Is the target of the strategy darkened? Then die again

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince took people back to the East Palace.

Soon the news spread throughout Jiangling and Kyoto, and even the imperial concubines heard about it.

The current favorite concubine, Concubine Li, leaned softly against the man who looked obviously depressed. Her thin white fingertips gently drew circles on his body: "Your Majesty~ I heard that His Highness the Crown Prince has brought someone back to the East Palace."

She looks extremely beautiful, as delicate as a bright peony flower: "Although I am not his biological mother, I also hope that the prince can marry a good wife. Now he has brought her back to the East Palace in such a big way, I’m afraid it will harm his reputation.”

Years of extravagance had drained the emperor's body, and he could only rely on elixirs to regain his glory. He wished he could die on the imperial concubine. Hearing her grievances, he would not let her feel sad.

Call someone in immediately.

"Go to the East Palace and order the prince twenty sticks to remember his identity."

Even a young and strong person would have to lie down for two months before he could recover from these twenty sticks. Those who took the order were full of sympathy for the prince.

Concubine Li, who was satisfied that she got what she wanted, smiled sweetly and said: "It's not that I don't allow His Highness the Crown Prince to take concubines, but such a marriage without a matchmaker is not a good idea after all. You go and bring the one from the East Palace into the palace so that I can take a look at you." Look."

"……Yes."

Who doesn't know that Concubine Li is not getting along with His Highness the Crown Prince?

After being brought into the palace, one might not be able to get out again.

"Your Majesty, when the people come here, you should also help me take a look~ I don't know how long it will take for His Highness the Crown Prince to like someone~"

When the lustful emperor heard this, he passionately held Concubine Li's wrist: "Okay."

……

East Palace.

The white-haired young man stood in the courtyard without any desire and stared at the sycamore and banyan tree. The fallen leaves on it were scattered around him, and he didn't even think of picking them off when they fell on his white hair.

Xu Linghe, who had arranged everything and walked over, suppressed his beating heart and walked to him as usual. He naturally raised his hand and picked off the fallen leaves: "I always see you looking at the water. So you also like to look at the trees? ?”

In the past ten years, he had been busy with various things and had never calmed down to appreciate everything around him. But beside him, Xu Linghe felt that the sycamore and banyan tree he had watched for ten years had a unique beauty.

The white-haired young man did not respond.

Xu Linghe, who mostly muttered to himself, didn't feel uncomfortable and picked out some interesting things that happened this year to tell him.

Even if there is no response.

He just wanted to talk to him.

but--

"injured?"

Xu Linghe, who was talking about his unexpected discovery of century-old Ganoderma lucidum at the bottom of the cliff, heard his question.

Xu Linghe, who knew the white-haired young man well enough, was shocked by his inquiry. He couldn't hide the smile on his lips and the joy all over his body: "Yes, but after taking Ganoderma lucidum, not only did my injuries heal, but the hidden injuries of those years were also healed. Heal together.”

"a lot of?"

"...Well, many times."

The white-haired young man stopped talking.

When Xu Linghe was thinking about other interesting things, the person next to him spoke again: "Go back."

"..."

He looked at him in disbelief: "...What did you say?"

The white-haired young man stated once: "Go back."

Xu Linghe: "..."

"You want me to go back to the mountains?"

"Ah."

All these years of unremitting efforts seemed to have been responded to, making Xu Linghe unable to help but want to vent, but he still restrained his excitement, but his voice was a little deeper: "Why do you want me to go back?"

The white-haired young man remained indifferent: "You won't get hurt on the mountain."

Unable to tell whether it was disappointment or bitterness, Xu Linghe showed a gentle smile: "When I finish handling the things here, I will go to the mountain to accompany you."

He will die.

He just wanted to die by his side.

Even if he disappears between heaven and earth, I still want to be somewhere where I can see him.

Usually after saying this, these white-haired young men would turn sideways and stop looking at him, but today there was something different.

Xu Linghe, who was sure that he was being watched, looked puzzled: "What's wrong?"

The white-haired young man took two steps forward, raised his hand and touched his heartbeat: "It beats very fast here."

They were extremely close.

So close that you can feel each other's breath.

It was so close that Xu Linghe could see clearly that there were no flaws on his jade-like skin and... his light-colored lips that made people want to dye them...

The white-haired young man seemed to feel strange and moved his body closer to Xu Linghe.

Xu Linghe, who had never thought that one day he would be able to take the initiative, took two steps back in embarrassment: "I...I was..."

He wanted to explain, but someone stopped him.

"Your Highness, someone has been sent from the palace."

Xu Linghe forced himself to regain his composure: "I know."

When he looked at the white-haired young man again, his earlobes were already so bright red that they could bleed, and he didn't even dare to look at him: "I...I'll go out first and come back later!"

The reaction of turning around and leaving made people wonder what kind of thing happened to make His Royal Highness the Prince run away with ease.

The white-haired young man just looked at his back and left.

He didn't care about the person coming out from behind him.

"You are the one that His Highness the Crown Prince has brought back -" The capable eunuch beside Concubine Li took advantage of Xu Linghe being called to the front yard and came in from another entrance to take away the people in advance.

The arrogant attitude aroused infinite terror in his heart when he touched his back.

My legs were trembling.

He staggered and held on to the pillar to prevent himself from kneeling down, and stuttered out the words that Concubine Li asked him to convey: "Concubine Li... lets you enter the palace, she will hold the hand for... His Highness the Crown Prince..."

After saying these words, the eunuch felt his heart being tugged high.

He felt like he would die if he kept talking.

Why did the prince bring back a man? !

And still...

Make people look intimidating.

Based on the character of the white-haired young man, he didn't want to pay attention to such a thing, but for some reason he turned around.

Even with his eyes closed, the eunuch's legs fell to the ground uncontrollably, and his body was shaking violently.

So scary, so scary, so scary...

The white-haired young man just lifted his feet away from the sycamore and banyan tree and walked out from the direction where the eunuch came in.

The eunuch knelt on the spot for a long time before his legs became weak with lingering fear and he stood up. Only then did he realize that his whole body was soaked with sweat.

Who is he?

……

When he went to the front yard, he found out that someone was sent by the palace to punish him with a stick. In the past, Xu Linghe would have been tortured directly and raised for several months before people knew how difficult it was for him to be a prince.

But things are different today.

especially……

The person in charge of the punishment always looked behind him as if there was no presence, which made Xu Linghe feel alert.

He asked his soldiers to stop the guards coming from the palace, turned around and rushed back to where they came from.

There was no trace of the white-haired young man under the sycamore-banyan tree.
