The third year after the death of the emperor

Xie Wen was in pain, and intermittently resurfaced what she had said before.He seems to have confirmed to himself that Xiao Jiu is the only person who can change everything in this world, no one is born with such extremes, he will teach a wise gentleman... He said a lot of words that do not distinguish between right and wrong, and deceive oneself and others.

He deviated from the whole world and all the original stories, and chose Xiao Xuanqian.

He is too conceited, always calling himself an outsider, thinking that he can teach a wise and good emperor... the result is nothing but a failed hero.The true love and the love of many years were all trampled under their feet, and they planned and calculated day and night, discussing the long-term for it, and finally had to lose a game of chess.

Not even a little respect.

During the most difficult time, Xiao Xuanqian leaned close to his ear, repeating that sentence obsessively.This joy/love does not seem to be for lust/desire, but for the little emperor to swear some kind of sovereignty and get some kind of reassuring result... Xiao Jiu seems to feel that as long as Xie Wen has nothing but herself, she will be completely The bottom belongs to him.

But these methods, these censures, just made Xie Wen discouraged again and again, and accumulated enough disappointment.

Xiao Xuanqian had never been taught what it was like to admire someone.

Because of that experience, Xie Wen had very serious sequelae. No matter how restrained he was and how much he concealed it, he couldn't subconsciously dodge and hide himself.Just like he can't trust Xiao Xuanqian now, even if the little emperor is so affectionate and docile, how can he know that this is not a warning before the next turnaround?

In the middle of the night, Xie Wen dreamed about this scene again.It was difficult for him to fall asleep in the first place, and the pain in his memories seemed to still be on his body. When he woke up and saw Xiao Xuanqian's face, he couldn't help but his breath stagnated, and it took him a while to recover.

"Remember again?" Tongtong asked.

"Ah."

"I advise you this way, but you can't be really cold-hearted towards Xiao Jiu. You got injured all these years because of him. When you were in the Peony Pavilion, which lady would not say that you are a jade carving person, and that you are a gentleman. But The Dog Emperor insists on smashing you to see if the inside of the core is as clear as ice—is he still a human being?"

Xie Wen moved the other party's arm around her waist a little, turned over, and said to Tong Tong: "He is not a human being, am I teaching him to be a dog?"

"Zhi En Tu Bao is a dog, he is nothing more than an unfamiliar wolf cub." Tong Tong said with disgust, "I might bite you at any time, do you think he has some hobbies, so he doesn't leave you alone?" Can't it be hardened if you touch it? Huaiyu..."

"It's too noisy." Xie Wen sighed, "We'll talk about it at dawn."

Tongtong breathed a sigh of relief, held back in displeasure, and muttered again: "I don't know why you like him..."

Xie Wen didn't respond, he was quiet for a while, and then slowly fell asleep again.Behind him, another person's hand seemed to wait for his breathing to stabilize before raising it. He carefully covered him with the quilt again, as if he wanted to touch him, but he was not very daring, so he only caressed him lightly for a while. The teacher's soft hair.

Xiao Xuanqian woke up when Xie Wen turned around, but he didn't move or make a sound.During the three years when the other party was away, he did not know how many times he woke up from nightmares, and there was no one around... So often in the dead of night, Xiao Xuanqian sometimes figured it out and sometimes couldn't figure it out: he was covered in thorns all over his body. It will make Xie Huaiyu suffer more injuries and get farther and farther away from him, but this kind of awakening is often only a moment... When he really sees this person, Xiao Xuanqian will still desperately and unscrupulously keep him.

----

At daybreak, Xiao Xuanqian changed his clothes and faced forward, unable to bear the torment of his heart, he lowered his eyebrows and kissed him lightly, a kiss landed on his cheek.

Xie Wen's eyelash feathers moved, but she didn't wake up.

The little emperor has experienced this blank three years, learned enough lessons, and regarded his teacher as a fragile glass crystal person. Coupled with the incident a few days ago, he felt that Xie Wen was very fragile and did not dare to make him angry. , so he just looked at him for a moment, then left Cui Sheng and his personal guards beside Xie Wen, and left quietly.

