Qi Mingxuan held the sunspot in his hand and remained silent.

There was a brief silence in the house.

Seeing this, the old man didn't urge him. As a student, he likes to keep everything in his heart. It's rare for him to show his emotions today, otherwise he wouldn't ask any questions.

The chess pieces made of fine black jade roll between the fingers, showing the owner's uneasy state of mind.

"My lord found out...I found that I paid too much attention to one person recently." After a moment of silence, Qi Mingxuan closed his eyes, and opened his mouth to speak out the problem that had troubled him for a long time.

I haven't noticed yet, but he really pays too much attention to Li Shu.Li Shu saved him again and again, all he had in his heart was gratitude and an inexplicable emotion.If the person who rescued him was replaced by anyone other than Li Shu, his first reaction would definitely be to be vigilant, not what he is now...

The old man gathered the pieces on the chessboard one by one, and gradually smiled when he heard this: "Your Highness is only worried about this problem?"

"This king... shouldn't be so concerned about a person." Let alone what he thinks about Li Shu, he shouldn't show this concern when it comes to the situation of the two of them.

"Your Highness, if you can't help but pay attention to a person, there is nothing wrong with this matter. Naturally, Your Highness doesn't need to worry about this matter, just let it be."

The old man had an expression of "it's no big deal", but there was a lot of turmoil in his heart. He heard that some time ago his apprentice, who had always refused to understand, helped the daughter of Zuo Xiang's family at the Luming Banquet. His apprentice Is this the cycad tree blooming?

He just said that there are not many conditions at the border. When he returns to the capital, his apprentice will definitely find the person he likes to spend the rest of his life with. It will be the same as the magic stick said, and he can only die alone.

The chess pieces were put back one by one, the teacher's words were still lingering in his mind, the hand hanging by his side moved slightly, and his brows stretched slightly.

Let nature take its course...?

The appearance of calm will always be lifted by turbulent fluctuations. At the end of August, countless refugees flocked to the capital and clashed with the guards of the capital. The riots that had been hidden for a long time by various forces finally broke out.

Ping County, Songyang County... The disaster situation in one place after another was sent to the king's desk.

"Okay! Very good!" The emperor stood up with a flick of his sleeves, staring at the memorial in his hand and wanted to eat people, "Is this when I don't exist? How dare you even touch the money for disaster relief? This is money for saving lives!"

He slapped the armrest of the dragon chair vigorously, his face flushed with anger, he raised his head, looked at the courtiers standing below one by one, and smiled angrily: "Look, look at the good things you have done, loyal to the emperor and the country, you are so loyal to the emperor , so patriotic!"

No one expected that this year's disaster would be so serious. Almost all of the north was occupied. After the severe drought, there was a large-scale locust plague. The relief food promised by the court was not available for a long time, and the victims had no hope of life, and only despair was left in front of them.

"I remember," the emperor read out a string of place names casually, "I sent people to relieve the disaster in these places. What's going on now, who will tell me?"

The names of the places mentioned by the emperor were the first reported disaster areas, and the imperial court also sent people to deal with them immediately. It stands to reason that the disaster situation in these places should be alleviated, but the fact is that the disaster situation in these places is even worse. serious.

Other things can be slowed down for the time being, and the matter of disaster relief is urgent.

In the court hall, the emperor lost his temper a lot. Mr. Sun, who was in charge of the last disaster relief incident, was dismissed by the current court. In front of the furious emperor, everyone was in danger and no one dared to plead for mercy.

After the court was over, Li Shu was summoned by Eunuch An: "Master Li, Your Majesty is waiting for you in the imperial study."

Li Shu paused slightly, turned around and walked towards the imperial study.

After he couldn't see clearly, someone said enviously: "Your Majesty Li really has the emperor's heart."

This is the first time I have been called to the Imperial Study Room alone after the next court, not to mention the flying speed of promotion, which is really enviable.

At this time, someone saw Li Cheng's carriage and walked over, before he could say a few flattering words, Li Cheng had already got into the carriage.

Ever since getting into the carriage, Li Cheng's brows have never been loosened. He always feels that some things are out of his control, just like——his good son Li Shu.

Li Shu's popularity was beyond his expectation. He was even more surprised by the child's way of acting after becoming an official. He thought that Li Shu would be the best chess piece in his hand. It may not be so easy to control this pawn.

He had to think of a way. For the time being, Li Shu couldn't lose this chess piece.

Following Eunuch An to the imperial study, he found that he was not the only one waiting here, but also Qin Wang Qi Mingxuan.

The emperor stood by the window with his back to them, and turned around when he heard the voice, his brows were tightly frowned, and the gully was distinct.

"I called you here alone, and I want to give you a task." He rubbed the space between his brows, and took a few steps forward. "Recently, there have been a lot of refugees in the capital, and I have to take part of the responsibility for this kind of result. After thinking about it Go, the matter of resettling refugees is left to the two of you, so I can rest assured."

After such a big incident happened, the refugees who flocked to Beijing must be resettled, otherwise there would be a big mess, and in the end all kinds of crimes might have to be blamed on him.Thinking of this, the emperor wished to kill those who embezzled the disaster funds.

He hasn't touched these people yet, they are rushing to kill them.

