"I'm taking care of Huainan's affairs now," Li Che sat down at the table, "The rebellion of the Huainan king's remnant party had a great influence on my father. After that, he almost didn't intervene here, only occasionally. one time."

As the sun set and the candles were lit in the room, the maids brought the bowls, chopsticks and wine cups and stood aside, leaving the four of them to sit opposite each other for dinner.

"By the way," Li Che picked up the chopsticks, thought for a while, and said, "If brother wants to see his father, I can arrange it for you."

"That's unnecessary," Su Shiyu said, "I was ordered to come here to find out what happened in Huainan. Since the prince is far away from chaos, why bother him."

Li Che smiled, "Then listen to what my brother wants."

Chu Mingyun glanced at him, and said bluntly: "What exactly is the situation when the rebels are in trouble?"

"...It happened so suddenly, and actually the lower officials didn't know very well." Han Zhongwen said slowly, "Late at night that day, a fire suddenly broke out in the city. I quickly sent people to rescue it, and then it appeared from nowhere. There are many elite soldiers, the city is in chaos, and their main force is attacking wildly outside the city. Although the officials immediately sent out troops to resist, they were still defeated by their internal cooperation and sacrificed countless soldiers in the city, but they were still defeated in the end. The officer is ashamed."

"You should be ashamed." Chu Mingyun looked at him, "And then, why did they disappear overnight?"

Han Zhongwen lowered his eyes, "This... the lower officials will not know."

Seeing Chu Mingyun simply withdraw his gaze and focus on eating, Su Shiyu pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Have you two seen the support army led by Luo Xin?"

"No." Li Che shook his head, "I've heard some speculations in Chang'an these days, and I think that's what they said. Brother, I know that Luo Xin is the person you fancy, and it may be difficult to accept, but He's probably really betrayed."

"The lower officials think so too." Han Zhongwen echoed, "After all, Luo Xin is the king of Huainan."

"It's still too early to make a conclusion. No matter how many people say it, guesses are just guesses." Su Shiyu said lightly, "If only guesses are enough to prove, I don't need to come to Huainan in person."

"Brother is still the same." Li Che smiled and thought for a while, "It's not completely unfounded. Although Mr. Han and I have never seen Luo Xin, some soldiers reported that they saw someone who was there that night. Entering the city to fornicate the rebel party."

Su Shiyu slowly stroked the wine cup with his fingertips, he just smiled and said nothing.

Suddenly there was nothing at the banquet, Li Che quickly smiled when he saw this, and raised his wine cup with both hands, "In any case, the two adults are important ministers of the court, but they are willing to travel thousands of miles for my affairs in Xiling Feng. You have a drink." After speaking, he raised his head and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Your Majesty, you are welcome."

Chu Mingyun casually lifted the cup, but his eyes froze slightly.He saw Li Che's wide sleeves slide down when he toasted, revealing a long and narrow dark red scar on his pale arm, "What's wrong with Shizi's arm?"

"Oh, this," Li Che straightened his sleeves to cover the scar, "it's nothing, I accidentally hurt it while hunting."

"Really?" Chu Mingyun raised his eyebrows slightly, "It looks like a sword wound to me."

"It seems that your complexion is also very bad. Are you not in good health recently?" Su Shiyu looked at him carefully.

"Well, I had a serious illness before, and I've gotten better recently." Li Che replied vaguely.

Su Shiyu nodded, "It's better to drink less."

"Thank you brother for your concern," Li Che smiled, "It's no longer in the way."

Chu Mingyun slowly drank the wine in the glass, tapped the porcelain cup lightly with his fingertips, and suddenly laughed softly, unable to detect any emotion.

"What's wrong?" Su Shiyu looked at him.

"Suddenly thought of the woman that Hongxiu recruited before," Chu Mingyun said casually, "If she is not dead, there may be some clues."

Su Shiyu thought about it for a while, "You mean Miss Jingshu? It's a pity, if I could stop it in time..."

"Her identity was exposed and her own people silenced her. It's a normal thing, what a pity you are." Chu Mingyun interrupted him, paused for a moment, and couldn't help but grab his hand again, "Shiyu, don't you treat me again?" Everyone is so nice, I really want to be jealous."

Before Chu Mingyun finished speaking, there was a 'click' on the opposite side, and the chopsticks fell to the ground and rolled away. Li Che still kept his original movements empty-handed, and looked down in a daze. The other three also looked at him in unison. He has different expressions.

Han Zhongwen was the first to react, and asked the maid to put on a pair of chopsticks. He turned his head and stared at their hands, with a complicated expression on his face, "This... two adults, what is this... related to?"

