Tick, tick...
The old-fashioned wall clock on the wall creaked, and the setting sun streamed into the room. It was late winter, but Rong Chengyu suddenly felt an unspeakable coldness.
Qi Yan saw his eyes dimmed, and finally asked in a low voice: "Then who are you?"
He really knew...
The long-standing conjectures became reality, and the weight in Qi Yan's heart became tighter and tighter.Rong Chengyu should have suspected his identity a long time ago, otherwise, when he heard his words, his first reaction was not surprise, but a heavy feeling of grief.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Qi Yan has the courage to reveal the whole truth.
"I am..." As the words came to his lips, he was afraid that his answer would be too absurd and Rong Chengyu would not believe it, so he asked him, "In your guess, who do you think I am?"
"You?" Rong Chengyu laughed a few times in a low voice, this smile was mixed with too much helplessness and pain, "I don't know, really, Qi Yan, you... no, I don't know if your name is that. You There are too many mysteries on my body, so complicated that I can't figure it out at all."
He put his hands on his knees, his head was lowered between his arms, Qi Yan couldn't see his expression.
"You know poetry and songs, and you know how to ride a horse and play the piano, and you are more mature and sophisticated in handling things... You are not at all like the 'Qi Yan' who married me at that time. But I rescued you from the sea with my own hands. Yes, I can't think of any reason why you would be someone else..."
"You started to doubt me when you played the piano in the manor, didn't you?"
Thinking about it carefully, it is true that Rong Chengyu's attitude towards many details has been somewhat different since that incident.For example, when the backbone of the personnel department resigned collectively, he completely believed that he could help Rongxi solve the problem.
"Actually, as early as when you woke up from the hospital, I should have noticed that your behavior was different. But at that time the doctor told me that you had sequelae after jumping into the sea, so I believed it."
But at the beginning, he was attracted by Qi Yan's various strange behaviors, and even deeply fascinated by his intelligence and wisdom.It was the completely new Qi Yan that made Rong Chengyu rekindle his interest in this "wife", and then fell into his charm.
Qi Yan pursed her lips, all the abnormalities could be traced.The first person he met when he came to this world was Rong Chengyu. He thought that if Rong Chengyu had agreed to divorce back then, then they would have nothing to do with each other.But Rong Chengyu fell in love with him...
Suddenly, he was embraced by a man, who buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "But no matter who you are, I will always love you!"
No wonder Rong Chengyu often said "I love you" to him recently. In fact, his uneasiness was hidden under these loving words.
At this moment, Qi Yan suddenly couldn't bear it anymore, why tell him the truth, isn't it good for the two of them to live like this forever?
His eyes drooped, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing a few photos on the table to the ground.What came into his line of sight happened to be the picture of the funeral tomb.
There was a burst of clarity in my mind.No, he can't!
Qi Yan pressed against his chest suddenly, a kind of determination that had never been seen flashed in her eyes.
"Chengyu, I know you love me, but the more this is the case, the more I can't hide it from you."
Qi Yan paused for a few seconds, and finally said word by word: "I am indeed not the Qi Yan who married you back then."
"I... am a person who traveled from another time and space."
Another gust of wind blew gently, bringing the coolness of the evening.
Rong Chengyu stared at Qi Yan for a long time, he wanted to say "Your joke is not funny", but he couldn't speak when he touched the serious face of the other party.
He knew that Qi Yan would not lie to him, but such a truth...how could he believe it?
Rong Chengyu's shock was clearly written on his face, Qi Yan didn't blame him, no one would believe this absurd fact, but it did happen.
"Chengyu, I know you think this is a fantasy, but I'm really not from your time."
"So, who are you?"
Rong Chengyu has thought about thousands of Qi Yan's real identities, even as Xie Qiu said, he may have plastic surgery to get close to him, or use other bizarre methods, but soul travel is the most absurd He was the first to rule out the possibility of scriptures.
"I am the third emperor of Dasui, Jingning Emperor Qi Yan."
At this moment, Qi Yan regained her former lofty honor.
Rong Chengyu felt that the world was crazy, "You...you are the emperor?"
"That's right." Qi Yan stood up, and he stood with his hands behind his back, completely in the posture of a superior.
