Xia Yunze felt that he had recovered from his illness and was alive and strong, but just to be on the safe side, Caiwei forced him to give him a dose of medicine, and then went back to the study to lay out a pen and paper to make a schedule for the prince.

In the past, lessons were sold for life, but now they are for feelings.

In the past, he had to coax patiently with a smiling face when he encountered a lot of troublesome students.

Now that Sansheng is lucky enough to meet a soft persimmon like Xiao Mingyue, and the teaching is free, he can naturally straighten his back and become a devil coach.

Xia Yunze was gearing up and motivated, and immersed himself in sketching on the paper. Fortunately, he still remembered to maintain his "illiteracy" character design, drew a bunch of matchstick figurines, and roughly listed the movements to be practiced in each lesson.

"Xia Yunze, a soul painter, is professional, patient and responsible." He unfolded the paper to dry the ink, and smiled in satisfaction, "Eat well, exercise hard, overcome all difficulties, and become a strong man."

The crown prince's work was done, and he began to worry about Xiao Mingxuan again, and sighed, feeling overwhelmed.

Caiwei came over to refill his tea, and when she asked, she found out that he was troubled by Erlang Xiao's birthday gift, so she smiled and said: "If you want clothes, shoes and socks, the servant can help, or open the storeroom to get the money from the master's dowry." Just pick a rare one."

"It's not in the warehouse, and you can't help." Xia Yunze waved his hands, his eyes hurt, as if what he was going to attend next month was not Xiao Mingxuan's birthday banquet, but his memorial service.

In the past, when encountering difficulties, he could still ask Caiwei for advice, but this matter... Even if people are willing to listen, he is too embarrassed to talk about it!

That dog Xiao Mingxuan didn't know which tendon was wrong, so he insisted on giving him a bunch of tadpoles himself.

It is also required to produce and sell fresh goods just out of the warm nest.

Listen, are you sick?Is it perverted?Is there a bag on the head?

Where does he want tadpoles?It is clear that he wants to meet his own little firecracker!

Why?

In the same environment as the monk temple in his university, he didn't become a gourd baby with his roommate!

How come in this land full of beauties, top dignitaries like Xiao Erlang don't expand the harem, but come to tease me!

Well at least he didn't request to inspect each other's armed forces, otherwise Xia Yunze wouldn't be able to nod even with a knife on his neck.

My hands are thin and small, if I can't hold them... No!Hurry up!

Xia Yunze shuddered. He had only heard of blood alliances, but he hadn't heard of people becoming sworn brothers from scriptures. No matter how clear his thinking was, he didn't dare to insist that this is fucking brotherhood!

There is no brotherhood like this in any dimension!

"If you can't do it, you can only owe and owe it." The honest baby who has always been adhering to "I have to do what I promised to cry to death" has decided to be an old lai from today. In order to maintain integrity, credit is a bird. It’s available any time to unscrew or unscrew it, and I can’t do anything about it.”

Xia Yunze temporarily turned into an ostrich, and buried his head in the sandpit to pretend that the world was peaceful, anyway Xiao Mingxuan was reluctant to be rough on him, it's hard for a hero to burst into a rolling chrysanthemum!

Be owed, be owed, autumn goes, winter comes, spring comes again, and the debts become bad debts in the end. By the time the other party wants to enforce it, maybe he has already slicked his feet.

The plan works, no problem!Xia Yunze let go of a worry, and planned to ask Caiwei to open the warehouse to pick out a gift for Xiao Mingxuan. After all, the 20-year-old and the crown ceremony should be taken seriously.

It's not because of a guilty conscience because of debts!Not to mention paying interest in advance!

Sleeping all night with his sweetheart in his arms, even though he didn't eat a few mouthfuls of tofu, Xiao Mingxuan was still in a good mood. The result of his good mood was to let the soldiers run around the school ground ten more times, to let the young people have nowhere to rest their energy.

Everyone was tormented and complained, but they dared not speak out. Fortunately, General Xu came and hurriedly looked for Xiao Mingxuan, so everyone suspended the drill and rested on the spot.

