King's Landing [Rebirth]

Wang Shuzhi returned to the prime minister's mansion with a smile on his face, because he was reminiscing about Sima Rong's reaction when he pinched his palm all the way, the tenderness in his eyes wished it could turn into spring water.

Seeing that he was in such a good mood, everyone in the mansion became happy for a while, and they were beaming as if they were celebrating the New Year.

Young Master Yan Qing was still missing, but ever since the Prime Minister stopped staying in the study one night and refused to rest, the dark clouds over the Prime Minister's Mansion have dissipated, and now it is even brighter and brighter.

Everyone couldn't figure it out, and they didn't know if the prime minister had given up on Mr. Yan Qing and stopped thinking about it. This speculation made the maidservants so sad that they shed tears several times.

The prime minister doesn't want it, we want it!But now that no one can be found, do you really want to marry a thick-skinned farmer?Life is so hard!

Only pavilions think they have found the truth.

Wang Ting looked at Wang Shu's back as he walked away, rolled his eyes, covered his mouth and whispered: "The prime minister took all those paintings away, and when he came back, he smiled like this. I guess I probably found them a long time ago." Young Master Yan Qing."

The other three were full of doubts: "Why didn't you bring him back when you found it?"

"Stupid! Mr. Yan Qing asked the Prime Minister to give..." Wang Ting winked and gave him a knowing look, "Mr. Yan Qing is thin-skinned, I am sorry to come back."

"Oh—!" The three suddenly realized.

"The prime minister must have placed him outside, and the golden house is hiding his beauty."

"Yeah!" The three of them nodded in agreement.

While talking, Wang Shuzhi's voice suddenly came from inside the room: "Wang Ting, come in."

The pavilions followed in a hurry.

Wang Shuzhi raised his sleeve and smelled the smell of alcohol on his body: "Is the hot water ready?"

"Yes."

"Well, take out my night clothes and put them aside."

The four of them looked at each other, and they all had expressions of "it's true", and they agreed in unison, serving those who changed clothes and those who took a bath, and got busy in an orderly manner.

After tidying up, Wang Shuzhi changed into his night clothes and was about to take some guards out when he saw Pei Liang rushing in with a person.

"Prime Minister, a letter from Da Sima." Pei Liang said as he stepped aside, and the messenger who followed him took two steps forward, handing over a letter with both hands.

Wang Shuzhi suppressed his smile, frowned slightly, and glanced at Pei Liang dissatisfied.

Pei Liang bit the bullet and remained silent.

Recently Jingzhou wrote frequently, Wang Shuzhi was very annoyed, and he was still thinking about it, so he didn't give a real response, and told Pei Liang to bear it first.

Now it's good, if you can't stand it, it's fine, but you bring someone directly to you, isn't this forcing yourself to answer?

Although Pei Liang lowered his eyes expressionlessly, he felt wronged in his heart. Seeing him opening the letter with a displeased face, the paper shaking and rattling, he was afraid that he would say something bad in a fit of anger, so he hurriedly whispered Open the mouth: "Prime Minister..."

"Huh?" Wang Shuzhi looked up at him.

Pei Liang pointed to the messenger beside him.

Wang Shuzhi turned his head to look, only to notice that the figure of the person who came was very familiar, he took a closer look, his complexion changed slightly, and he hurriedly turned around: "Follow me to the study!"

The three of them hurried into the study room, Pei Guangming made tea with a candle, exited silently, and stood guard outside the door.

Wang Shuzhi looked at the visitor with a half-smile: "Cousin is not timid, and he is not afraid of being discovered and passed on to the emperor's ears."

The visitor raised his head, straightened his back, his face was [-]% similar to Wang Shuzhi's, he was his cousin who was supposed to be in Jingzhou, Wang Yu's eldest son, Wang Zhongzhi.

Wang Zhongzhi saw that he was wearing night clothes, and asked suspiciously, "It's so late, you want to go out?"

Wang Shuzhi smiled: "I originally planned to go to the shogunate."

Wang Chongzhi didn't think much, just nodded casually, and said: "I heard that Prince Rui is holding a banquet in the residence today, you should go too, I wonder if it's lively or not?"

