broken night

For more than half a month, every night in the dead of night, when Ye Xian undressed and went to bed, Shen Yingchi would come uninvited and force him to go to half of the bed. Chasing people away, he had to compromise again and again, but Shen Yingchi didn't do anything out of the ordinary, at most he kissed him, and then hugged him to sleep together in the quilt, and only got up and left at dawn.

Ambiguity and forbearance, originally an old lover who has been lingering and lingering for countless times, but deliberately keeps a close distance, Ye Xian finds it very strange.The initial vigilance quickly disappeared without a trace. Knowing that it was impossible, he still indulged himself in this gentle embrace. The body that had once tasted and tasted would inevitably generate undue heat. Yexian smiled wryly and shook his head. He really shouldn't do it again. With that person acting recklessly, he is not a stone, how can he not feel at all?The determination and persistence he had held on to was like ants breaking down a long embankment, almost unable to stop the torrent of desire. Under Shen Yingchi's gentle teasing with ulterior motives, he didn't know how long he could last.

"Brother Yexian, the book is almost torn by you."

Ruixue's slender catkins covered his hand, and rescued the book of war that was almost crumbled. Yexian knew that he had lost his composure, cleared his throat, and said, "I'm thinking about...some troublesome things."

Ruixue said "Oh" and waited for the next article, but Yexian picked up the teacup and didn't intend to go into details. She turned to Chiyue, and found that the always naughty and active Second Highness was also preoccupied, with her hands resting on her chin, Facing the snow scene outside the window in a daze.

Could it be... that rumor is true?Ruixue casually plucked the strings a few times, staring straight at Yexian with her beautiful eyes, and suddenly asked, "Could it be that brother Yexian is really a treasure in a golden house, that's why he's so helpless?"

Yexian almost spit out the tea in his mouth, coughed a few times, and Shen Yingchi's figure and appearance emerged in his mind, God, what kind of "Jiao" is he?

With a smile, Ruixue took out a silk handkerchief to wipe off the water stains on his lips, Chi Yue finally came back to her senses, and interjected: "Brother Yexian, the queen mother seems to be looking for beauties again, take care of yourself."

Did you hear something?Yexian frowned, thinking that he would be cut off from that person no matter what. There were so many people in the court that they couldn't hide any trouble from the queen mother. The relationship between the two of them was not innocent. sleep, who would believe it?

Chi Yue absent-mindedly fiddled with the plum blossoms in the vase, and said... What's the good of being so stubborn?Look at you, you have become so indecisive because of a man, how can you have the courage to sweep thousands of troops in war? "

Yexian felt a little uneasy, knocked on his head, and asked, "Little Chiyue, what kind of gift is in that box, and it taught you to stare at it in a daze every night before going to sleep?"

Chi Yue was choked all of a sudden, her cheeks flushed, and she bluffed: "I didn't! If you don't believe me, I'll go sleep with you tonight!"

"Excuse me." Ye Xian refused without even thinking about it. This kid's sleepiness is so different that if he meets Shen Yingchi, God knows how big a storm it will be.

Ruixue pondered for a moment, sighed quietly, and said: "If General Shen is born a woman, then it will be a perfect match."

Ye Xian turned half of his face dark, dripping with cold sweat, and said in a low voice, "Rui Xue, it's good for a woman to be like you." Shen Yingchi turned into a woman's face, and he didn't even dare to think about it.

Ruixue pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Beauty is in the eye of a beholder. In short, he snatched our Ye Xian, and let him move here. It's cheap for him to taste the cold weather in Li Country."

"Yeah!" Chi Yue took over the conversation and teased, "It's not what it used to be. There are beauties everywhere in Brother Yexian's palace. Who doesn't want to devote himself to it? No wonder he runs so hard every day. He must be afraid that you will be killed by others." Charmed."

Yexian's forehead began to throb. He looked helplessly at the two treasures and said, "I'm afraid of you. It's okay to say these words in front of me. If the queen mother hears it, you will have to kneel overnight." ancestral hall."

"Ah." Ruixue put down the piano, and her soft voice almost made the bones go numb: "You are too gentle, so that person keeps biting you."

