Gu Yan sent Si Wei away, took off his coat, and lay back on the bed with Ye Zi in his arms.

Ye Zi couldn't calm down at this moment, he hesitated to speak several times.But he had just been cleaned up by Gu Yan, and now he didn't dare to speak easily, and could only stare at Gu Yan.

Gu Yan felt helpless when he looked at him, and said with a smile: "Just say what you want, what are you doing with such an appearance?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips, and said softly, "Que'er...I'm a little worried."

Gu Yan didn't answer.

His palm landed on Ye Zi's lower back, and he squeezed slowly, with just the right amount of strength.

Ye Zi didn't move, and carefully pulled the corner of Gu Yan's clothes: "Zi Cheng, I don't think Que'er is dead."

Gu Yan paused, and said: "That little sparrow is simple-minded, but he is not stupid. Even though the imperial city is dangerous, it should not be difficult for him to protect himself. What's more, if a monster that has become a spirit is really executed Now, it’s impossible not to let out any wind.”

Ye Zi responded and became quiet again.

He was tortured too much by Gu Yan today, his whole body was full of laziness and exhaustion after being satiated, his eyelids were so heavy that he couldn't open them, and he couldn't exert any strength.Ye Zi yawned, feeling sleepy from being rubbed by Gu Yan.

Gu Yan glanced at him, pulled the thin blanket over him and covered him: "Sleep when you're tired, don't push yourself."

Ye Zi opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but he didn't say it.Gu Yan held him in his arms, and whispered in his ear, "Azi, I know what you want to say. In two days, I will make arrangements and we will return to Chang'an."

Ye Zi pulled him back: "Zi Cheng..."

Gu Yan smiled and said, "Why, can't wait for two days?"

Ye Zi bit her lower lip and said in a low voice, "You know that's not what I meant."

They have lived here for more than a month in a blink of an eye, and Gu Yan has already settled the affairs of this place, but he has not mentioned the matter of leaving at all.He allowed the outside world to spread that he was terminally ill and dying soon, and sent several groups of envoys to invite him back to Chang'an, just to stay here with Ye Zi in peace of mind.

If we go back now, wouldn't all of Gu Yan's efforts be in vain?

And... going back this time, can they leave again?

Ye Zi lowered her head and rubbed against Gu Yan's shoulder: "I'm sorry..."

Gu Yan stroked Ye Zi's hair and sighed softly: "A Zi, why don't you understand."

"You never need to tell me these things, and there is no need to feel guilty." Gu Yan said, "For you, I will do anything willingly. Don't say it's just a trip back to Chang'an, it's a sea of ​​swords and flames, I'll just accompany you through it. But what about you?"

Gu Yan raised Ye Zi's face and forced him to look directly at him: "Tell me, are you still not letting go?"

Ye Zi's eyes moved slightly, and she hurriedly avoided Gu Yan's sight: "I didn't..."

"Don't lie to me." Gu Yan gently stroked his slightly red and swollen lips with his fingertips, and said in a low voice, "If I had known earlier that this would be the result of your thinking, I would rather you never know anything."

Ye Zi's heart twitched, and she subconsciously apologized: "I'm sorry, I..."

"Azi." Gu Yan suddenly rolled over and pressed him on top of him, pushing him into the soft bed.His eyes darkened slightly, and his fingertips slipped dangerously onto Ye Zi's neckline, "If I hear these three words from your mouth again, I will definitely punish you severely."

Ye Zi trembled slightly: "I..."

"How should I punish you?" Gu Yan lingered on him for a moment, then said slowly, "I will strip you off, tie you to the head of the bed, separate your legs, and never close them. Then, I will Find something to tie your front, no matter how much you beg, I will not untie it, let you..."

"Zi, Zicheng!" Ye Zi's face was flushed, his eyes were red, and he said embarrassingly, "Stop talking, I don't dare anymore..."

Having seen Gu Yan's means in matters of love, Ye Zi doesn't doubt what he said now.He swallowed, and aggrievedly leaned forward to kiss the other party's lips, flattering him: "I really don't dare, don't treat me like this. You are like this, I am almost tossed to death by you...

"

Gu Yan smiled, bowed his head and kissed him deeply.

