Qu Changlu was very busy these past few days. After the two people from the household department left, the servants immediately brought up the breakfast that had just been made.Qu Changlu didn't waste time, and while eating, he ordered someone to call Xiao Duan.

After a while, Su Xuan and Xiao Duan entered the door together.

Qu Chang said negatively: "Why did Mr. Su come so early? Please take a seat, but I'm afraid this meal is not enough."

Su Xuan's lips curled into a gentle arc, and he sat down opposite Qu Chang negative, wiped his hands with a handkerchief, picked up an egg and peeled it for him, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I came here after dinner , I dare not argue with you."

He looked at Qu Chang's haggard look, and lowered his eyes slightly, hiding a trace of distress.

Both of them wanted Qu Changcheng to finish the meal safely, but they also knew that it was impossible for him to leave things alone.

Qu Changlu was not polite to Su Xuan either, and asked, "Have you found out about those Xiqiang people? What should I say?"

Qu Changlu was besieged and killed by Xiqiang people before, and they wanted to capture him and threaten the Song family, so there was an inner ghost among the guards in his arms.

Xiao Duan was very furious because of this matter, and after he came back, he investigated without sleep, and finally got some clues.

"Master, there is nothing suspicious about the people who followed you that day. Only Fang Hai mentioned that the steward Wang of the Song Mansion wrote to say that the Fourth Young Master Song was very worried about your trip, so he asked Fang Hai to pay more attention. Keep an eye on you, if you go to any dangerous place, he must inform you in time."

Steward Wang is also an old man in Song Taishi's mansion, and Fang Hai is also a guard of the Song family. The two have a good relationship, and it seems reasonable to give such a favor.

Then, after checking and checking, it turns out that the person who killed Qu Chang is actually in the Song family?

Qu Changlu drank a spoonful of porridge slowly, without saying a word.

Xiao Duan worried: "Master..."

"Send someone back to take a look." Qu Chang said negatively, "If what you said is true, Steward Wang is probably dead by now."

Xiao Duan said: "This subordinate told the second master about this matter."

The second master he was talking about was Song Mingfeng, the second uncle of Qu Changling. He didn't go out with Grand Master Song, and he was currently in charge of the Song family.

Qu Changlu had an idea in an instant: "Don't use it for now. This matter can be regarded as doing me a favor. The task of killing Master Zhu will fall on these Xiqiang people. You go first."

Xiao Duan got up, saluted and left, Su Xuan said: "Maybe this Steward Wang was bought by other people, and has nothing to do with the Song family."

Qu Chang said negatively: "It's not a matter of irrelevance, let's find out and talk about it."

This sentence suddenly reminded Su Xuan of his previous life. He found that there were secret guards around Qu Changnegative, who were probably the prince's people, so he went to tell him to beware of Qi Hui.

At that time, Qu Zhang negative answer was, "It doesn't matter who it is, as long as you monitor it, just monitor it. There is nothing shameful about me for the time being."

Su Xuan couldn't understand his reaction at the time, a person as arrogant as Qu Changlu didn't have to tolerate what the prince did.

But after Qu Chang's death, he thought about it again, and suddenly realized that the other party probably knew that his time was running out, so hurry up and complete what should be done, and being suspicious and suspicious is not so worth caring about. .

But wasn't his death due to Qi Hui's suspicion?

It was the prince first, and now it was the Song family. He didn't care about it at all, but erected a high wall to prevent outsiders from approaching, and he didn't want to reveal his sincerity to anyone.

He couldn't help holding Qu Changnegative's wrist, as if he was afraid that the other party would disappear again, he held it extremely tightly.

"You are always like this. You support everything by yourself, and you don't say anything when you are unhappy."

Su Xuan had no choice but to smile bitterly: "You are a human being, no matter what, you are still a body of flesh and blood. Do you have to make yourself so tired? You, you..."

