Domineering

In Xuanyuan City three days ago, less than half an hour after Moli left, all the officials went to court to return to their thrones, but they were scolded by the empress so bloody that they couldn't get down.

"Ministers, stay safe and don't be impatient."

Zhong Li walked up to the crowd in a crimson official uniform, and used her appearance to break the restless guesses in the hearts of the crowd, only to see that she bowed to the crowd upright, "Your Majesty, that's all for today's morning court. Then you can retreat."

When the ministers did not know the truth and questioned him, Zhong Li changed his usual gentle attitude and spoke a little more seriously: "Ministers don't know something, but on your way to court, assassins sneaked into the palace gate!"

This is a big deal, and the court was shocked.

The right minister asked: "How is your Majesty? Can the assassin be caught?"

"Your Majesty is blessed and unscathed. The assassin has been killed on the spot by the Dragon Patrol Army, but... His Majesty will not go to court until Commander Su finds out the assassin's behind-the-scenes instigation." Everyone looked at the same position in unison. After realizing it, the commander of the Dragon Patrol Army who was dedicated to his duty on weekdays has long since disappeared. "Ministers, please be careful on the way back to the residence."

The civil and military officials were worried, fearing that they would be involved in more disasters, so they immediately retreated from the court.Right Prime Minister didn't move, he looked at the younger sister who was getting tougher in front of him, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart for a moment, but as soon as the words came to his lips, Zhong Li raised his hand to stop him, "Brother, you don't have to worry about me."

"I do not……"

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood, I'm going back, you should go back to the mansion quickly, don't nag here. After you go back, you'd better stay in the mansion honestly and don't go anywhere." Zhong Li As if he didn't want to hear Zhong Zhengyu speak, he interrupted him frequently intentionally or unintentionally, and even teased him, "You don't have to deal with the Ministry of Rites, and you don't do your job properly."

Zhong Zhengyu clenched his hands into fists, put his head to the side of his mouth and "coughed" twice, only then did he hide his embarrassment.He swept around the court hall and saw that everyone had retreated. Right now, there were only the two of them, brother and sister, and Ji Yanlan who was waiting quietly. He turned his head and said to Zhong Li, "You insisted on going back to the palace this morning, but I didn't stop you." If you want to go home now, come with me." Zhong Li saw worry in Zhong Zhengyu's eyes, now the palace is no safer than outside the palace, not to mention that Ji Yanlan, who hijacked her, stood here and did not leave. Nor can she be regarded as air.

After a brief stalemate, Zhong Zhengyu glanced at Ji Yanlan, and a murderous look flashed across his eyes.

Zhong Zhengyu's departure made the big court instantly cold. Zhong Li looked at his brother's back, as if he had made up his mind. When he turned his head to face Ji Yanlan, he became more confident: "Young master will not leave. ?"

"I'm afraid that the Marquis wants to leave, but I can't."

"What is the young master talking about?" Zhong Li pretended not to understand, "On weekdays, the young master is very romantic and happy, but when he shows off his might, even His Majesty doesn't pay attention to it. If you want to leave now, who would dare to stop you?" you?"

"Sis, since when did Sister Li speak with thorns?"

Zhong Li complained: "From the day I was kidnapped."

Ji Qinglan changed the subject: "Where is Ji Yin?"

"Your Majesty let her have a heart-to-heart talk."

"Talking? How to talk?"

"Young Master doesn't know yet, right? The princess can speak this morning." Contrary to Zhong Li's expectation, Ji Qinglan was surprised by this. She couldn't guess whether the Young Master was pretending not to know or really didn't know. He clapped his hands three times, and issued an order to evict the guests: "Gu Lan sends Lord Hou out of the palace, no one dares to stop him."

After all, a long shadow outside the door dragged silently to his feet, and Gu Lan waited quietly for a long time.

Ji Yanlan's face darkened, seeing that Zhong Li, who was always kind on weekdays, became so indifferent to her, and even more protected by Gu Lan. Apart from fear, her very politeness turned into annoyance, disappointment and dissatisfaction. Willing, there was only a small smile left in the end: "This Marquis has a relic of my brother. I want to ask my sister-in-law to take a look. Why don't the cabinet lords come with me?"

