accomplice

Zuo Ji was inexplicable.

Don't know what he's talking about.

Just about to ask, but heard: "Ji'er!"

This eager call distracted his attention.

He turned his head to look and saw not far away, a woman about forty years old coming towards them happily, and was suddenly surprised.

As soon as she appeared, Zuo Ji understood who gave him this charming face.

It is said that the twins look very similar, but he and Zhong Sheng grow in two completely different directions.

Zhong Sheng is not only tall, but also has handsome and profound features, making him very handsome.

And although he is not short, but his facial features are exquisite and soft, his lips are red and his teeth are white, he doesn't look murderous at all.

People come and go in a hurry.

The jade step shaking beads on the temples trembled violently.

Seeing that she wanted to hug him as soon as she came up, he was startled and took a step back to avoid her.

"Ji'er, you..."

Compared with Zuo Shicheng, Mrs. Zuo's reaction to seeing her son was much more exciting.

Zuo Ji smiled suspiciously, glanced at Zuo Shicheng, slightly embarrassed, and said to her: "...Mother?"

"what?"

Madame is inexplicable.

She looked at Zuo Shicheng in bewilderment.

Zuo Ji immediately changed his words: "Mom."

In the end, seeing that she was still covered, she had no choice but to quickly say, "Mother."

It's nerve-wracking.

Just now he called Zuo Shi to be his father, and he stared at him for a long time, but now no matter how he calls Mrs. Zuo, his face is confused.

What is the correct name to call it?

He was depressed, his eyes rolled around, and in the end, he had no choice but to cup his hands, give her a serious bow, and called again: "Mother!"

Facing such a birth, her eyes were full of confusion.

In the end, Zuo Shicheng explained to her, saying: "Your Highness just said that this child was poisoned and plotted outside. Although his life was saved, he doesn't remember everything."

"Poisoned?"

Her face turned pale.

She covered her mouth in surprise, and finally grabbed Zuo Ji's hand, looked it up nervously, and felt distressed: "Why? Why did you want to harm you? Are you really okay now? Ah?"

Feeling that he was really unfamiliar with her, Zuo Ji couldn't stand her being so close, so he quickly broke free, blocked him, and explained: "I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm really fine. Don't worry, okay."

"It's no wonder you don't worry." She said excitedly, "You have been weak since you were a child, and now you have been poisoned again. No, you have to see a doctor to make sure you don't suffer from any root cause!"

After all, she is really recruiting.

Zuo Ji once again understood that Zhong Sheng's habit of choosing words every time he listened to others was inherited from someone.

"Didn't you just say that the poison has been cured?"

He was impatient, and blurted out angry words. In the end, seeing everyone looking at him, he felt a little embarrassed.

He also knew that he had offended his elders.

However, he really didn't want to be needled and given medicine when he was fine.

"I've been driving for so many days, I'm too tired, and my tone is bad. Please don't blame my mother."

He is so cold and distant, Mrs. Zuo is really sad.

"...Do you really not remember?"

Her eyes were red, she didn't say anything, she swallowed and choked up, and said to the servant whom she called just now: "...It's okay, let the young master go back to the room to rest first."

Seeing her like this, Zuo Ji felt very guilty.

He wanted to comfort her a few words, but saw Zuo Shicheng came up and hugged her gently, Zuo Ji didn't know what else to say, bid them farewell, and followed the servants away.

Zuo Ji ate dinner in his own room.

He tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to fall asleep, feeling restless, so he sat up.

Mrs. Zuo's extremely sad appearance was still in his mind.

Feeling guilty, he sighed, thinking that since he didn't want to sleep, he might as well go out for a walk.

At night, it is quiet and clear, and the moonlight is bright and clean.

He wandered around casually, intending to familiarize himself with the environment in the mansion, but unexpectedly, he saw a person on the kiosk by the pond.

is her?

He went closer and asked, "Why isn't mother asleep yet?"

Hearing his voice, Mrs. Zuo turned around.

In the end, she was very happy, smiled kindly, and said to him, "Come, sit down."

Zuo Ji came to sit next to her, and at the end, he wanted to apologize for his attitude this afternoon, but he didn't want to, but he heard her ask: "Come out for a walk at night, can't sleep?"

"Well, I'm not very used to it, so I came out for a walk." Zuo Ji asked back, "How about you?"

"I couldn't sleep because you left home, but now that you're back, I still can't sleep."

Madam Zuo sighed.

