"Apologize—excuse me, can you talk about Si elder brother later? The young master is taking medicine."

Just when the atmosphere finally calmed down, Lian Zhen's plain voice suddenly came from outside the window.Yin Qi was almost choked by himself and coughed again. He stood up in horror and stared at him, only to see Lian Zhen walking in with a bamboo tube of medicinal soup.As if he had never seen Yinzhen standing beside him, he calmly poured the decoction into a bowl and handed it to him: "Young master, the imperial doctor said that the medicine should not be cold, otherwise the potency will be half. I have no choice but to disturb the young master and the fourth elder brother." Heart to heart, Lian Zhen pleads guilty."

The size of the imperial physician is your father who dispenses the medicine!Yinzhen glared at him resentfully, and secretly sighed that he was worthy of being the son of the Seventh Master Uncle, took the bowl and drank the medicine in it: "You go back first, I have something to say with the fourth brother... "

"It's almost the end of what needs to be said—you should rest well, and the fourth brother will not bother you."

With the presence of outsiders, Yinzhen's expression instantly returned to his usual cool and indifferent.His eyes fell on the bowl of medicine of unknown effect, his heart shrank inexplicably, and he didn't have the mind to say anything more. He just stroked the thin brother's back, and said in a slow tone: "Today's Thing...forget it, just pretend that the fourth brother has never been here..."

Can you really forget it?Yinqi felt inexplicably sad in his heart, slightly lowered his eyes and responded very lightly, but the curvature of the corners of his lips could not erase the trace of bitterness.

I can't go back after all...

Seeing that the fourth brother only talked about it but had no real intention of leaving, Yin Qi couldn't bear to persuade him to go back and rest, and ordered Lian Zhen to go back first, then lay down and closed his eyes on his own.Yinzhen sat quietly on the edge of the couch, looking thoughtfully at the shadow under the lamp with slightly lowered eyes, the light in his eyes seemed to be a little dazed by the shadow of the candle.

Maybe it was because he was really tired, the young man on the couch had not been lying down for a long time, and his breath was already gentle and long, the quilt was covering his body obediently, but he no longer curled up unconsciously looking for someone when he fell asleep like when he was a child up.Yinzhen guessed that the bowl of medicine might have calming ingredients, tentatively lowered his voice and called twice, seeing that the younger brother was really asleep and unresponsive, his heart finally relaxed a little, hesitating gently He held the hand that was resting on the side of the couch.

It was frighteningly cold, and it made people feel uncomfortable in their hearts.Yinzhen put that hand between his palms, staring blankly at his younger brother who finally revealed a little bit of tiredness and weakness when he was sleeping soundly, and suddenly regretted today's recklessness uncontrollably.He buried his head deeply with a wry smile, and sighed very lightly: "Fifth brother, do you know that the year you went to the Shang study was the most difficult year for me..."

He was only three months older than this younger brother, and he had just left the imperial concubine's palace that year, and went to the Shang's study to study and practice with his brothers, and when he entered the Shang's study, he was picked on by the prince who always hated the imperial concubine Kneeled for a day.He was dull by nature, he didn't know how to please Master Wenda, nor how to get along with his brothers, he was afraid of causing trouble, and when he went back after being wronged, he didn't dare to tell his mother, so he could only study desperately and put all his knowledge away. All my mind is on my studies—but no matter how hard I try, I can't get even the slightest bit of attention from Huang Ama...

"When you came, I knew that you ruined your body because of your empress. I thought that you would be as eager as the prince to tear me into pieces, but you took the initiative to talk to me and pointed at me Laughing... Do you know? The empress never gave me a straight look, and the servants in the palace only knew how to bow their heads to serve, and that was the first time since I could remember——someone really smiled at me..."

Yinzhen murmured with a wry smile, caressing the closed eyes with his fingertips, but he just closed them, and a sense of confusion flashed in his eyes: "I don't know what happened, but that day I fell in love with you." I hid that candy secretly, and I was afraid that it would not be considered a good thing in your eyes...but you ate it so happily that you gave me that Luban lock——I sometimes even couldn’t help feeling regretful , if you hadn't used up that opportunity back then, and now it's used to tell you this matter, wouldn't you be unable to refuse..."

