Ji Qingzhou and Qin Zheng basked in the sun for a while, and the fruit came after a while.

Ji Qingzhou thought for a while, but didn't let him stay, and sent him away with only a few words.

"Why, you don't plan to investigate anymore?" After Guozi left, Qin Zheng asked Ji Qingzhou.

"I think the answer is probably in this alley." Ji Qingzhou said: "We have been to all the places that Xiaoshan can go, and there is no place where he can meet any man and have frequent private meetings, only here... It’s outside the palace wall, but it’s still inside the imperial city, and there are few people coming and going.”

Qin Zheng nodded and said, "Then you plan to wait here?"

"How about we make another bet?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

"What's the bet?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Bet on whether that man has any affection for Xiaoshan." Ji Qingzhou said.

Ruoji Qingzhou's expectation is right, Xiaoshan and that person did meet in this alley, so now that something happened to Xiaoshan, even if that person dare not stand up and take responsibility, at least he should come to the place where the two of them made love ?

Xiaoshan intends to bury his relics here...

"Do you think he will come?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Perhaps, unless he has no affection for Xiaoshan and is a ungrateful person!" Ji Qingzhou said, "Or I guessed the wrong place at all."

"Then you bet that he will come or not?" Qin Zheng asked again.

"I bet he...won't come." Ji Qingzhou said.

Qin Zheng sighed and said, "I've had very bad luck in gambling these few days, but this time I hope you can win."

Looking at the empty long alley in the distance, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help but think of Xiao Shan's eyes when he handed him the jade.Ji Qingzhou didn't quite understand that look at the time, and only vaguely felt a little gentle, but now that he thinks about it again, he only feels sore in his heart.

When Xiao Shan decided to die, what was he thinking?

Are you sure that man is worth giving up his life, or is there a tinge of uncertainty?

That day, Ji Qingzhou and Qin Zheng sat on the flower bed until the sun went down, and there was no one waiting.

Ji Qingzhou had already won the bet, but when he thought of the tenderness in Xiaoshan's eyes, he felt a little unwilling.

He won, but he hoped that Xiao Shan didn't lose.

So early the next morning, Ji Qingzhou went to the long alley again and waited until noon.

The person he was waiting for did not show up, but unexpectedly saw Tang Yi who led the little emperor out of the corner gate.

The little emperor and Tang Yi followed several attendants, all of whom knew Ji Qingzhou. When he saw him changing into a gray robe and sitting by the flower bed in the long alley, he was a little stunned. He met Li.

"Why are you here?" When the little emperor saw Ji Qingzhou, he immediately smiled and trotted into his arms.

Ji Qingzhou reached out to embrace him, and asked, "Why did you come out of the palace?"

"Didn't the emperor say before that you can leave the palace? As long as you don't leave the imperial city." The little emperor said.

This was what Li Zhan said when Ji Qingzhou was walking around with the little emperor, but now the little emperor is cheaper.Anyway, the imperial city is also within the guarding range of the imperial army, and all the people walking around inside are palace people, so there will be no security problems.

Ji Qingzhou looked at Tang Yi and asked, "Are you going to bring His Majesty out?"

"Back to Eunuch Ji, His Majesty's little rabbit was lost last night. His Majesty felt uncomfortable, so the little one wanted to find another one for His Majesty." Tang Yi said.

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou frowned and said: "It's very good, how can you just throw it away?"

"The cage door was not closed tightly and slipped out. It's been hot these days, and His Majesty thought the room was too stuffy, so he refused to close the door, and the rabbit slipped out when no one was prepared." Tang Yi said: "Your Majesty's bedroom and nearby I searched all over the garden, but I couldn't find it. The little one was afraid that His Majesty would feel uncomfortable, so I thought about asking for another one."

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou looked at the little emperor and said, "Your Majesty, go in and pick one yourself."

"You go with me." The little emperor held his hand and said.

