I see the snow

At the same time, in the Shengyang Palace - Jinghua Palace.

Unlike the vast majority of ministers who spent a few days enjoying themselves after the Wangting Banquet and returned to the mansion after having had enough fun, the new Emperor Shen Yan rushed back to the palace as soon as the banquet was over on the second day.

In the rock garden, there are two tall and straight pine trees planted in front of the palace gate.

Going further inside, there is a bamboo forest, the atmosphere is quiet and peaceful.The palace people who come and go are light in their hands and feet, and they are uniformly dressed in plain white clothes.

Different from the overall vermilion and solemn style of Jinghua Palace, this place is remote and peaceful, and it is decorated with whitewashed walls and black tiles.In front of a paper door, there is even a bamboo clock for timing.

If it weren't for the "tick-tick" drops of water falling from the leaky engraving to record the change of time, here, time seems to be static.

"Did he wake up today?"

With hands behind his back, Shen Yan stood in front of the paper door and asked, "Have you taken the medicine?"

In front of him was a child in plain clothes.The little boy wore a narrow mahogany hair crown on top of his hair, and cinnabar was dotted between his brows. He lowered his eyebrows and replied pleasingly:

"Young Pavilion Master woke up once at Chenshi, Senior Brother Yan gave Master medicine and drank it, then played with Jiujiu for a while, and has been sleeping until now."

Shen Yan frowned slightly, and said:

"Understood. Go down."

The little boy nodded: "Yes."

——This is the palace of Chu Yuan, the young master of Guanxing Pavilion who made Shen Yan angry at the Wangting Banquet just now, and even severely punished Mo Bihuan and his son.

He was supposed to go to the Wangting banquet with Shen Yan, but due to a long illness, he was still lingering on the sick bed and could not attend.

...It's also fortunate that he didn't go, otherwise those old courtiers who followed the rules would probably be pissed off again.

——In what capacity did he attend the banquet?

From the perspective of the court, Guanxing Pavilion only belongs to the king alone, and he must not participate in political affairs privately without the order of the king.Naturally, there is no reason to participate in the Wangting Banquet of the courtiers.

From the point of view of etiquette, Chu Yuan was already a divine attendant who had been abolished by the late emperor, so he should never step into the capital of stars and fields for life.

Now he not only stepped in, lived in the Jinghua Palace, but also participated in the Wangting Banquet with the new emperor——

What's the point of that...! ?

Wouldn't it be an announcement to the world of the new emperor's plan to re-establish him as a star-gazer?

Li Falun Changquan became a joke! ?

The ministers have been strongly opposed to this matter, but they have been deadlocked with Shen Yan.

He has a strange obsession with inheriting his father's star-gazing god servant, and he refuses to back down no matter what.

At this moment, the new emperor who rushed back overnight was full of travel and dust, but he refused to go back to rest.

He stood outside Chu Yuan's room door, hoping to see him when he woke up to take his medicine later.

"Your Majesty, why don't you go in and wait?"

Even the little boy holding the lamp couldn't help saying: "It's windy at night, don't catch cold."

However, Shen Yan shook her head: "No need."

"As soon as I opened the door, the wind poured in. Xianyu is still sick, so it's not good for him to recuperate."

Xiao Tong opened his mouth, wanting to persuade him to go to a study and wait.It's better than standing here at the door and blowing the air.

But thinking about it, Shen Yan would not be willing to miss the first moment after Chu Yuan woke up, so he swallowed the words again.

It is glorious April, and the night wind is still a bit cold after sunset.

Xindi's hands were blown cool by the wind, like cold iron.

"Yan Jin."

After a while, a hoarse voice came from the room, it was very soft, but it touched Shen Yan's heart.

"Xianyu."

"I'm here," he said.

At the corner of the corridor, a boy wearing a silver mask was carrying a tray and was about to walk over as usual.He carefully held the warm medicine in his hand, but when he saw Shen Yan, he paused for a moment.

"……His Majesty."

He greeted in a low voice, but there was no sign of admiration in his voice.Just a courtesy greeting.

"Leave it to me."

Shen Yan nodded, intending to take the tray from the silver-masked boy's hand: "I'm here to feed Xianyu medicine."

