"Father-in-law, are you blaming the truth?"

"How dare our family!" Rin De flicked the dust to make him make a beating, "Here, my lord, the Lord is waiting for you inside!"

"It's hard work!" Zou Yan pushed open the door completely and walked in.

In the dimly lit room, the brazier placed in the center will not go out. Hongxu sat in the silhouette of light and darkness, looking at Zou Yan who was walking in with an unpredictable expression.

"Chen, see your Majesty!"

After seeing no movement for a long time, Zou Yan was still kneeling, only sparks crackling in the silent room.

"Prime Minister Zou, if I have never remembered it wrong, you are the veteran of the two dynasties, and there are already twenty-three sons in the dynasty!" For a long time, Hong Xufang spoke slowly.

"Yes, Your Majesty. The old minister is fortunate to be appreciated by Your Majesty and the princes!" Zou Yan said casually.

"If this is the case, do you know why my father fell?" Hong Xu asked flatly.

"Secret matter of the first emperor, the minister dare not say anything!"

"I allow you to speak frankly!"

"Xianhuang was depressed and collapsed?"

"Why depression?"

Zou Yan closed his mouth and looked up at Hong Xu in silence.

"Then I ask you, did you come to Xiahe Palace the day before Prince Beiling disappeared?"

"Yes!"

"What did you say to him?"

"... Your Majesty, although you are a proton, you are still the grandson of the North Spirit Emperor, but now you are serving as my king. As a son-in-law, you are embarrassed, and as a descendant and grandchildren!" Zou Yan resolutely repeated it verbatim.

Hongxu was furious, and immediately started shooting the case, "Such a proud person, you actually said something like this to him? Zou Yan, where are you?"

"The minister's move is entirely for the sake of your majesty. Is your favor for the prince Beiling, it may be just a whim in the eyes of others, but the minister sees it sincerely, your affection has far exceeded the limit that an emperor should have? The emperor can be sentimental but not concentrative. Once concentrative, it becomes a culprit. It is precisely because the elders of the two dynasties have witnessed the emperor’s tragic feelings that the minister will speak to stop him. If your majesty wants to blame, the minister has nothing to say!"

"Okay, very good!" Hongxu Yi-n looked at Zou Yan, who was neither humble nor arrogant, and suddenly swept all the inkstones on the book table to the ground, "What a prime minister Zou who keeps thinking about me! It’s really for my sake, how can I force my beloved away so that I can endure this kind of heart-wrenching pain!"

"Your Majesty calm down!"

"Get out, get out of here now—"

"... Yes, the minister retire!" Seeing Hong Xu who was so out of control in front of his courtier for the first time, Zou Yan had to retreat.

Hongxu kicked over the book case, and his anger filled the whole X_io_ng voice.

But, Li'er, no one makes me more angry than you! Just because of other people's gossip, you can go so decisively by leaving a sheet of paper and the two words "Don't search"! Is your affection for me so superficial

……………

It was still early, and there was only a hint of whiteness like a fish belly on the gray horizon, and it seemed from a distance that a stitched wound had formed at the junction of water and sky.

Er Niu took the bamboo pole and walked to the river, unfastened the hemp rope tied to the stake, and then rolled up his trouser legs and jumped onto the very crude and painted boat.

This Er Niu ferryed for his sick father. Originally, there were few people crossing the river in this big winter. Besides, the old man was caught in the wind and cold, and Er Niu told him to rest for a day. How could he expect that stubborn old man would not be willing to live and die, saying that there might be one today? The important person wanted to cross the river, and he just got up to ferry. Erniu couldn't, so he pushed his father back on the bed and said, "Come on, you can rest for a day. I will ferry for you!" He didn't give up until he said that.

Er Niu used the bamboo poles to prop up the river bank and pushed it away from the shallows, and then shook the oars and drove to the small ferry downstream. Look, there is no one, even the grandfather who opened the tea stall hasn't come yet!

