The war came unexpectedly, and it caught everyone by surprise, but it was just a short night, and the forces of all parties that were ready to move went through a reshuffle. With the cold air from the night, he walked into the little emperor's bedroom.
Chi Zhao was thinking about something in his heart, and he slept unsteadily. When he heard the sound of slightly heavy footsteps, he opened his eyes almost immediately, his eyes rolled quickly, and fell directly on the person who came.
Shen Wumian's footsteps paused slightly, and immediately, he continued to walk over, still the same pace, the same expression.
Chi Zhao also sat up, he pursed the corners of his lips and looked at Shen Wumian silently.
Today, Shen Wumian was wearing a pure black robe with a bright saber hanging on his body. His aura was too serious, which made Chi Zhao feel heavy.
Shen Wumian didn't sit directly beside Chi Zhao as he did before, he just stood there, looking down at the young emperor who was still young.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and said, "The barbarians have invaded the border, and I'm going to repel them."
Instead of calling himself the humble and distant "weichen", he used the more common "I", Chi Zhao was silent for a while, his hands were under the quilt, and he nervously grabbed the bright yellow sheet, "Well. "
The sword has no eyes, and every time he goes to the battlefield, it is a gamble of his life. When Shen Wumian went to the battlefield for the first time, his father had already passed away, and his mother was a female general who refused to let her men down. She would not be like other people's mothers, crying and saying goodbye to her son. Before leaving, His mother just said to him, don't lose the face of the Shen family, and then turned and left without even a worried look.
Later, when his mother died, no one would send him off before he went to the battlefield. Shen Wumian always felt that it was nothing. The difference between crying and staring was not suitable for him. He was born as a soldier who killed the enemy with a knife. His life There are only calculations and killings, tenderness and sweetness, a strange thing that does not belong to his world.
But now, his heart is a little sour, because he hopes that the little emperor can say two more words to him. As long as the little emperor can show even one ten thousandth of his reluctance and worry, it is enough for him to give birth to a strong man who must come back alive. Faith too.
A non-existent "um" cut off all his hopes. Shen Wumian seemed to be used to being treated so indifferently. Whenever this time, he would always think to himself, if the person standing in front of him now was Shen Shiliu, would he still be so indifferent
I was angry the first time I thought about it, sad the second time, and numb the third time.
One to two to three to see, Shen Wumian felt that he was really about to grow a heart of iron.
Pulling the corners of his mouth indifferently, Shen Wumian continued: "Before I come back..."
There are a lot of things he wants to tell. He wants to say, let the little emperor take care of himself, and he also wants to say, let the little emperor not run around, just stay in the palace and wait for him to come back. Many words of exhortation circled around his mouth several times. His words paused for too long, so that Chen Yi raised his head suspiciously. Shen Wumian looked at his eyes and slowly lowered his eyelids.
This action was obviously silent, but Chi Zhao seemed to hear a very faint sigh like admitting defeat.
"Before I come back, don't be willful and remember to drink medicine."
Chi Zhao was slightly startled.
Naturally, this medicine does not mean drinking poison, but a medicine to detoxify and nourish the body. The old imperial doctor had been carefully conditioning Chi Zhao's body for a year before, and the prescription would change from time to time. In the past, Chi Zhao felt that this imperial doctor had a super personality. , he was the person who disrespected Shen Wumian the most in the whole country. Later, Chi Zhao discovered that he not only disrespected Shen Wumian, but also didn't respect himself.
…
Every bowl of the old imperial doctor’s medicine did not contain any herbs that neutralize the bitter taste, so every bowl was unpleasant to drink. It was difficult for Chi Zhao to get used to the current prescription, and it was no longer difficult to accept, and new prescriptions would appear. , and a bowl is more bitter than a bowl.
Chi Zhao secretly went to the old imperial doctor and begged him to add some herbs to neutralize the bitterness in the prescription. The old imperial doctor, who was writing the prescription, paused, raised his eyes without waves, and sent Chi Zhao Two words, "No."
Chi Zhao: "… "
Shen Wumian calmly took a sip of tea on the side, and couldn't help feeling that the imperial doctor didn't look down on him, but did this to everyone, and he really had a personality.
…
He couldn't figure out the imperial doctor, and Chi Zhao didn't want to drink that bitter medicine. In his eyes, he would ascend to heaven sooner or later, and he didn't need to take care of his body to be so healthy, so he always used various reasons and excuses to avoid taking medicine, but the devil One foot tall and one zhang tall, Shen Wumian saw the tricks and tricks. For a year, Chi Zhao didn't even hide a bowl of medicine.
Chi Zhao waited for a long time, just to know what the half sentence behind Shen Wumian was, was it "Don't think about things you shouldn't think about", or "Just be obedient and don't make trouble for him"
I thought of all kinds of guesses in my heart, but there is no such thing in front of me.
It was only now that Chi Zhao suddenly realized the fact that this Prince Regent seemed to really like him.
