The third year after the death of the emperor

Xie Wen actually expected Xiao Jiu's arrival.

From the day he left Ziwei Palace, he never believed that Xiao Xuanqian had chosen to give up.According to the character of the little emperor, he could endure a month's separation, which was already very painful and very depressing.What he wants to have and obtain cannot escape his control.

He often felt that Xiao Jiu sometimes had the habits of wild animals, remembering to eat but not to fight. He only knew the sweetness he tasted from the plundering, but he didn't realize the pain brought by reckless behavior... But his meeting the day before yesterday, and It was very different before.

The existence of the identity of "Xie Tong" can be said to be a thorn in the flesh for Xiao Xuanqian. Even if the little emperor goes crazy and locks him back to the Ziwei Palace, it is not impossible, but Xiao Jiu...what reason did he use to convince himself? ?

Xie Wen thought for a long time last night, but didn't figure it out.He took out the usual wound medicine, closed the windows tightly, and Tongtong went to play with the little girls in the snow, he was the only one in the small building.

When I was just tidying up the house and putting the old boxes and wood in the mezzanine of the attic, I lost my slack for a moment. Just like what the dark guard Eleven said that day, the emperor master strategizes, turns clouds and rains in his hands, and doesn't know how to do rough chores.

Master Dishi is equivalent to adding a full point of mind, and only a little bit of physical strength, otherwise the little emperor would not be able to hold him in his arms with one hand, and casually hug him and bring him into the carriage.He didn't expect that he couldn't do this kind of chores well, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be prone to bumps and bumps. He unbuttoned his robe, and the shoulders and the lower part of the neck had just been scratched. At this moment, there was a fiery pain, but this pain For Xie Wen, it was still within the tolerable range.

The outer shirt fell off and landed softly, the white and thin clothes inside covered the body.Xie Wen reached out and unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the scratches, and then calmly opened the medicine box. He had just opened the wooden box when he heard footsteps on the floor.

He subconsciously thought it was Tongtong going upstairs, and then suddenly remembered that the little emperor was staying in Luodu. At this moment of hesitation, the sound of hurried footsteps was already close in front of him. Xie Wen folded his clothes with one hand and watched through a screen. That figure——Xiao Xuanqian knocked on the door frame, as if he had knocked, and then approached, the figure was getting closer and closer to the screen.

The snow outside the window had stopped, the little emperor watched him close the window, and as soon as he could not see his shadowy figure, his heart was on fire and he couldn't suppress it, so he went to the door immediately, but when he really came in front of him, he suddenly held back his anxiety and gave birth A timid wandering and hesitation similar to the feeling of nostalgia.

"Teacher..." He called out, smelling the smell of the ointment inside, his eyebrows twitched, he could no longer pretend to be reserved, he crossed the screen, looked up and saw Xie Wen was calmly picking up the fallen coat, bowed his head and put it on again.

There was a medicine box spread out on the table, and the healing ointment exuded a strong sweet smell.Xiao Xuanqian's throat got stuck all of a sudden, and he said after a while: "...Where did you get hurt, where did you hit?"

When he walked over, there was still a slight coolness of frost and snow in his hair.Xie Wen was interrupted by this little wolf cub before he took any good medicine. He always had some memory and didn't want to show his skin in front of a bad wolf, so he closed his collar with one hand and said: "It's okay, I was negligent for a while, a little Abrasion."

Xiao Xuanqian couldn't see that he was injured, just like what Xie Wen said before, he wished he could take him back to his side immediately, look at him and take care of him, but he locked the words in his throat... Only then did he show Do something harmless, and don't give up halfway.

Xiao Xuanqian said: "Did I disturb the teacher to take the medicine? Don't be afraid of me, I won't do anything."

Xie Wen looked at him silently, and he was also wondering about the gap that the other party had recently shown in front of his eyes. He swept his eyes over it probing and scrutinizing, and before he could ask carefully, Xiao Xuanqian told the truth very docilely.

"Since the teacher left, there is always another voice in my mind. He is the same as me, but more... gentle." Xiao Xuanqian seemed to choose such a word after careful consideration, "Whenever I am angry and impulsive, I can hardly control myself He would squeeze into my head every now and then and tell me what to do. I felt like I was going to be split in two, one half desperately needing you, wanting you, wanting you, and the other half just pure I hope you will treat me well."

As he spoke, he poked his fingers over, picked up the opened medicine box, and then slightly picked the clothes on Xie Wen's shoulders, whispering: "The teacher wanted to see my wound the day before yesterday, and I didn't refuse... Let's be fair?"

When Xie Wen heard the word "fairness" from his mouth, he was really angry and funny. He thought about what the other party said, and said casually: "On the shoulder."

