The prison of the Ministry of punishment.

"Ah!" A soft snort sounded like anger, resentment, and teasing came to my ears. In the dark and cold prison cell, where the criminal law is heavy, there are often all kinds of strange screams. This is the first time I have encountered such an ordinary.

There was the sound of cloth being torn from the room, as well as the unbearable sound of joyous intercourse, which was endless and fascinating.

The prisoners had never encountered such absurd and exciting things before, they all stopped talking at the same time, craned their necks to see, and listened carefully with their ears pricked up.

Chen Wenjing turned pale and turned to leave after hearing the sound.

It turns out that the reason why the son asked him to interrogate Duke Huaiguo today is for this reason. As Xuan Pinghou said, the son has clear grievances and grievances, and he is an excellent child. Even if he makes plans, there is room for him.

"My lord, Mr. Shen is in poor health. Mr. Xiao has entered the palace. I'm afraid you will be the only one involved in the interrogation."

The official reported back, Chen Wenjing frowned, Xiao Zheng has always been wise and safe, and it is not surprising that he entered the palace to test His Majesty's thoughts, but Shen Yuze is the prince's man, and he is very concerned about Lu Qiuling's affairs.Mr. Gong worked for him last night, and he was suddenly absent due to illness, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

Seeing that he was displeased, the petty official bowed his knees to lead the way, and after seeing that there was no one around, he whispered, "Just then, the villain saw Master Shen coming, but he just went back suddenly for some reason."

Hearing this, Chen Wenjing was even more puzzled.

"When did you leave?"

The little official replied in a low voice: "It's not time."

It was the time when the crown prince came, if he hadn't left, then he would have gone to the prison with him to inspect, and he would have known the immorality of the crown prince and Lu Qiuling in the prison...

Chen Wenjing racked his brains to think, but he couldn't come up with a clue. Shen Yuze was a pawn in the prince's layout.

The spring breeze brushed over his official robe and broke his thoughts.

The spring breeze is cold, the flags and flags of Suzaku Street are fluttering, and the wind sweeps away the white heat of the grains and miscellaneous grains, comforting the thousands of creatures who have survived the cold winter.

The flower buds of the pear tree swayed slightly, and they couldn't wait to shake up their unformed figure, exuding a slight fragrance.

Shen Yuze didn't wear official uniform, white clothes were more snowy, tall and tall, his eyes were cold and sharp, showing his sharpness.

He walked slowly under the pear tree, faced Xu Yuanqing face to face, and stared at him with extremely strange eyes.

"What is the prince thinking?" His lips were slightly thin, holding the corners of his mouth, with an aggressive and stern demeanor on his body, he answered unhurriedly, "Why do you think I'm here?"

Xu Yuanqing looked up at him slightly, and Shen Yuze was domineering, as if he had a winning ticket.

He quickly restrained his thoughts, his expression was indifferent, and his eyes were even more indifferent. He shook his head slightly, raised his hand to straighten the cloak on his body, got up with a flick of his sleeves and sat down on the stone bench under the tree, and poured a glass unhurriedlyTea.

The aroma of tea was overflowing, he hesitated for a moment, poured a cup for the uninvited guest and pushed it aside as a signal.

Shen Yuze is indeed the chosen one in the original book, even though he has changed so many plots, there is still nothing he can do.

Xu Yuanqing took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, looked slightly sideways at the person standing in the breeze, and parted his red lips, "What I think is that I was too anxious."

Perhaps recently his attention was only on Gu poison, and he didn't pay much attention to him, and he was included in the calculation without making a perfect plan. He was too hasty.

Looking at each other, Shen Yuze lowered his eyes and sneered, and slowly approached to sit down, his eyes fell on the teacup in front of him.

Like Shizi, he is also extra cautious about the things he enters.

He asked in a deep voice, "Does the prince have to kill me?"

must it?Xu Yuanqing also asked himself this question. At first, he just wanted to change some plots so that he could live a good life and the people around him could live a good life.

He had indeed robbed him of his luck by virtue of the advantage of holding the script in his hand, which made his road to the blue sky repeatedly blocked.

