Ning Gu

Zhao Zuo rushed to the side hall, and the old eunuch who followed him always felt that he couldn't keep up with God Zuo's speed, thinking that he was old and his legs and feet were not good.

In fact, it was Zhao Zuo who walked quickly and stopped in front of the gate of the side hall. When he saw the old slave who was behind, he waved to him and asked him to stand guard there.

Only then did he push the door and step into the room, his eyes touched the corner of the blue skirt exposed under the tight wind robe, and he turned around and closed the door.

The sunlight illuminated the inner hall of the Changming Hall, and also benefited the side rooms of the Changming Side Hall, illuminating the only painting hanging on the side hall wall into Xie Ling's eyes.

It seems to be a picture of traveling, the long stream runs through this picture, there are thousands of trees on the banks, and the treetops are covered with scarlet.Under the tree, there was a man in green clothes leaning lazily on an apricot tree, and an apricot petal fell in his arms. He raised his hand, and was inviting a cup to the man in black clothes who was ladling Qingjiu into a cup by Linxi.Behind Erlang, there are two children playing around.

Under the red Qiongyu Jingshu, the old year is always quiet and good.

As soon as Xie Ling entered the side hall, the picture attracted his eyes. He walked closer, and unconsciously stroked the red jade in the picture in front of him. He didn't know what he thought of, and his lips curled up unconsciously. When he got up, water vapor gradually appeared in his eyes, blurring his vision.

In a daze, he heard someone push the door, and the sound of the door being pushed open, he put his hand on the painting away, and wiped away the tears overflowing from the corner of his eyes.

He didn't dare to take off the wind robe here, so he kept hiding himself under the hood of the wind robe.Fortunately, Zhao Zuo didn't come to take his wind robe, but hugged him from behind and locked him in his arms.

"You're here." Zhao Zuo's voice suddenly became very soft, as if he was afraid of scaring the person in his arms.

"En." Xie Ling nodded, Zhao Zuo put his chin on Xie Ling's shoulder, Zhao Zuo said lazily, "That's great."

But just after he finished speaking, an indescribable sense of exhaustion spread from Zhao Zuo's heart to Xie Ling's brows.

"What's the matter?" Xie Ling tilted his head slightly, glanced at the person on his shoulder, shrugged his shoulders again, signaled Zhao Zuo to listen, and continued to ask, "But because of envy?"

Zhao Zuo tilted his head to one side, and raised his eyebrows, as if he was asking Xie Ling, why did he ask such a question.

Xie Ling explained: "Last night when I waited for the wind with him, I heard him ask about it."

"Waiting for the wind?" Zhao Zuo frowned as he said that, of course he knew what it meant to wait for the wind, and he was about to ask Xie Ling for "waiting for the wind" with Xianzhi in the middle of the night.

Xie Ling seemed to be misunderstood, and said softly in a low voice, "I'll wait for Cong Shanlang as well."

Hearing this, Zhao Zuo was pleased, pinched Xie Ling's waist, and after coughing, he pretended to be serious and brought back the off topic: "Then...what did Xinling ask you?"

"Ask me what I would do if I saw you suffer?"

"Don't be naughty." Zhao Zuo thought that Xie Ling was teasing him, and said bluntly.

Xie Ling also gouged out Zhao Zuo's eyes, and suddenly became serious: "I answer, either share the joys and sorrows, or suffer what he suffers."

Only then did Zhao Zuo realize that what Xie Ling said was not a joke, and he repeated, "We share weal and woe."

Zhao Zuo thought about these four words again, and then moved closer to Xie Ling's neck, and placed a kiss on his neck. It was as light as the east wind blowing, and it felt like eating candied fruit. The feeling spread from Xie Ling's neck.

Zhao Zuo's eyes gradually darkened, and he asked in a deep voice: "So Mr. Xiao came to find the widow to share his happiness?"

"Obviously a certain Cong Shanlang changed the red rope on my wrist, wrapped it with a blue ribbon, and left a note under my pillow, asking me to look for him." Xie Ling felt that Zhao Zuo had embraced him while talking. The arms at his waist tightened a little, and he and Zhao Zuo got closer, and pretended not to feel any changes, but he still didn't continue to tease, and only teased softly, "I, I'm just looking for Cong Shanlang .”

"I," Zhao Zuo changed his mouth, bit Xie Ling's ear and said, "I am Cong Shanlang."

