Because Yin Ciguang was going to the Imperial Hospital, Yin Chengyu specially asked Zheng Duobao to accompany him to avoid Yin Ciguang encountering obstacles in his actions.

Yin Ciguang thanked him again before taking his leave.

When he was leaving, he passed Xue Shu who was standing in the hall, and couldn't help but glanced at him secretly.

He knew Xue Shu, from a humble servant in Xichang to the No. 1 celebrity in front of Emperor Longfeng, Xue Shu's fierce reputation resounded throughout the palace.It was rumored in the palace that the reason why Emperor Longfeng reused Xue Shu was because the prince and Xue Shu had old grudges and their relationship was not harmonious.This time when Emperor Longfeng went south, the crown prince stayed behind to supervise the country, and Emperor Longfeng also deliberately left Xue Shu to monitor, which confirmed the rumors.

But now it seems that the relationship between the two is not as bad as the rumors.

When Xue Shu glanced over, Yin Ciguang quickly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and followed Zheng Duobao out.

Just now because of Yin Ciguang's presence, Yin Chengyu only picked up and asked some unimportant things, now that there are no outsiders, he just looked at Xue Shu and asked about things in the South: "Tell me about the situation in the South. "

Xue Shu then told him in detail what Wei Xihe said in his letter.

Escorted by Wei Xihe, Fang Zhengke, the censor of salt, went to the various salt envoys to conduct a thorough investigation of the salt department for more than two months.Fang Zhengke has already inspected the Salt Envoys in Shandong, Hedong, and Lianghuai. When he wrote the letter, he had visited Zhejiang and Fujian.

Fang Zhengke is upright and familiar with salt administration.Now that he got the warrant of Emperor Longfeng and the escort of Wei Xihe's elite soldiers, he has no scruples on the road, and has thoroughly investigated all the salt envoys, turning the world upside down.

The north is suffering from pimple plague, and the south is obviously not peaceful.

Fang Zhengke searched all the way, and did not know how many salt officials and local gentry were involved, and the amount of stolen money confiscated was too late to even seal the boxes and make a book.

Now Wei Xihe ordered people to send back several shipments of medicinal materials to Beijing. It was because of a hurry that he embezzled the stolen money to buy them.All the corresponding documents are sent back to Beijing with the letter, and it is necessary to go to the household department to make up the withdrawal documents.

The rest of the seized stolen silver was also escorted back to Beijing by special personnel after the medicinal materials, and filled into the treasury.

This is rare good news recently, and Yin Chengyu smiled a little: "Yes, Shoufu Yu told Gu the day before yesterday that the epidemic prevention expenditure is huge, and the national treasury is already in an emergency. This stolen money is just to solve the urgent need."

Once Yin Chengyu was in a good mood, he looked at Xue Shu with a smile on his face.

It happened that the waiters below came to ask if they wanted dinner, so Yin Chengyu ordered the dinner to be placed outside Hongren Hall, and called Xue Shu to go out to eat together.

He just got up and took two steps when he frowned.

Seeing this, Xue Shu asked with concern, "What's wrong, Your Highness?"

Yin Chengyu glanced at him, frowned and said nothing.

Xue Shu didn't understand what he meant, and continued to chase after a few more words.

Yin Chengyu originally wanted to send the person out first and deal with it by himself.But after being questioned repeatedly by him, he lost his temper again, and simply sat back.

He looked at Xue Shu for a while, smiled, raised his chin slightly and said: "You close the door, the auspicious buckle is loose, and you put it back on Gu."

Xue Shu closed the door and turned around, only to hear him talking about auspicious buttons.But his eyes swept over him, but he didn't see him wearing it, and his expression showed doubts.

Yin Chengyu looked at him with his chin propped up, and ordered: "Kneel down."

Xue Shu knelt down on one knee in front of him and looked up at him.

Yin Chengyu raised his right foot and placed it on his knee: "Take off Gu's shoes and socks."

His tone sounded lazy, and when he looked down, there was something strange in his eyes.Like a rich flower that blooms in spring, it attracts bees and butterflies.

Xue Shu's heart skipped a beat suddenly, and when he vaguely realized something, his eyes suddenly became warm.

He supported Yin Chengyu's calf with one hand, and took off his shoes and socks with the other.Along with the white socks, there is also an emerald green auspicious buckle.

The red rope of the auspicious buckle fell apart and fell to the ground, making a slight sound.

Xue Shu stared closely, feeling that the auspicious button had landed on the tip of his heart.

It hurt and itched him, and he was dazed.

He subconsciously tightened his hands, clasping the delicate ankle bone under his palm: "Your Highness..."

Xue Shu's eyes were on fire, his voice was hoarse from the flames, his expression and movements were restrained, but his body was very honest.

Yin Chengyu watched him condescendingly, taking in everything at a glance.He smiled slowly, like a hunter who has caught his prey, his eyes gleamed with joy.

He leaned forward, pinched Xue Shu's chin, rubbed his fingers slowly twice, and then said: "This rope is too slippery, it can't be tied firmly, you should fasten it tighter."

This red string was worn by Yin Chengyu himself.

All the accessories he used were arranged by Zheng Duobao.Now suddenly there is an extra auspicious button, if he specifies that he wants to wear it, according to Zheng Duobao's temperament, he will always ask a few questions.But he didn't want to explain in detail, so he simply asked Zheng Duobao for a red string, and tied the auspicious buckle on it himself.

The neck and wrists are easy to see, only the ankles are more concealed.

I just didn't expect that the red rope was not strong, and it fell apart.

There are advantages to being separated.

