long friend

Su Yan heard the news that Xiao Qichen had a high fever and was bedridden from Xie Hui.

As soon as he got married, it seemed that he had to be called on for everything big and small in the family.The next day, the newlyweds were going back home, so Su Yan went with her, met his new uncle and uncle, and was dragged and chatted for a long time by Mr. Yushi, almost exhausted.

In the next few days, people came to congratulate him one after another. Su Yan got annoyed, and hid directly in the Xiaoqiguard, only sneaking home every night after dark.He returned late and did not go to the East Wing, but found the small room where he and Su Jin used to live, and slept as soon as the bed was made, causing Li Rong to be puzzled, and asked sincerely if he had offended him.

During the day, Li Rong is busy with military affairs, and Li Rong has a considerate personality, but after the two of them have been together for a long time, she is a bit clingy, always likes to ask Su Yan such and such things at night, and seems to be very curious about him.If things go on like this, Su Yan can be described as physically and mentally exhausted.

When Xie Hui first arrived, he regarded the other party as a savior, and dragged Xie Hui out with a look of benefactor on his face.

Three quarters of an hour later, Su Yan yelled at his benefactor, "What?! Ah Chen is sick?!"

Xie Hui poured himself a cup of tea slowly, and said, "That's right. I heard that I've been bedridden for almost half a month. I just took advantage of my rest today, and begged my grandpa to borrow the ticket to enter and exit Taicheng." Token, sneaked into the Chenglan Hall to see. Your Highness... If I didn't know that he is fine, I would have wondered if his life was not long."

Every time he said a word, Su Yan leaned closer anxiously, and finally said loudly almost close to Xie Hui's ear: "Then what's wrong with him? What's the matter? Did he take medicine? Can he fall asleep at night?"

Xie Hui said with a playful smile, "If you're so worried, why don't you go and see for yourself?"

He seemed to be waiting to say this sentence to ridicule himself, Su Yan dared not speak out, and nailed Xie Hui with his eyes.

Xie Hui had had enough of watching him, and said slowly: "It's not a serious illness, the fever has subsided, but I'm very lethargic and can't get out of bed. Our Highness, to put it nicely, is a sick beauty, suffering from heatstroke in summer and cold in autumn. More than half of this year has passed, and he has been ill for more than 100 days—the girl in green said that His Highness is suffering from a heart attack, so she didn't answer any questions, and kept it in her heart, and now it has accumulated into a serious illness."

"Heart disease?" Su Yan repeated reflexively, and then said depressedly, "What's on his mind? He never mentioned it to me."

After hearing these heartless words, Xie Hui, who had heard the truth from the palace only the day before, was so angry that he almost vomited blood.He drank the hot tea in the cup in one gulp, and said with a half smile: "Go and ask yourself!"

Su Yan looked at him silently, got up and left after a while.

Xie Hui stretched his legs in his original position, and after yawning, he thought amusedly: "These two people are really interesting."

He still remembered how he persuaded Xiao Qichen to think about it a day ago: "You can't force anything, let alone you have too many things on your mind. It's better for you and Su Yan to get rid of this little love for children as soon as possible."

Xie Hui seldom tried to persuade others so earnestly, but Xiao Qichen only said, "Isn't that surprising?"

"People in the world decide Zhang's parents and Li's family's shortcomings must rely on the three characters of 'emotion and reason'. The word love comes first, and the young and the bamboo horses get along day and night. If the two of you don't have any feelings that cross the line, I will suspect that His Highness is really cold-blooded."

"I crossed the line," Xiao Qichen said, "it's none of his business."

But Xie Hui just smiled without saying a word.

A gust of cool wind swept over his neck, and Su Yan got goosebumps on the back of his neck. The feeling of being overwhelmed and speechless was ready again, and made a comeback.

He didn't ride a horse, and walked along the Suzaku Avenue all the way to the Xiye Gate.To say that the sky has eyes, Su Yan walked around the palace gate twice, and happened to meet Grand Tutor Zeng Xu.When he was young, he also studied under the tutor for two years, and his performance was quite satisfactory.After Su Yan explained his purpose to the Taifu, he followed him into Taicheng smoothly.

That is to say, it is an advantage. Who will let the world know that the Guozijian is located inside the palace gate?

