After wearing the book, the regent quit.

"I'll drink it when we get home... okay."

The two looked at each other across three steps, Xiao Fan's black eyes flickered, and his eyes dodged from time to time; Shen Mu kept his hands folded over his chest, watching him silently with his downcast eyes, and said expressionlessly after a while,

"What does His Majesty mean by 'going home'?"

"Does it mean that His Majesty returns to the palace and the minister returns to the Regent's Palace?"

In my impression, this was the first time he spoke to Xiao Fan with a serious face and a cold voice; it was the time when the sunset was over, and there were people coming in and out of the already lively and noisy wine shop. Shen Mu was standing on the stairs, passing pedestrians Constantly, from time to time, blocking his view of Xiao Fan.

If in the morning he was still worried because Xiao Fan couldn't tell the difference between friendship and love, then now he was unhappy because of the young man's pretentious avoidance.

No matter how deliberately Ren Chenmu ignores it, Xiao Fan's face is full of concern and control, and he can't turn a blind eye; he can't understand the young man's worries of retreating, and he doesn't want the two to keep wandering in place and waste each other's time .

Seeing that the young man was silent all the time, Shen Mu didn't press any more questions, and left the winery without saying a word. After sitting firmly in the carriage, he wanted to ask the driver to drive back home.

The side curtain was lifted, and Xiao Fan's tall body squeezed in, sat down opposite Shen Mu, and then called the carriage directly to the Prince Regent's Palace in a deep voice.

The oppressive feeling on Xiao Fan's body was still very heavy, Shen Mu simply turned his head, frowned slightly, raised the roller blind to look at the passers-by on the street, soon a familiar voice sounded in his ear, slightly hoarse,

"Yafu just went to see someone."

"Chu Pingting," Shen Mu turned around and answered as usual, with a business-like tone without any emotion, "The Chu family secretly sells Daqi's arms, if you can firmly grasp this point, it will be the best way to weaken the power of your relatives." good time."

He handed over the handbook in his arms, "The evidence is here, please take a look, Your Majesty."

Xiao Fan raised his hand to take it, his palm brushed against the back of his hand, Shen Mu felt the young man's fingertips pause, then he took the ledger and lowered his head to flip through the two sides casually, pondered for a moment, and asked in a low voice without raising his head,

"That's why Yafu deliberately proposed the matter of delivering arms to the court that day, in order to get Xiao Huan hooked and deal with it together, right?"

"Xiao Huan is someone who will pose a threat to His Majesty, and he can't get too close to the center of power." Shen Mu looked at him calmly, and said in a deep voice, "I said before that I will stand by Your Majesty's side and protect His Majesty."

"What about Your Majesty? Does Your Majesty have anything to say to the minister?"

The long eyelashes trembled, Xiao Fan lowered his eyes and did not open his mouth.

The two returned to the mansion without a word. When they walked through the front yard to the front hall, the afterglow passed and the sky was dark, and the delicious food on the table was filled with the aroma of fireworks.

Knowing that Xiao Fan was coming in advance, Granny Tian put on the incomparably luxurious clothes again, sat at the dining table happily and nervously, waiting for the two of them to come back with a smile on her face, but when she spoke to Xiao Fan, her tone was no longer Consciously bring a copy to abide by.

Seeing all the unnaturalness of the old man, Shen Mu, who was sitting on the farthest side, watched Xiao Fan talking to Granny Tian as usual, and bowed his head to eat in silence.

While Granny Tian was concerned about Xiao Fan, Shen Mu casually found an excuse to go back to the house, and sorted out the evidence in his hand that could attack the forces of the Chu family except Chu Puyu's smuggled arms, and prepared to hand it over to Xiao Fan later. Let him decide on his own relatives.

It wasn't due to whim, Xiao Fan should have decided on this matter by himself, at first he insisted on intervening because Xiao Huan had planted an eyeliner in his house; when Chu Puyu's affairs were exposed in the past two days, not only Xiao Huan, but even the Xiao family If he is going to be implicated, then his original warning purpose has already been achieved.

As for how Xiao Fan would deal with it in the end, it was no longer Shen Mu's concern.

And more importantly, he did feel tired.

From Nalan Wan to Gao Ying, and then to Chu Pingting, he ran around like a spring that couldn't stop, figuring things out with others in the intriguing palace, even if people greeted him with a smile every day, he still couldn't help it. It's really exhausting and coping.

If possible, he actually wanted to—

"Your Majesty, the wooden pond has already put hot water," Ah Qing knocked on the door and came in, her voice interrupted Shen Mu's thoughts, and said softly, "Your Majesty is still talking to Granny Tian, ​​do you want to take a bath first?"

After saying hello, Shen Mu took the change of clothes and left the bedroom, walking towards a room at the end of the corridor.

After carefully closing the door for Shen Mu, Ah Qing turned around and prepared to wait on the chair on the corridor opposite the room, but from the corner of her eye, she saw that Jing Fan was not by Xiao Fan's side as usual, but striding towards him .

In the desolate moonlight, the long figure of the tall young man in black was reflected in the long corridor. Ah Qing stared wide-eyed as Jing Fan came to him and stopped, then pulled him up without saying a word, and led him all the way to the in the far corner.

