Someone always wants me to be a courtier [Rebirth]

The northwest corner of Jinling.

Unlike the bustling and affluent across the street, walking down a hundred steps from the busy city, there are suddenly fewer people.

A few pedestrians in low-key clothes hurriedly appeared on the long and narrow path, and disappeared in an instant.

A small courtyard was abruptly built in the depths of the alley, and a few green bamboos were hastily planted at the entrance, swaying with the wind at dusk, against the slightly darkened sky, showing a bit of untimely decay.

Ren Huan got out of the carriage, waved his hand backwards to signal his servant not to follow, looked up at the direction of the small courtyard, pressed down the brim of his hat, and walked quickly.

There was still a distance of three zhang from the gate of the small courtyard, Ren Huan frowned, and felt a few cold murderous intentions enveloped all directions, and the people who were pressed could not breathe, and their backs felt cold.

With a pause in his footsteps, the token in his sleeve was drawn into his palm, and he shook it towards the dark place.

In the boy's white palm lay a bronze-colored object with a simple and simple style, and the word "Xiang" could be vaguely seen on it.

The person hiding in the dark was originally full of murderous aura, but after seeing the token, he was silent for a moment and then disappeared completely, still hiding in a corner invisible to ordinary people.

The door rang three times, and there was a gap between the two closed wooden doors. The old man with cloudy eyes looked at Ren Huan outside the door, and widened the small gap to allow people to walk sideways. the point.

There was something in his heart, Ren Huan couldn't be picky, and walked sideways to get a glimpse of the whole courtyard.

Even though I was prepared in my heart, I was still shocked when I saw it with my own eyes. There is a universe in the seemingly small courtyard, not only three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, but also the air is smearingly cold. But for a moment, I felt unbearable.

It's hard to imagine anyone could endure such a suffocating atmosphere for long.

As if knowing his purpose, the old man turned around and led the way, heading deep into the small courtyard.

Turning and turning all the way, he finally arrived at a secluded place. The guards who didn't want money seemed to have all disappeared. The old man took a deep look at Ren Huan and whispered his instructions. "The guards here change every half an hour, and the prince must come out within a moment."

Ren Huan nodded, he didn't care about thanking him, and walked forward a few steps.

The door was pushed open.

There was no sunlight in the dark room all year round, Xie Qi suddenly saw the light in front of his eyes, and blindfolded his eyes unaccustomed.

He hadn't figured out who would come to see him, but he vaguely saw that the person who came came stopped in his footsteps and let out a low cry that seemed unbelievable.

The voice seemed somewhat familiar.

It seems to be heard often, and it's not as familiar as Yun Shuyun, who can clearly recognize a word.

Before he could think about it, the visitor seemed to have finally come to his senses, moved his feet, and walked to his side, his voice choked up.

"Your Majesty?" In the end, the relationship between the teenagers is still there. Although it was expected, it is still difficult to accept this sudden situation.

Xie Xuan did not treat Xie Qi very harshly, but he didn't mean to treat him preferentially, there was nothing he should have, but the small room where people turned around was dark and dusty.

"Ren Huan?" His eyes finally adapted to the outside light, Xie Qi barely recognized the person coming, twitched the corners of his mouth, and forced himself to sit up from the corner of the wall.

Before the other party could respond, he imagined his embarrassing appearance, subconsciously straightened his half-new robes, and then said, "What are you doing here?"

Want to see a joke?

Even if he is very clear in his heart, the place where Xie Xuan imprisoned him must be tightly guarded. Except for Xie Xuan himself, no matter who came here, he must have exhausted his efforts.

But so what?

It was he who overestimated his endurance. He thought he could endure, wait, maintain a basic demeanor in a dark cage, keep the altar clear during the long night, and wait for things to turn around.

But when he was really locked in, the sunrise and sunset in Jinling City, and the grand court meeting in the Xuanzheng Hall, he really had nothing to do with him anymore.

On the 27th, the moon in the sky turned from profit to loss, and the next cycle started again, like a future that he could not see the end of.

Involuntarily, I want to vent my anger.

I want to have a knife in my hand, I want to see blood with the blade, I want to have a command from my mouth, and lay down millions of corpses.

A flood of emotions filled his mind, even he couldn't distinguish clearly.

Ren Huan looked in from the outside, he could only see the thick dust in the house being rolled up by the autumn wind, but he couldn't see the crazy confusion in Xie Qi's eyes.

After thinking for a moment, it was very difficult to speak; "The minister came to discuss with His Majesty... how to take His Majesty out."