"Let Xiao Tang accompany His Majesty." Ji Qingzhou coaxed.

Xiao Tang hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I will accompany you in to pick out a new one, I hope you like it."

The little emperor didn't look at him, he just lay in Ji Qingzhou's arms and refused to leave.Seeing this, Ji Qingzhou said to Xiaotang: "Go in and help Your Majesty choose, I will accompany Your Majesty here to bask in the sun." Tang Yi went into the yard when he heard this.

As soon as Tang Yi stepped in, Qin Zheng walked over from a distance.

He still changed into that gray robe today, he seemed to be used to wearing it, but he didn't feel disgusted anymore.

"Hey, why is Your Majesty here?" Seeing the little prince nestled in Ji Qingzhou's arms, Qin Zheng smiled and said, "Your Majesty hasn't seen you for the past two days, and I don't think about tea and food. I didn't expect that I would come to you today." gone."

Seeing Qin Zheng coming, Ji Qingzhou sent a few attendants who followed the little emperor into the yard, and then asked the little emperor, "Didn't I tell you that the rabbit is too small to be released? How could it be?" Forgot to close the cage door?"

"I remember your words." The little emperor said a little disappointed, "I obviously didn't open the cage last night."

Hearing the words, Ji Qingzhou looked into the distance, a trace of coldness flashed in his eyes, then he restrained his emotions, and said to the little emperor in a gentle voice: "I don't blame you, just go and let Xiaotang help you choose another one." That's all."

"But I don't like what he picked, I want you to pick it." The little emperor leaned on him and said coquettishly.

"Your Majesty asked you to choose, so you can help him choose." Qin Zheng said from the side.

Ji Qingzhou lowered his head and asked the little emperor, "Did you say you want another one today?"

"I didn't say that." The little emperor shook his head and said, "Xiao Tang said there are a lot of rabbits here, so he insisted on showing me."

Hearing this, Ji Qingzhou nodded and said: "If you don't want it, then we don't want it. Last time I shouldn't have coaxed you with that rabbit just to make you happy. This is what I did wrong, so I won't coax you like this in the future. "

Ji Qingzhou didn't think too much about it at the time, only worried that the little emperor would feel uncomfortable because of the rabbit stewed by Qin Zheng, so he found another one for him.Now that I think about it again, there is something wrong with it.

Not a few days later, someone started to follow his example to coax the little emperor.

If the little emperor gets used to eating this set, sooner or later he will become a fool...

"We will never raise rabbits again in the future." Ji Qingzhou said.

The little emperor seemed to understand but didn't understand, but seeing that Ji Qingzhou's expression was not as tangled as before, he immediately grinned at him.Ji Qingzhou picked up the little emperor and walked into the small courtyard. In the courtyard, Xiao Tang was coming out with two rabbits, intending to let the little emperor take a look.

"I don't like either of them." The little emperor shook his head and said.

"There... there are a few smaller ones in here, slaves..." Xiao Tang was interrupted by Qin Zheng halfway through his speech. Qin Zheng took the little emperor from Ji Qingzhou's arms and said, "Your Majesty suddenly said I don't like rabbits anymore, so I'll take him around to see if His Majesty has anything else he wants to raise."

The little emperor was overjoyed immediately when he heard the words, Qin Zheng hugged him and went out, leaving Tang Yi with two rabbits in his hands.

"Young Master Qin is here with His Majesty, you go back first." Ji Qingzhou said to everyone.

Tang Yi wanted to say something after hearing the words, but Ji Qingzhou went straight away and ignored him.

In the long alley, the little emperor was riding on Qin Zheng's neck, laughing happily.

Qin Zheng waited not far away, and when he saw Ji Qingzhou coming out, he waved to him, and Ji Qingzhou walked towards him immediately.

"What's the matter, is there something wrong?" Qin Zheng asked.

"Well." Ji Qingzhou said: "Let's pursue this matter later."

