, staring at the golden purse with mandarin ducks in it, lost sight of it.

Xiao Yujue looked down at the purse that was still warm, smiled, and put it back into Bao Rong's cold hand because of fear.

"Why do you stay in the yard alone? This mountain is no better than the city. It's very cold at night. You only wear such a single piece of clothing. What if you get caught in the wind and cold?" He said, taking off his gray linen overshirt. He put it on Baorong's shoulders, and touched his forehead by the way.

Baorong didn't hide, just stood there straight, shy like a child who has done something wrong.

"Fortunately, my head is not hot!" Xiao Yujue withdrew his hand, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said, "It's getting late, go back to sleep!"

Bao Rong was silent for a moment, and wanted to follow him back to the house, but just took a step, he immediately shook his head, stopped, and said in a low voice: "I still want to sit outside for a while, brother Yujue, or you Go to sleep first!" After finishing speaking, he sat back to his original position as if fleeing, and subconsciously held his purse tightly in his hands, for fear that he would accidentally drop it on the ground.

Xiao Yujue looked at his thin and thin back with tender eyes, and sighed almost inaudibly.After being a brother for so many years, he knows this brother better than himself. How could he not know what is going on in this kid's mind.

He shook his head slightly, went to the side to fetch some dry straw and came back.

"Get up, and sit on the grass, so that you don't get cold."

Hearing the sound, Bao Rong got up obediently, but deliberately turned his head to the other side.

"Sit down!" After laying a thick layer of straw, Xiao Yujue lightly pressed on Bao Rong's shoulder, exerting a slight force, motioning him to sit down.

After Baorong sat down, he also sat down beside him.

The cool wind was blowing, mixed with the rustling sound of the leaves, covering this small courtyard that wasn't too big.

"Anyway, I can't sleep, so I'll just sit here with you!" Xiao Yujue smiled, but forced a smile, paused, and then asked, "What are you thinking?"

"Hmm..." Bao Rong shook his head violently, and said falteringly, "No, I didn't think about anything!"

From the moment Xiao Yujue sat beside Bao Rong, he felt hot and cold on his face, and his heart was beating wildly.It's over, brother Yujue is so shrewd, he must have seen something, for example, if he asks me about that purse later, how should I answer?

"Since you didn't think about anything, why did you look so out of your mind and hesitated when you spoke? You were not like this before. By the way, do you have a girl you like?"

"No, no!" As soon as the words fell, Bao Rong turned around in an instant, stared at Xiao Yujue with two big clear eyes, and waved his hands quickly, "How could I—"

Xiao Yujue chuckled twice, "I was just joking, look at how nervous you are now."

Bao Rong's face turned red, and he looked at the man opposite him with a silly expression. After a while, he realized that he had been teased, so his cheeks puffed up, and he glanced fiercely to one side.

"What's the matter, are you angry?" Seeing this, Xiao Yujue coaxed her in a low voice, her voice was soft and warm like the warm sunshine in spring.

Baorong ignored him, but the corners of his eyes soon overflowed.Throat is sore, astringent, unable to spit out, unable to swallow, as if blocked by a stone.

Xiao Yujue didn't continue talking, but just rubbed Baorong into his arms, patted his slightly trembling back with his palm, and said softly: "Cry if you want to cry, don't be bored in your heart, let all the unhappiness in your heart be happy. Cry out with grievances."

"Woo..." The low sobbing sound was particularly loud in the silent forest, and it wet Xiao Yujue's underwear, and at the same time, broke his heart.

"I know, you have suffered a lot these days. The day Chu Xi was sent here, she was crazy. We traveled day and night to come to live in such a quiet place." Xiao Yujue caressed Bao Rong Luan's hair, "In order not to worry me, and to let me have more time to take care of Chu Xi, you always put on a smiling face, always leave the best food, and deliberately say that you If you don't like it, leave it to Chu Xi."

Bao Rong shook his head in his warm arms.

"That purse—did you prepare it for Xiao Yan?" Finally, Xiao Yujue asked.

All of a sudden, Baorong felt his mind was empty, as if it had been blown up.He, how would he know, how would he know that this purse is just a gift that I haven't had time to send out in the future?

Bao Rong raised his head, and quickly wiped away the tears hanging from the corners of his eyes.

