This morning, Yuerong went to wait outside Zichen Palace to serve the national teacher as usual.But she looked at the brighter and brighter sun and wondered in her heart. After all, the national teacher has always been self-disciplined. Usually at this time, he has already discussed business matters with the emperor in the imperial study. Why haven't he woke up yet?

Yuerong took a deep breath, knelt down at the door, and said, "National Teacher Wan'an."

No one in the bedroom responded.

After waiting for a while, Yuerong realized that something was wrong. She quickly stood up with her skirt in her hand, knocked on the door, but seeing that there was still no sound, she gritted her teeth and pushed the door open.

In the gorgeous and huge palace, the windows were closed tightly, and the stove was still emitting heat, but the owner of the heater was nowhere to be seen.

There was a coolness behind Yue Rong, and she immediately said to the other courtiers: "Quick! Go and report to His Majesty!"

Yu Ke had just finished the imperial court, and he was dressed in a black-trimmed court dress with a dragon and year pattern, which made him look heroic and majestic.It's just that the air pressure around the body is very low, and few people dare to approach it.

After going down to court, Yu Ke no longer faced other people. Yu Ke's lips were a little pale, and his brows were wrinkled, as if he was covered with inexhaustible sorrow again.

After Chu Tang left last night, he tossed and turned alone in the dormitory, thinking about it all night.

He never imagined that Chu Tang would catch his sneaky opening of the wound, just like being seen by his closest and favorite people when he did something bad secretly. sink.

But he just wanted to keep Chu Tang a little longer, is that wrong?He didn't hurt others, what he hurt was his own body, isn't that allowed?Or is it all his fault as long as he thinks about letting him stay for a few more days?

However, thinking of Chu Tang's expression when he left, he recklessly rejected these angry thoughts.

Chu Tang was angry at him for not cherishing his body.Whatever the starting point, his actions were wrong.What's more, his purpose is wrong - even if Chu Tang would stay for a while because of soft-heartedness, he would not really choose to stay for him - his behavior is meaningless, not to mention that he can't achieve his purpose, but if he is exposed It will make Chu Tang leave sooner.

Yu Ke was worried that Chu Tang would leave in a fit of anger. He tossed and turned all night. He was in the palace, but he wanted to sneak into the Zichen Palace and stare at Chu Tang all the time, so that he would not have the slightest chance to leave.

But since Chu Tang told him last night that he would not leave so soon, he will not break his promise.

Yu Ke comforted himself several times before slowly dispelling a little bit of worry.

It was too early to go to court, so he didn't dare to disturb Chu Tang's rest, so he had to wait until the next court to find him.For some reason, the closer he got to Zichen Palace, the faster his heart beat.

But seeing Yuerong hurried over, knelt down and said: "Report to the emperor, the national teacher...is gone!"

Yu Ke's heart tightened suddenly, his eyes pressed down, and he said in a stern voice: "It's all right, why didn't it disappear..."

He stopped suddenly.

Last night, the thought that was suppressed by him slowly came to his mind: Could it be that Chu Tang was really angry, felt that his character was stubborn, despicable and hopeless, and finally disappointed him so much that he would A person who made him so serious about promises doesn't even want to take promises to heart?

Yu Ke's face lost all color.

Is he really leaving?Not even a goodbye?

The wound on his chest seemed to be hurting again, Yu Ke was filled with pain in his heart, but his eyes were terribly red: "Look for it, find it for me!"

All the other guards went to look for it.

Yu Ke closed his eyes, his voice was condensed, with a slight tremor: "Turn the whole palace over, and I will find him."

"Your Majesty, calm down." Yue Rong said softly.

Zichen Palace.

Yu Ke personally searched the entire palace, but couldn't find anyone. For a while, the guards, eunuchs and maids in the palace knelt down on the ground, daring not to speak.

"Didn't you tell you to keep an eye on him, why did he disappear?" Yu Ke's face was livid, as if covered with a thick layer of frost, the line of his jaw was tense, looking very cold and heartless.

Yue Rong said: "If you go back to the emperor, the servants will go in in the morning and find that the national teacher is no longer in the palace, and there is no sign of anyone sleeping on the bed..."

Yu Ke clenched his fists, his chest heaving violently: "Back off. Let them keep looking."

"The slaves obey."

After the servants withdrew, Yu Ke propped his head on one hand, suddenly jumped up, swept all the tea sets on the table to the ground, and smashed them to pieces.

In the big and familiar hall, he stood there blankly, his eyes glazed over, as if he was in a daze, but his eye sockets were as red as if they had been stained with red ink, it was extremely frightening.

Slowly, as if he lost his strength, his shoulders dropped, his hands propped up on the table, and he panted heavily.

Outside the Zichen Palace, the guards were searching a lot, and everyone in the palace was waiting in full force.

In Zichen Palace, there was only Yu Ke alone, extremely quiet.

At this moment, all he could think about was that Chu Tang was gone, his eyes were dark, his chest was hurting, and he could hardly breathe, as if he was about to drown in the next moment.

Suddenly, there was a slight movement in the room, like the sound of clothes rubbing against each other.

For a split second, Yu Ke thought he had heard it wrong, and then he turned his head abruptly, staring at the curtain inside in disbelief.

A slender and fair hand was about to lift the curtain, but it stopped in mid-air because it sensed something. Then, a familiar voice sounded, with a trace of doubt: "Yu Ke?"