"That's right, we need to bring out the ruthlessness of the king of a country and give him some power." Chi Yue slapped the table and said, "Come here, drag me out with eighty sticks! He must run faster than a rabbit." quick."

"Chiyue, who did you learn this from?" Ye Xian glanced over with a smile that was not a smile, Chi Yue's aura flew out of the sky, shrank to the side knowingly, Ye Xian didn't bother to ask, stood up, With a calm expression, he said: "Tonight, I will explain clearly to him."

Two pairs of eyes looked at him worriedly, Ruixue stepped forward, took his hand lightly, and said, "Brother Yexian, you must not wrong yourself."

Although you have returned to us, your heart can no longer be taken back from him.

Ye Xian fondled her long hair, looked at her charming eyebrows, and sighed softly: "Originally, I thought that when he died, all the past would disappear. Maybe in a few years, I would be able to let go of him." I will set up a queen and marry a few concubines to fulfill the responsibilities of the royal family like the previous king, but..."

His voice was a bit bitter, and his eyes showed a little blankness: "He actually came back to life and came to me. I don't know how to treat him. I regret that I didn't kill them all at that time, and I am a little glad that he survived the catastrophe. Ruixue, Is it weird that I'm like this?"

"No...General Shen has already paid the price, and His Majesty's hatred has dissipated with the news of his death." Ruixue had tears in her eyes, "Although I can't bear to see you fall in love with such a person, I don't want you to force yourself to immerse yourself in it." In hatred, because hating someone...is very painful!"

This kind of pain that can't be craved for love, she has never forgotten it, and she doesn't want Yexian to experience that kind of heartbreak again, and the latter stares at her blankly, as if he wants to say something, but he hesitates to speak, the snow outside the window It fell again, covering the plum blossoms that had just bloomed on the branches, making the chilly fragrance even more ethereal and hard to find.

After having dinner with the queen mother, Ye Xian remembered the man who would stay in his dormitory at night, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy. He drank an extra bowl of nourishing soup to dispel the cold and nourish the stomach, Ye Xian naturally wouldn't refuse, finished the soup obediently, and hurried back to the bedroom.

Bathed and changed under the service of the maid, there was a faint fragrance of powder in the air, Ye Xian thought it was from the maid, and did not suspect him, waved the maid away, and yawned.

With such a heavy snow, he won't come, right?Unable to tell whether it was luck or disappointment, Ye Xian walked around the screen and stopped abruptly.

On the imperial couch, lay a stunning woman with a tender lotus face and a red body, her bright autumn eyes were somewhat shy, and the translucent gauze could barely cover her naked body. The woman stretched out her hand towards him and said softly Called: "Your Majesty."

Before Yexian had time to be surprised, a hot current rushed down his abdomen, his limbs and bones were scorching like a fire, and he was so hot that he screamed inwardly, it must be that the bowl of soup had aphrodisiacs added, the woman on the bed , You don’t even need to think about who sent it.

"Your Majesty..." The woman's slender body was already kneeling at his feet, her slender fingers pulled away his belt, Ye Xian grabbed her hand, pulled her up, her trembling fingers slid across her soft face, her eyes were full of confusion , the woman was ashamed and happy, and she snuggled into his arms, leading his hands towards her chest, Yexian felt her head swelled, and the desires that had been accumulated for more than a year were surging like a tide On the first floor, under the control of the drug, the body could hardly control itself. Yexian gritted his teeth and tried to stay awake. His breathing was already scalding hot, his throat was dried out, and it hurt even to speak.

Concentrating his scattered eyes, he looked at the woman in his arms. She had a gorgeous face, plump skin, and she was submissive in her beauty. He was obviously ready to dedicate himself to him. However, this face was too strange, and the skin was close The temperature is too strange!

She was just a tool used by the empress dowager to make the emperor end a ridiculous affair. He could not obey the empress dowager's mercy and ruin the innocence of this strange woman!

Ye Xian pushed her away violently, put on a robe indiscriminately, stumbled out of the bedroom, and shouted: "Prepare my horse!"

