: "Tang Xiaoyu never hides his ambitions, he regards speculating on people's hearts as fun. And Lu Wei is the same. He is ruthless, regards human life like a mustard, dares to take risks, and has absolute strength. It can be said that they were originally hard-hearted heroes, but you are not. Even though you could be like that at any moment, at least for now, you're not. Without worries, without perseverance, what will become of you?"

"I think I'm sick to my stomach like that. Zhao Qingyan smiled faintly, but his eyes were as calm as water, "I don't plan to make any excuses for myself, because I know very well what kind of person I am." From the age of seven to now, I can't be a normal person. It's amazing that I'm still living like I am now. ”

Jiang Wuyan was silent, looking at his gentle smiling face, not knowing how to speak.

Zhao Qingyan stood up and slowly looked around the study: "This home is still there, my heart is still there." This home may be my last concern. Two months ago you asked me if I could still keep my heart. I'm sad to tell you, I'm afraid I can't do it now. Somebody is going to destroy my home, so what will become of me? I can't figure it out myself. ”

Jiang Wuyan asked, "How sure are you that the queen will kill you?"

Zhao Qingyan narrowed her eyes and smiled: "Based on Ying'er's saying that the pastries I gave her were thrown away by the queen, is it more than fifty percent?"

Jiang Wuyan was stunned: "Zhao Ying......"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I know what you want to say. The queen only has one daughter left, and she cares more about Ying'er's safety and anger than killing me. However, relying on Ying'er to protect me will only make the queen hate me even more. ”

Jiang Wuyan pondered for a moment: "Yunmo, try it, take the opportunity to see what the queen means." Whenever there is the slightest possibility, don't think of things as the worst. ”

Zhao Qingyan said: "I didn't think about the worst, I was just afraid that things would come, but I was unprepared." ”

Jiang Wuyan smiled: "In short, no matter what happens in the end, just say what you need me, and I will do my best to help you." ”

Zhao Qingyan also showed a smile: "I won't be polite." Tilting his head, he said, "Now I'm going to go to the kitchen to see if there are any fresh ingredients, do you want to go with me?"

Jiang Wuyan smiled and asked, "You won't do it yourself again, will you?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I don't know, it depends on the mood." ”

————————————————————-

"West Lake drunken fish?" Zhao Baiyi tasted a piece and looked at Jiang Wuyan, "It can't be you who did it, right?"

Jiang Wuyan pointed at Zhao Qingyan and said, "What he did, I taught." ”

Zhao Baiyi took another piece and chewed it carefully: "Well, it's really delicious, Mu Qinghan will have a good mouth in the future." ”

Zhao Qingyan raised her eyebrows: "It's not certain whether I want to do it for her." ”

Zhao Baiyi snorted: "It's just duplicitous, I don't believe you really don't do it." ”

Zhao Qingyan took a small piece and tasted it: "It's okay, it doesn't taste as good as the restaurant I ate a few years ago, and it should be better to put less wine next time." ”

Zhao Baiyi said: "The prince is free to the extent that you are also in the realm. Wouldn't it be nice to have time to ponder these miscellaneous studies and do something else? For example, to practice swordsmanship?"

Zhao Qingyan took a sip of wine and said leisurely: "It's enough for me to have vastness, I'm too lazy." ”

Zhao Baiyi made a jealous expression: "Wasting talent is an extremely shameful behavior, do you know?"

Zhao Qingyan said: "I don't have the talent to practice martial arts, at most I have picked up some cheap internal strength." I'm only interested in medicine and mechanics. When my medical skills can live and die human flesh and bones......"

Zhao Baiyi asked rhetorically, "How is it?"

Zhao Qingyan said deflatedly: "It doesn't seem to be good. ”

Zhao Baiyi smiled gloatingly: "Medical skills may be a favorable way for others to become famous in the rivers and lakes, and for you, it is also an interest." ”

Zhao Qingyan ate a few mouthfuls of fish as if he was angry: "If you are interested, you are interested, and I will be happy." ”

Zhao Baiyi said: "I'm organizing a hunt these days, are you going?"

"Hunting?" Zhao Qingyan thought for a while, "Don't go." ”

Zhao Baiyi sighed: "People are not arrogant young people, can't you have some lively things with us?" and added: "Lord Jiang and Lu Hou can also go together." ”

Zhao Qingyan laughed out loud without giving face: "Town Lord, what is this? Second brother, what are you polite to him? Just call him by his name." ”

Jiang Wuyan looked helplessly at Zhao Qingyan, who was smiling: "Don't laugh so exaggeratedly. You're really too lazy, so let's go hunting this time, and I can also try it, I haven't hunted wild animals in many years. ”

Zhao Qingyan didn't directly object this time, and asked, "Who else will go?"

Zhao Baiyi said: "Uncle Thirteen said that he would definitely go if he was free, but the imperial brother would not go." Zhao Ji said that they wanted to be together, and I agreed. There are also a few people in Kyori who are close to me on weekdays. How about going? Go, just the three of you, oh no, and the vastness, I'll take the four of you with me. Horses and bows and arrows are prepared, so you can bring your own if you don't bother with it, and I will give you orders for the rest to eat and drink. ”

Zhao Qingyan saw Jiang Wuyan staring at him, so he had to nod: "Okay, then let's go together." ”

Zhao Baiyi smiled: "Great, this person is enough." It's decided, after ten days, you can't find an excuse not to go. ”

Zhao Qingyan responded: "Well, I know." ”

Zhao Baiyi pursed his lips and complained: "I finally waited until you came back, and I still want to hear you talk about the interesting story this time." You're good, but when you come back, your face is full of unhappiness. ”

Zhao Qingyan smiled a little tiredly: "Second brother, I'm really a little tired, not unhappy." It's also funny, Zuo just quarreled with Tang Xiaoyu at his place, and then stayed with my master for a few days. ”

Zhao Baiyi just said it casually, and naturally he would not force him to say anything interesting: "In short, you can go over after a few days of hunting." ”

Zhao Qingyan nodded, took a sip of rice soup, and stopped talking.