Cui Sheng stayed in the palace to serve Xie Wen. As soon as Wen Cheng's rebellion happened, Cui Sheng searched all the inner officials and palace personnel who were serving him closely overnight. He checked all the correspondence and family details. The people who are serving here now , are all credible people.

Xiao Xuanqian walked for about a quarter of an hour, and Xie Wen woke up.There is a dull pain in his head, which sometimes occurs even after he has rested enough.All these years of wasting mind, planning and planning, the retribution really came to him, and he became sick from overwork.After he washed and changed his clothes, and took care of everything, he remembered what he asked last night - Jian Fengzhi and Shen Yuexiao were together.

Xie Wen took off the anklet worn by the little emperor so that it would not be covered with decorations like an Israeli servant's object.Then he looked at the silent Cui Sheng and said, "Cui Neiguan."

"I don't dare." Cui Sheng bowed and bowed his head, and replied, "Your order."

"It's like this." Xie Wen narrated, "Xiao Jiu told me last night that I can supervise the errands of Master Xiao Shen. He is a scribe, and I am afraid that he is not dedicated to raising horses. I just happen to be bored and fine, so I want to go. Look at him."

Cui Sheng looked hesitant, thinking that His Majesty had never given such an order, hesitantly said: "Thank you, sir..."

"Did Xiao Xuanqian tell you not to let me go out?"

Cui Sheng did not dare to agree: "There is absolutely no such thing."

"Okay. I thought he treated me like a canary and raised a plaything for fun." Xie Wen looked at him and said, "Could it be that he told me the truth and still restricted my freedom of movement?"

As he spoke, he showed a somewhat sad expression.Cui Shengdeng's nose was sweating immediately, and he was so anxious that he didn't know what to say to comfort him: "Master Xie, why do you think so? Your Majesty's harem is empty, and there is not even a concubine. It's all because of you, my lord."

Xie Wen's heart skipped a beat, slightly astonished.

Cui Shengdao: "This old slave has been serving His Majesty for a long time. Although I dare not speculate on what I want, I can still see some clues. Although the Son of Heaven doesn't say anything, he only cares about you. From the Palace, the East Palace, to the Dragon Throne , he doesn't even have anyone around him to relieve his loneliness."

"..." Xie Wen was speechless for a moment, then laughed in a low voice, "If he doesn't clean himself up, he will disgust me even more."

Cui Sheng hated himself for having ears to hear this.As soon as he raised his head, he met Xie Wen's eyes that were as clear as spring water. He couldn't bear this kind of gaze that was not intimidating, but had full weight. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The old slave will go with you."

As soon as the words fell, Cui Sheng called his cronies to tell His Majesty to go down.After that, he served closely and put on the cloak for the emperor, and then accompanied Xie Wen to the apse.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, every day is cold.There is only this place for raising horses in the palace, where His Majesty's Xiao Fei trains.The name of this steed is exactly the opposite of the name of the white cat in the temple. Chi Yu Xiao Fei Lian was originally used to describe a cat, but it was used on a fierce horse, while Zhao Ye Yu Lion was originally a synonym for a god horse, and was regarded as Nicknames for kittens.

Xiaofei's whole body is snow-white, without a single hair on his body.It is tall, strong and unruly.Although this horse was not a gift from Xie Wen, when it was in Xiao Xuanqian's hands, Xie Wen helped to choose it.The friendship between the two is so deep, and the traces of each other have already penetrated and merged deeply. Even if they have been away for three years and are no longer in front of them, every moment of these thousand days and nights is inseparable and inseparable.

When Xie Wen arrived, Xiao Feilian stood with his head held high, while Mr. Xiao Shen sat down on the edge of the open space outside the circle, moved a small stool, and spoke eloquently, beaming with delight.Jian Fengzhi sat across from him with his chin in his hand, and was stunned for a while, asking blankly for a while, "It's so?", and then shocked, "It's still like this!"

Xie Wen stopped, and Cui Sheng and others didn't come forward.He silently listened to Shen Yuexiao's growing voice.Master Xiao Shen said firmly: "Don't look at him like that, in fact, Xie Huaiyu's love for His Majesty is as deep as the sea, and his enthusiasm is as hot as fire! He is just shy and wants to save face, and he just refuses to admit it in his heart!"

