"Fourth son?"

Chu Shao put away the handkerchief in his hand, tried to yell, Zhou Lanmu let out a drowsy "Hmm", but didn't continue talking.

Only then did Chu Shao throw away the veil, turned around and extinguished the incense burner in the room that was slowly smoking, then turned around and neatly bandaged his right shoulder.

When applying the medicine for Zhou Lanmu just now, he mixed in a smell of "feng shui fragrance".

This feng shui incense is a secret medicine specially used for the interrogation of the royal family in Dayin.

This thing is precious, and the Prison Temple in the imperial city would not be used by anyone easily, it was given to him by Qi Lang today, he only wanted to use this to test him a long time ago, but due to Wei Shuqing's presence, he never found a chance.

People can lie, but things can't. Try it with this thing, at least half of your heart can be relieved.

Chu Shao picked him up and leaned against the bed, before he said, "Fourth Young Master, do you know where you are?"

"General Zhanlu's mansion," Zhou Lanmu half-closed his eyes, and replied in a calm tone, as if he was awake, "The mansion of General Chu Shao on the Great Seal."

"Then who am I?" Chu Shao looked at him with his chin resting, and asked with great interest.

"Of course it's the owner of the mansion." Zhou Lanmu said.

This thing works.

"What's your purpose in coming to Zhongyang?" Chu Shao twirled the tassel hanging from his waist, and asked lazily. His heart was also strange. After taking off a layer, the tassels are spotless, just like the ones just hung up.

"Save your life," Zhou Lanmu frowned, and replied softly, "I...I have nothing to do with my family. There is still a chance of life in Zhongyang. No... If you don't come, you will be assassinated by them sooner or later."

"Then let me ask you a few people, what is your impression of these people, and you have to answer me truthfully." Chu Shao nodded and raised his voice, "If you tell a lie, you know the consequences, huh?"

Zhou Lanmu nodded hesitantly: "...um."

Chu Shao asked, "How is Zhou Shengqian?"

"It's me...Father, I haven't seen him since I was born. In the Qingming Festival of the coming year, I will find a stick of incense on the grave to repay the kindness of birth. He was born but didn't raise him, and he caused trouble for me for no reason. The two owe each other the most." good."

"How about Uncle Wei?"

Zhou Lanmu shivered, his lips and teeth trembling a little: "He... means viciously, insisting that I have evil intentions, hiss—"

He gasped, and couldn't help touching his forearm. Chu Shao looked along and saw a scabbed iron mark on his forearm, which was very obvious on the white skin. It was really Bai Yuwei. flaw.

"Then, how about Qi Lang?"

"Young Master..." Zhou Lanmu shook his head, his brows and eyes were tightly frowned, "Young Master is a good man... I know he entrusted someone to save my life in prison, and I am so utterly grateful for this kindness... I must repay it -"

He was suddenly a little uneasy, his hands trembled violently, maybe because he thought of something terrible in the prison, Chu Shao quickly shook his hand, and it took him a long time to calm him down.He secretly sighed in his heart, this person is probably as Qi Lang thought, he has been raised in Zongzhou far away from the court, he is an innocent and kind person.

only……

His eyes darkened, and he suddenly lowered his voice: "Do you know... Crown Prince Chengyang of Great Yin?"

Zhou Lanmu was silent for a moment, then shook his head gently.

"Then do you know the people around him?"

Keep shaking your head.

Chu Shao breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that the effect of the medicine was about to wear off, he casually asked the last question: "According to what you see...how is Chu Shao?"

"He..." Zhou Lanmu seemed a little hesitant, and almost bit his tongue, "He..."

Chu Shao glanced at him suspiciously, but raised his voice slightly: "Tell me, what's wrong with him?"

His voice was undoubtedly a shock to Zhou Lanmu who was in a drowsy state. Zhou Lanmu trembled, his brows were tangled up, but he didn't know what he was struggling for. He bit his lips and didn't say a word.

Chu Shao said slowly: "Why don't you say it?"

Zhou Lanmu was still biting his lips, but the circles of his eyes were slightly red.

Although Feng Shui Xiang was prepared by illusionists, Qi Lang didn't give him much dose. If he was very determined, he could still bear it, but it was very painful.

So Chu Shao was even more puzzled: "You knew me before?"

Dou Da's cold sweat dripped down from the corner of his forehead, making his whole face wet. Zhou Lanmu's eyelashes kept trembling, but this time he finally couldn't hold back, and nodded slightly: "...Mmm."

Chu Shao was startled, subconsciously got up and took a step back, but almost fell over with the chair and the person, he murmured, "But why haven't I seen you before?"

"Yes, I've never seen it before..." Zhou Lanmu shook his head and nodded again. He didn't know what he wanted to say. Seeing that his face was flushed, Chu Shao tried his best to speak again, "In the 21st year of Qingyuan, I……"

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Shao asked forcefully.