Xu Yuanqing was also entangled. After all, Shen Yuze was a hero he had admired sincerely through a book, but human nature is like this. When bad luck is not entangled with him, he talks loudly. Only when he is frustrated repeatedly will he complain about the injustice of heaven.

He has become Xu Shizi, the most useless sick child in the capital. He is plagued by various diseases, and it is much more difficult to survive than others. How can he feel sorry for others.

Xu Yuanqing rubbed the cup wall with his slender fingers, calmed down, and looked up at him, "Master Shen also hates me to the bone?"

"Yes." Shen Yuze suddenly tore off his mask, and admitted frankly, with hatred in his eyes, "My son will not die, I can't sleep or eat."

Xu Yuanqing: "Me too."

"I've been thinking about one thing." Shen Yuze stood up, arranging his robe, while swaying under the pear tree with awe-inspiring expression, "I have the talent to govern the world, and I want to be a minister of the Ming Dynasty and create an enlightened and prosperous world."

Xu Yuanqing looked at him with his head propped up, his expression indifferent, indifferent to his rhetoric.

"I was born in the market place, with no power or power, and with the determination to serve my family and country, I went through the officialdom. I failed many times! Xu Shizi, do you think this world is wronging me, or is it because I haven't met yet?"

Xu Yuanqing was about to drink tea when he called his name, and looked up at him lazily, "If you want to find someone to cheer you up, turn left."

Shen Yuze, who was upright like a rainbow and stretched his spirits: "..."

It seems that Xu Shizi has the ability to piss people off without bloodshed. It seems that it is not a rumor.

With Xu Yuanqing's leisurely demeanor, he calmly added the sword, "You talk so much nonsense, what do you want to lay the groundwork for? How difficult is it for you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment? Everyone who blocks your way deserves to die?"

"Yes and no." Shen Yuze quickly stabilized his mind, not being guided by his indifference, and lowered his eyes to look down at him, "Many times, I have taken advantage of the right time and place.There is an accident, next time!"

Hearing this, Xu Yuanqing's expression changed slightly, and his heart became slightly tense.

"It's as if there is an invisible hand beside me, easily undulating the situation I have worked so hard to set up." Shen Yuze raised his foot and approached him, and he was within arm's length of him, with the scent of cold fragrance floating on his body.

"This feeling has become more obvious since I came to the capital." His voice was desolate, and his words were harsh, "I have painstakingly calculated the layout and calculated every step repeatedly. I even forget about the good and evil of human nature, but I still have no way out.You can go!"

He wrote articles, poems and paintings according to the preferences of celebrities and civil servants in the capital, and begged for help every day, but all of them failed.

When he lost all his wealth and was still living in the streets and alleys, only the good and evil Prime Minister Jiang offered him an olive branch.

Jiang Cheng was very wary of him, and refused to recommend him. He had no intentions with his servants in the Jiang residence, and he still had no future.

His ambition gradually deviates from the indifference of human feelings, and his thoughts become more sensitive. He hates the eyes staring at him imperceptibly, and the hands blocking his way.

Be careful day after day, deduce and calculate.

Finally got out of the way.

Shen Yuze thought about this, his eyes widened with anger, and he gritted his teeth, "What I want to do is to be a capable minister who will last forever, but now I want to be with such a bastard as Shen Qiwen?"

His eyes were red with hatred.

Xu Yuanqing's brows and eyes moved slightly, her heart beating like a drum, but she still looked at him calmly.

"so what?"

"For a long time, I thought that the sky was against me. Until I met Shizi for the first time, I always felt that I had seen it somewhere. I thought about it day and night, racked my brains, and finally thought of the source."

Shen Yuze smiled ghostly, and stared at him suspiciously, "Has your son ever been to a ruined temple under Mingshan Mountain in Xuzhou?"

Hearing this, Xu Yuanqing was stunned, even though he tried his best to control it, the surprised look in his eyes still revealed his disbelief, a crazy idea popped up in his mind, he and Shen Yuze would never die, this person is thoughtful, tootoo scary.

