Yuan Chenhao didn't speak, and then continued to walk forward.

Satsuki also noticed that her tone was a little too heavy, she stuck out her tongue, followed him, and continued to walk down the mountain.

The night was already deep, and the bright moon in the sky was bright, but the wind in the middle of the night was constant, and Xiao Yue felt that the wind was even stronger halfway up the mountainside, so she put the cloak and hat back on, and then shrunk her hands into her sleeves.

"Wen Yue, do you know how many people died in our battle with the secret kingdom this time?"

"The grass people don't know anything about military affairs, and they don't know how many people have died. ”

Yuan Chenhao looked up at the sky lanterns looming in the sky, and said with some heaviness: "Two hundred and fifty-six lanterns were put today because we died 256,000 people. For those who have no experience of war at all, the number of people who died in the war is just a number, and I know that they were all living people. ”

It was the first time that Satsuki had heard him talk about the war, and she didn't interject, just listened to him quietly.

"It's really too easy to die, especially in war. But when a man dies, there is nothing, just like my father, who will never see me again, who will not see me, and who will not see him. ”

"So the war is terrible, you probably haven't seen it before, and I don't want you to see it like that. I hope that in my lifetime, there will be no more wars. ”

I don't know if he felt that Satsuki didn't respond, or if he was lost in thought, and there was silence between the two for a while.

"Wen Yue, are you free these days?"

"Huh?" Xiao Yue didn't expect him to ask suddenly, and she was a little unhurried.

"I'd like to discuss with you about the salt and iron franchise. ”

"Oh, I guess I'm free. "Xiaoyue doesn't know when Xiaolan and they will arrive in Yingjun City, according to the previous letter, it is estimated that it will arrive in the next few days, and she will definitely accompany them at that time.

"Well, then I'll have someone pass you into the palace at that time. ”

Xiao Yue felt that Yuan Chenhao was a little moody tonight, she didn't want to argue with him again, so she gave two obedient gratitudes.

"Wen Yue, did you write Wen Youyou's recital on the reform of official governance?"

Xiao Yue beat a drum in her heart, this person played cards out of order, asking East for a while, asking West for a while, and answering every time he was unprepared.

"I didn't write it. She knew that Yuan Chenhao would definitely not believe it, so it was better to tell the truth, "I'll just give him a few suggestions." ”

"Those suggestions are yours?"

Xiao Yue smiled and said, "How can this be distinguished, we discussed it together." ”

Yuan Chenhao sneered and stopped talking.

Xiao Yue felt a little breathless, this person was obviously out of breath tonight, and his mood was also cloudy.

"Chen Baiyu, the secretary of the household department, handed over a note on tax reduction a few days ago. He told me that you added the tax increase. ”

This question ignited the fire in Xiaoyue's heart.

"Your Majesty, it's the Spring Festival holiday, can you not talk about state affairs?"

Yuan Chenhao listened, stopped, and turned to look at her.

When Xiao Yue went down the mountain just now, her steps were difficult, and she finally got a way, and now she can basically catch up with Yuan Chenhao's pace, but as soon as he turned around like this, Xiao Yue didn't expect it at all, and the inertia of going down the mountain made her rush into Yuan Chenhao's arms again.

And this time, Yuan Chenhao was unwilling to push her away.

"What else can you talk to me about?"

Satsuki threw herself into his chest and wanted to struggle to leave, but she was surrounded by him and couldn't move.

They were so close that Xiao Yue could smell the unique sandalwood on Yuan Chenhao's body, and heard his pounding heartbeat, she felt that the current situation was very bad, and the two big men hugged each other under the moon, and it must be a scandal to spread it.

"Your Majesty, do you want to talk to me like this?"

Yuan Chenhao lowered his head, looked at Xiao Yue in his arms, and felt a little tingling in his heart when he heard her say this, and then reluctantly let go of her.

Xiao Yue took a few steps back, feeling that she was almost as tall as him, and now she no longer had to look up at Yuan Chenhao, she looked at him with her eyes, and said word by word:

"Your Majesty, I don't know if you have something on your mind today, but I, Wenyue, am just a grass people, I hope the emperor won't tease me. ”

Yuan Chenhao smiled bitterly, he immediately turned his back to Xiao Yue, and said in a low voice: "I really envy Wen Youyou, he can have a confidant like you." ”

Xiao Yue sighed in her heart when she heard this, what did Yuan Chenhao mean by this, at this time she couldn't figure it out, so she had to reply: "The emperor also has a confidant, why should you envy others." ”

Yuan Chenhao listened, turned to look at Xiao Yue's bright eyes and asked, "Then are you willing to be my confidant?"

"Huh?" Satsuki's eyes widened and her mouth widened, not knowing how to answer.

Yuan Chenhao suddenly stretched out his right hand and helped her remove a dead leaf from her hat.

Xiao Yue was stunned by his actions, she was thinking in her heart to guess if Yuan Chenhao also likes men, if so, it is really too dangerous for her to dress as a man like this.

"Would you like to?"

Xiao Yue found that the conversation between the two of them was really not an ordinary ambiguity, she didn't know how to answer, and finally stiffened, lowered her head and gave a gentle sigh, and didn't dare to look up at Yuan Chenhao's expression.

Yuan Chenhao sighed lightly when he heard this, and said slowly: "I don't want to force you, if you don't want to, then I haven't said it." With that, he turned and walked down the hill.

When he was about to reach the bottom of the mountain, he stopped again, and this time Satsuki had experience, and even if he could keep up with him, he kept a safe distance.

He pointed to a trail in front of him and said to Xiaoyu: "This place is very close to the foot of the mountain, you shouldn't need me to send you, you can go down the mountain from here." ”

Xiao Yue looked at the path in front of her that there was a very hidden passage, she guessed that this path was estimated to lead to a small gate in the imperial city, she nodded, "The grass people have taken their leave." After speaking, Xiaoyue passed by Yuan Chenhao and walked down the mountain without looking back.

She didn't know that Yuan Chenhao behind her had been standing in place, facing the snow wind, watching her go away.

Xing Xiaoyu suddenly appeared beside Yuan Chenhao, "Your Majesty, do you need me to escort him?"

Yuan Chenhao shook his head, "It is estimated that Wen Youyou is already nearby." After speaking, he smiled bitterly and touched a delicate purse hanging from his waist, and his heart was mixed.

Xing Xiaoyu suggested on the side, "Your Majesty, it's not too early, we should also go back to the palace." ”

Yuan Chenhao still shook his head, "Don't worry, wait a little longer." ”

"Yes. Xing Xiaoyu retreated into the darkness again.

At this moment, Yuan Chenhao has confirmed his feelings, he has never liked anyone, but he actually has strange emotions for a man, and this man may have an extraordinary relationship with Wen Youyou, and his heart has already been in chaos.
