"Who gave you the courage to talk about my harem?" Emperor Xing stopped his hands, his kind face disappeared, although his tone was not too harsh.

But the person in front of him is the king of a country after all, and he should not be neglected. Shen Yanqing immediately left his seat and half knelt on the ground, "This minister made a slip of the tongue, please punish me, Your Majesty."

Xingdi was silent for a moment before saying a word, his cloudy old eyes glanced at Shen Yanqing's crown, then turned his head and sighed, and slowly said: "Yi Shu...you are the one who made this small character. The year of the weak crown is also I will crown it myself. If it were someone else, I would not be grateful for Dade for the rest of my life."

"Only you, always have a lukewarm attitude towards me. Although I know your temperament is like this, but you have always been insensitive, how can you get along with others. You should change it." Xingdi raised his hand, Signaling Shen Yanqing to return to his seat, he picked up a chess piece.

"Those actors, if you don't like them, you can dismiss them. If the Crown Prince and Prince Rui bother you, you can push them on me. As for the boy who stayed behind, remember to bring them later, just let me see you. .”

Shen Yanqing bowed his head, unable to see his current expression clearly, he bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"No, just keep playing chess."

"Yes."

The two re-entered the battle situation, when black and white were coming and going, the sky had already dawned, and Xing Emperor was finally willing to end this meaningless game.

Shen Yanqing never forgot the last compliment: "Your Majesty is superb in chess, I admire you."

Xingdi also nodded in cooperation, stood up with his hands behind his back, turned slightly sideways, and his words suddenly gave off an old feeling.

"Come with me."

"Yes."

Shen Yanqing's eyes moved slightly, and he followed Emperor Xing obliquely behind him.

When the two of them left the door, the little eunuch who was watching the night outside was still dozing off. He suddenly woke up and wanted to serve him, but was stopped by a gesture from Rong Xing, leaving Shen Yanqing alone with him to leave Yiyu Pavilion.

Nothing happened along the way, passing through the Imperial Garden, Xingdi stopped in his tracks, as if he had thought of something.

Shen Yanqing paused slightly, and had no choice but to lean forward and listen.

Emperor Xing stood with his hands behind his back, and his tone was not very forceful, but seemed to suggest some discussion: "Although you are already a Marquis for your meritorious service in eradicating the remnants, your reputation is not very pleasing. I intend to promote you, but in the end it is difficult for everyone to agree."

"Recently, there are occasional idle jobs in the palace, and Dali Temple and Guanglu Temple are left. What do you think?"

'Dandinghong, or heartbroken grass.You choose. '

Memories suddenly flashed in my mind, outside the pass, inside the palace, the figures overlapped, and in the most peaceful tone, said the most vicious words.

Shen Yanqing lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were long, and there seemed to be a flash of color in his pale eyes. He folded his fists and leaned forward: "I don't want to work in Dali Temple."

Xingdi turned his head sideways: "Oh? Why is this?"

Shen Yan said calmly: "Because I don't like purple official uniforms."

Xing Emperor was happy this time, "If you don't want to, just don't wear it, who dares to say anything?"

"I thank Your Majesty in advance." Shen Yanqing raised his eyes, his eyes reflected Rong Xing's back, but there was no ripple.

"No need." Emperor Xing raised his hand and said, "After you take office, I have something to ask you to do."

"……Yes."

After Shen Yanqing responded, Emperor Xing stepped forward, and the two walked silently for a while, when suddenly a gust of heat came over them.

It is early spring, and the weather is still cool. Shen Yanqing looked suspiciously into the distance, and saw a small pool steaming, similar to a hot spring but not a hot spring, because there were still lotus flowers floating on the water that did not belong to this season.

"This place is called Golden Lotus Pond." Emperor Xing took Shen Yanqing to the pavilion by the pool and slowed down. He looked at the green lotus leaves in the distance and sighed.

"I once told you that you look very much like an old friend of mine."

