Taiping Xun'an
Chapter 1 (5)
What do you think about this matter? "
"You mean the donation?" "Here is the ledger, let's look at it first. The immediate task is to resettle the people and prevent the plague."
"Your Highness is very right." Ye Bai smiled slightly, "I wonder if Your Highness is safe to handle things?"
"I'm always at ease with you."
"That's good." Ye Bai said, "I want to go to those four counties with Li Junshou to check the situation in the future, and His Highness will stay here to check the other five counties. "
"Poor mountains and bad waters, and a disaster area, and I don't know what kind of person this county guard is, how can you make me feel at ease!"
"Your Highness, we shouldn't waste any more time." Ye Bai frowned and said, "It's really inappropriate to leave Beijing at this time, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Alright, let Thirteen follow you."
"Absolutely not!" Ye Bai immediately refused: "Your Highness's safety is more important than anything else!"
"I still have fourteen!"
"Fourteen is no better than thirteen..."
"I need Fourteen to do more for me."
Knowing that he couldn't change Xia Yangzheng's decision, Ye Bai had no choice but to let it go, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xia Yangzheng suddenly stepped forward and held Ye Bai's arm with both hands, "You just wanted to kneel down for me, didn't you?"
"With such grace, why don't you want to kneel?" Ye Bai smiled.
"It's getting late at night, just rest here with me, so we can go out together tomorrow morning."
Ye Bai thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Chapter 14
At dawn the next day, the two were woken up by the rooster crowing.Ye Bai tidied himself up and saw Xia Yangzheng was still sitting on the bed looking unconscious, he went to shake him awake, intending to ask Cuiyu to come in to wash and comb Xia Yangzheng's hair, but Xia Yangzheng stopped him by yawning: "Come and help me!" I'm fine, let's hurry up and go out."
After Ye Bai combed Xia Yangzheng's hair, dressed and tied his belt, Cuiyu came to knock on the door.
"Is Your Highness going out?" Cuiyu held the breakfast food in her hands, and the maidservant behind her held hot water for washing and new clothes.
"Ah."
"Do you still have breakfast?" Cuiyu put the tray on the table outside.
"Just prepare four buns for each of us."
"Yes."
The two walked around Pingchuan early in the morning, and it seemed that the sheriff was still doing his duty.
After Ye Bai left, Xia Yangzheng visited the victims during the day, and checked the county guard's ledger and the ledgers of the five counties at night.Seeing that Xia Yangzheng cared so much about the sufferings of the people, Du Fang had no choice but to change his view of Xia Yangzheng: this person usually behaves disrespectfully, but his heart is still good.
When Xia Yangzheng was walking along the street with Du Fang that day, Du Fang suddenly realized that someone was staring at them, and the person who came was not good!He pulled Xia Yangzheng away and dodged aside, and then two arrows swished out from behind.
Du Fang dragged Xia Yangzheng to the post station while shielding the arrow.
"Where are your guards?" Du Fang turned to ask Xia Yangzheng.
"Beep—" Xia Yangzheng blew his whistle and called for guards.
"You can't do it anymore?" Xia Yangzheng laughed, but suddenly saw an arrow flying towards Du Fang, and pulled Du Fang past him in a hurry, but unexpectedly, he shifted his position slightly and was shot to the left by the arrow of the scapula.
Du Fang was moved by Xia Yangzheng without knowing why, and before he had time to question, he saw Xia Yangzheng was shot by an arrow, and then realized that he was trying to block the arrow for himself, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, patrolling guards came from all directions to help, and the two returned to the station quickly. There were too many guards in the station, and those people did not dare to follow.It just so happened that Li Mochun had just returned not long ago, so he immediately injured Xia Yang politically.
After cleaning Xia Yangzheng's wound and applying medicine, Li Mochun went to cook the medicine after dressing the wound.
"This is the first time I've blocked arrows for someone, and others have always blocked arrows for me." Xia Yangzheng looked at Du Fang and said, "I never thought I would block arrows for you."
In fact, this was also the first time Du Fang felt that other than his family, other people cared about him so much, and the warmth in his heart made him unable to calm down.
"I don't think you know how to face me, you can go and be quiet by yourself." Xia Yangzheng smiled.
Du Fang gave Xia Yangzheng a suspicious look and went out.After a while, Li Mochun also came in with the medicine.
"He is somewhat similar to Huafu."
"Really?" Xia Yangzheng said, but he knew in his heart that they were not alike at all, except at first glance that they felt that they were the same kind of people.
Li Mochun didn't speak, and handed the medicine to Xia Yangzheng.
Du Fang was trying his best to calm down his mood. He never imagined that Xia Yangzheng would block the arrow for him.Ever since she was alone, she had nothing to worry about, and this feeling of being protected has never been felt since the death of her parents.Ye Bai is also nice to him, but will he be nice enough to block arrows for him?He didn't know either, but he knew that Xia Yangzheng was kind to him.
After calming down, Du Fang knocked on Xia Yangzheng's door.
"I heard that you have hidden guards. Why didn't you let them help?" Du Fang asked.
"How do you know?" Xia Yangzheng was a little strange, although Du Fang was good at martial arts, but his martial arts skills would not let Du Fang find out?
"The prince said it." Du Fang resolutely revealed the truth.
"You..." Xia Yangzheng was shocked, not who sent Du Fang, but why did he just reveal his true identity?
"Since you already know it, don't beat around the bush." Du Fang glanced at him lightly.
"You, haha!" Xia Yangzheng laughed, "How can you be so funny?"
Du Fang blushed and didn't speak.Xia Yangzheng knew that this was Du Fang's usual posture, so he smiled and said to himself: "Is that why you do things for my brother?"
"As long as I have something to do for him." Du Fang was even more disdainful.
"How do I know if you have any intentions for me?" Xia Yangzheng asked with a half-smile.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
After being silent for a while, Xia Yangzheng smiled softly and said, "How could I not believe you."
Xia Yangzheng's words stirred in Du Fang's heart, and he heard him say: "Fourteen!"
"The subordinate is here." Fourteen appeared and answered.
"This is my hidden guard, called Fourteen."
Du Fang looked at this person he had never noticed before, and felt a little nervous.
"Is it okay?" Xia Yangzheng asked with a smile.
Du Fang stopped talking again, and Xia Yangzheng waved his hand to let Fourteen leave.
A few days later, I have been in Pingchuan for more than a month.Xia Yangzheng looked at the ledgers of these five counties, and the ledgers of the four counties sent by Ye Bai, but found no problems. It seems that the people above were really greedy for the money.
Xia Yangzheng sighed, Ye Bai should be back!Thinking about the time mentioned in Ye Bai's letter, thinking that he will be back soon.
Dusk had already dyed the sky, and only then did someone come to announce that Ye Bai had arrived.Hearing that Ye Bai was back, Xia Yangzheng wanted to rush to pick him up, but at this moment he received a letter from Feige from Wang He.
It turns out that the death of the third brother is really related to the queen!Xia Yangzheng turned around from the window after reading the letter, and immediately wrote a letter on the table, asking Dong Zhongting and Wang He to try their best to find witnesses, regardless of coercion or temptation!After finishing writing, tell Fourteen to send the letter back to the capital.
After finishing, Xia Yangzheng shouted outside: "Little Fuzi!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go and call Huafu."
"Young Master Ye, he went to check on the disaster and hasn't come back yet."
Xia Yangzheng frowned unconsciously and said: "Didn't he just come back, and went out to see what kind of disaster is happening again? Tell him to come to me when he comes back."
"Yes." Zhou Xiaofu said respectfully.
"Where's Du Fang?"
"I'm here." Du Fang walked out from the door.
"Why are you standing outside the door? You don't want to consume your internal strength like this, do you?"
Just as Du Fang wanted to say that it was not cold, Xia Yangzheng interrupted him: "It's still cold in spring!"
When Ye Bai came back to report to Xia Yangzheng, Xia Yangzheng had already fallen asleep lying on the table, and Du Fang was watching not far from the house.Ye Bai secretly sighed, is it Luo Hua You Qing Liu Shui Wu Wu Wu?
He opened the closet and took out a cloak and put it on Xia Yangzheng, then smiled and said to Du Fang: "Can you come out and talk to me?"
Du Fang nodded slightly in agreement.
"Brother Du has never liked anyone before, right?"
The blush faded as soon as it hit the face.
Seeing this, Ye Bai smiled like that, "I think you like the Second Highness a little bit."
"No..." Du Fang had no choice but to look at Ye Bai's smile and say "impossible", so he swallowed it back.Then after a little thought, he slowly said: "Maybe a little bit."
