Still no time to bug Orz...

Thanks for your support, love it.

After being raised for half a month, Shen Jiahe's health finally recovered.

Pei Yi has been delayed for too long, Pei Muyan issued two imperial edicts to urge him.He really likes his current life so much, he really wants to stay with Shen Jiahe like this until he grows old.But he had to go back to Xunyang, otherwise Pei Muyan would definitely anger Shen Jiahe.

Still the fastest way to go.

It was the first time for Nian Nian to take a boat, and she was so dizzy that she couldn't stop vomiting. Even the accompanying doctors couldn't do anything.

Pei Yi ordered to dock and take a carriage instead.

Nian Nian was still very weak, with a pale face, and fell asleep on Shen Jiahe's lap.

Pei Yi said: "Don't worry too much, he will be fine after resting."

Shen Jiahe nodded, and said worriedly: "It's just that it will take some time on the road."

Pei Yi smiled and said, "It's okay, at worst, I'll get a beating when I go back, so I can just rest in bed and let you take care of me personally."

Shen Jiahe said: "Can you have a positive shape?"

Pei Yi said: "I've always been in good shape in front of others, but when I'm with you, I don't. Do you know why?"

Shen Jiahe didn't cooperate with him and was too lazy to pick up the slack.

Pei Yi had long been used to his lack of cooperation, so he said, "Because you've seen all my looks, good and bad, so I don't have to pretend in front of you, and I can relax and be myself." He paused, and then Said: "I hope you can do the same. You can put aside all burdens and shackles in front of me, have no scruples, and just be the real Shen Jiahe."

Why didn't Shen Jiahe want to do this?

But easier said than done.In life, no one can really break free from the shackles.

After two days, Nian Nian was finally alive and kicking again, and Shen Jiahe finally felt relieved.

The journey speeded up, and after more than 20 days, they finally arrived in Xunyang.

Pei Yi settled Shen Jiahe and Niannian in the Prince's Mansion, and then went into the palace.Shen Jiahe also had someone he wanted to see urgently. As soon as Pei Yi left, he left the Prince's Mansion and went to Ye Jiaze's mansion.

Xunyang City is still a prosperous scene, the war has not left too many traces, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment.

Standing in front of the door of Ye Mansion, Shen Jiahe felt a little homely and timid for a moment, and he knocked on the door after a while.

The gatekeeper looked at him strangely and said, "Who are you looking for?"

Shen Jiahe said: "I'm looking for the little prince, please let me know, my name is Shen Jiahe."

The gatekeeper nodded, closed the door and left.

Not long after, the door opened, Zhu Yulou came out, bent down to salute, and said, "Young Master Shen, please follow me."

Shen Jiahe recognized him as Ye Jiaze's attendant, followed him into the mansion, and couldn't help asking: "My lord... is he alright?"

Zhu Yulou looked worried, and said, "It's not very good."

Shen Jiahe was startled, and hurriedly asked, "What happened to him?"

Zhu Yulou said: "The little prince is ill, and has been lingering in bed for more than a month. The doctor has seen a lot, and the medicine has not been taken less, but there is no improvement."

Shen Jiahe said, "What's wrong with you?"

Zhu Yulou said: "I don't know, the little prince just said it's an old illness, and it will be healed after spring."

While talking, the two had already entered the courtyard where Ye Jiaze lived.

Zhu Yulou consciously stopped and let Shen Jiahe go in alone.

Shen Jiahe went straight into the room, and a smell of medicine hit his face.

When he saw Ye Jiaze sitting on the bed with a pale face, he was so sad that he almost shed tears.

Ye Jiaze smiled weakly and said, "Brother, you're back."

As soon as the words fell, he immediately coughed violently.

Shen Jiahe hurried over, supported his hunched body with one hand, and stroked his thin chest with the other to comfort him.

When the coughing stopped, Shen Jiahe got up to pour tea, took a sip, and the temperature was just right, so he fed Ye Jiaze to drink it, and then asked with concern, "Is it better?"

Ye Jiaze nodded slightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's much better, I really don't want you to see me like a sick child."

Shen Jiahe said: "What exactly is your illness? Is it serious? Can it be cured well?"

