minister guilty

The journey was safe. After returning to the capital, the two went directly to the palace to face the saint. They reported everything they had to say, and kept silent about what needed to be concealed. Shen Yizhang knew that they were very angry after encountering bandits in Fenggu, and rewarded them a lot Things go down to appease people.

Because of this, Yan Yueqing still had half a month to recuperate, but the wound on his hand had already scabbed over. With Shen Lichen changing his dressing every day and taking care of him carefully, how could he not heal quickly.

After returning to the mansion, it was evening, Yan Yueqing jumped out of the carriage and suddenly saw a familiar figure at the gate of the Yan mansion. After being slightly startled, she suddenly remembered that she was the one who wrote a letter asking her to come back to visit A ​​Niang.

"Brother Yueqing." An Le smiled sweetly, as if she was still the well-behaved and sensible sister back then.

Yan Yueqing nodded, feeling quite relieved, "An Le is back."

Su Wanzhou also came out of the mansion at this time, with a very anxious expression on her face, walked up to Yan Wenbai and Yan Yueqing, looked at them carefully, and almost cried: "Anle has been with me all these days when you left, Today the emperor rewarded a lot of things, I heard they said that you encountered bandits on the road."

"Almost fell into the cliff, and Yueqing's hand was also badly injured. Show me quickly."

Yan Yueqing looked at Yan Wenbai as if asking for help, Yan Wenbai immediately coughed lightly, "Madam, let me tell you slowly when we return home, since we have returned safely, don't be too anxious." Yan Wenbai After finishing speaking, she took Su Wanzhou's hand, "Yes, you guys rest first when you go back, and tell me slowly tomorrow."

But after all, he still didn't wait until tomorrow, that night, Yan Wenbai lit a candle, and talked to Su Wanzhou for a long time, until Su Wanzhou fell asleep on his lap and had no choice but to give up.

In the next few days, Su Wanzhou made "pig's trotter soup" for Yan Yueqing in different ways, nicknamed "Where you eat, you can make up for it", which caused Yan Yueqing to look at his hands from time to time, deeply suspicious.

An Le bid farewell to Su Wanzhou within a few days, saying that she would come back to accompany her after a while. In fact, Yan Yueqing knew that An Le was afraid that he would think of Shen Wenxuan when he looked at her. In fact, Yan Yueqing was relieved to be able to write to her and ask her to come back often.

"Come back and have a look when you have time, Yan Mansion will always have your place." Yan Yueqing sent An Le to the carriage and smiled at her.

With red eyes, An Le nodded heavily, "Brother Yueqing, thank you."

"No thanks, who told you that you are my sister."

An Le also smiled, Yan Yueqing watched the carriage drift away, he didn't want to regret how long a life can be.

Time flies, and the capital city has been getting colder and colder recently. Yesterday, a heavy snowfall directly entered winter, and Yan Yueqing's nose would be blown red by the cold wind every day. The capital city is already so cold, it must be colder, Yan Yue early in the morning I wrote the brochure and asked Shen Yizhang to send it to Shen Lichen as soon as possible for the military supplies for the winter. Shen Lichen hadn't written a letter for some time, and I don't know if each of them has received a cotton coat.

It's been really cold this year.

It was Shen Wenxuan's birthday recently, and he should have acted in a low-key manner, but he decided to do the opposite. He sent invitations to many ministers in the court. It seemed that he wanted to do it for everyone to know. Yan Yueqing was no exception. He also received invitations. Invitations, if only one invitation was accepted, then Yan Yueqing would definitely not go to the appointment, but there was a letter following the invitation.

The letter only read: Mr. Yan, please be present and enjoy the show together.

Yan Yueqing didn't know what a good show was, but only knew that what Shen Wenxuan said was definitely not a good thing, the emperor Shen Yizhang never went to the court as soon as winter entered, and now the person in charge of the country is Yan Wenbai, but many ministers in the court are acting against the wind They turned to Shen Wenxuan one after another, Yan Yueqing guessed that Shen Wenxuan held the birthday party to frighten his subjects, and to show the world that he is the best candidate for the throne.

If he was a little restrained before, then now he is tearing out his heart and exposing it completely in front of everyone.

Yan Yueqing thought about it for several days, and finally decided that he should go.

