Second minister and thief

Chapter 78

"Your Highness..." Yun Zhaoxun lay on the ground, buried his head in his arms and wept silently. After a long while, he got up, staggered, walked to the prince, knelt down, and embraced him.

"Your Highness, you still have Daoist Kong Chen, he will help you..."

"Yes, there is Daoist! He will help me... He promised not to leave me with nothing... Let's go find him now! Yun'er! Now go find him... ..."

"Your Highness!" Yun Zhaoxun grabbed the corner of the apricot-yellow clothes tightly, imprisoned him in his arms, and persuaded softly, "It's late at night, and the Daoist thinks it's time to rest. Your Highness, let's go tomorrow." Bar."

"Everyone is lonely in this world...Everyone is lonely in this world..." His Royal Highness has drank too much wine, and has already become dizzy, and even a weak woman can't earn money. He fell into Yun Zhaoxun's arms, muttered a few more words vaguely, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Yun Zhaoxun maintained this posture, shed tears for a while, and then summoned someone to come over and clean up the place, and carry the prince inside.

At this time, no one noticed that behind the rockery not far away, there was a gray figure flashing past, a pair of bright and sharp eyes, always staring at that place, like an eagle looking for food in the sky.

......

"He really said that? The crown prince is so confused that he dared to seek skin from a tiger and caused such a big mess in Taodu. If the incident happens in the future, it may not only be as simple as being demoted to a commoner."

"The royal family broke the law and committed the same crime as the common people. Now it depends on whether the saint can let go of this heart. Sister-in-law, what do you think?"

"..." Xiao Cen was holding a cup of tea and was meditating, but when he heard this, his fingertips trembled slightly, and he almost poured all the tea soup on the brocade quilt.

"What are you calling me?"

"Sister-in-law!" The man replied as a matter of course, unaware of how much turmoil his unintentional words caused in the heart of the person in front of him, "You and Jiu Shang are already husband and wife, so I naturally want to..."

"By birth."

"Hey! What's your order, brother? I didn't say it. The younger brother was only away on business for a few months. Why did you make yourself into this state? Sister-in-law, why don't you take care of him?"

"Ok?"

"There's so much to eat, you can't stop your mouth. I'm so lucky to have your crystal cake. Ahem..." Chu Linqiu could see that Xiao Cen had been absent-minded since he woke up early in the morning , knowing that he must have something to ask, so he just wanted to dismiss this person hastily, so that he could talk about it.In fact, Xiao Cen's performance has far exceeded his expectations.

In Chu Linqiu's cognition, there was no one whose enemy was right in front of him but who was just in a trance and didn't even move his eyes.What is he thinking at the moment?Chu Linqiu was a little curious.

"It's been so long since you've been away from Beijing, your household department must have a lot of business, why don't you go back to the Yamen to have a look, and come to me first?"

"Cough...brother, are you issuing an order to evict guests? It's okay! I won't bother you and sister-in-law to talk to each other! Farewell, farewell!" With just one word, this man jumped out of the chair He stood up, and after roughly cupping his hands, he dragged the other two away. After a while, he went and came back again, holding the stack of unfinished crystal cakes in his arms, and then left with satisfaction.

"Du Pingsheng, Minister of the Household Department, is sexually promiscuous and likes sweets. Interesting?"

"Interesting. I didn't expect that you would become close friends with such a person." Du Pingsheng's entry into the imperial court as the number one scholar was a sensation, even Xiao Cen, who lived in a bitterly cold place, had heard of it a little bit.Grandfather also sighed at that time, "It's a pity that Du Sheng's talent has gone up and down in Dongfu."

"Master Chu, my grandfather was assassinated and died, is there really something else hidden?"

"Master Hou has the answer in his heart..."

"This Marquis wants you to say it yourself!" Although Xiao Cen's mood is basically calm today, he is still unavoidably affected by the residue of the drug. At this moment, seeing Chu Linqiu half lying on the bed, he looks calm, except for his pale face, there is nothing wrong with it Somehow, the string in my brain snapped.He leaned forward, grasped Chu Linqiu's wrist, and held it up high in front of his eyes. Unexpectedly, Chu Linqiu groaned suddenly, and his face became paler visibly.

"Are... are you okay?!" Xiao Cen suddenly let go of his hand, and turned to support the crumbling person on the bed, "What's going on? Are you injured? When did you get hurt? How do I not know? "

Chu Linqiu fell into his arms weakly, his eyes were slightly closed, his expression was exhausted, extremely weak, but there was still a faint smile on the corner of his mouth.After a long time, he sighed softly, and asked quietly, "What happened after taking the traditional Chinese medicine last night...Hou Ye is serious, can't you remember anything?"

"It's Ben Hou...I hurt you?"

"..." Chu Linqiu did not answer, but adjusted his posture in Xiao Cen's arms to ensure that the wound would not be pressed, Fang Lue said helplessly, "Master Hou, I am very dizzy. .....you don't..."

"Are you dizzy? Could it be that you lost too much blood?! Where is the injury? Let me see!" Xiao Cen was also in a panic right now, and even forgot what he was about to blurt out.Chu Linqiu has always been so used to supporting himself alone, so that he can take the initiative to confide his discomfort to himself. One can imagine how uncomfortable he must be?

"Come on! Come on! Is Mr. Liu at the house?" Seeing that this man was so weak and his mind was slack, Xiao Cen became more and more confused.He supported Chu Linqiu to lean on the head of the bed, and took off his coat with his own hands, wanting to see what happened.After a while, he saw that Chu Linqiu's left arm was wrapped with several layers of white gauze, and blood was still oozing from it, just like a winter plum.

"This... this is me..."

"You bit me, Lord Hou." Chu Linqiu sighed, "When Chu entered the execution room, he saw that Yun had died in Huangquan, and you were in a trance..."

"What?! He's dead?"

"Master Hou doesn't know?"

"How did he die?" Xiao Cen held onto Chu Linqiu's wrist tightly again, his brows were furrowed, his expression...somewhat confusing.At this moment, Mr. Yun's hoarse shout flashed before his eyes: "Young general! Don't you want to know the truth about the old general's death?" Suddenly he "saw" himself pacing in the execution room looking for a weapon at hand, "Wait It's just for selfish reasons."

"How...how did he die?"

"Sealing the acupuncture point with a silver needle is roughly the same as the previous method of death."

"This..." Xiao Cen's heart gradually sank.Yun was in the death penalty room, so he was silenced naturally, but what is frightening is... how could the other party sneak in there to complete his mission without knowing it?Even if Xiao Cen has lost his mind, how can he avoid Chu Linqiu's eyeliner?How to get out of the body?
