Si Tian Guan

Bai Shiyan stepped out of the palace on the thick snow, before he had time to cross the bridge and get on his horse, he saw a familiar carriage parked at the corner of the street far away from the dismounting stone.

The people in the car had already waited impatiently, and before his other m foot knocked the snow on the edge of the car, they grabbed him by the handle: "Second uncle went in? How is it?"

"Isn't this just going in? I don't know what to do. It's better than anything else if people get back safely. After that, m will plan step by step. Uncle also followed m. Let's wait here."

Seeing that Liu Chongming's brows were unfurled, he comforted him again: "It was Shen Zhou who took the person in, at least the emperor is willing to listen to him, and with his help, you just trust him."

Mentioning this, Liu Chongming was even more worried.

"Shi Yan, don't you understand? This time King Huai cast a net to make things difficult for Second Uncle and Jing Chen. It's M's side. I'm afraid his eyes are mainly on Shen Zhou."

Bai Shiyan put down the cotton curtain, and was stunned for a moment by these words: "What?"

"King Huai is not the one who is willing to suffer all the time. Ding Lekang died, and the Jinwu Guard fell into Shen Zhou's hands. I came back well. Now the harem is respected by my sister, and everyone who has benefited inside and out, except for the Liu family, is Shen Zhou. boat."

"Even if he can't figure it out, he should suspect Shen Zhou."

"Before Shen Zhou divination for Concubine Xian, the result was 'Ning He'. Shen Zhou said that he did not lie, but this result is not what King Huai wanted, and I am afraid it will be even more unfavorable to Shen Zhou."

Liu Chongming frowned in worry, and asked, "You just saw Shen Zhou, did he express anything?"

"No," Bai Shiyan didn't dare to be careless, thought for a while, and still shook his head: "He only glanced at me, and mainly paid attention to Second Uncle. I think he doesn't seem to be in a hurry, and he is planning to come out to comfort you."

Liu Chongming opened the cotton curtains, and the towering red palace walls were cut into pieces by the obliquely flying snow catkins. No one knew what was going on inside.

Bai Shiyan found the wine in the car, and handed him an m cup: "Is everything done with the Tang family?"

"Almost," he replied slowly, "The Tian family is ruthless. The emperor is even willing to let King Ning and the queen go. How can he leave any way for the Tang family? It was like this to the Liu family in the past, and it is the same to the Tang family now."

Bai Shiyan felt a little uncomfortable.

"M-day husband and wife have a hundred days of grace, why are you here?"

"What kind of favor is it? For this position, the emperor can even do things to his own mother. If it weren't for the m queen mother and m king Ning in the middle, they would have turned their heads a long time ago."

Liu Chongming also felt emotional in his heart, he never thought that the "story" he and Qu Shenzhou sorted out in the past might not be far from the truth, otherwise how could he impress the Queen Mother?

Naturally, Bai Shiyan also belatedly listened to the two younger brothers, and only then did he understand the joint in the middle.

"Then tell me, do you know the Queen Mother for so many years? How much do you know? If you know, how can you live well for so long?"

Liu Chongming rubbed his temples, he could only distract himself by talking.

"The Queen Mother has not seen anything for so many years since she was appointed as the Crown Princess. If there is no doubt, what supported her to live for so long?"

"The emperor and the queen want to use her to threaten the other party, but they are afraid of forcing her. The three parties check and balance, just right."

"She must not be reconciled. If it wasn't for Shen Zhou this time, even if the queen mother uses her life to hold back King Ning, the Tang family will keep King Ning down sooner or later."

Bai Shiyan was terrified when he heard it, and he was silent for a while before uttering a sentence: "Why..."

Afterwards, there was only the sound of snow falling with the wind, waiting for the boring torment, they all sat by the window, watching the flutters become denser and denser, leaving only a shadowy shape on the palace gate.

After an unknown amount of time, the two of them straightened up suddenly, and saw a figure quickly passing through the vast expanse of snow.

Seven or eight cavalrymen galloped past the carriage without stopping, with the clatter of hoofbeats.

