blame me for attacking

In Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing, everything seems to be calm.

In the backyard room, Liu Li sat on the edge of the couch with his brows furrowed. On the couch lay a young man, it was the lifeless Zhao Xiaowu.Now Zhao Xiaowu has taken off his mask, revealing his true face, but his eyes are closed and his face is pale, looking lifeless.

Liu Li reached out and rubbed Zhao Xiaowu's neck for a moment, there seemed to be faint signs of beating there, Liu Li's face softened slightly.

After about a quarter of an hour, the boy's face gradually turned red, his eyelids moved slightly, and then slowly opened his eyes.

"Yo, you woke up fast enough." Liu Li leaned over to look at the boy with a very soft expression.

"Hmm..." The young man wanted to speak, but he didn't make a sound. His eyes were still a bit dazed, and he just looked at Liu Li in a daze.

Liu Li reached out to pick up the bowl on the table next to him, took a spoonful of water and put it near the boy's lips, saying, "You've been lying in bed for three days, it's normal that you can't speak now, drink some water first."

The boy drank some water with his hand, and his consciousness finally gradually recovered, and he was barely able to speak.

Liu Li said: "I didn't tell you about the suspended animation that day, because I was afraid that you would be afraid."

Zhao Xiaowu didn't make a sound when he heard the words, but just stared at Liu Li, as if he didn't recognize the person in front of him.Seeing this, Liu Li sighed, and stretched out his hand to rub the young man's smooth forehead for a moment, with a touch of tenderness and nostalgia in his fingers.

"I'm sorry, it won't be like this in the future." Liu Li said.

Zhao Xiaowu was silent for a moment, then said, "Just tell me next time."

"There won't be a next time. There are so many hidden guards around me, I can't let you take risks every time." Liu Li said.

The boy's voice was hoarse, but with a certain determination: "I'm not afraid."

Liu Li smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid it's okay."

Hearing the words, the young man stopped making a sound, and let Liu Li's fingers caress his face once and for all, as if he was also a little attached to this kind of caressing.

After a long time, the boy asked: "In the palace..."

"The imperial physician announced your death in front of everyone, and also said that you have His Majesty's dragon seed in your stomach. Those who should be unlucky will naturally be unlucky, but this has nothing to do with you." Liu Li said.

Zhao Xiaowu was a little dumbfounded when he heard the words, and couldn't help reaching out to touch his already hungry stomach, as if he was shocked by the fact that "there is His Majesty's dragon species in his stomach".

Seeing this, Liu Li smiled and said, "You've been pretending to be a woman for two months, so you're not really getting into the drama, are you?"

The young man hurriedly retorted: "How could it be? Your Majesty and I have never slept together."

"You're disappointed that you haven't slept?" Liu Li's expression darkened.

The young man didn't take it seriously, he took Liu Li's hand and said, "Hey, I'm hungry."

Liu Li's heart softened when he heard this, he pulled the boy up and helped him put on his clothes.Then he personally ordered the kitchen, cooked porridge and side dishes for the young man, and patiently ate with the young man.

In the guest house, a man wearing a cloak was led all the way to the front hall. The man's face was hidden in the hood, but his figure was tall and handsome.

Zhao Xun couldn't help being startled when he saw the person's attire, his heart beat a little faster for no reason, but when the other person took off his hood and showed his face, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

The person who came was Shen Xuan, not the person he thought.

Shen Xuan saw Zhao Xun's expression in his eyes, and couldn't help laughing: "Why is the third prince so disappointed when he sees me? But he sees me as someone else?"

"Master Shen, don't make fun of me." Zhao Xun smiled wryly.

Shen Xuan didn't continue this topic after hearing the words, but told Zhao Xun what he and Chen Ziming said that day, of course only the part related to Wang Jihai.

"Since Wang Jihai is a trustworthy person, we can rest assured that the Ministry of Rites will be in charge of Chunwei this time. After all, you also work in the Ministry of Rites, and many things are easy to take care of." Zhao Xun said.

"That's easy to say. Now that there is no one in the official department, Zheng Yukun should have no time to intervene in Chunwei's affairs. It's just that who will be the chief examiner is still a big problem." Shen Xuan said.

"According to Dayu's rules, all the students who enter the officialdom next spring will nominally be the examiners. If the examiners fall on the two assistant ministers, our work will be in vain," Zhao Xun said.

But who is more suitable to be the main examiner?

According to the previous rules, the main examiner needs to be finalized early, and then the main examiner must participate in Chunwei's writing of questions and preparations.However, this year, each of the six films recommended their principals to be jointly responsible for the preparations. The candidates for the chief examination have not yet been finalized due to unexplainable reasons.

The two auxiliary ministers naturally hoped to be able to get the limelight, but because of this, both of them failed to do so.Just looking for another more suitable person, even Li Yue couldn't think of it.

"The main exam can be put on hold for now. Pan Xingzhi and Zheng Yukun will still have to fight for a while. When they both lose, it's not too late for us to take advantage of it." Zhao Xun said.

Shen Xuan nodded and said: "Well, I can only take a step and watch."

Zhao Xun took out a letter that had already been written from the drawer, handed it to Shen Xuan, and said, "Master Shen, please give this to His Majesty, and ask him to confirm Wang Jihai who is in charge first, so that we can proceed with many details." .”

