This shadow guard is kinda nice

All the guests from various countries were arranged in an inn in Lin'an City. Zhao Tingzheng sat in the inn for a while, then opened the door to go out, but was stopped by Xiao Yi'an who just came up.

"Why go?"

Zhao Tingzheng frowned and said, "I'll go find him."

Needless to say, Xiao Yi'an also knew who he was. He raised his eyebrows lazily, and closed the door, "Are you looking for him? Can you talk to him now? Just look for him."

Xiao Yi'an sat down in front of the window, a large piece of afterglow slanted down, Zhao Tingzheng stood where he was, without moving.

Yes, he was impulsive.

What can he do now?Mo Ran no longer remembers him, he is now King Rui of Southern Chu, not the former Mo Ran.

Xiao Yi'an folded his arms casually, he looked at Zhao Tingzheng's back, but Mo Ran's cold and arrogant look was in his mind.

He smiled suddenly, and had to admit that Mo Ran was more attractive than it was five years ago.

He suddenly wanted to know, if Xiao Yichen saw Mo Ran now, would he regret letting Mo Ran stay in Southern Chu for the past five years, and Mo Ran, no, it should be Chu Jiuxiao, would it be the same as the current painting when he saw Xiao Yichen? Cold and arrogant?

After a long while, Zhao Tingzheng turned around and sat down in front of the table slumped, Yu Hui coated him with a layer of gold, Xiao Yi'an laughed, he was still a child.

"Hurry up and write a letter to Xiao Yichen and tell him to come to Nanchu. If he doesn't come, his wife will run away with others."

Xiao Yi'an recalled that when he saw Mo Ran today, the man next to Mo Ran was either rich or expensive, and more importantly, judging from Xiao Yi'an's vision of having been in the romantic place for many years, that man was definitely interested in Mo Ran .

The eyes looking at Mo Ran are so gentle that water can drip.

It's just that Mo Ran was puzzled and kept expressionless.

Hearing this, Zhao Tingzheng stood up immediately, swept away his weakness, grinned, and said yes, how could I have forgotten this.

It doesn't matter if you forget them, as long as you don't forget Xiao Yichen.

……

Chu Jiuxiao and Zhong Mengze came out of the restaurant together. The two stood still in front of the long street. The pedestrians passing by did not affect them at all. Zhong Mengze glanced at the sky and the profile of the people around him. He suddenly felt a little nervous.

"Jiuxiao, would you like to sit at my house?"

Chu Jiuxiao turned his head, ignoring the look of anticipation on his face, and said lightly, "No."

He refused so simply that he didn't even bother to give a reason.

Zhong Mengze suppressed the sourness in his heart, and told himself, it doesn't matter, Jiu Xiao is such a person, when did you think he went to someone else's appointment?Although he has been a little indifferent to himself these past few years, at any rate, today he said that he wanted to go outside Lin'an City, so he accompanied him here. How can others have such an honor?

Be content, the relationship between them has made great progress, don't rush, take your time, he will always get what he wants.

Thinking about it, Zhong Mengze smiled and concealed the obsession in his eyes. He said to Chu Jiuxiao, "I was the one who was abrupt. Thank you for accompanying me to the outside of the city today."

Chu Jiuxiao shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.

"Then come here, I'm going back, see you another day."

Chu Jiuxiao nodded, "See you later."

After Chu Jiuxiao finished speaking, he turned around and left. Zhong Mengze stood still. When Chu Jiuxiao's figure completely disappeared from his field of vision, he turned around and left in the opposite direction.

Chu Jiuxiao went all the way back to the palace, raised his head and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, which dispelled some of the heat.

Zhuo Yuan, the little eunuch who was serving by his side, just came in from the outside, and when he saw this, he groaned, "Your Highness, why are you drinking herbal tea again? Your health is critical."

After Zhuo Yuan woke up from his serious injury, Chu Yunhe asked to wait by his side, and it has been five years now.

"It's okay, it's a little hot."

"The Seventh Prince is here to see you today." Zhuo Yuan didn't bother about herbal tea or not, he removed all the herbal tea from the table and replaced it with a freshly brewed pot.

Chu Jiuxiao flipped through the little story book thrown on the table yesterday, and asked casually, "Why is he here?"

"I said I want to hang out with you. I said there are many guests outside Lin'an City today. It should be fun."

The book in Chu Jiuxiao's hand turned another page, and then he let out an oh.

He also went out of the city today, and apart from seeing two strange people, there was nothing interesting about it.

Fortunately, before he went, he always felt that he would go for a while. It was very inexplicable. There was a voice in his heart urging him to go. Out of curiosity, he accepted Zhong Mengze's appointment and went outside the city with him, otherwise he would not have Promise Zhong Mengze something.

Another page of the book was flipped by his fingertips, and even the two strange people were left behind by him. Zhuo Yuan leaned over to take a look, his eyes rolled, and suddenly said: "Your Highness, the servant is here There are still many small story books, do you want to read them? This servant in your hand has also read it, and I don’t think it’s interesting.”

"Huh?" Chu Jiuxiao raised his eyes, and Zhuo Yuan immediately said, "The servant will get it for you now."

Chu Jiuxiao rested his head on one hand, and watched Zhuo Yuan run out and in lazily. He was actually not interested in these small stories, he was just bored and just passing the time.

