64.

Lord Yan entered the palace at the age of seven, and was the little emperor's personal bodyguard as soon as he entered the palace.

He followed the little emperor to study and school, and also protected the little emperor from swords and swords.He always keeps the little emperor in his heart, because the little emperor is his master and the only person he needs to protect.

The little emperor gave him a jade pendant, leaned against him and said to him: "Heng, you are my most important person, you will never leave me, you understand?"

Lord Yan held the jade pendant tightly, and kept these words in his heart.

Later, he stayed by the little emperor's side for nearly 20 years, accompanying him every day. Sometimes he even really thought that he and the emperor would live together forever.

Until the little emperor chooses his concubine.

That night, for the first time in his life, Master Yan felt a feeling similar to being abandoned. A person whom he had protected since childhood was about to become someone else's reliance, and he was very jealous.

He thought that he might have fallen in love with the little emperor.

65.

The little emperor's youngest ninth brother was watched by Mr. Yan growing up. When he was young and ignorant, he liked to cling to him and let him hug him. When he grew up, he would still follow behind him and couldn't shake him off.

Although Master Yan would find it troublesome, he didn't dislike him. The little prince was so straightforward and cute, he couldn't dislike him, not to mention that he had eyebrows and eyes similar to that person.

After the little emperor got married, he took the initiative to ask Ying to go to the frontier battlefield, hoping to forget this relationship that should not have arisen.

However, there were frequent wars in those years, and the situation was much more difficult than he expected, and if he was not careful, his life would be lost.

In those days, he would receive letters from the little prince every other month. The handwriting on the letters was majestic, but the contents were all boring and trivial matters, such as the little cat in the palace giving birth, or the new baby in front of the door. The swallow built a nest.

Master Yan would feel childish at first, but later it gradually became the only color on his gray-black battlefield.

Sometimes when he came back from fighting on the front line after a near death, when he read the eloquent letters, the gloom in his heart would unknowingly dissipate a lot, and he himself felt incredible about it.

After the war, Lord Yan returned to the capital. It was the first time in five years that he didn't see the young prince. His appearance had faded from the immaturity of the past, but he still loved to cling to himself.

Lord Yan no longer resists as before, he sometimes feels that the little prince is like a sun, with the power to warm people's hearts, making him, an iceberg, unable to help but want to get closer little by little.

On the night of the winter solstice, the little prince asked him: "Do you like me?"

Master Yan was stunned. He hadn't thought about this question, so he couldn't answer it for a while.

He could hear his heart beating violently on his chest, but he didn't know if it counted as liking, if so, what was his feeling for the emperor?

He couldn't think about it, he only knew that his body made a choice first.

66.

The next day Lord Yan went to the palace, just in time to see the little prince's personal servant girl coming out of the emperor's study, his heart was suddenly suspended.

He knelt all night in front of the emperor's study.

He begged the emperor: "Since the emperor has obtained what the emperor wants, can you let His Royal Highness King Rui survive? I will take him away from the capital, and never get close to the capital again."

The emperor's voice was cold and ruthless, completely different from the gentle and refined little emperor in his impression, he said: "What if I insist on taking his life?"

Lord Yan raised his head and looked straight at him: "The minister will definitely do his best to protect him."

The emperor sneered: "Okay, you treat him now, just like you did to me back then?"

Master Yan took a deep breath and said a word: "Yes."

The emperor lost his temper, dropped the teacup on the table, and shouted at Mr. Yan: "Why? I didn't treat you well! I never treated you badly since I was a child, and now I give you all the guards. What is facing him?!"

Lord Yan straightened his back, and said calmly: "Your Majesty, you are now the son of heaven, sitting on thousands of miles of land, accompanied by beauties in the harem, and will be full of children and grandchildren in the future.

"I have worked hard for the emperor these years, and without me, there will still be tens of thousands of people working hard for you.

"But His Royal Highness King Rui is different...he only has me."

The emperor was quiet for a moment, and then asked in disbelief: "You... like him?"

"……Yes."

At that moment, Lord Yan heard the voice from the bottom of his heart.
