sick!Seedlings?

The next day, a piece of news spread like wildfire and shocked the whole of Kyoto.

The Prime Minister of Dayuan Kingdom, Dongfang Yinqi, did not die.

Not only did he not die, but he also became a great hero of the Great Yuan Kingdom.

In the palace, outside the royal study, there is a person kneeling.

The man looked at his approaching age without any doubts, a pair of sword eyebrows slanted into his temples, taking advantage of his calm eyes to show his majesty even more.

With a weather-beaten face and a neat bun, he looks like a general who has been stationed on the frontier for many years.

After a while, the door of the imperial study room opened slowly, and Yun Sheng walked out from inside.Looking past the person in front of him, he unconsciously showed a bit of respect: "General Wen, Your Majesty let you in."

Wen Gongzhuo got up quickly from the ground, he nodded slightly at Yunsheng, and walked into the imperial study.

Hearing the gradual sound of footsteps, Mo Lian's warm eyes slowly tightened.

"Your Majesty, Chen Te is here to apologize!" Wen Gongzhuo knelt on the ground with a "plop" without any hesitation on his face, and he didn't even wrinkle his eyebrows when there was a muffled sound.

Mo Lian was unmoved, and said in a cold voice: "Wen Gongzhuo, you are so courageous! You actually said Dongfang Yinqi is a great hero in front of all the people?!"

Wen Gongzhuo's voice was steady and his expression was calm: "Your Majesty, that day Xiaoyuan Kingdom gathered half of the country's troops to try to sneak attack, and the minister led all the soldiers to fight hard, but they retreated step by step due to the huge difference in numbers. I thought, this battle The minister will fail His Majesty's instructions in a complete defeat, but unexpectedly, the soldiers sent by Xiangguo arrived in time to severely injure Xiaoyuan Kingdom to help the minister out of trouble."

"Why didn't you send a letter to inform me of Xiaoyuan Kingdom's sneak attack?"

"Your Majesty. The frontier is thousands of miles away from the capital. If Fei Shu returns to the court, I must have died for the country long ago."

Mo Lian still had a cold face.

"I thought, Xiangguo sent troops back to the capital without authorization this time, and his fate would be lost, so he hurried back."

Hearing this, the expression on Mo Lian's face did not soften, and seemed to be a little colder: "So, you pleaded for him? Wen Gongzhuo, do you know that Dongfang Yinqi is a courtier, and he belongs to our Dayuan Kingdom? Black sheep?!"

"Your Majesty." Wen Gongzhuo slammed his head on the ground, "It is true that Xiangguo's political situation in the court has been hateful for many years, but in terms of facts, Your Majesty, if it is not for Xiangguo this time, I am afraid that I will not be able to keep the frontiers safe, let alone my abyss." Thousands of people in the country." Wen Gongzhuo raised his head slowly, his forehead was red and swollen, "Your Majesty, although Xiangguo is not a good minister, he is not useless either. He is willing to risk beheading for the sake of the peace of Dayuan Kingdom It is righteousness to send troops without authorization."

"Okay!" Mo Lian paced back and forth in front of Wen Gongzhuo several times, and finally stopped slowly, "Since you have explained the reason why Dongfang Yinqi sent troops without authorization in front of all the people, if I insist on arresting him Beheading, I'm afraid it will be difficult to convince the public. In your opinion, what should we do?"

Wen Gongzhuo thought about it for a while, and made up his mind: "Your Majesty, why don't you punish the Prime Minister for one year and confine the family for a month as a warning. In this way, it will not only demonstrate your majesty's benevolence and generosity, but also won't make you cold." won the hearts of the people."

Mo Lian silently tightened his hands in his sleeves, and after a long silence, he still didn't speak, which was regarded as a tacit consent.

Three or nine days of midwinter, the wind is bitter and the air is dry and cold.

Shangguan Chen sat in the room, staring at the hot tea on the table in a daze.

Now, as long as he closes his eyes, his mind will be filled with the image of Dongfang Yinqi's blood splattered on the execution ground.

Bright red blood flowed out along his pale neck in a curved stream, red and white intertwined, kind of indescribably weird and tragic.

He remembered that at that time, the corners of Dongfang Yinqi's mouth were curled up.

With the knife up to his neck, he can still laugh, it's amazing...

Incredible.

Shangguan Chen lowered his head and looked at the wooden box in his hand, his eyes flickering like a boat floating in the waves.

Dongfang Yinqi, did you do it on purpose?

"My lord." Qin Gu stood outside the room and knocked on the door, "Xiangguo please see me."