Jian Fengzhi asked: "Huh? But I see Mr. Xie..."

"Hey, what do you know, little brat? Do you know what love is higher than the sky and hatred is as deep as the sea? The two of them just love the sky and hate the sea. They are so lingering, it makes people feel worried. Xie Huaiyu sees He looks cold and serious, but you don't know that when he has a good relationship with His Majesty, His Majesty will be punished, and he would like to replace it with his own body... Although they are not married, they are not a married couple, but their friendship is better than a married couple— —”

"Then according to your opinion, why did they make such a fuss?" Jian Fengzhi was already fooled.

"You don't understand this. Our Majesty is good everywhere, but we want too much. Think about it, if a person loves you so much that you cut off relations with your parents, relatives and friends, and only talk to him in your life, are you the same? agree?"

Jane Fengzhi shook her head violently.

"That's right." Shen Yuexiao clapped his hands, and said confidently, "Not only does His Majesty ask for this, but he also insists on doing it. Can His Excellency Emperor agree? It will be a matter of time before these two people fall apart... Your Majesty is still nine When His Highness, there was still a layer of teacher-student relationship covering and restraining, but how can there be anything that can restrain it later?"

Jian Fengzhi was dumbfounded, and said: "Master Xie can't control him?"

Shen Yuexiao smiled, patted his thigh, and said incessantly: "Don't you think that Xie Huaiyu didn't have that heart? When they were good before, they didn't push it halfway, and they didn't make unscrupulous mistakes? He loves His Majesty the most."

"But Master Emperor told me that he had a hard time with that one."

"Stupid. Do you believe what he says?"

"Oh——" Jian Fengzhi suddenly realized, when he was about to ask again with great interest, when he raised his head, he suddenly saw a figure standing still behind Shen Yuexiao.

Xie Wen was wearing a light smoky blue thin gown and robe, the cloak probably belonged to His Majesty, and dark gold dragon patterns were embroidered on the dark background, such a heavy color made him look thinner and gentle, not to mention that he was born with this appearance, even if Jane Fengzhi had seen it more than once, but he was still breathing stagnantly, circling in his mind with ecstasy, and his throat tightened belatedly, remembering what he had just said to Mr. Shen.

Shen Yuexiao wanted to say more, seeing Jian Fengzhi's eyes straightened, he patted the other party suspiciously, and just about to ask, he found that his shoulder was pressed by the hand of the person behind him, obviously it was useless, but it still made Shen Yuexiao's heart skip a beat One sound.Xie Wen who was behind him asked unhurriedly, "How is Master Xiao Shen?"

Shen Yuexiao was flustered, his mind was shaken, and he said in a low voice: "It's so-so... It's okay, it's okay..."

Xie Wen pressed his shoulders and lowered her head, her breath was as cold as frost: "Hot as fire? Are you talking about me?"

Shen Yuexiao didn't expect that after listening for so long, he couldn't even find where to start to explain. He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead dryly, and said: "The palace, the court rumors, I made up nonsense. Give it to Jane To relieve boredom...he was not very happy before."

Xie Wen let go of her hand suddenly, lifted her robe as if she didn't care, moved a small stool next to her, and sat down with the two of them.

The surroundings are extremely clean, and there are some fallen leaves in the courtyard that have not been swept.Xiao Feilian looked over from afar and sized up this side.

"Why are you unhappy?" Xie Wenming asked knowingly.

Jian Fengzhi's expression twisted into a ball, he was sullen for a while, and said to Xie Wen: "Master Zhou did not repay my kindness to me, but that day..."

"You regret saving me?"

"I will never regret it!" Jian Fengzhi said immediately, then scratched his head, and said sadly, "But I have to repay Lord Zhou. Even if His Majesty wants to kill him, I should rush forward and die for Lord Zhou."

"What's the matter? What happened?" Shen Yuexiao stretched his neck and asked, this time it was his turn not to know, he was obviously very handsome, but his eyes could immediately burst out the raging flames and light of wanting to hear gossip, his ears couldn't wait to stretch out to heaven.

Sometimes Xie Wen really felt that Xiao Jiu's re-use of him might be for the intelligence department.

