A few days later, the Mausoleum Palace finally ushered in an imperial decree.

Xiao Weixin knelt at the door, kowtowed his head respectfully, and then got up to receive the order, his face was so steady that no flaws could be seen, he ordered someone to take the old eunuch who read out the imperial edict down to receive the reward, while he took the order Daoming Huang Shengzhi walked into the study.

You Shu has been waiting for a long time, and said in a low voice: "My subordinates congratulate the prince."

Xiao Weixin raised his head to see him, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Xiao Shu, I will go to court tomorrow."

As a prince, in fact, he has always been an official these years, but it is just a few idle jobs, and he has an empty name to pay for the official salary. He basically does not need to go to court to deal with anything, but Xiao Weishen's imperial decree It is equivalent to giving him a stepping stone to directly enter the imperial court. Although he is only a small and too ordinary Shaoqing, since Xiao Weishen intends to use him, he will definitely be placed in the center of power in the future.

And after waiting silently for so many years, he finally saw a little hope. As long as he can get close to the power center, it will be easier to use his hands and feet in the future.

You Shu is also happy for him.

Xiao Weixin pushed open the window of the study, and a beam of sunlight came in from outside. He looked up at the clear sky above, and felt happy.

It is already April.

With Xiao Weixin starting to go to court, You Shu's time is more free than usual, they don't have to follow them to the palace, but the tasks have not been reduced because of this, the lord Yingshou gave them more tasks than usual , because this period is no longer dormant.

There are hundreds of ministers in the DPRK and China, a small number of them are inserted by Xiao Weixin, some are just on the fence, and some are old and stubborn. These old and stubborn people are the obstacles in Xiao Weixin's way to seize the throne in the future.To deal with this group of people, those who can be wooed will be wooed, and those who cannot be wooed will be eradicated.

What the Shadow Guards have to do is to collect their weaknesses, use their weaknesses to get rid of them one by one, so that Xiao Weixin can smoothly deploy his own people.

Ying Ba sighed, and ran to find his brothers early in the morning, with a bitter expression on his face: "I've counted this trip, and if I go and never return, it's a dead sign."

"Pull it down." Ying Jiu rolled her eyes alluringly, "You didn't say that when you went out, and you didn't come back with all your beard and tail."

Yingba had a sad face: "This time it must be true, the hexagram shows that I have no bones left."

"I still have 50 taels of silver on hand, you can share it for me." He said melancholy, "I don't have a good friend, so I put it there, so I might as well keep it for you. If you are interested, give it to me next year." Set up a grave, burn some paper money occasionally, don't let me be a lonely ghost, it's not in vain for us brothers."

Everyone is from the Shadow Guards, and they are used to seeing life and death, not to mention that Ying Ba has to do this every time he goes to work, even if it is true, they will not be surprised, it is just death, to them It's only a matter of time.

You Shu was also allocated a few taels of silver, which weighed heavily, and he promised: "Don't worry, if there is a day, I will remember to burn incense for you."

Yingba stepped forward to hug him with tears in his eyes, "I knew that the third child is the most reliable!"

"I am leaving."

Ying Ba wiped away his tears, turned around and rode away in the dust. He was going to Huzhou for a trip, and he would not be back in a short time.

Seeing the people walking away, Yingjiu and the others turned around with playful smiles, what should they do.You Shu knew that they looked like they didn't care on the surface, but they were actually feeling uncomfortable in their hearts. It's just that everyone is used to not showing their emotions outside. I hope Yingba can come back safely.

Sometimes Xiao Weixin is not at home, and You Shu is running around with Ying Er outside, and it is inevitable that some human blood will be stained with the knife in his hand. He just calmly wipes off the blood on the sword, and then devotes himself to the next task.

Xiao Weixin didn't drink with his colleagues after he went to court, and sometimes after a day of official duties, he would always miss the little shadow guard, and would come back early to see him, while You Shu would wash off the bloody smell on his body, and then eat with him as usual .

Although he thought he had no flaws, Xiao Weixin still noticed the slight melancholy in his eyebrows.

"But something on your mind?" Xiao Weixin asked with concern.

You Shu put down the bowl and chopsticks and shook his head: "It's nothing, the subordinate may be a little tired."

Xiao Weixin also knew that the Shadow Guards had made big moves recently, that the court was treacherous, Prime Minister Xia didn't dare to target him explicitly, but he didn't pay much attention to him, he was in urgent need of manpower, so he could only pick some seemingly Insignificant little people to start with, just in case.

"After this period is over, I'll let you rest for a few days." Xiao Weixin was used to serving him food, and said gently.

"Thank you, my lord." You Shu nodded, he wasn't really tired, he just got tired of killing people frequently these two days, but he couldn't tell Xiao Weixin these words.

The road to the emperor has always been paved with blood, if Xiao Weixin's hands are clean, he will never be destined for that seat, and You Shu, who is determined to follow him, will inevitably be stained with blood.He can also understand Xiao Weixin's helplessness, even though killing people is not his wish, he is willing to be his sword.

Maybe it was because of the boredom in his heart, You Shu couldn't help but drank some wine.It's easy to get addicted to drinking alcohol, and if you don't pay attention, you drink too much. When he realizes it, he is already slightly drunk, but his mind is still clear.

Xiao Weixin didn't understand what was going on in his mind, he almost indulged him in drinking like this, the two drank silently in the bedroom, but the food didn't move much.

