When the candle is lit, Yi Zhixing can finally see the appearance of the person on the couch.

Under the not-so-bright candlelight, the Son of Heaven saw a face that had always made his heart long, and Zhilan also saw the crystal that seemed to still remain in the corner of Yi Zhixing's eye at the same moment.

At this moment, Zhi Lan was undoubtedly moved, but the man on the side pounced on him and hugged him tightly.

"Lan'er...... It's really you...... Is it really you? ”

Yi Zhixing still didn't dare to be sure, even if the warmth in his arms did exist, he couldn't believe that the woman who thought he was accompanying him actually came to his eyes in an instant, and Yi Zhixing didn't dare to dream of such delusions. At this moment, the word ecstasy is not enough to describe the joy that fills the heart of the Son of Heaven, and he is so excited that he can't wait to melt Zhilan in his arms.

"It's me...... Easy trip, sorry ......"

Zhi Lan did not refuse the man's embrace, on the contrary, she even hugged him back, and her mixed feelings were more about the shame and pity in her heart, especially after seeing the tears in the corners of the eyes of the Son of Heaven, Zhi Lan suddenly felt that her departure was a great mistake.

"Why did you come back? When did you return? Why don't you say the same thing? Do you know how much I miss you? ”

The man buried his head in the woman's shoulder and neck, and his voice seemed to be hoarse.

"It was Yan Qi who asked me to surprise you, so I didn't tell you when I returned."

"This damn Yan Qi! Fang just deceived me, he deceived me, you have run away with Suijing! ”

At the mention of Sui Jing, Zhi Lan's moving heart seemed to be suddenly shrouded in a layer of haze, and under that haze buried her thoughts and painful emotions, she knew that it seemed impossible for her to be with Sui Jing anymore, but every time she thought of this, Zhi Lan still couldn't help but feel sorry.

Suddenly, the Son of Heaven let go of the woman's body, and immediately solemnly looked at Zhilan's body, as if he was probing something.

"By the way, how are your injuries? I have heard that the monarch of the Mu Kingdom has been hostile to you for a while, so I will go and ask the imperial doctor for you now, and take a good look! ”

The Son of Heaven wanted to leave, but Zhilan suddenly grabbed him.

"Hey! No need, my injuries have already been coated with plaster, and if it doesn't matter for the time being, I'll see tomorrow. ”

"Okay, then I'll see it tomorrow, I'll watch it with you."

The Son of Heaven's mouth has not closed since he saw Zhi Lan, and there is always a deep smile on his lips, and the haggard moment carved by Zhi Lan's departure in the past has also disappeared in this moment, and the brilliance of his hot pupils is too warm, which makes Zhi Lan bow his head again and again, not daring to look directly into his eyes.

"You...... You're crying......"

Zhi Lan deliberately mentioned it, who expected that Yi Zhixing, who recalled all the circumstances of the right talent, suddenly became nervous, his words were slurred, and his eyes were even more uncertain.

"I ...... I didn't cry! You are talking nonsense, I didn't cry at all, that's your illusion! ”

When the Son of Heaven was ashamed, it was Zhilan who dared to look directly at her eyes, but when she saw her sly outline the curvature of the corners of her lips, she then quipped endlessly, "Is it? It wasn't you who called me with a crying voice? I was moved for a while, it turned out that all this was my illusion! ”

Zhi Lan deliberately pretended to be regretful, but the current Yi Zhixing suddenly stuffed her body into her arms again: "That's me!" It's me! I did cry! It's done, right? None of that is your illusion, then everything is me! You continue to be moved, don't stop! ”

The words of the Son of Heaven made Zhi Lan laugh, how could she never have imagined that a cruel monarch would have such a lovely side. To be honest, Zhilan would rather someone cry in her arms than have her freedom forcibly restrained.

"Okay, okay, I continue to be moved, I don't stop, I will remember your crying at that time for the rest of my life."

"You are talking nonsense, you are blind in the dark, where did you see my crying? I don't want you to remember such a ridiculous side for the rest of your life! ”

"I don't think it's funny, I think your fragile side is cute, like a child."

Zhilan's rare praise made Yi Zhixing's cheeks red, he buried his head in Zhilan's neck, and his body unconsciously leaned on the woman's arms, these hardships that have been around his body for a long time have been cured by Zhilan's warmth, if he can do this for a lifetime, Yi Zhixing will no longer feel that his life is unintentional.

"Lan'er, can you not leave...... I...... I need you...... It's more ...... than Sui Jing."

The Son of Heaven came out coldly with such a sentence, and in an instant, Zhi Lan's heart, which was still joking, suddenly froze, and her eyes began to be dyed with the meaning of grief and loneliness, she didn't know where her life would go, and the gentleness given by the gentle son in the past was not even as rich as the person in front of her. In Yi Zhixing's body, Zhilan felt unprecedented protection and care, and more importantly, Yi Zhixing could pave a layer of stability for her restless heart, at least in this regard, Sui Jing, who has a new wife, can't do it.

"I ...... I don't think I'm leaving......"

After being silent for a long time, Zhilan said this sentence with great difficulty. If it weren't for Sui Jing's change, Zhilan probably wouldn't have made any promises to Yi Zhixing, and even the uncertain promise would not have been spit out.

