"A portrait of my mother?" Qi Xiao kissed Tang Ling, "Why are you so absorbed in your thoughts just now? Did I scare you?"

Tang Ling leaned on Qi Xiao's shoulder, glanced at the ink-stained drawing paper, and sighed softly, not knowing where to start.

Qi Xiao frowned and asked, "Did mother make things difficult for you?"

"Is it difficult?" Tang Ling smiled softly, looked up at Qi Xiao, "That's not the case.

Just posed a problem for me. "

Qi Xiao held Tang Ling's hand with a little force: "My mother didn't say anything that made you embarrassed or uncomfortable, did she? Although she was strict with me, she doted on me very much. I told her that day When she mentioned you, she didn't object at all..."

Tang Ling pressed her finger on Qi Xiao's lips, stopping his wild thoughts: "What are you in a hurry for, let me finish my sentence."

"Isn't it?"

"No."

Tang Ling shook her head, "Your Majesty Lin said that I hope you are safe and happy.

I think I am your joy, so she made a request to me, let me keep you safe. "

"Huh? What do you mean?" Qi Xiao was happy to hear Tang Ling say that he was his joy, and couldn't help laughing, but that request made him very confused.

"Your Majesty Lin wants you to return to Fuzhou.

Don't be involved in the court, and don't get involved in the disputes of the Three Kingdoms. "

Qi Xiao sighed deeply: "You still said it wasn't embarrassing you?"

"I can understand nobleman Lin's heart," Tang Ling said, stroking his cheek, "I love you, Qi Xiao, so I also hope that you will be safe and sound."

Mrs. Lin was right, Tang Ling could do it, but he dared not agree.

"Going back to Yuanjing is the path I chose. It was planned and arranged by me. My mother knows all about it, but I still have to make such a request to you... I'm sorry, if I had known earlier, I wouldn't have taken you to see her. "

"What nonsense.

Your mother is willing to entrust her son to me, knowing how much this means to me?Mrs. Lin gave me a problem, but she didn't mean to make things difficult for me. "

When Tang Ling looked into Lady Lin's eyes, he could hardly find any expression. Her eyebrows and eyes were beautiful, but now there was only desolation and hopelessness like stagnant water.

Only when Qi Xiao is mentioned can there be a warm glow.

She is a poor woman, all she wants in her life is nothing, only Qi Xiao can't let her go.

"You... really think so?"

Tang Ling leaned forward to kiss Qi Xiao, and when Mrs. Lin asked him to let go of Qi Xiao, he felt a deep pain in his heart for no reason. Deep, at that moment he knew he couldn't let go.

Qi Xiao closed his eyes and felt Tang Ling's clear greed and demands. This seemed to be the first time that Tang Ling was not accommodating gently, not comforting gently, but trying hard to possess, like what he had been doing to him all the time. like that.

"Qi Xiao, I don't want to run away anymore, I want you to be by my side forever."

Qi Xiao laughed: "Isn't this what we said a long time ago?"

Tang Ling was not amused by Qi Xiao, but lowered her head and said softly, "I'm sorry, I've been evading and perfunctory, and what I promised you was sincere, but I never knew how to do it.

I always think, no matter what the future holds, I am willing to be greedy for a while.

But today, Mrs. Lin's words made me wake up suddenly, I want you too, Qi Xiao, I want you for the rest of my life. "

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling with smiles all over his eyes: "Okay.

I promise you for the rest of your life, not perfunctory, nor greedy for a moment, you have to believe that I can do it. "

"How can it be done?" Tang Ling sighed silently in Qi Xiao's arms, the words "safety, joy and happiness" were as difficult as heaven for him and Qi Xiao.

"Go back to Fuzhou and be an idle prince for the rest of your life, that's my mother's expectation.

how about you?How would you like to do it? "

Tang Ling shook her head: "I don't know.

I don't want to be self-righteous for you, I want to be a force to support and help you, to do what you want to do. "

Lady Lin could think that the best ending for Qi Xiao would be to spend the rest of his life idle, alone, with nothing to worry about, and nothing to accomplish in the end.

But Qi Xiao is only 17 years old, he is intelligent and quick-witted, his martial arts is good, and his ambition and talent are not inferior to other brothers, how can he be reconciled?

If Qi Xiao is willing, Tang Ling can imagine him taking the crown prince, and even ascending to the highest place.

But if that was the case, Tang Ling would not and could not have a place by Qi Xiao's side.

Qi Xiao once said that he would go back to Dazhou with Tang Ling, but Tang Ling just took it as a joke.

It might be possible to go to Dazhou, but let Qi Xiao give up his status as a prince and betray Dachen, that is something Tang Ling can't agree to no matter what. For Tang Ling's sake, don't care about the throne, follow Tang Ling's side, and be his guard?Or the lover you keep by your side?How could Tang Ling wrong him like this!How can the love that locks the eagle as the house sparrow in the cage last forever?

Qi Xiao raised Tang Ling's chin, looked at him, and said, "I want to investigate Liu Bai's case, and I also want to bring my mother back to Fuzhou to live in peace.

If I hadn't met you and fallen in love with you, I would have gone back and pretended to be a fool for the rest of my life. "

Tang Ling's hand on Qi Xiao's neck trembled slightly, he didn't notice it himself, but Qi Xiao immediately noticed it, raised his hand to cover the back of his hand, and pinched it in his own.

