Patrol's sweetheart baby

Chapter 78 Punishing the Heart

Human intuition is really a very magical existence sometimes.

For example, Tang Xiaotang had never met Ji Yunqing before, but at the moment when his eyes met, he guessed the identity of the other party by virtue of an instinct.

Tang Xiaotang subconsciously turned her head to look at the person beside her.

Xie Jinbai's expression was calm, the expression on his face was the same as usual, of course, he didn't see any surprise.

So, did the two meet each other before?

Or brother Xiaoyu knew in advance that the little emperor was upstairs?

After thinking about it again, this person has always been like this, and his thoughts have always been hidden deeply.

The expression on the man's face was inaccurate.

Maybe brother Xiaoyu, like him, didn't know that the little emperor was upstairs, and the two of them had never met each other before, so he was even more surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it?

Thinking about it this way, Tang Xiaotang felt much more at ease.

Tang Xiaotang has always acted recklessly.

Back then when he got the jade pendant from a personal entourage who claimed to be Xie Jinbai, a message from the other party made him mistakenly think that Xie Jinbai was interested in him, but he was just testing his mind, so he boldly proposed to Xie Jinbai in Zhaohui Tower.

Mr. Tang's heart doesn't need to be tested, he is just that firm.

Are you rushing to do this?

Nature is reckless.

But he went all out.

Just to bet on that tiny possibility.

A 16-year-old boy is not afraid of the sky and the earth.

He has nothing to lose, so he is not afraid of losing.

If he got it wrong, he would be rejected.

But if it happens, you will get a daughter-in-law for nothing.

Is the price of recklessness high?

Nature is big.

Tang Xiaotang didn't expect to be punished at the time.

Every blow hit the flesh, hurt the muscles and bones, and the pain was excruciating.

For a long time afterwards, whenever it was windy or rainy, the pain was so painful that he would turn pale and roll back and forth on the bed several times covered in cold sweat.

Even now, the leg is not quite as good as it gets.

If time could be restarted, Tang Xiaotang would still be so reckless, and would rather suffer that punishment.

He thinks it's worth it for Brother Xiaoyu to trade those hardships.

Too valuable.

He waited so much, endured so much hardship, and even lost his legs, before he finally held the hand of the person beside him, and he was reluctant to let go.

Of course, he didn't intend to let go.

His hand was still holding Brother Xiaoyu's wrist.

As long as the person standing on the second floor is not the emperor, Tang Xiaotang will definitely be able to hold Xie Jinbai's hand, and the two of them will walk up to Ji Yunqing's head hand in hand.

Let's see who's overwhelmed.

However, the person in front of him is an emperor, an emperor above thousands of people.

Tang Xiaotang didn't know what gesture he should take was right.

Originally, he was on the stairs, and the little emperor was at the head of the stairs. His eyes were so downcast, it was the real condescension of the monarch of a country.

Tang Xiaotang tightened almost subconsciously, the hand that held Xie Jinbai's wrist.

Feeling uncomfortable is natural.

If you are uncomfortable, be uncomfortable.

After all, he is the one holding Brother Xiaoyu's wrist now, if he is not strong enough, maybe the little emperor is even worse than him in his heart.

Ordinarily, as a humble man, he should be nervous when he suddenly saw the emperor.

He should be respectful and respectful.

For some reason, he wasn't too nervous.

According to the rules, does he have to kowtow and bow down immediately?

But they have already climbed several steps, so it is not appropriate to just kneel down like this?

A 17-year-old boy thinks more than a 16-year-old boy.

You can't be rash anymore, at least you can't implicate the person next to you.

Xie Jinbai moved his hand.

Tang Xiaotang thought that Xie Jinbai was going to let go of his hand.

He can understand.

Leaving aside the identity of the little emperor as an old love, in front of the emperor, the two of them are so entangled, it is indeed not very solemn.

What Tang Xiaotang didn't expect was that Xie Jinbai grabbed his wrist with his backhand.

Just like this, holding his wrist through the sleeves, step by step, up the stairs.

Xie Jinbai didn't let go of Tang Xiaotang's hand until he reached the corridor on the second floor.

