The moonlight reflected the snow, and the sky and the earth were clear. The quiet, tree-lined courtyard had been completely burnt down, leaving only fragments of tiles. A few crows were parked on the dead trees, squawking desolately.

The Ling family courtyard really burned down.

Shuyue stepped over the debris and searched inside, but there was no trace.

"Lan..."

She clutched the burnt board of the bed, the one the two of them slept together, left in the ruins.

Shuyue closed her fingers and tightly held a small piece of mahogany board, finally lost her strength, knelt down on the ashes, and sobbed.

The sound of fighting came from behind, and then fell silent again.

Just now the young man came over with a sword, "His Royal Highness, we have to leave as soon as possible. These people are Zuo Cangyu's stalking here. I have already dealt with them, but he will come over soon."

Shuyue didn't move, at this moment she even wanted to give up on herself and let Zuo Cangyu take her away.

The young man seemed to feel something, and said: "The Ling family has paid too much for protecting His Highness. If His Highness insists on doing this, I'm afraid you will only let them down. What you can do now is to cherish your life and complete your great cause."

Shuyue's silhouette is lonely and cold, like a blade stuck in deep snow, sharp and cold.

The young man waited for a long time, and finally waited for her to get up.

"Go back to Town God's Temple." Shuyue walked along the way she came. She didn't believe that Lanyue would be so stupid, and she really caught fire.It must have been arranged, all of this is just a cover, she can't lie to her, it must be like this!

After a heavy snowfall, the next few days were sunny, and more and more people came to Chenghuang Temple to burn incense.

The remaining snow on the roof gradually disappeared, and the traces of that heavy snow finally disappeared without a trace, as if it had never landed on this land.

Shuyue stood under a huge locust tree in the Town God's Temple, and waited for three full days without sleep, but the person she had agreed to meet here did not come as promised.

"fraud!"

Shuyue walked down the stone steps, looked back for the last time, with deep despair and sadness in her heart, and scolded Lanyue for the first time.

The huge branches of the locust tree grow vertically, and there are countless red cloth strips tied to the branches. On the cloth strips, there are wishes written by people who come to pray. The black letters and red strips are flying with the wind.

Shu Yuechao walked towards Mr. Xun and the young man who had been waiting, behind him were countless red stripes of prayer flying in the wind, accompanied by the sound of copper bells hanging from the eaves of the temple, echoing leisurely.

There was no emotion on Shuyue's face, "Let's go. I'll go back with you."

Chapter 22 Secret

Two years later.

In the main hall of the imperial palace, there are many wooden pillars, and the passers-by pass by in a hurry, their faces numb.

A little palace lady accidentally tripped and fell to the ground, and the hot water in the copper plate in her hand splashed all over the floor, and the water was filled, flowing on the mahogany floor, bright red, it was blood.

"Come here, drag down and stick to death."

The old voice of the nanny in the palace came calmly, and then the two guards stepped forward, picked up the little maid who was so frightened that her face turned pale and she was only crying, and soon disappeared.

The Empress Dowager Zuo just came out of the house, and when she saw the bloody scene, she closed her eyes in disgust.

This is an ominous sign.

From the hanging veil in the room came the sound of the young emperor's low cough, intermittent and continuous.Since the beginning of winter, the little emperor has been diagnosed with illnesses. The imperial physician dare not say anything, but he is panic-stricken. His Majesty may die young.

The decoction was continuously sent into the palace, and more than a dozen imperial physicians waited in full force, not daring to relax for a moment, but the effect was minimal, and things did not develop in a good direction.

The Empress Dowager Zuo looked at the endless golden tile roofs below her feet, and sighed deeply. It was time for her to start choosing a suitable candidate for the new emperor.

The maid next to her carefully waited for her to move forward.The Empress Dowager Zuo wore long ornate nail sheaths, her eyelids drooped, the court was quite uneasy recently, and some ministers used the former abolished prince's old codes to talk about things, which made her quite annoyed.

The Queen Mother Zuo even had the desire to help the outstanding children of her mother's clan, and this idea was especially strong when she saw her handsome and transcendent younger brother Zuo Cangyu.