Jian Fengzhi heard a lot of gossip from Mr. Shen, and felt embarrassed not to say it now, so he poured out Zhou Mian's kindness to him before, as well as the things of the past few days.

Shen Yuexiao was shocked when he heard it. He turned his head and looked at Xie Wen for a moment, and said with emotion: "You are really beautiful, sad and sick. That Zhou Mian with thick eyebrows and big eyes did the same thing? I have long thought that he is not With good intentions..."

"Are you joking again?" Xie Wen said, "I don't have a long memory."

Shen Yuexiao immediately said: "Long memory, long memory. If I do this again, I will not be raising horses, and I will really have to separate my head. But I said... Xiao Jian is too stubborn."

He patted his thigh, lowered his voice, and said to the two of them, "Young General Zhou has always looked down on Jianghu people. How did he save you so easily? And your enemy, how did he find you at this critical moment?" Father?...The Emperor Master was found only half a month ago, and he was able to find you who is determined to repay your kindness, and there may be many articles here."

Xie Wen suddenly thought of that little eunuch named Wen Cheng, who also seemed to want to "repay his kindness."

"There is a definite number of grievances and grievances in this world. How can he get so much kindness to save all sentient beings." Shen Yuexiao said, "I'll check it out for you later, when I return to the secret prison..."

When he said this, he looked at Xie Wen with an embarrassed expression, and asked cautiously: "Is Your Majesty still angry? He won't really let me raise a horse for a lifetime, let me tell you, Xiao Feilian doesn't care about me at all, nor Cooperate with me and stay in this crappy place, I can't even support myself." Not to mention there are thousands of book fans waiting to be fed.

"I can't interfere in his court affairs." Xie Wen said.

"How is it possible, my ancestor, my lord emperor, who else does His Majesty listen to besides you?" Shen Yuexiao didn't believe it at all.

Xie Wen recalled the conversation last night. His filters and expectations for Xiao Xuanqian had been broken inch by inch. When he was most disappointed in the past, there were court affairs and national affairs that kept him busy. He temporarily forgot about the bone-chilling cold, but Ever since Xiao Xuanqian took all the power back into his hands and forbade him to meet with any officials and courtiers, he understood very clearly...he was incomparable to power and the temptation to be above ten thousand people. You can't even touch it.

He is also just an "other person".

Xie Wen has been deceived too many times. At the beginning, he listened with his ears and saw with his eyes, but Xiao Xuanqian often contradicted his words and deeds, and his appearance was not the same.He is like a candle that burns repeatedly and is constantly blown out. The wick has been ignited and cut many times, but when he even feels that he can't burn it, he can still burst out a little spark. .

It's fine if it doesn't burn.Xie Wen thought, it's too cold today, and the words "resurrected from ashes" sound strangely painful.

"Huaiyu?" Tongtong called him in a low voice.

Xie Wen just came back to his senses, and he said to Shen Yuexiao: "I really can't do anything. He messed up too much, maybe I will die before you."

Shen Yuexiao was stunned for a moment, and said: "My lord, the emperor, treats me too lightly."

Xie Wen smiled and didn't say anything. Seeing that Jian Fengzhi's arms and legs were complete, he was completely relieved, and then asked: "The Zhou Mansion has been closed, once you find out about this matter, where are you going in the future?" ?”

Jian Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then said: "I have no idea... If possible, I really want to be with Mr. Xie and serve as his bodyguard."

"It's true, Mr. Huaiyu's bodyguard must be a fourth-rank one, right? You are quite courageous." Shen Yuexiao joked, "You have a knife in front of you?"

Jian Fengzhi was stunned for a moment: "Is it a big official?"

"Tsk, it's very big, and it's easy to lose your head." Shen Yuexiao gestured, "It's just that your kung fu is actually good. The main reason is that you saved him and you are loyal. This plan is actually very good, even His Majesty should agree."

Xie Wen coughed lightly, and said: "But it's not peaceful to be by my side. If you regret it and want to leave the palace, I can only let you go as much as possible. I can't say for sure. Xiao Jiu is a very dangerous person. You have to think about it."

