Do not kiss the king

Baguio sat up, opened her mouth and drank the medicine from the spoon.

"Yaoyao, what I said in the carriage last time..."

Ruan Yuan put the spoon back into the bowl, and was about to scoop up another spoonful, but the little girl grabbed his sleeve lightly.

When she looked up again, two lines of tears appeared on the little girl's pale face.

"Before entering the palace, didn't the concubine herself say that she would be scared and lonely..."

She tightly grasped Ruan Yuan's sleeve, her voice was trembling,

"The palace is so scary, so many people want to kill you, so many people want to harm you, how can I go away by myself and leave you alone."

"We've been together for so many years."

Ruan Yuan's pupils trembled violently, he put the medicine bowl on the table next to him, stretched out his arms and gently wrapped around the little girl's body,

"It's because we've been together for so many years that I can't continue to watch you sacrifice for me."

"Yaoyao, you are the family member I care about most."

"I am the happiest when you live happily and carefree."

Baguio's chin was pressed tightly against his shoulder, weeping weakly, trying to say something to keep him, but he couldn't.

"Don't worry, I will be fine after you leave."

"I still have the prince and Zhihua."

Ruan Yuan rubbed her hair, straightened up, and put the medicine bowl back in his hand, although his eyes were red, the corners of his mouth were raised.

At this time, a servant girl knocked on the door and said that the prince asked the princess to go to the study.

Ruan Yuan stood up, handed the medicine bowl to the maid who came in, turned around before leaving, and took a deep look at the little girl who was out of breath from crying.

He walked outside the study in one breath, and saw Chi Jinnian standing by the small bamboo forest from a distance, with his hands behind his back, his long black hair swaying in the wind.

Ruan Yuan walked over and obediently stood beside him.

Chi Jinnian turned around, and the moment his eyes fell on his face, his eyes softened a lot.

"The affairs of that maidservant have been arranged."

"After she recovers from her injury, the current prefect of Luozhou will recognize her, and this king will personally marry her to your brother."

Ruan Yuan opened his eyes wide in surprise, Chi Jinnian met his gaze, smiled,

"Why, I thought this king couldn't see what happened to them."

The winter wind blows on the cheeks, but it is warm.

Ruan Yuan raised a restrained but surprised smile, leaned over and saluted.

Chi Jinnian lifted his arm to pick him up, and pulled him into his arms. The dumb princess melted into a pool of clean snow in the tiny snowflakes, and subconsciously laid her head on the man's solid chest.

"You are my wife."

"Whatever you want, whatever you want to do, I will do my best."

When Chi Jinnian said this, his eyes dimmed a little, covering up in the white sky, without showing any traces.

"Tomorrow, follow me somewhere."

Ruan Yuan could hear the deepness in his tone, his long eyelashes fluttered, and his fingers clenched a little unconsciously.

After dealing with Baguio's affairs, another familiar but dim figure suddenly appeared in my heart.

They used to talk about everything, childhood sweethearts.

Now he is the aloof Princess Jin, and he is a prisoner at the mercy of others.

---------

Ruan Yuan got out of the carriage, put his hand on the palm that Chi Jinnian offered, and let him lead him up the steps, step by step.

When he reached the top of the tower, there was a gust of cold wind blowing in front of him, Ruan Yuan shivered, and subconsciously slammed into the person next to him.

The tall man asked him to stand next to him, put an arm around his shoulder, and led him to the highest point of the tower to stand there.

Ruan Yuan raised his eyes to look at Chi Jinnian's sharp side face, and saw his gaze down, so he followed his gaze to look down the tower.

The heart stagnates, the cold wind pours into the nasal cavity, and it hurts to breathe.

He saw two prison wagons, drawn by horses, leaving a long, glaring trail in the snow.

He saw that figure from the back, wearing a thin white prison uniform, sitting in the car, with long hair loosely hanging down.

Must be frozen.

Ruan Yuan turned his face sideways, met those deep eyes, opened his lips slightly, and it took a long time to make a sound, but it was only a few hoarse sounds, not even a complete sentence.

