Early the next morning, Jiang Tangzhou heard a gossip from Ting Yu, saying that the third prince who went to Chuinan City last night encountered something on the road, and his body was covered in dense rashes, even in private areas. Never let go. Ting Yu himself felt more and more familiar as he talked, scratching his head and thinking, "Why do I feel like this happened before?"
Yan Qing covered her lips and said with a smile: "Some time ago, the Fifth Prince sneaked out and went to the brothel, and it was the same. Later, he said that he had consulted countless imperial physicians at home, but all of them were unable to cure Shi Wuling. I don't know what's going on now. "
"Tell me about these men, how come one or two of them can't control themselves!" Ting Yu said angrily, "Then who can't even forget this while driving!"
Jiang Tangzhou was drinking tea, and when Ting Yu said this, he almost spit out all the tea in his mouth: "You girl, why are you not shy at all?"
Ting Yu said "Hi": "What's there to be ashamed of?"
Yan Qing was also blushed by her open and bold character, and fell silent.
Jiang Tangzhou smiled helplessly, thinking that whether it was the fifth prince or the third prince, this tortured trick was clearly done by one person, and it was self-evident who that person was.
It's just that Jiang Tangzhou didn't expect Yin Wenzheng to hold grudges like this. Last night, Ling Xunqin just said a few bad words about him, so he put Ling Xunqin on the list. The news will be leaked, and most of this news was also passed on by Yin Wenzheng.
Furthermore, in this way, Ling Xunqin must have Yin Wenzheng's eyeliner by his side, otherwise the poison would not be easy to deal with.
Jiang Tangzhou felt more and more that Yin Wenzheng was unfathomable. Jiang Tangzhou had never seen any of the people around him, but they could help him collect news from the whole capital. Can't find it.
In the eyes of everyone in the capital, he is a "trash" prince who has no power behind him and is too flirtatious and useless.
They all felt that Yin Wenzheng was sitting in a precarious position and could pull him down at any time.
"Master, what are you thinking about?" Ting Yu stretched out his hand and shook it slightly in front of Jiang Tangzhou, before continuing, "Seeing that you have been thinking about it for a long time... Could it be, who are you missing?"
Ting Yu looked at him teasingly, it was rare for him to have the chance to tease his master.
The tea in Jiang Tangzhou's mouth was barely covered, and he, who had always been overwhelmed by Mount Tai, seemed to be in great mood recently.
Jiang Tangzhou sighed and asked her, "You girl, what are you thinking about?"
"My lord, what do you think I'm thinking about?" Ting Yu graciously mixed tea for his master, and said happily, "I can't see anything else, only that since my lord entered the Prince's mansion, the I have become more popular, and I am really happy for my father."
"You mean, I didn't look like a human being before?" Jiang Tangzhou looked at her pretending to be serious.
"Master, don't scare me, I won't accept your tricks," Ting Yu said, "Of course I didn't mean that, I just said, what happened to my former master, he didn't even raise his eyelids or blink, It seems that you have no other expressions except for smiling and frowning, but now you are more popular, and you will be angry and annoyed!"
Jiang Tangzhou was speechless for a while, then continued after a pause: "Do you really want to see me angry?"
"Master, you know that Ting Yu didn't mean that," Ting Yu said holding his face, "I just suddenly felt that the crown prince is pretty good, at least he is protecting you!"
"Oh - why are your ears so itchy?" Not far behind, he said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and Yin Wenzheng hadn't appeared yet, his voice entered everyone's ears, "It's rare, Ting Yu, a little girl who doesn't respect the Lord You even praised me a few words? Did I hear you right?"
"I have seen the prince."
Yan Qing on the other end bowed, Ting Yu reluctantly squatted down, and said: "The prince is joking."
"Come on, when you see you saluting so reluctantly, you might as well just stand there." Yin Wenzheng threw the jade flute in his hand to Ruojian behind him, and sat down—where was he? He didn't sit down, but squeezed to Jiang Tangzhou's side, "A Tang, I'm here to give you a message."
Jiang Tangzhou took a sip of tea and asked lightly, "What news?"
"There's something going on over there," Yin Wenzheng said, "It's estimated that we will do it in a few days. By then... your situation may be a little awkward, but it doesn't matter, I will definitely protect you."
Jiang Tangzhou said "hmm": "My position is embarrassing for sure. You don't have to take it too seriously."
Originally, when Jiang Tangzhou came to Hengguo, his position was very embarrassing. So he never cared about embarrassment.
It's just that he didn't expect that Yin Wenzheng would come here to explain to himself.
"At first I didn't want to affect you too much, but I didn't expect that I would inevitably drag you in in the end," Yin Wenzheng could not help showing a bit of worry.
Jiang Tangzhou smiled, and said, "I always felt that when you put forward those three conditions, you already thought about this step."