In the middle of the snowy night, the emperor of Li Guo broke through the encirclement of the guards like crazy, rushed out of the palace gate on his horse, and disappeared into the night.

The cold wind rolled the snowflakes across his face like a knife, but he couldn't get rid of his impetuous body. Ye Xian whipped his horse desperately and galloped on the streets of the capital.

In the middle of the night, there were no pedestrians on the street, and snow was everywhere. It fell on the face, turned into water droplets, and soaked the skirt of the clothes.

He didn't know where he was going, and he didn't know what was waiting for him ahead. His frantic brain had lost the function of thinking, and only an instinct drove him to gallop wildly in the snowy night.

At this moment, he was so crazy that no one could stop him. At this moment, he was also fragile and defenseless, like a baby bird that had just hatched, thinking of nothing, wanting nothing, without Shen Yingchi, without the palace, there is only one in the world. He was left alone, indulging himself willfully and arrogantly.

The snow that floated between his lips relieved the thirst in his throat. Yexian reined in the horse, let go of the rein, and stretched his trembling hands down his belly. His body was like a tight bow, and he clenched his teeth tightly to block the eagerness. The name that escaped from the throat.

The flying snow scattered into his clothes, and he could no longer feel the coolness, the heat from his whole body was concentrated towards that place, his pale face, his watery lips were extremely rosy from the torture of his teeth.

"Nightstring!"

The sound of horseshoes accompanied by anxious shouts broke through this layer of ice and snow barrier. Ye Xian followed the prestige, and Shen Ying galloped up to him on the horse. Wrap tightly.

The thoughts that hadn't completely drifted away were grabbed back fiercely, and the warmth lingering around his body made him dizzy. He stretched out his arms around Shen Yingchi's neck, shivering in his arms.

The rare helplessness and fragility made Shen Yingchi feel extremely distressed, and took him to the annex he bought in the capital, and then carefully carried him back to the bedroom and put him on the bed.

Ye Xian's body was astonishingly hot, entangled him like a snake, and put both hands into his clothes, stroking him clumsily. Xian asked in a rough voice, "You didn't freeze your head, did you?"

Yexian's moist black eyes were full of lust, he wriggled his body to get out of the quilt, and began to tear his clothes.Shen Yingchi sighed, stretched out his hand to help him take off his clothes, and inadvertently touched the towering hard heat between his crotch, Shen Yingchi gasped and asked in surprise: "You have been drugged?"

Ye Xian bit her lip and stared at him angrily, as if she was about to pounce on him and bite him at any time, Shen Ying took a few strokes to strip him naked, and covered his desire with her big hand.

Ye Xian half-closed his eyes, and his body rubbed unbearably hot under him, but Shen Yingchi stopped and asked, "Ye Xian, tell me, do you want me, or do you want a woman to put out the fire for you?"

Yexian's eyes were full of misty moisture, his face was full of grievances and he was about to cry, his arms hooked his shoulders, urging him silently, Shen Yingchi lowered his head and nibbled his earlobe, deliberately prolonging the torture time , asked: "Say, do you want me or a woman?"

Ye Xian let out a low moan, and replied in an almost inaudible voice: "I want... you."

Shen Yingchi took off his clothes at the fastest speed in his life, covered him tightly, and said in a low voice, "Don't want to sleep tonight."

His answer was a moan like a sob, and a hard bite on the shoulder.

She has been abstinent for more than a year, and at this moment, facing each other naked, it is tantamount to dry wood and fire, and it is out of control. Shen Ying holds her lips and hands together, caressing the slender and well-proportioned body under her body, the moist and hot kiss burns to the most secret place, the body As if melting from there, Yexian's slender fingers clasped his shoulders tightly, a broken and sensational moan came out from his lips, he raised his waist and rubbed against him actively, with infinite charm in the corner of his eyes, only for him to show.

