[Zhili] stick to this one heart and never leave

Chapter 32

As Zhi Ming said, the posture of sleeping on the side of the bed is indeed a little awkward, but Murong Li didn't tell him that he actually slept peacefully that night.

A table of leftovers has been cleared away by the palace people, Aqiong followed Zhiming to Xuanwu Terrace, Ahua was left in the palace, he saw Murongli was about to go out, so he hurriedly went to pass the steps.

Murong Li looked at Ah Hua's back just as he was about to step out of the door, his eyes pondered, and he suddenly stopped him, "No need, I'll just walk back."

Ah Hua turned her head in a daze, wondering, "But His Majesty ordered..."

Murong Li smiled gently, a cunning flashed in his eyes, "Then don't tell him."

Outside the house, the snow had stopped, and the morning light was shining brightly. Murongli walked all the way on the snow, and his heart was rarely clear. He passed by "Liu Shang Qu Shui" and saw the pavilion in the water. , how long can it be so peaceful?

Zhi Ming wanted to push him away because he felt sorry for him, but what would happen to such a heartache in the eyes of others?The matter of Tianshu has not been resolved, and Zhongyuan has not completely returned to his heart. He still has to conquer the hearts of the people in the world. This journey is destined to be uneven, but before those bloody storms come, just stay with him like this, the road of being a king Already lonely, I really don't want to face him alone.

Murongli turned his head and looked at the Xuanwu Terrace from a distance, as if through the carved wall of blue tiles, he could see the person who was in charge of the universe and planning the world inside, there was a smile on that person's mouth, wicked but majestic, he was sure about the affairs of the world The calmness is the way he likes it, and it is also the way he loves it.

When he returned to Xunyou Terrace, Murongli saw three looking figures, one of them greeted him with joy, needless to say, Ayu, and the other stood aside respectfully, obviously relieved. Geng Chen, his dead guard, had an unfamiliar face at the end. Seeing him coming, he seemed very nervous, and his forehead was dripping with sweat in the winter.

"Are you from the Central Shang Department?" Murong Li asked, he had been in Tianquan for three years, and he was in Lantai Ling, so he could still recognize the official uniform of the Zhong Shang Department.

"My subordinates ordered Zheng Xi to pay homage to Lord Murong." The man let out a long cry, and bowed to Murong Li.

Such a great gift made Murongli a little uncomfortable, he really couldn't think of any intersection between himself and the Zhongshang's order.

Ayu immediately ran to Murongli's side, and whispered beside him, "The order of Zhongshang is here to plead guilty to the king."

Murong Li was stunned for a moment, then he listened to the Zhongshang Department's order and said with a wry smile, "The Zhongshang Department didn't intend to neglect the lord, the matter of the velvet fur was the negligence of the subordinate officials, I hope the lord will forgive me."

His apology, Murongli roughly guessed what it was, but it was originally a trivial matter, he didn't take it to heart, he ordered a chief of the department to make an apology in person, thinking of this long eyebrow, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous He frowns, but he speaks in a gentle and polite way, "Why did the order of the Central Shang Department say that? It's almost New Year's Eve now, and the affairs of the Central Shang Department are complicated. Besides, the fine workmanship of the velvet fur is really worrying my lord."

Hearing the words, the order of the Central Shang Department breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Thank you for your understanding, the best sable fur has been picked and placed in the Palace of the Lord."

Murongli glanced at Ayu, and Ayu nodded, implying that he had already accepted it on his behalf, Murongli pondered for a moment, and then asked Ayu to help Zheng Xi.

Then Zheng Xi pleaded guilty for a long time, and when Murongli finally sent him away with a good word, Ayu rubbed his ears and said, "Finally left, and this is also the case with Shangshu, who neglected the lord earlier. Seeing that the lord of the country has been favored in a while, I come to apologize again, I am used to seeing the wind and the wind."

Murong Li froze slightly when he heard the words, Geng Chen frowned, gave A Yu a dissatisfied look, and was about to turn back when he saw Murong Li shook his head at him, telling him not to talk too much.