Xiao Xuanqian leaned over, and restrainedly peeled off the other party's loose clothes, exposing his shoulders.There was a purplish bruise on the porcelain white jade skin, which oozes faintly from the impact, and it looks like it hurts when touched, the sleeping beast in Xiao Xuanqian's heart woke up again, he bit the back molars to calm down In my mind, there is almost an illusion that another voice is about to occupy——

But he knew what that voice was.

is another self.

His body contained only one soul, but it was hollowed out and cut off in extreme pain, leaving a personality like "Nine Princes" to save the situation.Xiao Xuanqian knew that he had a mental problem, but since the teacher left Ziwei Palace, his mental problem became more and more serious, and sometimes he couldn't even tell which one was dominant at the moment.

"According to you..." Xie Wen is not a professional psychiatrist after all, so she can't judge what the other person's symptoms are. Unfortunately, Tongtong is not there, otherwise the system is on her, and she may be able to detect the other person's situation, "Yes... Multiple personalities?"

"What is that?" Xiao Xuanqian asked.

Although the little emperor was talking to the teacher on the surface, most of his energy was devoted to taking care of the other's scratches. He rubbed the cold ointment with his fingers to warm it up, and then gently and delicately covered the wound, applying it little by little. past.In his heart, the teacher should have been raised delicately, and his health was not good, let alone the remnants of overwork and internal injuries, such flimsy evidence in front of him hurt his eyes——Xiao Jiu couldn't help but be impatient Yu, his heart was so stuffy and painful, and he felt that the teacher had no one to take care of him during the three years of parting, which made him feel even more uncomfortable for a while.

"It's just... a kind of mental illness." Xie Wen didn't know how to explain it to him. He thought for a moment and said, "I thought you only had bipolar disorder or mental disorder, so you were both manic and depressed."

"Double... what?"

"It's okay, forget it if you don't understand." Xie Wen said, "I treat you as a patient, and I don't want to argue with you about many things. I didn't expect you... hiss."

He took a breath and turned to look at the hand that was applying the medicine to himself.However, Xiao Xuanqian was even more flustered than him. The man's movements were very light, but the back of his neck was a little heavier than his shoulders, no matter how careful he was, it would still hurt.

"Teacher... I'll be gentler, I'm sorry, I hurt you again."

The other party's words slipped past his ears in a low voice, and Xie Wen didn't realize that it sounded weird. Instead, he was a little surprised at the obedient and obedient look of the little bastard. His heart was inexplicably astringent, and he turned his head and said: Speaking, you shouldn't know the existence of your second personality, he shouldn't be able to influence you, did this voice tell you anything?"

"I said it." The other party said, "He said that if I force you and hurt you again, he will kill me."

Xie Wen narrowed her pupils and asked, "What do you mean? Did he say he wanted to control your body, or..."

Xiao Xuanqian shook his head calmly, as if this was not a threat to him, he said: "It killed this body."

Xie Wen was stunned for a moment, speechless, staring at the other party for a long time, before letting out a breath, said: "Is your Xiao family born with some genetic diseases..."

The eldest princess was born with a weak body, and she was raised by rich clothes and fine food.The second prince died at the young age of ten, and the third prince died because of the death of his mother and concubine. He was overjoyed and saddened to crash into a pillar... The several princes who were later caught up in the battle for the throne also showed a very extreme and terrifying side in the process. For example, the Seventh Highness who abused animals in order to beat Xiao Jiu when he was young, and later killed his own mother to show his surrender.

He used to think that Xiao Jiu's extreme personality was just because he had a bad childhood, but now it seems that it should be the accumulation of various factors.Xie Wen thought about it for a while, and felt that the plot of the original novel was very reasonable and logical. Even if such a family could last for a hundred years, when Xiao Jiu's heir succeeded, it would still collapse sooner or later.

"Actually, I wasn't threatened by him." Xiao Xuanqian stared at the other party, he couldn't help getting closer, looking into the other party's eyes, "I just know that what he said is right, so I can... Only then can the teacher not work so hard."

After the other party finished the medicine, Xie Wen closed his underwear again. He was always respectful and upright, and it was rare to see such a disheveled, lazy and casual posture. In the scene, this thin forehead chain will always shake with his master, accompanied by those uncontrollable trembling, being licked and shiny, warmed with body temperature, obviously fragile like It breaks as soon as it is pulled, as if with a slight force, it will collapse and be broken in an instant...

Xie Wen raised her hand and poked the little wolf cub on the forehead, looked at someone approaching unknowingly, and said in a cold tone: "What are you thinking, keep a distance from me."

Xiao Xuanqian regained consciousness in an instant, his Adam's apple moved slightly, and he lowered his head peacefully to let him teach him a lesson. After a while, he said: "Teacher, I'm leaving tomorrow."

"Yeah." Xie Wen said, "I know."

I really don't know how an emperor who is so seriously ill can be accurate in government and state affairs.Xie Wen sighed in her heart, feeling that although the other party's state might be beneficial to her, it eased the relationship between the two parties and saved Tong Tong, but for Xiao Xuanqian, he was always facing the risk of suddenly changing his will.

