so

The night in Changchun Garden is extremely beautiful.Far away from the hustle and bustle of the capital, without the crampedness of the Forbidden City, without noisy streets, and without high courtyard walls, here, you can see the stars all over the sky when you look up, twinkling in the sky.Rising in the east and setting in the west, the stars turn and move, without restraint, I only see a night as cold as water, and the stars sink like falling.

It was cold in spring, and it was not yet March, and Yinzhen knelt down for a while, then felt his knees numb, cold to the bone, and uncomfortable.Looking back at Yinhu, it seemed that nothing happened.Only then did I realize that Yinhu had been kneeling for a longer time, and it was already in excruciating pain.Yinzhen blamed himself for being negligent in his heart for a while, and asked with a frown, "Is it uncomfortable to kneel? Long kneeling is too tiring. Maybe it's better if you sit on your knees."

"I'm fine. Fourth brother, rest for a while. I don't want to bear it. Leave me alone. I'm being punished, not enjoying the blessings. If fourth brother punishes me to kneel, and sees me being lazy and perfunctory, why would he be angry? The prince's temper is no better than that of the fourth brother, even if I am tired, I have to rest."

"I won't punish you." Yinzhen retorted.

The night before the Taimiao came back to Yinhu's mind.At that time, he was still Prince He Shuolian, who was in charge of the prime minister's affairs. Even if it was the title he donated, he was still the head of the kings and ministers.With so many people staring at him, he couldn't even move, kneeling straight, as if his legs didn't belong to him, as if the next moment, he would become a statue, and he would never be able to move.Yinhu thought to himself: "Won't you be punished? Huh, to put it lightly. If you really hold the power in the previous life and sit in the seat of the previous life, and I am on the opposite side of you, can you not punish me with excuses? It's a joke!"

"You don't believe it?" Yinzhen asked.

"Who can tell what will happen in the future." Yinhu sighed and said lightly.

Yinzhen choked on these words and felt extremely uncomfortable.He clenched his fists tightly, pursed his lips, and gritted his teeth. He didn't know what was wrong with him.If this was said by any prince, even Yinzhen and Yinzhen, he would think it was normal and would never take it to heart.Where are the father and son brothers in the heavenly family, where can we look forward to the true love?Even against Yinzhen, Yinzhen is also on guard.It's just Yinhu, only Yinhu, he can't bear it.The tone in those words, as if he could really do such a thing, as if Yinhu had already seen their future, and did not leave him even a trace of fantasy, as if he was saying to him in that cruel tone like a sigh, I, Yinhu, are no different to you.

Yinzhen exhaled a few long breaths, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Don't force me."

Yinhu watched Yinzhen coldly from the sidelines, only feeling that he was angry and attacking his heart, and he was just saying a common word, why did he provoke Yinzhen so angry?Yinzhen also doesn't look like a naive person, how can he expect eternal brotherhood?In the previous life, I had an unusual relationship with Yinzhen when I was young, but in the end it was not life and death, no one felt sorry for it.It's nothing more than different ways and no conspiracy.What's wrong with Yinzhen, could it be that he really wants to be brothers forever?Even if there is, it should be with Xiao Shisan, it can't be with him.

But Yinhu just endured all kinds of things, and it was not a big deal, so he said: "I believe it is the fourth brother. Fourth brother, if you are tired from kneeling, sit down for a while. You also said that kneeling can be saved, it is hard to guarantee It is already Yinhu's crime for you to insist on accompanying me without any hidden illness, if due to Yinhu's fault, the fourth brother suffers any harm, Yinhu will not be able to pay for it in the future."

Seeing Yinhu's softening, Yinzhen didn't care too much as soon as the knot in his heart was unraveled. He knelt down, but his back was still straight, and he stretched out his hands to rub his knees to relieve the pain, and went to help Yinhu again. rub.Yinhu knelt down and took a step away, staggered a little, put his hands on the ground so as not to fall, and said in a panic: "I dare not work, fourth brother."

"Don't dare, I just rub it for you. If you kneel like this for a long time, something will go wrong." Yinzhen rubbed Yinhu's calf while talking, and pressed his fingers on the acupuncture point, soreness and numbness were unbearable , Yinhu also frowned and forbearance, not saying a word.