Zhuo Yuan held a stack of short story books and put them all on the table, he took one from the top and introduced it to Chu Jiuxiao enthusiastically: "This is a short story book about our prince and general. "

"It's disgusting. When the slave watched it at night, he even cried and wet the pillow."

Zhuo Yuan took the second book and said: "This is also about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." He raised the tail of his eyes, very proud, "I have collected a lot of small story books, all of which are treasures."

Chu Jiuxiao: "..."

Chu Jiuxiao was not in the mood, and just about to send him to take away all the small stories, Zhuo Yuan said again: "Not only our Southern Chu, but also Daliang's."

He took out a book from it and showed it to Chu Jiuxiao.

"This belongs to Emperor Liang," and then he quickly shook his head and said, "No, no, it should be the time of King Xuan." He took a small storybook and looked at it carefully. Looking at the smiling woman next to her, the overbearing prince fell in love with me written in big characters beside her.

"It was several years ago, and the servant still keeps it."

Chu Jiuxiao was stunned for a moment. When he heard King Xuan, his heart skipped a beat, but the next moment, when he saw the man on the cover embracing the woman, he frowned almost invisible.

He didn't listen to what Zhuo Yuan said next, and he didn't even know what he was thinking. Finally, Zhuo Yuan saw that he was really not interested, so he stopped in disappointment, and silently put away the loose powder on the table. All kinds of small story books.

Fengshen's handsome face was still swaying in front of Chu Jiuxiao, and there was a rough outline in his mind, but no matter how he thought, he couldn't figure out what that person looked like.

By coincidence, he took away the "The Domineering Prince Falls in Love with Me" among a pile of short story books.

Zhuo Yuan swept away his depression and beamed with joy.

I still like to read short stories.

After a while, Chu Jiuxiao closed the small story book with a blank face. It was too ridiculous. He threw it aside and said, "Take it away."

Zhuo Yuan couldn't stop nodding, without saying a word, he picked up a pile of short stories and left.

Chu Jiuxiao: "..."

The sky gradually darkened, Chu Jiuxiao and Chu Yunhe had dinner together, before leaving, Chu Yunhe asked him, "How about going outside the city today?"

Chu Jiuxiao was not surprised that he knew his whereabouts, and just said, "It's okay." He didn't say that he met two strange people.

Chu Yunhe nodded, "Okay, go back and rest earlier."

Chu Jiuxiao looked back at Chu Yunhe for a while. Chu Yunhe has been very busy these few years. His father is not in good health. It is Chu Yunhe who has been worrying about state affairs. That's it. He talked and ate with him, fearing that he would not get used to staying in Nanchu, so he always accommodated himself.

He is about to ascend the throne, Chu Jiuxiao suddenly thought.

"You should also rest earlier." After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't be too tired."

Chu Yunhe was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, and said, "Okay, I will rest earlier."

He always called himself me in front of Chu Jiuxiao.

Chu Jiuxiao returned to his palace, Zhuo Yuan arranged the clothes and cloth towels, he bowed and retreated, Chu Jiuxiao was the only one in the palace.

He took off all his clothes and stepped into the hot spring.

This was Chu Yunhe bringing in hot spring water in the hall, and Chu Jiuxiao never liked being served by others close by, so when taking a bath, he would wave everyone away.

The warm water flowed over his body, Chu Jiuxiao put his hands on one side, leaned his head against the edge of the pool, closed his eyes, and gradually relaxed his body.

When the heat came up, Chu Jiuxiao felt a little drowsy. For some reason, he remembered the little storybook he read in the evening, and he began to feel uncomfortable again.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his dark pupils were dark, and his heart was rarely irritable.

He got up from the pool, stepped out, splashed a lot of water, barefooted, dried his body with a cloth towel, and changed into his underwear.Coming out from behind the screen, he lay on the bed, and took out from under the pillow the jade pendant that he took off from his waist just before soaking in the hot spring.

The texture is lustrous and cool to the touch, Chu Jiuxiao looked at the faint brilliance of the jade pendant through the moonlight.

There are two jade pendants on his body, this one was brought to him when he woke up, and the other was given to him by Chu Yunhe later, with the totem of the phoenix on it.

Maybe because the jade pendant was on his body when he woke up, he preferred to have this in his hand, and he would take it out and rub it in his hand from time to time, as if this would reduce the boredom in his heart a lot.

Although he never knew why, when he held the jade pendant in his hand, he always felt inexplicably at ease.

He never hated this feeling, and even liked it a little bit.

……

When Xiao Yichen received Zhao Tingzheng's letter, it happened that Lin Sheng was also at the side. He secretly took a look, but he didn't see anything. He only watched Xiao Yichen's expression change several times, and finally he sighed.

"I'm going to Nanchu."

Lin Sheng was startled, almost staggered and fell to the ground, "Are you serious?"

Xiao Yichen nodded.

Lin Sheng was silent for a moment, he knew that Xiao Yichen could only be done by himself, he didn't ask too many questions, he just said to Xiao Yichen: "Don't worry, I'm here."

"After a while, Shen Yinan will come back too."

Xiao Yichen patted Lin Sheng's shoulder, "Thank you."

Lin Sheng laughed, "What are you talking about, thank you."

Xiao Yichen also laughed.

The author has something to say: Xiao Yichen: I gave you a token of love, it must make you feel at ease, right?
