you are my tomorrow

After a burst of cloud and rain, in a dark room, Zhao Rongzhen leaned on his upper body, half sat on the bed, with pillows behind his back, and then leaned against the wall, and Comet, who was covered with a quilt with Zhao Rongzhen, leaned on his left shoulder, waist-length The long hair hangs casually on both sides of the face.Zhao Rongzhen embraced Comet with open arms, held Comet's hands, put them around Comet's waist, and greedily inhaled the fragrance from Comet's hair.

"...Rong Zhen, if we go on like this without being made public, will you be happy? We still have a long way to go in life, do you really not plan to get married?" In the darkness, Comet's lazy voice sounded, Zhao Rongzhen tightened his arms.

"Will you marry?"

"Of course not. I don't seem to be suitable for marriage. I don't have a territory or a title. Which lady wants to marry me? You are not me. You are our great general who protects the country. There will be ladies from other families vying to be your concubine..."

"What's going on in your head?" Before Comet could finish speaking, Zhao Rongzhen raised a hand and tapped forcefully on Comet's temple. Looking at Zhao Rongzhen behind him, even his father had never done this to him.

Zhao Rongzhen stroked Comet's hair soothingly, and then put Comet's head on his chest, Comet could only hear Zhao Rongzhen's steady heartbeat.

"Hui Xing, from now on, you have to listen carefully. My heart beats only for you, and my life exists only for you. I, Zhao Rongzhen, will never have any wife or concubine in this life. I only want you alone." People, and you are the only one, do you hear me clearly?"

Comet smiled knowingly, but tears flowed down the corners of his eyes slowly, and the hesitation in the temple during the day also flowed out of his mind with tears.

That's right, I only want Zhao Rongzhen alone in my life, and only Zhao Rongzhen is alone. Even if I may not be blessed, not accepted, or even spurned and abused in the future, I will only live for this person.

The next morning, Zhao Rongzhen woke up when it was just dawn, and Comet was still asleep. Zhao Rongzhen gently pulled his arm from under Comet's neck, got out of bed, and put it on lightly. Because there was no candle, Zhao Rongzhen accidentally kicked down the stool next to the table, waking Comet up.

"Why don't you light a candle?"

"I'm not afraid of waking you up, but still..." Zhao Rongzhen smiled embarrassedly, and sat on the side of the bed.

"Are you going?"

"Well, I didn't tell my parents last night that I want to sleep out. I should go back early, so that they don't know."

"Then I won't send you off." Comet tightened the quilt, and as soon as Zhao Rongzhen left the quilt, the warmth seemed to go with him.

"Don't send me off, I'll come back to see you in two days." Zhao Rongzhen leaned down and kissed Comet on the forehead lightly, and then the two held hands, Zhao Rongzhen reluctantly left the Ming and Qing Palace.

When he got home, it was almost dawn, Zhao Rongzhen climbed over the low wall, entered the house, returned to his room, changed into casual clothes, and went out of his room after breakfast time.

At breakfast time, the family of four finished breakfast quietly. After breakfast, Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei changed into court clothes and entered the palace for the morning court. Before leaving, his father told Zhao Rongzhen to come back early after the morning court. There were wedding matters to be discussed, but Zhao Rongzhen only perfunctory He let out an "um" and left, his father heard that Zhao Rong was really unwilling, but this wedding is imperative, no matter how unwilling Zhao Rong is.

On the way to the palace, Zhao Rongzhen and Zhang Wei rode horses and remained relatively silent, "Brother, you are not going to tell the family about you and His Highness Comet? Dad asked me yesterday who you like, and I said I don't." Know."

This was the first sentence the two had quarreled the day before yesterday.

"Are you going to ask me about Comet and me, or do you want me to thank you for not telling my father about Comet and me?" Zhao Rongzhen glanced at Zhang Wei, and then returned to the front.

"I just want to ask you and His Royal Highness Comet what to do in the future." Zhang Wei asked cautiously, this was the first time Zhao Rongzhen heard Zhang Wei say such a thing, he looked at Zhang Wei puzzled.

"I won't agree to this marriage. As for me and Comet... We will figure it out, so don't worry about it, just keep it a secret for me... Thank you." Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head and cleared up a little embarrassingly Clearing his throat, Zhang Wei also withdrew his gaze and didn't say anything else.

After the morning court, Zhao Rongzhen sat in Han Qing's study for a while, and Han Qing naturally asked about Zhao Rongzhen's marriage.

