After hesitating again and again, Lou Chen finally put his hand on the top of Gao Yu's head, and rubbed his slightly callused palm gently: "Don't be afraid."

Lou Chen's voice was very soft and even had the hoarseness characteristic of the juvenile voice-changing period, but it was such a whisper that could not be called clear, but it seemed to have magical powers, instantly calming Gao Yu's restless heart.

Gao Yu has been in a state of anxiety these days, and has always wanted to find someone he can confide in and rely on. He wants to vent out his worries and doubts, so that the wandering duckweed can find support.

But this is easy to say, as a prince, how easy is it to find someone who can be trusted wholeheartedly in the deep palace?

Father and concubine are not good, mother and concubine are not good, and the emperor's uncle is not good, even Lin Shuxian, who has always been by his side, is quite taboo, until today when he met Lou Chen...

It's also mysterious to say, Gao Yu doesn't know why, from the first time he saw Lou Chen with an inexplicable sense of familiarity, he felt from the bottom of his heart that the person in front of him was the most important person in his life other than his mother and concubine. People are worthy of his life, worthy of all his trust.

There are thousands of obstacles on the way forward, and this person will always be by his side to protect him.Just like the time when the horse was startled, all the panic and confusion disappeared as soon as he heard Lou Chen's voice.

Pressing his cheek against Lou Chen's chest, listening to his steady heartbeat, Gao Yu's inner emptiness seemed to be settled, he no longer hesitated, nor was he helpless.

Just buried his head in Lou Chen's chest. After a while, Gao Yu calmed down, sniffed, and said a little shyly, "Ah Chen, I'm so sorry to make you laugh."

"It's okay, Your Highness once said that we will be like brothers in the future?" Lou Chen looked at the young man tenderly, "It's a pity that Lou Chen's position is so low that he can't share His Highness' worries."

Although Lou Chen's words were a bit over the top, they calmed Gao Yu's uneasy heart very well.

Gao Yu smiled, with tears still in his eyes, but his heart was no longer clouded with gloom: "This is good, thank you, Ah Chen."

After crying and laughing, Gao Yu's mood became much more comfortable, the boulder was removed by half, and he was finally able to let out a sigh of relief and no longer frown.

After finally being able to get along with Lou Chen alone, Gao Yu naturally seized the opportunity, pouring out what should be said and what should not be said, what should be asked and what should not be asked.

Rubbing his still red eyes, Gao Yu straightened up, looked up at Lou Chen, and asked, "But... Ah Chen, what do you think people live for?"

"For what?" Lou Chen also wanted to ask himself, but there are too many things for people in the two lives. After thinking about it, Lou Chen couldn't think of a reason, so he just smiled and said, "Probably to live happily. , live freely."

"Really?" Gao Yu smiled shyly when he heard the words, "Ah Chen, to tell you the truth, in fact, I didn't have much ambition, I just wanted to grow up safely, and then choose a place that wasn't too poor to do it. The 'King of the Mountain' would be fine. But after experiencing this incident, I realized that I was too naive. If it weren't for the protection of the father, the lives of the mother and the child in the womb would be in jeopardy."

"The noble concubine and empress have their own auspiciousness, so they will be safe and sound." Lou Chen comforted, "Besides, with His Majesty by his side, His Highness can rest assured."

"I can rest assured that my father is here, but to say something disrespectful, if my father is away for a day, who will protect us?" Gao Yu's face was calm, but under the calm surface, there were turbulent waves, "Ah Chen, In fact, I thought about it before, if my mother clan had the strength of Huainan Xie clan, wouldn't I have to worry about it all day long, and wouldn't I have to keep taboos for fear of causing trouble?"

Lou Chen frowned upon hearing this: "Your Highness..."

"Achen, listen to me, I'm not just thinking about it, but I really think that it's too cowardly for my mother and me to give in and make compromises all these years." Gao Yu raised her head, half-naively and half-sincerely, "The same It's the prince, why can the elder brother do whatever he wants, but I am always scrupulous? I have had enough these years, but I never complained because I was afraid that my mother and concubine would worry. The same way to deter all parties, so you don't have to be restrained by them, and the mother and concubine don't have to worry all the time?"

"However, I can only tell you these words. I have never blamed my mother. I just think that although birth cannot be changed, the future is in my own hands."

"Although I still don't understand what's going on in the court, I also know that if I have no support and no real power, I can only be bullied by others, just like the elder brother bullied me."

"Achen, I don't want to be bullied anymore..."

What Gao Yu needs at this moment is just an outlet to pour out the depression in his heart. Lou Chen doesn't need too many words, just listens quietly like this.

It wasn't until Gao Yu uttered the last sentence and exhaled freely that the stone in his heart was completely removed, and he smiled fondly.

After a while of venting, the number of guests downstairs began to increase. It was inevitable that there would be troubles caused by too many people, so Gao Yu could only leave first.

