The third year after the death of the emperor

When the Jin people were in turmoil, the bronze mirror was broken, and the husband and wife each held one half as a token of reunion.The token of reunion after a broken mirror is for meeting again, not for regretting one's mistakes.

Xie Wen was hugged too tightly by him, raised her hand and grabbed Xiao Xuanqian's wrist and moved it down a little bit, and replied: "Sometimes human retribution comes early, and sometimes it comes late. You want everything, and I am just a part of everything. And All I want is the freedom to leave anyone, including you."

This is exactly what you are not allowed to do.

Xiao Xuanqian's hand was removed by him, and in the end he only held onto his sleeve lightly. He never showed any signs of being injured, but at this moment, he couldn't help showing confusion and dejection.

Xiao Xuanqian slowly let go of his fingers, and he stared at Xie Wen.

The light blue coat was draped over the teacher's body, like a furnace of light smoke that would burn out.Before this, he had never imagined what it would be like if Xie Huaiyu left him.But in the past three years, I have tasted it skin-to-skin.

The night was as cold as water, Xie Wen accompanied his disciple out of the palace, and walked in Ziwei Palace for a while, he really wanted to stay away from Xiao Xuanqian, but he knew very well - if he was too far away, the little emperor would be anxious Uneasy, I will try to pull him back to my side.

He didn't want to waste the effort.

When he returned to the emperor's bedroom, Jian Fengzhi, who was arranged in the side hall, had already fallen asleep. In the past, more than a dozen attendants waited for orders, but they were not there tonight. The huge palace seemed lonely, and only Cui Sheng was still guarding outside the curtain. with.

There is a screen and a bead curtain between the sleeping hall and the front.Xiao Xuanqian told him that he wanted him to live in the palace for a while, and said that he wanted to make himself feel at ease, otherwise he would not be able to manage state affairs—he seemed to realize that in the teacher's heart, this family, country, and world were much more important than him.

Xie Wen didn't make a statement, he silently watched the other party treat him as before, as if the disputes and differences on the road between the two had never happened.It seems that the old general Zhou who died on the way back to his hometown can be resurrected from the dead, and the eldest princess Zhaoyang who has been lingering in the bed can come back to life... It seems that he has not been pinned down on the dragon couch by this obedient man like a puppy in front of him, almost by him……

Xie Wen closed his eyes, he raised his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, he thought, I am really a failed book traveler, I clearly know all the answers, but the more I do, the more mistakes I make.

Tong Tong, who had been silent all this time, appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help saying: "You are the smartest host I have ever seen, but you are too emotional, why do you have to help him, just because he is pitiful?"

Xie Wen told her: "Because I was too arrogant, I thought this was my mission, it was a game, I could change the fate of others without authorization, I thought I was the hero who saved others."

He paused, and continued in his heart: "But I'm not."

Tong Tong was silent for a while, and she sighed: "You know his original ending. The most tragic and terrifying villain in the whole book, directly and indirectly caused the tragedy of many people. He was born with the death of his mother and concubine. Being bullied, his biological father and brothers all died in his hands... You see, no matter how you teach, the country is easy to change, and the nature is hard to change. He is such a person. You let him be a wise king and pave the way for him. The road, the stability of the court, the retreat after success, and the only identity of the emperor teacher who can deter and control him are buried in the ground, but he will not be the kind of person you want after all."

"It's because I am too arrogant to change him according to my own preferences." Xie Wen said, "In the past few years, I have been thinking about how I changed not only the plot, but also other people's lives...why am I so arrogant? Think I can end this established tragedy?"

Tongtong said: "You are really the person I have seen who loves to reflect on himself the most. Do you know that you will look like a holy father?"

"Thank you for your compliment. Who wouldn't want to meet a few more holy fathers in their lives." Xie Wen said, "Describe me so well, I can't let you restart the system."

"You have already escaped after completing the task of supporting the enthronement. Don't worry about me." Tong Tong said, "Restarting the system requires the kindness of the protagonist in this world. You have turned Xiao Jiu into the protagonist, and you can get kindness from him. I'm crazy to think...and you don't go back to modern times, will you choose to go back when I reboot?"

Xie Wen said helplessly: "If you restart it, I might go back. Although I had a car accident, I may not be missing arms or legs over there."

He paused for a while, and Tong Tong's voice suddenly paused for a moment, and they both thought at the same time - wouldn't returning to modern times be the most thorough way to escape?

"Xiao Jiu's kind thoughts..." Tongtong murmured in a low voice, "How is that possible?"

Xie Wen didn't answer.

As the night was getting darker, Xiao Xuanqian seemed to have a good sense of not sleeping on the same bed with him, which reassured Xie Wen a lot. He had a conditioned physical resistance to Xiao Jiu.But when the sky was turning white, Xie Wen was awakened by Tongtong's chanting in her head, and when she looked up, she saw a touch of red-gold clothes.

The imperial clothes of this world are interwoven with red gold.Xie Wen looked over from the corner of his clothes, Xiao Xuanqian, who had kept a safe distance, sat by his bed at some point, buried his head on the edge of the bed.

Tongtong muttered: "Do you think he has kind thoughts for you?"

Xie Wen said softly: "I don't know."

The candle has long been extinguished, and with the cold moon shining outside the window, only the blurred brows of the other party can be seen.Only when he was asleep, Xiao Xuanqian would appear so obedient and harmless.Xie Wen stared at him for a while, then raised her hand subconsciously, wanting to touch his hair.

