It's not good to be a courtier

Feng Yan, who went to the plum garden vertically and was sent back horizontally, has had a very miserable life since then, and has been detained by Cui Xin and cannot go out. Wen Dao: Scattered flowers catch the eyes and captivate the heart.The Taoist priest who unwrapped the lottery clicked his tongue for a long time, twirled his beard without two hairs and said: "This lottery has a bad meaning. The person you are looking for has recently committed a lot of crimes, and if you don't open it, you will lose. You have to be careful." .”

Cui Xin thought about it for a while, and felt that there seemed to be such a point. When she returned to the General’s Mansion, she saw a woman sneaking in and wanted to pass in a message. It was only then that Xin finally believed that Feng Yan had really committed a crime recently.

When Liu Yu came to find Feng Yan, it was the thirteenth lighting season. Cui Xinqian urged Wan to send the two of them out. Feeling anxious, she sent a few servants to follow, and was stopped by a woman in plain clothes as soon as she left the gate. Next, the woman knelt down in front of Feng Yan with a sobbing voice, tears streaming down like rain, and choked back: "Please, General Feng, go and see my lady. My lady misses the general day and night, and she is bedridden without eating and drinking." It's been half a month, and there is only a letter in blood, hoping that the general can fulfill my young lady's wish."

Feng Yan frowned before opening his mouth, but Liu Yu smiled and said: "I haven't seen you for a few days, I don't know that you have the art of rejuvenation, don't the ladies now need a doctor to see a doctor, what's the matter in front of your door?" .”

Feng Yan laughed at himself, "I just found out that I still have this ability." After speaking, he turned his eyes to the girl who was kneeling on the ground and said, "Please report to your lady, I have no intentions for your lady." , please stop pestering her."

What did the woman want to say, a few servants came out of the mansion, Feng Yan ordered: "Send this girl back well, if you see her again in the future, just beat her out, don't show mercy!" After speaking, Liu Yu took care of himself Since go far.

Liu Yu saw that his tactics were neat, and he was not just a persimmon. He skipped the topic and asked, "I heard you say that the filial piety period has passed. Now that the war in the northern border is over, will you go back?"

"Of course I have to go back. When I came back, I didn't plan to stay for a long time. It's worth it. Three years have passed like this." Feng Yan pondered for a while, because he couldn't leave in the last life.He grew up in the northern border since he was a child. At the age of 16, he returned to Beijing to observe filial piety due to the death of the Feng family's grandmother. Now he is wearing a crown at the age of 20. It is a good time for youth, and it is time to go to the northern border to continue his training.In his previous life, he showed his affection once, and was very humiliated by Murong Qi. Later, he obeyed his elder brother's arrangement and stayed in Beijing, and never returned to the northern border.

"A good man has ambitions all over the world. If my mother hadn't been sick in recent years, I would have returned to the East Realm long ago if I had to do my filial piety in front of her." Liu Yu looked up at the passing lights over his head with some regret, thinking of the years ago. The doctor said that my mother's serious illness probably took place within a year or two.The mother was married to the father, and she never showed joy in her life, only a little comfort from a few children.Years later, when the army set out, his father and elder brother were about to return to the East Territory. Although he wanted to go with him, but thinking of his mother's body that was getting thinner and thinner, he still held back and didn't bring it up.

In this regard, Feng Yan is undoubtedly lucky. Although his mother is a noble daughter of the Xie family in Jiangzuo, she has adapted well after marrying a martial artist like his father. His father loves his mother and responds to her requests.If Cui Xin has any regrets in this life, it is probably that she did not give birth to a daughter. She hoped twice to have a son in the end, and she was very disappointed. Now she wants to get a daughter-in-law back sooner, but the two sons are not interested in this matter. , She was used to worrying about it, and recently she was afraid that Feng Yan would get into trouble, and she didn't even go to the banquet of the female relatives of the imperial capital.

"What about His Highness the Eighteenth?" Liu Yu suddenly thought that Feng Yan had just received an errand a few years ago, and now that he returned to the northern border, His Highness would definitely be hindered.