"Can't you see?" Chu Mingyun glanced sideways.

Han Zhongwen froze for a moment, lowered his head and smiled dryly, "...I can see it."

Holding up the chopsticks and putting them down again, Li Che raised his head and drank another glass of wine, then pulled up the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "Master Chu and brother... really surprised me."

Chu Mingyun withdrew his gaze in an unclear manner, and Su Shiyu also smiled thoughtfully.

There was a moment of silence, and the sound of cicadas from somewhere penetrated into the room, adding a bit of hoarseness and effort to the end of the journey.

After a long time, Li Che put down the empty wine cup and asked in a low voice without warning: "Is brother really tempted?"

Han Zhongwen was taken aback again, and even Chu Mingyun couldn't help but slowly raise his eyes to Li Che.

Su Shiyu narrowed his eyes slightly, calmly, "Why do you ask such a question?"

"Because I find it unbelievable. Brother, you have never liked anything." Li Che said, "Why do you like him?"

Chu Mingyun's eyes gradually darkened, and he lowered his eyes expressionlessly, pursing the corners of his lips tightly without saying a word.

"I remember that when I was young, my elder brother always looked like he had no desires and no desires. He never wanted anything, and everything was dispensable. Unlike me, who can compete with others for life and death for some gadgets." At this point, he endured I couldn't help laughing, and continued, "Brother always treats people very well. It's just that he has a good personality and treats everyone very well. It will always make people think that he likes it, but in fact it has nothing to do with liking. They all say this Elder brother seems to be born weaker, but there is nothing wrong with it, and you can avoid a lot of worries and hesitation."

"I left Chang'an when I grew up, and I had little contact with my elder brother. The news was only heard. I heard that others could not understand my elder brother's preferences, and I had no way to bribe him, but it made me laugh for a long time. Then I suddenly heard that The elder brother’s mansion took in one or two actresses, Legie, and they had a very good relationship. I thought it was because the elder brother was finally tempted, but not long after, I learned that those girls had their own agendas, and they were dealt with mercilessly by the elder brother. Sigh, brother really won't change..."

"My son." Su Shiyu interrupted him.

Li Che glanced at him with a smile, took a sip of his wine, and continued, "Brother won't be angry, I understand, because brother doesn't care about anything, so of course he won't be angry. So I always feel... ...There is nothing in this world that my brother can like."

Su Shiyu's voice faded again and again, "What exactly does the prince want to say?"

Li Che held the wine cup tightly, and laughed softly, "Father always hoped that I could be like you. When I was a child, I was not convinced when I heard this, but now, I feel the same way.... If I can be like you That's all right brother."

The wine cup was suddenly placed on the table, and with a soft knock, Chu Mingyun got up and walked out.

"Sorry, excuse me." Su Shiyu frowned slightly, then stood up.

Han Zhongwen, who had been unable to get in the conversation, gave him two steps, then turned around and saw that Li Che was sitting alone at the table, drinking one cup after another.

The breeze in the corridor was soft, Chu Mingyun glanced at the waiting attendants, "Everyone back down."

"But my lord, this courtyard is very dark at night, I'm afraid I can't see it..." The maid with the lamp said timidly, looked up and saw Chu Mingyun's eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head and left.

It was dark at night in Zhuyuan, Su Shiyu subconsciously grabbed Chu Mingyun's wrist, and he who was walking in front suddenly stopped and turned around.The moonlight was covered by dense leaves, and the winding path became more and more deep, but Chu Mingyun's eyes were clear, and Su Shiyu saw him staring at him for a long time, then his eyebrows were slightly raised, and he smiled.

Chu Mingyun raised the hand that was being held, and spread out his palm.

Su Shiyu looked up at him in confusion, paused for a moment, then chuckled helplessly, let go of his wrist, and took his hand instead.

Immediately he was held tightly by him, fingers intertwined, Su Shiyu touched his fingertips slightly cold, and said in a warm voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Chu Mingyun said indifferently, and walked slowly side by side with him, "I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating him if I stay a little longer."

Su Shiyu smiled, "Do you think the son is Boss Mu of the Bliss Building?"

"The location of the wound is so special that it looks familiar, but I can't confirm anything from his reaction." Chu Mingyun said, "I have figured out something about Luo Xin."

"what?"

"Let's just assume that Luo Xin was indeed a traitor. Then the situation was so good at that time. Why did the rebel party suddenly disappear and lose the previous city? Why didn't they take advantage of their power How about taking advantage of the victory to take down the entire Huainan in one fell swoop? At least, we can be sure of it."

