Li Sizhi saw his own face from the clear pupils of the other party, almost exactly the same as the person in front of him.

Zhou Yanchuan.

He didn't feel lucky to know the identity of the person in front of him for the first time, instead he was thinking about what Zhuo Xuan had promised Zhou Yanchuan before.

It was probably because he was silent for too long and let Zhou Yanchuan talk on his own.

"Every time you go out to do errands for me, you always come back with an injury. You must know that every time you are injured, I feel very distressed. Yesterday you went to the inn for an appointment, and when you left, you promised me that you wouldn't take it. What happened?"

Zhou Yanchuan stepped forward, letting the snow-white veil fall behind him, and there were no outsiders in the room, but Li Sizhi had the illusion that he wanted to block outsiders from visiting.

After only a moment of distraction, Zhou Yanchuan's slightly cool hand had already landed on his forehead, gently brushing aside a strand of long hair that blocked his sight, and wrapped it around his fingertips in a circle.

Li Sizhi turned his head to avoid Zhou Yanchuan's touch, and lowered his eyes so as not to meet the other's gaze.

There was an obvious taste of weakness in the answering voice: "It's my fault."

Zhou Yanchuan's eyes flashed an unknown dark color, and he pinched his chin firmly with his hands, and turned his face back, gently and forcefully: "No, it's not your fault. It's Qingyun who didn't do well enough, I swear Said that nothing will happen to you, or let you come back from a coma. As my valet, how can he be safe and sound, and let the master be terminally ill?"

Li Sizhi's heart skipped a beat, what does this have to do with Qing Yun?

But facing Zhou Yanchuan's implicitly probing gaze, he remained unmoved: "Whoever your Highness says is at fault is at fault, I have no objection."

Judging from the current situation, he is still not Zhou Yanchuan's opponent. He has to bow his head under the eaves, and he needs to hide his strength and bide his time.

It is very necessary to show weakness to Zhou Yanchuan and paralyze this person's brain.

Zhou Yanchuan seemed to be pleased by him, the corners of his lips curved into a smile, and his hand fell on his lips very cross-border.

Slowly, the pale and colorless lips were kneaded into a light pink, and gradually turned bright red.

In Li Sizhi's increasingly uncomfortable eyes, Zhou Yanchuan threw him away suddenly, stood up and said coldly: "I hope you can remember who is your master, and what you promise to do, don't break your promise easily. Otherwise, it will be the people around you who will be dragged down."

Li Sizhi's heart turned a thousand times.

Zhuo Xuan and Qing Yun have a very good relationship?This is not mentioned in the detailed introduction of the system.

As he came into contact with Zhou Yanchuan, the situation became more and more confusing.

"Don't keep crying with a face similar to mine, it makes people feel bad." Zhou Yanchuan said.

The gentleness and politeness at the beginning were replaced by the exposed ruthlessness. Those who really achieved great things always had only themselves in their eyes.

Zhou Yanchuan not only achieves this, but also expresses his moodiness to the fullest.

Li Sizhi only felt that all he could do at the moment was keep silent, try to reduce the sense of presence as much as possible, and prevent Zhou Yanchuan from paying more attention.

However, it is not that simple for a living person to want to be unnoticed.

He didn't look up, but he could still feel Zhou Yanchuan's staring gaze.

"Don't worry, Qing Yun is fine, you can come back after receiving the punishment." Zhou Yanchuan said again, "Zhuo Xuan, you have been here with me for a while, do you think the case of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is easy to investigate? Last night he tried to attack me but failed. I can succeed, presumably the one above him will not let me go after knowing it, do you think I should act first?"

The back of Li Sizhi's neck felt cold, and he had the illusion that a knife was hanging on it.

He didn't look at Zhou Yanchuan, but bowed his head as usual, and responded indifferently: "This subordinate doesn't know."

This answer may seem a bit lacking in sincerity to others, but it is very useful for Zhou Yanchuan.

What Zhou Yanchuan wanted was an obedient stand-in like a marionette, not a clever little ghost who would make decisions for him.

Li Sizhi like this, won his heart the most.

Sure enough, Zhou Yanchuan laughed again when he heard the words, this time the smile was gentle and harmless: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, as long as you can do the things I told you well, you will have inexhaustible glory and wealth."

Li Sizhi deeply felt that this was a patient who was frantically stepping on the edge of neurosis.

His silence put Zhou Yanchuan in a good mood, and he was even a little caring: "You just woke up, and you need to rest more. I will send someone to bring food over later, and rest after eating. The corruption case of the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi still needs to be investigated. We may have to delay for a long time, it is very important to take good care of the body."

The implication is that there are still many times when he is needed as a substitute. If he doesn't pay close attention to taking care of his body, he will be reduced to a useless thing.

Li Sizhi lowered his head lower, and felt the breeze brought by the lifting and lowering of the veil in his ears, which grazed the tips of his ears, landed on his cheeks, and scratched his neck, like a deadly invisible blade stuck in his throat.

He thought, Qingyun's words last night were true and worth pondering.

