Chapter 2: Bad Water

It was five o'clock when I came out of Shangguan Mansion.

Dongfang Yinqi got into his own carriage with a tired face, and his bodyguard Ding Yun drove the carriage away.

In the carriage, Dongfang Yinqi closed his eyes and rested his mind, the end of his eyes slightly raised and a smile appeared, he twirled his fingertips lightly as if thinking about something.

Ding Yun glanced at Dongfang Yinqi puzzledly, and looked away after a while.

The two were clearly political enemies, and for some reason, every time something happened to Shangguan Chen, the adults would rush to help him without stopping.The point is that Shangguan Chen doesn't appreciate it at all. He can't figure out what the lord is trying to do with such a thankless task.

However, it is difficult to guess the mind of an adult, and it is normal for him not to guess.

Shangguan Mansion, Shangguan Chen was lying on the couch with his eyes closed and resting his mind, he really jumped out of his mind and burst out laughing: "Master, I really feel pity for your tenderness just now!"

Shangguan Chen continued to close his eyes and didn't intend to pay attention to him. He took a few steps on the spot and turned around abruptly, smiling like the wild chrysanthemum that exploded in spring: "If the master just doesn't respond to Dongfang Yinqi's request, I'm afraid... hehe ...There will be surprises~"

Shangguan Chen suppressed the anger in his heart, gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me, what happened just now?"

Zhen Zhen smiled very shyly... very... After thinking for a long time, Shangguan Chen only felt that only the word "wretched | petty" was the most appropriate for Zhen Zhen's expression.

"Master." Zhenzhen leaned forward, with a smiling face, "I forgot to turn off the trial function for the master just now, and now I will help the master to turn it off."

Trial feature?It's just dead!

Shangguan Chen stared fiercely at the boy in his head, and his voice was extremely threatening: "Get out!"

Really run away quickly.

This time, Shangguanchen fell ill for several days, and the situation in the court was turbulent. Dongfang Yinqi took the opportunity to put pressure on the emperor to promote several officials from his side.

After hearing the news brought by Qin Gu, Shangguan Chen's delicate eyebrows frowned.

Your Majesty, you have been suppressed again.

Dongfang Yinqi, what exactly do you want to achieve?

That night, a carriage quietly drove into the palace in the dark night.

In the imperial garden, Mo Lian, the young emperor of Dayuan Kingdom, stood there with a tired face. The eunuchs and court ladies stood not far behind him with their heads bowed. In front of Mo Lian was a broken cup.

Shangguanchen walked in front of Mo Lian silently, thought for a while, and made a gesture to bend down to pick up the porcelain pieces on the ground, but Mo Lian stopped him urgently: "Be careful of hurting your hands!"

Shangguan Chen raised his head, looked at Shang Molian's sincere eyes, and smiled very shallowly: "Who is Your Majesty getting angry with again?"

Mo Lian pursed his lips and remained silent, Shangguan Chen paused and continued to pick up the tiles on the ground, before his hand touched the tiles, one hand grabbed Shangguan Chen's hand first.

Shangguanchen raised his head, and Molian's gentle face was close in front of him. His soft brows could not help but frown, and he turned his head and told behind him: "You guys, clean this place."

Several court ladies and eunuchs trotted forward immediately, and in the blink of an eye, the ground was cleaned up.

Shangguan Chen straightened his waist slowly, and said "Your Majesty" helplessly.

Mo Lian turned his head to look in Shangguan Chen's direction, and when he met Shangguan Chen's eyes, the tired expression on his face eased a lot, like a lotus flower that has been dewed for a long time: "The assistant minister is feeling better recently?"

Shangguan Chen raised his brows and said, "I'm much better, and I'm sorry for your Majesty's concern."

Mo Lian took a few steps forward to keep a longer distance from the eunuchs and maids behind him, and Shangguan Chen also moved forward with Mo Lian.Mo Lian looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh, in addition to exhaustion, there was also countless helplessness in his voice: "Zian, I am very tired."

When no outsiders are around, Mo Lian always likes to call out Shangguan Chen's name.He felt that calling Shangguan Chen like this made the two seem closer.

Shangguan Chen looked at Mo Lian's sad side face full of self-blame in his heart, His Majesty is probably because of Dongfang Yinqi.

I blame myself for being weak, if not for this, I would be able to better share the worries for His Majesty and suppress Dongfang Yinqi for the court.

"Your Majesty." The sound of "Your Majesty" expressed how much helplessness and guilt, Shangguan Chen lowered his head, and others could not see the look in his eyes, "It's my fault. Not so recklessly."