The boy with the silver mask dodged a little, avoided it, and looked in the direction of the room inquiringly:

"What does Master mean?"

The man in white in the room was silent, and then said: "It's getting late...Your Majesty, go back to the palace earlier."

"Your Majesty is the Ninth Five-Year Lord for such a small matter as presenting medicine, so you should not do it yourself."

"... Xianyu!"

Shen Yan made a low noise.

The two of them were silent, separated by a paper door, after a while, Shen Yan asked:

"How long are you going to hide from me?"

Chu Yuan didn't say anything, Shen Yan slowed down and said in a hoarse voice:

"Even... even if you don't want to be my star-gazer, we are still confidants."

"Chu Yuan is an abandoned body."

Chu Yuan said: "I'm not qualified to be your majesty's stargazing god attendant...nor do I have the qualifications to be your majesty's confidant."

"I do not care!"

Shen Yan shouted angrily.

However, at this point, there is no way to talk anymore.

Chu Yuan sighed lightly to Xi Tuan, like a cloud suddenly being blown by the wind, he sighed:

"Jin'er, you go down first."

When the boy in the silver mask was not speaking, he looked like a cold and dangerous little wolf cub.But when Chu Yuan called his name, the sharp hostility on his body quickly eased, and he quietly hid it.

"Ah."

He said: "Master, remember to drink the medicine."

The night sky above Qiuxia Terrace was slightly covered by clouds, and the moonlight could not shine down, making it look a bit dark.

Shen Yan stood in the night wind, her jet-black hair was slightly disheveled.

Neither of them spoke, and they were silent across the door.

If it was decades ago, when Chu Jun Shen Yan and Guan Xing Pavilion Shaoge Master were still close friends, none of them would have thought that they would come to this day.

At that time, Shen Yan was still walking on thin ice in the East Palace and was not favored by the crown prince; Chu Yuan was still full of spiritual power and was known as the most prestigious young master of Guanxing Pavilion who could "conquer the fate of the country and determine life and death".

Meeting you for the first time is like returning from an old friend.

They thought they would be best friends with each other for life, until that happened——

"Whether you say that person's name or not, I don't mind."

Shen Yan said: "Chu Yuan...the only thing I care about is you."

However, Chu Yuan didn't say anything.

All I care about is you.

Most of them both knew how pale this sentence was, and Chu Xianyu didn't even know how to answer him.

"You don't care, but I do."

After a long time, Chu Yuan said: "There are still tens of thousands of courtiers who care about it. I am not worthy to step into the Starfield Capital again. I have already..."

He has been touched.

As the emperor's stargazer, he needs to have a physical relationship with the emperor so that he can more accurately survey the destiny.

However, since Chu Yuan was 12 years old, he was designated as the late emperor's star-gazer, and he had a cinnabar cross between his eyebrows to prove his "loyalty".

It's just that I didn't expect that when Chu Yuan was 19 years old, the cinnabar mark between his eyebrows would disappear——

He was touched by an unknown person, and still refuses to speak his name.

Because of this, the first emperor abolished Chu Yuan's status as the "God Servant of Stargazing", and now when Shen Yan wanted to appoint him to watch the stars for him again, this was also the greatest pressure from the court.

——The star-gazing servants who have had sex with others no longer have sufficient spiritual power. They are like banished immortals who have been touched by mortals, and they are no longer qualified to be emperors star-gazing.

Shen Yan didn't know who that person was, and he didn't want to force Chu Yuan to tell him that he just sincerely took Chu Yuan to heart, respected him...and admired him.

Qiu Xia was quiet again.

Shen Yan did not wait for Chu Yuan's response for a long time.Holding the medicine in his hand, he stood upright in the cold wind.

After a long time, Shen Yan let out a low sigh, pushed the door open a tiny gap, and walked in sideways.

——Watching the stars and predicting fate is extremely exhausting. Chu Yuan is extremely intelligent, and can see even the luck of a country.

In Shen Yan's impression, he always felt that he was sick, and after being broken, his spiritual energy leaked, and he became even more sick.

Now that I can't speak for a while, I often fall asleep.

Shen Yan looked at the person in front of him quietly.

He still maintained the posture of leaning on the soft collapse before he fell into a deep sleep.His face was slightly sickly and pale, but he looked calm and peaceful.

