many worries

It was still lively outside, even if there was a scandal in the main hall, it was kept strictly hidden, the outside didn't know about it, and it had to save face, the fireworks were still set off at the appointed time, and the singing and dancing music did not stop.The front of the Taiqing Palace was deserted, with only one white lantern, and the light was dim. Even the guards guarding the gate drank alcohol and became dizzy.

Qiao Yu asked the guard for the key, and he really gave it to him. He opened the door without hesitation, got in, and closed the door tightly to block the noise of firecrackers outside, as if he had a little sense of security. , the body followed the door, and slowly slid down limply.

Jing Yan stood not far from there, walked over, hugged Qiao Yu, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and asked, "What happened today, why did you come back now?"

In fact, ever since Defudequan used the official post on Qiao Yu six years ago, he has arranged people around Qiao Yu, but he has given a death order, unless Qiao Yu's life is in danger, he cannot rescue him .The Taiqing Palace was closely supervised, and the identity of the secret guard was also different from Xiao Shishi, who only regularly reported what happened to Qiao Yu outside.

Over the years, Qiao Yu has not been bullied.The worst time, he fought with several young eunuchs on the road, which is very unusual.Qiao Yu was timid and pampered. When he was a child, he was weak. Usually, when others scolded him and bullied him, he would cowardly pretend he didn't hear it.It was different that time. When Qiao Yu went to the eunuch's office to do business, he met a group of young eunuchs chatting under the tree. They were younger than Qiao Yu and had never been out of the eunuch's office. The unfavored concubine and so on, somehow Jing Yan was mentioned.They all wanted to curry favor with Jing Xu and Concubine Feng, and when they scolded behind their backs, they were afraid of being left behind. They scolded Jing Yan as worthless and put all dirty things on him. They apologize.

The group of little eunuchs naturally refused, and scolded even harder.

Qiao Yu had never been so angry before, and fought with those little eunuchs.He had never used hands before and knew how to fight, but the group of young eunuchs were just lip service, usually they didn't have the chance to fight, they just relied on the large number of people.Qiao Yu put his life on the line to subdue the group of people, and was finally pulled away by the boss, and almost got boarded, because of his satisfactory relationship, he was spared.

After listening to the news, Yixin led him back. Qiao Yu was stern, weeping pitifully on the chair by the corner, wiping secretly while weeping, and even peeled an orange to eat.

I was really laughed at by him.

When he brought back Liangyu, the young eunuch who caused trouble, Qiao Ta was still arrogant and arrogant. He refused to admit his mistake and asked him contentedly, "How old are you, and you still learn to fight. Did you cry when you beat someone?"

Qiao Yu stopped talking, because she was so ashamed, and she was indeed crying.

When going back, Jing Yan asked him what's wrong, Qiao Yu said dryly: "It's nothing, a group of little eunuchs bullied me, I beat them all to the ground."

Even though she was telling lies and was beaten all over her head, Qiao Yu couldn't help but feel complacent.

He felt like a great hero in the script, protecting his prince.

Jing Yan only found out a few days later.

Qiao Yu has been like this since she was a child, stupid and naive, but she only has this person in her heart.

But what happened today was different from usual, Qiao Yu still knew the seriousness, curled up in Jing Yan's arms, was carried to the bed, took off her ill-fitting coat, stretched out her body, from going to the imperial dining room this morning to what happened just now, Tell Jing Yan little by little.

Jing Hong's play was done by Jing Yan, he knew it clearly, but Qiao Yu's was an accident.

But it doesn't matter, it's all come to this step, one step away from leaving the Taiqing Palace.

Qiao Yu was a little scared, her eyelashes trembled slightly, casting heavy shadows, her voice was very soft, trembling slightly, and she asked, "What should I do? Did my aunt recognize me? She recognized me, and she said that she had been watching me all the time. Me. I don't even know."

Jing Yan hugged him even tighter, and carefully approached Qiao Yu's red eyes.

Qiao Yu tugged at Jing Yan's sleeve, and became more and more nervous as she spoke, her palms were covered with sticky sweat.What he was afraid of was another thing, he was afraid that Concubine Feng would use this to frame Jing Yan, because he was not an eunuch, but Qiao Yu.

Thinking of this, he raised his eyes and tried to open them wider. From this angle, he could see the outline of Jing Yan's side face, and a small piece of thin lips, very gentle. He was comforting himself softly.

Jing Yan paused, and it was rare to have a moment of hesitation, "It doesn't matter, if you see it, you will see it, it won't be a big deal."

Did not say how to solve it.

Qiao Yu pursed her lips, her face was almost pale, and she didn't speak.He thought in his heart that the prince is so smart that he would not fail to think of the consequences of this incident, but he didn't say anything.

He thought for a long time, and finally choked out a sentence. Unfortunately, he had exhausted all his courage to say it, and he didn't even dare to lift his head. He stumbled and said, "Don't worry, I've already thought about it. If she really recognizes it, I told His Majesty that she sent me, and asked me to watch Your Majesty."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, it was a very abrupt silence, a needle was dropped, and the breath was a little bit bigger, and they could be heard clearly.Qiao Yu lowered her head, wringing her fingers intently.His fingertips are light pink and very round. Du Jingyan cut them for him and they are well trimmed.

