………… After that, both of them were gasping, but Aiqing was so tired that she didn't even bother to lift her head, so she leaned on Jing Tingrui's shoulder, and Jing Tingrui held him and brought him back to the bed. [No pop-up novel network]

"You can sleep for a while." Jing Tingrui said, holding Aiqing with his arms and kissing his Wu gently.

Aiqing's clothes were disheveled, his cheeks were ruddy, like a well-fed cat, and the witch finch birthmark on his left shoulder was blooming gorgeously like a monster, which was bright.

Jing Tingrui stared at the tread pattern for a long time, then lowered his head and kissed Aiqing.

"Rarity......." Aiqing smiled slightly, comfortably rested her head on Jing Tingrui's laps, and lay on her side and shrunk her legs, because his back was covered with small scratches.

"Tsk......" Jing Tingrui seemed to blame himself, so he sighed like this.

※※※

In the middle of the night, the peach-shaped bronze lamp casts a dim shadow on the carpet, making this luxurious but overly expansive palace even more silent and deep.

Flying under the porch outside the hall of fireflies, like floating stars, but even such a view could not dispel the indescribable loss in Yan's heart.

He sat on the floor on the steps under the porch, and in front of him was a carved low table, on which was a pot of pear blossom wine and a white jade wine cup, and he had drunk most of the pot.

'How can I let the royal brother do that......! In addition to being lonely, Yan's heart also accumulated resentment.

Speaking of which, he had guessed early on that Aiqing would sneak away to visit Jing Tingrui in the prison of the Ministry of War, so he sent his cronies to keep an eye on the movements of Changchun Palace.

On the one hand, he didn't want Aiqing to put himself in danger, but after learning that he had prepared his night clothes, he did not hesitate to garrison Changchun Palace for him, so as not to cause any emergencies, and the ministers could not find the emperor.

In the prison, he also spent a lot of money to buy off the guards, so that even if they showed anything, they would treat it as if they didn't see it, in other words, Yan "escorted" Aiqing's sneaking into the prison.

Of course, Yan knew that Aiqing's light skills were good, and under the cover of night, it would not be so easy to be revealed.

The problem is that he obviously doesn't want Aiqing to be so close to Jing Tingrui, but because he feels sorry for Aiqing, he can't help but become his "accomplice".

Yan also knew how serious the consequences would be if someone showed up. Aiqing is the emperor, and he is no longer the crown prince who even if he makes a mistake, he has his father behind him to help play the round.

If this matter is known by the prime minister and others, it will definitely turn the world upside down!

Soon after Aiqing ascended the throne, his power was not stable, and if he was not careful, he would become a puppet emperor manipulated by his old ministers.

Yan sighed and drank another glass of wine, but it seemed that the more he drank, the clearer his mind became, and he felt very guilty that he was spoiling the royal brother so much that he might harm him.

"Your Highness." Someone knelt at the foot of the stone steps, and the shadow of the black ghost was like a ghost.

"Huh?"

"The emperor is still in prison, and he has not been revealed." The man reported.

"The two of them have been like this before, and they have endless words in private, and now they haven't seen each other for a while...... The royal brother would not have left so soon. Yan drank the stuffy wine for most of the night, and this tone sounded even more depressed and depressed.

"Let's go and explore the little ones."

"No need." Yan waved his hand and said, "Saha, you come and drink with me." ”

The slender figure moved upward, revealing a face that looked different from the Great Yan in the candlelight. The cheekbones are relatively high, the eye color is very light, like mercury, and it is more like an animal like a wild fox than a human.

He is a native of Xiliang, and the location of Xiliang is so far away that he was excluded from the Ten Kingdoms by Emperor Taishang. That kind of place, even if it is included in the national land, has no rule*. I heard that there was nothing but the desert and the extremely harsh climate.

"With all due respect, you've drunk too much tonight." Saha looked at his master, who was already a little younger than him, and admonished.