"If you really can't do it, you won't try to provoke me." Gu Yan said mercilessly.

Ye Zi was afraid of pain, and couldn't bear to tease him, so she cried and said that she couldn't do it if she was too harsh on him.Gu Yan used to feel guilty and wondered if he had really gone too far.

But recently he finally realized that this person was just saying so.

When it came time to do something, Ye Zi was quicker than anyone else, but relying on his amazing self-healing ability, he would be alive and kicking again within half a day afterwards.After the scar was healed, he forgot the pain, and tried to tease Gu Yan to treat him like that.

He likes that Gu Yan treats him like that.

Ye Zi was exposed by Gu Yan, she didn't dare to pretend anymore, she pursed her lips and said, "Then... remember to be gentle."

Gu Yan: "..."

Gu Yan pressed the center of his eyebrows and said in a low voice, "Azi."

Ye Zi raised his eyes to look at him, and replied softly, "...here."

Gu Yan sighed, and hugged him into his arms: "I'm not joking with you, and you are not allowed to apologize to me again, no matter what the reason is."

Ye Zi responded in a low voice.

Gu Yan paused, and then said: "You persuaded me to let go of myself and stop dwelling on the past. Now I have let go, but why can't you let go? What's more, it wasn't your fault in the first place."

Ye Zi bit her lip lightly, but didn't answer.

He naturally understands what Gu Yan said, but it is one thing to understand, but it is another thing to be able to really have no grievances.

He was sure that if Gu Yan knew the truth in his previous life, he would definitely hate him and never want to see him again.

Even now, Gu Yan knows this, is it really as he has shown, and doesn't care at all?

Ye Zi didn't dare to think about it.

He couldn't accept that Gu Yan had a grudge against him, not even a little bit.

The room was silent for a while, Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Azi, I understand that you still need time. The things that happened in the past must be extremely painful for you. But it doesn't matter, I will accompany you to come out slowly , just like you used to accompany me."

"We've all done some wrong things in the past, you didn't blame me, and I never blamed you. We all learn to let go of these things and let the past go, okay?"

Ye Zi nodded: "Yes."

Gu Yan kissed him lightly on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, little fool, close your eyes and rest for a while, if you are really not tired, I don't mind coming again..."

"No!" Ye Zi shrank to the side, leaning his back against the wall, and said pitifully, "If I do it again, I will die, really."

Gu Yan smiled, leaned forward, and hugged him into his arms: "Don't worry, I won't do anything, okay? Let's rest."

Two days later, the two boarded the carriage back to Chang'an.

Gu Yan pretended to be sick to the outside world, the two of them dared not walk fast, they stopped and walked for half a month before reaching Chang'an.During this period of time, the news that Prince Rui was dying of illness in Jiangnan spread all over the city. Knowing that Gu Yan was about to return to Beijing, many people came to the gate of the city to greet him.

After all, Gu Yan is now considered to be a hero in controlling the flood.

There was still some distance from the city gate, Ye Zi lifted the curtain of the car to look out, then turned around and said, "Emperor Jinghe seems to have sent someone to pick you up, but he really cares about you."

Gu Yan leaned in the car, said "hmm" with a sleepy expression, but didn't speak.

Ye Zi turned his head to look at him, took a box of powder on the table, and touched up the color on his lips: "This should be enough, don't open your mouth for a while, let people take a look from the carriage, you won't be noticed .”

Gu Yan chuckled, and said, "I told you earlier, let Pei Ge make me some decoction, and drink it in a bowl to ensure that others won't see the flaws, why use these messy things."

"No, don't even think about it." Ye Zi flatly refused, "It's hard to get your body back to normal. Once the medicine is applied, won't everything be ruined? I won't let you mess around."

Gu Yan pursed his lips, closed his eyes and said, "Okay, listen to my concubine and don't mess around."

The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the city, and Emperor Jinghe really sent the eunuch in charge to pick up Gu Yan.Ye Zi got out of the car and said a few perfunctory words to him, and said that the prince is sick and can't see strangers, so he only asked the eunuch to visit him under the car.

The eunuch couldn't see anything at a distance, so he escorted them back to the palace without saying anything.

