Li Yan looked at her silently for a while, and said lightly: "If there is disloyalty, Lone will not be spared." ”

Tsing Yi kowtowed.

Li Yan glanced up at Chi Tang's bedroom, the candles in the room were silent, and she thought she was sleeping peacefully.

He took a few steps back and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't you go to the banquet today?" Really feeling unwell? ”

Tsing Yi hesitated: "Your Highness, let's come back tomorrow and ask in person." ”

Even though Li Yan was anxious, he could only nod helplessly.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly exclaimed in the bedroom: "Xia Hui! Xia Hui! He woke up from a nightmare, and his tone was full of horror.

Li Yan felt a twitch in her heart, suddenly stopped and turned around, staring at the window of her bedroom.

The maid in the house was startled, and softly soothed, the girl whined and lit the lamp, and the maid left with a whisper, and after a while, the candles burned in the house, and the utensils in front of the window were vaguely reflected.

The girl's delicate cry gradually stopped, and there was still some muffled speech, as if she was talking to the maid.

Li Yan unconsciously walked to the window, raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, and still knocked lightly.

The sound of the room stopped for a moment, and there was a deathly silence.

"Who?" It was the maid who asked, her voice faintly frightened.

Li Yan frowned and replied in a low voice: "Ah Tang, it's lonely." ”

But doubts arose in my heart.

In her own home, there are two masters, Tsing Yi and Zhu Xian, what is this maid afraid of?

When he had answered, the room fell silent again, still dead silent.

Li Yan suddenly felt uneasy, and said: "You didn't enter the palace today, so you can't rest assured, come and have a look." ”

Chi Tang's voice finally sounded in the house: "I...... I've fallen asleep......" trembling, I don't know if I'm scared or nervous.

Li Yan couldn't say what he felt in his heart, stood still for a while, and said, "You have a good rest, and I'll come to see you tomorrow." ”

With that, he turned and walked down the cloister.

Suddenly, there was a "bang" sound in the room behind him, as if something had fallen to the ground.

Li Yan's heart moved, he stopped and turned around, just in time to see the window pushed out.

In an instant, the moonlight blended with the candlelight, gently covering the girl's hair, face, and snow-white flawless middle dress.

Her eyes are full of flowers, like the moon shadow spring river, and the flowers fall in the idle pool.

Li Yan breathed heavily, his feet seemed to be rooted in the ground, unable to move, and only looked at her intently.

"Your Highness......" she murmured softly, lowering her eyes with a look of shame and uneasiness on her face.

Li Yan finally came back to her senses, walked up the stairs, arrived at the window, raised her hands, froze on her shoulders for a moment, suddenly retracted, quickly took off her cloak, and wrapped her tightly.

Only then did he help her shoulders and whispered: "It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and it's cold at night, so you can't run out in single clothes." ”

She looked up at him and burst into tears......

……

As soon as Li Yan took the wrung hot handkerchief from the maid's hand, she saw her closing her eyes and raising her face waiting for him to wipe it, so obedient that it made people's hearts melt.

A warm cotton cloth swept across her slightly swollen eyes, and she paused.

"What's wrong today?" Li Yan asked in a low voice.

She opened her eyes, realized that the veil was still on her eyes, and immediately closed it, and asked, "Didn't Tsing Yi tell His Highness?" ”

"In the future, without your orders, Tsing Yi will not report your whereabouts to Gu again." As he spoke, he wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Chi Tang suddenly opened his eyes and looked at him in surprise.

"Tsing Yi is here to protect you, only if you trust her, she can protect you well-" Li Yan handed the veil back to Xia Hui and looked up into her eyes, "In the future, she will only obey you alone and devote herself to you." ”

Chi Tang was a little sneering: "Actually, it's nothing...... Xia Hui also listens to my father, and I trust her all the same......"

Li Yan was silent for a moment and asked, "Ah Tang doesn't believe in Lonely, right?" ”

Today was already a little strange, but when he heard Tsing Yi say that just now, he vaguely guessed something.

Most of the time, it was Miss Chi's distrust that made Tsing Yi so introspective.

And what really made her distrust was not Tsing Yi, but him behind Tsing Yi.

Chi Tang didn't expect him to guess it, so he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his heart was in turmoil, he hurriedly grabbed him and opened his mouth, but he didn't know where to start.

Li Yan sighed secretly, hugged her gently, and said in a low voice: "Don't worry, speak slowly." ”

Chi Tang only felt that all the uneasiness in his heart was instantly wiped out by this sentence, and suddenly his eyes were hot, and he burst into tears again, and he got into his arms and sobbed: "Your Highness, Your Highness...... I know it's wrong......"

Li Yan's heart was relieved, kissed the top of her hair, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She choked up and said, "I shouldn't, shouldn't doubt Your Highness......"

"Doubt Lonely?" Li Yan frowned slightly.

The little girl cried even more sadly: "I shouldn't have doubted that His Highness would kill me......"

Li Yan never expected such an answer, and was instantly stunned.

Seeing that he was silent, Chi Tang suddenly became scared, but instead stopped crying, carefully tugged at his clothes and sobbed, "I know it's wrong...... I doubt Your Highness, I suspect that Your Highness is really sad, I'm so scared ......"

He remained silent.

Chi Tang didn't dare to look up at his face, so he gradually let go of his hand and stepped back.

He took a step back before he suddenly tightened his arms and pressed her into his arms.

"Don't be afraid—" he whispered, "Lone won't hurt you......"

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and his voice became lower: "If there is a negative pond tang in the lonely, the lonely storage position will not be guaranteed, and the mountains and rivers will not continue!" ”

Chi Tang stayed for a while before he stumbled and said, "Your Highness, Your Highness doesn't need to swear like this, you don't need to-"

"It should be," Li Yan held her hand, "The first time you leave your father, even if there are more guards and maids around you, you will feel uneasy, usually you don't feel that you have anything to do, once something happens, your heart will get out of control, it's not your fault, it's that Lone is not good enough, not enough to be trusted by Ah Tang." ”

Chi Tang shook his head with tears, not knowing how to answer.

Li Yan kissed her hand and said in a low voice: "When the queen mother went, Gu had already entered the East Palace, with the love of his father and the emperor, the support of his uncle outside, and the loyalty of Wenchen and military generals around him, but Gu still felt uneasy, no one believed it, and felt that no one was single-minded for Lone-" He hugged her tightly again and rubbed the top of her hair with his chin, "No one can be trusted, it's really sad." ”

"And then?" Chi Tang couldn't help but ask.

"Then I got used to it."

"Got used to it?" Chi Tang was in a hurry, and struggled to look at him, "How did you get used to it?" What are you used to? ”

Li Yan smiled slightly, stroked her face and said: "I am used to accepting everyone's selfishness and taking what I need, which is simpler and more reliable than simple trust; Moreover, if you can stand up yourself, you don't need to trust others. ”

Chi Tang thought for a while, and was stunned: "If you get used to it, won't you be sad?" ”

"No—" He kissed her lightly and said softly, "It's because of Ah Tang, I'm never sad anymore." ”

Maybe it's because of her clumsy care, maybe it's because she's defenseless, maybe it's because she's who she is.

"No one can be trusted, it's really sad, I don't want Ah Tang to be sad;"

"If vows give you peace of mind, that's what Lone should do."
