Viola

Putting a finger on her lips, she leaned close to him, and hugged him lightly without disturbing the other baby. "Don't wake up mother and brother."

It is not easy for Xieyu to take care of two little babies by herself, but she persisted very much, not wanting to hand over the little ones to others, so he helped as much as he could after seeing the puppies born, until now he is like a babysitting.

I don't know if the little guy understood what he said, but the old horse slid into his arms knowingly, biting his hair vigorously with his little fists.

"Are you a human or a dog? Hmm?" Shou Rao murmured softly, stroking the soft little back, turned around and led Nong'er out of the room.

Since the little baby is reluctant to sleep and is very energetic, he can only risk his life to accompany the gentleman.

There seemed to be a small bag of flour in his arms, so soft that he didn't dare to hold it for a long time every time, fearing that something might go wrong.

He planned to walk back and forth in the small garden to coax the baby to sleep.

When he turned to close the door, he heard footsteps from behind, which he was familiar with.

It's Fuwen.

He was not surprised that Fuwen said that he would come to Jieyu's room at this time.

He couldn't worry about Xie Yu taking care of the two little babies alone, not to mention how distressed Fu Wen was when she knew that the girl woke up several times a night.That sister-in-law complex has long wished to strangle those two little goblins, regardless of whether they were his nephews or not.

Today, Fu Wen has been staying in the palace since the early court until this time before returning to the mansion, and she doesn't know what happened.As soon as Fu Wen returned to the house, the first thing she did was to see if her sister and nephew were sleeping soundly.

"Fight?"

He was not surprised to meet Fuwen here, but Fuwen was surprised to see him.

He turned around and rubbed his soft hair, "Don't ask me why I haven't slept, ask your nephew."

"Hmph, it's really a little monster."

I don't know if it was his illusion, but Fu Wen said that she seemed to take a step back subconsciously, and the posture of opening the fan was not natural.

Shou Rao wondered secretly, did Fu Wen think that he was staying awake on purpose, so when he returned to the mansion, he grabbed him and asked him about the details, asking about what happened in the palace?He just got up to check because he heard the sound... But, maybe the reason why he slept so lightly tonight has something to do with it.

He couldn't deny it all.

Fu Wen said to open the fan, but it didn't fan.

"I just want to see if Xie Yu is sleeping well. Since you are going to settle this little brat, I will go to wash my body and sleep. There is morning morning tomorrow! This person really did not do it!"

Fu Wen turned around and wanted to leave.

Shou Rao's voice kept him from escaping - "Fu Wen, you have blood on your body."

"Nonsense, the sky is so dark, what can you see?"

"I smell blood."

When he couldn't see Fu Wen saying that the blood on the clothes was healed, he used to beg for a living on the cut of a knife, could it be that the smell of blood seeped into the air and he couldn't tell the difference?But seeing that Fuwen said that his face did not change and he moved freely, he thought it was not a serious injury, and he deliberately concealed it, so he hesitated before asking. "Who did you provoke? Where is the injury? I will bandage it for you, and I promise not to let Xie Yu know."

"Don't be busy."

Fu Wen said that she put down a sentence, then raised her footsteps, and left without looking back.

Shou Rao Zheng frowned slightly.Although he and Fuwen never spoke clearly, both of them knew that since he left the palace, he never asked Fuwen, Changxiu, Lanxue and the others about the affairs of the palace, because he was no longer a member of the palace. , It's also because... His relatives and friends don't want to let the affairs of the palace provoke him anymore.But is it because of this that he can't even care about Fuwen's gash being injured by someone in the palace?

"I don't know how to get involved in the affairs of the palace. Would it make it difficult for you and me if I treat your wound?"

After hearing what he said, Fu Wen turned half sideways and softened her eyes. "I never meant that..."

In the middle of the conversation, there was some noise from the gate of Wen Mansion, interrupting their conversation.

Shou Rao Zheng told Fu Wen to look at each other, and the two rushed towards the front door tacitly.

