incomprehensible

It was already evening when we returned to Southwest Shuaifu.

Right above the gate of the commander-in-chief's mansion hangs a shiny golden short sword, which is very bright and dazzling. Ye Xuehuan laughed when he saw it: "I wonder why Xuanheng is so confident. It turns out that he brought the golden sword of Dingguo with him." Out."

The Dingguo Golden Sword given to Dingnan Palace by the ancestors of the Yexue family, beheading the faint king and the courtiers below, is a symbol of the royal family's authority and trust in the Nanfu. It was hung on the gate by Bai Houhou like this. I don't know who gave it to her. idea.

The entire commander's mansion has been taken over by the Dingnan Army, while Bai Houhou has taken over the commander's seal, and is still suppressing it at the frontier army station.Although most of the southwestern frontier troops are members of the Liu family, Liu Ran's own soldiers are few, and almost the entire army has been wiped out by Wei Yan. The pressure on Bai Houhou's side is not great, and he has captured a few of Liu Ran's confidantes. , is killing chickens and monkeys.Seeing Ye Xuehuan coming back, her personal guard who stayed at the commander's mansion respectfully brought another shy bracelet over.Ye Xuehuan took out the one that Wei Yan gave him, and asked Lan Qi to put it on himself, scolding him: "Nanfu's keepsake is just a joke, there will be no next time, do you hear me?"

Lan Qi knew he was wrong, so he could only nod obediently.

Both of them were drenched, blood-stained, and extremely embarrassed; the servants had prepared medicines, water, and clean clothes in the room, but Wen Luo had never come over, probably because of Ye Xuehuan's special orders.Lan Qi was anxious to see the wound on his shoulder, but Ye Xuehuan refused to let him, and squeezed his chest lightly, and asked narrowly, "Do you know what you look like now?"

Lan Qi's plain white blouse was soaked in water, and the skin under it was clearly visible. There were two pink dots looming on her chest, which immediately protruded when Ye Xuehuan pinched her, looking extremely slutty.Lan Qi was annoyed that he was still in the mood to joke at this time, but looking at the wound on his shoulder, he couldn't get angry, so he had to put the small bag on his waist on the table and change his clothes first.

Ye Xuehuan had noticed the small bag on his waist a long time ago, and he didn't pay attention to it before, but now he looked at it again, the bulging little cloth bag seemed to be trembling, so he took off his wet clothes in a moment of curiosity After that, he reached in and grabbed a wet, black fluffy ball huddled inside.

When Lan Qi took the kitten away in a moment of resignation, he probably didn't expect such a big mess to happen later. After struggling in the heavy rain for a long time, he almost forgot that he was carrying a living thing on his back.The kitten was packed in the bag and was bumped so badly that it didn't dare to move, so it could only shrink into a ball, wishing it could shrink itself out of sight.At this time, Ye Xuehuan suddenly grabbed it by the back of the neck, the whole cat was in a daze, its fur was sticking to its body, it looked even thinner and smaller, with its tail tightly clamped, pitifully with Ye Xue Huan stared with big eyes, it seemed that half of his life had been tossed away.

"... Lan'er." Ye Xuehuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "You hid outside and gave birth to a son for me?"

Lan Qi turned around and saw his half-smile expression, felt aggrieved for no reason, took the kitten in his hand, wrapped it in a small blanket and put it aside.The kitten managed to find a safe hiding place, and immediately shrank into the blanket, and was afraid that it would not come out in a short time.

Lan Qi knelt down in front of him and said intentionally, "It was abandoned."

Ye Xuehuan's eyes really darkened, thinking that he had been out alone for half a month, lonely, thinking that he was abandoned, and even picked up a kitten to depend on each other; Knowing that he was deliberately selling misery to deceive sympathy, she complied with him, pressed the back of his neck, bowed her head and kissed him hard.

"Your Highness... um... first let me... hurt..."

Ye Xuehuan didn't want to give him a chance to speak at all, so he almost gnawed his lips, and then said with a low smile, "I really wish I could just keep your mouth shut like this for the rest of my life."

