Xie Yan looked up at Shen Ziyuan, smiled and asked him to come in and sit down, looked him up from head to toe, and wondered: "Daoist Shen took some kind of panacea, so he won't grow old? I knew there was still a lot to do in cultivating the Tao." With this kind of benefit, I should have worshiped you as my teacher back then and went to chant scriptures with you."

Knowing that he was joking, Shen Ziyuan sat across from him, saw that his desk was covered with pen and ink, and said, "Excuse me for practicing calligraphy?"

Before eating tremella and lotus seed soup, I did write a few strokes in my spare time, but maybe I hadn’t used a brush for many years, and I learned irregular strokes when I was stupid, so that the original handwriting was a bit messy, empty and invisible, and the spirit is harmonious. The bones are almost gone.

Xie Yan pressed a few pieces of waste paper under the bowl, lifted the teapot and poured him a cup of tea: "It's not practicing calligraphy, it's just a few random strokes."

Shen Ziyuan said: "Master Hou is brilliant and enlightened, but now he is just recovering from a serious illness, and his wrists lack some strength. When his body recovers, he will be able to race dragons and snakes, surpassing the past and the present."

Hearing that there was something in his words, Xie Yan not only glanced at him: "The Taoist priest came to see me, didn't he come to discuss calligraphy with me?"

Shen Ziyuan held the teacup, paused, and said bluntly: "I won't go around when talking to Master Hou. This time, Master Hou was able to detoxify and wake up, which is a great fortune. I know that I have committed a lot of crimes. After returning to Beijing this time, So I spent my whole life studying scriptures and history, and repairing ancient books... But I still have a knot in my heart, and I want to ask Lord Hou to solve my doubts."

Xie Yan scooped up the lotus seed soup with a small spoon, pursed his lips and smiled: "You want to know, since when did I know about your prophecy?"

Shen Ziyuan was startled, and lowered his head in shame.

Xie Yan held his chin and said, "You were summoned by the late Emperor that night, and I was in the hall."

Shen Ziyuan was startled: "You..."

Xie Yan smiled and said: "It's not as complicated as you think. You know, the late empress has always loved me. That night, I was entrusted by the empress to go to the royal study to give the late emperor her own stewed medicinal food. But after I went, there was no one in the palace. Waiting and waiting, I accidentally fell asleep on the chair behind the screen. Perhaps the guards were on duty suddenly, and forgot that I was still in the hall, so they didn't mention it to the first emperor. It was just a coincidence ..." He stirred the sweet soup in the bowl, and said slowly, "When I woke up, I heard you guys were already talking."

Shen Ziyuan was silent for a moment, and when he thought of something, his back shivered: "Then you later..."

Xie Yan sighed: "I know this matter is secret, I shouldn't listen, so I can only pretend to be asleep and continue to close my eyes. But the first emperor was suspicious. When he found me behind the screen, he was worried that I would hear it. He thought about strangling me to death. " He raised his hand and compared it on his neck, "But Nanye was not dead at that time, he may have hesitated because of the peace between the two countries, but in the end he didn't attack me. After testing me many times, he was sure that I didn't After I woke up, I ordered the guards to send me back to the Queen’s Palace. After that, I tried a few times to make sure I didn’t hear it, so I gave up on it.”

Shen Ziyuan was terrified when he heard this, so he couldn't help sitting up straight, and gasping, he said: "This is really dangerous. My one prediction almost ruined His Highness's life, if it kills you again... It's okay, it's okay. To Your Highness Fifth..."

Xie Yan sneered in a low voice: "How is it possible? You are so young, what can you understand?"

"I just discovered that the first emperor often punished Wulang for no reason. He was always three points harsher to him than to others. Later, he directly showed his dislike for him... I realized in a daze that your sentence What the prophecy will mean."

"At first, I felt that he was very pitiful. He was obviously in his own family, but his father didn't love his mother or his mother. Other princes also took pleasure in bullying him. How is it different from me... I feel that I feel the same as him, see If he doesn't go down, he often speaks for him and helps him. But you also know that he is lonely, and everyone seems to have bad intentions. He never listens to me, thinking that I have ulterior motives. Later..." Xie Yan smiled, "I don't know why, I've been fighting with him for many years...Maybe it's just the beginning of love, and there is no one around me who is worthy of me, so I pick and choose, and he's just okay...I just fell in love with him gone."