The human voice that I hadn't heard for a long time came to my ears for the second time, Xie Qi took off his hands from his eyes, and looked at Ren Huan seriously.

Although the city of Jinling was destroyed, the Xie family was still in charge, so the sons of a family like Ren Huan who had been related to the Xie family for three generations were naturally not affected.As in the past, she was still wearing a brocade robe and a jade belt around her waist, and even the flirtatious look on the corners of her eyebrows and eyes hadn't changed at all.

The suppressed emotions tended to revive again, Xie Qi said mockingly; "How do I remember that it was your son Ren's father, Hou Renqi of Xiangyang, who opened the gate of Jinling?"

As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and he laughed out loud as if he had suddenly realized something, which was clearly audible in the dark room; "Yes, you were late for the morning class in the heavy snow that day, and even if you tried to offend the lecturer, you had to mention it to me." As for the matter of King De, and the fact that Princess De led me to go to the summer resort when she was going to make trouble at the summer resort... I didn't think much of it at the time. Thinking about it now, firstly, it was to provoke the relationship between me and Prime Minister Su, and secondly, my father might have already There must be a secret collusion with King De."

Many small things in the past seemed to be tangled into a net, and finally found the center.

Ren Huan's scalp was numb from his sharp gaze, no matter what the other party said was irrefutable, seeing that the sky was getting darker, he braced himself to avoid answering, and repeated his intention again: " This matter was done by my father, I don't know anything about it. I came here this time on the order of my mother to discuss with His Majesty about going out of Beijing."

Mother?

Xie Qi was stunned for a moment before he understood: "Aunt He Sheng?"

Ren Huan's mother is Princess He Shengda, the jewel in Ruizong's favor in the past, and she married the Marquis of Xiangyang when she was young. Although they haven't heard the couple singing in harmony for so many years, they live in peace.

What's more, in Xie Qi's impression, this aunt is not close to him.

Naturally, it's not too close to Xie Xuan.

Just as he couldn't figure out why this guy would make a cross, Ren Huan nodded solemnly.

"Mu Zong died suddenly without a will. His majesty is the oldest heir of the emperor in Beijing. It is a matter of course to inherit the throne. King De's reason for raising troops is not right. The clan...my mother still regards your majesty as orthodox, so she made this move."

Reasonable words rang in his ears, but Xie Qi closed his eyes, not being dazed by the good news that fell from the sky.

What's the use of seeing him as orthodox with Princess Shengda?

Although he is the most senior person in the clan today, he has no real power in his hands, at most he can control the small matters in his own fiefdom or use the name of the princess to make conveniences in Jinling.

Even if they made up their minds to help him, at most they could only protect him and escape from Jinling. What will happen in the future, the mountains and rivers will make their own destiny.

If he stayed here, Xie Xuan would not worry about his reputation, but he could still save his life.And as long as he leaves, he must face Xie Xuan's endless pursuit.

This is a dead end.

And the best way to break the situation is to walk out of this small courtyard openly and stay in Jinling openly.

Avoiding Ren Huan's hopeful gaze, Xie Qi pretended to ask casually; "How is Prime Minister Su?"

It had been almost a month, and he hadn't heard anything about that person, and he had nowhere to place his worries.

Subconsciously, he knew that Su Yanzhao was fine, but he couldn't bear to think, when that person received the news that Jinling had fallen and was freed from Jiaozhou, would he come to rescue him?

Afraid of what would happen, Ren Huan hesitated for a moment before saying, "His Royal Highness Xu Suxiang originally kept everything unchanged, and added the position of privy envoy to take charge of military power. Su Xiang rejected the position of privy envoy and left the military talisman. We are on our way back to court."

No difference as expected.

That's fine too.

Xie Qi's expression didn't fluctuate, he just responded in a low voice when he heard the words, and Quan responded.

"What did the minister say before?" Seeing that Xie Qi's interest was lacking, Ren Huan frowned, and wanted to persuade him again.

Two sounds of "Du Du" came suddenly from outside the door. It was so fast that no one could ignore it.

The long speech came to an abrupt end, Ren Huanmeng took two steps forward, and whispered in Xie Qi's ear.

"When does Your Majesty want to go out, just don't have dinner on the fifth day of every month. After that, I will find a way to tell you how to behave. I will resign."

As soon as the words fell, the sound of breathing was still lingering in his ears, but the young man who had just spoken just flicked his sleeves and walked away. Xie Qi looked at the wooden door that opened and closed a few steps away, and fell into deep thought.

"Every Friday..."
