Can Drink A Cup of Nothing

After sending away the soulless Shen Xinyue, Zong Luo returned to the bedroom.

In any case, this matter has finally stabilized for the time being.

Shen Xinyue said that she needed some time to think about it, and Zong Luo naturally couldn't refuse to give it.

After all, according to the original situation, in the early morning tomorrow, Emperor Yuan will issue a marriage edict. An edict, then nothing will turn around. Now that Shen Xinyue is willing to go back and talk to Tingwei, she can at least delay for a while, calm down, weigh the pros and cons and think about it.

He has told everything frankly and handed over the choice to Shen Xinyue.

As for the result after thinking about it... Zong Luo can accept it.

After standing under the eaves for a while, the prince dressed in white waved his hand and called forward the chief guard who had been guarding the outer corner of Yuchun Palace.

"His Royal Highness!"

The captain of the guard stepped forward, his face flushed, and he didn't know where to put his hands.

There are almost no people in the Great Yuan Army who do not worship the Third Prince. The captain of the guard is naturally a die-hard admirer of His Royal Highness.

"Just now... is there someone standing here?"

Zong Luo was very sure that when he was with Shen Xinyue just now, he had a startled glance, and the bright red he saw was definitely the corner of Yu Beizhou's clothes.

This man's red clothes are different from the others. It is not a warm red, but a dark red mixed with some dark colors. It is the same color as blood, or even darker. There is absolutely no second one in the crowd, and even if there is, it will not be able to wear the unique feeling of Yu Beizhou's flamboyant, wanton and unruly.

Those who practice martial arts have good ears and clear eyes, and as long as they use their inner strength, they can easily hear over long distances.

As long as he thought that what he and Shen Xinyue said in the pavilion might be heard by Yu Beizhou, Zong Luo's originally calm and stagnant heart was unstoppably stirred for some reason.

The guard recalled and said, "If you go back to His Highness, the King of Beining just stood here for a while."

A few moments ago, the captain of the guard met the King of Beining.

The latter did not hide it, but did not mean to let the servants inform, but stood there for a while. The captain of the guard was still a little curious. He glanced at it during his shift, and when he turned back, he only saw the back of King Beining.

"But the prince only stood here for a while. After seeing His Highness entering the pavilion with Miss Shen, he left with the palace servants who came to summon from the main hall."

Seems a little unhappy.

But the captain of the guard didn't say that.

Everyone knows that the King of Beining in Dayuan is moody and violent.

How can such a big man's idea be something that a small guard can figure out?

That means I didn't hear the words behind.

Zong Luo laughed in his heart self-deprecatingly.

Perhaps there were some inexplicable expectations before, but now it is dead again because of this sentence.

The words that I just said to Shen Xinyue... Zongluo could only say it once, not a second time, much less in front of Yu Beizhou.

Because his pride doesn't allow it, he doesn't need to explain it to anyone other than Shen Xinyue.

Zong Luo has always believed in fate.

Going around in circles, over and over again, in the end it's just a sentence.

"Okay, I see, you can go back."

Zong Luo was silent for a moment, and then he waved the head guard back.

After walking far away, the five-year-old man couldn't help but look back and glanced secretly.

The Yuchun Palace was covered with glazed blue tiles, and under the eaves whose tail was so high that it wanted to fly, the crown prince, who was full of frost, stood with his hands and hands. His body is tall and straight, like a pine and bamboo, and his handsome profile is shrouded in the shadow of the palace lanterns, showing a bit of inexplicable depth, noble and handsome.

For some reason, the captain of the bodyguard felt a little saddened by the highness who didn't eat fireworks even when carrying a sword.

How is that possible, that is His Royal Highness.

After regaining his senses, the captain of the guard quickly shook his head for his disrespectful thought, put the scabbard on his body again, continued to straighten his back, and stood guard meticulously.

......

The next day, Zong Luo got up early again.

Logically speaking, after becoming the heir, these days should be the busiest.

Not only did he have to follow Zao Dynasty, he also had to learn the politics of state governance with Emperor Yuan and meet with ministers.

A few days ago, Emperor Yuan personally spoke, saying that the prince is not in good health now, and the imperial doctor has told him to rest in peace, so in this small half month, he only needs to prepare candidates for the East Palace cabinet, and at other times he can blatantly fish for fish.

Zongluo didn't want to be so wasteful.

When the sky was still bright, he changed into a training suit and took Zhan Lu to the Merlin in the Imperial Garden to practice swordsmanship.

