After the rebirth, I was picked up by the prince

After leaving Qin Qiao's house, Qi Zizhen went to the palace and briefly told Song Yaoxu about the salvation of Xu Xiaoqi's Gu poison, and then returned to the National Teacher Tower after being sticky and greasy for a while, and continued to play his weak character.

Later, the guard who came back also reported to him that after the master uncle confirmed Xu Xiaoqi's specific situation, he had already started to prepare a special antidote. It may take some time, but there is hope and hope.

Now I just hope to find Song Shi's whereabouts sooner and confirm Song Shi's safety.

Qi Zizhen lay down on his bed, unknowingly playing back the scene when he came out of Qin Qiao's house in his mind, disturbing his rare moment of relaxation.

He let out a breath of boredom, intending to put aside these complicated thoughts and take a nap.

These days, because there are too many backlogs, he hardly sleeps well at night.Although his body wasn't that delicate in Spring Day, it was still prone to problems due to overwork.

Qi Zizhen promised Song Yaoxu that he would not let anything happen to him, so he naturally knew how to handle it well. He got up and lit a small piece of orchid scented beads that Song Yaoxu gave when he moved into the National Teacher Tower, and gradually fell asleep wrapped in the familiar smell.

Sleep well.

When he woke up again, the faint smell in the room had dissipated, and Qi Zizhen didn't know how long he had slept, so he yawned and sat up, went to the window and opened it to see that it was already dark.

All right, I don't need to sleep again tonight.

Qi Zizhen sighed lightly.

Originally, he just wanted to sleep for half an hour, but he didn't expect to sleep for half a day. He probably would be very energetic again at night.

Just at this moment, there was a knock on the door: "Young Master Qi, are you awake?"

Hearing the guard's voice, Qi Zizhen responded, "Come in."

Immediately afterwards, he saw the guard open the door carelessly, and said with a teasing smile, "Mr. Qi really slept for a long time."

Qi Zizhen touched his nose with a little guilt, and asked calmly, "Is there something wrong?"

"I don't know if it's something to do." The guard raised his hand and touched the back of his neck, holding back his smile, as if he was very careless, "It was Le Yuan who came to look for you this afternoon, and I said you were still there. Rest, asked him what's the matter, he didn't say anything, and left again in a daze.

"I was worried about his situation, so I followed him to have a look, and saw that he had been sitting still after he reached the Chengming Lake, as if he had something on his mind. Would you like to go and have a look, Mr. Qi?"

Listening to the guard's description, Qi Zizhen frowned and nodded, and when he was about to change into his clothes, he heard the guard say as if thinking of something: "By the way, Mr. Ning has something to go out, so he made some pastries and put them on the table. Young Master Qi, take it with you, lest you get hungry later."

Only then did he notice that there was a food box on the table.

He nodded and thanked the guard for his reminder. After changing his clothes, he picked up the food box and walked all the way to the shore of Chengming Lake. He saw Tang Leyuan sitting motionless by the lake at a glance.

Qi Zizhen slowed down his pace, walked gently to his side and sat down directly: "Why are you sitting here alone in a daze?"

Tang Leyuan was taken aback at first, and then forced a smile when he turned his head to see the face of the visitor: "...it's Aqi, it's okay, just come here to see the scenery."

Qi Zizhen obviously didn't believe it: "If you come here to see the scenery, you can watch it for half a day and still not move?"

Tang Leyuan paused, and his smile became a bit bitter: "Did the guard tell you?"

"Well. He said that someone seems to have something on his mind and needs comfort." Qi Zizhen opened the food box in his hand, and brought out a plate of pastries in the shape of a bunny. "Would you like to try it? Ning Guoshi made it."

Tang Leyuan didn't usually have much interest in sweets, but today after looking at them for a while, he raised his hand and picked up a little rabbit to taste.

Qi Zizhen looked at him sideways, with a softer emotion in his eyes: "Is it delicious?"

"Mmm!" Tang Leyuan's eyes were filled with amazement, and after eating the bunny in his hand, he couldn't help but continue to eat one after another.

It looked like he was very hungry.

Qi Zizhen didn't want to snatch it from him, and waited until he was almost done eating before asking, "So what happened to you today that made you unhappy?"

Tang Leyuan paused when he heard the question, and became depressed again. After a moment of silence, he lowered his voice and said, "Lu Yuanbai is in jail."

Qi Zizhen was taken aback: "...Because of Enke?"

Tang Leyuan nodded: "Enke cheated, the evidence is solid and cannot be refuted. His Majesty sent people directly to his house to arrest him this afternoon. The commotion was very loud and spread throughout the capital."

Qi Zizhen was still a little dazed.

He only heard from Song Yaoxu this morning that the problem with Enke's test paper had been found out, but he never expected that Song Yaoxu would act so fast this time.

This is the real surprise.

According to Qi Zizhen's impression of Song Yaoxu all the time, he thought that Song Yaoxu would suppress Song Yaoxu until he had investigated everything clearly, but Song Yaoxu chose to use this to directly suppress Song Ping's arrogance.

All the officials in the court knew that Lu Yuanbai had a good relationship with Song Ping since he entered the court, and Lu Yuanbai could be called the most important figure under Song Ping's influence.

But now that Lu Yuanbai has fallen, Song Ping, who was Enke's chief examiner, is also being questioned.

This is the first time that Song Yaoxu has put his attack on Song Ping's forces on the bright side, and also warned some wavering people to remember to weigh carefully before making a choice.

But for Tang Leyuan, who had just entered the court for a short time, it was the friends he had made who once fell for power and ruined his own future.

