Three days later, Prime Minister Right was imprisoned, and the court was shocked.

A few days ago, Duke Rui ordered his daughter's coffin to be carried to the court, forcing Fu Qiu to order an investigation into whether the Prime Minister had anything to do with this matter. Daughter seeks justice.

And Wei Kun added fuel to the flames.

At that time, Dongzi was in court, but the courtiers were like a stake, and the pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the dragon case could not say a word.

Fu Qiu had no choice but to order the right minister to be temporarily detained, but he was strictly prohibited from torture. After the investigation was over, the three divisions would interrogate, and he would sit in court to hear the trial in person.

After the court, all the officials withdrew one after another, Duke Rui ordered someone to carry the coffin back to the mansion, Wei Kun walked forward and patted him on the shoulder.

Duke Rui's eye sockets were red and swollen, his eye bags were black and blue, his temples were gray, and he staggered slightly when he walked, and almost fell over with a slap.

Wei Kun gave him a little support, and laughed loudly: "The old man is not in good health, he will have to live for a few more years."

Duke Rui pulled his shoulders out, took two quick steps forward, and said solemnly: "I am sorry for the fourth prince's concern, but the fourth prince and my daughter are already ordinary people."

Duke Rui's daughter has returned to the west, but he said that Wei Kun is just like his daughter.Wei Kun was not angry, touched the hard wood of the coffin, and said with a smile: "The old man still likes to talk and laugh, so I can rest assured that this handsome man can see the end of this big drama, it is also luck." Wei Kun bent down , whispered in Duke Rui's ear: "However, the old Duke has thought about it. If he can't bring down the right minister, when he comes out in the future, your family of three generations of Zhongming Dingshi will be destroyed once, and the people involved will be killed." How many?"

Wei Kun waved his hands and walked away, leaving Duke Rui with a pale face.

In the afternoon, Dongzi was washing clothes in the yard, and the magpie stopped at the top of the tree. He stared at it for a while, then lowered his head to rub the clothes.

Xiong Mu said in a voice outside, "Is Brother Dongzi here?"

There was no knock on the door, Xiong Mu swaggered open the door and walked in. Seeing Dongzi doing laundry, he hurried over, sat down in front of him with a small stool, and asked him, "Your Majesty is fine in prison, alone. It’s a small room, I heard that ordinary people can’t live in it.”

Dongzi said: "Well, important ministers or relatives of the emperor who have committed the crime of treason are treated in this way."

"..." Xiong Mu scratched his head, "Actually, I don't think the emperor will order to kill the boss, but first put an end to Duke Rui's anger. After all, he was also an old minister with high morals and great reputation. His ancestors had a lot of background and died for no reason. Your future daughter-in-law, you are not close to the elders, so to seek justice for your future daughter-in-law, isn't it just to help you?"

Dongzi grabbed a piece of clothing and wrung it dry, and performed a set of fifteen moves of swordsmanship on the wet clothes.

Xiong Mu wiped the water all over his face, swallowed hard, shivering from the cold.

"Such handsome swordsmanship!"

At this time, another person's voice came from the wall, Xue Yuanshu was squatting on the wall, his shadow was like a squatting dog.

"Come so early, rushing to flatter your elder brother?" Xue Yuanshu jumped off the wall with a deep scar on his face.

Xiong Mu chuckled: "Same as you."

Xue Yuanshu spat, with the long sword on his shoulder, picked up the undried clothes in the basin, and shook them carelessly.

A row of clothes hangs on the rope, swaying leisurely.

When the two entered the room, Dongzi was lying on the bed with his eyes closed and fell asleep.

"..." Xiong Mu smiled mischievously, and grabbed Xue Yuanshu's sleeve, "Let's go, Brother Dongzi doesn't want to see us."

"It's your brother, not my brother. Qiu Yunlou is in my ass, so he has to call me big brother."

As soon as he heard that there was a shareholding, Xiong Mu's eyes lit up immediately, like a hungry wolf, and asked: "What did you get in? Is there a dividend at the end of the year? How much?"

"It's with strength." Xue Yuanshu showed off his beautiful biceps.

Xiong Mu touched his upper arm, slapped his thigh and shouted: "Then I should have entered it a long time ago, right? I was still running through the hall in Qiuyun Tower! Big brother count me in, and you will be my brother from now on."