When Liu Chongming scrambled to the door and opened the cotton curtain, he could only see the white body of the leader, as if he had merged with the wind and snow.

Bai Shiyan squeezed over and hurriedly asked: "Zuo Xiaoying! Could it be a raid?"

"No..." Liu Chongming slowly shook his head: "If it was a search, it wouldn't be such a few people, let alone let Shen Zhou go. Wait and see."

He was as steady as a rock, and his words were firm, which made Bai Shiyan feel at ease.

Now I just have to wait patiently.

Not long after, the shadow of a carriage passed through the wind and snow at the other end of the long street, quickly approaching, and stopped not far from them.

The people who got off the car could be seen clearly, they were several women and some young children, they followed Qu Shenzhou and the others with their heads down, and disappeared at the palace gate.

"It's the second uncle's house and a few sons." Bai Shiyan said.

Liu Chongming's heart moved, and he had a vague guess, a guess that he should be able to breathe a sigh of relief, but his heart was so depressed that he couldn't breathe.

In the evening, when the wind stopped and the snow stopped, I saw the people they were waiting for at the palace gate.

Bai Shiyan lifted the curtain first and jumped down: "Uncle! Uncle!"

Liu Weizheng didn't speak, but Liu Weixian greeted them: "Why are you all here? I haven't seen you so diligently welcoming me?"

Liu Chongming looked at Qu Chenzhou who was sending someone out from behind his eyes, and also followed him and called, "Father, Second Uncle."

"Let's go back," Liu Wei was watching his younger brother send his family members into the carriage, and then signaled to Liu Chongming's carriage: "Weixian, let's go together."

The wind and snow had subsided, and the charcoal fire in the carriage was sultry. When the curtains were lifted slightly, only the sound of wheels crushing loose snow could be heard.

Liu Chongming sat in the outermost position, seeing no one was on the street, and then asked, "Is Concubine Xian okay?"

"It's okay." Liu Weizheng replied simply, leaving the right of explanation to his younger brother.

"She's fine," Liu Weixian thought about it, and added with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't let her be fine."

Seeing the two juniors looking over with serious expressions, he smiled indifferently: "It's not a big deal, I'm getting nervous when you stare at me like that."

Liu Chongming was really worried: "Second uncle, are you okay, the emperor's side..."

Liu Weixian waved his hand: "Although your second uncle is an old bone, he can't help you much, and he certainly won't hold you back. Old Dong, I'll show you..."

"Second Uncle!" Liu Chongming hurriedly interrupted: "Since he dared to come at this time, I'm afraid he has done a good job in the accounts. You just had trouble here, so don't make trouble, just delay it for a while. We Come to think of something."

Liu Weixian chuckled, patted him on the shoulder, and sighed with emotion: "You're still young."

Halfway through the journey, Liu Weixian still didn't continue walking with them, and got out of the car first, but before getting out, he said something more to Liu Chongming.

"Chongming, we old ones are fine, you pay attention to your little friend."

Liu Chongming looked stunned: "What happened to him?"

"Jing Chen is here today." Speaking of this name, Liu Weixian paused for a moment before continuing: "Qu Chenzhou said several times that he couldn't see anything. Although the emperor didn't speak, he looked bad."

Liu Chongming imagined that Jing Chen was the one who pushed Shen Zhou up, even if what Shen Zhou said was the truth, when it didn't meet the emperor's wishes, the emperor would inevitably have a lot of guesswork.

"It's the truth that prosperity must decline," Liu Weixian sighed, "The emperor is gradually getting used to his existence, and the demands will inevitably become more, and they are not as satisfying as before. When you are free, remind him to speak less."

I don't know if it was because of these words, or because m seats were vacant, the car suddenly became deserted.

Bai Shiyan finally got a chance to speak: "Uncle, this matter...is it really over like this?"

After they got the news, even Shen Zhou was very nervous.

"It's over."

Liu Wei was speaking more clearly before getting out of the car.

"Your second uncle's ability to suppress it must have been beyond the expectation of the other side. Since the opponent has already made a move, he will not stop."

