In the imperial study room, An Qingxuan closed the document, put the brush in his hand on the pen pillow, looked up at An Qingfeng who was walking, and asked, "Are you sick?"

An Qingfeng knew that what he was asking was about calling the imperial doctor into the palace yesterday, so he stopped and replied, "It's not me." He lowered his eyes and looked down, wondering if he deliberately avoided meeting An Qingxuan's gaze.

"Yes—" An Qingxuan had already noticed the clue, "Is it the detailed work?"

Since that meticulous work can reveal words that should not be revealed from An Qingfeng's mouth, An Qingfeng's love for him is self-evident, and keeping him alive is something An Qingfeng can do.

"Yes."

"You tortured?"

An Qingfeng shook his head.

"Then why call the imperial doctor?" Isn't it convenient for the imperial doctor to treat him and continue the interrogation?

An Qingxuan suddenly felt ominous.

An Qingfeng raised her eyes: "He is sick."

This imperial brother is really a headache——An Qingxuan said helplessly, "He used you and betrayed you, but you still like him?"

"Yes," An Qingfeng sternly frowned unconsciously, "so I beg Brother Huang to spare his life."

An Qingxuan frowned even more: "Aren't you afraid of his second betrayal?"

"I have my measure."

"If you're sensible—" At this point, An Qingxuan paused, temporarily gave up on continuing to discuss the matter, and then said, "Is there any result for coming to see me today?"

"Wang Zhongshu Wang Meng."

"It's detailed, is it believable?"

An Qingfeng nodded: "Although it is impossible to find out his background, Lan...he mentioned Wang Meng earlier, even if it was cryptic, it can be regarded as contact now."

"What did he say?"

"One time he asked me what I thought of the ministers in the court, one time he said that he saw Wang Zhongshu on the road, and then he still tried to talk me out of it."

"Have you asked anything else?"

"A month ago - I asked my younger brother if he wanted to sit on the dragon chair."

"What's your answer?"

"Do not want to."

An Qingxuan seemed to have heard the joke, and a smile appeared on his originally serious face: "Why don't you agree first, and see his next move?"

"If he was actually sent by the emperor, then wouldn't my head fall to the ground?" An Qingfeng looked at An Qingxuan impartially, his attitude seemed to be gossip, which unexpectedly made An Qingxuan laugh out loud. After a while, he stopped talking and asked, "Then what is your real thought?"

"Do not want to."

"Is this the truth, or is it just to save your head?"

"Brother Huang has watched his younger brother grow up, and he understands that his younger brother has no interest in politics and only wants to have fun. Besides, the bad reputation that his younger brother only loves men has spread throughout Kyushu. Even if he sits on the throne, he will not be popular among the people. If I can’t support the wall, if there are ten more orders from Zhongshu, I won’t be able to touch the throne, Wang Zhongshu couldn’t possibly not know, most likely he wants to separate you and me, so that I can be used by him, Brother Huang, don’t worry about it.”

An Qingxuan got up, walked out from behind the desk, walked towards An Qingfeng step by step, and said: "If you are muddy, why should I talk to you?" He stopped, stopped two steps away from An Qingfeng, and continued : "Maybe it's not Wang Meng, the answer is too direct but adulterated."

"Brother Huang, are you afraid of wronging Wang Zhongshu?"

An Qingxuan didn't deny it, but said: "I gave him his current status, if he has problems, then I should change my eyes - what other information have you been hiding all this time?"

"Probably..." An Qingfeng closed her eyes, as if she was deep in thought, "It's gone."

"Probably? How long has he been with you?"

"Five years."

"Haven't I asked you for any other information in five years?"

"He is very cautious, and most of the temptations he makes are painless."

"Oh? What did you say?"

"I didn't say anything. Seeing that I didn't want to say anything, he rarely asked."

"So you really wanted to tell me about the southward incident?" An Qingxuan thought that if the insider hadn't revealed the matter, the matter would not have developed to this point—he didn't want to suspect that it was An Mingjing who wanted to harm his younger brother, not to mention that this matter would implicate the Hua family. It shouldn't be at this time to kill An Mingxi cruelly, let alone Hua Yaxi.

