Si Tian Guan

Hearing the sound of the iron door above his head, it was too late for Rong Jiuan to ask people to leave, there was no place to hide in the small cell.

Ling He sat still, watching Liu Chongming who Shi Shiran walked down the stone steps with cold eyes.

"Lord Ling is here too," Liu Chongming nodded to the two of them, "Looks like I don't need to waste my time talking?"

The cell door was not closed, so he lowered his head and went in, and saw a few layers of greased paper on the floor, and put some porridge and side dishes.

Rong Jiu'an was not as cold and hostile as Ling He's. He stretched out his hand to ask him to sit down, and asked calmly, "Your Majesty came so early, isn't it Autumn?"

As they expected, Ren Rui not only made a successful comeback with Feng Yu's case, but also joined the Zuo Xiaowei. No matter how the people behind Ren Rui manipulated, someone should take the blame for the disaster in Jinnan Prefecture.

As for the governor of Jinnan Prefecture, who is now wearing black yarn steadily, it is self-evident who the scapegoat is.

"It's the Empress of Autumn." Liu Chongming didn't come empty-handed, the servant came in again to refill the dishes, and put a jug of wine in front of the three of them.

"I came today just to catch up with Rong Tanhua."

"Your Majesty, you are welcome." Rong Jiu'an has only been in the officialdom for a few years, and has had several ups and downs. He has long been indifferent, and really just chatted as if old friends were reuniting: "I never thought that your son would come to Dali Temple to report on his duties."

Liu Chongming smiled: "It's just shameless to be in this position. I don't have much experience and knowledge. I only rely on my colleagues to let me in."

Rong Jiu'an took the initiative to pour wine for the three of them, seeing Ling He was silent in the corner of his eye - he drank it all, and said to Liu Chongming: "Your Majesty is humble, but I feel that your Majesty is different from before, much more stable and mature. Good wine."

"Top-grade Pear Blossom White, if Rong Tanhua likes it, I can bring some here often." Liu Chongming only tasted it lightly and asked, "Didn't Rong Tanhua drink this kind of wine in Jinnan Mansion?"

Rong Jiuan shook his head.

Liu Chongming smiled and asked: "Then I'm curious, Rong Tanhua has amassed a lot of money, and what kind of wine is he drinking?"

Ling He slammed the wine glass on the ground and drank it: "Liu Chongming! Don't talk nonsense!"

"I didn't collect money." Rong Jiu'an said calmly, "It's not me."

No need to explain, all three of them knew it wasn't him.

"Really?" Liu Chongming reminded him to face up to the reality: "But now the witnesses from all parties are conclusive, and the name of Rong Jiu'an is written in black and white."

Rong Jiu'an pressed down on Ling He who was next to him, and quickly asked, "What do you want to say?"

"It's said that Rong Tanhua has a brilliant literary talent, is upright and clear, and it's not worth it to cut off a good head for such a small amount of money?"

Liu Chongming tapped his wine glass lightly, and saw that the two people on the opposite side had calmed down, waiting for the next sentence, and suddenly felt that his tantalizing appearance was really like Qu Shenzhou when he was the most annoying.

Near ink is black.

"Last year, Jinnan Prefecture and other places were hit by waterlogging. Since the first snowfall in the twelfth lunar month, there has been no rain in central Beijing for several months. Seeing this sunny day, it is really God's favor."

"After all, I am young. I haven't experienced anything. I just read some miscellaneous books. I saw that this kind of thing happened several times before. There was a severe flood outside Beijing, and a severe drought in Beijing the following year."

"I heard that the emperor was full of praise for Rong Tanhua's wonderful pen and flowers. I wonder if Rong Tanhua would like to write a poem asking for rain?"

Ling He couldn't help blurting out: "Ridiculous!"

Who doesn't know that this approach is just for the emperor's favor, if he is freed by relying on a poem or prose, then he will be admitted to the crime of corruption and perverting the law, and it will be an indelible stain from then on.

More importantly, if it doesn't rain, no matter how beautiful the article is, how can it impress the emperor?

"I know it sounds absurd, but isn't it absurd that this crime falls on Rong Tanhua's head? If you two have other ways, you won't be drinking here today," Liu Chongming looked at Rong Jiu'an: " What? Is Rong Tanhua reluctant to bear fame?"

"Jiu'an." Ling He called from the side: "Don't..."

If Rong Jiu'an is appreciated and appointed again, the most likely place to go is the Hanlin Academy, and no one knows the arrogance and integrity of the Hanlin students, just look at Liu Qingchi.

