In terms of beauty, you can't beat me

The layout in the imperial brother's room is extremely simple, several thick history books occupy the bookshelf, and there is a table in front of the bookshelf, and there are large and small brushes with wolf hair and rabbit hair on the table, and the dusty brushes are neatly arranged. Hanging on the shelf, when the wind blows, it jingles.On the left side of the desk is the handwriting that Brother Huang usually practiced, one volume after another, if it wasn't for the dust on it, you wouldn't be able to tell that it was Xu's notes from years ago.

I walked into the hall quietly, just like when I was a child, afraid of waking up my brother who was still busy.

"Brother Huang!" I clearly saw the young me holding a book and rushing towards Brother Huang. Brother Huang raised his eyes from the tip of his pen to look at me, and smiled: "Siyi!"

Brother Huang's brows and eyes were still blurred with tears in his eyes, and his smile was extremely gentle. Brother Huang picked me up high and straightened the messy clothes on my chest: "Siyi is heavy again!"

"Siyi has also grown taller!" I looked back at Brother Huang, like a grass on the ground looking up at a big tree.

Brother Huang put me on the ground, knelt down and wiped the sweat off my forehead with his sleeves, his eyes leaked joy: "Yes, Siyi has also grown taller! In a few years, Brother Huang won't be able to hold Siyi anymore..."

I raised the book in my hand and said confidently: "At that time, I will walk side by side with Brother Huang!"

The vows made when I was young are still ringing in my ears, but there is no trace of the old man in this Mingyuan Palace.Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shed a few lines of tears. Sometimes crying is useless, but sometimes I can't help but do things that I know are useless.

I tremblingly supported Han Jue's hand, and walked step by step towards the very familiar desk. In order to make myself look less excited, I said, "I gave the glazed curtain to the emperor's brother on his birthday. The golden nanmu low table at the back is exactly the same in my house. At that time, I loved to come to Mingyuan Hall to play chess with the emperor. Look, there are chess pieces we used beside that low table! "

Slowly walked around the desk and sat down on it regardless of the dust on the chair, sitting upright, just like the emperor brother, watching the wind blowing the corner of the curtain upright, watching the dust on the desk whirling in the air by the wind.

Han Jue stood beside me: "Your Highness, let's go!"

He was a little scared, I closed my eyelids and looked at Brother Huang: "Han Qing, I want to die."

Han Jue seemed to be frightened, and shook my arm vigorously. I opened my eyes again, and said in an indistinguishable tone, "Just kidding."

Han Jue and I were afraid of being discovered, so we didn't stay for a while. Before leaving, I took away the scroll on the left side of the desk.

On those scrolls are Brother Huang's usual pen practice, and the same sentence was written over and over again: But the distant mountains are long, the clouds and mountains are chaotic, and the dawn mountains are green.

This is a secret between me and the emperor. I don't know what happened before the emperor threw himself into the lake, but I know what the emperor expects from me.

But I have failed in the end, I can't turn a blind eye to Brother Huang's death, I can't be as cold-blooded as the royal people, I swear to the death to find out the truth about Brother Huang's death!

The wagon was pressed against the fluffy snow, leaving two deep ruts, but they were quickly buried by the fresh snow until they disappeared.

I lifted the curtain and looked at Xiao Yun and said: "You go to the palace to report a letter to the emperor, the king will arrive later." My eyes drifted to the light cavalry behind him.

Xiao Yun cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty once said that His Highness has made a promise, His Majesty believes that His Highness will go back, and there is no need for ministers to report."

I put down the curtain angrily and looked at Han Jue who was sitting on the side, feeling a little annoyed in my heart: "After entering Chang'an, you and Liu Yuan will return home immediately!"

Compared with me, Han Jue is not in a hurry, sitting there is like drinking tea: "I am willing to go through fire and water with His Highness."

I was really angry, angry that Han Jue couldn't distinguish the current situation: "This king doesn't need it!"

Today's suspicions are deep. This time, Liu Yuan and Han Jue will go out of Chang'an together, or when everyone is not paying attention. One is the son of Liu Xiang, who is a high-ranking and powerful person, and the other is the younger brother of the current imperial concubine. After my loyal minister, there is also my former prince, so it is hard for me to send Xiao Yun to intercept us today.

After I finished saying this, Han Jue's bluish face turned pale from the beating just now, and his eyes were downcast.

"Since you have become Ruji's elder brother, you should consider everything for others. If you have been close to me, if word spreads, how will you deal with Ruji, and how will your nephew gain a foothold in the court?" Carriage He staggered, almost turning his back on his back: "You rescued me from the bottom of the lotus lake back then, and I am also grateful for your kindness, but this kindness must not be turned into other people's kindness. After you return to the mansion, don't go to my mansion again. .”

Horrified, Han Jue showed deep disappointment again, and the brows that were slightly raised on weekdays also drooped at this moment, and he didn't let Liu Yuan stop under the heavy anger, and directly lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Liu Yuan wanted to stop the car to help Hanjue, but I reprimanded him, "Your Majesty is still waiting for me in the palace, can you delay?"

Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Liu Yuan smiled and said, "Your Highness's urgent matter cannot be delayed, Your Highness should find someone else to take you back home!"

After speaking, he got out of the carriage and walked towards Han Jue.I turned to Xiao Yun and said, "Is there any idle horse?"

