Ning Gu

Xie Ling hesitated for a while, but curled his lips, his eyes gleamed, and he said with a deadpan face, "Anyway, you and I have experienced it once."

When he met Zhao Zuo's sullen eyes, his voice became a little lower, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became even bigger, as if he was comforting, or flattering, his eyes avoided, and he turned his back to take After a cup of tea came, he muttered to himself again: "Anyway, I don't have a long life."

Although the voice was small, Zhao Zuo heard it all.The anger in his eyes turned into shortness of breath, and he hugged Xie Ling, who was about to escape, into his arms, and locked them tightly in his arms.Xie Ling's hand also covered his embraced hand, and he was speechless for a while.For a long time Xie Ling felt a little warmth on his neck, it was Zhao Zuo's tears that stained the back of Xie Ling's neck along his back.He held Zhao Zuo's hand tightly following the feeling in his heart.

He tilted his head slightly and watched Zhao Zuo bury his head on his shoulder. It was at this moment that Xie Ling deeply realized that kind of powerlessness. The taste in the slumped movements of his shoulders.He lowered his head slightly, kissed Zhao Zuo's hair, his peach blossom eyes were soft red, with his unique tenderness.

"That year, I knew that Liang Ce had a plan to cross the river and demolish the bridge. I figured that there would be no other way but to sit and wait to die. That's why I asked Han Chao and the others to participate in the joint name. After I came back from Binzhou, in fact... "

Xie Ling sighed deeply as he spoke, and told the story of the past: "At the beginning, Shen Changxie and I enlisted the servant of the Ministry of Officials to pull him down. The matter of Changle and Xuancheng was originally mentioned by the late emperor. At that time, I You want to gain a firm foothold in his place, and you want both Changle and Xuancheng to be used by you, so you borrowed the prestige of the late emperor. Later, the matter of Guzang was not only because of the honor of war in that place, but also for the Lu family. He and the Ye family are both in his hands. But Lu Shencheng is too smart, so he can only use the little friendship between Ye Fuzhou and me. Shen Changyu was also the one who gave Zhaoxing the order." Xie Ling felt the arms around his waist loosen, For a moment, he shivered as if the snow on the branches shook by the cold wind hit his heart.

He swallowed the timidity and fear in his heart, and his subordinates still held Zhao Zuo's hand tightly, as if he was afraid that Zhao Zuo would let go if he continued to talk.But no matter how frightened he was, his rationality still did not stop. He continued: "The next Daoist Miaofa, I deliberately dismissed you, and then I picked up Liang Ce." Xie Ling paused, "Take it The matter of Lu Shencheng being with Qi State, he came back in exchange for some benefits, Emperor Hui wanted to protect Qi State, but he wanted to take away the Lu family, so..."

Xie Ling smiled self-deprecatingly. Most of those years were exhausted by tricks and every step of the way.Under the mountains and rivers, there are always white bones.The fairyland and the world of five turbidity are always accompanied by each other. For this night and this place, it is always good to be black or white.

Zhao Zuo raised his head, but rubbed against Xie Ling's neck, greedily sucking the cool smell on Xie Ling's body.

"Enough, the widow knows."

Zhao Zuo knew it, and he knew it the night he was given the poisonous wine——Xie Ling has always been his fairyland.From beginning to end, it has not changed.Even if it was because of the Qi country's affairs, even if he complained about it, even if he was furious because of his death request at that time, he never thought of taking his life.

Instead, he just wanted to step into his realm and take root there.

It was then, and it is now.

"That's why I begged for that kindness for Lu Qi." I didn't expect to survive, Xie Ling swallowed the second half of the sentence, he didn't dare to say it, for fear of hurting Zhao Zuo's heart.

"The ministers asked for orders that year, but do you still remember what the widow said to you?" Zhao Zuo slowly withdrew his hand, turned Xie Ling around, and embraced him.

Xie Ling raised his eyes and met Zhao Zuo's calm eyes. He still saw the waves in those eyes, but compared with the star-like eyes that year, he was a little more joyful and fortunate.

"The widow said that if they want your life, they want the widow's life. The widow still says this today."

Xie Ling's shoulders trembled, he couldn't express the shock in his heart with words, and he couldn't express this shock.

That year, the officials asked Zhao Zuo to release Xie Wuling's order of confinement and Juheng, and asked him to hand over Xie Wuling to the Ministry of Punishment for sentencing.Zhao Zuo hesitated for a few days, and even prepared to burn everything, but Xie Ling entrusted Xianzhi with a message to see Zhao Zuo.

Zhao Zuo went to Juheng under the pressure of the crowd that day. He didn't expect that what he waited for was not Xie Wuling who wanted to share his hatred with him, but Xie Wuling forcing him to compromise.

