Si Tian Guan

For several days in a row, Qu Shenzhou fell asleep after midnight. He had too many things on his mind, but he still couldn't think of a solution. He was so anxious that he couldn't fall asleep.

Now he is no longer lonely and brave, unable to give up everything, on the contrary, it is even more difficult than before.

The purpose of the emperor sending him to Chongming and sending King Ning and King Huai to pick him up is obvious.

At that time, he knew that it was not a good thing for him to go out of Jinxiu camp like this, and the red mark on his neck was insignificant in the eyes of outsiders.

When Chongming first met him, he still knew who was behind him, let alone the emperor.Now it is in the hands of Chongming to test it out, and it will go to King Huai in another day.

His fear and loathing were inescapable shadows, and the mere thought of being alone with that person made him shiver and vomit.

But this is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.

If he crosses over, he will make great strides forward, if he fails to pass, he will be implicated countless times.

When he was in the Jinxiu Camp, he had no chance to break the teacup or self-mutilate himself with ceramic tiles. Liu Chongming only gave him the freedom of one hand, and when the meal came as scheduled, he force-fed him spoonfuls.

He was still as cold as ice at first, but he was almost collapsed after being fed with a few mouthfuls of rice.

The plate of Chunjiang crucian carp with its bones picked off was overturned to the ground, and at the same time as the crisp sound of the plate breaking on the ground, it was the slap on Liu Chongming's face.

Liu Chongming let him do it, until his tears dripped on the brocade quilt, and then passed another meal in.

"Shen Zhou, don't hurt yourself, I will find a solution for everything."

He became so useless that he ate the meal whimpering and never thought of hurting himself again.

But this hurdle is always to be overcome, even he can't think of any way, I don't know what else Liu Chongming can do.

It is late spring, and the dawn is early.

Today should be the day when he should call for divination. He routinely got up at Mao, and when Chen arrived, breakfast was already served downstairs.

Since the little eunuch guarding the gate at night also had problems, the people outside the gate were replaced by Nanya soldiers, who were personally selected by Bo Yan.

When handing over the roster, he saw Bo Yan nodding to him very lightly.

The servants in the palace knew that he liked to be quiet, so they exited lightly after finishing the arrangement. In addition to the daily porridge and side dishes, there were also seasonal fruits and vegetables on the table. A little yellow edge of oil paper was exposed under the cut melons and fruits.

Qu Chenzhou glanced at the back of the figure guarding the door, and calmly pulled out the piece of paper folded to the width of a finger.

On it were handwriting that he was all too familiar with, and it made his eyes turn red even more, but it wasn't just the handwriting.

He has lived two lives for dozens of years, and he has always only known what it is like to tear himself apart to pave the way and build bridges for others, but no one has ever escorted him.

The thing that he once wanted so much is now handed to him, but he dare not reach out to take it.

The future is uncertain, he can hardly see his own way of life, why bother to provoke someone who shouldn't be provoked, he doesn't want to live again, and he doesn't want to see the bloody camera nail again.

No matter how warm your heart is, there will always be a day when it becomes cold, let alone meeting someone as cold as a stone like him.

Chongming will leave disappointed one day.

But if he comforted himself again, he walked out of the Guanxing Pavilion with the routine guide, and walked on the old daily road, Qu Shenzhou's heartbeat was still beating, and when he approached the door, he forcibly suppressed himself.

What was different from the past was that apart from Emperor Yu and Yu Dexi, there were many people sitting in Qingxin Juli, besides the three princes, there were also Bo Yan and Ling He.

And of course Liu Chongming.

Sure enough, everyone came, just like the note said.

Qu Chenzhou bowed to Emperor Yu: "I have seen the emperor."

Turning around again: "I have seen the three princes."

"Shen Zhou, sit down and talk."

Emperor Yu gestured to the side, the empty seat was between King Huai and Liu Chongming, he sat down without looking sideways, as if he didn't see the eyes falling on him from all sides.

If it was normal, it would be the time for the others to retreat, but Emperor Yu didn't say anything, but only motioned for Yu Dexi to hand over a volume.

Qu Shenzhou glanced through it hastily, his face moved slightly, a little surprised.

Yu Dexi explained to him with a smile on his face.

"Congratulations to Qu Sitian, the son of the world has already found out the ins and outs, and cleared up Qu Sitian's grievances."

Qu Chenzhou's eyes slanted to the left, and then fell back to the scroll, hearing Yu Dexi's tone of joy, as if he was sincerely happy for him.

