I don't know what the difference is, but I can say with certainty that I didn't go to you out of gratitude. "

Yuan Lingxiu looked up at him.

Shen Jieran said seriously: "It's really not gratitude. After all, I have too many people to thank. I want to find you because of that unique trust in the world. I know you will accompany me when I have nothing. For me, he would not hesitate to become a court prisoner or even lose his life."

Many years have passed, and Shen Jieran can still remember the feeling of the mountain wind hitting his face that day, when Yuan Lingxiu was blind and cautiously groped for the hem of his clothes and said to him, "Let's go" look.

Shen Jieran looked into Yuan Lingxiu's eyes, and continued, "It is because of this trust that I want to stay by your side more. Because seeing you and smelling you, I can sleep with peace of mind. But having said that , although this kind of trust cannot be given to me by others, and trustworthiness is not love."

He paused, then continued: "I know that I love you because I want to see you all the time, and I miss you very much if I don't see you. I want to protect you and prevent you from being wronged Any of your sadness, sadness, forbearance and grievances, if I know about it, I will be heartbroken. I wish I could just hug you all the time, forever..."

After speaking, tears welled up in Shen Jieran's eyes.

After all, he didn't hide the self-blame in his heart.

The person he wanted to protect so much, the person who didn't allow anyone to touch a single hair, suffered so much because of his disappearance...

Stretching out a finger to wipe away the tear, Yuan Lingxiu was still immersed in the other party's words and couldn't recover.But he didn't want Shen Jieran to blame himself for what had happened, he said softly: "I know you want to protect me, but I'm not as fragile as you imagined? And I didn't do well, wait You go back and there is still a lot of mess to clean up."

"Well," Shen Jieran grabbed his hand again, "I've heard from Zhang Xianzhong and the others about some things, and you have handled them very well. Now our mission has almost been completed, and we just wait for the news from King Jin."

Yuan Lingxiu hurriedly said: "By the way, after you disappeared, I had two correspondences with the King of Jin. He mentioned in the letter that the emperor's health was not as good as before, and now the whole court already knows about you, the King of the Mausoleum of General Chang. They are all supporting King Jin, maybe the crown prince will be forced to do something, maybe, His Majesty is not in good health now because he has already done something..."

"Ah Chu, thank you." Shen Jieran felt that he shouldn't say thank you to Yuan Lingxiu, but his heart was filled with thousands of words, and the only thing he could say was thank you.

It was their previous plan to push the prince to a desperate situation and let him go to a dead end.Now that the war is over, the generals who hold the military power are all from King Jin and King Xiang. They are not favored by the emperor. Although there are still a few ministers who can rely on them who hold real power, King Jin and King Xiang also have such people. , such as Yuan Xiang, the prince no longer has an advantage in the court.

But the premise of all plans is that he can stabilize the Ling country in the west and stabilize the army.

If Yuan Lingxiu hadn't broken through the Immortal Trapping Formation and the generals were arrested one by one, Cheng Jun would become vulnerable.

If Yuan Lingxiu couldn't resist the pressure and returned to the capital after releasing the talisman and handing over the troops, all their hard work would be in vain.Even if King Jin can still succeed, he will no longer need the Shen family after he ascends the throne.

Yuan Lingxiu shook his head.

Shen Jieran added: "The current situation has stabilized, and this is all thanks to you." Although it is only based on Zhang Xianzhong's statement, it is not difficult to infer the situation in Beijing based on several actions of Yuan Lingxiu.Shen Jieran breathed a sigh of relief silently.

What he feared the most since his rebirth was that the Shen family would repeat the same mistakes, but now, this big rock that had been in his heart for several years had disappeared.

The worries that have been lingering in my heart for many years have completely dissipated.

Yuan Lingxiu was a little shy, and lowered his eyes to stop looking at him.

He also knew what Shen Jieran was thinking at the moment.As long as the affairs in the follow-up palace don't get too noisy to the point where you have to send troops to Qingjun's side, you don't need Shen Jieran to intervene. He just needs to train his soldiers at the border in a safe and sound way. Yuan Lingxiu said, "Wait You rest here, and we will go back."

"I'm not in the way... But Miss Shen, I see that she is still interested in you. You'd better explain it to her, so as not to miss other girls."

These two days, Shen Jieran was either busy taking care of Yuan Lingxiu or resisting the poison of that damned drug, so he really didn't take the time to have a good talk with her.

Miss Qionghua is a good person, and he is very grateful for her life-saving grace. If possible, he doesn't want to hurt her.

But no matter what, there will be no other.

Shen Jieran nodded, "Yes, I see. Ah Chu, would you like to eat something first?"