Xie Wuling knelt in front of him, and he forgot how long Xie Wuling hadn't knelt before him, and he hadn't even heard the words "Long live my emperor" from Xie Wuling's mouth for a long time. On that day, he not only listened to everything, He also asked Xie Wuling to buy a glass of poisoned wine in front of him.

At that time, Zhao Zuo threatened him with Lu Qi, but he seemed to have thought about it long ago, and told Zhao Zuo all the arrangements for Lu Qi's birthday in one breath.Zhao Zuo denied it, saying that he was cruel and made Lu Qi's birthday the anniversary of Xie Wuling's death.

Xie Wuling laughed and said that he was originally Lu Qi's thief father, so it would be better to say that his death was a birthday present to Lu Qi.

His three thousand thoughts were returned and returned, all of which were given to others.

Indeed, just as the old Prime Minister Xie had predicted many years ago, Xie Wuling's kindness finally harmed him, causing him to have no tomb to bury in the end.

Xie Ling buried himself in Zhao Zuo's arms, Zhao Zuo asked, in fact, he and Zhao Zuo should have expected it, maybe the case of Guanzhi will come together tomorrow, and then what they will face is the scene they faced a few years ago , even more than that.But because of Zhao Zuo's words that hadn't changed for five years, Xie Ling felt that even if he experienced it again, he would not be in vain.

After a while, the softness in Xie Ling's heart was gradually brought back by his wisdom, and his tenderness gradually disappeared.He pushed Zhao Zuo away, Zhao Zuo frowned, but he didn't say anything after all, Xie Ling's clear heart could always drive away his greed in time.Xie Ling suppressed his smile, thinking about Zhao Zuo's words, while Zhao Zuo looked at Xie Ling with the faint yellow candlelight listening to him.

After the two sides were silent for a while, Xie Ling suddenly raised his head, just when Zhao Zuo thought that Xie Ling would say the same old words at this time, Xie Ling asked: "So brother Zuo will envy you?" Fragmented from Fufeng City?"

"You..." Zhao Zuo instantly realized what Xie Ling was asking, and he nodded, "Yeah." Zhao Zuofu asked, "You knew about Ye Kuiyu that night?"

When Xie Ling asked Xianzhi to speak to Zhao Zuo, Zhao Zuo probably understood what Xie Ling meant.Although the news of Zhaoxing will reach Xianzhi who has the seal of Zhaoxing, as long as Xie Ling is from Zhaoxing, the news will always reach him at the same time.

Zhao Zuo saw Xie Ling nod his head, and heard Xie Ling whisper: "Well, he said he is from Prime Minister Liang." In this way, everything was in line with what Zhao Zuo had in mind, and he nodded happily.

So when Xie Ling knew that Ye Jianyu's death was related to Liang Xiang, the fox smell would linger all the time. To get rid of the fox smell, it was best to let the fox show its tail.

"So you sent someone to the prison?" Zhao Zuo frowned, "Then why didn't the secret guards in the prison report it?"

"Well, let the hidden guards around Xianzhi go. I'm afraid Zhaoxing's people will be seen for no reason, so it's not good to catch the tail. Since the hidden guards around Xianzhi are all from the Chongque group, left and right We all know each other, so it's convenient." Xie Ling raised his eyebrows, as if he was waiting for Zhao Zuo's praise.Zhao Zuo curled his lips and said helplessly: "You, when Mr. Qi comes back, it's time to blame the widow again."

Xie Ling curled his lips, and when he mentioned Qi Zhisheng, he couldn't refute it, so he could only hold a little bit of luck in his heart.

Zhao Zuo looked at his resentful eyes, and the helplessness in his heart melted him.He sighed, thinking that if Qi Zhi complained, let him complain, isn't it something that goes in the left ear and out the right ear?

"Looking at that matter, I just wanted to warn Prime Minister Liang. I didn't realize that Prime Minister Liang left a later move. I was negligent about the plea. It's right to suppress it." Xie Ling glanced at Zhao Zuo again, and added cautiously, "I was afraid that something might change, so I asked Xianzhi to bring you a message."

"It's a change, it's Dali Temple Minister."

"Oh." Xie Ling nodded thoughtfully, "Then..."

"Hush—" Zhao Zuo said suddenly, he heard footsteps not far from the door, from far to near.Zhao Zuo frowned, Xie Ling also pulled up his hood, and stood with his back in the dark.

There were two knocks on the door.

Zhao Zuo asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"Brother Huang!" A female voice sounded, and both Zhao Zuo and Xie Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

"Changle? Come in."

Chang Le pushed the door open and entered the room, turned back and closed the door, handed the lantern in his hand to Zhao Zuo, walked to the secret passage in the inner room, and led the way and said: "I heard Fu Nuer say that today you I can’t stay in the temple, he asked me to remember to remind you to return to Chongque. I just forgot the time, and it’s time to watch Kuaizi. I’m afraid that you won’t be able to make it to the main road, and that slave will be in a hurry, so I go to Lingjian How is the authentic tunnel? This is the tunnel that Mr. Xi walked before. A few days ago, Xianzhi walked through it, and he also passed through the gate."

