Xiao Yan stared at Xie He intently, Cui Shao is innocent, and the person he loves has suffered because of him, when he brings down the prince, he must return Cui Shao's innocence, then his lover will no longer be like this Low status.
Sorry... I have to keep you waiting for a while.
Xiao Yan talked with Xie He again, until it was getting late, and he had to pretend to say goodbye and leave.
Seeing that Xiao Yan was gone, Xie He came out from behind the rockery carefully.
[Xie He: Hey, there are too many flaws...]
[444: (⊙v⊙) Huh?]
[Xie He: We chatted all afternoon behind the rockery, and no one found out in the heavily guarded palace, and only the stupid Cui Ning didn't feel that something was wrong. Smile JPG]
[444:...]He didn't realize this problem at all... _(:зゝ∠)_
[Xie He: But having said that, it's exciting to fall in love secretly, Xiao Xiao is obviously addicted to it, hehe.]
[444: O(∩_∩)O~]
[Xie He: It's time to brush up Xiaoqing's favorability, remember to remind me when he comes:)]
[444: Hmm!]
Xiao Yan and the prince are fighting like a raging fire, not every day has time to play role-playing games with Xie He, when he is not at home, Xie He eats, drinks, sleeps, and watches 444 movies for him happily.
Qi Qing is also very busy. Although he didn't go to see Xie He, he also knows how much the prince loves Xie He now. With the prince's character, even if he doesn't like Xie He in the future, he will never treat him badly in this life.
The prince can bestow favor on Xie He, and that Song Heng... can also get Xie He's love. It is said that Xie He had already fallen in love with Song Heng when he was still in Xunhuanlou. After all, I am just a superfluous person, and the only thing I can do is to guard silently.
Qi Qing deliberately didn't go to see Xie He, fearing that he would have thoughts that he shouldn't have moved, but even if he didn't see him, he couldn't help thinking about it.
After a period of time like this, he finally couldn't help it anymore, although he couldn't be with Xie He, but just to see if he is doing well now... can it be
When Qi Qing went, Xie He was sitting in the courtyard in a daze. His long ink-like hair was scattered behind him, he was wearing a light blue brocade dress, and his face was clean and beautiful... He looked like an ordinary young man from a wealthy family, only his face There is no smile on the face, and the eyes are sad.
Qi Qing thought, if nothing happened to Cui Shao, Xie He's life would have been well-clothed and carefree, not as it is now, even if he has a glamorous appearance, he can't hide the mess inside.
Xie He sat there for a while, seemed a little bored, grabbed the crutches leaning on the side, and slowly stood up, the maid next to him immediately came to help him, but he refused.
Xie He walked a few steps slowly, turned his head, accidentally saw Qi Qing in the distance, and stopped suddenly.
Originally, Qi Qing was just going to take a look and leave, but he didn't expect to be discovered by Xie He, he was a little nervous, he didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a while, turned around and left, but before he walked a few steps, he heard Xie He shout He said: "Master Qi."
Xie He's soft voice fell into Qi Qing's ears far away, and he couldn't move anymore. After a long time, Qi Qing finally turned around and walked back slowly. He came to Xie He, with deep affection hidden in his eyes, and said, "Long time no see."
Xie He smiled lightly, in fact it didn't take long, he said: "Master Qi came to look for the prince?"
Of course Qi Qing knew that the prince was not there, but he couldn't say that he came to see him specially, so he nodded: "Yes."
Xie He said: "The prince hasn't come back yet."
Qi Qing was silent for a moment when he heard the words, a look of sadness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Then I'm leaving."
Xie He looked at him, his eyes were touched, he has never forgotten Qi Qing's help to him, but unfortunately he can't repay him, the only thing he can do is to thank him palely, "Thank you."
Xie He seemed to want to say something, but there was still a maidservant beside him, worried that causing a misunderstanding would cause trouble to Qi Qing, so he didn't say anything, just watched him leave.
Qi Qing left the courtyard, thinking of Xie He's hesitant eyes, tossing and turning all night, always thinking, what exactly did Xie He want to tell him? Looking at his appearance, it seems that he is not happy. The prince is very kind to him, why is he still unhappy? Did the prince bully him again
Qi Qing had something on his mind, so he quietly came to see Xie He the next day when no one was around.
Xie He didn't expect Qi Qing to come again, very surprised, lowered his eyes and whispered: "Master Qi, the prince is not here now..."
Qi Qing was a little nervous, her tone was stiff: "I, I'm here to see you."