In Guiluan Hall, Murong Xing was writing at his desk. She seemed to remember something, and suddenly called out "Gu Lan", and a black shadow flashed in from outside the door, curtseying: "What orders does Your Majesty have?"

Realizing that it was a man's voice, Murong Xing raised his head and continued to work at his desk, "Go on, Gu Lan is back and ask her to find the orphan as soon as possible." Murong Xing remained calm, but couldn't help but doubt: You haven't come back yet?Could it be that something happened to Kung Fu Zhong Li at this moment?

After thinking about it, the man came back, not only brought the cabinet back safe and sound, but also left Ji Yanlan, a big headache, in the palace.Murong Xing was afraid that Ji Yanlan would make trouble, and when he knew that Gu Lan had made up his mind, he was startled and angry, and he was about to get angry when he put down his pen on the spot, but Gu Lan seemed to know that Murong Xing was going to punish himself, and when he entered the room, he knelt down to plead guilty and offered something.

"Your Majesty, the young marquis presents this to see Princess Tsinghua."

Ji Yanlan's gift was not small, and it was packed in a satin box with golden silk sea beast and grape patterns, which was half a person long and a foot wide. Murong was lucky to see Gu Lantuo's strength in lifting it, and saw that the things inside were heavy and not small , seems to already know what it is.

"Gu don't allow them to meet, go back."

Murong Xing refused completely, Gu Lan knelt on the spot, and said again: "Your Majesty calm down, the young master also asked his subordinates to bring a sentence, 'Even if Your Majesty does not accept, please have a look at your Majesty, so as to comfort Mr. Wen's spirit in heaven'. "

Gu Lan opened the brocade box with one hand, and held the brocade box firmly in front of Murong Xing with the other. She knew that there was a qin in the box, but she didn't know what kind of qin it was. Sanity and mental breakdown.Murong Xing stared blankly at the piano in the box for a long time, until Gu Lan's arms were sore, she slowly recovered and wanted to reach out to touch it.

"Your Majesty!" Gu Lan was afraid that there would be poison on the piano, and even more afraid that Murong Xing would put himself in danger, so she stopped her, "Be careful..."

With the sound of "Your Majesty", Murong Xing finally came back to his senses, tears "slapped" and blinked, saying that "the jade law hides the charm of a guqin, and the heart of a philosopher sees the heart of a saint." Empress Chao, the peerless piano she had been longing to find was right in front of her eyes, but it felt like nothing had happened.

This qin was cut from a tung tree, and the rope was its soul. Except for the mottled blood stains, everything was intact. Murong Xing asked someone to test the poison to play, but he didn't want to encounter even more unbelievable things—— big and small in the palace Many musicians debugged the piano, but none of them could make the piano produce sound.

Ji Yanlan sent the piano and went back without leaving any solution, which probably made Murong Xing anxious.Murong Xing sat in front of the piano all morning and sulked, and finally waited until Zhong Li woke up and heard the news, and everyone was finally relieved.

Zhong Li saw the qin from a distance, and was startled inwardly. When he approached for a closer look, he found that it was covered with scars. Play it."

The owner of this violin was the beloved object of Empress Su in the previous dynasty. Di Xin built the Star-picking Tower for Empress Su. The entire harem.But no one expected that after drunken life, dreams and death, all the bloody grievances are hidden. When the high-rise buildings in the sky can no longer bear the horn of the earth's resistance, and when the drums of the army go out with the army, the drums fall and the sound repeats. The piano will play a world-breaking sound and stand with the people.

Zhong Li hadn't touched the qin for a long time, and hadn't seen the qin recognized by the master for a long time. She wanted to wake up the qin, so she held her breath and plucked a string lightly.

Qin made a low, muffled sound, which was a response, nothing more.

