History of Yongwu
Chapter 83 Du Xuetang--Chapter of the Prince's Mansion: Proclamation
Shh... the carriage stopped, King Jin woke him up by shaking him lightly, and pulled him out of the carriage.Stepping out of the car door, the cold wind blew, and he shivered from the cold.The vermilion gate was open, King Jin was walking in front, Du Xuetang looked at the person in front of him, suddenly he didn't want to step into Prince Jin's mansion.
Seeing him stop, King Jin also stopped and stretched out his hand to help him pull up the cloak, "It's cold, please be careful"
"Well, my lord..." also.
King Jin didn't hear his words, he frowned tightly, and quickly entered the mansion, Du Xuetang followed silently with his head bowed, only when he came back to his senses did he realize that he had followed in Prince Jin's courtyard.
"I··"
"You can continue to sleep here." King Jin didn't mind, and said to him, "I have something to do."
King Jin's expression didn't change much, he seemed concerned but also casually said, Du Xuetang hesitated for a while, and really got into King Jin's room to sleep.
He fell asleep and realized that King Jin never showed up, he only saw people coming and going to the study in a hurry, it was getting dark, and it was time to light the lamps, according to the rules of the palace, he should go.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, Du Xuetang thought about King Jin's instructions during the day, tightened his cloak, and followed Cui'er to the back garden.
"Master Xue... Mr. Xue" Xiao Fuzi ran over, stopped him and said, "Master Xue, the lord asked the servants to tell you that from today on you will live with the lord, and you can come in and out freely."
"Eunuch Fu, does it also include... the prince's study?"
"It should be..." Xiao Fuzi was also not sure, looked at him and asked again, "Master Xue, do you have something to fetch, I will order someone to bring it."
"Don't bother Eunuch Fu anymore," Du Xuetang said with a smile.
My lord, thank you for trusting me at such a time!
Prince Jin's mansion is as calm as water, only Prince Jin and the small study are busy. Du Xuetang hasn't seen Prince Jin at all for several days, and he hasn't even looked at him from a distance. When Prince Jin wants to avoid something on purpose, he can do it Perfect.
So, why keep me here!
"Master?" Tweety called out when she saw him in a daze.
"Ok?"
"My lord... don't believe the rumors outside, the prince must be thinking about you"
Seeing him depressed, Cui'er comforted him, but Du Xuetang was taken aback by his inexplicable words, and asked with a frown, "What rumor?"
"It's nothing." Cui'er scolded herself for talking too much, "Sir, don't think too much about it."
"What's the matter?" Du Xuetang was worried about King Jin.
"That's it...that's it" Cui'er looked at Du Xuetang's increasingly serious face, gritted her teeth and said, "I heard that the prince and a group of noble sons are hanging around in Huajie Liuxiang recently."
Du Xuetang's expression changed and he remained silent. Seeing this, Cui'er hurried forward and said, "They must be spreading nonsense, the lord won't."
The crime of disrespect hangs on King Jin's head, how could King Jin have the heart to stay in love with the brothel, there must be some unspeakable secret, Du Xuetang felt uneasy in his heart, and was even more worried.
He looked out the window, but couldn't find anyone.Lord, I miss you a little bit.
study
Du Xuetang watched Xiao Fuzi leave, and approached cautiously, the night was already very dark, the room was too dark to see clearly, but a slight snoring sound could be heard.
In front of the soft couch, Du Xuetang slowly squatted down, slightly approaching the sleeping King Jin.I haven't seen him for a few days, King Jin has lost some weight, with stubble on his chin, frowning but sleeping deeply.
The official documents on the table were messy, and the time for Du Qing to send troops must be inside, but he didn't have time to read them.
"Prince" Du Xuetang rested his forehead on the soft couch, "Is it because I got angry with you before that you are so busy?"
There was silence everywhere, no one answered, only the sound of King Jin's breathing, Du Xuetang sat on the footstool with his back against King Jin, the clear moon shone in through the window, showing King Jin and his shadow.
"My lord, let's make up"
Du Xuetang whispered something in King Jin's ear, and left the study.
"Eunuch Fu, when will the prince come back?"
"My lord, how can this servant know, just wait a little longer." Xiao Fuzi looked at him in embarrassment, and saluted and left.
"Hey!" Du Xuetang frowned, and said to Cui'er, "Go and look at the door, if you see the prince, tell me immediately."
"Yes" Tweety ran out quickly.
In the afternoon, Cui'er ran back quickly, and shouted before entering the courtyard, "Young master, the prince is back!"
