Beyond the Great Wall

At night, the night is like ink to dye the sky.Meng Che came here very frequently recently, and when he arrived tonight, he couldn't help but hold Shen Wancong down. It was rare for Shen Wancong not to resist, but his eyes turned red and he started crying in the middle of the walk.Meng Che thought that he was being hurt by himself, so he stopped to talk and persuade, kissed and coaxed him gently for a long time.Meng Che acted savagely, and it was quite uncomfortable for him to stop halfway.

When cleaning up afterward, Meng Che found that Shen Wancong was bleeding again, so he ran out and brought in some ointment to help apply the medicine.Shen Wancong nestled quietly in the quilt, and was picked up by Meng Che and stuffed into his arms.He struggled to get away, as if hesitating for something.Meng Che lightly scratched his hair with a palm, picked up a few curls and played with them between his fingers, his eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Shen Wancong's complexion was not that good, probably because he was tired just now.His hands were still scratching or picking at the quilt inlaid with gold thread restlessly, and there were still some drops of water hanging from the slender eyelashes.Meng Che stretched out his other hand to touch his face, but he turned his head slightly to avoid it, leaving a few marks on his fair neck that were very conspicuous: "Your Majesty, don't..."

"Your Majesty?" Meng Che suddenly pinched his chin and forced him to look at him. Although he knew that the Holy One could not be called by his name, he did not stop Shen Wancong from calling him by his full name, "Who am I?"

"Your Majesty..." Shen Wancong only felt that the bones in his jaw were about to be crushed, so he reluctantly replied. "Let me ask again, who am I, and who are you?" Meng Che's hands became stronger and stronger, and Shen Wancong was so painful that he could barely speak.

When he let go again, Shen Wancong's chin was already red, and while rubbing, he raised his eyes to look at Meng Che, only to see half of Meng Che's face turned cold.He knew that Meng Che was angry just now. "From now on...you don't have to come here to look for me, I won't be in Mijing, I'm leaving." He lowered his head, "You should ask people to withdraw one by one as soon as possible, otherwise it will be very inconvenient when the day comes. After thinking for a long time during the day, I can't stay here any longer." Shen Wancong's hair was loose, and there were several strands hanging on his chest.Because it was Meng Che who had just rubbed his hair, it looked a little messy.

"It's not good here? If you don't like it, just say it, and I'll make someone change it." Although Meng Che's tone was cold, he could still hear a hint of disbelief.

"No, they are all fine, it's just that I'm too cumbersome and dragged them down too much. They shouldn't have taken care of me..." He tried to make himself say this in a calmer tone, so that Meng Che couldn't see Realized that he was actually trembling, "...you too."

"After all, you and I have different identities. You should have thrown me in Sangchuan and burned me to death forever. You can sit back and relax. If you did that night, it would be worse than now.

A little easier.You are the emperor of the new dynasty, and you want to be famous forever. You shouldn't get too close to me; I have already ruined the Shen family's life with the infamy of the king of subjugation. I feel really sorry for you treating me like this . Seeing that Meng Che was about to speak, he hurriedly interrupted Meng Che, "I don't deserve to see you."If I still stay in Mijing to enjoy the glory and wealth, how can you give me the face to meet the ancestors under the spring..."

"I have been charged with the crime of subjugation of the country. These days in Xiaojing, I am ready to go to hell after death..." He bit his lower lip, looked at Meng Che every word and said, "I don't like this place, I I don't like you anymore." Meng Che's eyes seemed to be filled with anger, he knew that with his current physical condition, it would be difficult for him to leave Mi Jing for half a day.

Meng Che stared at him for a long time, his eyes like ancient wells did not see the ripples for a long time: "You don't like it, you want to leave... Where are you going?"

Shen Wancong pulled the quilt to cover his legs, and habitually covered Meng Che, and was startled when he finished: "I remember you said that the moon outside the Great Wall is beautiful...I...I'm going to the Great Wall Watching the moon." He found that he was starting to lack confidence, and he really didn't dare to look into Meng Che's eyes.