Zuo Ji was concerned, and asked, "But are you thinking about your sister?"

She nodded.

"Although she is not my own flesh and blood, she was brought up by me anyway, and now her life and death are uncertain. In my heart..."

Speaking of this, her eyes were red.

Seeing her concern, Zuo Ji couldn't bear it, held her hand and comforted her: "Don't worry, she's fine."

"……I hope so."

When she said it, there was a smile on her face, but she frowned, with extremely complicated emotions, and said, "But..."

Zuo Ji understood her concerns.

Zuo Ya is as close to her as her own daughter, and it is difficult to let go, but her existence is a huge threat to the entire Zuo family.

She doesn't know how to deal with this kind of relationship that is either you die or I live.

Pursing her lips and swallowing her sobs, she cared about Zuo Ji: "You are recovering from a catastrophe, but you have to adjust your body well, don't be self-willed, you still have to ask a doctor to come back and take a good look."

Zuo Ji couldn't bear to disobey her, nodded: "Yes."

"Twins, one of them will always be weaker." Mrs. Zuo sighed and recalled: "Back then, when I gave birth to you two brothers, I worked too hard, collapsed and fainted. Come, but the wet nurse didn't bring him, but brought your father in. In my heart, I had an ominous premonition at that time, and sure enough, your father told me that Zhong Sheng was hugged by him Went into the palace..."

"At that time, I even had the heart to kill him."

Tears were rolling in her eyes: "That's our flesh and blood, how could he be willing to..."

"It was only later that I found out that your aunt, Concubine Chong, had conceived gas and gave birth, but she gave birth to a girl. The palace is a place where mothers depend on their children. Your father is afraid that she will lose her love and affect his life. The power of one side made this bad plan, and my mother's family also came to persuade me after knowing about it, saying that my lips were cold and my teeth were dead..."

At that time, she could only smash her teeth and swallow it in her stomach.

And now...

"Everything is safe and sound. After so many years of concealment, the emperor suddenly became seriously ill. The matter of establishing the crown prince suddenly became the top priority. In order to win the throne, everyone fought from the audience to the stage. The second prince did not know where he heard about it. Some things about that year, I tried my best to find evidence to fight

Kuai Zhongsheng, when your father found out, he resented himself for not cutting the grass and roots. I was very afraid that he would harm Zuo Ya, and wanted to send her back to her natal family, but I was also afraid that having the kindness of a woman would ruin the Zuo family forever. I had no idea for a while, but I don't want you to run away with her after knowing the truth. "

Things are so big, he came back today, Zuo Shicheng actually acted like a normal person, it's really not right.

Zuo Ji became more and more puzzled, rubbed his thumb over his lips, thought about it, and asked: "Shouldn't Zhong Sheng be the eldest son?"

"It stands to reason that the second prince's biological mother is the current empress, a direct descendant, so he should be the prince. But the emperor has been reluctant to establish a heir. Everyone thinks about the holy will and thinks that the emperor values ​​Zhong Sheng more, so today's fight."

The queen's background is not bad.

But according to Mrs. Zuo, the influence of Zuo Shi as the head should also be great, and the two empresses have only one son under their knees, and they are both capable people. In comparison, this queen empress has one more wife The title really doesn't take advantage of anything.

Mrs. Zuo grabbed his hand and said to him, "Ji'er, it would be fine if you didn't come back."

"Uh?"

Zuo Ji wondered why she said that.

She was full of worry, and said frankly: "Recently, I have been restless, afraid that something big will happen. If you don't come back, even if something happens at home, it won't affect you, so our family can at least keep you With this little blood, I..."

"Don't think so."

Zuo Ji interrupted her and comforted her: "Our family will be fine. No, the second prince has not found Zuo Ya now, right? You have to trust father, trust Zhong Sheng, we will be fine."

"I hope..." Madam nodded.

Seeing her so worried, he felt complicated.

It was impossible for Zhong Sheng to know his background from the very beginning.

Overnight, it fell from the clouds.

Looking back, what I was thinking about was actually my own brother.

This is a double whammy.

Does he hate Zuo Shicheng?

What about him (the original Zuo Ji).

Originally, men and women are deviant enough.

I guess it's like going crazy when you know the truth, right?

Could suicide have anything to do with this?

No, if you wanted to die from the very beginning, how could you lead people away?

Back in his room, he closed the door and blew out the lamps in the room one by one.

After blowing until there was only the last one left, he suddenly hesitated.

