Xiao Qinghuan

This sentence hit the most secret point in Jiang Xiaohan's heart. He seemed to have been waiting for such a sentence all this time—waiting for the other party to tell him that the gods came on the clouds, and they had already stood there. By his side, instead of standing high in the clouds, waiting for him to walk up step by step.

Jiang Xiaohan rubbed Yan Qing's wrist with his thumb, and pressed his fingertips gently on his veins.

Martial arts practitioners would subconsciously hide their vitals, but Yan Qing didn't even care what Jiang Xiaohan was doing, he was used to and naturally let Jiang Xiaohan hold his hand, his eyes only focused on Jiang Xiaohan's lapel.

There was a smear of dried blood there, staining half of the collar dark brown.

Yan Qing felt a strong fear. Today's situation is the result of Jiang Xiaohan conniving Fan Rong intentionally or unintentionally.But after that, if he didn't come, what would Ning Zongyuan do to him.

Jiang Xiaohan felt peaceful.

This seemed to be back to the day when he first met Yan Qing, covered in blood, he went to the tree where Yan Qing lived, waiting for him to help.

The only difference is that that time was calculated by Jiang Xiaohan, but this time it was Yan Qing who came willingly.

After a while, Jiang Xiaohan suddenly laughed in a low voice: "When I was young, a fortune teller once said that I was cold-tempered, lonely and widowed all my life, and in the future—"

"He's inaccurate." Yan Qing didn't like to hear such words, interrupted him involuntarily, and affirmed with almost anger: "There is no one in this world who is more accurate than me in fortune-telling, you should listen to me."

Yan Qing has always been humble, and it was the first time Jiang Xiaohan saw him look so determined and confident.

"I said that in the future, you will be magnanimous all the way and become rich and powerful." Yan Qing said: "You will have children who will be happy at your knees, and you will have a lover who will accompany you for a lifetime."

Jiang Xiaohan seemed to have been standing on the edge of the cliff before, but now someone pulled him back involuntarily, and the howling mountain wind from under the cliff swept him up, and he felt cold after a while.

The pulse under his fingertips is long and strong - this is the frequency of Yan Qing's heartbeat, Jiang Xiaohan thought so.

Yan Qing said suddenly: "You still want me to come, don't you?"

Jiang Xiaohan didn't speak, which was a tacit consent.

"You left Jiang Mo behind because you expect me to come back." Yan Qing said, "You want me to come, but you just can't believe I will come."

With this posture, Jiang Xiaohan pulled Yan Qing into his arms, and his hand landed on the back of Yan Qing's neck, gently and irresistibly pulled him closer, and gently pressed his lips against his.

When he was in Pingjiang, Jiang Xiaohan was so close to him from time to time, almost kissing him every now and then, but at that time, most of them were just a superficial touch, appearing innocent and affectionate.

Today is not the case, Jiang Xiaohan's gesture of hugging him is extremely gentle, but when he is intimate, it is the complete opposite.He seemed eager to confirm something, before Yan Qing could open his mouth, he pried open his teeth involuntarily.Yan Qing frantically tried to respond to him, but still fell into the opponent's trap unable to resist.

Jiang Xiaohan kissed very carefully, as if he was comforting Yan Qing, but also comforting himself.In this cramped prison, he felt satisfied and safe for a long time.As if as long as Yan Qing was by his side, he would be invincible.

He felt his eye sockets warm, and before he could take a step back, warm water dripped on his lips. Jiang Xiaohan subconsciously sipped it, only to realize that it was salty.

—It's tears.

The long-lost barrier disappeared in this lingering kiss, and the two of them tacitly did not mention the previous separation without saying goodbye-just like the last separation without leaving a word, this reunion Needless to say.

Jiang Xiaohan let go of Yan Qing, trying to pull him into his arms.There were two terrifying bone-piercing chains between Yan Qing and him, and he was shocked to see that the master just didn't care about it and showed no taboos.Yan Qing was half-kneeling by the side of the low couch, afraid of touching the wound, so she took a step forward and slammed into Jiang Xiaohan's arms with all her strength.

There seemed to be something hard in Jiang Xiaohan's arms, Yan Qing reached in and touched it, and took out a celadon bottle.This bottle was used by him to fill Jiang Xiaohan with medicine.Yan Qing uncorked the bottle and poured out the pills inside, roughly counting them, only to find that none of them were missing.