Xie He looked at Qi Qing's affectionate eyes, remembering his repeated protection for him, his eyes couldn't help getting wet, and his voice choked up: "My lord shouldn't come." He couldn't accept Qi Qing's intentions, and he couldn't get rid of Xiao Yan's. Control, why delay others.
Seeing that Xie He was crying again, Qi Qing felt sorry for her, and said in a low voice, "You are unhappy."
Xie He gently wiped the corner of his eyes and said: "I am not unhappy."
But Qi Qing didn't believe it, and asked: "But the lord treats you badly?" He was very angry when he thought of this, and felt dissatisfied with the lord again in his heart. The lord knew that Xie He was his benefactor, but he still refused to let him go free. He is sad.
Xie He's eyes were sad, the prince didn't treat him badly, but he would rather the prince not treat him like this, let him die happily, than be so worried.
Although Xie He didn't say a word, Qi Qing could imagine his pain and helplessness, his involuntary sadness just by looking at his melancholy eyes... I don't know how the prince usually treats him!
Qi Qing felt a rush of blood on his forehead, and suddenly said: "I'll go and beg the prince to let you go!"
Xie He didn't expect Qi Qing to say such a thing, he quickly got up and grabbed his sleeve, and said nervously: "No, no, I'm really fine, don't go."
Qi Qing was furious, it didn't seem like anything was wrong!
Xie He must not let Qi Qing go to beg the lord, that would only cause trouble for him, holding him tightly and not letting go, his voice was mournful, his eyes were flushed, "My lord, I understand what you mean, but you really don't care about it anymore." slave..."
Just as the two were tugging, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Qi Qing didn't notice the movement outside because of impulsive anger just now, but when she turned her head to look, she realized that Xiao Yan had come back early!
Xie He also saw Xiao Yan, he was stunned, then suddenly let go of Qi Qing's hand, staggered back a step, his face was pale, and his voice trembled: "My lord, my lord..."
Xiao Yan's face was ashen, his eyes were cold, he came back early with full of anticipation, but what he saw was Xie He and Qi Qing pulling, Xie He grabbed Qi Qing's sleeve, with tears in his eyes, his expression was sad, seeing When he appeared, he suddenly let go, as if the scene of an affair had been smashed!
He has always known that Qi Qing has thoughts about Xie He, but Qi Qing has always done his duty, and there has been no change during this period, and he never thought that he would secretly come to see Xie He.
Xiao Yan was angry in his heart, one Song Heng was not enough, even his subordinates came to rob him, how could he bear it! With eyebrows raised and eyes raised, he said in a cold voice, "Get out of here yet!"
If it was in the past, Qi Qing would have obeyed the order and left, and it is true that he overstepped today, but... He had made up his mind that even if he disobeyed Xiao Yan's order in the future, he would never let Xie He get hurt again. Give him happiness, why don't you let him go!
Qi Qing didn't move, he stood there fixedly, looked up at Xiao Yan, "My lord, please let Yuan Jin out of the house."
Xiao Yan was furious, Qi Qing dared to disobey his order, he couldn't move Song Heng, could it be that he couldn't even deal with his subordinates? He said coldly, "Are you questioning my king's decision?"
Qi Qing knew how scary Xiao Yan was when he was angry, but since he opened his mouth today, he would not back down. He looked into Xiao Yan's eyes without avoiding it, and gritted his teeth, "Yuan Jin is not happy staying in the palace. , please let him out of the house."
Xie Hekan's tears were shining, Qi Qing actually resisted Xiao Yan for him, but he really couldn't let him go on talking, choked up and said: "My lord, don't talk about it, I am not unhappy, I am fine..."
Qi Qing's words just hit the soft spot in Xiao Yan's heart, why didn't he understand that Xie He was not happy staying in the palace, why didn't he understand that Xie He had someone else in his heart, but if he could, why wouldn't he let go... He looked at Xie He's face full of tears, and looked at Qi Qing worriedly, the blood all over his body was icy, chilling to the bone.
Heh... In his eyes, he is just a bad guy who tramples on his will, threatens, persecutes and plunders, and is cruel and ruthless...
If so, just be a bad guy.
Xiao Yan moved his eyes to look at Qi Qing. He had tolerated Qi Qing a lot because of his love for many years. As long as he stopped trying to covet Xie He, he could let go of the past, but if he didn't know what to do, don't worry about his cruelty.
Xiao Yan said coldly: "Dare to offend this king, come here, drag Qi Qing down, and beat him fifty times!"