"When you liked me back then, you could warm your hands and dance your sword for me. Why can't you do anything now that your Highness is here?"
"I, you...you know?" Du Fang became flustered all of a sudden, and the most annoying thing was a teenager.
Ye Bai smiled, but didn't speak.
"I don't know." Du Fang was also puzzled.
"Maybe you have your concerns. However, no matter how much love you have, if there is no warmth in return, it will eventually dissipate." Ye Bai suddenly became serious, "Treat Your Highness well."
"Do you like Xia Yangzheng?"
"You're joking." Ye Bai smiled lightly, and then said: "Go back, when His Highness wakes up, tell him that I have fallen asleep for me, and we will talk about things tomorrow."
Du Fang returned to Xia Yangzheng's room, sat on a chair and looked at the sleeping Xia Yangzheng.
After a while Xia Yangzheng woke up, the clothes on his body slipped off, he reached out to grab the clothes, looked around and saw Du Fang still sitting there looking at him, so he asked with sleepiness and doubts: "You Clothes to cover me?"
Du Fang glanced at the cloak and said nothing.
"Thank you!" This was the first time Du Fang heard Xia Yangzheng thanking someone.Seeing the smile on Xia Yangzheng's face, Du Fang thought maybe he likes him, maybe he needs to treat him better?
Chapter 15
The next day, Xia Yangzheng discovered something was wrong with Du Fang.When he looked up tired after reading the copy, Du Fang put a cup of tea on the desk, and Xia Yangzheng picked it up and drank it flattered.In the evening, he felt a little cold. Du Fang slapped him on the back, scaring Xia Yangzheng into thinking that he was going to die young. He didn't know that Du Fang was protecting him from the cold until he felt a warm current flow into his body.
"What's the matter with you?"
Du Fang glanced at Xia Yangzheng and turned his head away.After all, they have been together for so long. Although the expression on his face did not fluctuate, Xia Yangzheng could sense Du Fang's mood swings.
"Are you embarrassed?" Xia Yangzheng laughed when he noticed Du Fang's unnaturalness.
After a while, Du Fang asked, "Do you like me?"
Xia Yangzheng thought it was a little funny, didn't he listen to what he kept saying?Holding a strange tone, he asked back: "You just found out today?"
"Then I will treat you well in the future." Du Fang suddenly threw out such a sentence and left, leaving Xia Yangzheng to ponder.
After working for a long time, Xia Yangzheng remembered that Ye Bai was back, and hurried to look for him, but in vain.
"Where's the person?" Xia Yangzheng was a little sullen.
"Young Master Ye, he went out soon after dawn." Xiao Si in the yard said respectfully.
"What's the matter?" You didn't know how to come and report to me first.
"Young master went to the shelter in the south yesterday, and encountered a public complaint, so it made sense, and today the past good deeds."
Xia Yangzheng had no choice but to give up and went back to his room to continue reading the copy.Ye Bai didn't come back until noon, leading a woman with him.
"Who is this woman?"
"It's the orphan girl I saw on the road."
"You took someone back when you saw someone on the avenue?"
"There's something going on inside." Ye Bai smiled awkwardly.
"There's really nothing I can do about you." Xia Yangzheng said helplessly after glancing at the woman.
"Gu Mu, take Ayu to wash up."
"Yes, young master." Gu Mu replied and led the woman down.
"It seems that you are in good spirits these days."
"You know what? Du Fang seems to like me."
"Really? It's so nice." Ye Bai smiled slightly.
Xia Yangzheng was depressed, a little happy and a little depressed.
"What happened all of a sudden?" Sensing Xia Yangzheng's little emotion, Ye Bai asked.
"You...it's nothing." Xia Yangzheng couldn't speak, so he gave up and changed the subject, "Didn't you report to me first when you came back?"
"The grassroots are guilty, please punish your Highness." Ye Bai immediately made a gesture of pleading guilty.
"I was joking with you!" Xia Yangzheng looked at him angrily.
"I do my best for His Highness, and I don't believe His Highness will punish me." Ye Bai laughed.
Seeing the other party's smile, Xia Yangzheng was not bored anymore, and laughed along with him.The disaster relief work has almost been completed, and the damaged dams are about to be repaired, and they will be able to return to Beijing soon.
It's been a long time since he smiled so brightly, but it caused Xia Yangzheng's unhealed injury.
"what happened?"
"Slightly injured."
Xia Yangzheng told Ye Bai the reason, Ye Bai frowned: "It seems that the prince's situation is not very good,"
"Indeed, Wang He and the others wrote to me and told me to be careful."
"Everything is almost done, when does His Highness plan to return to Beijing?"
"In another month."
"I hope this month can be passed in peace." Ye Bai smiled slightly.
In April, Xia Yangzheng and the others were still out in Pingchuan when they had free time. They should have known the good news that they had written to Beijing a few days ago.However, news of the prince's death came from Beijing at this time. Xia Yangzheng and others were all worried, and wrote a letter to prepare to return to Beijing.
At this time, in the pepper hall of Queen Suianjing, the queen was sad because of the loss of her beloved son.
Since the crown prince died of illness, Xia Yangzheng made great achievements in water control, and the civil and military officials of the whole court praised him unceasingly. No matter how much she tried, the emperor did not let go of asking her youngest son Xia Yang to succeed him as the crown prince.She is too resentful, too hateful!
"This bitch, I've wanted her life for a long time! I just endured it to see how long she can be favored, to see how she laughs and cries when she sees a newcomer like me. But, today I can't tolerate her! Let her son come to me with arrogance!" The queen said fiercely, clenched her hands even tighter, Dan Kou was as red as if her palms were stained with blood, "Put this medicine in her food, I will Let her die in an ugly way!"
Concubine Wan Gui died just like that, just seven days after the death of the prince.
"His Royal Highness, Concubine Wan Gui is dead!"
Xia Yangzheng was in a daze after hearing the words of the old eunuch who came all the way to deliver the decree, "What did you say?"
"Imperial Concubine, Concubine Wan Gui, she is dead! Your Highness!"
"I want to go back to Beijing, I want to see it with my own eyes!" After saying that, he took the imperial decree and got on the horse and rushed to the capital, followed closely by the servants behind him.Du Fang was also frightened. Looking at Xia Yangzheng's figure, he was a little worried, and caught up with Xia Yangzheng with his horse and whip.The steward immediately ordered the servants to pack their bags and hurry up, and then rushed to the outskirts of the city to inform Ye Bai.Li Mochun couldn't go back to Beijing without the order to return to Beijing, so Ye Bai had to pack up and take Gu Mu with him and then rushed to the capital.
Xia Yangzheng had knelt in front of Concubine Wan Gui's coffin for three hours without a single grain of rice.Du Fang couldn't help feeling sad looking at Xia Yangzheng's lonely back. "Cry, I will guard this palace for you, and I will tell you if anyone approaches." Du Fang pressed Xia Yangzheng's shoulder, turned around, walked out of the palace gate and jumped onto the roof.But after two moments, Du Fang still didn't hear anything, so he had no choice but to give up and go back to the palace gate, guarding him, standing not far behind Xia Yangzheng, watching him and Concubine Wan Gui's coffin.
Concubine Wan Gui was really dead, and the queen finally dealt with it cruelly.
Ye Bai and his party arrived in the capital but couldn't enter the palace, no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait outside.It was not until Xia Yangzheng fainted in front of the coffin that Du Fang took him out of the palace to the post station.Today, it didn't say that Xia Yangzheng could return to the palace, but that he was allowed to return to Beijing to see his biological mother for the last time, so Xia Yangzheng still had to live in the inn outside the palace.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Ye Bai, Wang He and others waiting not far from the palace gate.Only then did Du Fang realize that he had neglected his duties and failed to send a safe signal to everyone.
"Mother Concubine!" Xia Yangzheng shouted as soon as he opened his eyes, but he heard a soft voice beside him calling him, softly: "Zhihua!"
"Huafu?" The panic on Xia Yangzheng's face dissipated immediately, and he grabbed Ye Bai's hand tightly as if he had caught a life-saving grass. "Huafu, do you know? I had a nightmare, me, I dreamed of me The concubine mother is dead. I am so unfilial!"
"Zhihua..."
"No, you can't lie to me!" Seeing the mournful look in Ye Bai's eyes, Xia Yangzheng couldn't help shaking his head in denial.
"Zhihua, you, your mother concubine is indeed dead, this is not a dream."
