Bamboo Raw Huaian

Since Thirteen and the prince had a similar heart and mind, it was inevitable that the words and actions of the two would inadvertently bring a bit of intimacy.Others might not be able to sense anything, but they obviously couldn't hide from Shen Yao, the scourge that has happened among thousands of flowers.

It was before that Tian Shisan was stopped by Shen Yao as soon as he went out, stalking and beating hard and softly, forcing Shisan to accept a treat for wine.And on the grounds that the prince paid the money anyway, he settled on the most famous restaurant in the capital.

……

Shisan stood at the door of the Acacia Building, looking up at the three big characters flying and dancing on the newly replaced plaque, feeling a little complicated.

At that time, his father was newly recruited by Tanhualang, and he asked someone to take his wife and children from his hometown in the south of the Yangtze River to the capital. This was the time when scholars were at their most energetic.

An adult knows how to restrain himself, but he is only eight or nine years old, exactly the age that does not know what humility is.Relying on his own intelligence, his father is a newcomer, so he is a bit frivolous.

He remembered that day when his father brought him back from visiting someone, he saw a restaurant in the blink of an eye on the road, and the words "Xiangsilou" on the plaque were soft and nondescript.

Immediately, he was full of playfulness, urged his father to go in, grabbed a broken board, and swiped a pen, the three words "Xiangsilou" were left behind with the righteousness of a young man.

It is not necessary to force people to accept it, and if they do not accept it, they will not leave.

……

Ten years later, Thirteen stood in front of the Acacia Tower again, looking at his masterpiece that even the king of heaven, Lao Tzu, could not stop him.

...I can't wait to pull out a crack in the ground and get in.

"Yo, the thirteenth son came early."

There is no need to look back, only Shen Yao can say hello thousands of times.

Thirteen reluctantly pulled his consciousness out of the cracks in the ground, and with a calm expression on his face, he bowed slightly and saluted: "Master Shen is well."

Shen Yao approached with a smile, and stood side by side under the plaque with Thirteen: "Make Mr. Shen look extravagant—how about calling elder brother Yao to listen?"

"..."

Thirteen turned his head to look at him, and felt that Mr. Shen was suave and suave today, and his peach blossom eyes looked extraordinarily...

asshole.

Thirteen said flatly, "Your Excellency was joking."

Shen Yao seemed to come here on a special trip to add to the trouble, and looked up at the ugly plaque: "Isn't that a good word?"

"..."

"Very good." Shisan blinked, pretending to be confused with understanding, "Master Shen gave the question?"

"That's not true, but I'd like to see the writer—well, I guess soon."

"?"

Soon?

What is coming soon?

Shen Yao in that room whetted his appetite, didn't realize it at all, stepped into the Acacia Building, and didn't forget to wave to Thirteen: "What are you doing there?"

Thirteen regained his composure for a while, and hurriedly walked a few steps to catch up with Shen Yao.

At this time, Xiaoer had already come to greet him, Shisanyi couldn't ask more questions for a while, so he closed his mouth and obediently followed behind Shen Yao.

The second child knew Shen Yao well, and said proficiently, "Master Shen, why don't you go to the room you often come to?"

"Well, the dishes will be served as they are." Shen Yao said, "A few more sweet ones, we have guests today."

"Come on, please take care of me."

After being seated and the food served, Shisan had another chance to pick up the topic that the unscrupulous Young Master Shen had forgotten in the back of his mind.

"Master Shen's meaning just now, did you find the person who wrote the inscription for this restaurant?"

"Well, it's coming soon. That kid's father was a Tanhualang back then, counting the years, and now he has some status in the court." Shen Yao conveniently picked up chopsticks for him, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, "Try it, I heard His Highness said you like it. .”

He said again: "A few days ago, I entrusted some friends from the official department to help. I think it will not be difficult to find."

Thirteen Hearts said that was impossible.

After his father's accident that year, he was sold to Nanfeng Pavilion.Later, I went back and forth several times to investigate the case back then, and found that someone had tampered with his identity, and everyone assumed that Duan Guangling's only son died shortly after the accident.

