It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Shen Jinghe was taken aback by the abrupt words, and subconsciously wanted to refuse.But when the words came to his lips, looking at Liang Yan's deep eyes that seemed to be looking at him quietly with a lot of emotions, he couldn't utter a single word.

He didn't reply, but don't start to take two steps forward.Seeing that Liang Yan didn't follow, he turned his back to Liang Yan and gently turned half of his face, "Didn't you say you want to leave?"

Liang Yan was stunned for a moment, and a smile flashed across his eyes.He gave a slight nod to the people in front of him, then strode up to Shen Jinghe, and led him onto the winding stone road beside him.

After leaving the main courtyard, the number of students walking beside me gradually decreased.All the way through the flowers and willows, there are few human voices, only the slender green bamboos standing beside the road are bathed in the morning light, and the few birdsong from the deep forest make the trail even more quiet.

Shen Jinghe silently followed behind Liang Yan and walked, but the more he walked, the more familiar the scenery in front of him was——

Isn't this the bamboo forest where they had lunch at noon when they first came to the academy?

As if to confirm his idea, after bypassing a low-hanging green oblique branch, a simple and elegant stone pavilion came into view.The bamboo shadows whirling, the cool breeze blowing, away from the hustle and bustle of the crowd, made his heart become peaceful and indifferent after a long time.

"...why did you bring me here?"

After a moment of silence, Shen Jinghe looked at Liang Yan who stood in front of him and bowed his head in thought, and asked in puzzlement.

Liang Yan raised his eyelids, as if he came back to his senses because of his words.But he was not in a hurry to reply, he just looked around at the familiar scenery around him with a distant expression, and then he looked at Shen Jinghe and spoke softly.

"Someone once told me that the same words are said in that messy and annoying place, and the intention is very different from that in this bamboo forest with lush green leaves."

Shen Jinghe paused because of his rather familiar words, and after thinking about it, a blush flashed unnaturally on his face.He hesitated for a while, then gritted his teeth angrily and raised his head to stare at Liang Yan, saying with resentment, "I clearly said that day about having lunch!"

"Really?" Liang Yan only looked at him and smiled, "Your Highness the Sixth Highness, I guess I'm comprehending by analogy."

Shen Jinghe choked, and had no choice but to turn his eyes away from his outline, which was too clearly outlined by the sunlight, "... After going around in circles for a long time, what exactly do you want to say to me?"

Hearing this, Liang Yan gradually put away his smile, and walked slowly towards him a few more steps, only barely stopping when he was less than a foot in front of him.

The aura belonging to another person suddenly surrounded Shen Jinghe subtly and a little unnaturally, he rubbed his right foot back half a step and wanted to step back, but Liang Yan had already leaned over and gently supported him with both hands. Holding his shoulders, lowering his head, he looked into his eyes seriously.

"sorry."

The short but powerful words made Shen Jinghe suddenly raise his head, staring at Liang Yan's solemn face in a daze.

He... heard correctly?The young general in front of him, who has always been hiding an arrogance in his bones, is apologizing to himself at this time?

Liang Yan looked at his slightly dazed expression, and his heart shrank as if being stabbed lightly by a sharp awl.He subconsciously tightened the hands holding the shoulders of the person in front of him, but in the next second, he quickly let go as if he was afraid of hurting him.

"...When I advised you to leave Taixue and return to the palace, I never meant to underestimate you." Liang Yan's expression was unprecedentedly serious and focused, "Of course I know your talent, your ambition, and your ambition. It's just that , I see you are not happy here."

Liang Yan looked down at Shen Jinghe's face, with complex expressions in his eyes, as if hiding a deep lake with a turbulent undercurrent.

"And I don't want to see you unhappy."

Shen Jinghe's pupils constricted, he opened his lips blankly and wanted to say something, but the grievance that filled his heart for a moment suddenly washed away his usual indifferent appearance.

He didn't know what happened to him either.Obviously, as a human being in two lifetimes, he has already experienced countless winds, frosts, swords, and monstrous waves. He should have been used to stepping on sharp white blades with every step, but at this moment, listening to the tall young man in front of him whispered With such a sentence, he only felt that all the loneliness and loneliness that had been suppressed and buried deep in his heart were all scrambling to break through his defenses, until the corners of his eyes were almost forced to be moistened by the faint heat. .

I don't want to see him unhappy.

In the past life, in this life, no one has ever said such a thing to him.

No one ever.

"Happiness?" Shen Jinghe said with difficulty, and it was hard to hide a touch of self-deprecation in his light smile, "It's just a luxury. I should already be grateful for surviving so far, so how can I have the right to talk about these things that are too far away?"

