Chu Xie breathed a sigh of relief before feeling a little hungry.The little emperor had already prepared food, Chu Xie took a few mouthfuls and then remembered that since he entered the palace, the little emperor had arranged his food and clothing expenses every day, and there was no neglect in every detail.

He still has to be busy with the affairs of the court every day, and supervise the progress of the wedding.

Apart from eating, sleeping and lying down every day, I hardly did anything.

After traveling for more than ten years, it was the first time that I took such a long time to take a break.

Jiang Yanchi said that he wanted to make a long-term plan.

But Chu Xie himself knew that there was no so-called long-term relationship between him and this brat.

He is going back to the present world.

But listening to his tone just now, he said that he would never marry anyone else in his life.

Although he thought it was a youthful spirit, Chu Xie still mentioned, "Your Majesty, I am not in good health, and I am afraid I will not be able to accompany you for a few years."

The little emperor suddenly thought of how this man passed out in his arms last night due to unbearable torture.The hand holding the medicine bowl shook, "What's wrong with you?" Chu Xie shook his head, and he smiled, "No, come on, drink the medicine first."

Chu Xie tried his best to look relieved, "I suffered a catastrophe when I was young. I lost this body early in the morning, and I have earned it to live to this day. I don't feel a loss when I die."

"Are you saying this on purpose to tease me?"

Jiang Yanchi put down the medicine, hugged the body suddenly, feeling the warmth of Chu Xie's body, "Don't worry, and don't think about other things... Don't worry about anything, just stay by my side can."

Chu Xie was drinking half a bowl of candied fruit, smelling the sour and bitter smell of the medicine.He also heard the little emperor ask casually, "You are not the Northern Huns who voluntarily defected, so when you were in the northern border, why did you enter the camp of the Northern Huns?"

He almost choked on the medicine.

"Slow down, don't rush."

Chu Xie drank the medicine slowly, and heard Jiang Yanchi ask someone to remove the bowl while asking, "The Xu family sent you there to negotiate a peace?"

Although the tone was calm, Chu Xie knew that this question was very important, so he couldn't answer it indiscriminately.

"Why do you ask such a question, Your Majesty?"

"I just can't figure out a few things, but I don't want to guess blindly, so I want to hear you tell me."

Jiang Yanchi wiped the medicine stain on the corner of Chu Xie's mouth, his fingertips were slightly hot, "Can you tell me?"

"No." Chu Xie replied, "I'm going by myself."

"why."

"Because I have the confidence to convince Huchier. Because I can't watch the Changming Army and the Northern Huns go head-to-head." Chu Xie repeated, "I'm going by myself."

"Ah."

Xiao Xizi came outside to report, and whispered something in Jiang Yanchi's ear, and Chu Xie saw him nodding his head, Xiao Xizi quickly left.

Chu Xie realized something was wrong.

As for Taoli, I haven't seen that girl since last night.

"Jiang Yanchi, where is my maid?" Chu Xie immediately became alert, "Taoli, where is she?"

Jiang Yanchi frowned lightly, "Which maid."

"Bring her here!" Seeing that he didn't answer directly, Chu Xie felt uncertain about his angry appearance last night, so he raised his hand and grabbed a corner of his sleeve, "I'm going to see her now."

The little emperor stared at him for a while.

Chu Xie was stared at by those eyes so that his heart panicked, and his heart gradually became a little irritated. Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time, his voice sank, "Jiang Yanchi!"

The little emperor got up, and the sleeves in Chu Xie's hands were forcibly pulled out. He saw the sonorous and indifferent expression of the little emperor's back: "She dares to sneak into the banquet hall to inquire about the peace talks, and that is a death penalty."

When Chu Xie heard the word capital crime, his mind suddenly buzzed.

He never thought that Jiang Yanchi would act like this.He sent Tao Li there for a reason, Xiao Xizi knew her, and he had the badge of Chu Mansion on his body, no one would dare to touch her even if the Dong Chuang incident happened.

But now, Jiang Yanchi's indifferent sentence of "death crime" made his heart chill instantly.

