Since the last time he came back from King Jin's Zhuangzi, Xiao Junjue has locked himself in this room, not eating, just drinking.

When you are drunk, you can relieve a little pain, and when you are drunk, you can sleep and see Rong Zhao in your dreams, he thinks, maybe Rong Zhao will not come back for the rest of his life, and he will be drunk and dream like this for the rest of his life.

Watching the person who had protected him everywhere turn to stand in front of others, protecting others, at that moment his heart was no different from this messy wine jar fragment.

There are only two people in his life to protect him, one is his mother, who is dead, and the other is Rong Zhao, but he has forgotten everything.

His two most important men were gone from him.

Xiao Xuanqi couldn't understand what he said, so he kicked Xiao Junjue's wine jar away with a kick, and looked at him angrily, "You are the famous King of Chu in the Great Zhou, how many people regard you as a hero, and your blood should be thrown on the battlefield, not in a woman's boudoir." Look at you, ragged and languishing, are you still the god of war who is admired by all people? Women are woe, and this is true!"

"Hero, God of War?" Xiao Junjue curled and smiled sadly, "It's nice to say, but it's just a butcher." He muttered in a low voice, "Maybe it's because I killed too many people that God punished me like this." ”

Xiao Xuanqi simply hated that iron could not become steel, so he picked up his shirt and dragged him up from the ground, "What kind of punishment from God? Do you also believe this? Aren't you not without Rongzhao? Then go and find it, what are you doing here drunk like mud? You are here, even if she dies, can she come back?"

Xiao Junjue lifted his hand away, and because he had been sitting for a long time, he staggered when he stood up. Wine jugs were everywhere, and he picked up the small half-pot on the table, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp, and then threw it outside into the grass by the window.

There is a pomegranate flower in the courtyard, blooming like agate, red like clouds, remembering last year, it is also this season, the best time for pomegranate flowers to bloom, Rong Zhao stood under the pomegranate flower and smiled at him.

In a trance, he seemed to see her, standing in that place, waving at him. Xiao Xuanqi didn't pay attention, and saw him rush out.

Until he was under the tree, he grabbed into the air, but he didn't catch anything, and the man who was smiling at him suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Xuanqi looked at his soulless appearance, sighed slightly, and sighed in his heart, this person should still be ruthless and unrighteous, he will not worry about a person, he will not lose his soul for a person, and he will not lose himself because of a person.

"As a royal person, what you shouldn't have is feelings, once you have feelings, you have weaknesses, and you become weaknesses, which you are not as good as Xiao Jinyu. Perhaps, because of this, you lost to him. ”

He walked up to Xiao Junjue and said.

Xiao Junjue laughed at herself, "That's not all I lost to him. ”

Xiao Xuanqi was furious and rolled her eyes. He changed his words and said: "A few days ago, Jiang Shuhang made trouble in the Qinglou, and he had a dispute with someone over the Oiran, and he beat someone to death. The father did not show mercy to Chang Shengbo, and directly handed it over to the three divisions for trial, and he was sentenced to be executed after the autumn, and Chang Shengbo was ill because of this. Also, if he lost two sisters-in-law at once, it's no wonder that he can support it. He has only these two sons-in-law, and he doesn't know who will inherit the prosperous Bofu in the future. ”

He looked at Xiao Junjue with narrow eyes, and said tentatively: "You can't design this, right?"

Xiao Junjue glanced at him indifferently, turned around and entered the room again, Xiao Xuanqi smacked her lips, quite angry, "You-I don't care about you anymore, if you like to drink to death, you don't want to die, I don't think you care about the position of the prince." ”

Xiao Junjue's footsteps paused slightly, Xiao Xuanqi raised his eyebrows, and sure enough, he still cared about that position.

Xiao Xuanqi knows that he has a few catties and a few taels, there is no mother concubine who has been missed by his father for many years, and he has no military merits, let alone any power schemes, and he is destined to have no chance with that position in this life. And he's so casual that he gets in the way of letting him wear that dress, how can he voluntarily be bound by those things.

However, he takes a fancy to Xiao Junjue, the prince is mediocre and incompetent, the king of Jin will only play some intrigues, neither of them has a good life in the world when they become emperors, only Xiao Junjue, he is upright, upright, will not abuse power to play yin, and knows the suffering of the people, such a person becomes the emperor, and the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty have a good life.

At this time, Nighthawk came in from outside, he glanced at the Eighth Prince, and then ran to Xiao Junjue's side, and whispered: "Lord, the King of Jin sent someone to say that the prince would come to Drunken Wind Zhai at the right time. ”

Xiao Junjue's eyes flashed, and she turned her head sideways and asked him, "Ask me out?"

Nighthawk knew that the princess was asking if the princess would go, and he shook his head, "This subordinate doesn't know. He asked, "Is the prince going?" Could it be some kind of deception by the king of Jin?"

