The rain had almost stopped in front of the building, Cang Ji raised his head when Jinglin put away his umbrella, and looked at the clouds and the wind was still whistling, and said, "Who will be sent from the Nine Heavens
"Wu Ying can be in charge of one party before receiving the seal. In the Nine Heavens Realm, there must be noble people to be like this." Jinglin squatted the umbrella lightly and said, "This matter is not small, even if it is not the drunk mountain monk, there are you and me. received."
The two of them stepped up the ladder, and saw the lanterns at the entrance of the ladder were wet with rain and dripping water. Jinglin turned around the fence and went to Chu Lun's door one after the other with Cang Ji.
"No one." Cang Ji wiped the lock and pushed the door open, "The fragrance of the pen disappears, this little demon is already prepared."
The decorations in the door were still the same, and Jing Lin put his hand on the belly of the teapot on the table and said, "It's not long before the residual heat dissipates. I can catch up."
Le Yan held her breath and waited for a while, convinced that Jing Lin and the two had left, and just got out of the bed and dragged Chu Lun out.
"Be careful? Be careful!" Le Yan pushed Chu Lun, "Are you alright? What's wrong with you?"
Chu Lun was hot, and said vaguely, "Don't panic."
"Why did it suddenly become like this." Le Yan pressed against his forehead, "It was fine before bed."
Chu Lun was cold and hot, his face was not good, and his legs were too weak to move when he lay back on the mattress. Le Yan hugged his legs onto the couch, hurriedly covered him with a quilt, and said sadly, "Since you entered Beijing, you have been ill from time to time, and you can't stand it."
Chu Lun put his hand on the back of Le Yan's hand and said, "It's okay, in the future, there will be a salary to receive every month, so there is no need to worry about the money for myrrh."
Le Yan said: "Tonight there is a lot of trouble in the palace city. If the emperor has three strengths and two weaknesses, what would you do?"
"The Hanlin Academy has been nominated, and I can't go wrong." Chu Lun turned over with effort, facing Leyan, and said, "Wait two more years, after taking office, we will be able to have our own courtyard. You are here every day. Among them, you can do whatever you want without worrying about the eyes of others.”
Le Yan was slightly excited, but quickly turned into a slump. He leaned his head close to the hands of the two of them and said, "But I'm nervous, and I always feel bad."
Chu Lun flicked Leyan's voice with his fingertips and said, "You are clearly changing your life for me, but you are making yourself suffer day and night."
"Your worries are mine." Le Yan said, "...but I'm still very scared. The Division of Boundaries is guarding all places in Zhongdu. I'm worried that sooner or later, they will notice that you and I are in a relationship."
Chu Lun said, "No matter what, you and I will always be together."
Le Yan was apprehensive and just nodded.
I was listening to a stone falling from the roof, and a series of broken sounds were smashed, and finally melted into a laughter.
Cang Ji knocked on the door and said, "Is it here this time?"
Le Yan was shocked, and when he looked back, he saw that Jing Lin was already standing by the door. He got up immediately and said, "Why do you bother to entangle me, Your Majesty!"
"Who is pestering you?" Cang Ji picked up the pot and poured tea, and said, "Tell me clearly, it's clearly why you bother to deceive people in circles, and I'm running around with Jing Lin."
"I..." Le Yan propped up the edge of the bed and said, "I have told the truth..."
"This is up for discussion." Jing Lin said coldly.
Le Yan gritted his teeth and said, "Zuo Qingzhou is dead! This matter is powerless to return to the sky, even if the emperor investigates, he will not be able to save him!"
Jinglin put the umbrella aside and said, "So what?"
Le Yan blocked Chu Lun and finally cried, "So please, Your Majesty, let us go!"
Jinglin was silent and didn't answer, watching him cry with red eyes, Chu Lun coughed more and more. Compared to the first time he saw it, Chu Lun's illness had penetrated deep into his bone marrow.
However, Cang Ji threw the teacup, sat on the table and watched Le Yan from a distance, and said, "Let you go? You saved your sweetheart, but you made the fox feel unbearable."
"People's life spectrum has a number of life and death. If you save one, you must die. I was forced to make this decision, but I did not deliberately murder Zuo Qingzhou." Le Yan said, "I would like to live for one life."
"People are already cold." Cang Ji said lightly, "It's too late to talk about fate now."
"This matter started because of me." Chu Lun stood up strong, "If it is said that I will die, it should be me... Please..."
Jing Lin raised his finger, and Chu Lun's voice stopped abruptly. Seeing him make a move, Le Yan couldn't help staggering back, watching him nervously. Jing Lin did not approach, but just stood there, and after the two of them quieted down, he said, "Stop talking."
"I ask you." Jing Lin's eyes were sharp, "How did you die."
Chu Lun felt that the room suddenly became cold, and he couldn't help shivering. The sound of rain outside the window was far away, and there was nothing around, leaving only Jing Lin's unwavering questioning. Chu Lun lowered his eyes and saw that the back of his hand had turned blue, he paused for a moment before speaking.
"I died in Tianjia twelve years." He said gloomily, "Autumn."
Chu Lun is not as Leyan said, lonely and dead on the boat. On the contrary, it is recorded in his life tree that he should have passed the exam in the 12th year and entered the Hanlin together with Zuo Qingzhou. At the autumn banquet, he angered the emperor for his bold and outspoken advice, and was detained and imprisoned. , will die soon.
"Le Yan couldn't bear this, so he changed his life for me." Chu Lun looked sideways, "None of us would have expected that the person who died for me would be Xi Jing."