Kneeling down, bowing to the emperor and his ministers, "I thank you, Huaiyu, and see the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

Tang Xiaotang imitated the example, "Tang Weimian, a grassroots man, see the emperor. Long live the emperor, long live the emperor."

But it was rare not to stutter.

Good luck, young master Tang.

Well, I suddenly wanted Brother Xiaoyu to praise him so much.

Thinking of Yu Zhuo and Xiao Zishu kneeling at the stairs on the first floor, greeting the emperor.

Ji Yunqing's clenched fist hidden in his sleeve never let go.

He looked at Xie Jinbai and the strange boy who were both kneeling on the ground, greeting him, and for some reason, a sense of absurdity arose in his heart that these two were getting married and he was a witness.

Hey.

For the first time in his life, Ji Yunqing tasted jealousy.

He is king.

Even though it was very difficult for him in the harem because of his mother and concubine's background, he never envied his brothers.

Because he is the prince.

He knew that no matter how those people in the palace looked down on him and bullied him, the world would be his sooner or later.

In the future, he will repay it even more.

For the first time in his life, Ji Yunqing felt jealous towards a young man.

The scene where Xie Jinbai and Tang Xiaotang clasped their fingers just now made Ji Yunqing's eyes burn.

After all, Ji Yunqing is an emperor.

No matter how thoughts are surging in his heart, the face is always noble and alienated from the king.

He said in a clear and steady voice, "Stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Tang Xiaotang and Xie Jinbai got up from the ground together.

When he got up, Tang Xiaotang was a little dizzy for some reason.

In fact, when he got off the carriage earlier, he also felt dizzy for a moment.

But he didn't pay attention at the time.

Probably because I was worried all night, I didn't close my eyes much, and I didn't sleep enough.

Tang Xiaotang didn't care too much.

Downstairs and on the ground, Yu Zhuo and Xiao Zishu got up one after another.

Ping An went out of the room with Ji Yunqing.

He drooped his brows and eyes, but his heart was filled with worry.

The fourth son is too ruthless.

In front of Long Live God, being so close to that boy.

Tang Xiaotang was not the only one who was looking forward to Xie Jinbai's safe return.

Now that the man has finally returned, he is standing within his reach, but it seems that thousands of mountains are separated.

Ji Yunqing asked the most concerned question of a king, "I am very relieved to see Lord Xie return safely. How is it? Can you successfully wipe out those bandits and rebels?"

Xie Jinbai cupped her hands, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life."

In the past and present, in order to be able to kill Yan Hu with his hands, he did not know how many times he has studied the geomancy map of Fufeng County.

The mountains and rivers in Fufeng County, he only needs to close his eyes, and they can clearly appear in his mind.

Yan Hu led the remaining bandits to drive the boat into the reed marshes outside Fufeng City, using the reeds as a natural cover.

Xie Jinbai ordered the archers to shoot arrows to create the illusion of pursuit, and at the same time sent people with good water skills to lurk into the water and pierce Yan Hu and others' boats.

The river water in late autumn is bitingly cold.

After falling into the water, many people voluntarily surrendered in order to be able to go ashore.

Originally, it was not easy to find Yan Hu's ship among so many ships.

Shi Zhigao, the second head of Yan Huzhai, took the initiative to find Xie Jinbai.

With blood on his face, he was holding something in his hand, and asked if the imperial court's offer of security was still counted.

Xie Jinbai can't decide this matter, and bluntly said that he needs to report to the Ming court.

Shi Zhigao simply said that he was already tired of this kind of life of beatings and killings, and if the trick was worth it, he would be willing to seek a half-time job in the imperial court.

Xie Jinbai nodded, expressing that he would play it truthfully.

Shi Zhigao raised his hand, and something was thrown to Xie Jinbai's feet, "Surrender ceremony."

Xie Jinbai opened it, and it was a bloody head.

It belongs to Yan Hu.

Shi Zhigao surrendered, and told Xie Jinbai all the news that several bandit leaders were killed by Yan Hu in advance and their bodies were thrown in the river.

Xie Jinbai quickly spread the news that the big masters were dead.

The bandits were in a mess.

Therefore, Xie Jinbai took down those bandits, although it could not be called easy, compared to his previous life, it was several times lighter.

Yan Hu's body was separated.