"Um"
Du Xuetang stood up with a look of joy, but then hesitated again, but he was more timid when he was close to the nostalgia.
Outside the door of the study, Du Xuetang calmed down, and gently opened the door. There was no sound in the room. He walked in strangely, and saw King Jin falling asleep on the table.
"Lord Prince"
Hmm... King Jin snorted softly, sat up and saw him surprised, "Why are you here?"
Did King Jin forget himself?Du Xuetang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My lord forgot, you let Xuetang live here, come and go as you please"
"I haven't forgotten, I just asked you what you are doing here, why don't you go to the back garden to relax?" King Jin explained with a smile.
"Is your lord busy?"
"New Year is a bit busy, don't worry, it's fine"
King Jin still smiled, but always felt a little cold and alienated, as if he was in a hurry to avoid himself, Du Xuetang fell silent.
"If you think the back garden is boring, you can ask Xiaofuzi to find a troupe or something else to have fun in the mansion, but it's been too cold recently, you must not go out of the mansion, lest you freeze to death."
"Yes"
"You go to another place for a stroll. This king's place is very chaotic, and there is no place to rest. I will come to you after I finish my work for a while."
But I don't think you will come back to look for me again, the door was gently closed, Du Xuetang stood outside the door, the bright winter sun shone on his body, dispelling the chill, just like the smile of King Jin.
cough cough cough
Du Xuetang quickly withdrew his step, looked for the voice and pushed the door in desperately.
"Why are you back again? Is there something else?" King Jin's face was still a little red, because of the previous cough.
"My lord, can I stay here with you?"
King Jin froze there, even the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, Du Xuetang pursed his lips and whispered, "I can help the prince clean up the room"
Pfft... King Jin chuckled twice, agreed to him, Du Xuetang sat on the soft couch, King Jin looked down at the official documents, the sun was shining on him, he was serious and gentle.
Du Xuetang thought that slowly, he and King Jin would be able to reconcile, but soon... something happened!
"This is not to drive you away, but to let you go to another place to play, and you will come back after a few days." King Jin suppressed his anger and eased his voice.
Du Xuetang looked at his flickering eyes with fear in his heart, lifted his robe and knelt down straight, looking up at King Jin.
"The prince promised me that if the prince wants to break his promise, he will kill me."
King Jin frowned, his expression gradually became serious, Du Xuetang's anxiety gradually increased, and just as he was about to say something to stop King Jin, Eunuch Fu suddenly barged in.
"The Empress Dowager Calls the Prince into the Palace to Taste Tea"
The room fell silent, King Jin's expression returned to normal, as calm as Xiyuan without waves.
"Prepare the car and enter the palace"
King Jin ignored him and walked away. Du Xuetang looked at his back, with his back straight facing the sun, but why did he always look so alone!
King Jin left, Du Xuetang was still kneeling there, he didn't understand what he was insisting on, anyway he didn't want to wake up if he didn't see King Jin.
"Master Xue, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zhiping looked at him seriously.
"I'm waiting for the prince to come back"
Du Xuetang knew that Zhao Zhiping didn't like him, and had already told King Jin countless times, so since Mr. Zhao valued him so much, did it mean that King Jin was very important to him.
"Wait for the lord to come back?" Zhao Zhiping muttered, frowning and said, "Young Master Xue, hurry up and pack your things, maybe we have to leave the palace."
"why?"
"This is the king's order"
Du Xuetang lowered his head again, and said stubbornly, "I want to wait for the lord..."
"Young Master" Zhao Zhiping interrupted, and said dryly, "Your Highness has his own arrangements, Mr. Xue should make preparations earlier, be careful if you are late."
That year, Du Xuetang hadn't entered the power field, and he didn't understand the metaphors in Zhao Zhiping's words, and he couldn't understand the dangers in Jin Wang's official documents. He vaguely knew that there was something bad, but he didn't understand what it was.
He knelt for a long time that day, until he lost all feeling in his knees, and finally waited for King Jin. Du Xuetang remembered that King Jin was standing at the door stepping on the warm sun, his face was still tired, but he was much lighter.
"...It must be that this king broke his promises and deeds! Mr. Xue can show his face!"
King Jin was full of helplessness, Du Xuetang suddenly felt aggrieved, fell into King Jin's arms when he got up, and the grievance was gone.
"With this king's face, there are very few people who can't stand it. You are one of them, and you can be regarded as capable. Xiao Fuzi is called a doctor." Jin Wang put him on the soft couch and ordered.
