My lord, your plan is too obvious

Before Si Nian went out, although Ruohua said it lightly, he couldn't sleep at all in the first half of the night.My mind was in a mess, and many things went through my mind one by one.

He thought of the days when he led troops to fight in his previous life, the blood-stained military flag and the bottomless cliff.The sounds of mourning behind him were endless, and in a blink of an eye they went back to the top, and the faces of those eunuchs and courtiers who were stalking were all in front of them.He walked in the dark for a long time, but could not see the end.Very heavy and tired.

The surroundings gradually brightened up in a trance, Ruohua opened his eyes, and what was in his eyes was both familiar and strange.It seemed to be the Dragon Dragon of his previous life, as if there were palace people running back and forth.

Could everything in Chuping be a dream?In fact, Xia Yuan is still there, and he is still the emperor, and the world is still his own.What about that year?Is it just a man of Huang Liang's dream?

Ruohua gradually heard voices coming from her ear, at first the voice was very small, it just felt like urging again and again.Then the voice became clear, Ruohua heard someone calling him:

"emperor."

Ruohua was awakened suddenly.

Si Nian felt the person in his arms move suddenly, his body was still trembling, and he stroked Shun Ruohua's back as if to comfort him:

"What's wrong."

Ruohua heard a familiar voice from above her head, tears overflowed her eyes unconsciously, and shouted in a hoarse voice:

"Si Nian..."

Si Nian was a little surprised to hear Ruohua call him that. In the past, unless he deliberately teased him when he was in love, Ruohua would hardly call him by his name alone.

Si Nian hugged Ruohua in his arms, patted him on the back like coaxing a child, put his chin on the top of his head, and said softly:

"I am back."

Ruohua gradually came to her senses, and found that it was Si Nian who was by her side before she felt relieved.But that clear "Emperor" really made Ruohua feel very strange, even a little scared.

Obviously, he wanted to take back the world before, but even if it reappeared in his dream, he would be very resistant.As if surrounded by endless darkness, I just feel shuddering.

Did I feel afraid of that big person...

Or, from the very beginning, he shouldn't have sat in that position...

"Did I become a fool..." Ruohua whispered.

Si Nian froze for a moment, then hugged Ruohua even tighter:

"In this world, you have protected me very well."

Ruohua didn't speak, but leaned closer.

Si Nian lowered his head, kissed Ruohua's forehead, and said softly:

"Even if I give up this world, I will protect you."

After that, the two didn't say anything, just hugged each other quietly.At some point, both of them fell asleep.

This time, Ruohua dreamed of that cliff again, but there was no cry and blood, only stars and stars.He stood on the edge of the cliff and fell down into the Milky Way. It seemed that he had fallen for a long time, but he could not see the bottom.

Until a voice came from the abyss, that voice called softly:

"bring it on."

As he continued to fall, suddenly there was light around him. There were no cliffs, abyss, or mountains and rivers, and the vast expanse of whiteness seemed to fill the world with snow.

Ruohua closed her eyes, feeling that she was wrapped in something, warm and familiar.

When he opened his eyes, he saw that familiar face, and the mountains and rivers disappeared, only this person met in the world.

After waking up from the dream, Si Nianxu was really tired and hadn't woken up yet.

Ruohua moved his body a little, and the sleeping Si Nian subconsciously hugged him tighter, and patted Ruohua's back comfortingly.

Ruohua's face flushed slightly, why does this man always treat himself like a child.

So he reached out and poked Si Nian's face. Si Nian felt his face itchy, so he hid his face under the quilt.Ruohua laughed lightly, he never thought that Da Si Nian would do such a thing when he was fast asleep.

So he reached into the quilt even more brazenly and poked Si Nian.

Just as he was poking happily, his fingers were caught off guard, and then something wet and hot rubbed against him.

Ruohua subconsciously wanted to pull his hand back, but was pulled into the quilt even more forcefully.Then I felt a weight on my body, and even the sound of breathing was very clear in the darkness.

Then Ruohua felt Si Nian's lips pressing on his forehead, then the corners of his eyes, and across the tip of his nose, with a slight itch.Then gently covered his lips.

"Are you awake?" Si Nian's deep but smiling voice was exceptionally clear.

Ruohua opened his mouth, bit Si Nian's lips, and said:

"Where's my fried cake?"