Qu Chang negative laughed instead: "Su Xuan, have you forgotten that you once pointed to my nose after drinking and said that I was a wolf, what's the matter, you have not become a prime minister in this life, and you have become cowardly? "

When he mentioned this matter, Su Xuan wanted to laugh again, but couldn't do anything with Qu Zhang, so he let go of his hand: "I'm sorry."

He is conceited and smart, but in his two lifetimes he has not seen through Qu Chang's negative.What kind of person is he and what does he want?

There are contradictions in his words and deeds everywhere, he is so strong and indifferent, but always... makes people worry.

But even if you can't understand it, you can't understand it, this person has already become a poison that has penetrated into his bones, and people can no longer let go.

But fate played tricks, and he had to let go.

Su Xuan lowered his eyes: "You want to reveal to Zhu Chengluan that the Xiqiang people killed you?"

His topic changed too quickly, Qu Changlu paused, and then said: "The one who knows me is Su Jinyan."

Su Xuan chuckled lightly and said, "In that case, leave it to me."

Qu Chang said: "Okay, I'm relieved to leave it to you... But I still have something to ask you, you must answer truthfully, you are not allowed to hide, and you are not allowed to evade."

Su Xuan was startled, and then said with a smile: "Your question is so forceful, it made me a little panicked."

Qu Chang said: "I can only scare you with words, after all, if you don't answer, I have nothing to do."

He looked at Su Xuan: "I don't ask what happened in the last life, you just need to tell me how you and King Jing died."

Su Xuan's smile faded a bit: "You mainly want to ask him?"

Qu Chang negative said: "Both of you need to know. Say it."

After all, Su Xuan was not someone who could win over Qu Zhang, so he was silent for a while, and could only avoid his eyes in embarrassment, and sighed: "Okay, okay."

He spoke a little faster, and said himself first: "The last time I died in my last life was because of my political stance, I was regarded as a thorn in the side, and I was assassinated to death. Wait until King Jing——"

He paused, but still said calmly: "Not long after you died, he committed suicide before the cliff you jumped off. I admire and envy this intention."

Qu Chang's hand holding the chopsticks stopped.

Regarding Jing Qianjiang's death method, he thought of many possibilities, but Qu Changnegative didn't even consider that the other party would die in love.

From the beginning to the end, Jing Qianjiang was a person who made him completely miscalculate.

He has always been good at guessing people's hearts, and he has made every decision, but Jing Qianjiang's reaction every time is always beyond his expectations.

——Obviously the two have known each other for so long, so I should know him best.

But in the end, it was Jing Qianjiang who understood what he was thinking, but Qu Changlu couldn't figure out what was in the other's head.

At that moment, the anger surged up in my heart, even I didn't know why.

Jing Qianjiang was on the go for days, got up late in the morning, and had no time to eat, so he had to rush out of the city to check the resettlement of the victims.

He hadn't walked out of the post house when he saw Qu Changcheng leading the people walking outside, and Jing Qianjiang called out, "Xiao Xia!"

Qu Zhang had a negative expression and was indifferent, but he walked straight out as if he didn't hear it.

Jing Qianjiang felt that something was wrong, strode up to catch up with him, and held his arm: "What's wrong with you?"

Qu Changlu shook off his hand, and said flatly, "It's nothing, I'm going out of the city."

Jing Qianjiang was startled, looked at his face, and secretly guessed why he provoked him: "I... too, together?"

Qu Changshou was so angry this time that he didn't even want to look at him, so he went out of the city with Bie Ti.

As a result, Jing Qianjiang didn't even have the slightest sense of sight, and kept bumping into him, which made people even more irritated.

Qu Chang's delicate eyebrows twitched, and said calmly: "Then you can go by yourself."

Jing Qianjiang said: "What about you?"

Qu Chang negative said: "I'll go back and rest."

He was straightforward, turned around and went back to the room after he finished speaking. Jing Qianjiang stood there for a while, then chased after him without speaking, and silently fell behind half a step, following behind Qu Changlong.

