Haiyan

As soon as Chang Sheng came out of the kitchen in disgrace, he bumped into Li Su's arms.

He looked up, just in time to see Lao Gao who was very dissatisfied with his eyebrows, and subconsciously said, "Why are you here?"

The cloak on Li Su's body was covered with snow. Seeing that Chang Sheng was only wearing a thin moon-white gown, with black and white spots on his face, he quickly untied the cloak and wrapped him tightly. He frowned and said, "Why do you wear such a robe?" few."

Chang Sheng was dragged in front of him by his collar, surrounded by servants, he shoved Li Su shyly for a while, and said, "Go back to the room and talk."

Li Su asked him, "How did you become such a ghost?"

Chang Sheng laughed and said: "Hey, I didn't pay attention when I lit the fire just now, and I almost set your kitchen on fire, but luckily I didn't cause any serious disaster, let's go, let's go in, it's very cold outside. "

The two entered the room one after the other. Chang Sheng pouted his buttocks and turned around in the cabinet for a long time. Li Su stood behind him. With a slight movement, the roots of his ears turned red involuntarily.

When Changsheng turned his head, he found Li Su's face was a little weird, and he couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with your face? It's so red? You didn't speak for a long time, I thought you went out."

Li Su coughed twice in embarrassment, hurriedly concealed the panic in his eyes, and asked, "What are you looking for?"

Chang Sheng said: "See if you have any old clothes that you can't wear. Next time I go to the kitchen, I'll put them on over my clothes, otherwise I always have to wash them as soon as they get dirty. It's too troublesome."

Ever since he ate a few meals made by Li Su's back kitchen, he has become extremely picky. The cooks of Wei Shuyou's family were too foolish in the past, and the dishes they made all tasted the same. This mouth has faded away a long time ago, and Wei Shuyou doesn't dislike it even if he is careless. After all, Li Su is still exquisite, so he has to learn a little from the back cooks before returning to the palace. When Wei Shuyou comes back, he can also be in front of him Show off.

Li Su pulled him up from the ground and said, "I never wear old clothes, and it's useless if you look for them."

Chang Sheng thought about it, but it was true, Li Su had a lot of problems in the first place, basically he would throw away used things no more than three times, which was extremely extravagant and wasteful.

Chang Sheng glanced at his filial attire, and asked, "Are you going to the palace soon?"

Li Su nodded and said, "The national funeral will be over tomorrow, and I have to go to pay my respects later."

Chang Sheng frowned, but didn't speak.

Li Su said: "The eighth son just returned to the palace this morning, so there must be new changes in the situation in Beijing."

Chang Sheng asked: "Can he compete with Zhao Yuqiang for power?"

Li Su: "It's hard to say... Zhao Yuqing has been wandering outside for ten years. It can be said that he has no foundation in Beijing. Even if he has the support of the matriarchal clan behind him, he is not as powerful as Zhao Yuqiang in the court. If he has no other Thoughts, it’s okay to come here to mourn the death of Emperor Ai for the last time, if you are really inspired by those people to come up with other ideas, I’m afraid it will be more troublesome.”

Chang Sheng sneered: "It's best to let them fight each other. If one dies, one dies. It's best if they die."

Li Su smiled and said: "What a childish thing you say, you are not allowed to say that in front of others, otherwise I will not be able to keep your little head for you."

Chang Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not afraid of them."

Li Su shook his head and said: "Now the death of Emperor Ai is a thorn in everyone's heart. They all put this blame on the traitor who turned against him that day. Now all parties are searching for the armored man who escaped that night. Slave...Chang Sheng, the uprising in Yuezhou is getting bigger and bigger, and several cities around Chishui have also fallen one after another. People, other states and counties, but all the owners who have raised slaves are now conspiring to dispose of them..."

Chang Sheng blamed himself a little: "It's all my fault, I didn't expect such a consequence that day..."