The doctor came and left, and Eunuch Fu also retreated. Only the sleeping King Jin and Du Xuetang were left in the room. Du Xuetang tilted his head to look at the sleeping King Jin, and smiled sweetly.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, as long as it's always like this, it's good.
In the middle of the night, after Jin Wang finished his meal, he stood by the window, wondering what he was thinking in a daze. Du Xuetang looked at him from behind, feeling a sense of vigilance in his heart.
"My lord, do you still want to go to the study?"
"Do you want me to go or not?"
These words are a bit familiar, but King Jin doesn't seem so disappointed anymore, Du Xuetang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at King Jin's expression.
"Xuetang is just asking"
Hehe... King Jin smiled in relief, turned around and left and said, "I'm not going, I've thought about it, and it's not too late."
What does it mean!
Du Xuetang sat there in embarrassment, Jin Wang's thoughts were too hard to guess, especially when the prince was as calm as water, he sat there pondering for a while, suddenly his face blushed, and he ran into the house quickly.
"You're sleepy! Go to sleep." King Jin patted his head.
Du Xuetang thought about the attention he had figured out just now, blushed and avoided King Jin's eyes and said, "I sat there and slept for a while in the afternoon, and I wasn't sleepy."
Hehe... King Jin smiled but didn't say anything, Du Xuetang pursed his lips, and leaned forward, "Did you dream of Xuetang, my lord?"
King Jin glanced at him, but still didn't mean to answer, Du Xuetang looked at him and remembered those dreams "I dreamed about the prince"
"Is that the day you had the nightmare?"
Xuetang, why are you lying to me!King Jin covered in blood was still in front of his eyes, Du Xuetang trembled subconsciously.
"This king shouldn't mention this, stop thinking about it and go to sleep!" King Jin hurriedly comforted him, and turned off the lights to help him stretch the quilt.
The night covered up his panic, Du Xuetang calmed down, listening to King Jin's slow breathing, turned around and hugged King Jin.In the dark, he couldn't see King Jin's expression, he could only feel the kiss that King Jin landed on him, hot and eager.
My lord, we are reconciled!
If everything ended here, he and King Jin might have lived like this forever, but when he cleared the fog and finally had the courage to face it, Du Qing, the person who haunted him all his life, reappeared.
City God Temple
"You defied me." Du Qing's eyes twitched, he had already lost two chances to march for no reason.
Du Xuetang looked at Du Qing who was jumping over the wall in a hurry, and suddenly realized that he had been stupid all along. If he hadn't just held him, he wouldn't even be able to touch King Jin's clothes. So is he really a disaster to King Jin?
"Master Hou, I don't believe you"
Hehe... Du Qing lowered his eyelids, his eyes were violent, but he knew clearly in his heart, since Du Xuetang could say this, it meant that he at least didn't dare to die.
"What do you want?"
"I want to know all the plans of Lord Hou, every detail." Du Xuetang looked at him indifferently, "Only by knowing everything can I dare to believe and protect myself."
"What? Isn't it to save your sweetheart?" Du Qing sneered.
"Hou Ye" Du Xuetang said frankly, "I do like King Jin, but I understand that I can't afford it. Compared to leaving all of this, liking is not that important."
"Okay." Du Qing's eyes lit up, and he found something.Du Xuetang, your disguise is too shallow, you have already betrayed yourself.
Although Du Qing was wishful thinking, what would happen to him and Prince Jin? The carriage shook slightly. Du Xuetang looked at Prince Jin's mansion not far away, and tightly held the peace talisman in his palm.
"Master Xue, you are back. The prince knows that you have gone out and is angry in the room?" Xiao Fuzi came up to meet him.
On the contrary, Du Xuetang smiled happily, pushed open the door of the small room, King Jin was sitting there with a book in his hand, he gave him a sideways glance and said nothing.
It's pissed off!Du Xuetang understood, walked up to him with a smile, "My lord, I'm back"
King Jin put down the book, and Du Xuetang saw the deeply recessed fingerprints on the page. King Jin was really worried about him. Fortunately, he didn't confront Du Qing head-on, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back.
"Where have you been?"
“Walk around outside the house”
"Walk around casually." King Jin frowned, looked at him dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you not to go out?"
"The prince also said that the guards stopped me from entering, why are you still angry?"
Du Xuetang leaned forward and reached out to touch King Jin's brow. King Jin probably didn't expect him to push back, so he frowned even tighter, looking at him not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's annoying the prince. It's too boring to be in the mansion in winter, so I went out. Don't be angry, the prince."
