Pick all the cold branches

Yuqing looked tired, probably because he was exhausted from running around for a while. He had to scout for information, pass on news, and beware of avoiding those elusive Dongchang fans, which made him a little tired, and even his face was thin and sunken. Going down a circle, the chin is covered with blue stubble, so there is no such thing as a fair and handsome young man.Seeing that Zhen Xian did not follow Prince Jing into the house, but walked towards him, he was obviously taken aback for a moment, but he soon understood, showing a more complicated expression.

Zhen Xian thanked him for his greetings, and asked about the situation in various places, but he had nothing more to say, so he quietly stood down in the courtyard.

The sky was getting dark, and the familiar dryness of the north in the air was completely different from the moistness and softness of the south of the Yangtze River in the past three years, and there was a chilling feeling.

Yuqing hesitated to speak several times, but finally couldn't hold back, twisted the wrist strap and moved to Zhen Xian's side, and asked coyly, "Mr. Zhen, don't you feel unhappy?"

Zhen Xian was thinking about his own thoughts, when he suddenly heard this question, he couldn't understand it for a while, so he asked in a daze, "What do you mean?"

He really didn't need to ask more questions, let alone ask.

Why should Yu Qing say a few more words?After all, the more you talk, the more embarrassing it becomes.

And His Highness Prince Jing needs Fourth Highness, there is no doubt about it, especially at this critical time.

That being the case, nothing is as important as reassuring His Royal Highness the Fourth Highness.

Zhen Xian couldn't help sighing secretly, and without waiting for Yuqing to continue to ask the bottom line, he said in a deep voice: "His Highness Jiayu has paid a lot for His Highness King Jing, and he is His Highness' brother and arm. My younger brother has been wronged and turned his temper to his elder brother. As usual, it is His Highness's virtue to love his younger brother, so I have nothing to be unhappy about."

It's more or less blocked.

Yuqing understood what he heard, so she tilted her head and looked at him, as if secretly trying to figure it out countless times during the three years in Nanjing.

Yuqing found it difficult for him to understand.

The relationship between the prince and Mr. Zhen is different from that of ordinary people.The prince cares about Mr. Zhen, as much as he cares about a child, wishing he could hold it in his palm all the time and no one is allowed to touch it, but ordinary people can see it clearly.

But what does Mr. Zhen think of the prince?

Mr. Zhen is also different from ordinary people.But no matter how different it is, wouldn't he have the slightest idea of ​​wanting to be alone?If so, there are.So how can you be unmoved?

Is it too indifferent or too forbearing to be so calm and self-sufficient without showing any traces.

"Young Master Zhen, what exactly do you want?"

Yuqing pondered for a while, then curled her lips in confusion.

"The prince has kindness to me. I respect the prince and want to repay the favor, so I can do anything for the prince. As long as it is good for the prince, it is good for me. We brothers all have the same thoughts. "

He paused for a moment, then continued:

"The Fourth Highness has been weak since he was a child, and among so many brothers, only the prince is by his side to protect him. He wants the prince to be the heir apparent, and he will be the emperor in the future, because it is the best for the prince and the best for him. But Mr. Zhen, you Woolen cloth?"

He turned his head abruptly, stared fixedly at Zhen Xian, and after examining it for a long time, subconsciously shook his head.

"I think you are different from us. What do you want, is the prince, or a 'Master' who can realize your great wish?"

Maybe Yuqing didn't care at all.

He just had doubts in his heart, but he didn't know the city, so he spoke his mind unconsciously.

He might not even really know what he was saying.

But it was this kind of undisguised "inner heart" that fell into Zhen Xian's ears, but caused a thousand waves with one stone.

Zhen Xian never seriously thought about this before.

Since he was sent to His Highness by his grandfather and father at the age of ten, so many years have passed in a flash, no matter how ups and downs there are, he has always firmly believed that His Highness is his "Master".

Your Highness is the person he is determined to accompany and assist for the rest of his life. He used to be a prince, now he is a prince, and he will become an emperor in the future. He will fulfill the power and responsibility bestowed by heaven to rejuvenate a country and benefit all people. I never thought about it carefully, how much of this is righteous, and how much of it is his own selfishness.

