In the steaming heat, the eyes of the people in the bath are half-open and half-closed, as if they are asleep but not asleep, as if they are awake but not awake. Such a drunken state fell in Wang Zixian's eyes, and he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips. When his hand approached, Li Hui seemed to feel something, and his cheek rubbed against his palm, which made him feel slightly stunned. The warm touch made his blood burn so hot that it even burst out of his body and swallowed him completely.

His gaze involuntarily slowly moved down from Li Hui's wet face, collarbones, shoulder blades, and then fell into the water. The steam shallow the shallow concealment of this beautiful body, sometimes changing and sometimes moving, adding a bit of vague temptation. The prince let out a long sigh, closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were much clearer.

Although he was obsessed with it, Wang Zixian never thought of taking advantage of it, let alone making too rude acts to Li Hui, who was unconscious. In other words, it is precisely because he cherishes the other person too much that he is willing to force himself to continue to endure instead of indulging himself to hurt the person he loves the most. The plan in his heart has always been to let Li Hui gradually get used to the closeness between the two, slowly and imperceptibly, rather than suddenly offending, which makes him disgusted and disliked.

Although it was difficult to be completely controlled by his affection, Wang Zixian still insisted on bathing Li Hui cleanly, and dried his hair for him before changing the cold water bath himself. It's late autumn now, and I'm immersed in cold water, and it doesn't take long to extinguish all the thoughts and desires that shouldn't be revealed for the time being. Then, he came to the bed with a slightly cool water vapor.

Li Hui was sleeping deeply, and Wang Zixian leaned over to look at him for a long time, and gently pressed his lips to his smooth forehead. Perhaps because he no longer suppressed himself too much, and finally got what he wanted, the voice in his heart did not sound, but smiled lowly, as if he was extremely happy, and as if he was extremely happy.

The next day, when Li Hui woke up, he found that he was leaning against a piece of warmth behind him. Come to think of it, his memory only lasted until last night when he was drunk, but now he was neat and clean, and it was clear that more had happened since then. In a daze, he seemed to remember that his friend had helped him bathe and change his clothes, and although he was a little embarrassed, he quickly thought that it was better to bother his friend than to let those handmaids serve him close and feel uncomfortable afterwards.

"Xuan Qi, are you still practicing martial arts today?" Wang Zixian's voice rang out, and he still seemed to be a little sleepy.

Li Hui rubbed the corners of his forehead, and always felt that there was still some hidden pain: "Take a nap in the afternoon, and then practice archery." If you're free, why don't you fight me? A pair of hands reached out from behind, gently pressed his temples, and slowly kneaded them, and then moved up to the Baihui acupoint and down to the Fengchi acupoint to rub and press. After a while, the feeling of exhaustion and pain dissipated a lot, and gradually regained his usual refreshment.

"It's a good technique, I'll give you a button too?" Li Hui looked back and smiled, and saw that Wang Zixian was lying on his side with a slightly lazy expression, and replied unhurriedly: "You were the only one who was drunk last night, and I will be fine after drinking some drinking soup." As for the battle, let's wait until you're fully recovered. Otherwise, it is inevitable that there will be a suspicion of victory. ”

Even if they were well aware of the disparity in force between each other, hearing such words was enough to leave people speechless. Li Hui couldn't help but snort lightly: "Heh, don't be three days, when you look at each other, don't underestimate me." "When they first met, they used to laugh at archery, and he lost badly, but now it's not what it used to be.

"I've never underestimated you." Wang Zixian raised his eyebrows and squeezed his tight and powerful arms, "In the past two years, you should have never stopped practicing archery?" Every time, if not ten shots, it is nine out of ten. However, with your temperament, you probably don't often hunt with others, and when you hunt live animals, your head may not be like an archery target. If you go to the battlefield instead, you will definitely lose. ”

"......" Li Hui can't deny that his current archery skills have not been tempered by blood, at most he is just an empty shelf that seems to be powerful. On the other hand, my friend, when he shot the rebel, he was extremely calm, one arrow and one person, and the accuracy was enough to surprise people. When he started shooting, he could vaguely understand the disbelief and suspicion of his brother when he saw his friend's achievements.

However, perhaps because he had not experienced it himself, or perhaps because he trusted his best friend too much, although he gradually realized what was special about him, he still had no doubts about him. He even thought about how he would feel if he saw that kind of blood splattered and flesh flying in the future. However, after thinking about it countless times, he came to the same conclusion - he only felt deep admiration and wanted to rush to catch up.

“…… So what are your plans for today? ”

"We have been reunited for a long time, shouldn't we talk about our parting feelings again? Moreover, I came quietly, and probably no one in the capital knew my whereabouts, and it was not convenient to go out. Let's just stay in the vine garden together. In the future, it may be difficult to have such a leisurely time. ”

Li Hui was about to agree, but he remembered that his brother and mother had mentioned that they wanted to see their friends: "If there are no other arrangements, how about you go back to the palace with me?" My brother and aunt both want to see you, probably to ask you and me to take care of each other. You should consider talking about your plans, so that they can leave Chang'an and go to Luoyang as soon as possible. ”

The prince sighed in his heart, feeling a little regretful for losing the opportunity for the two to be alone. However, he still had a light smile on his face: "I thought that after a while, I would go to the palace with Tuyi to visit, but now I can only go there empty-handed." ”

King Pu's departure from Chang'an is also good news for him. At least, when the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law are not there, Li Hui is in charge of the Puwang Mansion, and the exchanges between them can be more casual. What's more, no matter what changes occur in their relationship, no one will notice it, let alone stop it. In this way, after they have made up their minds, there is still room to think about how to really face the pressure from these family members and come up with appropriate countermeasures.