"How are you getting ready for the wedding? When you're ready, I'll ask someone to deliver the gift to you."

"...Your Majesty, if I say that I have someone else in my heart and I don't want to agree to the marriage with Mr. Wu, will you help me?"

Han Qing looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a little surprise, "I heard that Miss Wu's family is an only daughter. She was raised as a son since she was a child. She is proficient in everything except martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. If you marry her back home, you will definitely not regret it. Then you see Which lady did you go to? Let me see if I can coordinate it for you."

"Your Majesty, I dare to ask you, what do you think of marriage? Is it important to love, or to be well-matched?"

Han Qing couldn't answer Zhao Rongzhen's question for a while, because in his mind, only the appearance of Meng Qinghuan appeared. He also asked himself like Zhao Rongzhen, whether love is important or being in a good family is important, but Han Qing has been unable to think of himself. s answer.

"What do you think?"

"I thought... Being in a good family is just one aspect, and love is indeed the most important link in a marriage. Without love, a marriage is just an empty shell, and the two of you will not be happy, and you are just wasting each other's lives... "

"Actually, the person I love is a comet" Zhao Rongzhen almost blurted out this sentence, but seeing Han Qing's confused look, he swallowed it back, Zhao Rongzhen still didn't have the courage...

"You are right, but sometimes there are many helpless things in life. I know this truth, but life still has to follow the rules and regulations, because there are too many rules and regulations that restrict people, and they cannot escape..." Han Qing looked at Muttering to his own teacup, as if he was talking to Zhao Rongzhen, and also as if he was talking to himself.

This time it was Zhao Rongzhen's turn to look at Han Qing in confusion, not knowing what it meant.

"Your Majesty, Qing Huan is back." Meng Qinghuan's voice sounded from the door of the study, Han Qing raised his head, his eyes lit up, watching Meng Qinghuan walk in gracefully, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Come back so early? Don't you stay longer?"

Seeing that Zhao Rongzhen was there, Meng Qinghuan nodded to Zhao Rongzhen as a greeting, "The abbot has something to do at the foot of the mountain today, so I will go down the mountain with him."

Zhao Rongzhen remembered the results of yesterday's divination, so he wanted to ask. Seeing that the emperor and Meng Qinghuan had been talking, they couldn't get in for a moment. Meng Qinghuan knew that Zhao Rongzhen was watching him, but he didn't know how to tell Zhao Rongzhen, so he kept Pretending not to see Zhao Rongzhen's gaze.

When Meng Qinghuan resigned and said he was going back to his room, Zhao Rongzhen resigned calmly. After leaving Han Qing's study, he followed Meng Qinghuan to Meng Qinghuan's room.

"The general wants to know the result of yesterday's divination, right?" Zhao Rongzhen thought that Meng Qinghuan hadn't seen him, but Meng Qinghuan stopped in front of the room without turning around, as if he knew about Zhao Rongzhen's stalking. Turning around slowly, looking at Zhao Rongzhen calmly, Zhao Rongzhen smiled embarrassedly, "General, just remember that His Royal Highness Comet and you are destined to meet each other no matter what the circumstances are, and, in the cycle of life after life, you Their fates may all be entangled."

"I don't know if there will be a next life, I just want to know... How far will we go in this life?"

Meng Qinghuan looked at Zhao Rongzhen with a beautiful smile, "I don't know how far we will go, but please cherish the time we can be together now and don't leave any regrets." Meng Qinghuan leaned towards Zhao Rongzhen, then went up the steps, wanting to Back in my room, I recalled what the abbot said, "By the way, the abbot also told you and His Royal Highness Comet to pay more attention to the protection of your joints, especially you, you should be very careful recently. If you protect well, you should be fine. If you don't If you are careful...the root cause of the disease may be left behind and become a fatal injury." After speaking, Meng Qinghuan entered the room and slowly closed the door.

Zhao Rongzhen watched Meng Qinghuan slowly disappear behind the door, a reassuring and relieved smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I don’t know how far we will go on this road, let’s take it as “forever”. If our meeting is destined to be fate, I don’t want to escape, I like it, and I am willing to accept this fateful arrangement...

It was near noon when Zhao Rongzhen came home. His father and mother seemed to have made an agreement, and sat in the living room waiting for him. Besides his parents and Zhang Wei, there were two other people in the living room—Master Wu and Mrs. Wu.Seeing that Zhao Rongzhen came back, the four of them looked at him in unison.