Shen Ziyuan was dumb: "It's all my fault, otherwise you would all be fine."

Xie Yan looked at the floating lotus seeds in the bowl and thought for a while, then shook his head with a smile, as if disapproving, but didn't say much.After a while, he cleared his cough and asked curiously, "How do you know that I treat him..."

Shen Ziyuan smiled indifferently: "Every year after the Shangyuan Festival, the late emperor would ask the princes to go to the Shuangyao Palace in turn to copy the scriptures and pray for the ancestors for seven days. You are not the prince of Dayu, so you don't have to go. But every year on the Shangyuan Festival However, you will always find all kinds of reasons to rely on me. The prince next to you sees you and always wants to make friends with you. Go over and copy with him. It’s cold at night, and you are afraid of the cold, so you push the charcoal stove towards him a little bit more.”

"Although I practice Taoism, I am not unreasonable. How can I not see what you are thinking?"

Xie Yan also smiled, and said to himself: "...Is it so obvious? But he is an idiot, but he didn't see it."

After a moment of silence, Shen Ziyuan asked: "Who fell into the water on the night of Tanhua Banquet..."

He suddenly thought of a possibility, "It won't be you—"

"What happened that night?" Xie Yan interrupted him, bent his eyes and looked at him, with an innocent face, stretched out his hand and pushed another cup of tea over, "Daoist Shen, there was nothing that night, no matter who asks later You, that was just an ordinary fall into the water."

Although he didn't say it clearly, Shen Ziyuan understood it very quickly. He was terrified and immediately covered his mouth, otherwise he was afraid that he would lose his mind and make a mistake, so he said for a while: "Yes, I understand, no matter who asks... "

It's a pity that it was too late, as soon as he finished speaking, someone "squeaked" on the outside window.

Shen Ziyuan was already guilty, and was taken aback by this sound: "... who!"

The figure disappeared in an instant.

Xie Yan sighed again, and murmured: "If he eavesdrops like this, I'm afraid he won't survive the second chapter in Gong Dou's book." He calmly picked up the lotus seed soup, "It's okay, Daoist Shen, it's just a mouse. .You go about your own business."

Seeing that he was tired, Shen Ziyuan didn't want to stay and talk, so he walked out awkwardly.

Xie Yan finished drinking the lotus seed soup, took the green tea to suppress the sweetness left between his teeth, and forced himself to write a few words. Later, he even lay down on the table and began to scribble... The big mouse also No more patronage.

For dinner, Xie Yan sat at the table and watched four or five small dishes, but only waited for Ji Shuxian to come, and said with a look of embarrassment: "Your Highness said... there are still some urgent business to be busy, let you eat first. Don't wait for him. "

"Oh." Xie Yan responded, and asked when Ji Shuxian was about to leave, "Then tell him, the room is dark."

The same trick, as long as it works well, Xie Yan is never afraid to use it more than once.

But this night, Xie Yan didn't wait for the person he wanted until the lanterns burned. He was so sleepy that he didn't have the strength to speak or go down to find something. passed.

Early the next morning, he was awakened by good words.

Good words come and go like moles, sorting things into boxes.

Seeing him waking up, he said in the same way: "Young master! You sleep again, the sun is drying your ass! Get up and wash up, pack the car in a while, and we are going back to Beijing!"

The sky was bright outside the window, and the attendants had already started to load things into the carriage, and there was a lot of noise.

Xie Yan didn't even open his eyes. He turned around and lay down on the pillow, covering his ears and trying to squint for a while. He suddenly felt something hit him. He stretched out his hand in front of him and looked at it, his eyes suddenly became clear. He suddenly sat up and said, "Where's Goro?"

Liang Yan thought for a while: "We met once in the morning and said that we were going to check what's missing in the carriage..."

Before he finished listening, Xie Yan put on his shoes and ran out.

Running outside the door, Liang Yan saw him pause suddenly, then quickly turned back to the table and took a roll of something, but went out again without seeing clearly.

When Xie Yan found the carriage that belonged to the two of them, he secretly lifted the curtain and saw Pei Jun leaning on a ball of soft cushions, as if he was trying to feel comfortable for him, holding a nine-chain ring in his hand. , like the one he played before, probably brought by good words.