Shen Wumian originally planned to leave after saying this. The war was really urgent, and he could not delay for a second. He wanted to go to the border immediately. Even saying goodbye to the little emperor at this time was a waste of time.
But Chen Yi's gaze fixed on him so tightly that he couldn't move his legs. After a moment of silence, Shen Wumian took a step forward and sat beside Chen Yi's bed again.
This position is almost his exclusive seat.
He sat down, and Chen Yi's eyes followed him down.
"Are you obedient?"
Hearing this question, Chi Zhao withdrew his gaze from following Shen Wumian. He lowered his eyes and looked at the brocade quilt covering him.
His voice was soft, but never humble: "If you want me to be obedient, you shouldn't let me know too much."
What Chi Zhao said was that Shen Wumian taught him to govern the country and let him be in charge of the government. This is the practice of raising tigers. He was an emperor. Now that he has learned how to be an emperor, he naturally cannot listen to Shen Wumian anymore. words.
But these few sentences were heard in Shen Wumian's ears, and the translation had another meaning.
—If I didn’t know about Shen Shiliu’s existence, maybe, I would continue to listen to you.
Shen Wumian felt that he should get used to it, but at this time, a heart that was riddled with holes was still bleeding by Chen Yi.
All the internal organs are in pain. If it is according to the past, now should be the time when Shen Wumian rages and hurts people, but Shen Wumian just blinked his eyes slightly, and even the expression on his face did not change much.
As if he hadn't heard this sentence, he looked at the drooping head of the little emperor. He stretched out a hand and pulled Chi Zhao closer to him forcibly. Chi Zhao raised his head in shock, Shen Wumian held a hand Holding his arm, the other hand was heavily ground on Chi Zhao's lips.
The rough thumb crushed Chi Zhao's lips into blood and red, and the bright color seemed to drip blood. Chi Zhao was in pain and wanted to push back, but Shen Wumian's strength was too great, and he couldn't break free at all.
Seeing the little emperor's lips turn red, Shen Wumian lowered his eyes and closed his eyes, leaned in, and touched him restrainedly and forcefully.
He didn't go deep, and he didn't grind. It might not be considered a kiss, it was just an ordinary contact. Chi Zhao widened his eyes and looked at Shen Wumian's handsome face so close to him. His body was a little stiff, and Shen Wumian He stepped back slightly, the finger that was grinding his lips moved down, pinching the tip of his chin, and the other hand that was holding Chi Zhao's arm slowly moved up, pressing neither light nor heavy on his neck bone. .
This is the key point of people. If he wants to twist his wrist slightly, the little emperor will die immediately.
This is a very threatening action, especially a gentle pressing like his, it has the same effect as saying "I'm trying to kill your dog" directly, Shen Wumian is indifferent. Looking into Chi Zhao's eyes, he thought he would see panic and alertness, and was prepared to be violently struggled, but he didn't see anything.
The little emperor just stared at him blankly, a slightly complicated look flashed across his face, his fingers trembled stiffly, as if he wanted to lift it up, but he didn't know why, but hung down beside him.
Shen Wumian suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and he said quietly: "Your Majesty should be more obedient, otherwise, I don't know what I will do."
His tone was light and airy, as if he didn't say a big deal at all. If it was someone else who received such a straightforward threat from the Regent, even if he didn't faint immediately, he would at least jerk his back. are life-threatening words.
But the little emperor in front of him is still the same as before. If we want to talk about changes, he is not as stupid as before.
His eyes are inclined to the left, and the left brain is the place where memories are stored, which means he is recalling something, but Shen Wumian, an ancient person, does not know the distinction between left and right brains, and he thought that Chen Yi was still escaping him with silence.
If he doesn't leave, it will be too late. He never got a promise from Chen Yi. I'm afraid it will be futile to wait. Shen Wumian closed his eyes and swallowed the bitterness and cold in his heart. He retracted his hand, stood up, and turned to leave.
Just when he was about to take a step, suddenly, a tiny force behind him grabbed the corner of his clothes. Compared with Shen Wumian's own strength, this force could only be regarded as unsightly, but it was just a little bit. The strength that was almost inexhaustible actually blocked the steps of the Regent.
Shen Wumian stood stiffly on the spot, he didn't look back, and he didn't dare to look back.
As for why he didn't dare, it might be because he was more timid in the nostalgia, and something that he could never get. Once he got it, everyone's first reaction was doubt. After all, the most unacceptable thing in the world is to have fun. .
Chi Zhao held the corner of Shen Wumian's clothes, opened his mouth, and then opened his mouth again.
In the end, thousands of words can only be gathered into four simple words. This is not what he wants to say the most, but it is what Shen Wumian needs most at this moment.
"… come back earlier."
Shen Wumian's heart was shocked, and the hands hanging by his side were clenched tightly. He took a step forward, and Chi Zhao's hand was broken away by him. Shen Wumian left quickly, as if he was running away in a hurry, but , Chi Zhao still heard the reply that almost melted into the wind.
Leaning against the head of the bed, Chi Zhao suddenly laughed.
It's really awkward.
