Funing Hall

For dinner, Zhao Cong naturally ate Hangzhou-style small wontons.Zhao Shiqi always moved around which was not good for his body, so Zhao Cong simply went to the side hall to eat, and the low table was placed in front of the bed for Zhao Shiqi's convenience.

Naturally, Zhao Shiqi couldn't get enough of wontons. He wanted noodles, and Rantao stood at the table mixing noodles for him, and said, "Xiao Langjun, remember to drink the soup."

Zhao Shiqi glanced at it, the soup cup was extraordinarily delicate, and he asked, "Is it from Concubine Qian Shu?"

"Yes, Concubine Shu specially ordered someone to bring it here, and drank it to replenish Qi and blood."

Zhao Cong nodded: "Drink it quickly, and drink the medicine later."

"Don't drink."

Zhao Cong said "hmm" and didn't try to persuade him.

Zhao Shiqi looked up at him in surprise, he was usually unwilling to drink, but Zhao Cong always wanted to coax him to drink.

Zhao Cong also looked at him: "See what I'm doing? If you don't want to drink, I can't help it."

"...Is His Majesty angry?" Zhao Shiqi asked cautiously.

"Don't be angry." Zhao Cong put down the spoon and said to Rantao, "Go and get some vinegar for you Eleven Lords, and pour half a bowl into this soup, so that the soup tastes better, and he will drink it like that of."

Rantao tried her best not to laugh, she just finished mixing the noodles, Fuli said: "Yes, maidservant, go get it now." After she said that, she turned around and left, Zhao Shiqi came back to her senses and told her: "Don't go ah!"

Rantao had strode out of the inner room.

"Hey—" Zhao Shiqi was still screaming, but when he heard Rantao's uncontrollable laughter from outside, his eyebrows drooped.

"You also know how to be ashamed?"

"..." Zhao Shiqi said awkwardly, "Your Majesty knows now?"

"I'm afraid that tomorrow everyone in Kaifeng will know that Mr. Zhao Shishilang is going to open a vinegar workshop."

"Yi Mo won't tell people that I ordered it. Besides, what if I open a vinegar workshop, and others don't know what I mean."

Zhao Cong was even more amused when he heard that what he said was reasonable: "You really mean that? Are you still proud?"

Zhao Shiqi still wanted to talk, and Zhao Cong handed him the chopsticks: "Eat quickly, I have something to talk to you after eating. As for the workshop, you can open as many as you want."

"Then how many more vinegar workshops should I open?"

"eat fast!"

Zhao Shiqi laughed softly and ate it with his head buried. Zhao Cong looked at it and hurriedly said: "Eat slowly, you will choke if you eat too fast."

"I want to listen to you." Zhao Shiqi looked up at him while eating noodles, really like a 16-year-old innocent boy who didn't know much about the world.

Zhao Cong naturally knew that the person in front of him was not like this at all, and it was obvious that he wanted to please him.But this point poked him very much, his heart was itchy and warm, and he ate some small wontons with a smile.He was [-]% full after eating, and Zhao Shiqi was still not full after eating a large bowl of noodles, so he ate rice with soup, and Zhao Cong would give him some vegetables from time to time.Zhao Shiqi ate, raised his head and smiled at him.

Zhao Cong felt warmer in his heart.

After Zhao Shiqi finished eating, he rinsed his mouth with tea, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and then asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

"Are you asking someone to take that student's writing?"

Zhao Shiqi didn't intend to hide it from him at first, but when he saw that he knew, he nodded: "Well, we have to find out who it is."

"I'm afraid it's hard to find out. That student met Sun Boxun two years ago, so it can be seen that this person started planning a long time ago." After Zhao Cong said, he laughed at himself, "There are too many people who want me to die."

"Your Majesty..." Zhao Shiqi held his hand, and before he could say anything, Fulu outside said loudly: "Your Majesty, I have a letter from you, hurry up."

"Bring it."

Fu Lu came in and handed the letter to him, then stood aside, Zhao Cong opened the letter, opened it, and halfway through it, his brows frowned.

"Your Majesty?" Zhao Shiqi was curious.

After Zhao Cong read it, he showed the letter to Zhao Shiqi. After Zhao Shiqi finished reading it, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but it implied a deep meaning: "The Sun family is really a useful knife, and it is needed everywhere."

Zhao Cong also laughed, and he asked Fu Lu: "The letter said it was sent by the guard himself?"