Shen Xuan took the letter and said with a smile: "The third prince won't go into the palace to see His Majesty? His Majesty has been ill recently..."

"Master Shen be careful." Zhao Xun said with a smile: "The future is long, why bother at this moment, it's getting late, if Lord Shen walks fast, there is still time to enter the palace."

Shen Xuan heard that he didn't want to stay any longer, so he got up and left.

After Shen Xuan left, Zhao Xun sat quietly in the room for a while, feeling somewhat melancholy for some reason.Although this guest house has been renovated, the living is clean and comfortable, but I always feel that something is missing.

It turned out that seeing each other in the palace every day didn't feel good, but now that they haven't seen each other for a few days, Zhao Xun felt empty in his heart.He didn't know when he became such a loving child, Li Yue, that guy, for some reason, just nestled in his heart and didn't want to go out.

Zhao Xun looked out the window and chuckled for a moment, he didn't know what to think of, but felt soft.

Shen Xuan handled things neatly, and entered the palace that day.

He handed the letter to Li Yue, and Li Yue knew that it was Zhao Xun's letter, so he couldn't wait to open it in front of Shen Xuan.

The envelope contained a list, all of which were marked, and there was also a short note, which was naturally written by Zhao Xun to Li Yue.

Li Yue opened the short note, looked carefully, and saw that it wrote:

"Everything is fine in the guest house. It's cold and cold in winter. The silver charcoal you entrusted to send through the hands of Mr. Shen has been received, and it is burning every day. Yesterday I suddenly dreamed of heavy snow in the north. I thought you had never seen it before. In the future I hope I can take you to see it. Every day someone tells me about everything in the palace. I am so relieved to know that you are well. It was very interesting to find something in the street that day. I will see you in the future and take a closer look. .”

There are only a few hundred words in the note, and there is no title or signature, but Li Yue couldn't help but read it several times, as if through the short hundred words, he had indirectly met the person who wrote the letter.

Seeing this, Shen Xuan couldn't help saying: "Hey, Your Majesty."

Li Yue was stunned, quickly recovered, and said, "Oh...how is it?"

Shen Xuan laughed: "Your Majesty and the Third Prince haven't seen each other for a few days? You really are thinking like crazy."

Li Yue folded the letter carefully, put it close to his body, and said: "Don't taunt me, sooner or later you will have this day."

He does not mean that.Shen Xuan was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, suddenly a shadow of a certain person appeared in his heart, every frown, smile, and every move of that person seemed to be engraved in his heart, and now thinking about it, it is extremely clear.

After Shen Xuan realized it, she was shocked, quickly shook her head, then poured herself a glass of water and downed it in one gulp.

Li Yue asked: "What's the situation? You have something to hide from me."

Shen Xuan hurriedly shook his head: "No!"

Li Yue smiled meaningfully and didn't ask any further questions.As if being pardoned, Shen Xuan told Li Yue everything about his meeting with Zhao Xun, and told him about Zhao Xun's plan.

"Hey, why did I become a sounding board, running back and forth from one end to the other." Shen Xuan said with emotion.

"Where have you been?" Li Yue asked.

"Prajna Temple, go see Chen Ziming." Shen Xuan said.

Li Yue didn't say anything when he heard the words, but Shen Xuan blushed with guilt.

The next day, Prince An entered the palace on the pretext of visiting a sick man, and Wang Jihai, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, came with him.Wang Jihai probably also knew that it was an urgent time, so he came here uninvited.

Since Li Yue believed that Wang Jihai was a trustworthy person, he had no doubts about the employer, and even told Wang Jihai the person who wanted to arrange to be in charge of Chunwei with the Ministry of Rites this time, and Wang Jihai agreed for a long time.

Prince An was a little suspicious, and wanted to test Wang Jihai with this matter, but he didn't expect that Wang Jihai showed his loyalty first, and he was very appreciative of Li Yue's proposal.

After all, this list was determined by Zhao Xun, Prince An and others after many discussions, and the details of these people were checked by Liu Li's people, so naturally there would be nothing wrong.

"Right now, there is only one thing that remains unresolved." Li Yue said.

"Your Majesty is talking about the examination of Chunwei, right?" Wang Jihai said.

Li Yue was relieved when he heard the words, and said: "That's right, I wonder if Wang Shangshu can be recommended by someone he likes?"

"This person needs to be highly respected, has both ability and integrity, and has a certain status in the court. If you look at the capital, it seems that only Pan Taibao and Zheng Taifu are suitable people." Wang Jihai said.

Prince An couldn't help but sneered and said, "What Wang Shangshu means is that the two auxiliary ministers are going to be the examiners?"

"No." Wang Jihai said.

"Then who else?" Prince An asked.

Wang Jihai said unhurriedly: "There is no suitable person in the court, but there may not be no one outside the capital. Your Majesty also has a gentleman. If this person comes to the capital to take office, his status will be no less than the two assistant ministers."

Li Yue suddenly realized when he heard the words, he had never thought of this matter.

Liu An, who is far away in Lizhou, has the official post of Grand Master. If Liu An returns to the imperial court, he is naturally the most suitable candidate.
