Spring Breeze Crossing Guanshan

Chapter 24

Because Nanyu had already left the mansion in the Heyuan compound, there was not even a single servant to take care of her, so the whole courtyard was very quiet.

However, there were bright candles burning in the inner room, which warmed the hearts of the people.

"Xuan'er, you have finished eating the snacks I asked someone to bring from Jingzhou a few days ago? How about I get some more?"

"No." Cheng Yixuan's black hair was loose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were full of sweetness and laziness. When he heard Wang Jinzhi mention the dim sum, he said softly, "I'm always a little bit reluctant. I only eat a little bit a day. There are many more."

"Fool, what are you reluctant to do?" Wang Jinzhi's eyes showed a trace of pity, and he took the boy's face and kissed it gently.

Cheng Yixuan was kissed by Wang Jinzhi, his eyes couldn't help but glow with joy, he lay on Wang Jinzhi's chest coquettishly, then leaned into Wang Jinzhi's ear, and said softly: "Brother Jinzhi, you treat Xuan'er That's great. Today, it's you doting on me again, in fact, Xuan'er always wanted to serve you well, but now, I forgot..."

The boy was naked, and under the lamplight, there were dots of hickey marks left on his skin just now.

He raised his head and looked at Wang Jinzhi emotionally, but then, as if thinking of something, a timid look crossed his face, and he added: "I, I don't know anything else, just I can only serve people, Brother Jin, don't dislike me..."

Cheng Yixuan was timid by nature, even though he and Wang Jinzhi had communicated secretly, he never asked for anything.

Since he was young, almost no one has treated him tenderly, so when facing Wang Jinzhi, he will always feel cowardly and inferior from time to time, even if he says some sweet words under emotion, he will immediately worry that Wang Jinzhi will think of him humble past.

"Xuan'er, I actually wanted to give you this today."

Wang Jinzhi looked at Cheng Yixuan deeply, he picked up the sapphire pendant around his neck, sighed and said: "Although it is not a very valuable thing, but this thing is left to me by my mother, and has been with me for many years, I am afraid that the prince will There are also many people in the palace who know about it, so it is still a little inconvenient. It's just my intention... You should understand that there is really no need to say these things between you and me."

There was a trace of moisture in Cheng Yixuan's eyes, and then he lowered his eyes shyly, of course he understood what Wang Jinzhi said.

He stretched out his hand and lightly stroked the jade pendant around Wang Jinzhi's neck.

That's his.

He never dared to covet extravagant things in his life, but this jade pendant is something he will hold in his hand for a long time to come.

Seeing that the young man was silent, Wang Jinzhi suddenly groped for something from one side of his robe, and said softly, "Look, what is this?"

Under the flickering lights, Cheng Yixuan took a closer look, and Wang Jinzhi's palms turned out to be two bunnies made of grass with dog's tails, one big and one small, and the long fluffy ears were indeed quite charming.

"The big one is me, and the small one is you." Wang Jinzhi scratched Cheng Yixuan's face with the furry point of the dog's tail grass, then handed the two grass rabbits to Cheng Yixuan's hands, and said seriously: "How about it? "

Cheng Yixuan couldn't help but burst out laughing, he shook his head slightly itchy, his peach blossom eyes narrowed with joy.

Dogtail grass is everywhere, which is not so unusual, Cheng Yixuan is not a child of seven or eight years old, how could he be really coaxed by such a small thing.

It's just that Wang Jinzhi is such a calm and rigorous person, even if Cheng Yixuan just thought of him carefully breaking off the dog's tail grass and weaving the appearance of two rabbits bit by bit, he felt it was funny and sweet.

"No, I want a big rabbit." Cheng Yixuan deliberately turned his head and said, "I want the biggest rabbit."

Wang Jinzhi also smiled slightly, he pinched Cheng Yixuan's cheek, and said warmly: "Then Xuan'er, go outside and make some dogtail grass, and I'll teach you to make the biggest one, okay?"

"Then wait for me."

Cheng Yixuan jumped out of bed with a smile, put his clothes on outside indiscriminately, tied a ribbon around his waist, and hurriedly ran out holding two straw rabbits.

But as soon as Cheng Yixuan stepped out of the door and rushed into the courtyard, he saw that tall figure standing under the moon.

As soon as he looked up and saw the man's face, his face turned pale instantly, and even the dogtail grass in his hand fell to the ground in a panic.

"My lord..."

He knelt on the ground with a plop, his voice trembling and authentic.

……

Guan Junchen looked down at Cheng Yixuan who was kneeling on the ground trembling in front of him, his face darkened slightly.

"Why are you so afraid of me?" He lowered his head and asked.

Guan Junchen's question was really ambiguous, and Cheng Yixuan didn't know how long Guan Junchen had been standing here, and whether he heard anything else.

