The third year after the death of the emperor

This joyful New Year's Eve came to an end, the sound of fireworks outside the window began to fade away, and the letters in Xie Wen's hand burned less and less, leaving only the last one.

Tongtong was already sleepy, leaning against the side and yawning.Xie Wen's eyes reflected the charcoal fire in the basin, which turned from prosperity to decline, and suddenly heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the stairs.

Dark Guard Eleven disappeared before his eyes in time.Xie Wen raised her eyes to look at the door, feeling something in her heart, the next moment, the knock on the door rang out restrainedly.The door creaked, and he saw the little emperor who was supposed to be in southern Xinjiang at the moment.

A few days ago, when the vehicle and horse communication contacted here, they were still reporting government affairs, military affairs, and narrating strategic decisions. Xiao Xuanqian appeared in Luodu, which is really inconceivable.

His shoulders and hair were covered with unmelted snow, his eyes were black, and under the warm glow of the room, they were as bright as stars.

Xiao Xuanqian took off the snow-covered cloak with one hand, walked over, lifted the robe and sat next to Xie Wen, the first sentence he uttered was: "It's so warm."

Xie Wen looked at the charcoal basin for heating and the stove in the room, and said, "Hang the clothes on the screen."

Xiao Xuanqian immediately got up and put the cloak away, and then put it on Xie Wen's side again, saying: "I'm so sleepy."

"Why don't you feel sleepy when you come back in such a hurry." Xie Wen guessed that he came back in a hurry, covered in travel and dust, and had no time to straighten his clothes when he arrived at the door.

"I told the teacher that I came back before the first day of junior high school." Xiao Xuanqian said, "With you waiting for me, I don't want to break my promise."

He stared at Xie Wen's side face, and only after he finished speaking did he notice the last letter burning in the other party's hand. The handwriting on it was the most familiar, and those unreasonable lovesickness were wiped out in the embers.Xiao Xuanqian was stunned for a moment, his heart suddenly felt sour, and there was a dull pain that had nowhere to vent - it seemed that he was the only one who cared, the teacher...

"I've seen it." Xie Wen said, "I thought you would be delayed on the way."

Xiao Xuanqian turned his eyes to look at him, as if being pardoned: "Have you seen it?"

"Ah."

Xie Wen threw the remaining part into the brazier, and when she was about to take it back, the other party grabbed her palm.Xiao Xuanqian's breath suddenly got very close, and he asked in a low voice: "Can I rest at the teacher's place?"

"Is this acceptable?" Xie Wen asked.

When he said this lightly, Xiao Xuanqian's heart immediately fell to the bottom.Because of his special situation, these two wills are two stages of the same person, so each can vaguely feel the existence of the other, and the moment the Ninth Prince wakes up, he has to accept what he has done—just like accepting a Ridiculous dream.

"Of course...it's possible." Xiao Xuanqian reluctantly said.

Xie Wen stared into his eyes, the emperor who had been on the throne for several years showed a trace of untimely weakness, his heartstrings were also gently twitched by this "untimely", he sighed and thought, how could he be so cunning The person who showed this appearance without authorization wanted to write off all the grievances and grievances in the middle.

Xie Wen said: "There is a futon upstairs, you can move it down by yourself later."

Xiao Xuanqian was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party meant to allow it.He also felt a slight change in the teacher's attitude at this moment. He should have understood his situation already, so he couldn't help but ask, "Does the teacher like me more?"

Tong Tong on the side had long been woken up by his arrival, and quietly observed him beside Xie Wen.Xie Wen's eyes paused, feeling a sense of anger for no reason, and he suddenly said: "What's the difference?"

He thought he could bear it, but in the face of such inquiries, his heart still boiled, and he always fell into a situation where he couldn't calm down.

Xie Wen's voice became slightly colder: "Isn't this caused by you? You can't divide it into several. Can I only settle accounts with you in the fifth year of Qiming, and not with you, the innocent and innocent Ninth Prince? Responsibility, but also continue to manage this unrecognizable teacher-student relationship with you?"

His emotions rarely surfaced on the surface. Although he was still restrained at the moment, due to his intense emotions and outbursts, even the corners of his eyes were red.

