Linque

Holding the candy, Chu Heng glanced at the nervous and vigilant Donggong Yingwei and Gu Yan who was looking here, lowered his eyes and smiled and said, "Do you know who I am, so you dare to let me hug you?"

Qingyan obviously didn't know, she raised her face and shook her head, but still stretched out her two little hands and stood on tiptoe: "Hug."

Dabai Tuanzi's voice was immature and soft, it was the voice of a coquettish child, and he was not stable on tiptoes, so he swayed back and forth with his face up.Chu Heng couldn't help chuckling, reached out and rubbed his head, bent down to pick him up, and held him in his arms.

Satisfied, Dabai Tuanzi buried her head in his arms and arched her head. Her soft hair rubbed against Chu Heng's neck, and she obediently lay on him.

When Gu Yan saw this, he just smiled and walked away without saying anything.

When turning around, the corner of his eye suddenly touched the long sword on the ground in the distance. Gu Yan was slightly taken aback. Recalling the scene just now, he glanced at Lishan Dongjun's hand, his eyes froze for a moment, and saw Ye Shuli looking at him. , the look of surprise in his eyes quickly disappeared again.

The ownerless long sword fell to the ground, covered in dust and blood.Ye Shuli stood where he was, glanced at Gu Yanshi's back, then looked at the sword, and narrowed his eyes slightly.

The official road was full of mess, the carriage he was riding in had been chopped into broken wood, and the shadow guards of the Eastern Palace around him were more or less injured.It is only fifty miles away from the imperial capital, and the pro-army Duwei's Mansion and Wucheng Bingma Division will come over soon.Gu Yanshi simply asked everyone to rest on the spot to recover from their injuries, and then sent two shadow guards who were fine to report to Jiuchongque.

Qing Yan lay in Chu Heng's arms for a while, raised his head, and stared at him curiously with bright black eyes.The gauze hat blocked Chu Heng's face, Chu Heng could see him, but he couldn't see Chu Heng.

So he stretched out his hand to touch his gauze hat, seeing that he had no objection, raised his head and raised his hands and slowly took off Chu Heng's gauze hat, revealing a face covered with a silver half mask.

"Eh? I still can't see it." Qing Yan was dazed holding the gauze hat, tilted his head, and reached out to touch Chu Heng's mask.

This time it was not possible, Chu Heng turned his head slightly, pretending to be serious and said: "No."

"Hmm." Qing Yan obediently responded, retracted her hands obediently, hugged Chu Heng's gauze hat, and lay on his shoulder.

Two quarters of an hour later, Tianzi Yingwei, Wucheng Bingma Si and Jingzhaofu Yin all arrived, and the pro-army Duweifu who was in charge of Yiwei followed behind with his chariot.

The assassination of the prince is no small matter.The most panicked ones were the Wucheng Bingma Division, which was in charge of patrolling the defense around Gyeonggi. Except for the Southeast Division, which was first called by Prime Minister Yan to discuss the matter of the Nanxi Mission, the commanders of the other Central, Northwest and Third Divisions were all in cold sweat after hearing about it. Quickly rushed over.

Fortunately, the "big Buddha" who was holding the little prince happened to pass by and saved the scene. The prince was fine, and the group of people pressed the heart that had jumped into their throats back into their chests, and thanked Chu Heng several times.Two quarters of an hour later, when the pro-army Duwei's Mansion arrived with the Chu Jun's car, the road ahead had been cleared, and the entire Zhiguan Road was blocked.

It was inconvenient for Chu Heng to take the initiative to set foot in the imperial capital at the moment, and when he saw Gu Yan from a distance coming towards them, he knew that the little prince was going back to the palace.He still had the candy that the dumpling gave him just now in his hand, Chu Heng held him with one hand, and handed the candy in the other palm to him: "Eat it."

Dabai Tuanzi's eyes lit up when he saw Tang Xi smiling, his black round eyes sparkling with excitement, but he was not in a hurry to eat, instead he turned his head first, just in time to see Gu Yan walking towards them from the left side, Qing Yan immediately Vigilantly covering Chu Heng's palm holding the candy, he whispered: "I ate it today, I hid it, don't let my cousin see it."