Shen Yuexiao felt that with Xie Wen's status and his weight in Xiao Xuanqian's heart, it shouldn't be this kind of tone, but for a while he couldn't figure out why.Looking at Xie Wen's face, he suddenly realized that - even though the other party was still so outstanding, but his brows looked very tired, and the former high-spirited and moving brilliance had almost turned into ashes.

Shen Yuexiao thought silently, and suddenly felt that even though he always persuaded Mr. Xie, if Xie Wen really wanted to leave His Majesty completely, he would probably still be on the side of the emperor's teacher... He is just a book writer who is full of Jinghua Cheng. Hundreds and thousands are just spectators, unable to get into the hearts of the two and make decisions for them.

----

at the same time.

The way for all the officials to retreat was suddenly blocked. On the jade steps outside the palace, a military general in heavy armor frowned, grabbed the civil servant's court uniform and cursed angrily: "Feng, don't look at your grandfather. Pointing at Sang and scolding Huai in the hall, clearly saying that our Northwest Army is wrong! We guard the frontier for His Majesty and fight against the barbarians, and you eat and drink spicy food in Beijing, and you still arrange grandpa’s wrong!"

Before he finished his words, he raised his hand and punched him. The civil official held his head high and held his chest high. He didn't dodge or dodge. His nose was bruised and his face was swollen. He fell to the ground all of a sudden, but got up stiffly, pointed at General Chen and shouted. : "Before your Majesty's jade steps, it's up to you to show off your prestige?! Why didn't you say that in the hall just now? Turn around and bully the weak and fear the hard and throw this kind of muddy legs like crazy!"

This punch hit Wen Chen's face, and the officials who stopped because of this were somewhat unhappy.But they all knew in their hearts that General Chen was promoted by the generals of the Northwest Army and the military attaches of the Northwest Army. The meaning of the tone is the best.

And Mr. Feng happens to be the person who doesn't like to be a military officer the most. His whole body, bones and flesh are hard. When the emperor was in power, he was so young, he dared to accuse the emperor in person. Originally, His Majesty I really don't want to see this person, but the emperor's teacher has kept this person... Although Mr. Feng has not been successful in official career these years, His Majesty has never moved him, just pretending that this person does not exist.

Everyone thought about this, and thought that before the rebellion of the Zhou family was confiscated a few days ago, His Majesty treated General Zhou as "just as if there was no such person". There are clues to the trend, so is Master Xie still there?What is the emperor's plan for these people now?

The crowd didn't know what to do, and they let the two of them quarrel, arguing about this matter in front of the jade steps, it also meant to test what kind of wind was blowing on His Majesty's side.The generals supported the jade belts on their waists, and watched them coldly. Occasionally, if they came forward to argue, they were pulled down by the veterans by their necks.

On Wen Chen's side, there were two people who beat General Chen to the head and face, and scolded him to the point that they insisted on reading him a book. Some people pretended to turn around, as if they were going back to find Xiao Xuanqian to decide.

Chen Qian, General Chen raised his hand and pulled Feng Qijun up by his collar. He said coldly, "I'm not afraid that you guys will start arguing. I'll say the same even when I get to His Majesty. Our Northwest Army is loyal and victorious in all battles—— Your Majesty's respect for you!" Our kindness is as great as a mountain, how could such a little lamb be insulted, I was afraid of dirtying the eyes of the saint, so I didn't let your blood flow on the golden temple!"

Feng Qijun stared at his face, spat bloody saliva on his face, gritted his teeth and said: "People like chickens and dogs are also talking about victories in all battles. If Master Xie and those late old generals didn't sit in town, You reckless people, can you defend the country and your majesty? Now that bastard Zhou Mian is going to rebel against the emperor, instead of apologizing, you will become more and more domineering!"

When Xie Wen died three years ago bearing a lot of infamy, Feng Qijun was the most dissatisfied among them.He was deeply supported by Xie Wen, and even if he couldn't see the emperor's teacher at all, he still believed in Master Xie's character.Now that the emperor has overturned the case at his discretion, he will find fault with this group of people every day with the old affairs of the emperor's teacher, and scold anyone who is familiar with him. Now he has offended many people in the court.