The inexplicable back and forth between the two threw the guards led by Qu Changlong to the spot.

A group of people stood there in bewilderment, wanting to follow but dared not, so they could only look at Xiao Duan.

Xiao Duan: "...Let's go outside the city first."

After they left, only Qu Changnegative and Jing Qianjiang were left, one behind the other, and turned back into the yard.

Qu Changyin went straight into his bedroom without looking back, and walked around the door.

But Jing Qianjiang blocked it with his hand in time, tripped and squeezed in through the crack of the door at the same time.

Qu Chang's eyes were so cold that he almost froze to death: "What are you following me for?"

Jing Qianjiang leaned back against the door to prevent him from going out or being thrown out by him, and said with a smile: "I followed you all the way from the capital to here, so naturally I have to follow you to the end."

He thought for a while, then softly called "Xiao Xia", and said softly, "If you don't tell me why you are angry, how can I leave without worry?"

"alright."

Seeing him pestering him endlessly, Qu Chang's tense expression slowly relaxed, but the smile on his lips still had a bit of chill.

He folded his hands, looked at Jing Qianjiang for a moment, and then said: "His Royal Highness, since you have to find something to say, let's talk about your suicide in your last life."

Jing Qianjiang was taken aback, and then he quickly realized that someone had leaked the news, and gritted his teeth and said angrily: "Su Xuan!"

Qu Chang said: "It seems to be true. Why did you do this? Are you sick?"

Jing Qianjiang coughed and said in a low voice, "I...shouldn't have..."

Qu Changlu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and said, "Do you know how much effort I spent in order to transfer you away without arousing Qi Hui's doubts? In the end, all the planning was in vain. It's on top of your death!"

There was a hint of anger in his voice, and he said coldly: "I originally thought that it would be good to save one more. What you did was unnecessary. Next time, if you don't want to live, tell me earlier, so I won't bother you." exhausting."

Jing Qianjiang heard these words in his ears, and couldn't help but look deeply at Qu Changcheng. The panic and bewilderment when he was exposed at the beginning gradually faded away, but he didn't know what it was like in his heart.

He went over to hold Qu Chang's hand, and said softly: "Get angry and hurt yourself, don't be angry..."

Qu Chang raised his eyebrows, and pulled out his hand impatiently, there was still anger in his brows—even though he himself couldn't say clearly what he was really angry about.

The two were speechless for a while, and after a while, Jing Qianjiang said in a low voice: "I did this, not because it was necessary or not. I always knew that you wanted me to be alone. I just... I just don't have you , really can’t survive.”

Qu Chang negative raised his eyes awe-inspiringly.

My heart seemed to be brushed away by a silver-white electric light, and all kinds of emotions that had been suppressed in my chest suddenly surged up, lingering and entangled.

The past and the past are all in my heart.

He has always felt disapproving of the word love. Whether it is the abandonment and frame-up he has suffered, or the choice of the indomitable path, emotion is not a necessary thing.

Therefore, he has always disliked those sweet words and confiding his heart, and he is dispensable to those who follow around him and are obsessed with him.

Because he knows that many words have already violated what he thought in his heart the moment he uttered them, and most of the promises are just words and cannot be taken seriously.

He himself is like this.

But all the things that have been determined for so many years have now been overturned bit by bit by Jing Qianjiang.

Qu Chang negative originally thought that he didn't care what the other party said, but at this moment he clearly remembered that Jing Qianjiang once said, "You live and I live, and you die and I die. Where are you, where am I".

He originally thought it was hypocritical and sneered.

Qu Changcheng remained silent.

Seeing him like this, Jing Qianjiang suddenly felt sore in his heart, but smiled on his face.

He held Qu Chang's hand again, pulled him to sit next to him, smiled deliberately and said, "No matter what, it's a thing of the past! If you're not happy, we won't talk about it in the future, isn't it good?" ?"

