Aslan Star City, White Jade Palace.

At midnight.

All the lights in the room were turned off, the curtains were drawn tightly, and it was pitch dark.

Jiang Jianming sat quietly on the bed alone, sinking himself into the darkness.

The room was depressingly quiet. The young officer lowered his eyelashes, listening indifferently to his heart beating dully in his chest.

He frowned and pressed his palm to his heart.

Heart rate is too fast, still accelerating.

...It has been more than half a month since he was discharged from the hospital and admitted to the palace, and he still has stress reactions to the dark.

Humans have been afraid of the dark since ancient times.

Darkness deprives vision, unknown means danger.

From ancient times to the present, in the dark night, there may be a lurking rock, a beast with its fangs open, a poisonous snake quietly swimming behind, or...

A crystal bone that pierced into the abdomen instantly.

In the darkness, Jiang Jianming arched his back and panted, his pupils dilated indistinctly, and his blue fingers tightly clung to the quilt, almost tearing the fabric——

Suddenly, there were a few hurried footsteps in the corridor outside, and the door was slammed open!

"……what!"

Jiang Jianming shuddered and turned his head pale.The next moment, the electronic light above his head flickered and then turned on, and the orange bedside lamp also lit up softly.

"It's me, don't be afraid." Ryan rushed to the bed in three steps at a time, and hugged him in his arms, "I'm here...don't be afraid, the light is on."

The crown prince's face was tense, "Why are you turning off the lights yourself? Take a deep breath, listen to me, and relax."

Jiang Jianming closed his eyes, pressed against Ryan's shoulder and panted for a long time before he recovered, his voice was a little hoarse: "...My lord, can you be a little self-aware, it's scarier than anything else for you to break the door so suddenly."

Ryan pulled the quilt back and forth and wrapped it around Jiang Jianming's body. After wrapping it up, he hugged him with the quilt again, and the emerald eyes gave him a hard look.

It's such a nonsense, but he still has the face to say it's scary.

The problem of stress disorder was discovered on the first night when Jiang Jianming moved into the palace.

Until then, the patient, who had been brutally tortured at the hands of the enemy, had shown no obvious symptoms of psychological trauma.

When he was writing the report, his thinking was as sharp and clear as ever; he was not afraid of being alone, and he had no fear of crystal bones; although he sometimes had palpitations in light sleep at night, this was also an old problem caused by physical weakness. The doctor said that there were no nightmares or insomnia.Miracle.

He could even retell the story before and after the injury calmly, but often His Highness couldn't listen to it any longer, and slapped the table with a dark face to tell him not to talk.

But think about it, how is it possible?

After enduring such severe mental and physical torture, even veterans who have galloped on the battlefield for many years will be defeated and feel nothing at all. How is it possible?

The first attack was the night when the crown prince took him out of the hospital and lived in the White Jade Palace.

When turned off the lights before going to bed, something went wrong.

Jiang Jianming's reaction was quite strong, but he just kept silent, he was so palpitated that he couldn't breathe, and he didn't speak.

When Ryan realized that his breathing rate was not right, and approached him in the dark to reach out his hand, Jiang Jianming took a sharp breath, as if he wanted to shrink back - he restrained himself, and reluctantly said that it was all right.

As a result, after saying this sentence, people fainted directly.

Ryan was scared out of his wits at the time. Jiang Jianming's hands and feet were cold when he was hugged, and he was pinching his abdomen with one hand.Endure life and death.

It was only later that His Highness learned that the Crystal Sect members deliberately used the crystal bones on Jiang Jianming in the dark.

In the past, in the wards of the Military General Hospital, in order to facilitate the night rounds of the doctors and nurses, there were light green indicator lights on the floor. Although it cannot be said to be very bright, at least it will not make the room completely dark.

The lights in the rooms of the palace can be completely turned off, but Ryan suddenly approached and stretched out his hand in the dark, which was almost a repeat of the scene at that time.

Jiang Jianming was too weak at that time, and couldn't bear the stimulation at all.This incident caused the crown prince and the doctor who came in a hurry to blame himself, that is, he himself refused to understand himself, and when he woke up, he only felt that he was too embarrassed, and even a little annoyed.

