"...Your Majesty, Little General Chen."

Jin Chen originally wanted to say something, but when he heard Xiao Lizi's voice, he stopped talking.

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, there are soldiers over there who want to ask General Chen if there are any arrangements for today's dinner, and this servant will come over and ask for instructions."

Xiao Lizi stood on the east side of the carriage, waiting for instructions respectfully.

supper.

Jin Chen didn't understand this aspect, his character set was an emperor waiting for food from others, and he didn't have any requirements for it.What's more, the soldier wanted to ask Chen Xiuzhu by name, so the question had nothing to do with him, so he didn't say anything, just looked at Chen Xiuzhu quietly.

"For dinner, Xiao Li...uh, father-in-law Xiao Li, let them organize a few people to go hunting in the jungle, and eat whatever they hunt tonight."

"Hey! Our family understands. General Chen can just call our family Xiao Lizi as usual, and our family will go spread the word."

Xiao Lizi responded, turned and left.

However, his unintentional "Your Majesty" just now made Chen Xiuzhu restrained again.

The one sitting in front of him is the emperor of the Red Dragon Kingdom, the person who dominates the fate of the entire Red Dragon Kingdom.

Chen Xiuzhu was clearly aware of this.

He looked at Jin Chen, and moved his lips hesitantly under the expectant gaze.

"His Majesty……"

Hearing the somewhat respectful voice, Jin Chen was taken aback for a moment. After realizing what Chen Xiuzhu had shouted, all the anticipation in his eyes faded, and the smile on his mouth gradually disappeared. In front of Chen Xiuzhu, he became serious.

"If General Zhongwu doesn't want to be my friend, let's put it bluntly, I'm not the kind of person who will make things difficult for others."

Hearing these words in a detached way, Chen Xiuzhu felt a sharp pain in his heart.

[no!I don't think so!I really don't think so! ]

He frantically denied it in his heart, but he couldn't say a word on his face.

And the glimmer of hope in Jin Chen's heart also disappeared in his silence.

"General Zhongwu, let's go down first, I'm tired, I want to rest alone. By the way..."

He thought of something, and continued to speak under Chen Xiuzhu's slightly bright eyes.

"Qi Shu, I hope General Zhongwu will help me hide it."

"……Yes."

Chen Xiuzhu responded bitterly, and seeing that Jin Chen had really closed his eyes, as if he didn't want to say more, he secretly smiled bitterly, got up and left the carriage.

Why would he not want to be friends with Jin Chen?When he saw Jin Chen for the first time, he decided in his heart that he must become Jin Chen's friend.

Even if, even if he had such a dream later, he just felt that he was a little tricky because he saw Jin Chen's appearance in women's clothing, and he never thought of alienating Jin Chen.

But how could Jin Chen be the emperor?

Chen Xiuzhu pursed the corners of his mouth, feeling extremely empty in his heart.

His mind was already against ethics, and now it was even more outrageous because of the difference in their identities.If he was discovered one day, how would he deal with himself?

Perhaps, it is the best choice to stay away from Jin Chen and return to his original position from now on.

Looking at the direction of the carriage, Chen Xiuzhu felt such pain in his heart for the first time.

But, isn't Jin Chen in the carriage suffering?

——Yes, he is indeed not in pain at all ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

Hearing the sound of Chen Xiuzhu stepping out of the carriage and making sure that he had left completely, Jin Chen opened his eyes, which had already changed from the previous coldness to the usual peace.

If you look carefully, there is still a slight smile hidden in those eyes.

It can be said that Chen Xiuzhu's reaction was all within Jin Chen's expectation.

After all, this is a feudal dynasty, a king, as long as he is not stupid, then he is noble and not to be offended in the hearts of any common people. It is precisely for this reason that no one dares to let him and himself go. In the same position - even if they are the same age, the same generation.

This is why some people always say that "the heights are too cold".

Standing at a place that is too high alone, one often has to endure great loneliness. When Chen Xiuzhu first knew Jin Chen's identity, the reason why he was able to quickly call out the name "Ruochen" was because Jin Chen The second reason is that he still has a sense of unreality in his heart.

This sense of unreality prevented him from equating the words Jin Chen and the emperor at once, that is to say, in his heart, 'Ruochen' and 'Emperor of the Chilong Kingdom' were still two. a relatively independent individual.

But Xiao Lizi's words pulled Chen Xiuzhu out of that sense of unreality, and the images of these two people in his mind completely overlapped with the phrase 'Your Majesty'.

Chen Xiuzhu began to truly realize the relationship between Jin Chen and himself as a monarch and minister, and at the same time began to feel a little panic and at a loss, so after struggling, he called out the respectful title of "Your Majesty" that showed a sense of distance.

