Your Highness asked me to pay him back his honor

Early the next morning, Xiao Shuo entered the palace as agreed.

When Yun Lang woke up, only the old master was left outside the study to tidy up.

The old master settled the documents, heard the movement in the inner room, and knocked on the door twice: "Young Master?"

"Has he gone to see the emperor?"

Yun Lang was wearing a robe, and looked around inside and outside the house: "When did you go?"

"Yin time has just passed." The old master said, "It is said that the ancestors will be worshiped at the end of the year with the clan, and they will go for several days in a row."

This Yun Lang did know that, according to the old rule of this dynasty, at the end of the year, one should offer sacrifices to heaven and earth, and also set up altars in the palace to worship ancestors.It's just that the time and date have to be calculated by the staff of the Ministry of Rites every year, and the selection of auspicious days is not a fixed day.

Although Xiao Shuo did not spend as much time in the palace as he did, he was also carefully taught by the Taifu.There is no need to worry about the way to advance and retreat.

Yun Lang had planned with him a few times, and he had a rough idea in his mind, so he nodded and turned over the books on the table to read.

"But something is missing?"

The old master waited by the side and saw him rummaging around for a long time: "Do you need to call someone to help you find it?"

"No need." Yun Lang looked around, "I didn't see the jade pendant I was wearing when I woke up this morning, maybe it fell somewhere."

The old master was a little anxious when he heard the words: "How can I not look for this?"

There is nothing cheap about the things Young Master Yun wears, maybe it is the ancient jade from the previous dynasty, or the high-quality jadeite sent by Dali.

"what does it look like?"

The old master was worried, so he even asked someone to help him find it: "I don't know why, the house keeps throwing jade pendants lately, maybe it's—"

"Xiao Shuo always wears that." Yun Lang coughed dryly, "I look good, and I wore it for two days."

"..." The old master has led people to find the jade pendant lost by the prince for two days. Hearing this, he felt a little complicated and stood there: "That's it."

"Last night, there was no sense of proportion. It may not have fallen somewhere."

Yun Lang simply stopped looking, put on his clothes neatly, and tidied them up: "I'll go back to the medical hall first, lest Liang Taiyi come to the palace with a needle to pierce me."

"Wait a minute." The old master came back to his senses and hurriedly stopped him, "The prince ordered you not to go to the room, but the house will set up a car to take you back."

Yun Lang always felt that the carriage was slow and wobbly, and sitting on it was really exhausting.Recently, I have been riding a lot in the carriage of Prince Yan's Mansion, and I feel inexplicably very comfortable, but it's all right: "That's fine."

He was still thinking about Xiao Shuo, after thinking about it, he was not at ease: "If he comes back, send someone to tell me."

The old master was still thinking about what happened last night, looking at Yun Lang, he didn't dare to ask: "Yes."

"Also, tell him that he doesn't have to die to save face and suffer."

Yun Lang smiled and said: "It's not that I'm struggling with energy every day. He can't sleep at night. He really wants to go to the medical clinic to find me, so just go."

The old master: "... yes."

Yun Lang thought about it carefully, and everything that should be explained has been properly explained, so he was relieved: "That's all, I'm leaving."

He still had to go back to the clinic to get a stabbing, so there was no longer any delay, he got up and went out.

Walking to the door, there was a sudden commotion outside the window.

Prince Yan's mansion has always been extremely clean, and the servants have a certain amount of advance and retreat, and will not panic for no reason.Yun Lang frowned, his heart sank slightly: "What's going on?"

The old master's face also changed, and he was about to go out to ask questions, when a disgraced Xuan Tiewei hurriedly ran up to him.

"Rampage, what does it look like?"

The old master grabbed him and said, "Speak slowly!"

"Cai Taifu is here, he must enter the palace, the gatekeeper can't stop him." Xuan Tiewei could only stop, and said slowly, "Whoever stops and scolds who, scolded all the way, and now he has broken into the outside of the study..."

The old master: "..."

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Yun Lang pulled the two of them in together, and closed the door of the study tightly.

Xuan Tiewei was at a loss and stood there in a daze.Yun Lang poked someone at the door to block the door, and dragged the old master: "Clos your ears."

The old master was startled: "Why?"

"Don't worry about it." Yun Lang squatted under the window, firmly plugging his ears, "First plug it, then—"

Before the words finished, there was a loud shout from outside the window: "Xiao Shuo, come out to this old man!"

The old master couldn't react in time, he was in a trance for a while, and squatted on the ground unsteadily.

