The Prosperity of Jingdi Chronicle

Chapter 17 The heart is like a rock

There is a poem from the ancients, which perfectly describes the romantic affairs of those emperors and beauties in history: "The hibiscus tent warms the spring night...from now on, the king will not go to court early."

It's a pity that Wei Yan's appearance is really far from a beauty, otherwise, with their absurd behavior in those few days, I'm afraid the history books will add a thick stroke of beauty seducing the master, fooling the king and harming the country.

Although it is difficult to compare the appearance of a man with the beauty of a woman, but in all fairness, Wei Yan also has a well-groomed appearance, and most of the time when he is stern, he pretends to be cruel to deceive the little girl who is not experienced in the world. If you really want to get in touch with him, you will know that he is really boring. You can't get close to a certain degree, or you can't see the charm in his bones.

Although Jing Li has criticisms from time to time, he often slanders, he has made the above comments a long time ago, and sneered at the insinuation that Wei Yan invites pets with beauty. If there is no handsome guy like him, he can be called "beauty" , then the word "beauty" is a bit too cheap.

Of course, none of the above will prevent Xi Shi from being seen in the eyes of his lover. No matter how he looks at it, Wei Yan is pleasing to the eye, and he can see the fire when he looks at it. Pretending to be sick and weak on the couch, speaking softly and smiling softly, only to see him move his index finger even more.

Patience is a very beautiful quality.However, in front of Wei Yan, Jing Li's self-control has never been very good, and Wei Yan now has a request from him, so he dare not refuse at all. In this way, the two of them have really practiced it in the past few days. According to the situation described in that ancient poem, even compared to those seniors who were obsessed with beauty, Jing Li is not only a spring night every night, but also very dishonest during the day, and would roll on the couch every now and then.

Fortunately, Wei Yan was pretending to be sick. If he was really sick, after a few days, even his life would be in the hands of the emperor.Even if he is healthy and healthy, he can't bear the emperor's courtship day and night, and he is in heat all the time. He really doesn't dare to pretend to be sick anymore. He just wants to find an excuse to get up from this couch. .

But there is no turning back when you open the bow, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.At this time, even if he didn't want to continue to be sick, he couldn't help it.

The emperor turned a deaf ear to his repeated words that he was fine, and only said that he was still sick and needed to recuperate.

Doctor Tian unexpectedly learned to uphold the holy will to share the king's worries at this critical juncture, and after taking the pulse, he used words such as "illness comes like a mountain, and sickness goes like a thread" to amuse him, until he choked and said I can't speak.

There was no other way, Wei Yan could only continue to be "sick", counting the leaks with his fingers, hoping day and night that the Longevity Day would come soon.On the Longevity Day, neither the emperor nor he should be absent casually, otherwise countless people would be alarmed.The emperor understood this truth, and so did Wei Yan.

Wei Yan originally thought that the eve of the Longevity Festival would be very difficult.Given the emperor's high spirits these past few days, it was inevitable that he would have to torture him two or three times before he would give up.To his surprise, after going to bed, the emperor just kissed him and put him in his arms to sleep peacefully.

The emperor's aura gradually calmed down, but Wei Yan never felt sleepy.

That night, he thought a lot.

Many past events in his memory have long been blurred, but he still remembers some things very firmly.

Over the years, he didn't understand the emperor's feelings for him.He has said to countless people that there is no need to worry, the emperor treats him very well, but he has never said any affectionate and nasty words to the emperor.

It's not that he doesn't want to say it. It's one reason that he feels too nasty to say it. The other reason is that he thinks it's better to say it than to do it. Using those superfluous words to ensure that each other should understand each other's intentions, it just passed year after year like this.

Thinking about it now, maybe the emperor has always been very uneasy in his heart, which is why he had such an idea, and why he would go to the couch to resolve every dispute, not because of desire, but because he wanted to use this method to confirm that he was indeed In his arms.

This title is said to prevent him from being wronged, but in fact, the emperor wants a guarantee.

"Why haven't you slept yet? Go to sleep, there are a lot of things to be busy tomorrow."

In a daze, Jing Li realized that Wei Yan was still awake, muttered something, pressed the quilt on his shoulders for him, touched his shoulders again, made sure that he didn't catch cold, and then put his arms around his waist again.

Wei Yan watched him do all this with his eyes closed, not knowing what was going on, and suddenly felt a little sore in his heart, he hugged his back tightly with his backhand, and buried his head in his neck.

"what happened?"