But he was already afraid of Guan Junchen, and his whole body was almost paralyzed by fear, his lips didn't tremble for a moment, and he stuttered as soon as he opened his mouth: "Wang, lord, Xuan'er...Xuan'er just didn't expect you to do this." Come here later."

Guan Junchen narrowed his eyes, and when he heard Cheng Yixuan's words, he immediately thought of what happened just now, and his expression became even more displeased.

He didn't think it was him who turned his face and wanted to leave at all, but felt that Yan Chunxi drove him out. Hearing what Cheng Yixuan said now, he was in trouble again, and he snorted coldly: "Why? Yes, I can't come?"

Cheng Yixuan knelt on the ground, his legs were trembling uncontrollably. Although he was terrified, he vaguely felt that Guan Junchen didn't seem to notice anything unusual, but it didn't mean that he and Wang Jinzhi were out of danger.

The young man was silent for a while, then finally raised his head, and said in a trembling voice: "Wang, lord...Xuan'er, Xuan'er is not fully recovered yet... I'm afraid, I'm afraid, I can't serve you well... Please, please..."

If Guan Junchen's expression had been like this in the past, no matter how uncomfortable he was, he would not have dared to say anything of refusal.

He has always been very timid, but now his heart is tied to Wang Jinzhi in the house, so even if he might lose his life to offend Guan Junchen, he is determined not to ask Guan Junchen to come into the house to hug him.

It's just that his wish had never been taken seriously by Guan Junchen, even if he gritted his teeth and said it like this, his heart trembled, for fear that Guan Junchen would still force him as before, so when he pleaded, he couldn't help but have a crying tone.

Guan Junchen couldn't help being startled for a moment.

After he was rejected by Yan Chunxi, he became somewhat angry from embarrassment.

When he stepped out of the Liufang Pavilion, he felt a little dazed, this Liufang Pavilion was his residence, and he really didn't know where to go when he came out late at night.

In addition, he was holding a breath in his heart, so he walked over to Cheng Yixuan unintentionally.

But as soon as he walked into Cheng Yixuan's yard, he stopped immediately.

What Guan Junchen himself doesn't want to admit is that he has no interest in lingering with Cheng Yixuan at all, even if he is standing in this courtyard, all he can think about is Yan Chunxi pulling his sleeve and asking him where he is going pitifully .

He couldn't help thinking, if he stayed outside for a long time, would that little guy really think that he had spent the night with Cheng Yixuan, would he be angry with him, and would ignore him again.

With this in mind, he couldn't stand any longer, he just wanted to turn around and leave.

But at this moment, Cheng Yixuan suddenly opened the door and ran into the yard.

Cheng Yixuan was originally in high spirits, but when he saw him, he looked like a frightened rabbit, and even dared to say no to him at this moment.

Being rejected twice in one night, Guan Junchen should have been furious, but strangely, he didn't seem too angry.

At that moment, he suddenly thought that in Liufang Pavilion just now, the young man who should have been emotional in his arms also showed a look of fear and resistance. Could it be that he is really so scary.

"Are you so afraid of me?"

Guan Junchen squatted down slowly, looked directly at Cheng Yixuan who was kneeling on the ground, and asked again in a low voice: "But it's because I hit you earlier that you are so afraid of me?"

Cheng Yixuan suddenly panicked, he had been in the mansion for a long time, but he had never seen Guan Junchen squatting down in front of him.

That person's status is graceful, how lofty, but at this moment in the night, the noble Danfeng eyes look a little dark, and the slender brows are slightly frowned, as if thinking about something.

This Lord Ning seems to be slightly different tonight from the past.

But how dare Cheng Yixuan answer his question truthfully.

Before he could respond, Guan Junchen raised his eyes again, looked at him deeply, and asked, "Do you think Yan Chunxi...is also afraid of me?"

Cheng Yixuan also looked at Guan Junchen, a few drops of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead due to nervousness.

In fact, he is not a very quick-witted person, and he really doesn't know how to respond to this kind of question.

But at that moment, perhaps because his desire to protect Wang Jinzhi and himself overwhelmed everything, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he somewhat grasped some inexplicable key.

"My lord," Cheng Yixuan's voice was still trembling slightly, but he said seriously: "Mr. Yan is not afraid of you."

"Mr. Yan...he has you in his heart," he tried hard to think about his words, and finally continued slowly: "He also knows that you have him in his heart, and he is not afraid of you."

Guan Junchen stared at Cheng Yixuan with a pair of long and narrow red phoenix eyes. After a long while, a smile finally slowly appeared in his eyes, and the smile gradually gently spread from his eyes to the corner of his mouth.

Under the moonlight, his silhouette is really beautiful, with thin lips, a high nose, and the faintly exposed dimples around his mouth.

Cheng Yixuan had never seen Guan Junchen showing such a warm smile, he really never thought that this gloomy and arrogant prince would have such a gentle face, and he couldn't help being a little crazy for a while.

"what is this?"

