diseased bone

He touched Feng Xie's face carelessly in the dark, and laughed haha: "That's right, it's this person."

"What are you messing around with?" Feng Xie felt a little helpless, but he still let him go, his heart softened, "How long have you had dinner? Do you want me to ask Miao Er to make some snacks for you... Well, where does the smell of alcohol come from?" Son?"

He had just entered the door, and the spring rain mixed with the smell of soil, so he didn't notice it, but now that he was getting close, with thin clothes and skin and flesh, he smelled the alcohol on the other party's body, and couldn't help frowning: "Who are you going to drink with today?" gone?"

But Chu Shao didn't answer. In the past, when he was waiting for him to come back, he was always very considerate. He either prepared the bath or made the bed. After Feng Xie returned to the mansion, he read some stories for him with his arms in his arms like when he was a child. Go to bed together again.Today he was uncharacteristically, he didn't even light the lamp, and leaned over to kiss him chaotically without saying a word.

Although the two expressed their affection for each other, they have been too familiar with each other since they were young, and they always feel a little embarrassed when they do these things.After the superficial kiss that day, Qiqi has turned into Liu Xiahui, and has never done anything beyond the rules.

Chu Shao seemed to have drunk too much, a little out of order, just knowing how to hold the back of his head and kiss him carelessly.Feng Xie frowned and locked the door with his backhand. Before it was locked, Chu Shao stepped forward and pressed him against the door frame.

The extremely high ponytail brushed against his face, the sleepiness just now seemed to be faking, Chu Shao easily grabbed his hand and pressed it on top of his head.

Feng Xie was so kissed that he couldn't breathe, and after struggling a few times, the other party let go, Chu Shao licked his lips, probed into his neck, and took a light bite.

"Hiss—" Feng Xie pretended to be angry, "Little brat, why are you still biting people?"

Chu Shao cuddled in his arms, her voice sounded sticky: "Brother was joking, I'm not only good at biting people."

Feng Xie didn't pay attention, and hugged the person who pressed him on the door frame. He hammered the other person's chest twice, only regretting that he stayed in the barracks for too short a time, and couldn't beat him: "You let me go!" Come down!"

"I don't," Chu Shao carried him all the way to the side of the couch, his eyes were shining like a wolf, "My brother told me to wait so long every day, I should be punished, I should be punished, let me think about how to punish you Woolen cloth?"

Feng Xie lay down on the couch. He was really tired from running around for days, so he didn't want to move any more, he just lazily said: "Bold! Dare to punish me for being disrespectful, drag me out and chop it up!"

"Who's delaying it? The minister is rebellious!" Chu Shao stretched out his hand to untie his robe, and said with a smile, "Now my brother is my little prisoner, let's capture him with nothing."

The two had been arguing for quite a while, Feng Xie's combed hair was in a mess, and his jacket was also in a mess. Just when he was in a state of confusion, he suddenly heard someone knock on the door three times hastily.

This is his secret signal to Qin Mu.

Besides, at this time, apart from urgent matters, how could he come to bother you so nonchalantly.

Chu Shao still didn't know why, Feng Xi gathered his robe with one hand, got up from the couch, and while looking for a comb to straighten his long hair, he calmed down his disordered breathing, and asked calmly: "Where are you going?" What's the matter?"

Outside the window, there was a lot of wind and rain, which seemed to be rare since the beginning of spring. Lightning illuminated the pitch-black room. Chu Shao sat on the couch without moving, but there was a flash of blankness on his face.

"Your Highness, Master Sang is in a hurry," Qin Mu said outside the door in a slightly hasty tone, "He said...he got very important news today, and he must present it to His Highness."

Court officials would pay close visits, so people would naturally be afraid of him, so when Sang Zhe and Zhou Lanmu came to find him, they always went through Qin Mu's single line, entering from the hidden side door of the Prince's Mansion, and they rarely met formally.Feng Xie straightened his collar, looked back at Chu Shao who was sitting behind him, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty: "Ah Shao... I have some urgent matters to deal with, if you are sleepy, you can go to bed first."

Usually at times like this, the other party would grab his sleeve and smack him stickily for a while, but today, Chu Shao just replied "OK" dully, and let him push the door away. .

The two met in the dark room of the study, and as soon as they met, he realized that Sang Zhe had come late at night, without even an umbrella, trembling and soaking wet: "Ah Zhe, you are in such a hurry, what happened? "

Before he could finish speaking, Sang Zhe raised his hands and knelt down, holding a small white kit in his hand, without any patterns, only a special smell.Sang Zhe was shivering from the cold, and his voice was also trembling: "Your Highness, Yunchuan got this thing from Chunfeng Tower tonight, and he didn't dare to delay, so he asked me to deliver it! Your Highness, please have a look."

Feng Xie's heart skipped a beat, he reached out to take the kit, and said, "What the hell is it, it's worth your trip..."

There was only one floating note in the bag, and Feng Xie unfolded it carefully, and after just looking at it, he froze in place.

What was written on the letterhead was clearly the reform regulations he had painstakingly listed!

