great mandate

In the middle of the night, the lights in the room had long been turned off. Luo Jinyu was lying on the bed, tossing and turning, but never fell asleep.Until he heard the third watch knocking outside, he finally let out a long sigh that he was holding in his heart, then sat up from the quilt, looking at the empty place beside him.

This bed is too big for sleeping alone.

Almost three months have passed since Shen Wuji entered the palace again.

In the past three months, Luo Jinyu has not had a good night's sleep.

It's okay to be busy with official duties during the day, but in the dead of night, he misses Shen Wuji very much.

Now Shen Wuji is no longer in the hands of the Supervisor of Rituals, but just an eunuch, if there is no tolerance, he will not be able to leave the palace all year round.Especially in the first three months, Shen Wuji stayed in the teaching hall, so where would there be any tolerance?

Before Shen Wuji left, he also expected that Luo Jinyu would miss him, so he asked him to hug the pillow when he thought about it.

But Luo Jinyu hugged the pillow back and forth, but she didn't feel very happy about it.

How can the pillow compare with Shen Wuji?The pillow was cold after being left aside for a long time, and he could neither talk nor come back to hug Luo Jinyu.

Luo Jinyu hugged the pillow and sat for a while, the end of her eyes turned red unconsciously.

Although Shen Wuji always expressed his love to him enthusiastically, but Luo Jinyu felt that he couldn't do without himself.

At the beginning Cao Yuji diagnosed and treated him for depression, seeing that he was getting better gradually, and seeing that he was in love with Shen Wuji, so he mentioned a few words in a funny way, saying that Shen Wuji had listened to his words and thought that Luo Jinyu became ill because of his illness He was an idiot, so he avoided Luo Jinyu for a while, but after the two got better, Shen Wuji still made trouble for him.

But in fact Cao Yuyi was right, Luo Jinyu knew it well, she really had some... some morbid dependence on Shen Wuji.I haven't seen Shen Wuji for a long time now, he can hardly sleep or eat.

……

Shen Wuji wasn't asleep either, but he didn't think about Luo Jinyu.

It's not that he doesn't want Luo Jinyu, but that he really doesn't have any time to think about it at the moment. He is following Zhan Qingshui through the alleys in the palace, going to the imperial study room to divide the chapters, and then quietly go back to the teaching hall before the rooster crows and dawn, with his head wet. When he arrived at the pillow, his sweetheart had already fallen into a deep sleep as soon as he appeared in his mind, and was woken up not long after, to start today's homework.

The emperor has naturally gone to sleep, at the moment there are only Shen Wuji and Zhan Qingshui in the hall.

Zhan Qingshui is proud of this job, and he can't sleep peacefully every night, he has to pick it up and deliver it himself, and has to watch it halfway, and study by the way.

But he was more comfortable than Shen Wuji, the emperor thought he didn't sleep at night, so he let him rest more during the day.

At this moment, Zhan Qingshui looked at Shen Wuji writing a small note there, turned his head and looked outside, sat closer, and said in a low voice: "It's almost three months, so I'll transfer you to the Supervisor of Rituals."

Shen Wuji put down his pen, sighed, looked up at him, and asked: "I understand, you are really stupid."

Zhan Qingshui: "..."

"Look at the situation, return to the Supervisor of Rituals? Did I sneak here again at night? Are you addicted to staying up late?" Shen Wuji rolled his eyes, pointed to the stack of memorials in front of him, "Go directly to the imperial study and wait for an official. "

"Okay, you said it," Zhan Qingshui said angrily, "Then I'll tell Luo Jinyu that you said it."

Shen Wuji was startled: "Why did you involve him?"

"Isn't this being urged by you to go to your house every now and then to check on the situation? I chatted with him a few times, and he asked me to tell you that if the emperor wants you to make up your mind about everything, don't mess around." Yes, simply go to the Supervisor of Ceremonies, and do what you should do when you are promoted to the position of discussing politics, and don't overstep your authority." Zhan Qingshui said, "He is afraid that you will be caught by others, and you will be caught again. .”

Hearing this, Shen Wuji laughed, shook his head, did not speak, picked up the pen and continued to write the note.

