Placid Chang'an

The silence of the night deepened, and the palace, which had been noisy all day, finally calmed down.Prince Ning ordered ginger soup to be boiled in the porridge shed, and poured down a bowl for each person who had been drenched in the rain.Su Cen was exhausted, pinched his nose early and finished drinking and went back to the room. It was a rare extravagance for him to ask a servant to bring in a bucket of hot water and take a good bath.

Leaning against the wall of the barrel soaked her body completely, Su Cen still didn't want to get up, but her hands and feet became weaker and weaker, and she became more and more lazy to move.

Su Cen didn't want to get up until the water temperature was getting colder, and his soft body became stiff again after soaking in it. He didn't bother to put on his clothes, so he wiped clean and went directly into bed.

Nestled in the soft and comfortable brocade quilt, I let out a long sigh of relief, the day is finally over.

Just thinking about going back to continue dating Zhou Gong, I never thought that there was a knock on the door at the wrong time.Su Cen didn't respond to the first sound, and pretended to be asleep with his eyes closed, not wanting that the people outside the door were extremely stubborn. The second sound was followed by the third sound, which meant that he would not stop until he woke up.

It was rare for Master Su to get angry, and shouted towards the door: "Who is it?"

Qi Lin's voice came from outside the door: "My Lord let you go."

Su Cen muttered something, which was naturally not a good word. He was so tired today that he really had no interest in going to bed, so he frowned and protested: "Can you not go?"

There was a moment of silence outside the door. Just as Su Cen was about to rejoice in his victory, he heard unhurried footsteps outside the door again. He stood still outside the door and ordered, "Pry the door."

The fastened bolt at the door really moved little by little.

Seeing that people outside were about to break into the door, Su Cen sat up abruptly, cursed lightly, and then reluctantly put on some clothes and went out.

Su Cen cursed "Old whore|stick" and "Old fox" all the way, the mountain wind was rampant at night, and it had just rained, so the bubble was soaked through just now, and now it was soaked through by the cool wind.Wrapped tightly in his robes, he managed to reach the place. He opened the door and was about to accuse the "old fox" when he blurted out the word "old". Seeing Liang Fang who was still standing in the room, he hurriedly changed the subject and called out respectfully: "My lord."

"Old prince?" Li Shi's eyes slowly swept over, "Is this king old?"

Su Cen was caught by the gaze, shivered, and hurriedly defended: "Your lord is not old, it's because I'm old. When you get old, you get lethargic. Your old arms and legs are slow to come. I hope your lord will forgive me."

Mr. Su is in his early twenties, so naturally he can't be called "old". There was obviously anger in his words. Before Li Shi could react, Liang Fang laughed first: "Mr. Su is really good at joking. If you are old, let us two old men How to deal with yourself, hahaha...haha...ha?"

Li Shi frowned and looked over, Liang Fang laughed dryly for a few times before he slowly felt the smell, and hurriedly said: "My lord is not old!"

Su Cen covered her mouth and snickered, and got another slap in the face.

The tense atmosphere just now dissipated.

Li Shi nodded Liang Fang with his chin, "It was Zhong An who wanted to call you over, and I need to discuss something with you."

It turned out to be official business.Su Cen cupped his hands at Liang Fang, "Master Liang, please tell me."

"It's not a big deal," Liang Fang said, "I just want to ask the villagers of Cao Village what you plan to do with it? Originally, I came to ask the prince, but the prince said that this is your case and I want to ask for your opinion. I'm impatient. If you don’t ask clearly, you can’t fall asleep, so you’re bothering me late at night, please don’t be offended, Mr. Su.”

Su Cen was soothed a lot when he woke up. He glanced at Li Shi before turning his gaze to Liang Fang and saying, "Since Mr. Liang came to ask, he must have something to say."

"Cao Village was ruled by me after all, and I will die for this kind of thing," Liang Fang shook his head and sighed, "I asked, the reason why they help the secret door is actually a last resort. Cao Village In that place, there were floods every year, and the crops were confiscated and forced to pay rent. It was really hard to do anything to cooperate with the secret door. I also asked, and most of them didn’t understand the links. They didn't directly participate in the process, they just kept watch and sentry. It was Song Fan and his gang who really did it. Many people didn't even know that what they stopped was official servants, and what they robbed was official bank. So I wonder if I can ask Mr. Su Let them off the hook and give them a way out. I was negligent when this happened, or I can take it on their behalf, after all, if I had noticed it earlier, it wouldn’t have such a consequence.”