Parting ways with Zeng Xu outside the Imperial Prison, Su Yan thanked her again and again, watched the Master slowly enter the palace gate, and then turned and left.He hasn't been to Taicheng for a few days, but the palace inside has been firmly in his mind since he was a child. He seems to have a map in his mind, with twists and turns to reach the destination.

When he saw the blue tiles of Chenglan Palace, Su Yan stood still and began to breathe too fast for no reason.He walked to the door of the hall, knocked lightly on the knocker, and the door opened from the inside after a while.

Seeing the person coming, Lu Yi asked in surprise, "...Little Lord?"

Su Yan forced a smile at her, and said straight to the point: "I heard that His Highness is ill, so I'll come and see him."

The last time he and Xiao Qichen got along alone in private was back in the Grain Rain season.

At that time, the war in the north was tense, and there was peace and tranquility inside and outside Jinling City. The Tai Chi Hall did not hold the "do not win or be benevolent" attitude towards this battle, and Su Yan and Xiao Qichen embraced each other and fell asleep on the night of willow shoots for a month. .

He later recalled countless times that early in the morning, when the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River was not yet at its peak, his friend who had known him for nearly ten years smiled very nicely, leaned forward and kissed him softly.

Su Yan once heard Xie Hui talk about the girls on the Qinhuai River, all of them were beautiful and smiling like flowers.They stick it up softly and bonelessly, and the powder and floral fragrance all over their bodies can smoke the reason of all men.Xie Hui did not shy away from talking about those spring breezes in front of Su Yan and Xiao Qichen, and finally commented: "Compared to dewy love, a kiss is more memorable."

At that time Su Yan blushed, pretending to be calm just like the two "children" Xiao Qichen.And he didn't expect that Xie Hui's words would become a prophecy, even if it was the wedding night in the bridal chamber, he would think of Xiao Qichen's lips sticking to him in bits and pieces.

Because it was still warm when he got up early, the touch was soft and sweet, with the faint scent of osmanthus in his hair.

Su Yan stood still outside the bedroom, and when he heard the green clothes say, "His Highness is resting inside", he seemed to wake up suddenly, and swept out all the charming things in his mind, and then pushed the door open without saying hello.

He thought that Xiao Qichen was really what Xie Hui said, lying on the bed breathlessly, and was fully prepared mentally.And his main body, who had been worried for a long time, was leaning on the couch with one leg bent, concentrating on reading a book.

The flower windows around the dormitory were pasted with window paper. When Su Yan closed the door, there was a gust of air, and a bell hanging at the door made a crisp sound, and Xiao Qichen followed the sound and raised his head.

He was really lacking energy, and the already skinny boy was even smaller. His winter clothes were thick, but they still couldn't hide the almost transparent white skin and protruding collarbone from the neckline.For the convenience of getting up and lying down, Xiao Qichen's long hair was randomly tied behind his head and tied up with a simple hair tie, adding a bit of vulnerability out of thin air.

Seeing Su Yan coming, Xiao Qichen unexpectedly sat up straight, then tightened his collar, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Brother Zhongguang said you were sick." Su Yan naturally sat down on a stool next to the bed, thought for a while, and said, "I sneaked in. I want to see if you are well."

Xiao Qichen said calmly: "It's much better, but there's no wind, and I haven't gone to court for the past few days. But... ahem, it seems that it's not a big deal."

His voice seemed to be hoarse due to the wind and cold, and when he coughed, it seemed as if he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood in the next moment, and he could tell that there was phlegm stasis inside.In addition, Xiao Qichen's small face was pale at this time, the color of his normally rosy lips had faded, his facial features had faded, only the tear mole was still red.

It happened that Lvyi brought in a pot of stewed pears, Su Yan took it, and sat down beside Xiao Qichen's couch.

The distance between the two suddenly drew closer, Xiao Qichen lowered his eyelids, and somehow his face turned red.Su Yan didn't care how ill he was, just scooped up a spoonful and blew it slightly cool, and brought it to Xiao Qichen's mouth: "Drink a little."

Xiao Qichen said with a smile: "You have never been so kind to me before, and now you are here... What's the point?"

Su Yan remained silent, and stubbornly handed the spoon to his lips.

