"Protect yourself... Live well..." The gentle voice fell on his ears, and Zhao An looked around in a daze, who was talking?Is it Your Highness?

No, this is not His Highness's voice.

But the surroundings were dark, only there was a ray of light in front of him, he ran forward with some fear, the wind was fierce in his ears, he didn't know how long he had been running, but when the light in front of him became red, he It was just as cold as falling into an ice abyss, he felt himself falling into the water, and the voice sounded in his ears again in a daze, desperate and unwilling to give up.

"An'an—"

Zhao'an's body shook suddenly, his eyes suddenly opened, and his chest heaved violently.

The moonlight in the room cast a few outlines of the window lattice, and the curtains were dark. Sensing something unusual, Ling Yu who was beside him woke up in an instant, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhao'an was still in palpitations, his head was dizzy for a while, his head hurt a little, and he hadn't recovered yet.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Ling Yu got up and found that Zhao'an's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He stroked his cold cheeks and asked worriedly, "Zhao'an?"

The warmth on his cheeks brought Zhao'an back to his senses, and Ling Yu's worried expression appeared in his eyes.He stood up and said hoarsely, "I'm fine, it's just a nightmare."

Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief, got out of bed and lit the candle, seeing Zhao'an's dazed look, he poured a glass of water and handed it to Zhao'an.

Zhao'an took the water and took a sip, the fear in his heart gradually calmed down.

Ling Yu sat on the edge of the bed, brushed his hair that was slightly soaked in cold sweat by his ear, and asked, "Is it better?"

Zhao'an's somewhat slack eyes became slightly clearer, looking at Ling Yu's worried face, he stretched out his hand and buried himself in Ling Yu's arms.

Ling Yu only said that he didn't have a good rest, he didn't sleep well and started dreaming.He touched the back of Zhao'an's neck with one hand, and gently stroked his back with the other hand, hugged the silent Zhao'an tightly in a gesture of complete acceptance, and comforted him gently: "Dreams are all illusory, Don't be afraid, I'm by your side."

Zhao'an didn't speak, the person in front of him was warm and real, dispelling the nameless coldness and fear in the dream.He raised his head from the hazy light and shadow, and eagerly kissed the soft lips in front of him, his body clinging tightly to the only warmth.

Letting Zhao'an move, Ling Yu's eyes darkened, and he responded gently, covering his slightly trembling body, and then sank overnight.

The righteous deeds of the Qu family were praised by the entire Yuanhe court. After understanding the cause and effect, Qu's father, who was originally in a daze, couldn't help being stunned, because he never paid the 100 million taels, but the money has slowly flowed away. got where it was needed.

After Qu He ran back to her natal home, she taught her old father and two elder brothers a lesson, and told them not to get involved anymore, or at least discuss it before doing things, or make money honestly, in case One day the Third Prince's Mansion collapsed and she had to go back to her mother's house, but she didn't want to come back with only a bare gate left.

Qu's father immediately pooh-pooh-poohed, children's words are not taboo, children's words are without taboo.

It's just that later the Qu family didn't contact the courtiers in private anymore, and they had already given the name of charity, and they stopped doing those fake things. They chose a simpler and rude method, and started giving alms in a peaceful manner.In the name of the third prince's concubine's family, she gave away whatever was missing, determined to turn Ling Yu and his wife into living Bodhisattva-like characters, and to accumulate a high reputation among the common people, which made Ling Yu dumbfounded for a while.

In the entire court, the theory of establishing a reserve has not been discussed several times, and every time there is no result.On the surface, Yuanhe has always advocated that those who are able should live there, and they are not strict with the elders and concubines, so they can't make a judgment for a while.In fact, Ling Yu and Ling Xu each have half of the army, but Ling Xu actually holds part of the military power in the Xingnai Forbidden Army, and has the support of Qin Xiang, the leader of the imperial court. It's just the last time. After that, most of the neutral courtiers turned to Ling Yu, and Prime Minister Qin couldn't influence him.

After an autumn rain, Emperor Cheng's cough recurred, and the morning court was suspended for a month. When he was away, there were frequent quarrels in the court hall. No matter how big the matter was, they could quarrel, or the ministries fought for their own interests. Or simply because you can't swallow a certain breath, and the quarrel is still unresolved.

