The reborn sycophant

The setting sun is like blood, and the distant mountains are like daisy. The grass spreading from the stream to the camp is like an undulating green blanket, fresh and soft, dotted with a few yellow and white flowers, easily showing a Kind of soft.

However, eyes can be deceiving. In fact, the ground is rough, and the stones scattered under the grass are also very rough. Wei Chuyan walked on such a ground with a person on his back, but his steps were surprisingly steady. Zhao Ji lay on her shoulder, Following her pace, he rose and fell, silently watching the fire ahead.

It felt like Wei Chuyan took her away from a slightly dark place and carried her all the way to a bright place.

There is warmth in the light.

Put Zhao Ji on the rocks beside the heated fire and sat down, Chu Yan patted her on the shoulder, beckoning her not to move around, then ran back to get Zhao Ji's boots, not far away, checking Gao Muen, who was on guard all around, shook his head at her back.

They shouldn't be so close.

In the evening, we ate fresh game.The plump rabbit was put on the fire, and soon the oil came out, sizzling, taking care of the master's taste, the accompanying cook cooked a pot of soup with wild mushrooms, the mountain mushrooms have the unique wildness of the mountain forest , only with mountain spring water and a little stew, it will be delicious and compelling.While waiting for the rabbit meat to be cooked, Zhao Ji and Wei Chuyan sat by the fire, drinking soup as an appetizer.

"The first banquet once told you that the prince will always be deposed one day. At that time, the East Palace will become a piece of fat that everyone wants to bite. Now this has been fulfilled. Fat meat, does the master really not think about it?"

Stirring the rabbit on the fire with erratic movements, watching the meat stained with spices, gradually being roasted brown, emitting a tempting aroma, Wei Chuyan whispered to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji held the light and portable wooden bowl, sipped the soup without raising his head, and said, "I don't like to eat fatty meat."

"But only if you get this piece of fat, can you have a lot of lean meat to eat."

"Then I don't like lean meat either."

Zhao Ji put the bowl heavily on the table propped aside, and stared at Wei Chuyan angrily, full of momentum, but he couldn't frighten Wei Chuyan.With such gazes, Chuyan spread out his hands, and Qingjun's brows and eyes were reflected in the orange fire, appearing very gentle.She shook her head and said to Zhao Ji: "Master, you understand what I mean."

As she said, she poked a well-ripe rabbit with a knife, and gave Zhao Ji a small piece of fat leg meat: "Fat meat, lean meat, it's not what you want to eat, but what you can eat, it's up to you Only when you have that piece of fat, you have the right to choose what to eat in the future. You have to fight for that piece of fat, and there is no turning back when you open your bow. Whether you want it or not, after you become a "Qianyang Lord" After that, you won't be able to go back."

Staring at the steaming golden crispy meat on the plate, Zhao Ji remained silent.

"The empress is already walking ahead, she is pulling you in front, while the other highnesses are chasing you on the same road, or are about to overtake you. You can't help yourself if you want to go forward, you only have one pair on your plate now." Chopsticks, and the only thing that can satisfy your hunger is that piece of fat, master, you can only go up, sweep away everyone else, and eat the only piece of meat."

Seeing that Zhao Ji was still silent, Wei Chuyan also cut a piece of meat for himself, and took a bite: "This rabbit is roasted very well, try it, sometimes fat meat has a special flavor."

Zhao Ji looked at her, and pushed the plate away in resistance: "Rabbit meat is delicious, but what about human meat? Is human meat also delicious? Doesn't the meat of my brother and sister feel disgusting to eat?" After finishing speaking, she turned her body sideways Went over and wiped his eyes.

Wei Chuyan couldn't bear it. If she could, she didn't want to break Zhao Ji's innocence and wear down her kindness. But thinking of the current situation and the path Zhao Ji would take in the future, she knew very well that if she let Zhao Ji Ji running away again and again like this is the cruelty to Zhao Ji.

"You find it disgusting, but others don't. Think about the end of the crown prince. Do you want to be thrown into the dust like him?"

"Brother Prince made a mistake, so he gave others a handle. If I don't do wrong things, who can knock me down?"

"Then what about Concubine Wan Gui?" said the first banquet, "If your Highness doesn't do it, the noble concubine will. Don't lie to yourself Your Highness, you have already stepped into the vortex of competing for the reserve, and you can't get out."

"Mother's concubine... I don't agree, I will go back and tell her. The storm has not yet rolled over, it is not too late to get out in time. Wei Chuyan, I have told you before, let you not Say that kind of thing again, I will warn you again today, I don't want to hear the words of the heavenly family from your mouth again."

After finishing the soup in silence, Zhao Ji put down the bowl and got up to leave. When she walked past the fire, she stopped, turned her back to Wei Chuyan and said softly, "Thank you."

Wei Chuyan's words made sense, the first banquet was for her own good, she knew it in her heart, but... just say she was cowardly, she didn't want to do those things.