Li Su comforted him: "It doesn't have much to do with you, even if you didn't do that night, the Yuezhou Uprising and the Chishui Rebellion, what should the court do to these slaves?"

Chang Sheng frowned and asked, "Who instigated the trouble over Chishui?"

Li Su solemnly said: "It's not clear yet, if he can hide it so tightly, he must have extraordinary means. The central army sent by Wang Yu just arrived a few days ago, and it can't be suppressed at all. Now there is snowstorm on all sides. The imperial court has been messed up by these things, and they can't take Chishui into consideration for the time being."

Chang Sheng snorted coldly: "Look, even God doesn't want to let him go."

Li Su turned his head and looked at the vast snow outside the house, quietly lost in thought.

Looking at his side face, Chang Sheng found a faint scar on his neck, remembering that this was the mark he made with the dagger when the two fought that night, and felt guilty for a while.

Ask him: "Li Su, if one day the responsibilities of family and country and love for children were all in front of you, which would you choose?"

This question should not be asked, because it is a very inevitable question, and both of them know it well.

For the past month, Chang Sheng has been staying by Li Su's side. Rao already knew each other's intentions, but still no one dared to bring up this issue. Except for the thin layer of paper between them, in fact, once this kind of thing is spread naked, they can't avoid it.

Li Su looked down at him slightly. His chin was slightly pointed, his jawline was very strong, and the bridge of his nose was as straight and straight as a knife. It may be because he didn't smile often, but the playful expression at the end of his eyes always felt A little cold.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Chang Sheng felt a little uncomfortable for a while.

But that's right, the Western Han Dynasty is his country. Although he and the Western Han Dynasty have irreconcilable hatred, the relationship between the family and the country is always greater than the personal relationship. Besides, the two of them should not have reached that point yet.Chang Sheng thought.

With an embarrassed smile on his face, Chang Sheng said: "It's getting late, you should go quickly, don't delay the time to enter the palace."

When Li Su went out, it was just before dusk when the wind and snow were at its heaviest. Ah Cheng prepared the snow-white fox-fur cloak and took an umbrella. Li Su waved his hand to signal no.

Ah Cheng asked, "Second Lord, should we go directly to the palace?"

Li Su paused and asked him, "Has Zhao Yuqing gone to guard?"

Ah Cheng didn't realize who Zhao Yuqing was, he was stuck for a while, and then said: "Ah... yes, I have been kneeling in the sacrificial hall since I came back in the morning, and I heard that he directly occupied the seat of His Highness Fifth... The ministers looked at that posture, and none of them dared to go up to persuade them."

Li Su said coldly: "If you occupy it, you will occupy it. Now there is no decree saying that Zhao Yuqiang is the crown prince, but he is only temporarily in charge. He really thinks he is a real dragon."

Ah Cheng said: "One day, His Highness the Eighth Prince exchanged a few words with Di Guogong, and also exchanged a few words with the Third Duke. He didn't answer any questions from other people."

Li Su asked him: "Tomorrow, when the golden coffin enters the mausoleum, is there any clue about Liang Xiao's matter?"

Since the night of Emperor Longwu's death, half of Liang Xiao's soldiers rebelled with the traitor. Zhao Yuqiang was furious and threw Liang Xiao into prison that night. Liang Guoying was anxious after hearing the news in Liaocheng, but he did not Dare to come back rashly, because the mage said three days ago when he was chanting sutras for Emperor Ai, he said that he needed a few generals with strong spirits to suppress the soul of Emperor Ai, so Liang Guoying was recruited back.

In the past ten years, the powerful and majestic general of the country in the Western Han Dynasty has been living a life like an ant lying low, and his blood has been wiped out with the snow and snow that year in Hokuriku. He does not know the present.

Tomorrow when Emperor Ai enters the mausoleum, logically, all the officials must be in place. As a member of the Jingji Palace, Liang Xiao should follow him, but I don't know if Zhao Yuqiang will let him out.