Unfamiliar environment, more anxiety, he was thinking whether to keep this one, suddenly, he was hugged from behind, he turned his head, was held in the face and kissed passionately.

Zhong Sheng kissed him, and found that he did not resist for the first time, he was a little surprised, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

In the darkness, Zhong Sheng's eyes still had stars.

Zuo Ji watched and called out, "Brother."

Zhong Sheng's expression suddenly changed.

Abandoning him almost immediately, Zhong Sheng's expression was extremely unnatural and ugly: "What did you call me just now?"

"Don't worry, it's only this one time. I haven't shouted like that before. I want to try."

After Zuo Ji finished speaking, he felt that sleeping with such a lamp on would cause a fire hazard, so he blew it out in one breath.

As soon as the lights went out, Zhong Sheng pulled him to him.

In the dark, he could feel Zhong Sheng's uneasiness and anger.

Reaching out to touch Zhong Sheng's chest, he slid down to his waist along the curve of his strong body, and he took the initiative to hug Zhong Sheng.

Such initiative made Zhong Sheng stunned again.

He buried his face on Zhong Sheng's shoulder, feeling that Zhong Sheng wanted to hug him back, but he disagreed: "Don't hug me."

Zhong Sheng's hand stopped in mid-air.

At the end, very confused and very opinionated: "Then you hug me?"

"I'm so beautiful, you earned it."

Hearing this stinky beauty, Zhong Sheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head and smiled.

That night, he stayed in Zuo Ji's room.

Just because of a small detail just now.

Zuo Ji didn't dare to blow out the lamp just now, but after seeing him, he blew out the lamp.

Seeing that Zuo Ji was a little afraid of this strange environment, he decided to stay with him.

In the dark, it was very quiet.

The two were lying on the bed as before.

After a long time, Zuo Ji, who couldn't sleep, asked, "Do the two elders know about us?"

"I don't know." Zhong Sheng said lightly, "But I should have heard some rumors."

Zuo Ji remembered that Li Xi had said this before.

Even Li Xi knew that the two of them were having an affair, he thought that Zhong Sheng himself had a big heart and thought that few people were spreading it.

"You used to sneak into the house like this to find me?"

"Ah."

"Come in the middle of the night, leave early in the morning?"

"Ah."

"Aren't you tired?"

Zuo Ji kept nagging, Zhong Sheng simply raised his arms to support his head, and looked at him: "Do you still want to sleep?"

"I'm asleep……"

Hearing Zuo Ji's nonsense, Zhong Sheng smiled slightly.

The hand touching his waist suddenly slipped into his shirt, Zuo Ji sat up in fright, surprised: "What are you doing?"

Zhong Sheng's breath got closer and closer to him.

Cautiously and tentatively kissing him lightly from bottom to top, Zhong Sheng saw that he didn't refuse, got up and wanted to deepen the kiss, but he pushed him away.

Zhong Sheng was slightly taken aback.

"Don't touch me, I'm not him."

After Zuo Ji said such a sentence, he lay down with his back to him.

Zhong Sheng didn't know what he meant by this sentence, and was confused for a while.

"Do you hate Zuo Shicheng?"

Hearing that Zuo Ji actually called the elder's name directly, Zhong Sheng was very surprised and raised his eyebrows.

"Didn't I forget everything? Just now Mrs. Zuo told me in detail what happened back then."

It turned out to be the case.

He frowned, dissatisfied: "So you called me that just now?"

"Just for fun, I didn't expect you to react so strongly..."

Even though Zuo Ji said so, Zhong Sheng was still very unhappy.

He said, "I'm not your brother, I'm your husband."

"Ah."

Zuo Ji had no objection to this appellation, Zhong Sheng was a little surprised, and finally said, "Call me to hear it?"

"……Um."

Hearing the laziness of the voice, Zhong Sheng stood up, only to realize that Zuo Ji had already started to feel sleepy.

"Sleep?"

"……Um……"

Just like this, he can continue to chat with him, and he is convinced.

"Call out?"

"……Um……"

Zhong Sheng couldn't help laughing, shook his head, and helped him cover the quilt.

Zuo Ji slept until noon the next day.

He had no idea when Zhong Sheng left.

After washing and washing, I went to the table and found that there was an extra letter.

At first, he thought it was left to him by Zhong Sheng.

Randomly disassembled and looked at it, the text only has three big characters of Qifengyuan.

He was very puzzled, and was surprised when he saw that Li Xi was the one who signed the money.
