In the end, it was Ming Ye who sent Rong Jian back.

It was already late at night, and it was very dark outside. Mingye didn't carry a lantern with him, so he picked one under the eaves of the veranda, and broke a dead branch, and made a temporary lantern to illuminate the way ahead.

Rong Jian's heart is still heavy, as if a deep scratch has been left, even if Akino is omnipotent, it will not be healed just because of his few words.

Ming Ye may lose many, many things, but the one who cares is Rong Jian.

It was very quiet along the way, and they reached the intersection not far from the Changle Hall.

They have walked this road together many times and say goodbye here.

Rong Jian turned his head, wanting to see Ming Ye standing beside him.

The lights suddenly went out.

Rong Jian was taken aback, suddenly lost the light, he didn't know what to do.

Akeno held Rong Jian's hand.

They walk in the dark.It's rare that Ming Ye walks ahead of Rong Jian, and he will find a safe way for Rong Jian.

"Didn't you say that you will always be with His Highness?"

Rong Jian didn't quite understand, Ming Ye's voice was very soft, in this place where there was only each other, they could only hear each other's words.

"I will always be with Your Highness."

Finally, after passing through the intersection shaded by trees, there is light ahead.

Ming Ye stopped where he was and looked at Rong Jian, just like every time in the past, he would wait outside the Hall of Changle and watch Rong Jian walk in.

That night, Rong Jian went to bed early and had many dreams.

He dreamed of what happened just after time travel.

It was dusk, he had just recovered from a long illness, and his brain was not yet sober. When he opened the window for the first time, he heard someone talking about the guard Ming Ye who had been waiting outside for a long time.

He didn't think too much, but just couldn't bear it, and asked the little maid to call Ming Ye in.

Akeno has a pair of very cold eyes, holding a very beautiful camellia in his arms, but the whole person looks very alienated, like a person who is out of reach.

This is where it all started.

If this incident is prevented, if it never happens, will everything after that go forward like Akino's original destiny.

But Rong Jian, who lost his memory in the dream, reappeared a hundred times, every time he had a premonition, his heart ached, and he felt something bad would happen, every time he couldn't turn a deaf ear and let Ming Ye wait there, being watched and discussed by others.

In the final analysis, Rong Jian was too soft-hearted and lost the opportunity to correct.

When it comes to dealing with Ming Ye, Rong Jian is hopelessly stupid.

There was no way to do it, like an instinct carved into the bone marrow.

Man cannot resist instinct.Rong JIan also couldn't refuse Ming Ye.

After waking up from the dream, Rong Jian was in a trance, he was lost for a moment, sat up from the bed, and then slowly realized what happened last night.

When sleeping, Rong Jian doesn't like too much heat, and the earth dragons in the room are not so vigorous, so after sitting like this for a while, he feels cold and trembles unconsciously.

Rong Jian also woke up from his trance, and finally realized what he was going to do.

Ming Ye was originally Rong Jian's personal bodyguard, but now he has become the commander of Jin Yiwei, which can be said to have reached the sky in one step.In the eyes of outsiders, as the old master, the subordinates had a good place to go, of course they should be congratulated.If not, it means dissatisfaction, because Ming Ye did not do well enough in his original position.

Now that the matter has come to this point, Rong Jian will not give anyone an excuse to explain that there is something wrong with Ye Ye.

Thinking of this, Rong Jian put on some clothes and stood up, wanting to call Ling Song over.

Some time ago, the New Year gifts from various places were delivered to the palace, and the House of Internal Affairs was very busy.Lingsong is in charge of the princess's private treasury in Changle Palace. At the end of the year, the long princess receives a lot of things. To be cautious, she always comes and goes in person to prevent mistakes.Unexpectedly, the rules and regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs were chaotic, and no one knew who mistook Ling Song for someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and asked her to sort out the annual gifts from outside and compile them into an account book.

By accident, Ling Song found many things that were wrong, and many things in the ledger were wrong, so she secretly wrote them down.

Ling Song is indeed a rare smart person, and he is very good at calculating accounts. She was careful and asked a few more people. After such an inquiry, there were really many gaps, and the annual ceremony was only a small part of it.

She acted unintentionally, but it alarmed the caring people in the House of Internal Affairs.

