Glory to the ancestors

The Hall of Renzheng in the palace is specially used for banquets.

In the center of the hall sits Li Huan.

On both sides are Rong Zhen and Xiao Qi.

Yang Jin was sitting near the entrance of the hall. He was really humble and his identity was ambiguous.

Li Huan's eyes were dull, he stared at the front quietly, but he took all the expressions of the people into his heart.

The Chu officials who stayed in this hall were all arranged by Rong Zhen early in the morning, and they were all selfish people. Although this kind of people were capable enough, but they had ulterior motives, they would always be thorns; The current Liang Guo generals are even more ulterior motives.

As early as when he stayed in Liang Guo, Xiao Qi often had a headache for these good generals with high achievements.

How nice, this pile of puzzles.

Li Huan secretly rejoiced that his life was not long enough.

He suddenly laughed, even though he knew that his body couldn't bear the stimulation of alcohol, he still raised his glass and said, "I'm going back to the palace this time, all thanks to Emperor Liang."

Xiao Qi's complexion was not good, as if he was suppressing his temper, he also raised his glass. Although he drank the wine, he kept his eyes on Li Huan.

Rong Zhen was opposite them, looking at them worriedly.

He is not a fool either, everyone can see Xiao Qi's exaggerated eyes.

I'm afraid he can understand the personal essence he left behind.

Rong Zhen was just not worth it for Li Huan. Li Huan was originally such an excellent person, but he would become such a role in the eyes of others as an Israeli servant.

He heaved a long sigh, sighed a little, then turned his head to look at Yang Jin, and found that Yang Jin was still drinking.

Li Huan hadn't left yet, the courtiers couldn't move around at will, Rong Zhen could only watch from a distance.

Occasionally, someone around greeted Rong Zhen, but Rong Zhen just nodded, perfunctory.

Things didn't go as smoothly as he thought, and Li Huan's return didn't bring the story to a perfect ending, but made them even more desperate.

Rong Zhen let out a breath, he wanted to relax a bit, and just wanted to take a sip of wine, when suddenly there was noise outside.

All eyes are on the past.

Ye Kan grabbed a beggar-like man by the neck and went straight into the hall.

It took Rong Zhen a while to recognize that it was Cheng Duyun.

After Li Yun was killed, he kept asking people to find out his whereabouts, but he didn't expect that he had become like this.

He really wanted to deal with this person, but at the banquet in the palace, Xiao Qi's subordinates brought this person to the hall, and he was still in front of Li Huan, which really made Li Huan's already little prestige even more wiped out.

However, Li Huan's voice couldn't hear any emotional changes, it was too weak, "Who is this?"

Ye Kan knelt on the ground with one knee, subconsciously glanced at Xiao Qi, and saw Xiao Qi nodded, "He is a traitor of Chu State."

Rong Zhen couldn't let Li Huan continue to ask Ye Kan, so he took the initiative to go to the seat and kneel in front of Li Huan, "Return to the emperor, this is the sinner Cheng Duyun."

Hearing this name, Li Huan nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty, I've been wronged." Cheng Duyun was trembling all over, his body was covered with terrible scars, this might be the method of Liang Guoyingwei.

"No one has said that you have committed any crimes, so why are you being wronged?" Li Huan rolled his eyes and smiled at the corners of his mouth, "You, in your capacity as the emperor's washing pen, continued to slander the late emperor, first you detonated it on the street □□, which caused panic among the people in Beijing; he placed his own relatives in the forbidden army, which caused the continuous decline of the forbidden army's combat power; All dissidents were cut off one by one; but even so, you still didn't hold back at all, and even your backer, the life of the former emperor, was not saved." Li Huan's tone was slow, although the voice was very soft, everyone could An unmistakable threat was heard from within.

Cheng Duyun stared at Li Huan in a daze, unable to utter a single word of defense.

"Cheng Qing, are you wronged?" Li Huan leaned forward slightly, looking directly at Cheng Duyun.

Cheng Duyun blinked his turbid eyes slightly, sat back and collapsed on the ground.

Xiao Qi glanced at Ye Kan with indifferent eyes, "At this time, why bring a sinner up here to worry about who? Find a cool place and chop it up."

"Emperor Liang is afraid that he doesn't understand the rules of our state of Chu," Yang Jin's voice came from the door. He drank a lot, and his feet were a little vain. He walked up to Li Huan, knelt down, and looked sideways at Xiao Qi. , "We Chu State, if there is no solid evidence, we will not simply convict a person."

