I ate soft rice in those years

As Qin Zhongli became more and more valued by Yan Bianzong, the queen also felt that the situation was more and more serious. In this situation, she was almost sure that Yan Bianzong already knew about Qin Zhongli's relationship with him.

She called the eunuch who had been working for her to come to her, "Just do what I just said."

"Niang Niang, the method you mentioned is too involved. If you offend the Chu family..."

"I am the mother of a country, and my father is a general who has made great achievements in suppressing chaos. Even if they complain." She raised her chin, her eyes were arrogant and cold, "Just do what I say. What's the matter, I will protect you." She will not sit still and wait for her death, if she continues to let it go, it will be a tiger breeding trouble, and it will swallow her at any time.

The eunuch opened his mouth hesitantly, but when he saw her looking at her coldly, he felt a chill down his spine, and immediately responded silently.

The queen raised the corners of her mouth in satisfaction, the coldness in her eyes made people break out in a cold sweat even in these dog days.

Chu Wenlin left the cabinet after work in the afternoon and saw Zheng Yue waiting outside in a carriage. He bowed his head respectfully, "My lord, my son asked the servant to pick you up somewhere."

"Not back to Qingyunzhai? Then where are you going?"

"The prince said that you will know when you arrive."

After a while, the carriage stopped outside a teahouse.After Chu Wenlin got off the carriage, the people in the carriage greeted him and brought him to the top floor.

This teahouse can be said to be one of the best in Beijing. It only prepares a few teas every day and never invites strangers. You can also see the scenery of the city wall from the terrace on the top floor.Few people knew that the person behind it was Chu Xiuyan, and Chu Wenlin had only seen the name of this teahouse in the account that Chu Xiuyan showed him not long ago.

Chu Xiuyan was sitting on the cushion beside the balcony railing and waiting, "It's a little early today?"

He picked up the teapot and poured half a cup into the teacup next to him, and placed it in front of Chu Wenlin.

"It's hot and stuffy, so I leave work early." Chu Wenlin raised the cup and drank the moderately warm tea in it, with a little sweat on his forehead.

Chu Xiuyan picked up the folding fan at hand and fanned it slowly, creating a breeze.

Chu Wenlin took it from his hand, and pinched the handle of the fan to fan the wind between the two casually, so that the hair on the forehead fluttered randomly, "What's the matter in this teahouse today?" Suddenly He caught a glimpse of the scenery downstairs, "That is, Qin Zhongli's mansion?"

"Yes." Chu Xiuyan slid his finger across the railing, and looked at the street below with a half-smile, "There's a good show, it's a pity not to watch it."

What he said was relaxed, but Chu Wenlin felt that it was not that simple.

After tea time, the sky began to darken, and the lights in the street were gradually turned on. Chu Wenlin was also a little drowsy, but at this moment, he only heard the noise downstairs.He looked down and saw some flames in Qin Zhongli's mansion.

The fire was so fierce that it burned the entire courtyard in a short while, and if it continued, the entire mansion might not be safe.The mansion was also in chaos, and there were constant shouts of panic.

But before the ferocious fire continued, Chu Wenlin saw a group of people suddenly appear in the dark night and ran towards the corner outside the mansion.Then a whistle sounded intermittently like birdsong, and the fire was brought under control in an instant. Qin Zhongli and Chu Shuhua walked out of the mansion in a bit of a panic, and a group of people behind them seemed to be escorting a person.Amidst the noise, Qin Zhongli raised his head to look at Chu Wenlin and Chu Xiuyan, and nodded with a faint smile.

"Someone wants to kill them?" Chu Wenlin suddenly understood, and he couldn't guess who the assailant was.

Chu Xiuyan glanced outside lightly, reached out and touched Chu Wenlin's fingertips, "Yes."

"Is the perpetrator this time the same as the one who burned the Chu Mansion back then?"

Chu Xiuyan shook his head, lowered his eyes, and the eyelashes under his eyelids cast a dark shadow, "Although she is not, she is also the same as the person who set fire to Chu's house back then. If they want to use a big fire to burn all those who are not good for them, their lives are theirs. It’s not worth mentioning.”

Chu Wenlin's heart moved slightly, and he held Chu Xiuyan's hand following Chu Xiuyan's movements. His body temperature melted, and Chu Xiuyan's somewhat cold palm also became warm.

Chu Xiuyan raised his eyes and curled his mouth slightly, suddenly he took Chu Wenlin's hand and put it on his mask, "Take it off for me."

