When Ling Yingchong was surrounded, he accidentally fell from his horse and broke his right leg. The incident became serious. The doctor said that he must stay in bed for more than three months, otherwise he might suffer from the root cause of the disease. This word spread to Ling Yingchong. In Emperor Yu's ears, even though he avoided many taboos about the fourth prince, he was very angry.
After all, this is at the feet of the emperor. The emperor's son was blocked by a group of common people and was injured. Isn't this slapping him in the face
So Emperor Ling Yu hastily summoned the crown prince and third prince into the palace in the evening.
As for the fourth prince, he was allowed to rest at home because of his inconvenient legs and feet, while the fifth prince naturally continued to be confined at home.
Yin Wenzheng changed into obscene clothes and planned to rest. After receiving the edict, he immediately changed into clothes and rushed to the palace. In the middle of the night, the imperial study room was brightly lit, and a row of court ladies and eunuchs kneeling outside heard the movement. Don't even dare to lift it.
Without Lu Yanfeng around, the outside of the imperial study seemed a little quiet.
"Wait a minute, Prince," Ling Xunqin's voice came from behind him, and he hurriedly came to his side and asked, "Father only passed on the two of us?"
He looked a little tense.
Yin Wenzheng gave a faint "hmm", and was about to pass him and walk in, when Ling Xunqin frowned at his performance, and said again: "I heard that the Crown Princess walked with the fourth son recently. It's very close, why didn't you go over and have a look?"
These words happened to touch on something that Yin Wenzheng has been thinking about for the past few days, he turned his head to look at him expressionlessly, and said, "What does it have to do with you?"
"It's just a kind reminder to the prince." Ling Xunqin saw that he was a little angry, but his mood improved. "Although the princess is a man, it is not unheard of in Hengguo that the man will be immersed in a pig cage... Forget it, it’s no different to say these things, but it’s just adding burden to the prince’s heart.”
Yin Wenzheng sneered and said, "Third brother, it's more comfortable when you shut up."
"you-"
Yin Wenzheng flicked his sleeves, and walked in without stopping.
Ling Xunqin was left on the spot by him, first he gave a cold snort expressionlessly, and then said with a sinister smile: "It's just marrying a thief, I don't know what to be proud of. A prince who will be deposed sooner or later."
In the royal study.
Emperor Ling Yu was pacing impatiently, and when he saw Yin Wenzheng coming in, he paused for a moment, slapped his hand on the table, and said, "Have you heard about the Chui Nan refugee?"
Ling Xunqin also rushed over after hearing this, and immediately said: "My son originally wrote the letter and wanted to submit it to the father, but I never thought that something happened to the fourth emperor's brother first."
"Ridiculous!" Emperor Ling Yu slammed the inkstone in his hand, and said coldly, "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, the son of the majestic emperor, would be injured by a group of stupid people! I don't know whether he is too stupid, or I, Daheng There is no one left!"
"Father calm down."
Yin Wenzheng and Ling Xunqin knelt down together.
"Father, I have already understood the general idea of this matter. This is the letter written by my son before, and please read it." Ling Xunqin raised the letter in his hand, and the eunuch took it over. He handed it to Emperor Ling Yu, and then he continued, "The root cause is that the officials and businessmen in the city of Chuinan colluded to occupy the land and illegally drive up the price of salt, which made the people impoverished. Come to Kyoto to complain."
"I know all of this," Emperor Ling Yu said with a cold face, "the reason why I called you two into the palace is to choose the best one out of the two of you to go to Chuinan City to deal with this matter. I have stepped on my face, and I still don't do anything!"
That Ling Xunqin glanced at Yin Wenzheng subconsciously, seeing that Yin Wenzheng was not saying a word, and was very stable, he got up and took two steps forward, and said in a deep voice: "I would like to lead the order to go to the court Nancheng!"
At this point, Yin Wenzheng didn't even open his mouth.
Emperor Ling Yu looked at him inexplicably: "Prince, what do you think of this matter?"
Yin Wenzheng just said: "I will let my father decide."
Ling Xunqin frowned for some reason, feeling something was wrong. When he came, he was ready to be intercepted by others, but he never expected that Yin Wenzheng would do nothing—if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Could it be that Yin Wenzheng had other considerations
However, no matter how much Ling Xunqin planned to think about it when he went down, since Ling Xunqin was willing to accept this matter and no one else had any objections, Emperor Ling Yu left it to Ling Xunqin as a matter of course.
Yin Wenzheng heard a few more greetings from Emperor Ling Yu, then left the door of the imperial study and went home.
He didn't go back to his room, but wandered around Jiang Tangzhou's yard for several times before entering the yard. As a result, Jiang Tangzhou didn't sleep, and was playing blindfold chess by the lamp.
He was still hesitating whether to go in, when he heard Jiang Tangzhou's voice: "Would you like to accompany me to the next game?"
Yin Wenzheng's face lit up, and he pushed the door open without hesitation.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" Yin Wenzheng sat down in front of Jiang Tangzhou, calmly looking at the mess in front of him.
"I'm a little curious," Jiang Tangzhou said, "I'm curious about the outcome of what happened today."