Five years ago, Xu Yuanqing left the capital. At that time, he was still in a sickly body. He used cover-ups to deceive everyone and went to Mr. Xu alone.

He took the time to go to the ruined temple, and rescued Liu Qian before Shen Yuze, and since then he has gained a capable general.

That was the first time he saw Shen Yuze for real. He hid behind the statue and looked at him cautiously, with mixed emotions in his heart. To avoid trouble, he didn't meet him.

At that time, when Shen Yuze was frustrated, he disrespected the gods and insulted the statue for a long time. Some people who came to rest in the ruined temple stopped him..

Xu Yuanqing took advantage of the absence and dragged Liu Qian out. He was sick and weak, and he stopped breathing after hiding behind the haystack.

At night, Shen Yuze went back and forth, sneaking into the temple with a short knife in his hand, and soon there was a wailing sound in the temple, blood sprayed, and the gods were stained with blood.

Shen Yuze laughed wildly, held the torch to light the temple, and laughed like a ghost in the flames.

Xu Yuanqing will never forget Shen Yuze's sinister and resentful eyes in the firelight, he scolded the world like a madman, and vowed to kill everyone who stood in his way.

It was also from then on that he had shadows and fears for Shen Yuze.

Whether it was the fact that he had stolen out of the capital, or that he had witnessed Shen Yuze murdering innocent people, he dared not speak up and buried all these things in his heart.

He thought that no one would know, but when Shen Yuze mentioned it, the monstrous flames of that night and the innocent people who were killed in the temple appeared in his mind.

His heart was clenched tightly, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

"I heard later that there was a dying knight-errant in the temple in those few days, but I counted them in detail. The corpses in the temple were all ordinary people."

Shen Yuze's gaze was as ghostly as that day, and he stared straight at him, "So the knight was probably rescued by someone, the prince said, how could it be such a coincidence?"

He leaned slightly and approached Xu Yuanqing.

Reflexively, Xu Yuanqing clenched the teacup, lowered her eyes not to meet his gaze, and was not oppressed by him.

"Your Majesty is indeed cautious, but you are not in good health, and you have brought a disabled person with you. It is a long way from Xuzhou to the capital, so there will definitely be clues."

Shen Yuze didn't investigate carefully at the beginning. He only had a strange feeling after meeting Xu Yuanqing, the feeling of finding the end of a thread among the densely packed balls of thread. He asked someone to investigate what happened in Xuzhou back then.

Xu Yuanqing's appearance is outstanding, and it is not an appearance that can be easily forgotten. As long as you put in a little effort, it will naturally be traceable.

Sure enough, he caught the thread.

Finally, he solved his troubles for many years. It turned out that those invisible hands were Xu Shizi's sharp jointed hands.

After Shen Yuze finished speaking, his eyes returned to normal, with a sarcasm in the corner of his mouth, he asked meaningfully, "Does Xu Shizi think I didn't guess correctly?"

Thinking about it, Xu Yuanqing's veins bulged in his hand holding the cup. He slightly bent his legs to relax himself, looked up at him, and asked tentatively, "You already planned to break the game before you guessed me?"

As he said, he only revealed the answer after seeing himself, so did he climb up to Shen Qiwen silently only with his sensitive perception?

Shen Yuze let out a "puchi" laugh, the spring breeze plucked his black hair like catkins, he opened the corner of his clothes and sat down, patiently answering his questions.

"I made a bold guess at the time. Those eyes were not heaven's eyes, but human eyes with strong martial arts. He is everywhere, but he can't peep into my heart, so... I quietly passed on the news, trying to do something.I asked someone to do it, and I am still a little-known staff member in the Jiang family."

Xu Yuanqing couldn't help laughing when he heard the words, the hand that was holding the cup suddenly loosened, his white joints slowly turned back to blood, he tapped the cup with his fingertips, his smile became more intense, his peach blossom eyes turned into crescent moons.

Shen Yuze froze with a smile, and the cheerleaders looked at him.

