Chapter 44 44. Expediency

The scorching sun hung high, the cicadas were singing loudly, and the half-demon was in a daze.Twilight accompanied Zhou Yu in the study room. At the beginning, he grinded ink and spread paper decently, but after a while, he became confused with his hands on his head. He accidentally fell asleep several times, and his head almost fell into Brush wash.Seeing him dozing off, Zhou Ji shook his head helplessly, and said softly, "Did you go on duty last night? If you are really sleepy, just sleep for a while."

"En." Twilight replied in a daze, and actually fell asleep on the desk.

Zhou Yu was amused by his honesty, and for a moment he felt narrow-minded, and painted a cat's beard on Twilight's face with thick ink, but Twilight didn't notice it.Seeing this, Zhou Yu simply added the word "king" on his forehead, and when he was holding back a smile, he heard the door knock and walked in alone.Afraid of waking up Twilight, Zhou Ji hurriedly pressed his lips to make a silent gesture to the person who came, only to see that it was Princess Xun Shen who came in.

The sound of the door still woke up Twilight, Twilight woke up in a jerk, seeing that it was Shen Shi, she was terrified, and hurriedly fell to the ground pale in fright.

"Hey! Hey!" Zhou Ji wanted to stop Twilight but was unable to do so in time. Shen Shi took a serious look at Twilight's colorful face. face, and asked displeasedly, "What are you doing here?"

"Your Highness is really in a good mood." Seeing the ink stains on Twilight's face, Shen was immediately upset, and said eccentrically, "Hungry Ghost Festival will be in a few days, and His Highness still has time to flirt with you."

"What a surprise." Zhou Yu also snapped back angrily, "I didn't expect to hear the word 'flirting' from the mouth of the dignified princess. It seems that the lecture hall of Duke Huaiping's mansion is really knowledgeable about the past and the present, covering a wide range of subjects." I don't know if it's because of shame or anger, Shen's face turned red instantly, but Zhou Ji didn't feel any pity at all, and said directly angrily, "Get out."

Chen was choked enough, and took a quick breath, her tone of anger was not small: "I'm here to discuss with His Highness about the Hungry Ghost Festival."

"I don't want to hear it." Zhou Yu's answer had no leeway at all, "I'm going to annoy this king even if there is a mess in the inner court, so is it just for nothing to support you and Wu Chang'an?" Zhou Kai didn't care about Shen Shi at all. After speaking, he added another knife, "Get out!"

Shen was so angry that she was shaking all over, but she didn't dare to really mess with Zhou Yu, she gave Mu Hui a deadly look, turned around and went out.

"I'm looking for trouble, I'm sick!" Zhou Yu dropped this sentence after Shen Shi went out.

But Twilight was so stared that he had an ominous premonition, raised his cat face, and asked hesitantly, "Why does Your Highness talk to the princess like this?"

Zhou Yu almost laughed out loud, and the emotions disturbed by Shen's immediately dissipated, and he didn't pursue Mu Hui's rude question, and asked in a good mood: "What's wrong with this?"

"I always feel that the princess is a bit pitiful." Twilight said puzzled, "The princess did nothing wrong."

"There are still mistakes." Zhou Yu said meaningfully, "She has overstepped." Seeing that the confusion on Twilight's face was even worse, Zhou Ji patiently explained, "Although the father and emperor pointed out the marriage, if she keeps her own place, she will It's not that the king can't treat each other with courtesy, and it's not that he can't pamper her, but she wants something she shouldn't think about."

"what?"

Zhou Yu chuckled and spit out two words: "Imperial power."

Twilight suddenly opened her mouth wide, and it took a long time to get close to Zhou Yu's side, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that His Royal Highness's imperial power can't satisfy her?"

Zhou Yu didn't answer, but only wrote a "Liang" character on the paper, saying: "The current court belongs to these people. If Duke Huaiping wants to share the benefits equally, he can only rely on me."

"why?"

"There are many reasons." Zhou Yu was very patient today, and immediately explained the intricate relationship between court and court to Mu Hui, "Duke Huaiping's clan sister has been in the palace for many years, and the Shen clan originally expected her to be a mother and a son. Knowing that for so many years, he has never been born, and he has not been able to win the Sacred Heart. He has been stepped on by Liang Zhaoyi, and even the Shen family in the court is also controlled by the Liang family. Duke Huaiping and Liang Situ are both hereditary grand dukes. I couldn’t swallow this breath, so I pinned my hopes on it.”

"Then what do they want His Highness to do for them?" Twilight seemed to understand, "What can they do for His Highness?"

"Bring more power to them, so that they can better control the court, and in turn, I will have these."

"Your Highness can control the court?" Twilight actually revealed a hint of joy, "Then your Highness can do whatever he wants, isn't it good?"

"Not good." Zhou Ji shook his head and said in a low voice, "There is only one emperor in this world, and only he can have the supreme power. Everyone must abide by his imperial power. Anyone who goes too far will be in trouble." , such as the Yang family." Before Zhou Ji mentioned his mother clan, Twilight opened his mouth in shock again, but Zhou Ji smiled and said, "Do you know why I am so perverse, but Father Emperor can always Tolerate me so far?"

"Because the emperor loves His Highness."

