The Road of the Queen

Let's say that Yin Yuting and Pei Qinggang went to Prince Cheng's Tingxue Pavilion together, and when they walked by the waterside pavilion, they could smell the strong scent of ambergris, but when they walked into the pavilion, the scent became weaker.

A few candles were lit in the room, Cheng Wang Li Chunqiu was wearing a light moon cloud pattern obscene clothes, leaning on the couch and closing his eyes to sleep, his hair was wet, it seemed that he had just come out of the bath, the gentle candlelight fell on his face On the face, the pearl-like skin is more soft and radiant.Liu Zihuan had already arrived, and was sitting by the side drinking tea and reading.

Hearing footsteps, Li Chunqiu opened his eyes.Yin and Pei came in, before they could salute, Li Chunqiu glanced at Pei Qinggang, "Close the door." Pei Qinggang replied yes, then went out to Tingxue Pavilion to arrange, and then came back to lock the door from the inside.

Li Chunqiu patted the bed beside him, and said to Yin Yuting: "Sit here."

At this time Liu Zihuan raised his head, his cheeks were thinly blush, but his smiling almond eyes were a little dark today, the originally brown pupils were bottomless.

Yin Yuting turned his gaze to Li Chunqiu's face, who was also looking at him lightly.Yin Liulang walked up to Li Chunqiu without saying a word, but did not sit down, "My lord."

Li Chunqiu said: "Zihuan has something to say, you should listen to it together."

Liu Zihuan shook his indigo-blue gown, stood up and said, "I just heard that His Royal Highness has hired an immortal doctor from Kunlun Mountain to treat His Majesty's illness." He looked at Yin Yuting: "I wonder if Yin Liulang heard about it?"

Yin Yuting said: "I just heard about it."

Liu Zihuan asked, "What's Yin Liulang's opinion on this?"

Yin Yuting lowered his eyelids, his eyes fell on Li Chunqiu from the corner of his eyes, but the other party pretended not to see him and turned his gaze elsewhere.He slowly sat on the couch, and said in a rambling voice: "The crown prince is the eldest son of His Majesty, what is so strange about a son being filial to his father?" Although the tone of these words was light, it seemed familiar, Li Chunqiu who was lying on his back couldn't help but look up Yin Yuting.

Liu Zihuan sneered and said, "Yin Liulang really thinks so?"

Yin Yuting said: "I hope Zihuan thinks the same way."

Liu Zihuan snorted coldly: "I don't think so." Then he said: "Yin Liulang is really a Zhang Zifang. He is still indifferent when he hears such news."

After hearing this, Yin Yuting looked at Li Chunqiu with a half-smile, and asked softly: "My lord, am I a competent Zhang Zifang?"

Li Chunqiu looked at the white and handsome face in front of him without blinking, with indescribable emotion in his eyes, he looked away for a while, closed his eyes and said: "Zihuan wants to say something, but it doesn't matter."

Seeing Li Chunqiu ignoring Yin Yuting, Liu Zihuan's brown eyes hinted at his complacency: "The crown prince has suppressed my palace since he was in charge of the country, even this time the prince has made great achievements in Pingjiang and has not been granted a big seal. Now that your majesty is seriously ill, the prince Will he really find a good doctor for His Majesty?! He must have recruited some monster to put His Majesty to death!"

After hearing this, Yin Yuting was about to speak, but was stopped by Li Chunqiu's eyes, only to hear Cheng Wang lazily knocking on the edge of the bed with his right thumb: "Continue talking."

Liu Zihuan said solemnly: "I think that this is the time of life and death, and the prince must never let His Majesty die."

Li Chunqiu was amused by this sentence, stretched his arms around Yin Yuting's slender waist sitting in front of him, and pulled him into his arms.Seeing this scene, Pei Qinggang, who was standing aside, stared anxiously at Yin Yuting's face, but did not dare to move.

Li Chunqiu leaned into Yin Yuting's ear, and asked softly: "Isn't that what you just said?" Yin Yuting's eyes flashed, and the cinnabar between his brows frowned slightly.

Liu Zihuan continued: "It's better for us to strike first - assassinate the prince."

"It's better for us to act first and assassinate the prince!" The dark light flowed into the eyes of Xinghe who was smiling, Liu Zihuan walked up to Li Chunqiu, staring fiercely at Yin Yuting in the prince's arms: "As long as you succeed in one fell swoop, you will be able to protect the prince as the prince! Yin Liulang, do you think my plan is good?"

Yin Yuting just put aside Li Chunqiu's salty hand, stood up and hid far away from the bed, and said in a deep voice: "Even if the crown prince is dead, there is still the second prince who is also a descendant, the fourth prince recommended by Confucian scholars, how can he protect the prince Where is the prince?"

Liu Zihuan cast a disdainful glance at Yin Yuting: "Even if it doesn't go so smoothly, it can always solve the urgent need. If His Majesty dies and the Crown Prince ascends to the throne, it will be difficult for us to become a prince."

Yin Yuting frowned and said: "I'm not sure whether the good doctor the crown prince found for His Majesty is real or not, so I act rashly... I'm afraid it's not appropriate."

Liu Zihuan sneered, ignored him, and said to Li Chunqiu: "My lord, please take my minister's suggestion and immediately send a killer to assassinate the prince."

Yin Yuting said to Li Chunqiu: "My lord, please think twice."

Liu Zihuan saw that Yin Yuting was chiseling ice charcoal directly with him, he felt angry, and sarcastically said: "I never thought that you, Yin Liulang, are as timid as a mouse. With such courage, you dare to enjoy the prince's love?!"

Yin Yuting said: "I just think that the crown prince is not someone who is waiting for nothing, so he wouldn't use such means. There must be reasons we don't know."

