The leaves are withered, and the new wind blows from the north.

After more than a month, the maidservant in Tsing Yi came to the hall to announce that Medicine Master Du had returned.Qin Zhao got up suddenly when he heard the words, his expression darkened, and he forced himself back to his seat.Chu Mingyun glanced at him, smiled inexplicably, and continued to peel the kumquats in his hand.

Not long after, Du Yue really walked to the door slowly.He felt uneasy, and became more uneasy when he saw Qin Zhao avoiding his eyes. After a long while, he said dryly, "I'm back."

Qin Zhao tilted his head slightly, unable to see his face clearly, and said nothing.

Chu Mingyun responded to him kindly, "Oh, you still remember to come back? Don't you stay with your cousin for a few more days?"

"I think so too," Du Yue walked in cheekily and sat down, "But I seem to be in the way there, Su Bai can even run errands faster than me."

For some people, like Du Yue, you really don't know whether he is out of his mind or too sincere.

Chu Mingyun ate the oranges, admiring Qin Zhao's gloomy complexion which became even uglier after more than a month.

Du Yue looked at Qin Zhao several times, and finally mustered up the courage to say, "Qin Zhao, I... I'm back."

Chu Mingyun's words that day still pierced his heart. Qin Zhao was not good at expressing himself, and now he was stuck in his throat. It took him a long time to open his mouth dryly: "Yes." After thinking about it, he added, "It's good to be back."

Du Yue was embarrassed, and didn't know what to say, turned his head and saw Chu Mingyun wiped his hands, got up and was about to go out, and a purple robe with diamond patterns was revealed.He was suddenly surprised, "Hey, when I came out, I saw that my cousin was also dressed like this."

"En." Chu Mingyun straightened his clothes, "Today is the winter solstice, and the dresses of civil and military leaders are the same."

"Ah?" Du Yue was stunned, "Chang'an eats dumplings so grandly?"

Chu Mingyun paused, and suppressed his distaste and glanced at Du Yue, "...the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven."

The winter solstice worships the sky, prays for good weather, and wishes for beautiful mountains and rivers.

In the Weiyang Palace, the ceremony and music were melodious, the banners were flying in the sky, and hundreds of officials stood in line, with Chu Mingyun and Su Shiyu as the leaders, bowed down and kowtowed.

Xia Shangshui respected blackness, Li Yanzhen wore pure black imperial clothes, ascended the altar to ascend the majesty, laid jade and silk, sang a song "Lai Yongyong", and stopped Susu, and eight people danced and prayed for blessings under the altar.

Chu Mingyun narrowed his eyes and saw that this school was solemn and solemn, and thought of what Su Xing said for no reason, wondering whether this peace and prosperity was really like a mirror in water, vulnerable to a single blow.

After the ceremony, there is a feast for all the ministers.The palace was magnificent, and the musicians and dancers stepped on the embroidered blankets and entered one by one. The singing and dancing were played, and Li Yanzhen waved her hand at the superior to say that today is the day's fun.

Chu Mingyun rested his chin on one hand, sipping the wine carelessly. He sat alone on the left side. Because of his usual hostility, few people dared to come forward to persuade him to drink. Compared with Su Shiyu who was being entangled repeatedly by the opposite side, he was happier and purer. Not a lot.

But in the middle of the banquet, someone came to disturb his cleanliness.Gong'e bowed and said in a low voice: "My mother invites you, and I hope that your lord will give me your face."

Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, "What if I say no?"

"This..." The other party didn't expect such an answer, so he could only say, "If your lord doesn't go, the slaves won't be able to reply, and I hope your lord will show your respect."

Chu Mingyun smiled indifferently, got up and followed her out of the hall without disturbing anyone.

Walking around all the way, behind the horizontal branches is the Taiye Pool, standing beside the long pool water is a woman in scarlet clothes, seeing him coming, she smiled, "I thought the Lord would not come."

Leading the way, Gong'e had already retreated consciously. At this time, most of the people gathered at the palace banquet, and there were only two of them left around Taiye Pond.Chu Mingyun bowed and said, "Miss Zhaoyi has invited you, how dare I not come, but I don't know what is the matter with you?"

Jiang Yuan looked at him and said, "It's nothing serious, but it's just a rare opportunity to meet your lord today, and I can't help it."

"Your Majesty, speak up."

Jiang Yuan turned her face away, looked at the few koi fish that were vaguely floating in the Taiye Pond, and said slowly, "Your Excellency is a general in the court, with a reputation that spreads far and wide, and he is the beloved man that many women secretly want in their boudoirs. No exception... It's a pity that now entering the palace, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to be with you in this life."