The visitor was holding a paper lantern, obviously walking a short distance, and the white light penetrated through the crack of the door, making the house brightly lit.Fu Wen said to welcome them out, and when she opened the door she yelled "Oops, it's Chang Shou and Lan Xue".

He should have known that the only one who killed him at this time was the long sleeve who had just left the palace just now, but what surprised him was Zheng, who was beside him at this moment... How to hide it now?Hello, you short-sleeved dick!

"Zhi, why are you..."

Xiao Di Changxiu extinguished the fire of the paper lantern and handed over the bamboo pole to Lanxue.

Then he looked at Fu Wen in surprise, his eyes seemed to be blaming him for letting Zheng know about "this matter".

Lan Xue was already clever, although she wanted to light up the fire water lamp in the hall so that the young master and Master Fu Wen could talk more easily, but the fire fold was hanging on the candle wick and did not touch.It won't take long to hide it, Shou Rao Zheng strode forward and pulled up his long-sleeved military uniform, which was stained with blood... and the same goes for Lan Xue's clothes.

The paper lanterns just reflected everything.

"Where did you get so much blood?"

Don't tell him, Fuwen said that she and Changxiu Lanxue have been fighting all day on the battlefield.It doesn't matter whether they are in pain or not, the blood...if it's not theirs, then whose is it?Whose blood actually stained the three of them, and whose injury kept the three of them awake at night?Who has such a pivotal ability! "... What happened to him...?"

He felt a palpitation, and let go of the military uniform that had been torn out by him, his fingers trembling a little.

"Ah—" the baby in her arms moaned, as if complaining, as if coquettishly trying to draw his attention back.

The long sleeve gestured to Lanxue, and Lanxue hugged Nong'er from his arms.

Fu Wen said that with a sigh, she lit the oil lamp in the hall, and the room was brightly illuminated, so as not to let the blind and frightened.Now that everything has been revealed, let's just explain it to someone. "Long sleeve, if you need anything urgently, just tell me, I will fight with you."

Xiao Di Changxiu lowered his eyes halfway, with a helpless expression on his face, and finally confessed.

"His situation seems to have turned for the worse. Now the palace is in chaos like a pot of porridge. Rumors are spreading around, and I don't know what is true and what is false. I have sent someone to find out the truth. I just came to let you know , I want you not to sleep first, you will have to enter the palace again tomorrow morning, either later or early in the morning. Let’s get through this night together.”

Fu Wen said that she was not surprised by the news that Chang Xiu brought, and only added what Chang Xiu didn't want to say, "We will enter the palace this afternoon to discuss political affairs with His Majesty, and when the discussion is over, we will leave first, and Your Majesty will drive back But halfway to the palace, Changxiu suddenly remembered that he had something to report, so he turned back the same way. It was just a coincidence that we were rescued... Your Majesty, who was ambushed by the assassin, was safe, but suffered injuries Not lightly, we were all stained with blood, before we had time to replace them, we returned home in a hurry.”

Xiao Di Changxiu listened, as if he was going through what happened several hours ago again, he wiped his face exhaustedly, thinking that if this happened a few more times, he would die early.Seeing that the current emperor, the son of heaven of this country, was forcibly hacked... Even if Rao Luo is not the emperor, after all, he is still a person who faces each other day and night. The scene of him lying in ambush and bleeding profusely... Looking back, I still feel palpitations, the hot blood flowed to his palms and military uniform like this.

Rao Luoxuan's face was as pale as a white flower petal. "Zheng, don't think too much, his life is not in danger..."

"Is that a good thing done by my relatives? What about the imperial army?"

Unexpectedly, Zheng who interrupted him stood where he was, asking nonchalantly and without ups and downs.

Xiao Di Changxiu couldn't tell why, but he was palpitated by such a struggle. "At that time... I think the army was in chaos. Of course, the imperial army rushed to escort them at the first time, but they also messed up..."

This kind of contention is frightening, even a fierce general galloping on the battlefield like Xiao Di Changshou can't help but guard against it.

