Dianxia Qingcheng

Jiang Yu left the room with a pale face and red ears.

Pei Zheng hugged the little man to bed, lowered the curtain, slowly, rubbing his ears and temples together, and when the man's eyes were dim and his body was soft, he helped him turn over and let him lie on his chest.

Carefully avoiding his slightly protruding belly, one hand gently touched the delicate and smooth skin, and one big palm could almost wrap the small mountain bag.

With such a small body, there is another smaller bun hidden inside, which is his treasure, his heart, and he wants to protect it with the apex of his heart.

"Um"

The little man whimpered unconsciously, and Pei Zheng kissed his heart.

"uncomfortable?"

The little man nodded, it seemed that sadness was about to come up again, and the corners of his eyes were drooping, unable to speak.

"Good boy," Pei Zheng moved slowly, "I'll feel comfortable soon."

Two times in a row, the little man was exhausted, and now he didn't care about thinking about other things, and fell asleep halfway on his stomach.

Pei Zheng turned his body around, covered him tightly from head to toe with the quilt, and then got out of bed with his clothes on.

The palace is already in chaos. If it weren't for worrying about the villain, Pei Zheng shouldn't have left even a single step.

Kissing the blushing little face, Pei Zheng turned and walked out the door

It was getting late, and the little figure on the bed moved a little, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a gray, and the quilt beside him had already turned cold, and at that moment, he felt a sense of loneliness and anxiety of being abandoned by the world.

Qi Changyi's voice was weak, "Brother Pei"

No one answered.

The red eyes immediately became moist.

There was a knock on the door, and it was Li Yu who pushed the door open and entered.

"Your Highness, my lord has entered the palace. Before I left, I ordered you to eat something after waking up, and then you have to take the medicine."

After a while, I heard the person on the bed whisper "Yes".

Li Yu went over to help him up.

The quilt slipped off, and there were some red marks on her smooth and fair skin.

Li Yu turned his head to the side and helped him put on his clothes neatly, but saw another teardrop falling from the little man's cheek.

I couldn't help feeling a pang of distress in my heart, how could God be so cruel, causing His Highness to lose two loved ones one after another.

"Your Highness, don't be too sad. Your Majesty's health hasn't improved after so long. Maybe it's a relief to do this now. If your Majesty knows that you have broken your body due to excessive sadness, he will definitely feel distressed."

Qi Changyi raised his sleeves to wipe away his tears, and nodded obediently, "Little, Xiao Yuzi, then I won't cry, Father, Father said, look

He will be sadder than me when I cry, so I can't cry anymore"

But having said that, those crystal clear teardrops will still roll down in clusters.

Although he didn't have much appetite, Qi Changyi still ate something, and then swallowed up the soup by himself, but his body reacted again, and he retched a few times, but luckily he didn't spit out anything.

In the next few days, Qi Changyi did not enter the palace again, and stayed in the prime minister's residence all day long.

Originally, he had been unhappy for a long time after Shen Huan's death, but at that time, with Pei Zheng by his side, no matter how hard he worked, he finally came out.

But now he is often the only one sitting in the empty back garden, unwilling to laugh or talk much.

The funeral in the palace lasted seven days and cost a lot of money. If it weren't for the current national distress, the ceremony should have lasted a full 27 days.

As soon as the former emperor's body was buried, the new emperor would ascend the throne immediately.

The reason for such intensive preparations is that at this moment, the barbarian army is only a few cities away from the imperial capital.

The two cities that were recaptured at the beginning were not able to hold on for a few days, but they were reoccupied by the extremely ferocious barbarians.

All the troops of the entire Celestial Dynasty were concentrated in the few remaining cities. Perhaps because they were forced to such a point, many soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty had the morale of breaking the boat, and they just resisted the barbarians. The attack, several cities did not fall again.

Tens of thousands of elite soldiers are stationed outside the imperial capital, guarding the century-old city, and waiting for the enemy to attack and fight to the death.

Jiang Yubai had already resigned from his official position. He had long been reluctant to stay in the palace, and the new emperor did not stop him.

He simply lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion temporarily so that he could take care of His Highness more conveniently.

Seeing that His Royal Highness was depressed all day long, and his body was not as plump as the pregnant people of other families, but a little thinner, Jiang Yubai saw it in his eyes and felt anxious.

But no matter how much he and Li Yu persuaded him, the little Highness couldn't eat even one more bite.

The few times when Pei Zheng came back to eat together, he fed the little highness an extra bowl of rice.

Jiang Yubai couldn't figure out why Pei Zheng was so busy, and there were so many ministers in the palace. He was the only one who was close to the new emperor, and he was the irreplaceable right-hand man of the new emperor?

But every time he asked Pei Zheng about this in private, Pei Zheng always avoided talking about it, and looked at Jiang Yubai indifferently as if he were looking at a stranger.

