Before Yan Yushu returned to the Taihua Palace, the prince sent someone to call him to the East Palace.

The crown prince sat in the upper seat, smiling and consoling Yan Yushu, "The national teacher came back and was busy with government affairs alone. He didn't host a banquet. It was his negligence. Please don't mind the national teacher."

"Your Highness has worked hard for the country and shared your worries. How dare I complain." Yan Yushu looked at the prince's smiling face and felt that it was extremely dazzling. He smiled decently, "Your Highness, how do you think His Majesty treats you now?"

Yan Yushu's question made the crown prince feel alarmed, but he didn't show it on his face, "Father is not in good health now, let Gu supervise the country, Gu will certainly not live up to Father's expectations."

To live up to Emperor Zhaohe's expectations, that is, to send someone to Xiangyang to seek peace with Khitan, Yan Yushu almost laughed out loud.

But he did not forget his purpose, "His Royal Highness has not forgotten the jade book, and the prince chose the jade book at the beginning, so he certainly did not want to give up halfway."

Hearing what he said, the prince felt complacent, and the smile on his face became more obvious, "Gu naturally understands Yushu's thoughts."

Yan Yushu stood up, took a step forward, and said in a low voice, "The day I returned to Luoyang with His Highness King Chong, I met His Majesty together." Yan Yushu paused, "Your Majesty and His Highness King Chong have already sent people to investigate About General Liu and the Liu family."

The prince held the teacup secretly with his hand, almost crushing the teacup, and asked through gritted teeth, "Is that true?"

"Your Highness, Yushu didn't know much about the Liu family back then, but Yushu knew that it was you and the Li family who did it. Now that His Majesty has secretly sent someone to investigate, it can be seen that he has doubts about you, and now His Royal Highness is annihilating you. The water bandit stayed in Chang'an and burned the Khitan's food and grass, His Majesty now values ​​him very much, and what he said was dissatisfied with His Highness for sending people to Khitan to seek peace."

The prince raised his head and stared at Yan Yushu, "Chang'an City was broken, you and he returned to Luoyang after going through life and death together, so you don't want to see him?"

Yan Yushu smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty thinks that, based on his thoughts on the subject, if he can ascend to a high position in the future, the subject can still be a good teacher of the state? As a man, I don't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life."

The crown prince laughed, "What Yu Shu said is absolutely true."

"Your Highness, Your Majesty has now thought of abolishing the Crown Prince. Your Highness still has the Li family behind you. You must make plans early. Don't wait until your Majesty pulls out your ancestors like His Highness King Chong."

The light coming in from the window illuminated the prince's gloomy face, "Is there any good way for Yushu?"

Yan Yushu bowed down, "As long as Your Highness needs it, Yushu will go all out."

The prince sat in the same place without moving, Yan Yushu raised his eyes, looked at his expression, and smiled slightly.

Suspicious people are extraordinarily easy to fool.

In the middle of the night, when the night was dark and the wind was high, a red dress climbed over the high walls and green tiles, and landed in Concubine Yu's bedroom with ease.

At this time, Concubine Yu was wearing her pajamas, sitting on the bed and reading a book, when she saw Qu Zhuohua fell down, she immediately got up and saluted, "My lord..."

Qu Zhuohua always felt guilty when facing her, and he didn't know what to say when facing her, he just said, "The empress should come to see you tomorrow."

Concubine Yu knew that Qu Zhuohua would not come to see him if she didn't have something important to do, so she immediately asked, "Young Master, what do I need to say?"

"If she asks about His Majesty's current thoughts, you can only say that you can guess His Majesty's thoughts at will."

Concubine Yu looked at him affectionately with her beautiful eyes, "Just say so?"

"If you ask, does His Majesty have the intention of abolishing the Crown Prince, he said that His Majesty regards His Royal Highness King Chong very highly now, and you have never been in front of the people under his command on weekdays, so I don't know what you said."

Concubine Yu understood what he meant, and immediately bowed and said, "I know, I will definitely convey what you mean."

"En." Qu Zhuohua got up to leave, but was hurriedly stopped by Concubine Yu, "Master..."

Qu Zhuohua stopped in place, Concubine Yu didn't speak for a long time, Qu Zhuohua said softly, "After the Liu family is rehabilitated, I will take you out of the palace, you shouldn't be in this palace."

Concubine Yu smiled, her eyes were full of Qu Zhuohua's shadow, "Yun Shu chose the path himself, not the son's intention. You don't have to rush to leave every time you see me. Yun Shu doesn't want you to feel guilty."

Qu Zhuohua turned her back to her and didn't look back. Concubine Yu smiled, "Yun Shu grew up with the young master, and his heart has long been on the young master. After what happened in the Liu family, Yun Shu thought that the young master was not there either." Now, this is Yun Shu's own choice, to avenge the Liu family and the young master."

