Dingjiangshan

Ning Yan was already half asleep and half awake, but Ning Huaijin suddenly barged in, scaring the little servant outside to exclaim two or three times.

Ning Yan turned over in a daze, and listened casually, until the little servant outside called out "Prince Gong" in a panic. Waking up in a state.

He threw off the soft quilt on his body, pulled up the curtain, and hastily called for someone to come.

Ning Yan practiced martial arts since he was a child, and his hearing is much better than ordinary people.Although He Wenting has been serving people for many years, he can be regarded as having good ears and eyes, but he is still missing him, and he was still at a loss when he was awakened.

He Wenting, who was guarding him at night, hurriedly got up from the foot of the bed and asked, "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"

However, before Ning Yan could order, He Wenting knew that he didn't need to ask.

——Because Ning Huaijin has already walked in.

He probably has already returned to the palace, and now he has changed into a dark outer shirt, and removed the jade pendant and small items such as the sachet on his body. At first glance, he looks a little plain.

Ning Huaijin didn't know if there was anyone around to wait on him. He entered the door in a cold air, without a cloak on his body, his face turned pale from the cold.

Ning Yan was so shocked that he didn't know whether to be distressed or angry.

"Uncle Emperor?" Ning Yan looked at him in disbelief, almost doubting that he hadn't woken up: "You—"

Ning Huaijin paused, stood five or six steps away from him, and looked at him gravely.

Ning Yan looked at him, and somehow felt that he could see some imperceptible grievances on his face.

——I fell asleep?Ning Yan couldn't help thinking, otherwise, how dare Ning Huaijin do such a bold thing.

Night break into the emperor's palace, if it spreads, it will be better, at most people will say that Ning Huaijin did not obey the rules, and acted recklessly with the grace of God; Heart can not be exaggerated.

Ning Yan felt that he was already careless enough since he came back from the rebellion. He never thought that Ning Huaijin, looking at a cautious person, would actually save such a big one.

Ning Yan was startled, angry and scared for a while, gritted his teeth and called out: "He Wenting."

He Wenting seemed to have recovered from the incident of "seeing Prince Gong", and knew what was more important at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, this servant will deal with it now."

As he spoke, he bowed and saluted, then turned his head and hurried out.

Although Ning Yan has always tacitly allowed Ning Huaijin to come and go in and out of his bedroom at any time and place, but most of the time Ning Huaijin still kept the rules aside. Ning Yan knew that he was coming, and would replace the internal and external servants with his caring confidants in advance. , so as not to have any gossip and gossip, which would only increase the trouble.

But "Acquiesce" is different from "Break in". One is that Ning Yan has said these days that he will treat Ning Huaijin as the same as others, and the other is that Ning Yan didn't know that Ning Huaijin would make such a move, so that even I didn't make any preparations, and the people who served inside and outside didn't sort it out.

The imperial guards outside the palace and the night guards inside the palace went down layer by layer. Although others dared not really stop Ning Huaijin because of his face, even if they didn't really "break in", it was easy to leave him behind. talk handle.

Ning Yan only felt his forehead twitch, rubbed his temples with a headache, and let out a long sigh.

Ning Huaijin's sudden attack caught him off guard. When Ning Yan saw him in the afternoon, he was still inextricably entwined with all kinds of inexplicable emotions. Scared, suddenly all the self-loathing and self-suffering were scared away.

"Uncle, why..."

As soon as Ning Yan opened his mouth, he felt unable to continue, and didn't know how to ask this question.Ask why Ning Huaijin came here in the middle of the night?Or ask him if he knows it's against the rules?

But Ning Yan himself knew the answers to these two questions, so there was no point in asking them.

So Ning Yan could only sigh again, the words on the tip of his tongue rolled a few times, and finally he only asked: "Is the emperor not cold?"

His words seemed to be more effective than any elixir. Ning Huaijin was standing there like an ice sculpture, but after hearing his words, she seemed relieved and took a few steps forward hesitantly.

Ning Yan was not afraid of him, although he had recently neglected Ning Huaijin, he did not really suspect him, so he just put on a coat and sat on the edge of the bed, waiting for him to come over.

His long-lost "acquiescence" attitude obviously gave Ning Huaijin some vague encouragement. Ning Huaijin pursed her lips, walked straight to him, and knelt down on one knee without stopping.

"Your Majesty won't see me, and won't listen to me, so I can only do something wrong." Ning Huaijin said in a low voice.

As Ning Huaijin approached, Ning Yan discovered something unusual about him - he smelled faintly of alcohol, even though he had changed his clothes and smoked with spices, he could still smell some.

"Have you been drinking?" Ning Yan asked.

Ning Huaijin gave a low hum.

Ning Yan was almost laughed angrily by him: "Drinking and blowing the cold wind, do you think it's too lonely for me to drink bitter medicine every day?"

Ning Huaijin didn't speak, he lowered his head, not knowing where he was looking.From Ning Yan's point of view, all he could see was the white nape of his neck exposed from his collar.

Ning Yan didn't want to argue with a drunk cat, he looked at Ning Huaijin helplessly for a while, and finally he softened his heart, bent slightly, trying to pull him up, and then asked He Wenting to clean up the side hall for him.

