Chiwuxing

Chapter Seventy-Ninth - Knee-to-knee comfort meeting with brothers and sisters, Shen Yan has no solution and falls into obsession in the same boat

A low-key Wujin carriage traveled along the Batonggui Lane outside the palace to a sparse post house. The carriage turned and stopped towards the back door. The waiter jumped off the horse, moved the ladder, and said in a low voice, "Master, we're here."

Zong Zhengyi was dressed in black uniform, stepped down the stairs, his face was plain, and seemed to be tired.

"Tong Xiu," Zong Zhengyi stared at the back door of Chen Pu's post house. There was no plaque or sign. Since Princess Minyu entered the palace, the guards around the house had been withdrawn, and it was still as lonely as usual. "There is no need to follow." Alright, I can go in alone, you wait outside."

Tong Xiuxu caressed to one side, and bowed to remind: "Master, there are hidden guards accompanying you along the road, after you enter, if you hear any movement in the room, your subordinates can break the door to protect you at any time."

Zong Zhengyi nodded lightly, and stepped forward towards the gate, after a few steps, he lifted his robe and stepped over the wooden threshold.

Most of the flowers and plants in the courtyard are withered, and this place has been unoccupied for many years. In addition, Princess Minyu came here as a pledge, and no one below intends to restore it completely.

Zong Zhengyi passed through the courtyard, looked at the main house, and when he was about to knock on the door, he saw the wooden door suddenly opened, the visitor might have heard his footsteps.He raised his head and found that the person who opened the door was none other than Hu Qiang Princess He Xuyu who had been entrusted to come here earlier.

He raised his lips and said warmly: "If the princess has something to see Gu, you can see me in the palace, there is no need to make a special trip outside the palace to meet."

"It's inconvenient in the palace." Huxun replied briefly.

Zong Zhengyi noticed that He Xujun was wearing Yan official clothes, and said clearly: "It is very inappropriate for the princess to go out of the palace in private. , it is of no benefit to the Hu and Qiang tribes, it is better to be careful."

There was disgust on He Xuyun's face: "Does His Royal Highness want to expose me?"

It was originally a kind reminder, but it caused the woman to misunderstand.

Zong Zhengyi's face was not displeased with a faint smile, obviously he didn't take this matter to heart, he shook his head lightly.

"It's not that I'm looking for you," Huxun said coldly, "There are people in the room looking for you."

Seeing the woman sideways give way to the crack of the door, and seeing the closed door, Zong Zhengyi's stiff body showed a little nervousness for no reason.

His smile dropped a little, and he slowly stepped forward and pushed the door open.I saw that the inside of the house is not big, the two main seats directly opposite are empty, the left side is the partition of the inner room with railings, and the right side is erected an old-fashioned verdant green bamboo screen. Through the light and shadow, one can vaguely see a man sitting and standing. back view.

Zong Zhengyi immediately lost his appearance, quickly walked behind the screen, stopped suddenly a few steps away from the person sitting, and shouted in astonishment:

"...Brother."

Zong Zhengxi looked at him and glanced at his expression indifferently, just like before.

The surprise was only momentary, and the feeling of seeing him again faded away. Zong Zhengyi stood there for a long time, then nodded stiffly, and said, "So...you are really still alive."

"Sit first." Zong Zhengxi motioned to the opposite chair.

Zong Zhengyi sat down according to his words, leaned over for a moment, his eyes swept across the iron wheelchair under the man, and then quietly turned to the man's face.

The two fell into silence together and hadn't seen each other for a long time. Compared with the doubts in his heart, Zong Zhengyi was more afraid of his current actions.Times have changed, and he has gone through a long period of hard work. According to his own situation, he dare not guess what the man is thinking at this time, and what he plans to do.

"Thin." Zong Zhengxi looked at his figure for a long time and came to a conclusion.

Zong Zhengyi smiled when he heard the words, avoided Zong Zhengxi's gaze, and turned to his strong body wrapped under the black stand-up collar. If he went to the wheelchair, he would still be the one that attracted the most attention among ordinary soldiers, and said: "Brother is suffering."