Xu Yuanqing laughed for a long time before he stopped, raised his hand to wipe away the tears from his laughter, his eyes became brighter and clearer after the tears washed, he raised his hand to straighten his hair that was blown by the wind, he stood up slowly with his hands on the stone table, condescendinggazed at him.

The smile stopped abruptly, and his expression suddenly turned sharp, "You think you have fought against the sky, but in fact, the sky is helping you."

"You speak generously and want to be an upright official? Shen Yuze, you have lived so far that you dare not even admit what kind of person you are! You have always been a selfish person, what you want is power,It's fame and fortune!" Xu Yuanqing confessed all the truths he dared not reveal, "You should thank Shen Qiwen for setting up a ladder for you, otherwise you would have no chance to yell at me here!"

The four eyes met, anger and hatred intertwined.

"You know how Xiang Changyuan treats you, but what about you? You can only use him and be jealous of him. You wish he could be your stepping stone to the top, but if he disagrees with you, you will abandon him like a shoe and add insult to injury."

Thinking of Xiang Changyuan dying in the rain, Xu Yuanqing's dislike for Shen Yuze increased.

Up to now, the two of them have torn their faces apart, exposing all their hatred, and they no longer need to pretend to be hypocritical.

"Bang!" A clear sound of broken porcelain broke the stalemate between the two. Shen Yuze smashed the tea cup on the table. He was so angry that he lost the dignity of Zhilan Yushu, pointing at him and asked angrily, "Even so! I and youWhat hatred is there!"

Xu Yuanqing sneered, "You're so smart, you can figure it out yourself."

After Shen Yuze knew that Xu Yuanqing had been watching him for so many years, he tried his best to guess. He counted the evil things he had done one by one, and none of them could beat Xu Shizi who was far away in the capital, so why Xu Yuanqing would embarrass him and plot against him, monitor him, he is incomprehensible.

He frowned, clenched his teeth, and showed his killing intent.

Xu Yuanqing turned his back and shouted coldly, "Liu Qian! See off the guests!"

Liu Qian flashed out like a ghost, standing beside Xu Yuanqing, his face covered by a silver mask, his long sword in its scabbard pointed at the gate of the courtyard, the meaning of chasing away guests was self-evident.

Shen Yuze raised his eyes to look at him, and soon knew his identity. If Xu Yuanqing hadn't taken the first step, he should have met Liu Qian first. With his temperament, when he saw someone dressed as a knight in the rivers and lakes, he would definitely take action to save himUse later.

However, Xu Yuanqing was one step ahead, so that he has been under surveillance for many years, and his ambition is hard to repay.

He parted his red lips lightly, and called his name playfully, "Liu Qian."

Liu Qian looked at him indifferently, and shouted coldly, "Get out."

Shen Yuze shook his head, glanced at Xu Yuanqing at him, and walked away.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stopped, turned to face him, and asked meaningfully, "What is the difference between Xu Shizi saving you and me saving you?"

Just then Liu Qian had been secretly protecting Xu Yuanqing. He listened to their conversation verbatim, and he was full of doubts. From the conversation, what he could confirm was that Xu Yuanqing went there on purpose for him, because he had never met him before., traveled thousands of miles to rescue him.

And Shen Yuze went to the ruined temple by accident. If Xu Shizi hadn't been there, then he would have seen Shen Yuze first.

Liu Qian paused, looking at him with a rather complicated expression.

The cold wind blows, the white clothes float, and the blue hair flutters.

The cold fragrance is lingering, and the pear branches tremble slightly.

Shen Yuze suddenly turned around and went back, striding towards Xu Yuanqing, blocking his way, with a look of enlightenment in his eyes, and a smile full of relief.

"If the son can tell fortunes!"

He said these words without beginning or end, but Xu Yuanqing froze all over.

In just a moment, Shen Yuze could think of any absurd possibility.

"If the prince knew my fate earlier and could measure my chance, he would have snatched my luck in advance and cut off my luck."