However, hearing this, Yi Zhixing was far more excited than Zhi Lan expected, he pulled Zhi Lan's body out of his arms, and then clasped her arms tightly, looking at her with wide eyes: "This ...... Really? Are you really not going to leave me? Can you really stay by my side for the rest of your life? ”

The Son of Heaven couldn't believe his ears, once upon a time, there was a one-year covenant between them, and when Yi Zhixing protected Zhi Lan's safety and ruthlessly eliminated the one-year covenant within a few months, Zhi Lan was able to say that he would not leave again, which was undoubtedly an unexpected surprise.

Looking at the excited and hot eyes at the moment, Zhilan seemed to have been assimilated, and the sense of loss that arose with Jing disappeared, replaced by a firmer conviction.

The woman bowed her head and smiled, "Well, if you want, I think I should be able to stay by your side forever." ”

Zhi Lan herself didn't know why she wanted to say this vow, she didn't know where her life would go on the way here, and there was almost confusion ahead, but when she saw Yi Zhixing's face full of longing with her own eyes, Zhi Lan could at least subconsciously hope for a possible future to him. In any case, she has become more and more unbearable to hurt Yi Xing, and maybe when this unbearable emotion accumulates, all her feelings will turn into love.

"Great! That's great! Can you know how happy I am today? Lan'er, I never dreamed that I would be able to see you return again, and that you wouldn't leave my side after you returned! ”

Yi Zhixing's ecstasy was obvious to all, but Zhilan lowered her eyes at this time.

"That'...... Don't you want to know why I'm back all of a sudden? Maybe...... Maybe I have a purpose? You don't know the motive for my return......"

After these words, Yi Zhixing took the woman into his arms again, and at the same time caressed her head with his right hand, as if comforting, and his tone was extremely gentle and gentle.

"Lan'er, it's okay, you don't have to worry about it, as long as you are willing to be by my side, whether it is out of affection for me or your interests, I don't care, all I care about is being able to see you every day and stay by your side every day. Do you know that in this huge palace, you are the only one I want to rely on the most, and I hate to keep you in my arms all the time, so that I will not be lonely wherever I go in the future. ”

The words of the Son of Heaven made Zhi Lan immersed in boundless emotion again, and she was more sure in her heart that Yi Zhixing's gentleness today is definitely more than Sui Jing's, and for Zhi Lan, who has grown up alone since childhood, there is nothing in this world that is more obsessive than wholehearted care.

Yi Zhixing gave her the gentleness she wanted, and of course she didn't want to live up to Yi Zhixing.

The next morning, the two woke up together, although they slept together, nothing happened between the two, and Yi Zhixing got a good night's sleep in Zhilan's arms.

"Lan'er ......"

Seeing that the man in front of her was still calling for herself when he was sleepy-eyed, Zhilan was suddenly enveloped in an indescribable warmth, which she had not received in Sui Jing in a few months.

"Let's go to the morning court, the hour is not early, this place is far away from the morning court, you have to go quickly."

"What? Are you in such a hurry to get rid of me? I've only been with you for one night, and you're getting impatient? ”

"Yes, I'm impatient, I'll sneak away when you're in the morning."

The woman deliberately joked, but Yi Zhixing arrogantly embraced her body into her arms, which made Zhi Lan breathless, and I don't know whether the red on Zhi Lan's cheeks at this time was born from embarrassment or because of depression, in short, her demeanor was obviously a lot softer.

"You dare! If you escape, I will seal the gates of the city and see how you get out!" ”

"Yi Zhixing, do you think there's anything I can't do? Didn't I escape this time before the Xundi City Gate was completely blocked? That ......"

Fang wanted to mention Sui Jing, Zhi Lan suddenly stopped, and Yi Zhixing's eyes also sank at the same time.

After a long time, the man turned his gaze back to the person in front of him, and then asked solemnly: "Lan'er, do you still like him?" ”

When he said this, the Son of Heaven's heart ached, but the tangible warmth he felt in his arms reduced most of his heartache. At least Zhilan was willing to stay by her side, and that would be enough.

Zhi Lan bowed her head and did not deny it, but she raised her gaze at the same time, and her sincere eyes kept staring at the Son of Heaven.

"But it's impossible for me to be with him, he has his own wife, not to mention that Princess Mu is now pregnant, I don't want to be entangled in the feelings of others, I won't go back, no matter what happens."

When the words fell, Zhi Lan's eyes fell into contemplation again, although her mouth was full of determination, her heart was being torn apart by something at the same time, and Zhi Lan once again felt confused about the days ahead.

The next moment, Yi Zhixing's kiss suddenly fell on the woman's forehead, Zhilan was caught off guard, but Yi Zhixing whispered in her ear.

"Then stay by my side, if you still care about Sui Jing in the future, then you will go back, I will not stop you, but before that, you will accompany me for the time being, no matter what, there is also a place for you to stay in this huge Yin Palace, you can come back at any time, and you can leave at any time, I will not imprison you anymore."

Zhi Lan's pupils flickered fiercely in her eye sockets, and she didn't know how she could be so blessed. That's right, the gentle son of the past is no longer there, but the vicious king has been transformed into a gentleness that Zhilan can't erase from the bottom of her heart.