Before the carriage left, Gao Yu suddenly got out, looked at Lou Chen with big moist eyes without blinking for a while, and then asked softly: "Ah Chen, you won't tell others what you said today, right? "

Lou Chen was stunned, and then solemnly shook his head: "Naturally, he kept his mouth shut."

"I believe what Achen said." Gao Yu smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Well, it's a secret between you and me, you can't tell anyone, Achen, especially that little devil Gao Xian. "

Lou Chen nodded and agreed: "Yes."

With Lou Chen's promise, Gao Yu got into the carriage with satisfaction.

With a faint smile on the corner of Lou Chen's mouth, he stood quietly at the side, watching the carriage gradually go away, his heart was slightly turbulent, and he thought for himself.

Gao Yu finally grew up.

Once the desire for power takes root in his heart, it can never be eradicated. Although Gao Yu is young, he has already ignorantly understood the benefits of "power" and "interest".Born in the royal family, how can one be really naive and ignorant of worldly affairs, but it depends on whether one can keep the only piece of purity in one's heart.

Although the ancients had a saying, so when heaven will send a great mission to human beings, they must first suffer from their will, exhaust their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. Therefore, the heart and patience have benefited what they can't do. .

It's simple to say, but if you don't experience it yourself, it's hard to feel the pain on your skin.

However, Lou Chen didn't want Gao Yu to go through those pains again after reliving his life, and he didn't want him to become the suspicious and manipulative appearance in his previous life.

Otherwise, what's the point of his going back in time?

Lou Chen was disappointed. Gao Yu was his first responsibility in his life of wandering and wandering, and also his only hope in the darkness of the future that he couldn't see. He was willing to protect this hope that was still pure now, so that he could keep this beauty forever. .

As a king, Gao Yu never owed him, but he never fell in love with him.

It is impossible for the person above the throne to have sincerity. He was too naive back then, willing to exchange his sincerity for his sincerity.Now that the situation has changed, he has fully realized that he no longer sticks to those petty loves. Gao Yu may not be born suitable for the throne, but his talent and courage are enough to support him to become a generation of Mingjun.

In this life, Lou Chen only wants to be a loyal minister for the rest of his life and help Ming Jun ascend the throne.

With the sound of firecrackers saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new, big news came from Huainan just after the new year.

Gao Yunfei, the servant of the household department, did not know where to get an account book, which actually recorded the real accounts of Huainan's tax revenue in the past two or three years.

Using this account book, Gao Yunfei led the officials of the household department to check the old accounts of Huainan to the bottom. It was only then that everyone knew that not only this year, but three or four years ago, Huainan Road had started to lie. , Corrupt ink tax silver.

And this group of moths who are greedy for money and money, the boss on top is the deputy transfer envoy of Huainan Road-Xie Lingfei.

This Xie Lingfei is none other than Concubine Xie Defei's elder brother, the second son of the generation head of the Xie family in Huainan.

As for Yun Gaoyuan, who brought someone to copy his house, it was a coincidence that he was the uncle of the fourth prince.

The emperor's purpose of supporting the Yun family and suppressing the Xie family was obvious. Everyone in the court was in danger for a while, and the timid ones even asked for a few days off from the court, because they were afraid that the flames of war would spread to themselves.

However, the tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop, and Shande's cleansing in the early spring of the ninth year was only the beginning of the chaos in Nanliang.

Huainan, Xiejun government office.

The ancestor of the Xie family was a hussar general who fought together with the Tai | ancestor to fight for the world. After the founding of Nanliang, the Tai | .

The Xie family did not disappoint the royal family at the beginning. They were stationed in Huainan, resting in peace and keeping one side safe.

It can be said that the royal family's prestige in Nanliang is as deep as the Xie family's foundation in Huainan.But no matter how deep the foundation is, if it is intentional, it is not impossible to uproot it.

In the study, Mr. Xie Jun's fingers were trembling with anger: "All of you, you really have to piss me off to death, it's tax money, how dare you take it for yourself, how dare you!"

Duke Xie of this generation is over fifty years old. Although he was born in the Zanying family, he does not need to fight, but he still wakes up every morning to practice martial arts, so he is full of energy and bright eyes.On the other hand, the shivering elder son Xie Lingyun who was kneeling in front of him had black eyes and was depressed.

In fact, it is no wonder that he is so decadent. Ever since Gao Yunfei, the servant of the household department, brought a group of people to Huainan Road, he has not lived a stable day.

They were always on guard and careful everywhere, but they didn't want to let the wind leak and there was a leak, and the leak was not small. If he hadn't been clever enough to find out what was wrong and pushed his brother out, the entire Xie family might be in danger of being overthrown.

Thinking of this, Xie Lingyun was afraid for a while. There are still traces of the thousand-character blood book, but where did the account book recording Huainan's tax come from?

The author has something to say: Gao Yu: Ah Chen's embrace is so warm and comfortable...

Lou Chen: Your Highness, please respect yourself.

Gao Yu: It’s not heavy, it’s not heavy, I’m not heavy, Ah Chen has already hugged it anyway, let’s hug it again~~~

Lou Chen: How does it feel like being eaten tofu...