"Every time I prepare how to deal with you, you are so fickle. When I treat you well, you want to make me uncomfortable and embarrass me. When I treat you badly, you chase after me to promise and force I forgive you... I thought that if you let me go, your mind improved and you made some progress, it seems that your illness is getting worse. "

Xie Wen didn't want to talk any more, he felt that he had lost his composure too much, and immediately got up and led Tong Tong to wash and sleep.But Xiao Xuanqian didn't dare to let him fall asleep with his breath, it would hurt his health, he grabbed the other party's sleeve, and said in a flustered way: "It was my fault, teacher, I didn't mean that... Don't be angry, just be angry Don't hold back either."

Xie Wen got up too hastily, and asked him to pull her again, her blood pressure was a little low, her eyes suddenly turned black, and she felt a strong sense of dizziness, and she was suddenly pulled into his arms by the little emperor.

Xiao Xuanqian even breathed lightly, and murmured: "Teacher..."

He wanted to say "I don't deserve your anger", but when the words came to his lips, he felt despicably that his weight was different from others after all, which could arouse Xie Wen's emotions.This idea was expelled by him in the next moment, because the teacher was more angry and sad for him, but less happy for him. He clearly admired him, but he was so incompetent.

Xiao Xuanqian obediently followed him guiltily, with a low voice: "I've done it myself, I deserve to die, and I can't speak, so don't get angry because of me, your health is not good..."

Just as he was talking in a low voice, there was the sound of people going up the stairs from the corner of the stairs, and the two Ziwei guards stopped outside the bead curtain, half-kneeling on the ground with a slap.He Quan said: "Your Majesty, the motorcade of the bosses has been placed in Luodu, and Guo Dajian has already communicated with the owner here."

He reported a lot of tedious matters, all of which were properly arranged by Guo Dajian, Xiao Xuanqian frowned when he heard that, he just said that he didn't need to disturb too many people, so he asked the two guards to retreat.

He Quan retreated slowly with Ran Yuanfei, who had a flustered expression, and when he reached the bottom of the building, Ran Yuanfei's flushed face got better, and he approached He Quan with treacherous eyebrows: "Boss He, who is that? I didn't even dare to look into it." look."

He Quan said: "It's a good thing you didn't look carefully, otherwise your eyeballs would have been gouged out at this time. That's not a famous actress from the Peony Pavilion, but a teacher who lives here temporarily."

As a core figure, He Quan actually knew a lot about the inside story, but this was enough to fool Ran Yuanfei.The two went downstairs, and Guo Jin caught up from behind. He had already discussed with the young lady of the Peony Pavilion. That shrewd woman realized something in a few words, and she never refused the arrival of this group.

At this point, the last bunch of fireworks on New Year's Eve scattered down in mid-air, scattered into bright spots of light.

----

Xiao Xuanqian didn't expect that the teacher would keep him, he was actually ready to be rejected.But when it's time to take a shower, change clothes, add quilts and make the bed, I feel a little dazed—the most ordinary couple in the world, isn't it?

However, his spirit has been stretched to the extreme, as if the precision instrument has run out of energy, and will soon be on the verge of shutting down.But if it was normal, in Ziwei Palace, even if he was really exhausted, he would still be haunted by nightmares, dreaming of some past events that made him regret.

This unremarkable and quaint small building carries a lot of warmth.After he washed, he watched Xie Wen wipe Tongtong's hands and face, and untie the hair tie. He wanted to help Tongtong a few times, but he hesitated to speak, suspecting that he was too rough to take care of his daughter... the little emperor thought She has already regarded Tongtong as her own daughter.

Xie Tong is really like the teacher.Xiao Xuanqian thought that Huaiyu's outstanding appearance must be very good-looking if he inherited it from his daughter.

He paused for a moment, then thought again, I don't know who is so lucky to be able to... If he can also have children, although it is despicable to use children to keep Huaiyu, he might be able to do it, but he is a man, There is no involvement and gift of blood origin.

Xiao Xuanqian's mind was good and bad for a while, and he didn't know what was going on in his mind.Xie Wen asked Tongtong for her opinion while she was washing up. The little girl pursed her lips and thought for a while, then replied in a low voice: "It's really different from before. There was no psychology department in ancient times, it would only make people want to open up."

Xie Wen said: "I can't tell him, you have to think about it."

"Yes." Tongtong said, "I guess when you faked your death three years ago, many people told him that they wanted to be more open."

