Food for the people

The people of Wenchuo sit at home, and the disaster comes from the sky.

A good daughter was sent to the palace, why did she become an assassin?

After all, it is related to the reputation of the Wen family, so the eunuch who delivered the decree did not say clearly, but only said that Wen Wanjun was angered by the Holy Spirit, and now he is being detained, waiting for him to go to the palace to give an explanation.

The eunuch just finished announcing the decree, and before Wen Chuo could react, his third-bedroom wife got the news first and almost fainted in shock. Supported by two maids, she rushed towards Wen Chuo's study crying.

Then, just a few moments later, Wen Chuo's mother, the old lady of the Wen family, also came tremblingly.

Several women cried and made noises in front of Wen Chuo, telling Wen Chuo to bring Wen Wanjun back no matter what he said.

"Your own daughter and granddaughter, don't you understand? Even if you lend her a few guts, she can't do things like offend the emperor. You women still ask me to ask the queen mother for mercy. Don't you see Come out, is this the emperor who tripped the empress dowager? The empress dowager wanted to avoid the emperor's sharp edge, and borrowed the gentleman to win over Yan Wang. Now it seems that Yan Wang is on the same side as the emperor. If you still want to keep your glory, just close your eyes. Stop crying a few words."

Mrs. Sanfang didn't understand these things. Hearing the dangers he said, she was even more frightened, but she didn't dare to cry anymore, she just said: "But what about Juner? Although the Wen family is not the Empress Dowager's family, they are somewhat related to the Empress Dowager. If you put it that way, isn't Jun'er more dangerous than good?"

Wen Chuo's face was heavy, and he said, "Let's talk about it after I go to the palace to have a look."

When Wen Chuo entered the palace, Lu Jincheng had already come out of the palace. He solved the Wen family once and for all, not only cleared the way for himself, but also sold a favor from his imperial brother. Brother is much clearer than him.

Since the current emperor ascended the throne, most of the courts, inside and outside, have been in his hands, only the mother's family of the empress dowager, who has been implicated in it, has never been able to cut off its roots. Although the empress dowager is the emperor's direct mother, she can't bear to see her mother's family being suppressed Withered, he has helped a lot in the open and in the dark, and has already made the emperor unhappy.

Now that he has made his mind on Lu Jincheng again, how could Lu Jincheng not know that even if he is willing to marry a wife, the Wen family's relatives cannot be married no matter what.

Lu Jincheng supported his head, let Meng Zhao pour himself a glass of wine, and said, "After today's business is over, the Queen Mother will probably give up all thoughts of finding a princess for me."

Meng Zhao glanced at him and said, "You should think about it. If you really do this, the emperor will be able to explain it to you, but you will have no way out."

Lu Jincheng lowered his eyes and smiled, took a sip of cold wine, but his eyes were very clear.

"What retreat do you want? I neither hold power nor seek rebellion. Apart from you and me, this courtier has nothing to do with it. I'm just an idle prince, and I don't get in the way of the emperor's brother. But the queen mother..."

Meng Zhao continued his words and said, "The Queen Mother is really confused."

Although the emperor is her direct son, his surname is Lu after all, and he shed the blood of the former emperor. No matter how kind he is, he cannot tolerate a foreign surname in power.

"Then are you sure you've thought it through?" Meng Zhao asked.

Thinking of Qiao Yu, Lu Jincheng's eyebrows warmed up, "Look at the intrigue in this palace, what's so good about it, I just like him the way he is now."

Meng Zhao smiled when he heard the words, but showed a look of sympathy: "Looking at Yang Kingdom for a hundred years, you are probably the prince with the least fighting spirit. You only love beauties and don't love Jiangshan."

Lu Jincheng gently put the cup on the table, "There's nothing to love about this country. I'm going to die after thinking about it. But you're wrong about one thing. I don't love the country, nor the beauties."

I only love someone who is in my heart.

After leaving Meng Zhao's Shangshu Mansion, the moonlight was already shining, and the alley was silent outside, except for the two lanterns outside the Shangshu Mansion, only a round of moon was still barely lit.

Meng Zhao sent Lu Jincheng out, and wanted someone to take him back, but he refused. Meng Zhao couldn't refuse, so he had to ask someone to give Sanqi a lantern for Sanqi to watch.

