How many buildings are in the mist

Xie Yan received an invitation card from Zhao Xun early in the morning, asking her to meet at the house at noon.For special things, Zhao Xun will definitely not look for him for romance, but it's useless to think about it, just go.She was on time at the gate of Zhao Mansion, but Zhao Xun himself came to greet her in person.

"Here you come? Let's go." Zhao Xun led her inside, and she also tactfully didn't ask any questions.There was no concubine Ji along the way, but at the corner at the end of the living room, she saw a few guards of the Habayashi, and understood what was going on.

"It's quite difficult to meet you, and it's not convenient for me to summon you in the palace." Feng Zihuan sat in the first seat, and when he saw her, there was no smile on his face.She knelt down and bowed immediately, Feng Zihuan interrupted: "Mianli, this is not in the palace. Sit down." Zhao Xun also just bent down to salute, and then went out without closing the door.Xie Yan listened, and even the two Habayashi guards walked away.

"I heard from Zizhang that you have many friends from all over the world. It seems that you met two on the way to Luling." Xie Yan replied, "Oh. You are in Zizhang's mansion, and I heard that you also made friends. A lot of effort, she said that you participated in all the things I told Zizhang, and as an internal historian, you are very competent." She thanked Feng Zihuan for his praise, and Feng Zihuan smiled, and that smile seemed so to her exhausted. "Aren't you an eloquent person? Why are you so silent today."

Xie Yan said: "Everything His Majesty said is true, and I have nothing to add."

"I heard Xuanji talk a lot about you when you were young. She said you were smart, mischievous, and clever. So I think, you probably understand why I asked you to come here to meet, right?"

Xie Yan understood that the three guesses in his mind were all one guess, "Your Majesty must be for the plan of turning over the land and releasing the servants."

"Well, I want you to do something else for me. The main resources I can use now are actually so few, and you know it very well. I can't force Cui Yi and Zizhang, and that would be nothing more than a waste of time. What's more Zizhang has you, Cui Yi can still go to Xie Hui, you four foxes, you have too many moves to deal with me, right?"

Xie Yan had nothing to say, and thought to himself why did you give me a seat just now?He just got up and went to the middle and knelt down, his forehead on the ground, and he didn't speak.Feng Zihuan sneered, "Don't do this, I didn't say anything, did I? I also want to thank you for showing up in time and saving Xuanji's life. Plus you saved Zizhang before, you really I have done a lot of merit, and I should give him another title."

Xie Yan thought to himself, if you have something to say, hurry up and stop playing with me.

"You don't have anything to say, eh?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I saved His Highness because of righteousness and love, and the same is true for saving Cui Xuanji, without asking for anything in return. Thanks to Your Majesty's wrong love, it is—"

"Afraid?" Feng Zihuan interrupted her, "I want you to do something else, I hope you won't be panicked."

"Your Majesty please decree."

She heard Feng Zihuan sighed softly, "I know you must agree that Xu Tu should move slowly on this matter. Of course, with your experience and wisdom, I believe you must understand what the current situation is like." .I hope you can use your friends from the rivers and lakes to help me do things that the court cannot do. You can treat them how they treat Xuanji."

Xie Yan's muscles tightened involuntarily, and then he straightened up, "Your Majesty, I believe that taking human life will only be counterproductive."

"I didn't say that we must kill them. How to make them completely subdue without causing bad consequences is something you have to think about. I will give you a list, which may be similar to the list in your heart. You go to execute it." That's it." Xie Yan replied yes, and Feng Zihuan added: "I hope you don't tell Zizhang about this matter. Although it is difficult for others, I believe you and you understand that if more people know about this matter, you will not There is no benefit. I hope you can do well, and I don’t want to say anything else, and I don’t want to use Zizhang to blackmail you, but everything else..."

Xie Yan kowtowed his head again, but Feng Zihuan said: "No, I won't do that either. Xie Yan, let's think of it as us working together for a better world, even if it's not so glorious."

Xie Yan looked up at her and saw that her face was exhausted.

"Kneel down." Feng Zihuan stood up and left.

Even Cui Yi and Feng Zizhang were not seen when the emperor stopped the court, and the documents were passed on on their behalf, and memorials were written if there was something to do.Government affairs will be handled as usual, and no participation will be made in the discussions.Even if Feng Zizhang could enter the palace, she would not be able to see her sister.She thought about entrusting Zhu Xianwan and Duan Qichen to create an opportunity to meet in the name of a family banquet, but she was afraid of stimulating Feng Zihuan's sensitive nerves, especially after Xie Yan finally told the truth about Feng Zihuan's private meeting with her, she completely dismissed the matter. idea.Xie Yan advised her: "Don't think about it, it's better to come up with a specific plan first, and get through this for a while. I also quickly think of a way to see if I can do something first. Your Majesty's idea is not unreasonable, but dangerous. .”

