What kind of bad thoughts can Mr. Xiao have?

Xiao Qi was still kneeling at the same place, before she could speak, she stopped looking at him.

Is she going to accuse him of being reckless again?But obviously... those people deserve what they deserve. He has worked in the Xuan Yu Division for many years and has handles on almost all the courtiers. How many of them are really clean?
He also felt that he didn't kill enough fast enough, that he couldn't wipe out all those sanctimonious scum with evil intentions before she exhausted his value.

Otherwise, how could there be positions for those people she promoted?Otherwise, how to make her New Deal unimpeded?Otherwise, how can we deter the rebellious intentions one after another?
But she didn't want to hear it, so why should he say it?

"By the way, today is Qixi Festival, right?"

Wei Huai'en asked casually.

"Yes, the servant has already patrolled the city defense, and there will never be any thieves taking advantage of the crowd tonight to cause trouble... Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Xiao Qi realized that he had talked too much, but she turned her head to look at him again, so he wanted to search his guts and say a few more words, so that her eyes could stay on him for a while, just for a while.

He knew how pathetic he was, but he couldn't deceive his heart that still wanted to get closer to her.

"Why do you suddenly want to put on lip balm? Why didn't you like it before?"

Wei Huaien was finally willing to ask about the changes in him, and finally stopped talking with him about business.

"Does it look good, Your Majesty?"

It's a pity that Xiao Qi tried to hide it no matter how much he opened his mouth, revealing the joy in his heart.How he expected her to think of him a little bit, even if she was only willing to get close to him for his skin.

Involuntarily, he walked forward on his knees and leaned against her again.If he had a tail, he would have wagged it to the sky long ago.

"If you don't like it, the servant will just erase it..."

His voice stopped abruptly, because Wei Huaien raised his chin and licked the vermilion on his lips.

The mouth fat is slightly sweet, even if you accidentally eat it, you won't feel greasy.

Shouldn't it be time to give this slave who was abandoned by her a little bit of sweetness? After all, it's Chinese Valentine's Day. If you spend a little time trying to make him happy today, maybe he will be honest until the Mid-Autumn Festival.

She kissed him nonchalantly, maybe with a little nostalgia, but she was more thinking about how far to satisfy him a little, stop acting recklessly, and follow her orders wholeheartedly.

But Xiao Qi didn't know that she was still thinking of using and calculating, he only knew that he shed tears again because of her charity.He tentatively moved closer, deepening the kiss.

She didn't push him away, which almost made him feel that she was still the Wei Huai'en who still loved him.

Wei Huaien pressed his arms on the armrest, letting him take the initiative until he tasted the taste, reluctantly backed away, took out a clean handkerchief from his arms, and gently wiped the water on her lips clean.

As for himself, his lip fat was almost eaten up, and his eyelashes were wet with tears. It was obviously just a kiss, but he was like a concubine who would best invite favors after Cheng En.

His cautious look put her in a good mood, and she kissed his clean forehead again.

"Back off and call Shui Jing."

Enough of the sweetness, Wei Huai'en sent Xiao Qi away, and asked Shui Jing about the daily life of the little prince Wei Anxing.

Xiao Qi stood outside the pavilion for a while, and when Ming Feng came forward hesitantly, he gave him a good look.

"Master..."

Ming Feng was already wearing the same uniform as Xiao Qi, but he was still submissive in front of Xiao Qi, and couldn't hold his head up even more because of guilt.

The real master is Wei Huai'en, and Ming Feng must monitor Xiao Qi according to Wei Huai'en's order.But in the end it was he who failed Xiao Qi's friendship between master and apprentice. Fortunately, Xiao Qi regained the favor, otherwise he would really be blamed.

"Your Majesty is afraid of the heat, but the night wind is getting colder, so don't use the ice mirror at night. Let the Clothes Bureau get out a few more shirts. The dragon robe style can't be changed. At least it can make His Highness more comfortable, and..."

Looking at the shadow behind the curtain, Xiao Qi told Ming Feng clearly about the things that had been in his diary for the past few days.When he had nothing to say, he raised his hand and patted Ming Feng's shoulder, telling him to straighten his back.

"I've never blamed you for those things. When walking in front of His Majesty, the most important thing is to have a good appearance... Don't mention what I said to Your Majesty, she doesn't want to hear it. Let's go."

Ming Feng watched Xiao Qi's back go away, sucked his nose and swallowed back his sourness, and ordered the most important things that Xiao Qi said first.

It was he who was sorry for Master.

But he didn't have a smart head, even if he was recommended by the master to secure the position of chief executive, compared with the master who really cared about His Majesty, he still missed too much.

