Standing up to the west wind and geese not returning

"Master Yan, what's the matter with you?" The guard had just pushed aside the flowers and came to Yan Ci.

I saw Yan Ci clutching his chest.There was sweat on his forehead, and there was no blood on his beautiful face.

Yan Ci bit his lower lip tightly and did not make a sound.But his eyes looked over the tall trees to see the person covered by the flower tree.

The guard called that Mr. Yan.Both Du Zijin and Ah Jiu heard it clearly.At this moment, the two are only a few steps away, but it seems to be separated by thousands of rivers and mountains.There were tears in Yan Ci's eyes, but he raised his face slightly, unwilling to let the tears flow out.

Finally, the man still appeared in front of his eyes, and Du Zijin walked out from behind the flowers.

The expression on his face was the same as before.He walked up to Yan Ci and slowly squatted down. Du Zijin stretched out his hand, slowly wanting to touch Yan Ci's cheek.

"I..." Du Zijin opened his mouth and only uttered one word.Then he was silent again.

Yan Ci smiled, but tears still fell from his eyes. Yan Ci clutched his heart tightly, stood up with all his strength, and walked out without saying a word.

The moment he stood up, his vision went dark, and Yan Ci instinctively reached out to grab something.The bushes on one side are overgrown, and the fallen thorns are overgrown on the dead branches.If I grab it, I'm afraid I won't be able to write for half a month.

"Be careful!" Ah Jiu and the guard said at the same time. Yan Ci felt that Du Zijin pulled him back in a flash. Yan Ci stabilized his mind and stood up for a long time. own hands.He said coldly, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Du Zijin was taken aback for a moment, then let go of his hand, only looking at Yan Ci in silence.Ah Jiu led the guard back to the side, and there were only two people facing each other in silence.

Yan Ci fumbled in his bosom, and took out an exquisite brocade bag embroidered with the pattern of Ruyi Tuanrong. Yan Ci didn't even look at it, and as soon as he let go, the brocade bag fell to the ground.In the garden, the ground was soft, and the kit was stained with soil in a blink of an eye.Embarrassed.

Yan Ci walked forward without saying a word, his steps floated a little but never stopped. Ah Jiu returned after seeing the situation, cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, do you need to bring Master Yan back?"

Du Zijin bowed and picked up the brocade bag. The brocade like yellow stone jade, dense and meticulous stitches, and first-class embroidery workmanship are good embroidery products. Du Zijin opened the brocade bag, revealing the carved Made a jade carving of a full moon night.

Du Zijin sighed and said, "Just let someone follow you secretly. I'm afraid he won't be able to reach your house. In addition, you tell Uncle Zhong to make some preparations for Yan Ci's diet. Give him the antidote in two days." , let him figure out a way."

"Yes." Ah Jiu took the order and left.Standing under the bright sun rising in April while holding the jade carving in his hand, Du Zijin felt a throbbing headache between his brows.

Yan Ci stumbled back all the way, and as soon as he entered the gate, he was greeted by Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong saw Yan Ci's face was pale, as if there were still tears on his face, and he couldn't help saying, "What's wrong, sir? But What did you encounter? Is there any discomfort on your body?"

Yan Ci just walked in silently, and before entering the house, Fang said, "Someone wants to disturb me. If someone comes, just say I'm not here."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the room and closed the door, even though Uncle Zhong shouted outside, he ignored him.

Yan Ci lay on the bed clutching his chest, momentarily awake, momentarily blurred, the tears didn't seem to be his own, turned over on his side, and flowed down by himself.

Yan Ci vaguely seemed to have a dream. In the dream, there were thousands of peach blossoms and trees. The man took a sharp long sword, stood in the rain of flowers, and smiled at himself, "Candied haws are delicious?"

Before Yan Ci could answer, the man lifted Jianfei up and said, "Since you ate my candied haws, give me your heart."

After speaking, he swung his sword towards Yan Ci's heart. Yan Ci was terrified, but he struggled and couldn't move.He could only beg for mercy, "Don't kill me. Don't kill me. Don't..."

Watching Du Zijin gently put the twisted veil on Yan Ci's forehead, looking at Zhong Bo standing by the bedside, he said, "When the medicine is cooked, I'll pour him down to drink it. If it's three hours later, I still wake up." If you have a fever, go to Doctor Liu of the Imperial Hospital. Also, don’t tell him I’ve been here.”

"Yes. I understand." Uncle Zhong bowed and saluted.With a cautious and respectful attitude, "Your Highness, please rest assured."

Du Zijin grinned wryly, "So what if you don't feel relieved. This is the end of the matter. I don't want to feel relieved, I'm afraid I'm going to give up."

In Yan Ci's dream, he felt a cool wind suddenly blowing up, and the hot feeling subsided a little, and the man turned and left after missing a hit.

Yan Ci's shock had just settled, he just stood where he was, watching the red fall like rain, the valley was empty, and the faint fragrance of ambergris remained.

When Yan Ci woke up again, it was already the morning of the second day, and Uncle Zhong had prepared ginseng soup and cakes.

I lost my appetite for words and didn't want to eat. I tried Yan Ci's forehead faithfully and confirmed that it was no longer hot. Then I persuaded, "Master. What a big deal, you can take your own body to get angry. What about Master An, Miss Ning, brother If you are not by my side, if you collapse, who will take care of you? You should eat a piece of cake and drink ginseng soup. If you don’t ask for leave, you still have to go to court.”

Yan Ci only felt like a big dream, his mind was clear and confused for a while, and he was hysterical for a long time after hearing Uncle Zhong's persuasion. I ate a few bites.Only then did Zhong Bo feel relieved.He helped pack up and sent them to the carriage.