A pair of brocade boots appeared in Yu Ke's line of sight, and further up was the corner of the snow-white clothes, which were blocked by the bead curtain afterwards.He relaxed all over, as if he was about to kneel and sit down, but he held on, almost staggering and striding over, but with a timid expression, he opened the bead curtain with trembling hands.

Chu Tang didn't wear a mask, his eyes were cold, and that face was reflected in Yu Ke's eyes, like a bright and cold moon, which he had always dreamed of.

The dense pain in Yu Ke's heart welled up, and his eyes were red.He maintained this movement for a long time before he slowly bent down and hugged Chu Tang.

"It's really you, Chu Tang." Yu Ke looked like he was about to cry, "Didn't you leave?"

Seeing Yu Ke's flustered expression, Chu Tang was stunned for a moment, but he soon understood what was going on, let Yu Ke hug him, hesitated for a moment, slowly raised his hand, and followed his back Caressed, coaxed softly: "It's me, I didn't leave."

Yu Ke's throat was sweet, but he held it back, and hugged Chu Tang tightly with both hands, with great strength, as if he wanted to integrate Chu Tang into his flesh and blood.

Chu Tang seemed to have just woken up, with smooth, long black hair hanging loose, and a snow-white face. He was wearing a middle coat, a robe casually draped over his belt, and leaned against his arms, as if he was very dependent on him.

Only Yu Ke knows that no matter how soft-hearted Chu Tang seems, he will not stay for anyone.

Yu Ke let go of him, as if he had calmed down, his eyes were not so red, but his face was still very ugly, and his voice was difficult: "You said that you will leave after I recover from the injury."

Chu Tang said patiently: "I didn't leave, I just went home."

However, Yu Ke seemed to have heard some great irony, sneered, and mocked: "Family? Yes, you have a family, and I am the outsider who is not accepted by you. I am just a task you have to do. Will never be your family."

Chu Tang pursed his lower lip: "You are also my family."

Yu Ke stared at him, and suddenly burst into tears: "You said that."

"Well, I said that."

Yu Ke raised his hand and wiped his eyes expressionlessly, and said in a low voice, "But you also said that you will wait until I get better before leaving."

Chu Tang said it again in a good-tempered manner: "I won't leave today."

After a pause, Chu Tang said again: "And your injury was done on purpose..."

Yu Ke interrupted him, with a pale face, and stubbornly said: "You said it!"

Chu Tang stared at him without saying a word.

He was like a child who didn't know what was right and what was wrong. After hearing the promise made by an adult, he kept it in mind and ran towards that condition, trying to get the reward.After he painstakingly created and fulfilled the conditions, he suddenly heard the adults say that the promise would not be counted, because the adults found out that he had cheated.

Yu Ke said: "I don't care, I did something wrong, but you promised me."

Chu Tang said nothing.

Yu Ke lowered his head, held his hand, and tears fell on Chu Tang's sleeves: "...I will definitely drink medicine and recuperate properly in the future, and I will never lie to you again."

"Okay." Chu Tang finally spoke.

Yu Ke sobbed a bit, then laughed again.

Chu Tang was silent for a while, then said, "Don't cry anymore."

Yu Ke held back his tears, and said in a daze: "But people are sad, they just want to cry."

Although in the eyes of the world, it is a shameful and cowardly thing for a man to cry, but he doesn't think that crying in front of the one he loves can gain his soft heart and comfort, so what if he loses face?

In fact, he didn't tell the truth: in his heart, only tears can keep Chu Tang.Then the Yellow River would not hesitate to cry as much as he could.

Chu Tang said: "But you can't cry all the time. You are the emperor, the Ninth Five-Year Supreme. If people know about it, they will laugh at you."

Yu Ke said: "Except for my brother, no one can make me cry."

Chu Tang was speechless.

Yu Ke took his hand and said, "What did brother do when he went back?"

Chu Tang asked, "Do you know where I went back?"

There was still a trace of tiredness in Yu Ke's eyes, but his eyes were bright: "It's my brother's home, I know. My brother said just now that I am also your family member, which means that one day, I can also go home with you ……"

Chu Tang didn't know what he was thinking, so he nodded and said, "Yu Bei is your home, and it's also my other home."

"You used to say nice things to coax me," Yu Ke looked at him, and suddenly muttered, "But in fact, you didn't take it to heart."

Chu Tang said: "When did I not do what I promised you?"

"But my injury hasn't healed yet, do you want to go back early?" Yu Ke said dejectedly, "I know I used the wrong method, are you going to take back what you said earlier?"

Chu Tang said calmly, "I haven't taken it back."

Yu Ke looked up in surprise: "Really?"

"Well, the imperial doctor said that your injury will take a month to heal, and I will stay for another month."

Yu Ke held his hand tightly, with a smile on his haggard face, innocent and sincere: "Brother said that."

----

Seeing Chu Tang, Yue Rong burst into tears on the spot: "Master, where have you been?"

"It's just a trip out of the palace." Chu Tang said softly.

Yu Ke frowned, seemed a little dissatisfied, and muttered: "Why are you crying?"

He looked away, and said to Li Yuansheng who was standing beside him, "Don't ask people to look for it."

"Yes." Li Yuansheng replied, and glanced at the national teacher.

Yu Ke walked aside: "What's the matter?"

Li Yuansheng said in a low voice: "People from the National Teacher's Mansion came to report that Young Master Yu Shen was ill..."

"Ill?" Yu Ke asked, "What kind of illness?"

Chu Tang turned around and went back to the palace.

Li Yuansheng said: "The doctor said it was smallpox."

Yu Ke's expression sank: "Don't tell the national teacher."