"Shen Wancong, do you know that your decision is absurd!" Meng Che pulled him into his arms and locked him tightly. Meng Che guessed that he might have made him angry just now.

"Don't you think that the founding emperor and the last emperor of the previous dynasty..." Shen Wancong let him hug him tightly, his tone was soft but extremely cold, "Is it even more absurd?"

"Have you ever thought about Shen Wanqing? She will be sad if you do this." Meng Che tried his best to relax his arms so as not to make him uncomfortable, "You said it, Shen Wanqing is still a child. You are willing to let her live alone in the here?"

"Even though I'm so reluctant, she's going to grow up eventually..." Shen Wancong thought that the time was almost up, so he gently left his embrace, leaned into the bedside cabinet and opened the drawer to take out two kits, " If you think she is annoying, just leave her alone. I still have a few things here, and they are worth a little money for her to live on."

"Did someone come to instigate you?" Meng Che took the things Shen Wancong handed over and threw them back into the cabinet, "I know that He Yan came here today, is it her?"

"Concubine Chen just came to visit me as a patient out of kindness, and she gave me a lot of delicious food, but she didn't say anything." Shen Wancong said softly, "The plate of cakes on the table is made of those ingredients, and it's delicious. Why? The marriage is very good, you should have a prince with her as soon as possible..."

Meng Che didn't speak anymore, looking at Shen Wancong who was always in a calm state in front of him, he remained silent for a long time.He suddenly turned over and got out of bed, and said coldly: "No."

When Meng Che was about to reach the screen, he heard a faint sigh behind him——

"Meng Che... just let me go."

Even though Meng Che said it was not allowed, Shen Wancong was still packing his things and preparing to leave.Meng Che never came again, but He Yu, Gu Qin and Tang Lin came here from time to time.Seeing that his illness was still not cured, Gu Qin dragged Tang Lin to Meng Che and asked to follow Shen Wancong to the frontier after hearing what he said.Meng Che was angry for a long time after hearing Gu Qin's request, but he still came to Shen Wancong's mansion in person to ask again the next day.

Shen Wancong wandered around the garden with him for half an hour, and finally Meng Che sighed, yes.

Shen Wancong set off at night and stopped to rest when he was about to go to the next city.Meng Che deliberately left He Yin who had been waiting in the palace for a long time, and came to Shen Wancong, but he just looked at him and didn't speak.Shen Wancong was actually willing to sit quietly in front of him, took out the Huanglongyu pendant that had been hidden in his sleeve for a long time, and stuffed it into Meng Che's hand: "If you don't dislike it, keep it."

The jade pendant was still warm when Meng Che took it, it seems that Shen Wancong handed it to him after warming the stone.He touched the pendant little by little, and the carved Nine Dragons looked less majestic and domineering under the light. "You want me to look at things and think about people?" Meng Che watched him stand up, and stood up too, presumably the time must be coming, and he was leaving too.

"I... didn't mean that." Shen Wancong turned around and didn't look at him, "I just want to thank you for taking care of me in Mijing." Shen Wancong took the first step, Dailan's sleeves fluttered in the wind. Lift one side.

"Wan Cong...you have nothing to say to me?" Meng Che stopped him, and carefully put the jade pendant into his sleeve.Meng Che abruptly choked up the words that followed, and took a step forward to hold his slightly cold hand. He believed that his actions would not annoy him again.

Shen Wancong let him hold him for a long time, when his hand was about to be warmed by him, he pushed him away with a little effort: "That's all." His voice was very calm, as if he just wanted to go out to water Manjusri.

Meng Che never called him or touched him again, and stood behind him without saying a word.Shen Wancong walked steadily step by step, but his speed slowed down, like walking in a garden.In the end, his figure disappeared into the vast night, and Meng Che never moved a step since he said "That's all".There is a moon tonight, and the moon is now much rounder than it was when it wound up in early spring.The moonlight is like water, and the water is like bright light.

It's just because you don't like it, you don't like it.I let you go because you don't like it, and I won't keep you because you don't like it.

Standing upstairs, Meng Che watched the carriage go away, crushing the cold moonlight.
