return to peace

Ji Fan was so drunk that he couldn't even walk steadily.But he tasted good wine, he didn't cry or make noise when he was drunk, he was quiet and at the mercy of others.

Because he was worried, Chu Lingshang personally sent him back to the Royal Inn, poured him a bowl of hangover soup, and helped him wash up a little bit. Although Lin Feng helped him, when he was put on the bed, he would Already very tired.

After Ji Fan lay down, his eyes opened, maybe he drank too much wine, as if his eyes were covered with mist, he looked at Chen Lingshang without blinking.

Chu Lingshang stretched out his hand to close his eyes, let go, he opened them again, closed them again, opened them again, and repeated several times, Chen Lingshang also felt a little childish and funny.

"What's wrong with you? Are you awake?"

Ji Fan didn't answer, grabbed his hand and covered his heart, and closed his eyes again.

Chen Lingshang let him hold it without making a sound.

After a while, Ji Fan's breathing became steady. Chu Lingshang thought that he might have fallen asleep, so he wanted to pull out his hand, but with a little effort, Ji Fan grabbed it back.

He closed his eyes and said in a low voice, "Don't go." His voice was a little hoarse after drinking, and there was a bit of grievance.

Chu Lingshang suddenly remembered the time when he left Ji Fan to visit lanterns alone when he was a child. At that time, he promised never to leave him again, but later he broke his promise.

He clearly knew that Ji Fan was just drunk, but he still felt a little guilty.

"I'm not going, I'm not going anywhere." He said softly.

Hearing this, Ji Fan opened his eyes, and the eye sockets were a little red: "You are lying."

"I didn't lie to you." Chu Lingshang touched his forehead and comforted him softly.Maybe even he himself didn't realize that this was the gesture he used to comfort Ji Fan when he was a child.

As expected, Ji Fan stopped talking and obediently closed his eyes. After a while, the sound of breathing became long.Chu Lingshang gently pulled out his hand, but did not leave. He just sat there and looked at Ji Fan for a long time.

"Master?" Lin Feng urged softly outside the door.

Chen Lingshang sighed silently, and helped Ji Fan cover the quilt. When he reached the door, he couldn't help but look back, and finally left.

The moment the door closed, Ji Fan opened his eyes with clear eyes.

On the second day, Chu Lingshang entered the palace to be conferred, and finally decided that the official residence would not change, and he would still live in the National Teacher's Mansion, only changing the official uniform.Ten thousand taels of gold were also requested to be distributed to poor people as disaster relief silver taels.

After returning, Lin Feng reported that Ji Fan had been invited by the king.Chen Lingshang nodded, and went into the study, and didn't come out until dinner.

Chu Zexi came over to eat, and mentioned that Ji Fan was left in the palace for dinner.Chu Lingshang felt a little uneasy.

It was like this for three consecutive days. Ji Fan was called to the palace in the morning and came back after dinner in the evening. It is said that he had a very happy conversation with the King of Xiliang, and the King of Xiliang liked it very much.Chu Lingshang faintly felt that something was wrong, and that General Chen had a close relationship with the Lord of Xiliang, which was a big taboo.The King of Xiliang would not be ignorant, unless he did it on purpose.After thinking for a moment, he decided to ask.

The King of Xiliang seemed to have expected him to come, and before he could speak, he said, "Do you want to ask about Ji Fan?"

Chu Lingshang shook his head and knelt down suddenly.When he was alone with the King of Xiliang, he actually didn't need to perform these vain rituals, so his kneeling was very important.

"Ling Shang knows what the king's intention is, but I beg the king to let Ji Fan go!"

The king of Xiliang looked at him, his adopted son who was the most in his heart, for a long time, and then said in a deep voice: "Lingshang, you are the national teacher of Xiliang now, you don't know the status of the Wen family in Chen country." Only by making King Chen suspicious of the Wen family can the Wen family be brought down, and Da Chen will be destroyed faster.He didn't say anything later, he believed that Chu Lingshang understood everything.

"No one expected this time that King Chen would send Ji Fan here. This is an excellent opportunity. I like Ji Fan, but great cause is the most important thing!"

Chu Lingshang said shyly, "Lingshang knows. Lingshang is incompetent, and he still can't be ruthless and righteous."

The King of Xiliang knew that Chu Lingshang had always been strong. Seeing him like this, he couldn't help softening his heart: "Then what are you going to do?" If you insist on getting rid of the Wen family, then I will confess my identity to them and persuade Wen Xiang and Ji Fan to withdraw from the Chen Guo court."

The King of Xiliang looked quietly at Chu Lingshang who was kneeling below, and said after a long time, "If that's the case, then you can do it."

Chen Lingshang answered yes, got up and backed out.When he reached the gate of the palace, he stopped, but without turning his head, he asked, "Is it because of my special status that my foster father and master decided to keep me in Xiliang?"

Behind him is the empty hall, and the lonely king on the supreme seat of the hall.

"No." The King of Xiliang was hidden under the dim light, unable to see his expression clearly.

"I believe."

The night is cold as water.

The King of Xiliang looked at Chu Lingshang's thin back, and suddenly remembered that when he was just rescued by them, he was so seriously injured, but he kept silent, like a stubborn wolf cub.

That day, Si Ran told him that he wanted to keep this child.Therefore, the most honorable king of Xiliang recognized him as his adoptive son, asked him to worship Si Ran as his teacher, and gave him the best status.In his opinion, this is his and Si Ran's common child.He couldn't give him the supreme position, and he wanted him to be under one person and above ten thousand people.

But fate tricks people, a coincidence, he heard the secret of King Rui and Wen Ruyu, and was surprised to find that the only son of Wen Ruyu who died in the reform struggle had so many overlaps with the child they rescued, so he followed the clues to find out When he went down, he found out that he was the son of Wen Ruyu, the prime minister of Chen Guo, what should he do?He didn't want to use him, but had to use him.

He thought of that person, if he wasn't the king, they should have lived in seclusion in the mountains and rivers by now, happy and peaceful.

The widow, the widow, is really a lonely family, sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, but enjoying boundless loneliness.