Taking advantage of the gap, Yun Lang quickly tore a piece of rice paper, crumpled it into two balls, and stuffed it tightly in his ears.

Mrs. Cai's name is Cai Buzhi. She is a master of learning and has a good reputation. Up to this dynasty, she has been the crown prince and Taifu for three generations.

The old man has already passed seventy years, but his body is still very strong.Ascending to the throne today, I wanted to serve as an official to support my life, but was still sincerely invited by the emperor several times, and was awarded the vain title of a bachelor, and stayed in Tianzhang Pavilion.

Yunlang studied with Xiao Shuo in the palace when he was young, and he was taught by the old lady Fu.At that time, there was not much rest in the academy, a group of young princes and grandchildren were making a fuss, the old man never gave the Tian family's blood any face, and a single voice could stun most of them.

"Block the door tightly." Yun Lang was very familiar with Cai Taifu since he was a child, fighting wits and courage, "No matter what you say, you must never open it. film……"

"Open the door!" Taifu Cai said angrily, "I won't beat you!"

Xuan Tiewei: "..."

Xuan Tiewei didn't dare to speak, and blocked the door tightly.

"Seeing that you lost your parents when you were young, the old man never disciplined you for a while... just let you torment!"

Cai Taifu blocked the door, and sternly reprimanded: "You say you hate the Yun family, I think you are telling others. Your behavior is ridiculous, I think you are hiding your strength and hiding your strength. You are chasing the Yun family boy everywhere. Your name is to seek revenge, but in fact you are thinking about old feelings and secretly trying to save his life!"

"The old man always thinks that he knows you and understands you, so he let you do whatever you want."

Cai Taifu was furious: "But I don't want to ignore you for a while, and overestimate you!"

Yun Lang walked slowly, and was stuck in the study, squatting under the window with complicated mind and body: "Teacher these years...hasn't he yelled that in other places?"

"No, no." The old master hurriedly shook his head, "Teacher Cai has been ignoring worldly affairs in Tianzhang Pavilion all these years. Today, he has ordered several times to ask the tutor to teach the two princes, but he always reprimanded him as 'old and old, Declined on the grounds of powerlessness."

"That's good……"

Yun Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "If we yelled like this in the palace, the two of us don't have to make a fuss, we just hide our names and run for our lives."

"No." The old master was taken aback, "The sky is big and the earth is big, where can I escape to?"

"The sky is big and the earth is big, there is nowhere to go."

Yun Lang got up in hiding, glanced out through the crack of the door, and whispered to the old master: "Hold on for a while, I'll jump out of the window..."

"Don't even think about jumping out of the window, the old man knows you're inside!"

Taifu Cai was so angry that his hair turned white: "Before you squatted down, the old man saw your shadow on the window!"

Yun Lang: "..."

The old master: "..."

"The old man originally thought that even though you said those harsh words, you actually cared about the kid from the Yun family more than anyone else!"

Cai Taifu was furious, and blocked the door firmly: "But you are so cruel, you beat him to a pulp!!"

The old man was so angry that his hands shook: "I never imagined that you are such a cruel, merciless and chaotic person! The family changes in the past made you be confused by hatred, so confused..."

Seeing himself getting worse and worse from being broken into one, Yun Lang suddenly understood what it means to be a tiger by three people, and his mood became more and more complicated: "Will I become stuffed buns next time?"

"Don't say it." The old master waved his hands hurriedly, "You live a long life, how can you be stuffed with stuffed buns?"

Yun Lang sighed, looked down at the clothes on his body, they were neatly arranged, and concentrated on pushing the palace for blood, making his complexion look better.

The old master looked at him, a little uneasy: "Do you want to see the Taifu? Is it inappropriate to show up at this time..."

"There's nothing wrong with it." Yun Lang twitched the corner of his mouth, "If you tell the old man to scold Xiao Shuo so blatantly, the little prince doesn't care what he listens to. I've heard it, and I'm going to die of pain."

The old master was stunned for a moment, looked at him, and felt a pang in his heart: "Thank you... Thank you very much."

"Thank you for what you said." Yun Lang exhaled, motioned for Xuan Tiewei to open the door, and bowed to salute, "Teacher——"

Cai Taifu was training to the fierce place, when he saw people coming out, he didn't even look at them, he pulled his left hand over and hit the palm of his hand hard with a ruler.

Yun Lang: "..."

Mrs. Cai spoke harshly, and wanted to reprimand again, when he raised his head: "..."

With paper balls stuffed in his ears, the old master poured tea slowly: "Sit down."