In the future, he will no longer be able to flee on the border of Ruan Ling, and his elder brother will no longer be killed by Yan Hu's hidden weapon.

Xie Jinbai's goal of coming to Fufeng County has been achieved.

"Good! Very good! I knew Lord Xie would never disappoint me!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Ji Yunqing's lips, the smile carried the vigor of a young emperor, and his already gorgeous appearance became even more captivating because of this smile.

Ji Yunqing's words also have something to say.

From the corner of the eye, I saw the young man's slightly pursed lips, the smile on Ji Yunqing's lips widened, and a coldness flashed in his eyes.

Can't take it anymore?

Where is this?

"I still have important matters to discuss with Mr. Xie, and you will step down first."

He didn't even have to open his mouth to specifically order Tang Xiaotang to back down.

This is the benefit of an emperor.

Anyone he doesn't want to see, as long as he opens his mouth, he can easily make the other party disappear from his eyes.

Tang Xiaotang knew in his heart that the emperor did it on purpose.

In front of him, he deliberately showed his imperial power.

He didn't want brother Xiaoyu to be alone with the emperor at all.

The emperor opened his mouth, and spoke well, how could he allow him to agree or refuse?

He knelt down on both knees and kowtowed, "The grass people leave."

Downstairs, Yu Zhuo and Xiao Zishu also said in a low voice, "The minister (slave) will leave."

Tang Xiaotang stood up slowly.

Tang Xiaotang deliberately slowed down because he was afraid that he would get dizzy or something.

As a result, when he got up, his body still swayed.

Xie Jinbai was standing on the side, he supported the person in time, looked down at the person in his arms, "Leg hurts?"

The little emperor is still here!

Tang Xiaotang didn't want to appear too weak in front of the little emperor, so he barely stood up straight, "No, no. The legs, the legs don't hurt. Maybe it's because I didn't sleep well all night..."

Xie Jin never let go of his white hands around his waist.

He raised his other hand and touched the little boy's forehead, "You have a fever."

Xie Jinbai's palm was very cold.

Tang Xiaotang was frozen coldly by him.

He was just about to protest, when he heard that he had a fever, he opened his mouth and let out an "ah" with a dazed expression, "Me, me?"

fever?

he?

Tang Xiaotang is a person who rarely suffers from headaches.

When I first heard that I had a fever, I still didn't react.

Xie Jin pointed and patted his forehead, "Why don't you know you have a fever?"

The force with which he flicked his fingers was very light, and it didn't hurt, but the fingertips were really too cold.

No wonder Brother Xiaoyu just held his wrist through his sleeve.

So, it wasn't because he was afraid of the emperor's presence, but because he was afraid of chilling him?

If it wasn't for the wrong occasion, Tang Xiaotang would definitely cover this person's hands as usual, and after Brother Xiaoyu's hands warmed up a bit, he would put his face on it, acting coquettish or something.

In a low voice, "I don't even remember when I had a fever last time."

It's very quiet, and the sound is a little soft.

Xie Jinbai had to lower his head to hear clearly.

In the eyes of Ji Yunqing and Tong Pingan upstairs, what's the difference between the two of them looking at each other?

Ji Yunqing's eyes turned red bit by bit.

He remembered that when he was sick in the past, brother Huaiyu was also like this, treating him tenderly.

But right now, in front of him, he gave all his tenderness to another person!

Ji Yunqing's eyes were cold.

Rather, he underestimated the rank of this young master Tang.

"Gong Ming."

Downstairs, Xiao Zishu walked upstairs, "Master."

"Tang'er has a fever. You accompany him back to his room to rest first."

Since Ji Yunqing opened his mouth and wanted Xie Jinbai to stay, Xie Jinbai had no choice but to propose to leave first.

He is a minister.

Can't resist disrespect.

"Yes."

"Can you go by yourself?"

"can."

Tang Xiaotang nodded.

It's really possible, just now when I got up I was a little dizzy, so I won't be able to walk.

Even up to now, he doesn't feel that he has a fever. Except that he has no strength, he really doesn't feel that he is uncomfortable.

Xie Jinbai raised his hand and rubbed his head.

Tang Xiaotang sniffed.

I don't know why, but I want to cry.

The little boy's eyes were red.