Naturally, Jin Chen didn't want Chen Xiuzhu to treat him as a king, but now Chen Xiuzhu unconsciously opened up a hierarchy between the two of them, so Jin Chen followed the trend, gave him a hierarchy, and put everything in his place. Come on the bright side and cut off his evasive psychology.

From now on, if Chen Xiuzhu becomes content with himself, Jin Chen will not force it in this life.

If Chen Xiuzhu was not willing to be content with the distance between the two of them, and was unwilling to be just Jin Chen's courtier, Jin Chen would just put the obstacles that he would encounter in the future before his eyes in advance—since he would have to face and accept it sooner or later, then he would have to face it sooner or later. From Jin Chen's point of view, there is no need to delay these matters until the last moment.

Of course, the appearance of Xiao Lizi in the middle was not intentionally arranged by Jin Chen. It can only be said to be a coincidence. Even if Xiao Lizi didn't show up halfway this time, there will always be a next time.This is a normal development, and Jin Chen doesn't think it's a big deal, but Xiao Lizi's performance this time can be called a divine assist in a sense.

Jin Chen secretly sighed.

"Your Majesty, can the servant come in?"

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, Jin Chen was just thinking about Xiao Lizi, and the next second he heard Xiao Lizi's voice, which sounded outside the carriage, he quickly adjusted his mood, and deliberately remained silent for two or three seconds, and then suppressed his voice He replied "in".

"The slave came in."

Xiao Lizi lifted the curtain, leaned over and walked into the carriage.

"Why are you alone, where is Gao Ping?"

Jin Chen glanced at him, his face tensed and his tone low.

"Mr. Gao said he wanted to take a look around. Maybe it's because he has been sitting in the carriage for so many days, so Mr. Gao is not used to it?"

Xiao Lizi slowly approached the car wall while answering Jin Chen's question.

"Ah."

Jin Chen answered one word lightly, expressing that he knew.

Feeling the low air pressure emanating from Jin Chen's body, Xiao Lizi wanted to cry but had no tears.

He had settled Mr. Gao just now, and since Mr. Gao said he wanted to wander around alone, he was going to come back to check on the situation.

Who would have thought that as soon as he approached the carriage, Xiao Lizi saw Chen Xiuzhu sitting on the horseback, and seeing Chen Xiuzhu's expression drooping at the corners of his mouth, Xiao Lizi felt bad in his heart—don't let this little general Chen make His Majesty unhappy , was kicked out by His Majesty.

Little Lizi knew about His Majesty's temper. In most cases, His Majesty was a very gentle person, but if someone really made His Majesty angry by accident, Little Lizi couldn't imagine the consequences.

In order to confirm his guess, Xiao Li took a few steps forward. He wanted to say hello to General Chen Xiao, but the other party's low pressure of "I'm in a bad mood right now, please don't bother me" dispelled Xiao Li. He thought about it, and decided to go back to the carriage to check on His Majesty's situation.

——Now, Xiao Lizi feels that he can figure it out with his toes. It must be General Chen Xiao who has angered His Majesty.

Xiao Lizi decided not to touch this bad luck.

He stood quietly against the wall, adhering to the principle of 'make the sound of breathing as light as possible', trying not to make His Majesty unhappy when he was in a bad mood .

Fortunately, His Majesty is not a person who would vent his anger on others. It didn't take long for Xiao Lizi to find that His Majesty's face returned to the gentleness of the past.

Xiao Lizi knew that at this time he could ask His Majesty about General Chen, and it happened that General Chen was also outside the carriage, so he could take this opportunity to hear what he should do.

Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi spoke after deliberating.

"Your Majesty, Little General Chen...?"

"General Zhongwu is worthy of a word of loyalty. He voluntarily put me in a position that is unattainable. He dared not exceed the rules. In this world, even beggars on the street could be friends with him, but I am gone. this qualification."

His Majesty's tone was slightly sarcastic, but his eyes were a little lonely, but Xiao Lizi's heart sank when he heard it.

His Majesty has had no friends since he was a child, and he could only play with them, a group of eunuchs and maids, and when he ascended the throne, he couldn't even play with eunuchs and maids.

Xiao Lizi still remembered that when His Majesty learned from Prime Minister Zuo that he could go out of the palace for a private visit, His Majesty said "I am confused" with a smile.

Xiao Lizi even remembered the smile that hung on the corner of his mouth for several days after His Majesty became friends with General Chen Xiao under a pseudonym that day.

General Chen can be regarded as His Majesty's first friend, and Xiao Lizi can feel that His Majesty really values ​​General Chen as a friend.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this importance that His Majesty did not want to hide his identity from General Chen Xiao. In His Majesty's mind, such an act could probably be called deception, right?

Xiao Lizi thought with some distress, when His Majesty decided to tell General Chen the truth, did he ever believe that General Chen would not care about the difference in status between the two?The behavior of General Chen Xiao now must make His Majesty feel very sad, right?

Thinking of this, Xiao Lizi couldn't help but comfort him.