Xiao Qi hissed, he was not willing to listen to a lesson from a brat.

Seeing Xiao Qi's reaction, Ye Kan was about to stand up and drag Cheng Duyun away.

"That's right," Li Huan said at this time, "Chu has its own criminal law, and there is no such thing as Liang's beheading without trial." He really liked seeing Xiao Qi holding back his anger, "We're not savages after all."

All the people present lowered their heads tightly, and no one dared to make a sound. They wished that such an embarrassing scene could disappear out of thin air.

Xiao Qi stared at Li Huan, bit his lower lip, and forced himself to smile, "That's right, this is Chu's internal affairs, it's not good for us to participate, Ye Kan, put him down and get out."

Ye Kan nodded hesitantly, looked at Yang Jin and Rong Zhen with dissatisfaction, and bowed to Xiao Qi with fists in his arms.

"Wait a minute," Yang Jin protracted, "I know that General Ye is a subject of Liang Guo, but he does as the Romans do, and your status is much lower than our Majesty, why don't you salute our Majesty?"

Ye Kan was inexplicable, he was just ordered to arrest someone, so why did he feel guilty.

When he was in Liang Guo, his position was far higher than that of Li Huan, a useless grand master. He never made Li Huan kneel down to him, so now he has to do it the other way around?

Ye Kan was a simple-minded martial artist, he didn't understand the current struggle between Xiao Qi and Li Huan, so he looked at Xiao Qi in a panic.

There was a long silence in the hall.

People on both sides dared not even put down their chopsticks, for fear of making any noise and making the scene even more embarrassing.

Cheng Duyun lowered his body, wishing his upper body could merge with the ground.

Rong Zhen lowered his head and glanced at Yang Jin who was on the side. Yang Jin was really determined not to please Xiao Qi.

"I haven't saluted Emperor Chu yet."

Xiao Qi's gloomy voice shook Li Huan's heart, he stopped his trembling hands, he no longer had anything to fear, he was also the emperor above ten thousand people.

Ye Kan bowed to Li Huan obediently and heaved a sigh of relief, he didn't want to get involved anymore.

Rong Zhen nodded to the imperial guards guarding the door, someone came quickly and dragged Cheng Duyun down, he and Yang Jin also returned to their respective positions, as if nothing happened just now.

But everyone knows it in their hearts.

Even though Li Huan was able to return to the throne by relying on Emperor Liang's power, he is still the one sitting on this chair now, and no one can get in touch with Emperor Liang beyond Li Huan's order.

Xiao Qi's complexion became even darker, and the servant who was pouring wine at the side couldn't keep up with his drinking speed.

With his elbows on the table, Li Huan still looked at the crowd quietly, and when his eyes caught Yang Jin, Yang Jin was also looking at him with a smile.

They shrugged their shoulders in unison and laughed together again.

Rong Zhen took a sip of his wine, smiled and shook his head.

It's not too late, the two young masters are already asleep.

Rong Zhen didn't drink much, got off the sedan chair, and saw someone he knew was waiting in front of the door.

He smiled at the sweet-scented osmanthus and waved.

Osmanthus osmanthus thought that he had something to tell her, so she trotted forward two steps, but was directly pulled into Rong Zhen's arms.

Osmanthus osmanthus looked up at Rong Zhen with some doubts.

Rong Zhen said softly, "Let's leave here."

He didn't need to wait for the sweet-scented osmanthus' answer, he just rested his forehead on the sweet-scented osmanthus' shoulder.

Osmanthus osmanthus felt a little wet on her shoulders, slowly raised her hand, stroked the back of Rong Zhen's head, and gently stroked his hair.

Rong Zhen put his arms around the waist of the sweet-scented osmanthus, rubbing it once and for all.

There were only the two of them left on this peaceful street.

Rong Zhen also slowly calmed down.

He can't leave now, Li Huan may have an accident at any time.

A person like Xiao Qi puts interests first, and he does not hesitate to destroy Li Huan's body to achieve his goal of annexing Chu. Once he knows that Li Huan can no longer be used by him, how will he treat a tool that is no longer valuable...

Although sweet-scented osmanthus eats a lot, she usually does a lot of chores, so she can't gain weight no matter what.

He doesn't have any fat around the waist that most ordinary people have, and Rong Zhen can even touch the protruding spine through his clothes.

Osmanthus fragrans was made a little uncomfortable, she straightened up, but it happened to get closer to Rong Zhen's arms.