But he just stretched out his hand halfway, and before he touched Ning Huaijin, Ning Huaijin stretched out his hand and held it.

"I know you're sad." Ning Huaijin said suddenly, "I'm the one who made you sad, whether you're angry with me or don't want to talk to me, it's all right."

Ning Yan was slightly taken aback.

"It's because I've always looked forward and backward, and I've clearly been tempted, but I still rely on the fact that you were tempted first to cover it up, and I refuse to take a good look at myself." Ning Huaijin's words were obviously not thoughtful, he said it upside down, I also stumbled with the words, I don’t know if it’s because of the alcohol, but just a few words, it sounds clumsy and sincere: "...I have such a temperament, many things are either not wanted to say, or I am embarrassed, and I always feel that it will last forever. , can understand everything between each other, that's enough."

"but--"

"Uncle Emperor." Ning Yan didn't expect that he would suddenly start confessing, and was afraid of hearing something he didn't want to hear, so he subconsciously stopped him: "If you have anything to say, wait until you sober up."

Unexpectedly, Ning Huaijin shook his head, but pulled him even tighter.

"I should have said it a long time ago." Ning Huaijin said: "... I used to say that Xiao Yan is a good boy. Even now, I still think so. For so many years, in my eyes, you have never When you are ignorant for a moment, even "willfulness" is extremely measured. If I really don't want to be unwilling to do something, no matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, you will not really force me to do so."

"Throughout the ages, there are so many loyal ministers and good generals." Ning Huaijin suddenly smiled, and said softly, "But there is no one who is 'loyal' and loyal to the dragon bed."

"Uncle Emperor..."

Just as Ning Yan was about to speak, Ning Huaijin shook his head, put his index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture.

"I told you at the beginning that you misunderstood this relationship and regarded the love of each other as a heartbeat." Ning Huaijin paused, and the next words were obviously difficult for him to say, so that he needed to do something. Only with some preparation can he spit out the second half of the sentence smoothly.

"Actually not." Ning Huaijin said, "...it's me who can't tell."

Maybe Ning Huaijin really didn't understand it before, or maybe he understood it but was unwilling to admit it in his heart. In fact, it was never Ning Yan who regarded family affection as love, but himself.

It was he who misjudged his own thoughts when he heard Ning Yan's intentions at first, and didn't bear to refuse at the first moment.Since then, that family relationship has been covered with a layer of fascination that seems to exist, and it has been entangled with love until today, and it has been completely inseparable.

"Your Majesty is right. If it wasn't for His Majesty's will, I'm afraid I wouldn't think about it in my life. After the age, whether it's getting married and having children, or being alone, it's all logical." Ning Huaijin said softly: "...but there are not so many ifs in the world."

"Today is you and my monarch, you and my uncles and nephews, and has nothing to do with others. Even if there is an 'if', then I will treat others the same as I treat you." Ning Huaijin said: "Of course you like me Makes me feel happy and content, but I'm not all about it, or—"

Ning Huaijin pursed her lips, seemingly embarrassed, so she swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"I will not really spend my whole life just because of a word of 'distress'." Ning Huaijin said: "I like you because I also hate you and envy you, so I don't want to let go."

Ning Yan took a deep breath. He wanted to say something, but it seemed that someone stuffed a ball of cotton soaked in water into his chest for no reason, making him a silent dumbbell.

Ning Huaijin didn't hear the intention of refusal, so she said the following words logically.

"It's my fault for not making you feel safe." Ning Huaijin said, "If you are willing to listen to these words, I am willing to tell you often in the future—"

As Ning Huaijin said, he clenched Ning Yan's hand. He lowered his head slightly, rested his forehead on the back of Ning Yan's hand, and spoke again after a while.

"Ning Yan is unique." Ning Huaijin said.

Ning Yan finally couldn't bear it any longer. He almost exhausted all his strength before forcing out a few words tremblingly from his throat.

"Uncle Emperor..." Ning Yan said, "Get up first."

But Ning Huaijin didn't move, he knelt for a while with his head down, then suddenly let go of Ning Yan's hand and stood up.

Ning Yan subconsciously reached out to pull him, but his hand was empty - because Ning Huaijin abruptly took two steps back.

Ning Yan had just received Ning Huaijin's heart-pounding words just now, and he didn't expect him to come out like this suddenly, and he was stunned, his heart was hanging in mid-air, swaying up and down.

However, Ning Huaijin didn't leave him in a daze for too long, he took a fixed look at Ning Yan, then reached out without warning and tore off the belt of the coat, and took off the coat with an almost "firm" attitude , and then walked towards Ning Yan again.

"Emperor..." Ning Yan's heartfelt words were suddenly choked back by Ning Huaijin. He widened his eyes and said in surprise: "Uncle Huang, you, you—"

Ning Yan's ears turned red immediately, and he stuttered half a sentence.

In contrast, Ning Huaijin, who was still drinking, looked calmer.

He stretched out his hand to throw his coat and clothes into a ball on the ground, and looked at Ning Yan seriously.

"I'll ask His Majesty to see if I really like you." Ning Huaijin said.