Sinking down, she entered him slowly, her greedy mouth obediently held the tip of her desire, and shrank to attract him to take a further step. With a low growl, Shen Yingchi suddenly rushed into the suffocating and fiery place of ecstasy. String's taut fingers brushed across his shoulders, leaving several red marks, making the passionate man even wilder, with delicate tenderness in his eager movements, while encroaching on him, he did not forget to patiently tease, The long-lost love affair, the skill is very precocious, Yexian moaned in the excruciating pain and joy, bloomed with his violent impact, and unreservedly delivered all the enthusiasm...

"So, you drank a bowl of tonic soup at the queen mother's place, and you were driven to lust?"

After the cloud and rain passed, Shen Yingchi calmed down, Shen Yingchi asked the reason with great interest, Ye Xian lay limp in his arms, and nodded helplessly.

Shen Yingchi kneaded his fingers, and continued to ask: "Then you went back to the dormitory, and there was a naked beauty who came up to seduce you?"

"Yeah." Ye Xian half closed his eyes, and responded lazily. Shen Yingchi smiled like a cat stealing a fish, and pushed him into the bed, asking, "Why?"

"What why?" Yexian pretended to be confused, but his face began to congeal.

Shen Yingchi propped her body up to cover him, lifted his chin with one hand, her eyes flashed with determination to fight to the end, and asked, "Why didn't you hug her, and ran out in such a heavy snow? "

"I don't want to implicate innocent people." Ye Xian turned his face away and said softly: "Although I knew that as the king of a country, there are many things beyond my control, but if you push too hard, I will be out of breath .”

With a pityful kiss fell down heavily, and cut off the unspoken words, Shen Yingchi bit his lips and swollen his brows, and said: "Fortunately, I caught you, otherwise, depending on your temperament, you will still be able to escape." I don't know how to hurt myself."

Yexian's whole body went limp from the kiss, and her tone also softened. With her hot cheek pressed against his shoulder, she said in a low voice, "Shen Yingchi, if you can forget everything like I did back then, you should How nice."

"If that's the case, I should be in trouble." Shen Yingchi hugged him, his voice was so gentle that he was tired, "Forget about you, what is left in my life? What is it worth if I tried my best to survive?" ?”

Ye Xian was a little moved, looked up at him, and said, "But, what can you save after all your hard work? It's just a dewy marriage in such an out-of-control night. We can't last long, and you know I'm not will put you in the most important position..."

Shen Yingchi tapped his lips lightly, and shook her head with a wry smile: "You are always lukewarm to me, and you open your mouth to say unfeeling things without leaving any room for others, and I will be afraid... ..."

Yexian's eyes widened in surprise, he couldn't believe that this mighty and tough man would have such a hesitant and embarrassed look, under the shadow of the shaking candle, he could clearly see Shen Ying holding a handsome His face turned dark red, his eyes were a little panicked, and he looked at him with a guilty conscience.

The man who has always been domineering enough to give him a headache, acted so awkwardly and coquettishly, which made him at a loss what to do. Yexian laughed in a muffled voice, which made the man dissatisfied. He pinched his cheeks left and right, and said angrily: Laugh and I will eat you!"

Behind the ferocity of the bluff, there was clearly a lack of confidence, Yexian pushed his hand away, ignoring the repeated warnings in his heart, and said: "I don't understand why, there is always nothing I can do about you."

As soon as the words came out, Shen Yingchi was so proud that he was about to go to heaven, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the ears, and he had a foolish face of ecstasy, Ye Xian couldn't help feeling warm in his chest, smoothed the other's messy black hair, and sighed softly: "Yingji, you really shouldn't..."

Shouldn't what?He shouldn't have been cheated into staying together for three years, shouldn't have disturbed the love and hate in his heart, shouldn't stir up waves after the farewell, making him upset and helpless, the tree wants to be quiet, but the wind doesn't stop.

He couldn't complain, so why didn't he get stuck in it?Knowing that he shouldn't be so entangled, but he let himself be soft-hearted again and again, even though there are thousands of ways to cut off the entanglement, he still moves closer and closer like a demon, until there is no room for escape, let him go again Nor can the relationship between the two be taken lightly.

Shen Yingchi looked at him with gentle eyes, and whispered: "Ye Xian, don't lie to yourself anymore, you can't let me go in your heart, if I didn't pester you with shamelessness, you would still be on your own. !"