Zong Zhengxi was silent.

Under the gaze of his brother's chiseled and exquisitely carved eyes, the prince has nowhere to hide.

He sighed: "Since the elder brother is able to find the younger brother, he must be aware of the current situation of the younger brother. The father is sick. After all, there are many things that need to be familiarized with. The daily labor is also unavoidable."

Zong Zhengxi said: "Is lunch ready?"

"When I came here, I had a simple meal in the palace," Zong Zhengyi was slightly surprised. He thought that the man wanted to talk about serious matters, but the topic was brought up by the man to daily affairs, and he felt inexplicably sour.He asked again, "Where's brother? Can you eat well outside?"

"Second brother forgot, because my brother has been fighting outside all year round and is used to the military rations in the camp, so he doesn't care about food and hunger anymore." Zongzheng Xi said.

These words are slightly harsh in the eyes of ordinary people, but as soon as the "Second Brother" heard it, Zong Zhengyi found it difficult to speak again, and there was a lot of embarrassment in his heart.

Zong Zhengxi was the first to ask, "Why does my second brother think I'm still alive?"

"It's just an intuition from the bottom of my heart," Zong Zhengyi seemed to feel that the answer was a little funny, and continued, pursing his lips, "The siege of the city has always been a good thing for my brother. In my heart, my brother is looking for what he can get. People, there are very few things that can be beyond the eyes of elder brother."

"Seek what you can get..." Zong Zhengxi smacked the word carefully, and gently curled the corner of his lower lip, "Second brother is familiar with the management of the world in the East Palace, so don't be contaminated by the sour habits of those scholars and bureaucrats." .”

Zong Zhengyi also smiled and said: "I understand, but what I said just now is true. The more I was restrained in the palace, the more I understood the bravery of my brother who joined the army and entered the camp alone before he was crowned. I really envy my brother for his freedom."

Zong Zhengxi raised his hand and half lifted the lid of the teacup on the table, looked carefully, and said, "The tea that was prepared just now is a bit cold..."

"It's okay," Zong Zhengyi stretched out his hand to take it, the back of his hand wiped the thin black leather cover on the man's fingertips, he noticed that the man's whole body was completely covered with attire, he took a sip of tea, he didn't know what it was like, " ...Brother has a heart."

"Does the second brother still compose poems and paint pictures when he is free?" Zong Zhengxi asked.

"No," Zong Zhengyi shook his head, "after the emperor's father fell ill, all the officials in the court were ready to move, and my younger brother didn't dare to say anything at this time... Besides, it was rumored in the court that the prince studied poetry, painting, music and prose all for the sake of His Majesty. Huanxin', in this way, it just happens to be a good reason, and it may not be a bad thing."

The two sat opposite each other, the sun was just right outside the window, and the bright light poured into the table in the middle, answering questions, it seemed like ordinary brothers chatting at home.

"How is the imperial concubine?" Zong Zhengxi asked calmly.

Zongzheng Yi shook his hand as he closed the white porcelain tea lid, just in time for a crisp sound.He looked up at Zong Zhengxi's expression, slowly placed the teacup on the table, and said, "Brother... If you have something on your mind, why don't you tell me directly?"

"Your Majesty is my adoptive mother in name. Even though she has no affection for nurturing her, she has the meaning of a royal title, and it is reasonable to take care of her." Zong Zhengxi stared at him.

These words did not carry the slightest temperature, directly leading the atmosphere to freezing point.

Zong Zhengyi could not fail to hear the sternness in his tone, this statement directly touched the most ashamed part of his heart, and now that he is lucky enough to meet again, he knows that it is difficult to lie to him.

Heartbroken, he immediately stood up, knelt down in front of the man, closed his eyes and confessed: "Brother, there was something that I didn't tell the truth back then. Since the news of my brother's bad news came to Dijing two years ago, I have often said it myself." Go against your heart."

"Kong Kong has learned many years of governing the world, but still covers up evil for selfish desires...My brother knows what his brother has been thinking for many years, but he has offended him."

