Are you full, sweetie?

If Yunze were asked to make an assassination list, Yunyang would definitely be No.1 on the list.

The ointment given by King Ruijun yesterday was very effective, and the congestion on Yunze's knees has completely disappeared, but the wind and cold have not healed, and he is prone to coughing when he sees the wind.

Dang Gui went back and took a thick cloak for Yunze to tie, and the two went out together.

Zuixiao Tower is more expensive than the restaurants that Yunze usually goes to. Generally, only merchants or dignitaries will come and go here. Compared with the bustle of Changchun Tower, this place is quieter, and even the staff in the restaurant are much neater. .

The staff of Zuixiaolou saw Yunze come in with Angelica, and he subconsciously looked at Yunze: he looks very outstanding, but his clothes are a bit plain, he must be the son of a family that has fallen into ruin, and this kind of money usually doesn't cost much. There will be too many, and it will be difficult to serve.

A dish in Zuixiaolou usually costs two or three taels of silver, which is almost a month's expense for an ordinary family.The guy from Zuixiaolou said: "Guest officer, please, what kind of tea do you drink?"

"I'm looking for Yunyang."

"Mr. Yun?" Yun Yang is a frequent visitor to Zuixiaolou. There are many powerful people in Mingdu, and the rich and powerful are divided into high and low. The Anlehou Mansion is beyond the reach of ordinary rich and powerful. "Young Master Yun is in the wing room on the second floor, follow me."

Yunze followed the people from Zuixiaolou to the second floor, Yunyang was sitting on the seat drinking tea, he smiled at Yunze: "Sure enough, we brothers haven't sat at the same table to eat for a long time."

Yunze sat down: "The last time seemed like a year ago, my brother gave me a bowl of glutinous rice balls filled with peanuts and sesame seeds, which almost killed me."

Yun Yang smiled and said, "You actually hold grudges."

It is impossible for Yunze not to be concerned about the matter of life and death.

I am afraid that no one in the world likes someone who wants to kill himself.

Normal human beings like to be kind to themselves, right? Yunze is very grateful for delivering medicine to Yunze late at night like King Rui.

Yun Yang had just ordered food, and the dishes were brought up one after another. Although the dishes in Zui Xiao Lou were delicious, Yun Ze didn't move his chopsticks.

Yun Yang picked up a chopstick of fish, and said expressionlessly: "Brother, I will let someone thoroughly investigate to see who let my father know about my going in and out of Nanfeng Pavilion. If that person is you—"

Yunze leaned on the back of the chair seemingly carelessly.

Yun Yang glanced at him.

Since he was a child, he thought Yunze was good-looking, and Yunze's eyebrows and eyes were very similar to his dead mother.

Yun Yang still remembers Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang is beautiful, with a petite oval face, jade and soft muscles, as if the snow is gathering under the moon, her words and deeds are dignified and elegant, neither coquettish nor coquettish, except for being cold to An Lehou and Cai, she sees others Everyone has a gentle smile.

Mrs. Wang especially dotes on Yunze.

Mrs. Cai regards Yunyang as a tool of solid pet.

When Yun Ze was young, Mrs. Wang would often hold hands in the garden for a walk, Yun Yang felt dazzling every time he saw such a scene.

Now Yunze's chin is raised slightly, his snow-white face is full of coldness, his usually gentle and smiling eyes are also wary, this cold look also pierces Yunyang's eyes.

The mother and son had never given Yunyang a good look.

Maybe a few years ago when Yunze fell into the water and was picked up, he gave Yunyang a good face, but Yunyang not only loved to die, but also wanted to test his brother's tolerance for early death. A bowl of glutinous rice balls turned his brother into an enemy again.

"What will I do?"

"Elder brother won't get the position of the son of the Marquis Mansion, and he won't let you get it." Yun Yang put the fish with the big thorns removed on the plate in front of Yun Ze, "Just wait until the fish dies and the net breaks."

Naturally, Yunze would not eat the fish that Yunyang gave him... even if the fish looked delicious.

Yunyang is full of tricks, Yunze has had a hard time these years, and has been racking his brains to fight the opponent to avoid falling into the opponent's trap.