Rong Zhen giggled a few times, which made Mu Xi even more embarrassed, pushing and shoving to break free.

Rong Zhen said in a low voice, "Osmanthus, I am really sad today."

The sweet-scented osmanthus pouted, but stopped moving.

How could he not know how much Rongzhen's words were true and how much was false, but he knew that Rongzhen was really under a lot of pressure these days, and he didn't want to argue with him anymore.

Several times when he woke up at night, he could see Rong Zhen staring at the top of the bed with his eyes open.

He couldn't help Rongzhen share the burden.

Yang Jin was sent to Rong Mansion very late, he was already dizzy, he swayed past these two lingering people, and entered the house by himself.

A little envious.

No, I am very envious.

Yang Jin entered the Rong Mansion, walked out for a long time, and then stopped, standing where she was thinking quietly.

If he switched identities with Mu Xi, would he be willing?

I don't want to.

Rather than being someone who is protected by Rongzhen, he thinks it is best to be side by side with Rongzhen.

The last time Osmanthus osmanthus said she was jealous of herself was also because of this.

□□It's really hurt too badly, he can't fall in love with anyone evenly, he can only find a forever stable, non-cold embrace.

Yang Jin tilted her head and stood for a while, feeling that the nights were not so warm as spring turned to summer, so she hunched her back and ran into her room.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw Tong'er standing beside his bed.

Yang Jin was startled, and just about to speak, Tong'er made a "silence" gesture to him.

Yang Jin was drunk at first, and his mind was muddled. He was afraid that he would hurt the girl's family by one step, so he shook his legs twice, and was about to refuse seriously, but saw a baby lying next to Tong'er, holding his little one with his little hands. blanket.

This little blanket was made by Yang Jin when she was a child. Yang Jin always said that it had a very friendly smell, and she couldn't fall asleep without smelling it, so she kept it with her all the time.

Yang Jin walked into the baby. The baby's face was smooth and there were no moles at the corners of the eyes. This was Rong Yu.

Tong'er used sign language to explain to Yang Jin that Yang Jin didn't sleep with the two children today, so she couldn't coax them well. Fortunately, Rong Jue fell asleep when she was tired from crying.

Rong Yu didn't cry, she just stared and waited.

Tong'er thought of a way to carry Rongyu into Yang Jin's room, but she didn't expect it to be really useful.

Yang Jin nodded, indicating that she knew.

At this time, it is really more useful than sign language.

Yang Jin gestured to Tong'er, telling her to go to bed first, and just take care of Rongyu by herself.

Tong'er was also tired, so she gave a blessing and then withdrew.

Yang Jin exhaled, feeling that she had woken up from the alcohol, stretched her shoulders, walked to the bed, wrapped Rong Yu in a small blanket, loosened her clothes, and lay down carefully beside Rong Yu.

He looked at Rongyu, she was white and tender, she had inherited his father and mother's good skin, and she would definitely be the same in the future.

What will he become in the future?

What will he become in the future?

Eight-year-old Rong Zhen knelt in front of the bed with his cheeks propped up, looking at the little doll in front of him.

The little baby can't bark or make noises, so I asked the doctor to come and see him, saying that he was born dumb.

What should I do? If he is bullied in the future, won't he know it?

Rong Zhen seriously thought about this question.

"Second Young Master, His Royal Highness and Young Master Yang are here."

When Rong Zhen heard the housekeeper say, he breathed a sigh of relief, he has been studying at the Tai Tuo for more than two years, but he still can't stand the noisy Yang Jin and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who is always arrogant.

But they seem to like themselves very much.

Before Rong Zhen could express anything, Yang Jin had already ran in with his hands open, "Rong Zhen! Is the sweet-scented osmanthus here?!"

Sleeping sweet-scented osmanthus was awakened, her mouth pouted, and she muttered silently twice.

Rong Zhen smacked his lips, and put his two small hands on the ears of the sweet-scented osmanthus, "What's the matter?"

"What can he do, he just wants to pass the time with you." Li Huan walked behind, lazily.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, don't I miss it!"

Rong Zhen went out with his family for a spring outing, and only came back after half a month.

"Tomorrow I will go to the Taifu's residence."

"Can't wait!" Yang Jin didn't care.

Rong Zhen knew that with Yang Jin's loud voice, Osmanthus osmanthus couldn't sleep well this afternoon, but the time was almost up, and it was time to wake up Osmanthus osmanthus.

