Leisurely Moon Pavilion

The sixth prince lightly brushed the thin sweat from the forehead of the person on the bed.

"..."

"When do you plan to go back?" The gentle concern was the same as before.

"Wait for Guangling to come back."

"I have already greeted him, otherwise how could I sit here?" The sixth prince brought hot tea, "Let's go back after drinking the tea."

"where?"

"You probably don't want to go to the palace with me, I also like to go to Zhining Lu with you."

"..." Tang Duhan listened to the words in his ears, his original stubbornness seemed to be slowly and gently corroded, and no reason, evidence, or guarantee was needed in a trance, "Are you going back tonight?"

"It's fine if you don't drive me away."

Tang Duhan raised the water glass to cover the corner of his mouth.

The next day, the poor winter morning light came in through the window, and Tang Duhan leaned on the chest of the person next to his pillow and listened to the heartbeat, and went to bed with raised eyebrows.

The sixth prince looked at each other with a smile, knowing that he was dozing off but didn't mention it.

Xiao Song knocked softly on the door, "My lord, Mr. Xun is waiting in the hall."

The sixth prince pinched his wife's cheek and said with a smile, "It's not okay to pretend to be sleeping now."

About a quarter of an hour later, Tang Duhan walked into the hall wearing an indigo robe, "Master Xun didn't accompany Guiyun well so early, what are you doing here?"

"After today, there will be more opportunities to be with you in the future." Xun Yi Yang smiled, "Gui Yun said that Mr. Tang has agreed to return to his mother's house, so he came here to discuss auspicious days."

Tang Duhan waved his hand, "Master Xun arranged it, and idlers like me only have the most time."

"Then what do you think, Young Master, at dusk on the sixth day of this month?"

"Xiao Song, what day is it?"

"Fifth day." Xiao Song bowed his head and said softly.

Tang Duhan laughed when he heard the words, and Mrs. Xun's face came to mind again, "Very good, since the matter has been discussed, Mr. Xun please go ahead."

After Xun Yiyang left, the sixth prince came out from the back room, "The relationship between you and Brother Xun seems to be worse than before."

Tang Duhan glanced coldly, "Xun Yiyang is from your side, and he can even abandon his wife for the design, you..."

"I won't," the sixth prince hugged each other tightly, "I won't."

☆, scattered clouds

When the sixth prince returned to the palace in the morning, Tang Duhan ordered Xiaosong to prepare Guiyun's dowry, "Just pick and make it."

Leaving Zhining Lu, the Xianyue Pavilion is in front of the East Street.

"Why do you come to my place every day these days, when a benefactor mistook you and took you to the room, what should I do?" Guangling joked.

The speaker had no intention of speaking, so Tang Duhan remembered the one-night affair with the third prince in Xianyue Pavilion that day, and said with the corners of his mouth, "Who doesn't know Shuqingshi Guangling's temper, and would not mistake me for me?"

Guangling smiled, and said in a low voice, "After you left yesterday, I went to Uncle Chen's to discuss whether to teach the piano to Jing Feng—that kid—and through the door I heard a man whispering to Uncle Chen inside. , I didn’t think much about it at first, and was about to leave, when I heard Uncle Chen say ‘Friendly Wind’ in surprise…”

Tang Duhan's pupils widened instantly, "What are you talking about?"

"That man's voice is low and low, like a fly buzzing, and he can barely hear words like 'humble', 'tortoise shell', 'yujue', like talking about some jewelry business. Uncle Chen, you know Yes, I have always been careful and cautious, and I can't hear anything except that exclamation."

Tang Duhan wondered how Fang Linyong would appear at Uncle Chen's place in Xianyue Pavilion, and the target was clearly pointed at him, but because he had no other evidence, he couldn't figure out his thoughts for a while, and he couldn't appeal to the original flavor when he looked at Guangling. Difficulty at both ends, depression in the heart.

"You look like an ant in a hot pot, is there something wrong?" Guangling poured tea.

"It's nothing, it's just a little flustered."

"Seeing that you can't sit still, when will Guiyun get married?"

"Tomorrow at dusk."

Guangling was surprised, "So fast?"

"Good morning, good morning." Tang Duhan said coldly.

At noon the next day, Gui Yun returned to Zhining Lu by himself.

Xiaosong opened the door, "It's still the original room, let's have a good rest."

"Brother Xiaosong," Gui Yun wept first, "Thank you for taking care of Brother Xiaosong these years."

