It's Shadow Guard and Bai Yueguang [Rebirth]

It's been almost a week since his last ridiculous gaffe in the main hall.

This week, Fu Yan obeyed the palace rules and worked obediently. Except for sneaking into the imperial study once, taking a few volumes of unwritten silk, and sprinkling some ink on it to prepare for business affairs, he was honest and outrageous the rest of the time. .

Of course, this week...Chu Chaoyi didn't pass on him again.

There were a few times when they met on errands, the two of them were still strangers, even though they had no intention of looking at each other, Chu Chaoyi still looked at him with disgust as before.

From that sudden incident, Fu Nian probably understands that his death in the previous life should still have a blow to Chu Chaoyi, not just the simple sorrow of the death of the watchdog, but also an obedient bed/ .Accompanied by the grief of leaving.Otherwise, it really doesn't make any sense. There is a dummy in the dormitory, and he is ordered not to make a sound or to show his face, so he can only use a "pleasing" back to...

In short, Fu Nian figured it out, as long as this back view is still there, Chu Chaoyi will indulge his usual conduct to a great extent.This is a good thing, and it can be used well in exchange for the information you want.If necessary, Fu Yan would even imitate himself in the previous life in exchange for more benefits.

At nightfall, Fu Ergang took off his day clothes and prepared to lie down.

Suddenly there was a sound by the window.

Fu Nian opened the window and found that it was a black bird, constantly pecking at the window sill.He immediately realized that it might be Fu Zhen who was looking for him, and he didn't care about sleeping, so he hurriedly dug out the fragments of imperial edicts he had found these days, put them away in his clothes, and left the room.

In the blink of an eye, it was autumn, and the night was already a bit chilly, and the sound of the autumn wind blowing through the leaves could just cover most of the footsteps.

Following the paw prints of the black bird, Fu Erian walked out of the Chengyuan Hall all the way.

The paw prints finally stopped in front of a rockery, and Fu Nian hurried up, and at the pavilion on the top of the mountain, he saw a familiar figure.As before, Fu Zhen preferred moon-white robes, his hair was tied down very low, and at first glance he looked gentle and bright.

It's just that there is a little more alcohol around Fu Zhen this time. Although it's not unpleasant, it can still be smelled clearly a few steps away.

"This subordinate has met your lord." After the usual courtesy, Fu Nian hurriedly took out the achievements of these days from his bosom, and handed them over, "This subordinate is incompetent, only found some incomplete seals, and there are not many personal handwritings of His Majesty , and there is no complete volume.”

Presenting the results of so many days with both hands, Fu Nian kept his head down and waited for the other party to take it.

After waiting for a long time, he saw Fu Zhen turn around.

Seeing that Fu Zhen didn't take what he was holding, he sighed, "It's more than incompetent, it's just useless."

Fu Nian did not refute, and still maintained the posture of presenting.

Even if Chu Chaoyi is not a good thing, he will not steal the items of Chu Chaoyi, a generally bad thing, for another even worse thing.

"Isn't it great to steal from my house last time? You can't stop your actions even if you have a broken arm. Why don't you dare to change to Chengyuan Palace? Take it easy?"

"This subordinate will follow your lord's instructions. It's just that...it's really incompetent." Fu Nian tried his best to pretend to be helpless, "Last time, this subordinate was just curious. I haven't seen such a bold book before... so I took something from my lord without authorization. , not intending to steal." Speaking of this, Fu Nian couldn't help but recall the disaster caused by the forbidden book, and couldn't help frowning.

After finishing speaking, he heard Fu Zhen sneered, "Since it's not stealing, then I don't care about it. Return it after reading it." After Fu Zhen finished speaking, he spread his hands towards him, motioning for him to return the things.

"That book... is gone." After finishing speaking, Fu Tian gritted his teeth, "During the search and prosecution, it was discovered that the book had been burned, and it almost made it into the Criminal Division."

"That's it." Fu Zhen said to himself thoughtfully.

After a long silence, Fu Zhen sighed again, "Forget it, originally I wanted to test your ability this time. I didn't expect that not only your ability is not good, but also your heart is not sincere."

"The subordinates are absolutely loyal—"

"Come on, you can't fool me." Fu Zhen interrupted coldly, "It can be seen that you don't want to steal at all, you don't take the mission I entrusted to you to heart, and you don't want to be loyal to me at all. You didn't even listen to what you promised before, not to get too close to that old fox, did you?"

Fu Twenty: ...

"With the temperament of that old fox, if you received such intimacy from a servant, it would be considered light to be expelled from the palace. However, you have not received any punishment, and you are so heavily used... and you really did not take refuge in me. A person with no rights and no rights It is necessary for powerful people." Fu Zhen rarely had a smile on his face, and after he finished speaking, he sighed again, looked down at the uneven porcelain plate on the ground, "It's also my fault that I have to write in every volume of banned books. The problem with the hidden notes is mainly because I used to be curious about these banned books..."

Fu Nian still didn't speak, and silently took back the fragments of the imperial decree.

Is it in every book?In this way, it was his own recklessness and stealing.

During the silence, he suddenly saw Fu Zhen in front of him wiping the corners of his eyes with his sleeves, breathing intermittently, no matter how much he held back, he couldn't cover up the sound of sobbing.

