Chapter 45
Inside the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this is a little favor from our king, please accept it."
The envoy of Yu Kingdom presented Xiao Fan with a folder listing the catalog of gifts, with a flattering smile on his face; a few steps away from him was the ruler of the Great Qi Kingdom, who looked much younger than their King of Great Yu , but the whole body exudes the same imperial air as their kings.
The room was suffocatingly quiet. The young man took the passbook from the guards beside him, looked at it casually, and finally raised his eyebrows when he saw the ending, a sneer rolled out of his throat, and he took the passbook without raising his head. He casually dropped it on the table.
The air froze for a moment, and the emissary felt an unspeakable suffocation, and the blood flowing in his body seemed to freeze; after a long time, the man on the dragon chair spoke slowly, with a cold voice, "Yu Guo is showing his kindness in every possible way. , just to ask for a name for a deceased person?"
There was a lot of irony in the words, and it was obvious that it was to embarrass the envoy of the Kingdom of Yu.
It's just that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. The messenger knew that Xiao Fan was expressing his dissatisfaction with the friction that occurred on the border between the two countries a few days ago, so he had to suppress his unhappiness, and after respectfully saluting, he wanted to explain again.
At this time, the guard standing next to the monarch suddenly walked towards the door, opened the door without receiving the emperor's order, and saluted the thin man outside the door seriously without opening his mouth.
The Messenger remembered him.
Just like the last time we met, the thin man seemed to be used to this kind of treatment. He nodded slightly and walked into the house. After smiling slightly at the monarch on the dragon chair, he went straight to the wooden chair by the window and sat down. Thinking about something, eyelash feathers cast small shadows on the eyelids.
"Where are the eyes looking?"
A voice as cold as ice resounded in the room, the messenger trembled, and looking along the source of the sound, he just bumped into Xiao Fan's eyes as black as ink, his heart trembled suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on his back almost instantly .
It's just a simple sentence, but he can be sure in every way that the person in front of him has murderous intentions towards him.
The strong desire to survive suddenly rose, the messenger immediately turned around and bowed to the man on the wooden chair, and said in a trembling voice, "I tell your majesty, the villain didn't know what to call the queen when he saw the queen, so he froze in place for a moment of panic."
No matter how expressionless a person is, the emotions in his eyes will not deceive people. Since the last time I met the messenger, I can see that every time this monarch looks at the man sitting quietly, there is a pair of eyes that make people dare not look directly. , actually full of tenderness.
He is not unfamiliar with this look.
Sure enough, the moment the word "Queen" was uttered, most of the suffocating sense of oppression in the room dissipated; after a long time, the young man on the dragon chair spoke again, "Sending a message to your king, this matter is guaranteed."
The last second he was worried that his head would fall to the ground, but this second he was stunned by the sudden good news. The messenger's words were choked in his throat, and Xiao Fan continued, "But he is not the lonely queen."
"He is a lonely lover."
"Why did you come so early? I thought you would sleep a little longer."
Xiao Fan got up from the dragon chair and walked towards Shen Mu. After sitting down on the wooden chair beside him, he reached out to hold Shen Mu's hand resting on the round table very naturally, wrapping his whole hand with his wide palm, A smile appeared on the corner of the naturally drooping mouth, and he continued, "Sure enough, the hands are not cold anymore."
Hearing this, Shen Mu raised his eyes and glanced at Xiao Fan, remembering the reason why someone wanted to help him "warm his hands and feet" last night, kicked his quilt off the ground, and then got into his quilt without saying a word. Usually hug him all night.
Not only can't he shake it off, but whenever he shows the slightest discomfort or unwillingness, someone will put his head into his neck pretending to be deaf and dumb, and hum softly aggrieved twice.
The hands were not ambiguous at all, and they mopped up the fire endlessly. In the end, neither of the two of them slept well all night.
"I was woken up several times by you, how can I still fall asleep."
Automatically ignoring Xiao Fan's question, Shen Mu let him hold his hand, looked at the radiant young man, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the young man was really strong, and asked in a hoarse voice,
"I'm going to Wanji Temple to visit grandma later, and I'll pick Ah Qing back by the way."