He gently shook the body of the sweet-scented osmanthus twice, and the sweet-scented osmanthus gradually woke up.

"It's on the osmanthus." Yang Jin raised her eyebrows and looked carefully, "Is it a girl's clothes?"

The sweet-scented osmanthus wiped the drool from her mouth, stood up slowly, and turned around, and the hem of the little flower skirt also fluttered.

Rong Zhen coughed, and stretched out his hands to wrap Osmanthus osmanthus's legs, "Nurse said it's getting hot, so he'll be cool in this dress."

Yang Jin thought for a while, then turned her head and asked Li Huan, "Have I worn clothes like this before?"

Li Huan rolled his eyes and thought for a while, "I don't remember."

Yang Jin was not very happy, and asked again, "Is the sweet-scented osmanthus still unable to speak?"

Rong Zhen sighed, "Yes."

"I'm different from him. I came here to tell you that I helped you find a teacher for the sweet-scented osmanthus."

"teacher?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince shook his hair very chicly, and shouted outside, "Come in!"

Then a commoner scholar walked in.

"See Young Master Rong."

Rong Zhen shook his hand, expressing that there is no need to salute like this.

The scholar raised his head and said, "The scholar's father is deaf and dumb, so the scholar knows some sign language."

"Sign language?" Rong Zhen looked at Li Huan, "Osmanthus osmanthus is not necessarily dumb."

"Even if it's not, it's not bad to learn something about it, it will be useful in the future." Li Huan replied.

Yang Jin's eyes widened, "Then not only osmanthus learning, but we also want it?"

"Naturally." Li Huan glanced at him, "Otherwise, only sweet-scented osmanthus would be of any use."

Li Huan was more mature than them. When he followed the emperor to inspect the new imperial examinations, this man kept gesticulating and talking to his father. After he understood it, he immediately asked his father to come.

Although Rong Zhen didn't show it on the face, he was really happy in his heart.

As long as he can know what the osmanthus wants, then he can get everything for the osmanthus.

But unexpectedly, the matter of sign language helped Li Huan.

Li Huan leaned against the pillar, with one leg on the railing, "At that time, Xiao Qi asked someone to imprison me in the quiet courtyard of Liang State. I had a detoxification pill that my father left me, so I used it." .”

Rong Zhen moved a small chair and sat next to him, while Yang Jin and Mu Xi placed a cushion on the ground and sat directly on it. The attendants stayed far away from them and did not dare to disturb them.

"But I still have to pretend to be dumb, so I keep using sign language." Li Huan smiled when he said this.

"At that time, there was a concubine in the harem who was driven to the secluded courtyard because she offended Xiao Qi." Li Huan paused in his eyes, and then continued, "She is a princess of the Yan Kingdom. When I was arguing with Xiao Qi, I gave Xiao Qi a slap."

"So pungent?" Yang Jin opened her mouth wide open, what kind of heroine must be to slap that dark-faced emperor.

Li Huan smiled, "Well, although she is aggressive, she has a good heart. She doesn't know that I am the emperor of Chu, she just thinks that others are bullying me, so she stands up for me."

"Later, Xiao Qi planned to attack the Qi State, and wanted to reconcile with the Yan State, so she was called back to the harem, and she took me with her. It was also the first time I saw Xiao Qi at that time."

"She was very happy to be favored again, and she dressed herself up beautifully every day, until she suddenly knew that Xiao Qi had actually turned around and attacked the country of Yan."

Rong Zhen looked at Li Huan with a somewhat guilty expression. He didn't know why, but he felt that the reason why Emperor Liang suddenly changed his plan had something to do with Li Huan.

"She made a big fuss and hurt herself. When the imperial doctor came, she found out that she was pregnant."

"Is that Prince Shu?" Yang Jin looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus and asked Li Huan.

That child is always pestering Li Huan,

Li Huan nodded, "She is depressed, I can only help her and offer advice to Xiao Qi."

Li Huan paused for a while, as if he had used a lot of strength, and continued, "I thought that my appearance had changed a lot after a few years, and Xiao Qi wouldn't recognize it, but he still found out that I was originally As a result, I reached an agreement with him.”

Osmanthus osmanthus stretched out her hand and gently shook Li Huan's hand. He felt that Li Huan's expression was very painful.

Li Huan smiled at him, "I told you everything I want to tell you."