Xie Ling pursed his lips, the smile between his brows could not be concealed no matter what.

Zhao Zuo loosened his arms around his waist, and when Xie Ling turned around, he immediately approached half a step closer and pecked Xie Ling's sickly and pale lips.

He raised his eyes and looked slightly at Shang Xie Ling's peach blossom eyes.There seemed to be radiance in those eyes, which made Zhao Zuo sink step by step.He asked in a low voice: "Why didn't you get that lip balm today?"

"I don't love you at all." Xie Ling lowered his eyebrows, didn't look at Zhao Zuo, and only murmured in front of Zhao Zuo.

Before that, Xie Wuling suffered a severe epidemic in Binzhou, which hurt his vitality, no matter how good his body was, he couldn't stand such a toss.Later, after returning to Fufeng and not recuperating well, and exhausting his mind and energy, he has always had such pale lips.

But because he was in Fufeng, on the one hand, he didn't dare to show his sickness in front of others, and on the other hand, he was afraid that this sickness would make Zhao Zuo worry, so he kept on lipping.

At that time, Fufeng people also said that his bright bones and luscious lips were very beautiful, and later many beauties followed suit, and it became a fashion.

But now Zhao Zuo knew in his heart that he was no different from a terminal illness, and his life was dragged by Qi Zhisheng's skillful hands, so he didn't need to use that deceitful lip service to deceive the peace of mind of the people in front of him.

Unexpectedly, these words came calmly, and they just pierced Zhao Zuo's heart.

"It's a widow who never felt your pain, nor suffered your pain." Zhao Zuo held Xie Ling's face, his eyes full of guilt.

Xie Ling didn't care to distinguish for him who owed whom, and who owed whom.It's all what you want and what I want, and it's impossible to tell what is right or wrong.

He raised his hand to hold Zhao Zuo's hand, tilted his head slightly, closed those peach blossom eyes, as if gathering all the emotions in his eyes, and then kissed reverently on Zhao Zuo's palm, Put all the unspeakable softness and affection gathered in one place into the palm of Zhao Zuo, let him hold it at any time, as if he can have it.

Zhao Zuo's gaze deepened following the movements of the person in front of him.He pulled Xie Ling into his arms and kissed his lips, his movements were unexpectedly gentle.He took Xie Ling's lips carefully, and gently absorbed all Xie Ling's breath, those good, bad, mild or mixed with Zhaoxing's cool wind and cold moon, Zhao Zuo sucked them all. , lingering in his affectionate eyes.

After a while, Zhao Zuo let go of Xie Ling after hearing Xie Ling's panting.Xie Ling's cough followed, and these coughs made Zhao Zuo's gradually cloudy eyes a little clearer at this moment.

Zhao Zuo led Xie Ling to sit down, took a few steps back, turned around and looked at the empty piano case behind him, and wiped his face with his hand.

For a moment Xie Ling didn't know whether to laugh or pretend nothing had happened, so he had to talk about Xian Zhi's business to help Zhao Zuo calm down.

"The child thinks he wants to share weal and woe with Xiao Qi'er?" The hood fell off at some point, Xie Ling simply took off the robe, and continued, "He went to Guanzhi's place?"

"Well, I just went. I just pleaded for Guanzhi." Zhao Zuo said in a nonchalant manner, but Xie Ling could hear the anger hidden in Zhao Zuo's words. .

"He, the burden is too heavy. If I had left more time, I wouldn't have let him take over all Ju Heng's things so early." Xie Ling excused Xianzhi in a low voice.

"Don't speak for him," Zhao Zuo turned his head and looked at Xie Ling, "He still wants to take over Lu Qi's burden, but he doesn't think about whether he can bear it or not, he is overwhelmed..." Zhao Zuo Zuo snorted coldly, and kept the last sentence "you bastard" on his lips.

Just as Xie Ling was about to speak, he called Zhao Zuo to cut off Hu: "Mr. Xiao also wanted Lu Qi to be crowned and take over the Lu family."

"En." Xie Ling knew that Zhao Zuo was not asking him, but was stating his thoughts, so he still responded.

He originally wanted Lu Qi to follow his plan after being crowned, let Guan Zhi take the seal of Zhao Xing bestowed on him by Xian Zhi, let Lu Qi take charge of the Lu family, and become Xian Zhi's right arm.

