Jade of Rebirth

King Qing's birthday banquet was naturally affected by the assassination. The emperor and several princes left in a hurry, and all the guests lost their interest.

It was already sunset when Yuli returned to the mansion, but as soon as Yuzhangci entered the door, he called him into the study.

"Father, you asked me to come over..." Yu Li asked suspiciously. Naturally, he had already guessed what Yu Zhangci was going to ask in his heart, but he was just pretending to be puzzled.

Yu Zhangci sat on the armchair behind the desk, frowned, and asked with some displeasure: "What is the relationship between you and the Ninth Prince?! Why did he come out to save you today?!"

Naturally, Yuli would not tell him the real situation, so he just said confusedly: "Son, I don't know how His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince will save me today. I only met him once. Last time Axue asked me to have dinner with Cyclamen. I met the Ninth Prince at that time, probably the Ninth Prince thought I was A Xue’s friend, so he gave me a special hug..." He said, as if he had thought of some reason, and said, "And my son heard that the Ninth Prince is a man Honest and polite, he probably saw that I was in danger, so he immediately rescued me, if it was someone else, he would do the same, right?"

But Yu Zhangci didn't believe what he said, stood up to analyze, and said slowly: "No, who is the Ninth Prince? Although he is not the choice of the emperor, he is also more expensive than ordinary princes. Generally speaking, if it is not Necessary, it is absolutely impossible to make a move by yourself, put yourself in a dangerous situation, and expose your own strength. At the critical moment today, he was there, far away from you, but seeing that you are in danger, he almost wanted to If you don't want to come here to save you..."

As Yu Zhangci spoke, he suddenly raised his head to look at Yu Li, his gaze was slightly lowered, but it was very meaningful.

Seeing him inspecting herself inch by inch, Yuli couldn't help avoiding his gaze, and her face gradually turned cold.

He said: "My son really doesn't know why the Ninth Prince made a move."

Yuzhangci's tone was full of probing and questioning: "But last time, he also sent you an invitation for no reason... the first time, it can be said that he was on a whim, but the second time, it can't be a coincidence, right? Lier , tell the truth to Weifu, does the Ninth Prince... have any other thoughts about you?"

Hearing this, Yu Li felt disgusted in his heart, he was not even sure about the matter between him and Yuan Heng, and the original pure emotional matter, once it involved Yu Zhangci, seemed to change the taste, he didn't want him to Become a stepping stone for Yu Zhangci to use... He has been used once in the previous life, and in this life, he will never be allowed to be used as a stepping stone to get promoted and get rich, and to fly to the branches!

He made a funny expression on his face, and looked straight at Yuzhangci with his dark and pure eyes: "Father, don't you think your idea is a bit absurd? Or, like everyone else, you think that I am born As long as you look like a woman, you should be liked by other men? And you are a high-ranking Prime Minister Zuo, don’t you know what to say and what not to say? Take a step back, Ninth Prince Even if you really favor me, what are you going to do?"

Yuzhang Ci was speechless by his robbing. Although he had the idea of ​​using Yuli to cling to the royal family, after all, selling children and daughters in exchange for Juelu is not honorable. How could he be upright? Proclaim it with your mouth?And Yu Li's words also reminded him... Speculating about the royal family, maybe in the eyes of the emperor, he would really commit a taboo, thinking that he planned to use his son to charm Bully, although wealth and glory are important, but do you have the life to enjoy more? important……

He gave a fake cough, straightened his expression, and said seriously: "You misunderstood the meaning of the father. What the father meant was that I hope you can draw a clear line with the Ninth Prince. You have also seen the situation today. Although the crown prince was established, But the princes are still quarreling and intrigue. This kind of thing will inevitably bring disaster to Chi Yu. Although the Yu family is not a famous family, there are dozens of people after all. If something happens, it will be difficult for me to protect the Yu family as a father. !"

Seeing what he said, Yu Li knew that he had thought it through, so she nodded and said, "Yes, father, I will handle this matter properly." As he spoke, he suddenly remembered something and looked at Yu Li. Zhang Ci, hesitantly, said, "By the way, father, there is something that I don't know whether I should say it or not."

"Say, what's the matter?"

Yu Li lowered his eyelids, and said: "Today I was used as a shield by that assassin, it was not because I fell out by myself, but because someone pushed me hard beside me..." As he spoke, he raised his eyes to see Yu Zhang's speech. expression.

I saw Yu Zhangci frowned, and said with a downcast face: "You mean, someone is going to kill you?!"

Yu Li nodded: "But it's a pity, I never saw the man's face, I only saw a black sleeve..."

A trace of surprise flashed in Yu Zhangci's eyes, as if he remembered something, but he didn't intend to say it, he just said: "Press this in advance, and I will check it for you for my father."