It can only be regarded as autumn now. Looking around, the plum trees in the plum forest are almost bare, and the cold sword energy flashes across the sword's edge, and with a single stroke, it can cut off dead branches a few feet away.

There was a commotion in the distance. Only then did Zong Luo withdraw, get up and return to the sheath, looking into the distance.

At this point in time, the morning has just ended.

Generally speaking, the ministers would not make a fuss in the palace during the routine morning court. Unless something major happened in the early dynasty, as soon as Emperor Yuan left, the ministers on the back foot discussed with each other in the hall.

Zong Luo had already confessed to Shen Xinyue yesterday, so it shouldn't be a matter of marriage.

So what's the matter?

Pushing aside the branches, Zong Luo looked over curiously.

At first glance, he saw the figure in red and white fur walking out ahead of the civil and military officials in front of the empty Golden Palace.

"Shh-"

The branches that were pulled away bounced back into place.

Zong Luo's expression suddenly turned cold, he withdrew his gaze, and walked away with Zhan Lu, without looking any further.

After he returned to Yuchun Palace to take a bath and changed his clothes, he heard the announcement from the palace staff that Pei Xiang asked to see him.

"Jin Yu!"

The Prime Minister in Tsing Yi hurried over, and the book boy who followed behind was still holding a stack of books.

After the witch sacrifice ceremony, Pei Qianxue was too busy to touch the ground.

The Prime Minister of Dayuan is in charge of government affairs, commanding hundreds of officials, with a golden seal and a purple ribbon, and his power is monstrous. Unlucky is unlucky for a diligent workaholic boss like Tanshang Yuandi, so that Pei Qianxue can't fish, every job must be connected, and there are signs of overwork at a young age.

The matter of confiscation of storage is a major event for the entire Da Yuan, and even more so for the imperial court.

On the bright side, the crown prince Gon Mian was put on Zong Luo, but in fact the handover behind him had to be implemented on different people. In particular, Emperor Yuan gave Zongluo a fake approval, so Pei Qianxue did all the things that Zongluo should take care of.

Of course, Pei Qianxue would not be unwilling to help Jin Yu more. It's just that he doesn't have so much time, such as taking time to meet Zong Luo.

Originally, Pei Qianxue should have talked with Zong Luo after the ceremony of establishing the reserve, and asked clearly why the wooden sign was shining. As a result, he was dragged abruptly to two days later, taking advantage of the juncture after the end of the morning court, and rushed to Yuchun Palace in a hurry.

Faced with doubts, Zong Luo just smiled: "I don't know much about this either."

The golden light on the wooden sign meant that he was definitely of the blood of the clan. In addition to Yu Beizhou's remarks... Do you want him and Pei Qianxue to explain that it was because he and the real prince exchanged blood with each other that the wooden sign was not detected?

Sure enough, Pei Qianxue didn't have any doubts, but said with emotion: "Jin Yu said that day, like me, this is the result of a dream. Maybe this can be regarded as a warning, the dream is the opposite of reality. It's just a Ordinary dreams are not precognition dreams, nor are fairy dreams. In the end, we are too serious, and we are all soldiers."

"Sorry, Jin Yu, blood is the most important thing. I didn't test it and let you know. Fortunately, I didn't miss the big thing, otherwise I don't know how to meet you."

The hand under the sleeve robe suddenly tightened.

"No, it's none of Axue's business. As soon as there's an emergency, Axue will miss me. It's too late to thank you. How could I blame you."

Of course it's not about Pei Qianxue.

Because the fact is that he is not the prince of Da Yuan, but he is just deceiving the world.

Seeing Zongluo's reluctance to talk under his smile, Pei Qianxue naturally wouldn't continue.

He quickly changed the subject: "Just now, I went up early, and a big event happened. The King of Beining suddenly asked himself to lead his troops to the front line. His Majesty immediately agreed and ordered him to lead the troops immediately."

It turned out that the noise just now was the first shot of the battle against Weiguo.

Yu Beizhou was the first to leave in front of the civil and military officials because he immediately led the troops.

Zong Luo couldn't help but frown.

Not long after the Yu Kingdom was captured, there were still quite a few Yuan soldiers behind in the capital of the Yu Kingdom, and the loot was transported to Dayuan by cart by cart, and the incorporation of the Yu soldiers was only halfway through.

The best time to fight against Weiguo should wait until a few months later.