Feng Yan lowered his gaze, and said for a while: "It's really not suitable for me to stay with him after putting on the crown. It's easy for him to find another martial servant."

Liu Yu smiled and said: "You think too much, you don't stay with the adult prince, what are you afraid of. But staying with such a prince with no future is indeed not as fast as going to the northern border to practice."

Feng Yan immediately said: "It's not because of this...the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intentions. You must not be so ignorant with your mouth."

What else did Liu Yu want to say, someone suddenly screamed on the edge of the moat in front of the city, and the people gathered by the river for sightseeing scattered, Feng Yan and Liu Yu immediately ran up, stopped a panicked young man and asked : "What happened, why are you so flustered?"

Still in shock, the young man covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve and said, "There are dead people in the river. It's terrible. They are floating in the water plants on the bank. A couple of young people went there and found them with lamps. I can’t see clearly.”

Feng Yan and Liu Yu were afraid that the crowd would be crowded and there would be a stampede due to panic, so they hurried forward to maintain order, especially paying attention to protecting the children. After a while, Captain Jingdu sent someone to salvage the corpse.One child was so curious that he lay on the city wall, leaning out most of his body. Seeing that he was about to fall due to exhaustion, Feng Yan immediately grabbed him with quick eyesight.The child screamed, Feng Yan followed his gaze, and saw a lieutenant picking up the corpse with a bamboo pole on the brightly lit river bank, the swollen face bounced up with the bamboo pole, he was startled, Following closely the movement of the bamboo pole, he could clearly see the face of the corpse.Then, like a nightmare, more faces immediately appeared in front of his eyes, those unfamiliar and familiar ones, the faces of those who died at Murong Qi's hand because of him.

"Yes, it's Cui Long'er..." Feng Yan murmured, "How could it be?" A young lady from a wealthy family floated in the river with corpses in just a few days and no one cared about her.

Seeing that his face was pale and his lips trembled uncontrollably, Liu Yu seemed to have said something, so he leaned over and asked, "What's the matter, do you know him?"

Feng Yan clenched his fists tightly, trying to suppress the rampant emotions in his heart, and said in a hurry: "Let's go back now." He was too panic-stricken. Wei's men found him acting suspicious and immediately chased after him.

"Stop!" Jingdu Wei Weishou solemnly and coldly shouted, he was on duty today, he was off the night shift, and when he got home he had just picked up the hot Lantern Festival, someone from the yamen came to report that something had happened.He immediately grimaced, put down the Lantern Festival, and hurried over without even changing his clothes.

Feng Yan was immersed in the emotions of the past at that time, and was hit by the side with a whip from Jingdu Lieutenant who was chasing from behind, and he had already made a move before he could react.

Feng Yan's skills are considered outstanding among his peers, but facing the capital captain who often fights with vicious gangsters, he gradually shows weakness. , I felt that it was a very powerful opponent, so I exerted great strength.Feng Yan didn't realize it until after taking a few moves, and his subordinates loosened their strength, trying to make it clear, but was whipped directly on the neck by Wei Shou, and blood splashed out, dripping half of the skirt of his clothes.

Liu Yu was shocked, and without hesitation to dodge, he grabbed the tail of the whip head-on, feeling the sharp pain in his hand, because the silver whip was specially made, and several triangular thorns fell from the tail of the whip, so he used brute force Pulling the skirt of the captain's head and roaring: "Don't listen to it, don't ask it, don't investigate it, don't interrogate it, such a heavy hand, Lieutenant Jingdu acted like this, why?"

Feng Yan clutched the wound, only felt the heat in his palms, but felt no pain, and suddenly remembered that he didn't feel any pain when he killed himself in the end, but there was a chill on his back, and a sudden fear rose in his heart.What is he here for, yes, to let Murong Qi be a wise king for a while, and not to go on the road of cruelty and inhumanity.He should have a good death, instead of being with a courtier like himself and leaving a bad reputation for thousands of years.He should be famous through the ages, and be the wise king in the annals of history who has never been seen before or since.

