It is not difficult to send Tan Qingxuan to Changle Palace.

Tan Qingxuan was originally the daughter of the Imperial Physician Tan, who worked as a female doctor in the Imperial Hospital. Xiao Jining sent someone to deliver the letter to her earlier, so Tan Qingxuan had been waiting in the Changle Palace for a long time.

Xiao Jining still saw these two people holding hands and looking at each other with tears in their eyes after they met, knelt down and thanked Xiao Jining before leaving Changle Palace.

Speaking of which, Tan Qingxuan was also wearing a red dress tonight, standing side by side with Ruan Jiaren, they were both good-looking and well-matched, and Xiao Jining felt very relieved to see that their lovers could be together.

But Mu Kui didn't know about Tan Qingxuan and Ruan Jiaren's affairs, he followed Xiao Jining with a hesitant expression on his face, and in the end he couldn't help but said to Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty, today is the day between the Queen and you, Are you really not staying with the Queen?"

Xiao Jining strolled with his hands behind his back, and said: "Don't stay, let's talk about it another day."

"Eh?" Mu Kui didn't know why, although he felt that it was not good to do so, but it was Xiao Jining's answer after all, so he didn't disobey.

And Xiao Jining walked for a while, suddenly stopped and asked Mu Kui: "By the way, Mu Kui, last time I asked you to find someone to ask for General Jing's night watch, have you arrived yet?"

"The emperor's order, how could the maidservant forget it?" Mu Kui smiled, took out a piece of paper from his cuff and handed it to Xiao Jining, "Of course it's coming, Your Majesty, please read it."

That piece of paper was naturally Jing Yuan's night watch, Xiao Jining looked at it twice, but frowned and said: "Eh? General Jing is not on duty tonight."

Mu Kui said: "Yes, Your Majesty, General Jing will be on duty tomorrow night."

"Oh, let's not go shopping." Xiao Jining sighed, he was still wearing a bright red wedding dress, "It's getting late, go back to sleep."

Indeed, it was already time to go to bed, but Xiao Jining was supposed to rest at the Changle Palace. When he and Mu Kui walked to the South Gate of the Imperial Garden, they suddenly saw a tall man with his back facing him at the South Gate. Talk to the guards on patrol tonight.

But even though the man was not facing him, Xiao Jining recognized that man as Jing Yuan at a glance.

So Xiao Jining immediately lit up his eyes and walked towards him happily: "General Jing——!"

Hearing the sound, Jing Yuan immediately turned around, raised the corners of his lips and half-kneeled in front of Xiao Jining: "My minister sees the emperor."

"General Jing, aren't you on duty tonight?" Xiao Jining asked him, "Why are you here?"

"It's true that I'm not on duty tonight, but I'm worried about Your Majesty, so I changed shifts with Yan Weichang, who is watching the night tonight." Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining and smiled, and asked him meaningfully with raised eyebrows, "But what about your majesty?" Do you know that Wei Chen is not on duty tonight?"

After all, generally speaking, the emperors have never paid attention to who is on duty tonight. How can the emperors who are busy with such trivial matters care?Although Jing Yuan knew why Xiao Jining knew, but he just wanted to ask why he knew it.

And how could Xiao Jining answer?

He was asked by Jing Yuan before he realized that he had slipped his mouth.

He hesitated twice, pretending that he didn't hear the question Jing Yuan asked behind him, but answered his previous question: "I'm fine, what worries General Jing?"

But despite what he said, Xiao Jining still raised his hand to let Mu Kui and Xi Shu and other palace officials stay away from him a little, so that Jing Yuan and him could walk in front and talk quietly.

So after making sure that no third person here could hear them, Jing Yuan said tactfully: "Your Majesty understands what I am worried about."

"General Jing doesn't need to care about them. You know, I don't like them." Xiao Jining said, "Because I don't like them, I don't care about them."

However, Jing Yuan laughed when he heard the words, but said: "Even if Your Majesty said so, I still don't feel at ease."

Xiao Jining asked him: "Why?"

Jing Yuan lowered his eyes and followed behind Xiao Jining, his deep voice almost rang in Xiao Jining's ears: "Because His Majesty has not had a good rest for several days, and walks alone in the imperial garden every night."

"Wow!" Xiao Jining didn't expect Jing Yuan to know about this, "Which palace official and General Jing told you the secret?"

"Do you still need the palace servants to inform you?" Jing Yuan asked him back, "Your Majesty hasn't slept well in recent days, can't I see the black and blue eyes?"

When Jing Yuan said these words, his gaze was always on Xiao Jining.As he said in his words, his care and care for Xiao Jining was more meticulous and focused than anyone else.

He was almost walking beside Xiao Jining, but he was always one step behind Xiao Jining.

This is the distance that the ruler and his ministers must keep. In this world, the only person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with the emperor is his empress. Therefore, no matter how much Xiao Jining trusts him, this distance is also an insurmountable gap between them.

To be honest, Jing Yuan didn't think he had any regrets, or any unwillingness.