Yun Lang was not only scolded for Xiao Wangye, but also took a ruler, looked at the palm of his hand, feeling quite nostalgic: "After so many years, your old skill has not diminished..."

"What—what's going on?" Cai Taifu held him firmly, looked up and down several times, "How did you escape from death?"

"You don't need to listen to what Prince Jing brings you."

Yun Lang helped him to sit down, and explained in a good voice: "I'm fine, I was not tortured by King Yan, Xiao Shuo snatched me back from the execution ground a few days ago, and hid me in the mansion, the two of us—"

Taifu Cai turned a deaf ear to him, looked at him repeatedly, trembled a few times, and reached out to touch Yunlang's forehead.

Yun Lang opened his mouth, his eyes turned red suddenly, he lowered his head and smiled, and knelt down in front of his knees.

Mrs. Cai tugged a few times, but failed to lift him up, and kept Yun Lang tightly in front of his eyes, tears streaming down his face.

The study was so quiet that a needle could be heard, the old master poured tea, quietly pulled Xuan Tiewei away, and carefully closed the door.

"Look, I'm alive."

Still smiling, Yun Lang knelt on the ground and wiped away tears for the old man: "Don't scold Xiao Shuo, he won't be able to stand scolding anymore."

"The old man never knew..."

Taifu Cai couldn't go on talking, he gritted his teeth and tugged at him: "What are you kneeling for? Get up."

"Teach me a lesson, I'll listen for him." Yun Lang said warmly, "I've worried you a lot these years."

"Teach me a lesson, when did you learn to kneel and listen to a lesson!" Mrs. Cai glared at him, "It's cold on the ground, how are you doing now? Don't be willful—"

"The two of us... have nothing to kneel down as elders."

Yun Lang said softly, "Let me kneel down for a while, it will make me feel better."

Taifu Cai's hands trembled, he looked at him with red eyes for a while, and sighed heavily.

Yun Lang looked at the old man's white beard, lifted the corner of his mouth, took two steps on his knees, and offered him a cup of tea.

"How do you know it was King Jing who spoke?"

Mrs. Cai took the tea and took a sip: "That kid Xiao Cuo was in a hurry. He talked about this with the old man, and he only said that you were beaten into a meat paste and sent to the Chengxi Medical Center. The old man didn't believe it at first..."

"Today, I saw the same clan of King Yan offering sacrifices to the ancestors, and I was quite favored."

Yun Lang said: "You have doubts in your heart, and you asked around in the palace, didn't you?"

"It seems that this matter... is also settled by the two of you."

Cai Taifu finally figured it out, and angrily said: "You two are planning the court, why don't you ask the old man for help?"

"Planning the court, naturally you have to do something shady." Yun Lang smiled wryly: "You are a celebrity today, with a full family reputation, why bother—"

Taifu Cai held up the ruler: "Come on, say one more vain bastard."

"..." Yun Lang sighed, and said truthfully, "I'm afraid you will scold me."

"If I don't scold him first to let go of my anger, I will definitely scold you severely."

Cai Taifu nodded Yun Lang's head fiercely: "Why are you so overwhelmed? Huh? You are only so old, and your family, country, and world will desperately carry it on your shoulders. Is that what you carry?"

Yun Lang let him teach him a lesson, bowed his head and smiled without speaking.

"If the late emperor had been here one after another, it must be—"

Mrs. Cai sighed: "Okay, you haven't knelt enough, the old man has seen enough."

Cai Taifu forced people to stand up: "Sit down and tell what you plan to do. If there is any concealment, each person will hit the ruler fifty times."

Yun Lang felt a burning pain in his palm, and hid it in his sleeve: "Don't dare."

"There are things in this world that you dare not do?" Taifu Cai scolded coldly, "Is it because I am afraid that the old man has changed his mind over the years and went to help the current emperor to deal with you?"

With many years of teacher-student friendship, Yun Lang would not be so conscientious, shaking his head and said: "Of course not, it's just—"

Yun Lang: "..."

Yun Lang looked at the ruler that Taifu Cai held up high, and swallowed his words back: "The current situation in the court is gloomy, and today's fear is so high, you can only retreat but not advance, and there is no way out."

Now the two of them have too little foundation in the palace, and they just stick to it so they don't get involved with others, but they have picked everyone else out, but I'm afraid it will be difficult to go on.

Taifu Cai has a long-standing reputation, and his life is no longer something the emperor can easily touch. If he is really implicated, he will just go to court and go back to seclusion, which is not a bad thing for the old man.