Speaking of which, Li Su felt sorry for Liang Xiao in the end. If he hadn't deliberately arranged Liang Xiao's staff outside the Hall of Eternal Life, such a change would not have happened, but Li Su only found out later. Well, those people under Liang Xiao were completely replaced by Wei Shuyou a few years ago. If someone else did this extraordinary skill, Li Su would still find it novel, but if it was Wei Shuyou, it could only be regarded as Liang Xiao was out of luck.

The servants had already parked their horses at the door, and Li Su was about to turn over when he thought of something, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said to Ah Cheng, "You wait for me here first."

Then he entered the mansion without looking back.

Chang Sheng looked at the snow outside in a daze, and after a while, he couldn't help being stunned when he saw Li Su suddenly turned back.

Seeing that his shoulders were already covered with snow, he was about to ask him what's the matter, when he heard Li Su standing at the door and whispering to him: "Changsheng, if that day really comes, I will go according to my heart." Make a choice."

By the time Chang Sheng recalled these words, it was already dark.

The moon hung miserably, the white everywhere reflected the night brightly, the plum blossom branches were crushed by the heavy snow, and there was a crisp "click" sound in the quiet small courtyard. The night owl perched on the branch flapped its wings violently and wailed a few times.

The man in black handed the letter to the desk, and Chang Sheng held his forehead in some embarrassment and said, "It's too fast, it's written in two days, and it won't let people live."

The man in black couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to say much, he just said: "The prince is still waiting for the young master's reply."

Chang Sheng didn't dare to open the letter at all, for no other reason - after he ran back from the old Huang's horse a month ago, he was sued by the old Huang Yi to Wei Shuyou who was fighting in Yandumen far away, and the latter was very angry He almost stabbed Chang Sheng to death with his seventy or eighty-pound long halberd. Later, if the war was not tight, Chang Sheng's life would have been in danger. I thought I was lucky to escape, but I didn't want Wei Shuyou to write a letter every day. The cursing letters had piled up his desk now.

The content is just dirty and dirty words, and the characters are surprisingly ugly. At first, Chang Sheng bit the bullet and replied to the letter after reading it, but later on, he didn’t even have the courage to open the letter, because every time he looked at the words, It was as if Wei Shuyou was standing in front of him, holding this stick in his hand, trying to beat him up.

He climbed on the table and made a reluctant expression, and said to the man in black, "Just tell him that I don't have time to return to him in the past few days?"

The man in black: "We have so many eyes staring at me, the prince knows exactly what the young master does every day."

Chang Sheng: "..."

And let no one live?

Dissatisfied: "Who made him keep swearing!"

The man in black: "My lord said, beating is pain, scolding is love, scolding is heavy, love is deep..."

Chang Sheng: "..."

What nonsense logic!

Chang Sheng asked him: "Is it snowing at the border?"

The man in black: "Whether it snows or not is written in the letter, the young master will know it at a glance."

Chang Sheng: "..."

The man in black said: "The lord also said that if you don't reply this letter, he will come over and strangle you to death when the young master is asleep in a few days!"

Chang Sheng: "...Understood, just wait for me."

Chang Sheng carefully opened the envelope, a little bit blind to the dog-eating words on it, the man in black said with a smile: "It's been a month, the prince has probably calmed down, young master don't have to worry about it."

Chang Sheng was right when he thought about it, Wei Shuyou didn't have a temper to begin with, and when he was most angry, he just frightened him. Besides, it's been such a long time, so there shouldn't be anything wrong with it, right?

He began to look at it with luck, and sure enough, his tone was gentle, nothing more than gossip, Chang Sheng couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, but stopped at the last sentence——

"Do you think I've calmed down? It's beautiful! Little brat, I'll see you in half a month, so be careful when the time comes!"

Chang Sheng: "..."

After handing the reply to the man in black, Chang Sheng felt that Wei Shuyou would be even angrier after seeing the reply. He suddenly regretted it, and wanted to call the person who sent the letter back, but the person traveled too fast and disappeared long ago. .