Zhao Rongzhen politely greeted Master Wu and Mrs. Wu, and the parents of the Wu family looked at Zhao Rongzhen with admiration, which made Zhao Rongzhen not feel proud at all, but rather embarrassed, but he also knew that Miss Wu's parents were here, It was obvious that they were discussing something, but his father looked at him dissatisfied.

Zhao Rongzhen automatically took the seat farthest from his father, "Master Wu and the others came to discuss your wedding with Lijun. We all agreed that this marriage is a joyous event. If it catches up with the Chinese New Year, it will be a happy event, so we They all decided to advance the wedding date, and wait a month later, on the Lunar New Year's Eve, to help you hold your wedding." Father told Zhao Rongzhen the result of the discussion between the four of them just now, and Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head and said nothing, "Why don't you talk? Don't talk So you agree?" Seeing that Zhao Rongzhen didn't speak, his father chased after him, but Zhao Rongzhen still kept his head down and didn't speak.

Master Wu thought it was Zhao Rongzhen who was shy, "Master Zhao, don't chase so closely, the child is still young, maybe he is shy..."

"I can't agree to this marriage." Zhao Rongzhen lowered his head, but his tone was very firm. Wu's parents looked at Zhao Rongzhen in surprise, "Master Wu, Mrs. Wu, I'm sorry, I, Zhao Rongzhen, can't marry a woman I've never met before. Forgive me." Zhao Rongzhen stood up and bowed deeply to the two, Zhao Rongzhen's words made the two old people look at Father Zhao at a loss, and Mother Zhao also looked at her husband at a loss.

"That's not a reason. Of course those who want to get married have to meet. We are planning to arrange for you to meet in these two days. Don't be stubborn." Father Zhao really couldn't tell the fact that his son already had someone in his heart, but the next moment , Zhao Rongzhen said it himself.

"Master Wu, Mrs. Wu, the reason why Rong really doesn't want to get married is because there is already someone in my heart. I can't marry Miss Wu with love for others. I'm sorry for Miss Wu, I'm sorry for myself, and I'm sorry for the person I love , I'm sorry, please forgive Rong Zhen's self-willedness."

After listening to Zhao Rongzhen's words, Master Wu and his wife's faces turned red and then turned pale, but thinking about it, they were also optimistic about Zhao Rongzhen's future at the beginning, so they wished to marry their daughter to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family also offered them a bride price. The civil and military officials of the court also knew that the two families were going to become in-laws, so it seemed impossible to withdraw the marriage.

"You brat, which family's girl can compare to Master Wu's daughter?!" Father Zhao got up angrily, and stepped over to Zhao Rongzhen's side in two steps. On Zhao Rongzhen's neck, although Zhao's father is getting older, his strength is still undiminished. This made Zhao Rongzhen kneel down in front of Wu's parents with a "plop", "You can't tell who it is, and you can't tell who it is. Reason, what's the use of making an apology? I don't care, you have to get married with this kiss, or you have to get married if you don't get married. You have no choice. I originally wanted to discuss with Mr. Wu to let you take a concubine, but now I don't care. Don't even think about it."

Zhao Rongzhen turned around and knelt in the direction of his parents. He kowtowed to his parents, "Father, mother, my son has never done anything against you since he was a child, but this time he is going to be unfilial. I can't agree." Zhao Rongzhen's calmness made everyone present feel unbelievable, they couldn't figure out who made Zhao Rongzhen so firm, Zhang Wei turned red-eyed, and turned his eyes away.

When everyone recovered, Zhao Rongzhen had already left the living room, "Xiaowei, go find your brother." Zhao's father hurriedly sent Zhang Wei out, Zhang Wei got up and left the house in a hurry.

Zhang Wei took a few family members and searched aimlessly on the street, but Zhang Wei knew that the most likely place Zhao Rongzhen could go was the palace, because with that person in the palace, Zhao Rongzhen would not know where to go. go.

In the evening, when the sun was about to set, Zhang Wei asked the servants to go back to report to their parents that Zhao Rongzhen had not been found, and said that he would look for it again. After the servants left, Zhang Wei went to the one near the palace where he could see the whole palace. On the hill, looking at the intricate courtyard in the huge palace, there must be a room where Comet and Zhao Rongzhen must be. What are they doing now?Are they happy together?