Thirteen heaved a sigh of relief, who knew that Shen Yao had found out which young master had suffered eight lifetimes of misfortune, anyway, if he couldn't be found.

With his current status, he really didn't want to be recognized again.

In this sense, the man who played tricks on his life experience is very considerate.

Seeing that he didn't speak for a long time, Shen Yao asked, "Are you also interested in this person?"

"..."

This is not necessary.

Shen Yao said: "You're so shameless, I'll just drag you along after I find someone." After a pause, he got closer, and said bastard, "I've never seen you being reserved with Your Highness every day."

He was caught off guard when the topic changed, Shisanyi didn't know what to do for a while, so he replied reflexively: "Mr. points, making people laugh."

Shen Yao was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect him to say this, he paused: "The betrothal gift has already been paid, His Highness heard your words, it will inevitably cause trouble for him."

Thirteen didn't think much about what he said just now, and felt that it was wrong and was about to explain, when he suddenly heard the word dowry, he forgot what to say, and asked, "What dowry?"

Now it was Shen Yao's turn to be surprised: "You don't know?" He raised his chin, "Did His Highness give you a jade pendant?"

Thirteen blinked.

"When the Holy Majesty and His Highness were born, the former emperor gave each of them a piece of mutton fat jade pendant, the piece of the Holy Majesty was engraved with Cang Zong, and the piece of His Majesty was engraved with the Dao of Kun, implying that he would hand over the emperor's land to the two.

"The Holy Majesty's piece is nothing, it's just a decoration. His Highness's piece was later used as a token of King Huai'an, seeing it as if seeing someone, and it was rumored in private that it was a betrothal gift to wait for his wife."

"His Highness knows about this?"

"You know, there is something in the palace that can be hidden from him." Shen Yao said carelessly, "We all thought you knew it too."

Of course he doesn't know!

The Huai'an jade pendant was given by the prince after he blocked Zhou Fan from entering the palace and got a slash on the neck. He said that he could summon the hidden guards just in case.At that time, he was still struggling to protect himself. You must know that this also implies a promise of love, so he must never dare to accept it.

So my lord...

Shen Yao saw that the person opposite didn't know what he was thinking, for a long while, he pursed his lips and did not speak, his phoenix eyes were full of smiles.

Shen Yao silently rolled his eyes, thinking in his heart that he had done a great job, and he had to talk to the prince when he went back.

Thinking so in my heart, I didn't look at Thirteen again.

Shen Yao poured himself a glass of wine, leaned back on the chair as if he had no bones, sips, and looked out the window boredly.

It was lunch time, and Suzaku Street was very lively.

Those who call for friends, those who walk around the streets, those who drink away their sorrows, those who spend money to laugh...

A city of prosperous Kyoto, half of the bustling Suzaku Street.

Shen Yao shook the wine in the glass, and was about to tilt his head to tell Shisan to look out more, so don't just smirk there.

Just as he was about to leave the window, there was a sudden pause.

Thirteen felt it, he was taken aback for a moment, followed his gaze to look out of the window: "Master Shen?"

On the bustling Zhuque Street, people come and go, among the many unfamiliar faces, there is one that Thirteen knows.

"That's... Mr. Zhou?"

Shen Yao frowned: "This kid isn't going to the Ministry of Rites today, what is he doing here?"

After hearing this, Thirteen felt inexplicably nervous, and went to see Zhou Fan again.

It was strange that such a pampered young master as Zhou Fan didn't take a sedan chair or attendant this time.Only three or four guards followed.

If you look closely, the three or four guards are all pressing on the handle of the knife, and they are actually in a posture of preparing to attack.

Thirteen felt that the posture of the guards with their knives was a bit strange, so he stared at it for a while, then suddenly raised his head:

"It's Yan people."

Shen Yao was taken aback.