Du Xuetang leaned against his chest, King Jin paused for a moment, then relaxed his body and hugged him, and kissed him on the top of the head.
"Forget it this time, there will never be a next time"
"My lord, I will never go out again"
Just stay here, stay by your side, maybe I will never have to think about Du Qing again.
King Jin looked down at him, patted his head and said, "How can I stay in the palace forever, wait...wait"
Du Xuetang didn't make a sound, King Jin hugged him and lay down, gently caressing his back, the incense wafted, he was a little sleepy, and when he was half asleep, he heard King Jin say beside him, "Next time you If you want to go out again, you are not allowed to sneak away, you must tell this king."
"Hmm..." Du Xuetang grabbed King Jin's lapel, his voice low and inaudible.Lord, there is Du Qing outside, I don't want to go out at all!
New Year, since that year Du Xuetang didn't pay attention to this festival, but King Jin rushed back from the front yard excitedly, insisting on dragging him out of the mansion, saying that he wanted to celebrate a normal New Year.
The streets of the capital were crowded with people, he looked at the comings and goings, and was a little worried, "My lord, there are only two of us, what should we do if we are in danger?"
King Jin didn't speak, but with excitement hidden in his eyes, he took his hand and looked at him very seriously.
"Xuetang, I want to spend the New Year with you, okay?"
"Okay, my lord, I want to go there and have a look."
Du Xuetang suddenly understood King Jin's thoughts. For a moment, he felt that Du Qing, barbarians, and even lies were not important. He wanted to deceive himself once, no status, no deception, just hold the hands of the people around him and take a tour This bustling capital city.
That day, he kept holding King Jin's hand tightly. King Jin really grew up in the deep palace, and he didn't know how to buy anything at all. They were all useless things, but he and King Jin were very happy.
King Jin also built a snowman for him. After many years, the snowman he managed to own was crooked, but Du Xuetang looked at the limping snowman and thought it was cute for no reason.
This was Du Xuetang's last good time when he was 19 years old. Everything that happened after that happened so quickly that people were caught off guard.
In the first month of the seventh year of Yonghe, Beihu occupied Mutuo City by force, and 20 Chen soldiers were in the north. Pingbei General Jin Wangyu led his army to attack Hulu.
In the early morning, Du Xuetang fastened the button for King Jin. He fastened it very slowly, as if he could leave King Jin alone. After buttoning up, cloak and bun, he finally had nothing to do but stand Looking at King Jin from the side.
Master Wang was going on an expedition, Du Xuetang couldn't stand at the main gate of the palace to see him off, King Jin stepped out of the courtyard and officially parted.
The snowflakes were falling, and there were no flowers, flowers, willows and greens in the yard. King Jin's cloak swayed behind him. Du Xuetang stood at the window and looked at his back, as if in a dream, wanting to reach out and grab it.
But it was useless, he stretched out his hand, Jin Wang came back to him like a wind, and smiled at him lightly, Du Xuetang was dazzled by his smile, this must be the gentlest time Jin Wang smiled at him.
"The matter you asked during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have thought it through clearly."
"My lord..." Du Xuetang stopped in a low voice, he felt that he might betray his heart.
"This king should like you"
Even though maybe he shouldn't listen, he still couldn't help being happy in his heart, just like Du Xuetang's countless fantasies, joy swirls from the bottom of his heart up to every part of his body.
"As for your answer, I will listen to you when I come back."
After King Jin finished speaking, he grabbed the cloak and turned around to leave. Du Xuetang watched the figure disappear suddenly, and grabbed it subconsciously.
"My lord, wait a minute..."
I can tell you right now that I like you, like you a lot, from the first time I saw you.
King Jin's eyes were bright, and Du Xuetang was suddenly a little timid. If the truth were revealed, would King Jin take that phrase of liking as a lie?
"This is the peace amulet I asked for from the temple"
King Jin held the peace talisman, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile, "In the past, every time Wang Meng set out on an expedition, his wife would give him one. Now this king also has one. You don't have to envy General Wang. Thank you."
The figure completely disappeared, Du Xuetang touched his forehead, the kiss that Prince Jin landed there seemed to be still burning him, what do you mean by that last sentence.
My lord, please come back safely. I sincerely hope that the little peace talisman can protect you and return to me. Listen to my answer.
Qi Feng Restaurant
Du Qing looked at Du Xuetang who came as promised, and smiled triumphantly, "Where's the thing?"
