Ji Sheng was quite surprised to see Xiao Rong again.

The herbs in the courtyard are obviously beginning to wither, and the scene of decay makes people sad and restless, but as long as he stands in one of them in white clothes, the surrounding scenery seems to come alive suddenly, and he becomes a picture of a unique beauty with him. .

Ji Sheng had an unreal feeling. He took two steps forward and held Xiao Rong's hand. It wasn't until the warm touch wrapped around his wrist like a soft vine that he realized that the person he was thinking of had indeed come. by myself.

Xiao Rong's eyes were drooping, with faint tears, she sighed softly, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she just lightly shook Ji Cheng's hand.

Ji Sheng led Xiao Rong into the house, poured him a cup of hot tea, turned around and met Xiao Rong's eyes, and found that he was frowning at him.

Xiao Rong sighed again, and said, "Your Highness, you have lost weight."

Ji Sheng smiled lightly, handed the hot tea to Xiao Rong, and said, "What can a down and out prince do?"

Xiao Rong held Ji Cheng's hand to offer tea, but suddenly knelt down towards him and said, "Your Highness, Rong Ge is sorry for you."

"Rongge, why are you doing this?" Ji Cheng hurriedly asked Xiao Rong to get up, but Xiao Rong refused, so Ji Cheng squatted down and said softly, "Rongge, Kyoto is a place where right and wrong are hard to tell. How can I not know that I grew up in the palace? You told me that you were indebted to Wei Xinglin, so you have been doing things for him, I can understand."

Xiao Rong said: "But Your Highness is also very kind to Rong Ge, but Rong Ge has indeed done something that hurt His Highness, and she cannot resign even if she dies, but she still comes to see His Highness with a shy face."

"Rongge, I'm very happy that you came to see me." Ji Sheng stretched out his hand and brushed a few strands of messy hair from Xiao Rong's ears behind his ears, then gently squeezed Xiao Rong's white and soft earlobes, and said, "Ningzhou leads The three cases that came out were all written by Chu Bandit. Since he was a child, he has looked like the common people in the world can't do without him. He prides himself on being noble and thinks that we are all filthy villains, but in the end he himself is not for power. Doing things that are completely devoid of conscience? But, man is not for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him, and his skill is also his ability, and I admire him for that."

Xiao Rong raised her hand to cover Ji Sheng's lips, and said, "I know His Highness is a compassionate person, so don't say these things."

Ji Cheng laughed out loud when he heard the words, and said, "Ronge, it's just that you think I'm a good person, I know it myself, I'm a despicable person."

Xiao Rong shook her head and said: "Ronge only remembers that when I brought the opera troupe to Beijing, I lived on the streets and was bullied, and it was His Highness who came to rescue me."

Ji Cheng was stunned when he heard that.

In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the reason why he was willing to save the troupe who was being bullied by the hooligans four years ago was because he fell in love with Xiao Rong's peerless face and wanted to keep it for himself and send him to the house. On the belt, he was dirty and dirty with his heart, but when he saw Xiao Rong thanking him, he looked at him with a pair of eyes that were so clear that there was no trace of impurities, like a deer that strayed into the world by mistake. I suddenly want to wait forever for this cleanliness instead of rushing to get dirty.

So later, as the fifth prince, he secretly solved a lot of troubles for Xiao Rong, accompanied him step by step to build Xuefangyuan, helped him become the owner of Xuefangyuan, and watched him dazzle on the stage, becoming everyone in the capital. The well-known character "Yi Zhi Nian".

In every scene he ever played, he would be there.

In the past countless nights, they met in the Bi Li Pavilion, enjoyed the flowers together for the last month, and made wine and tea. He would always lean on his shoulder lightly, call His Highness over and over again, and then bloom in the silence and a little drunk, Like the epiphyllum under the moon, I came here only to step on the moon.

Ji Sheng lowered his head and planted a kiss on Xiao Rong's cheek, saying, "I'm not a kind person, but in front of you, it's okay."

Xiao Rong finally smiled at him and said, "Your Highness is still the same as before, and his attitude towards Rong Ge has not changed at all."

Ji Cheng helped Xiao Rong up, and the two sat down next to each other. Xiao Rong seemed to have fulfilled some long-cherished wish, and let out a long breath, and said, "To be honest, Rong Ge came out with Jin Luanwei's eyeliner on his back today. I want to deliver a message to Your Highness."

Ji Sheng thought for a moment, then asked, "Is there any news from the palace?"

Xiao Rong said: "Your Highness guessed right, it was Chu Shangshu and the others who wanted to quickly help the prince to the throne, so they let the prince tamper with the emperor's soup, medicine and meals. Now the emperor has not noticed it and is already seriously ill."

Ji Sheng couldn't help squinting his eyes halfway, and said: "My imperial brother is too impatient, the Wang family has just collapsed, and I can't wait to take that position."

Xiao Rong sighed lightly: "The prince and His Highness have never been on good terms, Rong Ge was afraid that he would attack His Highness again, so he came here to tell you."

Ji Cheng smiled and said: "Of course I know, it's already a great kindness for you to tell me this time, I have to find a way to expose this matter."

While talking, Ji Cheng hugged Xiao Rong and let him lean on his shoulder, gently stroking his face, while Xiao Rong closed his eyes, quiet and docile, like a very well-behaved deer.

