Heaven

That night after Qin Yu finished his proposal, Ji Han didn't answer directly, but hoped to give him a few days to think about it.Before leaving, Qin Yu seemed to have something to say, some hesitated to speak, but in the end he just shook his head, asking Ji Han to give him an answer through the dumb servant as soon as possible.

If someone told him when he was in Wei State that he would face such a choice when he returned home, Ji Han would never believe it anyway.

But now, too many accidents have happened.His mother died early, and his father had already remarried, but he refused to recognize him when he saw him, and even imprisoned him in private.Finally, the father and son finally recognized each other, but they suggested that they go away...

Ji Han gave a wry smile, trying to find a way to escape was probably the most ridiculous decision he had ever made in his life.

It's a pity that he didn't know it at this time, and he was about to make another decision that he regretted for the rest of his life.

Ji Han suddenly felt a little tired.The mother who never saw her again in this life, the father who behaved weirdly, and those terrible encounters in Wei State, the betrayal of Wushuang who was once regarded as an elder brother... If I had known this, I would have gone to Chu State to find Jing Xiaoji!

Not bad!

I can still go to Chu State to find Jing Mingrui!Ji Han suddenly found a very feasible way out.Since my father wants to go far away by himself, why not go to Chu State, which has always been on good terms with Jing State!

Ji Han, who had been thinking hard for three whole nights, suddenly realized that he really needed to change his environment completely, and he could give Jing Xiaoan a surprise by the way.He imagined the surprised expression on Jing Mingrui's face when he saw him, and finally found a little joy in life.

Now that he decided to leave, Ji Han decided to bid farewell to Chen Xi, the only thing he had gained from coming back this time - he could be regarded as a bosom friend.

Chen Xi came here the night before, and seeing Ji Han who was a little bit unmotivated, he seemed not in high spirits either, so he sat there relatively silent for a while, then said goodbye and left.

When he arrived today, he saw that Ji Han seemed to be angry again, his eyes were shining brightly, and his heart suddenly jumped.Could it be that he has already made a decision?Thinking of Qin Yu, he really couldn't think of what to do to keep Ji Han at this critical moment.

"You...Are you leaving?" Chen Xi finally couldn't help asking the question in his heart.

"Eh, you can see this?" Ji Han was taken aback.Although I felt sorry for my friend's father leaving when he was seriously ill, but the situation forced him, and my father seemed very anxious... If I was not here, my father would probably feel better, right?He suddenly strengthened his determination to leave.

"That's right, the prime minister has forgiven my mistake and returned my deed of sale to me. I'm planning to go back...to my hometown to find another job." Ji Han laughed.

"Go back to your hometown?" Chen Xi bit his lips, "Actually, you can come to my house, it's just a matter of more people and more pairs of chopsticks..."

Ji Han waved his hand: "What am I going to do at your place? Are you still going to support me as an idler?" How can you trouble your friends with things that even the prime minister's father finds embarrassing?

"I just want to support you!" Chen Xi blurted out.

Ji Han was startled, a little moved by his friendship, and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness. But I still plan to go home first, there are still people waiting for me there!" That was true, he remembered Jing Mingrui, who has been with him for eight years but has always been sonorous, can't help but yearn for him.

Looking at the expression on his face, Chen Xi couldn't help feeling a little sad, is it really hopeless?If... If the plan can be completed earlier, is there still a turning point?

Seeing that he was silent, Ji Han patted him lightly on the shoulder: "As the saying goes, we never meet again in life, maybe we will meet again soon after we part today! I will wait for you to buy me a drink then. !"

"Are you going to leave tomorrow?!" Chen Xi was shocked.

Ji Han nodded: "I'm going to be on the road early tomorrow morning, but luckily you came today, otherwise I would still be thinking about where to find you!"

"Did you plan to say goodbye to me...?" It turned out that he had no place in his heart, so...he suddenly made a secret decision.

"Of course, you are my best friend. If I can't say goodbye to you personally, I will regret it for the rest of my life." Ji Han smiled sincerely.

"Okay, then let's have a few more drinks tonight, in order to wish us an early reunion!" Chen Xi suddenly said proudly.

"Okay! If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

Of course Chen Xi didn't pass out, he only drank until he was [-]% drunk before staggering away and leaving.He has more important things to do tonight.