Liang Yan frowned in pity, he clenched his knuckles, restrained himself from reaching out to smoothen the desire between his frowning brows, and sighed in an oath-like tone, "You will, the people in this world You are entitled to taste all the good things."

Shen Jinghe stared blankly at him, but smiled softly and helplessly, "Has anyone ever told you that you are really a muscle?"

"I think people usually call it the heart of a child." Liang Yan didn't avoid his eyes, and his magnetic voice lingered in the small stone pavilion.

Heart of a child?

Shen Jinghe turned his head and thought for a while, and felt that this word really fit the figure of the handsome young man in front of him very well.Whether it is the responsibility and waiting for the people of his home country and the people of the country for more than three years of guarding the northern border, or the unabashed sincerity when he treats himself as a friend, it makes him, a traveler who hastily traveled in the wind and snow in three winters, seem to be looking forward to Seeing a warm and scorching flame on the road ahead, I couldn't help but want to get close to it again and again to warm my heart frozen by the severe cold.

But when he was leaning on the flames to keep warm, there was always a sense of shame lingering in his heart.Such a pure and innocent heart should be given to a more flawless person. Is he, who has struggled and lived in darkness all his life, really qualified to enjoy this warmth with peace of mind?

"Liang Yan." Shen Jinghe looked at him and spoke softly, knowing how sad these words would make him feel, but he had to try his best to restrain himself, piercing through the unsettled thoughts in his mind with a sober and cool voice. Ken diffused his nostalgia, "I'm not a good person, the Shen Jinghe you see may just be what I want you to see."

Liang Yan raised his eyes and looked back at him quietly.

There was a trace of tiredness on the face of the young man in front of him, he was obviously smiling, but his brows and eyes were clearly full of reluctance and depression.Just like the orchid and eucalyptus tree after being wetted by the raging cold rain overnight, it has shed all its tea-white petals, but it still has to hold up its branches to welcome people at dawn, refusing to show a bit of embarrassment and fragility.

"The kindness you treated me before may have come more from the sergeant's natural desire to protect the weak." Shen Jinghe rarely kept his face serious.It is not easy to express his inner thoughts word by word. He paused and took a deep breath before he had the strength to continue to open his lips with difficulty, "Now you know that I am not weak, nor perfect... your I am truly grateful for this childlike heart."

The difficult sentence was finally spit out from his mouth, and he lowered his eyes in relief, his face slightly sad.It seems to be waiting for the upcoming farewell, or judgment.

However, Liang Yan didn't show disappointment or anger as he expected, he just stood where he was and looked at his eyebrows carefully, for a long time, he let out a chuckle.

"Protective desire? Maybe. From this point of view, maybe I am not a good person."

Liang Yan glanced at him again, and spoke leisurely.

"I just discovered that my desire to protect the weak will sometimes fail."

"When?" Shen Jinghe answered subconsciously.

Liang Yan seemed to have remembered something, and his complexion was a little weird for a moment, and he coughed lightly, "...When I found out that Xu Jin never appeared in Taixue again."

Shen Jinghe was startled, the waves in his eyes rippled like spring water wrinkled by the wind.His expression flickered for a moment, but he still raised his chin with some arrogance, and looked at Liang Yan with fixed eyes, as if he was trying to prove something.

"Yes, it was my tricks that made Xu Jin leave Taixue in the end." Shen Jinghe stared at Liang Yan without blinking, and tried his best to restrain the slight trembling of his fingertips, "I said earlier I’m not a good person, I’m not a good person, I’m going to get revenge, I’m going to act recklessly, that’s it, you still refuse to take back what you just said to me?”

At the end of the speech, his voice raised and amplified uncontrollably, as if he was asking excitedly.

Liang Yan didn't answer him.

He just took a step forward in silence, carefully hugging him into his arms, and the moment his jaw turned, it brushed against his soft hair, like fine silk and satin.The auras on the two of them strangely merged into a natural one, and because of his letting go after a few breaths, they reluctantly dispersed.

A one-touch, polite hug between friends.

Shen Jinghe still stayed there in a daze, unable to speak, the warm air coming from the chest of the person in front of him through the black shirt seemed to still stay in his forehead.He opened his mouth, but his blank mind could not support him to say any other words.

"You always have your own reasons for what you do." Liang Yan's quiet eyes scrutinized his face that hadn't calmed down, and there was complete undoubted belief in his eyes.

Shen Jinghe's voice was slightly hoarse, "It doesn't make sense..."

"If there's no reason, I can find the reason for you." Liang Yan said forcefully, and the raised sword eyebrows showed a bit of conceit and determination for no reason.However, his expression quickly calmed down again, and he stretched out his fingertips to gently press the temples of the person in front of him, "If you really can't find it..."

