Niehai floating lamp

In that year, Gu Yun was appointed Prime Minister by Emperor Kang because of his meritorious service in suppressing the chaos, and he was in the first rank; while Zhao Yuanzheng, who stayed in Beijing at the beginning, was the Minister of the Second Rank and the Minister of the Ministry of Education, and also served as the first rank prince and grand teacher. The eldest son, Li Ran.In the first year of the new emperor's ascension to the throne, the two had already held high positions, and they were in the limelight for a while.

As for Jiangnan, Chen Huan lost his trust in Gu Yun due to the incident last time, and completely hid his plans and actions in the dark. The entire imperial court fell into a state of blindness and deafness towards Huainan.

Until more than two months ago, Huainan Wang rebelled.

On the day when the imperial court received the urgent report, Prime Minister Gu Yun personally planned to condemn Chen Huan, the rebel king, and offered a plan to Emperor Kang to mobilize Wulongwei to intercept and kill Chen Huan through Jiangzhou.

Unexpectedly, Chen Huan escaped from birth. After that, the imperial court was powerless to stop him. In just two months, Chen Huan went all the way like a broken bamboo, directly captured Haojing, and beheaded Kangdi Li Ji in Zhaohua Palace.

And Kang Emperor's favored ministers, headed by Prime Minister Gu Yun and Shang Shuling Zhao Yuanzheng, were sent to the prison of Dali Temple by many surrendered ministers in the court as a show of sincerity.

Chen Huan ascended the throne quickly with a resolute posture, and three days later, he presented to Prime Minister Gu Yun in the imperial study.

…………

Chen Huan's bright yellow robe was quickly stained with blood on his chest, and Gu Yun's face turned pale instantly. Looking at the sticky blood on his hands, his mind went blank.

Chen Huan effortlessly smiled at him, "Secret..."

"Secret..." Gu Yun murmured subconsciously, followed by a pause, his eyes regained consciousness for a moment, he stumbled up and ran towards the door.

…………

Chen Huan's increasingly blurred vision was covered by the rushing imperial physician, and he tried his best to look in that direction, but his consciousness was still gradually drifting away.

In the direction of his line of sight, two or three feet away, Gu Yun was escorted to kneel on the ground by the guards pouring in, as if he had lost all his soul, he neither struggled nor opened his mouth, his eyes were empty, and tears flowed silently.

The imperial physician had been busy for some time, so he recruited two eunuchs to bring a rattan mat stool, and lifted Chen Huan up, obviously to move out of here.

However, Gu Yun, who had been suppressed by the guards like a dead person, suddenly struggled and dragged the two guards forward a few steps, his voice was extremely shrill, "Chengxuan! Don't go—"

Before finishing a sentence, he yelled out his throat, a mouthful of thick blood poured out of his mouth, blocking all the voices, and he couldn't make another sound, but he still opened his mouth, he couldn't stop, like crazy average.

Chen Huan was already feeling sleepy, and couldn't keep his eyelids open any longer, but moved his lips forcefully, biting out a weak voice through his trembling teeth, "Let go...let go...he..."

After the words fell, unable to hold on any longer, I closed my eyes.

The guard released the shackles according to the order, but saw that Gu Yun was paralyzed on the ground at the moment of being released, with one arm hanging twistedly, and it was unexpectedly dislocated just now.

However, Gu Yun didn't seem to feel the pain at all, and he looked numb, and became motionless again.

…………

On the third day of his ascension to the throne, Chen Huan was stabbed to death in the imperial study by Emperor Kang's favorite minister Gu Yun.Later, Zhao Yuan fought to support the former prince Li Ran as emperor, killed Gu Yun who killed Chen Huan, and became a hero for the restoration of the country.

All the officials thought that Gu Yun, who was already the prime minister, was completely unbeatable this time. Those officials who sent Chen Huan to prison after he seized the throne were even more terrified, worried about Gu Yun's revenge.

However, to everyone's surprise, on the day of Li Ran's ascension to the throne, Prime Minister Gu Yun handed over the letter of resignation. please.

Afterwards, Gu Yun, who resigned from office, disappeared.He never returned to his hometown, and it was said that he was dead.

…………

The young man in a silk blue shirt saw the fish floating, a look of joy flashed in his eyes, and with a slight force in his hand, he picked up the fishing rod.

A carp weighs three to four catties.

The young man rolled up his sleeves, took off the hook, grabbed the carp, threw it into the bamboo basket, picked it up casually, carried the bamboo strip stool and walked back.

……

When a plate of steamed fish came out of the pot, it was already nightfall. The young man picked up a piece of linen to rest his hands, took the plate, stepped out carefully, and walked towards the bedroom by feeling the path he had walked countless times.

Just as he was walking, he saw a light slanting over from the darkness.

The young man was startled, and almost turned over the plate in his hand. When he took a closer look, he saw a delicate glazed lamp in front of him, with candles shining brightly inside, showing a faint yellow light.He took a breath and couldn't help spitting, "What are you doing to scare me? If it is knocked over, you will suffer from the northwest wind."

The man raised the lamp in his hand, "I was afraid that you would knock it over if you couldn't see it, so I came to guide you with the lamp."

The young man sighed, raised his foot and pushed him, "Don't get in the way, if you want to help, just walk a few steps before opening the door."

A chuckle sounded in the darkness, "Feng An, I'm not talking about you, you are too timid. You are so frightened at home."

Gu Yun cut out, "Who told you to jump out suddenly again, you are like this, not to mention me, even the fish on the plate will make you jump in surprise."

Chen Huan pushed the door open with one hand, let him in, and said, "If that's the case, it's really haunted."

Gu Yun put the plate on the table and removed the cloth in his hand. Seeing that he had hung up the lamp, he pulled out a stool from under the table and threw the cloth, "You sit down first, I'll serve the rice and get the chopsticks."

