Yan Xi kept vigilant at night, and didn't hear any movement around her until bedtime.

"Is it me?" Yan Xi undressed suspiciously and got on the couch, put down the curtains, and closed his eyes to rest.

After summer, he couldn't sleep very well, and today he fell asleep after closing his eyes.

Something comforted Yan Xi in the dark, and she slept soundly all night without even having a dream.

On the wooden couch separated by a wall, Song Beiming also gently closed his eyes.

"Ku" has the effect of restraining essence, destroying flesh and blood, and rotting will.

Since Song Beiming took "Ku", his body became colder day by day, as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

Can't see the end.

Song Beiming's physique before taking the medicine was that he dared to take off his cotton-padded clothes even in the three-foot-thick snow in Beiyuan.Now I am so afraid of the cold that I have to add clothes in summer.

Summer is the most comfortable season for Song Beiming when the yang energy is heavy, and he can sleep better at night.

It's just that his mind is heavy, even if he falls asleep, he will still be haunted by nightmares at night.

In the battle of Langfeng Pass, Da Jing lost the fertile land of hundreds of miles north of Langfeng Pass, and he lost his parents.

He led people back to Langfeng Pass, and fought a fierce battle with his elder sister Song Yuexiao. The court had no supplies, the local government had no support, food, grass and arms were in short supply, and the people behind him were still scolding the Song family for losing their land.

No one knows the price the Song family paid for stopping the enemy's violent attack.

As a vanguard, he came back from the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, saved the face of the Snow-Treading Army, and blocked the border at the Langfeng Pass.

At the same time, he also lost 20,000 dead brothers.

The humiliation, flesh and blood and tragedy of that battle have become his nightmare for many years.

'Ku' turned the nightmare into an evil ghost, gnawing at Song Beiming's soul day and night.

Song Beiming lived under the blue sky and white sun, and there were countless fighting spirits under his feet.

Sometimes he can't even tell whether he is a human or a ghost.

Song Beiming slept well tonight.

The evil spirit only came for a face-to-face meeting, then hid in the dark and dared not come out. The fragrance from "Rong" across the wall penetrated through the small hole he made on the wall, comforting him lightly.

Song Beiming seemed to have returned to the world.

Early the next morning, Yan Xi woke up refreshed.

It was rare for him to have no cold sweat last night, and his inner clothes were dry, so he couldn't help feeling suspicious.

Yan Xi first suspected that Song Beiming had come to his house. After all, Song Beiming had never done this before, and even turned against him and drove him away.

She slept too fast last night, and Yan Xi didn't have time to check. Looking around at this moment, there was no sign of things being moved in the room, no new additions, and no suspicious stains on the curtains hanging on the bed.

So, where did the faint "Rong" smell come from last night?

Yan Xi's eyes fell on the wall behind the bed, which was blocked by the curtain.

It's just that Yan Xi has to catch up with the morning court, so she doesn't have time to think deeply.

According to the regulations of the Da Jing court meeting, generals and civil officials of the fifth rank and above in Beijing must go to the early court.

Although Yan Xi's rank is not high enough, because he used to be directly assigned to the sage in the six subjects, and now he temporarily takes the position of the fifth rank Yu Heng Qing Li Silang with the sixth rank, so he has always participated in the early court with exception.

In the early dynasty, the time limit was strict and the process was solemn. At the beginning of Yinshi, the Beijing officials had to wear dental plaques and wait outside the Meridian Gate for the arrival of Maoshi.

Yan Xi slept through today, it is already Yin Shi Chu.

He glanced hastily, ignoring further inspections, quickly put on his court clothes, and ran out of the courtyard while biting his tooth card.

Opening the courtyard door, he stepped out, but stopped abruptly, and raised his hand to pinch the tooth card.

A blue brocade carriage with a silver roof, yellow cover and red curtain was parked in front of the alley. This kind of chariot above the county king can only be seen outside the palace. It is not necessary to distinguish the Song characters embroidered on the brocade.It is the only king with a different surname in Jingdu.

There was no movement from Song Beiming last night, Yan Xi originally thought that this stinky hooligan was still concerned about his reputation.

Seeing that the other party is driving here in a big way today, it is obvious that he does not intend to cover up the shameless act of the majestic county king to harass a small official.

