Your Majesty, please do not

"I dare not." This question was easy to answer, but after the statement was answered, the heartstrings were slightly twitched.

hate him?It was the first time he asked himself this question.Liang Huan's clumsy flattery naturally couldn't make up for the pain he caused at that time, but it didn't seem fair to transfer all the hatred towards Lin Weiyang to him now.

Forget it, if you think about what to do so clearly, it doesn't matter whether you hate him or not.

Liang Huan had expected this answer a long time ago, but he was still not reconciled. He leaned forward and stared into his eyes, his hands were trembling slightly, and his voice was the same: "Until now...do you not have me at all in your heart?" ?”

Chen Zhi didn't dare to think deeply about this matter at all, but replied mechanically: "This is not what I should think about. I only have loyalty to Your Majesty."

"Then..." Disappointment turned into despair, Liang Huan asked helplessly for the last time, "I am by your side, will I only harm you?"

His thoughts were stuck, his emotions were cut off, and the statement slowly spit out: "It is the minister who harmed His Majesty."

After he finished speaking, he waited for a long time without any response, so he raised his eyes and saw that Liang Huan turned his head to the side, and he looked lonely only from the side.

Seeing him like this, he made the statement a little flustered, he wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what to say to comfort him at this time, his voice was calm, but his heart was in a mess: "Your Majesty should find someone who can advance and retreat with restraint." Be with me, don't be as hard-hearted as the minister, it will only make you exhaust your energy."

However, Liang Huan was not comforted by these words. Instead, he twisted his expression and growled, "Go as long as you want, you don't have to worry about whether I live or die!"

Chen Zhi could hear the choking in that voice, even though he felt that he had done the right thing, he still couldn't help blaming himself.

He was afraid that staying here would make him even more sad, so he said hastily: "Chen's father is coming to the capital, I will go back and resettle, and I won't come here in the future."

Every word was frozen in infatuation, Liang Huan wiped his eyes casually, turned to stare at him for a long time, and finally nodded with difficulty.

Going outside, the statement is still somewhat unremembered.

With just a few words, that person was dismissed?In the future, he will never pester himself again?

It seems to be a few casual jokes, as if we will meet at the same place tomorrow.

But he knew that he would not go again.

The statement could not be said to be joy or sorrow, and his feelings for that person were too complicated, and he didn't dare to explore deeply, lest he would involve the old things again.

And looking at the current situation, it doesn't matter what I think, I should stay away from him, it's good for everyone.

When passing by the Yongzhou Guild Hall, he habitually glanced in, but was caught by the clerk at the door again.

"Mr. Chen, I was just looking for you! Your father is here, and he is still here with us. I don't know where you live..."

When Chen Zhi entered the store, the proprietress ordered the man upstairs to call for someone, and told him to sit and wait in the lobby.

However, as soon as he sat down, the proprietress came close to him, and said mysteriously: "Mr. Chen, a few students from the Imperial College of Yongzhou came to the store just now, and I heard them talking about you!"

Guozijian is the highest institution of learning in the capital city, where outstanding talents from the whole of Daping gather.Guozijian students talk about themselves?The puzzled statement said: "What are you talking about about me?"

The proprietress lowered her voice and said: "I heard them say that you colluded with the quicksand sect, forced to death the wife who hadn't passed the door, and destroyed the Daping culture..."

"Pfft..." The always steady statement also laughed out loud, "What is this all about? Is this about me?"

"You can still laugh?" The proprietress glared at him, "They said that your father often contacted people from the Quicksand Sect in Yongzhou. Many caravans came very close..."

The more you listen to the statement, the more helpless you become. The Quicksand Sect is a sect in the Chaduo country. Although I have heard of it, there is no intersection.He continued to ask: "What about the unmarried wife? Where did I get my wife?"

The proprietress raised her eyebrows, "So you're from the same state as the one in Yongzhou, whose surname is Zhou, aren't you engaged?"

Thinking of this, the heart of the statement trembled, "Miss Zhou is dead?"

The proprietress sighed and said, "It is said that she died for you, and her father complained everywhere, saying that you wanted to marry Chaduo, so you divorced his family, and Miss Zhou died."

Statement Zhi took a breath, Miss Zhou died for her own sake, is this true or not?He had only met her once or twice in total, but it was only a verbal engagement, so why did he die?Isn't he a sinner through the ages?

He frowned, feeling very disturbed, and heard the proprietress continue to say: "There is also the destruction of Daping's cultural heritage. They say it is related to the papers you will try to write, and they say that you wrote essays in the Imperial Academy..."

After listening to this, the statement rested on his forehead, what's the matter.

"Who connected so many things together? He also knows my parents, my fiancee, and the article I will try to write. Who can do this?"

The proprietress shook her head and said, "I don't know either, they all pass it on like this."

"Forget it," Chen Zhi waved his hand, "This kind of nonsense can be destroyed in one blow. Whoever likes to pass it on, no one will believe it."

"But……"

He was about to say something more, but he saw a tall old man coming down the stairs, he was wearing an ordinary cloth shirt, his face was wrinkled but he was hale and hearty.