Lu Jincheng was surrounded by hidden guards all the year round, and Lu Jincheng himself was not good at martial arts, so he didn't have to worry about his safety.

It's just that Lu Jincheng drank a few more glasses today. Although he didn't feel drunk, he didn't seem to be fully awake. Meng Zhao repeatedly asked Sanqi, and Sanqi hurriedly responded. Looking back, his prince had already He took a step first, bid farewell to Meng Zhao and followed.

Lu Jincheng didn't go back to Prince Yan's mansion, and Sanqi followed behind him. He didn't know where he was going, but it could be seen that his prince was in a bad mood at the moment, and he didn't dare to speak too much, so he asked cautiously. He said, "Master, where are we going?"

Lu Jincheng was silent for a while, then said, "West Street."

Sanqiyi heard and said: "Oh, master, it's almost midnight now, Mr. Qiao and the others have been appointed to sleep for a long time, won't you be disturbing others if you go now?"

Lu Jincheng ignored him, turned a corner and walked forward.

Seeing him like this, Sanqi also knew that he was drunk, no matter what today, he had to see Mr. Qiao, so he didn't say much, and hurriedly followed.

The distance from Shangshufu on South Street to West Street is not far, and Lu Jincheng didn't order any carriages or horses, just walked in silence, Sanqi followed by holding a lantern, walked for half an hour, and finally Finally, they reached the gate of Qiao Yu's house.

The surroundings were pitch black, with no light at all, and Qiao Yu's yard was naturally also dark, and the surroundings were quiet.

Sanqi stood outside and whispered: "Master, look, the door is locked, it's been a while, let's go back first, come back tomorrow."

Lu Jincheng took a few steps forward, and without waiting for Sanqi to persuade him, he flipped his robe over the courtyard wall.

Sanqi: ...

Ouch, my lord, why are you still acting as a gentleman on Liangshang.

Sanqi doesn't have Lu Jincheng's ability to jump up, and he can't open the door, and he dare not walk away, so he just stands outside the door and waits, thinking that he will come back with him when his lord sees Young Master Qiao. palace.

Lu Jincheng's kung fu was good, the landing was silent, not even the tiles made a sound.

The yard was pitch black, and without the lantern in Sanqi's hand, he couldn't see anything clearly. Lu Jincheng used the moonlight to get used to it, and then walked to the door of Qiao Yu's room on the east side.

It is true that his head is a little dizzy at the moment, but he is not actually drunk, and he is very clear about what he is doing.

He knew he shouldn't have rushed in so rashly, but he wanted to see him so much now that he couldn't help it.

So he stood outside the door for a while, and finally reached out and pushed the door open.

The room was pitch black, and the moonlight fell on the bed through the window. Lu Jincheng saw the person lying on the bed sleeping soundly at a glance.

He walked over lightly, looked at Qiao Yu greedily under the moonlight, and breathed out slowly for a long time, feeling that the beast that had been roaring in his heart for a long time had finally calmed down.

Lu Jincheng moved closer, and stretched out his hand to touch Qiao Yu's face, but he paused when he was about to touch it, and didn't reach out again.

But before he retracted his hand, the breathing of the person lying on the bed changed suddenly, and he opened his eyes suddenly, then clasped his hand, turned over and pressed him onto the bed.

Lu Jincheng didn't move at all, allowing Qiao Yu to push him on the bed.

In fact, when Lu Jincheng opened the door, Qiao Yu had already heard it, and when he felt that the man had come to him, he had already thought about how to control the enemy and take him down.But he didn't expect it to be so smooth, not only was he grabbed his hand, but he didn't even struggle.

He fell asleep for a long time, opened his eyes suddenly, couldn't see anything clearly, pressed the person on the bed, blinked his eyes, and then realized that this person was the incomparably noble Prince Yan.

Qiao Yu: ...

"why you?"

Qiao Yu was startled, and subconsciously took off the strength from his hands, but now he was lying on the bed, and he could only support Lu Jincheng's sides if he didn't press his hands on Lu Jincheng's body. He got up, and pulled Lu Jincheng, pulling him up too.