"Master Hou, you broke your promise." Du Xuetang's expression was not good, "Why do you think I will help you?" The Hu people's New Year's rebellion was not planned, Du Qing deliberately moved ahead of schedule, just to force himself.
"Hehe, Du Xuetang, don't you wonder why I dared to break my promise and why dared to force you?"
"why?"
Du Qing smiled coldly, a trace of uneasiness in Du Xuetang's heart grew, as if Du Qing's next words would ruin everything.
"Because you like King Jin so much." Du Xuetang's face turned pale, and Du Qing looked at him slightly and said, "So you dare not let King Jin know the truth. Mr. Du and the barbarians have already gone south. As long as King Jin knows that you are mine, You will never be able to get rid of it, King Jin will hate you forever, forever!!"
The stool was knocked down, Du Xuetang took a step back, and finally understood what he had been anxious about all this time, he didn't want King Jin to know that he was a liar and approached him on purpose, he didn't want to see King Jin hear the truth.
"Do you want to try?" Du Qing asked.
"Hou Ye" Du Xuetang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Where is King Jin?"
"The army will arrive in Xuancheng in three days"
"Your Majesty is waiting"
Du Xuetang threw down a sentence, turned around and left, three days, so if the information is sent out now, Qingqi can be sent to Hu Jing in two days, when the Hu people went south, King Jin was not in Xuancheng.
Du Qing watched him get in the car and leave, and then there was a gloomy complacency on his lips, Du Xuetang and Benhou didn't let you get away, so you had to stay in the bureau, Benhou said you were still young.
Du Xuetang hadn't led the army to fight that year, so he didn't understand that Xuancheng was attacked, and the army was bound to move in a hurry. On the day Du Qing saw him, King Jin happened to arrive in Xuancheng.
Just like what Du Qing said, he was indeed too young, young enough to be what King Jin liked, but he hurt King Jin.
Seeing him stop, King Jin also stopped and stretched out his hand to help him pull up the cloak, "It's cold, please be careful"
"Well, my lord..." also.
King Jin didn't hear his words, he frowned tightly, and quickly entered the mansion, Du Xuetang followed silently with his head bowed, only when he came back to his senses did he realize that he had followed in Prince Jin's courtyard.
"I··"
"You can continue to sleep here." King Jin didn't mind, and said to him, "I have something to do."
King Jin's expression didn't change much, he seemed concerned but also casually said, Du Xuetang hesitated for a while, and really got into King Jin's room to sleep.
He fell asleep and realized that King Jin never showed up, he only saw people coming and going to the study in a hurry, it was getting dark, and it was time to light the lamps, according to the rules of the palace, he should go.
Snowflakes were falling in the sky, Du Xuetang thought about King Jin's instructions during the day, tightened his cloak, and followed Cui'er to the back garden.
"Master Xue... Mr. Xue" Xiao Fuzi ran over, stopped him and said, "Master Xue, the lord asked the servants to tell you that from today on you will live with the lord, and you can come in and out freely."
"Eunuch Fu, does it also include... the prince's study?"
"It should be..." Xiao Fuzi was also not sure, looked at him and asked again, "Master Xue, do you have something to fetch, I will order someone to bring it."
"Don't bother Eunuch Fu anymore," Du Xuetang said with a smile.
My lord, thank you for trusting me at such a time!
Prince Jin's mansion is as calm as water, only Prince Jin and the small study are busy. Du Xuetang hasn't seen Prince Jin at all for several days, and he hasn't even looked at him from a distance. When Prince Jin wants to avoid something on purpose, he can do it Perfect.
So, why keep me here!

Du Xuetang watched Xiao Fuzi leave, and approached cautiously, the night was already very dark, the room was too dark to see clearly, but a slight snoring sound could be heard.
In front of the soft couch, Du Xuetang slowly squatted down, slightly approaching the sleeping King Jin.I haven't seen him for a few days, King Jin has lost some weight, with stubble on his chin, frowning but sleeping deeply.

"Lord Prince"
Hmm... King Jin snorted softly, sat up and saw him surprised, "Why are you here?"
Did King Jin forget himself?Du Xuetang twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "My lord forgot, you let Xuetang live here, come and go as you please"
"I haven't forgotten, I just asked you what you are doing here, why don't you go to the back garden to relax?" King Jin explained with a smile.
"Is your lord busy?"
"New Year is a bit busy, don't worry, it's fine"
King Jin still smiled, but always felt a little cold and alienated, as if he was in a hurry to avoid himself, Du Xuetang fell silent.