Yan Xi was about to be laughed out of anger.

He didn't even bother to salute, and walked straight past the carriage.

Zi Yuan Tingting approached gracefully, saluted Yan Xi and said: "Lord Xuan, it seems that the morning court is about to be delayed, my little prince has prepared horses and carriages for you, which one do you think you should choose to go to court?"

Yan Xi followed the direction pointed by the other party, and saw a guard waiting there with a black horse at the entrance of the alley, and a green cloth carriage was parked further down.

Yan Xi didn't really want to accept Song Beiming's love, so he stared at the sedan chair embroidered with Song Dynasty, and said through gritted teeth: "Thank you for me, your little prince, I can't afford Beiyuan's fine horses, and I'm not qualified to use official cars, either.Or go on your own way."

Song Beiming's lazy voice came through the car curtain: "Master Xuan is quite self-aware. He knows that ordinary people in Beiyuan can't even buy horses. However, Mr. Xuan also needs to understand that there were pickets and censors in the early court to record attendance.With Master Xuan being at the sixth rank, I'm afraid he won't be able to stand how many times the picket censor has been impeached and demoted."

Yan Xi was so angry that she cursed in her heart - if I'm late, it's not all because of you.

If you rush at the footsteps of ordinary people, you will definitely be late.In fact, running by himself is no slower than riding a horse, and he may still be in time.

It's just that if he arrived at the Meridian Gate earlier than Song Beiming's carriage on foot, it would be unclear; but, riding Song Beiming's horse, he received that kind of favor for nothing, and was short in front of Song Beiming for no reason.

Yan Xi was not happy, but at the same time felt that something was wrong.

Zi Yuan laughed and persuaded in a soft voice: "Master Xuan, borrowing a horse or a cart is just a matter of effort, so don't worry about it. It's important to follow the power when you are in a hurry."

Who understands the times is a hero, Yan Xi didn't intend to be hypocritical, and thanked with a deadpan face: "Then thank you little prince for your generosity."

Zi Yuan led Yan Xi to go forward, and explained in a low voice: "Ma Lie from Beiyuan, if you are not used to riding, you can also take a carriage. It's just that the carriage is not as fast as the horse, and I'm afraid it will be even later."

Yan Xi never thought of hiding the fact that she could ride a horse.

After all, pretending to be poor is already a lot of trouble, and then pretending to be weak will cause all kinds of inconvenience.

He went straight to the white horse.

When he got closer, he saw that the horse was as black as black satin, only the four horseshoes were as white as Sai Xue. He was tall and strong, with sharp eyes and imposing manner. He was a rare steed.

With Yan Xi's current salary, he would not be able to afford one of these horses in his lifetime.In addition, such a tall, mighty and majestic horse is obviously a war horse, and Beiyuan's war horses are the best, and even if you have money, you can't buy them.If Song Beiming refused to give it away, no one would ever want to own one.

Even Yan Jiao, who had just been crowned prince a while ago, asked someone to ask Song Beiming for a horse, but Song Beiming fudged it.

Furthermore, if this horse has meritorious deeds, it may be of a higher rank than Xuan Yin.

Facing such a steed, even a man's blood would boil, and Yan Xi couldn't help but praise him.

After praising, there was another burst of laughter.

Yan Xi's heart was like a mirror, Song Beiming definitely used this horse to confront him on purpose.

But who cares, this is the end of the matter, Yan Xi is about to get on the horse immediately after grabbing the rope.

Zi Yuan patted the horse gently, and reminded in a low voice: "This horse is called 'Northern Wind Shocking Snow', its groom is leading the way, Master Xuan just runs along, just shout for anything, and the groom will take care of it."

"Miss Zi is considerate." Yan Xi bowed his hands as a thank you, got on his horse and asked, "I don't know if the husband that Miss Zi mentioned yesterday is really someone?"

"Of course not. I didn't expect that the original plan would be useless the next day. Mr. Xuan knows everything, and Zi Yuan's nonsense will be a joke." Zi Yuan smiled, "Mr. Xuan is also welcome,Zi Yuan just arrived here, she didn't know the reason, and didn't take good care of her. These were not arranged by Zi Yuan, but were carefully explained by the little prince."

Would Song Beiming have such kindness?

Yan Xi couldn't help it.