"Your Highness made a promise, it is true. Come, let Your Highness ride the horse!" An unpredictable smile appeared on Xiao Yun's face.

I cupped my hands and said, "Thank you!" I got out of the car, mounted my horse and swung my whip, and galloped towards the police station.

When I rode my horse to the gate, Imakami was standing at the gate of my gate and looked towards me. Behind me were Ning Feng, Xi Yu and a group of guards.Obviously there are countless followers, but standing there today feels infinitely desolate.

I got off my horse and saluted: "My younger brother, see Your Majesty!"

The handsome man in front of him will never go back to his old gray robe and plain belt.Imakami looked a little tough and indifferent: "Are the plum blossoms outside Chang'an beautiful?"

The plum blossoms outside Chang'an City always bloom early, and although this is considered the season of plum blossoms in full bloom, the plum groves outside Chang'an City have already withered.This is an open secret in the entire city of Chang'an, I know it, and I must know it today.Now that I have this question, I am afraid it is giving me a step down.

I replied cautiously: "The plum blossoms are a bit defeated."

Jinshang took two steps towards me and said in a deep voice, "Your face...?"

"Oh, when I climbed a tree to pick plum blossoms, I accidentally got scraped by a branch a few times, it's fine."

Imam grabbed my sleeve and walked into the mansion, leaving an order: "Don't follow!"

So all the guards obediently closed the door to my bedroom, and I bowed my head and followed His Highness.

I don't know how long he walked, but Imakami finally stopped, probably because he walked with his head down for too long, and felt a little uncomfortable in his chest.When he stopped, I carefully discerned where I was, and it turned out to be by the pond.

Staggering the hand that Imamami stretched out, he put on his best smile, gave him a deep salute, and replied: "Your brother is full of dust, I'm afraid it will stain His Majesty's eyes."

He stood and I knelt.

The cold wind blew the few remaining leaves from the pear tree and fell to my side, I still bowed deeply.

He seemed to have bent over at present, but in the end he still stood upright, showing the royal majesty, and said calmly: "Let's get flat."

"Yes." He still lowered his head.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, isn't the emperor willing to look up at Gu?"

"My brother dare not."

Jinshang was silent for a moment, then said softly: "I promise you."

My heart suddenly hurt, the three words "I wish you alone" should have been said by this king, but now it was someone else. Many reasons can deceive others, but they cannot deceive themselves.

Slowly raising his head, the familiar face that he used to accompany day and night slowly faded away, and what gradually became clear was the majesty in front of him, dressed in expensive clothes, with a cold expression.

The smile on my face gradually relaxed, and I looked at him and said, "Brother Huang has a haggard face, he doesn't look like a new father at all."

"The emperor's younger brother doesn't look like someone who is about to die."

I was a little surprised, it turned out that he was so worried that he sent someone to follow him secretly.Although this is what I expected, it still hurts a little.

"I just sent someone to look for you, and you are still entangled with Han Jue?" His Majesty still put on airs.

Hearing Han Jue's name, I couldn't help coughing lightly, Imakami sighed: "Go to the room and talk about it."

After I had recovered my breath, I said: "Perhaps my younger brother is destined to be alone in this life. Since it is destiny, calamity or fate, my younger brother will accept it with both hands."

"I remember that year when I watched the moon in the courtyard, you said that even if you couldn't reach the moon, it would be good to have a cup of water. Now Gu asks you, do you still want the moon when you have the cup of water in your hand?"

Are you asking if I still miss the throne?

I stared at him and said: "The moon has its mountains, rivers and worlds, and my brother is a frog in a well after all. I am a little tired of chasing those illusory bubbles. Perhaps the most suitable thing for me from the beginning to the end is just that. A handful of well water." After a pause, he continued: "Your Majesty is destined to be His Majesty, and my younger brother is also destined to be my younger brother. My younger brother's duty is to protect the emperor's brother."

"Is it the imperial brother Hugu or the other imperial brother?" Jin Shang raised his eyebrows.

"Of course it's the imperial brother of the guardian brother." And I only have one emperor brother, who died many years ago.

After being silent for a long time, he finally said: "I'm going back first, the emperor has a good rest."

Two days later, the news of King Xia's death finally came.

"Xia Xun, the third prince of the Xia Kingdom, ascended the throne and severely punished the ministers in the court who advocated attacking Qi." Liu Xiang sat across from me and said categorically.

I took a sip of the newly tributed tea, and the taste was slightly bitter: "Master Liu Xiang is really a clever plan!"

Liu Xiang said modestly: "This is not due to the minister's credit, it's obviously His Highness's beauty trick that works."

I put down the teacup and rubbed the corners of my sore eyes: "What is Liu Xiang going to do next?"

Liu Xiang took a sip of tea carefully, and said, "I heard that recently Gu Yi from Dali Temple is being entangled in an old case many years ago and can't solve it."

"What case?"

"I heard it was a case of murdering one's mother."

"Son kills mother?"

"I heard that the person who killed his mother was a scholar with nothing."

My heart sank: "Oh?"

"The man who murdered his mother is now in a high position, above ten thousand people. I'm just waiting to see how the minister of Dali Temple handles the case now." Liu Xiang said lightly.

My heart sank to the bottom of the valley for no reason, and I didn't know how to answer for a while, but I knew that what should come will come eventually, no matter how high the mountain is, it can't stop the wind and rain that is coming.