"Exactly."

"Does anyone say where Huang and Fan have gone?"

"He said that when he returned from sending the letter, Mr. Huang was already awake and had already arrived in Suzhou."

Zhao Cong was silent, put the letter on the table, and said softly: "You go out first."

"Yes." Fu Lu bowed his head and stepped back.

The letter was written by Huang Shu, and he didn't take Joe this time. After Fan Shiwu took people there, he knew what His Majesty meant, and he also knew that he had already refused once, and this time he could not refuse again.His Majesty specially sent Fan Shiwu to invite him back, which was already giving him the greatest face.He didn't procrastinate, and handed over the official affairs to his subordinates one by one. He originally wanted to wait for the next Zhizhou to take office before leaving, but it took a long time, so he returned to Beijing with Fan Shiwu first.

As Zhao Shiqi said, even the official roads in the area of ​​Guangnan West Road are not peaceful.They were indeed killed by people on the road, and there were more than one wave. Because of the protection of the guards sent by the palace, they survived the first wave of robbing bandits safely.When encountering the second wave, it happened that Huang Shu was talking to the old man in the tea house on the street alone, and successfully took him away.Fortunately, the guards came just in time, otherwise Huang Shu would have been taken captive.

At that time, the man had already been taken away, and the guards chased Huang Shu back only halfway through.

Huang Shu was not a young man, he fainted after being frightened.

The bandit slipped away in a hurry and dropped something.And that thing, unfortunately, is also a sharp knife shaped like a pen.When Huang Shu wrote the letter, he didn't know these things that happened in Luoyang, so he listed them one by one in the letter and informed Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong stared: "According to the letter, the day when he was taken away happened to be the day when I came back from Luoyang."

Zhao Shiqi bent slightly, but still couldn't straighten up. He propped his elbows on the table and nodded, "He must have known about the Sun's family's objects that harmed people, and he wanted to put this charge on the Sun's family so that he could get away, so he used this method." It can be seen from this that the person behind the salt field incident and even the frame-up of Du Yu is not the same person as the person who framed the Sun family."

Zhao Cong smiled: "This man is considered smart. Whenever there is trouble, he knows to take it for his own use. It's a pity that he was deceived just like others. This matter was not done by the Sun family in the first place. He is a smart man Misunderstood by cleverness, this person claims to be smart, and sooner or later he will reveal his truth."

Zhao Shiqi didn't care and said: "What this person wants is different from what the person behind the assassin wants, and he has nothing to fear. It's just the person behind the assassin, who does your Majesty think?"

"Who could it be? There are only a few people who are worried about my life. Xixia, Liao, Jiang's family, and Sun's family are all possible. This matter was not done by the Sun family, but doesn't it mean that the Sun family doesn't want my life? No one is wronged." As Zhao Cong spoke, he thought about what the Sun family had done, the relationship between Zhao Congde and Empress Dowager Sun, and during those years when Empress Dowager Sun wanted to be a female emperor, Zhao Congde had no other ideas?

It's just that Zhao Congde is really stupid. If Zhao Congde's stupidity is just pretending, then he admires it 100%.

He also has doubts about Zhao Congde, but Zhao Congde is so stupid that he can only be used by others, at best he is a helper, not the mastermind at all.Anyway, in a few days, he will release Zhao Congde.In a place where mountains are long and rivers are far away, who can take advantage of him, the son of the royal family who will never be able to return to Beijing for the rest of his life?

What's more, Zhao Congde is already a mortal man.

He will treat Weijun Wangfu as an ordinary clan in the future.

It's just that Zhao Shiqi couldn't let Zhao Shiqi know about it. He used to find it strange that Zhao Shiqi had no father-son relationship with Zhao Congde, but now he realized that there was no blood relationship.But if such a thing is told to Zhao Shiqi, can Zhao Shiqi not be angry?After all, he was the father in name, but he did such a shameful thing.

Zhao Cong had all sorts of thoughts in his mind.

Zhao Shiqi stretched out his hand to pull him, and said softly: "Your Majesty, I will help you find him out earlier. I am right here, and no one can harm you."

Zhao Cong himself will definitely find out these people, he never dared to rely too much on others.But Xiao Shiyi's words made him inexplicably useful.He held Zhao Shiqi's hand backhanded, and nodded with a smile: "Okay, then you need to get better soon."