Even if the situation was worse, something went wrong at Guanzhi, and the Zhaoxing Seal was still in Xian's hands; or worse, Lu Qi took the gold that Ye Jiashou kept him, which made him safe for half his life. Ye Zi rode a horse with a sword, hung a pot to help the world, and stayed away from the court.Xianzhi lost his left arm and right arm, but he still has the seal of Zhaoxing and the Fangyu antlers left in Juheng as a keepsake of the Lu family.In this way, what should be held in Xianzhi's hand is still held in Xianzhi's hand.

And as for the rest of the bureau...

There will always be people who will die in the country, and there will always be people who will guard the gate of the country.

"He also knows what I'm thinking, so don't worry about him." Xie Ling comforted.

"That bastard... If Xinling knew your thoughts, he wouldn't do such a thing. He even..."

"Even just watch the changes quietly and enjoy the success." Xie Ling took Zhao Zuo's words, but couldn't hide the smile on his lips, and said bluntly, "Emperor still loves Xinling after all. Shall I talk to him and let him come to his father in person to confess his mistake?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhao Zuo was speechless.Zhao Zuo is worried about envy.You can sit back and enjoy the success, but Xianzhi puts himself in danger in order to bring about the final result. If Zhao Zuo says that he is not worried, worried or angry, it is tantamount to fantasy.

"You're cool, I see, if someone really wronged Xinling, how can you still be like this?" Zhao Zuo turned around and looked at the calm Xie Ling who was sitting there, and added a joke, "I can't tell. Then his eyes became red, and he wanted to turn Liang Ce into a human pig, and he will only relieve his anger after being imprisoned."

"I have never done such a blood-stained thing. It is better for the Holy One to give him a glass of poisonous wine." Xie Ling said as a joke, and then blinked at Zhao Zuo, which also let Zhao Zuo calm down Only then continued.

"Actually, it's good for him to go in and stir a stick. This chess piece will fall faster, so that Guan Zhi can't be caught off guard." Xie Ling smiled, and the appreciation in his eyes gradually gathered, "Guan Zhi's heart is hard to accomplish. Sang Luo helped me earlier, and I couldn't tell the difference in how I treated people. Now that Liang Xiang has shown his kindness to Xian, it is natural to compare Xian with Guanzhi..." Xie Ling gave two "tsk tsk" and continued He said, "As long as Xianzhi is willing to admit that Lu Qi is his weakness in his mother clan, Prime Minister Liang will value Xianzhi even more."

Zhao Zuo glanced at Xie Ling, understood his thoughts, and continued:

"Once Guanzhi reveals his rebellion, Prime Minister Liang will abandon him sooner or later. Find someone to mention it to Guanzhi's ear..." Zhao Zuo walked across half the room and filled the cup of tea placed beside the couch , and handed it to Xie Ling.Presumably it was the new tea that Xie Ling put on before entering the house, and it was still warm.

"Sooner or later, dog eats dog." Xie Ling took the teacup and took a sip, "Actually speaking, Lu Qi is much better off, at least he can't take care of himself. What's more, " Xie Ling's eyes were a bit sly and serious He speculated, "Yesterday I deliberately let the peeping fish go, isn't it to let her go back and send a voice to Lu Weiming?"

"Speaking of Lu Weiming, the widow thinks of it, and forgets something important."

"Huh?" Xie Ling returned the teacup to Zhao Zuo, Zhao Zuo took the teacup, tasted it himself, and said:

"Lu Qi has news."

Xie Ling's eyes immediately lit up when he heard the words, but they dimmed again after a while, and he regained his composure.

"Where is he?"

Zhao Zuo looked away for a moment, before he said after a long time: "The ancestral hall in the outer palace was taken by my widow to the previous night."

"Oh..." Xie Ling remembered that ancestral hall, where only people from Zhaoxing were enshrined, and there was also a young monk in the hall.

"There's an inner room there, we... didn't go in." Zhao Zuo spoke intermittently, as if he was still hesitating whether to speak or not.

Xie Ling was not in a hurry, and his eyes were also looking around, until Zhao Zuo spoke again, and his eyes were taken back.

"The things in the inner room are related to Yuanhua. Liang Zhuo took him there, maybe..."