Shen Yanqing paused, and a trace of complexity flashed in his calm eyes, but he still respectfully said, "This is indeed the case."

"She likes lotus very much." Xing Di paused.

"It's a pity that she is gone, so I cultivated these lotus flowers that can bloom in spring." Emperor Xing suddenly looked back at Shen Yanqing, his cloudy old eyes were finally clear, and their color was very light, but what was contained in them was There is no room for loss, "Would you like to pick one for me?"

Shen Yanqing had no other choice.

Under Xingdi's gaze, he stepped on the fragile lotus leaf path, and there was a gleam in his eyes.

Sure enough, before taking two steps, the lotus leaf under his feet turned sideways, and Shen Yanqing fell into the water.

There were waves of ripples at the place where Shen Yanqing fell into the water, and the water waves spread, spreading to the lotus group in the distance, and the flower branches swayed for a while.

Xingdi silently watched the lotus in Banchi gradually return to calm, then slowly raised his hand, waved forward, and a black shadow came out.

After a while, Heiying salvaged Shen Yanqing ashore, and picked a lotus flower, put it on the lotus leaf, and handed it to Emperor Xing.

Xingdi asked, "Are you alright?"

Shen Yanqing's whole body was soaked, and his whole body was trembling. Although his complexion was pale, his eyes were very clear. He still replied softly, "I'm fine."

"It's fine, you are weak, let Yue take you to Nuan Pavilion to change clothes first, and I will visit you after paying homage to my old friend."

"…Yes."

Xingdi left, and Shen Yanqing stood up with Yue's support. Suddenly, a pleasant fragrance came.

Shen Yanqing couldn't help but take a second look at this person named Yue.

As the sun rose in the east, Shen Yanqing walked out of the palace gate alone, holding a box tightly in his hand, with an indifferent expression.

He walked to the carriage, but found that the robber was sitting at the front of the carriage and staring into the distance, with a strong look of sadness in his brows, and did not notice his return.

Shen Yanqing had no choice but to step forward and ask, "What's wrong?"

Pirate Hu was obviously taken aback, and saw that it was Shen Yanqing who calmed down, "Hey, my master, why have you been in for so long?"

Pirate Hu took a step forward, and his squinted eyes widened in an instant, "Master, master! You, why did you change your clothes! This, this, this, could it be, could it be..."

"..." Shen Yanqing glanced at Daohu and knew what he was thinking, but he didn't bother to explain, anyway, there are too many people in the capital who think so, not to mention that he spent last night in Yiyu Pavilion , It is useless to explain.

He still hasn't forgotten the expression on his face when he entered the palace for the first time to spend the night, after playing chess with Daohu and Xingdi all night.

So Shen Yanqing didn't say much, but boarded the carriage, and at the same time threw the box in his hand to Robber, and confessed: "Bury this when you go back."

"Hey!" Pirate Hu hurriedly took it, and couldn't hold back his curiosity, taking advantage of Shen Yanqing's time to get in the car, he quietly opened a crack.

With the faint light, one can see that lying inside is a flying bird pouch made of pressed gold silk satin.

He hurriedly closed the box, his eyes were startled, and he thought: The lives of rich and noble people are really incomprehensible, this best purse can be used as soil.

Then the criminal-convicted thief rolled his eyes, and put the wooden box into his lapel first.

Pirates hooked the corners of their mouths, and briskly got on the horse and turned around and asked, "Master, shall we go back to the house directly?"

Shen Yanqing's cold voice came with strong tiredness: "Go to Xizhimen, the fourth street behind Yanque Tower."

The bandit swan responded with a cry, then waved the reins and headed towards the destination.

Qing, Tian, ​​Bai, Sun, and Xia were crowded with people, Pirates didn't dare to be presumptuous in driving, and walked slowly, suddenly he turned his head and asked: "Did you meet Prince Rui's car when Hou Ye came out?"