"No, this purse, it's just—"

Xiao Yujue just looked at him quietly, waiting for his answer.

"Just, just—"

Bao Rong has yet to find a suitable excuse.That's right, he did prepare this purse for Xiao Yan. He intended to give it to him face to face as a thank you gift, but he never expected that the parting would come so quickly.

"Do you—do you like him?"

"I, how could I fall in love with him?" Bao Rong immediately retorted: "He wished he could kill me, how could he—- fall in love with me?"

Listening to his chaotic and disorderly words, Xiao Yujue didn't point it out, but there was already a bit of desolation in his eyes, "Is it because of those boring grievances?"

The battle for the throne is nothing new in the royal family.For that golden dragon throne, I don't know how many people are willing to give their lives, even if it's just to touch it, they will not hesitate, including Xiao Yujue.But in the end, what happened?

He chuckled sadly, "That person──he really likes you. If he didn't like you, he wouldn't have kept you until now! If my guess is right, that person must have sent all his friends now. People, look for you all over the world!"

(0.38 coins) Time has passed

Looking for him?What can I do if I find him?Bao Rong pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "Brother Yujue, let's go back!"

Xiao Yujue nodded, and the two got up and walked towards the house.

Time flies, counting the days, the three of them have lived in this mountain for a year, although it is a bit hard, but also happy.Under Xiao Yujue's careful care, Chu Xi's condition gradually recovered.

I thought that the days would continue so carefree, but God is not as good as you wish.

One day, when Baorong went up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, he overheard the conversation of a pair of passers-by by accident, which shocked him out of his wits.

"Hey, I heard no, our county is suffering from drought and there is no harvest. The emperor ordered us not to pay taxes this year!" A young man in civilian clothes with a basket on his back said with a smile and gestured.

"Really?" Another fat man with a beard asked suspiciously.

"Of course it's true. I have a buddy who works in the county government office. We drank together last night. He told me himself. If you don't believe me, let's go back to the streets of the county to see the tax exemption notice. It must have been posted all over the streets and alleys."

"Hehe──" The fat man immediately had a smile on his face, "Unexpectedly, once the title of the country is changed and the new emperor ascends the throne, we will also enjoy the blessings. Yeah, no tax hikes are enough to keep us entertained."

"That's right—" the commoner youth hurriedly echoed, "We are now Liang people."

Baorong supported the tree trunk with one hand, and his body shook violently.Changed country name?enthroned?Liang people?Who are they talking about? Are they talking about Xiao Yan?

"Wait, wait a minute──" Seeing the two people walking away, Bao Rong suddenly dropped the weeds in Zhuozi's hands, rushed forward, and asked out of breath, "You, what do you say?" Changed the name of the country, and still said that I am from Liang, what's going on?"

Those two people stopped in their tracks, turned around and looked him up and down, and then asked with a smile: "It seems that this little brother is not a local!"

"I, I live in this mountain, I have never been to the town, so, so—"

"No wonder!" The civilian youth looked at him with a strange expression, "Actually, it hasn't been long since the name of the country was changed. As soon as the new emperor came to the throne, he changed Qi to Liang. I don't know why, but like us These vulgar people, figure out what is the use of that thing, as long as they can do some practical things for us people, they will be a good emperor, regardless of whether it is Qi or Liang?"

"Then, do you know the name of the newly enthroned emperor?" Bao Rong blurted out impatiently.

"Ask for the name!" The clothed youth turned to look at the fat man next to him, and asked, "Do you know the emperor's name?"

The fat man looked even more bewildered, tilted his head and shrugged, "How could I know something that even you, a know-it-all, don't know."

The civilian youth thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "It seems, it's just like, the surname is Xiao, as for the full name, I really don't know! Why, little brother, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Could it be that you and the emperor I know you!" His tone of voice was obviously ridiculed and ridiculed.

Xiao, surnamed Xiao.That's right, it must be Xiao Yan, he really became the emperor!Bao Rong nodded firmly.But why is it taking so long?At the moment he left the palace, that is, a year ago, he could sit on the throne of God with the jade seal and the imperial decree he left behind. Why did he wait until now to change the name of the country to be emperor?

Could it be that he really waited until now to find himself?

"Thank you, thank you!" Bao Rong tried his best to control his trembling body, thanked him hastily, and ran towards the forest.

The two looked at each other
