The emperor always wants to promise himself

Chapter 68 Don't Trust Me
The dim candlelight came over obliquely from behind, enveloping half of Xiao Yu's face softly, Jun Rong stared blankly, the frosty and snowy skin was dyed with warm color, giving people an illusion of tenderness.

As if he was bewitched, he murmured and asked, "Don't trust anyone? What about you?"

Xiao Yu raised his eyes, his dark eyes seemed to be soaked in the water of late autumn, cold and quiet: "I can't be with you forever, but you can trust me for a short time, when you grow up, I will have my own place."

Jun Rong's heart sank, the tenderness and warmth just now was just his illusion, and the candlelight clearly couldn't warm him up.

Lost and inexplicable emotions came to my heart at the same time, Jun Rong looked away in embarrassment, Xiao Yu meant, will I leave when I grow up?
leave?

For some reason, the figure of suicide by hanging flashed in front of his eyes again, his heart tightened, and he couldn't breathe sourly.

The people around him always seem to be leaving, for various purposes, when they are useless, they will slowly walk away.

Xiao Yu...

Jun Rong recited the name silently in her heart, and sucked her nose.

Xiao Yu originally said this, but seeing Jun Rong drooping his head and not speaking, seemed to be crying, he couldn't help being a little confused, "What's wrong?"

Jun Rong shook his head: "Can't the son stay?"

Xiao Yu sighed: "Your Highness, parting from life to death is the normal state of life. No one can accompany anyone forever. When you don't need me and you can be alone, that is, when I retire, if you miss me, you can also occasionally Go see."

She stretched out her hand with a smile, and raised Jun Rong's chin through the small table, "So—don't cry, huh?"

Jun Rong pursed her lips, her eye circles and the tip of her nose were slightly red, Xiao Yu stretched out her hand and pinched his nose, "Your skin is really thin, and you turn red every now and then, it looks pitiful."

Jun Rong said in a low voice: "I will work hard in the future to make myself stronger, but before that, don't leave me."

"it is good."

Xiao Yu answered casually. She attributed Jun Rong's behavior to the child's dependence on the elders. When he grows up, he probably wishes to leave quickly.

She lowered her eyes and smiled lightly, just now her words were just lying to Junrong, if she really left, she must go to a place where no one can find her to live in seclusion, if he finds out, can she still have a good life?
Jun Rong didn't know what was going on in Xiao Yu's mind, so he was temporarily appeased, and smiled lightly: "Then it's settled."

Xiao Yu smiled without saying a word, and turned to talk about another matter: "Just now we talked about Sigong, now let's talk about enthronement, although Sigong seems to be on his own, but I stand beside His Highness , which means that the Dingguo government is about to dominate the family, and Rongguo and Ningguo will definitely not sit still."

Jun Rong's mind turned, "They will join forces to deal with us?"

"clever."

Xiao Yu praised without hesitation, "Before we proposed the enthronement ceremony in the early court, most of the people who opposed it were people from these two families. They don't want His Highness to enthroned, and they will find another owner. Before everything is ready, they will only Make excuses to keep procrastinating.”

Jun Rong seemed to have figured out something: "So this is what you talked about with Duke Ding today?"

Xiao Yu nodded, adjusted his posture, and leaned back on the soft cushion, "Duke Dingguo's Mansion and we are on the same boat for the time being, and we are both prosperous and wealthy, and we are all damaged, so the enthronement ceremony is settled."

Jun Rong's eyes lit up: "How to say?"

"Tomorrow His Highness will summon all the ministers to come to the court. When the time comes, when the fourth prince comes, we will bring up the old matter again. If they disagree, we will label them. They have people in the court, and we are not without them, and I have a future. hand."

When Xiao Yu spoke, his eyes flashed with confidence, and Jun Rong asked curiously, "What backhand?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him: "Your Highness will know tomorrow."

Xiao Yu got up and walked to the window, calling out: "Qingyi——"

"Shua" a black shadow flashed, Tsing Yi fell from the eaves, Xiao Yu pushed the window, and he stood in front of the window, "What is the master's order?"

Xiao Yu got closer, lowered his voice and said to him: "Go back to the palace to find Hanyi, tell him to do this—"

The voice was too low, Jun Rong couldn't hear it at all, but after seeing Xiao Yu muttering for a while, Tsing Yi was obviously stunned, and then smiled at Xiao Yu, "Master, your idea is simply too bad... ah, it's too good Alright, this subordinate will do it now!"

Xiao Yu hooked his lips and smiled: "Go."

She lowered the window, turned back and looked at Jun Rong: "Your Highness, wait and watch the show tomorrow."

As she spoke, she walked towards the gate of the palace, but Jun Rong didn't understand, so she asked, "Where are you going?"

Xiao Yu said without turning his head: "Before that, I have to meet the commander of the Imperial Forest Army. I gave him such a long time to prepare, and he should give me an explanation."

She paused slightly, turned her face sideways, "Will Your Highness go with me?"

Jun Rong blinked: "Okay."

"Get dressed."

"Ah."

Jun Rong hurriedly went into the inner room to change into regular clothes, came out and put on fox fur, Xiao Yu put on his own black cloak, looked him up and down: "Let's go."

……

Fuyue and Tinghua replaced Wenfeng and Wanxue, and stood guard at the door. Seeing the door open, the two hurriedly turned around, "Your Highness, son."

Jun Rong nodded, and Xiao Yu said to them: "Fuyue, the commander of the Imperial Forest Army is on duty tonight, you go and ask the guard at the gate to call him over, and tell him that His Highness and I have something important to ask him, and let him go to the imperial palace. Come to the study."

"Yes."

Fuyue turned around and walked quickly into the night, Xiao Yu looked at Tinghua: "Bring a lamp."

"Hey--"

Ting Hua went to the patrolling eunuchs to ask for a palace lantern, turned around and gave it to Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu turned to Jun Rong and said, "I will illuminate your Highness in front, Your Highness will follow me closely."

Xiao Yu stepped down the steps, Jun Rong hurriedly followed, walking beside him without leaving.

The corridors in the palace are criss-crossed, and they all look similar, so it is easy to go wrong if you don't pay attention.

Jun Rong walked and looked at the surrounding buildings, trying hard to remember where each road leads.

But looking at it, his gaze fell on Xiao Yu in front of him involuntarily. He didn't know when he was a step behind, and Xiao Yu walked in front and didn't pay attention.

Her shadow was even thinner under the moonlight, and the palace lantern illuminated the road, casting another shadow, this shadow was short and thick, and as she walked, the shadow continued to move forward.

Jun Rong watched, and suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of distance.

It was as if no matter how hard he tried, it was always only a shadow of her that he approached, and the real her, standing in the lights of the world, was hard to reach.

Unknowingly, Jun Rong stopped and froze on the spot, Xiao Yu finally sensed that something was wrong, just three steps away, she turned around slowly, the palace lantern swayed, and the candlelight disrupted her shadow , she smiled slightly at Jun Rong: "Your Highness still not following? Are you not afraid of the dark?"

In an instant, Yuehua paled, and Xiao Yu's smile seemed to turn into light, which dazzled him. He stretched out his hand and asked softly, "Can I touch you?"
