Notes on Evil Fox

Before dawn, Rong Shiyin stood in front of Lu Fanan's gate wearing only a thin coat.

At this time, the people in the room were not asleep.

Rong Shiyin's infinite melancholy is hidden in the frosty autumn morning, but Lu Fanan's shattered sleepless dreams are also scattered on the warm bed.

……

Because of Lu Kun's incident, the situation in the court was already treacherous, but this morning, there was another bad news.

This morning, a group of officials waited for a long time, but the emperor did not come to court.In the end, the last thing that came was the eunuch who announced the news that the eldest prince had passed away in the middle of the night yesterday.

After leaving the main hall, Rong Shiyin followed Liang Xiaoxian all the way to the General's Mansion, but the latter ignored him, and Rong Shiyin didn't say much.It wasn't until after entering Liang Xiaoxian's study and the old man walking in front sat down that Rong Shiyin lifted the front of his robe and knelt down in front of him.

Liang Xiaoxian said coldly: "What are you doing? Are you forcing me?"

"The lower official is ashamed of his painstaking efforts towards the general."

Liang Xiaoxian looked at him and didn't answer, as if he was waiting for his explanation.

"The general has insight, he should have known about my relationship with him long ago. I dare not hide anything from the general. To me, he is more valuable than my life." Rong Shiyin said frankly, "So as long as I am alive, it is impossible for him to The matter is indifferent. But it is not my wish to disappoint the general."

Liang Xiao stared at him for a long time, finally sighed and said, "Get up."

"Thank you, General."

"When can I see him?"

"If you want to see the general, you can do it anytime."

……

Half a month later, Rongfu.

Thanks to Rong Shiyin's meticulous care, Lu Fanan finally recovered a little these days.But the whole person is still not angry, like a walking dead with a strong face and a smile.

The two were having dinner that day, but Lu Fanan suddenly said, "Should I leave?"

Rong Shiyin, who was sitting across from him, paused when he heard the words, and the food for Lu Fanan on the chopsticks fell on the table.Withdrawing his hand as if nothing had happened, he picked up another dish and put it in Lu Fanan's bowl.

Smiled at Lu Fanan: "Today's ribs are stewed well, try it."

"The imperial decree of the emperor is to prevent the Lu family from entering Beijing forever, and I have stayed in Beijing for so long. If I don't leave, I'm afraid it will be against the decree." Lu Fanan said flatly.

Rong Shiyin put down the bowl, and said slowly: "However, the imperial decree didn't say when to leave Beijing, and I'm here..."

"You have always respected etiquette, and when did you learn this kind of strong and unreasonable rhetoric." Before Rong Shiyin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Fanan with a faint smile.

There was no emotion in the tone, no usual ridicule, no blame, let alone joy.

Looking at Lu Fanan like this, Rong Shiyin became inexplicably afraid.He would rather Lu Fanan make a scene, even beat him and scold him, so at least he can see that he is still alive and alive.

But the current Lu Fanan made him very panicky, that person was indifferent like a puppet.

"No, it's not irrational. As long as you want, we don't have to leave and stay in the capital forever." Rong Shiyin held Lu Fanan's hand eagerly, like this, to prove that the person in front of him really exists.

Lu Fanan took a look at the hand with sharp knuckles in his hand, Rong Shiyin quickly withdrew his hand after feeling his gaze.

Looking at Lu Fanan, there was a bit of caution in his eyes, as if he was afraid that the person would turn him off.

Lu Fanan watched his movements and didn't stop him. He just raised his head slowly and said, "You don't have to be so cautious. I'm not a glass doll, and I don't blame you. My father has to blame for this. He deserved the ending. No one else to blame."

Pausing for a moment, looking down at his hand that was just shaken by Rong Shiyin, he said slowly: "But selfishly, I can't accept it for a while."

"I know."

"I also want to thank you for at least helping me keep my mother."

Rong Shiyin looked at him, and said after deliberation: "Do you want to see her?"

Lu Fanan shook his head, with an unreal smile on his lips: "My mother, she has her pride. She tried her best to let me live without any burden. And All I can do for her is live as she wishes."

Rong Shiyin hesitated and stared at the person in front of him who seemed to have grown up overnight, and suddenly felt a little dazed.It seemed that the next moment, that person was going to move away from him.

……

Suburbs.

Rong Shiyin tapped the table with his fingers, stargazing, admiring the moon, and Ruyi all sat aside quietly waiting for him to speak.

After a long time, Rong Shiyin turned to Ruyi and said, "If the medicine that the Wang family tampered with is stopped, how long will the emperor live?"

"If you stop taking the medicine, you can delay it for at least three years. But if you continue to take it, it will probably be at most half a year." Ruyi lowered her head and thought for a while.

"Half a year?" Rong Shiyin repeated slowly, and smiled slightly, "Enough."

"Brother Rong, aren't you going to save the emperor?" Ruyi wondered, "Isn't the emperor protecting you?"

Watching the stars and the moon is also full of puzzles.

"Protect me, or defend me, who can tell?" Rong Shiyin replied with a plausible answer.

Picking up the Langhao pen dipped in ink on the table, when he was about to write, he suddenly remembered something, and changed the pen to his left hand again.

He randomly wrote a word on the paper, and when he saw that it was far from his original shape, he nodded in satisfaction and began to write the letter.

