Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

Yong'an Palace:

Holding palace lanterns in their hands, the servants who lined up neatly passed the side door of Yong'an Palace for the fourth time, and the night had completely darkened.

Although the emperor's palace at night is not brightly lit, there are people on duty all year round, so there are not many obstacles in the delivery of urgent reports.

A few short messages were passed on layer by layer, reaching the ears of Xu Yu, who was half leaning against the door and taking a nap, which made him break out in cold sweat.

As soon as he finished speaking, the servant who was in charge of delivering the message hurriedly bowed back, with a hint of panic in his movements, for fear that he would be assigned something by the manager if he was a step too late.

Xu Yu looked at the bright yellow curtain three steps away, and frowned.

It is said that people who get rich overnight tend to be unrestrained, and those who rise to high positions suddenly tend to indulge suddenly.

His master was an exception.

In the past, when he was a prince in Jiaozhou, he would hug him left and right all night long, but now that he has come to Jinling, he has become clean and self-sufficient.

Sighing, Xu Yu raised the curtain and walked lightly towards the inner hall.

There are only two lamps left in the huge palace, which are the most suitable light for human eyes at night.As the lights flickered on and off, the figure of an adult man on the bed could be vaguely seen, his breathing was long and even, apparently he was fast asleep.

Xu Yu's face turned bitter, and he stood closer.

"His Majesty……"

"His Majesty……"

Xie Xuan's sleep has always been light, and he slowly opened his eyes when the soft voice sounded for the third time.

As far as the eye can see is the hanging curtain, and the person who has been serving him since childhood is standing outside the curtain, about to call out for the fourth time.

He gave a low acknowledgment, and waited for his mind to clear up before saying, "What's wrong?"

It is immoral to disturb someone's dream in the middle of the night, let alone him.

Xu Yu didn't have the guts to do nothing.

It must be that something extremely important happened outside the palace, and most of it is not a good thing.

Xie Xuan was mentally prepared, so he just closed his eyes and waited, but the voice outside the curtain stopped for a moment, and continued: "Your Majesty, there is a fire in the northwest corner of the city, and someone took advantage of the chaos to rob the common man Xie Qi."

Yu Yun's eyes, who were still immersed in sleep, suddenly widened, and her right hand that was caressing the brocade quilt unconsciously strengthened.

After a while, he managed to recover his hoarse voice.

"Order Gao Runli to immediately block the nine gates and investigate door by door. If you want to see people dead or corpses, you must find them back!"

The imperative sentence did not achieve the expected effect, Xu Yu's footsteps moved subconsciously, and he returned to the original place in an instant, and it was a bit difficult to reply.

"Earlier, Princess Duanrou came to report that the son-in-law was assassinated while hunting in the city. The imperial doctor has been urgently called for diagnosis and treatment. Now...the life and death are unknown."

what?

Xie Xuan sat up abruptly, the remaining sleepiness in his mind was completely gone.

Xie Qi's being robbed is not terrible, and Gao Runli's assassination is not terrible, neither has reached the point of irreversibility.

But if it happened at the same time, it would be very intriguing.

The voice of the young emperor cooled down completely, and it was very clear in the empty palace; "Then tell the deputy commander of the imperial army, no matter who it is, you can seal the nine gates and start investigation, let them act quickly."

"No." Xu Yu quickly nodded in agreement, and was about to walk out the door.

"Wait a minute." Xie Xuan closed and opened his eyes before he managed to suppress the boundless anger in his mind; "Can the assassin who assassinated Gao Runli be captured?"

Xu Yu's movements stopped at the sound, turned around again, and waited respectfully for him to finish speaking.

Now that he has become the head of the palace, his records are impeccable, so he replied without hesitation; "Returning to your majesty, there are not many people around the son-in-law, and the assassin's martial arts skills were not captured, but according to his fight The guard said that the assassin's skill..."

"How's your skill?"

"It seems to be from the same line as the several guards who accompanied Shengda Princess's mansion."

In the flickering candlelight, Xie Xuan, who was only wearing thin pajamas, stood barefoot on the cold ground of the dormitory, his face suddenly darkened, and the expression in his eyes changed, making it difficult to see clearly.

It was not far from what he had thought before.

"understood."

The voice was extremely soft, with a bit of cold killing intent.

Outside Jinling, the Su family's other courtyard.

Xie Qi lay on his back on the rocking chair, the sunlight slanted down, blocked by the branches and leaves beside him.A shadow loomed around his neck.

When the sun came out of the gate of Jinling, Xie Qi was already ready to leave the capital and was exhausted when he got on the horse that Xuanwei had arranged to pick him up.