He chuckled again, his brows were full of childish banter and rogue, "If we can't find it, we'll simply abandon the principles of benevolence and righteousness together. Just do what you want, and I will accompany you you."

Shen Jinghe's eye sockets were slightly sore, his mind was overflowing with various chaotic emotions, the huge impact almost made him unable to stand still.In a trance, in his shocked heart, he could only express a sigh mixed with emotion and gratitude.

He De He Neng, how fortunate.

"...Do you know the White Deer Academy in the south of the city? The Qingliu scholars and the poor students in the capital often go there to study, and there are many famous teachers and scholars among them." Shen Jinghe gently held Liang Yan's hand that had not yet been withdrawn in the future, and squeezed He pursed his lips and said, "I asked Fifth Brother to send him there. Fifth Brother has a friend named Ruan Ling who is also studying there. If Xu Jin is new here, he can help take care of him."

Liang Yan grabbed his hand back, his handsome face was full of emotion and pity, "He has treated you like that, yet you still..."

Shen Jinghe blinked, and some sly shadows appeared on his face, "I said earlier that I will take revenge. Originally, I really planned to just send him out of the Imperial College, but I didn't take this step."

He paused, then took out another thin piece of paper from his sleeve, "I found this on the last page of that "Shangshu" until after I finished reading that morning."

Liang Yan took the piece of paper from his hand. Two numbers were written on the paper, one was one and the other was three.A long list of names was written next to each number, some were obviously like Wang Qi, and some were people who usually looked well-behaved and had nothing to do with those two people.

There is a lot of adhesion between the handwriting, and one can imagine the nervousness of the writer at that time.

"This is?" Liang Yan's pupils shrank.

Shen Jinghe glanced at the thin paper in his hand, "Xu Jin came to Taixue more than a month earlier than us, and he is timid and timid on weekdays, so there are some things that others have never thought of avoiding him. This part On the list, there are many people who have been involved with my two imperial brothers. Among the students who have been with me these days, there are also many students who seem to be innocent, but are actually on this list people in the ranks."

He secretly sighed in his heart, the depth of Taixue's water was indeed far beyond his expectation.

"Although Xu Jin framed me first, he left behind this precious list. He is an extremely contradictory person, so I have no choice but to treat him in such a contradictory way." Shen Jinghe's face was as calm as water. Throwing down the last sentence without hesitation, he gently pinched the edge of the tissue paper and took him back from Liang Yan's hand.

Liang Yan let go of his hand and let him pull the paper back, looking at him with correct eyes.Although the young man in front of him tried his best to put on an indifferent appearance, everyone with a discerning eye knew that Xu Jin was not suitable for the imperial school, so sending him to the White Deer Academy composed of the Qingliu faction really paved a way for him. Bright way to study.

After all, he was not as cruel as he said.

Liang Yan sighed inaudibly. He always said that he was not worthy of his heart, but without him, where would he find another Shen Jinghe who was so lovable in this world? ?

Shen Jinghe didn't realize it, but just lowered his head and put the tissue paper back into his sleeve.When he pulled out his hand, his fingertips accidentally caught a corner of a handkerchief, and he pulled it out of his sleeve, and was about to fly lightly to the ground.

With sharp eyes and quick hands, Liang Yan caught the square brocade handkerchief.When he was about to hand it back to Shen Jinghe, he inadvertently lowered his head for a look, but his whole body suddenly froze in place.

This Fang Jinpa...why does the more I look at it, the more familiar I feel?

Shen Jinghe took a closer look, and immediately recognized the handkerchief that he had hidden on his body by the lotus pond that day, but always forgot to return it.He opened his eyes wide and wanted to explain, but Liang Yan opened his mouth first, staring at him with a complicated expression.

"The handkerchief I gave you that day...you always carry it with you?"

Shen Jinghe's face was inexplicably hot.There are rules and regulations for the belongings of the prince in the palace, if the brocade handkerchief that suddenly appeared here is seen by others, it may cause unnecessary trouble for him.

He really only kept it hidden on his body for this reason, but he forgot to return it after a long time.But now that he was bumped into by Liang Yan, why did he feel that the atmosphere was getting weirder and weirder?

He coughed dryly, and pushed the brocade handkerchief into Liang Yan's hand again, "I've been thinking about returning it to you someday, but I always forget it. Now I happen to see it and remember it, so you quickly take it back." go."

However, Liang Yan did not put away the handkerchief as he wished, but instead raised his eyebrows and pushed the handkerchief back into Shen Jinghe's hands without any refusal.

"Take it."

He spoke in a low voice, his breath gently brushing his face.

Shen Jinghe raised his head and wanted to persuade him to take the handkerchief back, but accidentally bumped into Liang Yan's deep eyes, but seemed to be sucked into his soul by a pool of deep ink in it, and his slightly parted lips never Can't say a word.