While talking, the man became complacent again, and said: "I know you hate me for deceiving you at the beginning, but this is the end, why don't I just pay you the rest of my life and let you enjoy it, how about it?"

After all, he rubbed his lower body obscenely, Ye Xian lowered his face and said, "Is this the only thing in your head?"

"A good night is rare, are you willing to let it go to waste?" Shen Yingchi rolled over and pressed him down, her hands began to move around again, arousing the tide of emotion, and the hoarse and deep voice kept bewitching in his ears: "Ye Xian, Do you still want it?"

Ye Xian was panting heavily after being caressed by him, and his sensitive body quickly responded, he gave a soft "um" and kissed Shen Yingchi's lips proactively.

Before dawn, there is no need to think about anything, just indulge this night of fun.

The young emperor didn't return all night, and the palace was full of noise. Yue Chenglin was called into the palace urgently. After seeing the chaos in the bedroom, he had a clue in his mind.

On a snowy winter night, the surroundings are silvery white, and the east has already seen light. Before dawn, the emperor must be found, otherwise he will not know how to end when the queen mother is alarmed.

How could you think of using this method to win back the emperor's heart?It will only backfire.He is very clear about Yexian's temper. Beneath his gentle appearance is a stubborn character like a stone. It will wear off slowly, and maybe there will be a day when water drips through stone. However, abrupt methods will only cause unexpected backlash.

Galloping on the empty street, Yue Chenglin frowned, his face full of anxiety——he heard about Shen Yingchi sneaking into the imperial city at night, and he also found out where that guy stayed It's just that the emperor opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and the courtiers naturally don't want to open their mouths to interfere. This is good, the empress dowager's crooked attack must have let the guy pick up the cheap ones-he couldn't imagine the empress dowager knowing What kind of face will it be when all this is happening.

His head was in a mess, and he couldn't find any other description except for the word "Nie Yuan", just like Ye Xian and Shen Yingchi, just like himself and...him.I don't know what that person who is thousands of miles away is doing, is he still worried about himself, or has he already forgotten that half-truth and half-fake romance, and sang softly with his arms around the beauty?

Shaking his head and forgetting those trivial matters, he found Shen Yingchi's annex, waved his hand to stop the palace car at the alley, dismounted himself and walked to the door, the hand that was about to knock the knocker stopped again, and he He looked up at the courtyard wall, performed lightness kung fu, turned over and jumped over.

The lamp was already lit in the room, and while the shadow of the candle was shaking, Ye Xian pushed the pillow to get up, and said in a low voice, "I have to go, I can't miss the morning."

With a healthy arm across his waist, Shen Yingchi stuck to his back and said lazily with a smile: "I'll take you back, I'm afraid you won't be able to ride a horse now."

Yexian blushed, not only because he couldn't ride a horse, but now he would tremble all over when he got up and put on clothes, not to mention his waist was sore and his legs were weak, then... that place was also burning, his body that hadn't been contaminated by love for a long time, endured a night of joy After the love, he was so tired that he was about to fall apart. Embarrassed and angry, he shook off Shen Yingchi's hand and said, "You...can't you be more restrained!?"

Shen Yingchi chuckled, got up and took out a stack of clothes, and put them on for him one by one. The clean and refreshing scent of sweet-scented osmanthus entered her nose. Ye Xian let out a "huh", looked at him in surprise, and said, "This yes……"

Shen Yingchi combed his long messy hair neatly, tied it up with a pearl crown, and jokingly said: "I don't recognize it? These are the clothes you wore before. I brought some with me. I will be lonely for a long night and talk to comfort lovesickness." Neatly, at the end of the day, he tied a hollowed-out double butterfly pei on his belt, and said softly: "Tell me, how can I be restrained?"

Yexian's ears were hot, and the soft cloth wrapped his body tightly, which made him suddenly feel the ambiguous feeling of being trapped in the arms of the other party. No matter how much he avoided or ignored him, he couldn't completely forget it. This man's love was as passionate as fire. His resistance has been exhausted, and the desire of the body may be suppressed, but the emptiness of the soul is no longer willing to be forgotten, and is clamoring for it to be filled.

