I'm here to find my son

As soon as Li Xingzhi stepped into the Xuanshi Hall, he saw his second uncle kneeling in front of the emperor crying and crying. He saluted in a regular manner, and the old emperor waved his hands and said: "Excuse me, there are no outsiders here, so don't give me a gift." Such a great gift."

Li Xingzhi smiled slightly.

The old emperor walked over and patted him on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "You have been out of town for more than a month this time, and I see that you have lost weight. I asked the imperial dining room to prepare snacks. If you are going, stay with me today." Let's eat."

"Since the emperor has an order, he should obey it. It's just that the grandson hasn't returned home for more than a month, and he misses Chengyan and his mother..."

"That's all, you can come to accompany me some other day." The old emperor smiled with squinted eyes, and didn't care too much when he was politely rejected, "I forgot that I was also a person with a family, and Chengyan is still young now. , the child looks different every day, you should spend more time with him."

The second prince, Li Zhuozhao, who was still kneeling, winked at Li Xingzhi, and Li Xingzhi reminded the old emperor in due course: "Grandpa, the second uncle is still kneeling."

The old emperor said displeasedly: "Let him kneel until my anger subsides."

Li Xingzhi remained silent.

When the news came from the capital, the second prince actually entered the city gate. Li Xingzhi and Song Ci both knew martial arts, and their footsteps were much faster than ordinary people, so they rushed back to the capital in a hurry.

"All right, tell me, what have you found?"

Since the old emperor called the second prince here alone, he probably didn't intend to severely punish him.Li Xingzhi didn't want to quarrel with the second prince, so he said: "Grandson is incompetent, I didn't find anything, I only know that the thief blew up a secret passage and quietly transported the silver away."

As Li Xingzhi spoke, he helped the old emperor back to the chair. As soon as the emperor sat down, he pointed at the second prince's nose and cursed: "Trash! Both treasuries were stolen in your territory. They still exploded." A tunnel? You don’t know anything about such a big movement?”

The second prince snotted and cried, and said in panic: "My son was still in the south of the Yangtze River at that time, and he didn't know that they colluded with the guards to steal money..."

"Absurd, as a prince, you just want to travel around the mountains and rivers so wantonly, you are free." The old emperor pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Collused with the guards, there are many guards and guards around the bank, How could they all be colluding? It makes no sense."

Li Xingzhi opened his mouth and said: "There are several corpses not far from the bank. Presumably they were guards and guards who were unwilling to cooperate, and all of them were killed to silence them."

Half an hour later, the old emperor was a little tired from scolding, so he weakly let Li Zhuozhao get out.

A maid came up with a bowl of soup and medicine, and put it in front of the old emperor: "Your Majesty, it's time to drink the medicine."

Just the smell of this traditional Chinese medicine is enough to turn people off. Seeing Li Xingzhi staring at him, the old emperor picked up the bowl and poured it into his mouth. In the end, half a candied fruit was useless, and the medicine tasted sour Not ideal either, the old emperor hiccupped and almost vomited out the medicine.

Li Xingzhi went forward and patted the old emperor on the back, glanced at the small can of candied fruit on the maid's plate and her slightly frightened affection, and said with a smile: "The emperor will never grow old, but the bitter taste remains in his mouth , I am afraid that I will lose my appetite for dinner."

He picked up a plump candied fruit and handed it to the old emperor's mouth: "Eat one to relax."

The old emperor waved his hand, and between half-closed eyes, a candied fruit was quickly stuffed into his mouth.The sweet to cloying taste made the old emperor feel a lot more comfortable.

He liked sweets since he was a child, but as a prince, his every move was watched by others, so he only dared to sneak a few candies at night.

"You." The old emperor patted his hand dotingly, feeling that this grandson was the one he liked the most.

"Your second uncle..."

"Xingzhi knows that everything is handled according to an ordinary theft case." Li Xingzhi said, "Grandson knows that Second Emperor Uncle is not that kind of person."

The old emperor smiled wryly: "If Zhuo Zhao is half as smart as you, then I don't have to worry about him. The theft is minor, and I can still help him cover it up. If he is encouraged by others in the future... I am not here How about you?"

The old emperor just wanted to hear a good word, and Li Xingzhi said it honestly: "Tian Lilun always prevails, and since my grandson calls him Uncle Emperor, I will do my best to help."

"You have a kind heart." The old emperor breathed a sigh of relief, Li Xingzhi would not lie.If he is allowed to succeed to the throne, it is unlikely that he will do anything to hurt the prince.

It's just that everything has a limit, and the old emperor only hopes that his sons will not do anything against the law and ethics in the future.

At this time, Lord Hou's mansion was still quiet, Li Xingzhi came back in a hurry, so he didn't have time to inform the mansion.

Li Xingzhi didn't go through the gate, but climbed over the wall in a smooth manner, fearing that Yingyingyanyan, who was prepared for him by the princess in the mansion, would be disturbed and come out to greet him.