Gu Yun came back soon and handed him the chopsticks, "Try it."

Chen Huan lowered his head, and saw a fresh and tender fish lying in a pool of ivory fragrant juice, with a pinch of green onion shreds and a pinch of bright yellow ginger shreds on it, which looked good.

Chen Huan unconsciously licked his lips, "Feng An, why did you think of cooking yourself today? Where's Aunt Wang?"

Here, only [-] miles away from Dongchang Old Forest where Huainan King "Luocao" lived, is a small town called Lufang Town. However, the life of the two of them was not a poor life.After all, many things in the Huainan Palace were secretly moved here.

The courtyard where the two lived was not big, but it was also not small. It was also a courtyard with two entrances, and there were servants and cooks in the house.

At that time, when Gu Yun first arrived here, he was also taken aback. Only then did he know that Chen Huan had already left behind. belongings.

Thinking of the confrontation between the two in the imperial study room a month ago, Gu Yun thinks about it now, but it feels like a dream, and those things are already far away.

At that time, Chen Huan leaned into his ear and said, I will tell you a secret, and then Gu Yun listened to his mysterious tone and said, Fengan, my heart grows on the right side.

But later, when the dagger was stuck in his chest, Gu Yun was still frightened, and it was Chen Huan who said something else, secret, that he realized.

In fact, Chen Huan was also gambling at the time, even if his heart was on the right side, and he was stabbed in the chest, he would still be close to death.

He just thought that if he died, even if he gave Gu Yun an explanation, if he was lucky enough to survive, it would be regarded as having died once, and the two of them might let go of the past.

Gu Yundao, "Aunt Wang's daughter-in-law gave birth and went home. I have nothing to do, so I didn't invite anyone else to cook."

Chen Huan hissed, try?Hearing what he meant, he hadn't cooked much, or even, hadn't cooked...

That's normal.

After all, their previous identities obviously didn't require them to cook in person.

Just as Chen Huan was thinking, he saw Gu Yun pick up a piece of fish with his chopsticks and put it on the tip of his rice. He looked at him expectantly, "Taste it quickly."

Chen Huan's heart warmed, he picked it up and put it in his mouth, uh...

Uh, it's hard to say.No, a 'salt' is hard to come by.

Chen Huan couldn't help frowning his eyebrows. Under the burning gaze of the other party, he quickly let go, chewed and then slowly curled the corners of his mouth, "Mmm,...it's delicious."

Gu Yun's eyes lit up, he knocked the chopsticks upside down on the table, and then poked towards the plate, "Really, I'll try it too!"

Chen Huan quickly grabbed his chopsticks, with a troubled expression on his face, "Well, Fengan, the fish is too small, let me?"

Gu Yun frowned, "This fish weighs three to four catties..."

Gu Yun came to his senses all of a sudden, with a cold face, he asked forcefully, "Is it bad?"

Chen Huan didn't hide it at all, and lowered his head to pick up a mouthful of rice, swallowed it hastily, and then raised his eyebrows to look at him, "Feng An, you are trying to kill me."

Gu Yun's ears felt hot, and he said in a low voice, "Is it so unpalatable... Otherwise, I'll go get something else."

He was about to get up when he said that, but Chen Huan suddenly grabbed his wrist, pulled him into his arms, and fell on his lap, his warm breath sprayed against his ear, "Fengan, you are so beautiful, what else are you doing?" , I want to eat you."

Gu Yun only felt that his ears and face were getting hotter, but he froze and didn't dare to move, "Chengxuan, don't hug like this, your wound has only been treated with medicine, so you won't have to open another wound."

Chen Huan straddled his shoulders and let go of him helplessly, "Very annoying."

After thinking for a while, he said, "If you still go fishing tomorrow, let's go together, I'll be active, so hurry up."

Gu Yun directly refused, "No. The doctor said, there is no wind. You stay at home and don't go out."

Chen Huan leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "I've been bored in the carriage for nearly a month on the road, and I'm tired of it. It's easy to settle down, and you still let me stay in the room."

Gu Yun lowered his head and hesitated for a while, then said loosely, "Then you should wear thicker clothes."

Chen Huan naturally responded, "Well, listen to you."

After being quiet for a while, Gu Yun suddenly asked, "Chengxuan, I've always wanted to ask, how do you know that your heart is on the right side?"

Chen Huan grinned, "Guess."

Gu Yun pursed his lips and said sadly, "Could it be that you also suffered near-death injuries during the few years I was away, so you only discovered it?"

Chen Huan leaned over, couldn't help pinching his bitter face, and said with a smile, "Of course not. Now I have a scar on my chest, you don't know."

Gu Yun thought about it, and asked doubtfully, "Then how do you know?"

Chen Huan explained, "Do you know that there was a genius doctor in the previous dynasty who once said that people whose heart grows on the right side, in fact, not only the heart, but also the internal organs are all reversed. When I had a stomachache, I found that it was the right side. I was surprised for a while, and then I felt my chest carefully, and found that the right side was more bulging, so I knew it."

Gu Yun suddenly realized, "So that's the case."

Chen Huan stood up, grabbed his waist and walked to the bed, "It's late at night, I want to sleep with you in my arms."

Gu Yun's eyes turned bitter, and he suddenly remembered that on the night of his 15th birthday, when the two met for the first time, he pulled himself into his arms and said, "Gu Yun, I want to sleep with you in my arms."

The curtain of the bed fell, and on the mahogany lamp stand carved with silk, the glazed lamp, which had been turned around many times, glowed with dim yellow candlelight, dimly and brightly in the dark night...

Exactly, in the dark place of the candle light, the lonely shadow shines on the two of them.
