Brother Donggong

There is no human habitation in front of you, only a big willow tree.

——"Stupid, look up!!"

I followed the sound and looked up to see Wen Zhan hanging on this big green and yellow willow tree... Maybe it would be more appropriate to say that Wen Zhan sat on it.He was sitting on a trembling wicker branch, wearing a Hu suit with a straight collar and sword sleeves, a faint smile on his lips, looking clean and fresh, like a bird.

I looked up, "What are you doing sitting on a tree?"

He said, "If you want to see different things, different people, you have to sit in a different place. Guess what I just heard?"

He even kicked his feet like a little kid.I watched the wicker under his butt tremble slightly, as if it might break off at any moment.

I hurried over and grabbed the hem of his clothes, "Come down first before talking, don't fall."

"Huh?" Wen Zhan tilted his head, "Don't be in a hurry to ask why I caught Cui Bicheng, but let me go down first. Can I understand that you are caring about me?"

He is always like this, always piercing my heart with a few words, so that I don't know how to answer him.

I said it again, "Come down first."

Wen Zhan didn't pursue it, and didn't say anything anymore, he jumped down swiftly, almost silently.

Dazheng's princes all practice martial arts, and Wen Zhan's long sword and light kungfu are good. Although he is not as good as a real killer, he is more than enough to shoot, jump over walls, steal peaches and kill rabbits by himself.Didn't he chase me all over the Dazheng Palace with a long sword back then, but I rushed into his bedroom while my father was pampering my concubine, and I was fined to kneel down in Wenhua Palace along with the prince.

Oh, speaking of the Wenhua Palace, I thought of it, shouldn't the prince be copying scriptures in the Wenhua Palace now?

Me, "Father asked you to kneel in the Wenhua Palace, why did you sneak out? It's not good for others to see."

"It doesn't matter." Wen Zhan straightened his sleeves and said indifferently, "I asked Liu Congrong to wear my clothes and kneel in the Wenhua Palace, and from the outside, it would just look like I was kneeling there. "

Me, "Liu Congrong will definitely not sue you, what should others do if they see it?"

Wen Zhan suddenly stopped talking, he pursed his lips, and looked at me sideways, "It's long-winded. Others saw it? If others know about it, I'll leave the crown prince to someone else."

I suddenly felt that the crown prince and Cui Bicheng were actually quite alike.

Full of hostility.

I can't make them less hostile, this group of people seem to be born with no idea what is "convenience to others, compromise and compromise", it seems to them that the virtues of these ordinary people are just a group of distant and irrelevant Li Shu, which is quite weird and absurd fallacy.

I saw him jumping down, he was fine everywhere, so I was relieved.Over there, I was thinking about Lao Cui's matter, so I said to him, "Now there are many people in the palace, you go back first, don't let the third child's people, or the Du family's people see it, and then instigate the imperial envoy to attend you." One book, then you can wait to spend the whole spring in Wenhua Palace."

But Wen Zhan grabbed me, dragged me and walked towards the water pavilion on the other side of the lake, as if he didn't care about other people's eyeliner at all.

"Although the words are not pleasant, but because you care about me anyway, I won't pursue it with you."

While being dragged away by him, I struggled, "Hey, hey! Don't drag me like this. I have something to look for today, Cui Bicheng, and I will go to Wenhua Palace to find you after the banquet over there."

"No." Wen Zhan didn't turn his head, "I don't believe you still remember to look for me."

Seeing that he didn't listen to what he said, I had no choice but to retreat, "Okay, okay, I'll go with you, don't pull me by the collar. I'm not a sack, I've been dragged around by you all day , what's the matter?"

"Hmph! If only you were a sack, I'll hide you in the East Palace every day. No one needs to socialize. Just wait for me to find you..."

With a snap, I shook his hand away.

Wen Zhan paused for a moment before turning around.

"what happened again."

Me, "I don't like it when you talk like that."

Wen Zhan, "I'm just talking casually."

What he said, no matter if he said it sincerely, as a joke, or just casually, it made people extremely uncomfortable.I am not a thing, let alone his, and I don't want to be taken by him in any form.

I gritted my teeth, "I don't like you talking so casually either."

"Chengyi..."

"Although I don't like to hear what you said, I'm still very happy that you can tell me." Wen Zhan closed his eyes, "Chengyi, I've wanted to tell you these words for a long time, so I will pick you carefully Say what you like, but now I don't want to do this. I usually use enough scheming to talk to others, and I don't want to do this to you anymore. What I say to you, whether it is what you like to hear or not, is true. "

He took a step.

"If you like to hear what I say, you can tell me and let me be happy too. If you don't like to listen to it, you can also tell me. If you can change it, I will change it. If you can't change it, I will tell you too. .”

"I like how we get along...because, we're reconciled..."

Oh yes, we've 'reconciled'.

Because they reconciled, they can't be perfunctory casually, and they can't make jokes like they did in the past.

Because of the 'reconciliation', to talk to him, you need to peel off all the masks, all the pretense, and talk with the most authentic heart.

However, at this time, I suddenly realized that the original feeling of being unrestrained, real, and unhidden had long since disappeared.I'm used to putting a thick layer of white powder on my face, just like an actor on a water mirror stage.

I have to work very hard to dig out the truth in my heart bit by bit.

I don't know if he is the same way.

It's just too hard to do.

Wen Zhan didn't wait for me to speak again, he walked up to me, didn't pull my collar or my clothes, he said, "It's too windy here, and there's water vapor on the water, it's too cold, we're here After staying for a long time, be careful of catching the wind and cold. You go to Qingfeng on the Green Island with me first, and I have something to tell you. It's about Cui Bicheng.

He caused a catastrophe, and the 1000 million taels of silver he had privately hid, even if he ransacked his family and wiped out his family, would not be able to pay for his crime.

It is really unwise for him to rely on the Du family's black account to bargain, because in the end he will definitely get burned.

Those black accounts were Du Yuanze's private accounts of accepting bribes in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, hiding salt taxes, buying and selling salt, and merging land. So many people were involved, and the wealth and lives of many people in the court were all on him alone. Do you still want to coerce these people to protect him?What a fool's dream!Those who were caught by him in the black background wished to kill him and tear him apart, and they would not compromise. "

"Every man is innocent, but he is guilty."

"You understand this sentence, and Cui Bicheng should understand it too."

"Now that the Cui family has gained power, the Cui family has become a noble concubine, and has the favor of the emperor. It is not what it used to be. However, no matter how noble the Cui family is, in the final analysis, they are just relatives who once gained power. They only rely on their father. The favor of the emperor. However, the favor of the emperor can be given to you today, and it can be given to others tomorrow. Those are like floating clouds than winter snow and spring flowers, so don’t even think about being able to stand against the tyrannical old Du Ge.”

"In today's world, the only person who can save Cui Bicheng's life is me."

Wen Zhan's words were so clear and sharp, like a knife, it directly cut out all the pretense and excuses in my heart, leaving me without even a chance to breathe.

He's telling the truth.

According to Du Yuanze's words, if my father knows that Cui Bicheng has concealed 1000 million taels of silver for nearly ten years, if he doesn't chop up old Cui and make buns to eat, I will take his surname!

but……

In this world, the person who is least likely to save Cui Bicheng is the crown prince.

Because, Cui Bicheng once killed the person he cared about most.