After drinking for three rounds, Xiao Weixin was also a little drunk.

"Xiao Shu..." He propped his chin with his left hand and kept staring at You Shu under the lamp. His cheeks were a little flushed, his eyes were not as clear-headed as usual, he looked at You Shu and didn't speak, just murmured his name.

You Shu was just slightly drunk, not really drunk, hearing Xiao Weixin whispering his name non-stop, he answered every call, but he never saw any orders from him, it seemed that he just called himself unconsciously.

"My lord drank too much." You Shu sighed, stood up and took down the wine glass in his right hand on his own initiative, and said softly, "I can't drink any more."

Xiao Weixin didn't respond when someone took the wine glass away. Everyone's state of drunkenness is different. Some people cry loudly, some go crazy, some are quiet, some fall asleep. Xiao Weixin doesn't lose his composure after drinking. The person seems to be sealed by some magic power, showing a slow-response appearance. He doesn't respond to others talking to him, and he will stare at you stupidly, which is completely different from the usual desolate and aloof appearance.

No, you can't, You Shu, you have to be steady, you can't attack the prince just because he looks cute and cute at this time.

Otherwise, he will die when he sobers up.

You Shu pretended to be calm, but his eyes peeked from time to time.

No wonder the ancients liked to "look at beauties under the lamp", and the more they look at them, the more energetic they really are.Xiao Weixin's cold white skin shone like white jade under the candlelight, his eyes were dazed and hazy, but the corners of his mouth kept twitching, he looked a little more amiable than usual, no longer the inaccessible fairy tale.

You Shu peeked at it for a while, remembering what he said last time in the temple because he was trapped by love, and became more and more curious about what kind of person could refuse such a good-looking him.

"Xiao Shu..." Xiao Weixin started to mutter to himself again, "You are so pretty..."

You Shu was a little embarrassed, put down his wine glass and boasted to each other: "The prince is born well."

"Really?" Xiao Weixin asked him confusedly, "You think so too?"

You Shu coughed lightly, his ears turned red: "Yes."

Xiao Weixin smiled, and he raised his hand skillfully to slide back and forth on You Shu's face, from his eyebrows to nose, to his mouth, that slender white finger felt slightly cool, and kept lingering on his mouth, refusing to leave , as if there was something attracting him there.

You Shu felt his mouth itchy, but he didn't dare to take his hand away.

Alas, the prince likes to touch his face all the time these days. Could it be that he is really so good that people can't put it down?

Xiao Weixin withdrew his hand reluctantly, and whispered: "I'm a little drunk, help me to bed."

"Yes." You Shu got up and carefully helped him up, trying not to let any skin touch his body, holding his breath, and gradually moved him to the side of the bed.

Xiao Weixin just looks weak, but his weight and height are not worse than other men. You Shu is half a head shorter than him, and it is really hard to support a fully drunk adult man. There is only a screen between the table and the bed. , but he felt that his shoulders were extremely heavy, and Xiao Weixin's whole body put the weight on him.

After finally helping him to lay flat on the bed, You Shu got up again and poured him a glass of warm water, and helped him drink a glass.But the drunken people refused to cooperate at all, and the water would flow out of the mouth when it was fed to the mouth, and half of the blanket was wet.

You Shu sighed, had no choice but to put down the teacup, took another clean blanket from the cabinet to cover him, and asked tentatively, "My lord, do you want to rest first?"

Xiao Weixin looked at him blankly, as if he didn't understand what he was talking about. Seeing him like this, You Shu guessed that he must have been drunk, thinking that he should just fall asleep and not bother him. .

After covering the quilt, he was about to leave, but just as he took a step, he found that his clothes were tightly grasped, and when he lowered his head, he saw Xiao Weixin's hands holding onto his clothes, and he was staring at himself Muttering: "Xiao Shu, don't go."

The voice was soft and light, with some indescribable temptation in it.

You Shu's ears were itchy, so he had no choice but to sit back obediently.

What should I do, my prince is so beautiful, I really want to poke his face.

No, you have to hold back, this idea is abnormal, You Shu, you can't do this.

This is against the international norms of straight men.

Just when he restrained himself in wild thoughts, Xiao Weixin suddenly pulled him down vigorously, You Shu was unprepared and fell on him with an unbalanced center of gravity, and was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.

It's over, you won't be beaten to death, right?

He was about to get up quickly, but found that his waist was tightly bound by someone. Before he could figure out what was going on, there was a warm and soft touch on his lips.

You Shu's eyes widened, unable to receive the current information.

He saw Xiao Weixin's face close at hand, his nose was next to his own, and his lips... were also next to his mouth.

Xiao Weixin just gently covered his mouth with his mouth, and didn't take any further offensive actions, just like a clumsy child, he was gentle and cautious, probing carefully, as if he was afraid that he would get angry.

You Shu was hugged tightly in his arms and forgot to struggle, for a moment he almost thought he was dreaming.

I don't know how long it took, Xiao Weixin seemed to be sleepy, he quickly closed his eyes, and let go of the hands around his waist, breathing long and softly, he must have really fallen asleep.

You Shu immediately broke away from his embrace, and ran out in a daze, almost tripping over the screen, his reckless behavior was completely out of his character.

And just as he walked out of the room, Xiao Weixin, who was already drunk on the bed, opened his eyes, his eyes were clear, and he didn't look like he was drunk at all.

He raised his hand to touch his lips, and sighed slightly.

It's so stupid.