It seems to be in the royal palace in the center of power, and it seems to be hidden in the mountains.

There is a kind of quietness and clearness that is indifferent to the world.

His hair was long and black, hanging down to the top.

Shen Yan walked over and slowly picked up the black hair.

"Going to sleep..." He sighed, "I have to drink the medicine before going to sleep..."

Putting the tray aside, Shen Yan took the porcelain bowl and hugged Chu Yuan's shoulders with his own hands.Slowly lift him up and carefully feed the concoction in.

Probably because the concoction was too bitter, Chu Yuan put his fingers on the ground and slightly pressed Xindi's sleeve.

When he tasted the medicinal juice, he frowned slightly, and his fingers also tightly grasped the black dragon robe.

"I have sent people to resettle the refugees outside the city."

Shen Yan said: "The last time I heard from the witches, it was their crying and resentment that affected your spiritual power. If you live in a peaceful atmosphere, it will greatly help your illness."

Chu Yuan closed his eyes ignorantly, his eyelashes were long and dark, and the shadows fell on his porcelain-white cheeks, like a small fan.

When he was speaking just now, Shen Yan had never seen him.

But just by hearing his voice, Shen Yan could also imagine what he looked like inside the door.

She was probably sitting with her quilt again, her eyelashes drooping slightly.

Weak and indifferent.

He slowly leaned over, and for a moment, the new emperor had the urge to kiss Chu Yuan while he was asleep——

But then, he held back again, straightened up, laughed at himself, and put Chu Yuan back into the soft bed.Tuck in the corners.

"His Majesty."

Shen Yan fed all the medicinal soup to Chu Yuan, and then closed the door. When going out, the guards immediately said: "... Outside, I have something to report."

"what happened?"

Shen Yan frowned, vaguely displeased: "What's the matter." "It's Master Zhu."

The palace man said: "You sent him to dismiss the refugees outside the city after the banquet. Just now Master Zhu came over and sat in front of the palace gate and wailed... If he said yes, he was beaten."

"..."

Shen Yan paused, then walked out of the hall: "What's going on."

……

This matter has to start from an hour ago.

An hour ago, Zhu Shifeng went to disperse the refugees outside the city.

After Canglan City was broken, many people in the city died on the night that the city was broken.

But there are also very few people who escaped by luck.They went all the way south and fled to the capital of stars and fields, seeking an explanation for the unjust death of their relatives.

The imperial court and Xini pretended to be deaf and dumb, not only ignoring Yinzhichuan's performance, but also not allowing these refugees to enter the city.

He was determined not to investigate the matter.

But even so, the group of refugees refused to leave, so they stayed under the city wall every day, beating drums during the day to cry for grievances, and lying down with their clothes folded at night.

Many people gave up and returned to their hometowns, or found another town to start a new life.

But more Canglan people are still haunted by the night they watched their blood relatives slaughtered and died in agony, unable to come out for a long time.

They are willing to use the rest of their lives to seek an explanation for their loved ones.

If things go on like this for a long time, the resentment outside the city is very strong. Earlier, a witch reported that Chu Yuan's illness had been bad for a long time, and that his spiritual power was affected by this resentment.

Therefore, Shen Yan made up his mind to order Zhu Shifeng to settle these refugees properly.

But by coincidence, unexpectedly, when Zhu Shifeng went outside the city, Yin Zhichuan came back from the palace.

"Everyone get out of the way—"

Zhu Shifeng led a group of family members, rode to the top of the city, and patrolled arrogantly: "From today onwards, refugees are not allowed to gather inside or outside the city!"

The refugees were dressed in rags, squatting or standing curled up under the corner of the wall, staring blankly at the group of people carrying knives, their eyes slightly glazed over.

"What's the smell?"

Zhu Shifeng pinched his nose: "It's so sour. Seeing that summer is coming, at the foot of the emperor, outside the capital, what does it look like like this?"

The refugees have no fixed residence and no place to bathe. The place where they have assembled has a bad natural smell.

"Where did this porridge shed come from?"

Zhu Shifeng looked around, looked at the tents standing at the top of the city, and said, "I smashed it."

"Hey—hey, I can't help it, my lord!"

