Yin Wenzheng ordered Xie Yi to be sent out of the mansion, Ting Yu looked at his back, but felt a little uneasy: "I always feel a little uneasy."
"Everyone has their own fate, instead of worrying about others, you might as well worry about yourself." After finishing speaking, Jiang Tangzhou lightly tapped Tingyu's forehead, and said, "Guang Xiaozhi is standing here, and the prince is coming down." After the court, he directly brought someone over, he must be very thirsty, and you don't know how to make a pot of tea for him?"
Ting Yu was awkward: "But there's no place for tea here."
Indeed, they were beside this small pond, except for the road and weeping willows, there was a small pavilion in the middle of the sparkling water, but it was a pity that they couldn't get there without a boat.
Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows and smiled: "There is a place to sit in the lake, and the boats are over there."
Ting Yu looked there, only to see a dilapidated thatched cottage, but after Yin Wenzheng said so, she quickly went there.
Sure enough, there was a boat behind the thatched hut. Although it was a bit too dilapidated, it was still usable.
On the pavilion in the lake, the surroundings feel brighter than the lakeside, as if the light from the scorching sun shining on the lake surface is coming back up, dazzling.
There was a scent of sweet-scented osmanthus in the air, but there were no sweet-scented osmanthus trees around. Jiang Tangzhou sniffed the smell, and Yin Wenzheng noticed his tiny movements.
"Behind the mansion is Mount Lu. There is a huge osmanthus forest one kilometer above Mount Mount. During this season, many girls and boys from Kyoto will go there to enjoy the flowers." Yin Wenzheng explained, "From It's very close here, and occasionally you can smell the sweet-scented osmanthus."
It was August, and the scorching temperature seemed to be somewhat dispelled by the scent of osmanthus that wafted into the nose from time to time, leaving only a faint fragrance.
"If you like it, I can take you to see it tomorrow." Yin Wenzheng held his tea and looked at him with smiling eyes.
Jiang Tangzhou's hand holding the tea paused slightly, and then he took a mouthful calmly, and asked calmly, "Is the prince so free?"
"Not idle, not idle," Yin Wenzheng let out a chuckle, "How can being with you count as idle?"
When he spoke, he was both true and false, sometimes true and sometimes false, which made Jiang Tangzhou a little unsure how to respond.
Especially when the other party makes such a joke.
Jiang Tangzhou sighed: "Prince, since you are making a deal with me, don't say such misleading words."
"Then did you misunderstand?" Yin Wenzheng only asked him.
Yin Wenzheng approached him step by step, pushing forward layer by layer, making Jiang Tangzhou unable to hide even if he wanted to, and unable to escape even if he wanted to, so he had to face him fiercely.
After a long silence, Jiang Tangzhou didn't speak, Yin Wenzheng tapped his shoulder lightly with the jade flute in his hand, and said, "I'm joking with you, are you angry?"
Jiang Tangzhou felt relieved, but there was an inexplicable sense of loss that followed.
He didn't know what it was, and didn't want to know.
"Let's have dinner together tonight." Yin Wenzheng stood up, "The boat is really worn out. If you don't want to go to that quilting mountain, but you like to stay here and smell the fragrance of flowers, I'll ask someone to make a new one for you."
"..." Jiang Tangzhou didn't know why, so he explained inexplicably, "It's not that I don't want to go to that quilting mountain, but I can't see anything, and it's just a waste of time to go."
"But you can smell it." Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows.
"Some smells can seduce people for more than ten years, but once they get closer, they will only make people feel cramped and rich." Jiang Tangzhou finally smiled, "This is called, far away fragrance and near smell."
"Then..." Yin Wenzheng rolled his eyes slightly, and said, "Should I not make this deal with you?"
The implication is self-evident.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't speak anymore, Yin Wenzheng stepped on the water and went directly to the lake, held up the jade flute and shouted: "I'll look for you at night."
