Unexpectedly, Pei Ze asked such an inexplicable question, Li An was stunned, and then thought about it seriously for a while, and replied: "People are sleepy but can't sleep, it's nothing more than something on their minds, which is divided into things of worry and things of fear, but if he can sleep next to someone, it probably means that he trusts that person very much." ”

"Trust?" Pei Ze turned around and looked at Li An with a puzzled expression.

Xiao Yanzhi trusts him? Why? Has he done anything so far that Xiao Yanzhi trusts? If Xiao Yanzhi was really too scared to fall asleep in the palace, then shouldn't he also be afraid of Xiao Yanzhi? Why can you sleep peacefully next to him? Does Xiao Yanzhi really think he is a good person?

Thinking of what Xiao Yanzhi said earlier, "King Wucheng is really a good person", Pei Ze felt that it was too ridiculous to use this as a reason.

But Xiao Yanzhi is different from them, Xiao Yanzhi has not experienced the cruel war of the past twenty years, and he still doesn't understand the palace battle, maybe Xiao Yanzhi is really just a simple common man?

can think of Xiao Yanzhi's every move these days, Pei Ze feels that Xiao Yanzhi is not so simple.

Two contradictory thoughts swirled around Pei Ze's mind, making Pei Ze's head hurt.

It had been many years since he had seen Pei Ze so distressed, Li An suddenly became curious, and asked, "Lord Wang, have you met such a person?" ”

Pei Ze cast his eyes out of the window again and was silent.

Li An was surprised, but he was just curious about who the other party was, and he could make Pei Ze care so much.

"In that case, is it okay if the prince doesn't stay with that person?"

Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "No need, if it is someone he trusts, he has it by his side." ”

I didn't expect Xiao Yanzhi to meet a fellow villager in the palace, according to Xu Ren, Zhang Shaosheng seems to be Xiao Yanzhi's bamboo horse playmate, the two had a very good friendship when they were young, and when they entered the palace, they must also support each other.

"Li An, ask someone to send a message to He Yan, in the past two days, His Majesty will choose a personal guard for the eldest prince, and ask He Yan to find a way to go."

Hearing this, Li An was even more surprised.

The prince first asked Xu Ren to monitor the eldest prince in the palace, and then asked He Yan to be the personal guard of the eldest prince, what is so special about the eldest prince that the prince cares so much? Looking at the prince's expression, it doesn't seem like he is guarding the eldest prince as an opponent, but if it is not, what is it for?

After hesitating for a moment, Li An still spoke: "Lord Wang, you have already sent the eldest prince back to His Majesty safely, can we stop caring about this eldest prince's affairs?" Or is there anything that the eldest prince minds? ”

Pei Ze was stunned.

Yes, you can leave it alone, why on earth?

"Let's arrange it."

Li An responded and left with a stomach full of doubts.

Pei Ze still didn't sleep well this night, and every time he woke up, he would naturally think of Xiao Yanzhi in the palace.

And Xiao Yanzhi, who was missed by Pei Ze for a night, sat in the bedroom all night, and when Xiushui and Lian Sheng knocked on Xiao Yanzhi's door, Xiao Yanzhi still leaned on the couch, but changed the direction of leaning.

Hearing the knock on the door, Xiao Yanzhi sighed tiredly.

I still haven't slept all night.

"I'm awake, come in."

With permission, Xiushui and Lian Sheng led someone to push open Xiao Yanzhi's door, but when they entered the door, they found that Xiao Yanzhi was leaning on the couch, and the bedding on the bed was neat and tidy, and it didn't look like it had been touched at all.

"Your Highness...... Haven't slept all night? Xiushui looked at Xiao Yanzhi with some panic.

Xiao Yanzhi smiled lightly: "I slept, but I accidentally slept on the couch." ”

Xiao Yanzhi got off the bed without hurry, washed, and changed clothes.

Xiushui stared at Xiao Yanzhi, and didn't see the tiredness on Xiao Yanzhi's face, so he was a little relieved, and said, "Your Highness, you have to be careful of your body, even if it's summer, the wind at night is cold." Why don't you arrange a vigil in a side room? ”

Originally, a person should have been arranged to guard in Xiao Yanzhi's bedroom, but Xiao Yanzhi didn't allow it, so Xiushui withdrew the person, but now it seems that ......

