rebirth will be hard to find

Mrs. Cheng was quite frightened. After Cheng Zian repeatedly assured that His Majesty knew her identity a long time ago, and both of them were infatuated with her, Mrs. Cheng reluctantly accepted this fact.

For things like heart disease, you still have to figure it out for yourself. Maybe it only takes a moment, or maybe it will end in depression.Cheng Zian didn't think Mrs. Cheng couldn't overcome this hurdle, but for her, maybe it really took time to accept it.

Hurrying all the way back to Beijing, Cheng Zian was also in a state of embarrassment. After meeting Mrs. Cheng, his mood went through ups and downs again, and a trace of fatigue soon appeared on his face.

Mrs. Cheng has always been strict, but she is not a person who would criticize her children and grandchildren because of her own illness. Even Mrs. Cheng, the daughter-in-law, never asked her to accompany her to attend to her illness, and there were servants around her family.She drank the reconstituted medicine and saw the tired look on Cheng Zi'an's brow, and said, "Ah Jie was tired after rushing all the way back. Go back and rest. Grandma is fine here."

Cheng Zian stared at Mrs. Cheng for a while, seeing that the old man seemed to be in better spirits after talking to her, knowing that her illness was not in her body but in her heart, so she didn't force her, and bowed in a proper manner. Said: "Grandmother also rested earlier, A Jie left first."

Mrs. Cheng waved her hand, signaling her to go back.

Mrs. Cheng sent Cheng Zian outside the courtyard gate, with a troubled look on her face, as if she hesitated to speak.But in the end, she didn't say anything after all. She just said: "You have been away from home for a long time. Although the house has been cleaned by people, it has been vacant for too long. You should go back and have a look. If there is anything inappropriate, let someone Clean it up carefully."

Cheng Zian agreed, and saw that Mrs. Cheng didn't say anything, so she left.

In fact, she knew what Mrs. Cheng wanted to say.Regardless of her status as a woman, even if she was a man, Mrs. Cheng did not want her to have anything to do with the emperor.After all, the king's heart is unpredictable. Now that they are in love with each other, it is naturally very good, but once Chu Yi changes his mind, what awaits her may be eternal... But so what?She can't just let people go because of these worries.

Cheng Zian's yard is neither far nor close to Mrs. Cheng's place, and when she got there, she had already put those messy thoughts behind her.She had been away for more than half a year, and the house was just as Mrs. Cheng said, it had been cleaned all the time, and there was nothing wrong with it except that it had been unoccupied for a long time and became less popular.

Without further fuss, Cheng Zian asked someone to bring hot water, and after taking a bath, he took a rest early.

The next few days were really rare leisure for Cheng Zian.Her official career was probably ruined because of Cheng Qian, but also because of Cheng Qian's betrayal, she didn't need to bear the future of the Cheng family.Studying and practicing martial arts, no one is forcing her, she just needs to do things according to her own preferences.Although she still didn't let go of these things, maybe her mood was different, and she felt extraordinarily relaxed.

After four or five days like this, she received a greeting card.

The post was sent by Li Lin, saying that a group of friends in Beijing heard that she was back, and they were going to hold a banquet in Zuixian Tower to welcome her.

Cheng Zian looked at the greeting post with mixed emotions.She did make some friends in the capital in the early years, and Li Lin was one of them, but after entering the palace as an accompanying student, she did not get together with friends outside the palace, and she became a little strange, and only Li Lin In the past two years, Lin's relationship with her has become better and better.She knows that the news about Cheng Qian has not been reported back to the capital for the time being, and she is considered to have a bright future in the eyes of everyone, so there will still be people who want to make friends with her. How many of those people are left.

After thinking about it, Li Lin invited her, so she would naturally go.

In the past two days, the spirit of the old lady has gradually improved. Although she still looks thin and thin, she is no longer the lifeless look that Cheng Zian saw when she came back.

Cheng Zian would visit her every day, so he talked to Mrs. Cheng about the invitation.Mrs. Cheng stopped holding her, and said: "Go, see who will go today, and who will be with you a month later, so that you can know who you can make friends with."

Cheng Zian agreed, then went back and changed into a sky blue brocade robe, and Shi Shiran went out to the banquet.

*******************************************************************************

In the past six months, Li Lin's capital city has been in full swing, and there is an endless stream of fawning people.

When Cheng Zian left Beijing, he was just a low-level official in the Ministry of Industry, but now he has been promoted to be the chief.Although he is only at the sixth rank, this speed of promotion is also appalling. Moreover, since he became an official, he was first recommended by Chu Yi, and then experienced life and death with Chu Yi. Coupled with the two years of companionship, no one doubts his future. His official career went well.

There are quite a few people who fawn over Li Lin, but he is not stupid, he doesn't make friends with everyone. Today he invited Cheng Zian to clean up the dust for her, so he just invited two old friends from the past to have a small gathering.