"No! You lied to me!" Xia Yangzheng yelled at Ye Bai when the life-saving grass was cut off, "I trust you the most and get closest to you, but you want to lie to me!"
With a "bang", Ye Bai punched the railing of the bed with a fist, and said ruthlessly, "Your mother and concubine are dead!" How dare you curse my concubine mother?"
Chapter 16
Before Ye Bai could react, Xia Yangzheng slapped him heavily on the side of his waist, causing his blood to surge up in pain.But he firmly grasped Xia Yangzheng's hand, "Zhihua, cheer up! Death cannot be resurrected..."
"Get out! I don't want to see you!" Xia Yangzheng shouted, shaking off Ye Bai's hand.
Ye Bai wanted to get close to him, but he waved his sleeve to block him, "Why don't you get out! Where's Du Fang? Call Du Fang, you go away!"
Ye Bai looked a little sad, and he went out of the room and said to Du Fang under the tree in the courtyard: "Du Fang, if you can persuade him, please persuade him. If you can't, you can fight him, just don't hurt him too much." Heavy."
After Du Fang entered, Ye Bai had been listening outside the door, and sure enough, he heard the sound of a move after a while.Ye Bai believed in Du Fang, so he was only worried about Xia Yangzheng's mood and not whether he was injured.
Du Fang came out after a while, "How?" Ye Bai was a little worried at this moment.
"He is too disobedient, and his martial arts is not too bad, so I fixed his acupoints." Du Fang disagreed.
"He lost his mother and was murdered by a traitor, why doesn't he feel sad and resentful?" Ye Bai said in awe, "It's strange that you have an affair with the queen and he didn't take precautions against you."
"You didn't guard against me!" Du Fang pointed out.
"He has hidden guards, so I don't need to worry too much. It's just you, after all, it's different..." Ye Bai smiled wryly.
"Your Highness, my condolences!" Ye Bai sat on the stool beside the bed and said to Xia Yangzheng who was lying on the bed after getting acupuncture points.
Xia Yangzheng was speechless, Ye Bai looked at Du Fang.
"Just now he said that if I didn't relieve his acupoints, he would bite his tongue and hurt himself. I had no choice but to acupoint the dumb acupoints." Du Fang looked at Xia Yangzheng and explained.
Ye Bai nodded and asked Du Fang to wait outside. Du Fang looked at Xia Yangzheng with some worry and left without saying anything.
"Don't be so angry, you've just finished your grief and you're too angry!" Ye Bai looked at Xia Yangzheng's red eyes and said, "Body and skin, give it to your parents. If you don't care about your mother, you will be sad!"
Xia Yangzheng's red eyes finally shed tears when he closed them.
"You said that my mother likes my song "Jiyue" very much, and she even wrote lyrics for it to sing."
"Pull the clouds and see the bright moon again, it's time to miss it. Don't let the breath return, the road ahead will be more and more sad. On a cool night, I will give willow leaves. When the moon is in the past, lightly illuminate the sorrows of the people and say goodbye..." Ye Bai slowly uttered the words, This phrase just fits the current situation.Xia Yangzheng really couldn't stop his tears now, even though he couldn't move, he began to cry silently.
Ye Bai sat by the bed and wiped away Xia Yangzheng's tears with a towel, and asked Shisan to relieve Xia Yangzheng's acupuncture points.
Xia Yangzheng moved towards Ye Bai after unblocking the acupoints, clutched his clothes tightly, covered his face and suppressed sobbing, Ye Bai also had tears in his eyes when he saw Xia Yangzheng like this.
In the end, Xia Yangzheng fell asleep in grief.Ye Bai took a while to pull the clothes out of Xia Yangzheng's hands, and wanted to go back to his room and change into clean clothes.
When I went outside, I saw Du Fang leaning on the railing and looking at the moon. I remembered that Du Fang's father had just passed away.
"Brother Du, do you think of your father?" Du Fang turned to look at Ye Bai and then continued to look at the moon.
Du Fang didn't want to talk and Ye Bai didn't stop to change clothes.
Xia Yangzheng has been in a stable mood for ten days since this night, and finally finished the funeral of his mother and concubine.I went back to the post station and lay on the bed. I was silent for a long time, and I kept lying there. It was dark, and the room without candles was pitch black.
"Squeak—" Someone opened the door and came in, and the candle in that person's hand was as bright as beans.It seemed that he wanted to light the candles in the house, but Xia Yangzheng quickly stopped him: "Don't light the lamp! I want to sleep."
The man didn't light the lamp, but walked over with the weak lamp in his hand, the man stretched out his hand to caress his face, Xia Yangzheng recognized this hand, slender and white, with knuckles. "A little hot, have you been drinking?" That worried tone, those warm words, those water-like eyes.
Xia Yangzheng replied in a daze, "Yes, I drank some."
The man took his hand away, Xia Yangzheng stretched out his hand to keep that hand and that person, but that person had gone far away and even closed the door behind him.The dazed Xia Yangzheng knew that someone had given him hangover soup again, and that person wiped off his sweat and wanted to leave.
This time, Xia Yangzheng never wanted to lose that hand or that person again.As soon as he realized that the person was about to leave, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold the person, begging: "Don't go! Stay!"
The man stopped, and Xia Yangzheng knew that he was hesitating, so he sat up and pulled the man down to the edge of the bed and pulled him into his arms.The bean-like lamp in the man's hand fell to the ground and finally went out...
This made Xia Yangzheng have a ridiculous idea in the dark, quiet and cold night and the warm person in his arms.
"I'm drunk, I don't know what I'm doing." Xia Yangzheng hugged the man tightly, breathing a little short of breath. "Without the light, I don't know who you are." Xia Yangzheng's hands that were imprisoned on the man began to walk restlessly and tremblingly on the man. "Tonight, will you accompany me?" Xia Yangzheng gently kissed the man's temples.The person who had been motionless sighed imperceptibly, turned around and hugged Xia Yangzheng back timidly.
At this moment, Xia Yangzheng felt that he didn't want anything just for this hug.Because that person finally responded to his bitter love, the abnormal and infatuated love that he couldn't ask for.In this darkness, Xia Yangzheng found another pair of lips with his lips, and imprinted them devoutly. His clothes were ragged, and his limbs overlapped. The chilly spring in the room was melting...Silly, how could I not know who you are? ?Face to face day and night, I don’t know how many times I have held your hand... How could I not know who you are, your hair, how could I forget the incense you used to use... You are Ye Bai, my Huafu, I My favorite person...
When it was ugly afterwards, Ye Bai lay on the bed with his eyes open, turned his head to look at Xia Yangzheng who was already asleep, and felt uncomfortable.After conserving some strength, he dragged his aching body back to his room.
Ye Bai stood disheveled in his room, he felt that he was covered in filth, as if there was nothing in the world that could accommodate him, so filthy.
It shouldn't be like this, how can you be soft-hearted for a moment... Ye Bai walked a few steps quickly, the torn wound made him unable to move, he was almost on the verge of tears.father!The child is unfilial, and has done such a thing that is not tolerated by heaven and earth!
Ye Bai walked quickly to the washstand as if masochistic, took the face towel and wiped his body vigorously, as if it had never happened.Tears overflowed while wiping, and he pressed his tearful eyes with his sleeves, sobbing silently.Xia Yangzheng is confused, so he can't be confused too!What did you do yourself!
Chapter 17
Ye Bai cleaned himself up and sat silently at the table until the sound of Du Fang practicing sword outside the courtyard at the beginning of Mao Shichu pulled him back.He walked to the window, looked at Du Fang practicing sword, and was dazed for a while.
Du Fang practiced his sword and suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and looked in that direction.
It's Ye Bai.
Ye Bai then closed the window.
Seeing Ye Bai's strange expression, Du Fang couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he walked towards Ye Bai's room.Walking to the door, through the loosely closed door, Du Fang saw Ye Bai stabbing himself in the heart with the pointed candlestick.Du Fang immediately slammed into the door and kicked Ye Bai's hand away.
The blood gradually stained the not-so-glamorous clothes, and a painful expression appeared on Ye Bai's face.Although Du Fang missed his hand, it still stabbed him in the abdomen.
Du Fang tapped acupuncture points to stop Ye Bai's blood, and called for someone to come.
"Don't save me." Ye Bai grabbed Du Fang's sleeve and said.
"Why are you doing this?" Du Fang couldn't help but look unsteady.
"I don't deserve to live in this world." Ye Bai forced a smile.
"What happened to you?" Du Fang asked, but Ye Bai had already passed out.
