Green tea sick beauty after whitening

After Qi Hui left, Qu Chang took back to his yard.

When passing by the Xiangfu Garden, I saw that the theater stage set up for entertaining guests was being dismantled, and under the gradually setting sun, people in the theater troupe were also packing up their belongings.

A girl sat and waited, still holding the pipa herself, plucking the strings twice from time to time, singing softly, with unreasonable melancholy.

Qu Changling stopped for a while, but someone behind him chanted, "It's a pity that there is a clear song, and it's all given to the dusk. I want to complain to the willow flowers, for fear that the willow flowers will be frivolous and hurt the spring."

Qu Changlu didn't look back, and said flatly, "His Royal Highness King Jing, it's autumn now."

Jing Qianjiang's voice was particularly deserted in the distant music: "There is no sword in the world, and it is difficult to cut away the scars of sorrow. No matter the age, it is suitable for the occasion."

Qu Changcheng sighed and said, "I haven't held you accountable for intruding into my room, but you've been lying down here and you've become pissed off."

Jing Qianjiang sneered: "Sorry, seeing Qi Hui is not happy, I can't hold back."

He paused, and then said: "You don't want to talk to him, do you? If you need him to do something, you might as well come to me. "

Qu Changcheng said slowly: "His Royal Highness King Jing, everyone wants to climb high, and you are not a prince. Why don't I find someone more powerful."

Jing Qianjiang fell silent, but Qu Changlu turned around and teased, "Are you angry?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "No, I was just thinking, why didn't you piss Qi Hui to death just now."

Saying this, both of them laughed.

Jing Qianjiang draped a piece of clothing on his arm over Qu Chang's shoulder, but this time he asked seriously: "About the Lu family, are you planning to take the crown prince out?"

Qu Changlu shook his head: "Just wait and see, with such a thing, not to mention the crown prince, even Lu Yan will not be severely punished. My goal was on Lu Yang from the beginning."

Jing Qianjiang pondered for a while, and understood what Qu Changnegative meant.

At present, the Lu family can't run away, but a royal palace will definitely not be defeated because of this. Someone must take the blame for the whole matter.

And this person cannot be Lu Yan who is the son of the eldest son. Lu Yang, the eldest son of King Changding, is a suitable candidate.

Even though Lu Yang's status in the palace is not as high as his younger brother, but this person works in the household department and has a meticulous personality. Without him, the palace seems to have suffered little loss, but in fact it is like a severed arm.

He said: "Sure enough. In this way, in the eyes of others, the punishment for losing Lu Yang is not too heavy. It is hard to ask for a bail. But for the Lu family themselves, it is a dumb loss."

Qu Chang said: "Actually, I don't know if the prince will make a move. In short, he doesn't have the heart to fight against me. I don't have to worry about him. If he has the heart, then I don't have to hold back. We can win or lose according to our own ability. It’s kind of fun.”

He said that Jing Qianjiang just smiled and listened, and when Qu Changlu finished speaking, he said, "May I ask you a question."

Qu Chang said negatively: "It seems that your question will be a bit offensive. Say it."

Jing Qianjiang said: "Since your accident, I have always wanted to ask, is it sad to be betrayed?"

Qu Chang negative was startled.

Jing Qianjiang said indifferently: "If you really don't care about any suspicion, slander and betrayal, with your intelligence, why didn't you get away early... Qu Changcheng, you are not as ruthless as you said."

His jade-like face was tinged with warmth in the setting sun, but his expression was a bit complicated.

Facing Qu Changshou, Jing Qianjiang has always shown the utmost tenderness, but the expression in his eyes seemed sad and heartbroken.

Life is hard and easy to break, always so proud, very tiring.

Qu Chang negative was only momentarily stunned, and then he said calmly: "Okay, then let's pretend that I have cared. But this caring doesn't take much weight. I have a lot of things to think about."

He glanced at Jing Qianjiang, and said in a calm voice, "It's you, I thought you had changed, but your personality is still the same as before."

Jing Qianjiang laughed at himself, raised his face, with a faint glow between his brows: "I'm determined, everything I'm sure of will remain the same."

The person I like doesn't change.

Whether you care or not, I will never make you feel betrayed or given up.

As expected by Qu Zhang, Lu Yan and others were temporarily detained in the Ministry of Punishment.