Qi Qing's face didn't change, and he didn't resist. He was dragged into the yard and pressed to the ground. Those guards who held him down knew that Qi Qing was Xiao Yan's most important confidant, and they didn't know why Xiao Yan was so angry. , looked at Xiao Yan hesitantly, and didn't act immediately.
Xiao Yan's face was livid, "Call me."
Those guards were shocked immediately, they didn't dare to keep their hands, and beat them hard!
Qi Qing's painful forehead was dripping with cold sweat, but he still had no intention of admitting his mistake, and said, "Yuan Jin doesn't want to stay in the palace at all."
Xie He covered his mouth with tears streaming down his face. Even Qi Qing was afraid that he would either die or be injured. It was all his fault. he.
Xie He suddenly turned around and rushed over, lying on Qi Qing's body, blocking him with his body, tightly closing his eyes and preparing for the board to fall on him.
But those guards had sharp eyesight and quick hands, they didn't dare to say Xie He, they stopped their hands immediately, their eyes were embarrassed... What's going on today, did they accidentally witness the scene of the prince's green hat? Will he be murdered... It's scary...
Xie He saw that those people stopped moving, struggling to kneel down to Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan has been paying attention to Xie He, how could he let him kneel, stretched out his hand to hug him, he was really angry, and couldn't bear to hurt Xie He, just said with a straight face: "I said, you are not allowed to kneel again."
Xie He failed to kneel down, and raised his head to look at Xiao Yan with tears in his eyes: "My lord, please let Lord Qi go, the sin of slavery deserves death, and you shouldn't seduce Lord Qi."
Xiao Yan was extremely depressed, "I know it's his fault that you didn't seduce him, so he will be punished."
Xie He couldn't help shaking his head, his voice choked up, "It's not the fault of the lord, it's the fault of the slave, the prince killed the slave, it's all the fault of the slave!" He couldn't maintain his calm expression anymore, he was fed up with this hypocritical peace , I don't want people who care about him to be troubled by him anymore, it's better to die, why bother to torture him like this.
Xiao Yan looked at Xie He begging to die again for Qi Qing's sake regardless of danger. Those sad words were like a knife piercing his heart. Still being suppressed... Qi Qing has repeatedly protected Xie He, and when she indifferently ignored Xie He's life and death, it was Qi Qing who risked danger to save him again and again... With Xie He's kindness and gentleness, of course he will never forget this kindness, it is impossible Watching Qi Qing suffer.
He doesn't understand this truth, but understanding... and understanding are two different things.
Xiao Yan only felt jealous and painful to the point of going crazy.
Qi Qing didn't expect that Xie He would pounce on him, begging the prince to die for him, his eyes were red, although Xie He didn't love him in his heart, but he could do this for him, he just died No regrets.
[Ding, Qi Qing's favorability is +5, and the current favorability is 95]
Xie He was held in Xiao Yan's arms, but that warm and wide embrace could not bring him any warmth, only the fear of walking on thin ice, he tremblingly said: "My lord, kill this slave."
Xiao Yan looked into Xie He's eyes, seeing him wanting to die, heartbroken to the point where he couldn't breathe, and she would only scare him... and never gave him a sense of security. This long time of companionship and gentle love can't change the slightest.
Xie He can smile gently at everyone, but he is only afraid of him.
Xiao Yan closed his eyes, and his voice finally calmed down: "Take Qi Qing down and lock her up."
Xie He had tears in his eyes, "My lord..."
Xiao Yan carried him back to the room, and after a long time, said slowly: "Don't tell me to kill you again in the future, I won't kill you."
Xie He's body trembled, and he whispered: "I know."
Xiao Yan laughed at himself, now he can only rely on intimidation to make Xie He obedient, Xie He obviously doesn't believe it at all, so he has to force his face to smile and agree... Qi Qing probably didn't see that he was unhappy, so he would take the risk to ask Let him go.
But it can't be... Xiao Yan lifted Xie He's chin, stroked the soft lips with his thumb, and kissed them heavily, the depths of his eyes were dark.
You are the only person I want, and I want you to accompany me for the rest of my life, how can I let you leave...
No one can take you away from me.
Xie He trembled, his eyes widened, he didn't understand Xiao Yan's meaning, just now the prince was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, but now he is kissing him so tenderly, really moody...
Xiao Yan has always had amazing concentration, even though the jealousy and anger in his heart almost overwhelmed him, he still had a gentle expression in front of Xie He.
After such a long time, he finally controlled his expression and returned to normal. He was impulsive just now, and he might have scared Xie He. Xiao Yan pondered for a moment, and gently held Xie He in his arms, "I'm sorry, I I just scared you."
