Shen Qiyu was woken up by someone.

The man disturbed people's sleep, but he was embarrassed to smile. He held a small strand of hair in his hand and swept it across his face. "Before dawn, let's go. ”

Although people have just woken up, their eyes are very clear. Shen Zeyun was afraid that he would be angry, so he immediately defended himself: "If you don't wake up again, how to leave when it is dawn." So saying, he got up and got off the ground.

He didn't speak, he followed the ground, put on his shoes, tied his hair casually, and leisurely looked at Shen Zeyun who was dressed on the side and asked, "You look like this, are you going to send me?" He seemed to be in a good mood, and his tail tone was up, although it was a question, but he seemed to have an answer in his heart.

"Can't you give it away in a disheveled way? I have to be seen by others to know what happened between the two of us. He said it frivolously.

"I'm going to walk alone. ”

"Sneaky, follow me out of the barracks openly, General Shen's majesty can't be compromised a little. In the enemy barracks, General Shen is estimated to be the first. ”

"Let the enemy who sneaked into his military camp sleep in his bed, and General Shen is also the first. ”

Shen Zeyun shook his head solemnly: "I don't dare to be the first, I still have to come with you." Could it be that you forgot who showed love to me that night and offered to keep me in bed?"

Shen Qiyu was speechless, when he was shameless, he might be able to fight with him.

Shen Zeyun said that he wanted to take him out openly, but in fact, he was still extremely obscene and took him to avoid the bright post and secret sentry, and when he saw that he was about to go out, he pointed to the most critical place and said: "Later, I will step forward to distract their attention, and you will go out by yourself." ”

Shen Qiyu thanked him, and then heard an almost murmuring question: "When will we see you again?"

He didn't know. He asked, "Won't you disturb our army in the future?"

"No," he said, but he didn't think it was right, adding, "I won't go myself." Can I go back to you then? ”

"It's too dangerous. "I don't know if I'm really worried about him or my own army," I said. On the fifteenth day of the month, see you in the old place. ”

Seeing a team of patrolmen coming this way, Shen Zeyun didn't say anything more, and hurriedly took a seemingly leisurely step and walked out of the shadows. It was enough to get such a promise from him.

The flames of war never ignited.

In the autumn of the twenty-third year of Liping, Shen Qiyu made an exception and returned to the palace.

In the past three years, Shen Qiyu has already been a son of the border, and he is a brother who shares weal and woe with everyone. I only go back to Leto once a year during the Chinese New Year. I won't stay long, and I'll leave after the fifteenth day of the first month.

He is the age of growing up, and every year when he goes back, the emperor will sigh: "The years are unforgiving, the green silk turns gray, and the young man grows into an adult." This year, there are too many changes. ”

Shen Qiyu drove the horse at the moment, galloping on the official road, and he also thought about this sentence in his heart: "Year by year, the changes are too great." Obviously, when he left, everything was still business as usual, and King Nan chatted with his wife at home after the court and teased his son. Why is it that the news I received now is that I am critically ill?

He was in a hurry, but he had to spend time on the road. He was willing to say that it was a deception, for example, that the king of Nan missed him, so he told him to go back, even if it was said during the Chinese New Year to find him relatives.

Finally, little by little, the imperial city spread out in front of his eyes and became bigger. But the top was shrouded in black mist. He went straight to the Nanwang Mansion, but found that the emperor was also there.

The emperor has aged a lot, as if Shen Qiyu has not been away for more than half a year, but half a lifetime.

Shen Qiyu's voice was already low as that of an adult, with the fatigue of running around for days, and he forgot the etiquette, and asked anxiously: "How is Brother Nanwang?" ”

"He's in the house, go and see. The emperor was about to return to the palace after reading him, but he was infected by Shen Qiyu's anxiety, and turned around and went in again.

The man on the bed had his eyes closed, his lips were gray, and he was so thin that he was only a skeleton of bones. If it weren't for the slightly undulating chest, Shen Qiyu, who was too frightened, would have thought that this was a dead man.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Brother Nan......wang?

Obviously, he was still fine when he left, and he was still in the prime of life.

The emperor shook his head: "In the early spring, he was drenched in a cold rain and was sick himself, but he didn't take the medicine or rest, and he carried it alive." It's also half-good, he doesn't pay attention to it himself. Until the turn of spring and summer, it was blown by the wind and burned directly. This burn is burned to the heart. At this time, he had long lost the majesty of an emperor, his shoulders collapsed, and he was just a desperate father.

