For nearly a month, Bai Lanshi couldn't go there because he was nestled in the house. With Qi Huan cleaning it several times a day, except for sneezing from time to time, he never suffocated again.
The sun that had not been seen for a long time shone on his body again, which made Bai Lanshi a little unreal.
The weather is getting hotter, and Bai Lanshi, who has changed into unlined clothes, is much lighter.
Bai Lanshi and Qi Huan sat in the pavilion blowing the wind, Qi Huan restlessly teased the koi carp in the pond, the koi carp's tail slapped the surface of the water making noise, "Brother, look, is it angry?" Qi Huan lay down On the pole, he laughed so hard that his canine teeth were exposed.
Bai Lanshi picked up the teacup and said calmly, "The carp in this pond are as old as your grandfather's generation, are you sure you want to tease them?"
Qi Huan smiled mischievously, and scattered all the fish food in his hand, and the koi rushed to the surface of the water one after another, just to grab a bite of food.
Qi Huan patted the remaining fish food on his hands and sat down beside Bai Lanshi. Bai Lanshi took a handkerchief moistened with tea and pulled Qi Huan's wrist to help someone wipe it carefully.
Qi Huan just watched quietly, with a smile in his eyes.
When Shuyan came, Bai Lanshi happened to let go of Qi Huan's hand.
The book made a bow, "His Royal Highness, Young Master."
"Why are you back?" Bai Lanshi casually threw the handkerchief on the table, but Qi Huan picked it up and put it in his sleeve.
Shuyan acted as if he hadn't seen it. Although he knew the relationship between the two, it was far less shocking than witnessing it with his own eyes. After thinking about the incident, he looked serious, "Sir, a corpse was found outside the city, it was yours."
Bai Lanshi frowned and looked at Qi Huan, Qi Huan ate a piece of pastry like a normal person, "Shu Yan, you go to Lu Yan, tell him what happened, and take him to recognize someone."
Shuyan responded, turned around and left, with a bit of a soldier's temperament.
"You know about the third prince collaborating with the enemy, Qi Huan." Bai Lanshi said.
Qi Huan nodded indifferently, "Not only was he cooperating with the enemy, I also know that he ordered the left servant of the household department to do it in the frontier battle." Qi Huan turned to a bright smile, "But my brother helped Huan'er get the support of the household department, I was afraid that Qi Jingrui would be so angry that he would vomit blood."
Qi Huan understood the current situation better than anyone else, but he didn't want to tell his brother that he just wanted to avoid those filthy names when getting along with his brother, which would tarnish his brother.
Bai Lanshi sighed, and rubbed Qi Huan's head, "It's good that you understand clearly, I'm afraid that you will be calculated if you don't understand clearly."
"Brother is so kind to Huan'er." Qi Huan asked his fingertips with the hand that signed Bai Lanshi, and Bai Lanshi propped his chin and said, "Ye Xiao got the evidence at that time because of Ye Yuanfeng's son in Dali Temple. Ye Xiao is a A man of courage and strategy.”
Knowing what his brother meant, Qi Huan said, "I will pay attention."
Qi Huan lived in the Changqing Mansion indirectly, and Fuzi stayed in the palace to take care of everything and maintain the normal operation of the palace.
Lu Yan just came back in the evening, and with a dusty body, he stood still two feet away from Bailanshi, and glanced at Qi Huan who was peeling thin-skinned walnuts.
"It's okay, let's talk." Bai Lanshi said.
Lu Yan nodded, "It is indeed our man, named Ji Tian, who is a spy lurking in Prince Heng's Mansion."
"How did you die?" Bai Lanshi said.
Lu Yan said with an ugly expression, "There are many beating wounds on the body, and the fingers were cut off one by one. The death was caused by strangulation of the neck by a thin thread."
"Give it a good burial, do you have any family members?" Bai Lan asked.
"No, it's an orphan."
"Go down."
Lu Yan backed away, Bai Lanshi closed his eyes for a while, and Yoshida had a little image in his mind, short and blushing at every turn, the more Bai Lanshi thought about it, the more blurred the impact in his mind.
"Brother." Qi Huan, who had been silent all this time, opened his mouth. When Bai Lanshi opened his eyes, he saw a piece of peeled walnut kernels. Qi Huan held his hands and looked at Bai Lanshi and said, "Huan'er peeled it, brother?"