Geng Chen had no choice but to look at A Yu angrily, unexpectedly A Yu raised his head suddenly, and saw Geng Chen staring at him fiercely at a glance, his heart trembled, his eyes turned red, he didn't know how he provoked him up.Geng Chen's heart trembled even more. He was raised as a dead soldier since he was a child, and he lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. He had never seen a person with red eyes so easily. Besides, he didn't do anything. He froze on the spot in bewilderment.

Murong Li stroked his forehead, patted A Yu's shoulder, and expressed a little comfort, A Yu still did not really cry, and followed Murong Li obediently, as if he was taking a step slowly. Chen would draw his sword and kill him.

Geng Chen's heart: ...

Thinking that Zhiming would come to accompany him at lunch, Murongli sent Ayu to the dining room to deliver the meal.

Murongli picked up the brocade box on the bookshelf, took out the half-drawn drawings from it, looked at it, and still frowned, is it really hard to make any progress?With a soft sigh, Murongli put the blueprint back again, turned around and saw Geng Chen sitting on one side with a depressed face, in a daze, and asked, "What happened to you and Ah Yu last night?"

Geng Chen was stunned before he realized it, and said speechlessly, "What's the matter, he himself is timid."

Murong Li smiled helplessly, "He grew up in the court, and he was very conscientious and never treated the palace servants harshly. He also had his companions to protect him. He is inevitably timid. Just don't provoke him."

Geng Chen: "..."

Speechless, Gengchen looked at Murongli and felt that he was different from before. In fact, Gengchen noticed something strange when they met in the palace for the first time, but it was because of the crowds at that time, and he was thinking of Murong. Li's situation, he thought he did it on purpose, so he didn't think much about it. Now it seems that from the very beginning, his king is no longer the old king.

Geng Chen was in a complicated mood and couldn't help asking, "Don't you feel angry, Your Majesty?"

angry?

Murong Li squinted at Geng Chen, and said calmly, "Ah Yu's words are unintentional."

Although it is unintentional, it is also true to a certain extent. It is precisely because of Ah Yu's straightforwardness and lack of thoughtfulness that he hits the point. He is the king of a country in Yaoguang, and he has become the new favorite of the emperor in the eyes of others.

Indifferently seeing the resentment in Geng Chen's eyes, Murong sighed softly in his heart, and said indifferently, "What do other people think to me?"

Geng Chen was completely speechless, what else could he say?If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed it was something his king would say.

Back then when Tianxuan attacked Yaoguang, his old master seemed to have a premonition that this catastrophe would be difficult, so he trained him and Geng Yin under the title of the song "Leaving People and Never Leaving". When Yin was in danger, he was ordered to protect Mu Rongli and retreat from his body.

"From now on, Ali will be your master, you must protect him well."

Geng Chen couldn't help being moved when he recalled the trust of his old master. Ye Zhiming also said similar words that day, which made him feel like he saw A Xu... Geng Chen shook his head, how could he compare his old master with that person? mix it up...

After Axu's death, he and Geng Yin secretly protected Murongli.

At that time, Murong Li had just witnessed his relatives die in front of his eyes, and watched his best friend jump off the tower, or die for him, he was in a trance.He is also handsome and handsome, there are always people with malicious intentions trying to get involved with him.Geng Chen and Geng Yin almost witnessed with their own eyes how this young master who was gentle and pure, and even a bit naughty in the mouth of their old master, closed his heart, became cold and unsheathed, raised the knife in his hand, and couldn't even move his eyes. blink.

For a long time, only he and Geng Yin have been trusted by Murongli. This trust largely comes from the fact that they are Axu's people. He used to think that unless he had some intentions, Murongli's side would never let people It was so close, he didn't expect that after Ah Xu's death, there would be someone who could win his heart.