"Hide?" Chu Heng laughed when he heard the words, and turned sideways calmly so that his back was facing Gu Yanshi.Qingyan just took the candy from the rice dumpling, peeled off the oil paper wrapped in the candy, stuffed it into the pocket inside the small cloak, and bent his eyes contentedly to eat the candy.

Gu Yanshi walked towards them, thanked Chu Heng first, and then extended his hand to the little prince and said: "Ayan, come to my uncle's arms, it's time to get in the car and go home. "

Qing Yan was still stealing sweets, how dare Gu Yanshi see him, buried his head on Chu Heng's neck and shoulders, snorted twice, as if he would not let him hug him.

Gu Yanshi patted him on the back lightly: "Ayan is obedient, it's time to go home and see your father."

Hearing the word "Father Emperor", Qing Yan slightly raised his head and twisted his body, but he hadn't finished eating the candy in his mouth, so after thinking about it, he lay back on his stomach again.

Gu Yanshi had no choice but to go around in front of him.As an "accomplice", Chu Heng quickly covered the "principal culprit" who stole the candy, glanced at the car in the distance, and said with a chuckle, "I'll carry you there?"

Qing Yan nodded hurriedly.

When Gu Yan saw this, he no longer stopped him.Chu Heng hugged Qingyan and chatted with Gu Yanshi, the two walked towards the car.

Chu Heng intentionally slowed down his pace, giving Dabai Tuanzi plenty of time to steal sweets, and when he raised his head from his arms and blinked at him, Chu Heng understood, and walked a little faster without a trace.

Before he could get to the car driver, several people rushed towards him on horseback in the distance.Gu Yanshi glanced over, and the leader was Rong Shan, the deputy commander of the emperor's shadow guards, followed by several shadow guards, and the two men he sent to deliver the message also came back together, obviously the emperor already knew that the prince was halfway The attack.

Rong Shan rolled off the saddle and walked straight in front of them, greeted Gu Yan with a smile, said a few words, then turned to look at Lishan Dongjun who was holding the little prince, saluted with fists in his arms, and said, "Today's Thank you Dong Jun for your help, His Majesty told us to invite you to sit in Jiuchong Tower so that we can thank you in person."

Chu Heng looked at the deputy commander of the shadow guard in front of him calmly.

He is not the same as Ling Qi, Rongshan is as his name suggests, he has a very kind face, always smiles, and talks with a bit of sincerity.On weekdays, he and Ling Qi did a lot of things like singing red face and bad face. Although his style of handling things was a little smoother, in fact he was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, no easier to deal with than Ling Qi.

For example, if the prince is assassinated, the entire official road will be blocked. In the next few days, no one will be allowed to leave within [-] miles of the capital, let alone Ji Wuyue. Those present are gone.

From the first time Chu Heng saw Qingyan, he knew that he would not be able to leave today.However, Mr. Lishan Dong's identity is sensitive and it is not easy to force him to stay, so when he came to Rong Shan, he simply became the emperor sent the deputy commander of the emperor's shadow guard to invite him, and he also wanted to thank him in person. Can he say "no"?

But if he really wants to enter the palace with his current appearance... Chu Heng suddenly beat a small drum in his heart, feeling a little flustered for no reason, and couldn't make up his mind for a while.

Rong Shan saw that Ji Wuyue didn't speak, nor was he in a hurry, he just waited patiently, and after a while, he heard him speak——

"I don't dare to thank you, but Commander Rong said, please me?" Ji Wuyue repeated these two words, and said leisurely: "If you don't want to go, please?"

Rong Shan suffocated slightly.

Ever since Ji Wuyue entered Mengzhang Pass and set foot in the capital, his movements have been followed by the Son of Heaven's shadow guards. Naturally, Rong Shan knew that he was leaving today, so he pointed to the cloudy sky and did not answer his words , turned to smile and said: "The sky is not looking good right now, there will be heavy rain, don't Dongjun choose another day to leave?"

The implication is obvious, since if you don't go, if you don't go to Jiuchong Que, then you will not give Your Majesty face.

This hat is too big to pick up, Chu Heng was silent.

