I have a book to play

It was seven days later when Sun Peng was able to get out of bed and walk around.

Emperor Xihe ordered someone to send Xie Zhang's letter to release his wife.Sun Xian took the letter to release his wife and cried happily while hugging Sun Peng.

Since then, the Crown Princess Sun has completely become a thing of the past.

She is the first concubine to reconcile with the prince. She can imagine the public opinion she will bear in the future, and the pointing and pointing she will endure. But as long as she can be free, as long as she can escape the sea of ​​flames in the Eastern Palace, no matter what kind of future it is, she will be happy. All readily accepted.

Although Sun Peng still felt a little pain in his body, looking at Sun Xian who was crying and laughing, and laughing and crying, he finally felt that the pain was worth it.

He wiped away Sun Xian's tears, and asked Gou Qi, "Did someone mention the crown prince?"

"I mentioned it, saying that His Majesty has already punished the crown prince." Wolfberry replied cautiously, looking at the expressions of the siblings, he was in a hurry to make things happen, "Erniang, Qilang, let's not think about unhappy things. Little one I only heard about the case when I went to the street before, which is quite interesting."

"What case?" Sun Peng asked.

Wolfberry thought for a while, and gestured: "It's a family that moved to the capital half a year ago. It is said that the man in the family is older than Qilang. He has been different from ordinary people since he was a child, and he is as good as Long Yang. He returned to Beijing. Later, I met someone I liked, and I was afraid that my family would hate me, so I moved out of the mansion and lived apart from my family."

"The night before last, I don't know what happened. The father of the lord suddenly sneaked into the mansion of the lord at night. The lord was awakened in the middle of the night, thinking it was a thief, so he turned around and killed him. Unexpectedly, he didn't realize that the man was there until he lit the candles. Man is his own father."

Sun Peng was surprised: "How did Jing Zhaoyin solve this case?"

"Jing Zhaoyin didn't dare to break it, so he submitted it to the Ministry of Punishment instead."

Sun Xian frowned: "Why the Ministry of Punishment?"

"Because the father and son are relatives of the Wang family, Jing Zhaoyin is not from the Wang family, but he is also afraid of offending the Wang family if he is not careful. What's more, although the son killed his father, although it was an accident, it is against the law of nature. Jing Zhaoyin dare not judge the case. , had no choice but to hand it over to the Ministry of Punishment.”

Xie Chen came from outside the house, let the wolfberry back down, and then continued: "The Wang family is in danger now, anyone can step on it, but even so, Wang Youzhi and Queen Wang are still there, so they won't think that someone is really capable of moving Get them. The Wang family sent someone to the Ministry of Punishment to release the gentleman. The Ministry of Punishment refused, and sentenced the gentleman who killed his father to death for being unfilial. In addition, he dug out a lot from the man's mouth. news."

"what news?"

"The father who was accidentally killed by his son was the eminent monk recommended by Shang Shuling to the Queen Mother."

The father and son who had the accident were surnamed Tong, and both father and son had a bad character.

Tong's father is a scumbag, after having a wife and son, he shaved his hair and became a fake monk, cheated and abducted, and committed many things.Somehow, this person fell into the eyes of the Wang family, and even recommended by Wang Youzhi, he qualified in front of the Queen Mother under the name of "Eminent Monk".

It's just a sentence, he was rich and honored, and Xie Chen was ordained and became a monk.

"After leaving the capital that year, Wang Youzhi arranged for Tong's father to be a county magistrate. After Tong's father became the county magistrate, he oppressed the people in Yurou Township. Let's start. Half a year ago, Tong's father and son thought that the things of the year were almost over, and secretly moved back to the capital behind the back of the Wang family. The man Tong met this time really liked the person, and he moved out of the house thinking about living a good life. I didn't expect this to happen."

"This matter..." Sun Peng looked strange, "What's the reaction of Queen Wang and Shang Shuling?"

Xie Chen said: "Send a message to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to release people. Mr. Wang argued that he didn't know about it. Maybe someone acted in his name. To avoid suspicion, Queen Wang even said that she was sick and did not see others."

Sun Peng shook his head and said lightly, "Lord Wang and Queen Wang are smart."

"It's a pity that I met the Wang family's slow-moving guys. I'm afraid that Lord Wang wants to take care of this matter, so I don't dare to make too much of a move." Sun Xian's expression darkened, and she looked at Xie Chen, "Your Highness, Your Majesty already knows That person surnamed Tong was the 'eminent monk' back then?"

