In the court

"You Aiqing have something to play, and you have nothing to retreat!" The emperor frowned and frequently rubbed his forehead with his hands.

Chao Yicen was the first to notice his abnormality, and asked with concern: "Father, the son seems to be in poor spirits, and you are still in good health recently?" ”

The emperor smiled with relief: "Cen Er has a heart, my father is just a head disease, and there is some minor pain, so there is no need to worry about it." ”

"That's good." Chao Yicen breathed a sigh of relief, and then clenched his fists, his face was extremely serious: "Father, there has been an army in the south recently that has frequently harassed and tempted our border, and my son is willing to ask Ying to go to war to destroy this force and protect my Chaoyu safety!" "Bow down and ask for your life.

The emperor was instantly overjoyed, and his face was excited, "Hahaha, Cen Er is really brave, worthy of being my eldest son, and he did not disappoint his father." Good! Tomorrow, you will go out immediately, and your father will set up a school field to sacrifice, and personally beat the drum for you to see you off! ”

Chao Yijing stood up at the right time, knelt down with Chao Yicen, kowtowed and said: "Father, the front is in danger, and the sons are willing to go with the eldest brother, and they will definitely be able to help the prosperity of our army!" ”

"Jing'er? Do you want to go with you? Fighting is not a child's play, your eldest brother has accumulated enough experience in the battlefield for a long time, so that your father dares to trust him with this task. You haven't experienced it yet, and my father is really worried. ”

"Father, the sons are not impulsive, the eldest brother is indeed familiar with the things on the battlefield, and the sons are also very trusting. But Erchen was unwilling to live in a greenhouse for a long time, and only learned to talk on paper. Thinking that if there is an enemy army attacking in the future, I can also contribute to my Chaoyudu, and I hope that my father will allow it! Then he slammed his head on the ground.

The emperor happily flicked his sleeves and nodded with satisfaction: "Jing'er's heart really makes my father happy, good!" I will allow you to go with Cen Er. Then he looked at Chao Yicen, "Cen Er, you must take care of your sixth brother." ”

"Please rest assured that my father will protect the sixth brother and live up to the trust!"

Out of the main hall, Chao Yicen's face became extremely embarrassed, and he asked angrily: "Yijing, what are you thinking?" ”

Chao Yijing didn't care at all, "The sixth brother just wants to walk with the eldest brother, and has no other meaning." ”

"You think I'm going to believe it? I tell you, don't let me find out what you're doing! ”

"Big brother ......" Chao Yijing was obviously a little frustrated, and directly showed his cards with an uneven breath: "No matter what the sixth brother does, it is for the future throne of the eldest brother, is the eldest brother willing to send someone to the fence for the rest of his life?" How did Chao Yishen treat you since he was a child, did he forget your eldest brother? The eldest brother just needs to be your good person, and the sixth brother will definitely help you pave the way! ”

"If it's a throne obtained by despicable means, I'd rather not! My opponent is only Chao Yishen, I will deal with him personally, and I warn you not to attack others! ”

Chao Yijing tugged at the corners of his mouth indifferently, "Big brother, don't worry, I have my own way of doing things, and I won't touch people I shouldn't touch." ”

"It's good to know!" Chao Yicen turned around angrily and left the main hall angrily.

Chao Yijing looked at his back, shook his head and sighed: "Big brother, big brother, why don't you understand, it is impossible for someone not to sacrifice on this road, even the closest person." ”

After Chao Yicen returned to the palace, he saw Ruan Yingying sitting on a chair in the main hall crying and crying. He was already upset, and when he saw it, he was even more angry, but she was pregnant, and she shouldn't be angry.

"Yizen, why did you take the initiative to ask for help? Don't you know that this is going to be more than lucky?! You don't even want to think about me and the child in my belly? What can we do if something happens to you......" Ruan Yingying couldn't hold back when she saw him, and cried with grievances.

Chao Yicen patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Don't cry, it's not like I won't come back." ”

Ruan Yingying's face was dissatisfied, and she got up and pointed to the door with a bitter face: "What if you can't come back?" There are so many emperor's sons, why did you let you go? Why! ”

Chao Yicen sighed helplessly, "How can there be so many whys, you go back to sleep quickly, I have to get up early tomorrow." ”

"I don't want you to go!" Ruan Yingying hugged Chao Yicen with a sad face again, not wanting him to leave: "You are not allowed to go tomorrow!" ”

Chao Yicen patted her on the head, "Okay, I promise you that I will come back, okay?" Don't worry, it's not good to miss the auspicious time tomorrow. ”

"Really?"

