[Rat and Cat] Han Palace Autumn

Chapter 40

Birds under the green wuqin garden in the past, cicadas singing yellow leaves Han Gongqiu.

Zhan Zhao stood in the pavilion on the water, staring at the pool of residual lotus in front of him: the lotus leaves were crowded together, and the propped up canopy cast an unbearable reflection in the water. Appears lonely.

A gust of autumn wind blew up, and the residual lotus in the pond fluttered and made a rustling sound, and a small whirlwind of yellow leaves swirled around the tall trees with fallen leaves by the pond, and the dead leaves fluttered like beautiful butterflies Withering and mourning, beautiful, but also desolate.

"Zhao," someone came up behind him, trying to put his shoulders on his shoulders, but was stopped by Wuyan's dodge, and lowered his arms resentfully, "Are you looking at the autumn scenery? The residual lotus in the pond is so beautiful. Are you hurt?" It's not good yet, so it's not good to stand here and blow the air...Come on, today I newly donated a famous ancient piano, I just sent someone to get it, how about tasting it with me later?" He was talking to himself, seeing The person in front of him didn't react at all, and a trace of anger could not help but slipped across his face. He raised his hand and stroked the smooth hair on his loose shoulders forcefully, and said in a low voice, "Today, Bai Yutang gave me a trick..."

The body under his palm trembled violently, and he turned around, but Zhao Zhen didn't feel the slightest joy in his scheme's success. He couldn't help but increase his strength, and when he saw the person suffering from pain, he frowned and quickly let go: "You just do it like this!" Care about him, huh? Do you know what he said on the table?"

Zhan Zhao ignored his teasing, frowned for a while, looked aside, and said in a low voice, "It must be for the purpose of killing King Xiangyang. His Majesty knew about it long ago, so why bother to tease Zhan Zhao?"

Zhao Zhen laughed loudly: "That's right, I knew that I couldn't hide it from you, a smart cat! Yes, at that time, I deliberately sent him to Xiangyang, just because he couldn't help himself and committed suicide against that old thief." Idea, save me from being reprimanded for persecuting my clan... Zhao, Zhao, I see that he is inseparable from the King of Xiangyang, who violently hurt people, and even got a sword wound on his body to fool me, so he must understand what I mean , but you didn’t even mention what you mean, tsk tsk, could it be that those scumbags want to take the credit for themselves?”

Zhan Zhao was unmoved, and just smiled lightly: "This is what Zhan wants."

The emperor's thin lips twitched and pursed into a straight line. He stopped this futile behavior and turned his gaze to the raised brackets of the majestic hall in the distance, and said coldly: "That being said, After all, he was charged with murdering his family members, and he also lost the court official who needed to be brought back, tell me, how should I punish him..." Seeing Zhan Zhao's sharp eyes that instantly focused on him, a sudden twitch came in his heart. Anger, I managed to suppress it, but it was rare to become agitated, "...Hmph, you treat him like this, you know he didn't even intend to ask for a seal for you, yesterday's book was handed over by the appeasement envoy, Master Yan, you ..."

Zhan Zhao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly burst into a spring breeze smile that he hadn't seen since entering the palace, Zhao Zhen was stunned for a moment, but his eyes became darker when he heard his answer: "... Yutang must understand that I am still alive, Your Majesty, it seems that your efforts are in vain... Hehe, I cherish Yutang's life and death, and I am really happy that he has calmed down like this now..."

"Zhao! You must offend me so much, you are not afraid that I will take that Bai Yutang as a military assassin, and even chop off his head!"

Zhan Zhao froze, then looked back at him and smiled ironically: "Isn't Your Majesty governing the country with benevolence? Bai Yutang has made great achievements just now, so His Majesty probably wouldn't do that."

"... His Majesty Qi Zou, the guqin has been brought, does Your Majesty want someone to play and adjust it?" A report interrupted the tit-for-tat aura between the two of them, and Zhao Zhen took a deep breath: He really didn't expect that, That gentle and jade-like royal cat would show her sharpness... And it's all because of that damned Bai Yutang!He clenched his fists tightly and ordered: "Quick play."