Ye Jiaze said: "This is a disease brought about by beating my mother's womb. It only occurs in spring. Although it can't be cured, I can't die. It's just tormenting people. It's really not serious. Brother, don't worry too much."

Shen Jiahe said: "How can I not be worried? You are the only relative I have in this world who is connected by blood. I will definitely not let you have trouble."

Ye Jiaze smiled reassuringly and said, "I'll be fine."

Shen Jiahe said: "Is there really no cure for this disease? Even if it can't be cured, is there any medicine that can make you feel better?"

Ye Jiaze shook his head, and said, "This disease occurs every spring, but this year it's more severe. Maybe the climate in Xunyang is too dry."

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and said, "If you go back to Lulin, will your illness be better?"

Ye Jiaze said: "It's impossible to return to Lulin, we can only wait for the spring to pass. Let's not talk about this, how did you come here during this time? Did you suffer a lot?"

Shen Jiahe shook his head and said, "I'm fine. I've been living in Fengze all this time, and I haven't suffered much. But you, living in Xunyang, a place of right and wrong, must be very difficult."

Ye Jiaze said: "I'm from Beilan, and I'm not involved in the civil strife of the Xia people. The Helan family was too busy to take care of me. After Xunyang City was broken, Pei Yi came to me personally and said that I was abused by you." I was entrusted to take care of me, so that no one would dare to trouble me, and I stayed in the mansion all day, and it was actually a bit more comfortable than when the world was peaceful."

"That's good." Shen Jiahe suddenly thought of Nian Nian, and said: "I adopted a foster son last summer. He is six years old this year. His first name is Ji Nianxu, and his nickname is Nian Nian. He is smart and cute. Come and see you."

Ye Jiaze smiled and said, "Then I am an uncle?"

Shen Jiahe nodded and said, "Yes."

Ye Jiaze said: "Then quickly bring him to see me, my disease is not contagious, so I won't get mad at him."

Shen Jiahe said: "Okay."

Shen Jiahe was worried that Ye Jiaze was too tired, so he asked him to lie down and rest after talking for a while.

Ye Jiaze refused to sleep at first, but his energy was low, and he fell into a drowsy sleep not long after lying down.

Shen Jiahe sat by the bed, looked at his younger brother's haggard appearance, and felt pain and pity in his heart.

He couldn't just watch him stuck here lingering on the sick bed, he had to send him back to Beilan, to go home.

At sunset, Ye Jiaze was still awake.

Shen Jiahe got up and left, and said to Zhu Yulou who was guarding the door: "He is still sleeping, when he wakes up tell him for me, I will come to see him in two days."

Zhu Yulou said: "Okay."

Shen Jiahe went straight back to the Prince's Mansion.

Pei Yi hadn't come back from the palace yet, so he probably won't be back until after dinner.

Shen Jiahe didn't feel hungry, so he took two casual bites of food with Niannian.

After dinner, he asked Niannian to go down to rest, while he went to take a bath.

Soaked in the warm hot water, the fatigue accumulated all the way was gradually relieved.

There are colorful flower petals floating on the water, and the rich floral fragrance is wrapped in the steaming water vapor, lingering in the nose.

Shen Jiahe curled up his legs, moved his body down, and submerged himself in the water.

After a long time, when he felt suffocated, he came out of the water suddenly, wiped the water on his face, washed his hair with soap locust first, and then rubbed his whole body with a cloth towel, making his fair skin bright red.

The water is already a little cold.

Shen Jiahe came out of the tub, dried her hair and body, changed into clean inner clothes and outer robes, walked out of the bathroom, and said to the maid standing by: "Please, sister, take me to the residence of His Highness the Prince."

The maid promised to lead the way, followed by Shen Jiahe.

After arriving at the place, the maid left, Shen Jiahe thanked her, and went in without anyone daring to stop her.

Candles filled the room, making the room as bright as day.

Shen Jiahe blew out most of the lights, making the light dim.

Lifting the snow-white gauze curtain and walking to the bed, took off the outer robe and threw it aside, went to bed, lifted the brocade quilt, and lay down with his arm on his head.

Ru Mo's long hair is spread out, and his face is more and more beautiful.