He suddenly remembered that on the day in Meiyuan, his head was wrapped in a bandage, and he looked extremely embarrassed and prayed to Murong, Cui Xie must have some difficulties, Cui Long'er is just a child's heart, Cui Lin'er is a cousin I like it very much, no matter how ignorant this uncle Cui Jiazhi is, he is still his mother's brother.Murong Qi didn't speak, he stood under the evening water in Bieting, at that time dusk was approaching, he was covered with twilight, his side face was obviously soaked by the orange-red glow, but he remained silent.Since that day, classes have not resumed, and no one has sent any news.

Now it seems that Cui Long'er's floating corpse in the river is the biggest proof that he didn't listen to his words.In the future he would say not to embarrass Princess Fengyang, even though Princess Fengyang acted a bit perversely, she was his sister after all, Murong Qi didn't listen.He also said that Wang Xiehuanxue is a long-standing clan master, and he is deeply intertwined in the court, and he will not move if he can, but Murong Qi still doesn't listen.He also seemed to say that although Liu Han had great achievements, he was already in his seventies and eighties, so it would be better to give him a good death, but Murong Qi didn't listen after all.It's no wonder that the history books gave him the word "Li", and he deserved it.

Thinking of this, he spit on himself a few times in his heart, this is going to die, what else do he want to do.What can Murong Qi think about as a half-grown child, even if he is perfect and handsome in a few years, it has nothing to do with him.He knew that he didn't like Rong Guifei Liu Yan, and maybe even didn't like women, but he didn't seem to see him getting close to other men, which was a bit confusing.Um, he has thought about so many things, why hasn't he seen the dark scene fall, and then his soul escaped.

Jingdu Lieutenant was startled by the blood splattered by him at first, and was yelled by Liu Yu grabbing the skirt of his clothes. When he broke away from Liu Yu's hand and took Feng Yan's pulse, the blood on Feng Yan's neck had already It penetrated half of the skirt, he took a closer look, and said with a sigh: "It's okay, it's just a skin injury."

"Here, so much blood has been shed here, and it can still be a skin trauma! You quack doctor, will you look at it?" Liu Yu said angrily.

Feng Yan suddenly felt like a dream, and asked, "Why don't you feel pain?"

"Oh," Jingdu Weishou put away his long whip and said, "Some anesthetics were applied to the tail of the whip. This is a little hobby for the enemy and us. If you hurt the opponent, you won't feel anything for a while, and you will let go when you don't know it. After the blood is dried, the prisoner will be captured without a fight, so you won't feel the pain. In other words, why are you running so hard that you didn't commit a crime, do you know that person?"

Feng Yan lowered his head in embarrassment, and then nodded. Just as he was about to speak, a voice suddenly came from not far away, "This is not General Feng, what's wrong, this is it?"

Feng Yan looked over in a blink of an eye and saw that it was Shen Ruoli, the Ting Wei who had settled the case in Meiyuan a few days ago. He cupped his hands and said, "Master Shen, don't come here without any problems."

"I'm safe, what's wrong with you?" Shen Ruoli looked thoughtfully at Liu Yu who was standing behind Feng Yan, then at Wei Shou Duan Liyi and asked, "Master Duan, what is this?"

Duan Liyi put away his whip, and said a little embarrassedly: "I am reckless in this matter. Since it has nothing to do with you, why are you running away? I will find someone to take you to the hospital for bandaging. The case is urgent and there is no delay. I will go to Cui's house first. one trip."

"It's just a flesh injury. It's not a serious problem. I'll just go back to the mansion and take care of it. Don't bother." Feng Yan arched his hands and bowed to Shen Ruoli again.

Shen Ruoli said: "Let me bandage you, I still have some things to ask the Major General. You must have seen who the person under the river is."

Feng Yan was silent, and the lingering haze in his heart surged up again. He nodded and said: "Master Shen leads the way." Then he said to Liu Yu: "You go back first, and we can make an appointment at another time."

Liu Yu looked at Shen Ruoli, hesitantly, and said to Feng Yan: "Tingwei is just a few steps away, I'll wait for you, I have nothing to do with you, I haven't finished chatting with you yet."

