King's Landing [Rebirth]

Wang Shuzhi's eyes were dark, and the usual smile disappeared from the corners of his eyes. Sima Rong looked at him, and was shocked to find that there hadn't been any inquiry in those eyes for a long time, and even when he asked such a direct question today, it was only filled with anticipation. , without the slightest doubt and temptation.

"Prime Minister..." Sima Rong's mood was fluctuating, his throat was so suffocated that it was difficult to make a sound, he knew that he had already shown his feet frequently, Wang Shuzhi was thoughtful, but he never seemed to see it, this alone was enough to make him feel guilty, let alone Say something else.

He has never had the word guilt in his previous life. In his eyes, survival is the most important thing. Even if he can't bring down Empress Yu, as long as he is still panting in the palace, he can make that poisonous woman sleepless. , even if I can't win anything, it's worth dying if I persist every day.

But ever since he was reborn, everything has been beyond his expectations, and his emotions have become uncontrollable. Now facing these deep pupils, he has started to lose his footing, not knowing how to answer his questions, as if what he says doesn't suit him , it may not suit his mind.

Wang Shuzhi's fingers tightened slightly, and his thumb made a light mark on his cheek: "Yan Qing, why don't you speak?"

Sima Rong's eyes trembled, and he opened his mouth: "Prime Minister, Xia's uncle and nephew are still outside, it's important to settle this matter first."

Wang Shuzhi looked at him steadfastly, his fingertips relaxed, but he was reluctant to leave, he rubbed his temples nostalgicly, and smiled with the corners of his lips: "Did you push you too hard just now?"

Sima Rong blinked: "This subordinate just doesn't know how to answer."

"Then...why did you block the sword for me?" Seeing him open his mouth, Wang Shuzhi suddenly felt tense, and hastily stopped in front of him and added, "Aside from your so-called kindness of knowing you, is there any other reason?"

Sima Rong stared at him blankly, his heart was churning, the unrestrained and unrestrained celebrity when he first met, now he lowered his posture and looked at him, as if he had become a little strange, and besides the strangeness, his heart hurt slightly .

"Prime Minister misunderstood." Sima Rong clenched his throat, "When this subordinate rescued Prime Minister, he didn't think of that, but... he didn't want to see something happen to Prime Minister."

A gleam of light flashed in Wang Shuzhi's dark pupils, and a smile gradually surfaced: "Is this true?"

"Naturally." Sima Rong made him stare straight at him, seeing his familiar smile return, his heart skipped a beat and he quickly looked away.

Wang Shuzhi's eyes were locked on his face, his fingers accidentally touched the tips of his ears, and the tentacles were slightly hot. It seemed that his heart was burned all of a sudden. He couldn't help breathing hard, and his eyes instantly became dark. , lightly pecked at the tip of his ear.

"Cheng..." Sima Rong was so shocked that he almost jumped up from the couch, then he frowned, closed his eyes and let out a heavy hiss.

Wang Shuzhi's complexion changed drastically, and he hurriedly supported him: "Don't move! The pain is severe? Let me see the wound." As he spoke, he wanted to pull down his shirt.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt anymore." Sima Rong pressed his arm, "Prime Minister, let's settle the outside matters first, so we can hurry on our way."

Wang Shuzhi saw that his face softened, his heartstrings relaxed slightly, and he sighed helplessly, "It's because I was acting emotionally, so this matter is up to you."

Sima Rong was slightly relieved to see that he was no longer entangled in their private affairs.

Wang Shuzhi said again: "You just need to remember what I said, you have saved my life, and I should promise it with my body."

"..." Sima Rong suddenly felt powerless, "I've never heard of such a repayment. If other people are also kind to the prime minister, will the prime minister allow it?"

"Yan Qing actually cares about this?" Wang Shuzhi was pleasantly surprised, "Don't worry, this matter will never happen again. If you promise it once, you won't allow it. I won't make you jealous."

"..." Sima Rong wished he could suffocate himself to death under the brocade quilt. After a long silence, he said vaguely, "This subordinate is just asking casually and has no other intentions."

"I see." Wang Shuzhi sighed regretfully.

Sima Rong: "..."

Wang Shuzhi gave a low laugh, and tucked his quilt tightly: "You rest first, I'll be back soon." Then he got up, suppressed his smile, and walked out.

Xia's uncle and nephew had been waiting outside for a long time, Xia Yongsi looked calm and calm, but Xia Zhizhang was so anxious that he was sweating, the voices of the two inside were lowered, but he couldn't make out what they were talking about What, I couldn't help guessing wildly for a while, seeing Wang Shuzhi stepping out at this time, I looked at him anxiously.

Wang Shuzhi didn't see any joy or anger, but the coldness on his face faded a bit. He sat down beside the case and was silent for a moment. Finally, he glanced at him from the corner of his eyes, and said with a smile, "Master Xia, you know, Yan Qing should stop you if you tell me the truth inside." A pass to intercede?"

Xia Zhizhang glanced at his nephew, bowed his head and said, "Mr. Yan Qing is generous and benevolent. I am grateful to the next official, but I don't know..."

Wang Shuzhi pondered and said: "Master Xia sent his nephew here in person. It is human nature to beg for mercy. It is not a matter of favoritism. Mr. Xia took the initiative to confess and dare to act. I admire the truth. Both of you uncle and nephew are upright people. If If you can put your mind right, you can still be a pillar of the country, and there is no room for change in this matter."