"Lian Ziyu has come to the capital and wants to be transferred back. Please entrust it to my father." Xu Zhengyuan stood on the opposite side of his princeling father and stood clearly on Xiao Mingxuan's side. For this reason, he was often beaten by his father. It's useless, if there is any trouble, I will still run over to report to my best friend.

Xiao Mingxuan frowned upon hearing this name, sneered, and asked: "He is Concubine Shun's natal family, so it's so convenient to find the prince directly, why don't you look far away?"

"Hey... how do you know he doesn't want to?" Xu Zhengyuan sighed, "I still have a grudge, after all Xiao Lian died so badly back then... Even if the family didn't say anything, they must be resentful."

Xiao Mingxuan looked even colder, and said sarcastically: "Forget it, these years they have reached out to the East Palace for this and that. Lian Ziyu is considered to have a backbone, why, after several years of wind and sand in the northwest, I finally couldn't bear it anymore. came back?"

"That's right, the Crown Prince has always been responsive to Lian's family." Xu Zhengyuan moved closer and lowered his voice: "Xiao Lian was really killed by him?"

"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Xiao Mingxuan's eyes were full of sarcasm, and his tone was full of disgust, "Xiao Lian's life was exchanged for his brother Mingyue's crown prince, and he deserved his death."

What's wrong with the family?Throw out an unfavored young son in exchange for the merits of the dragon, and he will ascend to heaven with chickens and dogs in the future.

"Send an invitation to Lian Ziyu, and take advantage of the birthday party for a while." He frowned with thick eyebrows, his expression was stern, and his mood became gloomy.

"Okay." Xu Zhengyuan had heard a little bit about what happened back then, but he only knew that a companion named Lian Zichen died in the palace that winter, and Xiao Mingyue was heartbroken and seriously ill, and his health has been bad ever since. As for Xiao Mingxuan, he took the blame and was beaten almost to death by the emperor.

This incident was a watershed in the struggle for power between the two palaces. In the spring of the following year when the dust settled, Xiao Mingyue was canonized as the crown prince, and Xiao Mingxuan completely changed his temper, becoming an arrogant and domineering demon king who refused to obey discipline.

Later, the court kept this calamity secret, and no one mentioned it anymore. Lian Zichen seemed to have never existed, and was lightly annihilated in the changing years, becoming a trivial living sacrifice on the way of the prince's apotheosis.

Behind the virtuous, wise and immortal prince, how much blood and tears are buried and how much dirt is hidden!

After sending Xu Zhengyuan away, Xiao Mingxuan went back to the school grounds to continue training, thinking of those old things, his chest seemed to be a mess, and he felt depressed.

Unexpectedly, thinking of Xia Yunze's scheming smile, his cold heart gradually warmed and softened. He let out a foul breath towards the sky, and clenched the handle of the knife in his hand.

He will not let Xiao Lian's tragedy repeat itself in the East Palace!

Lian Ziyu seemed to have been worn down by the hard times in the northwest border. After a few days in Beijing, she finally bowed her head to the East Palace.

His letter of greeting was presented to the Prince's desk after another, when Xiao Mingyue saw this name, she was first extremely surprised, then mixed with sorrow and joy.

When the old man reunited, it was too late to say goodbye, so he was filled with endless sadness.

Xiao Mingyue greeted her at the bottom of the steps, seeing Lian Ziyu's haggard face, her eyes got wet.

Lian Ziyu tidied up his clothes and kowtowed to him, Xiao Mingyue quickly reached out to help him: "Brother Ziyu! There is no need for you and me to perform such a grand ceremony."

"There is a difference between a monarch and his ministers, and the ministers dare not overstep." How could his strength stop a grown man?Lian Ziyu insisted on prostrating and prostrating with all the rules and etiquette, but drew an insurmountable gap between the two.

Xiao Mingyue looked gloomy, and led him into the palace, gave him a seat and tea, Lian Ziyu thanked him one by one, reserved and polite.

Seeing his appearance, Xiao Mingyue also guessed a bit, and sighed: "Brother Ziyu is still blaming me."

