"My lord, news just came from Hejian Wang Fengyi that the general in the army was dismissed and took away his amulets. Xiangguo Yuanmin and the general of the Chu Party Zhao Kejing who was just transferred to the nearby area moved around quite frequently." In the study , Su Yi replied in a deep voice.

Su Shiyu heard the meaning behind the words, and remembered Lan Yi's earlier mention of "things can't be done", and immediately guessed who Chu Mingyun was meeting privately in the restaurant that day, and fell silent for a while.

Su Yi continued: "Except for King Hejian, the armies of the other princes have also undergone changes. We also accidentally got the news that the envoys of King Xiling entered Beijing secretly and went to the Taiwei's Mansion."

"By chance?" Su Shiyu looked at him.

Su Yi met Su Shiyu's gaze, and bit the word hard again, "by chance."

Su Shiyu understood, looked back, paused, and said: "Being designed by others, the military power of the King of Xiling should be given unwillingly. No wonder he wants to use my strength to obstruct it."

"What does the young man mean?"

Su Shiyu thought for a while, "He did this in secret, neither the court nor I can interfere, and even if he can interfere, how to deal with military power is also a problem. Returning it to the princes is against the policy of reducing the vassal, and returning it to the court is just a change." If the name is in his hands, it is better to wait and see what happens."

"Yes."

"Is there any difference between Mr. Yue and Mr. Xiang?" Su Shiyu asked.

"The people sent there have been watching and found nothing wrong."

Su Shiyu nodded, just said: "No hurry, just observe for a while."

Su Yi responded, seeing that Su Shiyu didn't intend to speak again, his expression was slightly concentrated, and he suddenly said: "This subordinate has something to say, please don't blame me, my lord."

Su Shiyu smiled gently, "But it's okay to say."

"The subordinates believe that although the King of Xiling is a great harm to the court, the Chu Taiwei is still too arrogant at the moment. In order to suppress the vassal king and let the Chu Party run rampant, it is undoubtedly sacrificing the big for the small. You have a far-sighted vision and should not make such a mistake. "

The smile on Su Shiyu's face faded.

Su Bai is devoted to his son, and he never mentions the matter of the son and Chu Taiwei to his own father, but Su Yi has been in the Su family for many years, seeing the son grow up, he can naturally notice something unusual, " The young master has always been upright and fair, and he should be most aware that it is a taboo to be disturbed by personal affairs."

Su Shiyu was silent, Su Yi glanced at him, straightened his sleeves, stepped back and knelt down with a big bow: "This subordinate oversteps, and is willing to be punished."

Seeing the middle-aged man kowtow, Su Shiyu smiled slowly, and helped him up with both hands, Fang whispered: "I understand."

Su Yi said no more, and left.

He stood alone in front of the window, his eyes closed and silent.The sky was dark in a blink of an eye, the study room was not lit, and it was dark. In the distance, Lan Yi was pulling Su Bai to hang a lantern on the corridor, and the light was cast obliquely and dimly.

Behind him, the door squeaked softly, as if it was blown open by the wind, but it was clear that someone else was breathing, only a few steps away behind him.

Su Shiyu's back stiffened, he was silent for a moment, and then slowly turned around.

On the night of the full moon, the moonlight falling all over the ground behind the man was no match for his clear eyes, and he quietly looked over in the dark and misty room.

The myriad of thoughts turned blank in an instant, and Su Shiyu forgot to speak under the sudden beating of his heart.

Chu Mingyun just looked at him, smiled a little bit, and opened his mouth very naturally: "Have you had dinner yet?"

"..." Su Shiyu didn't expect such a sentence, and was really taken aback, "...not yet."

"That's just right," Chu Mingyun held his hand, "how about going out with me?"

Su Shiyu regained his composure, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your kindness, but..."

"I'll change it with you." Chu Mingyun interrupted him, and said in a low voice: "I'll change a question with you, court hall, army, I will tell you the truth about whatever you want to ask, and I will exchange your time for one night."

"I……"

"I won't touch you, you go out with me. Don't think about anything but me, just pretend you're still in Huainan." He said, "Is that okay?"

There was an undeniable toughness in his tone, and he held his hand hard, causing Su Shiyu's phalanx to hurt faintly. Chu Mingyun just stared at him for a moment, but his frown was cautious and extremely awkward. up.

Su Yi's warning seemed to be still lingering in the room, Su Shiyu opened his mouth, so dry that he couldn't make a sound.

It is taboo to be disturbed by personal affairs.

He understands it better than anyone else.

