Chapter 22

? Huai Jun didn't sleep all night, his tired face reflected in the bronze mirror.He picked up the water from the washbasin with both hands and hit his face. The cool feeling made his head less drowsy, but it still couldn't drive away his restlessness.

Maybe it was sleepless all night, maybe Chen Pu didn't come back all night.

At Yinshi, a ray of light penetrated through the thick clouds, and Huai Jun changed into official clothes and stepped out of the bedroom.When he stepped into the front hall, he glanced at the dining table again. The food on it hadn't moved at all, but the aroma disappeared overnight. Huai Jun's nervous waiting last night was cooled down along with the food that was put on the table.

It was clear that they had agreed to meet in the evening, and that the problems between them could be resolved last night, but Chen Pu did not come back, and he watched over the cold food all night alone.

Chen Pu had never tried staying out all night, and why had they treated each other so indifferently before? Chen Pu was always angry, and it was only a matter of sunrise and sunset, why did things turn out like this?

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, interrupting Huai Jun's thoughts.He raised his head and looked outside the front hall. It was the blue figure, Chen Pu.

Chen Pu also stayed up all night. When he saw the food on the table and Huai Jun's tired and haggard appearance, his heart softened. After all, he was someone who had been with each other for so many years.

"My lord, yesterday I..." He just walked up to Huai Jun, and when he was about to explain, Huai Jun didn't look at him directly, and left. Chen Pu looked over from the side, and he could see Huai Jun's resolute face, and With his indifferent eyes, he knew that Huai Jun was angry, so he mustered up his courage and shouted: "Let's talk after the court."

Huai Jun's footsteps paused before continuing to move forward.He didn't know what Chen Pu was going to talk to him about, but he would rush back immediately because of Chen Pu's words.

Seeing that Huai Jun had left, Chen Pu called the maid to take away the food on the table, while he sat on the chair, exhausted all night, and relaxed about what had happened in the past few days.

He closed his sore eyes and gently rubbed his forehead with one hand, as if he was thinking about something, but his mind became blank due to exhaustion, and finally fell asleep.

In the dream, he walked forward all the way, and every step he took, he saw everything that happened with Huai Jun in the past. Huai Jun taught him to write, but he poured ink on Huai Jun's Chinese clothes; Huai Jun taught him to read, They sat in a corner of the book hall, Huai Jun read, and he came to listen; Huai Jun invited a gentleman to teach them how to play the flute, but Huai Jun stopped learning after a few days, just watching him...

Huai Jun, Huai Jun.

Rather than saying that he is walking in sleep, it is better to say that he is walking in memories, only Huaijun's memories.

All of a sudden, all the memories faded away, and he stood in the crimson, with several shrill screams echoing continuously.His whole body tensed up, subconsciously grabbing a warmth.

"If possible, take Huai Jun and leave."

He didn't know who said it.

"Hui Jun is not a good person, don't stay by his side."

And who said that?

"Chen Pu, you are a good person, but Brother Sanhuang is not a good person. If you can, stop following him." Finally, Min Luo appeared, and he picked off a pure white magnolia flower and handed it to Chen Pu.

Chen Pu took the flowers, and the nightmare quietly dissipated.

After being free, he opened his eyes and saw Huai Jun sitting next to him, and he was holding Huai Jun's hand tightly.

"Having a nightmare?" Huai Jun wiped off Chen Pu's cold sweat with his sleeve.

"En." Chen Pu nodded, but he couldn't remember that dream anymore, he only remembered that Ming Luo handed over the magnolia flower to his hand.

——Fourth prince, did I give you a magnolia flower yesterday, so you just give it back to me?Why are you giving it back to me?

At this time, Huai Jun let go of his hand, poured him a glass of water, and brought it in front of him: "Drink the water."

"Thank you." Chen Pu took the cup, raised his head and drank the water.The cool water brought his rationality back, he took a breath, and summoned up the courage to say, "I guarded the fourth prince last night, but I didn't come back. It's my fault to keep you waiting all night."

"You haven't slept all night, why don't you take a rest first?" Huai Jun asked gently.

Seeing him as gentle as before, Chen Pu couldn't help thinking in his heart - he loves me so much, I also have him in my heart, since we love each other, why do we have to fight so stiffly?