Just as he was scolding freely, Chen Qian, who was arrogant and dared to beat people in front of the jade steps, didn't respond. General Chen let go of his hands with a face sinking like water, turned around and lifted his robe, and knelt down facing the jade steps.It was only then that Feng Qijun realized that all the ministers around him had already bowed their heads to salute, and they didn't look like they were in a mess just now, they were so quiet that no one heard them.

He turned his head to look, and sure enough, he saw a person standing on the jade steps.

The emperor stood outside the palace, dressed in an imperial uniform intertwined with red gold, which complemented the young emperor's brilliance. Xiao Xuanqian just stood there and watched silently, enough for many people's legs to be weak.The officials could not help but think of the emperor's wrist—the blood stained the mouths and noses of the aristocratic family, covering their cries for help, and the trembling footsteps of the emperor's guards that night were enough to make the whole capital tremble with fear.

Feng Qijun followed and knelt down.

In all directions, it was so quiet that there was only the sound of the wind.The overlapping heartbeats rumbled in everyone's chest.

"Guo Jin," Xiao Xuanqian said, "bring me my bow."

Guo Jin took the order and went away. Not long after, the dark golden eight-stone war bow was brought out, and it was tributed to the emperor's hand together with the feather arrow.

Xiao Xuanqian was not in a hurry, and said plainly with no abnormal expression: "Chen Qian."

"The minister is here."

"On behalf of me, I ask your father to be in good health." Xiao Xuanqian picked up the bow and stroked it casually, lowered his head and said casually, "The old general taught you very well."

Chen Qian's scalp was numb, and he immediately replied: "I... I thank you for your kindness on behalf of my father."

Before he finished speaking, he kowtowed his head twice immediately, blood was seen on his forehead, and he shouted in a desperate voice: "Your Majesty, although the old general has treated us with kindness and affection, we definitely don't know about Zhou Mian's rebellion! Returning to Beijing this time, this group of speech officials keeps impeaching and slandering us, it is really a great humiliation!"

Seeing that Xiao Xuanqian was still expressionless, he said ruthlessly: "If Master Xie Huaiyu Xie was still here, he would never teach them to behave like this—" The rest of the sentence stuck in his throat and was abruptly cut off.At the same time as he said those words in his voice, a feathered arrow rushed straight in front of his eyes, flying like a meteor, tearing the air, and the wind blew violently. At that moment, Chen Qian almost thought that he was going to die immediately. He was about to die—the murderous arrow pierced the crown on his head, made a shattering sound, flew out with a lock of hair, and stuck straight into the ground behind him.

The edge of the feathered arrow grazed the scalp, and the blood spread from the wound, trickling down bit by bit, stinging through the thick black eyebrows.

In the extreme silence, everyone looked up, Xiao Xuanqian still held the war bow, and pulled out the next arrow from one side with a blank face: "Who allows you to call him that?"

Call him?who?He just said... Baiguan suddenly came back to his senses, just now General Chen called Master Xie as Xie Huaiyu.This is a name that many people have called to show their closeness to the emperor, but I don't know when, this name disappeared under the emperor's surveillance.

Chen Qian exhaled hot air from his throat. He was so startled that he was about to lose his mind, but with an inexplicable courage, he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty is the most protective general. I can't even dream of it." I want Master Xie to come back to life!"

This is not the time when everyone avoided Xie Wen and waited to see a joke.As soon as he said this, everyone knew what Chen Qian was going to do, but there was one person who didn't know.Feng Qijun, who was still kneeling on the ground just now, raised his head suddenly, rushed to the front of Chen Qian, and asked, "Your Majesty, are the rumors in the capital recently true? Is it true that Mr. Xie is not dead, but is recuperating by His Majesty's side?"

No one dared to ask, only he asked on the bright side.When many people were secretly frightened, Feng Qijun knocked his head on the ground and cried bitterly: "I beg your majesty to let me see Mr. Xie, and please let me repay him for the kindness of supporting and protecting you that day. If you can fulfill this wish, I will die as soon as possible." willing!"

