The curtains in the house fluttered and the candlelight flickered.
Rong Xuan carried Ji Fan into the inner room and put him on the bed gently. He couldn't help but stare at Ji Fan's sleeping face for a while, thinking how come this person is still like a child, and can't live without candied fruits.
Rong Xuan took off Ji Fan's boots and covered him with a quilt. After doing all this, he sat on the edge of the bed in a daze.
Finished, should he wake her up or not? He no longer knew where Ji Fan hid Rong's mother, so he had to find out.
Rong Xuan saw Ji Fan was drunk, so he reached out and gently pushed him, then asked in a low voice, "Hey, wake up... Where did you hide my mother?"
Ji Fan frowned, opened his eyelids with difficulty, and muttered, "Your mother...?"
"," Rong Xuan saw that there seemed to be a chance, so he quickly leaned close to his ear, pointed at him and whispered word by word, "My mother, where did you hide her?"
Ji Fan was in a drowsy state, and after hearing this, he replied in his consciousness: "Your... mother...?"
Rong Xuan wondered why Ji Fan was still cursing, and corrected him: "It's not your mother's, it's my mother. You brought my mother to the capital, where are you hiding her?"
Ji Fan moved his lips silently, as if to say something, but the words were vague and not clear: "She is..."
Rong Xuan leaned close to his lips: "Where is it?"
Ji Fan: "She is..."
"Where?"
Rong Xuan still couldn't hear clearly, so he could only move closer. However, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his earlobe. It turned out that someone had bitten his earlobe. He looked up in surprise and saw that Ji Fan, who was originally drunk and asleep, had woken up at some point. There was a clear and cold light in his eyes, and he didn't look drunk at all.
He was pretending?!
Ji Fan bit Rong Xuan's earlobe, and when he was distracted, he turned over from the bed and grabbed his throat with lightning speed. The smile on his lips made people feel like spring breeze, and he looked kind and holy, but his tone was dangerous, and he asked back: "Why, did you come to Beijing just to find your mother?"
Rong Xuan covered his bitten ear, lowered his eyes to look at the hand that was strangling his throat, and did not resist. However, he still had the habit of talking nonsense. He took a breath, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Of course not, I have a beautiful wife who suddenly disappeared. Shouldn't I go to Beijing to look for her?"
Ji Fan heard him taking advantage of him again and narrowed his eyes: "Who do you say is your wife?"
Rong Xuan looked at him and said, "I didn't say anything to you, why are you so anxious?"
"My little wife is beautiful and well-behaved. She always pesters me to call her husband. Suddenly, I feel so distressed."
He was clearly teasing Ji Fan on purpose, and he specifically mentioned the word "husband". Ji Fan was originally so angry that his face turned cold, but he didn't know what he was thinking, and suddenly he chuckled and asked in an ambiguous way: "So... you only want a wife and not a mother?"
Rong Xuan didn't say a word of truth: "My wife would run away with someone, but my mother wouldn't. I'd rather just have my mother. How about Crown Prince Yan show mercy and let my mother and I be reunited?"
The smile on Ji Fan's lips gradually faded: "Rong Xuan, have you known my position for a long time?"
"I know," Rong Xuan was prepared. He fumbled around for a while and took out a black jade pendant from his sleeve. It was engraved with wild swallow patterns and could only be used by the Ji royal family. "When I rescued you, you were wearing this jade pendant. The kidnapper king didn't give it to me, so I took it."
He deliberately emphasized the word "save".
Ji Fan glanced at the jade pendant and found that it was indeed the one he had worn before, and he did not take it back. He quietly approached Rong Xuan's ear, his breath was cold and unpredictable: "Then how did you know that the person the pursuers were looking for that day was me?"
It’s really hard to fool.