Because it was His Highness, the person he had been watching in his eyes and thinking in his heart all along, so he couldn't tell the difference at all.

What he wants is a "Master" who can support the world, or His Highness?

If it's the former, is he really trying to force His Highness, invisible or unintentionally... Is it because he is obsessively trying to turn His Highness into what he wants, but ignores that His Highness also has his own thoughts? A real person?

It's as if His Highness was determined not to get married and become a concubine before, and then he still kept Cui Ying, and then asked him indignantly during the quarrel: "What do you want from me?"

There was a sudden sharp pain in the apex of my heart.Zhen Xian suddenly remembered that in Suzhou back then, His Highness had pestered him to hear him call the name "Jia Fei", perhaps it was not just a joke, but a signal that His Highness also wanted to confirm, wanted him to admit , Who is what he thinks in his heart and what he sees in his eyes.

But...if he admits that he wants His Highness, not as the only prince of the Holy Majesty and Empress Yuan, nor as the future emperor of the Holy Dynasty, His Royal Highness Prince Jing, but only the person he has known since childhood named "Jia" Fei", can he really have such selfish desires?

Of course he has selfish desires.

But he is not the Fourth Highness, nor Yu Qing, so he can't say what he thinks in his heart so calmly.From childhood to adulthood, all the upbringing he received told him to abandon his selfish desires and forget himself.He didn't dare to admit it, let alone reconcile with the selfish desire buried deep in his heart.

If the grandfather, father and elder brother were still there, how would they teach him?Or laugh at him as a mediocre person?It's a pity that even if he wanted to confide in his family, there was no one to confide in...

Yuqing was still talking to herself beside her.

"If one day, the prince can't do what you wish, but the prince is still the prince, what are you going to do, Mr. Zhen?"

"He won't." Zhen Xian retorted almost immediately, as if stung by this question, and seemed to be comforting himself.

Yuqing didn't realize it, and continued to ask:

"Then if there are other people who can also satisfy your requirements for the 'Master of Ming', even more in line with the appearance of the 'Master of Ming' you hope for in your heart—"

Zhen Xian felt as if a needle was being twisted and pierced repeatedly in his temple, the pain made his face turn pale, and even his breath had a burning sensation.

"I will not leave Your Highness. I have made an oath." Before Yuqing could finish speaking, he blocked the words back, and he didn't even notice the subconscious resistance.

"Is it just because you made an oath?" Yu Qing asked again without thinking.

This question almost made Zhen Xian collapse.

But he can't get angry with Yuqing.

Yuqing speaks freely because of her innocence, and she doesn't have any malicious intentions.

However, it was precisely this kind of pure doubt that caught off guard and pierced his soft ribs, causing him to be so painful that he couldn't breathe.

"Captain Yu, do you think my intentions for His Highness are false?"

Zhen Xian sighed in embarrassment, and smiled wryly at the corners of his eyes and brows.

Yuqing was taken aback when she heard the words, and finally realized what she had just said, panicked immediately, and repeatedly explained "no" and "that's not what it meant", but no matter how she tried to explain, she felt far-fetched and at a loss for words.

He must have made Mr. Zhen sad by talking nonsense.

But he is not the Fourth Highness, so he can be coaxed and tolerated by the prince even if he opens his mouth.If the prince finds out about this matter, even if he doesn't have the time to drag him out and beat him up right now, he will have to settle the score after all the important matters are over.

Just thinking of this section, Yuqing was so frightened that her whole body froze, her mind went blank, and she blurted out in a daze:

"My lord once told me that you are more important than his own life, my lord, so I, I just... want you to know, Mr. Zhen..."

As he spoke, he swallowed his voice back rustlingly.

That guilty and terrified look made Zhen Xian sigh for a while, so he had no choice but to comfort him in turn.

From Yuqing's point of view, he is probably a strange person, and Zhen Xian thinks so.

Maybe he is really a strange person, breaking all the boundaries that a courtier should not break, but he is not as intimacy and arrogance as His Highness can be seen at a glance.

But he still couldn't help it, the more he was around His Highness, the more his hands and feet were restrained, he felt that there was a thousand weights that made him suffocate, and he couldn't help thinking, unable to be free and easy.

He has never told anyone, in fact, how much he envies His Highness the Fourth Highness who can act rashly...