Lan Qi ignored his teasing, and carefully wiped off the water and blood on his body.The wounds caused by the scuffle had been soaked white by the rain, but they were all minor injuries, only the one on the right shoulder was particularly hideous, the flesh was turned out, and it was still oozing blood, but he was still talking and laughing freely, as if he didn't know what to do. I feel pain.Lan Qi pursed his lips, took off a shy bracelet, unfolded it into a blade, cut open his left wrist, and placed it on Ye Xuehuan's right shoulder.

The sweet fragrance wafted out, and the gurgling blood fell into the wound, immediately like the spring rain moistening the dry land, it was absorbed by the injured skin and flesh, and the new texture connected the torn wound at a speed visible to the naked eye , It healed completely in a short time, not even a scab, if not for a flesh-pink trace, it would be as if it had never been injured.

Although they all knew the effect of Deed Gu, but seeing it with their own eyes is two different things.Ye Xuehuan clearly felt the changes in his body. The pain in the wound, the numbness of his right arm, and even the powerlessness caused by blood loss were quickly disappearing, and his spirit and strength were gradually recovering; while Lan Qi's face became more and more serious. He was getting paler and paler, and there was such a shallow scratch, but he was bleeding continuously, as if he had injected his own vitality into his body, and continued to dedicate until his wound was completely healed.

——This is the so-called vulnerability to injury. What the host suffers is not the direct pain, but the weakness after the injury.As much blood as the owner of the contract goes out, the host will make up for it; if the owner of the contract loses his life, the host will replenish his life and exchange his life for his life.

Both of them stared at the healing wound, thinking about each other, leaving only an anxious silence spreading.Ye Xuehuan knew what Lan Qi was thinking at a glance, so he put on his outer robe to cover all the wounds on his body, and said softly, "It's all minor injuries, it's unnecessary."

He stretched out his arms to hug Lan Qi in front of him, grabbed his left wrist, and bandaged him with medicine.

He knew that Lan Qi was really frightened. An arrow wound of this degree was not too serious for him, but Lan Qi wanted to fill his wound with his own life.As the commander of the Northwest Frontier, he is always injured, and it is impossible for him to have enough time to recuperate slowly every time he is injured.Lan Qi is his last resort to save his life, so he will not refuse Lan Qi's blood.This time, he just wanted to see the specific effect of deed Gu, but he had to be cautious in the future, and even if it was a last resort, he had to make sure that both himself and Lan Qi lived well.

This is the unique and unsolvable karma between them, not allowing Lan Qi to trigger the Deed Gu is just another sense of escapism, and it is a waste of the hardships he has endured for 14 years.He can understand Lan Qi's mood very well, and he is also very reluctant to let his kitten be injured and bleed, but there are no eggs under the overturned nest. If he falls down and Lan Qi loses shelter, it will not be as simple as bleeding some blood.Both of them are aware of this, and they both know the benefits and benefits, so they can only let go of this kind of "reluctant" soft-heartedness, and seek great success with small sacrifices.

For ordinary people, this is the ruthlessness of nobles; but Lan Qi can understand that this is the gentleness that belongs to Ye Xuehuan.

He was dizzy and weak, and he was hugged softly in his arms, and suddenly he seemed to have returned to the bright morning after the first meeting.At that time, Ye Xuehuan also had the same expression, his brows were slightly frowned, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, and he used those hands that killed countless enemies to gently and gently treat his wounds, as carefully as he was afraid of hurting him.

At that time, he hadn't planned to entrust his life, and Ye Xuehuan hadn't really been emotional yet, there were only deception, temptation, precaution and calculation between them.When they gradually became intimate, they began to be frightened again, not daring to let Ye Xuehuan know about the dirty past.Now that the words have been spoken, those dark sides that cannot be seen in the bottom of my heart are accepted and tolerated, but I am a little confused; on the one hand, I am secretly happy, but on the other hand, I feel that I should not be forgiven so easily, and the uneasiness in my heart is getting stronger , For the first time in this embrace, I felt at a loss, constantly moving around, but I couldn't find a comfortable position.

