This shadow guard, you are enlightened

Zhuo Ying thought of this, and Xing Chenxiu naturally thought of it, his eyes darkened a bit: "All plans must be based on the premise of ensuring the safety of the Holy One."

"It's just planning for the worst, of course it won't make it to that point." Xing Chenmu saw that both of them were frowning deeply and their faces were serious, but he laughed out loud, "Why are you all looking at me like this, I don't want to die."

Xing Chenmu never called himself "I" in front of Xing Chenxiu, and his words were mostly intimacy. He obviously didn't intend to talk about this topic anymore, and he didn't want them to worry, so he changed the subject and started to care about his brother's body.

Xing Chenxiu's weakness in front of outsiders is caused by taking medicine. Although he has repeatedly emphasized that he only needs to take the antidote to recover after everything is over, Xing Chenmu is still worried that taking medicine for a long time will affect his body, and he wants to solve everything as soon as possible. , so that he can resume a healthy routine.

"What can I do? It's been fine for so many years, don't worry about it." Xing Chenxiu was a little helpless, then recalled the news he got yesterday, raised his eyes and asked, "I heard that my uncle sent you two female officials ?”

"Yes, Master Xiang, Ning Yuan, I really can't offend anyone now." Xing Chenmu chuckled, showing a bit of helplessness.

"Just bear with it for a while, since they have begun to lose their composure, they are not far away from killing them all." Xing Chenxiu paused, and then said: "It's just that I didn't expect that the master would get involved in this matter." One hand..."

The prime minister of the dynasty, Gongsun Shangde, was the teacher who taught Xing Chenmu and Xing Chenxiu back then. He was also a good friend of Xing Chenxiu's grandfather. In Xing Chenxiu's heart, he always regarded him as a respectable elder. Gongsun Shangde never wanted to Participating in those miscellaneous affairs between the various factions, only loyal to the imperial court, this time this move is really unexpected.

"I was also surprised at the beginning, but after thinking about it, I realized that the master is in his twilight years, and his only son is so ambitious. To be the servant of the official department is already taking advantage of the prime minister. I am afraid that it will be difficult to be promoted. When the master is old, Even if the Gongsun family is completely in decline, sending the niece into the palace is just to hope that the family can rely on it." Everyone has selfishness, although Xing Chenmu was a little surprised by the prime minister, it is not incomprehensible.

People often say that once the emperor has one courtier, it’s not that the emperor can’t tolerate the old ministers, but that when the power changes, the hearts of the people will inevitably change. Some people are eager to move, and some are watching the fire from the other side, but those who call themselves veterans are indeed dedicated to the court. I have spent my whole life working hard, and it is inevitable that I will chill people's hearts if I move easily.

Xing Chenmu can only gradually cultivate his confidantes and slowly exchange blood for the court. This will be a complicated and long process.

"Then you really don't consider accepting the concubine? Have you thought about offending the civil and military of the court for one person?" Xing Chenxiu said, looking at Zhuo Ying from the corner of his eyes. In many things, Xing Chenmu did not shy away from his elder brother. The fact that the heart belongs to him, he told Xing Chenxiu as early as the beginning of understanding his own mind.

"It's not for him. People have to be persistent in their lives. I'm doing it for myself."

Xing Chenxiu smiled, noncommittal.

Xing Chenxiu himself has always lived a casual life, and he does not reject popular male favorites among the people, but it is really difficult for him to understand Xing Chenmu's single-minded and paranoid feelings. Fortunately, at least he knows how to respect Xing Chenmu's choice.

At this time, he would never have thought that because of Xing Chenmu's decision to let him go to the northern border, let him meet his own deep love, he can finally understand the importance of love, how could it be those Fame and fortune are within reach.

State affairs and family affairs were pretty much discussed, Xing Chenxiu didn't stay in the palace much, after all he was called "sick and weak", went to the Empress Dowager's place to pay his respects, and then went straight back to Yong'an Palace.

And almost as soon as Xing Chenxiu stepped out of Xuanming Palace, Xing Chenmu turned around and asked, "Are you angry?"

He and Zhuo Ying were the only two people in the hall at this time, Zhuo Ying was the one who asked the question, he was still holding the silver half face, and he was not in a hurry to return it to the other party, holding it in his hand and playing with it.

"Subordinates don't dare." Zhuo Ying lowered her head, her gaze fell on that half of her face.

"Don't get angry or don't dare to get angry?" Xing Chenmu obviously didn't intend to let him go, "Look up at me."

"Subordinates won't be angry with His Majesty." Having said that, Zhuo Ying's complexion was really not good, maybe he himself realized this, and added after speaking: "I just think you should pay more attention to your own safety. "

"Brother Wang and you are people I trust. I also know that this is against the rules. I have wronged you. Why don't I make it up to you? If you have anything you want, just mention it." Since the two met, Zhuo Ying has never been in Xing Chenmu Showing any personal likes and dislikes in front of him, if he wants to make Zhuo Ying happy, he really can't think of how to do it for a while.