Rantao came in after laughing, and Chaxi took the little palace maids to clean up the tables and chairs, and another little eunuch came in to wipe Zhao Shiqi's body. After all was done, Zhao Cong put down the book in his hand, got up and walked to the bed and said softly: "You rest, I go back."

Zhao Shiqi took his hand, lying on the bed, looked up at him: "Your Majesty, please sleep with me."

"...You are already this old."

"Your Majesty, I am so pitiful. My back hurts so much that I often can't sleep. Please accompany me, Your Majesty. I will take a rest tomorrow. Your Majesty will not go to court. Please accompany me." Zhao Shiqi took his hand and said twice, "Stay with me." he".Since the two of Luoyang confessed their feelings, Zhao Cong has no ability to resist him. He has cultivated well and is a gentle person, not to mention that this person is Zhao Shiqi.He saw Zhao Shiqi's pitiful eyes, and although he knew that Zhao Shiqi might be faking it, but the pain was real, so he nodded without hesitation, "I will accompany you."

Zhao Shiqi didn't expect to be able to keep Zhao Cong, so he happily pulled Zhao Cong's hand to his lips, kissed him, and laughed.

Zhao Cong was a little embarrassed at first, but when he saw him laughing like that, he couldn't help laughing too.

He put down the book and said softly: "You lie on your stomach, I'm going to wash up."

"Okay." Zhao Shiqi watched him walk out of the inner room anxiously.

After a while, Rantao came in first, holding a quilt in her hands.Zhao Shiqi immediately said: "Your Majesty and I will put together a quilt."

Rantao smiled and said angrily: "Your Majesty is afraid of the cold, you only have a quilt here, and Your Majesty will freeze! You need to cover it with two layers!"

Only then did Zhao Shiqi laugh again, and Rantao also laughed when he saw him like this, thinking in his heart that His Majesty and Xiao Langjun are really interesting, they strictly discipline themselves outside, and they are afraid of anyone who sees them.In private, it's really like two children.

Ran Tao chatted and laughed with him for a while, Zhao Cong came after he had washed up, his black hair was loose, and he wore a cape.Rantao untied the cloak for him, and he sat on the bed, and Rantao blew out a few more candles, and without further words, smiled, hugged the cloak, turned and retreated.

The inner room immediately became quiet.

They have slept together in the same bed before, the difference is the state of mind, the same thing is that Xiao Shiyi has injuries all over his body.Zhao Cong was really nervous at first, but now he laughed too. Before Zhao Shiqi could ask, he turned to Zhao Shiqi and said, "The last time I slept in the same bed with you was five years ago. There is also an injury, but it is much lighter than this time."

The curtains are thick, but there are candlesticks placed high beside the bed. Inside the curtains, they can see each other's silhouettes and eyes.When Zhao Cong turned around to speak, Zhao Shiqi kept staring at him.

Such eyes made Zhao Cong think of the eyes of a lone wolf that he saw in the animal world in his previous life.

He was taken aback for a moment, and quickly came back to his senses, this is the real Little Eleven.

In the past, pretending to be cute was just to make him happy.

But no matter what kind of little eleven, he loves it.He reached out to find Zhao Shiqi's hand, Zhao Shiqi took his hand first, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, lie down."

Zhao Cong took advantage of the situation and lay down, Zhao Shiqi was wounded, and even stretched out his hand to cover him with a quilt.

He was lying on his back, and Zhao Shiqi was still lying on his stomach. For a while, neither of them spoke.But Zhao Cong knew that Zhao Shiqi was always staring at him with those lone wolf-like eyes.He turned his face sideways and asked Zhao Shiqi, "What are you looking at?"

Zhao Shiqi put his hands under his chin, looked at him sideways, and said softly, "Your Majesty looks good."

Zhao Cong laughed.

Zhao Shiqi said coquettishly again: "Your Majesty, give me a kiss."

"..." Zhao Cong was very disciplined, so he was embarrassed.

Zhao Shiqi suddenly smiled softly, and before Zhao Cong could react, he moved towards him, bowed his head and kissed Zhao Cong.

Zhao Cong paused for a moment with his hands placed in front of him, but did not move after all, but slowly closed his eyes.

***

At the beginning, Zhao Shiqi just touched his lips gently. In his previous life, he had never kissed anyone, and now he just relied on instinct.Soon, he was dissatisfied with just probing, and unconsciously licked Zhao Cong's lips.Zhao Cong opened his eyes and looked at him, and he looked straight at Zhao Cong with that look again, not satisfied with just licking, and instinctively, he pried open Zhao Cong's lips.