It's just that the time has to be changed, it shouldn't be after Zhou Yanchuan's incident is completed, but he wants to restrain Zhou Yanchuan before the incident is completed.

Li Sizhi raised his head, his pair of affectionate peach eyes, which were exactly the same as those of Zhou Yanchuan, revealed the opposite ambition.

Then let's see who will succeed as a stand-in for whom.

Vegetable porridge for lunch, some diced meat for dinner, after drinking the soup, Li Sizhi lay in bed and lost his mind.

In the middle of the afternoon, he quietly opened the window and looked out.

There are endless pavilions, exquisite and beautiful painted lanterns hung under the eaves carved with dragons and phoenixes, and the rockery is connected to the lake. , each face expressionless, one can tell that the guards are heavily guarded.

He knew that Zhuo Xuan's body had practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his martial arts were very strong, but he went to the banquet for Zhou Yanchuan last night, his cartilage was broken, and he would lose his internal strength for a while.

At this moment, he can be called a weak scholar who has no power to restrain a chicken.

Wanting to go out, he wanted to confirm what arrangements the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi would make next, and whether it would really endanger his life.

If Zhou Yanchuan arranged too many people around him to guard him, then he could only wait patiently.

Zhou Yanchuan already suspected him, otherwise he wouldn't use Qingyun to test him.

It's just that he has nothing to do with Qingyun, and it's not that he doesn't want to drag Qingyun down, the main reason is that he is afraid of splashing dirty water on Qingyun.

It's all about being wise and safe.

Li Sizhi tossed and turned on the bed, because he slept too much during the day and was too awake at the moment, he propped his face and swiped the system interface to check the stories of Zhou Yanchuan and Zhuo Xuan in the next two years.

How did the two go from cooperating happily to turning against each other, and then to Zhuo Xuan having to kill Zhou Yanchuan.

After sorting it out, Li Sizhi began to think about where he should start to pave the way so that he can live better in the days to come, and not be forced by Zhou Yanchuan to the point where he is invincible and difficult to hide.

Just as he figured out a clue, a slight creaking sound of opening the window suddenly sounded in the room so quiet that one could hear falling needles. Li Sizhi was so startled that he slid his fingers to close the system, and turned his head to look in the direction of the sound.

After a while, a thin black figure stepped into the light from a place where the candlelight could not find it. His sword-browed and star-eyed eyes were Zhou Yanchuan's most useful tool for him.

"What are you doing here in the middle of the night without sleeping?" Li Sizhi raised the curtain of the bed, looked at Qingyun and asked incredulously.

Qingyun startled him, and he was at a loss when he reacted, which was rare for Qingyun.

Li Sizhi was still looking at Qingyun, waiting for an answer.

Qingyun stepped forward a few steps: "Let me see if you are dead or not."

"I'm fine, but I heard His Highness the fifth said that you were punished. I should be the one who asked you if you were dead or not." Li Sizhi simply sat up and lay down to look at Qingyun, which made him feel a little humbled by being looked down on, and he was too uncomfortable up.

Qingyun opened the curtain of the bed and walked in. This move was very presumptuous in the past, but now Qingyun has changed, blurring the rules in front of Li Sizhi so much that they can be surpassed.

What's even more remarkable is that Qingyun took the coat and wanted to put it on Li Sizhi's shoulders.

Naturally, this move was unsuccessful, and Li Sizhi stopped him halfway, so he took the coat and put it on.

"You want to ask if I'm okay, why don't you go find me yourself?" Qingyun asked.

Li Sizhi suspected that this person was digging a hole for him to jump in, and it was too brain-intensive to go around and talk, so he said very directly: "You are blind when you are a guard with a knife outside? My face is a sign when I go out, and I am seen by others." If His Highness the Fifth Highness knows how to separate himself, he appeared in the post house within less than a stick of incense after traveling outside, and even went to visit the guard who was punished in person."

"Excuse." Qingyun folded his arms and looked at him, "I've come to see you."

"Yes, thank you." Li Sizhi falsely said, "You have seen me tonight, and tomorrow I should be put in prison."

Qingyun's complexion changed again and again, and he suddenly regretted coming to see him abruptly.

Ever since he was rescued and taken to the cave to hide from many eyes and ears the night before, Qing Yun had a different feeling for him.

It's not like the two haven't worked together before.

Zhou Yanchuan, the fifth prince, was not valued by His Majesty at the beginning, and even if a concubine's child was promoted to a permanent presence later, it would be difficult to make it to the stage.

What's more, there are many concubines of His Majesty today, and it is very rainy and dewy, so this heir is also like Xia Yu from time to time.

Zhou Yanchuan was buried among the fifteen princes, he had no real ability, so it was hard for him to stand out.

In order to stand out among His Majesty, Zhou Yanchuan worked hard to climb up. For this, he offended too many people, and too many people wanted him to die.

Several times, Zhuo Xuan's life was hanging by a thread, and he survived freely by relying on his success.

Qingyun saw all these distressing experiences, and at first quietly persuaded her, but was ignored.

