Zhao Yang's thoughts are not difficult to guess.

He thought that Tang Ruilang admired him, so he planned to use Ruilang's feelings to win over the Tang family.

Now that things have happened, Lu You can't help being a little annoyed by his gaffe at the beginning; however, he thought again, if he had confessed his personal relationship with Rui Lang at that time, he might have been eaten alive by the furious Zhao Yang.

It is useless to think too much, what is important is how to take the next step.

Taking advantage of Zhao Yang's afternoon nap, Lu You quietly left Huiqing Hall, turned around and entered Hanlu Hall.

Zhao Yang would never have imagined that in the afternoons these days, Tang Ruilang was almost always in the Hanlu Hall to accompany the young grandson Zhao Rongze, and he often stuck to Lu You like glue.

The two met each other in a blink of an eye, and Lu You recounted the conversation in Huiqing Palace in detail.After Swiss Lang listened carefully, the first sentence he spoke was astonishingly decisive.

"Don't worry, the Tang family will not help Zhao Yang."

He took Lu You's hand, found a secluded corner, and the two of them sat down and talked quietly.

"...I want to tell you something about my family, but I don't know if you will be disgusted?"

Lu You and Rui Lang have known each other for many years, and know that he almost never talked about the right and wrong of the Tang family; after the accident happened in the Ye family, he kept it secret even more.Today, he took the initiative to ask, there must be something important to talk about.

Thinking of this, he shook his head: "Speak."

Rui Lang then said: "Actually, last night, my father also talked to me. He said that there is an undercurrent between the crown prince and King Xuan, and one minister does not serve the two masters. He asked me which one I should choose... and said that I The choice you make is the future choice of the Tang family."

"He actually let you decide?"

Lu You couldn't help being surprised—after all, he originally thought that the power was as powerful as the Tang family, and whenever important decisions were made, the patriarch should summon the mainstay, and make a decision after serious discussions.

"What? You don't believe it?"

Instead, Tang Ruilang jokingly said: "I am sixteen this year, and I will take the exam next year. Maybe I will become an official at the end of the year. Do you think we are still carefree teenagers in the Imperial College?"

"Are you going to be an official next year?"

Lu You looked at Rui Lang as if he had just woken up from a dream, as if he had just realized that the person around him had grown into a handsome young man with high spirits.

It was a face that was clearly seen every day, but at this moment, Lu You's heart skipped a beat.

In order to avoid ridicule, he quickly changed the subject: "Then how did you decide? Not to help Zhao Yang, that is to say, to help the prince?"

"No, no one will help."

Tang Ruilang shook his head: "Zhao Yang has a savage and insidious personality. He is cruel and heartless. It is absolutely impossible for him to become the master of the generation. The crown prince is headstrong, has no tolerance for others, has the generosity of tolerance, and the courage of strategy. I am afraid that he can't even defend Chengdu."

Having said that, he cast his gaze into the distance.

"The most ideal lord in my heart should be like the great ancestor of the dynasty. He has the mercy to save the world and the means to turn the tide. It's a pity that people can't choose the era they were born in, but I'm lucky, at least there are some Opportunities to realize your ambitions and aspirations.”

Ambition, longing?

The two words in Rui Lang's mouth made Lu You slightly startled.

He seemed to recall that he had dreamed of something... It was like a kind of spring breeze, leaving a name in history, but that was a long, long time ago.

In front of him, Tang Ruilang is about to become an official, and the future must be full of great ambitions and great success.And what about myself?He also studied in the Imperial College and was also praised by the doctor of Hongwenguan, but he was like a ghost who lost his body, destined to be unable to stand under the sun.

Just when Lu You was in a daze, Tang Ruilang said abruptly: "Since King Xuan wants to see me, then I will meet him tomorrow."

Lu You came back to his senses immediately, and asked nervously: "He must be trying to win you over, what are you going to do?"

Rui Lang smiled: "His face is so good-looking, and he wants something from me. He must be full of good words, and maybe he will throw himself into his arms. What do you think I am going to do?"

Lu You immediately raised his eyebrows: "He has a bad disease all over his body, if you dare to touch him, then... don't come near me again!"

"It's just a joke with you, why do you take it seriously?"

Tang Ruilang laughed loudly, and stretched out his hand to hug Lu You's waist: "If you don't let me touch him, then let me get closer to you. With you as the real master, I naturally don't care about that counterfeit gone."

Although Lu You was dissatisfied with his sweet talk, he didn't resist, instead, he pressed Tang Ruilang's chest very docilely.

"...I'm a little scared." He murmured, "If the crown prince is not abolished, Zhao Yang will definitely be persecuted by Zhao Yun. , my sister she..."

"This is the path your sister chose." Tang Ruilang hugged him a little tighter, "She knows what she is doing better than anyone else, so don't worry."

Lu You smiled wryly: "When did you understand her better than me?"

"...Don't say that." Tang Ruilang shook twice, as if embarrassed, "I'm just a person who also cares about you, so I can understand some of her feelings."

Just as he was talking about this, he saw a familiar little eunuch coming from a distance outside the palace gate, it was Xiao Yao'er who usually delivered messages for Qi Yunchu.

"Grand Changqiu is going back to Lizheng Hall tonight, please come and talk later."

Calculated, Lu You has not been to Lizao Hall for five days.That evening, he opened the courtyard door early, and saw the master of the Ministry of Internal Affairs sitting under the osmanthus tree in the courtyard, closing his eyes and meditating.

Perhaps it was because of these days of restless sleep and serving the king, Qi Yunchu rarely showed a trace of fatigue, his lips were bloodless, and there were faint blue bruises under his slender phoenix eyes.

He was not the kind of person with a strong appearance, and at this moment he was even more relaxed, as quiet as a willow tree.

Although eunuchs and servants should not participate in government affairs, with Qi Yunchu's status, it is not easy to stay out of it.There are probably not a few people who have come to find him these days.

Lu You suddenly couldn't bear to break the silence of this moment.

It happened that the wind was blowing late at night, and he went into the room to fetch a thin blanket and wanted to put it on for Qi Yunchu.After turning around, the person leaning against the tree opened his eyes.

"..."

Qi Yunchu seemed not fully awake yet.He squinted his eyes slightly, looked at Lu You steadily, and whispered another strange name in his mouth.

"Dongjun..."

Who is Dongjun?

Lu You was taken aback, but blurted out: "Grand Qiu, it's me, Lu You."

"...It's you." Qi Yunchu just woke up like a dream.

He supported his forehead, put the long hair covering his cheeks behind his shoulders, and then frowned: "Why didn't you wear a mask?"

"These days King Xuan is tossing around very hard. Sometimes he asks me to follow him, and sometimes he asks me to act for him. The mask is put on and off again and again every day. Master cares about the materials and tells me to save some. But please don't worry, Mr. Qiu, the light at night Hazy, I was also very careful when I came, and I was not seen by anyone."

"That mean old woman."

Qi Yunchu snorted, but didn't intend to pursue it. He took the thin blanket from Lu You and put it on his body, and asked lazily, "I heard that a horse breeder came to find King Xuan today?"
