After half a month, the Xu Mansion's daily morning and evening card game finally came to an end. It was time to be busy and rest.

Xu Yuanqing stayed in bed until the sun was high and didn't get up until he had nothing to do before he remembered what he had put aside, "I haven't seen Liu Qian for a long time, where did he go?"

"Recently, General Xiang and the others are at the mansion. He came to visit occasionally and then left. He didn't know what he was busy with." Zuo Yue replied while packing up his books.They were scattered all over the place, just in time to sort out the miscellaneous books, when I saw the letter on the case, I realized that it was from Liu Qian, and hurriedly handed it to Xu Yuanqing.

A few days ago, Xu Yuanqing was in high spirits, took it and put it down, and then forgot about it.

Opening the letter and reading it, he already knew what was said. Although they were having fun these few days, they would also mention some things that happened outside when they chatted.

He burned the letter paper, yawned and went to Chang Lao's Shui Ling Courtyard.

After taking his pulse with great concentration, Chang Lao showed joy, took a sip of tea unhurriedly, and said, "The breath is gradually stabilizing, and the internal organs are much more lively than before. I will take the Gu again soon after your body can stand it."insect."

"Thank you, Mr. Chang." Xu Yuanqing chatted with him for a while before leaving. When he got up, he remembered that Mr. Chang had been in the capital for a long time and hadn't been out of Xu's mansion, so he took the initiative to invite him to go out for a walk together.

Chang Lao waved his hands when he heard the words, and took a teacup to look at his turtle, "Forget it, I won't go."

Xu Yuanqing nodded and left. He remembered that one of the things in the list of finding his mother was that he could not disclose the news of Chang Lao's visit to the capital. Maybe there was an old friend in the capital, and he was afraid of meeting them.

Since the last Lantern Festival, Xu Yuanqing hadn't been out of the house again, and now when she stepped out of the mansion, she suddenly felt as if she had passed away.

He didn't sit in a carriage because he had nothing to do, so he walked along the street, because his appearance was too outstanding, like a dazzling red satin in cotton and linen, attracting attention frequently, even the most eager people passing by couldn't help but slow down and look sidewaysWatching, unconsciously admiring.

Xu Yuanqing hid all his ignorance from his eyes, and walked forward indifferently.

Seeing the empty tea stall, sat down to rest, but after a while, the tea stall was full of seats.

Zuo Yue looked at the crowd sullenly. After pouring tea for his family's son, he propped his head to watch. The son drank Chang Lao's medicine and soaked in medicinal baths. For half a month, he only played with General Xiang and the others. He was not as worried as before.He slept well, played well, his thin cheeks grew a little flesh, his complexion became rosy, and the sickness between his brows also dissipated a lot. His beauty has indeed improved to a higher level, and it is normal to be eye-catching.

The eldest son of his family is the most beautiful person in the world.

He nodded in thought, affirming his own thoughts.

Xu Yuanqing looked at him with a serious face, and stared straight at him, his eyes were about to pop out. He understood this expression very well, so he pushed his head away in disgust without asking the reason.

"Where is Xu Shizi going to die? I think his complexion is better than before. I'm afraid he won't die."

"Bah, bah, bah, the national teachers have all retreated and practiced, it must be a mistake because they didn't have enough cultivation at the beginning."

"Then the fate that the national teacher invited..."

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty Rende, don't you know how Xu Shizi's life was saved? I heard that His Majesty and the Queen went to the Daxiangguo Temple to pray for blessings. They are willing to use the phoenix longevity to change the life of the son. Otherwise, why do you think the national teacher is closed?", isn’t it all to change the life of the son.”

"Tsk tsk tsk, this favor, let alone the world, is the only one in hundreds of years."

Along the way, there were constant discussions, and Xu Yuanqing listened silently. He was always curious about how Emperor Chongming would break the deadlock. When he heard the words from Changning, he only thought it was absurd. Now, listening to the words spoken by the people, he was personally on the scene.Sure enough, it is much more interesting than hearsay.