He leaned on the door frame of the carriage and poked his head out, looking at it for a long time.

Pei Jun didn't sleep well, and he didn't know if he was going to have a headache, or because he was pouring cold water and the mountain wind blowing last night, he always felt depressed in his heart, and when he pressed his eyebrows uncomfortably, he opened his eyes and found Xie Yan who was probing his head, so he was startled.

But before he could speak, Xie Yan climbed up by himself, without saying a word, pinched his chin and kissed him.

Pei Jun was horrified, he was pinched inside and out, and then he turned his head while taking a breath, and then pushed him away a little: "Don't... I seem to have a cold, don't let it go to you."

"The kissing is over. It's too late to talk about it now." Xie Yan muttered, turned around and sat down in his arms, raised his left wrist for a moment, revealing a bracelet, "Which gentleman on Liang gave me this ?”

It was a bracelet intertwined with gold and red. The repaired little golden rooster wore gold beads and coral red beads alternately. The bracelet was made of dense red silk thread, and two round and snow-white east beads were adorned at the end. .

Pei Jun didn't answer, but his arms hugged him tighter. After a while, Xie Yan felt one shoulder sink, and it was him who pushed his forehead down, as if he was very tired.

The palms that hugged her were still hot even through the thin shirt. Xie Yan was afraid that he was really sick, so she couldn't help worrying, and said softly, "Is it really uncomfortable? I'll call Doctor Lin."

Before he left, he was bound.

Pei Jun was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "Xie Yan, I've been thinking about it all night, but I still feel uncomfortable. I want to know everything about that night, as well as your... falling into the water."

Xie Yan was caressing his arm, and smiled when he heard the words: "What's the point of mentioning it now..."

"I just want to hear it." Pei Jun eavesdropped on the conversation between Xie Yan and Shen Ziyuan yesterday, and he had actually heard the clues. He was absent-minded and bumped into the window coffin. Xie Yan naturally knew about it. This matter could have been revealed so tacitly. In the past, Pei Jun acted like he was masturbating himself. He closed his eyes all night and saw Xie Yan in the water, "Otherwise, in this life, there will be no peace alone."

...he wanted to hear it with his own ears.

"Don't let Gu go to investigate, I want to hear it from you."

Xie Yan was helpless.

Hugged him sideways.

"it is good."

Pei Jun took a deep breath.

"You know the previous things, then I'll talk about it later."

"The first emperor...your father was suspicious by nature and very greedy for imperial power." After a long time, Xie Yan let go of him, sighed, picked up Jiulianhuan and fiddled with it slowly, "The prophecy that Shen Ziyuan told you , has always made him feel like a thorn in the back, and as you get bigger and better, this feeling makes him sleepless."

"He thinks that he can live for many years, a long life, and he is afraid that if you can't wait to be in power, you will be like him back then... siblings, father and son against each other."

"So he," Xie Yan dialed a ring, and made a jingle, "he found some warlocks, witches and so on, in short, some ghosts and gods. I don't believe in these things, but I can't help him believe it. At first it was I want to give you some stumbling blocks, but you also know that such gods and ghosts can't work."

"Later, the First Prince figured out his thoughts somehow. He has some discernment." Xie Yan sneered, and couldn't help but tactfully praised his sweetheart, "I know that other brothers are not enough, when it comes to talents, Only you are a threat. Even if you didn't show your intention to seize the throne at that time, he would have regarded you as a thorn in his side."

"The eldest prince used some tricks to get a Sidi shaman, and through someone else's hand, he thought the name of the emperor's blessing was recommended to him." Xie Yan shook his head, "I didn't know about this at first, it was Tanhua. A few days before the banquet, I noticed that the eldest prince's people were sneaky, so I investigated secretly and found out about the shaman and their plan to poison you."

"But my actions almost aroused the suspicion of the first emperor and the eldest prince, so I couldn't continue to investigate what kind of poison it is." Speaking of this, Xie Yan felt regretful again, "If I knew that this poison would only make people stupid, I would still What are you standing in the way of, when you're stupid, I'll take you home, lie to you that you're my little wife, and let you do whatever you want with me..."

Pei Jun pinched him hard, blaming him for talking nonsense.