"One day, I... must..." Zhou Lanmu showed that painful and struggling expression again, the veins on his forehead burst out, showing how much he didn't want to say, "Shao... I have to... personally—"

After he finished speaking, he clenched his teeth tightly and refused to say any more.Chu Shao simply sat in front of his bed, thinking in a daze: "You seem to be a few years older than me, could it be that I saw you when I was a child? But you haven't stayed in Zongzhou all the time and never returned to Zhongzhou Yang?"

Zhou Lanmu's voice was also very nice, like broken jade into a pot, calmly: "Yes, I have never returned to Zhongyang..."

Perhaps the effect of the medicine was about to run out, and he suddenly started talking incomprehensibly: "It's the third watch... Tonight there is no moon and no stars... It's a good day..."

Although Chu Shao wanted to know what he was talking about, but seeing that the effect of the medicine was about to run out this time, she might not be able to ask anything, so she could only sigh helplessly, and put him down on the bed again: "Forget it... hey By the way, I forgot to ask you, did you come to my mansion on purpose when you were assassinated yesterday?"

This time without struggling, Zhou Lanmu pulled his belt loosely with one hand, and replied in a light but firm tone: "...Well, before I die, I want to see you."

Chu Shao's brows twitched, she rubbed her chin and said suspiciously: "You really came here on purpose? But what are you looking for me for... Hey, don't sleep, Fourth Young Master!"

But Zhou Lanmu ignored him again, and fell into a drowsy sleep. Maybe it was just after the effect of the medicine, two or three drops of crystal clear tears came out of the corners of his eyes.

Chu Shao accidentally took out a handkerchief, trying to wipe away his tears, but he was distracted, wiped it a few times indiscriminately, and dropped the handkerchief into his arms with a flick of his hand.

He didn't dare to reach out to take it out, so he could only sit on the edge of the bed blankly, thinking hesitantly.

Logically speaking, Feng Shuixiang can't make mistakes, he must not have lied, according to what he said before, he must really have little relationship with the family, and has nothing to do with Dingfeng Chaos, and can even be used by Qi Lang.But the next few sentences-could it be that this person had some trouble with him in the past?But he never remembers meeting him...

The more Chu Shao thought about it, the more he had a headache, and finally got up and strode out of the room. When he was walking, he accidentally tripped over the threshold.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Zhou Lanmu suddenly opened his eyes, and took a sneak peek outside. He wanted to restrain himself, but in the end he couldn't help it, and covered his mouth with his hand and laughed loudly.

"Hahahahaha, this idiot is too easy to deceive...Yang Chun, did you see his expression just now?"

Lu Yangchun, who did not know when he appeared, lightly jumped down from the roof, and replied seriously: "I see, he seemed to be restless. After going out, he bumped into three guards and even a pillar."

"How about the guards in General Zhanlu's mansion? Did you get in smoothly?" Zhou Lanmu laughed enough, so he tried his best to support himself, trying to sit up, but the wound was involved, and the pain caused him to fall back down again.

"The guards in the General's Mansion are too loose." Lu Yangchun reached out his hand to take out some medicine from his pocket, and respectfully sprinkled some on Zhou Lanmu's exposed wound. "The guards are sparse and ordinary. Fang Ziyu doesn't know martial arts, and only Chu Shao himself is a master. This There are no dead spots in the garden, only the study room at the back mountain—if Chu Shao was in the mansion, he would have locked himself in this study room most of the time. When he was not in the mansion, Fang Ziyu would stay there all the time. I haven't found a chance yet. Go check it out, don’t know if there’s anything special there.”

"He didn't notice you just now?"

"According to his usual skills, he will definitely be able to find me, but he is so absorbed in talking to the young master that he is distracted." Lu Yangchun said, "When he is around in the future, I may not be able to follow the young master in time, young master. be careful."

"Don't worry." Zhou Lanmu nodded. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly coughed dryly, clutching his chest, and then coughed heavily. come over.

With trembling hands, he randomly took out a piece of handkerchief from his bosom, and hid it in front of his mouth. Lu Yangchun knelt down in front of his couch, and hurriedly said: "This is a relapse of an old problem. Young Master is not in the mansion, but you must take care of yourself. How else can we rest assured? Before I came, Miss Chun and Fu Rong told me a few words, thinking that I was worried, the prison is cold and cold, and the son's symptoms may be serious again... Fortunately, there is a way The imperial doctor is here, otherwise what should I do?"

He said a few words in Xu Xu, but no one answered, so he raised his head in doubt, and called again: "Young master?"

Zhou Lanmu was staring at the handkerchief in his hand - this handkerchief was used by Chu Shao to wipe his tears just now, and he touched it out in a hurry.Seeing him lost in thought, Lu Yangchun didn't dare to disturb him, so he had to lower his head again.

After a while, he heard Zhou Lanmu chuckle, flung the handkerchief lightly in front of him, and said in a rare indifferent tone: "This thing is too dirty, just take it and throw it away."
