After the disagreement with Lu Bu, Yan Qing was reluctant to enter the palace.

After a little contemplation, he walked straight to the direction of his own residence. Going back to stay for a night would not only calm both him and Lu Bu down, but also make the other party realize the seriousness of making a posthumous edict and learn to think twice before acting.

The road was a little farther, but at this time, apart from the brightly lit night market, there were only a few hurried passersby and soldiers patrolling the road dutifully.

Relying on the soft light from the people living in the courtyard, even if there is bright moonlight and, in the end, is too weak, so Yan Qing walked alone with a heavy heart, and those who were lucky enough to rub shoulders with him, but no one recognized, this dressed in basalt robes, is the power of the prime minister of the dynasty, by the emperor's grace of the king of Qi.

It wasn't until a famous general with a high horse and apparently extraordinary status paced up and down, seeing Yan Qing's elegant figure and extraordinary appearance, he couldn't help but look at him for a second before he was extremely shocked to find out the other party's identity.

"Lord Shigemitsu!"

After Zhao Yun blinked his eyes to make sure that he was not the one who had blinked, he did not hesitate to throw away the Shiguang kebabs in his hand that he had only half-chewed, immediately rolled over and dismounted from his horse, respectfully saluting Yan Qing.

"It's so late, Zi Long has only just returned from the barracks?" Yan Qing returned the salute, smiling slightly, "Tomorrow is a day off?"

Zhao Yun twenty nine, but always drunk on military affairs, for many years without a fixed place, not to mention marrying concubines, even want to give him a matchmaker, can not catch others, has been a dashing bachelor.

With Yan Qing and Lu Bu, the two world-famous great bachelors in front of him, Zhao Yun's unattractive behavior was not particularly eye-catching.

Rarely stayed in Xu County for so long, also rushed to celebrate Lu Bu's enthronement ceremony, in a few days, he will pull out his army again and set out to re-guard the junction of Jing and Yi states' territory.

It wasn't that Zhao Yun hadn't been given a mansion, or even the opposite, whenever he went to a place to report on his duties, there was a clearing out of the residence to come, but Zhao Yun wasn't interested in the slightest, and stayed in the barracks as usual.

That is to say, during the recess.

"Just as Your Excellency said." Zhao Yun nodded, then whirled around in hidden anger, "The guards are so bold! To neglect their duties like this-"

Yan Qing hurriedly explained, "But this is wrong to blame Zhongkang, it was on a whim that I concealed a trip out of the palace from him, and he is still waiting outside the palace, unaware of it."

Zhao Yun frowned tightly, grudgingly accepting the loophole-ridden rhetoric, looking at Yan Qing with little approval and criticizing in a polite but not euphemistic tone, "With all due respect to Yun, this is a really inappropriate move by your lordship, it is too indiscreet to be done again."

Yan Qing met the always careful and serious Zhao Yun's slightly condemning gaze, and immediately lost the battle, helplessly carrying the cauldron of haphazard behavior for Lu Bu, the instigator, "What Zi Long said is very true, Qing will certainly listen, and the next time will not be a repeat."

However it would be a fool's errand to dismiss Zhao Yun like that.

Zhao Yun had encountered and confirmed that Yan Qing was indeed alone, so how could he possibly rest assured that Yan Qing would continue traveling alone? Immediately turning his horse around, he helped Yan Qing up, holding the reins himself, walking while keeping a vigilant eye on the surrounding movements.

Yan Qing still wanted to quietly return to his previous mansion, but now he could only dismiss the idea and have Zhao Yun send him back to the palace.

Seeing with his own eyes that Xu Chu ran wildly over with a group of guards, and in the heavily guarded palace, where nothing more could possibly go wrong, Zhao Yun let go of his heart and saluted to take his leave.

So Yan Qing, after being forced to accept Zhao Yun's good intentions, had to face Xu Chu's shocked and inexplicable inquiries, which was really a headache.

He quickened his pace and speedily returned to his chambers, and was so relieved to see a gloomy Lu Bu sitting alone on his couch, concentrating on something.

Since he hadn't alerted anyone, Lu Bu must have come back through the tunnels.

Hearing the subtle footsteps, Lu Bu abruptly turned his head back, and the hostility that was about to erupt from his body dissipated the moment he saw Yan Qing.