Ji Han was in his hut, trying to pack his things, but suddenly felt that everything here didn't really belong to him.

He felt sore for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and laughed.

What my father said is right, a man must rely on his own hands to make achievements, even if my father really gave me everything he had, I would not take it!

Ji Han stayed up all night, secretly thinking about his plans after arriving in Chu State.When it was daylight, he heard a sudden movement in the yard.

The mute servant who took care of him went into the house and took out a delicate key to unlock the iron lock on his feet, and then led him for a long time to a remote small door, and took out a heavy bundle and handed it to him.

Father still can't come and see me off?Ji Han regretted not being able to see Qin Yu again, sighed, and stepped into the carriage.

"Where is the son going?"

"Where can you take me?"

"My lord said that wherever the young master goes, the young one must be sent to the ground before he is allowed to come back."

"Then let's go north first, let's go to Chu State!"

The carriage drove slowly all the way, Ji Han felt a little drowsy when he heard the sound of the wheels rolling.

Suddenly, the car stopped.

Ji Han was startled when he heard the coachman outside shouting at the person blocking the way, the voice of this person was so familiar!

He lifted the curtain of the car, and what he saw was Chen Xi in white clothes and mourning!

"You...why are you here?" Ji Han got out of the car, wanting to say something to comfort this friend who was most likely to lose a loved one, but he opened his mouth and asked why he came.Shouldn't he be keeping his filial piety at home at this time?

"He left last night..." Chen Xi's eyes suddenly turned red, "We didn't even have a chance to have a proper talk."

"Life and death depend on destiny, wealth and honor. You...you should just be sad and obedient." Ji Han suddenly remembered his mother. It was a few years later when he got the news of her death, and he didn't even see her for the last time.At that moment, sadness almost swept over the sky, leaving me nowhere to hide...

"Then...then what are your plans now?"

"My father only has one son, so I naturally want to inherit the family business."

"You... Take care. Don't be too sad, and take care of your body."

"You still want to leave?" Chen Xi was surprised.

"Uh... Look, the chariots and horses that the prime minister kindly gave me are still waiting for me..." Ji Han wondered.

"..."

Chen Xi suddenly grabbed Ji Han's hands firmly: "I have something to tell you, can you listen to me before leaving?"

Ji Han suddenly had a premonition that he shouldn't have listened to what he had to say, but facing the red eyes, he could only sigh and listen quietly.

"My real name is not Chen Xi. I didn't mean to lie to you, but because of my identity, I rarely make true friends. So when I met you by chance that night, I used my mother's name on a whim." Last name, please forgive me." Chen Xi said with difficulty.

"It's nothing, the name is just a title, you don't have to take it to heart." Ji Han thought that what he told him was not his father's surname.In fact, it doesn't matter what the name is, as long as the friendship between the two is true is enough.

"But today I must tell you my real name. My real name is Ji Xi, and I am the present prince!"

Ji Han was surprised, was he his uncle's only son?So, Chen Xi, no, Ji Xi is his cousin?Then he said his father just passed away...!

Has even the uncle who loved me the most since childhood passed away?Ji Han suddenly felt a great pain in his heart. He remembered that almost all of the countless good memories in his childhood were related to his "invincible and omnipotent" uncle.

He asked with a trembling voice: "His Majesty Emperor Jing...he...did he die last night?"

Ji Xi nodded sadly.

Ji Han suddenly saw the shadow of his uncle from his slightly sad and handsome face.No wonder I felt kind and familiar with this person the first time I saw him...

"Father, the Dragon Yu Bintian, I am about to inherit the throne. I am waiting for you here today, so that I will not leave any regrets." Before Ji Han could respond, Ji Xi said what was in his heart in one breath , "I said that I wanted to raise you that day. I didn't just talk casually. I really wanted you to go back to the palace with me and be with you day and night. I...I like you very much!"

"!" Ji Han was stunned for a moment.He felt that the hazy tulle between the two had finally been completely lifted, and he seemed to have expected this answer.That's right, Ji Xi's eyes have seen that kind of deep longing for herself more than once, but this is not as annoying as before.

"You go back with me, okay? I don't want to live alone in that cold palace, without even a confidant!" Ji Xi excitedly grabbed Ji Han's hands, with a pleading look on his face.

Is it the palace?Ji Han thought of the place where he spent half of his childhood.How many years have you been there?