"It sounds unbelievable, but I... I am indeed the third successor of the Dasui Dynasty. I went to the mausoleum to pay homage to Xie Rong. Unexpectedly, a thunderstorm fell from the sky. When I woke up, I found that I had possessed In this body."
Rong Chengyu grasped the key point sensitively, "You mean, after waking up from the hospital, Qi Yan became you?"
"Yeah." Qi Yan looked at him sideways, with a complicated expression, "You know what happened next, my soul is in this body, I can't go back to Dasui, I can only live with the identity of 'Qi Yan' survive in this world."
It sounds like... Qi Yan's various strange behaviors, including the inherent nobility, as well as the elegant skills of playing the piano, riding a horse, and reciting poems, all have perfect explanations.
"But which dynasty is Dasui? I've never heard of it!"
"I don't know either. When I came to this world, I looked through the books, but I couldn't find any historical records about Da Sui."
Rong Chengyu blurted out, "Could it be that all this is just something you imagined, it's an assumption..."
"No!" Qi Yan said decisively: "I didn't fabricate this out of thin air, Xie Rong's tomb is the best evidence!"
Xie Rong?
The owner of General Ningshan's tomb!
Rong Chengyu immediately asked: "Who is Xie Rong? What is your relationship with him?"
In an instant, he could feel the sadness in Qi Yan's body.
"Xie Rong...he is my personal hussar general."
It's definitely not that simple!
Rong Chengyu stood up and walked in front of Qi Yan, holding his shoulders tightly, "Tell me, what secret is hidden in the general's tomb?"
"secret……?"
Qi Yan looked into his eyes, then gently pushed him away and walked to the table.He picked up a photo on the table, "Don't you suspect that all this is my fantasy? I can prove it to you, it is true."
"Lend me your phone."
Qi Yan took Rong Chengyu's cell phone and made a call, "Fang Ming, please buy some brushes and rice paper for me at the stationery store downstairs when you come back later, um, just buy whatever you want."
"You are..."
Qi Yan stuffed the phone back into his hand, "Later, I will prove to you that everything I said is true."
Fang Ming was quick with his hands and feet. He packed three lunch boxes and brought a large bag of pen, ink and rice paper along the way.
Knowing that the atmosphere at the scene was not right, he quickly slipped out of the room under the pretext of going out for a walk after he finished picking up the boxed lunch.
Only Rong Chengyu and Qi Yan were left in the room.
Both of them were silent, Qi Yan spread the rice paper on the table, picked up the brush and dipped it in ink, and drew on the paper.
Rong Chengyu silently watched him outline a figure on the paper, and as Qi Yan kept writing, the figure gradually became clearer.
It was an ancient man with long hair hanging down his shoulders. Judging from his clothes, he should be a man, and he should be a handsome man.The man was sitting under the tree playing the piano, and wrote a poem on the left: "Zi's Qing Yang, Yang Qi's Yan also."
Rong Chengyu's eyes widened suddenly, "This poem..." Isn't this the one they saw at the Jiangnan restaurant?
After finishing the last stroke, Qi Yan slowly put down the brush in her hand.He raised his eyes to look at Rong Chengyu, and said softly: "Zi's clearness, Yang Qi's face is also. This poem was written on this painting by Xie Rong at the beginning."
Rong Chengyu didn't understand why he said that at first, but when his eyes fell on the photo next to him, he immediately understood!
"The prototype of this funerary object?"
The residual painting in the photo on the table has been eroded by the years to only a few outlines, and the poem next to it is even more incomplete.But as long as this photo is placed next to Qi Yan's painting for comparison, anyone will believe that their paintings have the same content.
"There has been news from the museum that the painting unearthed from the tomb will probably have a restoration picture tomorrow. You can see if it is drawn by me."
In fact, there is no need to wait for tomorrow, just from Qi Yan's self-confidence and composure, Rong Chengyu already believes that what Qi Yan said is not false.
Staring blankly at the painting on the table, although the paintings of the ancients are not as realistic as Huafang's oil paintings, the charm of that kind of people is more vivid.In the painting, the figure of the person playing the piano is chic and coquettish, and a guess suddenly flashed in Rong Chengyu's mind, "The one in this painting...is you?"