This is nothing, what is even more frightening is that the date of signature on the letterhead is the second day of the first month!

On the second day of the first month... His regulations were only made public on the day of the Shangyuan Festival. In order to prevent someone from tampering, he was very careful before, and none of them were leaked.So who wrote this letter when there were more than ten days before the Shangyuan Festival?

Sang Zhe continued with an ugly face: "Your Highness, Qingyuan's reforms have been blocked everywhere. I don't know if this is a secret report! The Zhongyang nobles sold all their fields in advance, and the 'black gold' merchants also paid the last sum. It emptied the stock of black gold, but made the frontier prices rise frighteningly, and the people complained for a while. Before we thought it was too radical reform, now it seems that it seems..."

He blushed with excitement, knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Highness, Yun Chuan has already sent someone to investigate the spices in the kit. I think the source will be found in a few days... But the most important thing is that the government order is only you, The three of us, Yun Chuan and I, are familiar with it, and if it spreads out, there is no guarantee...the Prince’s Mansion will have detailed work!"

Careful work?Who will it be?

Everyone in the Prince's Mansion knows everything, and at least they have followed him for nearly ten years. If there is any doubt, he will not be so relieved.Other than Chu Shao, Qin Mu, Miaoer, and a few cleaning maids, most of the people who have access to his study room are illiterate.Thinking that a subtle operation was silently inserted into this, the troubles of the past few days surged up, and he felt like a stick in his throat.

"Let's look at the results of Yunchuan's investigation of the spice first," he heard his own voice, "I will pay attention to this matter, until there is sufficient evidence... don't mess around, what if it leaks, this reform is imperative, We can still do beautifully."

Qi Lang held a candlestick and walked all the way through the long, secret passage. Recently, there were too many miscellaneous things. He came to look for Wei Shuqing and almost didn't ask anyone to inform him.

Chu Shao was assassinated before Qingyuan's reform started, which greatly distracted Feng Xie, but even so, it still failed to stop his determination to reform.He came today to discuss Feng Xie's recent countermeasures with Wei Shuqing.

Unexpectedly, he heard a voice in front of the secret passage leading to the secret room under the enshrinement hall of Wei Mansion.

This secret way... Wei Shuqing actually has other guests!

Qi Lang just stretched out his hand, intending to knock on the door a few times, when he heard voices, he quickly blew out the candle, and removed the dark hole on the secret door.Wei Shuqing thought he had heard the voice, so he glanced at him, but remained calm, did not signal him to go out, and acquiesced to his observation.

The person standing with his back to him wore a very low-key black cloak, covering his head and face, covering his whole body. Even if he was walking on the street, no one would recognize who he was.

Wei Shuqing sat on the bench with an unfathomable expression on his face, and did not speak for a long time before he sighed: "...it's not easy to talk about stopping."

The man in black spoke, his voice sounded familiar: "...there are too many doubts about this matter, if you ignore it like this, what is the difference between me and them back then?"

"But the matter has come to this, how do we stop?" Wei Shuqing stood up pretending to be embarrassed, "The emperor is cruel and ruthless, how can Zhongyang nobles be dissatisfied every day?"

"The imperial city is heavily guarded, and the Xuanjian battalion is the only force. As long as there are no troops, nothing will happen." The man hurriedly said, "The rest of the matter can be discussed..."

Qi Lang was puzzled, since Wei Shuqing brought him into the secret room, he clearly trusted him, but when he said "the only force", he obviously didn't know about Beishanhai, Wei Shuqing didn't tell the whole story, so I don't know why because……

The man interjected: "Anyway, the soldier talisman of the imperial city is in my hands, nothing will happen."

The soldier talisman of the imperial city...is in his hand?

Qi Lang was terrified, and saw Wei Shuqing glanced in this direction, revealing a sly smile.He approached the man in black, said something, and the man in black obediently took off his hood. Just as he turned around and dropped the cloak in his hand casually, Qi Lang finally saw his face clearly.

That was... Chu Shao's face!

Chu Shao met Wei Shuqing for the first time when he was nine years old.

The fairy-like elder brother touched his head and then left. The emperor called him again, talking about trivial matters, such as rewarding the mansion for him, assigning a few female officials, and allowing him to practice martial arts with the noble children of Zhongyang. ,read.After thanking him ignorantly, he left. On the long, snow-covered road from Rising Dragon Palace to the palace gate, he met an uncle who was about 50 or [-] years old.

The snow was very thick, and the female officer behind him held an umbrella for him, allowing him to stumble along alone, and accidentally bumped into the uncle.The uncle also seemed to have a good temper, knelt down and patted his head, and said to the female officer behind him: "I have never seen this child before, who is the son of an adult?"

The female officer replied respectfully: "Hui Wei Gong, this is the son of King Lie, who was just brought into the palace by the emperor."

The uncle's eyes were originally gentle, but they suddenly changed after hearing these words. When he looked at him again, there was a bit of inexplicable meaning: "It's the child of King Lie and Princess Chuxi..."

He chuckled and said to him, "What's your name?"

