I am His Majesty's favorite

Lin Heng was concerned about the safety of his sweetheart, so the last two steps were chasing after him.

But when his figure floated outside the Changming Hall, the expected bloody scene did not appear at all.

There is actually a person standing at the gate of the hall, with bright starry eyes and a smile, and a bright and clean posture that cannot be concealed in a gorgeous costume.

It was Mu Chen.

"Your Highness, are you alright?" Lin Heng approached quickly, looked him up and down for a full circle, and then breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that he was safe and sound. "Why stand in the wind?"

"The fireworks started before Haishi, I listened to the sound and came out to watch the excitement."

Mu Chen smiled slightly, and frowned suddenly when his eyes fell on the blood stains on Lin Heng's lapel.

"Are you injured?!"

"No, that's not me..."

Talking in a hurry, Lin Heng saw two extra black shadows on one side, and immediately blocked Mu Chen with his body.

"Don't move yet! Your Highness."

Unexpectedly, the one who was the prince didn't make a fuss, and just gently hugged him back. "It's just a dead person, what's so scary."

Hearing this calm voice, the Monarch was dumbfounded for a while, and let go of his movements after a while: "Have you seen it all?"

The body of the man in black was lying next to the gate of the Changming Palace, next to the chief secret guard of the Nanchan Palace.

"See Your Majesty." Song Qian knelt down.

"My subordinate heard that there was movement in the Jiqing Palace, so he patrolled all the way here, and happened to see a thief who wanted to harm His Highness the Crown Prince. This subordinate was in a hurry and failed to keep alive, so please punish him."

Anyway, he came here with the determination to die, even if he kept his mouth alive, he couldn't find any valuable clues.

Lin Heng lowered his eyes slightly: "You have meritorious service in protecting the lord, and I will give you a black iron sword as a reward."

"From tomorrow onwards, you will only be in charge of the safety of the Changming Hall. If there is any change, report it to Gu as soon as possible, and step down."

"Subordinates obey."

After finishing speaking, Song Qian bowed, tapped his toes, and disappeared into the shadows of trees in an instant.

Looking at the dark guard who was going away, Mu Chen sighed in an inaudible way.

He and Lin Heng were silent for a long time in the courtyard, until the fireworks of the banquet were extinguished, and the surroundings fell into the intense darkness after intense brightness, only then did a deep voice sound. "Feel sorry."

"Feel sorry?"

"Soiled the new clothes you gave me."

"Pretentious." Mu Chen couldn't help laughing when he heard this. "Is clothes more important than life?"

"But tonight, I almost failed to protect you." Lin Heng pursed his lips, his handsome face was full of sadness. "In case you are implicated because of me, what will happen to me, what will I do in the future."

"It's said to be just in case. The prince is very powerful. How can he be hurt by bad people so easily."

The way Mu Chen's lips curled up was very touching, with a bit of slyness and complacency, which made Lin Heng feel even more uncomfortable.

"alright."

As if he couldn't get used to his frowning expression, His Royal Highness stretched out his hand, intending to coax him into the room before talking.

Unexpectedly, Lin Heng, who was always docile, stood still at this moment, so that Mu Chi, who was unsteady, fell into his arms instead.

"I met an assassin again."

A statement with a sense of vulnerability made His Royal Highness the anger that was slightly annoyed instantly dissipated.

He has always said that what he wants is a personal servant with joy, anger, sorrow and joy, not the invulnerable Nan Dan monarch.But when Lin Heng showed his helplessness, apart from being relieved, he was full of unobstructed distress.

People who have never experienced assassination will not understand what it feels like to be on tenterhooks all the time.

It's like a person falling into an endless abyss, and there will be a steel knife stabbing out of nowhere.I don't know which one beside me is hiding poison in a smile, waiting for a certain opportunity to hit the door of life in one fell swoop.

Mu Chen didn't know what Lin Heng's reaction was after being assassinated in the past, so he took it lightly?Or is it as sad as it is today?

He could only follow his heart, caressing his taller body with his palms, silently bearing the feeling of dependence on the side of his neck.

"Sometimes I'm really scared."

Lin Heng buried his face in the neck of his sweetheart, his muffled voice sounded like a dream.

"Whoever is not greedy for life, I also want to live."

"Every time I was assassinated, I would dream of my mother. She stood under the locust tree and smiled at me, saying, Heng'er, you must be well and live well with the one you love."

