Reincarnation of the powerful minister

"Don't follow me anymore. Go back to the city and spread rumors, saying that Su Yan framed King Ning as a traitor without evidence. He was so arrogant that he was taken down by the first assistant Yang Ting under the "Ju Shou Chi" and sent to prison to wait. Interrogation. Then you will guard Beizhen Fusi and wait for my next instruction."

Following the emperor's oral order, Gao Shuo asked his undercover agents to spread the rumors around the capital, and then returned to Fusi in Beizhen to wait for instructions. who.

For this reason, he didn't even sit in the dormitory, and directly guarded the gate of the imperial prison. After thinking about it, he felt that it was not concealed enough, so he retreated to the jailer's resting place in the dungeon corridor, and drove away all the guards who were on duty today.

Subconsciously imitating the former Shangguan, leaning on the back of the chair and resting his feet comfortably on the edge of the table, Gao Shuo took out a pack of snacks given to him by Ruan Hongjiao from his bosom, saying it was a new product from "Zhi Ze Qing" Invite him to taste the dessert.

There are two kinds of desserts, one is named "the heart is too soft", Gao Shuo secretly complained, "This seems to be alluding to Mr. Su", and took a closer look at one - isn't it just hollowed out dried red dates stuffed with milk? Cake!No wonder the heart is too soft.Put it in your mouth and chew it, there is a smell of dates and milk, soft and sweet.

The other is called "the heart is too hard", which is a white lump, as if it was pulled from the dough.He threw it into his mouth and bit it, almost breaking his front teeth—it turned out to be a red date, covered with a layer of cheese and icing sugar, and a large dried almond was stuffed in the hollowed out heart.Could it be that the heart is too hard?

Gao Shuo thought dumbfoundingly: I really didn't realize that Miss Ruan is such a funny person.The taste of these two kinds of milk dates is quite good, and the name is even more intriguing. It is suitable for friends and couples to give as a joke. It must be popular all over the city after it is launched.

Little did they know that this little thing was the product of a few casual words from Su Yan. Although Ruan Hongjiao was ingenious, she really didn't have the level of naming such gags.

Gao Shuo has always loved red dates, and used to eat dates while jotting down a notebook when he was lying on the roof.Of the two flavors, he prefers "the heart is too soft", which feels sweet but not greasy, but also lingeringly waxy, very similar to the eyes he looks at Ruan Hongjiao now.

Chewing and chewing, more than half of a pack of milk dates will be wiped out quickly. "Is it delicious?" someone asked behind him.

Gao Shuo nodded: "It's delicious. Brother, come one too? But there's only 'heart too hard'—" He held a milk date and passed it to the back, and suddenly shivered.

This is not the voice of any jailer, this voice is - Gao Shuo suddenly turned his head, and the milk dates fell from his fingers: "...Master Shen?!"

Shen Qi reached out to catch the falling milk dates, and said expressionlessly: "The heart is too hard, how hard is it?"

He never expected that he would see Shen Qi again at this time and this place. Gao Shuo's mind fell into confusion for a moment, and he stammered and replied: "It's, it's okay, I can still bite..."

"I broke up with you face to face, and after many years, let him think that I was a pawn, but didn't give any explanation, and even learned that he had hurt his body, he still didn't show up, and he didn't send a single word—is it so hard?"

Gao Shuo: "..."

Shen Qi casually threw "the heart is too hard" into her mouth, and bit it into two pieces with a click. "Too sweet," he said.

Gao Shuo: "It's, it's okay, it's sweet but not greasy..."

"Sweet with bitterness."

Gao Shuo: "It smells like almonds...Some people like it."

Shen Qi swallowed the milk dates that she had chewed a few times, with a stern expression: "I dare not go in."

"What..." Gao Shuo stood up as if he had just woken up from a dream, and knocked over the grand master's chair.His mind gradually became clear, and he said solemnly, "I wouldn't dare to enter it. Almost no one can come out safely after entering the prison cell for repeated offenders. My lord, let me say something serious—even if you hold the prisoner No great achievement can equal the unforgivable crime of betraying the court and the emperor. It's not as good as..."