Yan Xi was speechless by the last sentence, he turned his head and glanced at Song Beiming's carriage again, wondering what trick the other party had come up with.

Simply don't care so much, and set off on a flattering horse.

Fortunately, Yan Xi rushed to the Meridian Gate when the first drum sounded, and escaped from the picket censor's registration.

It's just that the eunuch of the horse supervisor looked at him and the horse strangely when he received "Northern Wind and Snow".

Yan Xi put on a blank face and didn't explain. When he walked away, he heard the little eunuch and others say: "Do you know? Lord Xuan rode the young prince's horse to go to court today!"

A bystander said in amazement: "The one riding the 'Northern Wind Shocking Snow'?!"

The little eunuch said in shock: "Isn't that right! It has been conferred by the emperor as a first-rank 'General Treading the Clouds' horse! No one will recognize it except the little prince!"

Others excitedly asked: "Then how could it recognize Master Xuan?"

The little eunuch said: "General Tayun is a horse that the young prince personally tamed. Naturally, the young prince has trained him to obey Master Xuan's words."

Others asked again: "Also, the little prince's horse was used by Lord Xuan since he got up early. Could it be that Lord Xuan and the little prince...were together last night?"

The little eunuch said dubiously: "General Tayun and the young prince are inseparable. Last night, the two of them were probably..."

Another person joined in, and said "wow" in a tone: "Keep your voice down, this matter is not for nonsense."

Suddenly the atmosphere became weird.

Yan Xi's face darkened, and he immediately knew that when he went to the court, Quan Jing would know that he rode Song Beiming's horse to the court.

Song Beiming made such a big noise, living next to each other, and deliberately borrowing a horse, for fear that others would not know.

All kinds of things came out of nothing, and the three became tigers, Yan Xi really couldn't argue with it.

Song Beiming was refused to cooperate several times by him, so he simply bypassed him, and everyone in Quan Jingdu misunderstood that the two of them were sneaking into Chen Cang.

Against the probing gaze behind her, Yan Xi silently took the last place in the Ministry of Works team.

He lowered his eyes and sneered, mocking the other party for his tricks.

Even "forced marriage to the top" has been used.

Stinking rogue.

The bell and drum division had struck the second drum, and the censor had already come anxiously to ask when the little Prince Yan Xi would arrive.

Yan Xi was confused by the question, he was shocked by the speed of the rumors, his face was as black as coal, and he said firmly: "I don't know, Lord Yushi should ask the Beiyuan Palacepeople."

No one would believe Yan Xi's answer.

The picket censor looked at him for a long while, hesitant to speak, and finally swallowed, shutting his mouth in more embarrassment than Yan Xi.

Yan Xi almost wanted to jump up and hit someone.

It was not until the third drum was about to be struck that Song Beiming's carriage arrived late.

Song Beiming has always been treated preferentially in Jingdu. Emperor Tianxi usually does not criticize him for trivial matters, and all the officials are concerned about the tragedy of the Song family, so even the picket censor who is known for being critical is not too late for Song Beiming today.Ask more.

Both Xuan Yin and Song Beiming happened to be late, and Xuan Yin was still riding Song Beiming's horse, and the two deliberately arrived one after the other.

This... speaks for itself.

The atmosphere was even weirder, everyone's tacit understanding made Yan Xi's scalp tingle.

The court team is ordered.

The general entered first, followed by the Inner Pavilion, followed by the prince's son-in-law, followed by the five mansions and six departments, and finally the magistrate of Jingdu mansion.

Song Beiming was granted the title of Cong Yi Rank Jianwei General, the highest rank among the military generals stationed in Beijing, and his wheelchair was at the front of the line.

Yan Xi is far away at the end of Ministry of Works, hundreds of people away from Song Beiming.

But when Song Beiming passed the Zuoye Gate and turned his head, Yan Xi clearly knew that Song Beiming was looking at him.

He also knew that Song Beiming must have done it on purpose, and there must be a smirk on the corner of the other party's mouth hidden in the morning darkness.

Evil and fierce.

Yan Xi walked slowly in the lighted place, he lifted his chin, and looked towards the scarlet python robe at the head of the team, facing the man's naked look back, the corners of his lips slightly curled up.

He opened his lips silently, and said charmingly and provocatively: "In this case, please bear with me in the future, Song Mengze."