"...Why don't you eat?" Yan Qingming asked knowingly.

Jiang Xiaohan squeezed his hand and put a pill into his mouth, and replied with a few slaps, "I forgot before."

Yan Qing knew in his heart that he was talking nonsense, of course it couldn't be that Jiang Xiaohan had been sleeping soundly every night since he left him, but it was useless to eat this thing, and he couldn't see him when he woke up the next day.

In Yan Qing's ears, Jiang Xiaohan's heartbeat sounded like a drum, and the terrifying iron chain dangled in front of his eyes, which was terribly dazzling.The two chains pierced through the flesh, the wound would not be healed, and blood would ooze out with a slight movement.In just a short while, Jiang Xiaohan's front was already dyed red again.

Yan Qing finally couldn't bear it anymore and turned his head away, his eyelashes trembled, and he clenched Jiang Xiaohan's clothes tightly.

Jiang Xiaohan wrapped his arms around his back, and kneaded the muscles of the back of his neck and shoulders with the other.

"It's not pretty." Jiang Xiaohan pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "No way, you can't change clothes and take a shower at will in the prison, if you don't dislike it, just—"

Before he finished speaking, he felt that the cloth on his chest was wet. Jiang Xiaohan stretched out his hand to touch it, only to find that it was Yan Qing's tears.

"Forget it..." Jiang Xiaohan was completely irritated by his few tears, and sighed disarmedly, and said helplessly, "I have never done anything against you."

Mr. Jiang's ability to adapt to changes is not in vain. Now that Yan Qing has come, he can't knock people out and put them in the carriage to send them away. Besides, it's safer to keep people by his side than to let them go. Mr. Jiang Thinking self-destructively.

Yan Qing moved slightly, and withdrew from his arms. His eyes were clear and bright, except for the slight redness at the end of his eyes, there was no trace of crying at all. Jiang Xiaohan tactfully did not try to expose him, and gently squeezed Yan Qing's lips. Jaws turned his face away.

"Look at me." Jiang Xiaohan said rather dissatisfied: "What's so interesting about that broken chain?"

Although he was complaining, there was a smile on his face - he always had the prettiest smile, the corners of his eyes were slightly bent, and his peach blossom eyes seemed to be filled with honey, and he would not give up until he drowned people.

Mr. Jiang has always had a lot of experience in how to appease Yan Qing, so he decided to explain it himself before the other party got over it.

"It didn't hurt a vital point, I avoided it on purpose, just looking miserable." Jiang Xiaohan took Yan Qing's hand and led him to touch the wound on his shoulder: "...If you don't believe me, look for yourself, it's just a flesh wound. "

He was telling the truth, and Yan Qing understood it as soon as he touched it.These two chains looked scary, but they happened to grazed his shoulder bones, and only penetrated into the flesh, as long as they are carefully maintained in the future, they will be fine.

Yan Qing still felt distressed: "...Does it hurt?"

The word "no pain" came to his lips, Mr. Jiang reined in the precipice in time, turned a corner wisely, and said honestly: "A little bit."

As soon as Yan Qing heard that he was in pain, he immediately grabbed the iron chain in his hand regardless, and with all his strength, he wanted to shatter it with internal force.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaohan quickly stopped him: "Ah Qing, you can't tear it down."

Yan Qing looked at him, Jiang Xiaohan pulled his hand, and seeing that the other party didn't intend to let go, he said again: "Ah Qing, His Majesty the Sixth Highness Ning Yan is the person His Majesty likes. What I do is actually to clean up those who have ulterior motives in the court... Now that everything is coming to an end, I must avoid this dispute, so that when His Majesty settles the matter in the future, I can have something to say."

"Your Majesty must also convince the public." Jiang Xiaohan said softly: "If I have been outside in a good manner, and easily manipulated me in the future, I will not be able to give an explanation to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty."

Jiang Xiaohan didn't say it clearly, both of them knew that the result was conditional - Ning Zongyuan had no intention of killing Jiang Xiaohan.

Once Ning Zongyuan has the heart to cut grass and roots, this deployment is almost equivalent to nothing.Yan Qing believed that Jiang Xiaohan would not easily entrust his life to the whim of others, but he also understood that if he wanted to escape from Ning Zongyuan by himself, he would at least have to peel off the skin.