"The woman named Lian Junqiu was executed on the spot in the temple."

"The rest of the Fang family will be exiled to Youtong."

Ruan Yuan turned his face sideways, his gaze fell heavily on Fang Shiyun's head,

"The rest of the Fang family..."

"Where is Mistress Fang..."

Chi Jinnian glanced at him, paused,

"In prison."

Ruan Yuan suddenly grabbed his sleeve and burst into tears, the tears that gushed out almost turned into frost under the icy world.

"Ah...ah..."

His emotions seemed uncontrollable, and some indistinct cries overflowed from his throat, and then he buried his head in Chi Jinnian's chest as if asking for help.

After a long time, the crying became quieter, and he was finally able to speak a complete sentence.

"Compared to my biological mother, Mistress Fang... is my mother..."

Chi Jinnian suddenly hugged him a little tighter, and a few snowflakes fell on his face, turning into water and flowing down.

"Don't be afraid."

Chi Jinnian raised his face with one hand, and watched several snowflakes blown by the wind, sticking to his slightly curly eyelashes, "I'm the same as you, without a mother."

"In the future, you have me and I have you, that's enough."

Ruan Yuan's expression was a little dazed, tears fell out of his eye sockets unconsciously, the eye sockets were dyed a layer of plum red, with sparse snowflakes, like a fairy born from the snow.

He looked straight into Shangchi Jinnian's eyes,

"Why didn't you kill Fang Shiyun...?"

"Didn't Jin Lang always want his life?"

Chi Jinnian glanced down the city tower, and his deep voice melted a lot of snowflakes that hit,

"There was a reason to kill him before."

"Nowadays, there are reasons not to kill."

Ruan Yuan touched his chest with one hand, and subconsciously clenched the piece of clothing. There were emotions intertwined and surging in his heart, and there was something he had been longing for for a long time, chasing and touching.

"This reason, is it... me?"

Chi Jinnian lowered his gaze slightly to meet his eyes, and the frightening lips at the first glance, now that he looked at them again, became a rough jade carved by God himself.

"As long as you beg me not to kill him, I will hang his body on the city gate."

"Let him go now because in your heart, I am better."

---------

"My lord, is it true to let Fang Shiyun go?"

Li Wuyue took a step back, supported the table with her hands, and looked at the silent man in front of her in disbelief.

"Who is Fang Shiyun, how could the prince let him go like this..."

"It's because Mr. Ruan..." Li Wuyue was agitated, her beautiful eyes trembling with sadness, "Because he didn't want Fang Shiyun to die?"

Chi Jinnian put his gaze on her face, without any waves in his tone,

"I know what I do, I don't need you to remind me."

"Ruan Yuan is the princess, not Mr. Ruan."

Li Wuyue clenched her fists when she heard this, and shouted loudly, "Chi Jinnian!"

Chi Jinnian glanced at her gaffe, still expressionless, "I didn't come here to see you go crazy."

"You talk more than before. If you want to go back to Xiangfu, I'll send you back."

Li Wuyue bit her lower lip tightly, the emotions that had been suppressed for many years surged in her chest and became hot, but it turned into a drop of tears that didn't have time to fall, hanging in the eye sockets in the air, and was taken out of the door by her steps.

At this moment, Gu Cong walked in, took a look at her back, then bowed down respectfully to the man,

"My lord, it's a bad omen."

"The prince is going out recently, it's better to be careful."

-------

On Yuan Ye, Ruan Yuan sat in the carriage next to Chi Jinnian, listening carefully to the crackling of firecrackers and the noise of children playing outside.

The curtain next to him was suddenly lifted, and the bright lantern light came in, and fell on the picturesque face of the little man, shining brightly on his somewhat surprised eyes.

"Look at it if you want."

Chi Jinnian raised one hand to hold the curtain for him, watching the bright or dark light spots swaying with the bumps of the carriage, the young man raised the corners of his mouth, turned his head like a child, and turned to the lively street scene.

For some reason, he thought of a beautiful caged sparrow, which is beautiful in a gold-rimmed cage, and it would also be beautiful perched on the beams of ordinary people's houses.