"Really."

"Okay, the child and I are waiting for you to come back, if you dare not come back, we will go to you." Ruan Yingying let go of Chao Yicen and returned to the room with red eyes.

Chao Yicen sat back in his chair tiredly and looked ahead of him and lost his mind, and at this moment his mind was filled with the figure of a person. He wanted to be impulsive again, but reason told him he couldn't. She has become more and more distant from him, and may never cross paths again......

At dawn the next day, the soldiers at the city gate held spears and wore armor, with solemn expressions and solemn faces. The entire army formed a black oppressive piece, and the iron weapons of the soldiers exuded bursts of cold air, and the birds had to make a detour when they passed by. There was silence and silence all around, and the soldiers were placed in the most appropriate position like a bottle of humanoid stands, not daring to make any noise.

Chao Yicen rode a horse at the front, Chao Yijing was on his side, and the two looked at the group of people on the city tower, their eyes were extremely firm.

The dull sound of the horn pierced the sky, and an afterglow fell, and the marching ranks began to slowly squirm.

Chao Yicen glanced back, only to find Ruan Yingying crying and waving on the city tower, he shook his head helplessly and continued to scan around. He kept looking for the man, but in the end he didn't show up.

"Big brother, what are you looking for?"

"Nothing, let's go!" He turned his senses back to look ahead, the tenderness in his eyes gradually replaced by the cold-blooded chill that was unique to killing enemies on the battlefield.

Ruan Bing immediately set out to look for Xiaoxiao after learning that she was in the original place, and sure enough, she found Xiaoxiao in that dilapidated room and brought him back to the Three Kings' Mansion.

Ruan Bing squatted down and looked at the child in front of him with physical and mental pain, and asked with a smile: "Xiaoxiao, you are finally back, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

"Xiaoxiao is not uncomfortable, what about my sister? Xiaoxiao hasn't seen her sister for a long time, and Xiaoxiao misses her sister so much. ”

Smiling and immature face was full of expectation, and his eyes were exactly the same as Lingling's, they were all so full of aura.

Ruan Bing looked at him, tried his best to suppress the tears that kept rolling in his eyes, and rubbed his head gently, "Xiaoxiao, my sister is not here now, she is asleep in a very beautiful place, Xiaoxiao don't disturb my sister's sleep, okay?" ”

"But Xiaoxiao really misses my sister...... " Xiaoxiao lowered her head silently, and began to speak cautiously. His eye sockets were covered with a layer of tears, and he was about to fall, but he was holding back.

Ruan Bing became more and more distressed and guilty, how could he be so sensible, shouldn't such a young child cry when he encounters something? lost his parents early, and now he doesn't even have his sister who depends on each other, so in the end he involved these two innocent people.

"Smile and don't cry, when my sister wakes up, we'll go to her again, okay? My sister said that as long as Xiaoxiao is obedient, she will wake up soon to see Xiaoxiao. ”

Xiaoxiao raised her head suddenly, her face was full of surprise, and then nodded vigorously at Ruan Bing, "Well, Xiaoxiao must be obedient!" Xiaoxiao wants to see her sister early! ”

Ruan Bingqiang smiled and pulled him into her arms, she wanted to comfort him, and at the same time she was comforting herself.

After putting Xiaoxiao to sleep, Ruan Bing eagerly pulled Chao Yishen out of the room, "Chao Yishen, shall we take Xiaoxiao in?" We treat him like our own child and tell him the truth when he grows up. ”

"It's all up to you."

Ruan Bing was a little surprised that he agreed so readily, and continued to ask: "Then you have to promise me that you will treat him well until he grows up." ”

"I promise you."

"Thank you." Ruan Bing finally breathed a sigh of relief. You must be leaving, so take care of everything and leave without worrying.

Chao Yi knew that she had always felt guilty about Lingling's death, but why wasn't he? Raising Xiaoxiao was what he should do, and Ruan Bing also liked this child.