I don't know if he was disturbed by his touch, the child suddenly frowned slightly, muttered something vaguely, turned sideways and shrank under the quilt.Yinzhen couldn't help being slightly startled in his heart, he hurriedly stopped his voice, held his breath for a while, and saw that there was no more movement, he was slightly relieved, shook his head and said with a helpless wry smile: "Stinky boy, I'm used to being scary all day long—almost You were so scared that you forgot what you said next...Maybe there is only one chance today, so you can let Fourth Brother finish..."

"After that, the prince didn't know why he started targeting you and finding fault with you. In fact, I was also targeted by the prince for finding fault with you, but watching you being beaten that time was even more uncomfortable than being beaten by myself— ——I was even thinking at that time, if I can do whatever I want when I become a prince, then I will also become this prince one day. This way I can protect you, no matter whether you are a concubine or a prince, no one can touch you... "

"But you are much smarter than me, and you never seem to need the protection of others. Afterwards—with you, life seems to be getting better and better. As long as you are here, I seem to be able to be with my brothers I can talk and do things calmly, and even those servants don't seem to be so afraid of me... So that day when the empress said she wanted to find you before she left, I almost didn't think about it. I must never cause you trouble. Speaking of which, you were very weird that day, and I just thought it was——only you..."

Feeling bored before the words were finished, Yin Zhen shook his head and gave a wry smile, swallowing the half of the sentence back: "The night of the vigil was the second time I have tasted such a desperate and difficult feeling, as long as I close my eyes It’s the pale face of the empress. I hate her, but I don’t know whether I should hate her, and I even hate myself who can’t help hating her——if you weren’t there, I don’t know if I can survive that One night... I still remember that night you never closed your eyes, kept watching over me, and said to me——told me not to be afraid, with you watching over me, those ghosts and ghosts would not dare to approach me body……"

"I remember clearly - when you said that sentence, the sky was just dawning, the morning glow filled the sky, and thousands of brilliance were reflected in those eyes... It was that time, I couldn't look away. "

Yinzhen murmured and spoke slowly, and his eyes seemed to be soaked with gentle warmth: "It seems that no matter which time, you can hold me when I am most desperate, and later when I had a misunderstanding with my mother, It's also the same when I go down to the south of the Yangtze River - you know that the assassin will hurt you that time, how lucky I am to wear that sleeve arrow... When you go back, you will be sick. After hearing Huang Ama's words, I will Only then did I realize that you have such a deep heart hidden in your heart—as long as it can make you happy, what’s wrong with asking me to assist the prince? Even if you’re just an elder brother busy with errands all your life, as long as you don’t want to see that Brothers who fight each other, I would rather never fight for that seat..."

Finally said all the words hidden in his heart, even though he knew that the other party could not hear, Yinzhen still smiled lightly in relief, the last bit of hostility and demonic barriers in his eyes were all gone, leaving only a helpless look Soft and gentle.

I fell into a magic barrier for a while, and even forgot the most fundamental persistence and attachment.Since it is something this child is unwilling to see and accept, how can he insist on doing it?Brothers are brothers, it's better to stay together and be good brothers for a lifetime than to beg and persecute blindly, so that even the relationship is broken...

After guarding for most of the night, the sleepiness finally came up.Yinzhen carefully covered the quilt for the younger brother, then got up and quietly left the room, and gently closed the door with gentle movements.But he didn't know that the younger brother who was sleeping soundly on the couch opened his eyes the moment the door was completely closed, and slowly propped himself up from the couch, there was no trace of sleepiness in those eyes. .

"Come in, are you going to squat outside overnight?"

Yin Qi propped himself up and sat up, knocked on the window, and vaguely heard the rustling noise outside the window.Pushing it aside, he saw his guard leaping in nimbly with one hand on the window lattice, and silently knelt down on one knee towards him.

"Okay...get up, it's none of your business."

Yinqi rubbed his forehead helplessly, and didn't bother to close the window. The cool night wind woke him up a little, but his heart was still in a mess, he closed his eyes with a wry smile and sighed softly: "Fortunately." ——He used the Luban lock..."

"Master, don't worry too much, just rest first."