Zheng just asked a question lightly, in a very light tone, as if it had nothing to do with it, as if it came out casually, but Xiao Di Changxiu knew it was not the case.This good friend who used to be the personal bodyguard of the crown prince is not indifferent, but like a wild beast ready to go, like a kitten when recharging his energy, well-behaved, silent, and all his fur is soft.

Xiao Di Changxiu put two fingers on his forehead, "...Zheng, please don't scare me."

damn it!They should have told him what happened after promising they wouldn't do anything.

But... does that do anything?I can't guarantee that I will do something... because the one who is injured now is Rao Luoxuan, not anyone else.They had long known that Rao Luozhen was Zheng's master, lover, enemy, friend, family member, and his... master.

Shou Rao raised his head, only to realize that his friends looked at him with a little wariness.

What's wrong?Why do people look at him like he has changed?

He smiled and felt that the corners of his mouth were a little stiff, then he opened his hands to Lanxue, wanting to take the baby back.

Lanxue saw his unnatural smile, and was worried about handing the baby to him. Seeing this, Fu Wen took the initiative to hug Nong'er back, and pushed Chen's shoulder, "Okay, let's talk about it." I've said it all, everyone, don't stand here like a pillar. Long sleeves, go and wash up, don't go back to Xiaodi's mansion tonight, we will wait until dawn. Let you go back to your room to sleep, what's the latest news? Someone will let you know."

Shou Raozheng just nodded roughly, not knowing how much he listened to what Fu Wen said, his figure slowly disappeared in the hall.

The three of them watched his back, their eyes could not hide their concern.

It has been three years since Zheng left the palace and came to live in Wen's mansion...His new life has started, smoothed out, and settled down.

Shou Rao is not quite sure how he returned to the room.

It was as if the memory of that period had been taken away from his mind, and when he found out, he had already taken off his cotton shoes and coat, lay on the kang, and looked at the crossbar on the kang out of focus.

He stretched out his hand and raised it up to his eyes, and through the moonlight pouring in through the window lattice, he saw the... bloodstains on his palm.

How did that come about?By the way, it was stained when he pulled up his long-sleeved military uniform just now.

Can't sleep tonight.

He clenched his fist a little harder.

Then he propped himself up, got off the ground barefoot, walked to the table and wanted to light the candle wick...

The candle wick had to be trimmed. He found out the scissors to trim it, but his hand was stretched out, but he couldn't align it...

Only then did he realize that his hands were shaking violently.

His hand holding the scissors was shaking...unbelievably.

He can't, can't...

The other hand had already wrinkled the tablecloth, as if to support its own weight, as if it would kneel if it didn't.

He lowered his head and looked at the indistinct pattern of the tablecloth in the darkness, which he and Xie Yu went to the market to pick out.It's just that the blue and green flowers in the golden grid seem to have turned into red violas...so bright red that it hurts his eyes.

He heard a frustrated puppy moan echoing in the room, but he wasn't sure it was coming from his own throat.

Can't hold the scissors.

After several clangs, the scissors fell down, drawing a shallow wound on the back of his hand.

Beads of blood slid down and literally stained the flowers on the tablecloth bright red.

Ridiculously, he thought it was fine.It hurts, that's fine.

At this moment, he thought that he had been hit like paraffin, and he would no longer feel anything.

He thought he wouldn't care about that man anymore, but it turned out that he would... damn it, obviously tight!

Why does he still lose his mind and worry about this?

Does he still love that man more than hating or ignoring him?Or...he is purely apologetic, he is just too guilty why was he not by his side when Rao Luoxuan had an accident?No, if he never left Rao Luoxuan, if he was still the guard of the crown prince, he would never allow this to happen.He is confident that he can stop it... Moreover, even if those assassins want to hurt Rao Luoxuan, he can block it for him!If you want to kill the crown prince, you must first get rid of the Shou Rao clan. Hasn't it always been like this from all dynasties?

Why... he actually allowed those people to hurt Rao Luo so far?

Oh my god, that man's blood still remains on his hands.

When the emperor was lying on the bed wounded; but he stood thousands of miles away as if it had nothing to do with him, standing here with his blood on his hands?

