sunset fever

Chapter 21 Chapter 9 [Two]

The drizzle kept pouring on the hands, and when it was dark, the wind blew up.

Two braziers with red flames were lit on the outside of the cell. Chen Bizhen was wearing a jacket and a cloak embroidered with a light gold dragon. When he entered here, the cloak was taken by Jianfang, and Zhong Qingming stretched out his hand to poke him into sleep. The neck of the guard who fell before the case.

The guard woke up, and immediately knelt down with his red eyes open, saluted and greeted Chen Bizhen.

Chen Bichen went to sit on a chair beside him. He raised his hand to review the interrogation record on the case, looked at it for a few times, but without raising his head, said, "Let him come out, I will question you."

Immediately, some guards went, opened the narrow door of the cell, and after a while, dragged the corpse-like man out.

Hearing Chen Bizhen's words, he gave him a seat, and Zhong Qingming also held his sword and went to stand beside Han Shi, and two guards pressed the man's shoulders.

"We don't need to waste time, do you have anything else to say?" Chen Bizhen asked in a low voice.

Han Shi's face was covered with blood, and he seemed to be unable to find his nose and eyes. His head hung on his neck, and he leaned forward heavily. :"No."

"Have you been appointed by King Xihe?"

"I can survive until now, I have to thank the prince and concubine, they don't know anything about it."

Chen Bizhen took the tea, he turned his head and called, "Jianfang."

Jianfang was still wearing the cloak on his arm, he seemed to be terribly cold, trembling unceasingly, he bit his white lips with his upper teeth, and said: "Your Majesty, I have already ordered you to go down, it is time to be on the road gone."

Zhong Qingming was alert, he immediately stepped forward and stood beside Jianfang, and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm fine."

While Jianfang was talking, his face turned paler and paler. He coughed twice, and Zhong Qingming called the guards to help him out.

"Your Excellency is suffering from the wind and cold, so it is inconvenient to stay here." Zhong Qingming said.

Chen Bizhen didn't say much, he took a sip of tea and asked, "Who ordered you? What accomplices do you have?"

"no."

Han Shi raised his eyes, the eyeballs seemed to pop out, he looked directly at Chen Bizhen, and shook his head.

At this time, the guard brought the servant who brought the food box over. He saluted and said, "Your Majesty, Wan'an, this servant is entrusted by Master Jian to come here with dumplings for one person to eat."

"Give it to me." Zhong Qingming went to pick it up and sent the servant away.

Chen Bizhen stood up, he was not angry but powerful, looked out of the small window here, and said: "Tomorrow is the beginning of winter, if you have not prepared, eat the dumplings today, if you have prepared, then eat the dumplings too. Let's talk slowly."

Han Shi's voice was hoarse, he sneered halfway, and said, "You won't let me live if I confess anything, but I really have nothing to confess, I was the only one who planned this matter, the one who stabbed someone that rainy night It was also me, I stole the medicine from that female officer during the hunt, and you all know the rest, there is no one else."

Zhong Qingming put the food box away.

Everyone went out again, wanting to leave this place, but when they got outside, they saw that the rain had turned into small grains of white snow, covering the ground with a thin layer.

Under the eaves of the door was Shanyin lighting a lantern, and standing beside him was Yan Xiu, who was wearing a blue long-sleeved gown.

This time he saluted respectfully, with a cold tone, and said: "The prisoner was seriously injured, King Beimei ordered him to come down again, Master Bi reminded him again, and I came here to see him."

"You have to take a trip." Chen Bizhen tilted his head lightly, and saw his slightly lowered face.

Yan Xiuyue was still angry about what he did, so he was so cold and distant. He knelt down before Chen Bizhen, but now, he looks like the one who should be knelt down.

"I do things for my salary, so I don't have to worry about it, I'll go ahead."

The snow fell on the tip of his nose, and it turned into icy drops of water in seconds. Chen Butie stood there watching Yan Xiu and Shanyin go in, and then he turned around and said to Zhong Qingming behind him, "Let's go."