The cold white light was blocked by the broad back of the young man, Ah Qing leaned against the corner and looked at Jing Fan timidly, her pink face flushed a little, and said weakly, "You...you have something to look for me?"

The cold facial features could not reveal any emotion, Jing Fan stared at him for a long time, finally when Ah Qing's eyes began to turn red, he lowered his eyes and said a complete sentence to Ah Qing for the first time:

"Is there any more candy from last time?"

After taking off his coat behind the screen, Shen Mu came to the steaming wooden pool with only a single piece of clothing. Looking at the half-empty wooden basket beside the pool, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

He clearly remembered that when Ah Qing came in with the frame, there were acacia and long towels for bathing inside.

"Ah Qing—"

When he raised his eyes and was about to call for someone, he saw Xiao Fan coming in from the door, closed the door softly, and came slowly, holding a wooden basket he got somewhere, walking slowly in the dense water vapor , stopped a few steps away from Shen Mu, and said in a deep voice,

"Jing Fan has something to do with him."

This lie was told so carelessly, after a while Shen Mu finally saw clearly the long scarf and acacia he had "lost and recovered" in the wooden basket in Xiao Fan's hands; after a moment of helpless silence, he entered the wooden pool with a hum, and slowly immersed himself in the water , turned his back on the young man and stopped talking.

After waiting for a long time, I didn't hear Xiao Fan's footsteps leaving. Shen Mu really couldn't figure out what he wanted to do, leaning against the pool wall and asked softly, "Is there anything else, Your Majesty?"

In the steamy room, Xiao Fan's voice was slightly blurred, so that Shen Mu misheard a trace of grievance: "Yafu didn't eat much tonight, are you still angry?"

"It's just that I don't have an appetite." There was the sound of water behind him, Xiao Fan should be walking towards him; Shen Mu sighed and asked why Xiao Fan suddenly changed his mind and insisted on letting Granny Tian find out his identity .

"You don't have to tell her personally," Xiao Fan's voice approached gradually, accompanied by the undeniable aroma of sandalwood, "She doesn't dare to leave the capital again."

It's not that I can't, but I dare not.

Shen Mu was silent, looking down at Xiao Fan approaching a little bit, the falling long figure completely enveloped him, and his hoarse voice sounded beside his ears:

"I know you said that coercion can't keep people's hearts, but if people can't keep people's hearts, what's the point of keeping people's hearts?"

Turning around to look at Xiao Fan, the young man was half a step away from him. Both of them were only wearing a thin shirt at the moment, and the soaked silk was stuck to their bodies. Slightly reddened.

Xiao Fan leaned too close, so that Shen Mu could clearly see every powerful part of his body; his body instinctively stepped back, and his back was tightly pressed against the wooden board, Shen Mu suddenly didn't know what to do. Where are the eyes.

It was a rare time when Shen Mu was in a hurry, and Shen Mu heard his breathing unsteadily, and his voice was not as steady as before, "Xiao Fan, there is a straightforward way, why do you choose to avoid everything when you encounter anything——"

"Because I dare not."

"Shen Zinian, we are different," Xiao Fan's voice trembled slightly, he seemed to feel that the two of them were not close enough, so he took another half step forward, "You can tease me without any scruples ; If you are upset, you can simply leave on the spot with a cold face."

"Because you knew from the very beginning that there was nothing I could do about you."

"I'm trapped by you, but you can leave at any time," the voice paused, and the young man lost the ferocity to eat people just now, and lowered his eyes to look at Shen Mu, "So I don't have that much confidence, I can Unscrupulously testing your attitude."

"Shen Zinian," Xiao Fan murmured his name again, and wanted to lean his head on Shen Mu's shoulder, "Do you know that you are responsible for teasing people?"

Lifting his finger against the young man's forehead, the heat in the room made Shen Mu unable to think normally, so he could only say in a low voice, "...Xiao Fan, you have to act like a baby no matter what you say now."

His body was weakened by the soak, Shen Mu stood up from the wooden pool with his hands supporting the wooden board; he came out of the water all wet, and the wet single clothes kept dripping, he sat down by the pool indifferently, looked Looking at the young man standing upright beside him.

When the two were happy, he thought it was a very simple matter, but Xiao Fan's restlessness and worries made him feel helpless.

The moment he confirmed his intention, he knew that he was likely to give up the idea of ​​leaving, and would never get out of the invisible cage of the imperial palace in the capital, so the sentence "I am willing to be trapped here" against his will was really hard to say.

But he also wanted Xiao Fan to be happy.

"When did I say I'm not responsible?" Shen Mu raised his hand and gently brushed Xiao Fan's wet hair behind his ears, tightened his clothes, and said softly,

"The water is going to be cold, let's talk slowly when we go back, okay?"

As soon as the words were finished, the young man stretched out his long arms, pulled out a thick long scarf from the wooden basket placed by the pool, and wrapped Shen Mu tightly like a rice dumpling.

With a splash, Xiao Fan came out of the water covered in moisture, and immediately hugged Shen Mu by the waist without saying a word.

Not daring to look directly into his eyes, Xiao Fan's hand on Shen Mu's waist moved slightly; he turned his head, glanced at Shen Mu as if flying, and murmured:

"...You just relied on the fact that I couldn't leave you, and then bullied me recklessly."