Guan Junchen seemed to be thinking about something, casually picked up the two grass rabbits that Cheng Yixuan had just dropped on the ground, lowered his head to look at them casually, then narrowed his eyes with disdain, and handed them to Cheng Yixuan: "It's a kid's thing—"

Cheng Yixuan was startled, his hands were sweating a little, but he quickly took the two grass rabbits.

He raised his head, still at a loss, and really didn't know whether Guan Junchen would stay here in the future.

"If you feel unwell, rest more."

Guan Junchen just stood up, lifted the corners of his robe with both hands and shook the dust lightly, he glanced at Cheng Yixuan, and said indifferently: "I see that you look pretty good these days, and you have gained a little weight, it should be due to recuperation It’s not too bad—if you want to eat anything, you can talk to Guanshi Wang yourself. This king will return to Liufang Pavilion first.”

After leaving these words, he waved his sleeves rustlingly, turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

Cheng Yixuan knelt on the ground and watched Guan Junchen's figure completely disappear outside the courtyard. Only then did he plop down and sat on the ground. Only then did he realize that his clothes had been soaked in cold sweat just a short while ago.

……

Xu Shi was really too nervous, Cheng Yixuan didn't feel a burst of real fear until Guan Junchen had left the courtyard.

Just a haircut, just a haircut, and he and Wang Jinzhi would be lost forever.

He knew how miserable the guard who had the incident with Yan Chunxi would end up, and he never believed that he could have the same luck as Yan Chunxi, so that Guan Junchen would feel sorry for him.

His life is nothing, death is not a pity, but if, if Wang Jinzhi is implicated...

The more Cheng Yixuan thought about it, the more frightened he became, his legs became weak all of a sudden, and he didn't have the strength to stand up.

Cheng Yixuan panted heavily, until his body was suddenly embraced by a warm and firm embrace, he raised his head, looked at the man in front of him, and tremblingly said: "Brother Jin..."

The young man's face was pale, his lips were moaning, and tears could not help but appear in his peach eyes, he couldn't help but choked up and put his hands around Wang Jinzhi's neck: "Brother Jinzhi, just now...why didn't you take the opportunity? Let's go, in case the prince enters the house, you... If you are implicated by me, I, I..."

He didn't finish the sentence.

Such a good Wang Jinzhi, the Wang Jinzhi he didn't deserve—the one he wanted to keep even if he tried his best.

But Wang Jinzhi just shook his head, and hugged Cheng Yixuan's slender body tightly, as if he wanted to rub the young man in front of him into his body: "I can't go."

Those few moments just now, for him, also made him taste the fear that he had never experienced in his life.

There was only one door between him and Guan Junchen and Cheng Yixuan. When listening to the conversation between Cheng Yixuan and Guan Junchen, every word and sentence seemed to be doomed at any moment. After only a short while, the clothes were soaked in cold sweat.

Of course he could leave, but he absolutely couldn't.

He understood what Cheng Yixuan meant when he wanted to hold Guan Junchen back and tell him to sneak away from the backyard.

But how careful Wang Jinzhi was, not to mention whether this move would disturb Guan Junchen who didn't care at all.Even if he really left and left Cheng Yixuan alone, as soon as Guan Junchen carried the boy to the bed and took a look under the light for a while, how could he not understand what happened, then Cheng Yixuan would be convicted alone.

But how could he leave? When he leaned against the door and listened carefully to the movement, he lived like a year, trying his best to restrain the urge to rush out every moment.

The little boy kneeling outside the courtyard was obviously so timid in the past, but at this moment, he became braver than anyone else.

In the response just now, it was clear that he only wanted to tell him to leave safely, even if he had a tragic ending, he didn't care about it.

As soon as he thought of this, Wang Jinzhi felt a tearing pain in his chest. He was too stupid. He was obsessed with the so-called loyalty, but he never imagined how this well-regulated palace could accommodate the two of them. What a price Cheng Yixuan has to pay for his pedantry.

This kind of thing can never happen again, not even once.

The usually calm and calm Chief Steward of the palace now had his eyes reddened. With a hoarse voice, he stroked Cheng Yixuan's cheek and said hastily: "Xuan'er, good boy, we won't wait, we won't wait... we'll only stay for a few days Today, I will take you away after preparing the things at hand and outside. Let's leave the palace and never come back again, okay?"

Cheng Yixuan stared at Wang Jinzhi obsessively. After a long, long time, the young man couldn't help but let out a small pigeon-like grunt, sobbing and buried his head completely in Wang Jinzhi's chest: "Okay... I, I will listen to you .”

On the night of the Double Ninth Festival, the moonlight was just right.

The bright moonlight sprinkled gently on their bodies, but for some reason, it made people feel a touch of sadness.

Later, Wang Jinzhi still often wondered why he just wanted to wait a few more days.

You know, there are many things in this world that cannot wait.

They should have left that night.