Xie Jinbai's heart ached, he kissed Tang Xiaotang's eyes, "Be good. I'll go over to accompany you later."

The voice was unbelievably gentle.

Tang Xiaotang wanted to cry even more.

He felt that he and Xie Jinbai were a pair of fateful mandarin ducks who were forcibly separated by bullies in the storybook.

Tang Xiaotang didn't cry after all.

In front of outsiders, the young master never shed tears.

Tang Xiaotang went downstairs accompanied by Xiao Zishu.

Xie Jinbai kept watching Tang Xiaotang's figure disappear around the corner of the stairs.

Xie Jinbai stared at Tang Xiaotang's back for a long time, and Ji Yunqing stared at Xie Jinbai for a long time.

Ji Yunqing has been waiting, waiting for the people beside him to look back at him.

But no.

Even when the figure of Young Master Tang disappeared around the corner of the stairs, this person never turned his head to look at him.

"Brother Huaiyu is trying to anger me on purpose? Because I want to get married, so brother Huaiyu used this method to take revenge on me?"

It's no longer the aloof emperor just now.

Ji Yunqing's voice was low, even a little hoarse. He lowered his head slightly, as if he was about to shed tears at any time.

"No."

Those two simple words were like a sharp awl, suddenly poking a bloody hole in his chest.

"You, are you serious?"

"Ah."

Ji Yunqing took a deep breath, his eyes fixed on Xie Jinbai, his eyes were red, "I canceled the marriage."

He said word by word, "Yes, for, yes, you."

Xie Jin's eyes were slightly surprised.

In the previous life, the emperor did not cancel the marriage contract, and the marriage ceremony between him and the pro-daughter of General Gu's family was grandly held in Yongxu Palace on the Lantern Festival of the following year.

After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, there is no need to be like this."

"You don't have to be like this...you don't have to be like this...that day, your attitude was so decisive. If I don't cancel the marriage, do you really plan to be a magistrate for the rest of your life, never return to Yingyang, and never see me?!"

"Your Majesty misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding? If it's not to avoid me, then tell me, why did you take the initiative to play when Mr. Jiang, Minister of the Household Department, and Mr. Yuan, the Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, recommended you to be promoted to the Ministry of Officials? Transferred to Fufeng County, which is full of bandits, to be a small local county magistrate?"

This is indeed a misunderstanding.

The reason why Xie Jinbai took the initiative to transfer to Fufeng County was to get rid of Yan Hu.

However, for this reason, he could not tell the emperor.

"You clearly still have me in your heart!"

This is a big misunderstanding.

Xie Jinbai cupped his hands and said, "The reason why I took the initiative to ask Zuo to be transferred to Fufeng County is indeed selfish."

Ji Yunqing already had a premonition that he might not want to hear the next reason, so when Xie Jinbai had just started, he interrupted him decisively, "I'm tired, Mr. Xie, please step back."

"Sir, obey the order."

"return!"

Before Xie Jinbai stepped down the stairs with one foot, Ji Yunqing said again, "I'm not feeling well, please stay with me."

It suddenly occurred to Ji Yunqing that if Xie Jinbai were to step down now, there was a high probability that this person would go to find the young master, so he kept him again.

Xie Jinbai did not resist the order, and still had the same respectful expression, "I obey the order."

Ji Yunqing succeeded in keeping him, but he was not happy at all in his heart.

It shouldn't be like this!

In this world, anyone who sees him should be respectful, only Xie Huaiyu, the fourth son of the Taifu's family, who has been a teacher and friend since childhood, should not be so respectful when meeting him !

Ji Yunqing went back to Xie Jinbai's room.

Ping An obediently did not follow in, but closed the door softly for the two of them.

Ji Yunqing went to the bed and sat down, "Brother Huaiyu hasn't slept all night, so he must be tired now? I heard that this room is your bedroom, and I happen to be tired too, why don't we come together?"

Ji Yunqing unbuttoned the jasper rhinoceros buckle at his waist, took off the black gold tufted flower robe, turned his head, looked at Xie Jinbai who was standing there, motionless, "What's wrong? We used to be in the palace, it's not like we didn't fall together while sleeping."

"I was young then."