When the courtiers went to court, they had to wait outside the Zhengyang Gate to be summoned. Before it was time to enter the palace, all the courtiers gathered in twos and threes, talking and laughing with each other.

Because carriages were prohibited, Yan Ci got out of the carriage and walked slowly towards Zhengyang Gate by himself. His already slender frame was changed into court clothes at this moment, making him even thinner.Yan Ci's official hat with a purple and spring brim was buttoned on his head, and Yan Ci could barely lift his head under the pressure.

Suddenly, the crowd erupted into a heated discussion, and people began to walk in one direction one after another, only to see a carriage slowly approaching.Carved dragon in purple gold, this is the carriage bestowed by the emperor to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.A unique honor in the world.

All the courtiers rushed to see the ceremony one by one.His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is famous and kind-hearted, civil and military officials, except for a few attached to the Seventh Prince, most of them praise the Prince highly.

Yan Ci also heard people say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went hunting with the emperor at the age of seven, and rescued the emperor's favorite concubine Shangguan from the mouth of a beast.

Seeing that the youngest son was quite brave, the emperor gave words of praise.But the prince embraced the bow and crossbow, and replied, the tiger father has no dogs.Both the father and the emperor's child.It is the blood of the real dragon emperor, how can he lose to the generation of wolves.

The emperor was very happy, and rewarded the crown prince's biological mother, Empress Liu, with countless pieces of cloth and jewels.It is only natural.

If you talk about the prince's virtuousness, it is because of His Majesty's direct inheritance.So resign but not accept.Therefore, Empress Liu was named a virtuous queen.

And the emperor even rewarded His Royal Highness the crown prince with a purple gold-carved dragon carriage.And deliberately made a decree not to resign.Since then, the prince's virtuous name and wisdom have gradually been praised by people.

At this moment, Yan Ci watched the crowd rushing away around the carriage, and wished he could step into the Golden Luan Hall immediately, so as to avoid Du Zijin far away.

He never dared to think about the ins and outs of this matter in his heart, and he didn't dare to think about the calculations that started from Fuyun Peak.

If the candied gourds and the stars and lights on the Lantern Festival were all part of that man's plan, then whether that cold arrow was real or not, and whether he saved himself or a pawn in the moment of life and death on the racecourse .

Yan Ci was dressed in a purple official robe, and the corners of the robe were blown by the morning wind, flying up and down.The long hair fluttered in the wind from under the official hat, making him feel as if he was about to be blown away by the wind.

The purple-gold-carved dragon-carriage rushed through the surrounding crowd, and walked slowly in front of Yan Ci. Yan Ci turned his head and wanted to leave, but was blocked by the ministers who were gradually swarming over.

"Lord Yan, please stay." Du Zijin opened the curtain of the carriage, and quickly got out of the carriage. The grace and demeanor imbued with years of wealth and glory made him behave very gracefully. Du Zijin got out of the carriage, He said again, "Lord Yan..."

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yan Ci did not dare to lose his sense of proportion, and only said, "His Royal Highness."

Yan Ci looked at Du Zijin, there was no smile in his eyes, his eyes were as cold as a pool of stagnant water.

Du Zijin was dressed in a silver-white prince's crown, standing under the Zhengyang Gate where the breeze was blowing slightly, like a bright moon, with a noble air.

"My lord Yan is not ill. I feel better." Du Zijin did not hide it, and in front of the courtiers, he cared about Yan Ci, who had just entered the official career.Everyone only thinks that His Highness the Crown Prince is indeed a virtuous and sycophant, a virtuous prince.

For some reason, Yan Ci looked at Du Zijin's nonchalant appearance, and the grievance in his heart was like a flood breaking a bank. He said with red eyes, "Since His Royal Highness knows that I am sick, why didn't you ask for leave for me. I have been detained for three days. It's hard to bear a person's body that has been blown to pieces by the wind for two days after being poisoned."

Everyone couldn't understand what they heard, they just felt that this new champion was too ignorant to talk to the prince like that.

Du Zijin looked at Yan Ci's dark red eyes, and the gradually brightening sky looked like the fairy in the painting, and he couldn't help but think of the scene of the two of them swimming together in Piaoquan that day.

I couldn't bear it for a while, so I blurted out, "Abstain from leave, I'm afraid I will be kicked out by you if I go into your house to see you. It's hard to even take a look at you!"

Everyone just felt that this new champion was too ignorant of flattery, what an honor it must be for His Highness the Crown Prince to come in person, how could he be able to blow His Highness the Crown Prince out.

Yan Ci saw that he spoke quite casually in public, afraid that people would chew his tongue, so he couldn't help saying, "Yan Ci thanked His Highness for his concern. Please rest assured, Your Highness. Yan Ci will not die of poison today."

Looking at the crowd, Du Zijin felt that it was inappropriate to say more here, so he shook his head and said, "It's fine. I'm also relieved."

After all, he ignored everyone and Yan Ci, and walked towards Zhengyang Gate alone.When passing by Yan Ci's side, Du Zijin said softly, "I won't let you die in one day."

Du Zijin walked faster and faster.Ah Jiu quickly took two steps to follow.Du Zijin ordered, "Get someone to build me a bamboo house in the White Crane Valley below the Piaoquan Spring."

"Yes, Your Highness. I just don't know what His Highness is for?"

"Useful? Just make someone happy." Yan Ci said that day.Such a beautiful scenery cannot be seen every day.

As long as he is happy.What can't be done.