When someone reported this to Xia Yangzheng, Ye Bai had already been called by Du Fang for treatment.When Xia Yangzheng came to see Ye Bai, Shi Qingcun had already been guarding Ye Bai's bedside.
"How can you treat Huafu like this!" Shi Qingcun rushed to beat Xia Yangzheng when he saw him.
Fourteen appeared in time to block Shi Qingcun's fists and feet.Xia Yangzheng hurried to Ye Bai's bedside, looking at him distressedly.Shi Qingcun was blocked in the outer room and scolded him: "Don't you like Du Fang! How can you do this?"
"why not?"
"Hanashi will absolutely hate you!"
"Hua Fu is willing!"
"How is it possible?" Shi Qingcun was depressed when he heard the words.
"I like Du Fang only because he resembles Ye Bai." Xia Yangzheng whispered.
"They don't look alike at all!" Shi Qingcun shouted.
This roar woke up the wounded Ye Bai, and it happened that Du Fang just came in from outside the door holding Ye Bai's medicine.
"Did you hurt Huafu?" Xia Yangzheng asked Du Fang.
"It's not him." Ye Bai's weak voice came from the bed, "I accidentally slipped and bumped into it while changing the candlestick."
"When did you hit me? How come I don't know?" Xia Yangzheng turned around and walked to the bed and asked worriedly, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"My room is so far away from His Highness that I can't disturb His Highness." Ye Bai reluctantly moved inward slightly.
"Why do you want to go back to your room? Wouldn't it be better to stay with me?" Xia Yangzheng didn't notice it, and moved closer.
"What do you mean by His Highness? I was in the room last night and never took half a step."
"How is it possible! You were obviously with me last night." Xia Yangzheng took Ye Bai's hand that was holding onto the mattress.
"Your Highness is dreaming." Everything happened last night at this moment, Ye Bai couldn't help but frowned and avoided it.
"Hua..." Xia Yangzheng finally understood, "I think it's really a dream, a daydream!"
Xia Yangzheng snorted and let go of his hand: "Then you can take good care of your wounds, and I won't bother you!"
After Xia Yangzheng understood, his heart immediately turned cold.The death of his mother and concubine and Ye Bai's jealousy and alienation made him lose all hope, but he didn't expect Ye Bai to avoid him like a tiger.You followed me but lied to me, as if I was the dirtiest thing in the world, I am a majestic prince of a country, why do you treat me?
He comforted himself, even though he couldn't live day and night, there was a spring breeze once, didn't he?It should be enough!This is impossible, how could it be possible?Huafu, you are ruthless, you are so ruthless!From now on, I don't have you Ye Bai and Ye Huafu in my heart anymore!
The discomfort in the body and the strange feeling there made Ye Bai very afraid, he didn't stop Xia Yangzheng, but even accommodated him, and did such things with him.The laws of nature cannot tolerate, human relations cannot tolerate, and morals of the world cannot tolerate!The father's spirit in the sky is definitely scolding himself-how did he give birth to such unworthy offspring, they are simply animals!Niezi, Nieyi!
Although Xia Yangzheng just said in a low voice, but martial arts practitioners have good ears, he heard everything.Is that so!
The crown prince passed away and Xia Yang made great contributions in politics, and the concubine Wan Gui also passed away. Today, I am deeply saddened, so despite the obstruction of the queen's party ministers, I ordered Xia Yangzheng to be the prince of Huihe.
Xia Yangzheng was canonized as the crown prince, and He Fangming and others celebrated him by setting up a feast at He Fangming's house.Ye Bai didn't come, neither did Shi Qingcun.Although the few of them don't drink wine from the brothel, they often talk about it on weekdays.
After half a round of drinking, Xia Yangzheng excused himself from the banquet and walked alone in the woods outside He Fangming's house.Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I feel dull and depressed.
As he walked, Xia Yangzheng noticed that someone was following him, but it was Du Fang.
"You don't have to worry about me, I think you already know everything." Xia Yangzheng said, "My emperor brother is dead, so you don't have to follow me anymore, just go if you want."
"Do you like me?" Du Fang asked.
"I like it." Xia Yangzheng paused and then smiled wryly, "But you may not care about it, because I want to like you as another person."
"That's fine if you like it." Du Fang actually knew it all along, but he didn't like Xia Yangzheng so he didn't mind at all, and even wanted to see what would happen.
Xia Yangzheng looked at Du Fang, his heart was warm, and his nose was a little sore.
"Thank you, Du Fang." Xia Yangzheng smiled wryly.
Xia Yangzheng handed over the matter of the ledger to Wang He and He Fangming, while Dong Zhongting was still investigating the matter of the third prince.However, he has not lived a comfortable life for a few days after becoming the crown prince, and Xia Yangzheng is still waiting for today's decree to live back in the palace immediately. Pingchuan has another problem—the newly built dam has collapsed!
So Xia Yangzheng set off to leave the capital again, while He Fangming and others stayed in the capital.Ye Bai avoided seeing Xia Yangzheng and didn't go with him anymore, Xia Yangzheng ignored this and let him go.
As soon as Xia Yangzheng arrived in Pingchuan, he raised his teacher and questioned him, "Mr. Li, what do you think is going on?"
"The lower official is also puzzled. The recent water is not strong. How did the well-built dam be washed away?"
"Could it be that someone cut corners?" Xia Yangzheng squinted at the sheriff holding a cup of tea.
"His Royal Highness, please be vigilant! As a parental officer, I will never do such a wicked thing!"
Xia Yangzheng snorted coldly, thinking how the sheriff didn't look like an upright official, but he didn't see any corruption, which was very suspicious.
"Your Highness." Seeing that the county guard had gone down, only Xia Yangzheng and himself and Zhou Xiaofu in the room knelt down to complain.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yangzheng looked at Zhou Xiaofu strangely, this is rare.
"Mr. Ye said something to the servant when he came here, saying that Li Junshou is very likely to belong to the empress."
"How did he know?" Xia Yangzheng frowned, and had some guesses in his heart.
"This is a letter that Mr. Ye asked his servant to deliver to His Highness." Zhou Xiaofu took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Xia Yangzheng.
In the letter, Ye Bai said that he and Dong Zhongting had secretly checked Pingchuan's taxes for many years, and the amount in the books did not match what he had heard in Pingchuan.Furthermore, it was discovered that Junshou Li was a protégé of Ting Wei Lord Zhang, and that Master Zhang was brought up by the queen's relatives, so Xia Yangzheng should pay more attention to Junshou Li.
"You back down." After reading the letter, Xia Yangzheng was thinking of something, and it took him a long time to speak.
Zhou Xiaofu heard that the stone in his heart was put on the ground, fortunately His Highness was not angry.
Xia Yangzheng sat silently in front of the desk, thinking about things, until someone behind him put on clothes for him.Xia Yangzheng smiled slightly, turned his head and was about to spit out the word "Huafu" but saw that it was Du Fang, and then remembered that he and Ye Bai had already broken up.At the end of today's letter, Ye Bai also said that he always remembers the friendship between the two of them.
It's just friendship, nothing else.Huafu, are you really so rude?
Xia Yangzheng turned to smile and said to Du Fang: "You are really caring recently."
"What you did for me I will do for you back."
"What did I do for you?" Xia Yangzheng couldn't help laughing, put down the paperwork, looked at Du Fang and asked, "Tell me what I have done for you?"
"First, when I first came to your side, people who knew that I was Xia Yangcheng still took me in without embarrassing; second, never gave me false information to separate me from Xia Yangcheng; third, saved my life." Looking at Du Xia Yangzheng found it very amusing when Fang told these things with a calm expression.
"That's all?" Xia Yangzheng pretended to be dissatisfied.
"The first reason is that you think I resemble Ye Bai." Du Fang suddenly said something that made Xia Yangzheng embarrassed, "Do I resemble him?"
Xia Yangzheng thought about it seriously. Li Mochun said that Xia Yangzheng fell in love with Du Fang because Du Fang had a similar temperament and demeanor to Ye Bai, but Xia Yangzheng knew that Du Fang was actually not like Ye Bai. The body shape and temperament are vaguely similar.
Du Fang is like clear water, Ye Bai can't see through it.Du Fangtan said frankly that being world-weary is world-weary, and ignoring him is ignoring him, and he lives a chic and awe-inspiring life.Unlike Ye Bai, he is a member of the world on weekdays, but he is born in the world in his inner world, so a relationship doesn't necessarily mean a relationship.
"You mean the donation?" "Here is the ledger, let's look at it first. The immediate task is to resettle the people and prevent the plague."
"Your Highness is very right." Ye Bai smiled slightly, "I wonder if Your Highness is safe to handle things?"
