return to peace

"My lord, someone seems to be blocked by the city gate."

Chu Lingshang opened the window of the carriage, took a look from a distance, and saw a man wearing a bamboo hat and vaguely holding a child in his arms was stopped at the gate of the city, causing several ordinary people who were about to enter the city to be blocked behind him .

Strange, thought Chu Lingshang, Xiliang recruits wise men from all over the world, and it is rare for people to be blocked at the gate of the city with such thorns. Even if internal traitors and spies are found, they are all handled in secret.

He glanced again, he was still a little far away from the city gate, and he could only see the back of the man.Suddenly, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly got out of the carriage.

"Young master?" Lin Feng quickly supported him.

Chu Lingshang walked quickly to the gate of the city, Lin Feng showed the badge of the National Teacher's Mansion, and the two soldiers knelt down when they saw it. "Meet the Master of the National Teacher!"

Chen Lingshang glanced at the man beside him who was holding the child, and he was almost certain that it was Ji Fan.He suppressed the joy in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "Why stop him?"

The two little soldiers said obediently: "I don't know, I just have an order from above, saying that any man who sees this face will be stopped outside."

The man snorted coldly.The cold sweat of the soldiers immediately came down.

Chu Lingshang gave him a reassuring look, and after turning his mind a little, he knew who gave the order. "Don't stop him in the future. If anyone has any opinions, let him come to me directly."

"Yes." The two soldiers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, and their legs felt weak.

"Come with me." Chu Lingshang motioned for Lin Feng to take over the reins, and led the man into the carriage.The people behind him talked a lot, and they were very curious about the identity of the man.

After getting into the carriage, Ji Fan immediately took off his bamboo hat, revealing a somewhat haggard face.But it's been a long time since I saw him, and his facial features have become more profound, and he already has the appearance of an adult man.

Ji Fan checked the condition of the child in his arms first, and felt relieved when he saw that he was sleeping soundly.As soon as he raised his head, he met Chen Lingshang's affectionate gaze that he hadn't had time to look back.

His heart softened, he leaned over, kissed lightly, and gave Chen Lingshang an unexpected kiss.

The tips of Chu Lingshang's ears turned red in an instant, and Ji Fan couldn't help but chuckled.But in an instant, he remembered what happened when he was stopped at the city gate, and his face changed again.

"Chu Zexi did it." If he had only doubted before, now he is sure that Chu Zexi is targeting him, and the reason is Chu Lingshang.

Chu Lingshang didn't say a word, which was his tacit consent.Changing the subject, he asked, "Why didn't you wear a diaper this time?"

"I came out in a hurry, and I forgot to bring it." I didn't forget it at first, but Chen Jingxuan's sudden visit disturbed him a little, so he forgot.

Thinking of what happened just now, Ji Fan suddenly had a terrible thought, could it be that Chu Lingshang actually has interests in Chu Zexi?Chu Zexi lived by his side since he was a child, and he is more like his younger brother, Chu Lingshang, could it be that he actually mistook brotherhood for love?

"You", Ji Fan was a little scared, "Do you also like him?"

Chu Lingshang was startled. He actually knew that Ji Fan had noticed it, but at this moment, facing this cautious interrogation, he still pretended to be stupid: "Who are you talking about?"

"Ling Shang, you are as smart as you, you must know that Chu Zexi likes you, just like me."

The paper on the window was torn, and it couldn't be installed anymore.Chu Lingshang asked back: "Now, do you still want to ask me such a question?"

Ji Fan was stunned, he knew that asking such a question would hurt people, but the jealousy in his heart made him question, "" "Then did you make it clear to him? He has such hostility towards me, It's obviously because of you." He recalled the scene of Chu Lingshang and Chu Zexi sleeping together that day, which was a thorn in his side.

Chu Lingshang was silent again, and said for a long time: "In the past, he was too young, and I was afraid to say it too early, which would increase his obsession; now, he is the king and I am the minister, and I think that when he marries It's good to have a kiss."

Ji Fan felt a little disappointed: "Why are you kidding yourself?"

Chen Lingshang glanced at him, his face turned pale.In fact, he already had a faint feeling that less gathering and more separation, coupled with Chu Zexi's intervention, had already caused them some conflicts.He didn't know what to do.It wasn't that he didn't want to make it clear to Chu Zexi, but he was afraid that Chu Zexi's obsession would be too deep, and he would open the window paper, which would make them awkward.

At this time, the child in Ji Fan's arms let out a groan, opened its big round eyes, and looked curiously at the two people in the carriage.

"Whose child is this?"

"Fang Zhenhua's illegitimate son. Because of the treason, the Fang family ransacked and beheaded. This was brought to me by the youngest of the Fang family. I hope I can protect their family's innocent blood." Ji Fan handed the child to Chu Lingshang, and Chu Lingshang He caught it in a hurry, and the child babbled in his arms, grabbing at the hanging hair of Chu Lingshang, enjoying himself.

"Fang Zhenxu and I have known each other since we were young, and we have a deep relationship. Since I can't keep him, I will desperately want to keep the child he entrusted to me. After thinking about it, if I raise it in Chen Guo, it will inevitably show traces. The only way is to send it to you. This will keep him safe."

Chu Lingshang lowered his head to look at the child in his arms, which was carved in pink and jade, and couldn't help but think of Ji Fan's appearance just after he was delivered, that memory was so soft and pure.

"Don't worry, I will treat him well."

Ji Fan moved over, stretched out his hand to wrap him and the child in his arms, rubbed his hair, and said aggrievedly: "I don't really doubt you, I just... just really miss you. I Jealous of Chu Zexi, I can always be by your side. Last time on your birthday, I managed to find time to find you, but I saw...do you understand my mood at that time?" He used 12 points of determination at that time, That's why he didn't cut Chu Zexi with a single knife.

"sorry."

Ji Fan shook his head.

Chu Lingshang closed his eyes, leaned against Ji Fan's arms, and smelled the clear breath on his body. In fact, he wanted to say that he really missed him too.

Back in the mansion, Chu Lingshang hurriedly asked Lin Feng to find a nanny to carry the child down to nurse him.The people in the National Teacher's Mansion were carefully selected by Lin Feng one by one, and they knew exactly what to say and what not to say when there was a sudden addition of a child in the mansion.

Before Chu Lingshang was in the future and was reminiscing with Ji Fan, someone came from the palace, saying that the king had summoned him.Chu Lingshang was embarrassed, and looked at Ji Fan apologetically.

Ji Fan knew that in his heart, he was still inferior to his family, country and world.He forced a smile and said, "Go, come back early."

"sorry."

"You are here with me, you never have to say sorry to me."

"Okay. You wait for me to come back."

Ji Fan nodded.

At the end, Chu Lingshang still worriedly added: "You must wait for me to come back!"

Ji Fan squeezed out a smile: "Understood."

Only then did Chu Lingshang leave in peace.

Ji Fan looked at his back, the expression in his eyes became colder and colder.
