Chapter 126

She didn't want to wake him up?

The corner of Shangguan Qi's mouth twitched, and a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, but it only passed away briefly. The next moment, he raised the corners of his lips sarcastically and rolled his eyes at him.

"Are you too narcissistic? Why don't I want to wake you up? I'm not that fearless yet!" Although he seemed to be sleeping soundly and cutely at first, he didn't want to wake you up.

But he really didn’t wake me up later!

Xuanyuan Yeya saw her slightly raising her chin and rolled her eyes at him. She smiled silently, reached out and hooked her nose, and then stepped back.[

"Go to sleep. I'll rub your legs." After saying that, his hands covered her calves and kneaded them gently.

"Uh~ No need." He put his legs back, a hint of shyness flashed across his face. "Go and do your work, I'm going to bed! I can't sleep well if you're here." He rolled around, the quilt wrapped around him, and turned sideways.

Closed his eyes.

Looking at Shangguan Qi who had wrapped herself into a rice dumpling, Xuanyuan Yeya wanted to remind her that she might suffer from heatstroke. But when she saw her eyes closed and her cheeks puffed up, she decided to give up the idea. Because according to the previous

To explore the rules, if he said this, she would probably jump out of bed and yell "I'm happy to!". At that time, neither he nor she would be able to step down. So she took the clothes on the side.

He jumped out of bed, but the moment he took the step forward, he couldn't help but turn around and kiss her on the forehead. Then he happily held his clothes and lifted the hanging gauze and walked out.

Then as expected, the mandarin duck pillow he was sleeping on flew out...

She slept until the sun set in the afternoon, and Shangguan Qi was woken up by wet objects one after another. When she opened her eyes, she saw that the silver fox was sticking out his tongue and "licking" her face. The silver fox opened his eyes when he saw her

Opening his eyes, he immediately rubbed his little head happily against her cheek, and then poured it into her cup.

"Didn't I say you're not allowed to come in? Why are you so naughty?" As soon as Yaya opened the hanging bed curtain, she saw the silver fox sticking out her butt and getting under the quilt. She sighed helplessly, and then stepped forward to put it on her.

It hugged him.

"Ouch-ouch-" the silver fox screamed dissatisfied, waving its four hooves in the air, looking at Shangguan Qi pitifully.

"Forget it, I won't sleep. Let it come over." Shangguan Qi yawned lazily as he glanced at the light outside through the bed curtain.

"Okay." Yaya sighed, and just as she was about to let go, the silver fox broke free from her restraints, jumped on the quilt, and then happily ran to lie down next to Shangguan Qi's cheek.

"You are so well-behaved in front of the master. Just now Princess Yurou teased you to see how naughty you were!" Yaya looked at the silver fox who touched Guan Qi's cheek with her head and sighed helplessly.

"Yu Rou is here?" She sat up, held the silver fox in her arms, and stretched out her hand to tease its chin.

"Well, I didn't disturb the master when I saw him sleeping. Then I took the silver fox to her place to play." Seeing the silver fox shrinking obediently into Shangguan Qi's arms, he felt the master's soft hands on it with a look of enjoyment.

Touching her body, there was a look of surprise on her face. "Master, only you can enter her body. Princess Yurou always wanted to hug her, but she was dodged by her several times.

I almost scratched Princess Yurou."

"What?" Shangguan Qi was immediately annoyed when he heard this. He grabbed the silver fox's neck with one hand and lifted it up.

"You were rough with Yurou." He said with a straight face, as if he was scolding a child.

"Woo~" Yinhu made a grievance voice and looked at Shangguan Qi with misty eyes, trying to gain her sympathy.

"Don't do this, it won't work." She replied rudely, then let go of her hand and watched him fall on the quilt. "Go, go down and wait for me. I'll go to Yurou to apologize later!"