He gritted his back molars hard, and thought: "It's better to escape from the capital immediately and save your life first. The sky is big and the earth is big, where can't you settle down? The humble job drank too much, fell asleep, and didn't see anything."

"You think I'm afraid of being imprisoned, afraid of Ling Chi?" Shen Qi asked back.Gao Shuo's eyes widened.Shen Qi lowered her eyes and said: "I'm afraid of seeing him."

he.Who else can there be.A bright flash of light flashed across Gao Shuo's heart, thinking of Ruan Hongjiao who fell from the top of the Bazhou city wall, his eyes suddenly filled with a layer of damp heat.

"It's in the innermost room." Gao Shuo sniffed, and tried his best to say in a normal voice, "My lord, it's time to see him." He hurriedly stuffed the milk jujube paper bag on the table into Shen Qi's hands, Gao Shuo turned his head and walked away. Go to the dungeon exit.

Shen Qi knew that Gao Shuo was not going to report the news, but to watch out for him.

Tightly pinching the paper bag in her hand, Shen Qi stuffed another "heart is too hard" into her mouth as if to embolden herself, and crushed it between her teeth, suppressing the pounding heartbeat and slight footsteps.

He walked to the door of the deepest cell.

The door was closed but not locked.He held the paper bag with the hand hanging by his side, and after a short hesitation, he pushed open the cell door with the other hand.

There was a slight sound of "da", Bai Zi landed on the small eye.Su Yan's furrowed brows relaxed, and he murmured: "Good guy, this hand...is alive!"

A gust of wind blew in from the door, blowing the oil lamp by the bed so that the flame flickered and was almost extinguished.He quickly stretched out his hand to block the wind, and suddenly felt someone at the door, so he subconsciously turned his head to look——

It's the spring night with wine floating in the willow catkins, clarifying the eyes that met for the first time on the stone bridge on the street.

It is the winter night when the petals of wintersweet are falling, in the plum soup filled with white mist, the eyes looking back under the intoxicating moonlight.

It was a rainy summer night, on the stone bridge of defection and pursuit, knowing that they would part ways in the next moment, but still staring at each other.

Or neither.

It was just two silent, quiet eyes looking at each other, drawn into a long and thin line in the shadow of candles in the room.

Su Yan's eyes turned red little by little.Clenched fists were propped on the couch, and a handful of sunspots surrounded by Bai Zi were hard on his palms and bones, and he didn't feel any pain.

He opened his mouth, and was the first to make a voice that was so indifferent to himself: "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered, and you came to surrender? You went to the wrong place. The lobby is outside. When you leave the prison, turn right and go straight."

Shen Qi originally thought that she would not dare to look at Su Yan more, but after the first glance, she knew that she had underestimated her greed and thirst.

His Adam's apple trembled, he took a deep breath with difficulty, and approached the figure in the bright light step by step.Standing a foot away from the bed, Shen Qi said: "Qinghe, I miss you."

The sky is far away and the earth is vast, and there are fireworks in the world, no one is you, and no one is not you.Shichiro, I miss you.

A scorching wave erupted in Su Yan's heart, suddenly overturned the chessboard, and the white and black pieces scattered all over the ground.Amidst the muffled sound of the chessboard falling to the ground, he gritted his teeth in resentment: "Shen! Qi! Where did you have the face to say that?! Did you walk for a day or two? It was almost a year! 310 seven days and nine hours, I They are all counted!

"Every morning when I wake up, I open my eyes and think, maybe Qilang will regret it when he thinks of me. If he comes back to Beijing to find me, will I take him down and ask him to blame, or will I let him go again? Every night when I close my eyes, I will regret it. She would think, Shen Qi is determined to be determined by eating the weight, that's all, he abandoned me, not me. Even if he is willing to turn back, I will never soften my heart! But when the sun rises the next day, it seems to be towards me. A ray of light came into the darkness of my heart again, and I thought spinelessly: Will Qilang regret it? If he returns to Beijing to find me——

"It's like this day after day 310 seven days! Until I dare not give any hope. I gradually miss you, and dream of you less and less at night. Ah Zhui accompanied me to heal my wounds, and Jincheng took me to fight , Altan picked me up from the battlefield with amnesia, and when I came back, He Lin took me to look at the lantern, and we looked for the emperor who glimpsed under the lantern together—look, I don’t have to be you!