"I'm always at ease with you."
"That's good." Ye Bai said, "I want to go to those four counties with Li Junshou to check the situation in the future, and His Highness will stay here to check the other five counties. "
"Poor mountains and bad waters, and a disaster area, and I don't know what kind of person this county guard is, how can you make me feel at ease!"
"Your Highness, we shouldn't waste any more time." Ye Bai frowned and said, "It's really inappropriate to leave Beijing at this time, this matter must be dealt with as soon as possible."
"Alright, let Thirteen follow you."
"Absolutely not!" Ye Bai immediately refused: "Your Highness's safety is more important than anything else!"
"I still have fourteen!"
"Fourteen is no better than thirteen..."
"I need Fourteen to do more for me."
Knowing that he couldn't change Xia Yangzheng's decision, Ye Bai had no choice but to let it go, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Xia Yangzheng suddenly stepped forward and held Ye Bai's arm with both hands, "You just wanted to kneel down for me, didn't you?"
"With such grace, why don't you want to kneel?" Ye Bai smiled.
"It's getting late at night, just rest here with me, so we can go out together tomorrow morning."
Ye Bai thought for a while and said, "Okay."
Chapter 14
At dawn the next day, the two were woken up by the rooster crowing.Ye Bai tidied himself up and saw Xia Yangzheng was still sitting on the bed looking unconscious, he went to shake him awake, intending to ask Cuiyu to come in to wash and comb Xia Yangzheng's hair, but Xia Yangzheng stopped him by yawning: "Come and help me!" I'm fine, let's hurry up and go out."
After Ye Bai combed Xia Yangzheng's hair, dressed and tied his belt, Cuiyu came to knock on the door.
"Is Your Highness going out?" Cuiyu held the breakfast food in her hands, and the maidservant behind her held hot water for washing and new clothes.
"Ah."
"Do you still have breakfast?" Cuiyu put the tray on the table outside.
"Just prepare four buns for each of us."
"Yes."
The two walked around Pingchuan early in the morning, and it seemed that the sheriff was still doing his duty.
After Ye Bai left, Xia Yangzheng visited the victims during the day, and checked the county guard's ledger and the ledgers of the five counties at night.Seeing that Xia Yangzheng cared so much about the sufferings of the people, Du Fang had no choice but to change his view of Xia Yangzheng: this person usually behaves disrespectfully, but his heart is still good.
When Xia Yangzheng was walking along the street with Du Fang that day, Du Fang suddenly realized that someone was staring at them, and the person who came was not good!He pulled Xia Yangzheng away and dodged aside, and then two arrows swished out from behind.
Du Fang dragged Xia Yangzheng to the post station while shielding the arrow.
"Where are your guards?" Du Fang turned to ask Xia Yangzheng.
"Beep—" Xia Yangzheng blew his whistle and called for guards.
"You can't do it anymore?" Xia Yangzheng laughed, but suddenly saw an arrow flying towards Du Fang, and pulled Du Fang past him in a hurry, but unexpectedly, he shifted his position slightly and was shot to the left by the arrow of the scapula.
Du Fang was moved by Xia Yangzheng without knowing why, and before he had time to question, he saw Xia Yangzheng was shot by an arrow, and then realized that he was trying to block the arrow for himself, and was so surprised that he didn't know what to do.
Fortunately, patrolling guards came from all directions to help, and the two returned to the station quickly. There were too many guards in the station, and those people did not dare to follow.It just so happened that Li Mochun had just returned not long ago, so he immediately injured Xia Yang politically.
After cleaning Xia Yangzheng's wound and applying medicine, Li Mochun went to cook the medicine after dressing the wound.
"This is the first time I've blocked arrows for someone, and others have always blocked arrows for me." Xia Yangzheng looked at Du Fang and said, "I never thought I would block arrows for you."
In fact, this was also the first time Du Fang felt that other than his family, other people cared about him so much, and the warmth in his heart made him unable to calm down.
"I don't think you know how to face me, you can go and be quiet by yourself." Xia Yangzheng smiled.
Du Fang gave Xia Yangzheng a suspicious look and went out.After a while, Li Mochun also came in with the medicine.
"He is somewhat similar to Huafu."
"Really?" Xia Yangzheng said, but he knew in his heart that they were not alike at all, except at first glance that they felt that they were the same kind of people.
Li Mochun didn't speak, and handed the medicine to Xia Yangzheng.
Du Fang was trying his best to calm down his mood. He never imagined that Xia Yangzheng would block the arrow for him.Ever since she was alone, she had nothing to worry about, and this feeling of being protected has never been felt since the death of her parents.Ye Bai is also nice to him, but will he be nice enough to block arrows for him?He didn't know either, but he knew that Xia Yangzheng was kind to him.
After calming down, Du Fang knocked on Xia Yangzheng's door.
"I heard that you have hidden guards. Why didn't you let them help?" Du Fang asked.
"How do you know?" Xia Yangzheng was a little strange, although Du Fang was good at martial arts, but his martial arts skills would not let Du Fang find out?
"The prince said it." Du Fang resolutely revealed the truth.
"You..." Xia Yangzheng was shocked, not who sent Du Fang, but why did he just reveal his true identity?
"Since you already know it, don't beat around the bush." Du Fang glanced at him lightly.
"You, haha!" Xia Yangzheng laughed, "How can you be so funny?"
Du Fang blushed and didn't speak.Xia Yangzheng knew that this was Du Fang's usual posture, so he smiled and said to himself: "Is that why you do things for my brother?"
"As long as I have something to do for him." Du Fang was even more disdainful.
"How do I know if you have any intentions for me?" Xia Yangzheng asked with a half-smile.
"It's up to you whether you believe it or not."
After being silent for a while, Xia Yangzheng smiled softly and said, "How could I not believe you."
Xia Yangzheng's words stirred in Du Fang's heart, and he heard him say: "Fourteen!"
"The subordinate is here." Fourteen appeared and answered.
"This is my hidden guard, called Fourteen."
Du Fang looked at this person he had never noticed before, and felt a little nervous.
"Is it okay?" Xia Yangzheng asked with a smile.
Du Fang stopped talking again, and Xia Yangzheng waved his hand to let Fourteen leave.
A few days later, I have been in Pingchuan for more than a month.Xia Yangzheng looked at the ledgers of these five counties, and the ledgers of the four counties sent by Ye Bai, but found no problems. It seems that the people above were really greedy for the money.
Xia Yangzheng sighed, Ye Bai should be back!Thinking about the time mentioned in Ye Bai's letter, thinking that he will be back soon.
Dusk had already dyed the sky, and only then did someone come to announce that Ye Bai had arrived.Hearing that Ye Bai was back, Xia Yangzheng wanted to rush to pick him up, but at this moment he received a letter from Feige from Wang He.
It turns out that the death of the third brother is really related to the queen!Xia Yangzheng turned around from the window after reading the letter, and immediately wrote a letter on the table, asking Dong Zhongting and Wang He to try their best to find witnesses, regardless of coercion or temptation!After finishing writing, tell Fourteen to send the letter back to the capital.
After finishing, Xia Yangzheng shouted outside: "Little Fuzi!"
"The slave is here!"
"Go and call Huafu."
"Young Master Ye, he went to check on the disaster and hasn't come back yet."
Xia Yangzheng frowned unconsciously and said: "Didn't he just come back, and went out to see what kind of disaster is happening again? Tell him to come to me when he comes back."
"Yes." Zhou Xiaofu said respectfully.
"Where's Du Fang?"
"I'm here." Du Fang walked out from the door.
"Why are you standing outside the door? You don't want to consume your internal strength like this, do you?"
Just as Du Fang wanted to say that it was not cold, Xia Yangzheng interrupted him: "It's still cold in spring!"
When Ye Bai came back to report to Xia Yangzheng, Xia Yangzheng had already fallen asleep lying on the table, and Du Fang was watching not far from the house.Ye Bai secretly sighed, is it Luo Hua You Qing Liu Shui Wu Wu Wu?
He opened the closet and took out a cloak and put it on Xia Yangzheng, then smiled and said to Du Fang: "Can you come out and talk to me?"
Du Fang nodded slightly in agreement.
"Brother Du has never liked anyone before, right?"
The blush faded as soon as it hit the face.
Seeing this, Ye Bai smiled like that, "I think you like the Second Highness a little bit."
"No..." Du Fang had no choice but to look at Ye Bai's smile and say "impossible", so he swallowed it back.Then after a little thought, he slowly said: "Maybe a little bit."