Jing Li asked a few times, but the person in his arms didn't make a sound, but hugged him tighter and tighter.

Jing Li's drowsiness quickly disappeared. He thought that Wei Yan was annoyed by his aggressiveness these past few days, so he softened his voice and carefully coaxed him, saying things that he didn't believe, such as never again Such nonsense lies.

"Your Majesty, I will never bring up the matter of marrying a wife again. Without Green Pearl, there will be no one else."He has no way to do everything and live up to everyone, he can only guarantee to live up to the person he least wants to lose, "I will be by Your Majesty's side for the rest of my life, never leave, hand in hand till I grow old. Your Majesty can rest assured, don't let him down again." Have other thoughts."

It's fine if Wei Yan doesn't speak, but when he speaks, Jing Li is shocked.

"I'm not using that to blackmail you." He didn't expect Wei Yan to say these words, and he didn't expect Wei Yan to use this matter as an exchange to make a concession.Normally, when Wei Yan said these words, it would be too late for him to be happy, but now that he is involved with that matter, it is quite bad.

If Wei Yan misunderstood him and thought that when he said that he wanted to give Wei Yan a title, he was just using it as a condition to blackmail him and not let him marry Lu Zhu, then he would really be self-defeating.Not letting him marry Luzhu is one thing, not wanting him to be wronged anymore, wanting him to stand by his side in an open and honest manner is another thing, his original intention is definitely not that despicable.

"I understand."

"I didn't mean that..." Jing Li desperately wanted to explain, but found that he didn't let Wei Yan give up the idea of ​​marrying a wife at first, and became even more flustered.

He has used countless methods in his life, even on Wei Yan, but only in this matter, he feels innocent.It's just that things happened to happen to happen together, which made his intentions suddenly become unbearable.

"Your Majesty." Wei Yan didn't know why the emperor panicked like this, but he knew that he was actually bringing him such anxiety, so he let go of his arms, stepped back a little, and put his palms on him. Then he took his hand and placed it on his left chest, "I have long understood Your Majesty's intentions, and Your Majesty should also understand Your Majesty's intentions."

Jing Li's heart beat a little faster, but Wei Yan's was very steady.Again and again, the sound of a strong and powerful heartbeat passed through the palm of his hand and into his heart through the blood, making his heartbeat gradually stabilize.

"Wei Yan...I'm sorry, I really didn't mean that." This time, Huan Jingli hugged Wei Yan tightly and refused to let go.

Jing Li always has a chic appearance in front of people, looking forward and never looking back, but occasionally, in the dead of night, he also has reflections, if he and Wei Yan change the beginning, will he not now? The slightest turmoil would turn everything into a war, and my heart was always empty with no focus.

However, if God really gave him another chance, nothing would change.It's not his style to pretend to be a love saint in every possible way, and it is in line with his character to directly pick it up and put a mark on it. Besides, even if he tries to please him in every possible way, it is impossible for Wei Yan to automatically lie on his couch with Wei Yan's temper. Why bother, thinking about it this way, he will feel that if those are just his imagination when he is bored.

Therefore, although sometimes he feels sorry for Wei Yan, when it is time to use means, he still uses them correctly, and he doesn't care if Wei Yan sees his means, but only in this matter , he didn't want Wei Yan to have any misunderstandings.

"Your Majesty, I understand your majesty's intentions, but does your majesty really understand your intentions?" Wei Yan asked the emperor in a low voice, stroking the emperor's back.

"I know you don't care about those false names, but I do care." In the past, I had no choice but to pretend that I didn't care in front of people even if I cared a lot about this person, lest people would see something wrong, but I couldn't protect myself. But now that he has the ability to give him those things, why should he be wronged?

"Your Majesty, you and I are both men. This matter is too shocking. If Your Majesty really orders the world, I'm afraid that the world will continue to criticize you. I don't care about your reputation. I really can't bear the burden of your Majesty's reputation. Your Majesty has thought about it. How will the history books evaluate His Majesty's actions today?"

"I want to see, who dares to criticize the emperor's family affairs, and how do those historians evaluate me?"

Jing Li's voice was very cold, and the meaning in the words was self-evident.

Criticizing the emperor is disrespectful and a heinous crime.

When Jing Li said this, he had already recovered his status as an emperor.When he has warmth, but his warmth is only so much, no matter how lenient he is in front of Wei Yan, it doesn't mean that he can be lenient to everyone.

It is almost as impossible for an emperor not to see blood, as it is impossible for a tiger to stop eating meat.