"It's more than just danger!" Feng Zizhang protested, Xie Yan hurriedly comforted him: "Yeah, then we have to control this danger, don't be afraid, I have many ideas, I can come up with..."

"Think about it quickly, otherwise all honest and loyal ministers will be consumed by my sister."

Xie Yan laughed that how could she be so easily consumed to death, and Cui Xuanji, who ignored her injuries at home, would also hear the news.

Even though Cui Xuanji was not good at walking, he was still worried about defense, and asked Wubao to send people passing by to deliver letters every day.Wubao is loyal and clever. He didn't tell Cui Xuanji the news at first because he wanted to let her recover from her injuries, and he didn't understand her various considerations.But after five days of being unable to hold back, one of his subordinates finally said that he had slipped his mouth.Cui Xuanji was shocked, and asked how the situation is now.The Habayashi guard who didn't think much about it said that Cui Xuan Jifang, who was on crutches, knew that Feng Zihuan was going his own way now.

As a result, that night, Cui Xuanji drove to the gate of the palace.Wearing an official uniform and leaning on crutches, he came down and said, I'll take a look at the situation in the palace.Wubao was originally on duty at the two imperial daughters, and rushed over immediately when he heard the news, and met Cui Xuanji who was going hard on the road.

"My lord!" My leopard understands everything immediately, of course I understand now.

"You go, I don't care." Cui Xuanji walked past him and patted him on the shoulder.

"My lord, your injury!"

Cui Xuanji turned around, "It doesn't matter to me, the foot injury heals quickly, don't worry, go."

Cui Xuanji approached the emperor's bedroom, and from a familiar angle, he saw Feng Zihuan sitting in the palace from afar, reading a book with the door open and the night breeze blowing.She leaned on crutches, walked slowly, and her footsteps were loud, Feng Zihuan of course spotted her.She also received Feng Zihuan's gaze, and she could read Feng Zihuan's worry, nervousness, anger, and sadness for a moment.

Because of that fleeting grief, she felt that everything she did was worth it.

"See Your Majesty."

"Why are you here? Didn't I tell you to rest at home, why did you suddenly enter the palace?" Feng Zihuan rushed down to help her, almost out of breath, helped her up, and said, "Who told you to come, huh?!"

Cui Xuanji felt pain from his wound, resisted the difficulty and replied: "No one, I want to come by myself. Your Majesty, it won't do us any good to stop the court for fifteen days."

She saw Feng Zihuan's eyes turn cold, "You came here to talk about this?"

"Yes. Your Majesty, even if we use it like this..." There was a pain in the wound on the left chest, which made her short of breath.Feng Zihuan frowned, but turned his eyes away.She saw this movement, sweetness and bitterness intertwined in her heart, and continued: "With such a cold treatment, the family will not give up voluntarily. Their... They are as stubborn as stone foundations. Your Majesty It can be approved first... My family and Xie's family will hand over, and then give a certain symbolic gift... Then we can persuade the Lu family, and even the Zhu family to join, the same collection, the same reward, gradually, most of the aristocratic families can Accepted. Otherwise, otherwise—"

For some reason, she couldn't breathe at all.

"Otherwise?" Feng Zihuan lowered his hands and said, "Otherwise what? Hmm? The family is going to support themselves? I want to take back what belongs to the royal family, what belongs to the common people in the world, what belongs to those poor slaves, and what else? Rewards?! Still want to trade?! This is not a deal, Xuan Ji, this can’t be a deal! I’ve done too many deals before, I won’t do it again, never again!”

"His Majesty……"

"Xuan Ji, do you still remember that during the civil and military competition, you once said that the most important thing for me to do now is to attack the arrogance and arrogance of the aristocratic people. Is the situation different now? Isn't it because they think so highly of themselves? , feel that you are more important than the country?! If I make any more concessions, this problem will never be resolved, forever!"

Cui Xuanji saw Feng Zihuan's face turned red and his chest heaved rapidly, thinking about what to say next to achieve his goal, but Feng Zihuan continued angrily: "You came today because you are a close servant and your duty is also a guard. I can't cure your crimes, and I can't cure your crimes! Go back, I don't want to hear any more, and you are not allowed to enter the palace until your wounds heal!" After finishing speaking, Feng Zihuan turned around and looked at you. Neither look.

Sure enough, she thought, you're not going to give me any chance.Well, I don't need to talk too much.

"If Your Majesty refuses to accept my suggestion and resume the court meeting, I will not leave."

Feng Zihuan turned around and stared angrily, "What did you say?!" Cui Xuanji repeated, Feng Zihuan was almost too angry to speak.Cui Xuanji looked around, and said: "I will kneel outside the hall, so that it will not affect His Majesty's summoning of others." Then leaning on crutches, he came outside the hall and knelt on the stone bricks.

Feng Zihuan was trembling with anger, finally closed his eyes, turned around and left, and told the female officer to let Cui Xuanji kneel there, and no one was allowed to come near her, and at the same time, she would not see anyone tonight.