Zhan Qingshui looked at him, and his voice became softer: "I think his worry is justified. He has not been idle for the past three months. He has been running around in the orphanage. I've heard he's not an easy guy either—"

Shen Wuji laughed lightly, without raising his head, he said: "Not only is he inefficient, he is like a pot of fire, burning up those who are ruined."

"Are you still proud?" Zhan Qingshui rolled his eyes at him and sighed, "If he hadn't been on guard earlier, there are many people around him secretly protecting him, and he would have been assassinated several times."

Shen Wuji was still writing, but the smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, replaced by a chill in his eyes, and he asked coldly, "Does he know?"

"It's probably because I don't know. I tested it when I was chatting with him." Zhan Qingshui said, "But now, he only takes one step out of a hundred. For some reason, he hasn't pulled out all the people above him yet. To put it bluntly, I first checked all the big merchants who traded with the orphanage's currency. Those who canceled the contract, those who fined money, and a bunch of them were arrested. The factory got the wind in the black market. The life of your sweetheart is worth more than a thousand gold. It is sold apart. The head is five thousand, the heart is three thousand, the hands are two thousand, and the feet are five hundred. His feet are the most worthless. I don't know why."

"..." Shen Wuji laughed back angrily, "Oh, our family's darling, is it worthless?" He suddenly changed his expression, and said, "Whoever bids the price, you go and pay our family double to buy them life."

"Come on, let alone now, even when you were the richest, no one else was rich." Zhan Qingshui said.

"Our family wrote you an IOU, you should pay it first." Shen Wuji said.

"What about the IOU? The IOU you wrote three months ago is still with me. No interest will be charged and I will give you a change, 20 taels. When will you pay it back?" Zhan Qingshui asked.

Shen Wuji: "..."

"Hey, do you still think you are rich?" Zhan Qingshui rolled his eyes at him, then slowed down his tone, and said, "In the future, I'm afraid Mr. Luo will have a harder time going. The orphanage is too involved."

"Which matter in court is not involved too much?" Shen Wuji asked lightly.

"That's why, that's why..." Zhan Qingshui shook his head helplessly, "That's why, even people who have nothing to do with the orphanage don't have much intention to sit around and watch the show. Seeing Luo Jinyu's intransigence Everyone is in danger. In the past, most of these things were not done for the so-called justice, but under the guise of these things, in fact to eradicate dissidents and practice party struggle. Therefore, there are intertwined interests, but there are many It's something to weigh, so I won't worry too much. But Luo Jinyu doesn't talk about the interests and favors, he doesn't talk about it at all, he just stays in a daze, black is black, and white is white... He is afraid that the blue sky will investigate in the future to your own head."

Zhan Qingshui looked at Shen Wuji, and said, "I'll speak for him too. You really have to think carefully about your future, don't rush in. Now your eyes are on Luo Jinyu, if you can't kill him secretly, just stare at him. But he There is really nothing to stare at, I see him almost becoming a fairy... just stare at you, Wuji."

……

After winter, the sun rises later and later, and Luo Jinyu lives far away. In order to catch up with the morning, he gets up very early every day. It is still dark, so he has to walk in the lonely city with a lantern and face the wind. On the road of no one.

Jun Tianci observed in secret for several days.

——Since sinking into trouble, he rushed to the door to show his hospitality, but was scolded bloody by Luo Jinyu, anxious and angry, vomited blood and passed out, lying at home for almost a month before getting off the ground.

He was a little afraid of Luo Jinyu for a while, so he only dared to look secretly.

But the more I watched, the more I couldn't suppress the love in my heart.

Luo Jinyu was walking on the road when he heard the sound of horseshoes Dada and wheels rolling on the ground with a thin layer of snow seeds behind him.He was already walking along the side of the road, so he didn't care when he heard the sound, and continued walking on his own.

But the carriage didn't go in front of him for a long time, but slowed down and followed him all the time.

Luo Jinyu felt strange, stopped and looked back.

Seeing him stop, the carriage also stopped, and the driver called him neither humble nor humble: "Mr. Luo."

Luo Jinyu heard that the voice was familiar, raised the lantern a little higher, looked carefully, and finally recognized that the groom was the one who often followed Jun Tianci, so she bowed indifferently, turned around and continued walking.