Ye Zi helped Gu Yan get off the carriage, and walked slowly into the palace.It has been almost three months since Ye Zi left Prince Rui's Mansion and came back now.In a blink of an eye, it was early autumn, Chang'an City was full of mid-autumn atmosphere, and the palace was full of autumn colors.

Concubine Rui has been worried ever since she found out that Gu Yan was ill.Gu Yan wrote letters several times to appease her, and only then did she stop her idea of ​​going to Jiangnan to visit.But at this moment, when Concubine Rui saw Gu Yan's sickly appearance, she thought that what Gu Yan said in the letter was lying to her, and she was annoyed and distressed for a while.

Ye Zi had no choice but to appease Concubine Rui for a while, and was held accountable for not taking good care of her before she was released.

On an autumn night with a gentle breeze, Ye Zi shook her dizzy head from the training, pushed the door open and entered the room, and when she looked up, she saw that the culprit had shed his sickly appearance, and was leisurely leaning against the bed, with Made a pot of calming scented tea.

Seeing him come back, Gu Yan waved at him: "Why, you were scolded by my mother?"

"That's not it." Ye Zi walked over with a sad face, "The Taiwangfei's mouth is getting stronger and stronger, and I can't answer a sentence even if I say ten."

Gu Yan hugged him and kissed him naturally: "I have wronged you."

Ye Zi shook his head: "Don't feel wronged, as a parent, you should naturally worry about your own children. We did something wrong in the first place, so we shouldn't lie to her."

"Well, when this matter is over, I will explain the whole story to her personally and apologize to her." Gu Yan said, "What did the eunuch tell you just now, and it took so long."

Ye Zi was silent for a moment, then said: "He told me that the third prince will marry a concubine in seven days, and Emperor Jinghe will issue an edict on the same day to confer him the title of crown prince to win the prize. Let us remember to attend the prince's wedding banquet at that time."

Gu Yan took a sip of his tea and said lightly, "It's just in time for us to come back."

"That's right." Ye Zi was full of thoughts and worried, "I just found a few birds outside and asked them to help me find the sparrow. However, it seems that they haven't seen a sparrow for a long time. I'm a little worried, Zicheng, do you think he will..."

Gu Yan rubbed Ye Zi's hair, and comforted him: "Don't worry, in two days, I will take you to the palace to greet Emperor Jinghe, and meet Gu Xun by the way. Where is the little sparrow, see you Gu Xing knew it."

"it is good."

Ye Zi leaned against Gu Yan's arms, rubbing her head on his shoulder, and after a while, her hands began to be dishonest.Gu Yan grabbed his wrist, put it on his lips and bit it lightly.Ye Zi trembled slightly, but did not escape.

The corners of Gu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, and he deliberately asked, "What's wrong with my concubine?"

Ye Zi pursed her lips, and her voice softened a little when she spoke again: "Zi Cheng, I..."

He really couldn't say what happened next.

Ever since he set off on the road, Gu Yan was worried that Ye Zi would not be able to bear the bumps in the carriage every day, so he insisted on not touching him.

When the two of them lived in the waterside pavilion, they stuck together day and night, knowing the taste by taste, how could they not want to?

Gu Yan didn't seem to understand Ye Zi's meaning at all, and even let him go, got up, took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, and said seriously: "If there is nothing else, let's take a rest earlier. After a long day Lu, you should be tired too."

Ye Zi said angrily, "I'm not tired, I don't want to sleep."

Gu Yan seemed to reply casually: "Oh, what does the concubine want to do?"

"I..." Ye Zi said "I" for a long time, but couldn't say anything, his eyes were red with anger, "Gu Zicheng, you did it on purpose!"

Gu Yan ignored him, went to turn off the lights outside, walked back to the bed, and looked down at Ye Zi: "Why can't I understand what my concubine is talking about?"

In the inner room, there was only a small oil lamp by the bedside, which reflected Gu Yan's side profile more and more deeply.

Ye Zi was moved by seeing it, and hooked Gu Yan's hand to pull him over.Gu Yan didn't move or resist, he let Ye Zi press himself into the bed, bowed his head and kissed jerkyly.

The relationship between them has always been dominated by Gu Yan, but now Gu Yan is not moving at all, and Ye Zi didn't know how to continue.

