Prince is a slave

There is no longer a fake smile on his face, and his pale golden eyebrows are even slightly furrowed, showing a bit of humanity.

"..." Su Yue stared at his face for a while, and he had to admit that Yi Luojia was really good-looking. He was not only handsome, but he didn't have that youthful, superficial aura at all. Mature and restrained, he knows how to hide his too sharp edge.

Su Yue finally decided not to wake him up, tiptoedly lifted the quilt, and planned to get out of bed quietly.But within two steps, the pair of arms that had been separated by him climbed up again, wrapped around his waist, and closed them.

"Where to go?"

Yi Luojia asked lazily behind him, his voice was waxy and soft, with a hint of sleepiness.

"I'm hungry and want to eat." Su Yue said angrily.

"Don't go, sleep with me for a while." The man made trouble out of no reason, put his chin against Su Yue's shoulder, brought him into his arms, and pressed his warm breath behind his ear, "Lie down."

"You don't have to go to court today?"

"No." After a pause, he added, "I want to mourn for Yi Xin, and I don't have to go to the palace for three days."

"Then you still have to let me go, Ping Xijue, I can't breathe anymore." Su Yue frowned.

"No."

Su Yue sighed helplessly: "Let go, don't be stupid, do you think we are really lovers?"

"No, but we are in a master-servant relationship." Yi Luojia said casually, bringing his nose to Su Yue's neck and sniffing lightly, "Come with me, this is not a request, but an order."

Su Yue frowned: "Can you stop being so childish?"

"Why can't you say that I am still a child at heart?"

"Okay." Su Yue snorted through his nose, "Then congratulations, you have rejuvenated."

The two were stumbling in the room, but there was a sudden knock on the door at this moment, Cuiniang's beautiful figure was dimly reflected on the door, she stood sideways, and shouted to the inside: "My lord, get up!" Yet?"

Yi Luojia looked at the door in confusion, as if she didn't know what she was looking for in a hurry at this time, so she raised her voice and asked, "What's the matter?"

"The commander-in-chief, General Lin, is waiting in the lobby to see you."

"...Lin Ruizhe? What is he doing here?"

Both Su Yue and Yi Luojia were startled and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The lobby of Pingxi Jue Mansion is bright and spacious, from the golden peonies carefully carved on the stone pillars, the thick cashmere cushions on the red sandalwood chairs, to the lavender gauze lamps flowing with crystal and delicate brilliance, and the white jade chessboard placed on the warm spring stools style, the owner's taste can be seen everywhere--

Iroca is a man who knows how to enjoy himself in a timely manner.

The huge plaque bestowed by the king hangs in the hall, and it says "God Bless the Master Wang". Yi Tao's calligraphy is handsome, but reveals a faint majesty. shadow.

Lin Ruizhe was standing under the shadow of the Panlong, with his face slightly tilted, wondering what he was thinking.

"Commander Lin." Yi Luojia walked towards him, smiling slightly, "I didn't know that your honor was coming, so I didn't welcome you from afar. I'm sorry."

"No, I came here suddenly and bothered you."

Yi Luojia continued to smile: "Where, you made the humble house flourish."

Lin Ruizhe said, "I'm here... I actually want to give you something."

Iroca raised his eyebrows and looked at him questioningly.

Lin Ruizhe seemed to feel guilty for letting Iloka kneel down in front of him before, and he was not very willing to make eye contact with Iloka. He chose to lower his head, and gropingly took out a small golden silk nanmu The box was handed to Iroka: "This is for you."

Yi Luojia didn't answer, and there was an elusive color in the dark blue eyes: "...What is this?"

After a short silence, Lin Ruizhe took a deep breath, his thick black eyelashes still drooping, then he seemed to have decided to go all out, and whispered extremely fast: "... Yi Xin's ashes."

The shadow of the Panlong loomed over them, and the comfortable and warm lobby was terribly cold at this moment, as if countless venomous snakes were crawling past, hissing and spitting out thin red letters.

Yi Luojia stared at the golden nanmu box for a long time, and then his gaze finally fell on Lin Ruizhe's face. The man's wheat-colored skin, attractive lips, and black eyes all looked so strange.Yi Luojia narrowed his eyes and said softly: "... Lin Ruizhe, do you know that this is a capital offense?"

Article 430 of the Elbe Law: Those who are sentenced to death must be thrown out of the body, and if anyone dares to collect it, they will be executed.

Lin Ruizhe pursed his lips, stuffed the nanmu box into Yi Luojia's somewhat stiff palm, wrapped his fingers together, and let him hold the box tightly.

"I know." He still didn't look at Iroka's glasses, and said to himself, "but I know more about the feeling of losing...uh, losing someone I like. I think you...you don't want him to be thrown into the wilderness, Like I don't want to see Shawna burned beyond recognition. It hurts. Really hurts."