Rong Jiu'an's excellent articles were once circulated and praised in the Hanlin Academy. Although he was unhappy in the officialdom, he earned a good reputation. A hundred times the resentment.

"If you keep the green hills, you're not afraid of lack of firewood," Liu Chongming sneered, "Fame is more important than life, let Tanhua decide for himself. But the ugly thing is up front, it depends on whether it will rain at the right time or not." Will God give you a way to survive?"

"Fame is nothing." Rong Jiu'an got up and bowed his knees, "Young Master, please worry."

Ling He never interjected much about his decision, but after Liu Chongming left, he drank a few cups in silence.

"Jiu'an, it's me..."

——I am sorry for you.

"I've been out for a few years, and I've seen a lot of demons dancing wildly. If I can cure the absurdity with absurdity, nothing else matters." Rong Jiu'an stopped him, and just asked: "Brother, if we change places today, would you How would you choose?"

Ling He looked down at the shadow under his feet, and knew his answer clearly.

Suddenly, he felt that what Liu Chongming said about him before was correct.

They are all mortals of flesh and blood, and he can't be selfless at all. The indifference in the past was not because of any justice in his heart, but disgust.

He hates everyone except his parents and Jiu'an.

"Brother, I want to live a good life," Rong Jiu'an put his fingers on his shoulder: "You will too."

Ling He suddenly squatted down and pressed his head hard on his knees.

Jiu An's touch seemed to be burning the skin on his shoulder, although it had been more than 20 years, and even though it looked like a burn there, he knew in his heart that the slave mark was burned in his flesh and blood.

"Jiu'an, if you die..."

A suppressed choked sob squeezed out between clenched teeth.

"You're dead... I can... have no regrets..."

"I will live, and my parents need you too," Rong Jiu'an knelt down and held his head in front of his chest: "We all have to live well."

Liu Chongming boarded the carriage, and as expected, he saw that the person in the carriage was asleep again, wrapped in his cloak - until it covered his ankles.

This time, he didn't wait for anyone to ask sleepy-eyed questions, and he took the initiative to tell: "It's not time to eat yet, just lie down."

Qu Chenzhou sat up wrapped in a cloak, wiped his face, and there were two red marks on the left cheek, which was exactly the width of the slave ring on his wrist.

I don't know how long I slept, and even my arms were numb.

Liu Chongming pulled out a soft cushion from the hidden grid underneath, squeezed into the edge of the couch, and leaned over to cushion his back.

"Pillow this next time."

Qu Chenzhou was lifted up by his upper body, so sleepy that he didn't want to move, he fell down again, his voice was nasal: "Rong Jiu'an agreed?"

"I agreed, it went smoother than expected."

"That's natural. After a few years outside, Rong Jiu'an's edges and corners are almost worn away." He was squeezed out of place, so he put his foot on Liu Chongming's shoulder and said, "Ling He will follow Rong Jiu Let's go, if we can get him, Linghe is not far away."

Liu Chongming grabbed his ankle and kissed him sideways: "The next step is to depend on you whether he lives or dies."

"It's up to his fate, I'll do my best." Qu Chenzhou is not humble, but he doesn't dare to speak big words. In case - when he didn't pay attention, the heavy rain will fall sooner and later, so Rong Jiu'an can only wait for the autumn to fall head.

He kicked a few times, but he couldn't get rid of it. Instead, someone went up his ankle and pinched his calf. After struggling twice, he fell limp on the couch again.

"Is this exhausting?"

Liu Chongming also fit to lie down, the beauty couch was narrow, it was not able to accommodate two people, he lay on his back, hugged Qu Chenzhou to his chest, and then he could lie down.

"Are your legs still sore? I'll rub them for you at night."

Qu Chenzhou lay face down on his chest, the sound of his heartbeat was clear and powerful in his ears, upon hearing what he said, he suddenly reached down and pinched hard.

Liu Chongming was in so much pain that he pinched him with his knees, held his hands in front of his chest, and said bitterly, "Do you want to marry a eunuch?"

"It doesn't matter if you do some bastard things and be a eunuch."

"Bastard?" Liu Chongming rubbed his waist with the hand behind him: "Is there nothing you like? Who is thumping happily in the bathtub? Chasing me..."

The soft tip of his tongue prevented him from saying the following words.

Qu Chenzhou leaned against him and bit him like a half-human fox, smirking slyly: "Do you want to bridal here? Do you want to?"

Liu Chongming got up suddenly, and the two changed positions. As soon as their hands touched their lower abdomen, the frightened little fox put away its paws and obediently exposed its belly.