"Chendi just wanted to give the people behind the scenes a breakthrough. While they thought they had something to gain, they also bit the hook in the bait--I guessed that he would ask me more boldly, and even send an invitation, but for the Fourth Prince Let's start... This movement is too big, it is very different from the previous repeated and careful temptations, and I can't predict the result of this time."

"You offer the bait and then reject their outstretched hand?"

An Qingfeng was silent, and An Qingxuan asked again: "Since you want to attract people behind the scenes, why bother to refuse the invitation to support you?"

"I said that--"

"You can enter the palace to discuss this matter with me after accepting it. You refuse because you want to save his life too much." An Qingxuan got up and walked out of the desk, "You also know that once he participates in the conspiracy, no matter what, he will Doomed."

An Qingfeng and An Qingxuan met their gazes, and said: "The moment he participated in it, the charge of treason has already been settled—if the minister wants to lie to the emperor, conceal his existence, or push a scapegoat What's wrong with getting out?"

"Do you think you can fool me?"

"You can always try," An Qingfeng looked directly at An Qingxuan, "but I didn't choose to lie to you."

Seeing An Qingfeng's upright and confident appearance, An Qingxuan closed his eyes, let out a sigh of relief, and said: "If the Fourth Prince makes trouble, let alone your beloved pet, together with you, I will not forgive you lightly."

An Qingfeng took a step back, bent over, and pushed his hands in a bow: "Thank you, Brother Huang."

An Qingxuan opened his eyes, looked at the back of An Qingfeng's head for a while, turned around, turned his hands behind his back, and asked, "When do you plan to visit the queen mother?" After speaking, he walked to the coffee table, turned around again, and sat on the left chair. And signaled and signaled An Qingfeng to sit on the right chair.An Qingfeng didn't move, only said: "I have no such plan."

"She is the queen mother."

"Why did you say this all of a sudden? What did she say to you?" Looking down, she was somewhat condescending, and An Qingfeng also noticed the disrespect, so she still sat on the armchair on the right side of the coffee table.

"She's sixty one." An Qingxuan said, with a gesture, Wan Ba ​​picked up the kettle on the other coffee table, walked over quickly, and carefully made tea for the two of them.

"A person as tough as her is sure to live a long life."

"She is indeed strict with you, but she really misses you."

"Brother, do you know why I hate women?"

Wan Ba ​​hunched over and poured tea for the two of them.

An Qingxuan thought of what he saw when he opened the door, and after a moment of silence, he replied: "I know."

An Qingfeng's fingertips touched the wall of the cup, and he withdrew his hand because of the heat. He looked down at his left hand and rubbed his index finger with his thumb, which was still warm.

"Okay, I'll go to see her, but I can't guarantee that I won't make her angry." An Qingfeng stood up, tiptoeing towards the door.

"Leave her alone!" An Qingfeng picked up the teacup and took a sip—the water temperature was almost low, and the tea leaves were not fully brewed.

An Qingfeng didn't make a promise, and walked straight out of the imperial study and walked towards the back garden.

Pass through the imperial garden and arrive at the Yongshou Palace where the Empress Dowager Yan Huizhi lives—this was the plan, but on the way, An Qingfeng was attracted by the jagged rocks and stopped beside the rockery dotted with red flowers and green leaves. After a short stop, a The maid did not know when she came to his side, she bowed her knees and said, "My lord, please——"

An Qingfeng took two steps back from the sudden female voice, and turned his head to see a pretty woman. The tip of his nose smelled the fragrance of flowers in the garden, or the sachet that the woman was carrying. The smell in the air began to make him sick. .He calmed down, looked around the woman, and looked at the luxurious old lady under the pavilion——Yan Huizhi obviously just sat down, and after she sat down, she raised her head and looked at An Qingfeng.After a moment's hesitation, An Qingfeng still went towards her, and the maid also followed An Qingfeng, and then returned to Yan Huizhi's side.

Before stepping into the pavilion, I heard Yan Huizhi's way: "If it's not for the old man to come out to breathe, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to see Prince Gong before he lays down in the coffin, right?"