Why did such absurd things happen?Isn't the surname Shou Rao meant to protect the Rao Luo royal family...

Isn't it indivisible?Isn't his surname to protect Rao Luoxuan?

Even if Rao Luozhen is already the emperor, even if he gave Li Daoyue the throne without hesitation, even if he said "I don't need him anymore", even if he drives him out of the palace, saying that the palace The door will never open for him again...

But what if Rao Luo needs it?What if... Rao Luo Xuan needs it, but Rao Luo Xuan doesn't know?

He was sure that he would put his life on the line, and he would never let Rao Luoxuan suffer any harm.

He hated the group of people who dared to hurt Rao Luoxuan so much, he was so angry that he was shaking all over and wanted to kill someone, but what he hated even more was why he was not by Rao Luoxuan's side at that time.He hates, hates so much!

But is he going to beg that man to let him stay like three years ago, just so that he can squeeze out the last drop of his own value, and be his shield to bear all the damage, and then be ridiculed by him again, rejected by him again? outside the door?Hasn't he been bad enough?

Why should he be like a well-bred watchdog who stalks him to death when he is no longer needed, just so that he can perform the most menial duties until he dies?Besides, he doesn't understand anything?Don't you deserve to be a human being with dignity?

Go and see him.

He clenched his hands into fists and placed them on the round table.

He never lit the wick.If the room is lit, it will alarm Fuwen and Changxiu.

I just want to take one look at him and make sure he's okay, he told himself.

Other than that, he will not do anything, will not greet him, will not speak a word to him.

He just... wanted to make sure that Rao Luoxuan's life was safe, he couldn't just sit here and wait for the news.It was almost like a responsibility, more like... If he didn't do this, if he couldn't confirm with his own eyes that Rao Luoxuan was safe and sound, he couldn't forgive himself and was always in fear.

No one will know that "Shou Rao Zheng" appeared in the palace today, and it is impossible, because he is a dead person.

Shou Rao Zheng changed into black clothes, stepped on the window frame, and jumped down lightly like a cat.

The figure jumped a few times, and it was already the leap of the eaves in the distance.

Everything was going on so silently that even the wind didn't seem to disturb it at all.

The palace is heavily guarded.

This was also expected. After the emperor was attacked, Chao Yan must condemn and pressure the imperial army, and the first to bear the brunt was the imperial army general Murong Yunshuo.He knew that Murong Yunshuo, even if no one blamed him, he would definitely blame himself to death with an excessive sense of responsibility, let alone bear the pressure of civil and military officials.

But the palace is so big, it is bound to be a mistake to say that a large number of people and their positions will be mobilized all of a sudden.

And he grew up in the palace, no one is more familiar with the bricks and tiles of the palace than him, he only needs to find the loopholes in the defense.

Shou Raozheng knew how many important officials of the court lived in Lanxu, the capital, so he sneaked into the mansion with the least security, knocked out the minister who was about to go to court in the sedan chair, and took away his order to enter the palace. card, and let the bearers who didn't know where to go send him to the front of the palace.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he threatened the bearers to carry the sedan chair to an inaccessible place, and then knocked the bearers unconscious one by one.

The place where Rao Luo is located must be the most tightly guarded, but that disguise is announcing to the world: the emperor is here.

Shou Raozheng decided not to go head-to-head with the imperial army, he first hid in a place where Rao Luoxuan was likely to pass by, just took a look, and after confirming that Rao Luoxuan was in good health as stated on the imperial list, he would leave.

Fu Wen said that they have now discovered that he is missing, they must be very worried about him, and they must be able to guess... where he went.

The desire to be sure that the man was okay, and the apology to his friends almost tore him apart.

Shou Rao Zheng shook his head lightly, trying to get rid of the chaotic thoughts.

He is already in the palace. If he is not careful, he, the "guard given to death by the seventh son of the emperor", will be discovered by the imperial army who has strengthened their vigilance. If the dead are resurrected, why not scare them all to death? ?