"Xiao Liangzi recruited both of them. He said that it was indeed a false imperial decree. He brought you into the harem in the middle of the night. His intentions were wrong. It's a pity that the root cause has not been found yet, and the crown prince is doing his best to investigate."

"Vinland is another one."

In front of the emperor, Yu Dexi didn't say much, and the affair of the tryst and affair was clearly written in the volume——Wen Lan found out that the young captain Gao Gao who was a good friend had found a new love, and they had already exchanged sex with the other party, so she was so anxious that she didn't care It was forbidden in the palace, and she sneaked out in the middle of the night. After making out, she couldn't help but confront people, causing her face to be torn apart.

——The captain was afraid that she would make a fuss and ruin his bright future, so he lost his head for a moment and strangled Wenlan to death in the rockery.

The evidence was conclusive and the confession was true, so Wen Lan's case was closed.

Qu Chenzhou flipped back and forth twice, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"Shen Zhou," Emperor Yu called him, "It's all thanks to Chongming this time, why don't you thank him?"

Qu Chenzhou lowered his head slightly, and immediately got up and knelt down: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trustworthy minister's innocence!"

Emperor Yu was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "They said you have an awkward temper. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect that you really have a temper. If you don't learn to be more serious, you have to learn his bad temper. Just look at him."

If someone else said this, Liu Chongming would have jumped up on the spot and yelled "What are you looking at?", but now he could only hold back his temper and turned sideways.

It was the first time that Qu Shenzhou looked over, and saw Liu Chongming leaning on a crutch beside his seat.

King Ning didn't think it was a big deal when he watched the excitement, he laughed so hard that he wanted to slap his legs: "Chongming, I told you not to listen to people's persuasion. Qu Sitian has already spoken, and you still dare to go horse racing with Shi Yan. It's a big loss of your life." , if it wasn't for Shi Yan, how could it be a matter of one leg?"

"What advice do you listen to? Does he really regard himself as a living god?" Liu Chongming couldn't get angry, and his face was ashen: "I ride my own horse, and I break my own leg, what does it have to do with him? Could it be that he cursed me to death another day?" , I still want to kneel and beg him to save my life?"

"Chongming! Don't talk nonsense," Emperor Yu scolded in a deep voice: "Shen Zhou's words are effective, next time you should listen to what you should listen to."

Liu Chongming pursed his lips, a little aggrieved, and looked at Qu Chenzhou, and the two turned their faces away at the same time.

Emperor Yu watched the two of them get angry, and finally couldn't hold back their seriousness.

"Look at the two of you, one with a needle point and the other with a wheat awn, you're both sitting in this position, so many people are watching, why are you having a childish temper?"

Only King Ning sneered and coughed embarrassingly when he saw that the expressions of the people around him were dull.

"Your Majesty's admonition, I will keep it in my heart." Qu Shenzhou stood up and cupped his hands, and asked, "How should I do divination today?"

"Not urgent."

"Qu Sitian, I have something to ask for advice." This time, the person who signaled to speak to Emperor Yu was Ling He.

Qu Chenzhou looked at Emperor Yu puzzledly, then nodded to Ling He: "Excuse me, Ling Shaoqing."

"Qu Sitian said that he was called out that night. According to what Qu Sitian said, the next official found that the road you walked was leading to Yuxiu Palace, and Yuxiu Palace, Guanxing Pavilion and Cining Palace were not on the same road. Qu Sitian How did Si Tian get to the Compassion Palace?"

As soon as Ling He said this, anyone who knew something understood immediately why there were so many people here today, even King Ning held his breath and stared at Ling He.

"It was too dark at night and the lights were not bright. I was not familiar with the harem, so I was in a panic and didn't know what to do, so I went to the Palace of Compassion and Ning."

Qu Chenzhou looked at each other calmly: "Ling Shaoqing must have heard of it. I am a spiritual speaker and never lie."

Ling He's unchanging indifference seems to stick to his face.

"The next official has been in charge of the Criminal Division of Dali Temple for several years. Those who have been interrogated at first said that they did not lie."

He opened the box beside him, got up and moved forward, and showed Qu Chenzhou the three porcelain vases embedded in brocade: "If Qu Sitian is really not lying, do you dare to try this?"

Qu Chenzhou glanced at Emperor Yu, took out one, and stroked the words on the porcelain bottle: "Bi, Hong, Zi."

"Qu Sitian must have never heard of Bi Hongzi in my Jinxiu Camp."

Liu Chongming habitually wanted to tilt his body, but hissed again in pain, his face became even more unattractive.