"Tell me, what time is it now?" Yinzhen was afraid that Yinhu would be in severe pain, so he was busy finding topics to divert his attention.After talking too much, Yinzhen also gradually let go of his cold expression, and his tone became more relaxed.

"I don't know, judging by the position of the moon, it's probably right. By the way, where did Su Peisheng go? He didn't go in with you, and I didn't see him either. Fourth brother sent him back?"

"Yeah," Yinzhen nodded.

"It's good to go back. Shen Zheng and I started to kneel. It's been three hours," Yinhu counted, "It's only three hours, which is not too long. Why does it feel so long?"

"Does it feel long to have me by your side?" Yinzhen asked.

"It's much better to have fourth brother with me and be able to talk. It's just that fourth brother is not afraid that we will talk here and let others listen?"

"Don't worry, I have already made arrangements when I come here. There are guards outside to help guard. This is the place of the crown prince. No one dares to come here." Yinzhen replied.

Yinhu hesitated for a moment, but still asked softly: "Where are the people of the imperial father?"

"Don't worry. You and the prince are used to talking outside the house, so you naturally know that talking outside is much more convenient than inside." Yinzhen replied calmly.

"Fourth brother even knows this?" Yinhu asked.Yinhu has always known that there are people from Yinzhen in the crown prince's place, and even who they are, Yinhu can also figure out who they are.In the entire palace, apart from her own territory, Yinhu is most familiar with the Prince's Yuqing Palace and Taipuxuan, and even the Liang Concubine's Qixiang Palace has to be in the back row.It is almost impossible to insert someone without telling him.But what Yinhu was puzzled about was that Yinzhen said it without hesitation. Isn't this the same as telling Yinhu clearly that the prince has someone from him?

"I always know something." Yinzhen said.He was not afraid of letting Yinhu know about these things, and it was no big deal if he knew, Yinhu would have known that he had eyeliners everywhere in the sky.It is not easy to insert nails into the two places of Qianxitou and Cining Palace, naturally it is because of Yinhu's management.Even Yinzhen felt that the people he sent had already been discovered by Yinhu. The eyeliner around the prince was the thinnest, with one or two layers on the outside. .

"Fourth brother, Yinhu knows that fourth brother believes in me, but there are some things that Yinhu doesn't want to know." Yinhu didn't understand what Yinzhen's intention was to reveal his secrets like this. Yinzhen is a cautious person, so he said it directly. It can't be a good thing, I don't know what else is waiting for him.

"However, I always want to know about your affairs. I have been thinking, what do you and the prince talk about every time you talk outside? It must not be homework. Homework can be said in Yuqing Palace, but only It's the government. I know that the crown prince had a conversation with you outside Taipuxuan yesterday, and he punished you to kneel. Today, when he saw the emperor came back, he called you to Taipuxuan, beat you, and fined you again. Kneel, there must be something hidden in this, right?"

Yinhu could only hear the sweat dripping down, and the cool night wind made Yinhu shiver.Yinhu turned his head to look at Yinzhen's side face, he didn't even notice the blood was bitten on his lips, he had a thousand thoughts in his mind, but in the end there was only one question left, Yinhu didn't know whether to ask, he didn't know After asking himself, is he still able to support himself and kneel down.None of Yinzhen's informants in the Crown Prince's uterus could report to Yinzhen what happened last night, except for Yan Jin.Yinhu closed his eyes, and there was only one thought left in his mind: So Yan Jin belonged to him, and it turned out that his former confidant eunuch belonged to Yinzhen.After all, he held back and didn't ask the doubt, but kept silent without saying a word.

"Looking at your reaction, I probably guessed right. Since I can know, so can the emperor's father. The emperor's father must know more than me. Just tell me, I dare not say anything about it in the future. , this time, I will definitely help you to the end." Yinzhen did not expect that Yinhu would have such a big reaction, he wanted to hide these words in his heart, but he couldn't help but talk to Yinhu. Want to ask, want to inquire about, want to help him.Yinzhen didn't know what was wrong with him, even such a promise could be said.

"Why? Repay me for saving you in the past?" Yinhu still hadn't recovered from the shocking fact, closed his eyes, and asked in a deep voice.