After some investigation, it was finally proved that the person who colluded with Cao Tan to resell the military rations was Lu Yang who worked in the household department.

He took advantage of his position and secretly used the seal of Changding Prince's Mansion to replace moldy and old grain, making a lot of ill-gotten wealth.

After being found out by Qu Changcheng, in order to cover up his crime, he did not hesitate to prevent Qu Changcheng from returning to Beijing, and assassinated King Wei to set the blame.

Adding up these crimes, even if Lu Yang was born in a palace, it would be difficult to be forgiven. It only depends on whether the final outcome is exile or beheaded for public display.

In addition to Lu Yang, King Changding was also severely reprimanded by the emperor because he wrote a letter for "teaching his son not strictly".

Lu Yang memorized all the faults by himself because the emperor obviously didn't want this matter to have too much impact. In fact, it was already a good result for the Changding Palace, but they were also seriously injured.

The only thing that can give people some comfort is that after Lu Yang's charges were confirmed, the detention of Lu Yan and other people at the banquet at that time could also be released.

The night before Lu Yan was released, Qu Changshou visited him in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Lu Yan has become a lot haggard. When he saw Qu Changshou, his eyes almost burst into flames, and he gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you appear in front of me!"

In all fairness, although he was in prison, he had a good life, at least the chairs and beds were all available, and they were quite tidy.

Qu Zhangcheng Shi Shiran sat down and said: "Don't be moved, I am an official of the Ministry of Punishment. Lu Shizi will be released tomorrow, so I will drop by to see you."

Lu Yan sneered and said: "Yes, I will be released tomorrow! You should stop complacent here! A sick child who has today but no tomorrow—"

Qu Changnegative took a sip from his teacup without lifting his eyelids: "Xiao Duan, Xiao Wu."

Lu Yan was interrupted and looked up.

I saw the two guards standing behind Qu Changcheng strode towards him, one of them grabbed his collar and punched Lu Yan several times in the stomach.

Just unexpectedly, someone strangled his neck from behind and knocked him down to the ground.

Lu Yan is also skilled in martial arts, but after being locked in the prison for the past few days, he was angry and irritable every day, he didn't eat and rest at all, and he was already very weak.

Qu Zhang negative looked at him condescendingly, and put the teacup back on the table:

"You are physically strong, but unfortunately you have no brains. Why, is Lu Shizi proud to be able to get out of the prison? You want to frame others, but put your whole family in the prison of the Ministry of Justice. You are really rare. .”

Lu Yan sneered and said, "That's because of your despicable means! Don't think it's so easy to deal with the Lu family, Qu Chang, just wait, after I go out, I will have my own means to prevent you from living or dying!"

"Really?"

Qu Changcheng walked up to Lu Yan, raised his foot and stepped on his face, and pressed his head that he had tried to lift firmly to the ground again.

He said coldly: "Your Majesty Lu, you look down on this one and that one all day long, first look at yourself like a bear, whether you are worthy of saying these words. You keep saying that your Lu family, I tell you, the Lu family is over!"

"Your elder brother Lu Yang's conviction is a certainty. Your father has lost all his real power. The reality now is that I am standing here, and you are lying at my feet."

Qu Changlu stepped hard and raised his eyebrows: "Struggling? Do you feel humiliated? Kowtow and beg me, maybe I will consider leaving your aunt's last place in the prime minister's mansion."

Lu Yan had never been treated like this by others in his life, and Qu Chang's words were so contemptuous that he wished he could jump up and beat this man up.

But the opponent's strength was beyond his imagination, Lu Yan was skilled in archery since childhood, yet he was trampled on the ground by such a frail scholar, unable to move.

All the humiliation and setbacks he has suffered in his life have come from this man.

All he could see in his field of vision was the straw on the ground, and the delicate dark patterns on the hem of the other party's hanging clothes.

But he could imagine Qu Chang's cold and arrogant expression at the moment, and imagined the sarcasm in his beautiful eyes.

Anger, mixed with inexplicable throbbing, rose from his chest.

Lu Yan hated it to the extreme, but laughed wildly.

"Master Qu, don't think that everything is under control. Do you really think that Qu Xiang will allow you to act recklessly? Do you really think that my aunt wants to marry into your Qu family? Just wait and see!"

Lu Yan's fingers almost dug into the ground, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged, trying to support his body, so that his posture could look a little better.

