Pick all the cold branches

At this moment in the deep palace, the situation is dark and dark, and in Beizhen Fusizhao Prison, Zhen Xian is also frowning with worry.

It's not that he was treated badly.

It's not about worrying about the future.

It was His Royal Highness Prince Jing...it really made him a little bit overwhelmed.

It wasn't the matter of His Highness Prince Jing discussing medicine with Li Yuyi.

Although at the time of the incident, Zhen Xian, who was very reluctant to let people watch his private affairs, was really frightened, and he could not help complaining a few words afterwards, but he still knew in his heart that His Highness Prince Jing was just deliberately acting for Chen Shiqin's eyes and ears, that's all. It's not that he really wants to torment him regardless of time and occasion.

His Royal Highness Prince Jing just moved all the cooks from Prince Jing's Mansion to Fusi in Beizhen.

Three meals a day, carefully cooked.Everyone in the Zhen Fusi followed him, and they were so happy that they were a hundred times more active than usual. They wished that Prince Jing would never return to the palace in this life.

The prince said that he was too thin and needed to be supplemented, so he was forced to eat like a duck, which made him feel that his whole body was rounded a few times, and he couldn't change his stomach every day.

This posture is no way to heal his injuries. If it wasn't because his brain was not broken, he would probably suspect that he was raising a fetus.

The prince also tried to persuade him to drink chicken soup by coercion and lure in every possible way, and he must feed him himself.

But he has been a vegetarian for many years, and when he smells the slightest smell of meat, he feels sad and wants to vomit. Whenever the soup bowl is not delivered to his mouth, he will cover his mouth and vomit.The scene is always quite delicate.

Li Yuyi, who comes for consultation every day, always has a delicate expression.

Zhen Xian is really a bit nerve-wracking.It's not that he's afraid of gossip, but that he really... can't take it anymore.

But no matter what he told Jiafei, Jiafei just didn't believe it. If he was in a hurry, he would use some stupid words like "Look at you, you're skinny. If you don't eat more and grow a little meat, your hands will hurt" Blocked his mouth, he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

However, a trace of greed still climbs quietly in the bottom of my heart like a vine.

It would be great if this kind of days could be longer...

Zhen Xian felt that he was probably insane, that's why he came up with such an unrealistic and ridiculous idea.

It is the eagle of the nine heavens and the blue dragon of the vast sea, so it should not be trapped in a cage in a shallow pond.His Highness Prince Jing is not and cannot be a person who lives a leisurely life and is stable in this world.

The narrow space on one side of the prison is almost isolated from the world, so he can't help recalling the past, recalling the carefree past of those childhood sweethearts.

Too much nostalgia is a sign of weakness and laxity, not good.Maybe it was just because of being injured and experiencing life and death that he was filled with emotion.

But sometimes, Zhen Xian couldn't help but wonder, if his family hadn't been in trouble and he hadn't been forced to migrate to Lingnan, would he and His Highness have stayed in that innocent moment forever?

The answer must be no.

Reason is a poisonous knife, which sharply cuts all illusions, poisons to the bone, and is irreversible.

Zhen Xian couldn't help frowning, watching Jia Fei sitting beside him carefully peeling a fresh and juicy orange with his own hands, worrying that His Highness will stuff the orange into his mouth again, but unable to look away.

Those were a pair of hands waving to the world, and now they were actually peeling oranges for him.

"Your Highness, why are you not in a hurry at all." Zhen Xian couldn't bear a long sigh.

"What's the rush? What's the rush?" Jia Fei asked without raising his eyes while sprinkled the best Wu salt on the orange petals.

This question made Zhen Xian choked up speechless for a while.

His Highness is much more calm than when he was young. Now that he has made a choice, he must have been prepared.

This is clearly a good thing.On the contrary, it was him, the older he was, the less able he was to control it steadily, and his demons grew wildly.

He didn't know what was wrong with him, and his heart was always shrouded in anxiety.

Looking at Jiafei with a little blank look in sorrow, he burst into laughter, and sure enough, he stuffed the salted orange into his mouth, and comforted him softly.

"Don't think about it, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there will be another village."

The orange flesh is soft and juicy.

Zhen Xian looked at Jiafei silently with that piece of orange in his mouth, the little orange juice stained on his lips was slightly bright.

Jia Fei looked back at him for a moment, his eyes lingering on the teary lips, and suddenly he leaned over and lightly pecked his lips.

The juice remaining between the lips and teeth is sweet and slightly sour.

Zhen Xian trembled all over, his pupils almost overflowed with a stream of clear water, subconsciously wanting to shrink back.

But Jiafei has firmly grasped him.