As a general, it is impossible for Yu Beizhou to not be aware of this.

It's not right to ask for a fight at this time, not to mention the fact that Emperor Yuan agrees, which is extremely absurd.

Zong Luo's mind was full of news of the battle, and he almost didn't hear Pei Qianxue's second half of his words.

"...I heard that His Majesty intends to marry Jin Yu today. The other party is the granddaughter of the Tingwei family. Is this true?"

Pei Qianxue did not know how much foreshadowing, and after deliberation for a long time, she turned to the question she wanted to ask the most, and said nervously.

Since yesterday, the marriage edict has been quietly lying in the most conspicuous place on the Zhanggong table. Not only Pei Qianxue, but almost all of the courtiers that Emperor Yuan met caught sight of, and Emperor Yuan didn't mean to hide it, so it spread all over the city.

If it was in the past, Pei Qianxue might have dared to let go and tell the truth.

However, since his beloved friend became the prince, Pei Qianxue was delighted and proud of his close friend, but he also understood that those unseen thoughts will never be revealed again.

He is Emperor Yuan's confidant, a well-known Qing official, and a minister with high hopes, and he will also assist Jin Yu in ascending the throne in the future. Pei Qianxue couldn't say whether it was public or private.

But now this look...not even qualified to let the people in front of him know. You even have to watch the person you admire get married. Rao is that no matter how much Pei Qianxue can bury his mind, he will not be able to restrain himself from losing control.

Zong Luo finally came back to his senses: "There is this matter, but I have already made it clear to Miss Shen that there may be changes in this matter. In the end, it depends on the success of the father and the emperor."

Pei Qianxue breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously.

He knew that this kind of thinking was too despicable, but he couldn't control it. At the end, he just smiled bitterly and said, "I will speed up the selection of the East Palace ministers list in the past few days. After the final decision is made, I will send it to Jin Yu."

"Okay, hard work Axue."

Looking at Pei Qianxue's back, Zong Luo fell silent again.

At this point in time, Yu Beizhou should have finished the ordering of troops long ago, and had already led the troops away.

It's also good, the battle of Weiguo, plus the road in the middle, can't be won in half a year. After half a year, everything in the imperial city has been settled, and he no longer has to think about what is right and wrong, love and hate, and the right should be atonement.

However, what he didn't expect, at about noon, another servant came to the study to report.

"His Royal Highness Prince, Your Excellency Taiwu asks to see you."

Zong Luo was a little surprised, and quickly put down his pen: "Please."

Because he wanted to sit in the imperial city's Quartet National Fortune Array, Tai Wu spent almost his entire life in the capital, not taking a step. Over time, there is no need to participate in the early dynasty, and even the Great Witch Temple doesn't come out very often. At most, it only comes out once a year during the routine sacrifice, let alone to the palace in person.

I don't know why, when I talked to Shen Xinyue yesterday, I caught a glimpse of the bad premonition that appeared when I wiped the corner of my clothes, and vaguely fell into Zong Luo's heart.

It is no trivial matter that Taiwu can make a trip in person.

Could it be that there is another problem with the time backtracking method? What else did Yu Beizhou do? Zong Luo thought uncertainly.

However, when the ghost-faced fangs and the hooded Taiwu threw something at him, Zongluo realized that he had guessed wrong again.

Lying in his hand was a wooden plaque engraved with Zong Luo's name.

Different from the witch sacrifice ceremony, the blood on this wooden sign settled down without any reaction.

"This is the wooden sign that the King of Beining threatened me to exchange."

Tai Wu said in a hoarse voice, "On the eve of the Wu Sacrifice Ceremony, he replaced the piece in your hand with a wooden plaque with his blood on it."

The white-clothed prince opened his eyes, his chest heaved a few times, and then he said: "How is it possible... Yu Beizhou said that it was because of the time reversal formation that our blood blended with each other, which made me also have Emperor Yuan in my body. blood, that's why I-"

"That's what he told you? What nonsense!"

Tai Wu said coldly: "The Time Retracement Array itself is a dedication-type array. It can only be given in one direction, and cannot be exchanged, let alone the fusion of blood."

"Think the old man doesn't know? He is the dignified Son of Destiny. He clearly gave you his destiny and his own qi, otherwise how could he..."

Catching a glimpse of the other party's shaky figure, Tai Wu still didn't say that sentence after all.

In the Yuchun Palace study, the old man was silent for a long time, and finally sighed: "He has been lying to you from beginning to end."