"Naturally lively." Wang Shuzhi's tone was flat and he didn't want to talk too much.

Wang Zhongzhi showed displeasure: "Last time you falsely passed on father's order to hinder the assassination. Now that Prince Rui is proud, it is very detrimental to us. Should you give father an explanation?"

"There is such a thing?" Wang Shuzhi looked surprised.

"Still pretending? There is no need to beat around the bush between you and me." Wang Zhongzhi sat up with his robe lifted, took a full sip from the teacup, and showed a bit of sternness on his sharp-edged face, "What is the meaning of this move? Did Prince Rui hook up? By doing this, where will father be placed?"

When Wang Shuzhi heard the word "hook up", the corners of his lips curved slightly invisibly, and he immediately said seriously: "Cousin, why did you say it so seriously? If something happened to Prince Rui, do you think the Emperor can't find out? Want him? A lot of people have had accidents, so why does uncle need to be that early rafter?"

Although Wang Zhongzhi is a military commander, his temper is relatively impulsive, but his mind is not stupid, it is obviously not easy to dispel doubts after hearing what he said, so he stared straight at him: "Are you teaming up with Prince Rui?"

"No." Wang Shuzhi shook his head very calmly.

"Hmph! I don't believe what you say. If you hadn't obstructed secretly, assassinating Prince Rui could be said to be absolutely safe, and he would have escaped unscathed afterwards."

Wang Shuzhi knew that sooner or later he would not be able to avoid being questioned, so he sighed lightly: "I just don't want Prince Rui to die unexpectedly."

Wang Chongzhi frowned and thought for a while: "It seems that although you haven't teamed up with Prince Rui, you have something on your mind."

Wang Shuzhi didn't deny it, and said with a light smile, "Prince Rui has a lot in his chest. If he wants to fight for the heir, I will help him. If he doesn't, I will do as usual. In short, I can't let anyone hurt his life!"

Wang Zhongzhi didn't expect him to say these words, and he couldn't believe it: "You don't even know what he thinks, and you made such a decision? It's too rash!"

Wang Shuzhi supported his forehead, and rubbed his fingertips on the corner of his forehead lightly: "I will know soon."

"Ridiculous!" Wang Zhongzhi's veins twitched and his face showed an angry look, "Prince Rui is by no means simple! He is alone and alone, but he can carve out a way for himself, you should not underestimate him!"

Wang Shuzhi raised his eyebrows: "If such a person inherits the great rule, wouldn't it be the luck of the imperial court, the great Jin, and the people?"

"It's not the luck of you and me! It's not the luck of the Langya Wang family!" Wang Zhongzhi sneered coldly, "He is so incompetent today and still wants to weaken the Wang family. If King Rui ascends the throne in the future, with his ability, there is no way for you and me to survive. ?”

Wang Shuzhi's complexion was slightly gloomy, and a layer of frost formed in his eyes: "Hu people look across the river. If there is no master, how can this country be defended? My cousin has forgotten the shame of crossing south in clothes? , Mao will be attached, if the country is not protected, can the Wang family of Langya survive under the iron hooves of the barbarians?!"

"With my Wang family here, how can we allow barbarians to cross the river!" Seeing his eloquence, Wang Zhongzhi became even more annoyed, and threw the teacup heavily on the table, "If it weren't for the weakness and incompetence and vacillation today, my father would have led the army long ago. The Northern Expedition!"

Wang Shuzhi sneered: "Don't you think that King Yi can sit back and relax when he ascends the throne? How can someone else sleep soundly on the side of the couch? Now he relies on you and me. Once he ascends the throne in the future, he will turn his face and deny anyone. I am afraid that the determination to remove this thorn in your flesh and mine will be stronger than today. It's still big! The Northern Expedition? Idiots are dreaming!"

"It's nonsense! Could it be that Prince Rui is merciful?!"

Wang Shuzhi squinted his eyes: "Anyway, he can clearly distinguish the priorities. Uncle and cousin work hard for the court. Smart people will continue to use them, as long as...you don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have."

Wang Zhongzhi's complexion changed slightly, and he was furious: "You bastard! What kind of promise did he give you? You are simply obsessed!"