It is true that they were all rescued. Being rescued by Su Yanzhao is definitely not the same treatment as being rescued by Ren Huan. The former can obviously provide more help, and the road to avoid hunting will be much easier.

Xie Qi thought so.

Unexpectedly, after riding the horse for half an hour, Rong Chu stopped without sincerity and led him to a manor with extraordinary decoration.

The big Su character on the plaque can be seen clearly in the night.

Just don't show too much.

Even though there were 1 accidents, it was obvious that Rong Chu didn't intend to discuss with him, Xie Qi still followed in kindly.

The Su family's courtyard was built by Su Yanzhao's ancestor Su Xun, and it was handed down to him, and a lot was deliberately added.Because Su Yanlian would occasionally come to live for a while, everything needed was fully prepared.

For example, right now, the breeze is blowing gently across the cheeks, the land below is warm and comfortable, and there are two stacks of delicately made snacks in the place that is within reach. The steward of Bie Zhuang even euphemistically stated that if His Majesty is bored, there are other ways to relieve boredom. .

Left and right in the backyard of the Su family, there is no shortage of beauties and singers, and they are also idle when they are idle.

Under all the comforts, there is only one thing that is not going well.

Rong Chu, who had escorted him out of Jinling earlier, had been stubbornly guarding his side with his sword, guarding him almost every step of the way. He only pushed away a little when taking a shower and going to the toilet, which made people feel uncomfortable.

After twisting the pastry, Xie Qi withdrew his gaze from the opposite rockery, turned to look at Rong Chu, and as expected saw a long sword in his hand, with no expression on his bland face.

The words that had been held in for a whole morning were almost swallowed again, Xie Qiping regained his composure, and instead of looking at that dull face, he only said intentionally or unintentionally; "When Prime Minister Su sent you, did you ever say that you would How long will you stay here?"

It is true that now in the other courtyard of the Su family, everyone treats him with respect and hospitality, and what he enjoys and uses in daily life is far inferior to the place of confinement.

But he still... can't get out of this square inch.

The place I was in became bigger, and there were more people guarding me, but I still didn't have any autonomy.

It's not that someone stopped him from going out for half a step, it's just that he was in the middle of the game and his heart was clear, and now is not a good time to be willful.

Clear and clear, but the boredom in my mind is still lingering, as if I suddenly thought I was relieved, but I just changed from a small prison to a bigger and more beautiful prison, and there is no way to get rid of the depression all over my body.

Meeting Xie Qi's hopeful eyes, Rong Chu shook his head flatly, and replied matter-of-factly; "No."

……

"What's the current situation in Beijing? Did Xie Xuan ever issue an edict to arrest me?"

Rong Chu continued to shake his head and said honestly, "I don't know."

"Then what do you know?" Xie Qi only felt a surge of anger rising up, and it took a lot of effort to calm down, without showing anything on his face.

"I know to protect His Majesty's safety. And..."

"Su Xiang will come to the other courtyard today."

Xie Qi, who was completely out of interest after listening to the first half of the sentence, looked at him fiercely, but still didn't find any emotion on the opposite face.

It was as if the words just now were just his hallucinations.

"What did you say?" Xie Qi said softly, with a slight tremor in his tone without knowing it.

"Rong Chu said that the minister will come to the other courtyard today." A clear voice came from behind him, and Su Yanzhao, dressed in a moon-white plain robe, came out from the small door behind the rockery.

To be honest, he and Xie Qi haven't seen each other for a long time.

The last time we met was when Xie Xuan had a seizure after the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet last year. The person in front of me was standing with Xie Xuan outside Yong'an Palace. His figure was thin and pale, and he looked very pitiful.

Qu Zhi's calculation is less than a year, which is much earlier than the one or two years he said that day.

But where Su Yanzhao could see with the naked eye, Xie Qi's eye circles still turned a little red unconsciously, and he stared blankly at him.

Almost when he thought that tears were about to fall, and was considering whether to send Rong Chu out to protect the little emperor's reputation, the redness disappeared again, as if it had never existed.

Xie Qi was stunned for a long time.

It wasn't until Rong Chu asked Su Yanzhao whether An would step back slowly, that he seemed to have a sudden reaction, stepped forward a few steps, and shook the man's hand casually; "Prime...Prime Minister?"

Even after a long period of confinement, the young man was still very agile, and after a moment of hesitation, he didn't dodge his right hand that was exposed outside his sleeve robe, and was caught straight.

It was early spring, and there was still a slight chill in the air, but Xie Qi's palm was burning with heat, and his skin was close to each other, and he could feel the delicateness of his flesh.

Su Yanzhao, who has always disliked being in contact with people, couldn't tell what it was like for a moment.

It seems... not annoying.
