"Do you still remember what that person looked like that day?" Shen Qianfan asked.
Li Que nodded.
Shen Qianfan summoned his subordinates and ordered him to use the fastest speed to find a painter in Dakun City to come to the mansion.
"Do you want to go out for a walk at night?" Duan Baiyue asked.
"The city is in depression now, I'm afraid I don't even have a lamp when I go out." Chu Yuan said, "What are you going to do?"
"Relax." Duan Baiyue said, "I don't care if there is a view outside, I'm afraid you will be bored in the house."
Chu Yuan sat on the stone bench and said, "I don't want to move, I'm tired."
"You are tired." Duan Baiyue stood behind him and gently rubbed his temples for him, "Leave Li Que to me, save your energy and handle military and political affairs with peace of mind."
Chu Yuan leaned back in his arms and basked in the sun with his eyes closed.
"When the war on Baiwu Island is over, when do you plan to deal with Chu Xiang?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan said: "After this battle, the Great Chu Navy will be redeployed, and it will take at most one year to recuperate, and then they will go south in one fell swoop and attack the Emerald Star Continent."
Duan Baiyue nodded: "Then I will go back to the southwest first and guard the Guanhai City area for you."
Chu Yuan held his hand: "Well."
"It's okay." Duan Baiyue bent over him and whispered in his ear, "If you miss me, write a letter, and I will come to Wangcheng to see you."
Chu Yuan pouted: "I want you to do something."
"Really don't want to go out for a walk?" Duan Baiyue said, "It's just taking a break. There are people coming and going in this palace, and it's noisy."
"Wen Aiqing will come later." Chu Yuan said.
Then more to go. Duan Baiyue pulled him up and forcibly took him out of the house.
Chu Yuan patted his head with a folding fan: "Bold."
Duan Baiyue asked: "What will be the penalty this time?"
"You will be fined three days not to eat meat." Chu Yuan bought a bamboo hat on the street and dangled it in his hand, "Since you're out, why not go to the beach?"
Duan Baiyue nodded, and the two walked out of the city together along the winding alley.
The wind is a bit strong by the sea, and there are no people. The twilight was dark, and a roar could be heard in the distance, the waves shattered on the black rocks, and even the ground trembled underfoot.
Duan Baiyue carefully wrapped him with a cloak.
Chu Yuan said: "Staying here for a while will definitely make my heart feel better."
"Do you like the seaside?" Duan Baiyue put her hand around his shoulder, "There is an island near Wangxi Jiao, I will buy it? We will live together in the future."
"Calculate carefully, you have already occupied more than a dozen houses." Chu Yuan looked at him amusingly, "From the desert to the South China Sea, it is really impossible for the local masters to be outside."
"There are still several decades." Duan Baiyue said, "Change every two or three years. If you get tired of living by the sea, go to the mountains, so that you don't always feel bored in one place."
"How can there be so many things? After staying in the palace for more than 20 years, I still haven't come here as usual." Chu Yuan wrapped his cloak tightly.
"That's not the same." Duan Baiyue said, "It's because you've been bored for too long, you'll have to make up for it in the future. Although this country is yours, you are burdened with too much now, and when the burdens on your shoulders are lifted in the future, I will take you from north to south again to see all the scenery again."
Chu Yuan pulled his hand back and asked, "I should be getting old by then, what should I do?"
"It's good to be old." Duan Baiyue touched his forehead, "I'll go behind your back."
Chu Yuan pouted: "Can you still carry it on your back?"
"If you eat less, I will be able to move my back." Duan Baiyue vowed.
Chu Yuan laughed, reached out and patted him away: "Poor."
"This is not called poverty, I want to make you happy." Duan Baiyue said, "Seeing that the sky is about to rain, go back?"
Chu Yuan shook his head: "Stay a while longer."
Duan Baiyue said: "Wait for a while, it will be raining."
Chu Yuan asked back, "What if it rains?"
"It won't work, but the wind and cold are not over yet. If you want to get wet, you have to wait until later." Duan Baiyue took him to jump off the reef, "If you think there is trouble in the prince's mansion, I will take you to another place to live."
"Where?" Chu Yuan asked.
"You'll know when you go." Duan Baiyue sold off.
Chu Yuan raised his eyebrows and followed him all the way into the city. The sky was getting darker and darker, and the dark clouds were rolling in the sky, and it was about to rain. The two stopped in front of an inn, and a string of red lanterns swayed in the wind.
"Where should I go?" Chu Yuan said, "It's just an inn."
"There is no other place to rest in this city." Duan Baiyue said, "Although it looks worn out on the outside, the inside is clean and tidy, and the food is cooked well, why not stay here tonight?"
"The opposite is the palace, why do you want to stay in an inn?" Chu Yuan asked.
"It's quiet here." Duan Baiyue said, "Just consider it to be sympathetic to the people."
"If you make trouble, what can you do with compassion?" Chu Yuan patted his chest and opened the door by himself.
Xiao Er was dozing behind the counter. He hurriedly stood up when he heard the sound, but he didn't expect the emperor to come in person. He immediately knelt on the ground in fright, and then reached out and rubbed his eyes, as if he was dreaming.