Mo Lian took two steps back, looking at Shangguan Chen with gentle eyes, but his eyes were clear and clear: "Actually, I..." Mo Lian hesitated to speak, paused for a while, and finally gave a wry smile, "Let you follow I suffer."

Shangguanchen knew that Mo Lian was blaming himself, blaming himself for not being strong enough, blaming himself for not being able to guard the country left by the former emperor.He raised his head with a smile, and his expression was extremely sincere: "Your Majesty and the subject grew up together, so it's okay to talk about this."

After hearing this, Mo Lian's eyes sparkled, and he closed his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.He opened his eyes again, but the light in his eyes disappeared again, as if it had never existed.

Mo Lian turned around, and whispered to the group of people behind him: "You all step back first, I have something to say to the assistant minister."

The eunuchs and maids looked at each other, and after a brief eye contact, they said in unison: "Yes."

Everyone retreated, only Shangguan Chen and Mo Lian were left in the imperial garden, the moonlight fell faintly and shone on the two of them, inexplicably outlining a touch of silver on their bodies.

"This one is for you." Mo Lian stretched out a hand in front of Shangguan Chen, with a red brocade pouch in his palm.

Shangguan Chen was stunned, a little inexplicable: "Your Majesty, this is..."

"open to take a look."

Shangguanchen took the kit and opened it. Inside was a yellow amulet with Mo Lian's name clearly printed on it. Presumably, Mo Lian went to the temple to ask for it.Looking at the amulet, Shangguan Chen was a little moved, and his eyes swelled for a while: "Your Majesty, this..."

Mo Lian smiled gently, and Shangguan Chen's shadow was reflected in his eyes: "You have been in poor health, and I am very worried. I hope this amulet can protect you well."

"Your Majesty." Shangguan Chen silently held the kit tightly, feeling extremely emotional in his heart, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"There is no need to say thank you between you and me."

Putting the kit into his sleeve, Shangguan Chen remembered what bothered Mo Lian, and his expression tightened again: "Your Majesty, apart from changing officials, did Dongfang Yinqi force His Majesty to do other things?"

"Small things, don't worry."

Dongfang Yinqi forced His Majesty to change officials, is it a trivial matter?It's not that I just don't want to worry myself.

Shangguan Chen slowly clenched the hands in his sleeves, an undercurrent surged on his delicate face.

On the way back, Zhenzhen popped up restlessly again: "Master, it seems that this Molian treats you well?"

Shangguan Chen was very proud: "That's natural. I grew up with Mo Lian since I was a child. We are as close as brothers, and the friendship is deep."

Zhen Zhen whistled and turned around, and suddenly smiled teasingly: "Master, you know that's not what I mean."

Thinking about Zhenzhen wanting to talk nonsense again, Shangguan Chen raised his hand and interrupted Zhenzhen: "I don't care who you are referring to, get up, I'm going back home."

"Master, actually what I said was..."

"Shut up!"

A few days later, a torrential rain swept across the entire capital overnight, and the weather in late autumn became a bit chillier because of the heavy rain.

The heavy rain fell continuously, and it lasted for more than ten days in a row.

Early this morning, everyone heard that the Shangguan family's house had been washed away by the heavy rain, and the whole of Kyoto was in a state of panic, worrying whether the next house to be washed away would be their own.

In front of a house in Kyoto, a carriage was half submerged in the water, and there was a person standing in the water.

After a while, a person hurried out of the house. The person had long legs and a narrow waist, and he stepped onto the carriage.

The people standing in the water followed the carriage, the whip fell, and the carriage drove away.

The cool wind blew the curtains of the car, revealing a handsome and cold face.The man's expression was calm, but if you looked closely, you would find a little uneasiness in his eyes.

In Shangguan Mansion, a charcoal fire was lit in the room, and Shangguan Chen was sitting at the desk with a hand stove in his hand, reading a book very seriously.

Da da da, there was a sound of footsteps coming from far and near, the pace was hurried and somewhat messy.

"Dong dong", the door rang twice, and then Qin Gu's voice full of defense: "My lord, Xiangguo asks to see you."

Shangguan Chen couldn't help frowning, and there was some coldness in his delicate eyebrows: "I don't see you."

Dongfang Yinqi braved the heavy rain to find him, what good could he do?It's bad luck to make an appointment.

Qin Gu seemed to be very satisfied with his lord's answer, and the original voice full of vicissitudes suddenly mixed with a bit of joy: "Yes."

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the room returned to the silence just now.

Outside, the bean-sized raindrops kept beating on the eaves, and the orchid incense was burning inside the house, and every movement and stillness complemented each other.

Shangguanchen felt that at this moment his heart was extraordinarily peaceful.