"I helped him a lot, including the mutiny in his army, the civil strife in the court, and even the revision of Liang Guo's new law. At the same time, I was also inquiring about your situation through the news I gradually grasped." Li Huan rested his head on the On the pillar, he took a deep breath, "You all know what happened later."

Rong Zhen blinked, "Where is that empress?"

"Her," Li Huan said, "after she gave birth, her body was not as good as before, and some things stimulated her, so..."

If Li Huan didn't go on, Rong Zhen and the others would understand.

"Shu'er's eyes are very similar to hers." Li Huan said suddenly.

Yang Jin nodded, "I think that Prince Shu is also very smart, and he seems to be very interested in the culture of Chu State. Maybe he will be a talent in the future."

Li Huan looked at Yang Jin, "So I hope you can take care of him for me in the future."

"But he is the prince of Liang Guo, that one, will you agree?" Rong Zhen asked.

Li Huan shrugged his shoulders, "Liang Guo attaches great importance to the purity of blood, a prince with the blood of Yan Kingdom is destined not to inherit the throne, not to mention, Xiao Qi doesn't like this child, so I will naturally tell him. "

"Then I can be a teacher like my father?" Yang Jin narrowed her eyes and smiled.

Rong Zhen sighed, "Misunderstanding my son."

Just as Yang Jin wanted to refute, Osmanthus osmanthus pulled her sleeve.

Osmanthus osmanthus pointed out the railing. It turned out that when they were talking, snow fell from the sky.

"What day is it, why is it snowing?" Yang Jin was puzzled.

Li Huan slowly turned his head to the side, looking at the pure white snowflakes that kept falling, and suddenly remembered his first encounter with that person.

At that time, she was wearing a blue dress, standing in front of her with her waist down, lowered her head, and looked at her with big eyes, "Your hands are covered with frostbite, stop doing it!"

That was the first sentence of concern he heard in Liang Guo.

He closed his eyes slightly, but Rong Zhen and the others stood up.

Holding a cloak in both hands, Xiao Qi walked over and put it on Li Huan, "Go into the house."

Li Huan seemed to be disturbed by his voice, sighed helplessly, and slowly stood up.

Rong Zhen and the others stood in place, facing the backs of the two of them, with mixed feelings in their hearts.

Their waists were slightly bowed, and for some unknown reason, the three of them all thought of a place, this might be the last time they and Li Huan saw each other.

Xiao Qi stayed by Li Huan's bed, he had already drunk all the imperial physicians, and there were only the two of them in this empty bedroom.

Li Huan's eyes were so tired that he could barely open them, but he still tried his best to speak, "At least I can die in Chu State, that's enough."

"..." Xiao Qi was silent.

"You can bring Shu'er..."

"No." Xiao Qi refused decisively.

Li Huan's eyes froze, and he smiled wryly, "You are my last wish, can't you?"

"No," Xiao Qi showed no shame on his face, "Only this wish is not allowed."

Li Huan's lips trembled, and he exhaled helplessly, "Xiao Qi, you and I are just a bad relationship, we both know what each other is pretending to be."

"Then what am I pretending to be?" Xiao Qi looked into Li Huan's eyes and asked calmly.

Naturally, it is the ambition to unify the world.

……

But Li Huan was shocked and speechless.

Xiao Qi's tears fell down his face in big drops, and flowed down his neck to his back.

What does it mean?

Li Huan shook his head slightly, after going through so much with Xiao Qi, he couldn't believe that Xiao Qi had anything else in his heart besides ambition.

But those dark brown pupils clearly reflected himself.

Li Huan found painfully that he was trapped in a triangular strange circle.

None of the three got what they wanted.

Xiao Qi sniffed, his eyes were red, "I promise you, I will do everything else, even if you don't believe me."

Li Huan couldn't figure it out, he was too tired.

For the first time in his life, he was loved, and that person turned out to be an enemy.

……

Xiao Qi caressed Li Huan's face, but Li Huan didn't give him time to speak his mind.

Very well, this is what Li Huan is best at, escaping from everything.

But he can't say it at all, the person in the world who is most unqualified to say that he loves Li Huan is himself.

Xiao Qi laughed at himself.

Ye Kan waited all night outside the dormitory, really worried, so he opened the door quietly.

The scene before him silenced him.

In their eyes, the most honorable emperor, the incarnation of the Son of God, is now kneeling in front of a cold corpse.

Xiao Qi is someone who has never even kneeled before his parents.

Ye Kan covered his mouth and closed the door again.

The author has something to say:

After twelve o'clock!
