Ye Yang slept in the imperial study all afternoon, and was woken up by Feng Luan at dinner time.
In the afternoon, Kang Ning specially instructed the imperial kitchen to prepare some nourishing dishes for the body, but the Imamiya people served dinner, which filled almost the entire table, and they were all royal tribute items that were rarely seen outside, even if Ye Yang had already After living in the palace for such a long time, I have seen a palace banquet once, and this is the first time I have seen so many good things in one breath.
Ye Yang felt that his tears flowed out of his mouth unsatisfactorily. The palace servant added tableware and chopsticks. He sat down and waited for the eunuch beside him to prepare dishes. Feng Luan raised his hand to ask those palace maids and eunuchs to retire.
This move in the palace is too outrageous, and Feng Luan has always been very courteous in the palace. The several palace servants looked at each other, and they were afraid of the emperor's punishment, so they hurriedly withdrew, and Kang Ning also retired together, Feng Luan took the He picked up Ye Yang's bowl, filled him with soup, and said, "This time out of the palace, I feel that the way a civil couple gets along is inversely more loving than in the palace."
Ye Yang: "..."
Ye Yang really didn't want to pay attention to this dog emperor who didn't know what was going on in his head. He ate a few mouthfuls of rice and looked up to see Feng Luan putting a small bowl full of soup in front of him, with a small section under his sleeve. The wrists and carpal bones were thin and protruding. Compared with the past, Ye Yang couldn't help but stunned and muttered softly, "You also need to eat more."
Feng Luan paused for a little while serving him, and the smile on his lips deepened. He said softly, "I know, you don't have to worry."
After he finished saying these words, several numbers suddenly appeared on his body, and the bright red appearance completely startled Ye Yang.
"Feng Luan's favorability rating +20, the current favorability rating is 353"
Ye Yang: "..."
The chopsticks in Ye Yang's hand fell.
What's the matter! When did it break 300! ! !
He pondered seriously, the only place where he can add so many favors recently, he felt that there was only the accident that he really didn't want to recall...
At that time, he was restless and didn't pay attention to the change in Feng Luan's favorability. After that, he didn't think about it at all, and he kept avoiding it. He never thought that Feng Luan's favorability had reached such a terrifying height.
Feng Luan ordered the palace servants to change to new chopsticks, and took the initiative to hand them to him. Ye Yang was uneasy, and when he took the chopsticks, he accidentally touched Feng Luan's fingers, which made him slam his hands away, and was overly frightened. He usually stared at the top of Feng Luan's head, for fear that his favor would change again, but Feng Luan didn't know why he showed such an expression, he hesitated for a long time before speaking, and said, "It's just that I lost a pair of chopsticks, it's not a big deal."
Ye Yang's hands trembled and reluctantly comforted himself: "Yes, what a big deal, what are you afraid of."
Feng Luan then said to him, "After dinner, I will take you to Huguo Temple to meet him."
For some reason, Feng Luan mentioned this matter at this time, which filled Ye Yang's heart with the panic of seeing his parents.
"Since that incident, he is no longer willing to talk to me. Although I took you to see him today, it is hard to say whether he is willing to pay attention to you and me." Feng Luan said softly, "Except for me. , Over the years, the monks in the temple have taken care of his clothing, food, and daily life, and he doesn't tell them anything, just write down what he needs on a note, and then ask those monks to find him and give it to him."
Ye Yang: "..."
If he just listened to what Feng Luan said, he felt that it was not like Feng Yue was resenting Feng Luan, but more like he had some kind of mental illness and didn't want to be in contact with others, which sounded a bit strange.
"I will go to see him after a time interval, but so far he is reluctant to talk to me. The monk in the temple said that only when there are only a few cats he and he raises in the room, he will whisper to the cats. Just a few words." Feng Luan sighed, "Those monks thought he was a victim of evil, but I thought he should still hate me. If not, why would he torture himself like this?"
Sounds more like a psychological problem.
Ye Yang had to say: "You don't need to think so much..."
"I didn't think of it." Feng Luan put down his chopsticks. He obviously had no appetite. "When Wei Shi and Chu Heqian went to him, he was willing to talk."
Ye Yang: "..."
"Forget it, you'll understand when you see him later." Feng Luan shook his head and sighed, "I don't expect him to forgive me and take you there just for the promise of childhood."
Ye Yang felt that he had grasped the crux of the matter.
"A promise from childhood?" Ye Yang asked, "What promise?"
He looked at Feng Luan, but didn't want Feng Luan to look away slightly, as if unwilling to answer his question, he coughed lightly, and said, "It's not an important agreement..."
Ye Yang: "..."
This dog king! Why are his ears red
Something bad.
Ye Yang felt very bad.
But even if Ye Yang was terrified, he obviously had to go on this trip.
After he and Feng Luan finished eating, they changed out of the ordinary clothes for leaving the palace, and then took the carriage that Shen Shaoheng came for the two of them, all the way to Huguo Temple.
This Huguo Temple is in the capital, and there is a curfew at night, and there is no one else on the street except the patrolling officers and troops. Their carriages have Shen Shaoheng's tokens, and they go all the way unobstructed until outside the Huguo Temple.