Ji Yunqing nodded in agreement, "I was very young at that time. I was 13 years old, how old was Brother Huaiyu, sixteen or seventeen? It seems to be the same age as that young master Tang?"

He seemed to be chatting authentically, "I didn't understand anything at that time... I don't understand why every time I wake up, I can always see Brother Huaiyu staring at me for a moment."

Xie Jinbai was silent.

He didn't really have any impression of what Ji Yunqing said.

Strange to say.

In his previous life, no matter how unhappy he was with Xiao Jiu, as long as he saw Xiao Jiu, he could always easily think of the time when they were childhood sweethearts and supported each other.

Now, seeing Xiao Jiu again, and hearing Xiao Jiu talk about the past, only blurred images flashed in his mind.

I really don't remember clearly.

But, approximately, it really happened.

However, it should not be when he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and the time should be later.

It should be around twenty.

He began to realize that he was fascinated by Xiao Jiu, who was also a man and also a prince.

Even if he is as calm as he is, it is impossible not to be flustered, and he was even in the midst of self-doubt.

What Xiao Jiu said, staring at him, should be the most struggling and hesitant moment at that time.

"Brother Huaiyu, do you still remember that you provoked me first? It was you who took one step at a time, using tenderness as a cocoon, to bind me by your side."

Ji Yunqing only wore a white inner shirt, and walked towards Xie Jinbai step by step, with a smile on his face, "Brother Huaiyu wants to get away now, isn't it, it's too late?"

"Well. Everything in the past was my fault. The lives of Xie's family, and even the lives of humble ministers, have already been paid to the Holy One. If the Holy One thinks it is not enough, you might as well make another imperial decree."

Ji Yunqing's smile froze, "You, what did you say?"

Xie Jinbai knows how to punish her.

He clearly knew that Ji Yunqing in this life didn't know anything and hadn't done anything, yet he laid the ending of the previous life in front of his eyes, and in this way, forced Ji Yunqing to let him go.

"About half a year ago, Wei Chen started to have some bizarre dreams on and off..."



Tang Xiaotang didn't feel that she had a fever when she came down from upstairs until she returned to her room accompanied by Xiao Zishu.

His consciousness was clear, and he didn't have any uncomfortable symptoms such as coughing or dizziness.

However, when Xiao Zishu asked whether he should invite a doctor to show him, Tang Xiaotang still agreed.

He was afraid that if he really had a fever, he would refuse to call a doctor again, and when brother Xiaoyu found out, it would be time to blame him again.

a bit sleepy.

Tang Xiaotang simply took off his boots and got on the bed.

When you are alone, it is easiest to think wildly.

The little emperor only kept brother Xiaoyu, and he didn't know what the two of them were doing...

Tang Xiaotang immediately stopped thinking of this kind of thought, and refused to continue thinking about it.

He raised his hand and couldn't help touching it with his fingertips. The eyelid of his left eye, which had been kissed before, seemed to still have the warmth of brother Xiaoyu's lips on it.

Because brother Xiaoyu's body temperature has been low all year round, and he just came back from outside, even his lips were slightly cold, but it ironed his heart.

Tang Xiaotang really didn't expect it.

Unexpectedly, in front of the little emperor, Xie Jinbai would do that for him.

It not only stabilized his heart, but also silently swore and affirmed his identity.

Fortunately, he struck early...

Otherwise, the sad and frustrated person today would be replaced by him.

Tang Xiaotang frowned, revealing a silly smile.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

"coming!"

Tang Xiaotang lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

When getting out of bed, Tang Xiaotang felt dizzy again. .

He touched his forehead, and it was really hot.

Did he really have a fever?

Fortunately, I didn't try to be brave just now.

Tang Xiaotang opened the door, and the person standing outside was not Xiao Zishu.

Tang Xiaotang was a little confused, and looked at Yu Zhuo who was standing outside his door warily, "Hi, may I ask, what's the matter?"

Outside the door, Yu Zhuo said hesitantly, "Excuse me for being abrupt. Did we really meet this little Mr. Tang somewhere? To be honest, when I saw you, I thought you were very familiar..."

isn't it?

Again?

"I said this brother..."

Before Tang Xiaotang finished speaking, his eyes suddenly went dark.

The whole person planted straight forward.

Yu Zhuo subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch him.