Bai Lanshi took a symbolic bite, rubbed Qi Huan's hands and said, "Does it hurt to peel?" Qi Huan shook his head and said with a smile, "Is brother still sad? Is it because Yoshida died?"
"What makes me sad is not that people are gone." Bai Lanshi pinched a piece of peach kernels and fed them to Qi Huan, who obediently opened his mouth and ate them, "People are mortal, and when I pay him money, his life is already gone." , I am sad that he was tortured in such a cruel way in front of him."
Qi Huan's eyes darkened, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, "Brother, if you are sad, Huan'er will be sad too, so brother, don't make Huan'er sad, okay?"
Bai Lanshi pampered Qi Huan's still baby-plump cheeks, leaning his head against his head and said, "Okay, how can I let Huaner feel sad."
Qi Huan blushed when he shouted Huan'er, hugged Bai Lanshi down and kissed him fiercely.
Always being eaten to death by Qi Huan, Bai Lanshi's heart is as soft as cotton. It was impossible for him to show sadness or sadness in front of Lu Yan or other people when encountering such things in the past, because Bai Lanshi knew that they would also feel sad. Sad and heartbroken, this requires a calm person to preside over the overall situation, and crying in groups is a stupid thing.
But Qi Huan is different. He doesn't know who Yoshida is, and he doesn't even know how many people there are in Xuanji Pavilion. He treats the passing of some people with an indifferent attitude towards others' affairs. Huan showed his state of mind in front of him, so that he would not go back and affect others.
Sleeping is a way for some people to avoid problems, while for some people sleeping is a good time to recharge their batteries and mend their emotions.
It was the next morning when Bai Lanshi fell asleep, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Qi Huan tiptoely taking the court clothes from the shelf, turning his head louder and looking towards the bed, meeting Bai Lanshi's hazy eyes.
"Brother is awake." Qi Huan let go of his movements, and his waist straightened instantly.
Bai Lanshi nodded, put his hair on his back and lifted the quilt out of bed, took Qi Huan's clothes and helped him dress, "I slept for a while."
"My brother has been sleeping from the afternoon until the morning. If Lu Yan hadn't said that my brother would sometimes be lethargic, I would have been scared to death." Qi Huan thought of turning over at every turn last night to check if his brother was still breathing, for fear that he would not wake up from sleep.
Bai Lanshi helped Qi Huan tie his belt, hung the jade pendant on the belt, ran his fingers across the tassels and said apologetically, "I didn't expect to sleep for so long, I won't do it next time." He pecked on Qi Huan's lips .
The clothes have been put on, Qi Huanchang put his arms around Bai Lanshi's slender waist, and kissed him on the forehead, "Brother, wait for me to come back."
After Qi Huan left, Bai Lanshi had nothing to do, only felt that the early morning was extremely long, why didn't he feel this way before. When Rong Le came in, he said with a smile, "My lord is awake, I want to eat."
"Use it together when Qi Huan comes back." Bai Lanshi took the hot towel from Rong Le and wiped his face casually, "Why haven't you seen the princess come to see Qianqian recently?"
Rong Le held the washbasin and said, "I haven't seen the princess before, why don't you ask His Highness King Rui, Your Highness should know."
Bai Lanshi nodded, "Well, I'll stay for a while soon."
Rong Le made a promise and left.
When Qi Huan came back, he brought a sachet, Bai Lanshi smelled the fragrance of orchids, and asked, "Which girl is this?"
"Qi Xiaoya." Qi Huan sat cross-legged before taking off his court clothes. The grace and grandeur of the court clothes set off Qi Huan's handsome features, quite majestic like an emperor, but the moment he spoke, he exposed his coquettish nature.
"After the court, Ya'er sent someone to stop me, saying that the sachet was given to Wu Qianqian, and she embroidered it herself." Qi Huan saw Bai Lanshi holding the sachet to look through it, and jealously snatched it away. Come over, "Brother likes it, Huan'er will help you embroider one too."
Bai Lanshi shook his head and smiled, "It's not that I like this sachet, I'm just curious about how good the princess's embroidery is."
The sachet was not embroidered with any mandarin ducks playing in the water to express love, but a simple orchid, which matched the smell and looked much more elegant.