"I thought about it for a long time last night, and I have a few words to say." His cheeks flushed, a little shy.

"Okay, tell me." Huai Jun sat next to him, pinching his hem and saying.

"I'm really angry." Chen Pu scratched his head, and slowly said what was in his heart, "But why am I not wrong?"

"Pu'er?" A gleam of light flashed in Huai Jun's tired eyes, anticipating what Chen Pu would say next.

"Oh, I should think for you." He took Huai Jun's hand and held it tightly in his palm: "Maybe what you did was wrong, maybe I don't agree with those things, but why should I be angry? "

Huai Jun didn't respond in silence, but just shook Chen Pu's hand instead.

"Huaijun, I blame you, and I don't want to use any reason to justify you. It's just that you and I have been in love for so many years. Last night, I suddenly thought about it. Since I have you in my heart, I have to accept everything about you."

Chen Pu sat all night, from being disappointed with Huai Jun to envious of Min Luo, he finally figured out the matter.Instead of being envious of Yong Ting's deep love for Min Luo, why doesn't he also be as infatuated as Yong Ting?

After thinking about it, the cold war in the past few days is torturing each other, and it is impossible for him to leave Huaijun. It is better to take a step back, and it is worth it for the relationship between them.

Hearing this, Huai Jun's conscience that had been deliberately suppressed was revealed. From his guilt towards Min Luo, to his apology to Chen Pu, all these things that he had been thinking about poured out of the gap. .

"Pu'er, I lied to you, I shouldn't have lied to you." He said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, Pu'er, forgive me, forgive me."

"I forgive you."

After hearing this, Huai Jun cupped Chen Pu's face in a moment of emotion, and kissed affectionately on his hair and on his face one after another.Chen Pu blushed, but did not push him away.

After a long time, Huai Jun stopped and swore: "From now on, I will never lie to you."

Chen Pu nodded, but he was dubious about Huai Jun's promise. Nuo Xu's words came suddenly that day - he lied to you once, and there will be a second time - his smile was a bit bitter, but he persuaded himself - cheating Whether it's good or bad, it's enough for them to love each other to the end.

Seeing that Chen Pu didn't answer, Huai Jun said nervously, "There won't be a next time, I won't lie to you again."

"Understood." He muttered, in any case, as long as Huai Jun has him in his heart, that's enough.

But he couldn't help thinking of the magnolia flower that Min Luo gave him back, maybe it was for this reason that Min Luo was unwilling to accept it.However, his decision was eroded by guilt all night, he thought guiltily, he has only one wish in his life, that is to stay with Huai Jun for the rest of his life, and only then dare to part with Jun.

He is not a saint, he only has such a small wish.

——Fourth prince, you know that if you blame me, Chen Pu will pay you back the debt of this life even if he is a bully in his next life.

Thinking of this, he felt relieved from his heavy heart for the past few days. He sighed and leaned back in his chair, and said with a playful smile, "I'm hungry, and you haven't eaten, have you?"

"Not yet, and I didn't eat last night."

"I do not have either!"

"Then let's have lunch first." Huai Jun asked flatteringly, "Pu'er, do you want chicken soup?

"Okay! I like it the most." Chen Pu said cheerfully

"My favorite thing is to see you smile, just don't push the chicken soup back to me this time." He murmured.

Chen Pu smiled and asked, "What did you say?"

"No, anyway, the person I'm most afraid of now is you." After finishing speaking, Chen Pu laughed, and Huai Jun laughed along with him, and his heart that had been empty for the past few days was also filled.

"Ah Fu, pass on the meal." Huai Jun walked to the door, opened the door, and gave Ah Fu instructions. After finishing the order, he walked back to Chen Pu and flatteringly said, "After lunch, let's go to sleep."

"How do you sleep in broad daylight?" Chen Pu's face suddenly turned red again.

"I haven't slept all night, I'm tired now, or Pu'er wants to go somewhere else?" Suddenly, a series of footsteps disturbed the atmosphere at the moment, Huai Jun glanced at Chen Pu, and said, "Why did it come so quickly?" ?”

