Prodigal Goro-kun

What Zuo Ning said was so right that Yan Qiuer couldn't find any words to refute it.In this political struggle, the prince is destined to be the target of public criticism, no matter how innocent he is, he can only become a victim.

But no matter what, Yan Qiuer would not help the prince, and it was even impossible to ignore him.

Yan Qiuer stood up, brushed the hem of his clothes, looked directly into Zuo Ning's eyes full of hope and said: "It seems that we will be enemies when we meet next time."

Zuo Ning was taken aback, his eyes quickly dimmed.

Sure enough?But this is also the expected result of Zuo Ning.

The crown prince has no chance of winning in the battle for the throne. No one knows this fact better than him who is right next to the prince. Now he is betraying his personal feelings, even if he regrets it, even if he is anxious, it is only his business. Young, but his mind is extraordinary, how could Mr. Wu Lang join in this losing game?

Zuo Ning stood up slowly, brushed off the dust on the hem of his clothes, raised his face to look at Yan Qiuer, and said with a smile: "In that case, let's do it according to our ability. Although Ning knows that the current situation is very unfavorable to the prince, Ning will not Those who give up, I would rather go all out, and please beware of King Huai'an, Mr. Wulang."

"To each other." Yan Qiuer bowed to Zuo Ning, turned around and left.

Zuo Ning also turned around at the same time Yan Qiuer started walking, and walked in the opposite direction.

Back at the station, Zuo Ning saw Prince Chuyu sitting in the yard of the station, with a jug of wine in front of him and a chessboard, and he was obsessed with playing chess with black and white. When he heard footsteps, he raised his head and looked towards the door of the station.

"Where have you been?" Seeing Zuo Ning who had returned from the outside, Chu Yu immediately frowned, and this expression seemed to have become a habit.

Zuo Ning, on the other hand, thought that Chu Yu's domineering and conceited expression was disgusting before, but now he could already see Chu Yu's worry from this expression.

Smiling slightly, Zuo Ning went to sit opposite Chu Yu, picked up the white piece, put it on the chessboard, and said softly, "Go say hello to an old friend."

"Hmph!" Chu Yu snorted coldly, and dropped a sunspot onto the chessboard.

After that, the two sat opposite each other quietly, until the game of chess was over, Zuo Ning packed up the chess pieces and said to Chu Yu, "Do you want to meet Master Yan tomorrow?"

Chu Yu nodded, and replied: "Yes. Didn't you say that you can no longer listen to slander and work hard? The work of supervising the Chamber of Commerce seems innocuous, but it is the task assigned to me by my father. I can't let my father down. .”

The corners of Zuo Ning's mouth raised slightly, and he jokingly said: "The prince listens to me like this, isn't he afraid that I will harm you?"

"Not afraid." Chu Yu looked at Zuo Ning honestly, and replied without hesitation, "I will listen to everything you say."

Zuo Ning was taken aback for a moment, then immediately lowered his head, covering his eyes full of guilt.

He knew that Chu Yu's words were not just words. From the half a year since they met until now, Chu Yu has listened to every word he said, and most likely will follow his words, otherwise he will not be ruined fate.

He doesn't know why Chu Yu trusts him so much, even if his life goes well and his mind is pure, as a prince, Chu Yu shouldn't trust him so wholeheartedly.Now Zuo Ning only knew that he had previously incited the prince to destroy his image, and now he was going to swallow it with his belt. Only he knew the bitterness of it, the better the prince was to him, the more guilty he felt.

Moreover, Chu Yu's assassination was originally planned by him. At that time, he thought that even if he couldn't kill Chu Yu, he could take this opportunity to deepen Chu Yu's trust in him, so that he would have more chances to frame him.

But that day, when the assassin attacked, as the prince, Chu Yu immediately thought of his safety instead of his own life. Chu Yu knew that the assassin came to take the prince's life, but he arranged protection immediately His hands, and then he thought of himself, Chu Yu's little skin wound was left when he was protecting him.

Zuo Ning knew that even a little skin trauma, as long as it saw blood, would be enough to take Chu Yu's life, because the assassin's sword had poison on it, and he gave it to him.

Seeing Chu Yu hovering on the edge of life and death for two days, recalling the little things that happened between them, and thinking about the maintenance and care of Chu Yu, who is the prince, Zuo Ning's emotions that have been suppressed in his heart are finally Forcibly breaking the ground, those emotions that he deliberately ignored for revenge rushed out like a river breaking its embankment.Zuo Ning gave Chu Yu the antidote and made his situation more delicate.

Fortunately, in order to win Chu Yu's trust, he always played the role of a considerate confidant, and let others say those words of bewitching and instigation, so in order to preserve his image in Chu Yu's heart, left and right Ning spoke to Chu Yu and gave Chu Yu's side a big cleansing. Those who had conspired with him died before they had time to react, and they all died indirectly at his hands.

During this purge, Chu Yu's complete trust in him made him both moved and guilty.

After that, he began to reform Chu Yu, trying to restore his irreparable reputation.It just so happened that all the courtiers around Chu Yu had been eliminated, and the remaining real courtiers were very happy to help him reform Chu Yu.It's just that Chu Yu's temper has been fixed and it's hard to change.Fortunately, among so many people around Chu Yu, there was Zuo Ning who could control him, so this time, Zuo Ning was really inseparable by Chu Yu's side.