Yan Qing did not even look at Lu Bu, whose tiger eyes were burning hot and glowing, and first casually removed the outer garment that was stained with fine snow, and then, with a frosty face, he directly headed for the hot soup pool in the chambers.

--It was too easy to peek into Lu Bu's mind, with all the years they had spent together.

Lu Bu will reveal the reason for this kind of attitude, it is not difficult to guess: obviously he is also very understanding of Yan Qing's temperament, know that after casting that kind of big mistake, Yan Qing is bound to put him cold for some days, but do not want to return to the palace, naturally pleasantly surprised.

When Yan Qing ignored Lu Bu, Lu Bu couldn't even get out of the atmosphere and tiptoed to follow.

Waiting until the hot steam, aroma curls, than used for many years of wooden barrels to spacious many times the bath, Yan Qing mood only slightly recovered some, but still when followed behind the person does not exist, self-concerned about the clothes will be removed, did not enter the appropriate temperature of the water, can not help but comfortably slow sigh.

Lu Bu, on the other hand, was still standing at the edge of the pool, looking blearily at Yan Qing in the water, and without opening his mouth to ask questions, he was standing still.

Yan Qing hummed lightly and suddenly said, "What about the posthumous edict?"

Lu Bu quickly responded, "Burn it."

Yan Qingxin thought that she wasn't stupid enough to go home, and her anger subsided for the most part, but she only indifferently said, "Uh-huh."

Because there was a big, strong and powerful tiger gazing at him, even if Yan Qing's mind was steady enough, she was not comfortable. Only hastily took a bath, and then wanted to go to fetch the large towel that had been prepared by the palace maidservant and placed on the wooden stand by the pool, used for winnowing the water.

Lu Bu was now extremely eagle-eyed, and of course, without waiting for Yan Qing to do it himself, he attentively took a step forward and fetched and handed it over.

Yan Qing took it and faintly said, "Many thanks. It's just that I wouldn't dare to trouble Your Majesty with such trivial matters."

Lu Bu immediately said, "For those who are related to Chong Guang, what is so trivial? Bu Le Yi is very happy, and there is no need to talk about labor."

Yan Qing laughed coldly, "Strange, isn't it true that every time His Majesty is in a panic of idleness, he would be happy to write a few posthumous edicts before feeling any pain? What's the point of following me?"

LB: "...... never again."

With his head hanging down, he followed Yan Qing back to his bedchamber, standing straight aside like a guard, watching him change into his bedclothes without looking away.

Being stared at by a person with a strong presence and aura, Yan Qing could barely hold his cold expression, because Lu Bu's appearance was far from 'normal', he could not call the palace to serve him - to save himself from being seen and then proclaimed that the new emperor would have to lose his prestige in just a few days after ascending to the throne. He also did not feel comfortable calling the palace to serve him - to save him from being seen and publicized, so that the new emperor would be disgraced after only a few days.

"Lights out."

Yan Qing didn't even bother to wait for her hair to dry, so she got on the dragon bed and went to the inner side, her back to Lu Bu.

He answered honestly and put out the light.

Yan Qing, however, couldn't help but open her eyes the moment the lights went out, even if she could only see the hazy outline of the mantle, quietly listening to the rustling movement Lu Bu made, thinking to herself what all this crap was about.

Compared to Lu Bu, Yan Qing in turn resented himself at this point.

Since both of them are big men, the way to quarrel, it should be the previous general disagreement on the fists and feet, said open count, instead of making some of the same couch does not say, hold a cold war, and occasionally open their mouths are also cynical pretense, as if you have to force Lu Bu to come to the low, coaxing a half a day.

What's more, even though Lu Bu made him furious, his intention was really for his own good, and he was furious because he didn't want him to be buried, which was out of a deep love.

Yan Qing himself pondered through, then made up his mind, turned to Lu Bu, who was so flattered that he held his breath on the spot, and said frankly: "I know that you treat me with all your heart, and that the edict was made out of affection, but I have already made up my mind, and I will not stay if you leave."

Seeing Lu Bu to be agitated again, Yan Qing was not amused, reached out and grabbed Lu Bu's, gently intertwined his fingers with his, a moment to appease his impending riotous emotions before warmly and gently said, "Look, hold your hand and grow old with your son."