Caressing his cheek with warm fingers, Shen Yingchi said softly: "Yexian, you should understand that I will not give up. Are you going to spend ten or twenty years like this, or obediently recognize the reality and return to the come in my arms?"

Ye Xian turned his face away, and said in a deep voice, "You put it lightly, without an heir, how will the throne be passed on?"

"Did you forget that there is Chiyue?" Shen Yingchi snorted disdainfully, and said, "That little brat who loves to cry may not be reliable. I heard that Prince Fu's son is five years old. He is smart and smart, so he will be the heir apparent. Just right?"

Yexian frowned, his face became more and more ugly, and asked: "You have already made up your mind?"

Seeing that the two of them were about to quarrel, there was a soft knock on the door, followed by a respectful male voice: "Your Majesty, it's almost time, I dare you to ask Your Majesty to return to the palace immediately."

Ye Xian was taken aback, and pushed open the door, only to see Yue Chenglin covered in snowflakes, who had been standing there for an unknown how long, Shen Yingchi straightened his face, and stared at him displeasedly, both old and new grudges surged up, The more you look at it, the more unpleasant it becomes.

Seeing that it was getting late, Ye Xian left Shen Yingchi, who was upset, and said, "Go back to the palace first, and discuss this matter later."

After the morning court, Ye Xian went to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, and found that her mother's back was sinking like water, her eyes were full of accusations, Rui Xue, who was standing beside her, kept winking at him, Ye Xian gave a low sigh, knowing in her heart: what should come will always come.

Sure enough, the Empress Dowager asked straight to the point: "Where did the emperor stay last night?"

Ye Xian lowered his head and said lightly, "The old man's residence."

"But Shen Yingchi?"

Yexian nodded, and the queen mother asked: "What is the relationship between you and him?"

Yexian looked ashamed, and said, "The queen mother will ask such a question, but she actually understands it in her heart?"

"Okay, okay." The Queen Mother was trembling with anger, and asked again: "Who was below when you were doing that mediocre thing?"

Yexian lowered his eyes, hiding his hurt look, gritted his teeth, and said, "It's my son."

"Damn!" The queen mother slapped him on the face, Ruixue exclaimed, and came up to stop him: "My queen mother, don't hurt the relationship between mother and child because of an outsider!"

"You all know!? But you've been hiding it from Aijia!" The queen mother pushed Ruixue away and scolded angrily, "Look at him! This is our good emperor of Li! He played with it! So shameless and self-willed to degenerate! What face do you have to sit in court!? What face do you have to be worshiped by officials and admired by the people!?"

"Empress Dowager!" Rui Xue knelt down on her knees and begged, "Your Majesty is not so miserable, Empress Dowager, please listen to Rui Xue..."

"Even you want to speak for him!?" The empress dowager's bloodshot eyes showed a bit of ferocity, she stopped Ruixue, and said, "Ye Xian, go to the imperial temple to reflect on Ai's family, and kneel down to you Until you realize your mistake!"

Ye Xian turned around and walked out of the hall without making a sound. After stepping over the threshold, he turned his head and said calmly: "Shen Yingchi...he has never played tricks on my son."

The low-pitched but firm words were like falling snowflakes, which were not enough to calm the Queen Mother's anger. Yexian only left this sentence, and went to the Imperial Temple without looking back, the hall that enshrines the tablets of the emperors of the Li Kingdom The place was deserted and quiet, surrounded by cigarettes, and there were cold accusations everywhere, Yexian knelt in the middle of the hall, his shoulders were still stretched straight, half of his plain white cheeks were swollen, he was in a state of embarrassment, but his expression was still stubborn and almost determined.

He knelt inside for three days without water or rice. He worried the servants in the palace and frightened the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. They wrote to the Empress Dowager one after another, begging her to take the emperor's body as the most important thing and revoke the punishment as soon as possible. She acted like a baby on her mother's knee, begging for mercy for her brother.