Qi Yan also seemed to be a little bit surprised, he didn't expect Rong Chengyu to guess right, "...Yes, the one in this painting is me."
A man drew another man on paper, and at the same time wrote a poem praising beauty, the meaning of which naturally arouses people's imagination.
In the blink of an eye, Rong Chengyu suddenly remembered the name that Qi Yan blurted out at the moment of climax when the two first made love in the hotel...
Thank you!
Rong Chengyu's whole body was like falling into an ice cellar, he suddenly pulled Qi Yan's body, his eyes were full of unprecedented cruelty.
"What is the relationship between that Xie Rong and you?"
"He..." Qi Yan bit her lower lip lightly, Rong Chengyu was too sensitive, he didn't want to hide it from him anymore.
"Thank you for loving me."
The answer was exactly as he expected, Rong Chengyu resisted the dull pain in his heart, and asked again: "What about you, do you love him?"
If Qi Yan loves Xie Rong, then what is Rong Chengyu?
The string in his heart was stretched almost to the extreme, Rong Chengyu's eyes locked tightly on Qi Yan's thin lips, quietly waiting for his next trial.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when he was about to be unable to bear it, Qi Yan finally said slowly:
"I……"
"I have no idea."
have no idea?What an answer.Rong Chengyu didn't believe it, "You can just say it, I can bear it."
Instead of guessing and guessing like this, he would rather Qi Yan tell the whole truth.
Qi Yan stared at him for a few seconds, and finally turned her eyes away, "I really don't know."
……
"Then what's the matter with you and that Xie Rong?" Rong Chengyu asked this sentence with a self-torturing mentality.
"Me and Xie Rong?"
Qi Yan was silent for a long time, he turned his head and looked out of the window, his eyes became floating.
"That's a long story..."
Qi Yan is the fifth son of the second emperor of Dasui, and his biological mother was just a talented person when she entered the palace.Since the birth of the prince, his mother has been promoted from talented person to concubine.
Concubine Jin, Qi Yan's biological mother is a very ambitious woman.She was born in a humble background, but she knows how to bear it and keep a low profile.
Back then, the empress had nowhere to go, and the crown prince was still undecided, so all the princes had the chance to fight for the heir.Ever since Qi Yan became sensible, Concubine Jin urged him to study literature and martial arts every day.Every day when the sun rises, Xiao Qiyan will start to do her homework, and she will not be able to rest until the moon is in the middle of the sky. It has been like a day for more than ten years!
Externally, Concubine Jin asked Qi Yan to learn to restrain her edge and seek strength that could help them.
Xie Rong, son of the Xie family, the first family in Dasui, just came into Qi Yan's sight.
The Xie clan was famous for generations, and Xie Rong's father was the Generalissimo appointed by the emperor.He married the eldest sister of the emperor, in other words, Xie Rong had to call the current emperor "uncle".
Xie Rong was intelligent since childhood, the current emperor liked this nephew very much, so he let him also enter the palace to study with the prince.
The children who grew up in the palace are all seven-apertured and exquisite-hearted, so Xie Rong's identity naturally became the most dazzling existence in the study room.
Every prince knows to have a good relationship with Xie Rong, but Qi Yan doesn't.It's not that he doesn't know the value of Xie Rong, but that he sees the situation very clearly.
At that time, his biological mother, Concubine Jin, was weak, and the Xie family would not take him seriously for an unfavored prince like him.Rather than wasting effort in vain, it is better to wait and see what happens, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
As the days passed, Qi Yan gradually discovered that this young man from the Xie family had a somewhat unique temperament.He can't talk to the second prince who loves romance, he doesn't participate in the third prince's poetry reciting conference, and the fourth prince wants him to hunt, but he refuses all of them...
Not only that, this Xie Rong always came to him with a book every now and then to ask him about his homework.Qi Yanqi thought it was his delusion, but later found that Xie Rong did always find excuses to talk to him.
For example, just after the teacher finished speaking the "Book of Songs" that day, Xie Rong pointed to a line of poetry and asked him what it meant.
