Linque

But it was too late to push it away, and it was a bit of a cover-up.Chu Heng's cheeks were red, and he gritted his teeth and gave Ling Ye a bitter look. This person didn't remind him, but he really lacked virtue!

"I thought you were still reading." Ling Ye took two steps back and raised his hand on his chest to signal surrender, but the smile on his lips only increased.

Chu Heng was so angry that he wanted to beat him, he stretched out his hands, and from the corner of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of Ah Yan still standing there staring at them, and quickly stopped halfway, advancing or retreating for a while, drawing more and more In the end, he had no choice but to squeeze his fists on the spot, glared at him twice again while grinding his teeth, and turned to appease Chu Yan.

In fact, there was no other way. When Ling Ye brought Chu Yan in, he happened to be taking a nap, and the mere fact that he was sleeping on the emperor's couch couldn't be explained.

What's more, Chu Yan had bumped into him and Ling Ye, who was in micro-clothes, before outside the palace. The child had narrow eyes, and he could have noticed the clues at the time. Later, when Chu Heng returned to Luyuan on the ninth day of the lunar new year, he even inquired about Ling Ye. ye.

Ah Yan is very thoughtful, the more he cares about everything, the less he likes to reveal it, and he always thinks about it in his heart.It's not that it's wrong. He and Chu Xin lost their mother when they were young, and their elder brother left home. They grew up supporting each other in a big family like the Chu family. Through the journey, some bitterness and grievances are self-evident. There is nothing wrong with his temperament.In other words, Chu Heng, the elder brother, was not around and couldn't take care of them.Therefore, when he asked about Ling Ye that day, Chu Heng didn't deliberately hide it. Instead of letting him guess and worry all the time, it's better to point it out from the side.

As for Ling Ye's identity, Ah Yan used to stay at Zhongli's family and never entered the palace, so he didn't recognize him.He is a direct descendant of the Zhongli Chu family, a descendant of a serious family, now that he has come to the imperial capital, he will always have the opportunity to meet Tianyan.Just like today's Chunsou, even if he is not qualified to talk to the saint in front of him, he will never be stopped by someone to see what His Majesty looks like from a distance.

Although today's matter is a bit rash, the result will be sooner or later.

Chu Heng originally wanted to choose an opportunity to speak directly with him, but Ling Ye interrupted him so directly, but it couldn't be more direct.

Chu Heng walked up to him, shook his hands, and said in a gentle voice, "I'm back to my senses."

Chu Yan just woke up from the panic, subconsciously took a step back, glanced at Ling Ye, and as soon as his eyes touched the dragon robe, he immediately lowered his head and did not speak.

"Are you scared?" Chu Heng followed his gaze and said with a smile, "Didn't you see your brother Gu outside the palace before?"

But at that time it was just "Brother Gu"... Chu Yan wringed her fingers, but still said nothing.

Chu Heng glanced at Ling Ye for a few times, then looked down at the restless younger brother in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, he doesn't eat people."

Chu Yan: "..."

"Come here." Hearing this, Ling Ye knew that the queen was "revenging" him for not reminding him just now, so she deliberately buried her.However, in order to prove that he "does not eat people", Ling Ye waved his hand to signal the waiter to serve refreshments.

Chu Heng led Chu Yan to the table, and the latter looked at Ling Ye hesitantly.

"sit."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chu Yan bowed before he dared to take his seat.

Ling Ye didn't let the waiter do it, he warmed the pot and washed the tea by himself. The pot contained the white dew tea that was newly tributed from Yunzhou years ago, and Chu Heng liked it very much.Chu Yan sat across from him, watching the emperor warm up and wake up in one go, while his brother sat aside and waited, and did not forget to give him some tea on the way.This scene jumped into his eyes, and he couldn't help but think of the scene when he was in Wangshiju that day.

It's a lie not to be happy for Di Xi, it's just a deception, "Brother Gu" who "conspires to do something wrong" is the truth.

Chu Yan glanced at his brother's face, let go of his heart, but had new worries.

The white dew tea was brewed quickly, and Ling Ye handed over a cup, and before Chu Yan thanked him, he said, "Forget it."

Chu Yan nodded instead, and sat back again.

The three of them chatted about Chunsou for a while, and Chu Yan was restrained and in awe. Chu Heng didn't intend to take him to stay in front of the imperial court for a long time. It happened that Ling Qi, the leader of the shadow guard of the Son of Heaven, came to see him. Taking advantage of this gap, Chu Heng sent Chu Yan away. go back.

All the way out of the Emperor Garden, Chu Heng knew that Chu Yan still had something in his heart, so he took him up to the Linjiang Tower next to the Emperor Garden.

This is the highest point of Shanglin Garden, overlooking the whole garden from a condescending height.

"It's fine if you know it, but don't tell your sister yet, she is careful and will inevitably think too much." Chu Heng said as he looked at the imperial palace where they had just walked out.