Hearing Xiao Yan's gentle voice, Xie He trembled, how could he continue with these words? Seeing Qi Qing privately was his fault, not only did the lord not blame him, he even apologized to him
Xiao Yan stroked his hair, "I know you don't like him, you just pleaded for him because he helped you before... I won't touch him, just let him have a longer memory, don't touch those who shouldn't Don't worry, I'll release him in a few days, don't worry."
Xie He: "..."
Xiao Yan said again: "If you feel bored, I will take you out for a while when you have time to wait, even if you want to see Qi Qing, it is not impossible, but you must remember that you are my man and his master, don't mess up identity."
Xie He said in a weak voice: "How can a slave be Master Qi's master..."
Xiao Yan smiled faintly: "Everyone in this palace is your slave, just get used to it."
Xie He didn't say a word, I'm afraid it's hard to get used to.
Seeing that Xie He finally calmed down, Xiao Yan didn't know how effective his consolation was. He didn't want any face. It was clear that Qi Qing had done something that did not keep his duty. Not only could he not punish him, but he had to coax Xie He He, I'm afraid he's worried... If his concubine Ji dared to act like this, he would throw it out and soak it in the pig cage without even looking at it. How could he swallow his anger like he is now.
Xiao Yan felt extremely bitter in his heart, but if it wasn't for his indifference and ruthlessness at the beginning, how could it be Qi Qing's turn to save people...
In the final analysis, it was the bitter fruit that he personally caused.
… … … … … … …
[Xie He: Look, I said that Xiao Xiao is still a child who can be taught. Smile JPG]
[444:...]
[Xie He: This comprehension is not bad, but someone has to wake him up, but it’s not good if he hasn’t made any progress, so he needs to wake him up a little bit.]
[444: (⊙o⊙) Oh]
[Xie He: This kind of big man is just a little blunt:)]
[444:...]
Xiao Yan got Gong Min's surrender some time ago, and took advantage of the crown prince's move to search for the batch of corrupted silver that he hadn't found back then, and got a lot of evidence, and directly reported it to the emperor. The emperor was furious, directly grounded the prince, and personally Send people to investigate the crimes committed by the prince, and the prince's position is in jeopardy.
Xiao Yan was exhausted mentally and mentally, but he didn't show it when he returned home, bearing all the pressure alone. He couldn't lose before, it was just for himself, now he can't lose, it's for the one he loves...
If he loses, Xie He must die, and all those who follow him will end badly. This battle will never end.
As long as he has free time, Xiao Yan will disguise himself and see Xie He secretly.
Xie He didn't feel so scared after more times, and slowly relaxed, but began to look forward to his arrival. The relationship between the two was much closer, like a friend who could confide in his heart. Xie He's trust and smile from concealing his identity is Xiao Yan's only comfort.
This day Xiao Yan secretly came to see Xie He again, and brought him famous snacks outside.
Xie He was very happy to see him. Since Qi Qing had an accident last time, he has been more cautious. The only time he was relaxed was when he met Brother Yan. He was eating happily, smiling with his eyebrows curved: " Brother Yan, I really trouble you."
Xiao Yan showed a gentle smile: "Don't bother, you have saved my life, so it's nothing to do this, it's not too much to promise with your body."
Xie He chuckled, this big brother Yan is so humorous, he even said such words as a promise, not to mention that his life-saving grace has long been paid off.
Xiao Yan looked at him firmly and said, "Don't you believe it?"
Xie He smiled playfully: "I believe that you are so kind to me, but it's a pity that I can't ask you to agree with me, I am the prince's man."
Xiao Yan was silent for a while, and said: "Since this is the case, I can't win people's love. I have observed for a while, and I see that the prince treats you really well. If you follow the prince, he will definitely treat you badly."
The smile on Xie Hewenyan's face faded away. He has recently become familiar with Big Brother Yan, and he spoke more casually, saying: "My lord won't like me."
Xiao Yan looked sad, and asked: "Why, what did he do wrong?"
Xie He shook his head slowly: "I don't know what the prince is thinking, but I know he won't like me. To the prince, I am just a lowly young man who can be discarded at any time. He is the son of the phoenix and the grandson of the dragon. How could you like someone like me?"
Xiao Yan said unwillingly: "But I think he really likes you."
Xie He looked at him seriously: "So what, even if I like it, it's just a whim. I have no name and no status, and I have a low status. I will be killed and sold one day, and no one will care about it... The prince is unpredictable. I am happy to pamper you today." I will kill tomorrow if I am not happy...how can this kind of person be relied on by me."
