The prince in the cold palace

Returning to the hut in the accounting room a little tired, as always, I saw the emperor reclining on the teacher's chair reading a book, and seeing Zhi Fei returned, he gracefully put down the book in his hand, with a smile on his lips, and a low and charming voice sounded, "Little Seven...Seeing that you are frowning like this, are you in trouble?"

The emperor's calm words reassured Zhifei, he followed Yin Wuyao's gestures and slowly walked to his side, pulled by a force, Zhifei had already sat on the corner of the chair, next to Yin Wuyao body.

Struggling a bit unaccustomed, seeing Yin Wuyao's eyes getting darker, Zhi Po gave up struggling, obediently let the other party half circle around him, the distance was so close that he could hear the other party's breathing.

Seeing that Zhifei no longer struggled, Yin Wuyao raised the corners of his lips, curled up Zhifei's loose long hair with his fingers, circled it twice, and murmured slightly, "Hmm... let me guess, is Shen Rongku right? Promised to help Xiaoqi deal with Rongli?"

Zhi Feilue opened his eyes wide, and looked at Yin Wuyao with some doubts. Yin Wuyao let out a deep laugh from his throat, and tightened his arms, "In the eyes of ordinary people, Batianzhai was born when the two armies were fighting. Not favoring the side, actually standing on our side, is giving us a favor, but Xiaoqi obviously doesn't think so..."

Satisfied to see that Zhi Fei nodded, his smart and bright eyes reflected the handsome and confident face of the king, Yin Wuyao continued, "However, Shen Rongku took over the matter of dealing with Rongli again, and took care of Xiaoqi's even Xiao Qi also feels a headache for Prince Rongli, does this kind of favor seem even greater?"

Zhi Fei opened his mouth and smiled knowingly.

"It's really not easy for Shen Rongku to do this, but, to me, it's not a human favor." The emperor looked out of the window inscrutablely, at the lush and lush forest on the mountain, and a few white clouds floating in the sky, The towering peaks are occasionally shrouded in clouds and mist.

In the northwest of Zhou State, there is mostly yellow sand and poor soil, and there are few places with lush water, grass, mountains and forests. The reason why Batianzhai has always been a hidden danger in the northwest has a lot to do with this terrain.

After a brief silence, the emperor turned his head, "Judging from Shen Rongku's actions, he is more interested in joining the court, but I can't figure out why..."

With a sigh, Zhi Fei rarely saw Yin Wuyao show such an expression.

"Shen Rongku also said that he doesn't want the imperial court to recruit him." Zhi Fei recalled Shen Rongku's heroic expression when he made the covenant that day, but then thought of the portrait of Ting Feng Tang, he hesitated, Zhi Fei Still say what happened 20 years ago.

"No wonder..." Yin Wuyao sneered, "It seems that the fox Shen Rongku is dissatisfied with his current status. For him, Zhao'an is acknowledging his status as a bandit. Most unacceptable."

As the emperor, Yin Wuyao can better understand the pride and reserve among the gentry. Even if he is far away from the rivers and lakes, he can't let go of this pride. He doesn't want to cooperate with Rongli, and he doesn't want to be recruited by the court.

Even if he doesn't know the reason, the emperor can still grasp Shen Rongku's thoughts well and make countermeasures.

"Returning to the official career..." Yin Wuyao's eyes darkened, most people in the world would stand on top of the court even if they were overwhelmed, probably only the teenagers around him didn't care.

One day you will care about it, Yin Wuyao thought.

"Since Prince Rongli is being dragged by Xiao Qi, we can go down the mountain as long as Apu leaves. There is still a lot of time, what does Xiao Qi want to do?"

Yes, the originally tense strings seemed to be loosened all of a sudden. I have read the account books, collected information, and even established the covenant. Rongli also has someone to help deal with it. Zhifei really doesn’t know what he needs to do. What's the matter, Yin Wuyao's injury has healed, not only can he continue to perform superb lightness kung fu, but also made many arrangements secretly.

It seemed that in a blink of an eye, I became useless.

Yin Wuyao slowly kissed Zhifei's brow, "...Don't show such a hurt expression, Father will be heartbroken."

"Heartache?..." Zhi Fei unconsciously repeated Yin Wuyao's words, staring at the roof with ecstasy, feeling empty in his heart.

"Xiaoqi is doing very well, Father is very happy. The scholarly family" Yin Wuyao hugged Zhibao tightly, as if the boy in front of him would disappear if he didn't pay attention. With deep blood, I always see it in my eyes, "It's time to relax, don't you have anything special to do?"

Zhi Fei thought for a while, then said sullenly, "It seems that there is no..."

"Want to go back to the palace?" Yin Wuyao's face darkened, looking at Zhi Fei with a look of anticipation, unconsciously, a kind of irritability crept into his heart.

Wanting to go back to the palace, wanting to see Concubine Mu and Mu Ao and the others, it has only been over a month since they last met, but it seems like they have been separated for many years.

But returning to the palace means losing the opportunity to confront the enemy head-on. As a human being in two lives, Zhifei has never been so passionate. At least once, let him personally experience the battlefield, avenge his friends, and stand by the emperor's side to watch him strategize.

Before he knew it, Yin Wuyao was no longer simply synonymous with the emperor.

Zhi Fei looked at Yin Wuyao, and slowly shook his head.

Yin Wuyao smiled lightly, and rubbed his useless hair fondly.

Danhe still left early and returned late, and sometimes he didn't see him for two or three days, as if he had reached a consensus with the emperor, and no one told Zhifei what Danhe was up to.