"Even if it's steel and iron, it can recruit all eight generations of ancestors. How about it, Qu Sitian? The emperor didn't let me interrogate you before, but now it's the emperor's intention."

Qu Chenzhou's fingers holding the porcelain bottle turned white, and he turned his head and called softly: "Your Majesty..."

Yu Dexi was serving Emperor Yu and sniffing snuff, but no one answered him, and the time became extremely long, as if a knife was slowly being cut from head to toe.

He knelt under the steps, bit his lower lip and begged again: "Your Majesty, I really did not lie, I will not lie."

Emperor Yu took a long time to let out a breath, and spoke slowly.

"Shen Zhou, I believe in you. But you live in the palace, you are not in compliance with the rules, and now you are walking around at night, and many people impeach you, I should have an explanation."

He leaned over and touched the top of Qu Shenzhou's head: "I still have some questions, let Ling He ask them together, go with him."

Qu Chenzhou's eyes were red, he pursed his lips, and bowed down: "I listen to the emperor, I have not lied, and I will not disappoint the emperor."

Bo Yan, who was always guarding the door, held his waist knife and stretched out his hand: "Qu Sitian, please."

Ling He followed closely behind with the volume in his hands, King Huai raised his eyes slightly, seeing Yu Dexi's gaze swept past him, he also got up and followed.

It wasn't until Mu Jingchen also went out that King Ning woke up like a dream.

Liu Chongming was about to get the crutches beside him, when Emperor Yu said with a smile, "Chongming has trouble walking, so just sit here with me. It's been a long time since I played a game with you."

Yu Dexi helped him to sit down on the chair beside the couch, took the chessboard and stood there with his hands down.

Liu Chongming first covered Heizi's chess basket and hugged him in his arms: "Your Majesty, give Heizi to your servants."

"Little slick," Emperor Yu laughed, "You are not bad at chess, Ah Zheng has praised you, why do you always hold on to black pieces."

"The subject is no match for the emperor, and the subject is afraid of losing, so the emperor will let the subject have another son."

Liu Chongming got up to straighten the chessboard, forgetting that he was limping on one leg, and gasped in pain.

"Sit down," Emperor Yu motioned him to sit down first, and blamed him: "Because you are young, you are reckless, and you are not careful. I heard from Jing Yan that Shen Zhou was angry with you and said this, Why don't you take it to heart?"

The sunspot was held in his hand, and it took a long time before it fell down.

Liu Chongming said sullenly: "Your Majesty, I don't want to be an official in the same court with him, so the Emperor might as well accept my badge and let me continue to do business."

"Nonsense," Emperor Yu scolded with a smile, "I didn't see eye to eye with Ling He in Dali Temple, but now I'm promoted, and I'm at odds with Shen Zhou. Do you really think this court is your place to mess around?"

Liu Chongming was silenced by the words, and after a while he replied: "Your Majesty, don't be fooled by him."

"How to say?"

"At the beginning, I saw that he was pitiful, so my heart softened for a while, and I spent a lot of money to treat his face. But I didn't expect that after the cure, he would start to be restless."

"My lord, they all said that I treated him harshly. In fact, he tried to cheat me of money a few times, and even wanted to swallow my shop, so I punished him."

"Speaking of it, I'm not afraid of the emperor's jokes. After he entered the palace, I only found out that he was trying to date the three princes."

A sunspot landed on the chessboard with a slap.

"Chongming is so smart," Emperor Yu asked him, "The Jinxiu camp with thousands of people is well organized, and the people around them don't care about it."

Liu Chongming coughed embarrassingly: "Chen... I don't see him very much during the day, but at night..."

Emperor Yu laughed straight: "He did tell me that he came from a humble background, Xiao wanted money and wanted to go up, it's human nature to think about it."

"He..." Liu Chongming was angry: "Your majesty, you are too partial to him. I have raised him for several years, even a dog should know how to repay his kindness. He used his minister as a stepping stone, and he passed it so lightly! Chen ...The minister refuses to accept!"

Emperor Yu said calmly: "Chongming should be so angry. He must have put a lot of thought into Shen Zhou. I see that his handwriting is pretty good, almost the same as yours."

Liu Chongming scratched his head: "My father always punishes me for copying the house rules, several times, and I will let him... Your Majesty, please don't tell my father."

Emperor Yu nodded at him and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Little cunning."

"Your Majesty, even if you scold me, I still have to say that Qu Chenzhou..."

Liu Chongming didn't finish his sentence, and a shrill scream came from the side hall not far away: "No...no..."

The chess piece in his hand landed steadily on the chessboard, as if he didn't hear anything.

"I will never forgive him..."