"You don't dare to kill me today, you have to let me out obediently. Qu Chang negative, the future will be long, let's wait and see!"

"Really? That's great."

Qu Changlu let go of his leg and kicked Lu Yan away: "I also want to know how far you can go without the backing, under the disdain and contempt of everyone."

These words hit the fear deep in Lu Yan's heart. It is undeniable that he has been protected by his father's aura since he was a child, and all his pride comes from his ignorance that he has never faced wind and rain.

His body was trembling, Qu Zhang smiled leisurely, his clothes fluttered in the air, he turned around and left the prison.

The moment he turned around, the smile on his face disappeared without a trace like faded ink.

Provoking Lu Yan was not to vent his anger, but to test the marriage between Princess Qingchang and Qu Xiao, but it was really as rumored because of the woman's yearning and love.

Or still...from a combination of more interests.

In the midst of the war, the father was protecting the back of the sixth prince when he escaped.

Only one person could be taken away, Qu Xiao chose the emperor's son, not his frail parent-child.

He tried his best to keep up, but he didn't give up on the chase, and what he got in return was getting farther and farther away.

After two years away from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he had already changed a mother when he returned home, and the relationship between father and son was no longer as difficult as before. On the surface, he was honored and favored, but inside he knew the joys and sorrows.

He didn't want to be the prime minister's son, or, he didn't want to be just, the prime minister's son.

Such humble and pitiful people can only wait for other people's charity when they are in danger.

Sometimes, only by standing higher can you be eligible to receive the reward of the truth, to subvert your destiny!

Qu Changlu left the Ministry of Justice, and immediately felt a damp and heavy cold air permeating through his clothes.

It's raining.

The sky is getting dusk, the drizzle is falling, the fallen leaves are falling, sporadic lights are lit on both sides of the road, and the bleak autumn light is everywhere.

Xiao Duan ran down the steps in the rain: "Master, wait a moment, I will drive the carriage over."

Qu Changsheng said, "No need."

Xiao Duan followed his gaze and saw that someone was strolling with a paper umbrella. The surface of the umbrella was painted with lily lilies, but it was a scene of spring.

Qu Chang's eyes were sharp, and he had already seen the carriage and attendants of Prince Jing's mansion waiting not far away, so he said, "His Royal Highness is also here to handle business in the Ministry of Punishment?"

Jing Qianjiang moved the umbrella to the top of his head, and said, "I am going to the Ministry of War. The emperor has ordered me to hand over the tiger talisman that was trapped in the camp to King Zong so that he can lead the troops to support the Song family army. We will leave tomorrow."

Qu Chang negative was taken aback.

Before Jing Qianjiang became the king, the trapped camp had been under his command. It was a well-trained and elite army.

Jing Qianjiang's status is special, the emperor has doubts about him, but so far, he is mostly guilty and doted on.

It was impossible for him to issue such a decree, it must have been requested by Jing Qianjiang himself.

But Zong Wang, the emperor and the former crown prince are all compatriots of the same mother, and their nature is the most lazy and sloppy, and they have no achievements. The queen mother is very worried about him, but she also loves him very much.

Such an ancestor being urged by Jing Qianjiang to "help the Song family" is equivalent to sending a life-saving talisman to Grand Master Song, and no one in the court will dare to hold back in terms of material reinforcements.

To put it bluntly, Jing Qianjiang traded part of the military power in his hands for the safety of the Song family.

Qu Chang said: "Trapped in the camp, are you really willing?"

Jing Qianjiang said: "If there is a loss, there must be a gain. The Song family is safe, which is beneficial to me."

He smiled half-truthfully and half-falsely: "It's you who said that people go to high places. Although I am not a prince, I also want to pursue something of my own."

The rain gradually subsided, and the clothes were almost covered with mist. The two walked side by side along the street, without any intention of getting into the carriage, and the two cars drove far away and followed behind.

What Jing Qianjiang said was actually a bit outrageous, but in the autumn and spring under the umbrella, those who said it and those who listened did not change their expressions.

Qu Chang negative even said: "Since His Highness is determined to show his grand plans, I have two pieces of news here, why don't I tell you?"

Unexpectedly, Jing Qianjiang flatly refused: "I won't listen."