Of course I know.

Xie Chen has no official position yet, but no one will hide anything from him about the court affairs.Emperor Xihe intends to abolish the crown prince, and intends to let him and Xie Yu participate in the early court, so as to get close to the courtiers, so that he can successfully take over the position of crown prince in the future.

Because of this, Xie Chen was able to see all the reactions of the courtiers more clearly, without relying on his secret eyeliner.

Due to the special circumstances of the case of the Tong family and his son, the Ministry of Criminal Justice did not dare to settle the case lightly after it took over.Mr. Yu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, was a little tempered, so he brought the case to the morning court the next day and spoke out publicly.

In this way, it is difficult for Xihedi to wonder.

"The Wang family is likely to jump over the wall in a hurry, and I don't know if Mr. Yu is prepared."

Sun Peng couldn't help coughing while talking.

Sun Xian hurriedly poured water for him, and when she turned around, she found that Xie Chen had walked to the side of the bed in a few steps, and carefully helped him to lie down again. His expression was quite intimate, and her eyes widened for a moment.It wasn't until Xie Chen nodded and said goodbye that Sun Xian sat down on the edge of the bed and stared at Sun Peng seriously.

"Sister..."

"Qilang, tell my sister honestly, you and Your Highness..." Sun Xian gritted her teeth, "How can you be so close?"

She accidentally saw the scene of that beast Xie Zhang torturing the delicate, tender, delicate and well-behaved servant of the Eastern Palace, and she also knew that there was Yang Wei in the Eastern Palace, who was also a man and woman, and now she saw her younger brother and the man with her own eyes. With such a close attitude, it is inevitable to think about that.

When she saw that Sun Peng only smiled silently without answering, her heart immediately sank a little.

But she also understands that with Sun Peng's character, if he really has a relationship with Xie Chen... then it will definitely not be as close as Xie Zhang and Yang Wei, but really like that person.

"Silly Shichiro..."

"Ah."

"He's a man..."

"Ah."

"You are also a man..."

"Shichiro knows."

"Ugh……"

*****

Xie Chen went to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, but he really didn't come back at night.

At the second watch, Sun Xian blew out the candle, and led Balang, who hadn't played enough, out of Sun Peng's place.Before closing the door, the siblings looked back at the bed. Sun Peng was lying on the bed, his face pale, probably because he was tired from playing with Balang, and now he had fallen asleep.

Outside the gate of the Sun residence, a watchman was walking along the street with a lantern and beating drums.

In the dark, a few sneaky figures jumped out quickly, and then fell down quietly.

As soon as the watch drum of the third watch sounded, it seemed as if some dormant monster suddenly woke up in the silent capital, and the pungent smell of kerosene wafted from somewhere.

Then, a black shadow took out the fire folder, and the bright sparks rose in the wind, and the red flame was thrown directly onto the fire oil.

Needless to say, when the spark hit the kerosene, and the orange flame swept across the wall in an instant, those black shadows flew away like birds and beasts.No one knew who they were and where they came from, only the soaring red flame licked the base of the wall, then climbed up the wall, igniting wooden doors, plants and trees, and even enveloping others.

"Go to the water!"

someone shouted.

Then more and more people were awakened.Some people began to direct people to fetch water to put out the fire, but the fire was so fast that it couldn't do much at all.

When the tongue of fire licked the door plaque and looked at the word "Department of Punishment", the fire master who was in charge of the fire ban in Beijing finally rushed over.

The government offices of the Ministry of Punishment are all made of wood, and the sky is dry and the things are dry, so it is extremely easy to catch fire.And this time the fire came fiercely and suddenly, and when the fire master arrived, the fire had already surrounded most of the punishment department.

Before anyone rushed into the fire scene, they heard a dull sound coming from one side of the wall. In an instant, the beams of a house collapsed, and the smoke and dust rose high, which shocked all the onlookers speechless.

Blazing fire.

The fire fought against the wind, and the fire was blowing more and more vigorously, and it was about to burn half of the sky red.

The raging flames continued to rage, constantly devouring every building in the government office of the Ministry of Punishment, beams, roof tiles, flowers, plants and trees, no one was spared.