The pear is sweet and moistens the lungs, Xiao Qichen didn't insist anymore, and just drank it from Su Yan's hand, feeling that this posture was really inappropriate, so he simply took the small cup by himself.The green clothes are considerate, and it has been put at a temperature that can be directly eaten outside. Xiao Qichen felt that it was okay after drinking it, so he simply finished drinking it directly from the mouth of the porcelain cup.

It was probably a psychological effect, he suddenly felt as if the pain in his throat that lasted for several days had been relieved a lot.Xiao Qichen regained his energy, closed the book, put it in front of Su Yan, and asked curiously, "How are you and Young Madam?"

Putting the usual question at this moment, Su Yan naturally thought wrongly.He dodged his eyes, if there was any entity, he might be able to sweep the floor of Chenglan Hall, but he didn't look at Xiao Qichen, and couldn't bear the other party's repeated questioning, finally he made a vague "um" after asking the fourth time, nodded.

Xiao Qichen also nodded slightly, and didn't seem to want to continue this topic very much, so he said instead: "Then you haven't been to the school grounds recently?"

"Go," Su Yan took the porcelain cup he had finished drinking and put it aside, "There are too many things at home. My father threw the tiger amulet into the Nanyuan camp and went to cultivate his health and rest. The rest is up to you." If General Shen Canjun was not sure, he asked them to discuss with me. It's just that I don't have enough qualifications to enter the court, so I don't know much about what His Majesty is thinking recently."

"I didn't think about anything. The famine relief in the north went well. The Turks were looking for trouble every day, but I heard that a young general was recently discovered in Yanmenguan. The war seemed desperate. The Turks were suppressed by him, so let's live in peace for now. Jiangnan is safe. A few days ago, two corrupt officials who took bribes were arrested in Lin'an and exiled to Wucheng County. Nanzhao has been quite uneasy recently, but because the trade hub with our country is caught in the palm of the Bashu County Governor, he dare not act rashly..." Xiao Qichen is like a treasure. Yes, in a few words, I will tell you about the recent events.

Hearing that he only said a few words, Su Yan wandered into the sky, his rationality drifted here and there, and finally landed on the moist blush at the end of Xiao Qichen's eyes.

He raised his hand and touched it lightly, and Xiao Qichen's conversation stopped as if a switch had been pressed.

Just when Su Yan thought he was going to be embarrassed again, Xiao Qichen, who was touched by him inexplicably, touched the place, as if nothing happened, and said: "There is one more thing, it really makes me... dumbfounded."

Su Yan asked obediently: "What's the matter? I heard that King Zhao is going back to his fiefdom. You are the only prince who can reign in Jinling City in a short time. Is there anything else to worry about?"

Xiao Qichen raised one corner of his lips strangely when he heard the words, and said with a strange yin and yang air: "Don't you know? The queen is happy, and the imperial doctor said that he is a little prince from the pulse condition. Yesterday, a little girl in Chenglan Palace listened to me when she went out to grab medicine. The palace people in Xiu Palace commented that the empress did a good job of hiding it this time, and Concubine Li Gui just found out that she was so angry that she dropped three porcelain vases in her own palace."

The queen is almost forty now, and although she is no longer young, it is not impossible to get pregnant.

Before Su Yan expressed his opinion, the smile on Xiao Qichen's lips became colder and he said: "So I will have a younger brother soon. It's always my father's heart disease that I can't be a concubine, so how could he fulfill my wish! "

When today's son succeeded to the throne, he was still young, and now he is only in his early fifties. His body has always been strong, and he claims that he is still in his prime. If he devotes himself to nurturing the youngest son, in another 20 years, how can he pass on the throne without his legitimate son?After going through this relationship in Su Yan's mind, his heart sank, and he said to Xiao Qichen: "Then are you going to kill him?"

He is very measured on weekdays, but the words he occasionally speaks seem to have been soaked in the iron blood of the battlefield.

"Do I look like someone who does this kind of thing?" Xiao Qichen said indifferently, "I hate it very much, but I don't dare to act rashly. At this time, I probably think the same as Brother Huang—although he is a prominent My uncle's family has always been a bastard like me."

Except for special circumstances, the throne of the Xiao family is not passed on to the eldest son, nor to the son but not to the younger brother.Xiao Qiyu was so anxious before because he was afraid that the most incredible situation would happen, but now that he knows it, he might be so angry.

