Xian Sheng fell asleep, but this night he had a nightmare again.
He dreamed that Zhan Zhen had gone to Qinlou, found a little white in a girl, and started torturing him with punishment when he came back. Then, the elder brother who had just entered Beijing was also sent to prison. In order to torture him, Zhan Zhen killed his elder brother in front of him.
"Sheng'er?" He was awakened, his forehead was wet with cold sweat, and he was in a daze for a while.
Zhan Zhen wiped his face and said, "Have a nightmare?"
"Hmm..." When Xian Sheng was sober, he was able to control his emotions. He looked at Zhan Zhen's gentle eyebrows, and it was hard to imagine what it would be like to raise a butcher knife to himself one day.
The night was confused, Xian Sheng slowly came over and buried his face in his arms. Zhan Zhen feels weak and feels sorry for his rare fragility, but he is happy because of his dependence. He touched Xian Sheng's head and gently hugged people tightly: "Don't be afraid. If you have nightmares in the future, you will bring the lonely in. , The orphan will take good care of Sheng'er."
Xian Sheng was amused by his words. How could there be such an easy way to say that he would take whoever he took in his dream
But he still softly agreed: "Okay."
There was no words for a night. Early the next morning, Xian Sheng woke up and suddenly heard the sound of sword blades passing through the air in the house.
He lifted the curtains of the bed, put on his shoes, raised his eyes and saw Zhan Zhen playing with a long sword in his hand. When he woke up, he said, "It was picked up by Qin Lou yesterday. Come and have a look."
"I don't know much about this." Xian Sheng poured himself a glass of water to sooth his throat, then walked towards him and asked, "How long have you been up?"
"The lonely man came back from practicing the knife." Zhan Zhen handed the sword over, and Xian Sheng stretched out his hand, but he shrank again: "It's a bit heavy, put it on the table."
Xian Sheng sat down and touched it carefully, only to feel that the body of the sword was white, but it was chilly, and he should drink blood frequently. He speculated: "This sword should have a good name."
"Sen Bai." Zhan Zhen said: "Have you ever heard of it?"
Xian Sheng shook his head and said, "I have grown up in Shen Gong for many years, and I don't know anything about the rivers and lakes."
"This is He Ermi's sword." Zhan Zhen's tone was light, but his eyes were deep. Xian Sheng raised his eyes to look at him, and suddenly understood who he was going to arrest yesterday. He gathered his mind and curiously said: "Qin Yi's den, have you all sealed up?"
"He has acted cautiously, only one thing has been exposed so far, the last time you were taken away."
"Are you going to kill him?"
"Your brother is about to arrive in Shangjing. In order to prevent them from meeting in private, you must act first."
"If they really will meet in private, wouldn't you just catch it?"
With his eyes facing each other, Zhan Zhen put his cheeks up and said, "If this is the case, your brother might be implicated too."
"My brother is at odds with Qin Yi, not to mention that now the overall situation is set, he will not join forces with Qin Yi."
Zhan Zhen looked at Xian Sheng quietly, and the latter also stared at him. Zhan Zhen suddenly stretched out his hand and touched his cheek. There were some traces of the place where he had bitten yesterday. He said: "The princess really feels that the overall situation is settled. Is it?"
Xian Sheng's expression did not change, but he quickly understood what he had not said. If Xian Sheng is calm, then the marriage between the two countries can really determine the overall situation. Xian Shang will not rashly join forces with Qin Yi to fight against the Da Jin, but if Xian Sheng has a secret and conceals it from Da Jin, then It was Dajin who looked at him and might be angry at any time because of his secrets. On the one hand, there was Qin Yi, a Liang man who loved Xian Sheng and couldn't ask for it. Xian Shang would probably choose to join forces with Qin Yi to smooth the matter before breaking it through.
It doesn't matter how to wipe it, but Zhan Zhen is now aware that he will inevitably react based on this incident.
He must determine whether his wife has a secret before Xian Shang comes to Beijing, which will determine how he treats Xian Shang who comes to visit relatives.
How clever Zhanzhen is, Xian Sheng sighed in his heart. He pushed himself to a desperate situation in just a few words, implying that he had reached a time of frank confrontation. He was tempting and pressing every step, but he gave him another kind of It seems that he is still thinking about the illusion of affection.
But how could Xian Sheng take the initiative to confess? If he said now, his brother thought he was going to Huangquan to visit relatives, but when things have reached this point, Xian Sheng is not good at telling his brother to persuade him to return, which is tantamount to admitting that he is hiding in disguise. secret.
Xian Sheng suddenly turned his head, avoiding his hand, and made an unhappy expression: "I have exhausted myself with you now, but you still said this?"
Zhan Zhen retracted his hand and was stunned for a while. Every time Xian Sheng retorted, he felt that he was wrong and had to say: "It's a lonely mistake. Let's eat something first."
Xian Sheng ate as little as ever, and fell on the recliner after eating, but suddenly someone came to the palace, calling Zhan Zhen.
