Omi had to sit up

Chen Shu was in a deep sleep, and didn't notice the movements around him.

The black shadow didn't make a sound either, he silently laid Chen Shu gently in the middle of the bed, leaned over and took off his shoes and boots and put them under the bed, pulled the quilt on the bed, and carefully covered the body of the person in front of him.

Normally, if someone was tossing around Chen Shu like this, he must have been alert and awakened, but this time it may be because the person who came was someone he knew well, but Chen Shu's slightly frowned brows calmed down slowly, it looked like Not as sleepy as before.

Hei Ying squatted down and gently stroked Chen Shu's forehead for a while, then turned around and left the room. When he came back, he had a basin of water in his hand, which looked warm with steam on it.

It was dark in the room, only a little moonlight penetrated.But the black shadow could see at night, skillfully wrung out the handkerchief soaked in hot water, and gently wiped the blood on Chen Shu's lips.

The dried blood finally melted under the hot water.It was probably because the autumn night was cool, and the handkerchief beside him radiated heat, and his head leaned gently against Hei Ying's hand.

Heiying's hands froze slightly. He hurriedly lowered his eyebrows to look at Chen Shu, but he saw that Chen Shu was still not awake at this time, but his lips parted and closed, as if muttering something.

He leaned closer and listened carefully, only to hear Chen Shu's very soft raving.

"Xie Zhen, Xie Zhen..." Chen Shu whispered, "I can't accompany you anymore..."

Soi Ying's hands trembled slightly, and he slowly clenched the handkerchief tightly.

This murmured sentence was repeated, and Chen Shu's voice became even lower.

"sorry Sorry……"

"Xiaowan, forgive brother." He murmured.

"..."

Hei Ying looked at Chen Shu, his eyes couldn't stop moving, he hurriedly wiped it off, but there were still a few drops of water falling down, like broken pearls under the moonlight.

Tears dripped down the pillow, making a soft sound, and one drop fell on Chen Shu's face and slid down his cheek.

"...Who?" Chen Shu, who was in a nightmare, finally realized that there was someone beside him, and asked with a frown.

In the middle of the night, who would dare to break into Jingninghou's mansion?

He raised his eyes with difficulty, and looked in the direction of the movement, but when he raised his eyes, he could only see the table and screen in the room, and there was no one in his sight.

Next to the table is a window, which is also half open like when he entered the room, exposing a round of bright moon outside.

It was almost the fifteenth day, and the bright moon filled the gap, and it was brighter than before.

Chen Shu stared blankly at the bright moon for a while, a burst of tiredness surged up again, and then slowly closed his eyes again, and fell asleep again.

His breathing gradually became stable again, and finally the black shadow hiding beside him slowly stepped out from the side of the bed. His hair was half up, and because his eyes had just been stained with water, it was as cold as a clear spring at this time, matching his handsome face. , it was Xie Zhen who came out of the palace.

It was not the first time he came to Jingninghou's Mansion, and he could find Chen Shu every time he came, but this time he didn't wake him up again, he just gently covered Chen Shu's hand exposed outside the quilt, and sat silently. By Chen Shu's side.

Dark clouds drifted across the night sky from time to time, blocking the starlight, making the room sometimes dark and sometimes half-lit, but Xie Zhen didn't move, as if time stood still by his side, and his whole body was like a statue.

He quietly listened to Chen Shu's breathing, until the faint morning light came in from the window instead of the moonlight, then he slowly raised his eyes to look at the rising sun outside the window.

Time has blurred in the long wait, the sunset and sunrise, and a new day arrives.

Xie Zhen looked at the morning light, and then got up again. He looked back at Chen Shu who was still awake under the morning light, his eyes showed incomparable reluctance and nostalgia, but he turned around, picked up the water basin and handkerchief, and gently pushed out the room. The door went out, and Fu turned around to close the door.

Chen Shu fell into a drowsy sleep, and only vaguely remembered that he fell asleep during the day yesterday, but he didn't expect that it had been a night when he woke up again.He didn't know how he got from the table to the bed, but the things in his room hadn't been touched by anyone, it didn't look like someone did it, it was probably done when he was unconscious.

After waking up, his head was still dizzy, but he was better than yesterday when his body collapsed. Chen Shu rubbed his brows a few times, got up and asked the maid to help him put on the court clothes.

Yesterday he got Xie Zhen's promise not to go to court, and then he returned home early, and he hadn't met Xie Zhen all day.He had something on his mind, and he was still afraid that Xie Zhen would be worried, so he went as usual when the morning came.

Along the way, he was thinking about how to reconcile Xie Zhen's farewell, so much so that when Li Yezhi greeted him when he got off the carriage, he almost ignored it.

"Jing Ning Hou has something on his mind?" It was difficult for Li Yezhi to cling to such a powerful figure as Hou Ye with his official position, but he and Chen Shu belonged to the same batch of Jinshi, and had a friendship with Chen Shu, and later got Chen Shu. Ti Xie has been the minister of the Ministry of Industry, so a few polite words are indispensable when we meet.

Today's Chen Shu seemed particularly absent-minded. Li Yezhi almost thought that Chen Shu was not in the mood to talk to him today, but seeing Chen Shu's words startled him, he suddenly looked at him in a daze, and then shook his head in denial.

"No." Chen Shu replied.

Li Yezhi: "..." Lin Chenshu, this place has 300 taels of silver?