Chu Mingyun smiled lowly, "Your trick is a little old." He had used this trick on Su Shiyu half a year ago.

"What?" Jiang Yuan turned around in astonishment, but couldn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing," Chu Mingyun said, "Since there is no fate, why does the empress ask me to come here?"

She stepped forward to Chu Mingyun, "So it's... I can't help it."

Chu Mingyun looked down at her, and no one around simply gave up the respect, "Didn't you hear that I like masculinity now?"

Jiang Yuan lowered her head slightly, "Of course I heard about it, but the admiration cannot be easily dispelled."

Chu Mingyun laughed, pinched Jiang Yuan's chin and raised her face, lowered her voice and asked, "Then you want to have fun with me?"

He didn't miss the flash of panic in Jiang Yuan's eyes.She sank her fingernails into her palms, and forced herself to calmly meet those eyes, "My lord..."

"I did have some beauties in my house before, but they are different from you." Chu Mingyun interrupted her and let go of her hand.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly lowered her head and asked, "What's the difference?"

"They—" Chu Mingyun glanced at her, "They all have breasts."

"..." Jiang Yuan was stunned, then took a deep breath calmly, trying to calm down.

Chu Mingyun saluted calmly, "I will leave."

Jiang Yuan was startled when she heard the words, she didn't care much, and hurriedly stopped him, "Sir, stay!"

Chu Mingyun turned sideways to look at her, Jiang Yuan let go of his hand, took out a delicately embroidered sachet from his sleeve, and stuffed it into his hand, "I'm here today to give this sachet to your lord. "

"Can I not?" Chu Mingyun asked.

In the distance behind Chu Mingyun, there was a purple figure among the intertwined dead branches. The other party stopped for a moment, obviously seeing this place, and then left silently.Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, "I have my heart full, and I hope the lord will take care of it." No more words, she bowed to Chu Mingyun, turned around and left.

Chu Mingyun pinched the sachet, and it was quite heavy, so he opened it directly, and he saw a corner of copper under the spice cover.He stretched out his hand and took out a key that he didn't know what to use. After thinking about it for a while, he put the key back and casually threw the sachet into the pool.

Just listening to the sound of 'dong', the sachet sank to the bottom.

When Chu Mingyun returned to the palace, all the courtiers were already drunk, and Jiang Yuan also accompanied Li Yanzhen.He glanced casually, saw that the people around Su Shiyu had dispersed, turned around, walked over and sat down, "Master Su, can you have a few more drinks with me?"

Su Shiyu turned to look at him, not at all drunk, but he hesitated to speak.

"what happened?"

Su Shiyu lowered his voice, "You..."

The chief guard suddenly entered the hall, quickly walked through the courtiers and knelt down in the hall, "Your Majesty, Tianlu Pavilion has been stolen!"

The courtiers suddenly woke up a lot, but Li Yanzhen propped her forehead, still unable to respond and asked: "What's wrong?"

"Tianlu Pavilion has been stolen! The guards were unconscious when they found out, the two keys in the pavilion were missing, and the sealed books were opened!"

The courtiers looked at each other for a moment, a little confused.Tianlu Pavilion is located in Weiyang Palace. It is a place where important documents and books have always been sealed up. Most of the emperor's edicts are kept there. Although it is called important, it is a place that no one cares about. Now If it is stolen for no reason, you can't guess what it is used for.

Li Yanzhen obviously understood this, and asked, "What's lost?"

"This..." The chief guard wondered, "There are so many volumes in the pavilion that we haven't found them yet."

Li Yanzhen rubbed her forehead drunkenly, but didn't say anything for a moment.Jiang Yuan glanced at him, took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, please ask Rong Chenqie more." She took out a brass key from her sleeve and looked at the chief guard in the palace. The key, but like this?"

The chief guard was startled, and hurriedly responded: "That's exactly it!... But why does the empress have it?"

Jiang Yuan met Li Yanzhen's puzzled eyes, and slowly said: "Just now, my concubine went out to breathe, and happened to see an adult, and picked up this key on the ground. I planned to ask someone to return it to him after the banquet." She said Then, his eyes fell to the right seat.

The seat on the right was Su Shiyu's seat, but at this time Chu Mingyun was also sitting here. He met Jiang Yuan's gaze, and suddenly raised the corners of his lips, smiling slightly dangerously.

Everyone's gazes followed, and Li Yanzhen asked: "Who is the concubine seeing?"

"Does Your Majesty still need to ask again?" Lu Shi, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, said directly, "Isn't there only one adult at this banquet who has been out for so long?"

Chu Mingyun glanced at him impatiently. Although he knew that this old stubborn had always disliked him, he never expected that he would dislike him to the extent that he would have to look at him a few more times at the banquet.

