Your Majesty, come back

At night, Chu Xiao had a rare insomnia in bed, anxious and restless, fragments of the past kept flashing in his mind, and pieced together, it was his previous 34 years.

Then Yueguang raised his hand, which is the hand that a double literati should have, not Chu Xiao's.

Putting the back of his hand on his forehead, he let out a long breath.

I don't know what's going on in the palace today.

The door was pushed open, and it was the servant who ran in, threw himself on the bed and shook him: "Mr. An, get up quickly, the prince is back, he wants you to come over."

As soon as Chu Xiao heard it, he became energetic. He jumped out of bed and casually put on his robes before striding out. At night, the martial law in the small courtyard was slightly loosened. The servant led him out of the small courtyard and walked towards the garden. Chu Xiao sucked this With the cool air, the chest cavity is very comfortable, and the pace has also increased.

The servant trotted after him: "Mr. An, Mr. An, please walk slowly."

There seemed to be a faint hint of alcohol in the cool wind, Chu Xiao's nose moved, and he couldn't help smiling. This was his favorite spirit in his life.

In the garden by the small lake, someone was lying on the stone table, with the wine jug on the table messy and upside down, looking under the moonlight, that person was Chu Yue.

It's just that he looks more and more haggard, as if his yang energy has been sucked dry by spirits.

"Here you come? Sit..."

Chu Yue lazily opened his eyelids, his untied black hair fell behind him and merged with the night, unlike the tall nose bridge of the Central Plains man matched with Gao Hua's handsome face, even if he let his hair loose like this, he wouldn't let him down. People think it is sloppy and cumbersome, but it is... very beautiful.

Chu Xiao coughed and looked away.

A man, what to do with such a good-looking boy, but he can't give birth to a fat boy, it's a waste.

He also filled a glass of wine for himself, but when he was about to drink it, he saw the young man tilting his head and looking at him blankly, his eyes were watery, and he looked cute and simple, just like the one he had raised before. The facial expression of a beagle waking up.

This appearance reminded him of Chu Yue's appearance when he was a child. He was also soft and white, dull and obedient, but in the blink of an eye, they had grown up and changed beyond recognition.

Chu Xiao retracted his eyes, drained the strong wine in the glass in one gulp, and wiped out the memory that suddenly popped up in his stomach.

The young man sitting next door started to have red eyes inexplicably, lying quietly in his arms, his lips moved, as if he was disturbed by the alcohol and was at a loss.

"Hey--"

"Why don't you even look at me?"

This is how drunk people talk upside down. Chu Xiao doesn't care about being pulled by his sleeves. Instead of staying in the small courtyard, he might as well come out to accompany the drunkard.

"I don't want... to go to the palace again."

Chu Xiao was on alert, did something serious happen in the palace?

The young man buried himself in his arms as if evading, buried deeper and deeper, and repeated: "I don't want to go... I won't go, there is no way to stay there, I can't stand it..."

Chu Xiao shook the young man's arm and shook it, wanting to hear more news.

Chu Yue, who was drunk, shook his head vigorously like a child, playing his temper vaguely: "I won't go, I won't go..."

Brat, if you don't go, you have to give a reason. Chu Xiao was so angry that he wanted to yell, but he couldn't get it out no matter how angry he was, so he pushed the young man's head hard with one hand.

"You, you are so brave, why are you messing with my head..."

Chu Yue clutched his head and felt pain from eating, his eye sockets became more and more red, coupled with his recently thin face and horrific expression, it made Chu Xiao feel so pitiful that he had a headache.

"Third brother..."

Calling the soul, calling him back to the palace if he has the ability, Chu Xiao also can't understand why the young man keeps using such inappropriate titles on his lips. Holding on to his sleeve, Chu Xiao remembered the bad attitude of the young man in the study that day, and when he got annoyed, he wanted to shake the young man away, but Chu Yue's grip was even tighter, and he smelled of alcohol softly. , continue to call him.

"Third Brother."