"I didn't expect it." Jing Lin said bluntly, "It's still tacit."
Chu Lun coughed, Leyan supported him, he wiped the blood with a handkerchief, and said to Jinglin, "Although Xijing and I are far apart, we are brothers. ?"
Jing Lin ignored it and just waited for him to continue.
Chu Lun rested for a while and said, "If I had known today, I would not have let Le Yan run around for me." His eyes flushed, "If I hurt Xijing, I really deserve to die."
"How could Le Yan, as a sage of Yining, fall into your hands." Jing Lin said.
Chu Lun and Jing Lin looked at each other, he covered his mouth, and said slowly: "... A few years ago, when Mr. Liu saw that I was poor and that I used a bald pen for so many years, I was willing to give up, so he gave me one, which is Leyan. "
Jinglin nodded clearly and asked, "How good are you and Liu Chengde?"
"Master Liu has a first-class character. Although he is in the court, he would rather be unyielding." Chu Lun said, "I and Xijing worked together to investigate a case, and it was only through Master Liu that we could find out today."
"I don't know something." Jing Lin suddenly jumped to the conversation, "You are a mortal, how do you know about your 'fate tree'."
Chu Lun paused for a while, and was about to speak, when he saw Jinglin's eyes were deep and unpredictable, he unconsciously paused. He coughed a few more times, his expression a bit cold.
"... Mr. Liu chatted after drinking, and told me when he was drunk."
"You also believe his nonsense after drinking." Cang Ji slapped the rim of his cup, enjoying himself, "The two of you are actually closer than expected."
Logically, although Chu Lun had the job of recommending him, it was Zuo Qingzhou who worshipped Liu Chengde. The friendship between teachers and students is not as good as the friendship of acquaintance.
"Liu Chengde told you about the life tree, and he gave it as a gift." Cang Ji stretched out his leg and said, "The relationship between the two of you is not only very good, it's almost like brothers and sisters. If there is a saint like him, I want it all. know."
Chu Lun said: "There is nothing more than sympathy for each other."
"He said your life tree, but didn't he mention Zuo Qingzhou's?"
Chu Lun forced a smile: "No."
"Lie." The words Jinglin stopped his coughing and said, "You not only know your life tree, but also Zuo Qingzhou's life tree. You all know, what are you hiding?"
Chu Lun suppressed his voice: "Seeing that the two of you are aggressive, you don't know whether it's good or bad, so I don't dare to answer lightly."
"You are indeed cautious." Jing Lin said, "The answer is watertight."
He learned that Zuo Qingzhou was unjustly killed in prison, and when he talked about it, he had tears in his eyes, but after talking about it, he returned to normal. What kind of friendship does he have with Zuo Qingzhou? It was he who said that he was in love with his siblings, and when his siblings died, how could ordinary people have the ability to cooperate so well. Seeing that his answers were fluent, although there was no arguing look, he picked himself up cleanly inside and out. Even if Jing Lin changed the subject abruptly, he could answer calmly and prudently.
"Shenjun's magic power is boundless, why bother us." Chu Lun coughed more and more, looked at Jinglin in Le Yan's strokes, and said sullenly, "I just saved a life, but I am still a sick seedling, since I dare not You can't fool the gods either."
"Your ambition is unfulfilled because of 'illness', and 'illness' is your original destination." Jing Lin said, "But since the moment Leyan usurped his life, your 'illness' has been cured, and you have been born again. Now that you have survived, why pretend to be sick again?"
Chu Lun's temples were wet with sweat. Le Yan mixed with him, puzzled by what Jing Lin said.
Jinglin said: "If the serious illness is eliminated immediately, it will make people suspicious. The matter has come to this point, and it must be done thoroughly. Since it cannot die, it is better to try to cover up the illness. Liu Chengde is afraid of Zuo Qingzhou, but he is not afraid of you. Because you are very sick, and seeing that your life is in the medicine pot, he has no worries, and you can do it smoothly. But he doesn't know that you are not sick in your body, but in your heart. "
"If you want to add a crime, why do you have no excuses." Chu Lun's lips choked with blood, he slapped the handkerchief and stared at Jinglin, "Because I am alive, the gods will definitely blame me?"
"I'm just guessing." Jing Lin took the tea from Cang Ji and drank it to moisten her throat, "You already feel guilty?"
"Xijing's death is outrageous, but that's not my order. I've never murdered anyone or anything!"
"Of course you don't." Jinglin touched Yu Nuan on the cup and said, "I have only held a sword, and I just realized today that the person who holds the pen is even better."
"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Le Yan muttered with a red nose, "Shenzhi has always been by my side, and has never harmed anyone... Even if it is a matter of changing my life, I will do it alone..."
"Because you were the one who killed." Jing Lin looked sideways, "It was Liu Chengde, the emperor, and the more unpredictable person behind him, but it was not him. He just learned about it by accident and didn't intend to prompt it."
"I didn't." Chu Lun clenched his handkerchief tightly, almost gnashing his teeth, "I didn't!"
"Then it has nothing to do with me." Jing Lin put down the teacup and really cut to the point, "I just want to know, who the hell told you about the fate tree?"
Cang Ji sat up straight and asked curiously, "Isn't it Liu Chengde?"
"Liu Chengde is on the surface, and he is already destined to be regarded as an abandoned child in the future. He knows it, and I am afraid that it is not as good as Master Chu." Ask Master Chu, who told you?"