Yun Lang sat quietly for a while, collected his mind, picked out the main points of what Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry said, and said it roughly.

"You can't ignore this matter, but you can't ask the minister of the Ministry of Industry to come forward."

Yun Lang said slowly: "If you don't care about it, once you come to the most benevolent place under the emperor's feet, you will ask people to plot assassinations time and time again, but the court will be powerless. Such weakness will definitely attract foreign enemies to surround you. Back then, Rong Di's chaos in the capital was only a matter of time. I'm afraid it will happen again."

"Secondly... now, the emperor can't have any accidents."

Yun Lang took the teapot and refilled the teacup for the Taifu: "Now the emperor has just ascended the throne for a year, if something happens, the court situation will definitely be turbulent. If the court situation is turbulent, the border will be chaotic."

"Now the northern border is restless. Except for me who can lead the army to meet the enemy, there is no one in the court..."

Yun Lang was silent for a while, then lowered his head and smiled: "I have selfish intentions in this matter. In the face of a national crisis, I hesitated because of my own selfish desires... so I am ashamed to tell you. If you want to punish, please use another hand to hit."

Cai Taifu sat quietly for a long time, and sighed: "You should have been a good general on the battlefield all your life, but now you are forced to understand these disputes between courts and courts, which is the shame of the country."

Yun Lang smiled: "I will be a good general on the battlefield all my life."

Cai Taifu's eyes trembled, he looked at him for a while, and said no more: "Forget it, don't mention this matter again."

Yun Lang lowered his head and replied yes in a warm voice.

"Now you are trying to win the trust of the emperor, so that the emperor feels that Xiao Shuo is the only one available in the imperial family."

Cai Taifu said: "Is this useful to the old man?"

Yun Lang was still thinking about this matter over and over again, after hearing the words, he pondered for a while, then said after a moment of silence: "Would the Grand Tutor be willing to come out of the mountain again to teach the current princes and relatives?"

"A bunch of wood." Taifu Cai pulled his face, "I am too lazy to teach."

"Because it's a bunch of logs."

Yun Lang smiled: "The emperor now has two princes, both of whom are mediocre. Now that the emperor is in his prime and has just ascended the throne, they have no time to start the idea of ​​fighting for the reserve, and they have never started recruiting staff."

"Isn't this just right?" Taifu Cai asked blankly, "Everyone in the palace doesn't know that their qualifications are mediocre—"

"The emperor doesn't know yet."

Yun Lang was quiet, and slowly said: "My child, even if he knows, he always feels that he is just not enlightened yet."

Yun Lang lightly clenched his fists: "Unless, this mediocre conclusion is made by you..."

Mrs. Cai thought for a moment, and suddenly realized, he punched his palm: "Exactly."

"I won't delay here with you. The old man said he wanted the Pope's son and clan when he returned."

Taifu Cai got up in a hurry: "Teach them for a few days, then go and scold them for being a bunch of lumber, unbearable... Let the emperor know that Xiao Shuo is the only smart guy in this group of clansmen."

Yun Lang twitched the corner of his mouth lightly, but still lowered his eyes, sitting quietly by the table.

"What else can you think about?" Taifu Cai looked at him, "Do you still hesitate about your idea?"

"Now that the government is in turmoil, it may not be a bad thing to be branded a mediocre person and temporarily not make his debut."

Yun Lang shook his head and smiled: "I just—"

Yun Lang pressed his chest without any trace, took a light breath, and exhaled slowly: "Teacher, I really want to go back and fight a quick battle."

Cai Taifu stood by the table, looked at him, and slowly frowned.

"It's nothing but hypocrisy." Yun Lang smiled, "There is a carriage at the house to take you back."

"Let's go with the old man. The old man has to go to the doctor's clinic of Liang Taiyi first, and ask how your body is doing now."

Taifu Cai looked at him with a stern face: "I keep everything in my heart, and I don't even think about how that kid Xiao Shuo will live alone if you become ill from depression."

Yun Lang coughed dryly: "That's not what you said when you came here, and you still think Xiao Shuo beat me to a pulp..."

Taifu Cai was furious and raised the ruler in his hand.

"..." Yun Lang could bend and stretch: "You taught me well."

"Aren't you just being detained here thinking about this all day long, feeling unhappy and wanting to fight with someone?"

Mrs. Cai couldn't figure out what was so difficult about this kind of thing: "Bring a pen and paper."

Yun Lang vaguely had some ominous premonition: "What are you doing?"

"The old man wants to take you away, I can't wait for him to return home."

Taifu Cai said in a deep voice, "Leave him a note."