Li Yezhi held the remonstrance card and thought silently, but he still gave a dry cough and comforted him: "Jing Ninghou, don't think too much. Although the emperor dismissed many officials yesterday, it can be regarded as sweeping the snow in front of the door for the New Deal. Your Majesty loves you, and during this time, no one dares to contradict Lord Hou, and the prince doesn't need to pay attention to those rumors."

Chen Shu didn't know anything about what happened yesterday morning, but when he heard Li Yezhi talking about it, he was slightly taken aback, pulled back his thoughts completely, and asked, "What happened yesterday?"

Li Yezhi: "..."

This time it was Li Yezhi's turn to be surprised.Yesterday, Xie Zhen directly resigned from a large number of officials. The reasons for dismissing and punishing those who went home for the elderly were all because of the Jingning Hou in front of him. As a result, the person involved didn't know at all, as if he had nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter.

He coughed again, but seeing Chen Shu's questioning gaze, he still recounted everything that happened yesterday morning.However, Chen Shu is the Marquis of Jingning after all, so when he narrated, he still described the original words of those people who slandered Chen Shu in a more gentle way, and only exposed it in a few words.

"Now the veterans of the two dynasties are all in danger, lest the emperor will be dismissed from office if he is unhappy." Li Yezhi murmured, "Thinking that the emperor was coerced by the three assistant ministers two years ago, everyone said he was an idiot. Puppet, but who would have thought that such a person would be so capable, no wonder he can deal with such a ruthless person as Qi Yanchu."

Only then did Chen Shu know what was going on, and he was silent for a while again, thinking that Xie Zhen's methods in the court hall might have been considered relatively mild. Back then, in Daqingshan and Di Yi's Tianshi Mansion, as long as Xie Zhen drew his sword, the past where no one is left alive.

He is obviously strong in martial arts, and he already looks like he is floating in the world, and he doesn't have to accommodate these complicated world affairs in the court, but he still comes here to drip the most filthy muddy water.

Chen Shu was silent in his heart, but still answered Li Yezhi's words on his face.Li Yezhi smiled when he heard the words, and suddenly mentioned that his child would soon be one year old, so he specially invited Chen Shu to sit down.

When Li Yezhi's child drank the full moon wine, Chen Shu hugged their child. The white and fat boy looked very blessed, but when he saw Chen Shu, he burst into tears and resisted staying with Chen Shu. At the same time, as if seeing something terrifying, Li Yezhi only said that Chen Shu would not hold a child, but seeing Chen Shu reluctantly let go, he planned to invite him a second time.

Now almost everyone in the court is well aware of the relationship between Jing Ninghou and the emperor. If these two people stay together, what will happen to the emperor's side in the future is uncertain, but Lin Chenshu, as a courtier, has been captured by the emperor. Looking at it this way, coupled with the previous rumors, I am afraid that it will be impossible to have any more children in the future.

Chen Shu smiled. He knew that Li Yezhi was warmly inviting him, so he politely said that he would leave for a while, and declined Li Yezhi's kindness.

Only he knew that he had raised a child, and under normal circumstances, he would never make the child cry.This reaction of Li Yezhi's child is likely to be due to the child's natural sensitivity to the six senses, and it is not unusual for him to realize that he has returned from the dead.

It was a pity for Li Yezhi to hear Chen Shu's refusal, but he still talked to Chen Shu with a smile, and when he was about to reach the main hall, he retreated properly.

Knowing what happened yesterday, Chen Shu really felt that the courtiers looked at him with a lot of fear today.In the early court, he read the prepared music one by one, and no one dared to object again.

Xie Zhen, who was sitting next to him, smiled slightly, and asked someone to bring a booklet for Chen Shu to check.

"This is the list of Jinshi in the imperial examination this year. I have read it. Marquis Jing Ning can also review one or two." Xie Zhen said.

Looking at Xie Zhen's smiling face under the jade beads, Chen Shu felt a ripple in his heart, and he was in a daze. He took the booklet from above and flipped through it. On the first page, he saw the name of an acquaintance.

No.3 on the first page, with the words "Ge Qi" written on it.

Ge Qi was a military adviser of the Saibei Army, and he actually came to the capital this time to take the imperial examination.

There was a hint of surprise on Chen Shu's face, but soon the sound came at the border. Ge Qi had also revealed to himself the regret of rushing for the exam for years but failed again and again. Now Wu Yanpo has the potential to become the new king of Diyi. In Dading, the new bureaucracy system was implemented in the court, and the old abuse system has been completely abolished. It is also the time for talents from all walks of life like Ge Qi to display their ambitions again.

He knew Ge Qi's ability. If these people would assist Xie Zhen in the future, he would be more thoughtful than when he was there.

Chen Shu smiled slightly, closed the booklet and said, "I have no objection, the emperor's implementation of the new policy, attracting talents and talents to contend with each other, there are already signs of revival."

Hearing what Chen Shu said, Xie Zhen nodded slightly, and asked the manager next to him to take back the roster.

After the imperial examination incident, the Minister of Rites appeared on the list and began to petition for matters related to the hunting in the autumn field. He was reprimanded by Xie Zhen for praying for rain before. : "Your Majesty, this year has come to the hunting season. I wonder if it will still be the same as the autumn field in previous years?"

Hunting monarchs and ministers together in the autumn field is an activity to reward military officers and soldiers. The first time Chen Shu knew Xie Zhen's identity was when he was hunting in the autumn field. He looked at Xie Zhen, but when he heard Xie Zhen ponder for a moment, he suddenly replied: " There is no need to be extravagant this time. In addition to the list of previous years, this time I called a few young princes from the Xie family to go together."