Zhang Wei's eyes were red, and the tears he had endured for a day finally fell down and wet his front, and he kept chanting one word over and over - brother.

Zhang Wei guessed right, after leaving home, Zhao Rongzhen went to the palace, directly to the Ming and Qing palaces, but today is the day when Zhongyi left the palace to go home, when Zhao Rongzhen arrived, Comet was not there, he was seeing Zhongyi off at the east gate of the palace.

Zhao Rongzhen waited in the living room for a while, and then brought Comet back. Comet was a little surprised when he saw Zhao Rongzhen's sudden appearance, but he didn't pay attention to the anxiety on Zhao Rongzhen's face.

"You came here after not seeing each other for a day?" Comet wanted to pull Zhao Rongzhen to sit down on the couch, but Zhao Rongzhen dragged him to Comet's bedroom in a hurry. After entering the room, Zhao Rongzhen closed the door and found it in the closet. A burden, and then packed Comet's winter clothes, "What's wrong with you? Why are you packing my things? I didn't want to leave the palace." Comet stood by and looked at Zhao Rongzhen who was busy back and forth, and didn't help.

"The Wu family's parents came to my house to discuss the wedding. I refused, and then escaped from the house. Now Zhang Wei must bring people everywhere to look for me. Come with me." Zhao Rongzhen said while packing his things, Comet's His expression became serious.

"Have you told your family about us?"

"No, I just told my family that I have someone in my heart, not you."

"Where are we going then?"

"I don't know, I can go wherever I can, I can go as far as I can, I can't wait any longer, if I am arrested, I will get married in New Year's Eve...I can't do this." Zhao Rongzhen finally Stopping, the unpacked baggage was spread out on the bed, Comet could see that Zhao Rongzhen didn't even wear a coat, because of the cold outside, Zhao Rongzhen who was facing him with his head bowed was trembling slightly, Comet took a few steps Walking to Zhao Rongzhen's side, hugged Zhao Rongzhen's waist from behind, leaned his head lightly on Zhao Rongzhen's broad back, Zhao Rongzhen slowly raised his cold hand, and held Comet's hand around his waist.

"Rong Zhen, if you don't become this relative, won't you be filial?" Comet's voice came from behind in a low voice, but Zhao Rongzhen didn't say anything, "Master Zhao and Mrs. Zhao raised you and Zhang Wei since childhood, and now, you all You have become the pillar of the country, and the future is bright. If you just leave with me in such an unclear way, you will waste your parents' efforts, lose a son, and let the emperor lose a general, a friend, Zhang Wei also lost a reliable elder brother... But if you go to get married, no one will lose you, but I lost a lover... From this point of view, the loss will be minimized..."

"What do you mean?" Zhao Rongzhen heard that something was wrong with Comet's words, so he pushed Comet's hand away, turned around and looked at Comet in confusion, Comet raised his red eyes, and looked at Zhao Rongzhen tenderly. "Let me go back and get married?"

"It doesn't mean anything else, just what you understand. Don't you think this is a very worthwhile thing to do?"

"You can't drive me away, let me tell you, I asked Mr. Meng today, and he told me the result of the divination given by the abbot. He said that the two of us are destined, no matter what, we will meet each other, and then fall in love , even if I go back to get married, my heart is still with you, don't you think if I go to marry someone else with the love I gave you, don't you feel sorry for that person?"

Comet smiled lightly, looking so pitiful in Zhao Rongzhen's eyes, "Are we... fate? I heard that Miss Wu's family is proficient in everything, and she is also very beautiful. Maybe... you will Falling in love with her?"

"Have you forgotten what I told you? 'My heart beats only for you in the future, and my life exists only for you. I only want you alone, and you are the only one'. These words are not false, you Don't try to push me away, don't even think about it until you die." Zhao Rongzhen immediately embraced Comet in his arms, tightly.

Comet's heart that was a little shaken just now gradually settled down, he slowly raised his hand, climbed onto Zhao Rongzhen's back, and responded to Zhao Rongzhen with the same tight hug...

It may be that it was a bit cold to run outside without a coat, Zhao Rongzhen felt sleepy for a while, Comet let Zhao Rongzhen sleep in his room, and the matter of the two of them leaving was temporarily put on hold, and when Zhao Rongzhen fell asleep, Comet gently Get out of the room and close the door.All the people in the Ming and Qing palaces were called to the living room.