Yuan Lingxiu also nodded, "I've been lying down for a long time and I don't have any strength, please help me get out of bed and eat."

The wooden table was placed by the window, and the two of them sat on the edge of the table, and outside the yard, Qi'er could be seen having fun with several children of his age.

Qi'er was wearing a snow-white gown and ran like a rabbit. When the villagers who passed by saw him, they couldn't help but praise, "What a little fairy boy!"

When Yuan Lingxiu saw that among those children, there was the one who brought him into the village, so he couldn't help but feel a little different.

That desolate and desolate feeling is an unbearable experience even thinking about it today.

The reason why he invited the old genius doctor regardless of the long and rough journey, instead of taking Shen Jieran back directly, was because he had already made preparations to let Shen Jieran go if he couldn't recover his memory and still wanted to stay here.

Yuan Lingxiu could work hard to prop up an entire army camp for him because he loved him, or he could die for him because he loved him—if what he found that day was not a living person but a corpse, he might have followed him long ago.But Yuan Lingxiu couldn't do the only thing that forced him back.

Yuan Lingxiu would never be able to humbly beg for the love of others.

After all, he still feels that love is a matter between two people.He likes Shen Jieran, it has nothing to do with whether Shen Jieran likes him or not.

That day by the fire, what he said to Shen Jieran who was still Shen Erzhu was just because he was angry and wanted to vent his anger and scare him.But such a thing, Yuan Lingxiu asked himself that he couldn't do it.

But having said that, although I think clearly in my heart and know what kind of choice I should make one day, if Shen Jieran really doesn't want to go back with him...

He closed his eyes and couldn't help repeating in his heart: "It's all over, it's all over."

After eating, Shen Jieran went out for a walk with Yuan Lingxiu.

Ah Chu is very thin now, Shen Jieran was really afraid that a gust of wind would blow him away, so he held his hand all the time and refused to let go.

Qi'er, who was sweating profusely from running outside the yard, saw his father and father coming out, so he rushed over at a trot.

In the past few months, Qi'er has grown a little taller, but the habit of hugging his thighs still hasn't changed, and his small arms have also grown a little, so he just hugged one with one hand, tilted his head up and giggled happily at the two daddies.

Yuan Lingxiu took out a silk handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and said, "The weather is hot now, don't run like this anymore, be careful of heatstroke."

Shen Jieran saw that the other children were all tanned, and touched Qi'er's little head and said: "If you want to run, you have to find some shady place. Qi'er took the little friends to play under the big tree."

Qi'er still hugged them and did not let go, saying solemnly, "Qi'er is not going, Qi'er is done playing, and I want to accompany father and daddy!"

The two fathers looked at each other, feeling guilty.It's not that Qi'er wants to accompany them, it's that they should accompany Qi'er.

Yuan Lingxiu leaned over to hug him, but Shen Jieran was a step ahead, dragging Qi'er's butt with one hand, and holding the waist of the people around him with the other.Yuan Lingxiu was used to being embraced by him and didn't feel anything wrong, so he could only say: "Then it's settled, Qi'er will play with father and father."

"En!" Qi'er hugged Shen Jieran's neck, bared her baby teeth at him, and smiled again.

Shen Qionghua has been looking out through the window in her own room.

She couldn't take her eyes off the cute look of the little fairy boy carved in pink jade who was having fun outside.Thinking that it was Erzhu's son, I fell in love with him even more.

But now, looking at the slender and straight figure next to the tall man, and seeing the appearance of their family of three, she suddenly understood something, and couldn't help but lose her mind.

At this time, Dongxue came out from the kitchen, and Zhang Xianzhong followed her with a big pot.

After all, Dong Xue is the eldest girl of the Shen family, she has learned cooking skills from her master since she was a child, and she is very good at cooking.Ever since she accompanied Shen Qi to this village, she basically took over the Shen family's kitchen.

She stepped forward and said to Shen Jieran and the others: "Master, I made some mung bean sweet soup to relieve you from the heat."

Shen Jieran took a look and exclaimed, "Such a big pot!"

Dong Xue said with a smile: "There are so many people, and there are those young master's playmates. They were ordered by the young master himself."

Qi'er rubbed her hands in embarrassment.

Zhang Xianzhong said: "Don't stand still, hurry up, this thing is old and heavy!"

Chang Yu, who was watching Shen Ji and Chen Xiaozi playing chess under the tree, turned his head and said at this time, "It's tiring to ask you to order something! How dare you complain about being tired in front of Miss Dongxue? Young people just don't need exercise! Old man, what do you think?" Isn't it?"
