It's cold in late autumn, it's getting late, and the dead leaves outside the window are all gone. Occasionally, there are a few sweeping sounds in this side courtyard.

Chong Zhao sits in front of the case and has not seen Chang Yan for many days.

He was confined to the side courtyard, and he could only hear the singing of birds every day. When he saw one or two servants in a hurry, he couldn't walk out of the courtyard door.

With his back through the window through the skylight, Chongzhao sat kneeling in front of the desk. He was only wearing a plain coat and a dark fur coat. color.Chongzhao raised his hand and rubbed the corners of his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Go down."

The maid seemed to be a newcomer, she took the soup bowl in extreme panic, and accidentally spilled the unused half.

Shigetsu waved his hands irritably.

His people have been blocked by Chang Yan, and he himself has been completely controlled by Chang Yan.In fact, it's not considered control, he has married Chang Yan, and they should be together.

Zhongzhao couldn't figure it out, what was the reason why the other party asked for this marriage contract in front of the emperor?

Do you want to trample on the scattered dignity of the Li family in the Duke's Mansion again?Even if his father was dismissed, his elder brother was sent to border customs, his poor mother became increasingly ill at home, and his sister married into the palace, the other party looked on coldly, even if there was a lot of deep hatred, wouldn't that be enough?

Chong Zhao bent down slightly, with a cyan jade pendant beside him.

The jade pendant was full of cracks, as if it had been thrown on the ground in the past, and then someone tried their best to piece it together, but no matter how much time and effort it took, it would never return to its original integrity.

His calves were stiff and cold after sitting for a long time, and Chong Zhao was a little dizzy, so he stood up against the edge of the table.

The old friendship is gone, he has to find a way to get out.

However, he hadn't walked a few steps when he tilted his whole body and fell to the ground.

After only drinking half a bowl of soup, he still had a sliver of consciousness, but his body was limp and weak, his face pressed against the cold ground, and he heard the conversation between two people in a daze.

The first voice was very strange: "I have been confined for many days, and I don't even have a caring servant. It can be seen that Xu Changyan doesn't treat him very well..."

Steward Zhou of the Xu Mansion said coldly: "The master said that if you want to drive the head of the Nine Dragon Guards crazy, you can only kill him. At that time, the capital will definitely be in chaos..."

He couldn't understand what they were talking about, but the other party wanted to kill him, and Chong Zhao bit his mouth, but the pain made his consciousness more confused, and finally fell into a coma.

……

My hands and feet were numb and cold, and my head was heavy and painful.

Chongzhao shook his whole body, and his body fell to the ground. His whole body hurt from the impact, and his eyes were full of stars.

It's true that my whole body hurts, my hands and feet are sore, my knees hurt like my bones are about to crack, my arms are throbbing, and I'm sticking to the cold floor again. After a while, I slowly move my limbs and sit on the ground. stand up.

The brightening sky shines into the room through the window at the back, and falls on the rows of bookshelves full of books. In front of a low desk, rice paper is scattered all over the floor. Langhao fell to the ground in the collision just now, scratching There is a black ink blot.

The air was still filled with the lingering fragrance of ambergris, and only a candle was left at the door.

Re-Zhao recalled this scene from his delayed mind as if he had suddenly passed away.

This is Tianyi Pavilion, the palace library.

That year he offended Long Yan, and the emperor punished him to come to Tianyi Pavilion to copy books and reflect on himself.

Unfortunately, he was young and energetic at that time and couldn't tell the seriousness at all. In addition, he had just returned from the battlefield, and he was full of brutality in the army. When he acted, he was indeed too reckless and aggressive. Great rebellion.

Li Jiaerlang has joined the army for generations. He determined to become a famous general since he was a child, and secretly followed his father to the frontier for three years.After being forcibly recalled, when Li Chongzhao, who had just reached the weak crown at that time, met the emperor, he said very firmly that he was determined to become a general and would never leave the capital.

The emperor did not agree.So Li Chongzhao refused to accept the Marquis of Zhaohou promised by the emperor when he was young, which made the emperor lose face. The emperor was furious and punished him to copy books in Tianyi Pavilion to reflect.

Li Chongzhao stayed in Tianyi Pavilion without eating or drinking to express his position. The emperor's patience was exhausted, which made him lose his favor forever.

When he returned home after making troubles in the palace, he found that his family had also lost the emperor's sacred heart, made a big mistake, was implicated in a rebellious case, and collapsed.

So the question is, why is he here?

Did Chang Yan ask someone to bring him here?

No, someone was trying to kill him outside the room before he was unconscious, so what should he do if he was captured?

Chong Zhao got up, his eyes fell on his attire and his hands, the cyan brocade robe, a jade pendant around his waist, a black ink mark on his hand, and calluses on his fingers that had been holding swords for many years.

The large characters "36 Art of War" on the desk are clearly written.

In order to express his firm belief, he resolutely refrained from copying the books of sages and sages who governed the country and the family, but only silently wrote the art of war, and recited all the art of war that he remembered in his mind over and over ten times silently.

Chongzhao walked around the desk in a daze, reached out to touch the cool incense burner, and looked around in disbelief.After not eating for three days, he became dizzy for a while, and his stomach suddenly throbbed violently.