"I don't know how many people outside the Ming and Qing Palaces have seen Zhao Rongzhen, but if someone comes to the Ming and Qing Palaces and asks if they have seen Zhao Rongzhen, you all have to say that you have not seen him, and you have not seen him come to the Ming and Qing Palaces recently, let alone tell anyone. Zhao Rongzhen is in the Ming and Qing palaces, if...someone leaks his words, that person will never want to work in the palace again, understand?"

The maids and servants nodded apprehensively. Although His Royal Highness Comet has been aloof since he was a child, he has never spoken harshly to them, nor has he abused his servants like other masters in the palace. In fact, he can be regarded as one of the few in this palace. One of the few good masters, but today's words only made them feel that this General Zhao, who often came to the Ming and Qing Palaces, was definitely not an ordinary person for the comet.

In the evening, Zhang Wei returned home and told his parents that they had not found anything about Zhao Rongzhen. The Wu family's parents had been sent away long ago, and the marriage could only be postponed indefinitely. Not something to be proud of.

Father Zhao paced back and forth in the living room, excluding the places that Zhang Wei had looked for before, thinking about the places that Zhao Rong could really go, thinking about it, it seemed that there was no place to go anymore.

Father Zhao, mother Zhao, and Zhang Wei were sitting in the living room, but it was as quiet as death, except for the sound of Father Zhao pacing back and forth. After a period of silence, father raised his head in a sudden realization.

"In the palace, in the palace, you didn't look for it, did you?"

Zhao's father looked at Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei's heart trembled, but he tried his best to stabilize his mind.

"...I didn't find it, but there is such a big target in the palace, can you go?"

"I don't know, but let's go and have a look tomorrow. It's better than never." Zhao's father made a decision immediately, and Zhang Wei could only bow his head silently.

"……Yes."

The next day, as soon as the morning time passed, Zhao's father entered the palace, went to Han Qing's study with Zhang Wei, and asked Han Qing if Zhao Rongzhen had come to the palace.

"Rong Zhen? Rong Zhen didn't come to the palace. I still want to ask, how did he come today?" Han Qing didn't see Zhao Rongzhen in the morning. In front of the ministers, Han Qing felt that not many people noticed Zhao Rongzhen. He didn't come, so he didn't ask. Han Qing only asked when Father Zhao and Zhang Wei were left.

"...Ah, I said a few words to him yesterday. He left as soon as he got angry. The older the child, the more difficult it is to manage." Zhao's father concealed it a little embarrassingly. Han Qing even said that he had not come to the palace, so Zhao's father said I have the intention to go.

"Master Zhao, logically speaking, if Rong Zhen enters the palace, it is impossible not to come to my place, but it is also possible that he is still angry, so he did not come to see me, why don't we go to Comet to see, usually the two of them go It’s also relatively close, maybe it’s okay to go to him.”

Zhang Wei stomped his feet secretly, Han Qing's idea was really "good", but for some reason, suddenly there was an idea of ​​"it would be great if they were discovered" from an unknown place in Zhang Wei's mind.At the same time that this kind of thinking appeared, Zhang Wei also felt that he should not have such a gloating mentality.

He instantly felt conflicted.

Zhang Wei had no choice but to go to the Ming and Qing Palaces with two people. When the time came, Comet and Zhao Rongzhen had just finished breakfast in the room, and a maid was a little flustered to inform that Han Qing, General Zhao and Zhang Wei were in the living room.

Comet and Zhao Rongzhen looked at each other in disbelief.

"It's okay, they can't come to the back anyway, I'll go to the front to see the situation."

Comet came to the living room fully dressed and saw three people sitting and waiting for him. Father Zhao and Zhang Wei came and got up and bowed to Comet. After a few words, Father Zhao got to the point.

"Rongzhen? Through Brother Huang, I do know Zhao Rongzhen very well, but he really didn't come to my place. After returning from the battlefield, he only came to my place once. In addition to the last time we went to the temple, we only saw him. After two times, what happened at home?" Comet asked pretending not to know anything, Zhang Wei looked at Comet's natural look, a bit wondering if Zhao Rongzhen had been here.

Father Zhao and Zhang Wei stayed in the Ming and Qing Palace for a while, seeing Comet's sure look, they also felt that Zhao Rongzhen hadn't come here, so the two got up and prepared to leave, Comet sent the three of them to the gate of Ming and Qing Palace, Zhang Wei suddenly turned around , which made Comet stunned, he just wanted to send the three of them away quickly, "His Royal Highness Comet, are you sure my brother hasn't been here?" Zhang Wei looked at Comet with special meaning, making Comet's heart sink.