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "No need, I'm not that expensive." ”

"Why isn't it expensive?" Xiushui walked to Xiao Yanzhi's side and helped Xiao Yanzhi tidy up his clothes, "The slave doesn't know how His Highness's body and bones are, but His Highness came from Jiangnan to Chang'an, there must be something that is not suitable for him, and the wind in the north is not softer than in the south, you have to pay attention." ”

Xiushui's advice made Xiao Yanzhi's mood better, and he smiled: "I know." ”

Dressed neatly, Xiao Yanzhi suddenly smelled the strong fragrance of milk, and when he looked up, he saw Xiushui coming over with a bowl of milk.

"Your Highness, the slave maid asked the guard Zhang, he said that you can drink goat's milk, and the slave maid made a bowl hot this morning, although it can't be full, but it's better than an empty stomach."

"Thank you." Xiao Yanzhi took the bowl and drank it in three or two sips, the goat's milk was still warm, and his stomach warmed up when he drank it, and his heart warmed up.

After taking the empty bowl, Xiushui smiled reassuringly.

Lian Sheng then asked: "Your Highness, let's be a little early today, do you think you should rest for a while, or will you go to the Liangyi Hall to greet Your Majesty?" ”

"Let's go." Anyway, it's the same everywhere he spends his time.

Lian Sheng immediately followed Xiao Yanzhi to leave the Wanchun Palace, and just saw Zhang Shaosheng before stepping out of the Wanchun Palace, Xiao Yanzhi raised a faint smile, nodded at Zhang Shaosheng, and strode away.

In the Liangyi Palace, Xiao Yanzhi saw Zhao Kang as soon as he entered the door.

Zhao Kangzheng was standing at the door of the study, looking embarrassed, when he heard the footsteps, he turned his head and saw Xiao Yanzhi, as if he had been pardoned.

"Your Highness, you're here, Your Majesty is in the study."

"Study?" Xiao Yanzhi unconsciously looked up at the blue sky that had just been polished, and frowned, "Go to the study so early, but there is a hurry?" ”

Zhao Kang shook his head and said, "It's not a political matter...... The old slave can't say it well, so let's go down and take a look. ”

With his eyebrows moving slightly, Xiao Yanzhihu took two steps forward suspiciously and knocked on the door of the study: "Father, it's me, Yanzhi." ”

After not hearing a response for a long time, Xiao Yanzhi glanced at Zhao Kang, who was full of worry, suspiciously, knocked on the door again, raised his voice and said, "Father, I am in the words, are you inside?" ”

After waiting for a while, Xiao Yanzhi still didn't hear a response, and when he was hesitating to kick the door open, Xiao Yanzhi keenly caught the sound of picking the door latch, and then listened carefully, and could hear slight footsteps.

Glancing at Zhao Kang again, Xiao Yanzhi gently pushed open the door of the study, entered the door alone, and then reflexively closed the door.

"Father, why are you in the study? When did you wake up? Xiao Yanzhi walked up to the emperor and stopped, and asked with a gentle smile.

The emperor sat behind the imperial case, looked down at a painting on the table, seemed to hear Xiao Yanzhi's words, and slowly spoke: "I dreamed of your mother last night, and I can't sleep anymore when I wake up." ”

Hearing this, Xiao was speechless.

The emperor raised his eyes and looked at Xiao Yanzhi, beckoned Xiao Yanzhi to his side, and said, "Come and see, can I paint like it?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi moved his footsteps, turned to the emperor's side, looked down at the imperial case, and saw a figure painting, the painting was a young girl, wearing a silk luo, smiling.

Xiao Yanzhi glanced at the emperor's side face and said, "Father and Emperor drew a mother that his sons have never seen, and the only thing that his sons are familiar with in this painting is this pair of smiling eyes." ”

As soon as Xiao Yanzhi said this, the emperor could think of the reason why Xiao Yanzhi was familiar with this pair of smiling eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi's mother actually doesn't like to laugh, and the only smile she has is given to the emperor, including the last smile before she dies.