Tan Lang hesitated to persuade him, then carefully leaned forward and helped him lie back on the couch.Yin Qi relaxed his strength and leaned on him, slightly closed his eyes, and quietly recalled the words that person said - among those things, he still remembered some, but he couldn't even remember some of them.He couldn't even imagine that all the things he did had such profound meaning, and only when he was counted one by one, could he remember that they had gone through so many troubles together...

"Fourth brother is a pensive and easy-to-understand character. Previously, it was because I was the only one with him, and only the two of us could really communicate with each other. That's why he was like this—it will be fine in the future, when he becomes a family , accompanied by a caring person, and I put my mind on the court, if I run down more, everything will be fine..."

Yinqi murmured slowly, turned his eyes to the deep night outside, sighed very softly after a long time, shook his head in self-denial and said with a wry smile: "Anyway - I believe it..."

-

After a sleepless night, the next morning is a great gift for the army to return to court after victory.The Manchus were martial artists, and welcoming the memorial ceremony was also a very solemn ceremony. Brothers Yinqi and Yinzhen led the members of the Zhang family to welcome the coffin into the house, and there was also Prince Yu Fuquan carrying the inscription of mourning poems written by the emperor Long Live, which is already an endless honor.

To welcome the ceremony at noon, the tedious procedures alone will take half a day.Now that the weather is getting hotter, naturally it is impossible to bring the body back from thousands of miles away, so we can only temporarily replace it with a tomb, and later move the bones back to the hometown, so the rituals of the first seven days are skipped, and we just go straight to the mourning hall for everyone to pay homage to.Yin Qi had never been able to adapt to such a mournful atmosphere, so he dutifully led the ceremony, and personally burned two sticks of incense in front of the coffin, then found a secluded room and went in, swallowed two pills to nourish the lungs and protect the spleen medicine, hugging his knees and leaning against the corner quietly in a daze.

I don’t know if it’s the influence of his childhood habits, but he actually prefers those smaller and darker spaces, as if this way he can feel quieter, can think about his own affairs slowly, and no one will disturb him...

The thought was only halfway through, when the person who came to interrupt gently opened the door of the room inappropriately.Tanlang instinctively took a step forward, Yinqi's eyes could still see clearly in such light, he raised his hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes, propped himself up and said, "Senior brother, I'm a little tired, Rest here for a moment, and hope to forgive—”

"Brother, you must not say such a thing—today's event is too much to bear, and my brother went to greet the funeral in person before he recovered from his injury. My father was also very worried, and he repeatedly asked me not to let my brother get hurt. body..."

Zhang Tingyu hurriedly responded, put the lamp in his hand on the table, and quickly walked over to help him sit down in the chair.Yinqi raised his head and looked at his reddish eyes. Although he was not familiar with Zhang Tingzan, he felt bored and panicked, so he gently took his hand and said, "Senior brother, Mr. is old, don't let him go." I am so sad by this matter. The dead are gone, and those who come can be chased, and the days to come will be long..."

"Brother died loyally. Although the family feels hurt, they are proud of it."

Zhang Tingyu responded in a warm voice, the sadness in his eyes flashed away, and it turned into a warm and soft concern: "Brother, Tingyu dared to ask an irrelevant matter. Last night, elder brother and fourth elder brother... ...but what was the dispute?"

"Are you even alarmed?" Yin Qi sat up straight suddenly, and his heart tightened suddenly - if someone listened to something that shouldn't be heard, I'm afraid that the fourth brother would not only lose this marriage, but even Huang Ama probably couldn't explain it, "Brother, what did you hear outside?"

"It's nothing—it's just that my father wanted to come to chat with elder brother last night, but he didn't want fourth elder brother to be there, so he asked me to ask..."

Zhang Tingyu deserved to be ordinary, as if he couldn't hear the slightest difference, but Yinqi felt more and more anxious in his heart - the Zhang family had always been cautious and courteous, and never said something rash and inappropriate.Especially Mr. Zhang, who walks in the South Study Room all year round, and stays with Huang Ama, and will never do anything aimless: "Brother, we have known each other for so many years, and the two of us have done some shameful things—— Tell me the truth, sir, what is he listening to..."