Yun Lang swallowed dryly, hugged the table and shook his head: "I don't."

"Be quick." Cai Taifu raised his eyebrows coldly, "Don't dawdle!"

Yun Lang knew it was definitely not a good word, and would rather die than surrender: "No."

Cai Taifu is a good teacher, well versed in the principle that there is no one to teach, and he raised the ruler in his hand with spring breeze and rain.

Yun Lang: "..."

Yun Lang made a move, got up and took the pen and paper, wrote each word according to Cai Taifu's instruction, and put it on the most eye-catching place on the table.

Mrs. Cai was in a hurry to go to the medical clinic, and instead of asking the palace to take care of the meals, he carried him into the carriage and hurried away.

It was past noon when Xiao Shuo came back from the palace.

The clan family had to go through the Daqing Hall to worship their ancestors. When they passed the Taiping Building, Xiao Shuo secretly tripped him, causing the eldest prince Xiao Hong to step on the ground, fall a dozen times, and accidentally knocked open the secret door.

Xiao Hong's nose was bruised and his face was swollen from the fall, and he was out of breath, and immediately wanted to reprimand the front secretary in charge of the guard.After going on for a long time, even Jin Wuwei also attracted them.

Xiao Shuo watched with cold eyes, waiting for things to get serious.According to Yun Lang's instructions, he found Chang Ji, the right general of the Jinwu Guard, said a few words, and completed the matter without a trace.

There is no response from the palace yet, but it won't be too long, and there will be an echo in about a day or two.

Now that the matter has come to this point, the two of them need to discuss how to deal with it next.

Xiao Shuo got off the sedan chair and went back to the mansion, and went all the way into the study: "Young Master, have you returned to the medical clinic?"

"Going back." The old master hurriedly said, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Shuo nodded lightly.

He slept well last night, and when he woke up, he saw Yunlang sleeping peacefully, and went to the palace to mediate for half a day, but he didn't feel too hard.

Xiao Shuo touched the jade pendant in his sleeve, took the tea, and took a sip: "Prepare the car."

"There is no more car." The old master said in a sly voice, "The car was taken away by Mrs. Cai, who said Dawan horse-drawn cart was a waste of money."

Xiao Shuo frowned: "Teacher Cai has been here? What did you say?"

The old master lowered his head, not daring to speak.

"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything, the left and right are here to scold me."

Xiao Shuo said calmly, "What did you say?"

"Cai Taifu didn't stay... But the young master did."

The old master picked up the piece of paper on the table for him, tremblingly: "Would you like to see it?"

Xiao Shuo failed to take good care of Yun Lang, and didn't want to see the Grand Tutor, so he was a little annoyed for a while: "Nian."

The old master slowly persuaded: "You look good..."

"The family is reading a note now, are you afraid that the walls will have ears?" Xiao Shuo became agitated, "Read! Louder."

The old master also wanted to persuade: "You..."

Xiao Shuo lost his patience, looked up with a sinking expression.

"Young master said."

The old master quickly picked up the note and said word for word: "If he doesn't come to our house to sleep a few times, the most cherished thing will be gone."

Xiao Shuo: "..."

"What?!" Xiao Shuo frowned, "When will he—"

Based on the situation at the time, the old director felt that the "most cherished thing" that Taifu Cai forced Yunlang to write should be the unrestrained, pure, and open-mindedness of leading the army.

But Xiaohou Yun didn't write it clearly, and the old master didn't dare to add annotations, so he recited in his heart: "I am unwilling, and I am unhappy."

Xiao Shuo: "..."

"Decided... to fight with you."

The old master had a lot of thoughts: "It will be scheduled tonight when the moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night is quiet."

Xiao Shuo pressed the center of his eyebrows hard, took a deep breath, and exhaled with force: "Where is it?"

The old master Bo Nana: "My lord, you—"

For no reason, Xiao Shuo was suspected of "taking away the most cherished things from Young Master Yun while Young Master Yun was asleep", so he raised his eyes in a cold air.

The old master trembled and closed his eyes: "The medical center..."

Xiao Shuo said in a deep voice, "Finish!"

The old master: "On the couch."

Xiao Shuo sat at the table without moving for a while, then suddenly got up and went into the inner room.

The old master didn't dare to make a sound, and lay at the door in suspense, watching helplessly as Xiao Xiao Wang Ye firmly pressed the pillow made by the princess himself with Yun Lang's name embroidered on the couch.

Without making a sound, he gritted his teeth and gave the 360th seventh meal of the year.