Chen Qian suddenly turned his head to look at him, and many officials almost rolled their eyes out, staring at this murderous Master Feng in astonishment.After all, the emperor teacher is His Majesty's teacher, a person who can control the emperor, even if His Majesty overturns the case for him, or even finds him to make good offerings to him, but he may not be able to point such a person on the bright side... If Having said that, wouldn't that mean putting a curse on the head of the Ninth Five-Year Lord?

Xiao Xuanqian looked at him with cold eyes, he stretched his bow and set an arrow, and the next feathered arrow was pressed on the string, the piercing murderous aura made the whole body chill - although he was young, when he was a prince, he was also a martial arts leader , Killed the enemy with his own hands.

His Majesty's archery skills are the best in the world, there is absolutely no way to deny this.Everyone held their breath and concentrated, and some even closed their eyes in advance, unable to bear to see the scene of the blood-stained jade steps.

The bowstring was so tight that it was almost about to break.The longbow is drawn like a full moon, and the arrow is the imperial pen that kills people.

There was a sound of swishing, and there was a sudden sound of breaking through the air.Feng Qijun closed his eyes and waited for the release, but at this moment, his forehead didn't feel cold. He raised his hand and touched his forehead in a daze, and then touched his neck. His whole body was intact. The next moment, a wild goose fell from the front.

The arrow was shot in the body of the goose, and the blood flowed profusely.

Xiao Xuanqian withdrew his bow and said, "Eat it all."

After he finished speaking, he turned around, leaving all the officials to stare at the bird and beast dumbfounded. They didn't know whether the sentence "eat them all" was a reward or a punishment. Only Feng Qijun stayed for a long time before he realized. He lowered his head and said, "...Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

On the same day when he retired from the court, Xiao Xuanqian moved all the memorials under Xie Wen's eyes for approval.He listened to Cui Sheng's report on the emperor's whereabouts for a day, and he didn't say much, and then he performed his emperor's duties on the case.

Xie Wen was sitting on the chessboard and making notes, while watching the little maid in the corridor outside the window making medicine for him.The lights were flickering, and when it was getting deeper and the dew was heavy, Xie Wen hadn't finished playing the chess record in his hand. Suddenly a white piece fell on the chessboard in front of him, and he said without raising his head: "Thirteen out of three, fight against each other."

Xiao Xuanqian took out the sunspots and continued to play according to his words.

Xie Wen put down the score in her hand, waited for the opponent to drop another chess piece, and continued: "Six out of fifteen, block."

Xiao Xuanqian still settled for him.The two used to play chess, and Xie Wen often played blind chess with him while writing letters, so Xiao Xuanqian always made black and white pieces in turn, and he developed such a habit.

The little emperor's skills have improved, and the two probably played another thirty or forty moves.

"Six out of sixteen, volley cover." Xie Wen raised her eyes.

Xiao Xuanqian placed the pieces on his behalf, the black pieces were arranged coldly on the board, he stared at the shape of the pieces for a moment, picked up and put down the white pieces in his hand, and said: "Teacher is still like this... gently nibble."

Xie Wen thought that I just treat you like this.

Xiao Xuanqian has been studying chess diligently for many years, but he has never seen Xie Wensu's cold appearance, and he also does not know that in the eyes of others, the emperor seldom shows mercy. Even when Xiao Tianrou played chess with him on the building, his chess style They are all equally scary, and they don't do extra work because of the other party's gender and physical condition.He only played guiding chess with Xiao Jiu.

Xiao Xuanqian looked at him, the eyes of the two met for a moment, the little emperor said: "Today, I shot a wild goose for Feng Qijun."

Xie Wen suddenly heard Mr. Xiao Feng's name, and felt a sense of alienation in a trance.He smiled slightly: "Are you so kind? You must have tried his head with an arrow."

"Yes." Xiao Xuanqian stared at him intently, as if his eyes were glued to him, "Guess, teacher, what did he say?"

Xie Wen glanced at him: "Feng Qijun wants to see me?"

Xiao Xuanqian heard him guess, but was very unhappy: "It's really wishful thinking."

Xie Wen withdrew all the dozens of moves they had played against each other according to memory, and then continued to play the game according to the book in his hand, and said calmly: "Since you have already decided not to let him see me, what are you talking about?"

Xiao Xuanqian's Adam's apple moved slightly, he observed Xie Wen's face at a loss, and said in a low voice: "Does the teacher want to see him?"