After reading for a while, Shangguan Chen's eyes were a little tired, he stood up and thought about going out to watch the rain to relieve his fatigue.

Pushing open the door, the cold wind blew towards the face with raindrops, and the coolness fell on the face in an instant.

"Cough." The cold wind choked into his lungs, and Shangguan Chen couldn't help coughing.His pale fingertips tightly clasped the door of the house, and his face was slightly pale.Because of the rapid coughing, his thin back was slightly bent, and his long black hair was a little messy.

When people saw it, they couldn't help feeling pity.

One hand patted Shangguan Chen's back through the cloth, Shangguan Chen thought it was Qin Gu and folded it back.Not wanting to worry Qin Gu, Shangguan Chen hurriedly said: "Uncle Qin, cough, I, cough, I'm fine. Uncle Qin, you, cough, you go back."

After finally suppressing his cough, Shangguan Chen's face turned red.Her fair skin was dyed a layer of pink, the water in her eyes was slightly shining, and there was a bit of coquettishness in her brows and eyes for no reason.

But looking more closely, it was clearly just a handsome and handsome gentleman.

Shangguan Chen bowed his waist and turned back to his room, the door closed with a bang.He thought that Qin Gu was afraid that he would catch a cold, so he closed the door behind him when he left.He didn't care, and walked slowly towards the desk.

Just now, the cold wind blew a little bit, and Shangguan Chen couldn't stop coughing after walking a few steps.

This damn body!

Subconsciously wanting to grab something to support this fragile body, after groping for a long while, the palm of his hand warmed up and he took another hand.

This is clearly... not Qin Gu's hand...

Shangguan Chen turned around abruptly, surprised for a while by Shang Dongfang Yinqi's half-smiling phoenix eyes.After the surprise, indifference: "It's you?! Let go!!"

Not only did he fail to pull his hand away suddenly, but he threw himself forward due to the reaction force.With a muffled sound, Shangguan Chen didn't have time to exclaim and fell into Dongfang Yinqi's arms. Almost at the same time, a low and hoarse voice came from above his head: "Sir Shangguan has a unique habit of greeting people. Dare to say hello? People are throwing themselves into people's arms."

Shangguan Chen was burning with anger, and his face burned hotly.He raised his arms and tried to separate from Dongfang Yinqi, his words were full of alienation: "Thank you Xiangguo, you can relax now."

Both of them have first-class official positions, and Shangguan Chen always calls himself "me" in front of him, and he never falls behind.

Dongfang Yinqi hooked his lips casually, and hooked Shangguanchen's waist with one hand.He lowered his head slightly, and got closer to Shangguan Chen: "I don't know why, I feel quite comfortable when the assistant minister is leaning in my arms like this, why don't you lean on me for a while longer?"

"Presumptuous!" It was a great shame for a man of seven feet to be teased by a political opponent. Shangguan Chen raised his eyes and stared at Dongfang Yinqi with a cold expression on his face, "Xiangguo, do you want to let him go or not?!"

Dongfang Yinqi raised his eyebrows, and loosened his hands suddenly: "Okay, I'll let it go."

Shangguan Chen's body suddenly lost its support point and swayed to the sides. After a long while, he finally managed to stabilize his figure.He took a few breaths, and his face seemed to be paler: "I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Xiangguo to barge in without notification?"

Dongfang Yinqi seemed to have expected that Shangguan Chen would say this a long time ago, he raised his thick eyebrows, and a ostentatious smile rose on his lips: "You are right, it is indeed not very appropriate. I think Mr. Shangguan still has something to do, then Ben Xiangguo will not bother you, please leave."

Unexpectedly, Dongfang Yinqi would give in so easily, Shangguan Chen was stunned, not knowing how to respond, Dongfang Yinqi's actions were really unpredictable.

"you……"

Dongfang Yinqi straightened his sleeves as if nothing had happened, and walked out swaggeringly.The corners of the azure robe were heavily stained with water, and there was a big cut on the sleeve, and even the hair was wet.

Shangguan Chen: "..."

Where did he go?Why... such a embarrassed look?

There was a chill on his chest, and Shangguan Chen lowered his head to look at it, only to find that he was also wet a lot. Did this water stain come from Dongfang Yinqi's body?

"Dong dong" was another knock on the door, and Qin Gu stood outside the door with a bit of joy in his voice: "My lord, Young Master Yue is here."

Shangguan Chen's eyes lit up: "Come in and say."

Qin Gu came in and closed the door, and helped Shangguan Chen to sit down again, but he couldn't help frowning when he glanced at the wetness on his chest: "Did your lord go out to get in the rain again?"

