Shen Haozhe went to the palace on horseback, but returned to the mansion in a carriage. He Jing, who was pacing back and forth at the gate of the general's mansion, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw him.

"I just said that the general is sure to be fine, what else is there to apologize for?"

He didn't know what happened in the palace, he rubbed his hands cheerfully and greeted him,

"Your majesty was furious in the palace today, and killed one of the court officials who impeached you. How could he punish you..."

"……What did you say?"

Shen Haozhe was so astonished that He Jing didn't pay attention to his abnormal voice at all, and was also taken aback, saying,

"The general doesn't know yet?"

Then he recounted what he had heard with embellishment, and said again,

"With the emperor backing the general, you can feel at ease..."

Before finishing speaking, Shen Haozhe tilted his body, and He Jing stepped forward to support him in surprise, only to find that Shen Haozhe's hands were cold, and his chiseled face was distorted due to the expression of pain. He was even more horrified, and said anxiously ,

"What's wrong with you, General? Did you catch some sudden illness?"

Shen Haozhe didn't answer, his eyes were frighteningly bright on his pale face, he didn't expect that Cang Lan would risk the world's shame for him.As the new emperor whose imperial power has not yet been consolidated, he can stand alone against everyone's opinions... That person actually trusts and values ​​him so much.

However, he was in a dilemma and couldn't make a choice. In order to make himself feel at ease, and to atone for his guilt, he personally destroyed all of this!

He knew very well that Cang Lan was not as frivolous towards him as she appeared on the surface, the other party had never crossed that bottom line, and even in the midst of anger, she gave him a chance.Perhaps it is precisely because of this kind of pity that he can do those humiliating actions that are absolutely impossible for others.Feeling like nothing towards Cang Lan made him feel so guilty that he couldn't blame Shen Haojin, he desperately wanted to put aside his private thoughts about Cang Lan, wanted to redeem himself with guilt...but he did the most selfish thing!

He originally thought that this self-destructive act of letting Cang Lan vent his anger on himself would not necessarily save Shen Haojin, but at least it could alleviate his sense of guilt, and at least it could stop the mouth of the world for Cang Lan.

Only now did he realize that the loss outweighed the gain, and he could be worthy of his brother, but he would feel as much pain as he had hurt Cang Lan when he knowingly committed the crime before.

Regret... It's too late!

The one who really deserves the blame is himself... When he fell into Cang Lan's tenderness irresistibly, the name he called and the undisguised remorse after the impulsiveness were also the punishment he deserved.

Some people feel that they are more tolerant of people who are closer to them, but some people feel that they will ask for more.In fact, the biggest possibility is that in some aspects, people will be more tolerant, but in some aspects, they will be more harsh.

Cang Lan has always believed that when dealing with subordinates, these things should be put aside, and the problem should be solved in the way that is most beneficial to oneself, rather than according to one's own emotions.

He could have reprimanded Shen Haojin for committing repeated crimes, making Shen Haozhe unable to refute, but he couldn't say it out—because the reason for the other party's indifference made him feel like begging for forgiveness from a person who betrayed him.But on the contrary, he would feel betrayed because of such a reason, and he also found that his relationship with Shen Haozhe was too much beyond their due relationship - it shouldn't be like this!

Cang Lan already somewhat regretted that she had scolded Shen Haozhe, and even more regretted that she was so intoxicated with treating Shen Haozhe as Yiyan... Those blue eyes should be unique...

He was in the cell where the dereliction of duty guards were guarded in the military camp. Xing Ye heard that Cang Lan got very drunk at the banquet for the envoys of the Kingdom of Hui, but the person who brought this rumor had nothing to do with the military camp. It was his Leng family. Brother, cold day.

"How do I know him...you have to worry about how drunk the emperor is, and go see for yourself."

As Leng Zhou spoke, he saw Xing Ye standing by the unlocked door, bowing his head in silence, but he didn't see himself winking at all, and became even more anxious,

"Do you know...you can't provoke the emperor?!"

He originally wanted to say, 'Do you know that General Shen was 'taught' for non-essential crimes', but he turned a corner as he spoke.

