When he woke up in the morning, Pei Ze raised his hand and opened the curtain next to the bed, turned his head to glance at the dazzling sunlight that sprinkled all over the ground, and then lowered the curtain again.

Seeing that this is already the third pole of the sun, the early dynasty should be over, why didn't anyone wake them up?

After thinking about it, he thought that Xu Lishan should be the host of the early dynasty today, so Pei Ze completely lost the meaning of getting up, and turned his head to stare at Xiao Yanzhi's sleeping face.

I haven't seen him for more than half a month, and this person who was finally fattened by him has lost weight again, even a little more slender than when he was the thinnest before, even if he sleeps peacefully, the green shadow under his eyes has not completely dissipated.

After thinking about it, Pei Ze carefully withdrew the arm that was used as a pillow by Xiao Yanzhi, then turned around and got out of bed, and after dressing himself neatly, he walked out of the bedroom lightly.

Pushing open the door, he saw He Yan, Zhang Shaosheng, Xu Ren and Kong Qing all guarding the door, Pei Ze raised his hand to block the voice of a few people who wanted to say hello, and closed the door lightly with his backhand before he spoke: "A few of you come here." ”

With that, Pei Ze took the four people to sit at the stone table in the small courtyard in front of the house. It was some distance from the house, and the voice of the conversation would not be noisy to Xiao Yanzhi, but it was not far from the house, no matter what happened, they could rush over immediately.

Seeing He Yan and the four of them standing beside him in an orderly manner, Pei Ze casually pointed to his seat and said, "Sit down." ”

"Thank you, Lord Wang." The four of them thanked each other in a low voice, and then sat down one after another.

After the four of them sat down, Pei Ze looked at Xu Ren and asked straight to the point, "What happened when I was away?" ”

knew that Pei Ze would ask this first, Xu Ren had already sorted out the major events and small circumstances that had happened during this period of time, and when he was asked at this time, he gave Pei Ze an answer without any stumbles.

Pei Ze listened without saying a word, but his face became more and more ugly.

Before leaving, he thought that Xu Liqian would try to ask for the lives of Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Lishan, but he felt that Xiao Yanzhi and Xu Lishan could deal with it, and the sixteen guards were there, not to mention that there was also His Majesty, so he went to the northwest with confidence, but he didn't expect Xu Liqian to get the help of the left and right Weiwei, and then he would poison His Majesty first. He didn't expect that Concubine Yun Shu was ordered by Xiao Yan to be hung on the city tower, and he didn't expect that the situation would force Xiao Yanzhi to kill people.

Xiao Yanzhi has never killed anyone, so it's no wonder that he is emaciated like this. He still remembers that after the first killing, he hid in the quilt and cried for a night, and then more and more people were killed by him, and for a year or two, he couldn't sleep well every night, and always dreamed of evil ghosts asking for his life, but after a little longer and more people were killed, he was already used to it.

When he heard from Xu Ren's mouth that one of the emperor's testaments was to demote Xiao Yanzhi to a commoner, Pei Ze was stunned for a moment, and then fell into deep thought.

What His Majesty meant, he understood. Xiao Yanzhi was originally a person who was not suitable for staying in the court, no matter how well he understood the world, no matter how good he was at dealing with court disputes, he was a person who was not suitable for staying in the court, he took love too seriously, and the court was a place where any emotion could be erased, His Majesty was probably the same as him, and he didn't want to watch Xiao Yanzhi be hurt again and again in disputes that had nothing to do with him.

Commoners......

Pei Ze was thinking deeply, when he suddenly heard the door behind him slammed open, Pei Ze and Xu Ren were startled, and turned their heads to look at the past at the same time.

I saw Xiao Yanzhi standing barefoot at the door, with only a coat tied messily, with green silk scattered on his hair, looking at a few people in the courtyard with a blank expression.

"What's wrong?" Pei Ze got up and walked in the direction of Xiao Yanzhi.

Xiao Yanzhi seemed to come back to his senses suddenly, his face turned red for a moment, and then he pulled his hands and slammed the door shut again, and then Xiao Yanzhi's voice came out of the room with a hint of annoyance.

"It's fine."

Pei Ze was frightened by the sound of the door closing, and stopped suddenly, waiting until he heard Xiao Yanzhi's slightly flustered voice before coming back to his senses.