"Your Majesty, I will guard you tonight, Mr. Jian needs to rest." Zhong Qingming said something that only Chen Bizhen could understand.

The two of them understood each other, and when they looked at each other, they became more determined, and there was no need to ask for confirmation again and again for some things.

Chen Bizhen gritted his teeth, and went to pick up the snow in the dark night, illuminated by a few lanterns in front of him, the figure looked like a fish swimming in the black pond, he let out a long breath, and said, "The attendant is angry."

He was so uncertain and a little timid, the words slipped from the tip of his tongue, and he also smiled at himself.

Yan Xiu brought Shanyin here on the grounds of business, which is far-fetched no matter how you look at it.

He did come from home, and he originally wanted to pick the time of daylight, but when he met Chen Bizhen, he was flustered at the moment, but he recovered later, seeing that Chen Bizhen didn't notice anything unusual, so he was relieved.

The dumplings were not eaten, and they were placed on the small table in the cell, with a smooth porcelain plate underneath, bamboo chopsticks, vinegar, and a jug of wine beside them.

Han Shi was still on the short bed, he was wearing a white jacket, and the room inside was much colder than the outside room where the guards were resting, Yan Xiu knelt down and went to look under Han Shi's eyes, he saw that a frightening blue had appeared there Hei was confused, he gritted his teeth and asked, "What did you eat?"

Hanshi was still angry, and when he was about to speak, he felt Yan Xiu stuffed a pill into his mouth. He coughed and opened his eyes.

The man panted with difficulty and said, "Poison is incurable."

Yan Xiu's breath also trembled, and he asked him: "Why do you have the jade pendant with the word '感'?"

"It used to have a name, it was 'Ru'."

Shanyin took a few steps back to make room for a guard to come in and stand here.

"This medicine can cure all poisons." Yan Xiu said.

Hanshi said: "I can't understand it. The tooth valley is grass, the leaves are full of leaves and the stems are thin, and the heat is quenched. The sun feeds with snakes, and its saliva hits the ground, and no wood grows."

Seen from the back, Yan Xiu only had a thin, trembling back, and thin and sharp shoulders. He took off the beanie and covered it with cold food. He was still kneeling there, turned around, and said to the guards : "People are getting sick soon."

Seeing that Yan Xiu's eyes were red, the guard comforted him in a soft voice: "My lord, you don't need to panic. Your Majesty's interrogation just failed. Tomorrow will be the beginning of winter. Dumplings will be here now. We understand."

Han Shi closed his eyes again, and opened them a little with effort. The blood color faded from his face, and his whole body was stained blue and yellow. The Yan family that was brutally destroyed, and Yan Ru, are here."

The guard moved forward alertly, listening.

Yan Xiu couldn't care about the tears falling down his cheeks, he tried his best to be calm, and said: "You don't have to worry, my mother said: 'White night winds through the rain, there is no road to life.'"

"I..." Yan Ru's breath gradually slowed down, he could only inhale as hard as he could before he could speak, he whispered, "I see."

Under the blue, extremely warm bedding, Yan Xiu squeezed Yan Ru's stiff hand tightly. He didn't dare to cry bitterly, thinking that he was holding a piece of cold wood. Get the rules and regulations in this palace.

But Yan Xiu didn't have the chance to say more.

A lot of guards came, and seeing that the man was out of breath, they covered him with a white cloth and carried them away. Yan Xiu and Shan Yin stood beside him, but Yan Xiu suddenly turned around and went to the outside to climb over the box where the sundries were placed by the wall. There are some relics of Yan Ru, and the jade pendant is also there, which is the same as the one Yan Xiu has seen, only one is engraved with "漙" and the other is engraved with "Ru".

Yan Min is the father, and Yan Ru is the father's younger brother.

Yan Xiu took the jade pendant away, regardless of whether it would cause doubts, he also saw a hairpin in the shape of a hibiscus flower, but he didn't need it, so he stayed there.