The gurgling music of the palace people eased the tense atmosphere in the pavilion, Zhan Zhao looked away again, staring at the withered autumn scenery outside the pavilion in a daze, Zhao Zhen pulled him to sit aside, but focused all his eyes on I can't get enough of the person sitting next to me, I can't wait to hug him in my arms and love him wantonly.

After the song was played, Zhao Zhen came back to his senses and patted Zhan Zhao's shoulder: "Zhao thinks this piano is still eye-catching? It's such a good time, how about playing a song for me so that I can listen to the fairy music."

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes and didn't look at him, he just said indifferently: "Zhan Zhao is only a reckless man of the rivers and lakes, and he really doesn't know anything about this elegant fact, I'm afraid he will disappoint His Majesty's elegance."

"Oh?" Zhao Zhen smiled happily, "Bao Qing once told me that a gentleman who guards Zhan can master all six arts. ?"

"It's just Mr. Bao showing love."

"You mean... Bao Zheng can't deceive the king?" Satisfied, the young man in blue clenched his fists secretly, got up without saying a word, and sat down in front of the piano stand.

Zhan Zhao didn't ask him any questions, just played according to his heart's desire, it was indeed deep and tactful, which can be called everyone's technique.Zhao Zhen's eyes lit up, seeing him bowing his head and serious appearance at his desk, he was proud of having this outstanding young man, but at the same time, he was very itchy because of his unfaithful words and even glaring at him all the time.

"呵啦——" An abrupt sound interrupted the elegant and cold melody, and a string broke in response, leaving a glaring bloodstain on the slender fingers playing.

"Zhao!" Zhao Zhen stood up, and was about to rush forward, shouting angrily, "Who entered this piano, it can be broken with a snap of a finger, is it possible that he wants to assassinate the king!"

"Your Majesty," Zhan Zhao calmly stood up and bowed deeply, "It is Zhan Zhao's incompetence that ruined the emperor's pleasure... It's just that this has nothing to do with the quality of the strings. Picking the state of mind... It's not surprising that it broke today."

"You..." Zhao Zhen was very angry at his hidden meaning, but seeing his pale face and bleeding fingers, he really couldn't reprimand him, so he could only shake his sleeves and leave angrily. At the end, he did not forget to tell the waiter in the pavilion, "Are you blind, hurry up and ask the imperial physician to heal Zhan's guard!"

Zhan Zhao was still seriously injured, and being forced to play was even more frustrating, and after being tortured so much, he had a high fever when he returned home, and the imperial doctor who was in charge of seeing him was so anxious that he almost tore off his beard—so long How could he not know the time, the person in front of him is the emperor's heart, and he would be furious if he bumped into it. Although the emperor seemed really angry this time, he didn't ask about it or visit him for a few days, but the king's heart is unpredictable. Knowing what terrible consequences people would have to face if they really couldn't wake up under his hands.

The imperial doctor tried his best and resorted to his housekeeping skills several times, and finally pulled the person back from the high fever. Seeing that the crisis was finally resolved, he was greatly relieved, and took a pen to prescribe a few warm and nourishing medicines. Fangzi told the palace servants to take care of him, and then wobbled back to the imperial hospital.

Besides, Zhao Zhen was really angry with Zhan Zhao's insinuations several times that day, and wanted to kill him, so he suppressed himself and didn't go to visit for a few days, out of the consideration of out of sight and out of mind, No one is allowed to mention the news of that person in front of him.After a few days, the anger dissipated, and after inquiring around, I was shocked to learn that the man had been struggling several times in the past few days, and now he was only getting better.

I hurried to that palace, needless to say I was worried and anxious along the way, after passing through the nine-curved corridor and entering the fresh and elegant garden that resembled that person, my anxious heart calmed down inexplicably.