As soon as the words fell, a sharp voice came from outside: "The imperial decree has arrived, please accept the decree, King Yu!"

Huai Jun recognized that it was Eunuch Li's voice, although Chen Pu didn't recognize it, but his heart was pulled by the sharp hand, his joyful mood turned into anxiety, and he could only helplessly watch the voice coming from outside the door. The black shadow got closer, until the black shadow stretched out his hand and pushed the door open with a "click", he hurriedly got up from the chair, stood behind Huai Jun and knelt down after him.

A group of eunuchs boasted over the threshold, and it was Eunuch Li who took the lead.

He took the imperial decree and walked in front of Huai Jun, and the two looked up at the dragon on the yellow cloth, it seemed to be jumping, and it was about to leap out, oppressing their hearts, making Huai Jun uneasy and making Chen Pu breathless angry.

The hall suddenly became silent, only the voice of Eunuch Li was left, and the holy majesty in the distance completely attacked the two of them with this imperial decree: "By God's fate, the emperor said that the body of my dragon is not as good as before. The position of the crown prince has been vacant until now. In response to the future national fortune, the third son of the emperor, Yu Wang Huaijun, is now the crown prince, and he is prosperous. I understand that the third son of the emperor has just passed the crown ceremony, and his desire for drama is not yet determined. The daughter of the Dong family is specially selected as the crown prince. I hope that the two People support each other. Ten days later, the day of vassals will also be the time for concubines. I respect you." After speaking, Eunuch Li rolled up the imperial edict and handed it to Huai Jun.

Huai Jun opened his eyes wide, staring at the imperial decree in front of him, his heart fluttering.

Just after Zhilan got married, the Holy Majesty issued this imperial decree, asking him to marry a concubine and come back in ten days.Huai Jun understands that this is because Yong Ting can learn from the past, and the Holy Majesty does not want to repeat the same mistakes.But the holy decree was issued in such a hurry, is it to prevent problems before they happen, or,

——He knew of Chen Pu's existence?

He couldn't figure out why the crown prince fell into his hands so easily?Why not Nuo Xu?but him?The beautiful woman in the Huaqing Pavilion who took off her silk shoes and was dressed in blue appeared again in his mind.Dong's daughter, it turned out that it was not accidental that she entered the palace.

This imperial decree was not in his expectation, at least not at this time, it all came too suddenly, he didn't know how Chen Pu behind him would react, but would he take over the imperial decree?Can he not take it?If he accepted it, he would be close to that position. The wish he made in front of Concubine Jun and under the Buddha that day was that eternal position!He borrowed Zhilan's hand to pull down Yong Ting, also for the dragon chair!

It's just that he took it, what will happen to Chen Pu?

Huai Jun can't think of anything, but he can't stop his ambition from expanding uncontrollably.

"King Yu, please accept the order." Eunuch Li urged.

Only then did Chen Pu raise his head and look at Huai Jun's straight back.

Huai Jun was still struggling in his heart, he knew that Chen Pu would not accept it, but if he didn't accept it, would His Majesty let them go?Won't!A fear welled up in his heart, he knew that His Majesty would only ruthlessly eradicate Chen Pu.That day the Holy One didn't even show mercy to Min Luo, let alone Chen Pu!

He can't watch Chen Pu get hurt, and can't be separated from Chen Pu, he should take it.

pick it up.

Reach out and take it.

"My son obeys the order." He reached out and took it.

At that moment, Chen Pu watched Huai Jun stretch out his hand and took the imperial decree with his own eyes.His heart also collapsed in an instant, the jade pendant on his chest seemed to be broken into pieces, but his knees could only kneel on the ground stiffly.The person who has been with him for so many years, the person who loves him over and over again, now accepts the engagement openly in front of him!

——But Chen Pu, Chen Pu, how can you prevent him from taking this imperial decree?You can't give him what he wants. Now that people have delivered it with both hands, why do you stop him?

——It’s just that you gave in so much to get to Huaijun, why did the person you tried to keep still leave?

After Huai Jun received the imperial edict, Eunuch Li led the eunuchs away, and it was not until their figures disappeared that Huai Jun immediately stepped forward and closed the door.