Shen Yuze couldn't hide his excitement. He stared at Xu Yuanqing like a torch, not daring to let him change a bit. Seeing the sudden change in his expression, he knew that his absurd guess was in the right direction.no threat.

He pressed Xu Yuanqing's arm excitedly, his eyes widened, "Does all this make sense?"

Xu Yuanqing was terrified, and shook his hand away and stepped back. Liu Qian raised his hand to support him, and after he stood still, he stepped forward, grabbed the excited Shen Yuze, and lifted him vigorously, flinging freelyThrow it over the wall.

He turned around to see Xu Yuanqing's pale face, and handed him tea.

Xu Yuanqing sat down on the stone table exhausted, took a sip of herbal tea to stabilize his mind, and the guard beside him laughed at himself.

"Some of what he said was true."

Liu Qian is not stupid, he has heard so many words, he already has the answer in his heart, Xu Yuanqing didn't treat him as a tool without emotion, it's better to tell the truth now.

Liu Qian looked down at him with his usual expression, and told him in a deep voice, "As far as I am concerned, you are better."

It was true that his life in the ruined temple was hanging by a thread, it was true that Xu Yuanqing rescued him, it was true that he took him back to the capital after all kinds of hardships, it was true that he had been given food and clothing for so many years, and gold and silver treasures.

His eyes are shallow, he only remembers what happened, and can't think about what didn't happen.

"Tsk." Xu Yuanqing was moved by his words, and his depressed mood eased a little. Thinking about Shen Yuze treating him as a ruthless killer in the original book, making him a tool for the superior, and thinking about how he has been with him for so many years.The wearing speed is better than some young masters from high-ranking families, even if he often neglects his duties, he will be pampered more, this treatment is many times better than that of him and Shen Yuze.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, and said without shame, "I dare not say, Shen Yuze is not a good guy anyway."

Liu Qian rolled his eyes, avoided the broken porcelain on the ground, and glanced at the roof, "Shen Yuze has masters by his side."

Xu Yuanqing frowned slightly, "Huh?"

"Shicai has been guarding on the roof all the time. If you don't pay attention, it's hard to detect the breath." Liu Qian pointed to the roof, and finally added with a little reluctance, "I'm not the opponent."

No wonder Shen Yuze was able to climb up to Shen Qiwen silently. It turned out that there was a master secretly helping him.

Xu Yuanqing was puzzled, "You didn't notice it when you were monitoring him before?"

"I didn't get close when marking people, and I was far away, so I didn't touch that master, and I didn't notice it."

Xu Yuanqing nodded, raised his hand and squeezed his brows. Shen Yuze is an out-and-out lunatic. He originally wanted to lure him to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, so that he could witness the absurd things about Shen Qiwen and Lu Qiuling.Easy, on the other hand, after Emperor Chongming found out, in order to cover up the prince's wantonness, he would definitely restrain the insider, and then Shen Yuze's future would be ruined, killing two birds with one stone.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuze sensed his intentions and came directly to confront him. If he hadn't been mentally prepared and his body has recuperated well recently, he might vomit blood and faint in a hurry.

That being the case, Shen Yuze and him declared war on the surface. Xu Yuanqing immediately adjusted his mood, stood up and walked into the house, and told him as he walked, "Take the jade pendant that my sister gave me, and tell my sister not to read me recently.", to signal her to protect herself, no matter what happens, don't speak for me."

"The queen is afraid..."

Empress Xu knew that Xu Shizi indulged and doted on the capital. Liu Qian and Xu Yuanqing had also known for many years that the two brothers and sisters had a deep relationship, and they both cared about each other.

Xu Yuanqing naturally thought about this, he rummaged through the box to find the jade pendant and handed it to him, "She won't be impulsive if you bring a word."

Liu Qian took the jade pendant and listened intently.

Xu Yuanqing's eyes were soft, and he said softly, "My father and mother have arrived in Yongzhou, everything is going well, I hope she will cherish herself."

Hearing this, Liu Qian understood, agreed and left.

In the twinkling of an eye, Zuo Yue fell asleep in the kitchen during the day, woke up, rubbed his eyes, and hurriedly went to find Xu Yuanqing, bumped into someone in a hurry, felt dizzy, and apologized hastily.