He leaned on Gu Yan and turned his head impatiently: "Zi Cheng, stop bullying me..."

Gu Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed Ye Zi's face with his fingertips, his gentle voice sounded a bit bewitching: "A Zi, you can get what you want by yourself, how can you always rely on others."

Ye Zi understood what Gu Yan meant, and her neck turned red immediately: "I, I won't..."

Gu Yan said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'll teach you."

The moonlight climbed up the branches, and the palace was quiet and silent, only a few depressing low moans could be heard from Prince Rui's bedroom from time to time.

"Don't... Take it easy, there are still people in the yard..."

"There is no one in the yard tonight, I have already evacuated it."

"You lied to me again... woo, slow down..."

"...It's you who should slow down, are you so impatient?"

Prince Rui returned to Chang'an and recuperated in the mansion for a few more days before entering the palace to meet Emperor Jinghe.Before winter came, there was a charcoal fire burning in Emperor Jinghe's warm pavilion, and his complexion looked not much better than that of Gu Yan who was pretending to be sick.

Gu Yan came in to pay homage, but Emperor Jinghe was the first to excuse him, and asked someone to give him a seat.

After not seeing each other for several months, the voice became extremely hoarse and old.

Gu Yan hesitated, and Xie En sat down.

Emperor Jinghe looked up at the person in front of him, and sighed: "I have been getting worse day by day recently, and I was a little worried when I heard that you fell ill in the south of the Yangtze River. "

Gu Yan coughed lightly, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is blessed and blessed, don't say such depressing words."

Emperor Jinghe's face was pale, and he smiled: "I said the same thing when I came to see me two days ago. You said so, but you know in your heart that I don't have much time to live. Now I will Thinking about it, I can feel relieved to go if Jun'er will be able to take on the responsibility of the great authority as soon as possible."

"His Majesty……"

Emperor Jinghe waved his hand, interrupted his words, and said: "I heard that you saw King Jing in Guangling?"

Gu Yan lowered his eyes and said, "Yes."

Emperor Jinghe asked with concern: "How is he now? I haven't seen him for a long time since the last farewell. However, he didn't like me since he was a child. He likes your father, very much."

Gu Yan's eyes darkened, and his hands hidden in his sleeves slowly tightened.

Emperor Jinghe's eyes wandered far away, as if he was caught in a memory: "I still remember that when we brothers were young, the sixth child liked to follow the eldest emperor brother the most, and wished to cling to him every day. If he was not allowed to see the eldest emperor brother for a day, he could Crying all the way from the bedroom to the prince's mansion."

"When Brother Da Huang died of the epidemic, Lao Liu cried for several days and was seriously ill for half a month before getting out of bed."

When Emperor Jinghe said this, he raised his eyes and looked at Gu Yan: "You look more and more like the elder brother of the emperor, as if carved out of a mold. When he sees you, he should feel some comfort in his heart. When you turn around and get better, I will recall the sixth son back to Chang'an, so we can have a good time together."

Gu Yan responded, "Okay."

Emperor Jinghe paused for a moment, and said, "By the way, there is something about the plague that is not very clear in the book. Yan'er, tell me the truth, how did you find the cure for the plague?"

Outside the Nuan Pavilion, Ye Zi did not enter the Nuan Pavilion with Gu Yan, but waited outside alone.He stood there bored, not long after, he heard a voice behind him.

"Your Highness, His Majesty is meeting King Rui right now, you..."

Ye Zi turned her head, and she really saw Gu Xun walking towards him slowly.

I haven't seen him for a few months, but Gu Xun has lost a lot of weight, and his complexion doesn't look good. The gloom between his brows is a bit more obvious than before, and he feels a little scary when viewed from a distance.

Gu Xun ignored the eunuch, walked to Ye Zi's side, and said, "It turns out that the sister-in-law is back."

Ye Zi responded, and said, "How is Your Highness the Third?"

Gu Ting stared at him fixedly, and after a while, said softly: "Okay, of course it's good."

The little eunuch next to Gu Xun was so anxious that he almost burst into tears, and said: "Third Highness, the servant told you that His Majesty is meeting His Highness King Rui now, so don't let others disturb you, you really can't go in..."