Seeing his cautious behavior, Chen Pu couldn't help sneering from the bottom of his heart. Laughing at him was also laughing at himself. Sure enough, their love is not necessarily in the light.At the same time, he slapped away Huai Jun's hand that was going to help him up, stood up alone, took two steps back, and looked at Huai Jun in disappointment.

Huai Jun was still holding the imperial decree in his hand, so he could only stare at Chen Pu melancholy. Unexpectedly, the two who had just reconciled had another imperial decree to separate them.

"Pu'er," Huai Jun couldn't bear the silence, and spoke first: "Listen to my explanation."

"Okay, you explain." Chen Pu didn't get angry, but looked disappointed.

"I can't resist, Pu'er, I can't make you the second Ming Luo." Huai Jun's hands trembled, but Chen Pu couldn't detect the weakness in his words.

He shook his head: "Huaijun, you missed another reason."

"You said just now that you would accept what I did, I just..." Huai Jun explained in a panic.

Chen Pu interrupted him all of a sudden: "Yes, you want power, who doesn't care about power? I have no right to blame you, and I won't blame you."

"It's not like that." Huai Jun was powerless to explain, and his tone raised: "That's not what I meant!"

"My lord, you always want to marry a wife. I have been deceiving myself all this time, so I don't blame you." Chen Pu smiled sadly on his pale face, "But I can always be sad, right?"

"Pu'er!" Huai Jun grabbed Chen Pu's shoulders and shouted, "I won't fall in love with her!"

"It's enough for you to betray me once. You accepted the marriage contract. How can you fail her again?" He paused and said in a daze, "What am I talking about? Why am I speaking for that woman?"

"I'm for your own good, I don't love her, I only love..."

"Don't say it." Chen Pu stopped him suddenly, "Aren't you worried about me? Aren't you afraid that walls have ears? If you can't say it, I'll pretend I've never heard of it."

Huai Jun looked at Chen Pu in astonishment, and after realizing it, he said repeatedly: "Don't do this, Pu'er, you should understand..."

Chen Pu couldn't restrain his excitement, and interrupted him sharply: "Then do you understand me? I'd rather you resist the decree, and even if I die, I don't want to watch you accept the decree!" His chest heaved violently, panting , he looked at Huai Jun sadly, and said, "Hui Jun, you said you didn't love her, but she was the one you married and stayed with you all your life."

He remembered that Yong Ting was determined not to let go of Min Luo's hand that day, and he used such deep affection, so he tried to play Yong Ting's infatuation, but it turned out that the play could not be sung alone, nor could it be sung by only two people. I don't know who to hate.

Although he said that he didn't blame Huai Jun, they all knew that he was duplicity. How could he not blame him if he watched his lover betray their feelings?

"Pu'er, I can't let you get hurt." Huai Jun said seriously.

"Forget it, Huai Jun, no matter what, you will still take over the imperial decree in order to become the crown prince."

"Why don't you believe me? Even if I am the crown prince, can't I be for you?"

"For me?" Chen Pu shook his hand back and said forcefully, "Then let's leave here, we can go to Yangzhou, wherever we want."

However, Huai Jun was silent.He thought sadly that the crown prince he wanted was right in front of him, within reach, and he couldn't give it up.Why can't Chen Pu stay by his side while gaining power?Why did Chen Pu force him to make a choice?Since he was born in the imperial family, how could he give up all of this, young and ambitious, how could he be willing to be an ordinary person among the people?But since he met Chen Pu, how could he let Chen Pu go?

Chen Pu let go of Huai Jun's hand, brushed his shoulder, opened the door without hesitation, and left without looking back.

In less than a moment, the palace maids brought the food, thinking happily that Huai Jun should have reconciled with Chen Pu, and they don't have to be wronged anymore.However, when they came in, they did not see Chen Pu, only Huai Jun stood there blankly, holding the imperial decree in one hand.

The smell of chicken soup drifted towards Huai Jun. Huai Jun turned around, saw the food served by the maids, and remembered the short time when they reconciled. Originally, he thought he could pick up ginseng for Chen Pu again. Looking happy to drink soup.But it turned out like this again.

With a big wave of his hand, he hit the food that the maids were holding on the ground, and erupted his suppressed emotions on them.

"Get out!"?