"My lord...are you angry with me?"

Seeing Xing Ye raised his head immediately, Leng Zhou snorted coldly,

"If you know you are afraid, go back with me. Do you want the emperor to pick you up in person?"

"I……"

"It seems that the guard has not made up his mind yet,"

Xing Ye was hesitating, two people came down from the door of the prison, a man smiled and squeezed his eyes from the man dressed as a guard, and said,

"However, our Majesty is impatient to wait."

"Should I stand outside and drink the northwest wind? My Hubu Shangshu?"

The other lazily replied, looking at a row of empty cells, seemed to be very interested in the beds covered with straw,

"It's different from other prison cells here, and it makes you linger, Xing Ye."

Seeing the person coming, Leng Tian yelled that it was not good, and quickly knelt down. Xing Ye looked at the person who was walking slowly, and was even more surprised that he couldn't say a word, but Lei Jiao at the side continued to speak desperately,

"Standing outside to be recognized by others is indeed better than going down to the prison in person. After all, His Majesty just promised the ministers that it was not."

"I only said less going out of the palace, when did I say not?"

If the emperor could deny it without blushing and without heartbeat, Cang Lan was naturally indispensable, and her demeanor was calm. Obviously, the previous mention of drunkenness was just a cover.

Lei Jiao was speechless for a moment, and the phrase 'seldom leave the palace' was indeed a lie, but who could ask the emperor not to say a single step at the palace gate?Tu Laosan, who had been following him, was transferred away and became the deputy general guarding Yiyan. He was still worried about it. He went to the palace and wanted to report the political affairs in his hand several times to leave, but Cang Lan ordered a lot of troublesome errands , and asked him to help get out of the palace...

This can be regarded as a run on the opportunity, Cang Lan is actually more rascal than him?

Cang Lan also ignored Lei Jiao, raised her eyebrows and turned to Xing Yedao who was watching the two 'confrontation',

"You don't want people to see my back, what should I do if I dyed my hair with black juice?"

"...My lord!"

It turned out that Cang Lan had already seen her intentions, Xing Ye was startled when he heard the words, and then remembered to kneel down.

Cang Lan sighed and said,

"Let's go, didn't I say that if you want to protect others, you must protect yourself first, don't let me watch you all the time..."

This whisper coincided with the hallucination he thought he had when he was on the verge of life and death. Xing Ye stared blankly at Cang Lan turning around, and when he realized what he was doing, he got up and followed that figure.His chest was filled with something, and he couldn't calm himself down until he returned to the palace Xing Ye, but as Cang Lan's smile disappeared, his worry immediately replaced the turmoil in his heart.

"What are you thinking about?"

Seeing that Cang Lan's silver eyes were not as deep as before, Xing Ye almost realized that the words came from Cang Lan's mouth when he met those eyes almost because he accidentally asked the question.How could Xing Ye know the answer, and Cang Lan curled the corner of her mouth with a half-smile, "You've been staring at me for a full two moments."

"Subordinate...!" Xing Ye's ears turned red, and he said immediately, "Subordinate...do you think...the Lord has something on his mind?"

"Oh?" Cang Lan was taken aback for a moment, then put down a stack of documents, leaned on the couch and raised her eyebrows, "Why do you see that?"

"Subordinates lie..."

Xing Ye answered quickly, but subconsciously paused on Cang Lan's face, his actions were obvious to Cang Lan's eyes.

Cang Lan stared intently at Xing Ye's expression. He has recently discovered that this boring gourd who has almost no expression, actually often reveals some subtle changes. It is not difficult to interpret if he is really careful, but he used to have his back to each other. .Thinking of this, he chuckled and said,

"That's right, after a long time, I can see the difference even if you are a dull gourd, not to mention you always stare at me..."

"The subordinates have no other intentions!"

Feeling that his deepest thoughts were revealed in one word, Xing Ye panicked and denied it without even thinking about it.How could Cang Lan fail to see his panic, and suddenly said,

"What do you think I am?"