Shou Rao fought for a few jumps, and jumped into a certain small building with the help of the rockery and rocks in the garden.

This building is so new, it is a tower he has never seen before.The decoration here is extremely elegant, although it is not resplendent, it has everything that one expects to find. The colors are bright and the furnishings are elegant. Standing in the pavilion and enjoying the cool breeze, he suddenly forgot that he was in the palace.

This place is more like a little girl's boudoir, with gentleness everywhere, and occasionally wooden crafts, wooden horses and wooden rabbits are arranged in an orderly manner; delicate and lovely puppets and glass wind chimes are hung on the shelves.

Inside the tower, there is no incense to repel mosquitoes or cultivate temperament, but the bamboo curtains are rolled up, which smells like sunshine and flowers.

Shou Rao stretched out his hand involuntarily, and picked up the little puppet hanging softly...

Why is there such a paradise in the palace?

"Ugh-"

Hearing the sound, Shou Rao Zheng quickly put the puppet back to its original position and turned around.

He wasn't familiar with the places where people could hide in this building, so he naturally wanted to strike first, but when he saw everything behind him, there was no one there.

...Could it be that he is too weak?

There is only a gauze curtain behind it, and there are wind chimes hanging in the gauze curtain.

Is it the sound of wind chimes being blown by the wind?He thought, just quickly, and again, "Woo—"

He walked over, knowing that he had heard correctly.He stretched out his hand to lift up the white curtains, and what suddenly appeared in front of him was a wide rattan basket.

The rattan basket was deep and wide, stuffed with the highest quality silk, and dolls...

Surrounded by these is a milk baby.

omg...

Shou Rao Zheng murmured silently.

The baby was even smaller than the puppies, with fisted hands and curled toes.

Those little fingers and toes were still pink and had no strength, but this little baby knew it was a beauty's embryo at a glance.The nose is straight, the eyes are large, and the eyelashes are long and curly.He looks so much like that man, these eyebrows, these eyes...

This little prince, Rao Luoxuan's child.

Sensitively aware of the stranger, Nai Waer stared at him unblinkingly, twitched her arms and legs a little bit, as if she was about to cry.

Shou Rao Zheng didn't know how to dissipate the little man's uneasiness, he might still have a way to deal with the thousands of troops, the baby wanted to cry out loud, absurdly, but he didn't even have a thought.He can only stretch out his fingers, and pick up the soft and warm cheeks like rice dumplings...

Before he could take his fingers away, there was a sound of messy footsteps behind him.

Damn it, maybe someone in the imperial army found him sneaking into the prince's pavilion...

He was so absorbed in his own thoughts that he didn't notice any movement.When several white figures came into the corner of his eyes, Shou Raozheng turned around and subconsciously blocked the wicker basket behind him, lest the imperial army want to arrest him but accidentally hurt the baby.

"Catch the assassin! Catch the assassin!"

"Be careful not to accidentally injure His Highness, His Royal Highness's safety comes first!"

"You have been surrounded by the imperial army, if you dare to hurt a single hair of His Royal Highness... sorry, general."

The shouts of the imperial soldiers rose one after another, but when they actually killed him, their voices dropped.

Shou Rao Zheng only felt that he couldn't laugh or cry, he guessed it was Murong Yunshuo's overly loyal guy who wanted all his subordinates to lower their voices and use less bureaucratic accents, wouldn't yelling be alarming?Moreover, Murong Yunshuo, who is famous for protecting the master, even cared about his little master's little ears.

Murong Yunshuo understands the truth that if there are too many people, the assassins will escape more easily.

It seems that the generals of the imperial army surrounded the small building, and only brought two adjutants with them to catch the intruders.

A general of the imperial army and two adjutants pointed at him with three long swords, trying to take him down.

Then, in unison, the jaw dropped. "Are you... guarding the battle?"

Murong Yunshuo looked at him, then at the little prince in the rattan basket, his eyes were filled with disapproval.

Shou Rao Zheng was about to open his mouth to show that he didn't mean to hurt the child...