"Hey, don't move." Ye Xuehuan tightened his arms, rubbing gently on his bandaged wrist as if comforting, "Your wound is not easy to heal, and if you move around, it will open again. There is already a scar on the knee, Do you want to leave a piece on your wrist too?"

Lan Qi raised his head belatedly, seeing the love and affection in his eyes, as if he had enough courage, blurted out: "Your Highness, I...I have something to say to you."

Ye Xuehuan paused slightly, "Say it."

"I didn't mean to hide it from you." Lan Qi lowered his eyes and looked a little frustrated, "Many things... I don't know."

He took out a small pendant like a golden bean from his sleeve and put it in Ye Xuehuan's palm, "This is another key to the imperial mausoleum. I should use this key to find the things that Empress Chu wants me to find." open."

Ye Xuehuan played with the small and exquisite golden phoenix pendant, frowned, hummed noncommittally, and asked, "What exactly does the empress want you to look for in the imperial tomb?"

Lan Qi shook his head: "I don't know. The Queen of Chu said that once she enters the imperial mausoleum, she will know it at a glance."

Ye Xuehuan was a little speechless, "The queen mother has been dead for so many years, even if you took the things out, who would you give them to?"

Lan Qi shook her head again: "I don't know. Empress Chu said back then that she would never see me in person even if the matter is completed, and someone will take her token to meet her."

Ye Xuehuan sighed helplessly, and asked with the last glimmer of hope, "What token is it?"

Lan Qi still shook his head: "I don't know. I will understand when Queen Chu talks about it."

Ye Xuehuan: "..."

No wonder that no matter what Lan Qi asked that day, he would just shake his head. Dare to feel so sullen, it was all for nothing.

"I also know what an earth-shattering secret that you have to hide for your mother." Ye Xuehuan didn't even know whether to be angry or laugh, "It turned out that you didn't know anything, so you worked for your mother. She promised What are your benefits?"

Lan Qi felt a little guilty for no reason, and lowered his voice, "I was still young at the time, and I just thought... this was a chance to prove myself..."

Ye Xuehuan almost turned her back in anger, her own cunning kitten was so naive as to be foolish, and when she was sold by Queen Chu, she happily counted the money for her and gave it to her with both hands.But after thinking about it, after all, it was his mother who everyone was afraid of ghosts, and Lan Qi could at least talk to her for a while. When he was six years old, he didn't even dare to speak out in front of her. Lost to Lan Qi.

Lan Qi was indeed young at the time, no matter how smart he was, he still lacked the ability to distinguish right from wrong, let alone the sinister human heart, and was encouraged by the Queen of Chu to give his life to death. It seemed that he still admired the Queen of Chu even now. , I really don't know what kind of poisoning it has become.It is precisely because he was poisoned by Queen Chu that he was able to resist Yu Wushuang's poison, and did not worship her as fanatically as other hidden ones.

The two real educators in life are Empress Chu and Yu Wushuang. I really don't know whether Lan Qi should be said to be fortunate or unfortunate.

Lan Qi couldn't explain the matter of awakening the ancestor's imperial mausoleum, so Ye Xuehuan had no choice but to give up, and asked instead: "What about the deed Gu? I am the deed master, why don't I know about it?"

Lan Qi hesitated for a moment, but replied in a low voice: "I watched Empress Chu take blood from His Highness to let me recognize the Lord. At that time, His Highness fell asleep and didn't wake up, I'm afraid it was..."

He didn't say anything, but Ye Xuehuan understood the meaning behind his words, felt a chill suddenly, and said angrily: "The queen mother is doing this kind of thing on me?"

If he had known back then, he would never have agreed, and Empress Chu obviously didn't want to discuss it with him, and directly prescribed medicine to take blood.This is the case for treating one's own parents and children, let alone others.It's hard to judge right from wrong in what Empress Chu did, and most of the time, only when I look back after a long time can I understand her foresight.Ye Xuehuan admired this very much, and inevitably learned a lot of sharp tactics from her, but he really couldn't agree with many things.Empress Chu never seemed to consider other people's feelings, and she didn't expect others to understand her thoughts; but no matter what her purpose was, she was forcibly given this so-called second life by this method, and she was really grateful stand up.