"Let's be flat." Chu Yuan asked, "Can you go to the room?"
"Go back, go back to the emperor." Little Er stammered, "There is no room here, it's all the same." After that, he quickly said, "The shopkeeper has gone home, the villain will call him here."
"Find a room with the best view." Chu Yuan said, "I just want to find a quiet place to listen to the wind and rain, and I don't want to disturb others. Your shopkeeper is sleeping well, so don't disturb him."
"Yes yes yes." Xiao Er nodded again and again, he only watched from a distance on the day the emperor entered the city, so he didn't recognize Duan Baiyue, thinking it was a guard or a high official. So he hurriedly packed out two adjoining rooms, then bent down and stepped back downstairs.
After entering the house, Chu Yuan looked around, it was indeed a bit old, but it was indeed clean.
Duan Baiyue took off his cloak and asked, "Is it still cold?"
"It's not cold." Chu Yuan pushed open the window, and a gust of wind came in immediately, mixed with a little rain. Looking down, it happened to be a small street. Three or two passersby in a hurry were rushing to the house. The sound of the frying pan came, and I followed the sound. Not far away, there was a candy shop still open, red The lantern shines a halo in the silent night, which is extraordinarily warm.
"Want to eat?" Duan Baiyue asked.
Chu Yuan nodded: "Yes."
"Wait for me." Duan Baiyue patted him, turned and went down the stairs.
Chu Yuan leaned against the window, watching him run out of the inn door, stepping on the small puddle on the ground to the eaves of the sugar cake shop, and talking to the boss. After a while, he ran back with a paper bag and put a hand in front of his forehead to cover the rain, slightly embarrassed.
So he laughed out loud.
"Come on, eat while it's hot." Duan Baiyue pushed the door and came in, put the paper bag on the table, and patted the rain on his body, "Just out of the pot, the boss said to eat it while it's hot, with red beans in it..."
Chu Yuan dropped a kiss on his lips, which was short, but soft and warm.
Duan Baiyue was a little surprised: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Chu Yuan wrapped his arms around his waist, "I just think it's good."
The surroundings are very quiet, no one is disturbing, and the person you love is by your side. When you are sleepy, you can close your eyes and sleep at any time, without thinking about anything. Such gentle years, as if in Yunde City before, when the two slept hugging each other, they also thought that the night would be extremely long, and it was best never to be dawn.
"Little fool." Duan Baiyue reacted and stretched out his arms to hug him tightly, even the top of his heart hurt. He just wanted to hold the person in the palm of his hand.
Chu Yuan wrapped his arms around his neck, closed his eyes and kissed him again.
Duan Baiyue waved and swept up the window, pressing the person against the wall, his lips seemed to stick together, and would not separate for a moment.
In the palace, Shen Qianfan held a portrait and frowned slightly.
Ye Jin knocked on the door: "Is it convenient to come in?"
"Naturally." Shen Qianfan hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, "It's still raining outside, why is my sister-in-law here?"
"Cough." Ye Jin coughed seriously.
Shen Qianfan corrected in time: "Brother Ye."
"I made soup for Qianfeng, and I'll bring you a bowl by the way." Ye Jin put the food box on the table, and when he saw the portrait, he asked, "Are you painting... the emperor?"
"Sister-in-law also thinks this looks like the emperor?" Shen Qianfan asked.
So Ye Guzhu coughed again, don't scream, who is the eldest sister, I don't know your eldest brother very well.
However, Shen Qianfan did not react in time this time, and continued: "This portrait was described by the painter in the city based on Li Que's oral description. According to her, at least it can have an eight-point likeness with the person of that day. "
"Li Que, so this is Duan Baiyue?" Ye Jin was suspicious and took a look at the portrait again. Although it is not 100% similar to Chu Yuan, it is insistent that this person is Duan Baiyue - unless it is a target.
"It is indeed like the emperor, but it can also be another person." Shen Qianfan said, "King Gao Chu Xiang."
"I haven't seen him." Ye Jin put down the portrait and frowned, "So according to what you mean, Chu Xiang once pretended to be Duan Baiyue in Dali City?"
Shen Qianfan nodded.
"The reason?" Ye Jin continued to ask. He had only heard Shen Qianfeng say a few things about Li Que, and he didn't know the whole story, so he was at a loss.
Shen Qianfan said, "I don't know either."
"Why is it related to Duan Baiyue again?" Ye Jin shook his head, turned and walked out, "I'm going to find the emperor."
Shen Qianfan reminded: "The emperor is not here."
"Not here?" Ye Jin turned his head, "Where did you go?"
Shen Qianfan said, "Listening to Sixi, he should have gone to the beach."
"What the hell are you doing at the beach?" Ye Jin's eyes widened. The wind chill was just right, so he didn't realize it. What if he got sick again. After thinking for a while, he continued to question: "Who did you go with?"
Shen Qianfan responded quickly this time: "With no one, alone, with a shadow guard."
A strange person. Ye Jin clenched his fists tight in his chest, why didn't he just stare at him for a moment, then sneaked away with the bald man again.
Can you be a good emperor