"When you liked me back then, you could warm your hands and dance your sword for me. Why can't you do anything now that your Highness is here?"
"I, you...you know?" Du Fang became flustered all of a sudden, and the most annoying thing was a teenager.
Ye Bai smiled, but didn't speak.
"I don't know." Du Fang was also puzzled.
"Maybe you have your concerns. However, no matter how much love you have, if there is no warmth in return, it will eventually dissipate." Ye Bai suddenly became serious, "Treat Your Highness well."
"Do you like Xia Yangzheng?"
"You're joking." Ye Bai smiled lightly, and then said: "Go back, when His Highness wakes up, tell him that I have fallen asleep for me, and we will talk about things tomorrow."
Du Fang returned to Xia Yangzheng's room, sat on a chair and looked at the sleeping Xia Yangzheng.
After a while Xia Yangzheng woke up, the clothes on his body slipped off, he reached out to grab the clothes, looked around and saw Du Fang still sitting there looking at him, so he asked with sleepiness and doubts: "You Clothes to cover me?"
Du Fang glanced at the cloak and said nothing.
"Thank you!" This was the first time Du Fang heard Xia Yangzheng thanking someone.Seeing the smile on Xia Yangzheng's face, Du Fang thought maybe he likes him, maybe he needs to treat him better?
Chapter 15
The next day, Xia Yangzheng discovered something was wrong with Du Fang.When he looked up tired after reading the copy, Du Fang put a cup of tea on the desk, and Xia Yangzheng picked it up and drank it flattered.In the evening, he felt a little cold. Du Fang slapped him on the back, scaring Xia Yangzheng into thinking that he was going to die young. He didn't know that Du Fang was protecting him from the cold until he felt a warm current flow into his body.
"What's the matter with you?"
Du Fang glanced at Xia Yangzheng and turned his head away.After all, they have been together for so long. Although the expression on his face did not fluctuate, Xia Yangzheng could sense Du Fang's mood swings.
"Are you embarrassed?" Xia Yangzheng laughed when he noticed Du Fang's unnaturalness.
After a while, Du Fang asked, "Do you like me?"
Xia Yangzheng thought it was a little funny, didn't he listen to what he kept saying?Holding a strange tone, he asked back: "You just found out today?"
"Then I will treat you well in the future." Du Fang suddenly threw out such a sentence and left, leaving Xia Yangzheng to ponder.
After working for a long time, Xia Yangzheng remembered that Ye Bai was back, and hurried to look for him, but in vain.
"Where's the person?" Xia Yangzheng was a little sullen.
"Young Master Ye, he went out soon after dawn." Xiao Si in the yard said respectfully.
"What's the matter?" You didn't know how to come and report to me first.
"Young master went to the shelter in the south yesterday, and encountered a public complaint, so it made sense, and today the past good deeds."
Xia Yangzheng had no choice but to give up and went back to his room to continue reading the copy.Ye Bai didn't come back until noon, leading a woman with him.
"Who is this woman?"
"It's the orphan girl I saw on the road."
"You took someone back when you saw someone on the avenue?"
"There's something going on inside." Ye Bai smiled awkwardly.
"There's really nothing I can do about you." Xia Yangzheng said helplessly after glancing at the woman.
"Gu Mu, take Ayu to wash up."
"Yes, young master." Gu Mu replied and led the woman down.
"It seems that you are in good spirits these days."
"You know what? Du Fang seems to like me."
"Really? It's so nice." Ye Bai smiled slightly.
Xia Yangzheng was depressed, a little happy and a little depressed.
"What happened all of a sudden?" Sensing Xia Yangzheng's little emotion, Ye Bai asked.
"You...it's nothing." Xia Yangzheng couldn't speak, so he gave up and changed the subject, "Didn't you report to me first when you came back?"
"The grassroots are guilty, please punish your Highness." Ye Bai immediately made a gesture of pleading guilty.
"I was joking with you!" Xia Yangzheng looked at him angrily.
"I do my best for His Highness, and I don't believe His Highness will punish me." Ye Bai laughed.
Seeing the other party's smile, Xia Yangzheng was not bored anymore, and laughed along with him.The disaster relief work has almost been completed, and the damaged dams are about to be repaired, and they will be able to return to Beijing soon.
It's been a long time since he smiled so brightly, but it caused Xia Yangzheng's unhealed injury.
"what happened?"
"Slightly injured."
Xia Yangzheng told Ye Bai the reason, Ye Bai frowned: "It seems that the prince's situation is not very good,"
"Indeed, Wang He and the others wrote to me and told me to be careful."
"Everything is almost done, when does His Highness plan to return to Beijing?"
"In another month."
"I hope this month can be passed in peace." Ye Bai smiled slightly.
In April, Xia Yangzheng and the others were still out in Pingchuan when they had free time. They should have known the good news that they had written to Beijing a few days ago.However, news of the prince's death came from Beijing at this time. Xia Yangzheng and others were all worried, and wrote a letter to prepare to return to Beijing.
At this time, in the pepper hall of Queen Suianjing, the queen was sad because of the loss of her beloved son.
Since the crown prince died of illness, Xia Yangzheng made great achievements in water control, and the civil and military officials of the whole court praised him unceasingly. No matter how much she tried, the emperor did not let go of asking her youngest son Xia Yang to succeed him as the crown prince.She is too resentful, too hateful!
"This bitch, I've wanted her life for a long time! I just endured it to see how long she can be favored, to see how she laughs and cries when she sees a newcomer like me. But, today I can't tolerate her! Let her son come to me with arrogance!" The queen said fiercely, clenched her hands even tighter, Dan Kou was as red as if her palms were stained with blood, "Put this medicine in her food, I will Let her die in an ugly way!"
Concubine Wan Gui died just like that, just seven days after the death of the prince.
"His Royal Highness, Concubine Wan Gui is dead!"
Xia Yangzheng was in a daze after hearing the words of the old eunuch who came all the way to deliver the decree, "What did you say?"
"Imperial Concubine, Concubine Wan Gui, she is dead! Your Highness!"
"I want to go back to Beijing, I want to see it with my own eyes!" After saying that, he took the imperial decree and got on the horse and rushed to the capital, followed closely by the servants behind him.Du Fang was also frightened. Looking at Xia Yangzheng's figure, he was a little worried, and caught up with Xia Yangzheng with his horse and whip.The steward immediately ordered the servants to pack their bags and hurry up, and then rushed to the outskirts of the city to inform Ye Bai.Li Mochun couldn't go back to Beijing without the order to return to Beijing, so Ye Bai had to pack up and take Gu Mu with him and then rushed to the capital.
Xia Yangzheng had knelt in front of Concubine Wan Gui's coffin for three hours without a single grain of rice.Du Fang couldn't help feeling sad looking at Xia Yangzheng's lonely back. "Cry, I will guard this palace for you, and I will tell you if anyone approaches." Du Fang pressed Xia Yangzheng's shoulder, turned around, walked out of the palace gate and jumped onto the roof.But after two moments, Du Fang still didn't hear anything, so he had no choice but to give up and go back to the palace gate, guarding him, standing not far behind Xia Yangzheng, watching him and Concubine Wan Gui's coffin.
Concubine Wan Gui was really dead, and the queen finally dealt with it cruelly.
Ye Bai and his party arrived in the capital but couldn't enter the palace, no matter how anxious they were, they could only wait outside.It was not until Xia Yangzheng fainted in front of the coffin that Du Fang took him out of the palace to the post station.Today, it didn't say that Xia Yangzheng could return to the palace, but that he was allowed to return to Beijing to see his biological mother for the last time, so Xia Yangzheng still had to live in the inn outside the palace.
As soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Ye Bai, Wang He and others waiting not far from the palace gate.Only then did Du Fang realize that he had neglected his duties and failed to send a safe signal to everyone.
"Mother Concubine!" Xia Yangzheng shouted as soon as he opened his eyes, but he heard a soft voice beside him calling him, softly: "Zhihua!"
"Huafu?" The panic on Xia Yangzheng's face dissipated immediately, and he grabbed Ye Bai's hand tightly as if he had caught a life-saving grass. "Huafu, do you know? I had a nightmare, me, I dreamed of me The concubine mother is dead. I am so unfilial!"
"Zhihua..."
"No, you can't lie to me!" Seeing the mournful look in Ye Bai's eyes, Xia Yangzheng couldn't help shaking his head in denial.
"Zhihua, you, your mother concubine is indeed dead, this is not a dream."
"No! You lied to me!" Xia Yangzheng yelled at Ye Bai when the life-saving grass was cut off, "I trust you the most and get closest to you, but you want to lie to me!"