Brother...why are you crying?

Fu Nian was taken aback, he had the impression that his senior brother was always strong and never shed tears for anything.Why did you suddenly cry.

"I'm sorry. About the money... Actually, I didn't intend to take your money at first, I just thought you were like the junior I used to be, the one who went to be the old fox's lackey... I said I hated him before, it was all fake When Fu Zhen said this, there was already a bit of sobbing in his tone, and he took a few breaths before continuing, "He, the short knife, prosthetic limbs, and books he used since childhood, I... I keep them all, I never I never thought that he would be someone else's lackey, never thought that we would really part ways, and gave him a sword in a fit of anger... Not to mention, he would expose his corpse in the wilderness without even a tomb. The last time we fought, it was actually Farewell..."

Before finishing the second half of the sentence, Fu Zhen squatted down slowly. At first, he was just sobbing hard, and he was covering up his crying. Slowly, he stopped covering it up. He cried bitterly while muttering "I'm sorry", " After he died, I learned that he tried to find me when he was alive, but I was outside the border at that time, and I didn't have time to apologize to him until he died, telling him that the brother was wrong, and that sword did not ask for forgiveness , even if stabbed back..."

Fu Nian clenched his fists.

In his previous life, he had never seen his senior lose his temper like this, and he never thought that his senior would regret giving him a sword, even keep his childhood things, and after his death...weep like a child because of him.

For a moment, Fu Nianting wanted to admit that he was the one who came back... and told his brother that the sword was his punishment for betraying his master, and he deserved it.

After a while, Fu Zhen continued to sob and cry, "Before I urged you to pay back the money, but I just wanted to find a chance to see you more... It's like seeing my little brother, so that I can use self-deception to make up for the pain in my heart." Guilty. I'm sorry for making you do something difficult. If you hadn't met me, your official career would have been smoother than it is now, and you should be a loyal minister with a long history. I'm sorry, I'm really sorry..."

But reason still stopped Fu Nian from doing so.

At least he must first find the benefactor who planted Gu for him, and investigate the regrets of his previous life in the palace before he can confess his identity to his senior brother.As long as he lives in the palace for a day, he must live as "Lian Nian".

Otherwise, all the things I have done before will be in vain.

"My lord...don't cry." At the end, Fu Niancai spoke bitterly, and comforted him dully.

Fu Zhen turned a deaf ear, and even cried louder and louder. He curled up on the ground like a helpless little animal.The originally gentle eyebrows, stained with tears, can even make people feel a little affectionate.

Fu Nian turned his head and didn't look any further.But the scenes I experienced with my senior brother when I was a child kept popping up in my mind.

It turned out that after parting ways, the senior also regretted it.

Seeing Fu Zhen huddled on the ground crying in front of him, Fu Niansan finally knelt down after thinking about it, found a clean gauze from his sleeve, and handed it over.

"Don't cry." In the end, Fu Yan could only comfort him weakly.

I saw Fu Zhen thanking vaguely while taking the gauze.

"This subordinate will leave first." After Fu Nian finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Looking at the senior brother's appearance... If he stays any longer, it will be difficult for Fu Yan to make sure that he will not do anything irrational, such as recognizing each other on the spot.

Back in the room, Fu Nian changed out of his alcohol-stained clothes and sat on the bed without any sleepiness.

If Fu Zhen scolded him a few more trash words, he would admit it.

He was crying, apologizing to him, and talking about the dead "Fu Nian" at the same time...

Seeing the bright moon in the sky, and it was already halfway through the night, Fu Nian was so upset that he couldn't sleep.Thinking of how my senior brother cried until he couldn't breathe, the nameless irritability and self-blame would occupy his sleepiness.

The next morning, he had some errands to do, but in the end, despite the irritability and drowsiness of a sleepless night, Fu Nian got up and went to the courtyard to wash his face with a basin of cold water.

During the early morning errand, Fu Nian forced himself to endure sleepiness, but couldn't help but recall what happened last night in his mind.

Finally, when the shift was changed, he dared to yawn.

When walking back to the living courtyard, he happened to meet Chu Chaoyi who had just come down to court.

He was still wearing court clothes, and he was talking to King Ze with a stern face. The father-in-law guards behind him consciously stayed five steps away, and it was not difficult to see that there was an important matter to discuss.

Fu Nian stopped and leaned his ear against the wall.

He has been deliberately trained in hearing since he was a child. Naturally, he is much better than others. As long as there are objects around that can transmit sound, it is not difficult to eavesdrop on conversations at normal volume.

"..."

"..."

It's just that Chu Chaoyi is suspicious and his voice is very low.King Ze didn't answer in a loud voice.After listening for a long while, Fu Shi only heard that "Yaoyue Gate" was mentioned, which was his teacher's gate.

Fu Nian could only be anxious.

Suddenly, Chu Chaoyi's voice suddenly increased a lot, and he growled in a bad tone, "Suddenly fell ill? It would be better if the surname Fu died. The haunted place of Yaoyue Gate should have been dispersed long ago." .Writing the letter is hoping to get medicinal materials from the palace? Or is it hoping that I will send him an elegiac couplet?"
