Looking up at the growing twilight on the horizon, Shi Jingyuan was very worried.

It's been almost two hours since Yan Rin and Rong Qian entered the imperial study, but no one came out of it. If it weren't for Yan Rin's repeated orders before that no one should approach, he really wanted to go in and have a look. Not to mention that Yan Rin was covered in blood and embarrassed, but Rong Qian's body was so badly injured that anyone with eyes could see it. Although he unbelievably saved Yan Rin in the form of a ghost, but for two consecutive days of Ling Chi, coupled with a salt water bath, as long as it is a person, he can't stand it, even if it is Yan Rin who has admired and admired Rong Qian since he grew up and gritted his teeth. What's more, in this state now, no matter what kind of thoughts Yan Rin has for Rong Qian, it is impossible to let his injuries be left like this, how can it be that he has not been sent to the imperial doctor for diagnosis and treatment for so long, it is really unusual.

The dark clouds rolling in the sky had obscured the last dim bit of daylight, and Shi Jingyuan couldn't help but clench his fists. Restless, very uneasy.

When the pouring rain accompanied by the roaring thunder fell as expected, Shi Jingyuan finally couldn't help it, risked the guilt of resisting the decree and walked to the door of the imperial study and knocked on the door, and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty, the time has passed, do you need to pass the meal?" ”

There was no answer.

He frowned and knocked twice: "Your Majesty? ”

Still nothing has been heard.

Shi Jingyuan was immediately frightened, could it be that something happened to these two people?

I couldn't help but push the door in, only to see that the study was empty, and there were still their shadows. was about to call someone, when he suddenly glanced at the corner of his clothes exposed behind the screen, and hurriedly walked over, only to find that it was Yan Rin lying quietly on the recliner with a peaceful expression, as if he was asleep.

Shi Jingyuan didn't even dare to step forward to call him for a moment, and stood there stunned. When he found that Yan Rin really seemed to be asleep, he stepped forward and patted Yan Rin on the shoulder: "Your Majesty? Your Majesty? ”

Yan Rin felt in a trance that someone called him, and a thought flashed in his mind, so startled that he couldn't help but grab the sleeves of the people around him and shouted: "Appearance!" ”

"Your Majesty!" Seeing him wake up, Shi Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Yan Rin heard that the voice was wrong, looked up, saw that it was Shi Jingyuan, and slowly exhaled: "Jingyuan...... It's you ......."

"It's me, Your Majesty, are you alright?" Shi Jingyuan saw that his face was pale, and there were still tears on his cheeks, as if he had cried, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty, are you crying?" ”

Yan Rin has always had nothing to hide from this playmate who grew up together, just looking at him is a tacit acquiescence. I let go of my hand and wanted to stand up, but the pain in my back was unbearable, so I could only lie back on my stomach.

Falling on the recliner, for a while, there seemed to be a thousand kinds of flavors pouring into Yan Rin's mouth, Rong Qian Rongqian, your injury must be thousands of times more painful than this, right? Thinking of the gentle and ruthless person, his eyes were slightly red, and he asked, "Jingyuan, what about your appearance?" ”

Shi Jingyuan was a little surprised, but still replied: "Since Your Majesty and Rong Xiang went to the study to talk secretly, no one has come out, and no one has approached. ”

"You say...... What the? Yan Rin didn't care about the pain in his body, struggled to get up, grabbed Shi Jingyuan's clothes, and repeated slowly: "You mean, he hasn't gone out all the time?" ”

Shi Jingyuan saw that he was unwell, and was a little worried, so he held him up: "Yes." The minister had been waiting outside the courtyard of the imperial study, but he didn't see him come out. ”

Yan Rin's face turned pale immediately, and his body trembled slightly, as if he was about to fall, muttering, "He's still gone...... Still gone......"

Shi Jingyuan didn't dare to let go, and wanted to help him sit down on the side, but Yan Rin shrank like a needle pricking as soon as he was next to the chair, his legs were weak, and he fell to the ground and shrunk into a ball.

Shi Jingyuan was shocked and immediately summoned the imperial doctor to come for treatment.

“…… Are you saying that Your Majesty was ...... Beat...... Finish? Shi Jingyuan didn't know whether to cry or laugh, and his face was a little ugly.

The imperial doctor is an old man, his expression has not changed at all, and he still lowers his eyebrows: "Yes, Your Majesty just suffered...... Some grievances, some blood congestion, just use some drugs to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis and apply a hot compress for a few days. It's just that in the past few days, please lie on your stomach, and you must not add to injury. ”

"I see."

Sending the imperial doctor away and instructing the attendants to go back with the imperial doctor to get the medicine, Shi Jingyuan sighed. Do you still need to ask? Who dares to beat the emperor of Yan in the whole world, except for that person, who else can there be.

Go in and see Yan Rin, he almost fainted in pain just now, and now he is lying on his stomach better, with his head sideways, shrunk in the quilt, looking pitiful, where is he still like the high-spirited young man in the court.

I didn't know how to comfort for a while, but Yan Rin spoke first: "Jingyuan, you say...... Why did Rong Xiang save me? ”

In a word, Shi Jingyuan, who asked, was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.