"Your Highness, I have never been as panicked as I was just now. You are someone I love so deeply, how could you be innocently implicated by me and die in Nan Chan's life."

This is probably the first time Mu Chi has heard Lin Heng speak out about his love.

You are someone I love so much.

There are no twists and turns, no roundabout temptations.

It was only in the middle of the night on New Year's Eve that the long-hidden facts were stated before the smoke cleared.

I love you dearly.

His Highness the Crown Prince's bright eyes were lowered, and he smiled and covered his slightly salty and wet face, and dropped a comforting kiss.

"Isn't it a dream this time?"

"Of course not." Lin Heng sniffed the tip of his nose, and the movement of standing upright was a little silly for no reason. "I don't want to wait until I don't have a chance to tell you again, Ah Chen, as long as you are willing, I..."

"I do not want to."

Mu Chen nodded.

"Receive your thoughts of sending me back home as soon as possible. Since the prince dares to come, he will not be afraid of wolves and dogs."

"Besides, is there someone who shows your heart like you? The cold wind is blowing, the lamp is dark, and I didn't even take me to set off the fireworks. The devil is willing to listen to your blind promises here."

Lin Heng choked for a while at this choking, and immediately reacted.

That arrogant sweetheart is responding to her love for him.

In fact, Lin Heng had already prepared the things for Mu Chen to confess his love to.

The fireworks at the state banquet are quite satisfactory, so they are naturally not as interesting as those played by ordinary people.

Two kicks, throwing squibs, three whips, no matter whether there are any styles in Huaibei, Lin Heng has prepared a copy.

Mu Chi became very playful, and he used the entire backyard of Changming Palace as a training ground.Dazzling sparks swirled into the air, making bursts of crisp and pleasant cracking sounds.

Lin Heng was in charge of the supply, and the little ancestor stretched out his hand after blowing up one, and he handed over the new firecracker.

"Hey, why haven't I seen this kind of thing? How do you play it?" Mu Ling asked a question as he twirled a bamboo tube with an unfamiliar shape.

"I made it myself. It's called Butterfly Bamboo."

Lin Heng explained, then ignited the fuse and threw it away, and the bamboo tube exploded after a brief tumbling.The lifted bamboo slices really stretched like butterfly wings, dancing along the impact of the gunpowder.

"Does it look good?"

"It looks good." Mu Zhen nodded, thought for a while and added: "I mean you."

His majesty the emperor, who has seen the world, is so red-eyed.

"Ah Chen..."

"I am here."

Mu Chen smiled, approached and stroked the broken hair on his temples with his fingers that smelled of gunpowder.

"I know what you want to ask, listen to me first, okay?"

"When I was very young, I didn't like fireworks. I always thought that beauty was beautiful, but after a while, it would be annihilated and turned into ashes, which was not long enough."

"I hadn't met you at that time, so I didn't believe that there would be someone in this world who would make me willing to give up my reason and chase you all the way from Huaibei to Nanchang."

"Before I came, my father tried every means to stop me, and even beat me up with a vine dragon whip. I told him that being born in the royal family is doomed to a bad life. If there is no me in Huaibei, there are other sons who can inherit his throne .But Nan Chan, I absolutely can’t live without you.”

"So Lin Heng, you have to understand that you are no different from me. You are equally precious and worthy of being tenderly cherished."

"If one day we can't hold this country with our strength, we will end up withered and fallen. I hope that I can still be by your side at that time."

Mu Chen seems to be like this all the time, not talking about admiration and affection, but only talking about long-term lovesickness.

His tenderness always touches people's hearts inadvertently, especially when Lin Heng reveals his fragility.

Depend and be depended on.

It turned out that they had been going in both directions.

"Your Highness..."

Lin Heng murmured, and a smile welled up in his steamy eyes for a while.

"I want to kiss you."

Not 'may I kiss you? ', instead I thought.

Less solicitation, more domineering.

"I should have understood earlier that there is no need to hide myself in front of you. The 23-year-old Lin Heng is fortunate to meet his beloved and spend the rest of his life together."

Mu Chen also smiled, and nodded slightly, deepening the first kiss of mutual love.

Lips and teeth intertwined, hugging tightly without gaps.

On this New Year's Eve, the love chapter belonging to the two men officially kicked off.