"No... I haven't been here..."

"Xiao Wei, don't be rude." Zhao's father gave Zhang Wei a look, but he didn't make Zhang Wei lower his head.

"Then if my brother comes to the palace to look for you, you must tell us, we are all worried about him."

"Of course, Rong Zhen is also my friend, and I will definitely pass on any news about him."

Han Qing squinted his eyes and looked at the comet. He always felt that there was something wrong with the comet, something was wrong... he couldn't tell.

Comet looked at the backs of the three people going further and further away, and returned to his room when he was out of sight. Zhao Rongzhen walked back and forth in the room, and when Comet came in, he closed the door.

"How do they know I'm here?"

"They don't know, they just came to ask, but..." Comet stopped thinking of Zhang Wei's eyes that seemed to know something before he left. He hoped that he was wrong.

"But what?" Zhao Rongzhen looked expectantly at the hesitant person in front of him.

"Zhang Wei seems to know you are here, did you say anything to him?"

"No...he was also in a daze when I left. I watched him bring a group of people out, so I walked in the opposite direction from them..."

"No, I mean about us, what did you tell him?" Zhao Rongzhen was thinking about the scene when he went out yesterday, but Comet interrupted him, and Zhao Rongzhen fell silent.

"I didn't say it, he guessed it himself, and I didn't deny it." Zhao Rongzhen watched Comet lower his head slowly, apologizing slowly rising, "Should I deny it? I don't think Zhang Wei will... "

"It's okay, I also believe that Zhang Wei won't talk nonsense." When Comet raised his head again, a smile was already on his face, and Zhao Rongzhen patted Comet on the shoulder to express his comfort.

But Zhao Rongzhen suddenly understood that Comet seemed not ready to let others know about them.

Why not yourself?If he had the courage to admit it, he wanted to admit it to his father several times, but he didn't do it himself?Is not it?

After seeing Father Zhao and Zhang Wei off, Han Qing returned to the Ming and Qing Palaces. He didn't let Comet announce his arrival, but went directly to Comet's room with the door closed.

Hearing a knock on the door outside, Comet and Zhao Rongzhen were startled. Comet pointed to the wardrobe, beckoning Zhao Rongzhen to hide in quickly, but when there was no sound in the room, Han Qing knocked again, and the maid passing by the door of Comet looked a little panicked. Looking at Han Qing standing at the door.

"Emperor... Your Majesty... Your Highness didn't sleep well yesterday, and... fell asleep again..." The maid's voice was intentionally louder, as if Comet in the room heard it, and Comet quickly took off her coat after hearing what the maid said. Just the shirt inside.

Seeing that Zhao Rongzhen was hiding well, Comet came to the door, opened the door calmly, and made a sleepy look, Han Qing looked around the room, and there was only Comet alone,

"Is there anything else you can do, brother?" Comet yawned.

"Won't you invite me to sit down?" As he said that, Han Qing had already stepped into Comet's room with one foot, but Comet blocked the other foot from the door.

"Brother Huang... I suffered from insomnia last night and wanted to catch up, so..." Comet looked at Han Qing shyly.

"Oh, I wanted to tell you something, so I'll wait for you in front." Han Qing turned around to leave, but Comet stopped him.

"Then... just come in." After being told by Han Qing, Comet was really embarrassed. He opened the door and let the door out. Han Qing also smiled a little embarrassedly, and stepped into the room. .

Comet sent the maid to boil some hot water, then entered the room, and sat with Han Qing at the round table in the room.

Han Qing looked around the room. He knew that Comet loved to be clean since he was a child. There were not unnecessary things in the room, and he would not place any more, even things like water glasses. But when Han Qing sat at the round table, he found that the table was clean. There were two cups filled with water, still steaming slightly, "Has anyone been here?" Han Qing was a little surprised, except for himself, no one would come into this room.

"No...no, the weather has been a bit dry recently. Every time I wake up, my mouth is dry. I just drank two glasses of water. I want to say that I can drink it when I wake up." Seeing Han Qing notice the water glass, Comet's heart went wild After jumping a few times, he could only utter a few lies. Judging by Han Qing's expression, he seemed to believe it, but he didn't seem to believe it.

"This is not a good sign. If you are not feeling well, ask Meng Qinghuan to come over and show you. Don't hold on."

