During the second watch, the courtyard was quiet and the moon was as cool as water.
"I'm hungry." You Miao said.
Li Zhifeng got up to serve the clear porridge, opened the food box, there was a little side dish inside, he put the clear porridge on the small stove to warm it up, You Miao stood up in a daze, and leaned on the table to see Li Zhifeng's back.
The aroma of rice porridge spread, You Miao cheered up and pulled it with chopsticks, Li Zhifeng suddenly noticed something, stood up, and the window pane was gently knocked.
You Miao: "Who?"
Zhao Chao: "Me."
You Miao froze in her heart, and hurriedly got up to open the door. Zhao Chao came in, looked at Li Zhifeng, and whispered, "You... you are such a heavy punch."
Li Zhifeng said, "What are you going to do?"
You Miao said: "He didn't come to fight, Li Zhifeng, please help me to watch the door inside, don't let anyone come in."
Li Zhifeng was still not at ease, You Miao said, "It's okay, listen to me."
Li Zhifeng left the room and sat in front of the screen outside, raising his head from time to time to look at Zhao Chao.
It turned out that everything during the day was acting, and You Miao was dumbfounded. Zhao Chao motioned him to sit down, and You Miao sat down. Zhao Chao was beaten by Li Zhifeng until his left eye was bruised and medicine was applied to the corner of his eye, while You Miao was beaten by Zhao Chao until his right eye was bruised and put on some ointment.
The two looked at each other, and neither of them spoke for a long time, but at this moment, You Miao really understood everything.
After a long time, Zhao Chao let out a long sigh, bowed and pulled You Miao's hand, buried his face in his hand, and kept rubbing it, You Miao felt as uncomfortable as being cut by a knife.
"Brother lost the battle." Zhao Chao whimpered: "The lives of 100,000 soldiers are gone. I killed 100,000 people..."
"One hundred thousand lives..."
"I'm sorry for their small family..."
Zhao Chao's voice suppressed anger and pain, like a desperate young tiger. With tears in his eyes, You Miao took Zhao Chao in his arms and touched his back.
After a long time, Zhao Chao finally calmed down, and You Miao said, "What medicine did you apply?"
"It's in the military that you are beaten." Zhao Chao said, "Li Zhifeng, you beat yourself up well. I wanted to act in the morning, but luckily I didn't say hello to you first. It's interesting enough, the whole Guozijian knows it. The gang of bastards from the Six Books also have to know."
"You are acting." Li Zhifeng said.
Zhao Chao hummed with satisfaction.
Li Zhifeng glanced back and ignored him, leaning in front of the door and looking at the moonlight in the courtyard.
You Miao found the ointment and said, "Wipe it off, apply this to me."
Zhao Chao got up and wiped the medicine with a towel. You Miao picked some ointment to apply to his eyes, gave him the ointment, and said, "Does it still hurt when you hit your head against the wall?"
Zhao Chao put away the ointment and replied, "I slept for a while in the afternoon, please ask the doctor to prescribe the medicine. It's much better, have you eaten? I brought you something to eat. Li Zhifeng, come and eat too."
Li Zhifeng didn't speak, and glanced at You Miao.
You Miao said, "Leave half of it for him. Let's eat first. I'm starving to death, and I've had an unpleasant headache all afternoon."
Zhao Chao patted Youmiao's head and said, "It's okay, I'm afraid you will be angry."
You Miao said angrily, "It's because of you that I was so angry that I thought how could I have changed so well..."
Zhao Chao laughed, You Miao sighed again, and divided the porridge into half of Zhao Chao's bowls. Zhao Chao washed his hands and tore the fried chicken in half, wrapped one half in oiled paper and kept it for Li Zhifeng, and the other half. It was torn into pieces by You Miao and dipped in the porridge.
"What are your plans?" You Miao asked.
"You have to go out before the crown prince ascends the throne." Zhao Chao said: "Otherwise, you will only have to wait to be killed by him. Don't be burdened by me. If you act like this today, you are afraid that Li Yan will suspect you. So swaggeringly went to eat his invitation. Originally, I was afraid that I would not perform enough. Today, I was beaten by Li Zhifeng, and now no one doubts that you and I have turned your face. By the way, can you be the champion? "
You Miao smiled bitterly and said, "You want to crush me to death."
Zhao Chao said: "I saw that when you wrote the letter, the article was well done. The gentleman you were with was Sun Yu. When my father and emperor demoted him, he would often talk about it in the harem, but he wanted to save face and refused to call him back to Beijing... "
You Miao said: "I know that Mr. is not small, but it has nothing to do with me."
Zhao Chao: "Why doesn't it matter? When he sees your article, he will ask you who taught you. If you say it's Sun Yu, he will pay more attention if he can't say it. Sun Yu is a political advisor, and the emperor wants to compensate him. "
You Miao nodded, with a hint of worry in his eyebrows, and said, "I also think I can pass the test. The palace test is a bit mysterious."
"No matter if you can try, even if you fail the test, you will stay in Beijing." Zhao Chao said, "I know you have to go to Beijing this year, and I will give you a clear plan. Listen first and keep it in your heart. ."
Zhao Chao kept his voice very low, and said seriously: "Right now, coming to Beijing, our brothers have nothing and no support, so it's all up to you."
You Miao: "I'm very nervous when you say that..."
Zhao Chao: "Don't be afraid, it's up to you to curry favor with Li Yan. If you don't curry favor with them, we won't be able to move an inch in the courtroom."
You Miao: "I think so too, but where should I be? Will Li Yan take care of me?"
Zhao Chao: "As long as you listen to him, he knows that we have turned our heads. You are Sun Yu's student and you can please my father. It's too late for Li Yan to spoil you, but you can't follow the prince, otherwise you will be arguing with Li Yan. Yan's pet, understand?"
You Miao nodded slowly.
"If my father asks you to be the prince's servant, you must not agree." Zhao Chao said: "Once you agree, you will be in trouble. When you have no power or power, you have to fight against Li Yan in advance."
You Miao started to have a headache again, and said, "Then your father and brother are interested in me, should I ignore them?"
Zhao Chao said: "If you don't speak, it will be done. My father only wants to make alchemy and seek longevity all day long. The prince sees you as tough and won't come to force you."
You Miao said, "What's next?"
Zhao Chao said: "One more step, one step at a time, I haven't thought about the next thing, Li Yan will win you over if you don't agree, and you will follow him. If there is any arrangement, I will find you in private. We have to find a way to get Nie Dan back first. With him, everything is easy to talk about. I was too conceited. I thought that Gaoli would win the battle, but I didn't expect to fall into their trap. , killing so many people..."
You Miao: "Nie Dan is with you, so the Crown Prince is not afraid of him?"
Zhao Chao said: "He doesn't dare. Few people dare to provoke Nie Dan now. He can only hold an official position to suppress him, and he still has to rely on him to guard the frontier."
You Miao had a fearful thought in her heart and whispered: "What do you want to do? Do you want to… "
The two were relatively speechless, Zhao Chao gave him a head and said, "Are you an idiot? Even if I want to get the prince to become an emperor, can Nie Dan agree? That guy is loyal and protects me. I won't touch the prince's finger."
