"

"Hey hey hey-"

Before Lu Keli agreed to Zheng Yan, he pushed Zhou Hanzhi out of the Hongwen Museum.

"Xianyan, I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you doing?" Zheng Yan walked forward slowly with a petal flower in her mouth and put her hands behind her head, "I..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hanzhi pinched his waist lightly, "Let's go to Hancangxuan next to Jingxin Pool and talk about it. These days... I can't speak clearly."

Zheng Yan pushed open a door and pulled Zhou Hanzhi into it.

"There's no one here. Ming Sha is guarding outside. What do you want to ask me?" Zheng Yan had no joke on his face, and Zhou Hanzhi felt very strange when he looked serious.

Zhou Hanzhi threw the Chiqiong agate pendant engraved with the divine bird of Jiaoming on the table, lit agarwood incense in the jade flower smoke, and the rare spice burned with a faint purple light.

"There's something special about this jade pendant, isn't it?"

Zheng Yan picked up the agate pendant and looked at it without speaking, while Zhou Hanzhi stared at it and suddenly laughed, "Zheng Yan, I'm not stupid. Why do I only hurt my arm when I point the sword at others and take their lives?"

"Hehe, Hanzhi." Zheng Yan laughed lowly, "You are not stupid, why don't you know who I am?" He looked into Zhou Hanzhi's eyes with sharp eyes.

He finally stopped calling Xianyan, and Hanzhi made it clear that Zheng Yan knew everything.Zhou Hanzhi couldn't say a word, her hands tightly clenched her palms leaving a mark.

"Hanzhi, Emperor Xian passed away in the spring of the ninth year of Kaiyou. I came to the capital, and you and I met for the first time. At that time, my name was Qin Tanxuan, and you were still Zhou Hanzhi." Zheng Yan sat on a stool and looked up at Jingxin Pool outside the window. , "I joked that I wanted to marry your sister, and you punched me on the nose, and I got a nosebleed. When I left the capital, I told you not to forget me. You said you must go when you grow up." Look for me in Luli, let me see the small Xianchi in Luli, release paper kites by the Min River, go to Yuanzhou to pick longan and oranges."

Zhou Hanzhi opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him, frowned and said dryly, "Tan Xuan...?"

"I heard you passed away in the 12th year of Kaiyou, but under the peach tree, I knew you were Zhou Hanzhi at a glance, but you didn't recognize me. At that time... my parents were divorced, and I secretly changed my surname to Zheng Hui Yuanzhou." Zheng Yan poured a glass of water and handed it over, "You want to know many things, about the prince, about me. I know you won't tell others, but I don't want to, I just want to tell you about your life experience. You are so stupid, if I don't tell you, who else can tell you?"

"I... I don't want to know." Zhou Hanzhi shook his head, "I am Zhou Shangshu's son, and I have been for 19 years, that's enough. If I don't know, maybe it's a bad thing."

Zheng Yan took a sip of water, and after a long while, he still spoke: "Your father is Zhou Kuiyang, the Duzhi doctor when Emperor Xiandi was born, and your mother is the daughter of Du Xiuming, a scholar of Jixian Temple, who was only 40 years old. Kui, who is widely involved in the history of books and history, You is good at Ci Ling, and he built the Hongwen Museum when he became emperor. Liu Chang, a scholar of detailed studies, has a close relationship with him, and Lu Keli has also asked him a lot of questions." He looked at Zhou Hanzhi and pointed to the stool. Instead, Zhou Hanzhi took a step back and leaned against the wooden pillar behind him.

"Your grandfather had countless students, and he experienced the Guangxi Rebellion together with Emperor Cheng, and won the trust of Emperor Cheng. Emperor Cheng said: 'Cultivating the Ming Dynasty is the mirror of the dynasty. It is hard to get it again. It can be said that there is no peer in the country'. Today, Zhou Zhen, Minister of Rites, Secretary Cheng and others are also his disciples. In the 28th year of Hezheng, Emperor Xian's uncle was accused of plotting rebellion. Xiandi's uncle, Shangzhuguo Yu Jinxian, had a good relationship with your grandfather in private. Your father is Yu Jinxian's nephew. Therefore, I was implicated. But Xiandi, a woman who can ascend to the throne of God, is also thanks to your grandfather, and Xiandi was also your grandfather's professor when he was Princess Zhenyuan. When you read Du Xiuming in the history books, did you ever think that this person is both talented and virtuous? The person who died was your grandfather?"

Zhou Hanzhi looked at Zheng Yan expressionlessly, without surprise.

"If you have already guessed this, it's not enough." Zheng Yan smiled bleakly, "You have a brother who is three years older than Qin Ronggu, and his name is Xiangwen. I know that there is a clear relationship between him and Qin Ronggu. Innocent, the most regrettable and cruel thing the queen has done in her life is probably beating Xiangwen to death, she hugged your brother herself, and your brother has a red mole in the corner of his eye."

Zhou Hanzhi still leaned against the pillar quietly, except for the slightly red eyes, her face was pale and bloodless.

"Zhou Zhen accepted her as a concubine in order to save your mother. You are not Zhou Zhen's son. After the 12th year of Kaiyou, the queen killed Xiangwen and then investigated the matter secretly. Zhou Zhen's second son is not the parent and child. As for who is to ask Aunt Ruan herself." Zheng Yan sneered, "So Zhou Zhen drowned him with your hands, and logically hid you." After speaking, he looked at Zhou Hanzhi, waiting for Zhou Hanzhi to say something.