Ruixue took advantage of the opportunity and slipped into the Imperial Temple, quietly persuading Ye Xian: "Brother Ye Xian, admit your mistake to the Queen Mother, you are mother and son after all, why are you so tense?"

Yexian shook his head and said, "My temper, don't you understand?"

The empress dowager was so merciless that he had already forced him to the point where he couldn't bear to feel ashamed. This time, he didn't intend to hold on any longer. He could do whatever she wanted him to do. In such a dilemma, maybe it's really better to go back.

With tears in Ruixue's eyes, she looked at Yexian's pale face, her midnight-like dark eyes lost their spirit and became dull, her chapped thin lips were bloodless, and her hair was messy. At this moment, this young and handsome man seemed to have faded The exhausted phoenix, ashen and haggard, wasting her life like a sacrifice. She bit her lower lip and asked in a low voice: "Brother Yexian, is he... worthy of you?"

Yexian returned her a faint smile, without saying a word, Ruixue staggered out of the hall, tears streaming down her face.

His knees were already so stiff that he lost consciousness, no matter how soft the futon was, he couldn't relieve the pain from the cold, Yexian couldn't feel the passage of time, the surrounding was silent, the light from the candles dimmed his eyes, and the pain in his body seemed indifferent , far excluded from perception, the heart is empty, joy and sorrow are indistinct, no pain, no joy, no love, no hate, what is left of him?A weak walking dead, what else is there to worry about?

"Nightstring..."

In a trance, he seemed to hear a low sigh, and a feather-soft touch fell on his face. Yexian raised his head and recognized the person coming from the haze. He smiled faintly, fleeting like ripples on the water.

Shen Yingchi hugged him cautiously, as if afraid of breaking him, kissed his forehead with warm lips, and said in a hoarse voice: "I'm late, Yexian."

The salty water dripped on his lips, Yexian blinked, and poked his trembling fingers towards the other's face, whispering, "Are you... crying?"

The domineering and heroic man gradually hugged him tightly, tears wet Yexian's cheeks, he looked at him in disbelief, his lips parted, but he couldn't make any sound.

"I just hate that I can't suffer for you." Shen Yingchi sat on the ground, hugged Yexian on his lap, took out a skin pouch and brought it to his lips, ordering: "Drink it."

"What?" Yexian's voice was broken and hoarse, and he could smell the faint fragrance of frankincense and rice.

Shen Yingchi supported his shoulder with one hand, and said, "Rice porridge made from goat's milk."

Enduring the pain like a needle prick in his throat, Ye Xian barely swallowed a few mouthfuls of porridge, his stomach churned, he pushed away the skin bag, and said, "I... want to vomit."

"Don't vomit!" Shen Ying held his chest and abdomen smoothly, and said, "It's normal for you to feel nausea after you haven't eaten for too long, hold it back!"

Ye Xian took a few deep breaths, suppressed the feeling of nausea, and was fed a few more mouthfuls of porridge. He regained his energy and asked, "Why are you here?"

"If I don't come again, are you going to spoil yourself to death?" Shen Yingchi glared at him, with a fierce expression, but extremely gentle movements.

Yexian chuckled, relaxed his body and leaned against him, and sighed softly: "Yingchi, you always make things difficult for me."

Shen Yingchi stared at him deeply, and said, "I'm not a gentleman in the first place."

Deep tiredness welled up, eyelids kept fighting, Ye Xian forced himself to hold his mind, grabbed Shen Yingchi's lapel, and asked, "What did you mix in the porridge!?"

"Powder for sleeping well." Shen Yingchi replied without changing expression, covering his eyelids with one hand, and said, "You should take a good rest."

"Bastard... bastard..." Ye Xian's voice was like a gossamer, struggling again and again, but still unable to overcome the bouts of drowsiness, she soon fell asleep in the man's arms, Shen Yingchi adjusted a comfortable position for him, stretched out her hand Rubbing his knees, even in the dream, Yexian still had lingering worries on his brows, his pale cheeks looked lifeless, it made people feel distressed.

"If it wasn't for fear that you would hate me, I really wanted to steal you away like this." Shen Yingchi murmured to herself, the concealed palace door was suddenly pushed open, and the Empress Dowager stood at the door, looking at him with mixed emotions .