Ye Xuehuan felt a little uncomfortable, and sighed softly: "This is all you know? Are there any secrets between you and me?"

Lan Qi shook his head, lowered his eyebrows and eyes, as if he was waiting to be punished, waiting to be convicted and punished.

"Just such a little thing, you don't want to tell me clearly, because you are afraid that I will hate you." Ye Xuehuan turned him around and sat on her lap face to face, "It's because I didn't protect you well, it wasn't enough I hurt you, but I failed to make you feel at ease, and I still need you to come and say sorry to me."

"14 years... You have suffered this heart-biting pain for 14 years." He caressed Lan Qi's heart, as if he was soothing the tormented heart, his eyes were full of self-blame and pain, " But you don’t even want to tell me a word.”

"When I let you go, what should you feel like... I can't even think about it."

Lan Qi froze and didn't move, allowing him to hold her in his arms, something in his heart was quietly breaking.

"...forgive me, okay?"

His voice was low and deep, with bitterness in his gentleness, which made Lan Qi's nose sore, and he couldn't make any other response except nodding.

"You can be willful, you can lose your temper, you can ask me anything, you can do whatever you want, and I will satisfy you. I just ask you to trust me more, rely on me more, and don't have any worries, okay? "

Lan Qi nodded again.

"You have done enough for me. I don't need you to sacrifice for me. From now on, you just need to be by my side and let me love you, okay?"

nod.

"Anything else, just tell me, okay?"

nod.

"Marry me, will you?"

Lan Qi nodded habitually, and then finally realized what he said, and what he promised.

He raised his head abruptly, and sure enough, he saw Ye Xuehuan's expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile, as if he had succeeded in a trick.

"Your Highness..."

"You are not allowed to call Your Highness any more." Ye Xuehuan cupped his cheek and pecked his lips, "You know my substitution, right?"

He didn't want to hear Lan Qi call him that alienated, indifferent, and respectful title anymore, and he didn't want the unequal relationship between them to continue.He promised Lan Qi that he would give him a home, so naturally he should be called family.

"Why, you don't want to?" Seeing Lan Qi's delay in opening his mouth, he laughed and teased, "The same is true for calling my husband."

Lan Qi's breathing was messy, and it took him a long time to calm down, and said in a trembling voice, "You...don't make such a joke."

Ye Xuehuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly sneered and said, "Who do you think I am, who can make fun of marriages?"

He picked up Lan Qi's leg and slapped him on the buttocks, "Little White Eyed Wolf, you just promised to trust me."

This slap was so hard that Lan Qi's buttocks were so hot that half of Lan Qi's buttocks were so painful, it hurt all the way to his heart, and then to his eye sockets, and his whole body trembled.Speaking of this, the answer is ready to come out, but I am still terrified that I am being sentimental, and I dare not take a step further.

"Don't cry." Ye Xuehuan hugged him tightly, and her tone became more and more resolute, "Say you are willing, say you want to marry me. Say it quickly."

Lan Qi bit his lower lip, the word "willing" was on his lips, but he couldn't make a sound no matter what.He also wanted to blurt it out, but he couldn't give such an impulsive and irresponsible answer.Once he said yes, he would have to bear huge criticism and accusations, while Ye Xuehuan would have to bear even greater pressure and resistance.

No one will agree, and no one will bless.

Of course Lan Qi has selfish intentions, of course he wants to monopolize the person in front of him, but this will undoubtedly cost him too much, and even ruin him.

This road is too difficult, even people like Mo Ran and Ye Xuexun who are at the top of the power do not dare to marry lightly. He had to maintain it carefully, how could he ask Ye Xuehuan to do this for him.

"I know it's difficult, but to me, it's just a matter of time." Ye Xuehuan knew what he was thinking, stroked his back, and said softly, "Five years...no, within three years , I will definitely marry you into the mansion gracefully. You don't have to worry about anything, I will take care of everything, so that the whole world will recognize you as my concubine. Trust me and wait for me obediently, okay?"

Lan Qi was silent for a long time, and finally said in a low voice: "I...I can't tolerate others."