Shen Qiyu put his hand on his forehead, it was really hot. He was shocked, according to the emperor's words, this burn has been burning for more than two months, and people's lungs are about to be burned dry, how can there be any possibility of living?

It's just that Shen Qiyu still asked with a little hope: "What did the imperial doctor say?"

The emperor shook his head again.

Shen Qiyu didn't remember how he got back to the palace, and he didn't know what time it was now. He ran all the way, and one day the water and rice were not exhausted, and he was sad to the top, and it was better to pass out than to boil himself to death.

He held his aching head and walked over to the table.

A plate of delicate snacks was on the table, and the kettle was already filled with tea. He was in a trance, but he still remembered to test the temperature with his hand before pouring it up.

Perhaps the water needed by his body was satisfied, and two lines of tears crossed his face, smashed on the tablecloth, and soon disappeared. He had a fear in the darkness. Just like that year, when he was only nine years old, his father who had been dependent on him was killed in a riot. Ten years later, he was still afraid to leave.

It's just that misfortune doesn't go alone.

The news that Nanwang was critically ill was not only known to Shen Qiyu, but also to people from both countries. Also, as long as you have the heart, you can't hear anything.

In the second month after Shen Qiyu returned to Beijing, Jiang Guo actually sent an envoy to Li Guo to ask for the emperor of Jiang Guo.

The bloodlines of the royal family of the Li Kingdom are only Li Lin, the king of the south, and the sixteen-year-old Princess Yuyun, plus the three-and-a-half-year-old Yan Qingxiao'er.

Whose kiss is it begging, it can only be Princess Yuyun.

It is self-evident what the purpose is.

On the day when the envoy went to the temple, Shen Qiyu was standing in front of the couch of King Nan. He woke up for less and less time in the day, and he couldn't eat much. They all said that he couldn't last a few days.

Since Shen Qiyu came back, he has almost become the pillar of the emperor. Shen Qiyu was hit hard, but more often than not. But the emperor was hit to the point of collapse and depressed. So Shen Qiyu didn't have time to escape from reality anymore.

In the past, the heavy responsibility on the shoulders of the king of the south fell on his shoulders all at once, filial piety to his parents, worry about the king, he thought that this was done by the king of the south, and he should do it well, and slowly got used to it. It's just one thing missing, no brothers, friends and brothers.

He stood in front of his brother's couch, as if reliving the old scene. A young man and a teenager, not a teenager, grew up, but the young man lay in bed waiting for the day of death.

He wasn't worried about the situation in the court. The state of Li is not afraid of the state of Jiang, so the monarch of the state of Li will not be threatened by them and agree to them. Yuyun will always be the princess of Li and no one else.

So when he returned and heard that the emperor had rejected the courtship, he was not surprised at all. To his surprise, the reason for the emperor's refusal turned out to be that he had already promised the princess to Shen Qiyu.

"Your Majesty, you know that you have no jokes. You said this in front of hundreds of officials, but you really want me to marry Yuyun. Shen Qiyu was shocked.

"Yes. ”

"We are brother and sister. ”

"What kind of brother and sister are they? brothers and sisters who don't have different fathers and mothers. ”

Shen Qiyu knelt in front of the emperor: "We have grown up together since childhood, and our love is as deep as the sea, and our love is like the sea. ”

"Don't you have no affection with you? Don't you know, I'm old. Your brother Nanwang will ...... in a few days There is only a three-year-old child under his knees, do you want me to bear to hand over Li Guosheji to Yun'er? ”

yes, it's just him. It's just that he is not justified in staying in the palace, if he is not the husband of the princess, even if he understands that this responsibility is his own, what can he do.

He thought that the princess only regarded him as an elder brother, and whether his once cute and willful sister could accept it.

The emperor said: "You don't have to worry about this, compared to the harem of Emperor Jiangguo, this result is also good." ”

"It doesn't have to be just these two paths. On the one hand, he cares about the love of his brother and sister, and on the other hand, he really has a person in his heart. This person is the one who used his greatest courage to break all kinds of frameworks in order to embrace each other.

"If you are in such good health, your nephew will grow up slowly. Now the minister is your courtier, and in the future, he will be the courtier of the banquet. It will definitely protect the Haiyan River of Li Kingdom. ”

As if it was designed to hit him in the face, the emperor coughed heavily.

He returned to the harem and went to find the princess first. Concubine Yan doesn't have to look at it, she must be of the same mind as the emperor.
