After wearing the book, the regent quit.

After a sleepless night, Shen Mu sorted out all the recent events in his mind last night.

He never shy away from any emotions in his heart, and it is his consistent style to face and solve problems; that day in the back garden, when he repeatedly looked for Xiao Fan's shadow in the crowd, Shen Mu clearly realized how much he cared about Xiao Fan , should have crossed the "friend" line.

The young man buried himself in his neck and shoulders, rubbing his head lightly, as if he didn't realize his current behavior, and he was completely different from the one who told him to get out with a cold voice just now.

It was as if he didn't realize that his behavior at the moment was no different from acting like a baby in Shen Mu's eyes.

This realization made Shen Mu feel worried for a while.

Xiao Fan has no doubts about his dependence on Shen Mu, but what he is not sure about is whether a person like Xiao Fan, who often has obstacles in emotional cognition and expression, can distinguish the difference between "family and friendship" and "love".

So he had to ask first.

Being embraced by the tall young man, Shen Mu raised his hand to touch Xiao Fan's back, and asked straightforwardly, "Xiao Fan, do you like me hugging you like this?"

The moment his fingertips touched the corner of his clothes, the young man immediately remained motionless like a straight steel plate. He held his breath and froze. He couldn't feel the slight rise and fall of his chest, but the hands around his waist were exerting a little force.

Shen Mu knew that he was pushing the person too hard at once, so he raised his hand and patted the person's back to comfort him; Xiao Fan couldn't breathe, so he had no choice but to tug on the young man's clothes, and gasped slightly hastily, "You Take it easy, I have no other intentions—”

"......like."

"like."

The hands on the waist slowly left, and Shen Mu, who was breathing heavily, raised his eyes to meet Xiao Fan's eyes, his dark pupils were burning, and Shen Mu's beautiful face was reflected in his eyes, the eyes were pure fiery.

Looking at those eyes that were so pure that there was no trace of impurity in desire, Shen Mu sighed speechlessly, thinking that Xiao Fan is really young and has not been involved in love/things, and he has hinted so obviously, that he is just being forced , replied two words bluntly and awkwardly.

It doesn't matter, everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as he teaches step by step, Xiao Fan will not always be confused.

After finally taking a breath, Shen Mu raised his fingers to straighten Xiao Fan's slightly messy neckline, said silently three times not to scare the child away with too much force, and said carefully, "Since your majesty is satisfied with this gift, can I also ask your majesty for a gift?" How about asking for a gift?"

Xiao Fan was teased long ago and couldn't speak, his heart was beating wildly and his mind went blank. Hearing the words, he just murmured indiscriminately, and didn't realize what Shen Mu said at all.

"Actually, during festivals in Chen's hometown, relatives and friends also have a special way of expressing blessings."

Staring closely at Xiao Fan's eyes, and tentatively leaning forward a little bit, Shen Mu took every trace of the young man's facial expression into his eyes, and when he confirmed that he was not feeling any discomfort, he turned his head slightly, and pressed his lips lightly on his right cheek. one touch.

Withdrew after the kiss, Shen Mu asked softly in a steady voice, "Does Your Majesty feel like this—"

The hand that was too late to let go was suddenly grabbed, Xiao Fan clasped his wrist and pulled Shen Mu forward, suddenly became angry for some reason, his black eyes were deep and his masseter muscles tightened, and he whispered in his ear in a bad tone,

"What bullshit relatives and friends, stay away from those people."

"..."

"That's not what I asked." It's no wonder that everyone said that the king's heart is unpredictable. At this moment, Shen Mu deeply understood, he frowned helplessly, trying to free his wrist, "You don't even feel like me—"

"Shen Zinian, please stay away from those people."

Lowering his head and lowering his eyes, Xiao Fan put his free hand directly on the back of Shen Mu's head, his forehead touched, and his two breaths intertwined, only to hear Xiao Fan almost gnashing his teeth, "If you disobey the emperor's order, I will punish you severely. "

Pupils shrank, and Shen Mu was stunned by Xiao Fan's ferocious eyes. After a long while, he came back to his senses, and responded obediently with his lowered eyes: "... Got it."

This inexplicable fire lasted for a long time, until Shen Mu checked the number of fireworks required for the Hua Chao Festival with Xiao Fan, the gloom on the young man's face was still lingering, his eyes were dark and his lips were tight, his cruel eyes wished to see The memorial is stared at.

Fortunately, the young man was still clear-headed, and after quickly solving the problem, he talked about the frequent harassment/harassment of Yu Kingdom before Shen Mu came in.

Swiping a brush and writing the word "rejected" on the memorial, Xiao Fan picked up his lips and sneered, "Those old and cunning people really think that Gu is easy to fool, and how many benefits they have benefited from behind the scenes, do they really think Gu doesn't know?"

Shen Mu kept silent and did not refute. There are many interests involved in the border between the two countries, and the topics involved are extremely sensitive. As long as it does not affect the interests of the country too much, the world's sophistication will make most people turn a blind eye and turn a blind eye. By the way, it is convenient for themselves .

Just like Chu Puyu's smuggled sale of arms, the accounts presented are full of loopholes, but no one has ever exposed them in these years—it's just that they dare not mess with the Chu family behind him.

