Ni said: "Okay, when did Brother Rong say he won't take you?"

When he said this, the father-in-law next to him got into trouble and faltered, "Rong, Mr. Rong, the emperor has ordered that the servants only take you with you, little prince—"

Ji Ran tugged on Baorong's trousers again, humming and moaning, as if he would cry if he didn't take him there.

"It's okay──" Bao Rong said with a smile: "If the emperor blames it, you can say that I insisted on taking the little prince there, and it has nothing to do with the father-in-law."

"This---" the father-in-law hesitated, looked at Baorong, then at the little prince, and thought about the emperor again, for a moment he really didn't know what to do.

"Okay then, son, please come with the servant!" After much deliberation, the father-in-law still compromised.

Bao Rong nodded, Ji Ran cheered even more, and ran out of the courtyard gate in a blink of an eye.

Although the father-in-law was holding a palace lantern in his hand, the light could only illuminate a small area around him. Ji Ran ran and wandered like crazy, so that Bao Rong had to follow closely behind him. Still shouting, "Ran'er, be careful, don't get tripped over by stones!"

After walking for about half a cup of tea with a anxious and irritable heart, the father-in-law finally stopped beside a rock-filled rockery, turned around and said respectfully, "Young Master Rong, we're here."

"Are you there?" Bao Rong looked around. In the dark night, except for the red lanterns hanging on the corridor, there was not even half a person. I really can't imagine why Xiao Yan asked him to come to such a place.

"Yes, Mr. Rong." Eunuch Chen said, "If Mr. Rong has no other orders, then the servant will leave first."

Bao Rong immediately nodded and said, "Eunuch Chen, go slowly."

After the father-in-law left, Ji Ran seemed to have restrained his playfulness. He ran to Bao Rong, raised his head and asked, "Brother Rong, what are we doing here?"

"I don't know either—" Bao Rong said, squatting down, "What did you do just now, why did you make your face so dirty, don't move, I'll wipe it off for you."

Ji Ran just kept smiling at him.After wiping, Bao Rong got up and was about to find a place to take Ji Ran to rest, but there seemed to be bugs wriggling on his shoulders, and then a gentle voice sounded.

"I still don't know how to take care of myself, I don't even know that fallen leaves are falling on me."

At some point behind Baorong, there was a man, who was smiling and reaching out to brush a dead leaf off his shoulder.

"Brother Rong, Brother Rong, what's wrong with you, why are you not moving? Is there something uncomfortable?" Ji Ran was frightened by Bao Rong who suddenly froze, and asked with two round eyes.

The man walked around Bao Rong slowly, looked into Bao Rong's eyes warmly, raised his hand and carefully gathered the hair from his forehead to the back of his temples, but the smile on the corner of his lips was a bit sad, "Everyone It's grown so big."

Baorong's eyelashes trembled slightly, and his eyes were filled with mist. After a long time, he tentatively called out a few words.

"Yu, Yujue...brother..."

(0.54 fresh coins) The moon is round and people are also round (finale)

That's right, those eyebrows, those eyes, that nose, and those lips are all familiar to him.It's just that I saw brother Yujue collapsed in front of my own eyes, why now...

"Brother Rong, who is this person?" Before Bao Rong had time to sort out his thoughts, he was interrupted by Ji Ran's words.

"You should be the little prince!" Xiao Yujue leaned over with a gentle smile, hugged Ji Ran who was flashing hostile eyes with one hand, and wrapped Baorong's still trembling shoulders with the other hand, his eyes flicked The hexagonal gazebo on the east side of the rockery, "Let's go and sit in the gazebo!"

Bao Rong stared at Xiao Yujue in a daze, and slowly moved his legs that seemed to be filled with lead.And Ji Ran was also surprisingly quiet, and he didn't make a lot of noise because of being hugged by a stranger.

"That, that, that night──" Baorong couldn't wait to ask before he sat down.

Xiao Yujue's thin lips slightly curled up into a beautiful arc, and he let Ji Ran sit on his lap in a leisurely manner, and said, "That's right, I did stab the dagger into my heart that night, and I should have died── He sighed lightly, turned his head and stared at Bao Rong with a gloomy gaze, "If he hadn't been rescued by that person, I'm afraid the one standing in front of you now could only be a ghost."

"You, are you really Brother Yujue?" Bao Rong's half-believing heart was finally shattered, "Then, who is that person who saved you?"

"You actually know this person, and he happens to be in the palace right now."

"I know you? You're also in the palace?" Bao Rong pondered for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said excitedly, "Could it be that the person you're talking about is, brother Shi?"

Xiao Yujue laughed without answering, obviously acquiescing to the answer.

