lover in the mirror

Chapter 7 A Brief Separation

Half a month later, the construction on both sides of the Yanjiang River had officially started. The emperor ordered Chu Yunqi to go to Yunling for inspection this morning, and the third prince Chu Yunfei naturally asked to go.

When he left tomorrow, Chu Yunqi couldn't help being a little irritable, not because he was afraid that Chu Yunfei would trip him up, it would be amazing if he didn't trip him up.It's just that thinking about not seeing Fu Xiaochen for a few days makes me feel a little bit reluctant.If it weren't for the fact that the mirror was too big, he really wanted to keep it with him all the time.

"I'm going to go to Yunling for inspection tomorrow, and I'll be back in about ten days."

"Oh, walk slowly, be careful on the road."

Seeing the other party's heartless appearance, Chu Yunqi was a little depressed, why did he not care about the other party when he was so attached to him.

"Have you nothing else to say to me besides this?"

"Ah?" Fu Xiaochen glanced at Chu Yunqi's eyes, as if he was expecting something, "Um, go early and come back early, I will miss you."

After getting the reply he expected, Chu Yunqi smiled in satisfaction, and said softly in a tone that he didn't realize, "Well, I will miss you too."

Fu Xiaochen felt that his blood bar was emptied in an instant. Your noble and glamorous prince's voice was so good before, why did you suddenly have such a gentle voice, so magnetic that your ears were almost pregnant.

Seeing Fu Xiaochen rubbing his hands suddenly, Chu Yunqi's expression became very strange, and he couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"

Fu Xiaochen glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued to rub his ears, "The voice is suddenly so gentle, the ears are almost pregnant."

It was the first time Chu Yunqi heard the allusion "The ear is about to be pregnant", and Chu Yunqi thought it was a little funny, but seeing Fu Xiaochen's smile deepened a lot.

... What should I do if I suddenly feel that the boy's heart has sprouted, Fu Xiaochen felt that he was KO'd by Chu Yunqi's smile.

Although Chu Yunqi didn't usually have an iceberg-faced face, but his expression was light, it was really foul to stare at people and smile so softly all of a sudden.

Thinking about it this way, it’s a good thing he doesn’t laugh like this usually. If he laughed like this every day, the peach blossoms would have rotted long ago, and maybe he would have a sadistic and affectionate battle for the throne with some evil, charming and crazy prince or something. No, no, Maybe it's a battle between top and bottom?

Fu Xiaochen felt that his brain hole was getting bigger and bigger, and if he continued to think about it, he really couldn't make up his brain hole, so he quickly put away his thoughts that didn't know where they were going.Looking up at Chu Yunqi, he didn't know what to say, so he could only think of what to say.

"Be careful on the road."

"En" laugh

"Go early and return early."

"En" laugh

"Don't get abducted."...I said something insane

"En" still laughing

"Don't smirk at people like this in the future!"

"...En" smirk?

To Chu Yunqi, Chu Yunfei and his subordinates are just a group of locusts, no matter where they go, they will be bad.

From Shangdu to Yanjiang, the two-day journey took three days abruptly.When I arrived at Yanjiang, I didn't go to inspect the project site, but quickly colluded with a group of like-minded officials to spread rumors.

Of course, Chu Yunqi didn't care about this kind of low-level tricks, and resolved them one by one. The offshoots of the Yu family had already met them in private, and they threw down enough bait to wait for this ambitious offshoot family to come to find him. him.

It's just that I can't help but feel a little irritated. I told Fu Xiaochen that I would go back in ten days. I'm afraid I won't be able to go back after being delayed by Chu Yunfei for ten days.

"Jinghong, report Chu Yunyang's whereabouts today."

Jinghong and Zhaoying are two shadow guards from Yuying. Yuying has always been the first royal shadow guard organization loyal to the emperor. It is composed of five people who were trained as professional shadow guards by the previous shadow guards since they were young.

When he was 12 years old, his father gave him the two youngest shadow guards.The prince lived in the palace before the age of 12, and after the age of 12, he had his own mansion and began to develop power. These two shadow guards were undoubtedly his right-hand men over the years.Although the other princes have shadow guards, they only started training after leaving the palace at the age of 12, so the quality is naturally not as good as Yuying.

"The third prince met the thief nicknamed Wuying at the Danqing Teahouse this morning. They chatted for less than a quarter of an hour, and only heard him say to the third prince before leaving, 'After the matter is done, the money and the goods will be settled.'"

"My third younger brother has made some progress. He knows how to collude with people in the world. What are the characteristics of Wuying?"

