thorns in the sky

On the day Jianlue left, Liu Qi slept in the dark.He ordered Chang Wuling the day before to get him the most sleeping medicine.Liu Qi said: "I don't want to think about it too early." Chang Wuling followed his words and said, "Of course, you still need to sleep more to recover from this illness." Liu Qi's eyes dimmed slightly.All of this was seen by Chang Wuling.Chang Wuling likes him, likes his happy appearance, but also likes his sad appearance.

It is easy to make Liu Qi happy, but it is actually very difficult to make him really sad.Liu Qi's heart is like a stone, even if you stab him with a sword, there will only be a tinkling sound, and you won't be able to break a crack.And he can laugh when he is sad.Now Liu Qi is much more frank with Chang Wuling, he doesn't force himself to smile, his frowning brows are slightly narrowed, his almond eyes are slightly bleary, and his cheeks are a little yellow due to illness, but he has such a sick and haggard appearance, which is called Chang Wuling. No matter how you look at it, Wuling thinks it is too beautiful.

Liu Qi was still immersed in his own sadness and didn't feel it.He wanted to take the medicine because he was afraid that he would wake up the next day, feel dizzy and impulsive, and really follow the sword away.He can't go.He didn't want to get entangled with Jianlue anymore.Now that everyone has come to this point, it can be regarded as the end. It's better to get together and get away, and it's better than having resentment in the future, but it's ugly to leave.

But Liu Qi didn't understand why he still had that urge to follow the sword slightly.

He wondered if he was really old and his heart softened.Afraid of being lonely, he was reluctant to let anyone disappear in his life.

Even with Chang Wuling, Liu Qi is much more kind.

Chang Wuling made sleeping pills according to his idea.Liu Qi drank the thick and rich medicinal soup, and after swallowing abruptly, there was still a lingering bitterness in his throat.Chang Wuling handed him a candy, but he didn't want it: "This idea is bitter, but I can bear it." The effect of the medicine came quickly, and Liu Qi soon fell into a drowsy sleep.

The next morning, Liu Qi took it for granted that he didn't wake up.Still sinking in his deepest dream, where there are Jianlue and Ao Huan, they looked at him peacefully, with warm smiles in the depths of their eyes.

In reality, Ao Huan and Jianlue are indeed together, and their demeanor is quite peaceful.They are all grown-ups, and there is nothing to make everyone lose face, not to mention the inextricable connections between them, and they may not be able to turn their faces in this life.

Everyone wanted to send the sword strategy, but only sent it outside the city.Na Jianlue said frankly: "There is no need to send them away." After they said some polite words, they dispersed one after another.Only Ao Huan said: "Anyway, I'm going to Beiyi to do something, so I'll go with you." Jianlue had no reason to refuse.The two rode forward side by side, with a bit of embarrassment in the silence.Jianlue made an excuse to visit his mother, left him and ran into Mrs. Jian's carriage.

When Mrs. Jian saw Jian Yue entered the carriage, she was surprised: "Didn't you say that riding a horse is more comfortable?" Jian slightly smiled: "I can't ride a horse all the way for such a long distance, how tiring it is." Mrs. Jian looked at it After looking at Jianlue, he said: "Did you have a conflict with Ah Huan?" After all, Mrs. Jian is a lady from the Northland, so she speaks very straightforwardly.Jian slightly shook his head lightly: "Not at all." Mrs. Jian sighed, and said earnestly: "It doesn't matter whether you quarrel or are awkward, after all, remember that from that year to now, in the past ten years, only he and I have never given up on you. Ah!" A trace of embarrassment flashed across Jianlue's face: "I remember, I owe him a huge debt." Mrs. Jian was stunned: "No, that's not what I meant. Do you still think you owe me?" But Jianlue said: "Of course not." Mrs. Jian said: "I just think that, no matter what, his friendship for you is not fake." Jianlue felt some sudden pain on his forehead: "I know it."

Jianlue remembered what happened when he was a child. At that time, Ao Huan casually plucked a flower growing by Jianlue's window.Jianlue wanted to get angry again, but he was always used to being his big brother, so he explained to him well, saying how precious this flower seedling is and how hard it is to get it, please don't touch it.Ao Huan didn't think so, and just said why bother to worry about a flower.Hearing this, Jianlue couldn't help but get angry with him.

One day, Ao Huan's mother brought a flower seedling and told Jianlue that Ao Huan almost froze to death when he went to the cold mountain to fetch flower seedlings in the cold weather, and now he is sick in bed.Naturally, Jianlue couldn't bear it, so he went to see Ao Huan.Ao Huan smiled: "Aren't you angry?" Jian Lue couldn't bear it, so he said naturally: "Nervous! Why are you angry with a flower?" Ao Huan laughed: "I'll just say it!"

So, Ao Huan still felt that the matter of picking flowers was not worth mentioning. He was willing to take the blame, even die generously, just because Jiansue was unhappy.But Ao Huan, he will never know his mistakes.