"Master Luo," Jun Tianci's confidant called him, "today the ground is slippery and the weather is freezing cold, why don't you get in the carriage and the master will give you a ride, he is also going to court."

Luo Jinyu really didn't want to talk to this person, but the other person opened his mouth. He stopped politely, turned around and said politely: "No need. Besides, the direction of Taiwei's Mansion is opposite to this place. If Mr. Jun didn't come here deliberately for me, I took the liberty to speculate, I apologize, if so, please don’t do it again in the future, I have said the words of rejection many times, I really don’t know what else to say.”

The confidant jumped out of the carriage, came to Luo Jinyu, looked left and right to see if there was no one there, and said in a low voice: "It's about the orphanage, it's inconvenient to talk about it outside, please invite Mr. Luo to get on the carriage."

Luo Jinyu glanced at the carriage and then at the man, although he was skeptical, he still decided to get in the carriage and hear what was going on.If they lied, he did it himself.

Luo Jinyu got into the carriage.

As soon as the thick cotton curtains were opened, hot air rushed in, mixed with a faint smell of medicine.

Jun Tianci's body always smelled of this medicine, it's not unpleasant, the bitter smell only made him look desolate.

At this moment, there were two warm cages that were almost airtight in the carriage, with thick mattresses everywhere, like a bed. Jun Tianci was holding a small thermos in his hand, and he was leaning there sickly. Seeing Luo Jinyu, There was some light on his face, and he smiled and said, "Zi Shi, please sit down. It's so early, have you had breakfast? I brought some pastries, which are still hot."

Luo Jinyu saluted him, sat aside, and the carriage drove forward again.

"I've eaten." I ate a bowl of porridge and steamed buns that I deliberately left last night, and I can eat it as soon as it is warmed up.

Luo Jinyu didn't intend to exchange pleasantries with him, and asked directly: "What's the matter about the orphanage?"

"Only by talking about these things will you be willing to sit with me and calm down." Jun Tianci said sadly.

Luo Jinyu said lightly: "I'm not calm at the moment, I don't want to be alone with you, but the orphanage involves official business, so I have to do so, please speak directly, Mr. Jun, otherwise Luo will go down here .”

Jun Tianci's heart has been nurtured for so many days, and finally healed a bit, and it was glued back together alive, but at this moment it fell to pieces again with a thud.

He looked at Luo Jinyu with resentment, and when Luo Jinyu was about to lift the curtain and get out of the car, he coughed and handed over an account book.

Luo Jinyu took it over and looked it over, Jun Tianci was still coughing non-stop, and the coughing became more and more severe, as if he would cough up all the internal organs in the next moment.

"..." Although he always coughed like this, Luo Jinyu still felt his heart pounding, and raised his eyes to look at him, "Will you feel better if you drink some hot water?"

Jun Tianci waved his hand, but still took a water bag from the side, drank a few sips, and gradually recovered.

Luo Jinyu continued to look down at the account book, he hurriedly flipped through it, and asked solemnly: "May I ask Mr. Jun where this account book comes from?"

"Of course I have my way, don't ask, I won't answer." Jun Tianci said directly.

Luo Jinyu hesitated to speak.

Jun Tianci smiled again and said, "Actually, I still have many similar things."

Luo Jinyu frowned.

"Has Zishi encountered a bottleneck in his investigation of the orphanage? If you search further, the clues are all broken, right?" Jun Tianci said with a smile, "Actually, you and I both know what's going on, but just say no." That's all."

"What do you want to do?" Luo Jinyu asked.

Jun Tianci stopped talking around and said, "It's very simple. Every morning, I will give you a message in the car. You don't need to do anything, just go to court with me in the carriage. It's so cold today." , It may snow heavily in a few days, and the road will be more difficult to walk. And I will see you off, so you can sleep more. "

"I don't need to sleep more, my wife is not at home, I wake up early." Luo Jinyu said this deliberately.

Jun Tianci sighed faintly: "Do you still want the clue?"

Luo Jinyu was about to speak, but Jun Tianci said coldly: "Don't reason with me, it's useless. You scolded me to death today, and I'm happy too, but you continue to be at a loss, watching those people sitting Gather money from a high position, but you can't do anything about it."

Luo Jinyu: "..."

"Zi Shi, you choose." Jun Tianci leaned back and looked at him confidently.