The light in Shangguan Chen's eyes suddenly lit up, and there was a surge of anticipation in his heart.Shangguan Chen probably didn't even realize it himself. Before he could utter a word, he subconsciously stood up with a pair of legs.

He was so injured, he still went out?

"Take Xiangguo to the front hall, I'll be there later."

Shangguan Chen spoke quickly, and Qin Gu couldn't help frowning.He stood there, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the next moment, Qin Gu was a little confused, and finally said nothing.

Also, what can he say.

Last year, San'er moved a few plum trees from somewhere and planted them outside the front hall.Today, the plum trees are full of bright red plum blossoms.

Dongfang Yinqi didn't wait in the front hall, it was cold and windy outside, so he stood under the plum tree.

The plum blossoms are bright red, and the plum branches are ostentatious.There is still some residual snow on the branches, and the pure white snow sets off the red flowers, the colors are bright and eye-catching.Dongfang Yinqi is hidden in a red and white scroll, with a face like jade.

"It's freezing cold, Xiangguo doesn't go to the front hall and wait, why is he standing outside?"

Dongfang Yinqi turned his head sideways when he heard the sound, and raised his eyebrows unusually gently amidst the whining of the wind, and smiled faintly at Shangguanchen.

That smile was very light, falling in Shangguan Chen's eyes like a green lotus in green water, extremely beautiful.

Shangguan Chen couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and realized that he had lost his bearing, and quickly came back to his senses: "Xiang Guofang narrowly escaped death, why did he come to me if he didn't stay in the mansion to improve his self-cultivation?"

Dongfang Yinqi came out from under the cover of the plum branches, with a deep smile in his eyes, and a sickly paleness at the corner of his mouth: "Because I escaped from death, I want to ask some questions in person."

Seemingly guessing what Dongfang Yinqi would ask, Shangguanchen didn't intend to avoid it: "If you have anything to say, Xiangguo just speak up."

Dongfang Yinqi seemed to have inadvertently reached out and touched the back of his neck, his thick black eyebrows frowned slightly.Looking at his hand, Shangguan Chen's eyes tightened.

At the back of the neck, a faint red seeped through the gauze.That patch of red slowly smudged, like red plums in the snow, a bit eye-catching.

Shangguan Chen's heart ached, so he turned his eyes away.

After a while, Dongfang Yinqi withdrew his hand and looked at Shangguan Chen quietly: "You called General Wen?"

Shangguan Chen's face remained calm, after a long time, the corner of his lips finally curled up, and he said softly: "Yes."

Dongfang Yinqi let out a low laugh, and he took a few steps forward: "When I beheaded that day, you couldn't resist going to the execution ground by yourself in a carriage?"

There were small waves in his calm eyes, Shangguan Chen turned his head to look at the plum blossom in front of him, and nodded for a moment: "Yes."

"Haha!" Dongfang Yinqi seemed to have heard something extremely funny, he raised his head and laughed heartily, "Shangguanchen, you will not let me go after all."

Shangguan Chen couldn't hold back the corners of his eyes twitching, and the roots of his ears turned red.He tried to steady his mind.After a long while, I finally calmed down my heart: "Xiangguo, do you still remember what I said to you in the prison of the Ministry of Justice that day?"

Dongfang Yinqi glanced at Shangguan Chen in a good mood, and spoke very slowly: "I remember. You said, you will save me. But from now on, you and I will owe nothing to each other. Goodbye, we are just political enemies."

What he said was very calm, without any emotion, Shangguan Chen couldn't guess what he was thinking: "So, from now on, Xiangguo and I are just political enemies, nothing else."

"Really?" Dongfang Yinqi was unmoved, his voice was so light that he seemed to be talking about other people's affairs.He slightly raised the corners of his eyebrows, as if disapproving, "But, I also said that I won't let you save me."

Walking slowly around Shangguan Chen, Dongfang Yinqi raised his head and looked at Shangguan Chen with a smile in his eyes: "I don't appreciate it if you save me without my permission."

"You..." Dongfang Yinqi is probably the only person who can easily turn things upside down like this.Shangguan Chen was a little annoyed, "If I didn't save you, I'm afraid you would have become a ghost by now. If you can't save yourself and I saved you, it's considered what I said."

"Can't save myself?" Dongfang Yinqi snorted and laughed, "Shangguanchen, how do you know that I can't save myself?"

Shangguan Chen looked over sharply: "Could it be that Xiangguo can save himself?"