"The rebel party did not get this support army from the imperial court." Su Shiyu said, turning his head to look at Chu Mingyun.

Chu Mingyun laughed, "Then why did Luo Xin and the reinforcements disappear? Where are they and the rebel party now?"

Su Shiyu pondered for a moment, "Han Zhongwen and Shizi's words may not be reliable, anyway, we need to investigate more carefully."

Saying that he loosened his hand, Chu Mingyun clenched it tightly, and looked at him with frowns, "What are you doing?"

Su Shiyu couldn't help laughing, and pointed to the brightly lit courtyard ahead, "I've arrived, your residence is over there."

Chu Mingyun took his hand and rubbed his chin, "How long has it been, and you have the heart to sleep in a separate room with me?"

"This is Han Zhongwen's mansion, it's no better than on the road, do you still plan to stay with me every night?" Su Shiyu chuckled lightly.

Chu Mingyun tilted his head, frowned and looked at him, "Shiyu..."

"Don't act like a baby." Su Shiyu cut him off decisively.

Chu Mingyun sighed leisurely, "If you change back to Doctor Yushi, you won't hurt me anymore."

"...Chu Mingyun." Su Shiyu looked at him.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Chu Mingyun couldn't hold back a low laugh, and when he raised his eyes again, his expression was straightened, "The atmosphere in the whole Shouchun City is very strange, Han Zhongwen may have problems here, you really don't need it I accompany?"

"I'll pay attention." Su Shiyu smiled lightly, "It's too extravagant to ask Mr. Taiwei to be a guard, and I can't afford it."

"Where is the extravagance," Chu Mingyun said with a smile, "Kiss me a few more times at night, and call me husband a few more times, not to mention ordinary guards, I would be happy to guard you close to me."

"Go to bed early." Su Shiyu nodded to him, turned around and left.

"Wait." Chu Mingyun hurriedly grabbed him, "You really are going."

Su Shiyu turned around, Chu Mingyun looked at him, and said in a low voice: "I should go to the barracks tomorrow, so why don't you say anything?"

Su Shiyu thought for a while, then said softly, "Remember to eat on time, don't be picky eaters, and don't kick the quilt at night..."

"..." Chu Mingyun said, "When did I kick the quilt?"

Su Shiyu looked at him with a smile, "Then drink less and don't stay up late."

"..." Chu Mingyun stared at him speechlessly for a long while, and finally heaved a long sigh helplessly, "You really can't get a single word of love out of you." After a pause, he suddenly said softly, "Shiyu."

"how?"

"You don't seem to have ever said that you like me." Chu Mingyun's eyebrows became quieter.

His heart trembled suddenly, and Su Shiyu was stunned, unable to answer.

Chu Mingyun looked at him seriously, and slowly smiled with his eyes bent. He held Su Shiyu's face in his hands, "I know you are too thin-skinned to say it, so let me say it again for you." His eyes reflected the lights in the courtyard Shining brightly, they leaned very close, "I like you." Lightly but firmly, "I like you."

Su Shiyu's fingertips trembled suddenly, and he was very close to Chu Mingyun's eyes full of joy, and it was difficult to look away. He opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat was choked and he couldn't speak.Chu Mingyun kissed it.

In the end, Chu Mingyun watched Su Shiyu's figure disappear behind the door. He stood there in silence for a moment, casually broke off a branch, looked at it, and instantly turned into an afterimage and shot straight into the dark forest, with a blunt sound piercing into the flesh , The smell of blood mixed with the fragrance of bamboo leaves came from strands of wisps.

Chu Mingyun adjusted his cuffs slowly, "The purpose of saving your life is to let you go back and tell your master that not everyone can watch over you, so be quiet, understand?"

There was a slight rustle in the forest, and then it became completely quiet.

He raised his eyes to look into the courtyard again, and Gu Zi laughed softly.

In the room, Su Bai had already packed everything properly. When he saw Su Shiyu came back, he couldn't help but said, "Master, did you see Lan Yi in Xiangyang?"

"seen."

"Then, is it true that she said that you took her back?" Su Bai asked nervously.

Su Shiyu gave him a funny look, "Didn't Lan Yi tell you the reason?"

"She said it, but...but," Su Bai scratched his head, and said ruthlessly, "How can you ask your son to do such a heavy job of carrying her back, next time, next time, or let me work hard..." the voice It got smaller and smaller.

Su Shiyu shook his head and smiled, raised his hand and opened the window, and saw Chu Mingyun turned and left at a glance.He stood in front of the window, watching the slender figure gradually disappear, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely gentle.

It is when the lights are half dim and the moon is half bright.