The atmosphere was extremely embarrassing for a moment, and even a rough-skinned and thick-skinned person like Shen Yingchi couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. He put down Yexian, stood up slowly, and saluted: "Shen Yingchi sees the Queen Mother."

The Empress Dowager's face was tense, her voice was as cold as ice and snow: "The ancestral hall is a forbidden place in the palace, no outsiders can enter without permission, why did General Shen come here?"

Shen Yingchi lowered her head and said, "Ms. Shen is guilty, please punish the Queen Mother."

"General Shen is serious." The Queen Mother sneered, and said: "General Shen is an important minister of the heavenly court, he cannot be injured or moved, even His Majesty Yexian cannot ignore the friendship between the two countries."

An insurmountable abyss was opened between the words, Shen Yingchi sighed, and said, "Why did the Queen Mother say that? Shen came here only to care about Yexian, and has no other intentions."

The Empress Dowager's face turned blue, and she said: "In this case, Ye Xian is not in good health, so it's inconvenient to greet you, General Shen, please come back."

Shen Yingchi was stunned, and decided to give in first. He walked two steps, and said worriedly: "He can't be punished anymore, his knees will be frostbitten."

The Empress Dowager's face froze, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she said in a deep voice: "It's Li's domestic affairs, General Shen is inconvenient to comment."

Shen Yingchi frowned, and said: "Queen Mother, forgive me, Shen has died once, and the grievances between the two countries have long been ignored. I live only for him. If there is something wrong with him , I swear I will do everything in my power to take him away and never give him back to you again."

Yexian woke up on his couch, dripping with cold sweat. He suddenly turned over and sat up, only to feel that the bones all over his body were aching, and the dizziness of exhaustion made him almost fall off the bed. At the beginning, he exclaimed in surprise: "Brother Yexian! You finally woke up!"

Did he sleep long?Still dizzy, Ye Xian held his forehead and asked, "This is... what's going on?"

Chi Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead carefully, and replied: "You have been in a coma for three days, kept running a fever and talking nonsense, and scared us to death."

"Say... nonsense?" Ye Xian was startled, and hurriedly asked, "Did the queen hear that?"

"That's natural! You called that person's name several times." Chi Yue rolled his eyes at him, and said, "Anyway, she was already very angry with you, so these few words are enough."

Yexian leaned against the pillow, whispering, "After all... let her down..."

"The queen mother will not be mad at you for the rest of your life." Chi Yue took the medicine bowl brought by the maid, fed him medicine, and said with a relaxed face, "A disobedient son is better than a dead son. .”

"You said... why is the emperor so stubborn? What's so good about that man?"

The queen mother sat in front of the candlelight for half the night, sighing, the makeup covered the tears, but it couldn't hide the deep regret and helplessness in her eyes, all kinds of melancholy, it was difficult to sleep at night, and the stubbornness and coldness of the day were all gone. Just a worried mother.

Rui Xue cut a lantern flower and remained silent. The Queen Mother stared at her beautiful face and sighed: "You can say whatever you want, there is no need to worry."

Rui Xue bit her lips, and said in a clear voice: "Madam Queen Mother, Your Majesty broke with General Shen at the time to regain the lands of the Li Kingdom. Now that he has defended his homeland, does he have to break with the Queen Mother in order to restore General Shen?"

The Empress Dowager was startled, and said quietly: "But...the two men, and Ye Xian was let by him...how can the Ai family explain to the late emperor?"

Ruixue lowered her head and said: "The matter has come to this point, Your Majesty has decided to be General Shen. As for... who goes up and who goes down, it's just a private matter between the two of them, and it doesn't damage morality. What does it have to do with outsiders? Besides, His Majesty was defeated and captured back then , although General Shen did it for his own personal reasons, he didn't hurt his life after all, otherwise, wouldn't we have to go to the ancestral hall to remember His Majesty today?"

The queen mother was a little moved by what she said, but when she thought of Shen Yingchi's rebellious appearance, the anger in her heart couldn't be calmed down, and the mother and son were together again.