The monks in the temple also got the news early. When they got off the carriage, they saw the abbot in the temple greeted the foreign minister and led them into the Huguo Temple.
Feng Luan entered the temple and first asked about Feng Yue's recent situation. The abbot said that Feng Yue was no different from before, and he still didn't want to talk to anyone, but he had more cats. The latest one was A mysterious cat, the abbot once heard him call that mysterious cat "Jinzhang". After speaking here, the abbot hesitated for a while, before he euphemistically said that the prince was only afraid that his mind had not changed, and Feng Luan's face couldn't help but sank again. a bit.
Ye Yang thought, the meaning of the abbot was that Feng Yue's heart of rebellion was immortal, so he named his cat Jin Zhang.
Ye Yang was speechless.
After all, he is also a prince, can't he even use the golden seal? People didn't name their cat Yuxi, so why didn't they die.
They arrived outside a small courtyard in the temple, which was already guarded by the Imperial Army. The abbot had just retreated, and Shen Shaoheng also stayed outside the house. Only Feng Luan and Ye Yang entered the courtyard together.
I don't know why the lights were not lit in the courtyard, only the pale moonlight was left on the ground, and the shadows of the trees swayed, inexplicably looking a little gloomy.
Feng Luanxu was worried that he was afraid, and whispered to him: "He doesn't like anyone in the courtyard, so no one lights the lights outside the courtyard at night."
Ye Yang nodded and whispered, "Just the two of us going in?"
If Feng Yue's rebellion does not die, wouldn't it be dangerous for Feng Luan to appear in front of Feng Yue like this
"He can't hurt us." Feng Luan said in a slightly guilty tone, "When he forced the palace, I hurt him, but now he looks like a cripple, and he can never hurt you or me."
Ye Yang couldn't help but nod his head.
The atmosphere in the hospital was too much like the scene of a horror movie, and he was nervous.
When they got outside, Feng Luan knocked on the door lightly. Ye Yang heard a sudden movement in the house, mixed with a few cat meows. Feng Luan then opened his mouth and whispered, "Ayue, it's me."
No answer.
Feng Luan had expected that Feng Yue would not talk to him. He waited for a while, then pushed the door and went in. There were a few cats standing behind the door. Like a horror movie, he subconsciously grasped Feng Luan's sleeve, Feng Luan's figure was slightly stagnant, he held his hand with his backhand, and brought him into the room together.
There was only a solitary lamp in the room, and two volumes of books were laid on the table, and behind the table, where the candlelight could hardly shine, there was a figure, most of whose body was hidden in the darkness, holding his arms in his arms. A black cat, with green eyes wide open and furry cocked, was breathing at them.
Feng Yue stroked the black cat's back, which somehow made the cat quiet, so he leaned forward a little, revealing half of his face under the candlelight. That face was indeed very similar to Feng Luan's, but with a full face He had a sick face, his complexion was as pale as paper, and the hands on the black cat's back were bony. Apart from the appearance of his nose, eyebrows, and eyes, there was nothing similar to Feng Luan.
And Feng Luan held Ye Yang's hand, stood more than ten feet away from him, and whispered to him: "I once promised you that if I meet you, I will bring that person to meet you."
Ye Yang: "..."
Huh, that's not really a good thing.
Ye Yang subconsciously twitched his hand, but Feng Luan just thought he was shy, he didn't want to let go, and Ye Yang didn't dare to make too much noise in this strange situation. Yue didn't even move, Feng Luan sighed softly, as if he didn't intend to reminisce, and said, "I have caught Wei Shi."
When Feng Luan started talking about business, he should have hit Feng Yue in the dead end, but Feng Yue still didn't respond, not even the slightest fear. back into the shadows.
"Jinghuai is bound to die, and Chu Heqian won't be able to live for long." Feng Luan said, "The guards are guarding each other, you haven't seen Chu Heqian for a long time recently."
The black cat in Feng Yue's arms has rubbed into his arms again, and even purred comfortably, but Feng Yue didn't say a word, as if they simply didn't exist.
Feng Luan frowned and looked at Feng Yue, but he couldn't see what Feng Yue was thinking at this moment. Feng Yue's quietness at this moment made him more and more flustered. He paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and then Continue to ask: "Do you know about the mother's queen?"
Silent.
Feng Luan asked again: "Did you make people do it?"
Feng Yue still didn't respond, but the black cat twisted his body and tried to jump off his lap. After a while, Feng Yue released his hand slightly and saw the black cat jumped out of the house. However, he was still in that position, motionless, Feng Luan's heart almost sank to the bottom, he sighed, and said, "That's it."
Holding Ye Yang's hand, he also walked out of the house, until he reached the door, Fang stopped, but did not look back.
"Ayue, do you still remember that when you were a child, Prime Minister Yun taught you and me a sentence." He whispered, "The prince breaks the law, and the common people are guilty."
Feng Yue was still hidden in the darkness, with no reaction at all.
"I have protected you for so many years."
Feng Luan paused every word.
