such as Yue Linyuan

When Si Yuanting finished talking about those things, he was applying medicine to Chu Yuezhi's back.

His voice was cold, the blood on his face faded and then revealed the world-weary gloom again, but the movements of his hands were extremely gentle, with every move overflowing with care and cherishment, such a huge contrast made him There was a strange sense of separation in his body, and the gentleness that outsiders could not get ripped apart the black mist covering his body, creating a crack for peeking at the light.

The impermanent past seemed unable to corrode his present any longer.

Chu Yuezhi was lying on the bed, his thoughts turned very fast, he turned his head to look at Si Yuanting, and said, "The soup and medicine are all right, so what did you do when you played the piano for him?"

Lifting his eyelids, Si Yuanting showed undisguised disgust in his eyes: "I don't know how to play the piano for him, he is not worthy."

In today's world, he is probably the only one who dares to dislike the emperor so blatantly.

Chu Yuezhi laughed immediately, and said, "Okay, he's not worthy. So, did you do something while playing the piano?"

Si Yuanting picked out the plaster from the medicine box and continued to apply the ointment to Chu Yuezhi. After a little silence, he continued: "The sound of the piano can take your soul, and when he was recuperating, I also gave him some psychological hints in words. He is vigilant, neither decoctions nor spices should be poisoned, Imperial Physician Lu will regularly give him acupuncture and moxibustion to soothe the nerves, maybe it is karma, he will let people seal your memory with gold needles, and I will ask Imperial Physician Lu to use acupuncture to confuse his mind."

"I didn't expect this." Chu Yuezhi rested his chin on his forearm, a little lost in thought.

Fighting is also very psychological. Sometimes the two armies confront each other, and the fight is actually the psychological endurance of the two coaches, and the tug-of-war is a test of the will and psychology of the soldiers.

Attacking the east and attacking the west and secretly keeping the positions in the dark are common strategies in the art of war, but Chu Yuezhi has never tried, or even thought about, using these different means to influence the psychology of a specific target and then manipulate them.

"You act openly and aboveboard, so naturally you won't understand these insidious tricks." Si Yuanting applied good medicine for Chu Yuezhi, got up and went to the washbasin beside him to wash his hands and dry them with a towel before turning around. Get on the couch and lie down.

Chu Yuezhi put on his pajamas again when Si Yuanting washed his hands, and when Si Yuanting got on the couch, he lay down on his chest, without any shame, without the consciousness that he was not the size he was when he was a child, he stretched out his hand to touch his chest. Looking at Si Yuanting's inconspicuous Adam's apple, he said: "You don't have to think too well of me. Think about it carefully, it was because I was too unguarded against Chu Yuelei before that made you suffer so much, and it's not as good as me Be more mindful, although you won't use those tricks to harm others, but at least you can protect yourself."

Lifting the hem of Chu Yuezhi's pajamas and poking in, Si Yuanting caressed the skin on Chu Yuezhi's back that felt different from other parts due to the extra ink, and said, "If you have more eyes, It's not the Chu Qi in my heart."

Thin lips pursed lightly, Chu Yuezhi only felt that Si Yuanting's words sounded too bitter, his body was still in pain, and he didn't bother to move when he lay on Si Yuanting's body, and let Si Yuanting caress the thorn ink, his voice was silent Feeling a little soft, he said: "You come to me every night now, but I can see that you are not afraid of being discovered. Although Chu Yuelei is fatuous, it is impossible for you to let you be so presumptuous."

"As far as he is concerned, I am the only reliable person left, and he has no one available to him. I asked him to put his eyes on Dongchang, but it was just a show. He saved it and called me to serve him again. Sleeping heart, I'm presumptuous right now, so I'll give him an excuse." Si Yuanting explained, seeing how Chu Yuezhi was trying to talk to him, he felt a little cute when he was young, and said: "I won't sleep with him anymore, even if you are called into the palace, you can rest assured."

Chu Yuezhi didn't know what Si Yuanting was planning, but since Si Yuanting didn't say it clearly, it wasn't time to tell him, so he pondered for a while and asked, "How long will the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry still have to investigate?"

"It's not over so quickly, and there are still some things that haven't been dug out." Si Yuanting said. These days, because of the cases of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry, people in the court are in a state of panic, and they are all worried that it will happen to him at some point. There are more and more papers, he already has heavy official duties, and now there are many papers to approve besides the trial during the day. Although the ministers are afraid of him, they do not hesitate to test their words every morning. There were a lot of people coming and going, and he had to use his mind to deal with it. No matter how impatient he was, he still had to talk about some scenes. The reason why he came to Prince An's mansion at night was not to send someone to pick up Chu Yuezhi. Dugong's Mansion, in fact, is more or less intended to be clean.

Chu Yuezhi was the one who didn't like being hypocritical and subservient to others, but it was hard for Si Yuanting to spend his days like this all the time, and he could still do it without leaking.

"Then if I tell you that I want to attack the household department, do you think I'm making trouble?" Chu Yuezhi asked.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is under the control of Si Yuanting. It is mainly responsible for the national land, taxes, household registration, military supplies, salaries, food and payment, and financial revenue and expenditure. In addition to money and food, he is also in charge of some general affairs of other yamen, and the responsibilities often overlap.The Minister of the Ministry of Households is in charge of government orders on household registration, taxation and service throughout the country, and the minister is in charge of statistical work such as auditing publications, taxation and service collection.If you want to talk about greed, I am afraid that there is no official department that is more greedy and more convenient than the Ministry of Households.

