Looking up at the familiar face that is no longer familiar, Qi Rong and his own complexion is fair, and now it blends with the white snow on the mountain, black eyebrows, red lips, and brocade clothes.

There seemed to be some comfort in Jinshang's eyes, and he said slowly: "As you like." After a pause, he said: "The third prince of the Xia Kingdom escaped on the way back to the country."

"What?" I didn't respond for a while.

"Xia Xun has returned to Chang'an."

"Escape privately?"

The sky began to snow finely and finely, Jinshang reached out to brush the snowflakes from my hair, and said in a low voice, "Xia Xun is back to look for you again."

"So Brother Huang still wants to continue with the previous plan?" I raised my head slightly.

"Gu just let you know." Holding a wisp of my hair floating on my chest in his hand, he said in a deep voice, "If you want to go with him to Xia Guogu, I don't blame you."

The legs grow on me, and I can go wherever I want, without anyone's permission or decision.

Just hearing Jinshang's tone, you know that Jinshang is being affectionate, the former me is now Jinshang.It's just that I was passionate about myself before he was imprisoned, and now I am passionate about myself after I ascended the throne.

I used to give my heart to him wishful thinking, but now he thinks he is my concern and concern because he thinks he is smart.

I looked into his red eyes and said, "Your brother is from the state of Qi, so he should die and be buried in the state of Qi."

"This is what you said!"

I said again: "Besides, my younger brother is King Qin of Qi!" After speaking, I turned around and prepared to leave.After hearing the north wind whistling for a while, the voice of snowflakes falling in the mountains came from behind: "Gu will protect you."

I couldn't breathe when I heard this, I turned around and looked at him in the snow: "Back then when the emperor first ascended to the Great Treasure, he imprisoned me in a hurry. It would be so shameless!"

Jinshang choked up for a moment: "Back then... Gu had no other choice."

Instead, I laughed: "Brother Huang couldn't protect Brother Huang at that time, and he can't protect Brother Huang now, and he won't be able to protect Brother Huang even more in the future. Brother Huang, think about it carefully, who owns the power of Qi now, military power, financial power, Brother Huang Which one do you control?"

Today, I was silent for a long time: "I will protect you with my life!"

My laughter became louder: "Brother Emperor, you have been emperor for two and a half years, why are you still so naive?"

Imaka suddenly hugged me, and bit my neck suddenly with his teeth. I couldn't laugh because of the pain. I am not like the high-ranking Imam: "Gu said that Gu will protect you forever."

I stopped smiling, and looked at the emperor in front of me with some pity, but Imakami looked at me with bloodshot eyes. I took a step back, and he took a step forward, until I bumped into a plum tree.

The snowflakes were falling, I looked at his eyes with pity, but said in my mouth sarcastically: "Could it be that the emperor fell in love with my younger brother, wanted to accept my younger brother into the palace, and be a concubine with three obediences and four virtues, but I still want to marry into my palace. Be a concubine who manages a stable family? But brother Huang, I am your younger brother...even if it is not now."

Imakami finally couldn't help punching out, but the fist didn't land on me, but on the plum tree behind me.

I squeezed out what I thought was the prettiest smile, looked at the beautiful thin lips not far from me, pressed it down desperately, pried open his clenched teeth, and was about to drive straight in, but Komami pushed me away .

He only heard him muttering: "I am your emperor brother..."

I folded my arms as calmly as if watching a play: "If you don't tell me, who else would know that today is also a broken sleeve like the deposed prince!"

He looked at me suddenly, as if he had seen through my trick: "You did it on purpose, didn't you?"

I made a gesture to untie his clothes again, and said casually: "Isn't it just to eat with you when you are in love? Besides, isn't this something that you think about all day and night? Look around, no one is so quiet." , this time the matter is done, the province's emperor will miss it day and night in the future."

"Ridiculous! I am your imperial brother!"

I laughed to myself: "Yes, you are my imperial brother, but what should I do if I like the imperial brother?"

"You're presumptuous!" The person who pretends to look like a human most today, in fact, no one is more familiar with the tricks behind the scenes than me.I put a smile on my face and said: "Since the emperor knows that this matter is absurd, he should stop thinking about it. It's getting late, and Han Jue is still waiting for me, so I will leave first."