"Take it." Liang Yan slightly raised the corners of his lips, and his tone became more gentle, "If you feel sorry for taking my things, you might as well think about giving me something to make up for it someday."

Is this the truth?

Shen Jinghe only felt a little dizzy in his head, and subconsciously felt that there was something wrong, and he couldn't find out what was wrong with it.He frowned, feeling that no matter how much he entangled, he would not be able to change the mind of the person in front of him, so he curled his lips and took back the veil.

The rustling wind swayed the fragmented shadows of scattered bamboos, and the golden fragments sprinkled by the sun danced on the eyelashes and hair tips.Shen Jinghe closed his eyes because of the warm light, and when he opened them again, there was already a starry smile in his eyes.

"Liang Yan, I am living in a very tight situation. If you want to wait for my gift in return, you may have to wait for a long time in vain."

Liang Yan's eyes were full of his appearance when he looked back. After a long time, he whispered softly.

"No matter how long, I will wait for you."

……

Scented sandalwood lingers in the crooked palace of Jinpu, and the heavy pearl and crystal curtains are carefully lifted by the palace staff, and a well-dressed woman in Chinese clothes slowly steps under the gently shaking jade beads from left to right.

Shen Yanzhang was sitting in front of the imperial table, looking at the jade face gradually and clearly revealed from the layers of bead curtains, he was in a daze for a moment.When Cai Dequan came to report to the queen and asked to see him, apart from surprise, there was also the faint lingering guilt in his heart.

Wei Yuyun bowed his head calmly and saluted, "...The concubine has seen His Majesty."

"The empress doesn't need to be so courteous." Shen Yanzhang stepped forward to help her up, seeing her pale face even though she put on makeup, she slightly looked away, "You have been resting in Changle Palace for the past six months, I rarely have the opportunity to visit."

"It's enough for the concubine to know His Majesty's intentions." Wei Yuyun didn't show resentment on her face, she just let out a low sigh, hiding all her unspoken emotions.

Shen Yanzhang's expression became even more unnatural when he heard the words, he ordered the palace servants to bring more warm hand stoves to the main hall.

The fire light faintly reveals a bit of bright color from the hollowed-out carved cover of Wudie Holding Shou, and the crackling sound of burning charcoal shatters the silence in the hall.

"It's windy and cold today, why did the Empress think of coming to Zichen Palace?" After a long while without words, it was Shen Yanzhang who spoke first.

Wei Yuyun raised her dignified and beautiful face in response, and her red lips parted lightly, "This concubine came here today to ask His Majesty something."

She paused, but the words that came out of her mouth caused the emperor's expression to change suddenly.

"The concubine wants to entrust the sixth prince under his name and raise him in Changle Palace."

"What?" Shen Yanzhang's eyes were full of unmistakable shock and surprise, "Well, how could the empress..."

Wei Yuyun had expected him to react like this, but when he heard this, he just let out a sigh from his lips and teeth, and his face became even more melancholy.She lowered her head slightly, revealing a slender and soft neck, "When my concubine was relaxing in the palace garden earlier, I once caught a glimpse of the sixth prince's face from afar."

Her eyes drifted leisurely into the distance, and she seemed to be missing something, and she smiled a little memory, "The appearance of the sixth prince is not so much like Xi'er, but more like when the concubine first met. Your Majesty."

Shen Yanzhang was silent for a moment, he and the empress could be regarded as childhood sweethearts, and even more so, they had been married since childhood.At the beginning when he was not trusted by the late emperor, it was the Wei family who assisted him and managed to save him from many turmoil.

However, Wei Yuyun didn't seem to see the face of the emperor's sudden silence. She turned her head away, covered her lips with her sleeve and coughed a few times. There was a moment of sadness in her voice, "I haven't seen Your Majesty for more than a month. With this dilapidated sick body on weekdays, I dare not come here easily, I am afraid that I will give Your Majesty the sickness."

"If the sixth prince can be kept in the palace, it can be regarded as fulfilling a small wish of my concubine." Wei Yuyun smiled feebly, with a flash of self-mockery between his brows, "The concubine can also hear the concubine in the palace. The servants often said that the Sixth Prince is the one who loves to study, and his diligence and earnestness in studying are really similar to Xi'er before."

Mentioning the late prince, Wei Yuyun's eyes turned red.She quickly turned her head and pressed the corners of her eyes lightly with a veil, not wanting anyone to see her momentary gaffe.

Shen Yanzhang sat on the spot for a long while unable to move, every word the queen uttered lightly hit his heart.His expression struggled and changed several times, thinking of Shen Jinghe's unreliable background and his always gentle and peaceful appearance, he could only let out a long sigh in the end.

"Then...as the queen said."