"It's a happy event today, why cry?" Xiao Song smiled and stroked his head, "Come in, it's cold outside, I've already lit the charcoal stove in advance, don't freeze on the wedding night."

Gui Yun entered the former wing room, the walls had been pasted with festive window grilles and red couplets, and there were several red lacquer boxes piled up in the corner.

"Have you had lunch yet?" Xiao Song added another coal, "Young master has gone to the palace and hasn't come back yet, so he said there is no need to wait for him."

Gui Yun shook his head.

"Wait for me." When Xiaosong came back, he brought two small dishes and a large bowl of white rice from the kitchen, "Eat it while it's hot.

"In the past, when the young master was still in the Imperial Academy, he often didn't come back for lunch, and brother Xiaosong also brought it into my room like this." Gui Yun added tears after speaking.

"I've never seen you cry like this before. You were dragged into the alley by a big man that night, and you just cursed at me. How could this be a happy event today?" Xiao Song comforted with gentle words.

"Brother Xiaosong," Gui Yun wiped away his tears, "You must treat young master well from now on alone." After saying that, he bit his lip and wept silently.

"That's natural." Xiao Song said with a smile, "You, eat this meal well, and the Xun Mansion will send someone to pick you up when you are in the dark. Don't sit on the way until your stomach growls."

Gui Yun only continued to frown, "Brother Xiaosong, let's have dinner."

The two looked at each other and forced a smile.

Tang Duhan entered the room alone just before dusk.

"Guiyun has already changed into the auspicious clothes, and we are all waiting for the Xunfu to come." Xiao Song poured tea.

"it is good."

"Gui Yun hasn't stopped crying since he came back at noon, young master, do you want to go and have a look?"

Tang Duhan sipped his tea, "There is no need to grieve in vain."

In the distance, there was already the sound of horns shaking the sky, interspersed with the sound of firecrackers, drumming, and sometimes the noise of the crowd, people shouting and horses crying, Zhining House has never been so lively and prosperous.

Xun Yiyang stopped in front of the gate on a brown-red hussar, straightened up and dismounted.

Komatsu entered the room and helped out the bride who was wearing a hijab.

The newlyweds entered the hall and offered tea to Tang Duhan, while Xiaosong was already pouring the best Pu'er.First, Xun Yiyang smiled and knelt down and handed tea, Tang Duhan took the teacup and took a sip, his attitude was mediocre.

Xiao Song half lifted the hijab for Gui Yun, and handed him the teacup.

"Gui Yun these years, thank you, my lord." Gui Yun offered tea with tears in his eyes, and kowtowed to the ground, "I have a chance in the next life, so I will repay you." His head drooped again, "My lord..." There were several noises of his head again.

The bridegroom got on the horse first, and the bride walked with the support of Xiaosong, and handed over to Tang Duhan in the courtyard.

Armed with Guiyun's new clothes, Tang Duhan walked towards the plate-topped sedan chair at the gate, "Master Xun is very lucky."

Xun Yi Yang smiled, but did not answer.

Before getting on the sedan chair, Tang Duhan suddenly felt the strength exerted by Gui Yun's right hand, squinting at him, Gui Yun returned to his usual cute and smart appearance, and took light steps.

The maid next to him opened the sedan chair curtain, and Tang Duhan helped Guiyun carefully sit in the sedan chair, and when he let go, Guiyun gripped Tang Duhan so hard that Tang Duhan couldn't help but blink.

Finally, as soon as the cumbersome etiquette was over, the bridal sedan chair and horse team gradually walked away, and Zhining Lu returned to its deserted appearance, with only the remaining burst firecracker skin reminding this scene just now.

Tang Duhan sighed, "I don't know if Guiyun's parents are in the crowd just now."

"It doesn't really matter if you're here or not." Xiao Song agreed from the side.

"Xiao Song, you are no longer the blank look you had when we first met, and you are also good at talking." Tang Duhan said with a smile.

"I've been with Guiyun for these years, so I still need to improve." Xiaosong laughed.

There was a lot of etiquette and customs in the Xun Mansion in that room. It was not until midnight that Xun Yi Yang got out of the banquet and entered the new house.

Lifting the hijab, Gui Yun's tears had already evaporated, "Master Xun."

"Should I be called Husband from now on, shouldn't I?"

"Husband." Gui Yun smiled.

On the wedding night in the bridal chamber, Gui Yun lay down in the thorny golden red waves enjoying the joy of newly-married, but after several years his wish was fulfilled, he was not as happy as expected, but felt guilty and filled with guilt, thinking about Zhi Ning Hut Tears slid down the corners of the eyes again, playing in the red quilt as a silent charm.