Qi Zizhen patted Tang Leyuan's shoulder as silent comfort.

Tang Leyuan sighed, feeling very depressed, and talked to Qi Zizhen about his past with Lu Yuanbai as if talking to himself.

Tang Leyuan and Lu Yuanbai first met five years ago. At that time, Tang Leyuan was only 14 years old. Because of his straightforward temperament, he almost confronted the domineering Song Jiqi and was stopped by Lu Yuanbai who was passing by.

At that time, Tang Leyuan still felt very dissatisfied, so Lu Yuanbai told him that the consequences of impulsiveness were the most unworthy.

After that first meeting, Tang Leyuan would occasionally meet Lu Yuanbai again, and became a little familiar with him over time.

During those days, Tang Leyuan often complained that the literati who were studying in them were very annoying all day long.Sometimes I would go to see Lu Yuanbai's paintings specially, watching them with great interest.Occasionally, they also express their displeasure together at those who bully others.

Tang Leyuan still remembered that Lu Yuanbai had told him that if one day he could enter the court as an official, he would definitely be a good official loved by the people.

But looking at it now, Lu Yuanbai probably didn't know where to throw his original promise.

Qi Zizhen didn't know how to comfort him at this time, so he brought out another plate of cakes in the shape of small bamboo leaves from the food box: "Would you like something sweet earlier? Eat something sweet, maybe you'll feel better."

After talking about the past once, Tang Leyuan's mood was better than before. Hearing this, he finally smiled and pushed the small plate back: "You haven't eaten anything yourself, right? These should be specially made by Ning Guoshi for you. I just ate so much, and I still didn’t want to grab it.”

"If Master Ning had done it for me, he wouldn't have done so much." Qi Zizhen also had a faint smile in his eyes, "He's temporarily staying in the Tower of the Master, and the guards must have told him about it." , he will specialize in serving two people.”

Hearing this, Tang Leyuan felt a little embarrassed and scratched his head: "Actually, I'm not very sad, but I can't believe it. After all, Lu Yuanbai is actually the first literati in the capital who I think has the same ideas."

Qi Zizhen understood that he was not feeling well at this time, so he raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, and said with emotion: "The word "quan" seems simple, but in fact there are many things that can be changed."

"I don't understand." Tang Leyuan frowned, always frank and straightforward, he couldn't figure out the twists and turns, "Is it really worth it to take risks for power, even at the risk of own life?"

Qi Zizhen sighed, looked up at the few stars reflected in the Chengming Lake, and said lightly, "Who knows."

After finishing speaking, he didn't wait for Tang Leyuan's reaction, put away the small cakes, stood up, and stretched out his hand to Tang Leyuan.

"Other people's affairs are free for others to bear. We just need to be ourselves, isn't it?"

Qi Zizhen was facing the moonlight, his simple and elegant white clothes were coated with a layer of bright white, and a faint smile faintly bloomed in his eyes.

Tang Leyuan looked up at him, froze for a moment, then stretched out his hand, put it on his cold palm, and responded with a smile: "Well, Ah Qi is right."

He stood up with Qi Zizhen's strength, let go and patted the hem of his clothes covered with grass debris, and regained his usual energetic look: "I'm quite tired after sitting for half a day. Shall I send Ah Qi back to the National Master Tower?"

Qi Zizhen didn't refuse, and walked back with Tang Leyuan carrying the food box, chatting about some common topics again on the way.

He turned his head to look at Tang Leyuan's usual unburdened smile, and after a while he turned his head back and returned to his usual appearance with Tang Leyuan.

The distance between Chengming Lake and the National Teacher Tower is not too far, and the two arrived at the foot of the National Teacher Tower after a short walk.

Before saying goodbye, Tang Leyuan did not forget to tell: "I heard from the guard that you are all very tired during this time, Ah Qi, remember to take care of your body and take a good rest."

"I will." Qi Zizhen nodded in response, bid farewell to Tang Leyuan, watched him turn and leave before returning to the National Teacher Tower, and began to worry about whether he would be able to sleep at night.

In fact, that night he did toss and turn for most of the day before falling asleep.

The next morning, Qi Zizhen got up from the bed again with dark circles under his eyes.

Ning Qingwei prepared breakfast and brought it up, seeing his appearance raised his eyebrows: "Didn't sleep well last night?"

Qi Zizhen yawned, stretched his waist and stood up: "I slept too long in the afternoon, so I can't sleep at night."

Ning Qingwei pretended to be distressed and said, "It deserves it."

Qi Zizhen didn't care about him, he quickly tidied himself up and went to the desk to have breakfast.

But on the way to breakfast, Qi Zizhen noticed that Ning Qingwei seemed to have something to say, and turned to look at him curiously.

Ning Qingwei glanced at the dark circles under his eyes, then at the breakfast he had just started, and finally said: "Forget it, you can talk about it after breakfast, or I'm afraid you won't be able to eat later."

Qi Zizhen turned his head back suspiciously, and finished eating the herbal porridge that had been air-dried just right, and then learned from Ning Qingwei what happened in the palace last night——

Concubine Xuan died tragically near the grass outside her palace, and was discovered by the maids who cleaned in the morning.

It took Qi Zizhen a while to realize that this concubine Xuan was the concubine Cui Liang reported that there might be a problem.

The author has something to say: Hey, let me say something in advance, the stupid author is an emotional player, so don't have too many expectations for the plot, the final plot of this dungeon should end soon, no What kind of wonderful intrigue and conspiracy is there, I can only say that the logic chain can be rounded~