But he also knows that the relationship between His Majesty and Master is not something he should interrupt, it was not in the past, and it will not be in the future.

Southern Xinjiang.

The whereabouts of Pei Yi and Wanglou were first discovered by Xiao Qi's Xuanyuwei some time ago, but the matter was of great importance. The Xuanyuwei of Nanjiang did not act rashly, but while secretly monitoring the two of them, they quickly sent the news back. the capital.

However, by coincidence, the day when the falcon landed in the Xuan Yu Division with the letter box was exactly the day when Wei Huai'en took back the token and sent Xiao Qi to the East Palace to think about his mistakes.

Watchtower was used to being cautious, even though Xuan Yuwei was very well concealed, he still found clues after a few days of delay.

"Yi'er, we seem to be being targeted."

Beside a sugar figurine stand in the city, Pei Yi was staring intently at the kind-faced old lady painting with sugar juice, which was a round-headed and round-brained tiger.

Hearing the reminder from the watchtower, Pei Yi shook their intertwined hands.

"There are too many people here, let them go, when we go back to the mountains, no one will find us, right?"

A strong dragon can't beat a snake, and Wanglou's ability to find the way in the [-] mountains has made Pei Yi amazed until now. The rare medicinal materials hidden in the cave tree are just like picking something out of a bag for him, and they didn't even move. through the gold and silver brought from the capital.

Probably this is why Wanglou wanted to bring her back to southern Xinjiang wholeheartedly.

"Correct."

Pei Yi loves to laugh more and more, but Wanglou will be hooked by her every time.It was as if it was a treasure that he had coveted for too long, and once he possessed it, he never ceased to suspect that it was just his wishful thinking when he was suffering and tortured.

He was so focused on Pei Yi's smiling face that he forgot that this sugar painting was exactly the same as the lantern that Pei Yi had drawn with Wei Anxing in the capital.

Some bonds are slowly revealed after they are lost.

She has always been a mother.

"Just now at the pharmacy, I heard that a batch of good tea has arrived at the tea house. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Wanglou shook Pei Yi's hand, calling her back from her memories.

"What? OK, let's go."

Her absent-mindedness was so obvious that even her smile was a bit far-fetched.Wanglou pursed her lips, said nothing, and led her into another street.

I happened to come across such a scene, a little doll who was walking slowly while being held by his mother, and could not distinguish between male and female, probably tired from toddling, calling ambiguously for his mother to hug him.

The smile that hadn't dissipated on Pei Yi's face froze, she stopped unknowingly, and watched the mother and child walking away intently.

How is her child doing in that lonely palace?She has become a bird out of the cage, living a good life in this place far away from Emperor Gao, but she is also a mother, and she will miss Wei Anxing who is in her arms.

Wanglou finally understood why Pei Yi was sad.

He sighed, took a sip of the untouched sugar painting from Pei Yi's hand, pulled her into his arms, rubbed her braids and softly comforted her.

"After a few years, no one in the capital will look for us anymore, and the little county king is getting older. When we have a chance to go out of the palace, we will go back to Beijing and find a way to meet him...Yi'er, I miss him too."

The last half sentence is not too far-fetched, he knows that he has no children in this life, when he took care of the obedient and sensible Wei Anxing in Prince Duan's mansion, he used his sincerity, even if it was just to compare King Duan everywhere.

Although she has been in southern Xinjiang for a long time, Pei Yi still hasn't adapted to the straightforward folk customs in southern Xinjiang. Even though there are no people on this street, she lightly pinched Wanglou's waist to let him let her go.

"Let's talk about it later. How much a three-year-old child can remember, forget about me."

"I'm serious, Yi'er, as long as you want, I will listen to you."

Watchtower held her face and promised earnestly.

He wanted to squeeze out the weight of deceit and coaxing in his relationship with sincerity bit by bit.

This is not the capital city, he doesn't want to and doesn't bother to plot her heart with the same tricks as the inner guard.

This is southern Xinjiang, his home, and their home.

"I know……"

Pei Yi rubbed against his palm, the haze between her brows dissipated, she even peeked around, and kissed his wrist while no one was passing by.

"Let's go, there will be no good tea if it's late."

The sugar painting finally entered Wanglou's mouth on the way back to the mountain, and turned into the sweet taste on the tip of Pei Yi's tongue.The tails attached behind them lost their traces in the vast forests, and they can only wait for the next time they appear in the town together.

But when the empress ascended the throne and the order to confer the crown prince spread to southern Xinjiang, Pei Yi and Wanglou finally couldn't stay out of it.