Studying in the upper study room, Qi Yan always kept in mind Concubine Jin's advice to know how to hide but not reveal.
He pretended to be half-knowledgeable, "Zizhi is Qingyang, and Yang Qizhi's face is also... This should mean that Mrs. Xuanjiang is beautiful?"
He intentionally misinterpreted the meaning of the original poem, "This beauty matches the monarch well, so it fits the title of the poem."
Xie Rong murmured: "I will grow old with you..."
Xie Rong intentionally brought the two closer. After Qi Yan experienced the initial surprise, she was delighted, and Concubine Jin was even more happy to see the result.
Being able to make friends with Xie's family will naturally benefit Qi Yan's future struggle for reserves.
After getting acquainted with Xie Rong gradually, Qi Yan gradually discovered the unique nature of this young man from the Xie family.Although he was born in a noble family, Xie Rong is reserved by nature, and he doesn't have many close friends on weekdays.
In the beginning, Xie Rong was indeed allowed to approach with a purpose, but Qi Yan grew up in a deep palace, and Concubine Jin was very strict in discipline, and he had no friends since he was a child.
Two young and lonely hearts are slowly approaching, like two little animals in a winter night, cuddling closely together for warmth.
After staying with Xie Rong for a long time, even the emperor looked at his youngest son differently.At the same time, Concubine Jin's road to the harem is getting smoother and smoother.
At this time, the undercurrent among the princes became more and more intense.
At this tense moment, Qi Yan accidentally discovered Xie Rong's feelings for him.
Xie Rong likes him, the kind of love between a man and a woman!
It turns out that the reason why Xie Rong treats him well is not that he treats him as a brother, but...
The moment Qi Yan discovered the truth, after being shocked, what Qi Yan immediately thought was that if he rejected Xie Rong, would the Xie family support him in the fight for the reserve?
Now that the second prince has lost his virtue, the third prince is too cowardly, and the fourth prince's natal family is strong, the Xie family already has a faint intention to support him.If at this juncture, he and Xie Rong lose peace...
Years of painstaking efforts may be ruined overnight, Qi Yan is not reconciled, let alone his mother and concubine.
After a night of calm analysis and thinking, Qi Yan finally decided to pretend not to know Xie Rong's intentions, and continue to maintain the original status of friendship and alliance with him.
Perhaps it was because of his inadvertent letting go that Xie Rong's love for him was even more out of control.
The first emperor died of illness, and the prince seized the throne. With the support of the Xie family, Qi Yan, after going through many obstacles, finally cleared out the other princes' cliques and successfully ascended to the position of Ninth Five Supreme.
After Qi Yan ascended the throne, he immediately conferred the title of title on Xie Rongci.The emperor and the ministers, the two of them at this time, have reached the highest place in the world.
Xie Rong began to no longer restrain his emotions, he became domineering and domineering.
He didn't allow Qi Yan to stand as queen and interfere with Qi Yan accepting concubine, he wanted Qi Yan's world to be only Xie Rong.
It's not that Qi Yan never thought of responding to his love, but he is the first to become a great treasure, if it is reported that he has broken his sleeve with an important minister at this time, it will definitely bring back the reactionary forces that have not been wiped out before.
Xie Rong and the throne, which is more important?Natural at a glance.
Qi Yan began to stay away from Xie Rong intentionally or unintentionally.
It's not that hard to get away from someone.He can always find many excuses not to see Xie Rong, to meet ministers, to pay respects to the Queen Mother, to review memorials...
The immediate consequence of ignoring Xie Rong for a period of time was that Xie Rong stormed into the imperial study angrily. During the quarrel between the two, Xie Rong poured out all his heart to her, but Qi Yan could only refuse him.
When Di Rong from the north came to attack, Xie Rong was angry and asked to lead his troops to defend against the enemy.
At such an embarrassing juncture, Qi Yan is of course ready.
But no one expected that the last meeting in the hall would be a farewell.
Xie Rong personally led the army to win three battles and three victories, but in the last battle, they were hit by the arrow.The arrow sores were not critical, but that year was the coldest winter in years, the northern border was covered by heavy snow, and the team that escorted Xie Rong back to Beijing for treatment was trapped in the snow mountain.