"Are you upset?" Yinzhen ignored Yinhu's question, gently took Yinhu's hand, held it in his hand, and asked tentatively.

"I'm scared," Yinhu said, "I never thought that what I did could be hidden from the world, and it's okay if the emperor knows about it. It's just that I didn't expect that even the fourth brother knew about it." He was indeed scared. After such a disastrous end, it is difficult for anyone to become passionate again.In the past, I only thought that if I wanted to help the crown prince, I wouldn't have to worry too much, and I would just act boldly, but now I can't even indulge in this bit of laissez-faire.Yinhu is already part of the prince's party, and it is as if it has been branded, and it is absolutely difficult to change it.His every move, every word and deed, is also stared at and watched. It turns out that no matter what happens, he can only be cautious and walk with difficulty. It is extremely dangerous.

"Anxin," Yinzhen said, "I am also skeptical. If I guess right now, you should also be planning for the prince. If you don't mess up, he will always forgive you. The emperor's father, he also I will cover it up for you, and if something really happens, Big Brother will save you."

"Brother?" Yinhu was even more surprised.

"Brother wants to win you over, it's not a day or two," Yinzhen replied, "You still treat Concubine Hui as a foster mother, so he naturally has thoughts in his heart. Isn't it because the prince is blaming you this time? Your chance? If something really happens, you don't have to agree to him, you can use his strength. Except for the elder brother, Uncle Wang will not just sit idly by. Although the ninth and tenth brothers are young, their mother clan is prominent after all. They begged for mercy , there is always some weight. I sent them away this time because I didn’t want to make things too big and difficult to clean up because of them too early. But if things really get big, don’t worry, the brothers won’t sit idly by. reason."

"Fourth brother," Yinhu let out a long breath, "I really didn't do anything that required so many people to help me. You put your heart in your stomach, I'm fine, even if Han Ama is punished, he won't be punished Too harsh."

"Really?"

"real."

"I think you've been worrying if you don't say it, but now that you say it, it feels better. I feel relieved too."

"Thank you fourth brother for your concern. Should I be flattered?"

"When you act in the future, just be careful in everything. Ninth brother is worried about you, and he will never be inferior to me. You can't take risks in everything, let brother worry about you, right?"

"Okay, I would like to follow the teaching of the fourth brother." Yinhu replied.

※※※※※※※※※

Yinhu kept kneeling, and Yinzhen knelt for a while, then got up and knelt to accompany him.

Yinhu was already exhausted from the busyness and planning the night before.At this time, after kneeling for a long time, talking with Yinzhen was extremely exhausting, and when it was ugly, Yinhu couldn't stand it anymore, and was so sleepy that he yawned and his eyelids were clenched.Kneeling unsteadily, he swayed a few times, and finally fell asleep, and fell down violently.Thanks to Yinzhen's preparations, with quick eyesight and quick hands, he reached out to grab Yinhu and held Yinhu in his arms, so he didn't hit his head.Yinzhen looked at Yinhu who was sleeping soundly in his arms, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, gently smoothed his frowning brows with his palm, and said in his heart: "I'm all asleep, don't think too much."

Yinzhen looked at Yinhu's sleeping face: quiet but unsteady, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, the brows that had just been opened just now were unconsciously wrinkled together, her cheeks were suddenly swollen, and the palm prints were faintly swollen. With a few bloodstains.Yinzhen couldn't help reaching out to rub the wound on that cheek, feeling a little hot, and felt distressed for a moment, so he said softly: "Actually, does it still hurt?"

Yinhu seemed to hear it, and gave a soft "um", but didn't wake up.It was only then that Yinzhen realized that the night was cold at this time, if he fell asleep, it must be a cold.Wanting to wake Yinhu up, she couldn't bear it, and was hesitating while hugging him, but her eyes fell on those gorgeously red lips.

Yinhu seemed to have bitten his lip, the lip was dry and cracked, the blood oozed out and dried up, leaving a scarlet on the lip.Yinzhen stared at it for a long time, as if suddenly possessed by an evil spirit, he bent down, and gently covered the dark red and black blood with his lips, and brushed the tip of his tongue over the chapped lips, feeling a trace of fishy sweetness slowly dissipating. Open, thick, sinking in the bottom of my heart.
