Travel back to ancient times to play danmei

When Xuan Yichen returned to the Second Prince's Hall, Luo Qiutang was already waiting for him in the study, drinking a cup of tea and leisurely flipping through the posters, occasionally dipped in tea to write and draw on the table when he saw good words, he looked up Seeing the flushed palm print on Xuan Yichen's face, he smiled and said, "Lord Liu is really unambiguous in what he did. Your Highness should apply it quickly, otherwise you won't be able to see anyone in the next two days."

Xuan Yichen was annoyed, "Luo Qiutang, who told you to be smart and tell Minister Wen the matter?"

Luo Qiutang was still smiling, stood up and let Xuan Yichen sit behind the desk, and poured him a cup of tea himself, "If people don't know, unless they do nothing, Your Highness thinks that Qiutang is the only one who can find out the deposed prince and the four. What about the prince? Anyway, it will be known sooner or later. Instead of making a wedding dress for others, it is better to make it convenient for yourself. This is what His Highness taught me. There is no reason not to hurt others in the struggle for succession. Your Highness values ​​friendship, and sometimes Can't help being timid, Qiutang just made a decision for His Highness that he wanted to do but couldn't make, in my opinion, it's not clear that the abolition of the crown prince is liberated this time."

After listening to his words, Xuan Yichen also calmed down a lot. Introspecting himself, he often hesitated because of his scruples about brotherhood, and missed many opportunities. But if it was not a last resort, he would not adopt this method of no retreat and fight to the end Only one person can stand and look at the beautiful rivers and mountains alone.

"Your Highness, you show mercy to the fourth prince, but he doesn't necessarily appreciate it. Do you know that at least ten people disappeared from the inn in Fengcheng last night?" Luo Qiutang's tone was serious. This was also the main purpose of his coming early in the morning. They recruited talented people from all over the country, and arranged them secretly in various inns in Fengcheng. Who would have thought that Xuan Yixi would sniff them out in just a few days.

"Sacrifice is inevitable..." Xuan Yichen sighed, his handsome face regained his usual calmness and elegance, "What happened to what I asked you to do?"

"Don't worry, Your Highness, the others are still being produced. Qiutang took one and made it first." Luo Qiutang took out something wrapped in red silk from his bosom, and handed it to Xuan Yichen with a solemn expression. Xuan Yichen When I opened it, the soldier talisman was so fake that it was impeccable even in its weight and newness. Luo Qiutang said, "In order to imitate the old, the brass has been mixed with something and soaked in acid, so the color It can only last for one day and one night, and then it will turn black obviously, and I am still thinking of new ways."

"No, one day and one night is enough," Xuan Yichen returned the soldier talisman to Luo Qiutang, "We are also a dangerous move, we must seize the right time... Before that, if we can negotiate with Yixi I don’t want to kill them all.”

After Luo Qiutang finished talking about the business, a smile appeared on his face again, "Master Liu, why don't His Highness explain clearly? Just put the blame on Qiutang."

"He doesn't believe me, he won't even listen to a few words from me, why should I force others, even if I say it, I'm afraid he will just think that I'm lying to him." When Xuan Yichen mentioned this, his handsome eyebrows frowned slightly, exhausted He waved his hand and said, "If you have nothing to do, you can go, I want to be alone."

"Yes." Luo Qiutang's thoughts turned, but he didn't show it on his face, and left the study without saying a word.

*****

Since the East Palace has no owner, Liu Juqi is naturally not suitable to live here anymore. He declined Xiao Meng's kindness to stay, and insisted on moving out of the palace. Xuan Yichen knew about this, but he didn't do much to stop it. The outside of the palace is cleaner than the inside of the palace. Many, if he and Xuan Yixi start fighting, there won't be any worries.

Xiao Luan found a house near Liuji Restaurant. Although the place was not big, it was elegant and compact. Liu Juqi moved in after simply looking at it.

When the turmoil of the abolition of the prince gradually subsided, Liu Juqi brought Xiao Luan into the palace again, intending to visit Xuan Yiyu in the cold palace.

The little eunuch led them farther and farther, Liu Juqi never knew that Yonggui's palace was still in such a remote place, when the eunuch led them to the place, Liu Juqi couldn't help sneering at the half-fallen old plaque, "Thinking about the hall"?What happened to Xuan Yiyu?

"Lord Liu, I don't know if I can go in, you can try it yourself." The little eunuch who led the way took the reward from Xiao Luan and left in a hurry.

"It's no wonder it's called Lenggong. It makes people feel cold before entering." Liu Juqi patted on the door panel, and the fine ash on it fell down. After a while, there was a sound of answering the door.

It was Xiao Shunzi who opened the door. He was surprised when he saw Liu Juqi, and then he looked around to see that there was no one else, so he opened the door completely, "Master Liu, come in quickly."

What I saw was a barren yard. It was early summer, but I couldn't find a single piece of dead grass. At the base of the wall, there was a half-burnt acacia plant, with curled branches and leaves, which were sick and wilting.

"Are you the only one serving Yiyu?"