"If it's really you this time, I will never show mercy."
…
Ye Yang was still worried until he left the Huguo Temple and got to the carriage.
He couldn't imagine how Feng Luan felt when he said those words to Feng Yue, and he didn't know how to comfort him. After thinking for a long time, he could only whisper to Feng Luan when he looked at Feng Luan who was looking as usual in front of him. : "Maybe he just doesn't like to talk, and it's not necessarily what he did..."
Feng Luan closed his eyes lightly and seemed extremely tired. Hearing Ye Yang's words, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I know Shaoheng told you about Ayue, but I think he didn't. tell you everything."
Ye Yang remembered the bad things that Chen Shaoheng and Chen Shaoheng had told him when he was still in Changzhou, so he nodded hastily, and thought to appease Feng Luan, saying: "Power struggle, if you don't hurt him, he will I hurt you, you didn't do anything wrong—"
"The person who poisoned the imperial concubine at the beginning." Feng Luan interrupted him, "It's the empress dowager."
Ye Yang: "..."
"Ayue regards the imperial concubine as a mother concubine, he knows the inside story well, if he did this, I would not be surprised at all." Feng Luan said, "As far as he is concerned, all this is what I and my mother owe him. ."
Ye Yang spoke after a long while and said, "But this matter has nothing to do with you."
Feng Luan smiled bitterly.
He seemed to have finally found an outlet to vent, and said to Ye Yang, "You must be wondering why I don't seem to feel sad at all when my mother passed away."
Ye Yang felt that he just wanted to talk, so he didn't answer, just waiting for Feng Luan to continue talking.
"The queen mother is strict with me. In the final analysis, between me and her, it is still not like a mother and son." Feng Luan leaned against the wall of the car and whispered softly, "When I was young, I used to punish and scold me. I don't know how many times I copied the Four Books and Five Classics. I even feel that I am just a tool for her to compete for power."
"But I can't tell the difference." Feng Luan closed his eyes, the past was vivid in his mind, but he couldn't tell clearly, "I was sick when I was young, and the queen mother would take good care of me, but I also know that she never took me as a child. Zuko is her child."
He still had a calm and calm tone, as if he was talking about something that had little to do with him, but Ye Yang felt uncomfortable hearing it. Shen Shaoheng said that when Concubine Feng Luan passed away, he was still young, the concubine was not favored, and the emperor did not If he likes them, it is almost the same as having no father's care, and the queen mother is strict with him. Does that mean that since the concubine passed away, he doesn't even have a mother.
At any rate, Feng Yue regarded the imperial concubine as a mother concubine, which meant that the imperial concubine treated him extremely well, and the elder brother protected him in every possible way. Even if he had rebelled against him, Feng Luan still kept him alive.
Feng Luan hid Feng Yue covertly for so many years, simply because he kept cutting off the blood and kinship. He extravagantly begged that his younger brother still had a trace of brotherhood hidden in his heart, but in the end, Feng Yue just hated him.
"It's strange to say, I don't feel sad." Feng Luan was smiling, "These days, I just couldn't help thinking of what the Queen Mother said in the past."
"This deep palace is an abyss that eats people, and no one can get a good death."
Ye Yang had mixed feelings in his heart, he wanted to speak, he wanted to say goodbye, but when Feng Luan said such a sentence again, he closed his mouth and patted Feng Luan's hand lightly, he really didn't know what else to do. Speaking of comfort.
Feng Luan has already continued.
"Now that I have lost my mother and my younger brother," Feng Luan said, "it's really a 'lonely family' to leave the emperor here."
Ye Yang: "..."
Feng Luan was slightly startled, turned his head to look back, and saw Ye Yang scratching his head, as if he couldn't think of any words to comfort him.
"What are you talking about, the lords and the ladies, I'm so old and I'm sitting on this pestle, can't you see it?" Ye Yang couldn't help but say, "What does it mean that there is only the throne, isn't there me?"
The carriage finally drove into the palace, the palace lanterns outside were bright like daytime, and the light gauze curtain penetrated into the two people, but Feng Luan's face was in shadow, Ye Yang could only faintly see him blinking slightly, and he didn't know what to do. Was it because of his dazzling eyes, the end of his eyes seemed to be a little red, and after a pause, Feng Luan suddenly took his hand and took him into his arms.
At least this time, Ye Yang didn't want to struggle.
Feng Luan hugged him tightly, burying his head on his neck, clearly across the layers of the clothes, but he still felt a faint heat in his heart.
He could only try to convince himself in his heart.
The good buddy's stepmother just passed away and broke up with his brother again. In this case, a man should comfort him!
After a while, he finally heard Feng Luan speak in a muffled voice, as if muttering to himself, but he could hear it very clearly.
"I am lucky to have you."
…
Ding.
"Feng Luan's favorability rating +100, the current favorability rating is 453"
"Solemnly declare"
"The favorability of the character Feng Luan in the book is about to break through the first-order critical value. Please be careful with your words and deeds. The system will not be responsible for any consequences that occur after the critical value is exceeded."
Ye Yang: "..."
What are you talking about! ! !
Can it be better!