Chu Shao replied honestly: "Chu Shao, Shao is the Shao of Shaohua."

Wei Shuqing showed a mocking smile: "Ah Shao... I am your father's brother, next time you see me, just call me uncle."

"Really?" Chu Shao smiled happily at him, showing two dimples, "Will uncle come to play with me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that it was inappropriate for him to do so, so he quickly suppressed his smile, pursed his lips, and put on the same indifferent expression as before: "Yes... I understand."

Naturally, the two couldn't meet openly. One day, he practiced martial arts in the martial arts field for a day. When he returned home in the evening, he was led to a remote restaurant by the female officer beside him.Sitting in the middle of the private room, Wei Shuqing held a jug of wine in his hand, and said to him gently: "Son, come, join me in toasting your father."

From the mouth of this "uncle" that day, he learned many things that he never knew.

For example, Feng Yu, the Qingyuan emperor, was not the candidate for the heir apparent, and he used many people in the process of trying to seize the heir.

One is Chu Qiu, the eldest daughter of King Lao Lie who is now posthumously titled "Mrs. Chunhua", and also his mother's sister.

Old Lie Wang had no children, and the eldest daughter fell in love with the sixth prince Feng Yu at first sight, so he had to do his best to help Feng Yu ascend to the throne.However, after Feng Yu was ordered to ascend the throne, the first thing he did was to secretly dispose of Mrs. Chunhua.

The second is his parents, Lie Wang and his wife.

Her mother, Chu Xi, was the younger sister of Mrs. Chunhua, and she fell in love with the former general Shen Wang, so the old king Lie also left this title to his son-in-law by the way.In the days when Feng Yu was fighting to the death with the other princes, Shen Wang's military power and the title of Prince who had accumulated prestige for many years helped him a lot.

Wei Shuqing also lamented that Feng Yu and him, Qi Zhao, Zhou Shengqian, and Shen Wang were all sworn brothers at the beginning, but the power was too hot, gradually obliterating the original friendship... The emperor ascended the throne and recovered the power that had been scattered everywhere. The life-and-death acquaintance when he was down and out, has now become a heart disease.

Zhou Shengqian has been outspoken since he was young, always thinking that with the friendship at the beginning, he can disregard death admonitions, and in the end he had to use suicide to save his family.Shen Wang felt that his meritorious deeds were high, so he asked for decree to leave Zhongyang early, and lived far away in the east into the clouds, and he did not return to the court for many years.

But the private soldiers of the Shen and Chu families who assisted Feng Yu when he ascended the throne, would not obey the orders of the other surnames.Mrs. Chunhua died early, and under the growing suspicion, Feng Yu finally laid hands on this brother who grew up with him.

Not even a crime is settled. In a battle, if you can't wait for reinforcements, you can only wait for death.

After King Lie died, the emperor had to pretend to appease his family.

I heard that the emperor didn't want to save Chu Shao's life, but he was taken into the palace because of his deep love for Mrs. Chunhua, Mrs. Chunhua's younger sister and Concubine Lie's last words before she died, and because he was young and ignorant.

Chu Shao was ignorant of this memory, but now that he learned the truth, his eyes were bleeding with hatred.

Parents spared no effort to pave the steps for the emperor to ascend the throne, but the emperor not only stepped on them, but also smashed their bones and trampled on their dignity.Those sacrifices that shed blood for him have been forgotten, and it is the truth in this world to repay kindness with revenge?

Wei Shuqing told him all this with all his heart and soul, and felt that if he didn't do anything, no matter how wise he was to protect himself, he would inevitably end up in the same fate.The two hit it off, and then there was this secret revenge that had been brewing for nearly a decade.

He has been teaching martial arts for several years, and he has excellent skills. He beat the aristocratic children who bullied him to his heart's content. In addition, Wei Shuqing unintentionally hinted that the "six evils of Zhongyang" obeyed him. That coincident meeting was just a part of the plan.

In order to protect himself, he approached the prince, tried to be cute, and bit by bit he wrested trust from the emperor's hand. He gained prestige, military power, the prince's wholehearted care, and the emperor's full trust.He has done so much, only to use their rewards to destroy everything they have one day, so that they can also taste the feeling of being separated from their relatives and having nothing.

But those feelings... the feelings that the person he called "brother" sincerely gave him had already exceeded the normal range and reached the edge of love|desire.

He went to the brothel with a few dandies in private, but he didn't do anything. He watched the group of young girls approaching with a lack of interest, and said some polite words.The girl's body climbed up to his like a water snake, soft and charming, with an intoxicating fragrance, and the red lips dropped a kiss on his cheek, but at such a charming moment, he suddenly shivered, making people vicious pushed away.

So weird.

It shouldn't be like this.

At that moment, he suddenly thought of Fengxie's embrace with the smell of sandalwood, the ice and snow atmosphere when he saw it for the first time, and then he couldn't wait to revisit it after only seeing each other for a few months... It was the only thing he could recall between life and death .

He grew up with him, and he forced himself to pretend to understand him, admire him, and follow him, but this feeling has changed over the years.

A fire that cannot be extinguished was lit.