As soon as Qi Yan received the urgent report, he immediately sent the Yulin Army to bring the best imperial doctor in the palace, and rushed to the northern border day and night.
Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late...
"The things in Xie Rong's tomb were all handpicked by me to be buried with him, and that painting was given to me by him." Qi Yan quietly looked at the residual painting on the photo that had been eroded by the years.
At that time, he pretended not to know and misinterpreted the meaning of this poem.Who would have thought that Xie Rong would use him as a painting later, and even inscribe this poem on the painting.
What Rong Chengyu didn't know was that the poem was called "A Gentleman Grows Old Together".Xie Rong's mood when he wrote the poem at that time should be because of his joke that day, implying that the two of them will grow old together.
At the beginning, he was the one who failed Xie Rong.It was Xie Rong who filled his youthful desire for friendship, and it was Xie Rong who helped him ascend to the throne of God.
But in the end, between Xie Rong and the throne, he resolutely chose the latter.
He still failed Xie Rong's love for him.Therefore, when Xie Rong was buried, he specially buried this painting in the tomb.
He didn't deserve to have the affection of the Xie family boy back then.
"I thought that what I owed Xie Rong in this life would never be repaid. I didn't expect..."
Qi Yan's "I didn't expect that", but Rong Chengyu's heart was full of alarm bells.
"Didn't think of anything?"
For some reason, just looking at Qi Yan's expression at this moment, an inexplicable panic suddenly appeared in Rong Chengyu's body.
Qi Yan looked at him fixedly, and said with a complicated expression: "I never thought I would meet you, Cheng Yu, no, you are Xie Rong!"
The yelling of vendors on the street outside the window was still vaguely lingering in his ears, but Rong Chengyu felt that these were far away from him, and his whole consciousness seemed to be withdrawn.
He could understand every word Qi Yan said, but he didn't understand what it meant.
"You... What are you kidding? How could I be the Xie Rong you said?"
Xie Rong?An ancient man who has been dead for hundreds of years!
He is a modern person who has lived in the 21st century for nearly 30 years, how could he be the general lying in the ancient tomb!
Rong Chengyu felt that one of them must be crazy.Like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood, he begged Qi Yan with humble expectations:
"Ayan, did you have memory problems after jumping into the sea? All of this must be your fantasy! How about I take you abroad to see a doctor! We can go to the United States, and it doesn't matter how much it costs! As long as it can cure you ,I……"
"Cheng Yu!"
Qi Yan grabbed his hands, "I'm not sick! Everything I said is true, you and Xie Rong look exactly the same. Besides, Xie Rong... Rong Chengyu... Isn't this predestined? Xie Rong, is that the current Rong Chengyu?"
Rong Chengyu shook his head in disbelief, "No, it's too ridiculous. You can't make a conclusion based on just one name!"
"It's not the name!" Qi Yan looked at him sincerely, "You two really look exactly the same, whether it's height, appearance, body shape, voice... This is the same person at all!"
Rong Chengyu saw hope that he had never had before in his eyes.How does Qi Yan want him to answer, answer "yes"?
It turned out that the illusion he had thought was not an illusion.Qi Yan really looked at Chengyu through him, and then looked at the man named Xie Rong.
Rong Chengyu has lived for nearly 30 years, and has never experienced such a moment of despair.Qi Yan's eyes at this moment are like a blunt knife, cutting back and forth on the tip of his heart, cutting his heart full of love into a bloody mess.
The pain, the uncontrollable pain made him almost out of breath.But he still persisted, insisting on swallowing the heartache like weeping blood, and asked the cruelest sentence:
"You mean... you have always regarded me as Xie Rong?"
The old-fashioned wall clock on the wall creaked, and the setting sun streamed into the room. It was late winter, but Rong Chengyu suddenly felt an unspeakable coldness.
Qi Yan saw his eyes dimmed, and finally asked in a low voice: "Then who are you?"
He really knew...
The long-standing conjectures became reality, and the weight in Qi Yan's heart became tighter and tighter.Rong Chengyu should have suspected his identity a long time ago, otherwise, when he heard his words, his first reaction was not surprise, but a heavy feeling of grief.