"..." Xue Yuanshu raised his foot, and Xiong Mu flew out automatically, grabbed the big tree in the courtyard, spun around, stood under the window, patted the dust on his body, and sat down on the stone steps under the window depressed.Thinking of the rosy cheeks of his mother-in-law when she got married, the shy gaze of the girl, the rolling pin that she never left her hand, and the "Where is the silver!" Xiong Mu only felt that it was too late to regret.

The door slammed shut, and Dongzi turned over.

Xue Yuanshu stepped on the bed, looked down at Dongzi's sleeping face.He seemed to be very tired, and he had managed to sleep soundly. His sleeves were still rolled up on his washed hands, and his fingers were white and red from the cold.Xue Yuanshu rolled up Dongzi's sleeves to cover his arms, and gently wiped the water off his hands with the sleeves.

So he sat in front of the bed and waited for an unknown how long. At that time, it was almost dusk. Dongzi opened his eyes, and there was a moment of blankness in his eyes, especially when they fell on Xue Yuanshu, the blankness was even deeper.

"You're here." Dongzi sat up, gathered his hair in his hat, took out a green robe and put it on his body.

He pulled off his belt, and when he was fastening it, Xue Yuanshu straightened the collar for him, fastened the cloth button, and said absently: "Waiting for you all afternoon, who knows that you haven't woken up, I knew I was going to drink, what happened to Marshal Wei."

Dongzi paused for a moment with his hand buckling his belt, and asked nonchalantly, "What's the matter?"

"Duke Rui went to the Queen's Palace three days ago. Do you remember the report that Fang Jingrong was rejected by the Emperor that day?"

Dongzi slapped his sleeves, then raised his eyes and asked, "What's wrong with Zhezi?"

"It was rumored among the ministers of the previous court that the evil in the harem wreaked havoc on the country, so that none of the concubines could give birth to a son. And you are that evil." When he said this, Xue Yuanshu stared at Dongzi's face, and said with a sneer: "But brother thinks that your face is not as monstrous as the emperor's."

"..."

"My people, don't look at it from now on." Dongzi picked up the dust whisk from the table, held it in his hand, and used a few tricks at will.

Xue Yuanshu clapped his hands and said, "The whisk can also make it so beautiful, brother likes you like this."

Dongzi pinned the whisk to his belt, hooked it over Xue Yuanshu's shoulder, and the two of them stepped out of the room together.

Ghosts were crying and howling wolves were heard from the side, and Xiong Mu rushed over screaming and hugged Xue Yuanshu's thigh: "Brother must bring me one! Otherwise, Ziyun will have to skin me..."

Xue Yuanshu raised his hand and slapped Xiong Mu tremblingly, and lifted his back collar to make him stand upright.

"Yes, yes, take 3000 taels, return the capital in the first year, and pay dividends three times a year in the second year."

"...3000 taels?!" Xiong Mu wailed, trying to hug Dongzi's thigh.

Dongzi took two steps back, Xiong Mu flung himself to nothing, and sat on the ground, biting the hem of Dongzi's robe with his dog's mouth, teary eyes: "Brother Dongzi..."

The corners of Dongzi's mouth curled up invisibly, and he said to Xue Yuan, "Count him in."

"Do you know that you won't get rich doing business like this?" Xue Yuanshu raised his voice.

Xiong Mu looked at Xue Yuanshu pleadingly with two big eyes.

Xue Yuanshu's scalp tingled for a while, so he waved his hands and said, "Go away, let your wife make up 50 taels!"

Xiong Mu blinked, tears streaming down his cheeks.

"...Five taels! Five taels is fine! If you don't have five taels, let me touch the wall and die!"

Xiong Mu happily squatted on the ground and ran away.

The yellow light at dusk stretched Xue Yuanshu's shadow very long. He reached out to touch Dongzi's head, but Dongzi hid on his side.

Xue Yuanshu smiled sarcastically, looked at the sky reflected magnificently by the rose-colored sunset, and said with vicissitudes in his eyes: "Back then, brother and you had met once in Qilin Tomb, but unfortunately, you don't remember."

He compared himself in front of his waist, and said with a smile: "At that time, you were only a little taller."

Dongzi didn't say a word, the warm light made his resolute eyebrows look gentle, like the first golden leaf in autumn, full of tenderness and fullness in mature season.