He rubbed the center of Qu Chang's eyebrows with his fingers, and said softly: "Actually, you care about my life and death, even if you scold me, I'm also very happy... But it's really my fault in this matter, you bothered to protect me, I shouldn't let you down, but I... well, that's why I haven't told you."

Qu Changlu rolled up his sleeves slightly, glanced at him, and said, "Why do you say such things, I'm not a three-year-old child! Who cares about your life or death, I just thought that I had already arranged all the funeral affairs properly, As soon as the result comes to you, there are always changes and changes, which makes people unhappy!"

He seemed to feel that these words were unreasonable, and added: "Besides, after all, we still have some old friendships. I don't want to see people I know die because of me. It's the same for anyone else. .”

He said that Jing Qianjiang listened with a smile and did not refute: "Yes, I know what you said."

"You——" Qu Zhang negatively looked at him angrily, as if he wanted to say something, but he just shook his head after all, "That's all..."

The usual cold and desolate expression, like frost, once again covered his face that had just shown a little vitality, Qu Changlu sighed slowly: "That's all."

He was about to get up, but Jing Qianjiang clenched his hand even more tightly, and kissed him lightly on his lips.

He said: "Actually, you don't have to think about anything. I'm happy to be with you no matter what. Things like these are not because of you. It's just a choice of mine. I'm happy with it."

He spoke very seriously, and Juanjuan's eyes looked over from his black and white pupils, gentle and emotional.

Amidst the turmoil of love and chaos, Qu Changsheng's memorial was also sent to the capital, and Longyan was delighted to learn that the matter of the hungry people had been resolved.

The result was similar to Qu Chang's expectation, the emperor pardoned Su Xuan's crimes, and ordered Qu Chang to be promoted to Youqian capital censor, and also to be a doctor of the Ministry of punishment.

In this way, Qu Zhang retains his original powers and responsibilities, but his official title has been raised by a higher level, and it is just around the corner to become a full-time official.

But for Zhu Chengluan, there is no other punishment in the imperial decree except for the reprimand that does not hurt the root.

A few days later, Xue Guoen, the eunuch who washed horses in front of the imperial court, sent it over in person, and rewarded him with various elixir and supplements in the palace for his meritorious service in evacuating the refugees, and at the same time warned Zhu Chengluan.

Zhu Chengluan and Qu Changlu received the decree side by side, both of them knew in their hearts that Xue Guoen's decree was false, but in fact he was equivalent to the emperor's eyes and ears.

It was Emperor Longyu who wanted to let himself, his confidant, take a good look at what was going on between Qu Changlu and Zhu Chengluan, and whether the situation here was really as they had said.

These people are all good people. After the imperial decree was read out, Zhu Chengluan said: "Mr. Xue has come all the way. It has been hard work. Now that the decree has been conveyed, if you are not in a hurry to go back and answer the order, let Zhu do his best. Yi, treat me well for a few days."

His words just hit Xue Guoen's heart.

Xue Guoen said with a smile: "Master Zhu is kind, and I can't refuse it. Just don't delay the business of the two adults. You are the pillars of the country. Before I left Beijing, Your Majesty also said that there are two adults guarding this place." , is the blessing of Huiyang!"

The meaning inside and outside the words is to say that the two of you should be harmonious, friendly, tolerant of each other, and don't fight among yourself.

Both Qu Changcheng and Zhu Chengluan could understand the meaning, so they sneered contemptuously in their hearts.

Qu Zhang said with a smile: "What Xue Gong said is that I am new here and I don't understand anything. Many things can be done, and I still rely on Master Zhu's cooperation."

Zhu Chengluan also said with a hearty smile: "Master Qu...you are too polite! Your ability and intelligence are what Zhu admires!"

He still couldn't be as shameless as Qu Changhong. After saying these two sentences, he gritted his teeth and couldn't say anything nice, so he said, "Please, Xue Gongmin, let's sit down and talk if we have something to say."