Seeing that he was going to make a move, the well-informed vendors hurried up: "This is the porridge shed set up by Mr. Lin in the Taifu's House, and the porridge is served every half a month. It can't be smashed."

"Why can't it be smashed?"

Zhu Shifeng said: "I am doing something for His Majesty, who dares to stop?"

"Now it is said that the master of the young pavilion has been ill for a long time. It is due to the lack of spirit and qi, and the holy body has been polluted by evil."

He walked back and forth beside the porridge shed, with an expression full of arrogance:

"It's really unlucky for these refugees to cry outside the city all day. This trip is all for His Majesty and the Young Pavilion Master. Master Lin is giving them winter clothes and giving them porridge. How can they leave? Later, something happened to the Young Pavilion Master... who can afford to delay...!"

After Yin Zhichuan was drugged by Xi Huai at the Wangting Banquet, he was sleepless in the middle of the night.

Today, after finally staying up until dawn, after breakfast, I immediately took a carriage down the mountain and returned home.

The whole journey was fairly smooth, although it was somewhat awkward to meet Xihuai hatchback in the sedan chair, but there was no major trouble after all.

But when they reached the top of the city, the carriage stopped suddenly, and the driver turned around and said:

"I'm sorry, Major General, Young Master, there are people making trouble ahead... Please wait a moment."

Yin Zhichuan didn't expect that there would be troublesome people in this prosperous royal capital, so he immediately opened the curtain, ready to see who this strange-minded person is.

——As soon as the curtain was lifted, the old acquaintance Zhu Shifeng was cursing:

"Even if there are refugees who freeze to death and starve to death, so what? What does that have to do with His Majesty?"

"——It's all the fault of the banker of the Zhen Guogong's mansion. That kid in Yinzhichuan didn't even have a rotten heart. He was hit to death by a carriage in the street. What kind of retribution should I be afraid of, sir?! This porridge shed, I have to smash it No!"

At this time, Zhu Shifeng's heart was full of resentment at being beaten up by Yinzhichuan in Fuyunlou last time.

Hate him for making himself a fool of himself in public, and hate him for twisting his arm.As a result, he even missed the annual Wangting Banquet.

He didn't know that Yinzhichuan was at the gate of the city less than 50 meters away from him, and he didn't know that Yinzhichuan heard everything he said.

When scolding people, it is especially yin and yang.Da You had his hips akimbo in the air of wanting to curse endlessly.

When the onlookers heard what he said, they were stunned.

Just because Yin Zhichuan was famous, whoever insulted his deceased father and brother, he would definitely make them look good.

Zhu Shifeng actually said the words in the street like this, they were stunned for a moment, wishing to change their ears that had never heard the words, and turn around to be implicated by him.

"Why, don't you dare to say it?"

Zhu Shifeng saw that the people beside him were all cowards, looking extremely cowardly, and said angrily:

"Do you still have any backbone? Today's matter, I am sharing the worries for His Majesty!"

"Walking here, I saw so many refugees leaving their homes and having nowhere to go... Although I, Zhu, am not talented, I know that my heart aches and regrets...!"

Zhu Shifeng said: "That brat from the Yin family relies on himself to be domineering and unrestrained. He won't let anyone mention the bad things his father and brother have done! How can there be any sense of justice!?"

The people around looked at him dumbfounded, Zhu Shifeng continued: "If it were me, my son will definitely scold him in public the next time he sees him!"

"His son-of-a-bitch, short-lived ghost brother, it's fine to die in Canglan, how many lives have he killed?! He should kneel down and kowtow on the top of the city every day to repent!... There is no king's law, no words Reasonable stuff!"

If there is something wrong with Zhu Shifeng, he only has one problem——

All his life, he was either dying or on the way to death.

Yinzhi Chuanyuan didn't want to cause trouble when he first entered the capital of stars, but Zhu Shifeng is really a treasure, always rushing to make fun of him.

He didn't sleep well last night, he was suffocated, he immediately smiled, and put the pendant in Xi Huai's palm.

Get out of the car and go.

He walked slowly to the porridge shed, stepped on the big stone in the town, and asked Zhu Shifeng who was about to "beg to be beaten" kindly:

"I heard that someone is reading my name. I came here quickly. I wonder if Mr. Zhu has something important to tell you?"
