I don't read sage books

The author has something to say: Xiao Chu's robbery is waiting here.

As soon as the lights came on, a simple carriage greeted the back door of the Shizi Mansion. The well-dressed man went to the door and knocked twice. After a while, servants came out to greet him.

The curtain of the car was lifted, and a slender and tall figure behind the wooden door was not in the night. The person who came had a slightly pale face with a delicate appearance, but there was a faint lingering depression between his brows, which made his whole body The person looks with a different style, he is wearing a sea pine green robe and a jade crown, just like a prince of a family.

The servant welcomed him into the mansion, crossed the waterside terrace, and stayed in a secret courtyard.

The young man entered first, and after a short wait, the door was pushed open. Chu Yan came facing the moonlight, saw the figure standing with his hands behind his back, and called the little emperor uncle.

The young man turned around, revealing a fair face, his lips were close to light pink, and he said in a deep tone, "You don't need to be too polite."

The person who visited the Shizi Mansion in the middle of the night was none other than the Son of Heaven——Yuan Ze.

Chu Yan had already guessed why Yuan Ze came here uninvited. Ever since he met Lin Qingyu again, he knew that such a day would come, so he had to deal with it carefully at this time, pretending not to know, "Uncle Xiao Huang visited late at night, but there is someone What order?"

In the past few years, he secretly conspired many affairs for Yuan Ze. Chu Yan was young and always showed his love for romance. Many parties in the court were not very wary of him until he went to Cao County and captured the Su family. Selling private salt as a means of eradicating the Su family in one fell swoop has made him famous in the court.

Chu Yan originally thought that Yuan would beat around the bush, but he didn't expect him to cut straight to the point, "I want to see Lin Qingyu."

"Little Emperor?" Chu Yan raised his eyes, his eyes were complicated, "It's dark now..."

"You don't have to make many excuses." Yuan Ze's beautiful face showed a weak smile, "I promised you to keep him alive that day, so there is no joke."

His self-proclaimed name was changed from "me" to "zhen", and Chu Yan, as a minister, had no choice but to follow.

Lin Qingyu has been in Shizi Mansion for some time. These days, Chu Yan is careful to block the news, but at the feet of the emperor, where is there any secret that can be hidden? Yes, let the servants invite Lin Qingyu.

While waiting for this moment, Yuan Ze paced slowly in the room, speaking at a gentle speed, "I remember that I was 15 years old when I became the throne, and my mother and queen eliminated all dissidents for me. I beg you to be an idle prince, and let me sit firmly on the throne because of death, injury, and brotherhood."

Chu Yan knows all these secrets, and even, the current queen mother is not Yuan Ze's biological mother, but Yuan Ze's mother-killing enemy. He is very clear. Chu Yan feels a little uneasy in his heart, and he does not want Yuan Ze to continue talking. , but Yuan Ze has already fallen into memory by himself.

"In fact, compared to your father, my elder brother, Chu Yan, you are closer to me. How old are you? You grew up with me. Naturally, you and I have a very special relationship." Yuan Ze Then, his eyes fell on Chu Yan's face, and he said with a smile, "Over the years, you have secretly helped me a lot, and I am very grateful to you. There is only one Jiang family left, and once the Jiang family is eliminated, I no longer have to be controlled everywhere and be that puppet emperor."

Chu Yan was astonished, and interrupted Yuan Ze's words instinctively, "The Holy One is the real emperor of Ming Dynasty, and I will do my best to help the Holy One set things right and make Ming clear."

Yuan Ze came forward and stood in front of Chu Yan. His pupils were light in color, like amber that had been formed for thousands of years. When he was too focused on looking at people, he would have the illusion that he could see through people's hearts. He slowly held Chu Yan's wrist, whispered, "Xiao Yan, I haven't called you like this for a long time. I want you to say a word today. When all the relatives are pulled up in the future, you may stay by my side for the rest of your life and share the great Ming Dynasty." .”

Chu Yan raised his eyes suddenly, Yuan Ze's expression was too paranoid, he breathed slightly, lowered his head again and again, pretending not to understand Yuan Ze's words, pretending to easily remind Yuan Ze's identity, "Little Huangshu joked Now, this Great Ming Dynasty belongs to the little Huangshu. In the future, when Chu Yan succeeds and retires, I still hope that the little Huangshu..."

"Retire after success?" Yuan Ze smiled lightly.

Chu Yan frowned, Yuan Ze's behavior had already made him extremely unhappy, he suppressed his displeasure, and said, "I hope the little emperor understands that I am sincerely loyal to Daming."

"Not enough!" Yuan Ze suddenly became ruthless, and his beautiful face finally turned a little bloody, "You have never disobeyed me, but in the case of private salt, you have always distinguished public and private, but ignored the laws of Ming Dynasty and forcibly left the Lin family behind. Brother's life, is this your sincere heart?"

Chu Yan gritted his teeth, looked straight at Yuan Ze, and couldn't help being annoyed, "When I used the next ten years of life to be loyal to the Holy Majesty in exchange for the lives of the Lin family brothers, the Holy Majesty did not have any objections."

Yuan Ze firmly held Chu Yan's hand, and there were traces of madness in his eyes, "I never knew that you had an affair with that traitor, didn't you lie to me?"

Chu Yannian held Yuan Ze's identity for a long time, but now he couldn't bear it anymore. He threw away Yuan Ze's hand and said angrily, "That's Chu Yan's private matter, little Huangshu don't need to ask about it."

