Dianxia Qingcheng

In the past few days, the army of the Celestial Dynasty, which was retreating steadily, suddenly cheered up and took back two cities one after another under the hands of the fierce barbarians.

When the news reached the court, everyone was ecstatic, and several ministers burst into tears, saying that the destiny is like this, the Celestial Dynasty will never perish!

Only Pei Zheng seemed too calm amidst the celebratory sound, and even looked more dignified.

The 2 troops of the Celestial Dynasty were able to repel [-] barbarians and suffered heavy losses. This is by no means worthy of celebration.

In the prime minister's mansion, Li Yu happily ran to tell Qi Changyi the news. Qi Changyi was sitting on a stone bench in the back garden, teasing with a little black cat in his arms.

After hearing the news, Qi Changyi happily hugged the kitten and spun it around twice, scaring Li Yu into calling out, "Your Highness! Your Highness, don't turn around, don't fall!"

Qi Changyi put the kitten down, his stomach was already slightly swollen, and the entire Prime Minister's Mansion looked at him carefully every day, fearing that he would bump into him.

"Little Yuzi," Qi Changyi pulled Li Yu's arm, "Tell me, will Brother Pei come back earlier today?"

Speaking of which, Pei Zheng is busy with political affairs, and when he comes back late every day, Qi Changyi has already fallen asleep, and Qi Changyi is often still awake when he leaves in the morning, so Qi Changyi has not been able to talk to Pei Zheng for several days. talk.

Li Yu hesitated, "This, this"

In fact, he still has something to tell His Highness.

There was news from the palace that the emperor's health was deteriorating, and it seemed that he could not last long. Therefore, just this morning, an imperial decree announced the candidate for the crown prince in front of all the officials.

It was none other than the Fourth Prince Qi Changfeng.

Seeing Qi Changyi's eyes full of hope looking at him with a faint smile, Li Yu gritted his teeth and told the story about the fourth prince being made a prince.

Qi Changyi blinked her eyes, as if she didn't really care about it.

Li Yu said again, "Yes, my lord did his best to support His Royal Highness the fourth prince, and the emperor appointed the fourth prince because of this."

It's Brother Pei. Does Brother Pei want Brother Four to be the emperor?But brother Pei knew that not long ago, the fourth brother was disregarding his own safety because of the throne, so he almost died

Qi Changyi felt stuffy and uncomfortable, and slowly let go of Li Yu's hand, sat back on the stone bench, folded his arms and stared blankly into the distance.

Seeing His Highness's unhappy look, Li Yu immediately regretted telling His Highness these things, but even he, who was a bystander, felt that there was something wrong with the adults who were so busy recently.

After dinner, Pei Zheng still hasn't come back.

Qi Changyi lay on the bed by himself, staring blankly at the bed curtain above his head, the loss in his eyes could not be concealed, he clutched the quilt tightly, curled up in the quilt, closed his eyes and wanted to fall asleep quickly, because he wanted to Sleep well so your baby can rest well.

As the night gradually deepened, there was some noise from the door of the small building, and it was suddenly gently pushed open.

The little man on the bed was still not asleep. Hearing the footsteps of someone approaching, he became a little scared, opened his eyes wide and looked into the darkness, and asked aloud, "Small, Xiao Yuzi, is that you?"

The dark tall figure walked to the bedside, and the dim moonlight reflected the man's handsome chin.

"it's me."

With a low voice, Pei Zheng took off his robe with a raised hand, and went to bed.

Another hot body slid into the quilt. Pei Zheng thought that the little man had already fallen asleep, so he planned to hug him quietly for a while, but he didn't expect that just as soon as he lay down on the quilt, the warm, fragrant and soft body next to him The hot little body leaned over, clinging to his arm greedily, and a pair of arms wrapped around his waist.

"Brother Pei, why did you come back so late?"

"There is something in the palace," Pei Zheng said lightly, "Go to sleep."

Qi Changyi rubbed his small face against his arm, "Brother Pei, Brother Pei, Brother Pei"

Pei Zheng turned his body slightly, the heat in Qi Changyi's embrace suddenly moved away, and he immediately posted it again dissatisfied.

"Brother Pei, I, I am today"

"Shh." Pei Zheng didn't avoid it anymore, but stretched out his arms to wrap him in his arms, resting his chin on top of his head, not looking into his clear eyes.

"It's too late, I won't talk about it today, go to sleep, good boy."

Qi Changyi obediently didn't ask any more questions, no matter what Brother Pei did, he must have his reasons, and he should trust him.

"Okay, Brother Pei, take a good rest and have a good dream."

"Um"

Qi Changyi blinked at Pei Zhenghuai, waiting for his next words, but unfortunately there was no other movement above his head.

Qi Changyi pouted, well, brother Pei must be very tired, let him sleep well first.

They closed their eyes together, and breathed the familiar and pleasant smell of sandalwood, which made people feel at ease, and at the same time, became more infatuated and dependent.