"Go, of course. "Whether Rong Zhao will go or not, he will go, Xiao Junjue went out directly, or the night owl stopped him, saying that he would go out anyway, change his clothes and wash up, and then clean up before going out.

However, he was in a hurry, his clothes were changed, but the beard couldn't wait to be blown and went to the drunken wind fast, regardless of whether Xiao Xuanqi was still in his house.

Looking at Xiao Junjue, who treated him as air, Xiao Xuanqi shook his fan to dissipate his breath, is he so non-existent? Standing here, he is such a big living person, and the three masters and servants don't even look at him. In the end, everyone was gone, and he was left standing under the pomegranate tree and shaking his fan.

Xiao Junjue thought that something had happened to Rong Zhao, but she didn't want Xiao Jinyu to put forward such conditions with him.

He curled the corners of his mouth and chuckled, but remained silent and slowly sipped his tea.

Xiao Jinyu thought that he couldn't let go of his power, and he didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy, "I know, it's hard to accept letting you choose for a while, so let's do it, I'll give you three days to think about it, and I'll give me an answer after three days." ”

After Xiao Jinyu finished speaking, she stood up and wanted to leave, but at this time Xiao Junjue spoke, "It won't take three days, I promise you." ”

Xiao Jinyu stood, looked at him condescendingly, wrinkled her eyebrows, and hesitated: "You-don't have to think about it, don't go out of this door and regret it." ”

Xiao Junjue's well-defined fingers rubbed the edge of the tea cup thinly, paused, and poured a new cup of tea himself, he didn't squint, just looked at the tea leaves in the cup, and the leaves floating on the water swirled and immersed themselves in the water, and asked, "Isn't this the answer you want?"

Xiao Jinyu's heart was moved, she looked at Xiao Junjue in surprise, and prompted: "Are you really willing to give up? Once you give it up, everything you have built up in the past few years will no longer exist." Not even the status quo. ”

"I might have thought about it before, but now, I don't. Xiao Junjue raised her eyes and looked at Xiao Jinyu and said certainly.

If Xiao Jinyu had put forward such a condition before experiencing this time, he might still be in a dilemma and difficult to choose. But some things don't go through, some people don't lose, and you never know how important he is to you.

These days, from Rong Zhao's accident, lost and regained, gained and lost, this kind of torture broke his heart, he couldn't bear it anymore, and if he continued to bear it, he would almost be worse off than dead.

He doesn't ask for anything now, as long as Rong Zhao returns to him, even if she doesn't remember, even if she doesn't love him anymore, as long as he is by his side, everything can start again.

agreed so decisively, without even bargaining, which was really unexpected by Xiao Jinyu. He looked at Xiao Junjue for a moment, and nodded solemnly, "Okay, I didn't expect that King Chu is still an infatuated species, and he wants a beauty not a country, okay." ”

There was a slight choking in his throat, and such a happy answer did not leave him with any excuse for glory.

He said: "As long as you ask for the title to leave Beijing tomorrow in the court and hand over the power of the forbidden army, I will return Rong Zhao to you, and as long as my father and emperor allow it, I will hand it over to the people." His throat tightened a little when he said Jiaoren, "Don't worry, when the time comes, I will ask my father to give you a richer fief, so as to ensure that you will be prosperous and prosperous for a lifetime, and enjoy a lifetime of peace." ”

After Xiao Jinyu left, Xiao Junjue sat there and didn't leave, until the tea was cold, he didn't get up and leave.

When he went out to get drunk, he exhaled softly and smiled, and soon Rong Zhao would be able to return to him. Although the price is a bit large, it is worth it.

He looked around at the streets, the prosperity on the streets of Changge City had nothing to do with him after all.

Rong Zhao, who didn't know that she was exchanged for crop pieces, still looked at Xiao Jinyu who sold her with admiration, "Cousin, you came a little late today, it's this hour, you see, the sun is setting." ”

Xiao Jinyu smiled reluctantly in front of her, he didn't even want to come today, because he didn't know how to face her, how to say to her. But if tomorrow is decided, she will also leave.

He once said that he would not let Xiao Junjue snatch her away from him again, yes, Xiao Junjue didn't rob her, he sent it himself.

He had also promised her that he would cherish her, but now, he broke his promise.

He never wanted to return her to Xiao Junjue, how could he ever want to break his promise, all of this was forced by others. was forced by his father, by Liu Fuxin, by those ministers in the court, by his mother, by Xiao Junjue, they all forced him, he didn't want to.

He also wanted to be with Rong Zhao, and he also wanted to be inseparable from her, but he stood in this position today, and he couldn't help himself.

Suddenly, he suddenly remembered that on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month of that year, under the fireworks like a galaxy of stars, Rong Zhao smiled, and let him try for the first time what is called a heartbeat, the feeling that seems to be countless flowers blooming in the heart, and now I look back on it, only to know that that is the original heartbeat.