He suddenly missed those mother's favorite flowers and all kinds of novel animals in the Jing Palace, the tall desks filled with memorials by his uncle, the black and shiny bows and arrows hanging on the wall, and the crooked bow and arrows that he used to wear. The corridor that has been hidden and hidden several times...

Want to go back and have a look?The days when I occasionally stayed in the palace can be said to be the happiest period of my life.At this moment, Ji Han's heart is full of memories. He thinks of his mother and uncle, and nods in confusion.It's good to have a look...

"You agreed?!" Ji Xi was overjoyed, and hugged the person in front of her tightly.

It was only at this time that Ji Han realized what he had agreed to. The other party's request seemed to be not just for him to return to the palace for a short stay, but for himself... Forget it, he looked at Ji Xi's face that looked more and more like his uncle, Maybe you can try to accept this feeling.

He just learned the news of the death of the person who loved him the most besides his mother, and although he never mentioned it to anyone, he was indeed hit hard by his father's indifference and alienation. To the place that once gave him the most warmth - Jinghuang Palace.

Ji Xi is a good friend and maybe could make a good lover too?At least his feelings for him are true and reliable, and the blood relationship connects the two of them... With some last longing for family affection, Ji Han finally looked into the other's eyes and nodded solemnly.

At this moment, the ecstasy in Ji Xi's heart can hardly be expressed in words, so that for a moment he was a little confused about the role he should play in this story, but simply felt a strong surprise.He hugged the person in his arms tightly, feeling his heart beat a little faster.

Ji Han took a slight step back helplessly, thinking of a key question: "You let me enter the palace, then what identity should I take?"

"I've thought about this. The royal nephews from all over the country are being called to study in the capital. One of them suddenly disappeared on the road. I sent someone to investigate. It may be that there was a landslide, and something unexpected happened. You just blame him How about learning your name in the palace?" Ji Xi said his long-planned plan.

Ji Han suddenly doubted his decision and didn't know whether it was right or wrong. What if he still couldn't accept his feelings later?He looked at Ji Xi's sincere eyes, and hesitated a little. Wouldn't that have greatly hurt the feelings of his good friend who had just lost his dear one.

"Aren't you willing? In fact, I can let you restore your original name in two years, but you may have to use the royal surname all the time..." Ji Xi looked at the man whose expression was changing, and his voice gradually weakened. down.

When I was young, my uncle was scolded by his mother, and he also looked so cautious. The father and son are actually very similar!

Ji Han finally showed a smile: "The person you mentioned, what's his name?"

Knowing that this meant that the other party had already made a decision, Ji Xi exclaimed excitedly: "Ji Kongqing! His name is Ji Kongqing!"

Ji Han became Ji Kongqing.

He had some complaints about the newly enthroned emperor letting him not live with other royal children who went to Beijing to study, but set up a separate courtyard.But thinking that living here is very close to the place where my uncle usually handles official business——Weiyang Palace——I can even see the bright lights of Weiyang Palace, so I settled down with peace of mind.

Ji Kongqing lingers in familiar places every day, recalling the good times spent with his relatives, his mood is sometimes bright and sometimes sad.

Ji Xi seems to be very busy, he has to deal with piles of official duties every day.Fortunately, when he was the prince, he also acted as an agent of the government for a period of time when Emperor Jing was seriously ill, so he was not in a hurry.However, he still seems to be willing to spare a little time every day to accompany Ji Kongqing and make him happy with some gadgets.

Ji Kongqing didn't care whether the things he sent were interesting or not, and was simply moved by his thoughtfulness.He started to review some military books, hoping that he could also help Ji Xi in the future.

The time in the palace gradually became more pleasant, except that he was still a little unaccustomed to Ji Xi's intimate behavior from time to time, Ji Kongqing lived very contentedly.

The only thing he was worried about was that Jing Mingrui didn't know why there was no news suddenly.On the night of Mid-Autumn Festival, he turned down all Ji Xi's invitations, and sat alone in the courtyard, waiting for Jing Mingrui's response.But I didn't get any news!

He became a little anxious, maybe he should ask Ji Xi to find out the news about Chu State?

At this time, he never expected that one night after more than half a month, when he finally couldn't help asking Ji Xi for help, he would hear the truth like that! ! !