Zongzheng Xi stared at him expressionlessly, before saying for a long time: "...let's go on."

The words have come to this point, and Zong Zhengyi has no time to explore whether the man's meaning is knowingly asking or not knowing. The complicated political affairs have been piled up in his heart for the past few days, so that he can't bear more and more burdens, so he confessed: "Brother more than 20 years ago When investigating the cause of Mrs. Lingfu's death, my brother and brother said that the poisonous snake in the water was planted by Jiang Hua. This statement is correct, but the poison alone may not be enough to kill Mrs. Lingfu, and—”

Zongzheng Yi lowered his head again, grabbed the slit on the side of his robe with his fingers, took a deep breath, and said: "Also, the snacks that my concubine mother ate for my wife in advance were mixed with gelatin, which stuck to the throat when it was exposed to water, causing it to die before drowning." Can't struggle."

The man narrowed his eyes, and a shadow fell into the eye socket.

Zong Zhengyi felt this silent torture, and he didn't dare to speak out. After many years of revealing the secret, he was a little happy: "Later, my brother returned to Beijing from the border a few times, and my brother had the opportunity to confess the truth several times."

"Does Ni Conghua know that you know what happened?"

Zong Zhengyi didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he shook his head again, and said, "I shouldn't know, I just happened to see the court lady who was going to clean up the cakes acting sneakily, so I realized something was wrong."

Zong Zhengxi stared at him, then sneered and said, "Secret relatives, the sage scriptures that my second brother has read for many years are good."

There was a sound of the wheels tumbling, and Zong Zhengyi felt that the person in front of him was getting closer, so he closed his eyes and dared not move rashly.He knew that his elder brother was commanding in the army, and he was ready to be slapped and kicked at this time.

"stand up."

"The mother concubine is the mother of my brother's childbirth. If the elder brother hates her, the younger brother, as a son of man, should bear the blame for him."

"Human life and death, how can you bear it for her?" Zongzheng Xi said, "My mother was young and grew up in a barbarian way. How could she not understand poisonous gu and water? You were only a seven-year-old child at that time, and you couldn't think too much. Zhou, Bandit Jiang is going against my mother again, if there is no order from above, with his ability, how could he do such a thing that will endanger him by being held accountable."

Zong Zhengyi was alone with the man's sarcasm, and he said in panic: "Brother...does he have to pay for his life with his life...will he give up?"

"What if I say... yes."

As soon as the words were finished, Zong Zhengyi didn't say a word, he immediately stretched out his arms to grab the teacup on the table, smashed it to the ground, and then grabbed a piece of broken porcelain by himself, and cut it towards his wrist.

Zong Zhengxi's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed his arm, which made him unable to move immediately.

"You are you, and she is her," the man's voice sank a bit angrily, "If I wanted to take your life, how many times earlier would I need to talk to you so much."

"Get up." Zong Zhengxi supported his arm and repeated.

Zong Zhengyi stood up, and sat back in his original seat stiffly, with a distressed expression on his face.

The man also sighed slightly in his heart, he knew that his half-brother was not as ignorant and dull as the court privately discussed, but he had a sober and foolish sincerity.

In the past few times in those years when he went back to Beijing for rest, Zong Zhengyi would always come to comfort him with poems, paintings and ink written by his relatives. He knew that there must be some shame for what he concealed back then, but In the palace, it is almost impossible to find people who often ask for guilt just because of relatives' mistakes.

The imperial palace is a closed and exquisite pavilion on a high place. Outside the cage, there are the most insidious people who hide their hearts. Inside the cage, they are either deceiving themselves with their eyes closed, or they are indifferent, or they are pretending to be stupid and escaping.The only thing missing is the flesh and blood friendship of ordinary people.

"Second brother," Zong Zhengxi sighed, "you are not suitable to be an emperor."

However, Zong Zhengyi misunderstood the meaning of these words, his mind was dazed, and he immediately said: "If elder brother's heart is here, younger brother can help elder brother ascend to the Great Treasure."

Zong Zhengxi snorted lightly and said, "I'm just a member of the army, how can I afford the political affairs of my family and country."