"Naturally." Dongfang Yinqi smiled flamboyantly, "It's true that I sent about [-]% of the troops to the frontier that day, but [-]% of the troops were quietly recalled by me shortly after departure, and were lurking around the capital. In this way, I still have [-]% of the troops left in my hand, which is much more than the emperor's. If the emperor really wants to take my life, I will have a good chance of winning if I have to attack inside and outside at the last moment."

Shangguan Chen snorted: "Even if you leave enough troops to compete with His Majesty, you forgot that Your Majesty still has the trump card of Fengyue Villa."

"Really?" Dongfang Yinqi said unhurriedly, as if he was talking about something so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary, "Then why do you think the old owner of Fengyue Villa suddenly became seriously ill?"

Shangguan Chen was stunned: "You mean..."

"That's right. I specially ordered someone to prescribe medicine to the old owner, and the effect of the medicine can last for about a month." Dongfang Yinqi smiled complacently, "The young owner of Yueliang is inexperienced in combat, so even if he brings Fengyue The people from the villa came to help the emperor, and they may not be able to get benefits from me. After a month, the old owner's condition improved, and the matter has come to an end."

Dongfang Yinqi spoke unhurriedly, but Shangguan Chen's face became more and more ugly: "Dongfang Yinqi, you actually..." After thinking about it, Shangguanchen felt that this matter was very unbelievable, "You think you are lying Will I believe it?"

The smile on Dongfang Yin's face grew bigger: "If you don't believe me, you can send someone to check around the capital. Right now, just in case things change, the [-]% of the troops are still waiting outside the city. "Then he added kindly, "Oh, that's right. The medicine given to the old owner was Tengyu San from the Western Regions. After taking this medicine, it seemed that he was seriously ill, but in fact he would go away on his own in about a month. get well."

What he said was very firm, and Shangguan Chen began to waver: "Since Xiangguo is so supernatural, why did he miscalculate and hurt himself?" Shangguanchen felt that this was a suspicious point, "If Xiangguo has died by the time the soldiers rush into the city, then these arrangements What's the point?"

Dongfang Yinqi stretched out his hand and flicked Shangguan Chen's head, the gesture was intimate and naturally unaffected: "Fool, I did it on purpose."

Dissatisfied with Dongfang Yinqi's actions towards him, Shangguanchen turned his head to the side: "On purpose? Don't you want to deceive me?"

Dongfang Yinqi didn't care about Shangguan Chen's words, he withdrew his hand, with a smile on his face: "If that's not the case, why do you think the executioner didn't cut off my head all at once, but only chopped off the upper layer of flesh?" ?”

Executioner, the most powerful thing is the arm.A knife down, the head will fall to the ground.

That's right, if it wasn't arranged in advance, how could there be any reason why he couldn't be killed by a knife?

Shangguan Chen's eyes sank, but no real emotion could be seen in his eyes: "Then why did Xiangguo hurt himself on purpose?"

Dongfang Yinqi took a step forward, the cold wind blew and lifted up a few dead leaves on the ground, his eyes suddenly became a little confused: "Why? Shangguanchen, I thought you knew."

Clenching his hands tighter and tighter in his sleeves, Shangguan Chen met Shang Dongfang Yinqi's eyes generously without smiling: "Could it be that Xiangguo wants to say it's because of me?"

"That's right, it's because of you." Dongfang Yinqi stretched out his hand to lift Shangguan Chen's chin, his eyes were filled with the brilliance of early spring, which was quite different from his usual expression, "Shangguan Chen, do you still remember what I said at the execution ground that day? what?"

Shangguan Chen naturally remembered what he said at that time, but he didn't want to say it.

Dongfang Yinqi looked at Shangguan Chen without speaking or getting annoyed. He rubbed his hand on Shangguan Chen's chin for a long time, and finally said: "My heart moves without reason, and love arises without reason. If it's not for no reason, I will promise Sansheng. This is what I said at the time words." Dongfang Yinqi suddenly exerted force on his hand, forcing Shangguanchen to look directly into his eyes.There was a smile in his eyes, with a deep look, "Since I survived, this sentence seems to have to be changed."

He smiled, with a trace of success on his lips: "There is no reason to move your heart, and there is no reason to arouse your love. Now that you have a destiny, why not let me promise you for a lifetime?"

Dongfang Yinqi said this sincerely, domineeringly, and fearlessly.

At that moment, Shangguan Chen actually felt that his heart was floating.

In the afternoon, the spies who went out of the city to investigate came back and reported that Dongfang Yinqi's soldiers were indeed waiting outside the capital.

Two days later, Shangguanchen received a letter from Feige from Yueliang.It is said that the old owner's illness is extremely strange, he seems to be terminally ill but still has a breath to hang on, I don't know what to do?