"My lord's body, you know it yourself. You can't catch a cold. Why don't you listen to me?" Qin Gu took a fox fur and put it on Shangguan Chen while rambling.

Shangguan Chen knew that if he didn't stop Qin Gu in time, this nagging would probably last at least half a stick of incense.

He pulled the fox fur, tightened it up a bit, and finally felt warmer, and said: "Understood, understood. Uncle Qin, what do you want from me?"

After Shangguan Chen reminded him, Qin Gu remembered the serious matter: "Master Yue said he was worried about your body, so he passed by Kyoto to see you while he was away on a business trip."

"En." Yueliang hasn't seen him for many years, and it's a good meeting this time.His eyes turned and he remembered the matter of Dongfang Yinqi just now, and Shangguan Chen's face darkened a little, "Uncle Qin, you let Dongfang Yinqi in?"

Qin Gu frowned without knowing it: "My lord, I let him go just now, or I personally watched the carriage he got into. Why, he came back again?"

In this case, Dongfang Yinqi turned back again and sneaked in while everyone was unprepared?

"But it's strange, Xiangguo saw me today and asked why your house is still there?" Qin Gu thought for a while, and then said, "You really are a weird person."

Shangguan Chen didn't care about those things, got up and walked out: "Forget it, let's go, go and see Yue Liang."

Seeing that Shangguan Chen had already walked out, Qin Gu hurriedly took an umbrella to follow him: "My lord, wait, be careful of catching a cold."

When we arrived at the front hall, a young man was crossing his legs, drinking tea, eating cakes and humming a little tune, his young face was full of heroism.

The man was dressed very casually, the style of the clothes was very simple, although there were no outstanding decorations on them, they were made of high-quality cloud cotton forging.

Seeing Yueliang's enjoyment, Shangguan Chen couldn't help raising the corners of his lips: "Why did the majestic young master of Fengyue Villa come to my place when you have time?"

Yue Liang jumped up from the chair with a youthful look on his face. He gave Shangguan Chen a funny look: "Shangguan Chen, don't play bureaucratic talk with me!" With a big hand on Shangguan Chen's shoulder, Yue Liang Laughing, "Haha! We haven't seen each other for a long time!"

Yueliang, the young owner of Fengyue Villa, Shangguanchen's best friend when he was young.

When they were young, the two liked to play together, Yueliang liked to dance with swords, and Shangguanchen liked to read and practice calligraphy.

The two of them, one literary and one military, one still and one moving, quite in tune.

Later, when he grew up, Shangguan Chen went to Beijing with his father, and the two of them rarely saw each other after that.

Yueliang practiced martial arts since childhood, and came out of Fengyue Mountain Villa. He has a good body and even more extraordinary skills.Shangguanchen really couldn't stand the action of putting his shoulders on Yueliang so carelessly, his thin shoulders swayed.Moon realized something was wrong, and hurriedly helped Shangguan Chen to sit up: "Sit down first and then we'll talk."

Qin Gu poured a cup of tea and handed it over. Shangguan Chen took a sip of the tea and calmed down. Qin Gu's expression in the corner of his eyes finally eased a little when he saw that he was fine.

"Why is your body still so weak?" Yue Liang frowned, her face full of worry.

Shangguan Chen shook his head indifferently: "It's not like you don't know that I have been weak since I was a child. Don't worry, I'm fine."

"I came to the house to see you because I was worried about your body. Your body is really tormenting, so you have to be more careful in the future." Yueliang's forehead wrinkled deeply.

Shangguan Chen has always been considerate, and most of the time he bears the pain and tiredness by himself, just because he is afraid that speaking out will cause trouble to the people around him.

Yue Liang patted Shangguan Chen on the back half reproachfully and half distressed: "Just say it's hard, don't hold on."

Shangguan Chen took a sip of the tea cup with a calm expression, as if the sick person was not him but someone else.He nodded lightly, with a gratified smile on his lips: "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Knowing Shangguan Chen's temperament, even if he was really uncomfortable at the moment, he wouldn't say anything, and Yue Liang didn't force him to simply change the subject: "I heard that Dongfang Yinqi's bad behavior has forced His Majesty again recently, how is it? Is the situation serious? "

"It's always been like this, so why not say it's serious or not?" Shangguan Chen's face darkened, and he held the edge of the table with his thin white fingers, "No matter what, I will stay by His Majesty's side and guard this country for him."

Yueliang grew up with Shangguanchen since he was a child, and he knew his temperament, he always followed his word and did what he said.

"I have to rush back to prepare for Dad's birthday banquet, so you have to take good care of yourself." Yue Liang frowned deeply, her eyes flickering.