Although Zhao Cong has never kissed anyone, but in the world he lived in, there are popular science everywhere, and kisses can be seen everywhere. He knows much more than Zhao Shilu.He didn't want to hinder it either, after all, he liked it very much, so he closed his eyes again.

Zhao Shilu moved more towards him, half of his body was on Zhao Cong's body.

Zhao Cong pulled out his hands, pressed his waist, and said falteringly, "Your injury—"

Zhao Shiqi no longer cared about it, stretched out his hand to press Zhao Cong's shoulder, and grabbed Zhao Cong's tongue.

Zhao Cong could no longer speak, he could only put the bracelet on Zhao Shiqi's back, and slowly caressed the wound painfully.However, Zhao Shiqi lost himself more and more as he kissed, and he could no longer be satisfied with just kissing his mouth. He went to kiss Zhao Cong's brow, Zhao Cong's nose tip, Zhao Cong's earlobe, Zhao Cong's chin, and Zhao Cong's neck.

Zhao Cong's neck was slender, and Zhao Shilu kissed it fascinated.

Not long after, the two of them were panting together.

They are both men, knowing each other's bodies, Zhao Cong panted, and stretched out his hand to push Zhao Shiqi away.

Both reacted.

Zhao Shiqi was like a wolf determined to go his own way, bowing his head and wanting to kiss Zhao Cong, Zhao Cong said softly: "Your injury!"

"Your Majesty." Zhao Shiqi's voice was pitiful, like a poor wolf looking at its prey but being frightened by the fire and unable to approach.He lowered his head, buried his head into Zhao Cong's shoulder socket, and called again softly, "Zhao Cong."

"Hmm..." Zhao Cong answered him with a trembling voice.

Zhao Shiqi's voice at this moment, in the darkness, was terribly alluring.

It was so scary that Zhao Cong felt his hands were shaking, his lips were shaking, and his whole body was shaking.With trembling hands, he gently patted Zhao Shilu's back.

Zhao Shiqi's face was covered with sweat, he still rubbed Zhao Cong's face, and murmured to him: "Zong Bao."

"..." Zhao Cong felt his head was empty.

"Only I can call you that, Your Majesty."

"Yeah." His voice was still trembling.

"Only I can kiss you like this."

"Only I can hug you like this."

"Whoever dares to touch you, I will kill her." Zhao Shiqi said fiercely, "Your Majesty is not allowed to touch other people, and whoever you touch, I will kill him. You don't look at others too much, you can only have me in your eyes If you look at other people more often, I will kill him too, no matter male or female." Zhao Shiqi's voice was gloomy, with traces of coquettishness and grievance.The emotions that were supposed to be distinct were so harmonious.

Zhao Cong clearly knows that he likes people and things that he can control, but also vaguely knows that he cannot control Zhao Shiqi and his feelings for Zhao Shiqi.

But he still likes him very much.

Like it, he is willing to give everything to him, including himself.

He said softly: "I only look at you, only hug you, and only kiss you."

"Zhao Cong—" Zhao Shiqi called him coquettishly again, turned around and kissed his neck again, and wanted to open his skirt.Zhao Cong stopped his hand: "Your injury."

"I'm uncomfortable."

Zhao Cong slid down his waist with trembling hands, and said softly, "I'll do it."

Zhao Shiqi grabbed his hand, turned to look at him, his eyes were very bright, and said to him: "I am here."

"..."

Zhao Cong has been in poor health in his life, and his heart is ascetic. After a while, he is so tired that he can hardly even open his eyes.

Zhao Shiqi finally stopped holding him down, but lay on his side, looked at him affectionately, and said softly, "Wait until I get better."

He thought Zhao Cong would be embarrassed, but unexpectedly Zhao Cong smiled slightly: "Okay, wait until you get better."

They are all men, who wouldn't want to embrace the one they love?What is there to pretend?

After all, Zhao Cong fell into a deep sleep, and Zhao Shiqi still stared at him like a lone wolf in the cold night, almost all night long.

Since returning from Luoyang, Empress Dowager Sun never got out of bed again.

After Sun Xiaoyu was ill for a while, Zhao Zongning married her to Zhao Ting according to the original promise and Zhao Cong's own words.The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching recently, and today happens to be the day when she will go home and wait for her wedding.