Suddenly, there was a commotion under the tower - "Your Majesty, please don't go in!"

"Your Majesty, the intruder has not been captured yet, please wait in a safe place... Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

Shou Rao's heart palpitated, he came.

Obviously, he broke into the palace just to catch a glimpse of him, but when it was time to face him, he panicked and lost his mind.

He wanted to see him, but not in this situation, in this capacity.

Would Rao Luoxuan think that he came to hurt the little prince?

Murong Yunshuo looked out of the window, and it was really His Majesty, even though he was injured, he still came to care for his son despite being injured.

The guard Raozheng looked as if his soul had come out of his body, leaving only an empty shell. He rushed forward decisively, and grabbed the arm of the guard Raozheng with one hand, trying to force him to evacuate in the opposite direction.A dead person broke into the palace under the negligence of the imperial army, and still had a face-to-face meeting with the emperor?What a joke.

"Liu Jin, Shi Yu, try to block His Majesty the Emperor. I will escort him down."

Shi Yu, who was stunned by the series of events, nodded roughly with Liu Jin, not knowing what to say.

... That Shou Rao Zheng was so cute, he really didn't make money, and let the general hold him down like this.

When it was too late, Liu Jin and Shi Yu turned their heads around, and the emperor had already arrived.

Their emperor rejected all the support from others. Although his face was pale and gauze was still vaguely visible in his clothes, his aura of calm and majesty became more intense. That kind of majesty made people want to kneel down more than ever. Can't help shaking.

Since Liu Jin was ordered by the general to drag His Majesty's footsteps, she knelt down before she got into a bureaucratic tone.

Seeing this, Shi Yu immediately followed.There was a sound of knees hitting the ground, and two straight figures blocked Rao Luoxuan's way.

"White Army Adjutant Xi Liujin is here to report to His Majesty, thanks to the Emperor's blessing, the intruder has been taken down by the general, and the little prince is safe and sound."

"No, that's right...the imperial army's ineffectiveness caused the intruders to disturb His Highness. Please forgive me."

Shi Yu's tail sound followed tremblingly.

"Go away."

Rao Luoxuan didn't even give them a hand, but just narrowed his eyes and stared at the two figures in front of him.

Murong Yunshuo's back blocked the figure of the intruder. "Murong Yunshuo, stop for me."

Murong Yunshuo had no choice but to pretend he was deaf, he could only stand in the way of people and stop in his tracks.

Xi Liujin's jaw clenched, and he held on, "Your Majesty's dragon body is sick, I beg the imperial army to justify the interrogation of the intruder, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer..."

"Are you going to go or not?" Rao Luoqing clasped his palms lightly, stroking the black hair on his chest, looking down at the two people who were life and death delaying his steps.When he got angry, his voice became softer and softer, more like persuasion. "Is it possible that the emperor needs your permission to come forward to inspect the well-being of his own son?"

Xi Liujin and Shi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, knowing that offending Long Yan is no joke.

Want to check if the little prince is safe?Let me tell you earlier, do their little ministers have a reason to stand in the way?Just let him.

Xi Liujin and Shi Yu hastily got up and backed away, leaving room in front of the rattan basket.

Unexpectedly, Rao Luoxuan's feet moved, but she walked straight, without even looking at the little baby!

"His Majesty!"

Unexpectedly, the emperor would make such a move, Shi Yu yelled in his heart that something was wrong, and strode forward to obstruct it.

But Rao Luoxuan's eyes were piercing, and he only looked at the front, knowing that Shi Yu was about to procrastinate, so he flicked his robe and opened his hand!

He actually pushed Shi Yu away with his own hands.

Liu Jin and Shi Yu were all shocked.

They are soldiers, that is, people who practice martial arts, so of course they don't pay attention to the emperor's weak touch and push.

What is shocking is that there are many meanings behind His Majesty's eagerness to act!

They haven't been with the new emperor for a long time, but they are also familiar with the new emperor's temperament, and they have never seen him do it himself.