He pushed him on the soft couch, carefully avoiding the wound, and rubbed his lips and teeth around him, from shallow to deep.

Since Zhen Xian was seriously injured, the two had not been in close contact for a long time, now that they have tasted it, it is inevitable that they cannot help it.

Zhen Xian's eyes were wet and hot, and he was dizzy and pushed twice, but he couldn't move at all, and there was nowhere to escape, so he had to follow Jiafei's strength and gradually relax.

He closed his eyes.

In the darkness, it seemed as if there were only the two of them left in the world, they could cast aside all shackles and confinement, and simply feel each other's every existence blended into hair and skin.

He was in a state of ecstasy, but Jia Fei suddenly paused, and then straightened up.

"Shiro, why are you here?"

Zhen Xian was startled when he heard the sound, subconsciously opened his eyes and saw Jia Yu leaning quietly against the door, he didn't know how long he had been standing there, how long he had looked at.

There is nothing to be ashamed of.

Zhen Xian blushed from face to neck in embarrassment, and hurriedly tore off his messy clothes, only to find that his arms were completely open, and his belt had gone somewhere.

Jia Fei didn't think there was anything wrong, so he took a piece of thin silk and was covered by Zhen Xian, then straightened his front, and said angrily, "Why didn't you speak when you came here? You still don't make any sound when you walk."

"Second brother doesn't want to see me?"

Jia Yu raised his eyebrows and let out a "chi" laugh.

"It's useless for me to worry about you. Since His Royal Highness Prince Jing is living a happy life here, then the younger brother will not disturb the elder brother's elegant mood."

He turned around and flicked his sleeves to leave.

"Jia Yu is back!" Jia Fei hurriedly called to stop him, "Father has a will?"

"I'm your younger brother, not the eunuch delivering the decree." Jia Yu had a sullen face, deliberately biting the sentence "I'm your younger brother" very hard.

"Father is going to be summoned? So soon?" Jia Fei was stunned for a moment, a little unbelievable.

He originally thought that his father's anger would not go away after half a year.

"Don't go if you don't think it's too soon." Jia Yu pouted, eyes flickering, and added angrily, "The prince is too happy to leave, who can control you."

This heartache and resentment is about to break through the sky.

Jiafei was helpless for a while, so he had no choice but to go forward to hold him, and comfort him dumbfounded.

"Second brother knows that you have been wronged and tired."

You just don't know.If you really know, it is more hateful than not knowing.

Jia Yu bit her lips, glared at Jia Fei, pushed him away, and said angrily, "Hurry up and get ready. I'm going out first."

Zhen Xian felt extremely embarrassed.

The Fourth Prince Jia Yu hated him very much, even if he was a fool, he would be able to sense it.

As for the reason, he was vaguely aware of it.

He just didn't know what to do.

The Fourth Highness is the younger brother of the Second Highness, and it is most appropriate for him to pretend that he doesn't know anything about this relationship that is constantly being cut and messed up.

He didn't want to hurt His Royal Highness, he didn't want to hurt anyone.

But no matter whether it was Brother Su Baba or His Highness the Fourth Highness, he might have been hurt unavoidably.

Zhen Xian leaned against the car in a daze.

Jiafei was sitting next to him, chatting with him casually, pointing to the market outside the window from time to time, talking about the past.

And Jia Yu was sitting opposite them, staring at him gloomyly.

Those eyes were not concealed, as if guarding against some extremely dangerous enemy.

This atmosphere is too tormented.

Many years later, when I returned to the capital for the first time, it was such a scene.

Zhen Xian simply didn't know how Jiafei was able to turn a blind eye so calmly.

Along the way, Jiayu didn't say a word.

It was only when the car entered the inner city that he suddenly said: "I will see my father in a while, please don't say a word if you don't need to say anything."

Before the words finished, Jia Fei had already reprimanded him: "Shiro."

Jia Yu pretended not to hear, and still stared at Zhen Xian, "I know you have a lot of great reasons. But there are many things in the world, and reasoning doesn't work. If you don't think for yourself, at least think for your second brother. Think about it."

"Shiro, don't talk nonsense!" Jiafei frowned, and was about to explode.

Jia Yu stiffened her neck, with an expression of refusal to give in

Zhen Xian hurriedly held down Jiafei.

I didn't know what to say at all, so I could only remain silent.

Of course he wasn't that stupid, he wouldn't say anything that shouldn't be said in front of the emperor.His Royal Highness didn't need to give special instructions.

However, when Zhen Xian really saw Dang Tianzi himself again, he finally understood why Jia Yu said so much.

The emperor has decided to kill Lu Lan.

The moment he walked into the inner courtyard of the palace, Zhen Xian suddenly felt dizzy.