Seeing that the crowd had already dispersed, Han Jue was still waiting for me with her clothes and red plums, so I said, "Where's Gu Yi?"

Liu Yuan found a rock and sat down without fear of the cold: "Gu Yi went down the mountain to investigate the case."

When Han Jue put on the warm fur for me, his eyes wandered, so I said, "But it's freezing here?"

Han Jue shook his head, but Liu Yuan said, "Your Highness is happy, why don't others shiver at this time?"

Knowing what he meant, I didn't bother with him: "In the future, if Gu Yiruo finds out about Xiang Liu, I hope Mr. Liu will spare his life."

Liu Yuan brushed the snowflakes off his clothes: "He didn't break the law, so I have no reason to embarrass him."

Then what's wrong with Chen Moran, it's different or died at your hands?

I bowed my hands to him: "Thank Mr. Liu on behalf of Gu Yi."

Liu Yuan turned his eyes away from me, so I led Han Jue down the mountain together. Fortunately, Gu Yi was careful and sent a message to Ning Feng and Xi Yu to wait at the foot of the mountain. If so, when we returned to the mansion, it was already midnight hour.

Gu Yi was checking the case files from Dali Temple all night long, and Han Jue was also sent back to his mansion by me, perhaps because of the cool breeze blowing, his head was groggy, and I fell asleep when I returned home. Before going to bed, I put the bouquet of red plums in the thin-mouthed white porcelain vase in front of the bed. I don’t like soaking flowers in water, so I just put them there cleanly. When they wither, I will throw them away myself Go to the firewood room and cook a pot of rice.

After a few days, Han Jue did not come to my house again. I heard that the imperial concubine in the palace was about to give birth, and she was busy making gifts. Han Jue lost her parents since childhood. Leaving Han Jue and Ru Ji alone, how can he be unhappy now that the Han family is happy to have a baby?

After dozens of days, until the 22nd of the twelfth lunar month, King Xia returned to the country of Xia, and it is said that he also tied Xia Xun back.Han Jue didn't come to my house again, and Gu Yi's case has also taken shape.In the study, I briefly put the facts of the case written by Gu Yi on the case, thinking about how to punish the perpetrators.

The name of the deceased was Wu Ming, he was the head of Liu Selou, and he was the best friend with Du Zhuo during his lifetime.After Du Zhuo was favored by Liu Xiang and left Liu Selou, Wuming fell ill and was unable to entertain guests.

According to Gu Yi, Wu Ming has always had a habit of not drinking anything but Yangchun tea, and not wearing anything but silk clothes.This habit seems to have no other disadvantages except that it burns some money, but it only spends all the rewards he gets from serving the guests on weekdays!

Du Zhuo often lent him his own money to make up for his shortfalls in Liu Selou, but Wu Ming still fell in love with the owner of a silk and satin shop.

After the incident between the two was exposed, Du Zhuo followed Liu Xiang wholeheartedly. Because Du Zhuo was young and beautiful and had accumulated a lot of kung fu, Liu Xiang naturally liked him, and then he skyrocketed to the top.

Wu Ming himself was still living a luxurious life in the Goulan, and the boss of the silk and satin shop loved him to the core. Every time he waved his hand, he easily won a hundred and ten taels of silver.

It's a pity that the owner of the silk and satin shop was accidentally killed by a group of thieves on the way to buy goods. Since then, Wu Ming has lost his support, and he became seriously ill after the savings were spent.

In addition, Gu Yi said that the last person Wu Ming saw before his death was Du Zhuo.

"Your Highness, Dali Temple Minister Du Daren is seeking an audience outside the residence." Xi Yu came in and reported.

"Let him in."

Half a quarter of an hour later, Du Zhuo went straight to the chair next to the desk and sat down in a silk dress. Ning Feng put the brewed tea on the table one by one.

After Ning Feng went out, Du Zhuo picked up the teacup, sipped lightly, frowned and said, "Why does the tea in Your Highness's mansion have a musty smell?"

"Really?" I also took a sip of the tea: "It's probably because the weather is humid in summer, and it's damp. Mr. Du seems to have a lot of research on tea?"

Du Zhuo put down the teacup, looked at me and said with a smile: "Your Highness has found out something, just tell me."

I have always liked such straightforward people when doing things.

"My lord found out that Wu Ming went to Meiyuan to meet you." I didn't play tricks either.