"Brother is getting old." Slashing the top of Xue Yuanshu's head with the knife, he clenched his palm and stared at his fist. At that moment, his joints turned white, and his voice became rare serious, cold and hard: "Brother had a junior brother back then, brother Wherever he went, he went wherever he went. One day, I took him to the three-way crossing out of Beijing. That was the only time in this life that he had the opportunity to control his own destiny. One of us must stay and work for the late emperor. I will He made a choice. I said, brother, you take the one on the east side, keep walking, go over mountains and mountains, and you will find your home [-] miles away. Don’t you like tofu? Open a tofu shop, In the coming year, Shige will go to your stall to take care of your business. He left, riding a green mule."

"I lied to him and went back to the capital." Xue Yuanshu's voice choked up, his eyes were red, and one eye was full of tears, "Who knows that he would dare to lie to me. There are many ways to punish the dark guards who dare to escape. After soaking in the dark dungeon for ten days, I finally saw the sky. At that time, I thought he was lucky to escape the punishment of the dungeon, and I thought it was my credit. I planned to have a drink with him when he came back. fan."

Xue Yuanshu took a deep breath, pinched his sore nose, flung his hand back, and twitched the corner of his mouth, "He didn't come back."

"Until now, I don't know if he is dead or not." Xue Yuanshu looked up at the sky, his neck was sore, and he still tilted his head up.

"You are very similar to him. Since you have brothers and father, and a man who stands upright, you have to work hard for your family." The mist of tears disappeared from Xue Yuanshu's eyes. His eyes were clear, he wiped his face with his sleeve, and patted Dongzi. shoulder, "Since the queen has moved her mind, if you can't bring down your father once, there will be a second time. The Yuan family tree is very popular, and the harem is in the court. Collusion is also what the king fears most. I don't hope that one day, you will also be killed." Send out and never come back..." Xue Yuanshu sniffled, "That's all I said, think about it."

When it was time to light the lamp, Dongzi exchanged value in the Chengyuan Hall, and when he entered, the dinner was served on a small black lacquered rosewood table in front of the dragon table, without even touching a single chopstick.

Fu Qiu was still scribbling, and he heard the voice and asked, "Are you coming? My neck is sore, come here, and pinch for me for a while."

Dongzi knelt beside him, pinching with one hand, beating with the other, rubbing his five fingers apart, pointing at each other, and then pressing on Fu Qiu's shoulder.

Fu Qiu sighed, while reading the brochure, he said comfortably: "I can't do it without you, wait a little while, I'll finish reading this point, let's go to a place."

Dongzi hummed.

After another half an hour, the two finished their meal together, boarded the carriage, and passed the bluestone path outside the palace, the water of the imperial ditch murmured under the moonlight.Fu Qiu was so tired that he kept yawning without opening his eyes.

Dongzi's silence made him put his head on his shoulder, look out of the curtain warily, put down the curtain, and heard Fu Qiu sigh heavily, then Fu Qiu said: "Dongzi, do you believe me?"

Dong Zijing stared at him without saying a word.

Fu Qiu closed his eyes and murmured in a low voice: "I am not a very good emperor. Now that the serious trouble has been eliminated, I never thought that someone would attack the Yuan family. From now on, I will protect you and your family. Are you willing?" Do you trust me?"

Fu Qiu put his hand on the back of Dongzi's hand, holding his slightly cool hand. After a while, he felt the temperature on his lips, and when he opened his eyes, he knew that Dongzi was kissing. He was like a calm but dangerous beast, kissing The attack was so fierce that it made Fu Qiu's lips ache like gnawing.

"Well... let's do it." Fu Qiu snorted painfully, "Why bite me...I'm serious..."

Before the words were finished, Fu Qiu was hugged, Dongzi's body trembled slightly, his head was pressed against his face, and he pressed on Fu Qiu wearily, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't move, I want to rest for a while."

There were no stars and moon in the sky, Fu Qiu kissed Dongzi's eyebrows, there was a lot of apology in his heart, welling up on his lips, but he couldn't say a word.This man was born for him, and has worked so hard for a "life-saving talisman" prophecy.Fu Qiu's hand lightly touched Dongzi's back, stroking his spine back and forth like he did before, to give him strength.

The sound of the wheels stopped, the coachman helped Fuqiu get out of the car, and Dongzi then jumped off the ground.

The gate of the prison towered high in the night, and the dozing jailer woke up, kneeling on the ground trembling with fright.

After a while, the sound of keys and the sound of footsteps passed through the empty corridor. This prison did not have the damp and stagnant smell of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but it was only three points colder than the outside.

A small square-inch window on the wall casts a little light on the ground.

Yuan Guangping, with disheveled hair, sat cross-legged, with his head tilted slightly, unable to tell whether he was awake or asleep.