Is he trying to make an example, warning him not to stretch his hands too far.

For a moment, Chu Xie's heart ached, his fingertips felt cold, and a piece of grit appeared in his throat, itching as if it had been ground, and he coughed violently.

"you you!"

Chu Xie covered his mouth and supported the edge of the bed, his whole body trembling like chaff.

He picked Taoli when she was a few years old. She has a cute and lively personality, just like Xiaoyin.He brought up that child little by little, and he didn't look like a girl raising her in the Chu Mansion. Anyone with a discerning eye knew how much he valued her.

How dare he, how dare he!

Jiang Yanchi intended to hit him, but he didn't expect Chu Xie's reaction to be so strong. His expression became tense and he immediately supported the precarious body on the side of the bed: "Don't worry! I'm bluffing you, she's fine, I've already taught her Someone sent her back to the Chu Mansion!"

"Cough...cough...cough..."

The coughing sound shook the lungs.

"It's true, if you don't believe me, I will call her back to the palace again!" Jiang Yanchi shouted anxiously, "Xiao Xizi, go and call that little girl back to the palace again, immediately!"

Chu Xie coughed a lot, and his originally pale face turned crimson like a peach blossom, especially a little bit of red lips glistening.

It looked very much like the red makeup on the day when she first entered the palace.

Chu Xie gave Jiang Yanchi a gouged look, then pinched his wrist in a warning manner: "You, don't touch her!"

The little emperor smiled wryly, "When did I touch the people around you?"

Looking at Chu Xie's furious look, he murmured, "You really value her." Suddenly, he frowned as he thought of something.

"If you don't like men, then do you like women?"

His eyes swept over suddenly, with a bit of coolness.

Chu Xie was speechless and asked the sky, what's the matter with this little emperor, how could he have such a useless temperament, he doesn't want to worry about urgent matters every day, and only grasps the details.

"She's only 15 years old!"

"En." The little emperor responded, raised his hand and brushed Chu Xie's hair that was disheveled by a violent cough just now, and then said with a slight smile, "Ah Xie, we are getting married tomorrow."

"..."

"I'm very happy."

"..."

That hand turned to cover Chu Xie's cheek, and the cool touch seemed to reach his heart. With the rubbing of his fingertips, even the tip of his heart began to feel a subtle tremor.

"The wedding clothes will be delivered in a while. It's different from yesterday's auspicious clothes. It's red. I like that you wear red... We will wear that wedding dress, drink quilt wine, and then we will be counted as real husband and wife. Ah Xie , after tomorrow, we will be the closest people to each other in this world, a family."

"No matter how turbulent your life was, no matter how many hearts you calculated before you came here and before me...From now on, you don't have to work so hard." The other hand held He took it, "There is no need to stain these hands with blood, you just need to trust me and rely on me, I will fulfill all your wishes for you, okay?"

family.

Chu Xie chewed these three words in his heart.

no.He has only one family and she is still waiting for him to come home.

"As high as tomorrow, the sun and the moon, the closest relatives, the closest husbands and wives." Chu Xie said indifferently, causing the hand to close suddenly and hold him tightly, "Only those who are connected by blood are family members. Your family is Madam Duan, not me."

The little emperor supported one of his shoulders, and put his face against his shoulder blades, he could faintly hear his heartbeat, and the two of them overlapped with each other.

"She will be your mother in the future. The three of us are a family. When everything subsides and we survive this period, I will bring her back to Shangjing..."

"Have you ever thought that she may not be suitable for going to the capital at all." Chu Xie said suddenly.

"That's because going to the capital is too dangerous for her now." Jiang Yanchi frowned and replied, "The current situation is pressing. If I secure the throne, everything will be fine..."

Chu Xie was silent for a while.

When Jiang Yanchi thought that he was frowning because he was worried, he comforted, "Don't worry, Ah Xie, I will protect you."

"I don't need your protection."