Other dishes came up one after another, a total of ten dishes.

After a while, Yun Yang went out to change clothes, and Dang Gui said: "My lord, you'd better not even taste it, the eldest lord always likes to make some bad tricks."

Yunze had waited for a long time for Yunyang to come back. It is impossible for ordinary people to go to the bathroom so slowly. He realized something was wrong: "Go and find Yunyang and see where he went."

Angelica hurried down.

After a while, Dang Gui came back with a very ugly face: "The eldest son left, and he told the restaurant clerk that you are his friend, and I asked you to pay for the meal."

Yunze paid 20 taels of silver.

He was worried about the collusion between Yunyang and Zuixiaolou, and this expensive meal must not be eaten.

When he came out of the restaurant, Dang Gui said indignantly: "Young master is too despicable! You can do such despicable deeds, I really don't deserve to be your elder brother."

Yun Ze couldn't say a word.

Because Yunze's heart was bleeding.

In any case, he must find an errand after the Chinese New Year, otherwise it would be very difficult for him to spend the whole year with only the remaining ten taels of silver.

Xu Jing woke up early in the morning and looked outside the gate.

Yunze has not been to the palace for several days, Xu Jing has been waiting for Yunze to visit the palace.

In the middle of the night yesterday, news came from Liaozhou that officials had colluded with Beidi. Beidi, who was beaten into a turtle by Zhong Xing, was eager to take back the lost land. Hundreds of Beidi people looted at the border and killed thousands of people in Liaozhou.

The officials who colluded with Beidi are naturally another bold cousin of Zhong Xing.

Who wouldn't covet the position of King Liao?Anyone who is of the same clan as Zhong Xing, whoever has a bit of courage and ambition, is eyeing the throne of King Liao.

Zhong Xing was furious when he heard the news.

The few generals who were normally bold and bold all slipped away after being summoned to discuss matters in the middle of the night, not even daring to breathe before leaving.

The little maidservant serving Zhong Xing's tea and water had been scared to cry several times by the murderous look in the regent's eyes, for fear that the regent would want her head if he was not happy.

Xu Jing was a counselor who followed Zhong Xing around, and he didn't want to see Zhong Xing's cold face, but there was no way, those generals didn't live in this place, and Xu Jing lived here, so he couldn't avoid it.

Yun Ze was thinking about something, and he didn't realize that he was passing by the gate of Ruijun Prince's Mansion, when Xu Jing jumped out suddenly and surprised him: "Mr. Xu."

Xu Jing stroked his beard with a smile: "The young master has not been here for many days, and everyone in the house misses him very much."

Yunze has a good temper, good looks, sweet mouth, and sometimes he is cute when he is in a daze. The servants here really like him very much.

Yunze said: "I have been grounded by my father for the past two days, and something happened at home, Mr. Xu, I will come to bother you another day."

Xu Jing directly grabbed Yun Ze's arm and entered the door: "Our Highness is at home today, why do we have to change another day? Please come in, my lord."

Yunze didn't expect that this old man Xu Jing's strength was stronger than his own, and his big skinny hands were like iron tongs.

In fact, it's okay to come to see Prince Rui today... But Yunze is not happy now, and he doesn't want to bring his bad mood to his good friend.

Yunze tidied up his clothes: "Mr. Xu, you are too rude!"

Xu Jing chuckled, and quickly asked the maid to go in to report.

Yunze saw that the atmosphere in the mansion was not right. Although the maid was usually cautious, she seemed even more timid today.

There is also Xu Jing, Xu Jing is usually a very handsome old man, but today he is a bit abnormal.

Yunze looked at Xu Jing: "Mr. Xu, what happened to your Highness?"

Xu Jingdao: "Recently there are a lot of affairs, His Highness is in a bad mood, and he didn't sleep last night, Young Master Yun, can you please comfort me?"

Yunze is also in a bad mood, and he doesn't want to coax people now... However, King Ruijun is so kind to him, giving him food and drink, and giving him medicine. When King Ruijun is sad, Yunze should really comfort him .

Yunze nodded: "I will do my best."