Seeing a familiar face, Chen Zhi quickly restrained his emotions, smiled hastily, and called him: "Father, why are you here?"

Chen Suihan was naturally happy to see his son, but he didn't want to show it. Instead, he glared at him and complained, "Didn't you ask me to come? You're an idiot. After staying in the capital for more than half a year, you finally think of your father." ?”

Hearing the phrase "Didn't you ask me to come", Chen Zhi's heart tightened.At that time, someone told him to help raise him, but now that he is here, he can’t afford to support himself, so it’s better not to listen to him at that time, but to pretend that he didn’t hear it.

Chen Zhi took his father home, vacated the bedroom for him, and moved to the study by himself.

At night, he still couldn't hold back, and asked a few questions about Chen Xian's death, making himself miserable, and what happened during the day disturbed his mind and body, so he went to bed early.

Woke up in the middle of the night, and stated that he could no longer fall back asleep.He somehow came to the main hall, facing the only Buddha statue in the house, lit a joss stick, and knelt on the cushion.

The two lights could not illuminate his gloomy complexion. He remembered that night when he lost his soul, he was the one who held Liang Huan back and failed to make him make a timely decision, so those lives were innocently lost...

He takes his desires too seriously, more than the things he should be doing.Since you can't blame him, you can only blame yourself.

Although I don't know what I did to arouse his strong desire.But now the sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people is himself, so many lives, this sin, even if he spends his whole life, he cannot pay for it.

I shouldn't see him again, and I don't have the face to see him.

In front of the faint candlelight, amidst the ups and downs of cicadas and frogs, he was frail, with his clothes all over the floor, and he knelt like that all night.

At the end of June, even in the early morning, the sun is so hot that people can't help sweating.Although the wind blows from time to time, it is always hot wind. It is better not to blow than to blow.

As soon as Chen Zhi went to the inner city, he saw a group of people gathered around the gate, and he didn't know what they were watching.He was not interested at first, and walked straight in, but heard someone crying over there:

"...It's the statement from the Hanlin Academy. It's really not a thing. Colluding with the Quicksand Sect, forcing my daughter to death..."

I was taken aback by the statement, I didn't expect to hear my name in this kind of place, and the content...

He had no choice but to go forward and watch, through two rows of heads, he saw a middle-aged man over there crying with a coffin in his arms.

This person... Chen Zhi thought about it for a while, he had seen it before, Zhou Fu, a fellow from Yongzhou, almost became his father-in-law.

Look at the coffin again. Could it be that what the proprietress said is true, Miss Zhou is really dead?

His heart sank, and he had no time to think about why Zhou Fu would scold him at the gate of the city with the coffin in his arms, his heart was full of the person who died because of him.

He still remembered that when he saw her for the first time, he saw a gourd jade pendant around his neck, which was exactly the same as that worn by Hou Qingxiao.He went out of his way to ask, only to find out that Hou Qingxiao came to ask for marriage many times, but Zhou Fu scolded him back.

How could she die for her own martyrdom when she clearly had her own heart?

Chen Chen crashed into the Imperial Academy in a daze, and when Jia Xuan saw him coming in, he ran up and asked loudly, "Xing Li, did you see that old man at the door? He said you forced his daughter to death!"

Statement Zhi smiled bitterly, "I saw it."

"Then what should we do?" Jia Xuan was very worried for him, "He said that you colluded with the Quicksand Sect to divorce his daughter in order to marry a woman from Chaduo, forcing his daughter to die as a martyr..."

"Then do you believe it?" Chen Zhi said helplessly.

"Of course I don't believe it." Xu Gong raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "You are a good man with a bright future in Daping, why did you collude with the Quicksand Sect? Besides, what can they get from you if you collude with the Quicksand Sect? "

The statement nodded and said: "Such a simple matter, the listener can figure it out."

You are right when you think about it, even if the old man yelled at the door all day, no one with a brain would believe it.

However, many people have no brains.

Although his son was supposed to serve Lao Tzu, Chen Suihan stayed in the Hanlin Academy during the day, so Chen Suihan could only contract out the grocery shopping and cooking.

He was picking vegetables in a roadside market with a basket in his hand, and two aunts selling vegetables were chatting there, so he also listened:

"...It's just that there was a Jinshi last year in the Imperial Academy who actually colluded with the Chado people and wanted to betray the country!"

"Is this true? Daping Jinshi colluded with Chaduo people?"

"That's right, both his parents have connections with Chaduo, and the whole family is not a good guy!"

"Are there still such scum among scholars?"

"That's right! He not only betrayed the country, but also forced to death his unmarried wife. He is really worse than a dog..."

Chen Suihan listened for a long time, and when he heard the word "Hanlin Academy", he thought it was a colleague of the statement, so he asked casually, "What's the name of this person you are talking about?"

The author has something to say: Liang Huan: What can I redeem?Last time he liked rouge, why don't you give him flowers this time?Lipstick?Gouache?

Statement: ... If you don't run anymore, will you become a master of women's clothing?
