King's Landing [Rebirth]

The Prime Minister came to visit in the middle of the night, the purpose of which was self-evident. Lu Zixiu was now on the verge of riding a tiger. He said softly: "As long as you tell Yuan Sheng's whereabouts, I will keep my mouth shut for you. I don't know what you want?"

The implication is that if you don't explain it, this matter will definitely reach the prime minister's ears.

Sima Rong and Lu Zixiu were not familiar with each other, so they couldn't talk about trust, not to mention seeing him with his own eyes today, which was completely contrary to the rumors, so naturally he didn't dare to underestimate him. If you have doubted me, can you convince him just by your empty talk? If he has already suspected me, what difference does it make to me whether you say it or not?"

Lu Zixiu's eyes suddenly brightened: "So, you admit that you are a fake?"

Sima Rong raised the corners of his lips: "So what? Are you going to blackmail me with this?"

Lu Zixiu didn't take his words to heart. Although he had already guessed, he was still excited to hear him admit it. The calculation in his eyes was suddenly replaced by nervousness, and he grabbed his shoulders uncontrollably: "Yuansheng he... "

"Alive."

Lu Zixiu pursed his lips tightly and nodded silently. Perhaps his heartstrings were too tense. He suddenly relaxed. He didn't know how to deal with it. After a long while, he let him go. Turning to face the night, he took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He asked, "Is he alright?"

Sima Rong paused for a moment, he thought he was not a kind person, even if he let others die for him, he could be calm, but when he thought of this stranger Yuan Sheng, he felt inexplicably guilty, and couldn't help frowning: " I never treated him harshly."

Lu Zixiu nodded again, and when he turned around again, he regained his composure, and asked again, "Where is he?"

"It's far away from the capital, please forgive me for not having anything to say."

Lu Zixiu's face darkened: "Are you really not afraid that I will tell the Prime Minister?"

Sima Rong smiled indifferently: "If Lord Lu can keep his mouth shut for me, I will definitely return Yuan Sheng to Zhao. If not, you may never see him again in your lifetime."

Lu Zixiu's eyes turned cold.

"Lord Lu might as well wait patiently, Yuan Sheng may not want to see you at this time." Sima Rong looked down at the rope on his body and said, "How long do you plan to keep the prime minister waiting?"

Lu Zixiu paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "Obviously I was the one who brought you here, but unexpectedly you threatened me. You really impress me. No wonder the Prime Minister came here for you."

Sima Rong looked indifferent, but in fact there was a lot of turmoil in his heart. At the same time, he was secretly glad that if Wang Shuzhi hadn't arrived in time, Lu Zixiu would definitely not be so easy to deal with. The fate he admitted honestly would really be tortured to extract a confession. Life is also very possible.

Although the two of them had no common interests, they were coerced by each other, so Lu Zixiu stopped embarrassing him and asked someone to untie him.

When they arrived at the front hall, Sima Rong followed Lu Zixiu across the threshold. When he raised his eyes, he saw Wang Shuzhi standing with his hands behind his back, looking straight at him with his usual smile. With lowered eyes, he walked over at a leisurely pace: "Prime Minister."

Wang Shuzhi pulled him to his side, frowned and squeezed his hand: "Why is it so cold?"

"It's cooler at night." Sima Rong let the dry warmth of his palms be covered, and he felt a little greedy. He moved his hands slightly, but he didn't pull them out after all.

Lu Zixiu stepped forward to salute, bowed his hands, and said with a smile, "I don't know if the Prime Minister's visit is late at night, and the lower officials are not welcome."

Wang Shuzhi first looked at Sima Rong up and down, making sure that he was fine, then turned his head to look at him, raised his hand with a smile, "Lord Lu, you don't need to be polite, but Yan Qing suddenly disappeared today, and the truth has been searched all over Jiankang. I didn't see him in the city, and I was very anxious, so I came here to try my luck, but I didn't expect to come to the right place. Did you ever disturb Master Lu to rest when you came here late at night?"

"Prime Minister is serious, I haven't gone to bed yet." Lu Zixiu glanced at Sima Rong from the corner of his eye, and said, "I was supposed to send Yan Qing back, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, and I forgot the time when we chatted. I hope the Prime Minister will forgive me." .”

Wang Shuzhi smiled: "It doesn't matter, as long as you find it, I almost thought that something happened to Yan Qing."

Lu Zixiu didn't answer his words, and raised his hand to indicate the seat: "Prime Minister, please sit down."

"It's late at night, so don't bother Mr. Lu." Wang Shuzhi waved his hand, glanced at Sima Rong, and said with a smile, "Yan Qing seems to be in a bad mood, and he should go back to rest early."

Lu Zixiu glanced at the hands they held, and said, "I have a merciless request from you."

Wang Shuzhi was about to take people out, when he heard this, he stopped and looked back at him: "What's the matter?"

"Yan Qing was exempted from slavery by the prime minister. He is no longer a member of the prime minister's mansion. He should move out to live with him. He has been with Xiaguan for eight years and has a close relationship with him. They are like relatives. The prime minister may as well allow him to live here. , firstly, I can take care of him as an official, and secondly, it will prevent him from disturbing the prime minister."

Wang Shuzhi laughed when he heard that, and turned to look at Sima Rong: "How does Yan Qing feel?"

"I'm under the prime minister's order." Sima Rong guessed that Lu Zixiu hadn't given up yet, so his face was slightly cold.