Being asked this question, Xing Ye was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that he shouldn't avoid this question, and said involuntarily,

"It's the most important person under my subordinates..."

The words were out of his mouth, when Cang Lan looked over in surprise, he realized how ambiguous his words were, he wanted to bite off his tongue, he was not good at words, he had thousands of excuses, but he just couldn't find one that would be acceptable. down the steps.

Cang Lan didn't expect this answer, so she was stunned for a moment before recovering from this answer that was almost the same as a confession, and found that Xing Ye was sweating in a hurry, he couldn't help laughing The sound, then turned into a big laugh, said,

"It turns out that you really like me, and it seems that I am not so disgusting."

Xing Ye didn't know what to do now that he got such a reaction when he said something that was leaking, should he breathe a sigh of relief?But seeing Cang Lan smiling so happily, he really couldn't take back the words.

Cang Lan laughed for a while, then hooked her hands, signaling Xing Ye to approach.The pressure on his heart seemed to have eased a lot with the smile just now. He reached out and grabbed Xing Ye's arm and pulled him towards him. The body in his arms was abnormally stiff, but he felt that the other party seemed to be desperately Cooperate with yourself.Cang Lan sighed in her heart, it seems that although she missed it, she still should believe that she can distinguish good from bad.

After closing his eyes for a moment, he smoothed the hair on the other's forehead, and then said,

"It would be nice to stay with me tonight."

Few people can refuse Cang Lan's invitation, let alone Xing Ye, and his nervousness can be imagined.

The night was already slightly cool, and he leaned over the side of the couch facing Cang Lan, Xing Ye didn't dare to move, and the person holding his waist didn't even move. After a long time, he realized that the other person had fallen asleep at some point.

It was too different from what he thought, Xing Ye was stunned for a while, and he quickly threw aside a trace of sense of loss when he noticed Cang Lan's slightly frowning brows. He stared at the word "Chuan" for a long time, but did not dare to reach out to touch it.

Xing Ye got up gently, he couldn't help hesitating whether to move Cang Lan from the couch in front of him to the bed.Because of the blood of the Haoxuan clan, Cang Lan is obviously taller than the Central Plains people, and now he is a little taller than Xing Ye. Although his strength is enough to ignore this...but he feels that doing so would be offensive, even if Cang Lan is a young man At that time, he didn't dare to think about hugging the other party.

Cang Lan slept very lightly, he had already noticed Xing Ye's movement from the moment he moved, he wanted to cheat but didn't know that the other party stood still in front of the bed for a long time, and he didn't know what he was thinking, he finally couldn't pretend, opened his eyes eyes,

"How long are you going to stand there?"

"My lord... are you awake...?"

"Yelu is so cold, I'm afraid of the cold."

Cang Lan narrowed her eyes and smiled silently. Seeing that Xing Ye was bewildered and seemed to want to go to the bedroom to get the mattress, the corners of her eyebrows twitched, leaving the seat in front of her body empty.

"I told you to sleep."

Before Xing Ye could fully react, Cang Lan pulled him down abruptly, wrapped him in his arms, and said,

"Sleep, I'm tired, don't wake me up again."

Maybe it was because the other party could make him relax, or maybe it was because he was really tired, after a while Cang Lan fell asleep again, but Xing Ye couldn't sleep all night.

He could no longer convince himself that he dreamed of this embrace, but that defenseless sleeping face was enough to make him nostalgic, and he even felt that he could keep looking at it like this forever. He carefully stretched his arms around Cang Lan's back, and his arms were so stiff that his arms felt a little dizzy. Trembling, but finally did not dare to embrace it, and only put it back to his side.

But he had no chance to recover from the physical strength he had consumed in the battle the day before yesterday, and he hadn't closed his eyes for two nights. At dawn, he couldn't resist sleepiness.

When Cang Lan woke up, it was rare to find that Xing Ye was buried in his chest and was sleeping soundly. He had already heard the sound of footsteps outside, which should be the eunuch waiting for the living room waiting outside the gate of the palace.When she moved a little, she felt the other person's arm holding her tightly, Cang Lan hesitated for a moment, and then lay down again.