"...Okay." From the looks of it, Han Qing believed it.

The maid left after bringing hot water and tea, leaving only "two people" Han Qing and Comet in the room.

"Brother Huang just said something to me..." Comet put on a coat and sat at the table again. He just wanted Han Qing to finish what he wanted to say quickly. Zhao Rongzhen who was hiding in the closet must be uncomfortable. Qing saw the turquoise on his clothes, picked it up and looked at it carefully for a while, "Rong Zhen gave it to me, and said it was given to him by a general when he went to China."

"Are you and Rong Zhen very close? This stone looks quite expensive."

"...It's okay, of course I'm not as familiar as Brother Huang." Comet smiled awkwardly.

"Hasn't Rong Zhen really come to look for you? Although Mr. Zhao didn't say what the problem is, I have a hunch that it should be serious, otherwise he wouldn't have come to look for someone in person." Han Qing put down the turquoise, and the turquoise was on the ground. After shaking in the air for a few times, Han Qing looked at Comet suspiciously. Comet had never lied to Han Qing, but this time, it seemed that he was about to fail.

"...No, just like what I just said before, after Rong Zhen came back this time, we have met twice." Comet collected himself and met Han Qing's gaze.

Han Qing actually didn't suspect that Comet had met Zhao Rongzhen, he just felt that Comet was a little too calm. Hearing that Zhao Rongzhen left home, Han Qing would feel worried if he considered it as a friend, but Comet, who is also a friend of Zhao Rongzhen, was not in a hurry It looks like, to be able to give Comet the precious turquoise, Zhao Rongzhen is sure that Comet is not an ordinary friend, but Comet is so calm, Han Qing can only understand it as Zhao Rongzhen’s wishful thinking, maybe, the only friend Comet really cares about is loyalty.

"Well, I actually have nothing else to do, I'm just a little worried about Rongzhen's whereabouts." Han Qing drank the tea in the cup in front of him, "I'm leaving, you go to sleep."

Comet and Han Qing walked towards the gate of the Ming and Qing Palaces slowly, "Did Zhongyi say when he will be back?" Han Qing remembered that Zhongyi had already returned home.

"It should be after the beginning of spring. I heard that General Park's health has not been very good recently. Maybe..." Comet didn't say any more. He felt a little guilty for Zhongyi, because Zhongyi had been with him in the palace all these years. There was very little time at home, and he didn't take care of his father. If General Zhang really couldn't make it through this time, Comet would feel that Zhongyi didn't do a good job of filial piety in front of his parents.

"Hopefully he can make it through this time."

At the gate of the Ming and Qing Palace, Han Qing waved Comet, "Go back, it's so cold, you wear so little." Comet nodded, watching Han Qing go away, Comet went back.

When he arrived at the bedroom, Zhao Rongzhen had already come out of the closet, sitting beside the round table, playing with the comet's water glass, and had already changed into the clothes he had when he first arrived.

"What are you going to do?" Comet sat beside him, took the water glass into his hand, and withdrew Zhao Rongzhen's attention

"Let's leave the palace as soon as possible. The emperor has already suspected that you are here. I have figured out the route. After leaving the North Palace Gate, we can go all the way to the north. After about five days' journey, we will be able to reach the territory of China. We can find a village where no one knows us, and we can live happily there for the rest of our lives.”

Comet bowed his head and remained silent.

"Are you reluctant to leave the palace?"

"...It's not that I can't bear it, I'm just thinking, Brother Huang has been very kind to me since I was a child, but I don't even have the courage to tell him. If I leave without saying goodbye, he must be very sad. I can't even give him a reason. If Said that I can't bear to part with anything in this palace, I think only he makes me reluctant, and loyalty..."

Comet stood up, stood in front of the window, looked at the blue sky outside, his melancholy mood also infected Zhao Rongzhen, in fact, how could Zhao Rongzhen not think of his parents and Zhang Wei?If he left like this, he would never be able to repay the kindness of his parents for nurturing him over the years, and he would also be sorry for his brotherhood with Zhang Wei over the years.Zhao Rongzhen also stood up, came behind Comet, and wrapped his waist around Comet from behind, just like the night they decided to be together.

"Then what should we do? I actually don't want to part with my parents and Zhang Wei. If I really leave them alone, I need to think about it seriously."