Zhan Zhen put on the great cloak and said to him, "I think it's because of the Qin Tower yesterday. Father has something to ask."
"Be careful on the road." Xian Sheng didn't move, he was exhausted physically and mentally, but he was still holding on, his voice weak.
The low mood made him visibly sluggish. Hearing Zhan Zhen leaving, he slowly closed his eyes, feeling completely at a loss.
The footsteps left, but suddenly turned back. Xian Sheng opened his eyes subconsciously, and the recliner under him swayed because of being supported by Zhan Zhen. He was a little dazed: "Why suddenly, uh..."
The lips were kissed, Zhan Zhen panted slightly and left, and whispered: "To be honest, did you send a letter to Qin Yi yesterday?"
Xian Sheng blinked, as if being breathed suddenly, came back to life briefly: "No."
He has a clear conscience about this matter, “What I did in the Prince’s Mansion, you’re afraid it’s far clearer than me, Zhan Zhen... I haven’t deliberately obtained any information from your side. I’m not a fool. You even let me in the study. Enter, once anything happens, the first suspect must be me. With such a trap, do you think I will be fooled?"
Zhan Zhen's breathing eased, and he said, "I believe you alone."
Then he kissed him again, and coaxed: "Don't be unhappy, just look distressed."
Xian Sheng looked at him for a while, slowly lowered his eyelashes, and whispered, "Yes."
Zhan Zhen stroked his cheek. When he got up and left, Xian Sheng suddenly asked, "How long will my brother be here?"
"About early February."
There is still at least half a month.
In addition to meeting Zhan Zhen today, Emperor Jin also announced Zhan Jin. He probably wanted to ask him how he was under Jiang Qin. In order to prevent the Emperor Jin from seeing the clues, Zhan Jin especially put on a little white, barely able to see it. The characteristics of a little girl's house.
If Zhan Zhen was a sharp blade hanging over his head for him, then Emperor Jin was a guillotine cut down in an instant for him, and he had to deal with it carefully.
He followed Jiang Qin into the palace, but suddenly heard someone shouting: "A Jin!"
When he raised his eyes, his face instantly tightened. Jiang Qin saw his expression, then looked at his smiling face and said, "I have seen the princess."
"I came to A Jin to say a few words." Qing Rong's eyes were gentle, Zhan Jin pursed her lips, and there was obvious reluctance in her eyes. Before she could speak, Jiang Qin said: "Your Majesty has announced the two of me, I think so. If something is urgent, the princess may wish to wait until he comes out."
He was willing to help, but his face was clear and smiled and opened his mouth: "The prince is not here yet, the little general is in a hurry... It doesn't matter, if A Jin doesn't mind, I can say it here, just a few words. That's it."
Jiang Qin was waiting to respond, and Zhan Jin had already spoken: "Let's go over there and talk."
He could only stop and wait, frowning and looking at Zhan Jin.
Qing Rong followed Zhan Jin to a remote place, turned his head to see Jiang Qin's expression, and suddenly smiled: "It seems that the little general likes you."
Zhan Jin said lightly: "If you have something, you might as well speak up."
Qingrong's eyes fell on his bulging chest, and then he covered his lips and smiled: "What are you?"
Zhan Jin looked at her coldly, her Qing Rong slightly restrained, and said: "Why are you so upset every time you see me? A Jin, I have worked so hard to keep a secret for you. Think about it if you are Your Majesty knows that you are deceiving the monarch, even if you do not kill you for the sake of your flesh and blood, you will definitely be driven out of the capital. How can you avenge your mother and concubine then?"
Zhan Jin tightened her fingers and slowly said, "What the hell do you want me to do?"
"Will Xian Sheng be like you... wear a fake?"
"Don't be obsessed with ghosts anymore. The little emperor said that she is a woman, not to mention that the prince and her are in the bridal chamber. Could it be that he can't tell whether it is a man or a woman?"
Qingrong looked down. In fact, she knew in her heart that this was impossible. If it weren't for Zhan Jin by her side, she wouldn't think so much. Maybe because she hated Xian Sheng too much, she always hoped that he could be more wrong.
She threw this idea into her mind and said: "Your Majesty announced the prince today, and he will definitely ask Qin Yi about the progress of things. I have a way, maybe I can lead him out."
"Qin Yi is not that easy to grasp."
"Xiansheng is the best bait." Qing Rong disregarded Zhan Jin's complicated expression, and said: "If your majesty asks, you should look for opportunities to propose using Xiansheng as bait, and Qin Yi will definitely come out."
Her eyes were burning, but Zhan Jin was silent. At this moment, Jiang Qin's voice suddenly came: "See His Royal Highness!"
Zhan Zhen also surprised him with this loud shout, "What do you do so loudly?"
After he finished speaking, he found Jiang Qin signaled, and turned his head to look. Qing Rong and Zhan Jin were saluting here. He raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Go and see the emperor quickly."