"..." The senior brother who has often done shameful things with the fifth elder brother seemed to have received a lot of shock because of this sentence, his eyes were confused for a moment, and he coughed twice in embarrassment before saying: "Elder brother, don't worry about it." Worried, since my father doesn't even tell me, he will never say a word to the outside world... It's just because my elder brother has been with Zhang's master and apprentice after all, and he has always been clear and kind-hearted, so--specially pay attention to me Come and say something to my elder brother, 'Take a step back to open up the sea and the sky', as long as you withdraw in time, you will be able to calm down when you think about it..."

"I know, I was going to retreat, but it's just a step early or a step late."

Yinqi finally understood what he meant, she lowered her eyes and smiled helplessly, and raised her hand to pinch the hot flame: "When I finish Galdan, I will ask Huang Ama for an errand, go out to avoid it first." For a few years... But Senior Brother, you said that if I go out to hide for a few years - will it really be useful?"

Zhang Tingyu was just sent by his father to pass on a message. From the very beginning, he didn't know what happened. Naturally, he couldn't understand half a sentence, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and leaned over to salute: "Take me back and ask my father." , and then reply to elder brother..."

"That's all, I just said it casually - brother, you only need to go back to your husband when you go back, and it's enough for me to say, 'Got it, I'll leave at the end of July'." Yinqi laughed helplessly, and hurriedly stopped her This too sincere senior brother, "Please rest assured, Mr. Yinqi knows how to measure - I also thank Mr. for his love and protection. It's just that this matter must not be mentioned again in the future, and it must not be taken care of, so as not to cause trouble to the upper body..."

After giving Zhang Tingyu away after giving detailed instructions, Yin Qi rubbed his forehead and gave a wry smile as he watched the figure of the almost young man disappear around the corner, then closed the door and sat back in the chair with a complicated mood.

——Although it is true that he planned to leave a long time ago, he was pushed out by someone just now...

"Tanlang, do you want to hear a story?"

Suddenly, some complicated and subtle emotions came out for no reason, but it was hard to explain clearly.Yin Qi's eyes fell on the closed door thoughtfully, and he sat beside Tan Lang, recalling the plots he had played in his previous life for a while, and forced to talk about "my master once said Past Stories" series.

"Once upon a time——there was a man named Li Xunhuan. Once he was seriously injured and was rescued by a man named Long Xiaoyun. Then they went back to Li's house together..."

When it comes to acting, but when it comes to storytelling, a liberal arts scumbag who fails Chinese is not even as good as a high school student with slightly better writing skills.Yinqi bit the bullet and forcibly tampered with "Little Li Feidao", distorting it into a Long Xiaoyun who fell in love with Li Xunhuan, but Li Xunhuan's heart was filled with the young A Fei he had met in the snow, so he lost his fortune It is a story of wandering out of customs for ten years, and when Long Xiaoyun was besieged by the enemy, he returned with A Fei and retreated from the enemy's family, and the family lived happily together with Long Xiaoyun.

Feeling that Gu Juju's coffin might not be able to hold it down anymore, the former film star who was once a professional Gu Long professionally recited forgiveness ten times in his heart, and comforted himself. Inspiration - after all, he has changed the story so much that even Gu Long doesn't even know him. Presumably, even if it is passed down to later generations, no one will link these two stories together...

"Master has never experienced the world, but he sees the grievances and grievances of the world so clearly-could it be true that this happened?"

The honest and simple Tanlang didn't understand his master's intentions, and he was confused even hearing the story, so he could only grasp a few points and carefully understand one or two things in depth.After tentatively asking, Yinqi jumped up like a pinprick, desperately shook his head and said, "No, of course not!"

——It must not be, as a staunch Feihuan party, how could it be possible to admit that this pseudo-Longhuan cult is real!

Almost being distracted by his own guards, Yin Qi settled down, gathered his thoughts and walked slowly to the door, listening intently to the movement outside, and continued to forcefully say: "This story actually tells us—— As long as there is still that friendship in my heart, no matter what kind of friendship it is, no matter how far apart it is, whether it is bound by vows or not, sooner or later we will meet again in the rivers and lakes, and sooner or later we will be able to be a family again—— ——Actually, the brotherhood is stronger and more unbreakable than love, do I understand..."

Even I can hear the far-fetched and confused expression, and I don’t know if my fourth brother who is listening to the wall outside understands what I mean—every time I try to express something forcibly, it will make the situation more embarrassing , the former film star who didn't have a script only felt a deep heartache for a moment...