"Why are you so stupid?"

The voice was familiar, he covered his head and took a closer look, it was actually Xiao Yu'an, and there was another person beside him, it was Xiang Changyuan, it was really strange that they came together.

Xiang Changyuan was busy going to meet people to signal and took a step ahead. Zuo Yue was about to leave when a big hand covered his head.

Xiao Yu'an smiled, "Xiang Changyuan is in a hurry to see his sweetheart, why are you getting in the way?"

"My family's eldest son hasn't taken any medicine yet!" Zuo Yueyuan circled around to avoid his hand, and was anxious to go, but Xiao Yu'an grabbed him with one hand, and he couldn't break free.

"Hiss~" Xu Yuanqing drank the medicine in one gulp, his painful facial features were protesting vigorously, he shook his shoulders, and saw a person entered the door, wearing black clothes showing his waist, he came to him in a few steps, and quickly took it out of his arms.Sugar came out and peeled it into his mouth.

The bitterness was dissipated by the sweetness, Xu Yuanqing's frowning brows stretched out, seeing the smiling person in front of him, he asked, "Is it so bitter?"

As he spoke, Xiang Changyuan raised the bowl to his nose and smelled it, then took it back with a slight frown.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanqing smiled, "Old Chang has changed the prescription, which is several times bitterer than before."

Xiang Changyuan found the teapot on the table and poured him a cup of tea, sat next to him, looked at him with a smile on his head.

Xu Yuanqing swallowed the sugar and sipped the tea to dilute the taste of bitterness and sweetness in his mouth. Seeing his smiling face, he wondered, "Is there anything good?"

"I went to the palace today to see the empress."

"My sister?"

"She secretly told me a secret and told me not to tell you." Xiang Changyuan stared at him, pretending to be inscrutable.

Xu Yuanqing's smile was amused by his small man's triumphant appearance, and he felt much better because of Shen Yuze's depression. He was a little curious, "What secret did you tell me?"

Empress Xu cared for him very much, and always told him frankly, this mystery made him itchy.

Xiang Changyuan raised his chin slightly, "Do you want to know?"

Xu Yuanqing: "You talk about the conditions first."

"The empress said it's okay to tell you, but you have to do one thing."

Cooperating with them to plot against him, both of them are his dearest and most loved ones, Xu Yuanqing followed their childish temperament and asked gently, "All ears."

Xiang Changyuan: "If you take the time to make a kite and send it to the palace yourself, the empress will tell you."

"Snapped!"

The teacup in Xu Yuanqing's hand fell, and the tea splashed everywhere, his clothes were completely stained with tea, Xiang Changyuan hurriedly swept away the tea leaves on his clothes, anxious to see if they were scalded.

Xu Yuanqing's heart was turbulent, he grabbed Xiang Changyuan's hand, tears glistened, "Xiang Changyuan, my sister is pregnant?"

Xiang Changyuan scratched his head, "Ah! Your Majesty guessed it?"

Xu Yuanqing wept with joy, took Xiang Changyuan into his arms, and hugged him tightly.

My sister finally got her wish.

Xiang Changyuan reached out to wrap his arms around him, and patted his shoulder lightly.

After Xu Yuanqing's mood stabilized, he let go of him with a dignified expression.

As an uncle, he wants to give a great gift to his nephew who has not yet met, so that the culprit who caused him to come late to this world would be better off than dead.

Xiang Changyuan raised his hand to wipe away his tears, and called him softly, "Senior?"

Xu Yuanqing looked down at him, and asked in a low voice, "Who else knows about this?"

Xiang Changyuan also followed him, and replied in a low voice, "Your Majesty said that she kept your words in mind and kept silent. The doctor who diagnosed the pulse was a trustworthy imperial physician. I only told you and me about this matter, and His Majesty didn't know about it."

Xu Yuanqing nodded reassuringly, that's the best, and it's best not to say anything until he doesn't break Qi Wensheng's path.