For the second time, Zhong Jingting knocked on the gate of Zhining Lu in the middle of the night.

"Tang Duhan," the young Pianpian, who used to be high-spirited, is now a little lame on his right leg, his face is not as good as usual, and his whole body is much thinner, "My sister..."

A serious illness and family changes, Tang Duhan sighed that Zhong Jingting's habits had also been tempered, and he was not as sharp as before, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Xun..."

Zhong Jingting smiled wryly, "Forget it, I don't know why I come to you to ask for confirmation even though I know everything about it."

Tang Duhan saw tears in his eyes, but he knew that his consolation was nothing but lies. He knew that Mrs. Xun was innocent, but he was willing to sacrifice others in order to save the sixth prince. Now he can only stand beside Zhong Jingting and sob Speechless, seeing his white shirt dragging his split-like back under the bright moonlight, he climbed up the horse with difficulty, and walked away slowly...

☆, loose

Tang Duhan walked on thin ice stepping on the rocks protruding from the wall during the free climbing process. The sky was dark and he was sweating profusely, but he didn't notice it. When he was about to approach the top of the dawn, his right foot stepped on the air, and he was secretly glad that he still had a seat belt. And the protective rope, but the eyes of the face and the sky can only watch everything go backwards quickly...

When he woke up, there was a knocking sound outside the house.Pushing the door and wearing a black cloak, Tang Duhan moved a bamboo chair and sat under the plane tree in the courtyard.The branches and leaves have withered and the stars are dark, the white snow under the roots of the big tree is lingering under the protection of the low temperature, the firecrackers Pi Xiaosong at the gate of the courtyard have been cleaned and piled up in the corner, ready to be thrown away in the next morning, the surrounding darkness coincides, Tang Du Hanyan Walking along the courtyard wall and walking past several roof tiles in Zhining Lu, under the tiles on the backside of the sun are still covered with spindle-like icicles. The wing room where Guiyun lived was attached to Xilian, but the building was empty.

A fluorescent candle gradually flickered.

"What's the matter, son?" Xiao Song lit the oil lamp and walked over.

"It's nothing, it's just that I have been dreaming these days."

"Tomorrow morning, I will go to the East Street to find a doctor to come and have a look. The winter night is short but cold, so please go back to the house and rest, young master."

"Xiao Song," Tang Duhan sighed, then laughed again, "Have you found someone you like?"

"Not yet, Xiaosong can live a comfortable life with the young master."

"Go into the house and tidy up your things. Tomorrow morning, when it's just dawn, go out of the city and go to your hometown." Tang Duhan helped Xiaosong into the house.

"Why did you suddenly say that, son?" Xiao Song asked in shock.

Tang Duhan took his seat, looked up and saw the man in the brown cloth shirt standing beside him, his baby face was already stained with weather, "I haven't been very quiet these days, I always feel that something is going to happen, whatever, you and I It’s good to go to Xianyue Pavilion, call Shang Guangling, you two go out to escape together, after this period of time, I will send a letter to invite you back.”

Xiao Song looked anxious and was about to answer the call.

"It's useless to talk too much, quickly find a thick jacket and light the lamp."

The square stone road was originally dark and quiet, but at this time, long cold shadows were reflected, and there was a slight sound of footsteps falling slowly.

"I don't know if there will be time to walk at night with the young master again in the future?" Xiao Songli said in a low voice on the left side.

"I've had this many times and I'm satisfied," Tang Duhan covered Xiaosong's right hand carrying the lamp, "It's so cold, I didn't know it before, let me hit it once today?"

"Xiaosong always has a beginning and an end, young master, be careful when slipping on the road."

"It doesn't matter whether you go back to your hometown or go to other places, as long as you stay away from the capital."

"Xiao Song understands."

"You never need me to worry about it, and Guangling will work hard for you all the way."

"It should be, my lord avoids this period of time, and I hope you have a letter as soon as possible." Xiaosong said that the eyelids were red.

The Xianyue Pavilion is still singing and dancing.

Tang Duhan and Xiaosong sat in the corner of the hall, drinking tea and listening to the piano, and they came out of the white curtain at Guangling in the fourth watch.

Seeing Tang Duhan who made an unexpected visit at an unusual time, Guangling hurriedly took the two of them into the cleaning room, "What's the matter?"

"There's nothing urgent, it's just that I've been worrying about something for the past few days, and I've been in a panic all day long. I've already made arrangements with Xiaosong. When it's dawn today, you and Xiaosong will go out of the city together."

