Placid Chang'an

Su Cen slowly came back to his senses, and wiped the things on his face indiscriminately. He knew that he was crying, but he couldn't figure out why.Maybe it was the emotion that made him unable to control his body, or maybe it was Li Shi's last words, he just felt like something had hit his heart, and he could only use tears to replace his breath for a while.

"Why are you crying?" Li Shi pinched the bridge of his nose, his voice hoarse.

"Maybe it's because..." Su Cen frowned and thought for a while, "The rest of my life?"

He stood on the edge of the cliff several times today, and this excuse is reasonable.

Li Shi frowned, "Don't be so nonsense in the future."

What nonsense, Su Cen frowned, he did a lot of ridiculous things today, he really needs to think about it.Pausing for a while between trapping Song Fan and saving people from Xia Ya, he tentatively said, "Song Fan..."

Seeing that Prince Ning frowned, he hurriedly changed his words: "I didn't go down."

"It doesn't work if you have an idea."

Sure enough, this is it.Su Cen laughed secretly, this old fox can control the world and control other people's thoughts?Raising his hand to hook Li Shi's neck, he smiled flatteringly: "Didn't I know that I have you, the prince is so blessed, so naturally I can follow suit."

Li Shi was appeased for a while, and then scratched his nose as a warning, "Let others do this kind of thing in the future."

"Okay." Su Cen accepted it as soon as he saw it, and hurriedly agreed.

"Qu Ling'er wants a reward," Li Shi said again, "Think about what you want for him."

"It's better for you to reward Qi Lin to him than anything else."

Li Shi smiled, "What a big tone."

Su Cen curled his lips, but he didn't pay attention. He came up to ask for the personal bodyguard who had been with Prince Ning for more than ten years. Indeed, the lion opened his mouth, and then asked, "Can you spare him his death?"

Li Shi glanced at him and motioned him to continue talking.

"Ling'er knows the secret of the secret door. This secret is enough to drive the secret door to kill him. Although I don't know what the secret is, according to Song Fan, it should be very important." Su Cen paused to read Looking at Li Shi, he continued: "I hope that no matter what the secret is, Qu Ling'er will not be affected. He has never told anyone, and he will rot in his stomach in the future. You just pretend that he doesn't know anything, okay." no?"

Li Shi narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Su Cen. This person is so smart, sometimes he doesn't know whether this smartness is an advantage or a disadvantage.

Song Fan's identity is mysterious, and he knows the secret of opening the door, so the secret may have something to do with his identity.If it really involves the royal family and the stability of the court, he doesn't mind killing people if necessary.

But now there is no clue about the matter, the little fox is already looking for a way out for Qu Ling'er.

Prince Ning didn't say for sure or he couldn't say for sure, Su Cen could only wait patiently, for fear that some of his breathing would dissatisfy Lord Chitose, and then reject his request for instructions.

After waiting for a while, Li Shi couldn't come to a conclusion, Su Cen's face was almost blushing, and only then did he hear Li Shi's indifferent: "Okay."

Lord Su breathed a sigh of relief as if relieved, he was so relieved that he choked himself, lowered his head and coughed non-stop.

Li Shi hugged him in his arms and teased him with a smile: "If I don't speak again, are you going to suffocate yourself?"

Su Cen was so choked that the corners of his eyes were red, he raised his head and glared at Li Shi, his arrogance turned into anger, which made Li Shi burst into laughter.

Su Cen coughed for nothing, and managed to make Li Shi amused, and continued to push forward: "Qu Ling'er rewarded him, so Mr. Liang will also reward him. He misunderstood him first, and later Mr. Liang made meritorious deeds in escorting him, so the lord is natural." You won't be treated badly, right?"

"Being proud of being favored." Li Shi's one sentence determined his character.

"You really can't judge by appearance," Su Cen gently leaned on Li Shi, as if he had lost all his muscles, and raised his hands and feet with a bit of affection|lustful obsession, "I really didn't see that Mr. Liang is so good. Kung fu, it was fate not to be sent away by his palm at the foot of the mountain."

"Zhong'an used to be a Shaolin monk."

Su Cen straightened up slightly, and became interested: "Can a monk also be an official?"

"A monk can be an emperor, why can't he be an official?" Li Shidao, "The reason why I helped him was not because I believed him or not, but because I knew a little about his life. Zhong An was born in Shaolin, and he had a heart to help the world when he was young. Later, he found that Buddhism could not save all sentient beings, so he returned from the Shaolin Temple, took the imperial examination, and passed the imperial examination, but was assigned to a small remote place as county magistrate because he did not give gifts to the officials. At that time and without thinking about it, I don't think he can do those things."

"Then you didn't tell me?" Su Cen raised his eyes and glared, "I almost caught the wrong person."