After Ji Qingzhou finished speaking, he glanced at the little emperor, which meant not to discuss this matter in front of the little emperor.

Qin Zheng may be slow to other things, but he is very sensitive to these scheming palace people, and he guessed the reason before Ji Qingzhou explained.In fact, he also saw earlier that the little emperor seemed to like the rabbit, but because the rabbit was given to him by Ji Qingzhou.

These two days, when Ji Qingzhou was away, the little emperor took the rabbit with him everywhere, but when Ji Qingzhou was present, the little emperor preferred to be with Ji Qingzhou.

That being the case, after the rabbit was lost, the little emperor's first reaction must be to find Ji Qingzhou, not a new rabbit.

There is no need to guess what happened today, Tang Yi must have lied...

Ji Qingzhou was a little wary of Tang Yi before, because in the original book, Tang Yi was his dog's leg, and he did many evil things with him.Ji Qingzhou had been entangled before, but he didn't know whether this Tang Yi was spoiled by Ji Qingzhou in the original book, or there was something wrong with his nature.

But now it seems that Ji Qingzhou's precautions are not superfluous.

Ji Qingzhou sighed softly, and secretly hoped that it was his villainous heart, otherwise it would be a disaster for Tang Yi to keep this person.

"I heard the horse barking!" The little emperor pointed to a short distance away and said, "Let's go over there."

Qin Zheng carried the little emperor on his back and trotted towards the place where the horse neighed.

The garden at the end of the long alley raised a lot of palace horses, and there was a racecourse behind the garden. Although it was not too big, it could still run horses.

"Wow, so many horses!" The little emperor was carried by Qin Zheng to the side of the stable and wanted to touch the horses. Qin Zheng didn't know the temperament of those horses, so he didn't dare to let him get too close, and only let him watch from a few steps away. look.

When the horse breeder saw the little emperor coming to see the horse in person, he was very courteous, and hurriedly found a docile pony to present to the little emperor.Seeing that the little emperor liked it, Qin Zheng called a group of patrolling guards and told them to watch over the little emperor to prevent him from falling off the horse.

"No wonder His Majesty likes you." Qin Zheng said to Ji Qingzhou: "I heard from the prince that before you entered the palace, His Majesty was either trapped in the palace school or the imperial study all day long. He had hardly been anywhere. If it weren't for you Given that suggestion, how could His Majesty have a chance to leave the palace? I’m afraid I might not even be in the palace today.”

Qin Zheng was moved to enter the palace because Li Zhan took the little emperor to another garden.

Speaking of which, Ji Qingzhou also has half of the credit for him entering the palace to assist Li Zhan now.

"Your Majesty is young and pure-hearted, it is very easy to please him." Ji Qingzhou said.

"Although your Majesty has a pure heart, he is not so easy to fool." Qin Zheng said: "Otherwise that little Tang is so flattering to His Majesty, why is His Majesty still close to you?"

Ji Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said, "Probably because I'm good-looking."

Qin Zheng always felt that he was quite narcissistic, but he didn't expect that Young Master Ji was no more humble than him.

While the two were talking, a horseman in the stable looked at Ji Qingzhou's back, and then saw him put down the fodder bucket in his hand, and walked towards Ji Qingzhou quickly.

Ji Qingzhou turned his back to the man and didn't notice it, but Qin Zheng had noticed the man's movement early on. When the man raised his hand and patted Ji Qingzhou's shoulder, Qin Zheng subconsciously reached out and grabbed the man's wrist.

The man looked at Qin Zheng and couldn't help but startled, the smile in his eyes hadn't had time to suppress, his expression was a little embarrassed.

When Qin Zheng came to look for Ji Qingzhou today, he was still wearing that gray robe, so that person probably regarded him as a little eunuch in gray robe, but he didn't expect him to be able to kung fu!