Now that the matter has come to this point, Qi Yan has the courage to reveal the whole truth.
"I am..." As the words came to his lips, he was afraid that his answer would be too absurd and Rong Chengyu would not believe it, so he asked him, "In your guess, who do you think I am?"
"You?" Rong Chengyu laughed a few times in a low voice, this smile was mixed with too much helplessness and pain, "I don't know, really, Qi Yan, you... no, I don't know if your name is that. You There are too many mysteries on my body, so complicated that I can't figure it out at all."
He put his hands on his knees, his head was lowered between his arms, Qi Yan couldn't see his expression.
"You know poetry and songs, and you know how to ride a horse and play the piano, and you are more mature and sophisticated in handling things... You are not at all like the 'Qi Yan' who married me at that time. But I rescued you from the sea with my own hands. Yes, I can't think of any reason why you would be someone else..."

His eyes drooped, and at this moment, a gust of wind blew in from the window, blowing a few photos on the table to the ground.What came into his line of sight happened to be the picture of the funeral tomb.
There was a burst of clarity in my mind.No, he can't!
Qi Yan pressed against his chest suddenly, a kind of determination that had never been seen flashed in her eyes.
"Chengyu, I know you love me, but the more this is the case, the more I can't hide it from you."
Qi Yan paused for a few seconds, and finally said word by word: "I am indeed not the Qi Yan who married you back then."

Fang Ming was quick with his hands and feet. He packed three lunch boxes and brought a large bag of pen, ink and rice paper along the way.

The string in his heart was stretched almost to the extreme, Rong Chengyu's eyes locked tightly on Qi Yan's thin lips, quietly waiting for his next trial.
Time passed minute by minute, and just when he was about to be unable to bear it, Qi Yan finally said slowly:
"I……"
"I have no idea."
have no idea?What an answer.Rong Chengyu didn't believe it, "You can just say it, I can bear it."
Instead of guessing and guessing like this, he would rather Qi Yan tell the whole truth.
Qi Yan stared at him for a few seconds, and finally turned her eyes away, "I really don't know."
……
"Then what's the matter with you and that Xie Rong?" Rong Chengyu asked this sentence with a self-torturing mentality.
"Me and Xie Rong?"
Qi Yan was silent for a long time, he turned his head and looked out of the window, his eyes became floating.
"That's a long story..."
Qi Yan is the fifth son of the second emperor of Dasui, and his biological mother was just a talented person when she entered the palace.Since the birth of the prince, his mother has been promoted from talented person to concubine.
Concubine Jin, Qi Yan's biological mother is a very ambitious woman.She was born in a humble background, but she knows how to bear it and keep a low profile.
Back then, the empress had nowhere to go, and the crown prince was still undecided, so all the princes had the chance to fight for the heir.Ever since Qi Yan became sensible, Concubine Jin urged him to study literature and martial arts every day.Every day when the sun rises, Xiao Qiyan will start to do her homework, and she will not be able to rest until the moon is in the middle of the sky. It has been like a day for more than ten years!
Externally, Concubine Jin asked Qi Yan to learn to restrain her edge and seek strength that could help them.
Xie Rong, son of the Xie family, the first family in Dasui, just came into Qi Yan's sight.
The Xie clan was famous for generations, and Xie Rong's father was the Generalissimo appointed by the emperor.He married the eldest sister of the emperor, in other words, Xie Rong had to call the current emperor "uncle".
Xie Rong was intelligent since childhood, the current emperor liked this nephew very much, so he let him also enter the palace to study with the prince.
The children who grew up in the palace are all seven-apertured and exquisite-hearted, so Xie Rong's identity naturally became the most dazzling existence in the study room.
Every prince knows to have a good relationship with Xie Rong, but Qi Yan doesn't.It's not that he doesn't know the value of Xie Rong, but that he sees the situation very clearly.
At that time, his biological mother, Concubine Jin, was weak, and the Xie family would not take him seriously for an unfavored prince like him.Rather than wasting effort in vain, it is better to wait and see what happens, and then wait for the opportunity to move.
As the days passed, Qi Yan gradually discovered that this young man from the Xie family had a somewhat unique temperament.He can't talk to the second prince who loves romance, he doesn't participate in the third prince's poetry reciting conference, and the fourth prince wants him to hunt, but he refuses all of them...