Shen Jiahe was lying on his side, looking at the flickering candlelight through the fluttering veil, his mood fluttered like duckweed in the rain.

Just close your eyes.

He was bumpy all the way, and he never had a peaceful night's sleep. Now he was lying on the soft and comfortable mattress, even though he was full of thoughts, sleepiness still hit him very quickly.

I don't know how long I slept, and suddenly woke up.

As soon as he opened his eyes, Pei Yi's face came into view.

Pei Yi said softly, "Did I wake you up?"

Shen Jiahe shook his head slightly, and said, "What time is it?"

Pei Yi said, "It's just passed the time of Xu."

Shen Jiahe said: "You just came back?"

"Well," Pei Yi said, "I had dinner with my father, mother and concubine, and discussed some court affairs, so I came back late."

Shen Jiahe examined him and said, "The emperor didn't beat you, did he?"

Pei Yi laughed and said, "I'm the crown prince now, he can no longer beat me up at will, and I always have to worry about the face of the royal family."

Shen Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good."

Pei Yi moved closer to him, smiled and said, "Are you worried about me?"

Shen Jiahe lowered his eyes and did not look at him, was silent for a moment, and gave a low "hmm".

Pei Yi smiled, stretched out his hand to lift his chin, and said, "Why are you so obedient today?"

Shen Jiahe looked up at him, and said in a low voice: "Didn't you tell me to be myself in front of you? I am now being myself."

Looking at each other, Pei Yi suddenly sensed something unusual in Shen Jiahe's gaze, which made his heart tremble.

"You smell so sweet..." Pei Yi moved closer to him, rubbed the tip of his nose lightly against his, and said in a low voice, "I want to kiss you... is that okay?"

Shen Jiahe didn't make a sound, but slowly closed his eyes.

Immediately, Pei Yi's heart was pounding like a deer, like a young man who had just experienced love. He was so excited that he even trembled a little.

He held Shen Jiahe's face with both hands, closed his eyes, and kissed his soft lips lightly, it fell apart as soon as he touched it, paused for a moment, and then kissed again like a superficial kiss.

Pei Yi backed away a little, opened his eyes, and stared at Shen Jiahe's face.

His eyes were still closed, his long eyelashes trembling slightly, like the wings of a butterfly.

Pei Yi opened his mouth to say something, but no sound came out.

He was a little scared, afraid of scaring Shen Jiahe, and even more afraid of ruining this long-awaited lost and recovered.

Pei Yi kissed Shen Jiahe again, full of fear and piety.

Thick passion-desire quickly grows in the shallow and deep lingering kisses, and the fiery desire-fire spreads crazily in the galloping blood.

Before his reason was burnt out, Pei Yi forced himself to stop, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jiahe, open your eyes and look at me."

Shen Jiahe slowly opened his eyes and met Pei Yi's gaze.

Pei Yi had never been so nervous and afraid in his life. He stared at Shen Jiahe without blinking, and said word by word: "I want you, do you want it?"

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and said lightly but firmly: "Yes." This body is the only bargaining chip he has, as long as it can be exchanged for his brother's freedom, he is willing to give everything.

Pei Yi will always remember this moment in his life.

He couldn't use any words to describe his mood at this time, he was trembling all over, and tears poured out of his eyes uncontrollably.

He hugged Shen Jiahe tightly, and kept kissing him while murmuring intermittently: "Thank you...thank you..."

Hot tears kept falling on Shen Jiahe's face, he suddenly felt sorry for this man, felt a little guilty, and regretted.

But the matter has come to this point, and he has no way out.

Shen Jiahe held Pei Yi's face, wiped away his tears, and said softly, "Why are you crying like this? Like a child."

Pei Yi hugged him tightly, and said in embarrassment, "I don't know why the tears flowed down, it's really shameful."

Shen Jiahe said: "Don't worry, I won't laugh at you."

Pei Yi pretended to be vicious and said: "If you dare to laugh at me, I will beat your son!"

Shen Jiahe smiled slightly and said, "That Nian Nian is really wronged."

Pei Yi said: "I can't bear to beat you, so I can only beat him. It's only natural for me to beat my son."

Shen Jiahe said: "I seem to have heard this somewhere before."