"The queen mother detained Ya'er in the palace, saying that she wanted to pinch her temper." Qi Huan said, "Qi Xiaoya's temper is too reckless, she doesn't look like a princess."
Indeed, ordinary princesses can't do such things as climbing over walls, no, normal people would not casually climb over walls of other people's houses.
"Brother, it's not convenient for me to give this sachet to Wu Qianqian." Qi Huan said, and put the sachet on the table. Bai Lanshi would call Rong Le, Rong Le took the sachet and said with wide eyes, "Master, this...I'm afraid that Sister Qianqian will be angry."
"Tell her that if she doesn't like it, return it sometime and don't damage it. Don't worry, Qianqian is not an unreasonable person." Bai Lanshi instructed.
Rong Le had no choice but to take this task, "My lord needs to eat now."
"Ok."
"Is brother waiting for me to eat together?" Qi Huanhuan asked with a smile as he passed his waist.
"I just think it's boring to eat alone." Bai Lanshi put his hand on Qi Huan's interlocking hand and said, "If one day you are not by my side, I'm afraid it will be tasteless."
Qi Huan tilted his head and kissed Bai Lanshi hard on the cheek, "I will always be with my brother, even if my brother thinks I'm annoying, I will stay by my brother's side."
"How could I dislike you?" Bai Lanshi said with a smile.
The days went by day after day, and His Majesty suddenly announced in July that he would no longer go to court early, and that he would go to the Imperial Study if there was anything to discuss.
The ministers who had been there kept silent about His Majesty's situation after they came out, Bai Lanshi sent different people and never pried their mouths open, only felt that a storm was coming.
During this period, some unscrupulous people took this opportunity to start searching for windfalls. If one person dared to do it, the rest followed suit. The government and the opposition seemed to be peaceful, but in fact they had begun to rot.
People are different from utensils, they can always be repaired and repaired if they are broken. Once people get the bad habit of greed, they will be like this one that is rooted in the bones. It is useless to dig meat and scrape bones.
Qi Jing looked for Bai Lanshi during this period, and he could see that his eyes were covered with bruises, and his eyes were full of red blood. It seems that he has not had a good life recently.
Bai Lanshi loves Qi Jing from the bottom of his heart. If he lives in an ordinary family or a courtier's family, he will be much happier than living in an emperor's family.
Bai Lanshi helped Qi Huan seize the throne without selfishness, but he never felt guilty towards anyone.
Qi Jing, the eldest prince of Daqi, is kind and responsible. He will fight back when the enemy invades, but he never takes the initiative to attack others. In the prosperous age, he must be a wise king, but now Daqi is suffering from the enemy, what he wants is not someone who only knows how to defend the king.
The third prince, Qi Jingrui, and Bai Lanshi privately think that this person is a brave and resourceful person, who can collude with the enemy country to deal with his own country. As a king, he is not strong enough, and as a subject, he is too despicable. It is impossible for him to use the hands of the enemy to harm his compatriots. It is impossible to make him emperor.
Bai Lanshi wasn't sure he knew everything about Qi Huan's character, but he believed that Qi Huan would not have any major problems when he ascended the throne and had himself by his side to assist him.
Great changes have taken place in the court, Qi Huan is like a normal person, except for going out from time to time, he basically sticks to Bai Lanshi's side.
Bai Lanshi looked at Qi Huan, who was practicing guns in the yard, his jacket was hanging from his waist, revealing his strong body, the sun shone brightly on his sweaty body.
Qi Huan casually wiped off the sweat that was about to drip from his eyebrows with his hands, trotted to Bai Lanshi's side, picked up the water that Bai Lanshi drank in one gulp, sat down and wiped the tip of his gun with his precious hands.
Bai Lanshi naturally wiped the sweat off Qi Huan's forehead with a handkerchief, "Are you tired?" He filled the empty cup with water and handed it to Qi Huan's mouth, Qi Huan took a sip and said, "My brother is looking at me, how can I be tired."
"Qi Huan, I have a bad premonition." Recently, Bai Lanshi has always been flustered, vaguely feeling that some things are beyond his control, and the feeling that he has never felt before makes him very uneasy.
It's more about fear, fear that something will happen to Qi Huan, and he will not be able to protect him.