Therefore, occasionally I will deliberately turn off the lights to make it dark, trying to force myself to get over it quickly.

Wow... Lean opened the curtains, and the moonlight rushed towards his face, it was clearly a cool and comfortable night.

After that, he never dared to leave Jiang Jianming alone at night, no matter how busy he was during the day, he would go back to the palace to sleep together at night.

But once this person wants to make a fuss, he can't be prevented no matter what.

Jiang Jianming frowned, sitting on the edge of the bed: "I'm much better now, don't worry too much, Your Highness."

Ryan sat down next to him without a good face, and raised his hand to untie the cloak on his shoulders: "Don't be mad at me, I will take a bath with you later, and then go to bed."

The royal dress was cumbersomely decorated, and the process of untying it was not smooth. The platinum-blond curly hair was caught by the big red diamond buckle, and Ryan frowned and gave a "tsk".

"Don't talk, it hurts," Jiang Jianming stretched out his hand to help him avoid it carefully, "Your Highness is coming back so late today?"

Ryan: "The envoy of the Glorious Dominion is coming the day after tomorrow."

Jiang Jianming: "For the affairs of the Lance family?"

The Crown Prince turned his head and thought for a while, his eyes were filled with deep thought, "On the surface, it is, but it should be more than that simple."

"The deputy speaker of the dominion and the eldest son of the speaker came here. This is too big, and the matter of Lance is more like an excuse."

This person is becoming more and more like the ruler of an empire, Jiang Jianming looked at him quietly and thought.

"I guess, it's probably because of the crystal religion, or crystal particles..." Ryan hung the coat he had finally untied on the bedside, and said casually, "In short, you understand, it's those things."

Of course Jiang Jianming understood.

He had waited patiently for a response since he had handed in the report on the truth about the crystal particles.

In order to track down this matter, he really risked his life, whether it is ability or determination, everything that can be proved has been proved.His Highness almost got into a fight with His Majesty because of this.

He thought to this point, the emperor, the leader and the old marshal should also be open and honest, right?

But it didn't. Jiang Jianming tried three or two times in the communication, and vaguely felt their wavering, but the last layer of curtains failed to be pierced for a long time.

Jiang Jianming didn't know if this had something to do with the atmosphere in the empire recently.

To be honest, public opinion is not optimistic.

The high-dimensional blockade was broken, the capital of the empire, Aslan, and several star cities were brutally bombarded, and the people witnessed alien creatures that they hadn't seen in decades...

Although Jiang Jianming has been locked up in the hospital or the palace during this time, he can still get a glimpse of the state of panic from the Internet.

On the issue of the distant interstellar, the advance faction and the contraction faction could barely confront each other; but now, whether it is a commoner or aristocrat, a crystal race or a crystal race, public opinion is overwhelmingly in favor of the latter.

It is enough for Yin Beidou to guard the fortress. As for any interstellar expedition, it is better to allocate a manpower to wipe out the single alien creatures scattered in the empire's star field.

If the real purpose of the Crystal Cult is this, it has to be said that they have succeeded in a certain sense.

Jiang Jianming didn't think deeply, it was too late, he had already violated the doctor's order, he was ordered by Ryan to take a hot bath and then sleep.

The water temperature is comfortable, the bathroom is bright and warm, and the things that are heavy in the bones are softened.

Jiang Jianming leaned against the edge of the bathtub, His Highness Ren raised his arm and wiped it with a towel.

Ryan was washing him seriously, and the mist covered His Highness's beautiful face with a layer of veil, and his curly eyelashes fluttered from time to time.

The wound can't be wet with water, but the special medical solution can. Ryan adjusted the medical solution to a suitable temperature and soaked it for him every night.

Sprinkle with a large handful of golden rose petals, the scent can relax the mind, calm and sleep, and it is also the doctor's suggestion.

It is not so much a bath as it is a treatment.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Jiang Jianming looked at it for a long time, then suddenly said, "That..."

"Yesterday, I received the royal annuity."