In fact, Xing Chenmu often asked Zhuo Ying what reward he wanted, but he almost never got a response. He thought it would be the same result this time, but Zhuo Ying knelt down again after his words: "I do have something to ask for. "

"Oh?" Xing Chenmu was really surprised now, "Let me tell you, as long as I can do it, I will definitely satisfy you."

"The situation is tense, and my subordinates have arranged to double the number of shadow guards in the courtyard. Can you increase the number of personal guards?" Xing Chenmu has always been somewhat resistant to the matter of personal guards, so before he agreed, Zhuo Ying did not dare to deploy at will. .

Xing Chenmu was silent for a while, and asked, "Is this what you're asking for?"

"Yes, I hope the Holy Spirit will grant you."

Zhuo Ying has always put Xing Chenmu first in his heart, and he has never asked for anything for himself in the past few years. Xing Chenmu looked at Zhuo Ying, and Zhuo Ying was also looking up at him at this time.

Perhaps because of breaking away from that mask, it was hard to hide all emotions. Looking at each other, Xing Chenmu clearly saw the unconcealable affection in the other's eyes.

What Zhuo Ying said was not love words, or in other words, these words were very common to Zhuo Ying, but at this moment, Xing Chenmu's mind was almost blank, and he even forgot to breathe.

He repeatedly confirmed whether it was because of his deep obsession that he had hallucinations, but when the thought arose in his mind, and then recalled the past, he felt that Zhuo Ying's emotions did not come without warning.

Many times, Xing Chenmu carefully tried to test his own position in Zhuo Ying's heart. He also doubted it, but he was still not sure.

Until this moment, he felt that he didn't need to have the slightest doubt anymore, Zhuo Ying and him were indeed in love with each other.

Zhuo Ying didn't understand what Xing Chenmu was thinking, but saw that his face changed a few times, and couldn't help but get nervous: "My lord?"

Xing Chenmu closed his eyes, suppressing the excitement and the urge to hug someone in his arms desperately.

not the right time yet.He kept telling himself in his heart, took a deep breath, finally turned his eyes away and said: "Let me think about this matter, and I will give you an answer later."

"Yes."

Xing Chenmu returned the half face to Zhuo Ying, and called people into the palace to serve him. If there were only the two of them at this time, he really couldn't guarantee that he would lose control and do something.

Before returning to the case, he continued to review the rest of the memorial. Xing Chenmu maintained his superficial calm, but his heart was still ecstatic. Zhu Bi was hanging there in a daze, and Yan Qing, who was waiting beside her, didn't dare to breathe, just thought that something serious had happened.

After a while, Xing Chenmu also seemed to realize that something was wrong, and finally he forced his attention to look at the ink writing, and he really frowned after seeing it.

The excerpt is written by the Minister of Rites, and it is about the Longevity Festival.

The 15th Wanshou Festival in the twelfth lunar month, every year at this time, there will be a large banquet in the palace. Xing Chenmu receives the congratulations and gifts from the princes and officials in the imperial palace, and special things will be presented as birthday gifts from various places.

In previous years, most of the preparations for the Longevity Festival would start more than a month in advance, but this year, because of Xing Chenmu's twenty-year-old general's crowning ceremony, it has received special attention. This booklet alone has written a few pages. According to the Ministry of Rites, this is just a preliminary It is conceived, and the detailed arrangements will be made after the Zhubi Royal Approval.

Xing Chenmu has a different view on this.

Border wars are imminent, food, war preparations, and military pay all have to be paid out of the national treasury. What's more, once a war breaks out, except for the border soldiers, the people will be most affected. If gifts and taxes are still levied at this time, what a burden it will be for the people .

Zhuo Ying stood behind Xing Chenmu, originally she was only worried when she saw that he hadn't moved for a long time, but when she looked over, she happened to see his reply to this matter, and couldn't help feeling pain in her heart.

Not to mention being an aristocrat, even if it is just an ordinary family, it is a big deal for a man to get a crown, but for Xing Chenmu today, he has too much to consider. Compared with him, his birthday is the least important thing among them.

Zhuo Ying knew that he couldn't do anything for Xing Chenmu with his own standpoint, he lowered his eyes, the unspeakable emotion in his heart was interrupted by the shadow guard who entered.

Seeing the person coming, Zhuo Ying was taken aback, and exchanged glances with Xing Chenmu, Xing Chenmu immediately understood and dismissed the irrelevant people.

There are thousands of people under the Shadow Guard, and Xing Chenmu couldn't remember everyone clearly, but Zhuo Ying could clearly distinguish each subordinate. At this time, he lowered his head and whispered in Xing Chenmu's ear, "Send to meet with Zhou Qiyou. people are back."

Xing Chenmu only felt that the exhaled breath of the other party hit the pinnae of the ear, making him distracted, and he almost exhausted all his strength to restrain himself, so that he could barely focus on the meaning of Zhuo Ying's words, rather than this slightly intimate gesture.

The author has something to say: Your Majesty understands~ is it soon~
