Si Tian Guan

That night, Qu Chenzhou kept his eyes open.

His pupils seemed to lose focus, and he listened to Liu Chongming humming a familiar song in a daze. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes to his cheeks, and he gradually fell asleep until dawn.

Qu Chenzhou, who woke up again, never mentioned this matter, but like a different person, he no longer deliberately concealed himself in front of Liu Chongming.

He would read the same book as Liu Chongming, comment on the interpretation, and even mention the good and bad characters of the people in the court from time to time, like a treasure.

Hearing this, Liu Chongming's jaw dropped in shock, almost thinking that because he was greatly stimulated, a ghost might have possessed him.

But after listening carefully, many words are not groundless

——Ling He, who is still in Dali Temple and only serves as the Prime Minister of the Ministry of Justice, if there are noble people to help him, given time, he will be a good talent.

Liu Chongming also noticed this person, but he didn't put much thought into it, but from what Qu Shenzhou said, it seemed to imply him that this person could be recruited.

——The layout of things under the door is narrow and easy to be exploited.

Although his father held an important position in the court, he himself was silent, let alone talking about people's right and wrong, but when Liu Chongming was chatting privately, he heard his father mention this person once.

——Rong Tanhua, who was hand-picked by the emperor's golden palace back then, is now exiled. If he can get this person, Linghe will not be far away.

As more and more words were said, Liu Chongming couldn't help but not believe them.

He felt as if he was groping in the dark, and when he was so desperate that he was about to give up, someone finally took his hand and showed him a narrow ray of light behind countless twists and turns.

He didn't know who Qu Chenzhou was, but he knew that this person really... seemed to be entrenched in his dead spot from birth.

When I returned to the Hou Mansion to have dinner with my family, my father asked him about his homework as usual, and also deliberately praised him, saying that the few policy articles he wrote recently were less extreme and more mellow than before. , much more mature and worthy of praise.

Liu Chongming's heart skipped a beat. If his father hadn't mentioned it, he would not have noticed such a change in himself.

Liu Weizheng was much more astonished than Liu Chongming.

Since the death of the eldest son, this son seems to have lost the kite that is pulling him, and he rises and falls with only a little stubbornness. He seems to be trying his best, but he still can't find the direction.

He couldn't hold back his son, so he could only ask people to move to another hospital. Although he gave advice many times, both openly and secretly, but if his character remained unchanged, the articles he wrote would not change.

I asked my son to move back several times, but it ended with a quarrel.

Now that he noticed that the barb on his son's body had softened inadvertently, he couldn't help being surprised and relieved.

At the dinner table, Mrs. Liu was still nagging as before, blaming others non-stop, Liu Qingchi was still indifferent, but Liu Chongming did not leave immediately like before.

This afternoon, when sending him out, that person said to him as if casually—noisy, noisy, love-hate intertwined, that's the kind of fireworks that should be there.

That's what he looks like now.

While chattering, Mrs. Liu took the food box from the maid and handed it to him.

Inside are all his favorite things, such as steamed cheese with sugar, chestnut flour cake steamed with sweet-scented osmanthus sugar, rose cake, sweet snow noodles, and four sweet preserves.

He hesitated, then pushed the food box back.

"Mom, do you have any salty snacks?"

When Bai Shiyan entered the study in a hurry, he didn't see Liu Chongming, but saw a thin figure standing in front of the bookshelf, tiptoeing to pull out two books from the top shelf.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, the man turned around and looked over. When he saw him, he quickly knelt down on the ground: "I have seen General Bai."

"Who told you to be here?!" Bai Shiyan yelled, "Get out!"

Qu Chenzhou silently kowtowed, and was about to leave when he was stopped again: "Where is your son?"

"Return to General Bai, Shizi said to take a nap, and he will be here in a while."

Bai Shiyan frowned and looked at Qu Shenzhou, and then at the study, obviously feeling something was wrong.

Based on his understanding of Chongming, the study room is an extremely important place, even when Shi Lei came over, he was not allowed to enter the study room alone, so how could he let a mere slave here without any warning?

Moreover, the layout of the study now seems to be different from when he came here before.

He looked around, and soon found that in addition to Chongming's usual desk and a few chairs for guests, there was another set of simple tables and chairs not far from the bookshelf. It was self-evident who prepared it for.

This couldn't help but the alarm bells rang in his heart.

Ever since he heard Fang Wuyang's words, he also came to see it. Originally, it was only to see Chongming's jokes, and it is not uncommon for aristocratic princes to raise some prostitutes to play with.