"Shen Qi, listen carefully, I, Su Qinghe, have no shortage of men, and it is impossible for me to be single in this life!" Tears rolled down, Su Yan stubbornly and fiercely opened his eyes, staring at the flying fish suit in front of him, But in fact, he couldn't see anything clearly, bright and dark, blue and white, mixed into a mottled wave in his eyes.He choked up and said, "People like me can't let go of this or that. No one wants to let you down, and no one can make a choice. Who has the right to promise you a 'together for life'? Then I figured it out, you Let's go, no matter what the reason is, it's better to leave me, it's better not to meet me... But you're going to come back fucking!

"What did you come back for? Are you really here to surrender? Or is it just to tell me another outdated love story? I don't want to hear it, so get out! The person I'm waiting for is not you! Not you!"

Shen Qi didn't say a word, allowing him to vent.

Su Yan seemed to be exhausted by this long confession, panting exhaustedly.He bent his legs and hugged them with his arms, buried his face in his knees, and said in a soft voice: "Shen Qi, let's go."

Shen Qi took a few steps forward, and squatted down on the low edge of the couch: "I won't go. You don't have to be me, but I have to be you. Qinghe, we don't have much time left. Although you It doesn’t matter if you scold me or hate me, as long as I look at you and listen to your voice, I feel that all the hardships in this life have come to an end... But I still hope to bring your understanding and rekindled love in the end Huo left, I hope to hear you call 'Qilang' in the end."

"What do you mean 'there is not much time left'? What is the last! What is leaving!" Su Yan raised his face, and suddenly sneered again, "You are selling miserably again. Half-truth, half-false, three points are ten points, old routine , it worked for me every time before, but now my heart is harder than a rock, just see if it works!"

Shen Qi took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "I didn't sell myself this time - I was really miserable."

Even though Su Yan was full of resentment, he almost choked on the latter sentence.He gritted his teeth: "If you don't leave, I will yell and make your fate even worse than now!"

Shen Qi covered his mouth and pressed back on the bed: "Shh, don't yell, if you yell again, I will rape you first and then kill you."

—Stop trying to tease me with this one!As if nothing had happened?Su Yan really wanted to growl at him, but unfortunately his mouth was tightly covered, and he could only squeeze out a few short whimpers from between his fingers.

Shen Qi leaned on him, and whispered in his ear: "The chess player is sick and has been taking medicine."

—You are sick too!You can't stop the fucking medicine!

"He didn't dare to stop the medicine, because someone told him that his disease can't be cured, and he can only control it so that it doesn't attack. Once the medicine is stopped, the lung disease will gradually worsen, and eventually the body's vitality will be exhausted."

——Who told him that he doesn't look like a female Taoist priest in the world?It seems that you were also fooled by his pretending to be sick.

"You don't believe it?" Shen Qi put the jujube paper bag on the corner of the bed, took out a bamboo tube from her bosom, opened the lid, and poured out a big black pill, "This is the medicine he takes every day. But He is very careful in controlling the dose, taking only the size of a fingernail at a time."

As expected, Su Yan's attention was diverted, and he signaled the other party to let go of his palm, then picked up the big black pill and sniffed it, smelling a pungent sweet fishy smell. "What kind of medicine is this?" he asked.

Shen Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "I don't know, the formula for the pill was given by the great shaman Heiduo, and it is estimated that he also taught the way to cure diseases. All I know is that it is both medicine and poison."

"What poison?"

"It makes people who take it addicted to it and cannot extricate themselves, relying on it day by day. Once they stop using it, it will be a poison that will devour their hearts and make them feel so painful."

As Su Yan listened, he didn't know what he thought of, and his face became ugly like never before: "You can see what the person who was poisoned by this drug looked like?"