This position is not bad for him, he can still rely on his stature to be taller than Xiao Jining, he can unscrupulously lower his head and lower his eyes, use his gaze to outline the young man's ears, thin white neck, look at This soft and beautiful boy, in such a dark and dirty palace, still maintains his superfluous kindness, and occasionally plays tricks that he thinks he is right.

This feeling, Jing Yuan can't describe it exactly, it's like he is so pathetic, a person whose hands are full of blood hatred can cultivate a clean flower seedling with his own hands, he can watch it sprout, stretch and bloom, and this The flowers are slender, weak, and easy to die young. Only in his arms can they live a peaceful and smooth life.

In the more than twenty years of his life, this was the only thing that made Jing Yuan feel that it was worth doing for him.

However, after his words fell, the boy who was walking in front of him suddenly stopped, and suddenly turned to look at him.

So the pair of clean almond eyes and the young man's clean and soft face fell straight into Jing Yuan's pupils, and then fell into his heart with a "bang", which made his heart flutter for a moment. Halfway through—and he didn't have time to stop.

At that step, the distance between the ruler and the subject should be kept, it is not known whether it was erased by Xiao Jining's sudden stop, or by Jing Yuan's sudden stop.

They stood facing each other, facing each other.

The young man frowned slightly, and said to Jing Yuan with some helplessness and grievance: "This palace is too big, I live in it alone and there is no one to talk to me."

Jing Yuan looked at Xiao Jining's light-colored lips, and listened to all the young man's words, but he had to look directly at the words in his heart.

On weekdays, Da Xiao's imperial guards all wear black and white imperial army uniforms, but today is the wedding of the new emperor and empress, just like when the crown prince married the crown princess, all the imperial army's inner shirts in the palace will be replaced on this day. Under the black armor would be ocher red clothes, and he could walk with Xiao Jining who was wearing red clothes.

So he asked himself in his heart: Why did he have to change shifts with Yan Weichang tonight?Why would he do even such a boring thing of self-deception?

Because even though he knew that Xiao Jining and Ruan Jiaren didn't like each other, he still felt that it was like a thorn in his heart.He hadn't felt such pain and sadness for many years, but when he really felt it, Jing Yuan suddenly felt that he was full, and he insisted on torturing himself like this, but he was willing to do so.

At this moment, under the hazy moonlight and in the silent night, Jing Yuan suddenly had a bigger ambition than the oath he made when he was young to become the emperor—he really wanted to try, and he had more courage , to touch the flower he likes.

He asked Xiao Jining: "Your Majesty is not happy sitting in this position?"

"It's not that I feel unhappy sitting in this position." Xiao Jining shook his head, he felt very comfortable with Jing Yuan, and he could safely say these words to Jing Yuan, "It's just that I feel that no matter how you sit, As long as I don't get what I want most, I won't be happy."

When he said the last sentence, Xiao Jining didn't even call himself Zhen anymore.

And Jing Yuan did not call him "Your Majesty" or "Emperor", but called Xiao Jining again, the title he had called him for many years: "Then what does Your Highness want most?"

"What I want most..."

Xiao Jining was also a little dazed, and murmured these words in a low voice.

What does he want most?

Xiao Jining thought of what he wanted most when he was alive in his last life, including when he first came to this world. At first he thought it was a family relationship, but he already had two good brothers, the Seventh Prince and the Eighth Prince, but he was still not enough happy.

So what exactly does he want?

"What I want most is..." However, before Xiao Jining could speak, the watch clock in the capital suddenly rang.

The long and distant sound of the bell seems to have come from eternity, spreading to every corner of the palace, and Mu Kui also approached Xiao Jining with his head down, persuading him: "Your Majesty, it's late at night, you really should go to bed .”

Xiao Jining suddenly came back to his senses, and realized that if he didn't go to sleep, he might really not be able to wake up tomorrow morning, so he said to Jing Yuan: "Wow, General Jing, I really have to go to sleep."

Jing Yuan twitched the corners of his lips, and said, "That humble minister will send His Majesty back."

Xiao Jining nodded: "Okay."

But then he pretended to ask Jing Yuan again: "Oh, by the way, General Jing, I feel very happy to visit the Imperial Garden with you at night today. I don't know when you will be on duty again?"

Jing Yuan smiled, and told him softly: "Your Majesty, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I will be on duty."

Xiao Jining said: "I've made a note of it."

After Jing Yuan sent Xiao Jining back to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, he didn't leave until the lights in the hall were completely extinguished.

But he is not in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. He is on the golden roof of Xuanzhengyuan, which is the highest place in the entire imperial city. Standing here, he can have a panoramic view of the entire imperial city. In fact, as long as he is willing to , he can even own this piece of the world, and Jingyue is no longer his opponent.

However, what Jing Yuan was looking at was only the Hall of Mental Cultivation where Xiao Jining was sleeping at the moment, which was an insignificant square inch compared to this world.

Jing Yuan sat down slowly, caressing the cold eaves under the palm of his hand, and whispered to himself——

"Isn't this position what you want most?"

"I thought it was the best, and you might like it."

"Besides it, I don't seem to have anything good to give you."

"Then what do you want most?"

The author has something to say: It may be a little late to update these days, sorry _(:з」∠)_