Could it be that...the more they tried to cover up, the more they played tricks, allowing the emperor to confirm the identity of the intruder?

Rao Luoxuan went straight and was only three steps away from Murong Yunshuo.

Murong Yunshuo closed his eyes tightly, and tightened his grip on Shou Rao's arm.

Suddenly, he felt a force coming from his arm, he opened his eyes and looked at the person in front of him.

Shou Rao struggled to hold him back, but it was tight, and the black pool he bumped into was full of pleas—don't hand me over, don't let me go back.

Even if the people in front of him didn't say it, he knew that what he was begging must be-take me away.

... what can he do?

"Yun Shuo, take your people and leave. Hand over the intruders to me personally."

Murong Yunshuo was shocked, and immediately turned his head, "Your Majesty! I will never let such a dangerous person be alone with Your Majesty, it's too..."

"You absolutely can't? You said never in front of me, do you want me to re-teach you the usage of this word? The only thing you never do is disobey the emperor's order." Rao Luoxuan stared beautifully, and ran inside His radiance is frightening, a little angry, more excited.It looked thrilling. "I'll just say it once, take your people and leave immediately. If you don't want to do it again, the emperor thinks that you don't need those people, so I will drag them down one by one."

Murong Yunshuo lowered his head and bumped into Shou Rao's eyes, then quickly pulled away to look at Liu Jin and Shi Yu.

He knew that if he didn't withdraw, Liu Jin and Shi Yu couldn't withdraw hastily either.In the end, the first to bear the brunt must be these two people.

Compared to him, Si Raozheng is more aware of the tricks of the "Emperor Seven Sons".

Then, the hand that grabbed his arm was slowly loosened.

Murong Yunshuo almost said the word "wait" to persuade him to stay. Could it be that he really couldn't do something about this person?

When Murong Yunshuo gritted his teeth, he was showing off his strength.

He turned around to face Rao Luoxuan, and knelt down after hitting the ground with both knees. "Your Majesty, repeated obstructions started with my obtuseness. I really don't understand why the person who was executed by His Majesty three years ago has come back to life and is still alive and standing in front of us. Please give me an understanding from Your Majesty."

With Murong Yunshuo kneeling like this, there is no cover between Shou Rao Zheng and Rao Luo Xuan.

They are naked in front of each other.

Shou Rao Zheng Yin hair lightly raised, wanted to look away but was still a step too late, could only be dragged into and swallowed by the black lake that he hadn't seen for several years.

Rao Luoxuan's eyes are like a trap, a conspiracy, and a quagmire.

They just looked at each other across Murong Yunshuo.

Shou Raozheng couldn't describe his mood at the moment, he rushed into the palace hastily just wanting to take a look at him from a distance, he didn't expect and couldn't accept that it would be like this... so naked, so unavoidable.

It's almost like a rape.

He wanted to draw away from his sight, being pulled into those eyes, he almost forgot where he was and what situation he was in, as if everything had become transparent and silent.Even the wind is no longer flowing, and even time and space are frozen together, spinning and collapsing around them.

Knowing that he is gradually being involved and swallowed up, he is even more afraid of turning his eyes away, as soon as he escapes from this crazy cycle, he will immediately collapse and disintegrate, so that there is not even a single bit left.

After a long time, Rao Luoxuan was finally willing to move her lips.

The words were addressed to Murong Yunshuo, but his eyes were fixed on him, refusing to relax.

"He, Shou Rao Zheng, has no intention of harming the emperor and the prince. The emperor assigned him various secret missions a few years ago, so he needs to remain anonymous..."

Inside the building, four pairs of eyes stared straight at Rao Luoxuan in astonishment.

From the beginning to the end, Rao Luozhen only caught Shou Raozheng with his frighteningly bright eyes, as if he was only talking to him.

He uttered the first half of the sentence, and seeing Zheng shook his head slightly, his lips repeated the word silently—don't say it.

Zheng is begging him to stop talking, stop talking, stop now.