A lot of the past is like opening a floodgate, rushing out and pouring down in the mind.

He suddenly flinched, unable to face it.

Jiafei immediately supported him by his side.

When they arrived at Chengqian Palace, the wives and relatives of all orders had already avoided, and Zhang Siyuan and Cao Ge had already arrived.

And Chen Shiqin.

Zhen Xian was still injured, and the emperor deliberately spared him from saluting and gave him a soft seat. He didn't ask anything specifically, and started a discussion with Zhang Siyuan, Cao Ge, and Chen Shiqin, and let him and the three princes listen from the sidelines.

The things in front of him are people as well, Zhen Xian listened to them in a daze, and for a moment, he had the illusion of separation.

Then he heard the emperor ask about Lu Lan, and he heard everyone say that all kinds of bribery, corruption, corruption, and harm to the people were all blamed on Lu Lan.

For a moment, I was in a trance, mistakenly thinking that I was not in this world.

Lu Lan was guilty, and Zhen Xian did not deny it at all.

But is Lu Lan the only one guilty?

Even if Chen Shiqin couldn't move for the time being, what about Lu Shiquan?

Without the request from the Jiangnan Weaving Bureau, what can Lu Lan do with just a mere private merchant?

This is a scapegoat.

It is the poverty of the state treasury that kills merchants.

Sure enough, the emperor did not intend to move Chen Shiqin.

Zhen Xian looked at everyone present quietly.

Except for Chen Shiqin, his impression of Mr. Cao Ge is also very thin, and now he looks more like a stranger.

To these dignitaries, Lu Lan is just a tool, not a life.

No wonder Lu Lan begged him to save his life in such a roundabout way.

It's a pity that Zhen Xian might not be able to protect this life.

But even if he is incompetent, he can't stand it.

Zhen Xian originally wanted to speak.

But Jia Fei opened his mouth one step ahead of him.

"Father, if Lu Lan is willing to donate all his family property, can this person be saved from death?"

As soon as the words came out, Jia Yu's face completely darkened.

For the sake of Zhen Xian, the second elder brother took the initiative to take over this hot potato.He is really a villain in vain.

As for the rest of the people, except for Jiashou who was shrouded in clouds and mist, their expressions were also very complicated.

The emperor's complexion was also not very good, but he still restrained himself, and asked Jiafei in a deep voice, "Why do you say that?"

Jiafei replied calmly: "Three generations of officials and merchants of the Lu family, known as the richest man, if they are killed like this, I am afraid that no merchants will dare to do things for the court in the future. What's more, when my son was in Suzhou, this Lu Lan already had a lot of repentance. , and did some things of repentance, it is better to spare his life to show the kindness and generosity of the father and the emperor."

He spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and it was not unreasonable to talk eloquently.

Zhen Xian listened from the side, feeling a surge of emotion.

He knew that His Highness wanted to prevent him from opening the mouth, so he opened the mouth for him.

Although he did not ask His Highness for Lu Lan's favor, nor did he intend to say so.

Ever since he learned that Lu Lan had an affair with a Japanese girl, he had made up his mind that he couldn't just let it go.Even though he had promised Lu Lan that he would try his best to save his life, he couldn't.

He can break his promise to Lu Lan, but what he loses is his own virtue of Zhen Xian.But if he insists on defending Lu Lan, what will be accomplished is his self-satisfaction, but what will be damaged will be the blood of the frontline soldiers and the tears of the people in Zhejiang.

If Lu Lan dies, his crime is not unjust.

What was wronged was that only Lu Lan died, and the culprit behind Lu Lan was allowed to continue at large.

But no matter what, Zhen Xian is grateful for Jiafei's kindness.

He just felt extremely sad.

The emperor didn't ask them anything, because the emperor already knew everything and made a decision.

But is killing one Lu Lan enough to quell the monstrous public grievances in Zhejiang?Will it be enough to fill the years-long deficit in the treasury?

Killing a Lu Lan, there will be Zhao Lan and Li Lan in succession, which is meaningless at all.

What's more, if Lu Lan is to die, why should the court come to kill him?

The reason why the emperor really had to kill Lu Lan was just to reassure Chen Shiqin.

Sure enough, he heard the emperor pronounce the sentence in a deep voice: "If you don't kill him, if I don't kill him, someone will kill him, and he still won't survive. The crime of cooperating with Japan and treason is inevitable."

Zhen Xian couldn't bear to let out a long sigh.

He glanced sideways and saw Jia Yu staring at him.

That expression is saying: Don't talk too much.

Zhen Xian had no choice but to look away and lowered his head.

Naturally, he couldn't involve Jiafei.