The first snow disappeared in the early morning, and he took a rest in winter. Chen Bichen got up early and went to Canghua Garden to practice his sword. He wore a yellow shirt with arrow sleeves, and his hair was lightly loose.

Zhong Qingming came from not far away, and Chen Bizhen was finishing his practice. He drank the grass root soup in the cup, and the waiter said: "Your Majesty, today is the beginning of winter, and a copper pot of mutton is prepared for lunch."

Chen Bizhen nodded, turned around and said, "Chuxue can't keep it, it'll disappear as soon as I get up."

Zhong Qingming held the sword, nodded, and said, "This garden is much cleaner, today is suitable for garden party poetry."

"It's also suitable to settle some old things." Chen Bizhen stepped on the wet stone slabs under his feet, passed through the bushes here, and further forward, there was a living lake with waterside pavilions and bridges, and piled up withered lotuses underneath. leaf.

The water is a light blue-gray.

Zhong Qingming followed behind him and said, "As for the Yan family, there must be a criminal record back then, and I will look it up in the near future."

"Also look for a few people who know the situation and investigate carefully."

"Yes."

Chen Bizhen returned to the Suihua Hall, and then Zhong Huashu also arrived. A round table was set up in the room. The copper stove was light red, the charcoal fire was flickering, and the mist was rising upwards. Mushrooms, iced tofu, vegetables.

A peacock vase with famille rose and gold, with small golden osmanthus in it.

When Zhong Huashu came in, she took off the beanie and handed it to Yaxun to hold it. She put on a short magenta cape, sat by the side of the round table, and asked, "Where's the queen, why didn't you come?"

"She hasn't moved around recently, so there's no need to ask."

"Take your temper and be nice to others, and you can have a prince and princess sooner." Zhong Huashu supported the bowl to drink the hot soup served by the maid. She was born young and just right, and spoke softly, not in a hurry to advise.

Chen Bizhen sent away all the palace people here, only him and Zhong Huashu were left in the room.

"I never thought she was bad, and I never cared about her, but heirs are a matter of destiny, who can force it?"

Zhong Huashu smiled lightly, looked straight into the distance in front of him, and said, "I heard that you won't be going to Huaiqing Palace in the near future."

"The DPRK and China have been busy recently."

"Busy enough to take to the streets in micro clothes, playing with people who don't get in all day long," Zhong Huashu turned to look at him. At this time, her eyes were full of anger, and she said, "Don't forget, everyone wants You can't neglect this seat."

Chen Bichen gradually gritted his teeth and said, "I haven't played with anyone who won't enter."

"Since your majesty won't listen to my good words, that's all. You can think deeply and make up your own plans." Zhong Huashu naturally shut up, and didn't talk about it anymore. He caught it.

Chen Bichen raised his face and drank the wine in the cup. He got up, bowed to Zhong Huashu, and said, "The queen mother is here to eat quietly, and I will return later."

Therefore, Chen Bizhen and Jianfang left together, went to the Qianxing Pavilion in the Canghua Garden, and ordered the imperial dining room to prepare some exquisite wine and dishes, served by several people, and there were charcoal fire and warm couches, so they could enjoy the scenery at the window freely.

Jianfang wore dark brown arrow sleeves, which were also thick, but he was still free and easy, hiding the extreme misery in front of him. Chen Bizhen asked him to sit opposite him, and Jianfang obeyed.

"That day at King He's Mansion, did you go somewhere else in the middle of the night?" Chen Bizhen asked him.

Jianfang replied: "No."

"Can you tame a snake?"

"will not."

"Do you feel you've been slighted lately?"

After hesitating, Jianfang took a deep breath and said, "It's a blessing in my life to be able to work by your majesty's side, and I have never picked anything."

Chen Bizhen personally poured the black ginseng wine, it was poured like ink, sweet and fragrant, his blue porcelain cup was pushed to Jianfang's eyes.

"Taste it." Chen Bizhen looked sharply into Jianfang's eyes.

Chen Bizhen spoke softly, but his teeth were tight.
