After nightfall, there was a wind outside the window.

Shu Changyu was wearing a big cloak, and was sitting by the window reading a book under the lamp.A gust of wind swept in through the open window, flipping dozens of pages of the book in his hand.Shu Changyu was stunned for a moment, then simply put the book back on the table and looked up out of the window.

The lanterns under the porch were also swayed from side to side by the wind, and the lights inside were flickering on and off.

Kong Qing came in through the curtain and saw this scene.Shu Changyu just sat on the air vent so boldly, his long hair was blown by the wind.

He froze for a moment, for some reason, he suddenly remembered that after the third young master fell from his horse on Chang'an Street, he was sitting in front of the window like this, facing the wide open window.

The young master at that time, although he lost face in Beijing, he was still a person who was like a spring breeze, and his smile was as gentle as jade.Sitting in front of the peach blossoms all over the window, he really looks like a celestial being exiled from the nine heavens.But today, perhaps the lights were too dim, and in the eyes of the third young master, there was a deep and dead silence, which made people feel empty and cold for no reason.

He froze for a moment, and hurried forward to close the window for Shu Changyu.

"Young master is still ill, how dare you blow it like this!" Kong Qing complained.He cautiously glanced sideways at the young master - he only knew that many things had happened in the mansion in the past two days, but he didn't know anything about what happened.He carefully reminded: "Master, be careful not to catch a cold."

"It's raining a lot this year." Shu Changyu said, facing the window. "It looks like it's going to rain again."

"...Isn't it?" Kong Qing replied in a low voice. "Give the young master an extra blanket tonight."

Shu Changyu hummed, and looked up at him: "How is the Prince Dun's Mansion?"

Kong Qing blinked: "My lord asked the little one to tell you, and said that everything was according to your orders, and he went back to investigate the assassination with peace of mind - and said, young master, you must take care of your health, no..." He paused , said with a red face. "No mistakes are allowed."

Shu Changyu lowered his eyes and burst out laughing.

Kong Qing saw his look so alive in an instant, paused, and said again: "But...young master, I came back today and met the old lady."

Shu Chang Yu raised his head.

"The old lady said that the little one is not allowed to have the slightest contact with Prince Dun's mansion." Kong Qing whispered. "Let you just take care of your illness and don't go to her."

Shu Changyu's expression changed, and he hummed slowly: "If you don't let me go to her, you will pass a message to my mother for me."

"Master, please tell me."

"In two days, I will recover from my illness, and I will return to the court. At that time, I will ask the emperor to take back what my mother asked the emperor to do for me. I am in poor health, and my heart is in the court. Separating the family is a big deal. , I don’t need a son with outstanding political achievements. Therefore, I will definitely live in the capital and serve my mother.”

Hearing this, Kong Qing nodded in a daze.

Shu Changyu picked up the teacup on the table, smacked his eyes and said, "Go down."

Kong Qing responded.

"Did Princess Danyao come to Beijing?" Shu Zhang Yu paused, stopped him and asked.

Kong Qing paused, and thought for a long time before he remembered who this Princess Danyao was.He nodded and said: "It is true that she has gone to Beijing. But this year is not the time for her to visit the emperor in Beijing, so she came here privately."

This is different from previous lives.Shu Changyu frowned and asked, "Do you know why?"

Kong Qing froze for a moment, then shook his head.

Shu Changyu thought of Princess Danyao's trip to Beijing that was different from his previous life, and also thought of Zhao Langzhi who should not have appeared in the capital.His brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and some bad thoughts suddenly rose in his heart.

"Go check it out," he said.

Kong Qing nodded yes.

"Go and take a message to Prince Dun, just say..." Shu Changyu paused and sighed when he said this. "never mind."

There is nothing to be afraid of these two people.After staying for two days, let's talk after meeting Jing Mu.

-

"You royal poem, you must recite it clearly. When your father comes tomorrow, recite it to him. Your father will definitely like it. Shaoer, do you remember?"

The queen sat under the lamp, holding the hand of the third son Jing Shao, and instructed.

The boy under the lamp was fair and handsome.He stood in front of the queen with a cute and innocent expression.He nodded and replied seriously: "I remember."

Seeing this, the queen smiled happily.She stuffed the booklet into Jing Shao's hands, and praised: "Our Shao'er has been different from the children in other palaces since we were young, which is the most worry-free. You are so outstanding, and you are the first son. Dabao, it’s only a matter of time.”

Jing Shao looked at her with flickering eyes, but didn't respond.

"The wind is strong, and it will rain soon." The queen patted his head and said. "Shaoer, let's go back and rest earlier."

Hearing this, Jing Shao bowed and said, "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your concern. My son and minister will leave." Then, he withdrew from the queen's palace.

After entering his own palace, Jing Shao's face turned cold, one corner of his lips curled up, he didn't even look at it, he casually threw the book of imperial poems on the ground, and said with a sneer: "A woman's opinion is hard to make a big deal."

The little eunuch who was following behind him hastily stepped forward and held the treasure on the ground in his hands.

Jing Shao looked sideways, with a mocking smile on his face: "What are you picking it up for? Could it be that you, like that woman, think that if you please the emperor, you can sit back and relax and everything will be fine?"