With the tragic experience last time, before leaving Mingcheng Palace, he didn't even worry about asking Jing Wen to spread the word, so he went to the Imperial Study Room without bothering him. Come and run.
Seeing Xiao Fan pondering for a moment, Shen Mu was afraid that he would directly order Jing Fan to push away all the government affairs in the morning, so she interrupted first, showing that she was only away for a short period of time and insisted on going alone.
It took a lot of effort to get away, and after leaving the palace, Shen Mu rode a carriage to Wanji Temple, and under the leadership of Abbot Ji, he came to the room where Grandma lived.
As Xiao Fan said, compared to the oppressive environment enclosed by high walls, maybe the quiet and peaceful temple is more conducive to the old man's self-cultivation; The benefits of eating fast and reciting Buddha's name every day.
Seeing that Shen Mu had found Granny Tian, she was also very happy, and dragged him to chat in the room for a while, and finally stopped when the little monk invited the two of them to dinner.
"Grandma, go eat first, I have something else to do."
After watching the man go away, Shen Mu walked around the old man's house, and finally caught a glimpse of a gray clothes corner behind the huge and thick wooden pillar at the corner of the corridor.
"Ah Qing, don't hide, come out."
As soon as the words sounded, the corners of the clothes trembled. A moment later, Ah Qing cowardly turned around, facing Shen Mu and carefully bowed.
That day when he asked Jing Yan to go to Wanji Temple to bring Ah Qing back together, Ah Qing expressed that he wanted to stay in Wanji Temple, Shen Mu couldn't let go, and decided to come back and have a look.
Seeing that the child had lost half a circle of weight visible to the naked eye in the past two days, and his pink and tender face was not as rosy as before, Shen Mu sighed silently in his heart; Ah Qing had a different meaning to him, as a To be the first person in this world, and to stand beside him unconditionally from beginning to end, to blame himself for being like this because of someone else's intentional frame, it must be a lie to say that he doesn't feel sorry.
"I'm here to pick you up today, and you'll come back with me later."
Grandma went to have dinner first, Shen Mu wanted to go back to the palace to accompany Xiao Fan but was not allowed, so after a brief farewell, he took Ah Qing Xiang back to the palace by the same route, but unexpectedly met Xiao Huan in the front yard of Wanji Temple.
The young man was still fluttering in his green clothes, but when he saw Shen Mu again, he didn't have the confidence and publicity in his eyes. Instead, he retorted subconsciously and instinctively, "I didn't follow you this time!"
Shen Mu Liangliang looked directly at Xiao Huan without opening his mouth, and finally heard the young man ask him after he stared at Mao, "Brother Huang really cut power this time, and the regent is indifferent, and even didn't say a word of excuse?"
"What's the matter?" Shen Mu smiled indifferently, and asked him back, "Not only did the Ninth Prince not refute, but he also didn't inform in advance when he clearly knew that the Chu family would suffer heavy losses."
"After all, this king is a descendant of the Xiao family, let alone cannibalism." Xiao Huan turned his head and glanced at Shen Mu without changing his face, "Not to mention that suppressing relatives is something every king would do. Puyu made a mistake first."
"Besides, this king feels that the emperor's handling is still reasonable."
"But the Lord Regent is different." Before Shen Mu could say anything, Xiao Huan turned his head to look, and for the first time showed expressions other than suspicion and sneer in front of Shen Mu, and asked in confusion, "What is the purpose of the Regent. "
"Also," he raised his hand again, pointing to the camellia hairpin inserted obliquely on top of Shen Mu's head, "I noticed it last time, isn't this the hairpin left by the emperor's brother and mother? -"
"What are you doing."
A voice that was so familiar that it couldn't be more familiar appeared behind, Shen Mu turned around, saw Xiao Fan who was supposed to be reviewing the memorial in the imperial study looking at them with displeasure, his heart skipped a beat.
The author has something to say: I finally finished the exam today, and the daily update will resume tomorrow, and I will work hard on the sixth day to try to make up for the previous few days qwq