"?" Ji Qingzhou turned his head to look blankly, and saw that the smile in the man's eyes suddenly faded, and he seemed a little disappointed.But the man quickly restrained his emotions, and then smiled a little embarrassedly.In just this moment, Ji Qingzhou caught the man's gaze resting on his neck for a moment.

Ji Qingzhou has been carrying the jade with him today. When Tang Yi and the others appeared earlier, he stuffed the jade into his collar, but the red thread tied with the jade was exposed.

"Are you looking at this?" Ji Qingzhou stared at the man, reached out and pulled out the piece of jade from the collar.

The man couldn't help being stunned for a moment, looking at Yu Jue and then at Ji Qingzhou, with a very confused expression on his face.

He scratched his head, pointed at Yu Jue, and made a questioning gesture with his hand.

Only then did Ji Qingzhou realize that this man couldn't speak, he was actually a mute.

"I picked this thing up." Ji Qingzhou reached out to untie the jade and threw it to the other party. He deliberately made his movements very casual, but stared at the other party.I saw that the other party hastily reached out to catch Yu Jue, and that movement was very cautious, as if what he was catching was a priceless piece of precious jade.

The man took the jade, wiped it with the pocket of his clothes, then found a branch and wrote on the ground: "Sell it to me, is that okay?"

"Why?" Ji Qingzhou stared at the man and asked.

The man's face turned red, and he subconsciously pressed his neck through his clothes with one hand. Only then did Ji Qingzhou notice that there was also a red line on the man's neck.

"I bought it for a friend, he lost it, and you found it," the person wrote again.

Ji Qingzhou smiled when he heard the words, and said: "Since I picked it up, I can't just give it back to you just because of you, and I don't know if you are lying!"

The man waved his hand hurriedly and wrote, "I'll give you money, any amount is fine."

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, a little surprised.

The man wrote again: "It's just that I don't have much money on me, and I can take more if I don't have enough money."

After he finished writing, he handed his money bag to Ji Qingzhou, and Ji Qingzhou casually weighed it, and the silver could probably buy two more pieces of jade like this.

"Did you mistook me for someone else just now?" Ji Qingzhou asked.

The man nodded and wrote, "He's as thin as you."

After the man finished writing this sentence, a smile flashed in his eyes, and that smile made Ji Qingzhou a little dazed... When Xiao Shan told him that he would bury Yu Jue in the garden in the long alley, there was such a smile in his eyes The smile is gentle and satisfying.

Ji Qingzhou didn't pay attention to it before, but now he thinks that Xiaoshan's stature is not the same as his, but they are similar, and they are both a little thin.Especially today he was also wearing a gray robe, and the red thread was tied around his neck, presumably this horse farm doesn't often have servants coming over, so this man made a mistake in a hurry.

"Where did he go?" Ji Qingzhou asked, "Your friend, the one who lost this jade."

A trace of doubt flashed across the man's face when he heard the words, and finally wrote: "I don't know."

Ji Qingzhou wanted to ask again, but at this moment a horseman ran over from the side, and said to the man angrily: "He Man, why did you come here? It's rare for His Majesty to come to the racecourse today. Don't let him feel unlucky when he sees you."

He Man hurriedly stood up and nodded towards the stableboy, his attitude was very submissive but without flattery or fear.Ji Qingzhou took the opportunity to calm down, and carefully looked at the young man named He Man, and found that although he was wearing a shabby bodyguard robe, he was tall and straight, and his facial features were very pleasing to the eye, with a bit of heroism.

In particular, he can't speak, and it can be seen that his status here is low, but he treats people with a very decent feeling.Rao Ji Qingzhou had already preset him as a heartless man who would die badly before, but now he really can't hate this person.

And Ji Qingzhou can feel that when this person mentions Xiaoshan, the whole person will become nervous.But that kind of tension is definitely not due to some negative emotions, but because of too much concern, so even if you just think of the other party, your eyes will become different.