Rong Xuan wrapped the string of the jade pendant around his fingertips several times, flicking it from time to time, looking fearless: "Everyone knows that Zhou and Yan fought in Changling, and the only son of Donglin Marquis died on the battlefield. Later, when Yan negotiated for peace, he opposed it with all his strength. He certainly doesn't want the two countries to make peace, so how could he like you, the prince from Yan. The sheath of the sword of the pursuer who came to search a few days ago has a crouching tiger pattern engraved on it, which clearly belongs to the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry Battalion, which happens to be under the command of Donglin Marquis. Although I don't know why they are looking for you, they must have bad intentions. Is it hard to guess?"
What Rong Xuan said were things that everyone knew, but no one would think of these two things together. When he said it, it became logical and there were no loopholes that people could find.
Ji Fan always felt that Rong Xuan was not simple. His slender eyebrows were frowned, and the strength of his fingertips could not help but relax a little: "Then why did you..."
Why did you lie to me and let me be your wife
Ji Fan couldn't say the second half of the sentence. He could only utter a few words and then it was difficult to finish.
Rong Xuan was a smart man, he knew what Ji Fan was going to ask, he felt the tension in his throat loosen, he glanced at him consciously. He saw the beauty pursed her lips, the candlelight was bleary.
Very beautiful, very charming, very stunning...
Seeing this, Rong Xuan's heart felt like being poked by something, very light, very itchy, but hard to ignore. He was like the scholar who was bewitched by a demon in Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. He couldn't help but lean towards Rong Xuan, just like he had lost his memory before, raised his hand to hook Fang Jianjian's chin, and said in a low voice: "The prince is like a god, with peerless grace, even a stone would be moved. Rong Xuan is just an ordinary man, but he is not as stubborn as a stone. I have admired him for a long time and am willing to do my best to protect the prince..."
—《A complaint from a person who is obsessed with appearance in the late stage》
When Ji Fan heard the word "admiration", he was stunned.
Rong Xuan was wearing overnight clothes, and now he took off his mask, revealing his handsome and charming face. There was always a small smile in his eyes, making it hard to tell whether it was romantic or affectionate.
He hadn't seen Ji Fan for a few days, but he felt as if he was in another world. He stroked Fang's face with his fingertips, and for a moment he was reluctant to let go. Ji Fan was in a daze and even forgot to push him away.
Rong Xuan lowered his eyes and slowly approached Ji Fan. His noses were getting closer and closer, and his lips were almost touching. Their warm breaths blended together, making people feel excited. Finally, he whispered:
"… Why don't you tell me, where is my mother?"
Crash!
This sentence was like a bucket of cold water, waking Ji Fan up from his daze. He reacted and pushed Rong Xuan away. Seeing Fang fall on the bed, he narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I won't tell you."
Rong Xuan was thrown onto the bed unexpectedly. He thought that he had seen people robbing gold and silver, but robbing his mother was nothing. Although he knew that Ji Fan would definitely not harm Rong's mother, he still couldn't figure out what Fang was up to: "If the palace is angry, just vent it on me. Why did you have to capture my mother?"
He just coaxed Ji Fan to call him husband twice, and if he didn't, he would call him back. If Ji Fan wanted, Rong Xuan didn't mind letting him touch his little face.
Ji Fan waved his sleeves and said, "I am determined to catch you, what can you do to me?"
He stared at Rong Xuan and said in a light tone, "I am in a good mood today, so I will only arrest your mother. If I am in a bad mood tomorrow, I might also arrest your father who escaped from prison..."
Rong Xuan thought that was a good relationship, so let them reunite, so Rong Zhengqing wouldn't have to ask for a wife every day. He raised his lips slightly and teased, "I didn't realize that Your Highness was so anxious to meet the parents-in-law. Actually, you don't have to go through so much trouble. Just serve a cup of wife tea. If you want to call your parents, just call them directly. At worst, I will call all the uncles and uncles-in-law in Jingzhou and let you catch as many as you want, how about that?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Fan swept his sleeves, angry and embarrassed. Rong Xuan was prepared and dodged, clamped Ji Fan with his left hand, and pressed the numb point on his waist with two fingers of his right hand, and pressed him on the bed in an instant.