But the longing suppressed in the bottom of my heart is whispering in these eyes, and vines are growing wildly, swallowing the restraint of reason bit by bit, swallowing it into lovesickness that goes deep into the bone.

It seemed that all the delusions of his life had been exhausted on him alone.

After a long time, Su Shiyu lowered his eyes and settled down, "Okay." He said again, "But let go first..."

Chu Mingyun's patience was limited to hearing the first word, and he pulled Su Shiyu and walked out. When he heard the sound, he just opened the door, looked back at the bright lights outside the corridor, and said with a smile: "I'm afraid you will disappear again, how dare you let go?" .”

After leaving the mansion, Su Shiyu discovered that Chu Mingyun's extremely abrupt words were not a random question.

The two sat down in the restaurant, and Su Shiyu couldn't help asking: "You haven't eaten yet?"

"Yeah." Chu Mingyun said with a smile, "I have a better appetite for you."

The waiter at the table trembled and couldn't help but look at them a few more times. Seeing that Chu Mingyun finished ordering, he hurriedly said: "Hey, don't you two young masters want Lantern Festival? Today is the Lantern Festival! Let's go together! It’s a good day for reunion, why don’t you eat a bowl of Lantern Festival to celebrate?”

"Alright." Chu Mingyun nodded casually, looked at Su Shiyu, and suddenly laughed softly: "Is it a rare reunion between you and me tonight?"

Su Shiyu paused for a while with the hand holding the teacup, and slowly tightened it, without answering.

The light in Chu Mingyun's eyes darkened slightly, and the smile on his lips disappeared as if there was no trace.

The atmosphere suddenly changed, and Xiao Er didn't know what was wrong, so he hurriedly slipped away with a wink.The two were relatively silent about this, and the dishes were served one by one, and finally two bowls of Yuanxiao were served, with a hot aroma, snow-white glutinous skin wrapped in sweet-scented osmanthus and sesame fillings, and the bowl was full of reunion.

Chu Mingyun suddenly turned his head to look out the window, and Su Shiyu followed his gaze. In the distance, sky lanterns floated into the night, floated over the pavilions and carvings, and floated across the illuminated long street, like dots of starlight.Su Shiyu glanced down, and saw Su Bai and Lan Yi who were among the crowd on the opposite street looking in this direction.Apparently Su Bai saw him being dragged out of the house and was afraid that something might happen, and the two of them were able to follow secretly until now, obviously relying on Lan Yi, Su Shiyu suddenly felt a little helpless, and stood beside him and said: "I'll call They go back..."

But Chu Mingyun grabbed his wrist.He was still looking out the window, showing no expression.

"It's just outside the building." He didn't respond, Su Shiyu thought for a while, and added: "Since I have promised you, I won't leave without permission."

Only then did Chu Mingyun look at him, let go of his hand, straightened his sleeves with the corners of his lips curled up, "I'll wait for you."

It took a lot of effort to put Su Bai and Lan Yi at ease. Seeing the backs of the two of them arguing about where to go to play, Su Shiyu heaved a sigh of relief. After he stepped into the restaurant, he suddenly stopped and turned around. A shadow swept out from the building, the black-feathered bird disappeared into the night, it was Chu Mingyun who issued a secret order.

Su Shiyu stood there for a while, lowered his eyes and chuckled knowingly, and continued to walk upstairs as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't seen anything.

When Chu Mingyun saw him coming back, he curled his lips silently, and after eating, he dragged him to wander the street again.

Chang'an Market is already prosperous, but now it is even more lively. There are constant shouts and music along the street, lanterns are everywhere, fireworks fill the sky, and there are many tourists. They will not attract attention if they mix among them.

After walking in silence for a while, Chu Mingyun said, "That question, have you decided what to ask?"

Su Shiyu turned his head to look at him, and said softly, "Do you still have a headache afterward?"

Chu Mingyun froze for a moment, "What?"

With this reaction, Su Shiyu knew that he completely forgot after sobering up, and smiled lightly, "It's nothing."

"...Have you finished asking?" Chu Mingyun was a little surprised, "Is there anything else to ask?"

"No more." Su Shiyu said, "If I want to know about the matter in the court, I will naturally check it out. There is no need to ask specifically."

Chu Mingyun sneered, "Is there no need to ask specifically, or do you simply not believe what I say?"

Su Shiyu shook his head, and asked with a smile in his voice: "Didn't you tell me not to think about anything but you?"

Chu Mingyun stopped suddenly, and fell two steps behind. Not far away, fireworks exploded into the sky and exploded thousands of stars. The crowd burst into a commotion. He stared at Su Shiyu's back, and the two words trembled in his throat before he managed to say: "World Honor."