Shen Qi said: "I've seen it many times. It's always so hard to bear, begging for a pill, and even doing anything for it. Chess players use large doses of pills to control those powerful but unwilling Obedient people are used by him, for example..."

Su Yan grabbed his wrist, and his voice changed nervously: "——You?"

Shen Qi stared at him for a long time with an unpredictable expression, and finally chuckled suddenly: "I voluntarily betrayed the court and cooperated with him. Why did he give me this pill?"

Su Yan's soul fell to the ground after being yanked into mid-air, and he said with lingering fear: "It's a good thing you didn't eat it! You must never touch this ghost thing. If you touch it, you won't look like a human, and a ghost won't look like a ghost! King Ning dares to eat this!" There is probably no other way to suppress the disease. This thing is indeed both poison and medicine, but it is a double-edged sword with more toxicity than medicine. At our time... in my hometown, some top doctors were also studying this Something like that, I vaguely remember that they extracted anti-cancer ingredients from a less harmful species... No, you pretend I didn't say that. This thing is too fucking evil.

"According to what you said, King Ning controlled the dose he took very precisely, so he suppressed the unmentionable diseases these years. But who knows if he takes it for such a long time, and one day in the future, it will come back to him?" Su Yan felt shuddering when he thought about it, and threw the pill far away without hesitation, "Is there any more? Destroy them all!"

The pill rolled on the ground, rolled to the crack of the cell door, and disappeared.

Shen Qi withdrew her gaze from chasing it, her voice was a little dry: "I don't have it in my hand. This is a magic weapon of a chess player, and it will not be easily given to others. If you want to destroy it all, you have to ask him for the place of the Tibetan medicine, together with the formula destroyed together."

Su Yan resolutely said: "It must be destroyed together with the formula. I don't allow this ghost to appear in any corner of the Great Ming. If anyone uses it to harm others, they will be killed!"

Shen Qi nodded: "I listen to you."

After being frightened by such a big ups and downs, Su Yan found helplessly that the anger and malice in his heart had weakened a lot, and he couldn't even bring himself to drive people away.

——Shen Qi who came back from Yi Zhe's side could be said to have rolled in hell. Fortunately, he was not infected with the poison of eternal doom, so how could he have the heart to speak ill at each other again.

"Tell me, it's up to you to talk nonsense, even if you said that you didn't see King Ning's downfall and came back to surrender at the wind, but you were an undercover warrior from the beginning, I wouldn't take it if you heard it. Slap you. Make it up, ah."

So Shen Qi said with a serious face: "I was driven by Emperor Jing Long with a deal that I couldn't refuse. From the very beginning, I went to King Ning's side as an undercover warrior."

Su Yan raised his hand, wanting to slap him, he waved it in the air and let it fall down lazily, and said weakly: "Shen Qi, please do me a favor, be a good man who does everything alone, don't bring the emperor along."

Shen Qi showed a sneer mixed with malice and pleasure: "Do you think that your glorious emperor can't do such a thing, or do you think that none of what I said is true?"

Su Yan sighed: "I know that the emperor has been immersed in power for a long time, and his methods may not be brilliant; and you will not lie to me in order to avoid disadvantages and avoid punishment on such a major matter. Qilang , if there is really something hidden in it, if you don’t tell me now, when will you wait?”

Shen Qi was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: "The beginning of this matter has to start a long time ago."

"How early?"

"The chess player set up a game for me, making me mistakenly think that the person who followed me and saw me having a secret conversation with the 'gatekeeper' was Chu Yuan, so I took the lead in order to protect myself, but I was told by Emperor Jinglong that King Ning was dead. It is impossible to rebel if you are terminally ill, and you have to be held accountable for framing the prince, let me start."

Su Yan was stunned, and recalled: "The emperor arranged for me to hide behind the door of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and listen to how he deliberately tested you?"

Shen Qi nodded: "I entered the palace to face the saint, and later Lan Xi was ordered to summon you. It took half an hour."

"During this half hour, what have you conspired?"