Wang Shuzhi did not give in: "There is no promise, I am just discussing the facts. Is King Yi so easy to handle? Uncle and cousin are probably fascinated by power!"

"You!!!" Wang Zhongzhi's anger rose from his heart, and he raised his finger to point at him, but he couldn't speak, so he slammed his fist hard on the desk.

"Bang!" Then there was the sound of the teacup breaking.

Pei Liang, who was guarding outside, had already tensed up when he heard the dispute inside, and looked around vigilantly.

After a while, the door behind him slammed open, Wang Zhongzhi rushed out with a gloomy face, and soon lowered his head to make a humble appearance, still pretending to be a messenger, said "farewell", and left in a hurry.

Seeing that he was exuding a murderous look, Pei Liang knew that he broke up unhappy, turned around and walked into the study, and asked in a low voice: "Is the Prime Minister still going to Prince Rui's Mansion?"

Wang Shuzhi leaned against the short table, looked tired, and waved his hands.

Pei Liang didn't say any more, and quietly retreated out.

Wang Shuyi stayed up all night.

Sima Rong was also tossing and turning, sometimes thinking about future plans, sometimes thinking of Wang Shuzhi's dozens of scrolls, his mood was fluctuating, so he just unfolded those portraits and looked at them carefully, and didn't close his eyes until the sky was twilight.

On the second day, Sima Shan found a reason to come to see him.

The two sat down in the gazebo in the middle of the lake, and Sima Shan took out a small slingshot: "Second brother, do you still remember making a slingshot for me when I was young?"

Sima Rong laughed: "Of course I remember."

Sima Shan happily stuffed the slingshot into his hand: "Now you are fine, you don't have to be as careful as before, just tell me what you want to play."

"Okay!" Sima Rong was full of interest, picked up a stone and wrapped it up, opened the slingshot and glanced at a fat bird on the tree, withdrew his hand with just one glance, turned his head and said to the housekeeper beside him: "Go down, call the little bird!" Just come and serve me."

"Yes."

Waiting for the people to leave, Sima Rong aimed at the tree trunk and opened his bow at will.

Sima Shan picked up stones for him and asked, "What's the matter with you and the prime minister?"

"Ok?"

"He sneaked into my mansion that night and found Yuan Sheng. He must have been looking for you."

Sima Rong was stunned for a moment, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "It's for me."

"Why..." Sima Shan looked around and said in a low voice, "Are you planning to win him over? As far as I know, Wang Yu has a close relationship with King Yi. He is also from the Wang family, is it reliable?"

Sima Rong twisted the stone in his hand, pursed his lips and sighed for a while, "The prime minister treats me very well and is trustworthy, but it's not easy for his family to be involved. I... haven't thought it through yet."

"what?"

"I won't force him, let him do as he pleases."

Sima Shan always felt that the meaning in his words was a bit weird, so he scratched his chin inexplicably.

Sima Rong said: "Choose some people for me. In this mansion, the butler will not move for the time being. I will find a chance to change others."

"Okay." Seeing him throwing a stone into the lake, Sima Shan hastily handed over another, "Since he wants to look for you, he may come here soon. You said he had a good door and wouldn't leave, and climbed over the wall." for what?"

Sima Rong's smile deepened.

"I'll find an excuse to stay tonight. You have a lot of eyes and ears here. I'll draw their attention."

"it is good."

"One more thing..." Sima Shan pondered, "Wang Zhongzhi sneaked into Beijing last night and stayed in the prime minister's mansion until midnight. He didn't know what to discuss, and he went back soon, coming and going in a hurry."

Sima Rong's smile stopped, his mind was a little confused.

That night, Prince Rui's mansion fell into silence, Sima Rong sat on the couch, opened the window and looked out the window under the moonlight.

I don't know how long it has passed, while he was in a trance, suddenly a black shadow flashed past, before he could react, the black shadow jumped through the window and quickly closed the window.

Sima Rong thought that he would be calm in the face of this unexpected event, but unexpectedly, his heart beat faster for a moment, his palms almost sweated, and he fell into a familiar embrace.

"Yan Qing!" Wang Shuzhi's voice was deep, with a smile on his face, and his scorching breath spread around his neck.