Ye Shuli knew what he was worried about, so he winked at him immediately, implying that he would go back to Luyuan and talk to Mu Xiyun and the others first, so that he could deal with it in time.

Qing Yan, lying in his arms, looked up at them for a while, although she didn't quite understand what they meant, but she knew that they were asking if the person who was holding her would go to the palace.Seeing that he hadn't made a statement, Qing Yan reached out and tugged at his sleeve, blinking and said: "Go, go, hug again."

After finishing speaking, he circled around Chu Heng and did not let go.

Chu Heng lowered his eyes, facing Dabai Tuanzi's eyes full of expectation, his heart that couldn't refuse was completely defeated, so he nodded and hugged him into the carriage.

The road ahead was clear, and the cars were driving unimpeded. They drove all the way from Fifty Li of Gyeonggi to Jiuchongque, and did not stop when they entered Danfengmen.

This was obviously ordered by His Majesty in advance. Gu Yanshi and the others were taken to the imperial hospital for treatment as soon as they entered the palace gate. At this moment, only the specially invited Lishan Dongjun and the little prince were left.

Qing Yan had been away for several months and hadn't seen his father for a long time. When he first entered the palace gate, he couldn't sit still, he writhed in the car, his face full of impatience.

When he arrived at the place, he was hugged out of the car and ran towards Jingcheng Hall with his short legs.The guards in front of the palace saw him from a distance, and immediately went in to communicate.

Not long after, Ling Ye quickly walked out of the hall.Qing Yan just ran to the entrance of the hall, and when he saw him, his eyes lit up immediately, he bowed crookedly, and called "Father Emperor" again, and immediately threw himself into Ling Ye's arms.

Chu Heng was a few steps behind Qingyan, seeing the figure coming out of the hall from a distance, couldn't help but slightly raised the corners of his lips.He left the palace on the ninth day of the lunar new year, and today is the sixteenth day, and he hasn't returned here for several days.The bricks of Jingcheng Palace and the tiles of Jiuchong Que, the scenery of this place has been quietly described in his heart at some time. After not seeing it for many days, there will be an emotion called "missing" in his heart, remembering this place. Heaven and earth, I miss... the master of the heaven and earth here.

When he got closer, the figure jumped into his eyes more clearly, Chu Heng's heart moved, and he immediately recognized that His Majesty was wearing a crow-blue cloud brocade and gold robe today.The emperor's coat will not be the same easily, this is the common clothes he changed for His Majesty that day in the warm pavilion of the Hall of Respect and Sincerity, and it is also the one that Su Lang accidentally stained with ink spots.

For some reason, this piece of clothing was not directly discarded according to the dust-covered rules of royal objects, but was carefully starched and washed.The ink stains on the golden thread dragon pattern have been washed away, leaving only two very faint marks, and it was worn on its owner again intact.

Ling Ye leaned down and hugged Qing Yan, rubbed against his clothes when he picked him up, and a corner of the small cloak was lifted inadvertently, Ling Ye saw a piece of oiled paper wrapped in sugar in the inner pocket at a glance, raised his eyebrows lightly, and coaxed him first After a few words, seeing that he was not frightened by the assassination, he asked instead: "Did you steal candy?"

Qing Yan was startled, his eyes widened suddenly, how did his father know.

"Hmm..." He hesitated, turned his head and glanced at Chu Heng who was walking over, and whispered guiltyly: "No, no."

Ling Ye followed his gaze, and a tall and tall figure came into view. Mr. Lishandong was younger than expected, and his temperament was not sharp.He was wearing a silver half-face mask, revealing a white chin and a beautifully curved lip line. Looking up, he saw a pair of sparkling eyes with an unconcealable smile flowing quietly in them .

Ling Ye suddenly thought of another person uncontrollably. In his mind, stroke by stroke, he clearly and proficiently outlined the shadow of that person. Finally, he went to trace the eyes carefully. Boundless Qiuyue embraced those eyes, and gently Looking up is the stars let the light.

He was silent, and after a while he came back to his senses, calmly collected his thoughts, and looked at the person in front of him again.

Their eyes met in mid-air, Ji Wuyue bowed lightly, Ling Ye nodded to him, then turned around, Shen Yan looked at Qingyan without speaking.