On Magnolia Avenue in Kyoto, a carriage galloped by.It was another year when magnolias bloomed, and the magnolias next to the street were as clean and beautiful as before, without any change.It's just that the person who walked under the magnolia flowers back then has disappeared.

The breeze came, and the corner of the car window was blown up, revealing Zuo Cangyu's melancholy and clear side face, and passers-by on the road who only had a quick glance were already astonished.

A magnolia by the roadside bloomed elegantly and delicately, Zuo Cangyu ordered someone to break it off.He held the flower branch in his hand and walked all the way back to the mansion.

Zuo Cangyu moved back to her Lord Hou's mansion since the small courtyard of Ling's family was destroyed by fire. Cui Jinyin was very happy at first, but soon found that nothing had changed.

Zuo Cangyu lives in Dongyuan, she lives in Xiyuan, not to mention that they are in the same room as husband and wife, even if they don't see each other during the day.

Zuo Cangyu stood in front of the study window, putting the freshly folded Magnolia in a porcelain vase, the housekeeper walked by and said: "Master Hou, this is the servant girl in Madam's room, she said she has something to report to you."

Zuo Cangyu flicked the pure white magnolia flower with her finger, her interest faded, "What's the matter?"

The servant girl wearing a bi-color skirt knelt on the ground, bowed her head and said, "Master Hou, I have something very important, so I can only talk to you alone."

Zuo Cangyu took a look at her only now, this servant girl had a pretty face, with downcast eyes, one could see that her black eyelashes were as thick as crow's wings.For the sake of her pleasing to the eye, Zuo Cangyu allowed her to report alone.

After the steward left and closed the door, the servant girl took out a gou jade and a picture book from her sleeve, knelt down on the ground and said respectfully: "Master Hou, this is picked up by the servant girl in the wife's room. This gou jade is not like a woman What's more, Madam's usual behavior is puzzling, it's related to Lord Hou, slaves dare not hide it, so I'm here to report it."

Zuo Cangyu took it over and took a look. This Gouyu was indeed a man's property, and he flipped through the album, then threw it on the ground in disgust.

Seeing this, the servant girl lowered her head even lower, "Master Hou, you haven't been in the madam's courtyard for a long time, madam is afraid..."

"But it's okay to say." Zuo Cangyu sat down, rubbing his fingers against the jade around his waist, with an expression of impatience already appearing in his brows and eyes.

"I'm afraid I have two minds."

The servant girl lay down on the ground and waited for a long time, but there was no response from above.She imagined many kinds of reactions of Lord Hou, either she was furious and went to ask the teacher about the crime, or the situation was calm and she didn't take this matter to heart, but she didn't know how Lord Hou was thinking at this moment.

Zuo Cangyu looked out the window, the branches were in full bloom, and his wife was also at her prime, so it was normal for such things to happen after living in an empty house for a long time.

He waved his hand, "Come on down, this matter must not be publicized, if there are rumors about the madam in the mansion, you are the only one to ask. You also tell them when you go back, nothing in the madam's court is allowed to be criticized."

"..." The servant girl never expected that Master Hou would be so protective of his wife, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on her back at this moment.

Zuo Cangyu glanced at her, "This matter is not an example, and anyone who tells the truth and ruins the reputation of the wife will be immediately kicked out of the house and go to the countryside to farm."

"Yes, I won't dare to do it again!" The servant girl was already sweating like rain, and when she learned that she could step back, she left the study softly as if she had been pardoned.

The room fell into silence, Zuo Cangyu sat on the seat for a while, then got up and picked up the freshly picked magnolia flower, paced around the screen, and walked to the back room with the curtain hanging down to the floor.

The house here has a unique winter sky, the decoration is exquisite and spacious, one side faces the back lake, you can hear the willows moving and the warbler singing, and it is so quiet that no one can disturb it.

Zuo Cangyu established the rules, without his permission, no one can come near, even the daily sweeping does not need servants, either do it yourself, or let the people who live here do it themselves.

At this moment, the man was sitting by the window admiring the sparkling lake, his profile was beautiful and quiet.