Xiao Qichen, however, was very calm. Seeing that the incense on the desk had burned out, he reached out his hand to shake the ashes, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed lightly, his movements were smooth and flowing.

"I thought Brother Ping was disabled, and Brother Huang was placed in the fief. After a long time in Jinling City, he would naturally turn to me. I never thought that the Queen would be pregnant. I am afraid that she will not want to be my adoptive mother in the future. When I was born, I was the one who had a mother but no one wanted again... It was superfluous."

He is the prince in this city who everyone calls "Your Highness" when they see him. He has no worries about food and clothing, but in the whole world, no one knows the warmth and coldness of human relationships better than Xiao Qichen.

"Being beaten and cold, at that time I advised myself to bear it. Maybe one day my father would feel compassion and look at me a few more times. Now that he has finished these few glances, he would not even want to do it in court. Mention my name. In his heart, no matter how appropriate and obedient he is in handling affairs, he can't compare to being a "born son". " Xiao Qichen said very flatly, "I had expected him to have true feelings for my mother. Listen to him When talking about those hidden guard secrets, I thought he finally recognized me...he really is a ruthless emperor."

Su Yan recalled what Xie Hui said, "Heart disease has accumulated into a serious illness." He thought it was because of himself, but unexpectedly it turned out to be this matter, Xiao Qichen was hard to tell anyone, no wonder he was depressed all the time.

If Xiao Qichen was the same as before, and acted coquettishly when encountering this, and even shed a few tears in a pretentious manner, Su Yan would be able to embrace him logically and coax him well.But he was so calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs, but Su Yan had no reason to speak anymore, so he had to pour out the incense ash for him.

The aftertaste of the incense could not go away, Xiao Qichen suddenly said: "Ayan, why did I do all this?"

He sounded lost, like a traveler lost in the mountains.Seeing Xiao Qichen lowering his hands, Su Yan couldn't help pulling him over, covering those cold hands in his palms: "The road ahead is uncertain."

Xiao Qichen seemed to be hit by his four words suddenly, and his whole body collapsed instantly.His shoulders trembled slightly, but he didn't cry.

Even though he shed tears as if he didn't want money, and deceived a large group of people, but when he was really sad, he kept it in his heart, allowing them to gather into lakes and rivers, and he didn't use them to win sympathy.

"Since you said that..." When Xiao Qichen raised his head again, he had put on that dignified and self-restrained disguise again, and joked, "What if it's a princess."

Su Yan cooperated with him lightly, bent his eyes, and pinched Xiao Qichen's nose.

He used to do this movement, but this time it felt different, it was too ambiguous no matter what.Su Yan was burned by this thought, and withdrew his hand, but still said softly: "I said that year, if you end up as a rich and idle king, I will also go to your fief and become your servant."

"Don't want your title and military power?"

Su Yan didn't hesitate for a moment: "No more."

Xiao Qichen asked again: "Then... don't you want your wife?"

Su Yan was at a loss for words, before he could answer, Xiao Qichen suddenly smiled, pinched him on the face, and said casually: "I'm just joking, why are you serious?"

The flesh that was pulled by him was a little painful, and more it felt itchy. Su Yan clutched that place, feeling a little guilty for some inexplicable reason.

When Su Yan left Taicheng that day, he vaguely realized that Xiao Qichen had something to hide from him.He refused to say, Su Yan was not easy to ask, so he could only play side-by-side with him, staggering these sensitive topics in a rigid manner.

His back disappeared outside the Xiye Gate, Xiao Qichen turned around and walked back, the green clothes beside him said worriedly: "Is Your Highness really planning to keep silent? Seeing the young master feels uncomfortable, and I miss him again, what should I do?"

Xiao Qichen paused and said, "He's married."

People always say that feelings come first and then come first. According to this theory, he is several years earlier than Li Rong, but Su Yan's family expects too much from him, and he is an only seedling. How could he let him hang out with him for a lifetime without getting married? ?

"...Besides, I understand that it's not the right time."

Not sooner or later, after he got engaged, it would be futile to say anything.

The Changgeng star hangs high in the west sky, so bright that it can compete with Chanjuan in brilliance, but everyone knows it is an illusion.