Xie Ling heard Zhao Zuo hesitate to speak, and his mood fell accordingly.Although he knew that this day would come, once Lu Qi's life experience was known to Lu Qi himself, Xie Wuling might change in Lu Qi's eyes.

"Do you want to meet him?"

Zhao Zuo fell silent for a long time, Xie Ling didn't answer him, but Zhao Zuo saw the struggle in Xie Ling's eyes.

Zhao Zuo didn't interfere with his decision, and suddenly saw Xie Ling's hand clenched tightly. Zhao Zuo was afraid that he would be injured, so he stretched out his hand to cover Xie Ling's hand.

Xie Ling raised his other hand again, patted the back of Zhao Zuo's hand, looked only at Zhao Zuo's hand, hesitated for a while, and said: "I guess... there is someone who wants to see him more than me."

"Lu Weiming?"

"Yeah. After Lu Weiming sees him, maybe he doesn't want to see me anymore." Xie Ling smiled wryly, "That's all. I just want to see Brother Zuo."

"Xie Pingzhi." Zhao Zuo called out to him with a slight movement of his throat when he heard the words.

"Huh?" Xie Ling answered seriously.

"Stop screaming..." Zhao Zuo cleared his throat again, "I'm afraid..."

"Don't call me Brother Zuo?" Xie Ling said pretendingly, feeling that Zhao Zuo was holding his hand hard, he continued to say badly, "Brother Zuo, what are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I won't be able to be a gentleman." Zhao Zuo hugged Xie Ling back into his arms, rubbing his ears and temples together, embarrassing Xie Ling.

The two people in the Changming Hall are teasing the wind and the moon, it is because of their strong love.As for the people outside the Changming Hall, they were not in such good spirits.

After Liang Hou returned to the central palace, a palace lady handed over a Wu Jinxuan.

Liang Hou took the rice paper, saw the writing on it, and opened his eyes instantly.But the look of surprise disappeared on Fu Rong's face for a moment.Only the trembling hand holding Wu Jinxuan still revealed the surprise in Liang Hou's heart.

The little Gong'e had long been accustomed to observing words and expressions in this heavy gate, and her voice lowered a little, and she said: "I found this from the residence of the little marquis, and it was hidden in a pile of inexplicable poems. It was the little marquis before Instruct the group of people guarding the side to say that when the Lord Xinling arrives, he must show him the manuscript, so..."

"Lu...Where's Lu Weiming?" Liang Hou looked tense, and asked the maidservant and aunt beside her.

"Your Majesty wants to look for him? I heard that he was at Prime Minister Liang's place yesterday. I don't know if he has been connected to Chongque."

Liang Hou clasped his hand on the table next to him, and put the rice paper in his hand on the table, and said in a trembling voice: "Think of a way, let... Let him go to see Lu Qi immediately. Take... take this paper away, take it away, take it away and burn it."

As she said that, she pushed the paper and took half a step back, as if she was afraid of getting involved with the rice paper, so that Gong'e burned the paper.

Gong'e didn't know how the rice paper offended Liang Hou, so she had no choice but to agree, crawled two steps, grabbed the rice paper and rubbed it, and was about to leave when Liang Hou said: "Burn it in front of me, don't let others know. Those who have read this paper..." Liang Hou's eyes suddenly turned colder, "Follow Chongque's rules."

With this order, Xiao Gong'e's face instantly turned pale.Trembling, she set fire to the rice paper from the candle handed by the maid at the side.

Liang Zhuo looked at the tongue of fire licking the rice paper, and the hanging heart finally let go when the rice paper turned to ashes.

She still stood where she was, and after a while she calmed down, she said to the maidservant and aunt beside her:

"Tell Liang Cheng that there must be many dreams in the night, and you can't believe it, and you can't wait for Lu Qi's affairs. Let him invite Mr. Lu Erlang to sit in the dark temple in the outer palace in my name."

The maidservant and aunt agreed, turned around and went down to spread the news.

At this time, Liang Cheng and Xian Zhi were walking to the place where Guan Zhi lived.Neither of them mentioned the matter of entering the house, Liang Xiang turned to look at Xianzhi, and Xianzhi also raised his hand to look at him.

"Xinling, why do you speak for Guanzhi?"

"We are brothers and sisters, as it should be." Xianzhi said without hesitation.

"really?"

Xianzhi pursed his lips, and looked at Liang Cheng.