The time, place, and people are favorable, and the sky really treats him well.

When Li Hui appeared with Wang Zixian, Li Xin was really surprised. He also sent many subordinates to keep an eye on the whereabouts of Mr. Song and the prince and his apprentices, thinking that he knew their itinerary well, how could he have expected that he would come to King Pu's mansion at this moment?

However, the surprise was only a flash, and His Royal Highness King Sipu quickly regained his composure, and raised his chin to Li Hui lightly: "San Lang, you go out, I want to say a few words to Prince Xian alone." By the way, in the past two days, Grandpa has recovered from the surprise, and he often misses you. From today on, you don't have to go to the vine garden anymore, go back to the palace to accompany Grandpa and Auntie. ”

"I understand." Li Hui made a look of "love can't help" to the prince. He was actually a little curious about his brother's words, and he was also entrusted, A-Niang must be soft-spoken, but what his brother said was very likely to be suspicious. Perhaps, he did not believe in the friendship between them, and planned to move it with interests? I hope Zixian can dispel his suspicions. After all, they will be the strongest alliance in the future, and they must not give anyone an opportunity to exploit their divisive schemes.

After he left, Li Xin didn't say a word of greeting, and said straightforwardly: "San Lang should have mentioned to you the imperial court's edict of 'changing the state to the government'. Grandpa was named the pastor of Henan Prefecture, and I will be transferred to Henan Prefecture Shaoyin. Soon we will leave Chang'an for Luoyang - he will be left alone. ”

"Such a result is exactly what Xuan Qi wants." Wang Zixian smiled slightly, "What he is most worried about is not parting, but the safety of his family." Only by going to Luoyang can we temporarily avoid Princess Anxing's schemes. Of course, the king still needs to be careful, not to teach people to grasp any tricks, or to get the opportunity to slander King Pu and have the intention of rebellion. ”

"I know very well what I should do when I arrive in Luoyang, and I don't need you to remind me." Li Xindao, staring at him deeply, "I just want to confirm, what are your plans next?" Will you stay in Beijing forever? ”

"Go to the provincial examination and win the first place." Wang Zixian replied without hesitation, "Xuan Qi is alone in Beijing, of course I will not leave Chang'an." After that, he will probably seek the position of school secretary, and secretly continue to manage the power for Xuan Qi, find out the news, and help him relieve the hidden dangers in his heart. ”

Li Xin looked at him, as if he wanted to find even the slightest hint of falsehood from his expression: "Wang Zixian, what do you want?" I don't believe that you are willing to pay silently for Saburo all the time, but you don't have any hope in your heart. If you want to use Saburo's power to make money, marriage, and a future path to prosperity, I can promise you. The only requirement is that you can never betray Saburo - at least, in front of him only as a true and sincere friend. ”

Hearing this, the prince couldn't help but sigh: "King, what I want to get is definitely not any money, marriage and green clouds. I have no interest in any of this, nor am I moved by the promises of the king or anyone else. However, if the king still feels uneasy, I can swear to the gods and Buddhas that I will never turn my back on Xuanqi. ”

Li Xin said in a deep voice: "I don't believe it, you have nothing in your heart. I don't believe that if someone else tempted you with what your heart wants, you will still treat Saburo as you did before. Those who have no desires and no desires have already been born and will never remain in the red dust. And you, obviously, are not that kind of person. Sue me, what is your desire? I only believe that only by making promises that you can only trust, and only by giving you promises that you cannot refuse, can you truly trust you in the future. ”

"An alliance with profit will be broken by profit. Why should the king be like this? ”

"If you don't ask for even a trace of 'profit', then what you ask for should be even greater."

"Of course, I have what I want—" said the prince with a smirk, "and all I ask for is to take it myself, without anyone's promise." The king is unwilling to trust me, because he thinks that I am deep in my heart, and that I am ruthless and cruel to my enemies. I don't think that's a bad thing. Treating friends and enemies should naturally be different, if you are not decisive enough to kill, how can you keep the enemy out? How can I protect the people I care about most? For me, Xuan Qi alone is much more important than the lives of thousands of opponents. Even if the blood is drifting in Beijing, I must also keep Xuanqi safe and sound. ”

“…… Remember your promises. "For a long time, Li Xin said, "I have some arrangements in Beijing, which have been handed over to San Lang, and you can also call them in the future in case of emergency." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The prince bowed.

When he went out, Li Xin frowned deeply again. Every time he saw this person, he always felt a little uneasy in his heart. He had always trusted his instincts, but he didn't know what would come true, so he never had peace of mind. It is necessary to secretly arrange some more people, keep a close eye on this person, and if there is any abnormal movement, try to remind Saburo to beware of him.

And when the prince went to meet the Yan family, he was also admonished again. Compared with Li Xin, Yan's entrustment can be described as like a spring breeze and rain, extremely soft, as if he was another child of his own. Li Hui didn't avoid it, laughing and listening to it from the side, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time.

In the midst of laughter, the prince suddenly had some illusions, as if he already had a love and family. However, the next moment, he completely came to his senses, and smiled bitterly in his heart: even if Shun Lì was favored by Xuan Qi, the Yan family would definitely not trust him as calmly as he did now.