"My son... Didn't my son agree..."

"Promise what?" Liu Chongming raised his eyebrows and asked, "I forgot."

The corners of Qu Chenzhou's eyes turned red again, his eyes flickered and wandered around, this avoidance seemed to be a refusal to welcome.

Liu Chongming grinned inwardly, regretting that he had promised such a thing, the little fox's skin was smooth, soft and gentle.He even doubted that if he endured for too long, he would kill someone on the day of the bridal chamber.

"Where did those bastard things of Shizi... come from?"

"Are you afraid that I will play around outside?" Liu Chongming seemed to have not played enough, his fingertips ran across his earlobe from his eyebrows, and then twirled around his neck: "What if I play around? Are you going to come to catch the adulterer?"

Qu Chenzhou thought seriously for a moment: "I will go far."

"Don't! Don't go!" Liu Chongming panicked and quickly clarified: "No one else, no one, I asked Zhiwei for it a long time ago, and it's all new..."

Qu Chenzhou figured out the meaning of the words: "The prince has prepared these for me a long time ago?"

Liu Chongming uttered words under the quilt, pinned him in the crook of his neck, and refused to let him see: "Didn't you...know that I will... think of you at night...that...don't laugh! If you laugh again, I'll kiss you Already!"

But the more people were blocked, the more the patient laughter leaked from the gap between the tight lips, the more embarrassing it was.

His little fox is just as annoying as it is lovable.

Seeing that his face was swollen like a pig's liver, Qu Chenzhou hooked his neck and repeatedly nodded at the birthmarks under the corners of his eyes.

"Not angry, not angry. Crying and laughing, the yellow dog peeing, the rooster playing the gong, and the duck blowing the horn."

Liu Chongming was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

"When I was crying before, Steward Lin read it to me," Qu Chenzhou tugged at the corner of his clothes with a smile: "It's been a trouble, tell Shizi something serious, and I have to trouble Shizi to transfer people."

"If there is any trouble, don't bother, you say."

"I just mentioned Zhiwei, I just remembered. Zhiwei... I always feel that he looks kind of nice. Can the prince go and find out where he is from, what disaster happened to his family, and who was there before."

Liu Chongming's heart skipped a beat: "Is there a problem with Zhiwei?"

"Maybe not. It's just that I can't remember it. Maybe I'm scaring myself, lest I miss any trivial matter."

"Don't be too anxious, I'll send someone to check."

Qu Chenzhou nodded, and asked again: "Madam, how is the investigation?"

"All of them," Liu Chongming frowned, leaning against the window, looking at the passers-by slowly outside: "Including what my mother ate, all of them, besides aconitum|alkali, there are star anise maple flowers, Goose flowers are not very poisonous, and the amount is small."

No matter what kind of palace snacks Mrs. Liu brought to see Mrs. Bai, the fetus in Mrs. Bai's womb would inevitably be deformed or aborted.

But this is the expected optimistic situation, at least Mrs. Liu is not aware of it.

"I heard that Madam has been ill recently, is it true?"

Liu Chongming knew that this kind of "sickness" behind closed doors was nothing new to Qu Chenzhou, and he did not hide it: "At first it was a lie, but later my father asked the government doctor to investigate carefully... it is better to take more time to recuperate. "

He didn't go into details, but Qu Shenzhou probably understood.

If it was really the queen who used Madam Liu to play tricks behind her back, Madam Liu might not be able to escape the catastrophe. It doesn't matter if she eats these things. If it takes years and years, it only takes a moment to collapse.

"I thought the son would not be able to hold back." Qu Chenzhou didn't know whether to be relieved or sighed: "The son is much more mature than when I first met."

"Wonderful praise." Liu Chongming smiled forcedly. He has been praised twice today, but it doesn't taste good to be mature.

He knew that among the three princes, King Ning was not the first choice, what's more, the emperor was already dissatisfied with Liao Guangming, and he revealed Bing Tilian to him through Eunuch Yu. This was a good opportunity for him to move forward.

Next, I need to make another plan. When my sister thinks that the doctor Xia is "inappropriate", she will take down King Qi first.

But now that his horoscope is gone, he is still the little Tui Cheng in Dali Temple who can't do anything, and it's useless to be anxious.

"My lord, let's take a small path from here." Qu Chenzhou didn't seem to see his troubles, and dutifully jumped out of the car first.

According to the news, the place where Ren Rui went to drink today is the nearby restaurant.

Liu Chongming opened the curtain of the car, looked at the hand stretched out to him, and smiled.

What to be afraid of.