Chu Yan looked at his brother's face, his eyebrows and eyes were unparalleled.To be honest, if it wasn't for the fact that Chu Heng lived far away in Lishan all these years and was not well-known, otherwise, just because of this face and demeanor, anyone who came to Zhongpinghou's mansion to say goodbye would have broken the threshold.Chu Yan looked worried, moved his lips, but did not make a sound.

Chu Heng looked sideways at him, smiled lightly, his eyebrows stretched out vividly following the joy, and there was a kind of thrilling beauty under the skylight.He tilted his head to look at Chu Yan, his voice was gentle but firm, with an inexplicably reassuring feeling, "He deserves it."

"As for your worries, brother understands. Don't worry, there is no need to worry about these, you will know when the time comes."

Chu Heng paused, touched his shoulder, bent his eyes and said again: "If you think too much, you won't grow taller. Tomorrow's spring search, I'll wait in front of the imperial court to see your performance."

"En." Chu Yan responded, looked up at Chu Heng, and secretly clenched her fists.He can see that His Majesty really likes his brother. The word "I" and the cup of tea made by the emperor have long been a natural habit. No matter the white dragon fish clothes outside the palace or the dragon robe today, nothing has changed. .

It's just that Chu Yan doesn't know what the reason for this liking is, and how long it can last, but one thing is certain - in this matter, His Majesty has the final say, and his brother has no choice. ①

So even though his elder brother was full of admiration for His Majesty, Chu Yan still couldn't feel at ease because of it.He knew that his family didn't care about his brother, so he had to make progress.Otherwise, one day, there will be a rift between His Majesty and elder brother, and if it is no longer today, who will protect elder brother?

Just start tomorrow's spring search and perform well.

However, Chu Yan did not expect that most of his worries would disappear after a few days.

……

Chu Heng stood on the tower and talked to Chu Yan for a while, but saw Ling Qi come out of the main hall of the Emperor Garden, get on his horse, and gallop away with a few shadow guards.When passing by Que Tower, Ling Qi raised his head and glanced in his direction.

Chu Heng watched Yingshou go away calmly, seeing that he was going all the way south to leave Shanglin Garden, he couldn't help frowning.

"What's the matter?" Sending Chu Yan away, Chu Heng returned to the inner hall, and asked after Shang Yi's inner servant left.

In the evening, there was a small banquet among clan relatives. Ling Ye changed his clothes and came out from behind the hem. He shook his head and said, "It can't be called a bad thing for us. The military report came from Jingzhou, and Helantuo, the holy son of Yujiang, was here. On the way back to Wangcheng, he was robbed and murdered by his half-brother Weixi. He has already passed away. I am afraid that there will be troops in Yujiang. I will ask Ling Qi to find out how Helantuo left the border from Dayin. "

He Lantuo assassinated Qing Yan in Gyeonggi, and was wanted throughout the territory after his defeat, but he never disappeared.But he didn't want to hear the news again, he had already left the country without anyone noticing, the people behind him must be very capable, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that his hands and eyes are in the sky.

Chu Heng frowned, and said: "Go and investigate at this time?"

Although Helanduo's death involved the military affairs in Yujiang, it was not urgent for Dayin, just wait and see for the time being.And after the twentieth of the first lunar month, princes from all over the world and envoys from foreign countries left Beijing one after another. The past few days in Chunsou was the last gathering of forces from all sides. At this juncture, it seems inappropriate for the leader of the Shadow Guard to leave like this.

Ling Ye said, "Rong Shan is still here."

"...That's right." Chu Heng replied, but he was still not at ease, thinking that the chief and deputy leaders were more secure.He raised his head and met Ling Ye's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. His heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly felt guilty, and quickly looked away.

...It seems that both of them are not here, and he is still here.

Chun Sou put the sixteenth day of the first lunar month in it, he was worried about how to find a reason to get away from His Majesty that day, but now that Ling Qi is gone, it is saved.

Now that it was time to get down to business, Chu Heng began to continue to settle the original score, and the slap in front of Ah Yan finally came to fruition, "Are you trying to see me make a fool of yourself?"

Ling Ye smiled: "It's not that I'm shameless."

Chu Heng walked to the side of the bed and sat down, raised his eyebrows and said calmly: "How dare I say that?"

His Majesty's intuition was not good, and he retorted to the past: "I also have to ask for a title, okay?"

This statement is well-founded, but it seemed a little wronged when I said it. Chu Heng couldn't hold back immediately, and said with a smile: "Here, Mrs. Chu, okay? Fifteen tomorrow is not appropriate, the day after tomorrow, ten the day after tomorrow Six, let my master come over to make a marriage proposal."

His Majesty gasped, nodded and held his lips, turned over immediately, and physically told him what to shout.

In this way, the clothes are changed for nothing.