The only person he cared about frowned, with half-downcast handsome eyes, begging him not to use such an expression that made him feel unbearably distressed, but he had missed him for countless years.Don't take the two worlds they have worked so hard to separate with lies, and once again, connect them with lies...

He can't do it.

"I ordered Shou Rao to feign death."

He closed his eyes vigorously.

He knows not to fight...but isn't Zheng not clear enough about him?

Didn't Zheng know that it was because of his sad and hurt expression that he couldn't let him go easily?At this moment, how could he just watch this fight disappear before his eyes, licking the wound alone where he couldn't see?

It was the wound he cut, and only he can lick it for Zheng.

But if Ruozheng turned a blind eye to him and responded to him with a clear and cold attitude?Hate him?

he does not know.Maybe he couldn't let go of the fight.

He would hook this man who dared to restrain his mind again and again, but was still as cold as ice, and crush him under him.

Oh my God, as long as he keeps fighting, as long as this person appears in front of him again, no matter what, no matter how many obstacles there are between them, no matter whether he is concerned about him or determined, or indifferent or affectionate, he will never again Let him live well, let him live alone, and enjoy freedom.

This quarrel has made life difficult for both of them in the future—this is the fault of the quarrel.

It's all the fault of the fight, it's caused by the fight.

"If you are satisfied, let me leave."

Murong Yunshuo raised his head, looked back and forth between Shou Rao Zheng and Rao Luo Xuan, but he had no choice but to retreat.

What can he say?What else could he do?

The love and hatred between Shou Rao and His Majesty over the years have been intertwined, weaving and weaving, impenetrable, and there is no room for others to intervene...

The huge net called bondage also caught the two of them, and they couldn't escape or break free, and no one could save one of them.

Only they can pull each other down, and only they can save each other.

"Are you going to hurt my child?"

Unexpectedly, after three years of absence, this was actually the first sentence the man said to him.

Shou Rao's long eyelashes trembled slightly, and he looked away, "...What if I say yes?"

He heard himself being provocative.

He shouldn't have said that, he couldn't control his aggressive mouth.

"Then I can't let you go."

Even though the two haven't seen each other for many years, it turns out that Rao Luoxuan's behavior pattern has already been engraved into his hair and skin.

Shou Rao Zheng took a step back subconsciously, but the man had already captured his wrist.

That hand was so hard but... cold, it was about to hurt him.He could have earned it, but he didn't.

The man was as tall as him, but his face was as pale as snow, and his lips were as red as petals.At close range, he saw the gauze exposed from the open skirt of Rao Luoxuan.This man is still weak, but there is a madness and an extraordinary attachment in his brows...

Those lips were like drops of blood dripping on the snow, so red that it made him flustered, so that he... was not afraid that Rao Luo would hurt him, but was afraid that his continued provocation and duplicity would become a kind of verbal violence and make the man worse. Harm to this already seriously injured person.

"I don't... mean to hurt anyone."

Perhaps he could see that he was flustered, Rao Luo's fingers that were almost trapped in his flesh relaxed, but that was not relief, the man gently stroked the inside of his wrist, as if a kind of comfort.

The sensitivity to the man's fingertips, the terrifying and gentle contrast made him tremble instead.

"Zheng, don't I know you yet? You won't hurt others without my order, let alone a child."

Rao Luoxuan spoke in a tone as if he had never left, and the two hadn't seen each other for just an hour.

He also knew what associations would be aroused by appearing here. It is understandable that the imperial army wanted to arrest him, but... If Rao Luozhen believed him, why bother to ask questions?There was also a trace of helplessness and disappointment in his tone.

Shou Rao struggled for a moment, could it be possible... "That's your own flesh and blood..."

And he, the reason for appearing here is definitely not out of jealousy, nor out of desire for revenge.

To what extent can this man be so cold-blooded beyond the norm?

Caught off guard, Rao Luoxuan moved closer to him, there was almost no gap between the two of them.

Rao Luoxuan's scorching breath, which he hadn't seen for a long time, came to his ears, in great contrast to the cold black hair flowing on his shoulders.

As if whispering, the man spoke in a low and slow voice, "This milk