Pei Yi grinned and said, "This is Lao Pei's catchphrase."

You are talking to me sentence by sentence, and the tide of emotion recedes slowly.

After hearing that "yes", Pei Yi felt great satisfaction, he was not at all in a hurry to wipe Shen Jiahe off, he was more willing to hug him and whisper in a low voice, tenderly.He felt unbelievable, but this was his truest thought at this moment, he just followed his heart.The cuddling of the soul and the intercourse of the body, he prefers the former at the moment.

While talking, Shen Jiahe actually fell asleep.

He felt that it would be safer to bring up Ye Jiaze's matter after a while, lest Pei Yi think that he was repeating his old tricks, and if he got angry, it would be counterproductive.

Pei Yi didn't feel sleepy at all.

He quietly stared at Shen Jiahe's sleeping face until dawn, then got up energetically and went to court.

When Shen Jiahe woke up, it was past half hour.

Get up and wash, and have breakfast with Niannian.

After dinner, Niannian went to class.

He studied literature in the morning, and his teacher was Mr. Fu, Pei Yi's former teacher. In the afternoon, he studied martial arts, and his teacher was still Jing Wu.

Although Nian Nian likes martial arts and dislikes literature as much as Pei Yi, he still has to read books. He can't grow up and not even know a single big character, which makes people laugh at him.

Shen Jiahe had nothing to do, and suddenly remembered the Book Collection Pavilion he used to go to in the Prince's Mansion, so he planned to find a few books to pass the time.

But she didn't expect to meet Shen Luoyu in the Library Pavilion.

Shen Luoyu greeted with a smile: "Long time no see."

Shen Jiahe also said "Long time no see", and then said: "Are you free? Sit down and chat."

Shen Luoyu said: "What I have the most right now is free time."

The two sat down by the window.

The warm sun shines on the body, which is very comfortable.

The person who wanted to chat was Shen Jiahe, but he didn't know how to speak.After deliberating for a moment, he said in a flat voice: "His Royal Highness told me that he intends to take you as his concubine."

Shen Luoyu said: "I originally just wanted to be a concubine, but I didn't expect that His Royal Highness would allow me to be a side concubine. Although I don't know why he did this, but since he is willing to give it to me, I dare to give it to me." want."

Shen Jiahe asked: "Aren't you afraid that he will use you?"

Shen Luoyu smiled slightly, and said, "I should be happy that I still have the value of being used."

Shen Jiahe was silent for a moment, and said, "What do you want from the prince?"

"It's very simple, it can be summed up in four words: prosperity, wealth and honor." Shen Luoyu paused, and said, "You should still remember stepping on the snow, right?"

Shen Jiahe was startled, feeling a pain in his heart, and said: "Remember."

Shen Luoyu said: "Back then, Taxue fell ill on the way to Xunyang, but the princess was only worried about missing the Longevity Festival, and she didn't even want to stop the boat to invite a doctor for her, so she just let her suffer. , who knows that she died of illness before arriving in Xunyang. What happened after the illness? Just find a servant and bury her, without even a funeral. Later I heard people say that the servant had For the funeral expenses of a few taels of silver, just throw Taxue's body at the mass grave."

Hearing this, Shen Jiahe said in surprise: "Is this really true?"

Shen Luoyu said: "It's true."

Shen Jiahe was so sad and angry that he couldn't say a word.

Shen Luoyu said directly: "I don't want to be like Treading Xue, a slave and handmaid for the rest of my life, being scorned and belittled, and finally die in a foreign country. I want to do my best to climb up, I want to live a human life, and live a beautiful life Yushi's life. This is what I want from the prince."

Shen Jiahe was still immersed in the matter of Taxue, he asked in a deep voice: "Do you still remember who was the boy who left Taxue at the mass grave?"

Shen Luoyu thought about it for a moment, and said: "I have never met him, I only vaguely heard someone mention that his name seems to be Tian Fu."

"Tian Fu...I remember." Shen Jiahe stood up and said, "Thank you for telling me this, I'll go first."

After leaving Zangshu Pavilion, Shen Jiahe immediately found Ding Peng, the former head of the palace, and now the head of the prince's palace.