"This is the first Shangyuan Festival that Jin Lang and I have spent together."

The little man didn't look back, the pearl hairpin in his hair was dangling and shining.

"Every year in the future, it will be like this."

Chi Jinnian's eyebrows moved, and the corners of his mouth subconsciously raised.

This little thing actually said the oath so plainly and infatuatedly.

He put down the curtain, abruptly cut off the young man's sight, squeezed his shoulders and turned him around, blocked his lips somewhat roughly, put his hand between his throat, and stroked it gently.

"Jin Lang..."

The little boy's voice suddenly became a little hurried, and he stretched out his two hands to wrap around his neck, allowing him to strike at his fair face, which was so obedient that it shocked people's minds.

Chi Jinnian put one hand on the back of his head, between his head and the car window beam, the more he kissed, the more he forgot himself, wishing he could eat him clean.

Suddenly, the carriage trembled violently, and the young man let out an exclamation, and subconsciously squeezed Chi Jinnian's shoulders with both hands.

Chi Jinnian grabbed him firmly and threw him into his arms. His warm eyes instantly cooled down. He opened the curtain amidst the violent turbulence, and saw the horse and the carriage rushing wildly, and the driver was gone. shadow.

"Jin Lang!"

Ruan Yuan grasped his clothes tightly, then loosened them suddenly, put his hands on his shoulders and pushed forward,

"Jin Lang, go, leave me alone!"

Chi Jinnian held his hand firmly, not loosening it at all.

"do not move."

The carriage shook violently and smashed straight into a rouge shop, smashing the wooden shelves that were placed there, and the two people in the carriage also fell down.

In the blink of an eye, Chi Jinnian put his hand on Ruan Yuan's head to protect it, and smashed it on the beam until it was bloody.

"Jin Lang!" Ruan Yuan cried out again, "Leave me alone, go, go!"

His voice was a little higher than usual, wishing he could grab Chi Jinnian's shoulder and throw him away, but unfortunately his body was so weak in front of him.

Seeing that the carriage was about to rush down the river, and the faint smell of blood spread around, Ruan Yuan grabbed Chi Jinnian's collar and cried heartbreakingly.

If he wasn't in the car, Chi Jinnian would be able to get away.

At this time, a warm hand stretched out to cover his eyes, and the darkness was stained with this person's unique calmness, which was unexpectedly reassuring.

"Don't be afraid."

The carriage was still bumping around, the tears were still not in control, but a flower bloomed on the tip of my heart.

In the dark, I heard the sound of someone stepping on a horse, and the cries of passers-by mixed with the rolling wheels disturbed my thoughts, but my eyes were warm.

"Ho——!"

With the yell of reining in the horse, the carriage that had been shaking crazily became quiet, and the long-lost stability brought out his legs softening. Ruan Yuan moved one hand down, landed on Chi Jinnian's chest, and grasped it tightly.

Chi Jinnian moved his hand away, his eyes brightened again, while panting frantically, Gu Cong appeared in sight, sitting on horseback, with a bottle of tranquilizing incense in his hand.

"You can calculate this hexagram accurately, and this king really saw you right."

Chi Jinnian sat upright and raised the corners of his mouth.

Gu Cong turned around, his gaze subconsciously fell on Ruan Yuan's still-shocked face, and then on his hand that was firmly grasping Chi Jinnian's chest, flicked it, and then lowered it respectfully.

"However, how do you know that this horse will be frightened, and there is also a soothing incense."

Gu Cong was startled, and raised his eyes to meet the man's eyes that couldn't see emotion,

"Go back to the prince, in order to deal with various situations, everything is prepared."

He couldn't and didn't want to talk about the dream with foretelling.

After all, the little boy in front of the rouge shop had already gotten into the carriage.

The author has something to say:

Chi Jinnian: "Scared, why did Madam grab my chest?"

Ruan Yuan: "Short hands, this position is more comfortable to hold." [Laughing]

Gu Cong [casts envious eyes]: "That's great..."

(After all, Ruan was originally supposed to be Mrs. Gu)