The vintage layout is like a thunderbolt, making the memory of the past extremely clear.

He... Back to three years ago?

Footsteps could be heard outside the door, as if a servant who got up early hurried past outside.

Chongzhao pressed the painful and twitching stomach, and when he became nervous, he felt uncomfortable all over his body, his forehead was a little hot, and he felt dizzy for a while.

Chongzhao poured a glass of water and drank it. The cool water stimulated him to wake up a little, so Chongzhao pushed the door open and went out.

At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the dawn was fast, and it was difficult for the eyes to adapt to the re-lighting, and the field of vision was still dim. He pressed his aching stomach with one hand, and he didn't pay attention to one of his feet. He tripped and leaned forward. fall down.

It's over, thinking about it again, he lost face in front of Tianyi Pavilion the first time he came back, maybe how many servants outside saw it.

The impact with the ground did not come, a pair of powerful hands pulled him up by the waist, Chong Zhao's back stuck to a man's shoulder, the man took advantage of the situation to put him down, and Chong Zhao sat on the ground with his knees bent, his back on the man's shoulder.

Adapting to the brightness outside, Chong Zhao's dizzy head was startled by the tangy fragrance, and when he looked up, the person above his head just hung his head down, staring at him with narrow phoenix eyes.

The look in the phoenix eyes is focused, the sword eyebrows fly into the temples slantingly, the complexion is unparalleled, and he has an unattainable aura of coldness and isolation.

The dark brocade official uniform was tightly held by the other party, and Xu Changyan's eyes were deep.

The cold sweat on the top of Chong Zhao's head fell off, he immediately withdrew his paws, moved sideways, lowered his eyes slightly, "Thank you, sir."

Xu Changyan's voice was low, and his tone was a little unsteady: "No, can you get up?"

Stomach throbbing has been incessant, coupled with emotional tension, being stimulated, re-lighting the thin layer of cold sweat on his forehead, he tried his best to keep himself from curling up in pain, and in Chang Yan's eyes, his body seemed to be trembling.

Just when Chongzhao was about to pull a young eunuch who was kneeling behind him to send him back home, a cold hand suddenly stuck to his forehead.

I took another photo and was stunned.

The next moment he was hugged and his body was in mid-air. Chongzhao was so frightened that he put his hand on Xu Changyan's shoulder and said in shock, "Xu Changyan! What are you doing?"

Xu Changyan frowned, "You have a fever, don't move around."

His figure was tall and slender, and when he stood up, others felt a sense of oppression for no reason, and his cold eyes swept over slightly, "What are you still doing in a daze, go and pass on the imperial physician!"

The little eunuch ran away after hearing the words.

The cold fragrance on Xu Changyan's body was exactly the same as in the previous life. The body temperature came through through the fine brocade fabric. Chong Zhao's throbbing stomach calmed down slightly, followed by physical weakness and exhaustion. He restrained himself at first. Try not to touch the opponent's body as much as possible, and finally put his cheek on the opponent's chest.

Chongzhao angered the emperor, and the people in the palace saw him being ignored by the emperor, but when the imperial doctor heard who sent someone to invite him, he immediately packed up his things and rushed to Tianyi Pavilion.

Chongzhao was placed on a low couch.

Beside a big Buddha with a cold face, the imperial doctor said everything was good: "Second Young Master is healthy, but he hasn't eaten for many days and drank cold water. Just warm up. If you have a little cold, drink some medicine and rest more."

Shigeko nodded.He is no longer in pain, his whole body has no strength, and he just wants to sleep for a while.

Chang Yan poured hot water, tested the temperature of the water before taking it, stepped forward and put his arms around his shoulders, "Drink the water."

Being wrapped in his arms, Chong Zhao's scalp felt numb, he immediately reached out to hold the teacup, and drank the tea without leaking.Under the warm water, the cold body seemed to be ironed comfortably, and I couldn't help but want to just lean on someone and fall asleep.

Chongzhao stopped this dangerous thought, and stood up forcefully, "I'm really bothering Mr. Xu, I'm already healed."

Xu Changyan said: "It's early, you should rest for a while, after a while, I'll take you to see the emperor."

Chong Zhao was taken aback, "Your Majesty wants to see me?"

Xu Changyan said coldly: "Li Xiaojun disregarded the law, joined the army without authorization, returned to Beijing without repentance, and offended His Majesty, whichever crime is charged, it is not just a simple punishment of copying books and self-examination."

It is undeniable to repeat the photo, indeed, each of them was done by himself at that time, if the emperor really wanted to abolish him, any one of them could make him forever.

Chongzhao put on his shoes, and suddenly walked towards the door.

Xu Changyan was slightly taken aback, and stopped him: "What are you going to do?"

Chong Zhao sneered and said: "Please worry, my lord, I deserve to die. Go kneel at the gate of the hall. If Your Majesty shows mercy, maybe I can save my life."

Chongzhao was about to lift his feet after he finished speaking, but Xu Changyan's furious voice suddenly came from behind him: "Get out of here! Do you want to die? Sit down, you go out and kneel like this, it's the news that you can't afford to kneel at the gate of the palace." Should it reach His Majesty's ears first, or should you faint and be carried back first?!"