He thought of many ways, but he failed to think of a good way to get him out of the way without leaving any excuses for the fox in the court. He didn't expect that such a vulgar trick would not only put gold on his face, butAfter cleaning himself up, he also cut off the tail of Chaozhong's eager fox, and by the way raised Xu Yuanqing's face.

With one stroke, Emperor Chongming was well scheming.

Zuo Yue heard your distorted face, covered your mouth with your hand and whispered, "My lord, they are so ridiculous."

It doesn't matter if you talk or not, as long as you can block the mouths of many people.

Xu Yuanqing looked at the tea bowl in front of him. A few pieces of unshaped tea leaves were still in the clear water. He raised his hand and tapped the mouth of the bowl lightly.

It is true that Emperor Chongming was scheming, he was born as the second son, and after the death of the eldest son, he inherited the Datong. An emperor with such an orthodox background, his academics are also harmonious between heaven, earth and man, the people are the first, and he respects God but does not flatter God.This kind of trick is more like a cliché that only people with mud legs would use, and it doesn't seem to be the attention of his high-ranking emperor brother-in-law.

Presumably the strategist in this play is someone else.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuanqing raised his eyebrows slightly, the matter is really interesting.

He got up with a flick of his sleeves, he hadn't seen the national teacher for a long time, and he didn't know how his life as a cripple was going, so he calmed down and told Zuo Yue to go back to harness the carriage, and then go to the Duke's mansion to pick him up.

He counted, Liu Qian was with Tang Jiao, and Tang Jiao rushed out angrily when someone else entered the mansion, and drove them away without even offering him a cup of tea.

"Xu Yuanqing, you can handle it all by yourself!"

Xu Yuanqing turned a deaf ear to his fury, raised his hand and turned over his collar, there was a red mark on his neck, and frowned slightly when he saw it, Tang Jiao pushed his hand away in shock, jumped up, and roared, "YouIs there something wrong!"

Xu Yuanqing had mixed feelings in his heart, turned around and left without saying a word, not far from the Duke's Mansion, a masked person appeared in front of him, and then disappeared.

Last time he went there in a hurry and didn't care about his safety. Fortunately, Li Yiming arrived in time, otherwise things would have messed up. He went again this time just in case he wanted to take Liu Qian with him. He didn't expect to find something serious by accident.

After getting into the carriage, Xu Yuanqing knocked on the wall of the carriage, but after a while there was an extra person in the carriage, Zuo Yue jumped up happily, Xu Yuanqing stretched out his hand and pushed Zuo Yue out, telling him to watch outside.

Liu Qian took off his mask and said blankly, "It's not what you think."

Xu Yuanqing didn't intend to ask, since he said no, he didn't. Liu Qian had two fathers, and he was well-informed since he was a child. He didn't need to talk about this, he wanted to talk about other things.

He said sternly: "You go to the Ministry of Punishment, you can't help yourself to this matter, you just pass the word."

After listening to his instructions, Liu Qian nodded expressionlessly, but felt that Xu Shizi was getting more and more powerful, and anyone could take advantage of him.

The carriage was shaking. It was entering the forest path. The two people in the carriage were not affected, and they were still sitting upright.

Liu Qian touched the mask in his hand, thinking about other matters.

Zuo Yue heard the silence inside, guessed that they had finished talking, so he got in by himself, looked at Liu Qian with a smile, "Brother Liu Qian, long time no see."

"En." Liu Qian responded without raising his head, took out a purse from his pocket and threw it to him, turned around and continued to think.

Zuo Yue picked up the purse with a happy face, leaned over, and said a lot of auspicious words in a row, regardless of whether he was answered or not.

Xu Yuanqing disliked his doggy appearance, grabbed his ear and pulled him to sit down, "Doggie."

"Hey." Zuo Yue greeted him with a smile, and Xu Yuanqing was amused by his stupidity.