Li Xingzhi arrived at his yard unimpeded. After walking a few steps, he realized that something was wrong—even though it was winter, his yard was full of "birds singing and cauliflower fragrant".

The loofah vine has climbed to the height of a person, and there are all kinds of fresh vegetables, sliced ​​dried fish are still drying in the yard, and an eagle with a wound on its claw is tied to a tree.

Fortunately, Li Xingzhi was in a good mood, but he was frightened by the scene in the yard, and he was not pissed to death on the spot.

"Xiao Zhen." Li Xingzhi shouted, and after a while, Xiao Zhen and Song Ci arrived in front of Li Xingzhi.

Xiao Zhen lowered her head in fear and trepidation: "Master Hou... When did you come back, Master Hou?"

"How did my yard become like this? Is this asking me to return to the original?" Li Xingzhi asked.

Xiao Zhen hesitated: "Yes..."

"It's me." Nan Zimu opened the door and walked out, then smiled embarrassedly, "Master Hou, don't be angry, I lived here for more than a month, and felt that the courtyard was too deserted, so I changed it without authorization. Master Hou, don’t you think—the courtyard is full of life now, and people standing here feel lively and energetic?”

"..." Li Xingzhi restrained his desire to whip him, walked to the pond, and found that there were not many koi left in the pond. He turned his head and asked the three people standing there, "Where are the koi?" Where is it?"

Nan Zimu pointed to the dried fish on the ground, and said inaudibly, "It's...here."

Li Xingzhi: ...

-

That night, Li Xingzhi went to see Xiao Huanxi as usual, but it was a pity that Xiao Huanxi had just finished drinking milk and fell asleep with the fat cat next to the charcoal basin.

Li Xingzhi stared at Yueba who was curled up on the ground for several times, and asked helplessly: "Shall I write another song "Returning to the Garden" as a gift?"

Although Li Xingzhi was usually moody and angry, but this time Nan Zimu could tell that he was angry.In order to save his impression in Lord Hou's heart, Nan Zimu said softly, "No need, no need. Don't be angry, Lord Hou. Axi just buy a group of koi and return it to you."

"Buy a group? Do you know how much money those koi cost?"

Nan Zimu dragged his voice lazily: "I have money."

"You come to be a nanny if you have money, whose spy are you?" Li Xingzhi was sitting on a wooden chair, but now he stood up, walked to Nan Zimu's bed, and asked in a low voice.

Nan Zimu didn't answer.

Li Xingzhi pressed his shoulders, leaned closer, and asked patiently: "Who gave you the courage to live in my yard privately?"

Li Xingzhi's fierceness is still dangerous to a certain extent. Nan Zimu was not frightened by the oppressive feeling of Lord Hou's bullying, and put his finger on Li Xingzhi's hand on his shoulder: "Your mother gave it to you."

"..." Li Xing was taken aback, almost thinking that Nan Zimu was scolding him.

"It was the concubine who asked me to bring your son to live here. She said that the child is still young and it would be better to stay with his father. When you come back late every day, she doesn't want you to run away." Nanzimu said dryly. explain.

After pondering for a moment, Li Xingzhi scolded his disrespectful mother in his heart, and still wondered: "What is the purpose of you making such a fuss? Just come to live in my yard like this, is it with those brothers?" Do you want to be my concubine? I..."

Before Li Xingzhi could finish saying "I don't like this", Nan Zimu interrupted: "Who wants to be your concubine?"

"..."

Nan Zimu rolled his eyes, and said seriously: "I am very ambitious, and I want you as a whole, Lord Hou."

Li Xingzhi looked at his serious look, laughed a few times, loosened his hands on his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Then your ambition is really big."

Seeing that Li Xingzhi didn't take what he said seriously, Nan Zimu was a little angry. He lightly clasped Li Xingzhi's wrist with his cold fingers, propped himself up and quickly pecked a small mouthful under Lord Hou's eyes, and said, "I am seriously."

Hou Ye was a little at a loss for a while, he retracted his hand nervously, stepped back a few steps and stood still, his whole body seemed to have grown more than 300 bones, and his mouth was no longer active.After a while, he said vaguely: "Shameless."

Li Xingzhi's legs and feet were shamelessly out of control, and he almost turned into a crutch in front of Nan Zimu's eyes.

He walked out of the door and entered into the cold night, the blood that had just been surging was soaked by the cool wind, which aroused goose bumps all over his body.

It is snowing heavily outside.

"Lord Hou." Nan Zimu pulled out a fox fur coat, walked behind Li Xingzhi, and clumsily put a cape on him: "Be careful on the road."

Li Xingzhi was only wearing a single shirt, even though he was a martial artist, he couldn't bear the biting chill.He let out a breath of white air, feeling a gust of warm wind blowing through his heart, but it was fleeting.