Lu Jincheng smelled strongly of alcohol, Qiao Yu didn't hear his answer after speaking, and asked again, "Are you drunk?"

After speaking, he stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.

Lu Jincheng didn't respond at all, and just stared at him motionlessly.

Qiao Yu thought that he must be drunk, but he would not return to his palace when he was drunk, and it was scary to climb over the wall to come to him in the middle of the night... Qiao Yu couldn't help laughing, why is this person so childish.

"You can't find your way back, can you? Where's your boy? No one follows you? I'll take you back home."

Qiao Yu got up to get dressed, and then looked at her clothes. Fortunately, it's spring and it's not time to go naked/sleep, otherwise this scene might be a bit embarrassing.

He had just put on his clothes and before he could put them on, Lu Jincheng, who was silent for a while, finally spoke, "No need."

"Huh?" Qiao Yu turned to look at him.

"I'm not drunk, I just wanted to see you." Lu Jincheng said.

Qiao Yu didn't even bother to ask him what he meant, but he felt that something was wrong with his emotions.

"what happened?"

Lu Jincheng didn't say a word, because it was related to the royal family, he couldn't tell him that he had set up a trap, defiled the woman Qingbai, designed to bring down his own mother, just to show his position in front of his brother and seek a foothold.

He really envied Qiao Yu for having a younger brother who was like a brother.

"It's okay, don't move, just let me see."

What he said was very ambiguous, but Qiao Yu didn't care too much about it anymore. He had known Lu Jincheng for so long, and he thought it was rare to see him showing such a dejected look.

After thinking for a while, he put on his clothes and reached out to light the oil lamp on one side.

"I'll make you some sugar water to drink, so you can hangover."

Lu Jincheng didn't speak, nor did he refuse.

Qiao Yu got up, took the oil lamp and went to the kitchen to pour a cup of water warm on the brazier, mixed two spoons of hawthorn sauce, and passed it to Lu Jincheng when he returned to the room.She didn't even ask him what's the matter, why he wanted to drink away his worries, just took off his shoes and sat by the bed, watching him drink up the water in the glass one by one.

Neither of them said a word, they just sat opposite each other, and the atmosphere was not awkward at all.

Lu Jincheng drank a glass of water to moisten his throat, and then asked, "Don't ask me what happened?"

Qiao Yu snorted: "Aren't you hiding things from me?"

Lu Jincheng smiled, the expression on his face softened a lot, his eyes shone slightly under the moonlight, as clear as jewels.

"From today on, I can live more freely."

Qiao Yu didn't understand what he meant, but said very frankly, "Congratulations."

Lu Jincheng glanced at him meaningfully, and said, "Congratulations should indeed be made."

Qiao Yu yawned, and finally felt a little sleepy again. Regardless of what he meant, he asked, "Since you are not drunk, are you still going back to your Prince Yan's Mansion?"

Lu Jincheng said, "I don't want to go back."

Qiao Yu said without any hesitation: "Okay, then you can sleep here."

Lu Jincheng narrowed his eyes and his heart skipped a beat.

"What do you mean?"

"It means to let you sleep here, don't you want to go back? Just sleep here."

Lu Jincheng asked, "Really?"

Qiao Yu felt baffled: "Of course it's true, what did I lie to you for?"

Then he put on his clothes and put on his shoes.

"I'm leaving, if you need anything, you can tell me now."

Lu Jincheng: ...

"Where are you going?"

Qiao Yu was even more baffled, pointing to the next door: "Of course I went to Xiaoling to sleep, what time is it now? Do you think my bed can sleep two people?"

Lu Jincheng looked at the cramped bed, and felt for the first time that Qiao Yu's yard had something he didn't like.

Qiao Yu didn't know what he was thinking at all, and said good night to Humanity with a smile, and went to Qiaoling's side to sleep in a hurry.

Lu Jincheng sat in a daze for a long time, but he couldn't bear the sleepiness and lay down on Qiao Yu's bed with his clothes on. The drowsiness was overwhelming, but he fell asleep after a while.

The courtyard returned to silence, and after a while, there was an earth-shattering sneeze outside the courtyard.

Sanqi shivered in the cold wind and thought: Why hasn't his prince come out yet?