Shen Yanqing opened his eyes: "I touched it. What's the matter?"

"No, it's nothing. Prince Rui... he didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"

Shen Lingyuan took a deep look at Robbery through the door curtain: "...No."

"Hey, that's fine, that's fine."

Speechless all the way.

When they arrived at the destination, Robber realized that it was just a small courtyard of a commoner's house, and it was the deepest corner in the southwest. The carriage couldn't get in at all. When they reached the alley, the two could only walk.

Moreover, the deeper you go on this road, the less you can see people. The morning sun can't shine in, and it's always dark.

Pirate Hu was very timid, so he only dared to follow behind Shen Yanqing, trembling forward, until the dilapidated small courtyard at the end came into view, next to a dry well, the door was slightly open, there was no sound, it was quiet.

But no matter how hidden it is, there is no reason not to close the door. Daohu was suspicious, swallowed a mouthful and whispered, "Master, this..."

Shen Yanqing's eyes dimmed, and before Robohu finished speaking, he pushed the door open and entered the courtyard.

Robber had no choice but to follow in, and what he saw was an ominously sick dog. His yellow curly hair had lost its luster, his limbs were stretched to one side and he was paralyzed by the food bowl, his tongue was sticking out of his mouth, and his facial features were grim.

He turned pale with shock, but there was only Shen Yanqing beside him, and he couldn't grasp his noble body, but he still likes to have clean ears, so he had to say as little as possible, and if he couldn't scream, he could only follow closely, otherwise he would be a little dazed. ...

No, the person has entered the house first.

Robber's face was aggrieved, and his heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to stay here alone, so he had to follow up with two thin legs.

As soon as he entered the door, the strong smell of blood came to his face.

I saw an old man and a young child lying on the kang quietly, old and peaceful, with closed brows, cold body, only one sword wound on the neck, no blood around.

The little one had blood oozing from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were staring straight ahead.The right hand hanging by the side was spread out with five fingers, and the left hand was covering the wound on his neck, with blood splattered everywhere, as if something very important had been snatched away.

Daohu's face was pale at this moment. Although he was a habitual thief before, he had never hurt anyone. Now the family of three obviously offended some powerful person and died at home, even the dog was not spared.

Most importantly, the neighbors of this family didn't know anything about it.

Shen Yanqing walked to the edge of the kang, and after a moment of silence, he reached out to touch the little boy's eyes, but the little boy's obsession was too strong, and he opened them slightly in the end.

Seeing this, Robber took another half step back. He couldn't bear the shock of the child's death, and asked in a trembling voice, "Master, why don't we report to the government?"

Shen Yanqing turned around, inevitably rubbing some dried blood on his hands, he wiped it off with a handkerchief before raising his eyes slightly, his pale eyes were deep, and his tone became eight degrees colder: "No need, I will arrive tomorrow After Dali Temple takes office, it will deal with this matter."

"Yes."

Daohu was slightly stunned, and responded when he understood.

Shen Yanqing had already left, and he also breathed out, clasped his hands together as if courageous, and silently recited the Heavenly King, Laozi, Queen Mother, and Mother, and the young and old, who would soon be reborn, and then followed them out at a faster pace.

I don't know if he was scared out of his wits by the scene just now, but this time Pirates speeded up obviously and rushed back to the mansion.

When the two of them entered the side door, it happened that the sun had just risen. On a sunny morning, there was no shadow waiting for anyone, but a little girl hurriedly came to greet them.

Robber said: "What's wrong with the cuckoo?"

Du Juan saluted in a flustered manner: "Master Hou, it's not good. Mr. Lu Hui fell ill when he returned to his room last night. He is suffering from a high fever. Would you like to go and have a look?"

Shen Yan's handsome face, which had been cold for a whole day, finally showed some changes, his brows were slightly lowered, he nodded slightly and said to Pirates, "Don't forget to bury the box, and by the way, call Shadow to Qinghui Hall, I have something to discuss with him. "

After speaking, he quickly followed the little girl to the small courtyard where Shen Lingyuan was.