It's okay? It's okay, what is he doing in a panic?

"Go and rest, and two people will keep watch."

Leaving the last instructions to Xu Ren and the four of them, Pei Ze strode to the door of the house, stretched out his hand and pushed the door, but did not push it open, it seemed that Xiao Yanzhi was inside against the door.

"Words?" Pei Ze knocked on the door suspiciously.

Xiao Yanzhi in the room stood with his back against the door, scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "It's okay, aren't you talking to them?" Go back and move on. ”

He just didn't see Pei Ze when he opened his eyes, and thought that he was in a trance to the point that he began to hallucinate, so he was in a hurry to confirm, but he seemed to be a little too anxious.

Looking down at the only piece of clothing hanging crookedly on his body, Xiao Yanyi's face was annoyed.

"That's it, open the door, I'm going in."

"What are you doing here?" After blurting out these words, Xiao Yanzhi was even more annoyed, and he couldn't bite his tongue.

Without waiting for Pei Ze outside the door to say anything, Xiao Yanzhi ran back to the house like a gust of wind, quickly jumped onto the bed, and pulled the curtain next to the bed tightly.

Hearing the sound in the room, Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, and then pushed the door open lightly.

raised his feet to enter the door, but Pei Ze didn't see Xiao Yanzhi's figure.

"Words?" Pei Ze walked to the side of the bed and raised his hand to open the curtain, but found that Xiao Yanzhi pinched the curtain from the inside.

Pei Ze was helpless.

Don't let him go to bed after you don't let him in?

Pei Ze tugged at the curtain again, but he still couldn't pull it open, turned his head to look at the rope tied to the corner of the bed beam in the upper corner of the curtain, Pei Ze raised his hand to untie the rope.

After untying the rope, as soon as Pei Ze let go, the curtain fell down as a matter of course, half of the bed was uncovered, and Xiao Yanzhi, who was hiding behind the curtain, naturally appeared in front of Pei Ze's eyes.

Xiao Yanzhi looked up at Pei Ze blankly, then lowered his head to look at the curtain that had been dragged on the ground, and then raised his head and looked at Pei Ze in a daze.

Amused by Xiao Yanzhi's stupid look, Pei Ze raised his hand and flicked it on Xiao Yanzhi's forehead.

"Legs, stick them out and I'll take a look."

Xiao Yanzhi loosened the curtain and stretched out a leg.

Pei Ze twitched the corner of his mouth: "Another." ”

What do you do with your uninjured leg sticking out?

"Oh." Xiao Yanzhi took this leg back and replaced it with another.

Pei Ze squatted down helplessly, supported Xiao Yanzhi's foot, and gently pinched the part wrapped in the gauze.

"Does it hurt?"

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and replied, "Of course it hurts if you pinch it." ”

Pei Ze gave Xiao Yan a blank look, and pinched it twice: "Who let you run around on the ground?" ”

Feeling that Xiao Yanzhi's bones were no longer misplaced, Pei Ze breathed a sigh of relief.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said, "It's not like I woke up and didn't see you." ”

Pei Ze was stunned, looked up at Xiao Yanzhi and asked, "Are you looking for me?" ”

“…… Well," Xiao Yanzhi said with annoyance covering his face, "Ah!! Shame on the dead! ”

Pei Ze chuckled lightly and said, "I'm very happy." ”

got up and dropped a kiss on Xiao Yanzhi's forehead, Pei Ze turned around and went to the basin, folded it back after wetting the cloth towel, squatted down in front of Xiao Yanzhi again, pulled Xiao Yanzhi's feet, and seriously helped Xiao Yanzhi wipe off the dust on the soles of his feet.

"Hey!" Xiao Yan was startled, and subconsciously withdrew his foot, and hid under the long shirt, "Give me a cloth towel." I'll just do it myself. ”

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi with a dissatisfied face, reached under Xiao Yanzhi's robe, and grabbed the foot out again: "Don't move, it's dirty to the bed." ”

Xiao Yanzhi twitched the corner of his mouth.

Why don't you see him at night and worry about the bed getting dirty? You don't need him to wash it, what do you mind here?

However, seeing Pei Ze's serious and happy look, Xiao Yanzhi felt that his face was hot again.