That day the wind and snow never stopped, Yan Yueqing was still trembling in the carriage with several Tang ladies in his pocket, but luckily the distance was not far, Yan Yueqing arrived soon, and bumped into an acquaintance at the gate of Shen Wenxuan's mansion.

Yan Yueqing has never seen Qiran since General Qi was buried, and when he saw him again, he found that the boy he once was was no longer there. He was such an arrogant and playful person, but now he had no expression on his face, as if he had only an empty skin.

"Qi Ran." Yan Yueqing didn't have any intention of mocking him, but just called softly, Qi Ran looked over slightly, his eyes looked very empty, Yan Yueqing was startled, "Long time no see."

"Master Yan." Qi Ran cupped his hands respectfully and said, Yan Yueqing was stunned, but soon recovered, "Let's go in together!"

Qi Ran didn't answer, the two walked one after the other, Yan Yueqing was in front and Qi Ran was behind.

Yan Yueqing felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.

The banquet was originally going to be held in the courtyard, but it was snowing and had to be moved inside the house, where rows of people sat below, Shen Wenxuan was in a high position, it really looked a bit like the palace banquet of the emperor Shen Yizhang.

Yan Yueqing noticed Shen Wenxuan's gaze as soon as he entered, and he refused to move away until he was seated. Yan Yueqing didn't bother to pay attention, but felt that it was much better to enter the house in the cold outside, and Qi Ran was sitting opposite Yan Yueqing. It can be seen that many people came one after another, and the seats were soon filled. Seeing this, Shen Wenxuan announced the start of the banquet.

In an instant, many dancers poured in from outside the house, their bodies were only covered with a few thin pieces of cloth, their outlines were faintly visible, Yan Yueqing couldn't help shivering when she saw them, their lips were purple from the cold, but they still wanted to smile flatteringly, Being careful and not daring to make any mistakes, the court minister thought it was wonderful, and started to clap his hands, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the dancing girl, without hesitation.

Yan Yueqing could see that the youngest of the dancers was only fourteen or fifteen years old, so she couldn't bear to watch and lowered her head.

"Master Yan, do you feel that they danced poorly?" Shen Wenxuan suddenly uttered a voice, which made the dancers stop immediately and kneel down on the cold ground. They didn't wear much, and this made things worse.

Yan Yueqing was annoyed, maybe Shen Wenxuan would use him as an article about these dancing girls again, "No."

Shen Wenxuan showed a smile, but his voice was terribly cold, "It's not that they don't dance well, so why don't you watch it?" Yan Yueqing could only reply in her own way: "It's just that the weather is too cold, and they are dressed so thinly. It’s just that I can’t bear it, it’s not that they dance badly.”

"But I think most people are fascinated by watching it." Shen Wenxuan's smile widened, and the dancers lowered their heads, not daring to vent their breath, for fear of offending Shen Wenxuan.

"Yes, Master Yan is so rigid at such a young age, I really can't see it."

"Today is the fourth prince's birthday. What's wrong with them dancing a few dances as dancers? I think they don't want to wear them at all. The people present are all princes and nobles. If they hook up with one at random, they will live comfortably in the next life. These prostitutes are pure and noble on the surface, but in fact they are extremely dissolute inside."

Yan Yueqing suddenly felt disgusted, he looked at the person who said this, it turned out to be Lang Yuanjin, the person Shen Wenxuan used best after Qi Ran, but unfortunately he didn't know it, Yan Yueqing knew that the world was unfair, some people were like Shen Wenxuan Birth is full of beauty, but some people, like the dancing girl kneeling on the ground trembling at the moment, have a life like nothing.

In the final analysis, he and Shen Wenxuan are the same, since he was a child, he was well-clothed and well-fed and didn't know the sufferings of the world, but it seems to be different, because he is more caring than Shen Wenxuan, and will love others.

"Keep dancing." Lang Yuanjin yelled two words for Shen Wenxuan. Before the words landed, the dancers stood up again, not daring to delay for a moment. The melodious tune played again, and the dancers danced like puppets. But it didn't take long for the youngest girl among them to be unable to hold on, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she looked at Shen Wenxuan who was in a high position in fear. Seeing this, the other dancers knelt down one after another, not daring to speak out, only hoping that Shen Wenxuan would spare their lives.

I saw Shen Wenxuan looking at the youngest dancer, with a smile on his face, but the words he uttered were heartbreaking, "Stand dead."
