Si Tian Guan

Liu Chongming walked quickly all the way from the door to the inner courtyard, his face was always sullen, and no one dared to say a word.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed the Hanging Flower Gate, someone came up to him without knowing his face: "My lord."

When he heard the voice calling himself, he stopped abruptly, he didn't know what it was like for a moment, he was either relieved or angry, pushed all the vicious words in his stomach to the back of his tongue, and he swallowed them with difficulty.

Qu Chenzhou looked at him uncertainly, not aware of his immediate anger: "What will the son gain from entering the palace today?"

Of course there are gains, he has to face his previous failures, and has to admit that he has gone the wrong way.

"Qu Chenzhou, who are you?"

He asked again without giving up, and as expected, there was only silence to answer him.

"Leave me alone, I want to be quiet for a while."

Liu Chongming walked away, his mind was in a mess. From the corner of his vision, he saw that Qu Chenzhou seemed to want to say something, but was forced to retreat by his own words, and stood silently in place.

There was such a momentary impulse that he wanted to turn around and ask, but he only paused for a moment before turning around.

"Don't follow me!"

When he closed the study door, his hands were still trembling.

What Qu Chenzhou said has come true, my sister's eyes are like a torch, and she should have seen the clues soon after entering the palace, but my sister did not dare to conceive with the emperor's favor, because...

Because of his incompetence.

Liu Chongming put his head on the table, blinked, and something cold fell on the back of his hand.

What has he been doing all these years?I thought I was doing my best for my elder brother, but I ignored more important things.

If things go on like this, if one day someone attacks the Liu family, he won't even have the strength to fight back.

He believed what Qu Shenzhou said.

Could it be that in the previous life that Qu Chenzhou lived, he danced around blindfolded like this, dragging the entire Liu family into the abyss without knowing it?

The thought made him tremble with fear.

But in the chaos of his mind, he seemed to be able to hear Qu Chenzhou's calm and indifferent voice——Shi Zi is like this...is it really considered mature?If Brother Ling's matter is brought up, Shizi will be angered, should I consider whether I need to find the Lord again?

——If the son intends to use such innocence to seize the heir in the future, it is better to tell him earlier that my mere life is not worth mentioning, and the poor Bailiu family will suffer together.

Vigorously wiping his eyes with his sleeve, Liu Chongming took a deep breath, straightened his waist, and did not call anyone, dripping water and ink, taking a pen to copy the scriptures, and calmed down.

Although he wasted more than four years in vain, fortunately God was merciful, Qu Shenzhou pointed out the wrong way for him, no matter who this person was, he had to make good use of it, so that he could not disappoint the people around him.

His sister is waiting for him.

This road is a long way to go, writing very fast, after a few pages, my mood gradually calms down.

The sun outside the window had already slanted to the west, and there was only a little afterglow left. He shook the paper with wet ink, and was about to put it aside. Suddenly, he felt blessed, looked at the paper from a distance, and took it out from the grid under the desk. Another stack of papers.

It was something Qu Shenzhou wrote before, and he said it might be useful in the future, so he put it here together.

He put the two kinds of handwriting side by side, and then he figured out why he had a very strange feeling when he saw Qu Shenzhou writing.

There is only a very subtle difference in the fonts of the two of them, and it is almost impossible to distinguish them if they are read by outsiders.

This discovery made him stay for a long time, until the desk was dark and the last ray of afterglow was swallowed up, Liu Chongming suddenly jumped up and ran towards the bedroom like flying.

"Sink the boat!"

He remembered.

Before going to the palace in the morning, the butler brought him something. He was so upset at the time that he didn't take it to heart, and stuffed it in his arms without thinking about it.

Seeing the darkening sky now, he remembered.

What the housekeeper gave him was Qu Shenzhou's medicine!

He also finally knew that when he came back, Qu Chenzhou hesitated to speak, what exactly he wanted to say.

Today is Sakuya!

There was no one in the sarong, so he backed out quickly, and the servants in the yard rushed forward, saying that they saw Brother Xiao Qu going to the east wing in the afternoon.

There are several wing rooms on the east side of the inner courtyard, one of which was specially allocated by Liu Chongming to Qu Shenzhou.

He ran in the yard and looked into the house through the corridor. Before he got close to the wing room, he heard a "thud" sound, like the sound of clothes being torn.

Liu Chongming looked at the sky, and there was still some time before Xu Shi, so he lightened his steps.

When the weather warmed up, the window of the wing room would be opened a crack. He stood behind a tree with new leaves, tilted his head slightly, and looked into the window.

From here, you can directly see the desk in the room.

There was another "stinging" sound, this time he saw it with his own eyes, it was indeed the sound of tearing clothes.

There was an old cloth on the table, Qu Shenzhou held the scissors in one hand, and cut off another piece.

Liu Chongming watched silently.

After cutting enough cloth strips on the table, Qu Chenzhou picked up a few strips, stroked them in his hands, bit one end with his teeth, and braided the cloth strips into a bunch with both hands, and pulled them to try his strength, and then tied them to the On the wrist of the left hand, and then use the other end to wrap around the right hand.

From what he didn't understand at the beginning, Liu Chongming finally understood now - Qu Chenzhou couldn't get the medicine, and he seemed to know that the medicine might be very painful when it happened, so he planned to tie his hands and feet in advance to avoid hurting himself when it happened.

He couldn't understand this person.

