An Empire as a Betrothal Gift

Wei Lian said softly, "I know."

Jun Zhu snorted.He can be regarded as watching Wei Lian grow up, from a child to a young man, and now he is in the prime of his life, falling into love, it is not without embarrassment.

"Yuzhi, this child, doesn't care about everything. I've never seen him so nervous about a person's life." Jun Zhu sighed, "He even gave you the Resurrection Pill in the past, and now he destroys the antidote in person. , you should understand his intentions. Both of you are deep-minded people, and one is more wary than the other, but since you love each other so much, you don't have to hide it to death."

Jun Zhu was also heartbroken.If it wasn't for thinking about the relationship between master and apprentice with Wei Lian for so many years, and couldn't bear to make the young apprentice feel wronged, why would he say so much.

Ji Yue's eyes narrowed slightly: "This junior understands."

Jing Chen also interjected: "That's right. Ji Benefactor was determined to trade his life for his life, and the poor monk thought you would regret it, so he asked you not to hand over the antidote for now."

If Wei Lian hadn't destroyed the antidote with his own hands at this juncture, Ji Yue might not have realized this.

Ji Yue wanted to exchange his own life for Wei Lian's safety, it was an instinctive reaction after hearing that Wei Lian was going to die.He thought it would be great if Wei Lian could survive, but when it really happened, he realized that he was completely wrong.

Without him, how could Wei Lian live well.

Seeing Wei Lian weeping on his shoulder, and seeing Wei Lian destroy the antidote he had been thinking about without hesitation, Ji Yue's heart throbbed in pain, and he also understood how cruel his decision was.

If two people love each other but have to part, the one who is left in this world will be in pain.

Can……

"I don't regret it alone." Ji Yue said.

Jun Zhu and Jing Chen were taken aback at the same time.

"I regret making him so sad, maybe I will make him sad for the rest of my life." Ji Yue whispered, "I will never regret saving him."

"If it was me who died today, Ah Lian could use his life to replace me..." Ji Yue smiled lightly, "Ah Lian would make the same choice, wouldn't she?"

Wei paused.

……Yes.

He would trade his life for Ji Yue without hesitation.

Humans are really contradictory creatures.He didn't want Ji Yue to leave him in the world, and he didn't want Ji Yue to exchange his life for his.But if they were changed, he would do everything to save Ji Yue, including his own life.

Even if he knew that Ji Yue would be sad if he lived alone, he still couldn't protect himself and let him die.

Junzhu and Jingchen are outsiders and monks.They understand many principles and see many things clearly, but they have never been contaminated by emotions and desires, and they don't really understand the taste of them.

There are too many helpless things in the world that cannot be the best of both worlds, and those who stay out of it will never be able to empathize.

The world will never know——

Those two kings of Qin and Young Master Lian who were equally sober, cold, and spared no effort to spare their lives—

They are all crazy, passionate, risking their lives, and giving everything they have for each other.

Junzhu's whereabouts have always been mysterious, this time he completed his mission, and before he could say a word, he disappeared without a trace.Leaving Jingchen where he was, he was at a loss: "You brought the poor monk back!"

"Master has already left." Wei Lian understood Jun Zhu's elusive style very well, "Master, go across the bridge to the Zhizhou Mansion in the main city, and then go back with the imperial envoy team, and by the way...bring this one back to the prison." He Pointing to Zhang Xuwen who was like mud on the ground.

Jing Chen: "..."

This pair of master and apprentice is really in the same line.

Jingchen sighed in resignation, and dragged Zhang Xuwen, who was tied into a rice dumpling, away.

……

Night falls.

Wei Lian finally turned around and turned his gaze back to Ji Yue.

There was a moment of silence in the room. Ji Yue stood up and went to hug him gently.

Wei Lian cried so much before that it really scared Ji Yue.Even now, the youth's eye sockets are still red, against his pale complexion, anyone who sees him will feel sorry for him.

Not to mention Ji Yue who cherishes him the most.

Wei Lian didn't say a word, wrapped his arms around his waist, and leaned quietly in his arms.

There is a faint moonlight outside the house, and there is a slight wind.

"You... bastard." Wei Lian opened his mouth after a while, still unable to hide his tears, "Are you really going to abandon me?"