At Chong Mingdu's age, he shouldn't be living like an ascetic.

So Chongming hasn't seen him for almost two months, and he didn't take it seriously. People who just started eating meat will inevitably be addicted to it for a while, and it's fine when they get tired of playing.

What's more, Chongming himself is a very measured person.

But the current situation was beyond his expectation. To be able to give such a high level of trust and freedom to go in and out of the study room, either this slave was lying, or he was explaining what went wrong.

It's one thing to have fun, it's another to indulge.

He was sullen and silent, and Qu Chenzhou knelt and couldn't get up until Liu Chongming hurried over after hearing the report.

"Shen Zhou, you go out first."

Qu Chenzhou stepped back in response, but this sound made Bai Shiyan's expression heavy: "Chongming, what do you call him?"

"That's his name, what do you want me to call him?" Liu Chongming asked back, "Is he called a little monster?"

"You left him here by himself when you went to rest?"

Liu Chongming understood his doubts, and replied frankly: "Yes, I let him find some books to read here."

"Are you crazy?" Bai Shiyan couldn't believe it: "You don't even let Shi Lei and Qing Chi come here alone, what qualifications does he have?"

"Of course I have put away the important things, and I won't let him find them."

"Chongming!" Bai Shiyan was irritated by this casual answer: "I understand, you have never met anyone before, and you just tasted it, and you feel delicious when eating a piece of meat, and you want to pet him, but you should know what is more important. .”

Liu Chongming calmly sat down beside the desk: "I didn't touch him."

"No touch?" Bai Shiyan's eyes widened: "Didn't he live in your room?"

"Yes, but I didn't touch him."

Bai Shiyan's expression was solemn: "Chongming, it's been almost two months, and you haven't touched him yet? You're still so confused by him?"

"I'm not confused," Liu Chongming retorted, but he knew better than anyone else that he seemed to be unable to control many things now: "Shi Yan, you should know that I didn't bring him back to get him into bed. .”

Bai Shiyan's eyes widened. It was the first time he heard Liu Chongming say the words "sex to bed" so naturally. This was something he had never thought about before, but this change is no longer a major event worth mentioning.

"Then since you trust him so much, do you understand everything about him?"

Liu Chongming shook his head, not only did not understand, but he became more and more confused, with more and more doubts, but he also felt more and more that this person must be inextricably linked with him and would not harm him.

"Shi Yan, I will explain his matter to you later. Did you quarrel with me today?"

Although he knew that this was the other party's backlash, Liu Chongming's promises always kept their promises, and it was not easy for Bai Shiyan to argue with him. He did have other important matters today, and it was also related to that child.

"Fang Wuyang got other things from Qisheng Building, he was afraid that others would find these records again, so he brought you the booklet directly." He handed over the things in his hand: "You have a look at it yourself."

Liu Chongming flipped through the pages and looked carefully. He recently asked Fang Wuyang to investigate only one thing.

"From the age of six to nine, there were a total of 110 nine times of divination, 71 times without results," he read softly: "Thirty times of bad luck, eighteen times of good fortune, 48 times of results."

His chest seemed to be slammed by something, and there were some results that he didn't want to guess: "It all came true?"

"Not everyone has come back, but five people in the auspicious hexagram and four in the bad hexagram have come back, and all of them have come true."

"It's less than half of it, and it's more accurate than this."

"Then what if I say that besides these nine people, Fang Wuyang tracked down seven more people, and all of them have come true?"

Bai Shiyan looked at him, and made a guess that he didn't dare to think: "Sixteen times out of 48 times, and it's not vague words like nodding and shaking the head, who can do it? Chongming, you don't believe these things, say Zi Don't talk too much, what do you want to say now?"

"What do you want to say?"

"Chongming," Bai Shiyan frowned slightly: "Are you asking me, or are you protecting him?"

Liu Chongming flipped through the booklet again and threw it on the table.

"Shi Yan, there are some things I have to see with my own eyes to believe them. These days, he has been living under my nose. I haven't seen any foresight in him, and if he really has such ability, how could he still be in trouble? In this situation? Who is willing to be a slave?"

"Chongming, are you really confused or are you testing me?" Bai Shiyan was almost laughed angrily by him.

"The few questions you asked me before, if he really knows what other people will do next, it means that your every move may be in his calculations. He knows that you will save him from Pan He, and he also knows how Only then can he get close to you! Is he willing to be a slave, or is he just trying to get close to you?"