The voice was extremely soft, as if he was afraid of waking up something, and was drowned by the noise of pedestrians, but Chu Mingyun was sure that Su Shiyu heard it, because he also stopped in response to the sound, paused for a moment, and turned around in the crowd.

Chu Mingyun stared at him, raised his eyebrows a little bit, smiled, and then stretched out his hand to him, spreading his palm.

Su Shiyu's eyes moved, but he frowned slightly, "There are so many people, you..."

"If you procrastinate any longer, you will be surrounded by people in a while." Chu Mingyun didn't change his face.

Su Shiyu looked around, but no one noticed this side at this time, he sighed helplessly, stepped forward to hold Chu Mingyun's hand, and was immediately held back by the other party, palms touching and fingers clasped tightly.

Many teenagers and girls passed by them, taking advantage of the rare festival to secretly hold hands and look at the lanterns along the street. Their palms were hot and their cheeks were blushing, especially better than the lanterns. This was the most common and precious heartbeat.

The lights illuminate the night like the day, the laughter is full of words, and the dark fragrance floats.Chu Mingyun frowned, looked at Su Shiyu's profile, and couldn't help saying again: "Shiyu."

"Hmm." Su Shiyu pointed forward, "Do you want to eat that?"

Chu Mingyun turned his head and saw that the candied haws vendor was surrounded by a group of children, smiling and sharing bunches of bright red candied haws.

"..." Chu Mingyun said, "How old am I?"

Su Shiyu couldn't help laughing, "Who was the one who had to wait for someone to drag him before he was willing to leave?"

Chu Mingyun blinked at him brazenly, his eyebrows full.

Before I knew it, I had wandered outside the city, people who released river lanterns and sky lanterns gathered here, reflecting the lights on the river beach, and street vendors selling lanterns were all trying their best to greet them loudly.A clerk from a larger stall ran over and bowed to the two of them, "You two young masters are going this way, and they have already prepared as instructed, and we are waiting for you two to come over."

Two sky lanterns were held up, different from the ordinary white ones placed by others, the surface of the lanterns was azure, and painted with a touch of ink, one could tell that they were exquisite and specially made.Su Shiyu looked at it for a while, and said with a smile: "The preparations are so thorough, do you like to put lights?"

"I like you." Chu Mingyun said without raising his eyes, took the pen he was going to put aside and handed it to him, "here."

There are still lamps floating slowly around, and people are laughing and looking up, their eyes filled with anticipation, as if the wishes carried on the lamps can go up to the sky, asking the gods if they might agree.

Chu Mingyun wrote very quickly, lit the candle in the lamp, raised his wrist to let the sky lantern float up, but looked at Su Shiyu, "Have you made up your mind yet?"

He vaguely saw something written on the lamp, but Su Shiyu dipped in the ink again, but suddenly couldn't write.He was pulled back from his thoughts by Chu Mingyun's voice, smiled, and finally gave up adding anything, lit the sky lantern and let it fly.

Chu Mingyun watched the two eye-catching green lanterns gradually drifting away, and asked casually, "What did you write?"

"The country is peaceful and the people are safe." Su Shiyu said calmly.

"..." Chu Mingyun was silent for a while, then smiled again: "Aren't you going to ask me?"

"No need," Su Shiyu said with a smile, "Didn't it mean that expressing a wish won't work?"

Chu Mingyun looked at him sideways, with deep eyes, and said in a low voice: "If it works, I should really believe in gods and Buddhas." He glanced at the distance, and suddenly said: "Wait here for me. "Just let go of your hand and didn't take two steps, and suddenly folded your body and pressed Su Shiyu's shoulder, facing his slightly surprised expression, "You are not allowed to go anywhere, wait for me to come back, just for a while, I won't let you wait too long Long."

The astonishment disappeared from his jade-like face, and Su Shiyu smiled slowly, "Okay."

Chu Mingyun found Qin Zhao in a remote place on the river beach without much effort, and with a blank face, he opened his mouth as soon as he saw him: "Brother, the secret order is not for you to use like this."

Chu Mingyun raised his chin at Du Yue, who was buying candy, "Didn't you just pull that guy out?"

"When he heard that he was going to stop his cousin's light, he insisted on following," Qin Zhao said.

Chu Mingyun gave a meaningful 'oh', "No wonder you have such a complexion."

Qin Zhao handed him the extinguished green light, "Save the strength to sympathize with yourself."

Chu Mingyun lowered his eyes and looked over the lamp surface. Su Shiyu's words were only succinct: "One wish for the prosperity of the country, and two wishes for the peace of the people." It’s really a peaceful country.”