Huaxi was the one who noticed it. He came here this time to persuade people: "Miss Ling Song, you must not continue to investigate the matter before."

With a smile on Ling Song's face, he said politely: "I don't understand what my father-in-law said."

Huaxi couldn't see what she meant, so she said "Ouch" and said, "Girl, why don't you know the seriousness!"

That is to say, Ling Song is an inseparable capable maid beside the long princess, otherwise it would be impossible to be so polite.

Huaxi explained earnestly: "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is in charge of His Majesty's private treasury, but this private treasury is only a small part of it, and the power outside is very powerful. Your lord Xu has all hands and eyes, but no one knows about it.I don't know."

Huaxi's heart is also fried. He is the deputy chief eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It sounds beautiful, but he is only serving as a slave for those with serious official names. He has some face in the palace, but in fact he is notNeither can the Lord.

Ling Song was startled, the account of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has reached such a level, it is almost undisguised to collect money, she is an outsider, unfortunately, she can find out what is wrong.

Hua Xi continued: "We are soft-spoken, just slaves, how can we manage so much. If you want, the old slave is the master, and I will give you a New Year's gift, inside and outside the palace, and let the girl have a good year.”

Ling Song's heart turned cold, but he said with a smile on his face, "I know how to measure, so you don't have to be like this, father-in-law."

Just as he was talking, someone came over and said that the long princess had something to do, and Ling Song just got away.

She straightened her clothes, opened the door and entered, and walked to the bedroom.

Rong Jian was sitting by the window reading a book, saw her come in, and asked, "What's the matter? I heard that someone from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is looking for you."

Ancient books are really difficult to read, the characters are very small, and the rows are densely arranged. Rong JIan usually reads very attentively.

Ling Song didn't intend to tell Rong Jian about the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but she felt that she could make up her own mind, and was discovered by the people of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, fearing that it would involve the Palace of Changle, so she blessed the body and dismissed the whole matter.Confidentially.

After hearing the beginning, Rong JIan felt something was wrong. He put down the book in his hand, and instead of blaming Ling Song, he asked, "Ling Song, what do you think of the House of Internal Affairs?"

Ling Song stabilized his mind, not knowing what Rong JIan meant, and said frankly: "I feel that the House of Internal Affairs has become extremely unbearable. Many annual gifts sent around are not suitable, and the most outstanding things are actually withheld.Yes. Not only are the firewood, rice, oil, salt, and charcoal fire fabrics that are commonly used in the palace, but at the end of the new year, many palace ladies and eunuchs will not be given the New Year’s bonus. If there are only small things, it is the chief eunuch’s search for oil and water. If there are only big things, it is the Ministry of Internal AffairsThe boss is daring. But the current situation, from the top to the bottom, from the inside to the outside, withholding all together. It's all messed up."

Ling Song originally worked for Concubine Xiao Gui. Concubine Xiao Gui was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and the attendants in the palace were not badly treated, so naturally it was impossible to deduct their salaries.Later, when he came to the Hall of Changle, the House of Internal Affairs was even more flattering, but there were so many court ladies and eunuchs who were not in front of the master, Ling Song suddenly saw the tip of the iceberg in the accounts of the House of Internal Affairs, and was startled.

This matter was briefly mentioned in the original text of "The Evil Seed" as a background. Rong JIan thought of Ling Song's actions in the book, and felt that on the one hand, she was out for revenge, and on the other hand, she was indeed talented and ambitious, so she wroteQuestion: "Then what do you think? The Ministry of Internal Affairs' accounts are bad like this, do you want to investigate?"

If there was no such intention, Ling Song would not have acted rashly at that time.

Ling Song was stunned for a moment, not understanding what he meant.

Rong Jian waved to her, and told her to come to him: "I said before, you can leave the palace if you want to leave the palace in the future, and if you like to settle accounts, then go and settle. Everyone has ambitions, what about Ling Song?"

Ling Song was still wearing outside clothes, the room was very warm, her whole body became hot, and a drop of sweat rolled down her forehead.

Rong Jian didn't wait for her to answer, and continued: "But the matter of the Ministry of Internal Affairs involves many interests. You can grow from small to big in the palace, but it is inevitable that you will be in danger."

Ling Song said stubbornly: "I want to stay by His Highness's side, and I also want to go to the House of Internal Affairs."