After wiping Xiao Yanzhi's feet clean, Pei Ze looked up again and found that Xiao Yanzhi was tilted his head, and although he covered his face with his hands, he could still see that his face was flushed.

Pei Ze raised his eyebrows, lifted Xiao Yanzhi's foot and kissed it on the instep.

Xiao Yanzhi was so shocked that he looked at Pei Ze with his eyes: "You! I went to the Northwest, who did you learn from! ”

He remembered that Pei Ze was not such a person!

Pei Ze smiled happily: "The people in the northwest are unrestrained, and I have probably learned something." ”

Since he saw Xiao Yanzhi yesterday, he just wants to love Xiao Yanzhi well, what can he do? Probably his state of mind has also changed.

In the past month, he has experienced two life and death, one is when he was captured by Zhang Maocheng in the northwest camp and experienced his life and death, the development of events at that time was really beyond his expectations, he even thought that Zhang Maocheng would kill him immediately, and at that moment, he couldn't remember the way to break the siege, and he couldn't remember how to send the news back to Chang'an, all he thought of was Xiao Yanzhi's voice and smile.

If he really can't go back, what should that trouble-loving Xiao Yanzhi do? He has done a lot of things for many people in his life, but he hasn't done anything for Xiao Yanzhi, does he have a chance to do it again?

The second time was yesterday when he experienced Xiao Yanzhi's life and death, when he saw that Wucheng Wangfu was surrounded by people wearing strange light armor, when he saw Xiao Yanzhi surrounded by Xu Liqian and others, he really thought that Xiao Yanzhi would be killed, and at that moment except instinctively running towards Xiao Yanzhi, there was nothing left in his heart except remorse.

If Xiao Yanzhi leaves, then what should he do? There are still things he wants to do with Xiao Yanzhi, and what he still wants to say to Xiao Yanzhi, who else is he going to say to him?

God has mercy, he is back, Xiao Yanzhi has not left, he still has the opportunity to do something for Xiao Yanzhi, he still has time to say something to Xiao Yanzhi, but this life is not as long as he imagined, and he has not many opportunities and time.

Xiao Yanzhi stared at Pei Ze with a red face, not knowing what to say at all.

Pei Ze rubbed Xiao Yanzhi's head, then walked to the wardrobe, and as soon as he opened the cabinet door, he saw that it was full of all kinds of clothes.

Pei Ze was slightly surprised, but he didn't say anything, only picked out a set of clothes, and then returned to the bedside.

As soon as he saw Pei Ze coming over with a few clothes, Xiao Yanzhi immediately shrank to the inside of the bed, and then stretched out his hand to Pei Ze and said, "Give me the clothes, I'll wear them myself." ”

Seeing Xiao Yan's serious resistance, Pei Ze had to regretfully hand over his clothes.

He also wanted to experience what it was like to serve others.

After taking the clothes, Xiao Yanyi guarded Pei Ze while sitting on the bed and putting on the clothes with difficulty, and after they were all dressed neatly, he rubbed to the side of the bed, ready to put on his boots.

Unexpectedly, Pei Ze suddenly bent down and hugged Xiao Yanzhi: "You don't have to wear shoes, so you don't have to run around." ”

Xiao Yanzhi was speechless.

Pei Ze walked out of the house with Xiao Yanzhi in his arms, and as soon as he went out, he saw Lian Sheng and Xiao Chunyue waiting at the door.

Xiao Chunyue first craned her neck and glanced at Xiao Yanzhi, and saw that Xiao Yanzhi's face looked much better than a few days ago, so she breathed a sigh of relief.

As an elder sister, she can only take care of Yanzhi's food, clothing and daily life, but at the critical moment of Yanzhi, she can't help anything, and she can't even become Yanzhi's reliance and comfort, fortunately, there is King Wucheng.

After greeting Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, Lian Sheng asked with a smile: "Lord Qiqi, lunch is ready, where do the two princes want to use it?" ”

Hearing this, Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi turned their heads to look around at the same time.

Xiao Yanzhi asked, "Is there anything with a good view in this Shu Palace?" ”

He's really unfamiliar with his own territory.