Su Cen smiled knowingly after hearing what Liang Fang had said. He was also worrying about the matter of Cao Village, so he just took advantage of Liang Fang's words and went down the donkey: "I'm still in a dilemma. There are so many villagers in Cao Village, and they brought all of them back to the capital. It's also unrealistic, since Master Liang has the intentions, then this matter might as well be left to Master Liang to do it." Turning to look at Li Shi again: "I don't know what the prince wants?"

"I've let you guys finish talking, what else can I say?" Li Shi let go of the power extremely generously, fulfilling their small thoughts behind the scenes, and at the same time said: "I only ask for one thing, and those who don't know can Forgiveness, but not blind indulgence, sinners should be punished, if the law is not established, there is no need to punish, you must know it in your heart."

Liang Fang hurriedly stood up and said yes.

Sending Liang Fang away, Su Cen settled his worries and was in a good mood. The unhappiness just now disappeared, and now he is showing off and wants to stay. He doesn't want to go back and blow the cold wind again, but he refuses. gone.

I don't want Li Shi to be unsympathetic, not to let him go, not to keep him, just sit at the desk by himself, and don't even give him a look.

Su Cen didn't know which sentence he had touched Long Yan, and cautiously came forward with tea, and asked tentatively, "Your lord is still not resting?"

Li Shi didn't raise his head, he turned the page of the book: "There's nothing else to do with you, step back."

Su Cen froze for a moment, looking out of the dark window, not wanting to leave.So she shyly stepped forward again, "It's late at night, I'll wait for the prince to sleep."

Li Shi lowered his eyes and said in a leisurely manner: "This king is old, and he has more energy than energy."

Su Cen laughed out loud, the old fox was still thinking about this, no wonder he was lukewarm to him.

Prince Ning is now full of life and calculations, that is, he is in his prime, and he has nothing to do with old age. Coupled with his many years of experience in the battlefield, his sharp eyebrows and aggressive aura are unmatched by a young man in his early 20s.It's just that because of his high position and authority, others dare not overstep and respect him, so he has been classified as the superior group of people for no reason.This night, he was beaten twice in a row, and Liang Fang, who was half-haired, was also dragged into the old man's queue, which undoubtedly made things worse.

"The prince is not old, not at all," Su Cen suppressed a smile to comfort him, "Whoever dares to say that the prince is old is spreading rumors to confuse the public, and he should be caught and dealt with as an example to others!"

Li Shi ignored him.

Su Cen made fun of himself, walked around the desk a few times without giving up, and saw that Li Shi was still ignoring him, curled his lips and slandered, what book is better than him?

I looked at Li Shi's book together, and said without words: "Although Shangjun's law is time-sensitive, it is too harsh. General Ang, if you don't follow Zhao Liang's words, don't avoid the powerful, and punish the doctor, you will lose all your hearts and end up miserable."

Li Shi finally raised his head and glanced at him: "Without Shang, there would be no Qin. Although Shang Yang died, the new law has not been abolished. The Qin State and even the Qin Dynasty have followed its law. Great achievements have been made, and the achievements are as great as hills."

"But he's dead," Su Cen frowned slowly, looking at Li Shiyin's eyebrows in the shadow of the lights, panicked for no reason, "Dead is dead, leaving a reputation as a cruel official. Anyway, what does it have to do with him?"

"Man is mortal."

Su Cen snatched the "Biography of Shang Jun" from Li Shi's hand, "I don't want to read it."

"I'm not Shang Yang." Li Shi was taken aback and then smiled, pulling the suffocating little fox into his arms and rubbing it, "What kind of hysteria are you spouting for no reason?"

Leaning in the warm arms, Su Cen gradually calmed down. He lowered his eyes to cover his emotions. He looked at Li Shi holding the "Biography of Shang Jun", feeling flustered and uneasy. The sentence in the book: Prohibition of adultery, equal balance, strict punishment, ordering politics and teaching, he couldn't tell whether it was Shang Jun or Li Shi that he was talking about.

The dynasty changed, and Lord Shang was finally tortured by a chariot. How will Prince Ning be treated after the little emperor takes power?