With such strict discipline for more than a month, and Zuo Ning paying equal attention to rewards and punishments, although Chu Yu's temper cannot be changed, at least he can behave well in front of others.

"What are you thinking about?" After Chu Yu said that, seeing Zuo Ning lowered his head, he didn't know what his expression was. Chu Yu was worried, afraid that he might say something wrong again.

For Chu Yu, Zuo Ning is special, from the first time he saw Zuo Ning, Chu Yu expected him to be special.But Chu Yu has always known that there is a gap between Zuo Ning and him. In the past, even if Zuo Ning would smile gently, he always had reservations. He never felt Zuo Ning's sincerity, and he didn't know the reason. A few times, but nothing happened.

After the previous assassination incident, Chu Yu clearly noticed the change in Zuo Ning's attitude. Chu Yu only felt that Zuo Ning was finally moved by his dedication and was rewarded, so he was very happy.It's just that Zuo Ning's way of repaying him gave him a bit of a headache. By now, he already has this kind of virtue, how will he change it in a while?But Zuo Ning would be angry if he didn't change it. Chu Yu knew that Zuo Ning was doing it for his own good, and doing things that weren't too difficult would make Zuo Ning happy, so Chu Yu kept studying hard, studying hard to be a The person who can make Zuo Ning smile.

Hearing Chu Yu's voice, Zuo Ning withdrew his thoughts, and when he looked up, he saw Chu Yu's uneasy look.

Chu Yu's expression is so frank and easy to distinguish, but why he couldn't see it before?

Zuo Ning raised the corner of his mouth and smiled softly, and asked Chu Yu, "Have you thought about how to deal with Patriarch Yan, Your Highness?"

Chu Yu's face turned red, and he stopped talking, and said in a low voice, "What preparations do I need to do to meet Patriarch Yan?"

Recently, Zuo Ning's smile has become more and more gentle, which makes people feel embarrassed.

Knowing that Chu Yu was unprepared, Zuo Ning's smile was full of helplessness, and he said patiently: "The Yan family is different from our Zuo family, and the head of the Yan family is not comparable to the head of the Zuo family. You have to be very careful when talking to him. If you are not careful, you may fall into the trap set by him. Especially that Mr. Wulang has a close relationship with the Ninth Prince, and the head of the Yan family loves Mr. Wulang. I am afraid that he will die for Mr. Wulang. Helping the Ninth Prince is not good for His Highness."

"Ninth Brother? Heh, you don't have to worry about Ninth Brother." Knowing Zuo Ning's worry, Chu Yu smiled indifferently, "Ninth Brother is still a child at heart, so it doesn't matter."

Zuo Ning's eyes flashed, but he didn't know how to change Chu Yu's thoughts.From the very beginning, Chu Yu believed that the Ninth Prince would not participate in the struggle for imperial power, but in fact, the Ninth Prince was enough to pose a threat to them.Zuo Ning hinted at Chu Yu many times, but only on this matter, Chu Yu was unexpectedly stubborn.

Chu Yu continued: "Now I am only worried about the fourth brother. The news from the fourth brother's fief is all that the fourth brother is still in the fief, living leisurely with the princess, and his fief is peaceful and peaceful. But the more this is the case, the more I feel disturbed.

Recently, news came back that the fourth brother was happy to have a son, and the father was very happy, and the reward had already been given away. Before leaving, the father told me that the situation in the Southwest was bad, and he wanted to call the fourth brother and his family back to Chang'an to protect the family. Xiao Shizi grows up healthily.

But if this is the case, the fourth brother can lead troops into Chang'an in the name of escort, which is not a good thing. "

The fourth younger brother that Chu Yu mentioned refers to King Huai'an.

Hearing this, Zuo Ning lowered his head again.What should be done to resolve the crisis?

On the other hand, Yan Qiuer, who returned to the Emperor's Mansion, was not in a good mood either, Zuo Ning's kneeling that lowered his dignity was still lingering in his mind.Yan Qiuer couldn't figure out why Zuo Ning, who had hated Chu Yu so much before, was willing to bend his knees for Chu Yu now?

Yan Sheng, who was finally free to stay by Yan Qiuer's side, saw that Yan Qiuer had been absent-mindedly brewing tea for four rounds, but he didn't even pour out a cup. Yan Sheng put down the book in his hand, walked over to Yan Qiuer and sat down. Next, gently took the tea set in Yan Qiuer's hand.

"How many times do you want to brew this tea?"

"Huh?" Yan Qiuer returned to his senses and looked at Yan Sheng blankly, "What's wrong?"

What's wrong?Is that the question he wants to ask Chul?

Yan Sheng poured out the tea unhurriedly, and asked Yan Qiuer, "What did the Ninth Prince say to you?"

Yan Qiuer shook his head blankly, and said, "Brother Jiu didn't say anything, what's wrong?"

Yan Sheng shook his head and laughed, took a cup of tea and handed it to Yan Qiuer, "Let's drink tea."

Yan Qiuer took the teacup and smiled slightly, then forgot about Zuo Ning's affairs.