When he arrived at Daxiangguo Temple, Xu Yuanqing was not as eager as before, and slowly went up the mountain. The little monk who guarded the gate was not someone who knew him before, but when he saw the benefactor came, he respectfully led the way.

Xu Yuanqing asked: "Is the national teacher here?"

The little novice replied with a normal expression, "The national teacher is practicing in seclusion, and there are no pilgrims."

Xu Yuanqing looked sideways at him, staring straight at him for a moment and didn't see anything strange about him. It seemed that he wasn't lying. They probably didn't know about the fact that the national teacher became useless, and they didn't know whether it was the intention of the national teacher or His Majesty's handwriting.careful.

He continued to ask, "Where does the national teacher practice?"

"I hope the benefactor will forgive me, I don't know."

Hearing this, Xu Yuanqing waved his hand and didn't need him to lead the way.

The little novice retreated, but Xu Yuanqing couldn't see Liu Qian around. He thought that he hadn't found the way. Because of the relationship between the national teacher, he didn't have a good impression of this temple, so he walked around the hall.

There were many pilgrims in the temple, and he didn't want to meet someone he was familiar with, so he stopped and went around, but he didn't know where he was.

"Boom!"

The stone fell right under his feet, and he looked around for a figure. He saw Liu Qian climbing on the roof and gestured to him, which probably meant, "There is someone".

Xu Yuanqing dragged Zuo Yue to hide behind the wall, carefully peeping, a white-haired old man came out from inside, looking around cautiously, Xu Yuanqing immediately closed his eyes, and waited for the person to leave before poking his head again.

The old man was hunched over, his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he trembled slightly when he walked.

He frowned slightly, and looked around in the direction the old man was going. There was nothing unusual, but based on his intuition, he always felt that there were many cold eyes in places he couldn't see.

After a long time, the person disappeared, and the sense of crisis that lingered in my heart also disappeared.

Xu Yuanqing asked Zuo Yue to wait for him outside, and he immediately shrank back to the gate that the old man came out from. The inside was spacious, not like ordinary monks' huts.

He knew it in his heart, looked up to see Liu Qian jumped down, and nodded to him in affirmation.

Xu Yuanqing pushed the door in the direction he pointed and entered, a smell of blood came over him, he took a closer look and found that it was the national teacher lying on the bed, his wrist was cut, and the bright red blood fell to the ground like running water.

The national teacher didn't say a word, even if he lost his tongue, a normal person should struggle and hum, but he didn't make a sound.

Xu Yuanqing's scalp was numb, and enduring physical discomfort, he raised his feet and approached the bed, and saw that the national teacher's eye sockets were torn, his mouth was slightly opened, his chest didn't rise and fall, and he was already out of breath.

He died like this!

He thought about the old man who had just left, frowning.

Just as he was about to leave, he saw a white smear in front of the national teacher's leader. He stretched out his hand and pulled it out. It was a handkerchief with blood written on it. Now is not the time to study carefully. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. He put away the handkerchief and left.

At the foot of the mountain, Xu Yuanqing heard the death bell of the temple. He buried his head in the carriage and took out his handkerchief to read the words on it.

He couldn't understand a single word, it wasn't that he didn't know the characters, the characters were not in regular script, they had strange shapes, and he had never seen them before.

Xu Yuanqing looked up at Liu Qian who was entering the carriage, and asked in a muffled voice, "Do you know who that person is?"

Liu Qian: "I seem to have seen it before, but I can't remember it at the moment."

Xu Yuanqing said coldly, "If you can't remember it, look it up."

"En." Liu Qian nodded, looking at the blood book in his hand, confused.

Xu Yuanqing adjusted his mood, and took Zuo Yue out to eat before returning home. Unexpectedly, it was Haishi.

He thought that Xiang Changyuan would leave when he was not there, but when he returned to the courtyard, he was surprised to see him blowing in the porch.

"Shizi." Xiang Changyuan walked up to him a few steps, looked at him anxiously, his eyes wished to stare at him.