"Woo~"

In the imperial study room, Xuanyuan Yeya was sitting crookedly on the dragon chair, reading the minister's memorials. His eyes were as calm as a deep pool, his cold lips pursed lightly, and the light outside the room shone on his bright yellow color.

A touch of warmth was added to the dragon robe. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, a smile flashed in his eyes, like a warm sun rising in winter, and the corners of his lips curved into an elegant arc.

"Is the Emperor happy? Did he laugh after reading the memorial?" Seeing this, the kid who was pouring tea tilted his head and asked in confusion, but he seemed to already have the answer in his heart.[

Is it so obvious? Touching the corner of his lips, a hint of softness flashed in his eyes. Seeing the little kid still staring at him, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. These slaves were "educated" by Qi'er.

I was really becoming more and more courageous. So I gave him a cold look and said in a cold voice: "Do I still need to tell you about my affairs?"

"I don't dare." The little boy lowered his head and said respectfully, but his lips curled up in grievance. Why couldn't his master be as easy to get along with as the Queen? If it weren't for the Yaya there, he would have been there long ago.

Just find another place.

"Humph." He snorted coldly and returned his eyes to the memorial, but he was still thinking about other things. "Is there anything going on with the queen?" Thinking of what happened this morning, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.

Hey, I guessed it right. It turned out to be the Queen. While Xuanyuan Yeya wasn't paying attention, the little boy shook his head secretly, and then said, "Back to the Emperor, just now Fengqi Palace came to report that the Queen has gotten up, and it seems that she is about to wake up."

I want to go to Taoyuan to meet Princess Yurou with the silver fox sent by the emperor."

Taoyuan.

The hands that were holding each other's hands tightened suddenly, and the image of Qi'er and Nanyin Yuluo laughing side by side came to mind again. The look on Qi'er's face at that time was unprecedentedly relaxed and happy, and the playfulness between them was also

It was so natural, as if they had known each other for a long time.

Yes, they have really known each other for a long time.

Xuanyuan Yeya suddenly remembered something, and his eyes gradually became cold. Everything last night was replayed in his mind one by one, his pain, his prayers, and his confession. After the death of his mother and concubine, this was the first time that he had been like this

He humbly prays to someone because he really wants to have that person.

Because he has tasted the pain of the death of the person in his heart, he naturally understands that when the cold heart is melted by someone again, the warmth it brings is the most beautiful flower blooming in the world. He wants to keep this warmth, keep this elegance

However, when he really faced her, he didn't know what to do.

This feeling of powerlessness is very much like that night three years ago——

Shangguan Yu's figure gradually disappeared in the pouring rain and mist. In the dimly lit imperial study, only Xuanyuan Yeya was left alone. The light burned lonely, and the yellow halo printed the words like those carved by an emperor's sword.

Beside his face, the eunuch closed the door and window and retreated. Behind the hanging golden curtain, Shangguan Hong, dressed in court uniform, slowly walked out.

"Old minister, thank you, Your Majesty." He walked slowly to the center of the palace, looked at the closed door, then turned around and knelt down towards Xuanyuan Yeya. His eyes, which had always been shrewd and wise, were now filled with sad mist.

.

"Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. This is what I...should do." Xuanyuan Yeya's voice was as vague as the wind. Shangguan Hong's figure trembled, and an old tear fell down the corner of his eye.

"Your Majesty! Old Minister...I'm sorry for you!" Shangguan Hong burst into tears. "I know that my daughter is not worthy of the Emperor and cannot be the mother of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, but Old Minister...I really do."

I don’t want Qi’er to go away like this... Your Majesty, please forgive me for my selfishness!"

"Prime Minister, there is no need to say more. I am able to achieve this position thanks to the care of the Prime Minister since childhood. Yu... Yu is my good friend, and his sister is naturally my sister. If I let her become the future, I can save her.