The maid came out: "Young Master Yun, come in, Your Highness is inside."

Yunze walked in.

Zhong Xing was sitting by the table with a scroll in his hand, his upper body was as straight as a pine, wearing a thin robe, and his loose black hair was full of moisture, he should have bathed not long ago.

He looked at Yunze: "Can you come out today?"

Zhong Xing looked the same as before, not in a bad mood like Xu Jing said.

"Father lifted my grounding."

"Marquis Anle..." Zhong Xing said in a low voice, "I heard that the regent asked him to punish Princess Huaishu, so he should be in a dilemma right now and has no time to take care of you."

Yunze did not expect that King Rui was so well informed that he knew every move of the regent within a short period of time.

"That's true." Yun Ze said, "Father accidentally broke his leg and foot, not only in physical pain, but also in mental torture."

Zhong Xing had a half-smile but not a smile: "What good plan does the young master have to save your father?"

"It's not a good strategy, it's just a guess at the regent's intentions."

"Oh?"

Yunze said: "The regent wants the Ministry of Punishment, but he doesn't want the Ministry of Punishment that my father returned from. He wants the officials he chooses to be in charge of the Ministry of Punishment."

Zhong Xing pointed at Yunze's forehead: "He is a smart boy."

Yun Ze held Zhong Xing's finger: "Jun Wang, don't poke my forehead, and I'm not a child, you are not a few years older than me."

Yunze thinks that King Ruijun should be in his early twenties, at most 24 years old.

Zhong Xing has a handsome face and unique temperament, it is difficult to guess his exact age.

Therefore, the safest course of action for An Lehou is to plead guilty to the regent and resign from the position of minister of punishment, and let the people of the regent handle this hot potato. Seeing that he is smart, the regent will naturally arrange other suitable official positions for him.Since then, the Yun family has been included in the regent's camp, and although they will not be prominent in the future, they will be stable.

However, An Lehou is an official fan, does he pursue stability?He really pursues stability and sleeps at home with the title of marquis every day. Why go to the officialdom to get angry?Asking him to give up his hard-won official position as a minister is tantamount to cutting his flesh.

The most risky approach is to bite the bullet and fight against Princess Huaishu, offending the emperor's forces.

When Princess Huaishu is convicted, the regent may or may not accept An Lehou.Even if the regent accepts him and doesn't give him enough protection, An Lehou will be targeted by the emperor's forces.

The desperate way is not to give face to the regent, not to come to the regent's camp, and not to deal with this case.With the prince regent's character and means, An Lehou will definitely die thoroughly, and the two sons Yunze and Yunyang will also die with him.

"I'm only worried about one thing," Yunze said. "My father's abilities and status are good. I shouldn't be made things difficult for him to join the regent. I think my father may have offended him by doing this."

There was a slight smile in Zhong Xing's long and narrow eyes: "Oh? How could An Lehou offend the regent?"

"I don't know either." Yunze looked nervously at Zhong Xing, "The king of the county, the regent, does the old man like to sit together? It's the kind where one person commits crimes and punishes the nine clans..."

"I seem to like it very much." Zhong Xing said, "I like it very much."

Yunze's mood fell instantly.

Zhong Xingdao: "However, if you beg me well, maybe I can save the lives of your whole family."

Yunze hurriedly rubbed Zhong Xing's shoulders and beat his legs: "Jun Wang, I am super obedient! I will do whatever you ask me to do!"

Kneading to the top of Zhong Xing's arm, Yunze pinched it seriously: "Sure enough, there are muscles, and they are hard."

And the lines are clear, and it feels very good to the touch.

Yun Ze thought of an important question: "Jun Wang, do you have eight-pack or six-pack? How did you get it?"

Zhong Xing grabbed Yunze's waist and slipped him aside: "Get up at Mao every day to practice martial arts."

Yunze tidied up his clothes, he saw the chestnuts in the fruit plate: "Your Majesty, can I eat?"

Of course you can, even the regent's tofu is eaten, what else can't be eaten.

It's just that the chestnut shells are thick and difficult to peel, and Yunze is clumsy, so a certain regent had to peel a plate of chestnuts for Yunze himself.