"Master Ding," Shen Jiahe asked, "Is there a servant named Tian Fu in the mansion?"

Ding Peng knew everything about the people and affairs in the mansion. After thinking for a while, he said, "There is no one named Tian Fu, but there is one named Tian Fu."

Shen Jiahe guessed that Shen Luoyu had misheard, so he said: "Can you call him here? I have something to ask him."

Ding Peng went to do it immediately, and after a while, the boy named Tian Fu was brought to Shen Jiahe.

Shen Jiahe said in a deep voice: "Let me ask you, on the eve of last year's Longevity Festival, did you ever obey the current queen's order to bury a maid?"

Tian Fu tremblingly said: "Indeed, there is such a thing."

Shen Jiahe said: "Where did you bury her?"

Tian Fu rolled his eyes and stammered, "I buried her in... that... I don't have a good memory, no, I don't remember."

Ding Peng said angrily, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll take your skin off!"

Tian Fu was so frightened that he fell to his knees with a plop, and said, "I left her in the mass grave in the west of the city!"

Ding Peng kicked him to the ground and cursed: "You bastard!" Ding Peng wanted to hit him again, but Shen Jiahe hurriedly grabbed him, and said to Tian Fu, who was curled up on the ground with his head in his arms, "You are now Take me to that mass grave and find the place where you threw your body."

Tian Fu hastily replied yes.

Tian Fu led the way, and Shen Jiahe took Yifeng with him to the mass grave in the west of Xunyang City.

The mass grave is in the depths of a forest. It is a large earth pit. The pit is full of weeds. Under the grass are white bones and several rotting corpses. Maggots are crawling everywhere. The strong smell of corpses is suffocating It made people unable to breathe, and saw a few wild dogs wandering around, lowering their heads and gnawing on the carrion on the corpse.

When he thought of Ta Xue's body being thrown here, beaten by the wind and rain, and bitten by wild dogs, Shen Jiahe's heart ached like it was twisting, wishing he could kill Tian Fu and throw him in this mass grave.But doing so has no benefit other than recreating a lonely ghost.

Shen Jiahe suppressed his grief and indignation, and said: "Yifeng, bring more people tomorrow to bury all the bones in this mass grave."

Yifeng said: "Okay."

Shen Jiahe didn't want to stay any longer, turned around and left, saying: "Let's go back."

Back at the Prince's Mansion, Shen Jiahe still couldn't get rid of his grief and indignation.

His grief could not be released, and his resentment had nowhere to vent, so he could only endure it silently.

As soon as Pei Yi came back, Ding Peng reported to him what happened today.

After listening, Pei Yi said coldly: "Beat that Tian Fu to death with a stick, chop it up and throw it to the dogs."

Ding Peng took the order and left, Pei Yi asked Yifeng, "Where is Jiahe now?"

Yifeng said: "As soon as I came back, I went into the room and lay down, and there has been no movement until now."

Pei Yi frowned and said, "Understood, you all go down."

Yifeng left with all the servants.

Pei Yi went straight into the room, and saw Shen Jiahe curled up on the bed with his back facing him, not sure if he was awake or asleep.

He walked over lightly, sat down by the bed, and called softly: "Jiahe?"

Shen Jiahe lay quietly and did not respond.

Pei Yi took off his shoes and went to bed, hugged Shen Jiahe's body from behind, reached out to hold his hand, it was cold to the touch, and he couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Are you sad?" Pei Yi said softly, "Cry out when you're sad, don't hold back."

A tear flowed from the corner of his eye.

Two drops, three drops... The tears flowed more and more, surging down.

Pei Yi's heart ached so much, she turned her around and hugged her tightly, and coaxed her softly, "Cry, it's fine if you just cry."

Shen Jiahe buried her face deeply in Pei Yi's solid chest, weeping uncontrollably.

He has been used to forbearance since he was a child. Whether it's happiness or sadness, he doesn't show it very well, especially in front of Pei Yi. He always wraps himself into a hard cocoon, hiding all his emotions in the cocoon, and never Make people aware of half points.

But today, at the moment when Pei Yi hugged him from behind, a hole was suddenly opened in the well-wrapped cocoon, and all the sadness and resentment poured out, making him unable to resist, and tears poured down like rain.