Shangguanchen smiled weakly: "The young master of Fengyue Villa has always done things neatly, why is he so hesitant today?"

Yue Liang scratched her head in embarrassment, and then suddenly put on a stern look: "Shangguan Chen, I, Yue Liang, don't sloppily do things, don't underestimate me!"

Knowing that his stern look was deliberately pretended for himself to see, Shangguan Chen couldn't help but be amused by Yueliang's behavior even though he didn't puncture it. Shangguanchen raised his arm and flicked on Yueliang's head: "Got it, Yueliang is the best."

Yue Liang turned her head aside awkwardly: "They are all about the same age, so don't always treat me like a child."

Although he was only one year older than Yue Liang, in Shangguan Chen's heart he always regarded Yue Liang as his own younger brother, so he still looked at Yue Liang with a smile: "Got it."

"Master, it's time to leave." The attendants of Fengyue Villa reminded Yueliang from the side.

Yue Liangying raised his brows in a spirited manner, obviously he was a little impatient, but because of the overall situation, he nodded in response: "Shangguan Chen, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

"Ah."

Yue Liang's figure disappeared around the corner, Shangguan Chen smiled and talked to Qin Gu: "Yue Liang, you really are still a child at heart, you can write all your thoughts on your face."

Qin Gu also had a kind smile on his face: "No one knows, Young Master Yue is strictly forbidden and rules are strict, such a child's heart is probably only in front of adults."

Shangguan Chen picked up the teacup, and the warmth spread from his fingertips for a while.His eyes were warm, immersed in the hazy evening, a little unreal: "Really?"

At the corner, a delicate and heroic face secretly peeked in Shangguan Chen's direction, seeing that Shangguan Chen's complexion was okay, Yue Liang felt relieved, turned and left.

Later, a servant in the mansion came to report that a pot of peonies had been broken by the west wall for some reason.A piece of cloth was hanging from the broken china, and the servant guessed it must have been the work of some daring thief.

A group of servants searched the Shangguan's mansion inside and out, but found no suspicious person, and there was nothing missing in the mansion, so Shangguan Chen sent everyone to disperse.

Lowering his head, Shangguan Chen looked at the azure blue cloth in his hand, a little lost in thought.

He remembered that Dongfang Yinqi was also wearing a blue robe today.

Qin Gu pushed the door open and came in: "My lord, it's time to take a bath and change clothes."

His thoughts were interrupted by Qin Gu, Shangguanchen raised his head, and put the corner of the azure blue clothes into his sleeves: "Got it."

The steam above the Baiyu Pond is steaming, and the medicinal herbs in it smell very strong.

Qin Gu helped Shangguan Chen into the Baiyu Pond, and tied his hair high with a red jade hairpin: "My lord, Lord Shangguan's mansion collapsed due to the heavy rain. Do you want to go and express your condolences?"

Shangguan Chen closed his eyes and spoke very softly, his body was really tired easily: "You mean Shangguan Luo's mansion?"

"Exactly."

"Well, make arrangements to go to the Shangguan tomorrow."

"Yes."

After helping Shangguan Chen tie up his hair, Qin Gu backed out, and only when he heard the sound of the door closing did Shangguan Chen begin to undress slowly.

From childhood to adulthood, even though Shangguanchen was weak and inconvenient to move around, he never liked others to wait for him to bathe, and he didn't like to undress him even more. He felt comfortable doing this kind of thing by himself.

The water is warm, and it is very comfortable for the whole person to soak in it.

The slender fingers were raised slightly, and the water flowed through the fingertips, forming small splashes on the chest.

After soaking for a while, Shangguan Chen's nerves relaxed a lot, and his body felt a little stronger.He grabbed the edge of the Baiyu Pond and wanted to get up, but the soles of his feet slipped suddenly and he fell back immediately, making a lot of noise with a plop.

"My lord, are you alright?" Qin Gu was waiting outside the room. He was a little scared when he heard this movement. Your lord is weak at first, and if you touch something, you will be bedridden again. "My lord, do you want me to go in and serve?"

Shangguanchen struggled and finally exposed his head in the Baiyu Pond. When the pool water poured into his mouth, he coughed uncontrollably. His fair skin was quickly covered with a layer of pink, and his thin shoulders were trembling thinly. Feeling distressed: "cough cough cough...cough cough..."

"grown ups?!"

"What's wrong?" Another gentle voice sounded.

"Ah!" Shangguan Chen slipped his hand again and fell to the bottom of the pool.

This shout was not loud, but people outside could hear it clearly.Someone pushed the door open and entered, and Shangguan Chen froze in the barrel.