Jiang Yuan was about to speak, but Su Shiyu preempted her, "Lord Lu, I just left the palace."

"I'm definitely not referring to you!" Lu Shi quickly explained.

Su Shiyu smiled lightly, turned his eyes to Jiang Yuan, and said in a gentle tone, "It's a coincidence that I met Mr. Chu outside the palace, and talked about the previous case, and they didn't go far. I don't know who you saw ?”

Jiang Yuan's expression froze suddenly, and she looked at Su Shiyu in disbelief.

Chu Mingyun watched Su Shiyu open his eyes in amazement and speak nonsense.

Jiang Yuan lowered her eyelashes, "Since Mr. Yu Shi said so, then I must have read it wrong."

There was an uproar in the hall, the Chu party was naturally dissatisfied, and most of the Su party, like Lu Shi, were happy to see what Chu Mingyun had to do, but Su Shiyu spoke, and they were all entangled.

"How could that be?" Su Shiyu chuckled softly, "If your lady misunderstood it, how did you get the key?"

Jiang Yuan was at a loss for words, and Chu Mingyun answered coolly, "You don't have to be so embarrassing. Didn't you say that you have two keys? You can tell if it's true or not by searching the body." He paused, and his smile deepened. "However, if you don't find the remaining one, the minister is really wronged."

A hand suddenly covered the hand that was clenched tightly on the sleeve, Jiang Yuan looked in surprise, Li Yanzhen smiled at her, and finally said: "Forget it, it's a pleasure to have a banquet today, why bother to break up unhappy?" .”

"His Majesty……"

"It's just a few books, it's nothing important, you leave it." Li Yanzhen raised his hand, and the head guard left in response, "Continue to play the music!"

Dance and music start again, the glass is filled with wine, unpleasant things pass like a cloud of smoke, and the glass is drained and left behind.

Su Shiyu took a sip without changing his face, and asked Chu Mingyun who was staring at him, "What do you see?"

"Master Su, I don't think your skin is much thinner than mine, why don't you let me have a look?"

Su Shiyu closed his eyes and smiled lightly, glanced at him, and said in a low voice, "I did see you just now."

"Ok?"

"Some people in the palace said that someone wanted to see me, but they led me to the Taiye Pool and disappeared. Then I saw you and that Jiang Zhaoyi."

"She said she likes me, but you're not jealous?" Chu Mingyun looked at him with a smile.

Su Shiyu didn't answer, and Gu Zi came to a conclusion, "I'm afraid there is something wrong with this empress, but Your Majesty is doting on her. As foreign ministers, it's not easy for you and me to intervene in the harem, so we can only pay attention."

Chu Mingyun didn't care about this, "Then why did you help me?"

Su Shiyu thought for a while, "Just treat it as a favor for you." After a pause, he explained, "In Song Heng's dungeon, you blocked that arrow for me."

Chu Mingyun looked at him for a moment, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "You really are..."

How really, he suddenly couldn't think of a description.

When the banquet was over and she returned to her bedroom, Jiang Yuan still couldn't recover.

She was ordered to cover the Tianlu Pavilion, and she was determined to die, and she only wanted to use Su Shiyu to break Chu Mingyun's power, but Su Shiyu didn't know what was going on, this was the second time that she was sent to the door The opportunity was turned down.The moment he opened his mouth to defend Chu Mingyun, Jiang Yuan had already grasped the poison in his sleeve, but Li Yanzhen happened to hold his hand. This young emperor who had no power skills sent him away with a few words, but he really didn't pursue it. .

"Why are you so pale?" Li Yanzhen Ren Gong'e took off her robe and looked back at her.

Jiang Yuan calmed down and shook her head.

Li Yanzhen came over and said with a smile, "Still thinking about the theft of Tianlu Pavilion?" Seeing that Jiang Yuan was silent, he held her hand, "Although I don't quite understand what's going on, but you don't have to Think again, I believe you can."

Jiang Yuan was stunned, with mixed feelings, but she didn't know what her mood was. She looked down at Li Yanzhen's hand, which was quite delicate. It had held memorials, brushes and carving knives, but it had never been stained with blood. A man's heart is the same, too gentle, not like what an emperor should have.

She sighed secretly in her heart, what a silly boy.

The author has something to say: From Yongyong to Susu: "The Book of Songs·Zhou Song·Yong", a song sung by the emperor of Zhou to worship the ancestral temple.

Chu Mingyun: Don’t worry, I love you too if you have a flat chest.

Su Shiyu: ... Should I be moved?

Chu Mingyun: You can take the initiative.

Su Shiyu: I think too much.