Seeing Xie He's calm expression, Xiao Yan said this sentence, and remembered that he used to do this, a mere young man, who died and gave it away, without blinking his eyes... It was himself who repeatedly failed his trust , no wonder Xie He would not believe him. Xiao Yan was filled with pity in his heart, speechless, and said slowly: "I understand."
Xie He laughed dumbly, "What's the use of you knowing, hey, don't talk about these things, let's just muddle through, at least you can eat and wear well now, why worry about suffering in the future."
Xiao Yan said distressedly: "But you should have lived well..."
Xie He shook his head, with sadness in his eyes, "No, I should bear these sins, because my father made a mistake..."
Xiao Yan pursed his lips, and finally said: "Maybe he is not guilty, but was slandered."
Xie He's eyelashes trembled, and after a long time, he said softly: "Thank you for comforting me. In fact, I also hope that he is innocent. I have always admired and admired him so much. I didn't expect... he would commit that kind of crime and hurt me. So many people... It's a pity, it's just a hope, everyone says the evidence is conclusive."
He said, with tears in his eyes, "You don't know how sad I am... how much I believed in him..."
He respected his father so much, but his father let everyone down.
Xiao Yan couldn't help hugging Xie He's shoulders gently, feeling the boy's trembling body, and said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, I believe him."
I will definitely let everyone know that your father was not guilty, and neither are you. You should not bear all this. Those who should bear it are those who really committed crimes, and they deserve what they deserve.
Xiao Yan comforted Xie He before saying goodbye and leaving.
…………………
Inside the palace was peaceful, but outside it was turbulent and turbulent. The evidence of the crown prince's crimes is conclusive, embezzlement, perverting the law, mutilating good ministers, fornication with foreigners and other unforgivable crimes were laid out one by one, shocking, the emperor was almost pissed off, and directly decreed that the title of the prince should be deprived and he should be imprisoned.
The crown prince was abolished, and other princes lacked competitiveness. Many people began to move closer to Xiao Yan. Now that the emperor is not in good health, he might not last long. Xiao Yan is the most likely to inherit the throne.
Although the outcome has been decided, there are still many follow-up matters to be dealt with, Xiao Yan is still busy.
Xiao Yan came back very late that day, Xie He didn't sleep, and was still waiting for him.
After such a long time, although Xie He was still afraid of him, he didn't show it so obviously. Seeing him coming back, he showed a submissive and well-behaved smile. Xiao Yan looked at Xie He's smile with a soft heart.
He returned home in the dead of night, and there was the only person he loved waiting for him with a smile, so that life would be complete.
Otherwise, even if one day becomes the Ninth Five-Year Venerable, he will only feel regretful.
Xiao Yan walked over, gently hugged Xie He in his arms, and said: "I kept you waiting for a long time."
Xie He opened his lips slightly, "Slave..." However, after he only said one word, his lips were blocked by Xiao Yan, and he kissed him heavily. Xie He couldn't breathe smoothly after being kissed, his cheeks were flushed, and he couldn't say anything Out.
It took a long time for Xiao Yan to let go of him, and said with a smile: "Don't call yourself a slave, huh?"
Xie He looked at Xiao Yan suspiciously. He didn't know why he suddenly said such words. At this moment, he heard Xiao Yan say again: "Ning'er, can you be my princess?"
Xie He's eyes widened slowly, and he looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief. I'm afraid the prince is crazy, how could he say such a thing
Xiao Yan stared at him deeply, with undisguised affection in his eyes, and he said word by word: "Be my princess, no one will be able to humiliate you, no one will dare to say that you are low...you don't have to worry about it." God, I'm not happy to sell you and kill you, because you are my only wife, and I will do my best to love and respect you."
Xie He was dumbfounded, tongue tied, "My lord, you..."
Xiao Yan hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes were tender and affectionate, and said: "I know you don't believe me, but..."
He grabbed Xie He's hand, and solemnly put a jade pendant into his palm. He opened his mouth, and his low voice was like a promise for the next life, "I said, the grace of saving life should be promised with your body."
[Ding, target Xiao Yan's favorability degree +2, current favorability degree 96]
Xie He looked at the jade pendant in the palm of his hand, his eyes were confused at first, and then his eyes were shocked, as if the whole world had been subverted, his lips trembled: "You...you are..."
Xiao Yan looked at Xie He firmly, nodded slowly, "It's me."