The palace door of Feng Zihuan's bedroom was slowly closed, and Cui Xuanji knelt there peacefully. She knew that Feng Zihuan could still see her from the second floor as long as she wanted to. Of course, Feng Zihuan should be very clear about her determination.She closed her eyes and listened to the sounds around her as she did when she was sitting in the mountains when she was a child.No footsteps, no seeming breath, no one.Just herself, wrestling with a heavy silence.

At the beginning, Feng Zihuan didn't believe her, he often tempted her, and always spoke with dangerous traps, but she could deal with it calmly.How do you cope?It seemed that at that time, he could really grasp the balance between truth and lies, and hide his sincerity between Feng Zihuan's heart and eyes.However, at some point, she lost this ability. She can only speak honestly and without reservation. Jiang Yuan once said to her, and Cui Yi also said the same. This is a kind of ignorant bravery.

But I value her much more than myself, and I value my love for her, and these qualities, more than myself.

When she opened her eyes, there was no moon in the sky, and she could not see the Milky Way temporarily.

There were footsteps in the distance.She didn't want to look at it at first, but when the footsteps approached, she turned around and found that it was Concubine Ning and Concubine Duan.

"Master Cui is here," Zhu Xianwan said, "Why bother?"

Seeing that she understood what she was doing, Cui Xuanji responded with a wry smile: "I'm an official...just trying to do my best."

"Master Cui, let's leave as soon as possible." Duan Qichen who was standing at the side said, "I didn't say that, Your Majesty is usually okay, but when he gets stubborn, he is more than just self-willed. Let it go if you don't want to be persuaded, don't force it. The king of Nankang has not come, so it is even more difficult for you to persuade him."

Cui Xuanji shook his head, "It's not a problem. What's more, some people can do this kind of thing, and some people can't. It's better for me to do it..."

As she spoke, she felt a sharp pain, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.Both Zhu Xianwan and Duan Qichen went up to help her.Duan Qichen hurriedly asked the maid to go back to get the balm that can relieve pain; Zhu Xianwan supported Cui Xuanji, and then ordered her maid to pass on an important matter to His Majesty, but the answer was the same: no, tonight Your Majesty will not see anyone, please come back, Your Majesty.

"You two ladies, please go back. In the eyes of Your Majesty, your majesty is already a person to be punished. The two ladies linger here. I am afraid that you will be involved. You should leave quickly." The two looked at each other and told Cui Xuanji After taking care of himself, he left helplessly.Cui Xuanji waited until the footsteps were heard, then raised his head to look up at the starry sky.

I can see the Milky Way, but there are clouds blocking it from time to time.The weather in early August started to get a little cooler at night.A gust of wind blew by, and she felt dizzy.In fact, it didn't take long, why couldn't I hold on?Cui Xuanji remembered that he met Xie Yi once when he was a child.At that time, the reputation of Xie Yishan's alchemy had spread far and wide.Aunt took her and Xie Yan to meet Xie Yi, Xie Yi said to Xie Yan the famous words of "No. When there is a disaster, if you can survive that test, there will be no danger later.

She didn't take this seriously, but now that she thought about it, it seemed to be true. The wound was painful, and she really wanted to eat away at her life bit by bit.

Then come on, she closed her eyes, compared to you, compared to your ideal and the world, I am not important.

Zihuan.

Feng Zihuan had actually been staying on the second floor where he could see Cui Xuanji.Although he was worried, he didn't want to pull Cui Xuanji up.It was precisely because of seeing Zhu Xianwan's actions that Feng Zihuan refused the so-called "negotiation on important matters".Cui Xuanji knelt there all night, Feng Zihuan watched her straighten from waist to slightly sway.Most of the time, Cui Xuanji's eyes were closed, and when he occasionally opened them to look at Feng Zihuan, Feng Zihuan would immediately look away.Even knowing that kneeling like this is not good for Cui Xuanji's leg injury, but...

No, can't give up.One is that Cui Xuanji doesn't know what's going on behind her back; It is what people who do great things should have.

Feng Zihuan let out a long sigh.

I don't blame you for this, even in my opinion, this is a kind of betrayal.No matter how much you advised before, you insisted on carrying out what I asked you to do, only this time, you chose to stand on the opposite side of me.I do not blame you.I am used to this kind of loneliness like a lone wolf, after all these years.It was you who changed all that.If you want to go, if you want to go, everything will return to the original state, shouldn't it be right?

At dawn, Feng Zihuan stepped out of the palace, ready to drive to the two imperial daughters to visit them. Today is their annual morning class accompanied by their mother.Coming out of the gate and passing by Cui Xuanji, Feng Zihuan felt his heart being torn apart bit by bit.

In fact, she regards Cui Xuanji as her treasure, but she doesn't think she is entitled to it.

The moment she walked by, Cui Xuanji fainted.When she heard the noise, she turned around quickly, just in time to hold Cui Xuanji in her arms—and Cui Xuanji's face turned pale.

"Xuan Ji!"