In Jiang Tangzhou's heart, Yin Wenzheng is by no means a kind person. He is careful at every step. I am afraid that as early as the moment the two of them revealed their identities on the roof for the first time, they have already thought about their next move. , What kind of chess piece will Jiang Tangzhou make in this game of chess.
"I admit," Yin Wenzheng lowered his eyes and said calmly, "At first I really just wanted to use you."
Jiang Tangzhou didn't ask him "now", because he didn't know whether he should believe it or not.
Yin Wenzheng continued on his own: "Ah Tang, whether you believe it or not, I was very conflicted when you said you were going to help me. I know you will be a powerful help to me, but I And... I am not willing to drag you into this Avici Hell together."
"You don't need to pull me," Jiang Tangzhou closed his eyes and whispered, "Because I am already in hell."
...
When I received Ling Yingchong's greeting card again, it was already November. Actually, it rarely snows in Kyoto, but on the first day of November, the first snow fell, and the white snow covered the vermilion tiles. The wall, in the world covered in silver, makes other colors eclipsed, but this touch of red is as dazzling as blood.
People say that auspicious snow heralds a good year, and the people in Kyoto are very happy, but there are some bad rumors in the palace, saying that "if something abnormal, there must be a demon".
But these things have nothing to do with Jiang Tangzhou.
He had been meditating in the prince's mansion for a month, and he had finally suppressed his restless heart before, but a greeting card from Ling Yingchong made him a little restless again.
Ting Yu rubbed the ink for him and said: "I heard that the fourth prince's legs are still not healed, and he still can't get up. At this time, please go to the mansion, do you have ulterior motives?"
"What other intentions can he have?" Jiang Tangzhou said lightly, "not to mention that he, a man with a broken leg, can't do anything to me. With his character, he won't do anything to embarrass me."
Yin Wenzheng heard these words again.
"What kind of personality is Ling Yingchong?" Yin Wenzheng walked in from outside the courtyard, slowly, making it unclear what his emotions are at the moment, "You know him very well."
Jiang Tangzhou said: "Are you busy today?"
Since Ling Xunqin went to Chuinan City, Yin Wenzheng spent more than half of his time in the mansion every day. He played chess and chatted.
Jiang Tangzhou didn't hate it, but I always felt that Yin Wenzheng might have ulterior motives, or was just planning something.
"Yes." Yin Wenzheng responded generously, and said with a smile, "Why don't I accompany you to the Fourth Prince's Mansion to have a look?"
"It's not necessary." Jiang Tangzhou felt helpless, "I'm not a child anymore, so why don't you even care about where I go?"
Yin Wenzheng said sourly, "Of course I can't control you."
Jiang Tangzhou heard what he meant, and didn't really try to coax him. It is true that the relationship between the two of them is much closer than before, but it is not to the point where they can control each other's whereabouts.
So Jiang Tangzhou didn't respond to him.
Yin Wenzheng waited for a while, only to wait for a moment of silence, a little annoyed: "Don't think that Ling Yingchong is a good person."
Jiang Tangzhou took the chess pieces slowly and said, "Whether it's you, me, or him, it's all... the same."
Although Yin Wenzheng was a little angry, he had to admit that what Jiang Tangzhou said was quite reasonable.
But he can't nod.
So Yin Wenzheng rolled his eyes and said, "We are not the same as him."
"Hmm..." Jiang Tangzhou pondered for a moment, "From the perspective of birth, it is indeed different."
Yin Wenzheng was so choked that he was speechless for a moment, and the smell of acetic acid on his body filled the whole yard: "So you mean... you like Ling Yingchong?"
The purpose of this question was too strong, but it made Jiang Tangzhou a little hesitant-if you like it, you naturally like it, but it's not that kind of like.
If Ling Yingchong were a friend, he would be a very good confidant. It's a pity that they were on two different ships from the beginning, so they couldn't even be friends.
From the moment he said goodbye, Jiang Tangzhou was using him.
Sometimes seeing his expression, Jiang Tangzhou wondered if he had made the wrong choice. In fact, even he himself hadn't figured out why he wanted to help Yin Wenzheng—the reason he used to convince himself became the three things he promised the other party.
But in fact, even without those three things, if Jiang Tangzhou was forced to choose, he would still choose Yin Wenzheng.
Even he himself doesn't know why.
Jiang Tangzhou pondered for a while, then answered, "What do you think?"
Yin Wenzheng: "..."
Without Yin Wenzheng's answer, Jiang Tangzhou could even imagine the other party's mood at the moment.
He covered his lips and coughed twice, and said: "I sent a message saying that I'm going to visit the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and I'm leaving now."
Yin Wenzheng sat as firmly as a mountain, not moving.
"Are you going to be with me?"
"Is it possible?" Yin Wenzheng used to climb up the pole.
"What do you think?" Jiang Tangzhou asked him again.
Yin Wenzheng stopped talking again.
Jiang Tangzhou suddenly felt that Yin Wenzheng sometimes asked questions that he couldn't answer, and he found a way to refute them back.