The murderous look flashed away in his eyes, and the emperor looked at Li Shu and Qi Mingxuan who were standing straight in front, the more he looked more satisfied, especially Li Shu, the courtier he raised with one hand, could not handle it more easily.

"You two, do a good job, and come to me if you need anything." He doesn't mind giving a little more to someone who makes him feel at ease.

"The minister/children obey orders."

The matter of resettling refugees seemed simple, but there were many difficulties in operation. The emperor assigned the matter to two people. In order to come up with a workable plan, the exchanges between the two gradually became more frequent.

So, while the officials were trembling for fear of being affected by the emperor's anger, they suddenly realized: Huh?Since when did King Qin and Lord Li get along so well?

The two people who used to be in harmony with each other will now get together and say a few words before parting ways.

[Host, the plot point "The male and female protagonists jointly resettle the victims" is about to start, please prepare in advance. ]

After the Luming Banquet, the hero was sent out for a while, and the system never mentioned anything related to the task. Li Shu really didn't expect that the next plot point would start so soon.

[What stage has the plot progressed to now?As far as I know, the hero and heroine have no contact at all during this time. ] Li Shu put down his pen and laid out the written notes.

[The female lead has been consciously avoiding any intersection with the male lead, but after the Luming Banquet last time, Li Cheng mistakenly believed that the male lead was interested in the female lead, and was already secretly trying to bring the two together. ]

According to Li Cheng's temperament, this is not impossible, especially when Li Cheng finds out that he is out of control, he will definitely use the heroine if he finds it profitable.

With such a great power in Qi Mingxuan's hands, Li Cheng will not let it go easily.

[Li Xinuo made it clear that she didn't want to have any entanglements with the male lead, but Li Cheng tried every means to make the two into a couple. Is this the power of the plot? ] Li Shu lowered his eyes in thought, just like the last time, the plot was deliberately reversed by the heroine, and finally returned to the original track.

[Is the host worried that we will work hard for nothing?Don't worry about this, the small world will indeed be subject to certain plot constraints, but this is not force majeure, and there is still a lot of room for operation in it. ]1314 explained.

After taking a break today, Li Shu changed his clothes after finishing his official duties, and was going to visit the suburbs of the city.

The open space in the southern outskirts of the city was divided to temporarily house the victims near the capital.It is not sure whether the victims have the disease. For the safety of the people in the city, these victims are arranged outside the city, and the porridge is given regularly every day, and a doctor is arranged to come to see the doctor.

When Li Shu arrived, it was time for porridge distribution. Although the victims were in shabby clothes, they were in good spirits and were orderly queuing up to make porridge.Li Shu turned his gaze around, and suddenly stopped when he saw something.

Not far from him stood a plainly dressed girl, who was facing him sideways, talking to someone in front of her, her mood fluctuated greatly.

Due to the angle, the person opposite the girl was just blocked by something outside, and only a piece of black clothes was exposed.Although the girl's face was disguised, Li Shu recognized at a glance that it was the heroine Li Xinuo.

Li Shu stood at the same spot, no longer approaching, just a little curious: why is Li Xinuo here?And who was she talking to?

The folk customs of Dazhou are open, and there are relatively few restrictions on women, but it is only relative. Places like those used to resettle refugees generally do not allow women to come alone by default, especially women from rich families.

Li Shu looked around, but didn't see the servants of Zuo Xiangfu, so he couldn't help but frowned, did Li Xinuo come here by himself?

It is true that Li Xinuo came here alone. She left the servant girl who followed her in the city, changed into unremarkable clothes, and quietly went to the northern suburbs.

——I just didn’t expect to meet this person again.

Li Xinuo looked at the tall man standing in front of him, a deep sense of powerlessness swept over him, and his chest heaved violently:

Why, why can't I escape? !

Will everything in memory repeat itself again?

No, no, she must stay away from this person.

"Are you okay?" Li Xinuo's complexion was getting worse and worse, as if he was about to faint, thinking that the other party was Li Shu's younger sister, Qi Mingxuan asked.

Suddenly awakened from his thoughts, Li Xi Nuo took a step back, gasping for breath while holding his chest: "My daughter is fine, please trouble Your Highness to take care of me."

Qi Mingxuan looked at it coldly, and didn't have any intention of helping the crumbling girl. If the girl wasn't that person's younger sister, he wouldn't have stood here wasting time.

especially……

Thinking of those rumors in the capital, Qi Mingxuan's eyes darkened.Before, he didn't know what kind of feelings he had for the young man, but now he understands that after such a beautiful dream, how can he not see his mind clearly.

I was shocked that I had such a thought, but I didn't feel disgusted at all, as if it should have been like this.

In this way, it makes sense, why his attitude towards the young man is different from others, why he likes to get close to the young man, and is happy for a smile of the young man for a long time...

Qi Mingxuan has never been a person who retreats despite difficulties. He likes Li Shu and naturally wants Li Shu's response, but before that, he will resolve all obstacles between the two of them, whether it is things or people.

For example, there are rumors in the capital that he is in love with Zuo Xiang's daughter.

Frightened by Qi Mingxuan's sudden imposing manner, Li Xinuo couldn't help but fall back, thinking that the other party was the sister of his sweetheart, Qi Mingxuan stretched out his hand to help her.Leaning forward, he happened to see Li Shu standing not far away.

"Zi Shu?"