With a "bang", Ye Bai punched the railing of the bed with a fist, and said ruthlessly, "Your mother and concubine are dead!" How dare you curse my concubine mother?"
Chapter 16
Before Ye Bai could react, Xia Yangzheng slapped him heavily on the side of his waist, causing his blood to surge up in pain.But he firmly grasped Xia Yangzheng's hand, "Zhihua, cheer up! Death cannot be resurrected..."
"Get out! I don't want to see you!" Xia Yangzheng shouted, shaking off Ye Bai's hand.
Ye Bai wanted to get close to him, but he waved his sleeve to block him, "Why don't you get out! Where's Du Fang? Call Du Fang, you go away!"
Ye Bai looked a little sad, and he went out of the room and said to Du Fang under the tree in the courtyard: "Du Fang, if you can persuade him, please persuade him. If you can't, you can fight him, just don't hurt him too much." Heavy."
After Du Fang entered, Ye Bai had been listening outside the door, and sure enough, he heard the sound of a move after a while.Ye Bai believed in Du Fang, so he was only worried about Xia Yangzheng's mood and not whether he was injured.
Du Fang came out after a while, "How?" Ye Bai was a little worried at this moment.
"He is too disobedient, and his martial arts is not too bad, so I fixed his acupoints." Du Fang disagreed.
"He lost his mother and was murdered by a traitor, why doesn't he feel sad and resentful?" Ye Bai said in awe, "It's strange that you have an affair with the queen and he didn't take precautions against you."
"You didn't guard against me!" Du Fang pointed out.
"He has hidden guards, so I don't need to worry too much. It's just you, after all, it's different..." Ye Bai smiled wryly.
"Your Highness, my condolences!" Ye Bai sat on the stool beside the bed and said to Xia Yangzheng who was lying on the bed after getting acupuncture points.
Xia Yangzheng was speechless, Ye Bai looked at Du Fang.
"Just now he said that if I didn't relieve his acupoints, he would bite his tongue and hurt himself. I had no choice but to acupoint the dumb acupoints." Du Fang looked at Xia Yangzheng and explained.
Ye Bai nodded and asked Du Fang to wait outside. Du Fang looked at Xia Yangzheng with some worry and left without saying anything.
"Don't be so angry, you've just finished your grief and you're too angry!" Ye Bai looked at Xia Yangzheng's red eyes and said, "Body and skin, give it to your parents. If you don't care about your mother, you will be sad!"
Xia Yangzheng's red eyes finally shed tears when he closed them.
"You said that my mother likes my song "Jiyue" very much, and she even wrote lyrics for it to sing."
"Pull the clouds and see the bright moon again, it's time to miss it. Don't let the breath return, the road ahead will be more and more sad. On a cool night, I will give willow leaves. When the moon is in the past, lightly illuminate the sorrows of the people and say goodbye..." Ye Bai slowly uttered the words, This phrase just fits the current situation.Xia Yangzheng really couldn't stop his tears now, even though he couldn't move, he began to cry silently.
Ye Bai sat by the bed and wiped away Xia Yangzheng's tears with a towel, and asked Shisan to relieve Xia Yangzheng's acupuncture points.
Xia Yangzheng moved towards Ye Bai after unblocking the acupoints, clutched his clothes tightly, covered his face and suppressed sobbing, Ye Bai also had tears in his eyes when he saw Xia Yangzheng like this.
In the end, Xia Yangzheng fell asleep in grief.Ye Bai took a while to pull the clothes out of Xia Yangzheng's hands, and wanted to go back to his room and change into clean clothes.
When I went outside, I saw Du Fang leaning on the railing and looking at the moon. I remembered that Du Fang's father had just passed away.
"Brother Du, do you think of your father?" Du Fang turned to look at Ye Bai and then continued to look at the moon.
Du Fang didn't want to talk and Ye Bai didn't stop to change clothes.
Xia Yangzheng has been in a stable mood for ten days since this night, and finally finished the funeral of his mother and concubine.I went back to the post station and lay on the bed. I was silent for a long time, and I kept lying there. It was dark, and the room without candles was pitch black.
"Squeak—" Someone opened the door and came in, and the candle in that person's hand was as bright as beans.It seemed that he wanted to light the candles in the house, but Xia Yangzheng quickly stopped him: "Don't light the lamp! I want to sleep."
The man didn't light the lamp, but walked over with the weak lamp in his hand, the man stretched out his hand to caress his face, Xia Yangzheng recognized this hand, slender and white, with knuckles. "A little hot, have you been drinking?" That worried tone, those warm words, those water-like eyes.
Xia Yangzheng replied in a daze, "Yes, I drank some."
The man took his hand away, Xia Yangzheng stretched out his hand to keep that hand and that person, but that person had gone far away and even closed the door behind him.The dazed Xia Yangzheng knew that someone had given him hangover soup again, and that person wiped off his sweat and wanted to leave.
This time, Xia Yangzheng never wanted to lose that hand or that person again.As soon as he realized that the person was about to leave, he immediately stretched out his hand to hold the person, begging: "Don't go! Stay!"
The man stopped, and Xia Yangzheng knew that he was hesitating, so he sat up and pulled the man down to the edge of the bed and pulled him into his arms.The bean-like lamp in the man's hand fell to the ground and finally went out...
This made Xia Yangzheng have a ridiculous idea in the dark, quiet and cold night and the warm person in his arms.
"I'm drunk, I don't know what I'm doing." Xia Yangzheng hugged the man tightly, breathing a little short of breath. "Without the light, I don't know who you are." Xia Yangzheng's hands that were imprisoned on the man began to walk restlessly and tremblingly on the man. "Tonight, will you accompany me?" Xia Yangzheng gently kissed the man's temples.The person who had been motionless sighed imperceptibly, turned around and hugged Xia Yangzheng back timidly.
At this moment, Xia Yangzheng felt that he didn't want anything just for this hug.Because that person finally responded to his bitter love, the abnormal and infatuated love that he couldn't ask for.In this darkness, Xia Yangzheng found another pair of lips with his lips, and imprinted them devoutly. His clothes were ragged, and his limbs overlapped. The chilly spring in the room was melting...Silly, how could I not know who you are? ?Face to face day and night, I don’t know how many times I have held your hand... How could I not know who you are, your hair, how could I forget the incense you used to use... You are Ye Bai, my Huafu, I My favorite person...
When it was ugly afterwards, Ye Bai lay on the bed with his eyes open, turned his head to look at Xia Yangzheng who was already asleep, and felt uncomfortable.After conserving some strength, he dragged his aching body back to his room.
Ye Bai stood disheveled in his room, he felt that he was covered in filth, as if there was nothing in the world that could accommodate him, so filthy.
It shouldn't be like this, how can you be soft-hearted for a moment... Ye Bai walked a few steps quickly, the torn wound made him unable to move, he was almost on the verge of tears.father!The child is unfilial, and has done such a thing that is not tolerated by heaven and earth!
Ye Bai walked quickly to the washstand as if masochistic, took the face towel and wiped his body vigorously, as if it had never happened.Tears overflowed while wiping, and he pressed his tearful eyes with his sleeves, sobbing silently.Xia Yangzheng is confused, so he can't be confused too!What did you do yourself!
Chapter 17
Ye Bai cleaned himself up and sat silently at the table until the sound of Du Fang practicing sword outside the courtyard at the beginning of Mao Shichu pulled him back.He walked to the window, looked at Du Fang practicing sword, and was dazed for a while.
Du Fang practiced his sword and suddenly noticed that someone was looking at him, so he turned his head and looked in that direction.
It's Ye Bai.
Ye Bai then closed the window.
Seeing Ye Bai's strange expression, Du Fang couldn't help feeling a little worried, so he walked towards Ye Bai's room.Walking to the door, through the loosely closed door, Du Fang saw Ye Bai stabbing himself in the heart with the pointed candlestick.Du Fang immediately slammed into the door and kicked Ye Bai's hand away.
The blood gradually stained the not-so-glamorous clothes, and a painful expression appeared on Ye Bai's face.Although Du Fang missed his hand, it still stabbed him in the abdomen.
Du Fang tapped acupuncture points to stop Ye Bai's blood, and called for someone to come.
"Don't save me." Ye Bai grabbed Du Fang's sleeve and said.
"Why are you doing this?" Du Fang couldn't help but look unsteady.
"I don't deserve to live in this world." Ye Bai forced a smile.
"What happened to you?" Du Fang asked, but Ye Bai had already passed out.