If Qu Shenzhou was silent before, it would be understandable, after all, too many words will lead to mistakes, and I am afraid that someone will see the flaws.

But now they have all pierced through this layer of window paper, and even talking about things like resurrection from the dead, Qu Shenzhou still has very little to say.

Only when he was making suggestions, he was eloquent.

At other times, the answers are all concise and to the point. Regarding his own affairs, whether to answer or not depends on his mood, but almost never when he makes a request.

If the meal is prepared for him, he will eat it, if not, he will endure it without saying a word.When new clothes are made, he wears them. If not, he doesn't speak.

Like wanting nothing.

Liu Chongming even wondered if this man would just go out naked if he didn't give him clothes.

Even the rope that tied the hair was gone, Qu Shenzhou only went to remove the necklace on the bed curtain by himself, and tied it randomly.

This person who doesn't beg for mercy when he is being tortured, is like a quiet stone in the courtyard most of the time, never actively disturbing others.

And the indifference and alienation in him also seemed to repel others from approaching him.

Sometimes, Liu Chongming felt that this person seemed to have been living so alone and alone, and had nothing to do with anyone.

In the palace, would there be such a person?How could such a person be allowed to exist?

"What are you doing?"

After reading it almost, he opened the door and went in, asking questions knowingly.

Qu Shenzhou was still biting the cloth rope in his mouth, he was startled by the sound of the door opening, and the cloth rope fell out of his mouth.

"Sir."

"Staying here alone, what are you doing?" Liu Chongming waited for a while, got used to not answering, and threw the medicine bottle in his arms on the table: "Take it."

Qu Chenzhou caught Gululu's rolling medicine bottle, glanced at him unexpectedly, said nothing, raised his head and poured the antidote into his mouth, frowning.

Liu Chongming looked around, there was no water in the room at all, it seemed that Qu Shenzhou had never thought of counting on him to give medicine, he didn't know whether to be angry or not.

Why is this person's temper so strange, is it so difficult to bow his head and ask for medicine?Could it be that he, Liu Chongming, is a monster that can eat people?

And the water is not prepared, so you are sure that he is sincerely embarrassing and refuses to give medicine?

He couldn't even choke, why did he just take the medicine so obediently, so well-behaved, he didn't look like Qu Chenzhou.

Liu Chongming had no choice but to go outside to greet the servants, brought water over, and saw Qu Chenzhou swallowed the medicine, a stone fell from his heart.

He pulled up a chair and sat down at the table.On the table are the clothes that Qu Shenzhou wore in Qisheng Tower, with two sleeves cut off.

"Why do you still keep this thing? Didn't Manager She make new clothes for you?"

Qu Chenzhou nodded and shook his head, not knowing what to say.

"Today, Shuo Ye, you remember, why didn't you ask me for it?"

This time, Qu Chenzhou responded: "Because the son looks very angry."

"I'm not angry with you." After calming down for an afternoon, and being startled by this little episode, Liu Chongming's initial shock has calmed down a lot.

He picked up the clothes on the table and washed them very clean, but the mottled color could still be seen, which looked like traces left by blood that couldn't be washed off.

The clothes looked a lot smaller than him, and just by looking at the size, he could think of the slender and thin body of the owner of the clothes. He threw down the clothes and saw Qu Shenzhou silently biting the cloth rope, trying to get the clothes from his wrist. Untie it.

Seeing that the other party didn't intend to ask him for help at all, he didn't go up to ask for trouble. He looked at it for a long time and asked, "Have you never asked anyone? You are living too alone."

Qu Chenzhou stared at the knot for a moment, wondering whether he was thinking about the past or savoring his words carefully, and then smiled with his lips drawn together: "I have a bad personality and have no friends."

"Bad personality..." Liu Chongming laughed: "You are quite self-aware."

"Ah."

Qu Shenzhou replied in a muffled voice, bit off the cloth rope, and glanced at the door.

Before he opened his mouth to drive away the guests, Liu Chongming asked after him, "Where did you study?"

Qu Chenzhou's eyes flickered, and he slowly raised his head: "What?"

"Who did you learn your words from?"

Liu Chongming waited patiently, pinching the armrests of the bamboo chair with his hands, and it was no surprise that the other party looked away from him, and his temples were throbbing with pain.

This attitude is a clear refusal to answer.

This person can't be steamed or boiled. If he refuses to speak, he has nothing to do with it, so he can only back down a step.

"Since you are right about my sister, I will trust you more and give you something to show my sincerity."

Qu Chenzhou shook his head lightly: "I don't lack anything, don't worry about it."

"Is there no shortage?" Liu Chongming stared into his eyes and smiled: "I have been in the other courtyard for more than a month, and I haven't gone out yet."

Qu Chenzhou's body froze, his eyes were full of shock and ecstasy that couldn't be concealed.

Liu Chongming knew that he had made the right bet this time.

"I asked Steward Lin to come over here to take care of you and give you a badge. When you go in and out of other courtyards, take Steward Lin with you and just report to the concierge."

He wanted to see where the other party would go and who he was looking for.

Anyone who has been enclosed in a wall for a long time will go crazy, not to mention that it has been more than a year since Qu Chenzhou fled to the street. Even if he is really a person who has been resurrected from the dead, he has not walked freely for too long.

Liu Chongming is confident that Qu Shenzhou will be eager to go out the next morning.

But he guessed one, but didn't expect the second.