"What does Your Highness want me to recruit?"

I looked at the letter written by Gu Yi on the desk and said, "Tell me the story of the heartbroken man and the infatuated woman."

Du Zhuo's expression became serious, and he looked at the bookshelf full of books behind me: "Wu Ming and I are both happy people, and we met five years ago when we went to Beijing to catch the exam."

Wu Ming often makes fun of himself as an unknown person who has no future in his life and only knows how to read and write.Wu Ming's family was poor, and selling everything he could to spend on his way to Chang'an was just enough.On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month of that year, during the beginning of winter, Du Zhuo ordered a plate of dumplings stuffed with fennel in the inn, and warmed a pot of good wine.

Wu Ming was standing by the counter and begging the shopkeeper: "Boss, it's okay for me to live in a firewood house!"

The store owner is a businessman, so naturally everything is only for profit: "The firewood house is ten pennies."

Wu Ming poured out all the money from the dilapidated purse, splashing a small piece, and after Wu Ming counted them one by one, he heard him say: "Boss, I only have ten coins, please do me a favor!"

The boss didn't follow suit, so the caller kicked him out.

Du Zhuo took out a piece of silver from his bosom, and said to the schoolboy beside him, "Give this piece of silver to that scholar just now."

In the blink of an eye, Wu Ming came in from the outside, followed behind the book boy, with his head down, holding the money I gave him just now, walked up to Du Zhuo and said, "Thank you, Mr. Wu Ming, for your kindness of saving me, Wu Ming will never forget it!"

Oh, it turned out to be Wu Ming.

At that time, Du Zhuo was rich in clothes and clothes, so naturally he didn't take this kind of favor to heart, he just said: "It's just a little effort." Then he bowed his head and continued to pour wine and eat.

Wu Ming stood in front of the table for a long time and refused to leave. Du Zhuo thought that he thought he had given too little money, so he took out a larger piece of silver from his pocket: "Is this enough?"

Still bowing his head, Wu Ming whispered, "I've never seen such a large piece of silver, and I don't know how to spend it."

Du Zhuo put down his chopsticks, asked the storekeeper for another pair of bowls and chopsticks, put them on the opposite side, and said, "I will teach you how to make flowers from now on."

Perhaps it was due to hunger for too long, Wu Ming ate three plates of dumplings in one go, and drank two bowls of soup.

Du Zhuo looked at the clean bottom of the bowl opposite him, and said, "Do you still have soup when you eat dumplings?"

Wu Ming wiped his mouth and said, "My family is poor, and I can only drink a bowl of dumpling soup during the Chinese New Year."

Du Zhuo saw that although his clothes were old and white, his face was clean and his eyes were clear.

"Brother Wu is going to Chang'an?"

"Yes, go to Chang'an to take the scientific examination." Wu Ming replied.

Du Zhuo said: "I'm also going to Chang'an to prepare for the scientific examination, if Brother Wu doesn't mind, can I go with me?"

"May I ask your name?" Wu Ming asked.

Du Zhuo smiled and said, "Du Zhuo."

Wu Ming's eyes were full of excitement: "Du Zhuo."

Du Zhuo turned around and told the shopkeeper: "I want two upper-class rooms, my son and brother Wu each live in one room."

Little did they know that all of this fell into the eyes of the people at the next table.

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed and prepared two upper rooms, which were adjacent to each other on the left and right, and all the utensils were fully prepared.

When the willows were on the top of the moon, Du Zhuo took a hot bath and lay down on the bed and fell asleep, while Wu Ming next to him was lighting a lamp and reading.When I read until midnight, my eyelids began to feel heavy, so I opened the window and let the cold wind blow, and I was refreshed again.

It didn't matter if the window was opened, Wu Ming saw four or five people in night clothes quietly walking to the next room.Wu Ming didn't care much, got up and jumped out of the window, shouting loudly: "There are thieves!"

All of a sudden, there was noise in the quiet surroundings, and all the guests lit candles to open the windows. The thieves broke into Du Zhuo's unclosed door in a panic, and rushed towards Du Zhuo with a knife.

When did Du Zhuo see such a scene, he turned over and fell to the ground, and was caught by the thieves.

Wu Ming also quickly walked to Du Zhuo's room, and said cautiously: "You...don't mess around!"

The leader of the thieves warned: "Hand over all the money!"