When Xia Zhizhang heard it, his face immediately showed joy: "The prime minister's kindness and great virtue will never be forgotten by the lower officials."

"Hey! I haven't finished." Wang Shuzhi smiled lightly, "Liu Qishan was corrupt and broke the law. There are laws to follow for his death, so he can't blame the truth. Mr. Xia must have misunderstood the truth in this matter. Personal grievances are really unjust!"

Xia Zhizhang knew that he was deliberately making the big deal smaller, so he raised his elbow and stabbed Xia Yongsi.

Xia Yongsi understood, although he was unwilling, he did not want to risk his life, so he hurriedly said respectfully: "Caomin misunderstood the prime minister, the crime is unforgivable, Caomin is willing to be punished!"

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then it's easy to talk about." Wang Shuzhi waved his hand and said with a smile, "Yan Qing was injured, but fortunately his life is safe, but he will suffer in the end! Mr. Xia's death penalty can be avoided, but it needs to be avoided. To be punished."

Xia Zhizhang's heart relaxed, and the heart hanging in his throat finally swallowed it again, and hurriedly brought Xia Yongsi to the ground to salute, and his gratitude was beyond words: "The great kindness and virtue of the prime minister and Mr. Yan Qing, I will remember it in my heart Heart!"

"As for punishment, it's not a big deal. Let's go to the monastery and think about it for three months. It can be considered as praying for Yan Qing and accumulating virtue."

Xia Zhizhang was stunned when he heard this, he thought that the death penalty would be inevitable, but after thinking about it for three months, he was dazed for a long time, and then brought Xia Yongsi to kowtow to the ground again, thanking him repeatedly.

Wang Shuzhi glanced at Xia Yongsi lightly, and said with a smile, "Since the misunderstanding has been resolved, Master Xia and Young Master Xia, please go back."

Xia Zhizhang turned his eyes to look at the inner room, and said hesitantly: "I don't know how the injury of Mr. Yan Qing is? If Mr. Yan Qing doesn't dislike it, you might as well go to the humble house to recuperate. The official will definitely find a famous doctor to treat him and arrange someone to take good care of him. The next official feels guilty, if he doesn't do his part, he may have trouble sleeping and eating."

"Master Xia speaks seriously. Since it is a misunderstanding, let's put it down from now on. We will leave tomorrow."

"Then I will go back immediately and prepare a comfortable carriage."

"Why? The truth's carriage is not comfortable enough?"

"Naturally not." Xia Zhizhang wiped his cold sweat secretly, "Since that's the case, then the subordinate officials will not disturb the prime minister's cleanliness."

Wang Shuzhi nodded with a smile: "Master Xia, please do what you want."

Xia Zhizhang withdrew, and immediately called his subordinates over as soon as he entered the prefect's mansion: "Go and find out, what is the origin of the man named Yan Qing next to the Prime Minister?"

Xia Yongsi watched the man take the order and left, and said calmly: "Uncle only needs to curry favor with the prime minister, what do you care about so much?"

Xia Zhizhang sighed: "This matter has been turned around with just a few words from Mr. Yan Qing. This man is extraordinary, and his identity is specious. If I don't investigate clearly, I will feel uneasy!"

"Why is uncle so confused? Then how could Wang Yanqing's few words influence the prime minister's decision? You said I was being used by the crown prince, so why aren't you being tricked by the prime minister?" Xia Yongsi looked angrily, "He is clearly trying to create a rift between us and the crown prince. !"

"Bastard!" Xia Zhizhang suddenly became angry, "Whether what you say is true or not, he is doing you a favor by letting your life go! Pack up your bags and go to the monastery!"

Seeing his anger, Xia Yongsi immediately lowered his banners and drums, bowed his head and said, "Don't be angry, uncle, my nephew will go now."

After the two uncles and nephews left, Wang Shuzhi was also unhappy, and went back to the inner room and shook his head repeatedly: "Xia Zhizhang is honest, so Xia Yongsi may not be willing to kill him, I always feel unwilling!"

Sima Rong turned his head to look out the window, and raised the corners of his lips: "Don't be in a hurry, someone will take care of him for the Prime Minister."

Wang Shuzhi laughed when he heard this, and put the matter aside, and sat down beside him: "It's getting dark, I'll change your medicine later, you sleep well, and we'll leave tomorrow morning."

Sima Rong blinked, and hurriedly said: "How dare Shang Yao bother the prime minister, just call someone over here, or call the doctor over."

"Are you underestimating me?"

"……no."

"Why is that?" Wang Shuzhi leaned over to look at him, his face extremely innocent, "You hurt me for me, I gave you the medicine, I did my best, and you want to refuse?"

"..." Sima Rong was silent for a long time, seeing his eyes dimmed, his heart twitched violently, and he said helplessly, "Prime Minister can do whatever he wants."

Wang Shuzhi smiled immediately, and quickly ordered his attendant to bring in the medicine. After the person left, he sat back beside the couch, leaned over and put his hands around his waist, untied his belt, and groped along the skirt of his clothes.

Sima Rong's body was a little stiff, and he hurriedly said: "Prime Minister, let's help the subordinates get up."

"No, toss and toss, you are the one who suffers." Wang Shuzhi looked calm, and pulled open his lapel as he spoke, fearing that he would catch cold, he lifted the brocade quilt around his waist upwards, and then lifted his lapel , from the nape of the neck.