Yan is only fifteen years old, but in his speech and demeanor, he does not look like an ignorant teenager at all, he is calm, wise, noble, and has an innate royal arrogance.

He was like a sapphire, radiating dazzling brilliance in Saha's eyes. At the beginning, the moment he saw Yan on the imperial road of the imperial city, Saha thought that this young man was the person he was looking for.

And now, Saha is Yan's doorman and servant, serving Yan without distraction.

"You're a lot of mouths!" Yan glanced at him and frowned disapprovingly, "I drank it when I was in a bad mood." ”

"Yes." Saha didn't stop it anymore, but Yan put down his wine glass, looked at the fireflies fluttering in the thick night, and sighed in a low voice, "I'm disappointed, I thought that no matter how much the imperial brother worried about that guy, he wouldn't let go of the ......emperor's identity for him!" ”

"Maybe the imperial brother doesn't care about the respect of the emperor, but for me, the imperial brother is everything, and it is an existence that cannot be insulted......"

Yan talked a lot at this moment, but he soon stopped talking, his brows furrowed, and his thoughts drifted back to the past with the heat of wine.

========================================================

'Click, click. ’

Yan was awakened by a strange sound, rubbed his eyes, and looked at the dormitory, which was really too big for him to be six years old.

This is Jinrong Palace, when he left the nursery at the age of four, his father gave him this palace built on the mountain, as its name suggests, it not only has a large verdant bamboo forest, a courtyard with peonies in bloom, but also the furnishings are extremely luxurious.

The people who live in this palace together include nearly 50 people, including nannies and grandmothers, accompanying eunuchs, eunuchs holding lamps, washing and cleaning palaces.

But what Yan usually sees is the nanny, and the little eunuch who accompanies him to study. Others are scattered in all corners and perform their own duties.

At the end of the long day, after Yan fell asleep, the nanny and the palace maid retreated to the next room, separated by a curtain.

Yan has become accustomed to sleeping alone, and since he was sensible, his father has not been able to see each other, because there are always ministers who have to discuss with his father.

And his 'queen mother' is not around.

In the past, whenever he clamored to see the 'queen mother', his father would come to see him and tell him that he should be called 'Daddy', and he also wanted him to remember that his father's name was 'Ke Weiqing'.

Yan can't remember his father's appearance, but he only remembers that there was such a man who loved him very much, always hugged him, and affectionately called him 'Yan'er'.

His father told him that his father was not in the palace now, but that he would come back one day and return to the three of them.

And for that day of reunion, my father has to do a lot of things now, he wants to make 'Daddy' rightfully become his 'queen mother'.

For these things, even if Yan listens to them, he doesn't seem to understand. However, he looked forward to this day as much as his father, but until then, he had to be with himself.

Except for the imperial brother Aiqing, who was one year older, no one else dared to play with him, and when they saw him, it was too late to kowtow.

Therefore, hearing this 'click' sound, Yan didn't think about going over to find someone, but looked curiously at the source of the sound, a closed window facing the mountain forest.

There shouldn't be anyone there, Yan knew that the guards were standing at the gate, and the eunuchs were all asleep.

'It's windy? Yan got up with all his might, and there were only two silk lamps left in the hall, and there was black light everywhere, and he never felt that the night was so dark.

However, he did not hear the howling of the wind, but the temple was so quiet that he could hear the crackling of the wick burning.

'Click, click! Suddenly, the whole window shook, and Yan was stunned for a moment, staring at it firmly.

Someone must be there! Yan thought so, so he dared to climb out of bed, and when he was about to walk over, something suddenly remembered in his head.

'The grove seems to be haunted...... I bumped into Xiao Ruan's father-in-law last night, and people are not very good at this time! These are the words whispered by the two palace maids standing under the porch during the day.

'No, that ghost is fierce!' Green-faced fangs! The palace maids who answered the call turned white with fright, and then, when they saw Yan, they hurriedly saluted and left quickly.

Yan didn't know what 'haunting' was, she just thought it was a bad thing, otherwise, why was the palace maid so scared?
