As night fell, a voice sounded from the Youyou courtyard: "You're back?"

"The coachman at Chen Tao's house brought it back."

Prime Minister Lou flicked the incense in the censer: "This idiot wants to take revenge on me, which step do you think he will take?"

Lou Yan said: "My child doesn't know."

"Knock knock..."

Lou Yan looked towards the door: "What's the matter?"

An unexpected voice sounded outside the door: "It's me, brother."

Lou Yan instinctively looked at Prime Minister Lou, seeing that he still looked like an old god, knowing that he still didn't care, he said, "Come in."

The door was gently pushed open, and Lou Qing, dressed in blue, walked in with a tray.

"Father, brother." Lou Qing stood in front of them.

Lou Yan asked, "What are you carrying?"

If Lou Qing didn't know it well, otherwise he would really be deceived by this brother and brother's false appearance!

Lou Qing lowered his eyebrows and said, "I boiled some glutinous rice, red beans and white fungus soup, and specially brought it to my father and elder brother."

food?He remembered that Lou Qing's mother died of chronic ailments. "These things are done by servants, why do you need to do them yourself?"

Lou Qing smiled and brought barley, red beans and white fungus soup in front of them: "It is the child who is not filial and has not fulfilled his duty. This bowl of sugar water is indeed ordinary, but it is something that father likes. Grandma said that if the child can serve father Cook a bowl, and the father will be able to forgive the child." After he finished speaking, he looked at Prime Minister Lou cautiously, really like a child who cannot be forgiven by his father for doing wrong things and is careful to please him.

Prime Minister Lou said coldly, "Your grandmother taught you?"

Lou Qing nodded.

Prime Minister Lou suddenly said sharply, "It's ridiculous, your grandmother is very old, and you are bothering her with such trivial matters!"

Lou Qing kept silent like a cicada: "Father calm down, the child knows his mistake."

"Take it down, and don't do these useless things in the future."

Lou Yan watched helplessly as Lou Qing put two bowls of fragrant sugar water on the tray again.

Lou Qing's hand holding the tray trembled, but he forced himself to speak normally: "Baby, leave."

He is like a poor man who can't get good but is even more disgusted by others. He is obviously right but can't complain.

Lou Qing didn't bring the two bowls of sugar water to the kitchen, but went back to his room, he put the tray on the low table, his eyes were burning, but he was lost in thought.

He still remembered the day when his mother died of illness, the sorrow embedded in his bones, his mother had nothing wrong with it, she just married someone who shouldn't be married and took a life.

What are you afraid of?There is no other ingredients added to this bowl, which is all cooked by me every minute.

Lou Qing smiled suddenly, it looked weird in the night when the candles were flickering.

On the other side, as soon as Lou Qing went out, Lou Yan frowned and said, "But there's something wrong with that thing?"

Lou Yan couldn't believe it, Lou Qing was not such a reckless person.

"No."

"Then why are you..."

Prime Minister Lou smiled coldly, his usually contemptuous eyes seemed to be interested, and gave off a frightening light: "He is reminding me that I am not safe either."

This... Lou Qing became courageous, and Lou Yan took a deep breath. The person who was submissive and dared not take a breath in the past has also learned to intimidate.

Lou Yan suddenly felt it was funny. On the one hand was his father, on the other was his half-brother, they were all close relatives, but now they were killing each other, he couldn't stop him, he could only be a bystander.

Lou Yan didn't have a deep hatred for Lou Qing. He understood very well that the affairs of the previous generation had ended after the death of the two women, but Prime Minister Lou killed Wang Wanrong. With this move, the hatred continued.

So much so that at this point, Prime Minister Lou would not take Lou Qing's life, not because he was thinking of the relationship between father and son, but because Lou Qing had no influence on him. If Qing's actions crossed the line and endangered Prime Minister Lou, he would counterattack, and this counterattack was fatal.

It seems that this building is full of gunpowder after all, and it is extremely quiet.

"Why are you here?"

"Snapped…"

With the sound of this cold voice, Lou Qing didn't hold the Buddhist scriptures that he pulled out from the bookshelf, and it fell to the ground with a bang.

Lou Qing held two books in his arms, he leaned over to pick up the one on the ground, after picking it up, he patted it solemnly, as if to brush off the invisible dust.

"Grandmother wants to read the Buddhist scriptures in father's study, let the child come and get them."

Prime Minister Lou's dissatisfaction with seeing him suddenly was restrained by this sentence: "Go out."

Lou Qing saluted, and after walking two steps, Prime Minister Lou said: "Your grandma's complexion has improved a lot these days after you came back, so just stay with her and don't go out."

This was also the most pleasant and humane sentence that Lou Qing heard from him in the three days after that night.

"Baby knows." Lou Qing slowly exited the study, walked outside and closed the door behind him.

Prime Minister Lou retired later than yesterday, Lou Qing was very observant and noticed that Prime Minister Lou was frowning and he was in a bad mood, it wasn't that he provoked him again, could it be that something happened in the court?

Lou Qing thought for a while outside the door, he couldn't do anything about the court affairs, so he could only wait for Zhang Yuandao to come.

The source of news that Lou Qing wanted to get was at Chen Tao's mansion at this time, and the emperor was furious in the court hall, even Zhang Yuandao was affected, let alone other people.

When the two came back from the palace, although they were not as serious as the gloomy clouds, they were still in a delicate mood.

Zhang Yuandao was dressed in a bright red official uniform, sitting in Chen Tao's room, drinking the tea he made, and sighed: "These people can't live in peace? Do they have to provoke troubles and make people panic?"

The people he mentioned were the culprits who made the emperor furious, spreading rumors, and the more they spread, the more outrageous they became. Earlier, it was said that the first emperor had an illegitimate child, and the reason why he was left outside was because the first emperor wanted to protect him, knowing that the palace was about to bring disaster to Xiao Qiang and so on. …

There was indeed a palace change 20 years ago. The king of the South usurped the throne. It was suppressed by the [-]-year-old prince at that time, the current emperor, Prime Minister Lou and General Zhang who were still ministers of the Ministry of War. Once the throne was usurped, blood would flow like a river. Unavoidable, in that palace coup, countless civil servants, military officials, imperial doctors and eunuchs died.

Zhang Yuandao guessed that it was Nan Wang's old forces, but Prime Minister Lou said that Nan Wang's forces had been wiped out at that time, and logically it would not be him, so the dispute fell into a stalemate again.

Although Zhang Yuandao is the son of a warrior, what he has learned since he was a child is martial arts, not wielding knives and guns. He is not interested in these things of fighting for power and profit, and he hates them the most in his life. If it is not for that person, he would be the son of his general. Happy life.

Chen Tao said abruptly: "I'm going to say something outrageous. The rumors spread with caution. Have you ever thought about it? It's true?"

Zhang Yuandao's hand holding the cup tightened suddenly, and his voice raised a bit: "Shangxue!"

Chen Tao was startled by his almost scolding voice.

Zhang Yuan knew that his reaction was too violent, so he took a deep breath and put down his teacup, "If you know it's treason, don't say it again, lest you get angry."

"Feel sorry."

"I'm the one who got excited." Zhang Yuandao smiled: "I can't think of a reason why, why don't we go to the Prime Minister's Mansion and talk to Ah Xin."

Chen Tao agreed: "That's fine." Maybe Lou Qing has some opinions.

"Wait a minute, you changed your official uniform anyway, do you want the teacher to give you a salute and call Master Zhang?"

"I forgot. We are about the same size. You can lend me a set of clothes so that I won't have to go back home."
