The two stood in the courtyard, whispering and smiling, and the cold night seemed to become warmer.

Xu Hui came out at some point and stood silently in the shadow of the corridor looking at the two of them, his gentle brows covered with a layer of inexplicable emotions.

No wonder King Jingnan doesn't like His Majesty and A'ao being together.

Your Majesty does treat this young man differently. Maybe Your Majesty himself didn't notice it, but onlookers could see it at a glance.

Fate in this world is really wonderful, it doesn't happen sooner or later.

In that life, he met His Majesty too late, so that His Majesty's heart was already occupied by Xiao Chi, and he could only accompany her silently until the end of his life.

In this life, he changed his fate against fate and was born more than 20 years early with his memories. However, because he came too early, he still could not reunite with His Majesty at the most appropriate time.

He thought that without Xiao Chi's presence in this life, he could enter His Majesty's heart without any hindrance. However, as soon as they met, His Majesty told him that Xiao Chi was also back.

When His Majesty said these words, he was full of joy to share the joy with him, but His Majesty did not know that to him, these words were no less than a bucket of cold water poured over his head for three to nine days.

Fortunately, his concentration was good enough, so he didn't show any abnormality, but where no one saw, a heart had already frozen into ice.

It turns out that no matter how many years have passed, no matter how many lives have passed, there is only one person that Your Majesty loves.

Even without that person, she would not choose to accommodate.

Infatuation is naturally good for the person being loved, but how cruel is it for the person who cannot love it?

He sighed softly and looked at the young man's starry eyes as he looked at Chu Zhao.

If one day, His Majesty finds Xiao Chi, will these eyes be covered with dust from now on?

"Xu Hui, why are you out too?" Chu Zhao finally accidentally saw him standing in the shadows while joking, and walked towards him with a smile, as cordial as ever.

It's just that this intimacy is the intimacy between relatives, not the intimacy between lovers.

Even if her eyes are full of him at this moment, it has nothing to do with love.

"The charcoal fire in the house is too bright. I'll come out to cool off." Xu Hui smiled and walked up to her. His gentle eyebrows covered all the loneliness. He stretched out his hand to her, "Your Majesty has been standing outside for so long. Is it cold?"

"It's not cold. A'ao gave me the cloak." Chu Zhao stretched out his hand to him, "You touch it, my hand is hot."

Xu Hui held her hand. It was soft and warm. Holding it in his hand was enough to offset all the regrets in the world.

"What is your Majesty talking about so happily?"

Chu Zhao laughed and beckoned Ao to come over: "Ao asked me if he and Xiao Chi fell into the river at the same time, who should I save first?"

Xu Hui was stunned for a moment and asked her: "What did your Majesty answer?"

"Save A'ao first." Chu Zhao said, "Xiao Chi can swim by himself."

Xu Hui was stunned again and looked at the young man walking over calmly.

The young man should be very satisfied to be treated so specially by His Majesty, right?

Somehow, some dark thoughts suddenly occurred to him, and he asked again: "What if neither of them can swim?"

Aao's smile suddenly disappeared.

Yes, why didn't he think of this?

Your Majesty only said that General Xiao can swim, but if General Xiao can swim, this problem will not exist.

Chu Zhao was also stunned and glared at Xu Hui angrily: "Are you here to make things difficult for me on purpose?"

Xu Hui smiled slightly, all the dark thoughts hidden behind the gentle smile, making it difficult to see.

"Isn't this just a joke? Your Majesty, why are you serious?" He said with a smile, "Just give me an answer casually."

"No, you took me into a ditch." Chu Zhao pulled Ao over, "Eunuch Xu is too cunning, you don't want to imitate him."

The starlight in Aao's eyes has dimmed a bit.

Although His Majesty did not answer directly, the answer is already obvious.

No matter who falls into the water with Xiao Chi, the king will rescue Xiao Chi immediately, right?

How could Xu Hui, who had been following her for decades, not know this, but he decided to ask.

Aao glanced at Xu Hui, and his thoughts became inexplicably dark: "Then if Eunuch Xu and General Xiao fall into the water at the same time, who will your Majesty save first?"

Chu Zhao: "..."

Xu replied: "..."

Okay, I thought this child was a little puppy with no attack power, but unexpectedly, he turned out to be a little wolf cub with hidden fangs, and he unexpectedly took a bite out of him.

He looked at Chu Zhao and asked, "Then if A'ao and I fall into the water at the same time, who will your Majesty save first?"

Aao suddenly became nervous.

Chu Zhao rolled his eyes speechlessly, regretting very much that he should not have tested Aao with this question.

If she hadn't asked A'ao like this yesterday, she wouldn't be in this dilemma today.

Doesn’t this mean that one’s own misfortune will lead to death?

"I won't save anyone. I'll jump down and die with you, okay?" she said angrily.

Xu Hui and Ao both laughed.

At this time, the door curtain rang, and Murong Xiao walked out from inside with some drunkenness.

Seeing Chu Zhao and the other two people in the courtyard, Murong Xiao immediately darkened his face: "You fools, what are you doing here?"

"..."

Chu Zhao looked up at the red lantern hanging on the corridor, wondering whether it was because the lantern was blind or because he was blind.

"We drank too much, let's come out and get some air." She said good-naturedly, not intending to make him angry for the sake of the Chinese New Year.

"That's just right. I also want to take a breather." Murong Xiao looked at A'ao and then at Xu Hui, "I want to talk to the princess. You two go in first. There is no need to wait here."

Xu Hui's eyebrows turned cold.

Aao also stood still.

Chu Zhao said: "You go ahead and have something to eat. The night is still long. I will go in after saying a few words to the prince."

The two reluctantly entered the house.

Murong Xiao was very unhappy and frowned: "Why is it that my words are getting harder and harder to use? Everyone doesn't take me seriously anymore, right?"

"Your Majesty, you think too much." Chu Zhao smiled and coaxed him, "You don't know that A'ao has always been like this. As for Xu Hui, he is the helper I invited. He is not under our control in the first place, so he can't be like this. Calling around like a servant."

"What did he help you with?" Murong Xiao said displeased, "Don't think that I can't understand, he just misses you."

"How is it possible?" Chu Zhao instinctively denied him, "Anyone you say can miss me, but Xu Hui is impossible. Xu Hui is not that kind of person."

"How is it impossible? I'm a man, I won't be wrong." Murong Xiao insisted, "Does he think he can't see the good things he hides? If he really has no intention of you, why is he guarding you through the back window? one night?"

Chu Zhao: "...does the prince know?"

"Hmph!" Murong Xiao snorted coldly, "Not only do I know him, but I also know the two people on the roof. I'm just too lazy to care."

Chu Zhao: "... Your Majesty is really magnanimous."

Murong Xiao glanced at her sideways: "I am not always so magnanimous. If anyone dares to come to the corner again tonight, I will let the Shen Gong Battalion shoot them into hedgehogs."

"Tonight?" Chu Zhao blinked, suddenly having a bad feeling.

Sure enough, the next moment her hand was grabbed by Murong Xiao and he covered her heart: "Yes, tonight is the night. Don't you think that this night of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new is a good time to consummate your marriage?"

Chu Zhao: "..."