"For that Uncle Chen talk?"

"It's not all. There are many bad things going on these days. It's better for you to avoid them."

"Then how are you?"

"The other party has a big background, I can't escape if anything happens, and besides, I don't want to leave yet." Tang Duhan thought about the person who was locked in the high wall.

"Are you sure you have made up your mind?" Guangling asked again.

Tang Duhan waved his hand, "OK."

Only when I returned to Zhining Lu alone, the sky turned white, and the dim blue mother's body gave birth to the rising sun. Chinese people throughout the ages have always preferred the moon. Tang Duhan squinted his eyes and looked towards the east, feeling helpless in his heart under the dim light Knotted in circles, more and more inseparable.Lying on the couch with head down and body sideways taking a nap, the right arm and the silk quilt slipped to the ground, and there was a little water on the pillow...

Waking up from the cold in winter is not a good feeling. After waking up, Tang Duhan poured himself a glass of water, but it was cold tea. Looking at the mud stove in the kitchen, he realized that he was used to the induction cooker and water heater, and a glass of cold Biluochun fell on his stomach. more and more uncomfortable.

Just as he was about to go back to bed and lie down again, the gate of the courtyard was knocked open with a bang. Fang Linyong was followed by several guards armed with knives, and bowed, "Master Tang, the humble minister knocked a few times and no one came, so I was rude for a while. , and hope Haihan."

Tang Duhan lowered his eyebrows and looked sideways, "Why is Mr. Fang mobilizing so much?"

"The emperor has a decree, and this minister is ordered to bring Mr. Tang into the palace."

Tang Duhan propped himself up, "Master Fang, do you know what's going on?"

"I don't know about humble ministers."

"Let's go, let me change into the court clothes." Tang Duhan looked at Fang Linyong and frowned, "Master Fang can let these guards guard my room. I don't know martial arts, and I can't escape even with wings."

"Master Tang really knows how to tell jokes."

Changing into an indigo official uniform, "Let's go, Mr. Fang."

"Just now, my minister looked around the courtyard, wondering where the servants of your lord are now?"

"Xiao Song, he went south to Suzhou and Hangzhou to visit his deceased grandmother."

Fang Lin smirked, "Then please trouble Mr. Tang to go on the road alone."

Several guards surrounded Tang Duhan's sedan chair tightly, and arrived at His Royal Highness in a short while.

In front of the door, a man in a white shirt was negotiating with the eunuch in a low voice.

"The third prince said that Mr. Zhong is not allowed to enter."

"Where is this? When will it be the third prince's turn to dominate the imperial study room? Since you want to ask the sixth prince's crime, why can't I go in with the sixth prince since we were young?"

The old chief eunuch was ignorant, why he didn't let Zhong Jingting in, when he saw the newcomers, he said with a smile on his face, "Lord Fang, Lord Tang, please."

Inside the room, the emperor lay down on the dragon chair, covered with a golden and gorgeous quilt, his face was gloomy, and his face was a bit older than before.

The third prince in silver and white brocade robes and the sixth prince in navy blue robes knelt side by side. Both of them bowed their heads deeply and were about to fall to the ground.

Tang Duhan glanced at the situation in the house and almost cried out when he saw Xun Yiyang lying behind the two princes accompanied by Gui Yun.

"Your Majesty, the humble minister has brought Mr. Tang here, and the servants around him went to Yangzhou to send off the elderly a few days ago, but have not returned yet."

Tang Duhan cheered up, but only uttered the word "Emperor" in a hoarse and thin voice, his throat suddenly became stabbed like a knife, and when he could barely greet the emperor and the princes, he knelt down and waved his sleeves and coughed dryly, The large silk sleeves have been soaked red.

And the people who were still bowing their heads and kneeling before heard Tang Duhan's voice and looked back. No matter how long it had been, Tang Duhan could not forget that look in their eyes. There were different expressions in each pair of eyes, worry , blame, care, resentment, too complex to express...

☆, landslide

The imperial study room was full of ministers and ministers, including the poor families of the royal family.In the air, there is only the scent of sandalwood from the finely carved hollow incense burner, which should have been a peaceful altar for worshiping Buddha.

The third prince was the first to speak up, "Master Tang has arrived, why not confront him face to face."

Tang Duhan knelt down and only listened to the arguments of the few people in front of him, knowing that the emperor knew that he was just opening the way, so he never even had a cross-examination.