Not only that, this Xie Rong always came to him with a book every now and then to ask him about his homework.Qi Yanqi thought it was his delusion, but later found that Xie Rong did always find excuses to talk to him.
For example, just after the teacher finished speaking the "Book of Songs" that day, Xie Rong pointed to a line of poetry and asked him what it meant.
Studying in the upper study room, Qi Yan always kept in mind Concubine Jin's advice to know how to hide but not reveal.
He pretended to be half-knowledgeable, "Zizhi is Qingyang, and Yang Qizhi's face is also... This should mean that Mrs. Xuanjiang is beautiful?"
He intentionally misinterpreted the meaning of the original poem, "This beauty matches the monarch well, so it fits the title of the poem."
Xie Rong murmured: "I will grow old with you..."
Xie Rong intentionally brought the two closer. After Qi Yan experienced the initial surprise, she was delighted, and Concubine Jin was even more happy to see the result.
Being able to make friends with Xie's family will naturally benefit Qi Yan's future struggle for reserves.
After getting acquainted with Xie Rong gradually, Qi Yan gradually discovered the unique nature of this young man from the Xie family.Although he was born in a noble family, Xie Rong is reserved by nature, and he doesn't have many close friends on weekdays.
In the beginning, Xie Rong was indeed allowed to approach with a purpose, but Qi Yan grew up in a deep palace, and Concubine Jin was very strict in discipline, and he had no friends since he was a child.
Two young and lonely hearts are slowly approaching, like two little animals in a winter night, cuddling closely together for warmth.
After staying with Xie Rong for a long time, even the emperor looked at his youngest son differently.At the same time, Concubine Jin's road to the harem is getting smoother and smoother.
At this time, the undercurrent among the princes became more and more intense.
At this tense moment, Qi Yan accidentally discovered Xie Rong's feelings for him.
Xie Rong likes him, the kind of love between a man and a woman!
It turns out that the reason why Xie Rong treats him well is not that he treats him as a brother, but...
The moment Qi Yan discovered the truth, after being shocked, what Qi Yan immediately thought was that if he rejected Xie Rong, would the Xie family support him in the fight for the reserve?
Now that the second prince has lost his virtue, the third prince is too cowardly, and the fourth prince's natal family is strong, the Xie family already has a faint intention to support him.If at this juncture, he and Xie Rong lose peace...
Years of painstaking efforts may be ruined overnight, Qi Yan is not reconciled, let alone his mother and concubine.
After a night of calm analysis and thinking, Qi Yan finally decided to pretend not to know Xie Rong's intentions, and continue to maintain the original status of friendship and alliance with him.
Perhaps it was because of his inadvertent letting go that Xie Rong's love for him was even more out of control.
The first emperor died of illness, and the prince seized the throne. With the support of the Xie family, Qi Yan, after going through many obstacles, finally cleared out the other princes' cliques and successfully ascended to the position of Ninth Five Supreme.
After Qi Yan ascended the throne, he immediately conferred the title of title on Xie Rongci.The emperor and the ministers, the two of them at this time, have reached the highest place in the world.
Xie Rong began to no longer restrain his emotions, he became domineering and domineering.
He didn't allow Qi Yan to stand as queen and interfere with Qi Yan accepting concubine, he wanted Qi Yan's world to be only Xie Rong.
It's not that Qi Yan never thought of responding to his love, but he is the first to become a great treasure, if it is reported that he has broken his sleeve with an important minister at this time, it will definitely bring back the reactionary forces that have not been wiped out before.
Xie Rong and the throne, which is more important?Natural at a glance.
Qi Yan began to stay away from Xie Rong intentionally or unintentionally.
It's not that hard to get away from someone.He can always find many excuses not to see Xie Rong, to meet ministers, to pay respects to the Queen Mother, to review memorials...
The immediate consequence of ignoring Xie Rong for a period of time was that Xie Rong stormed into the imperial study angrily. During the quarrel between the two, Xie Rong poured out all his heart to her, but Qi Yan could only refuse him.