Ye Xuehuan suppressed a smile and replied: "Yeah. I don't marry anyone else, just you."

Lan Qi bit her lip and said again: "I can't reproduce for you either."

Ye Xuehuan nodded without thinking: "I don't want an heir, I just want you."

Lan Qi frowned, "As a prince, how can you..."

"You heard that old man surnamed Jiang talk nonsense." Ye Xuehuan snorted disapprovingly, "I am a royal family, and it is my duty to guard the land and open the borders, govern the country and the people, and pigs have to have litters and litters. I, Ye Xuehuan Clan can win the world, relying on hard work, not having a large number of people. If you really want to, go to the collateral line and pick a few outstanding adoptives."

Lan Qi was at a loss for words, Ye Xuehuan's thinking was really far from that of ordinary nobles, it was very rebellious, but he seemed so righteous that he couldn't refute it.

"If you have any other requirements, please bring them up together." Ye Xuehuan sucked the tip of his ear, and his deep voice carried a certain bewitching taste, "If there is no request, it is considered a deal."

Lan Qi let out a sigh of relief, "Do you really want...to marry me?"

Hearing his unbelievable and repeated confirmation tone, Ye Xuehuan felt it was funny, and couldn't help teasing: "Aren't you selfish and despicable? You promised, I'm yours alone, and you can monopolize me for the rest of your life." .Really don't want to?"

No more excuses to say no.

This time in my life, I was selfish without hesitation, even if the whole world would object, I wanted to give it a go.

——As long as I can stand with him.

"...I am willing." Lan Qi raised his head, his dark eyes flickered with small, eager and joyful flames, "I am willing... to marry Your Highness."

"Good boy." Ye Xuehuan smiled satisfied, "You still want to call Your Highness?"

Lan Qi called softly: "...Rong Cai."

The voice was soft, with a slightly raw and uncertain taste.

"Yeah." Ye Xuehuan stroked his hair, and kissed his forehead lightly, "I'm here."

"Rongcai, Rongcai..."

Looking at those clear phoenix eyes, Lan Qi's light color like glass was full of deep affection that couldn't be melted away, and she felt that something in her heart suddenly collapsed completely.

After so many years of being strong and forbearing, it only takes a moment to collapse.One person has survived for 14 years, and he never seems to have felt hard. However, when someone hurts, all the unspeakable grievances and hardships turn into tears that burst out, breaking down the thick wall of the heart.

Lan Qi lay on Ye Xuehuan's shoulder, almost crying loudly.

Ye Xuehuan sighed softly, wrapped him tightly in his arms, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay to cry out. My little cat has been wronged, and I won't let you suffer again in the future."

The softer he made his voice, the more wronged Lan Qi was, the more miserable he cried, and he choked out of breath.Ye Xuehuan stroked his back to comfort him, kissed his ear pinna delicately, and let him cry wet again as he put on the coat he had just put on.

In the past, I always wanted to peel off Lan Qi's hard shell, and wanted to see his fragile and helpless appearance; but when he really broke down and cried in his arms, he didn't have the satisfaction he imagined at all. My heart was trembling, and I couldn't even say a word of comfort.

He was almost unable to hide the choking in his throat, but he could only resist the soreness in his heart, and persuaded softly in the gap between kisses: "Be good, Lan'er, be good... Lan'er has done a good job these years, and no one can do it." I can do better than Lan'er."

"Don't be afraid, and don't feel dirty. It's not your fault, and you shouldn't be punished. I will pay for all the sins on your body; I will complete all the missions on your body for you. I I will accept your past and take on your future. From now on, you will have me, okay?"

"Um……"

Lan Qi was crying like rain, pulling up his sleeves and wiping his face indiscriminately, but the more he wiped, the more embarrassing he became, the more embarrassing he was, the more he had to wipe, as if he was angry with himself, a childishness he had never had before.Although Ye Xuehuan felt distressed, she suddenly felt like laughing. She hugged him and kissed him, comforting him over and over again: "Don't be afraid... Be good, it's all over..."