"Master Tang, please be rude," Fang Linyong bowed and knelt down towards the emperor's couch, "The humble minister found out that Mr. Tang was originally bought by Mr. Yang Xun of Xunyi from a hook bar called 'Xianyue Pavilion' on the East Street of the capital. The young lady who came back, named 'Youfeng', later replaced Jiangling examinee Tang Duhan in the palace examination." Fang Linyong seemed puzzled, not as obsequious as in the past, and continued in a raised voice, "Master Xun disregards the law and disregards the laws and regulations. The country's safety is in danger. Don't you know that the imperial examination system is the foundation for the dynasty to live and work in peace. At present, Mr. Xun's replacement may cause complaints from the people and ruin the imperial court's appeasement of scholars in Jiangnan for a hundred years. But recently There are endless wars in the north, and in this troubled time, all the ministers in the court should work together to fight against foreign enemies, but Mr. Xun has made troubles, did he have a perfect plan behind his back, and cooperate with the Mongols internally and externally, so that he can become a minister with the foreign tribe afterwards?"

The word "Mongolia" is like Huang Zhong Da Lu Zhen turned Tang Duhan's heart water. After waking up from Xianyue Pavilion, he saw a series of books in Guangling House and only gave up on Song Ci.I asked Guangling, but he didn't know what Temujin was.Now I don't know how long is it until the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty?How long will the lives of these people, who are quarreling endlessly because of the throne, be alive?And himself, can he return to his homeland after death, can he carry a wisp of ashes of the sixth prince?

The emperor lying on the dragon bed coughed and pointed to Xun Yiyang behind the sixth prince, "You, what else can you say?"

"Your Majesty, I have something to say. I don't know if there is any evidence for what Mr. Fang just said? The Xun family is the founding hero. They have been loyal to the court for several generations, and they have never had two hearts. Besides, the whole Xun family has nothing to do with the Mongolian aliens, whether master or slave. It's nothing to do with Mr. Fang's background. It's normal to know the relationship between the past dynasties, but Mr. Fang himself, relying on an inferior person's tongue without any evidence, can talk freely, and he is accused of disorderly security. This humble minister looks at him with admiration." Xun Yiyang kowtowed, then raised his eyes and stared at Fang Linyong.

"Heh, the humble ministers are naturally not as noble as the Xun family in terms of family background, but now Master Xun has done such things that are detrimental to the country in spite of the face of his ancestors, which is tantamount to betraying the country and seeking glory. Furthermore, the affairs of the imperial court are related to the overall situation of the country, how can it be based solely on birth status, and how can Master Xun cover up the sky with one hand?." Fang Linyong walked to the entrance of the Imperial Study Hall, ordered a few times, and two or three men in quiet clothes followed behind him.

The man in the lead was dressed in a black robe with dark patterns and a square hat on his head, "Caomin Xianyue Pavilion Chen Si has seen the emperor."

The two young men behind him were all wearing brown servants' rough clothes. One had a severe limp and trembled when walking; the other came in and hid behind Chen Si, not daring to raise his head.

"Caomin Xianyue Pavilion Ran Nan/Wen Xie has seen the emperor." All voices were hoarse.

Tang Duhan remembered that Guangling had told him about the scandalous quarrel between the two of them, but seeing this inhuman and inhuman appearance before him, he was still shocked.

Uncle Chen bowed his head and knelt, his voice sounded peaceful, "Master Tang, indeed, he looks exactly the same as the friendship that Lord Xun redeemed in the pavilion that day."

"You can testify just because of their similar appearance?" Xun Yiyang said, "Besides, it is not uncommon for two people to have the same appearance in the world."

"Youfeng tried to escape from the pavilion back then, and after he was caught, he got hit by Uncle Chen several times," Ran Nan said in a calm voice, "At that time, his skin was almost torn, and although scabs formed afterwards, his body was covered with scars. The two look so similar, and they won't even have the same injuries."

The emperor was lying on the dragon floor, and just after taking the medicine, he whispered to the eunuch next to him to order him to go down with Tang Du's letter for a physical examination.

Tang Duhan followed the eunuch out of the imperial study without saying a word.

"Your Majesty, let the humble ministers speculate that Master Xun acted like this, but I just don't know what he is doing. Youfeng is a young lady in the Xianyue Pavilion. He has never had anything to do with the Xunfu. Instigate."

"The matter has not yet been settled. How can Mr. Fang catch wind and shadows when he speaks? It's like old women in the village standing at the door and scolding each other. Mr. Fang has been in Beijing for many years, and his habits have not changed." Xun Yiyang straightened his body and his face was expressionless.