Shangguanchen wrote a letter to Yueliang, explaining the envoy of Fuji Yusan to Yueliang in detail, so as to comfort him as a filial son.

San'er sent the letter away, and Shangguanchen sat on the chair for a long time unable to regain his senses.

Dongfang Yinqi really arranged everything in advance.He was willing to suffer that knife, just to make himself care more about him.

But the sword has no eyes, so he is not afraid that the executioner will be inattentive and can't hold back his hand to chop off his head?

Has he never thought about this problem, or has thought about it a long time ago, but still decided to do it.

Is he...so stupid...

In the past half a month, two major events have occurred in Kyoto.

First, the emperor of Dayuan Kingdom is finally getting married.The second thing is that Fengyue Villa won the championship again in the general election of the villa.

On this day, after the morning court, Shangguan Chen was called to the Imperial Garden by Mo Lian.

There is still ice in the pool, because the weather is getting warmer, most of the ice in the pool has melted, and there are faint green grass sprouts coming out of the pool.

Mo Lian stood by the pool, looking into the distance with complex and tangled eyes.

Shangguan Chen stopped not far behind him, and said respectfully, "See Your Majesty".

The light in Mo Lian's eyes became even darker, he turned his head, and his eyes fell on Shangguan Chen's face.The two lips closed and then parted, as if there was something unspeakable.

Yun Sheng is very good at reading eyes, seeing what Mo Lian said, he stepped forward and whispered in front of Mo Lian: "Since Your Majesty has something to say to the assistant minister, then this servant will take the rest of the people and wait to retreat." gone."

Mo Lian nodded lightly, then looked up at Shang Guanchen again, and said that what he said was about the court affairs: "How is the matter of Xie Kun, the prefect of Henan Province, handled?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, I have dismissed Xie Kun as an official for neglecting political affairs. The new prefect of Henan is Shangguan Luo's cousin Shangguan Zhun."

"Very good." After listening to Shangguan Chen's words, Mo Lian's expression did not relax much. He continued to look at Shangguan Chen, "Although it is not easy to touch Shao Nian and the others for the time being, dealing with Xie Kun can be regarded as giving Dongfang Yinqi and others a treat." Warning."

Shangguan Chen said politely: "Your Majesty is absolutely right."

"Zian."

After hearing Mo Lian's words, Shangguan Chen's heart skipped a beat, but there was no fluctuation on his face.

Mo Lian took a few steps forward, and Shangguan Chen subconsciously took a few steps back.Mo Lian narrowed his eyes and stopped walking.He was silent for a while, before he spoke: "Zian, don't mind what happened last time."

Shangguan Chen naturally knew what Mo Lian was referring to, and a faint smile slowly appeared on his lips: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know that Your Majesty was just joking with me, so I didn't take it to heart."

A look of pain crawled up the corner of his eyes, and Mo Lian forcibly suppressed it, and with difficulty pulled out a mild smile: "That's good."

"Your Majesty, Qin Tianjian has already calculated the date. The sixth day of next month is a good day, and His Majesty's wedding will be held on that day."

Mo Lian pursed his lips and looked at Shangguan Chen, his eyes fluctuated several times: "Since Qin Tianjian said that the sixth day of next month is a good day, then the sixth day of next month shall be."

Shangguan Chen breathed a sigh of relief, and he happily raised his head to meet Shang Molian's eyes: "Okay. If there is nothing else, I will leave first."

"Ah."

Shangguan Chen raised his foot and turned around, and he took a step forward. Mo Lian's voice came from behind: "Zian, do you still count what you said?"

Shangguan Chen turned back in doubt: "What did His Majesty say?"

Mo Lian seemed a little disappointed, he looked at Shangguan Chen reluctantly, hoping that he could remember by himself.Unfortunately, after a long time, Shangguan Chen still had a puzzled expression on his face.Mo Lian took a deep breath, and a smile appeared on his face again: "You said, you will always be by my side, guarding me, protecting me. Do these words still count?"

In the second half of the sentence, the voice at the end of the sentence became a little cautious, and he stared closely at Shangguan Chen's lips, as if he was afraid that the person in front of him would say something that would be unacceptable to him.

"Naturally counts." Shangguan Chen raised a clear smile, and then repeated, "I will stay by Your Majesty's side and always protect Your Majesty."

Mo Lian hesitated and added: "If I do something that you don't agree with in the future, will you still be like this?"