Zong Zhengyi also consciously said something wrong, since a man joined the army since he was a child, he has already seen his dislike for the government of the palace, his words, on the contrary, seemed to insult his intentions, so he said: "...my brother made a slip of the tongue, brother forgive me. "

"No wonder you," Zongzheng Xi said, "Since he is already outside the palace, there is no need for the second brother to be too formal. Today, I made a special trip to invite the second brother out of the palace because I have something to ask."

"Brother, it doesn't matter what you say."

Zongzhengxi cut to the chase and said, "I heard that a Zen master from Jinguang Temple was invited into the palace to chant scriptures and pray for His Majesty. I would like to ask my second brother to accommodate me a little bit, and invite the monk out of the palace for a while."

Zongzheng Yi was taken aback for a moment, then turned to ask: "Brother is talking about Zen Master Yuming from Jinguang Temple?"

"Exactly."

Seeing Zongzheng Yi's hesitation, Zongzheng Xi said indifferently: "Why, it's inconvenient?"

"...It's inconvenient. If elder brother wants to see him, I can find a reason to invite that Zen master out at any time," Zongzheng said. It is not an exaggeration to support my younger brother."

Zongzheng Xi said: "I still say the same thing, Ni Conghua is Ni Conghua, you are you, if it weren't for the bond of blood, you would not be the same kind of people."

Zong Zhengyi frowned obstinately, and said: "But it is precisely this blood relationship here... I have been in a dilemma since the beginning, does elder brother know?"

For some reason, the man suddenly thought of another young man who was younger, and said in silence for a moment: "...Brother, I understand that the fate of relatives is predetermined, and it is not for the world to choose. But this living burden, But it was man-made...Second brother, I have never wanted to have any hostility with you, so please forgive me."

Ever since he was a child, Zong Zhengyi had never heard of his elder brother's actions of retreating and admitting defeat, but now the colder his words were, the colder his heart became, and he said harshly: "Brother, how do you pretend to die in another city?" , I have entangled with Hu Qiang's princess, and I don't want to ask further questions, just this...can you tell me frankly, why are you...what are you going to do?"

"No comment." Zong Zhengxi was as cold as usual.

Zong Zhengyi was discouraged and said: "The things that brother wants...can you give it to me in the future?"

"I can't," the man said with low eyes, "Everything has a cause and effect, and there is bound to be an answer."

Hearing this, the prince slowly squeezed out a smile, and said: "In the past, I always thought that as long as I didn't do many things, I didn't care what I could or couldn't do. Now my brother wants to push things to the extreme, so I realize that those who didn't It's just an excuse for my own cowardice and incompetence."

Zongzheng Xi said: "Everyone has suffering, and it is enough not to push the suffering to others. If you are a victim, and you repay the retribution, it is just an act of God's will without benevolence and relatives."

"Brother, if he refuses to let others go, he is also not letting go of himself," Zongzheng said sadly, "Why can't I give myself a relief? There are so many things in this world that are worthy of nostalgia. How can you treat yourself so hard? For what benefit?"

Zongzheng Xi shook his head with a faint smile, and said: "If my second brother has experienced what I have experienced, he will still make the same decision. From the beginning to the end, I did not do it for any benefit. I am crazy about all kinds of things in the world. I am afraid that I will pass that greedy pleasure for my brother. At my age, I also lost the thought of appreciating it.”

Zongzheng smiled wryly, and said firmly: "At any time, no matter what elder brother wants to do, I will never complain to elder brother. It's just that if elder brother wants to do something now, it will really make me fall into guilt for the rest of my life."

Zong Zhengxi lowered his eyes and said, "Second brother knows that I have always been ruthless."

"No," Zongzheng said, "I am very clear about what kind of person elder brother is."

The man was silent again, this time it was speechless.

The courtiers know that the crown prince is as elegant as your majesty in poetry, calligraphy, painting and fu, but they don't know that a person who can understand the temperament of flowers and trees can do it himself.Even though he has made few achievements in political affairs, his heart has always been clear, and he only hates being in the emperor's house. This kind of thinking is wrapped up in the stream of silence and official resignations, and gradually turns into a fatuous and desolate prison.