"Whether there is a conclusion or not will be determined. If Lord Xun adjudicates the crime as soon as possible, maybe the emperor will be lenient if he thinks that he is a child of an aristocratic family."

"Lord Fang is a little too confident, unlike those colleagues from poor families who are timid and timid."

Tang Duhan was led forward by the eunuch.

"Your Majesty, Master Tang has no scars on his body."

The atmosphere in the hall was awe-inspiring, and the little eunuch said that it was a different situation for any poor family.

"It seems that Mr. Tang has been recuperating well after being an official for a few years?" Fang Linyong said with a smile.

Xun Yiyang also said with a smile, "Master Fang just insists on something that is clearly not true, and it is really difficult for others to deal with."

"However, your majesty is wise. As Lord Fang said, Lord Tang is indeed hairless all over his body."

"According to Chen Si, the young men in Xianyue Pavilion were raised since childhood. For the convenience of dealing with guests in the future, they have been taking special medicine since they were five years old. This medicine will make the user's body hairless." Fang Lin smiled. Looking up at the imperial couch, "Master Xun, there is no more debate now."

"It's because I have an affair with Master Tang, so I obtained this medicine from Guangling of Xianyue Pavilion to comfort my selfishness." Xun Yiyang bowed his head and argued anxiously.

Looking at the sixth prince who was kneeling silently in front of him, Tang Duhan felt mixed emotions.Knowing that he needs to avoid suspicion for the sake of the overall situation, it is natural that the sixth prince can never say anything more for himself; secondly, the sixth prince cannot talk about his same-sex relationship, and Xun Yiyang only spoke falsely when he had to. Lamenting itself is also a scandal. Regardless of the present and ancient places, this group has suffered endless eyebrows and white eyes. Can we pin our hopes on the future?Three things are full of loopholes in this matter, the paper can't cover the fire, and now we are at a disadvantage. I am afraid that today will be inevitable, and where will Guangling Xiaosong escape? Is it safe?

The soft-spoken eunuch entered the room and knelt down, "Master Tang's servant Xiaosong and Xianyue Pavilion's servant Guangling have been captured, and they are currently being held outside the house."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Tang Duhan sighed and looked back.

"Mr. Tang, can you explain why your lord's two cronies fled?"

"Xiao Song returned to his hometown to express his condolences. I was worried, so I let Guang Ling follow."

"Master Fang is not only worried about state affairs, but also interested in family affairs?" Xun Yiyang smiled.

"Master Xun really won't give up until he reaches the Yellow River. Originally, I didn't want to be so ugly." Fang Linyong sneered, and gave Xun Yiyang a wink.

☆, dust breath

A female voice exploded in the breath of sandalwood. The royal family would not use low-grade incense, but Tang Duhan almost fainted when he smelled it.

Gui Yun knelt forward and took a step forward, "Your Majesty, Cao Min is Lord Xun's new wife. Before leaving the court, he worked in Zhining Lu on East Street, which is Lord Tang's mansion."

Xun Yiyang clutches the corner of Xinjiao's clothes tightly.

"I don't know what's the matter with Mrs. Xun?" Fang Linyong asked with a smile.

"The grass man's name is Guiyun, and he and Xiao Song have served Mr. Tang since childhood. Originally, the grass man did not know the details of Mr. Tang, but on the day of Mr. Xun's wedding banquet, Mr. Tang took the grass man to Xun's mansion, and he heard what the two said. In it, there were words such as matchmaking and bridging', and I even heard Master Xun say to Master Tang, 'I didn't redeem you from Xianyue Pavilion for eating, drinking and pleasure'."

Tang Duhan's headache became more and more severe, and the sandalwood seemed to become thicker, making people intoxicated.

"Master Xun said that all his life and his wife, so what else can Master Xun say?"

"The scumbag helped Master Fang to speak for a while, but the humble minister did not do this. The emperor can't listen to her confession and collude with Master Fang."

Gui Yun took out the yellow paper from his sleeve, his eyes dimmed with tears, "Your Majesty, this is the deed of prostitution that Cao Min found in Mr. Xun's house."

There are black letters and red handprints on the yellowed paper, which was pressed by the original father of Youfeng, who was addicted to alcohol and gambling, which made his wife and children not separated enough. After 30 years, he will be involved in such a struggle to finally destroy it. Tang Duhan.

"The yellowing traces on this paper look like they were made ten years ago, and even imitations can't be mistaken for the real ones. Now Master Xun is finally speechless?"