When Xia Yunshu was a teenager, he was as beautiful as an elf. Before Qu Zhuohua had time to distinguish whether he loved her or his younger sister, something happened to the Liu family. When he crawled out of the dead and defeated Qianji When the landlord in front of the building reorganized the Qianji Building and returned to Chang'an, Xia Yunshu was already the most beautiful woman in the world, and had already come into contact with Emperor Zhaohe.

He wanted to take her away, but it was too late.

"Yun Shu originally thought that the young master is not in this world, and he will never see him again in this life." Concubine Yu laughed until tears came to her eyes, "Now that the young master is still alive in this world, it is enough for Yun Shu."

The road she chose was the one she chose. She used to think that when Qu Zhuohua came back from the march, she could marry her. After hearing the news of Qu Zhuohua's death, she knew it was impossible. The Liu family sent her out. He will let the Liu family's revenge not be avenged, so that so many people in the Liu family can't die in vain.

She has fallen into hell, and she will try her best to drag those who harmed Liu's family into it as much as possible.

Qu Zhuohua stood there listening to her crying voice, his heart throbbing, until a pair of jade arms around his waist, Qu Zhuohua woke up like a dream.

"Don't move!" Concubine Yu hugged him from behind, "I know. The current son is Qu Zhuohua, and he is no longer the Liu Yuxuan I was waiting for. I love Liu Yuxuan, the Liu Yuxuan who is as bright as the morning sun, not this one. Qu Zhuohua got up from hell after losing all his beauty. So, Qu Zhuohua doesn’t have to feel guilty towards me.”

Qu Zhuohua could feel the tears on his back, and through his clothes, they were also very hot, "Yun Shu..."

"My lord, Yun Shu's life is enough, as long as my lord doesn't think that Yun Shu is only guilty of guilt, Yun Shu is enough." Concubine Yu pushed Qu Zhuohua away, "My lord, go back, Yun Shu should serve His Majesty."

After Concubine Yu finished speaking, she turned around to go around the screen to take a bath, Qu Zhuohua left from the window, and ran all the way to a place where there was no one in the forest, only then screamed silently.

If he had come back earlier, Xia Yunshu would not have faced her enemies like this. He might have married her because he thought she was his younger sister, and he would have found a lover for her. so.

On the second day of Mid-Autumn Festival, Yan Yushu asked Yan Xu to deliver mooncakes to Yan Yuping. Remembering Ji Muxian's invitation, he took Nanzhi out of the house.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the long street was brightly lit and full of people's voices. Yan Yushu and Nanzhi's master and servant were crowded close to each other, and many flowers and branches were thrown on their bodies.

"My lord, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the day when lovers meet, why are you going out to visit the Lantern Festival with His Highness King Chong?"

Nan Zhi's question stunned Yan Yushu for a moment. When Ji Muxian invited him, neither of them felt that something was wrong, but it made Nan Zhi ask something wrong.

"Let's go." It's all here, so we can't let Ji Muxian go.

There were too many people on the street, crowded, Yan Yushu pulled Nan Zhi, and finally squeezed to a booth, Yan Yushu saw that they were selling masks, so he took two, Nan Zhi and himself had one, Nan Zhi paid for it After paying the bill, the two put on their masks and left.

Fortunately, because of the masks, no flowers were thrown on the two of them.

The long streets and alleys were brightly lit, and there were people performing songs and dances on the flower boat. Yan Yushu took Nan Zhi to the bridge, and Nan Zhi was very excited, "Young master, Luoyang is so beautiful."

In fact, Chang'an is not worse than Luoyang, but Yan Yushu never took them out of Chang'an in previous years.

Yan Yushu stood on the bridge and took a few breaths before feeling much better in his chest.

"My lord, look at that oiran is so beautiful."

Yan Yushu smiled, "Can the oiran not be pretty?"

Nan Zhi was stupid, "But she dances beautifully."

Yan Yushu touched his head, took his hand and said, "Go..."

"Where are you going, my lord?"

The two walked a few steps, and Yan Yushu bumped into the arms of one of them, and an arm was immediately wrapped around his waist.

"Why is the national teacher so careless?"

Yan Yushu obviously felt the trembling of Nanzhi behind him, raised his hand and pushed away the person hugging him, "His Royal Highness Jin, please respect yourself."

Ji Muxuan let go of his hand with a grin, "There is no need for the national teacher to be angry. I just shot because I was afraid that I would fall to the national teacher. I am a person who loves fragrance and cherishes jade. Xiao Nanzhi, are you right?"

Nan Zhi's body trembled even more, he lowered his head, not daring to look up at King Jin.

He seemed to have returned to the days when he was brought back to Chang'an by Ji Muxuan in an instant, when he was crushed by Ji Muxuan and tore him apart without restraint.

Yan Yushu's expression turned cold, "Your Highness King Jin, you must have this ability to be able to sympathize with fragrance and jade."