Xiao Xizi said outside that the wedding clothes had been delivered, breaking the silence in the house.The little emperor's expression softened slightly, and he ordered people to bring in the wedding clothes first.It just so happened that Taoli was sent to wait on Chu Xie to change clothes just after she was taken into the palace.

Jiang Yanchi had already summoned Xu Chunmu into the palace, because Chu Xie had been looking at this side since he woke up.

Right now, taking advantage of Chu Xie's time to change clothes and tie his hair, he went to the side hall of the meeting hall. Xu Chunmu had been waiting inside for a long time, and when he saw him, he bowed in vain: "Your Majesty."

Just now, he didn't find out much from Chu Xie. Now that Jiang Yanchi saw Xu Chunmu, he didn't intend to exchange greetings. He took a sip of hot tea to moisten his throat, and asked straightforwardly.

"What happened to the peace negotiation in Nagano County?"

Bad tone.

Xu Chunmu was not unreasonable, he knew that Jiang Yanchi would ask him to clarify the matter as early as after the Northern Hungarian envoy said something in the banquet hall.

Therefore, he had already had a rhetoric in his heart, and he did not panic in the moment.

"I asked Chu Zhangyin to negotiate a peace."

"Oh?" The little emperor held the steaming hot tea in his hand, and the sweetness and bitterness in his mouth was particularly refreshing, "Why?"

Xu Chunmu couldn't help thinking that he was seriously injured at that time, and Chu Xie had to take the risk to negotiate a peace in order to prevent himself from going to the battlefield.

He knew he couldn't tell the truth, or the soon-to-be empress would be in endless trouble.

He must give priority to ensuring that Chu Xie's life will be easy from now on.

These many things may really be like a cloud of smoke, maybe this life can only rot in the coffin.

Will you regret it?

Naturally.

The decision to turn back in Huaiqi County, Xu Chunmu never imagined that it would be such a painful parting.

One thought is a miss.

"I am afraid of war."

Xu Chunmu sincerely admitted his mistake, "At that time, facing the overwhelming Northern Hungarian soldiers and horses, and seeing the retreating western cavalry. I was worried that the Xu family would end up in the same end as King Ningyuan, so I hope...to delay the war through peace talks. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a test or not. I’m asking Chu’s palm seal to find a way, whether I can defeat the enemy’s soldiers without fighting, and relieve the plight of the soldiers in the thirteen counties in the north.”

Jiang Yanchi narrowed his eyes slightly.

"For this, I am willing to accept any punishment."

Xu Chunmu led the army for the first time at the age of 13. He has suffered few defeats in the past ten years, and he will be afraid of war.

I'm afraid it wasn't his father Xu Chengjin's idea.Xu Chunmu didn't want to pour the sewage on his father, so he could only admit it to himself.

"Then have you ever thought about what would happen if the negotiation fails for a person like him who can't even hold a knife." The emperor's voice was a bit chilly, "You Xu family forced him to the enemy camp, it will be completely Don't you care about his life?"

Xu Chunmu said softly, "We have to act in a hurry, we can only consider the overall situation. My minister... there is one more thing that must be clarified with His Majesty."

There are other things.

"You said."

"When I was in Huaiqi County, Zhao Lingqu, the deputy general who defended the city, wanted to kill Chu's palm print. I saw it with my own eyes." Xu Chunmu glanced at the little emperor's expression from the corner of his eye, and he really saw his eyes sink, "Chu The enmity between the palm print and that Vice-General Zhao is not groundless. What Chu palm print said is also true, the strategy for defending the city that day was indeed thought up by the minister."

Xu Chunmu gave a salute neither humble nor overbearing, "Chu's palm seal said that soldiers and horses cannot continue to go south, so I turned into a counselor and dedicated my strategy to Zhao Lingqu, who was leading the army for the first time. This is how we won the battle of Huaiqi."

The emperor's face was always calm, and he couldn't see how he thought about these words.

"Although some things sound absurd, they are true. Chu Zhangyin is not someone who wields power for no reason, but Zhao Lingqu instead. It is indeed strange. I hope His Majesty treats it with caution."