Xun Yiyang lowered his head, his hair fell to his temples, Gui Yun raised his right hand to caress it, but it also fell down.

"The minister pleaded guilty, Youfeng and the minister were happy with each other, and they also had official career ambitions, so the minister boldly set up a plan to please Youfeng."

"Hey, Mr. Xun is really an iron-boned person, and he refuses to let go of a word. Just now Mrs. Xun said that she clearly heard that you and Mr. Tang were using your relationship in order to cooperate with each other in the palace." Fang Linyong chased after him, "Is it right? Is it really necessary to punish Mr. Xun to soften this iron bone? Your Majesty, this humble minister asks the Ministry of Punishment to intervene in this matter."

"Didn't you just say that you have caught up with Tang Duhan's two cronies? First, drag them to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and torture them severely." Tang Duhan could hardly hold back when the originally calm old man on the emperor's couch opened his mouth.

Seeing that the eunuch had gone to reply to arrange the affairs of the Ministry of Justice, and looking at the sixth prince who was kneeling quietly at his highness, Tang Duhan remained silent, helpless...

"Put him, Xun and Tang, in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice first, and come back for trial tomorrow." The man in Tazhong waved his hand, and everyone below said "the emperor is wise".

Xiaosong was being held on the torture device, and two thick and greasy men whipped the whips, and the blood escaped from the opened flesh and dripped down.

"If your Master Tang really cared about it, he wouldn't have gritted his teeth and refused to recruit you to be tortured and suffered. I'm sorry for your loyalty." Fang Linyong, who was sitting quietly drinking Pu'er tea at one end, said quietly, "It's just that Luohua deliberately flows ruthlessly. , why bother to stick to it? You all recruited, I can save a life, but as for money, it is even more trivial."

"How do you get something you haven't done?"

"Haven't done it? What do you think I am?" Fang Lin smiled at the sharp sound of the tea lid knocking on the cup, "You came out from the Xun Mansion. Since you have betrayed the Lord once, why do you want to do it a second time?"

"Fart." Xiao Song lowered his head, his voice was weak, "Young Master is innocent, but you are being insulted for nothing by an inferior bitch like you."

Fang Linyong threw a tea cover over, and Juan hit Xiaosong's temples hard with the breeze, "What are you, it's not your turn to call me low."

"It's in vain for you to sit in this position, but have those children from the aristocratic family ever looked at you?" Xiao Song sneered, "Don't talk about them, I also think that you are not a dog, you are so painstakingly calculating, but you are not human at both ends. "

"I don't need you to think highly of me." Fang Linyong smiled.

The servant came into the room and announced with a smile on his face, "The servant of the Xianyue Pavilion has been recruited, and Mr. Xun was sent to Mr. Tang's palace at the instigation of the sixth prince."

"How?" Fang Linyong smiled, "What's the use of you being loyal all by yourself? Tell me frankly as soon as possible, and I can let go of the past."

Xiao Song laughed, his tendons pulled more dark red blood from the wound, "You're dreaming! Do you think I'd be fooled by this? Until I die, I'll only know that you are innocent."

Fang Linyong threw away the teacup with eyes red, "Hit! Hit to death!"

The Pu'er tea and the bloodstains mixed together and flowed zigzag along the cracks of the ground towards the prison...

The cell that Tang Duhan entered was the last one in the row. The walls were cold and slippery, and there was no skylight. The cheers of the prison guards chatting and drinking and the candlelight could not reach here.

Recalling the past in detail, Tang Duhan realized that he had lived for nearly 50 years in total, and his young years were nearly twice as long as others, but they were all spent in suffering... Lying down on the withered grass scattered on the ground, "withered grass It's all wet, rotten and bloody." Fu sat halfway against the wall, and the slippery touch made Tang Duhan feel as if he had fallen into a sinking quagmire, so he just stood there and listened to the waves. There was a rustling sound, until the rhythm of trampling footsteps approached, the metal sound of the keyhole turning and the key being entangled forced, "It's another day so soon".

Walking into the imperial study room and smelling the scent of sandalwood, it was no longer calming the mind, but mixed with blood and the wet rot of the prison, Tang Duhan almost vomited out.

He was the last one to enter again, still kneeling with heads full of people, and only added a bunch of white clothes, which was really dazzling.

"How did the cross-examination go?"

"Both are not recruited, it's just that both of them are not strong, so they have already gone." Fang Linyong replied.

The emperor took the decoction from the eunuch, "That's all."