Liu Zihuan said: "As long as His Majesty dies, the Crown Prince will be able to take the throne. What reason does he have?!—Of course I hope His Majesty will die soon!" He knew it was wrong as soon as he said this, His Majesty is Li Chunqiu's father after all , it was a bit offensive, so he hurriedly bowed to Li Chunqiu and said: "I am in a hurry, please forgive my disrespect."

Li Chunqiu just smiled lazily, waved his hands and said, "It's okay, I understand Zihuan's intentions." He raised his peachy eyes, but said to Pei Qinggang who had been standing like a wooden stake: "Ah Gang, you Do you agree with Zihuan's suggestion?"

Pei Qinggang immediately knelt down on one knee and said: "I am stupid, obey the prince's orders."

Li Chunqiu said to Yin Yuting who was standing far away: "You stay and play the piano for me, um... just play the song "Drunken Flower Yin"."

"My lord, please accept my minister's suggestion and immediately send killers to assassinate the prince!" Liu Zihuan said anxiously, he wanted to get closer to Li Chunqiu, but seeing Li Chunqiu only looked at Yin Yuting, he didn't take another step.

Yin Yuting responded, and said to the other two: "My lord wants to listen to the qin, so Zihuan and A-Gang should go down first."

Seeing this scene, Liu Zihuan knew that even though Li Chunqiu didn't say anything, he was biased against Yin Liulang's intentions, he couldn't help being jealous and hated, and was so angry that he forgot the rules, flung his sleeves and pushed the door away.How could Yin Yuting fail to see Liu Zihuan's distorted face, he raised his chin and winked at Pei Qinggang for a long time, and finally made the elm lump open his mind and chased Liu Zihuan to persuade him.

Yin Yuting moved to the piano stand, set up the Yaoqin, and asked softly when raising his hand to play with the strings: "Why did the lord suddenly think of him?"

"Who is this slave talking about?" Li Chunqiu supported his head with one hand, pinched his frowning brows with the other, closed his eyes and rested his mind.

Yin Yuting thought to himself: You ask knowingly.Start playing the piano, it is the song Drunken Flower Yin.The melody is soft and tactful like a warbler's cry: "Shen Bingjun." He hesitated for a moment, then said again: "Bo Yan Na Hai."

"En." Li Chunqiu responded lightly.

It has been a year since Shen Bingjun left Chengwang Mansion.Ever since the empty box was brought back, Li Chunqiu never mentioned this once favorite musician, and Yin Yuting almost forgot his appearance.Now when I play "Drunken Flower Yin", I vaguely think of that person's icy eyes, frosty demeanor and the clear sound of the piano at his fingertips.

Li Chunqiu listened to the music, tapped the edge of the bed with the finger on the thumb of his right hand, and beat the beat. "Drunken Flower Yin" is about to finish playing, only the last few strings are left, Li Chunqiu said slowly: "Do you know why I look at him differently?"

After playing a song, Yin Yuting pushed the Yaoqin: "I don't know."

Li Chunqiu said: "He doesn't like to talk, and when he is with me, he likes to play the piano for me." After a pause, he said: "He always looks at me with worry and pity."

Yin Yuting nodded and remained silent.

"You are different from him. Even if I confessed to you, you directly rejected me." He smiled wryly: "Daoist Yin Chen asked me to turn you into the you I want, the you I want... What is it like?"

Hearing this, Yin Yuting raised his head suddenly, and saw Li Chunqiu's half-open peach blossom eyes, in which was the love of Qi Qi Ai Ai, and the dimples on his lips reflected lightly.The red lips parted slightly, and the voice was distant: "I want you..."

Yin Yuting sighed, stood up and walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Li Chunqiu's hand, and pressed his forehead against his neck: "Yuting is all about accomplishing great things for the prince, and I hope the prince will be successful."

Li Chunqiu raised his chin, his eyes met each other, the peach blossom eyes reflected the picturesque face of the other party, the cinnabar between the brows was dazzlingly red: "Just now you objected to Zihuan's suggestion, you thought Zihuan would obediently listen to you ?"

"Without the prince's permission, I believe that Zihuan will not act rashly."

Li Chunqiu suddenly laughed evilly: "That's not necessarily the case. Liu Zihuan, he has been with me for so many years, but sometimes he still doesn't listen to me."

Yin Yuting pondered and said: "In the view of the prince, what is the prince's intention for this move?"

Li Chunqiu touched Yin Yuting's snow-white face, and slowly closed his eyes: "Based on what I know about Father, I'm afraid even calling him sick is false."

Yin Yuting was taken aback, and stared straight at Li Chunqiu's face, but the other party closed his eyes in a relaxed manner.It took a long time to come back to his senses, and said: "If according to what the prince said, it is false for the prince to seek a doctor. Then..." He thought about it, and asked suspiciously: "Then the prince acquiesced to Liu Zihuan's suggestion? "

Hearing this, Li Chunqiu opened his eyes a little, but seeing his lazy eyes looking forward, the radiance was bright, and he said calmly: "It's not bad to kill the prince."

Yin Yuting was the one who was shocked, nodded his head and lowered his eyes, all the astonishment on his face was restrained, he thought to himself: If the emperor's claim of illness is false, and the crown prince's seeking medical treatment is false, then the two father and son must be accomplices.At this time, Liu Zihuan's plan to assassinate the crown prince was successful, but if he failed, I'm afraid that all the spearheads would be pointed at me Chengwangfu.At that time, Prince Cheng will never set himself on fire for a mere housekeeper, he will definitely sacrifice Liu Zihuan.Looking sideways at Li Chunqiu again, I feel a heavy heart, and a chill in my eyes, those amorous peach blossom eyes are looking forward to not the autumn water but the stormy waves.
