When going up to court, the atmosphere in the hall was frozen like suffocation. There were earth dragons and the temperature was warm, but it seemed that people were still in the cold winter outside.

Above the hall, Yu Ke sat on the dragon chair, his young and handsome face was expressionless.

The servants below held up the jade wat, not daring to breathe out, for fear of touching the emperor's scales.

Rong Yue and Song Shuangcheng each stood at the head of the two rows, and they also kept their brows pleasing to the eye, without saying much.

In the past few days, the emperor's complexion was not good. Although he didn't mean to be angry, he looked gloomy and frightening. The court ministers were always in fear, fearing that if they accidentally said something wrong, their heads would disappear.

"If you have something to play, you have nothing to do." Li Yuansheng said loudly.

"Report to the emperor, I have something to announce." One person thought over and over again, but still came out, bowed his head and said, "I heard that a huge stone fell from the sky on the border of Weiying, with the word 'Chu Ning' written on it, Your Majesty..."

The officials were in an uproar, and Rong Yue and Song Shuangcheng glanced at each other.

Yu Ke's eyes moved over calmly.

In the cold weather, the man broke out in a cold sweat suddenly, and stammered: "This, this is the meaning of the heavens. The emperor is the son of heaven, so you must take it seriously."

Yu Ke swept his sleeves, raised his eyebrows, and said, "How much do you want me to value, let me tell you."

The man was so frightened that his legs gave way, he almost knelt down, and said: "This... the emperor is wise and powerful, and has made his own decisions, and my humble minister dare not go beyond the rules."

Yu Ke sat calmly, with cold eyes, and a calm voice: "It is God's will to have a stone. If something important comes one day, a stone with 'Yu Death' written on it will come. Do you follow God's will and kill yourself by wiping your necks together? ?”

"The emperor calm down." All the officials knelt down and said.

Rong Yue pursed her lips, but still came out, and said: "The emperor speaks carefully."

Song Shuangcheng shouted in his heart, the national teacher is coming!

In the past when he was in court, the emperor was extremely calm, resolute and thunderous in every situation.Occasionally there are infuriating state affairs, and the emperor is not so cold. If the national teacher is here, the emperor will really be cautious when he says a word of caution.

Now that the national teacher is not here, it seems that the emperor can't calm down...

Yu Ke glanced at Rong Yue, and said, "What's your opinion, Prime Minister Zuo?"

Rong Yue said: "Go and find out the source first. If it is artificial, it will be the crime of murdering the national teacher. Death is not a pity. If it is God's will, Your Majesty... still should take it seriously."

Yu Ke glanced at the courtiers below, and laughed: "A huge rock fell from the sky, why don't you worry about whether there are civilian casualties? Instead, you are concerned about whether there are words on it."

"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

Yu Ke said coldly: "Go back and copy the official training, five times."

"...Thank you, Your Majesty Ron."

After coming down to court, the adult who said "Chu Ning" came to find Rong Yue, wiped his sweat, and whispered: "Prime Minister Rong, did you say something wrong that made His Majesty so angry?"

Rong Yue sized him up and said, "How long have you been in the imperial court?"

"It didn't take long, and I was promoted by someone under the National Teacher, and I only came in for a month." The young man smiled.

Rong Yue said in a business-like manner: "It's a good thing to speak out. Your Majesty is a wise king, so you won't be too angry."

The young man said: "Prime Minister Rong, do you think His Majesty really cares about the national teacher, or is he just acting?"

"It's... hard to say," Rong Yue smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes, "It's true that teachers and students love each other deeply, and it's also true that the ministers are strong and the monarch is suspicious. Maybe it has something to do with the fate of the country, and His Majesty has to be careful about it."

The man nodded, deeply convinced, and said: "Yes, the kings of all dynasties have cared about such important matters, and a few years ago, your majesty was still young, so it was reasonable for the national tutor to take power. Now that your majesty has reached the age of marriage, the national tutor will The regency should not be so blatant."