Tang Duhan heard that his head was dizzy and seemed to be about to burst. He had never smelled such sandalwood. He was depressed and stayed up all night in a cold dungeon. .

"Son!"

"Duhan!"

Perhaps Tang Duhan was lucky, so he passed out and was sent to the imperial hospital, and the rest of the matter in the imperial study was ignored.

"Your Majesty, what Mrs. Xun said yesterday is a sure thing. Master Xun bought Youfeng from Xianyue Pavilion and used it to replace Tang Duhan in the imperial examination. In fact, it is to cooperate with the palace."

"Speaking of this, Caomin remembered that when Master Xun met Youfeng in Xianyue Pavilion, the first sentence he asked was 'you wrote this word?' Caomin still felt strange, why would someone ask Xiaoguan about handwriting? ?” Uncle Chen said in a timely manner.

"Tang Duhan's characters are indeed very similar to the former empress." The emperor sighed, "Master Xun, you have bothered."

Xun Yiyang kowtowed, "I am a humble minister, I am convicted."

"Since you are convicted, why not just tell the truth?" the third prince said, "Master Xun arranged people in the palace, and deliberately wanted to gain the trust of the emperor, not to mention that he did it all by himself, only for the safety of the Xun family?"

"This," Xun Yiyang bowed again, "the humble minister is indeed as the third prince said, all for the Xun family's comfort."

"Master Xun, you have to tell the truth," the third prince looked sideways at the sixth younger brother beside him, "The sixth younger brother has always been on good terms with Lord Tang and Lord Xun, do you know something?"

Zhong Jingting knelt down and said, "The third prince might as well say it directly if you have something to say, the emperor is a discerning person, if the sixth prince really has this heart, the emperor will not know."

"Master Zhong's family doesn't need to be so hasty to protect his shortcomings," the third prince clapped his hands, and the eunuch led a young woman into the room.

"Sister!"

Zhong Min was already emaciated, his eyes were swollen with blisters, and his complexion was pale. "Your Majesty, in the case of Concubine Jin, the Empress was already on the verge of dying. It was the foolish people who listened to the slander of the Empress and the Sixth Prince and planned to blame Concubine Jin."

"Sister, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"My younger brother is stupid, he doesn't know anything, I hope the emperor will not blame him." Zhong Min lowered his head.

Only then did Xun Yiyang speak, "It is true that the sixth prince ordered the humble minister to redeem the queen's handwriting, and replace the scientific examination to obtain the emperor's trust and cooperate internally and externally to obtain the throne."

Hearing these words, his eyes were cracked, his face was strange, and he pointed to his kneeling son out of breath and said, "You, you, are not worthy of being a human being!"

Suddenly collapsed on the imperial couch, with his eyes open, the eunuch beside him bent down, stroked his face and closed his eyelids, "Death"...

☆, new owner

When Tang Duhan woke up consciously, what he saw in his eyes was a pile of mahogany furniture that he was used to, blue and white porcelain pots arranged neatly, Gui Yun was sitting at the square table in the center embroidering female red, the moonlight revealed by the window was dim, An oil lamp danced silently on the table.

The first time I woke up in this time and space, it was Guangling in Xianyue Pavilion. In the future, Zhining Lu always opened his eyes and saw Xiaosong carrying hot water into the room to wash up.Tang Duhan lifted the quilt and sat on the edge of the bed, asking, "What time is it?"

"Fourth watch, young master." Gui Yun put down his embroidery work and brought a cup of hot tea.

"It's the time when the chickens are screaming and the dogs are stealing."

"Young Master..." Holding the tea in his hand, he stopped at the foot of the bed, Gui Yun looked ashamed and embarrassed.

"What's the situation outside now?"

"The first emperor passed away, and the third prince succeeded."

The quilt on the bed was suddenly wrinkled into a radiating shape, concentrating on a thin and pale fist, Tang Duhan's brows were furrowed, and his black eyes were shining with water.

"The sixth prince has been imprisoned." Gui Yun whispered.

Tang Duhan looked at the way the people around him bowed their heads, feeling disgusted in his heart, with a normal expression, "Where are others?"

"The army in the north is in a hurry, Master Xun will be leaving tomorrow."

Xun Yiyang's official position seems to have risen instead of falling, and now he holds a lot of power, "Why don't you go and accompany him?"

"Young Master, there is no one to take care of him yet, Gui Yun can't leave."

"Let's go," Tang Duhan stood up and took the tea by himself, "Let's go together."