The current Ao Huan is also lowering his eyebrows and lowering his eyes, not at all like an ordinary prince. The sadness and begging in his eyes are real, but it is just because Jian is slightly unhappy.Ao Huan really thought that this three-player drama was a good story, and it was in line with the public order and good customs of Sanwei.

Jianlue didn't know yet, Ao Huan thought since childhood that his wife must be loved by Jianlue in the future.

But Jianlue is also slightly aware of the dependence of this big boy who will never grow up on him.Jianlue naturally dotes on Ao Huan in the same way, otherwise Jianlue will definitely kill the adulterer.When the "adulterant" was Ao Huan, Jianlue couldn't do anything, and under Ao Huan's constant overtures, Jianlue couldn't even get angry with him.

Mrs. Jian was still chattering good things about Ao Huan, but seeing that Jian Lue was absent-minded, she turned to a topic that could attract her son's attention: "Didn't you take Liu Qi with you on this long journey?" Jian Lue Hearing this, he was startled, but in fact, he knew that Mrs. Jian would definitely ask, so he replied in a gracious manner: "It's inconvenient for him to work in the front office of the palace." Mrs. Jian frowned when she heard this, and continued her straightforward words. Style: "I thought you broke up with him!" The implication is actually "make me happy for nothing".Jianlue didn't know how to respond, so he avoided his mother's sight and raised the curtain to look out.The sword looked out slightly, just in time to see Ao Huan's back.As if sensing his gaze, Ao Huan turned around, met Jianlue's eyes, and showed a very bright smile, which made Jianlue inexplicably annoyed.

The convoy went to rest at the post station, Jianlue arranged for his mother, then quietly went to the backyard, intending to enjoy the cold wind alone.It's already spring, the wind is not cold, but the warmth can easily make people drunk.Jianlue was unusually sober, and it was easy to detect the cat-like light footsteps coming from behind.He turned back coldly and saw Ao Huan's guilty and sorry expression.Whether it's Ao Huan's bright smile or a guilty frown, Jianlue is very upset.

It is true that Jianlue can't get angry with him, but he is still very uncomfortable in his heart, which makes him extremely irritable.Ao Huan said softly, "Will you come back?" in a very pitiful tone.Jian was slightly stunned, because he seldom saw Ao Huan show weakness to this point, and his tone softened a bit: "Yes." Ao Huan sat down on the gazebo with his head down, and said: "Of course, of course! You have become the prince, I must come back, this is the request of the imperial court." Jian slightly smiled: "Do you think I should be the prince?" Ao Huan also smiled: "Of course." Ao Huan always speaks with such confidence .

After a while, Ao Huan said again: "But will you still be my brother?" Jianlue looked at Ao Huan's frustrated face and smiled unconsciously.Jianlue's smile, in Ao Huan's view, has no clear meaning.Ao Huan felt uncomfortable and blamed himself, but he still didn't feel that being with Liu Qi was a mistake.

Obviously everyone can be together happily!why not?

Ao Huan is like a young child, selfish, stubborn and cruel.But the way he looked at Jianlue was full of innocence.Jianlue has a lot of intolerance towards him.Jianlue sighed: "Ah Huan..." Ao Huan knew that it was a sign of Jianlue's softening attitude after hearing the tone, and a spring smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Jian opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something more.That Ao Huan suddenly narrowed his eyes—it was just the faint cold light like a firefly in the dark night, which aroused Ao Huan's vigilance almost like a wild animal instinct.There was no trace of the fragile innocence in Ao Huan's eyes, and there was a fierce light in his eyes.Jianlue was also startled when he noticed the change in Ao Huan's expression, but only heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the wind, coming from behind with dripping killing intent.Jianlue hadn't realized what the sound of breaking the wind represented, but his body was suddenly pushed down, and the arrow barely slipped past his body, and pierced straight into Ao Huan's chest.

Jianlue's hair stood up all over his body, and his pupils also shrank. Looking back, he saw that the night was dark, with no wind or moon. The assassin had already fled away without a single hit.

Jian Yue fell to the ground, but because he was pushed down by Ao Huan, he got up easily, but Ao Huan fell to the ground, but he just prostrated and couldn't get up for a while.Jianlue quickly picked up Ao Huan and called for someone to come.Everyone was panicked when they saw this moment.

The doctor came to see Ao Huan, but Ao Huan gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not in the way!" The doctor was stunned, seeing Ao Huan's chest was bright red, and only said, "I'm afraid the prince has lost his mind?" After a pause, the doctor said again: "Could it be that the sharp arrow is poisonous, making the prince insane?" Ao Huan had a pale face, and his stubborn look was the same as when he was bullied when he was a child and kept silent.When he was young, Ao Huan was bullied, probably only Jianlue helped him, knowing the meaning behind his stubbornness.It is the same now.Jianlue felt helpless and sad, he hit Ao Huan's head with a slap, making Ao Huan's eyes stare.Jianlue said again with a cold face: "Don't be crazy!" After being beaten and scolded by him, Ao Huan accepted the treatment obediently, and the doctor only said: "Sure enough, he lost his mind."

Fortunately, the arrow was not poisonous, so the doctor bandaged Ao Huan, and he recovered.