Ji Fan had no intention of hurting him, and his moves were loose, so Rong Xuan took advantage. Now that he was captured and unconscious, he couldn't even struggle.
Rong Xuan held Ji Fan down, but he was reluctant to use too much strength: "Since the palace is not here to offer tea to my daughter-in-law, why did you arrest my mother? Why don't we be frank and speak frankly? What do you want to release her?"
Seeing that he couldn't break free, Ji Fan simply gave up struggling. He was pressed on the bed by Rong Xuan, and his profile reflected on the brocade quilt made him look even smoother and more delicate. Hearing this, he curled his lips coldly and closed his eyes lightly: "I will let him go when I am in a good mood. If you have the ability, go find him. If you can't wait, just kill me."
He was not with Rong's mother, but clearly with Rong Xuan.
Rong Xuan approached Ji Fan and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh, I know, Your Highness is still angry about me coaxing you to call me husband. How about this, I won't let you suffer any loss, how about calling you husband three times?"
Ji Fan glared at him, becoming even more annoyed and embarrassed: "Rong Xuan, do you have any shame?"
Rong Xuan deliberately touched his face and laughed softly, "Do you think I am a person who cares about face? Why don't you just tell me? You are my lover and I am afraid that you will suffer. If you still don't want to tell me today, I will stay here for one night. Anyway, you and I have slept in the same bed together for at least two days..."
With every word he said, the blush on Ji Fan's face deepened, and in the end it was so red that it was about to bleed. Especially Rong Xuan's slender fingertips kept circling around his waist, and it looked like he was about to do something indecent.
Ji Fan finally couldn't help but yelled, "Stop it!"
Rong Xuan immediately stopped and smiled: "You are finally willing to speak?"
Ji Fan buried his face in the pillow and said nothing. His chest was hesitant, and he didn't know whether he was angry or embarrassed: "..."
Rong Xuan: "If you don't tell me, I will really do it?"
Ji Fan finally raised his eyes to look at him, still refusing to let him go, and raised his eyebrows: "I am in a bad mood today, and I don't want to let him go. If you have the courage, come again tomorrow and try. If you can break in, I will hand him over to you."
Rong Xuan's fingertips were wrapped around a strand of hair on his shoulder, playing with it, somewhat reluctantly: "But I have already barged in today."
Ji Fan: "Today doesn't count!"
If he hadn't sent Yan Fengchen away, how could Rong Xuan have broken into the mansion so easily.
Rong Xuan thought that it would not be a problem to come back tomorrow: "Then do you keep your word?"
Ji Fan: "A gentleman's word is as good as his bond."
Hearing this, Rong Xuan finally let go of Ji Fan and got up from the bed. He stepped back to the window and glanced at Ji Fan, as if he was afraid that he would change his mind: "Then it's settled. I'll come to see the palace again tomorrow."
After he finished speaking, he smiled, and in a flash, he flipped out of the window, landed silently, and quickly disappeared into the night.
Ji Fan didn't expect Rong Xuan to arrive so quickly. He went to the window, raised his hand and pushed the window, and saw that it was quiet outside, and there was no trace of Rong Xuan.
"… "
Ji Fan couldn't explain why, and he felt a little lost. He closed his eyes in pain, thinking that he was really crazy, why did he bring Rong's mother here for no reason. Although Rong Xuan had taken advantage of him, he also saved him. The merits and demerits offset each other and there should be no entanglement. Why did he insist on bringing Fang here
Ji Fan couldn't figure out the answer. He was smart and good at understanding people's hearts, but when it came to himself, he was also blinded by one leaf and became stupid and hesitant.
The night wind blew gently, and suddenly a slight sound was heard outside the courtyard—
“Ouch~~~~”
Like a wolf howling.