Zhao Rongzhen's deep voice made Comet even more conflicted. He became firm several times, and his determination to be with Zhao Rongzhen began to waver again. He and Zhao Rongzhen also lived their whole lives in missing and apologizing to the people around them now, and could not get real happiness.

Perhaps Zhao Rongzhen's embrace was too warm, a moment's hug made Comet almost drowsy, and with his will still remaining, Comet woke up, he let go of Zhao Rongzhen's hand and turned around, looking seriously at the This man, this man who will make him care about him for the rest of his life.

"Rong Zhen, really, think about it, go home, marry Miss Wu, this way, I don't have to leave Brother Huang and Zhongyi, and you don't have to leave your parents and Zhang Wei, not for them, but for ourselves, for We will not regret it, and also because we don’t have to miss it from a long distance.”

"Are you starting to regret our relationship?" Zhao Rongzhen took a deep breath, and his eyes turned red.

"I don't regret our relationship, I'm afraid that we will regret not being with our dearest relatives in our lifetime, and we will not get real happiness and happiness. If you become relatives, we will still stay here and return to you. In the days before we are together, if you miss me, go to the palace to see me... But if you have a child, you may think of me less... Let's take advantage of it If you get separated when you get too deep, you will feel less sad..." Before he finished speaking, Comet was hugged tightly by Zhao Rongzhen, making him almost out of breath.

Comet is greedy for such a hug. If time can stop without breathing, Comet would rather lose his breath.

"...Are we going to live for others after all?" Zhao Rongzhen's hoarse voice rang in his ears, shaking Comet's tears welling up in his eyes, unable to stop.

"Live not only for others, but also for yourself."

Zhao Rongzhen let go of his hand and met Comet's eyes. Both of them were red-eyed, but they couldn't help laughing when they looked at each other.

"We are all fools, aren't we?" Although Zhao Rongzhen was smiling, tears fell down until the corners of his mouth could no longer maintain a smile. However, he found that he couldn't wipe it away, so Comet changed his method - he raised his feet slightly, held Zhao Rongzhen's face in both hands, and kissed it all the way from the forehead, eyes, nose, cheek... Lips, Zhao Rongzhen Her tears were warm and salty, turning into mouthfuls of bitter water in Comet's mouth, and it was even more bitter when it passed through her throat.

Zhao Rongzhen responded to Comet's light kiss, and seemed even more dissatisfied with such a kiss, so he took the initiative and did not separate until the two of them could not breathe.

Because of the short-term lack of oxygen, both of them were breathing quickly, but Zhao Rongzhen seemed to be breathing a little bit, "... Comet, I want you... maybe... this will be our last time..."

Comet raised his eyes and looked at Zhao Rongzhen tenderly, "We..." Before Comet could finish, Zhao Rongzhen sealed Comet's words with an aggressive kiss...

The whole day, the two of them spent the whole day in bed, and when they were tired, they embraced each other and fell asleep; when they woke up, they asked each other again, until the evening, when both of them were exhausted.

On this day, they may be spending it as the end of the world.

At dinner time, Meng Qinghuan said that it was cold recently and he should make some soup to nourish his body. So from the afternoon, Meng Qinghuan soaked in the chicken soup in the imperial kitchen. He wrapped up the soup pot, took Meng Qinghuan to the Ming and Qing Palace, and asked the imperial kitchen to cook some dishes that Comet liked to eat, and sent them to the Ming and Qing Palace, hoping to have dinner with Comet.

Han Qing tasted some soup before, and felt that Meng Qinghuan was really doing well, and wanted to surprise Comet, so no one informed Comet that he would go to the Ming and Qing Palaces, and went alone with Meng Qinghuan.

When we arrived at the Ming and Qing Palaces, it was already dark, and the maid who greeted us said with embarrassment that Comet hadn't woken up yet. Han Qing became a little worried, "Is Comet all right? Why don't you...can you take a look at him?" Han Qing To Meng Qinghuan who was beside him, to be honest, Meng Qinghuan was also a little worried, so he nodded.

Seeing the situation, the maid could not stop Han Qing, so she had to take Han Qing to the door of Comet's bedroom, but she refused to push the door, "Open the door." Han Qing felt a little strange, so he urged the maid.

"The emperor... the emperor should open the door by himself." After finishing speaking, the maid covered her face and ran away, which made Han Qing even more surprised, so she opened the door. The room was dark, and Meng Qinghuan went in first to touch the black spots. lit a candle, then lit