"Qingru and the little prince, I will take good care of them, so you don't need to be distracted, but you have to move quickly."

"Shen Zhou is the top priority. Judging from the opponent's actions, it will be a matter of time before you see him through. You must protect him well."

The two elders were secretive, Liu Chongming couldn't figure it out, he could only secretly rejoice that he couldn't meet Qu Shenzhou for a few days, but he didn't expect to learn the inside story from the palace soon.

There is no sealed wall in the world, not to mention the emperor did not order to shut up.

Liu Chongming went upstairs on the creaking stairs, and before he could shake off the snow from his cloak, he heard a loud noise from the front wing, as if someone had fallen to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, Mu Jingchen came out from the inside with a sullen face, and when he met Liu Chongming face to face, he stopped for a moment, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back and left in a hurry.

Liu Chongming picked up the curtain and went in, and sure enough, he saw someone fell to the ground covering his face, and everyone was trying to help him up.

"What's the matter?" Liu Chongming threw the cloak to someone else, and also stretched out his hand: "My lord has such a good temper, why did you offend him?"

The man held his hand, grinned and stood up: "I didn't say anything, didn't everyone talk about it, Liu Shang..."

In the middle of his words, someone poked him hard from behind, and he suddenly looked up to see who it was, and his face turned ashen.

"Liu what?" Liu Chongming smiled gently, and twisted his hand to prevent people from leaving: "What were you talking about just now, let me listen to it, and let me have fun too."

That person said this just now, and originally wanted to please His Majesty King Jing, but for some reason, the horse's ass was slapped on the horse's leg, and now he knows that he should not mention it in front of this person.

"Do you want me to speak for you?" Liu Chongming suddenly raised his fist and punched the man on the cheek, and then dragged him back: "If I speak for you, I will be punished by m and so on—choose m."

The man didn't even dare to say a word, knowing that he couldn't escape today, so he could only cover his face in a secretive way, and muttered in a low voice.

"Just now, it turns out that Liu Shangshu is not good... usually go to... entertainment... can only watch but can't do it, again and again... the side house at home is kept clean, and his son is not him..."

Liu Chongming kicked him in front of his chest.

The man was caught off guard and fell on his back, falling between the overturned tables and chairs.

"It's so well-known that you even know if the side room is clean or not. Which corner of the bedbug are you?"

Liu Chongming's knife-like gaze flicked across the crowd slowly: "There are quite a lot of people here today, so just help me spread the word—and let me hear someone gossiping, remember to wash their necks Get clean."

He slammed the door and left, and when he went down the stairs, his foot was crooked and he staggered down.

In fact, although the second uncle didn't say anything, he knew that the rumors were true. If not, how could the emperor give up so easily.

And it's not just true, maybe a long, long time ago, after being in love with Concubine Xian, the second uncle was worried that Bai Mishu would be taken out one day, and that Concubine Xian would be trapped forever. I made plans early on.

After the mage got into the carriage, he covered his face with his sleeve.

The second uncle, who seems to outsiders to hang around in the flowers, still just smiles when he is criticized by his relatives, without a word of excuse, but he will carefully put away his profligate appearance at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet m times in m years, just for the sake of Meet up with Concubine Xian.

——I have had a good life these years, and I wish you well.

"She's fine."

"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to her."

Liu Chongming thought of his second uncle's calm smile, and suddenly wanted to see Qu Shenzhou.

I thought that I could walk this m step with my hands stained with blood, and my heart would be as firm as iron, and I would not be moved by anything, but now there is still someone by my side who can hug me.

King Huai's m move tore not only the second uncle's face.

"Son of a bitch……"

He suddenly slammed his fist against the wall of the car, and the sleeves covering his face were already wet.

"Son of a bitch!"

The author has something to say: I wrote before that the Liu family is all emotionally rigid, and I thought that someone would question the second uncle who is clearly a prodigal. I don’t know if this chapter is clear. Afterwards, I tried to make myself 'not good', because I was afraid that one day I would let Concubine Xian and Jing Chen be doomed. In fact, the second uncle only had Concubine Xian in his life.