Zong Zhengyi let out a long breath, and said: "I already know what my brother entrusted me with today. If my brother is fine tonight, I can immediately enter the palace to settle down. After my mother and concubine rest at night, I will send someone to take Zen Master Yuming out of the palace. .”

"Second brother Lao."

"Elder brother has already said what should be said," Zongzheng said, "I am not a talkative person. If there is a conflict in the future, it will be decided by God's will."

"Second brother, why don't you bring the small gift I prepared in advance with you before you leave." Zong Zhengyi raised his hand and pointed to the wooden box on the edge of the table, which was square and about the size of a human head.

Zongzheng raised his eyebrows, but he didn't dare to touch the box, he only cautiously asked: "...what is it?"

"It's not something expensive," Zongzheng Xi said, "it's just four taels of wine bought from a liquor store in Beijing."

Zong Zhengyi paused his hand that was about to reach out, pursed his lips and said, "Brother knows that I don't like drinking."

"...According to the method of making this wine, the second brother will not be drunk."

Zong Zhengyi put his hands back on his knees, and said: "Military use is tight, Jin Duo went to the government to withdraw the right to buy and sell wine and salt that day, it was just to relieve the urgent need, I didn't expect this situation to happen now."

"Jin Duo asked himself to resign not long after the performance. He only cared about his own safety, rowing without relying on sails, and leaving the rest of the stall for others to take advantage of." Wherever you go, the second brother has to be careful."

Zong Zhengyi nodded, and said: "Foreign aggression comes first, the military comes first, I have spare money for war. It's just that the wine selling system has been implemented for a long time, and in times of turmoil, there should be no changes that affect people's livelihood. "

"There is nothing wrong with this, but I can't help reminding my second brother to be careful when doing things in the palace," Zongzheng Xi said, "I know that what you are doing in this position is very good, but don't be careless."

"I understand," Zongzheng said, "I never thought that my elder brother would be able to know so many court affairs even though he is far away from Beijing."

"This is what is horrifying," Zongzheng Xi said. "People in the world are not fools. Although there is a delay in every action, the rumors of the movement in the market are not much different from what actually happened."

Zong Zhengyi was suddenly a little puzzled, he couldn't understand the man's attitude, and sighed: "Older brother and younger brother...is it an enemy or a friend..."

"You and I have always been brothers," Zongzheng Xi said, "not enemies, more than friends. Even if there is a conflict in the future, you can blame it on me."

These words reassured Zong Zhengyi, even when he returned to his childhood, even though Zong Zhengxi was aloof and much older at that time, he was able to take the lead in helping him when he was drowned.On the contrary, he, because of women, actually had different ambitions, and occasionally had thoughts that he shouldn't have.

"I understand," Zongzheng said, "I asked someone to send the Chan Master out of the palace at night, I hope I won't disturb my brother's rest at that time."

Zong Zhengxi silently nodded, looked down at the crown prince's false salute, and walked away slowly holding the wooden box.

The sound of the room fades away.

The man bowed slightly, and picked up the broken porcelain on the ground one by one.

Until another female voice sounded from behind: "Is Chasa just colluding with him in political affairs?"

The broken porcelain pieces are protected by a layer of gloves, so they won't hurt your fingers. The man said lightly, "No rush."

He Xuyun couldn't understand him, but said: "The prince has a relationship with Chasa, and there will be wars in the future, will Chasa be lenient?"

"Don't show mercy, but keep your life," Zongzheng Xi said, "Princess, don't underestimate him. In the future, he will still need his help in the palace."

Huxun thought for a while, then backed away silently.

As the moon moves to the sky, the Banjing Post House, which has not been repaired all year round, welcomes a secret guest again.

Huxun took a few glances at the visitor, led him into the house, and then stopped a few attendants and waited outside the court.

The two sat opposite each other in the room.

Yuming wrapped a black cloak over his monk robe, which was not very conspicuous in the dark.