Around the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, the new salt and iron policy was finally finalized. The idea of ​​setting up salt and iron transfer envoys in each state was first proposed by Zhao Liangyue and was adopted. The new management system has been fully formulated and only needs to be implemented nationwide.

At the same time, an imperial doctor discovered a chronic poison unique to Tu Yuan in the emperor's meal. Emperor Ping Chong was furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the palace, but someone in the palace found the same poison in the East Palace. Emperor Ping Chong then recruited Jixuan. Entering Nuan Pavilion for accountability, the father and son stayed for a day and a night, and finally Emperor Ping Chong beheaded the palace man, and the matter came to an end.

At the beginning of September, the Ministry of Officials and Yushitai carried out inspections and transfers of officials of the fourth rank as usual. For a while, there were undercurrents in all parties, and there was another turmoil, but no one could have imagined that they would go with Chu Shangshu, who was on the rise. The nearest commander of Jin Luanwei, Xing Shuo, was transferred outside because of calling Jin Luanwei privately several times.

Where is the external transfer?It is the Zhennan Army where Han Zhou is, and he serves as the captain of the cavalry.

The day before Xing Shuo left Beijing, Bi'er brought Shen Linglan's child to Xiao's house for a temporary stay as promised.

"He's so small!"

In the study, Dongchan looked at the pink and jade-carved dumpling in her infancy, her eyes opened wide, and the little guy looked at me and I looked at you, and wanted to touch her, but felt that the little guy looked too fragile, like A fragile porcelain doll, so I dare not move it.

Bi'er saw what Dong Chan was thinking, and said with a smile, "Do you want to hug him? He's been looking at you all the time."

"Can I hug?" Dongchan eagerly asked excitedly, "But I've never hugged a child before."

"It's okay, I can teach you."

Bi'er said as she leaned over and slowly handed the little guy to Dongchan, and taught him how to hug him, Dongchan didn't dare to breathe out, and was careful.

Just as he thought, the little thing is very light and soft, and it exudes the fragrance of milk all over its body. Its round eyes are like grapes, and it looks at Dong Chan curiously, giggling from time to time.

Dong Chan felt her heart melted, and said, "I will treat him as my own brother from now on, and I will take good care of him!"

Hearing the sound, the man who had been reading after the case raised his head and saw a half-grown child who was not as tall as his own waistline, holding a little one, like two gourds born together, and couldn't help smiling: "You don't have any When you grow up, you still take care of others?"

Dong Chan pouted dissatisfiedly, but didn't dare to quibble, she could only stand still with her back to Xiao Rong with the little guy in her arms.

Xiao Rong smiled and shook her head, got up and went to Bi'er, and said: "Chu Shangshu and the others should also leave Beijing to go south in the spring, so we discussed at that time to let you live in Xiao's house. Although you can't walk freely, you can eat There are all kinds of wearables, so just ask if you need anything.”

Bi'er hurriedly knelt down and made a big salute, and said: "My servant thanked Mr. Xiao for your kindness on behalf of Miss and Young Master!"

"You're welcome, just stay here with peace of mind." Xiao Rong helped Bi'er up, and said, "My mother also likes children very much. When my mother wakes up from a nap, you can just go there."

Bi'er thanked Xiao Rong again, and Dong Chan at the side realized who the child in her arms was, and immediately felt a lot of sadness, and asked Xiao Rong: "My lord, like me, he was born with a lot of troubles. How difficult is it?"

Xiao Rong nodded.

Dongchan was a baby he saved from the Maozhou plague.

In Maozhou at that time, hunger was everywhere, and the people were in dire straits, and there was even a phenomenon of changing children to eat.

When Xiao Rong passed by a village, his eyes were full of desolation and sparsely populated. There was only one house where there was still smoke from the kitchen. He was equipped with a pot and a kitchen knife, and the adults looked at him when they heard the sound. The two eyes on the yellow and thin face were like holes, and there was only ashes-like numbness and dazedness inside.

In the end, Xiao Rong had no choice but to give them the food he had brought, and took away the two children.The two children, one big and one small, the oldest is six years old and the youngest is only five months old, can't speak.On the way to leave, because there was no food, the older child, who was so hungry, made up his mind in the middle of the night, but was stopped and reprimanded by Xiao Rong when he found out. The child miraculously survived and persisted to the next town.

Afterwards, Xiao Rong named the child Dong Chan and raised her by her side, taught him to write and practice martial arts, as if he was half of his family—although Xiao Rong actually didn't want to have any more family members.

"It's a pity, even A Niang didn't take a good look at it." Dongchan looked at the little guy smiling at him in his arms, and felt pain in his heart.

The little guy is ignorant and carefree. He eats his own saliva and fists, and stretches out his hands to grab things randomly, having a great time.

When the little guy touched the safety lock on Dongchan's neck, Dongchan had a flash of inspiration and said, "Yes, I was the young master who gave me this safety lock at that time, and it has been safe until now. Now I put this safety lock I'll give you the lock, okay?"

Bi'er could see that the safety lock was very important to Dong Chan, so she came over and said, "How can this be done? This safety lock has feelings for you, and I'll give the young master another one later."

"It's okay." Dong Chan gently scratched the little guy's nose, and said, "My only worry is that the safety lock collar is too big for him, let me think about it... I have it! Wait for me to turn around Find a red string to hang a safety lock on and give it to him."

Bi'er turned to look at Xiao Rong, Xiao Rong nodded to her, Bi'er then thanked Dongchan.