Shangguan Chen smiled, and his warm smile melted into the wind, forming a circle of beautiful colors: "Your Majesty has His Majesty's reasons for doing things. I believe that no matter what decisions His Majesty makes, it is for the sake of the Great Yuan Kingdom. Therefore, I also Will stand by His Majesty's side like this and help His Majesty guard this great river and mountain."

The two eyes met in the air, and there were smiles inside.

On the way back to the mansion, Shangguanchen deliberately asked the driver to take a detour, and subconsciously stopped the driver when he passed by the Prime Minister's mansion.

The coachman didn't understand why his lord would take a detour when he returned home, and he didn't understand why his lord ordered him to park the carriage outside the prime minister's mansion.He looked back in doubt, and only saw Shangguan Chen's hand lifting the curtain.

That hand gripped a little tightly, as if trying to suppress something.

After a long time, a deep sigh floated out from the carriage: "Let's go."

The coachman wrinkled his nose because he didn't know, and drove away in the carriage.

On the sixth day of the lunar new year, the emperor got married, and it was also the day when Dongfang Yinqi lifted his confinement.

On a March day, facing the sun, it exudes the unique brightness of early spring.

The steps leading to Chengde Hall were covered with bright red blankets, and on both sides of the blankets, civil and military officials stood neatly in two rows in court uniforms.

Mo Lian stood at the top of the steps in a bright red wedding dress. A noble and majestic long dragon was embroidered on the back of the wedding dress, and there were elegant cloud patterns on the skirt, all embroidered with gold thread.Although he just stood quietly, he still couldn't hide the kingly aura unique to the emperor.

However, there was not much joy on the face.

Shangguan Chen stood at the first place on the left, wearing a dark blue court dress neatly on his body, he was dignified and gentle, and his eyes were full of joy.

Sensing that someone was looking at him, Shangguanchen couldn't help turning his head to the right.

After a lapse of one month, Shangguan Chen saw Dongfang Yinqi again.

He was wearing a dark purple court dress, his long black hair was neatly tied up with a crown, and his eyebrows were handsome.At this moment, Dongfang Yinqi looked at Shangguanchen with a smile.

Shangguan Chen smiled back at him faintly, and then looked away very calmly, his heart beating a little fast.

Since when did he start to care so much about Dongfang Yinqi's eyes?

Thinking about it carefully, it probably started after he was injured in the execution ground.

Su Ruqing got off the ceremony, and walked on the red carpet dignifiedly in the same bright red phoenix robe.Her steps are steady, her face is clear and beautiful, even with heavy wedding makeup, she is not half gaudy, and she has the demeanor of the mother of a country.

Slowly walking past the courtiers, she walked up the stairs with graceful movements and a bright smile on her face from beginning to end.

"Master." Zhenzhen jumped out suddenly, a little abruptly.

Shangguan Chen took a serious look: "What's the matter?"

Zhenzhen's row of white teeth is dazzling: "Congratulations, master, for getting a pack of stamina recovery granules."

It contributed to the big marriage between Mo and Su Ruqing, which stabilized the hearts of the people of Da Yuan Nation, so he was rewarded.

Shangguan Chen pouted, very displeased: "Just one bag?"

Zhen Zhen stared: "Master, this potion is amazing, it's pretty good to get a pack."

"Really." Shangguan Chen gritted his teeth, "Did you secretly hold it for me?"

"How could it be?!" Zhenzhen stepped back, covering her head, "Master, don't wrong me."

After staring at Zhenzhen for a long time, Shangguan Chen waved his hand when he found that his face remained unchanged, "Forget it, forget it, I will trust you this time. I am busy here, you step back first."

"Come on!" Zhenzhen disappeared in an instant.

On the other side of the red carpet, Su Ruqing finally walked up to Mo Lian.Mo Lian stretched out a hand forward, Su Ruqing smiled slightly, and put his hand on Mo Lian's palm.

All the ministers knelt down one after another, and their voices were loud and loud: "Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live. Empress, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old."

Mo Lian made a gesture to get everyone to stand up, then glanced over everyone, and said in a calm voice, "Today is my wedding day, and it is a great joy for my Dayuan Kingdom. Taking advantage of this auspicious day, I have something to announce."

Everyone below gave each other winks, looking at Molian curiously.

Shangguan Chen wondered, what is the big deal to talk about?

Dongfang Yinqi curled his lips calmly, without any other superfluous expressions.

Mo Lian's gaze skipped over Shangguan Chen, with a slight hesitation on his face.He thought for a while, then looked at the ministers again: "I have decided to put aside the past grievances with the Xiaoyuan Kingdom, and marry the eldest princess of the Xiaoyuan Kingdom as my concubine."