She sees clearly that this is a tribulation, but also an opportunity.She does have that ambition, not just looking at a private treasury in the Hall of Changle.

Rong Jian warned: "It's just that you are going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, among other things, you have to be accompanied by two capable and loyal eunuchs at all times. After all, what crimes have been slandered by others, I can go to get you, but if there is something wrong with youWhat an accident, it’s not okay to be alone.”

This is Rong JIan's personal experience, what happened last time is a lesson.

He felt that for a day in the palace, he should protect the people in Changle Palace for a day.Even if you leave, you should arrange everything in the future.

After a while, Ling Song said: "Isn't there only Si Fu left beside His Highness?"

It sounds like Si Fu is very dissatisfied.

Rong Jian smiled and said, "What happened to Si Fu?"

As soon as Si Fu was mentioned, Ling Song sighed: "A little clever, but not smart."

Rong Jian said with a smile: "It's okay. Someone as smart as Miss Ling Song must be hard to find."

Ling Song also laughed.

One day later, the study resumed school, and it was only two days before New Year's Eve that it was considered a holiday.

Rong Jian went to school as usual, but she was not used to Ming Ye without Ming Ye.

Before opening the window, Ming Ye was outside, but now it is no longer possible.

So the mood is not very good visible to the naked eye.

Once Rong Jian was in a bad mood, it didn't matter to others, Chen Yumen became nervous again.

This matter had nothing to do with him at first, but he was really guilty and held the handle in the hands of the long princess, for fear that if he was not careful, the princess would kill him again.

After careful observation, Chen Yumen, who thought he was smart, finally discovered the problem. The handsome guard had disappeared.

After inquiring around, found out that the guard had gone to the Jinyiwei, and now he is the commander, such a great official with a bright future.

Chen Yumen thought hard at home, and even went to ask his elder brother for advice. Of course, it is impossible to bluntly say something about the long princess and the guards.But his well-informed elder brother still sensed the problem from his ambiguity, and laughed and said: "there are plenty more fish in the sea, why bother to fall in love with a single flower."

Then he was heard by his passing father, who gave him and his elder brother a scolding.

So after class today, Chen Yumen came to the screen of the long princess with confidence, got permission, and walked in.

Chen Yumen racked his brains to comfort Rong Jian: "Your Highness, Ming Ye's guard Gao Sheng is leaving at this time, and he must still miss you in the future, and will never forget your favor."

Rong Jian didn't understand what he meant.

He lowered his voice and continued: "Besides, the other Jinyiwei are also pretty good-looking. I think they are all tall and handsome. Your Highness, why don't you talk to someone else, look at the flowers and enjoy the moon, and I can also help His Highness deliver letters.”

He even quoted scriptures: "Princess Shanyin also raised many beautiful men."

Rong Jian slowly frowned: "?"

As soon as Chen Yumen saw his expression, he felt that something was wrong, and he seemed to have made a mistake.

Rong Jian said, "I only want Ming Ye alone."

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Rong Jian suddenly felt that he seemed to have missed the point.

It's all about Chen Yumen's insane mind, talking nonsense, and leading him astray.

Chen Yumen was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that although the princess would kill without batting an eyelid, she would be so single-minded in terms of emotion, which is lamentable.

After reacting, Rong Jian became angry from embarrassment: "Chen Yumen, you'd better study hard and stop talking. I'm afraid that you will be beaten to death for talking nonsense on the street."

After being scolded, Chen Yumen let out a long sigh, why can't he learn how to please people!

Rong Jian couldn't detect the problem at all, and he said confidently: "What's more, I and Ming Ye's guards are innocent."

Chen Yumen couldn't stand listening to these words, what is innocence, he whispered: "Oh, I want to invite people..."

After all, it is not courageous enough, so dare not say the following words.

Innocent?

Even if he is a man, if he kisses me like this with a pampered young master, his father will probably suspect that he has a habit of cutting off his sleeves and beat him up!

But the other party was a princess, so he could only beat himself up, so he had to endure the humiliation and dared not say a word.

Rong Jian couldn't help but think of Chen Yumen's unfinished sentence.

Is it the kind of innocence that has been said forever, hugged many times, painted eyebrows, and touched the body?