Yuan Ze's temples twitched twice, and then he smiled again, "Chu Yan, Chu Yan, I don't know how I treat you..."

Chu Yan was horrified. Once some things were found out, they would be lost forever. He knelt down with a thud, bowed heavily, and said loudly, "I have only admiration for the Holy One."

Yuan Ze stood still for a long time, and did not reply. The silence in the room was eerie, almost swallowing people, but at this moment, the servants reported that Lin Qingyu had arrived outside the courtyard.

-

After Lin Qingyu took care of his elder brother to drink the medicine, and checked He Tang's wound, some servants rushed to invite him.

He has been staying in the Chu Mansion for seven or eight days, Chu Yan tried various ways to please him, but the two of them still haven't broken the ice, he didn't want to go, but in the end, he had to go to meet someone else.

But when he arrived at the courtyard that he had never been to before, Lin Qingyu felt a little strange.

The servants led him to the door, Lin Qingyu didn't think too much, called Chu Yan twice, did not hear the answer, and pushed the door in doubt.

Candles were lit inside the house, and the view was unobstructed.

Lin Qingyu first saw the tall figure standing in front of the hall. The young man had an upper-class appearance, beautiful and picturesque, but with a gloomy face, looking not easy to get along with, but to Lin Qingyu's surprise, Chu Yan knelt straight In front of the young man, he was stunned for a long time, blinked, and asked in confusion, "Chu Yan?"

Chu Yan raised his complicated face and said, "Qingyu, kneel down and worship the Holy One."

Lin Qingyu's legs were so frightened that his legs became weak. He looked at Yuan Ze in shock, and after a moment of stunned, he knelt down and kowtowed in a panic, but he didn't know what to say, so he had to follow the routine in the script, "Caomin see Your Majesty."

Yuan Ze has been sizing up Lin Qingyu since he came in, and his appearance is first-class, no wonder Chu Yan is interested, he paced towards Lin Qingyu, Chu Yan opened his lips, did he add fuel to the fire? Stopped it aloud.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Lin Qingyu boldly raised her head to look at the Emperor of Daming, both curious and fearful, while Yuan Ze looked down at him from above, Lin Qingyu could feel his scrutinizing eyes, as if wanting him As if seeing through every inch, Lin Qingyu couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and looked in Chu Yan's direction for help. Chu Yan gave him a soothing look, and he felt a little relieved.

"You are Lin Qingyu?" Yuan Ze's voice did not resemble his handsome appearance, but was as deep as the depths of a pond.

Lin Qingyu nodded, "It's the grassroots."

Yuan Ze did not speak again, still staring at him intently, Lin Qingyu was a little hairy, Chu Yan finally made a relief, "Your Majesty, Qingyu is unavoidably flustered because she has a glimpse of Tianwei, please don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Yuan Ze lowered his eyes and asked Lin Qingyu, "Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Qingyu didn't dare to lie, because she was nervous and spoke a little hastily, "The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, so the grassroots are naturally very flattered to see each other."

Yuan Ze seemed to laugh, "Are you afraid that I will go back on my word and kill you?"

Lin Qingyu turned pale, why one or two would kill him, he stuttered in fright, but still boldly said, "Caomin heard Jun Wu's joke..."

Chu Yan frowned fiercely, disregarding the emperor's order, got up to Yuan Ze's side, and called out, "Uncle Huang."

Perhaps it was this sound that moved Yuan Ze, Yuan Ze slowly shifted his gaze to Chu Yan's face, and he pressed Chu Yan's shoulder, "I did not break my promise to you, and you must do what you promised me." It is."

Chu Yan's thin lips were tightly pursed, and after a while, his Adam's apple rolled, "I dare not forget."

Lin Qingyu couldn't understand the undercurrents between the two of them, but felt that Chu Yan was like a peacock whose feathers had been plucked, and turned gray in an instant. He didn't dare to speak rashly, and could only silently watch Chu Yan sent Yuan went out.

It wasn't until Yuan Ze's figure disappeared that Lin Qingyu sat down on the chair with his legs softened, and patted his chest to comfort himself. He never forgot about the private salt. Just now, he almost thought that Yuan Ze was about to ordered him to be killed.

Compared to this, he was even more puzzled by Yuan Zehe Chuyan's ambiguous words...

Just thinking about it, Chu Yan has gone and returned, no longer the smiling face of the past few days, but hugged him and sighed long.

Lin Qingyu couldn't bear to push away Chu Yan who looked like this, and asked in a murmur, "What's the matter, Your Majesty, do you want to see me?"

Chu Yan's arm was tightly wrapped around Lin Qingyu's waist, and he buried it into Lin Qingyu's neck with all his strength. Instead of answering Lin Qingyu's question, he said, "I won't let go."

Lin Qingyu was full of doubts, Chu Yan had already let go of him, and he showed the usual smile again, but the smile couldn't dispel the gloom in his eyes, he said, "Qingyu, if one day I have nothing, would you take me in?"

Lin Qingyu only thought he was joking again, "You are the son of the prince, a relative of the emperor, there will never be such a day."

Chu Yan smiled and did not answer, looked up at the moonlight shrouded in clouds outside the house, and murmured, "I hope."

From the moment he begged Yuan Ze to keep the Lin family brothers, he should have thought that there were some things that he had to face after all.

He thought that he would never see Lin Qingyu again in this lifetime, so what difference would it make between ten years and a hundred years, but life and the world are impermanent, and if he were to meet Lin Qingyu again, he would have to plan for the rest of his life.

Even if he dies, he will never look back.