"But I can't go back, you and I know it well, even my mother knows it.

Your Majesty will not easily let me go back to Fuzhou if you hand over the case of the Ministry of Household Affairs and Luo Yu to me.

And Tiance Camp... Tang Ling, do you want me to fight? "

Tang Ling pursed her lips, he... hoped, right?He looked up at Qi Xiao, and he could imagine him standing majestically in the main hall of the court in a brocade robe, jade belt and pearl crown.

Just thinking about it can make Tang Ling fall in love with him. He thinks of Qi Xiao like that, riding the wind for nine days and soaring with wings.

Qi Xiao looked at Tang Ling's eyes, even though he didn't know what he was thinking of, but the love in his eyes was very clear, which made Qi Xiao very happy, and couldn't help but want to do other things, and put all the problems behind him.

Qi Xiao kissed Tang Ling, and suddenly said seriously: "Tang Ling, you may not know it, but you are a light that suddenly appeared in my life, allowing me to see the direction when I was lost, because of you, I will do it. , can make different choices.”

"...Me?" Tang Ling didn't understand.

He thought that he was Qi Xiao's catastrophe and would only implicate him.

Qi Xiao loves him so much, that's why he's so blind?

"My mother taught me patience, taught me how to live, my master taught me to be at ease, taught me martial arts and military skills, and wanted me to be successful, but he didn't have time to tell me why I should live. What use are those things to a person who is doomed to be mediocre? .

Until I met you, I seemed to want to understand something. "

Qi Xiao brushed Tang Ling's eyebrows with his fingers, seeing his own reflection in his eyes, and smiled softly: "If I were just a arrogant, arrogant and arrogant prince, you would definitely not look at me like this, Love me."

"you are not."

"I'm not, but I've been pretending for a long time, and even I am blurred. If I pretend for a lifetime, is there any difference? Because of you, I don't want to pretend for a lifetime, just be a useless person."

When he first arrived in the Yuan capital, Qi Xiao had the opportunity to hide his strength and bide his time, to hide himself, to spend his days in peace and quiet, to meet noble Lin, and to find a way to return to Fuzhou.

Qi Xiao said slowly, "You were born as the son of Marquis Xun'an, and you could have spent your life in peace, but since you were born weak and had to go to the battlefield, you didn't feel timid at all.

You were held hostage, shackled, humiliated, assassinated, sick and injured, but you never showed fear or flinched along the way. Tang Ling, you shoulder the responsibility of your family and country On your shoulders, it's not as it should be, nor is it because you are Tang Ling, and Tang Ling can afford it and can do it.

I, Qi Xiao, can afford it too, and I can do it too. "

Bai Liu's life and death are all about loyalty, and Lu Fang is determined to make contributions.

Qi Xiao admires Bai Liu, and has the same temperament as Lu Fang. He has the righteousness of a hero and the heart of serving the country, but he has no use for it.

He, Qi Xiao, is the ninth son of Emperor Chen, the King of Chu, and the successor of Tian Yujian, so he can afford it and can do it.

Why back off?Why escape?Why are you willing to be cowardly and mediocre?

Tang Ling looked at Qi Xiao and didn't know what to say for a moment. He never thought that Qi Xiao saw him like this in his heart. He knew that Qi Xiao liked him. Knowing that Tang Ling who made Qi Xiao fall in love deeply also included the identity and position between them.

So Qi Xiao never asked about Tang Ling's affairs, not because he was considerate, but because he liked his perseverance and his family and country.

"Tang Ling, I won't go back to Fuzhou, I want to follow the trend, I'm not sure if I can win, let alone win, but I want to try.

After reading the case file of Dali Temple, I have this idea. "

Those messes should have been cleaned up long ago.

If others can't do it, then Qi Xiao will do it.

Since His Majesty has given the opportunity, he doesn't have to shirk it.

"Ah."

Tang Ling nodded.

This he knows.

It is easy to follow the trend, but one does not know how dangerous the process will be. If the fight cannot be won, there will only be one ending.

Tang Ling gritted her teeth silently, Qi Xiao will definitely win.

Qi Xiao supported Tang Ling's cheek with his hand, and lightly touched his biting cheek with his fingers, and smiled softly: "I'll be fine."

"……Um."

"As for the chaos in the Three Kingdoms, it may not be as dangerous as my mother thought.

Now that Chen Zhou is reconciling, although you and I have different positions, our goals are the same.

If we meet on the battlefield in the future, I will stand by your side, as I promised. "

Tang Ling sighed slightly: "It's not convenient for me to talk about the peace negotiation, but you will hear about it soon."

Qi Xiao knew what Tang Ling was lamenting, and everyone knew about His Majesty's ambition to rule the world. It is not difficult to establish a temporary peace between Chen and Zhou, but it is not easy to achieve long-term peace.

"With my current status, I can't speak to His Majesty," Qi Xiao smiled, gently stroking Tang Ling's lips with his fingertips, "But I won't make you wait too long."

Tang Ling stared at Qi Xiao in a daze. He was too surprised by what he said tonight. He never dared to think about it. It turned out that Qi Xiao had been thinking about it all the time and never mentioned it because no matter how much he thought about these things, he couldn't be thoughtful. Now he said Just to reassure Tang Ling.