Thirteenth said: "With Zhou Fan's status, it is reasonable to say that he shouldn't have direct contact with the Yan people. It's too risky. I'm afraid Mr. Ge was forced to take action this time. I don't know if His Highness can get the news... He paused for a moment, and then said quickly, "Master Shen, please keep an eye on this side. I'll go find Your Highness now."

After all, without waiting for Shen Yao to respond, he saluted and hurried away.

Shen Yao watched him go out, looked downstairs for a while according to his words, and suddenly came back to his senses, feeling a little delicate in his heart.

The little singer in the palace has always been gentle and humble. The only time he was tough was when Zhou Fan broke into the palace last time.

He was not there at that time, and he was curious about how such a docile person became tough after a few days.

I did see it this time.

While paying attention to the movement downstairs, Shen Yao caressed the cup unconsciously with his fingers, and hooked the corners of his lips indistinctly.

……

When Shisan hurried to the palace, the prince was discussing matters in the front hall.

"...The prince let them into the city?! Grandma's Beiyan gang of thieves are crazy! They really dare to bite anyone!"

"What else was found?"

"Your Highness, the assassin insisted that he had already contacted the palace, and the assassination that day was actually exchanging information with the palace."

"Clumsy as hell!"

"Your Highness holds great power, why bother to join forces with Bei Yan!"

"Oh, there must be a purpose in colluding with Beiyan! What is the purpose?"

"According to the assassin's statement, the purpose is to assassinate Zhou Fan."

"Kill Zhou Fan?!"

"Anyone with a discerning eye knows that His Highness is not dealing with the old man. This, this empty talk, is too ridiculous."

"Yes! This is ridiculous!"

"It's not empty talk." Thirteen couldn't wait to report, and pushed the door open, "Zhou Fan was found by the Yan people on Zhuque Street, and Master Shen is watching."

There was a moment of silence in the hall.

After a while, the prince on the main seat said in a deep voice: "Come on.

"Look for Zhou Fan on Suzaku Street. If the people of Yan show signs of doing something, they must ensure Zhou Shangshu's safety."

"Here!"

The dark guard led the order to go out.

After a few more breaths, one person said: "Nothing will happen to Zhou Fan. Now we can be sure that Mr. Ge Zhou and the Beiyan people colluded, and this matter must have come from Mr. Ge. If this is the case, Mr. Ge will not treat his son as a A chess piece that must die."

"But if Zhou Fan is not dead, Beiyan Assassin's own words alone may not be able to threaten His Highness's status. Furthermore, the old clan and His Highness have always been at odds. The assassin is so sure about biting His Highness. Anyone will suspect that the old clan and Beiyan It is related to Yan, which can be said to be harmful to the old clan and has no benefit."

Someone murmured: "What is Zhou Ge always going to do..."

……

Suzaku Street, a dark alley.

Zhou Fan was dressed in a brocade red robe, with an emerald green Xiuyan jade pendant on his waist.

This is his usual attire when he has nothing to do and invites his friends to drink and eat meat.

That cloud brocade was bestowed on the Zhou family by the emperor himself, and the workmanship and embroidery are all top-notch. On the day the reward was delivered to Zhou's mansion, Elder Zhou Ge gave it to him directly.From then on, this outfit became the confidence of Mr. Zhou to brag about.

The Xiuyan jade pendant was tied on by Mr. Ge himself when Zhou Fan held the crowning ceremony at the age of 20, implying to ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters and to live a long life.It stands to reason that this jade pendant is not Zhou Fan's best-looking one, but he always carries it with him. Others say that Mr. Zhou is short-sighted and ignorant this week.

Zhou Fan treasured these two things closely on weekdays, and they couldn't get any dust on them.

Now it's muddy and blood splattered, it's too dirty to look at.

The blood splashed out from the blood hole in his chest, and a few drops splashed on the face that had always been domineering and domineering.

Anyone who knows Mr. Tuesday knows that this is a master who kills people with his mouth shut, but is actually terribly afraid of blood.

But his own blood splashed on his face, but Zhou Fan didn't have time to be afraid.

The last expression he left in this world was blank.

He couldn't figure out why his father, whom he trusted so much, wanted his life.