"If you think the back garden is boring, you can ask Xiaofuzi to find a troupe or something else to have fun in the mansion, but it's been too cold recently, you must not go out of the mansion, lest you freeze to death."

cough cough cough
Du Xuetang quickly withdrew his step, looked for the voice and pushed the door in desperately.
"Why are you back again? Is there something else?" King Jin's face was still a little red, because of the previous cough.
"My lord, can I stay here with you?"
King Jin froze there, even the smile on the corner of his mouth froze, Du Xuetang pursed his lips and whispered, "I can help the prince clean up the room"
Pfft... King Jin chuckled twice, agreed to him, Du Xuetang sat on the soft couch, King Jin looked down at the official documents, the sun was shining on him, he was serious and gentle.

"The prince promised me that if the prince wants to break his promise, he will kill me."
King Jin frowned, his expression gradually became serious, Du Xuetang's anxiety gradually increased, and just as he was about to say something to stop King Jin, Eunuch Fu suddenly barged in.
"The Empress Dowager Calls the Prince into the Palace to Taste Tea"
The room fell silent, King Jin's expression returned to normal, as calm as Xiyuan without waves.
"Prepare the car and enter the palace"
King Jin ignored him and walked away. Du Xuetang looked at his back, with his back straight facing the sun, but why did he always look so alone!
King Jin left, Du Xuetang was still kneeling there, he didn't understand what he was insisting on, anyway he didn't want to wake up if he didn't see King Jin.
"Master Xue, what are you doing here?" Zhao Zhiping looked at him seriously.
"I'm waiting for the prince to come back"
Du Xuetang knew that Zhao Zhiping didn't like him, and had already told King Jin countless times, so since Mr. Zhao valued him so much, did it mean that King Jin was very important to him.
"Wait for the lord to come back?" Zhao Zhiping muttered, frowning and said, "Young Master Xue, hurry up and pack your things, maybe we have to leave the palace."
"why?"
"This is the king's order"
Du Xuetang lowered his head again, and said stubbornly, "I want to wait for the lord..."
"Young Master" Zhao Zhiping interrupted, and said dryly, "Your Highness has his own arrangements, Mr. Xue should make preparations earlier, be careful if you are late."

"With this king's face, there are very few people who can't stand it. You are one of them, and you can be regarded as capable. Xiao Fuzi is called a doctor." Jin Wang put him on the soft couch and ordered.
The doctor came and left, and Eunuch Fu also retreated. Only the sleeping King Jin and Du Xuetang were left in the room. Du Xuetang tilted his head to look at the sleeping King Jin, and smiled sweetly.
In fact, it doesn't matter whether you like it or not, as long as it's always like this, it's good.
In the middle of the night, after Jin Wang finished his meal, he stood by the window, wondering what he was thinking in a daze. Du Xuetang looked at him from behind, feeling a sense of vigilance in his heart.
"My lord, do you still want to go to the study?"
"Do you want me to go or not?"
These words are a bit familiar, but King Jin doesn't seem so disappointed anymore, Du Xuetang lowered his head and didn't dare to look at King Jin's expression.
"Xuetang is just asking"
Hehe... King Jin smiled in relief, turned around and left and said, "I'm not going, I've thought about it, and it's not too late."
What does it mean!
Du Xuetang sat there in embarrassment, Jin Wang's thoughts were too hard to guess, especially when the prince was as calm as water, he sat there pondering for a while, suddenly his face blushed, and he ran into the house quickly.
"You're sleepy! Go to sleep." King Jin patted his head.
Du Xuetang thought about the attention he had figured out just now, blushed and avoided King Jin's eyes and said, "I sat there and slept for a while in the afternoon, and I wasn't sleepy."
Hehe... King Jin smiled but didn't say anything, Du Xuetang pursed his lips, and leaned forward, "Did you dream of Xuetang, my lord?"
King Jin glanced at him, but still didn't mean to answer, Du Xuetang looked at him and remembered those dreams "I dreamed about the prince"
"Is that the day you had the nightmare?"
Xuetang, why are you lying to me!King Jin covered in blood was still in front of his eyes, Du Xuetang trembled subconsciously.
"This king shouldn't mention this, stop thinking about it and go to sleep!" King Jin hurriedly comforted him, and turned off the lights to help him stretch the quilt.
The night covered up his panic, Du Xuetang calmed down, listening to King Jin's slow breathing, turned around and hugged King Jin.In the dark, he couldn't see King Jin's expression, he could only feel the kiss that King Jin landed on him, hot and eager.