He Man was driven away by the horseman, so he could only leave. Finally, he pointed to the money bag in Ji Qingzhou's hand, and then pointed to the jade in his hand, which meant that he bought this piece of jade.Seeing that Ji Qingzhou didn't refuse, he immediately became very happy, and he saluted Ji Qingzhou before leaving.

"He... doesn't know what happened to Xiaoshan?" Ji Qingzhou looked at He Man's back and murmured.

"I saw that when he was listening to you, his eyes kept looking at your mouth. I guess he couldn't hear the voice and could only read your lips." Qin Zheng said, "Looking at the attitude of the horseman towards him just now, it must be He doesn't have any friends here either..."

He Man waits here every day with great anticipation to have a private meeting with his lover, but he has no idea that the other party is already in jail and will be executed with a stick soon.

At that moment, Ji Qingzhou couldn't help thinking, if they hadn't walked into this racecourse by accident today, would He Man just wait so stupidly?

He couldn't express the feelings between himself and Xiao Shan, because it was a taboo, and speaking out would bring a lot of trouble to Xiao Shan.And he has no friends, even if other people would discuss in private the little servant in the palace who was recently executed with a rod, they would not mention it to him.

So He Man could only wait silently, going to the long alley where the two met from time to time, watching every figure coming and going, and distinguishing whether there was anyone he wanted to see here.

He may guess, is Xiao Shan out of the palace, or does he not like him?

But he will probably never know the truth, that he and Xiao Shan once had a child briefly, and that child also took Xiao Shan's life...

"Do you want to take him to the Punishment Division?" Qin Zheng asked.

"I... I want to sit for a while." Ji Qingzhou answered the question, then he walked across the small half of the racecourse, found a stone facing the wall and sat down.

Qin Zheng didn't bother him, and went to walk the horse with the little emperor.

Ji Qingzhou sat there for a while, until he heard footsteps behind him, he sniffed and came back to his senses.

"Although I didn't ask him, I know he is willing to die instead of Xiaoshan." Ji Qingzhou said: "You won this bet, and you are right... I really don't understand love/love."

"This is completely different from what I thought." Ji Qingzhou said.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone behind him handed him a square handkerchief.

"I didn't cry, so I won't!" Ji Qingzhou didn't look back, but still took the square handkerchief and held it in his hand, and said, "I thought he was a coward who was greedy for life and afraid of death. I think such a person is not worth it." Xiao Shan died for him. Xiao Shan is such a good person..."

The person behind didn't make a sound, just set his eyes on the young man's back and listened quietly.

The young man was facing the wall, his shoulders were slightly shrunk, and his thin body showed a sense of undisguised fragility from behind, which made people subconsciously want to hug him.

"I never believed in such things as being unchanging until death. I think life is more important than anything else, but now I can't help but think, if I take him away... Xiaoshan will definitely hate me." Ji Qingzhou added road.

When Ji Qingzhou said this, his tone was full of loneliness and bewilderment.This was completely different from his usual appearance, like a drunk person, his reason was temporarily absent, so suddenly a small gap was opened in the heart that was tightly wrapped.Those who are interested can see the softest part of the boy's heart through this small gap.

"Am I too self-righteous? I thought I was doing justice for the sky, but it turned out that I was used to being ungrateful and ungrateful, so I felt that others were also greedy for life and afraid of death." Ji Qingzhou took a deep breath after speaking, Then he said: "Young master Qin, didn't you tell me that you understand this kind of thing very well? Then you tell me that there are so many people in this world, who are like me... who are greedy for life and afraid of death, and only care about themselves? Are there many people like them, or are there many people like them who don't care about their lives for another person? I'm thinking that I probably won't have such a chance to die for another person at the end of my life..."

"Who do you want to die for?" The man behind said calmly.

Ji Qingzhou was startled when he heard the words, and turned his head suddenly, only to find that it was not Qin Zheng standing behind him, but Li Zhan.

Ji Qingzhou: ...

I just want to die right now, by hitting my head to death!