It's true that Murongli doesn't care about other people's words, because those who dare to speak rudely will eventually disappear without a trace, but because of the past, what he taboos the most is letting himself fall into such rumors, even if he doesn't say it, his heart will be silent. I'm also unhappy, can I not care about it now?

Gengchen's heart was churning like a sea. He was a dead man. He had never been so entangled in receiving orders and reporting when he was done. Ming already knew about the existence of me and Geng Yin."

Murong Li froze for a moment, thinking of those few years, indeed one day he was negligent, Zhi Ming suddenly went to Xiang Xutai to look for him, and Geng Chen happened to come to report to him... "Oh, was it then? "Murongli said to himself.

Geng Chen became anxious, "That Zhiming sees through but doesn't tell the truth, what is his intention, the king doesn't understand? He clearly deliberately lured me to take action that day." Thinking of that day, Geng Chen felt guilty again, "I am also a subordinate. It's useless, I fell into his trap and even implicated the country's lord."

Murongli lowered his eyes, stroking the snow jade white flute in his arms, and said calmly, "Even if you don't want to call him Your Majesty, you should call him Emperor Tianquan."

Geng Chen was completely shocked, he opened his mouth, and after a long time he said, "Your Majesty, then... is Emperor Tianquan really worthy of you?"

"Ali."

Both Murongli and Gengchen were taken aback, the one who opened the door was the emperor who had changed his court clothes and was wearing a simple black robe, the man came with a smile on his face, but Gengchen was sweating all over his back, I don't know if he has listened to the conversation just now, and how much he has listened to it. They all say that a companion is like a tiger, if he vents his anger on Murongli, what should he do?

But the emperor who was walking slowly didn't even look at him, he went straight to Murongli's side, saw that he was still wearing his sable fur, frowned slightly, but endured it, sat down beside him, and spoke softly. He asked, "Didn't the Zhongshang Administration send anything?"

Murongli smiled helplessly, "I've given it away, and I've paid for my sins, and I'm keeping the things, Ah Yu."

Zhi Ming was very satisfied, and looked at his own sable fur on Murong Li, suddenly even more satisfied, and approached him, but only approached him, and did not do anything more extreme, squinted his eyes and smiled, "If Ah Li likes widows, sable fur, I will give you this one too."

Murong Li pursed his lips, smiled lightly and said nothing.

Geng Chen didn't want to walk or stay, he was embarrassed, and Murongli finally said, "Your injury hasn't healed yet, go and rest."

If Geng Chen is granted amnesty, he is about to step back, but when he touches Zhi Ming's line of sight, he is startled. The gentle eyes just now are like tigers and wolves lurking in the forest. It makes one's spine chill and is the most dangerous signal .

Geng Chen clenched the hand holding the sword slightly, turned and left unwillingly.

Finally there were only two people in the room, Murongli sighed softly, looked at Zhiming, "Why tease him?"

Zhi Ming smiled noncommittally, and idly picked up Murong Li's black hair hanging on his forehead, playing with it leisurely.

Seeing him like this, Murongli's eyes became more gentle, "When Gengchen recovers from his injury, I will let him return to Yaoguang. Zhiming thank you."

The hands entwined with black hair stopped, Zhi Ming raised his head to look at Murongli, and suddenly stretched out his hand to gently hook the back of his head, touching the tip of his nose, "But I want him to stay."

Murong Li was startled, a little confused.

Zhi Ming said seriously, "He really protects you, I believe in his loyalty to you."

The author has something to say:

Passionate and light as king

This "jun" can be said to be both Zhiming and Ali.

Both of them have a deep affection for each other, but they have never expressed it.Mostly I feel that it is only right and proper to treat you well or not.

I don’t know if you’ve noticed it until now. Except for the first time when Ah Li just woke up, he came to find Youtai in court clothes, and every time after that, he wore ordinary clothes, and he never brought ceremonies to enter. Xunyou Terrace...

Zhiming has always cared about Lord Li's feelings and respected him quite a lot. In front of Lord Li, he never regarded himself as the king of a country.