Hearing this, An Qingfeng stopped outside the pavilion and turned on her toes, as if intending to leave.Yan Huizhi said: "Sit down and talk to the old man, it won't take much of your time."

An Qingfeng turned to Jingting again, glanced at the six maids, and said, "You all step back."

The maids didn't know what to do, so they could only raise their heads cautiously, and looked at the two female officials, but the female officials chose to listen to Yan Huizhi's words - "Stand back." Yan Huizhi only looked at An Qingfeng, and did not talk to any of them. A person meets the eye.

So the maid retreated to the outside of the pavilion, and the four maids, led by two female officials, stepped back dozens of steps and stood by under the cloudy sky.

An Qingfeng walked up to the Jingting Pavilion and sat down opposite Yan Huizhi.Seeing his silence, Yan Huizhi could only take the initiative to break the silence once again: "In the past, I put you under my nose, lest you learn your emperor's brother."

"Isn't that bad for Brother Huang? If I learn half of Brother Huang's appearance, the word 'filial piety' will be able to catch me."

As if she didn't hear his words, Yan Huizhi continued as if no one was around: "Heaven failed to take care of me... I thought that the more painstaking efforts I put into you, the better you would grow, but in the end, the old boy still went astray. "

"'Partial'? 'Good'? What is good? Is it good that the Queen Mother likes it?"

"I like it, okay?"

Anger rose in An Qingfeng's heart, but he didn't let it continue to burn, but chose to suppress it temporarily and got up to leave: "If there is nothing to say, I will not bother you anymore." Fang walked past Yan Huizhi, and Yan Huizhi held her hand He grabbed his wrist, held it tightly, and said, "Don't you want to have your own child!"

"I don't need a child," An Qingfeng pulled out his hand, "After so many years, you still don't think you are wrong, right?"

"You will regret it, when you are old, you will regret that you have no children—"

An Qingxuan interrupted her: "Do you regret it?"

Yan Huizhi was silent.

Turning over the past chapters in his mind, An Qingfeng, who had already been burned by nameless anger, couldn't help but yelled at Yan Huizhi: "Let a woman rape me, do you regret it!" Limbs seemed to be handcuffed again, and there was a moment in his hands and feet. Difficulty moving, even limp.

Yan Huizhi, who had always been reserved and self-willed, was stunned by the yelling and trembled all over.

An Qingfeng put away his exposed emotions, with a cold face, he said "I'll come to see you when you step into the coffin" and left Yan Huizhi behind.

As the autumn wind came, An Qingfeng suddenly felt a little cold, and couldn't help wrapping his arms around his chest.

He thought, he must go back home quickly, he wanted to hug his Lan'er.

But Yan Huizhi, who stayed under the pavilion, just straightened his shoulders and neck, and his outstretched thin arms were rustling because they couldn't resist the cool wind.

The female officer did not know when she got the cloak, put it on for Yan Huizhi, and said with concern: "The Queen Mother..."

Like being strangled by someone's neck, Yan Huizhi, whose breathing was stagnant for a while, took a breath intermittently. She stared at her red eyes, stood up, stabilized her voice, and said, "Go back to Yongshou Palace."

……

One month later, a group of refugees who dressed only half better than a beggar stepped into the gate of Luojing before the sun went down.It took more than an hour to walk outside the imperial city, but before reaching the city gate, he was stopped by the guards of the imperial city.One of the teenagers stood up and took out the seal and token from the lapel before the sword point. The extraordinary demeanor under the unkempt face made people mistakenly think that King's Landing.

He said, "I want to see my father."

The author has something to say:

Thank you Ray for your life!

I haven't seen him for a long time, and I haven't seen Jinjiang Orz for a long time.Because of something at home, I packed up my things and went back to my hometown immediately after the exam. Later, I was injured by a board (the murderer was the wind, purely bad luck), so all kinds of things, the time to update is much later than expected-but !Now I'm ready for the shift and eager to try (as long as my brain doesn't crash Orz.

Please give me more advice in the future!