Pei Yi patted his trembling body lightly, and said softly, "I know that you and Taxue have a very close relationship, just like siblings. Don't worry, I will definitely bury her generously, treat her family kindly, and let her live in Nine Springs." I can rest in peace." He paused, and then said: "Also, my mother did something wrong, and I'll say sorry to Taxue and you on her behalf."

It's okay if he doesn't mention it, but when he mentions it, all the hatred has a target.

Shen Jiahe couldn't do anything to Wei Huijun who was a queen, so he could only vent his anger on Pei Yi. Although this was unreasonable, he didn't want to be reasonable today.

He came out of Pei Yi's arms suddenly, kicked and hit him.

Pei Yi let him beat him, and when he was tired, he hugged him again and said, "Do you feel better?"

Shen Jiahe did feel a lot better, tears stopped, he was silent for a moment, apologized for his unreasonable trouble just now, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm sorry."

"Fool, I'm sorry for what you said." Pei Yi gently wiped away the remaining tears on his face, and said, "I said before, you can treat me as you like, and you are the only one in this world who can treat me as you like, even my parents no."

Shen Jiahe sat up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I need your help." Taking advantage of Pei Yi's soft heart, this was a good opportunity to ask him to let Ye Jiaze go.

Pei Yi smiled slightly, and said, "Just tell me what to do."

Shen Jiahe hesitated for a moment, then said, "Can you... let Ye Jiaze go back to Beilan?"

Pei Yi was startled when he heard the words, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I know that your relationship with Ye Jiaze is extraordinary, first tell me what your relationship is, and then I will decide whether to let him go back to Beilan."

Can he tell him the secret?

If Pei Yi found out about Ye Jiaze's true identity, what adverse consequences would there be?

It doesn't seem to be.

Shen Jiahe decided to take a gamble.

Shen Jiahe looked at Pei Yi, and said, "Ye Jiaze's surname is not Ye, but Shen. His name is Shen Jiaze, and he is my younger brother."

Although Pei Yi once had such a guess, but hearing Shen Jiahe say this with his own ears, he still found it unbelievable and unbelievable.More, but happy.Shen Jiahe was willing to open his heart and share such an important secret with him, which showed that Shen Jiahe trusted him, how could he not be overjoyed?Pei Yi held Shen Jiahe's hand, and said softly, "There must be a twists and turns in this story, can you tell me?"

Shen Jiahe then told Pei Yi all the old stories that Ye Jiaze had told him, and how they met each other.

After hearing this, Pei Yi sighed and sighed, "The world is really unpredictable."

Shen Jiahe looked at him expectantly and said, "So, are you willing to help me?"

"Is there even a need to ask?" Pei Yi said, "Your younger brother is my younger brother, there is absolutely no reason to stand idly by."

Shen Jiahe was moved in his heart, and said: "Jiaze is very sick now, there is no cure for medicine and stone, returning to Beilan will help him recuperate, so can you send him back to Beilan as soon as possible?"

Pei Yi said: "This matter is not difficult, I will go talk to my father tomorrow."

Shen Jiahe was overjoyed, hugged Pei Yi, and said, "Pei Yi, thank you! Thank you so much!"

Pei Yi was also very happy, hugged Shen Jiahe back, and said with a smile: "This seems to be the first time you threw yourself into my arms."

When he said this, Shen Jiahe suddenly felt embarrassed and wanted to get out of his arms, but Pei Yi didn't let go, saying, "Hey, let me hold you for a while."

Shen Jiahe hesitated for a while, then slowly softened his body, and stayed quietly in Pei Yi's arms.

Pei Yi's embrace is always as firm and warm as ever, just like his father's embrace when he was young, teaching people to be nostalgic for no reason.

Shen Jiahe quietly closed his eyes, a faint smile appeared on his lips, even he didn't notice it.

Yifeng brought back nearly [-] sets of bones from the mass grave, and specially invited a foreman to examine them.

Among them, more than [-] sets of bones were women, and according to the physical characteristics of Ta Xue, three sets were picked out of these [-] sets of bones, but it was impossible to tell which one of them belonged to the snow.