"I don't want you to be Shang Yang, to dedicate your life to the law, and I don't want you to be more important than Mount Tai. I want you to live well!" Su Cen held the book tightly in his hand, and raised his head to ask for instructions, but his eyes were stubborn and determined: "We Can you burn it?"

Li Shi paused with his hand on his back, narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him, as if he was thinking about it, but also seemed to be looking at him simply, he smiled after a long time, and said: "It's up to you."

Su Cen raised his hand and lit the book by the candlestick, the rising fire light danced in the dark eyes, illuminating the slightly pale face.He felt inexplicably happy and relieved.Shang Yang is gone, Gefa Mingjiao is gone, and the death penalty is gone.

The temperature of the flame was so close to the fingertips that it was about to burn to the fingertips. Before Su Cen wanted to let go, Li Shi snatched it and threw it out.

"Nonsense!" Li Shi frowned.

Su Cen felt that he was in the wrong. He was distracted just now. Now that he came back to his senses, he rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and explained in a low voice, "I just wanted to throw it away."

Li Shi pinched his neck and slid it down, intending to slack his hair, but when he slid his hand down, he was suddenly stunned.

Li Shi was stunned, and so was he.When I got up, I was angry, and I didn't wear my clothes properly. I wrapped my whole body in an outer robe, and I didn't wear my middle clothes.

This hand didn't encounter any obstacles, and it was directly attached to the flesh.His back was slightly hot, with the unique vigor of young people, and as he attached a thin callused hand, trembling slightly, passionate and sensitive.

Li Shi sighed in his heart, "It's good to be young", and picked up the man without waiting for a moment, and almost sent him to the table with one arm, facing him.Once the belt is opened, the scenery is infinite.

And the place where the hair grows is about to slowly raise its head.

Prince Ning squinted his eyes, but couldn't move, but his scorching gaze seemed to have substance, like an ax chopping with a knife, his throat tightened and his face was crimson.

Su Cen became furious and scolded "old fox". Just as she was about to close her clothes and jump off the table, she was warned: "Don't move."

He didn't dare to move immediately.

Li Shi raised his hand to pick up a brush, and took advantage of the situation to draw a wintersweet. He only used black ink, and the place where the flower bloomed was just a little bright red.

The soft brush bristles carried cool thick ink in front of him, and his skin tone, which has not seen the sun all year round, was fairer, and the black ink was as stunning as Bai Xuan's.Su Cen didn't dare to bow his head, he knew his own reaction, just like those two wintersweet flowers, fragrant and full of pistils, he was so depressed that he didn't dare to look directly at them.

As soon as the pen is turned, the pen is drawn against the front. If you want to go down, you should go up first, and if you want to go left, you should go right.

Su Cen shrank her shoulders slightly and opened her mouth slightly, she was taken aback.

The tone didn't sound like a polite refusal, but rather a courtship.

"Is it okay to stop painting?" Su Cen felt embarrassed with his clothes open to be picked by others, but he didn't want to really confront Li Shi, he was cautious and cautious, like a little fox begging for mercy.

"That's good," Prince Ning remained unmoved, raised his hand to dip in the ink, and made a final stroke of fortune. From the collarbone to the chest to the lower abdomen, an old branch connected everything before, old-fashioned, and done in one go.

I thought it was a work of love|interest, but it made people reluctant to look away.

Su Cen even forgot to breathe.

Until the scent of sandalwood on Li Shi's body slowly came up and kissed him awake, Su Cen frowned, and it was not difficult to see the anxious state, "Why did you paint it on your body? What if you wash it?"

Li Shi's voice was low and bewitching: "You are prettier than paintings."

Master Su was defeated like a mountain, and his heart was so soft that he kissed him like a dragonfly on water, burning away the last bit of reason between the two of them.

Prince Ning's gaze suddenly became fierce, and he flicked his robes, not waiting for a moment.

The mountain wind roared outside the room, and the room was sweating profusely, smudged with the decadent wintersweet, which turned into a mountain shape, turned into rain, and finally dripped down with fierce tremors.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid," Su Cen only remembered Li Shi whispering in his ear, he twitched and trembled, his heavy breathing almost drowned out the soft voice.Li Shi kissed him on the earlobe, and spared no effort to give him a final blow, almost accompanied by his distorted cry: "I am here, I have always been here."