"I said I want to see you, but you're going to go crazy again, saying I don't care about you and only remembering others, and if I say I don't want to see you, you won't let me meet anyone other than you." Xie Wen analyzed calmly. He raised his eyes lazily, "You're a bastard, I already knew that."

For some reason, Xiao Xuanqian not only didn't feel uncomfortable when he was scolded so softly, but he was extraordinarily energetic... His internal organs were burning with scalding heat, giving birth to a longing for what he couldn't ask for.The little emperor stretched out his hand to hold Xie Wen's wrist, pulled him to caress his cheek, and said in a low voice: "I'm a bastard, as long as you don't leave me, I will listen to whatever you say."

Xie Wen didn't know how much these nonsense had been heard, and he was somewhat immune to it. Taking advantage of Xiao Jiushang's docile attitude at the moment, he proposed: "Master Xiao Shen raises Ma Qucai, when will you let him go?" When I go back, I just don't go to the brothel with him... As for Jian Fengzhi, he intends to keep me by his side as a bodyguard, but it's not for seeking an official position, it's just that he doesn't have any other acquaintances and has nowhere to go."

Xie Wen was not sure whether Xiao Xuanqian would agree.

"Okay," the little emperor unexpectedly agreed very simply. He stared blankly at Xie Wen for a while, but the piercing itch in his bones couldn't be restrained, his breath became a little heavier, and he approached Xie Wen and asked in a low voice, "I I promise you everything, can you..."

Can you?

Before Xie Wen had time to ask, she reacted a little slowly and realized something.He didn't have time to dodge, the other party was already approaching, and kissed him close at hand - different from the forced kiss on the carriage, Xiao Xuanqian seemed to be still sober, he was unprecedentedly gentle, almost reminding Xie Wen of the most lingering relationship between them, The most unforgettable couple of good times...

At that time Xiao Xuanqian was still very young, his breath was as hot and soft as it was at this moment.The young Lang was clearly kissing him actively, but he didn't know whether it was because of fear, or because he was too excited to breathe disorderly.Such a warm embrace can almost melt away every bit of his scruples and grudges.

It is the same at this moment.

The chessboard was pushed to the side, Xie Wen's back was surrounded by the other party, and the other party could easily hold him up halfway, gently supporting him, and pressing him down on the bed.Except for those few times of painful and violent bed affairs, Xiao Xuanqian's kiss was not so uncomfortable, but because of the rare extremely lingering, long and deep breath, Xie Wen couldn't get away for a while.

He was immersed in this extremely familiar but unfamiliar kiss for many years like an illusion.He remembered that snowy day... In the winter after the Mid-Autumn Festival, there was heavy snowfall.

At that time, Li Zaifu was confronted with Xie Wen, and he had great hostility towards this young celebrity, thinking that he was just trying to gain fame and fame.At the end of the new year, Concubine Zhuang and the Sixth Prince's forces were hit by the big case of military pay, and there was a tendency to counterattack. The political situation in the court was changing, and the late emperor treated him from time to time. In this plot full of traps and tricks Here, everything is like walking a tightrope.

Fortunately, Xie Wen has read this book completely and knows almost all the plots, so she can act like a prophet in this vortex.That winter, he was so exhausted that the maid's warming wine was two cups too hot, and he went to a banquet at night, and got drunk very accidentally.

The carriage was rolling, and Xie Wen was covered with a thick snow cloak, and because of the swell of alcohol, she couldn't feel the cold or heat.There was a gust of cold wind outside, and when he stopped outside the mansion, Xiao Xuanqian, whose status had improved a lot, was waiting at the door.

It was the first time His Royal Highness was allowed to go out of the palace at will from the late emperor. He took Xie Wen from the hand of the maid and got off the car. He smelled a mellow fragrance in the other party's light breath. Xiao Xuanqian held his hand and raised his eyes suddenly. A pair of gentle and moist eyes.

The corners of his eyes were reddish, a little drunken on his face.Xiao Xuanqian remembered that the teacher rarely drank alcohol. He didn't know that he could drink so lightly. He smelled such light osmanthus wine, but Xie Wen was drunk.