"Wuying is the third disciple of Bai Feifei, a famous thief saint for more than ten years. His real name is unknown. His martial arts are only second-rate, but his lightness kung fu is unrivaled in today's martial arts world. He can see at night. He is good at going deep into the house to steal things inside. He came and went without a trace. It’s just that although he is a disciple of Saint Thief, he did not follow the chivalry of his predecessors, and mostly steal treasures for his own self-interest, which is not in line with Saint Thief and other disciples.”

"Wuying must have come to me to steal the account book in the name of the third prince. Since he is very skilled, let him steal the account book."

It was night, a black shadow quickly passed the courtyard where the prince lived, avoided the patrolling guards in the courtyard, and skillfully touched the study.Scanning around, there were no guards, and the room was pitch-black. He gently opened the door and walked in sideways, walking freely in the darkness where he could not see his fingers.

He walked softly to the desk, opened the small interlayer directly under the desk, and got the "ledger" smoothly.Secretly delighted, he only lightly flew out of the courtyard and returned to another courtyard next door.

The third prince Chu Yunfei happily took over the ledger, and distressedly took out a large amount of banknotes to send away to Wuying, then flipped through the ledger under the lamp all night.In the prince's bedroom, the shadow guard Jinghong had already reported to Chu Yunqi that the ledger had been successfully stolen, and we only had to wait for the news from Chu Yunyang the next day.

After a whole night of research, Chu Yunfei discovered that the whereabouts of several appropriations were unknown, and he was ecstatic, thinking that he had caught evidence of the crown prince's embezzlement of silver.

Without the account book, the prince will definitely not be able to tell the whereabouts of the silver. If he fishes in troubled waters and gets greedy for a few pennies, then if he thoroughly checks the accounts, he will be able to rely entirely on the prince.Without thinking too much, he immediately met with several local officials who had made friends with him before, and discussed together which projects could make some money.

Chu Yunqi just pretended not to know about the actions of the third prince, but still went to inspect the project site every day, and still contacted Yunling Yu's family in private, and got the news that they were willing to serve him and jointly target the Yu's family, so he stopped. stay.

On the ninth day, Chu Yunqi and Chu Yunfei couldn't wait to rush back to Shangdu.Chu Yunfei hurried back with the ledger to collect "evidence" to expose the prince's embezzlement of huge sums of money in court, Chu Yunqi hurried back, and he didn't know what he was rushing to do.

Since the two of them returned home like an arrow, it only took more than a day from Yunling to Shangdu this time.Chu Yunqi was very satisfied with the speed this time, he ordered to take a bath after getting off his horse in front of the Prince's Mansion, and moved to the bedroom after a hasty dinner.

Fu Xiaochen said that it is really scary to get used to this kind of thing. After you get used to a person regularly refreshing in a certain place every day, once he is gone, you can't help but feel that your day is missing that part.

Having been gone for ten days and still not coming back, Fu Xiaochen couldn't help but worry that something might happen on the road.Shaking my head, I feel that I have been immersed in TV dramas since I was a child, so I always think about it, but when I saw him for the first time, he just suffered an assassination. This kind of thing happens twice. Who can guarantee that he will be safe and sound every time? Woolen cloth?

Feeling that his thoughts had drifted in a bad direction, Fu Xiaochen quickly grabbed it back.Well, at the beginning he said it was about ten days, so it's normal to be delayed for a day on the road.

As if he had convinced himself, Fu Xiaochen continued to attend lectures, eat, and go to self-study absent-mindedly. He didn't wake up until the final bell rang, and hurriedly grabbed his schoolbag, ignoring the call of his good friend Deng Yu behind him. strode out of the classroom.The sooner he got home, the stronger his sense of urgency. When he turned on the light and saw the man he hadn't seen for a long time in the mirror, he finally let go of his wandering heart.

"What about the agreed ten days?"

"Something happened on the way, so I was delayed for some time."

"Oh"

"Are you worried about me?"

"No." The simple answer

"So I'm being selfish?"

"Yeah, you just love yourself."

Seeing that Fu Xiaochen still had this duplicity, Chu Yunqi thought it was a bit funny, but he didn't dare to smile in front of him for fear of offending him, so he stopped deliberately teasing him. busy.

After returning from this familiar way of getting along, Fu Xiaochen felt that his learning efficiency had improved again. No wonder the princes and princes in ancient times were accompanied by book boys to study. It will be less boring.

Fu Xiaochen wouldn't tell Chu Yunqi that he thought he was very good-looking, so when he was tired from studying, he secretly watched him for a while to cultivate his sentiment (?) before studying.