Yan Qing didn't want to say any more, but asked, "Why didn't you take the medicine?"

"It's useless, it's troublesome." Jiang Xiaohan wiped the corners of his red eyes with his thumb: "Look at you, why are you like Ah Ling, anything you want can pull your eyes away."

"My heart hurts." Yan Qing said.

Yan Qing has always been frank, saying what's on her mind.

"I was wrong." Mr. Jiang admitted his mistake very well. He raised his hand and swore, and said sincerely: "I promise, I will take good care of myself in prison... Next time Fan Rong comes again, ask Jiang Ying to clean up how is he?"

It's okay not to mention Jiang Ying, but when Jiang Ying is mentioned, Yan Qing seems to react: "You have been in contact with the outside world?"

"Yes." Lord Jiang agreed very happily: "Jiang Ying was born as a shadow guard, how can the idiots of Yushitai stop him, he will follow me in the prison on weekdays, go out every day, and bring news back .”

Mr. Jiang suddenly realized as he spoke, and hurriedly said: "...Oh yes, after you go out, you should go back to your residence first. I will ask him to see you every night, so you can rest assured, right?"

Yan Qing finally nodded slightly.

"Okay." Jiang Xiaohan said: "There is less than a month left until Dongyue [-]th... I promise, before the birthday banquet of His Highness Sixth, all these things will be settled, okay?"

Yan Qing asked: "How do you know it will be ready then?"

"Ah Qing, let me tell you the truth. Jiang Ling was entrusted to Ning Huaijin by me, and Xie Jue was there too... When I was in Pingjiang earlier, I got evidence from Wen Zui that Ning Yu was raising private soldiers. The evidence is in my hands now, and I am not going to give it to His Majesty anymore... Ning Yu is suspicious. If Ning Zongyuan refuses to rectify his name for a long time, he may not last long. If someone stirs up the flames, he will definitely force the palace. Can the Xie family turn around? , It depends on Ning Yu." Jiang Xiaohan said seriously: "Your Majesty's body can't last long, Dongyue [-]th is the deadline... I don't know what Your Majesty is waiting for, maybe I am waiting for this, but maybe not, I just want to I know, I was waiting for this."

Yan Qing immediately understood what he meant, followed his meaning and asked: "You mean, you want to find a way to force him into the palace?"

"Yes." Jiang Xiaohan was very sure: "This is the last step...Ah Qing, the matter has come to this point, and the arrow is on the string. The Sixth Highness has a good heart and is still young. Ning Huaijin will watch the court affairs in the future. It won't be a big deal anymore."

Jiang Xiaohan knew that he couldn't keep Yan Qing at home like Jiang Ling, so he could only explain his interests to him as much as possible, lest he go out and follow other people's ways.

"Ah Qing, listen to me. Jingzhongyuan is not as simple as you think. If you walk in Beijing, you will definitely be noticed... It's okay. You take my jade pendant and want to see Ning Huaijin. You still want to do it. You can go for whatever you want. Xing Shuo is mine. If you have anything outside, you can go find him.” Jiang Xiaohan looked at him gently and firmly: “Just promise me, no matter what, don’t agree to any conditions of your majesty. ...be patient and say something disrespectful, as long as His Majesty is gone, the court will be at peace."

Yan Qing looked at him, and said after a while: "Okay."

The big rock in Jiang Xiaohan's heart finally fell to the ground. After talking for most of the night, he was obviously exhausted. Yan Qing didn't want to bother him anymore, so he changed the subject abruptly: "Do you still remember that you promised me in Pingjiang Mansion?" What."

Jiang Xiaohan managed to pull himself together, and complained with a grievance on his face when he heard the words: "I promise you that you will not lie or hide it... Ah Qing, I have explained everything in detail. If you want to settle the score, you will have to wait until after the autumn."

"I told you earlier that if you feel sorry for yourself, you will be punished for copying books, remember." Yan Qing said.

Jiang Xiaohan didn't seem to expect him to mention this suddenly, and raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "Huh?"

Yan Qing was serious: "Then... when the dust settles, you have to copy the Tao Te Ching twenty times."

Jiang Xiaohan suddenly smiled weakly, leaned close to his ear and whispered softly: "...Thirty times, in the second cabinet on the right side of my study, I have already copied it."

His lips brushed against Yan Qing's temple hair, like a gentle kiss.