Shen Ruoli looked at the expressions of Feng Yan and Liu Yu, and his brows twitched inaudibly.Looking at Feng Yan's expression just now, he seemed to know something, but whether this knowledge can be brought to the surface is another matter. The intrigue among the aristocratic families is far more complicated than the trivial matters among the common people.In the past few years he has been a Tingwei, most of the shocking people he has seen and heard come from aristocratic families.

Just like the Meiyuan incident a few days ago, although he didn't know who the ultimate murderer was, he could tell from various signs that the perpetrator had some unusual hobbies, and liked to commit violence against the recipient during the love process , enjoy the sensory experience brought by total control.The servant girl's neck, back, chest, and legs all had obvious bruises, and the marks overlapped one after another. After death, the bruises covered her whole body, which was very terrifying.The neck is the most serious. Not only are there traces of repeated pinching and twisting, but the fatal injury almost broke the neck.

"By the way, I heard that His Highness the Eighteenth Prince was frightened and fell ill after returning to the palace. I don't know what's going on now?" Shen Ruoli asked inadvertently. The Samurai should know better than him.

Feng Yan was taken aback, and asked: "Ill?" Looking up, he caught a glimpse of Shen Ruoli's surprised eyes, and explained: "Your Highness has not resumed classes so far, so I have never seen His Highness, and I don't know about his condition."

Shen Ruoli nodded and said no more.When he heard about it, he asked Feng Yan carefully for more than half an hour, but seeing that he couldn't ask anything, he got up to see off the guest.Walking to the gate of the yamen, Shen Ruoli instructed in the usual way to treat suspects: "Major General, please don't leave the city for the time being. If Tingwei's Mansion finds any doubts related to the Major General, it will go to the mansion for verification."

He was heard clearly by Liu Yu who was guarding the door all the time. He frowned and said, "What are you doing, Lieutenant Ting? This case obviously has nothing to do with him. Even if you spend more than half an hour, you can be sued for dereliction of duty." crime."

"Oh," Shen Ruoli smiled instead of anger, straightened his clothes and asked with his hands behind his back: "I rank second in the law of the Tingwei Yamen, and no one dares to rank first. May I ask the major general which law I have violated?" , can punish the crime of dereliction of duty."

"You!" Liu Yu was very angry, "It's amazing to understand the law, isn't it just a little court officer, I can beat you up in minutes!"

Shen Ruoli's fox eyes could bring out a smile even when he was not smiling, and when he smiled, his brows were even more youthful. He raised the corners of his lips, and scrutinized Liu Yu from top to bottom with his eyes. His eyes were piercing, Goosebumps all over Liu Yu's body, and Shen Ruoli sneered, "It's up to you?"

Liu Yu rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush forward, but was hugged by Feng Yan's waist, his arms were stretched out, trying to grab Shen Ruoli, and punched his fox eyes that deserved to be punched twice, and said angrily: "Scholar It can be killed but not humiliated, let me go."

Shen Ruoli saw that Liu Yu would not be able to rush over for a while, so he brushed off his clothes, turned around and entered the yamen, and closed the door neatly.

Feng Yan hugged the cursing Liu Yu out of the yamen, just as he ran into Duan Liyi, the head of Jingdu Wei who was returning to the yamen. Feng Yan cupped his hands and said, "Master Duan." Duan Liyi raised his hand and returned the salute. Seeing Liu Yu's aggressive appearance, he asked: "How is this going?"

Feng Yan smiled helplessly, but Liu Yu said angrily, "This Shen Ruoli is so arrogant, isn't he the little Tingwei?"

Duan Liyi showed a slightly strange expression, looked at Tingwei's tightly closed yamen and said: "Master Shen, it's better for General Liu not to mess with him."

Liu Yu said unconvinced: "Look at his coquettish appearance, what's so great about it? I just don't believe it."