Pei Yi then ordered that all three sets of bones be buried with honor, and the name of Ta Xue was engraved on the tombstones.

At this point, Shen Jiahe finally had an explanation for Taxue, feeling a little at ease.

The next day, Shen Jiahe took Nian Nian to visit Ye Jiaze.

Nian Nian looked at Ye Jiaze, then at Shen Jiahe, then at Ye Jiaze, and said in surprise, "You two look alike, like twins."

Ye Jiaze looked a little better today, sitting in the shade under the eaves to enjoy the breeze.

He smiled and waved towards Niannian, and said, "Come to me."

Niannian walked over and said: "Daddy said you are his younger brother, I should call you uncle." He bowed politely and said: "Nephew Ji Nianxu pays respects to uncle."

Ye Jiaze stretched out his hand to help him up, the more he watched, the happier he became, and he felt like they were supposed to be a family.

"Uncle," Nian Nian said while holding his knuckle-protruding hand, shaking it slightly, "Do you know martial arts?"

Ye Jiaze nodded and said, "And it's very powerful."

"That's great!" Nian Nian said happily, "Teach me martial arts when you recover from illness, okay?"

Ye Jiaze smiled and said, "Okay."

Shen Jiahe said helplessly from the side: "You have become a martial arts idiot at such a young age, and you know how to learn martial arts all day long. I'm really worried that he will become obsessed when he grows up."

Ye Jiaze said: "It was the same when I was his age. The masters in the mansion were all pestered by me to teach me martial arts, because they especially longed to become stronger and protect those who wanted to protect." He turned to Nian Nian and said, "You Why learn martial arts?"

Nian Nian replied without thinking: "Because I want to protect Daddy from being bullied by bad guys."

Ye Jiaze patted his head and said with a smile, "What a good boy."

After a while, Shen Jiahe asked Zhu Yulou to take Niannian to play, leaving him alone with Ye Jiaze.

"Jiaze," Shen Jiahe said, "you have started to pack your bags in the past few days and prepare to go back to Beilan."

Ye Jiaze was silent for a moment, then said, "You went to beg Pei Yi, didn't you?"

Shen Jiahe nodded and said: "I also told him about our relationship, will this cause any harm to you?"

Ye Jiaze thought for a moment and said, "Probably not."

Shen Jiahe breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good."

Ye Jiaze immediately said, "But I won't leave."

Shen Jiahe was startled, and said, "Why?"

Ye Jiaze looked at him and said, "Unless you come with me."

Shen Jiahe's expression darkened, and he said, "I can't leave."

Ye Jiaze said, "Because of Pei Yi?"

Shen Jiahe said: "Pei Yi will never let me go, and now that I have Nian Nian, I can't go either."

Ye Jiaze said: "You can take Nian Nian and walk with me."

Shen Jiahe smiled wryly: "Then none of us can leave."

"If we want to go together, we must stay together." Ye Jiaze said, "Brother, I finally found you, and I will never leave you behind. Don't you want to live with me?"

"Of course I want to," Shen Jiahe said, "but I can't, at least not now."

"Because of Pei Yi again?" Ye Jiaze's eyes flashed fiercely, and he said in a deep voice, "I should have killed him back then!"

Shen Jiahe's heart tightened, and he said, "You must not mess around!"

Ye Jiaze stared at him, remained silent for a moment, and said, "Are you nervous about him?"

Shen Jiahe categorically denied it: "I didn't."

Ye Jiaze said again: "Have you fallen in love with him?"

Shen Jiahe smiled suddenly, and said: "How could I like him? There is no way I will like him in my life."

Ye Jiaze was silent for a long time, and said: "He is the prince now, and he will be the emperor in the future. It is impossible for you and him to have any results. Brother, it's best if you don't like him. If you like him at all, you should calm down quickly, lest you hurt in the future."

"You don't have to worry about me, I have my own measure." Shen Jiahe said: "The most important thing right now is your body, obediently listen to me, go back to Beilan to take care of your body, then you can come to Xunyang to see me, I will also I can go to Lulin to see you, and one day in the future, we will be able to live together happily and happily."

Ye Jiaze sighed slightly, and said, "I thought I was already stubborn, but I didn't expect you to be more stubborn than me."

