Before returning to Beijing, in order to show that he really didn't want to go back, Ye Chi specially stayed in Fengzhou with Kaoru Tai for a few more days. Seeing that he was not in a hurry, Land Rover was eager to send them back to the capital in person.

Although the annex they lived in was not as spacious as the capital, it was still relatively spacious. King Huai didn't want to be under the same roof with King Jin, so he went to the official post alone to wait for the return, but King Jin stayed very happily and leisurely brought a few jars of wine.

This made Kaoru Tantai a little unhappy.

In every way, she doesn't like King Jin. This person behaves strangely, and there is danger everywhere, but he doesn't seem to have done anything bad, and he always looks calm.

But these are not the point, the most important thing is that she instinctively feels that King Jin has an attachment to Ye Chi.

She didn't know how to express this feeling, not admiration, admiration, hatred, hatred, just a pure attachment, as if it were ......

The hunter's attachment to his prey.

Because he has been thinking about this matter, Kaoru Yutai was also a little upset when he practiced martial arts. She didn't want to add trouble to Ye Chi by talking about it, but she stayed by his side every day, and even waited for him to fall asleep at night before leaving the door.

After Ye Chi wrote a letter to King Lian, he set the return date for the day after tomorrow.

In fact, he didn't really want to go back, for no other reason, since he came to Fengzhou, he found that Kaoru Tai was always inseparable from him, and even when he was reading in the afternoon, he would sit quietly on the side.

He was flattered by this.

Although he was very happy, he couldn't know Kaoru Tatoi's personality well. She's not someone who clings to him all the time because she likes him, and her behavior is more like ...... than clingy Protect him.

The night before leaving, Ye Chi asked Kaoru Yutai to go back to rest earlier. She stood at the door and struggled for a while, and said seriously: "Then you should go to bed early and don't come out again at night." ”

Ye Chi nodded, and gently called her as she turned around: "Kaoru." ”

Kaoru Tandai turned her head and looked at him suspiciously.

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Kaoru Tantai was stunned for a moment, shook her head twice, and quickly turned around and left.

Ye Chi returned to the house and sat quietly, took the book and turned a few pages, but he was not in the mood to read it, he wanted to go out for a walk but remembered that he promised Kaoru not to run around, so he had to open the window for ventilation.

Outside the window, the moonlight was soft, the shadows of the trees were mottled, and the small courtyard was as quiet as if it was covered with a layer of fog. After Ye Chi opened the window, he felt a little cold, so he put on a coat and poured a cup of hot tea and held it in the palm of his hand.

He could probably guess what Kaoru was struggling with, after all, this girl was so easy to understand. Although she is always expressionless, domineering and direct, every action is an interpretation of the love that makes him warm and drunk.

"Shut it off, your wind chill just hasn't been long. ”

A cold voice came from outside, and Ye Chi was so frightened that he almost flew the teacup. He hurriedly stretched out his head to take a look, only to see Kaoru standing quietly by the window, wearing a small water-red jacket, and his little face was slightly red from the cold, like a plum blossom in the courtyard, pink and beautiful.

"You ......," he was so shocked that he was speechless for a moment, "do you stand here every night?"

Kaoru Tantai looked at him a little strangely, shook his head and said, "No, I'll go back when you turn off the lights." ”

Her expression on her face was taken for granted, which made Ye Chi a little annoyed for some reason. He reached out of the window eaves, grabbed her hand violently, and sure enough, it was as cold as ice.

"Come in!"

Kaoru Tantai had never seen him really angry in his memory, and there was unspeakable anger on his handsome and elegant face. She was stunned for a moment.

Ye Chi frowned, holding her hand tightly, his heart was full of reproachful words, but he couldn't say a word, his clear and full voice carried a slightly angry feeling: "Come into the house, I'll open the door for you." ”

Kaoru Tantai still didn't understand why he was angry, and raised his hand, "But you grabbed my hand." ”

Ye Chi only cared about warming her, and when she was about to let go, Kaoru Yutai held on to the eaves of the window with one hand and jumped into the house with a slight jump. Even in heavy clothes, her skills were as agile as they were at the beginning, and her delicate figure was intoxicating in the candlelight.

Ye Chi found her a stove in the house to cover her hands, and then sat quietly at the table reading a book, ignoring her again.

Kaoru Tantai silently closed the window and sat down next to him again, but Ye Chi still ignored her.

She thought for a moment, "Are you angry that I won't let you out?"

Ye Chi put down the book in his hand, looked up at her serious face, couldn't bear it any longer, stood up and hugged her in his arms.

"Cold Winter Layue, you just stand outside like this, do you think I won't be angry?"

"I'm not cold. Kaoru Tantai argued, but her voice became quieter and quieter, "I'm afraid that something will happen to you if I'm not here." ”

Again. It's such a simple, straightforward and pure idea that it's hard to resist.

"Your feelings are not wrong, but King Jin will not attack me, at least not in this way. Ye Chi sighed, he couldn't imagine that she had been standing outside the window all these nights, and he hadn't even noticed it.

Kaoru Tandai was held by him, and his expression could not be seen. He really noticed the matter of King Jin, maybe it was when he was in Qinzhou, maybe it was when he just entered the court, maybe it was even earlier.