My lord, we are reconciled!
If everything ended here, he and King Jin might have lived like this forever, but when he cleared the fog and finally had the courage to face it, Du Qing, the person who haunted him all his life, reappeared.
City God Temple
"You defied me." Du Qing's eyes twitched, he had already lost two chances to march for no reason.
Du Xuetang looked at Du Qing who was jumping over the wall in a hurry, and suddenly realized that he had been stupid all along. If he hadn't just held him, he wouldn't even be able to touch King Jin's clothes. So is he really a disaster to King Jin?
"Master Hou, I don't believe you"
Hehe... Du Qing lowered his eyelids, his eyes were violent, but he knew clearly in his heart, since Du Xuetang could say this, it meant that he at least didn't dare to die.
"What do you want?"
"I want to know all the plans of Lord Hou, every detail." Du Xuetang looked at him indifferently, "Only by knowing everything can I dare to believe and protect myself."
"What? Isn't it to save your sweetheart?" Du Qing sneered.
"Hou Ye" Du Xuetang said frankly, "I do like King Jin, but I understand that I can't afford it. Compared to leaving all of this, liking is not that important."
"Okay." Du Qing's eyes lit up, and he found something.Du Xuetang, your disguise is too shallow, you have already betrayed yourself.
Although Du Qing was wishful thinking, what would happen to him and Prince Jin? The carriage shook slightly. Du Xuetang looked at Prince Jin's mansion not far away, and tightly held the peace talisman in his palm.
"Master Xue, you are back. The prince knows that you have gone out and is angry in the room?" Xiao Fuzi came up to meet him.
On the contrary, Du Xuetang smiled happily, pushed open the door of the small room, King Jin was sitting there with a book in his hand, he gave him a sideways glance and said nothing.
It's pissed off!Du Xuetang understood, walked up to him with a smile, "My lord, I'm back"
King Jin put down the book, and Du Xuetang saw the deeply recessed fingerprints on the page. King Jin was really worried about him. Fortunately, he didn't confront Du Qing head-on, otherwise he wouldn't be able to come back.
"Where have you been?"
“Walk around outside the house”
"Walk around casually." King Jin frowned, looked at him dissatisfied and said, "Didn't I tell you not to go out?"
"The prince also said that the guards stopped me from entering, why are you still angry?"
Du Xuetang leaned forward and reached out to touch King Jin's brow. King Jin probably didn't expect him to push back, so he frowned even tighter, looking at him not knowing what he was thinking.
"It's annoying the prince. It's too boring to be in the mansion in winter, so I went out. Don't be angry, the prince."
Du Xuetang leaned against his chest, King Jin paused for a moment, then relaxed his body and hugged him, and kissed him on the top of the head.
"Forget it this time, there will never be a next time"
"My lord, I will never go out again"
Just stay here, stay by your side, maybe I will never have to think about Du Qing again.
King Jin looked down at him, patted his head and said, "How can I stay in the palace forever, wait...wait"
Du Xuetang didn't make a sound, King Jin hugged him and lay down, gently caressing his back, the incense wafted, he was a little sleepy, and when he was half asleep, he heard King Jin say beside him, "Next time you If you want to go out again, you are not allowed to sneak away, you must tell this king."
"Hmm..." Du Xuetang grabbed King Jin's lapel, his voice low and inaudible.Lord, there is Du Qing outside, I don't want to go out at all!
New Year, since that year Du Xuetang didn't pay attention to this festival, but King Jin rushed back from the front yard excitedly, insisting on dragging him out of the mansion, saying that he wanted to celebrate a normal New Year.
The streets of the capital were crowded with people, he looked at the comings and goings, and was a little worried, "My lord, there are only two of us, what should we do if we are in danger?"
King Jin didn't speak, but with excitement hidden in his eyes, he took his hand and looked at him very seriously.
"Xuetang, I want to spend the New Year with you, okay?"
"Okay, my lord, I want to go there and have a look."
Du Xuetang suddenly understood King Jin's thoughts. For a moment, he felt that Du Qing, barbarians, and even lies were not important. He wanted to deceive himself once, no status, no deception, just hold the hands of the people around him and take a tour This bustling capital city.
That day, he kept holding King Jin's hand tightly. King Jin really grew up in the deep palace, and he didn't know how to buy anything at all. They were all useless things, but he and King Jin were very happy.