Chengdi drank the medicine and listened to Qingming talking about the previous court's ups and downs. There was no emotion in his eyes, but he relaxed his body slightly, showing a sense of comfort that was completely different from his pale face.When he went to the court again, the originally thin man became thinner, but his eyes were still sharp, and the courtiers did not dare to be presumptuous. Regarding unresolved matters, Emperor Cheng arranged them to do whatever they wanted, without making any unnecessary noises .

Due to the rainy summer and poor autumn harvest, Emperor Cheng decided to go to Ziyu Mountain to pray for good weather and good weather in the coming year. It was a long journey, and Emperor Cheng was in poor health, so the officials in the court did not agree.However, Emperor Cheng insisted and attached great importance to this sacrifice to the heavens and prayed for blessings, and put forward many requirements. The Ministry of Rites could only hurry up to discuss and put forward relevant agendas.

And the headache is not limited to the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Households also has a headache-it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice.There were wars before, and natural disasters later, and the treasury is not abundant right now.

Standing beside Ling Yu now, Zhao'an realized that the emperor's likes and dislikes are unpredictable, and Ling Yu's situation is not satisfactory.

Every time those officials who only know how to ask for money come to the Ministry of Households to ask for money, although their stature is small and low, but if Ling Yu looks embarrassed, all of their words are coming from the sacred will, These are important matters that should not be delayed in the slightest, and the others can be ignored. The household department must arrange its own.

Hearing that, Zhao'an wanted to beat him out with a big stick.

Ling Yu has a good temper. Even though the Ministry of Finance has many difficulties, he hardly gets angry. With a few words, he can always try his best to appease the officials in the future, and he can also tighten up expenditures to meet the needs of all parties. Splurging is nothing more than making up for things.

On the carriage back home, Zhao'an was still a little angry when he thought about the scene where the Ministry of Rites came to Ling Yu for the matter of offering sacrifices to the emperor during the day. Originally, after the budget was approved, he would see what could be saved. In the end, those officials Rubbling on and on, he insisted on spending another 10 taels on top of the original fee, and still refused to give up an inch, so Ling Yu couldn't help shaking his head.

Seeing his angry look, Ling Yu asked, "What's the matter? Are you tired?" After the middle of the year, the court affairs became more and more complicated, and Ling Yu was afraid that Zhao'an would feel bored and hard.

Zhao'an shook his head, but he did feel a little pain in his head, so he moved to Ling Yu's side, leaned his head on Ling Yu's shoulder, and said sullenly: "No, it's because of your highness, I really want to put those old people in trouble. Pull Tong Tong out and beat him up."

Seeing that he still looked childish, Ling Yu smiled and said, "It's His Majesty's decision. They have already tried to persuade him, but there is nothing they can do about it."

"Your Highness is always considerate of these people, who will be considerate of you?" He couldn't say clearly that Emperor Cheng had been too extravagant these years, and that although Yuanhe had been quite mediocre these years, they were no longer rich and powerful.Emperor Cheng likes prosperity now, and with the large-scale construction projects, the national power can't afford such squandering. The important thing is that Ling Yu has to worry about it every day. On the other hand, Ling Xu has a great reputation in the Forbidden Army Camp. Zhao'an thought Then there is some resentment.

Ling Yu knew what Zhao'an meant. He saw the changes in Emperor Cheng in the past few months. It was like the calm before a stormy night. The earth is balanced in this bustling, and Chengdi's behavior in recent months makes him feel that this peace may not last long.He felt the warmth of his neck and shoulders, and felt that as long as the warmth and weight on his shoulders were still there, he would be able to face everything in the future, and it was rare for him to tease him: "Isn't it all right if you understand me?"

Zhao'an blushed suddenly, raised his eyes to look at Ling Yu's smiling eyes, finally couldn't help but slowly leaned forward, kissed the beautiful lips in front of him lightly, and parted: "Your Highness, am I important? "Am I special to you?

The warmth on his lips was still there, Ling Yu stared intently into Zhao'an's eyes, from that toddler to today's handsome young man, the dependence and attachment, alienation and twists and turns along the way, seeing the emptiness of half his life, Once the deep-seated attachment sprouted, it was only true if we hugged each other tightly. He tightened his arms and said, "You have always been important." You are important in every sense, and have always been.

Zhao'an's tears suddenly flowed down.

Ling Yu's next words were sealed between the lips and tongues that actively moved together. They embraced and kissed closely in this swaying space, their breaths intertwined, and their hearts were deeply rooted in their hearts.