After a while, he put the finished letter in an envelope and said: "Appreciate the moon, you send this to Zong Mingzheng. Let him follow the instructions in the letter to unite with several people to add fuel to the arrogance of the Wang family. Tell him, The bigger the movement, the better."

Playing with the pen in his hand, he said casually: "I have to put some pressure on the emperor."

After Shangyue took the order to leave, Rong Shiyin waved to Guanxing again, and when the latter approached, he leaned over and whispered something softly.

Guan Xing was taken aback after listening, the expression on his face was extremely weird, he hesitated and said: "Your Excellency, is it true?"

Rong Shiyin slightly raised his eyebrows: "Have I ever told a lie?"

"Yes, stargazing leads the way."

"Brother Rong, what did you say to him? It doesn't feel like a good thing." Ruyi looked at Guan Xing's awkwardly leaving back and said in puzzlement.

"Why is it not a good thing? I want to help the Wang family and the second prince. Isn't it a pleasure to help others?" Rong Shiyin smiled deeply, and then said, "If you really want to know, remember to ask Guan Xing another day to find out anecdotes about the capital .”

For example, he pretended to be profound when he commented on him, and curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

But looking at the blue and black in front of his eyes, he still felt a little distressed and said: "What's the matter between you and Mr. Lu?"

Ruyi knew the whole story of the relationship between the two of them, so when she asked at this moment, Rong Shiyin didn't hide it.She lowered her head and said softly, "I'm afraid that my love will make him feel humiliated."

"Mr. Lu is not that kind of person." Ruyi looked at Rong Shiyin, who seemed to be always in a state of anxiety in her relationship, and said firmly, "Love is always precious, when you think that way, you are humiliating yourself Your love also humiliates the one you love."

Somewhere in Rong Shiyin's heart was suddenly touched, as if someone in his memory had said something similar to him: "This makes me feel that you despised our friendship and me as well."

Did he underestimate this love?However, he was timid.

……

A few days later, the imperial study room was brightly lit.

"It has been more than half a year since the wolf seized power, but we didn't know until a month ago. This shows how tightly the news in the western border is blocked. Of the twelve cities in the western border, only six cities are left. Your Majesty, there is no delay." It's gone." Liang Xiaoxian stood in front of Xia Tuochao and said earnestly, "In addition to these two days, the Wang family has become more and more popular, I'm afraid..."

He hesitated to stop talking, but Xia Tuozhao continued: "Are you afraid that they will not succeed in killing the king?"

Liang Xiao didn't answer first, but he acquiesced to Xia Tuochao's question.

The latter sighed, closed his eyes and thought about it for a while, and asked a little uncertainly, "Is Rong Shiyin really reliable?"

It seems to be asking Liang Xiaoxian, but also like asking himself again.

"Only he can be used."

"That's all."

……

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, the imperial edict said: Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Rong Shiyin, dedicated to his duties, courageous and capital, generous and generous, and righteous. Since entering the dynasty, he has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements. Worry about the world's worries first, and then the world's joy I am happy. Now I have the position of Zuo Xiang, but it has been vacant for a long time, which is very inconvenient for the people and the government. So I ordered him to be the Zuo Xiang. I hope that he will be honest and honest, love the people and treat things. I respect this."

As before, the eunuch with a high-pitched voice was still proclaiming in the hall, but this time when the decree came out, there was no commotion in the hall.Not even a whisper.Rong Shiyin knelt down to accept the order, but sneered in his heart.

This is the person who is following the trend.

……

"Master Rong is really good at playing chess." Wang Baoyin said sarcastically when he stopped Rong Shiyin outside the palace.

"What does Wang Shenshi mean? I seem to be a little confused." Rong Shiyin looked at him and said with a smirk.

"Your Excellency is really humble. In just over half a year, he has changed from a new top scholar to a left-handed lord with less than one person and more than [-] people. Tsk tsk tsk, your lord's achievement is something that many people can't ask for in a few lifetimes. "Wang Baoyin's face was full of contempt.

"It's thanks to the councilor who reminded me not to stand on the wrong team. These days, I have always kept it in mind, so I can achieve such achievements." Rong Shi smiled gently.

"It's really an honor to be a subordinate." Wang Baoyin said with a smile on his face.

Rong Shiyin didn't answer any more, just nodded with a slight smile, and got into the carriage.

"Liang Xiaoxian, Rong Shiyin, I thought you were colluding with Lu Kun, but I didn't expect that the real purpose in the end was to check and balance my Wang family." Wang Baoyi looked at Rong Shiyin's carriage and said in a low voice. .

Zong Mingzheng and Luo Qingyun stood behind, not daring to speak out, for fear of being angered.The two looked at each other a few times in blank dismay, and they felt a little bit of pity for each other in vain.

……

Since returning home, Rong Shiyin has been hiding from Lu Fanan.

The imperial decree, the closer it was to Lu Fanan, the more it looked like a thorn, constantly making trouble in his heart, as if he had to poke it full of holes before he would stop.

Rong Shiyin sat on the stone pier in the backyard, looked up at the clear and cold stars scattered all over the sky, and unconsciously rubbed a piece of half-carved jade in his hands.

Tonight, doomed sleepless.

"So you are here, I have been looking for you all afternoon."