"That's right," Zhou Hanzhi blinked, her eyelashes stained with water, "Thank you for telling me, although... I don't want to know."

Zheng Yan stood in front of the window, slightly raised his head.The two people separated by the bead curtain of Yunshuipoli remained silent.

Zhou Hanzhi hugged her knees along the pillar behind her and sat on the ground. The room was very quiet and she could hear her breathing.He looked over through the curling smoke from the flowers, Zheng Yan's expression was aloof and alienated.

"Hanzhi, if you hate Qin Ronggu even a little bit, I hope you can help me." Zheng Yan sighed inaudibly, "His grandmother, his mother, and him are not good to you and your family. It's a peace."

"Heh..." Zhou Hanzhi chuckled, "Emperor Xian couldn't sleep at night, he got up and cried bitterly, and erected a monument for Xueshi Du. When I was studying, I saw that Xueshi Du wrote in black and white all his life, without any slander. Regarding this matter, you count me as weak Well, I don't want to bring it up again. Empress Yuan is already dead, so I... just give Qin Ronggu all of this. "

Zhou Hanzhi paused for a long time after speaking, Zheng Yan turned to look at him, Zhou Hanzhi blinked a few tears and slid down her cheeks to the ground.The ground of Hancangxuan is paved with Chengsha gold bricks, which are made from the clean sand at the most rapid part of the Baier River for three years.

"So, Hanzhi, you will help me, right?"

Zhou Hanzhi suddenly lay down on the ground, Zheng Yan ran over quickly, but saw his eyes open and even blinked.

"Marriage and family affairs, don't mess with the country. Whether I hate him or not has nothing to do with your affairs." Zhou Hanzhi wiped his face, "Zheng Yan, it's cold on the ground, can you find me a quilt?"

Zheng Yan shook his head, stretched out his hand to pull him up, Zhou Hanzhi stared straight into his eyes, seemed to have thousands of words, but didn't say a word.

"Hanzhi, I'll pick you up, stop making trouble. You're lying on the ground, it's cold and hard, and you want to change to another place. Come, let me pick you up."

Zhou Hanzhi clung to the partition door tightly, Zheng Yan didn't dare to pull him hard, but he also lay down on the ground.

"I won't help you." Zhou Hanzhi closed his eyes and said, "I won't help you..."

"You like Qin Ronggu, so you are willing to be his dog?" Zheng Yan's words were ruthless, tearing Zhou Hanzhi's flesh, but Zhou Hanzhi seemed to have never heard of it.

"I'm lying on the ground because I want something. Normal people don't lie on the ground. Zheng Yan, you saw me lying on the ground, cough, you probably don't want to give me a quilt, but want to pull me up, because lying on the ground It's not right. If you want me to help you now, you just lie on the ground and ask me to give you a quilt. "

"you……"

"I'm such a useless person, you don't have to pity me, don't scold me, I know it all." After Zhou Hanzhi finished speaking, he stood up, opened the door and walked out, without looking at Zheng Yan who was still lying on the ground.

Zheng Yan turned over and got up and ran a few steps to grab him, Zhou Hanzhi waved his sleeves and shook off his hand, leaving him with a lonely back.

"I'm helping you, but I'm hurting you. Qin Tanxuan, besides me, how can Qin Ronggu compare to your father and brother when he was in politics? He used me. Don't you hold the same love as him?" Are you thinking..."

"Han..." Before Zheng Yan finished speaking, Zhou Hanzhi had already turned around and went downstairs quickly. He never saw Zhou Hanzhi's slumped face when he spoke.

No one is willing to send their hearts out to be trampled on by others.

Zhou Hanzhi closed his eyes under the peach tree by the pond for a long time before he dared to go back to the Hongwen Museum. As soon as he entered, he ran into Lu Keli

"Hey! Why are Hanzhi's eyes swollen? Didn't he fight with Zheng Yan? Don't hesitate to tell me anything. If he dares to bully you, I won't be the first to spare him."

"It's nothing, I... just fell to the ground and it hurt. Zheng Yan should have gone back long ago, and it has nothing to do with him." Zhou Hanzhi comforted Lu Keli, "Master Lu is worried about the students, it's my fault."

"Hey..." Lu Keli patted the dirt on his back, "You fell on your back? Does your head hurt? Don't make any mistakes. Your brother came to me, and I can't help—"

Zhou Hanzhi gave a "hmm", and was absent-minded all morning when he was correcting the text. When Lu Keli touched his forehead, his hair was hot, and hurriedly asked someone to send him back to rest.Zhou Hanzhi waved his hand, swearing that he would be able to walk back, but Lu Keli was not at ease, and finally insisted on seeing him off in person.Before Zhou Han came back, it was inconvenient for Lu Keli to go to his mansion, so he sent Zhou Hanzhi to the vicinity of Zhou Han's mansion before giving up.

Zhou Hanzhi let out a long sigh of relief when he saw him walk away and supported the tree. After resting for a while, he wanted to walk back to the Prince's Mansion by himself, but he fell down in a daze.

"Zhou Xianyan!" Before he fell down, he heard Qin Ronggu call himself, and vaguely saw Qin Ronggu and Zhou Han running over.

If before he went to Crane Palace, he really liked Qin Ronggu, he asked very little, he only thought that Qin Ronggu could remember a little bit of his goodness and that would be enough.But going around and around, Qin Ronggu just wanted to use him to the best of his ability, even at the cost of his life - even if he regretted it in the end, he finally had such thoughts.