Such a warm embrace, such an intimate distance, such a unparalleled person is his brother Pei.

Finally feeling sleepy, Qi Changyi fell asleep in Pei Zheng's arms.

I didn't know how long I slept, but I only knew that the sky outside was far from bright when someone knocked eagerly on the door of the small building.

"My lord! My lord!"

Li Yu was anxious to break in, but continued to knock on the door regardless. The urgency of the matter did not allow him to worry too much.

Finally, a gloomy and depressing voice came from inside, "Come in."

Li Yu pushed open the door and rushed in, knelt down straight, and knocked his head on the ground.

"My lord! Someone from the palace invited you into the palace, saying that it is the emperor, the emperor is about to die."

Pei Zheng sat up from the bed at once, took the robe next to him, put it on, and got up to leave.

The little man on the bed had also been woken up. Hearing Li Yu's words, his eyes immediately became moist. He got off the bed and almost fell down. Fortunately, Pei Zheng reached out and scooped it up. arms.

Pei Zheng carried him back to the bed, then turned and walked towards the door.

"Brother Pei!" The little man behind cried, "I, I want to go with you."

"No."

Pei Zheng's tone was a little serious, with a hint of incompatibility, "You wait here, and I will send someone to report back if there is news."

"Brother Pei" two lines of hot tears rolled down from the corners of Shui Yingying's eyes, "I, I want to go and see my father, can I beg you, take me with you?"

Look at the father"

Pei Zheng didn't say anything more, and went straight past Li Yu who was kneeling, and walked to the door. Before he could step out, he heard a weak crying that was suppressed. It should be because he was afraid of being heard, and the voice was always covered The quilt came out.

Weeping and sobbing one after another, like hot tears dripping into Pei Zheng's heart.

Li Yu felt a figure fold back beside him, and went back to the bed.

Qi Changyi was still sitting on the bed, pulled up the quilt to cover his head, and suddenly felt that the quilt was torn off, revealing a tear-stained little face.

Pei Zheng put a robe on the little man on the bed, picked him up, and walked out of the room steadily.

Sitting on the carriage to the palace, the little man in his arms was shaking all the time, and his tears couldn't stop as if breaking a bank.

Pei Zheng hugged him, stroked his hair from time to time, or hooked his little face and kissed him, but it still didn't work, the little man was still so sad that he couldn't control himself.

"Father, Father"

Qi Changyi's slender and thick eyelashes were covered with a series of teardrops, and they fell down in a blink of an eye. He murmured, "You don't have anything to do, you can't leave Yi'er."

Finally rushed to the palace, and rushed to the outside of the palace where the emperor lived.

In the middle of the night, the inside and outside of the bedroom were brightly lit, and the bluestone slabs outside were full of Wuyang Wuyang crowds, all the military officials of the dynasty were here.

The door of the bedroom just opened, and a person came out, it was Qi Changfeng who had just been made the prince.

"His Royal Highness, how is the emperor?" An official asked anxiously.

Qi Changfeng raised his eyes and shook his head. His eyes were red and his cuffs were clenched tightly. He saw Pei Zheng and Qi Changyi standing on the steps.

The little man was crying with tears in his eyes, and he looked very distressing.

Qi Changfeng walked up to him and said softly, "Chang Yi, I'm sorry"

Qi Changyi's tears suddenly flowed more violently, he turned his eyes away, he was reluctant to talk to Qi Changfeng again.

Qi Changfeng pursed his lips, "Father, I want to see you, so go in."

Pei Zheng took a look at the current Crown Prince, nodded slightly, and walked into the palace with Qi Changyi.

Passing through the screen curtain, we came to the inner hall. The emperor was lying weakly on the dragon couch, looking up at the top of his head, blinking his eyes very slowly, as if he exhausted his strength every time.

When Qi Changyi saw the person on the bed, unbearable sadness surged up uncontrollably. He lay down on the edge of the bed and knelt, holding the hand of the emperor, crying and shouting, "Father, father, I am Yi!" Son, look at me, I am Yier"

The emperor blinked his eyes twice again, as if he heard someone calling him, but his neck was already unable to move.

"Yi, Er yes, Yi Er, are you here?"

Qi Changyi held the emperor's hand and stroked his cheek, nodded desperately, "Yes, it's me, father, what's wrong with you, are you playing with Yi'er, get better soon, Don't scare Yi'er anymore, okay?"

All his tears fell onto the emperor's hand, soaking the old and thin back of his hand.

Pei Zheng supported him, hugged him and carried him to the side of the bed to sit.

The floor of this bedroom is so cold, his body will not be able to bear it after kneeling for a long time.

Seeing Pei Zheng, the emperor's eyes widened slightly, and his emotions became agitated. He opened his mouth for a long time, but he couldn't say a word smoothly, as if the words were backlogged in his throat.

Pei Zheng stood up straight, and saluted the emperor respectfully by the side of the bed.

He thought, he knew what the emperor was going to say.

"Don't worry, your majesty, since I have made an oath, I will definitely die."