"It's too mysterious. I don't believe it. The situation is uncertain now. If my sister still has nothing to say, I'm just a bystander, and there's no need for anyone to bother." Liu Chongming repeated calmly.

"Shi Yan, even ghosts and gods, have their own rules and restrictions. If he really knows everything, there are many ways to get close to me. There is no need to ask for trouble like this."

Bai Shiyansu couldn't beat him, and couldn't answer these questions. He looked at him for a while, and reached out to feel his pulse: "Chongming, do you have any discomfort? Did he do something to you?"

Chongming had asked about the art of witchcraft before, but this time he came here, he found that something was wrong with Chongming. He clearly said that it was Chongming who suspected the other party before, but now it is Chongming who defends the other party inside and outside the words.

The pulse under his hand was steady and strong.

"There is nothing uncomfortable."

It's not that Liu Chongming doesn't pay attention to these things. As far as he knows, the art of witchcraft must use some kind of psychic medium.

But when Qu Shenzhou was brought here, he didn't even have a single piece of clothing to cover up his shame. All the food, clothing and shelter were from him, so there was nothing extra to be a psychic medium.

If there is one, there is only that song that seems to have magic power.

He patted his friend on the shoulder: "If you are not at ease, I will go to the South Road Buddhist Temple with you another day and listen to what the abbot said."

With this promise, Bai Shiyan finally felt relieved and stopped asking.

"Okay, in addition, you have to know in your own mind, I heard that you haven't gone out much in the past two months?"

"Hmm." Liu Chongming also realized that he had lived a secluded life for a long time when he saw Bai Shiyan today, like a scholar who has gone astray in the mountains. road.

"You also said that you are not fascinated by him..."

"Okay, I'm just busy recently." Without waiting for Bai Shiyan's reproach, Liu Chongming said first: "Let's go, I haven't got together with you for a long time, let's go out for a drink."

Of course, Bai Shiyan was very happy for him to return to his previous appearance.

Outside the study, Qu Chenzhou had already consciously swept away all the fallen leaves on the ground, and when he saw the two of them coming out of the study, he knelt down by the bluestone path.

Liu Chongming brushed past him, and habitually pulled him up, and couldn't help but blurt out the instructions he had already swallowed while staring at each other.

"Don't wait for me to eat at night, go to bed early."

Under Bai Shiyan's surprised and worried eyes, Liu Chongming let go of his hand and left quickly.

Qu Chenzhou silently watched them leave.

In the past two months, Liu Chongming was not the only one who was addicted to the gentle village.

When he first came here, his blind desire to die had already been wiped out, and he even had a tiny desire in his heart to live in this small courtyard forever, no matter what he was asked to do.

Although he couldn't hear what was arguing in the study, he could still think of it.

In the previous life, since he left Jinxi Academy after he completed his studies, Liu Chongming became an official for him, and because of his status as Prince Anding and Concubine Liu Gui, he was able to visit him often in the palace.

At that time, Bai Shiyan also reminded the two of them at the same time that they shouldn't be too close, otherwise the interested people above would become suspicious.

But it's difficult for me.

This time, Bai Shiyan should also be reminding Liu Chongming not to take care of someone of unknown origin like him.

What should he do.

When Liu Chongming was away, the time seemed to be more difficult than before. He sat on the porch and read a few pages of books, and someone came over and asked him to change clothes and prepare for dinner.

He bowed to answer, and when he inadvertently raised his eyes, his heart suddenly thumped.

Hanging on the servant's body was an auspicious but ominous hexagram - Mrs. Liu rewarded him a lot.

This is a servant of Chongming's other court, why was he rewarded by Mrs. Liu?His heart beat wildly, and the answers he could think of were disturbing.

Even if Chongming has rectified the servants in the courtyard, Mrs. Liu is the mistress of the Liu family after all, so there will inevitably be servants...

Mrs. Liu is coming to another hospital?Or have you already arrived at another hospital?

In the past, he and Chongming were careless, thinking that the two of them had been concealed enough under cover, but they didn't know that they were living under the noses of many people.

He only met Mrs. Liu once at the court meeting in the palace, and from the disgusted eyes, he probably knew the other party's attitude.

This was the case when he was a Sitian official, and now he is naturally not allowed to appear in Chongming's other courtyard, let alone live in the same room with Chongming.

Almost without thinking, he jumped up suddenly, turned around and was about to run away, but in the next moment, the servant swooped down and hugged his legs.

The two rolled down the corridor to the ground together.

Before he could break free from the man's shackles in embarrassment, footsteps came from all around, and there were loud voices.

"Ma'am, it's him!"