Wang Shuzhi's smile deepened, and he looked at Lu Zixiu: "Master Lu also saw that I couldn't eat or sleep after Yan Qing disappeared for a few hours. If he leaves the prime minister's mansion and comes to you, wouldn't I die of depression? ?”

The corner of Sima Rong's mouth twitched. He originally guessed that Wang Shuzhi would say "working in the shogunate, it is more convenient to live in the prime minister's mansion" and other high-sounding words, but he did not expect him to find such an unappealing reason.

Lu Zixiu was also taken aback when he heard it, and the words he had prepared in his stomach suddenly became useless.

"Now that the person has been found, I can go back and sleep peacefully." Wang Shuzhi yawned and sighed, "Alas... without Yan Qing, I really can't live this life!"

Sima Rong: "..."

Lu Zixiu: "..."

Wang Shuzhi smiled and bid farewell to Lu Zixiu, took Sima Rong out through the gate, dragged him into the carriage, leaned on the futon and said in a low voice, "Go home."

The oil lamp was always on in the carriage, and as soon as he entered, he was shrouded in a yellow halo. Sima Rong put down the roller blind, and when he turned around, he saw Wang Shuzhi's calm face. The previous smiling face disappeared like a flash in the pan, so he had to leave He sat down opposite him calmly.

Wang Shuzhi looked at him, saw that he was silent, moved to sit next to him, and said in a low voice, "Lu Zixiu arrested you, did you ever make things difficult for you?"

Sima Rong was not at all surprised when he asked this question. Lu Zixiu could guess that he was fake, so he could guess too. There is no need to pretend to be confused, so he just shook his head: "No."

"Really?" Wang Shuzhi was skeptical, "Have you ever been injured? Show me."

"I was never injured, so the prime minister is worried." Sima Rong pressed his hand and looked at him sideways, "How did the prime minister find it?"

"After I returned to the mansion, I heard that you were missing, so I sent someone out to look for it, but I didn't see you for a whole day in and out of the city. If you want to say who is related to you in the capital, then only Lu Zixiu, I I should have thought of it a long time ago..." Wang Shuzhi looked at him with deep eyes for a long time, hugged him, raised his hand and stroked his hair, "Lu Zixiu also hid it deeply, luckily I came not too late."

Sima Rong's breath was slightly stagnant because of this intimate posture, and he wanted to break free, but he hugged him even tighter.

Wang Shuzhi kissed him on the side of the ear and looked straight at him: "Don't you have anything to say?"

Sima Rong's Adam's apple twitched, and after a while he said in a low voice: "Didn't the prime minister already know about it?"

"I want to hear it from your own mouth."

"..." Sima Rong looked at him, then looked away, looked at the overlapping figures of the two on the wall of the carriage, and said slowly, "I'm not Yuan Sheng."

Wang Shuzhi suddenly laughed, his eyes brightened: "What else?"

"I'm using you."

"Well, I already said it last time." Wang Shuzhi nodded and smiled, "What do you want to use me for? To deal with the crown prince?"

"you can say it this way."

"why?"

Sima Rong paused, lowered his eyes and said, "I have a grudge against the Yu family."

Wang Shuzhi looked at him, his eyes were as deep as water, and he sighed softly: "What's there to hide? Wouldn't it be better to say it earlier?"

Sima Rong only spoke half of what he said, but felt inexplicably guilty in his heart, and suddenly he didn't dare to look him in the face, and for some reason, his heart seemed to soften a lot after being reborn, and now he couldn't calmly take things that he took for granted. Was Yuan Sheng's body affected by him?

It was midnight after returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, but everyone in the mansion held on and did not rest, and they were all relieved to see them come back.

Wang Shuzhi returned to his smiling face again, and followed Sima Rong step by step, insisting on taking a bath with him in the pool, with a firm tone that could not be resisted: "Take off your clothes."

Sima Rong was taken aback for a moment, thinking that there were several servants beside him, knowing that he would not mess around, he reluctantly took off his clothes layer by layer, hung them on the rack, and sat naked in the pool, when he heard a sound behind him, Knowing that he also entered the water, he turned and looked at him silently.

Unexpectedly, there was no teasing in Wang Shuzhi's eyes, but some concern, staring at him up and down.

Seeing him looking down through the clear water, Sima Rong tightened his breath, and turned around casually in a hurry, his face seemed calm, but his eyes darkened a bit, and then he heard him whispering behind him. With a sigh of relief, he realized that he was checking himself for injuries.

Wang Shuzhi waved his hand to push back the servants on the side, turned Sima Rong around, and said seriously: "Lu Zixiu regards Yuan Sheng as his heart, you have to be careful in the future, you can't go out alone, you must bring your guards."

Sima Rong stared at him blankly, with water ripples reflected in the depths of his pupils, adding a rare softness: "Thank you, Prime Minister."

Wang Shuzhi looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled softly: "There is no need to be grateful, I am just attacking my heart."

Sima Rong: "..."

Wang Shuzhi saw that his complexion suddenly darkened, he suddenly felt amused, laughed, raised his wet arms to hug him, turned around without any explanation, and pressed him against the pool wall.

The skins of the two touched each other, and a dense layer of hotness suddenly rose. Sima Rong was startled, and hurriedly turned sideways, raising his hand to separate him, but he caught him and carried him behind his back.

"Yan Qing..." Wang Shuzhi smiled deeply, and a kiss fell on his neck, "Can I wipe your back for you?"