Shen Jiahe laughed and said: "Our father is more stubborn. Mother often said that he is like a stone in a latrine, smelly and hard."

Ye Jiaze laughed and said, "Brother, tell me more about Dad."

"Okay." Shen Jiahe took out all the precious memories that were treasured in his heart and shared them with him. Although it was very limited, it was enough for him to reminisce for a lifetime.

Two days later, Ye Jiaze received an imperial order ordering him to return to Beilan.

After listening to Shen Jiahe's words, he had already made preparations, so he left the next day after receiving the imperial edict.

Shen Jiahe went to see him off, all the way out of Xunyang City.

"Remember to write to me often."

"Ah, you too."

"Thank you to Prince Zhu and Princess Delirium for me, thank them for raising you up and raising you so well."

"it is good."

"Speaking of which, you are also of marriageable age..."

"elder brother!"

"Haha, why are you still shy?"

Ye Jiaze laughed, and suddenly remembered something, raised his hand and took out the wreath from the lapel, under which were two pieces of unicorn jade, he took one of them and put it in Shen Jiahe's hand, saying: "Your jade will still be kept by you. "

When he made up his mind to assassinate He Lanjun, Shen Jiahe never thought that he would survive, so he asked He Lanjun to give this piece of jade to Ye Jiaze.Thinking of this, Shen Jiahe said: "By the way, I have been forgetting to ask, King Yu... is he still alive?"

Ye Jiaze's expression darkened, and he said, "The day Xunyang City was broken, he refused to surrender and died under Pei Yi's sword."

Shen Jiahe had already expected that Helan Cong's ending would not be good, and he still felt deeply saddened to hear him say this.

Recalling the first time they met, Helan Cong was dressed in brocade clothes, holding a folding fan in her hand, standing in front of him with a suave smile and said, "My servant, Zhao Youting, may I have the honor to invite you to have a cup of tea?"

When they met for the second time, they married Jinlan in the Temple of General Tiance, and vowed to "share happiness and share difficulties".

When they saw each other again, one of them was the aloof Yu Wang Helan Cong, and the other was a bird in a cage. He didn't want to drag him down, so he spoke sarcastically and sarcasticly to him.

What was the last word Helan Cong said to him?

"Whether it's Zhao Youting or He Lanxuan, it's me. I'm the one who swore to you. I'll always be your brother Zhan, Jiahe, you can't let it go."

If he had known that it would be the last time they met in this life, Shen Jiahe should have called him "Brother Zhan" again.

Every farewell in life may be a farewell forever.

Like him and Taxue, like him and Helan Cong.

Shen Jiahe suddenly felt full of fear, stretched out his arms to hug Ye Jiaze, and said, "Jiaze, you must live well."

Ye Jiaze knew what he was worried about, hugged him tightly, and said, "Brother, don't worry, I promised my mother that I would take care of you for her, and I will never break my promise."

Shen Jiahe suppressed tears and nodded vigorously.

Sending you thousands of miles, you have to say goodbye in the end.

Shen Jiahe stood by the road, looking at the rumbling carriage, full of reluctance and anxiety.

The depressed mood lasted until bedtime.

Pei Yi comforted him and said, "If you want to see him, I can call him anytime."

Shen Jiahe shook his head and said: "Lulin and Xunyang are separated by more than ten thousand miles, and it will take several months to go back and forth, which is too tiring."

"That's right." Pei Yi said, "But I can't bear the pain of running around for you..."

Shen Jiahe hurriedly said: "It's okay, I can bear the hardship, you allow me to go to Lulin to see him once a year, okay?"

Pei Yi said with a face of reluctance: "It will take several months to come and go. I can't bear such a long time of separation."

Shen Jiahe's expression darkened immediately, Pei Yi couldn't bear it, so he said, "Unless..."

When Shen Jiahe heard that there was a turning point, he hurriedly said, "Unless what?"

Pei Yi smiled and said, "Unless you spend the rest of your time with me, I promise you to visit him once a year."

Shen Jiahe thought to himself, where can I go without you?

However, he was still a little excited. No matter what, Pei Yi was relieved. Every year he could meet Jia Ze, he was full of joy.