Yes, there is a salary for being a crown princess.And it is much more profitable than being an officer of Silver Beidou or Jinrilun.

Ryan looked up and smiled.

"You're rich." He said firmly.

"That's right. His Majesty the Emperor said that he would also give me back the previous three years. I wanted to be polite, but..."

Jiang Jianming's eyes were complicated, and he sighed quietly, "However, Your Majesty has given too much."

The crown princess's annuity is about 800,000 yuan per year, but this is only on the surface, and there are more high-level subsidies.

For example, if Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to attend a high-level banquet, it is normal to spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of coins on a full set from dresses to shoes and jewelry.

And this money can be counted in the subsidy as "reasonable expenses of royal family members".

Jiang Jianming was greatly shocked, and thought to himself, no wonder His Highness could eat the most expensive variety after eating an apple.

Although it is nonsense, the royal family is really rich...

It was at this time that Jiang Jianming realized that neither Lin Ge nor Lai An were extravagant people.

His Majesty the Emperor came from a reckless background, although now he likes to put on the posture of "I will spend the rest of my life as a domineering lady, just sit and wait to die", but it is obviously far from the concept of a faint king.

As for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, this person doesn't seem to have any special hobbies.

When he’s in a happy mood, he walks around the Golden Rose Garden twice. When he’s upset, he kills some alien creatures. When he’s sad, he sits on the top of the White Emerald Palace and blows the snow outside the fortress. He’s such a pure creature..

But don't know what the heirs of the empire will look like in the future.

Knowing that this is too far away, even the racial crisis is at the forefront, but still can't help thinking, perhaps this is also a characteristic of human beings.

Jiang Jianming shook off his inappropriate thoughts, cleared his throat, and said, "In short, I will be regarded as His Highness's man from now on."

It's almost finished washing, Ryan just reached out to reach for the bath towel, and heard that he almost lost his grip.

He gave a hasty "hmm" at first, but immediately felt that he was not imposing enough, so he added a remedial sentence: "Of course."

His Highness shook the towel covertly, looking uncomfortable, and signaled Jiang Jianming to get up by himself.

Jiang Jianming supported the bathtub and stood up slowly, the pool was rattling.

The lines of his body were tight and slender, and the water droplets rolled along the bone line of his neck to his porcelain-like chest, and then were swallowed by the attached bath towel.

"..." Ryan's Adam's apple twitched, his wiping palm paused, and the green eyes dimmed three points.

He didn't dare to look too much, he looked away in embarrassment, wrapped Jiang Jianming twice hastily, fished him out and put him on the bed outside.

The moonlight outside the window is still so clean, and the night wind of the spring night blows outside the window pane, leisurely and beautiful.

Jiang Jianming couldn't help but pursed his lips and let out a smile, thinking of something, his drooping eyes were bright, but the pale and thin skin first faintly showed a bit of bright red.

He raised his hand and turned off the big lamp on the ceiling of the bedroom, leaving only the bedside lamp in warm colors.

Ryan came back with a hair dryer, "Don't mess around, come here and let me dry your hair."

Jiang Jianming looked soft, he lay on his back on the head of the bed, moved slightly inadvertently, and the bathrobe slipped off his knees, revealing his white and tight legs.

A golden rose petal was still stuck in the hollow of his right leg, which was terribly dazzling in the dim soft yellow light.

"Your Highness, since I am now your legitimate spouse."

He stuck his arm out of the bath towel, stroked Ryan's drooping hair, and suddenly said thoughtfully: "Do you want to...try?"

Ryan froze.He was delayed for about three or four seconds before he frowned coldly and asked hesitantly, "What?"

Jiang Jianming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and whispered in embarrassment: "Oh, why are you like this."

He leaned over, his lips were almost attached to the crown prince's earlobe, and he rubbed his lips together in this ear-to-ear position, and said softly, "That's right, do you want to..."

The next moment, Ryan's face turned red!

But at the first moment, he took two steps back, turned his face away in a panic, and said stiffly: "...No, you haven't recovered yet, no."

The author has something to say: Jiang: Do you want to doi?

Lai An:!!?(The hair on the tail is blown up in fright