"Yan Yushu!" Ji Muxuan took a step closer, grabbed Yan Yushu's arm, and rubbed his thumb on his arm wantonly, "Do you think there is no one who has the ability to pity you?"

Nan Zhi became anxious, grabbed Yan Yushu's arm and tried to pull it back from Ji Muxuan's hand, "You, don't touch my son."

"Don't touch me, my lord, are you going to touch you?" Ji Muxian raised his hand and grabbed Nan Zhi back into his arms, "At any rate, he was the one who slept with the king, but now, he actually helped him."

"You let me go!"

There were many people on the street, and many people had stopped to watch the dispute. Ji Muxuan sniffed Nan Zhi's neck, but stared straight at Yan Yushu, "Yushu, you are the national teacher. Don't you know what your father is thinking? I don't have the ability to take pity on you, who else has the ability?"

Yan Yushu looked at his hand holding his arm and Nan Zhi who was struggling in his arms, raised his hand and slapped the other hand, "Disrespect to the national teacher is disrespect to Dasheng, His Royal Highness King Jin, Do you want to confront me in front of His Majesty?"

Ji Muxuan was slapped by Yan Yushu and didn't recover for a long time. Yan Yushu pulled Nan Zhi over, "Nan Zhi is mine now, if you dare to touch him, I promise, it's not as simple as a slap .”

"Yan Yushu! I'm the prince, you dare to hit me!" Ji Muxuan was furious, and took a step forward, about to grab Yan Yushu's wrist, but Lou Yan blocked him.

"Yan Yushu, I want you to go around without food! You really think you can rely on the crown prince, and the emperor likes me."

How can there be such a stupid person, on the bustling streets, openly say such words, is it because he is afraid that he will not die fast enough?Faced with his anger, Yan Yushu just smiled, "Okay, I'll wait."

Ji Muxuan's face turned red with anger, Yan Yushu didn't bother to talk to him anymore, took Nan Zhi's hand and got off the bridge, leaving a group of people pointing at Ji Muxuan.

"Young master..." Nanzhi called him cautiously, "He is a prince after all, you really don't have to beat him for the sake of a slave."

Yan Yushu liked to rub Nanzhi's head very much, so he rubbed it again, and said with a smile, "He owes a beating and a lesson."

Nan Zhi nodded repeatedly, "Well, he is not a good person, but he is the prince, what if the emperor blames you?"

"will not."

The three of them walked towards the long street, when suddenly a flower fell on Yan Yushu, Yan Yushu looked up, and saw Ji Muxian wearing a mask, looking at him with a smile in front of him.

Yan Yushu raised his foot and ran over, causing Nan Zhi and Lou Yan behind him to look in disbelief.

"Young master, is he running?"

Lou Yan smiled, and led Nan Zhi to walk away.

Ji Muxian smiled and reached out to catch Yan Yushu who was running in front of her, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

Yan Yushu looked up at him, with a bit of aggrieved tone, "Your brother humiliated me in the street, what do you think should I do?"

"Ji Muxuan?" Ji Muxian grabbed his arm and looked up and down, "What's wrong with him?"

"He said he would take pity on me."

Ji Muxian smiled and took his hand and walked towards the river, his eyes were cold, "What do you want me to do?"

Yan Yushu didn't answer his words, "That depends on what His Highness King Chong is willing to do."

"Then teach him a lesson." Ji Muxian took Yan Yushu to buy two river lanterns, and gave one to Yan Yushu. The two of them wrote wishes with pen and paper at the hawker and put them inside.

Yan Yushu looked at the river lantern in his hand and asked him, "Do you still believe in these things?"

"You are the national teacher, don't you believe it?"

"I do not believe."

Ji Muxian was a little surprised, "Then you still take the position of national teacher?"

"The position of the national teacher is convenient for me to do many things, but I don't believe in monsters and ghosts." Yan Yushu raised the river lantern in his hand, "This, I don't believe it even more."

"This is for peace of mind." Ji Muxian pressed his hand down, "If other people hear this, they will die of anger. The national teacher doesn't believe these things."

Yan Yushu didn't care about these things. He took over as the national teacher at the beginning because it was convenient to handle affairs. The national teacher is also the best person to resign, as long as he finds a successor.

"Don't tell others about this in the future." Ji Muxian led him to squat down by the river, "Put this in, and we'll go to the Marriage Tree in a while."

"En." Yan Yushu put his own river lantern into the river, and suddenly took Ji Muxian's river lantern, "What did you write?"

"Hey!" Ji Muxian was caught off guard, and got up to snatch it, but there were so many people by the river, fearing that Yan Yushu would be squeezed, and Yan Yushu had already taken out the note inside.

Ji Muxian stood there watching him.

Yan Yushu stared at the words on the note and froze in place: I hope Yan Yushu will stay healthy all his life and never suffer from illness again.