When Di Rong from the north came to attack, Xie Rong was angry and asked to lead his troops to defend against the enemy.
At such an embarrassing juncture, Qi Yan is of course ready.
But no one expected that the last meeting in the hall would be a farewell.
Xie Rong personally led the army to win three battles and three victories, but in the last battle, they were hit by the arrow.The arrow sores were not critical, but that year was the coldest winter in years, the northern border was covered by heavy snow, and the team that escorted Xie Rong back to Beijing for treatment was trapped in the snow mountain.
As soon as Qi Yan received the urgent report, he immediately sent the Yulin Army to bring the best imperial doctor in the palace, and rushed to the northern border day and night.
Unexpectedly, it was still a step too late...
"The things in Xie Rong's tomb were all handpicked by me to be buried with him, and that painting was given to me by him." Qi Yan quietly looked at the residual painting on the photo that had been eroded by the years.
At that time, he pretended not to know and misinterpreted the meaning of this poem.Who would have thought that Xie Rong would use him as a painting later, and even inscribe this poem on the painting.
What Rong Chengyu didn't know was that the poem was called "A Gentleman Grows Old Together".Xie Rong's mood when he wrote the poem at that time should be because of his joke that day, implying that the two of them will grow old together.
At the beginning, he was the one who failed Xie Rong.It was Xie Rong who filled his youthful desire for friendship, and it was Xie Rong who helped him ascend to the throne of God.
But in the end, between Xie Rong and the throne, he resolutely chose the latter.
He still failed Xie Rong's love for him.Therefore, when Xie Rong was buried, he specially buried this painting in the tomb.
He didn't deserve to have the affection of the Xie family boy back then.
"I thought that what I owed Xie Rong in this life would never be repaid. I didn't expect..."
Qi Yan's "I didn't expect that", but Rong Chengyu's heart was full of alarm bells.
"Didn't think of anything?"
For some reason, just looking at Qi Yan's expression at this moment, an inexplicable panic suddenly appeared in Rong Chengyu's body.
Qi Yan looked at him fixedly, and said with a complicated expression: "I never thought I would meet you, Cheng Yu, no, you are Xie Rong!"
The yelling of vendors on the street outside the window was still vaguely lingering in his ears, but Rong Chengyu felt that these were far away from him, and his whole consciousness seemed to be withdrawn.
He could understand every word Qi Yan said, but he didn't understand what it meant.
"You... What are you kidding? How could I be the Xie Rong you said?"
Xie Rong?An ancient man who has been dead for hundreds of years!
He is a modern person who has lived in the 21st century for nearly 30 years, how could he be the general lying in the ancient tomb!
Rong Chengyu felt that one of them must be crazy.Like a drowning man grabbing the last piece of driftwood, he begged Qi Yan with humble expectations:
"Ayan, did you have memory problems after jumping into the sea? All of this must be your fantasy! How about I take you abroad to see a doctor! We can go to the United States, and it doesn't matter how much it costs! As long as it can cure you ,I……"
"Cheng Yu!"
Qi Yan grabbed his hands, "I'm not sick! Everything I said is true, you and Xie Rong look exactly the same. Besides, Xie Rong... Rong Chengyu... Isn't this predestined? Xie Rong, is that the current Rong Chengyu?"
Rong Chengyu shook his head in disbelief, "No, it's too ridiculous. You can't make a conclusion based on just one name!"
"It's not the name!" Qi Yan looked at him sincerely, "You two really look exactly the same, whether it's height, appearance, body shape, voice... This is the same person at all!"
Rong Chengyu saw hope that he had never had before in his eyes.How does Qi Yan want him to answer, answer "yes"?
It turned out that the illusion he had thought was not an illusion.Qi Yan really looked at Chengyu through him, and then looked at the man named Xie Rong.
Rong Chengyu has lived for nearly 30 years, and has never experienced such a moment of despair.Qi Yan's eyes at this moment are like a blunt knife, cutting back and forth on the tip of his heart, cutting his heart full of love into a bloody mess.
The pain, the uncontrollable pain made him almost out of breath.But he still persisted, insisting on swallowing the heartache like weeping blood, and asked the cruelest sentence:
"You mean... you have always regarded me as Xie Rong?"