Iroka stood there stiffly, as if he had never seen this person before.

Lin Ruizhe said softly, "You won't betray me, will you?"

"..."

Lin Ruizhe let out a sigh of relief: "Ping Xijue, I really didn't mean to embarrass you that day in Yirenlou, but by the king's order, I was more anxious to catch the criminal who killed my brother, so I..."

He paused and said slowly, "You remember hating me, don't you?"

Yi Luojia closed his glasses and felt the blood vessels in his forehead throbbing. It was difficult for him to express his feelings clearly. He really didn't like Lin Ruizhe, but Yi Xin's ashes were in his hands, and he wanted him to say no. , he couldn't do it.

In the end, he said in a low and peaceful voice, "...Thank you."

"..." Lin Ruizhe shook his head, "That's okay, I'll go first."

As he spoke, he walked out the door. Iroka wanted to see him off, but he waved his hand to let Iroka go back.Iroka watched his back disappear into the corner of the courtyard, and finally frowned deeply——

People like him who are so deliberate and do everything, no matter whether it is necessary or not, will be hypocritical, and who are afraid of being seen through their sincerity, can't see through a guy like Lin Ruizhe.

When fierce, he is cruel and ruthless, and his blood is still alive.

In order to avenge his brother, Neng did not hesitate to send Ping Xijue's younger brother to the execution platform.

However, he still remembered the warmth and coldness of human relations. In order to fulfill Yi Luojia's deep brotherhood, he risked being beheaded and sent Yi Xin's ashes back to Yi Luojia.

Very contradictory character.But it's all true.

But Yi Luojia had put on a mask for the rest of his life, and he couldn't understand a real person.

In fact, Lin Ruizhe didn't have a good impression of Yi Luojia, he just felt that he owed Yi Luojia something, and he felt guilty, and he knew the pain of losing his lover——

Xiao Na was burned to the point where only charred bones remained.

His brother and sister who died in Shang Kingdom.

...Father and mother who died of cold and starvation.

He has experienced it so many times that he will never forget this feeling.

That's why he went against the king's will, secretly cremated Yi Xin's body, and sent him back to his elder brother.

When he left the Pingxi Palace, he passed a long corridor, and under the eaves of the corridor hung tiny octagonal copper bells, which jingled when the wind blew.

He met Su Yue in this corridor.

Su Yue obviously didn't expect the two to meet each other under such circumstances, he opened his eyes slightly, and stood there stunned.

"you……"

"..." Lin Ruizhe's eyes turned around him several times, from the soapy white scarf that tied his hair, to the comfortable robe on his body, the white velvet fur coat to keep out the cold, and even the silk shoes on his feet.

His eyes gradually turned cold as he looked back and forth, and finally he became the cold wooden general again. He turned his eyes back and snorted coldly.

He didn't look at Su Yue again, and walked straight past him. When he passed him shoulder to shoulder, he said meanly and indifferently: "Your Highness, although you can earn men to support you by relying on your body, But it’s better not to live happily ever after, you should know very well the consequences of selling your appearance and selling your flesh for glory.”

His words were like a nail, viciously nailing Su Yue, he froze in place suddenly, his fingers pinched into his palm, but he didn't turn his head to look at Lin Ruizhe's back.Su Yue was just standing in the corridor by himself in a daze, the wind slapped the copper bell, and bursts of broken sounds rushed through his chest, the wound on his heart that was stabbed with a sword began to hurt faintly again, and the dark blue blood was smudged Under the skin, a cold humiliation grew.

19. The expedition...

Iroca is a very perfect lover, gentle, calm, and occasionally has a little temper that doesn't matter.

But he has a fatal flaw, that is, he is not Lin Ruizhe.

Su Yue is a very reasonable person, once he has identified someone, it is impossible to look back.When he was very young, he used to think that briquettes were edible cakes, and he refused to give in to the facts. In order to prove that he was right, he chose to swallow black coke coals into his throat.

As a result, the imperial physician was almost exhausted by his torture.

In fact, Su Yue was very stupid. He knew that he had gone astray, but no matter what, he didn't want to repent or admit it.

Even if he died on that road, he would not lower his self-esteem and bow his head to face his mistakes.

Therefore, even though he was humiliated by Lin Ruizhe, Su Yue still couldn't forget the boy who rescued him at Wangtian Cliff. He walked out of the pool with his trousers rolled up, revealing half of his fair legs. The eyes reflected the skylight and cloud shadows, and gently chiseled two shallow smile marks.

He knew that the current General Elbe could no longer be the boy who picked medicine in the suburbs of the Shang Kingdom.

but so what