Qing Yan was so panicked that he didn't know where to look. Seeing his father's face darkened, he didn't dare to hide it anymore. He wrinkled his face and stretched out a finger, and whispered: "I ate one today..."

Ling Ye's eyes were serious, but he still didn't speak.

Qing Yan lowered his head: "...two."

As soon as he finished speaking, without waiting for Ling Ye to speak again, he quickly wrapped his arms around his neck, buried his head on his shoulder, and said in a panic: "Father, don't hit me, Ayan is good."

"Stealing sweets is okay?" Ling Ye gave him a sideways look.

"Hmm..." Qing Yan faltered, but in the end he didn't confess his "accomplice". He just looked into Ling Ye's eyes and said in a low voice: "Ayan was wrong, I won't do it next time."

"Yeah." Ling Ye nodded, and hugged him to the female officer in charge of Yuzheng Palace who was waiting at the side, so that he could take him to take a shower and change clothes.

Turning his head to look at Lishan Dongjun in front of him, Ling Ye sized him up a few more times without any trace, his eyes lingering on those eyes for a moment, and said with a slight smile: "Today's matter, thanks to Dongjun's help."

Ji Wuyue said: "It just so happened that I was passing by from Beijing today, since I met you, it should be right, Your Majesty is serious."

The eyes are similar, but the voice is not.

Ling Ye thought about it inexplicably, came back to his senses in an instant, and invited him to sit in Xinuang Pavilion.The waiter quickly served refreshments.

Chu Heng glanced at it, but it was a pity that there was no Bijian kidney bean cake, he thought so, and sat down beside the case.

They drank two cups of tea, His Majesty asked a few casual questions, all of which were insignificant gossip, he responded as usual, and the two of them didn't say anything more.

The room was silent for a while.

It was cloudy outside, and the sky was very overcast, but several palace lanterns were lit early in the hall, bright as day, and warm incense was burning in the smoked cages beside the table, the soothing and reassuring smell, after staying in the Nuan Pavilion for a long time , Unknowingly, it can make people loosen the stretched string.

Chu Heng was holding a piece of small crisp in his hand, and he was in a daze, when he suddenly heard a voice in his ear: "Chu Heng——"

It was His Majesty calling him.

He suddenly came back to his senses, raised his head subconsciously and was about to respond, the word "Chen Zai" had already come to his lips, and suddenly remembered that "Chu Heng" was still lying in the dew garden, he is now the Lord of Lishan Mountain.

So Lishan Dongjun bit the tip of his tongue and swallowed back what he almost said, the panic in his eyes was instantly covered up, and he looked up at His Majesty as usual.

Ling Ye wiped the lid of the cup slowly, raised his eyelids, and asked calmly, as if he didn't notice anything, "How is he?"

"...It's nothing serious, it's just that I need to rest for a while." Lishan Dongjun pressed his hanging heart back again.

Ling Ye nodded, and the moment he lowered his eyes, his eyes darkened—just now when he suddenly mentioned Chu Heng, the tea in Ji Wuyue's cup shook for no reason a few times, as if he hadn't held it steady, and was a little caught off guard flustered.

He seemed very nervous about Chu Heng, and also seemed guilty of doing something wrong.

Ling Ye narrowed his eyes slightly.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the snacks on the desk, they were all sent by the small tea house in Jingzhang Palace, and they were arranged in several different ways, while what Ji Wuyue held in her hand was Xiaotiansu.

Chu Heng also likes to eat.

I don't know if it's because Chu Heng's biological mother is of the same family as Ji Wuyue, they both shed similar blood, and they grew up together in Lishan Mountain, where one side raised the other, so they both had such bright eyes.Or maybe it's because they often eat together, even the taste is very similar...

As Ling Ye thought about it, his eyes darkened, he raised his head to look at Ji Wuyue's eyes again, curled his lips, and said casually: "I have something to ask Dongjun."

"Your Majesty, please speak."

Ling Ye took a sip of tea, his face was still amiable, and his tone didn't seem to change when he spoke again, still very gentle.

"Three months ago, where was Dong Jun?"
