Si Tian Guan - Chapter 172
For several days, Qu Chenzhou didn’t fall asleep until after midnight. He had too many things on his mind, but he couldn’t think of a solution, and he was so anxious that he couldn’t sleep.
Now he is no longer alone, unable to do everything, on the contrary, it is more difficult than before.
The emperor sent him to Chongming, and sent King Ning and King Huai to pick him up, it was obvious.
At that time, he knew that it was not a good thing for him to leave the Jinxiu Camp like this, and the red mark on his neck was insignificant to outsiders.
Chongming met him at the beginning, and he knew who was behind him, let alone the emperor. Now I am testing one or two in Chongming’s hands, and I will go to King Huai someday.
His fear and disgust are shadows that cannot be escaped, just thinking about being alone with that person makes him tremble and vomit.
But this is a hurdle that cannot be avoided.
If he crosses over, he will make further progress.
When he was in Jinxiu Camp, he had no chance to smash the tea bowl and mutilate himself with porcelain pieces. Liu Chongming only gave him the freedom of one hand. feed him.
He was as cold as ice at first, but he was almost collapsed after being fed a few mouthfuls of food.
Liu Chongming let him do it, until his tears fell on the quilt, and then another meal came in.
“Shen Zhou, don’t hurt yourself, I will find a way for everything.”
He became extremely useless, and finished the meal with a whimper, never thinking of hurting himself again.
It is late spring, and the sun rises early.
Today should be the day for him to answer the divination call. He routinely wakes up at Mao Shi, and when he arrives at Chen, breakfast is already arranged downstairs.
Since there was a problem with the little **** guarding the door at night, the people outside the door were replaced by soldiers from Nanya, who were personally selected by Bo Yan.
When handing over the roster, he saw Bo Yan nodded to him very lightly.
The servants who served him knew that he liked to be quiet, so they left lightly after finishing the arrangement. In addition to the daily porridge and side dishes, there were also seasonal fruits and vegetables on the table, which were cut into small pieces. A little oil on the yellow edge of the paper.
Qu Chenzhou glanced at the back who was guarding the door, and calmly pulled out the sheet of paper folded into a finger-width.
He has lived for decades for two generations, and he has never only known what it is like to tear himself apart to pave roads and build bridges for others, but no one has ever escorted him.
The thing he once desperately wanted was now handed in front of him, but he didn’t dare to reach out to take it.
The future is uncertain, he can hardly see his own way of life, why bother to provoke people he shouldn’t, he doesn’t want to live again, and he doesn’t want to see the **** camera nails again.
No matter how warm your heart is, there will always be a day when it gets cold, let alone a person as cold as stone like him.
Chongming will leave disappointed one day.
But Rao comforted himself again, followed the routine guide out of the star-viewing pavilion, and walked on the old road every day, Qu Chenzhou’s heartbeat still rang once, and he was approaching the fan again. When the door came, he forced himself to hold back.
What was different from the past was that besides Emperor Yu and Yu Dexi, there were many people in Qingxin Curie, besides the three princes, there were also Bo Yan and Ling He.
And of course Liu Chongming.
Sure enough, everyone came, just like the note said.
Qu Chenzhou bowed to Emperor Yu: “I have seen the emperor.”
Slightly turned around again: “I have seen three princes.”
“Sink the boat, sit down and talk.”
Emperor Yu gestured to the side, the empty seat was between King Huai and Liu Chongming, he sat down without looking sideways, as if he did not see the gazes falling on him from all directions.
If it is normal, it should be when the others retreat, but Emperor Yu did not speak, only motioned to Yu Dexi to hand over a volume.
Qu Chenzhou glanced at it hastily, his face moved slightly, and he was a little surprised.
Yu Dexi explained to him with a smile.
“Congratulations to Qu Sitian, Lord Shizi has found out the ins and outs and cleared up his grievances for Qu Sitian.”
Qu Chenzhou’s eyes slanted to the left, and then fell back to the volume, listening to Dexi’s tone of joy, as if he was sincerely happy for him.
“Xiao Liangzi has both recruited, and it is said that it is indeed a false imperial decree to bring you into the harem in the middle of the night, with bad intentions. Unfortunately, Gener has not been found yet, and the prince is trying his best to investigate.”