Someone from the Ministry of Punishment stayed on duty that night, and the fire burned to the night duty place, and they escaped quickly.The remaining part of the manpower, together with the people outside the house, fetched water to put out the fire.

Thick smoke billowed, flames soared into the sky, and the sound of gongs resounded throughout the capital.

The fire could not be extinguished for a while, so it could only prevent the fire from spreading and burn to surrounding buildings.

There was too much movement in this fire, and the Sun Mansion naturally heard the sound.The servants sent to inquire about the news came back quickly, and when they told about the fire in the Ministry of Justice, several gentlemen of the Sun family frowned on the spot.

"The fire is too strange, I'm afraid it was intentional."

"His Royal Highness is still in the Ministry of Punishment, so I don't know what's going on. Let's go find out."

"Don't let Shichiro know."

It was impossible for Sun Peng not to know that the incident was such a big deal.

But by the time he knew it, it was dawn.After listening to Balang's detailed description of the fire that could be seen in the yard last night, Sun Peng's face turned pale.

Especially after learning about the fire, Xie Chen still didn't come back, and the servants he sent out didn't see him, and Sun Peng couldn't sit still.

Sun Xian heard the noise, and hurried over to dissuade him, but saw that Sun Peng couldn't listen to anything at all, and wanted to go out no matter what.

She gritted her teeth and almost raised her hand to give him a slap to calm him down.

At this time, there was a lightning snake dancing in the sky that was always dark after dawn.

Not long after, dark clouds gathered, thunder rolled, and it rained cats and dogs in an instant.

"If the rain had fallen earlier, the punishment department would not have been burned like that last night."

Someone couldn't help but say something.

Sun Peng's lips twitched, he looked up at the rain falling from the eaves, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'll go and see...he's fine, I'll be back...I won't delay..."

Of course Sun Xian knew that he would not delay the matter.Not to mention that she wouldn't agree to let him run out regardless of his body before, even with the heavy rain pouring down, he can't act like this.

"You go back to the room first, let the wolfberry go find..."

Sun Xian pointed to Goji, and Goji quickly nodded in response. Just as she was about to pat her chest to reassure her, she heard the muffled sound of boots stepping through the stagnant water from behind.

The footsteps were so familiar that Sun Peng turned his head to look without hesitation.

The man was standing in his yard, his eyes were bloodshot, he couldn't tell whether it was from the fire, or from a night of hard work, and he couldn't rest. The robe on his body was also pitch-black in patches here and there, as if it had been touched by kerosene.

Sun Peng didn't move and didn't make a sound.

It wasn't until Xie Chen walked up the steps in the rain and stood under the eaves that he moved his lips and stretched out his hand to pull someone.

Sun Xian sighed, and ordered the subordinates to retreat, and then took Hachiro and Gouqi and left the yard.

There was no one else in the yard, Sun Peng slowly raised his other hand, and stroked Xie Chen's messy temple hair with his fingers, staining his fingertips with gray and black.

"Come in."

"Ah."

In the quiet room, the closed door seemed to isolate the world, leaving only this small space.

Sun Peng pounced on him suddenly, ignoring the man's drenched robe, grabbed him by the collar and pulled him down, followed by a clumsy and forceful kiss.

He has never kissed anyone actively, and he is as clumsy as a child learning to speak.

Xie Chen's shoulders trembled, and he reacted almost instantly, clasped his shoulders and never let go.

The kiss between the lips was more violent than ever, and Xie Chen could even feel the faint smell of blood between the lips and teeth.But he didn't know whether it was he who bit the tip of the boy's lip and tongue, or the boy bit his.

"Don't worry, I'm fine..."

It wasn't until the boy was so hot from the kiss that he finally let go of his hand a little.Seeing the boy's worried expression, he smiled, his chest heaving.

"It's the royal family."

"The matter of the 'high monk' was exposed, and the Wang family panicked. They did not hesitate to set fire to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to destroy the evidence. The prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice also caught fire, and several prisoners died."

Sun Peng opened his eyes wide: "That man..."

"Not dead. He was not imprisoned in the Criminal Department from the beginning. He is in my hands."

Xie Chen smiled, lowered his head and kissed the boy again.

Nibbling on the young man's soft lips and the delicate skin under the palm of his hand gave him the last sliver of sanity, and sank down after he finished speaking.

"Shichiro, let me hug you..."