"Since ancient times, the heavenly family has been ruthless, and there are only monarchs and ministers. There is no such thing as a father who is kind and son filial." There is deep sorrow in Zhou's words, "The reason why the father tolerated me is because the father knows that I am neither party nor selfish, and I have a bad temper. , has a bad relationship with the whole court, so he doesn't care about my misdemeanors, because no matter how I act as a monster, his imperial power will not be endangered."

"So that's how it is." Twilight suddenly realized, "Then what His Highness did before was just to deceive people? Your Highness is really clever."

"Gao Ming, you're tall!" Zhou Yu was very speechless and Twilight praised him for no reason, and said with a wry smile, "It's just an expedient measure that can't be helped. After all, I was a small person at that time, so I could only protect myself like this .”

"Oh..." Twilight suddenly felt a little distressed, and looked at Zhou Kai with a very gentle expression, "Thanks for your hard work, Your Highness."

"It's not hard." Zhou Yu had a cynical look, "Later I found out that living like this is actually very enjoyable."

"That's it, as long as His Highness thinks it's good." Seeing that Zhou Ji didn't feel sad about the past, Twilight smiled at Zhou Ji reassuringly, and said, "Then His Highness will continue to be like this from now on."

"It can't be done." Looking at Twilight's messy smiling face, Zhou Yu couldn't help reaching out and flicking his forehead, and then said seriously, "That's what I did when I didn't know what to do. At that time, I was safe at home alone. Peace, but not now. I have things to weigh and consider, and I have more people who depend on me to survive, and I have to think carefully about every step I take." Seeing that Twilight seemed to be frightened by his words, Zhou Ji said again He patted his forehead, and said with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you so scared? Didn't Mu Hui Chang Sui promise to fight against the enemy with this king, and also promised to protect him?"

"Yes, I will definitely protect His Highness." Twilight touched her forehead and said with a little shame, "I just can't keep up with His Highness's thinking, and I don't understand it very well."

"Tch!" Zhou Ji let out a disgusted voice and cursed, "Little fool!"

Twilight laughed at Zhou Ji, teasing Zhou Ji to laugh too.In the middle of laughing, the twilight stopped suddenly, turned over and jumped out of the window, turned around in the air before landing, tapped the pillars and flew up to the roof.

Zhou Yu was shocked, thinking that there was an assassin in broad daylight, and just about to call out to the guards in the palace, he saw that Twilight turned over again and had already turned over from the roof.

"What's going on?" Zhou Ji asked hurriedly.

"A sparrowhawk is flying." Twilight took out her hand from behind, holding a struggling sparrowhawk in her hand.

When Zhou Yu saw it, he was only stunned for a moment, and immediately closed the window with his hands back, before asking again: "But someone is watching the palace?"

"Probably not." Twilight lifted the sparrowhawk to her eyes, stared at the sparrowhawk's small round eyes, and then lowered her voice and said to Zhou Yu after a long time, "It's the sparrowhawk headed by Lord Yangming."

"Yang Xuan?" Zhou Ji was very surprised. Seeing Twilight nod his head affirmatively, he asked again, "How are you sure it's his Sparrowhawk?"

"Mr. Yangming passed on a consonance to His Royal Highness." Mu Hui repeated word by word, "Twilight turned to gatha. There are many eyeliners in the court, so you must not send letters privately. If you want to do anything, you can do it." You can do it freely, and I will definitely help you secretly. As for Lord Qixian, you don't have to pay too much attention to it, and don't make contact anymore. If you have anything about the World Spirit Palace and the half-demon, you can find the right time to ask Su Sheng, Wang Ji'er must be vigilant, do everything according to his ability, and protect himself."

Zhou Yu was silent for a long time after hearing this, and Fang said to Twilight: "I know." After a short pause, he pointed to Sparrow Eagle and asked, "Is there any possibility of leaking the consonance from this transmission?"

"No." Twilight said affirmatively, "Consonance is a monologue that everyone knows only for themselves, and only the recipients confirmed by the sender can read it."

"That's good." Zhou Yu nodded, and said, "Even so, we can't keep him in the residence of Prince Xun."

"Understood." Twilight assured Zhou Ji, "Twilight will be dealt with right away, absolutely no trace will be left." As he spoke, he pulled out the saber at his waist.

"Wait." Zhou Ji looked at Twilight in disbelief and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Get rid of it." Twilight was puzzled, "Didn't Lord Yangming also tell His Highness to be vigilant? Keeping this thing is just a trick."

"That's not enough to kill you, this thing may be very useful." Zhou Ji pondered for a while, and with a calculation in his heart, he ordered, "You go and give it to Rui'er, and say that I specially asked uncle coming."

"Ah?" Twilight was completely confused, "Then, isn't that just exposure?"

"It's okay, I have my own intentions, and if I guess wrong, I have my own countermeasures, you just send it." Zhou Yu warned again, "Be careful when you send it, don't let others find out, understand Yet?"

"Understood, don't worry, Your Highness." Twilight nodded, turned around and was about to go out.

"Come back." Zhou Ji stopped him.

"What orders does Your Highness have?" Twilight asked respectfully.

"That..." Zhou Ji suppressed a smile and said, "Wash your face first."

Twilight showed a puzzled expression.