The little eunuch was stunned for a moment, and quickly put the imperial poem aside on the desk.

Jing Shao sneered again.

He was raised on the lap of the queen himself since he was a child, and he was instilled by the queen in the way of being a king since he was literate.He has seen a lot since he was a child, and he is smart and quick-witted, and he has already had his own ideas.He saw through the emperor's domineering, suspicious and wimpy mind, and he knew that the emperor's elders and concubines didn't work.

Only by defeating those opponents one by one can the suspicious and weak emperor have to choose himself.

However, he can see clearly, but his mother has always been obsessed with obsession. Therefore, he needs to do everything by himself, and he can't count on that woman who has lost her knowledge by the deep palace.

Jing Shao went straight to the seat, raised his hand and waved away the others, and asked the little eunuch, "Tell me why Shu Changyu came back alive and well?"

Hearing the words, the little eunuch quickly knelt down and said, "Your Highness, it's clear! The guards with the long and long metaphors are really vulnerable. They were about to succeed, but... but who would have thought that Prince Dun would go sideways with him."

"Jing Mu?" Jing Shao frowned. "Isn't he in Dali Temple? Why did he follow?"

"This... I don't know."

Jing Shao lowered his eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.

The little eunuch was taken aback for a moment, and quickly slapped himself dozens of times: "Damn the slave! Die the slave!"

Jing Shao glanced at him and turned around.

Jing Shao's first rule here is that he is not allowed to answer "I don't know" for things that have been ordered.

"What's the clue left at the scene?" Jing Shao continued to ask. "I didn't get it done, but I lost a lot of comfort, really damn it."

Ignoring the burning pain on his face, the little eunuch quickly kowtowed and said, "Return to Your Highness, none of the things brought out by the hidden guards were marked at all, and they didn't leave any survivors in his hands..." The little eunuch paused Suddenly, I remembered that the third prince's personal guard had lost an arrow.

But one is that there is no special mark on the arrow, and it is not used on weekdays, and the other is that the arrow may not be lost or used by the hidden guard.He really didn't dare to tell Jing Shao about the things he didn't understand.

Therefore, he stopped talking and didn't say any more.

Jing Shao hummed, and said, "But keeping these two people will cause endless troubles. I thought they were just ordinary teachers and students, but now it seems that Jing Mu is keeping a close eye on his backer."

"Third Highness, here is good news." The little eunuch hurriedly said. "The people on His Majesty's side said that the old lady of the Shu family entered the palace two days ago and was going to send Shu Sanlang to the south to control the water. I don't know what she showed the emperor. The emperor is very happy."

"Oh?" Jing Shao paused, then laughed out loud. "Interesting, this is interesting."

As he said that, he said to himself: "Presumably this Jing Mu is determined to hold on to the Shu family and not let go, but the Shu family dislikes him as a motherless and unloved man. Yuxi will organize it exclusively. Stay tuned for more exciting events." No waste. Now, I'm afraid I want Shu Saburo to stay away from him and make contributions by myself, right?"

"Your Highness is wise!" the little eunuch kowtowed.

"Madam Shu loves her son so much, we naturally want to fulfill it." Jing Shao said with a smile. "I will help her and let her send Aiko far to the south." After a pause, Jing Shao laughed. "However, the coast of the Yellow River is very dangerous. Whether we can return after we go, we don't know."

Just then, a guard called for an interview.Jing Shao nodded to signal the little eunuch to go down, and called the guards to come in.

The guard was travel-stained and brought in a letter.It had started to rain outside, and when the letter was taken out, it was already a little damp.

"Who sent it?" Jing Shao asked.

The guard knelt down on one knee and said: "I don't know his origin, but this man went straight to your guard. He said that this letter will definitely solve your worries at this time, but who is he, you read it Just believe it."

Jing Shao hummed, raised his hand and opened the letter.

There are not many words in the letter, just a few words.Jing Shao lowered his eyes and was stunned for a moment, then a smile appeared on his face.

Facing the letter, he read it back and forth several times, then with a smile on his face, he took off the lampshade next to him, put the letter on the candle, and it burned to ashes in a short while.

"Interesting." He laughed. "This is really a strange person. Not only does he know what I am worried about now, but he also knows how to solve it. What's more interesting is that I don't even know the solution."

When the letter was burned, the ashes were scattered all over the place.

Jing Shao threw the last corner into the candlelight, put the lampshade back, and said: "Tomorrow morning, you will send a few people to follow Chenglai to the south, under the pretext of going to Lingnan to find tea trees for me, and go to Lingnan to help me. Looking for two people. At that time, what to ask and what to bring back, I will obey Cheng Lai's instructions."

Cheng Lai is that little eunuch just now.

The guard nodded yes.

"The person who sent the letter will definitely look for you in the future. Then you find an opportunity and bring him to see me. Go down."

The guard bowed and retreated.

Jing Shao lowered his eyes, and saw the ashes of the letter being blown up by the wind.He turned his face sideways, and saw the violent wind and rain outside the window, making the grass and trees rustle.

He thought to himself, such a vast and vast country, it is natural for people not to hold it in their hands, and they must not let it go.