Er Niu leaned on the ferry to tie the ropes, rubbing his hands that were red with cold, even if he was young and strong, he was shivered by Zao Shuang, not to mention his skinny father on weekdays. In fact, Er Niu had long asked his father to stop ferrying. You said that he is in his 50s, so why bother to come here and suffer this crime? Don't you think you can't support him

Was thinking, suddenly

He heard a kick of the horse's hoof.

Er Niu looked up and saw that two people were driving towards this side on the river road. Only when I got closer did I see that they were two young sons.

One of them, who looked a bit longer, saw Er Niu, but his brow was frowned. He only heard him coldly open his mouth and said, "Where is Zhang Youdi?"

Er Niu was stunned and opened his mouth for a long time before he woke up and realized that what the young man asked was his father Zhang Youdi.

"Uh, my father is sick! He has a cold!" Although he is not happy that this young man called his father's full name so disrespectfully, but in him... how to put it, it is embarrassing. Under his eyes, Er Niu didn't dare to complain and had to say it straight!

Young Master Tsing Yi eased his brows, and then jumped off his horse.

"Are we going to cross the river?" The childish young man behind him suddenly asked.

Er Niu looked at the salary of about seventeen or eighteen years old. His face was not beautiful, at best it was more delicate, but when Er Niu's gaze touched his face, his heart jumped inexplicably. Those eyes are really beautiful and tight, black and bright, and they are as watery and agile as they can speak.

"Yeah!" The young man answered.

The two jumped into the Erniu boat one after another, and the surface of the three people stood on the boat, which seemed a little crowded.

"You two stand firm!" Er Niu reminded aloud after he untied the twine.

The babbling joystick led the three people away from the ferry, and the lonely boat floated on the water like a leaf.

"Draw out the bay to the surface of the river!" The young man suddenly said.

"Huh?" Er Niu thought he had heard the wrong ear for a while, "Out of the river? There is no sand island nearby! Son, did you remember the wrong place?"

The young man turned his head and glanced coldly and said: "If you ask you to stroke, you will stroke, so much nonsense, be careful that I cut your tongue!"

A shivering, why is this person so vicious! Er Niu obediently closed his mouth, according to the words, drawn out of the harbor and headed towards the misty surface of the river.

"Strike to that mist of water!"

Even if I think it is necessary to speak to this young man, think about it, Er Niu still gave it up, lest he let the other party throw any malicious words.

Originally, he drew into the fog with the mentality that he would definitely run in vain, but who knew that when one head went in, he saw the scene that made Er Niu dumbfounded.

Surprising! Behind the mist, it turned out to be a lush island. After living on this river for more than 20 years, I never knew that there is an island here! And it's an island full of spring!

When they got to the shore, the two princes got off the boat. Er Niu was still surprised and did not come to his senses. He knew that he heard the young prince say: "Take our two horses! Go back and serve your father! Tell him that we don't need to ferry after our agreement is over!"

Er Niu held the bottle in his hand in a daze, and when he looked again, there was a cloud of mist in front of his eyes, and there was no shadow of an island!

This, could these two people be gods

"Wow, the island is gone, the son is gone, father, I met a god! Father—"

Zili looked at the naive boatman who was yelling while shaking the boat inexplicably, "Uh, what's wrong with him? What is the island missing? We are clearly standing in front of him!"

The holy medicine hand smiled indifferently, "I set up a circle around the island, this is just a blindfold! Let's go, my residence is not far in front."

Zili followed him into the green woods, passing by not only squirrels with big tails, chirping yellow oriole, fast-moving hares, and even cute little foxes.

"It's like a zoo! They are not afraid of life!" Zi Li sighed.

"Don't hurt them, they are naturally not afraid!"

Pulling the leaves aside, I saw an open field, the grass spread out like a carpet, occasionally dotted with purple wildflowers, and a small river running through it to provide plenty of water for the plants. And the gurgling river