The men and horses who came to the southern border jointly by Xuanyu Division and Dingyuan Army met with Pei Yi alone, and the watchtower waited for two full hours before Pei Yi came out.

When meeting Pei Yi's apologetic eyes, Wanglou didn't say anything.

When he went back to the small building in the mountain to pack the things, he didn't speak.When they got into the carriage and only the two of them sat opposite each other, he still didn't speak.

Pei Yi tried to speak several times, but Wanglou could always detect her intentions in advance, and deliberately turned her face away, not giving her a chance.

After going all the way out of the southern boundary and staying at the border of Wanzhou, Wanglou changed the clothes of southern Xinjiang, and asked for a servant from the servant of Xuanyuwei, braided her hair and put on a crown, finally Pei Yi finally Determine what his reticence is about.

"Actually...you don't have to go back with me. Watchtower, that's what I have to do. You don't have to force yourself."

In the dead of night, Pei Yi sat by the bed, persuading the watchtower's back.

"Go back, I promise that when the Dingyuan Army no longer needs me, and when His Majesty has stabilized the court situation, I will return to southern Xinjiang to find you."

She only cared that King Duan was rebellious, and would join forces with the ambitious part of the Dingyuan Army under the banner of Kuang Fu Zhengtong, dragging her child into the chaos, so she agreed to Wei Huai'en's handover without hesitation. Come olive branch.

What's more, the Dingyuan army specially brought several personal letters from the commanders, sincerely inviting her to go to stabilize the morale of the army, and also for the stability of Wei Anxing's crown prince.She is the daughter of the general, and compared to that idiot Duan Wang, there is nothing the master of the Dingyuan Army can do.

It's just that she forgot that she doesn't need to be Princess Duan, she can bathe in the emperor's favor and become a majestic female general, but Wanglou can't.

One day as a slave, you will never be freed for a lifetime.His name is written on the list of servants, and he will be stared at because of this eunuch status in this life.

Perhaps the watchtower was her staunch ally when she was trapped in the inner courtyard and could not be free.But women now have a female emperor to rely on, but the eunuchs can't get a eunuch emperor to rectify their names.

The sky is boundless, how could she pull him back to his hell from the carefree southern border forest, how could she treat him like this?
"……Let's go back."

Wanglou closed his sore eyes, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Pei Yi with a sad face.

"Do not."

She always felt that the watchtower's eyes were like snakes, always thinking coldly how to swallow people whole.But now, maybe the moonlight outside the window was too bright, making his eyes like lakes and seas, hiding endless undercurrents and struggles.

"You can't go to the dragon's pool and tiger's den alone. Yi'er, I have to accompany you."

In an instant, several strange-shaped bugs appeared on his hands. Their ferocious appearance made Pei Yi's back tingle, but they obeyed Wanglou's hands.

He knows Gu skills and snake language, she knows it.With his help, she is indeed more confident to win people's hearts and secure her seat.

"It doesn't have to be..."

But Pei Yi firmly shook her head and rejected him.

"You should go back to Southern Border, that's your home. I don't need you to endure for me, let alone force yourself to wear this dress."

Go back, Watchtower.If what you suffer in the capital is a hundred times more painful than mine, don't go back to the cage for me.

Wang Lou raised his hand and unbuttoned the skirt, Pei Yi thought that he had finally listened to her advice, and was about to take off his underwear and leave.Although she was very disappointed, she didn't regret letting him go.

Pei Yi looked down, watching his robe meandering to the ground. She didn't want him to continue, and even his upper body fell to the ground.

"you……"

Pei Yi's voice stopped abruptly when she saw the whiplash and knife wounds on his chest.

Even if they stayed together day and night during this time, they never shared the same bed, and she never saw him disheveled even once.

It turns out that under his clothes... there is actually hidden evidence left by his most difficult past to look back on.

"People like me have long since lost their place."

He could still laugh out loud, but the slightest bit of the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Are you afraid?"

Pei Yi looked at the scars on his body inch by inch, and finally met his silent eyes that seemed to be full of words.

She knew what he wanted to say.

I have no home, and I have no place to return to.

An eunuch only has his master, and I only have you.

where do you want me to go
The last layer of window paper between them is the humble dignity of the watchtower.Now that she knew everything, how could she push him away?

"Hahaha……"

Pei Yi kept laughing with tears in her eyes, it turned out that they were all lonely.

Watchtower stood on the spot like a log, and was hugged tightly by her helplessly.

Because she stuck it on his heart and asked him:
"You know that I won't be afraid or dislike you, so when you say this, do you want me to hug and kiss you now?"