"People's hearts will change. I believe in the facts." Li Shi patted Su Cen on the shoulder lightly, "And as I said, if I have to make a choice, I believe you."

Su Cen's heart warmed, she stood up and kissed the corner of the person's mouth, she was still reluctant to leave after the kiss, her hands rested on the person's shoulders, her head was lowered, her breath was lingering close to her, her eyes were as bright as stars in the night.

"I have one more question," he said.

Li Shi gave a soft "hmm".

"How did Miss Wen die?"

"..."

The sudden silence made Su Cen feel as if a piece of his heart was hollowed out just now. He was coaxed into a little ecstasy this night, and once he fell down, his body was broken to pieces.

Li Shi withdrew from between his two arms, and the gap between his arms was clearly written with alienation.

It was still summer, Su Cen suddenly felt a little cold.

What does it mean to push the nose on the face, and what does it mean to be ignorant of flattery? Only then did he fully interpret it.

"Go to sleep." Li Shi tucked the quilt up for him, but he got up and walked to the desk, leaned on the back of the chair and pressed the center of his eyebrows, looking tired.

You can't believe what Song Fan said, but it's not completely false. Since he said about the death of Princess Ning, there should indeed be some problems.

Su Cen knew that the nature of the wedding was greater than love, and he also knew that Li Shi was at the border after getting married, and the two have always treated each other with respect.The name of a husband and wife that existed in name only had no real effect during Wen Shu's lifetime, but it received repercussions after his death——Wen Tingyan's support, Wen Xiu's assistance, and even when the late emperor had been hostile to him for many years, he still had to put him to death. Recall from the frontier to appoint a regent prince - none of this would be possible without a stable footing in the court.He couldn't figure out what was the connection between them, but Li Shi definitely knew it.

Qi Lin once hinted to him that Miss Wen died in that power struggle and became a victim of imperial power, but Qi Lin didn't say how she died, and even the entire Xingqing Palace kept it secret.

Su Cen asked again, "How did Miss Wen die?"——He persistently called the former Concubine Ning Miss Wen, but in fact he couldn't figure it out, and denied a title What's the use?

He had made up his mind, no matter what Li Shi said to him, he would unconditionally believe it, even if he told others that Emperor Xiandi killed him, because he was afraid that he would collude with the Wen family, he would dare to criticize the late Emperor at the risk of such a shame.

But Li Shi didn't give him anything, left him in the room, put on some clothes and left.

At the beginning of August, the water potential decreased, and the court's relief money was delivered, and Prince Ning Li Shi's class returned to the court.

As the imperial envoy of Henan Province, Su Cen had to inspect all the places affected by the flood before returning to Beijing, so the two had to split up, get together in a hurry, and went on their own way.

Uncle Cao couldn't escape the guilt, so he voluntarily replaced the villagers of Cao Village and returned to Beijing to accept the crime with Prince Ning's team.

Huzi and Erya cried for a while, but they couldn't persuade Second Uncle Cao to go, so they could only say goodbye with tears.After this battle, Huzi wanted to learn Kung Fu so that he could protect Erya in the future. It happened that Master Liang, who had been a monk, had no children, so he adopted Huzi, but his surname was still Cao, and he adopted a loud name for himself. The name, Cao Wangxing, means that Xuzhou will rise early and overcome difficulties.

The implication is good, but it's really vulgar. The more Su Cen listened to it, the more awkward he became, and finally changed it to Cao You'an.

Erya followed Su Cen's surname to Su, and was named Su Qingqing. The two little dolls had been in love since childhood, and Liang Fang made the decision.

Uncle Cao drank a glass of wedding wine and left. The slanting sunset filled the gully on his face. He drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, sighed, and had no more nostalgia.

Su Cen also left the next day.

Hearing that Chuanling County, a hundred miles away, was also affected by the disaster, he preferred unannounced visits to open investigations, so he got up early in the morning, and took Qu Ling'er away quietly without disturbing anyone.

After driving for a day, they finally reached the border of Chuanling County. Su Cen and Qu Ling'er found a farmhouse to settle down. As soon as they cleaned up, they found that the villagers were running up the mountain in groups carrying hoes and shovels.

Su Cen stopped someone to inquire about the situation.

The man looked at Su Cen suspiciously with triangular eyes, seeing that he was a stranger, he hesitated to say anything.

"Liu Mazi, you still picked up Joe," Su Cen and his hostess spat at Liu Mazi with melon seeds, "These two are both doctors who left Fang, what can't you say? Hurry up and tell me what happened. gone?"

Liu Mazi looked at Su Cen for a long time with his triangular eyes, and then he came closer and said, "The mountain road was destroyed by the flash flood, my dear mother, a lot of corpses rushed out from the side of the road!"