Speaking of which, Changle turned to look at Zhao Zuo and the man in black beside him.Unexpectedly, the man pulled down his hood, pursed his lips, and in Changle's shocked face, said leisurely: "I walked by, leading to the back of Changming Palace."

"you……"

"Changle, don't you recognize me?"

"Mr. Xiao." Chang Le called out, and Xie Lingxu made a salute, "You, you actually..."

Zhao Zuo suddenly interrupted Changle with a stern cough, and stopped Changle's curiosity with his stern prestige. He interjected, "Changle, about Pingzhi, you can ask Xuancheng in the future." He glanced at Xie Ling again, put his hands on Xie Ling's shoulders, and said to him, "Let's go."

Xie Ling responded with Zhao Zuo and returned to the Changming Hall, and the old eunuch saw it, and meaningfully told the people around him to retreat earlier.

But it really wasn't that the old eunuch was thinking too much, but that Zhao Zuo had a wicked heart but not the guts, and he was the one who was afraid of hurting Xie Ling.Asking Xie Ling to talk about it in the middle of the night, he only dared to sleep with the person in his arms all night, and didn't dare to think about others.

But fortunately, Xie Ling is not a person like Lu Qi who has to move his hands and feet when he sleeps. Xie Ling sleeps very well, so Zhao Zuo can only be distracted, and there is no such thing as a misfire.

And Zhao Zuo forgot about tomorrow's fierce battle, and only thought about the past, and when he thought about it, his consciousness became confused. He subconsciously leaned towards the back of Xie Ling's neck, sucking his smell, and had a good night's sleep.

The next day, when the sun entered the atrium, Xian Zhi and the rite minister's escort team left the capital, and the big drama in the court hall also kicked off.

An imperial edict was announced to God Zuo, saying that even though Guanzhi had such thoughts, he had pleaded guilty because he was young and frivolous, so he was allowed to enter the imperial mausoleum and choose his royal name in the confession letter. The site is next to the mausoleum of Duke Yong of the Shang Dynasty.But that's all.

Such an order can be regarded as fulfilling the son of Duke Yong, but it also made him the only prince in the royal tomb without a title.

All civil and military officials in the whole dynasty sighed. Originally, Xie Wuling taught painting skills, and the former number one scholar Han Chao taught Ci Fu. If he wanted to be a literati and poet, he would be a first-class figure in Fufengyuemingmingfengqing, but he died. In this court vortex.

"So, do you have any objections?"

"Old minister," Liang Xiang came out with his wat, bowed, and then said, "Old minister, please read the confession letter of His Highness Guanzhi."

Zhao Zuo raised his head and looked at it. Liang Xiang took it impartially, rolled his eyes, and looked at Zhao Zuo with a smile on his face.

Zhao Zuo withdrew his gaze, and ordered the eunuch to hand over the confession letter sent by Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment: "So, let the prime minister read the guilt letter, and let all the Qing family listen to it, how about it?"

"Old minister obeys the order." Liang Cheng took the confession letter, and was about to read the three characters, but he paused again when he spoke, he looked up at Zhao Zuo, and found that Zhao Zuo was just waiting for him When he read it, he raised his eyebrows at him specially.

Before Zhao Zuo spoke, he looked back at the confession in his hand, and said in a different way: "The old minister will read his confession for His Highness Guanzhi."

"My father enlightened me, my son watched it..."

All the ministers listened to Liang Ce finish reading the crime letter, the huge hall was filled with sighs, and all the ministers were whispering among themselves, but Zhao Zuo's eyes did not leave Liang Ce's side.

Liang Ce handed back the letter of guilt, and the officials fell silent when they saw this action, and Zhao Zuo smiled in his eyes. The good show he and Xie Ling had expected finally came.

Liang Ce stopped the eunuch who was about to retreat, took out another letter from his sleeve, and put it on a lacquered wooden plate: "There is a confession letter at the Holy Majesty's place, and the old minister also has a confession letter, please ask the Holy Majesty to read it."

The eunuch turned around and handed the letter next to the lacquered wood to the desk in front of Zhao Zuolong's chair.

Liang Ce continued unhurriedly: "This confession not only includes what is in the confession just now, but also a paragraph that is not in that confession." Liang Ce paused and looked at the ministers , Seeing that the eyes of all the ministers were on him, he knelt down on his knees, but he looked confident, because he knew what kind of uproar his next words would cause.

"It says on it that an acquaintance of Zhaoxing lives in Emperor Zuo's Changming Palace. That person's surname is Xie, and his name is..."

Before Liang Ce could finish his next words, he was overwhelmed by the uproar from the entire court.Zhao Zuo's gaze suddenly became sharp, and he shot straight at Liang Ce who was kneeling in the hall.