A small handful of candles on the table were slightly lit, just reflecting on the faces of the two of them.

"Zen master is well." Zong Zhengxi took a look at his face, and found that it was not much different from two years ago. It was true that his face was as he wanted, and meditation had the effect of calming his face.

Yuming lowered his eyes and put his hands together: "... Amitabha."

"I didn't say thank you Zen Master for saving me before, but I heard that first Chan Master Haiyin passed away, and then Chan Master went to the palace to pray for scriptures, and now we meet again in the imperial capital.

The monk's face is fair and clean, and the red light of the candle warms up his degenerate demeanor, which is a little closer than before.

Yuming said: "The heart moves freely, and the poor monk only does what should be done."

"I came here to bother you at this hour because I have something to ask the Zen master." Zong Zhengxi said bluntly.

"Tan Yue speaks seriously."

Zongzheng Xi said: "Before I saw that the Zen master had a good prescription for shaving the poison to cure the disease. Now there is still an illness. People who have searched for the doctor in the territory have no results, so I have to ask the Zen master again for help."

"Ordinary skills should not be shown off in front of others," Yu Ming said, "but seeing Tan Yue's sincerity, he has no choice but to put people's orders first...May I ask what the disease is?"

"My mind is troubled, and I can't sleep at night."

Yuming raised his hand and said, "Tanyue can let the poor monk check his pulse."

Zong Zhengxi didn't move, he just said: "It's not because of my lower body, but because of my younger brother."

Yuming withdrew his hand, and heard the man say again:

"His pulse has been empty and empty all the year round. He was originally a martial arts practitioner, but now he has no internal energy, and his body is infected with poison. Now he has whiteness, blindness, degeneration of the five senses, and sometimes lies. quiet."

"Speedy and groundless in action, exhausted and sleepless. Anxiety in the heart, obstinate."

"According to his own words, his life expectancy is very few."

The candle wick on the desk suddenly jumped, and burned into a long wisp of green smoke. It turned out that a noctuid moth, reckless, broke into the fire.

Yuming listened quietly, and then said: "...Since Tanyue already knew Ruosi, he probably didn't need a poor monk to visit him to know his terminal condition."

"Two years ago, I was in dire straits, but the Zen master was still able to show his talents. He brought back his life from the danger of dying, and he also dispelled the poison in the root of the buttocks," Zong Zhengxi said, "If the Zen master can't do anything, then I really don’t know who to look for.”

"What happened to Tanyue that day was an emergency, and the poor monk just happened to save it at the right time, so that it would not be a disaster. What's more, Tanyue knew that the meridians of his legs were dead, and if he detoxified again, the curative effect would be almost useless," Yu Yu said. Ming Dao, "When it comes to medical skills, the poor monk knows the way to cure the disease, but he really doesn't have the ability to bring the dead back to life."

The man was silent and did not speak for a long time.

Yuming went on to say: "Instead of worrying about the limit of his life, it is better to cherish the moment when he can control it. Tan Yue also knows what his condition is. If there are only worries, it is better to make him feel at ease and give him what he wants. When people walk in the world, there will be a time when they are powerless to return to heaven.”

"...My younger brother has concerns about life and death, bitterness and hatred, which can't be resolved in a short time," Zongzheng Xi said, "The Chan Master's heart is indifferent, but it is difficult for the common people in the world to have the vision and heart of the Zen Master."

"...Amitabha," Yuming said in a low voice, and then said, "What Tanyue said is reasonable. No matter how poor monks can see through the bustling crowd, they will end up looking at the flowers in the mist. Human affairs, greed, hatred, ignorance, love, evil, desire , It’s easy to say, but hard to let go.”

Zong Zhengxi twitched the corners of his lips, and said: "The Chan Master is already rare and transparent. Since he is like this, he will not disturb you any more. Since the Chan Master can take risks and come specially tonight, he will come to Jinguang Temple in person in the future. Light up the incense and talk about your heart."

Hearing this, Yu Ming got up, covered the moonlight with a dark cloak, and said, "Tan Yue is inconvenient to travel, so there is no need to see him off."