"Brother Rong──" Ji Ran pouted, obviously dissatisfied with being left out, "You haven't told Ran'er who this person is!"

Bao Rong was crying with joy, but he was amused by Ji Ran's coquettish voice, "This man is my brother!"

"Brother Rong's brother..." Ji Ran frowned and thought for a while, then raised his head and looked at Xiao Yujue twice, then stretched his neck and kissed him on the cheek, and said cheerfully: "You are Brother Rong Brother Rong, then he is Ran'er's brother. Brother Rong is a good person, so Brother Rong's brother must also be a good person. Ran'er likes Brother Rong, and also likes Brother Rong's brother──"

Looking at the cute look of the child in her arms, Xiao Yujue couldn't help smiling, but the indelible sadness in her eyes grew stronger with age.

"Baorong, do you want to leave the palace with Brother Yujue?" He paused, and continued: "There are hidden dangers everywhere in this palace, and you are really not suitable for living here with your weak and scheming personality. ──”

"Don't—" Baorong refused resolutely, and his fierce tone calmed down only when he saw the melancholy in Xiao Yujue's eyes after speaking, "I want to stay here and be by his side. He promised me that when Ran'er When I grow up, I will pass the throne to him, and then take me to swim across the Yangtze River..." Speaking of this, his frail body trembled again, but there was already a look of hope in his eyes.

"You have really made up your mind, there is no room for change?"

"Hmm..." Baorong nodded.

"You have grown up and have the right to decide your own life. Since this is your decision, then I have nothing to say, but you must remember that in the palace, you must be careful and think twice before acting. Do you understand?"

"I remember!" Bao Rong seemed to have thought of something, raised his eyebrows suddenly, and asked, "By the way, where is Brother Chu Xi? Why didn't he come with you?"

"Oh, what are you talking about! He's fine, his madness is basically gone, and he's slowly remembering the past, but he's a little weaker. I'm afraid he won't be able to bear the bumps on the road, so I just I didn’t let him come, I thought I’d wait for him to take care of me for a while, and then I’ll let you guys meet again.”

"Hmm..." Bao Rong breathed a sigh of relief, and then turned his gaze into the distance, knowing that there were also two people walking towards the place where they were at this moment.

"Rong'er must be very happy now!" Xiao Yan walked along the edge of the lake, with Shi Luoying beside him with a calm face, "I should really thank God, if you didn't happen to be there that day because you were tired of collecting herbs and died." Asleep, then Xiao Yujue might really die!"

"Actually, I think it's destiny!" Shi Luoying said lightly, but after all, she couldn't hide the sadness in her eyes.

"God is destined, why do you believe in this stuff?" Xiao Yan said with some teasing in his tone.

"Oh, I don't know who said to thank God just now──"

Xiao Yan was taken aback, and when he heard him ridiculing himself, instead of getting angry, he laughed it off, and immediately asked a question that Shi Luoying could hardly answer.

"You once told me that you fell in love with someone, and that person──is Xiao Yujue, Baorong's elder brother!"

After a long time, Shi Luoying shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "Why, did you see it?"

"Hmph, if you can't even see this, how can I be your friend, Brother Shi?"

Shi Luoying sighed, "However, it's just that we have no destiny!"

"Then what are you going to do?"

"What are you going to do? Of course let go. He already has a sweetheart. I don't want to be a sinner who breaks up a lover! By the way, logically speaking, your father and Baorong's father are cousins, so There should also be blood relationship between you and those Xiao family brothers──ah, being born in the royal family is really the most miserable thing in life!"

Xiao Yan rolled his eyes at him, and said slightly angrily: "It's a good Mid-Autumn Festival night, you can't say something nice!"

"Okay, let's not talk about this---" Shi Luoying smiled leisurely, "By the way, I plan to leave here tomorrow!"

"Tomorrow? So soon, why don't you stay in the palace for a few more days?"

"No, it's boring in the palace. It's still the joy of my days of carefree wandering around the world. Maybe one day I'm lucky and hook up with a more handsome one──"

"No serious words!"

"Of course, I'm not the emperor, so it's useless to say such serious words!"

"Your Majesty──" Bao Rong was chatting with Xiao Yujue when he suddenly saw Xiao Yan walking towards him, and he was overjoyed for no reason, and Ji Ran ran over like a meat ball one step ahead of him, and was about to hug him with open arms .

"Father, look over there—" Ji Ran pointed to the two people who were walking this way, and shouted excitedly, "The person next to Brother Rong is Brother Rong's brother, he told Ran'er just now. ──So many stories!"

"Really?" Xiao Yan looked at