Qu Chang was taken aback, but Jing Qianjiang laughed instead, and said, "I really don't want to listen. This is beyond the content of our cooperation. I don't need you to tell me these things, and I don't want you to tell me these things."

Qu Changcheng was silent for a moment: "That's up to you."

As the rain gradually subsided, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased, and people's voices were noisy, and the food stalls beside the road were steaming with aroma and heat.

Qu Chang negative signaled Jing Qianjiang to put away the umbrella, when he suddenly heard laughter and commotion from the river bank not far away.

The two looked at it, but they didn't know where the pilgrims from the temple came to release the river lanterns.

With a flick of the huge curtain, hundreds of river lanterns floated into the river water like stars flowing from the sky.

"His Royal Highness King Jing."

Qu Zhang's cold voice sounded amidst the lively laughter: "I told you last time that if a road is going to go far, you have to be cruel. Don't take the old relationship too seriously. Look, it's wet The river lantern always sinks quickly."

Jing Qianjiang followed his gaze, and after a while, those river lanterns had almost been salvaged, leaving only a few sporadic ones floating on the water, beautiful and lonely.

He smiled, and suddenly put the umbrella into Qu Chang's hands: "You take it!"

Then he ran to the bank of the river in two steps, and amidst the exclamation, he simply jumped in, swam to the edge of the river lantern in a few strokes, picked one and held it in one hand, and swam back neatly.

The guards of Prince Jing's Mansion were taken aback, and rushed over to pull him, but Jing Qianjiang said, "Get up to the side", and jumped back to the shore.

He was drenched all over, and the flame of the river lantern flickered twice, but it remained steady.

The onlookers applauded and laughed kindly.

Jing Qianjiang glanced down, held Qu Zhang in front of him, and said with a smile: "It says 'healthy body, all diseases disappear', which means very good."

He wiped the water off his face with his sleeve, and said softly, "Look, didn't it sink?"

Qu Zhang negative said speechlessly: "You are really a lunatic."

Jing Qianjiang said with a smile: "In life, it is a blessing to be able to be crazy! If you just need to be crazy enough, your wish can be fulfilled, I am willing to be a lunatic!"

Qu Changling paused for a moment, and suddenly laughed too. He threw Jing Qianjiang's umbrella into the arms of his bodyguard, turned around and walked towards the carriage behind him.

His pace was still the same, and when he walked out, he didn't miss it.

"His Royal Highness, the more you live, the more Zen-like you are. I am looking forward to it. The future fun of this road—"

Qu Chang said: "But let's say goodbye today, you should go back and change your clothes, Your Highness."

After Qu Changlu left, Jing Qianjiang got into the carriage.

At this time, the weather was already very cold, and the attendants of Prince Jing's Mansion quickly lit the heater in the carriage, and found dry handkerchiefs and coats.

Jing Qianjiang wiped his face with a handkerchief, and suddenly asked: "Fu Bao, did you see it just now?"

Fu Bao was waiting on the sidelines, but he was startled when he heard this, and said cautiously: "No, the servant didn't see anything?"

Jing Qianjiang said impatiently: "How could you not see it? You are not blind! When I showed Mr. Qu the river lantern, your neck stretched out like a duck!"

Fu Bao: "...Oh."

Jing Qianjiang asked again: "Then do you think he was happy just now?"

Fubao said: "Young Master Qu laughed, so he shouldn't reject it. Didn't he also ask His Highness to change clothes, because he cares about you."

Jing Qianjiang didn't dare to think so well. Hearing Fubao's words, he couldn't help but startled: "Didn't his words mock me for being buried in water?"

When Fu Bao thought about it, it might be true, but when he looked at Jing Qianjiang, he found that the prince was asking anxiously with his handkerchief tightly in his hands, quite like his little sister who was in Huaichun.

So he said: "Even if it meant that, it was just a joke with His Highness. If it wasn't for fear of catching cold, why bother reminding you to change your clothes."

Jing Qianjiang knew that he would definitely pick up something nice to say, but he couldn't hold back his joy, and the corners of his lips curled up slightly.

He quickly pursed his lower lip, and said calmly, "Understood, let's go out."

When he was the only one left in the carriage, Jing Qianjiang wiped his face vigorously with the handkerchief that was about to wring out water, and wiped a few red marks on his fair skin.

"Would you really... care about me?" He murmured.