Yin Chengyu bent his legs and touched him with his toes: "Recover yourself, why are you so dazed?"

Xue Shu's breathing became chaotic for a moment, and he grabbed his ankle suddenly, with blue veins popping out on his forehead.

After a long time, he just let go of his hand and lowered his head to pick up the auspicious buckle that fell on the ground.

The small hole in the center of the auspicious buckle is passed through by a red string. The rich green is matched with a touch of bright red, and the gorgeous color scheme hits Xue Shu's eyes.

He tried his best to control his breathing, pinched the two ends of the red rope, and wrapped it around Yin Chengyu's ankle.

Porcelain white skin is used as the base, and the strong color is about to overflow.

Yin Chengyu watched him shake his hands.He failed to tie the red rope several times, so he snorted, put his feet back on his lap, and said, "Forget it, I'm afraid this rope is not very good. You can make a stronger rope and send it to Gu Gu. stop."

As if being pardoned, Xue Shu exhaled lightly, put away Jixiang, and said with a hoarse voice.

"Put on the shoes and socks for Gu." Yin Chengyu swept across him with a half-smile, with a slightly teasing tone: "That's all I can do, I can't even tie a knot in the rope."

Xue Shu put on the shoes and socks for him again. Hearing this, his eyes locked on him, and every word seemed to come out from between his teeth: "I will take care of it."

Unexpectedly, he dared to talk back, the smile on Yin Chengyu's face faded, and he lowered his gaze and snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter what you will do, what matters is what I ask you to do, understand?"

Xue Shu's words were vague, and Yin Chengyu's answers were also vague.

The two were playing charades, but they knew each other well.

Xue Shu thought of the green auspicious buttons in his arms, licked his dry lips, and did not refute.

As for what was in his mind, only he knew.

Yin Chengyu didn't care, stepped back on the ground, and gave him a glance: "You look like this, it's inconvenient to go to eat. I allow you to stay a little longer before leaving."

Xue Shu stood up, followed him with his eyes, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly said, "Your Highness, there are still three days left before my birthday."

Yin Chengyu looked back at him from outside the door, and smiled inexplicably: "I remember it alone, I can't forget it."

……

When Yin Chengyu returned to the room after dinner, Xue Shu was nowhere to be seen.

He sat down in front of the case, recalled three quarters of an hour ago, but he was not in the mood to deal with business, he simply spread out the rice paper, picked up a pen and splashed ink.

This time, Xue Shu was still in the painting.

Still wearing the crimson python robe, but with a much greener face.

Yin Chengyu stared at the person in the painting for a long time, his frowning brows slowly relaxed, and the corners of his mouth curled into a subtle arc.

"So, it's not bad."

In his last life, he had too much entanglement with Xue Shu, and his grudge was too deep.

The timing of their encounter was too bad, he was thrown into the abyss, and he could only crawl out by holding tightly to Xue Shu's hands. Those hands had given him hope, but they had also stripped away all his dignity and pride.

I hated it, hated it, and relied on it.

He walked alone in the dark night, only these hands never let go from beginning to end, clearing countless obstacles for him.

Years passed, and the life and death of the two lives were separated.

The bright memories slowly fade, and the love and hatred are no longer strong.Thinking about it now, only a little bit of melancholy remains.

Looking back thousands of miles, the old man will never die.

Xue Shu was wrong, and he was also wrong.

They are all too proud and stubborn, tempting each other, but no one is willing to bow their heads first.I thought that if I lowered my head, I would admit defeat.

But in fact, on the gambling table, the only winner is the banker.

Both he and Xue Shu were gamblers, and they suffered a crushing defeat.

Yin Chengyu looked at the painting quietly for a long time.

Afterwards, he rolled it up and called Zhao Lin in: "Go to Yutai County, Jining, and find out the whereabouts of a woman named Xue Hongying during the 14-year epidemic in Longfeng. She is about 20 years old. Left and right, once served as a concubine to a wealthy local family..."

He recalled the information about Xue Hongying briefly mentioned by Xue Shu, and told Zhao Lin as much as possible: "It is best if the person is alive. After finding the person, he should protect him in secret and report to Yugu as soon as possible. If the person is gone, at least he can To find the bones."

Zhao Lin didn't ask the reason, just handed it over,

Yin Chengyu instructed again, "Don't act in secret after leaking the news", before letting Zhao Lin back down.

When the person went out, he spread out the still somewhat rough picture scroll, picked up the brush again, and drew it in detail.

In the last life, Xue Shu also found the only blood of the Yu family for him; in this life, he reciprocated, no matter whether he lived or died, he would find his only family member for him.

When Yin Chengyu put down his pen again, half an hour had passed.

The smoke from the gilt Boshan furnace is lingering, blurring the boy on the scroll.

The boy wears a red robe with a silver knife.Eyebrows are sharp, high-spirited.

Yin Chengyu looked at it for a long time, and then he wrote: "Where I am in my heart, there is more desolation. I will tell you when I stay and return. When I arrive, I meet again. I have been parted for a long time." Clouds and rains, respect the flowers and the moon."

After the painting was completed, Yin Chengyu signed it, and just now he called Zheng Duobao to frame it.

"Send it back after framing, be careful, don't let others see it."

Zheng Duobao let out an "ah", but didn't dare to open it, and retreated holding the scroll.

The author has something to say:

Gougou: Your Highness stepped on me.

PS: "Where the heart is cut, how much more desolate, stay attentively and tell when you return. When you arrive, you will meet again, just after years of parting.", "Let go of the clouds and rain in front of your pillow, and respect the flowers and moon in front of you." From Zhang Yuanqian's "Slowness in Shizhou" "