The little girl got into the quilt all at once, and was very "considerate" not to sleep with her father, for fear that she would be thrown out by the little emperor when the time came.

Xie Wen wiped her hair and sat down on the side of the couch. His quilt had already been spread. Xiao Jiu sat at the end of the bed like a daughter-in-law. She had been staring at herself since tidying up just now. Too considerate.

If he doesn't care about people, people will naturally care about him.

Xiao Xuanqian crawled over from the other end, put his arms on the couch, looked down at his face from the bottom up, like a puppy observing his master's expression, then Gougou took the towel in Xie Wen's hand and said: "Let me do it."

In the past, Xiao Xuanqian would also wipe his hair.

Xie Wen was noncommittal, and let the little emperor do these useless and extremely jerky things again. He was not born to serve others, but he always treated Xie Wen with care, and cheered up 12 points.

Xiao Xuanqian said: "It's been wiped dry, but it's still damp. Don't sleep yet, you'll get a headache."

Xie Wen said: "I didn't intend to sleep."

He pointed to the place in front of him, and the little emperor obediently sat down.A dim yellow candle was lit beside the bed, Xie Wen recalled the many letters she had read recently, and started from the beginning: "Your letter said that on the first day you arrived in southern Xinjiang, you killed a corrupt official."

"Yes." Xiao Xuanqian said, "I shot and killed myself."

Xie Wen took a deep look at him: "It has been a hundred years since you have been kind to civil servants. After you ascended the throne, you have broken this regulation and ancestral precepts many times. I thought it would be beneficial for you to be more fearful by the officials of the central government. The turmoil is severe, and the criticism will be rampant."

"If he doesn't die, the faction behind him will never know how to restrain himself. I didn't pull them out in one fell swoop this time. I just thought that there is no one in the southwest. Without this group of moth gangsters, I can't control the overall situation."

"Damaged your reputation." Xie Wen said, "In the future, you can send a minister to do this kind of thing, and then you can punish it at will. The emperor is the sword holder, how can he do this sword himself."

"Students know."

After Xiao Xuanqian finished his answer, he looked at the other person's face under the candlelight, and suddenly remembered that when he was the crown prince in charge of the country in Kyoto, Xie Wen also happened to turn from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. He was the sharpest and most bloodthirsty sword , Never caring about the gossip about treacherous and favored ministers.

There was a sting in his throat, and a pain as dense as a needle pricked in his heart. Thinking of what he had done in the capital, he suddenly fell silent, and raised his hand to press his forehead.

"I know it's not that you haven't learned it." Xie Wen said slowly, "It's just that you are too willful. You don't care about the reputation of future generations, and you also rely on your status. You must frighten this group of people."

"teacher……"

Xie Wen blew on the lamp, and there was the rustling sound of fabric rubbing in the darkness. He lay down on the bed, closed his eyes and said, "Stop talking. I'll give you the Golden Wrong Knife tomorrow. Go back to Beijing."

Xiao Xuanqian was still dreaming of an "ordinary couple", but he was awakened by these words, and he was not even sleepy anymore. He approached him anxiously from behind, touched the other's shoulder in the dark, and lifted Xie Wen lightly. Gently pulled over, the two of them faced each other in the dark, neither of them could see each other clearly, but because of the intertwined breathing, there was an illusion of closeness.

Xiao Xuanqian's heart was beating like a drum, and the panic of being driven away suddenly engulfed his rationality, and even his breathing showed uneasiness, and he said in a low voice, pleadingly: "No."

He paused for a moment, then repeated earnestly: "I'm not going back."

Xie Wen said: "A group of courtiers are waiting for you to return to Beijing. How long can the central affairs wait? I can't stand your delay."

"I..." Xiao Xuanqian gritted his teeth, he really had no choice but to blurt out authentically, "Teacher is the emperor, let me be the queen, okay?"

This is really what His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince can say.Xie Wen was suddenly laughed out of anger, he raised his hand to hook the other party's chin, his breath intertwined very closely, just when Xiao Xuanqian thought the other party was going to raise his head and kiss him, the teacher suddenly let go, turned his back to him, Said: "I think it's beautiful."

Xiao Xuanqian: "..."

He wrapped one arm from behind, put it on the back of Xie Wen's hand, lay down next to him, and said sullenly: "Without you, I don't want to do it anymore."

"……To shut up."

The author has something to say: You are such a clever little ghost.