He has been suppressed for too long, and he has never confided in anyone; that is certainly his pride and self-esteem, but those grievances and bitterness have been covered in his heart like this, slowly rotting into sores, becoming more and more serious. Pain, more and more untouchable, more and more unspoken.If Qi Yanqing hadn't recognized him, he might have been able to suffer silently for the rest of his life. Those self-loathing would constantly erode and torture him, and he would never be redeemed.Instead, this conflict and farewell became an opportunity, like taking a knife to cut open the scabs that he could not heal, and cut off the rotten flesh that he hadn't touched for many years. Only by draining all the water and crying out all the grievances of many years can he be truly relieved.

With the heavy burden off his body, he can be the real and complete Lan Qi, not the son of a criminal minister or a spy from another country who is bound in the past.

Lan Qi cried for half an hour before gradually calming down, his eyes were swollen from crying, he buried himself in Ye Xuehuan's chest, and wiped his face on the lapel of his shirt.Ye Xuehuan saw his panicked appearance as if he had suddenly lost his composure and was in a hurry to destroy the corpse, and felt so cute, and smiled lightly: "Is it comfortable to cry?"

Lan Qi's voice was hoarse from crying, and with a strong nasal voice, he called softly: "Rong Cai..."

He seemed to feel that he should say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he kept calling "Rong Cai" over and over again.Listening to his hoarse voice, Ye Xuehuan actually had some evil thoughts inappropriately, thinking that in the future, if he achieves the ultimate, listening to him call his name in such a nasal voice with a crying voice, I am afraid that no self-control will be lost. to disappear.

He gently hugged Lan Qi's lips, the usual sweetness and softness mixed with the salty bitterness of tears, but it was even more alluring and delicious. He couldn't help but hugged him tighter and kissed him deeper.

Lan Qi's nose was still clogged, and he couldn't breathe when his mouth was blocked. After lingering for a while, he began to struggle.Ye Xuehuan opened a gap to let him relax for a moment, and then kissed more tenderly, back and forth several times, and finally felt a little satisfied.

He watched Lan Qi nestled in his arms panting, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that this time he finally untied his knot and tied him completely.

He has always been afraid in his heart, afraid that this stubborn kitten will really get into a corner and never come back; or just follow him secretly like this, watching him from afar, and guarding him silently , but he didn't know anything about it, he couldn't hug this soft little body, he couldn't hold this delicate little hand, he couldn't see these deep and clear almond eyes, this kind of suffering was simply unimaginable.

He believed that Lan Qi could not do without him.Leaving Qi Gu aside, Lan Qi has been coddled by him, she will be unhappy without dessert after dinner, will not sleep well without him coaxing her at night, and sometimes even finds fault with the spices hanging around her waist.He may not have noticed it himself, but he has indeed gotten used to being pampered, and has lost the courage and ability to return to solitude. He even can't see other kittens being abandoned, and they have to pick them up and raise them.

Thinking about it this way, the little black charcoal that is still huddled in the blanket with only half of its butt shivering outside seems to be a lot more pleasing to the eye. At least these days, Lan Qi is not completely alone. .

——Except for his side, Lan Qi can't go anywhere, in every sense.

The little black cat, which had been shivering for a long time, finally came to its senses at this moment, and sneaked out of the blanket, trying to climb onto Lan Qi's lap.As soon as a paw stepped on it, Ye Xuehuan noticed it, and stared wide-eyed again.

The kitten seemed to be a little afraid of him, it froze for a while, then silently retracted its paws; after a while, seeing that Ye Xuehuan hadn't moved, it gained courage and crawled into Lan Qi's arms.Lan Qi stroked its head without making a sound, and looked at Ye Xuehuan with a questioning look in his eyes.

Ye Xuehuan looked at the big and the young, and there was such a sense of warmth in his heart, he smiled and said, "How can I not want the son Lan'er gave me?"

Lan Qi pretended not to hear his joke, but hugged her tightly, and her pale cheeks were slightly flushed due to blood loss.Ye Xuehuan liked it so much, she tightened her arms holding him even more, and whispered in his ear: "You hug your son, I'll hug you."