"Let's go back. After a long time, Ye Chi spoke.

He slowly let go of his hand, but Kaoru Yutai didn't move, still holding the stove, "You go to sleep, I'll sit here and watch you." ”

Ye Chi held his forehead: I was persuaded in vain just now.

"I'll be fine. ”

"It's not because of this. Kaoru shook his head, "I'm going to leave for Beijing tomorrow, this is the last night so leisurely, I want to watch you sleep." ”

She said too calmly, Ye Chi didn't react for a long time, and asked incredulously, "Are you going to ...... Do you sleep in my room?"

Kaoru Tantai apparently didn't understand what he meant: "I can sleep while sitting." ”

Ye Chi couldn't express his excitement at the moment, walked back and forth in the room, pointed to the bed and said, "You go to bed and sleep." ”

Kaoru Kodai blinked, "What about you?"

"I'll just sleep on the ground. ”

"No, I'll sleep on the ground. She immediately refused, "You are not in good health." ”

"No matter how bad I am, I can't let you sleep on the ground. ”

Then the two fought over who slept on the ground, and finally ended with Ye Chi's sentence "If you don't sleep in bed, I'll be angry, and I'm so angry that I'm afraid of myself", Kaoru Yutai finally gave in and spread two layers of quilts on the ground before he would give up.

After the lights went out, the two fell silent. Kaoru Yutai suddenly regretted a little and said that he wanted to stay, so that Ye Chi would not have to sleep on the ground. She turned over and looked at the bottom of the bed, only to see Ye Chi lying on her side with her back, unable to see his face, I don't know if he was asleep, I can only hear his quiet and steady breathing.

Of course, Ye Chi didn't fall asleep, although he had already decided to marry Kaoru Yutai, but it was the first time he slept in the same room with her.

It seemed that as long as this girl was around, he could not think about a worrying thing.

As long as she is there, his every day is so full and wonderful.

The night gradually deepened, Ye Chi also slowly became sleepy, when he was about to fall asleep, he felt that the quilt was slowly lifted, and then a pair of small hands reached over and hugged him from behind.

He woke up in an instant, and felt the people behind him curl up in his direction, snuggling up to each other.

Ye Chi didn't make a sound, and he didn't want to blame her for running to the ground to sleep, just lightly covered her little hands.

***

The next day, when Chang Su woke up Ye Chi, he saw such a terrifying scene: there was no one on the bed, there were three quilts on the ground, Ye Chi hugged Kaoru Yutai and slept on the ground, and there seemed to be a faint smile on his face.

Chang Su covered his mouth so that he didn't call out immediately, carefully closed the door, and trotted away happily.

Even though he barely made a sound, Kaoru Tandai woke up. Their sleeping position somehow changed to Ye Chi holding her, but it didn't matter, he was happy.

She got up slowly, and found that Ye Chi was still asleep, so she gently kissed him on the forehead, and then went out gently.

After she left, Ye Chi, who had closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and touched the place on his forehead that was kissed by her, blushing as if he had been covered, and hurriedly put his head under the quilt.

Although there were no people from the Beijing Yamen on this trip, after all, they were escorting people back to Beijing, and even if they pretended, they had to keep a low profile. In order to prevent another business trip, Ye Chi deliberately let King Jin and King Huai's men and horses leave one after another, one team was escorted by him, and the other team was escorted by Kaoru Tai.

Kaoru Tai insisted on following King Jin's team, but Ye Chi didn't stop them, letting them go first, and he and King Huai followed behind.

On the way back to Beijing, nothing went wrong, and even the sky was beautiful, and even the heavy snow stopped. Kaoru Tai thought that he would always arrive in the capital in such a smooth way, but on the day he entered the capital, every qiē was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and he came without warning.

King Huai and King Jin, as well as a few guards, were all poisoned.

The first to feel uncomfortable was a guard on horseback, who collapsed without warning, foaming at the mouth. The frightened horses neighed and galloped, and the rest of the people were thrown into disarray.

Ye Chi sat in the carriage and diagnosed the lower pulse of King Huai, which was not a deadly poison, at least for the time being, and his life would not be in danger.

He suddenly thought of something, and after settling down with King Huai, he immediately rushed to Kaoru Yutai.

In complete contrast to their pair, King Jin was surprisingly quiet. Kaoru Tantai leaned sideways on his horse, his face a little pale, and pointed to the carriage in which King Jin was riding.

The black-clothed guard came down from inside, and his cold face was ruthless: "Back to Ye Xiang, His Royal Highness King Jin has also been poisoned." ”

Ye Chi looked at him silently, for a long time, and ordered: "Return to Beijing immediately." ”

He transferred a guard to lead the way, and he himself helped Kaoru Tantai to walk back. His steps were slow, so slow that every step seemed to be hard.

Kaoru Yutai held his hand, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, he was holding on hard from the beginning, and his voice was hoarse: "It's wine......"

"I know. ”

Although her consciousness gradually became unclear, the medicinal fragrance on Ye Chi's body made her feel very relieved.

"Wine ...... brought by the King of Kin"