Ji Fan was not aware of anything and looked in the direction of the sound. Suddenly, everything went dark in front of him and he saw a person hanging upside down on the eaves. It turned out that Rong Xuan was not there yet and was deliberately imitating the howling of a wolf to scare him.
Ji Fan glanced at him and said in a bad tone: "Not yet, if you are caught by the guards, I will not save you."
Rong Xuan crossed his arms and smiled wickedly: "I forgot to give you something, do you want it?"
Ji Fan was actually tricked, and asked half-believingly, half-doubtingly, "What is that?"
Rong Xuan beckoned him, and there seemed to be something hidden in his palm: "Come and get it."
Ji Fan hesitated for a moment after hearing this, but still looked out, wanting to know what Rong Xuan was up to. However, just as he leaned out of the window, he suddenly felt a warm sensation between his eyebrows. It turned out that the man hanging upside down on the eaves deliberately kissed him.
"Chiu~"
Ji Fan was stunned by the kiss and took a step back. He touched the place where he was kissed, his eyes slightly widened, and he looked at Rong Xuan in surprise, and was speechless for a moment: "You..."
His cheeks were visibly stained with a thin layer of red, and he managed to utter two words after a long time: "How dare you!"
Rong Xuan didn't know what was going on with him. When he saw Ji Fan pushing the window and standing in the moonlight, he originally wanted to bite his ear to get back at him, but he miscalculated the angle and ended up kissing him on the forehead.
"I dare not be presumptuous. I'd better go home and herd cattle."
Rong Xuan's smiling face made people blush and their hearts beat fast. He took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and threw it directly into Ji Fan's arms: "Eat less, be careful of bad teeth, I really, take good care of my mother."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared in the darkness, leaving no trace. Only the rustling of leaves in the wind remained.
When Ji Fan received the oil paper package, he had already guessed what it was. He opened it and saw that it was a bag of freshly pickled preserved fruits, with thickly cut flesh, pickled with sugar, sour and sweet.
Ji Fan thought Rong Xuan really thought he was a three-year-old kid, using these snacks to coax him. He originally wanted to throw the bag to make himself look tougher, but he failed after several attempts.
Well, don't waste food.
Ji Fan finally threw a glazed vase on the ground with a flick of his sleeves.
“Crash—”
Finally I feel relieved.
The deputy commander heard the noise outside and immediately rushed in with his men. However, due to Ji Fan's usual rules, he did not dare to rush in rashly. He could only ask nervously through the door: "Palace?"
"nothing."
Ji Fan's calm voice echoed from inside the room, "Where's Feng Chen? Why isn't he guarding outside?"
The deputy commander stammered, "Maybe... maybe he ran away for fun. I'll go look for him right away."
The deputy general saw that nothing happened, so he led his men out again. He searched the mansion from top to bottom, and finally found Yan Fengchen in the flower garden at the gate.
The deputy commander was so anxious: "Feng Chen, what are you doing sitting here? Why don't you stay outside the palace room?"
Yan Fengchen was sitting on the ground alone, plucking flower petals and playing with them. Hearing this, he muttered unhappily, "He won't let me have snacks, so I won't play with him."
The deputy commander had fought alongside Han Xiaoyun in the past, so he was considered half his senior. Upon hearing this, he kicked him in the ass and said, "Stop talking nonsense and go guard it quickly, or I'll tell General Han and see how he'll deal with you!"
Yan Fengchen had no choice but to cover his butt and go back reluctantly. He saw that the candlelight inside was still on, so he secretly peeked through the window and saw Ji Fan sitting in the study, eating alone, leaning on his back and looking a little absent-minded.
It's candied fruit!
Yan Fengchen's eyes lit up, but then he felt a little sad. Why didn't the palace give him some
When Rong Xuan was walking back to the inn in the dark, the system suddenly appeared silently and made a "ding" sound beside his ear: Please pay attention, the villain's blackening degree has been reduced to 8888, please continue to work hard~
Rong Xuan: “…”
#Very good, it's time to go back to the game#