Jiang Tangzhou didn't even open the empress dowager's letter, and directly burned it with wax.
Ting Yu was a little worried: "What if the old adulterer wrote something important in it?"
Jiang Tangzhou raised his hand and knocked her on the head: "You girl, what are you talking about. Pay attention."
Ting Yu muttered in a low voice: "This is an old adulterer..." Ting Yu paused, "If the queen mother finds out again, can she show you a clear way inside?"
Jiang Tangzhou sneered: "If you say this, do you believe it yourself?"
"I don't believe it." Ting Yu quickly shook her head, "If the old adulterer finds out, I'm afraid she can only be reincarnated."
Jiang Tangzhou had nothing to do with her, so he stopped correcting her, and said: "I can guess what she will write in this letter, and I don't intend to follow her instructions. Reading it will only cause trouble, so it's better not to read it. .”
"As expected of my father, you can even guess what the old adulterer is thinking!" Ting Yu gave Jiang Tangzhou a high hat.
"Okay." Jiang Tangzhou smiled and shook his head, "Go to the kitchen and see how the food is."
Yin Wenzheng said that he would come here for dinner tonight, even if Jiang Tangzhou didn't want to have dinner with him, but he said everything, so it's hard not to prepare.
Not long after, Ting Yu found some servants from the mansion to bring in the food. There was a big table full, and he couldn't believe that Yin Wenzheng didn't have enough to eat.
Jiang Tangzhou waited on the table first, but after about half an hour, there was still no movement at the other end.
Ting Yu asked: "Master, will he not come?"
"Wait for a while, if you don't come again, we will move our chopsticks first—"
"What am I waiting for?"
As soon as Jiang Tangzhou finished speaking, another familiar voice followed.
Yin Wenzheng changed into casual clothes, his face was like a jade crown, and his expression was relaxed. Behind him was followed closely by the woman whose name was ruojian, who was dignified and generous, growing lotuses every step of the way.
Ting Yu only glanced at it, then lowered her head and muttered in her heart.
"Tsk - such a big table of dishes?" Yin Wenzheng glanced at the table, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, someone handed him a basin of water to wash his hands. After finally sitting down, someone tidied up the loose robes for him.
Ting Yu muttered so softly that he could no longer whisper: "Hey—this style."
As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her eyes and saw Yin Wenzheng looking at her meaningfully. She was so frightened that cold sweat broke out all over her back, and she hurriedly lowered her head even lower.
Jiang Tangzhou couldn't see anything - he only knew that Yin Wenzheng was coming.
"Use your chopsticks." Yin Wenzheng said.
Ting Yu hurriedly stepped forward to prepare vegetables for her master.
As for Na Ruojian, she took the silver needle to try it on herself, that's all, after trying the silver needle, she has to take a bite by herself.
Ting Yu has never been able to bear this temper, so he said: "Miss Ruojian, this meal was served by people in your house."
Ruojian smiled softly, and explained softly: "I'm offended. It's just that this is the habit of the prince for many years. No matter where you eat, you have to try it."
Jiang Tangzhou also felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't say anything.
After Ruojian finished trying, Yin Wenzheng really moved his chopsticks, and at this time, Jiang Tangzhou was almost finished eating.
After Yin Wenzheng ate a few chopsticks, Jiang Tangzhou said that he had finished eating. Yin Wenzheng looked at him: "You don't have much meat on you, you'd better eat more." After speaking, he picked up some chopsticks for Jiang Tangzhou.
Jiang Tangzhou frowned: "I have had enough."
Yin Wenzheng was about to continue persuading him, but he saw a servant outside the palace running into the room like he was pissing off, shouting something like "report to the prince" while running, Yin Wenzheng picked up his chopsticks and planned to go to Jiangtangzhou. The things in his mouth stopped just like that.
"What's up?"
"Reporting to the crown prince," the servant kowtowed and said, "The man sent out by the servant before has returned, and he is still wounded all over his body, dying..."