While speaking, Du Yue had already leaned over, and handed the lamp in front of his eyes, "Hey, is this yours?"

Chu Mingyun took it casually, and it was more concise on paper: Su Shiyu.Only these three words.

"I thought you would write revenge." Du Yue glanced at his expression.

He lowered his eyes and rubbed the name with his fingertips, but did not speak. Du Yue and Qin Zhao were also speechless for a moment, and the noisy river beach seemed to be unable to penetrate the slightest enthusiasm.Until Chu Mingyun raised his hand and rubbed the center of his eyebrows, he raised his hand to drive away people, "Go away, don't come to my side to make trouble."

Du Yue swallowed the urge to scold him, and immediately dragged Qin Zhao to the place by the river where he rented a small boat. Halfway there, he suddenly thought of something, turned around and rushed back to Chu Mingyun who was still there, "...I have Intuition," Du Yue gasped, "Go and see what my cousin is doing! Go, go!"

Chu Mingyun froze for a moment, then thought of something, turned around and rushed to where he came from.

He saw him, at a distance.

Su Shiyu stood in an unoccupied corner, with a slender figure, and sky lanterns intertwined around him to form a sea of ​​warm colors.An ordinary but plain sky lantern was lit in his hand, and it rose in a leisurely circle.As if aware of something, Su Shiyu suddenly turned his head and looked over. Thousands of lights illuminated his black pupils. The crowd was crowded, and only the figure passing through the crowd appeared in his eyes, with a gentle smile on his brows and eyes.

The whole world is very noisy, and then silent for a moment, you can hear the moon shining on the river, you can hear the faint singing of the towers, you can hear the cold bells in the distant mountains, and you can hear the footsteps coming from far and near.

As soon as Chu Mingyun grabbed his arm and looked up, the lamp had long been mixed in the sea of ​​lights rising from the sky, making it impossible to distinguish.

"I didn't leave." Su Shiyu looked at him.

"What did you write?" Chu Mingyun pulled him closer.

Su Shiyu paused imperceptibly, and then said calmly: "The country is peaceful and the people are safe."

"Then why do you have to write it twice?" Chu Mingyun frowned and stared at him, "What did you write?"

Su Shiyu was a little puzzled, and said with a smile: "It's just a lamp, why should you care so much?"

Chu Mingyun didn't say a word, but looked at him with eyes as deep as the sea, and his eyes met each other. After a long time, he slowly approached him.

Su Shiyu's breathing was slightly stagnant, and he didn't move. He felt that his breath was approaching, and when he was about to touch it, Chu Mingyun suddenly stopped, with a slightly hoarse voice, and said softly: "If you feel sick, you can run away. "

Being so close, you can feel the breath of every word, warm and numb.

With a tremor of his fingertips, Su Shiyu pulled him back into the shadow of the tree, fell silent for a moment, and slowly closed his eyes.

In the next moment, the whole person was pressed against the tree, but Chu Mingyun still tried his best to restrain himself, for fear that the rough tree trunk would crush him.He couldn't even see his face clearly under the shadow of the dark tree. He leaned over and kissed Su Shiyu's forehead inch by inch, from the center of his eyebrows to the corners of his eyes, and finally touched his lips. He sighed softly and kissed him without any hesitation. .

As if he was afraid of offending Su Shiyu, he suppressed his eagerness, kissed his lips almost softly and reverently, then pressed his teeth together again, licking and entangled, extremely lingering, but more addictive than any spirit.

The tourists gradually dispersed, and the small boats in the river became even more silent. Numerous sky lanterns were blown by the wind, shining warm light around the boat.Du Yue grabbed the edge of the boat and reached out to touch the floating sky lantern. A plain white lantern slowly approached, revealing a line of ink characters on it.Du Yue squinted his eyes to identify, "Three wishes to my loved one... Hey, this word looks familiar——ah Qin Zhao!"

Qin Zhao reacted quickly and brought back Du Yue who almost fell into the water. Du Yue took a step back and fell directly into his arms. He raised his head and met Qin Zhao's nervous eyes. The two were stunned by coincidence. for a moment.

Du Yue blinked, regained his composure, and hurriedly moved away.

Qin Zhao was still frozen in place, Du Yue turned his head to look at him for a while, coughed, and faltered: "Ah, what, where are you pressing?"

Qin Zhao came back to his senses and shook his head, "No."

"Oh, that's it." Du Yue sat down obediently.

The sky lantern that he stretched out his hand to reach swayed towards the bright moon in the sky.

I wish that the country will prosper.

Second wish Li Minning.

Three wishes that my love will be safe and sound, and be safe and sound every year.