"Yes, thank you father." Yu Li arched his hands and said again, "If father has nothing else to do, son will go back first."

"Go."

Yu Li retreated respectfully, but the moment she turned around, her expression became extremely cold...

What Yuxuan is wearing today is a silver-white bijia on the outside, and an indigo-colored tunic on the inside!

……

In the middle of the night, everything is silent.

The night wind in spring was still a bit chilly, Yuli was wearing a cloak and strolling in the Pinnacle Garden, Wu Yeti was wearing a black dress, and followed him from a distance with a sword in his arms.

He couldn't sleep tonight, and he kept recalling the scene when Yuan Heng came to rescue him during the day, as well as that gentle smile in his mind.

In fact, Yuzhang Ci is right, princes and grandsons are all very expensive, and generally they will never make a move by themselves, even if they don't care about their own body, they have to think about whether they will expose their true martial arts background, but today Yuan Heng did not Don't care about anything, fly over to save him...

He didn't know what Yuan Heng's attitude towards him was. In fact, he didn't spend much time with Yuan Heng. If he had any deep feelings, he probably couldn't talk about it, could he?What's more, their identities are so far apart...

Although in this life he is no longer that bastard who doesn't know anything and knows nothing, humble enough to be in the dust, but his status is not that noble, even this face...

He looked at the Moon Pond, and saw the waning moon reflected in the pool, like an unpolished mirror, a mottled figure was reflected there, the delicate features of the young man were full of melancholy, as beautiful as a dragon girl who just came out of the lake.

He couldn't help but turned his back to the pool... He hated his face, which was as feminine as a woman's, and even an ordinary man's face was more to his liking than this face.He couldn't help but think that he once laughed at the prince Yuan Chen for his feminine appearance, speaking of which, what right did he have to laugh at him?Maybe I don't look as good as others, after all, they have a noble status, and their temperament is innate.

Just as he was thinking, he heard a "gudong" in the pool, as if a small stone had been thrown into the pool. He was about to turn around to look, when he saw a black shadow suddenly descending in front of him, and came towards him. As he approached, he immediately became nervous, took a step back subconsciously, and then heard a voice with a smile:

"it's me."

Yu Li heaved a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but said: "Why are you always sneaky, scaring me..."

In the darkness, Yuan Heng chuckled, then approached Yu Li, hugged him, and said happily: "I have endured it for a long time, waiting for the dark, and now I can finally see you..."

"Let go!" Yu Li reached out to push him, but the other party hugged him tightly, as if using all the strength of his body in his hand, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't make a point, so he had no choice but to stop him with words, " Let go quickly! You are the Ninth Prince, in the middle of the night, how decent you are..."

"No, don't let go." Yuan Heng hugged his waist tightly with his hands, clasped his hands behind his waist, and hugged him tightly in his arms, with joy and coquettishness in his voice, "You just Let me give you a hug, I saved you today..."

Yuli finally acquiesced when he heard him mention this matter.

Seeing that he stopped struggling and seemed to be getting more and more successful, Yuan Heng touched the top of his head with his chin: "You quarreled with the prince for me today, I am very happy."

Yuli said helplessly: "That's because you saved me, and I'm repaying your life-saving grace..."

"No, you are clearly protecting me." Yuan Heng said, with obvious complacency and joy in his voice, "Actually, when the crown prince said that I fell in love with you, I kept nodding in my heart, thinking, yes Ah yes, this time you are smarter, I just fell in love with him!"

Hearing this, Yuli's cheeks gradually became hot, but luckily she couldn't see it in the dark.

Yuan Heng sighed happily, and said, "I'm serious... Li Er."

After hearing this, Yuli felt his heart and ears swell, and his cheeks became even hotter. On a spring day in March, he seemed to be in May, his whole body was hot, and his hands were so stiff that there was nowhere to put them.

Wen Yuxue called him "A Li", and the elders in the family called him "Li Er", but when those people called this name, they didn't have [-]% sincerity, but Yuan Heng's call just now made him easily Hearing the love and tenderness in it, his heart was like a pool of water wrinkled by the wind, full of ripples.

Seeing that he was not moving, Yuan Heng let him go slowly, but clasped his fingers with both hands, bent down to look at him, those bright black eyes reflected the moonlight in the sky, and they were as fine as shimmering gems.He smiled softly and said: "I'm really serious, I didn't tease you, Li'er, I like you."

Yuli's whole body trembled slightly when he saw him, he stretched out his right hand, touched Yuan Heng's hand, covered his eyes with Yuan Heng's own hand, and said with trembling lips: "Don't look at me like this ... I will pretend that you have never said these words, and I, I am also serious."

Yuan Heng's smile froze at the corner of his lips.