Si Nian laughed out loud, then put his arms around Ruohua: "Why do you care about fried cakes?"

"Fried cakes are better than you." Ruohua muttered.

"En? Is that so?" Si Nian kissed Ruohua's lips as if to prove it. Using his tongue to push open the teeth, he swept the soft inner wall straight and long, and even pushed the red tongue that kept dodging Take it out and tangle with yourself.

Ruohua was slightly panted by the kiss, her chest heaved and she got closer to Sinian.

Si Nian was in the posture of the two of them, propping up his body slightly with one hand, and caressing the young man's body with the other hand.

Ruohua didn't resist either, he just wanted to be entangled with this person in front of him, no longer have those fears and losses, no longer feel lonely and uneasy.He wanted to put all of himself in this man's trust.

So Ruohua also hugged Si Nian's neck, suppressed low sobs came out intermittently, and the feelings and desires that were provoked and teased were also honestly displayed.

He hooked his legs and rubbed against Si Nian's waist, and the two of them overlapped tightly, as if there was nothing else in the world.

--------

It was evening when the two woke up again.

Relieved, Ruohua felt annoyed for his prostitution in the daytime.Especially thinking that in the end, I actually cooperated so actively, it was simply...

Ruohua buried her face in the quilt a little bit, as if she wanted to escape from the past.

Si Nian fished him out and kissed Ruohua's forehead:

"Do you still want to eat fried cakes?"

So Ruohua was even more ashamed and annoyed...

Si Nian laughed, pressed the man into his arms, and said:

"I told Brother Huang that in a few days, we will leave the capital, let's meet rivals."

"You haven't been to the southwest, have you? In January, we can go to Ehe in the west first. The large grasslands there are at their most lush. The herds of cattle and sheep are also beautiful. When the weather turns cold, we will go Go southwest, and when you get to Qizhi, where the seasons are like spring, the mountains and seas are shining, if you want to go back to Xiangfu for the new year, you can go back to Tingzhou, but I'm afraid I can't be with you."

Ruohua seldom heard Si Nian talk so much in detail, and did not interrupt, so he just listened quietly.Ehe and Qizhi are the border areas of Chuping.Si Nian should have asked himself to leave the capital to guard the border. Although they are places where there are few wars, they are not considered a wealthy place, and there are few merchants and officials, so they are completely far away from the government.

While talking, Si Nian talked about the matter between him and the emperor.

"I don't blame him either, I just feel chilled."

Ruohua didn't expect that Si Nian still had such a thing.Moreover, the imperial edict of the former emperor was never opened by this person for the sake of the stability of the court.

If it were him, he would definitely not be reconciled.Ke Si Nian let go of them one by one, protecting the land with his own strength.

Si Nian talked a lot, and in the end even he felt that he seemed to have said all the things he hadn't said all these years at once.The feeling of forbearance in my heart for many years also slowly dissipated.

Finally, he asked Ruohua's lips, and said:

"Fortunately, you are here at last."

Ruohua hugged Sinian, hummed softly, and said silently in his heart:

"Fortunately, I can meet you."

--------

Two days later, when the two went to court, they received the dispatch order together.

Si Nian was appointed General Cheng He, and went to Qi Zhi to pass the border, while Ruo Hua was appointed as a military adviser to follow Si Nian.

There was an uproar in the court, no one thought that a prince would be sent to guard the border, and a minister was sent as a military adviser.However, the emperor's order had already been issued, and the two ordered did not seem to have any objections.

King Mao looked sideways at Sinian with some surprise, but he looked away without seeing anything.

After coming down to court, Sinian and Ruohua returned to the Ministry of Rites, sorted out the documents, and Qi Guang sent someone to send a note, asking them to talk outside the palace.

After the two of them left the palace gate, they boarded the carriage and came to the Lin Mansion where they had been several times before.

The three sat in front of the porch in the backyard, Qi Guang leaned against the class and said:

"Uncle, have you really made up your mind this time?"

"Well," Si Nian sat casually, "this place is not suitable for me."

"After my uncle leaves, I'm afraid there will be more things to do."

"With the Ming and Beitang families, even if the military power is not in your hands, it shouldn't matter."

"I'm just envious that my uncle got out of this quagmire early." Qi Guang smiled slightly.

"I won't be in that position after all." Si Nian knew that Qi Guang was different from him. Even if Qi Guang didn't want to be emperor, he still had to bear some responsibilities.