Wei Yan understood this truth.

His lover is the emperor, no matter how good he is to him, he is still the emperor.As long as he is the emperor, it is impossible for his hands not to be stained with blood. No matter how much the emperor likes him, he can't be a tiger that doesn't eat meat. The only thing he can do is to prevent the emperor's hands from being stained with unnecessary blood.

Those critics are meaningless victims. Maybe they themselves feel that they are dying generously for righteousness, but such sacrifices are meaningless.When it really came to that time, it took countless innocent lives and ruined the emperor's reputation, just to give him a false name that he didn't need. What's the point?

He really doesn't need this false name, which can only be obtained by killing, all he wants is the emperor.

When he was willing to return to the emperor's side, he had figured it out, and he would have to pay a price for such a choice.

Everything has a price.You can't be too greedy, just want to get and don't want to give.

He was willing to pay the price for this relationship and to be able to be with the emperor, but there was really no need to drag more people into it and let their relationship be covered with blood.

But the emperor obviously didn't think so.

Wei Yan found out that his conversation with the emperor had unknowingly returned to the stalemate of the previous few days, so he couldn't help but fell silent and stopped talking.

Jing Li waited and waited, but still couldn't wait for Wei Yan's next sentence.As time passed, his heart, which had calmed down just now, began to feel uneasy again.

To Wei Yan, it may be just a false name, but to him, it is very important.This title was not so much given to Wei Yan by him as it was given to him by Wei Yanxu.

Never give up, hand in hand to grow old, easy to say, easy to do.Today Wei Yan felt that he owed his son, owed Lu Zhu, and wanted to give her a title, but if Wei Yan felt that he owed someone else in the future, would he give some other title to a cat or a dog?

It's not that he can't trust Wei Yan, but that Wei Yan's heart is sometimes too soft, and if one day, when it is really time to make a choice as a last resort, he has a premonition that he must be the one who was abandoned.He couldn't compete with Wei Yan's family, and he didn't want Wei Yan to be in a dilemma in the future. Of course, he had to take the opportunity to get a name for himself.

So on this matter, he will not give in, even if Wei Yan will quarrel with him for a while, for the sake of the future, he will not give in easily.

"Wei Yan, there are some things you worry about for nothing. Leave it to me, and I will take care of it." Jing Li can imagine what will happen in the palace and the court, and the people will definitely do the same. There are criticisms, but so what?He believed that he could control the situation and calm down some hot-headed people as quickly as possible.

Wei Yan still didn't answer, but just sighed deeply, which made Jing Li's heart hang in the air.

"I didn't expect that His Majesty never believed in me." After a long time, Wei Yan said this.

Although the emperor kept scolding Wei Yan for being an idiot, he was really not stupid, he was just lazy about some things and wanted to find trouble for nothing.

The emperor has such a temperament, his heart is full of whirling thoughts, his mouth is often insincere, and he has all kinds of means in his hands. Life is going to be unbearable, so he has always relaxed his mind, and let the emperor worry about everything, lest he is too free to cause trouble.

He only tried to influence the emperor's decision when he was about to mess around in business.

For other things, he just needs to believe in the emperor's intentions for him. He understands the emperor's intentions.

There are some things that he is too lazy to think about, of course he doesn't know, as long as he is willing to think about it, he will naturally understand what the emperor is thinking at the moment.

"If one day, I turn my back on what I said today, it will be bad for me..."

Before the word "death" could be uttered, Wei Yan was covered by the emperor.The emperor glared at him viciously, with an angry expression on his face.

Wei Yan sobbed for a long time, but the emperor refused to let go, and could only stare at him with the same force.

Like fighting cocks, the two confronted each other foolishly for a long time, and at the same time, their eyes softened.

"I promise you that I will never say such stupid things in the future. Be good, just nod when you know." Although Jing Li's expression eased, he still refused to let go. Let go.

If Wei Yan really betrays what he said today, there must be his last resort, how dare Jing Li let him make these life and death vows.The speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention. If some god who is too idle and flustered hears Wei Yan's words at this moment, wouldn't it be very bad if there is such a day?

Forget it, there is no rush.

Jing Li thought that the Empress Dowager was in her sixtieth year, and Wei Yan's parents were very old and old, so they might not be able to withstand such a storm. I stopped this idea for a while and didn't bring it up again.

The candlelight outside the tent gradually dimmed, and the people in the tent thought they had comforted each other, so they put aside the matter, stopped talking, and had a good night's sleep.