"Uprooting is easy to hurt muscles and bones." Shen Mu looked down at the memorials spread out on the table, narrowing his eyes slightly, "Your Majesty might as well try this trick of killing everyone."

Xiao Fan looked at him curiously, "Is there anyone in Yafu's mind?"

With a slight smile, Shen Mu nodded confidently, "Yes."

After leaving the imperial study room, Shen Mu, who was going to the Ministry of War, saw a pink and tender Aqing in a cloth shirt in front of the palace gate, and a petite girl beside him.

Seeing Shen Mu coming, the girl dressed as a servant hurried up to greet her, and said softly that his lady wanted to ask Shen Mu for a favor.

Chu Pingting asked him to help?

"Actually, I'm helping the lord yourself." Chu Pingting dressed as a man smiled and offered Shen Mu a bowl of wine in a noisy wine shop. "The sake here is very famous. You might as well try it."

Chu Pingting looked pretty, but Shen Mu thought of her embarrassment of staying in Mingcheng Palace after being drunk, so she declined lightly, "Miss Chu might as well just say what you need me to do."

"Chu Puyu has been asking who the 'noble person' is in the adults, and Pingting is really upset." The smile on the girl's face faded, and she said calmly, "Why don't we think of a way to get rid of him?" drop it."

Chu Pingting was born to a concubine, in the eyes of Chu Puyu, her half-brother, and even her biological father, Chu An, she was born as a tool for marriage.

Chu Pingting, who originally wanted to escape, but now has murderous intentions, must have discovered something else.

"Chu Puyu has been selling arms at high prices in secret all these years." Chu Pingting took out a thick record book from her pocket and pushed it to Shen Mu. "I remember every account clearly."

Flipping through the pages casually, Shen Mu couldn't help being secretly startled; the records given to him by the Ministry of War can only prove that the amount of ammunition used by the Chu family is not accounted for, but in Chu Pingting's record book, there are detailed records of Chu Pu's It is clear at a glance when and where Yu exchanged arms with whom.

He secretly sighed in his heart, but Shen Mu returned the booklet with dissatisfaction on his face, "Just this alone, he can't get rid of Chu Puyu; at most he will suffer from prison, and he will be released in two days."

"If you are really determined to be ruthless, I would like to mention eight words to you." Shen Mu glanced at her indifferently, and said slowly, "The relatives are rampant and powerful."

The Empress Dowager Chu was in charge of the harem at the back of the Chu family, and General Chu was in charge of the military in front, but neither of these two people could have a direct influence on Xiao Fan, because they would not be able to sit on the throne no matter what.

But Xiao Huan has this qualification.

"So my lord wants to get rid of the Ninth Prince together? But the Ninth Prince has been far away from the government these years, and there should be no enmity with my lord—" Chu Pingting understood everything, looked at Shen Mu with deep meaning, and raised her hand to point upwards. pointed,

"Could it be that my lord is for the one above?"

Shen Mu smiled and said nothing; no matter how law-abiding Xiao Huan was in the last life, judging from this life, youth is like a hidden thunder that can explode anytime and anywhere, too uncontrollable.

He must not let such a person who gathered methods, ambitions and threats stay by Xiao Fan's side forever.

"Chu Puyu hasn't returned to Beijing for a long time, but he has written a lot of letters with the Ninth Prince." Chu Pingting smiled, looked at Shen Mu with envy, and sighed softly, "Your Excellency It's nice of him to be so caring."

"Just do what you can, don't force it," Shen Mu put the booklet away, poured a glass of warm water to moisten his lips and drank it, "I will personally send you away from the capital when the time comes, and I won't let anyone from the Chu family find you." you."

"Don't come back after leaving the capital, and cherish this hard-won freedom."

"That Pingting thanked the lord in advance, and I wish you and that love will last forever." The girl drank a bowl of wine with her neck back, a sly look flashed in her eyes, "On the day of the Flower Festival, it was the first time that Pingting Smile at people."

When mentioning Xiao Fan, Shen Mu thought of the inappropriate conversation someone had with him in the morning, and smiled coldly in his heart, "What kind of love is it, it's just relatives and friends."

With a laugh, the girl obviously didn't believe it, "Why do relatives and friends kiss each other's foreheads?"

At this time there were hurried footsteps outside the house, Ah Qing pushed the door open and came in, whispering in Shen Mu's ear: It turned out that Xiao Fan went out to the palace to look for him after finishing his work in the afternoon. kill over here.

After saying goodbye to the girl with a few words, Shen Mu went downstairs and just walked around the corner when he saw Xiao Fan standing beside the carriage waiting from a distance, unaware of how inappropriate it was for him to appear in the market at will as a king.

The two eyes collided, and the young man walked over with long legs, glanced coldly at the noisy environment around him, and asked aggressively, "Which 'relative or friend' is Yafu spending the festive season with?"

"It's just drinking." As soon as "relatives and friends" was mentioned, Shen Mu became angry, folded his arms and raised his eyes, "Does Your Majesty even care about these things?"

"You can drink." Xiao Fan's black eyes were heavy, and after a while he reached out to pull Shen Mu's wrist, but his tone gradually weakened, "But we have to drink it after we get home."

"......Is it ok."