It used to be like this.The little emperor had no one to rely on when he was young, and after worshiping him as his teacher, he always came to him in the middle of the night. He always had a way to avoid others' eyes and ears. At first, he sat by his own door all night.Later he found out that when Xiao Xuanqian was allowed to come in, this person had to sleep with him, and he used many allusions about the relationship between teachers and students in history to express his respect and admiration for his teacher.

Xie Wen really thought that she could be a hero who changed the tragedy.

His hand rested next to Xiao Xuanqian's hair, and then put his fingers back together... When Xie Wen wanted to get close to him, he would always be stabbed by him, people should have a long memory.

But before he could let go of his hand, it was suddenly grabbed.Xiao Xuanqian's palm completely wrapped him, Xie Wen's arms were pulled over, and her cold and soft lips were pressed against her.

The little emperor kissed his hand and said in a low voice, "Teacher, do you have no feelings for me at all?"

The sleeves slipped off, and the tooth marks on his wrists were clear, and he was branded with an indelible scar.Xiao Xuanqian rubbed his wrist with his fingertips: "Didn't you say that no matter what I do, you will stand by my side?"

"I was wrong." Xie Wen withdrew his hand a little bit, "I thought you were asleep, liar."

"I also thought the teacher would touch me." Xiao Xuanqian made a remark that he didn't know whether he was more like a wolf or a dog, "You...you can lie to me, it's okay."

He insisted on keeping Xie Wen's hand, just like a very cold person encountering a fire, even if it is a hallucinatory fire, he is not willing to lose it.

Xie Wen looked at him, waited patiently for him to calm down, and then said, "Where did you lock Zhou Mian?"

The little emperor, who was wagging his tail and begging for mercy just now, suddenly froze, and the atmosphere was tense with naked eyes. His rejection of Zhou Mian was written all over his face. He licked his molars, and then said solemnly: "If it wasn't for the fear of adding more troubles in your eyes If I made a mistake, I would have already suffered from his cramps, and would I stay in Beijing to be his general?"

"This is the responsibility of defending the capital, and you deliberately gave him such a responsibility." Xie Wen said, "Control him in the palm of your hand, and show the illusion that you don't care. You are getting better and better."

This is a compliment, right?Xiao Xuanqian thought hesitantly, he looked at Xie Wen, wanted to look at Xie Wen for a while, and wanted to get a little affirmation from the other party's expression, but there was only silence in the teacher's eyes.

"Let me guess." Xie Wen said, "You locked him in a secret prison."

Xiao Xuanqian's Adam's apple moved, and he said slowly: "Yes."

"I built that place," Xie Wen looked at him. "Many royal relatives and disloyal ministers were imprisoned in it. When I tried and executed and approved each secret report, you stood by my side... I didn't teach I’ve never imprisoned the orphan of a loyal minister like this.”

Xiao Xuanqian heard him mention Old General Zhou, even though he didn't know his fault, he also knew not to speak in this part, he didn't want to make Xie Wen unhappy.

"You threatened me with Jian Fengzhi and Zhou Mian." Xie Wen narrated softly, "You learned something I didn't teach."

Xiao Xuanqian was silent for a while, and then said: "I can't lose you anymore."

"I'm going to see him."

"No." Xiao Xuanqian blurted out without thinking, "It is impossible for me to let you see him, unless it is to see his corpse."

Xie Wen had long expected such a reply: "Can I see my dead body?"

Xiao Xuanqian was shocked.He stared blankly at Xie Wen, as if he hadn't recovered yet, his knuckles were clenched tightly, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and his breathing suddenly became heavy, as if a heavy stone was pressed in his lungs.

Xie Wen looked at him quietly, thinking in her heart that she didn't know what it was like-it turned out that one day her life could become a bargaining chip to make a request, instead of a thorn in the emperor's heart, like a thorn in the throat, a dilemma.

Xiao Xuanqian was silent for a while, he had just erected the thorns all over his body, and his whole body's momentum was slumped. He buried his head and leaned against Xie Wen's side, and said depressingly: "Teacher...don't treat me like this, don't treat me like this."

"I have to confirm his safety, so you can threaten me with other people's lives." Xie Wen's voice was very soft, "Xiao Xuanqian."

The little emperor, who was only sitting by his bed, stood up suddenly, took off his robe, bent down and hugged Xie Wen, and only after touching the real temperature did he ease his fear of "farewell".Xiao Xuanqian hugged him tightly, not letting the other party break free, and waited until his heartbeat calmed down before saying: "Okay."

He paused, and then confirmed: "I'll go with you."

Xie Wen naturally wouldn't refuse his approach at this time, if he provoked the little wolf cub, he didn't want to be bitten again: "I want Jian Fengzhi to follow me, the one you locked under my nose."

The little emperor was silent for a while, as if he was aggrieved, he said in a low voice: "...OK."

"Tomorrow." Xie Wen continued to negotiate.

"Well, tomorrow." The little emperor added additional conditions to this last step of concession, "I will let people follow you."

Xie Wen was noncommittal about this.

Under the moonlight, the jade lion kept in the Qingyu Temple ran out at some point. It wobbled its big fluffy tail, stepped on the small meat pad, and lay quietly on the inner corner of the screen. Run's cat eyes looked at the two of them.

Thanks to Xiao Xuanqian's order, there were no extra attendants in the bedroom to watch over tonight, so the Jade Lion could pass without hindrance.It seemed to know that the two people over there had raised it, and in an inexplicable satisfaction, it curled up and lay down and fell asleep.