How could he calm down.

Ji Yue was fine for the time being, and he also learned from Jingchen that Ji Yue had already planned to block the robbery for him.

Just now in front of Junzhu and Jingchen, he endured all the time, calmly listened to what happened, and calmly analyzed the person who cast the curse, as if it was no big deal.

Now in the quiet night, only he and Ji Yue are left, he finally...

Finally couldn't stand it anymore.

I have cried a lot before, and now it is not too fluctuating.Wei Lian never shed tears, but beat Ji Yue's heart with a trembling tone of fear, making him feel distressed and quiet.

Ji Yue closed his eyes, covered the moisture in his eyes, and patted him on the back: "It's okay, Wei Xiaolian."

"Ji Xiaoyue is fine."

Ji Yue meticulously kissed away the mist from Wei Lian's slightly wet eyelashes, as gentle as the wind and the moon.

Wei Lian's long eyelashes trembled.

He thought, this scene is really familiar.

Last time it seemed...in the imperial study, he got angry with Wei Yan... Actually, it wasn't considered angry, how could Wei Yan give him anger?He is hypocritical, someone who has never been favored before is suddenly pitied, a little bit of grievance will be magnified, and he wants to get some support.

He actually had no hope.

Because he never got it.

Then Ji Yue said: "Okay, look, Gu has backed you up."

He cried for nothing.

Ji Yue also gently kissed away his tears, hugged him and said, "Ah Lian, don't cry, you are alone."

Wei Lian couldn't remember when his heartbeat started, but when he fell in love with Ji Yue and recalled the past, every moment seemed to make his heart beat.

The calmness, self-control, and perseverance he is proud of are not worth mentioning in front of Ji Yue.

"Ji Yue." Wei Lian raised his eyes, "I don't want the next life, you have to stay with me in this life."

Ji Yue smiled lightly: "No."

"Wei Lian, I will be with you in my next life and the next."

The spell on Ji Yue's body could not be delayed, they only rested for one night, and planned to leave the next day.

That night Ji Yue gave Wei Lian another antidote, and nodded his forehead: "Fortunately, I brought two on this trip, don't crush them this time."

Wei Lian took the antidote, snorted lightly, and turned his head away.

That's so cute.

Ji Yue couldn't hold back, rubbed Wei Lian's head, and kissed him on the forehead again.

Wei Lian rubbed his messy hair back angrily, and was scratched by Ji Yue on the couch for a long time, laughing so hard that he could only beg for mercy.

The next day, the team was ready to go.

The plague in Jiangzhou has passed, and the imperial envoy will return to Yongping today.But Ji Yue and Wei Lian were not among them.

They were about to leave Jiangzhou with the convoy, so they parted ways.The large army returned to Yongping, and they traveled across mountains and rivers to Liang Guo.

This time, there were only Ji Yue and Wei Lian, and the two horses, Xiaobai and Xiaohong, all dressed lightly.

It is said to the outside world——Weifu private visit.

Ji Yue had deployed the plan for half a year at one time before, but now it came in handy.Without him, the court can run in an orderly manner, and with Xie Chen and several confidant ministers in charge, they can still stabilize the situation after they disappear for three months.

On the contrary, many ministers were puzzled by this - no wonder His Majesty suddenly became a workaholic a few days ago. It turned out that he wanted to spare time for private visits.That makes sense.

Once the Jiangzhou plague is over, those officials involved should naturally settle their accounts after the fall.Although Ji Yue hadn't returned to the palace, the imperial edict had already been drawn up. Those who made meritorious deeds would be promoted to nobles and rewarded with land, and those who dereliction of duty for officials, those who filled their pockets, and those who took advantage of the fire to rob would all be sent to prison for food.

If the circumstances are as serious as Liu Rengui and Zhang Xuwen, they will be executed directly.

Ji Yue never tolerated rape.

Mr. Lin's medical clinic was also ordered to be repaired long ago, and a clothes tomb was erected in Qingping County.Ji Yue and Wei Lian each wrote their own inscriptions.

The topic is still the cliché: I hope people in the world are free from disease, even if the medicine on the shelf creates dust.