Lu Bu said sullenly, "How can this be--"

Yan Qing interrupted him with a smile, ''Well, you don't need to persuade me to change my mind, it would be better to love and cherish the dragon's body from today onwards, rather than futilely playing with your little bit of eloquence. You should let your generals do the work of charging into battle and building a career. As the king of the country, you should not even go to the battlefield as little as possible."

After untying the knot in his heart, Yan Qing was in a great mood, and regardless of how Lu Bu did his thinking, he rolled over again and went to sleep with a sense of relief.

When he woke up with a start, not surprisingly, Lu Bu was long gone, and should have gone to the court.

Yan Qing had just sat up and was about to get off the couch, when the palace maids greeted him in fear: "His Majesty has ordered that the Imperial Doctor will be here in a moment, so please don't move your feet first, Your Excellency."

"Oh?"

Yan Qing followed their gazes in disbelief and glanced downward.

Fell into the serious light, then called him a little shocked: last night wrenched a bit, but because he could not feel the pain, the pressure did not pay attention to the ankle, after a night of back and forth, this time has been swollen high, when it is shocking.

But to Yan Qing, who could solve everything with a single peach, it was just looking serious.

Yan Qing quickly regained his composure, but still patiently waited for the Imperial Doctor, who was already halfway there, to arrive and perform some medical treatment before dismissing the surrounding subordinates, turning the peach out of his sleeve and slowly eating it.

As soon as Guo Jiafu entered the door of the bedchamber, he saw the elegant Yan Qing calmly holding a fat peach that was almost half the size of his face, slowly nibbling it bite by bite, and he could not help but raise his eyebrows and blurted out, "Chongguang also believes in that Immortal Peach Sect?"

Yan Qing was caused to choke on the spot by him, coughing several times before she was able to smooth out her breath and angrily slapped him, "What nonsense!"

Guo Jia lightly grunted, but the wise eyes like a torch: "Why don't you go outside to see, now the mountain is full of blooming peach blossoms, and then ask the trekkers, in the end, where are the trees to produce such full of peaches?"

Yan Qing was slightly stunned, he hadn't really paid attention.

"That's just it, I didn't come here for a peach." Guo Jia knew that Yan Qing had quite a lot of mysterious things in his body, but he kept a very low profile, and did not intend to really force him to tell the truth.

After the big win, it mercifully averted its eyes from the peaches and asked with a stony brow, "What have you done to His Majesty?"

Yan Qing didn't even move an eyebrow, "Nothing. What's wrong with him?"

Guo Jia snorted, set out to disbelieve: "has been soulful, sighing, folding listen to the white listen, straight to the bottom people think they say the wrong thing, a more than a silent ...... you still have the nerve to say did not do anything to His Majesty?"

Yan Qing rubbed his brow and told the truth: "There was a fight. He made up, but there was something he couldn't accept for a while, so he inevitably lost his temper."

Guo Jia said coldly and ruthlessly, "The trouble that you have caused, clean up by yourself, there is no reason for you to spend your days leisurely here while still dragging the hind legs of those who accompany the tiger."

Yan Qing responded, yawning lazily, "Have you had breakfast?"

Guo Jia was nonchalant: "Add me to the list."

Yan Qing laughed lightly, "That's exactly what I want."

Just shortly after he sat down at the table, Guo Jia wandered over and caught something with sharp eyes, and couldn't help but eek out, casually catching it and laughing, "Rather, it's the first time I've seen Shiguang's gorgeous hair."

"What?" Stunned for a moment, Yan Qing demanded, "Show me."

Guo Jia just happened to not have thrown it yet, so he handed over the white hair that he had just pulled off.

Seeing Yan Qing staring blankly, he couldn't help but ask, "It's just a white hair, no need to make such a fuss about it, right?"

"It's a good thing."

Yan Qing came back to her senses, her eyes moving slightly, looking at the uncertain Guo Jia with a smile on her face, while in her heart she thought of telling Lu Bu about this as soon as possible.

Finally, finally ......

It was the first time he had seen, in himself, stagnant time begin to flow, leaving behind a trace of aging.