Ye Zi glanced at the eunuch, and said to Gu Ting: "Your Majesty is talking to my lord right now, I'm afraid His Majesty won't be able to see His Majesty for a while. I haven't seen His Majesty for a long time, and I just want to catch up with you. If there's nothing else, can Your Majesty Come with me for a walk outside?"

Gu Xun glanced at him, then raised his eyes to look at Nuan Pavilion not far away, and replied lightly: "Yes."

After finishing speaking, he turned his head and went out the door.

The little eunuch looked relieved, but Ye Zi felt more and more uneasy, and hurriedly followed him out.

Walking out of the gate of the palace, Ye Zi called Gu Xing: "Your Highness, where is Que'er?"

Gu Xun paused, and when he spoke again, his voice was a little hoarse: "I also want to know where he is..."

Ye Zi's heart trembled heavily, and he asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Gu Xing didn't turn around, he tightly held the hand hanging by his side, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's my fault. My mother and concubine discovered the existence of Que'er, and in the name of my father, she took advantage of my busy work, I dismissed all the palace people in my palace, and when I got the news and came back, Que'er had disappeared. I searched everywhere, but I couldn't find him..."

His voice trembled slightly, as if suppressing some painful emotion.

"How come..." Ye Zi couldn't believe it, "Que'er knows magic, he should be able to escape, he shouldn't..."

"No, he's not dead." Gu Xun closed his eyes and said, "Mother Concubine said, as long as I do what she wants, nothing will happen to Que'er."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment: "Is Que'er in... Concubine Yu's hands?"

Gu Zhen turned his head and said calmly: "I have brought down the prince and married the prince and concubine according to my concubine's wish. After I get married, Concubine Yu will release the bird. When that day comes, you will bring him let's go."

"I'll take him away, what about you?"

"Me?" Gu Xun sneered, and looked up at the sky, "I don't even have the face to see him."

"Birds should be flying freely outside, instead of being trapped in the deep palace by me all my life."

When Gu Yan came out from the Nuan Pavilion, Ye Zi was standing in the yard in a daze.He walked over and asked, "What happened?"

Ye Zi came back to his senses, shook his head, and walked out of the palace with Gu Yan.

The two of them were not in a hurry to leave the palace, they strolled in the imperial garden, Ye Zi never said a word.Gu Yan turned his head to look at him, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Ye Zi said: "Just now, I met the third prince."

He told Gu Yan what Gu Xun told him just now, Gu Yan was silent for a moment, and softly comforted: "At least we now know that the little sparrow is still alive, that's enough."

"But..." Ye Zi's eyes darkened, "Is there really no other room for maneuver?"

Gu Yan didn't answer.

He held Ye Zi's hand tightly, and his expression rarely showed a bit of hesitation, as if he was deliberating about something.

"Azi, listen to me—"

Gu Yan was about to say something to Ye Zi when a woman's voice suddenly came from behind them: "Miss, miss, you can't run around here, miss..."

Two court ladies chased a young girl and ran over from not far away.The woman was wearing palace attire, and she walked unsteadily, and was caught by the palace lady within two steps.

The woman shook off the hands of the two, and begged: "Sisters, I'll just take a look. I promise, I'll come back after I finish. You can just pretend that you haven't seen me, okay?"

The two maids looked suspicious: "Miss, you can't, the new couple is not allowed to meet before marriage. Besides, His Royal Highness is busy with affairs, you will disturb him if you go over like this."

"No, I just want to take a look at him. Just one glance is enough, and I will never disturb him. Let me go—"

"What are you arguing about here?" Gu Yan walked over with Ye Zi in his arms, everyone was startled and turned their heads in unison.

The two maids said in unison: "I have seen the prince and the princess."

The woman also turned her head and saw the two of them. Her almond eyes were wide open, and she looked extremely surprised.

Before she could speak, the palace maid behind quickly pulled her over and said in a low voice: "Miss, this is King Rui and Princess Rui, hurry up and salute."

The woman came back to her senses, and hurriedly made a slightly jerky palace salute to the two: "The daughter of the people has seen the prince and concubine."

Ye Zi turned his head to look at the woman, and asked, "This is..."

A court lady said: "Princess Huirui, this lady from the Jing family is the future imperial concubine, and she just entered the palace two days ago."