"That's why I said I envy my uncle." Qi Guang turned his head to look at Ruohua, "Ruohua is so smart, if she stays in the court, she will definitely be a Yuchun boudoir."

Si Nian told Ruohu earlier that Qi Guang knew about their relationship, so Ruohua didn't hide too much and said:

"It's because the prince is too fond of you. The scenery of the frontier is more attractive to me than this palace wall."

"The frontier fortress is not as good as this capital city, and every day will be ordinary, so you don't think so." Qi Guang joked, "At that time, you should blame my uncle for abducting you to that place."

"How dare I treat his mouth badly." Sinian took Ruohua's hand, stroked it and said with a smile.

Ruohua blushed slightly, then muttered, "I'm not that greedy either."

"Have all my uncle's subordinates been dispatched?" Qi Guang asked, picking up his cup.

"Except for the twelve who are close to me, most of them have been dispatched." Si Nian knew that Qi Guang called them here because he wanted to ask this question, "I gave him all the things I found over the years. Those who worked for me If people continue to stay with me, they will not end well if they are found out by him."

"Uncle put it clean." Qi Guang thought that Si Nian would leave at least one or two eyeliners here and there for later use, but unexpectedly they all scattered.

"Since you have decided to leave, it's best to put an end to these matters. I will still guard the land of Chuping, but if you encounter trouble in the future, I may not be able to help you too much."

"Since my uncle has let go, I will naturally not let you get involved." Qi Guang knew that Si Nian really decided to leave this time, and now that he has the help of the Beitang family, he naturally would not let Si Nian into this quagmire.I owe him enough.

"If there is anything else that Huake wants to bring, I can send someone to my uncle's house." Qi Guang knew that even if he wanted to thank him, Si Nian might not accept it, so he simply asked Ruohua.

Ruohua also understands Qi Guang's meaning, but after this trip, she is alone, so why should she need too many things outside of her body.In the past year or so, he has gradually appreciated Qi Guang more and more. It has to be said that if Qi Guang becomes emperor in the future, Chu Ping will definitely be able to enter another prosperous age.

So Ruohua smiled and said:

"Why don't you play a game of chess with me again, brother Zhao, don't be distracted this time."

Ruohua and Qi Guang met each other because of a well-designed chess game. The two had their own concerns, and played chess several times to talk about it.Now that everything is over, it's time to really fight chess and discuss the game as friends.

Qi Guang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Then Ruohua should be merciful."

Ruohua is still black, Qiguang is white.Si Nian sat aside, sipping tea and watching carefully.

After several rounds between the two, Ruohua settled down and surrounded Qi Guang:

"It seems that I won again."

Qi Guang also put down the chess pieces in his hand and said:

"Indeed."

Ruohua and Sinian have left here, and he will continue to struggle in this endless palace.

Qi Guang looked at the sky, it was not too early, he wanted to return to the palace before dark, so he got up and said:

"When there is a chance in the future, let's play chess together. Playing dead is a skill. I will win next time."

"Then it's settled." Ruohua said with a smile.

Si Nian also stood up, looked at Qi Guang and said, "Be careful. If something happens, send me a message."

"it is good."

Qi Guang looked at the backs of Sinian and Ruohua leaving, then turned to look at the chess game, and sighed softly.The courtyard is clean and he is the only one. There are trees and flowers, but there seems to be nothing. Everyone walks in the cold and finally wants to walk alone in the world.

"Mingqing..." The only thing left in the empty courtyard was this murmur.

--------

Before leaving, Ruohua wrote three letters and sent them to Xiangfu.

Originally, Si Nian wanted to leave a few days late so that Ruohua could go back to Tingzhou, but Ruohua hesitated and refused.He was afraid that Mrs. He would be upset, and he was also afraid that he would reveal his clues after asking his father the reason.

In the three letters, Ruohua said that he was not filial and could not always be with his parents.In the letter to He Shi, there are more words of consolation, and in the letter to Xiang Fu, it is said that he is willing to follow King Yan to defend Chuping.But in the letter to Zhenzhen, there are more exhortations, and he must choose someone with good looks and good conduct.