Qingyun also has his own self-esteem, and if he is ignored, he will be left to fend for himself.

Until the night before, when those two sentences were arguing, Qingyun seemed to see his strong desire to survive, and accidentally talked too much.

Qing Yun, who had been punished, couldn't quell the idea of ​​talking too much, so he came to find Li Sizhi in the middle of the night, who knew it would be like this.

Qingyun: "You blame me for coming to see you?"

Li Sizhi waved his hand: "No way, I just mind, don't talk, I'm such a person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong."

Qingyun was very angry: "Co-author, I think you are a dog biting Lu Dongbin?"

"Don't point at Sang and scold Huai." Li Sizhi drank warm water to moisten his throat, the lingering weakness caused by the high fever was very annoying, "Qing Yun, you have been with His Highness Fifth Highness for several years, and you also know his Temperament, if you let him know that you met me in private and have a very good relationship with me, how do you think he will treat you and me?"

Li Sizhi doesn't doubt Qingyun's intentions, but he doesn't believe him either.

As for how to turn passive into active with Zhou Yanchuan, he already had a plan in mind.

Before that, he wanted to drive away those who tried to approach him in delusion and tried to save him in various names.

Leaving no weaknesses is the first step in doing great things.

Thinking of Zhou Yanchuan, Qingyun hesitated to speak.

Li Sizhi raised his hand to signal Qingyun not to speak, the words at this time seemed to him to be confusing, and it would be best not to give Qingyun a chance to speak.

"Whether you really want me to escape because of me, or you are tempted by His Royal Highness, I will not leave here. I grew up with His Royal Highness since I was a child. He is my savior, and I should repay him. That person, before the end of the kindness, I can only accept whatever he asks me to do."

After Li Sizhi finished speaking, his sharp eyes saw the shadow standing outside the window for a long time flash past, as if he was going to face the person who should tell.

Qingyun had a strange expression, and she stared at him very subtlely, like disgust or hatred for iron.

Li Sizhi, who recalled what he said, couldn't help showing this expression.

How did he say such sentimental words in front of Qingyun.

disgusting.

"You..." Qingyun held back a word for a long time, the words he wanted to say were too difficult to say, so it was quite difficult to say, "You can't be..."

Li Sizhi:?

Qingyun moved his mouth, gritted his teeth for a long time and said: "You don't mean to love His Highness the Fifth Highness, right? What you said is exactly the same as what the Pearl of the Palm of the Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi said a few days ago. At that time, you also accompanied me and said something to me, this Miss Qianjin It's a fool."

Li Sizhi: ...

"Don't read Longyang's story book if you're fine. My mind is broken. I look similar to His Highness the Fifth Highness. If you admire him, it's better to look in the mirror." After Li Sizhi explained, he started to drive Qingyun away again, "From now on, you don't come here anymore. Look for me, I will serve His Highness the Fifth Highness wholeheartedly."

Qing Yun took a few steps back, looked at him a few more times and said, "I see."

After saying that, he turned around and left quietly, that figure didn't seem like he would never see each other again, but rather tried to find a way to help him.

Li Sizhi was really afraid that Qing Yun, a rich young master, would have too much sympathy for him, so extra problems would arise.

All of a sudden, Qingyun got a fine and passed it by fooling around, and lost his life.

He pulled up the quilt and hid in the warm quilt, in the future, he should be more distant from Qing Yun, so as not to give Zhou Yanchuan a chance to catch him.

In the study room on the other side of the post house, Zhou Yanchuan listened to the report from the shadow guard, and his hand that held the pen jerked a few times as if excited, and the clean rice paper was stained.

He didn't care much and continued to scribble on the big ink dots on the rice paper: "He really said that?"

"The subordinate heard it clearly, he told Qing Yun not to bother."

Zhou Yanchuan outlined the rugged mountain with a few strokes, and the ink dots turned into small falling stones under the mountain: "Keep staring at him, if he is obedient, come to see me in three days, if he is not obedient..."

The tip of the pen landed on the small stone, a bright and cruel smile rose from the corner of his lips, the hanging pen fell heavily, and the new ink covered the ink dots that fell unintentionally: "Let him taste disobedience again."

The shadow guard took the lead and left.

Zhou Yanchuan looked at the almost ruined landscape painting, and threw away the wolf hair without interest.

What should I do, the obedient little loach raised by my side since childhood wants to break out of the ground and jump into the sky to become a dragon.

What should I do, the little pet is disobedient, can beating and scolding work?

Zhou Yanchuan fell into distress, and it seemed that he couldn't find a good solution for a while.

Li Sizhi was placed in the room for three days and no one cared about it.

Maybe the wording was inappropriate, someone sent food, drink and medicine, but Zhou Yanchuan was not there.

Li Sizhi waited patiently, never crossing the threshold.

On the fourth day, when the gray belly just appeared on the horizon, the door of the room was pushed open, and a group of six people walked in, and the leader offered half a silver mask with both hands.

"Your Highness Fifth, please go over."

Li Sizhi took the mask and put it on, and was allowed to get out of the cage. The opportunity came.