The plague was resolved, and many people were grateful to the imperial court, especially the imperial physician who had been taking care of them for several days. They wanted to erect a monument for them and collect a statue for the savior.Wei Lian politely declined after learning about it, but said: "If you want to make an offering, you can make an offering to the old man."

"He is the one you should remember most."

This is also the unanimous wish of all imperial physicians.

When Ji Yue was getting dressed in the early morning, Wei Lian picked from his luggage and stuffed Ji Yue with a white fox mask: "Put it on."

Ji Yue was startled: "Ah Lian thinks I'm ugly?"

Ji Yue doesn't look ugly now.He was born too gorgeous, with that patch of red at the end of his eye, which does not hide his flaws, but instead has a trace of inexplicable charm, he is so beautiful that he is boundless.

"Don't you think it's strange to have so much red all of a sudden?" Wei Lian glanced at him.

Although it's not ugly, it's hard for others to think too much when they see it.

Ji Yue: "..." Isn't it strange to have an extra mask all of a sudden?

He put on the mask obediently, covering the upper half of his face: "Why do you still wear a mask?"

"Don't you remember?" Wei Lian packed his luggage without looking back, "You gave it to me when I went to Yuan Ye. I thought I would never see you again, so I have to bring something to keep in mind, otherwise it will be too much... "

Before he finished speaking, he was hugged from behind.

"Don't miss me." Ji Yue whispered, "I won't be separated from you."

Wei Lian's movements paused, and he smiled a little: "Yeah."

The day of departure was a fine weather, the sun dispelled the haze that had been hanging over the sky for several months, Xia Chuanqing and a group of local officials saw them off.

When the team was about to leave the city, a burst of music suddenly came from behind.

Ji Yue and Wei Lian beat their horses and turned around, the soldiers turned around, and the imperial doctors in the carriage opened the sedan chair curtain.

The soldiers were subconsciously alert, and Ji Yue ordered them not to act rashly.

It was the people of the entire Jiangzhou who spontaneously came to see them off.

They all knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Long live Your Majesty! Thousand years old son!"

Zhou Xiaoshan didn't kneel, her current legs are not strong enough to support her to complete the difficult action of kneeling.

She is standing.

Zhou Yushan waved his hand at Wei Lian: "Thank you for your kindness, sir!"

"Young Master is the savior of our Jiangzhou!"

A folk band was playing joy to them, and the sound of the suona was particularly loud.

This band is well-known in several counties, and they are usually invited to play joyful or mourning music when there are weddings and funerals at home.In the past few months, they had played all the mourning music of the past ten years. At that time, every family was going to have funerals, and everyone was not happy, only numbness and despair and ashes were left.

Now finally came the long-lost joy.

There were also some enthusiastic civilians who rushed forward with eggs and rice noodles to distribute to the soldiers who had worked hard for several months.Some stood by the carriage and stuffed the prepared gifts to the imperial physician inside through the window.

Xu Wenqing's carriage was also stuffed into a garland by a little girl. The little girl stood outside the window and smiled innocently: "Thank you brother for saving my mother."

Xu Wenqing blushed, and after the little girl left, she whispered, "I'm a big man, what kind of flowers do I wear..."

The young imperial physician at the side reached out to get it: "If you don't wear it, I will wear it."

Xu Wenqing immediately put the wreath in her arms: "Mine!"

——Who says everyone is ungrateful?

At this moment, Xu Wenqing felt that what the young master said was really reasonable.

How could he deny the whole world just because he saw a little bit of hell.

……

Wei Lian looked at it silently for a while, then turned around and met Ji Yue's eyes.

The two smiled at each other.

He said, "That's great."

so good.

When he first came to Qingping County, ghosts and wolves were howling everywhere, full of death, fear, and sorrow.The entire sky seemed to have faded gray and white, and there was endless sorrow and joy.

Here he has seen greed, selfishness, ugliness, all the most unspeakable evils in the world, all staged in an absurd and realistic way.

Now that they are gone, it is sunny.The last memory brought to him here is gratitude, kindness, purity, vivid and bright colors, cheerful and warm music.

The sun behind the clouds is dappled through the broken leaves.

Qingping's music is so sweet.