"Actually, what the outcome will be has nothing to do with me." Yin Wenzheng said indifferently, "Just now the old man called the two of us into the palace, and I didn't say a word from the beginning to the end. This task was taken by Ling Xunqin go."
Jiang Tangzhou paused: "Since you have already decided to make a big fuss about it, why didn't you make a sound after it made a big fuss, why don't you just take it up yourself?"
"So you already saw it?"
"Take me to the street to watch a play for no reason, and I'm not stupid." Jiang Tangzhou smiled and said, "Besides, if there were not two voices provoking and rhythmic in today's street affairs, I'm afraid it wouldn't have happened. Such a disaster—those two people, are you looking for it?"
"Hmm," Yin Wenzheng squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "I should have guessed that you could tell at a glance."
"Since you're planning to make things big, and you want to settle the matter, why don't you take it yourself?"
"Wouldn't it be more interesting to watch a dog bite a dog?" Yin Wenzheng compared people to dogs without blushing, "I'm afraid Ling Yingchong had long wanted to uproot the forces behind Ling Xunqin, and I was just adding fuel to the flames. "
After Yin Wenzheng finished speaking, he used the power of a chess game to straighten out the chaos in Jiangtangzhou. This seemed to be an ordinary game of chess that couldn't be more ordinary.
"Ling Xunqin's mother's family is deeply rooted, and Chuinan City is one of the most important strongholds. If I try to uproot it, I'm afraid it will be too eye-catching," Yin Wenzheng said flatly, "This matter is now being handled by their own family. They took it away, and they breathed a sigh of relief, I'm afraid Ling Yingchong won't be able to relax, as for what Ling Yingchong will do... we'll just have to wait and see."
"Are you here again to trick the oriole behind?"
"Adding fuel to the flames is the best way to hide your identity." Yin Wenzheng raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Yin Wenzheng," Jiang Tangzhou lightly stroked the blind chess in his hand with his fingers, and continued after a while, "You seem to be very good at hiding. I'm a little curious now, what else are you hiding from me?"
"Don't worry that I won't tell you," Yin Wenzheng said with a smile, "I won't tell you now, it's just that the time is not ripe. But when the time is ripe, if you want to ask me anything, I promise to tell you everything."
"..." Jiang Tangzhou raised his head, "Don't try to trade your secret for mine."
"Why are you so cautious?" Yin Wenzheng chuckled, "But seeing you as a frightened bird is quite... cute."
The word "cute" fell into his ears, and Jiang Tangzhou felt a little embarrassed again. He frowned, and didn't say a word for a long time: "You..." Jiang Tangzhou sank, and then continued, "I'm not you Those people in the backyard, in fact, have something to say, don’t have to say it on me.”
Yin Wenzheng stretched out his hand and destroyed the game of chess on the table, leaned closer and asked him word by word: "Hey, where did the jar of vinegar get knocked over? Why do I smell a sour smell? Let me come here to help you!" Smell it."
Yin Wenzheng pulled the corner of his collar, pulled it lightly in his direction, and leaned closer to smell it. His breath traveled from Jiangtangzhou's earlobe to his neck, then to his Adam's apple, to his lips.
Like an unsatisfied little beast, he sniffed everywhere, wanting to mark his name in every place.
Jiang Tangzhou finally couldn't bear it any longer, covered his mouth with his hand, and said, "I'm a little tired, I want to rest."
Yin Wenzheng wasn't angry at all when his mouth was blocked by the other party. Instead, he chuckled lightly, opened his mouth and said vaguely, "Okay, then I won't bother you."
When he spoke, his thin lips brushed against Jiang Tangzhou's palm so lightly. The warm touch made Jiang Tangzhou feel as if his whole arm was numb, and subconsciously withdrew his hand quickly, even on his sleeve. He wiped it hard twice: "You..."
After Yin Wenzheng flirted with him, he withdrew coolly: "Good night, Ah Tang."
Jiang Tangzhou didn't even have time to respond, the door was closed, and the room was quiet, except for the disturbed blindfold on the table, reminding him who just came.
When Jiang Tangzhou was in a daze, he couldn't help thinking of the temperature of Yin Wenzheng's lips pressed against his palm when he spoke just now, of his hot air winding up from his neck just now as a climbing path, of his carelessness when he spoke, like a feather, Gently swept over his limbs, scratching a place that had never been moved before.
Something seemed to be different from before, but Jiang Tangzhou couldn't tell what was different.
Jiang Tangzhou tapped his forehead lightly, and with the scalding heat on his face, he stuffed himself into the soft quilt.
But at the moment outside the door, Yin Wenzheng suddenly stopped, leaned against the tree trunk, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch the corner of his mouth.
The superficial calm he had maintained calmly just now suddenly disappeared.
He tapped his lips with his fingertips, as if the temperature of Jiang Tangzhou's palm was going to burn his lips just now.
Jiang Tangzhou's expression of chuckling swayed in front of his eyes, and his curved eyes seemed to hook his whole body.
When Yin Wenzheng came to his senses, he realized that not only was his face flushed red, but also an unspeakable position...