No matter how hard-hearted he is, he can't help being soft-hearted at this time, no matter what...they are all brothers, even if he has 1 questions about Chu Yue, he can't erase this fact.

What's more, now he could hear that the young man had no ill intentions towards the third brother he was talking about, although he still couldn't figure out what he had done to deserve Chu Yue's nagging.

It turned out that his younger brother was calm and reliable in front of others, but he was so childish behind others. Chu Xiao reached out and touched the opponent's head again, but found that there was no movement, so he touched it with confidence, as hard as touching his own war horse. Today's I'm really gentle enough, Chu Xiao sighed like this.

It was probably in this situation that he felt that his brother could still be relied on, alone and helpless, and that Chu Yue would call him third brother so loudly.

Did he misunderstand something, Chu Xiao asked himself, in his eyes, a man should be ambitious, so he doesn't believe in pure loyalty, all loyalty is based on his own interests Above all, using other people's ambitions to complete his own career, this is his consistent idea.

The head covered by the hands seemed to move, Chu Xiao regained his senses, and pushed again.

Such a brother is too harmless.It was so harmless that he couldn't help but want to poke the young man's red face again. It was strange, and he didn't look like he had drunk a lot of wine. How could he be so drunk.

Could it be that the amount of alcohol is really so low? Chu Xiao couldn't help laughing, his face froze suddenly, his piercing eagle eyes swept into the air, he lowered his head suddenly, and threw the young man beside him on the ground .

A hidden weapon came through the air, with vicious force, if it wasn't for his pounce, the young man would have died.

Chu Yue was hit hard and hard on the ground, snorted a few times, seemed to want to open his eyes, but still dazedly grabbed Chu Xiao's clothes, and called indistinctly, "Third brother?"

Damn, where are the guards?Where did they all go!Chu Xiao didn't have time to think about it, so he smashed all the things on the table, hoping to use these voices to attract the guards, damn dumb, Chu Xiao was unarmed at this time, and avoided a few rounds of hidden weapons with his ear experience. It was too obstructive, Chu Xiao dragged the young man with his hands, and was in a dilemma for a while.

The killer who flew down from the tree didn't give him a moment to breathe. The poisonous blade gleamed dimly in the moonlight. Chu Xiao knew the material of the sword when he saw it.

It's the court that has started to change. Chu Yue must be blocking the way of others. You can't let the young man have an accident at this time. If the young man has an accident...

Then his son's hope of surviving would be slim.

Chu Xiao protected the young man behind him, and confronted the two black-clothed assassins single-handedly.

On balance, young people must live well. Chu Xiao understands this account very well. It is better to give the country to his family than to give it to the bastards in the court. At this time, young people are more important than themselves.

It's just that, how could he really go all out for a younger brother.

He first used a trick to snatch the sword from the assassin's hand, but after all, this body was not his before, and when his reaction was slow, he was punched in the chest by his opponent.

There was a buzzing in his ears, Chu Xiao took a sip, spit out blood, and looked back, the young man sat up with his eyes wide open, still looking lost.

An expression of disappointment... Chu Xiao was so angry that his hands increased tremendously, his chest hurt so badly, and he couldn't see clearly what was in front of him for a while.

In the pain, he finally heard the guards' hurried calls, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't realize that the assassin, who had been paralyzed on the ground at the beginning, got the strength from nowhere, jumped up and faced Chu Yue who was sitting. Kill that place.

Chu Xiao was startled, and regardless of his injuries, he used his body as a shield to block in front of the young man, protecting Chu Yue firmly.

When the dagger stabbed into his back with a sound, Chu Xiao felt that he was ridiculous.

He was actually protecting Chu Yue with his own life. What's even more ridiculous was that, except God, probably no one would know that he might end his life in such a joking way.

The young man seemed to be awake a little bit, and looked at him blankly with his eyes open, which seemed a little cute.

Chu Xiao seemed to see a vague shadow in the youth's bright black pupils.

He felt a little comforted, and he would rather die in battle than die in the palace.

It's just, a little unfulfilled.