Because it has just rained, the whole yard is in a moist and bright environment, the green bamboos are not fading, water drops meander down from the emerald green leaves, and splash on the bluestone ground, leaving a slightly deeper mark, It disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The window is covered by a few clumps of green bamboo, and a thin figure can be vaguely seen in front of the table by the window. An elegant blue shirt is loosely draped over the body, and the long hair is not tied, covering half of the cheek when the person leans over—— Ever since he said he likes the way he looks, Zhiji's palace servants haven't given him a hair tie here - he is writing something with one hand behind his back and a pen in the other, and he can only vaguely see the white hair outside the window The fingers matched the ink-colored wolf hair, and they were also slender, straight, smooth and straight.

Zhao Zhen was fascinated by it, wishing that this peaceful moment would be eternity, he walked quickly into the room, stood behind the man, stretched his arms around the waist of the young man who had lost his martial arts and was no longer sharp before, Putting her chin on his shoulder, she asked softly, "The illness is just right, why are you working so hard here... What are you writing about?"

Zhan Zhao froze in disgust at this sudden intimacy, and gave up the unrealistic idea after a slight struggle, without raising his eyes, he read out the handwriting he was writing in a cold voice: "... Try, you can't bear what you don't like. You have already judged yourself, and if you have reached the end of the road, you have heard it..."

Zhao Zhen's expression froze, and he let go and grabbed the rice paper spread out on the table to look at it. The steep and handsome handwriting on the page made him feel a pain in his heart: "Break friendship with Shan Juyuan? Zhao, what do you mean! "

Zhan Zhao lowered his eyes: "What does the emperor think Zhan Zhao means, then what Zhan Zhao means?"

Zhao Zhen was furious: "Okay, then you have to tell me, would you rather die to be that ignorant Ji Kang?"

Zhan Zhao finally took a look at him, but his clear eyes were full of sarcasm: "Don't you know that the Kaifeng Mansion always only knows the principles and doesn't know the current affairs! The Guangling San played by Zhan Zhao in the pavilion that day, could it be that His Majesty didn't know the truth?" Have you never heard of it?"

"You... good! Zhan Zhao, you really know how to piss me off!" Zhao Zhen grabbed him by the shoulders and yanked him, pushing him on his back on the table, ignoring his angrily struggling and resisting, and imprisoning his hands together Pressing it on the top of his head, he aimed at Shui Se's lips and bit down hard.

Zhan Zhao has just recovered from a serious illness, and his whole body has no strength at all. How can he be the opponent of Zhao Zhen who has practiced a few moves?His struggle was like a joke under the tight pressure of the emperor on his body, he closed his eyes in despair, Zhan Zhao took a breath, and desperately bit down on the raging lips and tongue.

Zhao Zhen realized something was wrong in time, quickly pinched his chin with one hand to prevent the teeth from closing, and at the same time quickly withdrew from the mouth, but the tongue was still inevitably bumped by the sharp teeth, and a little bit of salty blood oozes out.

He was furious: "Looking at your mental state, it doesn't look like you have suffered a serious illness... Come on, let me see how you are recovering!" He grabbed Zhan Zhao's cold wrist and dragged him towards the house Pushing the big bed hard, Zhan Zhao fell onto the bed.

Zhan Zhao was weak at this time, how could he stand such intense activities, he was out of breath for a while, dizzy in front of his eyes, sweat came out like water, and the wound that had healed a little bit seemed to be torn again, and he couldn't help pressing Coughing and wheezing in his chest, he couldn't get enough energy for a long time.

Zhao Zhen pounced on him and pinned him down, gnawing at his neck repeatedly, a series of bright red plums immediately appeared on Ruyu's skin, Zhan Zhao's slender fingers firmly grasped the mahogany bedpost, until it turned blue His blood vessels protruded from the pale and transparent skin. His fingertips were already severely injured by the torture. How could he withstand such a forceful scratch? track.

Zhao Zhen felt that the struggle of the people beneath him was getting weaker, and his rationality slowly turned around. He took a closer look, only to find that Zhan Zhao had already vomited blood, and many wounds on his body had also burst open, leaving pieces on his clothes. Traces of dark blue.

"Quickly, pass on to the imperial physician!" He yelled in panic, hugging the pale young man who seemed to be about to disappear in his arms, and cautiously did not dare to use any more force.