However, Zhi Fei probably guessed a little bit, and clarified Ba Tianzhai's position, and the next one to deal with should be the Northwest Mu family.

It is rare to see a red crane sitting on a branch in tight black clothes, leaning against a thick tree trunk, holding a piece of green grass in its mouth, with one leg folded on top of the other, playing with the new green leaf buds on the treetops, The sun is shining, casting pieces of tree shadows, the breeze is blowing, the tree shadows are swaying with the wind, and the sound of branches and leaves rubbing between the branches can be heard. "What do you look at, I'm not like your three-legged cat kung fu, who can't fall off." Dan He stared lazily at Zhi Fei and said.

A pair of leopard-like eyes stared so hard that he couldn't take another step forward, covered by invisible pressure, perhaps it was the murderous aura Yin Wuyao said.

For the uncle Danhe, Zhifei seldom treats him as an uncle, just as Danhe does not regard Zhifei as a nephew, but similar peach blossom eyes contain different souls, Danqiu is still the bright and beautiful maple leaf bush in his memory smiling teenage girl.

Danhe is more like a prodigal son, his sharp-edged outline is the breath of Jianghu people, cold, lonely, bloodthirsty, and arrogant.

In the matter of facing the mother and concubine, I am afraid that the word "impulse" should be added.

Dan He slowly closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, Zhi Po still stood there quietly, no matter how cold Dan He's face looked.

"Why don't you leave?" Danhe's brows were twisted into a Sichuan character, his dry lips were a little white and bloodless, and he looked very tired.

Zhi Fei thought for a while, opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, turned around to leave, just as he took a step, he was grabbed by the collar of the back of his neck by the red crane, and a brute force pulled him away. The posture of being pulled away was quite indecent, Dan He glanced at Zhi Po, "Why are you still so thin..."

Pushing Zhifei to the side of the tree, he sat down against the tree trunk first, looking at the blue sky, the red crane looked indifferent.Zhi Fei rubbed his back that hurt from the fall, and sat down with his arms around his knees, when he heard Dan He's voice in his ears, "...you have to be careful of that emperor."

After all, he is the biological father of Zhifei, so Dan He tried his best to suppress the anger and hostility in his heart, "He...is terrible. Even if I fight him one-on-one, I have no absolute chance of winning."

As he spoke, a glint of haze flashed across Dan He's eyes.

The emperor is indeed terrifying. His methods, resourcefulness, and thoughts are all terrifying, but this is necessary for an emperor. It is understandable that Zhifei cannot do this.It's just that Danhe's expression was too calm when he commented on Yin Wuyao, unlike the usual Danhe, which made Zhifei a little worried.

What did the emperor say to Danhe that would make Danhe obey him, yet he was so afraid?

"I won't hurt you anymore..." Yin Wuyao's words rang in his ears vaguely.

The matter of Ba Tianzhai is coming to an end soon, Yin Wuyao's secret plan is being realized step by step. Compared with when he knew nothing, Zhi Fei felt more uneasy in his heart. He knew that the emperor would not hurt him. I feel lost because I can't see the road ahead.

What should he do, what can he do, what qualifications does he have to be the crown prince, why Yin Wuyao is so obsessed with making him the crown prince... none of these questions can be figured out.

Don't think about it if you can't figure it out, the emperor's charming voice with a smile hovered in his mind in a low voice, making Zhifei feel a little dazed.

Ever since sitting under the tree with Dan He and watching the sky all afternoon, Zhi Po has never had a chance to talk to Dan He alone.

Yin Wuyao wrapped Zhifei's body in warm hands, and cautiously crossed a natural fissure, the cool wind rushed up from the ditch, supporting Zhifei's waist, Yin Wuyao said in a deep voice beside Zhifei's ear, " Watch out for the top of your head."

Hearing Yin Wuyao's words, as soon as Zhi Fei raised his head, he almost bumped into a branch a few inches away from the top of his head, and hurriedly lowered his head. This movement drove Yin Wuyao's lips to brush Zhi Fei's cheek, and the slippery touch made Yin Wuyao Wuyao was distracted for a while, and lowered his voice to cover up his heartbeat, "It's just ahead."

"Yeah." The sound as crisp as ding-dong spring water made Yin Wuyao's throat slip unconsciously, and he looked away to observe the surrounding terrain instead of Zhifei, but the warm breath of the person in his arms Always stays on the skin.

The houses in Badong are sparsely built, and the terrain of this mountain is not very flat. According to the previous mountain roads, it would take a long time to walk. The two of them took a short branch road. Both of them looked a little embarrassed.

Zhi Fei touched the stone tablet with Han Dali's name on it. Under the slightly protruding mound, not only Han Dali's body was buried. Many brothers from Eight Caves were buried here. Some of the pillars of the family had met and talked with Zhi Fei the day before, but now they are all gone.

Shen Rongku was still busy entertaining Apu in a hole, and no longer sent people to keep an eye on Zhibao's movements, Yin Wuyao stood beside Zhibao, looked around, stretched out his hand to gather Zhibao's clothes , "It's windy here, let's go."

Zhi Fei took a few glances at the ordinary stone tablet quietly embedded in the soil, and nodded.

They went to see the women and children behind the mountain. A group of innocent children ran among the mountains and forests. The women were washing clothes by the stream with wooden tubs. He wanted to go up, but Yin Wuyao beside him held him back and shook his head slowly.

To prevent more children from losing their fathers and women from losing their husbands, the only way is to end wars and disputes.

And the thoughts of ordinary people, those conspirators and ambitious people can't understand.

Looking back at Yin Wuyao, for some reason, Zhi Fei was suddenly filled with emotion, and he clenched that warm hand tightly.