He had already considered taking action against the Ministry of Households before, but at that time he had not yet recovered his memory, and he had many taboos and scruples about Si Yuanting, so he really didn't dare to act rashly, and after careful consideration, he decided to attack the Ministry of Rites first.

And now, since they are on the same boat, they can naturally avoid some of the previous worries, but he still dare not act without authorization, firstly, he is afraid of adding to Si Yuanting's burden, and secondly, he is afraid of disrupting Si Yuanting's plan. plan.

"Oh?" Si Yuanting naturally didn't think that Chu Yuezhi was making trouble, he pinched Chu Yuezhi's side with great interest, which drew a low hum, and said, "You can do whatever you want. The Ministry of Household Affairs has gained a lot of greed over the years, and although I haven’t dealt with it due to other reasons, it’s time now.”

"The Ministry of Accounting is under your control. I was worried that you would be implicated if I took action against the Ministry of Accounting. But after thinking about it, I realized that you would definitely pick yourself up. Besides, you are not a greedy person. Now I know Li's case." Instead of rectifying me, you have dragged both the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Industry into troubled waters. You are merciless in rectifying it. I am also afraid that Chu Yuelei will blame you for this, so I think now is also the right time to take the Ministry of Households as well. Make it clear, I will leave a little trace, and if the Ministry of Finance can reshuffle the cards at that time, it can also alleviate Chu Yuelei's suspicion of you." Chu Yuezhi also brought this matter up with Si Yuanting after careful consideration, and the Ministry of Accounting Mistakes will inevitably implicate the supervisor of ceremonies. As the eunuch of the palm seal and the admiral of the East Factory, Si Yuanting will inevitably be questioned about the failure of supervision even if there is no corruption and bribery.On the other hand, Chu Yuelei is suspicious and selfish, and never wants to hurt his own interests. Once Chu Yuezhi takes action against the household department, Chu Yuelei will not have any doubts about the relationship between Si Yuanting and Chu Yuezhi in a short time After all, in Chu Yuelei's view, if Chu Yuezhi recovered his memory, he would definitely not do anything to hurt Si Yuanting.

"It's not enough for you to enter the East Factory once, and you want to burn yourself again?" Si Yuanting understood Chu Yuezhi's meaning, but he didn't want him to put himself in danger again, "This time it was you who took the initiative to take the initiative. Bait, if there is a problem with the household department and you leave traces, even if Chu Yuelei is not as shrewd as before, he will realize that you are about to reverse."

"Even if I set myself on fire, I will only be burned to death by you, and will not die in the hands of others." Chu Yuezhi finished speaking pointingly, and rested his head on Si Yuanting's shoulder, "I don't care what he thinks Anyway, he has suspected me for many years, so what if his suspicions are confirmed, as long as I can protect you, that's enough."

Embracing Chu Yuezhi's shoulders, Si Yuan paused before saying, "Speak out loud."

At first glance, Chu Yuezhi heard a faintly annoyed voice at his stubbornness, but there was a hint of a hidden smile in it.

"I, Chu Yuezhi's man, can't be touched by anyone but me." Chu Yuezhi closed his eyes wearily, obviously because he was too tired, his voice was low and hoarse, and there was no momentum at all, but those words fell on Si Yuanting There was an extremely heavy weight in his ears, "If you dare to touch you, you will have to pay the price."

Lied to him for so many years, and made Si Yuanting suffer so much torture and pain for no reason. Chu Yuelei was unkind, so don't blame him for being unrighteous now.

The most is the ruthless emperor's family. Now that he has seen Chu Yuelei's true face, he will never care about the family relationship that did not exist from the beginning. How did he gallop thousands of miles back to Beijing to help Chu Yuelei win the throne? , Now he wants to let Chu Yuelei see clearly again that the military power has always been in his hands, and as long as he wants, the throne will also become his property.

The throne has never allowed incompetent people to sit on it for a long time, and it is enough for him to let Chu Yuelei sit on it for so many years.

Si Yuanting hugged Chu Yuezhi quietly and closed his eyes together. Every day and night in the past was so long. Chu Yuelei became insane day by day because of his calculations that he couldn't sleep at night, but why wasn't he?However, today is not what it used to be, and he finally has a place to live again. Chu Yuezhi not only gave him all his love, but also put on the most indestructible armor in the world for him.

Yinshi was about to enter the palace to wait for the morning court. Si Yuanting slept with Chu Yuezhi for less than two hours before getting up. When he woke up, Chu Yuezhi woke up from his sleep just as soon as he left his arms, and subconsciously grabbed Si Yuan. Ting hand, humming softly, unwilling to let him go.

Si Yuanting hadn't seen Chu Yuezhi acting like this for a long time. He leaned over the bed and kissed the corner of Chu Yuezhi's lips, coaxing him softly like when he was young: "Hey, sleep well, I'll be back when I'm done."

"...Well...then you must come back...Chu Qi is waiting for you..." Chu Yuezhi bit Si Yuanting's lips in a daze, and after a while, he finally let go reluctantly hand.

In fact, Si Yuanting didn't want to leave either. He and Chu Yuezhi had only had real physical strength a few hours ago. Now is the time when he wants to hug him tightly and refuses to let go, but he can't help himself. If there was any further delay, it would be too late, so he could only cover Chu Yuezhi with the quilt, stroked Chu Yuezhi's sleeping face who was defenseless against him, and then quietly exited the dormitory and left in a hurry.