“Vinland is another.”
In front of the emperor, Yu Dexi didn’t say much, and the affair of the rendezvous was clearly written in the volume – Wen Lan found out that the young captain, who was in love with him, had a new love, and he had already had a relationship with the other party. After changing Geng Tie, he was so anxious that he ignored the ban in the palace and sneaked out in the middle of the night.
—The commander was afraid that she would make trouble and ruin a good future, so he lost his head and strangled Wen Lan in the rockery.
The evidence is conclusive and the confession is true, so the case of Wenlan is concluded.
Qu Chenzhou turned back and forth twice, pursing his lips and not speaking.
“Shen Zhou,” Emperor Yu called him: “This time it’s all due to Chongming, why don’t you thank him?”
Qu Chenzhou bowed his head slightly, and immediately got up and knelt down: “Thank you, Your Majesty, for your innocence!”
Yu Di was stunned for a moment, and couldn’t help laughing: “They said that you have an awkward temper. I didn’t believe it at first, but I didn’t expect that you really have a temper. Learn his bad temper and look at him.”
If someone else said this, Liu Chongming was afraid that he would stand up on the spot and shout “what to see”, but now he can only bear his temper and turn sideways.
For the first time, Qu Chenzhou looked directly over, only to see Liu Chongming leaning against a cane beside his seat.
Wang Ning didn’t think it was a big deal to watch the fun, he laughed so hard he wanted to pat his legs: “Chongming, I told you not to listen to people’s persuasion. Qu Sitian has spoken out, you dare to go to Shi Yan is running horses to play. It’s a big loss to you, if it wasn’t for Shi Yan, what would be a leg thing?”
“What persuasion? Does he really think of himself as a living fairy?” Could it be that he cursed me to death another day, and I have to kneel and beg him to save my life?”
“Chongming! Don’t talk nonsense,” Emperor Yu scolded in a deep voice: “Shen Zhou’s words are effective, and you should listen to what you should listen to next time.”
Yu Di looked at the two of them, and finally couldn’t hold back their seriousness.
“Look at the two of you, one needle tip and one Maimang, all sitting in this position, so many people watching, what kind of childish anger is there.”
Only Wang Ning sneered. Seeing that the faces of the people around him were flat, he coughed awkwardly.
“The emperor’s admonition | admonition, the minister will keep it in mind,” Qu Chenzhou stood up and cupped his hands, and asked, “How should the minister be fortune-telling today?”
“No rush.”
“Qu Sitian, I have something to ask you for advice.” This time, the person who saw Emperor Yu’s gesture to speak was Ling He.
Qu Chenzhou looked at Emperor Yu puzzled, and nodded to Linghe: “Ling Shaoqing, may I ask.”
” Qu Sitian said that he was called out that night. According to Qu Sitian, the lower official found that the road you were walking was leading to Yuxiu Palace, while Yuxiu Palace and Guanxing Pavilion were with Cixiu. Ning Palace is not on the way, how did Qu Sitian get to Cining Palace?”
As soon as Ling He said these words, the sensible ones immediately understood why people were so uniform today, even King Ning held his breath and stared at Ling He.
“It was too dark at night and the lights were unknown. I was not familiar with the harem.
Qu Chenzhou looked at people calmly: “Ling Shaoqing should have heard of it. I am a talker and never lie.”
Ling He’s unchanging indifference seemed to stick to his face.
“Xiaguan has been in charge of the criminal department of Dali Temple for several years, and the people who have tried them all said at first that they did not lie.”
He opened the box beside him, got up and walked forward, showing Qu Chenzhou the three porcelain vases embedded in the brocade: “If Qu Sitian really didn’t lie, dare you try this ?”
Qu Chenzhou glanced at Emperor Yu before taking out one, rubbing the words on the vase: “Bi, Hong, Zi.”
“Bihongzi in my Jinxiu Camp, Qu Sitian must have never heard of it.”
Liu Chongming habitually wanted to tilt his body, and hissed in pain, his face became even more unsightly.
“Even if it is steel and iron, it can recruit all eight generations of the ancestors. How is it, Qu Sitian? The emperor didn’t let me judge you before, but now it’s the emperor’s intention.”