She, I...I don't care about marrying a weak and sickly woman, this is regarded as my...repaying my kindness." Xuanyuan Yeya looked at the closed door, and suddenly felt that

A slight pain flashed through, could it be that the friendship of more than ten years was about to be blown away by the wind like this?

"Your Majesty's words are serious. If I hadn't come to ask for help with my old face...Your Majesty, I would have made it clear to Yu'er." The Prime Minister sighed and raised his head to see the confusion in Xuanyuan Yeya's eyes.

With sadness, he suddenly remembered the scene just now, couldn't help but sighed heavily.

"No. It's better not to let him know about this." He closed his eyes slightly, and his straight spine finally couldn't bear the fatigue in his heart, and he slumped on the back of the chair behind him. The feeling of weakness was like a "tide"

Coming...

On one side is the plea of ​​friends, on the other side is the prayer of teacher. Xuanyuan Yeya is caught between them, even breathing is difficult. Although they are all trying to save Shangguan Qi,... one of them believes in the so-called prophecy

, one, he despised the prophecy. He wanted to explain to Yu, but what should he do about Shangguan Hong? Is it necessary to make Shangguan's father and son at odds? He knew that Yu had admired his father since he was a child.

ah!

"Your Majesty, I know that what I'm doing is undoubtedly sacrificing the emperor's happiness to satisfy my selfishness. So I beg the emperor to put my daughter into the cold palace after marrying her as a queen, as long as I let my daughter have a foothold in the palace.

The land is enough. As for the imperial favor, the Shangguan family does not dare to ask for it." When Shangguan Hong saw Xuanyuan Yeya's appearance, the guilt in his heart snowballed. He finally gritted his teeth and looked at him with a firm face.

"I hope your Majesty will make it happen!"

"Prime Minister, do you know that you are also sacrificing Shangguan Qi's happiness." Xuanyuan Yeya raised his eyes slightly and said in a calm tone.

"I know, but the most important thing for Qi'er now is to save her life. As for happiness... I can no longer sacrifice the emperor's happiness."

"My happiness?" The corner of Xuanyuan Yeya's mouth curled up, as if he heard something funny, and there was a cooling arc. Shangguan Hong only felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped, and then he heard the image of Xuanyuan Yeya coming from the upper room.

It was a voice that said to itself, "My happiness has disappeared when I was five years old, so how can I talk about happiness? Besides, the position of queen is the same for everyone. Shangguan Qi is the king of the country, except for her physical condition.

They are all worthy of the position of queen. I should be content."[

"Your Majesty..." Shangguan Hong lowered his head, a hint of pain flashed across his eyes, and finally said in grief, "Please, Your Majesty, please satisfy this selfish wish of my old minister! Qi'er, Qi'er only needs a false name."

.”

Xuanyuan Yeya wanted to say something else, but seeing Shangguan Hong's determined look, he finally nodded.

The heavy rain was still falling outside the house, and the petals on the branches were beaten to the ground by the rain. The dark clouds on the sky were rolling, and from time to time a thunder sounded in the sky. Shangguan Hong slowly walked into the rain curtain holding an umbrella.

, the pitch-black night was like a monster with its mouth wide open, gradually swallowing his old figure into the endless darkness...

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty?"

"Huh? What?" Xuanyuan Yeya shuddered and came back from the memories of that night. Looking closely, the little boy was looking at him with a worried look.

"Your Majesty, are you okay? You don't look too good. Did you not sleep well last night?" The little boy handed him a cup of hot tea, then walked to his side and rubbed his shoulders.

.

"No, last night..." Thinking of the bulging cheeks this morning, a smile suddenly appeared, "I slept well last night."

"Then how..."

"Okay, you go down and inform those ministers, let them investigate this matter quickly for me, and give Ao Cangguo a reply as soon as possible." Let the Nanyinguo envoy return to the country as soon as possible.

His deep green eyes looked at the flowers on the branches outside the window, and the corners of his lips slowly raised a sly arc.

Qi'er, you will be mine.