Before entering the door, I heard the hoarse howling of young people. Whether it was Lu Xiao, Chang Xinghou, or even the old beggars on the street, they all had their names.

Just didn't hear him calling.

Shen Yanqing's Adam's apple rolled without a trace, pushed the door, took off his cloak and handed it to Du Juan, and came to the bedside.

At this time, Shen Lingyuan was guarding Su'e who had taken off her black clothes and put on casual clothes. The girl let Shen Lingyuan show her teeth and claws with a blank face, calmly took off the long needle that was stuck on his body at the right time, and then Toss freely on the tray and repeat.

There were only pinholes left on Dairen's body, so Shen Yanqing asked, "What's going on."

Su'e paused when she heard the sound, then turned around with the discarded needles in her hand, and squatted down: "Teacher, Shen Lingyuan's high fever should be caused by wind cold and wound infection. As for the babbling, the students think it should be because of what you said." What he said, the heart rhythm is blocked, caused by the stagnation in the chest. But I have given him the needles now, and after the typhoid prescription is cooked, I will force-feed him, and he will be healed tomorrow."

"As for when he will wake up." Su'e thought for a moment, "It depends on his fortune."

Shen Yanqing didn't seem worried when she heard the words, she nodded slightly and said to Su'e: "It's been hard work, but I still have to trouble you to cook a medicine yourself."

"I should do it." Su'e lowered her eyes, and after responding, she left with a tray.

After the people left, Shen Yanqing sat down at the round table not far away, and saw that Shen Lingyuan on the sickbed was still flushed with a face, although he was no longer struggling, but his eyes were wide open, but they seemed to be awake but unconscious clear.

He was silent for a moment to regain his senses, picked up the tea to moisten his throat, but suddenly heard the young man call out: "Brother Yi..."

The voice was so soft that Shen Yanqing was slightly stunned when he realized it, his eyes were slightly opened, and he looked at the bed at the same time.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but unexpectedly, there was another trembling voice next to my ear, "Shen Yanqing."

The pale yellow liquid in the cup rippled, and Shen Yanqing finally put down the teacup and walked forward.

When he wanted to open his mouth to comfort him, he found that simple words were too unfamiliar to him, and finally he only said two words slowly: "I am here."

As if reacting, the person on the bed turned his head slightly, his right eye had been treated and bandaged, but the gauze was mostly wet with tears, he looked a little dazed, as if he was looking for something around, and showed signs of struggling.

Seeing this, Shen Yanqing had no other choice, so he could only help the person up slowly, and signaled the servant to take a pillow so that he could pour the medicine later.

But at the next moment when she wanted to turn her head and move her mouth, she was surrounded by Shen Lingyuan, unable to move for a while.

And the young man who did bad things was still whispering his name, his voice was trembling and already stained with crying. Sitting down, outstretched hands.

After hesitating for a few seconds, the slender pair landed on the boy's jet-black hair and stroked it gently.

However, this moment of connivance will only make the delirious person gain an inch. Shen Lingyuan's face suddenly became ferocious, and he grabbed the shirt in front of Shen Yanqing's chest and climbed up fiercely, yelling viciously at that unparalleled handsome face. A sentence.

"Shen Yanqing, I hate you."

Then, without giving Shen Yanqing any chance to react, he bit his thin shoulder.

Then, Shen Lingyuan's body sank, and he lost consciousness again.

As the weight of this person fell on her body, Shen Yanqing's eyebrows were drawn together suddenly, her shoulders didn't hurt much, but her lower body...

He moved his legs, his face returned to normal, he just stretched out his arms to embrace Shen Lingyuan's limp body, let his head rest on his chest, and then gave instructions to Du Juan who was waiting outside the door.

"Go get some hot water."