He stepped forward, Jiang Qin followed up first, and Zhan Jin also trot to chase him.
Emperor Jin was testing arrows. He heard someone report that he put down his bow and arrow, and while wiping his hands, he said: "The arrows we hit this time are still not good. We still need better weapons, which can be used in the hands of ordinary soldiers. A powerful weapon."
He sat steadily, without greeting, and asked Zhan Zhen directly: "The one you did last time, how is it changed?"
"The firing range is too close, it won't work."
They chatted a few words at random, and Emperor Jin's gaze fell on Zhan Jin, somewhat surprised: "A Jin is so lofty, how about under Jiang Qin? Can you adapt?"
"Father Lao cares, everything is fine."
Emperor Jin also asked Jiang Qin a few words, and when he heard him praise Zhan Jin, he laughed loudly. There was Rong Yan on his face. Zhan Jin couldn't help but raised her lips slightly, a little happy.
The topic soon turned to Qin Lou's affairs yesterday. His expression became a little more serious, and he asked Zhan Zhen: "Is there any relationship between Qin Yi and Xian Sheng?"
"No." Zhan Zhen didn't hesitate: "She won't get out of the door, and she won't have a chance to touch this matter."
"Where are the two Liangren in her hands?"
"The people they contacted have also been checked. Most of them are people in the house. They are innocent, and Xian Sheng doesn't care about these things. Yesterday I went to Qinlou... Smell."
Emperor Jin's complexion eased, and he laughed again: "Well, she is also a smart boy. If she can handle it well, she will be a good wife in the future... You have such a sweet wife in your arms, why bother to run to that place?"
"Qin Lou is mixed with fish and dragons, and the sons and ministers are also going to do business."
"As for capturing Qin Yi, what are your clever tricks?"
Zhan Jin's eyelashes trembled, and Emperor Jin immediately asked: "A Jin has something to say?"
"No..." Zhan Jin weighed for a while and said: "I have no good way."
"Where is Jiang Qin?"
Jiang Qin handed over and said: "We have discussed the best way. Qin Yi is too cautious. He will never act rashly unless he uses the crown prince as a bait, but this matter is too dangerous and the prince has already rejected it."
Emperor Jin looked at Zhanzhen and wanted to say something, thinking of his daughter-in-law's flowery and jade face, and if the protection was not effective, it might hurt the royal face, and suddenly he understood. He sighed, asked some questions about the barracks, chatted intermittently, and let them leave.
Zhan Zhen and Jiang Qin walked ahead, and said to Zhan Jin: "When you come to the palace, let's go see the queen mother."
"Yeah." Zhan Jin agreed, bowed her head and left. Zhan Zhen watched him disappear and asked Jiang Qin, "What is so strange about her by your side?"
"Huh?" Jiang Qin recalled for a moment, and wondered: "What can be unusual?"
"It's strange to see her alone."
"She's your sister, how can you say that?"
Zhan Zhen ordered: "If you ask her to come to the Prince's Mansion in the afternoon, I will say that I have nothing to do with him."
Jiang Qin paused, frowning, and his voice softened: "What the hell happened?"
"Since you haven't noticed the strangeness, what are you worried about?"
Zhan Zhen looked over indifferently, Jiang Qin instantly felt as if he had become a transparent person, and said hurriedly: "It is indeed a bit strange, but I can't tell you... I just thought, if it's not hurtful, it's better to let her go, who can do nothing. Difficulty."
"Indulgence is not necessarily good for her."
He was noncommittal, Jiang Qin was a little anxious: "If the crown princess is hiding something innocent from you, do you have to ask the bottom line?"
Zhan Zhen stopped, his eyes turned deep, Jiang Qin continued: "If she is not bad-hearted, if she has no choice, if she is also full of grievances, do you have to be as aggressive as this?"
"Dare you say lonely and aggressive?"
"... I'm just an example." Jiang Qin said: "Think of her as a princess, would you still pursue her secrets so persistently?"
Zhan Zhen subconsciously stroked his chest. The hairpin was lying in his arms now. He touched the lines many times. He could remember its appearance without looking at it, remembering that it was taken off the splashed ink and blue silk, and the softness of the black hair. It loosened down and poured over the entire pillow.
He always thinks that Xian Sheng has a refined and elegant temperament, and it goes well with jade when he doesn't use Fendai. Of course, if he wears makeup, it is rare to match gold and silver jewelry in the world.
In his heart, the hairpin is a thing of love, and he always feels happy at first glance, but recently, he suddenly dared not look at it.
"His Royal Highness?" Jiang Qin peeped out something from his expression, and tentatively asked, "Could it be the princess, what's the strange thing?"
Zhan Zhen said coldly: "She can learn from the sun and the moon for her loneliness, and she also commits dangers because of her jealousy. But women's extravagance is normal, what's so strange?"
"Oh." Jiang Qin nodded in agreement with a side capital, "His Royal Highness is reasonable."