Lian Sheng hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, a back garden was specially built in the Shu King's Mansion, and a pool was created with water from the Longshou Canal, which is beautiful!" ”

Xiao Yan was stunned, and then asked, "You said that the back garden was rebuilt?" ”

Lian Sheng was stunned, and his voice lowered a little, and said: "If you go back to the prince, it was rebuilt the year before last, and the flowers and trees in the back garden were all transplanted from the imperial garden. ”

Pei Ze looked down at Xiao Yanzhi's face, and then said to Lian Sheng: "Just put lunch in the back garden." ”

As soon as the words fell, Pei Ze hugged Xiao Yanzhi and walked to the back garden.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yanzhi, who had been stunned, found that he was still being held in Pei Ze's arms.

"What about wheelchairs? Ask someone to get the wheelchair. ”

Pei Ze replied without thinking: "With me here, what do you want a wheelchair for?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and let Pei Ze go.

Walking into the back garden, Pei Ze's footsteps couldn't help but stop, and Xiao Yanzhi also looked dumbfounded.

The area of this back garden is probably larger than the front of the serious Shu Wangfu, Lian Sheng said that the water of the Longshou Canal was led to make a pool, but in fact it was to trim the terrain to make a man-made lake, one side of the lake is a stream that leads out of the Longshou Canal, the water of the Longshou Canal is along this stream into the lake, and the other side of the lake is a small stream, this stream leads the lake out, probably to send back to the Longshou Canal, so that a circle, the lake becomes a living water lake.

There is water and there is naturally a bridge, and the bridge here is built across the lake, with a square platform in the middle, I don't know what it was originally intended to be used for. And surrounded by the stream and lake in the middle is a viewing pavilion, built on an elevated platform.

The whole garden is dominated by the stream, lake and pavilion, surrounded by flowers and trees, Xiao Yanzhi carefully distinguished, and found that those flowers and trees are different types of flowers, which can probably ensure that the flowers in this garden bloom all seasons.

Xiao Yanzhi's throat choked, and the hand on Pei Ze's body unconsciously grabbed Pei Ze's clothes.

Pei Ze looked at Xiao Yanzhi, and then carried Xiao Yanzhi into the viewing pavilion.

While waiting for lunch, Pei Ze asked Xiao Yanzhi: "I heard Xu Ren say that one of the testaments left by His Majesty is for you." ”

Xiao Yanzhi took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Well, you want to demote me to a commoner." ”

"And what are your plans?" It was rare that Xiao Yanzhi did not tie his hair, so Pei Ze played with Xiao Yanzhi's hair.

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "I haven't thought about it yet." ”

Pei Ze hugged Xiao Yanzhi and said softly, "Do you want to accept it?" Don't worry about me, I'll go wherever you go. ”

Xiao Yanzhi tilted his head to look at Pei Ze, and then said, "I'm not worried about you." ”

Pei Ze's face froze.

Xiao Yanzhi continued: "Even if I become a commoner, I can live in the Wucheng Palace, as long as you allow it. ”

Feeling that what Xiao Yanzhi said made sense, Pei Ze's expression eased slightly, but he still felt unhappy.

"Then what are you hesitating about?"

Xiao Yanzhi sighed and said: "The original choice to help Xu Lishan was indeed to be able to completely break away from the court one day, but ...... I can't seem to ignore the country that my father wants to protect. ”

Pei Ze was silent.

Or is it for His Majesty......

"It's okay, think slowly." Pei Ze patted Xiao Yanzhi's head.

When Lian Sheng sent lunch, he also sent Xu Lishan.

Looking at this exquisite back garden, Xu Lishan pursed his lips, and when he saw Pei Ze sitting leisurely in the pavilion with Xiao Yanyi, the corners of Xu Lishan's eyes jumped fiercely.

"If the two brothers are so idle, how about moving to the palace to do the younger brother a favor?" Xu Lishan stepped into the viewing pavilion angrily and sat opposite Pei Ze and Xiao Yanzhi, "I heard that Xu Liqian went to the Wucheng Palace, and the imperial brother was not injured, right?" ”

"No," Xiao Yanzhi smiled, wanting to get down from Pei Ze's lap and sit on the stone bench on the side, but Pei Ze's hands were clasped tightly, and he couldn't pull them away, "Fortunately, Pei Ze came back in time." ”

"But it's not," Xu Lishan glanced at Pei Ze and said, "Brother Pei went straight to the Wucheng Mansion as soon as he came back, I can understand his feelings about a certain person who loves to get into trouble, after all, that person is more important than my younger brother, but can you go to the palace to inform me after the matter is resolved?" Two people were absent from the morning dynasty at the same time, I thought you were what happened to you! ”

Pei Ze said disapprenomerly: "I accidentally overslept." ”

Xu Lishan twitched the corners of his mouth and said, "You don't have to explain to me, I don't want to imagine any embarrassing scenes." ”

Xiao Yanzhi blinked, looked at Xu Lishan with interest and asked, "Do you still imagine?" Imagine me and Pei Ze? ”

He thought it was funny, but on the other hand, it seemed weird.