It is too hot in summer, the windows are half-closed, and there are locust trees coming in through the window lattice, wrapped in the night wind and moonlight, accompanied by endless silence.

Qiao Yu leaned there, the green branch fell on his cheek, he could almost smell the soil.

Jing Yan's eyes are pitch black, like a lake in the dark night, where there is no glimmer of light, no matter what is thrown into it, there will be no waves, and calm will be restored in a blink of an eye.

Qiao Yu couldn't hold back, and secretly glanced at him, but was caught by Jing Yan.

Jing Yan let go of his arms, and moved Qiao Yu to the side of the bed, directly opposite to him.The weather was very hot, and the two of them seemed to have a fire burning, and they were covered in sweat when they hugged each other.

But Qiao Yu just couldn't bear to come out, no matter what, he always liked to be close to Jing Yan.Qiao Yu was stunned, she said these words very carefully and seriously, and planned to carry them out seriously.

Because he was very scared, afraid that Jing Yan would worry, be sad, and not sleep well.In fact, Qiao Yu had already thought of this way to deal with Concubine Feng Gui on the way, so she didn't want to say it.But now he thought that the prince had no choice but to wait for the result, so he clumsily tried to comfort Jing Yan and let him know that this difficulty could be overcome.

Qiao Yu didn't know what the consequences would be, because there was no lesson learned from the past, but he could roughly guess that he would die, and his aunt probably wouldn't either.

The more he thought about it, the more he thought about it, the sadder he became, and he put his whole body into it, thinking that tomorrow Concubine Feng Gui would lead someone to rush in and arrest him, and then sue in front of Emperor Yuande, and he would stand up bravely and say Tell a well-made lie.Qiao Yu thought, if he had to die, he hoped it would be easier and not so difficult.

This is Qiao Yu's only wish, or now he wants to add another one, which is to hope that the prince can hug him more, after all, when he goes underground, there will be no more.

Probably because he was thinking too much into the drama, Qiao Yu burst into tears, and thought that there would be no future anyway, so he didn't need to show any face, and he crawled to pull Jing Yan's sleeve to get into his arms drill.Jing Yan avoided it coldly, even got up directly and got out of bed.

Qiao Yu looked at Jing Yan pitifully, her round deer eyes were wet, and it seemed that tears were about to fall out in the next moment.

It's very pathetic.

Jing Yan half-closed his eyes and looked down at him, with emotions that no one could see through.He was silent for a long time, then slowly rolled up his wide sleeves and raised Qiao Yu's chin, forcing him to look directly into his eyes.He exerted a lot of strength, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged a little. Qiao Yu only felt that his chin was firmly pinched, and the pain was so severe that he even seemed to be a little short of breath.

His eyelashes trembled violently, knowing that the prince was angry.

Jing Yan was rarely so angry.He doesn't have any mood swings. Whether he is angry or angry, it is useless and unnecessary.

But these are useless to Qiao Yu.

He stood condescendingly in front of Qiao Yu, and looked at the little fool in front of him with a very cold and alienated gaze. How stupid and innocent he was, but it tasted sweet, his favorite taste.

Jing Yan pinched his cheek again, and the more flesh there was, the harder it was.

Qiao Yu still had tears in his eyes, but he didn't cry.

A gust of wind blew by, and the faint candle flame flickered, almost blurring the faces of the two of them.The next moment, Jing Yan finally said the first sentence.

"Huh? When I grow up, I don't want my life anymore? Should I say something like this? Are you saying this to kill me?"

Jing Yan's voice gradually weakened, and when it reached the last sentence, besides himself, even Qiao Yu couldn't hear clearly.

Probably the important things are used to be placed in the bottom of my heart, rather than spoken out.

He deliberately wanted to make Qiao Yu cry, and said softly: "Qiao Yu, have you never known that nothing is more important than your life, it is true for me, and it should be true for you. Those What is it, can it be compared with you?"

Qiao Yu was startled, struggling to escape, but couldn't break away from Jing Yan's hand.

Jing Yan leaned down, her phoenix eyes were entangled with prey and tenderness, her voice was a little more urgent than before, "Xiaoyu, don't be afraid of them, everything will be fine, we will get out from here soon."

In the past, Jing Yan was reluctant to do anything hard to him, and mostly just teased him, but this time it was very different, he deliberately wanted to make Qiao Yu hurt, and wanted him to remember.

Qiao Yu's heart was sad, his cheeks and chin hurt, both were mixed together, he didn't know which one made him sadder, tears rolled down from his eyes, big drops fell on the back of his hands, it was cold, it seemed to be sour, but Stubbornly refused to erase.

He couldn't help crying, covered his eyes, and curled up, "You are bad, don't tell me anything, and I don't know..."

Jing Yan let go of his hand, and finally fulfilled Qiao Yu's wish. He held him in his arms, coaxed him carefully, rubbed his cheeks, and agreed, "Yes, good, I'm bad."

