Ye Heng seemed to see through the thoughts in his heart, and still stood in place, his silent eyes mixed with a trace of helplessness: "I came to ask Your Majesty for a holy decree to go to the battlefield in the west of the country, recover the lost territory, and save Ye Zhen." ”

Xiqi Guojun sneered and said, "Do you think I will believe that you will bring Ye Zhen back?" Once you've got the Tiger Talisman, you'll unite with the rebels and attack Kyoto......"

Ye Heng's eyes were heavy, like a sharp knife, slowly cutting off his words, and the room fell silent again, leaving only each other's breath floating in the air.

"Are you tired?" Ye Heng slowly took two steps forward, and his voice was not as indifferent as before, "Over the years, you have tried your best to get rid of me, and even married me eight times in a row, just to arrange the killer by my side, not only that, but you also set all kinds of traps in the four departments, intending to insult my reputation with various crimes." Brother Huang, you are very protective of me, I know all this. ”

Xiqi Guojun's face was shocked, and then, he slowly fell silent, and laughed at himself: "With your wisdom, how can you not see through this, but you have always remained silent, and the depth of the city is beyond my reach." ”

Ye Heng was not angered by these words, and his expression was still peaceful: "As you can see now, I want to kill you, and the palace guards can't stop you!" I want to capture Xiqi, even if I don't have a tiger talisman in my hand, I can still mobilize a million troops! Over the years, I have relieved all my power, been willing to be an idle king, and have done chores in the four departments, just to let you understand that I can do anything for Xiqi, but I have no interest in your position. ”

Xiqi Guojun's expression moved slightly, and there was still doubt in his eyes: "I have tasted the taste of power, and I am willing to forget it?" Yeheng, I never thought that you were a saint and would treat glory and wealth as dung. ”

"I'm just an ordinary person, and I have desires and can't ask for them." Ye Heng met his gaze and said calmly, "However, what I ask for is not the same as Your Majesty. For me, fame and fortune are like quicksand, scattered and returned, if I lose my family and cold my heart, I am afraid that I will be poor all my life, and I will not be able to find it. ”

Xiqi Guojun sneered and said, "Really? There is only conspiracy and calculation between you and me, how can we be sincere? ”

Ye Heng seemed to have expected that Xiqi Guojun would not believe it, sighed lightly, took out two small stones from his arms, and put them on the table: "Brother Huang, do you remember this thing?" ”

Xiqi Guojun said without hesitation: "It's just two ordinary stones." ”

"When he was four years old, his mother died, and his father was sad and had no time to take care of him. At that time, although I was a prince, I was bullied because I had no power and power, and it was the royal brother who rescued me from the abyss. ”

Ye Heng still remembers that in the month after the death of his mother, he fell from heaven to hell in an instant, and the palace eunuchs and maids raised and stepped on low, and they would not do their best to a prince who had lost the protection of his mother.

That night, he woke up from a nightmare, there was no one around him, he was scared, and he looked around barefoot, but he met Ye Ao, who was still the prince back then. Ye Ao led him to the queen's bedroom, gave him warmth, and protected him in his wings from being bullied.

In order to appease him who had been crying for his mother, Yeao sent two stones, falsely claiming that if he planted it, he would grow a mother, and then accompanied him to water and fertilize every day, waiting for his mother to appear.

Later, he gradually became sensible, he already knew that the stone would not grow a concubine, but he always stayed by his side, and at the same time secretly made a vow in his heart that he would do his best to repay Ye Ao for the rest of his life.

In Yeheng's words, the monarch of Xiqi returned to the old days, and when he was young, he always remembered his duties as an elder brother, and took good care of the brothers below, even if the battle in the palace was fierce, their brotherhood never cracked.

When did that change?

It seems that after he grasped the power, he tasted the power and began to fear its disappearance, and all his feelings were swallowed up by it. In the end, only intrigue remains.

At this moment, he seemed to think of his young self again, his eyes were clear and sincere.

"The eldest brother is like a father, and I have never forgotten this kindness." Ye Heng's voice seemed to be able to penetrate all the hard power and go straight to the softest corner of the human heart, "You and I are not only monarchs and ministers, but also brothers, blood is thicker than water, even if the world changes, it cannot be erased." Now that the national crisis is at hand, I can't trap you in fire and water, let alone let you put on armor and go into battle, and suffer even the slightest possible danger! ”

Xiqi Guojun slowly raised his head, his eyes were already full of tears, he stretched out his arm, and held Ye Heng's hand for the first time in so many years, just like when he was young, he led Ye Heng, crossed the heavy palace, and stopped in the warm dormitory.

The light of the morning sun tore through the curtain of darkness, and everything in the world reappeared in the warm sun.