Zhao Cong executed the father and son of the Sun family, exiled the men, and took back the sons of the Sun family. The female family members of the Sun family now live in another Sanjin house, which was the dowry of the former Empress Dowager Sun.

It was this home that Sun Xiaoyu wanted to return to.

Before she left, she glanced at the unconscious Empress Dowager Sun on the bed. After all, she was reluctant to part with her. This aunt was actually kind to her.She kowtowed three times in front of the bed, went out to find Aunt Wang, and wanted Aunt Wang to take care of her more.

Aunt Wang is listening to the corner at this time.

Since Zhao Cong came to power, the maids in their palace have changed a lot, and they were all re-arranged by Qian Yuemo.Aunt Wang considered herself a female official, and she even hated that these people were sent by Zhao Cong's concubine, so she didn't associate with them easily.In the past, well water did not offend river water, and sometimes they even attacked each other with words.

These days, she didn't know anything in the palace, and no news came in from the prince, and she didn't know what happened to her poor daughter.She couldn't help being a little anxious, and her anxiety just happened to meet a few court ladies gossiping.

She pouted contemptuously, turned to leave, but suddenly heard someone mention "Queen Dowager".This is also normal. These people guard the Baoci Hall and have no way out. I don't know how many times they have scolded the Queen Mother behind their backs.She hated Empress Dowager Sun and never stopped her. She wished they would scold them more, and she was happy to hear it.

She sneered, and simply listened for a while, just to relieve her boredom.

"The Empress Dowager Sun is also pitiful. Her father and brother are about to die, so she can't take another look."

"She deserves it!"

Another court lady chuckled softly: "You deserve it, you don't know what she did."

"What else can she do now? Isn't she often fighting with Concubine Shu?"

Aunt Wang also had doubts in her heart, what else could cause her to say this?

The court lady said calmly: "I dare not say that this is a matter of losing my head."

"Good sister, tell me, let's just listen."

The other young maids struggled for a long time before she said lazily: "As you all know, Aunt Guo from the Shangyi Bureau is from my hometown. She often makes clothes for the Empress Dowager. Before she leaves the palace, But tell me something."

"My good sister, don't bother us, just tell me!"

The palace maid lowered her voice and talked for a while, before she finally said: "You can't talk about this."

The little maids were so frightened that they were speechless, how could they dare to speak out.

Aunt Wang was too shocked to speak!

How do they know?Do you know that the Queen Mother has an affair with someone and has a private meeting?Do they know that the man is the prince?If they know, what should they do?The Hall of Baoci is in danger, if the Empress Dowager Sun can't survive this time and dies, what will she do!

Trembling, she continued to listen.

Seeing that the little maid was shocked, the maid was even more proud: "I can report this to Concubine Shu, and she will praise me too."

"My sister is about to become a female officer!"

"Ms. Concubine Shu said that this matter is going to be exposed!"

Several court ladies exclaimed: "How, how did this get exposed? This is a loss of face for the royal family."

The palace maid disdainfully said: "It's better to keep this person in the palace all the time?"

"That's right, it's a pity for our little maid, but we have to find a way to find a way out."

"If you want to talk about how to expose it, wait until the day of the Dragon Boat Festival..." The maids whispered all the words, and the little maids were dumbfounded, and they didn't even dare to open their mouths.But this palace lady was personally sent by Concubine Shu to Baoci Hall, and she was regarded as Concubine Shu's confidant.Concubine Shu is also a favorite concubine, and she manages the harem, so she can speak with His Majesty. These words are very convincing!

Aunt Wang was no better than a few young ladies in the palace. Her body was so weak that she stuck to the wall and almost slipped to the ground.

In fact, what these court ladies said was too frivolous, and they couldn't easily win people's trust.But Aunt Wang had a ghost in her heart, and at such a moment when she didn't know the way forward, she was so frightened that she believed it seriously.Just as the little palace ladies said, the big palace lady is indeed Qian Shufei's confidant, and Qian Shufei is Zhao Cong's absolute favorite concubine.

This kind of thing is better to be believed than not to be believed!

Be prepared earlier!

After the maids finished speaking, they left one by one. Aunt Wang trembled for a long time before standing up while leaning on the wall, and walked out slowly.

She didn't know that the big court lady who spoke the loudest just now turned around from behind the wall behind her, smiled coldly at her back, and walked out.