But Yan Rin didn't seem to want him to answer, just asked sentence by sentence, repeatedly:

"Jingyuan, tell me, why did Rong Xiang save me?"

"Jingyuan, why did he save me? I'm going to kill him! ”

"Jingyuan, why do you want to save me when I treat him like that?"

"Jingyuan, it's Ling Chi! Why...... He's going to save me? ”

"Why, you saved me, but you still want to leave me......"

His words were so poignant that he even forgot to use the honorific title of the Son of Heaven, and every time he asked, he was miserable, and every time he asked, he paused for a while, as if he was waiting for an answer, and as if he didn't wait, he just talked to himself. At the end of the question, he suddenly fell silent, and only shed tears.

Shi Jingyuan stiffened every time he heard a sentence, he remembered what Rong Qian said in prison, and hesitated whether to sue Yan Rin about this.

In fact, he also wanted to ask Yan Rin, didn't he tell you just now? Didn't you ask him too?

It's just that, looking at Yan Rin's languishing appearance, he can't ask anything, and he doesn't dare to ask.

Hearing the end, he could only look at Yan Rin silently.

Finally, he stood up and knelt down: "Minister, the sin deserves death." ”

Yan Rin looked at him strangely: "What are your crimes?" ”

Shi Jingyuan solemnly performed a courtesy of a monarch and a minister: "The emperor once ordered Weichen to go to the heavenly prison to deliver the decree, and asked Weichen to repeat all the reactions of Rongxiang, and the minister has a holy order." ”

Yan Rin thought for a moment and replied, "Yes." But when you came back that day, you interceded for him uncharacteristically, did he tell you something? ”

"Yes, Rong Xiang and his ministers have said a lot, but it is not what His Majesty thinks."

"What did he say?" Yan Rin's question was a little more eager than he even noticed.

So, Shi Jingyuan told Rong Qian about the conversation he had with him in prison that day.

“…… He also asked me to decapitate his body? Whipping corpses? Yan Rin's face at this time could no longer be described as pale and pale, just like a ghost, glaring at Shi Jingyuan fiercely.

Shi Jingyuan didn't dare to look at him, and lowered his head: "Yes." ”

Yan Rin paused, and after a while, he whispered in a trembling voice, "He...... How can this be? He...... How can you be so ruthless? ”

"Your Majesty?" Shi Jingyuan looked up at him worriedly.

After a long time, I heard Yan Rin say in a straight voice: "Jingyuan, I want to be quiet alone, you go down first." ”

"Your Majesty?" Shi Jingyuan was still worried and refused to let him go like this.

"Go down, I'll be fine." Yan Rin urged indifferently.

Shi Jingyuan looked at him and finally sighed: "Yes, Weichen retired." ”

Hearing Shi Jingyuan's footsteps moving away, Yan Rin picked up the quilt and covered herself all, and in the dark, warm liquid kept flowing out of her eyes.

Why, these tears just can't be stopped?

It turned out that what that man was thinking about at that time was not his own life and the coming pain, but whether my country and the throne were stable; It's not that I am ungrateful and wolf-hearted, but I laugh at myself for managing too much; He didn't even care about his own corpse, he only cared if I was relieved.

How could he ...... How can it be...... So cruel to himself?

He still thinks so highly of me, why did he treat me like that before? Force me to kill him.

In the end, please Jingyuan so solemnly. Since you don't feel at ease, why not protect it yourself, and ask someone else?

recalled that several old ministers were desperately admonishing him to stop him from killing Rong Qian, and vaguely some clues were formed in his mind.

It can't be, it can't be! It can't be like this! Rongxiang, you won't lie to me like that, will you?

So, I must find you! Ask clearly, why did that happen to me, and what exactly are you for?

A month later, Feng Changqing and several other important ministers returned, and Yan Rin summoned Feng Changqing to talk secretly for a long time.

Later, Shi Jingyuan found that Yan Rin seemed to have something different, as if she had grown up a lot overnight.

Standing on the imperial city, Yan Rin looked around at the garden buildings at his feet.

There, is the Imperial Garden. He used to smile and watch me paint there, and we enjoyed the spring together.

This is the Imperial Study. He used to check my window classes there, teach me to read and write, and often worked tirelessly there to handle state affairs for me until late at night.

Over there, it's the main hall. He once stood on the court, stood beside me, talked eloquently, and pointed out the country.

Deeper down there is my dormitory...... He used to hold me day and night, protect me, never tire of it, whispered, and lulled me to sleep.

Also, there is a paddock in the north, a market in the south, and a house in the prime minister's house...... There are memories of him in many corners. But why, no matter how much I think about it, I always feel that those good memories are so few, so few......

Thinking of the warm hug at the end, there was inevitably heat in my eyes.

Raising his head, he closed his eyes vigorously, letting the dry wind take away the wetness. When he opened his eyes again, he was the high-spirited, determined and fearless young man again.

This is the Yan Kingdom he left me, and it is the last great gift he gave me. I will dedicate my life to protecting it and protecting everyone who lives on this land. Because, that's the only thing I can expect for him to do.