Xie Yan had no choice but to restrain himself: "Although I don't know what the poison is, I know that the late Emperor has just accepted your invitation to go to the northern border, and you will leave Beijing soon—if he wants to attack you, he can only do so at the Hua Tan Hua Banquet." .”

"But I found out too late. When I figured it all out, the banquet would start immediately. I didn't have time to make any preparations."

Xie Yan smiled: "I'm actually very happy for you that you can go to the northern border as you wish..."

Pei Jun's hands trembled: "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I also thought about warning you directly." Xie Yan said indifferently. Many years have passed, and the matter at that time has been like seeing flowers in a fog, and it is not so difficult to uncover, "But that will only aggravate your feelings. You will only be more dangerous due to the gap between them. I have conceived of many ways, and finally I think it is the safest way for you to let you pretend that nothing happened tonight and leave for the north as soon as possible."

Pei Jun closed his eyes: "So you went uncharacteristically that night, blocked my drink, kept trying to annoy me, and forced me to leave the banquet early..."

"Well. I don't know where he will put the poison, so I can only try to keep you away from the things at the banquet." In just this moment, Xie Yan has finished untying the Nine Links, and is resetting it backwards. While flipping, the jade stick collided with the gold beads on the wrist, "I need to do this seamlessly, so as not to make the late emperor suspicious."

"Fortunately, in the eyes of others, I was originally the kind of arrogant and stubborn temperament used by the queen, and everyone knew that you and I were at odds. That night I was a high school Tanhualang, and I was proud of myself. When I was drunk, I could act It's not surprising that all the ministers robbed you of your drinks and food, so angry that you left the banquet early." Xie Yan smiled, "I'm afraid the late emperor didn't realize that I did it on purpose, and probably hated me so much that my teeth itch. I still have to put on a show, I can only reprimand me twice for nonsense."

Pei Jun frowned.

"After you left in anger, I asked the person who was placed in your palace to hint to Ning Xi that you should leave Beijing as soon as possible, and it is best not to delay for a moment." Xie Yan praised, "You really did not disappoint me, you went well Clean and tidy."

"But it's not over after you left. I think the poison will definitely not attack quickly, otherwise it will not end well. So I guess, it is very likely that it will wait for you to drink it, and it will not attack until you reach the northern border... But now that you are not poisoned, if he knows that you left Beijing overnight, he will definitely attack you on your way to the north, or, when you arrive in the north, he will play tricks on the military orders."

"Of course I can't satisfy him. I believe you are very smart. Once you get a firm foothold in the north, you will soon develop your own strength. So I have to find a way to prevent him from attacking you, at least in a short period of time." cannot……"

"But I'm just a proton who has nothing, how can I keep a prince safe." Xie Yan said calmly, "I can't wait for the poison to happen. I have to create chaos in the palace while I'm still alive. The more chaos the better. I'll go By the koi lake, I was thinking of a... the best way to drag all the princes who are taking over the heirloom into the water, and put everyone in the palace at risk."

Xie Yan has nothing, the only thing he has is his life.

The best way for everyone in the palace to be in danger and to protect themselves is for the prince to have an accident.

It is tacit understanding that people are fighting openly and secretly, so no matter which prince has an accident, everyone else will be terrified and suspicious of each other.In the end, the palace was full of chaos and there was no peace.

The times were pressing, and under the circumstances, Xie Yan would be violent at some point, and he had no time or ability to murder a prince.

But fortunately, even if the accident happened not to the real prince, but to Xie Yan who "dresses and looks similar to the prince", this matter can still work.

In addition, after Xie Yan drowned, he went back and forth with such fanfare and shouted for injustice, everyone else would think that someone wanted to murder a certain prince and killed Xie Yan by mistake.

In order to balance the palaces, the emperor could only comfort the princes, let alone Pei Jun who was far to the north.

The result Xie Yan wanted came true.

So he is—

He had already drunk the poisoned wine, and he thought he was going to die of poison in a few days, but he still wanted to drain the last of his value.

"..."

Pei Jun couldn't bear to listen any longer, and the arms around Xie Yan kept trembling slightly.

Xie Yan had already put the last jade reel on the silver handle, and finished his speech.He breathed a sigh of relief, nestled safely in Pei Jun's arms, just pressed the other's trembling shoulders, and said calmly.

"So I jumped off myself."