Qu Chenzhou’s fingers holding the porcelain vase turned white, turned his head and called out softly, “Your Majesty…”
Yu Dexi was serving Emperor Yu and sniffing snuff, and no one answered him, and the time became extremely long, as if a knife was slowly slashing from head to foot.
It took a long time for Emperor Yu to exhale and speak slowly.
“Shen Zhou, I believe in you. But you live in the palace, you are not in compliance with the rules, and now you are walking around at night, and many people are impeaching you, I should have an answer.”
He leaned over and touched the top of Qu Shenzhou’s head: “There are still more words, let Linghe ask, go with him.”
Qu Chenzhou’s eyes were red, pursed his lips, leaned down and bowed: “I listened to the emperor’s words, I did not lie, and I will not disappoint the emperor.”
Bo Yan, who had been guarding the door, held his waist knife and reached out to the door: “Qu Sitian, please.”
Ling He followed closely behind with the volume in between.
It wasn’t until Mu Jingchen also went out that King Ning woke up like a dream.
Liu Chongming was about to pick up the crutches on the side, when Emperor Yu said with a smile: “Chongming is inconvenient to walk, just sit here with me. It’s been a long time since I had the next game with you. “
Yu Dexi helped him to sit down on the chair beside the couch, then took the chessboard and stood aside with his hands down.
Liu Chongming first covered Heizi’s chess basket and held it in his arms: “Your Majesty, let Heizi go to the minister.”
“Little slick,” Emperor Yu laughed: “You are not bad at chess, Ah Zheng has praised you, and you always hold on to the sunspot.”
“The minister is no better than the emperor, the minister is afraid of losing, the emperor will let the minister have another son.”
Liu Chongming got up and went straight to the chessboard, forgetting that he was limping with one leg, and he gasped in pain.
“Sit down,” Emperor Yu motioned for him to move first, and blamed: “Being young, reckless, and not being careful. I heard Jing Yan say that Shen Zhou is with you. Anger, after saying this, why don’t you take it to your heart?”
The sunspot was in his hand and fell down after a while.
Liu Chongming said sullenly: “Your Majesty, this minister does not want to be an official with him in the same dynasty. The Emperor might as well take the minister’s waist card and let the minister continue to do business.”
“It’s nonsense,” Emperor Yu scolded with a smile: “I didn’t see eye to eye at Dali Temple and Linghe, and now I’ve been promoted, and I don’t deal with Shen Zhou, you really think this court is you A place for nonsense?”
Liu Chongming was silenced, and after a long while he answered indifferently, “Your Majesty, don’t be deceived by him.”
“How?”
“I saw him pitiful at first, and my heart softened for a while, and spent a lot of money to treat his face, but I didn’t expect that after he was cured, he began to be restless.”
“My lord, they all said that I treated him harshly. In fact, he tried to deceive me a few times and swallowed my shop, so I punished him.”
“I’m not afraid of the emperor’s jokes. After he entered the palace, I learned that he also tried to catch the three princes.”
A sunspot landed on the chessboard with a sullen look.
“Chongming is so smart,” Emperor Yu asked him: “The Jinxiu Camp of thousands of people is well-organized, but the people around him are not watching.”
Liu Chongming coughed: “Chen…I don’t see him much during the day, but at night…”
Yu Di laughed: “He did tell me that he was from a humble background, Xiao wanted money, and wanted to go up. It’s human nature to think about it.”
“He…” Liu Chongming was angry: “Your Majesty, you are too partial to him. I have raised him for a few years, even a dog should know how to repay his kindness. It’s been revealed so lightly! I…I refuse to obey!”
Emperor Yu calmly said: “Chongming should be so angry, he must have spent a lot of thought on Shen Zhou. I see his words are good, almost exactly the same as you.”
Liu Chongming scratched his head: “My father always punishes me for copying the house rules. Once I copy it several times, I will let him… Your Majesty, don’t tell my father.”
Yu Di nodded at him and couldn’t help laughing loudly: “Little Slicker.”
“Your Majesty, even if you scold me, I will say, Qu Chenzhou…”
Liu Chongming didn’t finish his words, and a shrill scream came from the side hall not far away: “No…no…”
The pieces in his hand landed firmly on the chessboard, as if nothing was heard.
“I will never forgive him…”