Duan Liyi couldn't help laughing when he heard the word "coquettish".Thinking about it carefully, Shen Ruoli's romantic air is really the same, he said: "Master Shen was born in Haihunhou's Mansion, although he was born in a concubine, he is the best of the Shen family in this generation. In the year of Shu Guan, he served as the head of the Tingwei Mansion, and in the Tingwei Mansion and the Jingdu Lieutenant, this Master Shen is already a legend."

Liu Yu couldn't believe it and said, "Could it be that his martial arts are better than yours? With that body, those legs, it looks like he can't even do a horse stance well, he's full of bookishness."

Duan Liyi said with a blushing face: "It's a shame that Mr. Shen ranks second in terms of martial arts among the two lieutenants. I'm afraid no one dares to rank first."

"So powerful!" Liu Yu exclaimed in shock. He had seen Duan Liyi's skills before, and Shen Ruoli was even more powerful. How powerful would that be?So he wiped his forehead. Fortunately, Feng Yan stopped him just in time, otherwise he wouldn't know what it was like to be beaten.The three of them said goodbye at the door, and Feng Yan and Liu Yu walked back. At that time, the moon was in the middle of the sky, and the moon and stars were few. Feng Yan's heart was gloomy, and the sky was high and the earth was wide.

In the Purple Light Hall, the dusk was heavy, and the hall seemed indifferent and silent. Murong Qi was lying on the couch, holding a pen in his right hand, his eyes stared at the calligraphy for a long time without blinking, his face was flushed unusually, and his lips were dry. Skinny, but a pair of slanted eyes are radiant, which is extremely incongruous with the sick appearance.

Fu'er stepped into the hall lightly, walked to the side of the couch with a white jade lamp in her hand and said softly: "Your Highness, it's time to take medicine, let's practice after a while."

Murong Qi didn't change his expression, and asked lightly: "Is there a statement?"

Fu'er shook her head and said: "I haven't seen you in the past few days, it means that the young general will not go to the northern border in the near future, besides, he has also received an errand from His Highness, so if you don't know how to leave, let's go."

Murong Qi pursed his lips, did not answer, put down his hair, picked up the white jade cup and drank the medicine neatly, put down the cup only to see a small plate of oily cliff honey next to him, was in a trance for a moment, raised his eyes and said: "I will not drink it in the future." Need this."

Fu'er agreed, packed up and went out, only to come in after a while, hesitated to speak, just looked at Murong Qi.Murong Qi didn't notice it, slowly picked up the brush, and practiced calligraphy seemingly without distraction.

Fu'er was really anxious, but she was afraid of Murong Qi's rebuke, so she could only stand aside and stare blankly. After about a moment, Murong Qi raised his head, dropped his pen and said calmly: "It's meaningless to compete with him, just tell me. "

"Your Highness, the secret guard came to report that the Major General..." Fu'er paused, thinking about how to make His Highness less worried.

Murong Qi was startled, no longer calm and calm just now, he hurriedly walked two steps to him and gasped, "What's wrong with him? Tell me!"

Fu'er hurriedly said: "The secret guard said that the young lady of the Cui family was drowning in the moat, and she happened to be seen by the major general. The major general got angry and fought with Captain Jingdu, injured her neck and bled a lot."

Murong Qi took a deep breath and said: "How is the injury, can it be diagnosed and treated in time?"

"It's just a skin injury, it's not a serious problem." Fu'er said, supporting the crumbling Murong Qi to the side of the couch, "Your Highness is just recovering from a serious illness, so you can't worry about it. The major general has hidden guards to protect him, so it shouldn't be a serious problem."

Murong Qi closed his eyes to resist the nausea caused by dizziness, took a deep breath, and said after a long while: "Let the dark guard go and receive the punishment, and call the two people over again."

"Yes," Fu'er replied, hesitated for a while and said, "There are only three people around His Highness, call two of them, is His Highness safe?"

Murong Qi closed his eyes and didn't speak again, Fu'er backed away silently.

The author has something to say:

Of the few sentences Feng Yan said, one of them was probably a big mistake. Cui Liner, his cousin, he likes very much... baahahaha, although His Majesty is young, he is already a big jealousy!