At that time, the sharp voice of the inner supervisor broke the peace in the dormitory: "Your Majesty, Princess Heng asks to see." ”

Hearing this, Ye Heng's eyes darkened, his thick black sword eyebrows were already frowning, and he raised his eyes to look at Xiqi Guojun, but saw that he had already wiped the corners of his eyes, and raised his voice and said, "Let her in." ”

The inner eunuch left in response, and the monarch of Xiqi looked at Ye Heng again: "I don't know why you, the princess, came to me early in the morning?" ”

Ye Heng shook his head slowly: "The princess is not like an ordinary woman, she has always acted according to the rules. ”

"I'll help you ask." Xiqi Guojun smiled freely, and after a long conversation, his mood seemed to relax a lot, "You hide first, in case she sees you, she doesn't dare to speak, this will become a headless unsolved case." ”

Ye Heng did not refuse, and flashed into the curtain on one side, and heard Su Qianqian's footsteps.

"Princess Heng, why do you want to see you early in the morning?" The voice of the monarch of Xiqi came.

Ye Heng turned sideways slightly, looking through the gap in the curtain, today's Su Qianqian's ink hair was pulled into a high bun, a white jade hairpin was inserted, and a small face was wrapped in a pink dress, like a peach blossom, delicate and moving, her eyes were as clear as clear water, but the dark green under her eyes revealed the situation of sleepless all night. At this moment, hearing Xiqi Guojun's question, she raised her slender and white neck and said loudly: "Back to Your Majesty, Qianqian heard that Concubine Yu was sick, so she wanted to enter the palace to serve, but she entered the palace without permission, and she was afraid that others would chew her tongue, so she wanted to come and ask Your Majesty for a will." ”

Xiqi Guojun glanced at the small burden on her side, and said with a smile: "Your bags are ready, this is to be cut first and then played?" ”

Su Qianqian hurriedly hugged the burden and said seriously: "Your Majesty, don't misunderstand, Qianqian just wants to take it first, and then run again, if Your Majesty doesn't agree, then Qianqian will go back with the burden and won't delay anything." ”

Xiqi Guojun looked at her and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the service is fake, and it is true that I want to see King Heng." ”

Su Qianqian seemed to have been seen through, and blushed slightly: "Your Majesty, Qianqian just wants to enter the palace to live with Concubine Yu." ”

Xiqi Guojun pretended to look solemn: "Since this is the case, then stay in the palace, but ......"

The joy on Su Qianqian's face flashed, and she asked nervously again, "But what?" ”

"You can't stay in the palace until you stay overnight." Xiqi Guojun pointed to the back of the curtain, "I want to send him to Xixi, your little plan is about to fail." ”

Su Qianqian looked in the direction he pointed, and saw a long figure standing between light and shadow, the wisps of gold thread of the morning light wrapped around his eyebrows and eyes, in a trance, not like a real person, seeing his indifferent gaze cast over, Su Qianqian immediately made a statement of remorse: "Ah, Your Majesty...... That ......"

"You have no jokes, my will cannot be disobeyed." Xiqi Guojun smiled peacefully, waved his hand at Ye Heng, and said, "Go, before you leave, accompany her more, and save me ...... when the time comes."

The two received the decree and left the king's chamber in a dumbfounded state.

As soon as she returned to Luoyan Courtyard, Su Qianqian was wrapped around her waist by a pair of powerful arms, a familiar breath rolled in, Ye Heng's handsome eyebrows and eyes approached, and the next moment, the lips of the two were close together.

Her little hand hooked around his neck, trying to respond to the pain of lovesickness in recent days, and it took a long time to let go.

Ye Heng looked at her shining eyes, and his heart softened a little, and he couldn't help but hug her in his arms and said, "I promised to give you a stable life, but I didn't expect it to put you in danger." ”

Su Qianqian leaned on his strong chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, the panic and anxiety of the days disappeared, and said with a smile: "I thought you would blame me for making my own decisions." ”

"I always knew you had an idea, but I didn't expect you to be so bold."

She looked up at him, smiled lightly, and the pear vortex on her lips was sweet and lovely: "The rebels are rampant, I know that you will not be able to sit still, and you will find a way to go to Your Majesty to ask for help, but Your Majesty will not agree easily, because he doesn't have your handle in his hands, so I will take it upon myself and give him this reassuring pill." ”

Ye Heng unconsciously tightened his long arms: "Your Majesty is still suspicious of me after all, and I know that you are my weakness, in fact, the moment before you came in, he didn't open his mouth to answer." ”

"So I got my bet right." Su Qianqian couldn't help but show a smug look, raised her eyes to look at him, suppressed the worries in her heart, and pretended to be relaxed and said, "This time, I bet that you will return safely, bet, it's me, do you say okay?" ”

"The princess is so interested, how can this king be unreasonable?" Ye Heng's deep and sharp eyes were covered with a smile, and then he hugged her tightly into his arms, "When you are alone in the palace, you must be careful and don't be careless." ”

"Don't worry, I'll wait for you to come back." Su Qianqian buried her face in his chest, trying to remember his heartbeat at this moment, so that she could miss it carefully in the days of separation.