Zhao Ji left, leaving the piece of meat behind.The meat had completely lost its heat, and lay quietly on the plate, with a layer of cold oil that had condensed floating on it.

No wonder Zhao Ji didn't like it, it would be disgusting to eat such meat.Staring at the piece of meat for a long time, finally made up his mind at a certain moment, Wei Chuyan took the plate, put the meat into his mouth, endured the greasy nausea, chewed slowly and carefully, swallowed down.

Zhao Ji didn't eat, she went to eat.If she doesn't want to be stained with the blood of a flesh-and-blood brother, then she will.In her previous life, she had never done such a thing, but in this life, if it is really necessary, it is not impossible for her to do it.

Zhao Ji's appearance made her feel uneasy.She originally thought that after going to Chang'an, she would find an opportunity to leave, but now, she knew.

As long as Zhao Ji is still like this, she cannot do without Zhao Ji.

I don't know the previous life, how did Zhao Ji figure it out?Zhao Ji never mentioned these things to her. She didn't even know that the emperor was so soft and kind when he was a child. Then, how did such a person develop such a temperament like a blazing sun in the future?

Putting the doubts behind for the time being, he summoned the servants to clean up the things, and turned around to the forest at the first banquet.

Since the last split was exposed, Zhao Ji knew that Wei Chuyan had such a few skilled servants around him. This time when he went to Chang'an, Wei Chuyan no longer let them follow secretly, but left Zhou Lu behind. As guards, let the Hua family siblings go back to Zhaoshui City to see the situation at home.

At this moment, after receiving a special code, she knew that the Hua family siblings had also returned.

"Owner."

Going around several towering trees, in the dark dense forest, two figures flashed out of nowhere and knelt down in front of Wei Chuyan.

Wei Chuyan asked them to get up: "You didn't come to me directly after you came back, is there anything you can't tell me?"

Both of them nodded, and Hua Xiaochao said, "Master, something happened at home."

Hua Xiaoyao continued: "The matter of the master's division has been reported home. The madam and the master originally wanted to use this to recall you back, but the old master refused, and the other rooms also took the opportunity to suppress the eldest house. The madam lay down on the bed angrily. A few days..."

"What did you say? How is my mother doing now?"

The first banquet was a little anxious, maybe it was the influence of the previous life, every time she heard that her mother was ill, she was very worried, afraid that her mother would...

"Didn't I tell you not to tell the master about this? It just makes people worry!" On the side, Hua Xiaochao slapped his younger brother and cut off the conversation: "Master, don't worry, Madam is fine, she is as usual .But the situation in Dafang is not very good, the property is eaten up, and everywhere is suppressed. The master is not there, and the nails installed everywhere dare not help, for fear of ruining the master's great affairs."

"Father and mother..." Looking at the dark woods, Wei Chuyan's eyes were a little blank: "It's good that father and mother are fine, and it's okay if those properties are lost...Anyway, outsiders The ancestral palm is not growing anymore. What about other people, apart from the suppression of the industry, have they ever tampered with other aspects? Is there something wrong with my parents?"

"No, master, those people's eyes are on gold and silver, but their behavior really makes the madam's heart cold. I'm worried..."

"It doesn't matter. Although my grandfather is cruel, he will not just watch his daughter being hollowed out. If the other houses go too far, someone will teach them a lesson." The first banquet leaned against the tree, fingers Tapping the rough bark, thinking about things.

At this time, she didn't speak or act like a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, but the Hua family siblings were used to it, and waited respectfully for her to finish thinking.

The master is intelligent, and can often think and do what others cannot. The longer they confidantes spend with Wei Chuyan, the more they are impressed by her wisdom.

"By the way, I asked you to go back this time to keep an eye on my grandfather. How is he doing? Is there any change?"

Speaking of Wei Pingnan, the two men were even more respectful: "The master is as good as a god, and the Tailord has indeed sent people to Chang'an one after another. We stole the secret letter from one of them and found that it was indeed for the deposed prince. .I don’t know if they can really hook up with the deposed prince.”

Wei Chuyan laughed lightly: "Yes, of course it can. The Crown Prince was abolished, and it was a period of anger and hesitation. At this time, someone sent a lot of help, and he would only hold it firmly in his hand like grabbing a life-saving straw." Li! You don’t have to worry about this, I just need you to give me accurate feedback. In this way, Xiao Yao, you go back to Zhaoshui again, and mainly keep an eye on the guards of your grandfather. If they leave Yulin, you must catch up with them. Come to me before."

The grandfather didn't know that Zhao Ji was outside the palace at the moment, but when he got in touch with the abolished prince, the abolished prince might reveal this matter, so whether it was to clear obstacles or show loyalty, the grandfather would definitely They will send someone to assassinate Zhao Ji.

The author has something to say: the next paragraph is like a small climax.