King Jin also built a snowman for him. After many years, the snowman he managed to own was crooked, but Du Xuetang looked at the limping snowman and thought it was cute for no reason.
This was Du Xuetang's last good time when he was 19 years old. Everything that happened after that happened so quickly that people were caught off guard.
In the first month of the seventh year of Yonghe, Beihu occupied Mutuo City by force, and 20 Chen soldiers were in the north. Pingbei General Jin Wangyu led his army to attack Hulu.
In the early morning, Du Xuetang fastened the button for King Jin. He fastened it very slowly, as if he could leave King Jin alone. After buttoning up, cloak and bun, he finally had nothing to do but stand Looking at King Jin from the side.
Master Wang was going on an expedition, Du Xuetang couldn't stand at the main gate of the palace to see him off, King Jin stepped out of the courtyard and officially parted.
The snowflakes were falling, and there were no flowers, flowers, willows and greens in the yard. King Jin's cloak swayed behind him. Du Xuetang stood at the window and looked at his back, as if in a dream, wanting to reach out and grab it.
But it was useless, he stretched out his hand, Jin Wang came back to him like a wind, and smiled at him lightly, Du Xuetang was dazzled by his smile, this must be the gentlest time Jin Wang smiled at him.
"The matter you asked during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I have thought it through clearly."
"My lord..." Du Xuetang stopped in a low voice, he felt that he might betray his heart.
"This king should like you"
Even though maybe he shouldn't listen, he still couldn't help being happy in his heart, just like Du Xuetang's countless fantasies, joy swirls from the bottom of his heart up to every part of his body.
"As for your answer, I will listen to you when I come back."
After King Jin finished speaking, he grabbed the cloak and turned around to leave. Du Xuetang watched the figure disappear suddenly, and grabbed it subconsciously.
"My lord, wait a minute..."
I can tell you right now that I like you, like you a lot, from the first time I saw you.
King Jin's eyes were bright, and Du Xuetang was suddenly a little timid. If the truth were revealed, would King Jin take that phrase of liking as a lie?
"This is the peace amulet I asked for from the temple"
King Jin held the peace talisman, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly said with a smile, "In the past, every time Wang Meng set out on an expedition, his wife would give him one. Now this king also has one. You don't have to envy General Wang. Thank you."
The figure completely disappeared, Du Xuetang touched his forehead, the kiss that Prince Jin landed there seemed to be still burning him, what do you mean by that last sentence.
My lord, please come back safely. I sincerely hope that the little peace talisman can protect you and return to me. Listen to my answer.
Qi Feng Restaurant
Du Qing looked at Du Xuetang who came as promised, and smiled triumphantly, "Where's the thing?"
"Master Hou, you broke your promise." Du Xuetang's expression was not good, "Why do you think I will help you?" The Hu people's New Year's rebellion was not planned, Du Qing deliberately moved ahead of schedule, just to force himself.
"Hehe, Du Xuetang, don't you wonder why I dared to break my promise and why dared to force you?"
"why?"
Du Qing smiled coldly, a trace of uneasiness in Du Xuetang's heart grew, as if Du Qing's next words would ruin everything.
"Because you like King Jin so much." Du Xuetang's face turned pale, and Du Qing looked at him slightly and said, "So you dare not let King Jin know the truth. Mr. Du and the barbarians have already gone south. As long as King Jin knows that you are mine, You will never be able to get rid of it, King Jin will hate you forever, forever!!"
The stool was knocked down, Du Xuetang took a step back, and finally understood what he had been anxious about all this time, he didn't want King Jin to know that he was a liar and approached him on purpose, he didn't want to see King Jin hear the truth.
"Do you want to try?" Du Qing asked.
"Hou Ye" Du Xuetang raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Where is King Jin?"
"The army will arrive in Xuancheng in three days"
"Your Majesty is waiting"
Du Xuetang threw down a sentence, turned around and left, three days, so if the information is sent out now, Qingqi can be sent to Hu Jing in two days, when the Hu people went south, King Jin was not in Xuancheng.
Du Qing watched him get in the car and leave, and then there was a gloomy complacency on his lips, Du Xuetang and Benhou didn't let you get away, so you had to stay in the bureau, Benhou said you were still young.
Du Xuetang hadn't led the army to fight that year, so he didn't understand that Xuancheng was attacked, and the army was bound to move in a hurry. On the day Du Qing saw him, King Jin happened to arrive in Xuancheng.
Just like what Du Qing said, he was indeed too young, young enough to be what King Jin liked, but he hurt King Jin.