"I don't dare." Lian Ziyu looked at him deeply, "It's just that after a long absence, seeing His Highness the crown prince's demeanor is better than before, I can't help but think that if Chen'er is still alive, he might be as tall as this. "

Xiao Mingyue burst into tears when she heard the words, her chest was full of pain, and she said in a shy voice: "I should be blamed, if I had taken good care of him back then, I wouldn't have..."

"Your Highness." Lian Ziyu interrupted him, and gently persuaded him: "Life and death are deterministic, and His Highness does not need to blame himself. If Chen'er knows, seeing His Highness shed tears for him will make her feel sad."

Xiao Mingyue wiped away the tears, asked him what he had seen and heard in the northwest in recent years, sighed again, and said: "Now I am in charge of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Rites, and the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is my mentor. Brother Ziyu just choose It’s a good place to go, although I’m incapable, I still have some fluff.”

"The minister relied on his past affection and begged His Highness for a favor." Lian Ziyu stood up, bowed to him, and said solemnly: "The minister has been in the northwest these years, except for military affairs. , and nothing else, I just want to get into the barracks and get a trivial job, and do my best."

Xiao Mingyue's eye circles were still red, and she was sad, but things were not so easy——

"You want to go to the Gyeonggi Garrison Camp?"

Lian Ziyu nodded and looked at him expectantly.

If he had come back half a month earlier, entering the garrison would have been a matter of a word, but now that it has become Xiao Mingxuan's territory, it is not easy for him to put people there.

Today, since Ziyu opened his mouth, he had no choice but to give up his face and give it a try. After all, he is Xiao Lian's elder brother, so he should take care of him.

"Okay." Xiao Mingyue nodded in response, the relationship between the rich and powerful in the capital is intricate, and the garrison camp is not monolithic. If Xiao Mingxuan does not buy into his own account, there will always be someone who can control him.

The two chatted a few more words about their respective situations after parting, one canonized prince's aspirations of the people, the other's bumpy official career bumped into walls everywhere, and they drifted away from each other like clouds and mud.

"Don't be afraid of Your Highness's jokes. If I am alone, I will stay in the northwest for the rest of my life." Lian Ziyu was not as cautious as before, and he no longer spoke every single word. He smiled bitterly and said, "I only pity my wife, children and family. I am willing to let them accompany me to spend my whole life in that bitter cold place."

Xiao Mingyue also laughed, and said in agreement: "Pity the weak and cherish the young. A man should be like this. In the officialdom, there are not many people who are as affectionate and sexual as brother Ziyu."

"What kind of affection is it? It's just that the world's ambitions have been sapped and you're just dawdling around." Lian Ziyu showed embarrassment, and cupped his hands at him, "Your Highness is busy with business, I can't stay long, so I'm leaving."

Xiao Mingyue sent him out all the way, and when he reached the porch, Lian Ziyu suddenly stopped, and said softly: "Since you are here, I will dare to ask you one last question."

"Brother Ziyu met me again." Xiao Mingyue scolded with a smile, "Even if you ask, I will answer everything."

"Chen'er, he..." Lian Ziyu gritted his teeth, and finally asked the doubts that had lingered in his heart for ten years, "Did you really get killed by the Second Highness?"

Xiao Mingyue's face sank like water, and a layer of frost condensed in her eyes, she snorted coldly, "Who else could it be?"

That was a scene he never forgot in ten years, the pool was still covered with ice floes, he couldn't wait for the palace man to come over, he jumped down, grabbed Xiao Lian's clothes and pushed him to the shore with all his might, his face was full of tears, He called Xiao Lian Xiao Lian so loudly that his voice became hoarse, and he begged all over the world, but he couldn't call his Xiao Lian back.

Xiao Lian, who is gentle and loves to laugh, and "Brother Mingyue" every bite, has long since become a cold and stiff corpse, his immature life frozen in that bone-chilling winter.

After sending Lian Ziyu away, Xiao Mingyue lowered his eyelids and let out a sad sigh.

That culprit should stop trying to get his hands on the people in the Eastern Palace, he will never let the princess follow in Xiao Lian's footsteps.