Chu Wenlin looked into his eyes, hooked the gold buckle behind the ear with his fingertips, there was a muffled sound, the buckle came loose, and he took the edge of the mask to take it off.

At that moment, like a bright moon suddenly appearing, Chu Xiuyan, who had removed his mask, had no cover to hide his magnificent appearance.

Looking at Chu Xiuyan's clean and flawless face, Chu Wenlin froze for a moment, it turned out that he was not disfigured.

Chu Xiuyan clasped the back of his hand, stroked his face, with a smile in his eyes, "Surprised?"

Chu Wenlin was silent for a while, and stroked his cheekbones with his thumb.

His hands were dry and warm, and Chu Xiuyan leaned his head against his hands, extremely docile.He whispered: "The fire was aimed at me back then. I escaped by chance, but I also knew that person didn't want me to be an official, so I made a compromise and put on this golden mask, so that he could feel at ease."

Who that person was, there was no question.

Mu Xiuyu will be destroyed by Lin Feng, Yan Bianzong will not allow the Chu family to continue to develop in the court.Today's conflagration, like that of the past, is the result of power disputes.

It's just that he didn't expect that Chu Xiuyan would find another way, and then embarked on the business road.The eldest son of the Marquis of Changyi, who was revered by thousands of people, has been reduced to this point, how many people sigh.But within a few years, he could already threaten Yan Bianzong.It is estimated that he will also regret his actions back then, and let himself be tightly restrained now.

"The talent of the son will never be concealed."

Chu Wenlin still said the same thing, in his heart, Chu Xiuyan was like that.Even if his appearance is really ruined, nothing will change.

Chu Xiuyan stared at him deeply, and when a gust of hot wind blew, he raised his head and kissed Chu Wenlin.Even though there have been tens of millions of times, this kiss still makes one's heart palpitate.

They held hands, kissed each other lightly, tasted it lightly, touched and then separated, their eyes were full of confusion when they turned.

At this moment, there was a constant noise in the originally silent street.

"Look east! Something has fallen."

"What is that?"

"Meteor, it's a meteor, something big must happen!"

Chu Wenlin and Chu Xiuyan looked up, and saw a flickering light across the sky from high in the sky, and it was like daylight all around in an instant.

In the process of falling, the sky was wiped out with a gorgeous flame, which lasted for a long time, and some bright sparks could be seen falling to the surroundings.

"Meteor..." Chu Wenlin's eyes flickered, and he felt something surging in his mind, and he was in a daze for a moment.

He looked at Chu Xiuyan, only to find that he was staring at him for an unknown how long.The two looked at each other, their faces flickering dark and bright as the white light from the meteorite streaked across the sky.

Only the bursts of warmth from the palms of the hands.

-

Meteors have been regarded as a bridge to communicate with the heavens since old times, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are the messengers of the gods. A scene that has not been seen for hundreds of years suddenly appears now. Something will happen, Yan Bianzong naturally attaches great importance to it, and summoned Baozhangzheng, who recorded the astronomical phenomena and predicted ominous fortune, to ask about it overnight.

"Looking at the stars at night, the east, west, north, south and four palaces have been extremely dazzling since last night. There is a faint light flickering on the Ziwei wall, and I feel strange. Who would have thought that this would happen today."

"Is this a good thing or a bad thing?"

"Your Majesty, Ziweiyuan is the head of the court. Compared with the Emperor, the surrounding stars are lingering at this time. According to Yichen, it is heralding the birth of a noble person to the Emperor. Looking at the light and darkness of the stars, I guess the source may be from the southwestern corner. "

"The southwestern corner?" Yan Bianzong tapped his fingers on the chair and repeated it slowly. Suddenly, he thought that Chu Lin, who was born in Qin Zhongli, was in the water town at the southwest corner. "Is this person a nobleman?"

"Back to the emperor, it's absolutely true. It's just—"

"Just what?"

Baozhang was stroking his beard, and sighed, "Now the stars are weak, and there may be heretics obstructing them."

Yan Bianzong frowned, and when he was about to speak, the hidden guard sent to protect Qin Zhongli suddenly appeared in front of him, and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, I have something important to report."

"Say."

"The eunuch next to the queen set fire to the Qin mansion at night, and the fire spread outside the main courtyard before it was brought under control. Now the eunuch has been captured and is being detained in the Qin mansion."

Can Yan Bianzong not understand when he hears this?He sneered, "Okay, so the heresy is here. Pass down the order to punish the eunuch with the death penalty as a warning to others."