Xu Lishan was embarrassed, and said with annoyance: "Don't ask." ”

Pei Ze echoed: "I also think it's better not to ask." ”

It's not just embarrassing Cheng dù anymore.

Xiao Yanzhi scratched the corners of his mouth and said no more.

Xu Lishan changed the topic and said, "Since the two of you are fine, then don't be absent from tomorrow's morning." ”

Xiao Yanzhi was about to agree, but Pei Ze suddenly said, "I want to take leave." ”

For the time being, don't let Xiao Yanzhi return to the court.

"Huh?" Xu Lishan glared at Pei Ze, "What kind of leave?" ”

Brother Pei has been King Wucheng for five years and has never taken leave, why did he take leave as soon as he took office? Does he know how many things are waiting for them to do in the court?

Pei Ze said confidently: "My relatives have passed away, I should have three years of leave, right?" ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yanzhi's eyes lit up and said, "Then do I have it too?" ”

"What's there!" Xu Li was angry, "There are ordinary officials, but you two are the princes of the dynasty, where did you come from this kind of fake?!" If you two have it, do I have it too? ”

Pei Ze said: "The person who is the emperor has no leave all year round, you are so self-sufficient." ”

"Me!" Xu Lishan's face turned red with anger.

Pei Ze said to Xiao Yanzhi again: "Why don't you build a tomb next to the imperial mausoleum?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi blinked and said, "I don't care." ”

"I have a so-called!" Xu Lishan shouted, "Are you two going to abandon me?" ”

"No," Pei Ze smiled lightly, "It's just a filial piety on your behalf." ”

Xu Lishan was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and could only use his power to suppress humanity: "I am not allowed!" You two are not allowed to be absent from tomorrow! ”

After saying this, Xu Lishan left in a huff.

When Xu Lishan left, Xiao Yanzhi asked Pei Zedao: "What did you do to bully him?" He had just taken over all the things in the court, so he must have been exhausted, right? What will he do if you and I are gone? ”

Pei Ze glanced at Xiao Yan, and then said, "You are just worried about other men, can you seriously worry about me?" ”

"What's wrong with you?" Xiao Yanzhi looked at Pei Ze amusedly.

Pei Ze lay on Xiao Yanzhi's shoulder and said: "I have either led the troops to rebel for half my life, or I am in danger in order to catch the rebels, and a few lives are not enough to compensate." I'm tired and need to rest. ”

Xiao Yanzhi smiled and said, "Why didn't you feel tired when you led the troops to rebel?" ”

Pei Ze said: "There was nothing more important to do at that time, but now there is." ”

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yan looked at Pei Ze puzzled.

Pei Ze raised his head and bit the tip of Xiao Yanzhi's nose, and said, "Accompany you." ”

Xiao Yanzhi's face turned red, and then he glared at Pei Ze and said, "Did you eat the wrong thing this morning?" ”

"It's all eaten with you." As he spoke, Pei Ze picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of meat to Xiao Yanzhi's mouth.

Xiao Yanzhi swallowed the meat and looked at Pei Ze suspiciously: "Is that sick?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi raised his hand and touched Pei Ze's forehead, but felt that Pei Ze's body temperature was normal.

Pei Ze squinted his eyes at Xiao Yan and said, "It's so abnormal that I'm so good to you?" ”

Xiao Yanzhi shook his head and said, "It's normal for you to be nice to me, but it's not normal for you to talk so much." ”

"What's the use of holding it in your stomach without saying anything to you?"

Xiao Yanzhi pursed his lips and said, "I still think you're weird." ”

Pei Ze smiled: "It will probably be like this in the future, you should get used to it as soon as possible." ”