Zhong Li stood there in a daze, lost in thought, Murong Xing was moved by watching, and finally stroked the dumb piano as well.The moment she touched it, she was in a trance, and seemed to feel its sadness and its anger.Ji Wen's blood was sprinkled on the zither without reservation, and sacrificed without reservation to save another person.Murong Xing suddenly wanted to ask, if this qin really had a soul, did it know whether Ji Wen was smiling or in pain before she died?Is in love, or let go.

The time is not easy, it turns out that it has been three years.

Zhong Li felt emotional: "I have been looking for this violin for a long time. I thought it was someone who didn't have long eyes and chopped it into firewood. I didn't expect it to be in Ji Yanlan's hands. When Ji Yanlan said that he wanted to see Ji Yin, I was still curious. , why is she so sure..."

"Why is Zhong Qing looking for this piano?" Murong Xing noticed Zhong Li's "always" and it seems that there are other stories here.

"Your Majesty doesn't know that this Qin belongs to the minister."

"Your piano?"

"That's right, this Qin is the first and only one that I personally made. When I adjusted this Qin, I dreamed of playing a song for Di Xin..." Zhong Li smiled wryly, "I didn't have a chance to play it, and I didn't take it with me when I left the palace. I left it to Su...I left it to her, so she is the master of this violin, and she is the only one who can play this violin." The more, the more exposed, Zhong Li hastily concluded, "It's the past, but it's just an obsession of the minister. Once the thing is found, the obsession is gone."

"It's good to break up." Murong Xing couldn't help teasing her, "If everyone can be as open-minded as Ah Li, Gu's troubles will be less."

"Your Majesty, don't make fun of me. When I can't argue with the reviewer, I will say that I am stubborn." Zhong Li sat next to Murong Xing, leaned his shoulders lightly on her, and closed his eyes. "Your Majesty's persistence." Nian, I also need to let it go."

"What obsession does Gu have?"

"What I read is for living things, and there will always be a day when they will be found." Zhong Li sighed inaudibly, "What your Majesty reads is for dead people, and they will never be seen again."

Murong Xing didn't speak for a long time, but after Zhong Li said this somewhat "overstepping" piece of advice, it seemed that His Majesty had fallen asleep leaning on her, only a burst of light blowing on his face, and he didn't move.Murong Xing stiffened her shoulders, used her other hand to push back the crowd, and sat quietly for a while, her shoulders became numb, so she had no choice but to put Zhong Li on the bed herself.

Zhong Li woke up as soon as he touched it, and smiled shyly: "Your Majesty, I should go back to sleep."

"Sleep, you must not have slept well at Ji Changlan's place these few days, there are shadows watching over here, so it's safe." Murong Xing persuaded Zhong Li to lie down, and even took off his outer shirt and gently draped it over Zhong Li's bed. On Li, "Thanks to your reminder, someone poisoned Yi'er's food yesterday, Gu Zao took precautions, and nothing happened."

"Shuchen is not here, so I failed to protect the prince well."

Murong Xing shook his head: "You are Yi'er's teacher, but not his bodyguard, what's your fault?"

"One day as a teacher, lifelong..."

"Stop." Murong Xing tapped Zhong Li's lips with his fingertips, and he laughed instead, "It's hard to be lonely."

Zhong Li held Murong Xing's hand, broke free and said, "Your Majesty, I still have something to advise, which is related to the crown prince." Zhong Li moved Murong Xing's hand down, and Murong Xing's fingertips slid along her red lips Her chin finally fell to her chest, and her eyes were sincere, "Your Majesty, the crown prince is related to the country, and Yi'er has a special status, and Ji Yanlan is so vicious when he knows it. If someone else wants to rebel, he must kill him first."

"Do you want to abandon the prince alone?"

"No, Your Majesty, what I mean is..." Zhong Li's words came to his lips, his blood full of enthusiasm, and he could not hesitate, "Your Majesty should recruit an upright and good man to be promoted to be the father of the country and continue his heirs."

Murong Xing didn't expect Zhong Li to mention this matter, although he fully felt this person's loyalty, he still turned cold and withdrew his hand.It's not that she hasn't thought about these things, but it's really frustrating to say them now.

Murong Xing got up and left: "Go to bed first, and accompany Gu to interrogate Ji Yin in the afternoon."