Jiang Yubai couldn't stand him like this, and often scolded him behind his back.

A few days later, Jiang Yubai received a letter from his family. He had cut off all ties with the Jiang family, but the city where the Jiang family was located was occupied by barbarians. The letter said that his grandmother was seriously ill and was about to die. , asking him to go home for treatment.

At that time, Jiang Yubai was decocting medicine for Qi Changyi, and after reading the letter, his hands were suddenly burned.

The Jiang family can be considered a well-known family, with dozens of members in the family, but Jiang Yubai's mother is the closest person to Jiang Yubai. He was so flustered that he took the medicine bowl with trembling hands.

Bringing the medicine to Qi Changyi, watching him obediently frowning and taking the medicine away, Jiang Yubai said that he was going to leave temporarily.

After hearing this, Qi Changyi grabbed his sleeve, "Brother Yubai, are you leaving too?"

Jiang Yubai patted the back of his hand, "I'm just going home, and I'll come back when things are done."

Qi Changyi's eyes were red, and he was unwilling to let go of him, "Isn't it very dangerous outside? You, you left, will you really come back? What if you don't come back, I don't want you to go away"

Lost too much, only a little warmth, I want to hold it firmly in the palm of my hand and never let go.

"He will come back," a voice came from behind, riding the wind, "Your Highness, I will bring him back safely."

Qi Changyi sent Jiang Yubai and Chengfeng all the way to the gate of Xiangfu. Not only Chengfeng escorted them, but also Xiangfu's guards followed. Although Pei Zheng didn't come, Jiang Yubai knew that it was Pei Zheng. ordered.

At least he knows how to thank himself for not taking care of His Highness for so long for him in vain.

It just so happened that there was a procession passing by the gate of Xiangfu, blowing trumpets and beating gongs and drums. Everyone was dressed in festive red clothes, and behind them were carrying a big red sedan chair.

"This is someone who is getting married," Jiang Yubai looked at the sedan chair, as if he was infected by the joy, "That's great, another new couple."

Pedestrians who were originally on the street also consciously gave way to the road, followed by standing on the side of the road watching, smiling, everyone's face was clearly filled with happiness, but it always gave people a feeling of brokenness that was exhausted but was about to die. feeling.

No one knows when the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed. Before the irreversible death comes, one must hug the one he loves more intimately.

Jiang Yubai turned around and hugged Qi Changyi, letting him stay in the house with peace of mind, then got into the carriage and left without looking back.

Qi Changyi stood at the gate of Xiangfu, and he could still see the delightful red color in front of his eyes, but his vision gradually became blurred.

In the evening, Qi Changyi finished his dinner by himself and went back to the bed in the small building to lie down. When he was about to sleep, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.

He got up by himself, got dressed, and came to Pei Zheng's study.

It was already late at night, and the study room was quiet and empty.

Qi Changyi didn't light the candlestick, and walked to the desk where Pei Zheng often sat in the dark, which was full of memorials and military reports.

He lay on the desk, looking at the bright moon and the starry river outside the window, thinking in his heart, when will Brother Pei come back?

After thinking about it, he slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Until the middle of the night, Pei Zheng returned to the house without anyone following him, and went to the study by himself to deal with some more things.

Pushing open the door, he noticed that there was someone in the room.

Walking to the desk and looking, a small figure was lying on it, sleeping soundly, with a soft little face pressed against an important piece of information.

Pei Zheng squatted down beside the desk, looking at the shallow-breathing kitten-like little man, his long eyelashes cast a lovely shadow, his ruddy lips were slightly parted, and there was a sparkle around his lips. The alluring silk.

Stretched out a finger to wipe his lips, and wiped away the warmth and moisture, the slippery softness under the fingertips made one unbearable to hold back.

Pei Zheng stood up, supported his back with one hand, grabbed his leg with the other hand, hugged him horizontally, and then frowned.

It should be the weight of two people, why is it still so light?

Walking out of the study with the person in his arms, the little person in his arms seemed to wake up slowly, his long eyelashes trembled, and he opened his eyes.

"Brother Pei, you're back"

Pei Zheng gave a light "um" and said, "Go back to sleep."

Qi Changyi put his arms around his neck, and rubbed his face on his chin, "Brother Pei, I don't want to go back, can I stay with you here? I will be good and won't disturb you .”

Pei Zheng kept walking out, "No."

There are only two cold words.

Qi Changyi's eyes wet with grievance all of a sudden, "Brother Pei, you haven't hugged me for a few days, don't you miss me?"

As soon as the tears fell, he couldn't hold back. He could feel that brother Pei had alienated him, did he not like him anymore?

Pei Zheng stopped by the door. After a while, he sighed and kicked the door shut, then walked back.

Put the little man on the desk and sit down, it doesn't matter what memorial or military newspaper is on it.

She hooked his chin to make him look up at herself, and kissed those tearful eyes.

"Okay, stop crying."