When someone reported this to Xia Yangzheng, Ye Bai had already been called by Du Fang for treatment.When Xia Yangzheng came to see Ye Bai, Shi Qingcun had already been guarding Ye Bai's bedside.
"How can you treat Huafu like this!" Shi Qingcun rushed to beat Xia Yangzheng when he saw him.
Fourteen appeared in time to block Shi Qingcun's fists and feet.Xia Yangzheng hurried to Ye Bai's bedside, looking at him distressedly.Shi Qingcun was blocked in the outer room and scolded him: "Don't you like Du Fang! How can you do this?"
"why not?"
"Hanashi will absolutely hate you!"
"Hua Fu is willing!"
"How is it possible?" Shi Qingcun was depressed when he heard the words.
"I like Du Fang only because he resembles Ye Bai." Xia Yangzheng whispered.
"They don't look alike at all!" Shi Qingcun shouted.
This roar woke up the wounded Ye Bai, and it happened that Du Fang just came in from outside the door holding Ye Bai's medicine.
"Did you hurt Huafu?" Xia Yangzheng asked Du Fang.
"It's not him." Ye Bai's weak voice came from the bed, "I accidentally slipped and bumped into it while changing the candlestick."
"When did you hit me? How come I don't know?" Xia Yangzheng turned around and walked to the bed and asked worriedly, "Why didn't you wake me up?"
"My room is so far away from His Highness that I can't disturb His Highness." Ye Bai reluctantly moved inward slightly.
"Why do you want to go back to your room? Wouldn't it be better to stay with me?" Xia Yangzheng didn't notice it, and moved closer.
"What do you mean by His Highness? I was in the room last night and never took half a step."
"How is it possible! You were obviously with me last night." Xia Yangzheng took Ye Bai's hand that was holding onto the mattress.
"Your Highness is dreaming." Everything happened last night at this moment, Ye Bai couldn't help but frowned and avoided it.
"Hua..." Xia Yangzheng finally understood, "I think it's really a dream, a daydream!"
Xia Yangzheng snorted and let go of his hand: "Then you can take good care of your wounds, and I won't bother you!"
After Xia Yangzheng understood, his heart immediately turned cold.The death of his mother and concubine and Ye Bai's jealousy and alienation made him lose all hope, but he didn't expect Ye Bai to avoid him like a tiger.You followed me but lied to me, as if I was the dirtiest thing in the world, I am a majestic prince of a country, why do you treat me?
He comforted himself, even though he couldn't live day and night, there was a spring breeze once, didn't he?It should be enough!This is impossible, how could it be possible?Huafu, you are ruthless, you are so ruthless!From now on, I don't have you Ye Bai and Ye Huafu in my heart anymore!
The discomfort in the body and the strange feeling there made Ye Bai very afraid, he didn't stop Xia Yangzheng, but even accommodated him, and did such things with him.The laws of nature cannot tolerate, human relations cannot tolerate, and morals of the world cannot tolerate!The father's spirit in the sky is definitely scolding himself-how did he give birth to such unworthy offspring, they are simply animals!Niezi, Nieyi!
Although Xia Yangzheng just said in a low voice, but martial arts practitioners have good ears, he heard everything.Is that so!
The crown prince passed away and Xia Yang made great contributions in politics, and the concubine Wan Gui also passed away. Today, I am deeply saddened, so despite the obstruction of the queen's party ministers, I ordered Xia Yangzheng to be the prince of Huihe.
Xia Yangzheng was canonized as the crown prince, and He Fangming and others celebrated him by setting up a feast at He Fangming's house.Ye Bai didn't come, neither did Shi Qingcun.Although the few of them don't drink wine from the brothel, they often talk about it on weekdays.
After half a round of drinking, Xia Yangzheng excused himself from the banquet and walked alone in the woods outside He Fangming's house.Looking at the bright moon in the sky, I feel dull and depressed.
As he walked, Xia Yangzheng noticed that someone was following him, but it was Du Fang.
"You don't have to worry about me, I think you already know everything." Xia Yangzheng said, "My emperor brother is dead, so you don't have to follow me anymore, just go if you want."
"Do you like me?" Du Fang asked.
"I like it." Xia Yangzheng paused and then smiled wryly, "But you may not care about it, because I want to like you as another person."
"That's fine if you like it." Du Fang actually knew it all along, but he didn't like Xia Yangzheng so he didn't mind at all, and even wanted to see what would happen.
Xia Yangzheng looked at Du Fang, his heart was warm, and his nose was a little sore.
"Thank you, Du Fang." Xia Yangzheng smiled wryly.
Xia Yangzheng handed over the matter of the ledger to Wang He and He Fangming, while Dong Zhongting was still investigating the matter of the third prince.However, he has not lived a comfortable life for a few days after becoming the crown prince, and Xia Yangzheng is still waiting for today's decree to live back in the palace immediately. Pingchuan has another problem—the newly built dam has collapsed!
So Xia Yangzheng set off to leave the capital again, while He Fangming and others stayed in the capital.Ye Bai avoided seeing Xia Yangzheng and didn't go with him anymore, Xia Yangzheng ignored this and let him go.
As soon as Xia Yangzheng arrived in Pingchuan, he raised his teacher and questioned him, "Mr. Li, what do you think is going on?"
"The lower official is also puzzled. The recent water is not strong. How did the well-built dam be washed away?"
"Could it be that someone cut corners?" Xia Yangzheng squinted at the sheriff holding a cup of tea.
"His Royal Highness, please be vigilant! As a parental officer, I will never do such a wicked thing!"
Xia Yangzheng snorted coldly, thinking how the sheriff didn't look like an upright official, but he didn't see any corruption, which was very suspicious.
"Your Highness." Seeing that the county guard had gone down, only Xia Yangzheng and himself and Zhou Xiaofu in the room knelt down to complain.
"What's the matter?" Xia Yangzheng looked at Zhou Xiaofu strangely, this is rare.
"Mr. Ye said something to the servant when he came here, saying that Li Junshou is very likely to belong to the empress."
"How did he know?" Xia Yangzheng frowned, and had some guesses in his heart.
"This is a letter that Mr. Ye asked his servant to deliver to His Highness." Zhou Xiaofu took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Xia Yangzheng.
In the letter, Ye Bai said that he and Dong Zhongting had secretly checked Pingchuan's taxes for many years, and the amount in the books did not match what he had heard in Pingchuan.Furthermore, it was discovered that Junshou Li was a protégé of Ting Wei Lord Zhang, and that Master Zhang was brought up by the queen's relatives, so Xia Yangzheng should pay more attention to Junshou Li.
"You back down." After reading the letter, Xia Yangzheng was thinking of something, and it took him a long time to speak.
Zhou Xiaofu heard that the stone in his heart was put on the ground, fortunately His Highness was not angry.
Xia Yangzheng sat silently in front of the desk, thinking about things, until someone behind him put on clothes for him.Xia Yangzheng smiled slightly, turned his head and was about to spit out the word "Huafu" but saw that it was Du Fang, and then remembered that he and Ye Bai had already broken up.At the end of today's letter, Ye Bai also said that he always remembers the friendship between the two of them.
It's just friendship, nothing else.Huafu, are you really so rude?
Xia Yangzheng turned to smile and said to Du Fang: "You are really caring recently."
"What you did for me I will do for you back."
"What did I do for you?" Xia Yangzheng couldn't help laughing, put down the paperwork, looked at Du Fang and asked, "Tell me what I have done for you?"
"First, when I first came to your side, people who knew that I was Xia Yangcheng still took me in without embarrassing; second, never gave me false information to separate me from Xia Yangcheng; third, saved my life." Looking at Du Xia Yangzheng found it very amusing when Fang told these things with a calm expression.
"That's all?" Xia Yangzheng pretended to be dissatisfied.
"The first reason is that you think I resemble Ye Bai." Du Fang suddenly said something that made Xia Yangzheng embarrassed, "Do I resemble him?"
Xia Yangzheng thought about it seriously. Li Mochun said that Xia Yangzheng fell in love with Du Fang because Du Fang had a similar temperament and demeanor to Ye Bai, but Xia Yangzheng knew that Du Fang was actually not like Ye Bai. The body shape and temperament are vaguely similar.
Du Fang is like clear water, Ye Bai can't see through it.Du Fangtan said frankly that being world-weary is world-weary, and ignoring him is ignoring him, and he lives a chic and awe-inspiring life.Unlike Ye Bai, he is a member of the world on weekdays, but he is born in the world in his inner world, so a relationship doesn't necessarily mean a relationship.