"Xie Yi?" Jiang Tangzhou immediately stood up.
After Xie Yi settled down, Jiang Tangzhou breathed a sigh of relief, and thanked Yin Wenzheng, "Thank you, Prince."
"No problem." Yin Wenzheng waved his hand, "My Prince's Mansion is big enough, it's just for one person to live in, it's nothing."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jiang Tangzhou, and saw that he didn't seem to want to ask other questions, so he raised his eyebrows, and took the initiative to say: "It's just that General Xie was hunted down when he left the city, and escaped from death, Ah Tang. Why don't you seem surprised at all?"
"Surprised?" Jiang Tangzhou repeated his words and chuckled.
"Don't you want to know who killed it?" Yin Wenzheng asked, "Since this person has fought with Xie Yi, it proves that he also wanted your life."
Jiang Tangzhou paused for a moment, a dark light flashed in his eyes, and then said: "Knowing and knowing, it doesn't mean much. Could it be that I know, he won't kill me?"
Although what Jiang Tangzhou said made some sense, Yin Wenzheng still couldn't understand: "But you were able to kill him before he killed you."
These words were full of hostility, which made Jiang Tangzhou turn around and stop.
Yin Wenzheng shook his jade flute slightly: "I can help you solve it."
It was certain to cause trouble, so Jiang Tangzhou couldn't figure out what Yin Wenzheng was planning.
He was silent for a moment, and then said affirmatively, "You know who it is."
"Yes," Yin Wenzheng replied generously, "I know."
"It's you?"
"..." Yin Wenzheng settled the amount with a jade flute, "I know, but it doesn't mean I did it. Instead of doubting me here every day, you might as well try to trust me."
Jiang Tangzhou smiled: "I'm not stupid."
Yin Wenzheng sighed, "It's the third prince."
"How do you know?" Jiang Tangzhou really wanted to hear him say one, two, three, four.
"The fatal wound on Xie Yi's body was a knife wound. In such a huge capital, the most powerful sword wielder is the capable man under the Third Prince's banner, the Light Sword," Yin Wenzheng said, "I and the Light Sword There are also old grievances, although they are not fatal. However, if you want me to help you avenge this revenge, I can help you solve him."
After Jiang Tangzhou paused for a moment, he said, "Yin Wenzheng, do you know why I didn't ask you to help?"
"Why?"
"Xie Yi and I just met by chance, not even friends," Jiang Tangzhou stood there with a flat expression on his face, showing some indifference, "Even if he really died, I would only do it for a little bit of conscience." , to restrain the corpse for him. It’s not necessary to avenge him.”
Yin Wenzheng was stunned, but he didn't expect Jiang Tangzhou to say such a sentence.
This person, who seemed to him a bit of a virgin, suddenly collapsed in the image in his heart.
He pinched his temples, and said in an uncommonly dull way: "It's... is it?"
Jiang Tangzhou suddenly smiled and said, "As for trusting you..." He shook his head, "I won't. You and I grew up in the royal family, and you are the prince... You should know better than me. , Believe in others rather than yourself."
"Instead of wondering who hurt Xie Yi, I'm more curious why you chose to make this deal with me," Jiang Tangzhou guessed, "You want me to help you?"
Yin Wenzheng hadn't reacted to the turbulent changes in this person at the moment, and when he was asked this question again, he felt speechless: "Do you think you are very powerful?"
Jiang Tangzhou said: "If you don't recognize my ability, you probably won't make this deal with me."
"Why are you talking so much about deals?" Yin Wenzheng took a step forward and got very close to him, "Can't you think in other directions?"
"What?"
"For example, the relationship between you and me..."
"I'm just stating a fact." Jiang Tangzhou could probably guess what he would say next, and interrupted him pretending to be calm. "Originally, the relationship between you and me is just a transaction."
The expression on Yin Wenzheng's face changed several times, and finally he let out a long and helpless sigh: "That's all! Go back and rest earlier."