Tolerance is noncommittal.

----

The National Teacher's Mansion is as quiet as usual.

Wrapped in silver, the snowflakes are crystal clear.

Chu Tang taught Yu Shen to write in the room. Yu Shen sat at the table, holding a brush, and wrote stroke by stroke, very seriously.Chu Tang looked at it for a while, nodded, picked up the book at hand and flipped through it.

Xu Yi came in and said, "Master, everything is settled."

"Okay." Chu Tang nodded.

Xu Yi looked at him and said: "The national teacher is not going to the morning court today?"

"Yes," Chu Tang said lazily, pinching the thin pages of the book with his slender fingers, "I don't have anything to do, so it's fine if I don't go."

Xu Yi smiled and said, "Master is leaving, it seems that people are much more relaxed."

Chu Tang nodded, suddenly remembered something, put down the book, and said, "Qianji Pavilion is busy, after I leave, you stay..."

Xu Yi knelt down, with a dazed expression on his face: "Master, doesn't he bring his subordinates with him?"

Chu Tang's eyes were dark, and he looked a little inhuman and indifferent: "No, I will go to relax alone. You are the master of the house, and Qianji Pavilion cannot do without you."

Xu Yi lowered his head in a very docile gesture, and said in a low voice, "But Master, if you don't bring anyone with you, who will protect you?"

"The place I'm going to is very safe, and I don't need anyone to protect me." Chu Tang looked at this loyal subordinate, and said in a gentle tone, "I will leave the Qianji Pavilion to you. When I come back next time, I hope I can Good news about your family and business."

Xu Yi pursed her lips and remained silent.

Chu Tang thought for a while, and said, "Let me ask abruptly, are you interested in the Fourth Miss of the Shen family?"

Xu Yi was still immersed in his own emotions. When he suddenly heard what Chu Tang said, he was at a loss for a moment, and then he quickly reacted, and his eyes widened: "This subordinate is only loyal to the master all his life, how could..."

"Don't be nervous," Chu Tang said with a broken smile, "I'm talking about affection, not doubting you."

Xu Yi said hoarsely, "No."

"That's because I was abrupt." Chu Tang said, "If there is nothing to do, step back."

Xu Yi withdrew as if in a daze.

Chu Tang turned his head and saw Yu Shen looking at him without blinking.He said, "What's wrong?"

Yu Shen said, "It's finished. Brother Chu, where are you going?"

"Leave for a while," Chu Tang said, "When the time comes, you will go to the palace and live with your cousin. You will be well-clothed and well-fed, even better than the Imperial Teacher's Mansion."

Yu Shen muttered: "The National Teacher's Mansion is very good, I don't want to go. That man is very cruel to Brother Chu."

Chu Tang smiled lightly, thought for a while, then shook his head, and said: "He is not fierce, on the contrary, he is a very powerful emperor."

Although Yu Ke always had a fierce look, in front of him, he was a child after all, with no malice and would never hurt him.Chu Tang is still confident about this.

Yu Shen said, "Brother Chu is the most powerful."

"It is a crime of disrespect to spread your words." Chu Tang said, "You are not allowed to talk like this with the emperor in the future, do you hear me?"

Yu Shen let out an aggrieved "Oh".

Chu Tang took the book from his lap, got up, and walked to the door.

The light snow outside the door fluttered, and occasionally fell to the eaves in a whirl.

Chu Tang's indifferent eyes softened a little.

He remembered the first time he met that child Yu Ke, it must have been such a snowy day, I don't know if he still remembers it.

Probably don't remember, such a young child, the things and people he loves are always easy to forget, Yu Ke has probably forgotten these things long ago.

The system said: "Host, are you really leaving? But the task has not been completed, I will be punished..."

After Chu Tang said he was going to leave, the system didn't know what he was thinking, so he didn't dare to speak.Now that Chu Tang seemed determined to leave, he had no choice but to ask.