After saying that, he stepped out of the door slowly.

The man sat silently in place.

There was the sound of footsteps beside the ear, the monk walked away, and Huxun entered the house and closed the door.

"The princess can hear clearly?" Zong Zhengxi said calmly.

He Xujun raised his eyebrows and said: "...Since Chasa sent his brother to call someone from the palace in my name, I don't think it's rude."

Now she is the only one trapped in a different place, and Qiu Ri is reborn with a subdued heart, and she will not be without a little bit of nostalgia. How can Di Yan's wariness be easily eliminated?

"It should be like this," Zongzheng Xi said, "There is nothing to be taboo about."

"The younger brother that Chasa just said... is the prince who came at noon?" He Xuyun was suspicious, as if she had heard that the person in front of her was not the same mother as the prince of Yan.

"No, it's just a temporary prevarication." The man's expression was desolate under the bleak moonlight, as if the meaning of the inextricable midwinter, "Jia Sheng suffered from insanity and dementia. Good thing."

Princess Hu Qiang is smart, and she knew a little bit about the cause and effect of Hu Di: "For this reason, Chasa transferred Jia Sheng to his room to try to treat him?... No wonder my father didn't want me to tell the truth."

"Since he has participated in the army of the Hu region, if it is reported that he is deeply ill, he will not be able to convince the public," Zongzheng Xi said, "Princess is a sensible person, and I will definitely not question her ability because of this."

"I don't think Jia Sheng cares about these things..." He Xuyun remembered something, and said again, "I heard from him before that his abnormal appearance was caused by poisoning in the past?"

"Yes."

He Xuyun said: "Is it because of this that he has enmity with the Yan people?"

"He is not a person with jealousy and envy in his heart. For him," Zong Zhengxi narrowed his eyes, and said, "If there is a way to escape from the negative pressure, he will definitely find all kinds of reasons to escape the destiny. responsible."

"Oh?"

I don't know if it was because of the light, but Huxun seemed to see a little smile on the man's face.

"He was born with a tired and lazy heart, which can drive him to the point where he is now—"

The man's expression was stiff, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Huxue continued suspiciously: "Chasa only knew him at the same time as me, so why do you know him so well?"

"Princess can you trust Qiu?" Zong Zhengxi asked suddenly.

"...Of course I believe it." She was no one to be trusted, Huxun said.

Zongzheng Xi said: "It is reasonable to say that even if the princess and the wolf master have the handle on my identity, but the Hu people regard the Yan people as enemies, how can they trust me, a foreigner?"

He Xuyun thought: "My father trusts Chasa as a man, and I trust my father's judgment."

"The wolf lord only met me a few times at first, but only after entering Hu, did the princess think that rumors alone were enough to make the wolf lord trust me?" Zong Zhengxi asked.

He Xuyun shook his head: "Father is a cautious person, but he just told me that Chasa is a human being."

"There are rumors in Yan that a person with a pure mind can judge his heart with just a pair of eyes," Zongzheng Xi said leisurely, "For another example, the princess has already seen the bustling streets of the imperial capital when she enters Yan. Listing the complex and subtle aspects of Yandi, I am afraid that many of them can be found out of my heart. But there is only one reason for the princess to hate Yan, and that is the hatred of the family behind him, which has not disappeared from the beginning."

"Similarly, for people, trust can be extremely difficult to obtain, or it can be a momentary thing. Even without any clear reason, just a surge of emotion is enough to make a person willing to gamble with himself. Entrust to pay."

He Xujun seemed to understand, but nodded and said: "...at least there is one thing that I can't compare with the people of Yan. All of them are good at speaking and speaking."

Zong Zhengxi estimated the time in his mind, and said: "If the princess has nothing to do, she should go back to the palace earlier. The people in the Yan court show respect on the surface, but they may not always have good thoughts in their hearts. Pay attention to the actions of the noble concubine, Although she doesn't dare to touch you at this moment, you still have to be on guard against her, and would rather trust the prince than get involved with her too much."

"Understood." Huxun replied.