Si Fu has said it more than once, and even Ling Song seems to have that kind of meaning in his words.

Thinking of this, Rong Jian felt inexplicably guilty.

But when he thought about it again, modern people still had too little knowledge to understand what close friends and true friendship look like, and he became confident again.

Here is Chen Yumen who is wronged and muttering, and there is Rong Jian who is innocent and frank. Isn't this a kind of cultural difference between modern and ancient times?

In the next few days, Rong Jian deliberately inquired about Ming Ye's news. Si Fu said that there were too many things to do in charge of the affairs. The new official took office, not only to accept new jobs, but also to interrogate Nan Yu.I eat it when I'm busy.

Probably out of fear of Rong Jian's worry, Akeno sent a message once or twice, saying that everything was fine, but he was too busy recently, so he could only go to see Rong Jian when he was free.

Rong Jian forgave Ming Ye very tolerantly, and hoped that he could eat well.

During this period, I had several conversations with Zhang Sanchuan. When mentioning Mingye, Zhang Sanchuan seemed to have some objections. He felt that since Mingye was a long princess, he should naturally take it under his command. It was a waste of talent for Sun Dong to be there.

Rong Jian has always had a good temper, as long as he doesn't mention Ming Ye, he curled his fingers and tapped his knuckles on the table slowly, making a moderate sound, and said calmly: "Commanders have their own affairs.Meaning, if he wants to be on a job, he has to be under Tong Zhi's hands?"

He added another sentence wearily: "In the eyes of Bengong, he can be anything."

Zhang Sanchuan knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, so he stopped talking.

When it comes to Akeno, Zhang Sanchuan seems to have some objections.

In this way, during the study on weekdays, and every day when going to and from Changle Hall, Rong Jian would always think of Ming Ye in those very subtle and ordinary times.

One night, Rong Jian was really hot, so he threw off the quilt and prepared to drink some cold tea.

He didn't have the habit of asking people to watch the night for him. He got up and got out of bed, but he didn't expect his feet to touch the ground. He just raised his head, but found a figure in front of him.

It's Akino.

Rong Jian almost thought that he was dreaming, but saw Ming Ye's expression was startled, and he looked at it for a long time, as if he was examining and sizing up something, and seemed to be too focused, then turned his head and closed his eyes.

It was rare for Akeno to show so obviously that the situation at this time was beyond his expectation.

Maybe it's because he's too busy today, he's lost some weight, but he's getting taller, his whole body is cold and deep.

what happened?

Rong Jian didn't react at first, but realized in the next moment that he seemed to be wearing a chest-length skirt when he was sleeping, with his entire back and shoulders exposed...

Rong JIan convinced himself that this is nothing at all, just look at the shoulders and back, isn't this very common in modern times?

But the more think about nothing, the redder face becomes, and the faster heart beats.

What a difference!

Calm down!

Akeno must see no evil, and will not care about himself just now.

Rong Jian's heart rate went off the charts, and at this moment, he was almost dizzy.

Maybe it was because there was no movement from Rong JIan for a long time, Ming Ye explained: "I've been too busy recently, I only have time at night, and I haven't seen His Highness for a long time, so I came here."

Rong Jian went to bed early.

Maybe even if he knew, Akeno would still come back.He was so busy with affairs inside and outside the palace that he could barely spare time, and when he had some free time, he really wanted to see Rong Rong.

But Rong Jian was sleeping, Ming Ye didn't disturb his sleep, and walked to the side of the tent.There were four or five layers of curtains, and he opened two or three layers, and saw Rong Jian lying on the bed with a vague figure, sleeping soundly.

Akeno didn't care about busy affairs, or intrigue with people's temptations, but recently he was getting tired of it.

But after watching Rong JIan for a while, my heart is very peaceful.

Rong JIan doesn't need to speak, just a few glances will appease Ming Ye's existence.

Unexpectedly, Rong Jian lifted the curtain and jumped down.

In fact, Ming Ye did not see clearly, he was lost in that moment.

Rong Jian's skin was very fair, with a pearly luster under the dim light, so white that it dazzled Ming Ye's eyes.

The author has something to say:

See: clean and clear!!!!!!!!!

(I will see it very clearly in the future, seeing the beautiful collarbone and the beautiful back, not only seeing but also touching and kissing...)