News in the capital spread quickly, and the news of Cheng Zian's return to Beijing because of his grandmother's illness naturally spread quickly.Although everyone didn't know how she was doing at the border, but because she and Li Lin were Chu Yi's companions for more than two years, it was worth making friends.

So not too many people came this day, but not too few, all the people Li Lin invited were present, and a dozen or so family members occupied a box in Zuixian Tower, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing were very lively.

During the dinner, Li Lin stared at Cheng Zian for a long time, then sighed and said, "I heard that the wind, sand, and sun are poisonous in Beizhou. I thought you went there once, and when you came back, your face must be dark and rough. Why is it still like this?" It looks like thin skin and tender meat?"

Seeing Li Lin's disappointed look, Cheng Zian felt dumbfounded.Someone still laughed and said, "Zi'an don't want to talk to him, he's just jealous. He worked as a supervisor for a few months in Dashui, Qizhou last year. When he came back, he was as black as carbon, and he didn't have the face to go out. You see, it took a whole winter to raise it and it finally came back.”

The children of the aristocratic family value style, and Cheng Zian thought it was a little funny when he thought of Li Lin's dark face in brocade clothes.

Li Lin didn't deny anything, and scolded with a smile: "It's just you who haven't endured hardships and are still in the mood to make fun of me. I really want you to try it. I'm afraid everyone will cry. Where is it?" It’s all over after tanning? When I first went, I just went for a walk on the levee every day, and within a few days, I got tanned and peeled off, and my whole face was hot and painful at night.” After saying that, he sighed: "Earlier, Your Majesty said that Zi'an was born with a natural tan, but I didn't expect it to be true. It's really enviable."

Everyone chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere gradually became lively.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone is a little bit smoky.Li Lin patted Cheng Zian's shoulder suddenly, and said to her: "Go, let's go to the window and blow some air to sober up."

Cheng Zian glanced at the table, and after drinking, the topics of the people became more and more chaotic, the focus was no longer on the two of them, and no one looked at them at this time.So she nodded, stood up and walked to the open window with Li Lin.

Li Lin leaned against the window, glanced back at the still lively banquet, and asked in a low voice: "Zian, when will Your Majesty come back?"

Since Li Lin called her over, Cheng Zian knew that he had something to say to her, and he didn't hide it when he heard the words, so he said: "The peace talks will be in these days, maybe now that the letter of credence has been signed, Your Majesty should be very happy." Will be back soon."

Li Lin frowned slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking, but he didn't speak for a while.

Cheng Zian has known him for many years, and seeing him like this, he knew that there was something in his mind that he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?"

Li Lin looked up at the crowd again, then looked back at the bustling street outside the window, and finally said: "Recently, the atmosphere in the capital seems to be a bit wrong. My rank is too low, and there are limited things I can know. But listen My father said that recently those vassal kings who stayed in Beijing have made close contacts, and I always feel that something is about to happen."

Both Cheng Zian and Li Lin had experienced several assassinations together with Chu Yi, and Li Lin had even seen Yue Wang's desire to commit suicide, so he naturally had some experience of the harm of those vassal kings in the court.Chu Yi's label had long been attached to them. Not to mention that Cheng Zian must have lived and died with Chu Yi, even Li Lin couldn't be alone, so he was extra sensitive about these matters.

This is not a trivial matter. Although Cheng Zian's expression did not change, his heart became serious: "The battle of Yan Kingdom came at an inopportune time. His Majesty has been away from the capital for a long time, and I am afraid that these vassal kings may take advantage of it." She After thinking about it, he asked Li Lin, "Is there any change in the army in Beijing?"

Literati rebellion will fail in ten years.What's more, Chu Yi has just retreated from the Yan army to take over the lost land, so his reputation will inevitably rise, and the people's will cannot be shaken.Then, apart from using some secret methods such as assassination and poisoning, whether it is to raise troops to rebel or force the palace to usurp the throne, the army must always be used.

Since ancient times, military power has always been particularly important.

Li Lin shook his head slightly: "The Longsu Camp is in charge of Beijing Central Defense. That man Qin Ming rarely interacts with others. I'm not familiar with him, but my father said he is a trustworthy person." He paused after speaking, He said again: "I can't get involved in Daying on the outskirts of Beijing, and I can't find any news, but I haven't heard from my father that there is any change."

In fact, regardless of Longsu Camp or Beijing Suburb Day Camp, those people who had abnormalities in their previous lives were all taken away by Chu Yi to the border, and then controlled.But of course she couldn't tell others about these things, so even Cheng Zian didn't know about it.

Li Lin wasn't very sure, but he couldn't blame him. After all, their generation was still immature and hadn't grown up yet, so they could only rely on the family.What's more, the Li family has been rooted in the Ministry of Industry for generations, and has never touched the army.

Cheng Zian thought for a while, and decided to go back and ask his grandmother——Although the Cheng family fell, the relationship network of the Cheng family in the military back then can also be said to be intricate. There is Qiyang and Lu Heng at the border, and there will never be no old stories in Beijing and China. .