I don't know if I will return to the capital after this trip.Most of the servants in Prince Yan's mansion were also sent away. Odan refused to leave at first, but Ruohua smiled and said:

"I'm still waiting for the next time I come back to tease my sister's child. If my sister doesn't dislike it, I can save the child's words for me."

With red eyes, Odan gave more instructions, and stuffed Ruohua with two packages.It was only the day before Ruohua and Si Nian left that Ruohua sent them to the gate of Prince Yan's Mansion.

"In the past, my sister sent me off, and this time I also want to send my sister off." Ruohua looked at the person who made him feel sincerely treated at first, and felt grateful in his heart.

"My lord..." Odan choked with sobs, "If it's hard over there, my lord, don't wrong yourself too much."

"With the prince here, what else are you worried about?" Ruohua said with a smile.

Odan bit his lip, bowed his knees and gave a final salute, holding back his tears and said, "Thank you, my lord, for your care, Odan will never forget it in this lifetime."

"It's me, thank you for taking care of my sister these days." Ruohua also leaned slightly.Thinking of what happened after coming here, I always feel a warm feeling in my heart.

In the palace, except for a few servants, it was almost empty.

After Ruohua got up, he found that Si Nian was no longer in bed, so he got up and washed, tied up his hair with the red ribbon, got dressed, and went out.

Si Nian stood under the tree, waving his sword and dancing, just like in the past.Seeing him coming out, Si Nian put down his sword, walked towards Ruohua, kissed his forehead and said:

"Come for a match?"

Ruohua punched Sinian, but was stopped. After a few back and forth, Ruohua focused on finding Sinian's flaws, and then punched quickly.But he never wanted to be pulled out by Sinian's arm, and was pulled forward, and then he only felt his body lightly being held by Sinian's shoulders.

"Why are you cheating again?" Ruohua complained.

"Soldiers never tire of cheating." Sinian smiled, then put down Ruohua who was kicking around, patted his head and said, "Let's go, we should leave after dinner."

After Ruohua was put down, she smiled slyly and then threw herself on Sinian's back.

"Why, you want to strangle me again?" Si Nian supported the person behind him with his hands, as if he was afraid that he would fall.

Unexpectedly, Ruohua quickly kissed Si Nian on the face, jumped down, and then ran away and said to Si Nian who had not yet recovered from the "sneak attack":

"A rare soldier can win."

Si Nian touched his side face, looked at the person who had already run away, and smiled with the corners of his mouth raised.

The two of them had breakfast, took their gifts and saluted, and left the house.

The two rode on their horses and turned around to look at the quiet palace. The three big characters "Yanwangfu" were still very prominent at the door, but the door was completely silent and there was no one else.

Neither of them said much, they just watched quietly.

Ruohua thought of the countless mornings where Si Nian was standing there, and he always saw his back as soon as he went out.I don't know when it started, but it was a reassuring existence every morning.

And Si Nian remembered that every time he turned around, he would see the boy standing behind him.It's like this every day, but it's tempting every day.

After a long time, Si Nian said:

"Let's go."

"kindness."

Yan Wangfu gate, the sound of horseshoes went away.

--------

Half a month later, Sinian and Ruohua arrived in Ehe.That day was the birthday of Ruo Hua's previous life.

At night, Si Nian tied Ruohua's eyes with a cloth, and then hugged him while riding a horse.

Ruohua only felt that there was darkness in front of him, but the warm body behind him gave him boundless peace of mind.Even the grassland wind has become so gentle.

Si Nian stopped his horse and untied the cloth in front of Ruohua.

The stars are dotted and fall into the eyes.

On the vast grassland, there are countless paper lanterns.It seems as if the stars have fallen into the world, the sky is long, and the light shines brightly.

"Although Xiang Ruohua's birthday is in January, I also want to wish you a happy birthday for Xia Qing."

"No matter who you are, you are like this lamp that reflects my heart."

Ruohua looked into Si Nian's eyes, those eyes were also gentle in the dark night.Every little spark is full of his own reflection.

With the government and the world, his family and country, he doesn't want to gamble anymore, and he doesn't want to struggle alone anymore.Since the current world is this person's homeland and destination, it is not impossible for him to keep this place safe together with him.

Ruohua gently kissed Sinian's lips, then said with a smile:

"Chu Sinian, I like you."

Si Nian was taken aback for a moment, and then felt some soreness in the corners of his eyes.He hugged the person in front of him tightly.said:

"Me too."