"Teacher...is it only when he guides me and warns me that I look better in front of you?"

He almost didn't look like the arbitrary emperor.Xie Wen subconsciously narrowed her eyes to examine the past, and said calmly: "Do you know who that 'he' is?"

"It was me when I was not enthroned." Xiao Xuanqian said, "Probably in...about 40 years of Chenghua."

40 years of Chenghua...

Xie Wen was silent for a moment, and said, "I see. After the southern tour, what are your plans?"

Xiao Xuanqian said: "Teacher, actually I want...I want to bring Xie Tong with me to teach."

Xie Wen raised her head abruptly, showing an indescribable subtle expression: "Why?"

"The teacher's child is my child," he said very seriously, "I have only you in my life, and I will not have any more children. Now the teacher has a child, and her mother..." When he said this, the little emperor Visibly biting the root of his teeth, a sour smell came out of his body, he calmed down before continuing.

"Her mother is gone, and this is the teacher's child alone. I treat her as my own daughter, teach her martial arts and archery, and govern the country. I want her to be Daqi's princess, the only one who governs the country. Princess." His gaze was like a blade, and he didn't feel that there was any rebelliousness in what he said, "When Xie Tong grows up, she will be the next empress. With me, all these can be done...Teacher, what do you think? Is it?"

Xie Wen was stunned for a long time, hesitant to speak, and wanted to say that my girl might not be what you thought, and she couldn't say it outright, so she said in a roundabout way: "... Let's think about it in the long run, she is just a child."

"...You really love her."

The little emperor didn't know why he said this again, his ability to pick up acid and jealousy became better and better, and he could even drink this vinegar.

"If the teacher doesn't forgive me..." Xiao Xuanqian whispered, "I will go to the Northwest Imperial Army to fight next year. If I win, I will be safe for decades, lest the Northwest Army get into trouble every year. If I lose, I will die outside. Let the teacher add more trouble..."

Xie Wen frowned and looked up at him.Even though Xiao Xuanqian was tyrannical and manic in the past, he never joked about state affairs, because he knew that the expectation of the wise emperor was one of the roots of Xie Wen's tolerance towards him, but this one in front of him was extremely capricious, and he could use anything as a bargaining chip Hold it in the palm of your hand.

...can't tell which one is more troublesome.

Xie Wen said: "Who is your accompanying imperial physician? Where is Zhang Ze? If Zhang imperial physician is fine, please invite him to come to my place. I also know some quacks in Luodu."

"Is the teacher still not feeling well? The prescription prescribed in the palace before..." Xiao Xuanqian asked subconsciously.

Before he could speak halfway, Xie Wen threw the half-read book on the case towards his head, and glanced at him coldly: "I want to see if you still have treatment."

Xiao Xuanqian took the booklet and showed a satisfied smile, it seemed because he felt that the teacher cared about him, and his whole body breath improved a lot, and he stuck to Xie Wen's side and said a lot of words, which took a lot of time Jin sent it away.

In the evening, Tongtong, who had been playing outside all day, came up with food. While eating, she listened to Xie Wen's talk about today's events. She was so surprised that she drank several sips of tea before she frowned and said, "What do you mean? , Is he really mentally ill?"

"Well." Xie Wen said, "When he comes back, you stay by my side and observe."

"Oh, it's nothing." Tongtong took a mouthful of fish, thinking while eating, and continued after swallowing, "The other personality is His Highness Ninth? His Highness Ninth in Chenghua for 40 years, that was not the best time for your relationship ?"

She raised her head and saw Xie Wen standing in front of the window.The bright moon was full of light, and a ray of frosty moonlight fell on him, and the light reflected the hosta in his hair.

"Yeah." Xie Wen replied.

"The little emperor can't make it through, he has a mental disorder and a split personality, and his sub-personality is him in the period of the Ninth Prince." Tongtong pulled his fingers, frowning so much that he could kill a fly, "But the Ninth Prince...he was still dissatisfied at that time. At the age of 20, his mind is still uncertain, if he is fickle, he is probably even more fickle than the little emperor. If he is awake and the little emperor is asleep, will the situation be better?"

"I don't know." Xie Wen said, "But he is already awake."

Tong Tong's chopsticks were about to fall off: "...Huh?"

"He is the one who came to see me today." Xie Wen turned around, walked from the window to the lamp, and sat opposite Tong Tong, "Actually, I suspect that he had already had a great influence two days ago, even It's possible that he was the one two days ago. The Ninth Prince told me on purpose, the little bastard wanted me to know that he existed, and wanted me to know that he was the only one who was the most obedient and treated me best."

"He...the one today is..."

"He has more self-control than the current Xiao Xuanqian, but he is also difficult." Xie Wen sighed, "This little bastard..."

The author has something to say: The consequence of the app not responding is that...

After restarting, the bug came out.

Xiao Jiu:?I am not a virus, I am the teacher's dear baby x