Xu Yuanqing had mixed emotions in his heart, but he could feel the chill on his body when he got closer. He stretched out his hand to touch his face, his hands were as cold as ice, and he must have been waiting for a long time.

"Are you heartless?" He scolded him, but he couldn't bear it in his heart, he dragged him into the house and ordered Zuo Yue to make a bowl of ginger soup to drive away the cold.

"I'm fine." Xiang Changyuan was pulled to the stove by him. Seeing that he was safe and sound, his tense nerves were relaxed, and the heat invaded the cold air on his body. His thoughts also relaxed, "Where did the prince go?"

Xu Yuanqing kicked the chair for him to sit down, took off his cloak and put it on him, and replied angrily, "Daxiangguo Temple."

"Oh." Xiang Changyuan rubbed his hands together, staring at him straight.

Xu Yuanqing: "Go home if you don't see me in the future."

Xiang Changyuan frowned, got up and chased him and asked, "My lord, are you unhappy?"

Xu Yuanqing didn't know why she was angry. Seeing him so simple and honest, she felt sad for no reason, and felt that she didn't deserve him to treat him so sincerely.

"To the long run."

"Um?"

Zuo Yue came in with Jiang Tang Da Chi Chi in his hand, seeing the two people's eyes facing each other, the atmosphere was charming, because the atmosphere dissipated as soon as he broke in, he faltered and said, "Your Majesty, Jiang Tang is here."

Xu Yuanqing calmed down, "Drink."

He packed his clothes and went to soak in the medicine bath. The water vapor was thick and the smell of medicine was strong, and it lingered for a long time. He leaned against the wall of the barrel and fell asleep. He felt in a daze that someone was hugging him. The smell was so familiar that he let go of his guard and let it go..

When he opened his eyes again, a face appeared in front of him. He was startled, and that face was obviously also shocked.

At such a close distance, both of them were stunned.

Xiang Changyuan blushed to the base of his ears, he dared not move as if someone had acupointed him, his black and white eyes wandered around, and his Adam's apple rolled.

The breath was intertwined, Xu Yuanqing was dumbfounded when he saw him standing still and moving closer, his eyes rolling around.

Xu Yuanqing came to his senses first, and called his name, "Xiang Changyuan."

When he just woke up, his voice was slightly hoarse and low, with a slightly lingering softness, falling into his ears like a feather and tickling, Xiang Changyuan's mind was blank, and he stared at him blankly.

The red mark on Tang Jiao's neck from yesterday appeared in Xu Yuanqing's mind, and he thought about it uncontrollably. He always dared to think and do, staring at Chang Changyuan's lips, "Come closer."

Xiang Changyuan looked at the stunning face that was close at hand, his eyes were like peach blossoms, his eyebrows were like distant mountains, and his nose was like a side peak. His eyes could not help but move to his lips, which were moist and pink like cherries.

If he wanted to suddenly think of Xiang Changning's words, his thoughts stopped in time and he didn't go any further. He was about to pull away when his head was held down by a hand.

"My son!"

Xu Yuanqing aimed at him trying to escape, and raised his hand to grab his neck. He was curious about what it felt like, pulled him closer, and asked softly, "Aren't you curious?"

Xiang Changyuan's eyes widened, and the blood in his body boiled.

Before he came back to his senses, he saw Xu Yuanqing supporting his body, followed by a momentary cold touch on his mouth, which was fleeting but like an electric shock and thunder, making his mind go blank.

Xu Yuanqing let him go, wiped the quilt a few times with his hand, pushed the puppet-like figure away, and thought carefully about the smell just now.

It seems that there is nothing to feel except the rapid heartbeat.

"To the long run."

Xu Yuanqing glanced sideways, flicked Changyuan, mechanically turned his head to look at himself, and before he opened his mouth again, he showed a terrified expression and rushed out.

"..."

Xu Yuanqing was dumbfounded, touched his mouth, kiss so disgusting?