"That's right, there were two girls before, but seeing His Highness losing power, she always threw dishes and mixed bowls with a straight face. Anyway, Xiao Shunzi could serve over here by herself, so I simply let them go. Your Highness will see worry."

Liu Juqi frowned, and walked across the yard to the bedroom. The two cabins beside him were so torn that even the window paper was missing, only the bigger one in the middle was barely passable. Liu Juqi was full of disbelief. here?"

"That's not bad, at least the inside is clean, and the beds, tables and chairs are complete." Xiao Shunzi sighed, and let Liu Juqi into the room. It was the bitter taste of traditional Chinese medicine. Xuan Yiyu sat on the bed, reading a book in the dim sunlight. Liu Juqi felt distressed when he saw it, and grabbed the book from his hand, "Be careful of hurting your eyes."

"Xiao Liu." Seeing that it was Liu Juqi, Xuan Yiyu's pale face immediately filled with a smile, and he pulled him to sit beside his bed, "Why are you here? Didn't Eunuch Fu make things difficult for you?"

Xiao Shunzi then said, "I didn't see Eunuch Fu's shadow just now, otherwise Master Liu would have come in." He passed the medicine dregs quickly with his hands and feet, and brought the boiled medicine to the bed, "Your Highness, it's time to take medicine .”

Xuan Yiyu frowned, and said reluctantly, "Didn't you drink it two hours ago?"

"Shang Yuyi said that a few days ago, he had to drink it three times a day."

"Let me come." Liu Juqi took the porcelain bowl from Xiao Shunzi's hand, scooped it up with a spoon and blew it cool, "Since the imperial doctor said it, you should drink it obediently, it's better than being seriously ill. Be nice."

"Brother Liu also made a lot of mint and licorice candies. Your Highness, take it away and eat slowly." Xiao Luan handed a small bag of candies to Xiao Shunzi. him.

Only Xuan Yiyu and Liu Juqi were left in the room. Xuan Yiyu took the medicine bowl and drank it, frowning in pain. Liu Juqi took out a stack of silver notes from his arms and stuffed it to Xuan Yiyu, "You Take it out and take it out, you can’t be sloppy with food, clothes, soup and medicine, you know?”

Xuan Yiyu refused to accept it, "I'm fine here, I don't need money."

"Take it, or you won't treat me as a friend." Liu Juqi didn't allow him to refuse, and stuffed it under Xuan Yiyu's pillow, "This room is too dark... By the way, this is for you."

Xuan Yiyu looked at the night pearl that Liu Juqi took out, which was about the size of a pigeon egg, emitting a soft milky white light, brighter than a candle, he took it and played with it, and said with a smile, "This is such a rare thing. , I have only seen such a big pearl in my life, and you are willing to give me a light, it is a waste of money."

"I keep it for fun, so it's better to give it to you." Liu Juqi fixed the beads on the bedside lace, just like Yan Sulan did that day, "It's much brighter now, you just wear it." Needle embroidery is also fine."

Xuan Yiyu laughed amusedly by him, "You can be poor-mouthed."

In fact, Liu Juqi has doubts in his heart. It is said that Emperor Fenglan loves Xuan Yiyu very much, but why did he ignore him after putting him in the cold palace? Yiyu's treatment made him suffer.

"I'm in a hurry today, and I'll bring you some brushes and painting utensils when I come next time, so you won't be bored here."

"It's enough for you to come this time. The Leng Palace is not a good place. Is it possible that you still have to be a guest from time to time?" Xuan Yiyu shook his head in disapproval, "I brought some of those things from the East Palace. There is nothing lacking in time, and the rumors are tight recently, you should take care of yourself first."

Liu Juqi looked at him suspiciously, smacked his lips after a while and said, "Yiyu, it's so strange, why do I think you seem to be happy after you entered the cold palace?"

Xuan Yiyu smiled lightly, "Although living here is not as good as the East Palace, at least everything is my own. I don't need to look at other people's eyes to live. Of course I am happy. To be honest, the feeling of being a prince is tantamount to a dove occupying a magpie's nest." , obviously does not belong to my seat, but my father imposed it on me, which made me feel very tired."

Liu Juqi held his hand, feeling so distressed that he couldn't speak. Fortunately, everything is over now, the dust has settled, and Xuan Yiyu no longer needs to be bound by the crown prince's false name. Liu Juqi hesitated for a while before speaking. Said, "I want to ask, you and Xuan Yixi..."

"No matter who is right or who is wrong, the facts are the same, and I don't want to make more sophistry."

As soon as the words fell, there was a commotion in the yard, and an old eunuch with a mean voice said loudly, "Stop! You are from that palace, do you know where this is? Who allowed you to come in!"

Xiao Luan put down the bucket in his hand heavily, "Eunuch Fu, don't you remember me? At least you should remember my lord, right?"

Father Fu?Liu Juqi thought for a while, then suddenly said, "Isn't he the old eunuch who made things difficult for us the day of the palace banquet performance, why was he transferred to the cold palace?"