"Well, we have to go," Chu Tang looked at the snow outside, his voice was cold, "Don't worry about the mission."

The system trembled: "Host, don't hide it from me, I'm afraid."

"What are you afraid of? Your boss is so good. Don't be afraid."

The system sobbed: "The boss asked me what you were going to do a few days ago, and I didn't dare to talk to the boss anymore."

Chu Tang's tasks were always done so well, and his aptitude was the highest from the very beginning, so it was normal for his superiors to pay attention to Chu Tang.But since the main system assigned him a task, he has been on tenterhooks.The main system said to "make a lot of Chu Tang and Yu Ke", but Chu Tang doesn't seem to be tempted by the people here, this task is too difficult!

Chu Tang smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tease you. You can reply for me, just say that I want to leave."

"...I don't think he'll agree."

Chu Tang said: "That's it, I'll wait for his reply."

The system muttered: "Why do I feel that the host is more familiar with the main system than me?"

Chu Tang looked at the falling snow, and his voice sounded like a sigh: "Although Yu Ke is not very willing, but there is always a teacher-student relationship, and a farewell is more important."

night time.

While having dinner, the housekeeper suddenly came to report: "My lord, the emperor sent someone to explain the legend, and asked Shen Shi, the national teacher, to come to Zichen Palace."

Chu Tang paused the silver chopsticks in his hand, nodded and said, "Understood."

Zichen Palace is Yu Ke's former prince's palace.

Before going out, Chu Tang picked up the cloak on the wooden frame, and saw the Phoenix White Jade hanging on the side.

He hesitated, but took it and tied it.

Yu Shen probed his head and said, "Where is brother going?"

"Go find your emperor's cousin, and be back soon," Chu Tang said.

Yu Shen was a little sleepy, rubbed his eyes and said, "Brother Chu, come back soon."

Xu Yi came over with tea, saw that he was about to go out, and said, "Is the national teacher going to the palace?"

Chu Tang nodded: "Well, I can go alone, you stay in the mansion."

Xu Yi didn't agree very much, and said with a cold face: "Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that the national teacher and the emperor are at odds, and the guards in the palace are also weird. How can the national teacher go to the appointment alone?"

What he said was like he was afraid that Yu Ke would force the palace.

Chu Tang didn't care much, and said, "Have you finished dealing with Wei Ying's affairs? You are busy with your work, so don't worry about me."

"It's all taken care of," Xu Yi said, "National Teacher, don't worry."

Before getting into the carriage, Xu Yi suddenly grabbed Chu Tang's hand.

He seldom made such transgressive actions, Chu Tang was slightly surprised, and turned his head.

"Master," Xu Yi's expression was a bit unclear in the night, he whispered, "Will you come back?"

When he asked this question, he didn't know whether he was asking about tonight or in the future.

Chu Tang said: "Yes."

Xu Yi let go, raised his head, smiled, his handsome face softened a little: "This subordinate is waiting for you."

As the carriage drove towards the palace, Xu Yi's eyes were heavy.

When they arrived at the gate of the palace, the guard who used to guard the gate saw the carriage and saluted, "The national teacher is well."

They opened the door, swiftly and silently.

Chu Tang sat in the carriage, opened the curtain, stared at them for a while, and suddenly said, "Where is Commander Song who is on duty today?"

The guard bowed his head and replied: "Returning to the teacher, Commander Song has something to ask for leave."

"Well, it's hard work." Chu Tang put down the curtain.

After getting off the carriage, the coachman was about to turn around, but he heard the national teacher whisper: "Tell Qianji Pavilion not to act rashly."

The coachman was stunned for a moment, and quickly replied: "Yes."

Seeing the carriage leave the city gate safely, Chu Tang's long hair was disheveled by the night wind, Chu Tang held down his hair, his eyes and eyebrows were cold.

Those guards with unusual hands and feet, their martial arts may be similar to Xu Yi's.Moreover, there is no Song commander on duty.

Chu Tang sighed and walked towards Zichen Palace.