Qiao Yu added reluctantly, "Ah Ci is too bad, bullying me every day, I don't want to die."

He was so sad, thinking about how to protect his prince along the way, but he had already planned it out.

When Jing Yan pampered him and coaxed him, he had no bottom line, but he was determined with strength in his hands, and he was not willing to go beyond it at all.

Suddenly, he lowered his head, gently kissed the end of Qiao Yu's long hair, and smiled softly where no one could see, "Am I so useless, I can't even protect myself, and I need Xiaoyu to fight me?" Life protects me."

He paused, covered Qiao Yu's sobbing mouth with his palm, and continued calmly, word by word: "But I was very happy when Xiaoyu said that he would protect me with his life. Probably no one ever It makes me so happy to talk like that, to taste like that."

He seldom expresses his thoughts, not even to Empress Chen, because those are unnecessary things, others don't care what he thinks, and don't need to care, Jing Yan can only stand upright and hold on Those responsibilities that have been carried on their shoulders since childhood.

But Qiao Yu was different.

The warmth that surged up at that moment was enough to soften Jing Yan's hard heart, making him greedy and wanting more.

But Qiao Yu had already given him his life, what else did he not get?

Jing Yan ignored the unusual feeling, stroked Qiao Yu's wet eyelashes, and said seriously: "For so many years, I have been well protected by Xiaoyu, and I feel at ease. So from now on, I will also take good care of Xiaoyu. We It's a deal, right?"

Qiao Yu snorted softly, wiped tears on Jing Yan's body, and said proudly: "Yes! I have always, always been very careful to protect the prince, and I have done what I said!"

But he was a little melancholy, and he sighed a little.

He has grown up, both the Qiao family and the Feng family have more beauties, but Qiao Yusheng is good, his facial features are all inherited from the beautiful, very touching.His skin is very white, almost transparent under the low light, the blue veins inside are very obvious, there are still wet tears on his cheeks, the eyelashes are thick and long, and the tears on his head have not been shaken off, it is a very fragile posture.

Jing Yan's mind seemed to be swaying slightly with his flickering deer eyes, and he asked him in a low voice, "Xiaoyu doesn't want to leave here, leave Taiqing Palace?"

Qiao Yu was exposed by him, but he didn't dare to admit it, and said dryly, "Where is it? No!"

It's just that the neck is secretly red, probably because of lying.

He really didn't want to leave Taiqing Palace.The palace was too chaotic, even Qiao Yu, who was not very familiar with human affairs, could see that today's play was wrong.Regardless of who is right and who is wrong, but Jing Xu, Jing Hong and Feng Guifei are biological mother and son brothers, but they made such a fuss for the rights of the throne, wishing to cause each other to die.Qiao Yu has been in the palace for a long time, and she has seen some things too much. The lowly ones want to please those above them, and the high ones want to go further. I can't take care of it.

Although the Taiqing Palace is suffering, but just the two of them, the ups and downs outside, right and wrong, can never disturb them.

For Qiao Yu, no amount of glory and wealth can compare to this.He was a little scared, there were so many people outside and so many things going on, could he and Ah Ci still be like this?But Qiao Yu knew that it was impossible for Jing Yan not to go out, the dragon swims in the shallow water, the tiger falls in the flat sun, those things cannot possibly trap the prince for a lifetime.

Thinking of this, he knew there was nothing he could do about it, but he couldn't help being sad, rolled up the thin quilt, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm so tired today, I'm going to sleep, Your Highness should go to sleep too."

Jing Yan got up and blew out the candle, closed the window, went to the edge of the bed again, touched Qiao Yu's long hair, "Fall asleep with you, I'll go."

I heard that people with soft hair have soft hearts, and Qiao Yu's hair is so soft, Jing Yan guessed that his heart is probably made of sugar water, which makes it soft and sweet.

Qiao Yu tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep, he didn't want to turn over, he wanted to fall asleep early, Jing Yan could also go to rest, but the more anxious he was, the harder it was to fall asleep.

Jing Yan stretched out his hand, and the palms of the two were pressed together. Qiao Yu stepped back, not wanting to give up, and went back to hold Jing Yan's hand tightly, and used his fingers to hook Qiao Yu's.

It seemed to be a consolation, but it didn't seem to be, just wanting to do it.

Jing Yan's hands froze, and he rolled over onto the bed, lying on his side beside Qiao Yu.

After a long time, there was a sound from the thin quilt. It was Qiao Yu's voice, which was filled with a sweet nasal voice, but also firm: "Actually, there is no difference, so there is nothing to be afraid of. No matter what happens outside, I will With Ah Ci, it will never change."

Jing Yan smiled in the dark, and gave a soft "hmm".

Light and soft, it all sounds sweet.

After Qiao Yu fell into a deep sleep because of these words, Jing Yan straightened up instinctively for no reason, and kissed the small skin on Qiao Yu's temple.

Sweeter than last time.

It also makes people want to eat it even more.

All this should have been silent, but Xiao Shishi, who was guarding outside, caught it.
